Shabd arranged for a party in a club inviting all his colleagues and employees on occasion of inauguration of his new designing clothes. Mahi felt excited to see his new designs. She is still in first year and learning best practices in apparel manufacturing coupled with understanding and application of Information Technology. She wants to know how Shabd's company is working on latest designing and the latest technologies. She asked Shabd many times to take to his company but Shabd always postponed taking her into his manufacturing unit. Though this is just a place to display his latest designs Mahi excited to get to see first before it comes into market. She can tell about this to his co-students next day in the college. She is more excited for that thought.
She wore a white cotton sari with light pearl beads covered under gold cage design around each pearl and matching ear hangings touching the shoulders. Shabd wanted to tell her to change into western clothes but he knew that Mahi loves Indian saris and likes to do specialization in Indian Sari designing.
She draws in her leisure time different designs along with possible color matching to the designs and saris. Shabd is more interested in western clothes, jeans and shows less interest on Mahi's designing though he never discouraged her.
Shabd introduced Mahi to everyone and asked her to inaugurate the show. Everyone liked the designs and commented on their individual favourite designs. Mahi keenly observed the material used in the designing the cloth, the button style and each and every technology they used to present the dress to the public. Shabd is impressed by her knowledge in understanding the technology than the appearance of the style.
After watching all designs, everyone headed to have dance along with drinks. Mahi refused politely to have drinks and settled in a corner. She liked watching all the guests rather dancing along with them. Some of Shabd's female colleagues requested him to dance with them and he honored the requests. Mahi praised his dancing skills and felt embarrassed when the ladies took a little over closeness. She applauded after he finished his dance.
Shabd asked Mahi to join him for dance and she refused as she doesn't know how to dance. Shabd offered to teach her and Mahi got up as no option.
Shabd put her left hand on his right shoulder, right hand in his left hand and he put his right hand around her waist. She shivered for touching him and his warm touch on her waist. A slight vibration passed from toe to head through her spine. She swallowed and he does too. He showed how to take initial steps staring deep into her eyes.
"Bus yeh kartey raho slowly seekh jaaogi." He stared into her eyes and Mahi lowered her eyes with shy. He pressed her waist to make her lift her eyes to him but she lowered again with shy as she noticed passion in his eyes. He tightened the grip and squeezed her fingers.
"Itna sharamili kyon ho, main sirf tumhara pati hoon. Iss dance mein ek dooserey ke aankon mein aaankh daal kar dekhna padta hai, sar jhukakar nahin." He whispered in her ears while taking small steps. Mahi became red with shy, anger, embarrassment. His touch giving her vibrations and breath heavy. Shabd's warm breath is touching her bare neck, face.
She is afraid if she falls for him. "Abb padhayi ke pehley aisi soch bhi mann mein mat lana" she scolded herself in mind and slowly moved away from him.
Shabd disappointedly looked at her way but felt happy for bringing feelings in her "So, she has feelings, bus aur kuch intezaar karna padega. I have to deal with her slowly."
Mahi got bored soon and headed home in her car. Shabd searched for her after a few minutes and called her on cell. "Mahi! Kahan ho? How could you go without telling me? I was worried here."
Kripa offended "Sorry Shabd! I was getting bored. And I have a test tomorrow."
Shabd sighed under breath as he can never force her for anything "kabb tum mujhey samjhogi, Mahi!!?"
He spent couple more hours till everyone left the place and headed home. He saw Mahi changed into night pajamas and is sleeping with her book in hand. She is shivering whenever cold breeze touching her but she was in deep sleep. Shabd stared at her for a while to admire her beauty and covered her with soft silky red blanket and kissed her forehead without touching her.
Next day after college Mahi went to Raaji's house as her in-laws went on Europe trip for two weeks. Soni is helping Raaji in the kitchen and welcomed Mahi. "Tu akeli aayi? Shabd kahan hai?"
Mahi confusingly looked at her "Shabd? Wo kahan se ayega? Mein toh college sey seeda chali aayi. Ussey batayi bhi nahin. Tum uskey barrein mein kyon poochrahi hai?"
Soni gave stare at her and gestured Raaji to deal with Mahi. Raaji smiled and reached Mahi "ussey isko kuch bhi kaam nahin hai, bus aisi hi poch rahi thi ki nayi nayi shadi huva hai akeli agayi thi na."
