Unspoken Desire (Completed)

Sid and Sana's Miseries

    Sana was looking out of the window. The cold wind slapping on her face was making her feel better. They had taken a cab from Chandigarh airport. It was an hour drive to Simla. Her stomach felt squeezed from inside. She had thrown up thrice in her two hours flight from Mumbai. Shehbaaz looked at her worriedly.
Shehbaaz: Thek hai tu?? Kuch khaana hai??
Sana: Nahi shehbaaz kuch nhi chahiye. Bas moni ke ghar pahucha de. Mai so jaaungi.
Shehbaaz: Par tune subah se kuch nhi khaaya hai. Kuch agar juice peene ka mann ho to gaadi rok sakte hai.
Sana: Abhi nhi. Muje kuch nhi chahiye.
    It's been four days since she had called shehbaaz. He had reached to Mumbai by four in the evening.  This was his brother. Always standing rock solid by her side. She had told him everything and he had accepted it. No questions asked. She had met Preeti before Shehbaaz's arrival.
Preeti: Tuje lagta hai tu yeh sahi kar rahi hai??
Sana: Tuje kya lagta hai mai galat kar rahi hu?? Tu bata.
Preeti: Pata nhi Sana. Par muje lagta hai. Tuje usse ek baar mil lena chahiye.
Sana: Aur mil kar kya karna chahiye?? Gidgidana chahiye ke yeh baccha tera hai isleye tu muje apna le?? Tuje pata hai Preeti usne muje kabhi yeh nhi kaha ke vo mujse pyaar karta hai. Muje to yeh bhi nhi pata ke hum dono ke beech kya rishta hai. Mai to kabhi bhi kisi ke ghar bagair bulaaya nhi gayi. Ab uski zindagi me bagair bulaaye ghus jaao. Kyu?? Kyuki us raat usne condom na pehenne ki galti ki??
Preeti: Sana vo tum dono ka acche se khayaal rakh sakta hai.
Sana: Apna aur iss bacche ka khayaal rakhne ke leye mai maujud hu. Muje zarurat nhi hai kisi ki. Mai kaha jaa rahi hu yeh tuje bhi nhi bataungi. Vaise hoga to nhi par agar vo tuje majbur karega batane ke leye to tuje pata he na ho. Mai khud he tuje call karungi.  Yeh letter de dena usko. Agar muje puchta hua aaye to. Nahi to faad kar fek dena.
Preeti: Apna khayaal rakhna. Agar kuch zarurat ho to tuje pata hai mai hamesha hu tere leye.
Sana: Mai jaanti hu. Waqt aane par call karungi tuje.
Preeti: Sana ek raat me aisa kya ho gaya. Tu itni mazbut kaise ban gayi.
Sana: Maa aise he mazbut hoti hai shayad. Aur mai Maa banne wali hu.
    She had gone to meet Maa.
Maa: Are tu kaise is waqt?? Vaise bahot khushi hue par acchanak dekh kar hairaan hu. Nahi to kitna bulaana padta hai tuje.
    Sana went and kneeled down on the floor in front of Maa. She took her hand. She had tears in her eyes.
Sana: Aap ko bahot zyaada miss kar rahi the. Isleye aa gayi. Aapko pata hai na Maa mai aapse bahot pyaar karti hu??
Maa: Are beta. Kya hua?? Aise ro kyu rahi hai??
Sana: Kuch nhi aise he. Chalo chalti hu.
Maa: Abhi to aayi hai. Fir....
Sana: Maa yaha kareeb office ke kaam se aayi the. Soocha aapse milti jaau. To aa gayi. Late ho rahi hu. Bye Maa.
Maa: Ok. Firse aana.
    Sana nodded. Knowing she will never come here again. Maybe she is seeing Maa for the last time. This lady is such a compassionate person. She had given her so much of love and affection. She hugged Maa one last time and left. She had called Maa before leaving for the airport today and told her she is in Punjab as her grandmother is not well.
     Moni. Her friend Monica stays in Mashobra a small town near simla. It is 11 kms from simla. Sana was exhausted as she reached the gate of Moni's home. It was a beautiful small cottage house with white fence. A small courtyard with a swing. Moni came rushing to greet her. They both hugged each other.
Moni: Chal ander chal.
    They entered the house to find moni's mother coming towards her with a loving smile on her face. She hugged Sana and kissed her forehead.
Sana: Kaisi ho Maasi??
Maasi: Acchi hu beta. Tu to bhul he gayi hame.
Sana: Nahi Maasi aisi koi baat nhi.
Moni: Are mummy kya aap bhi usse khaada rakh kar baato me lagaye ho. Chal pehle bait jaa. Aao shehbaaz baito.
    Sana went and sat on the sofa. The hall was warm and cozy. Maasi made tea for them, but Sana had no stomach for it.
Maasi: Sana bacche agar koi bhi cheez ke zarurat ho to yeh Maa hai tumhari. Tum aaraam se raho. Koi cheez ka tension mat lena.
Moni: Sana chal tuje tera room dekhati hu.
    The room was to the left of the hall. A small corridor connected both rooms. The room had a bed a small cupboard and a big window. It was beautiful and Sana felt at home.
Sana: Thank you moni. Meri ek phone call pe tune mere leye itna kuch kiya.
