"apne baathaya nahi ki café me ithna kuch chal raha hai..."ask Karishma looking at her best friend who is still having tears in her eyes....
"baatha ne keliye kuch hai hi nahi..."
Karishma turns her face and watches the red sky.... "haan apne sahi kaha...hum apke hothe koun hai..." Haseena glances at her... "aagar hum apke kuch lagtha tho apne hume iss baare me baathaya hotha..."
"accha aap bhi tho humari baate nahi maan rahi thi..kithni baar hum bol raha the ki jo huva usse bhul jaane ki koshish kijiye lekin apne tho Humari ye baat nahi maani...fir hum kyu apse share kare..."says Haseena and Karishma gives her death glare..
Both stay silent for a while...only the cool breeze hitting on their faces...their faces are dull with all the crying and having a deep thoughts....they didn't know how to talk or how to express the pain with each other...now they feel strange to share..
"hume nahi pata tha ki papa aise kuch kar denge....kabhi sapne me nahi socha tha ki vo Suicide kar lenge...hume tho koi idea hi nahi tha....hume thoda der baat pata chala ki vo iss duniya me nahi hai...." Karishma says slowly and Haseena turns her face to her..
She sees Karishma is crying while talking about her father....she moves near her and holds her hand to give her moral support....Karishma nods her head lightly but doesn't meet her eyes....
"sher jaane ke baad hume laga ki life bahut hi accha hoga..in fact huva bhi..papa ka business bahut hi acche tarah se chalne laga aur humari family bahut hi kush thi.....baade baade deal ho rahi thi ek daam se sab thik hone laga...papa ka jo sapne tha ek baade businessman baane ka hone laga...fir acchnak kya huva ki business me kuch muskile aane lagi aur jo bhi papa ne paise invest kiya tho vo saare dupne lage....unhone business ko baache keliye bahut kuch kiya...loan liya...logo se thoda paise liye ye soch kar ki jab business thik ho jaayega tab vo unhee vaapas kar denge lekin aise kuch huva hi nahi....uska opposite pure business hi kahatm ho gaaya aur jo bhi humare paas tha sab kuch chala gaaya...papa ek dam se tutt gaaye the lekin unhone bahut koshish ki...iss wajse logo ki baate aur ghar aa kar chilna...vo sab shuru ho gaaya...pehle hum logo ne mil kar sambalne ki koshish ki thi..but sab haath se jaa raha tha...aur iss bich maa aur papa ke riste bhi kahi na kahi tutt ne lage the....maa ko haar koi ghar par kar sunna raha tha ki papa ne unke saare paise ko baarbad kar diya aur ab nahi de raha hai...unhone ne papa ka saath bahut diya...apne jewellers se leke apne saving tak sab kuch de diya fir bhi ye problem kabhi kahatam nahi huva....fir aise hi kuch din chal tha raha fir pata nahi papa badal ne lage...kahi bhi chale jaathe hai bina kuch bole aur maa ko logo ka sambalna hotha tha...ek baar tho papa 3 mahine tak ghar aaye hi nahi...baas unse phone me baathe hothi thi...jab bhi puch the hai ki tho bol hai ki business keliye kuch kar raha hai....humne aur maa ne unhee samjhne ki koshish ki ye sab chod the lekin nahi maane...humne bhi papa ko kahi baar kaha ki sab kuch chod dethe hai aur vaapas chale jaathe hai lekin ek baar bhi unhone humari baat maani hi nahi....jo bhi maa ne bank me savings me raka tha vo bhi bina baatha lene laage...apne baare me sochne lage...papa ko hum dono ki firkar kam hone lagi..fir bhi hum papa se bahut hi pyaar karthe hai....aaj bhi yaad uss din bhi hum aur maa unko samjh raha the ye bol kar ki ab humare paas kuch nahi hai baas vo ghar hai...papa ne kuch bola nahi baas ladhe rahe...ye nahi socha ki unki wajse humare family me kya kuch nahi ho raha par unhee koi farak nahi padha...hume kuch samjh nahi aaya ki kya kare....humne bahut kaha ki ye business gaaya tho gaaya lekin apke ek pariwar hai jo apse bahut hi pyaar kartha hai...vo baas yahi chahathe hai ki sab kuch chod the aur ek naayi shurwat karthe...par pata nahi kyu papa ki ye baat samjh nahi aa rahi thi.unhee baas logo ki firkar rahi thi ki kya bolnge...baas logo ke baare me soch the hai but family ko aise hi chod diya....agale din bhi subha aise hi kuch huva tha....hum college chale gaaye aur maa market....baas papa ghar par the...Market se maa vaapas aayi tho ghar andhar se locked tha....unhone kahi baar papa ko bhulaya tho koi wavaj aayi hai nahi...maa darne lagi aur andhar jaane ki raaste dundne lagi...fir kaise bhi karke back door se ghar ke andhar gaayi aur papa ko..."Karishma chokes thinking about that day and Haseena tightens her girp...
