Update 36 Eve Of The Last Day
Abhi ne socha sirf pita ke lautne ki vajah se ro rahi hai ya Abhi ko bhi yaad kar rahi hai , abhi se juda hone ke ghum mein bhi ro rahi hai….. aur Abhi ne dekha Ruhi apne pita ke seene se lagi hui to thi magar kum se kum 7 baar Ruhi ki nazrein Abhi par gaye the uss dauraan….
Ab aaguey….
Ruhi ka rona jaise rona nahin tha, Abhi ne socha ke agar wo Ruhi ki jagah hota to itna rota apne pita se 3 saal baad milne par ke rukta hi nahin, aur Ruhi ki uss tarah se rone se Abhi ko lag gaya ke Ruhi uss se bahut kum emotional hai, Abhi ruhi se bahut ziada emotional aur sentimental tha Abhi ne khud se kaha.. magar phir Abhi ne yaad kiya ke kitna royi thi uss in Ruhi jab Abhi ne ussko baahon mein bhada tha….. aur abhi kuch der pehle jab Mehboob ne danta tha donon ko tab kitna royi thi fut fut kar Abhi ke saath… to aaj pita se milne ke baad kyun wo nahin royi? Haan shayad bahot ro chuki thi kuch der pehle Abhi ke saath aur wapas ghar men bhag gayi to jaakar khub royi hogi, saare ansoo sukh gaye honge….
Aur thodi der baad jab Ruhi ke father ghar ke andar chala gaya to Abhi ne dekha ke Ruhi ussko dekh rahi hai terrace par khadi, usski badi behen usske saath thi. Abhi ne socha ab kaise usske paas khadi hai? Socha ke shaayad usski badi behen saath hai iss liye, Abhi ke paas aagayi hai…. Aur achanak Ruhi ki badi behen ne Abhi ko ishara kiya…. Abhi nahin samjha to pucha kia keh rahi hai to badi behen ne kaha ussko matlab Ruhi ko kuch kehna hai… Abhi bahot khush hua aur terrace par gaya puchne ke Ruhi kia keh rahi hai. Ruhi ne normal tarike se kaha,
“Aaj last din hai aap ka yahan ya kal phir ana hoga!”
Abhi ko ek baat yaad aayi aur kaha,
“kyun bala tal jaega agar mera ana end hua to?!”
Ruhi ne kaha,
“Aapne aaj tak uss baat ko dil se lagaya hua hai Abhi?”
Abhi ne ek gahri saans lete hue kaha,
“Tumhari kaun si baat ko main ne dil se nahin lagaya hai Ruhi? Kissi din tumko dikhaunga ya padhne ko dunga tab padh lena ke tumhare kiss kiss chiz ko main ne dil se lagaya hua hai”
Ruhi ki badi behen Abhi ko upar se niche dekh rahi thi bina muskurahat ke, bina kissi bhi feeling ya emotion ke, lagta tha wo samajhne ki koshish kar rahi hai ke Abhi sahi ladka hai ya nahin Ruhi ke liye. To Ruhi mudh kar apni badi behen ko dekhte hue uss se kaha,
“Dekha na di, aise hi baat karta hai, itna tez hai ke pucho mat, maa bhi innse kabhi nahin jeet sakti, he is too intelligent.”
To Abhi ne Ruhi se kaha,
“Achah thodi der mein tumhare papa se baat karne aunga, kaam end hone ke baad, wash kar lunga tab okay… tum sath dogi nah, kahin tumhare papa yeh nah samjhe ke mera pyar ek tarfa hai kaha tha nah main ne khat mein?!”
Ruhi pehle apni behen ko dekh kar muskuraayi, tab Abhi ko dekh kar hanssi, phir apne chehre par ek sikanjh late hue kaha,
“uff issi liye main puchne aayi ke aaj kaam end hoga ya nahin, no, Abhi mere papa se kuch nahin kehna hai, main nahin chahti ke aap uss se abhi kuch bhi kaho!”
Abhi puchne hi jaa raha tha ke kyun tab tak Ruhi ki badi behen ne Abhi se kaha,
“Wo abhi abhi aaye hein thake honge aur itni badi baat unn se kehna achah nahin lagega, kal aap baat kar lena!”
