Puja ka samay hone wala hai aur sab yahan khade hokar batao mein lage hain.

Chal Abir jaa andar jaake Babu ki madad kar.

Rajeev beta aap bhi andar aao.

Acha laga aapko yahan dekh ke.

Aayiye na andar. Puja mein shamil hoyiye.

Chalo andar aao.

Baaki baatein baad mein kar lena.

“Ji,Bua.” I said before heading to the mandir. I made sure to give a glare to Rajveer before leaving.

Chalo re sab Puja ka samay ho gaya hai.

Sab aao idhar.

Bahu Puja mein Tu hi baithegi.

Chalo baith jao.

Hum sabse zyada Tu aqdaar hai iss ki.

Koi rok tok nahi bahu

Baith jao chup chap.

After ordering I went and stood behind.

It's time for Puja muhurat where everyone is gathered near the mandir area and Bua asked me to come forward to do Puja as she feels I am worthy of it. Upon Bua's imperation, I went forward and sat for Puja remembering the words of Anmol Ji who's not here now. After that, Pandit asked me to do Maha aarti. I stood up and took the thaal and went in front of the idol to perform aarti but Pandit ji interrupted, "Beta, rukho tumhe aarti akele nahi balke apne pati ke saath karni padegi. Akele Puja karna apshagun hai. Aayiye beta, apni biwi ke saath Puja kijiye", he claimed with sternness.

I stood numb, holding the thaal with an utmost restlessness and discomfort. A man held the other end of thaal and it's none other than " Abir Singhania ", as soon as he holded the thaal tears filled my eyes but my lips were sealed with vows I have given to Anmol Ji. We together did the aarti with different emotions entangling both of them. Abir noticed my tears and took away his hands from thaal. " Puja samapt hui ", said Pandit ji.

"Main aapko iss ke liye kabhi maaf nahi karungi Anmol ji", I exclaimed to myself with tears of disappointment.

Abir got the thaal from me and kept it aside but destiny has some other plans. Aditi came running between to take the prasad from the thaal unintentionally hitting the thaal in Abir's hand where the sindoor in the thaal got splashed into Pooja's maang indirectly as destiny's wish. Both Abir and Pooja looked shocked. Abir ji gave a helpless and anguished expression while I was still under trance as what had happened just now..

"Arey yeh toh bhagwaan ka ashirwaad hai beti. Sada suhagan rahogi tum. Aur tumhaari shadi vardaan hai bhagwaan ki taraf se. Kuch raho", said Pandit ji

I immediately left the place with tears and ran to Anmol Ji's room and locked the door from inside leaving Bua ji and Abir ji in tense and worrisome faces..

Ashirwad nahin Panditji, yeh rishta shraap hai is parivaar ke liye, I thought.

How can this relationship be a Ashirwad when all it did was take a families joy? How can it be a ashirwad when it took away Pooja’s love and comfort that she found after years of torture? No! This is a shraap , a shraap bestowed on us unfairly by the god!

Main jaanti hoon bahu pe kya beet rahi hogi.

Abir zara mehmaanon ko acche se vida karke aaja.

Ae bhagwan yeh sab kya ho raha hai mere ghar mein.

Kaise sulajhenge iss ghar ke rishte?

Ab Tu hi kuch kar bhagwaan

Jai Shri Krishn.

After an oppression and unwilling incident, I came running to Anmol ji's room since after three years, this is the only day where I could muster courage to come here to seek answers to my questions, to seek solace for my untold miseries, to seek appease to my inner turmoil and to avenge myself to take revenge for that incident which took place, three years ago. The incident which drew away my happiness, the incident which awestruck my destiny, the incident which took away my dreams and wishes, the incident which seized my desire to live, the incident which tied me with disinclined knot of relationship and the incident which took away the righteous to spell as Mrs. Pooja Anmol Singhania..

