Kuchh Ankahi Baatein

Dil Ne..

Next day, early morning Sameer came back from jogging and Rohan was sleeping... Phone rings..

Sameer picked up the call : Hello,

Dadi spoke rudely : Sameer, mein Rohan ki Dadi bol rahi hun...

Sameer : Namaste Dadi, mein Rohan ko bulata hun... aapko baat karni hogi na us se...

Dadi in same rude tone : Ruko, mujhe Rohan se nahin tumse baat karni hai..

Sameer surprisingly : Mujhse... aapko mujhse kya baat karni hai...

Dadi talks rudely and in harsh tone : jyada bhole banana ki koshish mat karo... tumhein kya lagta hai mujhe kuchh samajh nahin aata ki kis tarah tumne mere bhole bhale Rohan ko apni baaton mein fansa rakha hai...

Sameer : Dadi mein kuchh samjha nahin.....

Dadi shouts : chup bilkul, aur haan mein tumhari Dadi nahin hun.. mere sirf do hi bachche hai.. Rohan aur Deepika... vaise bhi tum jaise ladke se toh mein baat bhi karna pasand nahin karti... meri laakh koshishon ke bawjood tumne mere Rohan ko bigaad hi diya.. yahaan tak ki pehli baar voh apne janamdin par mere saath nahin tha... aur to aur usane phone par mujhse baat bhi nahin ki... sab tumhari wajah se hi hai... jab se tumhara manhoos saaya mere bachche par pada hai voh bhi tumhari tarah apne maa baap dadi aur behen se dur ho gaya hai.. jaise tum akele ho tumne usse bhi akela kar diya...

Sameer's eyes got wet : Par Dadi maine Rohan ko kabhi kisi se dur karne ki koshish nahin ki balki

She cut his sentence in between : mujhe mat sikhao... maine duniya dekhi hai.. ek saal se mera bachcha ghar nahin aaya aur to aur tumhari tarah awaragardi bhi sikh gaya hai.. jitna discipline maine usse sikhaya tha voh sab bhool gaya hai... sab tumhari wajah se... par tum yeh mat sochna ki mein haar gayi... mein tumhein usase dur karke rahungi....

She cuts the phone line leaving Sameer's astonished... he couldn't hold himself and ran to terrace to be alone.......... he blinked hard to control the overflowing emotions at the memory of phone call, but tears spilled down his eyes continuously .......

Naina woke up with a jerk feeling very restless....

Naina : Preeti please uth na.... mujhe bahut ghabrahat ho rahi hai...

Preeti sits up rubbing her eyes : kyun behen kya hua... aaj toh college bhi nahin hai... she touched her forehead ... teri tabiyat to theek hai na....

Naina : Haan Preeti mein toh theek hun par ek ajeeb si baicheni ho rahi hai... darr lag raha hai...

Preeti asked confusingly, "kuchh samjah nahin aa raha... hua kya hai khul ke bata"

Naina lowered her eyes and spoke slowly, "voh mujhe Sameer ... Sameer ki yaad aa rahi hai, usaki bahut chinta ho rahi hai, jaise voh pareshaan ho" tears started flowing down on her cheeks... Preeti hugged her and tried to console, "Haan toh kya hua... its normal na... aakhir tum donon itane achchee dost jo ban gaye ho .... Ek kaam kar usse phone kar le na, abhi toh ghar par hi hoga"

Naina : iss waqt phone, nahin achchha nahin lagta... voh kya sochega mere baare mein...

Preeti : kuchh nahin sochega meri duffer behen... chal mein fresh hokar aati hun tu phone kar le...

Sameer came back to his room and was sitting on bed looking at sleeping Rohan lovingly with a cute smile on his face like a kid...... keep thinking on dadi's allegation on him to snatch her grandson ...

Phone rings and with a sad tone, he picked up the phone thinking it might be again from dadi...

Sameer spoke in very low zeal / Naina : hello...

Naina : Kya hua Sameer, tumhari awaaj itani low kyun hai... sab theek hai na...

Sameer controlling his emotions "haan... haan mujhe kya hua... mein theek hun... tum batao iss waqt phone kaise kiya"

Naina understood that something is bothering him too much and easily he will not speak out his heart to anyone...

Naina : voh ... haan voh mujhe tumse kuchh jaruri kaam tha toh kya tum factory jaane se pehle mujhse mil sakte ho...

Sameer worriedly asked " kyun aisa kya hua... kuchh tension hai kya"

Naina : Nahin baba.. bas kuchh kaam tha tumse... tum do ghante mein mujhe law garden mein milo... okay bye... she cuts the phone before he enquires further..

Sameer, "aaj kya ho raha hai... subah se sab phone par mujhse ajeeb se baat kyun kar rahe hai" he goes to gets ready and came out from room, "Ramdhari mein kahin kaam se ja raha hun.. Nanu aur Rohan se kehna factory thodi der se aaunga" he left without meeting anyone as don't want to meet them after Dadi's call ... Ramdhari keep calling him from back to at least had some breakfast but he ignores and left..

He waited for almost fifteen minutes when Naina came down from auto with Preeti who left after dropping her till gate.... He runs to her..

Sameer worriedly : Naina tum theek toh ho.. aise subah achanak bula liya... itna urgently kya kaam tha...

Naina smiled and replied calmly, "haan.. mein theek hun par mujhe kuchh kaam tha tumse... chalo vahaan baithe" saying this she moved to sit on a bench followed by Sameer amazed on her strange behavior...

Sameer : ab toh bolo kya hua... soch soch kar mera dimaag thak chuka hai... ab please bol bhi do...

Naina nervously looked at Sameer and said " voh.. voh na mujhe.. Sameer mujhe na ... mujhe na voh gol gappe khaane hai...

Sameer exclaimed without thinking "haan to kha lo na ismein itni kya tension hai" ... she burst into laughter when he realized her prank like same as he does...

He smiled, lovingly looked at her laughing like a kid, "achchha ji, mera teer mujh hi par... dekh lunga tumhein... vaise sach mein dara diya yaar tumne"

Naina cutely hold her ear, mounthed "Sorry" .... He smiled and put her hand down, "koi baat nahin... par abhi toh gol gappe nahin milenge... chalo aa gaye hai toh ice cream hi kha lete hai... tum ruko mein lekar aaya"

Naina hold her hand and make him sit back... she takes out a box from her bag and give it to him "subah subah ice-cream nahin khaate breakfast kiya jaata hai... mujhe pata hai tumne kuchh nahin khaaya hoga.. lo naashta karo" he opened the box and found aloo parantha inside .... He picked up one and take a bite ...... a lone tear came out from his eyes... she wiped it and ask in low tone " kya hua hai Sameer, subah se kyun pareshaan ho... mujhe nahin bataoge"

He looked at her surprisingly that how did she know that he is feeling low, that something happen with him, something is bothering him, is this the reason she called him in morning, but who told her... he even didn't tell this to Nanu and Rohan as don't want to hurt them even......

He turned his face to other side and wipe his misty eyes, he turned back to her with fake smile plastered on his face...... tumhein kisne kaha ki kuchh hua hai... mein bilkul theek hun... dekho " he tried to plaster a fake smile on his face..

She cut him in between, hold his hand and said looking into his straight "Mere dil ne"....
