Not Your Fairytale

4.Talks of misery

Sana and Sanjana are packing bags in their rooms.They are leaving today.Mriganka is continuously running from one room to other helping her daughter in laws she loves them so much.Her eyes are filled with tears after seeing Sana's condition.What Digvijay did was normal for the Rathore men to do with their wife's but she knows the pain of her daughter in laws.She had met the same fate throughout her life.
Mriganka:Sana Sanjana beta mere paas baitho
Sana:Haa mumma
She calls Sanjana too.
Sanjana keeps her head on Mriganka's lap.
Mriganka:Mera bacha (she says and gently pats Sanjana's head) tum dono ko pata hai na beta Mai tum dono ka dukh nhi dekh sakti mujhe maaf kar do beta.Mere dono bete jaanwar hain Mai chahti thi meri bahu jab aayein tab wo khush rhe aur mere bete unko rani ki tarah rakhein lekin mujhe pata hai jaise Vijay ji apni maa aur behen ki baat ko sabse upar rakhte hain vaise hi mere bete bhi un dono ki baato ko hi mante hain.Kabhie kabhie sochti hu ki kash zabardasti karke kisi tarah apne bacho ko apne sath le ja paati unhe achi parvarish de paati lekin nhi mere bete hi mujhse cheen liye gye.Tujhe agar kabhie mauka mile iss Ghar se bhag jaana kahi door apni zindagi basaa lena vapas mud kar bhi mat dekhna.
Tears fall from Sanjana's eyes and Sana sits emotionless.She keeps her head on Mriganka's shoulder.
Sanjana:Mumma you are the best you know that right and I know I ll never be able to run from my family.He ll catch me even if I hide in hell.He ll come there also mumma.He gets satisfied seeing me in pain but he also gives equal amount of pain to himself.What is wrong with him.
Sana:Adi does the same. Today I saw he had belt marks on his back.Why do these men hurt us and then hurt themselves for hurting us.I don't get it. What's the logic?
Mriganka:It's Rathore's logic.They have found an alternative to their guilt.They think if they punish their wives and hurt them then they should hurt themselves as well.(she chuckles)All are manufactured from the same factory.Vijay once locked me in a dark room for many days and he gave me food only once a day.He was punishing me for talking to my brother.He thought I was giving all the information to my brother but this was not true.I was half dead almost he brought me to our bedroom after five days and took me to Delhi.When we reached our house he took care of me like I was a doll who will break.Hanth bhi nahi uthaane dete the mujhe baad me Pran bhaiya(Vijay's elder brother who is now dead)ne bataya ki Vijay ne bhi utne din sirf ek hi time khana khaya tha aur din bhar mujhe cctv par dekhte rehte the.Samjh nahi aata ye pyar hai ya pagalpan naa jeene dete hain na Marne dete hain.Kab tak khandani dushmani ko apne dimag par haavi hone denge iss Ghar ke mard ek baar apne Dil ki nahi sun sakte.Dil toh jaise patthar ho gya ho.
Sanjana:Maa aapki baat sunti hu toh Aisa lagta hai aapki hi zindagi jee rahi hu main bass aapke pati ne aapko 11saalo ke liye iss Ghar se door rakha aur Mera pati mujhe apne sath kaid rakhta hai.Bhag nahi paungi mai mumma kabhie unse aur ab bhagna bhi nahi chahti aadat ho gayi hai mujhe unki mujhe pyar nahi hona chahiye unse par abhi bhi main unse utna hi pyaar karti hu.Par main ache se janti hu iss khandani dushmani ne iss kadar tak iss Ghar ke mardo ko jakda hua hai ki uske aage unki biwiyo ka pyar bhi Kam pad jata hai aur vaise bhi unhe sab kuch yaad dilane ke liye iss ghar me do auratein mojood hain un dono ke bina toh iss ghar se ek patta bhi nahi hilta.
Sana aise kyu baithi hai gumsum chinta mat kar Baal lambe ho jayenge phir se.
Sana:Baalo ki kise fikr hai.Main toh khush hu iss ghar se ja rahi hu jab Mera pati mere paas rehta hai toh mujhe bhale hi maar deta hai saza bhi deta hai par Mera khyal bhi rakhta hai.Soch badal gyi hai bhabhi meri pehle Jo strong independent girl thi wo nhi hu ab par Jo haalat hain uske hisab se dhal gyi hu.In haalato me yahi sahi lgta hai.Kehna nhi chahiye par main chahti hu Dil se jis tarah mere papa ko maaraa na usi tarah dadi ko bhi marna chahiye.Mere papa ne bahut galat kiya par dadi ne bhi Kam khel nhi khele hain.

They hear footsteps coming so they stop talking.Digvijay comes inside and touches his mother's feet.
DVJ:Maa tabiyat kaisi hai?
Mriganka: Sana se zyada better hai
Digvijay shooks his head.Mriganka stands up and slaps him.
Digvijay keeps his eyes lowered he doesn't looks in his mother's eyes.
Mriganka:Tere upar koi farq nhi padta Adi tujhe chahe thappad maru ya tere aage hanth jodu tu apni dadi aur bua ke isharo par hi chalega tujhe un dono aurato ki neechta nhi dikhti.
DVJ:Maa meri dadi aur bua ko kuch bhi mat boliye aapko jo bolna hai mujhe boliye.Jaise aap meri maa hain vaise hi wo dono hain.
Mriganka:Tujhe pata hai maa ne jaanbujh kar khane me namak milaya hoga aur Shrinkhala ka kya hai uss aurat ka paer apne ghar me tikta nahi hai apne ghar kyu nahi rehti hai.Apna ghar todkar mera ghar todne aayi hai.Mere beto ko bhi mujhse cheen liya unhone tujhe bada kiya hai maana lekin main teri maa hu kabhie meri baat par bhi toh bharosa kar.Tu mujhe bass naam ke liye maa bulaata haii tujhe ab main ek footi aankh bhi nahi suhati hu ye bhi dikhta hai mujhe.
DVJ:Maa bass kariye pehli baat ye bua ka bhi ghar hai jitna aapka hai bua meri maa hain unhone hi mujhe bada kiya hai aapki tarah wo mujhe chor kar nahi chali gayi thi.Unhone aur dadi ne mujhe bada kiya hai agar baat iss ghar me rehne ke haq ki hai toh aapse zyada haq unka hai iss ghar par jab aap Sameer aur Aarya ko le kar Mumbai chali gayi thi maa tab aapne apne do bacho ko iss ghar me chor diya tha aapse zyada wo mere baare me janti hain.Sorry agar zyada bol diya ho toh par please kabhie un dono ke khilaf mujhe bhadkaane ki koshish mat kiya kariye aur mai aapse jhooth kyu bolu par mujhe nahi pasand ki aap meri biwi se baat karein mai nahi chahta aapki tarah wo bhi mujhe chor kar chali jayein.He hugs his mother and says in her ears which is inaudible to Sana and Sanjana.He says Mai apni biwi ke bina nahi jee paunga maa.Maine papa ko aapke bina jeete hue dekha hai vaise nahi jee paunga mai janta hu.Maine use maara hai par mai usse itna pyaar karta hu ki agar poori duniya se ladna padega toh lad lunga.
He says this and then grabs Sana's hand and takes her with him.
Sana sees her mother in law with a pitiful and apologetic look.Mriganka's ears were echoing with his son's words.She felt a sharp pain in her heart.
