53. IS EVERYTHING SORTED?

Start from the beginning
                                    

Sana: Please andar chal tu bhi

He looked at me and saw me straight in my eyes, his eyes weren't complaining infact I could see that he needed assurance at this point. There was no anger no complaints yet he was so lost.

Sana: Please bebu, chal na I promise agar tujhe sahi nhi feel hua toh hum ussi samay vapis aa jayenge. I won't force you even for a second.

Sid: Nhi hoga Shehnaaz.
Sana: Sidharth parents hai voh tere aise kab tak chalega bebu?
Sid: Yaar I'm not angry mera haq hi nhi hai voh, it's just I feel guilty of letting them through this when they....
Sana: I understand Sidharth but ab please isko side rakhte hai chal na bebu, unka bhi toh haq hai na jaan ne ka ki Mom Dad just agreed for us.
Sid: Tu mere saath rahegi.
Sana: On every step of life.
Sid: Pakka?
Sana: Humari kasam humesha.

Aliya: Naaz bacha bahar kyun khadi hai aaja andar.
Sana: Maa voh Baba...
Aliya: Tu andar toh aa.... Raj
Maa called Baba and when he came he wrapped me in his protective arms.
Raj: Naaz kaisi hai bacha sorry voh kal hum busy the isliye nhi aa paye...

Sana(giggling): Arey bas ..... Itna miss kiya Mujhe ki chodne ka hi plan nhi hai.
Acha dekhiye kon aaya hai.

I broke the hug and then they looked at my back where Sidharth was standing with moist eyes but a heartwarming smile. I saw their eyes becoming moist too. Maa was the first one to hug him and cry.

Aliya: Mera bacha .. Tu theek hai na?
Sid: Ekdum aur aap kya ro rahe ho, aapse toh milta hi tha

But she was still crying and I saw Baba looking at them with all the love in his eyes.

Sid: Arey bas Maa, dekho meri shirt gili ho gayi.

And we laughed at this. Oh god how can he be back to his "shirt kharab nhi honi chaiye meri" mode but everyone present there knew that it was to make the situation less awkward.

Aliya(holding his ear) : Acha ab maa se zyada shirt zaroori hai.
Sid: Ahhh Maa Ahh.... Chodo yaar....
Sana: Nhi bilkul nhi mat chodna.
Sid: Tu ruk , tujhe baad main dekhunga.
Sana: Baba dekho aapke saamne dhamki de raha hai.

I said hoping him to speak something because from the time he saw Sidharth he was quite.

Baba: Apne aap nipto dono ab toh bache nhi ho.
Sid : Aapke liye toh humesha bache hi rahenge. I'm sorry Baba please ab toh maaf kar dijiye.

He said looking straight in his eyes and I hoped that everything should sort out.

Sid: Baba.....
And this broke the control Baba was holding and he hugged him tightly and both of them were crying.

Sid: I'm sorry... I'm so sorry Baba.
Raj: Nhi bacha I'm sorry mujhe teri baat manni hi nhi chaiye thi.
Sid: Nhi... Aap kyu sorry bol rahe hai.
Raj: Shshsh chup reh na thodi der.

I felt a hand caressing me and found Maa there.
Aliya: Thank u Naaz main taras gayi thi inko aise dekhne ke liye.
Sana: Nhi Maa maine kuch nhi kiya.
Aliya: Sab kuch tumne kiya hai bacha, pehle bhi hume humara beta tumhari vajah se mila tha aur aaj itne saalon baad bhi.

I wiped her tears and hugged her tightly but then I realized that Sidharth and Baba are still on their sorry sorry games. I looked at maa to do something otherwise whole night we would be standing here doing nothing but just hearing sorry.
She blinked her eyes in response.

Aliya: Sahi hai Beta ab teri shirt nhi gandi ho rahi hai.

She said holding his other ear this time and he winced again.
