Happy reading…
The person’s trance was broken by,
Voice: She’ll get all the love she deserves and ma would be happy to give it to her…
Person: (Turned towards the voice.) I know… (Mumbled.) (Their eyes were locked with each other.)
The intruder broke their eye-lock and started to walk away. But was stopped by,
Person: Am I not deserving your love Sam…?
(It is Sammy.)
Sammy: (Turned and locked her eyes with the person.) I’m not deserving for your love sir… (Tears filled her eyes.)
Person: Oh please, don’t you decide for me… I can do it by myself… And listen to me carefully lady, you’re hooked up with me, YOU belong to me… And I’ll make sure about it, it is a promise of Neil Malhotra… (Stepped closer and placed a deep kiss on her forehead.) Be ready my dear future Mrs. Neil Malhotra…
(It is Neil.)
Sammy: (Spoke nothing.)
Neil: (Walked off from the place.)
Sammy: (Tears rolled out of her eyes accompanied by a pleasant smile.)
Scene – 62:
The whole Oberoi mansion was in a haste. The wedding preparations had started in full spin. Elders are running around to get the prime work done. Youngsters were fixing the little issues and works of the media house and other business. Dilshad being the head of MehBerMalHan groups, was busy with both business and wedding preparations. Anyone tried to ease her work, she shooed them off stating, “It is time to enjoy a bit so, off my way…” No one could reduce her burden.
Dilshad: (Was in a call, which was testing every single ounce of her patience. She was cooling herself and was holding back all the screams that threatened to fall.)
Before she could explode, a hand removed the phone from her hold. She turned to find Krishna in all business man mode.
Krishna: Mr. Mehta, Krishna Kumar here… I hope you didn’t forget our last meet…? And the deal which you were discussing with Ms. Dilshad Khan is getting finalized with the same old terms, not a penny more or less will be credited to you… Am I clear Mr. Mehta…?
Other side: …
Krishna: Great… Hold on, confirm the same with Ms. Dilshad Khan, and I hope you don’t dare to raise your voice to any woman moving forward… Remember, I’m just behind you… (He handed the phone back to Dilshad, gave her a sheepish grin and walked off without a word.)
Mr. Mehta: Hello mam… You could have told me earlier that you know Krishna, I wouldn’t have pulled such stunt in front of you… Please forgive me and let him know I apologized, or else he would turn my life a living hell…
Dilshad: Maybe you didn’t hear my son clearly, let me repeat… He said, “I hope you don’t dare to raise your voice to any woman moving forward…” So it is any woman Mr. Mehta…
Mr. Mehta: Son…? Sorry mam, yes mam… Absolutely mam… (Call went off.)
Dilshad: (Thinking.) I’ll find out your true face soon dear… It is my promise…
The five men were witnessing the whole scene from behind the pillar, that neither of the two moticed them. Arjun walked off with a smile, and the rest followed him.
Scene – 63:
Haider: I’m so proud of my little boy… He made the impossible, possible…
Neil: Excuse me, he is my little boy…
Haider: Sorry, couldn’t hear you… Did you say something…? (Asked cleaning his ears.)
Neil: (Was fuming out of anger. It was because our Neil baba is very protective and possessive about his little ones.)
Om: (Sensing the upcoming war.) Ok guys, now relax… But Haider said right, he showed the guts to help Ammee inspite of her warnings to stay off…
Shivaay: He is after all our little brother and RK uncle’s son…
Arjun: (Stood silent.)
Haider: What is it Arjun…? You aren’t saying anything…
Arjun: Guys, who is K actually…? Sometime he is jolly, fun loving photographer Kris, sometimes he is a social thinker and protector, sometimes he is a over protective and daring brother, and now, he is a very calculative and strong business man… What is he actually…? These questions are bugging me every single moment…
Neil: He is right… K had always been a puzzle to me… Initially, he wanted to stay away from us and was safeguarding us, without our knowledge… Then he came out of the darkness and exposed his true self to us… Later, we also came to know that he is too cold towards his enemies, our enemies, and Gauri, the bubbly young lady is his partner in all the above… Urgh… I’m done thinking…
Shivaay: Maybe it is difficult to get things from K, but we can try from the other person right…?
