Karle Tu Bhi Mohabbat

Chapter-60

Getting up from the bed, she saw Geeta already asleep... must be tired of today's village sight seeing.
Slowly, Naina walked out of the room. It was quite outside, maybe everyone has already fallen asleep. She sighed and goes towards the brother's room.

Knowing, that she shouldn't be doing this... but still she slowly peeked a little from their room window, she suddenly  frowned.
"Pappu, toh apne kamre mein nahi hai. Yaha toh bss Bablu so raha hai."

Sighing dejectedly, she was going back to her room. But, suddenly she saw someone's shadow at the terrace.
"Kahin Pappu toh nahi?"

She went to the terrace and saw Pappu, standing there. Going towards, she tapped at his shoulder... Pappu get startled, he tries to hide something... his tears.

He saw Naina in front of him and asked a little rudely,
"Kya hua? Aap dekhne aayi hai ki main abhi tak roya ki nahi?"

She pursed her lips and said,
"Nahi, Pappu. Main... Main toh bss thisi hawa khaane yaha chhat par aagayi. Tum? Tum kya kar rahe the?"

"Kuch bhi nahi... Ab aap jao mujhe akele rehna hai."

Naina felt a little bad for him. She choose to stay with me for a few minutes.
Pappu saw hee still standing and said angrily,
"Ab kya aap hume sach mein rota dekha chahti hai? "

"Tumhe bohat bura laga hai ki hamara rishta tut gaya."

"Kyu? Aap udaas nahi hai... Ha, aap kyu hongi? Shayad aap bhi gaon ke ladke se shaadi nahi karna chahti thi... Sheher mein rehna hai pasand hoga aaapko... Yaha hamare sath fass jaati."

Naina shook her head and said,"Aisa nahi hai, Pappu. Mujhe uss baat se koi  faraq nahi padta."

"Huh? Ab kuch fayda nahi bolne ka, Naina ji. Aapka kya jaane main abhi kaisa mehsus kar raha hu? Apme kabhi mehsus kiya hai jaise... Jaise aap kisi se boht paay karne lag jaao... Uske sath rehne ke sapne sekhne lag jao... Aur phir woh insaan... Woh insaan aapka kabhi ho hi na paaye... Sapne sapnw bankar hi reh gaye."

Naina know what was he trying to say? She knew that feeling... It felt terrible... Very heartbreaking.

Pappu sighed.

"Pappu, sach batau main yeh shaadi se khush nahi thi-"

"Jaante hai, hum. Aap khush nahi the." Pappu said l.

Naina got  a little angry, "Phir bhi tum shaadi ke liye keh rahe the... Kyu?"

"Hume laga shayad aap abhi khush nahi hai par shaadi ke baad sab theek ho jaaye. Aur nahi bhi hota toh main... Main apni puri koshish karta ki aapko khush rakhu, kabhi udass nahi hone deta...phir aapko bhi lagta ki aapne shaadi karke sahi kiya."

Naina anger melted away with his honest answer.

She asked, "Toh tum aise kyu baat kar rahe the? Badtameezi se?"

Sighing he answered, "Sabne yaha par ek dharna banayi hui hai... sheher ki ladkiyon ke liye. Main bhi unhi mein se tha... laga ki aap bhi akdu, gussel, sabko khud se chota dekhne wali hai. Magar, dheere-dheere hume yakeen hua ki  aisa nahi tha... sabke liye aaoke mann mein pyaar ko dekha, aapka woh uss ped ki puja karte hue dekh... Aapne dhaaga bandha tha kya?"
Pappu asked suddenly going off the topic. Naina nodded, fortunately Pappu didn't saw, Sameer with her.

"Bss aapko thoda galat samjh liya tha. "
He said.

Naina smiled, "Ek baat kahu?

Pappu laughed and nodded, "Keh lijiye... Magar sach bataye aisa lag raha hai jaise rishta hone se pehle ladka -ladki baat kar rahe ho... Waise hi ho raha hai."
