UPDATE 219
[Dev aur Maa ke beech ek gehri baat]
Main: "Maa, main toh bilkul haka-baka reh gaya hoon. Aap yeh kya keh rahi hain? Akhir koi aur baat hai kya?"
Maa: "Beta, ab kuch mat puchh… sab kuch thik nahi hai."
Main (tez aur desperate): "Maa, ab aur mat chhupaiye mujhse. Sach bataiye."
Maa: "Baat yeh hai ki…"
Ek lambi chhup ke baad:
"Jab tu khunkhaar banega… tab tu sabko maar dega, beta. Sabko. Koi nahi bachega."
Main (shock aur disbelief mein): "Nahi, maa! Aap mujhpe vishwas kariye, main kabhi aisa nahi karunga. Main aapke saath hoon."
Maa: "Tabhi toh tere dad bhi tujhe RAW ke kaam mein shamil nahi karna chahte. Woh jaante hain ki yeh tujhe tabah kar dega."
Main (emotionally hurt): "Toh phir itne din kyun chup rahi maa? Mujhe kyun nahi bataya yeh sab?"
Maa: "Bas… dar lagta tha. Tujhe khona nahi chahti thi."
Main (samajhne ki koshish mein): "Tabhi main sochta hoon, meri shaktiyon ka pata chalte hi bhi aap log itne normal kaise the… jaise aapko sab pehle se pata ho."
Maa: "Jab tere saath woh haadsa hua tha, tab mujhe laga tha ki shayad sab jhooth kaha gaya hai. Par baad mein… sab sach nikla."

[Emotional Tension - Saloni aur Mere Rishte ki Baat]
Main (thoda hesitant): "Maa… kya aapko mere aur Saloni ke rishte se koi problem hai?"
Maa: "Abhi tune hi kaha tha na… 'Woh hai toh tu hai, aur tu hai toh woh hai'? Toh mujhe kaise problem ho sakti hai? Yahan toh log apne balatkaari bete ko bhi bacha lete hain… aur main apne heere jaise bachchon ko dukh doon, yeh mujhse nahi hoga."
Main (andar hi andar kuch sochta hua):
"Neha ka sab bata doon…? Par abhi sahi waqt nahi hai. Jitna mila hai, usme khush rehna sikh raha hoon."
Maa: "Par Akhil ka kya karein?"
Main (thoda gusse mein): "Maine usse chhod diya hai, maa. Woh rishta tod diya maine."
Maa: "Waise tum dono (main aur Saloni) sach mein itna pyaar karte ho ki duniya walon ki koi parwah hi nahi hai tumhe."
Main (ek halki muskaan ke saath): "Maa, main toh sabse aise hi pyaar karta hoon, jaise mujhe kisi ki parwah hi na ho… aap aur papa ko chhodkar."
Maa (thoda hansi mein): "Mere shararati aur natkhat beta, bas ek baat samajh le. RAW ke kaam mein phir mat jaana. Woh tujhe khunkhaar banake teri zindagi ko chhod degi."
Main (andar hi andar sochta hua):
"Maa sahi keh rahi hai. Jab main kisi ko maarta hoon, toh ek ajeeb sa junoon chha jaata hai. Kahi naak kaat dena, aankhein phod dena, sab kuch barbaad karna… sab kuch alag lagta hai."
Main: "Maa, filhaal aap gusse mein rahiye mujhse aur Saloni didi se."
Maa (mere kaan pakad ke): "Abhi bhi 'didi didi' laga rakha hai?"
Main (muskarate hue): "Sorry maa, adat hai."
Maa (mere kaan chhodte hue): "Adat sudhar. Aur ghar mein koi awaragardi nahi."
Main: "Theek hai, maa. Chale ab?"
Maa: "Haan chal."

[Shopping ka Plan – Maa ke Hukum aur Mere Ideas]
Ghar pahuchne ke baad Maa gusse mein boli:
"Sona, Masoom… tum dono iske saath shopping par jao. Aur main Riccha ke saath kuch aur kaam se ja rahi hoon."
Sabne ek saath jawab diya: "Haan, maa."
Masoom: "Maa, kya main Saloni ko le jaaun?"
Maa (Masoom ko ghoorti hui): "Haan, le jao. Kayin dino se ghar mein padi hai."
Masoom upar ki taraf bhaagti hai jaise usse khazana mil gaya ho.
