Shaan sat silently in the chair, staring out the window.
"Shaan..."
"Hmmm...", he didn't turn.
"Tum Shaurya se baat nhi kar rhe... Aisa karke tum apne bete ko dukh pohoncha rhe ho... Maana ki usne galti-..."
"Galti meri hain...", he cut in.
"Kya keh rhe ho Shaan..."
"Haan Aastha..."
"Galti meri hi hain... Galti humaari hain..."
"Jab vo dono shaadi karna chaahte hi nhi the... hume bhi tab zabardasti nhi karni chaahiye thi..."
"Meri vajah se... meri beti Anokhi ko kitna dukh pohoncha..."
"Usse phone pe baat karne ki himmat bhi nhi hain mujh mein..."
"Shaan..."
"Main jaanti hoon Anokhi ke saath galat hua... Shaurya ne jo bhi baate usse boli... usse use bohot chot pahunchi hogi... Mujhe khud apne aap par gussa aa rha hain ki bevajah meri bachchi ko itna sab sehna pad rha hain... "
"Lekin main... main chaahti hoon ki vo vaapas aa jaaye..."
Shaan turned around and looked at her.
Aastha continued, "Lekin Anokhi bhi galat nhi hain... vo apni jagah bilkul theek hain... Jab Shaurya ne vo kadvi baatein bolkar use yaha se jaane ke liye bol diya... usse rishta tod diya... Toh vo apni self-respect ko chodke yaha vaapaas kyu aayegi..."
"Lekin... lekin Shaan ek baar... ek baar Anokhi se hum baat karke toh dekh sakte haina... Vo baat hum use bta dete haina... "
"Kya pta sab theek ho jaaye... Kam se kam Anokhi ko yeh pta toh chale ki Shaurya ne us din vo baatein dil se nhi kahi thi... Vo iss shaadi ko koi galti nhi maanta...", she said with hope.
"Main jaanti hoon main selfish ho rhi hoon apne bete ke khushi ke liye...."
"Lekin main yeh bhi toh jaanti hoon na... ki vo dono ek doosre ke bina nhi reh paayenge...", she cried.
"Kaise baat karunga main Aastha ?..."
"Main toh gunehgaar hoon uska... Mujhse nhi ho paayega...", he sobbed.
Aastha stared helplessly at him.
They can't help but wait to see what fate has in store for them.
