Meera-Haseena...!
Haseena-ji maa.. ?
Meera-ja taiyar ho jaa, Samdhan ji tumhe lene aa rahi hai...
Haseena-maa abhi shaadi huyi nhi toh phir humne lene kyu aa rahi hai....(she asked questionably).
Meera-Tumhari shaadi ka lehanga kharidne ke liye....
Haseena-par humne toh apne designer ko bata diya hai aur woh hamare sare function ke liye dress bana bhi rahe hai, aapne bataya nhi maa ko....
Meera-bataya par unka kehna hai ki unke yahan ka rivaj hai ki shaadi ka joda ladke walon ke ghar se aata hai, aur isliye tumhe unke sath jakar apne liye apni wedding dress choose karni padegi....
Haseena-haan toh jo design aur dress choose ki hai humne uska bill pay karke woh dress le jaye aur phir hume de de....(she said smilingly).
Meera-Haseena..!baccho wali baatein mat karo aur jakar ready ho jao....
Haseena-par maa....(pouted cutely).
Meera-ek baar chali ja dekh aa shayad mood badal jaye aur kuch naya pasand aa jaye....
Haseena-address bataya maa ne?
Meera-woh khud aa rahi hai lene ke liye, tum bas ready ho jao....
Haseena-okay.....
20 minutes later
Haseena-aap yahan kaise aur maa kahan hai...(she asked Anubhav).
Anubhav-maa nhi hum ja rahe hai aapke sath, aapki maa ne bataya nhi?
Haseena-nhi, maa ne toh kaha ki maa aa rahi hai hume lene....(she said looking at Meera).
Meera-tumhe surprise dene ke liye bola, ab jao....(smilingly).
Haseena-waisa accha surprise hai...(she said smilingly, looking at Anubhav).
Anubhav-chale, late ho raha hai...
Haseena-bilkul....
Anubhav (to Meera)- maa aap tension mat lena hum aapki beti ko kuch ghante baad wapas chhod jayenge...
Meera-tension hume iske liye nhi hogi aapke liye ho rahi hai...
Haseena-Mumma...(frowned).
Meera-accha ab jaldi jao aur enjoy your day....(she said with a teasing smile).
Anuseena looks at each other.
Haseena-chaliye Anubhav ji...
SK Fashion House (fictional)
"Haseena ji, inse miliye yeh Kusum hai is jagah ki owner." Anubhav introduced a girl around twenty six, with brown eyes and hair with a beautiful smile.
Haseena-Hello Kusum...(she said, giving her hand for handshake).
Kusum-Hello Haseena, khushi huyi aapse milkar (doing handshake), inse miliye yeh meri dost aur partner...Srija....(she introduced her friend, who is same age of her with black hair).
Haseena forward her hand towards Srija, who is looking at Anubhav without blinking her eyelashes.
Kusum-Srija...(pinched her to break her trance).
Srija-Mujhe vishwas nhi ho raha hai ki sach mein Anubhav Singh hamare Fashion House mein aaye hai....(she said in shock).
Anubhav smiles and offers to shake hands. Srija smiles and shakes hands.
Srija-main aapke aur aapke style ki bahut badi hai fan hoon, aap toh fashion ke icon hai...(smilingly).
Anubhav-thanks, hume khushi huyi jaan kar...(he said with a smile).
Haseena(in mind)-kaise muskura kar baat kar rahe hai in dono se aur humse baat karte time toh tax lag jata hai smile par....man toh kar raha hai ki...ki...chhhah..idea bhi nhi aa raha hai is waqt warna kuch na kuch toh jaroor karte hum...(grumpily).
Anubhav-Haseena ji...(he quipped in front of her calling her).
Haseena-aap kuch kah rahe the?
Anubhav-chaliye aapke liye dress dekh li jaye....
Haseena-hmm...waise yahan aur log nhi hai I mean customer?
Kusum- actually aaj aap hamari special guest hai....(she said smilingly).
Haseena-Ohh..okay.....
Srija-aap sari wedding dresses ek baar dekh lijiye aur jo jo pasand aaye hume bata dijiye....
Haseena-ji....
Kusum-Anubhav....(hearing his name without sir, Haseena stare at Kusum in shock, anger and jealousy).
Anubhav-hmm....(scrolling his phone).
Kusum-coffee peena pasand karoge?
