Update 21 Abhi Tells her
Subha ke 3 baje Abhi ne ek letter likha Ruhi ke liye jiss mein ussne apne dil ki baat ko kaha. Beshak English mein likha. Pehle 5 pages likha. Phir ussko kuch ziada laga. Sab phaad ke feink diya, phir likhna shuru kiya. 4 pages hue, phir sab phaad diya, teesri baar likha short karke 1 page mein yeh likha:
“Dearest Ruhi,
It’s 3.30 A.M and I am not yet asleep. Have been thinking of you all night. You have rendered me really mad. I am in love with you since day one I saw you in your yard. Remember that day?
From that day on I have been working with great love at that place only because of you. Everything in that yard encloses your smell, your fragrance, your love, your thoughts for me. In the yard, the soil, the stones, the garden, the flowers, the trees, your kitchen’s threshold, the taps, the washing stone, your room’s window are all witness how far my love is true for you. Talk to them, ask them when you are alone, they will all tell you how madly I am in love with you Ruhi. I am writing in English since I express my feelings better when I write in this language and because I know you love reading in English. Thus I am sure I may succeed to convey my heart’s message to you.
You had said that never in your yard had you ever heard any name other than that of Abhi being called as much, like you have heard my name being called. Ruhi, someday when I reach there much earlier, I talk to the places I use to see you, I ask them either they have seen you, I talk to them telling them to convey you my heart’s message, have not they ever told you?
One day try to wake up very early in the morning, go to you washing stone it may have a message for you, talk to it, ask it if Abhi has said anything about you, go out side and stand near the window from outside and talk to your window ask it if Abhi has told it anything, you will get an answer.
When I am not around, talk to the place I work in the bus, you may feel my presence like I always feel your presence when you are not around. Talk to that huge tree under which the bus is, I often talk to that tree, he knows all our secrets. SECRETS. What are you hiding from me Ruhi?
I cannot see you crying, the way you sobbed today made my heart ache. Please never cry like that my love. I forgive all your mistakes, past and present and accept you as you are. Your mistakes do not count for me, what counts for me is you and your love. If I get your love, its enough for me to live a whole life, not one but I can live hundreds of lives only with your love.
I really don’t know what to tell you more. What is important for me is that I get your love in return of my love for you. I love you very very much and I am serious, I mean it, I want you to be my wife and mother of my kids. I will marry you. We will have a happy life you will see and I bet that you will ever be happy with me. I will take care of you all my life, will love and cherish you till my last day, when we grow old one day you will say thank you for the love, I bestowed over you. I am sure of that. I love you with my soul, I feel our souls must have already connected with each other, and you must have felt that. When two souls get connected with each other, the vibes from both sides are full positive and the people get attracted to each other. And I feel that with you and I am sure you must have felt the same. I know that you love me too but you are reluctant to say it, here you go today I said all in writing. I announced my love to you, and it is written. What more precious could you have on this subject now?
Ruhi, instead of your mother I would have loved it that you, yourself tell me what you were trying to say, say it yourself, if you can’t say it while talking then do write it the way I am writing, write me your pains I will end them for you.
Hope to get the opportunity to give you this letter today.
With lots and lots of love
Yours only
Abhinav. Muuuuuuuuaaaaaaaaaaah.
I LOVE YOU.”
Abhi ne khat ko kayi baar padha tab tak subha ke 4 baj gaye the, tab ussko thoda sukoon haasil hua aur usski aankh lag gayi.
Phir bhi subha 6.30 ko Abhi Ruhi ke aangan mein haazir ho gaya tha kaam ke liye. Ussne uss khat ko ek book mein rakha hua tha aur uss book ko hi Ruhi ko dena tha usse.
Wo aangan mein ghumta raha Ruhi ke intezar mein magar wo nahin dikhi, 7 baj gaye aur sab kaam karne wale aagaye magar Ruhi nahin aayi to Abhi ne kaam start kar diya Ruhi ko dil aur dimaagh mein basaaye hue. Baar baar Ruhi ke ghar ke chaaron or dekhe jaa raha tha Abhi phir bhi no sign of Ruhi. Abhi ko jaldi tha ussko wo khat dene ko, wo chahta tha ke Ruhi jald se jald uss khat ko padhe aur shaam ko jab wapas jaaye to Ruhi ussko khat ka jawaab de.
Abhi ke mann mein achaanak ek darr ne ghar kiya. Ussne socha kahin aisa to nahin ke kal raat ko Ruhi ki maa Ruhi ko bhi lekar usski nani ke ghar lekar chali gayi?!
