PERFECTLY IMPERFECT - RAINA

XXI

Aaj bohot khush lg rahi ho bitiya..
Asked  kaka looking at her smiling face to which Naina replied,
Aaj main bohot khush hu kaka.. bohot.. ap btao.. aj m apko apne hath ka bana pasta khilaun??

Kaka's face fell for a while thinking of her last recipe's taste. Somehow maintaining a face, without breaking her heart,
Nahi bitiya.. tum khao.. mujhe ye sab pachta nhi h...par tumhe khush dekh kar bohot acha lg raha hai... ek baat puchu???

Ha bolo naa...
She replied to him to which he further asked her,
Bohot pyaar karti ho naa Rajveer se???

Bohotttttt....
She replied within an instant, unaware of what's coming out of her mouth.
Later she corrected herself,
I mean ho hi jaega pyar kuch dino me.. sabko ho jata h shadi k bad..

Running away, holding her heart , she ran away.

***********

What nonsense is that???
Rajveer roared at Nandini.

Oh really... aur jo tum karo wo kbhi senseless nhi hota???
Nandini replied to him, questioningly.

Dekho Nandini, mujhse saaf saaf bat kia karo.. aur apni personal grudges yaha office me nikaalne ki mat sochna..

How dare you? Do u even realise ki tum kya bol rahe ho?

Ha pta h.. jb tumhe pta h .. aj subha itni imp meeting thi...aur tum mere calls na lo, toh kya samjhu main?

Stop it Raj!! Jo tum muje bheje the raat me... mujhe lga thak gye hoge, tum late aaoge ya fr shyd naa bhi aao.. u know..
Nandini said sarcastically.

Rajveer looked at her, questioningly.

Dont give me that look.. aur mujhe vo sab bhejne ki zarurat nhi thi... but as u hv sent me, i want an explanation ...

After finding his confused face, she showed the pics to him..

hv a look at what u hv sent me at night...
She showed him, his n Naina's pic.

What the hell is this?
Rajveer shouts in confusion.

He deleted the pic that instant but it ws too late.

Delete krne se kuch nhi hoga.... ye jo tum ne sabko frwd ki h naa tumhari pics... i dont know kya sochke kia...

He checked his phone and he saw deleted message in few conversations.. only one similarity... 'Nandini'

It was sent to...

Kya kya h?

Ye?
Rajveer asked , showing their pics to Naina..

Haww ...whats this? Ye ladki toh mere jaisi dikhti h... Rajveer tum ye kya kar rahe ho iske sath? U cheated on me Rajveer?
She tried to make an innocent face but Rajveer was way more angry and out of control.

Stop it ! I said stop it! Bachpane ki b hadd hoti hai Naina.... main har bar chhod deta hu tumhari gltiyo ko... pr aaj tumne hadd hi paar kardi h...

Maine aisa kuch nhi kia h...

Oh really... shall i show u the cctv footage of our bedroom????

Whatttttttttt? U r hvng cctv in our bedroom?? Rajveer are you mad???

Yes, I am... and u r the reason.... what the f*** u were thinking while doing all that crap...

I didn't do anything.

Really???
He held her hand tightly, turning them to her back, he kept her close to him. Looking at her directly,
Kyun kia ye sab???

She tries to escape but he shouts at her

Look at me Naina.. kyu. Kia.?

Haa kia maine.... kya karti... tumhare... affairs dekhti rehti... tumhe cheat krte dekhti rehti ...???

I never did. Aur M cheat kyun karunga...

Nandini k liye obviously!
She said with a smile.. a pained smile.

Aisa kuch nhi h..
Rajveer said , withour meeting her eyes.

Dont lie Rajveer... but galti meri thi.... zabardasti kisi se shadi kr sakte h... ussey pyaar krne pr majbur nhi kr skte....

She looked hurt, her eyes teary almost making him go weak.

Toh maine kaha tha tumse shadi karo mujhse..maine mana kia tha tumhe...

Haan glti ho gyi... kya karu... bhaiya k pas wapas b nhi ja sakti kya kahungi unhe?? Ki unke dost ne unki behen ko dhoka dia h...ya ye kahu ki unki behen ne dhoke se shadi ki unke dost se.. glti meri h... m khud zid ki shadi k liye, kaise btaungi unhe.. par thik h... shyd yhi sahi h...

Rajveer kept looking at her. His grip a lil less tight.

Pta h Rajveer... ek ladka tha... bhot pyr krta tha mujhse.. m kbhi uski ya uske pyaar ki kbhi izzat nhi ki...

She looks into his eyes deeply,
aj jb khud ka pyr beizzat hora h na.. toh us pr kya biti hogi ye samjh aya!
Goodbye!
