Chapter 58: "Epilogue: Thank you."
Lawn: Wedding Reception -
Dabi dabi si hansi hontho pe phansi hai
Gudgudi kar rahi hawa...
The cheerful music played at the background just like the mood of the guest present at the lawn enjoying the reception party after congratulating the newly Wed couple.
A big rectangle frame was made at the stage beautifully decorated with flowers.
Ohhh... Halla macha rahi hai pagal si khwaishein
Khushiyon ki mili hai wajah
ABHIRIKA stood with ABHAY behind the frame as the photographer clicked their happy pic.
Next DAREYA stood with DIYA kissing her cheek from each side capturing the moment.
Kuch hai junoon sa
Kuch paagalpan hai
Sau baatein karta ye buddhu sa mann hai(x2)
One by one all the couple SAJAL, FRENISHA, NIVYA, VIVESHA, PARANA, VIHANA, RAFANI with KHUSHI and finally RAJVI stood behind the flower frame with broad smile clicking memorable couple pics.
Finally all the couples stood at the stage for group photo with RAJVI in the middle.
SHREYA beside RAJAT whispered to him: Waise kal raat tum apni bride ko bhagakar le kaha gaye the?'
RAJAT looked shy at her: Kya Bhabhi aap bhi...?'
TARIKA from other side whispered to PURVI: Arre mai to bas janna chahti hoon ke mera gentleman Bhai romantic hai bhi ya nahi?'
PURVI to TARIKA: Bhabhi, Bhai ki sangat me aap naughty hote jaa rahe ho.'
Other side SHREYA to RAJAT: Mai to bhabhi hoon. Mujhe to bataa hi sakte ho na.'
RAJAT: Wo mai...'
PURVI: Wo hum...'
RAJVI together: Hum dono date pe gaye the.'
ABHIJEET and DAYA from either side of TARIKA and SHREYA asked out loud looking at RAJVI: Date?'
RAJAT avoided their gazes looking away and his eyes fell on JAYWANTI roaming at the lawn and called out her to join them in the group photo.
JAYWANTI nodded and walked towards the stage holding her lehanga only to bump with someone.
RADHEN, who was handling the music system fall down on his back and looked up at the lady he collided.
JAYWANTI looking at him said: Kaisa ladka hai tu? Ek ladki se takra ke gir gaya. Waise kisiki taraf se hai tu yaha?'
RADHEN fumbled: Ra..RAJAT.'
JAYWANTI: RAJAT sir ka friend hai tu?'
RADHEN: Nahi..ju.. junior tha.'
JAYWANTI: To udhar kahaan jaa raha tha? Sabko stage pe group photo ke liye bula rahe hai.'
JAYWANTI giving her hand to him said: Chal uth. Aur dar kyu raha hai? RAJAT sir ne bulaya hai toh khaas hai.'
And before RADHEN could protest she pulled him up and dragged him to the stage and he couldn't do anything about her firm grip.
She pulled him into the group beside her and looked at the camera while RADHEN just stared her in wonder.
While in the middle RAJVI looked at each other...
Flashback:
Wedding Day: Midnight -
ABHAY and DIYA were peacefully sleeping between AJJI and SHREYA's mother while ABHIRIKA found the terrace empty and DAREYA found the balcony to have some privacy moments to talk between all this quite busy marriage functions.
RAJVI room -
PURVI was sitting in her room when she heard some noise at the window almost jumping up in horror only to see it was RAJAT.
PURVI looked shocked: RAJAT tum! Tum khidki se kyu aaye?'
RAJAT: Darwaje se aata to sab mujhe poore raste chhedte. Wo chhodo. Would you like to go on our first date tonight?'
PURVI: Now?'
RAJAT: Yes.' He showed her full moon through the window saying: It's a beautiful atmosphere out.'
PURVI smiled remembering the full moon night she met him first time.
They love each other from 3 years but they never acted or did anything like gf-bf does. They respected each other like their soul mates caring for each other keeping their full focus on their studies and career all this while. And now he is doing everything he has promised to her.
First he has proposed her in front of everyone on Mehandi day and now asking her out on date. How can she say no to him?
PURVI asked her doubt: What if someone found us missing from house?'
RAJAT: Don't worry! ABHIJEET sir and DAYA sir must be celebrating their anniversary. And others are also busy with their partners. Nobody will know we are out and we will return before dawn. Come on.'
PURVI showing her bridal dress asked: In this?'
RAJAT: No problem. You are looking pretty. Waise bhi itni raat ko koi nahi dekhega.'
