Chapter 57: The Happy Ending of a New Beginning.
Morning: PRADYUMAN Mansion -
Maine haara, main tera saara main
Meetha meetha tu, haan khaara khaara main
Tera saara main, saara main
RAJAT was sitting at the lawn on the wooden stool waiting for the haldi rasam to begin and there he saw PURVI in a white anarkali walking in with TASHA and other girls.
Sindoori rang suhagan saccha
Saccha re sarmaya jo paaya hai woh
Tu dil mein maahi aaya hai
Maine maahi paaya hai
Nazar laaye naa, koi nazar laaye naa
PURVI happily raised her both hands showing her Mehandi colour to RAJAT and he raised his left hand showing the Mehandi ANU and SAKSHI put on in his hand when he was stealing a nap at the hall in between the pre-wedding rituals before smiling at each other.
TASHA & girls groups makes PURVI sit on the other side wooden stool parallel to RAJAT and TARIKA & SHREYA brings the haldi paste.
AJJI being the elder started the function putting haldi on RAJVI sitting at two sides and after that the whole group attack the two before going after their own partners as RAJVI watched them and then smiled at each other from their places.
Morning: Wedding Day -
The stage was set for the D-Day to celebrate the wedding anniversary of ABHIRIKA & DAREYA together with the engagement & Sangeet ceremony of RAJVI full of CID family and friends in the house.
A soft melody played in the background gaining the attention of the guest as...
Hmm... Tere badan pe likh doon chhupa ke
Apni koi nayi daastaan
ABHIRIKA walked down the stage with hands in hand looking at each other happily in Maharashtriyan traditional attire.
Saaya bhi tera rakh loon chura ke
Dhoondhe humein phir ye jahaan
DAYA lead SHREYA to the stage looking lovingly at each other in Gujarati traditional outfit.
Haan chhoda sab maanga tujhe oo..
Haan chhoda sab maanga tujhe
Main ab raha na mera
The two couples did couple dance together with the music lost in each other's eyes turning the atmosphere all romantic.
Heeriye.. Heeriye..
Main Ranjhana tera (x2)
ABHIJEET and DAYA both went on one knee spreading their arms wide open in front of their wives singing and the two ladies blushed smiling at their partners.
Heeriye.. Heeriye..
Main Ranjhana tera (x2)
One by one all the couples walked down the stage. SAJAL in South Indian, VIVESHA in Bengali, NIVYA in Punjabi, VIHANA in rajasthani, PARANA and RAFANI in Kashmiri and FRENISHA in Indian wear performing one-one dance moves.
Finally the bride and groom made their entry from opposite side.
Hai saaz tu, tera tarz main
Tu hai dava aur marz main
Dildaar tu. khudgarz main
RAJAT looked at PURVI as she smiled raising her gaze up at him stopping RAJAT's heartbeat.
He sees her everyday but today she didn't looked like ABHIJEET's sister he cares for nor the friend or the woman he loves.
Hai geet tu, tere lafz main
Tu hai duaa aur farz main
Aazad tu aur karz main
Today she looked like the women of his life, his better half where the heaven of his life lies.
Hai shaam tu, taareef main
Tu chain hai, taqleef main
Tujhse mila to paa liya
Har cheez main...
She just looked like an angel in the beautiful pink lehanga as the girls join her bringing her in the middle.
Hai khwab tu taabeer main
Maana tujhe taqdeer mein
Tera hua is bheed main, is bheed main...
They sit side by side looking at each other as RAJAT slid the ring into her finger.
Hai teri meherbani...
Ke andheron se hum muqar gaye
Hai teri meherbani...
Ke bin jaane hi hum sanwar gaye
And PURVI happily slid the ring into his finger as he kept admiring her.
Everyone clapped happily pulling the two to dance floor and danced happily around the two bringing out the joy of their heart.
The boys teased RAJAT to the point he shook legs with them on the music and the function ends with ABHIRIKA & DAREYA cutting their anniversary cake with ABHAY and DIYA.
Wedding Night:
PURVI dressed in bridal gown stood at the balkini with the girls group watching TARIKA and SHREYA welcoming the baraat at the gate.
