Sorry everyone..I had uploaded the new chapter which had a twist in it..but I later felt its not going with my original story idea..hence I deleted it..thats why many of you could not see chapter 21...
anyways I have now written a new chapter..please read and let me know your comments...
wishing you all a very Happy new year !
Rajat (clears his throat): Pari…tume apni zindagi ke baare me kya socha hai…
Purvi: main samjhi nahi
Rajat (takes a deep breath): tumhare samne itni lambi zindagi hai…tum isse akele kaise guzaarogi?
Purvi: meri kismat me jo hai wohi hoga naa…isse badal toh nahi sakti…
Rajat (getting up): Hamari kismat hamare haath me hai….tum chaho toh isse badal sakti ho…main tumhe khush dekhna chahta hoon..phir se hasta hua dekhna chahta hoon…
Rajat (takes a deep breath, sits next to her): Pari…kya tumhe mujhpe bharosa hai?
Purvi's heart thuds loudly – so what Asha said was right. Rajat was proposing her for marriage. She thinks about nothing, her heart wills her to say Yes, accept his love for her…
Purvi: ….haan…
Rajat looks in her eyes, Purvi looks at him too. He sees some new feelings in her- an expectation she has.
Rajat (looking away): Pari…koi hai jo tumhe apnana chahta hai…tumhe khush rakhna chahta hai…tumhara saath chahta hai…tumse….tumse shaadi karna chahta hai….
Purvi: hmmm…
Rajat: kya tum usse ek mauka dogi…
Purvi: Tum kiski baat kar rahe ho?
Rajat (slowly): Tum usse jaanti ho….
Purvi clutches her duppata tight.
Rajat (shuts his eyes): Pari…..main…kya tum…main tumse shaadi karna chahta hoon…
Purvi (stammer): Ra..Rajatt..yeh kya….
Rajat: Pari…yeh sach hai…kuch dino se mere mann me yeh baat chal rahi hai…main tumhe pasand karne laga hoon..tum ek dost se badhkar ho gayi ho ab mere liye….main hamare rishte ko ek naya naam dena chahta hoon..ek majboot jodh me baandhna chahta hoon…kya tumhe yeh manzoor hai….main tumhari marzi janna chahta hoon…
Purvi gets nervous, looks here and there.
Rajat: agar tumhe thoda waqt chahiye yeh sab sochne ke liye toh tum mujhe bataoo..
Purvi: main…main kya kahoon Rajat…meri..meri samajh me nahi aa raha hai…..mera dil…dil bahut ghabra raha hai..log kya kahenge ?
Rajat (holds her shoulder): mujhe logon ki parwaah nahi hai…Tum kya chahti ho yeh sunna hai…Pari kya tum phirse apna ghar basanaa chahti ho? Kya tum tayyar ho dobaara shaadi karne ke liye?
Purvi finds Rajat's ublinking gaze on her. She looks into his eyes, the same voices shout in her ears…
Tum ek vidwaah ho…tumhe khushiyon ka koi haq nahi hai…
She shuts her ears and steadies herself.
Rajat: Bolo Pari…kuch toh bolo…agar tumhari naa hai toh who bhi main sunna chahta hoon…
Purvi: Rajat….tumne hamesha mera saath diya hai…jab main roti thi tumne hasaaya hai, jab bhookhi thi tab apne haathon se khilaaya hai, maami ne meri padhaai rok di tab tumne mujhe padhaaya, Swaran ke jaaane ke baad mujhe sambhaaala hai, main jeena bhool gayi thi tumne mujhe phirse jeena sikhaaya hai…main jeena chahti hoon, khush rehna chahti hoon magar…
Rajat : magar…
Purvi (tears flowing): Magar…ek…ek vidwaah ki shaadi….. tumhare Maa Baapu..hamare gaav waale…woh nahi maanenge…
Rajat: Pari mujhe ek baat bataao..kya tum mujhse shaadi karna chahti ho?
Purvi: Magar….
Rajat (sternly): Tum kya chahti ho Pari?..mujhe saaf saaf bataoo..
