Jaane Tu..Ya Jaane Na

Kuch unkahi si baatein,
Kuch unsuljhe se sawal,
Kuch gum si aahatein,
Kuch makhmali se khayal.

Kuch unchuhe se hisse,
Kuch undekhe se makam,
Kuch unchahe kisse,
Kuch unsune se paigam.

Kuch kahaniyaan aisi hi hoti hai, sawaalon se ghiri hui..uljhi hui jinhe suljhana padta hai. Jaise falak chaand ka hai ya sitare ka? Dhun sangeet ki hai ya sur ki? Kirane sooraj ki kehlayegi ya dhoop ki? Boondein baarish ki hoti hai ya baadal ki? Manzil raaste ki hoti hai ya safar ki? Kalam kagaz ki ya alfaaz ki? Bindiya shringaar ki ya alankaar ki? Mohabbat dil ki hogi ya rooh ki? Aise hi kuch sawaalon se bhari kahaniyon mein toh ghum the Sameer aur Naina, jinhe suljhana bilkul nhi tha aasan.

Naina- Sameer dawaai li hai maine, abhi theek ho jayugi. Phir chalte hai na Dinner par.

Sameer- Chupchap leti raho, abhi itna tez sirdard ho raha tha aur abhi Madam ko Dinner par jane ki padi hai. Woh toh kal bhi ja sakte hai na Naina.

Naina- Par tumhara birthday toh kal nhi hoga.

Keeping his finger on her lips, Sameer silenced her and starts rubbing the balm on her forehead.

Sameer- Ab thoda aaram milega.

Holding his hand, Naina pleas him to stay near her. Putting her head on his his chest, she listens to the soft rhythm of his heart. Life becomes a lot more beautiful when there is someone who feels grateful for your existence as much as you're for theirs.

Naina- Tum yahin baithoge toh mujhe zyada aaram milega.

Sameer- Tum so jao, main aata hoon.

Naina- Tum abhi bhi mujhe dard mein nhi dekh paate na..phir chahe woh dard thoda sa hi kyu na ho. Chehra dekho apna aaina mein..kitna darre hue ho.

Sameer- Aisa kuch nhi hai.

Naina- Jab main tumhara sach pakad leti hoon toh bilkul aise hi bhaana banakar chupane ki koshish bhi karte ho. Bilkul jaise abhi apne dusre haath ki Fingers ko Cross karke mujhse chupaya hua hai.

Bringing his hand in front, she chuckles on seeing his fingers crossed. Who says in your fifties, you can't love each other like a child.

Sameer- Tumhe abhi bhi hassi aa rahi hai.

Naina- Haan toh kahin likha hai kya ki sirdard mein hass nhi sakte.
Waise main tumhe bahut tang karti hoon na.

Sameer- Tum nhi karogi toh aur kon karega.

He switched off the light in the room, and even during those moments of darkness her arms search for him.
Holding each other, both slip into silences. She fall asleep as he continues to stroke her hairs.

Sameer(to himself)- Bilkul sahi hi keh rhi thi tum Naina, tumhe thode se dard mein bhi dekhta hoon toh bahut darr jata hoon main. Isiliye toh bas tumhe har dard se bachane ki koshish karta hoon.

After placing a soft kiss on her head, he takes away the doll - Maina's Nainu doll from her hold and puts it back in the almirah. That's when, his gaze falls onto some legal documents that was hidden under the stack of clothes by him deliberately.
