Intehaa CHAPTER - 5 While they were on the flight,Indira said,Tumhe pata hai ye mera pehla abroad trip hai.Main aajtak kabhi abroad nehi gayi.Abroad to choro main to aajtak kabhi flight mein bhi nehi bethi.Tum meri zindagi mein kya aaye Rishi mere saare armaan purey ho rahe hai.Rishi fakely smiled and concentrated on his magazine.In his mind,the storm of guilt which was rising up,only he was able to realize the amount of damage it was causing to him.He never felt so much helpless before,though he delivered 3 girls more to them,but this time,he didnt want to do so.This feeling surrounded his mind even before,but in case of Indira,the intensity was very strong.While Rishi was occupied in his own thoughts,suddenly there was a huge jerk on the plane.Indira,alongwith many other passengers screamed out in fear.Indira hugged Rishi tightly and cried out,Rishi main marna nehi chahti hu please mujhe bachalo.Rishi held her hand and said,Main tumhaare saath hi hu Indira,tum daro mat.The crew over intercom requested all the passengers to fasten their seat belts.The flight was still bumping and jerking a bit.Rishi looked outside the window and it was all dark and very foggy outside and nothing was clearly visible.After almost 15 minutes of this continuous torture,the pilot announced that due to extreme bad weather,Indira and Rishis flight had to be landed in Amsterdam and from there,the flight will not continue for US,until and unless the weather is cleared.After sometime,the flight slowly started coming downwards and it touched the ground.Indira was finally relaxed on realizing that there was no more danger.Rishi disappointedly asked,Oh God ab ye kya ho gaya?Indira excitedly said,Dekho main na tumko bol rahi hu ab tum chahe maano ya na maano,bhagwaan chahte hi ye hai ke main tumhaare saath rahu,tumhaare saath waqt bitaau,varna ek saath itne saare co-incidences na aise hi nehi hote hai.Rishi said,Shut up Indira!Tumhaari ye gheesi peeti baatein mujhe aajkal bohot irritate kar rahi hai.Ek to yaha Amsterdam mein pata nehi kya karenge,kaha rahenge aur tum ho ki.Indira replied,Abhi to tumne kaha ke tum ho mere saath to main kyu daru?Mujhe tumhaare rehte huye kisi se darne ki koi zarurat nehi hai.Rishi called the airhostess and asked,Excuse me for how long we have to stay in here?The airhostess replied,Iam sorry sir but we cant say coz for many days,the flights to US are either delayed or cancelled due to bad weather.So we still dont have the confirmation for how long we have to stay.The airhostess left and Rishi was devastated.He thought,Ab kya karunga,kaha jaaunga usey lekar?Rehne ke liye koi jagah bhi to nehi hai yaha.They slowly came down of the flight and all the passengers were ascorted inside the airport.After reaching the airport,Indira asked,Ab hum kaha jaayenge?He replied,Vohi to nehi pata hai.Mujhe tumhaare companywaalo se baat karni hogi.Rishi went to the gents washroom and called them and told them everything about the present situation.They told him that they will inform him when theyll have arrangements and till then they had to stay in a cheap lodge nearby or in a hotel.Rishi came out of the washroom and told Indira,Unhone kaha hai ke paas ke kisi hotel ya lodge mein rehne ko.Abhi chalo pehle luggages le lete hai,phir bahaar chalte hai.While they were claiming their luggages,the airport authority announced that the passengers from Mumbai-USA flight who were bound to halt in Amsterdam for bad weather,will be given special preveleges and their fooding and lodging everything will be the flight companys responsibility and all the passengers will be taken to the comapnys appointed hotel for stay.Rishi released a breath of relaxation and said,Thank God!Hume ab kahi aur jaane ki zarurat nehi hai.Flight companywaale hamaare rehne aur khaane ka intezaam kar diya hai.Indira said,Achcha hua ab hume bhi koi aur jagah dhundhni nehi paregi.Thank God ab chalo chalte hai.Saying they