. . . . . . . . .
Contd. From prev chap:
Tarika: chodo mera haat.
Abhi: Iss bar chodne k liye nahi pakda hai ji.
Tarika: A.. Abhijeet ..
She watches in a daze as he goes down on one knee, his hand still holding hers. Daya and Salunkhe sir smile nodding their heads in approval while rest of CID team watches them with surprised expressions on their faces.
Abhi: Tarika Ji.. Maine bohot samjhaya apne dil ko ki aap mereliye kuch zyada hi acchi ho. Lekin woh hai ki maanne ko tayyar hi nahi. In dus dinon mein maine socha aap ko avoid karunga toh aap mujhse gussa hongi, aapko dard hoga aur aap mujhe bhulaadogi. Par main yeh sochna kaise bhul gaya ki main.. main jeeta hu toh aap k liye. Meri jeene ki wajah aap hai. mere har ek saas mein, har dhadkan mein aap ka naam hai. Aur aap se juda hone ka matlub zindgi se juda hona.
She watches with tears in her eyes as he continues.
Abhi, teary: Mujhe humesha laga ki shaadi ka matlub ek sazaa hai, zindgi bhar ki saza.. Lekin main yeh bhul gaya ki jis zindgi mein aap nahi, woh bhi toh sazaa hai. Bohot badi sazaa.. In fact yeh dus din toh mere mauth k barabar the..
She shakes her head rushing to place her finger over his lips stopping him from saying further.
Tarika, teary eyed: marne ki baat mat karo Abhijeet.. aisa mat kaho
Abhi: aaj mujhe mat rokiye Tarika ji. Bohot kuch hai jo main aap se kehna chahta hu.. Main, Mujhe khud kuch nahi patha ki pehle main kaise jeetha tha. Mujhe yeh bhi nahi maalum ki aap se pehle mere zindgi mein koi ladki thi ya nahi.. Kuch yaad hi nahi jab se woh accident hua.
She nods to show she can understand what he meant. He was talking about his past, wasn't he? He goes on.
Abhi: Lekin jab se yaad hai, tab se maine sirf aap se pyaar kia hai. Sirf aap se. Meri zindgi mein sirf aap k liye jagah hai. Iss janam mein hi nahi, aanewale har janam mein bhi.. sirf ek aap hai mereliye.
Happy tears break barrier and flow freely down her cheeks. Her one hand is still in his clasp, his thumb stroking its top. He goes on.
Abhi: Main jaanta hu, bohot pareshan kia maine aap ko. Aaj jo main.. main kehne jaara hu, woh mujhe bohot pehle keh dena chahiye tha. Bohot pehle. Itna intezar karaaya aap ko. Haan aap zindgi bhar intezar kar sakti thi main jaanta hu, aapne bola tha. Fir bhi.. main darr gaya tha. Mujhe lagaa kahi mere khushi k chakkar mein main aap k khushiyan na cheen lu. Lekin ab, ab koi dar nai. Koi jhijak nahi.. Kisi ne mujhe ehsaas dilaaya ki main kitna galat tha.. Main jaanta hu ki Sachhayi yahi hai ki main aap k bina nahi jee sakta. Yahi ki main aap se bohot bohot pyar karta hu Tarika. Khud se zyada, Sab se zyada. Aur sacchayi se main bhaag bhi nahi sakta. Bhaagna bhi nahi chahta. Aur yahi sacchayi ko main aaj sab k saamne main manne ko tayyar hu.
Tarika knew what's coming next. He's gonna ask her to marry him. Right?
Abhi: Tarika ji main chahta hu ki mere zindgi k aanewale har din aap se shuru ho, aur aap hi pe aake khatm hojaye..
She holds her breath as he softly lets go of her hand pulling out a stunning diamond ring from his pocket. She just wished she would not faint because of so much happiness. So this is happening for real. Oh dear Lord!
Abhi, smiling n holding up the ring: Aap mujhse shaadi karengi?
She laughs n more tears fall from her eyes. She shakes her head, adjusts her vision so that she could see him clearly. This is a dream come true for her..
Abhi: haan meri zindgi ka koi bharosa nahi hai, isliye zindgi bhar khush rakhne ka waada nahi karsakta. Lekin jab tak jaan mein jaan hai tab tak main aapko khush rakhne ki puri koshish karunga. Aur aap humesha chahthi thi na ki koi aap ko sab k saamne gaana gaathe hue propose karein?
Her eyes widen. How did he know? Perhaps Purvi leaked it.
Abhi: Waise bohot kharab gaatha hu main lekin aap k liye koshish kar sakta hu..
