~ARDHIKA OS : A Time for Love~

Mehra Villa, New Delhi

Radhika chai lekar study roomme aati hain, "Arjun yeh lo tumhari green tea". Arjun laptop pe kam karte huye,"Thank you Radhika, yaha pe rakh do me pi lunga". Radhika ek bar uske taraf dekhkar, "Arjun mujhe tumse baat karni hain, wo me..." Arjun usse rokkar, "Radhika abhi nahi please hum badme baat karte hain, abhi mujhe bahot kam hain" wo apna kam continue karta hain.

Kuch time bad Arjun apne roomme aakar Radhikako awaj lagata hain, usse kuch reply nahi milta, wo hall, kitchen aur pure gharme usse dhundhta hain finally usse wo lawnme dikhti hain wo waha aakar usse peechese hug karta hain, "Kya hua darling aise itni rat yaha kyun khadi ho?"

Radhika : Kuch nahi aisehi, andar mujhe bahot bechaini ho rahi thi isliye yaha khuli hawame aayi. Ho gaya tumhara kam Arjun? Arjun uske pass bethata hain, "Haa thoda ho gaya thoda baki hain, par bahot der bethneki wajahse pithme dard ho raha tha". Radhika uske taraf dekhti hain, "Maine kaha tha na Arjun, itna kam mat karo, par tum toh mantehi nahi. Pichle bahot dinose dekh rahi hu tum bahot kam kar rahe ho". Arjun uske chintko pakadke, "Haan baba mana par kya karu itne bade bade projects aa rahe hain, toh kam bhi badh raha hain na. Achha ye sab chhodo aur batao tum uss waqt kya keh rahi thi?"

Radhika : Wo toh me bas aisehi... tabhi Arjunka phone bajta hain, phone pe baat karneke bad, "Radhika I am sorry, hum baad me baat karte hain, abhi thoda important kam hain". Wo wapas study room me jata hain. Radhika sadly smile karti hain, "Uff...yeh aur iska kam...kam ke samne Arjun sab kuch bhul jata hain...yahatak mujhe bhi..." Wo bhi andar jati hain.

Yeh hain humare protagonist couple Mr and Mrs. Arjun Mehra. Arjun Delhika ek well known Architect hain aur Radhika house wife. Arjun naturese bahot achha husband hain, bilkul waisa jaisa ek biwi chahti hain, par usme ek hi problem hain, wo kam ke samne sab bhul jata hain. Radhika bhi naturese bahot achhi ladki hain aur wo apne patise bahot pyar karti hain.

ARDHIKA ki 3 saal pehle arrenged marriage hoti hain. Shadike bad dono apni married lifeme achhese settel hote hain. Arjunko bhi bade projects milte hain aur wo Delhi ka well known architect banta hain. Aisehi kuch projects handle karte waqt wo bahot busy hota hain aur Radhika issi baatse naraj hoti hain.

Next day

Radhika uthkar sideme dekhti hain, "Yeh kal bhi soya nahi, bas ab bahot hua, ab me aur nahi dekh sakti". Wo gussese study room me aakar Arjun ko laptop pe sar rakhke sota hua dekhke usse uthati hain,"Arjun yeh kya tum kal raat bhi yaha kam karte waqt so gaye na?"

Arjun : Wo actually kab aankh lag gayi patahi nahi chala. Wo time dekhta hain. O shitt late ho gaya. Radhika me abhi ready hokar aata hu aaj mujhe jaldi jana hain. Wo apne room me jata hain. Arjun ready hokar neeche aata hain. Radhika usse b'fast deti hain, "Arjun kya hain ye sab? Mana ki tum bahot busy ho par iska matlab ye nahi ki tum apne aapka bhi khayal na rakho". Arjun irritate hokar, "Radhika please not again. Tumhe pata hain na mujhe kam karna pasand hain aur yahi mera tarika hain aur mujhe kam bhi bahot hain".

