ANUSEENA-His Second Wife ✓

Broken Souls

A FEW DAYS LATER
SINGH MASION

The atmosphere of Singh Mansion has completely changed,the once happy and jolly place had changed into a silent palace.Maa Baba,Daadi,Kashish everyone seemed to have lost their smile and charm.Kashish's engagement talks has been shelved for sometime.All of them grieving the loss of the unborn baby and the absence of Haseena in the house and Anubhav he seemed as if someone has sucked the life out of him.He had got dark circles around his eyes,the glow on his face was gone.He neither went to gym nor eat properly.He hadn't even go to office since that day.
Maa was extremely worried for her son,she hadn't seen him this broken even when Riddhima was gone.

"Aaj bhi Anu lunch k liye nahi aaya?"Baba asked worried.

"Nahi...Naa jane kyun mere bacche k saath hi Aisa hota hain."Maa said sadly.

"Koi baat nahi...thoda waqt do usse...yeh bohot bada jhatka tha...sambhalne mein waqt to lagega."Baba said.

"Kya waqt do waqt do....4din se Mera bacche ne ek baar maa kahekar pukara bhi nahi mujhe...Naa kha Raha hain,na kamre se bahar aaraha hain..main Jaarahi uske paas.Aap mat rokiye mujhe."She said and went upstairs.

Maa knocked at Anubhav's door to find it open.She went inside and turned the lights on and saw Anubhav sitting on the floor leaning against the bed.

"Anu"She gently called his name and he turned his head to look at maa."

"Maa aap..humein bula leti."He said standing up.Maa went near him and her heart pained seeing his dull face.

"Baith yaha."Maa gestured him to sit on the bed and sat beside him.

"Kuch kahena hain Maa?"He asked.

Instead of replying Maa made him lie on her lap and started caressing his head.Anubhav closed his eyes feeling the warmth of his mother's lap and unknown to him his tears started flowing and soon he was sobbing hiding his face in her mother's stomach.

"Ro le Mera baccha..ro le..."Maa said wiping her own tears.Anubhav shifted himself a little up and rested his head in Maa's chest.

"Hum hi kyun maa?"He asked in broken voice.
"Humara baccha maa,humne humare bacche ko kho Diya.Haseena chhat par aayi thi bohot khush hokar humein batane k liye par apni galatfahmi aur gusse k karan humne unse bura bartav kiya uski itni badi saza mili maa humein."He said crying.

"Aisa nahi hain baccha..."Maa said trying to console him.

"Aisa hi hain maa.Maa hum nahi rahe parahe Haseena k bina,humein saas nahi aarahi...please humein humari Haseena wapas laa dijiye maa,humein woh wapas chahiye maa warna hum marr jayenge."He cried like a baby.

"Mera rajabeta aise nahi rote.Mera Anubhav toh itna weak kabhi nhi tha."Maa said cupping her face.
"Dekh beta kathin samay har kisi ki zindagi mein aata hain par iss tarah se haar maan lega toh kaise chalega.Haseena wapas chahiye toh uske liye mahenat karni padegi na.Uske andar k dard na hum mein se koi nhi samajh sakta,Riddhima ko tujhe iss ghar mein nahi Lana chahiye tha...usswaqt tune nahi socha ek baar bhi ki Haseena kaisa mahesoos karrahi hogi.Bhalei usne bataya nahi tujhe par tujhe sochna chahiye tha na.Aur phir bhi shayad woh kuch nhi kaheti par iss miscarriage ne usse Tod Diya hain."Maa said.

"Aap sahi kaherahi hain Maa humne kabhi unki taraf se socha hi nahi."He said regretfully.

"Woh tujhe chhodkar gayi hain par yakeen maan jitna dukhi tu hain utni hi takleef usse bhi horahi hain.Abhi jo galti Hui hain usse Sudharna hain,Haseena k dard par malham lagana hain aur humari Bahu ko iss ghar mein wapas lekar aana hain."Maa said wiping his tears.
"Mera Sher baccha..aise haar nahi maarte."She caressed his cheeks.
