Jaane wo kaise log the

Shalini's father opened the door as the calling bell rang. It was a tired, devastated Adi standing before the door.

"Hello uncle, Shalini phone nahi utha rahi. Is she ok ?" The old man looked at the big wall clock instead of answering. Adi also saw it's almost 11:00 pm. "Oh sorry uncle itni raat ko.... actually patient ke sath der ho gaya..... if you don't mind..."

"She had smashed her phone and locked herself in room. I think she won't mind of you meet her." The worried fathe moved from the door letting Adi in. Not showed much interest to talk more and poured a peg of whiskey from the bottle. Adi blinked on it and went to Shalini's room.

"Shalu!"

Nothing was visible in the gloomy room but a low sound of sobbing could be heard. And a old movie song also playing in i-pad.

"Jaane wo kaise log the jinke pyaar ko pyaar mila
Humne to jab kaliyaan mangi kaanton ka haar mila......"

That too stopped with Adi's voice. The doctor anyhow got the bed edge and the sad entity in his muscular arms.

"Are you crying ?"

"Meri kya galti hai Adi ? How much bad person I am!"

Smell of her mouth made Adi whisper; "baap beti milkar whiskey party karti hai aur puchhti hai ki kya galti hai! Fuck!!"

"What are you blabbering ?"

"Umm nothing. Who told you bad ? It's your da... I mean you're such a nice girl!"

"Then why all run after Abhi not me ?"

"Don't compare yourself with......" Adi commanded in a loud tone but soon controlled himself and said softly, "don't compare with anyone. You're best in the way you are! And what you mean by 'all' ? You love Mayank and he loves Abhi, I know it hurts but who else ?"

Shalini looked for a minute at the stiff but calm face, then wiped her tears and removed those fair hands from her shoulder.

"Kiu yahan aane ka taqlif uthaye doctor sahab ? Jaiye na Abhi bhabi ke paas, he will feed you tasty dishes"

"I wished so because Abhi's cooking skill is really mind blowing... but I should give them personal space too" Adi answered her teasing smile not knowing how much it's hurting the drunken girl. She hurshly pushed the strong body but failed to move a little. She blabbered with every single tear drops, "to yahan kaunsa maja lootne aaye ho ? Jao na jahan bhi pleasure milta hai. Meri zindagi tabah karne ka haq nahi hai tum logon ko! mai kya koi robot hun ? Aisa kya ki hai maine jo sab....."

"Shalu, tum nashe me ho, try to sleep. We'll talk tomorrow. Ok ?"

-----------------------------

Next day Abhi limped out from bathroom with a blushy face. Mayank smirked on him. "Breakfast room me le aayu ?" He asked.

"No, I can go"

"Soch lo, tumhara devar leg pulling ke liye baitha hai udhar"

Both giggled and came downstairs.

Darshan was sitting there with closed eyes, seems like he's sleepy enough.

"Oye, soya nahi kya whole night ?"

"Kaise sota ? Tumlog jaise jaise awaje nikal rahe the!" A brat smile glittered at the corner of his lips seeing the couple's shy faces. "Chalo, finally tune Abhi ka innocence ruin kar hi diya. Adi ne apne pyare bhabi ka sangeet charcha miss kiya"

"Waise wo kamina hai kahan ? Bola tha aaj aayega" Mayank said before starting breakfast. Darshan smirked, "huh! Sasural gaya hoga"

"Sasural ? Adi bhai bol rahe the wo single hain!" Abhi exclaimed.

"Haan to bhabi ko thodi batayega wo committed hai ?"

"Majak band kar, aur ye bata kabse chakkar chal ra hai uska ? Aur kisse ?"

"Are tujhe kal bataya na monkey ? Wo to kabse Shal....."

**Ding dong 🔔

"Ruk me dekhta hu"

Darshan went to open the door and came back soon followed by a middle aged man. It was Shalini's father. He gave and warm stare to Abhi and directly said to Mayank, "I need to talk with you"

"Sure uncle, boliye naa. First sit down"

"Mai yahan baithne nahi aaya Mayank Markande!!" The older shouted, "Aur mai tumse privacy me hi baat karunga"

Mayank lifted his eyebrows to Abhi who nodded, a silent conversation held between them.

"Okay. Chaliye mere room me"

The older gave another warm stare to Abhi before following Mayank to his room.

Abhi was look nervous and weird for the silent treatment, also his body was paining. Hw wished to sip a warm coffee in Mayank's embrace like yesterday but.....

"Kya hua Abhi ?" Darshan jerked him a little.

"Hun, nothing..... wo Shalini ke papa hain na ?"

"Haan, l0da Dhiren! Aa gaya subah subah mood kharab karne. Don't pay heed to that old rat!"

"Lekin Daru bhai, wo mujhe waise dekh kyu rahe the ? Meri kya galti hai agar Mayank Shalini se pyaar na kare to ?"

"Arey Abhi bola na don't care, aisa sad face mat banao yaar. Mayank usko paath padha dega"

Abhi smiled dryly, a slight feeling of guilty started engulfing him. He couldn't eat in proper way, Darshan tried to distract him from agony.

"Abhi"

"Hmm"

"Kha kiyu nahi rahe ho ?"

"Wo actually pet me thoda dard hai." Abhi saw Daru is smirking like a pukish. "Has kiu rahe ho ?" He asked with red face.

"Finally you have lost your innocence bhabi"

"Oh shut up!"

"Ek baat batao Abhi, tum dono ki love story shuru hui kaise ? Haan ek jagah se belong karte ho aur sath me khelte the itna pata hai...but ye Aashiqui ki shuruaat kaise hui ? Maine us chutiye (Mayank) se kitni baar puchha, launde ne kabhi bola hi nahi..." Darshan looked at Abhi with an interesting gesture, like he's sure that Abhi will tell him their full love story...

If you too wanna a chapter on the beginning of their childhood love blooming, then comment down.

Though you already got many glimpses of their old love, if you want I'll illustrate more.........

Tab tak ke liye savdhaan rahein, satark rahein, dekhte rahiye BCCI ka serial. Sabak ek/5 ko, seekh pure ICT ko.

****No, I'm not supporting BCCI, but Ishan should play atleast one ranji match or contact team managers and share his problem (though I don't know the actual facts and coach babu also stated two difference speech two difference times about Ishan, but his dropping out is hurting me very much. Many of you know how much I love the baby..........)
