Part 2
Khushi- (finishes off telling Kunal the story of Rahul-Muskaan exactly how it was shown on the show) Bas. Aur kya?
Kunal- (smiles) You know it's strange. Kitni interesting aur exciting thi humaare parents ki love stories.
Khushi- Kunal, har kisi love story alag hoti. Meaning... there's a story behind every love story. (smiles pleasantly)
Kunal- (dumbfounded expression) Wah wah wah. Kya baat hai? Yaar tumhaara logic tumhaare siva aur koi nahi samajh sakta. (sighs and raises his hands up, surrendering) I give up.
Khushi- Good. Very good. (bright smile) Sab ladke tumhaare jaise hone chahiye. (ruffles his hair)
Kunal- Oh madam, pehli baat, main tumhaara doggy nahi hoon toh yeh harkatein zara control mein rakhogi? (points to his hair that she messed up) Aur doosri baat, agar tumne notice nahi kiya toh, hum ghar pohonch chuke hain. Andar jaane ka mahoorat nikalvaoon kya?
Khushi- (irritated) Kunal... God! Kabhi kabhi tum itne sweet lagte ho, bilkul Sweetu Chachoo jaise. Aur kabhi kabhi toh...
Kunal- Toh...
Khushi- (angry look) Agh! Tu naa... Marr ja! Kaankhajura! (stomps into the house)
Atul- (smiles seeing her without noticing her mood or expression) Hey! Hi Khushhh... (finally sees her expression) okay not.
Kunal- (walks in) Hey dad.
Atul- (confused after seeing Khushi) Hi... Uh Kunal...
Kunal- Ya dad?
Atul- (goes to his son and puts his arm around his shoulder with a big smile) Eik baat bataa.
Kunal- Hmm.
Atul- (same position and expression) Kya kiya tune?
Kunal- (understanding right away what his dad was implying) Dad!!! (Khushi grabs a water bottle from the fridge)
Atul- (moves his arm off of Kunal and gives him a strange look) Abbey kya "Dad?" Khushi ka mood kharaab hai matlab tune hi kuch kiya hai. Kya kiya hai yeh bhi bataa de. (Khushi gives an angry look to Kunal)
Kunal- HA! Isska naam Khushi nahi NAAKhushi hona chahiye tha. Kyunki naa yeh kabhi khush rehti hai aur naa kisi aur khush rehne deti hai!
Khushi- Achha?! Tumhe toh main abhi dikhaati hoon. Haalat khush kardoongi tumhaari! (takes off her PUNJABI jutti and chases after him around the kitchen) Ruk kaankhajure! NaaKhushi?!
Kunal- (running) Abbey paagal hogayee hai kya?! Dad!
Atul- (laughing and acting as if nothing was happening) Haan?
Kunal- What haan? HELP!
Khushi- (warning him) Sweetu Chachoo! No way!
Atul- (starts heading out of the kitchen) Maine kuch nahi dekha, kuch nahi suna, aur main kuch nahi boloonga.
Kunal- Arre dad yahaan yeh junglee billi mujhe maar daalegi. Aur aap hain ki Gandhi ji ke teenon bandar eik saath bann gaye ho?! (Atul keeps walking with eyes closed, fingers in his ears, yelling "LA LA LA LA" on the top of his lungs) DAD!!!
Khushi- (still chasing him) Dad ke bachhe! Ruk! Abhi mazaa chakhati hoon!
Anjali- (comes downstairs with Mehak) Kunal! What's going on???
Kunal and Khushi both stop running.
Kunal- Mom! Thank god aap aagayeen mom. Please mujhe iss junglee billi se bachaao. PLEASE!
Anjali- Enough! Kya kiya tumne Khushi ke saath?
Mehak-Khushi- (crack up and high five)
Kunal- Mom maine?
Anjali- Tumne usska mood kharaab kiya hai, now bear the punishment. (pats Khushi on the cheek with a smile)
Kunal- But mom...
Anjali- No buts. Now take your butt upstairs aur jaldi fresh hoke neeche aao dinner karne ke liye.
Kunal- (sighs) Fine! Aap bhi iss hi ki side lelo. Afterall, mujh bechaare bachhe se koi pyaar nahi karta. (heads out of the kitchen) Koi hai jo iss bebas aur lachaar bachhe se pyaar karega? Koi toh hoga.
