The Concluding Part
"Kyun main yahan nahi ho sakti?"
"Ho sakti ho but..." He paused, "To tum Shekhawat ho I mean jeeju ki behan."
"Right." She said smiling.
Mrityunjay and Tara were totally confused now and giving them weird looks which was soon noticed by Bunty and Vasu. Vasu said, "Bhai itne confuse mat ho aap. Actually graduation ke baad ki job aur MBA ki internship dono maine us company se hi ki hai jahan yeh kaam karte hain."
Mrityunjay smiled, "Ok vahi main soch raha tha tum dono kab mile?"
Later Bunty came to Vasu's room. "Tum janti thi?"
"Yeah..." she replied.
"Kitne time se?"
"Abhi kuch dino pehle se. You remember the moment you told me that your sister and your jeeju is still alive and showed me their pics?" He nodded, "From that time I knew but maine socha I will give you a surprise."
Bunty smiled, "To what say should we talk to them?"
"Not now. Let the right time come." Vasu said.
One week later:-
Tara was doing all the preparations for Bunty's departure as he had to go that day and she was feeling sick and had thrown up a few times since the morning. Once more she felt sick and rushed to the washroom.
"Kya hua bhabhi?" Vasu asked concerned. "Subah se dekh rahi hoon aap ki tabiyat kuch theek nahi lag rahi hai."
"Pata nahi Vasu kya hua hai. Kal se bus chakkar aa rahe hain aur ulti ho rahi hai." She said splashing water on her face.
Dai Jaan who was standing there smiled, "Bahu Rani aap ko aaram karna chahiye is halat mein."
"Nahi Dai Jaa agar main aaram karne lagoongi to Bunty ke jane ki preparations kaun karega?"
"Woh main kar loongi, bus aap batate jao."
"Nahi Dai Jaan main aap ke uper sab nahi chhod sakti. Aap ab itne bhi young nahi reh gayi hain."
Dai Jaan smiled, "Kabhi kabhi lagta hai ki maine tum ko sahi se na samajh ke bahut badi galti ki Bahu Rani."
"Are chhodiye na Dai Jaan yeh sab..jo beet gaya woh baat gayi. Agar beeti baaton ko apne aaj ki zindagi mein peeche nahi chhoda to..."
"Kya kiya.." Mrityunjay entered smiling and completing her words.
"Are aap kab aaye?"
"Bus abhi jab tum apni health ko ignore kar ke saare kaamo mein busy thi aur Bunty ko wapas bhejne ki taiyari kar rahi thi."
"Kya karoon jana hi hai us ko. Kaash main us ko rok paati." She said sadly.
"Ek idea hai mere pass." Mrityunjay said.
"Kya?"
"Agar hume Bunty ko yahin rokna hai to hum us ko yahin job dila sakte hain na?"
"Woh itni jaldi kahan milegi?"
"Mil gayi hai." And he handed her an envelope and indicated to Tara to read the letter in it. Tara took out the letter and read it and smiled.
"To is mein likha hai ke Bunty ab Shekhawat Group of Industries ke saath kaam karega.." she said smiling but soon realized what would be Bunty's reaction about it. "Tum ko lagta hai ki Bunty maanega is ke liye?"
Mrityunjay smiled and said winking, "Jab us ki behan ko pata liya to Bunty ko bhi pata loonga."
"Tum bahut acche ho Mrityunjay.." and hugged him. Vasu and Dai Jaan too were happy about it.
Mrityunjay smiled, "Anything for you Tara."
Later that day:-
"Jeeju yeh nahi ho sakta."
"Kyoun nahi ho sakta?"
"Kyounki main nahi chahta ki aap mere aur aap ke relationship ki wajah se mujhe koi offer de."
"Tu pagal hai kya Bunty...aisa kuch nahi hai. Mrityunjay tujhe yeh job teri kabiliyat ki wajah se de rahe hain."
"Phir bhi Faltoo log kya kahenge?"
"Kuch nahi kahenge. Your degree itself is enough to prove your capability and now you have sufficient experience as well." Mrityunjay reasoned.
Bunty was thinking about it. "Kya soch raha hai sahi hai yeh?"
