Kiska Hai Tumko Intezaar

Possible hi nahi hai

About an hour earlier:

Sameer banged the door of his room shut and leaned against it. First thing he did was to call up Pandit.

'Idiot, is time kyon phone kiya?' He hissed into the phone the moment he heard Pandit's curious hello.

Matter of factly, Pandit stated, 'Wahan kya chal raha hai ye puchne ke liye. Jab drama abhi chalu hai toh kya main repeat telecast ka intezar karun? Chal jaldi bata kya ho raha hai? Kisi ko shak toh nahi hua? Naina pakka ache se apna role kar rahi hogi par tu gadbad kar sakta hai. Dekh, aankh, kaan sab khule rakhna. Koi naya panga mat khada kar dena.'

Frustrated at his long, yet almost correct assessment, Sameer muttered, 'Panga hote hote reh gaya.'

Pandit gasped, 'Kya kiya?'

Sameer rubbed his forehead as he paced the room, 'Yaar aadat nahi hai isliye ghar aane ke baad bhool hi gaya Naina saath hai. Mummy papa se milke seedha apne room mein aane laga.'

'Abey yaar tu bhi na.' Pandit seethed at the other end, 'Phir?'

'Phir kya, mummy ne aise ghoora jaise main pata nahi kya crime kar raha hun. Bahana banana pada ki charger lene jaa raha hun kyonki battery khatm ho gayi. Usi waqt tune phone kar diya. Papa Naina ke saamne kuch sunate isse pehle bhaaga wahan se.' Sameer explained.

'Aunty ko laga hoga Naina ko seedhe kamre mein le jaa raha hai.' Pandit teased but hearing Sameer's growl, asked with growing impatience, 'Yeh toh teri baat hui. Ab bata Naina ke liye sabka kya reaction tha? Use toh kuch nahi kaha na Dadaji ya uncle aunty ne?'

Sameer shrugged nonchalantly, 'Mujhe kya pata. Woh neeche hai aur main apne kamre mein.'

'Gadha hai kya tu?' Pandit shouted in his ear, 'Akele chod ke aa gaya? Abey uske liye kitna difficult hoga socha hai? Tu use lekar gaya hai toh kam se kam saath toh reh uske? Kahin ghabra ke sach bol diya toh?'

Lines of tension appeared on Sameer's forehead, 'Aisa karegi kya? Lekin usne toh paise liye hain acting karne ke, fir sach kaise bata sakti hai? Waise woh behenji kuch bhi kar sakti hai. Mujhe uspe bharosa karna hi nahi chaiye tha.'

Pandit quashed his doubts in firm voice, 'Naina ne haan ki hai toh itni asaani se apni baat se paltegi nahi. Mujhe pata hai, who peeche hatne walon mein se nahi hai. Dekh lena, teri girlfriend ka role aise nibhayegi ki tujhe doubt hoga kahin teri asli wali toh nahi hai.'

Sameer let out a sarcastic laugh, 'Mujhe... aur Naina ke liye aisa doubt... possible hi nahi hai. Use asli girlfriend banana se achha toh main sanyaas le lun. Babaji banke 'Om...om' bolta rahunga par Naina ko apne aaspaas bhi nahi fatakne dunga. Agar woh apna attitude...'

'Shaant gadadhari Bheem shaant.' Pandit interrupted his angry barrage, 'Dheere bol warna koi sun lega toh tere saare career choices pe The End lag jayega. Fir Dadaji tujhe babaji banne layak hi chodenge. Naina hi woh tinka hai jo teri doobti naiyya ka sahara hai.'

Sameer's frenzied outburst buzzed off instantly, 'Sahi keh raha hai tu. Dadaji apne iklaute pote ke liye itne zaalim ho jaynege maine kabhi socha bhi nahi tha. Upar se saare gharwale unka hi saath de rahe hain, jaise woh jo kar rahe hain bada nek kaam hai. Unki wajah se musibat Naina ko jhelna pad raha hai.'

From background, Sameer heard another voice, 'Kisse gappe lada raha hai Pandit?'

And then, Pandit's eager voice, 'Achha hua tu aa gaya Munna. Samjha Sameer ko ki Naina ke saath dhang se behave kare.'

'Tu Sameer se kyon baat kar raha hai is waqt.' Munna rebuked him as he snatched the phone and spoke urgently, 'Naina wapas chali gayi kya? Aaj toh ghar le jaane wala tha tu use? Change ho gaya kya program?'
