A Love So Pure

Part 8

Ahaan was driving towards the hospital..
A: mai aa raha hu Ishqi.. bas tum ek baar theek ho jaogi na toh mai tumhe apni dil ki baat bol dunga.. wo bol dunga jo tum kab se sun na chahti thi.. ab mai tumhe khud se kabhi bhi dur nahi jaane dunga.. I promise..
Soon he reached the hospital.. he parks the car & enters..
A: Jay.. Ishqi kaisi hai ab..? blood mil gayi..? doctor ne kya kaha..?
J: Ahaan.. relax.. blood mil gayi aur Ishqi bhi theek hai ab.. bas use abhi hosh nahi aaya hai..
A: toh.. kab..? use hosh kab aayega..?
J: Ishqi theek hai Ahaan.. tu aise ghabraa mat.. use hosh aane mein thoda time toh lagega na.. thoda sa patience rakh le..
A: mujhe us se milna hai.. mujhe meri Ishqi ko dekhna hai..
J: ha.. ha.. mil le.. lekin use ward mein shift karne ke baad.. abhi doctor use check kar rahe hai na..
Ahaan nods.. he was still restless.. he wanted to see her.. he wanted to be with her

He looks at her through the glass door while doctor was checking upon her..
A: mai yahi hu Ishqi.. yahi hu.. bas jaldi se theek ho jao.. tumhe theek hona hi hai.. mere khatir.. humaare pyaar ke khatir..
Few mins later she was shifted to the ward.. & Ahaan enters.. he sits next to her & takes her hand in his kissing it..
A: ab uth bhi jao.. naraaz ho mujhse toh daanto na mujhe.. chillao mujh par.. but plz ab uth jao na Ishqi.. boht kar liya maine intezaar
He just rests his head on the bed holding her hand.. waiting for her to wake up but soon falls asleep..

Few hours later she slowly opens her eyes & sees Ahaan sleeping while holding her hand.. she smiles & tries to get up.. now he too wakes up with her movement.. he quickly gets up & holds her..
A: Ishqi.. (helps her sit) tum.. tum theek ho..? ek.. ek min.. mai doctor to bulaata hu..
He was about to move out but she holds his hand..
I: mai theek hu.. doctor ko bulaane ki zaroorat nahi hai..
A: aise kaise zaroorat nahi hai.. mai unhe bulaa raha hu.. ek baar wo confirm kar de ki tum theek ho toh I’ll be satisfied..
I: aapko meri baaton pe bharosa nahi hai..?
A: aisa nahi hai.. I trust you.. agar tum keh rahi ho ki tum theek ho toh theek hi hogi na tum.. par phir bhi.. mere dil ki tasalli ke liye ek baar doctor ko bulaa lete hai na.. aur waise bhi unhone kaha tha ki jab tumhe hosh aaye toh unhe informa karna hai..
She nods.. he calls the doctor & the doctor checks her..
Dr: filhaal toh sab theek hai except that she’s still a bit weak.. mai kuch medicines prescribe kar raha hu.. unhe time pe de dijiyega.. aur bandage ko roz change karna hai.. till the wound heals completely..
A: ji.. aur.. discharge.. wo kab milega..?
Dr: aaj ek din hum inhe under observation ke liye rakhenge.. aur kal kuch tests karne ke baad sab theek raha toh kal hi discharge karenge.. plz do take care of her..

Ahaan nods & Dr leaves..
A: Ishqi.. mai bas bahi aaya.. ye medicines leke aata hu..
She nods & he moves out.. he spots Jay there..
A: Jay.. achha hua tu yaha hai ye kuch medicines hai.. le aayega plz..? Ishqi ko aise akele chodke jaane ka mann nahi kar raha..
J: neki aur puch puch..? isliye toh mai yaha pe ruka hua hu..
A(nods): achha sunn.. ye Siya ke baare mein pata kar na.. kaha hai wo..? ab discharge ke baad wahi hai jo Ishqi ka khayaal rakh sakti hai..
J: arre.. ha iske baare mein tujhe bataana bhul hi gaya tha.. wo Siya kuch dino ke liye kisi kaam se bahar gayi hai.. so uska phone bhi not reachable aa raha hai.. ek kaam kar na.. tu Ishqi ke ghar mein shift ho jaa.. khud uska khayaal rakh le.. aur aise hi apne dil ki baat bhi bol liyo..
Ahaan was blushing at this..
J: oye hoye.. dekho toh kon blush kar raha hai..?
A: shut up yaar.. aise kaise bol du..?
J: yeah u’re ryt.. special baat hai.. toh mauke ko bhi special banaana hai.. ek baar Ishqi puri tarah se theek ho jaaye.. use ek achhi si date pe le jaana.. arrangements tu mujhpe chod de.. mai karwaa dunga.. tu bhadiya tareeke se use propose kar de.. khush ho jaayegi wo bhi..
A: ho gaya tera..? ab jaa na.. ye medicines le aa.. jaldi..
J: ha ha.. jaa raha hu.. par maine jo kaha ek baar soch liyo uske baare mein..

He goes & Ahaan gets back to Ishqi.. he makes her lie down telling her to rest.. The next day Ishqi was discharged & Ahaan takes her home.
I: Ahaan sir... mai theek hu.. mujhe neeche utaariye.. mai chal sakti hu..
She says while Ahaan was carrying her & entering the house..
A: tum na zyaada bolti ho.. ab thodi der ke liye chup raho.. ab mai tumhari seva kar raha hu toh use khushi khushi enjoy karo na..  aise har kisi ki seva nahi karta.. aur jiski karta hu wo boht lucky hote hai..
He places her on the bed.. & she just looks at him smiling..
I(thinks): aap bhi mujhse pyaar karne lage ho na Ahaan sir , mujhe pata tha.. bas us din ka intezaar hai jab aap mujhse apni dil ki baat kahenge.. apne pyaar ka izhaar karenge mai wait karungi Ahaan sir.. aapke muh se wo 3 shabd sun ne ke liye agar puri zindagi wait karna pade toh bhi karungi..

