Teri Meri Kahaani PART-3 A breezing wind calms down the stress and anger of Indira, who stands in the terrace looking at the sun set. She closes her eyes and sees Rishi standing in front of her with his cute smile and saying:Ek Pyaarwali Jhappi please...Indira raises her hand and suddenly opens her eyes to find the pangs of loneliness piercing through her; tears roll down her eyes and she wipes them in anger .But the anger turns into a smile as she sees her daughter holding Rishis photograph and kissing it. Indira:Aare Mere Guddiya Kiya Karhahin Hain? Riya: Looks at her mother and brings the photo to her and shows her to kiss it. Indira: Seeing the innocence of her little one could not control her tears, which starts rolling down .In her loneliness,Indira has many a times held Rishis photograph and talked to it, sometimes being angry at it, and sometimes pleading her beloved to come back to her .But never has she shown her emotions in front of anyone ,unless today when her daughter wants her to show her love for Rishi .Indira holds the photograph in front of her lips and kisses it, and hugs it and Riya. Its been a week since Rishi has met this little friend Riya, and she seems to capture a special place in his heart; something about her that makes him being protective about her. Although he is not able to understand this strange feeling, but for the first time after a while, Rishi feels happy .As he looks at the cute picture of Riya in his cell-phone, it starts ringing. Rishi:Hello,Hain,Thhik Hain Mein Aarahain Hoin Shyaamke Flightse.[Keeps the phone on his bed and rushes to the bathroom to take a quick shower.] Indira: She gets ready for office and gets Riya dressed as well. As they walk the narrow streets of Chandni Chowk,Riya suddenly starts pulling her mothers duppatta.Kiya Hoya Beetain, Humein Yehain Nahin Rukna Hain,Chalo. Riya: In her cute sweet voice calls, Mamma Pho , pointing her finger at a rose in a flower shop. Indira: Looks at the indication and understands; goes to the shop and buys a stem of red rose and says,Aab Khush;Wase Riya Ne Kiskeliya Phool Kharida?Mummaa Keliya. Riya: Takes the flower and hides behind her, nodding her head. Indira: Stops a rickshaw and sits in it, and looks at Riya and says, Ye Mamma Keliya Nahin To Riyane Appane Liye Kharida Hain. Riya: Smiles and says,Pappa. Indira: Her smile disappears, and a look of concern overshadows her face .She is not able to understand how to handle this situation; how to explain her little one that, her father has gone far away from them, and perhaps they will never see him .The rickshaw stops near the metro station and Indira comes back from her deep thoughts .She doesnt focus at the matter much and drops Riya at Tinas place. Its indeed an unusual day as Rishi felt a strange feeling of happiness within for a little girl, who he knows has no relation with him ; Indira is ,for the first time ,concern about her daughter and her strange behavior for the past few days ;and Riya is happy to see her family complete ,i.e. .,she ,her mamma and her papa together, in her world. Tina: She has been observing that Riya has been sad that day and did not mix with anyone, sitting quietly in the corner and tearing the petals of her flower,which she brought for Rishi .Tina goes near Riya with a glass of juice and says,Riya,Kiya Hoyaa?Aaj Toh Aap Na Tina aunty Se Baat Karhe Hoin,Aur Nahin Kuchbhi Khaye.Riya Naraaz Hain Aunty se Riya: Starts weeping and rubs her eyes with small little fingers saying, Mamma, Mamma Tina: She figures out that may be Riya is not feeling well, so she calls up Indira: Hello,Indira,Riya Roo Rahin Hain Aur Tumhein Dhund Rahin Hain,Mere Khyalse Tum Ishein Ghaar Lajawo. Indira: Gets tensed and tells Tina,Ha Mein Aarahin Hoin;she gets anxious and leaves to board the metro .Indira remembers the incident this morning and gets more restless .The train stops and she rushes out and takes a rickshaw and goes to Tinas place. The bell rings, and Tina opens the door to find Indira tensed and restless. Tina:Indira ,calm down .Riya Thhik Hain, Mujhe Nahin Pattah Tha Ki Tum Itna tensed Ho Jawoingi. Indira: Keeps her bag in the sofa and rushes to her daughter ,who seems very upset.Riya Kiya Howa Beetein? Riya: Keeps aside her doll and hugs her mother,uttering Mummaa. Indira: Hugs her baby ,and says, Ha Mummaa Aagayein Hain Chalo,turns towards Tina and says ,Tina,Ise Kiya Hoya?Riyako Kabhi Isstarah Udass Nahin Dekha,Mere Baachii...