Abhira/Harshali OS Series (Continued)

1.6 Sukoon

Man : Haa par mujhe Akshu se akele me hi baat karni hai. Abhi kya main ab apni beti se akele me do pal ke liye baat bhi nahi kar sakti.

Ak (signing Abhi through eyes) : Aaiye na maa. Chaliye hum room me chalte hai.

She took Manjari to her room. After closing the room she asked Manjari about the matter that took her here.

Man : Akshu Aarohi ko Neil se baat karte huye suna. Ki tum dono Bangalore jaa rahe ho. Beta ek to Abhi pehle hi ghar chhod ke aa gaya hai. Ab kya wo hume chhod ke itna door chala jaayega ki use dekhne ke liye bhi taras jaayenge hum. Yaha rehte tum dono to kam se kam jab dil karta yaha tum dono se milne aa to paate. Tum Abhi se baat Karo na ki wo yaha se na jaaye.

Ak : Main is baare me Abhi se kya baat karu Maa. Aur kaise roku usko. Aur sabse badi baat kyun Roku. Jab se meri Abhi se shaadi huyi tab se aaj sayad pehli baar maine dekha hai ki usne family ke alawa kuch socha hai. Humesha se yahi hota aaya hai wo kehta to hai ki use family se koi matlab nahi hai lekin ghum phir kar uska har faisla family ke liye hi hota hai. Kabhi meri wajah se kabhi aapki wajah se. Aaj pehli baar usne hum dono me se kisi se bhi discuss nahi kiya to iska matlab ye hai ki wo nahi chahta ki hum is baar uska decision change karne me use force na kare to I think hume uske decision ki respect karni chahiye. Jaruri thodi hai ki har baar hum use uski marzi ke khilaaf karne par compel kare. I am sorry maa is baar main aisa kuch bhi nahi karungi aur request karti hu aapse ki aap bhi Abhi ko majboor karne ki koshish na kare.

Man : Theek hai phir main chalti hu socha tha ki tum to kam se kam meri baat samjhogi. Abhi is waqt gusse me hai. Wo nahi samajh paayega meri baat. Lekin tum to samjhogi. Aarohi se tumhari shuruat se hi anban hoti rehti thi lekin iska matlab ye thodi hai ki tumne usse apne rishte khatam kar liye. Agar main baat karti Abhi se to use kisi bhi tarah mana kar ghar le jaati lekin tumse to bas yahi kaha ki tum use yaha se jaane se rok lo.

Ak : Haa taaki aapke Neil ki patni ek baar phir se ye ilzaam laga le ki Abhi ne apna Nursing home yaha pe isiliye open Kiya taaki wo Birla hospital ke patients ko bhadka sake. And use phir se kalesh karne ka ek aur mauka mil jaaye.

Man : Aarohi kya sochti hai kya nahi sochti hai usse tum dono ko farq kyu padne laga Akshu. Use jo lagta hai lagne do na. Hum me se kisi ko koi problem nahi hai na yaha Abhi ke kaam karne se. Use jo bhi karna hai yaha kar le.

Ak : Aap log ko ye kyun lagta hai. Ki Aarohi ya Birla House ka koi bhi kuch bhi soche usse Abhi ko koi matlab hai. Aarohi ka naam to maine isiliye liya taaki aap chup ho jaaye. Aur mujhse aage kuch bhi na bole. Lekin aap to ab bhi apni baat pe hi atki hai. To meri bhi baat sun lijiye kisi ke kuch bhi sochne se hume koi farq nahi padta. Is baar once and for all humne Birla House se apne saare ties break kar liye hai. Aapko bura na lage isiliye main ye baat aapse nahi keh rahi thi. Lekin aapko na rishte ka hawala dekar apni baat manwane ki aadat si lag chuki hai to aapko bhi reality check dena jaruri hai. Maa main aapki bahut respect karti hu aur aapko ulta jabab dena mujhe achha nahi lag raha hai lekin aap hai ki har baar hume majboor karti hai. Aur surprising pata hai kya hai aap har baar ya to mujhe ya to Abhi ko hi majboor karne ki koshish karti hai. Neil aur Aarohi par to aapka koi bas nahi chalta. Us din aap chahti to Neil ko daat kar chup karwa sakti thi. Lekin aapne kya kaha? Aapne Abhi se kaha ki koi apne bhai se aise ladta hai kya. Har baar samajhne ki jimmedari mere Abhi ki hi kyun hai. Koi aur kuch bhi samajhne ke liye taiyyar kyun nahi hota. Neil ne apni jindagi ka itna bada decision liya usne us decision me bhi hume haq nahi diya ki hum uske liye kuch decide kar sake. Bas shaadi karke aa gaya. Aur aate hi usne hume manane ki koshish tak nahi ki seedha ye kaha ki use ghar chhod ke jaana hai. Jaanti hai usne aisa kyun kaha kyu ki wo aur Aarohi dono aapki kamjori achhe se jaante hai. Aapko mahaan banne ka bahut shauk hai. Aap apni mahanta dikhane ke liye use rokne ki koshish jarur karengi. Aur isi koshish me aapko un dono ka rishta accept karna padega. Aur ek baar aapne accept kar liya to Abhi ko bhi karna hi hoga. Wo chahe ya na chahe aap ro ro kar usse accept karwa hi lengi. Aur dekhiye aapne unki ummeed ke hisaab se hi act bhi kiya. Aapne Abhi ko majboor karke unhe ghar bulwa hi liya. Aur Aarohi yahi to chahti thi ki Neil ko manipulate karke wo direct Birla House me enter kare. Sab kuch to aapne un dono ke hisaab se hi kiya. Idhar aap kehti hai ki Abhi aapka beta hai lekin baat aap humesha Neil ki hi maanti hai. Abhi ko to aapne kuch samjha hi nahi. Pehle sir ke liye aap Abhi ko andekha karti thi. Jaane anjaane wahi karti thi jo sir chahte the aur humari shaadi ke baad hi Neil ka adoption ka sach saamne aaya tab se aap ne Neil ke liye Abhi ko nazar andaz kar diya. Main aapse puchti Hu aakhir Abhi ki kya galti hai ki wo aapka beta hai.

