Loneliness(II)

"Sonu, aaj tum kahin bahar nahi jaoge"
"Mummy, lekin 4 baj gaye hain aur sabhi dost mera wait kar rahe honge"
"Nahi tum aaj cricket nahi kheloge,Monu ko ghar bula lo aur carrom khelo"
"Mummy,par aaj mera match hai!!"
"Beta,maine kaha na..aaj badal jodon se garaj raha hai aur baarish aane waali hai..
Bheengoge to bimaar ho jaoge"
Mummy comes close to me..moves her fingers in my hair and says "Mera achcha beta meri baat maan lo"
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I have just returned from office.Completely drenched.Entering the flat i found that there is no electricity.I light the candle and lay down on the bed.Its 9pm and am in no hurry to go to sleep as tommorrow is Saturday,so no office.I had my dinner a bit early today while returning from office.just for timepass i start sending messages to my friends.But suddenly the cell start showing BatteryLow warnigns so i had to stop messaging.Am getting bored,so i start my bike to get a cup of tea.
Some 3.5 kms from my Flat, there is one multiplex.In front of it there is one shop which is open till 4 am in the morning.
"Aslam bhai,ek cup chai milegi?"
"Jaroor"
This is the place which makes me nostalgic everytime i come over here.I used to come here at 3am during our 3rd semester when we spent sleeplees nights during exams.Apart from these there are many sweet memories attached to this shop..
But now I come to this place only in the late night or whenever i am alone..
Suddenly my phone rings..
"Kahan ho tum abhi?"
"Main abhi bahar hoon"
"Office se ghar nahi laute?"
"Nahi office se bahut pehle aa gaya tha,abhi chai peene nikala hoon"
"Itni aawaz kaisi aa rahi hai?"
"Baarish ho rahi hai aur badal bhi garaz rahe hain"
"Kitni baar samjhaya hai ki baarish mein ghar pe raha karo,Tumhe kutch samajh mein nahi aata hai"
"Arre Mummy,itna tension mat lo main thik hoon..bas abhi ghar jaa raha hoon"
"Haan jaldi ghar jao,Bike dheere-dheere chalana..Ghar jaa kar sar mein tel maalish kar lena.Warna shardi-jukaam ho jayega..Ghar ki khidkiyan band karke sona,Baarish ki hawa se tumhe fever ho jaata hai..Ho sake to doodh le lena..Doodh mein haldi daal kar pee lena..achcha rehta hai......"
"Are mummy,thik hai na tum kitna samjhati rehti ho"
"Haan ab to tu bada ho gaya hai,mere samjhane se koi fayda to hona nahi hai........"
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I return back home and open the window of my room.Its still raining outside.Raindrops are beating feverishly.I remember the words of Mummy but i dont know why but allowing the rain to run through my body gives me immense sensation.Rain is hitting on the railings of my balcony but i ignore her only to find that she gets angry.Playing with the rain makes me happy for the moment but i know its not long-lasting.
I remember one of the lines written by Gulzaar saab:

"Der tak baithe hue,Hum donone baarish dekhi,
Woh dikhati thi mujhe,taaron pe chalti hui boondein"