Abhi ne kaha,
“aur agar aaj kaam end ho gaya, to main kal sirf unn se milne ke liye aa sakta hoon nah?!”
Ruhi ne khud kaha,
“yes of course aap aa sakte ho kiss ne mana kiya aap ko?!”
Abhi ne turant kaha,
“YAAD RAKHUNGA ISS BAAT KO”
Ruhi ne hanss diye tab Abhi ne phir kaha,
“Ab agle 24 hours ke beech tumhare papa ke kaan bhare jaa sakte hein mere khilaaf, to agar ussko accept bhi karna hota tab na karega, aur agar abhi iss se pehle ke usse koyi kuch kahe, main seedha jaa kar baat kar lun to bahut behtar hoga mere khayal se…”
Ruhi ki badi behen ne kaha,
“aap ne kia ghalat kiya hai jo koyi aap ke khilaaf kuch kahega? Kia aap ne koyi ghalat kaam kiya hai? Nahin nah? To kaun kuch bhi keh sakta hai mere papa ko aap ke khilaaf?!”
Abhi ne kuch nahin kaha tab tak Tony ne Abhi ko help ke liye bulaya to ussko jaana pada aur donon andar chale gaye.
Magar Abhi ko sahi nahin lag raha tha ke kal tak baat ko roke, wo Ruhi ke father se issi waqt baat karna chahta tha, iss liye kuch der baad Ruhi ki maa dikhi to Abhi uss se puchne gaya aur kaha,
“main ab ata hoon Ruhi ke papa se baat karne aaun kia?!”
Ruhi ki maa ne kaha,
“Are hum log Ruhi ki nani ke yahan jaa rahe hein wo bimaar hai nah, Ruhi ke papa ussko dekhne jaa rahe hein abhi issi waqt.”
Raat 7.30 ko extention electric wire mein bulb lagaa kar kaam kar rahe the Abhi aur team. Sab samajh rahe the ke raat ke barah baje tak sab kaam end ho jayenge iss liye complete karna chahte the. Ye pehli baar tha ke itna der raat ko bhi kaam jaari tha bus mein. Aur Abhi ne dekha ke Ruhi ka baap aur baaki ke log jaa rahe hein usske nani ke ghar car mein. Ruhi bhi jaa rahi thi. Ussne ek nayi dress pehni thi jissko aaj pehli baar Abhi dekh raha tha, iss se pehle Ruhi ne kabhi nahin pehni thi wo dress. Kamaal ki khubsurat dikh rahi thi, kayamat lag rahi thi aur Abhi paagal hone laga tha ussko uss tarah dekh kar…. Ruhi ne jaate jaate kayi baar Abhi ke taraf dekha, varna ussko pata tha shayad ke Abhi baad mein kehta ke tumne jaate hue mujhko ek nazar bhi nahin dekha. Abhi bhi ussi ko ghurre jaa raha tha, phir zor se Abhi “pyar karte hein hum tumhein itna” whistle karne laga.
Phir bus ke andar Manoj paint kar raha tha chhote chhote jagahon par ek paint brush se. Sunil ne ussko wo karne ko kaha tha, jiss jiss jagah par air holes jo ceilings mein hota hai, Abhi fix kar raha tha, sabhi unn jagahon ke niche Manoj paint kar raha tha, iss liye Manoj aur Abhi ek saath kaam kar rahe the. Itni jaldi thi sab kuch finish karne ke liye family ke saare log help kar rahe the…To Abhi ne Manoj se pucha,
“tum apne nani ko dekhne nahin gaye?”
Manoj ne muskuraate hue kaha,
“nahin main nahin gaya, meri maa, papa aur behen gaye…”
Jab ‘behen’ word kaha Manoj ne to hansste hue Abhi ke chehre mein dekha tab kaha, “Ruhi gayi hai saath”
Abhi ne muskurate hue socha,
“saale ko pata hai ke main Ruhi ko chahta hoon issi liye hanss kar Ruhi ka naam alag se liya behen kehne ke baad”
Tab Abhi ne pucha,
“kaafi door gaye hein nah? bahut late wapas ayenge nah?”
Manoj ne phir hansste hue kaha,
“nahin ziada late nahin ayenge, tum yahin honge, unn se mil paoge, weh log wapas ajayenge dekh lena…”
Abhi ko pakka yakeen ho gaya ke Manoj ko sab kuch pata hai Ruhi aur usske baare mein.