"maa ko kuch samjh nahi aaya..vo behosh ho gaayi....hum uss waqt college me the aur hume phone aaya ki ghar jadhi aane ko....hume pehale kuch samjh nahi aaya ki lecture ko chode kar bich me se kaise aaye..fir bhi hum gaaye aur hume news mila ki papa ne...."Karishma closes her eyes... "uss wqt hume kuch nahi samjh aaya..aise lag raha tha ki vo sab ek bure sapna hai....hum kabhi apne papa ko aise dekh bhi nahi sakthe hai...maan the ki unse galathi huvi hai lekin vo kabhi give up nahi karthe...but pata nahi uss din kya huva...ki unhone ye step liya....ye jaan the huva bhi ki unke jaane ke baad humare koi nahi hai....baas isi baat par hume unn par gusaa aatha hai....ek baar bhi humare baare me kyu nahi socha...kisi ko samjh nahi aa raha tha...meri maa tho hosh me thi nahi...baad me pata chala ki papa ne business deal kiya tha..aur usse kuch paise aane waale the jise humare life sudhar sakthi...jab vo nahi aaye tho unhone ye step liya..."Karishma her tears and finally turns her face to her...
"lekin unhee ye step lene ki jarurt nahi thi Hasu...hum dono ne kabhi unhee force nahi kiya...aakir tak hum baas inthna bole ki vo vaapas chale aaye aur kuch nahi..jo bhi hai usse hum sambal lenge...ek baar unhone humari baat nahi maani....maan liya hotha tho aaj ye din dekhna nahi hotha..ek tarah se dekha jaaye tho he just betrayed us...betrayed me....aaj tak humne unse kuch maanga hi nahi jo bhi kaha baas chodne ko kaha...par ye baat unhee samjh nahi aayi.....jaathe wqt bhi unhone sab kuch chinn kar chale gaaye...unke jaane ke baad humare jo bhi relatives hai kahi baate karne lage...yaha tak tho unhee ye bhi lagne laga ki hum dono ke wajse hi papa ne ye kiya....hum ne aur maa ne unhee bahut samjha ne ki koshish ki lekin logo ka kya hai unka tho baathe baana aatha hai..ye nahi soch the ki hume kithna darth hoga....din nikal the gaaya...aur hum dono thoda sambalne lage...fir bhi business ke log humare ghar aathe hai aur tamasha karne lage...iss liye maa ne vaha ka ghar bejh kar sab kuch sort out kar liya...humari padhayi chal rahi thi siliye uthni jalthi yaha nahi vaapas aa paaye...baas exam kahatam hone ka intezaar tha....bahut kuch saha hai Hasu...inn dino me...hum tho apne gussa kisi par bhi nikal dethe hai lekin maa tho kisi se apni feelings share kar hi nahi paa thi....humne unhee dekha hai raat ko apne room me rote huve...bahut hi bura lagtha hai unke liye...hum khush raha isliye vo kuch bol thi hi nahi...par hume pata hai ki vo kithna hurt huvi hai...."says Karishma and Haseena just hears her heart out...
