There is hustle- bustle in the whole Bharat Nagar . Everyone is doing one or another things as there is very less time left for the marriage.
Dev looks at the flame of holy fire as he is sitting in front of the holy fire .Today is his marriage with the girl whom he loves .
Situation would be different if it would be some other day .May be They would have confessed their love and then after some time of courtship as a couple they would have decided to get married . Marriage procession would have been different too.Wearing red bridal lehenga she would enter in his house as well in his life .Life after there marriage would be something else .But now situation is different.
Why destiny has to be so cruel ?
His chain of thought gets broken by the noise that indicates her arrival.He looks up .He have thought that she will come in red bridal lehenga but She is wearing a long Salwar kurti.He mentally slapped himself over his thought . Obviously from where she will arrange bridal lehenga in short span of time .
She gives a thousand watt smile as she stands in front of him and winks at him.He chuckles at her antics but at the same time he is not able to stop tears from coming in his eyes.
"Ab bhi waqt hai Anu .Please mat karo" He tried last time to stop her .
"Waqt hi to nhi hai Dabbu" She said with a smile.
"Tumhe sare jivan ki taqlif de kar jaa raha hu .Antim waqt per ye dard mat do" He doesn't give up.
"You deserve that. Mujhe ignore karne ki punishment hai. Sara dard sirf mera nhi ho sakta na ." She replied."Tumhara ho gya ho to rashme start kare "
"Har baar harne ke baad bhi pta nhi kyu mai iske saath behas karta hu" He said to himself in low voice but loud enough to reach her ears.
"Kyuki meri face hi aaisi hai .Log dekh kar ignore nhi kar paate " She repeated his lines with smile while putting garland in his neck .
"Ha aaisa ajeeb chehra log generally nhi dekhte na" He replied with smirk while putting garland in her neck .
"Youuuuu" She shows her finger toward him with fake anger while her eyes are filled with tears.
"Meeeeee" He said smiling in tears while holding her finger and convert it into handshake.
"Ye log apni Shaadi me bhi lad rahe hai" Said Padmani ji emotionally while smiling in tears and rest of them chuckles at her comment.
They sits near the holy fire while priest starts chanting mantras.
"Sirf Kuch ghanto ke liye ye pehne jaa rahi hu" He said while picking up the Mangalsutra.
"Pehan to rahi hu na .Tumhara bas chalta to ye bhi nhi pehan pati " She said signalling him to tie it in her neck.
He rolled his eyes and ties the mangalsutra around her neck. She closes her eyes as she put sindoor in her hairline while tears appears around corner of her eyes with a smile on her face.She has been waiting for this day since a long time and now when her dreams come true its life span is only for some hours.
He looks away to hide his ears which is threating to come after seeing Ananya 's tears.
They stands for the 'PHERA' after composing themselves.
"Kya vada karu tumse ? He said looking in her eyes" koi bhi wada nibha nhi paaunga "
"Jo sare promises hote hai wahi karoge na. Shaadi ke phere me apne paise wapas karne ka to promise nhi le sakti na" She said shrugging her shoulder sounding obviously.
"Paise ? Maine kaun se paise liye tumse" He asked.
"Ye saare arrangement free me nhi hue hai maine apna paisa use Kiya hai . Technicaly tumhe half paisa dena chahiye tha . Shaadi tumhari bhi hai" She said.
"Maine nhi kaha tha tumse ki mujhse shaadi karo. Tum jabardasti kar Rahi ho" He said .
" Aap dono Phere lenge mujhe dusri jagah Jana hai . Waqt nhi hai mere pass " said Priest who is getting irritated from their argument.
"Inke pass waqt nhi hai" said Dev to Ananya while she chuckles .
"Ha nhi hai .Meri biwi mera pura paisa udda degi" said the priest.
"Isme aapki biwi bich me kaha se aa gyi" asked Chheda ji.
"In Madam me usse kidnap kar ke shopping Mall bhej diya hai aur usse mera credit card de diya hai.Jab tak mai Shaadi nhi karwaunga tab tak wo wahi rahegi " Said priest on the verge of crying while Dev along with rest other looks at Ananya unbelievably who is looking here and there.
"Agar aap dono itna ladte hai to shaadi kyu kar rahe hai" added the priest .
"taki Authentically lad sake as husband wife" replied Ananya.
"Lado nhi sharmao" Said Karuna ji in the middle ." Ananya shaadi hai tumhari thora to sharmao."
"Mai kyu sharmao .Mai shaadi kar rahi hu.Kuch galat to nhi kar rahi " She said shrugging her shoulder .
"Shaadi me dulhan sharmati hai " said Devaki ji.
"Kaha likha hai ki Dulhan ka sharmana jaruri hai." replied Ananya.
"To sharmane ki acting hi kar lo " said Padmani ji.
