Angel opened the door of her room.She saw Sachin sitting on couch outside.She ignored him and moved ahead.He sighed and followed her.

“Angel baat suniye hamari.”He said.She entered into kitchen and grabbed some fruits.He held her hand.

“Baat toh suniye.”He said.But she jerked his hand and moved.

“Angel hum maafi mangte hai.Humein dantiye ladiye humse par yun naraz mat hoyiye.”He said pleadingly.She said nothing.He held her wrist and pulled her close.She dashed to his chest.He locked her in his arms.She gave him a terrific look.He smiled.

“Naraz hai humse?”He asked.She shut her eyes tight.He cupped her face and attached his lips to her.She opened her eyes in shock.He started kissing her.She was struggling to escape but his grip was firm.He was moving his hands on her back.He bit her lower lip to.which she moaned.He took.a chance to enter into her mouth.She gasped.She started to respond to which he smile.He sucked her tongue to which she growled.His tongues was exploring her mouth.She was pulling her hairs.He left her lips when they need air.They were panting.He trailed his lips down her neck.While kissing her neck,he pushed her to dining table.He made her lay on table and leaned over top of her.He was licking her neck while making figures with his tongue.She was moaning.He was sucking her neck and about to bit but something striked his mouth.He jerked himself and stood up.Angel gave him a look.

“Kya hua?”Saying so she pulled him top of her.But he left her.

“Hum yeh nahi kar sakte. Vivah se pehle.yeh paap hai.”Sachin said and left.She was confused at his sudden change of behavior.

…

Sachin immediately left the place.He went to his usual place.He was worried about something.He hid his face in his palms and tried to stop his tears.Meantime Ruhana came and sat beside him.

“Kya baat hai? Aap itna pareshan kyun hai?” She asked him.

“Ruhana hum aaj bahut badi galti karne ja rahe the.Aap soch bhi nahi sakte agar hum waisa kuch kar dete toh na jane kya ho jata. Humein samajh nahi aa raha hum.aisi galti kar kaise sakte hai.”He banged his hand on surface in anger.

Ruhana was stunned at his anger as Sachin was a calm man.”Sachin aap itne gusse mein kyun hai?” She asked firmly.

Sachin gave her a look.”Janna chahti hai aap to suniye hum aaj unke qareeb chale gaye itna ki.hum apne hosh kho baithe waqt rehte hum hosh mein aa gaya warna aaj anarth ho jata.Sab barbad ho jata.”He sighed.

“Humne toh pehle hi kaha tha unse dur rahiye par aap hai ki sunte nahi hain..khair ab aap unse nahi milenge.”She said firmly.

Sachin looked at her. She glanced at him.. “Aise mat Dekhiye hume. Sach keh rahe hain hum. Aap unke kareeb jayenge toh anarth nishchit hain. Aap jaante hain na aap par kitni badi zimmedari aane wali hai. Aap yun hosh kho denge, toh aapki praja ka kya hoga? Unka kya hoga jo aap par aas lagaye baithe hain. “ she shouted.

“hum kya karen? Hum unse prem karte hain. “ he said.

“jo aapke hosh bhula de, wo prem nahi hota sachin. Hum aur wo bahut alag hai. Unse prem karna aapki galti hai sachin. Samay rehte isey sudhar lijiye. Varna sab bikhar jaayega. Jaldi samajh lijiye is baat ko. “ she said angrily.

“Ruhana aap hamari baat bhi toh samajhiye. “ sachin said.

“Kya samjhun main? Kya samjhana chahte hain aap hame? Sachin, ye mat bhuliye ki aap kaun hain. Jis din unhe sach pata lagega, wo aapse nafrat karegi. Aur ye bhi mat bhulna ki yahan bhi dushman hain. Aapki ek galti sab kuch bikher sakti hai. Aur hum bhi nahi chahte ki aapka haq kisi aur ko mile. Rani maa ko aapse bahut umeedein hai. Unke baare mein hi soch lijiye. Hum haath jodte hain Sachin, unhe ek sapna samajh ke bhool jaiye. Wo log ache hain, lekin unse pyar karna, unke kareeb jana  ek bahut badi bhool hogi . Ye aap jitna jaldi samajh le, acha rahega. “ she said and left from there. Sachin was lost in thoughts.

Ruhana reached her home and found his father cooking food. She moved to him…

“Baba, aap kyun khana bana rahe hain? Laiye main banati hoon. “ she said.

Her father smiled and made her sit…

“Maine socha ki aaj main apni beti ko apne hathon ka khana khilaun. “ he said.

She smiled… “Acha aap baithiye. Main khana parosti hoon. “ she said.

He sat down and looked at her… “tum pareshan ho? “ he asked.

“Nahi baba. Bas sachin se jhagda ho gaya. “ she said as she served food.

“Aap toh unse bachon ki bhanti(tarah) ladti hain Ruhana. “ he said.

She turned to him… “ Aap toh hamesha unhi ka sath dete hain Baba. Meri toh kisi ko parwah hi nahi hai. “ she made a sad face.

He patted her head lightly… “Ab bataiye kya samasya(problem) hai? “ he asked.

She looked at him… “Hum jo sawal karenge, aap uska sahi sahi uttar(answer) denge? “ she asked.

“Pehle sawal puchiye beta! “ he said.

“Kya prem karna galat hai? “ she asked.

He looked at her… “ ye kaisa sawal hua? “ he asked.

“Bataiye na baba! Agar hame kisi se prem ho gaya toh? Kyun prem karne wale ko gunehgar mana jata hai? “ she said holding his hand.

“Ye baatein aapko jaanne ki zarurat nahi hai. “ he said.

“Kyun nahi baba. Aap bhi toh maa se prem karte they. Hame toh ye samajh nahi aata ki kyun isey bura kaha gaya hai. “ she asked.

“Kyunki aap aisa nahi kar sakti. Na aap yahan se bahar ja sakti hain aur na jungle ke us paar ke logon se aapka koi sambandh hona chahiye. Wo sab peeche choot sakta hai, jo aapne bahut mushkil se paaya hai. “ he said firmly.

“prem ek khubsurat ehsas hai. Lekin jab tak wo hum sabke beech mein ho tabhi tak. Is prem ki wajah se logon ne kaafi kuch khoya hai, aur main tumhe nahi khona chahta. “ he said.

Ruhana was confused, but she knew she did right about whatever she said to Sachin. This wasn't right! It would break them apart.
