"Mujhe Apne Baaho me Leke So"

Sana was in her room, getting ready to go to Sid's room for dinner,when her mobile buzzed. It was shehbaaz.
Sana: Bol shehbaaz??
Shehbaaz: Kaha hai tu??
Sana: Patan Gujarat.
Shehbaaz: Tera call nhi aaya do din se isliye fikar ho gayi the.
Sana: Thek hu bhai mai.
Shehbaaz: Khush lag rahi hai bahot. Kya baat hai??
Sana: Shehbaaz mujhe tujhe ek baat batani hai??
Shehbaaz: Kya hua sab thek hai??
Sana: Tujhe maine bataya nhi, yeh show ka host Siddharth Shukla hai.
Shehbaaz: Kya bol rahi hai Sana??
Sana: Ha bhai.
Shehbaaz: Iska matlab Majuli bhi tu usse ke sath gayi the.
Sana: Ha.
Shehbaaz: Kaisa hai vo tere sath??
Sana: Pehle pehle bahot gussa karta tha. Ab hum dono ne decide kiya hai, ke hum dost ban ke rahenge.
Shehbaaz: Dost... ??
Sana: Ha dost.
Shehbaaz: Kya kar rahi hai Sana. Tujhe samaj aa raha hai, tu kitne musibat me fass jaayegi.
Sana: Shehbaaz mujhe nhi samajna. Kya mujhe khush rahne ka haq nhi hai kya?? Ab mujhe thodi khushi mili hai itne saalo baad. To mai kyu na usse jiyu. Aur tu jaanta hai, ke yeh khushi mujhe sirf uske sath he mil sakti hai.
Shehbaaz: Aur tere pati ke baare me kya bola usko??
Sana: Bola hai ke do mahine ke liye out of India gaya hai.
Shehbaaz: Aur uske baad?? Kabhi na kabhi to usse pata chal jaayega na ke tera pati nhi hai sath??
Sana: Shehbaaz yaar....
Shehbaaz: Aur Zoro ke baare me?? Sana...Zoro Siddharth ka beta hai.....
Sana: Shehbaaz mat....
Shehbaaz: Sana tujhe darana nhi chahta par ab jab vo yaha aa gaya hai to mujhe nhi lagta yeh baat uss se zyada din tak chupi reh sakti hai.
Sana: Yeh sooch kar mere hath Pau fulne lagte hai. Shayad mere naseeb me uski nafrat he likhi hai. Mere zindagi me jitna bhi hua hai, vo kafi nhi hai. Ab to bahot bada tufaan aane ko hai. Shehbaaz, Zoro Siddharth ko bahut pasand karne laga hai. Aur Siddharth bhi usko.
Shehbaaz: Vo Siddharth ka khun hai Sana. Usse kahi aur se pata chalne se pehle mujhe lagta hai tujhe he bata dina chahiye usse. Aur vo dono ko ek he jagah jo birthmark hai na Sana, jis din Siddharth ne dekh liya na to tujhe safai dene ka mauka bhi nhi milega.
Sana: Bata dungi usse, yeh project khatam hone ke baad. Sab kuch bata dungi.
Shehbaaz: Aur ab jo tu uske sath.....
Sana: Tu sab kuch jaanta hai shehbaaz. Mai uske liye kya feel karti hu, kya hua tha mere sath, sab kuch. To tu samaj na ke mujhe vo dost ke surat me he sahi, vo chahiye.
Shehbaaz: Mai sab jaanta hu meri behen. Bas dar lagta hai ke tu pehle ki tarah fir se, na tut jaaye. Aur Zoro ka matter bhi to hai na??
Sana: Shehbaaz Zoro ka pata lagne ke baad vo mujse bahot nafrat karne wala hai. Fir mujhe pata hai vo meri shakal bhi nhi dekhega. To mai thode dino ke liye he sahi apne liye uske aakho me pyaar dekhna chahti hu. Bas thode se din.
Sana started sobbing now.
Shehbaaz: Chal chod. Jo hoga vo dekha jaayega. Tu jee apni khushi. Mai hu na. Agar kuch hua to hum dono mamle ko sambhal lenge.
Sana: Thanks bhai. Bhagwaan ne mujhe taklif bahot di hai. Par mere aas paas itne acche log diye hai na isliye mai usse roz maaf kar deti hu.
Shehbaaz: Mai to hu he hamesha tere sath pagal. Chal tu enjoy kar. Bye.
Sana: Bye. Aur ha Shehbaaz, Zoro bahot yaad kar raha hai tujhe yaar.
Shehbaaz: Chal Tu aajaa wapas fir mai ek chakkar lagata hu.
Sana: Ok. Bye.
