LOVE REKINDLED

Forget the past & live the moment

A week later,



Meera and Sara arrived at Krish's home with anticipation in their hearts. They were eager to see Priya  and reconnect as a family. As they entered the house, Krish and Kriti welcomed them warmly, but their expressions betrayed a hint of sadness.

Sensing something amiss, Meera asked Krish about Priya's whereabouts.

Meera: Krish? Meri bachhi kaha hai?
Krish: Aunty woh actualy...Priya woh..
Kriti: Priya yaha nahi hai, chali gayi yeh shehar chhodke.
Sara: Shehar chhodke? kya matlab?
Krish: Sara, Priya do din pehle mera ghar chhodke kisi aur shehar mein rehne chali gayi hai aur mujhe nahi pata kaha gayi hai.
 
Meera's heart sank, realizing that her daughter had slipped away once again. Krish hesitated for a moment and then handed Meera a letter.
Krish: Yeh letter Priya ne aapke liye chhoda hai.

With trembling hands, Meera opened the letter and began reading. 

Maa I hope aap aur baaki log ghar pe theek honge.
Mujhe pata tha aap mujhse milne ek na ek din Krish ke ghar zarur ayengi, isiliye maine yaha se jaldi nikal jana sahi samjha aur mai waise bhi yeh sheher chhod ke jaaney waali thi , aur isi mein sabki bhalai hogi.

Aapko pata hai maa, uss din jail ke bahar aapki ek jhalak paakar mai kitni khush ho gayi thi. Aapko dekhkar mai apne saarey dukh mano jaise kuch pal ke liye bhool hi gayi thi aur saare puraney achhe-burey yaadein mere saamne aane lagi thi.
kaash mai aapko ek baar gale lagati, ek baar aapke bahon mein roo leti...kaash maa. Par aisa nahi kar sakti kyunki mai majboor hoon.

Maine decide kar liya tha ki mai aapko kuch bhi nahi bataungi, lekin abb mujhse raha nahi gaya. Bahut see baatein hain jo main aapko batana chahati hoon, kitna kuch aapse kehna chahati hoon, gale lagaakar rona chahati hoon. Lekin uske pehle mai aapse maafi mangna chahati hoon, jo dard se aapko aur baaki ghar ke logon ko guzarna pada uske liye mujhe maaf kar dena maa. Mere kaaran Shivi ke saath jo bhi hua, mai khud ko kabhi maaf nahi kar paungi. Uss ghatna ka bojh main hamesha uthaati rahoongi.

Maa mujhe aapse ek bohot zaruri baat batani hai, Aapki ek chhoti si 1.3 saal ki ek poti hai aur mai usse bohot zyada pyaar karti hu apney jaan se bhi zyada. Aapne sahi padha, Mai maa bann gayi hu aur Mr. Kapoor papa. Ekdum apney papa par gayi hai, uske aankhen , uski baatein, harkatein sab kuch Mr. Kapoor jaisa hai. Bilkul pyaari hai.
Pihu Kapoor hai uska naam, iske papa ne yeh naam bohot pehle hi decide kar liya tha. Krish ke paas uske photos hain, dekh lena.

Aapko pata hain, jiss din mujhe jail hua tha uske agle din hi mujhe jail mein pata chala ki mai pregnant hoon. Mai bohot khush thi, maine Mr. Kapoor ko call bhi kiya tha mere pregnancy ke baare mein unhe batane ke liye. Maine excitement mein poori baat ek hi saans mein bol diya, yeh bhi nahi pucha ki phone ke uss paar kon tha. Mujhe baad mein pata chala, Mrs. Kapoor ne call answer kiya aur uske baad jo hua aap yakeen nahi karengi. 
Woh mujhse milne ke liye jail ayi thi, aur dhamki di mere bachhe aur Mr. Kapoor ko lekar, Unhone kaha ki agar mai Mr. Kapoor ko apne bachhe ke baarey mein bataungi toh woh mere bachhe ko orphanage mein daal dengi aur kisi ko kuch pata bhi nahi chalega, aur yeh bhi kaha ki mai yeh shehar chhod ke chali jaun, agar mai apne bachhe ke saath Mr. Kapoor ke zindagi mein wapas aungi toh woh Mr.Kapoor aur Pihu ke harm karengi.
Unke jail se jaaney ke baad Krish mujhse milne aaya tha aur maine krish ko saari baat batayi aur decide kiya mai Mr. Kapoor ko bataungi chahey kuch bhi ho, kyunki pihu unki bachhi hai unka haq hai. Mai Mr. Kapoor ke aaney ka wait kar rahi thi, yeh khushkhabari dene ke liye lekin, Mr.Kapoor ne sab kuch ek jhatke mein hi khatam kar diya. Woh aaye aur saath mein divorce ke papers bhi le aaye. Unhone meri bachi kuchi ummeed bhi tod diya maa. Aur phir maine bhi sign kar diya unn papers pe aur unhe apne bachhe ke baarey mein bhi nahi bataya, batati bhi toh kaise? Pihu ke papa mujhpe bharosa nahi karte Mrs. Kapoor ke dhamki ke baarey mein. Mai dari hui thi, apne honay waaley bachhe ko lekar, Mr. Kapoor ko lekar. Mrs. Nandini Kapoor kuch bhi kar sakti hain.

Pihu jail mein paida hui thi, 11 March 2022 raat mein. Bohot dard se guzarna pada mujhe. Mere absence mein, Pihu ki parwarish aur khayal Krish aur Kriti ne milkar kiya bilkul apney bachhe ki tarah.
