Avni's Room
Mere Rang mae Rangne waali
Pari ho ya ho pariyon ke rani
Avni picked up her phone which was ringing....
A(crying)- hello!
Dadi- hello Avni! Avni beta! Bache tuh ro rhi hai kya?! Sab teekh toh hai na? Kisi ne waha kuch bol dia hai kya? Bata mjhe kya hua hai? Tuh ro kyu rahi hai?
(Hello Avni! My child! You are alright na? You seem to be crying? Has anyone told you something? Tell me? Why are you crying?)
A(mumbling, sniffing)- dadi mjhe aadat daal leni chahiye thi na apni pasnd ki cheezon ke bagair rhne ki... Toh phr kyu har baar yh kambhakt dil us bepanah ishq ki chaah karta hai joh uske naseeb ka hi nhi hai! Kyu yh dil ab bhi usse chahta hai... jiske dil ki giraftaari phle se hi ho chuki hai.. kyu nhi smjha pa rhi mai apne is dil ko ki mere naseeb apni muhabbat paana nhi hai.. khushiyan nhi hai !
(I should be habituated na dadi, to libe without things that I can like? Then why is this idiot heart still wanted the same person and that same love? Why does my heart even today beat for a man who's heart has already been captured by someone else.... that i dont have my love in my fate..m nor do I have happiness!!)
D(teary)- yh tuh kya bol rhi hai? Ab tak nhi bhula pa rhi hai tuh Neil ko? Aise kaise chalega Avni ! Tum yh sab krke kitni takleef de rhi ho, mjhe bhi aur apne aap ko bhi ! Tmhe ehsas bhi nhi ho rha ki...
(What are you saying? Haven't you forgotten Neil till now? How will things go on Avni, If you do this way? You troubling both me and yourself!)
A(interupting)- toh kya ab apne dil ki baat aapse bayan krne se aapko pareshan krti hn mai? Maaf krdijiye aap mjhe.. mai phone rkhti hn...
(So now can I not even share the state of my mind with you? Pardo me... i am cutting the call...)
D- arrey lekin Avni, meri baat toh suno... bache mera woh mtlb thodi tha....
(But Avn, atleast listen ti me child... I did'nt mean what you feel...)
Avni disconnected the call and having a nice shower she went to the dining table, she marched outside the house into the garden... where she saw Neil standing with his arms folded... He stood beside the fountain numb and still...
G- Neil
She called out softly...
He turned around to her call and she rushed into his arms, Neil closed his arms and locked her tightly in them... Tears flowed down from both their eyes....
Avni who was sniffing began speaking but Neil kept his finger on her lips.
N- kuch mat bolo abhi! Kch der yuhn hi rhne do... sukoon milta hai...
(No need to say anything right now... pls stay this way for sometime... It feels good...)
And after some time breaking the hug they looked into each others eyes... and both could find tears, which was there due to and for each other...
A- neil... humein maaf krdijiye! Kal hmne aapse bohot zyada batameezi ki thi! Humein pta nhi kya hogya tha lekin humara dimaag kharab hogya tha ! Hum khud ke kaabu mae hi nhi the... pta nhi kyu aise apna aapa kho dia aur aap par gussa nikaala.... aapko itna zyada suna dia... Aur aapne.. aapne humein roka tak nhi? Us hi samay humein rok dete... thappad laga dete aap humein!
(Neil I am sorry... I really am! I do regret the way I behaved with you... I dont really know what had happened to me... Idk why I had lost myself that way! I told you what not and.. you... you didnt even utter a word... why.. why didnt you stop me that very moment? You could have stopped me na? Slapped me?!)
N- chup! Ek alfaz ab aur tmhare muhn se naah nikle... thappad maarne ko bol rhi ho? Yh haq kisi ka bhi nhi hai ki woh meri bawli par haath uthaye! Haath tod dunga mai uska! Aur rhi baat kal ki! Mera bhi dimaag kharab hogya tha jo rishta dhundne lga tere liye... yh toh bhul hi gya ki hm sirf dost hai....
