Chapter 30: The New Place

Ruhana was broken after reading the letter left by Manvi. Vineet was also shocked with her move. He hugged Ruhana and tried consoling her.

"Ruhana ...please shant ho jao. Hum...hum Manvi ko dhundhenge. Mil jayegi wo."  he said.

She looked at him...."Kahan dhundhenge? Pata nahi kahan hogi meri mannu? Sab tumhare us bhai ki wajah se. Dekho kya haal kiya hai usne meri Mannu ka. " she jerked his hand.

He looked at her "Ruhana ...maine kaha na....Viraj ko main sakht se sakht saza dilvaunga. Yakeen karo mera..." he said.

She glared at him... "Tum par yakeen karke bahut kuch sah chuki hu main...ab nahi sah paungi. Tumne meri zindagi barbaad ki aur tumhara wo paagal bhai, usne mujhse meri behen chheen li. Chali gayi wo ek baar phir. Jis sangharsh mein wo mere sath thi, wahin wo aaj akeli hai. "  she shouted at him and tears leaked down her eyes.

She turned to the other side... " Wo toh chahti thi ki hum ek ho jaye...lekin mujhe yeh manzoor nahi... Tum Anvi ke pita ho....chaho toh apni beti ko apne sath le ja sakte ho... Main nahi rokungi." she said.

He was shocked...."Ruhana...yeh tum kya keh rahi ho? Hosh mein toh ho?" he shouted.

"Haan...main jo keh rahi hu bahut soch samajh ke keh rahi hu.....Anvi par tumhara pura haq hai, Par main tumhare sath nahi reh sakti." She said.

He sighed and looked at her... "Ruhana relax! Main jaanta hoon, tumpar kya beet rahi hai...lekin abhi hume Anvi ko sambhalna hai...uske bare mein socho..." he said.

She turned tk the othr side... "Maine sab soch liya hain Vineet.....Meri ek nahi do betiyan hain....Mere liye Manvi aur Anvi mein se kisi ek ko chunna mushkil hain, yeh tum jaante ho.....Kitne sapne sajaye they maine lekin sab barbaad ho gaya. Meri kismat ab uski kismat ban chuki hai aur abhi Manvi jis haal mein hain, usme main sirf Anvi ke bare mein nahi soch sakti....mujhe kisi bhi tarah Manvi ka pata lagana hain." She said as tears escaped her eyes.

Vineet looked at her...."Main samajhta hoon Ruhana aur main tumhe force nahi karunga. Main jaanta hoon jo galti maine ki hai, uske baad tum mujhpar vishwas nahi kar rhi ho...jayaz bhi hai....lekin tumhe ek vaada karna hoga, tum mujhe Anvi se milne se nahi rokogi." He said.

"Maine nahi rokungi Vineet...lekin main ab kisi rishte mein bandhna nahi chahti." She said.

"thik hain....Main tumhare faisle ki izzat karta hoon, lekin hum Manvi ko kahan dhundhenge?" he asked.

She was staring at the floor and then wiped her tears...."Main vaapas Kanpur chali jaungi. Wahin se humari kahani shuru hui thi.....Maa papa ke jaane ke baad main aur Manvi yahan aa gaye...lekin ab wahin chali jaungi.....shayad Manvi wahin ho....apne sheher ka naam toh usey yaad tha...." She said with teary eyes.

At the same time, she heard Anvi. She rushed to her room, and she asked her innocently....

"Mumma, Maasi kahan gayi?"

Ruhana had no answer. She just hugged her and was crying. Anvi put her hand on her hairs....

"Mumma please mat ro....Papa hain na....papa Maasi ko dhundh ke le aayenge...hai na papa?" she looked at Vineet , who had followed Ruhana into the room.

Ruhana parted the hug....."Beta.....hum kal Maasi ko dhundhne jayenge...aap mumma ki packing mein help karoge?" she asked.

Anvi thought for a while...."par mumma, hum kyun jayenge...papa help karenge na..." she said.

"Wo tumhare papa nahi hain...samjhi tum.....sirf mumma hai tumhare paas.agar tumhe papa chahiye, toh mumma tumhare saath nahi hogi. " she shouted at Anvi and left the room.

Anvi was left teary eyed and Vineet pulled her in his embrace. He knew how disturbed Ruhana was, and she didn't want him even around her and so forth she scolded Anvi.

On the other hand, Manvi was travelling in the train, The lady beside her asked "kaha jaa rahi hai aap?"

Manvi smiles a bit and says "pata nhi"

The lady was confused.. "akeli ho?"

