A/N: I know the chapter is painful but every lover has to pass a test
It was lunch time everyone was at the dinning table to have their lunch , Nimisha was serving the lunch while Nishi was helping her, she was about to serve the rotis to Kabir but Kabir refused to take any
Nimisha: Kabir roti leejiye na kya aap bhi...
Kabir: Haan wo...
she served them to him, a few minutes later
Kabir: Darsh wo sabzi paas kar
Meena ji(his mother): O puttar Nishi tere bagal mein baithi hai usey bol...
Kabir: Bas maa ho gaya...
Meena ji : Par beta abhi toh tu sabzi maang raha tha
Kabir: Haan Maa, lekin bas ho gaya
He got up and walked away, Meena noticed that there was something strange between the two.
IN THE NIGHT
Meena and Nimisha were in her room, Meena was massaging Nimisha's head
Nimisha: Maa aapke haathon mein sach mein jaadu hai...thank you so much Maa, aapko pata hai, aapke hote huye mujhe kabhi bhi apni Maa ki kami mehsoos nahin hui
Meena ji: Puttar ji main aapki maa hi toh hun
Nimisha looked at her and smiled
Meena ji: Achha puttar mainu das, ye Guddu aur Nishu ke beech koi an ban hui hai kya ? Dono ukhde ukhde rehte hain, pehle toh aisa nahin hota tha, Nishu mere guddu ki jaan thi, bata puttar kuchh hoya hai ki?
Nimisha couldn't hide the situation now she explained everything to him.
Nimisha: Ab aap hi batao ki main kya karun Maa, Nishi ko samjhaun toh Kabir rooth jaate hain aur Kabir ko samjhaun toh Nishi...
Meena ji: Ye baat hai? toh tu ab kuchh na kar, sab mujhpe chhod de, ab main aa gayi hun na main sab thik kar dungi...par apne tareeke se thik hai?
Meanwhile Kabir came to the room
Kabir: Ye kya Nimisha tum toh meri maa ke aate hi unse kaam karwaane lagi
Nimisha: Maine kya kiya?
Kabir: Ye kya tel maalish haan ?...
Meena ji : Jalna band kar khotya... itthe aa mere kol baith, tere bhi sar mein maalish kar deti hun
Kabir sat before her and she started massaging his head as well
Kabir: Oh Maa...kitne dino baad aapke haathon ki ye maalish mil rahi hai mujhe , ab neend bahot achhe se aayegi
Meena ji: Meri beti se jalna band kar samjha , jab dekho usey satate rehta hai..hmm...
Kabir and Nimisha laughed aloud
After sometime Meena ji came up to Nishi' s room while Nishi was talking to Rajat on her phone, when she saw Meena she disconnected the call
Nishi: Arey Dadi aao na
Meena ji: Kaun tha vo jis se tu baat kar rahi thi?
Nishi: Ka..Kaun Dadi
Meena ji: Bana mat mujhe bata kaun hai vo munda
Nishi : Dadi vi
Meena ji: Nishi... Laado...naam bata chal
Nishi: Daadi unka naam Rajat hai
Meena ji : Changa naam hai, mujhe milwayegi na us se
Nishi blushed and nodded her head
Meena ji: Kal mujhe us se milwana hmm? milwayegi na...
Nishi: Jee
Meena ji: Chal ab chheti se so jaa raat badi ho gayi hai beta...
NEXT MORNING
Rajat was nervous, Nishi had called her to meet in the Stardust restaurant, he knew he had to meet Nishi's grandmother so he was completely well dressed in a brown body hugging formal shirt, and black trouser, he had tied his buttons to the top of his neck, he was very much nervous.
When Nishi saw his appearance she almost burst out laughing
Nishi: Ye kya huliya hai? Tumhe is huliye mein ghabrahat nahi ho rahi( she tried to open his collar buttons)
Rajat(stopping her): Kya kya kar rahi ho Nishi abhi tumhari daadi aane wali ho
Nishi giggled but then she looked at him and stopped herself from laughing
Nishi: Aane wali nahi hain aa gayi, vo dekho wahan...