"Tara us ko sochne do na don't force him for anything."
Tara kept silent. Vasu came there as well and Bunty looked at her and she signalled an approval which was noticed by Tara. She found something fishy. 'Yeh Vasu Bunty ko kya ishara kar rahi hai?'
"Theek hai jeeju." He replied. "Phir bhi mujhe aaj jana hoga jis se main officially wahan se resign kar doon aur baki dues and all clear kar doon."
"Perfectly fine." He said and congratulated him.
Tara was happy as well but she thought, 'Are waah mere kehne par to nahi mana ab Vasu ne ishara kar dia to maan gaya. Akhir khichdi kya pak rahi hai in dono me pata lagana hoga.'
"To time for lunch", and Mrityunjay turned to Tara, "Chalein." Tara was still in deep thought.
"Kya soch rahi ho Tara?" he asked.
"Kuch nahi. Bus abhi lagati hoon sab ke liye lunch." And as soon as she turned, her head spun and she fainted.
"Tara," Mrityunjay shouted and rushed to her and held her in his arms before she fell down.
.
Mrityunjay called his doctor and he came and checked her. "Subah se kuch khaya tha ki nahi inhone?" The doctor enquired from Mrityunjay.
"Breakfast to kiya tha."
Dai Jaan added, "Par Bahu Rani ko kal raat se chakkar aur ultiyan bhi aa rahi hain."
Doctor again got busy in his usual check up. After a few more minutes, "Mrityunjay ek good news hai."
"Kya doctor?" he was still concerned about Tara and that was why he didn't pay attention to the words good news.
"Aap papa ban ne waale ho."
Mrityunjay looked at the doctor in awe as if he was unable to believe it. He took a couple of minutes to get what the doctor said, "Kya?"
"Yes...jahan tak mujhe lag raha hai she is two months pregnant."
He was overjoyed now, "Sach doctor."
"Haan..." And in his happiness, he hugged the doctor. Vasu, Dai Jaan and Bunty laughed at his excitement. The doctor smiled too.
"Pata hai doctor aap ne mujhe kitne badi khush khabri di hai...I feel like dancing."
Everyone laughed again, "Ab kal Tara ko le kar clinic aa jana kuch tests karane hain."
"Sure doctor."
After the doctor's exit, Tara regained her senses and found Mrityunjay standing near her, patting her head and smiling. "Mrityunjay kya hua tha mujhe?"
"Wahi jo hona chahiye tha."
"Kya hona chahiye tha?" She was confused.
"You know Tara how much I wished to start a family with you." Tara nodded, "Aur jab Pari aayi to humari family half complete ho gayi thi na?" He said lying in her lap. "Par ab meri cricket team start hone waali hai." He said completing his statement.
"Kya Mrityunjay yeh kya paheliyan bujha rahe ho.." But soon she realized what he said. "Is ka matlab...?"
"Haan Tara...hum dono maa papa ban ne waale hain." Mrityunjay completed it and got up from her lap and Tara hugged him in excitement. "Aur ab se tum apna poora khayal rakhogi samjhi. Ab se no more ghar ka kaam aur sirf aur sirf aaram."
"Are to kaun karega yeh sab kaam?"
"Hum do aur servants rakh lenge but no more stress and try to be happy and keep smiling always." Tara gave a big smile in return.
After three months:-
"Bhai hum dono ko aap ko kuch batana tha." Vasu said entering in Mrityunjay's room with Bunty. Tara was in their room as well.
"Haan Moti bol, is everything fine?" Mrityunjay asked concerned.
"Bhai I don't think hume baat ghuma fira ke karni chahiye. Hum dono ek doosre se pyaar karte hain aur shaadi karna chahte hain."
Mrityunjay was shocked and Tara was smiling. She thought in her mind, 'To mera sochna sahi tha.' Mrityunjay gave an angry look to Vasu and Bunty.
"Yeh kya hai Vasu?"
"I know jeeju aap gussa honge par..."
"Ek minute...main apni behan se baat kar raha hoon." He said pointing at Vasu.
Tara was surprised to see him in anger. "Mrityunjay meri baat suno..." but he didn't let her finish.