Manvi nods in yes, she looks outside through the window and tears escaped her eyes, her phone rings she looks at the caller ID it was Ruhana who was calling her.

She disconnects the call and switches off her phone "I am sorry di, aapse baat ki to main toot jaungi.."

Here Ruhana tried calling her again but phone got switched off in frustration she throws her phone..

"hadh hoti hai aise koi jaata hai kya... yeh bhi nhi socha mannu tune kaise rahungi main tere bina itna bada faisla tune akele kaise liya itni badi ho gayi hai kya tu ki tujhe ab meri zaroorat hi nhi" she complained looking at their picture in her hand.

TC comes to the coach where Manvi was he informs her "Madam ji agla stop last hai"

Manvi looks at him and nods. The train stops at the platform, Manvi stands on the door of the train and looks at the sign board which says "Kanpur district" she gets off the train.

"jahan se maine aur di apna safar shuru kiya tha kismat meri wapas mujhe issi sheher le aayi hai.. kanpur na jaane aur kya hai kismat ka faisla?" the questioned raised her mind. She walked outside the railway station.

The auto driver asked "madam kaha jaana hai?"

Manvi does not know where to go and says "pata nhi"

The driver looked at her and said "madam lagta hai aap Kanpur mein nayi hai.."

Manvi tries to recall "haan ring road ke pass ek hotel hai aap mujhe waha chod dijiye" she informs him

The driver replied "jee madam ji.." she sits into the auto, about 20 minutes she reached at the place and was shocked to see an school was running.

She tells to auto driver "bhaiya aap please 2 minute wait kijiye main aati hoon"

He nodes.. she sees principal and goes to him "yeh school yaha to shanti mahal tha na"

The principal speaks up "madam wo hotel bank walo ko girwi tha isliye demolish ho gaya.."

Manvi thinks "Ab kaha jau main.." as the hotel was of her father's friend and only she knew him who could help her here.

The auto driver comes there "madam ji ab kaha jaana hai"

Manvi takes out money from her purse and hands over him "yeh lo bhaiya mujhe nhi pata ab main kaha jaungi.."

Manvi walked ahead, few boys started to misbehave with her. "Are o.. aao lift dete hai"

Manvi ignored and walked ahead, the boys followed her and blocked her away. The auto driver came and shouted "bhaago yahan se warna police ko bulaunga"

The boys left, Manvi looked at him and said "dhanyavad"

The driver says "madam ye kanpur hai aap kaha batkengi aap hamari basti mein rah sakti hai agar aap chahe to"

Manvi hesitated as he was a stranger and she found it difficult to trust him.. the driver spoke "madam jee aap zyada sochiye mat main bhi parivar wala hoon, aayie please"

Manvi thought for something, he seemed to be a decent man as he saved her. She sits inside the auto and he takes her to his small chawl.

He stops the auto into front of the small colony and says "Aao madam jee"

Manvi gets out and sees the place, he asked her to follow him she does. She saw kids playing running around, right hand side a water tap and ladies standing in the line for water. It was a small chawl, specially made for labour families.

He comes to a man and says "maalik"

The landlord turns and asked "kya hai ramlal?"

Ramlal says "maalik yeh madam ke pass rehne ko thikana nhi hai idher upar hi ek kholi khali hua tha kuch din pehle inhe rehne ko de do na"

The landlord looked at her and said "Thik hai.. lekin apna koi identification card ya kuch dijiye aur mahina ka kiraya paanch hazaar"

Manvi agreed and said "mujhe manzur hai.. lekin filhal mere pass dene ke liye itna nhi hai" she hands him about two thousand.

Landlord took the money and said "thik hai.. ramlal tumhare kehne par main isey de raha hun kholi kiraye par lekin agle mahine mujhe kiraya chahiye"

Manvi thanks him.. ramlal takes her "Aao madam jee" he takes her upstairs, he opens the door and Manvi gets in.

She looked at it, it was one room and in built small area for kitchen. She looked at Ramlal and said "thank you kaka aapne bahut madad kari meri..."

Ramlal smiled and said "koi baat nhi madam jee aapko kuch bhi chahiye to samne hi meri kholi hai meri biwi ghar par rehti hai aap usko bol dena"

She nods and Ramlal leaves from there.

Manvi thinks "ab mujhe koi job dhoondna hoga.."

She arranges her things into the small house, she takes out a photo and smiles seeing it. "Anvi ab aap apne mumma aur papa dono ke saath reh sakte ho"

she was unaware of the fact that Ruhana was coming to Kanpur with Anvi.

To be continued..
