AN : I dedicate this to Jasmine Rahul for suggesting me Pakhi and Anshuman . I have never wrote for them before but seeing Pakhi and Anshuman in an article of Jasmine I recalled the show’s memorable episodes. I am writing this one on the basis of Prem Rog movie itself and I just hope it will came as nice. Because the subject which it handled was sensitive issue of rural villages with a background of healing love and whoever watch it will admire Padmini Kolhapuri and Rishi Kapoor for the way they lived characters in it’s depth. It was old movie and now I am trying to present it in a different way as now a days also there are few serials which limelights the issues of rural villages . Thinking about them only I decided to write this one. Those who have watched the original one please don’t keep much expectations as it’s hard to put the same to same here and I will be removing some negativities also which was a part of the movie to make it realistic . Kindly adjust with the changes and keep reading.
A village of Rajasthan
Two kids Anshuman and Pakhi were playing at the ground. Anshuman was pulling the hair of Pakhi and was making fun of her.
Pakhi : Anshu, It’s paining. Leave it.
Anshuman ; Pakhi your gudiya looks so nice. Will you give it to me ?
Pakhi : No ways , this is my gudiya. Why should I will give this to you ?
Anshuman : Please Pakhi.
Pakhi : No
Anshuman ; If you will not give this to me , I will take it from your hand
Saying this Anshu quickly took the guidya from Pakhi.
Pakhi : Anshu …..Give my gudiya back.
Anshu started running
Anshuman : Catch me if you can
Pakhi ran behind her screaming Anshu , Anshu only. Suddenly she bend down at the way and kept hands at her stomach.
Pakhi screamed : Maayi!!!!
Anshuman rushed near her
Anshuman : Pakhi what happened ?

Anshuman : Ji!!
Kesar and other ladies bring Pakhi to the haweli. As it was first time Pakhi was getting periods she was extremely scared about it.
Kesar : Beti it’s a biological change which happens in a girl’s body. There is nothing to fear about it.
Ratan : Congrats Pakhi !! Dil khush kar diya tum ne. Abb gali-gali mein yeh kahbar pahunchadegi kee hamare ghar mein bhi ladki hein joh badi ho rahi hein. Isske shaadi ke umar kareeb aa rahe hein.

Pakhi : I don’t want any marriage .
Kesar : Beta not now, we are just informing every one that you are no more a kid.
Roopvathi : Pakhi now onwards you will never play with Anshuman . Those days are over for you .
Pakhi : But why ?
Ratan : How long you will keep questioning ? Kesar you didn’t tell her anything about the difference between being a kid and being a girl.
Kesar : Ji everything needs time .
Ratan : Rituals should be done in a grant way .
Meanwhile Anshu and his father arrives there.
Gireesh : Bade saab aapne bulaya humein ?
Ratan : Haan, Pakhi has attended the stage of puberty .

At that evening Pakhi was seated in separate room , some ladies put haldi on her face , hands and legs. Her mother Kesar was about to leave, Pakhi held her hand
Pakhi : Maayi I feels scared to sit alone in this room whole night. Why Maayi I am sitting in floor ? My legs are paining and that bleeding is irritating me a lot.
Kesar : Baccha for three-four days you have to sit alone in room. Accha I have kept clothes there. And here is your food, have it and if bleeding is high then took the cotton cloth and change it.
Pakhi : Maayi !!! When I wear under cloth I feels itching .
Kesar : Pakhi , I don’t have time to hear your compalints.
Kesar left the room and shut the door from outside. Pakhi started crying. After a while Pakhi heard some one calling Pakhi. Pakhi saw Anshu near the window.
Pakhi : Anshu!!
Anshuman : Your gudiya , I came to return this to you . And this is the packet . Keep it with you.
Pakhi : What’s it ?
Anshuman : Teacher Ji told that in these days girls have to use pads . Teacher Ji have kept a book too and asked you to read it . You will understand it. She has given that book’s another copy to me also.
Pakhi :You don’t want this gudiya any more ?
Anshuman : You are alone and I thought if gudiya will be with you you will feel happy.
Pakhi : Thanks a lot Anshu.
Pakhi took the packet and Gudiya from Anshu. Anshu smiled
Anshuman : Pakhi take care.
Ratan : Anshu !!!
Anshu got feared when Ratan came near him. He started beating Anshuman. Suddenly Gireesh came infront of Ratan
Gireesh : Baccha hein. please leave him. Baade saab
Ratan walks away in anger.
AFTER 10 YEARS
Pakhi and Anshuman have grown up now . The haweli was decorated well as it was the wedding day of Pakhi. Anshuman was feeling bad.
Pakhi : You won’t look at me Anshu ?
Anshuman : Why are you doing this ?
Pakhi : Bawuji has fixed it already .
Anshuman : His age is 60 and you are just 20, why Pakhi ?
Pakhi : I have no rights to say anything in this Haweli Anshu. Once I will be married I will leave this village forever.
Anshuman : Pakhi
Pakhi : Anshu, at these streets, these village don’t come again. Go to any other place and settle in your life. This is a hell.
Anshuman : Pakhi
Pakhi started singing in pain…Yeh galiyan yeh chaubara
Yahan aana na dobara
Yeh galiyan yeh chaubara
Yahan aana na dobara
Ab hum to bhaye pardesi
Ke tera yahan koi nahi
Ke tera yahan koi nahi
Le ja rang birangi yaadein
Hansne rone ki buniyadein
Ab hum to bhaye pardesi
Ke tera yahan koi nahi
Ke tera yahan koi nahi