I stood in front of Anmol Ji's photo hanging on the wall. " Kyun kiya mere saath apne aisa Anmol ji? Kyun? Kyun mujhse aisa vachan le liya jise nibhane ke liye main roz marti hoon? Kyun mujhe aisa bandhan baandne ko kaha jise mein nibha nahi sakungi? Kyun mujhe aap ne apne kasmein se baandh liya? Kyun aap ka pyaar kisi aur ke saath banth diya? Kyun? Yeh maan liya apne mujhse Anmol Ji jise chaha kar bhi main pura nahi kar paungi. Kya soch ke apne itna bada faisla uthaya, ah?kyun mere haathon ki lakeeron ko kisi aur ke saath jhod ke chale gaya aap?. Mujhe akela karke chale gaye aap? Akela.. aap ki Pooja akeli ho gayi Anmol Ji, akeli ho gayi", I crouched on the floor with a shattered heart and tears rolling down the cheeks.

"Colonel Mr. Anupam Avasti ke khilaaf ke gayi saazish ke liye, unn par galat ilzam lagane ke liye, unn ki biwi aur choti beti ko maarne ke ilzam pe Mr. Veer Aditya Singh ko guilty sabit karte hue yeh court unhe phansi ki saza sunati hai. Aur Advocate Anmol Singhania ko apni kaabiliyat aur bahaaduri ke liye aur 10 saal se bandh aur uljha hua case ko suljane ke liye yeh court unneh promotion deti hai. We are proud of you, advocate Anmol", said the magistrate with esteem and gratification. Me along with his whole family is watching everything happily sitting at the back. My eyes filled with tears of happiness and an utmost respect for solitary and passion.

"Well, thank you Sir, I am honoured for setting up the standard of your belief. Main puri koshish karunga ke har wo insaan ko insaaf dilwaon jo nyaay ke liye taras raha hai. Har woh ladki jo aaj bhi samaaj ke benakaab dhayron se joonj rahi usse nyaay aur iss samaj mein izzat dilwake rahunga. Chahe mujhe iske liye kuch bhi kyun na karna padhe, apni jaan bhi kyun na dena padhe. I will fight for justice and I will live for justice", said Anmol with literally a fire in her eyes. We are happy listening to his words and I am so proud to meet a person in life who wants to live for others. He turned around with happy tears in his eyes, got blessings from Bua and hugged his brother Abir who is the reason for his confident victories and happiness in life. "Thank you Bhai for everything. Hamesha mere saath dene ke liye. Meri thaqat bane rehne ke liye. Thank you yaar bhai. Aap sab chaliye main Pooja ke saath aata hoon peeche", said Anmol with a sigh of relief and bliss. "Acha theek hai main Bua aur Aditi ke saath bahar parking area mein wait karte hain. Jaldi aane tum dono thodi baatein ghar mein bhi jaake kar lena", said Abir with a smile tapping him on his back.

"Toh pooja tum khush toh hona yaar? Mujhe pata hai ke tum khush ho lekin tumhare muh se sunna chahta hoon. Lekin usse pehle main tumhe yeh bata doon ke main aaj bahut bahut khush hoon. Meri zindagi ki sabse badi jeet hai yeh aur sabse bada case. Jeetna toh mujhe tha hi. Agar main yeh case har jaata toh saath mein tum bhi haarti aur uske saath saath tumhare juzbaat aur ummeedein bhi haar jaati. Main tumhe haar ne kaise de sakta yaar. Meri har ek jeet ka gurur bana na chahta hoon main tumhe. Kise pata kal tum mere liye ladogi.!! Waise meri iss jeet ke badle mujhe kya milega tumse sirf aansu aur kuch nahi. Aansu nahi Pooja please. Aaj ke baad yeh aansuon se rishta thod do tum. Khusiyan tumhe dastak de rahi, uska swaagat nahi karogi kya yaar?", exclaimed Anmol with a smile pulling Pooja's cheeks notoriously and wiping her tears..

