Hate But Love

12

Shiva was heading towards maa's room but he stood near the door when he heard some voice coming from the room....Shiva stands near the door and peeps inside the room....

Shiva : ye mama aur maa kya baat kar rhe hai?? Chalo acha hai mama bhi hai idar ab maa k sath mama se bhi baat kar lunga...fir mama wo mami ko samjha denge....

Inside room...
Mama : suman ben dekho ap meri bhen ho aur mujhe ap pe pura bharosa hai isliye mai ye shadi k liye maan gya aur mai prafula ko bhi mana lunga....

Shiva : (in mind) ye kiski shadi ki baat kar rhe hai maa aur mama??

Maa : aa chinta mat kar mai hu na....mere hote hue kuch galat nhi ho sakta....

Mama : ap tho jante ho na bachpan Mai he uske maa baap usse chod k chale gye the fir prafula usse hamare ghar le kar aayi aur tabse hum he uske maa baap hai....mai janta hu Prafulla pandya parivar ko zara bhi pasand karti par wo usse bhi zada apni bachi raavi se pyar krti hai.....uske khushi k liye wo ye shadi k liye maan jayegi....suman ben humne raavi ko bade pyar se pala hai....par ap tho jante ho na wo bacho se masum hai....kabhi agar usse koi galti ho Jaye tho apne bachi samjh k maaf kar dena....

Shiva : (happily) matlab maa aur mama hamari shadi ki baat kar rhe hai?? Par inko kaise pata chala?? Chalo jo bhi ho sab maan tho gye......

Maa : tu q tension le rha hai raavi hamari bhi tho bachi hai....bachpan se wo isse ghar mai khel khud k badi hui hai.....aur raavi jaisi bachi tho kismat walo ko milti hai....

(Shiva was very happy and was going but he stopped when he heard Dev's name)

Maa : mai likh k deti hu tujhe raavi k liye dev se bhetar ladka pure Somnath mai kahi nhi milega....

(Shiva was shocked.....were they talking about dev and raavi's marriage?? But why?? Dev never loved raavi?? Raavi liked dev but since when we were in love she would stay away from him?? So why they?? What is wrong??)

Mama : suman ben mai janta hu dev ek bhot acha ladka hai..... MBA kiya hai usne.....sab ki izzat karta hai bilkul shant dimag ka hai par suman ben kya dev raavi ko pasand krta hai?? Kya wo raavi ki sari zimedari utha payega?? Raavi ko sari khushiyan de payega??

Suman : tujhe kya lagta hai mai rishte ki baat dev se bina puche karungi?? Maine pucha tha usse ki usse raavi pasand hai ya nhi tho usne kaha tha usse raavi bhot pasand hai..... isliye tho mai unki shadi karwana chahti hu....dev bilkul waisa ladka hai jaisa ek ladki chahti hai....ek dum saaf dil ka...sushil sanskari..... koi buri aadat nhi hai.....ladkiyon ki izzat karta hai....
Raavi ko pasand karta hai usse hamesha khush rakhega....uski haar choti badi zarurat ka dhayan rakhega.....aur kya chahiye tujhe?? Tu bilkul fikar mat kar raavi yaha bilkul khush rahegi....

(Shiva was really hurt alot because all the qualities of dev maa was telling.... Shiva couldn't match any of them)

Mama : thik hai suman ben mai aaj he raavi aur prafula se baat karta hu.....raavi tho bhot khush hogi usse jaisa ladka chahiye tha waisa he mil rha hai....ek dam smart padha likha gentleman type jo usse bhot pyar karega....aur waise bhi wo tho hamesha se apne ghar he shadi kar k aana chahti thi....

(Shiva left from there)

(He can near the highway and was sitting on the tree crying silently)

Shiva : kya mai raavi k layak nhi hu?? Kya wo sach mai ek padhe likhe gentle man ladki se shadi karna chahti thi?? Mai padha likha tho nhi hu par mai usse bhot pyar krta....

(He kept crying and sobbing)

*FLASHBACK END*

(Maa was in tears and instantly hugs Shiva)

Maa : maaf kar de Shiva mera wo irada nhi tha ki tujhe dukh puchhe mere liye tho mere Charo bache ek jaise hai....maine kabhi kisi ko kaam zada nhi mana par us din.....maaf kar de Shiva maaf kar de......tu tho mera heera hai....

Raavi : agar tujhe bura laga tha tho tu mere pas q nhi aaya mujhse baat q nhi ki?? Tu janta tha mai tujhse bhot pyar karti hu?? Fir q nhi ki mujhse ek baar baat?? Q Shiva??

(Shiva stands infront of front)

Shiva : aaya tha tere ghar tujhse baat karne.....par jo maine sunna aur dekha na agar uske baad bhi mai tujhse shadi kar k teri zindagi kaise barbad kaise kar deta??

Raavi ; (confused) aaya tha matlab?? Aur aaya tha tho mujhse mila q nhi?? Aur zindagi barbad kar deta matlab??

(Everyone looked at shiva)
