Next Morning
"Bhai hamare pyaare Bahi..!" Haseena called Mohit very sweetly, who looks at her in disbelief.
"Kya chahiye tumhe?" He asked suspiciously, with raised brows.
"Hum chahiye nhi kuch..!"
"Toh phir kaam bolo?" He said.
"Kaam bhi nhi hai kuch..!"
"Toh phir itne pyaar se baat kyu kar Rahi ho humse?" He asked suspiciously. She frowned.
"Kyu hum pyaar se baat nhi karte aapse..!" She said grumpily.
"Karti ho (she smiled) par tab jab koi jaroorat hoti hai...!" He said with an ear to ear smile.
"Huh..(puffed her face) whatever, abhi waisa kuch nhi hai hume bas kuch puchhna tha aapse...!" She said with a smile.
"Puchho..!"
"Aap humse kitna pyaar karte hai?" She asked blinking her eyelashes.
"Waise karte toh ek percent bhi nhi hai par samjh lo bahot karte hai...!" He said to tease her, while she made a grumpy face.
"Haan toh humne samjh liya bahot pyaar karte hai isliye ab hum kuch questions karenge aapse..aap unka answer batate jana..!" She said, he hummed while rolling up his shirt sleeves.
"Hamara favourite food?"
"Maa ke haatho ka khana specially Shahi paneer...!" He answered.
"Favourite colour?"
"Mood par hai tumhare par phir bhi ek choose karna ho toh black..!"
"Hamara birthday?"
"17 May..!"
"Hamari wedding date?"
"15 February..!"
"Hamari memory loss kuyi huyi thi?" She asked.
"Woh us din...(He began in flow but he paused and looked at her) accident ki wajah se..!" He said.
"Anubhav aur papa ne sab bataya hai hume toh jhooth mat boliye...!" She said firmly.
"Toh phir humse kyu puchh Rahi ho? Jo unhone bataya woh sach hai...!" Mohit said with a smile.
"Par...(Interrupted)"
"Mohit, aap ready nhi huye ab tak.. office ke liye late ho jayenge..!" Naina said entering the room.
"Ho Raha hoon baba...tum bhi ho jao, jate time tumhe office chhod denge..!" Mohit replied, looking at Haseena who frowned .
"Haseena, tum bhi jakar breakfast kar lo..!" Naina said with a smile. Haseena hummed sadly and left the room.
"Hamari family Wale hai bahot chalak, itni easily batane se rahe waise bhi jab papa ko itna dar hai phir mumma aur bhai...woh toh bilkul nhi bolenge...phir kaun bata...*something clicked* Chachi ji..unhe sab pata hoga aur woh aaram se bata bhi dengi...!" She smiled happily but her smile soon faded as she remembered that she is in her house not with her in laws.
"Do din toh Kam se kam rukna padega warna bahana kya denge..... idea.. *smirking* Anubhav lekar jayenge..!" She smirked mischievously.
ANUBHAV
"Sir Aaj ke aapke meeting schedule..!" Jeevika said, displaying the schedule on her tablet as my phone rang. It was a surprise because no one had called me this morning on my personal number, and the surprise grew when I saw my wife's number flashing on the screen.
"Badi jaldi yaad aa gyi aapko hamari..!" I said tauntingly as I answered the call, knowing she hadn't called me once since going to her parents' house. And when I called her last night, she made an excuse and abruptly ended the call.
"Aapko nhi aa rahi thi isliye hume aa gyi...!" She replied, equally tauntingly.
Ah, how could I forget that taunting runs in her blood? She's the female version of her father.
"Ouu..raat mein..(I was about to continue when I noticed Jeevika, who was paying attention to our conversation), ek second rukna Haseena (I I said to my wife and looked at Jeevika with raised eyebrows), is there something else?" I asked her.
"No, sir...you can continue talking, I'll come back later.." she replied, but nervously. She's been working with me for the past month, but she never gets nervous, so why today?
"Hmm jao..aur sabko das minute baad meeting room mein bulao..!" I ordered, which she followed before leaving my cabin.
"Ab kahiye kya kah rahi thi..!" I asked Haseena, who retorted, "Hum nhi aap kah rahe the..!"
"Haan toh hum kah rahe the ki raat mein toh baat karne ka naam nhi le Rahi thi aur hume taane de Rahi ho..!" I said tauntingly.
"Haan kyunki raat mein tab hum apni mumma ke saath baithe the aur uska baad dinner phir so gaye...par neend bhi nhi aayi aapke bina..!" She said sadly.
"Sach mein?"
"Haan..pata hai humne kitna miss Kiya aapko..aapki kissiyon aur aapke cuddles ko...aapke romance ko..aapke pyaar ko...I need you Anubhav...!" She said in an innocent voice that made it hard for me to control myself.
"Tum thik ho na, aisi baatein kar Rahi ho?" I asked worriedly because I know she never speaks like this. Yes, she might miss me, but hearing these words from her is unbelievable to me.
"Because I really miss you, darling..!" She said in a seductive voice, sending a warning signal that something was about to happen.
"Toh gyi kyu?" I asked teasingly.
"Pata nhi tha na ki hum aapko itnaaaa miss karenge.. please aaj aap aa jaiye na Ghar...aap kahenge toh Ghar wapas chal chalenge aapke saath hi..!" She said sweetly, but my instincts were telling me that there was more to her sweetness. Still, I couldn't resist her sweet request, so I agreed.
"Thik hai phir shaam ko jaldi aa jana aap..hum wait karenge..!" She replied, and hung up the call with a smooch, leaving me even more shocked.
Pakka kuch gadbad hai Anu, warna itne pyaar se bye..na kuch toh hai.
AUTHOR
"Kya..? Aap apne Ghar ja rahi hai?" Haseena asked surprisingly over the phone call to her aunt.
