"Khirad, aap zara jaldi ki jiye please..Warna hum late ho jayenge shaadi ke liye... Ashar, Khirad ke room ke bahir darwaze pe khare ho kar kehta raha.
Aaj Ashar ki cousin ke shaadi ka function hai. Jisme use sabse pehle maujud rehna hoga.
"Hum ready hai. Hai na, Hareem? Khirad apne room ka darwaza kholte hua kaha. Ashar kuch kehne wala tha jo keh na paya..
Wo Khirad ko aisi nazron se dekh raha tha ke Khirad ki gaal laal ho gayi aur usne apni aankhein neeche jhuka li.
Ashar apna gala thik karte hue apni nazrein idhar udhar hata ne laga.
"Hume shayad abhi nikalna chahiye.
"Ji..
Ashar ne apni gari ghar ke samne park ki aur Khirad ke taraf morkar dekha ki dono Khirad aur Hareem gehri neend me so rahe the.
Gari se nikalkar pehle Hareem ko nikaalkar use haule se ghar ke andar lekar sofa par sula diya.
Phir daurte hue jakar Khirad ko bhi apne god me lekar ghar ke andar le aaya. Sabse chaukne ki baat hai uski neend ek bar bhi nahi tuti.
Ashar Khirad ke sar par haule se kiss kiya aur sochne laga Kaash Khirad samajh paati ki Ashar usse kis had tak mohabbat karta hai.
Ashar fauran Khirad aur Hareem ko Khirad ke kamre me sulakar apne kamre me sone chala gaya. Wo to chahta tha ki wo usi kamre me so jaye jisme uski biwi aur beti so rahe hai. Fir socha agar uske rehne par Khirad uncomfortable feel kare to unke beech fir se sab kuch awkward ho jayega. Aur Ashar ye bilkul nahi chahta tha..
Aaj uske cousin ki shaadi attend kar ke uske dil me aisi ek iccha jaagi hai jise wo pura karna chahta hai - Khirad ko apne dulhan ke libaaz me dekhna chahta hai. Aur use ye bhi maloom hai ki uska help sirf Hareem kar sakti hai.
"Mama?
"Ji Hareem, aapko aur kuch khaane ko chahiye?
"Nahi, mama. Mera naasta khatam ho gaya. Mai aur kuch nahi khaungi.
Aaj Ashar ke office me koi kaam nahi tha is liye aaj teen o milkar ek sath naasta kar rahe the.
Usne Hareem ko naste ke pehle hi apne plan me shaamil kar liya tha. Hareem to fauran raazi ho gayi.
"Acha Mama... Hum kal jaise us fuppo ki shaadi me gaye the...aur wo dulhan ke libaaz me kitni khubsoorat lag rahi thi... hai na?
"Ji Hareem Khirad muskurate hua kaha. Wo saare plates ek sath lekar sink par rakh diya. Fauran Ashar uthkar Khirad ki help karne laga.
"Ashar aap... kyun takalluf kar rahe hai? Aap baithe.. bohot din o ke baad to aapko ek chutti ka din mila hai... Khirad ne Ashar ke haath se dishes lete hue kaha.
"Takalluf kis baat ki? Apne biwi ki help karne me koi takalluf hoti hai bhala? Ye to farz maana jata hai... Ashar ne Khirad se muskurate hue kaha. Khirad ke gaal firse laal hone lage aur wo fauran Hareem ke paas jakar baith gayi.
"Acha! Meri baath suno na koi! Hareem ne gussa hokar kaha.
"Ok...Ok.. Ab bolo... Hum sabhi sun rahe hai.. " Khirad ne haste hue kaha.
"Haa. Jo mai keh rahi thi... Mama, maine jitne aap dono ke shaadi ke photo albums dekhe the..maine aapko kabhi dulhan ke libaaz me nahi dekha. Woh kyun? Hareem ne apne dono parents se poocha.
Khirad aur Ashar dono ek dusre ke taraf atleast ek minute ke liye ghur rahe the. Jaise dono ankhon se baat kar rahe ho.
Ashar ne jaldi Hareem ke taraf apne ankhein hata li.
"Hareem beta, woh is liye kyunki jab aapki mama aur humari shaadi hui thi tab aapki nani ka intekaal hua tha. Is liye hume ache se celebrate karne ka mauka nahi mila.
"Ok. But abhi to kar sakte hai na aap dono? Hareem ne firse poocha.
"Matlab? Aap kya kehna chahti hai Hareem? Khirad confused hokar Ashar ke taraf ek bar dekhkar fir Hareem se sawal kiya.
"Maa! Areh! Wo TV par dikhate hai na... jise kehte hai Remarriage! Ab aap dono ki to shaadi already ho chuki hai isliye sirf reception ka function kar sakte hai. Aur agar aap wo bhi na karna chahe to...
"Hareem! Khirad shocked hokar Hareem ko ghurne lagi.
"... sirf photos khichwa sakti hai.. Hareem ne apni baat khatam ki aur apne parents ke taraf muskurane lagi. Ashar usko dekhkar hasna chahta tha, magar use pata tha ki agar wo hasne lag gaya to Khirad ko ye pata chal jayega ki Hareem aur Ashar dono milkar kuch plan kar rahe hai. Aur wo ye hone nahi de sakta warna sab plans chaupat ho jayega. Ashar ko apni acting jari rahni paregi.
"Hareem beta aap ye kya keh rahi hai? Aisa kabhi nahi ho sakta! Khirad shocked hokar kehne lagi aur Ashar ke taraf dekhne lag gayi jaise ki wo use uski help karne ke liye expect kar rahi thi.
