Chapter 11
They park their car outside the bungalow. Rajveer is feeling divine in that pleasant surrounding. He experiences fresh air and nature after many months. At morning when they left Yudi's house after breakfast, Rajveer had felt like he enters in new world. First they visited mall for his shopping. After so much of arguments between Naina and others, they have bought cloths of Naina's choice. For all that time, Rajveer was watching them fighting over selection of his cloths.
At last Rajveer asked only one question to Naina, "Naina, aise koi kapde hain jo pasand kiye gaye ho iss dher mein se, jo main abhi pehen sakta hun? Hospital se bhaaga hua paagal lag raha hun main inn kapdon mein. Toh pehle aaj keliye select kar do, baaki kaa baad mein jhagdo. Tab tak main change karke aata hun." Naina felt embarrassed and gave him some cloths to change. When Rajveer has come back they all were waiting for him with tons of shopping bags. He only smiles at them and then Huda drove them here, their second destination for the day.
Malhotra dadaji is watering the plants when he spots the car coming towards their bungalow. When he notices Aalekh at front seat, he feels joyful. He walks rapidly towards the car. Meanwhile, getting down from the car Huda and Aalekh are looking for someone. Malhotra Dadaji reaches them and says, "Toh bachhon aa gaye tum sab wapas? Jabse tum log gaye ho humein toh bahot yaad rahi hain tum sabki.. gaye toh gaye uparse Rajveer bete ko bhi leke gaye. Hawa ki jhoke tarah aaye aur humein apna deewana bana gaye."
"Kya baat hain dadaji. Deewana? Nilima dadiji ke saath kal movie dekhne gaye the kya aap?" Huda winks at dadaji.
Laughing dadaji replies, "Chup kar badmaash. Sharam nahin aati kya tujhe?" Dadaji hugs Huda and then Aalekh.
Getting separated Aalekh says, "Waise dadaji, aaj aapun sab akele nahin aaile hain. Koi aur bhi aapse milne aaya hain." Aalekh gestures him towards back door of car from where Rajveer is getting down from car.
Dadaji looks at Rajveer. His eyes well up with tears. Rajveer walks two steps towards him. Dadaji is staring at him. Rajveer bends down to touch his feet but before that dadaji takes him for tight hug. Rajveer also hugs him back lovingly. "Main bata nahin sakta beta ke aaj main kitna khush hun. Hum sab kabse iss din ki raah dekh rahe the ke ek din tum jaroor uthoge. Chal andar chal. Sabko jhataka dete hain." Says dadaji.
Heading towards main door with Rajveer, Dadaji shouts from outside only and calls everyone. Parikrama Dadi looks at door. When she spots Rajveer, she shouts, "Wahin rukko. Andar mat aana main abhi aayi." Meanwhile all others reach at door and seeing Rajveer they are happily shocked. Parikrama dadi comes with tray of Aarti in her hand. She showers some flowers at Rajveer and applies kumkum at his forehead. She does his aarti. She places one hand on his cheeks. Everyone has tears in eyes. Even Rajveer doesn't know that tears are already flowing down from his eyes to cheeks. He never experienced so much loved in his life. Parikrama dadi wipes his tears and all leads him inside the house.
Outside the door, his six soldiers are witnessing this. They wipe their tears. Naina is eager to meet them all. She has many things to express but she knows that they need to treasure this moment with him. Now they have more right over Rajveer than them.
When they reach at door, they see that everyone is sitting circling Rajveer. But there is big mess as all are speaking together. Rajveer is unable to respond to anyone. Some is trying to introduce all, other is telling story that how he landed there and what exactly happened to him at that day. Khurana dadaji refuses others to sit beside him and he grabs that seat.
Seeing that mess, Malhotra dadaji shouts, "Chup ho jao sabke sab. Usse saas toh lene do.. bachhon ki tarah shuru ho gaye sab ke sab. Abhi bhi yeh itna strong nahin hua hain ke tum sab ko jhel sake." Suddenly, silence fills that room and everyone starts looking at Rajveer expectantly that he speaks something. But Rajveer is overwhelmed to speak anything. Except Navin and his cadets, this is the first time when he is feeling love and concern for him in many eyes.