Karishma turns to her and meets her eyes... "apko pata hai..jab ye sab humare life me ho raha tha koi bhi humare saath de nahi raha tha...ne maa ke side aur na papa ke side se....unhone tho hume apne saath le jaane ke fasla kar liya tha....hum nahi maane...hum apni maa ko aise chod kar unke saath jaana hi nahi chahathe the....uss wajse humare ghar me aur bhi jagda hone lagi...isliye hum dono ne mil kar ye decision liya ki hum yaha aa jaayege....taki hume sochna ka wqt mil jaaye..par pata nahi dadi yaha kaise aa gaayi...unhone kabhi humare maa ko accept kiya hi nahi tha..aur ab tho kuch bol hi nahi sakthe....baas iss wajse pareshan hothe raha the hai...matlab galathi koi kare aur uski saza koi aur le....yaha papa ki galathi thi..unhee rukna chaiye tha..par vo ruke hi nahi aur apne decision le liya....aur ab uski wajse hum dono ki zindgai baarbad ho gaayi..."
Haseena clears her throat... "aap ne ek baar bhi hume phone kyu nahi kiya....jab ye sab ho raha tha.."
"well bahut hi muskil ho gaayi...papa ne kaha ki kisi aur baat karne ki jaurut nahi..aur jise diary me humne apka contact number tha vo ghum ho gaaya...contact kare usse pehale ho sab kuch sar ke uppar se chala gaaya...."
Haseena rubs her back slowly...and Karishma wipes her tears thinking about those dreadful days of her life....then she looks at Haseena who is in deep thought..
"apne kyu nahi kaha ki café me problem chal rahi hai....hume tho laga ki sab kuch thik hai..."asked karushma and Haseena sits straight..
"hume bhi aisa hi laga tha....apke jaane baad humne aur dadi ne bahut acche tarah se Café ko chalaya but thoda paise ki jarurt ane lagi...humare paas jo savings the usse tho invest kar liya...firek din barish ke wajse roof tutt gaaya tha aur usse thik karne keliye humare paas jadha paise nahi the..hum tho Café ko renovate karna ka idea tha...pata nahi kaise Chahaji ko pata chal gaaya aur unhone humari madad karne keliye tyaar ho gaaye...hume aur dadi ko ye baat pasad nahi thi kyuki unki nazar humesha se Abbu ke property me raha tha...unke death ke baad vo ghar bhi le liya baas ye café chod diya....hum tho koi paise unse lena nahi chahathe the lekin uss wqt situation hi aise ho gaayi ki lena huva...humne bahut koshish ki unke paise ko vaapas karne ki...thoda thoda kar ke hi sahi...sab kuch thik hi chal raha tha....but ye nahi pata tha ki Chacha ki nazar humare café me thi....jaise hi profit aane lage aur humare Café thoda famous hone laga tho chacha ji isse bhi chinne ka socha...pressure dene lage ki time par unhee paise chaiye...hume jo paise mile vo sab dene lage fir bhi chacha ji khush nahi huve....aur unhone kaha ki aagar ki hum unhee pure paise nahi de paaye tho ye Café le lenge...ye baat sunn kar hume bahut hi gussa aaya...humne unhee bahut samjha ne ki koshish and time pucha fir bhi baat nahi maan raha hai...aur pichle mahine se tho yahi chal raha hai..dadi ne unhee bahut rokne ki koshish ki but kuch huva hi nahi....jab bhi café aathe hai hum dono ke bich ladai hothi hai..unhee pata hai ki ye café humare liye kithna important hai fir bhi nahi maane..."says Haseena...
Karishma puts hand around her and pulls closely.... "ye café humare iye bahut hi special hai Kirshu...uss vo Café humare Abbu aur Ammi ne mil kar baanaya hai..humari jo bhi yaade hai vo uss Café me hai..jab humari family ki death huvi tab ye café hi saath diya tha....aise lag raha tha ki humare Ammi ur Abbu kahi gaaye hi nahi...vo yahi hai...isliye hum kisi bhi haal me uss café ko bacchana chahathe hai....par pata nahi kaise...humare paas inthna paise hai nahi ki unke muh par fake maare....baas do din ka time hai...kaha se arrange karnge..dadi ne bhi kahi logo se pucha hai....uske liye time thoda lagega..."
Karishma holds her hand... "ab hum hai yaha par..mil kar sochnge..."
