Priya: Wow'(Smells the flowers) I love these flowers. Actually I love Gajra!
She looks at him holding the Gajras in her hands.
Ram: Kitani baar kahan hain Priya,'Dekhkar chalo'. The sea is not going to run away.
Priya: (Glancing with twinkling eyes) I love these flowers'dekhiye na (Moves her hands little bit forward in front of him)
Ram: Haa..haa achhe hain.(Disinterested) Par mein jo baat bol raha hun, who sunn rahi ho na?
Itani excitement kis liye?(Annoyed with Priya's habit of walking carelessly and tripping) Tumhari yeh 'Biscuit' jaise kamar kahin lachak jaati toh?
Priya: I agree kabhi kabhi mera balance jaata hain. But I regain my composure promptly. Aur trip honey ki wajahse kabhi meray paav mein na kabhi moch aayi hain ya kamar mein lachak aayi hain. (Proudly)
Ram: Log apana 'work experience' share kartey hain or they do display their proficiency in certain fields. Par proudly yeh bataana'(Laughs, closes his eyes making a face in disagreement)
Priya: Mr. Kapoor pleaseee! (Annoyed that he doesn't care a damn about flowers or Gajra but discussing about her tripping) aap itanisi baat kay liye shor kyon macha rahey ho?
Ram: Dekho..abb Revati bhabhi kya soch rahi hogi.Yahi na ki humlog khuley aam romance kar rahain the, itnay logonkay beech.Logoko galfehmi ho sakti hain.
Priya: Please Mr. Kapoor! Unko bhi pata hain ki humlog shaadi-shuda hain, koi chori thodi na kar rahey hain.Aur iss mein itani sharmaney ki kaunsi baat hain? Bas aapney mujhe thoda sahara he diya tha, aur kuchbhi toh nahi kiya tha.
Priya: (With questioning look) Kya mein yeh baalon mein dal sakti hun?(Showing the Gajra)
Ram: Do I ever object about anything? Regarding your choices? Tumhey jo accha laggta hain who tum kar sakti ho.
Priya: Socha aapse puchh leti hun warna aagey jaakar kuch hua toh mujhehe blame karengey,(Acts like him) 'Priyaa..tumhey pata hain phir bhi jaanbujkar tum aisa karti ho.(annoyed) He observes her hair style but fails to understand about what she is talking about.
Ram: Arre haa meinney dekhahe nahi, tumney aaj apaney baalon mein phool nahi daala hain na? (Looking at her Lohri-day hair-do)
Priya thinks 'Leave alone the flower but today 'Subahse ek compliment bhi nahi diya, meiney samneyse puchha phirbhi ignore he kartey rahey. 'Vidya' ko dekhney mein kitnay busy the. Revatiney bhi kitna kuch kahan, mein aise kyon ready huyi hun phir bhi inko kuch nahi. (Feeling sad that he has not complimented her today, the way he usually does when she gets ready. She wonders if she is missing something. Answers his question)
Priya: Mein bhul gayi who artificial phool laaney ko. (Dejected tone)
Ram: Humarey garden mein bahot saarey phool the.
Priya: Mein who artificial phoolhe baalon mein daalti hun. (She feels like asking him 'You know why I prefer those artificial flowers?' but avoids)
She thinks 'Ek saal hua shaadi ko par kuch cheezo mein Goul kay Golu he rahain. Yeh bhi nahi samajh rahey hain kay mein innsey kyon puchh rahe hun kay 'Real Flowers' baalon mein daalu ya nahi? Itnay hints diye phir bhi samajh nahi rahey hain kay mein zyaadatar artificial flowers he baalon mein kyon daalti hun.'(Sulks)
Ram: (Waves his hand in front of her face) Hello madam! Khaana khaney chalein?
She thinks 'Priya tu bhi pagal hain, Mr. Kapoor beena explaination kabhi kuch samjh paaye hain? Abb mein yeh phool baaoln mein daalhe deti hun. Anyways my hairdo is looking somehow empty. Aur Revati bhi puchhegi ki 'Gajra' kahan hain?.'
Priya: Just one minute. Jara rukiye.
Ram: Abb kya hain?
She takes out the hair pins from her hand bag, places her hand bag in his hands. She starts to put the Gajras in her hair-do so as it would cover over her hair-plait.
