1.49 am....

Moon casting his eye downwards, making fun of a bechara insaan,
" Wahh betajii....
Aaj tujhe phursat mili...mujhe dekhne ki...warna biwi ke baatonke aur baahonke alawa is time mein toh tujhe kuch nii dikhta tha......

Jab dekho tab idhar udhar....
ku chi Koo...
Karta firta Tha...mujhe jhalake....

Aur aaj....
Hahhahahahaha...
Biwi ne bhagaya na tujhe mere saath raat kaatne....
Jaisi karni....waise bharni....

Maza aayega....Tere shakal pe yeh depression dekh Kar....." said loudly which was clearly heard by Rajveer.... who was pacing here and there on the terrace of their home....missing his love angel....

Rajveer looking at the moon,
" Zyada hus math....sirf aaj raat ke liye Tere saath hu...
Kal subhah hote he Naina ko patalunga...aur Tere saamne firse hum palang todenge... Dekhte reh...
Chandal kahika...."
He muttered under his breath....

Moon - " aaya bada...patalunga...
kehke...
Is baar aag zoronki lagi he...
Kyaa zaroorat thi tujhe apni biwi ko woh sub bolne ki ..

Phehle hi he woh Jwalamukhi ke padosan....ab tu ready ho jaa...Roz raat mere saath gupshup karne...."
He teased Rajveer....only to trigger him...

Rajveer throwing a stone at him,
" Teri toh...."
He was about to speak further, he heard a sound to which his ears stood like a attentive deer's ones....

" Aaahhhhh....
Baby......"

Rajveer was startled and held the railings tightly making his ears wide....

And slowly moved towards the direction of the source of the voice....

And saw....in a corner, behind a spare table, where moon light was falling tangently, a strange human body which resembled him........

Thunder broke into his heart, which his eyes witnessed and brain calculated.......

Rajveer - " Aayu...."

He took his small baby's name making the silence cry out of curiosity.....and his whisper twirrled echoing around the dark space.....

Aayush who was sitting like a good boy tightly holding the phone in hand deeply concentrating upon the screen, startled with double intensity and dropped the phone instantly... jumping in opposite direction.....

Rajveer storming towards him, kicked the table devilishly, and twisted his ears, to which Aayu didn't let out a moan, as he was paralysed for few seconds..........

Rajveer smacking Aayu's head,
" Yeh kyaa he ???..." and he picked up the mobile which was still in a dashing mode, playing the video in high pitch.....

Aayu still making no efforts to unlock the ears which was caged by his dad,
" Daad...
Woh...." looked at the moon, stars, trees, floor, water tank, owl....every where except Raj,

" Woh main bus...."

He tried to find a way from this sandwiched situation, where one side there was his desires and another side his Sanskars....

Closing his eyes he prayed the God asking to save him....from this Ashiq of his mom....who fortunately or unfortunately his Father....
upsss....
it was unfortunately fortunate....

Aayu ( in mind )
Bhagwan ji,
Main agla mangalwar,
woh pahadiwale mandir khudke pair see chalke aaunga....

Aur Mumma Dad ke jhagde meun takda bhi nii daalunga....

Priya ko woh safed puppy gift bhi karunga .... Mana nii karunga usko....

Please bachelena....phehli baar mein hi maarvavoge kyaa????......"

He continued his bribing session untill he got a nice shot on his back,.....

Aayu pretty loudly,
" Mummaaa ...." then looking at Rajveer's eyes which were suggesting alert songs,

" Dad main bus woh ...."

Rajveer holding Aayu's hoodie,
" Bus, car, truck, lory....sub yaad aajayegi jab yeh...." showing his iron hand,
" Haath Tere kaan ke niche padhenge...."

He said keeping his hand nicely behind, giving a soft touch to his son's  elbow....

Aayu - " Maine kuch nii Kiya ..
Mere dost he na....woh....
Mahira...." then biting his lips,.
" Maahir....usne bheja tha...."

He said cursing everyone who forced to him see that link and also his own luck for getting caught in for the very first time of seeing it....that too in the Hitler's hand ....

Rajveer - " Kon Maahir???
Woh nikamma Sehgal ka beta???...
Kitne baar bola he ki uske saath math jaa...."

He asked switching on to Colonel mode......starting the encounter session of removing the dirty kidhaas from his son's life.....

Aayu - " haan....
Maine Mana Kiya...lekin subne itna force Kiya ki Maine.... " slowly looking into Rajveer's eyes, and swiftly, glaring floor,

" Dekh liya... "  and again looking Rajveer, thinking of an idea,
" Aaj phehlibaar tha....Daadu... "

He said making a cute puppy face ..that Siya makes often....

Rajveer with strict expressions, not coming in the zone of those cute tricks,
" Aayush....
Jhoot math bolo....
Main ek month se dekh raha hu ki tum roz yaha bait the ho raat ko...."
He asked raising his eyebrows, sounding scary....