Ashar ne Khirad ko apna helpless look diya aur apne dono haath utha liye jaise wo kehna chahta tha Mai kya kar sakta hoon isme. Ye to ladkiyon ka mamla hai. Mujhe isme mat ghaseeto.
Khirad gussa hokar Ashar ko taar ne lagi. Aur phir Hareem ko samjhane ki koshish karne lagi.
"Nahi Mama! Mai aapko dulhan ke libaaz me dekhna chahti hoon bas! Mai kisi ki koi baat nahi sunungi! Ab aap log soche aap dono ko kya karna hai. Mai aap dono ko do din ka time dungi. Aap log baat ki jiye, mai ab bahar swing me khelne ja rahi hoon. Hareem daurkar bahar chali gayi.
Khirad shocked reh gayi. Uske dimag me sirf ek hi baat ghum rahi thi Ab Kya karenge?
Aur uske paas Ashar muskura raha tha ye sochte hue Plan successful!
Do Din Baad
"Ashar! Khirad gusse se Ashar ko bulaya jo lounge pe aram se newspaper par raha tha aur seeti baja raha tha. Khirad ke chillane se wo chauk gaya aur uske haatho se newspaper neeche gir gaya.
Ashar newspaper uthakar seedha baith gaya aur Khirad ko apna pura dhayan.diya jo uske samne aakar dat se baith gayi.
"Ji Khirad? Aapko kuch kehna hai? Ashar ne poocha.
"Aap apni beti ko samjhaiye ki jo wo chahti hai wo nahi ho sakta. Khirad ne kaha.
"Acha. Jab Hareem apki baat nahi maanti tab wo meri beti ho jati hai? Aur iab kuch acha karti hai to wo aapki beti ban jati hai? Are waah! Ashar ne muskurate hue Khirad se poocha.
"Nahi! Mera ye matlab hai ki...Ugh! Khirad gussa hoke uthne lagi tab Ashar ne Khirad ka haath thamkar rok diya.
"Acha sorry. Mai mazaak kar raha tha. Mai Hareem ko already samjhane ki bohot koshish kar chuka hoon. Par wo hai ki nahi manti. Usne jo thaan liya hai ab wo kar ke rahegi. Aur waise bhi mai kya aapko bohot bura lagta hoon? Ashar ne Khirad ke ankhon me ankhein dalkar poocha.
"Aap aisa kyun pooch rahe hai? Khirad ne apni nazrein jhuka li.
Ashar ne Khirad ki nazrein apni nazron se mila liya.
"To phir aap mere saath reception ka function kyun nahi karna chahti? Ashar ne firse poocha..
"Nahi... Wo bas... aapko to pata hai...mujhe zyada bheer nahi pasand. Aur bohot saare relatives honge jinhe mai janti bhi nahi hu. Aur waise humari shaadi ko kitna arsa beet chuka hai already aur humari beti kitni badi ho gayi hai.. Ab jaake reception ka function karenge to zara weird nahi lagega? Khirad ne saari reasons Ashar ko list out kar di jiske liye wo Hareem ki baat se inkaar karna chahti hai.
"Hmm... Ok. To mere paas iska bhi hal hai. Aap shayad bhool chuki hongi Hareem ka dusra option. Ashar ne Khirad se kaha.
"Dusra option? Wo kya tha? Khirad confused hokar Ashar se poocha.
"Wo ye ki agar hum reception ka function nahi karna chahte hai to phir hum sirf photos khichwa sakte hai har ek functions ke liye, jaise ki Haldi, Mehendi, Shaadi aur fir Walima. Ashar ne kaha.
"Magar in sab cheezo ka to bohot kharche honge - Khirad pareshan hokar kehne lagi.
"Wo aap mujhpar chor dijiye. Aap unki chinta mat kijiye. Aap sirf aapke favorite colors bata dijiyega. Baaki ka mai sambhaal lunga. Magar aapko meri ek sharrt maanni hogi.. Ashar apne lounge chair par araam se baithkar apne dono haath sar ke peeche rakhkar firse seeti baja ne laga.
" Kaisi sharrt? Khirad ne shakki aankhon se Ashar ko dekhte hue poocha.
"Yahi ki aapko mere saath Honeymoon me jaana padega.
"Kya?! Hum honeymoon - kab?!
Ashar apni chair par seedha baithkar Khirad ka haath apne haathon me le li.
"Jee. Mujhe lagta hai ki hume kuch waqt akele me bitaana chahiye. Sirf Hum do. Pure ek hafte ke liye. Ashar ne uske ankhon me dekhkar kaha. Khirad sharmakar apni nazrein firse jhuka li.
"Aur Hareem? Khirad ne poocha.
"Hareem se maine already baat kar li hai. Wo apni razamandi bohot pehle already de chuki hai. Ab sirf hum apki razamandi ka intezaar kar rahe hai. Aap kya chahte hai? Kya aap mere saath jana chahengi? Ashar ne Khirad se poocha.
"Thik hai. Khirad ne muskurate hue kaha.
"Aapne kya kaha? Maine shaayad galat suna. Ashar chaukkar Khirad se poocha.
"Maine kaha thik hai. Jab baap-beti sab plans kar chuke hai to mai isme kya kar sakti hu. Khirad haskar kehne lagi.
" Yay! Mama maan gayi! Hareem chillate hue unke taraf daur ayi.
Teen o has pare.
And they lived Happily Ever After.
The End.