"Arey, baki ke bachhe kaha hain?" asks Khurana dadaji.
"Chalo. Kisiko toh hum yaad hain. Nahin toh mujhe laga ke inka call connect hone ke baad humare number toh waiting pe chale gaye." Says Pooja entering in the house with all.
"Nahin beti, tum logon ko koi bhul sakta hain kya? Lekin tum nahin samjhogi ab iske saath ek alag rishta hain hamara." Nilima dadi says placing her hand on Rajveer's head.
"Rishta toh hum samajh gaye dadi, par ye kya aapne toh humare sir ko rula diya." Huda says.
Everyone looks at Rajveer. Rajveer wipes his tears and says, "Nahin Huda. Ye toh khushike aansoo hain. Main kya kahun mujhe kuch samajh mein nahin aa raha. Aap sabne mere liye jo kia... mera matlab.. main.." It is a difficult task for Rajveer to find proper words to express gratitude. His emotions are choked up.
"Kuch kehne ki zaroorat nahin hain beta.. hum samajh gaye tum kya kehna chahte ho. Lekin hamara yakeen karo. Ismein hamara hi swarth tha. Hamare apne beton ne toh humein paraya kar diya par tum mein humein ek beta mil gaya tha. Humein laga tha ke tum uth jaoge toh humein hamara beta mil jayega. Par tumhe toh apnon ke pyar ki jyada zaroorat thi. Ulta hummein maaf kar do. Humne tumhare apnon ko dhoondne ki koshish hi nahin ki. Nahin toh ho sakta hain ke tum isse bhi jaldi..." Varma dadaji chooses to keep his words incomplete.
"Aap ye kya keh rahe hain. Aapne toh mujhe dusra janam diya hain. Aur aapse ye kisne kaha ke aapne beta kho diya. Aapne toh mujhe itna bada pariwar de diya. Aur kahin naa kahin mujhe uss haalat mein pahunchane ke jimmedar mere apne hi the. Kabhi kabhi apnon se jyada parayon se woh mil jata hain jo aapne kabhi sapne bhi naa socha ho." Rajveer says sadly.
Naina and others understand that Rajveer is talking about Lala gehlot. He is the one who was responsible for the torment which they had to face. Yudi tries to lighten the mood when he feels that atmosphere is turning serious, "Sir, you have to promise us that abse aap purana kuch yaad nahin karenge. Hum sab hain naa ab aapke saath. Waise sir, aapko inn sabko kuch dena tha, right?"
Rajveer remembers that they have purchased not only for him but also for all the dada-dadis. He calls Naina and asks her to bring all shopping bags. Aalekh goes with her to help her.
Malhotra dadaji asks Ali who is sitting beside him, "Woh kaun hain? Yeh toh uss din tum logon ke saath nahin thi?"
"Woh? Woh Naina hain. Unhe uss din academy mein kuch kaam ke karan rukna pada tha toh woh hamare saath nahin thi uss din." Replies Ali.
"Lekin aisa kyun lag raha hain ke maine isse pehle dekha hain?" He mutters to himself and then he remembers the photo in Rajveer's wallet and the name 'Naina'. Now he realizes who must be Naina is.
Then only Naina enters with Aalekh with many shopping bags. They all start distributing gifts to all when Khurana dadaji asks, "Iss sabki kya jaroorat hain. Tum sab aaye. Rajveer beta thik ho gaya, hamare liye yahi bahot hain. Iss umra mein yeh gift leke kya karenge?"
"Kyun? Gift aur umra ka kya sambandh?" Naina asks and continues, "Ab aapne jo kuch bhi kiya uske liye shukriya toh hum bol nahin sakte kyunki woh bahot chota ho jayega. Lekin phir bhi hamara pyar samajh ke yeh sab rakh lijiyega. Humein achha lagega. Aisa samajh lijiye ke aapke pota poti leke aaye hain." Naina smiles at all while distributing gifts along with Rajveer.
