Prompt : An OS set during the dating day of VashmAy (before the entry of Farooq).
"Amrit!! Amrit!!" Vashma entered her best friend's house and called her name as she came to meet her after getting bored alone.
"Aaja..! Kamre me aaja upar!" Amrit replied from first floor. Though Vashma was taken aback by the silence at Sahani's house. It is never so silent but today nobody is home. She climbed the stairs quickly and entered Amrit's room and asked "oye aaj ghar pe koi ni hai kya??"
"Aree tu to janti hi hai bauji, chacha ji or Bhanu veerji kaam pr gaye hain, sham tak hi aaenge or Uday veerji kal se hockey camp pr gye huye hain. Vo bhi shayad aaj sham nu hi aayein. Baaki kuch keh nhi sakte."
"Or Radha chachi ji? Baki sab kaha hai??" Vashma asked as she already knew about the men.
"Chachi ji or mummy ji kisi rishtedaar ke yaha sangeet me gaye hain. To aaj is haweli me Raanjhan ka raaj hai Sahiba Vashma Baig!!" Amrit said in excitement and happiness.
"Oye hoye hoye hoye hoye! ? Mai vaari jawa!" Vashma said taking her balai and continued "Kya baat hai yaani aaj to Raanjhan apne Randheer sahab se zaroor milegi,, vo bhi - khullam - khulla!!" Vashma said raising her eyebrows.
"Ab teri is saheli ke itni bhi achi kismat nhi.".
"Kyu?"
"Randheer ko aaj apne daftar me bhut kaam hai." Amrit made a puppy face but then suddenly she smiled and said "vese..ek or gal karu?"
"Kar!?" Vashma replied.
"Aaj mummy ji jinke yaha gyi hainaa unke yaha prso shaadi hai. To mainu vi vaha jaana hogaa,, isi liye.."
"Isliye..??"
"Mummy ji kal bazaar se... mere lie... bhut... saara.." Amrit said slowly so as to tease Vashma, while maintaining her excitement.
"Bataa na Amrit!"
"Bhut saara sajne sawarne ka samaan lai hai,, or do nave suit bhi laai hai"
"Wahhhh!!" Vashma screamed but not alone! Amrit screamed in happiness too as both of them love new clothes and accessories and makeup items. These girls who doesn't look like they care about looks do have a very crazy obsession for clothes and stuff, afterall the cinema has a low-key big impact on them. Both of them never left a single time to admire the beauty of actresses whenever they went to cinema together, but they keep it a secret because of a but obvious reason. Their parents!!!
"Kudiyo ko enna dimaag ghar me kaam kaaj me lagaana chaiye.. naa ki sajne sawarne me" Amrit can mirror her bauji's thoughts though in case of Vashma it has always been her ammi more than Dr Baig himself, who tries to keep a control.
However Vashma manages it off somehow.
"Vashma ek khayal aa raha hai mainu,, kyu na hum kuch.." and then she eyed her.
"Kya? Sajna hai??" Vashma questioned.
"Kyu nhi? Abhi to ghr me bhi koi nhi hai, or abhi sirf teen baje hain,, 6 bje se pehle koi ni aanewala..or tab tak to hum ye sab uthakr vapis almaari me rakh bhi denge." Amrit suggested.
"Waah meri Jaaneman ke ander ki Raanjhan aaj uchal rahi hai. Oye hoye hoye hoye hoye!!!" She said and then continued "aaja beth!! Tyar krti hu tujhe!" But to her surprise, Amrit held Vashma by shoulders and made her sit in front of the mirror.
"Kya kar rhi hai!!?" A perplexed Vashma asked.
"Mainu pehle tujhe tayaar karna hai!!"
"Oye mai??? Pagal vagal hogyi hai kya?? Mai kese??"
"Kyu nhi? Mai tera burka pehen sakti hu,, tu punjabi salwaar kameez nhi pehen sakti??" Amrit questioned. "Har libaas sunder hota hai Vashma! Bas hume pehnne ki ijaazat nhi hoti." She said as Vashma smiled.
"Oye par!.. ye tere naye kapde hain.."
"Haa to koi nhi,, tu konsa parai hai mujhse. Tu pehne mai pehnu ek hi gal hai. Or fir mainu bhut man ho raha hai tujhe tyar krne ka,, apne hatho se.."
"Mujhe chudail naa bana dio Amrit!" Vashma said as she remembered Amrit never has taken charge of doing makeover. İt gonna be her first.
