Chapter 7

Shaadi ka din jaise sabki zindagi me aata hai woh aaj Sujal aur Kashish ki zindagi me bhi aaya hai.............Shaadi se do ajnabee hamesha ke liye ek ho jate hai.......aaj agar Dulhan ke mann me darr hai to dulha kahi na kahi nervous......kyunki yeh din ek hi baar aata hai aur is din se aap akele nahi balke aapke saath ek nayi zindagi jud jati hai.......yeh din khushi ke saath bahot si aur bhi aisi jimedari leke bhi aata hai........ab dekhte hai ki aaj ki shaam hamare Sujal aur Kashish ki zindagi me kya rang lati hai........Anjali Kashish se milne uske kamre me aati hai..........

Anjali: taiyaar ho gayi Kashish...........

Kashish: jee bhabhi main taiyaar hoon...

Anjali: Kashish aaj mere pass tumhe dene ke liye kuch hai........yeh tumhari maa ke kangan..........

Kashish ki aankh bhar aati hai...

Kashish: isse keemti taufa mere liye aur ho hi nahin sakta...kaash aaj maa hamare saath hoti...par bhabhi aapka shukriya kaise ada karun,aapne kabhi maa ki kami mehsoos nahin hone di ...aapne aur bhaiyaa ne muje har rishta diya hai.............

Anjali: her rishta diya hai aur aaj is shaadi ke bad tumhe ek aur rishta de rahe hai.......hum jante hai ki tu bahot hi samajdar ho lekin aaj maa nahi is liye main tumse kuch keh rahi hoon..........aisa kayi bar hoga ki tumhe sujal ke faisla sahi na lage....lekin ek patni ke nate tumhe her woh faisle ko manna hoga........tumhe woh her aakhri koshish karni hogi jo Sujal ko thodi si bhi khushi de sake............Kashish aaj se tumhe apne liye nahi Sujal ke liye jina shikhna hai..........aaj se tum tum nahi balke tum Sujal se jud jogi......tumhe hi use samajna hai sambhalna hai aur pyaar bhi karna hai..........kabhi bhi mera aur apne bhai ki nazre mat jukne dena........

Kashish: main aapse vaada karti hoon bhabhi,.......... main apni taraf se poori koshish karungi ki main unhe khush rakh sakun aur main aapki aur bhaiyaa ki nazre kabhi jhukne nahin duni.............

Anjali: ek aur baad yaad rakhna Kashish.......aaj se tum pehle Sujal ki patni aur bad me tum kisi ki behen aur dost.........tum samaj rahi ho na main kya keh rahi hoon..........

Kashish: ji main samaj rahi hoon aapki baat ko aur main puri koshish karungi ke main unka saath hamesha nibha sakhu...meri taraf se koi kammi nahin hogi........

jab Kripa daudti huyi andar aati hai.........

Kripa: bhabhi jaldi chaliye Barat aa gayi......

Anjali: main bas abhi aayi...Kashish tum yahin rukko tumhe thodi der me lene aa rahe hai..............

Kashish: jii bhabhi....

Kripa aur Anjali Kavya ke saath darwaze pe barat ko swagat karne aate hai..........Anjali sabse pehle Sujal ki aarti karke zor se uski nak khichti hai..........Sujal sirf Anurag ki aur dekhta hi reh jata hai.........

Anurag: aise kya dekh rahe ho beta...rasam hai.........

Angad: rehne dijiye ise kuch nahi pata..........Bhabhi ab andar bhi aane dengi ki......

Anjali: kyun nahin...aaiye na..............

ab sab log andar aate hai.........

Panditjee: shaadi ke liye ladki ko bulaiye........

Kavya: Anjali.......

Anjali: jii hum abhi leke aate hai.............. chalo kripa.................

Kripa aur Anjali Kashish ko lene upper jate hai...........

Kripa: janti ho Kashish aaj Shimla ki sabhi ladki ka dil jal gaya hoga kyunki tere Sujal ko dulhe me dekh ke.............haye kya bataye ab kyun Bhabhi.........

