Herz the next part
The next morning went eventless.Nivedita was lost in the thoughts of Dharam and raksha was trying hard to cheer her up.
I n the boys' tent Dharam was sitting seriously
Veer:Dharam..kya phir se bhabhi ke khwabon mein kho gaye?
Dharam:Veer...pehli baat tum rajkumari nivedita ko bhabhi kehna band karo aur doosri baat ki hum kisi ke khayalon mein nahi khoye the...bas kuch soch rahe the..
Veer:Kya?
Dharam:Yaad hai us din jab shiv mandir mein un gundo ne hum par humlaa kiya tab humne unke haaton mein aswahi jungle ke dakuon ka nishaan dekha..
Veer:Achcha!Mujhe laga tha ki tumhe rajkumari ji ke ilava wahan koi nahi dikha...par agar vo nishaan un dakuon ka hai to iska matlab ki vo ab bhi rajkumari ji ka peecha kar rahein hain aur unki jaan ko ab bhi khatra hai.
In the girls' tent
Raksha:Nivi ab bas bhi karo kal raat se tumne apna mooh hi nahi khola hai..aise maun vrat rakhne se to kuch nahi hoga..mujhe batao hua kya hai?
Nivi spoke atlast:Raksha,hum theek hain aur humme kuch nahi hua hai?
Raksha:Pakka?kYA tumhe rajkumar ji ki yaad nahi aa rahi?
Nivi:Bhala humme dharam ki yaad kyun aane lagi .unse humaara kya rishta..
Raksha(interrupting):Nivi maine ye thodi kaha ki tumhe rajkumar dharam ki yaad aa rahi hai..mera kehne ka matlab tha ki tumhe rajkumar veer...nahi...rajkumar harsh ki yaad aa rahi hai kya?
Nivi(irritated at her own words):Humme kisi ki yaad nahi aa rahi.
After the sunset
Back in DV tent,
Veer:Dharam tum taiiyar nahi hue?
Dharam:Taiyyar,kyun?
Veer:Kyunki mere bhai dharam...aaj pooja ki akhiri raat hai aur sab log bhajan keertan ke baad jashn manayenge.
Dharam:Humme kisi jashn mein nahi jaana.
Veer:Nahi dharam tumhe chalna hoga..apne bhai ke liye..mere liye..chalo naa.
Dharam(smiles):Veer tumhare saamne to koi nahi jeet sakta.Thhek hai hum taiyyar ho jaate hain.
Veer (suddenly remembring the earlier decided dress colour):Dharam tum narangi rang ke kapde pehnana,vo tum par khoob janchte hain.
Dharam:Hummara narangi rang ke kapde mein daag lag gaya hai...isliye vo nahi pehen payenge...
And dharam wears a red dress.Veer was dissapointed to see his plan failing but he couldnt do nething now.
Both the princes leave to the temple.
At the temple,veer searhes for raksha and nivi.He spots them both seated at a corner.
He takes dharam along with him to that place...
To veer's surprise his to-be-bhabhi was clad in red.Veer was pleasantly surprised.
Dharam and nivi had seen each other but were avoiding one other.
The aarti began and all the people gathered there closed their eyes praying to the god,except raksha.
She came to veer and whispered:Tumse kuch baat karni hai...chalo yahan se.
Veer followed her...
They went behind the temple
Veer:Rajkumari Nivi ne laal rang ke kapde pehne...tumhe kaise pata chala ki dharam ye kapde pehnega?
Raksha:Mujhe to kuch nahi maloom tha..bas nivi ne mere kehne par bhi narangi kapde nahi pehne.
Veer:Kitni milti hai na inki soch
Raksha:Har baar nahi...     jaise nivi ne kitni achchi dost chuni (pointing to herself) aur rajkumar dharam ne dost chuna to tum jaisa..
Veer:Mujhe tumse koi faltoo ki baat nahi karni samjhi..ab chlo varna pooja khatm ho jaayegi aur dharam aur bhabhi ko sab pata chal jaayega..
Both of them come back to the place again praying to the god..
Pandit:Ab aap sab jagraata kar sakte hain.
All the devotees place themselves comfortably around the log fire in the courtyard of the temple.