Anubhav-of course....
Kusum-Riya four coffee for us....(she ordered a team member of her).
Srija-Haseena aap please us section mein chaliye udhar aapke liye sari dresses choose karke rakhi gyi....(she said, pointing at the dressing room).
After finishing their coffee they went to dressing room.
Kusum-aap dono dresses dekh lijiye, hume ek meeting attend karni hai toh hume jana padega...(she excused themselves).
Srija-par don't worry, hamari team hai aapki help ke liye aur hum bhi thodi der mein free ho hi jayenge....
Haseena-koi baat nhi aap dono ja sakti hai....(smilingly).
Kusum-thank you, chalo Srija...(they left from there).
Anubhav-aap dresses dekh lijiye....(he said while sitting on a bean bag).
Haseena-waise aap Kusum ko personally jante hai?
Anubhav-ek 5 saal pehle ek fashion show mein mila tha, tab Kusum is line mein fresher thi...par kabhi mehnati ladki hai....
Haseena-oh...tabhi woh aapko itne pyar se sirf Anubhav kah rahi thi...(she said with anger but in calm in tone).
Anubhav-humne toh aapko bhi hume Anubhav kehne ke liye kaha tha aap hi hume ji ke sath bulati hai...
Haseena-thik hai hum bhi aaj se aapko Anubhav kah kar bulayenge....(she said with a cute pout).
He hummed. She gets busy in choosing her wedding lehenga.
Haseena-yeh green wala kaisa hai...(she asked, showing him a green and pink combination lehenga).
Anubhav-thik hai, ek bar try karke dekh lijiye...
Haseena-pehle choose kar lete hai....
After twenty minutes she chooses few dresses.
Haseena-hum change karke aate hai...(she went to trial room).
After few minutes
Haseena-suniye....(she called him).
He lifts his head and looks at her.
Anubhav-wow....bahut sundar lag rahi hai aap....
(Her dress without dupatta and jewelry).
Haseena-sacchi....(twirling happily).
Anubhav-ji bahut sundar lag rahi hai aap....(he said with a smile).
Haseena-hum baki ke lehenge bhi try karke dikhate hai....
Anubhav-ji....
One by one she showed him all the lehengas.
Haseena-yeh wali thodi heavy hai par thand itni hai ki kaam chal hi jayega....
Anubhav-hmm...abhi aur bache hai kya?
Haseena-ji sirf do aur...
Anubhav-jaldi kariye....
Haseena-bas das minutes....(she went to changing room).
Haseena-yeh wala kaisa lag raha hai....(twirling around).
Anubhav-accha hai....
Haseena-aapko toh sab acche lag rahe hai phir hum kisi ek ko choose kaise karenge....
Anubhav-sare le lijiye phir usme kya problem hai....
Haseena-itne sare lehenge ka hum karenge kya, shaadi ek hi baar hone wali hai hamari......
Anubhav-aap jaiye aur jo bachi hai woh pehan kar aaiye phir hum batate hai.....
Haseena-ji....(she went inside the changing room).
A minute later she peeped out the door of the changing room.
Haseena-suniye....(he glanced at her).
Anubhav-kya hua?
Haseena-woh hamara pendant fas gya dress mein....please help kar dijiye....
Anubhav-hum help kare?
Haseena-ab hamare fiance aap hai toh help karne ke liye hum Virat Kohli ko toh bula nhi sakte (taunted) waise bhi uske shaadi ho gyi hai warna bula hi lete...(she said sadly).
Anubhav-bada dukh hua jaankar ki ab aap apne param mitra Virat ko nhi bula sakti.....(he said with fake concern).
Haseena-haan toh ab help kariye hamari....
Anubhav-aap bahar aa jaiye yahan koi nhi aane wala.....
Haseena-oh hum bhul gaye....(she said with a nervous smile).
She stepped out, facing her back to him.
Haseena-dekhiye shayad blouse ki dori mein fas gya hai, please aaram kariyega yeh pendent hamara favourite hai....
Anubhav-ji....(he slide her hair from back to on her right shoulder).
She giggles as his fingers touch her skin.
Anubhav-kya hua?
Haseena-gudgudi ho rahi hai hume....(she said giggling).
Anubhav-aap bhi na.....waise yeh aapke is dhaage se bandh gya hai...
Haseena-dori?
