Chapter 24

(It is morning at Sinha house's dining room)

Sujal aur Angad upper se neeche aate hai.

Kripa: are yeh kashish ab kaha reh gayi. Koi baat nahin aap log shuru kijiye main kashish ko bulakar aati hoon.

Kripa kashish ke room me jakar dekhti hai lekin wahaan pe koi nahin hota aur kripa darr ke mare neeche daud ke aati hai.

Sujal: kya hua kripa....kuch to batao.

Angad: kripa just calm down aur batao kya baat hai.

Kripa: sujal kashish apne kamre me nahin hai.

Angad: kuch nahin bas yahin kahin hogi. chalo dekhte hai.

Sujal, kripa aur angad pura ghar chan marte hai lekin kashish kahin per bhi nahin hoti.

Sujal: kuch pata chala.

Kripa: nahin lekin woh ja kaha sakti hai. Main anjali ko phone karti hoon.

Angad: main bahar jakar dekhta hoon.

Kripa is dialing Anjali's phone numbers and sujal is sitting on sofa holding his head.

Sujal aur kripa bhagte huye bahar aate hai aur dekhte hai ki kashish bahar garden pe chair pe bethi hai.

Kashish ko dekhkar aisa lagta hai ki woh puri raat wahi per thi aur uski aankhon se lagta hai ki woh puri raat bahot royi hai. lekin ab to uski aankhon me aanshu bhi nahi hai lekin woh kuch gehri soch me kahin khoyi huyi thi.

Sab log kashish ke pass aate hai.

Angad: thank God tum yahaan ho.

Sujal: Kripa, bas kar,,,ab to sab kuch thik hai na. chalo kashish breakfast ke liye.

Kashish: Muje bhukh nahin hai.

Sujal: bhukh to sabhi ko lagti hai aur waise bhi kal raat bhi tumne thik se khana nahin khaya. chalo kashish.

Sujal kripa ko ishara karta hai ki kashish ka brakefast bahar lane ko.

Thodi der bad kripa sujal ko plate dekar angad ke saath wahi se chali jati hai.

============================================================ ==================================

Kashish: maine kaha na muje nahin khana.

Sujal: mere liye hi sahi.

Kashish: kyun khau main tumhare liye.

Sujal: thik hai to aaj se hum naya rista shuru karte hai. Dosti ka. dosti karna pasand karogi mujse.

Kashish: kya tum muj jaisi ladki jo khud ko nahin janti uske dost banoge. bahot muskil hoga.

Sujal: muskil hi sahi lekin main apni dosti nibhaunga.

Sujal: hamesha muskurati rehna achchi lagti ho.

Kashish: apne dost ko breakfast nahin khilaoge. bahot bhukh lagi hai.

Sujal: lekin abhi to koi keh raha tha ki use bhukh nahin hai.

Kashish: ple do na sujal....

Sujal: aisi hi hamesha ladti rehna mujse.

sujal and kashish both lost in each other's eyes. Kripa and angad are watching them from the balcony.

Kripa; chalo tum bhi breakfast karlo phir hume chalna hai.

Angad; kaha

Kripa: bhul gaye abhi bahot sara kaam baki hai boutique ka.

Angad; aap ke liye to jaan bhi hajir hai.

kripa; shut up angad. you know me.

angad; bahot hi achichi tarah.

============================================================ ==================================

(let's check on sujal and kashish)

Sujal : hey bhagwan main aaj tumse kuch nahin magta sirf itna ki kashish ko uski yadash wapas mil jaye. Kyunki kashish ki khushiyaan usme chipi hai aur muje kashish ki khushiyaan ke alwa aur kuch nahin chahiye.

Kashish: Main nahin janti ki main sujal se pyaar karti hoon ya nahin muje kuch yaad nahin hai lekin ha main jab bhi sujal ke saath hoti hoon to ek ajeeb sa sukun milta hai. na koi gumm na hi koi darr. kuch hota hai to sirf khushiyaan. Kabhi kabhi darr lagta hai ki agar muje kabhi kuch yaad na aaya to main kahi usse uski khusiyaan chin nalu. Main janti hoon ki main jo bhi karungi usme aap hamesha mere saath hoge. shayad yeh mera imtihaan hai. muje aashirwad dijiye isme pass hone ka.

Sujal: chale kashish

Kashish: haa...

Panditjee: Are kashish betiyaa....kitne dino baad aayi ho. Sab kuch thik to hai na. aur tum aise kya dekh rahi ho jaise muje janti na ho. bachpan se tumhe janta hoon. apni behen ke saath aati ho.

Kashish: Woh do mahine pehle mera accident hua tha aur isme maine apni yadash kho di. maff kijiye lekin main aapko nahin janti.