Aayu immediately, keeping his hand on Rajveer's head,
" Mumma ki kasam....
Nii dekha he...."

Rajveer widening his ears, with a Stern voice, for taking name of his life,
" Aayu ???... "

Aayu - '' aur nii dekhunga..." then sounding a little low,

" Main toh yaha roz Priya see bath karta hu....aur kuvh nii ... " said being sad... for breaking his good image of a Sanskari Polite Sweet Child.....

Rajveer took a deep breath hearing it.... and thanked his stars for making Naina a volcano....

Rajveer in mind,
" Agar woh kamre see ni nikalti,
Pata nii Munna kyaa kyaa dekh leta...."
saying this he let out a sigh.....

Aayu still thinking of any strategy,
" Daadu....
Aap chahe toh Mera phone but check Kar sakte he...." said pointing at the phone.....which was about to get crushed in Rajveer's hand.....

Rajveeer keeping a hand on his Munna's shoulder,
" Dekh Aayu,
Tu Mera beta he...
Col. Rajveer Singh Shekhawat ka...." to which Aayu's eyes twinkled with proud, and respect for his daadoo,

" Aur aaj bhi mere kuch fans joh mujhe family film ka hero samajhte he....
Koyi aire gere tharki nii ..."

Aayu carefully checking his mood, and finding it safe,
" Lekin Huda Chaachu toh kuch aur hi keh rahe the...." asked softly....to be questioned...

Rajveer drowing in sweet memories of Captain. Rajveer and his Cadet. Naina 'Ah' Singh's,
" Shaadi ke baad tu ban sakta he....
Aapne biwi he saath...."

Aayu faked a cough....which made Rajveer alert of his words hopped from his heart to Aayu's ears....

Rajveer - " Romantic...kaha Maine ..
Tharki..... bilkul bhi nii ...
Samjhe???...."
He said maintaining his face to a strict one.....

Rajveer ( to himself ),
" Bete ke saamne kyaa bak rahe ho, Col. Shekhawat!!!!... "

Aayu - " Yes sir ..."
Replied back ...making his dad happy....

Rajveer giving back his phone, after inspecting every nook of it,
" Aayinda mujhe yese kuch bhi nazar aane nii chahiye....
Aur...." paused to which a electrical shock passed to Aayu's spine not knowing what kind of wall his Dad will put around him .....

Aayu ( to himself ),
" Agar Priya see baath karn see Mana kiya toh?????.... " then,

" Aur ???...." asked praying the God ...to save him ...from this Dry minded Jhallad....

Rajveer showing his index finger,
" Tera time aur life jisase Pyaar karta he...uske liye hona chahiye.....
Yeh Mahir aur uske jhund see Bahar rahoo ... " then thinking of some mischief, with naughty eyes,

" I hope ki tum straight ho...."

Aayu widening his eyes and moving away from Rajveer,
" Nii nii daadoo ...
Main suchchi mein Priya see Pyaar karta hu....aur ekdum straight hi hu....." shouted ....

Due to his sudden fluctuation of position his phone again kissed the ground and got stuck playing it all the way from beginning....that too loudly....

Rajveer bending down to pick it up,
" Yeh itna chillati kyun he...." murmured....
And heard....

" Kyunki aap jaisa koyi Pyaar karnewala joh nii Mila usko....
Joh uske muh naazuk see band Kare..."

Rajveer gluing at the same position, raised his eyelids to witness his life standing there with complaining eyes.....

Aayu looking at his Mumma,
" Yeh bhi aagayi....
Mar Gaye ab...." whispered....

Rajveer leaving the phone there, walked towards Naina,
" Jaan ...woh main bus.... "

Naina showing him her palm....asking him to stay away from her,
" At least bachchonke saamne aap ..."
saying this she turned her face.....

Rajveer gave a look to Aayush and asked him to take patli galii.... thinking of handling the crucial case himself....

Aayush mouthed a thanks and left leaving his phone alone with Raina ...

Naina gauging at phone,
" Sirf ek din ke liye Maine aapko door rakha aue aap.....yeh sub...."
She said giving a disappointed look....

Rajveer holding her from side ways,
" Naina, Maine bus u hi link open ki thii....
Meri koyi galti nii he....
Us kamine Abhi ka kaam he yeh...." said showing her a puppy face.....

Naina pushing him on the table,
" I hate you..." saying this she went with a tsunamic speed....

Rajveer - " Phir phas Gaya....
Main apni pehlibar mein bhi kisike pakad mein Ni aaya tha....aaj bete ne phasa diya...bina koyi galti ke...." murmuring he went towards their bedroom only to find it empty.....

Rajveer looking at his tanha bed and night ,
" Ab toh pakka revolt hoga.....aur tu bina biwi ke budhape meib akela soyega, Colonel...."

*******************

Siya was sleeping peacefully, when she felt something weird happening around her.....

Opening her eyes halfly, she rolled it around her room, and saw Naina in front of the mirror.....

