Part 3 : We belong together...❤️
Saanchi stood seething at the scene in front of her. But Jagya was too busy to notice her. He finally released Ganga and smiled.
"You OK?" he asked her.
"I'm fine... happy that you can run around the house now. You're fine now... " she smiled back.
"I'm fine yes. Thank you.. "
Just then, Dasi Sa walked in followed by rest of the family members pulling Jagya and Ganga out of their trance.
"Are chora.. What are you both doing here? Ganga.. come on, go start preparing prasad. There's a Jagrata tonight?"
"Dadi Sa.. where?" Ganga asked her.
"Are chori.. here in our house. Shiv has left on account of some work, but Anandi and Saanchi are here. Take their help if you need. We really gotto hurry... "
Ganga nodded and rushed into the kitchen along with Anandi.
~
That evening Dadi Sa called a saadi waala. Everyone except Ganga were gathered in the hall. She picked up saaris and lehengas for everyone. Sumi suggested Ganga to pick one for herself. Ganga who's in kitchen paid no heed.
Anandi picked one for herself and was about to choose one for Ganga when Jagya picked one for her.
"I think Ganga will like it. I'm pretty sure. I know well about her choices. She likes to be simple and all.. this is elegant and simple, right Dasi saa?" he smiled up at Dadi who nodded in approval. He then chose a saaree for his mother as well.
Saanchi couldn't help but feel jealous. She decided to tease Jagya and asked him to pick one for her as well. Jagya reluctantly agreed.
Mean while, Anandi dragged Ganga out of the kitchen and asked her to choose her favorite one. And when Ganga made her choice, Anandi wasn't surprised, she picked the same one Jagya had suggested. Everyone had finished choosing their outfits for Jagraata. Ganga too was heading towards kitchen when Anandi cornered her.
"I think you two know each other very well and looks like you have a great level of understanding. You have chosen the same lehenga Jagya said you'd like. "
"Dr.Saa chose the same?" Ganga's eyes widened for a moment before she broke into wide smile.
Anandi was satisfied when she got the response she wanted. Something was brewing between Jagya and Ganga. She was right.
~~
It was half past six in the evening. Jagraata would begin soon. Decorations were in full swing in the haweli. Prasad was almost ready.
Ganga was in her room, feeding mannu when someone knocked on her door.
"Dr.Saa.. " She was surprised to see him standing there, with the familiar smile on his face. The bandages were gone and Dr.Saa was looking as handsome as ever. Like Poonam Ki raat, she mused as she asked him to come in.
"I thought of giving you these. ... " Jagya showed her some books he has brought before accident happened.
"Haan.. Oh Thank you Dr.Saa. Can you place them on the table please... I'm trying to get Mannu eat this... " she trailed off, pouting as Mannu refused to eat.
He placed the books on the table and went to sit opposite her. She was still narrating some weird stories to her son, occasionally smiling, giggling, pouting. She was so full of life, so much that just one glance at her made him smile. One conversation with her left him with a warm feeling in his heart. He din't know why he liked talking to her, let alone sit beside her, watching her feed Mannu. But he could admit it aloud.. he liked her smile, her courage, her hardwork, her caring personality and her selflessness. Everything about her was starting to affect him. He was starting to notice little things which he dint notice earlier, like how she would bite her nails when she's nervous, how her cheeks would turn pink when she was embarassed, how her eyes gleam when she smiled.
He looked at the bowl she was holding. Ras Malai? She was feeding Mannu Ras Malai.. Kis khushi mein?
"Mannu.. see everyone is happy. You will not get to eat this sweet again. Dr.Saa says sweets aren't good for health.. so jus one more and you'll be done.. say aaa... aaa karo Mannuu... " She was trying her best.
"Sirf Mannu ko hi khilaaogi? You'll feed jus Mannu and not me? I've just recovered... and here you're not giving me something sweet to eat.. " his words were like teasing.
"No.. Dr.Saa. Its just that.. you'd like to have this? Mannu seems disinterested... " She was about to hand him the bowl full of sweets when he signalled to his hands. His hands still bore some scars, bandages were inplace. The spoon slipped from her hands as she recollected what happened at the mandir. She shouldn't cry.. Dr.Saa would be upset if she did.
"Ganga.. you dropped the spoon!" he laughed.
And she smiled, she loved to hear him laugh.
She quickly took one sweet ball and placed it near his lips. He took a small bite and smiled. Her heart raced at the contact when his lips touched her fingers as he ate.
"thanks Ganga.. Mr. Mannu don't eat more sweets OK? And Ganga.. do read those books whenever free. Any doubts, feel free to ask. "
She gave an awkward smile and picked up one sweet and sat thinking of what just happened.
~
It was 7:30 pm. Jagraata would begin @ 8pm. Ganga was pacing the hall, surveying the preparations. Her mind was still preoccupied with happenings of that day.
"If your life will be filled with happiness at the cost of this... I promise, I can take thousand more blows. "
"For your happiness, I can do anything... I'm strong enough to bear the pain ... "
Jagya's words were ringing in her ears. Dr.Saa cared so much for her...
"I will hold your hand and never let go no matter how many Ratan Singh's come you're way. You will never be alone in this fight Ganga. "
He was the sweetest person she ever met. He was so kind, so caring and so handsome... She chided herself for saying the last part aloud. She notice he was being more playful these days.
