Maine Kiya Hai Intzar

Chapter 17 Tum kaun ho ?

Naina sat outside ICU while her father was inside being treated by the doctors. She was still in daze and felt as if several things happened within a flash of time. Last night when she had served dinner to her father , she had never ever imagined that the morning would change her life. Everything changed suddenly as if it was a script written by destiny. Till now She had not even accepted Sameer's apology and destiny made her father chose him as his soulmate.....Kuch cheezein zindagi me achanak hi ho jati hai.

Naina in mind : Kaisi ajeeb parishthi hai.Papa ander ICU me hai , aur Sameer ke sath mera rishta bhi jud gaya. Akhir bhagwan ki ye kaisi marzi hai. Kyun mujhe chain se jeene nahi de rahe hai wo.Agar Sameer se risgta jodna hi tha toh papa ko takleef kyun di. Jis Sameer ke liye maine itne saal sangarsh kiye , usey mere papa ne mere liye khud hi chun liya. Wo bhi tab jab abhi tak main usse naraaz hun. Mujhe nahi malum mera dil kya chahta hai , par filhal Papa ko khone ka darr dil ko khokhla kar raha hai....
Naina mummered to herself : agar Papa chale gaye toh main bahut akeli ho jaungi.

Sameer sat beside her with a bottle of water and handling her said : Mere hotey huye tum kabhi akeli nahi ho sakti ho.

Naina looked at him with a blank face and took the bottle from him.Sameer sat beside her but remained quiet.

Suddenly Naina asked : Tumne ghar pe bataya ya nahi , Nanu chinta kar ràhe honge.

Sameer : abhi paani lene gaya tha toh maine ghar pe call kiya tha. Nanu se bhi baat huyi .....aur maine unhe mere aur Papa ke beech huyi baaton ke barey  me bhi bataya.

Naina glanced at him but remained quiet and Sameer noticed that Naina was still not ready to share her pain with him. He softly held her hand and said : Nanu humesha kehte hai ki kabhi kabhi paristhithi humare hath me nahi rehti hai. Tab sabkuch upar waley ke hath me chor dena chahiye.....Itna mat socho. Sab acha hoga aur sahi hoga.

Naina mumerred : mere hath me toh waise bhi kabhi kuch nahi raha hai. Aaj  pata nahi kya hoga.

Suddenly they saw Tauji ,Taiji , Bela and Preeti rushing towards them.
Bela ran and hugged Naina who started  sobbing seeing her. But Preeti was stronger. May be it was the effect of pain and boulders that life had bestowed on her that made her believe that life is so unpredictable that one should be ready for any misfortune.

Preeti : Himmat rakh Naina . Insan toh bas bhagwan ki katputli hai. Chinta mat kar....Tauji thik ho jayenge.

Tauji saw Sameer and asked surprisingly : Tum kaun ho ? Doctor ne kya kaha ?

Sameer couldnt find out how to introduce himself when Preeti interfered : Tauji , Ye Sameer hai. Humlogon ka friend hai. Iska ghar Rakesh tauji ke ghar se paas me hai toh madad ke liye sabse pehle yahi aaya. Aur toh aur agar ye nahi aata toh sochiye ki Naina akeli kya karti.

Taiji : O bai....tumhara bahut bahut dhanyawad. Main toh tumhe us din dekhte hi samajh gayi thi ki tum ache ladke ho.

Tauji : Main zara doctor se baat karta hun.
Before he could move , doctor stepped out of ICU and came towards them. All moved towards him.

Tauji : Doctor , Rakesh kaisa hai. Kya hum usse mil sakte hai.

Doctor : Dekhiye wo filhal serious hai. Aur unki stithi nazuk hai. Humlog lagatar monitor kar rahe hai but agar 48 hrs me puri tarah se stability nahi aayi toh hume kuch aur sochna padega.
Abhi humne echo ki reports dekhi hai aur ek specialist doctor ka intzar kar rahe hai.

Naina uttered : wo thik ho jayenge na.

Doctor : we are trying our best. Par wo aksar Naina Sameer ka naam le rahe hai. Ek ghante baad visiting hours hai , main suggest karunga ki wo dono unse mil le.