(Shut up! Dare if you utter anything more... you are asking me to slap you? No body has got this right to slap my bawli! If anyone even tries I'll break his hands... And as far as all the happenings of yesterday night are concerned.. I am equally responsible... dont know why I forgot that we are just friends)
Avni nodded her head negatively...
Avni mai tmhare zindagi mae faaltu dakhal andazi kr rha tha... mjhse glti hogyi... tuh mjhse pls khafa na ho... jo saza deni hai de le! Galti teri nhi meri hai.. barha yahan par mai hn.... mjhe smjhna chahiye tha aur tjhe pyar se smjhana chahiye tha... lekin nhi mai bhi apne alag bachpane mae aagay tha....
(Avni I never wished to intrude in your life... I have comitted a mistake... pls dont remain angry with me.. I cannot bear it! You give me any punishment you want.. Here I am at fault amd not you... I am the elder one and I should have understood... but no instead I began a different kiddishness of my own only!)
A- waada! Neil waada kijiye aap hmse ki aap aaj ke baad hmse us Ali ki baatein nhi krenge!
(Promise! Neil promise me that you will never talk of Rudy before me ever..)
N- mai toh smjh hi nhi parha ki tjhe Ali mai kya khaami nazar aagyi hai... kitna acha ladka h woh....
(I am not being able to understand... that why dont you like Rudy... sucha a nice and flawless guy he is..)
A(to herself)- khaami Ali mae nhi is chirraiya ke dil mae hai... jo kisi aur ki amanath ko chahta h.. Hum Ali se shaadi krke unki zindagi bigaad de kya?! Ali ke chehra par hmne masoomiyat dekhi hai apne liye pyar dekha hai.. hum unhe thukra kar sirf unka dil todenge lekin unme ek umeed bharhkar unse muhn mod lenge toh hum unhe hi tod denge.. hum woh hi kar baithenge jo Neil ne humare saath kia.. hum nhi chahte ki is dard.. aur takleef se koi aur guzre... khaas kar Ali jaisa ek zinda dil insaan! Hum unse isliey na dosti ka rishta rkhenge na koi naata wrna ek aur insaan bikhar jayega.. hum bas yahin chahte hai ki usse qismat mae koi bohot achi ladki mille... koi aisi jo uski zindagi ko khushiyon se bhar de... usse uski bepanah muhabbat de..
(The flaw doent lie in Ali, it lies in the heart of this girl... that has fallen for something that belongs to someone else... should I marry rudra and break him, destroy his life as well? I have seen innocence and love in ali's eyes for me.. denying him for this relarionship will only break his heart... but once if I accept this relationship and later back off instilling hopes in him it will break him completely.... The same thing that is happening to me will happen to him... I dont wish anyone else going through the same pain as I am... especially a lively man like rudra, who can make anyone smile.... I will not keep any relationship with him.. not even that of friendship otherwise another person will be seen scattering.... I just wish that he gets somone in his life who will love him unconditionally and keep him happy forever...)
N- yh kya barbaraye ja rhi ho Avni? Sab teekh h na?!
(What are you mumbling? Everythings alright?)
A- ji.. woh humm..
(Yes.. that ... I....)
N- aao chalo...
(Come now with me..)
And holding her gands tight in her fists he took her in... and both settled down on the table...
And he served some sandwiches in the plate in front him... he dipped into sauce and put it into her mouth lovingly...
Avni looking deep into his eyes took a bit of it...
N- pta hai tjhe... jab tuh naraz thi toh yuhn laga ki zindagi hi khatam ho gyi... ki zindagi mae aur kuch hai hi nhi...
(To himself)- lekin ab bhi mai dil se yahin chahunga ki kisi tarah tmhari baat Ali se pakki ho jaye... bht hi acha insaan hai woh.. aur tumhare pure pure laayak bhi...