Main taa tere naal hi rehna ji
Har gham sang tere sehna ji
Jo jag se kaha na jaaye woh
Mujhko bas tujhse kehna ji
RAJAT looked PURVI at the balkini ready in bridal dress staring her as TARIKA did his aarti before walking towards the wedding mandap.
Lawn: Wedding mandap -
Sohna sohna itna bhi kaise tu sohna
Sohna sohna itna bhi kaise tu sohna
RAJAT smiled watching PURVI as she walked down the aisle under the chunri held by her two brothers and Sister-in-law's.
Tere ishq mein jogi hona
Mainu jogi hona
Sohna sohna itna bhi kaise tu sohna
Tere ishq mein jogi hona..
Mainu jogi hona… [x4]
PURVI smiled at him and he smiled back at her as they exchanged Garland's in between the loud clapping.
The priest chanted the sacred Mantras and TARIKA tied the knot before RAJAT looked in PURVI's eyes and extended his hand to her.
PURVI's eyes shined through bright smile as she held his hand.
|| MANGALYAM TANTUNANENA MAMA JEEVANA HETUNA:
KANTHE BADHNAMI SUBHAGE TWAM JEEVA SARADA SATAM ||[x2]
RAJAT lead his bride in red holding her hand walking around the sacred fire taking seven circles, each circle with each vow, binding his relation with her for the next seven lives as their loved ones happily showered flower petals on them.
PURVI's heart raced with joy and he felt a satisfied feeling while taking those circles around the fire with her.
As the circles get completed, the priest asked RAJAT to put the vermillion on bride's hairline and tie the mangalsutra.
Ho… ishq ka rang safed piya
Na chhal na kapat na bhed piya
Sau rang mile tu ikk warga
Phir...Aatish ho ya ret piya, ret piya
RAJAT looked at PURVI as SHREYA handed him the vermillion and he put it on PURVI's hairline.
Next TARIKA gave him the mangalsutra and RAJAT tied it around PURVI's neck.
Main laakh sambhal ke jaani
Tu nadiya aur main paani
Ikk tujhme hi behne ka raasta
Sau baar samajh ke maani
Mera qissa teri kahaani
Jo jud jaaye toh mukammal vaasta.. haye!
RAJAT looked at PURVI happily as the priest declared them husband & wife but she just kept admiring him. It's been almost 4 years she knows him and whenever she looked at him, she found a tender look, a gentle smile, concerned eyes and caring gestures from him each time.
Sohna sohna itna bhi kaise tu sohna
Tere ishq mein jogi hona
Mainu jogi hona
RAJAT seeing her gaze fixed on him gestured her with eyes 'What happened?'
PURVI smiled off nodding in nothing.
Priest asked the couple to take the blessing of the elders and the two first went to AJJI as she kept her hand on their head saying: Khush raho.'
She caressed both of their faces saying: Every ending has a new beginning. This happy ending is just a new beginning. Marriage is like a journey of 7 seas of the 7 vows you took at the marriage. You have just held each other's hand and now you have to cross those 7 seas holding that hand firm till the end. Humesha ek dusre ke saath aur ek dusre ke liye rahna. God bless you.'
RAJVI together hugged AJJI.
Next they moved to ABHIRIKA as they hugged their own siblings.
TARIKA to RAJAT: AJJI ki baat humesha yaad rakhna. She said the same words to us 3 years ago.'
ABHIJEET to RAJAT: Apne dil ka tudka de raha hoon. Khyaal rakhna.' and changing his tone to scary one said: Warna...'
RAJAT quickly spoke up: Warna aapke upar wale flat ke upar hi rahta hoon.'
ABHIJEET: Right.'
RAJAT assured him: Don't worry, apne dil ka hissa banake rakhunga.'
ABHIJEET smiled and the two moved to DAREYA as they hugged them congratulating and wishing them.
They took the blessings of the other elders and seniors and got hugs from their juniors with the best wishes.
Next day: Morning -
The house was quiet silent as all the member's were sleeping peacefully in the morning after the marriage function ended late night.
In boy's room ABHIJEET gets a call and his sleep snapped as he reacted: What?'
DAYA next to him asked seeing his shocked face: What happened?'
ABHIJEET annoyed: RAJVI!'
And he walked out of the room before DAYA could react.
Outside TARIKA & SHREYA was already up playing with DIYA and sees ABHIJEET swiftly walking towards RAJVI's room.