Om: Gauri…? Forget it, she is much more difficult than our little brother… Stubborn woman…
Neil & Haider: Oh really…? Stubborn woman…?
Om: (Giving a irritated look.) Shut up you two…
Shivaay: (Giggled a little.)
Arjun: (Smiled and controlled himself from laughing out loud.)
Om: Stop it guys, already she is eating up my mind and soul…
Haider: So you admit…?
Om: (Gave him a confused look.)
Neil: (Continued.) That your mind is filled with her thoughts… And your soul wants her… (It was a statement rather than a question.)
Om: (His eyes widened and his words shuttered.) What rubbish…? I was just…
Shivaay: (Placing his hand around Om’s shoulder.) It isn’t wrong to be in love, Om…
Om: If the gift is pain and tears, it is better to be away from love… (And walked off, without giving anyone a backward glance.)
The remaining four let out a long sigh. But they weren’t aware of a pair of eyes witnessing the whole incident. It is none other than,
Gauri: (To herself.) I’ll take out all your fears and make you trust on love and life Omkaraji… It is a promise…
Voice: (From behind.) And why would you do that…?
Gauri: (Without turning.) Because he deserves it… (And walked off without glancing back.)
Voice: No, it is because you had fallen for him deeply… You’ll understand this very soon young lady… I’ll make you realize…
Like this days passed. They had only two days for the grand wedding day. Marriage preparations were going in full swing. There was no much changes in any of their lifes. The enemies were silent through out.
Anika was distant from Shivaay. Kids and Shivaay had their own fun time. Pari was distant with anyone, especially Shivaay, as she didn’t want to spoil her sister’s future. The future of these three is a big question mark.
Om is trying to keep his thoughts away from Gauri, as she was literally messing with his mind and soul. The highlight she didn’t do anything to gain his attention. Gauri was astonished to see him like this inspite of her interference. Now she is too messed up with his thoughts only.
Neil is the same old jolly dude. He made sure to make his lady, his Sammy feel his presence and feelings every now and then. Sammy was having a tough time to maintain a straight face in front of him or anyone. She didn’t want to gain anyone’s doubt, but she enjoyed his attention.
Haider stole his lady from others, utilizing every single chance. Meera was enjoying this side of her love. She had disclosed her past six years to him in one of their meet. He listened to her patiently and promised to gain her family’s blessings and love back.
Arjun is head over heel in finding out the puzzle in front of him. He was worried about his family and their security. Radhika was well aware about his stress. She did what is in her capacity to make him smile. She also started her search to find out if Sammy is Arjun’s sister.
Anjali was still waiting for the man who stole her heart to confess his feelings. She didn’t want to be the first person to do it. But our lover boy, Krishna is busy in digging the truth and chasing the evilness surrounding his family.
Scene – 64:
In Oberoi Mansion hall,
Daadi: Dil…
Dilshad: Ji maa…
Daadi: Tomorrow is Sangeet and Mehandi, and day-after tomorrow is haldi and wedding, we have only limited time puttar…
Dilshad: Maa, don’t stress yourself, everything is done almost… Remaining will get done soon…
Daadi: I’m not worried about preparations, I was about to say, why didn’t Pari come… I didn’t find her during any occasions like purchase or preaparations… Is everything fine with her, Dil…?
Dilshad: Even I was thinking the same maa… Even I checked with Ankita, she said that Pari is not feeling well… I wanted to go and check on her, but work and marriage preparations were not letting me to go and visit her…
Their conversation was heard by Shivaay from one corner and Anika from the other side. They moved away without any word.
Daadi: Hmmm… That is not good, Dil… Make yourself free, we’ll go and visit them today…
Dilshad: Ji maa…
Jhanvi and Pinky came there.
Daadi: Puttar…
Jhanvi and Pinky: Ji mummy ji…
Daadi: Heard that Pari is not feeling well… Make yourself free, we’ll go and pay them a visit…
Pinky: Corrects mummy ji… Mein bhee vahi thinkings karahi thee…
Daadi: Achi baath hai… (She saw Anika leaving the mansion.) Anika…
Anika: Ji Daadi… (And walked towards her.)