RAJAT helped PURVI down the ladder from the window and put the ladder on its place before leaving the house secretly in TARIKA's red open Jeep.
RAJAT drove the open jeep through the empty road with PURVI in the full moon light and put the radio on before looking at PURVI.
Oohhoo.. oohhoo.. hooh..hoo.. oo...
Paisa vaisa kya pata
Kaun kaisa kya pata
Zinda hoon aaj main
Iss se zyada kya pata
PURVI stood closing her eyes holding her chunri wide over her head as it rippled along with the wind enjoying the cool breeze touching her face as RAJAT watched her happily.
Mera toh zamaane se lena dena hi nahi
Yaaragustakhimaaf.Itna hi maaloom..
RAJAT stopped the Jeep aside the road and took PURVI covering her eyes with his hand.
Jispe bhi tu sath ho
Bas itna hi maaloom
Yaqeen hai wahi hai
Meri manzil ka raasta..
RAJAT removed his hand and PURVI opened her eyes in amaze to see they are at the seashore.
The waves at the sea was shining reflecting back the moonlight creating a beautiful view forming a wonderful smile on her face and RAJAT just smiled watching her.
PURVI looked at him happily: It's so beautiful!'
Oooh ooh ooh…
Meri manzil ka raasta..
Meri manzil ka raasta..
PURVI smiled walking towards the water and RAJAT just followed her with slow steps witnessing her curiosity, surprise, amazement and happiness at a time.
Oooh ooh ooh…
Taare kaise bhala
Hain todte kya pata
Taare mil bhi gaye toh
Tu karegi bhi kya
PURVI first touched the water and then happily started splashing water on him.
RAJAT stood shocked for a moment only to join her in the play as the two ran and splashed water on each other laughing & running from each other bringing out the kid inside them till they got tired falling to the ground lying side by side on the bare sand watching the sky full of stars.
PURVI staring the sky: It was such a beautiful journey. All the families once again gathered together under one roof celebrating the event full of love, joy and happiness.'
RAJAT: Yeah but after the reception everyone will go back to their home returning to their work and even our suspension is getting over day after tomorrow.'
PURVI: Waqt ko yun hi rok lene ka man kar raha hai, taaki ye khubsoorat safar kabhi khatm hi na ho.'
RAJAT smiled: Journeys are indeed beautiful having our loved ones with us.'
After a silence, PURVI asked: RAJAT...'
RAJAT staring the sky responded: Hmm.'
PURVI: We are married now. Are we going to be same like this even after the marriage?'
RAJAT still staring the sky: Why?'
PURVI: I am afraid; will we able to cross those 7 seas together till the end?'
RAJAT: Tum mujhe apna hath dena aur mai tumhe apna saath dunga and then we can cross anything as long as we are together.'
PURVI: Agar mai kabhi tumse rooth gayi to tum kya karoge?'
RAJAT without looking at her: Of course tumhe manaunga'
PURVI: Agar mai kahi kho gai to?'
RAJAT: To mai tumhe kahi se bhi dhundh launga.'
PURVI: Aur agar mai phir bhi naa mili toh?'
Finally RAJAT looked at her saying: Toh tumhare bina mai mar jaunga.'
PURVI just stared in his eyes that were serious as he said: Kabhi mujhse itni door mat jana ke mai tumhe dhundh naa paun.'
PURVI held his hand tight asking: Promise me, tum bhi kabhi mujhse door nahi jaoge?'
RAJAT smiled at her: Kabhi nahi. Promise.'
PURVI smiled asking: Kya tum humesha mujhse itna hi pyaar karoge?'
Main gair maamooli kartab dikha karke
Saabit karun bol kya?
Kya hai tu mere liye seedhe saade se
Lafzon mein sun le zara
RAJAT stared her for a moment and then stood up asking her to stand.
He picked her up in bridal style to her surprise and made her sit on a rock asking her to close her eyes.
He quickly come back putting a beautiful white flower crown on her head surprising her and then going on his knees, he held a bunch of beautiful white flowers to her saying with love: I was just a wanderer.'
PRADYUMAN Mansion:
At the balcony, DAYA on one knee in front of SHREYA, holding her hand said: The moment you held my hand.'
At the terrace ABHIJEET too on his knees holding a rose to TARIKA said: You gave direction to my life.'
