A few years later,

A man is seen departing down from the staircase of the airplane..he smells the fresh air of his hometown and smiles.

"Kaisa lag raha hai apne watan aakar, Sir?", his junior asked him with a smile...he removed his glares and looked at him.

Man- aisa lag raha hai hamari sabhi takleefein door ho gayi ab....(Happily)...kabhi socha nahi tha wapas bharat ki is bhoomi par hum kadam rakh payenge..

Junior- kaise nahi rakh pate sir? Iss bhoomi ke liye aapne kya kya nahi kiya hai..(admiring)

Anubhav smiled...yes he was back after a near death experience from his mission in another country....it was a successful one, obviously.

Junior- par sir, Lucknow kyun? Matlab aapne kaha tha ki aap kabhi dobara yahan nahi ayenge...

AS- kaha toh tha..parantu hamari behna ke liye aana pada...unhone zidd pakdi thi ki hamare bhanje ka naamkaran hamari upasthiti mein hoga...isiliye vivash the..

J- ohh..accha hai Sir...(Smiled)...accha ab main chalta hoon...driver aa gaya hai shayad...have a good holiday, Sir..

Anubhav smiled as the junior left...he booked a cab and went straight to his home.









Maa- hmm, toh mission ke liye bhaga tha uss din...(Calmly)

AS- ji maa...(With equal calmness)

Maa- hamari parvah nahi ki naa sahi...ek baar Haseena ko batana zaroori nahi samjha tune?

Haseena.

Her name still sounded a melody to his ears and raised his heartbeats...

AS- maa yadi hum unhe batate toh wo aajeevan hamare intezaar mein reh jaati...hum nahi jaante the ki iss mission se hum lautenge bhi ya nahi..aise mein unhe kaise aashwasan dedete?

Maa- tu mera beta hai...aur teri mrityu itna asaani se hone se rahi bacche....par tune Haseena ke sath sahi nahi kiya...wo bahut samajhdaar hai...par tune uss din uska bahut dil dukhaya...tu jaanta hai, behosh ho gayi thi tere bhaagne ki khabar sunkar...(She told the whole story)

Anubhav drowned in guilt...he knew she will get affected...but the depth of her pain was much more than his imagination...

AS- ab..kaisi hain-

"Bhaiya!!", he heard Karishma from the door...running towards him...Anubhav engulfed her in his arms...Maa adored the sibling duo..

KS- aap theek haina?(Checking his arms)..kahi goli toh nahi lagi na?(Worriedly)

AS- hum bilkul swasth hain behna...aapki duayen jo thi hamare sath...(Smiled)

Karishma smiled...Vyom, her husband emtered from behind..with their little son..

V- kaise hain saalesahab?(Smiled)

AS- bilkul theek..aap bataiye jijaji..(taking the baby boy in his arms)...ye toh bilkul hamare jaisi naak hai iski...(Playing with him)

The baby giggled...

Vyom smiled- hum bhi badhiya hain...lagta hai aapke bhanje ko aap pehli baar me hi pasand aa gaye..(seeing the baby comfortable with Anubhav)

AS- kaise nahi aate..mama hain uske...(Kissing his cheek)

KS- namkaran aapko hi karna hai bhaiya..yaad haina?

AS- bilkul behna...kab ki taarekh hai?

KS- 15..

AS- accha..matlab agle saptah...

KS- ji...

AS- aur baki sab kaise hain?

Karishma knew whom he was hinting at...before she could speak, the doorbell rang...Karishma opened it to find Haseena....

Anubhav's world stopped...he never knew he would be seeing her again...that too in such a beautiful attire...a simple pink saree, open hairs and her radiant smile.

Haseena had come to meet Maa...but was surprised and shocked to see him...his eyes were locked on her...while she tried hard to look away, but could not.

Maa- Haseena, andar aa beta..

She entered inside....

Maa- kaisa tha?

HM- accha tha Maa...pehli baar ke hisab se toh bahut accha...(Small smile)

Anubhav was confused with this conversation..what were they talking about?

KS- accha? Bahut accha bana tha halwa Maddam Sir..(smilingly)

Anubhav made an O face...he knew she was ignoring him on purpose..but he chose to speak.

AS- aa..kaisi hain aap, Haseena ji?

HM- hum theek hain Sir...aap wapas Lucknow mein? Kisi kaam se aaye the?(She asked formally)

AS- ah, nahi..hum Maa ke sath rehne aaye the aur hamare bhanje ke naamkaran hetu..

She hummed..

HM- hum chalte hain Maa..ghar mein thoda kaam hai...(Smiled)

Maa nodded..

Maa- jaldi aana phir...aur agli baar Rohit ko bhi lana...(Smilingly)

HM- bilkul Maa...aaj bhi le aate par woh busy the office ke kaam mein...

Maa- hmm..itna bade office mein kaam karta hai..busy toh hoga na..par apni Maa ke liye toh aa hi sakta hai..

HM- bilkul Maa..hum kahenge unse agli baar aane ke liye..ab chalein?

Maa nodded...Anubhav looked at Karishma..

KS- Rohit Ahuja, Maddam Sir ke husband hain bhaiya..(she said in a calm tone..knowing what impact would it make on Anubhav)

Anubhav's smile faltered...her outfit..her subtle makeup..he should have understood...she was married...she was someone else's to cherish, to love.
