Adi is jogging in road of park City. Sun God has just spread his scarlet rays of dawn. Umpteen tensions roaming in Adi's brain. As like ---- "I'm a doctor above all, I should do whatever I can for saving patients. But now I'm trapped in hell where I should help a traumatic person and am not doing so. Because........ she accuses a innocent person whom I consider as the softest and most beautiful flower of holy garden. However I fell in dilemma from where neither I can stay nor run away......"
Suddenly his phone rang, a glimpse of smile occurred in his lips' corner seeing the name on screen.
"Good morning bhabi, kya baat hai, itni subah subah devar ko yad kiya ?"
"Nakhra band karo aur ye batao kitne baje tak duty hai tumhari aaj ?"
"Duty ko goli maaro bhabi aur batao kaam kya hai ? I'm always there for you"
"Badmaash! Aaj aa sakte ho lunch pe ?"
"Aap bulayenge to kahin bhi chala jayunga.... hehehe. But why you're sounding rude ? Did I make any mistake ?"
"Stop this drama. Aa jana time pe"
Abhi cuts the call keeping Adi in cloud nine. But soon his phone rang again. Now he sighed seeing the name.
"Yes Shalini"
"Where are you ?"
"Philhal jogging kar raha hu roadside pe"
"Can we have lunch together ?"
"Umm not today"
"Kal raat tumne bataya tha ki aaj sirf 6 hours ki shift hai, so lunch time tak to free ho jaoge naa ?"
"Yeah but...... Abhi ne already lunch pe bula liya hai, so sorry"__________________________
__________________________"Arey Adi tu phirse aa gaya ?" Mayank surprised in lunch table.
"Kya karta, bhabi ne jo bulaya" Adi winked, "lekin ab thikse baat bhi nahi kar raha hai, pata nahi itni jaldi inhe mood swings kaise hone laga iykyk"
Mayank silently started eating, Adi and Darshan were joking among themselves, they didn't notice Mayu's face. Abhi was serving food, Adi took everything he gave on his plate while Mayank ate just a little amount.
"Tum thikse kha kiu nahi rahe Mayu ?" Abhi asked.
"Am done, I have to join work. Tu bhi khana khatam karke aa jana Daru"
Darshan whinned like baby, "Nahi nahi Monkey please aaj jaane de.... mujhe Abhi se story sunna hai....."
Mayank left after giving him a ten seconds cold stare. Darshan devoured all the meal quickly chased by the eagerness, Adi's expression seems like eating 'amrit' made by his bhabi.
They two went to living room finishing the food, Abhi too came after cleaning the utensils.
"Toh, kya story sunanewale ho bhabi ?" Adi asked.
"Pehle bataiye aapki kya story chal rhi hai Shalini ke sath ?"
Adi became silent with Abhi's huffy tone, then stared at Darshan.
"Tune isko anab shanab kahani sunaya na Daru ke bachche ? (To Abhi) isiliye tum gusse me lag rahe the Abhi ? Arey relax, vaisa kuch bhi nahi hai"
"To kaisa kuch hai doctor sahab hume bhi bataiye...... haan agar apki personal mamla hai to...."
"Oh God! Aisa emotional attack mat karo yaar..... actually Shalini is in trauma, she loved Mayank a lot. I'm just trying to help her in recovery that's it"
"Lekin Daru bhai ne to bola tha ki..."
"Isss Daru ko to mein...." Adi lifted a cushion and hit on Daru's face.
"Arey Adi kya kar raha hai! Abhi ise mana karo please"
"STOP ADI!"
Devar quickly obeyed his bhabi, gestured at Daru like -- bach gaya tu!
"Ab baaki story suna do yaar, mujhse raha nahi jaata"
"Arey kaunsi story ye to bata mujhe Daru"
"Abhi aur Mayu ki love story!"
"Really ?"