"Aur aisi umra hi kya huyi hain aapki?" asks Huda, "Jannaniyon ke maamle mein toh aap sab aaj bhi humse aage hain. Agar aap Huda ko hara sakte hon toh aap ka koi mukabla nahin. Waise dadaji, aap sab se jara madad chahiye."
"Arey beta, tum sirf bolo. Tum sab keliye yeh dada-dadi kuch bhi kar lenge." Malhotra dadaji says smilingly.
Looking at rajveer and Naina who are still busy in gifts, Huda says, "Yaha kisiko aapke tuition ki jaroorat hain. Patipatayi janani ko kaise patate hain, iss bare mein?"
Hearing what Huda says, gift falls from Rajveer's hand and he looks shockingly at Huda. Naina gives one angry look to Huda and others have hard time to control their laugh.
Though dadaji understand what exactly Huda wants to convey, still he asks naughtily, "Agar ladki pehle se pati hain toh phirse patane ki kya jaroorat hain Huda beta?"
"Jaane do dadaji. Aap nahin samjhenge. Wo aisa hain ke..." Huda is going to tell something but Rajveer interrupts him.
"Dadaji, main... woh... mera matlab.. haan.. yaad aaya.. mujhe woh karma dekhna hain jahan pichle dedh saal tak aap sabne meri dekhbhaal ki." Rajveer succeeds to change the topic.
"Haan, beta.. kyun nahin. Chalo main dikhata hun. Woh abhi tak bilkul waisa rakha hain jaise tum usse chodke gaye the." Khurana dadaji holds Rajveer hand and walks towards stairs follow by Naina, Aalekh and other dadajis.
But Malhotra dadaji stays there with others. As soon as they go out of their sight, he asks, "mujhe ab puri kahaani sunni hain. Woh bhi jaldi. Unn sabke aane se pehle."
"Puri kahaani? Kis baat ki dadaji?" Asks Ali.
"Rajveer bete aur Naina ki." Replies Dadaji.
"How did you guess that dadaji?" Yusi asks astonishingly.
"Yunhi baal safed nahin huye hain beta. Main jab se tum log aaye hon tabse dekh raha hun. Naa uski najar Naina se hatti hain naa Naina ki Rajveer bete se. Aur Huda bete ke kehne ke baad woh dono jaise yaha se bhaag gaye tab toh mujhe yakeen ho gaya. Aur yeh yahi Naina hain jiski photo uske pass thi, jiska naam usne lia tha behoshi mein. ab jaldi batao." Dadaji surprised everyone.
"Kya baat hain dadaji. Aap ka toh ekdum upgraded version hain. Toh sunno. Yeh mere Veer Zaara ki story hain." Pooja, Yudi, Ali and Huda start narrating story of Rajveer and Naina to all.
-----
After lunch, Naina is helping dadis in kitchen. Rajveer is taking walk with dadajis in garden. They show him their nursery and tell about the research on which the owner of this estate is working. Suddenly dadaji asks Rajveer, "Kya tum Naina se pyaar karte ho?"
-----
In Kitchen, one dadi asks Naina, "kya bahot pyar karti ho Rajveer bete se?
Naina startles after hearing that question. She tries to cover the topic, "nahin dadi. Aisa kuch..." but dadi interrupts her.
-----
Dadaji says to Rajveer, "Kya aisa kuch nahin hain? Chippane ki koi jaroorat nahin hain. Humein sab pata hain. Aur tumne koi gunah toh nahin kia hain. Kehne mein kya problem hain?"
"Aapko nahin pata. Bahot complications the hamare rishte mein pehle. Aur Naina ne aaj tak bahot jyada suffer kiya hain. Har baar. Har baat ke liye. Bahot kuch beet gaya hain." Sighs Rajveer.
-----
Then Nilima dadi says, "Jo beet gaya hain wo beet gaya hain beti. Agar piche kya hua yeh dekhti rahogi toh aage kaise chal paogi. Tumhara pyaar aur vishwas hi tha beti jo usse wapas tumhare pass le aaya hain. Tum dono ne bahot si mushkilon ka saamna kiya aur har baar jeet ke laute."
