Kripa: pehle Sujal ki kyunki shopping kartehai kyunki Kashish ko pura din lagta hai..........

Kashish: Kripaaaaaa...........

Woh sab milke us shop mein jaate hain aur Kashish ke liye joda dekhne lagte hai.............

Kripa: to sujal batao bhi tumhe kaun sa joda pasand hai........kyunki aaj to tumhari pasand hai to..........

Sujal ko ek lal rang ka joda bohat pasand aata hai...

Sujal: Angad woh kaisa hai............

Angad: arre wah,kya zabardast joda pasand kiya tumne...ek baar Kashish ko to dikhado...

Sujal: tu zarra pooch ke aana...

Angad: kyun..tuje puchne me kya problem hai?...Ab chal...

Sujal takes the wedding dress to Kashish who was stood with Kripa...

Sujal: yeh....yeh wala aapko pasand hai?

Kashish: hmmm.........

Kripa: pasand hai to tum try karke dekh lo..........

Kashish: nahi thik hi hoga........

Sujal: ek baar karke dekh lijiye...thik na lage to koi aur le lenge..........

Kashish bina kuch kahe woh dress leke trail room me chali jati hai jaha pe yeh teeno bahar khade Kashish ka intzaar kar rahe hote hai........jab Kashish woh joda pehen ke bahar aati hai aur sab use dekhte hi reh jate hai.........Kashish bina kuch kahe wapas jane lagti hai jab Kripa use rokti hai............

Kripa: pehle hume puri tarah se dekhne to de ki hamari dulhan kaisi lag rahi hai..........

Kashish: sab ghur ghur ke dekh rahe hai..........

Angad: ab ghur ghur ke nahin dekhenge tho kya karenge...Is jode mein tum bohat achi lag rahi ho...kyun Sujal.........

Angad nudges him and he clears his throat..

Kripa: sirf achcha..........

Kashish: bahot achcha..........ab main change karke aati hoon.........

Kripa: haa.........

Angad: chalo Kashish...ab tum zarra apni pasand to bata do...........

Kashish just noddes her head in no.........

Angad: kya hua?..kuch pasand karliya kya..............

Kripa: nahi is shop me Kashish ko kuch pasand nahi........

Angad: to chalo dusri me chalte hain...

They all leave and go into another shop...

Angad: Kashish,yahan pe dekh lo..............

Kashish points a sherwani to Kashish..........

Kripa: oh woh wali......not bad Kashish......sirf dusri shop......

Kashish just lowers her eyes.........

Angad: yahaan kuch baat banni.................

Kripa: Sujal ek baat to hai..........aate hi Kashish ko jaldi se kaise shopping karte hai woh shikha diya...........

Sujal just smiles at her and looks at Kashish...

Sujal: haa...achchi hai....dijiye main pack karwa leta hoon...

Angad: Oye...pehle try to karle...

Sujal: Angad maine kaha na muje pasand hai...

Kashish looks at Kripa and Kripa understands..............

Kripa: ab Kashish to kuch kahegi nahi lekin woh bhi yahi chahti hai ki ek bar try karke lo..........

Sujal: thik hai...main pehan ke aata hoon...

Sujal goes and changes into the sherwani and comes out after some time,straightening the arms...

Kripa (whispers): Kashish ek bar palke uthake dekhogi nahi........

Kashish apni palke uthake Sujal ki aur dekhti hai...............

Angad: are wah...in kapdo me kafi handsome lag raha hai...........kam se kam ek din ke liye to muje us business suit se chutkara mil jayega............

Sujal: thik lag rahi haina mujpe..........

Angad: haa Sujal..........ek dam jach rahi hai tujpe...kyun Kashish...........

Kashish: hmmmm......

Sujal just looks at her....

Sujal: thik hai,main change karke aata hoon..

Sujal gets changed again and they pay the bill and leave the shop...

Angad: aur kuch to nahin lena na aapko.......................

Kripa: jee nahi hamari shopping ho gayi...........

Angad: aur hamari bhi hogayi...to ghar chale ya kuch khane chalenge aap.....................

Kashish: jee nahi woh dair ho rahi hai.......hamara ghar jana behtar hoga...........

Angad: thik hai jaisa aap chahe...

They all leave the mall and go to the car...They put the bags in the back and Sujal goes and sits in the drivers seat...Kripa gets in the back and Kashish was about to follow when Angad stops her...