" You'll feed jus Mannu and not me? "
She was wearing the very same lehenga her Dr.Saa had chosen for her. She wondered what she would look like... what Dr.Saa would think she looked like.?
She was so lost in her thoughts that she failed to notice the very same person was watching her from a far, with a smile on his face.
~
"Dr. Jagish... " Saanchi decided to woo him, " how do I look?"
"Beautiful... "
Saanchi was escatic upon receiving the much anticipated reply. She glanced at him, hoping he'd shower more praises. But was shocked when she saw him dreamily gazing at someone from afar. Surely he was not eyeing her! She looked in the direction where he was looking and choked when she spotted Ganga walking down the hall, adjusting her pallu. Like Jagdish.. she too seemed lost in thoughts.
Did Jagdish say she/GANGA looked beautiful? Nooo... He wouldn't fall for a village girl. He couldn't.
Jagya couldn't help but keep staring at her beautiful face. He knew she'd look beautiful .. knew that the lehenga would add to her inner as well as outer beauty. But she'd look this beautiful that would make his heart skip a beat... He hadn't expected that.
"Dr. Jagdish!" saanchi screamed breaking his trance.
"Are saanchi ... when did you come here?" he asked slightly embarassed.
"Just when you called her beautiful... " She snorted.
Jagya quickly made an excuse and left the place.
"No.. I wont let Ganga enter your life Jagdish..."she mumbled while fuming in anger. Saanchi decided to humilate Ganga and walked towards her.
"Because of you he didn't notice me.. See What I'll do to you... "
~
"chori.. Put up these flowers up there.. " Dadi Sa handed over some garlands meant for decoration,"take the ladder from the store room if you want... "
"sure Dadi Saa... " Ganga momentarily set her thoughts about Dr.Saa aside as she took the garland from Dadi.
"I can help you Ganga.. I'll get the ladder.. " Saanchi piped in and dint budge when Ganga refused her help politely.
She went to the store room and brought the old, creeky ladder.
"Tonight is gonna be your last night of fun.. Because you'll be injured. And you'll rest while I take your Dr.Saa away from you.."
~
Unaware of the condition of the ladder, lost in thoughts Ganga stepped on to it. She reached the top of it, putting the garland in place she wondered to herself.. why was she thinking so much about Dr.Saa? Sure, he had been her saviour, a good friend and an amazing person and all.. But wasn't she thinking too much about him? She couldn't deny it any longer. She felt she was happiest person alive when he was around... she would feel sad when he was sad. Her heart stopped the moment those goons struck him on his head. Why was it so? What was this relation between them that keeps them going? Why was it Dr.Saa understood her so well, knew her choices, her likes, dislikes, her hurt/comfort?
Saanchi was displeased when the ladder dint break but observed Ganga was distracted. She began instructing Ganga.
"Up! Come on Ganga.. strech yourself! Put it over there.. "
Ganga streched to her maximum extent, while trying to tie a knot at far end, the garland slipped from her hands. She tried frantically to catch it and it was then she lost her footing.
Jagya was moving around and saw that Ganga was standing on the old deserted ladder to place the garland up in the hall.
"Ganga.. " He screamed upon seeing her loosing her balance.
With jet speed he was running to save Ganga while Saanchi prayed he'd not arrive right in time.
"Awwhhh... Maataa Jiii... " Ganga was screaming and she knew she would crash to the floor.
Just before she would come contact with the hard flooring, Jagya rushed in to save her. He tried to catch her, hold her in bridal style.. but he was late. He lost his balance when Ganga collided with him and he ended up on the floor with Ganga on top of him. She was so much surprised and pleased to see her knight in shining armour saving her this way. Dr.Saa sure was handsome.. so much more from up close. Her cheeks turned pink when she noticed she was lying on top of.. err him.
"Oh... I should get up now! Maata Ji saved me! You saved me... " Ganga exclaimed as she tried to get up. It was embarassing enough as people gathered around the spot.
And suddenly she realised, Dr.Saa had a head injury! What if...
"Dr.Saa.. are you Ok? You dint hit the floor hard? Did you? Is your injury.. I mean your head.. does it hurt? " She was speaking so fast that it dint make sense.
But Jagya knew she cared for him just the way he did.
"I'm sorry Dr.Saa.. " her eyes were red, tears would leak now from her beautiful eyes.
"I'm fine Ganga.. " he smiled wiping her tears, " and you look beautiful... "
Ganga's frown dropped and a tiny smile errupted on her face. Her Dr.Saa was fine and he found her beautiful..😳
Dadi Sa, Maa Sa and bapu sa rushed to the spot and breathed a sigh of relief seeing both Jagya and Ganga were fine.
~
Jagraata began. Saanchi felt her insides boiling. She glanced at the old ladder which was now moved to a corner. She cursed herself for giving Ganga a romantic fall opportunity.
Was the ladder not too weak? She decided to test! She went and climbed on to it.. half way through it, the ladder began creaking and she crashed to the floor with a sprain in her leg.😆 Cursing herself for her damn idea, thanking God that ladder dint break while she was on its top, she got up and joined the pooja.
The pooja was in full swing. With out the world noticing, Dr.Saa and Ganga kept stealing glances at each other.
