Khamoshiyaan (Completed)

Part 12

Fateh contacted the lawyer.
Tejo got ready and Fatejo left to the lawyer's office.
Scene shifts to the lawyer's office,
The lawyer: Aap dono ko conform divorce chahiye?
Fateh was not speaking but Tejo spoke.
Tejo: Haan......hum dono ko chahiye divorce. Conform.
Fateh nodded.
The lawyer: Kyun?
Fatejo were unable to tell the reason.
Fateh(stumbling)(teary eyed): Kyunki......hu......hamari.....sha.......shaadi......zabardasti.........hui.....hui....thi.
The lawyer: Ok......but..........aap logon ko divorce itni jaldi nahi milega. As aapki shaadi ko abhi ek mahina bhi nahi hua hain. Court aise mamlon mein time deta hain couples ko ek baar aur sochne ka aur ek dusre ko jaan ne ka. Toh aap dono ko 2 mahine saath bitana hoga. Uske baad bhi agar aap divorce lena chahenge then we will finalize. For now you both have to live together. 😊
Fatejo looked at each other. Fateh was happy in his heart but Tejo was not.
Fatejo left. They came back home.
Fateh(in mind): I promise Tejo ki main tumhe inn do mahino mein vo saari khushiyaan dene ki try karunga jo tum deserve karti ho.
For the next two months Fateh tried his best to keep Tejo happy. Tejo was also now seeing the real Fateh. She has started to like Fateh. Meanwhile Fateh loves Tejo immensely. He will be not able to live without her. Everytime he sees HIS TEJO happy his heart jumps out in joy.
Fateh and Tejo were having breakfast,
Tejo: Accha Fateh agar main writer ban na chahu toh mujhe kya karna hoga?
Fateh: Writer bann ne ke liye literature subject ko le kar padhna parta hain.
Tejo: Ohhh.......ok. Accha yaha par agar kisi college mein admission lena ho toh uski fees kitni hogi?
Fateh: Lag bhag 18,000 se 1 lakh tak.
Tejo choked and started coughing.
Fateh: Arrey yeh lo paani pee lo.......
Tejo: Aur loan lene ke liye kya karna hoga?
Fateh: Loan lene ke liye tumhe kuch formalities puri karni paregi aur fir tumhe loan mil sakta hain. Lekin tum yeh sab kyun pooch rahi ho?
Tejo: Vo main soch rahi thi ki college mein Literature mein BA karu aur fir writer banu. Vo kya hain na ki agar apne pairon par khari ho jaaungi toh accha hoga. Warna tumse durr jaane ke baad main kya karungi. Isiliye.
Fateh nodded in ok.
Fateh's heart pained at her words. He will not stay alive if she leaves him......but for her happiness he is ready to sacrifice everything. Even his own dream of spending his life with HIS TEJO.
Fateh: Accha Tejo main chalta hoon. Tum apna khyaal rakhna.
Tejo: Thik hain......accha Fateh suno......
Fateh: Haan bolo.......
Tejo: Tum agar mujhe loan doge toh uske badle mein kya loge?
Fateh: Matlab?
Tejo: Matlab agar main tumse loan loon toh tum mujhse badle mein kya loge?
Fateh: Tum mujhse loan kyun logi?
Tejo: Vo mujhe college mein admission lena hain. Isiliye.........
Fateh: Toh mujhse loan lene ki kya zaroorat hain? Main tumhara pati hoon.....haan do mahine ke liye hi sahi lekin hoon. Isiliye main bhar doonga.
Tejo: Nahi Fateh......mujhe ab kisi ka ehsaan nahi lena hain. Kya pata ki kal mein vo ehsaan chuka bhi paaungi ki nahi. Aur ehsaan o tale jeene mein bohot dum ghoot ta hain Fateh. So please........
Fateh: Ok thik hain......main tumhe loan doonga aur uske badle mein........
Fateh started coming close to Tejo. Tejo was moving backwards. Fateh trapped her in between the wall and him. Tejo closed her eyes.
Fateh: Mujhe accha khana khilana parega.
Tejo: Haan?
Fateh: Haan......main agar tumhe loan doonga toh tumhe mujhe badle mein acche acche dishes khilane parenge tumhe. Har roz nahi lekin kabhi kabhi.
Tejo chuckled.
Fateh: Tumhe kya laga?
Tejo: Vo mujhe......mujhe laga ki........
Fateh: Ki main tumhare saath.......main jaanta hoon ki tumne kya socha tha.....lekin chinta mat karo....main itna bhi ghatiya insaan nahi hoon.
Saying this Fateh left.
Same day,evening,
Fateh came back home.
Fateh: Tejo......Tejo.......kaha ho tum?
Tejo: Main yaha hoon......
Saying this Tejo came out from the kitchen with a small cake decorated with cream and sprinkles.

👆The cake.
Tejo: Happy Birthday Fateh.
Fateh didn't speak anything. He was teary eyed.
Tejo placed the cake on the table and went to Fateh. She sat infront of him just like a mother.
Tejo: Fateh main jaanti hoon ki tum apna birthday celebrate nahi karte ho.......aur khas karke tab se jab se Gurpreet aunty tumhe chod kar chali gayi. Lekin iss saal tum karoge birthday celebrate.
Fateh: Nahi Tejo mera mann nahi hain.
Tejo: Please Fateh........accha chodo mat karo tum birthday celebrate lekin tumne kabhi socha ki aunty ko kaisa laga hoga jab tumne apne aap ko aise rakhna shuru kar diya? Socha tumne ki unhe kaisa lagega jab vo upar se dekhengi ki unka beta bohot dukhi reh raha hain.....uski zindagi mein gum,gussa aur nafrat ke siva kuch nahi hain. Kabhi socha tumne ki unhe kaisa lagega jab vo yeh dekhengi ki unke jaane ke baad unka beta khushiyon se katti kar baitha hain? Bolo.....kabhi socha tumne?
Fateh nodded in no.
Tejo: Toh aaj tum apna birthday celebrate karo. Apne liye na sahi lekin apni mumma ke liye......please........
Fateh looked at Tejo's eyes which were pleading him.
Tejo: Aur ek baat jaante ho Fateh.....asli khushi wahi hain jo apno ke saath baati jaa sakti hain.
Fateh remembered that the same thing was told to him by his mother when he was a child. He saw a reflection of his mother in Tejo.
Fateh wiped his tears and cutted the cake. Tejo sang for him.
Fateh made a wish.
Fateh(in mind): Meri Tejo ko hamesha khush rakhna.
Fateh feeded Tejo cake. Tejo then prepared his favourite food. She feeded Fateh.
Fateh: Tejo tum mere liye itna sab kar rahi ho.....kis haq se?
Tejo: Dosti ke haq se........tum mere bestfriend ho.
Saying this Tejo again feeded Fateh. Fateh also feed Tejo.

Scene End.
Precap: Fateh had a fight......Tejo scolds him......Fatejo's divorce.