"Dadi aap sahee keh rahi hon. Par aisa bhi toh ho sakta hain ke itna sab kuch hone ke baad aur abhi maut ke muh se lautne ke baad unhe thoda waqt chahiye ho. Kuch samay sochne keliye." Naina puts forth her doubt.
-----
"Kaisa aur kaunsa waqt Rajveer bete?" says Khurana dadaji. "Tumhe nahin lagta ke pehlehi bahot der ho chuki hain. Tum dono ek dusre ko khohi chuke the lekin zindagi ne tum dono ko ek aur mauka diya hain.
"Aur Zindagi dusra mauka sabko nahin deti." Malhotra dadaji says remembering his wife. "Mujhe bhi tumhari dadi ko bahot kuch kehna tha. Uski saari ichhayein puri karni thi jo main nahin kar paaya. Jab mere paas woh thi tab waqt aur paisa dono nahin tha aur jab yeh dono the tab woh jaa chuki thi. Kabhi bhi khudko roko mat. Apne dil ki suna karo. Wo kabhi jhooth aur galat nahin kahega. Kya pata hamara aaj hamare kal mein milega ya nahin."
-----
"Dadi yeh sab main samajh rahi hun. Hum dono ko ab ek dusre ko dil ki baat bata deni chahiye. Par aapko nahin lagta ke ek Gentleman ki tarah unhe mujhe yeh pehle bolna chahiye. Ek ladki kitni bhi strong kyun naa ho lekin wo hamesha chahti hain ke woh pehle bole." Says Naina, blushing hard.
Parikrama dadi laughs and says, "Baat toh bilkul pate ki kahi beti. Ek ladki iss din ke kayi sapne dekhti hain. Main samajh sakti hun. Lekin tumhi toh keh rahi thi ke tum dono ki baat alag hain. Woh abhi abhi maut ke muh se lautke aaya hain. Abhi mansik star par usse tumhare madad ki jaroorat hain. Aise mein ho sakta hain ke woh kuch naa kahein toh pehal toh tumhe hi karni hogi. Kyun? Samajh rahin ho na meri baat?" Naina nods her head in yes and hugs dadi.
-----
"Hey bhagwan. Rajveer bete mujhe toh laga tha tum ek sachhe soldier ho. Ek true gentleman. Huda, Aalekh, Yudi, Ali, Pooja sabne toh yahi kaha tha. Lagta hain woh tumhe pehchaan nahin paaye." Varma dadaji says smaking his head.
"Kya matlab?" asks Rajveer astonishingly.
"Matlab kya puch rahe ho beta?" asks dadaji. "Tumhare kehne ka matlab hain ke Naina aake tumse kahe ke wo tumse pyar karti hain aur tum ladkiyon ke tarah sharmaake uske pyar ka sweekar karoge?"
Rajveer blushes at this.
"Dekho. Abhi se sharma raha hain. Are bhalehi woh kitni bhi bahadoor soldier ho. Lekin hain toh ladki. Aur ladkiyaan phoolon ki pankhoodiyon ki tarah hoti hain. Najook. Unhe bade pyar se sambhalna padta hain." Says Khurana dadaji.
"Bilkul sahi kaha Khurana tumne." Says Malhotra dadaji. "Maja toh issi mein hain jab tum jaake apne andaaj mein usse woh kahoge jo wo sunna chahti hain. Woh sunne ke baad ka uska chehra tumhe zindagibhar jeene ke liye majboor karta rahega." Dadaji says remembering something.
"Hmm... Aap yeh mujhe bata rahe ho ya khud kuch yaad kar rahe ho? Sach bataiye dadaji, Dadi ka chehra yaad aaya naa jab aapne unhe kaha tha." Rajveer asks naughtily.
"Ahaa. Kya baat kahi beta tune. Lali dekho hamare Malhotra ke chehre ki. Jaroor bhabhiji ki hi yaad aayi hogi." Says Khurana dadaji placing one hand on malhotra dadaji's shoulder.
