"Hume dhamki de rahe hai huh (tauntingly) Agar itni power hai toh Anjali ko insaaf kyun nhi dila paye..?" She suddenly asked him. His angry eyes turn into guilty ones. "Ab boliye kyun nhi dila paye apni Anjali ko insaaf, woh bechari mar gayi jhoothi ummeed mein aur aap kuch nhi kar paye...!" She taunted him with anger. He lefts her hand and falls on his knees helplessly.

"Bolo Anubhav Singh kyun apni Anjali ko insaaf nhi dila paye...kyun..??" She roared with anger.

"Kyunki agar hum unke khilaaf jaate toh woh log Anika aur Arnav ko bhi maar dete...!" He cried out in pain, guilt and helplessness. She looks at him with shock. "Tumhe kya lagta hai humne koshish nhi ki...bahot koshish ki aur aaj bhi kar rahe hai par yeh kalyug hai yahan achha hona hi insaan ki sabse badi galti hai..!" He said blankly.

Haseena kneel down in front him and then holds his face between her palms.

"Achha hona galat nhi hai..sidha hona galat hai Anubhav, jo log gaali ke aadi hote hai woh pyaar se nhi samjhte..!" She said softly.

He looks at her surprisingly. "Tum humse itne pyaar se kyun baat kar rahi ho aur tumhe kaise pata yeh sab...?" He asked suspiciously.

"Maa ne bataya...!" She answered calmly. "Matlab tum sab janti ho Anjali ke baare mein?" "Haan sab jante hai yeh bhi ki Anjali aapki judwa behan hai...!" She answered honestly. He looks at her in shock. "Toh phir abhi jo tum kah rahi thi woh sab kya tha...?" He asked. "Natak...!"

"Par kyun?" He asked. "Waqt aane dijiye sab bata denge...!" She said with a smile. "Par...sshhhh (she puts her finger on his lips) aksar sawaalon ko kuch der na puchhna hi theek rehta hai...!" She said calmly.

He wants to ask but he remains silent when he saw her eyes which were looking behind him but he could clearly see through the mirror that there is no one behind him.

A few moments later....

"Kya hua Haseena tum itni pareshaan kyu lag rahi ho?" Maa asked worriedly. "Kuch nhi maa ji bas aise hi soch rahe hai ki hamare jaane ke baad Anika aur Arnav ko kitna bura lagega..!"

"Bura toh lagega par jab tum sab sahi kar dogi toh sach mein Anu unke liye unki maa le aayega...!" Maa said with a smile, hopping for best.

"Ganga maiyan unhe sach mein ek achhi maa de aur Anubhav ji ko ek achhi Jeevansathi....!" She said with a smile while her eyes are still fixed on her new family.

"Tumhe Anu pasand aa gya hai kya?" Maa asked as she noticed her gaze. Haseena turns her gaze to maa and smiles softly. "Nhi...hume in sabki anumati nhi hai...!" She said with a smile. "Par kuch din pehle tumne jo kiya uska kya?" Maa asked. "Hamare karya ka hissa tha aur waise bhi Anjali ko mukti dilane ke baad na hum aapko jaante aur na aap hume..hamara koi rishta nhi rahega is ghar se aur aap logon se...!" She said with heavy heart but a smile on her lips.

"Aisa kyun bol rahi ho tum beti jaisi ho hamare liye...!" Maa caressed her hair. Haseena smiles softly. "Yaad hai na Bau ji ne kya kaha tha aapse jab aao humse milne aayi thi...?" She said questioningly. Maa nodded, remembering the day when she had met Haseena.

One month Ago... 🌒

"Guru ji aap hi bataiye hum kya kare, hamari har koshish bekar hoti ja rahi hai...kabhi Anu mana kar deta hai shaadi ke liye toh kabhi achhi khasi ladki achank se rishta na karke chali jati hai...!" Maa told about her problems to the Maha Guru of a monastery.

"Aapke putra ki kundli chahiye hume..!" MG said calmly. Maa gives him Anubhav's Kundali. He calculates and read all the planets and constellations and then says "vivah yog toh hai aapke putra ke kundali mein par vivah mein ek badha hai...!"

"Kaun si badha Guru ji..?" Maa asked worriedly. "Woh jo aapke Putra ke saath hi aapke garbh mein rahi par is sansar mein nhi rah payi.....!" He said calmly.

"Anjali...par woh toh...Mar chuki hai (he interrupts and says) jante hai par mrityu sirf shareer ki hoti hai aatma ki nhi..!"

