Scene V

It was their 1st anniversary and Vansh said that she should get ready as he wanted to show her something. And here in room she was in flux to do what? Just then Ammo came and said “Bai Ji, it’s your chance to common normal life. Take it; I know it’s hard to trust someone when he has broken your trust so many times. But you also wanted a dead do us apart kind of marriage so now this what it matters. Go for the chance and make him your Kunwar Saab, tell the world that you are Riddhima Vansh Rai Singhania.”

She took her chance and got dressed in red banarasi saree with purple blouse. He took her the balcony where she saw a large cloth covering a segment of balcony so Bai Ji removed and found that there was huge cage with innumerable love birds of all colours, he said “When I was visiting your father recently, I saw over there that your father was tending to pigeons,he only told that you like birds. So, after a lot of thought, I thought its best to get you some as other way also you get bored over here.”

“But I don’t like caging them.” Bai Ji said in small voice

“Ok, then no problem we can free them” he said moving towards the cage.

“Can I free them one at a time, but then how much I will miss them” Bai Ji said in childlike whisper. For the first time in their wedding,he saw the girl in front of him to not be someone who was 29 but a teenager craving for love, he can’t even imagine his life being brought in house filled with 7 sisters and 2 brothers, he always had more than enough attention in his life.

“Don’t worry I will refill them till the time you either get bored with petting birds or with setting them free.” He said good humourly,where he realised that his small gesture opened the doors of her heart in a manner which he cannot see. It was first crack in their wall of separation. As she hugged him by herself and drawing happiness from his posture, she may be really strong but she has now decided to lean to him.

After this incident their room was always full of chirps of birds and many times of peals of her laughter. Sometimes Vansh use to imagine how both of them sounded so similar to his ears. Now she smiled more often and laughing would be correct word. As promised, he kept his word and the cage was always full of birds, small colourful birds. To see the birds most of the time his room was now flocked by the female brigade of haveli. From maids to his Maa now everybody would be there pampering the birds.

Riddhima now also involved herself with Ammo and both of them together kept the royalty of this haveli still alive. They were still busy with community school in morning to sorting some miniscule problems of estate and then they will be just together reading books.

Vansh sometimes just wanted to thank Ammo to be there when they were at their worst. Because it was just only due to Ammo their marriage stayed. And now the situation was that even his parents loved Bai Ji more than him. Now the whole haveli would like “Bhaiya, Bai Ji ko bhejiyega kuch kaam hai.” But still he was not free from his guilt about how he treated her.

“Please, let be a husband to you only for today. I know it’s your birthday. You only wanted this relationship to work. So, give a chance for repentance.” He said being teary eyed as he felt how badly he had wronged this girl.

“Only at one condition, we will never discuss the past again and live our lives fuller of new hope. And you will stay my husband till the end of our lives” Riddhima said emotionally.

Bai Ji just turned and took the saree to the dressing room and opening her wardrobe started searching accurate blouse. Just when she was about to pull a full sleeve black velvet blouse. Bai Ji felt him near her saying “I know you are the elder daughter-in-law but that doesn’t mean you always need to dress up royally. It’s just you and me so you can go with more eased look, but only if you want. By the way, the saree had its blouse too.It’s in another bag.” With that he left the room so that Bai Ji had privacy to change.

Bai Ji came down wearing the silver saree with pink-purple halter neck blouse. Her curls were lying on one of her shoulders.With that Bai Ji only wore jhumkis and under bustier diamond band. Bai Ji was smiling shyly that only he noticed that Bai Ji had some marks in her upper arms, they were dark marks of something like scratch marks. He decided to inquire about them but later. For now, they needed to be with each other.

He took her to their estate near a river where there lied a mattress in garden with bon fire and under the stars while bubbling sound of water rustled, he just said “Sorry, I have no idea to celebrate some one’s birthday. I thought that you are always so full of people that you would like this.”

They just sat down enjoying the starry night, after awhile he said “May ask you something’s about your life? I never tried to know each other. So, let’s start with that. You toh know that I am studied from top universities of India and joined business after completing my studies 10 years back.”

The night was quite they both just sat and talked and talked about each other lives. This was the first time they just had talks like friends and came to know many hidden traits of each other’s personality.

The natural graduation in their relationship progressed;she just slipped calling him “Kunwar Saab” as like all other wives called their husbands. Like now all the household including himself called her “Bai Ji”

The first time he realised that he earned back “Kunwar Saab” he was so ecstatic that he said to call him that once again which she did unconsciously and then when she realised, she blushed like a ripe cherry and was silent throughout the day.