Maa (mujhse): "Beta, woh Rima didi ke liye kapde lena mat bhoolna."
Main: "Ji maa, le aaunga. Ab chalta hoon. Sona, jao tayaar ho jao."
Sona: "Par mere paas yahan kapde nahi hain."
Main: "Jao Neha ke pehno. Tumhe fit ho jayenge. Waise maa, Neha hai kahan?"
Maa (thoda irritate ho kar): "Main toh pareshaan ho gayi hoon iss ladki se. Aur inn dono pagal se."
Main: "Kya hua maa?"
Maa: "Ek toh woh hai jo ghar aati hi nahi. Dost ke saath gum rehti hai. Aur yeh dono (Pari aur Kirti) apne aap mein na jaane kya kya karti rehti hain."
Main (Pari aur Kirti ki taraf): "Kyun Pari, Kirti? Yeh sab kya hai?"
Pari (kuch chhupane ki koshish mein): "Kuch nahi bhai. Bas aise hi. Aap jaaiye."
Main (tez aur serious): "Aakar milunga tum dono se. Tayaar rehna jawab dene ke liye
A Tense Revelation
Shopping mall ke andar har taraf khushi ka maahol tha. Masoom, Pari, Kirti, Neha, Ritu aur Shikha ke liye saman lena aur unhe khush dekhna mere liye ek sukoon bhara pal tha. Lekin kahi na kahi sona ke sad chehre ne mujhe chinta mein daal diya tha. Main jaanta tha ki woh meri wajah se udas thi. Mujhe lagta tha ki meri decisions ne sabki zindagiyon ko thoda hila diya hai. Lekin main bhi insaan hoon, sab kuch theek karna meri kshamata ke bahar lagta hai.
(Masoom interrupts)
Masoom mujhe hilate hue boli, “Kya sochne lage?”
Sona ne haan bhari, “Yahi ki yeh (meri taraf ishara karte hue) humein khush nahi rakh paa rahe hai.”
Masoom hasi aur bola, “Pagal toh nahi ho gayi ho? Hum sab bahut khush hain!”
Main muskara kar unki baatein sun raha tha, aur bola, “Accha chal, tumne woh maa ke diye hue list ka saara saman le liya hai naa?”
Sona thoda khilkhilakar boli, “Haan, saloni ji le rahi hai udhar se.”
Main apni hansi nahi rok paaya, “Aur tumne apne liye sab kuch liya hai na, sab?”
Masoom ne fatafat jawaab diya, “Haan, aur Pari, Kirti, Neha, Ritu aur Shikha ji ke liye bhi le liya.”
Maine unhe takte hue bola, “Wah! Sabke liye bina bole samajh gayi!”
Sona ne aankhein chhoti karte hue bola, “Kyun naa samjhein? Apne pati ke saare gharwalon ka dhyaan rakhna toh hamara hi kaam hai!”
Masoom bhi chhedte hue boli, “Aur agar hum nahi karenge toh kya aap karoge?”
Main unhe rokte hue bola, “Arre yeh ‘aap-aap’ mat bola karo, kitni baar mana kiya hai!”
Sona thoda sharma kar boli, “Filhal toh theek hai, lekin shaadi ke baad humse ‘tum-tum’ mat bolna!”
Main mazaak mein haath jodkar bola, “Accha meri maa, thik hai, jaise mann aaye waise bolo. Ab chalo, late ho raha hai!”
Masoom boli, “Haan chalo, saloni ko le kar aati hoon.”
(A Sudden Turn of Events)
Main neeche parking mein car mein baith gaya aur gaane gungunane laga:
"Tere bina zindagi se koi shikwa toh nahi..."
Tabhi car ke sheeshe par ek aurat ne dastak di. Uska chehra pehle kabhi nahi dekha tha, lekin uske chehre par ek ajeeb si ghabrahat thi. Maine sheesha neeche kiya aur pucha, “Kya baat hai? Kya hua?”
Woh boli, “Main Deepika hoon.”
Main hairaan ho kar bola, “Toh? Kya karun main? Haan?”
Deepika ne kaha, “Main woh doctor hoon jisne tumhari girlfriend ka ilaaj kiya tha.”
Maine soch mein padh kar pucha, “Oh! Haan! Aap yaha kaise?”
