" kya dekh rhe hai aap?" shehnaaz asked standing beside him.
" Apne Mehrangarh ko dekh rhe hai, hume lagta hai hum apni zimmedari nh nibha paaye Mehrangarh ko surakshit nh rkh paaye, jo log humse itna prem karte hai unki madad nh kar paaye, hum asafal ho gye...pehli baar nayan ne jo manga ushe nh de paaye"
" Ap aise na boliye, apse acha raja Mehrangarh ko kabhi nh mil skta, ye ek vipda hai aur hum jante hai aap isme Vijaya hoke aaoge"
" agar nh hue toh"
" hume aur apk janta ko apk upar pura Vishwas hai," he turned to face her, holding her hands in his, he looked into her eyes.
" jabse aap ish mehel mein aayi hai hum apko sukoon ka ek pal nh de paaye shehnaaz, ho ske toh hume ma..." she keeps her hand on his mouth.
" aisa na kahiye, ish mehel ne hume bhut maan saman dia hai, apne hume pankh diye, azaadi di ki jo hum cahe kar skte hai, apk saath bitaya ek ek pal humare liye sukoon bhara, cahe woh apk kewal dur se dekhna kyu na ho, aur hum sirf sukoon pane ke liye toh yahan nh aaye the, apk mushkile humari mushkile bhi hai, har kadam pe saath chlne ka waada kia hai humne, toh aise kese soch skte hai aap, ki Sara sukoon humare hisse mein aur muskile apk hisse mein balki ye sb toh humari wajah se ho rha hai, hum nh jante kyu humare abbu humse itni nafrat krte hai, kyu woh humesa humari khushi cheenna cahte hai, humne unhe maaf kr dia tha ki chlo unhone khuch toh acha kaam kia humara apk saath vivah krke lekin hum glt the Rathore sa, hum glt the, koi baap apni hi beti se itni nafrat kese kr skta hai" she asked him, the hurt and longingness in her eyes visible to him, the need to know the answers of her questions.
" shehnaaz hume nh pta kal ke baad ky hoga, humari taqdeer mein ky likha hoga, lekin hum ek waada chahte hai" she nodded.
" kal se hum sirf ek raja honge, humare jo bhi faisle honge woh humari janta ke liye honge, kal jab hum ish mehel se bahar niklenge tab na hum kisi ke bete honge, na bahi aur na hi pati, hum Nh jante ki hum zinda laut kar bhi aayenge ya nh" the tears escaped from her eye listening to his word, her whole body shivered thinking about anything like this.
" khuch bhi ho jaaye aap apna aur ish mehel ka dhayan rkhengi, aur kisi bhi halat Mein mehel ki ye dehleej paar nh krengi"
" hum aisa wada nh kr skte" she answered shaking her neck.
" shehnaaz apk grabh mein..."
" aap humare pati hai, hum apse ye vaada hargiz nh kr skte"
" shehnaaz..."
" Rathore sa humne apko apk dharam aur farz nibahne se nh roka aap hume bandhisho mein na bandhe bs itna Jaan le hum zarroorat ke alawa khuch nh krenge"
" aap itni ziddi kyu hai shehnaaz,"
" kyunki hum apk hi biwi hai,"
" lagta hai humara bacha bhi behad ziddi hoga" she smiled keeping aside the fear.
" humne apk dhanyawaad bhi nh kia itne azeez khushi dene ke liye"
" Rathore sa khuch maange" she asked.
" apne apko apke naam kar dia ab aur ky mangegi, humare pass ish waqt apko dene ke liye khuch nh hai"
" ye raat humare saath sirf humara pati bnke bitayenge"
" itni mohabbat kese kr leti hai aap"
" kyunki aap azeez hi itne hai, apse mohabbat krne ki koi sima nh ho skti" she answered, and he kissed her forehead, lingering his lips there for a while.
" hum apk intzaar krenge" she said seeing baldev coming.
"Saari tayari ho gyi hukum sa" baldev informed him.
" theekh hai aap sb log bhojan krke thoda vishram krle,"
***************
" Nayan bacha tabiyat kesi hai ab" Sidhanth asked sitting beside her.
" aap rona toh band kre ye apk hone wale bache ke liye bilkul theek nh hai aur na hi apk liye" he said wiping her tears, she didn't meet his gaze.
