"mam ye apka parcel"
An orderly gave her a package.
She took it with a wondering look and closed the door.
Her phone rang before she could have open the parcel.
Keeping the package down she went to receive the call.
"Cl Puri this side"
"Ohh hello sir I am so glad to hear from you".
"Lt Singh.....
I have delivered a parcel for you."
Naina read the name on the parcel
"Yes sir
I think it's in my hand.... What is it sir"
"Letters Hain.... Jo Naveen ne detention center mein likhe the... which Never got posted....."
She was suddenly excited....
"Thank you so much sir.
It's a great help"
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
She sat at the middle of the bed with those 7 letters in her hand
She opened the first one it was for maa baba....
She started reading it
And as she read word by word
Tears started rolling down her cheeks
He had written that how he is innocent and has been trapped and not to believe him as a traitor.
In the second letter
She could feel that he was still fighting
Guiding ma baba with legal actions and clause.
Giving them hope
She opened the third letter and her blood boiled,it was for Ritu.
She tore the letter as she read that how heartbroken his brother was .
How shattered he was with Ritu's betrayal
The fourth one was to his lawyer who was taking his case.
She did found some points relevant but chose to come back later on it after finishing the remaining letters.
The fifth letter was again for maa baba
And the sixth one was for her
In which he just poured his heart out.
Her heart was already crying tears of blood.....
She was feeling his touch on that paper
Tracing his handwriting with her finger.
Even smelling the letters..
And then her eyes fell on that last letter....
It was infact the last letter Naveen wrote... She figured out with the date.
She opened it and it was for rajveer
It was a letter straight from the heart
Naveen had written that he is so grateful of rajveer for standing by him and how he was sure that he will believe him.
For leaving no stone unturned for a fair trail.
Telling him about how he is being tortured in the detention
And is being injected forcefully which is making him sick day by day
Asking him to come and meet.... As he need to confide in him something confidential.
For being a Ray of hope in these dark times.
Even joking that when he will have kids in future he will show them his picture saying this is how friendship and humanity looks like.
She was in tears by the end of the letter.
Her heart taking one more step towards him.
She neatly arranged all the letters back and kept them in the cupboard.
She was already so tired of hating him
This rage was making her crumple from inside like Malaria.
Not hating him is so pleasent
No constant heart burn
No choking
No cramps in heart
She went outside the room
At the favourite corner of her balcony
And saw the tiny raindrops dancing in the air.
She put her face outside to take that fresh heaven's water on her skin.
She was drinking rain like a baby bird open her beak towards the sky.
This is how he saw her as he came in the balcony to smoke.
"She is behaving so normal nowdays
She is behaving so much like a"
He thought for a while and then completed his sentence
"GIRL"
They still don't talk much....
!!!!!!!!!!!
One more week went like this
She has burnt the vessel while cooking maggii..... terribly
And was now showing her taekwondo skills on that vessel as she tried to scrub it in the basin.
"Tum hato main Kar lunga."
He said in minimum words and she quickly kept the pan down for him to resume the work.
She kept wondering what to eat as her dinner was now cremenated
She open the fridge for bread and milk.
And sat to eat
As her nostrils were filling with aloo paratha he had prepared for himself
He saw her eyeing the casserole.
And kept the casserole on table in front of her and left the dining
She immediately filled her empty plate with paratha