Aur Manoj ne yeh bhi kaha Abhi se,
“main ne baaki ke rolls develop karne ko de diya hai, kal photos mil jaenge wo tumko de dunga kal hi, okay, aur akhri ekaat pics jo lunga road par wo phir kabhi kissi tarah tum tak pahuncha dunga.”
Dinner Mehboob ke ghar kiya Abhi aur team ne. Aur raat ko kaam jaari raha bus mein. Abhi pray karne laga ke Ruhi wapas aajaye Abhi ke wapas jaane se pehle…. Raat ko aaj tak kabhi kaam nahin kiya tha uss aangan mein Abhi ne…. Aur mahaul kuch aisa tha ke Abhi ko wo raat yaad ane lagi jiss raat ko wo Ruhi ke ghar par ruka tha…. iss aangan mein iss bus ke piche kiss kiye the donon ne eisi hi raat ke andhere mein…. Wohi fiza thi, wohi khusbhoo thi baahar ke hawaaon mein, aur Abhi ko Ruhi ki baahon ki khushbhoo yaad aayi, usski jakar mein jo komalta tha wo yaad aya, kiss tarah uss raat ko Ruhi ne kapde change kiye the usske samne wo yaad aya Abhi ko aur wo tadapne laga Ruhi ke liye…..
Abhi Ruhi ko dekhna chahta tha, ussko baahon mein phir bharne ki chaah jagi Abhi ke andar, usska dil Ruhi ko yaad karne laga aur Abhi ne asmaan ke taraf sar utha kar kaha,
“Ey upar waale, ey zameen aasmaan banana wale, ey chand sitaare banaane wale, bhej de meri Ruhi ko mera paas, mera dil machalne laga hai ussko dekhne ke liye”
Duah turant kubool hui aur car ne aangan mein entry li, Ruhi car se utri apne parents ke saath. Raat ke 10.30 hue the. Car thik Abhi ke bagal mein ruki, aur jiss jagah Ruhi ko car se utarna tha wo thik Abhi ke side mein tha…. kyunke Andhera tha, kissi ko dikhta nahin to Abhi ne Ruhi ka haath pakar liya…. Ruhi chhuraane ki koshish kar rahi thi magar Abhi chorr nahin raha tha iss liye Ruhi ko khamosh wahi khada rehna pada varna koyi bhi dekh leta ke wo Abhi ke haath se apna haath chhura rahi hai, magar yeh sirf koyi 15 seconds tak hua kyunke tab tak usski maa bhi car se nikli aur Abhi ko Ruhi ka haath chorrna pada….
Assal mein Abhi ne socha tha sabke saamne Ruhi ko apne baahon mein kasske bhar lene ko, sabke saamne, Mehboob ke, usski maa ke, Ruhi ke pita ke, Manoj ke, Mahesh ke, Ruhi ki behen aur behnoy ke saamne Ruhi ko kaske apne bahon bharkar eylaan karne ko ke wo Ruhi se beinteha pyar karta hai aur aaj issi waqt usske pita se usska haath mangta hai shaadi ke liye…. Abhi ek vision jaise kar raha tha, jaise filmon mein flashback aate hai nah, weise Abhi khud uss scene ko apne khayaalon mein dekh raha tha uss waqt Ruhi ka haath chorrne ke baad.
Aur jab Ruhi ka haath chorr diya Abhi ne, tab tak usski maa nikli car se, Ruhi ne apni kalaayi massalte hue Abhi ko teerchi nazar se dekha aur ussko jeeb se chidhaate hue ghar ke taraf jaane lagi, aur Ruhi ki maa ne Abhi se kaha,
“Abhi itna late kaam kar rahe ho aaj? Finish nahin hua kia?”
Abhi ne jawaab diya,
“haan dekha nah raat ke 11 bajne ko hai aur kaam kar raha hoon aur pata nahin kaun aap ke kaan bhar rahe hein ke main nikkamma hoon… nahin finish nahin hua lagta hai kal bhi ana padega, aur kal pakka LAST day hoga iss bus mein kaam ki!!”
Abhi ko to bahot Khushi ho rahi tha ke ussko aur ana padega us aangan mein kaam karne ko kal bhi.
