CHAPTER 33...MANAN'S WEDDING
The next morning...and of course the most awaited morning...the day for manan's marriage...this morning is found to be full withdesires...love...affection...happiness...
Preparation for the glamorous night has already started...all , busy with their works have no time to take a long breath also...this time cabir is also busy in its truest sense...lights , flowers, decorations...wow...
Dadi seems to be totally busy with the work...she is now choosing the wedding name plate...
Dadi: arre yeh nahi...kuch dhang ka dikhaw...warna goli mar denge...arre meri nandu ki saadi hai...sab kuch khandani hona chahiye ...thoda sa modern bhi hona chahiye...
Now cabir...walking with a basket full of flowers...basket is totally leaning on cabir's face and I know he could see nothing...and due to this he bashes with dadi...dhuddd...dadi fell down with the basket...cabir still standing in a shock...
Dadi: yeh ladke...kya kiya tumne...mujhe gira diya...utha mujhe...aja toh teri kher nahi...
Cabir provo: kya karun...uthaya toh mujhe swarg jana hoga...cabir kat le...sorry nandini maff karna...tumhari dadi ko aise chod ke ja raha huin...lekin agar inhe uthaya toh ye mujhe utha denge...
And deciding what to cabir...cabir walked away...dadi still laying on the ground...
Dadi: mujhe koi uthau...
Navya came to see dadi's condition like this...she ran and picked her up from the ground...
Navya: arre dadi...utheiye uthiye...dheere dheere...( hoding dadi's arm and taking her up)
Dadi: uss nalayak cabir ki wajah se sab ho raha hai...
Navya gave a fainted smile ...which remains unnoticed by dadi...
And here comes the saree dealer...
Dealer: namaste dadi...
Dadi: arre ap...aiye aiye...
Dadi greeted him...and made him sit on the couch...
Dadi: nandini ...beti nandini...
Nandini comes down...with a happi wala mood...with a big smile...
Dadi: aja meri bacchi...tera jooda( bridal wear)pasand kar le...
Nandini comes down to dadi...and stands beside her...the dealer shows one by one best items and advised him to put it on nandini and see ...dadi liked the idea...
Nandini was provied with sareee...
She was standing in front of the mirror to see manik's reflection on the mirror who is standing at some distance from her...
She started trying the sarees one by one...
Dadi: yeh lo nandu...yeh dekho...
Mann yeh saahib ji
Jaane hai sab ji
Phir bhi banaye bahaane
Naina nawaabi ji
Dekhe hain sab ji
Phir bhi na samjhe ishaare
Mann yeh saahib ji haan karta bahaane
Naina nawaabi ji na samjhe ishaare
(na samjhe ishaare)
Dheere dheere, nainon ko dheere dheere
Jiya ko dheere dheere, bhaayo re Saibo
Dheere dheere, begaana dheere dheere
Apna sa dheere dheere, laage re Saibo
DESCRIPTION DURING THE SONG (Nandini took the saree and she just wrapped it around and had a look on the mirror...where manik uttered a simple no...
Nandini: nahi dadi...accha nahi hai...kuch aur...
Dadi: accha thik hai rukh...
Accha yeh dekh...
Again the same...nandu wrapped it around and again lookedfor manik...lekin hamare manik bhai ko kuch pasand nahi aa raha hai...
Trying this 3 to 4 times...at last manik ko ek saree pasand ayi...and he noded as a yes...)
Nandini: dadi yeh final...
Dadi: thik hai bhai...isse acche se pack karke bhijwa do...
Manik smiles there standing...nandini blushes ...
Scene ends...
Most awaited night...
The marriage...
After so much of struggle...our manan iss together...and abhi unhr koi alag nahi kar sakta...
The palace is brightened with all the lights decorations...the mandap has beacame the center of attraction and is properly ready to fulfill manan's happiness...manik is seen peeping from his balcony to nandini's balcony...
And we hear a sound...coming from down...
Nahi dikhegi...
Manik shockingly looks down...its non other than dadi...
Dadi: tayar ho rahi hai...nahi dikhegi...
Manik: woo..woh dadi mein toh bas dekh raha tha ki saadi ki tayariyan kaise hai...mein nandini ko thodi na dekh raha tha...
Kya mast tayari hai...