She pointed to her grandmother who just entered the restaurant
Nishi: Wo rahi meri Daadi
Rajat saw Meena ji
Rajat: Pakka ye tumhari Daadi hai na?
Nishi: Haan lekin kyun?
Rajat: Look at her she looks so young
Nishi smiled at him meanwhile Meena ji saw Nishi along with Rajat
Meena ji(thinks): Rajat toh wakai Nimisha ne jitna bataya tha Nishi se us se bhi bada lagta hai, aur upar se divorcy bhi, haye rabba Nishi puttar tu kyun nahi samajh rahi jo tere maa baap tujhe samjhana chaah rahe hain, mata rani kare sab thik ho jaaye
Meena tries to smile , Rajat bent down to touch her feet
Meena ji : Jiwnde reh puttar
They all talked for quite a long time , Meena ji liked Rajat' s nature, she left them sometime alone
Rajat: Nishi tumhari daadi na sach mein bahot cute hain
Nishi : I know that
Rajat: Agar tumhari dadi pehle mil gayi hoti na toh..
Nishi: Toh?
Rajat: Toh main unse shadi kar leta
and she hits him slightly
Nishi: Achha suno bahar chalo
Rajat: Kahan?
Nishi: Chalo toh sahi
She took his hand and took him outside
Rajat: aur jaa kahan rahe hain hum
Nishi : Gaadi mein baithiye Rajat
Rajat: Lekin hum jaa kahan rahe hain ?
Nishi: Long drive pe aur is baar gaadi main chalaungi
Rajat: Tumhe gaadi chalana aata hai?
Nishi: Bilkul aata hai
Rajat: Chalo achha hai meri maut tumhare haathon hogi, tumhare papa ke nahi...
Nishi: Rajat!
Rajat: Kidding baba
They tied the seatbelts and Nishi started the car , Nishi stopped it at a beach
Rajat: Kya hua Nishi hum toh long drive pe jaa rahe they na?
Nishi didn't answer anything she just stepped out and smiled... Rajat followed her, and she walked to the seashore
Rajat: Nishi..
Nishi: Joote utaar ke aaiyega Mr Saxena warna is ehsaas ki khoobsurti ka andaza nahi hoga aapko
Rajat took off his shoes and held Nishi's hand , they closed their eyes and could feel the cold water on their feet
Rajat and Nishi looked into each other's eyes , the cool soothing and relaxing breeze and the few droplets that came on their face
O saathi re din dube na
Aa chal din ko roke
Dhup ke peeche daude
Chaanv chhue na
O saathi re
He brought her closer to him and she rests her head on his shoulder
O saathi re din dube na
Aa chal din ko roke
Dhup ke peeche daude
Chaanv chhue na
O saathi re
She stepped up on his feet and they walked along he smiled
O saathi re din dube na
She lost her balance but he held
Thaka thaka suraj jab nadi se hokar niklega
Hari hari kaayi pe paanv bada toh fislega
Tum rok ke rakhna main jaal giraaun
Tum pith pe lena main haath lagaaun
Din dube na ha
He walked before her and she followed him till she could hang herself on his shoulder , he lifts her on his back
Teri meri atti patti
Daat se kaati katti
Re jaiiyo na
O pihoo re
O pihoo re na jaiyyo na
Here on other side Meena ji was in a big delimma she couldnt understand what should be done, Darsh came up to her room
Darsh: Daadi, aapke haath ke bane besan ke laddu khaane ko nahi mike bana do na daadi
But Meena ji didn't answer
Darsh: Daadi...
Meena ji: Haan puttar banati hun barfi...
Darsh: Barfi nahi Daadi laddu
Meena ji: Haan puttar main apne laddu ke liye laddu zaroor banaungi
Darsh jumped in joy and he hugged her, they got into the kitchen Darsh helped her in cooking
Meena ji: Darsh puttar ek baat toh bata, ye Rajat se tu mila hai kabhi?
