"Ab yeh kaha chala gya...?
Dance karte waqt toh tha..."
sanyu paced to & fro as it was midnight & rd was still not back ...

Sanyu sat on d bed after sometym n thought about der dance...
"Urrghh ! Sanyu hw cud u...
How cud u mistook rd as param.."

"Param is no more...
N yeh rd sirf param jaise dikhta hai...
Hez not ur param...!
Ur one n only enemy rd...
But jab bhi main uski aankhon me
dekhti hun mujhe kuch ajeeb kyu lagta hai....
Aisa kyu lagta hai ki param is wid me...!"
Sanyu was lost in her thought when she heard d knob of d door opening...

She looked at d direction of d door....
N der was rd...
Drenched in water...
His eyes red...
Hairs messy...
Shirt deshielved...

Sanyu rolled her eyes at him..
Though she was relieved dat hez back safe but didn't show him her concern ...

She didnt knew why she felt good after seeing him...but she w8s happy by his mere presence but pretended to b as if she didnt care....

"Kitno ko hospital pahunchaya..?" .he heard her say as he closed d door...

He looked at her in confusion..

"Huliya dekho tumhara...
Aise lag raha h wwf karke aaye ho......" she shrugged her shoulder...

He didnt answer her bcz he ws exhausted emotionally as well as physically...
So he chose to keep quiet...

But she continued her rants...
"Khud ka khayal toh rakhne ni hota pata ni apne bachhe ka kaise rakhoge..." she chipped sitting on d bed carefully

He dashed into d loo...widout looking at her...

"Yeh kahi pagal toh ni hua..."she giggled...
"Husshh! Finally iski bolti band ho hi gyi....! "She felt as if she won a gold medal...

Here rd stood under a cold  shower to shoo off his pain but it didnt help him...

When rd came out after n hour or so he saw her in deep slumber...

He adjusted himself besides her n kissed her baby bump wid a smile...

He moved up n kissed her forehead...
"Itni fikar h meri...
But still u dont kno why u feel dis for me....as param or as rd...! Watever it is but I love u...!" He sighed n dozzed off after a long sequence of emotions....

Dawn arise n sanyu felt rds space empty..
It was 9:00 in d morning..

"Yeh humesha Mr.india kyu banta h....urghh !"  Sanyu leave him n freshen up she scolded herself n get off d bed holding her baby bump....

***

Here rd was standing near a row house...
An unusual silent 8ws captured in dat arena..
It felt as if d flowers didnt bloomed her for years...

Parth too was wid rd...
He rang d bell...
A woman in her late 40 opened d door...

"Namaste aunty!" Parth greeted her...
"Parth tum...aao naa...." d lady escorted  parth inside..

"Woh aunty mera ek friend bhi aaya hai...i mean woh..sanyukta ka pati...woh..." parth fumbled wid his words..

"Arre toh bulao naa....itna jhikak
(Stammer) kyu rahe ho.." .d lady smiled...

Randhir ! parth called...
N  rd entered d house...

D lady's smile drained away n her eyes welled up quickly...

"Pa...Parammm...." d lady cried n hugged rd in a moment

"kahan the mere bachhe itne din"...d lady cried...
"Kitna yaad kiya maine tujhe kaisa hai tu..." she hugged him tightly.

"Sab ne bola ki tu...is...duniya mei ni hai...." she sniffed...
"But mujhe pata tha tu zinda hai....beta tujhe teri maa ki yaad ni aayi...." d lady broke d hug n looked into rds eyes...

Rd didnt knew wat to say...

D lady made him remember of his own mother renu...
Even she showers such love on him whenever he used to b out for a whole day...

Rd looked at parth...
Parth assured him...

"Aunty yeh...yeh param ni hai..."

D lady looked in disbelief... "parth yeh param hi hai...zinda h mera bachha...." she smiled...

Rd interrupted..." aunty...!!
Mera naam randhir singh shekhawat h....main param ni hu....." rd held her hand

"Param..aisa mat kar beta..jhu..." d lady mouthed to say but fainted in rds arms...

He took her inside d room n found a man in his 50s sleeping...

Dey laid down d lady carefully besides him..

D mans eyes welled up...
But due to his paralyzed state he cudnt react...

Paran sprinkled some water on d lady's face..

After some minutes she gained her consciousness...

Rd was sitting der on a chair...

Before she cud say further...
Parth chipped" aunty humari baat suniye..." n parth started...

"Yeh Randhir hai...
Param ni..."

She looked at rd who nodded a yes...

"Yeh mumbai ka hai...." n parth started narrating how sanyu met him n got hitched wid her...der rel8n....baby n all....

All these while d lady w8s weeping continuously n so was d man...

"Matlab mera beta iss duniya mei...."
n again she broke into crying not able to bear d pain...but a strong pair of  hand consoled her like his own mother ...

"Kisne kaha aapka beta ni hai...?
Bhale hi maine aapke kok se janam ni liya h but u treated me like ur son in this few hours. ..." he kissed her hands n d lady hugged him wid her all might....

D man too was overwhelmed by dis gesture from a stranger yet known person ...

Parth too smiled n thanked rd through his eyes....
