Part 11

CHAPTER 11

The women stood there with head being hung low. They were looking at you with sympathy who was emotionless. Soon you saw the particular psychic man standing from a distance.

Your anger crossed all its limits. You walked towards the man with your heavy steps. Your feet stopped when you saw the small girl behind the man. She was holding his shirt tightly while peaking at you.

The thing which confused you the most was the behavior of that man's. His eyes looked so in guilt. You walked to him with your fast steps. before you could come closer, he held his hand in air. You were standing a distant apart from the villagers.

"Kya hua?", you asked the man. "Mujhe maaf kardo", he said with his hoarse voice. You became confused when he said that. "kyun?", you asked him. "Shakti paane ki laalach mein, mein kuch galat kar baithta", he said. "kaunsi galati", you asked the man.

"Yeh jo gaaon tum dekh rahi ho na, yeh gaaon kabhi mera gaaon bhi hua karta tha", he said. "kya matlab?", you asked him being shocked. "mein kamla ka pati hoon", he said his identity making you more shocked.

"mein iss bachi ka baap, ek tantrik", he said making you look at the small child. You kneeled down calling her towards you as you witnessed her feared eyes. She walked towards you and slowly hugged you.

"aapka naam?", you asked her to which she looked back at her father who nodded his head. "pari", she said finally making you shocked. "t-tum pari ho?", you asked her once again.

"m-mein iss gaon mein rehti thi.... Lekin ek din mere baba ne mera bali Chadha diya... unhone yeh jaan kar nahi kiya tha... unhe jor jabardasti wo kaam karwaya gaya tha", she said looking at you with her innocent eyes. You looked at the man who looked down with the guilt.

"mein ek tantrik hoon, mujh mein bahut saari shaktiyaan hain..... mein naa hi zinda hoon aur na hi mara hua hoon.... Iss Jeevan-maran ke beech mein bhatak raha hoon.... Tum ek daivik shakti dharan karne waali stree ho... issiliye.. mujhe tumhare shaktiyon ka laalach hua aur meine apne vidya se jaana ki tumhe agar mein hasil kar loon toh mujh mein tumhari saari shaktiyaan aa jayengi", he said with a straight face.

"yeh sab mere liye hua?", you asked yourself, feeling so guilt inside you. You stepped back. "nahi, yeh sab jo ho raha hai, wo iss sarpanch ka kiya karaya hai", he said pointing at the head of the village.

"aapko kaise pata?", you asked him. "aakhir ek danav ko bhi apni aulaad bahut pyaari hoti hai", he said ruffling pari's hair. You stayed silent as he continued.

"jungle mein jo rahasya hai, wo saare iss sarpanch se mile huye hain.... Meine apni beti ki bali de di aur yeh baat mujhe andar hi andar khaaye jaa rahi thi.... Haan manta hoon ki mein shaktiyon ke liye bhookha tha.... Lekin mujhe wo saari shaktiyaan nahi chahiye jismein mujhe meri aulaad ki bali deni pade", he said looking at his daughter who was looking at him with sad eyes.

"meine apna gunah Kabul kar diya isswaar... yn, yaad rakhna... tum ek aam insaan nahi ho... tum sirf daivik shakti rakhne waali ek ladki nahi ho, iss gaaon ke saath tumhara bhi naata hai... yaad rakhna, mein sirf ek madhyaam hoon tumhe itna batane ke liye... aage tumhe khud apna raasta dekhna hai... mein chalta hoon", he said as his body started to broke into pieces. he was surrendering himself to the god, the lord of universe. You looked at the child whose eyes held the tears.

She walked towards you as she said, "mein aapke haar kadam mein aapka saath dungi... yn didi... mein aapko uss har ek khatre se bachaungi... mein aapko aur tahir bhai ko kuch nahi hone dungi... ", she said as she smiled at you and then looked at your stomach. She didn't say anything but did a small smile towards your belly and then fading in the thing air.

You turned around looking at the village people. They were burning the house. They now think that, the house was cursed. You chuckled saying, "bloody blinds", you walked away to your house. You sat on the bed thinking about the things which happened just before.

"pata nahi yeh sab kya ho raha hai kyun ho raha hai", you asked yourself being so confused about your fate. Suddenly, your phone buzzed. You looked at the caller id and that was your mother in law. "h-hello", you said. "yn, kaisi ho tum beta, kitne dino baad humari baat ho rahi hai", she said with a cheerful voice.

"h-haan", you said simply. "yn, tumhari tabiyat toh theek hai na?", she asked you. "haan maa", you replied. "tahir kahan hai? baat karwawo meri usse", she said with her sweet tone. Your voice stopped. "m-maa wo abhi mere paas nahi hain, jab mere paas wapas aa jayenge t-tab mein aapko call karungi", you said. "theek hai beta, apna khayal rakhna", she said as she hung the call up.

You kept your phone beside you as you thought, "jab maa ji ka phone dobara aayega, tab mein unhe kya jawab dungi", you said while the tears ran down from your cheeks.

"tahir, kahan dhoondo mein tumhe?", you said looking out of the window with your teary blurred vision.

Other side.

A hard slap echoed in the house of the sarpanch. "yeh kya kiya tumne?", he asked shree who was laying on the ground due to the hard impact of the slap.

"meine kya kiya baba?", she asked him. "tumne uss ladki ki taraf daari kyun ki?", he asked her while holding her hair. "kyun kuch galat kiya?", she asked him being so straight forward.

"bahut galat kiya tumne", he said while looking at her. "mujhe nahi lagta ki meine galat kiya, kyunki tahir ji ki abhi koi khabar nahi hai, iska matlab yeh nahi ki wo mar gaye baba", she said pointing at her statement.

"tumhe humare gaaon ki riti maloom nahi?", he asked her. she looked at him with fierce look as she said, "aag laga dijiye, aisi ghatiya reet ko, jo kisi ka bhala nahi kar raha", she said.

"kya kaha tumne?", he asked her as he was going to slap her hard but someone held his hand. He looked at the hand which was his wife's. "tum andar jaao", he said angrily.

"kyun? kyun jaaun mein andar? Uss raat aapne mere jawan bete ko kahi Marwa diya aur aaj meri beti ko marna chahte ho?", she said looking at his face. "meine Marwa nahi hai tumhare uss bin baap ke aulaad ko, aur yeh yaad rakhna ki shree meri beti hai, mein uska baap hoon lekin wo bacha tumhare premi ka bacha tha mera nahi", he said holding her jaw in his tight grip.

There was a slap which landed on the cheeks of the sarpanch. He looked at the woman who slapped him hard. His daughter, shree. Her eyes were all red. "baba, aap bhuliye mat ki mein aapki beti hoon, aapka gusaa mere andar bhi hai", she said.