"Aapka matlab hai Anjali ki aatma Anu ki shaadi hone mein badha hai?" Maa asked. "Nhi...ek maa ka prem aapke bete ke bhavishya ke liye badha hai..!"

"Main kuch samjhi nhi?" "Anjali mrityu ke baad bhi apne sansarik rishte aur uske moh se nhi nikal payi hai...woh apne bacchon ke liye aaj bhi har pal unke saath hai...aur jab bhi Anubhav ke rishte ki baat aap karti hai toh woh har baar kuch na kuch karke rishte ko tod deti hai...!" Guru Ji explained everything.

"Par aisa karke kya milega use aur woh toh Anu se itna pyaar karti hai woh kyu apne bhai ka ghar nhi basne dena chahegi...? " Maa asked worriedly. "Dar bahot buri cheej hoti hai Devaki ji..Anjali ko dar hai ki shayad vivah ke baad aapka putra bacchon par dhyan na de...!"

"Toh phir ab main kya karu? Anjali ko kaise samjhaye aur kaise ehsaas dilaye ki Anu kabhi Anika aur Arnav ke saath nainsaafi nhi karega..!"

"Ek tarika hai...par dhyaan rahe ki Anjali ko gyat na ho ki aap yojana mein shaamil hai kyunki use pata chala toh pareshaani ho sakti hai..!" Guru Ji said. "Aap yojana bataiye..!" Maa said as she is ready for every situation.

"Haseena...!" Guru Ji calls out Haseena. "Aayi Bau Ji..!" A melodious but chirping voice answers and within seconds Haseena comes to him with a smile. Maa looks at her with a smile and is lost seeing the peace on her face.

"Yeh meri dharm Putri Haseena hai...yeh aapki sahayata karegi..!" Guru Ji said. "Yeh kaise?" Maa asked. "Hum ise samsya bata denge yeh hal nikal kar aapke ghar par pahuch jayegi par yaad rahe aap isse pehle hi mil chuki hai yeh kisi ko pata na chale..!" Guru Ji said, while Haseena looks at him with a smile.

"Par yeh...(cuts of by Guru Ji) humne ise sirf beti mana nhi hai balki ise woh sari shiksha di hai jo hamare paas hai...yeh aapki samsya ko hal bhi karegi aur agar samsya hamari kalpna se badi huyi toh yeh aap sabki usse raksha bhi karegi.. !" Guru Ji said with confident.

"Jaisi aapki aagya...!" Maa said with a smile but in her heart she is still worried. "Aur haan dhyan rahe ki yeh sirf wahan aap logon ki sahayata ke liye jayegi....rishta na jode aap log..!" He warned as he already sensed something. Maa nodded.

★★ Story Interrupts ★★

"Oh toh Anubhav ki maa lekar aayi thi Haseena ko..!" Ambi interrupted.

"Par Guru Ji ne aisa kyun kaha ki Haseena se rishta na jode...!" Shruti said questioningly.

"Shayad koi rule ho math ka..!" Kusum answered.

"Khair jo bhi story abhi achhe mod par hai...ab finally pata chal jayega ki kya hai Anjali aur Haseena ko uske baare mein kaisa pata chala...!" Ambi said smiling.

"Haan, Kusum jaldi story puri kar...!" Shruti added.

Kusum glares at them and then starts reading.....

★★Back to story★★

Present Time 🌒

"Haseena....!" Anubhav calls her sweetly for the first time. She turns towards him with surprising expression. "Aapne hume bulaaya woh bhi naam se..hume sach mein" She said dramatically. "Haan tumhara naam hi Haseena hai is ghar mein...!"

"Woh toh pichhale ek mahine se hai par aaj tak aap hume..aye ladki karke hi bulate the...ab kya hua..?" She asked with an innocent face but in teasing tone. "Hume janana hai ki tum sab janti thi phir bhi thodi der pehle woh sab kyun kaha tumne aur Anjali ke saath jo hua woh sirf hum jante hai...maa nhi...!" He said in questioning tone.

"Hamare bau Ji kehte hai..jiska man pavitra hota hai woh dusre ke man ki baat aankhon se padh leta hai aur hamara man toh Ganga maiyan ki tarah hi pavitra hai...isliye humne bhi aapki aankhon ko padh liya...!" She said with a smile and started arranging her cupboard.

"Tumhare bau Ji (taunting) khair unhe chhodo aur sach batao tumhe kaise pata woh sab..?" He asked curiously. "Bas jaan liya aakhir sach ki roshni jhooth ke andhere mein kab tak dabbi rehti...!" She said while folding the clothes.