(You know what.. whenever you are nagry with me I feel as if my life finishes off that very moment... i feel as if theirs nothing left in life...
(To himself)- But even now I want ali to get married to you... he is a very nice guy and completely apt for you... He is made for you and will keep you happy forever...)
A- hum samjh skte hai kyuki hunare liye bhi raat guzarna bohot mushkil thi... aapse yuhn larai krke... humara toh man kr rha tha ki hm raat hi mae àapse sulla krle.. lekin phr socha ki aap so gye honge...
(I can understand your feelings.. It was really tough for me to spend the night this way after our fight... I was wishing to sort out everything yesterday itself but then I felt that you nust have slept...)
N- kaise sota? Tjhse jhgde ke baat aankh lgi hi nhi ! Agar jaagi thi toh raat mae hi kyu nhi aagyi?
(How could I have slept? After our fight I couldnt doze off... if you were awake then why didnt yiu come at night itself.... )
A- aap shayad bhool rhe ki ab aap shaadi shuda hai aur hum aapke room mae itni raat ko nhi aakte hai....
(I guess you are forgetting that now you are married.... and how could I have come into your room that late...)
Neil kept quite on realising what had he just told her...
It was then when Juhi entered..
J- Good Morning Neil!! Sorry aaj zara late hogyi mai? Yh kya aapne breakfast shury bhi kr dia..
(Good Morning Neil!! Sorry Today I am a bit late in getting up.... what is this you began breakfast without me?)
And she saw how both were having in one plate...
J- ohh! Aapne isse maaf krdiya hai? Aap bhalle hi isse maaf krde lekin mai kbhi bhi isse maaf nhi kr paungi... zindagi bhar nhi bhulla paungi ki isne aapko kaise beizzat kia tha...
(Ohh now I get it! You have forgiven her... though you might have forgiven her but I will never... I will never forget how she had insulted you!!)
N- Juhi..
(Juhi...)
J- Mai ja rhi hn....
(I am going...)
And she returned back into the room with the door banging loudly at her back...
A(teary)- jiji toh bohot zyada naraz hogyi hai.. na jaane maanengi bhi ya nhi...
(Jiji is so angry with me!! Idk whether she will talk me now or not!)
N- aao chalo uske paas...
(Come lets go to her...)
And both of them entered the room
N- Juhi woh!
(Juhi... that..!)
I- kya woh?! Kal smjhaya tha na ki isse ab aap baat nhi krenge! Aapki pyar muhabbat ke badle isne kya dia batameezi? Arrey kuch lihaaz hai bhi ya nhi barhe chote ki...
(What? I had told you yesterday only na.. that you will not talk to her anymore! What has she given you in return of your love and concern, insult? she does have some sense of respect for elders left in her...)
N- Dosti umar nhi dekhti hai Juhi! Aur insaan chahe jitna bhi barha ho.. galtiyan sbse hoti hai.. har kisi se... mai yh nhi keh rha ki bawli bilkul sahi hai lekin...
(Friendship never sees age Juhi! And whatever age group the person might belong, but everyone commits mistakes.. I am not saying that whatever she did is correct but... )
J- saaf saaf keh dijiye ki aap yahan iski taraf daari krne aaye aur Avni ko mjhse maafi dilwana chahte hai? Bohot khoob smjhti hn mai aapko! kal tak ro ro kar aankhein sujhai hui thi iske liye na?! Lekin isse kya farak pdhta hai isse toh humare emotions humari feelings ki koi qadar hi nhi hai... hum Ali se iska rishta krwakr isske saath koi zyaagti thodi kar rhe the... humne toh sirf isse kahan tha ki woh humari nazar mae ek acha ladka hai.. lekin yh hai ki junooniyat mae aagyi...
(Why dont you tell me clearly that you are here just to prove her right! You want me to forgive her? I understand you very well! Yesterday night you had swollen your eyes crying for this girl, but does she care? Do our emotions matter? By wishing her alliance with Ali... were we torturing her?! We had just told her that we have Ali in our head for her alliance... and that he is a good guy... but god knows why she over reacted like anything!)
