It was now morning and there was something different about it...it seemed like a new morning...a complete fresh start...lets see what this day has in store for Sujal and Kashish..Sujal and Angad were waiting at the registry office...they had been inside and spoke to the judge and now they were waiting for Kashish to arrive...Sujal was walking backwards and forwards whilst looking out for Kashish and Angad was just watching him...when finally Sujal saw Kashish climbing the steps with Kripa...she was wearing a simple red shalwar kameez looking beautiful and her eyes were lowered,when she lifted her eyes and saw Sujal...she continued to walk up the stairs towards him...

Kashish: I am sorry........woh raste me traffic ki waje dair ho gayi............

Sujal: its ok...ismein maafi maangne ki zaroorat nahin...tumhe aane me koi takleef to nahin huyi?

Kashish: nahi...........ab andar chale.........dair ho rahi hai........

Sujal: haan chalo...

Sujal starts walking beside Kashish and Angad and Kripa walked up behind them...they went inside and Sujal knocked on the door...

Judge: come in...

Sujal opened the door and they all walked in...

Judge: oh Mr Garewal aap...aaiye bethiye...aur aap dono me se Miss Kashish Nandini Roy kaun hai?

He said looking at both Kashish and Kripa..

Kashish: jee main..........Main Kashish Nandini Roy.........

Judge: ok Miss Roy...aap please yahan tashreef rakhiye...

Kashish walks forward and Sujal pulls a chair out for her...she looks at him and then sits down and he sits beside her...the Judge then looks at Kripa and Angad...

Judge: aap bhi yahan aaiye...aapke signatures ki zaroorat hogi...witness ke taur par..

Angad and Kripa both stood behind Sujal and Kashish.............

Judge: Mr.Garewal aap ple yaha sign kar dijiye........

Sujal signs where he showed to do...........than Judge looked at Kashish.......

Judge: ab aap bhi Mr.Garewal ki sign ke pass me hi Sign kar djiye.......

Kashish took the pen from Sujal and looked at him and than she signed the paper.............Judge than told Angad and Kripa to sign as witness..........They both sign the papers ...........The judge takes the papers and checks them...he then signed below to confirm it and then looked at them with a smile..

Judge: mubarak ho Mr.and Mrs.Garewal...aajse aap pati patni huye...

Sujal: Thank you so much.........ab hum log bhi nikalte hai........chale Kashish........

Kashish: hmm...........

Kashish looks at the judge........

Kashish: Thank you.........

Judge: you welcome ...........kya baat hai Mrs Kashish...aapko kuch kehna hai?

Kashish: kuch nahi........

Kashish looks at Sujal and than stands up and went outside and Sujal followed her with Angad and Kripa.............They saw her standing outside........Sujal went closer to her and stood beside her..........Kripa and Angad just looking at them.......

Kripa: Angad woh maine tumhe jo lane ko kaha tha woh tum laye.........

Angad serarched his pockets and than he took something and looked at Kripa.......

Angad: ise main kaise bhul sakta hoon.......ab jiska hai use dede....

Kripa: hmm........

Angad and Kripa walks toward them and Kripa holds Sujal's hand and than puts mangalsutra on his palm..........

Kripa: abhi iske bina yeh shaadi adhuri hai.........

Sujal gently walks up behind Kashish holding the mangalsutr...

Sujal: Kashish...

Kashish: hmm........kuch kehna hai...............

Sujal: woh...actually main yeh...mera matlab hai main yeh mangalsutr leke aaya tha...agar tumhe koi aitraaz na ho to kya main tumhe yeh pehna sakta hoon?..tum chaho to khud pehan sakti ho...its ok

Kashish: Sujal.........hamari abhi abhi shaadi huyi hai........aap jo chahe woh apni marzi se kar sakte hai main kabhi aapko rokungi nahi.............aap muje yeh mangalsutra pehnna chahte hai main aapko mana nahi karungi...........

Sujal: main jaanta hoon ki hamari shaadi ho chuki hai lekin aaj bhi kuch nahin badala...hum pati patni zaroor hain lekin aaj bhi tumhe khud faisle lene ka pura haq hai...hamare rishte me koi chota bada ya kamzor nahin hoga...hum dono barabar hain aur tumhari ijazat ke binna me koi bhi kadam nahin uthaunga...

