CHAPTER 12

"aab tum mujhse zaban ladaogi?", he asked her making her more angry. "haan ladaungi mein zaban, lekin yn ko ek kharoch tak nahi aane dungi", she said with fierce glare. Her father walked out of the house with anger. She sighed as she looked at her mother with disappointment.

"mein tumhe batane wali thi shree-", she stopped when she held her palm in the air. "mujhe abhi aap par bharosa nahi hai", she said with a sigh, "kyun? meine jhoot bola isiliye?", she asked her. she nodded. "toh mein tumhe kya kahun beta jisne apne pyaar ki bali de di", she said looking at her.

"kya matlab hai aapka?", she asked her looking here and there. "mein janti hoon beta, tum tahir ji se pyaar karti ho", "haan mein pyaar karti hoo, lekin wo pyaar hi kya jismein kurbaniyaan na ho?", she said wiping her tears.

"par b-", "nahi maa, mere pyaar ki jay tab hogi jab mein yn ko surakshit rakhungi... mujhe pura yakeen hai, tahir ji wapas zarur aayenge... apne pyaar ke liye", she said looking at her mother. "mujhe tum par naaz hai beta", she smiled as she walked to her room. Her mother prayed, "he prabhu, meri beti ko iss samaj se ladne ke liye shakti dena", she said.

Time skip [next morning]

You stood in front of the idol of the Ganesha. Your eyes held the tears, the tears for returning your husband back. You were there because, that day you were going to start the search for him.

The aarti started and you did that with all your strong feelings to have your husband back. After all, you are the woman of India, where females worship the god only for their husbands.

After doing the aarti, you climbed down the stairs when your vision started to get blur. Before you could get any hold, you blanked out. Someone held your shoulder making you balanced. Shree looked at you holding your shoulder.

"koi pani laao", she shouted for water and soon the water came. She sprinkled the water on your face but you didn't open your eyes. Shree looked at the men who were standing there. "bhaiya, meri madad karo", they nodded as they helped her, lifting you up.

They walked to your house. One of the men, opened the door and the other carried you inside. He made you lay on the bed. Shree looked at the doctor who was standing near the bed.

"aap sab bahar jaiye, mein patient ko check karti hoon", she said with monotone. The people walked out of the house. She started checking and after 10 minutes, she walked out of the house with a worried face.

"yahan inka husband kaun hai?', she asked. "mein inki behen jaisi hoon, aap mujhe bata sakti hain", shree said looking at the doctor. "wo pregnant hain, aur unka bp bahut low hai, mein aapse itna hi kahungi ki aap please unka dhyaan rakhiye", she said.

Shree smiled softly as she heard the news. The happiness was still a little lacking because of the absence of the father. She nodded as the doctor went away. She entered inside, where she saw you sleeping peacefully.

Shree sat beside you as she kept her hand on your flat stomach. "mein hoon. Tumhari maasi, mein yn ki behen hoon.... Bhale hi meine tahir ji ko yn se dur karne ke liye bahut koshish ki... lekin, yeh dono ek dusre se bahut pyaar karte hain.... Mera tumse waada hai, mein tumhari maa aur tumhare baba ko har buri shakti se bachaungi.... Mein unki dhaal banungi", she smiled as she wiped her tears when she felt you moving.

"kaisa lag raha hai?", she asked you. "achha lag raha hai, lekin mein behosh kyun ho gayi?", you asked her. "y-yn, tum maa ban ne waali ho", she said. Your eyes became wide. "k-kya", she nodded.

You kept your hand on your lower stomach as you mumbled, "baby, mein tumhari maa", tears fell down from your eyes as your heart beat raised. The feeling of becoming a mother is something magical and it can't be defined with these simple words.

"yn, tumhara bp bahut low hai", shree said with a hint of worry. You looked at her as she said again, "tumhe apni tabiyaat ka khaas khayal rakhna hai", you nodded but you said, "shree, mujhe tahir ji ko bhi dhoondna hai... mein haath pe haath dhare nahi baith sakti", shree held your hand as she said, "mein hoon na, mein dhoond dungi tumhare tahir ji ko", she said.

She got up walking out. Your eyes followed her body to out. You sat comfortably as you mumbled, "I am sorry shree, lekin, mujhe dhoondna hoga tahir ko... mera dil nahi manega", you slept after that.

Time skipped

2: 45 am

You opened your eyes as you checked the time. "mujhe abhi nikalna hoga", you spoke as you got up. You looked at the food tray which was kept beside your bed with full of food.

You didn't eat anything, as your appetite was not there. You remembered how Shree cared for you, giving you food. You chuckled as you covered yourself with a shawl.

You locked the door behind you as you walked away. Slowly walking towards the forest, you felt the goosebumps on your body. The shivering sensation which was roaming all around your body was giving you a warning from entering into the forest.

You looked back to the village. You smiled as you entered inside. The forest was dark and creepy. The shiny moon was making the place a visible to you. You were walking more and more into the forest. You didn't know the path, but praying to all the gods, you took your steps forward.

Suddenly, you foot collided with a rock, making you loose your balance. You were going to fall but someone held you in air. You were too shocked to witness that. You searched here and there looking for the one who did that.

You found Pari. She was hiding behind the tree as she was looking at you. You smiled as you realized that it was her. you signed her to make you stand and soon you were standing on your feet.

She stood in front of you as you held her hand. "aapne meri madad ki, isiliye aapko mein thanks kahungi", "thanks kya hota hai?", she said. "thanks matlab dhanyavaad", she smiled. her smile held the innocence.

You felt sad when you realized that, the smile belongs to just an entity whose parents were no more in this world. You walked further holding her hand. She was walking with you happily making you smile. She was sometimes kneeling near a flower, sometimes playing but the fireflies and sometimes jumping like a kid holding your finger.

You walked with her but there was sudden roar making you clutch you eyes close tightly. She ran behind you. She stood behind you peaking at the front where, the roar came just now.

She was clutching your saree with her both hands. You held her tightly as you walked forward. There was light, as if something was glowing. The fire maybe. You walked further, being ready to witness the scene.

To be continued.
