He started looking all around.

"Rishi!", She called again.

Rishi moved from his place and started roaming around the living room, while taking her name.

Rishi: Tanu...Tanu tum kaha ho?

His eyes started glistening.

Rishi: please Tanu samne aao.

He started looking at every corner of the room.

She again called his name,"Rishi!".

Rishi: Tanu...Tanu samne aao, kaha ho tum? Samne kyu nahi aati.

He again roamed his eyes all over the living room.

And suddenly he heard her voice from his behind,"Mai yaha hu Rishi."

All looked towards the direction and went shocked, whereas Rishi's back was still facing the back at the source of her voice.

His eyes shined and a bit of smile covered his lips.

Rishi:Tanu...

He immediately turned around to she her smiling but her eyes were flowing, she was in the same dress which she had worn on the day she was dead. Her head was filled with vermillion and her Neck was decorated with the mangalsutra of his name.

Rishi smiled wider while his eyes never stopped flowing.

Rishi: Tanu...

He started moving towards her whereas she was still stuck at her same position.

All other family members were smiling too and their eyes were either filled with moisture.

Tanu: Rishi!

Rishi moved towards her and was about to hug her when Katyani stopped him.

Katyani: Ruk jaa Rishi!

Rishi looked at her with confusion.

Katyani: ye Tanu nahi hai, Tanu ki Atma hai, tu isse Chu nahi sakta.

Rishi again looked at Tanu with confusion.

He tried to cup her face but he wasn't able to feel her.

He looked into her eyes and again his frustration was was back, he wanted to feel her, he wanted to be in her embrace but he couldn't, he just couldn't.

Tanu: Mai ek atama hu Rishi tum mujhe Chu nahi sakte.

Rishi: atma? Ye...ye kya mazak hai Tanu? Tum...tum mere samne ho par mai tumhe Chu nahi sakta, kyu? Kyu Tanu kyu?

Tanu: Kyu ki mai apna shareer chhod chuki hu Rishi.
Lekin...

Her eyes flowed.

Tanu: lekin tumne apni ye kaisi haalat bana li hai Rishi? Mera Rishi kaha hai?

Rishi: tumhara Rishi...Tumhara Rishi toh tumhare saath he guzar gaya tanu, ye toh bas saas leti ek zinda laash hai. Tum kaha chali gaiee mujhe chhod kar Tanu? Kyu chali gaiee?

Tanu: Mai nahi jaati toh tum chale jate aur mai tumhe kaise Jane de sakti thi Rishi? Tum toh...

She looked at Raj and Rano.

Tanu: tum toh Bauji aur Rano aunty ki jaan ho.

Rishi: Aur tum meri jaan thi...ye baat kya tumhe pata nahi thi?

Tanu: Rishi...hum dono mein se kisi ek ki jaan toh jaani he thi, so meri chali gaiee.

Rishi: tumhare liye kehena aasan hai Tanu, par mai he janta hu ki inn 20 saalon mein mai 20,000 baar mara hu, tumhari yaad mein.

He whipped his tears, while thinking something.

Rishi: lekin ab bas...Ab hum alag nahi hoge, ab...ya toh tum yaha mere paas ruk jao ya phir mujhe apne saath le chalo.

All went shocked.

Rishi: kyu ki ab aur tumse dur nahi raha jata Tanu, tumhare bina nahi raha jata, please mujhe apne saath le chalo. Please!

Tanu smiled.

Tanu: Nahi Rishi mai aisa nahi kar sakti, mai tumhe apne saath nahi le jaa sakti kyu ki mai khud tumhare paas aa rahi hu.

All shockingly looked at Tanu along with Rishi.

Tanu: Haa Rishi...maine tumse wada kiya tha na ki sirf tumhare liye mai phir se janam lugi, toh maine apna wada nibhaya hai Rishi...mai dubara Janam le chuki hu. 20 saal pehele meri maut ke agle he din.

Rishi: Tanu...Tanu ye tum kya keh rahi ho? Tum Janam le chuki ho toh ab tak mere paas kyu nahi aaiee, meri zindagi mein wapas kyu nahi aaiee.

Tanu: mai jald he aaugi Rishi bas thoda aur intezar kar lo.

Rishi: Mujhse aur Intezar nahi hota Tanu...tum bas abhi ke abhi aa jao.

Tanu: Tumhe intezar toh karna hoga Rishi, kyu ki maine Janam bhale he ussi roop ke saath liya ho par meri pehechan naiee hai, tumhe meri uss pehechan ki pehchaan Tanu se karani hogi, tumhe mujhe Tanu yaad dilani hogi, tumhe mujhe humara pyaar yaad dilana hoga, dilaoge na Rishi?

Rishi: Par tum kab aaogi Tanu?

Tanu: jaldi he...par filhal mujhe Jana hoga.

Bramhin: haa Rishi, Tanu Ki atma uske Shareer se bahar aaie hai agar vo 15 min mein phir se apne shareer mein nahi lauti toh tumhe tumhari Tanu kabhi nahi mil payegi, kabhi bhi nahi.

Rishi: lekin ...

Tanu: Rishi...bas thoda aur intezaar...

Rishi smiled with tears while nodding his head in yes and then Tanu soul started moving backwards but Aahana tried to stop her.

Ahana: Dee!

Tanu: Mai Jald he wapas augi Ahana...tu chinta mat kar.

And...she Vanished in the air.
