Chapter 21
Dharam:Ye to pitaji ne rajkumar harsh ko diya tha
Veer:Kya?
Dharam:Haan..humme achchi tarah se yaad hai ki ye haar pitaji ne khaas taur par rajkumar harsh ke liye banvai thi
Veer:Yani ki rajkumar harsh yahan aya tha
Dharam:Par vo gaya kahan
suddenly veer gets an idea and rushes out of the tent
Dharam follows him..they go near the dead body of mahamantri
Veer:Dharam dekho isse teer se maara gaya hai...aur ye kaam itni bakhubi se sirf ek hi insaan kar sakta hai..rajKumar harsh
Dharam(realising sthng):Veer..kahin vo..
Veer understands the glare in dharam's eyes and says:Haan dharam..jis aadmi ko humne apna chehra dhake hue dekha vo hi rajkumar harsh hoga...aur ab tak bhaag bhi gaya hoga
Dharam:Behtar yahi hoga ki hum apne tamboo mein chalein...
They narrate the whole story to nivi and raksha...and later all of them go to bed..
In the morning..
The yatra was over...after the breakfast the pilgrims were to return back home
DV were inside the tent
Dharam:veer..tumhe kya lagta hai..ab humme wapas laut jana chahiye?
Veer:Haan..bilkul
Dharam:Par..humaara kaam to adhoora hi choot gaya?
Veer:Agar tum tabeez ki baat kar rahe ho to yaad dila doon ki mahamantri mar chuka hai aur mujhe nahi lagta ki abhi kuch dinon tak rajkumar harsh is tabeez ko dhoondhne ki koshish bhi karega....par agar tum nivi bhabhi ke saath shaadi ki baat kar rahe ho to haan vo kaam abhi bhi adhoora hi hai
Dharam:Veer...tum bhi na(blushes)
Veer:Sharma gaye..arrey wah mera bhai itna sharmata hai mujhe aaj pata chala..(laughs)
Dharam:Hummari baat chodo tum apni shaadi ki baat karo
Veer:Main raksha se shaadi nahi karoonga...waise bhi mujhe shaadi ki koi rasmein bhi to nahi aati
Dharam:Pehli baat humne raksha ka naam bhi nahi liya aur doosri baat ki hum abhi tumhe shaadi ki rasmein sikha dete hain..
Veer(teasingly):Tumhe ye sab kaise pata hai dharam bhaiiyaa..abhi tak to aapki bhi shaadi nahi hui
Dharam:Kyunki hum kain aur shaadiyon mein jaa chuke hain aur wahan jaakar hum in mantron aur rasmon par dhyaan dete hain..aur tum khaane par(laughs)..chalo ab thodi der ke liye samjho ki tum dulhan ho
Veer(interrupts):Isme samjhna kya hai..waise bhi main to tumhari sapna bahu hoon..
Dharam:Aur hum tumhare dulha..
and with that both DV enact the whole wedding ceremony..and when D was about to put sindoor On V suddenly Riti arrived
Riti:YE KYA HO RAHA HAI?...
Nivi and raksha wanted to have a stroll together so had gone to the nearby pond...
Raksha:Nivi ab hum wapas jaakar tumhari dharam bhaiya ke saath shaadi ki taiyaari karenge
Nivi:Aur tumhari shaadi ki bhi
Raksha:Kya..meri shaadi..kisse?
Nivi:Veer se
Raksha:Nivi..tum kabse aisi bachchon jaisi baatein karne lagi
Nivi:Isme koi bachpana nahi hai.
Raksha:Nivi ye sab mumkin nahi hai..aur ab main iske baare mein koi baat nahi sunna chahti..
with these final words she leaves back to her tent and nivi follows her silently
When both the girls reached near the tent they heard some noises from inside
Nivi:Ye kaun chilla raha hai
Raksha:Chilla raha nahi chilla rahi hai..riti
Both of them went in to find an enraged riti shouting at DV
RitI(TO DHARAM):AAP..AAP TO BADEIN HAIN..AAPNE BHI APNI BAHU KO NAHI ROKA..
Nivi:Kya hua riti ji aap itna chilla kyun rahin hain?
Riti:Achcha hua maaji ki aap aa gayin..dekhiye waise to main aapki koi apni nahi phir bhi keh deti hoon ki apni bahu ko zara samjha dijiyega..
Raksha:Par hua kya?
Riti:Mujhse to kuch kaha nahi jaayega..(to dharam)aap hi bata dena
and then she leaves the tent..