Priya: Inn phoolon ki khushboo! I love Gajras'Aapko pata hain, 'Mogra, Madhumalti, Chameli, Jui inn phoolon ki khushboo?(Chirpily) Bahot pyaari hoti hain.' (Placing her fingers behind her head to put the Gajras properly in her hairs)
Ram: (His attention fully on the menu spread at the counters) Iss waqt mujhe sirf khaaney ki khushboo aa rahi hain. You know 'Seafood'! 'Prawns, Crabs, Pomp fret, Shell fish'. Very tempting you get here. (He could smell the food)
Priya: Mr. Kapoor aap breakfast mein non-veg. khayengey?
Ram: Mein jabb yahanpe aata hun tabb breakfast, lunch '(Before he completes)
Priya: Aur dinner mein bhi sea-food khatey ho. (Snatches away her hand bag from him irritatingly, remembering his dialogues at their Australia honeymoon)
Ram: (Quickly comes and stands besides her) exactly what I want to say! (Placing his arm on her shoulder) Mrs. Kapoor'! (Firmly grabs her closer) Chalo abb. (tilting his head, brings his lips near to her ear, with naughty laugh)
She suddenly feels his breath, on her ear & neck. She turns her face upward to look into his eyes. He continues,
Ram: Gajray ki wajahse mujhe chhikhein aayi bhi toh please sab kay samney. (Stops) You know what? (Murmurs) Shaadi ko ek saal pura hoga phir bhi, 'It won't look good that my wife would pull my ears in front of all and make it public.' (His lips slightly brushes against her ear before leaving some tickling sensation within her)
After having breakfast, they wait for Laxman & Revati. They haven't met the bride yet as they had decided to go together after Laxman & Revati would come. Ram & Priya decide to take a stroll outside the dining area. They have walked few steps away from the tents and the entire hustle of the wedding celebration, in the direction of sea. Priya observes the beauty of the nature, Ram already knows the place very well. He observes the beauty of his wife. In between he attends some phone calls while she gets busy in sightseeing. The venue located on a small hill top which has been naturally raised few feet above the sea shore level. On the eastern side they could see the green mountain ranges behind this small mountain. In the opposite side that is in the West direction, they could see the Sea. As they walk towards the fence at the edge of the hill top, they could feel the salty air getting wilder. He looks at her as he walks slightly behind her. She tries hard to fight back with the wind's aggression as the wind blew from the West. Both of them have spoken nothing for last few minutes. Her pallu of saree start flying like an errant kite in the air. As he walks behind her, her pallu comes lightly covering on his face. Before he would realize, it keeps touching softly like a feather over his shoulders, upper body. She doesn't bother to check whether he is behind her or not, in full assurance that he would never let her alone anywhere. Moreover, she is sensing his presence behind her each footstep. He knows that she is completely unaware of what's happening behind her back. Though first annoyed by its vehement behavior he tries to move away her pallu from him, he finds the soft fabric of corner of her saree pallu quite funny & interesting. He reaches to a funny conclusion, 'Even though Priya and I, both of us are keeping some distance while walking down on the same road to reach at the common goal, this pallu has itself formed a connection between us. Is it asking us to always be together?' He laughs at himself for getting little bit philosophical or emotional like his wife gets. He remembers Vikram's words, 'Wait, when you would get married you will realize many things or something like that for explaining his behavior towards Neha'. He amazes thinking that how come Vikram's words never fail, not even slightest error to blame. Ram feels, 'He too is now actually living like a lovey-dovey hubby of Priya.' He thinks 'Her plait and flowers are actually enhancing her rear image. There is something very attractive about her walking style though she trips very often. With each step of her, my heart wants to touch her.' Immersed in random, deep thoughts he just keeps walking behind her until she stops. She turns around to see that why he is being so quite. Finds her pallu is swaying over his face, she bites her tongue and keeps looking at him.
Ram: (Speaks) why don't you use more pins to control your pallu? (Eyes do talking with her eyes)
Holding the corner of her saree pallu, he comes closer to her in determination .Before he reaches inches away from her, she turns around to avoid the intense messages she receives through those eyes. He stands behind her, wanting to grab her closer. She closes her eyes, gets ready for some sensual surprise which is blooming in his twinkling eyes. She feels his left hand coming from behind to hold her waist; with other hand he starts to assign the corner of her saree pallu at the edge where the saree is tucked around the waistline of her slender figure. She amazes at his speed when he finely places her pallu so that it cannot fly. He doesn't stop there. His fingers start moving playfully over her stomach feeling the softness of her skin. Her heart beats faster with each and every move of his fingers. Bending down, he softly kisses on her back. She feels the need to stop him. Swiftly, she places her right hand over his right hand to stop him.