N- woh ishq hi kya jisme junoon na ho...
Woh bandhan hi kya jisme jhagde na ho...
jahan pyar hai wahan jhagde hai.. isliey ab tum dono behne mere waaste sula karlo...
(What is love without obssession?
What is a relationship without fights? Now pls both of you stop all this and sort everything out... for me?)
A(teary)- jiji humein pls maaf krdijiye.. hum ainda aisa nhi krenge... aap apni chutki ko maaf nhi krengi kya? Mere aur hai hi kaun duniya mae aur ab agar aap bhi khafa rehne lagi toh kahan jaungi mai? Kaun hoga mera?
(Jiji I am really sorry! I'll not do that again! Wont you talk to your chutki anymore? Who else do I have in this world? If you also becone angry with me, who will be left for me?)
J(teary)- khafa toh mai bhi nhi reh sakti tujhse! Lekin tuh kaam hi aise bawalon waale krti hai.. teekh hi naam dia hai Neil ne tumhe... bawli!!
(I can never stay angry at you! But you always act like bawli... Neil has given a really approriate name to you... bawlli!!)
And she hugged her tight...
N- tum dono saath mae pyaar krti hui achi lagti ho ek dusre ke... ladte jhagadte nhi... aur tum dono ke hi aankhon mae aansu bardasht nhi kr paata mai.. isleiy ab yh drama yahin khatam karo.. raat bhar ki neend kharab hogyi sabki aur ghar ka mahol bhi kharab hogya...
(Both of you look good loving each other and not quarelling... and I cannot tolerate tears in both of your eyes... so now pls stop this drama... no ome could sleep properly last night and evryones mood is also off cauz of it..)
J/A(wiping each others tears)- jii..
(Yes..)
................................
Some months later....
Avni- pata hai tumhe meri jaan tum kitne zyada pyaare ho? Bilkul jiji par gye ho.. aur haan thode thode apni is mausi par bhi!! Tmhari yeh aankhein.. inki chamak... mera jii toh chahta hai ki tumhe kha jau maii!!
(Do you know my dear, you are so cute? Just like my jiji... and yes some what like your mausi (aunt) too.. your eyes.. the way they are sparkling.. I wish to just eat you up!!)
Neil- aarey nhi bhai mere pyare se bete ko khaane ke plans bana rhi ho tum😒😒
(Areey no na.. you are makinh plans of eating up my cute little son...)
Suddenly entering...
J- aur nhi toh kya?!
(Yes why?)
She also appeared at the door...
Both climbed the bed and sat beside a cute little baby boy and Avni....
J- iski aankhein Neil! Bilkul aapki tarah hai!
(His eyes Neil! They are just like you!)
N- lekin beta toh yh tumhara hi hai... tum hi humesha se chahti thi ki humari jholli bhagwan ek bete se bhar de...
(But he is surely your son! It was you who always wanted a son from God..)
J- mtlb aap isse pyaar nhi denge?
(So wont you love him?)
N- nhi bilkul nhi isse bhi bohot pyar krta hn... aur pta hai kya... mjhe lgta hai ki isse mai tumse bhi zyada pyaar krta hn...
(No no.. I love him.. that too alot.. and I think I love him somewhat more than I love you...)
J- hum bhi... mera toh dil hi nhi krta ki mai apni aankhein iske upar se hatau... itna pyaara hai...
(Me too... I dont wish to take my eyes off him... he is so cute!!)
N(concerned)- baar baar mat bolo nazar lag jayegi humari khushiyon ko!
(Dont keep on ranting the same thing... Our happiness will get eyed..)
Avni got up and left... she was not noticed by Neil and Juhi who were busy in there talks...
J- bhalla maa ki nazar kabhi lag sakti hai apne bache ko....
(Have you ever heard a child being eyed by his mom!!)
(Dunno what will this be in english😅😅)
