Tere Bina Jiya Jaye Na

Presence:Kills and Heals!!!

It was day time...when Aarshi's Husband came home...and they sat for lunch...

M- Waise Aarshi ne bataya mujhe Pakhi...sab!
Kal Holika Dahan hai...
Wahaan pe function organised hai...mai soch raha tha...tum bacchon se kal mil lo!!

P- Sure Jiju!!

Aa- Aur apka wo friend aaya?

M- Haan...Aya to tha..abhi wahi dekh raha hai udhar ka kaam...you know na kitna kaam hai mujhe?

Aa- Haan...I know...

M- Waise tum kahan reh Rahi ho Pakhi?

P- Jiju....abhi hotel me hi hoon....I'll look for a flat...

M- Mai dilwa dunga....uski tension mat karo! I know a place....Abhi tum bhale jao!!!

P- Thank u jiju!!

Aa- Chaliye chaliye...khana khaaiye!

(The trio had their lunch and then)

Aa- Tune mobile switch off kardiya?

P- Haan wo...taaki koi call na kare...
But maine dusra no. Leliya hai

Aa- Oho!!

P- Haan...save karle please...ab usme hi call karlena...

Aa- Ok...

(After exchanging the no. Pakhi left for her hotel)

Sitting in the room......

P(in mind)- Pata nahi ghar me sab kya soch rahe honge...kaash aai wahan sab sambhal le...
Kal Holika Dahan hai!!
Shadi ke baad humari ek bhi Holi saath nahi hui Samrat...
Kaash hum kal hi mil paate...
(Chuckled)forget it..

Next day.......she was much excited to meet the kids of the orphanage....
Draped in the dress she wore before marriage...made her feel something different about her....or something old about her...
She took her bangles and started wearing them...
(Smiling whole time)
She took her purse and again reached their House...

Aa- Lo aa gayi Madam!!

M- Chalo chalo...we r getting late!

P- Hmm...

Aa- Waise tu acchi lag rahi hai!

P(smiled)- Thank you...waise jiju kitne bacche hai wahan?

M- umm....bacche to bahut hain...par dhyan se na....unhone sabko koi na koi naam de rakha hai...tumhe kya naam dete hai dekh lenge..

Aa(laughed)- Inka naam to sweetball rakha hai!!!

P- Sweet ball?

M- Bacche hai na....Mazaak kar liya to sweet ho gaye....aur ball jaise hai to ball!!

Aa- Motu!!

P(smiled)- Hmmm..

(They reached the orphanage)
And as the car stopped the children ran towards the car.....

M- Aram se...bacchon...waise mai aapko ek special friend se milwane wala hoon...and wo friend aapke liye gift layi hai...ready?

(The children started shouting and Clapping)

M- So ye hai ap sabki new friend Pakhi didi!!!

(All the children were excited to talk to their new friend)
(She smiled and then started talking to them...all the kids told their names to her and got their gifts)

(The children caught her hand tightly and took her inside to show the orphanage)

While Aarshi and her husband prepared for the Dahan!!!

A man came there....

Aa- Aree...bhaiya aap bahar the?

Sm- Ji!!!wo kuch saman reh gaya tha!Bas wahi Lena tha!!

Aa- Medicines time par le rahe hai na?

Sm- Haan..

Aa- Accha....aap andar jaaiye...bacche bhi wahi hai...kal ka dekh lijiye!!
Waise meri ek friend aayi hai!
Apko milwati hoon usse!!

Sm- Hmm...

(He went inside but as he reached there the lights went off)
(Nothing was visible to anyone)

(The small children started shouting)

Goaaall....goal...gol...gol...

Sm(in mind)- Phir wahi....nagpur me bhi har Holi me ye hota tha...

Here...
P(in mind)- Matlab ye har jagah hota hai!!(smiled)maybe!

Suddenly a small girl hugged her very tightly....and started crying...

(She lifted her and said)

P- Sshh...kya ho gaya..?
Kyun ro rahe ho aap?

G- Didi...mujhe na dar lag raha hai!

P- Aise darte nahi hai...aap to brave girl ho na...ssshhh...aap ro mat...mai hoon na...mai apko big wali chocolate dungi? Hmm?

G- Apko pata hai aap na bilkul sam jaisi ho!

P- Sam??

G- Hmm...wo bhi na aise hi bolte hain...aur ap bilkul angel jaisi ho...
Mai apko sam se milwaungi...(smiled)
Fir ap dono friends ban jana...

P- Ok...(kissed her cheek)

(She kept her down and moved to shut the window that was passing strong winds)

But before she could do anything she stumbled upon a guy...making him fall down below her....a twig entered her eye making her fall on him and a tear escaped her left eye...
Her dupatta had stuck to his watch...and both could feel each other's breath...
The wind was still blowing and she closed her eyes to protect them...
For them both it was an unfamiliar familiar touch...which did not allow them to move...
After some time.... realising her position...Pakhi got up leaving her dupatta on him...it moved and covered his face...
She went and stood near the window....
He got up and removed the dupatta from his face and looked at the girl...

The moonlight falling on her beautiful face...attracted his gaze....
He got a glimpse of her face which shocked him to the core....
Till now she shut the window again making everything dark...
He moved towards her to grab her hand as if he would do any harm to her....but he could see no one there.... meanwhile she took her dupatta and went outside....

And the lights returned....

The children started shouting...Yay...yay...yay

(He was not able to bear her face there....)
He quickly rushed outside.... searching for her...when he did not find her but saw another new girl...
He thought he was mistaken!!!

(His head was paining...he took a leave)

And she could not realise his presence still....

the dahan took place with all the kids over there....

After this they departed from there.....

Was Samrat mistaken?
Or it is his myth!!!?
Will their different paths ever have a same destination?
Or his hate will end this relation?

Her Presence Kills Me!!!
His Presence Heals Me!!!
