It was in afternoon when Om reached home.. Chulbul's condition was weak.. first he was hurt already and then he wasn't used to of travel in car..
almost every another hour Om had to stop the car and Chulbul rushed to vomit..
their drive to the home was silent.. Chulbul tried to start conversation several times but got silent somehow..
"Omkara ji..?"
*no response*
"aapki chot theek hai na.. humne pahle bhi puchha tha par aapne theek se bataya nahi.."
"jab pahle nahi bataya.. to tujhe aisa kyun lagta hai.. ki ab bataunga.."
Chulbul stayed quiet and looked down..
after almost 30 minutes...
"humari patti aapne kari??"
"kya??"
"kandhe par.. patti.. aapne kari??"
"hmm.."
..
...
"aur wo.. rumaal.. humari.." Chulbul felt embarassed and looked down holding his cap..
"tujhe sharm aati hai.. to kya marne k liye chhor deta tujhe?"
"nahi.. wo matlab nahi tha humara.."
"ab chup baithna.."
Om either did not respond to most of his questions or asked him to stay quiet so that he can focus on his drive..but Chulbul was Chulbul..
after another 30 minutes..
"aap naraj hai humse??"
*no response*
"nahi.. humara matlab.. pahle aap humse itni baatein kar rahe the.. aur ab.. bas chupchap.."
"aap kuchh pareshaan hai Omkara ji?"
"chup baithne ka matlab nahi pata tujhe.." Om asked while focusing on his driving..
"jungle tak aap bikul shaant the.. raat bhar hum behosh the.. to humein samajh nahi aa raha ki humne aisa kya kar diya jo aap hum se baat nahi kar rahe.."Chulbul said..
Om stopped his car on side and looked at Chulbul in frustration who immediately got scared..
"naraj nahi hoon..doesn't mean..main har waqt tujhse baat karu.."
"there are 1000s of things that I am worried about.."
"dimag kharab hai mera.. abhi chupchap baith aur pareshan mat kar mujhe.." Om pointed a finger to his face and almost shouted at him..which made Chulbul shiver in fear..
Chulbul put his elbow on window and looked outside..
almost an hour passed but he kept looking outside and didn't even glanced at Om which made Om uncomfortable..
Chulbul's eyes were teary but he made sure not to cry or it will upset Om even more..
after a long pause finally Om broke the silence..
"tabiyat theek hai teri?" he asked..
Chulbul nodded in yes..
"theek hai.. maine chup baithne ko kaha hai.. lekin agar tabiyat theek na ho to bata sakta hai.."
Chulbul again nodded in yes..
after a few minutes..
"hum samajhte hai.. ki aap abhi pareshaani mein hai.." the moment Chulbul started again Om closed his eyes in disbelief..