left for the flight bus to the hotel. When they reached the hotel,the receptionist gave them a double bedroom thinking them a couple.Rishi said,No please two single rooms.We want separate rooms.The receptionist nodded her head and was about to issue another room,but Indira said,No no please give one double room.He is my would-be and we are soon going to be married.The lady smiled at her and Rishi looked at Indira with a jerk and asked,Ye kya mazaak hai Indira?Indira replied,To jhut kaunsa kaha?Aaj nehi to kal hum shaadi to kar hi lenge na aur vaise bhi itne bare hotel mein,main akeli ek kamre mein nehi rahungi,mujhe dar lagta hai aur kahi agar maine daraavna sapna dekh liya to??Tab main kya karungi?Isliye main tumhaare saath hi rahungi aur ye mat bhulo ke company waalo ne tumhe mujhe sahi salaamat unke paas bhejne ko bola hai.Rishi,for a few seconds forgot his mission,but Indiras words again reminded him.He took the key and they moved towards their hotel room accompanied by a staff.The staff opened their room and put their luggages on the ground and took leave.It was around 2am in there.Rishi ordered some food for them and asked Indira to get fresh up as they needed some sleep.After taking bath,both consumed the food provided and they went to take some sleep.Rishi slept on the couch and Indira slept on the bed. It was around 4am,when suddenly Rishi screamed aloud,Suhaani!!!and woke up on his bed.Indira too got up and ran to him.She was very tensed on seeing Rishis terrified face.She rubbed her head and asked,Kya hua Rishi chillaaye kyu?Rishi gave a boggled look to Indira and said,Meri...Meri Suhaani...Meri Suhaani ko vo log...He hugged Indira tightly to cool down his nerves and Indira continuously patted on his back and said,Rishi kuch nehi hua dekho,vo ek bura sapna dekha hai tumne.Apni aakhe kholo aur dekho main hu tumhaare paas.Rishi slowly opened his eyes and looked here and there and found that he was in the hotel room.His heart was still beating very fast due to the impact of that nightmare.After sometime,when his nerves were in his control,he then realized that he was hugging Indira.He immediately broke the hug and looked away from her and said,I...Iam...Iam sorry...vo...maine ek sapna dekha...to...Indira smiled and replied,Koi baat nehi,mujhe to bohot achcha laga jo tumne mujhe hug kiya.Thanks to your nightmare.Rishi pulled his blanket and said,Tum jaao jaakar so jaao,main thik hu.Indira nodded her head and said,Nehi tum us raat Mumbai mein bhi cheek uthe the apne kamre mein.Main uthkar tumhaare room mein bhi gayi thi,par dekha ke tum so gaye the,isliye tumhe uthaaya nehi.Tum mere saath bed par chalo,tum vahi so jaao.I can understand,akele rehte ho na shaayad aadat nehi hai,isliye dar lagta hoga.Rishi said,Nehi...Main tumhaare saath bed share nehi kar sakta.Try n understand Indira.Indira looked at him for sometime and understood his dilemma.He held his hand and said,Mujhe pata hai,tum kyu bed par nehi sona chahte.I completely trust you Rishi.Mujhe tumpar pura bharosa hai,I know tum apni hadh ka pura khayaal rakkhoge.Rishi still said,Indira ye thik nehi hai.Ek to bina shaadi kiye hum ek karma share kar rahe hai,vaise bhi ye mere ethics ke khilaaf hai,upar se tum...Indira was feeling very sleepy at one side,so she was not liking those ethical lectures a bit.She yelled,Ek to mujhe bohot neend aa rahi hai aur upar se tum ho ki larkiyo jaise sharma rahe ho,jab main larki hone ke baad bhi aisa bol sakti hu,to tu kyu nehi kar sakte?Tension to mujhe honi chahiye!Daro mat main tumhaara rape nehi karungi.Abhi chalo!Indira didnt wait for Rishis answer and pulled him by his hand and took him to the bed.Rishi lied down unwantedly and Indira too lied down beside him and put all the cushions of the couch in their middle and said,Ab totumhe koi problem nehi hai na?Dekho maine hamaare beech mein ek lakshman rekha bhi kheech di hai.She held his hand and said,Bachpan mein