"Haan, woh hamare Bhai ki engagement hai isliye..par tum itna kyu shock ho rahi ho?" Chachi ji questioned.
"Nhi nhi shock nhi ho rahe bas thoda surprise ho gaye ki Dadi ji Maan kaise gyi..!" She said nervously.
"Accha aise..woh toh shaadi hai isliye warna kahan itni jaldi maa ji mayake jaane deti hai..!" Chachi complained with frown.
"Wahi na..waise aap aayengi wapas kab?" She asked.
"Next Monday Tak aa jayenge..!"
"Accha..thik hai phir enjoy karna aap log engagement..!" Haseena said with a smile and then hung up the call after saying 'Bye'.
"Lo..sare kiye dhare par engagement phir gya...*disappointed* ab Ghar jakar koi fayda hoga nhi kyunki Maa se kuch puchha toh woh Anubhav ko bata dengi baki kisi se hum baat nhi karte aur Karishma ko shayad pata na ho..par ab Anubhav ko kaise mana karenge..!" She sat on the bed sadly when her phone buzzed again.
"Yeh kiska number hai..!" She said as an unknown number was calling her. At first, she ignored it, but then answered.
"Hello kaun?" Haseena asked.
"Hum, tumhari sabse acchi dost..!" Sweety said on the other side of the call, which was enough to fuel her frustration.
"Ab kya chahiye..!"
"Abhi bhi aise baat kar Rahi ho? Matlab Vishwas nhi hua tumhe hum par..hoga bhi kaise Anubhav ne bahot acche se brainwash Jo Kiya hai tumhara...!" Sweety said slyly.
"Unhone Kiya ya nhi hume nhi pata par hamara dimaag is waqt garam hai agar tumne dimaag kharab karna band nhi Kiya toh hum pakka tumhe acche se washing machine mein daal kar wash kar denge..!" Haseena angrily taunted.
"Arey.. tum toh bhadak gyi, shant ho jao kyunki abhi hum jo tumse kehne Wale hai woh tumhe aur gussa dilayega aur jo bhejenge woh dekh kar yeh gussa toh volcano ban jayega...!" Sweety said, looking at herself in the mirror with a smirk.
"Jo tum bol rahi ho utna kaafi hai hume gussa dilane ke liye isliye ab muh band rakho aur khabardar jo hume kuch bhi bheja..!" Haseena firmly warned her, but it was too late, her phone beeped with messages.
"Dekho aur padho...pata chal jayega ki kaun sach bol Raha hai aur kaun jhooth...aur Haseena yaad rakhna ek baat Anubhav tumhare samane jitna accha aur sidha Banta hai utna hai nhi...!" Sweety said before cutting the call.
While Haseena clicked on the message notification, her eyes widened in shock as she saw the photos. They were of Sweety and Anubhav together, but on two different dates.
In the first photo, Sweety was leaning over Anubhav, kissing his face, but in the second photo dated later, Anubhav was tearing Sweety's dress. Haseena's body trembled, her heart ached, and her body suddenly felt as cold as ice.
Summoning some courage, she clicked on the link, which led her to a news article dated seven years ago, detailing allegations against Anubhav. As she read each word, tears streamed down her cheeks uncontrollably. The article revealed that Anubhav had attempted to rape another girl after being accused of rape and attempted murder of his girlfriend.
Though the girl's name wasn't mentioned due to legal constraints, the hints strongly suggested that it was Haseena, who had been his girlfriend at the time. Overwhelmed with shock and disbelief, she sank to her knees with her phone in hand, the weight of the revelations crushing her.
It wasn't just a matter of trust or disbelief in the allegations against Anubhav; the evidence presented indicated that she herself had been a victim of rape and assault. The realization hit her like a ton of bricks, shattering her world and leaving her consumed by pain and anguish.
"Itna bada jhooth bol gya humse... Hamari zindagi ka itna bada sach chhipaya Gaya humse...!" She cried out vehemently, her anguish pouring out in torrents of tears.
It was evening when a cheerful Anubhav entered the Malik house, surprising his mother-in-law. "Namaste, Maa..!" He greeted her warmly, touching her feet with a smile.
"Khush rahiye par aap yahan aise ?" She asked surprisingly.
"Haan woh Haseena ko hamari yaad aa rahi toh hum chale aaye..!" He said smilingly.
"Haseena? Par woh toh thodi der pehle aapke ghar ja rahi hoon bol kar gyi..!" Meera said, startling Anubhav.
"Kya..? Mazak kar Rahi hai hamare saath..!" He said with a smile.
"Nhi..sach mein, woh thodi der pehle bol kar gyi ki aapke saath dinner par jaana hai aaj isliye woh wapas ja rahi hai..!" Meera said, her concern growing as her intuition told her something was wrong.
"Nhi maa..usne hi hume call karke bola tha ki shaam ko aakar hum use le jaye...dinner ka plan nhi tha Aaj ka aur na usne hume bataya..!" He also started to worry.
"Phir jhooth bola usne humse? Par kyu?"
"Hum phone karte hai..!" He quickly dialed Haseena's number, but it was switched off. He looked at his mother-in-law.
"Koi aaya tha Ghar par ya kuch Haseena ke liye?" He asked suspiciously.
"Nhi..par haan hume laga tha woh achanak se kisi baat se pareshan ho gyi hai isliye humne puchha bhi par woh kuch bole Bina..Koko ko bhi yahi chhod kar apna bag lekar chali gyi..!" She said worriedly.
"Koi baat nhi, aap tension mat kariye hum abhi pata karte hai woh kahan hai..!" Anubhav said, trying to reassure Meera, but deep down, he was also worried, a unwanted fear of losing Haseena gripping his heart.
To be continued...
