Dedicated to Jasminearun who wanted me to write a ff on Dua and Haider.

A car could be seen upside down on the road. Inside, a couple lied badly injured.

“Rishi, ye sab… ye sab kya ho raha hai? Humari gaari aise ulti kiun ho gayi? Ye accident… bachao! Bachao please koi madad karo.”

“Shivli fikr mat karein, kuchh nahi ho ga.”

Sh~bachao! Bachao koi hai? Please bachao

A car stopped there, and a man came out rushing to them.

R~excuse me, suniye, please pehle Shivli ko bahar nikaaliye, please

He took out Shivli from the car and carried her to his car, suddenly, they heard a blast. He turned to see Rishi’s car up in flames. Shivli saw it with tears in her eyes.

Sh~Ri… Rishi… Rishi!

She lost her consciousness. He placed her in the car and drove off to the hospital.

Shivli was rushed to the OT. The man waited outside with guilt on his face.

“I am sorry Shivli, main tumhare pati ko nahi bacha paya, kiun ke us ne kaha main tumhe bachaun, ho sakay toh mujhe maaf kar dena, maine dono ko bachane ki koshish ki lekin nahi bacha saka. Sorry from my side.”

His phone rang. He picked the call.

“Hallo maa.”

“Sharad, beta kya hua? Tu itna ghabraya hua kiun hai?”

Shd~Guilt ho raha hai maa, raaste mein tha, ek gaari ulti dikhi, andar ek larka aur larki Rishi aur Shivli zakhmi thay, Rishi ne kaha Shivli ko pehle bachao, Shivli bach gayi lekin main Rishi ko nahi bacha paya

“Shaant ho ja beta, kudrat ke faisle ko koi nahi taal sakta. Kya tu waheen ruka hua hai?”

Shd~jee maa, main yaheen hoon

“Theek hai tu ghar aa kar baat kar.”

Call disconnected.

Doctor came out.

Shd~doctor, Shivli kaisi hai?

Dr~internal bleeding hui hai, jo ke hum ne rok di hai, 24 hours ke liye usay under observation rakhna ho ga, agar tab tak hosh aa gaya, toh theek hai, warna wo coma mein ja sakti hain

Sharad’s heart broke more hearing that.

Later, Shivli gained her senses and got scared and sat up.

Nu~aray, aap ko hosh aa gaya?

Sh~aap kaun? Main kahan hoon?

Nu~aap ko kuchh nahi yaad?

Sh~nahi, aur ye lights kiun band hain? Kholiye na lights, kuchh nazar nahi aa raha

Nu~lights toh khuli hain ma’am, aap ko kiun kuchh nazar nahi aa raha?

Sh~pata nahi, ye andhera, ye kiun hai? Mujhe kiun nazar nahi aa raha?

Nu~shaant ho jaiye, aap hospital mein hain, aap ka accident hua hai, aap ziada hiliye jhuliye mat

Sh~accident? Par mujhe toh kuchh nahi yaad

Nu~aap ko apna naam yaad hai?

Sh~jee haan, mera naam Shivli hai

Nu~aur aap ke husband?

Sh~husband?

Nu~jee haan, wo aap se bohat pyaar karte hain, sari raat bahar khare rahein, sach mein aap bohat khushnaseeb hain?

Sh~toh bulaiye na unhein andar

Nu~jee

She went out and sent Sharad inside.

Shd~Shivli…

Sh~aap? Aap kaun? Dekhiye mujhe na kuchh yaad hai, na kuchh nazar aa raha hai, na aap ka naam yaad hai mujhe

Shd~mera naam Sharad lekin…

Sh~Sharad, aap mere pati hain? Aap he kharay thay poori raat bahar?

Shd~jee main khara tha

Shivli extended her hand forward.

Sh~kahan hain aap Sharad?

Sharad went towards her emotionally and touched her hand and she held her hand feeling his touch.

Shd~Shivli, aap please aaram karein

Sh~jee lekin aap please mujh se door mat jana, meri chaaro’n ore andhera chha gaya hai, is andheri bhari dunia mein main aa gayi hoon, jahan na koi doosra hai, na koi apna hai

Shd~(with tears in his eyes) main hoon aap ke saath

Sh~Sharad… (she touched her neck) mera mangalsutra kahan hai?

Shd~mangalsutra… wo toh…

A nurse came inside and handed him the packet which had her nuptial chain.

Nu~ye humein aap ki patni ke galay par mila tha

Shd~jee dhaneywaad

She left.

Sh~Sharad, kya mila tha unhein?

He gulped.

Shd~mangalsutra

Sh~achha? (she smiled and extended her other hand touching it) ye toh aap ne mujhe pehnaya ho ga na shahdi ke din? Mujhe aaj phir se pehna dijiye

Shd~kya?

Sh~kya hua Sharad? Pehnaiye na

Sharad’s eyes brimmed with tears.

He thought: main kaise kisi aur ki mohabbat ko apna bana loon? Usay nahi maloom ke abhi abhi us ne apna pati khoya hai aur main us ka pati nahi hoon, lekin mujhe toh maloom hai na? Lekin isay kuchh yaad bhi nahi hai, hey Bhagwan, ye kaisi uljhan mein phasa diya aap ne?

Sh~Sharad?

Shd~jee, pehnata hoon

He made her wear it out of compulsion, she touched it and smiled.