"Anmol ji main khush kyun nahi hongi? Aaj jaake mere zinda rehna ka maqsad pura hua hai. Aur apne mere maqsad ko apni zindagi ki zidd banayi aur mujhe jeet bhi dilaayi. Main aap ko bata nahi sakti main aaj kitni khush hoon. Meri jeet aapse jhudi hai Anmol Ji, main nahi haarungi aur na aap ko haarane dungi. Hamari haar aur jeet ek dusre se jhudi huwi hai. Aur yeh aansu khushi ke hain. Isse beh jaane dijiye taake phir yeh kabhi na ghir sake. Jabse aap se rishta jhoda hai inn aansuon se kab ka rishta toot chuka hai mera. Nahi ghirenge ye aansoo mere ab. Waise mere paas aap ke liye ek cheez hai dene ko, Ghar jaake dungi aap ko. ghar chaliye aap", I responded to Anmol Ji with a smile and turned my face away from his eye contact. " Aaj mein bhi aap se apne pyaar ka izhar karna chahti hoon Anmol ji. Haan pyar ka izhar aur main jaanti hoon ke aapse zyada iss duniya mein mujhse pyar nahi kar sakta, koi nahi", I expressed to my heart and inner peace of mind.

"Pooja kya kaha tumne? Ke tum mujhe kuch dena chahti ho, right? Kya? Matlab kya dena chahti ho? Kaho na yaar Pooja. Mujhse intezaar nahi ho raha. Matlab meri wife mujhe aaj pehli baar kuch dena chahti ho aur mujhe wait karna hoga, that's not fair yaar. Lagta hai aaj God mujhpe zyada hi meherbaan hai. Batao na yaar kya dena chahati ho kya pata tumhe phir mauka hi na mile kehna ka aur mujhe sunne ka", Anmol replied in a most excited tone. But Rajeev interrupted there, "Congratulations Anmol mere yaar, mere dildaar, kya padha tune aaj yaar. I am proud of my friend. Congratulations bhabhi aap ka yeh banda cha gaya aaj. Aaj ki jeet toh aap ke naam ki hogi na iss ne? Arey yaar teri yeh jeet ka arpan mujhe bhi chahiye ", said Rajeev. Bua yelled from there, "Arrey! Chalo re, Ghar jaake baat kar lena. Aisi kya baat kar rahe ho tum dono. Chalo ghar chalo"..

"Chalo Pooja jaise tum chahti Ghar jaake baat karte hain ab toh Bua ka bhi aadesh aa gaya. Acha yaar Rajeev kal milte hai court mein. Ab main chalta hoon. Bye…… ", affirmed Anmol. Anmol walked happily with extreme happiness holding Pooja's hands. Abir approached us, kya kar rahe tum dono? Baaki baatein Ghar jaake kar lena mere Bhai. Yehi pe sab khatam karne ka iraada hai kya janab, chalo? ", he said teasingly. But, the happiness seems to be a very short one. It's a silence of happiness before the storm. We are talking nicely and comfortably for the first time but a sharp bullet pointed out at Anmol hitting on his chest right away and consequently another two bullets shot him in the same place leading him to lose his balance. Everyone is shocked and faces turned pale and the entire happiness just splashed away like ashes within minutes. Anmol's head was in Abir's lap holding his hand and the other hand was held by Pooja firmly. Bua and Aditi sat down beside him shedding their tears vigorously. Everyone is just shattered and couldn't spell out even a single word.

"Kaha tha na yaar Pooja bata do jo batana hai. Phir waqt nahi milega dekho yeh waqt khel gaya aur mujhe tumse durr le gaya hamesha hamesha ke liye. Shayad meri kismat mein woh sunna tha hi nahi ya phir uss pe mere haaq tha nahi. Bhai aap ka yeh chote jaa raha hai Bhai. Bua ab aap ko tangh karne wala koi nahi hoga na. Mere paas zyaada waqt nahi hai isiliye sab suno meri baat ek aakhri baat aur ek aakhri khwaish… He holder Pooja's hand and gave it in Abir's hand with a soul promise, "Bhai aur Pooja aap dono mujhse vaada kijiye ke aap dono ek saath khush rahenge, ek dusre ka saath denge, ek dusre ko kabhi akela nahi chodenge. Hamesha ek dusre ke saath khade rahenge zindagi ke har mod pe aur har safar mein. Vaada kijiye aap dono mujse. Naa mat kaho aap dono jaane wale ko aise ruqsat karoge kya? Bhai yeh lijiye yeh mere khoon se Pooja ki maang bhar dijiye aur mujhe haaste vida kijiye aap sab log. Mere paas waqt nahi dekh kya rahe aap bhai. Bhariye na Pooja ki maang aur muje vachan dijiye ke aap meri Pooja ka hamesha khayal rakhenge, Bhai mere saanse mere saath chod ne se pehele meri yeh aakhri wish poori kardo na yaar", exclaimed with such exhaled and exhausted passing out tone. He started sinking as when Abir filled Pooja's Vermilion with tears of displeasure and unwillingness where Pooja went on a fix and trauma seeing Anmol in an extreme pathetic state. As soon as Abir filled her Vermilion, Anmol breathed his last and his soul left the embarking journey behind with a smile of happiness..