Kashish: aaj Mom hoti to woh bhi yahi chahti ki aap muje yeh mangalsutra pehna de.........is liye muje koi aitraaz nahi...............

she just lowers her eyes waiting for Sujal .......... Sujal moves forward and he slowly places the mangalsutr around her neck...he gently moved her hair aside and bent a little forward to fasten the clasp...he just moved back and looked at her...

Sujal: ghar chalen?

Kashish: haa.........chalo...........

Kashish looks at him and than starts to climb down the steps towards his car.........

Angad: Sujal tum Kashish ko lekar chalo...hum dusri gaari lekar aate hain...

Sujal: theek hai...bye..

Sujal walks down after Kashish and then opens the car...he went to her side and opened the door for her...she just looked at him and then sat inside...he closed the door and came to his side...he sat down and looked at her for a moment and then he drove off...

****************************************************************************

After some time,Sujal and Kashish reached Garewal mansion...Sujal parked the car in the driveway..they got out of the car and started walking towards the house... Kashish just stood their in the way and looked up at the house as she still wasnt believing that she is married and standing outside to her husband;s house............

Sujal noticed her looking at the house...

Sujal: ghaur se dekhlo is ghar ko...aaj se yeh ghar jitna mera hai utna hi tumhara

Kashish: Its really beautiful.........kuch khaas baat hai is ghar me jo ise auro se alag banata hai......

Sujal: abhi to tumne sirf bahar se dekha hai...i'm sure andar jaogi to aur bhi khaas lagega...yeh ghar mere liye bohat mayne rakhta hai...khud ki mehnat aur kamai se jo banwaya hai maine isse.......

Kashish: main samaj sakti hoon ki yeh ghar se aapke kitne sapne hai..........ab andar chale........

Sujal: haan chalo...

They started to walk towards the door and Sujal unlocked it...he moved aside and signed her to walk in...she looked at him for a moment and then took her first step inside...as she stepped in she experienced such a warm feeling...it didn't feel like it was the first time she came in...she was just admiring the beauty of the house...it was a grand house but still so cosy and warm...everything was perfect from the color co-ordination to the furniture and ornaments...it was just simply beautiful...Kashish looked at Sujal........

Kashish: aapka ghar wake me andar se aur bhi jyada khubsurat hai.........aapne sahi kaha tha ki yeh baki se alag hai............

Sujal: ab tak to yeh sirf ek makaan tha lekin tumhare aane se yeh ghar bangaya hai...by the way welcome...aaj se yeh ghar jitna mera hai utna tumhara isliye please feel comfortable...tumhe koi bhi cheez chahiye ho to bejhijak mujse kehdena..........

Kashish: ab aapne ise mera ghar bana hi diya hai to muje kisi cheez ki zaroorat kaise ho sakti hai kyunki yaha pe sabkuch pehle se hi lekin aapne mere liye itna socha wahi kafi hai......Thanks for your concern Sujal................

She tried to look upstairs trying to avoid eye contact with Sujal...........

Sujal: thanks ki koi zaroorat nahin hai...aur maine kaha tha na apno ko thanks nahin kehte...waise tum ghar dekhna chahogi?

Kashish: agar aap dikhayenge to zaroor aur main aapko thanks nahi kar sakti usi tarah aap bhi muje thanks na kahe to jyada behtar hai.......

Sujal just passes a cute smile..

Sujal: thik hai...aaj se hum dono ke beech yeh thanks shabd istemaal nahin hoga...aao main tumhe ghar dikhata hoon...

Kashish looks at him and then follows him into the lounge...it had 3 big sofas and a glass table in the centre...there was a widescreen plasma tv fitted in the wall infront with cinema surround...

Sujal: yeh raha lounge area...agar koi guests aaen to unhe yahan bithata hoon...aur yahan pe tv to fitted hai par dekhne ka waqt nahin milta hai...

Kashish: woh main janti hoon lekin aapse ek sawaal karon..........main to her waqt apne kaam me hoti hoon is liye waqt nahi milta lekin aap to hamesha se hi business aur uski parties se durr rehte hai to phir aap apna waqt kise dete hai........