Her heart was hammering in her chest. Shehbaaz has made Sana face the reality she was not ready to face. Sid is going to loathe Sana when he comes to know about Zoro. What should she do?? Should she tell him now?? No no. He will leave this project whatever the consequences. She has no idea what else he will do. Her body was trembling. Calm down Sana. Calm down. Her heart started soothing her. What do you want for now. I want his company. She said. Then enjoy his company for now. Because deep down you know that when he comes to know the truth you are going to lose him forever. Her heart cried at that thought. But she will have to calm herself now. And go to him. He is waiting for you. With so much of love in his eyes. So go. Enjoy his company until it lasts.
It was 7:30 pm when there was a knock on Sid's door. There in the door way stood Sana wearing a plain baby pink below knee length, Sleeveless frock. She had tied her hair in a pony tail. She looked like a sixteen, seventeen years old girl and Not a mother of a five year old son. Sid did not smile back, but opened the door wide open for her. She entered and her fragrance teased his nostrils. He closed the door and went behind her.
Be with him,enjoy his company and don't think about what is going to happen in the future. Sana's heart consoled her. She sat on the sofa and took the menu in her hand.
Sana: Hmmm. Kya mangvau.
Sid pulled a chair and sat opposite to her, looking at her. He knew she was teasing him.
Sid: Ha manga. Chal manga.
She looked up at him and gave him a sheepish smile.
Sana: Siddharth.... Manga na.
Sid shook his head.
Sid: Ab to tu he mangayegi.
Sana: Nahi please aise mat kar. Tujhe pata hai mujhe nhi samjhta hai. Bhuk lagi hai na. Please manga de.
She forwarded the menu towards him and he snatched it from her. He picked the phone and ordered for both of them.
Sid: Us raat ko kisne order kiya tere liye?? Vishal ne??
Sana: Nahi.
Sid: Fir??
Sana: Menu me jo cheez pehle dikhe vo order kar liya. Aur vo soup bahot ganda tha.
Sid hid his smile. Acting as if he was still angry that she did not had lunch with him. Then his expression changed.
Sid: Aur tere pati ke sath.
Sana: Nahi. Sirf tu..
Sana looked down sadly. She did not want to speak about anyone, but them.
Sid: Sana......
Sana: Please Siddharth kuch mat bol yaar. Please.
Sid nodded.
Sid: Yeh sab chod. Mai tere se bahot gussa hu. Isliye apna khana kha aur dafa ho yaha se.
Sana: Hayee kyu??
Sid: Kyu matlab?? Meri marzi. Mera room hai. Mujhe nhi chahiye ke tu yaha ruke.
Sana went and sat on the bed, folding up both her legs.
Sana: Ab to Mai bilkul nhi jaaungi
Sid: Ajeeb zabardasti hai teri.
Sana: Ha hai zabardasti. Kya kar lega.
Sid: Kya kar sakta hu Mai. Hamesha haar jaata hu tere saamne.
Sana's smile disappeared. Sid realised his mistake and came to her. He lifted his hand and stroke her cheek.
Sid: I'm sorry.
Sana smiled up at him.
Sana: It's ok. Dekha sorry to bulvaya na tujse.
Sid: Kaisi hai na tu?? Chal ab tu bhi sorry bol.
Sana: Mai kyu bolu??
Sid: Kyu tujhe kuch bhi bahane se mere sath aakar lunch karna chahiye tha na??
Sana: Mai nhi bol rahi sorry. Aur vaise ladkiyon se sorry bulvana bhi nhi chahiye.
Sid: Kya?? Matlab... Kuch bhi?? Maine na aise kabhi pada na suna, ki ladkiya kabhi sorry nhi bolti.
Sana: Nahi. Nahi bolti. Aur ladkiyon se sorry zyada nhi bulvani chahiye.
Sid: Aisa kyu?? Kaha pe likhi hai yeh faltu ke baate. Kon bewakoof ne bola hai?? Ha....yeh bolne wali bhi koi ladki he hogi.
Sana: Chup kar.
Their food arrived and they sat on the table to eat. Sid as usual served her.
Sid: Chal kha.
Sana: Hmmm
Sid: Zoro ka call aaya tha??
Sana: Ha aaya tha. Vo to Mahi di ke ghar dhamaal karta hai. Mahi di usse zyada tokti nhi hai na. Mujhe bolta hai " Mama aap kitna crib karte ho"
Sid laughed out loud.
Sana: Tujhe hasi aa rahi hai??
Sid: Vaise baccha intelligent hai. Bada sahi pakda hai.
Sana: Accha?? Tera kuch zyada nhi ho raha hai??
Sid again started laughing and Sana gave him a stare.
Sid: Sorry. Sorry. Par reh leta hai tere bagair na??
Sana: Last time Majuli gaye the tab pehli baar raha. Aur usse zyada, maine usse miss kiya. Vo mujhe tasalli deta tha.
Sid got serious and his smile disappeared. Sana looked at his changed expression.
Sana: Kya hua??
Sid: Mere wajah se tujhe tere bacche ko chod kar aana pada na?? Mere zid ke wajah se.
Sana: Siddharth....
Sid: Sorry yaar. Maine aise soocha he nhi. Tu chahe to next trip se mat aa. I will talk to Mr Kapoor.