Anjali- (laughs watching him go) God, kabhi kabhi aisa lagta hai jaise yeh Atul ka remixed version hai. (laughs) As if eik Atul kaafi nahi tha.
Khushi- (smiles) Sorry chaachi. Actually ghalti meri thi. Kunal ne kuch nahi kiya.
Mehak- Ghalti jis ki bhi ho, lekin mom toh Kunal ko hi daantengi. Aadat jo padh gayee hai. Kyun mom?
Anjali- (sarcastic smile) Aadat change karne mein time nahi lagega sweetheart.
Mehak- Oops. I'm gonna go. Iss se pehle mom sach mein aadat change karlein, I think dad mujhe bulaa rahe hain. (nervous smile) Coming dad!
Atul- (walks back to the kitchen and says in his usual, innocent Atul style) Arre maine kab bulaaya?
Mehak- (gives him a "just-play-along" look) Yeah you did DAD. (uneasy smile)
Atul- (Anjali raises an eyebrow and looks at him strangely) Huh? (sees Anjali's expression and gets all nervous) Nahi nahi Anjali. Maine kuch nahi kiya. Sachi. (typical nervous Atul expression)
Anjali- (laughs) Atulll... you'll never change.
Mehak- (seeing this as a perfect opportunity to escape, grabs Khushi's hand and drags her out of the kitchen) Hum abhi aate hain!
12:30 a.m. Khushi's room...
Main kitni lucky hoon naa? Mere paas Sweetu Chachoo aur Chaachi hain. Sach kahoon toh, mummy-pappa ji ke baad sabse best couple Sweetu Chachoo aur Chaachi ka hai. They're too cute.
Kunal- Andar aajaoon? (smiles)
Khushi- Kunal? (smiles) Aao naa.
Kunal- (goes in and sits next to her) Listen... I'm really sorry.
Khushi- (looks at him slightly surprised) Sorry? Kis liye?
Kunal- (scratches his head with an innocent smile) Woh... maine tumhe ghussa dilaaya naa. (holds his ears) Sorry.
Khushi- (laughs) God, you're too much. Kunal, hum life mein pehli baar ladh rahe hain kya? Bachpan se eik hi routine raha hai humaara. Roz tum mujhe ghussa dilate ho, main chaachi se tumhe daant padhvaati hoon, aur agle din sab normal hojaata hai. Toh phir aaj sorry kehne ki kya zaroorat padh gayee?
Kunal- (smiles) Woh actually...
Khushi- Wait wait wait! (grabs a thermometer from her drawer) Moo kholo.
Kunal- Kya? Kyun?
Khushi- Arre kholo naa. (he opens and she sticks the thermometer in his mouth. After 1 minute...) Kamaal hai. Temperature toh normal hai. Thermometer kharaab toh nahi?
Kunal- (rolls his eyes) Tumhaara dimaag kharaab hai. Yaar main tumse baat karne aaya hoon aur tum...
Khushi- (realizing that he was serious) Oh okay theek hai theek hai theek hai. Samajh gayee. Serious time huh? Fine. Baat karni hai? Karo. I'm listening. Pakka.
Kunal- (smiles) You're crazy you know that?
Khushi- (smiles) Tumhaare saath rehke koi bhi normal nahi ho sakta.
Kunal- Achha... if I'm not wrong, tum phirse kuch soch rahi thi. Right?
Khushi- Pehle tum mujhe answer karo. Tumne sorry kyun bola?
Kunal- Baat main karne aaya tha naa. Toh pehle meri baat hojaaye, end mein tumhaara question answer kardoonga.
Khushi- Pakka?
Kunal- Pakka.
Khushi- Theek hai. Haan soch rahi thi.
Kunal- Apne mom-dad ke baare mein?
Khushi- Nahi. Tumhaare mom-dad ke baare mein. (smiles)
Kunal- I see. Toh ab tum apne mom-dad ke baare mein socho aur mujhe aage sunaao. (grabs one of her pillows and gets comfortable on her bed)
Khushi- Oh hello. Kya sunaoon?
Kunal- Kahaani. Obviously. Aur kya?
Khushi- Kedi kahaani?