Anubhav-haan wahi...hum ise khol dete hai....
Haseena-aaram se....
Anubhav-ji...(he untied the knot of the blouse, but unfortunately her blouse fell from her shoulders).
Anubhav bites his tongue, while Haseena does not notice it. He leans against her shoulder to adjust her blouse.
Haseena-aap....(she turns towards him as soon as she feels his hand, he also looks at her and....their lips meet with each other's).
A unknown tingling sensation runs down through their spine. He backs away, breaking their eye contact and unplanned kiss. While she covers her lips with her palms with open eyes.
Anubhav-Sorry...(He mumbles, raises his head to look at her).
When he sees her, she nods her head vigorously and she faints but he grabs her by the waist before falling to the floor.
Anubhav-lagta hai behosh ho gyi hai....(worried).
••••••••••••••••••••
Anubhav-Haseena....(he calls her softly).
She hears his voice and slowly she open her eyes. She looks at him with a smile.
"Aap thik hai?" Someone asked her, she looked at the person.
Haseena-ji, par aap dono kab aayi....
Kusum-abhi thodi der pehle hi aaye par aap behosh kaise ho gyi thi?
Srija-kya Kusum kaise sawal kar rahi ho, dulhan hai apni shaadi mein perfect look ke liye dieting kar rahi hongi, kyu Haseena...
Anubhav raised his eyebrows, Haseena nodded negatively.
Haseena-hum nhi karte dieting....(she said, looking at Anubhav).
Srija-phir behosh kaise ho gayi?
Haseena-woh bas aise hi....(she said nervously).
Kusum-umm...aapne dresses try kar liya?
Haseena-ek dress rah gyi hai...
Kusum-try karengi?
Haseena-nhi...
Srija-phir kaun sa aapke liye taiyar kiya jaye?
Haseena-jo abhi tak nhi pehna hai, woh hume bahut pasand aaya....
Kusum-thik hai aapko lehenga ki length kitni chahiye woh bata dijiye aur apna measurement de dijiye....
Srija-aur kuch changes karwane hai toh bata dijiye hum banawa denge....
Haseena-ji hum, pehle change kar le phir batate hai....
Srija-ok....
After sometime
They are sitting quietly in the car while the driver is driving.
Anubhav-aap aaj itni shant kyu baithi hai....(he asked her).
Haseena-puchh toh aise rahe hai jaise yaad hi nhi thodi der pehle kya hua...(she whispered to herself).
Anubhav-kya kaha aapne?
Haseena-kuch nhi...
Anubhav-umm....sorry, jo hua uske liye....
Haseena-aapne jaan bukhar thodi kiya, jo hua woh toh galti se hua (she said, playing with her fingers), waise thoda personal hai par aapse ek question puchh sakte hai?
Anubhav-hmm....
Haseena-mana aapki koi girlfriend nhi rahi hai past life mein par kya kabhi koi physical relation raha hai?
Hearing her question, he looks at her.
Anubhav-aapki is sawal ki wajah jaan sakte hai hum?
Haseena-woh bas aise hi puchha, agar hua bhi toh hume koi fark nhi padega kyunki aapne khud humse kaha hai ki aap hamare rishte mein honest rahenge...
Anubhav-jab fark hi nhi padega toh puchh kyu rahi hai aap?
Haseena-bas aise hi ki future mein koi aakar aapki bacche ki maa hone ka dawa na karde....
He smile, looking at her.
Anubhav-yaad nhi hume....(he said causally).
Haseena-kya yaad nhi hai...(worriedly).
Anubhav-yahi ki kitni ladkiyon ke sath hamare physical relations rahe hai....(she looks at him with wide eyes)
Haseena-kitni matlab...aapne itni sari ladkiyon ke sath relation banaye hai ki aapko yaad hi nhi hai....(tensed).
Anubhav-hmm....phir agar anumaan lagaye toh....20 plus hongi hi...
Haseena-20 plus....(shocked).
Anubhav-haan par aap itna shock kyu ho rahi hai, abhi toh aapne kaha ki aapko fark nhi padega.....
Haseena-haan kaha par woh sirf ek do ke liye itni sari ladkiyon ke sath....(she said in despair).
Anubhav-ab ek do ke sath relationship par aapko fark nhi padega toh bakiyon se bhi nhi padna chahiye...