Radhika : Haan pata hain par tum toh aise kam me gadh gaye ho ki tumhe yeh bhi yaad nahi ki me bhi iss gharme hu. Pichle kuch dinose tumne mujhse ek bar bhi achhese baat nahi ki. Humesha office aur ghar aaneke bad apna laptop lekar study room me beth jate ho. Yeh galat hain.

Arjun : Radhika yeh jo kuch bhi me kar raha hu wo humare futureke liye hain na.

Radhika : Par Arjun future ke bareme soch soch ke tum apni present life kyun kharab kar rahe ho? Arjun bahot irritate hota hain, Enough Radhika, mujhe late ho raha hain, me chalta hu".

Radhika : Nahi aaj nahi. Tumhe aaj meri baat sunni padegi. Tum pehlese workholic ho Arjun par tum aise toh bilkul nahi the. Tum bahot badal gaye ho Arjun.

Arjun : Bas karo Radhika, me badal gaya hu na toh thik hain, par tum bhi wo Radhika nahi ho jisse me janta tha. Ab mera raasta chhodo mujhe late ho raha hain. Wo gussese office jata hain. Radhikabhi bahot gussa hoti hain, "Thik hain ab agar isse meri jarurat hi nahi hain toh me yaha ruk kar kya karu? Me bhi nahi rukungi" wo apna saman lekar maykeme jati hain.

Shamko Arjun ghar jaldi aata hain. Usse ghar lock dikhta hain, wo lock kholkar andar aata hain. Usse Tipoy pe Radhikaka khat milta hain jisme wo maykeme janeke bareme likhti hain. Arjun khat padhke gussa hota hain,"Mana ki mujhse galti hui par iska matlab yeh nahi ki wo aise chali jaye. Usse bhi yeh samjhna chahiye ki me jo ye kar raha hu wo humareliye hi kar raha hu". Wo Radhikako phone dial karta hain par cut karta hain, "Nahi me phone nahi karunga, wo gayi hain ghar chodkar maine nahi kaha tha usse, me phone nahi karunga". Wo apne roomme jata hain.

At Radhika's Mayka, Radhika's room

"Samjhta kya hain wo apne aapko, mana ki kam karna jaruri hain par iska matlab yeh toh nahi na ki gharke logonkobhi bhul jao. Aaj maine usse kuch baat karneki koshish ki toh uske pass mere liye time hi nahi tha huhh.." Wo Arjunke photo ki taraf dekhti hain, "Tumhare pass time nahi hain na toh mere pass bhi nahi hain samjhe tum Mr. Arjun Mehra". Wo hallme jati hain.

Rohan (Radhika's brother) officese aata hain, "Are Radhika tum kab aayi? Humare jijaji bhi aaye hain?"

Radhika : Nahi me akeli aayi hu. Wo kyun aayega yaha pe? Uske pass time hi kaha hain. Wo gussese wahase jati hain. Shraddha (Rohan's wife) uske liye pani lati hain. Sharu, Radhikako kya hua?

Shraddha : Kuch nahi wo Arjunse naraj hokar aayi hain, tum fikar mat karo me samjhati hu usse.

Radhika apne room me aakar ghadi dekhti hain, "9.30 baj gaye Arjun aaya hoga abhi, usse bahot bhuk lagi hogi, me abhi usse puchti hu khana khaya ya nahi" Wo phone karne lagti hain, "Nahi me nahi karungi, kyun karu me phone? Usse meri nahi padi toh mujhe bhi nahi padi uski". Wo ek bar phone ki taraf dekhti hain, "Par me biwi hu na uski, mujhe uski parwah toh hain na, Nahi par chahe kuch bhi ho jaye, me usse phone nahi karungi". Wo gusse se bed pe phone rakhke balconyme aati hain. Shraddha aur Rohan uske roomke baharse yeh sab dekh rahe the. Rohan jorse hasta hain, Shraddha usse roomme lati hain. Rohan jorse haskar, "Oh god kaisi hain meri behen! apne patise dhangse narajbhi nahi ho pati. Sharu dekhana tumne bechari phone toh karna chahti hain par kar bhi nahi paa rahi".

