Shiv Ki Gauri
Chapter 12
Recap: Gauri was dying to make her confession tell Shiv everything to apologise for doubting him, but Shiv didn't give her a chance to speak and she couldn't bring herself to speak up in front of him, instead she just stood quietly listening to what Shiv had to say and now even his anger did not hurt as much because it was clear within her mind that he was not to blame, if anyone was to blame she felt it was only herself. Regret was the dominant feeling within her..it hurt her to think that she was the reason for her husbands distress.
Shiv: "tum janti ho gauri yey saab hone se pehle mein yey soch tha ke syaad In kuch dino mein mein tumse…pyaa….."
shiv didn't finish off, he just stared at gauri with eyes filled of compassion which gauri didn't notice as she was looking away from him but she had realised how his tone softened, like he was trying to tell her something, something personal.
Shiv: "Tum nahi samjongi….
…maybe mein galat hu, the wrong person for you. Is leiye toe tumne mere baare mein aisa soch leiye. tumare nazaro mein meri kya aiymehat hai gauri?..... is baat ka jabvab bhi nahi de sakti naa tum, mere kisi javab ka saval ka javab nahi de sakti..nasre ootha kar bhi nahi dekh sakti naa muje. …..Kya mein itna bura hoon?
Afsos toe is baat ka hai gauri ke shaadhi ke baad meine tumhe apni zindagi maanleiya magar aaj pata chala ke tumare leyiye mein.. kuch nahi..kuch bhi nahi.."
Shiv walks out of the room leaving gauri alone with her guilt and tears.
……………………………………………….
8 am in the Kapoor mansion, it was all quite dada and dadi had finished there morning routine and were sat at the dinning having breakfast, the table was filled with numerous dishes from toast and juice to paratha's and even sweets which dadaji had his eye on and began to playfully complain on how his diet had been restricted with the hope that dadi would feel sorry for him and let him eat them.
Dadaji: "Kya Krishna ji aap bhi… kabhi toe apne pati ki baat maanlejiye, ek jalebhi kha tha toe kya hojata. Vaise aap ko mere armaano hi koi fikar nahi hai…"
Dadi does not respond and seems completely lost and dadaji was well aware of it, there was definitely something that was wrong because he knew If everything was normal than his wife would have responded with an equally teasing and apt reply by now, dadaji thinks of changing the subject in response to his wife's worrying silence.
Dadaji: "vaise aaj toe gauri ke leiye hame kuch khaaz kar naa chahiyey"
Dadi: " Nahi! Dekhyey aagar gauri keh rahi ke use koi shore nahi chahyey toe ham aisa kuch nahi karege.." Dadi replied in a rather rash and distressed tone which made it even more apparent that there was something concerning her.
Dada: "Aise kaise Krishnaji, aaj ke din toe use" dadaji sees a concern on dadi's face and pauses to look at her. "Magar aap itna paresaan kyun ho rahi hai Krishnaji??"
Dadi: "Kyun..ki apke pote ne pata nahi kya kaha use, bichari gauri kal raat se pareshaan hai, pehle se uski haalat naasuk hai..pata nahi ab shiv ne kya kiya."
Dadaji: "aap yey kaise keh sakti hai ke yey shiv ki galti hai, vaise pati patni ke beech mein aisi bate hoti rehte hai."
Dadi interrupts
"..ushiki koi galti hogi.. aap ne dekha woh kal kaise roti hue ghar ayee thi, aur shiv..shiv toe pata nahi, shaarab ke nashe mein adhi raat ko ghar aya tha woh kya kya bol raha tha.
Aap kuch bhi kahe par muje naa, fikar ho rahi hai, gauri ne kal ki raat guest room mein bitayee, muje lagraha ta ke sabkuch theek hone wala hai magar…."
Dadaji is just about to console dadi when gauri walks into the dining area and seeing her he quickly changes the subject to make sure gauri does not become aware of the on going conversation.