"Tum sidhe sidhe jawab dena kab sikhogi..!" He irritatedly grabbed her hand and said. "Aise kalai na pakdiye hamari warna nishan rah gya toh log galat samjh lenge..!" She said with a mischievous smile. He looks at her hand and twists it behind her, pulling her more into him. "Sochne do logon ko waise bhi pati patni hai toh jyada fark nhi padega..!" He said huskily with same expression. She gets surprised for a moment and looks at him.

"Chhodiye hume (wriggling to free herself) dekhiye abhi bacche aa jayenge...achha thodi lagega yeh sab..!" She tries to trap him in her words.

"Bacche so chuke hai apne room mein ab tumhare paas sirf do raaste hai ya toh sach batao ya phir aaj hum tumhe puri tarah se apni patni bana lete hai..!" He tucked her loose hair behind her ears. She gulped down with fear.

"Aa..aap...aisa...kuch nhi..karenge..!" She fumbles as their proximity is affecting her. "Kyu nhi karenge..tum toh kab se taiyar ho aur us din kiss (rubs his thump on her mole, she shuts her eyelashes) bhi toh kiya...!" He said with an ear to ear smile. "Woh..woh...abhi...Sach bol do (he whispers huskily) woh darasal...(she stops and quickly opens her eyes when she feels someone around them)"

"Bolo..!" He said. She took glances at him and suddenly she hugged him. "Kya hua...?" He asked confusingly. She broke the hug. "Aap bahot achhe hai isliye hum aapko kuch dena chahte hai...!" She took out a locket from her neck and tied it around his neck.

"Yeh kya hai? Aur mujhe kyun pehanya?" He asked angrily looking at the locket. "Aapne pehli baar hume naam se woh bhi pyaar se bulaya bas us khushi mein..!" She said with a smile.

"Maine aur tumhe pyaar se bulaya..pagal ho gayi ho...!" He taunted her. "Haan aapke prem mein pagal hai hum...!" She said dramatically. "Shut up...!" He walks out of the room, she smiles looking at him but suddenly a fruit knife attacks her but she catches it before it can harm her while her eyes are still fixed on the door.

She turns her gaze in the direction the knife came from. "Man ke haare haar hai aur man ke jeete jeet....!" She said with a smile but suddenly someone grabbed her neck and pinned her on the wall.

"Tujhe bola tha na chup chaap chali ja par tu bina wajah marne par tuli hai...!" A voice echoes in the room. "Arey baat *cough* saans lene do...!" Haseena said in a calm voice but she was gasping for breath. "Tujhe saans lene doon (grip tighten on Haseena's neck) taki tu phir Anu ko mujhse bacha le...!" The voice echoes angrily. Haseena looks at the black aura.

"Bhai hai tumhare...tum kaise unhe maar sakti ho...!" Haseena said trying to catch her breath. "Uski wajah se meri maut huyi hai...main aise use nhi chhod sakti..!"

"Aadha sach zahar se bhi jyada khatarnaak hota hai...aur tum bhi sirf aadhe sach ko pura sach samjh kar apne bhai ki zindagi barbaad kar rahi ho..!" Haseena said with courage, gasping for oxygen. Suddenly the grip gets tighter on her neck, and her face turns pale and her eyes pop out.

"Mere bacchon ne tujhe maa bola hai isliye tujhe aakhiri mauka de rahi hoon chali ja yahan se warna woh haal karungi ki puri zindagi pachhtate rahegi...!" Anjali warns her.

"Jaise tum pachata rahi ho...!" Haseena taunted her with a smile. Anjali angrily throw her on the floor. "Tujhe pata kaise chala mere baare mein itna kuch...?" She asked Haseena. Haseena smiles and sits properly on the floor with attitude.

"Haseena...Haseena naam hai hamara aur hamare bau ji kehte hai ki hum aatma ko mehsoos karke uska ateet jaan lete hai aur tum toh hamare andar aakar gyi ho...!" She said with a smile and wipped the blood from the edge of her lips. "Tujhe dar nhi lagta mujhse...mujhe ek second nhi lagega teri kahani khatm karne mein...!" "Hoyihi soyi jo Ram rachi rakha...!" Haseena replied with a smile.

"Tum...(she pauses as the door opens) Mumma...!" Anika hugged Haseena. "Kya hua bacche?" Haseena asked, caressing Anika's back. "Bura sapna dekha...!" She said clinching more. Haseena looks at the black aura aka Anjali and smiles at her. "Sapna tha bacche...bhool jao...!" She kissed Anika's forehead. "I love you mumma...!" Anika kissed Haseena's cheeks and hugged her. Haseena smiled.