Shraddha : Haan dekha, par Rohan tum sare mard ek jaise hote ho, itnasa kam ka pressure badh jata hain toh baki sab bhul jate ho. Yeh thik nahi hain na.

Rohan : Mana ki hum kam me gadh jate hain, par tum biwiya bhi kum nahi ho, jara jarasi batpe muh phulati ho, naraj ho jati ho. Waise abhi hume Radhika Arjun ke bareme sochna chahiye warna aise naa ho unke bareme sochte sochte hum dono jhagda shuru kar de aur dono haste hain. Raatme ARDHIKA dono ek dusreke bareme sochte hain par dono ke ego unko phone karnese rokte hain.

Next Day

Radhikake galonpe Arjun kiss karta hain. "Darling hubby tum itni jaldi uth gaye". Wo apni aankhe kholke Arjunko kiss karti hain. "Good morning darling Wiffy", Arjun usse kiss karta hain. Radhika usse hug karne uthati hain aur dekhti hain ki waha koi nahi hain. Wo ek bar roomme dekhti hain, "Oh yeh mera sapna tha", usse realise hota hain ki wo ratbhar Arjunke photo ko hug karke soyi thi.

At Mehra Villa

Arjun ready hokar Radhikako awaj deta hain, "Radhika, please meri file dona dhundhkar, mil nahi rahi, Radhika..." Wo neeche hall me aata hain. Radhika uske taraf gusse se dekhti hain, "Kya hua Arjun kyun chilla rahe ho?"

Arjun : Wo meri file nahi mil rahi, dhundhke dona please.

Radhika : Off oh tum aur tumhari file. Yeh kya yahi toh hain. Wo usse tipoy ke neechese file deti hain. Arjun usse hug karta hain, "Thanks darling" tabhi door bell bajti hain, Arjun udhar disappoint hokar dekhta hain, "Yeh door bell bhi na mauka dekh kar bajti hain, tum chhodo wiffy" aur wo dekhta hain waha Radhika nahi hoti. Arjun embrass hokar darwaja kholne jata hain.

Pura din Arjun ka kisi bhi kam me man nahi lagta. Radhika apna mind divert karne market jati hain. Ghar aaneke bad wo phone dekhti hain, "Arjunne pure dinme ek baar bhi phone nahi kiya, iska matlab me uskeliye kuch nahi hu". Wo terrece pe aakar aasmanme dekhti hain. Shraddha uske sath bate karne upar aati hain, "Kya hua Radhika? Tum yaha kyun khadi ho?"

Radhika : Kuch nahi bhabhi wo toh bas aisehi.

Shraddha : Arjunse baat ki?

Radhika : Nahi aur me karungibhi nahi. Pata hain bhabhi kal aur aaj in pure do dinome usne ek bar bhi mujhe phone nahi kiya aur nahi koi message kiya. Agar wo mujhe miss nahi karta toh me bhi nahi karti usse miss.

Shraddha : Toh tumne bhi kaha kiya usse phone?

Radhika : Haan maine bhi nahi kiya par me toh usse naraj hokar aayi hu na toh yeh uski duty hain mujhe manane ki.

Shraddha : Haan yeh baat bhi sahi hain. Waise yeh sab chhodo, tumhe pata hain aaj punam ki raat hain.

Radhika : Haan bhabhi aur aapko pata hain aisi punamki raatme Arjunne mujhe shadika propose kiya tha. Me uss raatko kabhi bhul nahi sakti.

"Aur me bhi". Radhika jerkse peeche dekhti hain. "Kya hua aise shock kyun hui tum Radhika?"Shraddha uske pass aati hain.

Radhika : Bhabhi aapne Arjun ki awaj suni?

Shraddha : Arjun? Wo yaha kaise aa sakta hain? Wo toh abhi apne ghar hoga na.

Radhika : Haan, par abhi maine uski awaj suni thi.