To abhine apna gaana whistle karna shuru kiya…..15 mins tak wistle karta gaya washing stone ke paas dekhte hue, kitchen ki darwaze par dekhte, terrace par dekhte magar ruhi nahin arahi thi. Abhi pareshan hone laga, udaas ho gaya, seeti bajaate hue usska munh dukh gaya phir bhi ruhi nahin dikhi. Bus mein kaam karne wale log bhi Ruhi ko dhund rahe the kyunke sab ko pata tha ke Abhi ke seeti bajaane par wo aati hai, to ssab baar baar baahar dekh rahe the ke wo abhi ko dekhne ya milne ayegi, au raise 1 ghanta beet gaya magar ruhi nahin dikhi.
Abhi ka bura haal tha, wo kaam mein concentrate nahin kar paa raha tha. baith gaya. Tony ne pucha,
“kyun nahin aayi wo? Aaj ghar par nahin hai kia bhai?”
Aur ekectrician ne bhi pucha,
“Kia hua Abhi bhai? Aaj aap ki girlfriend nahin aayi aap ke seeti bajaane par?”
Abhi ke paas jawaab to tha hi nahin dene ko, khamosh raha wo, to Saeed ne kaha,
“Abhi, jaa, usske door ko knock karke puch kahin bimaar to nahin? Jaa koyi baat nahin!”
Abhi ne ek gehri saans liya, apne bag se book liya, aur jaise bus se nikla to Ruhi ki maa nazar aayi kapde dhone wali jaga par tub mein kapdon ke saath.
To Abhi ke jaan mein jaan aayi aur book lekar gaya uss jagah iss umeed se ke Ruhi wahin hogi ghar ke piche wale hisse par.
Magar wahan paunchne ke baad Abhi niraash hua kyunke Ruhi nahin thi wahan.
Ruhi ki maa ne Abhi ko usske taraf aate dekh liya tha to bade araam se muskuraate hue kaha,
“kaisa hai Abhi? Raat thik se guzra kal tumhara?!”
Abhi: “raat to kaise bhi kat gaya aunty, magar abhi waqt bhaari hai, aakir Ruhi hai kahan, kyun nahin aayi mujhse milne abhi tak wo? Kab se bula raha hoon ussko!”
Ruhi ki maa ne kapdon ko tub se nikaal kar ek dusre Balti mein bhigote hue kaha,
“Ruhi yahan nahin hai, kal raat wo apni nani ke ghar chali gayi! Yahan ussko bahot pareshaan kar rahe ho tum uss se sehen nahin ho raha iss liye main ne ussko tumse door kiya taake meri beti paagal nah ho jaaye!”
Abhi ko chilla kar rone ka mann kiya, usska chehra utar gaya aur gala sukh gaya, saans lene mein ussko jaise takliff hone lagi aur, dil ke dhadkanen abnormal hone lage. Usska mann kiya ke Ruhi ki maa ko hi sunaaye. Soch raha tha ke kaisi aurat hai, ussko apni beti ki takliff dikhi aur Abhi ki takliff nahin dikha ussko, ab Abhi ka kia hoga yeh nahin socha ussne? Aur kia Ruhi apne nani ke ghar mein dukhi nahin hogi? Kia wahan wo khush rahegi Abhi ko yaad nahin karegi?
Abhi bahot saare sawaal karnaa chahta tha magar bina kuch kahe hi wapas bus mein chala gaya halaan ke Ruhi ki maa ussko awaaz deti rahi.
Jab Abhi bus mein wapas pahunch gaya to baahar wapas dekha washing stone ke taraf to Ruhi ki maa ussko bula rahi thi, magar Abhi ne hath ke ishaare se nah kaha. Aur slow speed mein kaam karta gaya Abhi, halaan ke ussko pata tha Ruhi yahan nahin hai phir bhi Abhi ki nazrein baar baar terrace par, lounge ke andar dekhe jaa rahe the…. Aur Abhi ne phir se apna seeti uss gaane ke sur mein bajana shuru kiya, “Pyar karte hein hum tumhein itna, do Aankhen to kia do jahan mein samaaye nah jitna, pyar karte hein hum tumhein itna…..”
Aur lounge ke parde hatte, darwaza khula aur Ruhi nikli terrace par aayi Abhi ke chehre mein pyar se dekhte hue!
Ussko dekh kar Abhi ko ab Khushi se chillaane ka mann kiya, ussne Ruhi ki maa ke taraf dekha jo Abhi ko dekh kar hanss rahi thi, ussne mazaak kiya tha Abhi ke saath yeh kehkar ke Ruhi apne nani ke ghar gayi hai…. Wo Abhi ki taang khinch rahi thi!!
To be continued in the next update immediately….