She comes out of her thoughts on hearing him..
A: Ishqi.. kab se bulaa raha hu.. kaha kho gayi thi..?
I: nahi.. kuch nahi..
A: mai tumhare liye soup leke aa raha hu.. tumhe peena hai
I: wo vegetable soup..? Binaa swaad waala..? nahi na.. hospital mein wo kitni baar piya hai.. wo nahi chahiye kuch aur leke aayiue na..
A: filhaal is soup se healthy aur kuch nahi hai.. aur tumhare nakhre jhelne aate hai mujhe.. so no more drama.. mai soup leke aa raha hu aur tum pi rahi ho..
She pouts & he moves out.. few mins later he brings soup for her & she makes faces..

A: thoda sa hi laaya hu.. see (shows her the bowl) ise pi lo.. plz.. mere liye..  phir tumhara bandage bhi change kar dunga aur uske baad tumhe jo karna hai kar lena..
I(happy): jo chahe kar sakti hu..?
A: jo chahe matlab.. yaha rehke.. yaha se hilogi nahi tum.. samjhi..? Atleast not until you are completely fine.. ab drama band karo aur ye soup piyo.. come on.. warna thanda ho jaayega..
He takes a spoonful near her mouth.. while she looks at him..
A: muh kholo..
She again makes faces..
A: jaise muh banaa rahi ho na itna bhi buraa nahi hai.. I mean achha banaa hai ye..
I: aapko kaise pata..?
A: kyunki ye tumhara wo hospital waala soup nahi hai.. ye maine banaaya hai.. tumhare liye.. ek baar taste toh kar lo..

She was surprised to hear that he made it for her.. she opens her mouth & he feeds her.. she smiles as the soup tasted really good.. he knew she liked it & continued to feed her.. Once done he wipes her mouth with a napkin & was about to get up but she leans & pecks his cheek..
I: soup boht tasty tha.. thank you..
He was blushing but tried to hide it..
A: mai.. ye rakhke aata hu..
He quikly moves out..

Ahaan's pov:
stop blushing Ahaan.. aise toh wo ek jhatke mein jaan jaayegi.. nahi nahi.. don’t make it so obvious now.. Jay was ryt.. baat special hai toh mauka bhi special hona chahiye.. zyada intezaar nahi karwaunga tumhe Ishqi.. bas tum jaldi se theek ho jao..

He keeps the empty bowl in the kitchen & comes back to the room with 1st aid box.. he sits on the bed & slowly holds her injured arm..
A: tell me if it hurts.. hmm..?
She nods while he removes the bandage..he gently cleans the wound & applies the  ointment..  she hisses a little as it pains..
A: bas.. (blows gently over the area) bas.. ho gaya..
He then wraps a fresh bandage on the wound..
A: ab tum araam kar lo..
He slowly makes her lie down & when he moves to take the duvet she holds his hand..
I: I love you..
A(sighs): so jao Ishqi.. aur kisi bhi cheez ki zaroorat ho toh bol dena.. mai yahi hu..
She felt a bit sad & leaves his hand.. She just nods yes..
I(thinks): inhone koi jawaab kyu nahi diya..? Par har baar ki tarah ye toh nahi bola ki mujhse pyaar nahi karte.. toh kya matlab samjhu unki khamoshi ka..? kya mai koi ummeed rakh sakti hu..?

A(thinks):I’m sorry Ishqi tumhare I love u ka jawaab nahi diya maine.. ik tum ise leke udaas ho but I promise.. jaldi tumhe wo saari.. saari khushiyan dunga jo tum deserve karti ho.. tumhe wo pyaar dunga jiske liye tum ab tak taras rahi ho.. aur mai ye daave ke saath keh sakta hu Ishqi.. ki jitna pyaar mai tumse karta hu na.. utna na kabhi kisi ne tumse ki hogi aur na kabhi kar paayega.. bas thoda sa intezaar kar lo..
He sits next to her & in a few mins she falls asleep.. he covers her with the duvet & leans over her kissing her forehead.

Few days pass on like this & by now Ishqi had also recovered.. she used to go to his house at times & they spent time together & seeing the way Ahaan cared for her she thought he too was in love with her.. one day when she was on the way to his house she sees him going in the opposite direction..
I(to herself): ye Ahaan sir waha kaha jaa rahe hai..?
She now slowly goes behind him and she saw him entering a graveyard. She followed him and stood behind a tree and saw him placing some flowers on a grave.
A(to the grave): You know Deepali 2 saal ho chuke hai tumhe gaye hue...tumhare jaane ke baad sab kuch badal gaya...tum thi toh sab kuch tha...you were very special for me...you were my love and its not easy to forget you...

Ishqi listened these words and she felt a pinch in her heart. She couldn't listen more, so she moved out of graveyard.
Ishqi's povs:
Ahaan sir aaj bhi Deepali se pyaar karte hai.. aur shayad sahi bhi hai.. pehla pyaar pehla hi hota hai.. I think itne din se vo meri care apne guilt ki vaja se kar rahe the. Mai hi unke peeche padi hui hu.. unke raaste mein rukaawat banke.. nahi Ishqi.. tu ab unke liye koi problem create nhi kar sakti.. aur isliye tujhe yaha se jaana hoga.. boht dur, vaise bhi tuje Bangalore ke hospital ka offer aaya hai... ha yahi sahi hai.. ye sheher chodke chali jaa.. Ahaan sir ko unki zindagi jeene ka haq hai.

Thinking this, she went her home.
