In the Memory of Kaya

3

In car :

Armaan : Maa aaj na kuch meetha chahiye dinner me.

Anita : Ha ha theek hai. Pehle ghar pe pohochne de phir banati hu kuch toh.

Kabir : (while driving only) Maa aap abhi ghar pe jaake phir kuch banaogi.. kitna late hua hai already, thakti nahi ho kya aap? Ek kaam karte hai, hum dinner hi kahi se toh order karte hai along with sweet dish.

Anita : Arey but mai bana deti hu na order kiya hua khana pata nahi kaisa ayega.. and tumlog bahar ke khaney pe kaise toot padte ho yeh mai jaanti hu ache tarike se. Jyada khaoge aur phir bimar pad jaoge.

Kabir : Maa aapko na aaram karna chahiye thoda.. hum bhi jaante hai ki pichhle kuch dinonse aap kitni tension me thi. And abhi aap hum sab ka khyal rakhne me pura time dengi toh khud ka khyal kab rakhengi aap?? Mai kuch nahi jaanta, aap please ghar jaaney ke baad rest kr lijiye. And agar aap aise hi apni health ko ignore karogi na toh hamari shaadi ki tayyari kaun karega ek hi toh maa hai hum dono ke beech me😂.

Anita : Achha baba theek hai.. karo tum logonko jo karna hai wo. But jyaada oily khana mat mangaana.

Armaan : Thank you maa😘. Jiju mai dekhta hu kya order kr sakte hai.

Kabir : ha..

Ananya was just listening their conversation very carefully, especially that of Kabir and Anitas. She knew how much Kabir used to miss his own mother. She is happy that her mother too has accepted Kabir again and started loving him as she loves her. Her thoughts were soon broken by Armaans voice.

Armaan : Di, Jiju sweet me kya order karu?

Kabir/Ananya : umm Gulab Jamun/Dark chocolate pastry.(they both said it simultaneously, and chuckled looking at each other. Anita too was smiling looking at them.)

Armaan : Ohoo(teasing them) Ek kaam karte hai, dono manga lete hai. Phir di aap jiju ko dark chocolate cake khilana and jiju aap di ko gulab jamun khilana apne haathonse.

Both Ananya and Kabir nodded first and then realised hidden meaning in his words.

Ananya/Kabir : What??

Both Anita and Armaan started laughing at them and Ananya and Kabir shook their heads getting enough of their teasings.

After reaching home they had their dinner with Armaan teasing Kabir and Ananya and this time Anita too joined him in teasing. Kabir was giving helpless looks to Ananya while having whole dinner getting enough of their teasings.

After dinner (It was almost 12 pm.) :

Four of them were sitting in living room of Kashyap house talking on random stuff.. Sometimes Anita telling them Sudhirs memories from past. How he used to save Ananya from Anita when she used to do naughty stuffs. Till then Kabirs phone started ringing. He took out his phone from his pocket and looked for the caller. It was his dada calling. But why was he calling so late?? Wondered Kabir. He picked up the call.

Kabir : Hello

No voice was heard from other side. Kabir thought there is some network issue so he went out near the door to talk.

Kabir : hello dada ? Aapko awaj aa rahi hai meri??

Person on other side : (After some time) Hello..

Kabir : Bhabhi aap baat kr rahi hai..

Sandhya : Ha. Kyu mai tumhe call nahi kr sakti??

Kabir : Aisi baat nahi hai Bhabhi. Aap jab chaho muze call kr sakti hai. Bas dada ka number dikha na toh isliye

Sandhya : Tumhe koi cheez explain karne ki jarurat nahi hai Kabir. In fact, maine hi aaj tak tumhare saath bohot galat kiya hai. Maine tumhe tumhare dada se alag kiya yeh jante hue ki tum dono bhai ek dusre se kitna pyaar karte ho. Meri wajah se tum akele pad gaye.. bas meri jid ki wajah se (and she started sobbing.) Kya tum kabhi apni bhabhi ko maaf kr paoge ??

