I always believe this whole world is like a hunter's web where people are waiting to hunt you. Everybody here is a wolf in human disguise. Though their hands may not be stained with blood, this so called world is also responsible for any wrong that happens to someone or any incident. They made you feel like worst showing some fake fu*cking sympathy.
Fu*king the hell!!
I am also not a saint. But I know my morals and values. I am also a part of this dark and terrifying world.
Terrifying!! Huh !! Not more than me .
Every damn , day my hands are stained with someone's blood. But What can I do ? They don't understand by words so I have to make my ways to deal with it.
" Wo kehte hai na laato ke bhoot baato se nahi mante ". But in my case
"Mai laato ke bhoot ko utarta bhi hu aur thikane lagata bhi hu"
But for my Mishti, I will always be someone who is not meant for this world.
I have always been a workaholic and reserved. I never ever had any girlfriend , fling and one night stand in my entire life. I always found this waste of time. No doubt, I got thousands of proposal but none of them were geniune one. Some of them only want one night stand with me while some of them only interested in money.
Honestly talking, I don't believe love and all. No one make me loose my sanity but now my misthi is exception. Her one look got shiver down my spine. I just want to take her in my arms and cherish her whole life. She is pure soul.
Seeing her standing there with her eyelids lowered, my breath stopped. I could only see my Mishti and no one else. Wearing yellow anarkali suit radiating light like the sun's rays.
I was lost in my thoughts when I heard someone clearing their throat suddenly. I snapped out of dream and looked at my family who was giving me a teasing smile.
Then Realisation hit me, I coughed and started looking around to hide my embarrassment. I know why, everyone were amused to see the this kind of behaviour of mine.
But what can I do ? My misthi will make me go insane. Ufff!!
"Bhai, sharam nahi aati ladki tarate hue, aapki hi hai." I Heard Shivank teasing voice.
" Do you want to spend sleepless night in office ?" I asked him out of irritation. Hearing my question he immediately went silent knowing what I am capable of. And her again I was lost in my misthi.
Author pov:-
"Misthi beta , aap khadi kyu hai aaye baithe humare pass " dadi said to misthi in very calm tone.
As soon as dadi said this, misthi raised her head and started looking at dadi with widened eyes in shock.
Fear was evident in her eyes, so she asked " pa...r kyu...? Hu...m..se kuch...ga...lti h..ui h..ai k....ya??"
" Nahi beta ji, aapse koi galti nahi hui , aap aaye baithe please. " Maa said in her polite tone to make her comfortable.
She was hesitant but nodded her head and take the seat between maa and dadi.
"Beta Aap ghabraye mat. Hum yaha aapko nuksan pahuchane ke maksad se nahi aaye hai."
Maa assured her with gentle smile.
"Ji..ni huk...um ra...ni sa" misthi calm down bit and respond with hesitant yet gentleness.
" Beta hum yaha aapka haath magne aaye hai apne bete ekaksh ke liye" dadi sa said.
Hearing her words both misthi and akshat head snapped in her direction. Shock was evident in their faces. They couldn't believe what he had just heard.
" Aaj ache se lagta hai neend nahi Puri Hui hai eslia khade khade sapne dekh raha hu" akshat mumbled in low voice yet heard by all.
"Hukum sa jara mujhe pinch karna"
He ordered ekaksh. Hearing this tone of akshat, Everyone started looking at him as if they had seen a ghost. Is he not afraid of king of Rajasthan? Everyone there started fearing that Ekaksh might scold him because they were well aware of his anger where as ekaksh was calm , there was no hint of anger in his face instead he was beliwered and amused by his brother in law. He had a small and gentle smile in his face.
" Sure saale saheb" saying this he pinched akshat slightly.
"Ouch" akshat hissed and stared rubbing the area where ekaksh pinched.
"Ye to sach hai re baba. Matlab aap sach mai mere didu ke husband banoge aur mere jiju. Eska matlab aap hume es jalad taiji se bhi bachaoge right? Wow, Aaj kisiki shakal dekhi thi maine ofcourse didu ki , di.....
He started blabbered nonsense but stopped when he recieved intensified glare from his didu then suddenly Realisation hit him what he had done. He quickly apologised.
"S..orry huk...um sa"
"Koi baat nahi bhabhi ke bhai. Hota hai. " Shivank assured to akshat in fun way to ease his tension. Hearing this akshat calm down bit and sigh with relief.
But there was some who was still in shock and sitting dumbfounded. Who were none other than our misthi. Her mind went blank. She was still processing the words which she heard while ago. How can this be possible? Marriage? Me? How? King of rajasthan wants to marry girl like me? Why? Does he know that I am not a simple girl. I have many blemishes.
She raised her head and looked at Ekaksh and found that he was looking at her.
"I know misthi what are you thinking right now. I know everything about you still I am here for you not out of pity but out of love misthi. You are pure soul. You are not tainted. Whatever happened it wasn't your fault. Don't ever doubt yourself baby. I always cherished you throughout life. And don't worry everyone has to pay who had done wrong with you. I will make them pay.
Saying this last sentence he clenched his jaw.
" Mom, I want to talk to misthi alone only if misthi is comfortable . Can I?" Ekaksh said and looking towards misthi.
Sumitra ji nodded her head and asked misthi " beta will you ?
Misthi was hesitant first but nodded her head and stand up. She looked towards Ekaksh and gesture him to follow her. Ekaksh nodded his nodded his head in response and follow her to the garden.
___________________________
After coming out into the garden, Mishti stopped at some distance.
There was an odd silence between the two. While Mishti was thinking about what to say, she was scared of him too whereas Ekaksh was just lost in her , he was just try to read her expression.
After some time, Mishti decided to broke the silence with a lot of courage, she turned towards Ekaksh with lowering her eyelid asked in low voice.
" Huk...um sa a..p b..ura na maa...ne to aap..se ek baa...t puc..he?"
"First I would like you to look into my eyes, be confident and ask" ekaksh said her in gentle yet firm voice.
Hearing him, she slowly raised her head and look into him and ask in her soft voice
" Hukum hum aapse ek sawal puchna chahte hai?
" Puchiye" ekaksh respond in soft voice which shocked misthi little but she composed herself.
" Aa..p ha..Mari....jaise lad..ki se shaadi kyu karna cha...the hai ?
Hum mai bohot daag hai? Hu..m rajasthan ki Rani sa banane laya...k na...hi hai ." Her throat choked as she said this. Tears also started flowing from the eyes.
Seeing her tears, Ekaksh heart was breaking into pieces. He did not like Mishti saying wrong things about herself. He felt like taking Mishti into his arms immediately and keeping quiet from the whole world but he control himself. He calm down himself and moved forward and wiped Mishti's tears and said looking into her eyes
" First of all , hume bilkul pasand nahi ki aap apne bare kuch bhi galat kahe. Ye haq hum kisi ko nahi denge khud aapko bhi. Aur rahi bat daag aur deserving ki to aapse behtar humari aardhagini aur rajasthan ki Rani sa koi ho bhi nahi sakta. Chand mai bhi daag hote hai phir bhi log usse kitna khubsurat mante hai waise hi humare liye aap ganga ki tarah pavitra hai. Humare liye aap devi ka roop hai jinhe hum zindagi bhar pujna chahte hai.
Hume bas aap chahiye, Na aapse Jada kuch Na aapse Kam kuch.
