A/N Yo guys! I hope you all are doing good.
This story 'Mumbai:1970' is a joint venture between me and luvcidduodosti.
The name suggests the place and timeline the story's been written in. I hope y'all are aware of the situation Mumbai was in, in that period. If not, well, you'll get the idea after reading this. (Those who've watched PARINDA movie, y'all are good 👍)
So this chap's been written by Luvcidduodosti and has been edited by me.
Enjoy!
The whole environment looked treacherous. The people at the place weren't any less dangerous.
"Toh kay socha Daya?" The elderly man smirked. It was clear from his demeanor that he was a goon.
"Apun karega shadi bhau." Daya said, looking down. He had never felt so humiliated in his entire lifetime.
"Kya? Sunayi nahi diya." The man loved to see the look of dejection on this man's face.
"Karega shaadi main. Laundi kidhar hai?" Daya looked straight into the other man's eyes.
"Tarika beti, Shreya ko leke aao." He said caressing his daughter's hair. She glanced at Daya for once and then left from there.
"Bhau, lekin pehle apun apne bhai se milega." Daya said determined.
"Chal. Aye Pakya, le jaa ise iske bhai ke pass." The man called out to his henchman and he took daya to a cell .
"Panch minute hai tere pass. Bhau ko intezar karna nahi pasand." Pakya said dangerously and left.
Daya closed his eyes, took a deep breath and entered the cell.
"Kyu aaya hai tu yaha? Ja jake Ganesh ke pair chaat." Abhijeet said in a chewing tone, as soon as he saw his brother.
"Bhai ye ap kya..." Daya said in shock but was interrupted by Abhijeet.
"Margela hai tera bhai..issi zaban se tu shaadi ke liye haan bola hai...maine kaha tha terese ki Ganesh mera lash bhi rakhde tere samne, tu jhukna nahi us kamine ke samne." Abhijeet yelled.
"Bhai apko Ganesh mardeta toh ye dhandha, shauharat leke kya karta main?" Daya said slowly.
Before abhijeet could reply, Pakya entered the cell with
"Aaja chal...shaadi ka time horela hai," then glancing at Abhijeet he said, "ey shaane tu bhi chal... dulhe ka bhai thehra tu"
Stealing a glance, both of them followed Pakya to the mandap. There, Daya saw a girl conversing with the pandit, rather threatening him.
"Ey pandit, ye kya lagna wagera kehrela hai, chup chap shaadi karwa aur katle patli gali se!" The girl said, holding the gun near the pandit's temple.
The pandit was shaking with fear. "Beti shastro-"
"Ey shaane, tereko akal nahi hai, ye sab bekar ke cheez hum nahi mante." Shreya said, removing the safety lock.
"Beti phir toh shaadi ka hi..." The pandit was shocked as the girl fired in the air.
"Kehreli hoo main shaadi karwa aur katle, warna shashtra padhne ke layak nahi bachega tu" She shouted.
Judging by her demeanor and her dress, Daya knew that she was Shreya.
"Bohot tewar hai tereme, sara tewar agar nahi nikal diya tera, mera naam bhi Daya nahi hai." He eyed her dangerously and she glanced back equally furious.
The pandit started the marriage without any delay as he wanted to go away as fast as he could from this dangerous place.
Abhijeet looked at the ceremony with moist eyes. "Kitne sapne sajaye the mere chote bhai ki shaadi ke...ye ladki pakka uski zindagi barbaad kardegi.."
He saw another girl looking at the ceremony in disgust.
"Ye duniya toh aisi hai...ki kuch bhi ho, sara ilzam sala ladki pe...pata nahi ye ladka kya karega meri behen ke sath... waisebhi usne kitni kam umar mein wo sab saha hai...deva suraksha karna" tarika thought.
All the rituals had been done.
"Ab var badhu ko mangalsutra pehnaye." Pandit jee said, still visibly shaken.
Daya took the mangalsutra and tied it on shreya's neck a bit too tightly.
"Tune aur tere baap ne bohot galat admi ke sath panga leliya hai.." He whispered in her ears
"Panga toh ab tune leliya hai patidev...aage aage dekh iss Shreya ka kamal!" She said venomously whilst adjusting the mangalsutra.
