Ek Dil Ek Jaan

Maafi

Flashback continues......

"Hum Anubhav se ek baar milke aate hai"Haseena said moving down stairs.

Haseena was finding Anubhav but couldn't, hearing some noises from the kitchen, so she moves towards the kitchen.Their she finds Anubhav doing something.
She walked towards him, nervously, she too didn't knew the reason, but her heart was beating rapidly. She could see his broad back, his biceps and forearm muscles flexing with every movement of his hand. She was gaping at him intently, walking slowly towards him, she couldn't notice the water on the floor, and her foot slipped due to it, she held onto Anubhav for support.

Anubhav's pov.

I was making tea for myself, when the water fell on the floor, I thought to clean it later, when after a while, I felt someone's presence behind me, I turned around to see Haseena, gaping at me, I gulped at her desirous gaze, and thought of breaking her trance, when her leg slipped due to, the water on the floor, I quickly held her waist in order to protect her, from falling, while, she had closed her eyes tightly ready to embrace the ground, her one hand holding my arm tightly, and other wrapped around my neck.

She opened her eyes, to see Anubhav standing, very close to her, almost hugging her, protecting her from falling, they were lost in each other's eyes.
Eyes speak much more than words, and they could feel their hearts talking to each other.

Haseena just couldn't control her emotions and " I Love You Anubhav " Was the only sentence which came out of her mouth in trance, lost in his eyes. But her sentence brought Anubhav out of his trance. He made her stand properly and stepped back. This made Haseena's eyes a little bit teary.

"Ahmmm... Dekhiye Haseena ji..."  "Anubhav hum jaante hai, aapko yeh bohot ajeeb lag raha hoga, lekin yahi hai jo hai, kal hum sab yaha se chale jayenge, isliye aur nahi ruk sakte the hum, jaante hai ki ab aapko hum pe bharosa  nahi hai, lekin hume aap par hai, ho gaya hai aap pe yakeen sach jaane ke baad. Yeh jaan ne ke baad ki jis par hum sabse zyada yakeen karke, humare pyaar aur parivaar ko gaddar maan liya, ussi ki badaulat aaj itna kuch ho raha hai. Isliye aapka jo bhi jabaab hoga,hume sweekar hoga". Haseena said, her voice being teary.

"Hum yaha aapse har cheez ke liye maafi maangne aaye hai, jaante hai aapko bohot chot pohochi hai, humare aur KS ki vajah se, hume uss behroopiye ko aap samajh kar maarna nahi chahiye tha, hum... humne apne hi jazbaat ke siddhanto ko andekha kar diya, hume app par vishwas karna chahiye tha sagai ke time, par nahi kiya, ek baar bhi aapko dhundne ki koshish nahi ki.... I am so sorry Anubhav, ho sake toh hume maaf kar dijiyega" Haseena said, holding Anubhav's hand tightly.

" Aapko iss baat ka pachtava hai, humare liye yeh hi kaafi hai, ha hum jaante hai kuch galtiya humne bhi ki hai, sagai chod ke jane ki jagah aapko sach bata dete toh shayad itna kuch nahi hota, aur aapka hum par thoda adhik vishvaas hota. Hum yeh toh nahi jaante ki humara bhavishya kya hoga, lekin ha humne aapko kshama kar diya hai. Aur aasha karte hai ki aap bhi hume maaf kar dengi. " Anubhav said looking into her eyes.

"Anubhav, hum apne iss rishte ko ek mauka dena chahte hai, kya aap humara saath denge" Haseena questioned hopefully.

"Haseenaji dekhiye, bura mat maaniye lekin aap kisi aur ko dhundh lijiye, jo humse behtar ho, jo aapki khushiyon ka dhyaan rakhe, jo aapko har musibat se bachaye, na ki humari tarah musibat mein daal de, jo aapko apna samay de sake. Hum... Hum nahi hai aapke yogya, aap....."Anubhav said,remembering Karishma's allegations against him.

"Accha theek hai, aapke kehne par dhund ne ki koshish zaroor kar lenge, lekin anjaam abhi se bata sakte hai, ki hum apni puri zindagi bhi laga de na aap jaise ko dhundhne mein toh bhi koi nahi milega, jo itna kuch hone ke baad bhi humse iss kadar pyaar karta ho" Haseena cuts him in between, and declares her decision smilingly.

" Thank you hume maaf karne ke liye, hume ab chalna chahiye" Haseena said seeing him hesitating about her proposal.
She knew he need some more time to heal.

Flashback ends....

In Kritika's room... (Present time)

" Maam, please ek last help kar dijiye, hum jaante hai, aap hum pe bharosa nahi kar pa rahi hongi, lekin please. I promise iss baar hum Anubhav ke saare ghaav bhar denge, hume samaj aa gaya hai, nahi reh payenge unke bina, galti sudharne ka ek aakhri mauka de dijiye. Please" Haseena said folding her hands in front of  Kritika.

"Okay, theek hai, ek aakhri mauka dete hai hum, iss baar Anubhav ko zara si bhi chot pohochi na Haseena Mallik, toh ek baat jaan lijiyega, ki mera gussa, Karishma Singh ke gusse se bohot zyada hai. Iss baar mere best friend ko kuch bhi nahi hona chahiye" Kritika said warning Haseena, yet her voice was soft and emotional at the last sentence.

"Mein Commissioner sir ko bata deti hu ki unhe kya karna hai" Kritika said dialing a number in her cell phone.

"Lekin kya commissioner sir maanenge" Haseena questioned, tension visible on her face.

"Aapke commissioner sir, bohot acche se jaante hai, hume bhi aur Anubhav ko bhi, voh humari baat nahi taalenge" Kritika said.

At terrace...

"Ek baat batao Anubhav, tumne unhe ek baari mein hi maaf kar diya Anubhav,... " Vikrant was asking him,trying to understand what was going on his mind.

"Kyunki hum nahi chaahte ki voh yaha se jaane ke baad bhi guilt mein rahe, aur apni zindagi mein aage badh sake, jaante hai mushkil hoga unke liye bhi, lekin theek hi hai. " Anubhav said calmly, but Vikrant could assume his pain and saddness.

" Chal chod yeh sab baate, jo hoga accha hoga, bas upar wale pe bharosa rakh" Vikrant said trying to divert his mind.

"Hmm" He replied.

"Haww tum log mere bina kya baate kiye ja rahe ho, aur Anu tum, naya dost mila toh apne best friend ko bhool jaoge" Kritika said dramatically.

"Meri pyaari jwalamukhi, mera matlab hai, patni ji, aap shayad bhool rahi hai ki aapke best friend humare dost bhi hai voh bhi kayiii varsho se" Vikrant said with a sugary smile.

"Ha ha theek hai theek hai, jyada udo mat ab, aur baby le deke aana toh mere hi kamre mein hai, aao phir batati hu. " Kritika said twiching her lips at Vikrant. And their banter continued for a long time.

"Aree bass, kitna ladte ho dono, bhojan ka samay ho gaya hai, chaliye" Anubhav said trying to stop their banter.

"Aree haan, mein yehi toh batane aayi thi ki khana ban gaya hai, iss Vikrant ki vajah se bhool gayi.. Huuhhh... Chalo jaldi, sab aa gaye honge" Kritika said and moved down towards hall. Both Anubhav and Vikrant kept looking at her figure.

"Bhai, iss sansaar mein ek mahila ko koi nahi samajh pata hai, tum ya hum kaha hi samjhenge, chodo" Anubhav said to Vikrant and they both moved down.
