It was the day of Kuki and Kavin's engagement and Ruhana and Angel's Godh bharayi. It wss decided that The engagement will take place in the afternoon and after lunch, it will be the function of godhbharayi.
Vineet and Angel were looking after all the engagements. Kuki seemed happy. Angel was helping her get ready. Ruhana entered in with two cups of coffee. She looked at Kuki and found her dressed in a pink colored lehenga. She was looking beautiful. Ruhana kept the tray on the table and kissed on her forehead….
"Kavin ke pyar ka rangtoh abhi se dikh raha hai." She said.
Kuki blushed and hugged her. Angel said…
"Han..aur usse achi baat yeh hai ki saasu maa maan gayi…" she said.
" haan…acha tum dono coffee pi lo, fir Angel tu kuki ko neeche le aana. Main baaki cheezein dekhti hu." Ruhana said.
Kuki and Angel nodded and she moved out and was fast enough. On the way, Vineet caught her hand…
"Zara aaram se kaam 're not alone now." He said.
She smiled….."Don't worry, kuch nahi hoga."
"han han…..dikh raha hain. By the way, tumne aur Angel ne kuch khaya ?"
"haan…abhi angel aur kuki ko coffee de ke aa rahi hu." She said.
He shaked his head and took her downstairs to make her have some breakfast.
.
A while later. Everyon was gathered in the hall where the engagement was to take place. Kavin came there. He smiled looking at Shashikala…
"Dekha saasu maa, maine kaha tha na ki Kuki ko main apni dulhaniya bana ke le jaunga. Dekhiye aap ne hi haan ki hain." He said with a cheeky smile.
"haan haan thik hai. Lekin dekho meri beti ki aankhon mein aansu aaye na, toh mujhse bura koi ni hoga…samjhe!"she said.
"Chinta mat kijiye saasu maa…..main aapki beti ko palkon pe bitha ke rakhunga…I promise. Aur Kavin khanna jo kehta hai wo karta hain." He said.
"theek hain… theek hain" She said.
At the same time, she saw Angel coming down with kuki. Kavin looked at Kuki and was mesmerized. His eyes twinkled. Sachin patted his shoulder….
"Thoda sabar kijiye jamai raja….meri behen aayegi toh tumhare hi paas." He teased.
Kavin smiled shyly. Angel made Kuki stand beside him and the ceremony began. Kuki and Kavin exchanged rings and took blessings of all the elders including Sachin-Angel and Ruhana- Vineet. Angel looked at Kuki…
"Dekho Kuki, maine jo waada kiya tha pura kar diya…dekho karva di na tum dono ki sagayi." She winked at them.
Kuki blushed and nodded…Kavin looked at her…
"Han bhabhi..aap great ho. Pata nahi aap log nahi hote toh kya hota. Thank you so much." He said.
Vineet patted his shoulder…."ab yeh toh hume karna hi tha….tumne humari kitni madad kit hi." He said.
"Han lekin ab hume kya karna hai, wo pata hai na?" Ruhana asked looking at the rest five.
"Kya karna hai bhabhi?" Kavin asked.
"Nahi RUhana…..ab ye sachchai tumhare aur angel ki godh bharayi ke baad hi khulegi." Sachin said.
"Lekin hum ab hi bata dete hain." She said.
" Nahi RUhana…..please yeh function khatam hone de….fir hum sabko sach bata denge. " Angel said.
Ruhana seemed worried but Vineet calmed her. Meanwhile , their mother in law called them for lunch.
.
Two hours later..
Shashikala was busy in checking the settings for godh bharayi. The hall was decorated beautifully. Shashikala ji was quite happy. She was happily receiving the guests. As she was very particular, she asked Kuki to bring Ruhana and Angel down for the rasm of Godh Bharayi. Kuki obeyed and moved towards Ruhana's Room(actually Sachin's Room) where both sisters were.
Vineet and Sachin were busy in chores when Kavin saw Sachin thinking something. He went to him…
"Kya baat hai Bhai? Pareshan kyun ho?"
"Kuch nahi Kavin."he smiled.
"Nahi nahi….aapke chehre pe saaf likha hai ki kuch toh baat hai. Bolo na." he insisted.
" kuch khaas nahi kavin….tu yahan akele …kuki kahan hai?" he asked.
"Wo bhabhiyon ko bulaane gayi hai. Saasu maa ne bol ahai…" he said.
Sachin smiled. Meanwhile, Vineet came there…."Kya hua bhayi?"
