Bhaiji ka message??!
Abhinav looked at his phone in a bit of awkwardness..& then looked around..
All looked normal..
The home which was coated with dust & webs when they came back from udaipur is back to its beauty & order ..
Abhir's toys scattered her & there..
Aksharaji....no.. Akshara ......
in the kitchen listening to her lectures as usual multitasking...
But nothing was same either..
His home .. their home had an air of stifle..
All pahadi colours ...dulled giving a monotone vibe ...
Abhir ... always telling anyone who stops to listen about his Docman in awe ...
And Aksharaji....Akshara....
Her name is not even adapting to his tongue or psyche ....!!
Out side she is the old self..but he had seen the chink in her armour & she too has realised that her armour is not thick enough to prevent the memories past & recent past...
Now Bhaiji....
He looked at his phone again..
" Sharmaji..Aapse milna tha ..pehle Wale hotel mein ruka hoon.. mein intzaar karoonga "
Bhaiji ...
Kasauli mein..Abhinav began to perspire in restlessness...
Kya bhaiji ek aur baar Aksharaji ko wapas paane ki koshish kar raha hai..?
Unka pyaar ,Unka junoon...sab aankhon se dekhne ke baad tum apne apse sawal hi kyun kar rahe ho Abhinav ...
Zaroor uske liye hi aaya hoga...
Aur Jo aadmi woh hai , saamne se hi baat karta hai isliye mujse milna chahta hai..
Abhinav stood up shakily...walked to drink water upsetting the settings on the table..
"Abhinav...yeh kya kar....
Aap theek toh Hain...kya hua...itne pareshan kyun hai??"
After taking a generous gulp of cold water Abhinav turned to her composing himself but failing..
" Kuch nhi Aksharaji..woh loan payment ka notice nhi mil Raha tha..achanak khasi aagaya...Sorry Maine aapka arrangement disturb kardiya...
Aap padhiye..mein abhi baahar hoke aaya..."
Abhinav took his sweater from hanger & walked to the door..
" Laut the waqt Abhir ko bhi laana...school chutti hoga tab tak.."
Akshara told as he reached the door but to her he looked listless...she noticed with a frown..
Her presence & care was making it tough for him to decide...
but the decision was never in your hands..
A little voice in his head reminded him...
*******
Abhi looked out through the window...
The calm and mighty mountains lush with greenary made him exhale ....
The days that went past in the 2 weeks went through his mind ...
