"Life itna complicated kyu hai? Kyu jo apne dil ke itne kareeb hai, itne jaldi bijhad jathi hai? Kyu ??" tears welled in her eyes.. she was so lost in her thoughts that she didn't hear the doorbell for the first time. It rang again. She woke up with a start , wiped her face and moved to the door.
The smiling face of the postman was waiting for her. "are kaka.. ap is waqt.its almost 4 pm.?"
"kuch nahi beta..wo apke chitti ke liye poora haftha wait kiya.kabhi itna late nahi hua tha na? par abhi thak nahi aya.ye batha ne keliya aya tha.." he saw moist in her eyes. Well that was for the first time he saw her this much upset."kya baath hai beta..sub teekh tho hai na??"he asked.
"kuch nahi kaka.." she wipes her tears and gave a smile.he saw that the smile didn't reach the eyes.
"mai teekh hu..aap fikar math kijiye'wo'ab apko wo chitii ka wait nahi karna hoga'ab wo nahi ayegi..kabhi nahi'" she slowly closed the door.kept her head over the door.."ab wo kabhi nahi ayegi'"
She moved to the sofa, sat on the floor and kept her head on it.she couldn't control any more'.tears were flowing from her eyes'"kyu Ri'''you promised me'right??then why?..."
Flash back:
"are yaar'aise math dekho mujhe'rulaneka plan hai kya.? " Riya asked cupping her best friend's face in her hands.
"nahi Ri..sub itne jaldi finish kyu ho gayi?pahle boarding school..phir college..ab training bhi..? now we will have to go in different ways"
"par iske matlab ye tho nahi ki hum bhijad rahi hai'we will be friends for ever'. Aur kaam tho hame alag alag hi karna hogo..u know we can't do anything about it right??"Riya asked her.
"ya..I know..par.."
"par var kuch nahi'ab mujhe suno..hum hur month letter likhenge'how s that??"Ri asked with her trademark dimple smile
"letter kuch zyada nahi hai kya'how about email?"
"tu nahi sudhronge'. Yaar apne hatho se letter likne mei jo maza ayenge na..wo is stupid email aur sms mei nahi hai'and waiting for the next letter'wo excitement kuch or hi hai'got it? Budhu'"
"ok'I think its great idea' lets do it'par agar sirf hai hello hi hoge tho'mein chod dhungi ha'."
"are nahi Sapna'.sirf hai hello nahi hoga'ye hamari life ke best experience hoga'.dekhna 'you will love it'"riya hugged'"still I'l miss u yaar'."
"me too Ri'."
Flashback ends.
"miss you Ri'."
CHAPTER 2:
Riya and Sapna..friends forever.. after completing triaining Riya was posted in Mumbai in the Research Desk. Or mein Pune, first in Research Desk and after 8 months to the field post. Both were the best in their training period. The earlier letters both shared their experience in the research desks..their day to day works.. both loved their jobs but were too eager for the field jobs.
"….yaar hum field me kab jayega? Its not that I don't like my work…but still…." Riya complained.
The reply was not different."are ha Ri…"
But after 8 months I was placed in the field job .
"……….Ri…Guess what mujhe field job mil gaye…so excited yaar………dekhna u will also be placed soon….here all going well………good co workers….miss u a lot….."
"……..So happy for u Sapna. Lets hope my turn come soon……….you take care…. Miss u too……."
And after 4 months:
"….Sapna… mujhe ETF mein selection mila hai 😛……..joining next week…."
The next letter was so heavy…..
"…….ETF mein pehla din tha.great experience!!😉.sunogi tho thum bhi behosh hojayegi😳….ETF chief ACP Sameer Rathod..mujhe laga tha ki poore force mein inse khadoos koi nahi hoga…par I was wrong…so wrong…wo bohot hi strict hai..par ok.phir team mein Shree hai,the gadget man.or Chotu…camando hai…naam pe math jaana…bohot bada hai..par so sweet.shree or chotu ek dum superb hai…or aya wo😲….jo saare khadoos insano ke baap ho😲…ACP Arjun S Rawte…athe hi gadbad ki maine..mujhe kya pathe tha ki wo mere senior hai?mein unhe attack kiya…or wo mujhe…thank god Sameer Sir agaye…warna pehle hi din mere ram nam satya hojatha ….lekkin kadhoos inteligent hai…uske ek dialog hai 'samje ya samjaoo..' film mein hota tho thali marte…seedhe sunne me hava udh jathi hai…."
The letter was almost a case file.but zyada stress logon mein thi…Rathod Sir…Shree..Chotu…Arjun Sir…aise lag raha tha ki mein bhi wahi hoon.
Phir mahine me ek se zyaada letter likhna shuru kardiya hum ne…or uski letter hamesha merese bhaari thi..Riya se or kya expect kar sakthe the…jithna bolthi thi uthna likhthi thi…
Sapna smilled thinking of past😊.silly Ri..she went to her room n opened the drawer.ithne sare letter koi laila bhi apne majnu ko nahi likhi hogi…😉
The later months were not different.
"…..yaar ye Arjun Sir bhi mujhe bar bar research desk kyu bhejna chahtha hai…I know mujhe shooting main problem hai..par…"
Yes…riya's only weakness…well one among them..apart from crying by seeing others crying,non stop chatting,her hygeine, ice creams,teddy bear…etc etc.
But shooting was serious issue.she shot best to the board.but when it comes face to face…well there were reasons…but its high time to get out of it..I know she will one day…
As time passed I came to hear more about the ETF team.