Sujal: woh...actually muje painting ka bohat shauq hai to isliye main apne free time me painting karta hoon

Kashish: painting ............interstring......kya aapki koi painting is waqt ghar pe ........I mean main dekhna pasand karungi.........

Sujal: haan upar ek kamra hai jisme meri saari paintings hain...lekin ek painting hai jo mere dil ke bohat kareeb hai...usse main apne kamre me rakhta hoon..

Kashish: kya main woh special painting dekh sakti hoon agar aap ko koi problem na ho to.......

Sujal: zaroor dekh sakti ho...lekin ek shart pe.

Kashish: hmm..........kaisi shart ........main kuch samji nahi.....

Sujal: tum muje har baat ke liye ijazat nahin mangogi...yeh hai meri shart...agar tumhe kuch chahiye to tum haq se maangogi...hamare beech in formalities ki zaroorat nahin hai...

Kashish: thik hai muje aapki yeh shart manzur hai lekin meri bhi ek shart hai.........

Sujal: kaisi shart?

Kashish: aap meri waje se apni zindagi nahi badalenge..........aap waise hi jiyenge jaisa aap hamesha se jite the........kyunki koi mere liye apni zindagi badle yeh muje pasand nahi................

Sujal: theek hai...agar tum yahin chahti ho to bilkul aisa hi hoga...lekin yeh baat tumpe bhi zaahir hoti hai...main nahin chahta tum kissi ke bhi liye khud ko badlo...tum bilkul waise apni zindagi ji sakti ho jaise tum chahti ho...kyunki mera maan na hai ke har insaan ko waise hi jeena chahiye jaise woh chahe...

Kashish: lekin kabhi kabhi halat itne badal jate hai ki hume apni marzi ke khilaf unke aage jukna padta hai..............khiar kya ab hum woh painting dekhne chale.........

Kashish walked out of the lounge and standed at the stairs waiting for him.....Sujal just looked at her for a moment and then walked up towards the stairs whilst she followed him still looking around the house...Sujal went towards his room and opened the door wide...he walked in and she followed him inside...she was totally mesmerised by the beauty of the room...the room itself was white everywhere......three of the walls were painted with the purest white and the remaining wall was painted rose red....a huge white four poster bed was set in the center..... beautiful red curtains surrounded the edges of the bed.........there was an exquiste white dresser on the side of the bed with big red frames mirror and an enormous white closet covering almost a full side of a wall...the window had red curtains..near it was a little seating area and there was a white desk near the door.......Kashish looked around the room when her eyes fall on the painting........................Kashish walks toward the painting and Sujal followed him.......Kashish removed the red dupatta from the painting and was lost in the beauty of the painting..........

Kashish: its really beautiful...........lekin yeh kisski tasvir hai........chehra to chupaya hua hai..

Sujal: yeh tasveer maine apni kalpana se banayi thi...us waqt woh chehra mere liye anjaan tha...isi liye is tasveer me maine chehra chupaya hua hai kyunki tab main khud nahin jaanta tha ki us insaan ka chehra kaisa hoga...

Kashish: aur yeh dupatta..........I mean is painting me bhi yahi lal dupatta hai..........

Sujal: laal rang muje sabse zyada pasand hai kyunki woh rang pyar ka rang hai...yeh dupatta maine Shimla se liya tha jab main wahan meeting ke liye gaya tha...aur wahan raaste me dekha to mujse raha nahin gaya aur maine le liya...us dupatte ko dekhne ke baad maine is berang tasveer me is dupatte ke rang bhar diye...

Kashish: to isi liye aapki office red and white hai..........

Sujal just smiles...

Sujal: haan...kyunki yeh dono rang mere dil ke bohat kareeb hain...

Kashish: samaj aa gaya..............Its a very nice bedroom...........

Sujal: muje khushi hai ke tumhe yeh room pasand aya...yeh room poore ghar me se mera favourite room hai,aur main apna zyada waqt yahin pe bitata hoon...aaj se yeh kamra tumhara bhi hai...

Kashish just looks at him when they heard Kripa and Angad from downstairs...........

Kashish: woh Kripa aa gayi hai...............

Sujal: haan...shayad woh log aagaye...chalo neeche chalte hain...

They both walked out of the room and walked downstairs into the lounge where Angad and Kripa were waiting for them...

Sujal: tum dono pohanch gaye...