Daadi: Is anything wrong, puttar…?
Anika: Voh…
Jhanvi: What is the matter dear…? (And rubbed her arm.)
Anika: Was trying to reach Pari and she isn’t answering my calls… It had never happened like this before… She had never failed to answer any of my calls or messages…
Daadi: Puttar, heard that she is not doin well, maybe she is resting aand her phone is in silent…
Anika: (Thinking.) Nahi Daadi, she is absolutely fine… I had been talking to her every single day… Whenever I asked her to come to Oberoi mansion, she ended up giving lame excuses… Now, she lied that she is not well to Dilshad auntyji… She is upto something, I have to find it out… (Her trance was broken by Pinky.)
Pinky: Oh my mata, Anika… Where yours thoughts…?
Anika: Voh mein…
Daadi: Puttar, relax… Don’t be worried, let’s do onething, you join us to meet Pari and family…
Anika: Ji Daadi… Mein abhi aaye… (And walked off.)
Daadi: Dil, nothing should happen to my daughter-in-law…
Dilsahd:Ji maa…
Pinky: Aapa, if this ladki tho apne zidh nahi chodi tho hum kya karangi…?
Daadi: Ishqbaaz, kabi har thee nahi… Just wait and watch, Pinky…
Scene – 65:
Evening – Oberoi mansion,
Daadi: Dil, Jhanvi, Pinky, Anika, come fast puttar…
Dilshad: Sorry maa, got a little late…
Jhanvi & Pinky: Sorry mummyji…
Daadi: That’s fine… But where is Anika…? (She saw Anjali.) Anju…
Anjali: Ji Daadi…
Daadi: Puttar, did you see Anika…?
Anjali: Nahi Daadi…
Pinky: (Screamed.) Oh my mata, Anika…
All the eyes turned towards the same direction, where Pinky was seeing. All were shocked to see Anika carrying Anya in her arms and full of tears. Hearing Pinky’s scream, all came running to the hall. Shivaay came running and got Anya in his arms.
Shivaay: Birdie, birdie… Bacha open your eyes…
Anika: Billu ji… Do something… Anoo…
Seeing Anya unconscious Meera dialed someone immediately and walked away to speak. Haider stepped forward and scooped Ansh in his arms and comforted him.
Shivaay: Anika, chup ho ja… Nothing will happen to Anya… She is absolutely fine… Let’s get her to hospital…
Meera: Not necessary… (She came running and took Anya in her arms, laid her on the couch and freed her from her the tight dress she was wearing.)
Shivaay: But Meera…
Meera: (Cutting him off.) Trust me Shivaay… And Yu is on his way to Oberoi mansion… I’m just following his instructions…
Anika was a crying mess. Shivaay couldn’t see her this state and pulled her into his arms and comforted her. She buried herself in his arms and cried hard.
Anjali was shivering. Krishna who saw her, took her in his arms and held her tightly.
Krishna: Shh… Love relax… Anoo will be fine…
Anjali: (She hugged him back tight, but her eyes were still locked on Anya.)
All trance was broken by a voice from the entrance.
Voice: Is everything fine…?
It was Pari and her family at the entrance.
Anika: Aai… (She pulled herself out of Shivaay’s arms and ran to Ankita and hid herself in her arms.) Aai, meri bache…
Ankita: Shh… Bus bacha, Anoo will be absolutely fine… Shanth ho jaa… (She comforted Anika in her arms.)
As in queue, Dr. Scindhiya came rushing. He went straight to the unconscious girl and checked her. Later, he injected her with the necessary medicines. After few minutes, he stepped back.
Meera: Yu… (With tear filled eyes she approached him.)
Dr. Scindhiya: (Wiping off her tears.) She is fine… Relax…
Meera: (Hugging him tight.) Thank you, Yu… (And cried more.)
Dr. Scindhiya: (With lot of hesitation, he hugged her back and consoled her.)
Haider had a wide smile seeing their union, maybe even the temporary union means a lot to him.
All released the sigh of relief on hearing that the little girl is fine.