Anjali: haan wakay me, par hamari dulhan bhi kuch kam nahin lag rahi...aaj aisa lag raha hai jaise chaand zameen pe utar aaya hai.............

Kripa: ab chaliye warna bhaiyaa upper aa jayenge........

Anjali: Haan haan chalo....

Kashish gets up and Anjali looks at her and kisses her forehead.......... Anjali aur Kripa Kashish ko leke neeche aate hai jiski nazar chuki ki chuki hi hoti hai....... Woh jaake usse Sujal ke paas mandap mein bithate hain aur aik pal ke liye Sujal usse dekhte reh jaatha hai..........phir woh apni nazrein neechi karleta hai

Anurag: panditjee ab to rasam shuru karo .......

Pandit jee; abhi rasme shuru karte hai.............

Panditjee mantra padhna shuru karte hain....phir Kanyadan karne Kavya aage aata hai aur Sujal ke haath me Kashish ka haath deta hai...aur phir Anjali ghatbandhan karne aage aati hai

Anjali: yeh ghatbandhan rahe ya na rahe lekin yeh haath jo mile hai woh zindagi bhar aise hi ek dusre ke haath me rahenge...........

Sujal aur Kashish ek doosre ko dekhte hain aur phir Kashish apni nazrein jhuka deti hai...........phir Panditjee unhe pheron ke liye khade karte hain aur dono milke phere lete hai.......... ab phere ke bad Panditjee Sujal ko sindoor deta hai aur Sujal use Kashish ki mang me bhar deta hai.........aur phir Kashish ke gale me mangalsutra bandh deta hai..........

Panditjee: aaj se aap dono pati patni hain...jaaiye bado ka aashirwaad lijiye.........

Sujal aur Kashish ek doosre ki taraf dekhte hain aur phir khade ho jaate hain aur jaake Anurag ke pair chute hai............aur phir Kavya ke paas jaate hain aur uske galle milte hai............

Kavya: hey yeh kya........aaj ke din bhi ro rahi hai.........

Kashish: Bhaiyaa aapki bohat yaad aayegi...pata nahin aapke binna main kaise rahungi.............

She starts to cry when Anjali comes towards her and wipes her tears............and then hugs her

Anjali: ab beti ho to ek din to jaana hi tha........lekin tere jane ke bad mera kya hoga.........teri aadat jo pad gayi hai.........jate jate bhi sabko rulayegi ab kya...

Jab Ayan aake Kashish ko piche se uska pallu khichta hai.........woh Anjali ko chor ke Ayan ki taraf mudti hai aur neeche jhukti hai aur usse apne galle se lagati hai..........

Ayan: aap ro kyun rahi ho GF.......aur GF tum apna zara bhi khayal nahi rakhti.......apni diary apne kamre me hi chod di ......

Kashish takes the diary of him and hugs him again

Kashish: Thanks Ayan,............muje pata hai tu hai na mera khayal karne ke liye...........

She turns towards Anjali

Kashish: Bhabhi mujse vaada kijiye ke aap mere jaane ke baad Ayan ko kabhi kissi baat ko leke nahin dantengi...jab main hoti thi to isse main bacha leti thi par ab main nahin rahungi to aapko iska aur bhi khayal rakhna hoga..

When Kripa walks upto her.............

Kripa: Kashish Ayan ki fikar karna chod de......ab tera khud ka ghar hai........aur main kis din kaam aaungi........tu pareshan mat ho.........Ayan ke saath saath me Bhaiyaa Bhabhi ka bhi khyal rakhungi...........lekin tune mere bare me nahi socha.........

Kashish gets up and hugs her and starts to cry again...

Kashish: teri bohat yaad aayegi Kripa...tum aaj tak hamesha mere saath rahi ho, tumhare binna main ek kadam bhi aage nahin chal sakti..najaane kaise tumhare binna jee paungi..........tum apna khayal rakhna Kripa...aur muje poora yakeen hai ki tu bhaiyya bhabhi aur mere ayan ko sambhal legi.............