Angad: ya woh raste me office se phone aa gaya ki koi ek meeting aa gayi hai..........koi naye project ko leke............waise main seedha hi chala jata lekin phir Kripa ne kaha ki Kashish ka luaggage drop karna hai to.......

Sujal: oh...thanks yaar laane ke liye...laao main upar rakh deta hoon...

He was about to pick up her luggage when he remembers something and looks at Kashish..

Sujal: woh...main le jaaun...ya tum leke jaana chahogi?

Kashish: woh main aur Kripa kar lenge......is waqt aapka office jana jyada zaroori hai.........

Sujal: thik hai...Kripa tum yahin rukna hum meeting se jaldi aane ki koshish karenge...aur Kashish kissi bhi cheez ki zaroorat ho to Kripa se kehdena...apna khayal rakhna...bye

Kashish: bye......Good Luck for meeting.......

Sujal just smiles...

Sujal: thanks nahin kahunga...bye..

Sujal and Angad leave for the meeting...Kashish and Kripa looked at each other and than Kashish picked up the bags with Kripa and both walked toward his bedroom.....

****************************************************************************

It was now afternoon and Kripa and Kashish were sat in the lounge with a cup of coffee...

Kashish: kabse tum Sujal ko janti ho........I mean maine hamesha tumhe aur Angad ko unke saath dekha hai.....

Kripa: main Sujal ko pichle do saalon se jaanti hoon jabse maine SG ko join kiya..aur shuru se hi hum theeno dost bangaye..phir dheere dheere main aur Angad ek dusre se pyar karne lagge aur is baat ka ehsaas hume Sujal ne karaya

Kashish: iska matlab tumhe aur Angad ko kabhi pata hi nahi chala ki tum dono ek dusre ko pasand karte ho......

Kripa: nahin shuru me nahin pata chala..phir Sujal Angad ke saamne jaan booj ke mere saath flirt karta tha to usse ghussa aajata tha..woh mere liye bohat posessive tha aur muje yeh achcha lagta tha..phir Sujal ne usse ehsaas dilaya aur Angad ne tab muje propose kiya ....

Kashish: lekin tumse ek sawaal karu......ple bura mat manna..........kya kabhi is dauran tumhe Sujal se pyaar nahi ho gaya.........

Kripa: attraction to thi...i mean Sujal ki personality hi kuch aisi hai ke usse har koi pyar kare...uska pyar anokha hai...main usse hamesha kehti thi ke jisse tum pyar karoge woh bohat lucky hogi..

Kashish just looks at her

Kashish: ek baat kahoon..........us din jo maine suna tha kya woh wake me sach hai........kyunki tum to unki dream girl ke bare me janti hogi..........aur main waisi to bilkul bhi nahi to phir woh mere bare me aise............

Kripa: us din tumne jo sunna tha woh bilkul sach tha...Sujal wake me tumse bohat mohobbat karta hai...woh hamesha se hi karta aaya hai...main jaanti hoon ki tum uski dream girl se bilkul alag ho...par woh tum me woh sab kuch dekh sakta hai jo woh apni dream girl me dekhna chahta hai...aur main yeh to nahin janti usse tumse pyar kaise hogaya...par haan main itna yakeen ke saath kehsakti hoon ki zindagi bhar woh tumhe itna hi chahega...woh tumhare liye kuch bhi karsakta hai...kabhi aazma kar dekh lena...

Kashish: shayad bahot aasma chuki main............I am sorry muje abhi kahi jana hoga.........

Kripa: par Kashish...

But she took her camera and left leaving Kripa behind

Kripa: yeh Kashish bhi naa........ab Sujal aayega to kya jawab dungi..............hey bhagwan ple aap Sujal ke pyaar ko manzil pe pahoncha do.........

Kripa went into kitchen to help the servants for the dinner......

****************************************************************************

It was now evening and Angad and Sujal returned from the office...Sujal opened the door and they both walked in when Kripa came out of the kitchen...

Sujal: hey kripa...kaisi ho tum...aur Kashish kahan hai?

Kripa: Sujal woh.........woh to dopahar ke bad hi apna camera leke kahi chali gayi......

Sujal: kya!..kahan chali gayi?..usne kuch bataya kya..

Kripa: Sujal tum to use jante hi ho........woh kisi ko kuch batake nahi jati...........

