Raj - " Naina, yeh haldi ka dood he...pii lena...achcha lagega...
Aur woh..." he turned back to see her but her place was empty....
Again she walked out, without letting him complete his words... ignoring his presence...
It has been four days, since all left for their respective postings and Naina once again had fallen into the swapy waters...
Closing his eyes, taking a deep breath he calmed down himself....and started washing the dishes to clear his mind filled with her presence.... without any hint of his fresh wound being soaked.....
****************
Naina - " jii Bhai...
Main Kal se jaa rahi hu...."
..............
Naina - " Huda saath rahega....
Aur Pooja bhi hogi.."
..............
Naina - " nii, main theekh hu..."
..............
Naina - " kuch hi ghante ki baath he...
Koyi zaroorat nii he...
Main akeli chali jaaungi..."
...............
Naina - " bye..." she turned and saw Raj standing there with some broken glasses in hand....
She walked towards the balcony for some fresh air...as it's too difficult to breath in his presence....
*****************
Raj - " woh so rahi he abhi..
Maine check kiya..." he was talking in a low voice laying on the couch in hall...
Naveen - "pata he mujhe...woh theekh hogi...tu joh he uske saath....
Aur,
Maine uske nii Tere baarein mein jaane ke liye phone kiya..." then pausing a little, in a soft tone,
" Kaisa he tu??
Dinner kiya??
Yaa fir khali pet mein fir soya???? " he asked the last line in a mild scolding voice...
Raj - " Kal se woh 'Yuva' jaa rahi he Kya???..." asked changing the topic...
Naveen - " tu video call pe aa...
Kuch important baath karni he..." he asked in a panicking tone...
After 2 minutes....on Video call...
Raj - " kyaa hua???"
Naveen - " Tere Ghar mein kitchen he na...waha fridge mein Maine kuch pendrive rakha he dekh..." whispered...
Raj straight away walked towards the fridge and started searching for the pendrive...
Raj - " kaha he???..." asked not finding any...
Naveen - " woh haldi wala dood kiske liye he???...
Nigal le...warna ek mukka yaha Ladakh pe baite maarunga...
Aur tu waha shaheed hoga...
Jaldi uta glass... " scolded standing on the bed...
Raj - " nii yaar...man nii he..." and closed the fridge door...
Naveen - " Abe, mere baath manta he ki main Tere shikhayat, Anu se..." stopped abruptly realising what he was going to blurt....
Raj looked here and there, searching for her presence....
and silently finished the whole glass in one go... fearing her presence.... like a small kid.....
Naveen - " Raj...
Meri wajah se tujhe Gudiya see Shaadi...... " he spoke lowering his guilty eyes....
Cutting his words,
" Navu,
Good night...." he ended the call and rushed towards the washroom to puke the milk and their dreams.... which he left in half hangered....
