Khamosh Sa Afsaana

Chapter 9

Abhijeet left the room in anger and he didn't even notice DaReya at the door of his room who had listened everything.

Daya sighed & signalled Shreya to go to Tarika. Shreya nodded & went to her where as Daya went to Abhijeet who was in the study.

Shreya called Tarika as "Bhabi.."

Tarika looked at her. Her eyes were teary. She quickly wiped off her tears & tried to smile.

Shreya hold her by shoulder and made her sit on the bed. She started, "Bhabi mujhe pata hai apko Daya ki baaton ka bura laga...per unka koi galat matlab nahi tha...Daya toh aise hi hamesha se...mazak masti...Daya ne mujhe bataya...aur maine apki aur bhaiyya ki baaten bhi sunli...Daya ki taraf se main apse maafi..."

Tarika cut her with, "nahi...nahi...ye ap kya kar rahe hai...apko maafi mangne ki koi zaroorat nahi...wo toh main hoon jo kuch samjhi nahi...Devar ji ki batoon ka bura man liye.."

Shreya smiled at her & exclaimed "Devar ji.., how sweet!"

Tarika smiled shyly.

Shreya started "phir apne Daya ko maaf kar diya na...?"

Tarika nodded smilingly. Then she became sad again. Shreya noticed the sudden change in her expressions & asked, "kya huya bhabi?"

Tarika said "mere wajah se unko gussa agaya...wo kitne khush the aj...aur meri bewakoofi ne sab bigar diya..."

Shreya assured her as, "ap fiker mat kijiye..Daya gaya hai unhe manane...apko pata nahi hai..per Daya k haat mein magic hai. Jab main or Bhaiyya ka kabhi mood off ho jata hai na...toh wo yun chutkiyo mein sab thik kr dete hai...wo bhaiyya ko mana lenge...ap pareshan mat hoyiye.."

Tarika felt contented after talking with Shreya.

In the Study..

Abhijeet was siting on his arm chair with closed eyes. Daya entered inside and put his hand on his shoulder. Abhijeet understood that it was Daya & so told him "Baitho"

Daya sat on the chair beside him.

Daya started, "maine tumhari aur bhabi ki baate sunli..."

Abhijeet opened his eyes and looked at him. Abhijeet thought Daya might have felt bad becoz of Tarika's word.

Abhijeet said, "dekh Daya wo Tarika toh kuch bhi bolti rehti hai...dimag kaharb krke rakh diya...tu uske baton ka bura..."

But he couldn't complete as Daya cut him with, "relax Abhijeet...main kyon manungi unki batoon ka bura...mujhe pata nahi tha ki wo itni jaiada bholi hai...warna main aise mazak.."

Abhijeet said in between his words irritatingly, "bholi nahi...bewakoof hai wo..."

"Abhijeet..tum kuch jaida hi react kr rahe ho..main unke bareme jaida toh nahi janta...per jitna dekha hai..itna toh keh sakta hoon ki wo bohot bholi aur saaf dil ki insaan hai...tum unke sath kuch jaida hi rudely behave krte ho...tum sedhe mooh unke sath thik se baat nahi kr sakte kya?.."

"Daya yaar plz! Maa aur Dad kya kaam the jo tu agaya gyan dene! Main in sab fizool baton mein bilkul interested nahi hoon...tu bohot din baad aya hai..main bohot khush hoon...ab ye sab baaton se mood bigarna nahi chahta...(in low tone) waise bhi usne mood toh already bigar hi diya!..."

Daya listened to him & sighed. He kept himself cool as he knew Abhijeet is not of them who'll change their mind in few secs listening to someone...even though it's his best friend. So, he felt it's better to close the topic for now.

Daya in a jolly tone, "acha thik hai..ye saab baate choro..chalo chalte hai.."

Abhijeet, "kaha?"

Daya, "kaha kya matlab! Iss boring study se bahar...chalo terrace pe chalte hai...bahar ka thanda hawa se tumhara dimag bhi thanda ho jayega"

Abhijeet said sternly, "Daya"

Daya didn't give him a damn & dragged him to the terrace. Two friends talked a lot about their memories, work place, politics, footballs...Daya didn't raise the topic of his marriage & Tarika as he didn't want to spoil the moment.

There Tarika was in her room. She was thinking about her marriage night. The night was very unusual.

Flashback started..

After the 'Bidayi' ritual, Abhijeet & Tarika came to home with Abhijeet's parents. His mother went to bring Puja's thal for the rituals following by his father. When they came back they saw Tarika standing there alone. Abhijeet wasn't there.

Tarika's mother asked "Abhijeet kaha gaya?"

Tarika replied slowly, "pata nahi maa ji.."

Pradyuman called Abhijeet and he picked up the phone.

Pradyuman asked him about his whereabouts. Abhijeet lied saying "mujhe bohot zaroori kaam agaya..."

Pardyuman tried to convince him to come for the rituals but Abhijeet cut the call saying "main baad mein baat karta hoon..."

Pradyuman tried his phone again but it was switched off. Mrinalini asked him, "kaha hai wo?"

Pradyuman, "keh raha tha ki zaroori kaam hai...jhoot bol raha tha...nahi ayega wo...ap bahu ka grihaprabesh karlo.."

Mrinalini nodded understandably & welcomed Tarika. She took Tarika to the room where Abhijeet was staying...Tarika's belongings were brought & shifted to his room.

Soon it was night. Tarika was waiting for Abhijeet. Abhijeet didn't come at home the whole night.

Next day he came back at early morning.

Pradyuman asked him in a tough way, "sari raat kaha the? Aye kyon nahi ghar?"

Abhijeet looked at downward and said, "wo kuch kaam tha...toh dost ke ghar ruk na para"

Mrinalini came and started with, "aisa kya kaam tha jo tum yun bin bole chale gaya...aur toh aur tumhari kal hi shaadi huyi hai...log kya sochenge ki dulha puri raat ghar pe nahi tha..."

Abhijeet frowned with "logo ko kuch bolne k alawa aur koi kaam hi kaha hai...bolne do wo jo bole.."

Pradyuman stated "waah re waah...bolne do jo bole..thik hai...logo ka choro...tumhri patni ko kitna bura laga hoga ki uska pati shaadi k pehli raat hi ghar nahi aya...kaam se kaam uska toh soch lete..."

Abhijeet got angry and replied, "aplog hai na uske liye sochne wale...wo baas aplogo ke bahu hai..meri koi patni nahi hai..."

Pradyuman got angry & stopped him with his stern voice "Abhijeet.."

Abhijeet was no less than him. He went into his room & took out his luggage. His cloths were almost packed...so it didn't take more than 5 min to pack his belongings. He came out with the luggage and declared, "main ja raha hoon yaha se...aplogo ko jab ana ho..ajaiye ga..."

Pradyuman called him but he didn't listen. He drove off from there. Pradyuman & Mrinalini looked at Tarika helplessly who was silent spectator there trying to hold her tears but couldn't.