Dadaji:"Dekhye aagayi…birthday girl!!!! , haam ab tumari hein baat kar rahe the beta" dadaji sounded awfully excited and overjoyed, seeing gauri put a beaming smile on his face which managed to put a sweet smile on gauri's face.
Dadaji: "Happy Birthday beta..are vaha kyun khadhi ho, yaha ao hamare saath nasta karlo."
Gauri was standing quite a distance away from the dining table in a light yellow saari with a puja plate in her hands she looked like she was heading for the puja ghar. As usual she was wearing her essential jewellery red bangles and sindoor you could tell it was still early her face showed a discomforting tiredness whilst wet hair left loose gave the indication that she hadn't had the time to groom her self as usual but still she maintained a very simplistic glow which was enhancing her beauty. Hidden amongst all that was concern a sense of anxiousness which was conveyed only by her eyes, dadi was continually staring at gauri to make out her feelings, looking into her eyes she saw discomfort and guilt. Gauri could sense dadi staring at her and in response tried to hide her feelings under a smile.
Seeing gauri lost dadaji smiles at her: "are beta kaha kho gayi, chalo aaj tumara janam din hein naa toe tum mere saath breakfast karo…kya pata shayad is bahane muje kuch meetha khane ko miljaye.." dadaji had a really cheeky smile on his face as he looked towards dadi with that comment.
Dadi replys to the comment in an irritated manner whilst Gauri watches in amusement.
Dadi: Mein jaanti hoon ke aap kya chahte hai, yey hein chahte hai naa ke mein apko dher saari mithay kha ne du…toe theek hai" Dadi picks up the plate of jalebies on the table and places them in front of dadaji and gives a pretentious smile…"khayey khayey" Dadaji is now overwellmed with happiness and picks up a jalebi and just as he is about to put it into his mouth..
Dadi: "khaye magar jab aap hospital ke bed mein pade hoge naa tab mein aap ka kyal nahi rakhne waali!"
Dadi's comment puts of dadaji completelty put amussed at his wifes anger he dosnt stop teasing, he looks towards gauri "dekha tumne beta, Gauri very amused and finds the situation really cute, dadi had turned in her seat folded her arms so she wasn't facing dadaji and had the most irritated expression ever.
Dadaji: "kehne ko mein unka pati hoon par bilkul nokaro jaisa salook karti hai, seekye aap ki bahoo se,gauri ko dekhye,shiv ke saamne oochi awaz tak mein baat nahi karti aur aap hai joe batcho ke samne daat rahi ho..arey bhai hamari toe koi aiymehat nahi." Dadaji comment reminded gauri of shiv's words:
tumare nazaro mein meri kya aiymehat hai gauri?..... is baat ka jabvab bhi nahi de sakti naa tum shaadhi ke baad meine tumhe apni zindagi maanleiya magar aaj pata chala ke tumare leyiye mein.. kuch nahi..kuch bhi nahi.."
Saddened by the thought of last nights events, gauri's amused expresstion fades away as she beings to feel her guilt, before she could go any deeper into her thoughts..
Dadaji:"yey saab bate toe hoti rahe gi, magar is saab mein haam gauri ko bhul gaye, ajaon beta betho " dadaji promps gauri to take a seat at the table.
Nahi dadaji woh, meine apni puja nahi ki is leyieye baad mein kha longi
Dadaji smiles at gauri "magar jane se pehle ek minuit yaha ana"
Gauri walks towards the table where they are seated and dada and dadi gets up to give gauri a hug.. "janam din bohot bohot mubarak ho" gauri takes there blessings and just as she is about to walk across out of the dining area towards the puja room Prateek and Kaya enter.
Prateek looked extra cheerful dressed in his usual light blue doctor style shirt holding a bunch of yellow flowers accompanied by kaya who was dressed in a pink saari looked slightly weak put as happy.
Prateek: "Happy birthday to you…happy birthday to you..!!!" prateek's over exited attitude added to gauri's smile, she had never thought that he would be aware of her birthday. Prateek handed the bunch of flowers and wished her happy birthday.
