Episode 45: The Fateful Day…
The Dobriyal Mansion was decorated once again with all its splendour and beauty, the hall of the house seemed empty with less people than a usual party at the Dobriyal Mansion can have and ones present there seemed to be only in the state of confusion or tension.
Abhay standing at a corner having a drink looked towards the stairs, “Don’t know whats in my fate or should I even call it a fate…My life has ridiculed me…another engagement only to be broken at the end…” A drop of tear escaped his eye as he thought this to himself.
A spark of smile enters the till now dark room as a girl descends down the stairs bringing another girl along with her. Yeh , they are our RiYa…
While Rhidhima has a huge smile on her face , Piya’s face has an unknown sadness , they both descend down wearing beautiful Lehenge’s.
“ Rhidhimaa , it’s so heavy…Why am I even wearing this??” Piya questioned angry while they were descending.
“ Because it’s your engagement…” Rhidhimaa said passing her a huge smile, indirectly indicating her to smile too.
Piya looks at her angrily as she grits her teeth, Rhidhimaa still smiles, Piya now more angry gets her shoulders free from Rhidhimaa’s hold and almost runs downstairs and in the process bumping into Armaan.
“S…Sorry…” Piya says as she looks at Armaan.
“Cool down…Cool Down girl…” Armaan says with a big smile while Rhidhimaa looks at his smile from the stairs and smiles herself.
“You…” Piya is confused as she realizes who he is.
“Yes, I was called so I came, I hope the engagement girl doesn’t mind it…”
“No, I don’t…” Piya tried to move forward to get a lonely corner somewhere when she remembers something.
“ Wait…you must be happy…your words came true…I snatched Abhay from Rhidhimaa…” Piya says turning back and then turning Armaan to face herself.
Armaan smiles as he looks towards her, then towards Rhidhimaa who is talking to someone now.
“Actually , thanks for reminding me, I am sorry for that day , I was too absorbed in my Lov…” Armaan stopped in the middle while Piya looked towards him.
“ Love…Right?” Piya asks while Armaan is shocked.
“ Piya…Please don’t speak here…someone will listen…” He says as traces of sweat encounter his forehead.
“ No Armaan, from the very start I knew that there’s something thats bothering you, something due to which you move away from Rhidhimaa, I realized it late that its love but I was right…it’s your Love , it’s your love because of which you stay away from Rhidhimaa…you want her happiness…I thought its unconditional Love, you know at some points I wanted to believe in Love , sometimes also because of you but today you proved me wrong , your smile proved me wrong again, I am wrong , you must be happy , not because your words came true but because now you can get Rhidhimaa , right? Abhay’s out of your way, right?” Piya said looking towards the floor as a lone tear escaped her eye, Armaan looked towards her shocked as he opened his mouth to speak something, he couldn’t as Piya had already left by then.
“ I don’t know what I should tell you Piya…Abhay’s out of my way…even if he is what can I do? Even if I love Rhidhimaa , I can never get her…that’s my fate…My destiny…what should I be happy about, I can be happy only for one thing, Rhidhimaa got free from a loveless relationship and if she is right , then maybe you and Abhay who love each will get each other…only and only this, rest is only the reason for my sadness, for me to cry…” Armaan looked towards the direction in which Piya went, sadly.
“ Don’t worry Armaan, I know you love Piya but sometimes it’s better to let small things go off to get bigger and better things…” Tanushree (T) standing at a distance, who only happened to see Armaan-Piya conversing sadly said that to herself.
She smiled and moved towards Armaan.
“Drink?” T offered to Armaan.
“No, Do I know you??” Armaan asked confused.
“Off course you do…indirectly though…I am Piya’s friend…” T smiled.
“Oh…Armaan…” Armaan tried hard to smile; he could but just a bit.
“T sorry Tanushree…Actually, I wonder what a weird story…Rhidhimaa’s fiancé getting engaged to Piya…” Tanushree had a sound chuckle.
“Oh, I am sorry but I am not here to gossip…nice meeting you…” Armaan , thinking she is gonna gossip left towards Rhidhimaa, T looked at him going , angrily.

“ Today engagement…I wonder if tomorrow they’ll even get me married to that Abhay and then this Love…Armaan , Rhidhimaa, Abhay , all seem to be ridiculous…” Piya walked towards the gate talking to her own self, she collided into someone.
“Piya…what happened, walk properly…” Kabir said composing himself, he was all jolly.
“Sorry, I don’t know why I am on a colliding spree…” Piya said to him, rather to herself angrily.