They saw DAYA following ABHIJEET and went after him asking: What happened?'
DAYA: He got a call and now moving towards RAJVI's room.'
ABHIJEET opened RAJVI's door to see they weren't in their room in fact they weren't in the whole mansion.
SHREYA asked: Does they got kidnapped again?'
DAYA: SHREYA, how can two CID officers get kidnap from the house full of CID officers?'
After checking the parking area they found TARIKA's Jeep missing.
DAYA: Aise bina bataye dono kahaan ja sakte hai?'
ABHIJEET gets in a car saying: I know where they are.'
TARIKA asked SHREYA to take care of ABHAY before joining ABHIJEET as he drove off.
On the way -
TARIKA asked in the car: ABHIJEET, tum bataoge kya baat hai?'
ABHIJEET: Ye to ab tumhare Bhai bahen hi batayenge.'
ABHIJEET stopped the car in front of the police station rushing into the building with TARIKA right behind him.
They looked around the station to see all the police staff was at their desk, a young girl was sitting at the bench, 4 goons like faces men locked in a cell and in the next cell were RAJVI.
ABHIJEET & TARIKA respectively said aloud 'RAJAT/PURVI' drawing the attention of RAJVI and the inspector.
RAJVI stood holding the bar of the cell with puppy face: Brother/Bhabhi.'
ABHIRIKA approached towards them before the inspector blocked the two asking: Aap dono in dono ko jante ho?'
ABHIJEET showing RAJAT: Mera saala hai ye.'
TARIKA showing PURVI: Aur meri nanand hai wo.'
ABHIJEET: Why did you lock them up?
Inspector to ABHIJEET: Aapka saala inki nanand ko kal raat shaadi se bhagaa le gaya. Hume iske paas se gun bhi mili hai.'
Constable spoke up from behind: Aur to aur jab sir ne Ma'm ko iske (RAJAT) saath lock up me daalne se manaa kiya to inhone (PURVI)...'
The Constable was shut by inspector's glare.
TARIKA asked: To inhone..?'
Constable in a low voice said: To inhone sir ke gaal pe jad diya.'
Inspector and PURVI looked down embarrassed while ABHIRIKA looked shocked as ABHIJEET asked PURVI: Thappad?'
And then scolded RAJAT: Kal raat ko hi to shaadi thi phir bhagane ki kya jaroorat thi?'
RAJAT: Sir, wahi to mai pichhle 2 ghante se inhe samjhane ki koshish kar raha hoon ke mai apni hi wife ko Kyu bhagaunga?'
PURVI added: Aur naahi mai apni shaadi se bhaagi balki apne hi husband ke saath hoon.'
Inspector to PURVI: Ma'm humne aapke hone wale husband ko inform kar diya hai. Wo kuch hi der me yaha pahochte honge. Aap unse shaanti se baat karke apna love matter solve kar sakti hai.'
RAJAT: Kaun sa Husband? Husband to mai hoon aur wo bhi hone wala nahi, ho chuka husband.'
Inspector looking at RAJAT said: Kal raat ko inke Bhai ne inki shaadi se bhaag jane ki report likhayi thi. Wo inhe lene yaha pahochte hi honge.'
ABHIJEET: Kya? Bhai to mai hoon aur wo bhi yaha. Maine to koi report nahi likhayi.'
Inspector to ABHIJEET: Aapne nahi. (Showing PURVI) inke Bhai ne.'
ABHIJEET: Haan to mai hi inka Bhai hoon.'
Inspector showing RAJAT: Ek minute, aapka to saala hai na.'
ABHIJEET showing RAJVI said: Saala bhi mera hai aur bahen bhi meri hai.'
Inspector looked confused: What?'
TARIKA spoke up: Inspector aapko jaroor koi misunderstanding huyi hogi. Ye humare bhai-bahen hai aur Kal hi inki shaadi huyi hai. Aur hum Sab CID officers hai. Aap chahe to cross check kar sakte hai.'
Before the inspector could react they heard a voice calling out: 'URVI...'
All looked at the door to see a man and Inspector asked: To phir inki hone wali wife kaun hai?'
The man walked straight towards PURVI as she watched him in horror asking ABHIJEET: Bhai, meri koi twin sister to nahi hai na?'
