The running roads, the creeping environment, the playing radio on the tea stall and those enchanting prayers of the temples was the regular routine in the streets of Varanasi.
A much crowded, yet a peaceful place.

There are many stories about this place, and every day this place reveals a new one. Some get burnt in the fire of rebellion and some remain confined to the pages of books only.

Just such a love story was about to blossom in these small streets of Banaras, Between Dheeraj Singh's son Anubhav Singh and Abdul Malik's daughter Haseena Malik.

Dheeraj Singh, a devout Hindu and Abdul Malik, a devout Muslim. In our country it is said that Hindus and Muslims are all brothers, but the sad thing is that this is just a matter of saying.

Because if it comes to marriage between Hindus and Muslims, it does not take long for this brotherhood to become a traitor.
Now it was to be seen, what was written in the test of love of Haseena Mallik and Anubhav Singh in this conflict between Hindus and Muslims.

"Subha ke 8 baj rahe hai, agar tumhare Nawab zade ki neend Puri ho gaiee ho toh keh do usse ki uthne ki meherbaani kar le hum pe!" Dheeraj taunts Anubhav to his wife Sadhna.

Sadhna: Ho gaya shuru apka subha subha? Uth jayega...deer raat tak jaga hua tha, isiliye ab tak so raha hai.

Dheeraj: koi naiee baat ho toh bata do. Deer raat tak apne doston ke saath awara gaddi karta hai aur phir roz deer se uthta hai. Zimmedari naam ki samajh kab aayegi tumhare ladle mein?

Hearing his father's blabbering, Anubhav placed his pillow over his ears and started whispering.

Anubhav: Subha Subha pravachan shuru kar diya apna.

Dheeraj: ek iski behen hai Karishma, bechari subha uth ke, Naha ke, taiyar hoke apne tution bhi chali gaiee.

Anubhav: (getting up from the bed) toh bhootni bankar kon tution jata hai?

Dheeraj: Iss batanizi ke saath na humse baat mat karo aur apni ye jo adate hai na sudhar lo thodi, aur zimmedar bano.

Anubhav: hmmm...vaise bhi iss ghar mein har galat kam ka mai he zimmedar hu.

Dheeraj huffed.

Dheeraj: Kuch nahi ho sakta iss Nalayak ka.

He dashed the newspaper on the table and left the house.

Anubhav went to the kitchen and hugged his mother.

Sadhana: rehene de.

She jerked his hands.

Anubhav: maa!!

Sadhna: ab bada ho gaya hai tu Anu, thoda toh samjhdaar ban. Apna nahi toh mera toh khayal kar. Agar tu zimmedar nahi banega toh teri biwi iss ghar mein kaise aayegi?

Anubhav went to the wash besin and took his tooth brush and started with his brushing.

Anubhav:(irritated) maaa!

Sadhna: sahi toh keh rahi hu. Kab tak aise he rahega tu?
Jaldi se koi acchi ladki dekh ke tere haath peele kara denge.

Anubhav: Haath peele karane ke liye ladki dekhne ki kya zarurat hai? Hum hathon mein haldi laga lenge. Tumhara Sapna bhi pura aur hum bhi khush.

Maa: jaa karle apni manki...sun na he nai hota hai toh baat bhi kyu karta hai.

Anubhav took a deep breath and just winded up with his brushing and went to his mother.

Anubhav: maa...ap kyu ye shadi ki rat lagaye rehti hai. Humne apse kaha na ...Jab hume koi humare man ki mil jayegi hum shaadi kar lenge.

Maa: aur zimmedari ka kya? Kitani baar kaha hai, ki jaa...jake apne Papa ke saath dukaan pe baith.

Anubhav: na baba na, pura din apka pati jhela nahi jayega humse.

Maa gave him a look.

Maa: tu aj se dukaan jaa raha hai ya nahi?

Anubhav huffed.

Anubhav: haa ja rahe hai. Ab khush?

Maa noded with a wide smile.

Maa: ja Naha le, tere liye nashta banke rakhti hu, phir jaldi se dukaan chale jana.

Maa left from there leaving Anubhav seated with an irritated face.

He took his phone and called his dear bestfriend cum Cousin Ashok.

Ashok: haa bolo.

Anubhav: 10 min mein taiyar ho ke ghar aa jao. Aj se dukaan jana hai.

Ashok: ka baat kar rahe ho? Galle pe baithoge?

Anubhav: zyada chu chapat kiye na toh tumhare sar pe baithenge.
Chup chap aa jao.

Ashok remained quiet and Anubhav ended the call.

He then went to get ready.

After sometimes he came out of his room and sat on the sofa for eating while maa brought breakfast for him.

He started eating, till then Ashok too came.

Maa: Ashok...beta tu bhi Baith raha hai na Anu ke saath dukaan pe?

Ashok: haa tai ji aur koi chara toh chhoda nahi hai humare paas.

Anubhav glared at him.

Ashok: matalab haa hum bhi baith rahe hai.

Anubhav finished with his meal.

Anubhav: accha maa hum chalte hai.

