Caretaker
Next day after completing all discharge formalities, Nanu bring Sameer back at home with Mundit... though he was feeling weak physically but he still insist to take discharge as doesn't like to stay in hospital any more... Nanu too agreed happily as he also doesn't want him to stay away from him even for a second... trio was happily chatting on the way to home whereas Sameer was sitting quietly and looking outside from the car window... things are quite strange for him as he was not able to recall anything, any place... also before discharge, Doctor & Nanu informed him about his partial memory loss which shaken him from core but Nanu & Munna Pandit assure him that he will be fine soon...
Doctor strictly instruct them all again to not to do any attempts or give any stress to his mind.. "agar aap logon ne jyaada koshish ki toh inke dimaag par bura asar padega... behatar hoga inke pichhle paanch saal jo yeh bhool chuke hai, usake saare nishaan bhi mita de... inhein apni zindagi naye sire se shuru karne de..." Nanu and Mundit were dishearten but still keep smiling for his sake only...
They reached home by late noon time, when Ramdhari came running out and welcome him, "bhaiya ji aap aa gaye... hum bata nahin sakte aapke bina ghar kitna suna suna tha.." Sameer smiled back to him, patting on his shoulder, "tu kaisa hai Ramdhari..." making his eyes teary that his bhaiya remember him at least.... Nanu said, "ab chal usse andar bhi aane dega ki nahin... saari baatein yahin baahar hi kar le..." they all smiled and step ahead... the moment he reached at doorstep, Naina came with aarti thali...
Sameer stops her in between and asked Nanu, "Nanu yeh kaun... maine pehchana nahin inhein..." though the question was very much expected but she stir with a tinge of pain in her heart... before Nanu replied, she calmed herself and replied softly with a smile, "voh mein yahaan Nanu ke saath hi rehti hun aur Maheshwari Industries sambhalne mein Nanu ki help bhi karti hun..."
He asked bit rudely trying to ignore her, "aapka naam..." she answered politely, "mera naam.. haan... voh Ms Agarwal..." he replied in same rudely tone without directly looking at her, "toh Ms Agarwal aap iss ghar ki caretaker hai aur factory mein Nanu ki assistant hai sirf...... toh aapko pata hona chahiye ki aise arti teeka toh ghar ke log hi karte hai... guests ya staff ke log nahin" she shattered in her heart getting the sarcasm in his tone...
She smiled hiding her tear and give thaali to Nanu and stand a side... she shook her head slightly to keep Nanu and Munna Pandit quiet... Nanu feels bad but silently does his teeka and he entered in house...
Ramdhari came with a glass of water, he gulped in one go smilingly to him and said, "Nanu mein bohot thak gaya hun... mein aaraam karne ja raha hun.... mera karma toh vahi hai na pehle wala..." Nanu smiled and caressed his head, "haan vahi hai... kuchh nahin badla... ja jaakar aaraam kar thodi der..." he left with Munna to his room...
Nanu came to her and said, "yeh galat hai... aise kaise tujhe iss ghar ki caretaker samajh liya usane... tu ne mujhe roka kyun sach batane se... aur kuchh nahin toh yahi kah deta ki tu usaki dost hai..." he was annoyed on Sameer's rude behavior towards her...
She smile hiding her tears, "koi baat nahin na Nanu.. aur vaise bhi mein sab kuchh sambhalti hun, sabki care karti hun toh caretaker hi toh hua... ab mein iss ghar ki bahu hun, aapki beti hun, toh ek hi baat hai na... aap chinta mat kijiye.. mein theek hoon aur aapko pata hai na Sameer ki koi baat mujhe buri nahin lagti... voh kabhi jaan kar mera dil nahin dukkha sakta, vishwas hai mujhe... aur vaise bhi ab ek hi ghar mein rahenge toh kuchh toh batana hi padega na... dost bolte toh voh yaad karne ki koshish karta ki kahaan mile the, kaise dosti huyi... par abhi doctor ne mana kiya hai na..." she tried to convince him but inside she herself feels sad...
Then only Munna came outside, "Nanu, Sameer so gaya hai.. maine dawai de di hai... par aapko nahin lagta yeh kal raat ke baad se kuchh jyaada hi chup chup sa hai... matlab kal kitna hans ke baat kar raha tha hum sab se, laga hi nahin ki kuchh alag hai aur aaj dekho... mujhe toh thoda gusse mein bhi laga shayad... par aisi koi baat toh huyi nahin thi ki yeh gussa kare...."