Prateek: "many many happy returns of the day gauri"
Kaya: "aur meri taraf se bhi happy birthday!"
Gauri: "thank you" gauri hugged kaya and whilst doing so kaya took the chance to question gauri..
"sab kuch theek toe hai naa gauri" as gauri pulled away from her she nodded a yes but kaya saw the remains of concern in gauri's eyes and gave an understanding smile. Seeing prateek and kaya there put a smile on gauri's face and she was now beginning to feel out lifted from her worries. Whist prateek's eyes were wondering all around the house for shiv.
Prateek: "Are… shiv kaha hai gauri?????,
Shiv was standing staring out of the window, lost in his thoughts. It looked as if he attempted to get dressed but not finished off, he was standing in a partially buttoned up white shirt with an odd colour tie hanging around his neck untied. He was staring into space lost in thinking about last night's happenings or what he could remember anyway.
meine gauri se ghuse mein itna kuch kehdiya…itna kuch hogaya… when he thought back flashbacks of the events were in front of him, him revealing gauris scars, dragging her to the hotel, her endless crying.. What was I thinking it was only a misunderstanding and the way I reacted….
His thoughts were disturbed by the sound of the wall clock ticking on the hour and when he turned to look at the clock realised he was late and rushed off into the restroom to finished getting ready.
Whilst tidying him self up in the mirror he began to think over his reactions, it was the first time he was feeling so lost or even upset the more he thought about it the more his emotions changed and he came to the conclusion that his approach to the situation last night was maybe not correct but in his eyes his actions were approved he couldn't help it he was Shiv Kapoor and that's just how it was, his anger was something he did not have control over especially when his own wife began to doubting him. Even after last night maybe there was still a hint of bitterness and hurt left within him because gauri's thoughts on him had not changed.
Shiv began to experience a sharp pain in his head and began to rub his forehead, it was all
the alcohol he had consumed last night, it was all having its impact, it was becoming unbearable he was just about to shout for Ramu kaka when he turned around from facing the mirror and his eyes fell on the bedside table he noticed a tray containing a mug which looked to be his morning tea and a glass of what looked like water diluted with medication. Walking towards the table he's eyes fell on both the filled containers and then an envelope propped up on the cups headed:
Mr Kapoor
Shiv picked up the envelope and ripped it open to find a written note and an audio cassette. He unfolded the note to read:
Yey khat meine is leiye likha hai ke shaayad ise par kar aap meri galti maaf kar de, mein jaanti hoon ke Meine apke jasbaado ko thes pochayi hai.
Aap pein shak kiya meine aur janti hoon ke shyaad meri galti maaf karne layak nahi hai.
Aap ko pura haq hai naraz hone ka, aap ne mere leiye itna kuch kya aur mein aapko kuch savalo ke bhi javab naa de saki
Woh javab aab mere paas hai aur kal bhi the, magar shyad darti hoon ke kal jo hua uske baad aapka samna kar paun ya nahi is leiye meine woh kuch bate Is tape par record kar le hai.
Hosake toe muje maaf kardijeeyey, aap ki ghunegar
Gauri
Shiv was touched by what he had just read and even the slightest hint of anger within him had begun to fade. She had apologised when it wasn't her fault alone, sure the fact that she began to doubt him was the cause for his anger but her apology in this way was something unexpected for Shiv. He looked at the letter once more and a soft compassionate expression took over his face.
He looked at the accompanying audio tape, contemplated over it a second and then took it towards the audio player and inserted and pressed the play button.
There was a short pause.. The tape starts to play and Shiv hears gauri's discomfort filled and upset tone of voice:
Mein janti hoon ke aapne apna faisla khat paad kar hein ley lea hogo aur woh jo bhi hoga woh mein apnaane ke leiye tayaar hoon.
Jo shaak meine aap par keiya woh mere leiye koi paap ya ghuna se kaam nahi hai meine us insaan par shaak keiya joe mere leiye bhagvan se baadkar hai.
