His Soul 💕 Her Solace 💝

Phool bhi ho Darmiyan toh phaasle huye 🌷

It had been a very hectic week for Anupama. Sunday felt like a blessing in disguise. The morning activity with her Kapadia ji had drained her remaining energy completely. She was tired in places she didn't even know existed. She was still lying in the tent with her eyes closed.

Her phone reverberated with an unknown number. She knew in her gut that this call wouldn't be a happy one. But, true to her usual habit, she picked it up.

A very familiar voice echoed: Anupama..

She froze, not expecting it at all: Jai Shri Krishna Baa

Baa sobbed: Anupama mujhe maaph kar de, mujhe pata chala Vanraj ne tere saath kya kiya.. us din bhi mujhe nahi pata tha wo tere saath badtameezi karega.. usne mujhe bola ki wo tujhe mana lega Shah house chalne ke liye.. tu toh jaanti hai main tujhse lad lu jhagad lu par mera tere bina mann nahi lagta..

Anupama felt disgusted at the revelation: Baa aapko jo pata tha usme aapko kuch galat nahi lag raha.

Baa retorted tearfully: Arrey tere Baa Bapuji hain, bache hain, ghar hai, agar tu wahan aati hai toh kya galat hai. Divorce ke baad bhi toh tu wahan rahi thi na.

Anupama gave a soft chuckle: Baa jab aapka apna sahi galat ka daayra itna dhundhla chuka hai toh Mr. Shah se kya umeed kar sakte hain.. jise aap ghar le jaana chahti hain wo ab kisi ki patni hai.. Aap apne liye ek baar aisa soch ke dekhiye.. aap apne pati ko chhod ke kisi gair ka ghar basayengi.

Baa angered: Anupamaaaa

Anupama added even more calmly: Ab yahi gussa aap apne aur apne bete ke liye dikhayiye.

Baa quickly overturned her tone: Anuj ne humara ghar jala diya.. mere Pati ka ghar...

Anupama replied: Aur aap hi ke bete ne jo unki biwi ko jalaya wo.. ya ab aap keh dijiye tera kya tu toh insaan hai jala bhi diya toh lekin ghar jalana galat hai.

Baa shook: Main bas itna keh rahi hoon ki tere Bapuji darr darr ki thokrein kha rahe hain.. tu Anuj se keh ke ghar mein tera hissa bhi toh hai.

Anupama interrupted: Baa Bapuji ne mujhse ghar ke paper pe sign karwa liye the aur saara ghar Vanraj ke naam kar diya tha, ab usme mera kuch nahi hai.... Ab ye Anuj ka phaisla hai.. main unke business mein kuch nahi bol sakti.. rahi baat Bapuji ki, wo Advait ji ke resort mein aaraam se reh rahe hain..

Baa tried to speak further when Anupama added: Baa main sach mein thak gayi hoon...bas ab plez.. aapko jo karna hai kijiye, bas mujhse ab aur nahi hoga.. Jai Shri Krishna.

She leaned back into the pillows again: Mujhe apni grihasthi ke baare mein sochna hai..Anuj ne kitna kuch saha hai jeevan mein aur choti ne bhi itni kam umar mein kitne dukh dekhe hain..ab bas..she slowly drifted into deep slumber.

After what felt like eternity she walk up slowly, she found Choti sleeping next to her, hugging her. Mukku was working on her laptop. Her phone chimed:
A new message
Kapadia ji 💝

She opened it and read: Anu meeting ho gayi, leaving for office. Aaj ghar jaldi aane ki koshish karunga. Don't make any plans for the evening.

She replied with a smile: Okay 👍

She exhaled with content when Mukku chimed in a low voice: Good afternoon my sleeping beauty.

Anupama gave a sleepy smile: Good afternoon

She quickly checked her phone: Kya good afternoon abhi toh good morning thi..

Mukku smiled: How was your beauty sleep? Tea?

Anupama nodded: Tere bhai ka lunch bhi bhejna hi hai.

Mukku looked into her laptop: Already Tiffin ji le gaye hain.. you take a break.