Ruhi ki maa ne terrace par rukte hue Abhi ko haath ke ishare se bulaya, wo gaya uss se baat karne aur bus ke andar se Manoj apni maa ko Abhi se baat karte hue dekh kar hanss raha tha, aur Ruhi lounge mein kadhi dekh rahi thi ab tak apne kalaayi ko massalte hue jahan Abhi ne zor se ussko pakra tha jab wo car se nikli thi to, aur Abhi ko ishaare se dikha rahi thi ke Abhi ke panje ka nishaan ban gaya hai Ruhi ki kalaayi par, Ruhi ne munh banaate hue apni kalaayi Abhi ko dikhaya aur jaise apne nazron se keh rahi thi, “dekho tumne mere kalaayi par nishaan bana diya apne panje ka, kitna zor ke pakra tha meri kalaayi ko!”
Aur Ruhi ki maa ne Abhi se kaha,
“Abhi mujhe afsos hai ke main tumko NAH kehti hoon ab Ruhi ke liye final word hai NO!”
Abhi ki awaaz nahin nikli…. Wo khamosh raha aur Ruhi ko dekhta raha lounge mein, full lights the Ruhi par, chamak rahi thi apni nayi dress mein, chehre par jaise ek noor thi Ruhi ke, aur Abhi uskso dekhte hue soch raaha tha ke kia yeh hoor, yeh pari meri nahin hogi? Aisa ho nahin sakta, kal to isske papa se main baat karke hi rahunga chahe kuch bhi ho jaaye.”
Kaam jaari raha raat ke 00.30 tak. Abhi raat ko bhi Ruhi ke ghar ke taraf dekh raha tha, aur apne gaane ki tune ki seeti baja raha tha, iss umeed se ke Ruhi soyi nahin hogi, iss liye ke wo iss waqt tak kaam raha the aur Ruhi sunein aur baahar aakar ussko dekhe….. magar wo to sapnon mein Abhi ko seeti bajaate hue dekh rahi hogi uss waqt.
Subha ke 1 baje Abhi aur team ko ek car ghar wapas chorrne gaya, car ko Mehboob ne rent kiya tha.
Subha 3 baje tak Abhi ne sab kuch likha apne diary mein aur last line ko bold mein yeh likh kkar diary ko band kiya,
“TOMORROW IS THE LAST DAY I WILL WORK THERE. I HOPE TO COME BACK HERE TOMORROW AND WRITE THAT RUHI’S PARENTS ACCEPTED AND NOW RUHI IS MINE.”

“Tumhari kaun si baat ko main ne dil se nahin lagaya hai Ruhi? Kissi din tumko dikhaunga ya padhne ko dunga tab padh lena ke tumhare kiss kiss chiz ko main ne dil se lagaya hua hai”
Ruhi ki badi behen Abhi ko upar se niche dekh rahi thi bina muskurahat ke, bina kissi bhi feeling ya emotion ke, lagta tha wo samajhne ki koshish kar rahi hai ke Abhi sahi ladka hai ya nahin Ruhi ke liye. To Ruhi mudh kar apni badi behen ko dekhte hue uss se kaha,
“Dekha na di, aise hi baat karta hai, itna tez hai ke pucho mat, maa bhi innse kabhi nahin jeet sakti, he is too intelligent.”
To Abhi ne Ruhi se kaha,
“Achah thodi der mein tumhare papa se baat karne aunga, kaam end hone ke baad, wash kar lunga tab okay… tum sath dogi nah, kahin tumhare papa yeh nah samjhe ke mera pyar ek tarfa hai kaha tha nah main ne khat mein?!”
Ruhi pehle apni behen ko dekh kar muskuraayi, tab Abhi ko dekh kar hanssi, phir apne chehre par ek sikanjh late hue kaha,
“uff issi liye main puchne aayi ke aaj kaam end hoga ya nahin, no, Abhi mere papa se kuch nahin kehna hai, main nahin chahti ke aap uss se abhi kuch bhi kaho!”
Abhi puchne hi jaa raha tha ke kyun tab tak Ruhi ki badi behen ne Abhi se kaha,
“Wo abhi abhi aaye hein thake honge aur itni badi baat unn se kehna achah nahin lagega, kal aap baat kar lena!”
