chapter-----14
it was aarushi,krishna,komal and adarsh's haldi ceremony..... adarsh and komal's marriage had been fixed on the same day bt the time will be an hour before krishna and aarushi's marriage...as advised by the pandit..... he said that there were certain issues abt komal's kundali...hence her marriage wud have to be done an hour before.....
both the houses were vry busy bt nt equally happy... in sajjan singh's house...evrythng was cheerful and full of fun......evryone was shouting,laughing,dancing,pulling each other's legs... almost all the relatives had arrived and it was a big celebration...bt on the other hand, in pratigya's house....evryone was only pretending to be happy.......just for aarushi's sake..... the haldi ceremony was being done without any proper celebration.......
adarsh was nt at all happy.....with this forced-upon relationship.....in fact he felt terrible......he had always loved rohli and the news had broken her heart totally......adarsh felt like killing that baldev singh.....
aarushi was vry happy.... in frnt of her...evryone was smiling so that her precious moments are nt destroyed...and she was dreaming abt her future life with krishna.......wich was going to start after just three days...bt those three days seemed like three years to her.......
pratigya was sitting quietly in her room wen she heard a knock on the door. she looked around and saw rohli standing on the doorway....she got up and grinned at her-----rohli? she went up to her and hugged her tightly... she had missed her like hell...
she took her hand and led her towards her bed...rohli sat down beside her......
pratigya-----kahan thi tum itne din? hamari yaad bilkul nhi ayi tumhe?
rohli------papa ki tabiyat thk nhi thi.....par...par....pratigya ye sab kya ho gaya......?
pratigya's smile faded away to see her eyes,the corners of her eyes were glistening with tears...
pratigya---are rohli? tum ro kyun rahi ho?
rohli put her arms around her and burst into tears... pratigya cud nt understand the meaning of her outburst.... she tried to cnsole her....and said-----kya hua rohli...hume kuch to bolo?
rohli released pratigya and wiped her tears.....then she said----pehle to hum hairan ho gaye the jab hume pata chala ki aarushi ki shaadi krishna se ho rahi hain.......aur fir.....fir......jab hume...hume...pata chala ki adarsh ji ki shaadi komal se...pratigya hamare saath ais kyun huya? kyun? humne kisika kya bigada tha?
pratigya----tum....bhaiya ki shaadi ko lekar......tum....kya tum bhaiya ko pasand karti thi?
rohli----pasand karei the nhi...karte hain....bht pyaar karte hain hum unse....fir unko kaise kisi aur ke hote hue bardasht kar le...bolo pratigya.....kya tum krishna ko kisi aur ke hote hue dekh paogi?
kya tumhe koi taklif nhi hogi?
pratigya'stomach lurched at her question...she looked away frm her...
rohli waited for a reply...bt unable to get one she said----kya hua...batao hume?
pratigya----kya.....bhaiya ko iske baare mein pata hain?
rohli smiled sarcastically....her smile made pratigya's heart ache..it was so full of sorrow----pata hain? pratigya...hum dono hi ek dusre se bht pyaar karte hain aur zindagi ek saath guzarna chahte the....lekin shayad hamare kismat ko ye baat manzoor nhi hain............
she sighed.........
pratigya took her hands in hers and said----rohli...tum ek bht acchi ladki ho...hum dua karte hain ki tumhe ek bht accha jeevan saathi mile.......aur adarsh bhaiya ko galat mat samjho.....usne jaan bujhkar tumhara dil nhi dukhaya........hum jante hain woh khud kitne pareshan hain.....
rohli stopped her midway-----nhi pratigya...hum adarsh ji ko kabhi galat nhi samjhenge...hum unko unse bhi acchi tarah se jante hain...aur hum ye bhi jante hain ki woh humse bht pyaar karte hain...... lekin hume dukh is baat ka hain ki adarsh ji hume kabhi nhi bhul payenge......woh nato khud khush reh payenge aur nahi apni patni ko khush rakh payenge...ye sab hamare saath kyun huya pratigya?
pratigya put her arms around her best frnd and pulled her closer...she rested her head on her shoulders and wept...
pratigya said to herself-------ye sab tumhari wajase ho raha hain krishna....tum zimedaar ho hum sab ki zindagi barbad karne ke liye.....sirf tum..........