Siya in sleep hangover,
" Mumma....
Itna jaldi subhah hogaya kyaa??...."
She asked only to hear a sob....

She sat on the bed not knowing why her daadoo's Cadet. Singh was wailing at late hours, that too in her room....
It was very normal for her from childhood to see Naina crying and shouting for silly matters and her daadoo to revolve around her like a Saturn's ring....

But today she felt something different, as Naina was really crying instead of that red volcano like eyes.... throwing draggers....

Siya moving towards Naina,
" Mumma, kyaa hua???
Daadoo ne kuch kaha???...."
She asked kissing her head.... consoling her ....

Naina hugging Siya by waist,
" Main budhi hogayi hu na....
Ab sexy bhi nii dikhti ..." said taking hiccups....

Siya little startled with Naina's words,
" Mumma, main Siya hu...
Daadoo nii...." said softly....patting her back....

Naina - " ab mujhmeij aisa kuch bacha bhi nii he ki Rajveer sir mujhse attract ho....aur woh mujhe jaldi chod bhi denge...." saying this she started weeping loudly, destroying Siya's ear drums....

Siya shaking her head at her daadoo's first child,
" Mumma,
Aapko kisne kaha yeh sub...." then picking up her comb,

" Main uda daalungi saale ko ...
Kutta, kamina....kiske himmat huyi aapse yeh sub bolne ki....."

Naina blinking her eyes, finding something she would relay upon,
" Woh main raat ko chath pe gayi thi aur waha....."

With fire filled eyes,
Siya - " don't tell me ki woh padosi bimbo chudail kutti Nandini mili aapko waha...."

Naina forwarding her hand making Siya look at her,
" nii.....waha Rajveer sir.....aur..."

Siya searching for knife,
" Aaj main us Chudail ko chodungi nii...
Uske himmat kaise huyi daadoo ko chath pe bulane ki....."

Naina - " Woh baath Ni he...." then holding Siya's hand,
" Sirf Rajveer the waha...."

She said as her brain didn't analysed her Munna's presence there.....

Siya with doubtful eyes,
" Akele the??
Kahi Nandini ke wait toh nii Kar rahe the???..."
She asked to which Naina shook her head....

Naina - " Rajveer sir waha.....woh... " paused a little unable to fill the sentence,

" Kuch nii chodo....
Tum so jaavo...." saying this she tried to get up....

Siya forcibly made her sit,
" Pehele aap baito....aur bolo ki baath kyaa he....
Daadoo ne kuch kaha ??..."
She asked giving a glass of water copying her father's acts.....

Naina looked into her daughter's eyes who was her best friend in every dangerous mission planned against her Rajveer sir....

Being the only one daughter of Ahluwaliya family Naina always missed a sisterly love from childhood, with whom she can share her girly things.....
And Pooja who was her only support was busy with her daughter's marriage from last few months.....

Siya watching keenly her mother's expression,
" Mumma,
It's ok....agar aap share nii karna chahti.....

Bus aap yeh kabhi math socho ki Daadoo apko chodenge..." then cupping her face,

" Agar aisa kuch hua toh main Daadoo ko divorce dungi....fir aapki dusri Shaadi karaungi, woh Maj. Bindra he na unse....."
She said in a cool tone....

Naina with moist eyes,
" Kon ?...." asked getting curious....

Siya - " wahi joh parso aapko drop Kiya tha mall road Tak...."

Naina making a face,
" Chiiii....
Kitna Motu he woh...."

Siya thinking for a while,
" Fir woh kannuaj ke Col. Gadhodhiya ???...."

Naina taking support of wall,
" Naam mein hi gadha he ..." said chuckling.   

Siya - " fir baaju wale kamre mein joh Col. Shekhawat see aapki dusri Shaadi karadu???...
Suna he ki khana achcha banate he..."
She asked with naughty eyes ...

Naina - " umm...
Is baarein mein sochna hoga .."

Siya - " Matlab main date fix kardu??..."

Naina - " Parso karoo....
Kal mujhe spa jaana he....aur uske baad...."

Siya - " shopping ...and is bar I will get something really hot for you ...
Jise dekhte hi woh ghayal ho..." Saying  this she winked at her and Naina hugged her out of shyness ..... Behaving like a teen girl....

Siya mimicking Rajveer's tone, raising Naina's face by keeping index finger on her chin,
" Yeh sharam...
Yeh adayein bachake rakhna ....mere liye, Cadet. Naina 'Ah' Singh...." said to hear a fake cough behind the door.....

And heard,

Rajveer - " kahun toh main bhi kuch madad karun, shopping meun....." said signalling Siya to leave the room ....

Naina throwing a pillow at Rajveer, hided herself inside a blanket, not giving a chance for her dear patau hubby to touch her....

Rajveer closing the door, climbed the bed, trying enter where his swan was hiding,
" Mrs. Shekhawat, trail room mein toh Meri zaroorat padhegi na...
Jaise humesha hoti he...."

He whispered knowing his wife to be smiling right there inside.....