"Ek minute Tara mujhe apni behan se baat karne do."
Mrityunjay took her to his dark room and had a long talk with Vasu. Bunty and Tara were damn worried and Bunty was pacing in the room here and there. "Shaant ho ja Bunty sab theek ho jayega." Mrityunjay came into the room with Vasu. He went to Bunty.
"Aaj tak meri behan ne aisa kuch mujh se nahi manga jo main us ko de nahi paaya hoon. Use duniya ki har vo khushi mili hai jo us ne chahi. Par aaj usne mujh se jo maanga hai woh us ko dene mein na sirf mujhe khushi hogi balki garv bhi mehsoos hoga. Shayad tum se accha ladka meri Moti ko kabhi mil hi nahi sakta tha."
Tara smiled and so did Vasu, "Thank you jeeju."
"Thank you nahi tum ko mujh se vada karna hoga ki meri behan ko humesha khush rakhoge aur kabhi iski aakhon me koi bhi ansoon nahi aayega tumhari vajah se."
"Main aap se vada karta hoon Jeeju." And Mrityunjay hugged him. Vasu and Tara smiled.
"Par ek baat hai shaadi abhi nahi."
"Ye kyoun?" Tara asked Mrityunjay.
"Woh isliye Golu ki maa kyounki abhi humara Golu aane waala hai aur main nahi chahta hoon ki is wajah se tum pe koi stress pade."
"Yeh sahi hai bhai." Vasu said.
Four months later:-
"Congratulations Mr. Shekhawat aap ki wife ne bete ko janam diya hai."
"I knew...I knew...", he was damn excited and jumped in excitement. "Main...main baap ban gaya." He hugged Bunty in excitement.
"Congratulations jeeju..." he hugged him back.
"Tum bhi mama ban gaye."
"Congratulations bhai.." Vasu came bringing Pari with her.
"Pari beta...tumhare liye bhai aa gaya."
"Are waah...kahan hai mera bhai mujhe us ko dekhna hai." She said happily and excitedly.
"Nurse can we go inside?" he asked the Nurse.
"Haan bilkul." And he took Pari with him inside. Tara was lying with her eyes closed and Mrityunjay smiled looking at her.
"Woh dekho Pari tumhara bhai." Pari and Mrityunjay went in that direction.
"Are waah mera bhai...par yeh to abhi bahut chhota hai na dad."
"Haan par jab bada ho jayega tum is ke saath khelna tab."
"Haan." And she got busy with her bhai. Mrityunjay turned to Tara who was watching him and Pari and adoring them.
"To finally aap Golu ki maa ban gayi na?" Tara smiled and said, "Haan Golu ke papa." And Mrityunjay kissed her forehead.
After six months:-
Shekhawat Villa was decorated beautifully just like a bride which it should be after all it was Jairaj Shekhawat's dear daughter and Mrityunjay Shekhawat's dear sister who was getting married that day. The grand reception was going to be held in Shekhawat Mansion's lawn. Baaraat had reached and after performing all the rituals of Bunty's family Tara was now doing all the rituals of Mrityunjay's family. The marriage was gracious and everyone who attended the Shekhawat wedding was just praising it. Mrityunjay finally made Bunty agree to stay with them and after a lot persuading, he agreed. The bride and the groom were looking just beautiful and lovely. Mrityunjay was happy to see Vasu happy and so was Tara to see Bunty.
Next day morning:-
"Kya soch rahe ho Mrityunjay?"
"Soch raha hoon ab jaa ke meri saari responsibilities poori ho gayi hain. I am tension free and satisfied."
"Woh to hai, aur accha hi kiya tum ne Bunty aur Vasu ko yahan rehne ke liye kaha akhir ab koi to hoga itne bade ghar mein mere saath."
"Tumhare saath apna Golu bhi to hai na. Pari pehle se hi thi yahan." He said looking at Golu who was in his cradle sleeping peacefully.
"Haan ab jaa ke lag raha hai apni family poori ho gayi hai." She said.
"Abhi kahan? Abhi humari cricket team baki hai." He said winking at her.
"Mrityunjay tum bhi na." She smiled hugging him and he too hugged her back.