Kripa: ab rona bandh kar.........dekh Sujal aur Uncle tera intzaar kar rahe hai........chal ab kisi ko dair nahi karate...........

She lets go of Kripa and looks at Sujal and then wipes her tears... Anjali chawal ki thaal leke baahar aati hai aur phir bidaai ki rasam shuru hoti hai............ Kashish Sujal ke saath baahar ki taraf chalti hai aur apne haathon se peechay chawal dalti hai, jo Anjali apne aanchal me samet rahi hoti hai............. Sabki aankhein num hoti hain Kashish ko jaate dekh ke............ Kavya Kashish ko Sujal ke saath hamesha ke liye rukshat kar deta hai.......Kashish sirf piche mud ke apno ko dekhti rehti hai......aur uski aankhon se halke halke aanshu beh rahe hote hain....phir woh gaari me bethti hai aur uske saath Sujal aur woh Anurag ke ghar ki taraf aage bharte hain...

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

ab dekhte hi dekhte Sujal aur Kashish Anurag ki chaukhat pe aate hai jaha pe Anurag aur Angad unka intzaar kar rahe hote hai.........

Anurag: Angad jaldi karo.........kitni dair laga rahe ho............

Angad: aaraha hoon na uncle...aap to aise bol rahe ho jaise main yeh kaam roz karta hoon...lijiye aagaya...

Anurag: ab de muje.........

Anurag Sujal aur Kashish ki aarti karta hai aur phir dono unke pair chute hai.........

Anurag: jite raho.......ab Kashish yeh kalsh girake is thal me pair rakh ke andar aa jao..........

Kashish kalash girake aur thal me pair rakh ke ghar me apne pehle kadam rakhti hai aur uske peeche Sujal andar aata hai...

Angad Sujal ke gale milta hai...

Angad: Shaadi Mubarak ho dost...Bhagwaan kare tum dono humesha khush raho,aur saath raho.........

Sujal: thanks Angad...........

Anurag: Kashish tum is ghar me bahot bar beti banke aayi lekin aaj tum mere Sujal ki patni aur is ghar ki bahu banke aa rahi ho............thoda ajeeb lagega kyunki yaha pe na to tumhari saas hai nahi Prerna is liye kabhi bhi koi bhi pareshani ho to bejijak apne is dost ko tum bata sakti ho........aur Sujal meri beti ka achche se khayal rakhna aur agar muje pata chala ki teri waje se inski aankhoin me aanshu hai to phir tu kabhi mujse baat mat karna........

Sujal: main Kashish ko khush rakhne ki puri koshish karunga...aap ko sikayat ka mauka nahin dunga...

Anurag: ab tum dono jaake aaraam karo...hum subaah baat karenge...

Sujal: jii uncle........chale Kashish........

Kashish: hmmm........

ab dono upar apne kamre me jaate hain aur phir Angad aur Anurag bhi jaake araam karte hain...............

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

ab Sujal aur Kashish apne kamre me aate hai jo khawabo ki tarah sajaya hua hota hai..........Kashish andar aake aise hi khadi rehti hai jab Sujal darwaza bandh karta hai..........darwaza bandh hone ki aawaz se Kashish mudke Sujal ki aur dekhti hai...........

Sujal: ple aap ghabraiye mat..........yeh sirf mera hi nahi balke ab se aapka bhi kamra hai........aap waise hi reh sakte hai jaise aap hamesha se rehti thi........aapko apne aap ko badalne ki zaroorat nahi........

She looks up at him..

Kashish: Ji....Thanks

Sujal: aur ek baat............hume kal hi wapas Delhi jana hoga......woh meri ek baje bahot important meeting hai isliye hume subaah hi nikalna hoga......aapko koi aitraaz to nahi........

Kashish: nahi muje koi aitraaz nahin hai...aap jab kahenge hum ja sakte hain...main subah aapka samaan pack kardungi...