............................................................................................................................
the fon rang in saxena's house...shyam ji picked it up..... it was sajjan singh....

naina ji ----haan ye thk rahega........
.................................................................................................................
ayiye ayiye professor sahab-------said sajjan singh to shyam ji and his family.....he took them inside and gave them a warm welcome..... krishna smiled at aarushi.......she smiled back...bt a little shyly........ evryone took their seats and the celebration began....it was grand celebration.....
komal started dancing frst on a beautiful song........ she looked like a little fairy while she moved and turned...... bt to adarsh she seemed like a big problem...a trouble.....an eclipse in his life..... he hated her......
komal danced and danced until her feet gave up........
Oh Babul Oh Maiya Oh Bhaiya Oh Sakhiya
Oh Babul Oh Maiya Oh Bhaiya Oh Sakhiya Oh Sakhiya
Aangan Galiyaan Chaubara Chhod Chali Bachpan Saara
Aangan Galiyaan Chaubara Chhod Chali Bachpan Saara
Teri Son Pari Kis Aur Chali Kis Aur Chali
Sajna Tere
Sajna Tere Pyaar Mein Hum Pardesi Ho Gaye Re Hum Pardesi Ho Gaye Re
Sajna Tere Pyaar Mein Hum Pardesi Ho Gaye Re Hum Pardesi Ho Gaye Re
Ho Gaye Re Ho Gaye Re Ho Gaye Re
ultimately evryone started to grove and dance on the song.......krishna and aarushi were pulled up on the floor too.....and then shyam ji and naina ji too....... only baldev singh and some other drunk men were left out as they wud create trouble.....if they start to dance.... they sat there watching.....
evryone was so involved in the celebration that they did nt notice krishna whu slowly crept outside........
...........................................................
pratigya,tumhare ghar ka fon baj raha hain...pratigya hum kitchen mein hain...plz tum uthalo.....----rohli cried...
pratigya came running out of her room---are baba uthati hun ruko....she picked it up----helo?
the voice on the other side made her face become pale------tum yahan kyun nhi ayi......?
it was krishna...
pratigya cntrolled herself and said shaprly----kyunki hum ana nhi chahte hain.....
krishna----oh....to tumne hal chod diya hain.....hain na?
pratigya----kya matlab?
krishna---matlab ye ki tum apni behen ko bachane ki har koshish se muh fer liya hain...kyun? aab tum apni behen ko puri tarah se kho dogi.....samjhi?
pratigya's hands started sweating-------krishna....tum aarushi nko kuch mat karna...plzz...krishna......
krishna grinned---agr tum ye chahti ho ki hum tumhari behen ke saath kuch aisa waisa na kare to abhi isiwaqt purane mandir ke paas pahuch jao......
he cut the line....
pratigya cntinued to shout---hello...hello....
bt the line had already been disconnected......
rohli came up to her and touched her shoulders---kiska fon tha pratigya?
pratigya----krishna....
rohli---krishna ka? kya keh raha tha woh?
pratigya---usne hume purane mandir ke paas bulaya hain...hume jana hoga.....warna wo aarushi ke saath...nhi...hum aisa nhi hone denge....
rohli-----par pratigya woh aisa kyun kar raha hain...?
pratigya took her hand and said---rohli.....hume jana hoga...hum tumse baad mein baat karenge... she took her purse and ran out........
