Only Us..NEW FF, Part 4-Page 6 - UPDATED 09/04/10! - Page 2

all because she knew kanha was with her...but still she was feeling alittle uneasy because she knew that daksh would not leave her so easily.

Radh reached the mandir...panditji was getting everything ready for the morning aarti. radh arrives.

P-aare aagi beti, aaj toh tum waqt se pehle aa gayi.

R-punditji, mandir aane ga koi waqt ho ta hai kua? aur waise vhi mujhe kanha ne khud kahan hai ke me yahan aao.

P-haa beti, tumse baraa kanha bhakt toh porae vrindavan mein nhee ho ga..aacha beta aab tum meri madat karo gi, aabhi bohut tayariya bakee hein.

R-ji.

First radh done the morning aarti...lots of kanha bhakts were present...they heard radh sing the morning aarti everyday...but when she sang the people would just keep on wanting more. radh would just get lost when she sang the aarti...she dedicates her self to kanha and doesn't know or see anything around her.

When she finished the aarti...she gave everyone parshad....then nandu arrives......

N-mujhe vhi parshad mille ga?

R-aare nandu...tum kab aae...tume parshad chae?...ye lo!...and gives him some parshad.

N-shukriya.

he eats the pareshad but leaves some of it....

N-didi...

R-haa..

N-zaara chukiya...

R-par kyu?

N-aap chukiyae naa.

Radh bends down....nandu gets some parshad from his hand and slowly and caringly feeds radh the parshad.

R-thanevad

N-aap ko vhi

R-kisliyae....she says with a questioning face

N-meri didi hone ki liya..he replys with a cute and innocent face

Radh smiled....nandu was her best friend...he was always with her....during good times and bad times..he even knew about the beatings she received from amma and he also knew about.......Daksh!!!

N-mein bhi aapke saath diwali ki tayariya karonga!

R-haa,zaaroor karna...chalo hum pehela rangoli banate hai....

They started making the rangoli...they made many beautiful and colourful patterns. they done the rest of the preparations for the puja that was to happen at night, they dressed the idols, decorated the mandir with garlands and lit the diyas..she mandir looked stunning.

Before they knew it, it was evening...the purohit family arrived with shastiji...

Dadi (D) - Shashriji, puja ki saab tayariya ho gai hai na, aagar kuch chute gaya ho to mein aabhi kesee ko bhej ka mangwa leti ho?

S- nhee maaji, sab samakri hai...radhika pehle se le aai hai.

Vaishali (V) - Radhika, voh yahaa hai?

S- Ji, voh toh subah se tayariya mein vyaast hai.

Radhika arrives, she is still wearing the salwar suit from the morning...

Mrinalini (M)- arre Radhika, tum ne yeh kapare kyu pehne hai, tum ghar nahee gayi.

R- nhee, voh mein subah se mandir mein thi isse liya kapre badal ne ka same nahi milla..

M- tum thakti nhee ho itna kaam karke.

R- nhee, mein aapne kanha ki seva karna mere liya kaam nahi, yeh toh meri khush kismati hai, aapne kanha ke seva karke mein kabhi thak nahi sakti...

Mrinalini was extremely impressed with her answer, as was Dadi and Vaishali.

V - Shastriji, aapki beti toh bohut samaj daare hein...issne kitni aasani se jawaab de diya...

S - Ji, vho bohut baari kanha bhakt hai...vho saab kaam kar leti hain aur maathe par ek shikin nahi ho tee...ye mandir isse ne khud aapni hatho se sajaya hein...sumbae se yahaan hein...isse naahi ne kuch khaya hai aur naahi kuch peeya hei...bas aapne Kanha ke sava mein lagi hoi hai...

D- Radhika beti idaar aao..(she becons radh over, Radh goes to her and touches her feet)...jeete raho..beti tum subah se yahaan ho..tum ghar jao..tayar ho jao...aur kuch khaa, pee aao..kuch hee der mein puja shuru ho jaegi...

R- ji..par..

M- par var..kuch nahi..dadi maa sahi kehri hain..tum jaakar tayar ho jao..aache se tayar hona..shahid koi tum pasand karle..and she winked at dadi..she knew what dadi had thought...dadi smiled back and signaled her not say anything like this infront of radh.

D- haa Radhika tum jao.

R - Ji..teek hai..she took everyones blessing and left...she had took no notice of Mrinalinis comment.

While radh was walking home..she came across the tree that Daksh had pinned her against...she remembered his words...

waise vhee mere paas tumhare liya ek surprise hein...he said with a devilish smile.....ek surprise...surprise...devilish smile...smile....DEVIL. The words rushed through her mind..she started to feel a shiver down her back. Before she knew it she reached her house...she switched on the lights, no-one was home.."sab mandir gai hon gai"..she whispered to herself..she went into her room and got changed...she was wearing a baby pink anarkali..with not too much emoiboidry..she went to the dressing table. She wore very light make-up..so light that it was quite hard to see...she wore long pink earrings and a light pink tikka (headpiece).her hair were open and were completely straight..she was about to leave when she turned back and picked up a pair of payals..it was her favourite payal...she wore them and fixed her dupatta..the neck of the anarkali was too big so she had to keep it covered. She made her way to the mandir..her thoughts wondered once more to Daksh..."why..why..why does he do this, why just can't he leave me alone..kanha please help me...it's night and the puja will start soon..please help me Kanha..help me"...she returned to the real world and found tears rolling down her cheeks. She reached the mandir..she saw everyone, they were happy and celebrating the fesitval of light..but only she knew what she felt inside her..her heart was getting heavy..her mind was filling with all sort of bad thoughts..she didn't know what to do she felt like now she was going to breakdown and let all the pain come out of her..but she knew she couldn't..she shouldn't...she can't.

