Against All Odds

Part 39

Amit walked through the corridor and entered in visiting area of the jail.  He saw Rohit sitting on a bench. His gaze was fixed on ground and he was looking extremely depressed.

Amit felt his heart aching after watching him. He went ahead and stood in front of him.

"Rohit?" Amit called him.

Rohit didn't answered. Amit felt weird.

"Rohit.."He raised his voice a bit and shook him.

Rohit came in reality and looked up towards him.

" Dada.. "He exclaimed.

Amit smiled. Rohit stood up and hugged him like a frightened kid. Amit hugged him back.

" Kya hua chhote.. " Amit asked.

" Dada plz mujhe yaha se le chalo.. Yeh sab nai chahta main.. Mujhe koi power nai chahiye.. Koi position nai chahiye.. I am well educated man.. Main apne dam pe kuch kaam kar loonga.. Bas mujhe yaha se bahar nikalo.." Rohit said.

" Shh.. Shh.. Shant ho jao.. Baitho.. "Amit made him sit." Sach main janta hoon.. Aadhi galati tumhari hai yeh bhi janta hoon.. Par tumhari ek galati baba ke itne sare papo ke samne kuch nai.. Isliye main tumhe maaf karne ke liye tayyar hoon.. " Amit said.

" Main nai janta ki main kya kar raha tha.. Bas kar gaya main.. " Rohit was running short of words.

" Thik hai.. Bolne ki jaroorat nai.. "Amit looked everywhere." Dekho.. Tumhare bail ke liye hamne har taraf se fielding lagayi hai.. Baba nai chahte ki tum election se pehle bahar aao.. Par hum tumhe bahar nikalenge.. Bas ek baat hai.. "

" Kya? " Rohit asked.

" Abhi isi waqt batao ki Bandana ka isme kya role hai.. Aur wo kya kar rahi hai.. "Amit asked.

" Usko laga ki ghar me se koi mujhe bahar nikalne ki koshish nai kar raha.. Isliye usne apne baba se madat mangi hai.. Bas. "Rohit replied.

" Bas..? Itna hi hai.? Are you sure? " Amit again asked.

" Haan.. I am sure. " Rohit answered.

" Thik hai.. Bas kal tumhari bail karwa ke rahunga main.. "Amit smiled.

" Tum khud karoge? Baba bhadak jayenge.. "Rohit said.

" Umm.. Baba kai salo se mujhpe bhadke hue hai.. Usme kuch naya nai.. " Amit chuckled." But still.. Main Aarushi the great ka campaign head hoon.. I have to maintain an image till elections.. So yeh bail ka kaam Adv Siddharth Nigam karenge.. "

"Yeh sab nai hota toh main hi vahini ka campaign karta dada.. Yaha pe baith ke itne dino se socha maine.. Tumhari sari baatein sahi lagti hai ab.. Aai ke sath sahi me bahot galat hua hai. Maine bandana ke sath bahot galat kiya hai.. Phir bhi wo mujhe jail me dekh nai saki.. " Rohit stopped.

Amit saw tears in his eyes.

" Kitni strength hoti hai in aurato me.. Itne salo se baba kitni buri tarike se behave karte hai aai ke sath.. Usko literally kitna mara hai unhone.. Kitna jaleel kiya hai.. Phir bhi unke sath hai wo.. Aur hamesha rahegi.. Chahe hum kuch bhi kare.. Bandana ke sath maine kitna bura behave kiya hai.. Mere sage baap ne mera sath chhoda par usne nai.. She genuinely felt bad.. " Rohit said.

Amit patted on his back." Isi dedication ka jawab hum thodi si respect aur pyaar se de dena.. Toh yahi aurate hamari jindagi ko 10 times better banati hai.. Bas ab tum samajh gaye ho.. Ab mehsoos bhi karoge ke yaha dominance, male ego yeh sab cheeze chhod ke hamari hi jindagi kitni acchi banti hai.. Tum dekhoge.. "

" Main ghar aake sab thik karunga dada.. I will solve everything.. "Rohit smiled.

" I knw you will.. Come back soon.. "Amit smiled.