Abhi ne kaha,
“aur agar aaj kaam end ho gaya, to main kal sirf unn se milne ke liye aa sakta hoon nah?!”
Ruhi ne khud kaha,
“yes of course aap aa sakte ho kiss ne mana kiya aap ko?!”
Abhi ne turant kaha,
“YAAD RAKHUNGA ISS BAAT KO”
Ruhi ne hanss diye tab Abhi ne phir kaha,
“Ab agle 24 hours ke beech tumhare papa ke kaan bhare jaa sakte hein mere khilaaf, to agar ussko accept bhi karna hota tab na karega, aur agar abhi iss se pehle ke usse koyi kuch kahe, main seedha jaa kar baat kar lun to bahut behtar hoga mere khayal se…”
Ruhi ki badi behen ne kaha,
“aap ne kia ghalat kiya hai jo koyi aap ke khilaaf kuch kahega? Kia aap ne koyi ghalat kaam kiya hai? Nahin nah? To kaun kuch bhi keh sakta hai mere papa ko aap ke khilaaf?!”
Abhi ne kuch nahin kaha tab tak Tony ne Abhi ko help ke liye bulaya to ussko jaana pada aur donon andar chale gaye.
Magar Abhi ko sahi nahin lag raha tha ke kal tak baat ko roke, wo Ruhi ke father se issi waqt baat karna chahta tha, iss liye kuch der baad Ruhi ki maa dikhi to Abhi uss se puchne gaya aur kaha,
“main ab ata hoon Ruhi ke papa se baat karne aaun kia?!”
Ruhi ki maa ne kaha,
“Are hum log Ruhi ki nani ke yahan jaa rahe hein wo bimaar hai nah, Ruhi ke papa ussko dekhne jaa rahe hein abhi issi waqt.”
Raat 7.30 ko extention electric wire mein bulb lagaa kar kaam kar rahe the Abhi aur team. Sab samajh rahe the ke raat ke barah baje tak sab kaam end ho jayenge iss liye complete karna chahte the. Ye pehli baar tha ke itna der raat ko bhi kaam jaari tha bus mein. Aur Abhi ne dekha ke Ruhi ka baap aur baaki ke log jaa rahe hein usske nani ke ghar car mein. Ruhi bhi jaa rahi thi. Ussne ek nayi dress pehni thi jissko aaj pehli baar Abhi dekh raha tha, iss se pehle Ruhi ne kabhi nahin pehni thi wo dress. Kamaal ki khubsurat dikh rahi thi, kayamat lag rahi thi aur Abhi paagal hone laga tha ussko uss tarah dekh kar…. Ruhi ne jaate jaate kayi baar Abhi ke taraf dekha, varna ussko pata tha shayad ke Abhi baad mein kehta ke tumne jaate hue mujhko ek nazar bhi nahin dekha. Abhi bhi ussi ko ghurre jaa raha tha, phir zor se Abhi “pyar karte hein hum tumhein itna” whistle karne laga.
Phir bus ke andar Manoj paint kar raha tha chhote chhote jagahon par ek paint brush se. Sunil ne ussko wo karne ko kaha tha, jiss jiss jagah par air holes jo ceilings mein hota hai, Abhi fix kar raha tha, sabhi unn jagahon ke niche Manoj paint kar raha tha, iss liye Manoj aur Abhi ek saath kaam kar rahe the. Itni jaldi thi sab kuch finish karne ke liye family ke saare log help kar rahe the…To Abhi ne Manoj se pucha,
“tum apne nani ko dekhne nahin gaye?”
Manoj ne muskuraate hue kaha,
“nahin main nahin gaya, meri maa, papa aur behen gaye…”
Jab ‘behen’ word kaha Manoj ne to hansste hue Abhi ke chehre mein dekha tab kaha, “Ruhi gayi hai saath”
Abhi ne muskurate hue socha,
“saale ko pata hai ke main Ruhi ko chahta hoon issi liye hanss kar Ruhi ka naam alag se liya behen kehne ke baad”
Tab Abhi ne pucha,
“kaafi door gaye hein nah? bahut late wapas ayenge nah?”
Manoj ne phir hansste hue kaha,
“nahin ziada late nahin ayenge, tum yahin honge, unn se mil paoge, weh log wapas ajayenge dekh lena…”
Abhi ko pakka yakeen ho gaya ke Manoj ko sab kuch pata hai Ruhi aur usske baare mein.
