Chapter 5.3 //:// Rakshabandhan

( Belated Happy Rakshabandhan )

Hassena: Karishma Singh aap yaha kya kar rahi hai?

Karishma ( nervously ): Voh maddamsir... Voh hume aapse kuch baat karni thi, toh hum aapse baat karne aa hi rahe the tab aapko baatein karte vakt suna, toh ruk gaye!

Hassena felt something weird as she sensed Karishma's nervousness.

Hassena: Thik hai! Chaliye fir.

Karishma: Yaha nahi maddamsir, kahi aur!

Hassena: Ji chaliye!

They both were sitting in nearby cafe.

Hassena: Aab bataeye ki aapko kya baat karni thi humse?

Karishma: Actually Maddamsir sach kahe toh humne aapki sari batein sun li thi jo aap shayad Aarti se kar rahi thi. Hum aaj aapse ekdam imandar hai maddamsir. Sach kahe toh Aarti se aapka jo lagav hai na Maddamsir usse dekhkar hume jalan hoti hai. Hum yeh baat sahen hi nahi kar paye ki hamari jagah aap kisi aur ko aapna 'Dost' manti hai, aapni 'Choti Behen' maanti hai.

Hassena smiled at her insecurities.

Hassena ( holding her shoulders ): Karishma Singh, aap aur Aarti dono mere liye barabar ho.

Karishma: Yahi toh problem hai na Maddamsir. Hume daar lagta hai ki kahi kisi din Aarti ke karan aap hume....

Hassena: Karishma Singh, Aap aur Aarti dono alag alag hai. Hum aap dono ko kabhi compare nahi kar sakte. Lekin hum aapko keh rahe hai ki agar aap dono mein se kisi ko chunne ki bari ayi tab hum kisi ko bhi nahi chun sakte. ( Karishma looked at her ) Karishma Singh, aap bataeye agar aapki Maa mein ya Baba mein se kisiko chun sakti hai?

Karishma nodded negatively.

Hassena: Toh baas, hum kabhi bhi Aarti ke karan aapko Najar andaz nahi karenge, hum puri koshish karenge.

Karishma ( confused ): Vada kahe nahi Maddamsir?

Hassena: Vade toh aksar tut jate hai Karishma Singh. Koshish kabhi bhi bekar nahi jati hai.

Karishma smiled and forwarded a hand for handshake. Hassena smiled and forwarded her hand too. They had a handshake ( Kareena style )

A Day Prior to Rakshabandhan

Hassena: Karishma Singh yeh case file complete ho chuki hai. Koi galti nahi hai. Humne signatures bhi kar diye hai, aap Headquarters bhijwa dijiye...

Karishma was in her thoughts so she hadn't listened to Hassena. When Karishma didn't replied to her Hassena looked at her and found her in thoughts. She shook her.

Karishma: Aapne kuch kaha kya Maddamsir?

Hassena: Humne aapko yeh file Headquarters bhijwane ke liye kaha. Aap kya soch rahi hai?

Karishma: Kal Rakshabandhan haina Maddamsir. Toh hum soch rahe the ki kal Bhaiya ko ka gift de unhe?

Hassena: Are ha kal toh Rakshabandhan hai. Par Karishma Singh, Rakshabandhan par toh ek bhai ek bahen ko gift deta hai par aap aapne bhaiya ko gift dene vali hai?

Karishma: Madam hum soch rahe the ki har saal Ek bhai hi kyu aapni bahen ko gift de? Ek bahen bhi toh aapni behen ko gift de sakti hai. Aur bachpan se hi Anu bhaiya ne hamare liye jo bhi kiya haina uske liye hum bhaiya ko bohot accha gift dena chahte hai.

Hassena smiled.

Hassena: kya baat hai Karishma Singh. Aapke khayalat itne unique hai yeh hume aaj bata chala. Aapke bhaiya ko sach mein aapke upar bohot garv hoga.

Karishma: Ji madam!

Pushpa ji: Hum andar aa jaye kya?

Hassena: Ha aa jaye Pushpa ji!

Pushpa ji: Aap sabhi ko yaad haina ki kal hume DSP sir ke ghar milna hai Rakshabandhan ke liye?

Karishma: Subah se aap humko das bar bol chuki hai Pushpa ji. Hume yaad hai!

Santosh and Cheeta entered from behind.

Santosh: Aaj toh main bhi exited hun. Kal main yaha par Rakshabandhan celebrate karungi, par mujhe na Karishma madam ko kuch puchna tha. Main kya Anubhav sir aur Aapke husband ko Rakhi bandh sakti hun kya?

Karishma: Are isme puchne vala konsa baat hai Santu? Tum Bhaiya ko bandhna Rakhi par tum na Patidev ko Rakhi nahi bandh sakogi!

Santosh ( innocently ): Kya Karishma Madam aap bhi, koi aapne Patidev ko Rakhi kaise bandh sakte hai. Rakhi toh bhai ko bandhte haina?

Everyone rolled their eyes on her Statement.

Cheeta: Uff yeh masumiyat Santu ji!

Karishma ( angrily ): Ama ohh! Hum hamare pati ki baat kar rahe hai tumhare pati ki baat nahi kar rahe! ( To Cheeta ) Aur tum Cheete jara overflow ho raha hai tumhara masumiyat!

Cheeta: Sorry Madam!

Hassena: Par aap aaisa kyu keh rahi thi Santosh aapke pati ko Rakhi kyu nahi baandh payegi?

Karishma: Voh achanak voh aapne ek bahen ke ghar chale gaye jo Delhi mein rehti hai. Humare bhaiya ke saath kai saalon baad hai Rakshabandhan ke din toh hum nahi gaye!

Hassena: Matlab iss baar bhi unse mulakat nahi ho payegi.

Pushpa ji: Ha dekhiye na madam! Hamare lalla ke nasib. ( Indirectly taunting Karishma eyeing her )

Karishma understood it, but she was silent. Pushpa ji was surprised.

Hassena: Chaliye aab jakar kaam kariye!

Nalini was in her room caressing the Rakhi in her hand. She smiled.

Nalini's POV
Kya baat hai Bhaiya. Aaj inte saalon baad aapke saath Rakshabandhan manayenge. Baba ke jane ke baad humare liye sabse bada sahara aap the. Hum jab bhi aapko dekhte the, tab hume aapme aapne Baba ki jhalak dikhti thi. Ek bhai nahi par ek pita ka pyaar diya hai aapne hume. Hum kabhi bhi yeh nahi bhool payenge ki hamare zindagi mein aapki kinti jyada ehmiyat hai? Shayad.. kal ka Rakshabandhan hum dono ka akhri Rakshabandhan ho?

POV ends

She took their Photo frame and hugged it. She cried silently hugging the photo frame. She cried continuosly and slept in the same position....
