Mjht ff- INTEZAAR-EK EK PAL KE EHSAAS KI Updtd Pg 9

2010.
Mumbai.

A
couple is at the airport. They looked excited. They got through the
security check in and sat in the waiting lounge.

The
woman made calls and then turned to her husband- Mayank. I am so
excited! USA! Sapno ki desh! New York, hum aa rahe hain! (She
squeezed his arm)

Mayank
smiled at her and put his arm around her- Mrs. Sharma,
Congratulations to you too!

Nupur-
Kyon?

Mayank-
Ek aur surprise tumhare liye!

Nupur-
Kya?

Mayank-
Mere verjade tum tumhari Delhi ki management training aage nahi le
sake thei. Toh maine tumhari liye ek management trainee ki post ke
liye apply ki, tumhari naam mein.

Nupur
stared at Mayank- Kya? (Tears welled in her eyes) Mayank?

Mayank-
Results aayega!

His
wife hugged him and broke apart- Toh tum chaahte ho ki main aage
baru?

Mayank
nodded- Mein humesha chaahta hoon ki tum aage baro, Nupur.

Nupur-
(Smiing) Thanks Mayu!

The
announcement for the flight came and the couple got up. When they got
aboard, Nupur dialled a number.

A
couple was in a car. The man was driving. The girl beside him was
almost dozing off. He smiled at her and suddenly her phone rang.

She
woke up with a start- Hello Di? (She switched on the speakerphone,
while looking at the man) Di aur Jiju plane mein hain! (to the phone)
Di! Happy journey!

Nupur's
voice- Haan Gunjan! Thank you! Tum sab bhi khayal rakho apne aap se!
Samrat! Meri behen ki khayal rakhna!

The
man behind the wheels smiled- Haan meri hone waali saali! Karna toh
hoga!

Mayank's
voice (Nupur had switched on the speakerphone too)- Guys! Apna padai
acchi tarase complete karna! Take care!

Nupur-
Uff ho Mayank! Tum bhi na! Sadu!

Samrat
and Gunjan exchanged amused looks.

Gunjan-
Accha di! Jhagda mat karo!

After
the phone was hung up, Gunjan looked at Samrat- Mujhe biswaas nahi ho
rahe hain! Kitna sab hua hai! Jab di aur main Morena se Mumbai aayi,
humme kabhi pata nahi tha ki zindagi aise mod lega! Humaare pyar, di
aur jiju ki shaadi, aur hummare engagement aur un dono ki USA safar
ki shuruwat!

Samrat-
Aur Candy and Benji ki new relationship!

Gunjan
smiled.

Samrat-
Chashmish. Main chaahta hoon ki tum acting karo.

Gunjan
got startled- Par Samrat!...

Samrat-
Chashmish. Niel mujhe mere jo 500 crore rupees cheque diya, woh main
waapus karna chaahta hoon. Niel ko maine phone kiya thanks dene ke
liye aur mujhe pata chala ki jo kuch footage tumne shoot ki woh phir
se reshoot karna bahut hi mushkil hai. Ek producer achaanak tumhaari
kuch scene dekha aur impressed hui.

Gunjan
shook her head- Nahi Samrat,

Samrat-
Chashmish. Ab hum ek saath hai, zindagi bhar. Aur Niel humaare beech
kabhie aa nahi sakta. Please. I promise we wont have any problems in
future.

Gunjan
looked at her fiance- Aur humaare padai? Humaare pyar?

Samrat-
Sab kuch hoga! (He smiled at her assuringly) Ab tum Candy ko batao ki
Nupur chalein gaye.

Gunjan
smiled and nodded.

The
car then took a turn, and soon went down a road. Up somewhere, a
plane was soon seen in the sky.

Eight
Years Later...

New
York is bustling with energy. People are busy. Traffic is quite high.

In a
sky scraper building, a man is standing at a large French window
overlooking the New York landscape. He was in his grey tuxedo, his
hands in his pockers, as he gazed at the road many floors down.
Behind him was his large office cubicle. His cellphone rang and he
turned around. On a table was a picture of him with a woman and a
little boy. He picked up the phone kept beside the photo.

Yes
Marium?'

A
woman's voice asked- Darling when are you coming over tonight?
Brian wants to make sure you will make it in time for his party!'

The
man smiled and assured her he will be there.

Just
then a secretary knocked and peeped in through the door- Mayank
sir?'

The
man looked up, absent mindedly fingering a plate on his table, on
which was written Mr Mayank Sharma, Ceo. NetAd Pvtd Ltd

The
secretary informed him that Mrs Sharma was on the line.

Mayank
nodded his head and picked up the landline phone, punched in the
extension number- Hello Ma!'

Miles
away, in London, a dog was playing a catching game with a little
girl. She was thrilled and squealed away. In the distance three
people sat on the park bench, observing the scene and enjoying it.

One
man- Guys. Ice cream?

A
woman- Sure! Chocolate for Mini and me! (She turned to the other man)
And you?

The
other man- Stawberry for me and Riana!

First
man- Riana yaha aa rahi hai?

Second
man- Haan. Bas do minute mein!

The
first man nodded and got up to buy icecreams. His 7 year old daughter
Mini suddenly came up- Dad where are you off to?

Man-
Buying icecreams!

Mini-
I will come with you! (Calls her dog) Miko! Here boy!

The
other man and the woman gazed at the father-daughter and the dog
going off.

Man-
Suhani. Mini is growing up so fast!

Suhani
smiled and agreed.

