Part 8
Kunal: Ye dekho, chachu aapke liye kya laaye hain..
Ishani & Anokhi : Wow, chachu chocolates!! Thank you...
Both the girls went away happily with their gift after kissing Kunal. Meanwhile Kunal's tea arrived. He took the cup from Seema and took a sip of the hot tea. He instantly recognized its taste. "Ye chai toh... Siddhi ki adrak wali chai?", he thought to himself and then took another sip just to make sure that he was correct. This time he had no doubt. He stood up and turned towards Seema who was working in the kitchen.
Kunal: Seema, ye chai kisne banai hai?
Seema: Maine banai hai bhaiya. Kyun?
Kunal: Nahi woh..
Kunal continued drinking his tea confused.
Kunal: Chai pakka tune hi banai hai? Aisa lag toh nahi raha...
Just then Siddhi came in the hall. Kunal and Seema looked towards her.
Siddhi: Kya hua, aap dono mujhe aise kyun dekh rahe ho?
Seema was in her usual mood of teasing SiNal.
Seema: (coming out from the kitchen) Nahi, Siddhi kuchh nahi. woh Kunal bhaiya hain na, baar baar poochh rahe hain ki chai kisne banai hai.
Siddhi: Kyun kya hua? Theek nahi bani kya?
Seema: Achha ye baat hai. Laiye bhaiya, main dusri bana lati hoon.
Seema almost took the cup away from Kunal when he pulled his hands back.
Kunal: Maine aisa kab kaha? Chai bahut achhi bani hai. Main toh bas ye keh raha tha ki ye chai Siddhi ne banai hai. Bilkul waisi jaisi ye pehle banati thi.
A wide smile covered Siddhi's face as soon as she got the compliment.
Seema: (started laughing) Haan bhaiya, maine nahi banai. Ye chai Siddhi ne banai hai. Uska phone aa gaya tha isliye main lekar aa gayi..
Kunal: Dekha, Kaha tha na maine.!
Seema: (coming out from the kitchen) Waise bhaiya, ab aap apni patni ke haath ki bani huyi cheez pehchan bhi lete hain aur tareef bhi karte hain. Kya baat hai!!
Kunal was lost for words. He headed towards his room. Seema now went near Siddhi. Siddhi tried to hide her smile and she too went inside without giving any chance to Seema to tease her.
Kunal had just finished enjoying his tea sitting on the half berth when Siddhi entered the room along with his bag in her hand. She was wearing her apple green sari and a small pendant in her neck. Kunal had not noticed her outside but today she looked absolutely fine and energetic the way she used to be earlier.
Siddhi: Kunal, maine pura room aaj hi rearrange kia tha aur aapne fir se sab idhar udhar karna shuru kar dia..
Kunal looked around him. Yes, the room was looking much cleaner and ordered. Though he won't admit it in front of Siddhi, but he really had a hard time keeping his things in place all these days.
Kunal: Kya, tumne rearrange kia? Ab toh mujhe fir se bahut problem hogi. Koi bhi samaan apni sahi jagah par nahi milega. Aur kya keh rahi thi tum? Main samaan idhar udhar karta hun?
Siddhi: Haan, aur kya! Dekhiye ye aapka bag jo aap bahaar chhod aaye the. (She kept his bag on the table) And this empty tea cup, ise kitchen mein hona chahiye, yahan nahi.. (She took up the cup from the half berth and turned to leave)
Kunal: Siddhi, waise tum ye sab kyun kar rahi ho? You should take rest.
Siddhi: Main ab theek hun Kunal. Kitne din rest karungi. Aaj kitni mushkil se Seema Bhabhi ko manaya ki mujhe thoda kaam karne dein. Aur ab aap.. Aap logon ka bas chale toh mujhe room mein hi band kar dein.
She left the room to help Seema in dinner preparations.
After dinner all went to their respective rooms and so did SiNal. Kunal was going through a file while Siddhi sat down on the bed reading some book. She got distracted and started looking at Kunal who was engrossed in his file. He looked a bit disturbed.
Siddhi: Kya hua Kunal? Aap pareshan lag rahe ho?
Kunal: Haan Siddhi, woh ek case history dekh raha tha. Kuchh ajeeb hai.
Siddhi: Matlab?
Kunal: Wo aaj mujhe Rishabh Shekhawat ne milne ke liye jail bulaya tha.
Siddhi: Wahi Rishabh Shekhawat jinhe army se expel kar diya gaya tha kyunki unhone apne hi senior Mr. Rathod ka murder kiya tha?
Kunal: Haan wahi.
Siddhi: Par uss case mein toh Rishabh ko already guilty prove karke court ne verdict de diya hai na, toh..
Kunal: Haan, par Rishabh case reopen karana chahta hai, aur chahta hai ki uska case main defend karoon. Toh main bas yahi case history dekh raha tha. Saare evidences Rishabh ke against hain. In fact, ek video clip bhi hai jismein saaf dikh raha hai ki Rishabh ne hi Mr. Rathod ko shoot kia tha. Magar Rishabh se milke aisa lagta nahi hai ki woh aisa kuchh kar sakta hai. He seems absolutely patriotic and sincere towards his duty. Samajh nahi aa raha ki case lu ya nahi.
Siddhi: Kunal aap wo evidences dekh rahe ho jinke basis par unhe guilty prove kia gaya. Ye toh sab unke against hi hongein. Magar agar aapko Rishabh ki baaton se lag raha hai ki woh innocent hain toh aapko ek baar apni tarah se investigate karke dekh lena chahiye.
Kunal: Haan dekhta hoon ki main kya kar sakta hoon.
He closed his file and lied down on his side of the bed. Siddhi switched off the lights, both wished good night to each other and fell asleep.
Kunal left early next morning while Siddhi kept herself busy in helping Seema in the household chores. In the evening Raveena and Vikram came home. While Vikram and all the others were sitting in the living hall, Raveena took Siddhi inside to talk to her.
Raveena: Aap kaise ho bhabhi?
Siddhi (indifferently): Theek hoon.
Raveena: Mujhe pata hai bhabhi aap mujhse naraz ho. Jo bhi kuchh aapke saath hua usmein kahin na kahin main bhi involved hoon. Pehle bhi ek baar maine ghar se Nisha ke case ka evidence churaya tha aur uske liye bhaiya ne aapko blame kia tha aur uske baad maine phir se bhaiya ke case ki cd churayi. But bhabhi, believe me jab mujhe sach pata lage tab main uss cd ko wapas le aayi thi. I'm really sorry bhabhi.
Siddhi was still trying to connect all the pieces of new information just provided by Raveena when Kunal entered...
