Neil opened Mini's diary and started reading.. (I am writing only the relevant parts)
"Babes ne mujhe hamesha ek beti ki tarah dekha, never as a person, never as a woman... Never mind"
"Mai hamesha chhupti rahi sabse, samne hokar bhi samne nahi padi kisi ke"
"Babes ne jo kaha woh bhi uske andar ka zeher tha? Kya mai sach mein babes ko Papa Ji ki yaad dilati hoon?"
"Agar mai nahi hoti toh usko itna struggle nahi karna padta.. mai paida hi kyun huyi?"
"We are a subtotal of our memories.. babes badal gayi yaa mai badi ho gayi? It hurts. Uski aankhon mein pehle jaisa apnapan kyun nahi dikhta mujhe? Uski aankhein ek stranger ki tarah dekhti hain mujhe. But I shouldn't be emotional. I have to survive, I have to make it work."
Neil wasn't able to understand everything that happened, but he was able to make out something from these jottings. He could feel the pain she had been going through.
Neil: Aisa kya ho gaya tha jo Mini ko apni existence par hi sawaal uthana pad gaya? It seems like, woh jeene ke liye hi struggle kar rahi ho. This is not fair. I need to know about this. But kaise?
Next day, he went to Naeem Bi's house and asked her about everything.
Naeem Bi: Shuru se hi Babita Mini ko theek se samajh nahi paayi. Maine dekha apne samne, Mini ne apni maa ka saath ek maa ki tarah diya, itni chhoti si umr mein. Phir bhi sab kuch theek hi tha. Par Hanuman aur Babita ki shadi ke baad, sab badal gaya. Unki shaadi ke din se hi, har cheez ka ilzaam Mini par lag jaata tha. Babita ne Mini ki dosti par sawal uthaya, usko uss Meeta ke barabar laa kar khada kar diya, jo dukaan unhone mil kar kholi thi, usko bech diya, Saroj aur Kammo ki baaton mein aa kar saare rishtey khatam kar diye. Hanuman ka bhi bartav badal gaya. Par Mini sab kuch sehti gayi. Arrey Babita toh uska janmdin bhi bhul gayi thi. Uss din mujhe pata chal gaya tha, ki ab baat bahot badh gayi hai. Par phir, aakhir mein, Babita ne kuch aisa kaha jisse Mini ka dil aur uski himmat puri tarah tut gayi. Tujhe pata hai naa, Ashok ne uske liye ek chithhi bheji thi. Babita ne naa toh usko padne diya aur naa hi khud pada, aur uski aankhon ke samne usko jala diya. Jab Mini ne sawal kiya toh usne usse keh diya ki..
Flashback
Babita: Tu apni maa se sawaal kar rahi hai? Tujhe aaj apne papa ji zyada sahi lag rahe hain? Sahi kaha tha Saroj ne, khoon toh unhi kaa hai hai naa tu. Rahegi toh tu hamesha apne baap ki beti naa.
Flashback ends.
Neil was shocked.
Naeem Bi: Uske baad Mini Australia chali gayi. Aur 5 saal baad Babita aur Hanuman ke jaane ke baad hi wapas aayi. Babita ke beete hue kal ne, uske saare lamho ko barbaad kar diya. Sab rishtey khatam ho gaye. Uske jaane ke baad toh ab koi gile bhi nahi rahe. Par Mini ke dil ka kya? Usko toh aaj bhi bura lagta hoga. Isliye tere aur Isha ke baare mein janne ke baad, maine tujhe kaha tha yahan se jaane ke liye.
Neil: Nahi Naeem Bi, I promise I will never hurt her.
Naeem Bi: Mai janti hoon. ☺️
Neil already had tears in his eyes. The love of his life, had gone through so much. He wanted to be there for her, to comfort her, to calm her. But he cannot change the past.
Neil: And her photography?
Preet came.
Preet: I will tell you. Jab babes ka divorce case chal raha tha, tab uska Delhi University ka exam bhi clear ho gaya tha. But she didn't go, as she wanted to be there for her. Dadu Biji ke advertisements ke liye photos bhejne ke baad she got more confident about her skills. Phir mere aur Mickey ke pressurize karne par she applied for a course in Australia. Uski job bhi lag gayi thi wahan par. But, for Arya, she left her job as well. I wish ki kaash yeh sab nahi hota.
Neil: No Preet, she doesn't deserve sympathies. She has survived the storms alone, she deserves love.
Baahon mein tujhko rakhun
Dhadkan mai teri sunoon
Aa itna nazdeek aa zara
Jisme duaayein rahe
Har dum wafaayein rahe
Doon tujhko aisa ik jahan
Tere ishq pe, tere waqt pe
Bas haqq hai ik mera
Teri rooh pe, tere jism pe
Bas haqq hai ik mera...
Main toh bas teri chaahat mein chahoon rehna sada
Main toh bas teri kurbat mein chahoon rehna sada
Saaya bhi tera main, hone na doon juda
Maine tay kar liya...
He couldn't bear all this and left at once. He came to his room. Tears were flowing from his eyes.
Neil: How can you bear all this alone, Mini? Itna pain, itna struggle, it's too much. But I promise, ab agar kisi ne bhi tumhe hurt karne ki koshish ki toh usko pehle mujhse guzarna hoga. Ek aisa environment hoga tumhare aas paas jisme sirf pyaar, trust, loyalty aur sukoon milega. Har dard, har takleef ko tumse door rakhunga. Tumko itna pyaar dunga ki tum saare dard bhul jaogi. I promise. ❤️