main nani ke paas soti thi,mujhe bhi kabhi kabhi raat ko aise daraavne sapne aate the,tab main bohot dar jaati thi aur tab na main apni naani ka haath pakar kar soti thi.Aisa karne se dar bhaag jaata hai.Ab tum sone ki koshish karo dekhna ab koi sapna nehi aayega.Rishi held Indiras hand and slowly closed his eyes.Indira rubbed his head she too closed her eyes.When Indira was was having deep slumber,Rishi opened his eyes and looked intensely at sleeping Indira.In his mind,he said,Mujhe daravne sapne se bachaane ki koshish kar rahi ho Indira,jo mumkin nehi hai,kyuki koi apni asliyat se bhaag nehi sakta.Ye sapne to meri zindagi ka hissa hai,par tum?Tumhaara kya hoga Indira...Tumhaari to puri zindagi hi ek aanewaale kal mein ek daraavna sapna ban kar reh jaayega.Jo sapne aaj tum dekh rahi ho Indira,unka naam o nishaan tak tumhaari zindagi se mit jaayega.He tried to care her face but stopped himself and then tried to release his hand from her grip,but could not and Indira in her sleep,held his hand with both her hands and almost hugged it and slept with a content smile on her face.Rishi could do nothing except to sleep in that way. Next day,in the morning,the hotel allotted their private bus for the boarders road trip.Rishi was not willing to go,but on Indiras persuation,he had to take her out.On the whole way,Indira discussed her personal future planning after marriage with Rishi like how will she take care of Rishi,what will be the colour of their bedroom,how many kids will they have.Everytime Indiras same thinkings and same talkings made Rishi so bored that he said,Indira tum serious hone ki thori koshish kyu nehi karti ho?Tumhe pata hai,shaadi ke baad,biwiyon ko sabse zyaada serious hona parta hai.Rishi deliberately said that thing to Indira,so that at least for sometime she remains quiet.The bus stopped in front of a museum and the guide took them inside and showed them everything and also explained the history of them.During that whole museum tour,Indira didnt utter a single word and made a straight face.After almost one hour,when they left the museum to catch the bus,Rishi looked at Indira and found her all very serious.Rishi thought that she was hurt,due to his word,so in order to persuade her,he purchased some popcorn and entered inside the bus.Rishi gave that to Indira and said,Iam sorry Indira...Tumhe meri baato se bura laga hai na.Ye lo popcorn khao.Indira made a weired face and asked,Tum sorry kyu bol rahe ho?He replied,Jab maine tumhe us waqt bola tabse tum bilkul aise ajeeb sa muh banaakar bethi hui ho.Tumhe bura laga hai na meri baat ka?Indira stared at him with wide eyes and said,Ajeeb shakal???Hai na,hoti hai na ajeeb si shakal!Dekha!Arey tumne uswaqt bola na serious hone ko,main to tabse vohi karne ki koshish kar rahi thi.Dekha ab tumne bhi maan liya ke main serious shakal banaane par ajeeb dikhti hu,isliye main kabhi serious nehi hoti.Mere cousins to ye tak kehte hai ke main tab cartoon dikhti hu,ab bolo main kaise serious rahu?Rishi stared at her like a dumbo on hearing her reply for a few seconds and then burst out into laughter.He laughed and laughed his heart out after a very long time and that time Indira was watching him like a dumbo.After Rishi stopped laughing,he said,By God Indira!You are really too much,sach mein tum cartoon hi ho.He looked at Indira and on seeing his face asked,Ab tum mujhe aise ghur kyu rahi ho?She replied,Tum haste huye kitne cute lagte ho..Aaj mere saath tum pehli baar hase ho.Hamesha aise hi haste raha karo.Rishi looked into her eyes and was touched to see the genuine concern for him in her eyes,but he didnt want that concern for him,he didnt want that from Indira,or from anyone because he didnt deserve that.He didnt want that anyone should feel pity for him.He unmindfully looked outside and said,Aaj pata nehi kitne mahino baad aise hasa hu,varna main to hasna bhul hi gaya tha.He turned his head to wipe his tears.
