"Neema"...he whispered..

Sana- Neema...

Sid's dad- haan ...Neema...30 saal pehle ki duniya...

He said with tears...

Sid's dad- mujhe apne hi zindagi ki sachai...30 saal baad pata chala...

He closed his face with his palms..

Sana- kaise?

Sid's dad- tum sunogi..yakeen karogi mujhpar...mere bete ko mujhe lautaogi??

He asked...

Sana - dekhiye..woh sab mere haath mein nahi hai...nafrat karta hai woh aapko...par haan...mujhe Jaan na hai..uss nafrat ke peeche ki sachai ko...main Sid ke muh se suni hun...par agar aapke sachai mere Sid ko apne khoi hui duniya vapas laa sakta hai toh uske liye .. main sun toh sakti hun ...par yakeen kaise karungi??

Sid's dad- uske liye tumhe mere saath aana hoga...jahan tumhe leke jaaunga ..wahan tum khud saare sachai jaan logi...

Sana- par...main...aapke saath...agar Sid ...

Sid's dad- beta ...main tumhe apne beti maanta hun ...hone wali bahu ho tum meri... please...mere saath aao..

He joined his hands again...

Sana - please aap aisa mat kijiye...main aaungi...jaise bhi Sid bolta hai aapko...par aap mujhse bade ho...

He smiled...

Sana went to the car...there was a lady there...standing near the car ...with a smile..

Sid's dad- ye tumhari care taker...Sejal..

Sana- par unke kya zarurat hai...

Sid's dad- zarurat hai...beta...tum aao...

Sana was blank...but something made her to go with him...

The car stopped infront of an apartment...

It looked so old...

It wasn't lavish...it wasn't sophisticated...

It was so simple...

He opened the door ...with a key...

They entered the care taker remained downstairs itself..

The apartment was so calm...and clean..It looked so simple and old..

sana- yahan kyun leke aaye ho aap mujhe?

sid's dad- yeh ghar... yeh ghar meri... meri Neema ki thi...

sana's eyes widened..

Sana- are aap mujhe yahan kyun leke aaye ho.. agar Sid ko pata chalega woh mujhse bhi naraz ho jayega...

Sid's dad- beta tum sachai jaan ne ke liye aayi ho na.. Jaan lo pehle..

Sana looked him..

Sid's dad started "tumhe mere baare mein jaan na hoga...koi faisle mein aane ke pehle...main..mere zindagi ki ankahe athyay..

Main..tab apne gaon mein tha.. yahi Mumbai ke paas....main tab ameer nahi tha....par haan...mere bauji gareebi mein bhi mujhe padhaya...degree complete kiya maine ...aur mere naukri lag gayi...mere gaon ke paas wali gaon mein...chota sa naukri tha...aur kamaai bhi bahut hi kam tha majburi mein kaam kar raha tha..

Uss silsile mein main...ussi gaon mein ek ghar mein rent mein rehta tha...sirf mein..apne maa bauji ko chod kar..

Bahut zyada kaam dete the mujhe woh log...mera mann nahi laga wahan...aur ek mod par kaam chod kar wapas jaane ke baare mein bhi soch raha tha...

Par uss waqt ...thik uss waqt mujhe meri Neema mili.."

His voice broke...

He continued..

"Neema...mere ghar ki malkin ki beti thi...uska ghar bhi mere pados mein hi tha ...mujhe khud hi nahi pata....par usko mere saare dukh ke baare mein pata tha...ek din usne khud mere saamne aake apne dil ki baat kahi thi...maine kabhi usko nahi dekha...tha...rehta toh tha wahan mein par kabhi dekha nahi..uss din ke pehle...

Main usko haan yaa Naa bolne ki haal mein nahi tha...aur Haan bhi nahi kaha...phir bhi woh mere liye bahut kuch karne lagi...

