Laagi tujhse lagan

CHAPTER 45

That night Purvi slept. Kavin came downstairs to have some water when his gaze fell on Rohan who was staring at the stars. Kavin thought it was the right time to talk. He took ROHAN outside and asked what the matter was.

'Rohan dekho koi badi baat hai itna mai jaanta hu.. Lekin us baat ko chupane se kya hoga mai nahi jaanta lekin tum apne mom ko utna nahi jaante jitna mai jaanta hu.. Jab bhi koi baat batana hota hai tab vo nahi batati hai.. Isliye mom agar kuch bhi chupaye na tho bata do taaki kal phir pachtana na pade tumhe..' Kavin said.

'Papa mummy.. Mummy galat nahi hai..' Rohan said.

'Kya matlab hai tumhara..?' Kavin asked.

'Nahi mai nahi bata sakta.. Kyunki mujhe khud puri baat pata nahi hai lekin..' Rohan said.

'Lekin kya..?' Kavin asked.

'Mu--mummy ne su--' Rohan stopped when he saw Saanjh and Piya there.

'Su.. Kya..?' Kavin asked.

'Mummy ne suicide karne ki koshish kiya..' Saanjh and Piya said together while Kavin was shocked and turned back.

'Kya kaha tum logon ne.. Su--suicide..?' He asked still not being able to believe.

'Hmm.. Suicide kar ne wali thi vo..' Kavin's mother came near him.

'Subah vo jaag rahi thi isliye humne kuch kaha nahi..' His mother said.

'Achanak aisa kya hua ki vo su.. Vo aisa kyun karegi..?' Kavin asked.

'Pata nahi.. Lekin tumhare jaane ke baad usne khud ko apne kamre mei band kar diya.. Na mujhe, na hi bachchon ko kamre mei aane diya.. Bas aadhi raat ko khaana khaane neeche aayi thi.. Na humse baat kiya na hi vo kuch bol rahi thi..' His mom said.

'Kab hua yeh sab..? Aur aap sab logon ne mujhse itni badi baat chupaya hai..?' Kavin asked, being mad.

'Kavin, parson raat jab mai uske kamre mei gayi tab kamre ke darwaza khula tha.. Maine dekha ki pankhe pe usne phaansi ka fanda banaya hua tha.. Haala ki kal subah phir jab kamre mei gaye tab kuch bhi nahi tha..' His mother said.

'Aap log jaake so jaaiye kaafi raat ho chuka hai..' Kavin said and went to his room to see that a cloth was tied to the fan. He didn't went inside. He saw her sitting on the bed.

'Yeh kya kar rahi ho tum..?' Kavin asked Purvi. He was scared that she might harm herself so he kept his hand on her shoulder.

'Purvi ag--agar koi baat hai tho mujhe batao na.. Yeh.. Yeh kya kar rahi ho tum..?' He asked but getting no reply, he turned her towards him and saw her expressionless. He sighed and hugged her.

'Mai jaanta hu ki tum apni family ko khone ki wajah se udaas ho.. Lekin abhi tumhara rona bahut zaroori hai.. May be hume alag jagah pe chalna chahiye taaki tumhe thoda achchha lage aur tum thoda baat kar sako.. ' Kavin thought.

'Bahut raat ho gaya jaan, so jao..' He said caressing her hair. He pulled her into his arms and then he kept patting her whole night.

The next day, Kavin woke up early and then he informed his mother that he wanted to take Purvi away for sometime. He even went to bureau to inform everyone. He returned home and talked with his kids.

'Mai khud nahi jaanta ki kitna waqt lagega magar mai jaldi aane ki koshish karunga.. I know tum log hum dono ko bahut miss karenge lekin dadi ke saath rehna aur unhe pls tang mat karna..' Kavin said and hugged his kids.

'Jaldi aana papa..' The trio said.

Kavin came to his room and saw her sleeping. He took her suitcase and started packing. She opened her eyes and saw him packing her luggage. She woke up with a jerk and looked at the luggage.

'Uth gayi tum..?' Kavin asked with a smile. He then went to his wardrobe and brought a suitcase which he uses whenever he is out of town. He started packing his luggage and asked her to get ready.

She went inside the washroom and got freshened up. Both sat for breakfast but she wasn't eating anything, so he fed her. Then both left to Shimla.

Kavin tried to talk with her in many ways for the past one year. He kept talking with her about stupid things which he wasn't even interested in. He just wanted her to talk.They returned to Mumbai after an year. Kavin went to bureau.

'Kaisa raha ek saal ka trip..?' Daya asked.

'Mat puchiye sir.. Soch ke bhi gussa aa raha hai mujhe..' Kavin said.

'Purvi ne tumse baat nahi kiya..?' Abhijeet asked while Kavin nodded in no (she didn't talk).

'Maine use surprise diya, propose kiya is umeed mei ki ab vo atleast ek reply degi lekin nahi.. Ek shabdh tak nahi bola usne..' Kavin said.

'Aur tho aur mai ek din ke liye gayab tha.. Mujhe laga vo mujhe dhundh ne ke bahane hi sahi magar kisi se baat karegi.. Dhundhna chodiye vo tho hotel ke kamre se bhi bahar nahi aayi hai..' Kavin said.

'Tho tumne pura saal apne aap se baat kiya..?' Daya asked while Kavin nodded in yes.

'Aaj ek get together ho jaaye.. Hum sab milke Purvi ko force karenge baat karne pe..' Shreya said.

'Agar aaj usne baat nahi kiya na tho mai aur patience nahi rakh paaunga.. Purvi pe mera gussa kisi aur pe na nikal jaaye..' Kavin said and then he got busy working.

At night, everyone was in a farm house. The girls kept dragging Purvi in different games but she didn't say a word which made Kavin more furious.

'So jaaiye bahut raat ho gaya hai..' Kavin said. Everyone was ready to sleep when..

'Bas ek last game.. Truth or dare khelte hai.. Lekin mujhe bas 5 min do mai abhi aati hu..' Tarika said. She went to a corner and then created a group and then she messaged.

'Purvi pyaar se baat kar nahi rahi hai, ab use gussa dilate hai..' Tarika said. Those who read her message replied, 'ok'.