Nanu sigh heavily, "Munna shayad subah jo doctor ne iski memory loss wali baat batayi usase hi pareshaan ho gaya hoga... tu chinta mat kar, kuchh dinon mein dekhna kaise pehle ki tarah masti karega tumhare saath... yaadein miti hai par insaan ka dil aur uska swabhav toh vahi rehta hai naa... yaad hai jab hostel se aaya tha toh kaise pehle din se hi tere bina ek pal bhi nahin rehta tha... sab theek ho jayega... thoda samay do usey... uske liye bhi yeh mushkil waqt hai...." Mundit left after sometimes assuring to come back soon to meet him...
Nanu called her and handed a small packet to her, "yeh apne paas sambhal kar rakh le... hospital se mila hai... jab Sameer admit hua tha toh usne yeh watch aur ring pehni huyi thi... mujhe laga abhi usse dena theek nahin hoga... jab sab theek ho jaayega toh tu khud apne haath se de dena yeh ring vaapas usey..." Naina took the engagement ring in her hand looking with teary eyes... she close her palm and keep it close to her heart recalling their engagement day when they were so happy... their special moments at terrace....
Nanu while leaving for his room returned back, "Naina voh uske kamre mein... mein toh bhul hi gaya tha...." she said smiling weakly, "mujhe pata tha Nanu, isiliye maine apna saara samaan guest room mein shift kar liya hai... ab uss kamre mein meri koi yaad, koi nishaani nahin hai... jaise usake dil mein..." she stops in between realizing her blurt and left immediately avoiding any more discussion in her room... guest room...
Koshish Ke Baad Bhi Jo Poori Na Ho Saki,
Tera Naam Bhi Unn Khawishon Mein Se Hai...
Sameer woke up after few hours and sits back on his bed.. he roamed his eyes looking at his room which is not completely different... "lagta hai jaise renovation huaa ho room ka... kitna sab badal gaya hai yahaan... par koi nahin, ab mein aa gaya hoon na, sab theek kar dunga... jaldi se..." he stood and opened his almirah and took out his clothes and went to freshen up... coming out from washroom he looked around to his room well kept.. though the interior was bit changed but still have familiar feeling all around....
He touched each and everything trying to recall the memories but nothing helps him when suddenly the back of his hand brushed with a small Ganpati idol (gifted by Naina on his birthday) placed on his study table... he picked it and keep it on his palm when suddenly some hazy flashes of a boy and girl placing the idol on study table together and standing there, joining their hands to pray comes in his mind but nothing was clearly visible... he tried forcing too much but didn't get anything clear .... his trance broke when Ramdhari came to call him for dinner... he placed the idol back and fold his hand in front of him like he was doing it earlier, without realizing....
He went outside and glanced at Naina who was busy in arranging the dinner table.. all his favorite dishes were placed on the table... Sameer stops in mid and keep looking at Naina... he feels a kind of close connection seeing her.... his head again spins getting some hazy flashes in front of his eyes when a girl feeding a boy from her own hands... their laughter echoed in his mind... he hold his head tightly due to severe pain when Nanu patted him from back, "kya hua Sameer... tu theek toh hai na... yahaan aise kyun khada hai.... sar mein dard ho raha hai kya...." he compose himself and said weakly, "nahin Nanu, mein theek hun..." they came to sit on table when Nanu said lovingly, "aaj itne din baad tere saath yun baith kar khaana kha raha hun... chal aaj pehle ki tarah tujhe apne haathon se khilaunga..."
Sameer looked at Naina and feels strange by her gaze on him.... he turned his face and said bit rudely, "aaj mein bhi sirf aapke saath akele rehna chahta hun... mein nahin chahta ki koi bhi baahar ka hamare saath, aas-paas bhi rahe..."
He turned his fierce eyes to her, making her shuddered... getting the hint and seeing anger in his eyes, she silently left to kitchen saying, "Nanu aap khaaiye... mein garam roti bhejti hun..." she left in kitchen even when Nanu called her, "arey beta tu baith na, Ramdhari le aayega... kitna kaam karegi akele..."
Sameer stops him calling her more, "kya Nanu aap usaki wajah se mujhe bhukha rakhoge kya.. chalo jaldi se khilaao na, bohot bhukh lagi hai..." Nanu surprised a bit seeing his weird behavior but remain quiet and starts feeding him... he liked the taste and enjoyed his food with Nanu whereas she stays in kitchen whole time till Sameer was sitting with Nanu outside... later Nanu left with him in his room to give him medicine...
Naina too left in her room without having dinner despite of repeated request from Ramdhari, "please Bhabhi ab toh kuchh kha lijiye thoda sa..." she said before leaving, "bhaiya bilkul man nahin hai.... aap kha lijiye.... aur haan aaj se aap mujhe didi hi boliyega... galti se bhi Bhabhi nahin, please dhyaan rakhiyega Sameer ke saamne..." she went to her room and closed it...