Darsh: Haan mila toh hun, Rajat sir bahot achhe hain, haan thode se strict hain par fir bhi nature mein bahot achhe hain, lekin ye bhi sach hai Daadi ki wo di se bahot pyaar karte hain aur di unse , ye maine apni aankhon se dekha hai...
Meena ji smiled at him
Next morning
Meena ji was in Kabir's room
Kabir: Arey Maa tum kuchh kaam tha?
Meena ji: Apne bete ke kamre mein aane ke liye kaam ki zarurat hai mujhe?
Kabir: Maa tum bhi naa aao baitho...
Meena ji: Puttar mujhe tujhse kuchh baat karni thi
Kabir: Haan toh bolo na maa kya baat hai...
Meena ji: Puttar Nishi se itni berukhi thik nahi, mera matlab hai ki main jaanti hun ki tu us se kyun naraaz hai, Nimisha ne sab bataya hai mujhe, par beta main Rajat se mili hun aur...
Kabir: Achha, toh Nishi ne milwa bhi diya aapko us se, aur aapko bhej diya yahan Rajat ki tarafdaari karne ke liye
Meena ji: Main yahan Nishi ke kehne se nahi aayi hun
Kabir: Wo jo bhi ho, lekin main is rishte ki manzoori kabhi nahin dunga
Meena ji: Guddu tu wahi kar raha hai puttar jo Nimisha ke Baba sa ne 25 saal pehle kia tha
Kabir: Maa...
Meena ji: Sach hi toh keh rahi hun main
Kabir: Maa, is baat mein aur us baat mein bahot farak hai, naa main Nimisha se 12 saal bada hun aur na hi meri pehle shaadi hui thi, na mere extra marital affair ki khabrein daud rahi thi, Maa bahot farak hai is baat mein aur us baat mein
Meena ji: Naa manzoori toh naa manzoori hoti hai puttar
Kabir: Lekin maa dono baaton mein farak dikhai nahi de raha Maa
Meena ji: Puttar, Nimisha ne tere liye jo kiya hai, agar Nishi bhi vahi karti toh tu bhi kya wahi karega jo Nimisha ke Baba sa ne kiya? Bol?
Kabir: Maine Nishi ko kabhi kisi cheez ke liye kabhi roka nahi hai Maa aur aage rokunga bhi nahi, lekin is bewakoofi jise wo apni khushi samajh rahi hai na , main us khushi mein kabhi shaamil nahi hounga bas uske bawjood vo jo karna chaahe kar sakti hai, umar bhar ke liye apne dil par patthar rakh lunga
Meena ji: Lekin tu bhi ye jaanta hai ki teri ijaazat ke bagair vo kuchh nahi karegi
Kabir: Umar bhar apni beti ko apni aankhon ke saamne baithe dekh kar bahot khush hounga main, par apne haathon se apna khud ka jeevan barbaad karte nahi dekh sakta. Iske aage mainn kuchh nahi kehna chaahta maa...
He said this and left the room
Nishi overheard their conversation and she was again in tears
Nishi: Papa mujhse itna pyaar karte hain aur main...2 mahine ke rishte ke liye main 22 saal ka pyaar aur rishta toh nahin bhool sakti na, Papa, aapki beti wahi karegi jo aap chaahte hain...
Nishi called Rajat and asked him to meet her in the nearby coffee house
Here on other side
Kabir saw Nimisha in the hall he hugged her, he was in tears
Kabir: Nimisha chalo jaldi apna saman pack karo hmm...
Nimisha: Kya hua Kabir? Hum kahan jaa rahe hain
Kabir: Jodhpur, dekho zyada waqt nahin hai...hum bas abhi nikal rahe hain
he got into the room again, Nimisha followed her and he started putting all the clothes in a suitcase
Nimisha: Kabir kya hua aapko? Aise kya kar rahe hain aap
But she was left unanswered
Nimisha: Kabir...(she held his hand )
Nimisha: Kya hua haan? Aap achanak aise kyun behave kar rahe hain aur ye jodhpur kyun jaa rahe hain hum haan?
