Against All Odds

Part 33

Sameeksha kept walking in her house's balcony. Door bell ranged. She ran there and opened it. Expected person was there.

"Sumedh.. " She shouted. "How dare she.. Tumhari biwi ki himmat kaise hui mujhse aise baat karne ki. "

"Kya kiya usne.? " Sumedh asked.

Sameeksha narrated the incident. She was expecting his anger fr Aarushi but instead he started laughing.

"Has rahe ho tum.? " She asked in disbelief.

"Toh aur kya karu Sameeksha.. Usko chahe kitna bhi control kar loon.. Ghar me bitha doon par hai toh wo wahi ladki jisse tumhe bahot jyada insecurity thi.. Jiske politics ki wajah se tumhara political career shuru hone se pehle hi khatam hone wala tha.. " He wiped his eyes while laughing.

Sameeksha didn't liked this.

"Get out of my house. " She said.

Sumedh stopped laughing. He stood up & walked towards her. Her nose was red in anger. Suddenly he grabbed hair and firmly fixed his hand on her nape. She shouted in pain.

"Listen miss Sameeksha.. Jis tarike se maine tumhara career banaya hai na.. Usi tarike se.. Utni hi jaldi me.. Main usko khatam bhi kar doonga.. Masal doonga tumhara career me.. Barbaad kar doonga tumhe.. Mujhse kabhi bhi iss tarike se baat mat karna.. " Sumedh gritted his teeth. 

A tear scrolled down on her cheek. He left her with a jerk. She fell down on ground.

Devaki was waiting fr Amit. He wasn't coming. She decided to call him.

"Kaha hai aap.? " She asked.

"Aa raha hoon.. Raste me hoon. " Amit told.

"Jaldi aaiye.. Mujhe aapko bahot jaroori baat batani hai. " Devaki said.

"Aa raha hoon.. Pohoch hi raha hoon
. " Amit said.

She hung up the call.

'Main inko aaj bata doongi ki Bandana kya bol rahi thi. ' She thought.

Someone knocked on door.

"Aai.. Bahar kyu khadi hai aap.? Aaiye na. " Devaki came forward.

"Aaj kal mujhe pata chal raha hai.. Meri tino bahuo ka.. Ghar me dhyan nai hai.. Kaam me dhyan nai hai.. Aakhir chal kya raha hai.? " Nilima asked.

Devaki gulped her saliva.

"Aai wo.. Wo actually..  " Devaki stammered.

"Dekho Devaki.. Yeh Rajneeti.. Iske sare khel.. Sab bahot gandi cheeze hoti hai.. Maine bahot karib se dekhi hai.. Apne khud ke khoon ka bhi gala ghot de yeh.. Isme mat pado.. Ek baar agar isme fas gayi na.. Waha se bahar aane ka koi rasta nai.. Iss jeher se door raho.. Tumne mujhse wada kiya hai.. Ki ghar ko tootne nai dogi.. Usko tumhe nibhana hai.. " Nilima said.

"Aai main.. Main koshish kar rahi hoon. Par sab jaan ke bhi anjan kyu ban rahi hai aap.? " Devaki asked.

"Yahi karna sahi hai.. Meri baat maan lo.. Tum maan jao.. Aur apni devraniyo ko bhi samjha do. " Nilima said & went.

As Nilima went Amit came in.

"Maine sab suna Devaki.. Tumne Aai ki baat suni.. Ab meri suno. Sach baat toh yeh hai.. Ki iss khel ko maine hi shuru kiya hai.. Aur mere bager.. Yeh khatam bhi nai hoga.. Iss game me.. Do teams banake chalna hi padega.. And.. Tum usme se ek ki leader ho.. Ghar me jo bhi hoga.. Usko analyze kar ke.. Thik se.. Soch samajh kar har kadam uthana.. Iss ghar ke bahot se log.. Mere jaan ke dushman hai Devaki. " Amit said.