Haseena-bahar toh sabki nazaro mein bal brahmchari bante hai phirte hai phir yeh sab kaise?
Anubhav-jab aapko gyat hai ki hum bal brahmchari the aapse sagai se pehle tak toh aise bekar sawal puchh kyu rahi thi...(he said tauntingly).
Haseena-matlab aapne jo kaha woh jhooth hai...(surprisingly).
Anubhav-haan, par aapke dimag mein yeh sawal aaya kyu yeh jante huye ki hum bal brahmchari hai?
Haseena-woh hume laga ki college time mein shayad kabhi behak gye ho....(she said hesitantly with a cute pout).
Anubhav- 15 saal ke the hum jab humne brahmcharya ko apnaya tha, hum tab se ladkiyon se door rehte hai....
Haseena-kyu? Itni kam umar mein aisa karne ki koi khas wajah...
Anubhav-hmm...hamare bade Pita ji...(he said with a smile).
Haseena-aapke bade Papa bhi hai?
Anubhav-nhi...15 saal pehle unka dehant ho gya bas unke jaane ke baad hi hum unke nakshe kadam par chal diye....
Haseena-kya hua tha unhe?
Anubhav-aapka ghar aa gya...(he said as driver stopped the car in front of her house).
Haseena-hmm....hamare sawal ka jawab kab milega?
Anubhav-jis din hum dono ke rishte ke dhaage mein vishwas ki moti pad jayegi...
Haseena-okay....coffee?
Anubhav-thank you par abhi hume thoda kaam isliye phir kabhi....
Haseena-thik hai phir milte hai shaadi wale din ya usse pehle kisi function mein....(she said while opening the car door).
Anubhav-ji...bye....
Haseena-bye....
Anubhav- aapke Helping Hand ko toh lekar jaiye....(he said, giving her Mr.HH).
Haseena-thank you...(smilingly).
She gets out of the car; He too.
Anubhav- jara paas aayengi....(she moves towards him).
Haseena-kuch kehna hai?
AS-ji....(he said with a smile and suddenly he cupped her face in palms of his hand).
She looks at him in surprise. He smiles and places lingering kiss on her forehead which allays her jealousy, unwanted fear of losing him and removes all the questions from her mind which are bothering her from long time.
Haseena(in mind)-Hey murlidhar hum phir se sapna dekh rahe hai, Haseena...(pinched herself but realization hit her hard when she found it that it was not her dream).
Anubhav-khayal rakhiyega apna...(he said with a smile).
She smiles wholeheartedly.
Haseena-aap bhi....(she said happily).
•••••••••••••••
Adi-kya baat hai aaj tummmmmm late aaye office...(he teased Anubhav).
Anubhav-hume pata hai ki tumhe sari khabar hai toh bekar ke sawal puchhna band karo aur yeh batao jo papers taiyar karne ko kahe the woh kiye ya nhi?
Adi-woh ho gya hai aur tere liye ek good news hai...
Anubhav-kya?
Adi-tujhe woh das pehle wala case yaad hai, jisme kuch mil majdooron ne tujh par case kar diya tha...
Anubhav-use kaise bhool sakte hai uski wajah se...khair yeh batao hua kya, hamare upar se charge hate ya nhi?
Adi-hat gye aur jis aadmi ki wajah se woh accident hua woh aur koi nhi un logon ka leader hi tha jisne sare ilzaam tum par laga diye taki woh bach jaye aur isi bahane kuch paise tujhse mil jaye....par tu thaira imaandaar aadmi bechare ke sapne pure hone nhi diye....(he said smilingly).
Anubhav-agar us waqt hum case se bachane ke liye unhe paise de dete toh aaj Singh empire yahan tak nhi pahucha hota....Baba aur Bade Papa ki sari mehant par pani phir jata....
Adi-yeh toh tune sahi kaha, ab chhod yeh sab aur bata party kab de raha hai....(he asked, changing the topic).
Anubhav-aaj, batao kya khana hai..
Adi-khana nhi peena hai, aur tu bhi chal peene....
Anubhav-Adi...(sternly).
Adi-bhai mocktail ya juice pi lena...
Anubhav-kitni baar kaha hai chhod de yeh sab, acchi aadat nhi hai pina...
Adi-bhai kuch aadatein acchi ya buri hone ki wajah se nhi apanayi ya chhodi jati hai balki halat aur zaroorat bhi wajah ban jate hai..(he said with a smile).
