Salma and Aslam… part 6
Continued from part 5.
So when he told her in that grave voice enlacing her in his strong arms to run away with him and not to marry that man, Salma sobbed. Aslam was very serious and in his mind he already started planning where to go, how to stay and all that. And he asked “Will you come with me sweetheart? We will live very happily, I promise you to be a very good husband, a very nice father to our kids, and a strong family chief…. I will love you till you will be the oldest woman of the world…I will never leave you, I will be by your side till life part me away from you.” He said all that in a very serious tone and hard voice meaning all his words one by one. On hearing all that Salma wept more and more still holding him tightly, her arms surrounding his body, her head over his chest, his shirt wet with her tears, she lifted her head looking in his face and passing the palm of her hand over his cheek she said “Aslam, you are such a caring and loving person that I have never doubted that you will be the best husband I could ever get, I am certain that you will the best dad of the world, any woman will be the luckiest one to have you as life partner Aslam, but darling I am not destined to have those days in your company. I know my destiny had to know love through you only, you are the only man of my life, the other man will get a living corpse in me, my love is yours, my soul is yours sweetheart, but we can’t be together…..” And Aslam hit his forehead and said “Hey, ho! You are getting me nervous now! WHAT THE HELL ABOUT THAT BLOODY CHAP? WHEN YOU LOVE ME WHY ON EARTH YOU HAVE TO BE WITH HIM, LOOK, LOOK SALMA, I AM VERY SERIOUS! IT IS HIGH TIME YOU DECIDE!! YOU HAVE TO FORGET EVERYTHING BACK FOR SOMETIME, THEN LATER ALL WILL BE ALRIGHT AGAIN…. AT PRESENT YOUR FAMILY WILL HATE YOU, WE WILL MAY BE, BE IGNORED FOR SOMETIME, THEY WILL DISLIKE US FOR SOMEDAYS BECAUSE WE RAN AWAY, BUT YOU WILL SEE GRADUALLY THEY WILL ALL BE TOGETHER WITH US…. ONE DAY YOUR FATHER WILL WISH TO SEE HIS GRAND CHILDREN, AND WHEN HE WILL LEARN YOU HAVE GIVEN ME A DAUGHTER OR A SON, HE WILL WISH TO SEE… AND THAT IS THE WAY WE WILL ALL BE UNITED AGAIN…. BUT AT THIS MOMENT WE HAVE TO BE SELFISH FOR A WHILE… THIS IS BECAUSE THEY WONT UNDERSTAND OUR LOVE AT THIS MOMENT…THIS IS THE WAY OF LIFE... THIS HAS BEEN HAPPENING SINCE THE WORLD EVER EXISTED....”
Salma listened to him with passion but replied “My beloved Aslam, you are so perfect in all that you said my love, but you won’t understand my obligations. The day that I decided to see you and started going out with you I was already aware that this day will come... I should not have accepted even to talk with you! I had been selfish, I cheated you in a way it must be said, I so much wanted to tell you that I am already engaged! I once said it, but you did not believe, and you looked for the ring in my finger.... and I do not wear it as I did not consider that an engagement.... I was compelled to accept by my parents Aslam, but there is something more which I just can’t pronounce sweetheart, which hinders me to come with you... our love story ends here Aslam.... let’s go now, its nearly sunset, it will soon be dark here, do forgive me if you can my love, we wont see each other anymore, and I am very sorry for tomorrow, we have to cancel that meeting at our secret place....the whole of my life I will remember that place and those moments spent in your company.... lets go now love.”
Aslam got very angry and shouted with all force “what the hell!!What the hell!!” and he started weeping and talked meanwhile “ why? Why Salma? Please don’t do that to me! I love you too much, you are part of my life... I won’t be able to live without you baby, don’t say such things....” Tears rolled over his cheeks, Salma started crying again on seeing him so helpless and Aslam continued still within tears “Look baby, I have big dreams with you in my life, don’t get them shattered, I wish you to give me a child, I have already visualised you as the mother of my children, I have seen you cooking in our kitchen, I have found myself waking up by your side in the morning,I have seen your face to be the first i see when waking up every morning,“ he was nervously rubbing off the tears running non stop, his voice changed modulations with the cry, yet he continued describing his dreams, “I saw you waiting for me at the threshold in the evening when I return back from work, I found a list in my pocket which you gave me to buy things while returning from work, oh my God, oh God please listen to my prayers, hey Salma, WILL THIS PRAYER BE HEARD LIKE THE TRAFFIC JAM ONE? PLEASE TELL ME SALMA...ASK GOD TO ANSWER MY PRAYERS.” Salma burst into tears more than him on hearing the pleas with woes of Aslam.... Salma neared him, he pushed her, he was irritated, he was very angry, he did not know what to think, what to do! He felt his head aching, he felt dizzy, he wished to run, and he was behaving odd..... Salma went on crying seeing him that way and she knew he was too much affected by all that was happening......