“Today’s your engagement…why are you going out? By the way, you even didn’t told me haan…You loved Abhay…” Kabir was still smiling.
“ Kabir, are you here to talk about Abhay…then sorry, I am not interested…I’ll return in a few minutes…” Piya walked off without even turning.
“ Piya..Arey Listen…” Kabir was left saying.
As he saw her out of sight, drops of tears accumulated in his eyes, “First time I thought I was in love meeting you Piya…I even lost you…” Kabir thought as some drops escaped rebelliously from his eyes though he tried to control them.
He suddenly smiled, “But no, I am happy…you are happy, you are getting your Love…specially Abhay…he’s perfect…I am happy…” Kabir walked inside jolly again.

“It’s almost time for engagement Rhidhimaa…Call Abhay-Piya…” Mrs Madhu ordered Rhidhimaa smiling. Rhidhimaa nodded.
“Yes, I don’t know why Abhay is drinking today…tell him not to…” Noor said worried as she looked at Abhay, Rhidhimaa nodded again and walked towards him.
Abhay was still drinking, lost in his own thoughts when someone kept a hand on his hand which was holding the glass.
“ Abhay , it’s too much for today…it’s time for Ring Ceremony..Come…” Rhidhimaaa said trying to take the glass from him.
“Who are you to tell me that?” Abhay, in a drunken state told angrily to Rhidhimaa resisting.
“Not your friend, I know…but atleast your to be wife’s sister…” Rhidhimaa said trying to snatch the glass again.
“I don’t care…leave…” Abhay was still resisting.
“Abhay…” Noor came from back, acting as if she didn’t hear anything.
“Come beta, see Piya is also standing in the middle now…” Noor smiled as she had just got Piya who was coming back home and told her to go.
Abhay kept the glass there seeing Noor and walked up to the middle while Rhidhimaa-Noor followed.
He held Piya’s hand, took up a Mike and spoke up, “Wow…so today’s my engagement…with the love of my life…Piya…” Piya was trying to get her hand free while listening to him, she realized he was drunk.
“…but it won’t be fun only exchanging rings…let’s do something special…so Today…I am my Love will dance to celebrate this Occasion of our Togetherness…” Abhay held Piya’s hand tighter.
Piya’s eyes widened, “ Abhay leave me…” Piya said while Abhay smiled at her in his drunken state and kept the mike aside, he held both her hands.
“Music…” He shouted while music was played.
Na hai yeh pana
Na Khona hi hai
Tera Na hona jane
Kyun hona hi hai
Tum se hi din hota hai
Surmaiye shaam aati hai
Tumse hi tumse hi
Abhay kept his one hand on Piya’s waist and still held her other, Piya was confused but realizing the eyeballs placed just on her, she held his shoulder unwillingly, they swayed around slowly to the music as lights were turned off and spotlight put on them.
Har ghari saans aati hai
Zindagi kehlati hai
Tumse hi tumse hi
Abhay turned Piya around leaving her waist , Piya swirled and as she turned back, she hit Abhay’s chest…She looked towards him while his one hand was in hers and other on her waist, her other hand was on his shoulders…their eyes got locked in each other’s as they remised their time together.
Na hai yeh pana
Na Khona hi hai
Tera Na hona jane
Kyun hona hi hai
Aankhon mein ankhen teri
Bahoon mein baahein teri
Mera na mujh mein kuch raha hua kya
Baaton mein baatein teri
Raatein saugatein teri
Kyun tera sab yeh ho gaya
hua kya
Mein kahin bhi jata hoon
Tumse hi mil jata hoon
Tumse hi tumse hi
Piya suddenly realized what she was doing and broke the eyelock , they again started swaying to the music as Abhay held her bare neck this time, smoothly , yet it send shivers down her body.
Shor mein khamoshi hai
Thodi se Behoshi hai
Tum se hi tum se hi
Piya removed his hand looking here and there…they continued dancing. Abhay kept it back.
Aadha sa wada kabhi
Aadhe se zayada kabhi
Jee chahe karlu is trah wafa ka
Chode na chote kabhi
Tode na tute kabhi
Jo dhaga tumse jud gaya wafa ka
Mein Tera sarmaya hoon
Jo bhi mein ban paya hoon
Tumse hi tumse hi
Raste miljate hai
Manzile miljati hai
Tumse hi tumse hi
The song was almost ending as Piya almost shivered by his touch.
Na hai yeh pana
Na Khona hi hai
Tera Na hona jane
Kyun hona hi hai
