Chapter 7
'Arjun. Open the door', Arjun leaps up from the floor where he was holding Bhoomi's hand and heads for the door. Bhoomi is left sitting on the floor beside the wooden drawers, she looks at her sore finger and smiles.
'Maa, aap is waqt?' Shakuntala is standing in the door way holding a decorated plate, similar to the one that she had presented to manasvi. 'Beta, this is shagun for karwachauth, please give it to her', as soon as shaku finishes her sentence she turns around to make her way out of the room, 'maa, I think you should give it to bhavri yourself.' Arjun looks over his left shoulder and blinks his eyes indicating Bhoomi to come forward. Bhoomi hurries forward and stands next to Arjun, Shakuntala stares at Bhoomika and then reluctantly hands the thal over to Bhoomi.
Next scene…………………………………………………….
Its dark outside and all the ladies of the house are glittering in their sarees like butterflies. The men of the house are outside enjoying the fireworks and music.
Mansen is standing with his work colleagues and having a conversation about the failing trade of Mr Bansal. Arjun's dad (can't remember his name) is sitting around a white round table with Bhoomi's dad and another business client. Arjun has his white kurta sleeves rolled up and his arms folded, he looks out into the sky and shares a laugh with satya and keshav.
The Goenka family decided to make karachauth a grand event, as it was Shefali's and Bhoomi's first . Baisa stands talking to a few servants on the balcony discussing the preparation and decoration of the food and plates.
Bhoomi walks down the stairs wearing her red and gold saree, her golden jewellery shimmers in the dark and she carefully balances her thal (plate with diva and other stuff) in one hand and corrects her saree with the other. Bhoomi walks down towards Arjun , Bhoomi looks up at the black sky enlightened with stars, she smiles and continues walking towards Arjun. 'Bhoomi, how am I looking? Papa bought me this saree, was very very expensive. These days if you want to buy anything of good quality you have to pay a high price', Shefali is glistening in her orange and yellow saree, embroided with gold and silver sequins. 'Bhabi, you look very pretty as usual', Bhoomi replies with a minimal smile, her attention was some what divided between Arjun and Shefafi. Shefali keeps Bhoomi tied up in conversation, any thing to lesson bhoomi's time with Arjun would excite shefali.
'Bhoomi, Shefali. Chand to bahar agaya, lekhin tum dono tho baato mein khoy hoy ho' Manasvi giggles and points towards the moon, she then makes her way towards Satya. 'Arre Bhoomi..' Shefali turns to look at Bhoomi but she is already gone, as shefali turns to look at Arjun, she finds Bhoomi holding her decorated plate walking towards Arjun.
'Shefali beta, tum ab be yaha ho. Jao aur Yuv ki arti lo.' Gunvanti pats shefali on her shoulder and smiles.
All the couples stand in a row and the women begin to perform the ceremony, Arjun and Bhoomi stand beside mansvi and satya and Shefali walks with yuv following her, she comes to a halt and stands so that she has good view of Arjun and Bhoomi.
Arjun looks straight into Bhoomi's eyes while she performs the pooja, bhoomi is too busy with the puja and doesn't notice Arjun's face, eventually she looks up 'Arjun, mujhe bahut zada bhook lagi hain, today the person who makes the best food is starving' she giggles and then notices that arjun is standing still and is continuously looking at her. Bhoomi looks at Arjun and then narrows her eyes, she then gradually moves away from Arjun, she blushes 'Arjun, please, lets go and eat', Bhoomi continues to walk, Arjun grabs her saree pallu. Bhoomi looks back and her heart starts to beat faster.
Arjun starts to pull Bhoomi towards himself, Bhoomi slowly starts to move backwards, she closes her eyes and when Arjun puts his hands on her shoulders, then moves down to her arms and hands, she whispers 'Arjun, every one is watching'.
Shefali watches all of this from a distance, tears start to roll down her cheeks, she gulps her saliva and wipes her tears. 'Shefali, you look ill. Are you ok? Here I have brought you some food to eat.', Yuv hands shefali a plate full of food. 'Yuv…..i'm..i'm ok. Thanks for the food, I was feeling hungry, but I don't want to eat saag today, so I'll go and give this plate to some one else rather than throwing it away' Shefali smiles at Yuv and then makes her way towards Arjun and Bhoomi. Yuv is left standing, he looks confused and attempts to call out for shefali but is interrupted by mansen, who wants to introduce him to a business client.
'Bhoomi…Arjun…Bhoomi. Hmmm, looks like you two where in another world' Shefali stands in between Arjun and Bhoomi and hands the plate full of food to Arjun. Here, have this, Bhoomi I'll bring one for my self and then we'll eat together' Shefali has a slight expression of anger and annoyance on her face, she then makes her way to get another plate.
As soon as Arjun and Bhoomi are left alone once again, they look at each other and start to laugh ( they remember what happened earlier). Bhoomi picks up a piece of paneer and roti and feeds Arjun. 'Ouch! Arjun, you bit my finger!' Bhoomi looks at her finger and frowns at Arjun, 'Sorry, here, open your mouth, and don't bite my finger in revenge. You have sharp teeth, if you bite my finger, I'll only have four fingers left' Arjun then starts to laugh, Bhoomi hits Arjun on the arm and she starts to laugh as well. Shefali watches the pair laughing from a distance and starts to burn up, the anger is intense on her face, her nostrils flare up.
'Shefali!!!!' Baisa crys out loudly from the balcony, every one in the garden turns to look in shefali's direction………………………………………………