Sana: Pagal hai kya tu?? Tu yeh sab kyu sooch raha hai?? Koi baat nhi. Maine bola na vo enjoy karta hai vaha.
Sid: Par Sana....
Sana: Siddharth.....mujhe tere sath aana hai.
Sana stopped Sid mid sentence and their eyes locked. Sid nodded his head not breaking eye contact. Buzzing of Sid's mobile brought them back to reality. It was Maa. He picked the call with a smile on his face. He was so beautiful, inside out. Sana was admiring him.
Sid: Hi Maa.
Maa: Siddharth kaha pata hai beta tera?? Kal se ek bhi call nhi kiya tune??
Sid: Vo.... Sorry Maa. Kuch zyaada he busy tha....
Sana mouthed "Jhute" and he eyed her.
Sid: But I love you Maa.
Maa: I love you too mere bacche... Kya baat hai??
Sid: Kya??
Maa: Kuch zyada he khush hai tu??
Sid looked in Sana's eyes.
Sid: Ha Maa. Bahot khush hu mai.
Maa: Aur tu khush to mai khush.
Sid: I know.
Maa: Thek hai. Apna khayal rakh aur parso aa raha hai na tu??
Sid: Jee Maa.
Maa: Ok. Bye.
Sid: Bye.
Sid disconnected the call and looked up to see Sana eyeing him.
Sid: Kya??
Sana shook her head.
Sana: Kuch nhi.
Sid: Chal kha ab. Thanda ho gaya sab. Kuch aur mangvau??
Sana: Are nhi. Mujhe bass ho gaya. Mera peet bhar gaya.
Sid: Kya jaana tune kuch thek se khaaya bhi nhi.
Sana saw that Sid has not realised that he has called her by the name he has given her six years back. She did not mention it.
Sana: Khaya maine. Pet bhar gaya.
It was ten at night. They both were sitting on the sofa next to each other watching a movie. Sana once looked his way. This man. She had loved him so much. She still does. No you don't. Her brain said stubbornly. Yes she does, her heart yelled at her brain. And deep down she knew she has never stopped loving Siddharth Shukla. Never.
Sana: Chal Siddharth mai chalti hu.
Sid: Kyu?? Bait na thodi der.
Sana: Nahi. Neend aa rahi hai mujhe.
She got up abruptly. Sid too got up. He noticed sudden change in Sana's expression. He bend his head and looked directly in her eyes.
Sid: Kya hua hai??
Sana: Kuch nhi.
Sid: Bolegi kya hua hai??
Sana: Bola na kuch nhi.
Sid: Jaana??
He said it again. And Sana got emotional.
Sana: Hamare beech yeh aise kyu hai Siddharth??
Tears started streaming down her eyes.
Sid: Tu bata Sana??
Sana: Mujhse kuch mat puch Siddharth.
Sid: Maine kaha pucha?? Tere sawaal ka jawaab mere paas nhi hai na?? Isliye maine tujhse pucha.
Sana took her face in both her hands and started crying loudly. Sid removed her hand and looked at her tears stricken face. She looked at him and he spread his arms. She went into them. He held her closer. He too had tears in his eyes. They both stood until Sana has calmed down. Sid then removed her from his arms, as he feared he may lose control. He looked at her.
Sid: Thek hai tu??
Sana nodded her head and looked up at him. He took water from the night stand and gave her the glass. She drank from it. Sid drank from the same glass. Sana got emotional again.
Sana: Mujhe jaane de Siddharth.
Sid took hold of her wrist.
Sid: Nahi iss haalat me tu kahi nhi jaa rahi hai.
Sana: Mat kar aise yaar. Chod mujhe.
Sid: Nahi.
Sana: Fir mujhe apne baaho me leke so.
Sid was shocked with what she said. He thought he has not heard right. He took a step back, but did not leave her hand.
Sid: Kya??...... Nahi nhi Jaana...... Yeh galat.....
Sana: Thek hai fir chod na mujhe?? Jaane de na?? Rok kyu raha hai. Mai kya feel.... Chod jaane de.
She snatched her hand from him and started walking to the door. He rushed to her and took her by her arm, turning her towards him. He held both her shoulders. He was feeling so helpless. Sana did not care. She want him to take her in his arms and sleep. That's it. She is not concerned about how helpless he is.
Sid: Sana yaar.... Kya karu me tera??.... Pagal kar ke chodegi Tu mujhe.
He took her by her hand and brought her to the bed.
Sid: Leto....
Sana looked at him.
Sid: Kya?? Kya hua ab??
Sana climbed on the bed and he too joined her. Taking her in his arms was so amazing. He had never thought he would ever experience it again. But he did. It was like being brought from hell to heaven.
Sana: Siddharth.....
Sid looked down to find her looking at him.
Sid: Hmmm
Sana: Tu mujhse naaraz hai??
Sid: Nahi Jaana.... Mai bilkul bhi naaraz nhi hu. Tu aaraam se so jaa.