Aur Manoj ne yeh bhi kaha Abhi se,
“main ne baaki ke rolls develop karne ko de diya hai, kal photos mil jaenge wo tumko de dunga kal hi, okay, aur akhri ekaat pics jo lunga road par wo phir kabhi kissi tarah tum tak pahuncha dunga.”
Dinner Mehboob ke ghar kiya Abhi aur team ne. Aur raat ko kaam jaari raha bus mein. Abhi pray karne laga ke Ruhi wapas aajaye Abhi ke wapas jaane se pehle…. Raat ko aaj tak kabhi kaam nahin kiya tha uss aangan mein Abhi ne…. Aur mahaul kuch aisa tha ke Abhi ko wo raat yaad ane lagi jiss raat ko wo Ruhi ke ghar par ruka tha…. iss aangan mein iss bus ke piche kiss kiye the donon ne eisi hi raat ke andhere mein…. Wohi fiza thi, wohi khusbhoo thi baahar ke hawaaon mein, aur Abhi ko Ruhi ki baahon ki khushbhoo yaad aayi, usski jakar mein jo komalta tha wo yaad aya, kiss tarah uss raat ko Ruhi ne kapde change kiye the usske samne wo yaad aya Abhi ko aur wo tadapne laga Ruhi ke liye…..
Abhi Ruhi ko dekhna chahta tha, ussko baahon mein phir bharne ki chaah jagi Abhi ke andar, usska dil Ruhi ko yaad karne laga aur Abhi ne asmaan ke taraf sar utha kar kaha,
“Ey upar waale, ey zameen aasmaan banana wale, ey chand sitaare banaane wale, bhej de meri Ruhi ko mera paas, mera dil machalne laga hai ussko dekhne ke liye”
Duah turant kubool hui aur car ne aangan mein entry li, Ruhi car se utri apne parents ke saath. Raat ke 10.30 hue the. Car thik Abhi ke bagal mein ruki, aur jiss jagah Ruhi ko car se utarna tha wo thik Abhi ke side mein tha…. kyunke Andhera tha, kissi ko dikhta nahin to Abhi ne Ruhi ka haath pakar liya…. Ruhi chhuraane ki koshish kar rahi thi magar Abhi chorr nahin raha tha iss liye Ruhi ko khamosh wahi khada rehna pada varna koyi bhi dekh leta ke wo Abhi ke haath se apna haath chhura rahi hai, magar yeh sirf koyi 15 seconds tak hua kyunke tab tak usski maa bhi car se nikli aur Abhi ko Ruhi ka haath chorrna pada….
Assal mein Abhi ne socha tha sabke saamne Ruhi ko apne baahon mein kasske bhar lene ko, sabke saamne, Mehboob ke, usski maa ke, Ruhi ke pita ke, Manoj ke, Mahesh ke, Ruhi ki behen aur behnoy ke saamne Ruhi ko kaske apne bahon bharkar eylaan karne ko ke wo Ruhi se beinteha pyar karta hai aur aaj issi waqt usske pita se usska haath mangta hai shaadi ke liye…. Abhi ek vision jaise kar raha tha, jaise filmon mein flashback aate hai nah, weise Abhi khud uss scene ko apne khayaalon mein dekh raha tha uss waqt Ruhi ka haath chorrne ke baad.
Aur jab Ruhi ka haath chorr diya Abhi ne, tab tak usski maa nikli car se, Ruhi ne apni kalaayi massalte hue Abhi ko teerchi nazar se dekha aur ussko jeeb se chidhaate hue ghar ke taraf jaane lagi, aur Ruhi ki maa ne Abhi se kaha,
“Abhi itna late kaam kar rahe ho aaj? Finish nahin hua kia?”
Abhi ne jawaab diya,
“haan dekha nah raat ke 11 bajne ko hai aur kaam kar raha hoon aur pata nahin kaun aap ke kaan bhar rahe hein ke main nikkamma hoon… nahin finish nahin hua lagta hai kal bhi ana padega, aur kal pakka LAST day hoga iss bus mein kaam ki!!”
Abhi ko to bahot Khushi ho rahi tha ke ussko aur ana padega us aangan mein kaam karne ko kal bhi.