Dadi: hmm..accha bacchu...mujhe sab pata hai...yeh mat sochna ki paida hi buddhi hui thi...are mein bhi kabhi jawan thi...sab pata hai mujhr...
Manik donates a fake smile...and ran inside the room...
Dadi: arre cabir...khane ka intazam thik thak hai na...
Cabir: han dadi...ap bas batayiye ki ap chicken khayenge yah mutton yah phir prawn yah phir crab...
Dadi: chi chi...ram ram ram ram...(touching both her ears with her hands)
Cabir little bit confused...
Dadi: naam mat lena...tumhe jo khana hai khaw...mein suddha sakahari huin...
Cabir proves: dekho toh...kabhi bhi gun nikal leti hai kisko marne ke liye or keheti hai ki suddha sakahari huin...(in a funny tune)
Dadi: kya bola...
Cabir: kuu...kuch nahi...
Cabir ran away...
Dadi (shouting): man mein kya bolta hai...samne bol...
Dadi looked at dhruv who was standing there and arranging things...
Dadi: dhruv beta...pandit ji aa gaye hai...ja kar manik ko le awo...subha muhurat suru ho gaya hai...
Dhruv nodes and leaves...
Manik in his roon revolving here and there...
Dhruv enters...and founds manik bitting his nails...
Dhruv: arrr...re ...re...re...hamara dulha itna tensed kuin hai...
Manik: dhruv...aja meri saadi thik se ho gayega na...
Dhruv: bhai saadi toh tab hoga jab tume nicche jayoge...pandit ji bula rahe hai...
Cholo...
Manik: han chal...
Both of them came down...and manik took his place in the mandap...
Pandit ji is all prepared...and starts chanting holy mantras...
Aghorchakshur apatighniedhi shiva pashubhyah sumanAh suvarchAh.
Virasur devakAmA syenA sham na bhava dvipade sham chatuspade.
Pandit ji gived manik some rice seeds to put in to fire followed by manik...
Pandit: kanya ko bulaya jaye...
Dadi: arre nandini ko layo...
Bride comes down with a bid ghunghat on her face followed by navya aliya and mukti..
All dressed ...looking like a fairy...
And look at our manik totally memorized...
Manik takes the bride to the altar and both sit down. Pandit ji recounts the marriage of Soma with Surya...
SatyenottabhitA bhumih suryenottabhitA dyuoh.
RitenAdityAs tishthanti divi somo adhi shritah
Somam manyate papivan yat sampishanti oshadhim.
Somam yam brahmAno vidurna tasyAshnAti kaschana.
Mantras were chanted...with the presence of the blessing of all gods the marriage continued...
Manik looks at nandini...but nandini seems to be totally quite...not looking at manik...nothing...
Pandit ji stopped the mantra...
Pandit ji: ab ap badhu ko magalsutra pehenaye...
Dadi handed over the nupital chain to manik...and manik crossed it in his bride's neck...
Still no movement in nandini...
Manik seems to be little tensed by nandini's behaivour...
Time came for vermilion...
Pandit ji: ab sindoor se badhu ki maang bjariye...
Manik is given a small box full of red pure vermilion...
Tadeva Lagnam Sudinam Tadeva, Tara-Balam Chandra-Balam Tadeva
Vidya-Balam Daiva-Balam Tadeva, Lakshmipateramghri-Yugam Smarami(3 times)
Manik dips the coin inside the vermilion...he brings the coin nearer and nearer to her bride...
A girl is seen running and coming towards the mandap...pushing scattering the guest..she uas wore the same bridal wear as nandini has wore...her legs are constantly moving and not stopping for a while
Manik slowly moves his hands towards his brides hair parting...
When suddenly this girl throws the vermilion from manik's hand...
Silences spreads...everyone is shocked...
The box falls down and the vermilion spilts on the ground...
Manik: what the hell...
And when manik looks up to see this girl...he was driven in to a big shock...he couldn't move...his mind stop functioning.not only he...all were in the same condition as that girl was non other than NANDINI!!!!
Yes nandini...manik's bride...she was in a devastated condition...her forehead wadwas hurt and blood jas spread on her face...tears have crowded her eyes...
Manik could speak nothing...
The ques here is how is nandini in this brutal condition...
If nandini is here who is sitting with manik in the mandap...
Nandini ab tak kaha thi...
Ab kya manan ek ho payenge...
Yah their destiny has something else stored for them...