At the beach, RAJAT: It's the best feeling, jab tum mere liye saari duniya se lad jati ho. Thank you for your kind and selfless love to me. I may not say it every day but I know that you know your heart is my home. No matter wherever I go, I will always return back to you. Thank you, meri hope banker meri zindagi me aane ke liye.'
At the balcony, DAYA: I feel lucky, hazaar shikayato ke bawajood bhi mujhse be-intehaan pyaar karti ho. Thank you for never changing your love for me and never ever giving up on me. Thank you, mujhe apna banane ke liye my fighter lady.'
At the terrace, ABHIJEET: I feel proud to have you as my wife. Har baar bina shikayato ke mujhe samajh jati ho aur har musibat me bin puchhe mere saath khadi ho jati ho. Thank you, meri strength banker humesha mera saath nibhane ke liye.'
At three different places, three of them looking in the eyes of their beloved partners said...
"Thank you for all the compromises and sacrifices you made for me yet giving your all to me."
ABHIJEET: Tere Kadmo Pe Saara Jahaan Hai, Chale Jo Tu Ek Kadam Banta Wo Kaarvan Hai.'
DAYA: Taarif Me Teri Khamosh Huyi Meri Jubaan Hai, Aaj Maine Tujhko Pahchana Hai.'
RAJAT: Lekar Roshni Nikle Dhoop Jis Aasman Se, Roshan-E-Ghar Tu Us Khuda Ka Hai.'
(Note: These lines are dedicated to every girl, lady and woman in the house. No matter what world thinks about you, just know you are special.)
PURVI, SHREYA &TARIKA respectively stood feeling the most special women on earth being deeply loved, respected and honoured by their man as three of them just hugged their partners.
PURVI whispered to RAJAT: Thank you for being my life partner.'
SHREYA to DAYA: Thank you for being my companion.'
TARIKA said to ABHIJEET: Thank you for being my husband.'
Kasmein kya pata
Reeti rasmein kya pata
Sachche pyaar ki
Kismein-vismein kya pata
ABHIRIKA & DAREYA walked off with eyes locked and hands in hand while PURVI just gave a kiss on RAJAT's cheek before running off.
Mera toh zamaane se lena dena hi nahi
Yaara gustakhi maaf. Itna hi maloom..
Dazed RAJAT slowly turned towards her and she stopped turning back at him shrugging off with a mischievous smile and shouted spreading her arms wide: I love you... And I want to fell in love with you for the next 7 lives too.'
Jispe bhi tu sath ho
Bas itna hi maaloom
Yaqeen hai wahi nhai
Meri manzil ka raasta..
Manzil ka raasta..
PURVI extended her hand to him: Vaada karo har life me mujhe dhundhne aaoge?'
RAJAT sceptically: Will we really born again?'
PURVI looked impossibly at him: RAJAT..! Mai tumse romantic baate kar rahi hoon aur tum..'
She looked annoyed and RAJAT smiled: Sorry!'
He walked to her and held her hand romantically saying: I will. In every life I get to born again on earth, I will come to find you.'
PURVI smiled happily and asked: Can I dance with my soul mate under this beautiful gifted view of God?'
RAJAT hesitated: I am not good at dancing.'
PURVI smiled: You have my hand and I have you. Together we will come over everything.'
PURVI put his one hand on her waist and held other hand keeping her other hand on his shoulder and the two swayed as RAJAT followed her lead matching steps with her at the silent music of the air, water and nature looking into each other's eyes under the open sky shining bright in the full moon light.
After dancing, the two sits at the shore talking and watching the waves for a long time before moving out of there to return home before the dawn.
Flashback end.
Present: At the stage -
RAJVI smiled at each other as the big happy family of all the CID members stood in group with their partners' right beside them and the moment got stopped in the frame of camera forever in the time.
The End.
They didn't live happily ever after because being cops their lives weren't easy and never would be. From tomorrow they will be back to work again getting busy in chasing criminals and solving cases.
Kyunki Mushkilein Yun Hi Aati Rahti Hai,
Shikayate Humesha Raha Karti Hai.
Jaise Din Aur Raat Dono Hi Zindagi Ke Liye Zaroori Hai,
Waise Hi Gam Ke Bina Khushi Bhi Adhoori Hai.
Takilfo Se Guzarne Ke Baad Hi Raahat Ka Ehsaas Hota Hai.
Kyunki Har Roj Mushkilo Se Ladkar Jeetne Ka Rutwa Hi Kuch Khaas Hota Hai.
Every day they faced a new trouble struggling, fighting, defeating, winning and living through it learning to grow up little by little every day.
That's life!