Sachin suddenly held his hands. Vineet smiled…
"Chinta mat karo. Jab ab tak sab thik tha, aage bhi rahega. Aap kyun chinta karte ho. Maa ko samajhna hoga aur wo samjhengi toh unhe batana chahte they na?" he said.
Sachin smiled. Meanwhile they found Ruhana and Angel coming down. Angel was wearing Red colored Lehenga. It was gifted to her by Sachin on her birthday. While Ruhana was in Lavendor colored Lehenga, Ofcourse, it was Vineet's choice for her. While descending down the stairs , suddenly Ruhana's leg slipped off the stairs. A loud sigh echoed in the hall.
"Aaahhh!"
Angel got panicked seeing her and to support her, Angel too stumbled a few stairs but Sachin saved her, but in the process, she went had by then stumbled down the stairs. Vineet ran to Ruhana. He kept her head on his lap…
"Ruhana….aankhein kholo Ruhana! Please…for God's sake! Open your eyes."
But she was unconscious. Alok and Shashikala were bewildered to see them.
Shashikala tried to ask but Vineet shut her ….
"maa, abhi aapke sawalon ka jawab dene ka time nahi hai. Baad mein batata hoon."
She looked at both of them but Vineet frowned. Kuki came to his rescue…
"Vineet bhaiya…bahar Kavin hain, aap log dono bhabhiyon ko hospital leke jao."
Sachin and Vineet rushed holding Angel and Ruhana in their arms.
.
Jeevan Jyoti Hospital.
Sachin and Vineet hurried inside the hospital. Vineet moved on recpetion asking for DrAnjali Gupta, who was his friend. The receptionist called DrAnjali and she asked them to admit Ruhana and Angel immediately.
.
A while later, DrAnjali came out and moved to Vineet. Vineet hurried to ask…
"Angel aur Ruhana kaise hain?"
Anjali looked at him…."Vineet, hume jald se jald Ruhana ka operation karna hoga. Angel is fyn, lekin unhe bhi internal chot aayi hain, shayad unki delivery bhi operation se karvani hogi. We need your consent! "
She looked at both Vineet and Sachin. Sachin looked at her….
"Thik hai doctor, aap form dijiye. I am Angel's husband Sachin and he is Ruhana's husband."
She nodded and gave them a Both signed the papers….Sachin signed consent form for Angel and Vineet signed it for Ruhana. DrAnjali left from there.
.
As soon as doctor left, their mother shouted on them…
"Yeh sab kya hain? Andaaza bhi hai kya kar rahe ho tum dono?"
"Hume ache se pata hai maa…..aur humne jo kiya tumhari wajah se hi kiya." Sachin said.
"Meri wajah se….aisa kya kiya maine? Aur yeh ulte papers kyun sign kiye?" she asked.
"Kyunki yahi sach hai Maa… Main Ruhana se pyar karta hoon aur Sachin Angel se." Vineet said.
Shashikala was bewildered…."yeh…yeh sab chal raha tha meri peeth peeche? " she shouted.
"Maa….please….yeh operation ho jaaye fir shanti se bat karenge aur haan, humne kuch galat nahi kiya." Vineet said.
Kuki tried to calm her mother…."Mumma…shant ho jao. Sachin aur Vineet bhaiya ne kuch galat nahi kiya. Haan bas ek hi galti hui unse, unhone aapse sach chhupaya." She said.
Shashikala glanced at them and left from the hospital. Meanwhile, Angel and Ruhana's parents were also informed. They were also bewildered to know what had happened between the four of them. Kiran and Shashikala were angry while their fathers were calm as always. Vineet sent their parents home with Kuki and Kavin. Only Sachin and Vineet were there at the hospital.
.
Few Hours Later..
DrAnjali came out of the OT. Sachin and Vineet rushed to them. Vineet looked at his friend..
"Angel aur Ruhana thik hain na?"
Anjali nodded and looked at Sachin…" ….Congratualtions. It's a baby boy."
Sachin smiled…."Thanks! Angel thik hain na?"
Anjali looked at him…."Yes , She is fine. We will shift her in normal ward in a while. You can meet your wife and baby then."
Sachin nodded and Vineet moved to her…."Ruhana kaisi hain? "
Anjali looked at her…."Ruhana toh thik hain lekin….." she paused in between.
Vineet looked at her….."Lekin kya? Ruhana aur bachcha dono thik hain na?" he asked again.
