‘Meri duniyaa hai tuzhme kahe…!’

‘Wake up Anshul. It’s 8:30, office nahi jaana kya aaj’ asked mom waking Anshul up. ‘Yes mom. Just 2 more minutes and I’ll be done’ he replied. Taking his ‘bike’ he left for the office. Some 2 kms apart from his office, his bike had a slow down and unfortunately he had to carry his bike with him. He saw a mechanic near the bus stop and he gave his bike to repair. ‘Bhaiyya please jara jaldi kijiye. I’m getting late for the office’ he muttered to the mechanic. ‘Engine ka problem hai. Thoda time lagega. Tab tak agar kuch kaam hoga aap who karlijie’ the mechanic answered.  Anshul saw a nearby ‘chai ki tapri’ and he stood drinking the cutting. Just while he was taking a sip of his cutting, his eyes feel on very  natural looking beautiful girl who was checking  her  watch for the timings. Anshul could feel a pull of gravity that every guy has for a beautiful girl. He was looking at her pink lips that moved with a smile with her cute danglings moving side by side as her head moved. She was dressed in a simple salwar-kameez which looked elegant on her. He was rather lost in observing her perfect features. She was simply so beautiful that he couldn’t move his eyes from her. Looking at her continously, he could observe his heart thumping in silence.

‘Oh bhaiyyaji! Aapki bike hogayee’ called the mechanic and Anshul had to leave a glance for a second. ‘Seriously? Itne jaldi?  Abhi toh diee thi? Meri chaii bhi khatam nahi huee’ he replied. ‘Bhaiyya shayad aapko office jaana tha’ the mechanic answered and gave him the keys. Giving him the amount of his work, Anshul rolled his eyes to check that girl again. But, she was missing. ‘Bus chalii gayee and ladki bhi! ’ the mechanic responded and he started laughing. He had no way then to take his bike and run for the office. Anshul after going to the office, was restless. He was restless because he wanted to meet that  same girl again. So, from the next day, he decided to travel by the same city bus which the girl boarded. ‘Fingers crossed. Please send that girl again in the same bus…Please bhagwan please please…’ he prayed and he boarded that same city bus.  Two stops later, the same girl that he wished for boarded the bus again. Again he started staring at her and her magical spell took him to the heaven. The girl initially had no guts to look at him. But, days after when she noticed him as a permanent passenger of the bus, even she started observing him coz of his good appearance and his charm. 

She used to catch the bus after the two stops he used to board and would leave the bus  before he used to leave. Anshul had no idea what she was doing or what was her profession. Yet he enjoyed looking at her and following her in the same manner. This became his daily routine and the time table continued. Resting comfortably at the bus seat, he would enjoy his journey with the girl, but didn’t have the guts to say something. One day, the girl gave him a pleasant smile and this attacked his heart. This same thing continued for fifteen days and now nearly both the hearts starting meeting and unspoken words flowed freely in the bus. ‘Baat toh bann hi gayee thi’. So, Anshul decided to confess his feelings this time. Then one day, he stepped out of the bus to that same route where the girl used to leave the bus. The girl had no hint that he was following her. So, she continued to proceed about half a kilometer by walking with her handbag and her simplicity. Anshul was still following this girl and as she entered a place, he was stunned to see the crowded mob,  the dodged area with red blemishes and the nightmares of the road. He was amazed to see how men were bargaining girls and girls; they were standing ready in all those attires and red-lipsticks. He saw the long queues where girls were waiting for their chances to come. This was a ‘brothel’. It had many bedchambers to obscure and conceal the waiting guests. Infact,  girls were rented for few hours and also for few days. He had no idea, where this girl brought him, but one thing was very sure that she had a dark secret running inside her blood. 

‘But, where did she go? I mean in the brothel? How can that be?’ and all sorts of questions started sheltering his mind. He waited for few more minutes but the girl didn’t return back and so Anshul decided to go back to his place. He was so shocked that he didn’t sleep that whole night and was just lost in that land which was different from his very own land.  Still, everything about her was fascinating him like her natural beauty and her simplicity. But, what about that road she took? Was that really dozing him or was he still in search of getting the truth behind this?  Coming up, the next part! Stay tuned  and till then keep reading…
