"Kehte hain Shadi ke baad sab kuch badal jatha hai"
Bala said.
"Kya inke beech kuch badla?"
Vandu asked.
Behind Vandu and Bala,
Mihika came with a huge suitcase
"Mai apne kapde kahan rakhoon?"
She asked putting the suitcase down.
"Kahan rakhoon matlab kya?
Excuse me! Kahin tum ye to nahi samajh rahi ke mai tumhare in sadi hui saadiyon keliye apna wardrobe khali karunga? For your kind information Ruhi ki IshiMaa, ye mera room hai aur ye mera wardrobe hai. So please sochna bhi math"
Mihir snapped at her and went away.
"Haww...Ravan Kumar!"
Mihika glared.
The stage was now set to recreate one of the fights in the initial days of their wedding.
The lights dimmed while Mihika was sleeping on a couch.
Mihir enetered and the lights brightened as if he had switched on the lights. He took the remote and acted like watching the TV.
Mihika woke up annoyed and went towards the corner of the stage, the lights dimmed and she walked back to couch. Mihir switched on the lights. Mihika switched off. He again switched on and then went off to attend a call.
Mihika took the remote and hid it under her pillow and slept on the couch.
Mihir came back saw it and stretched his hands to strangle her neck and said
"Jhansi ki Rani"
--------
"Kuch nahi badla inke beech! Jaise pehle ladte the waise hi ab bhi"
Vandu threw her hands in air.
"Ek cheez badla Vandu"
Said Bala.
"Kya?"
Vandu wondered.
"Unka naam!"
Bala enlightened.
"Haan! The Raman Kumar Bhalla bangaya RAVAN KUMAR"
Vandu remarked.
"Aur Dr.Ishita Iyer bani JHANSI KI RANI"
Bala said.
"Aise Ravan Kumar aur Jhansi Ki Rani se koi humsafar banne ki ummeed rakh sakta hai bhala?"
Vandu said.
"Humsafar banna to door ki baath hai inka to humkadam banne ka bhi koi irada nahi tha"
Bala rolled his eyes.
"Magar lagta hai jo upar Perfect Planner baitha hai uska koi aur hi irada tha. Isliye inki kahani me bahut saare twists aur turns paida hue"
"Aur in twists aur turns ke chalte ye donon humsafar to nahi, par haan humdard zarur ban gaye"
"Kadam se kadam milakar to nahi chale par dukh dard me ek doosre ka hath thaamne lag gaye"
"Ruhi ki DNA test, Param ka kaand, Ashok-Shagun ki sazishein aur sabse zyada Amma ka accident, Ye saare incidents inke liye bahut painful zarur the magar is imtihan ke beech inhe ek doosre ka sahara mil gaya"
"Jane anjane me Sirf Ruhi Keliye nahi Ek Doosre Keliye kuch karne lage"
"Dard ke lamhon me sar rakhne keliye ek kandha mil gaya"
"Jaise ke Rab ab in par meherban hogaya ho"
A song played in background as Raman and Ishita reminisced those moments that made them gradually change their stance towards the other.
Dil ki maangein, thodi thi kam
Har dua bhi, thodi mad-dham
Tune Kandhe pe sar jhukaya jab
Jaise dargah pe bandhe dhaage tab
Bina maange hi mil gaya hai sab
Meherbaan hua hua,
Meherbaan hua hua
Meherbaan hua, meherbaan hua Rab
Meherbaan hua, meherbaan hua Rab
Haathon ko tere apne
Haathon mein le leti hoon
Ki takdeerein apni saari padh loon
Aankhon mein tere chhupte, Armaan main dhoondta hoon
Bas tu soche, aur poore main kar doon
Abhi abhi toh hum adhoore the
Poore ho gaye, tere rubaroo
Ye bhi dekhe na, kahan main khatam, kahan tu shuru
Aankhein teri,
Girti hai jab
Ab toh neendein aati hai tab
Meherbaan hua hua,
Meherbaan hua hua
Meherbaan hua, meherbaan hua Rab
Meherbaan hua, meherbaan hua Rab
Ishita was in awe of the situation. It was amazing how her incomplete life had become complete. It was strange how she came to rely on a person whom she detested the most. She could not thank God enough. Involuntarily she said "Meherban hua Rab"
Raman was going through similar emotions. He was glad to have her in his life. He stole glances at her and a wide smile plastered his face when he saw her smiling. He could go to any extent to bring that smile on her face 'coz with her arrival in his life he actually felt "Meherban Hua Rab"