Moni: Sana tuje yaad hai na ek aisa he call maine tuje ek raat kiya tha Mohali me aur tu bhaagi chali aayi the. Mummy ko acchanak hospitalised kiya tha. Saara treatment tune karvaya tha. Mai teri assistant the par tune muje hamesha dost samjha. Aur fir jab mohali choda to kitna bada amount diya kyuki tu jaanti the muje book store kholna tha.  Aaj yeh jo kuch bhi hai teri wajah se to hai.
Sana: Bas kar yaar moni. Kitna bolti hai tu. Maine isleye kiya kyuki tu meri apni thi.
Moni: To muje bhi thank you mat bol. Mai bhi isleye kar rahi hu kyuki tu meri apni hai. Samjhi. Teri story baad me sunana. Ab tu aaraam kar.
    They was a knock on the door and shehbaaz came in with Sana's bags.
Shehbaaz: Sana mai chalta hu. Ghar pe pata nhi hai tere sath hu. Aata rahunga. Moni ise ek naya sim card dila deena please.
Moni: Ha mai dila dungi.
Sana: Shehbaaz tu jaa. Mai mummy ko call kar dungi. Ek do din me.
Shehbaaz: Tu apna khaayal rakh. Moni thoda dyaan dena please.
Moni: Are shehbaaz tu tension mat le. Mai hu na.
Shehbaaz: Next week me dekhta hu. Chakkar lagta hu.
Sana: Thek hai. Sambhal kar jaa aur pahuchte he moni ke mobile pe message daal dena.
Shehbaaz: Thek hai.
    It's been days since Sid has spoken to Sana. He was really busy. He was having a break and was having tea looking at the sea which spread in front of him He has finished with all his single shots. Now only the shots with the finalists were remaining. He will leave as soon as he finishes this. He will go to his Sana. Express his feelings to her and then to hell with Rashmi and her scheming mind. Sana will have to pursue her carrer again. He will convince her. She is a good singer and actor. He has seen her work. They will show that Shehnaaz kaur Gill is back.  He has planned it all. Once her career is set again. They will marry and have lots of kids. And then they will all come here one day. The thought brought a smile on his face, but it was short lived as he heard Rashmi's voice.
Rashmi: Hi Sid.
    Sid ignored her.
Rashmi: Sid tu to mujse baat bhi nhi karta hai. Hum pehle dost to the na??
Sid: Dost?? Rashmi agar tu meri dost banke aati aur mujse help maangti to mai tere leye kuch bhi karta. Lekin tune yeh jo Sana ko beech me laake game khela hai na, tu jaanti nhi maine yaha kaise din nikaale hai.
Rashmi: Itna pyaar karta hai tu usse??
Sid: Tuje kya pata pyaar ke baare me. Chod de tu
Rashmi: Ab tu usse pyaar karta hai aur mai tujse. Par tujse zyaada mai apni career se pyaar karti hu. Aur uske leye mai kuch bhi kar sakti hu. Aise has mat muje dekh kar. Tera pyaar Sana hai aur mera yeh mera career. Simple hai.
Sid: Accha aur fir ab jab yeh show khatam ho jaayega to tu logo ko kya bolungi humari iss so called jodi ke baare me.
Rashmi: Vo abhi soocha nhi. Par sooch lungi kuch na kuch.
Sid: Ok. I have had enough of this. I'm leaving.
Rashmi: Ok byeee. Are sun sid ek baat to bata teri vo Sana ne naukari chod de kya??
Sid: Kya??
Rashmi: Tuje nhi pata?? Mere sutro se jaankaari mili hai ke vo pichle teen deeno se kaam par nhi aayi hai. Isleye pucha.
    Sid's heart skipped a beat. He had not called her for past four or five days. He has lost the count too. He had shot day and night and came to the hotel only to sleep and change. Rashmi left and Sid removed his mobile to call Sana's number. The voice on the other end said it's  not  reachable. He dialled again but the answer was the same. He called Preeti, but she didn't pick up the call.  Sid was worried now. Where was she?? Why was she not at work?? Is she not well?? How should he find out. He called Maa.
Sid: How are you Maa??
Maa: Sid kuch hua hai kya?? Itna stressed kyu lag raha hai tu??
Sid: Maa Sana kaha hai?? Usko call nhi lag raha hai. Vo studio bhi nhi gayi hai.
Maa: Are vo to punjab gayi hai.
Sid: Punjab??
Maa: Kyu tuje nhi bataya?? Kal call aaya tha. Boli punjab gayi hu. Dadi ke tabiyat thek nhi hai.
Sid: Nahi Maa meri pichle chaar paach din se baat he nhi hue hai. Aur ab uska call not reachable aa raha hai. Agar jaa rahi the to message to daalti.
Maa: Mai sooch he rahi the ke call karke dekhti hu kaisi tabiyat hai unki. Maine usse bola nhi ke tu next week aa raha hai. Tu usse surprise dena chahta the na??
Sid: Maa agar aapki baat ho to muje message karna aur usse bhi bolna muje message kare.
    Sid disconnected the call. He didn't feel right. Why did she not tell him?? Not even a message. Sid knew she was angry with him. But he had to finish this as soon as possible and return back. The adhere to meet her was so strong. He was ready to work twenty four hours for it. He messaged her. " Dadi kaisi hai teri. Muje message to karti. Muje pata hai tu naraz hai. Par mai aakar sab samjha dunga. Please baby mera wait karna". Sid was called to his shot and then he got busy.