Ruhi ki maa ne terrace par rukte hue Abhi ko haath ke ishare se bulaya, wo gaya uss se baat karne aur bus ke andar se Manoj apni maa ko Abhi se baat karte hue dekh kar hanss raha tha, aur Ruhi lounge mein kadhi dekh rahi thi ab tak apne kalaayi ko massalte hue jahan Abhi ne zor se ussko pakra tha jab wo car se nikli thi to, aur Abhi ko ishaare se dikha rahi thi ke Abhi ke panje ka nishaan ban gaya hai Ruhi ki kalaayi par, Ruhi ne munh banaate hue apni kalaayi Abhi ko dikhaya aur jaise apne nazron se keh rahi thi, “dekho tumne mere kalaayi par nishaan bana diya apne panje ka, kitna zor ke pakra tha meri kalaayi ko!”
Aur Ruhi ki maa ne Abhi se kaha,
“Abhi mujhe afsos hai ke main tumko NAH kehti hoon ab Ruhi ke liye final word hai NO!”
Abhi ki awaaz nahin nikli…. Wo khamosh raha aur Ruhi ko dekhta raha lounge mein, full lights the Ruhi par, chamak rahi thi apni nayi dress mein, chehre par jaise ek noor thi Ruhi ke, aur Abhi uskso dekhte hue soch raaha tha ke kia yeh hoor, yeh pari meri nahin hogi? Aisa ho nahin sakta, kal to isske papa se main baat karke hi rahunga chahe kuch bhi ho jaaye.”
Kaam jaari raha raat ke 00.30 tak. Abhi raat ko bhi Ruhi ke ghar ke taraf dekh raha tha, aur apne gaane ki tune ki seeti baja raha tha, iss umeed se ke Ruhi soyi nahin hogi, iss liye ke wo iss waqt tak kaam raha the aur Ruhi sunein aur baahar aakar ussko dekhe….. magar wo to sapnon mein Abhi ko seeti bajaate hue dekh rahi hogi uss waqt.
Subha ke 1 baje Abhi aur team ko ek car ghar wapas chorrne gaya, car ko Mehboob ne rent kiya tha.
Subha 3 baje tak Abhi ne sab kuch likha apne diary mein aur last line ko bold mein yeh likh kkar diary ko band kiya,
“TOMORROW IS THE LAST DAY I WILL WORK THERE. I HOPE TO COME BACK HERE TOMORROW AND WRITE THAT RUHI’S PARENTS ACCEPTED AND NOW RUHI IS MINE.”
To be continued….
That was fabulous Casinar ji. The part Ruhi holding her wrist showing Abhi that he held her hand too strong as she had Abhi's fingerprints left there was cute...ey upar wale, ey zameen aasman banane wale, ey chand sitaare banane wale, bhej de meri Ruhi ko mere paas, mera dil machalne laga hai ussko dekhne ke liye"
Duah turant qubool hui aur car ne aangan mein entry li, Ruhi car se nikli
Kia casi bhai, dard mita nahin aur bhi badh gaya Abhi ke liye ab to.Update 36 Eve Of The Last Day
Abhi ne socha sirf pita ke lautne ki vajah se ro rahi hai ya Abhi ko bhi yaad kar rahi hai , abhi se juda hone ke ghum mein bhi ro rahi hai….. aur Abhi ne dekha Ruhi apne pita ke seene se lagi hui to thi magar kum se kum 7 baar Ruhi ki nazrein Abhi par gaye the uss dauraan….
Ab aaguey….
Ruhi ka rona jaise rona nahin tha, Abhi ne socha ke agar wo Ruhi ki jagah hota to itna rota apne pita se 3 saal baad milne par ke rukta hi nahin, aur Ruhi ki uss tarah se rone se Abhi ko lag gaya ke Ruhi uss se bahut kum emotional hai, Abhi ruhi se bahut ziada emotional aur sentimental tha Abhi ne khud se kaha.. magar phir Abhi ne yaad kiya ke kitna royi thi uss in Ruhi jab Abhi ne ussko baahon mein bhada tha….. aur abhi kuch der pehle jab Mehboob ne danta tha donon ko tab kitna royi thi fut fut kar Abhi ke saath… to aaj pita se milne ke baad kyun wo nahin royi? Haan shayad bahot ro chuki thi kuch der pehle Abhi ke saath aur wapas ghar men bhag gayi to jaakar khub royi hogi, saare ansoo sukh gaye honge….