A naughty pat on her shoulder took Vashma out of her dread.
"Haaye allah!! Ab aap hi rehem karna mujh pr. Amrit ke hatho me kalam ki bajay jab soorme ki siyaahi hoti hai to.."
"To kuch nhi hotaa,, ab jaa or ye maroon salwar kameez pehen ke aa!" Amrit forced the new punjabi suit in Vashma's hands and pushed her inside the bathroom.
"Haaye Rabba!! Tu kitni changii lag rahi hai Vashma!" Was all Amrit could say as she was perplexed seeing Vashma, her best friend in her attire.
"Aaja!! Aaj to esa tayaar Krna hai tennu ke ,kya batau!" Amrit smiled cheekily.
______________
Amrit and Vashma couldn't believe their eyes when they looked at each other in mirror. Both of them were looking like some goddess in red and maroon salwar suit respectively.
"Amrit sun!! Pr koi ghar aagya to jaldi? Mera matlab abhi?? Fir kya krenge??"
"Koi ni aane wala!! Haa Uday Veerji ka kuch ni keh sakte kyuki kal se gye huye hain,, to vo kbhi bhi aa sakte hain." As Amrit said all this, Vashma's face enlightened with happiness. He will love to see her like this.
~✨Kyun Pyaasi Zindadi Hai, Kyun Pyaase Nain Mere✨~
"Par nhi,, 4 bje unka match hai aakhiri aaj, to aate waqt 6 ya 7 baj jaenge. Vo ni aayenge." Amrit said while pondering over the match timings, though she didn't realise that her best friend's face fell. Amrit still didn't know about Vashma and Uday as the former didn't get any chance to tell her and the latter is too shy to confess his love life in front of her sister.
~✨Kadde Te Aa Sohneya, Jiya Bechain Mere✨~
Amrit immediately out of nowhere asked her best friend if she can stay at her house while Amrit could go to Randheer's office for an hour, to surprise him. After much discussion on repercussions, Amrit finally decided that she will go.
As she left, Vashma sat down on the stairs, thinking about her and Uday. What would have been his reaction of he would have seen her decked up in this attire!? But right now this is not possible. He must be playing his hockey match and he can't-- he won't come. In her line of thoughts, She got dragged in the whirl of past when once Uday confided about his secret, into her long back.
~✨Mai Dekhoon Raah Teri, Tu Aake Bhi Na Aaye✨~
"Uday vese ek baat kahu!?" Vashma said.
"Nhi!" He replied while not even looking at her because he knew she will say. Vashma as he expected, held his face and made him look at her "vo mai ye keh rhi thi ke tu kitna pakau hai..! Tujhse kon pagal ladki vyaah karegi?"
~✨mujhe tu kyu sataye, kyun utthe dil chhod aaye ✨~
"Oye or koi bilkul hi gadha hogaa to jo tere jesi jhalli se nikaah krega! Badii aai!" He made a taunt, not giving her a chance of relief that she teased him successfully and then continued "meri Botti to koi bhut hi sunder haseen kudi hogi. Jo bebe jesi aankho wali hogi.."
A fully dressed Vashma stood up from the staircase and headed to Uday's room and looked at his mother's picture as she still remember his words he said back then. Uday always wanted his wife to have eyes and features like his mother. She looked at herself in his mirror while handling the picture in one hand. "Kya mai aapke jesi dikhti hu chachi ji? Nahi!? Haa bilkul nhi. Aap to bhut khubsurat hain. Kaash aap Uday ke sath hoti..! Mere sath hoti.." she said softly.
~✨Tu Mere Kol Aaja, Ya Mainu Tu Bulaale✨~
"Fir to tu akela hi reh jaega..! Kaushalya chachi ji jesi koi kudi milni bhut mushkil hai." Vashma joked.
"Oye Chup karjaa!"
"Acha bata bata or kya kya khoobi chaiye tujhe apni hone wali biwi me!?" She further asked laughingly.
"Oye ye sab gal nhi pataa mainu." He said perplexed at her question but more with himself. But Vashma knew how naive he's . Uday don't think about girls. He doesn't even know if he should! He is too precious for this World where the boys of his age have a long list of qualities they want in their girlfriends or wife.