Just
then another woman joined them- Samrat!

Samrat-
Riana! (He got up and hugged Riana) Come sit with us! Adhiraj is
bringing icecreams for us!

Riana
greeted Suhani and sat down. Samrat Shergill sat down beside her and
she turned to him- Baby, you look so tired!

Riana-
Yes honey. Being in this job is so tough! You are lucky you and
Suhani have a family business!

Suhani
laughed- O come on, doing that is equally tough!

Adhiraj
and Mini joined in and the icecreams were distributed among the
group.

Another
many more miles away, in Melbourne, a couple was in a car with a
child at the back. The man who was at the wheels was listening
quietly to the woman beside him. She was talking no-stop till he
snapped- Will you shut up for a few minutes?

The
woman glared at him- Kam se kam humaare beta ke saamne iss tarase
baat mat karo!

Man-
Nupur, Woh tumhari beta hai, mera nahi!

Nupur
looked behind to see whether her 6 year old son was listening, but
little Raj was fast asleep. She turned to the man- Rounak, I beg you
not to talk like that in front of him. He adores you!

Rounak-
I want a kid of my own too! Aur kab tak wait Karwaoge?

Nupur
Bhushan trailed off into her own world. Rounak got exasperated at
that and decided to ignore her.

Back
in Mumbai, at a shooting location, a few young teenagers approached a
lady sitting in her chair, reading her scripts. She looked up and
they sheepishly smiled, as they held out their papers for autographs.
Gunjan Bhushan was feeling tired but she smilingly obliged. They kept
requesting for photos with her till her manager came and shooed them
off. Gunjan plopped into her chair and asked her manager, Meera, what
the next thing was on her programme.

Meera-
Your Bui called me to cancel today's dinner at Splasher Club with
your friend.

Gunjan-
(Alarmed)- Kyon?

Meera- Gaurav is coming over.

Gunjan
groaned- You should have told Bui the dinner was for my career!

Meera-
Bui somehow always makes me blurt out the truth, Gunjan! Am sorry!

Gunjan
clasped her head thoughtfully.

Meera-
Gunjan, Delhi se phone aaya hai.

Gunjan's
face lit up- Dia?

Meera
handed Gunjan's cellphone over, and added- Your Bauji is insisting
on your returning as early as possible. Gaurav's family and a
Pandit are coming over as well.

Gunjan-
Meera. Please call Mridula for me and tell her to be with me today.

Meera
nodded understandingly and moved aside. Gunjan dialled a number,
waited and cried out with delight- Dia!

Dia
Bhushan, her husband of five years Benji Benjamin and her two year
old daughter Tasha lived in Delhi's posh locality. Dia joined her
husband's start up business, dealing with designing and decorating
interiors and exteriors of important venues.

After
talking to her cousin, Dia entered her living room to see her brother
Uday and his fiance Natasha excitedly discussing how their marriage
will be in Goa. Around a month was left to the D-day.

Dia
smiled and sat down beside her brother- Dodo.

Uday-
Yes Didz!

Dia-
Gunjan se baat hui. Nupur se bhi baat hoga.

Uday-
Woh dono aaega, na?

Dia-
Hope so. Lekin eklauta kareebi bhai ho tum. Zaroor aayega!

Natasha-
(Hesitantly) Aur... Aur Samrat and Mayank?

The
Bhushan siblings looked at each other and sighed.

Dia-
Pata nahi. Benji baat karega. Am sure Sammy shayad aayega. Lekin
Mayank? Mujhe nahi lagta! Nupur aur Gunjan aa rahi hai yeh baat unhe
pata hai.

Natasha
nodded her head silently.

Dia-
Humaare shaadi ke dauran sab ke sab alag hui (Looks at her brother)
Kya pata... Tumhara shaadi shayad lucky hoga!

Uday
put his hand on her shoulder- Didz please aise mat kaho! Tumhaari
shaadi bilkul bhi unlucky nahi hai, balki problems toh uske pehle se
shuru hui thi.

Dia-
Dodo. Kya timimg tha. Humaare shaadi ki waqt yehi hona tha! Aaj tak
hummein yeh nahi pata chala ki aisa kya hua tha, kaunsa triggerpoint
hui jo sab alag hui!

Uday-
Didz. Please. Problems tumhari shaadi ki baad hui, uski dauran nahi.
Aur problems toh pehle se hi thei.

Benji
(Coming in with his daughter in his arms)- Dia. Samrat se baat hui.

Uday
and Dia looked at each other and then at Benji.

Benji-
Mayank aur Samrat aur Suhani bhi aayenge! Aakhir humaare Dodo ki
shaadi hai, by god!

Dia
smiled and Uday pretended to glare.

Dia-
How did you manage to convince them?

Benji's
face turned red- Maine ek jhoot bola.

His
wife leapt up- Kya?

Benji-
Yehi ki tumhaari do behenai nahi aayegi!

Dia
was furious but Natasha got up and shyly suggested that perhaps it
was for the best.

Dia-
Nahi Natasha. They all have moved on. Kyon puraane baatein phir se
dillao?

Uday-
Dia kam se kam shayad kuch accha hoga!

Dia
looked at everyone and sighed out- Theek hain. I hope so. I hope ki
dodo ki shaadi phir se sab ko ek saath laatein hain. Par sab ke
zindagi mein koi aur hain. Mayank- Marium, Samrat-Riana.
Nupur-Rounak. Aur ab shayad Gunjan-Gaurav ...

Everyone
looked at each other, with mixed feelings.
