Gali Me Aaj Chand Nikla

28th October 2019 ,8 AM ,Patna

Sidharth landed on Jai Prakash Narayan International Airport,Patna after almost 22 hours of flight journey from Seattle to Patna from connecting flight via New Delhi .He was home after whole 1 year to his country,his city,his home,his adobe,his Maa for Chhath Pooja.He has not informed anyone about his arrival and wanted to give surprise to his family.He was walking towards his house with his luggage after paying the cab driver when he heard sharp and strong ringing of temple bells and Sankh Naad/ Conch shell voices  and loud voices of chanting Mantras nearby his house.It was the time of morning aarti on the banks of River Ganga.His house was in a colony  just 5 minutes walking distance from the bank of River Ganga in Digha Ghat of River Ganga.

The Sun was shining in its full glory and Sharda Sinha's Chhath songs playing out from every second house ,he was mesmerised and closed his eyes praying to the almighty and sinking in the euphoria of the moment and opened his eyes again when a strong ray of Sunshine captured and hit his eyes,he was astonished and in spellbound of her just like always .He was equally surprised when he saw her walking towards his home in that Yellow Salwar just like Strong Sun rays and cream color Plazo ,open wet hairs and bare face without any tinch of makeup and talking to herself just like she was 9 years ago.He felt that he saw moon over that bright shiny Sunny day that too in the day time when he saw her ,that pure and beautiful Moon moving slowly under the open sky.

He was completely lost in the moment when he came too close to her and bumping into  her sprinkling the white powder on her petite body and his reverie broke with sound of plate falling on the ground.All he could utter was her name.

"Are Allahabadi Amrood!!"

"What?"She said with half closed eyes due to the sprinkled powder on her face.

"Nahi Bhoot! Bhoot!!".He shouted.

"Bhoot!Kahan hai? Kahan hai bhoot?"She asked petrified clutching the rice flour plate with one hand and tugging his shirt in strong hold from her another hand and coming close towards him.

"Abhi to yahin tha BHOOT but lagta hai ab Chudail hai!!".He said stretching his every word.

"What!! Bhoot chudail bhi ban jata hai!!?" She asked closing his eyes finally.

"Haan to??Itni jor se mera shirt pakda hai us chudail ne ki bas sare button tutne hi wale hai mere shirt ke...lagta hai niyat theek nahi hai us Tharki chudail ki...!!".He said suppressing his laughter.

"Fir ab kya karen...can you please drop me to this house please".She requested indicating him towards his house .

"Ek Minute...did you just called me Chudail??" She asked him leaving his shirt as soon as she realised the meaning what he said.

"Nahi nahi Chudail nahi ho tum bas dikh waise rahi ho,poori safed,khule baal,safed palakein,too much pink lips ,bas ye yellow ki jagah white suit hona tha...complete look aata..hai na!!"He spoke with a serious face .

"Waise You can hold my shirt again,I am not scared of any bhoot aur chudail..I am very Brave!!".He said pursing his lips tight to control his laughter.

"Who are you?Yahan kya kar rahe ho mere ghar me..aur Tharki hoge tum...ladki dekhi nahi ki aa gaye nayansukh lene...Luchhe!! Lafange !! lafandar Kahin ke!!".She said angrily cleaning up his face and clothes.

And Sidharth could not control further and broke into sheer deep laughter.

"Tum bilkul bhi nahi badli naa!!aaj bhi bilku waisi ki waisi hi ho na Shehnaaz? still jsame ust like typical Allahabadi Amrood....."he smiled and looked at her confused and frowning face.