( ***the flashback end here***) …

"Anmol ji"...... I screamed and broke out of my trance and couldn't believe what had happened three years ago the same day.. Destiny played a good hide and seek with my fortune. Bestowed everything and seized everything within a short period of time. Everything changed within a fraction of seconds. I wanted to view this world as Mrs. Anmol Singhania but life took a different turn and symbolized me as Mrs. Pooja Abir Singhania. I looked at Anmol's picture on the wall once again saying, "Aapka woh faisla mujhe aaj bhi bahut taklif deta hai Anmol ji, Bahut taklif aur isske liye main aap ko kabhi maaf nahi karungi. Kabhi nahi", I exclaimed with an utmost exhausted tone. On the other hand, I looked into mirror which reflected the splashes of Sindoor on my forehead.. I went to the bathroom immediately and stood under the cold shower like a numb and soulless persona hailing to erase the shades of Indisposed colors failing to realize the destiny's ploy…

Aditi is continuously knocking the door and I was sitting like a dead soul inside.

As I heard knocking the door, I came out of the washroom. I opened the door, where I saw Aditi standing with an utmost fear and eyes filled with tears. " Mumma aap theek ho, aap ro rahe ho? ", she questioned with mere care wiping my tears.

"Mumma, theek hai Aditi. Aap jao neeche apne Papa ke paas ya phir Dadi Bua ke paas. Mumma aap se baad mein baat karegi. Theek hai", I replied to Aditi in a sorrowful voice.

I locked up the door again, switching off the lights and sat down near the bed facing Anmol Ji's photo in the wetted clothes trembling reminiscing the incident and words of Anmol again and again while bloody tears rolling down the cheeks emoting only one statement, " Kyun kiya aap ne mere saath aisa Anmol Ji, kyun maanga aisa vachan mujhse? "...

Everyone is leaving the mansion but I stopped Rajeev as I need to discuss something.

Rajeev beta zara rukho, mujhe tum se kuch baat karni hai.

Woh Anmol ke baare mein.

Kaise jaa raha hai uske case ki sunwai?

Kab milega usse insaaf hamein insaaf?

Kab pakdenge yeh police wale uss kathil chamboor ko?

Kuch kar bhi rahe hai yaa nahi woh log.

Jaante haina beech majhdhaar mein maara gaya hai mere chote ko.

Toh teen saal hogaye lekin ek kathil ko nahi pakad sake aap log.

Kya kar rahe hai aap log baith ke tamasha dekh rahe hai ke

Kaise woh mujrim ghoom raha hai hamari sadko pe?

Aakhir kab tak intezaar karna padega hamein? Batao beta

Kab tak Bahu yunhi ghoot thi rahegi?

Kab tak hum sab yunh ladte rahenge aise hi?

Kab tak yun gumsum baithe rahenge hum re baba?

Main ab Kuch nahi jaanti jitni Jaldi ho sakhe yeh case ko suljhayiye.

Mujrim ko saza dilaao Rajeev beta.

Usse phansi pe chadao.

Ab hum aur intezaar nahi kar sakte.

Aur hum Isse zyada apni bahu ko tadapte hue nahi dekh sakte.

Aap mujhse vada kijiye ke aap jald se jald Anmol ko insaaf dilaayenge

Bas.
