Dia leaves………..

 

 

 

The mehendi rasam continues…………

 

 

 

The girls apply mehendi on their hands happily…………

 

In night……….

 

 

Bhumi is standing on her terrace…………..and looking at her mehendi……and blushin

 

 

B: main bhi dekhti hoon ki tum apna naam iss mehendi main kaise dhoondhte ho!!(smiles)

 

 

Just then she hears some voices and turns back to look

 

 

It was Arjun who came in…………and smiles at her……..

 

 

B: (rushing to him) Arjun!! Tum yahan? Iss waqt kyun aaye ho?

 

 

A: bhavri kitni baar kaha hai aise silly sawaal mat poocha karo

 

 

B: silly?

 

 

A: nahi to kya! Main yahan kya itni raat kisse milne aaoonga………tumse hi

 

 

B: haan…….par jaroorat kyat hi…….abhi milne aane ki

 

 

A: jaroorat? Ab tumse milne ke liye jaroorat chahiye ……..hmm

 

 

B: nahi par kal shaadi hai……phir aaj yahan kis liye

 

 

A: arre iss liye to bhavri……maine socha tumse aakar mil loon…….mujhse kal tak ka intezaar nahi hota

 

 

B: (blushes) kal tak ka bhi intezaar nahi hota

 

 

A: (smiles) nahi………(comes near her)

 

 

B: (stops him……keeps her hand on his chest to stop him) nahi…..par intezaar to karna padega kal tak……..

 

 

A: arre bhavri……..tum……bhi…….(stops)

 

 

Just then his attention goes to her mehendi

 

 

A: (picks up her hands……looking them) arre bhavri…….tumhari mehendi to bahut achchi banni hai……its really beautiful……..

 

 

B: (takes away her hands) hmm……aaj nahi….iss mehendi ko kal hi dekhna….

 

 

 

A: kyun?

 

 

B: kyunki…….kal iss mehendi ko dekhkar tumhe issme se apna naam ya phir tumhare naam ka pehla akshar dhoondhna hoga

 

 

A: to aaj hi kar dete hai…….why wait till tomorrow

 

 

B: kyunki kal raat humari…….(stops and blushes)

 

 

He looks at her blushing……..and nears her…..

 

 

A: kal raat humari……..kya…..hmm……(still nearing her)

 

 

Bhumi keeps going back…….looking lost in his eyes…….

 

 

Just then she hits a  wall………and stops as she could move back no further….

 

 

But arjun keeps nearing her…….and comes close very near to her and smiles at her……..

 

 

He slowly takes her palms and looks at her mehendi……..and places kisses on her palms…….

 

 

A: bhavri kal raat ko kya

 

 

B: er…..kal raat humari shaadi ho chuki hogi……..ye mehendi dekhne ki rasam shaadi ke baad hoti hai

 

 

A: achcha to iska matlab shaadi se pehle main nahi dekh sakta

 

 

B: nahi…….(pulling out her hands from his hands)

 

 

A: bhavri ki bachhi aise bol naa…….ke mehendi dikhana nahi chahti…..kyunki u know that I am gonna anyways win…….

 

 

B: jee nahi mujhe pura yakeen hai……..iss mehendi main tum apna naam nahi dhoond paaoge……kyunki…..bahut mushkil

 

 

A: humare liye  kuch bhi mushkil nahi hai……..lets see…….

 

 

B: theek hai……

 

 

A: agar aaj hi dhoond ke dikha doon to

 

 

B: par yahan……raat ho chuki hai……aur itni roshni bhi nahi hai

 

 

Arjun agrees and looks around…….

 

 

A: wahan(points to a place)

 

 

There was this small corner……..where this bulb was switched on……

 

 

They go the small corner and get themselves seated

 

 

B: main phir keh deti mushkil hoga…….aur agar tum haar gaye……to jurmana bhi hoga

 

 

A: in that case if I win………I should get a prize……

 

 

B: theek hai…….

 

 

A: jo mangoonga milega……..i can ask for anything…….

 

 

 

Bhumi remembers their kiss………then makes up her mind…….that no matter whatever he asks for……she wont step

back now

 

 

B: pehle apna akshar dhoond ke batao……..

 

 

A: yahan……nahi yahan(looking at the mehendi)

 

 

B: arjun mushkil hai……

 

 

 

A: will u shut up……..so that I can concentrate

 

 

B: ye…..iss tara mat baat karo…..warna I will shout……aur shefali di yahan aa jayengi

 

 

A: (looking very concentretedly at her mehendi) hmm nahi aayegi…….

 

 

B: to manasvi di aayegi

 

 

A: who bhi nahi(still immersed in her mehendi)

 

 

B: kyun nahi aayengi

 

 

A: (looks  at her smilingly) kyunki bahvri……..aaj main hi sirf tumse milne nahi aaya hoon……iss ghar ke saare hone wale damaad filhaal iss ghar main hi maujood hai…….

 

 

B: (surprised) kya……yani…….suraj bhaiyya aur yuv bhi

 

 

A: (immersed in her mehendi) hmm…….

 

 

 

In suraj and mansvi's room……….

 

 

They are standing near the window……….the moonlight is splashed across the room and on mansvi's face…….

 

 

Suraj keeps looking at her……..

 

 

Mv: suraj aise kya dekh rahe ho……..

 

Su: (smiles) main…….kamre ko……

 

 

Mv: huh?

 

 

Su: nahi…….obviosly tumhe dekh raha hoon……tum iss chand ki dheemi roshni main aur bhi khoobsurat lagti ho

Su: waise…….mansvi apni mehendi batao

 

 

He looks at her mehendi

 

 

Su: mansvi…….very beautifull…….

 

 

Mv: jaante ho suraj………kehte hain ke……agar mehendi ka rang pakka aaye naa…….i mean agar mehendi ka rang dark ho then that meand that ur to-be husband will love u every much

Mv: nahi I didn't mean it that way

 

 

Su: even if the colour wasn't that dark…….i would love you as much as I do now……I would love u more than anything else …………

Suraj………just kisses her hands……..

 

 

Su: mansvi kal humari shaadi ho jaayegi…….

 

 

Mv: hmm

 

 

Su: phir tum meri ho jaaogi…..sirf meri…….(comes close to her)

 

 

MAnsvi places her head on his chest………..

 

 

 

Mv: suraj mujhe bhi usii pal ka intezzar hai

 

 

Suraj just kisses her head……..and holds her tightly……..

 

 

Mv: suraj……..koi aa jaayega……

 

 

Su: kaun…….

 

 

Mv: koi bhi papa…...bhumi shefali

 

 

Su: uncle ka to mujhe nahi pata……..par bhumi aur shefali nahi aayenge

He just climbs down the pipe and leaves from there……….

 

 

After sometime……..bhumi is still standing there in the terrace remembering just what happened between her and him…..

 

 

Just then she sees that…….suraj too climbs the wall and goes back to his house........then yuv too

She returns back to her room……….