~✨Ye Rang-e-Roop Mera, Tu Chupke Se Churaale✨~
"Oye par Maine naa Bebe ki purani tasveere dekhi hai, bebe bhut sunder thi,, kaale lambe baal, salwaar kameez me te kaddi lehenge me. Bebe ki bhut yaad aati hai mujhe Vashma.." He said while Vashma tilted her head in awe of him. How much he misses his mother.
In present, Vashma meanwhile is busy missing him. "Uday tu aaj kyu nhi hain yaha? Kal se gayab hai! Kya tujhe meri itti si bhi yaad nhi aati. Teri ye Vashma aaj unhi kapdo me khadi hai jinme tu apni biwi ko dekhna chahta tha.. ab kyu nhi aa jata ghar!?" She said in a crying tone to herself.
~✨mujhe apnaa bana ke huye tum kyu paraye ✨~
"Tu to janta hai na Uday ke mai baar baar ese sab kapde nhi pehn paungi, ese tyaar nhi ho paungi jabtak..jab tak..tera mera nikah na ho jaye.."
"Janti hu oye janti hu hockey ke liye gaya hua hai par..!! Acha thik hai abhi se aadat daal leti hu ke kabhi kabhi esa hoga ke tu mere pas nhi hoga..or mujhe intezaar karna hoga..! Pr intezar karne pr bhi Agar nahin aaya tu to allah kasam Jaan le lungi Teri.." she stated to convince her own self who's still waiting for a miracle to happen so that he can come and see her right now.
~✨O yaara Tum naa aaye kyun utthe dil chhod aaye ✨~
Just when Vashma was in her musings of Uday, in front of his mirror in his room, she heard something. Opening of main door maybe!?
"Darwaaze bahar se khol liye yaani koi ghar aagya..! Ab mai kaha jau!! Kisi ne mujhe dekh lia ese to shaamat aa jaani hai..or Amrit bhi ghar nhi..." Vashma placed the picture back on Uday's table and moved back in horror as she didn't know what to do now. She was moving backwards when she hit someone from behind. Her pupils dilated as she walked into someone but at the same time, she shut her eyes closely as she didn't want to face the situation.
A second later she heard a bag falling on the floor with thud and her chin being held. She knows the touch.
"Vashma!"
"Uday!" Both uttered each other's name at the same time as Uday dropped his bag on the floor on being perplexed at Her beauty and Vashma happened to open her tightly closed eyes.
~✨Le akkhan Rakh le girvi, deewani hai ye teri✨~
Both looked at each other with mesmerisation. Uday didn't know how to even compliment her for looking this perfect. Just the way he used to dream about Vashma, it seems she stepped out straight from the same. He was shamelessly staring at her with utmost admiration, that it made Vashma finally break the eye contact and she looked else where in shyness.
~✨churaake tujhse nazarein, tujhe dekha karengi✨~
Vashma was feeling whirlwind of emotions under his gaze - excitement, shyness, embarassment, attraction. Her hormones didn't have balance. Meanwhile Uday was feeling ecstatic at her beauty. How can she look this gorgeous. He can't comprehend the fact that after daily, looking beautiful in her shararas and burkha how come she today nailed this makeover too. The girl who's the reason of his entire existence is looking so beautiful, pretty and dreamy.
~✨ye kya deewangi hai, kyu mera dil shor paaye✨~
Vashma not feeling the best, tend to move away and walked past him when her breathe hitched as the reality of him holding her hand dawned upon him. Her heart fluttered at the situation. Though she has been desperately waiting for his arrival so that he can see her, but as now he's here she is feeling shy. Vashma is flushed in his presence. How would he react? Is he finding her beautiful? Or ugly?
~✨ye kya mujhko hua hai, kyun utthe dil chhod aaye✨~
"Rukk, udhar nhiii, aithe aa.." he pulled her back and she felt his touch as if silk cloth brushed her hands. He was so soft but demanding.
Uday can't have his head and heart at peace. Vashma has been doing wonders to him. The thought that she has been dressed as per his liking, is driving him crazy. His eyes didn't move an inch as he is admiring her. His ultra gorgeous friend turned girlfriend is looking breathtakingly beautiful with her open long black tresses which usually are loose open but today are tied in long braid celebrated with a paraanda, and her hairstyle is adorned by numerous small braids at the front. Uday realised that her small curls are today left open as open tresses.