Deepika ne apna haath saamne karte hue bola, “Badi mushkil se tumhe dhoonda hai.”
Uske haath ko dekhte hi meri saansein thami ki thami reh gayi. Uske haathon par ajeeb se bal aur nishan the. Woh normal insani haath nahi lag rahe the.
Main ghabra kar bola, “Yeh sab kya hai?”
Deepika ki awaaz mein ghabrahat thi, “Yahi toh main puch rahi hoon! Tum kaun ho? Tumhare khoon mein kya hai? Yeh sab mujhe kyun ho raha hai?”
Main ek pal ke liye chauk gaya, “Ek minute... mera khoon?!”
Maine uska haath zor se pakad kar dekha aur turant chhod diya. Gusse aur ghabrahat mein bola, “Tum pagal ho? Maine kaha tha, main apna khoon nahi de sakta tumhe!”
Deepika chillate hue boli, “Mujhe yeh sab kyun ho raha hai?! Tumne mujhe kuch kiya hai!”
Mujhe pata tha ki kuch toh gadbad hai. Deepika ke haath aur uska badalte behavior ek ajeeb rahasya buni rahe the. Maine car ke andar baithte hi kaha, “Yeh sab theek nahi lag raha. Mujhe sachai tak pahuchna hoga.”
Tension Unfolds
Main ghar laaya tha sabko shopping ke baad, lekin ek ajeeb si chuppi thi. Sona ka chehra ab bhi udaas tha, aur woh chhup-chhup ke soch rahi thi. Main jaanta tha ki yeh sab mere wajah se ho raha hai, aur main kuch kar bhi nahi sakta tha. Mera dil bhar gaya tha, lekin insaan hoon, zindagi itni asaan bhi nahi hoti.
Deepika ke diye card ne mujhe aur bhi confused kar diya. Usne kaha tha ki mujhse baat karni hai. Main ne call kiya, aur uski awaaz thodi ghabrahat mein thi.
(Phone Call Dialogue)
Main: "Haan, hello. Bolo, kya baat hai?"
Deepika (dheere se): "Main kaise thik ho sakti hoon? Meri madad karo."
Main (thoda gussa ho kar): "Kisne kaha tha tumhe mera khoon khud mein inject karne ke liye?"
Deepika (rohte hue): "Agar main nahi karti, toh virus se mar jaati main. Tum nahi samajh rahe ho!"
Main (chhup kar, thoda taunting tone mein): "Hatho, abb toh wolf ban kar khush raho!"
Deepika (gussa ho kar): "Kya? Kya bakra rahe ho tum?"
Main (ek dam serious ho kar): "Madam ji, main ek werewolf hoon, samajhi? Aur bhi bahut kuch hoon. Tumhare andar wolf gene activated ho gaya hai. Mera woh virus sample nasht kar do, warna meri musibat badh jayegi."
Deepika (angry and scared): "Tu kyun mujhse aise baat kar raha hai? Kise kaimne ne mujhe thik kar diya, warna main tujhe maar dungi!"
Main (calmly): "Maine nahi kaha tha, dr. sahaiba."
(Sudden Twist)
Deepika ne phone par rone ki awaaz di, "Meri maa ka kya hoga? Please mujhe baccha lo!"
Main: "Kal raat... iss jungle mein milna samajhi, main kuch karunga. Tab tak tum apni tension ko thoda relax karna, Deepika." (Main phone cut kar deta hoon).
(Back to Room )
Main let kr sab kuch thoda sa shanti se samajhne laga. Lekin maa ka gussa abhi bhi Neha aur Saloni ko lekar chhupa hua tha. Main samajh gaya tha ki yeh sab misunderstandings thi, koi badi galti nahi thi. Neha aur Saloni ki intentions achi thi, bas thodi misunderstanding ho gayi thi.
Sona ka chehra ab bhi udaas tha, aur jab maine uska man jana, toh uske dard ka ehsaas hua. Woh chahti thi ki main sabse pehle usse pyaar karu, lekin yeh kaafi mushkil tha. Zindagi mein kabhi kabhi wo cheezein humare haath se nikal jaati hain jo hum chaahte hain, aur jise hum chaahte hain, woh aksar humse door ho jaata hai.
Riccha ke chehre par khushi thi. Usne apni maa aur dad se baat ki thi, aur usse laga tha ki ab sab kuch thik ho jayega. Uski wajah se ghar mein thodi shanti thi.