The room now showed signs of cohabitation, from mini fights over covers to now room had a huge picture of them framed and put in their personal library where she is holding him by arms and looking at him curiously where he looking at her lovingly. The photo that was clicked when he was taking her to see their anniversary gift

Scene VI

As he entered after one of the pooja at home, he saw Riddhima sleeping in the bed looking exhausted, she did get tired as it is never easy to be the Bai Ji of the Rai Singhania Haveli, she has totally dissolved herself in haveli, and now she sleeps, it was one of the cotton sarees she wears while she sleeps

“Kunwar Saab, you here. Needed anything” she said gently sitting in the bed and positioning her saree properly over her head and putting her wet hairs in back side

He could see and drown in the feeling that he is the only one who could see her like that, so keeping the towel in foot of bed, he just came close to her and said “Nothing, just was trying to wipe your hairs as I felt that they would give you cold.”

Bai Ji just took the towel and gently rubbing in her hairs said “Actually I was really tired after the ceremonies so decided to sleep the way it is. Sorry, I troubled you.”

“No, Riddhima, you never trouble me. And I should be actually sorry for breaking your sleep. Actually, I am going on trip tomorrow,can I hold you today? I know you never deny me anything but it’s just that I cannot even think of touching you without your consent. As I still somewhere in fear that just like last time. When I return from the trip, I will find my room empty as my heart. That time I could tolerate without you but now it’s breaking. Please join me for trip. You know Maa still joins Papa for trips.” He said blabbering as he wanted to savour every moment spent with her in his heart forever. Bai Ji saw the child in him wanting to keep his toy with him.

She would love to travel with him but she had her own responsibilities and it was her responsibilities that tied him to this house.She lovingly looked at him and said “I would love to join but can’t because I think that I join you, then you may not be able to concrete on work. Plus, I need to stay here. You go tension free. It’s the word of Bai Ji of this mansion”

He returned to see his room was empty, he got scared but he had faith that if Bai Ji said she would not leave, then he also needs to understand that faith. So, he decided to change after changing, he started to move outside room when felt someone is in balcony. He was shocked to see that Bai Ji was there sleeping in one of cane couches and the noise was of her bangles. Her body was protectively wound under the shawl and Bai Ji was looking leaner. Bai Ji looked very tired and exhausted; he saw her wearing a green saree which had huge butterflies of red and blue colour. Same full sleeve blouse. He sometimes wished that Bai Ji didn’t wore them but Bai Ji wearing it and covering her arms yet her super deep backs gave ample amount of warmth to him as whenever they are together, he always rubbed his hands with her back away other.

As he touched her, he found her a little paler and colder than regular, though she had a cool body and a very pale colour of skin yet she looked as someone sick, he couldn’t understand that whether it’s his over thinking or she had been ill.

He picked her up and made her rest in the bed and decided that he will look into the matter later because in his 1 year of marriage this never happened that he found Riddhima sleeping in evening time,she is very strict with her disciplines so it was very unlike her. When he laid Bai Ji in bed and was turning, he saw that some papers were scattered in her table. He decided to arrange them then only he would go outside. There he saw a medical report stating name “Mrs. Riddhima Vansh Rai Singhania” saying that last few days she had being under severe anorexia due to some internal problems and medicines were prescribed accordingly.

“Why Riddhima, today I don’t feel like calling you BaiJi, you were ill and I didn’t even seem to know about you, even when you had to hospitalized. If I hadn’t found the files, I would not have known that you are acutely anorexic, so you take anti allergens each morning, and they finished plus you had severe case of anorexia, so you lost almost 15 kgs in last 10 days but you didn’t even call me.”

Riddhima waited till his raging anger settled for some moments then just said “Yes, I am anorexic since ages and I just don’t know what went wrong in last few days. I am Ph.D. in bio technology. I know my medicines.” She didn’t say it but from his previous experiences he knew that Krystle and Riddhima don’t have good terms plus with Riddhima not having cellphone, the only way they connect is through that way only.

“Saurav, yaah can you get me a cell phone.........yes best one please..........no matter of money............no, no not for me but your Bai Ji.”

“This is for you; call me whenever you feel like because you are my top priority irrespective of meetings so at any time when you are at mood to talk and next time I don’t want any more surprises. And here is your medicines, have them on time and properly. I’m on verge of my anger so pls do not poke me anymore and do get yourself well soon.” Vansh said emotionlessly and he only knew how broke he felt seeing her look so dim. So he had decided to take things on his hands.

“Kunwar Saab, what do you think what should I wear in the annual meeting, I think this red gota patee saree will look nice with rubies but on second thoughts, I think blue saree with emeralds with make a better combination.” said Riddhima seeing them in front of the huge mirror of their room. In response Vansh just Hmmed while working in the laptop.

“Kunwar Saab, Kunwar Saab, you are not listening to me.I was thinking that no one should marry a workcoholic man. You bring all office to home.”

Sliding his laptop, he said “What should I say. You are such a beauty that you look beautiful in every dress you wear, like now looking pure kesar ki bagaan” signalling towards her violet pink saree.

She blushed and said “Now, you are making me conscious.”
