Probable scene #5
*******************
Tad long, and long dialogues for AK, but i wanted him to talk instead of Anu, so bear with it.. and also for the typos,, suri suri suri 😆
*********************
The scenes starts after the ring shopping..
*********************
The weight of Anuj's arm on her shoulder only made her glow with happiness. They had left the jewellery store, Anu looking sideways at her Anuj, she wondered for the nth time if she really deserved so much happiness and the love this man bestowed upon her selflessly. Once again she looked up to thank Kanhaji.
Being the gentleman he was, he opened the cab door for her. This time she did not slid towards the window but sat in the middle, giving him just much space needed to sit beside her. Inwardly happy with her bold move, he asked the driver to start the journey back to the dreaded SH.
Anu kept gazing at her man, when he raised his brow questioning a "what?"
"Waha jaane ka bilkul mann nahi hain Anuuj, lekin Bapuji ke liye.." she trailed off.
"Your wish is my command. Lets take a detour.."
"Matlab?"
"Matlab thodi der saath samay beetakar phir jayenge shah house. Chaalse?"
When she nodded a yes, he msgd Mukku to do something for him. Asking the cab driver to take them to his apartment building, he motioned her to relax.
She started to protest ,what about GK and Mukku, he again signalled, "main hu na.."
She silently put her head on his shoulder..
Soon they reached the building, instead of taking her to his apartment, he held her hand and took her to the terrace.. the sight in front of her was no less than a dream.
A small table, placed near a bench, adorning candles and flowers awaited them, fairy light strings hung on the railings behind seemed like stars had descended just for them.
He led her towards the bench.. she looked at him enquiring how? He just said Mukku..
She could just smile at his efforts.. but wasn't that a regular thing? Her Anuj would walk on fire for her.
*******************
There was a small jewel box on the table. Making Anu sit on the bench, Anuj went to get the content.
Anu raised a "what?"
He bent down to sit on one knee and raised his hand in front of her. He held a ring, the one he had got for her birthday but never got the chance to give her.
"Yeh kya hain?" - Anu
Anuj - "this is my promise to you Annu.."
Before he continues, Anu holds his hand and makes him sit beside her.
Locking his fingers into hers, he adds,
"Jeevan saathi toh hum jald hi bann jayenge Annu, lekin usse pehle, vaada karta hu ki main hamesha tumhara dost rahunga. Ek aisa dost jo kabhi tumhe akela nahi chhodega, chahe jo ho. Ek aisa dost jiske saath tum har baat share kar sako, bina kisi jhijak ke, bina kisi darr ke, jo mann aaye woh khulke bata sako..
I know you are not used to have equality in a marital relation, toh jab tumhe lage ke tum apne PATI Anuj se kuch baat nahi keh paa rahi jo, tab yeh DOST Anuj hamesha saath hoga..
Aur main jaanta hu, jab tumhare purane jakhm bharne lagenge tab iss pati aur dost ki alag alag chavi ki tumhe zaroorat nahi hogi.
Yeh angoothi isi vaade ka prateek hain.
Manzoor hain? kya tum bhi meri dost banogi?"
Saying thus he opens his palm with the ring in front of her.
In her reply, she raises her left hand for him to slide the ring.
When he slides the ring on her forefinger,
"Mera bhi aapse vaada hain Anuuj, jis tarah aap mere saath rahenge, main bhi hamesha hamesha hamesha aapke saath rahungi. Hum dono ki zindagi ke guzre huye pal wapas toh nahi aa sakte, lekin aanewale pal hum saath rahenge, har pal yaadgar banayenge, jab tak saanse chalti rahe tab tak. Vaadaa raha Anuuuj."
Overwhelmed by her promise, he brings her hand to his lips and gives a small peck near the newly placed ring.
They are lost in each other's eyes.. Anu senses the change of his loving gaze turn into an wanton desire, she gets shy, and lowers her head.
Afraid he might just take her then and there,
Anuj decides to lighten the mood, "bas.. bas haa.. itna sharma ke aur jhukogi toh shaadi se pehle gardan thedhi ho jayegi!!"
"Huh", she shot up her face, "matlab aap chahte hain main bhi aap jaise besharam bann jau?"
"Tumne meri besharmi dekhi hi kaha hain! Uss din chai peete huye tumne itna sar jhuka liya tha, mujhe sach mein laga kahi dr ke paas naa ley jana pade.
I mean, dont get me wrong, tum bahot pyari lagti ho jab mere liye sharmati ho, but yaar, at least jab hum akele ho tab thoda comfortable ho jaao. Pata chala sharmane mein hi saara romance nikal gaya."
She slaps his arm lightly hearing this,
"Achhaaa, phir sab hamein Mr. And Mrs Besharam bulane lagenge, chaalse?"
"Who cares yaaar!!" He winks.
Both burst out laughing.
"Anyway, chalo, bahot der ho gayi, tumhe SH drop kar du, warna Kinjal saasu ji phir mujhe daantegi."
"Hmmmm... chaliye", reluctantly she agrees.
He gets up and asks her hand, just as he always does. She gets up, but when he starts walking, she pulls him back to her, tiptoeing to reach his height, entangles her arms around his neck..
Whispers in his ear, "hamare naye safar ki shuruwaat itni yaadgaar banane ke liye bahot bahot bahot thenk you Kapadia ji..."
The new journey is thus sealed with a kiss between Mr and Mrs Besharam..