Sujal just looks at her...

Sujal: mein usse phone karta hoon...

Sujal picks up his mobile and tries to call Kashish but she wasn't picking up

Kripa: Sujal...kya hua.kuch bolo to sahi.......

Sujal: woh phone nahin utha rahi...kahan ja sakti hai woh...

He runs his hand through his hair whilst looking tensed..

Angad: tu pareshan mat ho thodi dair intzaar karte hai.......

Sujal: hmmm...

Angad and Kripa sat down watching Sujal pacing the room...he was walking backwards and forwards whilst continuously looking at the door...half an hour had passed in silence when finally the door opened...Sujal saw Kashish and breathed a sigh of relief on seeing her...

Kashish: whats wrong..........aap sab itne pareshan .......

Sujal: ermm...nahin koi baat nahin hai...hum bas tumhari rah dekh rahe the...aao dinner karlen

Kashish: muje bhukh nahi .......aap sab kar lijiye.............

Sujal: tumne subah se kuch nahin khaya...thora sa kha lo

Kashish: I am sorry lekin ple muje nahi khana...........I just need a coffee........

Kripa just looks at Sujal whilst he lowered his gaze...

Sujal: theek hai jaisa tum chaho...main coffee bana laata hoon...abhi naukar ghar chale gaye...

Kashish: its ok........i dont want any coffee..........main kuch dair akeli rehna chahti hoon............

Kashish just ran to her new bedroom.........

Sujal just watches her go and then looks at Angad and Kripa...

Sujal: tum dono dinner karlo...muje bhook nahin hai..

Kripa: kya Sujal tum bhi.......tumne bhi to subaah se kuch nahi khaya..........aur tum ruko main Kashish ko samjake lati hoon.......aise thodi na chalta hai...........tum aur Angad betho main abhi aayi......

Sujal: Kripa rehne do woh nahin khayegi..usse kuch dair akele rehne do

Kripa: nahi rehne de sakti kyunki aaj agar aauntie hoti to woh bhi Kashish ko aise bina khaye nahi sone deti........

Sujal just looks at Kripa...

Sujal: thik hai...mom ke liye tum ek baar usse baat karlo...

Kripa ran toward thier bedroom.........Kripa saw her standing near the window....Kripa goes and looks at her and she looked like she is not comfortable at all........

Kripa: kya baat hai Kashish.tum itni upset kyun ho.......khana bhi nahi khaya.....

Kashish: nahin...aisi koi baat nahin...muje sach me bhukh nahin hai...tum sab kha lo

Kripa: Kashish.......tumhe kya lagta hai ki tumhare na khane se sab kha lenge........nahi Kashish tumhare is tarah na khane se sabse jyada kisi ko dard ho raha hai to woh Sujal ko........aur yeh mat bhulo ki aaj tumhari Mom hoti to woh bhi tum dono ko aise bina khaye nahi sone deti.............

Kashish just turns and looks towards Kripa and remembers the time her mom would always make her eat before going to her room...

Kashish: hmmm...theek hai...chalo

Kripa: thik hai chalo........

Kripa walked downstairs followed by Kashish........Sujal was surprised to see her coming but was happy that she had come...

Kripa: ab chalo sab log khaana kha lo warna thanda hojayega...

Angad: haan aur muje tho bohat bhukh laggi hai...

Sujal: isme naya kya hai!...jab dekho tumhe khaane ki hi padi rehti hai...khaane ke alawa kuch aur bhi sochte ho tum...

Kashish just looked at them as they all sit down.........there was only chair left empty was next to Sujal..........Kashish looks at Sujal and than without saying anything sat down.....Sujal just moves his eyes towards her and was feeling very happy...today he felt complete as he has his love,his companion beside him...

Kripa: ab sab log dekh kya rahe ho....shuru karo...

Sujal takes a dish and passes it to Kashish...

Sujal: lo Kashish...

Kashish takes it and without saying anything Sujal and Kripa served her with the food......after some moments they all started to eat...........Kashish looked at the food and start to eat..........she ate some food when she remembered her old time with her mom............she closed her eyes and put the fork down......

Kashish: excuse me.......

Kashish walked again towards her bedroom.....