Nivi and raksha gave a questioning glance at DV..
Dharam(confused and guilty):Vo...pata nahi riti ji itna chillati kyun hain..
Nivi:Batao dharam hua kya tha?
Veer:Main batata hoon ki kya hua..
Dharam ne mujhse kaha ki vo nahi jaanta ki nivi bhabhi se shaadi ke baad kaisi baatein karein..to bas main usse yahi sab samjha raha tha,phir usne mere lakh mana karne par bhi mujhe nivi bhabhi banakar shaadi ki rasmein seekhi..aur jaise hi vo mujhe sindoor lagane laga ki riti aa gayin
Dharam:Ye jhoot bol raha hai..darasal hum nahi ye chahta tha..
But then a messenger arrived and gave dharam a message from nivi's father
Nivi:Kya likha hai pitaji ne?
Dharam:Wo humme wapas avadhi bula rahe hain
Raksha:Par tabeez ka kya hoga?
Dharam:Maharaj keh rahein hai ki ve apne sainikon ko is kaam mein laga denge..ab hum sabko apne-apne mahal wapas jana hoga...
Nivi:Dharam..kya humme sach mein wapas jaana hoga?
Dharam:Haan..par itni dukhi kyun ho tum?
Nivi:Humme kahin nahin jaana..hum tumhare saath hi rehna chahte hain..
Veer:Kuch dino ke baad to aap humare mahal aane hi wali hain..
Raksha had left the tent silently and veer noticed this..while D and nivi were busy with thir convo. veer went behind raksha
Veer:To kya is gussail ko rona bhi aata hai
Raksha:Main roti nahin hoon..
Veer:Achcha...
Raksha:Haan..rote to sirf kamzor hain..(trying hard to control her tears)
Veer:Achcha(teasingly)..raksha ye tumhare liye..
with that he takes out an ill-embroidered piece of handkerchief
Raksha:Ye..kya hai
Veer:Dhyaan se dekho
raksha takes the handkerchief from veer and read it...
it said"gussail"
Raksha(smiled):Shukriya..par main bhi tumhe kuch dena chahti hoon..
In the tent
Dharam takes out the kada in which he had once entangled nivi's chunni
Dharam:Ye aapke liye
Nivi:Tum hi pehna do
He holds her soft wrist..they were trembling...why was she scared of his touch..he looked at her and her eyes gleamed with lurity and innocence of love..he realised that the trembling of her hand were out of shyness..she had never thought to be this close to him ..neither had he
Nivi wanted to tell him how much she cared for him..his mere touch brought a sense of security in her..she felt so confused..didnt know how to react..wanted to hug him but was too shy to do that..wanted to talk to him but was running out of words...wanted to look at him but the feeling that he was staring at her stopped her to do even that..at last she just smiled without even glancing at him...
Dharam:Lo pehna diya..
She stopped trembling but was still unable to speak so she gave him a glance of gratitude and smiled
Outside the tent
Raksha gives him a bowl of karele ki sabzi
Veer:KARELA!!
Raksha(smiles):Haan...yaad hai ek baar tumne mujhe chandan ka lep diya tha jisse mera gussa shant ho jaye..to aaj main tumhe ye sbzi deti hoo..isse khane se tumhara dimaag zyada kaam karega aur tum doosron ki khushi ke liye koi daud nahi haaroge..
Veer(smiles with an astonished face):Tumhe pata tha
Raksha:Itna to jaanti hoon apne akdoo ko
and then both of them gave each other a tight warm and loving hug..
After sometime DV and nivi-raksha began their return journey..
As the maharaj of awadhi had provided them with horses and palanquins it was easier and faster for them to travel back..
In the way they changed their dress ups...to their normal selves and reached awadhi by the evening..
In the palace..DV told the whole truth about rajkumar harsh and mahamantri..
MS:Hum jaante the ki aap sab theek kar hi denge.waise bhi us rajkumar harsh se hum apni beti ki shaadi nahi kar sakte the..vo humaari nivedita se shaadi kar humse tabeez ka pata janana chahta tha
Dharam:Aapko kisne bataya?
MS:Charusena ji ne
Veer:Kya?Par unko kaise pata chala...
MS:Vo sab aap aryanagar jaakar unhi se pooch lijiyega...aap log aaj raat yahin ruk jaiye..kal subah maharaj AV se milne humme bhi to jana hai
DV:Pitaji se milne?
MS(smiles):Haan..rajkumar dharam aur nivedita ki shaadi ki baat jo pakki karni hai...