Man : Kya kya bole jaa rahi ho pata bhi chal raha hai Akshara. Sirf bol dene se rishta khatam ho jaata hai kya. Main yaha tumhe samjhdaar samajh kar tumse baat karne aayi thi. Socha tha ki tum bhi rishton ki kadar karti ho meri tarah. Lekin ab to mujhe aisa lag raha hai ki Abhi ke dimag me ye sab bharne wali hi tum ho. Tumhi ne use ghar chhodne ke liye uksaya hai. Tum sahi mayne me kabhi bhi Aarohi ko us ghar ki bahu bante nahi dekhna chahti thi. Lekin jab tumne dekha ki ab wo ghar ki bahu ban hi gayi hai to tumne Abhi ko us ghar ko chhodne par majboor kar diya.

Ak : Wow maa! Ek min aapke muh se itna sab kuch sun kar bhi pata hai mujhe surprise nahi hua. Akshu-Akshara to aap humesha se karti aayi hai. Jab sab kuch aapke hisaab se hua to aapne mujhe apni beti bana liya aur jab kuch bhi aapke against hua to bahu bhi nahi reh gayi main. Haa chaliye agar aapko Aisa lagta hai ki maine Abhi ko ghar chhodne pe majboor kiya hai to wahi sahi. Lekin aap ek baat bataiye ki hum dono ko ghar chhod ke mil kya gaya. Naye sehar me jaa rahe hai pata to hoga hi na sab kuch settle karne me hume kitni problem hogi. Uper se humne Birla House se ek ratti kuch bhi nahi liya. Naya buisness uper se paise ki koi security nahi. Itne saare wealth aur ghar ki sukh shaanti ko chhod kar mujhe to shaukh laga hai na ki main battle field me kood padu. Maa apni baat ko hi ek baar dhyaan se sochiye kis sukh ke liye ghar chhodenge hum. Lekin khair chhodiye jaane dijiye. Ab main aapko aur nahi samjha sakti. Lekin ek baat kehna chahungi. Na hi mujhe aapko kuch samjhana hai na hi aapki baat maan kar Abhi se koi baat hi karni hai. Aap mujhse kuch bhi expect mat kariye. Guilt aapka hai. Neil ka sach aapne chhupaya. To aap apne guilt ka bojh khud dhoiye mujhe aur Abhi ko maaf kariye. Ab hum aapke guilt ki wajah se us good for nothing insaan ke taane nahi sun sakte. Jisne aaj tak khud ke balbute pe kuch bhi karne ki koshish nahi kari. Dhang se padhai tak nahi ki kyu ki puri tarah se Abhi par depend tha aur aaj haq maangne ke time muh utha ke khada ho gaya. To chaliye de dijiye use uske saare haq. Hume kuch nahi chahiye. Lekin ek saath dono beto ko rakhne ka aapka sapna pura nahi ho sakta. I AM SORRY .

Man :(who understood that she has hurt Akshu again started shedding tears again ) : Akshu dekh na beta ek baar phir maine tujhe hurt kar diya. Lekin beta log jispe haq samjhte hai usi se kuch maangte hai na. Tujhe apni beti maana hai isiliye tujhse maangne aayi thi. Lekin tune to mujhe saaf mana kar diya. Koi baat nahi main chalti hu beta. Apna khayal rakhna.

Ak : Maa ek min jaldi jaldi me us ghar ka ek samaan lautana main bhul gayi thi. Ab jab us ghar se koi rishta hi nahi hai to us ghar ki koi cheez bhi mujhe nahi rakhni. Abhi ne bola tha return karne ko aur maine bhi socha tha ki kisi staff ke haathon bhijwa dungi lekin aap aayi hai to aap hi le lijiye.

Akshu took of the kangan from her hands and handed it over to Manjari. And then folded her hands. (In a way saying that ab aap jaa sakti hai)
Manjari was shocked as hell. After Akshu's this gesture. She silently left from the room and then from Goenka house.

Goenka's saw Manjari leaving without saying anything and then Akshu coming to the living room.

Ab : Akshu kya hua. Kya kaha Maa ne.

Ak : Bas humesha ki tarah. Ek baar phir se samjhdari ki ummeed humi se karke aayi thi. Hume bol rahi thi ki hum yaha se na jaaye. Is baar unhone dekh liya ki tum unki baat nahi sunne wale to mujhe majboor karne aayi thi. Maine bhi mana kar diya Abhi. Theek kiya na maine.

Ab : Bilkul sahi kiya Akshu. Peechle kuch dino me jo kuch bhi hua usse ek baat to confirm ho chuki hai agar mujhe apni jindagi me Sukoon chahiye to Birla House ke logo ko apni thoughts se nikalna hoga. Waha par sab ke sab selfish hai sirf aur sirf khud ke baare me sochte hai.

And then Abhi left from their taking Akshu with him to do the last minute packing as they have to leave for Bangalore the next day.