Anubhav-accha bula ja woh sab aur yeh bata is baar kahan chalna hai...(he asked to divert his mind).
Adi-Haseena bhabhi ke ghar ke paas ek naya club khula hai woh chalte hai, naya hai isliye jyada bheed bhi nhi hogi aur tujhe koi pehchanega bhi nhi....
Anubhav-aur galati se Haseena ya unke parivaar mein se koi wahan aa gya toh hamari bani huyi izzat toh gyi...(tauntingly).
Adi-unke ghar mein koi drink nhi karta, Mohit bhai bhi nhi...isliye relax ho taiyar rehna shaam ko....
Anubhav-thik hai par is baar hum maa se nhi bachane wale tumhe....(he said smilingly).
Adi-sweetheart ko main sambhal lunga bas tu mat kuch bolna unse....
Anubhav- dekhte hai...
Adi-phir deal done rahi?
Anubhav-done....
Malik Mansion
"Aaj tum office nhi gyi kyu?" Nidhi asked Haseena on phone call.
Haseena-woh shopping par gye the isliye late ho gye aur phir itna thak gye the lehenge try karne mein ki wapas office jane ji himmat hi nhi huyi....
Nidhi-shopping woh bhi mere bina...(grumpily).
Haseena-sorry par Anubhav ji ke sath gye the...
Nidhi-oh ho (teasing) par lehenga kis liye?
Haseena-unke khandaan ka rule hai ki hone wali bahu ke liye shaadi ka joda unki taraf se bheja jata hai....
Nidhi-aur bata kya kya baatein huyi...(teasing).
Haseena-kuch nhi, tum kahi bahar ho kya?
Nidhi-haan ek wedding venue par hoon....
Haseena-okay phir baad mein baat karte hai tum kaam karo apna...
Nidhi-bye...
Haseena-bye....
She hung up the call and then got lost in her thoughts.
Haseena-hume toh ab tak vishwas nhi ho raha hai ki unhone hume forehead kiss kiya (happily) waise ho toh ek chhota sa lip kiss bhi gya par woh dono ke liye ek shock tha....waise bhi jab hamari first kiss jo hum dono ki marzi se hogi woh bahut special hogi....(she said blushing, wrapping Mr.HH in her arms).
Haseena-I love you Mr. Helping Hand (kissing it) aap jealous mat hona par ab aapse jyada pyar hum Anubhav se karte hai..apne Anubhav se (blushing) bas kuch din baad jo hamesha ke liye hamare ho jayenge aur hum unke.....(excited).
Lost in her own world, she falls asleep while talking to Mr. Helping Hand.
Two Days later
"Kya kar rahe ho, jaldi jaldi hath badho shaadi ka ghar hai...!" An old lady ordered some female staff members of Singh Mansion.
Maa-Bua maa aap aaram kariye hum hai na in sabke liye....
Bua ji- bahu tum bahut bholi ho janti nhi ho yeh log kitne kaamchor hai....
Maa-accha hum dekhte hai kya kaamchori kar rahi hai yeh sab, aap jakar jara pooja ka saman ek baar dekh lijiye....
Bua-thik hai par nazar rakhna in logon par....
Maa-ji bua maa....(smilingly).
Bua ji left from the kitchen.
Maa-hassshhh.....(maa went to her room).
Baba-kya hua Devaki?
Maa-abhi tak toh kuch nhi hua par ab hume dar lag raha hai....(tensed).
Baba-kis baat ke liye?
Maa-Haseena ke liye, aap jante hai Haseena ko aur bua maa ko bhi...yeh aag pani mile toh pata nhi kya hoga....(worried).
Baba-kuch nhi hoga, Haseena samjhdar hai woh sambhal legi aur baki hum sab uske sath hai hi toh chinta kis baat ki....(he said with a smile).
Maa-hmm...ab sab upar wale ke hath mein hai, ki shaadi se pehle bua maa galti se bhi Haseena se na mile aur mile toh dono jyada baatein na kare warna mera beta hamesha ke liye kunwaara rah jayega....(worriedly).
Baba-aap bhi na, kuch nhi hoga nischint rahiye....(he said, caressing maa's hair).
Maa-hmm...hey Durga maa raksh karna hamari....(she prayed).
