Tune Jo Na Kaha

5. Papa Mere papa

Chanda Ne Poocha Taaron Se 

Taaron Ne Poocha Hazaaron Se Sab Se Pyara Kaun Hai 

Papa Mere Papa 

After lunch i was putting the dishes in sink.... Pramod looked kinda sad the whole time.... i shouldn't have said him about that....but how am i supposed to tell him i dread to loose him every moment every second of my life  ? 

Pramod helped me clearing the table but somewhere he was avoiding me... 

Before i could talk to him my phone rang and my whole world came down ! It was garima she said papa- 

I felt like i couldn't breathe anymore Pramod holds me shaking me what happened but i couldn't speak.... i heard mom coming and telling Pramod something which i couldn't listen properly... my brain wasn't responding to me i just ran short of breathe unconscious into Pramod's arms

I woke up on the sofa my head was on Pramod's lap and mom was sitting next to me lightly rubbing my hand 

I immediately get up feeling confused then i remembered garima's crying voice in my ears 

Pramod lightly strokes my hair and speaks 

"Ruhail mansion chale Susheela?" 

I take a breath in and nod 

The whole ride was silent as we reached my house i saw mummy at the door she immediately hugged me crying 

I was holding my tears back... i couldn't let myself seem weak to her 

Pramod walks up to jay uncle and i see garima sobbing in vikram's shoulder holding a paper 

When she sees me she comes to me running she was going to hug me but i sign her to stop

I couldn't take in anymore.....i felt like one word and i would go breaking down like a dam 

I walk inside seeing my father laying dead... this was the moment i knew would come...but this soon? At 8 in the morning i was here talking to him he was alright and now at 3 he's no more? 

I kiss his forehead for the last time and cover his face standing up walking to dad 

Beta ye...he hands me a letter.... ye kal diya tha usne..bola kuch bhi ho meri dono betiyo ko ye- he was choking on words... I'm sorry beta ! 

I lightly hold his hand giving him assurance and take the letter and hand it to Pramod 

He looked confused but he didn't question me.... i was in no condition to open it right now... i just didn't want to cry...i was always the strong one 

I wanted to stay with mummy but she sent me back saying dad needed me... that's when i realized the fact that Pramod always blamed himself for things and now i see where he got it from... jay uncle thought it was his fault as a doctor... he lost his best friend too 

So i tell Pramod to take me back with jay uncle 

Pramod could be annoying but he was the most understanding person.... he knew my condition and he did his best not to question me but just comfort me 

Reaching home dad goes to his room needing some time to talk and i walk to mine 

Pramod was sitting on the bed waiting for me 

Mai... aati- 

Nahi Susheela... he hold my hand making me sit with him 

You don't need to pretend in front to me he says.... here comes the breaking of my dam 

He hands me the letter and says i think you should read it... 

With trembling hands i open the letter 

Bailbhuddi 

Maine pata h ab tak ek aasu na bahaya hoga tune !bohat sakt banti h na !  Bachpan se lagta tha ki meri favorite garima h....par tu galat thi...usse jada maine tera socha h....kyuki tu na chant nhi h....dar tha mujhe log tere saaf dil ka fayda na utha le....aur tu bolti thi garima h na teri garden(guardian) angel par manne pata tha kabhi na kabhi tum dono bade ho jaoge apne pariwar me lag jayegi wo to....par tu 12vi me thi...jab maine pahli baar tanne damad ji ke sath dekha... manne pata tha tera garden angel wo h....tune kabhi bola nahi par manne dekha h kitna pyaar karti thi tu...aur wo bhi... isliye chate the ki tum dono shadi kar lo.... kyuki tum dono adhoore ho ek dusre ke bina.... aur beta jindigi sabko dubara mauka nahi deti h... kabhi kabhi jisse pyar karte h na unko jatana bhi padhta h... manne bhi ye baat bohat der se samaj aai thi...aur tu thahri meri bailbhuddi beti

Isliye aaj bata raha hu....mai tere se bohat pyaar karta tha...abhi bhi karta hu...kabhi apne aap ko kam mat samajhna 

I fold the paper and look at pramod for a moment....papaji was right about him

He was my safe... my guardian angel !