Purvi looks into his eyes, she sees some images – of her laughing, being happy, dressed up in colours and in every frame there is Rajat with her !
Purvi: TERA SAATH… main hamesha tumhare saath rehna chahti hoon…
Saying this, she breaks down in tears. Rajat lets his tears fall down too. He steadies himself and wipes tears off Purvi's eyes. Purvi opens her eyes and looks at Rajat's assuring smile. She instinctively reflects the smile.
After sometime
Purvi: yeh sab kaise hoga Rajat?
Rajat: Main Maa baapu ko manaaonga….
Purvi (fear): who nahi maanenge….
Rajat: agar who nahi maanenge phir bhi hamari shaadi hogi…
Purvi: Nahi Rajat…mujhse waada karo….unki marzi ke binaa hum ek nahi honge…
Rajat: main aisa koi waada nahi karoonga…..
Purvi: tumhe meri kasam hai Rajat…
Rajat (angry): main iss kasam aur waade ko nahi maanta…
Purvi: Rajat hum ek samaaj me rehte hai…iss ke kuch niyam hai..jo saalon se chal rahe hai..isse ek din me toh badal nahi sakte naa…
Rajat: Maanta hoon ek din me hum kuch badal nahi sakte..magar jab tak hum pahel naa kare..koi badlaav nahi aayega…kisiko toh shuruat karni hogi naa…kya tum mere saath ho?
Purvi hostel
Asha opens the door with excitement. Purvi steps in slowly lost in her thoughts
Asha: Purvi…kya hua? Bata naa…Rajat ne kya kaha
Purvi: didi…aapne jo kaha wahi hua…
Asha (excited): Sach? Usne tujhse apne pyaar ka izhaar kiya? Toh tumne kya kaha?
Purvi (shy): who..maine…maine bhi haan kahaa…
Asha (happy): thank god…..main bahut khush hoon Purvi…tumhara ghar phir se bass jayegaa..
Purvi (scared): didi…yeh sab kaise hoga…mujhe bahut darr lag raha hai…maine sapne toh sajaa liye..darti hoon kahin toot na jaaye…main iss baar toot gayi toh phir sambhal nahi paaongi..
She hugs Asha in fear..
Asha (consoling): Sab theekh ho jayegaa….tumne khaana khaaya?
Purvi: hmm…hum dono ne khaa liya
Asha: aur kya kiya?
Purvi (shy): Ku..kuch nahi…
Asha (smiling): mujhse sharmaa rahi ho…bataoo naa…
Purvi: Nahi didi..sach me….kuch nahi…main bass Rajat ko samjhaa rahi thi….uske Maa Baapu ke marzi ke bina hum shaadi nahi karenge..aur woh nahi maan raha hai….
Asha: dekho Purvi..Rajat tumhare liye itna bada kadam uthaa raha hai….tum uska saath denaa..usse khush rakhna….ab tum dono ki umar bhi choti hai…yeh waqt hai ek saath khush rehne ka….
Rajat home
Nikhil: main bahut khush hoon Rajat…tum dono ek doosre ke liye bane ho….
Rajat: bass mere Maa Baapu maan jaaye..bahut mushkil hai magar Pari ki ichaa hai unke marzi ke bina hum ek naa ho…
Nikhil: toh unhe manaa looo
Rajat: Itna aasaan nahi hai yeh Nikhil….mere Maa Baapu bahut puraane khayal ke hai…unhe samjhaana mushkil hai…
Nikhil (smiles): Tumne sabse mushkil kaam toh kar liyaa…Purvi ko shaadi ke liye manaa liya…toh yeh bhi solve ho jayegi..
Rajat (mind): Main bhi yahi chahta hoon..sab theekh ho jaaye..Pari ko uske haq ki khushiyaan mile…
Purvi (mind): Mujhe tumhara saath chahiye Rajat….magar kisika dil dukhaakar nahi…Hey devi maa…main bas itna maangti hoon….meri hisse ki khushiyaan mujhe de dijiye…