~✨woh mere rubaroo hain, meri chahat ka chaandan ✨~
She is wearing a maroon punjabi salwaar kameez, with dupatta worn in not her usual style, but crossed against her neck freely. But one thing is constant, her kohl lined eyes. Uday can never get enough of her eyes. She speaks a lot with those angel like eyes of her without uttering any words. Though she speaks a lot otherwise too. Uday smiled at her as he held her in front of him and looked at her eyes. Vashma however was dying in anticipation of his reaction. By his expressions, she understood that he liked her in this outfit but verbal reassurance is what she want. Her heart has been beating faster than usual. It is second time in a while that they hardly exchanged any words. First time it happened on their first date in coffee house. No matter how much two people bicker in real but when they fall in love, a lovely silence prevails.
~✨Bani mai heer uski, vo mere man ka raanjhan ✨~
"Oye Vashma!! teri ye aakhein.." Uday uttered but before he could complete she snapped him angrily "oye aankhein? Aaj bhi aakhein?? kyu?? kya naya hai inme? kajal ki jagah kya maine inme powder lagaa lia hai, kya naya kia hai maine inme?
"matlab?" Uday asked in astonishment as he stood blank at the thought why she got angry?
"oye matlab!! Mai puri ki puri aaj tere pasand ke kapdo me hu, baalo me paraanda pehna hai, salwaar kameez pehni hai pr tujhe vo kuch nayaa nhi lagaa, dikhi bhi to kya -- meri aakhein! Mai jaa rhi hu Uday, hatt pare!!" she said and was again leaving when he held her by her shoulders this time, while smiling. He made her look upto him and said "oye challiye!! sab dekh raha hu main, sab! Par jab gal teri aakhon ki honaa, to us bare soch kr to mai saari dunia nu bhulaa deta hu. Bilkul bebe jesi hain!"
~✨Ye Rasme Aashiqui Hai, Koi Kaise Nibhaye✨~
Vashma's heartbeat knew no bounds. She never felt so special, not even when he called her dunia ki sab to changii kudi. Not even then! But now! He compared her to his mother. What else she can expect after this when she knows she could hardly be like her Kaushalya chachiji. Vashma looked down as she couldn't meet her gaze.
"Aaj mai kitna khush hu, bataa nhi sakta. Thak haar ke do din baad jab aaj ghar lauta to kamre me aate hi tu dikhi, vo bhi ese! Oye ek gal kahvaa?" he asked and she just nodded.
"tuje naa khud ko kabhi bhi badalne ki zaroorat nhi hai. Oye mennu tu tere burkhe me, tere unhi kapdo me bhi utni hi pasand hai jitni in kapdo me. Mai tennu apni pasand na pasand ke liye badalna nhi chahta..."
"oye chup! Ye maine apni marzi se pehne hain. Or kisne kaha mai badal gyi? haa?"
"par mai tere naal jab bhi vyaah karunga to isliye nhi karunga ke tu vo sab kare jo sirf mai chahta hu, tu nhi." he said softly for he loves her unconditionally without expectations and hopes. Though it is the biggest truth that he's very happy seeing her like this but she doesn't need to do all this necessarily.
"Aur tu janta hai mai kya chahti hu?" she cross questioned him and he looked at her in amusement. "buddhu ram!" Vashma hit his head lightly.
" mai chahti hu ke jo kuch tujhe nhi pasand vo sab chod du, or vo sab apna lu jo tuje pasand hai. Oye jo log pyaar me hote haina, vo ek dusre ki pasand ka khayal rakhte hain. Or is sab se vo badalte nhi, behtar hote hain." she replied in a slow soft voice. "ab chal bataa mai kesi lag rhi hu?"
"sab to sunder, sab to haseen or sab to changii. Oye tu aaj itni khubsurat lag rhi hai ki mennu samjh hi ni aa rha, kese batau. Esa kya kahu ke tennu pata chle, mai kitna khush hu!" he said and just kept staring at the beauty in front of him, he is holding close.
~✨vo chup hain sar jhukaaye, kyun utthe dil chhod aaye✨~
Vashma hugged him as some happy tears slipped past her cheeks in awe of his love for her. And now she wants that their love should keep on growing day by day. She silently prayed to her allah that may he bestow the best on them, may their love stay intact and may her lord give her the willingness and resources so that she can complete his each and every wish. He's her universe afterall.
✨"jo jo rang mujhe bachpan se pasand nhi the na, janti hai ab isiliye pehnta hu kyuki vo rang pehnta hu to tere chehre par muskuraahat aati hai, oye gaane gaane laga hu yaar, filmy gaane"✨