"…..patha hai..chotu ki one way chakkar hai..wo har Sunday 11.30 ko dept store athe hai..naam patha kuch patha nahi…shree mujhe humesha thang karthe hai yaar…ek din wo pitegi… rathod Sir uthne Khadoos nahi hai…strict hai par dil ke achi hai…"
Then came Arjun Sir…unke upar essays hothe the…
"……..us samje ya samjao ko ek din mein batha dungi ki Riya Mukherji hai kon😡..kya samachtha hai wo apne ap ko?ha kafi inteligent hai..sab chote bade cheeze dikhthe hai..apne theory almost hamesha sahi hote hai…par itna attitude nahi dikhana chahiye…"
A month later:" ………yaar thu sahi thi…unke khadoos hone ka reason hai..unke wife the..unhe kisine mardala…bohot berahmi se…wo bhi sir ke ankhon ke samne…patha nahi wo ye sab kaise she pathe hai…you know its horrible…right? Jab shree ne mujhe ye bathaya….."
The following letter was fully dedicated to him.thab wo na khadoos thi…nahi wo emotionless…
Ye meri Ri ko ho kya rahe hai???
CHAPTER 3:
Slowly un letters ke vaje se mein bhi ETF ki invisible member hogayi.Ri kabhi bhi case ke wo sare bathe nahi bathathe the jo unhe nahi karni thi. Bus 4 men armyke kahani hi hothe the.
Ek din office me baite uske letter pad rahi thi. Mere coworkers ko laga ki meri koi boyfreind hoga or uske letter hai.sub chida rahe the or mein chup chap pad rahe the.
"………yaar don't be angry with me now..ok..mujhe goli lagi thi..isliye thodi late ho…"
I was scared like hell 😲.letter poore padne se pehle use phone kiya."kya hua thume..sambhal ke kaam nahi kar sakthi thi kya???kaise ho?? Doctor ne kya kaha?rest kar rahi ho na?medicines hai? maa ne kya kaha??" I was bombarding her..or mere friends ko confirmation bhi hua…ye boy friend hi hoga!!😉
"….sapna relax..mein teekh hu…office mein hu…or mein…."
"what??office?? pagal hogayi hai kya??tum bhi na..kabhi nahi sudhronge…😡"
"sapna….chup kar yaar…letter poora pada tu ne? ya phir bus us line?"
"kyu?"😡
"acha…tho poora padha hi nahi…pehle pado..bye…."
Letter:"…ek mission mein thi..ArjunSir ko help karne gayi thi…par mujhe hi laga..but he came out and saved me..sare encounter ke baad mujhe uthake bahar bhi le aya…he was so caring..kafi tensed the mere liye.. 😊"
Acha..tho madam bohot kush hai…😉I turned to phone her again..sub mujhe hi dekh rahe the.."kya hua..aise kya dekh rahe ho?"
"yaar Sapna tu ne bathai nahi thumhare boyfreind bhi hai??so romantic!!letters bhi likhthe hai!!kya hua wo teekh tho hai na??"
"WHAT BOYFREIND?. 😲."it took some time for me to digest.laughed a lot and told them about Riya.they were disappointed.
Then called her."kya baat hai Riya??apke Arjun Sir ne tho apko bahome leliya? 😳"
"u too Brutus….😲 Ab thumhe bi ye 'mera arjun Sir' kaha se aya?shree or chotu bhi yahi kahthe hai….me rakh rahi hu… varna wo samjhe samjhao mujhe seedhe goli mardengi… bye…"
She cut the phone."…dal mein kuch kaala hai Ri… 😆."
Next Letter tho poora explanation the.lag raha the ki wo mujhe nahi balki apne aap ko explain kar rahe the.
"…Sapna jaise thumhe or chotu-shree ko lag rahe hai waise kuch bhi nahi hai…yes mujhe pahle unse bohot gussa atha tha..abhi bhi aathi hai..kabhi kbhi…par as an individual mein unhe bohot respect karthe hoon….unke zindagi mein jo hua us se wo jeena hi bus ek daily routine bana lihai..bus jeethi hai…kaam karthi hai…or kuch nahi…unhone muskurana thak bhool gaye hai…but u know what..wo kafi badal bhi gayi hai…thode thode life ko apnane lagi hai..rarely he smiles…😊"
I just couldn't believe ye meri Ri hai!!
"…mujhe patha nahi hai kyu meine unki pocket me wo coin daali.par upar wale ke lakh lakh shukar hai ki meine wo ki…us se wo us goli se bach gayi…or mujhe ye bhi nahi patha ki meine wo coin abhi mere paas kyu rakh rahi hoon…jaise tum log soch rahi hai mein unse pyaar nahi kar rahi hai..nahi koi infatuation hai…par usse badkar kuch hai… 😳 kabhi dar lagthe hai ki ye feeling pyaar me nahi badle…its not that I don't trust him…I trust him more than anyone else..par I am not sure if I am eligible for him…inhe koi aise hum safar chahiye jo unhe sambhale…unse ithna pyar kare ki bhagvan bhi unhe alag na kar paye…jo unhe phir se muskurana sikhaye…jo us se samje samjaoo keh paye.. 😊wo mein na tho sahi…koi sacha humsafar mile…"
Par Riya thumhe ye nahi patha ki thumhare andhar kahi na kahi tum unhe pyaar karthi ho…lagtha hai ki mujhe hi thume ye samjane padega…mujhe ye thumse pehle hi batha dena chahiye tha..
But ab bohot der hogayi hai……….bohot der hogayi ………..
Sapna was out of her thoughts when her phone rang."Chief…is waqt?" its almost 11.45pm.she wiped her face and composed herself. "hello Sir? "
"Sapna be in my office tmrw sharp 8am"
"ok Sir, any problem?"
"no officer. ek good news hai..tumhare transfer horahe hai.. Mumbai..ETF mein.as their new RESEARCH SPECIALIST…happy??"
She didn't hear anything else…she was numb…😲