Shraddha : Lagta hain tumhe wehem hua tha. Chalo dinnerka time hua hain me neeche jati hu tum bhi jaldise neeche aana.

Shraddha janeke bad Radhika aasmanme dekhti hain, "Kitne achhe khoobsurat din the na wo, me aur Arjun kitni masti karte the, aur aisi punamki raat humne first kiss kiya tha..." uski aankhome pani aata hain, "Par ab Arjun wo pehlewala Arjun nahi raha, wo pura badal gaya hain". "Me pehle jaisahi hu Radhika". Radhika jerkse peeche dekhti hain, "Arjun tum??? Nahi tum nahi ho sakte. Yeh mera wehem hain". Arjun uske pass aata hain, "Nahi ye tumhara wehem nahi hain. Dekho me sachme yaha hu". Radhika gusse se turn hoti hain, "Tum yaha kyun aaye ho? Tumhe time mil gaya?" Arjun usse peechese hug karke sar uske kandhepe rakhta hain, "Oh toh meri wiffy darling ab tak mujhse naraj hain. I am sorry biwi. Please mujhe maaf kardo. Me manta hu mujhse galti hui, please maf kardo". Radhika usse dur jati hain, "Nahi bilkul nahi. Tum abhi sorry kahoge aur wapas kam me busy rahoge".

Arjun : Nahi. I promice me ab gharpe jyada kam nahi karunga. Pakkawala promice aur pata hain me tumhare liye kuch laya hu.

Radhika : Kya laye ho? Arjun usse ek envelope deta hain. Ye kya hain? Wo envelope kholti hain usme usse planeki do tickets milti hain. Yeh kya plane ki tickets?

Arjun : Haan wo me bahot dinose kam me busy tha na isliye tumhe time nahi de paya, isliye ye chutti ka plan kiya hain. Hum 15 dinoke liye bahar Europe ghumne jayenge aur wahape me tumhara sara gussa utar dunga. Wo wink karta hain. Radhika sharmati hain par wo apna chehra straight rakhti hain "Aur yaha aaneke bad wapas kam me busy rahoge right?"

Arjun : Wrong, me ab gharme bilkul kam nahi karunga, mera sara waqt sirf aur sirf tumhara hoga.

Radhika : Sachhi? Arjun usse galpe kiss karta hain, "Mucchi". Radhika usse hug karti hain, "Pata hain Arjun, mujhe tumhare gharpe kam karnese koi problem nahi hain, par tumhare kam karneke tarikese problem hain.

Arjun : I am sorry. Ab me tumhe ye keheneka mauka wapas nahi dunga aur agar tumhe laga ki me wapas kam me gadh gaya hu toh aakar mera laptop band kar dena. Radhika iss baatpe hasti hain, "Haan wo toh me karungi hi, aur waise bhi me nahi chahti mera honewala bachha bhi uske baap ki tarah workholic bane.

Arjun : Haan toh bilkul nahi...ek...ek minute kya kaha tumne? Honewala bachha matlab?

Radhika : Ab bhi nahi samjhe buddu? Sari baate khulkar batani padti hain na. Arjun, I am pregnant. Tum papa banane wale ho.

Arjun : Kya kaha tumne? Me papa bananewala hu...you mean baby...Radhika sharmakar sar hilati hain. Arjun usse uthane lagta hain, "Oops...sorry yeh nahi..."wo usse hug karta hain."Thanks...thanks a lot Radhika. Dekhna tum ab me pura dhyan tum par hi dunga. Tumhara aur apne bachheka pura dhyan rakhunga. Wo apne ghutnope bethkar Radhikake wombpe kiss karta hain. Hello baby, ab tum jaldise aana fir hum dono mummako bahot satayenge aur usse bahot pyar bhi karenge. Wo wapas wombpe kiss karta hain. Dekhna Radhika yeh bilkul mere jaisa banega par haan workholic nahi banega. Radhika has kar usse hug karti hain, "I love you Arjun". Arjun usse tightly hug karta hain, "I love you too".