[almost in tears] Tina: Makes Indira and Riya sit and brings water,Indira relax. Bacha Kabhi Kabhi Istarhain Behave Kartein Hain,Jub Unki Tabiyat Aachin Nahin Laagti Hain.Ise pediatrician Ke Pass Lejawoin Aur checkup Karwalo.Im sure shyaam Tak Thik Hojayeingi. Indira:Hain Mein Abhi Lekar Jarahin Hoin.[Takes Riya in her arms and leaves] In the doctors clinic as there is a rush ,Indira goes to the reception and asks permission to go to the doctor, first .This provokes a few parents waiting for their turn and they start yelling ,when Indira takes her Hitler avatar, holding her waist ,says:Aap Logoin Ko Dikhaye Nahin Deta Kiya,Mere Baachiki Tabiyaat Theek Nahin Hain. The Receptionist: Madam Zaara Theerahi Yein ,Baas Inn Teen Patients Ke Baadhin Aapka Numer Hain,Aur Yehain Saabhi Aapne Baachoin Ko Checkup Keliya Hin Layein Hain.Relax. Indira: She realizes that she is panicking too much, and other children must also be in an emergency situation .So, she sits for her turn, and finally gets in. The Doctor: Checks up Riya, and says Indira:Mrs.Diwan Ghabrane Ke Koie Baat Nahin. The child is fine ;Aur Aapne Jase Baatayein Ke wo suddenly Bohot Upset Hogaye, Aur Dusre Din Ke Taarha Active Bhi Nahin Hain;Mujhe Laagta Hain Ke Uska Kise Dusre Bache Ke Saat Kuch Aan-Baan Hoye Hain Art Class Mein,Aur Riya Ne Roona Shuroo Kard .Its normal, dont panic. Indira: Gets a moments relief and leaves. She calls up at her office and informs that since her daughter is not feeling well, shell take the day off. Indira and Riya reach home and relax after changing.Indira makes Riya sit on the bed with her doll, and she finishes up her work at the computer. But that day Riya seemed more demanding than other days, she puts her doll aside and sits at her mothers lap, hugging her. A hint of worry again comes down on Indira, who shuts down her computer and gives her entire attention to her daughter. Indira: [hugging Riya, kisses at her forehead]kiya Hoya Mere Kuddiya Ko Aaj,Mammaako Kaambhi Karne Nahin Derahin Hain ,Aur smile Bhi Nahin Derahin Hain.[Starts tickling Riya ,who soon gives her mamma a broad smile]Indira gets a sigh of relif to see her little one smile, and they spent some time playing with each other .In fact, its only with Riya, after Rishi, with whom Indira becomes her real self. As evening turns into night,Riya starts behaving normally, which relaxes Indiras anxiety.Indira feeds Riya and she brings her upstairs on her back, and sings a lullaby.Riya falls asleep, and as Indira turns to cover her up, she finds Riya holding her Papas photo. This is perhaps nothing unusual in a normal family, where a child behaves this way when either one of the two parents goes away for work. The child misses his/her mother, or father. But in this case, Indira has been bringing up Riya all on her own,Rishi being only a part of imagination, whom the little one has never seen. And although Indira has never hidden Rishis importance in their life, never hid his picture from his daughter, Rishis presence in Riyas life was partial; forming the parts of his daughters imagination only. But today something was different, Riya, instead of holding her mamma and sleeping, held her fathers picture close to her heart and fell asleep; with a beautiful smile on her face as though she is in her fathers arms, loving him.Indira took the picture and kept it on the side table, brushing her fingers on it and wishing for her love to come back and take her and their daughter in his arms.
