Meanwhile in Smita's room.
"Mai Alien nhi hu.Dev ko maine Janam nhi diya" Speaks Smita pressurising her words. and sits beside Ananya ."Bhagwan ko mujh per daya aa gayi thi isliye unhone mere jivan me Ballu ko bheja " Speaks Smita looking at Ananya with tear filled eyes.
Ananya keeps looking at her trying to fix her words in her mind.In this 8 months of her marriage she never got to no that Dev is not her own son .
"Shaadi ke baad Mai Ahemdabad me humari big family ka hissa ban gayi" Speaks Smita after a brief pause ." Shaadi ke ek saal tak to sab thik tha per uske baad dhire dhire sab badalne lga" said Smita looking at her lap as it those days are still in front of her eyes.
"kyuki mera koi bachcha nhi tha.Pehle to hasi majak me baate hoti thi ." Smita looks at Ananya's face with a sad smile."phir dheere dheere log tane dene lage . Shaadi ke do saal hone tak to logo ko mere hone se dikat hone lagi .Yaha tak mere khane per bhi unhe problem thi .Jab bhi khane baithti tab log meri plate me rakhe roti ka daam ginate the aur ye ehsaas krate the ki mai un per burden hu ." Smita chuckles sadly.
".Wo log to Mahesh ki dusri shaadi bhi karwana chahte the .Mere samne hi ladkiyo ki tasveer dekhte the . Unhone Puri taiyari kar li thi per Mahesh nhi mane. Unke pariwar ne unhe manane ki bahut koshish ki .Jo ped fal nhi deta usse rakh kar kya karoge.ye banjh tumhe kabhi papa banne ki khushi nhi degi aur pta nhi kya kya per Mahesh nhi mane .Shayad isaliye kyuki wo mujhe insaan samajhte the ped nhi. " Said Smita with slight smile on her face which reflects her proud for her husband." Wo to humesha mujhse ye kehte the ki hum dono hi ek dusre ke liye kafi hai aur mujhe maa banna hai to hum kisi ko god le lenge.Per Sab ko Mahesh ka aansh chahiye tha. Ek waqt aaya ki mujhe khud aaisa lagne ka ki mere jeene ka koi matlab nhi hai" Smita paused while tears rolled down on her cheeks
While Ananya keep looking at her unbelievably .Why women are supposed to be a machine to give birth? Women are blessed with the capability to hold life within themselves, nurture them inside herself like her body part and then let them see the world ,to be a different life with his or her own identity despite of the fact that they are part of her body.
But this society has turned this blessing into a curse by judging a woman on capability of giving birth , by considering her like a birth giving machine without worrying about her health.
"Mahesh mere man ki dasa samjhte the isliye unhone apna transfer Mumbai karwa liya taki waha ke Situation se mai bahar aa pau per tab tak der ho gyi thi mai kyuki maine man me hi wo situation bna li thi.Khud ko useless samjhne lagi thi .Humara rishta bhi bigadne laga tha kyuki mujhe Mahesh ki koshishe nazar hi nhi aati thi .Jis dard me mai thi Mahesh bhi usi dard me the per unhone uss dard se uper humare rishte ko rakha aur maine....mai uss dard ke niche khud ko aur humare rishte ko dhire dhire maar rhi thi ." Smita wipes her tears ." Aur phir mai thak gayi. Dhire dhire mar mar kar thak gayi aur Maine khud ko ek baar me hi marne ka socha .Mai Railway line ki track Tak pahuch gyi thi per meri kismat achhi thi ki ek aurat ne mujhe wo bewakoofi karne se rok liya."Smita continues .A faint smile appears one Smita face when she spoke about that women.
"Usne apna naam DIPTI btaya . Usne Mujhse kaha ki wo apne pet me pal rahi zindagi ke liye pal pal sangharsh kar rahi hai agar kal ko uska bachha zindagi ke pareshani me apni jaan dene ki koshish karega to wo uske iss sangharsh ka khoon karega. Uski baato se mujhe samjh aaya ki Humari zindagi humare liye sasti ho sakti hai per jinhone Hume zindagi di hai unki to jivan ki kamai humari zindagi hi hai." Smita said wiping her tears .
"Wo Dabbu ki Maa thi?" asked Ananya feebly and Smita nodded.
"Usne kaha ki uska iss Dharti per koi nhi hai aur uske pass rahne ki jagah bhi nhi hai .Aur usne galat nhi kaha tha uska pariwar to dusre Universe me tha."Said Smita with slight chuckle and Ananya shivers at the mention of another universe."Mai usse apne saath le aayi uske madat ke liye per jyada apne swarth ke liye .Agar ek pregnant aurat ki madat karu to shayad bhagwan meri bhi sun le .cheh mahine wo mere saath thi .Hum achchi saheli ban gaye the . Wo aksar apne bachhe se baat karte hu kehti thi ki mai uski Maa hu . Dekho tumhari Maa tumhe bhuka nhi rehne degi aur tumhare liye mujhe khila khila kar gubbara bana degi." Said Smita mimicking her friend." Mujhe lagta tha ki wo mere dukh ko dur karne ki koshish kar rhi hai per wo Ballu ko mujhse pehchan karwa rahi thi. Un logo ke bachhe khoon se jyada dil ke rishte samajhte hai. Wo uss nanhe se dil me meri chhavi bana rahi thi uski Maa ki tarah tabhi Ballu janam lete hi mere hone ke ehsaas ke liye tarap raha tha . Aur Mai ...Mai ...uss bachhe ko god me lene ki Himmat nhi kar payi."Said Smita looking at the wall as it little Dev is playing on it.
"Dipti ki Delivery ghar me hi hui.Jaise hi usne bachhe ko janam diya usne mujhe bachhe ko saaf karne ke liye saman lane ko kaha aur mujhe bachhe ko dekhne bhi nhi diya .Jab Mai wapas aayi to wo nhi thi .Ha uski aawaz sunai di . Usne kaha ki Smita ek Maa ke liye uska bachcha iss duniya ka sabse khubsurat bachcha hota hai .Wo usse har roop me accept karti hai.Ye bachcha tumhara hai aur mujhe vishwas hai ki tum isse Maa ka pyar dogi . Ballu to mera beta ban gya per Mai uski Maa nhi ban payi .Dipti ne meri jaan bachai thi aur jaan dena uske Nazar me bahut bada gunah tha"
Said Smita looking down ." Aur maine .. Maine uske bete ko aaise Manosthithi me daal diya ki USNE SAAT SAAL KI UMER ME APNI JAAN DENE KI KOSHISH KI" said Smita and breaks down in tear .
