The First Move
Scene 1
'aayiye Hemaji'
Shamita, Neel, Hansa, Rithul and Hema made their way to the Sitting room after their lunch.
Hema looked at the top section wondering where Sana was working.
'Aunty agar aap uper chalna chahthi hain tho main le ker jatha hun' offered Rithul
'nahi its ok. Main use disturb nahi kerna chahthi hun' said Hema
'Hema ji waqay main , Sana nay hum sab ka dil jeet liya ha. Usnay ithna apna pan dikhaya hai ki hum tho bohot khushkismat hai. ' added Shamita.
'Bilkul ' agreed Neel
Rithul
looked as if he had gained the entire world.
'Thank
you ma !' he exclaimed happily
'Thum kiyun kush ho rahe ho?' asked Neel.
Rithul realized that in his excitement he had forgotten that he hadn't told them about his intentions.
'v..voh ..aam .. k. main jatha hun uper. Mujhe.. sana ki Zaroorat hogi…' stammered Rithul as he hastily got up to leave
'Kya? Kya keh rahe ho thum?' asked Hansa trying to stifle a laugh
'main abhi ayaa' said Rithul as he scrammed towards the stairs
Hansa looked at SHamita and Neel, and smiled. She then gave them an assuring nod and turned towards Hema , who had been looking at Rithul running upstairs, a small smile surfaced on her face.
'Hema ji aap tho samaj gayi hongi' asked Hansa now turning completely towards her
Hema nodded and looked down at the floor
'Tho , Neel.. thum bolo' said Hansa
'ji, Hema ji, hum chahthay hain ki Sana humaray ghar ki bahu banay' said Neel
Hema looked up. She had a smile on her face yet her eyes were
filled with worry.
'Ji bilkul. Mujhe tho Sana pehlay din hi bha gayi thi. Meray Rithul ke liye ussey achi larki ho hi nahi sakthi' added shamita
'Lekin' voiced Hema with a worrisome tone
She did not know how to react. So much had happened in the past week. Divorce, travel. She knew that Sana was tough but she did worry. Will Sana have to face the same fate as hers? Will she ever find the love and affection she deserved and had been deprived of for years?
Questions and doubts rose within her like tidal waves on the ocean.
'Aapko abhi kuch bhi kehnay ki zaroorat nahi hai. HUmnay bas apni ek chah rakhi hai aapkay saamnay. Aap sana sey baat kijiyega aur phir vichar kerkay humain bata dijiyega' said Hansa
Hema just nodded. Nothing she would say could come close to
what she was feeling. She had to talk to her daughter and see how she feels
about everything that had happened.
