SaiYa : Jaan Ban gaye

Chapter 13

Next morning....

Sai dropped Vinu and Savi to school and told the cab driver to go to Chavan Niwas.

The Chavans were having their breakfast when the doorbell rang.

Ninad - Itni subah subah kon ho sakta hai ?

Karishma - Mai dekhti hu.

She went and opened the door. Virat who was descending the stairs, stopped in his way as he saw Sai standing at the doorstep. Anger creeped in as he remembered the last evening. Sai came inside and stood in the middle of the living room. The whole family gathered there seeing her.

Ninad - Sai...tum itni subah yha... bacche to theek hai na ?

Sai - Bacche bilkul theek hain in fact, mai abhi unhe school drop karke hi aa rhi hu. Mujhe aap sabse kuch baat karni hai....

Virat - Kyu baat karni hai tumhe ? Kal jab mai tumse milkar baat karna chahta tha tab to tum boht busy thi.

Sai - Aur maine tumse ye bhi kaha tha ki agar baat urgent hai to phone par kar lo kyunki mere pass tumse milne ka time nhi tha.

Virat - Mujhse milne ka time nhi tha lekin Satya ke sath sadak ke kinare has has kar icecream khane ka time tha tumhare pass.

Sai's eyes went wide.

Virat - Aise kya dekh rhi ho ? Jhoot to nhi bol raha hu mai...

Sai - Hn tha mere pass Satya ke sath icecream khane ka time...kyunki...itne hectic day ke baad mera friend mujhe icecream khila kar relaxed feel karana chahta tha... aur... maine bhi uss samay duniya ki parwah na karte huye apni khushi ko importance diya. Khair ! Mai yha tumse behes karne nhi baat krne ayi hu vo bhi kaku se.

Bhawani - Mujhse ?

Sai - Hn aapse. Aap chahti hai na ki mai Vinu aur Savi yha aakar rhe... to meri ek shart hai... aapko ye aadha ghar khali karna pdega kyunki... kal se yha koi aur aakar rhega.

Bhawani - Ae Jungli mulgi... ye kya bakwas kar rhi hai tu ? Ye mera ghar hai. Mai ye adha ghar kyu khali kru ? Aur yha koi aur kyu rhega ?

Sai - Ye ghar sirf aapka hai ?

Bhawani - Hn ye ghar mera hai.. aur...

Sai - Aapne mere sawal par dhyan nhi diya. Kya ye pura ghar sirf aur sirf aapka hai ?

Bhawani understood Sai's question. Her mouth shut and eyes glaring at Sai.

Pakhi - Ye kya bakwas kar rhi ho tum. Hum sab jante hain ki ye ghar Kaku ka hai.

Sai - Agar aisa hai to tumhari kaku ke muh se jawab kyu nhi nikal raha Patralekha ? Kya hua Kaku ? Aapke chehre par 12 kyu baje hai ? Jawab dijiye.... Nhi hai na jawab. Khair ! Mai aap sabko batati hu. Jis ghar par Kaku itne saalon se raj karti aa rhi hai iss ghar ka sirf aadha hissa hi inke naam par hai. Baki ka adha hissa inki chhoti behen Ms. Ambabai Adhikari ke naam par hai.

A gasp escaped everyone's lips as Sai uttered those words whereas Bhawani looked deeply shocked.

Virat - Ye kya kahe ja rhi ho tum ? Kaku ki koi behen nhi hai...

Sai - Inki behen hai ya nhi hai...hai to kaha hai.. mai jo keh rhi hu vo sach hai ya jhoot ye sab tum apni Kaku se phoochna. Mai chalti hu. Bas itna bata du ki since maa ki property par bacche ka pura right hota hai to... kal se Kaku ki behen ka beta yani Inka bhanja... Yha aakar rhega. 24 ghante hain aapke pass... aadha ghar khali karne ke liye. Agr bina kisi problem ke aap log maan gye to mai Yha Vinu aur Savi ke sath rehne aaungi... varna... bacche yha rehne nhi ayenge aur sath hi sath aap logo ko Ms. Ambabai Adhikari ki taraf se ghar khali krne ka legal notice milega. Soch lijiye kaku... baat court tak jayegi... Chavan Pariwar ki badnami hogi aur to aur aapka political career bhi barbad ho jayega. Isliye better hoga ki aap meri baat mankar agle 24 ghante ke andar chup chap ye aadha ghar khali kar dein. Aur hn... batwara barabar ka hona chahiye. Like rooms ka equal batwara, living room and kitchen ka bhi batwara barabar hona chahiye. Chalti hu. Bye, have a nice day (sarcastically).

Saying this Sai marked her entry outside the Chavan Niwas without paying attention to Virat's constant questions.

Sai reached the hospital and was going towards her cabin when she saw Satya sitting in his cabin, reading some files, his face clearly lacking the charm and energy that he carried daily. Sai thought of a method to uplift the mood of her friend. She went to Sheetal.

Sai - Sheetal... Satya se jakar kaho ki ek patient aya hai. Jao...are jao dekh kya rhi ho.

Sheetal knocked on Satya's cabin door.

Sheetal - Doctor, ek patient aya hai.

Satya without looking at her answered in a slow voice.

Satya - Hmm...andar bhej do.

Sai (whispered to Sheetal) - Ab tum jao yha se... Jao !

Sai knocked on Satya's cabin door.

Sai - Mai andar aa sakti hu doctor ?

Satya recognised her voice and looked at her.

Satya - Sai ? Patient tum ho ? Kya hua phirse moch mar li kya pair mein ?

Sai without answering him turned around and closed the door from inside.
