Sati ran to the sweet shop and there she was very nervous… Aunty and the owner uncle both were happy to see her. And Dhondu, Ddhinku and Jhumki all stood at the gate of shop too….
Uncle : Kya hua betiya.. Aa na …
Sati: (she kept her talcum powder can and shoe box on the payment counter) Uncle ji aap yeh sab le lo na please…
Uncle: Kyu betiya? Isme kya hai?
Sati: Yeh meri cheeze hai sari achhiwali… Aap yeh sab rakhlo aur mere dost ka kaam mujhe dedo… main roz aake sab kar dungi achhese… Dost se bhi zyada achhese… (she had tears in her eyes) Mere Dost ko na bohot chot lagi Uncleji woh kaam nahi kar sakte ab. Aap gussa nahi honge na unse. Main ...mujhse galati ho gayi...ab aage se aisa nahi karungi… aap mujhse jitna bhi kaam karne ko bolenge main kar dungi pukka aur chhuti bhi nahi karungi sachhi God Promise!
Rudra stood hiding behind the shop door… He could hear the stress and tears in her voice. And his throat constricted… she has brought all she had to save him from his job. She thinks that he got hurt because of the job. But the truth is he has been rewarded with something, whose value only he could understand.
Uncleji: Arey nahi betiya, Rudra toh hafte bhar ka kaam ek din mein karke gaya hai, aur dekh kitni sari jalebi banayi usne Dhondu ke liye. Ja yeh sab leja iss Motu ko dede…
Dhondu immediately started to move in, looking at the heap of Jalebi on a big tray…
Sati: Khabardar jo tune ek kadam bhi badhaya toh… Koi jalebi nahi milegi. Mere Dost ka hath jal gaya aur tujhe jalebi chahiye… Abhi maru tujhe, Dhondu ka bachcha. Sahi kehte hai Dost bigad gaya hai tu. Waha dost ko chot lagi hai toh waha unke paas rehna chahiye tha na...yaha kyu aaye tum sab? Gande bachche kahike. Jaao abhi yaha se jao. Jab tak Dost ka haath theek nahi hoga koi Jalebi nahi, koi Ice cream nahi, kuchh bhi nahi milegi.
Uncleji main kal subah kitne baje aau?
Uncle: (he was about to say no, but Rudra peeped in and shook his head) Betiya kal tu 10 baje aajana…
Sati went away…. And Rudra entered the shop. Uncleji and Aunty both laughed at Sati’s antics…
Aunty: Pagli hai humari betiya Rudra beta. Iska koi haal nahi.
Rudra: Uncleji main woh Dabbe dekh sakta hu?
Uncle: Beta dekhna kya tum yeh dabbe le jao apne saath. Sati betiya toh humesha aisa hi karti hai… Main aapke baba ko humesha uski cheeze wapas kar ke aata hu…
Rudra took the Dabbas and went to the Treehouse… he opened the Talcum powder can to find it was a Jugad piggy bank. It had so many notes of different denominations. Which might amount to some Rs. 20,000. She has given up all her savings it seems ....some of the notes were really old…. And some were not even Indian Rupees. And he laughed at her.
She did not apply her mind in the smaller details in life. If her relationships were taken care off… rest can take care of itself or may be not. Did she care?
Then he opened the shoe box and found lots of unrelated things. Some shiny objects, one hair clip with butterfly studs, A photograph of a beautiful lady, and a Diary which read “To my Sati from Maa”. But among them was a bundle of hand written letters. Letters to him for more than 6 years. They were stamped and addressed to him. He started to open the first one…. But then he stopped, something in him was scared….
Does he really want to know?
