Next Morning… Singhaniya Mansion
Everyone was on the dining table except Ruhana. Shaliniji looked around….
"Ye Ruhana kahan reh gayi? Roz toh wahi sabko nashta parosti hain."
"Badimaa, Jeejhi ne kaha unhe bhook nahi hain." Palak spoke looking at Shalini.
Shalini looked at her…."tumne pucha usse?"
"Haan badimaa, main jeejhi ke kamre se hi aa rahi hoon. Humne kaha ki aap chaliye nashta karne , par unhone mana kar diya."
Shalini gets worried. She looks at Rekha , who was standing beside her….
"Ruhana ne kal se kuch nahi khaya. Agar aisa hi chalta raha toh uski tabiyat bigad sakti hain."
Sachin came there…."Maa, tum chinta mat karo. Main jeejhi se baat karta hoon."
He moved towards Ruhana's room. He found her standing near the window. He moved in and kept his hand on her shoulder. Ruhana comes out of his trance….
Ruhana- Arey Sachin, aap kab aaye?
Sachin(smiles)- Abhi abhi! Lekin aap bataiye , aap kya soch rahi hain?
Ruhana(looks outside the window)- Kuch khaas nahi! Lekin aapko aaj office nahi jaana?
Sachin- Jaana hain lekin aap hain ki hume jaane hi nahi de rahi. (he smiles)
Ruhana- Arey! Ab humne kya kiya? Aap khud toh yahan aaye hain….aur hume keh rahe hain?(she replied)
Sachin- Ab aap apna khayal nahi rakhengi toh hume hi rakhna padega. Hum jaante hain jeejhi, ki aap pareshan hain, lekin apni sehat ko nazarandaaz mat kijiye. Chaliye nashta kijiye.
Ruhana(sighs)- Nahi sachin, hume bhook nahi hain. Aap nashta kijiye aur office jaiye. (she turned to the other side..)
"Jeejha, sachin thik hi toh keh raha hain. Chaliye aap! Hum jaante hain kal jo kuch bhi hua wo nahi hona chahiye, lekin aap usey bhul jaaiye. please"
Kabir entered in saying so. Ruhana looked at him….
"Kabir, kya hua hain aur kyun hua hain, yeh aap achi tarah se jaante hain. Aap toh hamari har baat samajhte hain na, toh phir yeh kyun nahi? Aur agar bhulana itna aasan hain toh kya aap NImisha ko bhool paaye hain? "
Kabir went silent. Ruhana looked at him…
"Kya hua kabir? Ab aap chup kyun ho gaye? Kabir, humne is ghar mein jo kuch dekha hai na, hum nahi chahte ki aap logon par uska asar pade. Maa baba ne jo kiya, bhale hi wo thik tha, par hamare liye thik nahi hain.. Unhone hamara rishta nahi, sauda kiya tha. Aur jab apne dukh dete hain na toh bahut dard hota hain."
She had tears in her eyes. Kabir looked at her….
"Jaanta hoon Jeejhi! Mujhse behtar kaun jaanta hain. Aur jispar maine aankhein mooond kar vishwas kiya, usne hi mujhe dhokha diya….mujhe nahi samjha."
"toh kabir, aap usey samajh lete. Aap dono ke beech kya hua yeh toh hum nahi jaante, lekin itna zaroor jaante hain, ki aapki khoyi hui muskarahat laane wali Nimisha thi. Aapko maut ke muh se bachane wali bhi wahi thi. Aur aapne kya kiya? Usey is ghar se jaane ko keh diya…..Kyun kabir? Tum toh aise nahi they. Mera bhai khud chahe kitne bhi dard sehen kar sakta hai, kisi ko dard nahi de sakta. Aur naa hi humne aapko aisa kuch sikhaya hain." Ruhana spoke looking at him.
He was silent….
"Kabir, Nimisha is ghar ki bahu hain. Aur hum chahte hain ki wo is ghar mein wapas aa jaye. Hum tumhe sirf khush dekhna chahte hain…..agar tum yeh galatfehmiyan door kar ke is ghar ki bahu ko wapas le aaoge, toh humse zyada khushi kisi ko na hogi." Ruhana spoke looking at him.