(Deep Emotional Conflict)
Mujhe yeh samajh aane laga tha ki har kisi ka apna dard aur apna raasta hota hai. Sabhi ko apni jagah par sab kuch sahi karna hota hai, lekin yeh mushkil hota hai. Neha aur Saloni ki dosti ne kuch confusion create ki thi, par ab mujhe lagta tha ki woh dono apne intentions mein saaf the. Lekin yeh sab samajhna aur apne emotions ko handle karna meri liye bohot challenging ho raha tha.
Mujhe laga ki sabko apni zindagi mein thodi space milni chahiye thi, taaki har koi apne problems ko samajh sake. Riccha ki khushi mein thodi shanti thi, lekin sabke dilon mein abhi bhi kuch chhupaa hua tha, jo waqt ke saath hi samajhna aur solve karna hoga.
---
Emotional Confessions and Tensions
Mujhe yeh samajh aane laga tha ki meri zindagi ab sirf meri nahi rahi thi. Mere saath jo log the, unki khushiyan meri khushi ka hissa ban gayi thi. Masoom ki baat karo toh, uska man mere liye ek aisa safar tha jahan hum dono ek doosre ke saath har ek lamha jeena chahte the.
(Reflection)
Aaj meri zindagi mein sab kuch thoda complex ho gaya tha, lekin yeh bhi samajh raha tha ki meri sabhi maasoomiyaan, meri apni khushi, meri responsibilities se judi thi. Sona ki baat karo toh woh thoda ghabra gayi thi, par sab ka man tha ki hum apne rishton ko samajh sakein.
Pari ki baat bhi dilchasp thi. Uska mind ab bhi ek confusion mein tha. Main jaanta tha ki woh chahti thi ki main hamesha uske saath rahoon, lekin kabhi kabhi humare apne sapne aur apne dard humare saath raah nahi bana paate. Uske liye meri feelings kaafi complicated thi, aur main khud bhi ye samajh nahi pa raha tha ki mere dil mein kya hai.
Mai abhi aakhe band karne hi wala thaa ki wah pari akar kadhi ho gayi
(Conversation with Pari)
Main - aare mere paari gudiya kaha thi etnae dino sai pata hai chain sai soo nahi paaya hu mai
Pari (thoda gussa ho kar): "Kaha the, aaj itne dino baad tumne mujhe kabhi bulaya nahi. Saloni, Neha aur bhabhiyoon ke saath busy rehte ho."
Main (jokingly, lekin apne aap ko defend karte hue): "Aare meri Pari, yeh kya ho gaya? Tumhe pata hai na ki 13 saal se tumhare saath hoon, toh ab itna gussa kyun?"
Pari (thoda upset ho kar, phir thoda playful): "Kahaan khoya tha? Tumne kabhi apne dil ki baat nahi kahi. Kya tumhe lagta hai ki main tumhare saath nahi rehna chahti?"
Main (thoda hairaan ho kar): "Aare baba, galti ho gayi, maaf kar do. Kabhi tumne kaha tha na, yeh sab? Main samajh sakta hoon, lekin apni feelings ko thoda samajhna zaroori tha."
Pari (seriously, apni baat rakhte hue): "Waise, maine notice kiya hai ki jab main tumse apne dil ki baat karti thi, tumne hamesha kaha tha 'attraction'. Par ab tum Saloni didi aur Neha ko dekh kar attractive feel kar rahe ho, yeh kya hai?"
(Dev's Internal Struggle)
Pari ki baat sunke meri duniya hil gayi thi. Kya main sach mein Saloni aur Neha ko apni taraf attract mehsoos kar raha hoon? Ya phir yeh bas ek misunderstanding thi? Mera dil yeh samajh pa raha tha ki main khud apne jazbaat ke saath khada hoon, aur agar maine yeh samajhna shuru kiya toh yeh sab aur mushkil ho sakta tha.
Mujhe ab yeh samajh aane laga tha ki apni feelings ko samajhna aur doosron ko batana zaroori hai, varna hum apne rishton ko kho dete hain. Main apne dil ki baat sabse pehle Pari se karna chahta tha, par us waqt jo confusion tha, woh sabko samajhna aur unhe apne jazbaat samjhana zaroori tha.
