Everything is Only for You (Complete)

Chapter 55

"Itne dur hum aaj chale ayein hain,
Abb manzilon ki koi parwah nahi.
Agar tum raho saath mere,
Main humari raah khud bana lunga."
Sid stands looking at the open sea when Sana says,"Sidharth..koi aaraha hai.." Sidharth turns towards the direction where the warehouses are. And he finds a man coming towards them. He whistles and screams,"Aye..Niklo bahar..kon hai wahan?" Sid screams,"Kaka, He Mi Sidharth. Tumi Kasa ahes?(How are you?)" The man comes closer and Sana could see a man of late 50's in a security guard uniform. He is a short and plumpy man with two smiling and kind eyes. Under the cap he is wearing, salt and pepper hair is evident. With a smile on his face he says,"Arey tu ahes ka! I am good. Tu kasa ahes? Ani hi mulgi kon ahe tujhya sobat ?(Oh it's you. How are you? Who is this lady with you?)" Sidharth replies with a smile,"Kaka he majhi bayako hai.(She is my wife)" The man looking surprised asks,"Tujh lagn jhal ? Ani tu hai mala sangitl pan nahi. He changl nahi Kel tu. Tu ikde kiti Tari vela aalas pan Kahi bollas pan nahi mala. (You got married? And you didn't tell me. This is not fair. You have come here so many times but you didn't say anything)." Sana says Namaste to him as Sid introduces her to him. He says,"Kaka lagn was fixed suddenly..so...Sana this is Parsuram kaka. He is night guard here. Kaka that's Sana." Parsuram kaka smiles and says,"Hmm..Ata mi majha sunbai la Ashi bhetnar ka. Tham aale mi. (Now how can I meet my daughter-in-law like this. Wait I am coming)." And the man goes away towards the direction he had come.

Sana looks at Sid and asks,"How does he know you? You always come here that's why right?" Sid smiles at her and looking towards the brunt, old building, he says," Yes. I have been coming here from many years now. Kaka has been the guard here from ages. He was here when these warehouses were still functioning. He knows me quite well." "You used to come here when the warehouses were functional. Don't tell me, you used to work here.", says Sana holding his hand and kissing it. Sid kisses Sana's head and says,"No. Not me..My dad. He used to work here...He..he was the supervisor here. I used to come here after school to meet him and sometimes bring him lunch. Sometimes I used to bring Shini here too..yes I used to bring her here. There used to be a small garden on the side.(pointing to the right side of the building) She used to..play there." He pauses for a second, gulping down the pain and with a soft smile on his face says,"I..I always loved this place, especially in the evenings. Sunsets are beautiful here. Even after this place shut down, I used to come here. When I feel depressed or upset, I come here. I feel my father is here and..so I talk to him sometime." Sana tugs Sid's hand saying, "Hug me Sidharth..please I am feeling cold." Sidharth sits beside her, holding her, he rubs her arm. She asks in almost inaudible voice,"You miss your papa na?" Sid takes a deep breath and says,"A lot. He was my only friend. He used to write poems. He had only introduced me to this world of writing." After a pause, he says,"One afternoon, I had come here with his lunch as he had forgotten to bring with him. And..and I saw huge smoke and fire in the warehouse. I ran to look for my father. And there he was,(Pointing to the last building) getting people out of the buring building. He..he collapsed.. right in front of me Sana, right there. I ran towards him and found him unconscious. In the hospital, he opened his eyes. He had inhaled lot of smoke, he was critical. He was in..pain but..but..he smiled at me. He told me..he told me that I now have the responsibility of Maa and Shini. I can't cry anymore as I have to be strong. They were his last words. He..he..passed away..that night from heart attack from severe smoke inhalation." Sana looks at him as he keeps staring at the building. She kisses his chest and that breaks the trance, he was into.

Sana says,"Itna sara dard tum kaise chupa rakhe the itne din?" Sid looks at her and asks," What do you mean? I am all right." Sana putting her hand on her cheek kisses him and says,"You had never shared these with anybody, I know it very well. You had never said your father's last words to anybody too. I know that as well. You come here to feel close to him. As he was the only one you could go to when in trouble. right?" Sid looks at her with surprise and asks,"Tumhe kaise pata?" Sana looks at him and says,"I know you more than yourself, my husband." Sid holds her chin and puts his lips on her for a soft but passionate kiss. There is sadness in his eyes but he smiles and says,
"Kaise tu mujhe khud se jyada jaan ne lagi,
Kaise main tujhe itna apna maane laga.
Yeh moohabat hame yeh kahan leh ayi,
Tu mujhse yun judne lagi,
Main tere begair bezaan se lagne laga."