"I am sorry Vineet….Ruhana toh thik hain lekin tumhara bachcha…..i am sorry I couldn't save your baby." She said.
Vineet froze at his place. Anjali kept her hand on his shoulder…
"Vineet, I am sorry lekin internal bleeding ki wajah se hum sirf Ruhana ko bacha paaye hain." She said. Vineet nodded and left from there. Anjali looked at Sachin who assured her…
"Aap chinta mat kijiye doctor. Usey main dekhta hoon." She nodded.
.
Vineet went out of the hospital. Tears brimmed in his eyes. He was so happy to hold his own part in his hands but now it was all gone. He didn't knew how will he face Ruhana. A while before they were planning to tell the truth to their parents but now everything was changed. He had lost his child. He knew the questions in everyone's eyes and most of all, he was worried about how will he convince Ruhana.
He came out of his trance with a warm touch on his shoulder. He blinked his eyes and turned to find Sachin. He hugged him…
"Congratulations Bhai…. Main toh chacha ban gaya." He said.
Sachin hugged him back. Vineet held his hand….
"Ab tum yahan kya kar rahe ho? Angel aur mere bhatije se nahi milna?" he questioned.
Sachin stopped him by holding his hand…."Tu mujhse jhooth bolega?"
Vineet smiled…."Maine koi jhooth nahi bola. And I am fine…ab chalo." Hepulled him in,not letting himself weak in front of his brother.
.
They entered the hospital and the nurse came and informed that Angel and Ruhana were shifted to a personal Room and now they can meet them. There were two different rooms for both the girls. Vineet asked Sachin to move to Angel while he shared both the good and bad news to Kuki. The family came rushing in some time.
.
Angel's Room
Sachin entered the room to find Angel was sleeping on her bed. She had a cradle beside her with the little baby boy sleeping in it. Sachin admired both Angel and the baby and kissed Angel on her forehead. She woke up realizing his touch. He smiled and whispered a thank you to her. She smiled back and tried to sit up. He helped her sit up and himself sat near her. He held the baby boy in his arms. He looked at Angel …
"Thanks Angel…isse khubsurat tohfa toh kuch nahi ho sakta."
Angel smiled. She looked around…
"Koi dikh nahi raha. Sab log kahan hain?" she asked.
"Sabko sach pata chal gaya hain." He informed.
"Kya? Mom naraz hain…." He said.
"Ruhana kahan hain?" she asked.
"Wo dusre room mein hain…lekin…" but he paused in between.
"Lekin kya ? Kaisi hai wo? Usey zyada chot toh nahi aayi?" she asked all in one go.
"She lost her baby." He informed her.
Angel was shocked to know this. …"Aisa kaise? I mean …kahan hai wo….mujhe usse milna hai."
Sachin calmed her and asked her to meet after some time.
Ruhana's Room..
Vineet entered the room and saw her lying on the bed facing the wall. It seemed that she was sleeping but sleep was away from her eyes. Vineet moved to sit near her and caressed her hairs. She looked at him and tried to sit up. He helped her sit and she curled up her legs to her chest. Tears rolled down her eyes as she glanced at him….
"I am sorry Vineet! Main tumhara sapna pura kar hi nahi paayi…..wo sapna jo humne mil ke dekha tha! Wo khubsurat sapna toot gaya Vineet…..toot gaya."
She cried hiding her face in her knees. Vineet sat on the bed and made her face himself. She held his hands….
"Humne kitna kuch socha tha na Vineet…..sab khatam ho gaya….sab kuch…" Her voice choked.
Even he had tears in his eyes. He knew what she must be going through but he decided to be storng for her. He cupped her face…
"Shaant ho jaao Ruhana. Jo hua ,usme tumhari koi galti nahi thi. Shayad bhagwan ko bhi yahi manzoor tha. Tum thik ho na, mere liye wahi kaafi hai. Agar tumhe kuch ho jata toh main kaise jeeta? "
She looks at him and then hugs him burying her face in his chest, crying. He hugged her back smearing her head…
" Hum dono saath hain toh kya kami hain…haan! Agar kismat mein hoga toh jo khoya hain, wo phir se paa lenge." He said trying to comfort her.
She parted the hug to look at him…
"Kaash yeh sab kuch nahi hua hota Vineet! Yeh toh humara sapna tha na….aise hi toot jaane diya maine usey… Agar…..agar aisa nhi hua hota toh tumhare aankhon mein aansu nahi hothon pe muskaan hoti. Mujhe dhyan rakhna chahiye tha. Maine toh tumse tumhara tohfa pehle hi chheen liya. I am sorry Vineet."
