Anubhav was rotating the paperweight on his table..thinking about something serious maybe..
Akshay entered and coughed..AS looked at him..
AS- Boliye shreemaan, kya karya hai?
Ak- Kuch nahi Sir..main toh apko dekhkar surprise ho gaya..
AS- Kyun?
Ak- aaj chhutti thi na aapki?
AS- Uh-..kuch avashyak karya yaad aa gaya tha..woh chhodo...tum yeh batao, woh picchla mission khatm hua jispar hum karya kar rahe the?
Ak- haan sir...aapko reports mail bhi ki thi maine..aapne shayad dekha nahi..
AS- Oh..kshama kijiye, hum bhul gaye the..
Ak- No problem Sir..(smiled)..waise sir..(hesitantly)
AS- Kya hua? sab theek hai?
Ak- haan woh..actually aaj Riddhi ne jaldi aane ke liye kaha tha kaam se..toh..
AS- Kaam ho chuka haina tumhara?(Ak nodded)..jao phir..maze karo apni mangetar ke sath..(he smiled, Ak only blushed)
Ak- waise sir, bura na maane toh ek sawaal puchhu?
AS- Hmm..(he said, reading the report on mail)
Ak- aapko kabhi pyar hua hai?(Anubhav looked at him)..matlab..a..(nervously)
AS- Prem ka Anubhav kar chuke hain hum bhi..(he smiled)
Ak- Oh..kaun hai woh Sir? jisne aap jaise patthar ko bhi..(Anubhav glared at him)..matlab..aap jaise strict insaan ko pighla liya?
AS- Thi ek stree..kinhone humein apne jazbaaton ke sammohan mein le liya tha..aur hum bhi dil de baithe the unhe..par afsos..woh keval hamara bhootkaal hain ab..(he smiled)..filhaal sirf dost hain hamari..
Ak- oh..(he noticed a sad smile on AS's face and decided not to ask further)..ok sir, main nikalta hu..Jai Hind! And thankyou(smiled)
Anubhav nodded with a smile and looked at the mail again..but his mind was somewhere else..
Anubhav's POV
Haseenaji ke liye hum kaise var dhundhe? Maa bhi na, kaise kathin karyon mein fasa deti hain humein..(helplessly)..par ab toh dhundhna hi padega kisi ko..Haseenaji ke liye, jo unhe uchit prem aur sammaan de sake..(he sighed)
Anubhav's POV Ends.
---------------------
"Kyaaa?!" Haseena shouted as Ammi disclosed the fact that she had started hunting for good grooms again..and the fact that Anubhav was also helping her for that..
Ammi- kaan dukhgaye hamare Haseena..(she scolded)
HM- S..sorry..(nervously)
Ammi- tujhe agar theek na lage toh nahi dhundhti ladka..par beta hamara bhi toh soch na..humein fiqr hoti hai tumhari..aakhir kabtak saath rahenge hum tumhare?(Haseena glared at Ammi)...sacchai hai yeh..magar phir bhi..teri sehmati nahi hai toh tujhpe dabaav nahidaalungi main..
Haseena's POV
Kaisi musibat hai ab yeh..? Hum Ammi ka dil nahi dukha sakte..par Anubhav ko chhod kar hamare dil mein kisi aur ke liye jagah bhi nahi bana sakte....par hum yeh bhi jaante hain ki Anubhav humein ek dost se zyada kuch nahi maante..tabhi toh iss ladka dhundhne ke mission mein Ammi ka sath de rahe hain..humein bhi shayad maan jana chahiye..Ammi ki khushi ke liye..
Haseena's POV Ends.
HM- Hum taiyaar hai Ammi, aap dhundiye ladke ko..
Ammi- sach?(happily)
HM- Ji..(smiled)
--------------------------------------
Doorbell rang, Haseena opened the door..only to find Anubhav standing there with a smile..she smiled softly and allowed him to enter.
AS- Ammi kahaan hai?
HM- Woh toh so gayi..
AS- Itni shigr? keval 9:30 baj rahe hain..(he said, glancing at his wrist watch)
HM- Woh unhone davai li thi na, isliye jaldi neend aa gayi..
AS- Oh..
HM- Coffee piyenge?
AS- Avashya?(smiled)
A few minutes later...she brought two coffee mugs and gave him one..
HM- Khana kha liya?
AS- Ji ji..Maa ne atyant swadisht khana banaya tha..(he smiled, making HM smile)
HM- kya kaam tha?
AS- Woh..ammi ne aapke liye upyukt var dhundhne ka karya diya tha na humein..(he said, sipping his coffee)
HM- Ji..(she said with a small smile)
AS - Toh dhundh liya humne..
HM- Ji?(surprised)
AS- Kya? Haseenaji, aap itni sabhya, susheel aur sanskari hain..aapke liye var dhundhna atyant saral tha hamare liye..(he smiled)
HM- Shukriya..(she said and focused on her cup to hide her brimming tears)
AS- Aap theek hain?
HM- Ji ji..bataiye, kise dhundha hai aapne hamare liye? I'm sure woh bohot accha hoga..
AS- Woh ek businessman hai..Hamara bohot accha mite hai..college ke samay se..kal milvate hain aapse..yahi bataane aaye the..(he smiled)
HM- Oh..
AS- Chaliye, ab hum prasthaan karte hain..coffee bhi samapt ho gayi..dhanyawaad iske liye..
HM- Kya Anubhav..dost ko dhanyawaad bol rahe hain..(she said, taking the mug)
He smiled and went..she closed the door..tears streamed down her eyes...
Haseena's POV
Sach mein, unhe koi fark nahi padta ab..dukh iss baat ka tha ki humein Anubhav ko chhodkar kisi aur se nikah karna hai..par dard iss baat se ho raha hai ki woh ladka khud Anubhav chun rahe hain..(she sobbed)
Haseena's POV Ends.
----------------
Maa- Anu? beta so jaa..aankhe dekh apni..kitni sukh gayi hain..neend puri nahi karega toh aage kaam kaise karega?
AS- Bas thodi der amma..
He was continuously working since past 3 hours..his eyes were glued to the laptop screen...
Maa- so jana theek hai? mai jaa rahi hu apne kamre mein..
AS- Ji maa..hum bas sone hi jaa rahe hain..
Maa hummed and went.
Anubhav sighed and closed the folder he was working on..before shutting down the laptop, he went to his secret folder and adored a picture..
Anubhav's POV
Prem toh karte hain aapse..par jaane kyun hamara hriday ab tutne se darta hai..isliye shayad aap kisi aur ke sath hi adhik prasanna reh payengi...(he smiled sadly)
Anubhav's POV Ends.