Mahi is not impressed much by her defensive reply but shook her head as she understood "Mein aagey sey ussey lekar aaoongi, magar ussey bahut kaam rehta hai. I don't want to stop coming coz of him. Kya banarahi ho?" she walked into kitchen for the aroma she is getting into her nostrils. Both sisters laughed and gave her gobhi paratha in a plate "Ley tumhari pasandgi parathas. Ageley baar Shabd ko bhi lekey ana."
Jeet entered "why don't you invite him formally? So, he doesn't get a chance to give excuses."
Soni agreed and thanked him for the idea. Raaji called him immediately and invited for dinner for following night. Mahi took the phone in the middle of conversation and informed she is in Raaji's house and will be backing home soon.
Jeet and Mahi again talked about their common subjects and they forgot about time. Raaji and Soni became busy with kids and arranging for diner. Mahi is surprised to see Shabd standing at the door and watching them seriously.
"Shabd! Aap kab aye they? I was totally forgotten time and we are busy in discussing about my studies." Shabd shook his head as he understood and shook hands with Jeet. Veer joined them at dinner and three men immersed in their business talks soon. Mahi also kept participating in their conversation in between.
"Tumhey business acha lagta hai?" Shabd asked while going back home. Mahi smiled and shook her head.
"Kal sey mere saat kaam karogi?" Shabd is hoping to see her more time now if she agrees.
Mahi smiled with excitement rolling her big eyes, "Haan" again got disappointed "nahin..ab nahin..pehley meri padhai finish karney do baad mein aapka saat kaam jaroor karungi."
Shabd smiled as agreeing and thought "three more years, hope she understands the meaning of marriage before that."
Mahi finished her another 6 month college and got summer vacation. Shabd planned to take her for summer vacation to any cold place. He asked "Mahi! Hum shadi ke baad kahin nahin gaye they. If you are interested we can go to Germany, Swiss, Vancouver, anywhere in the world."
Mahi didn't show any interest "Nahin, Shabd! I prefer to stay here. Agar aap jaana chahey toh hum yahin kahin lonowala, Goa, shimla, Darjeeling jaa saktey hai. Raaji didi, Veena di bhi plan kar rahey hai. Hum uskey saat jaa saktey hai. Nain toh Daddyji Kashmir jaa rahey hai. Hum bhi uskey saat jaa saktey hai." She doesn't show any interest in being alone with Shabd.
Shabd sighed "Okey, dekhengey"
Mahi understood his disappointment "yeh kaisa museebat modliya mainey? Abb summer kaisey kategi. Hope. He doesn't again raise the topic. Iskey saat akeley? No way, Agar kuch gadbad hojaayetoh? Bachein vachein, nahin main kabhi nahin raaji hongi. I have to achieve what I wanted to be. Daddyji mera padhai nahin karwadiya. Yeh chance phir kahi nahin milegi. I have to concentrate only on my studies and later on career. Abb kahan umar bita jaa raha hai?"
Shabd became busy with his usual business as Mahi didn't show any interest in going alone with him. She took permission from Shabd to join her family to visit her far relatives in Kashmir. Mohini's maayka belong to Kashmir and they quite often visit the northern state.
Raaji and Soni also joined alone with kids and all three sisters enjoyed the whole month of summer in Kashmir. Shabd called often Mahi to find out her whereabouts. Mahi gets nothing to speak to him and keeps silent while Shabd tells about his business, colleagues, latest designs, fashions. His future plans when Mahi joins him also comes into the conversation quite often thought it takes another three years to implement.
Raaji didn't forget to remind Mahi about her marriage and Shabd and his love towards her. She never asked Mahi directly about her marital life but as an elder sister and more experienced married woman she noticed Mahi keeps Shabd in distance in bed room. She didn't want to force her to change her mind as it may worsen the situation between them. She slowly kept giving hints about her behavior with Shabd.
Mahi quite understands whatever Raaji tells her but keeps silent in front of her. She thinks about Shabd when she goes to bed as she got used to him beside her. She thinks about him whenever she is left alone.
"Mujhey pata hai Raaji di! Aap kya kehna chahti hai. But my first preference is my studies. Second I should become something to make my own identity in the society. Then I'll think about Shabd and life with him. Tab tak ussey wait karna hi padega. I never asked him to marry me. It's his choice to love me, marry me. Wo mujhey ek baar bhi pucha nahin mein kya chahti hoon. Agar mein kissi aur ko chahti toh?" she defends her behavior with Shabd.