Kabir : Maine jo kiya bhagwaan shayad usiki saza mujhe de rahe hain...Maine tumhe tumhare Baba se door kar diya na Nimisha, isliye bhagwaan bhi meri beti ko mujhse door kar raha hai, lekin ab aur nahin, hum abhi jayenge tumhare Baba sa jo kuchh kahenge main sun lunga lekin hum chalte hain...haan...
Nimisha: Kabir...kya kar rahe hain aap...koi nahin jaayega Jodhpur...Kabir...Baba sa ne hamare rishte ko manzoori nahin di thi kyunki vo unki jhoothi shaan ke khilaaf tha, unke liye unka status zyada matter karta tha, paramparayein zyada matter karti thi, ego matter karta tha, rajgharane ke hone ka guroor...lekin aap jo kar rahe hain usme aur Baba sa ne jo kiya usme bahot fark hai, Aap Nishi ki khushiyaan dekh rahe hain, status ki wajah se aapne Rajat ko namanzoor nahin kiya hai...balki Nishi ko koi takleef na ho, uspe kisi buri cheez ka saya na pade uspe Rajat ke ateet ki chhaanv bhi na pade isliye aap ye rishta nahi maan rahe.
Kabir: Agar Nishi bhi wahi karegi jo tumne 25 saal pehle mere liye kiya toh
Nimisha: Kabir...Aap khudko doshi kyun thehra rahe hain...aap khud nahin chaahte they ki hum bhaag ke shadi karein, meri zid ki wajah se aapko majbooran karna pada kyunki maine khana peena chhod diya tha, maine khud ko nuksaan pahonchaane ki koshish ki thi isme aapki koi galati nahin thi, aur rahi Nishi ki baat, main usey jaanti hun, vo aisi galati nahi dohrayegi jo maine ki, kyunki un dono baaton mein farak hai Kabir, Baba sa galat they, aap galat nahin hai
Kabir looked at her and she wiped his tears
Nimisha: Kabir, hum gaye they na unke paas, unhone kya kiya...mere jeete jee meri tasveer pe mala chadha di, bhara pura parivaar tha mera 25 saal ho gaye unhone hume maaf nahin kiya, aaj tak unke liye family status matter karta hai, Maa tak ko nahin milne diya mujhse , tab se maine maan liya ki meri family sirf aap hain...sirf aap, par is baat mein aur us baat mein bahot farak hai Kabir, aur ye farak Nishi ko samajhna hoga ki uske Papa us se kitna pyaar karte hain.
HERE ON OTHER SIDE
Rajat: Kya hua Nishi yun achanak tumne mujhe kyun bulaya ? Sab thik toh hai na
Nishi: Rajat ab jo main kehne wali hun usey bahot patience se suniyega, Rajat...
She took a deep breath
Nishi: Rajat...main tumse ab ye rishta nahin rakh sakti...bahot pyaar karti hun tumse par chaahke bhi tumse koi rishta nahin nibha sakti...I am sorry Rajat I am sorry...
She was in tears but then she immedialtely got up and turned
Rajat: Nishi...
Nishi didn't say anything she walked out of the coffee house, she walked to the center park and cried down ,she never thought she would ever do this but she had no other option...
Her eyes swoll up of crying constantly, she couldn't handle herself...
She tried to make herself calm and called Varun...
Nishi: Varun
Varun: Haan bol
But she couldn't speak
Varun: Tu ro rahi hai, Nishi...bol kya hua...bol na...Nishi...
Nishi: Tune 2 mahine pehle mujhse ek sawal kiya tha, main aaj uska jawab dena chahti hun
Varun: Nishi kya bol rahi hai? Kaunsa sawal ?
Nishi: Tu mujhse mil..
Nishi disconnected the call and she was into tears again, she couldn't stop herself...
