“Kitni baar keh chuka hoon tumse… main THIK hoon. Kyun baar baar mujhe dhoond rahi ho? Kyun baar baar mujh tak pohoch rahi ho?”
She stayed quiet, silently taking his outburst. His gaze refusing to meet her eyes while he was expressing his irritation didn’t let her mind his rude tone.
Stepping forward, she placed her hand on his shoulder. “Aap thik hote to main iss waqt apne cafe mein pastries bana rahi hoti. Aap thik nahi hai isiliye to mujhe mere bechare customers ko ta ta bye bye bolke aana pada!”
He jerked her hand off his shoulder. “Maine tumse nahi kaha tha…”
“Aapne nahi kaha… aapki aankhon ne keh diya tha, Ahaan,” she said, turning him toward herself by his arm, “cafe mein Savitri Aunty se milne ke baad aapka chehra dekhkar hi samajh gayi thi kuch to sahi nahi hai lekin kuch puchu uske pehle hi aap chale gaye. Kya baat hai, Ahaan?”
“Tumne mujhe jhooth bolkar uss aurat se milne kyun bulaya?”
“Jhooth? Jhooth nahi bola, Ahaan. Aunty ne kaha tha aap dono jaante hai ek dusre ko aur unhone kaha unhe aapko surprise dena tha. Bas isiliye-“
“Maa hai wo meri!” He cut her off, shutting his eyes as he revealed that to her.
Stunned, she struggled to process it.
“Lekin uss shabd ke kabil nahi hai wo. She is nothing more than a selfish woman who ran away with her rich lover, abandoning her kids and never looked back to see if her kids are alive or dead.”
She couldn’t look away from the vulnerability behind the mask of his rage.
“Abhi bhi badli nahi hai wo. She used you to trap me,” he added.
“Main… mili hoon unse. Wo aisi… lagi nahi, Ahaan,” she hesitantly muttered, not sure if he was in the mindset to understand.
“Haan, kar lo ab tum bhi unn par yaqeen. Waise bhi chhen na unki firtat hai. Tab mujhse mere Papa cheene the aur ab tumhe.”
“Koi humse kisi uss shaqs ko nahi chhen sakta jinhe hum khone se mana kar de aur jo hume, AVM.”
Jinhe
Hum
Khone
Se
Mana
Kar
De
Aur
Jo
Hume!

This is a random piece of fiction. Absolute imagination. Kind of a random mini tale based on the picture on the characters named Ishqi and Aahan from the show Ishk Par Zor Nahi.Â
