Ek Duje Ke Vaaste

100. His Caring Anger

Hello ! Welcome to 100th Part...

In the Singh mansion, an air of tension gripped where Sumedh, Ragini, and Shekhar anxiously awaited the return of Mahi & Mallika...

Ragini's worry etched on her face, she exclaimed, "Ye dono abhi tak aaye kyun nahi?"

Attempting to reassure, Shekhar said, "Mahi ne kaha tha na ki Mallika mil gyi hai... Safe hai woh log, chinta mat karo aa Jaenge!"

As the words hung in the air, Sumedh, rising from his seat, spoke, "mai call karta hun..."

Just as he was about to dail the number, Mallika entered inside...

The trio stood in astonishment, their concern deepening as they observed Mallika's unexpected condition.

Ragini rushed to her, engulfing her in a tight hug. "Mallika, kaha thi tum? Kitni tension ho gyi thi hume..." she exclaimed, concern filling her voice.

Quickly breaking the embrace, Ragini noticed Mallika's condition. "Or ye... ye itni chot kaise lagi tumhe?" she inquired, genuine worry furrowing her brow.

Attempting to brush off the worry, Mallika reassured, "Don't worry bua, mai theek hun."

Sumedh, with a stern expression, spoke, "Theek ho? Ye sar pe patti bandhi hai, haath mein bandhi hai, or keh rahi ho theek hun! Mana kiya tha ki mat jao lekin nahi, har wakt zid karti rehti ho, kabhi baat nahi sunti..."

Mallika attempted to explain herself, but Ragini intervened, supporting Sumedh, "Bilkul theek keh raha hai woh..."

Shekhar, joining the conversation, questioned Mallika, "Mallika, ye chot kaise lagi tumhe? Aur  tum office nahi gyi thi toh itni der se thi kaha?" 

Mallika explained the events, leaving out the part about Mehek. Ragini expressed concern.

Ragini, tearfully, "Dekha! Isliye humne tujhe mana kiya tha bahar jaane se! Maine kaha tha ki woh Ahuja jaroor kuch na kuch karega a..au..aur u..usne.. A..aj.. Bhagwan ki kripa se tu aaj bach gyi beta warna aaj hum tuj.he bh..bhi ac..accident m..mein... kh..kho d.dete..."

Ragini couldn't hold back her emotions and broke into tears, The room was filled with a poignant silence as Mallika comforted Ragini with a hug, and wiped her tears.

Ragini : "par.. par tumne toh kaha ki tum behosh ho gyi toh phir tumhe bachaya kisne?"

Mallika responded with a serene smile, "Wahi jise na bacha pane ka dukh mujhe aaj tak tha!" 

They looked at her in confusion...

Mallika : "Accidents mein log aksar apno ko kho dete hai... Humne bhi dad ko khoya Par aaj mujhe mera koi khoya hua wapas mila hai..."

Ragini, puzzled, asked, "Khoya hua wapas mila hai? Kau..."

Her words remained in her mouth as she saw Mehek entering with Mahi...

Mallika and Mehek shared a warm smile, leaving others speechless. Their confusion turned to disbelief as Mehek walked in with Mahi. The room fell silent as everyone processed the unimaginable sight of Mehek, presumed dead for three years, standing before them, alive and well.

Mallika : "Mehek! Mehek ne mujhe bachaya..."

Ragini, in disbelief, stammered, "Me...Mehek! Tum toh teen saal pehle... Aisa kaise ho sakta hai? Vishwas hi nahi ho Raha hai."

Mallika, with a smile, acknowledged, "Vishwaas toh mujhe bhi nahi ho raha tha Bua, jab maine Mehek ko waha par dekha!... Mujhe laga ki ye sirf meri ek imagination hai, kyun ki pehle bachpan mein bhi ek baar aisa ho chuka hai mere saath or tab bhi Mehek ne hi mujhe sambhala tha! Par... Ye sach hai, Mehek zinda hai... Par kaise, ye sirf use hi pata hai."
