Shantanu knew that after today everything will be changed forever. His family was now broken completely. He can never be the same Shantanu. His own brother molested his love of life.
As soon as he pressed the calling bell, he knew he had to fight. Anvi opened the door.
— Anvi, AkkaSaheb kaisi hai?
— Ro ro ke bura haal hai. Aai or baba hai unke paas.
Shantanu went to her room. As soon as she saw him, she stood up. She came near him and said,
— Abb kyu aaya hai? Ja na teri Isha ke paas. Ja, tujhe to apne dada se zyada pyaar uspe hai.
— AkkaSaheb, calm down. Aap ek aurat hai, aap ushe nahi samjhengi to kon samjhega?
— Are, puri duniya ko mein kyu samjhu? Mein apne pati ko samajhti hu. Or mera pati aisa kabhi nahi kar sakta. Ush aurat ne tujhpe kaaljadu kiya hai!
— Stop it Akka Saheb... Isha ke baare mein me ek baat nahi sunnewala hu... Woh bichari khud suffer kar rahi hai... Or aap...
— Tujhe uski fikr kyu hai! Dost hi to hai. Tu apne dada ko chodhke ush aurat ko...
— Isha, Ush aurat ka naam Isha hai. And woh koi aam nahi hai. Woh meri ek lauti pyaar haiii!
This one sentence from Shantanu made Akka Saheb silent. Everyone understood this when Atul said, "Vahini". Only Akka Saheb was not concious. She now yelled,
— Tu kya chahata hai Shantanu! Tu apne dada ki zindagi barbaad karne pe kyu tula hai! Shantanu, woh iss ghar ki bahu nahi banegi!
— Akka Saheb mein Durva yeah Anvi nahi hu jo aapke hisaab se shaadi kare. Mujhe pata hai kon mere liye sahi hai. Isha ke alawah mein kisise shaadi nahi karunga. Meri biwi Isha hi banegi. Thats final.
As soon as Shantanu was leaving the room, Akka Saheb said,
— Mein ush aurat ko iss ghar ki bahu banne nahi dungi.
Shantanu replied without facing Akka Saheb,
— To phir mein bhi yeah paarivar chodh dunga.
Shantanu went to his room and locked the door.
*********************************
Isha called Shantanu.
— Hello!
— Kaise hai gharwale? Akka Saheb kaisi hai?
— Tum unke baare mein kyu sochti ho? Woh to tumhe kya kya bol rahi hai.
— Woh to bolegi hi. Unko kitna shock laga hai socho. This is what she should do... Aisa to hoga hi.
— Tum itni acchi kyu ho?
— Shantanu, tumhara voice low kyu sound kar raha hai?
— Low nahi, baas thoda pareshan hu.
— Kya hua hai?
— Kuch nahi. Woh Anvi ki college ki kuch matters... Chodo, tum bolo kaisi ho? Khana khaya?
— Tum topic badal rahe ho. Gjar mein jhagra kiya?
Shantanu remained silent. He just wanted to hug Isha tightly. All the things were pressurizing him so much.
— Isha, mein aayu tumhare paas?
— Kya hua Shantanu? Itni raat ko...
— Plzzz...
Shantanu pleaded... Isha said,
— Aayo...
Shantanu hanged up the call...
********************
Isha was waiting... As soon as the bell rang she opened the door. Its Shantanu. Shantanu without wasting moment hugged her tightly at that very place... Isha understood that today its her time to calm Shantanu down. They stood like that for minutes. Then Isha locked the door and made Shantanu sit on the bed. It was 12 O'clock.
— Kuch khaya?
— Mauka nahi mila.
Isha was about to go when Shantanu held her hands. Isha stared at him.
— Mujhe khana nahi tum chahiye!
Isha understood... She said,
— But khana zaruri hai. Warna itna ladai ladoge kaise!
Isha went and came back with food. She fed Shantanu and then came and sat beside him. She held his hands and said,
— Kya hua bolo.
Shantanu said everything. Isha silently listened everything and then said,
— Tum mere liye or matt jhagro plz...
— Tumhare alawah kiske liye jhagru?
— Kisike liye nahi. Akka Saheb abhi aisa hi karengi, unke pati ka itna baara sach samne aaya hai. Unko thoda to time lagega saab samajhne mein.
Shantanu cuped Isha's face. He said,
— Isha, mujhe kisi bhi cheez se problem nahi hai. Mujhe darr hai ki mein tumhe na kho du!
— Kabhi nahi hoga aisa. Mein tumhare liye hamesha rahungi. Haar waqt. Plzz, itna matt socho.
The two hugged. After that Isha kissed on Shantanu's forehead. She said,
— Itna matt socho. So jao. Mein dusrr room mein hu. Problem ho to bula lena... Good Night...
The two slept peacefully that night.