DV and nivi- raksha sit together.
Slowly the people start warming up and start dancing and singing around the fire.
Nivi and dharam were sitting silently without uttering a single word..they seemed traumatised after what happened last night at the bridge.
Raksha:Veer chalo hum bhi naachte hain.
Veer:Pehle mujhe shak tha ab yakeen ho gaya hai.
Raksha:Kis baat ka?
Veer:Yahi ki tum paagal ho.Mere paanv mein chot hai aur tum ho ki naachne ki baat kar rahi ho.
Raksha:Akdoo..tum aise nahi maanoge...to theek hai..
she pulls veer by his arm to the dancing place...
Reluctantly veer joins her..his legs were paining but still he felt happy and painless by just standing next to this dusky beauty.
Suddenly veer collided with a dancing devotee and lost his balance and fell
But he didnt feel the pain of falling on the ground and all of a sudden he realised that he was in someones arms..to his horror it was raksha..
Raksha:Veer tum theek to ho na
Veer:Haan...par ye sab tumhare wajah se hua...tum humesha mujhse akele mein hi baat kyun karna chahti ho..aur isliye mijhe yahan naachne par bhi majboor kar diya
Raksha:Main bas itna chahti thi ki thodi der ke liye dharam aur nivi akele mein baatein kar sakein aur hum unko milaane kiyojna bana sakein
Veer:To kya tumhare bahon mein aakar hum yojna banayenge..
Raksha realised that veer was still in her arms thus she immediately opened her grip of hands and
THUD!!!
Veer was on the ground...
Dharam and nivi both heard this and came rushing to their friends..
Dharam(supportin veer by giving a hand to him"):Tum yahan zameen par kya kar rahe ho?
Nivi(to raksha):Aakhir hua kya?Veer gira kaise?
Veer and raksha wre silent..
suddenly a small girl came to nivi
Girl:Main batati hoon didi...ye ladka(pointing to veer)na in didi(raksha)ke baahon mein gir gaya..
Dharam:Kya?Veer kya tumhe raksha ki bahon mein girne mein sharam nahi ayye..
Veer:Vo..
Dharam(interrupting):Arrey agar girna tha to use apni bahon mein lete..tum to
Nivi(surprised):Rajkumar dharam ye aap kya keh rahein hain?
Dharam:Jo tum sun rahi ho wahi...veer tumne raksha ke bahon mein gir kar ladkon ki naak kata di.
Nivi(furious):Dharam tum ye kehna chahte ho ki agar koi ladki ek ladke ko sahara de to isse ladkon ki izzat kam ho jaati hai?
Dharam:Nahi ladkiyaan ladkon ko sahara dein ,par ladkon ko unki baahon mein to nahi girna chahiye..
Nivi(screaming):Hum jaante the..sabhi ladke ek jaise hot hain..har baat mein ladkiyon ko khud se kam maante hain..
Dharam:Chillane mein to aap ladkiyon se koi nahi haar sakta...
Nivi:Dharam dekho
Dharam:Tum dekho nivi
both were pointing fingers at each other
Pandit:Aap dono shor machana band karein..
Realising where they were both dharam and nivi were embarassed
Nivi:Hum sone jaa rahe hian
SHE LEFT
dHARAM(EMBARASSED):Hum...hum ...nivi ko sullane jaa rahein hain..
and he too rushed away from the scene
Veer and raksha who were too shocked at the recent fight bet. their calm and intelligent friends..
Raksha:Maine inko kabhi aise baatein karte hue nahi suna.
Veer:Maine bhi...(then he smiles)
Raksha:Hanse kyun?
Veer:Kyunki mujhe in dono ke is nok jhok ka kaaran pata chal gaya hai.
Raksha:Kya kaaran hai?
Veer:Kal raat tak ye dono nahi jaante the ki inko ek doosre se pyaar ho gaya hai.aur isliye ek bandhan mein bandhe rehte is dar se ki kahin doosre ko bura lag naa jaye..par aaj ye bandhan toot gaye..ye dono bilkul pati ptni ki tarah jhagde..iska matlab ab in dono ko ek hone se koi nahi rok sakta..humaari yojna zaroor safal hogi..