Aur thodi der baad jab Ruhi ke father ghar ke andar chala gaya to Abhi ne dekha ke Ruhi ussko dekh rahi hai terrace par khadi, usski badi behen usske saath thi. Abhi ne socha ab kaise usske paas khadi hai? Socha ke shaayad usski badi behen saath hai iss liye, Abhi ke paas aagayi hai…. Aur achanak Ruhi ki badi behen ne Abhi ko ishara kiya…. Abhi nahin samjha to pucha kia keh rahi hai to badi behen ne kaha ussko matlab Ruhi ko kuch kehna hai… Abhi bahot khush hua aur terrace par gaya puchne ke Ruhi kia keh rahi hai. Ruhi ne normal tarike se kaha,
“Aaj last din hai aap ka yahan ya kal phir ana hoga!”
Abhi ko ek baat yaad aayi aur kaha,
“kyun bala tal jaega agar mera ana end hua to?!”
Ruhi ne kaha,
“Aapne aaj tak uss baat ko dil se lagaya hua hai Abhi?”
Abhi ne ek gahri saans lete hue kaha,
“Tumhari kaun si baat ko main ne dil se nahin lagaya hai Ruhi? Kissi din tumko dikhaunga ya padhne ko dunga tab padh lena ke tumhare kiss kiss chiz ko main ne dil se lagaya hua hai”
Ruhi ki badi behen Abhi ko upar se niche dekh rahi thi bina muskurahat ke, bina kissi bhi feeling ya emotion ke, lagta tha wo samajhne ki koshish kar rahi hai ke Abhi sahi ladka hai ya nahin Ruhi ke liye. To Ruhi mudh kar apni badi behen ko dekhte hue uss se kaha,
“Dekha na di, aise hi baat karta hai, itna tez hai ke pucho mat, maa bhi innse kabhi nahin jeet sakti, he is too intelligent.”
To Abhi ne Ruhi se kaha,
“Achah thodi der mein tumhare papa se baat karne aunga, kaam end hone ke baad, wash kar lunga tab okay… tum sath dogi nah, kahin tumhare papa yeh nah samjhe ke mera pyar ek tarfa hai kaha tha nah main ne khat mein?!”
Ruhi pehle apni behen ko dekh kar muskuraayi, tab Abhi ko dekh kar hanssi, phir apne chehre par ek sikanjh late hue kaha,
“uff issi liye main puchne aayi ke aaj kaam end hoga ya nahin, no, Abhi mere papa se kuch nahin kehna hai, main nahin chahti ke aap uss se abhi kuch bhi kaho!”
Abhi puchne hi jaa raha tha ke kyun tab tak Ruhi ki badi behen ne Abhi se kaha,
“Wo abhi abhi aaye hein thake honge aur itni badi baat unn se kehna achah nahin lagega, kal aap baat kar lena!”
Abhi ne kaha,
“aur agar aaj kaam end ho gaya, to main kal sirf unn se milne ke liye aa sakta hoon nah?!”
Ruhi ne khud kaha,
“yes of course aap aa sakte ho kiss ne mana kiya aap ko?!”
Abhi ne turant kaha,
“YAAD RAKHUNGA ISS BAAT KO”
Ruhi ne hanss diye tab Abhi ne phir kaha,
“Ab agle 24 hours ke beech tumhare papa ke kaan bhare jaa sakte hein mere khilaaf, to agar ussko accept bhi karna hota tab na karega, aur agar abhi iss se pehle ke usse koyi kuch kahe, main seedha jaa kar baat kar lun to bahut behtar hoga mere khayal se…”
Ruhi ki badi behen ne kaha,
“aap ne kia ghalat kiya hai jo koyi aap ke khilaaf kuch kahega? Kia aap ne koyi ghalat kaam kiya hai? Nahin nah? To kaun kuch bhi keh sakta hai mere papa ko aap ke khilaaf?!”
Abhi ne kuch nahin kaha tab tak Tony ne Abhi ko help ke liye bulaya to ussko jaana pada aur donon andar chale gaye.
