A beautiful mishap

98. Bruised

"Ahaan sambhaale apne aapko, kuch nahi hua hai na aap worst case scenarios kyu imagine kar rahe hai, wo ladka zinda hai, umer ko jail nahi hui, sab theek hai Ahaan hum samjhaenge umer ko, aap uski baat sune toh sahi shayad koi bada reason hoga, shayad usne jaan mujh kar nahi kya, galti se hogaya ya hosakta hai wo ladke ne hamare umer ko maarne ki koshish ki usne apne defence me kiya yeh sab, please apne aapko sambhaaliye!" Aiman rubbed his back.

"Mera bhai aisa nahi hai aiman, maine apne bache ko bada kiya hai wo jazbaati zarur hai par wo aisa nahi tha, wo kisi ki jaan nahi lesakta!" Ahaan cried hugging her.

"Ahaan jab mai factory visit waale din waha phas gayi thi, kya aapne un ladko ko jaan se maarne ki koshish nahi ki? Kya aapne zaruu ka badla lene ke liye Ahmed uncle ko maarne ki koshish nahi ki? Toh umer ka bhi valid reason hoga ahaan aapka hi toh khoon hai usme, aap kyu usey criminal declare kar rahe ho, kaise aapka maarna justified hogaya aur uska maarna gunaah, Apne bete ko criminal kehdiya? Uske dil par kya beete gayi hogi? Uspar FIR bhi nahi hui ahaan, agar us ladke ki koi galti nahi hoti toh abtak uske parents FIR karwaate... kuch bohut badi baat hogi jiski waja se umer majboor hogaya yeh step uthane par, aap baat karee ussey, puche usse!" Aiman said.

She touched the strings of Ahaan's mind, his mind clicked thinking the possibilities he hadn't considered before.

"Mujhe kuch nahi samjh aaraha aiman, mai toh hamesha apne bhen bhai ke bohut khareeb tha, maine hamesha khyaal rakha ki mai undono ko itna pyar desaku ki wo mujhse baatein na chupaye wo log apne problems lekar mere paas aasake kisi bhi waqt, kisi bhi haal me chahe mai gusse se phat bhi raha hu tab bhi mai dekhta tha ki wo dono mujhse darke dur na ho, mai kab apne bhai se itni dur hogaya ki usey koi problem thi toh wo mere paas nahi aasaka, tum jo baat keh rahi ho wo theek hai ki maine bhi maara hai Ahmed shah ko, par maine khyaal kiya tha ki is chiz ka asar in dono par na ho, mai apne hosh hawas me tha mujhe pata tha mai kya kar raha hu, haan mai is cheez ko justify nahi kar raha, par Aiman wo mera chota bhai hai mujhe dar lag raha hai uske liye, uski zindagi dav par lagi hai ùski ek bewakoofi ke wajah se" Ahaan shared his feeling while tears kept flowing down his cheeks

"Ahaan please panic nahi karein bhaiya promise karke gaye hai na usey jail nahi karenge aap kyu stress lerahe hai, umer ne jo kiya galat kiya chahe jo b reason ho aur aapka usey maarna bilkul sahi tha, magar aur na maarein please, wo bohut dara hua aaya hai ghar usey aapke comfort ki zarurat hai!" Aiman hugged him.

"Tum jakar dekho na usey please, mujhe nahi pata uski zindagi me kya masle chal rahe hai, mujhe pata hai Aiman wo jhoot keh raha, wo koi baat chupa raha hai mujhse, uski aankhein dekhi hai maine, umer aur zara dono ki aankho se sach aur jhoot ka farak mehsoos hota hai, aur wo jhoot kehraha hai, dekho na shayad wo takleef me ho, kuch ulta seedha na karlein!" Ahaan pleaded her with teary eyes.

"Nahii karega Ahaan itna mat sonche, aap jaayein thodi der jakar zara ke sath time spent karein, aap ke dil ko sukoon milega mai umer ke paas jaati hu!" Aiman patted his thigh.

Aiman went to Umer's room and knocked on the door twice, but there was no response.

"Umer mai hu beta please kholo!" Aiman said softly.

Not wanting to disobey her, Umer slowly opened the door.

Aiman gasped seeing his condition. His face was bruised and swollen, his lips still oozing blood from the force of Ahaan's slaps, his whole existence was shivering, because of non stop crying. Aiman's heart ached at the sight of him.

"Umer kya haal kar rahe ho apna!" Aiman entered inside and guided him to sit on bed

Umer layed his head on her lap, hugged her stomach and cried badly.

"Bhabhii...bhaiya ka dil tod ...tod diya maine...Allah ka pakka wada...yeh nahi chah raha tha...unhone kaha mai unhe kuch nahi samhjta....bhabhi jiski kasam chahein lelein mere liye wo mere baba se badkar hai!" Umer cried loudly.