"Han. Thodasa bataya tha kal, aaj pura sunenge"
"Ok ok...... I'm fucking excited..... sunaiye bhabi"
After some more restless convos Abhi started memorizing childhood again, from where he stopped yesterday.....Abhi's POV
Days were passing in its way, eagerness of seeing Mayank was increasing in me. Between this I had skipped school and playing for two days due to fever. Next day when I went to school my friends started leg pulling;
--"Arey Abhi, Mayank bhai ko bohot fikar ho rahi thi teri, khelne kiu nahi gaya do din se ?"
--"Tujhe atleast Mayank bhau ko inform kar dena chahiye tha ki tu nahi jayega..... pata hai wo kinna sochte hain tere liye iykyk"That afternoon we visited to see the town's final cricket match. Mayank was part of the team, I cheered him from boundary. A happy smile clearly shone on his face when he noticed me. After the match he suddenly pulled me in his embrace in front of everyone.
"Do din se aaya kiyu nahi ?"
"Bukhar tha"
"Ab thik hai na ?"
He started walking holding my shoulder when I gave a positive nod.One thing I have noticed, not only me, he also watches me whenever he can, and the unintentional eye contacts made me so ashamed especially when I have been caught and he smirks like south Indian heroes. One day after playing session we were resting in field. I sat beside him and continued talking mess. After sometime I noticed he's still looking at me.
"Kya dekh rahe ho ?" I waved a hand before him.
"Tujhe"
"Mujhe ? Kiu ? Pehle kabhi nahi dekha ?"
"Phir bhi dekh raha hun...acha lagta hai. Tu bhi to dekhta hai mujhe, nahi dekhta ?"
"Haan...matlab....kabhi kabhi"
No other words remained in me, he said again after another long stare;
"Tu mujhse pyaar karta hai na ?" He asked like a detective.
"Kyaaaaa!!!"
"Main bhi karta hun"
"Kya majak kar rahe ho bhai!"
"Shut up! Aajke baad tune mujhe bhai bola to!"
He grabbed my jaw not bearing with my silence, "weirdo mat ban, sach bata pyaar karta hai na mujhse ?"
"Kya bole jaa rahe ho aap, main ek ladka hun, aapse pyaar kaise karunga ?"
"Tu sachme buddhu hai. Tujhse bada buddhu wo hai jisne tujhe sikhaya ek ladka dusre ladke se pyaar nahi kar sakta! Are yaar, pyaar kabhi gender, religion, caste nahi dekhti. Humare desh me na sahi, foreign me hazaron same sex relationships dekhne ko milta hai. Chal jaane de, ye bata jab tu mujhe dekhta hai tere stomach me butterflies feel hota hai ki nahi ?"
I nodded. He said again, "mujhse eye contact ho jaata hai to tu blush karta hai ki nahi ? Is waqt tera heartbeat fast hai ki nahi ?"
Another nod. His grip became softer and a tender smile occurred.
"Mujhe bhi same hota hai.... aur yehi pyaar ka symptoms hai buddhu!"
I had no sense that I was serving blushy smile in his grip.
"Tu bohot cute hai Abhi.....tere buttery sa cuteness me phisal gaya hu main, uth nahi paunga...... has kiu raha hai ? Mere seene pe kaan rakh, yahan left side se...."
He pulled me on his chest.
"Arey...kya kar rahe ho ? Sab dekh rahen hain..."
"Bhaad me jaye sab.... tu dekh ekbaar"
He kept my head on his chest for a few seconds, it felt embarassing and quite peaceful at same time.
"Suna ? Kya sunai diya ?"
"Tu....tumhari heartbeat"
"Kya bol raha hai mera heartbeat ?"
"Heartbeat bo....bolta hai kya ?"
"Bolta hai.... mera heartbeat all time tera hi naam gaata hai.... sunai nahi diya tujhe apna naam ?"
"Hahaha...tum sachme pagal ho!"
"Hun na...tere liye"
That day I ran from him but he never left me. Don't know how many ways he applied to propose me. "Boyfriend banega ?", "shaadi karega ?", "Mummy ka bahu/damaad banega ?" and whatnot ?
But I couldn't deny when he threw his final arrow; "Dulhan banega ?"_____________________