He looked at her….."Koshish karunga jeejha…."
He left saying so. Ruhana watched him going. She sat on the bed…..Sachin was looking at the two. He held Ruhana's hand…
"Jeejhi, please chinta mat karo , sab thik ho jayega."
She looked at him….."Kab? Kab thik hoga sachin? Kabir aur Nimisha toh ek dusre se pyar karte they na? ab kya ho gaya dono ke beech? Aur Kiara, uska kya? Wo toh ab kisi se milne ke liye bhi haan nahi bharti. Sab kuch kaise theek hoga Sachin?"
Sachin lifted her face up…
"aapko apne bhai par vishwas hai na,(she nodded as YES) toh phir aap chinta mat karo. Sab thik ho jayega. Kabir Nimisha ke beech sab thk hoga aur Kiara ko bhi uska manpasand jeevansaathi milega. Aap please chinta mat karo."
He hugged her and then left for office after a while.

Ranawat Mansion…
Kuki was helping Neerjaji in laying the breakfast table. Shefali, Areej, Vineet, Rajat and Arjun were on the breakfast table. Neerjaji looked around,,…
Neerja- Yeh Nimisha kahan reh gayi? Kahin office toh nahi chali gayi?
Akshay- Nahi bua! Aajkal wo office nahi jaati, na hi mujhse jhagadti hain. Pata nahi kya ho gaya usey?(he was sad)
Areej- Haan….Nimi Di toh aajkal kisi se baat nhi karti. Pata nahi aisa kya ho gaya unke aur jeeju ke beech?
Akshay-haan., tu theek keh rahi hai Aru….Main usse puchta hoon toh kuch batati nahi, bas rone lagti hain. Pata nahi meri behen ki khushiyon ko kiski nazar lag gayi. (he seemed worried)
Shefali- Akki bhai….Relax! Aap itna tensed rahoge toh humaara kya hoga! Rajat bhaiya toh pata nahi kal se kahan khoye hue hain!(she looked at Rajat)
Rajat seemed lost. He was not even aware of about what his siblings were talking. Arjun snipped his fingers In front of his eyes….
"Rajat bhai, kya hua?"
He came out of his trance….
"Haan….kya hua Arjun? Kuch keh rahe they?" He looked at his brother.
Arjun looked at others than him…
Arjun- Kya hua bhai? Pareshan kyun ho?
Rajat- Kuch nahi Arjun…..bas aise hi!
Areej- Kya aise hi ,kal se dekh rahi hoon, pata nahi kahan busy ho aap bhaiya….mujhse baat tak nahi ki. Hua kya hai?
Akshay(giggles)- Lagta hai bade bhaiya ko pyaar ho gaya hai.
Areej(makes a face)- Bad joke Akshay Bhaiya! Zara soch samajh ke bolo.
Rajat stood up and looked at Areej…
"Tera Akshay bhai sach hi keh raha hai."
And he left away smiling coyly. Areej was surprised. Shefali hit her on her arm….
"Oyee , Muh band kar apna varna machchar ghus jaayega."
Areej looked at her….
"Rajat bhaiya abhi abhi kya bol kar gaye…I mean Rajat Ranawat aur Pyaar! Aisa kaise?" She looked at everyone with her eyes wide in surprise.
Akshay smiled…."Pyaar toh bas ho jaata hai Behnaaa…"
He said so remembering Palak. Areej looked at him….
"Aapko kisse pyaar hua bhaiya?"
Akshay stammered…."Umm...kisi se nahi."
He tried to moveaway but shefali caught his hand….
"Dekho, bahane mat banao, bata do kaun hain hamari bhabhi?"
Akshay smiled shyly…."Aisa kuch nahi hai….ab jaane do, college ke liye late ho raha hain."
"Haan haan ..jao jao….mil lo humari bhabhi se. Humara kya hai….hum toh yahin hai is ghar mein!" Areej and shefali replied in unison which made Arjun, kuki and Vineet laugh.
.
Meanwhile, Areej received a message. She opened it and smiled as it was from Sachin. It read…
"Aru,Mujhe tumse kuch zaruri baat karni hai. Main 4 baje tumhare college ke paas wale Café Lounge mein tumhara wait karunga. Yours , Sachin"
Though she smiled at the message, yet she knew , he was worried about something. She replied him back with a YES.