The puja was bout to start, dadi came to Radh,

D- Radhika, tum aagi, kini sundat lagri hoon...

Radh only smiled because she knew if she spoke dadi would instantly know that something was wrong.

D- chaalo, puja shooru hone wali hai.

Radhs heart began to get even heavier..she knew after the puja....he would come....

The puja began..everyone was fully devoted to Kanha..Radh was too...she wished this moment would never end..she loved being in Kanhas shelter..it made her feel secure and lifted all her fears and worries...but Radhs wish was not forfilled as soon the puja was over. Radh was now extemely scared..she didn't know what to do..should she go home?..should she stay? She was confused and afraid .

In the corner, Dadi and Vivek were talking...

D- Arre phone kar na usse..kitna saame lagara hai..aakhein tarase gai hai usse dekhne kiliya.

V-Phone laga toh raha hoon dadi maa..switched off aara hain..shahid flight se uttar kar switch on nahi keeya hoga!

D- Meine kahan tha usse jaldi aa jana..mujhe maloom hai ke vho ye saab jaan bhuj kar kara hai..aapni dadi ko pareshan kare kileeya...

V- nahi Dadi..aap essa kyu soch rahi hai..thora intizaar karo lo...

D- Aab toh intizaar toh hi karna parega...she sighed with a sad face.

3 hour later....

Daksh had not yet arrived...Radh looked thankful....everyone was now going back to their homes..everyone had a great time...except Radh..she knew Daksh would now come...everyone was leaving...her heart sank..she didn't know what to do....Vish arrived...

V- Radhika, chal saab ghar jaane wale hai, tu vhi aa

R- nahi...Vishaka tu chal mujhe..mujhe kuch kaam hai..mein vho poora karke aati hoon..tu chal..

V- Par Radhika, tu suba se yahaan hai..

R- thori der aur phir mein ghar aa jao ne gayi..tu chal..

V- teek hai...

Vishaka left. There was no-one left...everything was quiet..this silence haunted Radh...she was feeling uneasy...she felt as though something was about to happen..something...but she felt something good was going to happen not bad..."meri raksha karna Kanha", she prayed...she was about to cry..ahe was afraid, scared..no word was enough to descibe how scared she was.

The whole mandir was covered in Diyas..all of them were still lit...Radh was worried she started walking from one side of the mandir to the other..left than right...she was so worried that she took no notice that one end her dupatta was being dragged on the floor while she was walking..and soon her dupatta fell on a diya and catched on fire..she had no idea that her dupatta was on fire..she was too busy in her own thoughts.....

The scene shifts towards the entrance of the Mandir..we can a see a man..he is walking inside..."Damn, theres no-one here, looks like my surprise is ruined...I can't believe I got late..."...he continues to walk inside the mandir....toward where radh is....

Radh still walking side to side, still doesn't know anything about her dupatta. She is facing the Kanha, her back is towards the mandirs entrance....she hears footsteps...she stood still..."Da..ksh"..she slowly whispered...suddenly the sound of the footsteps became louder and faster..as though he was running...Radh didn't move a muscle..she closed her eyes and was praying to Kanha to help her..when suddenly..she opened her due to a sudden movement..when she opened them all she could see was her dupatta in her air..she was disgusted..she looked down at the neck of the anarkali..that was now fully exposed..Radh was furoius at Daksh..she turned round and slapped the person behind her....she turned round..."Aapki himma kaise hoi..."..she interruptred her own sentence..she was shocked by what she saw...she hadn't slapped Daksh..it was someone else...he had his face to the side as Radh had just slapped him...now he was angry..no-one had slapped him ever since he was young..he turned his face round so that he could see radhs face..but when he did...he forgot what she had just done..he forgot what he was going to say..he forgot...forgot everything. All he could see infront of him was a beautiful young girl..who was staring at him..he looked into her eyes..he could see regret and saw that she didn't mean to slap him..he saw innocence in her eyes...she looked divine...he stood staring at her. Radh spoke..."Ji, vho mein...meina..vho"...Radh started to cry..she needed to break down..She had been so worried about Daksh that she haden't even enjoyed diwali as much as she wanted to..for the first time she slapped someone..she had never slapped anyone..she had only ben slapped...she broke down...her emotions took over...automatically..she went forward and hugged the person infront of her...the man infront of her was shocked..Radh hugged him tight...it was like she had found someone who she she could rest her head and cry on...she put one hand on his back and one hand beside her hace which was burried in his chest...The man felt odd..instead of pushing her away he slowly placed one hand on her back and the other on her waist...they stood there for a minute or two..Radh felt secure in his arms...she forgot everything around them..she could feel the warmth coming from his breath and landing on her forehead...the man also held Radh tight he didn't feel like letting go..he had never felt like this before..he was so close to Radh that he could feel her heartbeat racing..he started to caress her hair...just then a firework was set off near by, this caused radh to hug the man tighter as did the man to her..they remained locked in this position for a few minutes...

Suddenly Radh came back to her senses..she realised what she was doing..she knew it wasn't Daksh but the man infront of her still took her dupatta off..and right now she was hugging him...she pushed herself away...tears were rolling down her cheeks..she had never hugged a man except her babuji..."what have I done..." she said in her thoughts....and after taking one last look at the man she ran as fast as she could...The man tried stoppping her "wait...wait..rukho..tum kahan jaari ho"..but Radh did not listen and ran away as fast as she could... The man was also about to leave when something caught his eye..he walked closer to the item and picked it up..It was a silver payal..he knew it was hers..he put it in his pocket and also on the ground lifted the pink dupatta that he had throw because it was on fire..the fire was now out. The held it in his hand and left the mandir......

Hope you liked it...can you guess who the mystery man is....😉😉😉
