Vineet was walking to and fro inside the room. Manvi entered inside the room, he looked at her.

He moved to her and said "Manvi baat karni hai tumse"

"Sirji mujhe neend aa rahi hai kal jaldi uthna hai" Manvi replied.

"Nahi pehle meri baat suno" he said.

Manvi sighed and turned to leave from the room. He blocked her way and said "aaj tumhe meri baat sunni padegi"

She asked "kyun sunun main aapki baat? Aapne meri baat suni thi jab main aapse kah rahi thi ki Sirji uss raat jo kiya aapne kiya maine nahi!" she shouted.

"Manvi wahi main kehna chahta hun I am.. " he paused.

"Rehne dijiye Sirji aapse nahi hoga" she said and moved.

He held her wrist softly, Manvi said "Sirji chodiye jaane dijiye mujhe"

He turned her and made her face him, he said "aaj toh tumhe baat sunni padegi meri"

She freed her hand and asked "Sirji aap kya samjhte hai aap jaisa chahenge waisa hi hoga har baar haan? Koi khilona nahi hun main ki jab aap chabi lagayenge main chal padungi, insan hun, dard hota hai mujhe bhi!" tears leaked down her eyes.

He looked on at her, she continued "kya galti thi meri? batayie aaj aap mujhe jo aap yeh saza dete they mujhe kya maine aapko hurt kiya tha? Ya aapki maa ki sewa mein koi kasar chodi thi? Koi dard diya tha unhe ya aapko jo aap mere saath naukron se badtar bartav kar rahe they!"

He was silent.

Manvi said "kya kaha tha aapne? Meri koi aukat nahi hai meri koi pehchan nhi hai. Haan sach hai ye baat! Lekin aap jante kya hai mere ateet ke baare mein haan?"

"Mujhe nahi pata mere maa baap kaun hai ek anath ashram mein pali hun. Thodi badi hui toh kisine adopt kar liya, socha ki mujhe bhi maa papa, bhai behen ka pyar milega lekin nahi waha bhi mila kya? Galiyan aur beizatti! wo toh bas ek servant chahte they, ek din bardasht nhi hua yeh sab bhaag aayi waha se. wapas orphange nhi jaa sakti thi. mandir mein pahuchi waha aapki maa mili, wo mujhe yahan le aayi. ehsaan tha unka mujhpe, rehne ko chat di mujhe aur apni caretaker bana liya. aapki har baat bardasht ki maine sirf unke liye" she spoke in a teary voice.

"Bataiye, kya kabhi maine aapse kuch maanga? Chaliye yeh sab chodiye itna batayie pichle 5 saal se maa ki caretaker hun salary maangi maine aapse? Bina koi laalach ke aapki maa ki sewa ki maine badle mein mujhe kya diya aapne? Aapka berukhi, beizzati shaadi toh ki aapne mujhse maa ke kehne pe lekin kabhi maani nahi.. Uss raat sharab ke nashe mein aapne kar li apni manmani ab mere paas aapko dene ke liye kuch nhi hai" tears brimmed down her eyes.

She then shouted "ab aap chup kyun hai? Waise toh itna kuch bol dete hai mujhe lekin mere sawalo ke jawab nhi hai ab aapke paas"

"Maanti hun main aapki barabri kabhi nhi kar sakti, aapke jitni padhi likhi nhi hun main. agar hoti toh aap jaisi ban jaati, Sirji ek ehsaan karenge mujhpe ya toh mujhe iss ghar se nikal dijiye ya apni maa ke liye nayi caretaker le aayie ab mujhse bardasht nhi hota ye sab" she said and turned to leave

He held her hand, she tried to free "Sirji chodiye please"

He turned her around and pinned her to the wall "ho gaya na tumhara! Jitna kehna tha keh liya tumne aur maine sun liya ab main bolunga aur tum sunogi" he said with anger gaze.

She was always scared of this look of his, he left her. He said "Manvi uss raat jo hua mujhe sach mein kuch yaad nahi tha. Sirf dhundli tasveerein thi dimag mein aur abhi jab sab clear hua toh mujhe sach mein guilt hua ki maine tumhare saath galat kiya. tab hi nhi pichle 5 saal se karta aa raha hun main. sahi kaha tumne, tumne bina kisi swarth ke meri maa ki sewa ki badle mein kuch nhi maanga"

"Bahut galat kiya maine tumhare sath. Kabhi baarish mein bheegaya, kabhi store mein band kiya, yahan tak ki Angel ko bulwaya tumhe satane ke liye lekin main kya karta? Business mein aajtak sabki galtiyan dekhi hai maine aur tumhari bhi wahi dekhta raha main" he said briefly.

