"kyaaaa"
"kyaa bola tumne". Baba sahab asked Sidharth being completely baffled.
"Ruhaani kon h baba sahab". Sidharth again repeated himself.
"kisne bola tumko ye.. Hnn... Kisne bola". He screamed on Sidharth walking close to him.
"baba sahab aap batate aap bataiye to.. Kon h ye Ruhaani".... Sidharth again again asked him, he was now sure that this person was related to him because the way he could see the layer of anger in baba sahab's eyes.
"CHUP.... BILKUL CHUP..... AAJ K BAAD TUMNE APNI ZUBAAN SE YE ALFAAZ DUBARA NIKAALA TO JAAN SE MAARDUGA". Baba sahab grabbed Sidharth's face tightly.
"NIKLO MERE KAMRE SE".... he pushed Sidharth harshly and ordered him to leave the room.
"baba sahab......" before Sidharth could say anything baba sahab again screamed on him.
"NIKAL JAAO SIDHARTH MERE KAMRE SE ISSE PEHLE M KUCH GALAT KRDU". Sidharth just quietly left from there knowing well there was no point to ask him again.. Baba sahab wouldn't say anything.
"Janna chahte ho Ruhaani kon h". He turned hearing Zubiya ji's voice. She was passing from there but hearing Ruhaani's name from Sidharth's mouth she stopped herself and eavesdropped a bit.
"aap jaanti ho Ruhaani kon h". Sidharth questioned her back.
" mere kamre m chalo tumhe batati hu aaj ki Ruhaani kon h "with that she started moving toward her room and Sidharth followed her curiously.

" ye aaj kidhar reh gye h.... Abhi tk to inko ghar aajana chahiye tha...... ". Shehnaaz whined looking at the the door of their room and then looked around the room.
"Iss aadmi n bhot mehnat krwaai h.. Ab agar ye Insaan nhi maana... To m bhi Baat nhi karungi fir". She said looking around the room.
Over the bed there were balloons which spelled sorry and she had made dinner and his favorite sivaiyaan for him. She knew she was wrong and she made this little effort from her side to mollify him. It was a dinner date.
" 10 baj gye h... Ye aadmi h kidhar...."
"aaj sabse Pehle Iss aadmi ka phone tutega... Jb uthana hota hi nhi h to rakhte kyu h ye Paas m....". She scoffed, she was extremely eager to show him all the stuff she did for him like a little child, well she's a kid.
"allahhh... Inko bhejdo jldi se please". She prayed and sat on on the couch with a thud.

"Ruhaani tumhare baba sahab ki dusri biwi h...". Zubiya ji said shocking Sidharth, he never expected that.
"baba sahab ki biwi.... Aapse nikkah k Baad baba sahab n dubara nikkah kiya tha". He questioned her being completely shocked by the information he just got.
"hnnn.... Humare nikkah k ek ghante Baad hi unhone Ruhaani se nikkah kr liya tha kyuki hum dono ka nikkah siyasati sharto k chalte hua tha.. Pr vo Ruhaani se mohabbat krte the.... Unhone apne abbu ko kbhi Ruhaani k baare m bataya hi nhi or issi beech humara nikkah hogya... ". Zubiya spoke, Sidharth for the very first time observed the hurt and pain in her eyes.
" shuru k ek saal m, Mein Iss Ghar Ki mulazim k alawa kuch bhi nhi thi.... Danish humesha Ruhaani k Saath rehte the... Vo log har wakt Saath rehte the.... Pr beech m khabar aai ki Ruhaani Maa nhi ban sakti h.... Fir Danish dheere dheere mere kareeb aane lage..... Vo Ruhaani se zyada mere Saath Rehne lage.. Mujhe laga ki aakhir kaar vo mujhe bhi ehmiyat denge.... Or esse hi kuch wakt Baad tum paisa huye... ". Zubiya ji lovingly kept her hand over his cheek, caressing it softly. Sidharth's eyes were started getting moist.
" meri jo delivery hui thi vo yahi issi haveli m huyi thi... Jis wakt tum paida huye the.. Ussi wakt Danish mere Paas aaye.. Tumhe uthaya.. Or mujhe meri aukaat dikha di... Unhone bola ki vo tumhe Ruhaani ko dedenge or tum unke or Ruhaani k bete kehlaaoge... M unke Saamne bhot gidgidaai.. Bhot cheekhi bhot chilaayi.. Pr unhone nhi sunna..... Tum meri godd m Sirf tb aate the jb tumhe bhookh lagti thi.. Isske alawa vo mujhe mere bache ko chune bhi nhi dete the... ". Zubiya ji cried and Sidharth hugged her tightly. Before Sidharth could say anything Zubiya ji started speaking.
" Fir jb tum ek saal k the... Tk ek din pata nhi kya hua... Ruhaani ki laash mili thi uske kamre m se... Or heraani ki baat ye h ki tumhare baba sahab ek baar bhi nhi rooye na hi unhone koi gum jaaya..... Mujhe isse zyada kuch nhi pata h....". Zubiya ji completed but Sidharth was still hugging her extremely tight.
" Ammiii". He whispered
"hnn.. Beta". Zubiya ji said caressing his cheek.
"mujhe maaf kr dijiye". He whispered in broken voice.
"Sidharth zyada mt socho...". She knew what he meant but it was not really his fault, somewhere it was but still.
"bss aap mujhe maaf kr dijiye...." and with that he broke the hug and left her room after kissing her head.