She thinks to herself: khud faisla sunake aap mujse pooch rahe hai agar muje koi aitraaz hai..............agar main aitraaz karti,tab bhi aap kahan rukte..........

Sujal: aapko mera saaman pack karne ki taklif uthane ki koi zaroorat nahi kyunki muje apna kaam khud karna pasand hai..........

Kashish: par ab main aapki patni hoon to aapko yeh sab karne ki zaroorat nahin...phir bhi agar aap nahin chahte ki main aapka saman pack karun,to main nahin karungi.............

Sujal: woh aaj tak main hi karta aaya hoon to ab aadat si hai...........ple bura mat maniyega..........

Kashish: nahin muje bura nahin lagga...agar aap khud karna chahte hai to muje koi aitraaz nahin ......................

Sujal: Thanks..........ab aap bhi thak gaye honge.........aap bhi change karke so jaiye kyunki kal hume jaldi nikalna hai........

Kashish:Ji...

Without saying anything further she goes and sits infront of the mirror and starts to take of her jewellery............. Sujal goes in the washroom and comes out all change and go to bed and turn off the light by his side and went to sleep on one side of bed.............

Then Kashish goes into the washroom and comes out all changed 20 minutes later...She sees that Sujal was fast asleep...She looks at him for a minute and sees her diary on the dresser........she goes and takes her diary and looks at sujal one time and starts to write her feelings..........

Kashish (in her diary): aaj ki yeh raat jiska sabhi ko intzaar hota hai woh meri zindagi me bhi aayi.........kehte hai shaadi ki yeh pehli raat bahot hi khaas hoti hai.......bahot si khushiyaan bahot sa pyaar leke aati hai lekin meri zindagi me sirf ek aam raat ban ke reh gayi...........aaj log is raat pe apni dulhan ko tohfa dete hai lekin Sujal ne aaj apna faisla suna diya..........ek bar bhi nahi pucha ki main kya chahti hoon mera dil kya chahta hai...........aisa lag raha hai ki main bas ek katputli ban ke reh gayi hoon jiski dor Sujal ke haath me hai...........pata nahi kal main Delhi ja rahi hoon apne ghar jaha muje apni puri zindagi bitani hai waha jake Sujal aur mera rishta kis manzil tak leke jayega...........

Kashish closed her diary and puts it on side.....then goes to the other side of the bed and lies there...She was trying to go to sleep but was not able to as she felt a little uncomfortable............

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

ab subah subah suraj ki roshni se Kashish ki aankh khulti hai...jab woh dusri taraf dekhti hai to Sujal wahan nahin hota...woh jaldi me uth ke beth jaati hai aur saamne Sujal ko dekhti hai jo apne bags pack kar raha hota hai...

Sujal: good morning Kashish........

Kashish: Good morning...aapne muje jagaya kyun nahin...........

Sujal: nahi woh meri aankh aaj jaldi khul gayi to......kahi maine to aapko nahi jagaya meri is packing ke aawaz se...........

Kashish: nahi aapne nahin jagaya...meri aankh aise hi khul gayi...aap rukiye main aapke liye chai leke aati hoon...

Sujal: uski koi zaroorat nahi...........aap jaldi se taiyaar hoke neeche aaiye phir Uncle ke saath breakfast karke hume nikalna hai............

Kashish: jii main bas abhi aayi...

She gets up and gets her clothes goes into the washroom to freshen up....after 15 minutes she comes out wearing a beatiful maroon saree looking very beautiful...she had a towel in her hand and walked upto the mirror drying her hair...........he just looks at her

Sujal: main neeche aapka intzaar kar raha hoon..........

he picks his beg and went downstairs.......

She puts the towel down and starts getting ready...she wears her bangles, her jewellery and simple makeup and then fills her maang with sindoor and when she was ready,she went downstairs taking her bag slowly down the steps...

Anurag: are yeh subaah subaah saman ke saath kaha ja rahe ho tum dono.........

Kashish: woh Uncle....darsal hum....hum Delhi ja rahe hai.............