"har koi ek jaisa nahi hota. Aapke business ke daanv pech nahi jaanti main, lekin achai aur burai dono hi andekhi nahi ki ja sakti. " she spoke.

He looked at her... "Nahi dekh paaya tumhare andar ki achayi ko main, nahi samajh paaya ki agar tum nhi hoti toh maa ko kho chuka hota main. kis mitthi ki bani ho tum haan? Uss raat maine galat kiya toh tumhe maa ko batana chahiye tha mujhse aake jhagda karna chahiye kyun nhi kiya tumne?" he asked her.

"Aap.. mujhe bolne kaha dete hai. Aur bolti bhi kya? Main toh sirf maa ki caretaker hoon na. " she said.

"Yeh bhi sahi hai maine hi nahi suni thi tumhari baat, infact tumhe goa mein chodke chala aaya main.. Zindagi ki bhaag daud ne mujhe aisa bana diya Manvi I am sorry" he said.

She looked at him with tears in her eyes, Vineet said with downed gaze "jaanta hun main meri galti maafi ke laayak nhi hai in fact main hi tumhare layak nhi hun. tum padhi likhi nhi ho pae mujhse zyada samjhdar ho tum, dusron ki izzat karna jaanti ho har cheez ko seh leti ho ek uff tak nhi karti ho" he said.

He then looked up at her, he held her hand and said "ab tak maine tumhe saza di hai na, aaj tum mujhe saza de sakti ho. main kuch nahi kahunga lekin please yahan se jaana mat maa ko tumhari zaroorat hai mujhe bhi kyuki aadat ho gayi hai mujhe tumhari."

Manvi freed her hand and asked "sirf isliye main yahan rukun Sirji? Ek naukrani hi hoon, wahi ban ke rahun! " she asked.

"Nahi.. isliye bhi kyunki tum meri patni ho. Mrs. Manvi Singhaniya ho tum, yeh hai tumhari pehchan iss ghar ki bahu ho tum" he said holding her from her shoulders.

Manvi was surprised at this, he stepped back and said "tumhe jo saza deni hai de sakti ho"

Manvi looked at him for a moment. "Aap chahte hai na main aapko saza dun?" she asked.

He shook his head positively, Manvi said "Jo abhi abhi aapne meri pehchan batayi, kya wo sach hai? Aap maanenge? " she asked while looking at him.

He looked at her... "haan manvi. Please mujhe aur sharminda mat karo. Main ab apni galti sudharna chahta hoon. " he said.

She smiled lightly... "toh thik hai. Aapki saza yeh hai ki ab aap mujhe office aane ki permission denge, not just as a caretaker, but your wife. Chahe wo koi bhi kaam ho. Maa ka kaam bhi ho sakta hai. " she said

Vineet looked at her with a light smile on his face. He said.. "Meri maa ki dekhbhal toh tum apni maa jaise kar rahi ho, lekin ab tum is ghar ki bahu bankar sab sambhalogi. " he said.

A smile crept on her lips. He cupped her face.. "tumne mujhe maaf kar diya na?" he asked.

She nodded affirmatively.. "Aapko naa karke mujhe saza nahi chahiye Sirji! " she spoke.

He glared at her to which she smiled. A smile appeared on his face...

"Sirji bolne ki zarurat nahi hai. " he said.

She smiled hearing it from him..

"aapko bura nahi lagega? " she asked.

"ek patni pati ko sir kehte hue achi lagegi kya? " he asked.

"Aapko acha lagta hai na, par mujhe nahi lagta. " she spoke softly.

He smiled at the way she spoke.

"ab tumhe neend nahi aa rahi? " he asked.

She looked at him and made a face. She picked up the pillow while he pulled her hand and she fell off over the bed..

"maine jo kiya gusse mein kiya. Tab tak tumhari ehmiyat samjha nahi tha, ab yeh room tumhara bhi hai, so jao aaram se. " he said.

She smiled and lied on the bed. He covered her with the blanket, and stared at her. Today she was sleeping with a smile on her face, maybe she was happy. He, too, slid on his side of the bed and slept off.

To be continued.

So finally ViMan had a talk and everything is sorted.

What's Next.
