Mahina ho gaya Rohit aapne Mama-mami ke ghar mein rehte hoye. Rohit aur uski mami ki closeness badhti ja rahi thi. Sab Vamika aur mama subah jate. Vamika evening mein aati aur mama raat ko. Aur Rohit afternoon mein hi ghar aa jata. Dono ghar pe akele hote. Sath lunch karte, aur evening ki chai peete. Vamika bhi Rohit se bohot close ho gayi.

Jitna pyar Mama ne Vamika ko nhi kiya utne Rohit usse pamper karta aur pyaar karta. Mami ko bhi Rohit ke sath time spend karna pasand tha.

Shaadi ke itne saalo mein usse kabhi aisi safe and secure wali feeling nhi aayi. But Rohit ke sath usse ek alag hi affection feel hua.

Dheere dheere woh kareeb aane lage hai. Issi tarah ek dupahar mein jab Rohit ghar aaya toh usne dekha, mami kahi nazar nhi aa rahi thi.

Usne unhe pukara but koi jawab nhi aaya. Usse thoda sak hua kyunki ghar ka darwaja khula tha. Isiliye usne mami ko har jagah dhunda aur finally usse Mami aapne bedroom mein dikhi but woh ro rahi thi.

Rohit ko thoda hesitate hua, but phir bhi woh Mami ke pass gaya aur unke shoulder par hath rakha.

" Mami? " Rohit ne softly unko pukara.

" Kya hua, aap ro kyu rahi ho? " Usne pucha.

" Kuch nhi Rohit, bas roz ka hai. " Unhone kaha.

" Dukh batne ne kaam hota hai, aap aapna nhi samjhti mujhe? " He asked.

" Tumhare Mama, mere har aansu ki wajah wahi insaan hai. " Mami rone lagi.

" But Mama ne kiya kya hai? " Rohit ne pucha.

" Shaak, har wakt shaak, har baat pe shaak. Na khushi mili, na paise, meri zindagi barbaad ho gayi tumhare Mama se shaadi karke. " She said.

" Par phir aapne unse shaadi kyuki? " Rohit ne curiosity se pucha.

" I was forced too, Mama government employee joh hai tumhare.. Isiliye 17 saal ki umar mein 35 saal ke buddhe se shaadi karwa di gharwalo ne. Baachi thi mein. " She hugged Rohit and start to cry on his shoulder.

Rohit could feel his biner through his pants. Usne aapne hand mami ke shoulder par rakhe aur ek haath se unki pit ko rub karne laga.

" Rohit aaj bhi khush nhi hu mein. " She said and snuggled into his chest.

" Mansik-sharirik koi shukh nhi mila mujhe. " Rohit gulps hearing that.

"Mein aapko dono de sakta hu. " Rohit ne emotions mein beh ke bol diya aur tabhi mami ne usse hug karna chod diya and Rohit ko thappad maara.

" Kya bol rahe ho tum? " She screamed.

" I... I.. Am.. I.. Am.. Sorry.. Mera woh matlab nhi tha. " Usne explain karne ki koshish ki but mami kuch samjhen ke liye taiyar nhi thi.

" Jao waha se, aapna muh mat dikhana mujhe. " Rohit se mami ka gusse se bara face dikha aur usse pata chal gaya ki explain karne ka koi faida nhi toh woh chupchaap chala gaya.

Rohit dara hua tha ki kahi mami yeh sab Mama ko na bata de kyunki agar mami ne Mama ko bata diya toh Rohit ke liye bohot problems khadi ho jaayegi.

Shaam ko jab Mama ghar aaye toh Rohit unko avoid kar raha tha usse laga Mami sab kuch bata deti aur usse yeh ghar chodna hoga. But usne jaisa socha waisa bilkul nhi hua. Instead mami ka behavior bilkul normal tha.

Raat ko khana khate wakt bhi mami chup thi. Rohit ne dinner table pe kuch nhi kaha aur khana hote hi woh room mein chala gaya. Overthinking karte huye usse neend nhi aayi.
