Sunita aur Sunil ke rishte ko ab kuch mahine beet chuke the.
Ek subah jab Sunita uthti hai, toh achanak uski tabiyat kharab ho jaati hai. Uske pet mein dard hone lagta hai aur use ulti aane lagti hai. Yeh silsila kareeb do-teen din tak chalta hai. Sunita ghabra jaati hai. Uske periods bhi nahi hue the.
Woh maa se chupkar paas ke chemist se pregnancy test kit lekar aati hai. Test karne par result positive aata hai. Woh jaakar Sunil ko sab kuch batati hai.
Sunil Sunita se kehta hai, Sunita, kya tum sure ho? Kya tum waqai pregnant ho? Maine suna hai ki pregnancy test kit kabhi-kabhi galat bhi hoti hai. Mujhe lagta hai ki humein ek baar doctor ko dikha lena chahiye.
Sunita kehti hai, haan Sunil, main sure hoon kyunki maine do-teen baar pregnancy test kiya. Har baar result positive aaya. Na mere periods hue aur meri tabiyat bhi kharab ho jaati hai. Phir bhi agar tum kehte ho, toh humein doctor ke paas jaana chahiye.
Sunita kuch pal rukti hai aur phir kehti hai, lekin humein saavdhan rehna hoga, kyunki kaafi clinics mein log meri maa ko pehchante hain.
Darte-khabrate Sunil aur Sunita ek chhote se clinic mein jaate hain. Doctor Sunita ki pregnancy confirm kar dete hain.
Clinic se bahar nikalte waqt ek aurat Sunita ko dekh leti hai. Arey Sunita beta, tum yahan kya kar rahi ho? aurat poochti hai. Aunty, main apni friend ke saath aayi thi, woh usko chot lagi thi, toh main saath aa gayi, Sunita kehti hai. Aurat kuch pal Sunita aur Sunil ki aur dekhkar kehti hai, achha beta, phir Sunita aurat se poochti hai, waise aunty aap yahan?
Arey beta, main yahan kaam karti hoon. Maa se kehna kisi din main ghar aaungi.
Achha aunty main keh dungi, Sunita kehti hai. Bye beta aurat kehti hai. Bye aunty, yeh kehkar Sunita ghabrate hue wahan se nikal jaati hai.
Clinic se thodi door aane ke baad Sunita Sunil ki taraf dekhti hai. Sunil, tumne dekha ki aaj kya hua? Aise koi na koi kisi clinic mein Maa ko pehchanta hoga.
Ab main kya karun Sunil? Ab kya hoga?
Sunil uski taraf dekhta hai. Uske paas bhi Sunita ke sawaal ka koi aasaan jawab nahi tha. Dono kuch pal chup rahe. Sunita ke dimaag mein baar-baar wahi baat ghoom rahi thi agar us aunty ne Maa ko bata diya toh?
Ab tak pregnancy sirf Sunita aur Sunil ka raaz thi.
Lekin clinic ke bahar hui woh chhoti si mulaqat is raaz ko khatre ke aur kareeb le aayi thi.
English translation
Sunita and Sunil’s relationship had been going on for a few months now.
One morning, when Sunita wakes up she suddenly starts feeling unwell. Her stomach begins to hurt and she starts vomiting. This continues for about two or three days. Sunita becomes worried. Her period had not started either.
She secretly goes to a nearby chemist and buys a pregnancy test kit without telling her mother. When she takes the test, the result comes back positive. She goes and tells Sunil everything.
Sunil says to Sunita, Sunita, are you sure? Are you really pregnant? I’ve heard that pregnancy test kits can sometimes be wrong. I think we should see a doctor once to be sure.
Sunita says, yes Sunil I’m sure because I took the pregnancy test two or three times. Every time, the result came back positive. I haven’t had my period and I keep feeling unwell. But if you think we should, then we should go to a doctor. Sunita pauses for a few moments and then says, but we have to be careful because people at many clinics know my mother.
Nervous and frightened, Sunil and Sunita go to a small clinic. The doctor confirms Sunita’s pregnancy.
As they are leaving the clinic, a woman sees Sunita. Hey Sunita dear, what are you doing here? The woman asks.
Aunty, I came with my friend. He got hurt so I came with him Sunita says. The woman looks at Sunita and Sunil for a few moments and says, oh okay dear, then Sunita asks the woman, by the way, Aunty what are you doing here?
Actually dear, I work here. Tell your mother that I’ll come home one of these days. Okay Aunty I’ll tell mum Sunita says. Bye dear, the woman says. Bye, aunty saying this Sunita nervously leaves the place.
After walking some distance away from the clinic, Sunita looks at Sunil. Sunil, did you see what happened today? Someone or the other seems to know Mom at every clinic. What should I do now, Sunil? What is going to happen now?
Sunil looks at her. He also has no easy answer to Sunita’s questions. They both remain silent for a few moments.
The same thought keeps running through Sunita’s mind what if that aunty tells Mom?
Until now, the pregnancy had been a secret known only to Sunita and Sunil. But that brief encounter outside the clinic had brought their secret dangerously close to being exposed.