Aapne poocha tha ke Aapki aimhiyat kya hai mere leiyey..magar shaayad mein aap ko yey lafso mein batasakti.…
aap jante hai us din mandir mein aapke pairo par ek ful tha, us din meine apna vrat mandir mein toda tha woh bhagvan ki puja kar ke nahi joe mandir mein bethe huea the magar inki puja jine mein aapna bhagvan maanti hoon.
Sahee kaha tha aapne, aapke saamne nazare nahi utha paati kyunki insaan haamesha apne bhagvan ke samne sar jukhaakar baat karta hain toe mein kaise……..
Mein aapki zindagi nahi hoon mr kapoor magar aap meri zindagi hai, aap mere leiye saab kuch hai aur aap nahi toe kuch bhi nahi
Aap muje nahi bhi maaf kare toe bhi mein is baat se kush rehloongi ke is faiysle mein aapki marsi hai.
The tape stops. Shiv is stood overwhelmed with emotions; gauri's words were so emotionally touching he was thrown back and felt a sense of regret for questioning her, her words were so meaningful filled with emotions that his feelings for her were nothing in comparison. A single teardrop rolled down his eye as he thought on gauri's words, he was speechless.
The sound of footsteps became apparent and in response composed himself trying to change back in to his usual relaxed posture putting his hands inside his trouser pockets… shiv's room was open and he noticed raamu kaka walk past and stopped him part way.
Shiv: "Kaka" shiv shouted from his room, rammu kaka entered the room.
Kaka: " ji" Ramu kaka noticed the change in shiv'a expression he looked emotionally overwhelmed but was trying to hide under the whole shiv kapoor persona.
Shiv: Yey, yaha kisne rakha?? Shiv made the gesture towards the diluted medicine
Kaka: "Ji woh gauri betya ne kaha tha ke shayaad apki tabyet kuch teekh na ho toe meine usne kehne paar davayee rakh di thi, aur saath mein ek chiti bhi de thi."
Shiv nodded a yes as he reached for his tea to make out that everything was as normal and he had no other altera motive in asking these questions. Just as Shiv was about to swallow down the first gulp of his tea a thought crossed his mind and he paused before drinking.
Shiv: "Gauri ne breakfast kiya?"
Kaka: "Nahi jaha tak mein janta hoon nahi kiya..woh niche prateek sahib aur kayaji ayee hai naa toe,woh log gauri ke janamdin ke baare mein baat kar rahe hai aur jaha tak mein janta hoon.
Shiv: janamdin????
Kaka: "hah aaj gauri ki birthday hai naa"
Shiv: "Birthday…." Shiv had a really astonished look on his face, it was Gauri's birthday and he wasn't even aware of it.
Meanwhile downstairs in the lounge prateek, kaya and gauri are still busy talking in the very same place:
Gauri: "toe aap ko kaise pata chala ke aaj meri birthday hai?"
Prateek: "I'm a doctor gauri, saab kuch janta hoon, everything about everyone" gauri gives prateek a dead disbelieving look.
Prateek: aise kya dekh rahi ho its true mein saab ke baare mein saab kuch janta hoon…ok ok to tell you the truth my secret is patient records,you hein pad raha tha and I noticed ke aaj toe tumara birthday hai..so chala aya. Prateek smiles at gauri. Gauri is just about to respond and carry the conversation on when she sees Shiv making his way down the central staircase.
Gauri: "woh mein abhi ati hoon"
Prateek: "kaha ja rahi ho gauri??"
Gauri: "woh puja kar ne bhul gayee, abhi ati hoom" gauri walks away just before shiv makes his way down to where they were standing.
Shiv: gauri kaha gayi, abhi yahi thi naa?? Shiv was questioning prateek but inside he knew she was avoiding him, he watched her talking to prateek from the staircase and soon as he came down she had disappeared.
Prateek: "Hi shiv good morning, kya baat hai mr shiv kapoor and being late…that's not like you." Prateek noticed how shiv eyes began scan around the house.. "hah gauri woh kuch puja ke baare mein baat kar rahi thi…" before prateek could finish shiv had walked off towards the mandir.