.
Rajat drove to his office, yet he wasn't able to concentrate in the work. He could remember kiara's words…
"Nahi…yeh nahi ho sakta."
.
"Yeh khayal apne mann se nikal do Rajat…please"
Her smile when he confessed his love forher, made him sure , that she loved him, but there was something tht was stopping her.
He decided something and dialed her number. Accidently, Kiara had forgotten her phone in her room and had went somewhere. Ruhana, who was passing by heard the ring and picked up,but before she could speak, she heard Rajat….
"Kiara! Dekho phone mat kaatna. Main jaanta hoon, tum mujhse baat nahi karna chahti , par kiara,reason toh bata do….please!"
Ruhana was confused, but spoke…
"Rajat ji, main kiara nahi Ruhana bol rhi hoon. Baat kya hai aap pareshan kyun hain?"
He was surprised, he didn't knew what to reply.
"Umm…Ruhana ji, sorry, maine suna hi nahi, aur apni baat bolta gaya. Kiara kahan hain? Kya main usse baat kar sakta hoon?"
Ruhana looked around and then replied…."Rajat ji, agar aap sach mein Kiara se milna chahte hain, toh humare ghar ke peeche jo devi maa ka mandir hain, wahan chale jaiye. Wo aapko wahin milegi. Shayad aapke sawalon ka jawab bhi. Ummeed karti hoon ki aap usey manane mein safal honge aur mujhe meri behen ke chehre pe phir se khushi dekhne ko milegi."
Rajat smiles as he hears her…."main apni taraf se puri koshish karunga. Abhi main rakhta hoon."
He disconnected the call. Ruhana kept the phone on the table and moved to her room. That's when she found Aisha and Kavin moving towards her…
"Arey, tum dono bachchon ki tarah kyun lad rahe ho?" She questioned both of them.
"Jeejhi dekho na…..bina baat ke ladte hain yeh mujhse!" Aisha looked at Kavin.
Kavin looked at his sister…"Arey jeejhi….maine kuch nahi kiya….main toh chup chap book padh raha tha. Yeh madam ko hi shaitaani soojhi thi."
Aisha made a face…."Maine kab shaitani ki….ek toh tum din bhar office mein rehte ho. Aaj Sachin bhaiya ne tumhe jaldi ghar bhej diya toh ghar aake kitaab padhne lage. Ab shaadi ho gayi toh badal gaye ho tum!"
Kavin hit her slightly on her arm…."Acha jee…ghar ke kaamon mein kaun busy rehta hain….har waqt toh tumhe maa ke saath rehna hota hain…..meri toh koi value hi nahi hain." He made a face showing anger.
Ruhana had hard time controlling her laughter which didn't went unnoticed by both.….Aisha looked at Kavin….
"Areyy…ab ghar ki bahu hoon, karna padta hai. Par tum …tum toh bas novel leke baith gaye..yeh bhi koi baat hui. Jeejhi, aap hi samjhao isey….Biwi se zyada toh isey yeh book pyaari hai." She made a face.
Kavin hugged her…"Jee aap toh hume bahut hi pyaari hai. Ab yeh kitab meri wifey ki tarah khubsurat thode hi aap kahengi hum isey chhod denge."
Aisha blushes as he tights his grip on her. Ruhana, interrupted…
"Excuse me! Yeh romance na apne kamre mein jaakar karo.(kavin bites his tongue and leaves aisha. Ruhana holds his ear) kuch toh sharam kar kavin beta….behen ke saamne biwi se romance? Kamre kam pad gaye apne ghar mein?"
"Arey jeejhi…kaan chhodo na…..dard ho raha hai." kavin made crying faces and Ruhana left his ear. He hugged her …..
"Aap aise hi muskarati raha karo…."
"aur iske liye mujhe kavin se jitni baar jhagadna pade, main jhagad lungi….par aapko kavin ke kaan kheenchne padenge jeejhi…" Aisha spoke like a kid.
Kavin looked at her while she giggled and they began their tom and jerry chase again. Ruhana smiled and shaked her head….
"Yeh dono pata nahi kab bade honge. Bas yahi dua hai ki yeh dono aise hi khush rahein!"
