EPISODE- 37
“All the best” Rudra greeted as Soumya’s turn came. “Yun hi kat jaayega safar saath chalne se… ki manzil aayegi nazar saath chalne se…” she started singing. Rudra kept staring her and listening to her melodious voice. The song ended but his eyes were still stuck at her. Her eyes fell on his; she smiled broadly looking at him. He was lost in his own world and he kept on staring. Judges announced their judgment and she went down the stage. His eyes still looking at her. “How do you sing so well?” he just asked looking at her without blinking his eyes. She had no answer to it. She looked down then at him then at both sides and couldn’t help but smile. “Soumya let me tell you… I really don’t know how to honour your talent but believe me you are the another star of my life after Shivay bhaiyaa and O… you are my best friend and I am proud to have you as my best friend” he said hugging her. She too reciprocated back. “Rudra… now if I loose this competition too then I won’t have any regret cause I got a friend like you who I know will support me every time” she said “off course” he immediately answered.
“Gauri… now its high time you should say everything about your past to me” Om said. “Omkara ji would you take me to a place I ask for? I promise after going there I would share everything” she said. “Sure” he said. They went near the river bank. Om was amazed to see the amazing scenario infront of him but tears dropped down Gauri’s eyes. She closed her eyes. She folded her hand and prayed. After that she looked towards Om and sat down. Om too sat down beside her. “It all started the day my baba died… he was a nice man… but… but Kaali has killed him” she broke down. Om went close to her and consoled her. She composed herself after sometime and continued “Kaali’s youngest brother… Mohan… wanted to marry me… my baba said no but Kaali kidnapped me… i… I ran away from his haveli the very next day somehow but he found me and took me back to haveli… he… he threatened me and my maa-baba that if I try to run again then he would… he would” her voice choked as her red eyes deepened more. “I am there to listen to everything Gauri… I am there to support you… be there with you… forever… yes forever” he said putting her head over his chest. She gathered some courage and continued “…he would molest me in front of the entire bareilly and then would kill me… i… I agreed to marry his brother… I married him the same day… Kaali planed my su… suhaag…” she could not complete the word when Om completed it for her “first night” his grip became tighter. She looked at him and noticed his eyes to be closed. She looked down and continued “yeah… the next day came and I was ready to give my self-respect to that Mohan but…” she again stopped and hugged Om more tight thinking what has happened next. Om decided to give her time. “they… all the three brothers came… Kaali, Jagdish and Mohan… they three came and tried to touch me… but I… I managed to run away… my baba instructed me while Kaali’s goons followed us… we reached some isolated place and then Kaali and his men captured us. He shot my father on his leg… he fell down… I stopped running and went towards him… but Kaali and his brothers were coming near me… he… no… they tried to touch me… when my baba got the gun thrown beside him and shot… Mohan got shot and died on the spot… looking that Kaali shot at my baba and he too died… then Kaali’s men and Kaali went away leaving me and my baba alone at that spot. My baba died gradually… the last words he said was I should run away from here and take care of my mother. I ran to lucknow… but there too Kaali’s men followed me and found me out. They brought me back over here… and now Kaali wants to marry me… so he is threatening me that if I don’t marry him he will kill my mother… so… so I agreed” she at last completed the entire story between her sobs and hiccups. A last question remained in Om’s mind which he decided to ask later and held her more tight.
“Hey Shivay what are we doing today?” Daksh asked. “Okay listen Anika and Daksh… since three more days are left… no actually four days including today… so we will plan something” Shivay said. Anika and Daksh looked at each other. “Okay Shivay… but what plan?” Anika asked. “Damn it… she is so dumb… I want to spend some alone time with you my love” he thought as he smiled looking at Anika. “Ohh hello… Mr. why smiling like this?” Daksh asked jerking him when he noticed him lost in his own thoughts. “Wo… nothing… so where was I?” he asked looking at Anika. “At the chair… giving free lectures to us” Anika said. “Yeah… yes… so Daksh… for the meeting that we have tomorrow… you go to check the land… Anika is not well so she will rest at her room and I will go out to prepare for some other important works” Shivay said in a go. “Hey I am not…” Anika was saying then when Shivay cut her in middle “so Daksh… let’s get going bro” “yeah sure… okay so I meet you two at the evening” Daksh said and went away bidding bye to them. Anika glared at Shivay. “Mr. when did I say that I am unwell?” Anika directly asked and continued “and why did you stop me from saying the truth to Daksh?” “Hmm… so basically I wanted to spend alone time with you dumbo” he said leaning back on his chair. She looked down and blushed. “Okay… so what are we doing today Mr?” she asked. “We will go out to spend the day together and we would return before Daksh returns” Shivay said. “Okay so let’s go” Anika said and quickly got up.
“The second round competition too ended and twelve contestants have been selected for the next round” the host announced. All the sixteen competitors looked on when they disclosed the name of all the contestants participating in the next round. Rudra jumped off listening to Soumya’s name. After everything ended she soon went down and hugged Rudra tight. “Thank You so much for supporting me and motivating me always” she said. Rudra too wrapped his hand around her. “Now I wish you to win all other rounds and become the best singing talent of India” Rudra said smiling cheekily. She too smiled.
“Shivay… look at this” Anika said showing him one neck piece. “Wow… that’s amazing” he complemented. “I know… for that reason only na I chose” she said and started bargaining for that neck piece. “Bhaiyaa… this is not of three hundred… one hundred fix or else I am going” Anika said, “Okay fine one fifty” the shop keeper said. “Okay then keep your neck piece to you” she said and went ahead and grabbed Shivay’s hand. “But Anika you loved that one” he whispered. “I know” she whispered back. “Then why are you leaving it for just fifty rupees” he said stopping her. “Shivay just keep on walking slowly… I can guarantee you he will call us back to sell that” Anika said upping her collar. Shivay did as instructed. After crossing two or three shops the shop keeper called them “okay… come and take it… but one twenty” he said. Shivay smiled looking at her and Anika too smiled. “Okay… one twenty done” she said and soon bought it and wore it. Shivay smiled looking at her antics. “Shivay… these are the tactics to buy stuff on street market… learn it” Anika said. “I don’t know what else I have to learn to stay with you” Shivay said. “Don’t worry I will groom you up before I allow to stay with me for entire life” she did not realize what she said but Shivay smirked listening to it. “Entire life? What do you mean?” he asked her holding her by waist and taking her aside. “What are you doing? Leave me” Anika said blushing hard. “Stop blushing or else I might loose my control” he said while Anika jerked his hand off and said “just wait for two more days to know Mr” she said and ran away towards the car.