Priya: (Turns around) Raam..humein abb chalna chahiye. Who log intezaar kar rahey hongey.Aur koi dekh lega toh? (Nervously)
Ram: (Holds her hand firmly) Kuch der peheley tum he toh kahein rahi thi..Kya? Shaadi-shuda hain, koi chori toh nahi kar rahey hain.
Priya: Who..toh'mein..Aapse argument mein haarna nahi chahti thi. (Lowers her face down)
He wants to spend some more time with her.
Ram: But you wanted to see the Sea-view from here.
Priya: Haa..lekin hum yahan pe kis liye aaye hain? Who kaam zyaada important hain na?(Suggesting about the Wedding)
Ram: 2nd Honeymoon. Yahi baat toh mein bhi kahein raha hun.( Grabs her closer by his arms encircling around her shoulder)
Priya: Aapko sab pata hain ki mein kis baarey mein baat kar rahi hun.(Placing her right hand on his chest) Hum honeymoon baad mein bhi manaa saktey hain na. (She rests her head against his chest) Abb shaadi kay liye aaye hain, toh sab kuch theekse attend karna chahiye na humein?
Ram: Promise me..(Caressing her head with his hand) haldi ka function honey kay baad jo 'Sangeet' honeywala hain usskay beech kuch time raheyga tabb humdono beach pe jaayengey.
Priya: Yeh achha idea hain, matlab kisiko bura bhi nahi laggega. 'Sangeet' shuru honeyse kuch der peheley wapas aa jaayengey. (Happily) Abb unka phone aaneyse peheley yahanse chalein?
He nods in agreement. But he looks somehow dejected.
Ram: Theek hain, chaltey hain. Aur koi option bhi nahi hain.
They have started to return at the wedding venue. They keep on talking.
Priya: Arre phirse aapka chehra phul gaya. Abb kuch der peheley theek the.
Ram: Humari wedding anniversary manaaney aaye the aur puri tarahse wedding ceremony mein phas gaye.Kal shaadi hain, parso KM mein kuch celebration hoga toh subah uthakar he nikalna hoga.
Priya: Theek hain, humari yaadein bhi toh taaza ho rahi hain. Abhi aap apna 'Face' ekdam khush rakhiye.Subahse hik-chik mood hain. Vidya ko dekhkar smile kar rahey the waise kijiye na? (Teases) Ekdam khush!
Ram: Tum phirse shuru ho gayi? Aur mein kya 'Hero' nahi hun,'Scene' kay hesaabse agar actual mood sad hoga phir bhi muskurata rahu. You know feelings andarse aani chahiye.
They reach at the bride's residence. It is a 3 storied, traditional style building at 1st look, the central courtyard, surrounded by the rooms. Laxman's mother blesses Ram & Priya. Ram hugs Gauri affectionately. After the introduction amidst the noise and the gathering of the people, they manage to do some initial exchange of words. As the muhurat for haldi ceremony approaches near, Gauri teases Ram that Priya would be busy with the other ladies for next few hours so he would have to wait for her outside, at the venue. All the ladies gather to start the haldi ceremony. Ram comes out and sits watching some entertainment programs for guests which is going on the stage. Priya gets busy with other ladies in the celebration. Though the haldi function gets over Gauri and Revati stops Priya to enjoy the 'Sangeet practice' with them. Though she informs Ram that it's impossible for her to escape from there he waits for her impatiently, looking at his wrist watch again and again. Priya doesn't come. It's almost evening; he has finished lots of his office work by making phone calls, replying his e-mails on his cell phone. Finally, she calls him. She asks him to reach at the stage for 'Sangeet' ceremony. She would come to join him in the audience after she would finish helping the girls to get ready for the dances. He gets happy that finally she would come and they can go to the beach, skipping the 'Sangeet'. He settles in the seat in the front row, grinning happily. The curtain on the stage rises above and the 'Sangeet' starts with kids dance on the 'Jai Jaiji Ganraj, Vidhya Sukhdata'. The 1st dance ends and the curtain falls. Ram waits for her thinking; she missed a cute performance of kids. Madam kya kar rahe hain samajh mein nahe aa raha hain.