Panditjee: Koi baat nahin beti. (by looking at sujal), aap....maine aapko pehle kabhi nahin dekha.

Kashish: yeh sujal hai...

Panditjee; to yeh hai woh. jiske liye tum hamesha yahaan aati thi. Beta tum bahot hi naseebwale ho yeh tumse bahot pyaar karti hai. Hamesha tumhari khusiyon ke liye prarthna karti rehti hai.

Sujal: janta hoon. chale kashish

kashish: haa

Panditjee: bhagwan tum dono ki jodi banaye rakhe.

Kashish aur sujal bas ek dusre ki aur dekhte hi rehte hai.

(1 week has been passed )

Kashish aur Sujal ab bahot achche dost ban gaye hai.

Raat ke kareeban do baje hai. Sujal pani pine ke liye neeche kitchen me aata hai to dekhta hai wahaan kashish hall me andhere me sofe ke pass zameen pe bethi ro rahi hai.

Sujal : Kashish, janti ho mere liye yeh aanshu bahot keemati hai aur tum ise aise hi baha rahi ho. Main chahkar bhi iski keemat nahin chuka paunga. Tum ise sambhal ke rakhna. Jab bhi tumhare aankhon se yeh aanshu girte hai to sab se jyada taklif muje hoti hai. pata hai kyun.

Kashish sirf apna sir hilati hai.

Sujal: Kyunki main khud hi apne aap ko diya hua vaada todta hoon. Aur main janta hoon ki tum bhi nahin chahti ki muje dard ho. sach kaha na.

Kashish: Sach hai main kabhi bhi tumhe dard dena nahin chahti lekin kabhi kabhi anjane me maine tumhe bahot dard diya hai aur ab bhi de rahi hoon.

Sujal: kisne kaha tum muje dard de rahi ho. tumne muje aaj tak woh khushiyaan di hai jo aaj tak kisi ne nahin di. Abhi meri khushi isi main ki tum jake aaram se so jao.

Sujal kashish ko uske room tak chodke aata hai aur khud bhi apne kamre me chala jata hai.

============================================================ ==================================

(2 week has been passed)

Aaj KnK boutique ki re opening hai.

Kashish, Kripa, Sujal, Anjali, Kavya aur Angad sab log maujood the. Sirf ribbon katke andar jane ki dair.

Kashish: main kaise kripa, yeh sab kuch to.

Kripa: Yeh sab kuch maine jo kiya hai tumhare liye to kiya hai. Agar tum yeh karogi to sabse jyada khushi muje hogi.

Anjali: Comeon kashish, dair ho rahi hai.

Kashish cuts the ribbion and everyone enters. Saare officewale kashish ko welcome karte hai. Phir kripa aur sab log kashish ko uski nayi cabin me le jate hai.

Kripa: yeh hai tumhara cabin. Kaisa laga.

============================================================ ==================================

Kavya: Hey family and friends, main aap sab ko bata na chahta hoon ki aaj sham ko maine KnK ki reopening ki khushi me ek choti si party rakhi hai aur aap sab ko meri is party me aana hoga. thik 7 baje hotel hilton. So see guys at seven.

Sab log bahot hi khush the.

Anjali: Kavya tumne muje kuch bataya nahin.

Kavya: Isme chupane wali bhi to baat nahin hai na.

Anjali: tum bhi kavya.

Angad: Yeh hi haal hota hai shaadi ke bad.

Kripa: kya burai hai shadi me.

Angad: Shaadi ke baad reh jate hai yeh zagde ladai aur pyaar woh to kahin durr chut gaya hota hai.

Kavya: Angad tum nahin samjoge. yeh shaadi hai na woh us laddoo ki tarah hai khake bhi pastaye aur na khake bhi. to kyun na khake hi pastaye. kya kehte ho sujal.

Sujal: Shaadi kya hoti hai yeh to muje pata nahin. lekin itna maloom hai ki shaadi ke liye pyaar, vishwas aur ek dusre ka saath hona zaroori hai. aur main kavya se sehmat hoon agar pastana hi hai to kyun na khake pastaye.

Anjali: bilkul sahi kaha, sikho angad kuch sujal se.

Angad: woh to sujal ko shadi ke bad hi pata chalega. Kyun kashish.

Kashish: Mujse aap log kyun pooch rahe ho meri thodi hi shaadi huyi hai.

Kripa: huyi nahin hai to ho jayegi waise ladka bhi hai aur moka bhi kya kehti ho.

Kashish: shut up aur tu chal mere sath muje tujse kuch baatein karni hai.

Kavya: main chalta hoon. muje aaj sham ki party ki taiyaariyaan karni hai. Sujal, angad kya aap log meri kuch help karenge.

Sujal: sure.

Kavya: ok ladies aaj sham ko milte hai party me.