Prateek: "shiv hurry up, were already late!!"
Shiv responds while making his way to the puja room.. "I'm coming"
Prateek is left on his own standing checking his watch.
"huum… saab chod kar chale gaye..and im going to be late"
kaya enters.
Kaya: "kya hua prateek, shiv kaha gaya..???"
Prateek: "I don't know but shaayad gauri se milne"
Kaya: "oh ok…." Prateek and kaya both smiled at each other thinking about how sweet it was that shiv had gone to say bye to gauri when a thought crossed kaya mind..prateek??
Prateek: Hah
Kaya: Shiv aaj office jaa raha hai??
Prateek: "hah, kyun..woh muje hospital drop karne wala tha and now I'm late, anways why do you ask??" Prateek gav kaya a strange questioning look.
kaya: "use pata toe hai naa ke aaj gauri ki birthday hai"
Prateek: "yey of course…I told you to remind him"
Kaya: "I told you to tell him Prateek!"
Kaya and Prateek both looked at each other in sheer disbelief.
Meanwhile in the puja room, Gauri was standing in font of the Shiv murti with her hands folded and eyes shut…the room she was filled with the essence of insense and the atmosphere was peaceful and spirituality.
When gauri opened her eyes she was a reflection of Shiv in the murti and just that moment realised he was standing behind her watching her. Seeing a glimpse of his reflection unexpectedly threw up a slight nervousness in Gauri; she quickly wiped her tears and adjusted her sari which was a little out of place , took a deep breath and turned around with the full intention of avoiding shiv and taking her leave from the room.
Shiv is standing just outside the entrance of the mandir, was stood with his hands tucked within his trouser pockets a crisp white shirt and black suit, purple tie which hung off his neck neatly sparkled and added elegance to his attire and taking away the simplicity of his look and surprisingly complemented the yellow Gauri was dressed in. As usual Shiv had managed to maintain his sophisticated formal look even though his morning routine had been broken. Gauri failed to notice these details as having turned around she kept her head lowered trying to avoid Shiv she focused mainly on the wooden floor in front of her although she did notice shiv's shoes sparkling polished black shoes as she approached the doorway she did not move her sight up from that point. To leave the room she would have to walk past shiv but he was standing blocking the doorway so Gauri stopped leaving distance between them hoping shiv would move out of the way. There was a stunned silence but gauri could feel Shiv staring at her. Shiv didn't know what to say to her, he stood overwhelmed by her beauty she looked so innocent and her confession was so hart felt that Shiv did not know how to respond.
Shiv: ….Happy Birthday Gauri
Gauri looked up at shiv surprised he even knew about her birthday and responded with a nervous.. "Thank you"
Shiv: "Vaise tum ne yey nahi bataya ke tume tofe mein kya chahiyey"
with a little gathered courage she looked up at him and very nearly silently whispered "Aap ki maafi" Gauri responded in a mumbled tone of voice as if one part of her wanted him to hear her and another side of her wanted the moment to pass.
Shiv: "Kya chahiyey???"
Shiv walked towards gauri..hearing his footsteps coming towards her Gauri worried in thinking of would shiv's reaction would be, she wasn't sure if had read her confession and forgiven her or was his anger towards her still prominent. As shiv's footsteps made there way closer Gauri began to feel anxious….
Shiv stopped an inch away looked at the uneasy expression on her face and smiled on how Gauri had closed her eyes when in his last few encounters he had , he knew his presence was making her nervous but he overlooked it..he lent over her a bit closer took his hands out of his pockets and rubbed away the tear droplets which were making there trail down her face.
The moment had frozen for Gauri as she felt the warmth of his fingers wipe away her tears, she began to feel the formation of guse bumps as he touched her. He was so close she could here his breathing and smell the strong aftershave fragrance lingering around her.