The other sibling looked shocked at the two while ABHIJEET still staring the guy snapped: Nahi... Nahi... Mujhe achhe se yaad hai. Hum dono dad ke ekluate hai, son & daughter.'
Again all looked at the person as PURVI asked fearfully: To ye meri taraf aise kyu aa raha hai?'
But to their relief the guy passed by turning other side going straight to the girl just stood up from the bench seeing him and hugged her.
RAJAT eyed the inspector emphasizing: URVI! Aur ye hai PURVI. Meri PURVI.'
Inspector asked the guy: Is she your would-be-wife?'
The guy nodded in yes.
And inspector asked URVI: Why didn't you tell us that you are the escaped bride?'
URVI showing PURVI in bridal dress said: I thought she also escaped from her wedding and police must be looking for her. So I didn't say anything.'
Flashback:
URVI escaped from her house alone on the wedding day because she loved her childhood friend and on the way she missed the last bus.
So, she kept walking on the empty road at night when a gang of 4 men passing by the road saw her alone and tried to manhandle her forcefully taking her in their van.
RAJVI was passing by the road in their Jeep and heard the scream of a girl for help from the van.
Instinctively RAJAT reversed the Jeep following the van and overtook it to a halt.
RAJVI saw two men holding a girl at the backseats and two men come out of the van.
RAJVI looked at each other nodding their head and RAJAT checked the dashboard of the Jeep and luckily found TARIKA's gun in it and got down the Jeep pointing the gun at the two man with PURVI beside him saying: Free the girl right now.'
The two men stared RAJVI top to toe in wedding outfits and smirked at them.
The gun fell down from RAJAT's hand as they looked other two guys also get down the van before one of them threw a bear bottle on his hand making the gun fell.
RAJAT without wasting a moment punched the 1st man while PURVI taking the advantage of the distraction hit the 2nd person in front her taking down the 3rd men with her graceful spin kick in the bridal gown as the 4th men watched her in Awe.
Even RAJAT stopped for a moment to watch PURVI before his eyes fell on the 4th man gawking PURVI in amaze and he left the 1st man grabbing the 4th one saying 'Wife hai meri' before punching him.
After that RAJVI beat the 4 men black and blue before RAJAT held the 4 men on their knees wielding gun at them while PURVI untied the girl.
The girl thanked RAJVI and just then the police on patrolling arrived at the scene looking for the escaped bride and arrested the other 4 criminals including RAJAT for escaping the bride from her wedding mistaking PURVI for the escaped bride.
RAJVI tried a lot to explain the inspector but looking at the circumstantial situation he didn't listened anything pushing RAJVI into the lock up.
Flashback end.
PRADYUMAN Mansion:
All the eyes gaped at RAJVI sitting at the couch surrounded by the CID members and family.
SHREYA in disbelief: You guys spent your first night in the lock up?'
RAJAT with an idiotic smile: No. We just spent the first dawn of the morning in the lock up.'
PURVI cheerfully agreed: Yeah.'
VINEET: Why you are so happy after ending up in lock up being a CID officer?'
PURVI: Kyu usme bura kya hai?'
RAJAT: Haan. Mahatma Gandhi bhi to jail gaye the...'
PURVI gladly: Aur phir kitne mahaan ho gaye.'
All shook their head at the two impossibly.
AJJI supported RAJVI: Sahi to kah rahe hai dono. Aur socho, agar ye dono bahar nahi jate to URVI ko kaise bachate?'
All agreed with it and ABHIJEET said: Isliye jo hota hai achhe ke liye hota hai.'
TARIKA agreed 'Right!' and ABHIRIKA smiled looking at each other before KAJAL asked: Waise URVI ka kya hua?'
PURVI: Maze ki baat ye thi ke uska would be husband hi uska childhood love tha aur isse pahle wo URVI ko ye bata paata, URVI shaadi se bhaag chuki thi.'
SHREYA: That's the happy ending for them.'
DAYA said: And for us too. Reception se pahle Bride & Groom mil gaye.'
SACHIN asked RAJVI: Tum dono ko yaad to hai na aaj tumhara wedding reception hai?'
RAJVI nodded and ABHIJEET said: All right! Everybody let's get ready for it!'
All nodded and dispersed to their respective room to get ready for the reception.
