AniDita : Spaces Between Us

The Day We met

A handsome man near 27 Sitting on a chair helding a photo " Tumhari to shadi hogayi hogi, Mujhe maaf kardo main apni zimmedari puri nehi kaar paya, tumhe nehi nikal paya baal bivah ke kaid se, nehi de paya jo woh asman jo main tumhare liye bana nah chahta tha. I am sorry! " He cried. His heart aches thinking about his failure, her destroyed life.

Pata nehi tum kaisi hogi? tunhara pati tumhe kaise rakhta hoga? tumhare sath accha bartav to karta hain na woh? Pata hain main india wapas kiyu nehi jata? kiyuki agar gaya or tumse kabhi mulakat hogayi to main kiya jawab dunga? tumhara samna kaise karunga? tumhari mang mein kisi or ke naam ka sindoor kaise dekh payunga? tumne to kaha tha tum mujhe chunogi. par main hi tumhare layak nehi tha. Tumhe azad karne ki zidh mein maine kho diya tumhe humesa ke liye. Kaka ne kaha tha ke dil ko ushke dhadhkan se koi alag nehi kar sakta. par maine khudh tumhe mujhse door kardiya. Mujhe maaf kardo!

He cried and looked around. Bondita's photos were attached everywhere. Some one barg at the door.

"Anirudh bahar ayo! A man Shouted. Anirudh wipped his tears and opened the door.

" Kiya tu aaj bhi ush ladki ke liye rota rehta jo ab kisi or ki patni hain? 4 saal hogayein uski shadi ko! abhi tak to bacche bhi hogayei honge uske!

Anirudh looked at him with winded eyes.   His heart ached more.

Kiya keh raha hain Saleem? Woh abhi bhi 16-17 ki hogi Uske bacche? shut up! Anirudh said in craking tone.

"haan mujhe shutup bolne se sach nehi badal jayega! tujhe kiya lagta hoga uska pati uske 18 hone ka intezar karega? sab logh teri tarha soch nehi rakhte Anirudh!

Saleem told him. Anirudh covered his ears. 

" mujhe nehi sunnah yeh sab! Please aisi batein maat bola kar" Anirudh said loudly.

" Sacchai se tu jitna bhagega utni hi taqleef hogi tujhe. Tu usse bhul kiyu nehi jata?" Salim advised.

" nehi bhul sakta main usse kabhi bhi!  bhale hi woh mere sath na ho par mere liye aaj bhi mera sabkuch wohi hain.
Anirudh declared.

"Bhul nehi sakta ya bhulna nehi chahta? kiyu khudko dard deta hain aise?"  Salim asked in low tone. Anirudh kept quite.

"Mujhe der horahi hain college jana hain" Anirudh said and left. Salim frowned.

As Anirudh entered at college students got silent. As he is the most strict teacher of college. No student ever saw him laughing. But also the most handsome teacher. If a girl ever tried to gave him love letter she got badly punished.

Here a beautiful girl just got ready as its her first day in college. 

"aaj main finally college jarahi hu granny The girl exclaimed and hugged the old lady.

" Yes tumahre itne saalon ki mehnat rang layi I am really happy for you dear. May god bless you.

"Thankyou so much mujhe apke bakery shop mein job dene ke liye or rehne dene ke liye. The girl said.

" you are not less than a daughter for me. Now go warnah late hojayegi All the best".

The girl noded and left for college. She walked on street while dancing in happiness. She took flowers and threw them in air. It was none other than our bondita. A beautiful girl on in her 17. But her College is too far. She waited for bus and left for London king's college. She was sitting beside window. Suddenly it started raining. She smiled  sadly and recalled anirudh's promise.

"unhone kaha saal ki pehli barish mein hum humesa sath bheegenge. wadah to unhone nibhaya nehi bas yaadein hi chodh gayein. waise to main unhe yaad karna nehi chahti par ish barish ne yaad dila hi di. Koi baat nehi unhone sath chodh diya to kiya hua? sapne to unhone hi dikhaye thei. or aaj meri ek hi wajah hain jeene ke mera sapna pura karnah. or main karungi.aab se bas khusiyan hi hogi meri zindegi mein.