Thinking so, she moved to her room.
.

Ranawat Mansion…
Shefali was playing with her phone, sitting on the sofa when Vineet came and moved his fingers in her hair at which she shouted….
Shefali- kya hai bhaiya? Saare baal kharab kar diye…huh!
Vineet(smiles)- Uff….ab yakeen hua ki tu theek hain.
Shefali- what do u mean by that? Main paagal hoon?
Vineet(giggled)- Nahi, tu 2 din se mujhpe chilaayi nahi na isliye. Socha kahin bukhaar toh nahi aaya na!
Shefali( hit him with a cushion)- Maaa! Dekho na !
She called neerjaji , who came and sat there….
"Shefali! Tu kab badi hogi? Teri shaadi hogi tab kya hoga!"
"Kya maa, tum bhaiya ko kabhi kuch nahi kehti. Bas mujhe aur aisha ko kehti ho. Bhaiya bade hain, unki shaadi karo pehle." Shefali replied to her mom.
Vineet looked at her…."Kya yaar! Pehle teri shadi hogi phir meri. Infact mere paas kuch ladkon ki tasveerein hain, dekhegi?"
Shefali looked at him….she seemed scared and shouted…
"Nahhiii bhaiyaa….mujhe nahi karni koi shaadi."
Vineet giggles….."Acha acha…shaant! Chilaati kyun hai? (whispers) Agar koi hain toh bata de. Maa ko main mana lunga."
Shefali looked at him ….
"Sachii! " She asked excitedly.
and he nodded as YES. She hugs him….
"You're the best!"
She kissed on his cheeks and ran to her room. Vineet smiles and looks at his mom, who was busy reading a magazine. He hugged his mom…
"Maa, aaj sham ko aane mein derr ho sakti hain. chinta mat karna. "
She nodded and he left.
.
College…
Palak was in her classroom shuffling the pages of her register. Her friend hit her on her arm…..
"Pallu, itna seriously kya dekh rahi hain?"
"Kya sonu, dekhne de na ki notes complete hain na?" Palak shouted at her friend Soniya.
Soniya looked at her wide eyed….
"Aaj suraj kya west se nikla hain? Tune Psychology ke notes banaye? Lagta hai extra classes ka asar hain …haan" She winked at her.
Palak hit her…."Sonu, chup kar…Ak…..i mean sir aate honge."
"Ahaan….sir se seedha Akshay….not bad not bad! Waise wo hain kaafi handsome..haan.! Good choice!" Soniya winked at her making her blush.
"Soniya , dekh zyada bol mat! Mujhe kaam karne de. Mujhe sir se daant nahi khaani." She replied looking at her notebook.
Yeah…she had developed interest in the subject , which she hated the most. His idea of teaching her was quite good..,…she started liking the subject, or more of him. She was turning the pages when something drew her attention….
It was his name…..she wrote. She smiled as she moved her finger on it. She was quite attracted to him. His way of talking, his nature, his smile, his care…is everything she loved….yeah maybe she started loving him. Instantly, she drew a heart on his name.
Meanwhile, he came in the class. She looked at him and passed a smile.
"tohStudents, I hope, aap logon ne apne projects pe kaam kiya hoga. I wuld like to see them."
Palak was the first to stand up and forward him the book. He smiled as he took it. She whispered a Thanks and sat on her seat. Meanwhile, other students gave in there notebooks. He checked in, told the mistakes to the students. The period passed on, he still had her notebook with him. Aftr the class, she moved ot him…
"Akshay, meri notebook?"
He smiled …..'Mere cabin mein aao, kuch baat karni hain." And left the class.
She seemed scared, but took her bag and moved to his cabin. She found him reading her notebook….She moved forward….
"Kya baat hain? Yahan kyun bulaya? Answers galat hain?" She was scared.
He smiled…."Relax Ms Singhaniya, answers ekdum correct hain. Maine toh yunhi tumhe bulaya yahan?"
"Yunhi? Kyun? Meri class hain?" She looked at him.
He smiles and passes her notebook towards her….
"Apne sawal ka jawab toh leti jao."