....................................................................................................
it was a moon lit night too...like that devastating night of ten years ago........
as pratigya ascended the stairs...she felt her hands and feet become cold in fear...there wasnt a single person nearby......the moon shone like an eerie object,a silent observer whu wud nt evn react to anyone's death.......
she ascended the last step and halted.........she saw him...standing before him.....his gorgeous outfit glittering in the moonlight.....
he came forward and stood in frnt of her------hum jante the ki tum zaroor aogi...
pratigya----kyun bulaya hume....?
krishna stood silently and then smirked-------ye jagah yaad hain pratigya? hum bachpan mein..........
pratigya cut him short------mudde ki baat karo...kya tumne hume ye sab baatein karne ke liye bulaya hain?
krishna's fingers clutched into fists...he felt his temper rising slowly..... he grabbed her by her shoulders and made her look into his eyes...pratigya was terrified...his fingers dig into her flesh,he held her vry tightly------kya kar rahe ho tum?
krishna said in a hissing voice--------tum humse itni nafrat kyun karti ho pratigya? KYUN? humne aisa kya kar diya hain? hum to tumse itna pyaar karte the ki tumhare liye apna jaan bhi der sakte the.......kyun barbad kar diya tumne hume? kyun?
pratigya struggeld to get free...he held her more tightly......pratigya gasped------krishna...hume dard ho raha hain....
krishna let out a sarcastic laughter as he released her.....the sounds of his laughter echoed in the dark night....
krishna----dard? dard ho raha hain tumhe? are tum kya jano dard kya hota hain....tum to khud logo ko itna dard pahuchati ho ki unhe us dard ko bardasht karne se zyaada maut ko gale lagana behtar lagta hain........
he turned around and pointed to his heart-------yahan...yahan dard pahuchati ho tum....aur hamari baat to chod do......tumne to hamare dil ka itne tukde ki hain.....ki..ki hum sari zindagi bhi un tukdo ko jod nhi payenge aur jo bhi hamare kareeb ayega....unko bhi us dard ka ehsaas hoga jo tumne hume di hain........
he smiled at her------jaise tumhari behen........aarushi.....saari zindagi woh apne aapko kosegi ki usne ek murde se shaadi ki hain....ek mara huya aadmi se........aur us aadmi ko mara hain uski apni behen ne.......samjhi?
pratigya dropped down on the ground....she cud see it vry clearly now......that was his plan....he wud make her suffer after marriage.....he wud make her suffer for husband's love..........wich he wud nvr give her........
pratigya whispered-----nhi....aisa nhi ho sakta...aarushi....
tears rolled down her cheeks and her body started to shake as her pain flowed out in the form of tears..... she embraced herself and cried......
in her grief she had not noticed that krishna had walked up vry close to her....he knelt down in frnt of her and said in a low voice----aab bhi waqt hain pratigya...hamari baat man lo...warna zindqagi bhar pachtaogi tum.......
pratigya looked up at him...she cudnt see his face clearly due to her tears--------kya karna hoga hume?
krishna-----adarsh aur komal ki shaadi ek ghante pehle ho jayegi...ek bar un dono ki shaadi ho jaye,...fir hum kisi bahane se bahar aa jayenge aur hum dono yahan se bhag jayenge...tum bahar hamara intezaar karna.......
pratigya felt like slapping this man hard on his face.......she said-------kitni ghatiya soch hain tumhara krishna? tumhe apni behen ki parwa hain lekin aarushi bhi kisiki behen hain krishna....kisiki beti hain woh......uski zindagi barbad karne se pehle tumhe ekbaar bhi uspar taras nhi ayega? aur tum chahte ho ki is gunaah mein hum tumhara saath de? hargis nhi....hum tumhara saath kabhi nhi denge.........
she got up and said determindly--------hum ye shaadi rokenge.......lekin tumhare gande irado mein bhi tumhara saath nhi denge......hamari baat yaad rakhna.......
she descended down the stairs without looking back.....nt evn for once......
krishna gritted his teeth-----hum bhi dekhte hain ki tum ye shaadi kaise rokti ho......tumhe hamari baat maani hi padegi.......