He didn't say a word but pulled her in a hug instead.
.
Next day , Angel and Ruhana were discharged. Sachin and Vineet took them to their respective rooms. Shashikala and Kiran didn't say a word. Ruhana was sitting on her bed holding a pink colored teddy bear in her arms. She remembered how happy Vineet was to know that he was going to be a father and so he brought two large sized teddy bears that of pink and blue colors. Tears brimmed her eyes as she could see only pain and sadness in Vineet's eyes. She came out of her thoughts when she felt a soft touch on her hands. She looked up to find Angel sitting near her. She smiles at her but at the same time Angel hugs her. She knew what her sister was going through. Angel parted the hug and looked at her sister and pressed her hands lightly….
"Ruhana,main jaanti hoon, tujhpe kya beet rahi ye bhi jaanti hoon kii jo hua usey bhulanamushkil hain lekin tujhe koshish toh karni padegi na. Aur zaroori toh nahi ki jo ek baar hua wo baar baar hoga. Aur phir hum sab hai na…..sab thik ho jayega."
Ruhana nodded and smiled. At the same time, their mother entered in…
"Ab kya thik hoga Angel? Shashiji ne sab bata diya hain mujhe….yeh sab kya tha? Shadi mein gadbad aur ab yeh sab? Chahte kya ho tum log?" she said.
"Mumma…humne batane ki koshish kit hi lekin koi humari baat sunne ke liye raazi nahi tha. Isliye hume aisa karna pada." Angel stated.
" Aur ye idea bhi tera hi hoga? Aise ulte kaam tu hi karti hain." she said scolding her.
"Drama aap logon ki wajah se karna pada hume Mumma…..saasu maa bhi kuch sunne ko ready nahi thi. Toh hum kya karte?" angel said.
"Yeh jo aaj ho raha hain na, sab tum logon ki galti ka nateeja hai. Apni behen ko dekh…kya haalat hai uski" She said.
"Mumma please….Angel ko kyun dant rahi ho? Mere sath jo hua , wo meri kismat hai. Shayad yeh waqt mera nahi tha , isliye bhagwan ne mere bachche ko is duniya mein aane hi nahi diya. Aur rahi baat jhooth ki, toh haan humne bola jhooth kyunki hume wahi sahi laga. Hum toh sach batana hi chahte they lekin yeh nahi pata tha ki sach aise saamne aayega." Ruhana said.
Kiran sat near her…"beta main samajhti hu….lekin tujhe aise dekh ke …" she paused. Ruhana hugged her mother tight.
.
The days were passing. Everything was getting normal. ALokji and Shashikalaji had accepted the change. Angel seemed busy with her baby. Sachin and Angel had named their little boy as Saransh. Ruhana kept herself busy in the house chores and office too, as Vineet asked her to.
.
One day, as Ruhana was doing some chores she heard baby cries from Angel's room. She moved inside the room and found little boy crying. She looked around but didn't find Angel anywhere. She held the baby boy in her arms. The little boy was still crying but turned quiet as she swayed him up and down. She also knew that it was his sleeping around. She held the baby in her arms and started humming a song….
Ra ri ra ri ra rum..
Ra ri ra ri ra rum..
She looked at the boy and found him looking at her…
Sun sun nanhe lori ki dhun
Ho ja meethe sapnon mein gum
She kept on moving holding him in her arms..
Sun sun nanhe lori ki dhun
Ho ja meethe sapnon mein gum
Tu mera suraj hai
Tu mera chanda hai
Tu meri aankhon ka tara hai sun..
Sun sun nanhe lori ki dhun..
Ho ja meethe sapnon mein gum
The little boy smiled. Ruhana smiled a little and kissed on his forehead and placed him on the bed..
Mere ladle ..tujhko odhaun aanchal
She covered him with the blanket and kept on patting him on his head.
Aa thapkiyon se sulaun tujhe
Main taaron ki nagri se nindiya bulaun..
ankhiyon mein teri chupaun usey
Nindiya kya tere liye tare laun
Maa ka tu nanha dulara hai sun..
Sun sun nanhe lori ki dhun
Ho ja meethe sapnon mein gum..
She glanced at the baby boy , who was now asleep. She lied beside the baby boy and kept on admiring him unaware that someone was watching her.