The host announces 'Hold your breath, the next performance is all about beauty.' Ram understands the host is none other than Laxman. He listens attentively as Laxman's voice gets fully excited "This dance is special because the performers are also special. The little angels of family, Gauri's beautiful friends from India and abroad and last but not the least Gauri's gorgeous Bhabhis would depict the beauty of women in one of the Maharashtra's pride 'Dance style'that is '.
The audience reply 'Lavani''.The host says, 'Of course Lavani'.
Priya's look for 'Lavani' dance Priya's saree and one of the pose
Youtube link of the song.
(Please do watch the above video, as I have imagined Priya's latkay-jhatkay and group dance based on above DID dance performance)
Ram thinks 'So Laxman is excited because Revati bhabhi is performing Lavani.' Ram to gets enthusiastic to watch Revati's dance. 'Yeh Priya kahan hain pata nahi abb Revati ka dance bhi miss kar diya.'
The curtain starts rising for the next dance. The music of dholak starts playing. The two women claded in nine yard red sarees, start matching their footsteps to the beats of the dholak. Their backs face the audience as they start swaying the pallu of their sarees by holding it in their hands in downward direction so as to cover their faces, matching the rhythm. As the music continues all the other girls join them.
Ram watches curiously, none of them have lifted the pallu above their faces yet. The music of dholak stops and all of them lift the pallu, displaying their faces. He feels like the woman dancing besides Revati looks like Priya, unable to believe his eyes. He searches her as the other girls come forward and she goes behind. But he tries to keep hawk like gaze on her by raising his head. The music continues and along with music come the hichki, (He realizes she is undoubtedly Priya finally dancing on the hichaki song) The song starts
Female: Ghadi ghadi hik chik thodi thodi hik chik, shor machaye re
Haye meri chunari bhi sarki jaye re,
His smile gets wider as he realizes 'His wife is looking prettiest in the red color nine yard saree and actually dancing on Lavani song'.
Ghadi ghadi hik chik thodi thodi hik chik, shor machaye re
Haye meri chunari bhi sarki jaye re
Priya makes a face the way she reacts when Ram fights with her, 'Kitna shor machatey ho aap Mr. Kapoor'. He can't control his laugh, looking at her expression.
Chorus: Chunri lahak gayi jo tori, lachki kamar kyu teri chori
Kuch to hua tujhe chori chori,
Till then Priya takes the center place while performing on the stage. She looks at him, giving her one of those affirming looks, 'Yes, Mr. Kapoor'Surprise' smiles cutely while giving one more jhatka to her waist. His heart jumps at the exact moment.
Female: Haye re mala lagli kunachi hichki
Mala lagli kunachi hichki, haye re mala lagli kunachi hichki
Though it's a group dance and others are also performing well, his eyes don't move a bit from her. Existence of other dancers to his vision gets blur.
Aaye chori chupke bade dubke dubke badi shaitani kare
Haye dil daule le hichkole mithi mithi aahe bhare
He exhales looking at her expressions and smiles slyly, thinking 'Really I love to taste her patience by getting naughty and how she actually enjoys it.'
Chorus: Chunri lahak gayi jo tori, lachki kamar kyu teri chori
Kuch to hua tujhe chori chori
The stage looks vibrant and energetic as the girls perform with perfect co-ordination and beautiful formations on the lyrics.
Haye re mala lagli kunachi hichki, mala lagli kunachi hichki
Haye re mala lagli kunachi hichki
He gets mesmorized in her different adaas...latkay...jhataky, wondering that how can she portray same or various types of emotions with various expressions but all equally cutely dynamic in magnitude.
Female: Balo me gajra naino me kajra, Ban than ke mai khadi
Ban ke mushibat jane kaha se, Gale mere aake padi
His eyes catch the detailing, the red nine yard saree, gold jewelry, the huge Maharashtrian style pearl nose ring, Gajra, green bangles and everything suits so perfectly to her already refined beauty and allure.
Chorus: Lachki kamar kyu teri chori, Kuch to hua tujhe chori chori
She gives one more jhatka to her waist along with other girls, he feels proud by seeing her one more unknown side. The crowd cheers for all the girls.
Female: Haye re mala lagli kunachi hichki, Mala lagli kunachi hichki
Haye re mala lagli kunachi hichki ho...
At the end of the performance, he swiftly stands up clapping along with the rest of the people in the audience. With swiftness, his fingers move inside his mouth and unknowingly he whistles loudly. Though she is standing on the stage, she blushes looking at him. Their eyes meet. While performing, she has been keenly observing him as much as possible since the dance started.