She controlled herself, walked to him, he was leaning against a tree, his head looking at the sky, and she touched him, caressed his chest and then rubbed his cheek, dried his tears and said “Hush.... cool, cool down, control yourself, be strong....let’s walk slowly, we’ll be late...” he felt worn out, he walked with her, both were quiet, he cried without letting her see, she did same.... they walked aimlessly, more than a kilometre without saying a word.
On reaching the terminus, the street lights were on already, they got in the bus, sat together, and this day it was Salma who paid the fare. Aslam was sitting lifeless as though!..... And they did not talk at all till they reached Phoenix except he hardly articulated “are you going to work tomorrow?” in a very rough voice, he had shouted and cried so much that he could not recognize his voice! She said yes, and was getting up to alight when the bus stopped, Aslam did NOT GET DOWN. She told him to go home and have a sleep then he will feel better.
At home Aslam said no word to anybody. His elder brother also had learnt his matter through his mother. ........... He did not have dinner but went straight to bed and slept.
He woke up at midnight, took the bicycle and cycled to Salma’s place! He did several rounds near her house; he wished to get in and knock.... but did not. He instead went to Vivek’s place. Vivek is the friend who told Aslam that her name was Salma when he had asked to enquire. He lived 10 houses from Salma’s house. He was a man in the forties and was a Supervisor in the firm Aslam worked. He knew Aslam too well and was like a family member at his place. Vivek knew Aslam’s problem which took place three years ago as well! He had supported him all along that hard time.
He was shocked to see Aslam at his doorstep after midnight! He got him inside and Aslam started crying relating all that happened with Salma. Vivek was surprised to learn that Salam was engaged, he was not aware despite living there itself. He went to wake up his sister to ask. She came to join them in the lounge and Sanjana, (Vivek’s sister) explained that she got engaged two months ago and all happened silently, no people of the surrounding were invited, as it took place at night and that was because Salma’s father owed that man one million Rupees as he is a gambler and owed him since a long time back! And when he was not able to repay that man found Salma and asked to get married to her and he will forget those one million of rupees! Aslam was not at ease at all after learning all this! Sanjana had a beauty parlour and often received customers at her place in the nights! And she was the friend of Salma. So Salma had related her everything, but Vivek was not told so he was unaware of all that!
Aslam left their place after Vivek talked to him like a big brother brainwashing him about the matter. And Aslam requested Sanjana not to tell Salma about his visit and the words they talked.
The next morning, Salma and Aslam met in the bus, had some words and like usual they promised to see each other in the evening at Rose hill. Salma’s eyes were red, and Aslam had sore head. They had very difficult nights both of them. Their day also elapsed with much difficulty... he kept thinking about her only and tried to see if he could find any way out of that hell of a situation!!
In the evening they met and this time Aslam suggested that they go to the botanical garden. She accepted reluctantly...... but as soon as they were going to get in the taxi, some men neared them and Aslam was found caught among, about 10 men and was being beaten!! It was Javed, Salma’s brother and his friends. Salma got two hard slaps, was pulled and sent back to the bus stop. Javed addressed to Aslam, “So you are mister the gallant? You go out with my sister? You make her escape her job and you take her out? On Sundays you pretend to be working? And where the hell do you take her to work? You bloody bastard do you know that she is engaged and is soon to get married?” Aslam did not open the mouth. He kept quiet, they started beating him, he was pulled on the road, about 10 men over him, some kicking him with their boots on his belly, some hitting on his face, he defended himself the best he could, but our hero was not the Holywood or Bolywood superheroes, so he could not fight back 10 men alone.... when they left him, he was moaning with pain..... He was taken to hospital by the taxi he was hiring to go to the garden!
He was admitted as 3 ribs were broken and his lip had a cut and head had wounds with several blows.
He stayed in ward 5 for 10 days!
When he was discharged, he went to see Vivek and enquire about Salma, he was told that she was banned from leaving the house and going to work!
And she was to be getting married within 5 days!