" aap itni naraz hai apne bahi se ki ab unki taraf dekhengi bhi nh" the lump formed in his throat.
"Hume maaf krde hum apna waada pura nh kr sake, ek baat kahe nayan Abhiraj apk pati hone se pehle ek yodha hai, ek rajkumar aur aane wale waqt mein ek raja banege, aise na jane kitni baar hoga jab unki jaan jokhim mein hogi, toh ky aap unhe ish dar se yudh mein jane se rok dengi, shehnaaz humari patni hone se pehle ek ladki hai, aap hi btaye kese aur ladkiyon ko bachane ke liye hum unka saudha krde, bacha hum jante hai aap dar gyi hai, aur apk darna bhi savbhavik hai aaj tak aapne mehel se bahar ki duniya ya unke daav pench nh dekhe hai, hum waada Karte hai hum abhiraj ko khuch nh hone denge cahe uske liye hume khuch bhi krna pade, khuch bhi" he expressed keeping his hand on her head, standing at the door indrani heard his words.
" Hum nh chahte apko bhi khuch ho jaye bahi sa hum jante hai humne bhut khuch bola hai jo nh bolna chiye tha lekin hume khuch smjh nh aa rha aur bhabhi sa to....."
" Nayan aap sirf ish waqt apne bare mein soch rhi hai, jis bhabhi ko aap dene ke liye keh rhi hai woh bhi ish bhakat garbh se hai, jis bhabhi ki wajah se apko lagta hai sb khuch ho rha hai unhone hi Sidhanth se waada lia hai abhiraj ko khuch na hone dene ka, woh bhi ek ladki hai apk hi ham umar hai, humne apko ye sb toh nh sikhaya..."
" maa sa bs kijiye woh pehle hi theekh nh hai"
" sidhanth ushe smjhana hoga itna asan nh hota ek rajgharane ki bahu banna, apne aap ko bhadhur bana lo beta warna ye jung tum ladne se pehle hi haar jaogi"
" Hum apne waada zaroor nibhayenge" he stated kissing her forehead.
" Maa sa aap khyal rkhna apna bhi aur nayan ka bhi"
" shehnaaz ka khyal rkhne nh bolega"
" Maa sa ushe apne dhayan ab khud rkhna sikhna padega, uske upar bhut zimmedari soaf ke jaa raha hu"
" aise baatein kyu kar rha hai Tu, tune har yudh jeeta hai ye bhi jeetega" he bends down taking her blessing.
************
" apne bhut der laga di hum kabse apk intzaar kar rhe the" shehnaaz speaks as soon as she heard footsteps, he smiles.
" kese pehcahan leti hai ap"
" bhala ye bhi koi phuchne wali baat, chle ab Zaldi se haanth dho le humne apk liye apk manpasand khana banaya hai apne hath se"
" shehnaaz apko ye sb krne ki ky zarroorat thi, log hai na" he said while drying his hands from her dupatta.
"Apne ek baar humse kha tha ki apko humare haanth ka khana khana hai isliye" she told him taking him towards the small table.
He looked at her the way she is trying to hide her tears, the way she is just smiling to hide her pain putting on a brave face, and the way she is biting her lips from time to time.
" aise ky dekh rhe hai"
" ap apna kaam kijiye aur hume apna kar de"
" Rathore sa khana thanda ho jayega"
" toh khila dijiye aap" she started feeding him while he just looked at her as much as he could, for the first time he is not feeling good about this war, he knows in his heart something bad will take place, something which can't be controlled, she looks the same like he saw her for the first time, the serene beauty adding to it her pregnancy glow.
"Rathore sa bhut bure hai aap, humare khane ke baare mein ek baar bhi nh phucha, dekh rhe hai aap rajkumar apk pita abhi se hume Nazar Andaz kar rhe hai"
" humari aise mazal, apko nazarandaz karke hume kha jana hai" he said making her eat the next morsel.
" Rathore sa hum apk intzaar krenge" she said gazing at the moon, he puts his hand around her shoulder pulling her closer, the tear escaped from her eyes as she tightened her hold on his kurta.
" shehnaaz behad mohabbat krte hai apse"
" hum jante hai" she replied like he used to making him smile widened amidst his tears-filled eyes.