She seemed confused, but when she looked down, she was surprised. It was the page, where she used to write her name. Accidently, she started writing his name, encircled with a heart. Above it , it was written…."Palak's Dil" and below that was written "YES" in red ink. She looked at him as if it was a joke….He smiled….
Sapna nahi haqeeqat hain…..Tumhare dil mein kya hain wo toh mujhe pata chal gaya, but mere dil mein bhi kuch hain…sunna chahogi?"
She didn't reply and looked at him. He moved ot her and made her stand, kissed on her forehead….
"I love you Palak….pata nahi kab , kaise, tumse milna, ladna aur phir yun is tarah padhana…yeh sab kab pyaar mein badal gaya , pata hi nahi chala. But haan, itna jaanta hoon ki I love you."
She smiled tearily….
"I love you too"
It was all she could say and hugged him. Later, she left for her class with a smile playing on her lips.
4:30 pm… Café Lounge
Areej was sitting there waiting for Sachin. He turned out to be late. After a few minutes, He arrived.
Areej- Yeh kya hai Sachin, aadhe ghante se wait kar rhi hoon, ab aa rahe ho!
Sachin(took his seat)- Sorry Aru, wo office ke kaam mein fas gaya tha.
Areej- haan han….ek tum hi busy ho, main toh free hoon na. (she spoke angrily)
Sachin(smiles)- Arey sorry na baba! Acha yeh batao, kya logi? Cold coffee ya hot coffee?
Areej- kuch nahi….tum batao kyun bulaya? Kya baat karni hai?
Sachin- mujhe tumse…(thinks for a while) nahi chhodo….chalo Coffee pite hain…..phir main tumhe ghar drop kar dunga.
Areej(looks at him)- Sachin, jhooth mat bolo! Bolo kya hua?
Sachin(winks at her)- tumse pyaar hua! Aur kya ho sakta hai!
Areej blushes while he smiles. They enjoyed there coffee and headed to home. She looked at him…..
Areej- Sachin, batao tumhe kya baat karni thi? Sab thik toh hai?
Sachin(holds her hand.)- Tum mere saath ho na? (she nodded positively and kept her other hand on his. He smiled) toh phir mujhe yakeen hai ki sab thik ho jayega.
Areej(smiles)- Ofcourse hoga, hum koshish karenge sab thik karne ki.
Sachin(smiles)- Thanks Aru….Bas aise hi mere saath rehna.
She smiles , nods and kisses on his cheek before getting down from his car as they had reached home.
.

Common Garden..
It was 6 in the evening when Shefali was in the common Garden, talking to a friend.
"Okay okay….tu mujhe kyun dant rahi hain Shivi, main tujhe kal milti hoon na College mein. "
.
"Arey yaar, aise hi mann nahi kiya. Acha acha, aa jaungi….ab dant mat."
That's when Dushyant hugged her locking his hands in her waist. She shivered but recognized his touch and then disconnected the call. And turned to him….
"Kya hai Dushyant? Dara diya na mujhe!"
He smiled…"Ab maine kya kiya…..sirf hug hi toh kiya. Ab agar tum mujhse yun darogi toh kaise chalega!"
Shefali looked at him…."Aise garden mein koi hug karta hain. ..Koi dekh lega toh?"
He pulled her closer, she put her hands on his shoulders, he locked his hands in her waist…
"Ab toh aisi aadat daalni padegi Miss Shefali Rajawat, kyunki Dushyant Singhaniya aisa hi karta hain."
He winked at her while she hid her face in his chest while he kissed on her head and they spent some time together.
.
.
Temple…
Rajat went to the temple and as told by Ruhana, he found Kiara there. She was feeding the poor people with food as there was Prashadi in the temple. Some people were taking it with them while the poor ones were being feeded. A smile made way on his face when he saw her there. He went towards her….
"Kya mujhe bhi devi maa ka prashad mil sakta hain?"
She turned on his voice and looked at him. He stood in front of her with her hands stretched . She quietly placed the ladoo in his hand and turned. But he called her….
"Kiara mujhe tumse baat karni hain."
"Par mujhe tumse koi baat nahi karni. Chale jao Rajat…..Main nahi chahti ki mere wwajah se tumhe koi nuksaan ho." She spoke looking at him.