Maa: sun Sham ko na Karishma ko lete ana college se

Anubhav : hmm.

Anubhav then left with Ashok on his bike.

With 15 min they reached the shop where Dheeraj got amazed to see Anubhav.

Dheeraj: kya baat hai Maharaj Anubhav ji? Aj dukaan ka raasta kaise bhool gaye?

Ashok: Tau ji aj se hum dono dukaan pe baithenge.

Dheeraj: toh koi teer nahi maroge.

Ashok's smile went down.

Both went inside the shop.

That's when a man came there.

Dheeraj: are Shastri ji...itne dino baad aye hai?

Shastri ji: haa bhaiya thoda Kamo mein fase rah gaye.
Are...Anubhav beta...ab se tum bhi dukaan chalaoge.

Anubhav smile forcefully.

Shastri ji : kam mein maan laga rahe ho...accha hai!

Anubhav: chacha ...kyu aye hai?

Dheeraj glared at Anubhav.

Ashok: iska matalab hai ki kya lenge?

Shastri ji smiled.

Shastri: ek dozen register de do. Bete ka naya semester shuru ho gaya hai.

Anubhav noded and went to take the registers.

Shastri ji : Singh Sahab, vo Muneem ji ke makan ke baremein pata chala apko?

Dheeraj: kyu kya hua?

Shastri: suna hai bik gaya hai (slowly) kisi muslim pariwar ko becha hai.

Anubhav who was inside rolled his eyes.

Anubhav:(murmuring) ye admi kisi Moholle ki aunty se kam nahi.

Dheeraj: ab kya kar sakte hai. Muneem ji jane aur unke makan ke khariddar.

Anubhav came with the books.

Shastri ji: par...

Anubhav: chacha ap na Vimala ji se kam nahi hai.

Shastri:(smiling) ye kon hai?

Anubhav: humare pados ki chugal khor aunty.

Shastri Ji's smile went down. He quietly gave the money and took the books and left.

Dheeraj: pagla gaye ho? Aise koi customer se baat karta hai? Are Customer Bhagwan ka roop hota hai.

Anubhav: konse bhagwan aise chugli karte hai papa?

Dheeraj: tumse toh behes karna he bekaar hai. Ek kaam karo, Sharma ji ka thoda payment bacha tha, unke ghar Jake payment uthalo aur uske baad Karishma ko lene chale jana uske college.

Anubhav huffed and sat on his bike with Ashok and both left.

On the way Anubhav and Ashok went to Sharma ji's place and took the payment and then went to Karishma's college.

They were waiting outside the college gate for Karishma when Ashok's eyes went on a girl.

Ashok: O mori maiya!!

Anubhav: kya hua? Ajooba dekh liye kya?

Ashok : nahi re ladki...kya danger lagrahi hai.

Anubhav: chudail lag rahi hai kya?

Ashok: Abe danger se mera matalab hai Kya mast lag rahi hai.

Anubhav took a glance at the girl.

Anubhav: Sahi kaha.

Ashok: haina?

Anubhav: Chudail lag rahi hai.

Ashok: kaise adami ho be? Itni kammal ladki tumhe chudail dikh rahi hai?

Anubhav: ye ladki hai?

Ashok: agar ye ladki nahi hai toh tumhare hisaab se ladki kaisi honi chahiye?

Anubhav's eyes softened thinking about the type of girl he would like.

Anubhav: Ladki vo, jiski aakhon mein masumiyat ho, jo Palke jhukaye na toh haya ban jaye, jo nazrein uthaye...toh kasam se Lage jaise dhadakane ruk gaiee hai, jisme ye make up ke chochle nahi, sadgi ho, jispe fasion ke naam pe besharmi Nahi, apne badan ki izzat sawarti huee chunni hai. Hum ye nahi keh rahe hai ki zamane ke saath chalna nahi chahiye bas ye keh rahe hai, agar hume toh aisi ladkiya he pasand ati hai.

Ashok: Rama re Rama...aisi ladki toh tumhe Milne se rahi.

Anubhav: par pata nahi kyun...hume toh lagta hai hume aisi milegi.

Anubhav's lips formed a smile thinking about her.

Suddenly he heard some tikling sound of anklets.

He turned at the direction from where the sound was coming.

He saw a girl walking in Burkha towards his direction with speed and her eyes were down.

"jo Palke jhukaye na toh haya ban jaye"

Ans then suddenly she looked up and Anubhav felt as if someone has shot a bullet straight into his heart when he saw her eyes.

"jo nazrein uthaye...toh kasam se Lage jaise dhadakane ruk gaiee hai"

The helmet in his hand falled down and he was simply sitting down on his bike trying to gulp down the sudden new feeling.

Ashok: Abe kya kar Raha hai?

He then keenly looked at those eyes which wasn't looking at him.

"jiski aakhon mein masumiyat ho"

Anubhav: masumiyat bhi hai aur Haya bhi,
Ye kiski aakhen hai jisne meri dhadkane rok di?

Ashok: (confused) kya?

She walked passing by him and sat on a man's bike who probably seemed her father and within no second she left.
