AMALGAM

" Amalgam " .... Nothing can be more preciousand fruitful , than witnessing one's Dreams and Destiny , amalgamating into a Reality , into a Surreal Future ....

Hearts sway in that overwhelming , uncanny happiness of finding someone with whom one's soul connects , for a lifetime of togetherness , finding solace in each other's happiness...

And gradually , The Dreams and The Reality starts to submerge into each other , creating the HORIZON of an alluring Future ...

" Papa , yeh aap kya kar rahe ho ? "

" Collage bana raha hoon .. "

" Collage ?? , woh kya hota hai ?? "

" Beta , jo yaadein humari liye bohot special hote hai na , unhe zindagi bhar ke liye apne aankhon ke smne taaza rakhne ke liye , hum unn lamhon ko aise sambhal ke rakhte hai .. "

" Par Papa , Newspaper main hamari yaadein kaise reh sakti hai ? Iss mein toh sirf khbar - ein hoti hai na ? "

Giving a shy smile , He answered , "Nahin Beta , inn newspapers main bhi kuch aiseyaadein hai, jo mere liye bohot keemti hai ... "

" Par Papa ,

" Manas , Tumhe school nahin jaana kya? " , Someone said , interrupting the Father - Son conversation.. " Jao , jaake ready ho jao "...

" Theek hain , Mummy .... " , and He went inside the room....

" Kya Hua ? Aise kya dekh rahi hon ? " ,. He asked..

" Yahi dekh rahi thi , ke sapne sach bhi hote hai , She said ...

Kaise kar lete ho tum ? , aaj tak ke mere har ek jeet ko , mere har ek matches ki har chote se bade moments ko , aise apne paas rakhna chahte ho ? , Itna pyaar karte ho mujhse , mere Akshay kumar ?? " , She said cupping his cheeks , tears rolling down her cheeks , involuntarly...

"Ae , Frock wala Pandit , mera matlab saree wala pandit ,

tu roya mat kar , He said , wiping off her tears ...

' Tu roti hai , toh mujhe bilkul accha nahin lagta .... "

" Theek hai nahin roungi , waise bhi yeh toh khushi ke aansu ke hai ..

khushi iss baat ki , mera Munna , sirf Sameer ka dost , ya Sirf Mera pati nahin hai , uski khud ki ek pehchan hai .. Woh pehchan , jise usne apne mehnat se banaya hai.. Mera bandar ne , apne dam pe iss family business ko ek naye mukaam pe pohochaya hai ....

Ab koi nahin kahega , ke tum Sameer ka saaya ho ,Tum dono ek dusre ke Hum-kadam ho , jo zindagi ke har raah pe sath main chalenge .. I am proud of you , my Munna "........

" I am proud of you too , my frock wala urf saree wala pandit " , munna said , engulfing his Swati into her favourite 'Chandni' style hug , like always ...........

" Mujhe Kahan le ja rahe ho ? " , She said..

" Arey tum chalo toh sahi , he said "..

" Haan Mummy , chaliye na... " , their daughter Khushi said.

" Accha , ab tum apni aankhe khol sakti ho , he said " .

" 1 , 2 , 3 ....... "

She was stunned and astonished , witnessing something which she though dreamt of , never expected to real...
Her eyes were wet , yet glimmered with the tears of happiness .
Her heart was overwhelmed with his unconditional love and support which he has showered on her in all these years , after their marriage...