Angad: are Kashish tum peechay kahan beth rahi ho...Aaj se front seat pe tumhara hakk hai...chalo tum aage betho....

Angad opens the front door for her and Kashish just sits in quietly next to him whilst Angad joins Kripa in the back...Sujal just looks at her and then drives off....

they didnt speak a sinlge word and they reach Kashish's home.........

Sujal: aapka ghar aa gaya.........

Kashish gets out of the car and so does Kripa...Sujal comes out too and opens the back passing her dress 2 her...

Sujal: yeh aapke kapre...

Kashish: thanks..............

Sujal: Its ok...ab hum chalte hain...Bye

Kashish; bye.....................

Sujal gaari me jaake waapis beth jaata hai,aur woh anurag ke ghar ki taraf nikal jaate hai............. aur Kashish aur Kripa bhi andar chale jate hai............

*****************************************************************************

ab agle din shaam ko Anjali Kashish ko mandir jane ko kehti hai kyunki uski kuch aur kaam tha to Kashish akele hi Mandir aayi huyi hoti hai........jab woh wapas ghar jati hai to bahot zor se baris hone lagti hai aur woh yaha waha auto dekhne lagti hai.........

Kashish: yeh auto bhi kaha chali gayi.............aur baris ko aaj hi hona tha............

Jab achanak se ek gaari wahan se hoke guzarti hai...par do minute baad woh gaari reverse hoke Kashish ke aage park hoti hai...jab Kashish dekhti hai ke woh Sujal hai...woh sheesha neeche karta hai...

Sujal: aap gaari me bethiye...........,baarish kaafi horahi hai..............,main aapko chor deta hoon...............

Kashish kuch bhi kahe bina darwaza khol ke andar beth jati hai..............

Sujal uski taraf dekhta hai aur phir gaari chalane lagta hai...kuch dair aise hi khamoshi bani rehti hai aur phir Sujal is khamoshi ko thortha hai...

Sujal: aap yahan is waqt kya kar rahi hai.......woh bhi aise mausam me...aapko baarish me baahar nahin aana chahiye tha...............

Kashish: jii woh main Bhabhi ke kehne pe aayi ........lekin yaha aake baris shuru huyi............

Sujal; oh ab main samja............waise bhi yeh barish bin bulaye hi pohanch jaati hai....I just hate this rain!..............thankgod main gaari me tha aur paidal nahin.............

Kashish: aapko yeh barish pasand nahi aur muje yeh barish sabse jyada pasand hai kyunki aap isme khul ke has sakte hai khul ke ro sakte hai.........is barish me koi aapki hasi ko bhi aur aanshu dono ko nahi dekhta............

Sujal:kitni ajeeb si baat haina...hum dono kitne alag hain...na to hamari soch milti hai aur na hi pasand napasand...

Kashish: ajeeb to hoga hi..........kyunki aap dimaag se sochte hai aur main dil se..........

Sujal: ek aam insaan dimaag se hi sochta hai...dil se sochne waale hamesha chot hi khaate hain jabke dimaag hamesha sahi faisla leta hai.................

Kashish: yeh aapki soch hai ............mera manna hai dil ke faisle me sab khush rehte hai kyunki dil kabhi galat jawaab nahi deta...........

Sujal: naa main aapki soch badal sakta hoon aur naa aap meri,to koshish karna bekaar hai kyunki insaan wahin maanta hai jo woh maana chahta hai..............

Kashish: wahi to.......aap apni soch se majbur hai aur main apni........isse behtar hum sab kuch aise hi chod de kyunki jitna hum sochenge utna hi dard jyada badhega......

yeh sunke Sujal achanak gaari rokta hai aur Kashish ki taraf dekhta hai...Woh bhi uski taraf dekhti hai..........

Sujal: aap ka ghar aa gaya...

Kashish darwaza kholti hai phir wapas mud ke Sujal ki aur dekhti hai.......

Kashish : prasad..........

woh apna haath aage karta hai.................

Kashish prasad deke jane lagti hai lekin phir wapas mudti hai..........

Kashish: thanks............gaari sambhal ke chalaiyega baris jyada ho rahi hai.........

Sujal: hmmm...... haan...main dhayan rakhunga...aap jaaiye...bye.............

Kashish: bye

yeh kehke woh apne ghar chali jati hai.......Sujal Kashish ko andar jaate dekhta hai aur phir woh bhi Anurag ke ghar ki taraf bharta hai....