"kaise Kirshu....ye Café haath se chala gaaya na..humare paas kuch nahi hoga...baas yahi hai humare family ki nishani.....aaj hum jo bhi hai iss café ke wajse hai..isse kho nahi sakthe....
"tumare Chachjia inthne desperate kyu hai...iss café ke lene keliye..."
" ye aise jagha par logo ki bedh hothi hai...pehale iss café me inthna profit nahi aatha jithna abhi aatha hai...yaha tak ki kahi logo ne iss jagha ko lene ki koshish bhi ki hai..humne unhee tho maana kar diya lekin Chacha ji ko nahi kar sake.."
"haar koi apne matlab keliye soch tha....log bhi kithne selfish haina...par apko hum yakin dela the ki sab kuch thik ho jaayege....inthni jaldhi give up mat kijiye...do din haina..raasta mil jaayega..."says Karishma confidently...
Haseena looks up at her... "fir aap kyu give up kar rahi hai...kyu nahi accept kar paa rahi hai iss life ko...."
Karishma gulps.... "kyuki hume dar lag raha hai...."Haseena confusedly by hearing this... "kaise dar..."
"pata nahi...papa ke bina humne aaj tak kuch kiya nahi..lekin jabse akele huva hai bahut dar lagtha hai..ki life me hum kuch kar paaye ki nahi...aagr fail ho gaaye tho kya hoga...humare saath saath maa ke baare me bhi soch the hai....kya hum sab kuch sambal lenge ki nahi...logo ki baate tho chal thi rahi gi lekin kya hum usne jeet paayege...humare future kya hoga....inn sab ke baare me soch the hai bahut dar jaathe hai....humse nahi huva tho..."
"hum hai apke saath fir dar kis baat ka...apko yaad hai jab humari time tha tab aap hi thi jisne jeene ki umeed di thi...aur apne ye bhi kaha tha ki apke hothe huve hume fikar karne ki jarurt nahi hai....acche log humare saath hai tho dar k is baat ka....ye sab apne hi kaha tha..."says Haseena with smile..Karishma takes a deep breath... "maan the hai hum dono ki situation bahut hi different hai...par darth tho ek hi hai....kyu na hum ek dusare ka darth ko kaam kare...jaise apne pehale hume kiya tha...pata hai humare liye bahut hi muskil tha Abbu aur Ammi ke bina kuch karna....hume lag tha ki ye log vaapaas aa jaayege par aise huva hi nahi...dono ke bina life me aage badhan bahut hi muskil hai par humne kar dekhaya kyuki hume pata ki ye hum life chahe kuch bhi kar le vo log vaapas nahi aayege lekin iss baad ka hume sukoon hai jaathe wqt unhone hume duniya se ladne sikha diya tha..isliye hum unn saari baato ko bhul kar aage badha...aur hum apko bhi yahi bol raha hai ki aap bhi vo hi kijiye...apne ankho ke samne acche acche log hai...jo apka saath dena chahathe hai..jab tak aap ye accept nahi kar lethi..aise hi chaltha rahega...hume bhi dar laga tha but aagr fight karege you feel better...i can say that...."
Haseena cups her face and wipes her tears... "accept it Kirshu...fir dekhna ye life bahut hi kubsoorat lagne lagega...ye life bahut hi badi hai Kirshu..dhuk me ghum the rahange tho khud hi kho denge par aagar move on karege tho bahut kuch sikhne ko mile ga...."Haseena joins her forehead with hers...Karishma closes her eyes...tears were rolling from her eyes... "I am here..and I am not going anywhere....you will better now Kirshu...just let it go...."
Karishma hugs her tightly, cries on her shoulder and Haseena rubs her back to calm down.... they break the Hug and finally Karishma smiles widely...Haseena is happy seeing her Kirshu back...this is the Kirshu she had been waiting for...she kisses her forehead livingly..
Karishma kisses her cheeks and keeps her head on Haseena shoulder...Haseena chuckles at her antics and holds her best friend securely...they sits there and enjoys the sunset together..
"Sometimes in life you just need someone who will be there for you... Someone who will listen... Someone who will understand...No advice, no words just a shoulder to hear...."