Par Neema bahut achi ladki thi dil ki ...uske maa baap se chup kar mujhse milti thi...mujhe khaana deti thi chup chupa ke...mera khayal rakhti thi...

Usse dekh kar kaam ke dard bhi yaad nahi aata mujhe...

Hum dono pyar karne lage the....sab se chup kar ...

Aur main...main..usko..."padosan"...bulata tha...pyaar se aur woh Sharma jaati thi...meri Neema.."

He smiled with tears....Sana gasped... somewhere...her mind was relating their relationship with hers and Sid's..

"Ek din usne kaha " Vivek mere ghar wale mere shaadi tayyari kar rahe hai ..."...

Maine turant uske ghar mein baat kiya...par woh log mujhe maar kar ghar se bahar nikaal diya...

Mujhe kuch samajh mein aaya ..ek din usne kaha ghar se bhaag ne ke liye...

Aur maine maan bhi gaya...

Neema apna ghar aur maine apne naukri chod kar aaye the...

Shaadi bhi kar li hum dono ne...gharwalon ke dar se..."

He stopped..

Sana gasped..

Sana- agar aap unse itna hi pyaar karte toh phir aapne Sidharth ke maa se shaadi kyun kiya...??

" jab humne Shaadi ke baad mere ghar gaye the....mere maa aur bauji humare khilaaf ho gaye the...

Hume wahan se bhi nikaal diye the...

Phir wapas naukri mein jaane ke liye Neema ke gaon gaye the...par tab uske  pariwar walon ne mere naukri bhi cheen li...

Humne sab kuch chod ke Mumbai aaye...the..bachi kuchi paison se...khaane peene ki intezam kiya...bhagwan ke kripa se ek chota sa ghar bhi mili...wahan...rehne lage ..

Main kaam dhund raha tha...par Mumbai mein...mujhe naukri milna bahut mushkil ho gaya ..

Bahut bura haal ho gaya...ek ladki mere liye sab kuch chod ke aayi thi...usko bhi ache se nahi rakh paya...

Paise khatam hone lage...aur mere ummeedien bhi...sirf dho hi waqt ka khaana khaate the hum log ..kabhi kabhi woh bhi muskhil se...

Neema...ko mere pareshani dekhe nahi jaa rahi thi...mujhe bahut honsla diya...aur mujhe bharosa dilayi thi...

Khud ke dard chupa ke usne sirf mera dard dekha....kabhi mujhe haar maan ne nahi diya...

Uss waqt mere jeene ka vaja hi Neema thi...utne gareebi mein bhi uske pyaar mein koi kami nahi thi...

Saara dard uske ek hasi dekh ke mitta jaata tha... humesha hasti thi...apne dard chupa kar...kabhi ek waqt ke liye bhi acha khaana nahi dila paya main...

Par mujhe humesha bolti thi..."Vivek..tum sab kuch kar sakte ho..."..aur mujhe uske jo bhi gehne bache the woh sab mujhe de di ...main mana kar raha tha ...par woh maan hi nahi rahi thi...

Tab jaake mujhe akal aaya uske liye mujhe sab kuch karna tha.....ek acha dost mila...business ke idea aaya ..partners bane hum log ...

Par shuruvaat mushkil hi tha...Neema sab kuch bardasht kar rahi thi...humesha muskurahat se dard chupayi thi woh...

Paise nahi tha par pyaar bahut zyada tha...hum dono mein...

Ek din mujhe bahut bada offer mila...jiske zariye humare saare dard mitta jaa sakta tha ..bahut khush ho kar...ghar aaya ...Neema ko batane ke liye...

Par...tab...tab...mujhe bahut bada...shock...wait kar raha tha...ek khabar buri khabar...jiske vaja se mere zindagi badal gayi thi...

Jab ghar aaya tab Neema nahi thi wahan...

Aas paas sab jage poocha...tab mujhe pata chala...meri Neema...Neema...ek factory mein kaam karti thi...mujhe bina bataye...mujhse chup ke ..

