Kuch Ankahi

(1)

Wearing a pastel pink shirt , she climbed up the stairs , adjusting the 'Lunavla project ' file in her hand . Pushing open the glass door , she entered his cabin .

"Par yeh galat hai Batman ! Aapki teacher aapko is tarah pressurise nahi karsaktin "

He looked clearly distressed about the incident .

Leaning his back on the table he stood speaking on the phone.

A frown formed on her face , what is he talking about .

"Mai Aaj hi aaunga aapke school aur aapki teacher aur principal se baat karunga "

Realsation dawned . He was talking to HER son . Aarav...

She had already tried explaining Monkey , trying to understand exactly what was he stressed about .

We all have had exams but this was so unusual ... The amount of pressure he is taking these days .

He was bawling yesterday, and she couldn't understand what had been the reason he was SO stressed .

Viaan asked him to forward his school name and hanged up . He decided to meet him in school today , take him along to the principals office and have a talk .

Hurried , he grabbed this coat and car keys from and walked towards the glass door when he felt a presence . He looked up and saw Katha standing . Her gaze was distance , immersed in deep thought .

"Katha"

No response

" Kathaa , kya hua ? " He spoke a little louder .

"Huhh?" Suprised .

The next moment her eyes widened and she looked panicked as He raised a brow in question.

" I am sorry Katha, mujhe aik bohot urgent aur zaruri kaam hai , I'll be back in sometime ... " He was restless

She gulped .

" Hmm, kya hua ? "

She asked softly . She could barely speak . Aarav had shared his feelings with Viaan and not with her .

She remembered how Aarav said Viaan has already helped him everytime and now He was his best friend . Where has she gone wrong in her parenthood ? What is that she couldn't give her monkey enough for him to share his feelings without hesitation . And what might have bothered him to be in the state he is right now.

" Uhh wo Batman hai na , uska koi issue hai toh woi ... Don't worry mai aake bas yeh check karta hun "

" Par , Mr Raghuwanshi huaa kya?"

" Yaar , Katha " He looked guilty

" This is not about me , it's about Batman , uske school ka kuch issue ... Aur usne mere saath share Kia hai ... Mai aapko chahun toh bata sakta lekin i don't know.... "

" But Mr Raghuwanshi , problem kya hai ? I want to know ... Aur agar Batman ka issue hai na toh aap kyu jaayenge uske school ,uski toh aik parent hain na . Aap kya bolenge unhe jaake ...yeh aapka kaam thori hai . Aap uske father thori hain ! "

Tears glistening in her eyes , she spoke without thinking . She needed to know what is the problem . She would go for Aarav it's her child

" Are toh kya hua mai uska father nahi hun toh . Batman ke father nahi hai iska matlab yeh thori hai ke teacherd usko aise pressurise karenge "

He looked irritated. He was ready to any battle for his Batman.

" Katha aat(8) saal ka baccha hai wo , ache marks nahi honge toh acha career banega aur success nahi milega , yeh koi tareeqa hai bacchon ko samjhaane ka .
Aise nahi hota hai . Plus woh aise baaki bacchon ke saamne bacchon ko utha kar embarass karna is not acceptable. Wo akela nahi hai Mai hun uske saath "

She was shaken. It was hard to think that her little monkey who was strong enough to fight blood cancer with a smile on his face , who has given Her , the strength and willpower to go through shakles of life all these years .

And now these pressures have shaken him. There must be parents who liked their kids in serious pressure. But she wasn't one of them. She wanted him to enjoy life . Go through school life in balance , enjoyment and lea

Viaan hurried , he was getting late . He turned around instantly to see Katha holding his elbow and stopping him. Frowning he looked at her.

Something was unusual about her today . But he did not have time.

" Mr Raghuwanshi mai chalungi aaaoke saath "

" Par Katha , yahan kaam hai aapko aur aap wahan ---"

" Maine kaha na mai jaungi "

" Arey par ----"

" Kyaa , mai kese nahi jaaun.. Aarav --?" She spoke impulsively

" Katha , Aarav nahi Batman ! Lekin aap kya karengi whaan jaake "

"Aapko yaad hai jab Aarav kho Gaya tha aur mai pareshan thi , phir aap chale they mere saath . Aaj meri baari "

" Par Katha "

" Ab dair nahi horahi aapko , chaliye hosakta hai koi madad hojaye merese"

How could he say no to her

And that too when she offered to be his side. He had been dissressed by the phone call earlier and his face sweating worrying about him . And this woman here offered to be the balm of his aching heart Again , like every other time. Despite being in the situation she is . How could he not fall for her againn

He smiled weakly and gestured her to head out.
