Yeh Dooriyan 2

Chapter 2

Two weeks later

The night was dark not even the starts could make the sky sparkle, clouds covered moon in their veil. It seemed to be the darkest night, but the darkest hour is the symbol that dawn is about to hit the earth for spreading its beautiful light.

“Fight no 126VXW56 from Abu Dhabi to Delhi has been landed.” The announcement made in the Indira Gandhi international airport. Laksh was impatiently waiting for his brother, he was anxious, happy, emotional, all at the same time. He was missing his brotherly love, he was longing for that since an year.

He waited for him to check out, the moment Laksh saw his brother, he ran and hugged him like a small child. He was no less than any 4 year old kid, whereas he was a father to a 4 year old now!

“Lucky, stop crying like a newly wedded bride! I won’t go back from airport! Moreover if you let me breath, I would be happier.” Sanskar said mockingly, while trying to conceal his pain behind that fake laugh.

“Bhai, thank-you for coming! I am sure everything will be fine now, just trust me.” Laksh said hopefully

“Let’s go! I am tired.” Sanskar said walking out of terminal T3.

Laksh was driving when Sanskar asked him to stop.

“What happened bhai?” Laksh asked.

“You know, I met Swara there for the first time. She was so innocent, so naive.” Sanskar said pointing towards Mrs Fernandis’s cafe, with tears threatening to spill from his eyes.

“Bhai, who knows your and Swara’s story will again start from any random place. God had already choosen best for us, we need to have faith in him.” Laksh said consoling him, Laksh couldn’t do anything but to console him.

“Ya, god! You know this all is happening because of your god. I was right! I knew inn patthar ki murtiyon me kuch nahi rakha, ye patthar ki murtiyan kya kisi ka Dard samjhengi.” Sanskar said hurtfully.

“Bhai” Laksh said placing a hand on his shoulder.

“No Laksh! No! Swara use to worship them, she was a true devote and what they gave her in return? Pain! Only pain!” Sanskar said closing his eyes in pain

Meanwhile at Shonali’s Apartment

Swara was clutching bedsheet tightly and murmuring something, while sweating profusely. Shonali who was sleeping besides her got up listening to her murmuring.

“Oh god! Not again!” Shonali said in worry.

She shook her to wake her up…

“Swara! Swara! Wake up! Swara!!”

She sprinkled some water on her face and she got up with a jerk, breathing heavily.
She hugged Shonali tightly. She rubbed her back.

“It’s okay, that’s just a dream.” Shonali said, while hugging her tightly.

She parted the hug and offered water to her. Swara’s hands were still trembling, so Shonali made her drink the water.

“Swara, what you saw? Again same nightmare?” Shonali asked her, when she was calm. Swara shook her head in no.

“Di, this time I saw a man and woman smiling. I-i don’t know anything, but that seemed so familiar, that male voice was so familiar as if I know the man I just can’t recall that! It’s so frustrating! I–” Swara held her hand before she could complete she started to feel dizzy.

“Swara, don’t stress yourself. Have this and sleep ” saying this Shonali passed her a tablet​, then she tucked her into bed and cares her head.

Within no time Swara fell asleep but Shonali could not sleep, she was just recalling her stupidity, her haterad for Swara. Shonali blames herself for Swara’s condition, she was repenting with each passing moment. A tear skipped her eyes, the tear of guilt.

Maheshwari Mansion

Everyone was waiting for Sanskar to come, Annapurna has prepared all the favourite dishes of her son, while DurgaPrasad was marching in the hall, he couldn’t control the excitement of seeing his son after a whole long year.

Laksh and Sanskar arrived at Maheshwari Mansion, and the moment he stepped into the hall, Everyone’s face lighted up with uncontrollable joy.

“Sanskaar! My son!” Annapurna gasped.

She moved towards him and hugged him tightly, she cried hugging him. While Sanskar was not responding to the hug, he was standing still. Annapurna realised that he wasn’t responding and she parted the hug.

“Beta, won’t you forgive your maa?” Annapurna asked with moist eyes.

“I have already told this to you, as a son yes! I had forgiven you that day but as a husband I don’t think I could forgive you.” He said bluntly, touched her feet and moved towards DurgaPrasad, who was impatiently waiting for him.

He opened his arms and Sanskar pulled him in a bone crushing hug.

“Dad!” Sanskar spoke chokingly.

DurgaPrasad was letting him cry in his arms. Annapurna was seeing this with dejected expressions, but she was more that satisfied seeing her son infront of her eyes, moreover​ atleast he could share his pain with his father.

Sanskar parted the hug and DurgaPrasad patted his back.

“Now, don’t you dare to go again! Me and your mother were longing to see you. We won’t let you go.” DurgaPrasad said emotionally.

Everyone had tears in their eyes. Ragini took the charge and diverted the topic.

“Are bas! AAP SAB log Rona band kijiye, aur Sansake aapke lie maa ne apke favourite dishes banaye hai. Chaliye kha lijiye.” Ragini said with a smile.

“Ragini, I am not hungry. I want to rest, will see you all in morning ” saying this Sanskar moved upstairs.

Annapurna busted into tears.

“Maa, you know him very well. He can’t stay angry from you for long.” Ragini said, putting a hand on Her shoulder.

“Haan maa, bhai loves you alot.” Laksh said wiping her tears.

“How laksh? I made all these things for him and he just walked away! He didn’t even see what I made for him.”Annapurna said while looking at the cloches, which were on dining table.

“Annapurna, you don’t need to feel bad about that. Laksh, you know what to do. Right?” DurgaPrasad said gesturing something to him, and in no time Laksh got his point and nodded.

Laksh served a plate and moved towards Sanskar’s room. He kept the plate on side table, whist Sanskar was in bathroom.
Sanskar came out and saw that plate. Indeed he was hurt with Annapurna, but at  the same time he was missing her motherly love.  He tried his level best to resist but couldn’t. He immediately closed the door and grabbed the plate.

The moment he put the first morsel in his mouth, his eyes filled with tears. Afterall, he was tasting the home made food after a long time. Moreover, the motherly loved in it was making it delicious.

Annapurna saw him eating from the window of his room and felt satisfied. Now, her Smile was satisfactory.