Kabir : (understanding her guilt) Aisi koi baat nahi hai Bhabhi. Mai aap pe kabhi naraz tha hi nahi. Aap khamakha apne aap ko doshi maan rahi hai. Jo hua wo us wakt ke situation ke hisab se sahi tha. Aap monu ki maa hai and use protect karne ke liye aapne waisa kiya.. kisi galat irade se nahi. Toh please aap apne aap ko takleef mat dijiye. Please

Sandhya : (wiping her tears.) Tum aaj bhi utne hi samazdaar ho jitney 8 saal pehle the. Kya aaj bhi hum teeno ke liye utna hi pyaar apne dil me rakhte ho jitna pehle rakha karte the? Kya aaj bhi agar mai chahu toh hume hamara purana Kabir wapas mil sakta hai jo mere liye mere bhai se bhi badhkr tha ?? Batao Kabir

Kabir : Bhabhi aap ka Kabir aap ke liye kabhi change hua hi nahi tha ha bas usne apne apko aap sab se thoda dur kiya tha. Mai aaj bhi aap teeno se utna hi pyaar karta hu jitna pehle karta tha Mere dil me aapke liye utni hi ijjat hai jitni pehle thi.

Sandhya : Thank you Kabir Hum kal Delhi aa rahe hai. Tumhare paas.

Kabir : (with a smile on his face) Thank you Bhabhi sab kuch bhool kr agey badhne ke liye. Kya aap Monu ko bhi saath leke ayengi??

Sandhya : Ha Monu ko bhi saath leke aungi Wo tumhe bohot yaad karta hai Kabir. Bas 2 saal ka tha jab tum humse door hue the but phir bhi aaj tak uske juban pe uske Kabir chachu ka naam aksar rehta hai. Bohot miss karta hai wo tumhe.

Kabir : Abhi mera champ 8 saal ka hua hoga na?? Kiske jaisa hua hai ?? I am sure dada ke jaisa toh nahi hi hoga. Kyunki mai dusra bada bhai handle nahi kr sakta

(***Guys I have changed the gap between Sudhir Kashyaps murder and present time from 8 years to 6 years. So note that, in present time, Ananya is 24 years old, Kabir is 30 years old, Kabirs dada is 36 years old and Armaan is 18 years old. Kabir and Shreyas divorce occurred 5 years back. And Anita worked as a paediatrician.***)

Sandhya : (chuckling) Kal ayega na toh khud hi dekh lena kis ke jaisa hua hai. (after a pause) Kabir Ananya kaisi hai?? Kya tum dono phir se saath me aagaye?

Kabir : (smiling) Ha Bhabhi. Ananya bilkul theek hai. And maa kal panditji ko bula ke hamare shaadi ka mahurat bhi nikalne wali hai. Agle mahine ka.

Sandhya : I am so happy ki tum dono phir se ek saath aa gaye. Wo bohot achhi ladki hai Kabir. Khyaal rakhna uska.

Kabir : Ha Bhabhi.. ofcourse

Sandhya : Achha theek hai.. Baaki ki baatey kal aney ke baad karte hai.

Kabir : Ha Bhabhi wo actually maa kal aapko aur dada ko dinner ke liye invite karne ka soch rahi thi. Matlab dada ka call aya tha na muze ki wo kal aa rahe hai toh maa boli ki sab log milke shaadi ke mahurat ka and baaki ke cheezon ka discussion karte hai Wo waise aapko personally call kr ke invite toh kr hi dengi but maine bas aapko idea dene ke liye bata diya. Toh aapko chal jayega na?

Sandhya : Ha ha Kabir.. Isme na chalne jaisi kya baat hai.?

Kabir : (with a smile on his face) Theek hai Bhabhi.. Mai waise maa ko bata deta hu phir. And aap abhi so jaiye.. kal subeh jaldi flight hogi na aapki ??

Sandhya : Ha ha good night🌃

Kabir : Good night Bhabhi, bye ☺

And Kabir hangs up the call. He was feeling so happy that he found his family back once again. How much he was craving for the love of his closed ones since last couple of years.