He took the plate form her hand and kept it on a nearby table and held her hand and her into the temple….
"Rajat, yeh tum kya kar rahe ho, please haath chhodo. "
But he took her into the temple in front of the idle. She looked at him…
"Yeh kya badtameezi hain Mr Ranawat. Aap boss apne office mein honge, yaahn nahi."
She shouted at him. He smiled calmly….
"Yahi toh main tumhe samjha raha hoon. Hamari limits, hamari life inke haathon mein hain(he pointed to the idol) kaun hamare sath rahega aur kaun nahi , wo bhi inke haath mein hain. aur jo log yeh sochte hain ki tumhare manglik hone se kisi ke life pe asar padega toh ab tak tum akeli hoti. TUmhare saath koi nahi hota. Kya manglik hone ka asar sirf shaadi ke baad hota hain. Kiara, Log kuch bhi bolte hain. Unki baaton mein aake apna future barbaad mat karo. "
.
"main jaanta hoon ki tum mujhse pyaar karti ho, tumhari aankhon mein mere liye pyaar jhalakta hain…kam se kam uska izhaar toh karo. Main tumse pyaar karta hoon aur tum mujhse, toh duniya wale kyun beech mein aaye. Agar kisi ke saath hone se dusre insaan ka bura hota oth duniya mein sab akele hote….fmailies na hoti. Kiara, yeh sochna chhod do ki tumhari wajah se kisi ka kuch bura hoga. Yeh sab andhvishwas hain, aur main isme vishwas nahi karta. Aur agar aisa kuch hota bhi hain, toh mujhe sweekar hain….kam se kam meri jitni zindagi hain, wo toh main tumhare saath guzaar paunga."
.
"Nahi Rajat, aisa mat kahiye. Mere hote hue aapko kuch kaise ho sakta hain. " Kiara spoke with teary eyes.
He moved forward and stretched his hand….
Toh thaam lo mera haath, aur chalo, ek nayi zindagi ki shuruaat karte hain, maata raani ke ashirvad se."
"lekin tumhari family…" She looked at him….
"Mujhe tumhara sath chahiye kiara, family kya sochti hain, usse mujhe koi farak nahi padta. Bolo, dogi mera saath?" He looked in her eyes
.
.
"Kiara, Rajat jee thik keh rahe hain. Khushiyan tere aage khud haath badha rahi hain…thaam le yeh haath…kyunki is duniya mein aur koi nahi hai jo tujhe itna pyaar karega….chali ja yahan se door….apni duniya mein, rajat ke sath khush reh."
It was Ruhana, who came there for darshan and heard them. Kiara looked at her sister , who nodded as YES. She looked at Rajat, who was looking at her with hopeful eyes. Meanwhile, they heard anoter voice….
"Aapki behen thik keh rahi hain. sabko yeh bata dijiye ki pyaar mein itni shakti hain ki wo kisi bhi andhvishwas ke aage nahi tikti. Shayad isse kisi aur ko bhi pyaar par yakeen ho jaaye."
He looked at Ruhana when completing his statement. She looked at him….He was again trying to pacify that love is still beautiful.
Kiara looked at Rajat and held his hand….
"Yeh sach hain ki main aapse pyaar karti hoon aur kisi bhi haalat mein aapko kamzor nahi dekhna chahti ….isliye main aapka saath dungi.'
He smiled and hugged her. Ruhana smiled at them. She turned to move when she heard Vineet…
"aaj apne pyaar ka ek aur roop dekh liya na Ruhana…..pyar par vishwas rakhiye…sab thik ho jayega."
She looked at him, he smiled and she left the place without replying.
A/N: Okay…here we end.
Toh Ruhana hain Pareshan…..
Kabir NImisha se baat karne ko taiyar nhi hain…kya hoga?
Akshay aur palak ne kiya mohabbat ka izhaar…
Areej- Sachin ke pyaar ne rakha dusre padaav par kadam, kya yeh hamesha yun hi saath rahenge?
Shefali Dushyant ka bhi gehrata pyar…kya yeh apne mukam tak pahunchenge…
Vineet ne dikhaya Ruhana ko pyar ka ek roop…kya ruhana samajh paayegi?
Stay tuned…