(The Truth About Feelings)
Masoom ka man bilkul saaf tha. Woh har ek din meri khushi ke liye jeeti thi, aur main uski zindagi mein ek aise shakhs ki tarah tha jo kabhi apne emotions ko samajh nahi paaya. Uska pyaar aur uska jazba mere liye zaroori tha, lekin main apne dil ko puri tarah samajh nahi pa raha tha.
Pari ki baat thi, toh woh apne chhote dard ko mere saath share karna chahti thi. Woh meri chhoti si behen thi, jo hamesha mere saath rakhna chahti thi, par kabhi usse apne emotions ko pura samajh kar uski feelings ko jawab dena mushkil ho gaya tha.
(The Decision)
Masoom ne apne dad se baat kar li thi court marriage ke liye, aur yeh mere liye ek nayi zindagi ka shuruat tha. Main samajh raha tha ki har ek decision, har ek feeling ab sabki zindagi ko shape dene wala tha.
Mujhe apni zindagi ko samajhne ka waqt mil raha tha, par yeh sab humari jo khushiyan thi unhi par nirbhar tha. Mera kaam tha ki main apne relationships ko samajh kar apni decisions loo.
Main - kaisi baate karati hai aisa kuch nahi hai
pari mujhe pakad kr apna shir mere senne par rakh kar let gayi
Main - kaya hua udas mat hoo abb tera dhyaan rakhunga mai
Dev and Pari's Tender Moment
Dev (thinking to himself):
"Yeh kya ho raha hai? Pari ki saath har pal kuch alag hi ho raha hai. Yeh jo ehsaas hai, isse pehle kabhi nahi mehsoos kiya. Aaj tak main apne emotions ko samajh nahi paaya tha, par ab lagta hai sab kuch ek nayi direction mein jaa raha hai."
Pari (holding Dev's shirt, her head resting on his chest, softly):
"Sii... ab mujhe sohne dijiye. Bade din baad, aapki dhadkano ko sun kar so rahi hoon. Aaj jo sukoon hai, uska koi hisaab nahi. Main yeh baatein aapko bekar nahi keh rahi hoon. Aapke saath bas thoda aur waqt guzarna chahti hoon. Jaise aapko jo achha lage, aap wo karo. Par, please thoda time mere liye nikaal liya karo. Ab jawab mat dena, bas soo jaaiye."
(Dev, gently caressing her hair, feeling her warmth)
Dev ne apne dil ki baat ko apni chaahaton ke saath jhela, lekin woh samajh gaya ki uska pyaar Pari ke liye kis tarah ka tha. Jaise hi Pari uski dhadkan ko mehsoos kar rahi thi, Dev ka dil ek alag hi raah par chalne laga. Woh waqt ab kisi aur cheez ka tha, jo sirf un dono ke beech tha.
(Dev's Inner Thoughts)
"Aaj meri aankhon ke samne ek nayi duniya khuli hai. Pari ki muskaan, uska yeh pyaar — yeh jo sukoon hai, yeh pehle kabhi nahi tha. Kabhi yeh nahi socha tha ki mere liye koi itna khaas ho sakta hai."
Pari (whispering as she drifts into sleep):
"Mai bas aapko apni duniya mein rakhna chahti hoon, Dev. Yeh sab kuch aapke saath... jaise ek nayi kahani ka shuruat ho. Main har din yeh samajhne ki koshish kar rahi hoon ki hum dono ka saath kis tarah se badhega."
(Dev softly smiling, realizing the depth of her feelings)
"Pari, tum jitni samajhdar ho, utni hi thodi confused bhi ho. Tumhein apni feelings samajhna hoga. Tumse zyada apni feelings samajhna mujhe bhi thoda mushkil lagta hai. Par main tumhare saath hoon."
(Dev falls asleep with a calm sense of peace, knowing his bond with Pari is now growing deeper)
"Yeh jo ek sukoon ka ehsaas hai,
Shayad yeh hum dono ke beech ki rishton ki shuruaat ho.
Aur aage hum dono ki naa khatam hone waali baat ho.
Aaj ka din, yeh raat...
Inka apna ek rang tha.
Ess raat mein, har ek behati hawa ka,
Apna-apna ek dhang tha,
Jahan har dukh ko mohabbat ki roshni mil si gayi,
Aur teri har khushi meri har dhadkan tham si gayi."