She went and stood near the window, clutching his photo to her chest, seeing outside, when little raindrops start pouring heavily, same as her eyes, flooded with tears......
Baarish aur Mohbbat Dono hi bohut Yaadgaar hote hai,
Farq Sirf itana hai Baarish mein jism Bheeg jata hai Aur Mohabbat mein Aankhein...
After leaving Sameer in his room, Nanu came to Ramdhari asking sadly, "Naina ne khaana nahin khaaya na aaj bhi..." Ramdhari shook his head in denial... a little while he knocked on her door .. as Naina opened the door, he immediately noticed her swollen and gloomy eyes ..... he couldn't find any words of comfort or advice at this moment... he just patted her head tenderly and left for his room...
After Nanu left, Sameer silently stood from his bed and went near the window to have some fresh air... feeling the cool breeze on his face with heavy rain drops, he closed his eyes and recall the last night happening...
Flashback
After Munna left for taking medicine, he was about to laid down when a person entered in his room all smiling... as being familiar face, he welcomed by hugging & greet the guest... after some normal routine talks about Sameer's health.. the person made a sad face saying, "achchha hua tum vaapas aa gaye beta... tumhare jaane ke baad kuchh hi samay mein itna sab kuchh badal gaya ki kya bataau... tere Nanaji ne toh sabse rishta hi tod liya hai... jaise kisi ne unko apne vash mein kar liya ho... sirf ek hi insaan ki baat sunate hai... na kisi se baat karna, na kisi se salaah.. sabko paraya kar diya hai ek insaan ki wajah se... humein toh lagta hai ki yeh sab karke voh lakdi ek din saari jaaydaad apne naam hi likhwa legi...."
Sameer asked curiously, "aap kis ladki ki baat kar rahe hai... hamare ghar mein, Nanu ke saath toh shayad koi ladki nahin rehti... Nani ke baad toh Nanu akele rehte hai yahaan...."
Person said making sad face, "arey hai koi anjaan ladki.... pata nahin kaun hai, kahaan se aayi hai... bas tere Nanaji ko pata nahin kaise bewkoof banakar tumhare ghar mein rah rahi hai... humne toh bohot koshish ki samjhaane ki par unki aankh par toh uss ladki ke naam ki patti bandhi huyi hai... kaise samjhaye ki aise kisi paraye par vishwas nahin kiya jaata.... na jaane kya jaadu kiya hai usane... ab toh sab kuchh bas tere haath mein hi hai... tujhe hi dheere dheere kar ke usse apne Nanu ke ghar, unki factory sabse baahar nikalna padega, varna ek din sab barbaad ho jaayega... tere na hone ka fayda utha kar ghar mein ghus aayi hai.... par agar tu apne Nanaji se puchhega toh voh toh bas uski taarif hi karte rehte hai har waqt... unhein toh kuchh galat nahin lagta..."
Taking a deep sigh continued, "ab dekh hamara toh in sab mein koi lena dena bacha nahin par tere Nanaji ne yeh sab apni mehanat ke bal par khada kiya hai... aise kisi gair ke haathon mein nahin jaane de sakte... tujhe hi rokna hoga beta... ab toh ghar mein kya, factory mein kya... har jagah voh hi maalkin bani phirti hai... saare paison par apna haq samajh rakha hai usane... tu apna dhyaan rakhna ... shakal se jitni bholi hai, man ki utani hi chaalaak... kahin tu bhi usaki baaton mein mat aa jaana... hum toh teri bhalaai ke liye hi kah rahe hai... yeh mera number rakh apne paas... agar jarurat pade toh phone kar lena..." the person left leaving Sameer in amazed condition, turned back, "ho sake toh anpe Nanaji se kuchh mat kehna ki hum mile the varna voh naraaz ho jayenge tujhse bhi... jab tak uss lakdi ka saaya nahin hatata, voh kisi ki nahin sunenge.. tu apna aur apne Nanaji ka dhyaan rakhna beta... humein bhi tujhse milne chhup chhup kar aana pada... chal baad mein milenge aur jarurat ho toh phone karna... mein hun hamesha teri madad ke liye..."
Flashback ends
Stressed with mixed emotions and feelings, his head starts paining.... he reassured himself that soon he will fix everything and sorted out all mess... he got Nanu out of her spell... thinking how to start on this, he got in the bed... he turned off the lamp next to him and put his head on the pillow but he come across that his pillow smelled a familiar fragrance... this fragrance was soothing, calming his inner soul... soon he drifted into sleep with a cute smile on his face...
Next Update tomorrow Morning...
Bye
