Part 1
Baldev had planned everything in detail for the New Year bash for Karan. He has left no stone unturned to make this celebration a dhamakedaar one, Bottle shottle, daaru waaru, aur raat bhar jashan were on the cards for the next day. Baldev gave a last look at the arrangements and he knew this would be perfect. A perfect path is getting laid down for his dream journey to become the Sarpanch... Baldev had a smile on his face, he thought, "Nikal padd Baldevaa, teri vadde vadde sapne ab sach honi hai... Preetampurawaalon tayyar rehana Baldevapura di kamaal dekhne ke liye..."
Baldev finally reached back home. It was indeed a long day, still strangely today he was not fully worn out. Then he remembered, "Tabhi toh, aaj toh wohh junglee Billi se toh mila nahi hoon na, iss liye mujh mein abhi bhi inni taakath hai... warna aaj kal uske saath bhaagna bhagaane mein hi saara waqat nikalta hai..." Baldev plunged into the bed with the thoughts of Veera, "Kal bhi mainu wohh Kamli ko door rakhna hai wohh Karan se... Nahi nahi mujhse... Nahi Karan se hi door rakhna hai, warna mere saare mehanat ko mitti miiti kar deni hai wohh ladki..." Baldev was a bit perplexed whether he needs to keep Karan away from Veera or he should stay away from the museebat.
Baldev slowly closed his eyes and got ready to drift into his world... Or rather her world, their world... In their land, she is sweet, has mesmerizing eyes and a pensive smile... At many a times he would wake up at the middle of night wondering, who is this stranger girl, who captivated his dreams... He has never seen her face and now he has given up the hope of seeing her... She haunted him... In the day lights it is Veera and in the dark this stranger girl had him tied down... Now his life seems to be a constant race to conquer the heart of this sweet dream girl and smash the dreams of the other in the direst manner...His life seems to have only two passions - one to love his dream girl to the core and other to hate Veera beyond the stretch of imagination...
Baldev was checking the last minute decoration of the jalsa... There was lots of noise and commotion around him.., Still he could hear a jingling of her anklets.. His heart was shouting him to turn around, but the saner part of his mind yelled no Baldev don't turn, let your dream girl walk to you, let her reach out to you... There was a tug of war going on in his mind... He just wanted to have a glimpse of her and he felt he could live his whole life in that moment... Not tonight... He wouldn't let her vanish into thin air... She cannot be a mirage... She is his only oasis, in his otherwise uneventful life... He needs her like the first drop of rain on the parched land, like the first blossom of the spring, like the first ray of sunshine on a winter morning... He waited patiently... Baldev thought, "Uski ghungroo ki awaaz mainu bula raha hai... Mein ki karra... Uski chudiyon ki ghan ghan ne mere dil mein halla machake rakha hai..." Then a gentle breeze swept across him bringing her fragrance to him..Baldev took in her sweet scent, "Yeh khushboo inni jaani pehchaani kyon hai..." Her fragrance was so irresistible that he turned to her... There she stood... With Colourful Shoes ..."Wohh rang virangi joottiyaan jaise saari rangon di jaan ho..." The beautiful anklets adorning her feet "Jaise saari duniyaa di hassi aur khushi uski kadmon mein ho..." In an angelic white kurta, "Jaise chaandni ki raaz ho..." Her hair was fluttering in the breeze, "Jaise resham si dhaag ho..." Finally he slowly tilted his face to see his dream girl, his anchor, his heartbeat... When Baldev looked at her, it was as if the time has frozen... Everything else seemed like an illusion... Only she was real... The biggest truth in his life... The one and only girl he ever loved and he ever hated... VEERA...
There she stood smiling "Ki hoya Baldevaa jhatka laga, kyon??" The impact of his dream was so big that he shuddered and fell from the bed... Baldev could not digest his dream... "Yeh ki hoya mainu... Bhootni din raat jab dekho mere piche padti rendhi hai..." He was sure that comparing his dream girl and Veera were like comparing apples and oranges... He got up from the bed cursing Veera, "Yeh ab sapne mein bhi kaatt thi hai... Chipku kahiki... Chaddne ka naam hi nahi le rahi hai.." Baldev just prayed... "Aaj mainu uss museebat se door rakhna... Warna mera jalsa ka toh satyanaash honi hai..."