Looking at Gauri, shiv noticed how beautifully innocent she looked as well as how stunning yet simplistic, this was the first time he was looking at her in this way and he noticed every single detail from her sindoor filled maang and wet hair to her beautiful facial features, but he couldn't help it, he was drawn towards her the glow on her face was breathtaking..
Shiv took a step closer and placed a kiss on her forehead his touch made Gauri shiver and move away slightly he could feel her anxiety and looking at, he pulled up her chin and looked at her closed eyes and gave a smile. "anken kholo gauri" there was a pause and a few seconds later gauri opened her eyes to find shiv staring she tried to look away from him but had held of her chin and she could no longer avoid his stair, she was forced into looking into his eyes.
Shiv: "I'm sorry Gauri" just then they were interrupted..
There was a Knock at the door….. Hearing It shiv pulled away from gauri trying to act as if everything was normal where as gauri was still stunned by what had happened and nervously quite. Shiv looked towards the door to see ramu kaka standing In the door way holding a tray carrying a glass of orange juice.
Kaka: "Yey aapne juice mangaya tha"
Shiv: "hah kaka please..aye" kaka enters and shiv takes the juice from him.
Kaka: "Aur koi kaam tha"
Shiv:No thank you..aap ja sakte hai raamu kaka leaves.
Shiv turns to gauri holding the glass in his hand.."yey lo"
Gauri looks up at him to find him prompting the glass towards her, she looks at him with a confused expression and shiv smiles at her and she looks away in anxiousness.
Shiv: "Woh tumne breakfast nahi kiya naa is leiye"
Gauri still gives no response.. and starts to stumble with her words.
Gauri: "Woh mein..abhi nahi"
Shiv: "Kyun abhi kyun nahi ???" shiv looks at her questioningly, now what was wrong.
"Woh" gauri eyes start searching the room and she looks back at her puja plate that she had left behind on the alter.
Shiv: "Kya hua?", gauri walks back to the murti and picks up her puja plate and shiv watches her every move with a confused look on his face as she watches her walk back to where he was standing.
Just like the day in the mandir Gauri bent down and placed a flower and touched shiv's feet, Shiv stood overwhelmed as looked at Gauri lent down at his feet, he picked her up looking at her he was speechless for a second he just stared at her thinking upon how much she must actually love him to even behave in that way, think of him in such a respect, it was more than just formality it was love and maybe even she was obvious to it.
Shiv: "Ab toe pee sakti ho naa shiv smiled at gauri." Gauri put her hand forward to take the glass from Shiv but shiv pulled it away and gauri looked up at him surprised.
"Aise nahi, tumhe mere haatho se peena hoga…"
Gauri looked at him anxiously..shiv responded to her expression with a smile and put the glass of juice up towards gauri's mouth so she could drink from it, gauri felt shy nervous but with hesitance did as shiv told her to and drank the juice and having finished it stood silently still trying to avoid shiv looking everywhere but at him to avoid any other situations which would plunge her into more anxiety..
Shiv: "gauri mein kal tumse kuch kehna chahta tha, jo keh nahi paya…mein janta hoon ke haamara rishta abhi juda hai aur kaafi problems ke baad haam still ek dusre ke leiye.. you know haam. All I want to say is ke muje lagta hai ke tumse….. tumse .."
Shiv had not yet finished an interrupting cough was heard from the entrance of the room.
"Erhum….. sorry to interrupt
agar aap dono ka romance khatam hogaya ho toe, shiv haam chale.
Prateek and kaya were standing at the doorway smiling.
In his mind shiv was cursing prateek for turning up at the very moment and ruining it all ise abhi hein ana tha!! ! Prateek could tell from shiv's annoyed expression that he had messed things up for him but he was just amused by it on the other hand gauri was feeling really uncomfortable and not to mention embarrassed.
Shiv looks at prateek with the most irritated expression and then hides it with a smile.
Shiv: "yey lets go"
Precap: gauri was successful in making her confession but will it be the same for shiv, will he be able to tell gauri about his feelings..finish off his incomplete words and if so what will gauri make of it.