"Mujhe acting nhi karni .Sharm nhi aa rahi to shaadi nhi hogi kya" said Ananya.
" Mat sharmao " Said Dev folding his hand. "Ananya aur blushing ka waisa hi rishta hai jaisa aag aur thandak ka hai "He said to everyone." Ab phere le le .Mere pass waqt nhi hai"
They both take seven vows around the holy fire and priest declared them as husband and wife and hurriedly run from there to save his money.
After sometime
Ananya is Standing in front of Dev's house with Dev beside her while Karuna is welcoming new couple by performing Aarti.
Ananya dip her hand in Kukum . She touches the wall near the entrance with that hand leaving her hand's print on that wall.Later she push the Kalash so that rice gets scattered in his house and enters in the house along with him.
"Ab se ye Ghar tumhara bhi utna hi hai jitna Dev hai "Said Karuna ji after Ananya enters in the House.
"Vivi tum hum dono ki acchi si Picture click kar do na " Said Ananya to Vivan who is silent all the time.He nodded slightly and goes to take the camera.
"Ab Newly wed couple ko thori der ke liye akela choor dete hai ."Said Devaki as she understands that her daughter wants to spend sometime with Dev.
"Ha Bilkul " Said Karuna ji and Soon everyone comes out from the house leaving only Dev and Ananya.
"Bahut ziddi ho na tum"He said after everyone left from there .
"Tumhe bahut jaldi pta chal gya" She replied with sarcasm.
"Maine sab Barbad kar diya na Anu " He said being emotional." Mujhe lga tha ki tumse dur rahunga to dheere dheere tum mujhse dur ho jaogi aur Khud ke liye ek aaisa jeevansathi dundh logi jo tumhe wo sab kuch de jo tum deserve karti ho per...
"Mai tumhe deserve karti hu Dabbu" She said while looking in his eyes ."Mai tumhara saath deserve karti hu .Mai tumhara pain ka half share deserve karti hu.Mai tumhare problems ko deserve karti thi but wo to tumne Diya nhi. Ek pal ke liye bhi apni life ka hissa nhi mana tumne mujhe" She said as tear rolled down on her cheeks.
"I am sorry " He said." Mai tumhe dard se dur rakhna chahta tha . Ab bhi dekho na mere life ka hissa ban kar sirf dard hi to milega tumhe . Sari zindagi bas ......"He looks away to control his tears.
"Tumhe lagta hai ki agar mai tumse shadi nhi karti to kisi aur se kar leti" She asked and he looks at her instantly which gives her the answer.
"Tumhari jagah meri life me kabhi koi nhi le sakta hai Dabbu."She said "Ha fark sirf itna hai ki tab mere pass koi haq nhi hota " She said wiping her tears " But ab mai Mumma ko keh sakti hu ki Hum ek baar jeete hai, ek baar marte hai ,Pyar bhi ek baar hota hai aur Shaadi bhi sirf ek baar hi hoti hai" She said dramatically and he chuckles between his tears.
"Itna pyar karti ho mujhse " He asked with smile.
"Galti to insaano se hi hoti hai na " She replied with a smile."Mera taste waise bhi bahut bura hai.
They laughs while tears keep flowing on their cheeks . Slowly his laughter dies as his eyes are looking at his newly wedded wife who is still laughing .
Sensing his gaze,she too stops laughing and looks in his eyes .For some seconds both of them keep looking at each other.
Next moment Dev pull her toward himself and embrace her tightly.She too keep her hand on his back to feel his presence with closed eyes while engulfing his feel inside her while tears keeps flowing down on her cheeks.
"Tum dusri shaadi kar lena " He said breaking the hug while she still is in his arms.
"O hello"She said with smile while showing him her finger
"Hello" He hold her finger and covert it into handshake like always.
"tumhe kya lagta hai .Agar kisi se pyar hua to kya mai tumhari Devdasi ban kar rahungi" She said ."Obviously shaadi kar Lungi per problem hai ki tumhari tarah dabbu koi dusra piece bna hi nhi hai"
He looks away with smile on his face while tears in his eyes.
"Anu ,Maine Maa ko kuch bhi nhi btaya hai. Wo bardast nhi kar pati."He said after pause." Unhe sambhal lena "
She nodded without speaking a word.
"Mai ek baar Maa se mil kar aata hu " He said after looking at the watch .He has very less time .
She wants to be with him in each and every second of remaining time but she understands that for him , being with his mother during his last time will give him soothing feeling .
Unwillingly she steps back .He walks toward the door while her eyes are fixed on him .He stops near the door and turn back. He walks back toward her and stands in front of her .She looks at him while he keep looking at her.
He places his hand on her both cheeks and kisses on her forehead while she closes her eyes feeling his lips on her forehead .
"Aata hu" He said and left from there without turning back.
So How was the chapter.?