"Phir kya Khurana. Tum hi batao agar hum iske tarah hote toh kya humari shaadi kabhi huyi bhi hoti kya? Hum toh bas dusronke shaadiyon mein jaate khaana khaane. Jaise ye jayega Ali aur Pooja ke." Dadaji says sarcastically. Others laugh where Rajveer feeling embarrassed.
-----
All other 5 are watching this scene from terrace and laughing secretly.
"I seriously hope friends ke inn mein se ek koi yeh baat samajh jaaye." Says Yudi.
"Sahee baat kahi Yudie tune. Agar yeh sab dada dadi apne apne mission mein kamyab ho jaaye toh Phoolan ki aur sirji ki life ban jaye." Says Huda placing his both hands on shoulders of Ali and Yudi.
"dono mein se koi bhi call receive kar le toh chalega." Says Pooja.
"Lekin aapun ko nahin lagta ke isse itni jaldi kuch hone wala hain. Yeh dono bhi yede hain. Aapun achhi tarah se janta hain, Naina ko bhi aur Rajveer sir ko bhi. Aapun sab ko abhi jara jasti mehnat karni padegi." States Aalekh dryly. He knows very well that there is long way to go for all of them.
"Thik kaha aapne Guru. Humein bhi aisahi lagta hain." Says Ali. They choose to remain silent for some minutes. Then again Ali asks, "Huda bhai, hum yaha se kaha jaayenge? Sham hone ko aayi hain aur sir ko ab rest ki bhi jaroorat hain. Wo abhi bhi puri tarah se fit nahin hain."
"Jaanta hun main usool. Hum thodi der mein yahan se nikalte hain. Toh hum raat ke khaane tak waha pahonch jayenge. Tab tak sir ki dawaainyon ka bhi waqt ho hi jayega. Abhi ki toh Phoolan ne unhe de hi di hain."
"Lekin hum jaa kaha rahe hain Huda? You said yesterday ke hum mere ghar wapas nahin jaane waale. Then?" asks Yudi.
"Aapun sab Huda ke ghar jaa rele hain. Sir ko jara khuli hawa aur nature ke saath rehna hain aisa keh rahe the. Toh Huda ka ghar toh bilkul kheton mein hain. Sir ko achha lagega. Isiliye aapun dono ne decide kiya ke waha chalte hain." Aalekh informs everyone.
All look at Huda. "You mean Chief, humein iske bhaison ke saath rehna hoga?" asks Yudi mischievously.
"Oye Yudie, mere bhaison ko kuch naa keh nahin toh sach mein tabele mein sona padega. Meri mummyji se baat ho gayi hain. Woh hongi toh hamare khaane ki tension kam ho jayengi. Waise bhi mummyji ke haath ke khaane ki badi yaad aa rahi hain." Says Huda.
"Tu kehna kya chahta hain Huda. Tu ye Pooja aur Naina ke banaye khaane se tang aa gaya tha?" Asks Aalekh innocently, smirking in mind.
Pooja looks angrily at Huda and Huda gives shocked look to Aalekh. Aalekh, Ali and Yudi try hard to hide their smile.
"Oye Huda, hum achha khana nahin banate kya? Aur waise bhi main aur Naina hum dono itne din toh ghar the hi nahin. Tu kya missed call de raha hain?" Pooja shouts at Huda.
"arey Punjaban, tu bhi kya iss Qaidi ki baton mein aaa gayi. Bhadka raha hain yeh tumhe. Mere kehne ka matlab tha ke..." Huda tries to explain but at that moment Rajveer comes there and saves Huda.
"Hello guys, kya chal raha hain? Aur tum sab log idhar kya kar rahe ho?" asks Rajveer.
"Arey Sir, aap yahan kyun aa gaye. Humein bula diya hota. Hum neeche aa jate." Says Ali.
"Please yaar, mujhe aise treat karna band karon jaise ke main bahot bimar hun. Aisa kuch sunte hi aadhi energy kam ho jati hain meri. Main ab bilkul theek hun. Kuch problem nahin hain ab mujhe." Says Rajveer getting irritated.