She looks with teary eyes as he begins to sing.
Abhi, singing and proposing again: Kyun ki tum hi ho. Ab tum hi ho. Zindgii ab tum hi ho.. Chain bhi mera dard bhi .. Meri Aashiqi ab tum hi ho.. Mujhe ek mauka dogi na?
A thousand emotions were running through her head n she doesn't know how to react.
He asks her again.
Abhi: Bolo na..
She looks around brushing her happy tears. Salunkhe sir smiles and nods and everyone are giving them loving looks with a smile on their faces.
She turns to him and gives him a dazzling smile.
Salunkhe sir steps in.
Salunkhe: Soch kya rahi ho? Bolo Tarika, puch raha hai na baccha. Dekha Salunkhe ka kamaal? Kaise line pe laa karke rakha hai isse..
Everyone laugh.
She smiles at her father figure.
Tarika, pleased: Salunkhe sir aap..
Abhi whines.
Abhi: Arey yar kuch toh bolo na… mere ghutne mein dard ho raha hai!
Tarika, looking at him with a shy smile- haan..
Abhi, smiling widely, tears coming in to his eyes- Haan matlub?
She composes herself brushing her tears and repeats for him.
Tarika smiling n blushing - Haan. Main tum se shaadi karungi..
Abhi: yeh hui na baat! Uff mujhe lagaa ek aur ghanta lagaayengi sharmaane mein..
He gets up to hug her and she hits him playfully while hugging him back. Everyone clap.
Daya shouts 'congrats Boss!' while the entire team wish the couple.
Abhirika are still hugging. Abhi places a soft kiss on her forehead asking her to forgive him.
Abhi: Kitna sataaya na maine.. I'm sorry. Main, mujhe samajh mein nahi aaya. Salunkhe sir ne jo kaha uss se main confuse hogaya tha.
She nods showing she understood his words. She is too happy to speak at the moment.
Daya coughs and they part reluctantly.
Abhi, murmuring: Mujhe darr hai kahi yeh Daya meri shaadi k baad bhi aise hi khaasne lagega, shayad mere ghar pe bhi..
Abhi whines like a kid and she smiles adoring his expressions.
Everyone congratulate them once again and Salunkhe apologises to Abhi.
Salunkhe, smiling at abhirika: Bohot sataaya na maine tum dono ko. Abhijeet please mujhe maaf kardo.. maine tumhara dil dukhaaya hai. Beti k bare mein sochte sochte main..
Abhi: Aisa mat kahiye sir. Aap maafi kyu maang rahe hai? Waise thank you toh mujhe aap se kehna chahiye.. Agar aap woh sab nai karte toh na jaane main kab apni dil ki baat sab k saamne kehpaata.
Tarika: haan sir. Aap hi ki waja se yeh sab hua hai.. I'm so lucky sir ki mujhe mere sir k roop mein ek papa bhi milgaya. Aap ne mere bare mein itna socha ithna kia. Thank you sir..
Salunkhe, patting her cheeks: Apnon se thank you nahi kehte beta.. Khush rehna humesha. (turning to Abhi) Lekin haan tumne jo mere saat lab mein kiya Abhijeet, uske liye abhi maine maaf nahi kiya tumhe.
Abhi: Arey sir.. ab maaf bhi kardijiye na..
Salunkhe: thik hai thik hai..
Abhi wraps his arms around her shoulder and gives another victory smile. Salunkhe sir tries to remind him something.
Salunkhe: Yaad rakhna hero meri beti ka khayal rakhna.. warna khoon hojayega mere haaton..
Everyone laugh as Abhi gives 'main darr gaya' look.
Abhi: Kaise nahi rakhta. Aap befikar rahiye sir.
. . . . .
It's almost half past eight and everyone prepare to leave. Abhi corners Salunkhe sir.
Abhi: Sir.. Kya main aap ki beti ko ghar chor sakta hu? Apni gaadi mein..
Salunkhe: Haan haan kyu nahi.. Bilkul drop kar sakte ho. Ab toh mangetar hogai na woh tumhari..
Tarika smiles while looking down.
Abhi: thank you sir.
He takes hold of her hand and begins to leave when Salunkhe shouts.
'Khayal rakhiyo.. abhi sirf ghar tak chorne ki izaazat mili hai samjhe..'
Obviously there is no response from other side and salunkhe sir shouts again.
'arey das baje se pehle usko apna ghar pahunchao…'
Salunkhe smiles as he hears a faint 'haan.. haan' from Abhi.
