Scene 6Ajabde ran towards her bed and fell upside down. Her face was buried on the pillow.
She thought of all the moments she had with Pratap that day and the way he made her say that she had forgiven him.
'kithnay hati hai ye' she saidbeating the pillow with her hand , her face still buried in the pillow.
'Abh main rani ma aur ma ka samna kaise karungi'
AJabde got up and went towards the mirror. She looked at herself and smiled.
Her hands were cold, and she could feel goosebumps all over her body. She slowly grasped her body in a hug trying to get the feeling away.
'Bai sa khanay ki tayyari ho gayi hai. aapki prateeksha ho rahi hain' Said a daasi who had come to announce about the evening dinner.
Ajabde quickly adjusted her lehenga and brushed her hair. She applied kajal in her eyes and then looked at herself.
She was getting ready for her husband? ye kya ker rahe hain hum she thought to herself but then left the room to help serve.
Pratap was now sitting with her mother. They were talking merrily when Ajabde entered into the room. Her face was still flushed. Pratap too looked down trying to avoid his mother's gaze.
Jaiwanta lovingly looked at ajabde and got up.
She slowly put her hands in Ajabde's hands and brought her near Pratap and made her sit besides him.
When the food came she made them serve both Pratap and Ajabde in one plate.
'ABh meray samnay thum ajabde ko ye mishtan khilao. Said Javanta bai pointing towards sweet kheer.
Ajabde blushed but at the same time loved that her ranima was giving them a special moment that , she knew was going to savor for her entire life.
They had a beautiful dinner together and upon finishing Paratap left to wash his hands, this time alone. AJabde secretly hoped that he would want her accompany her but, no such requests came.
Annoyed slightly , Ajabde thought,
'main maan gayi hun na, isiliye abh is tarah vyavhaar ker rahe hain' Pehlay tho peecha hi nahi chor rahe thay aur abh, nazar tak nahi mila rahe hain' she complained to herself.
Ajabde went towards the washing area and starting washing herself, when she felt a strong arm holding her waist from the back.
In the shock she dropped the basin and turned around, with dagger in her hand.
There he was, standing shocked.
"ajabde , aapko kya mauka chahiye hum per var kernay ka. Jab sey hum bijolia aayen hain aapnay humper kithni baar aapni khanjar sey var kernay ki koshish ki hai? said pratap sarcastically
aapko apnay suhaag ki koi chinta nahi? he said holding his heart
Ajabde controlled her smile
'ye koi tareeka hai. aap bhi humesha kiya isi tarah bartaav kerthay hain? she argued back
'Nahi, is tarah sey tho hum bas aapkay sath ker sakthay hain.
Saying this he took hold of her khanjar and slowly , he brushed his hands towards her duppatta and moved it away from her waist.
He loved the way , she cringed at his touch. Then he placed the dagger back in its place.
but he did not move his hands. He slowly made his palm touch her bare skin and started to feel her waist.
Ajabde, pushed his hands away and tried to leave but pratap pulled her back in his embrace. She was in his arms now.
'Hum aapsey bohot prem kerthay hain ajabde. said pratap in a husky voice.
Ajabde looked at him , at loss of words.
kya aap humsey prem kerthi hain? he asked her
she looked up at him. There was a tear rolling through her cheek. He did not need any explanations. He knew then that , she had always loved him and will always love him. He moved forward and kissed the tear.
and without waiting for any longer, he tightly grasped her waist and started to kiss her lips. She could feel his slightly trimmed moustache touching her soft lips. He hugged her tightly as her chest pressed harder with his. He continued kissing her. HIs hands started to feel more of her waist and starting going towards her back.
He could not control himself as he placed his hands behind the dori trying to feel every inch of the skin that he could find. Ajabde tried to push him away but Pratap pulled her even closer and kissed harder.
But then slowly he stopped. He could feel her heart beat. It was faster than his.
As he moved his face away from hers, he saw how her lips looked somewhat swollen.
Ajabde, who had her eyes closed all this time, slowly opened her eyes. She looked at him and then unable to meet his gaze, she looked down.
Without any more words , Pratap moved back for her to leave and then as she was leaving he once again pulled her to his embrace.
Ajabde , burried her head in his chest.
'aaj ke liye bas? he asked
'ya aur chahiye?
Ajabde felt that she would die of shyness.
Rukiye.. aapki dori..
It had gotten loose.
Ajabde quickly put her hands behind and saw that couple of her dori had come loose.
she quickly put duppata behind her back.
'main aapki madad ker dun? he asked
Ajabde , who was speechless nodded in a no and then she made a quick exit from there
Scene 7.
Ajabde once again was in her room. She quickly tried to make her self look presentable , in case anyone had come in.
Just then Saubhagyawati came in
Baisa , humnay aapko kahan kahan nahi dunda. Hansa ma nay kuch ...
Ye kya hua baisa aapko said Saubhagyawati looking at her.
Aaiye main aapki dori bandh dethi hun. She had walked in on ajabde when she was trying to tie the back of her dori.
'Aap teekh tho hain, Ithnay paseenay chut kiyun rahe hain' asked saubhagyawati
'H...hum teek hain stuttered ajabde.
Then Ajabde noticed a sly smile on Saubhagyawati's face through her mirror .
'Acha lagtha hai aap humaray kuwar ji milerker aayi hain' Said saubhagyawati trying to sound as normal as possible.
Ajabde immediately turned the darkest shade of red.
Her face became extremely hot.
'kya matlab hai aapka. HUm kisi sey nahi mil ker aayi hain' said Ajabde trying to avoid looking at her friend.
'acha teekh hain. HUm maan lethay hain. lekin bahar janay sey pehlay ye honto ki laali aur kajal teekh ker lijiyega. Pata hai na ranima bhi wahan per hi hongi' she said
AJabde turned , if possible even redder.
'acha hum kuch nahi kehthay ... aap araam sey aayiye' she said as she got up to leave just then ajabde held her hand
'suno...
She made saubhagyawati sit besides her
vo... agar..mujhe..
bolo Ajabde
Mujhe dar lag raha hai. said Ajabde
Saubhagyawati smiled at her friend. She knew how it feels to be with someone for the first time. The nervousness and the slight fear and not to mention the wanting to be with that person as well. It was a mixed feeling.
Saubhagyawati took her friends hand in hers and carased it slightly.
'ye sambhavik batain hain. jo har byahtha mehsoos kerthi hain. Aap bhi ker rahi hain. Aur shayad thoda zyada hi' she teased
'Saubhagyawati' said Ajabde shyly
'acha , nahi chidathay hum aapko. Lekin han, aapko tho fikar kernay ki koi avyashaktha nahi hai. aapkay var tho puri duniya main sabsey achay hain. aap bohot bhagyashali ho Ajabde. Ve aapseybohot pyar kerthay hain aur aapko bohot sukhi rakhengay'
'Beethi hun baton ko apnay anay walay kal per haavi math honay dijiyega' advised Saubhagyawati.
Feeling much calmer Ajabde went ahead with her friend towards the main sitting area.
'Lekin aapkay hoton ko kya hua? asked Suabhagyawati now teasing.
'chup kijiye aap' said Ajabde running behind her friend as she tried to escape ajabde.