"Maaf kar dena Sirji. Woh kya hain na badi chinta lagi rehti hain aapki. Ek baar aapka weakness chala jaaye phir toh aapke saare orders sun lenge." Says Huda.
"Main samjhta hun ke tum logon ko meri bahot chinta hain. Aur mera yakeen karo main khudko bahot naseebwala samjhta hun ke tum sab mere saath ho. Par pehlehi wo Naina hain jo mujhe idhar ki cheej udhar karne nahin deti. Hamesha najar rakhe hoti hain mujhpar. Mere piche piche aati hain jaha bhi main jaata hun. Abhi bade mushkil se ghumne ko mil raha hain toh tum log shuru ho gaye. Arey jab tak main akele kuch karoonga nahin tab tak mujhe kaise pata chalega ke main kya kar sakta hun aur kya nahin. Naina toh ye baat samajh ne se rahin. Aap log toh samjho." Rajveer says all this in one breath.
All are looking at him silently without saying a word. Rajveer notices their blank faces and puzzles, "ab bolo bhi. Itna bhi kya keh diya maine ke aap log naraj ho gaye."
Yudi indicates his finger behind Rajveer. Rajveer turns to look behind at terrace door. Naina stands there folded her hands at her chest. Rajveer closes his eyes tightly.
"Aaj toh hamare sirji sach much ke shaheed hone wale hain." Huda whispers to Aalekh.
"Aapun ko bhi aiseich kuch lag re la hain." Aalekh whispers back,
"Kyun tum dono ek dusre ke kan mein baatein kar rahe hon. Jor se bolo. Desh aazad hain. Sabko bolne ki aazadi hain. Baki ke log jab dusron ke baare mein nahin sochte toh tum kyun soch rahe hon." Naina asks Aalekh and Huda. "Hum toh yaha kisiko irritate kar rahe hain. Paabandi laga di hain kisi ke aazadi par. Tum logon ko pata nahin yaha kisiki parvah karna bahot bada gunah hain."
"Naina, tum mujhe galat samajh rahi hon. Mere kehne ka matlab..." Rajveer tries to defend himself but Naina cuts his words.
"Sahee kaha aapne. Main toh sab kuch galat samajhti hun. Aap jyada der chalein toh chakkar aane lagte hain aapko, yeh bhi maine galat samjha. Bhari cheejein abhi bhi uthayi nahin jaati aapse, yeh bhi toh galat hain. Aap toh kitne bahadoor soldier hain. Aapko bhala kya takleef ho sakti hain. Sab toh meri hi Galti hain. Thik hain aaj se jo marji karon mujhe kya but mind you Captain Rajveer, agar phir aapko.." Pointing out her finger at him she starts to enter in terrace but her leg slips and she fells on Rajveer. She closes her eyes tightly.
Rajveer holds her steadily. He gives support by holding her waist. She clutches his shoulders for support by both her hands. When she comes to know that she didn't fell on ground, she opens her eyes slowly only to find out that Rajveer is staring at her face.
"Lo phir shuru ho gaye yeh dono." Pooja whispers to all.
"Haan yaar Panjaban. Kya inki aankhein thak nahin jaati. Jab bhi dekho toh bina palke zapkaye ek dusre ko taarte rehte hain." Says Huda smirkingly.
For next some minutes, they enjoy watching lovebirds. Rajveer and Naina are looking intently into each other's eyes. First, Naina comes out from her daze and reality dawns upon her that where is she and what is she doing. She leaves Rajveer and stands still. Rajveer also makes his T-shirt straight and says, "Koi kuch der pehle bol raha tha ke mujhe thik se chalna nahin aata lekin yahan toh lagta hain dusron ko bhi chalte huye sahare ki jaroorat hain." Naina blushes at this and runs out at downstairs. A small smile spreads on Rajveer's lips when he sees her blushing.
All start laughing including Rajveer. At that same moment they hear that dadaji is calling for them.
Rajveer asks, "chalein ya abhi aur bhi kuch baki hain?" and he winks. They all smile and head out for downstairs.