Aur uss din...uss factory mein ...fir...fire...fire accident...hua tha...

Aur usmein...meri Neema....Neema...chali gayi..."

He broke down...

Sana was in tears....now...She couldn't deny the pure love inbetween them...

Sana- Please apne aap ko sambhaliye...

She went near him with a glass of water...

He refused...

"Par...ek aur khabar mila mujhe...aur uss khabar ne toh mujhe toot hi diya...woh...ye...ki...meri Neema...Pregnant thi...uss waqt..."

He cried...

Sana gasped...she couldn't hold back her tears....

She held her stomach with fear...

He was still sobbing...and Sana was still in tears...

There was a silence...

But then .. something hit Sana's mind...

Sana- lekin Sidharth ne...kaha ki woh abhi...unko...dekha...aur...aur...aapke...woh...ladka..woh sab??

Sana asked confused...

He wiped his tears...

He rubbed his face...

"Haan...uss din ke baad Neema mujhe mili nahi...

Par main...ek mahine usse wahan dhunda ...nahi mili mujhe ...main... vaapas gaon gaya...

Bauji ne meri Shaadi Gita ..se karwa diya...

Meri Neema ko nahi bhula maine...

Business mein bahut success haasil Kiya...dheere dheere...aage bharne laga...

Aur main khush tab hua jab mere Sidharth ayaa..."

He smiled...

"mera Sidharth mera bachcha...mera duniya ban gaya woh...Gita ko bhi main pyaar karne laga...par utna nahi kiya jitna Neema ko karta tha....pata nahi kyun...shayad abhi bhi Neema mere dil mein khaas jage par hai...

Sab kuch badal gaya...Isha...meri beti Paida hui... business mein success pariwar mein khushiyan....sab kuch ache se chal raha tha...

Sidharth ke saare sapnon ko pura karta tha main...par...jab usne Payal ke baat bola...tab hum dono mein darar aagaya...mujhe kahi na kahi Payal sahi nahi lagi uske liye...

Woh bahut Shaatir thi...mere dost ke hi beti thi...par..uske dimaag mein toh kuch aur hi tha...

Woh humare sab kuch haasil karna chahti thi...Sidharth ko...pyaar ke jaal mein fasaa kar sab kuch apne naam karna chahti thi..aur mujhe woh sab pata chal gaya...

Sid se kabhi nahi bol paya main uske baare mein...kyun ki...uss Payal ko mera ye sachai pata chal gayi..."

He took a deep breathe ..

"Aaj se dho saal pehle... isi road par business ke silsile mein guzar raha tha...tab ek aurat takrai thi meri gaadi se...

Dar gaya tha main...

 yahan business ki zariye iss road se guzar raha tha...tab achanak mere gaadi ke saamne ek aurat takra gayi thi.. main bahut dar gaya.. phir main jaake dekha ..woh aurat behosh ho gayi...woh chehre kahi dekhi hui lag rahi thi par pehchan nahi paya main...

Logon ne kaha issi apartment mein rahti hai woh...

Sab ke madad se main...issi apartment mein usko leke aaya...zyada chot nahi lagi usko...bus behosh thi...

Par jab...mere nazar iss photo se padi tab...mera dil ruk gaya..."

He said pointing out a photo hanging on the wall...

It was a old..photo of a beautiful young couple...

It was black and white ...

Sana looked confused...

"Ye..main...aur ye meri Neema..."

He took the photo.... his tears fell on that...

Sana gasped...

Sana- matlab ...aapke woh abhi bhi hai...aur aapki bachcha...woh...beta jo Sid ne bola...woh..kahan hai ye log abhi?..kahan hai...Neema ji abhi...??

Sid's dad smiled sadly..with tears...and walked ahead...

There was a screen ...he opened the screen...

Sana's eyes widened with shock...

Tears rolled from her eyes...

She sat on the couch with the thud...
