Gunjan reaches ranvis house... she is excited for veeras return..
She slowly enters the door and looks around and sees ratan sitting there... and ratan notices her..
"are gunjan.. andar aaja.. wahan kyu khadi hai.. aur yeh sab kya ahi?"
Gunjan is carrying two heavy jars... she smiles and says " haan chachiji.. yeh who kuch naashta hai.. veera aayi hai na.. to maine uske waaste banaye hai"
Suddenly veera comes there and speaks up "gunjan didi... to mainu khilao na" she says in happiness and gunjan puts the jars on the table and they both hugged in delight..
Veera happily says " gunjan did dikhao to aapne kya banaya hai.. aapki haath ke bane naashte ka kya kehna"
She opens the boxes and sees lots of snacks in them.. and in one of the box is full of mathris..
Chaiji suddenly speaks up.. " are wah gunjan.. yeh to bahit saari cheesei banayi hai tune.. par jahan tak main jaanti hoon , veera ko to mathri pasand hi nahi aati.. bachpan se.. yeh to tub hi jaanto hai"
Gunjan fumbles " haan.. acha.. veera tujhe abhi bho mathri pasand nahi hai??mainu laga ki inne salo mein shaayad tujhe pasand aane lagi hogi.."
"koi gal nahi veera.. yeh sari mathri ranvi nu khila dena.. use to bahut pasand hai na"
Chaiji gives a naughty smile to veera who responds back.. gunjan seriously looks at them bit worried and thinks whether her act was caught..
Suddenly veera catches gunjans arm " chalo didi.. mere kamre mein chalet hain.. aapke waaste kuch laayi hoon"
Gunjan smiles and goes with veera...
Veera has brought a lot of things.. she opens her bag and shows her many things that she bought for the house.. then she removes a bag and gives it to gunjan " didi.. yeh salwar aapke liye"
Gunjan happily takes it and opens it.. it's a light peach colour beautiful dress .. gunjan feels bit disappointed.. " veera.. yeh salwar to wadda pyara hai.. par ae rang??tenu to pata hai mainu kiase rang pasand hai.. lal hara.."
Veera smiles " haan gunjan didi.. mainu pata hai.. aur maine bhi yahi kahan tha.. par veerji bhi na .. kehne lage yeh rang jyada accha hai.. to aakhir mein yehi lena pada mujhe"
Gunjan looks in astonishment to hear that ranvi chose it for her
aap na chinta mat kijiye.. isse apne dost nu keh kar badalwa doongi'
Veera starts taking the cover back.. but suddenly gunjan holds it back.. " are veera.. koi bat nahi.. wiase bhi na ae rang mere paas nahi hai.. main yehi rakhoongi.. ranvi keh raha tha to shaayad accha hi hoga" she says with a smile " accha chal veera main ab chalti hoon..mainu kahin jaana hai"
Gunjan walks out to leave and suddenly crosses ranvis room... she suddenly goes back near the door and sees if he is there..
But he isn't there...
So she goes inside and looks at herself in the mirror.. and starts admiring herself like a little girl.. suddenly she turns back and bumps into someone..
She could feel a masculine body to which she was holding.. slowly she lifts her eyes up to see ranvi... her heart starts to beat faster and an awkwardness surrounds her.. and she moves back and starts to go
Ranvi calls her " gunjan.. tu itthe ki kar rahi thi?"
Gunjan feels caught " who ranvi.. kuch nahi .. main to veera nu milne aayi thi.. aur yahan se guzar rahi thi to socha tujhe bhi hi shai keh doon" " hmmm.. ab mein jaa rahi hoon"
She starts to walk by ranvi fast
But suddenly he holds her arm.. gunjan feels tensed.. " ruk...' he says and turns her around
And hands over a wrapped gift to her.. gunjan is surprised and slowly takes it from him " ae ki hai ranvi?" she questions
" who tune maanga than a.. dilli se kuch lane ke waaste.. to yeh.." he says moving away from her and pointing his hand out to the gift
Gunjan takes it very happily.. its looks very strange to her.. but she quickly opens the cover and finds a recipe book in it.. gunjans eyes widen in frustration... she questions back to ranvi "ae ky hai ranvi"
he looks at her in confusion " gunjan.. naye naye vyanjan di kitaab hai.. tenu to khana banana pasand hai na.. to isme se pad kar bana sakti hai"
gunjan walks away in anger and ranvi tries to stop her " oye gunjan.. meri gal to sunn.. kya hua"
but she doesn't listen and runs away..
gunjan reaches home and goes to her room very angry... and puts all the things on the bed in irritation..
but suddenly she sees the dress that veera gave her.. and she gets a smile back on her face.. she takes it out and decides to wear it and show it to ranvi..
she gets dressed and wears matching jewellery and gets ready... and goes to the fileds to meet Ranvi..
Ranvi is very busy having a discussion with dalveer and other farmers...
Suddenly Gunjan appears at the back almost cat walking in her high heels and playing with her choti.. all the farmers and dalveer start looking at her with wide open eyes and stop listening to Ranvi..
Ranvi suddenly notices that noone is listening to him.. he gets angry.. but then he suddenly sees Gunjan walking towards them and realizes what the problem is..
He tells all of them to disperse to work and he and dalveer start walking to gunjan..
Ranvi questions Gunjan " Oye gunjan ithe ki kar rahi hai?"
Gunjan smiles at ranvi hoping that he has seen the dress she wore.. Ranvi looks at her confused and looks around to know why she is smiling.. " Gunjan... ae muskuraa kyu rahi hai.. kuch kaam tha ki"
Dalveer is giggling to himself
Gunjan gets annoyed.. " Ranvi.. tu andha ho gaya hai kya? Tenu main theek se dikhayi nahi de rahi kya?"
Ranvi is more confused " Gunjan.. tu ki keh rahi hai.. mainu nahi samjh aa raha" he says in a very soft tone
Gunjan gets confused " Ranvi.. ae... ae salwar veera mere waaste shehar se layi thin a"
Ranvi smiles at her " Acha to tu mainu ae dikhane waaste aayi hai?.. Par mainu kyu dikhana chahti hai.. Veera layi hai to use dikha de"
Gunjan is more confused now..
Ranvi continues " EK kaam kar.. Dalveer tere ghar de vahaan jar aha hai.. uske nal chali jaa.. chad dega"
Gunjan gets angry.. " Koi jaroorat nahi hai.. main akele bhi jaa sakti hoon"
She starts walking away making some faces in angst... and talks to himself " ae veera ne mujhse jhoot to nahi bola ki ranvi ne ae salwaar chuna tha mere liye"
Ranvi starts getting back to work.. but dalveer stops him to talk.. " Ranvi.. ae sahi nahi kiya tune.. kinne pyar se saj ke aayi thi tujhe dikaane ke liye.. kuch accha hi bol deta use.. mainu aisa lagta hai ko shaayad who tujhse pyar karti hai"
Ranvi smiles back at Dalveer and puts his hand on his shoulder.. " Nahi Dalveere aisa kuch nahi hai.. hum bachpan se ek dooje ko jaante hain.. aisa kuch bhi nahi hai.. aur gunjan to aisi hi hai.. thodi si kamli.."