Sujal: shayad usse mom ki yaad arahi hogi...chalo kamsekam usne kuch khaya to sahi...main usse dekh kar aata hoon

Kripa: hum log bhi ab nikalte hi hai.............

Sujal: ok...hum kal milte hain...bye

Kripa and Angad bid good bye to Sujal and they left......Sujal just closed the door......and left for his bedroom............

****************************************************************************

Sujal was about to go into the kitchen to make her some coffee when he remembers she had said she doesn't want it...he takes a deep breath and heads towards his room...he gently opened the door and saw her stood by the window...lost in her own thoughts...he came inside and was trying to think of something to say...

Sujal: ermmm...Kashish...woh tum kal SG aa rahi ho?

Kashish turned around and looked at him and than again start to stare at the sky.........

Kashish: I think ab to muje join karna hi hoga woh Alex jo nahi raha to main soch rahi thi ki.... i will do his job............lekin aapki meeting kaisi thi......

Sujal: meeting kaafi achchi rahi...baat to hogayi hai ab bas deal finalize hona baaki hai jo hopefully jald hojayegi..

Kashish: I hope so ki deal finalize ho jaye aur waise bhi kal to main SG aahi rahi hoon is liye Deal to hamare hakk me hi hogi...........

Sujal: haan kyunki tumhare hote huye to hume kabhi koi loss ho hi nahin sakta...muje bhi yakeen hai ke deal humare haq me hi hogi...ab raat kaafi hogayi hai aur subah office bhi jaana hai isliye tum so jao...goodnight...

Sujal goes to his closet and takes his clothes and walks towards the door to go out...Kashish turned around and saw him leaving the room......

Kashish: aap is waqt kaha jaa rahe hai.........mera matlab yeh bedroom to aapka hai to.........

Sujal: aajse yeh bedroom tumhara...main yahin saamne waale kamre me hoon...agar tumhe kissi cheez ki zaroorat pade to muje jaga dena...

Kashish: Sujal maine aapse aaj subaah kaha tha na ki muje yeh pasand nahi ki koi apni zindagi mere liye badle..........is liye aapko apna bedroom chod ke jane ki kahi zaroorat nahi........

Sujal: main jaanta hoon Kashish...lekin main nahin chahta tum uncomfortable mehsoos karo...aur muje sach me koi problem nahin hai doosre kamre me sone ke liye...tum yahan araam se so jao...

Kashish: lekin isse muje bahot bura lagega kyunki main nahi chahti ki aapko koi bhi taklif ho.........is liye Ple mere liye apni zindagi mat badliye........kyunki main janti hoon ki zindagi badalna kitna muskil hai...........

Sujal just looks at her...

Sujal: theek hai...agar tumhe mere jaane se burra lagega to main nahin jaunga...main nahin chahta ki tumhe meri wajah se koi bhi takleef ho...par tumhe badle me meri khaatir kuch karna hoga...

Kashish: kuch bhi......batao kya karna hai....

Sujal: tum muje aap nahin...balke tum kehke bulaogi...i mean jab hum baat karte hain to aisa lagta hai jaise hum kissi corporate house me reh rahe hain....

Kashish; thik hai to......main ...woh aajse tumhe tum kahungi..........

Sujal just smiles...

Sujal: thank you...that sounds much better...ab tum thoda araam karlo...subah office jaana hai

Kashish: ya sure...............Good Night Sujal........

She just went on her side of the bed and got a file from drawer and starts to read.........

Sujal: goodnight Kashish...

He takes his clothes and goes into the washroom to get changed...after some time he comes out wiping his face with a towel and places it on the hook...he came towards the bed and saw her still reading the file...he just took his slippers off and lied down on his side of the bed facing the other way...he pulled the curtains on his side to close them and after sometime he fell asleep...Kashish just looked towards him and starts to involve in her work...........Its 2'o clock at night when Sujal opened his eyes and saw the lights by her side .....he turned around and saw her still working with files and she was looking so tired.....

Sujal: Kashish...tum abhi tak jaag rahi ho?do baj gaye hain tum so jao warna zyada thakaan ki wajah se bimaar parjaogi...baaki ka kal karlena...

Kashish just looked at him and closed her files and put them in drawer and pulled down the curtains and closed the light and went to the bed facing the wall on her side...........He turned back around and then after some time they both fell asleep...
