DEEWANGIWords: 5943

AFTER 1 MONTH-

After that conversation with Nina, Ishu went to sameer next morning and said yes to the marriage. sameer was the happiest and samar was happy for his ishu. But it was also sad.

Nina was going crazy but controlled herself. Rajat decided to marry Ishu within a month. He said that he needs to shift to another location for his project and it might take around 1.6 years. sameer decided it was for the betterment as Alay and Kabir were not home to stop the marriage.

Today was Ishu's haldi ceremony.

Vani- Aunty ghar me itni decorations kyu kar rahe ho?

Maid- betaji apke Ishu bhaiya ki haldi hai na aaj isliye.

Vani- ( haldi? Lekin yeh kab hua? Baba Or bhaiyu yahan nahi hai. Bhaiyu kitna pyaar karte hai bhai se. Maa ko batana hoga. I was searching for him when I saw mami coming toward the kitchen)

Mami, maa ko dekha hai kya?

Nina- ( she looked like she would cry.)

Baby what's wrong? Kisine kuch kaha hai?

Vani- bhai ki haldi kaise kar sakte ho aplog. Hame bataya nahi? Baba and bhaiyu nahi hai yahan mami.

Mami please rokdo yeh. Bhaiyu loves bhai alot. He will be hurt.

Nina- Tumhe pata hai?

Vani- haan, aapko pata hai?

Nina- vani, tumhare mamu ne mujhe majboor kiya hai isliye me nahi bata sakti un dono ko.

Tumhari maa or mamu nahi chahte ki Alay or ishu ki shaadi ho. Please call karo apne baba ko and tell him everything. And dont let your maa and mamu find out that I told you this.

Vani- Mamu ne kya kaha hai apse mami. Ap itna dar kyu rahi ho?

Nina- He said he will harm himself.

Vani- What? Is he in his right mind? I am sorry for my language.

Nina- it's ok. Now go to your room and do it.

ON THE OTHER SIDE-

Kabir- hello, kabse? Nazar rakho I will be there.

( I packed my bags and went towards Alay's room.)

Alay- kya baat hai baba, aap itni raat ko yahan?

Kabir- We are going home now. Pack your stuff.

Alay- Lekin we have flight after 5 days. As the work is still pending.

Kabir- Agar do din or ruke toh Ishu ko kho doge.

Alay- Kya matlab? Kya hua hai ishu ko baba?

Kabir- Uski haldi ho rahi hai.

Alay- ( I was not able to move)

Kabir- ( mera bachha roya hai sameer. I won't spare you. )

Baba ki jaan, dekho yahan. Me uski shaadi nahi hone dunga. Ok.

Alay- Me bohot pyaar karta hu baba. I cannot let him go. Please baba. Help me.

Kabir- I will beta. Pack your stuff. Come on hurry.

( his hands were trembling and he kept wiping his tears. I booked a private jet as there was no flight till 2 days. )

Let's go, till we reach airport the jet will be ready. Himmat rakho Alay.

Alay- ( I tried calling him but he didn't answer. Itne dino se mujhse yeh sab chupa rahe ho aap. Meri feelings or bharose ka yeh natija mila hai mujhe.

I packed all my stuff and went down towards the reception. Baba was clearing the bills and I was getting impatient. )

Kabir- Lets go.

( we were inside the car and on our way to the airport. He was lost and the smile he had earlier was not there. Mere bete ka dil dukhaya hai sabne. samar ne mujhe batana tak zaruri nahi samjha.

I heard my phone ring and it was Vani)

Hello, beta. Aap fikar mat karo hum airport jaa rahe hai. Ethan ne bataya hai mujhe. Apko kab pata chala? Hmm, aap fikar mat karo. Don't tell anyone that we are coming. Act normal and keep on updating me.

Alay- Kya kaha usne baba?

Kabir- tumhari maa ko pata hai. Nina ne vani se kaha hume inform karne. Nina ne hamare New York aane se pehle sameer se baat ki thi, because she knew you love her son.

sameer nahi mana. Usne mujhe kaha tumhe ishaan se dur rakhne ko. Par mujhe nahi pata tha woh mere piche yeh sab karega. I told him, ki agar tum dono me se koi bhi mere pass aya toh I will help you guys.

Alay- baba, am I really late to ask for help?

Kabir- nahi. I will take you there on time. I promise you, whatever you decide I will help you in that.

Alay- ( I hugged him tightly)

Mujhe ishu se bohot pyaar hai baba. Woh aisa kaise kar sakte hai.

Kabir- ( you will pay for this sameer. I will make you regret this)

ON THE SIDE-

nina- vani, tumne bata diya?

Vani- Haan mami. Woh dono airport jaa rahe hai. Ethan uncle ne already sab bata diya hai unko.

Samar- Aap dono yahan kya kar rahe ho?

Vani- Mujhe bhuk lagi hai maa. Mami se khana maang rahi hu. Aap dikhe nahi mujhe.

Samar- Mera baby bhuka hai? Chalo me khila deta hu. Bhabhi aap..

Nina- jao baby, aap khalo.

Samar- (she just went from there without answering. )

Vani- Chalo na maa.

( apne sahi nahi kiya hai maa. Apko mamu ka sath nahi dena chahiye tha.)

INSIDE ISHU'S ROOM-

Ishu- ( I saw myself in the mirror and I looked good. But the smile was missing. I am not happy with dad's decision of hiding this.

Rajat has been treating me good. His dad loves me as well. They treat me with love and respect. He looks the ideal partner. )

Samar- Ishu, ready ho?

Ishu- Haan, sammy mujhe achha nahi lagra hai yeh sab chupana.

Samar- jaanta hu. Achha toh mujhe bhi nahi lagra hai. Par bhai yeh chahte hai.

Chalo ab.

Ishu- ( sammy took me to the backyard. I was greeted by a few guests. mom wasn't happy and she clearly showed that to us. Though she was acting in front of the guests but we knew otherwise.

Dad was the happiest. He told everyone that Alay and bade papa are on a business trip and will be back by the wedding. )

Sameer-mera bachha.

( I kissed his head)

Nina let's start the ceremony.

Nina- samar Kabir bhai ka husband hai and is naate rishte me woh bada lagta hai. Toh pehle woh karega.

Sameer- ( she is doing this on purpose.)

Sahi kaha. Samar tum karlo pehle. Or ishu sabse zyada tumse close hai.

Samar- Ji bhai.

( I started the ritual and then one by one a few guests did it.)

The function was in full swing as the guests were enjoying themselves. sameer was busy in meet and greet. Vani was just looking at everything from afar and Nina was standing a bit away from everyone. samar tried to talk to her but she just ignored him.

On the other side, Alay was getting impatient. Kabir kept looking at his son and was getting angry with each passing second.