Kunal- Kedi? Oh. You mean kaunsi. Stupid, chachoo-chachi ki. Tum bataa rahi thi ki woh Sanjeevani mein phir mile aur fake shaadi, phir chachoo chale gaye, then randomly wapas aagaye. Aur phir kabhi woh chachi ke peeche toh kabhi chachi unke peeche and all. Aur phir finally, after so many difficulties, unki shaadi ho hi gayee.
Khushi- Haan toh?
Kunal- Aage...
Khushi- Aage? Dekho Kunal, pehle main mummy-pappa ji ki life story pe novel likhti hoon phir main tumhe dedoongi padhne ke liye. Theek hai naa? (fake bright smile)
Kunal- (throws a pillow at her) Ha ha! Very funny. Aage!
Khushi- (throws it right back at him) Haiye rabba you're such a baby. Grow up yaar. Maine aaj tak tumhaare jaisa ziddi ladka nahi dekha.
Kunal- Toh ab dekhlo. (bright smile) Handsome hoon na?
Khushi- Handsome? My foot!
Kunal- Okay okay ab aage!
Khushi- Uff! Fine. Shaadi ke agle din...
*flashback*
Rahul- (goes back to his bedroom, sees Muskaan still sleeping, and goes and sits near her) Muskaan... (gently kisses her on the forehead)Muskaan...
Muskaan- (slowly opens her eyes only to be greeted by the face of her loving husband. She smiles) Rahul?
Rahul- (smiles deeply) Good morning.
Muskaan- (sits up and puts her arms around his neck) Good morning.
Rahul- (touches his forehead with hers) Neend bhar gayee?
Muskaan- (smiles) Hmm.
Rahul- Chai? (gestures with his eyes to the cup he set on the nightstand)
Muskaan- Rahul tu yeh kab...
Rahul- Tu so rahi thi issiliye socha ke tere liye bed tea le aaoon.
Muskaan- Kalse tu aisa kuch nahi karega. Tu sirf mujhe utthayega. Samjha?
Rahul- (smiles) Muskaan... hum pati patni se pehle dost hain. Pyaar se badhke bhi eik rishta hota hai. Dosti ka. Main chahta hoon ki hum dono best friends bannke rahein. Main kabhi tujhse koi baat nahi chupaoonga aur tu bhi mujhse kuch nahi chupaayegi. Muskaan... tu kuch bhi kar, mujhe koi problem nahi hai. Main har cheez mein tera saath doonga. Chaahe woh ghar ke kaam ho ya phir hospital ke, tu kisi bhi kaam ki responsibility akele nahi legi. Yeh humaara ghar hai. Jo bhi karenge, eik saath karenge. Pyaar karta hoon tujhse... hamesha tera saath doonga.
Muskaan- (hugs him) I love you Rahul.
Rahul- I love you too.
Muskaan- (smiles at him and puts her hand on his cheek) Main fresh hoke aati hoon.
After breakfast...
Muskaan- (slouches down on the sofa) Dr. Keerti ne 3 hafte ki chuttiyan toh dedi, lekin mujhe kya pata tha ki main ghar pe itni bore hojaoongi. (turns to look at Rahul who was also slouching next to her) Hai na?
Rahul- Haan yaar. Waise bhi flight toh parso ki hai.
Muskaan- Rabba ji! Matlab kal ke din bhi hume bore hona padega?
Rahul- Nahi yaar. Shaadi ke baad life itni boring toh nahi ho sakti. Humein woh karna chahiye jo married couples karte hain.
Muskaan- (thinks for a bit then hits Rahul on the arm) Oye thand rak thand! Marjaana tarseya hoya.
Rahul- Abbey pa... paagal toh nahi hogayee? Woh nahi yaar.
Muskaan- Toh phir?
Rahul-Dinner ke liye bahar chalte hain. Aur... tujhe shopping karni hai?
Muskaan- (looks at him with a dumbfounded expression) Tu theek toh hai? Tu khud mujhe shopping leke jaane ki baat kar raha hai?
Rahul- Haan yaar. Tu shopping karegi aur main tere saath time spend karoonga. (smiles and hold her hand)
Muskaan- Toh phir humein kuch aisa karna chahiye jo hum dono enjoy kar sakein.
Rahul- Parso Honeymoon pe jaa toh rahe hain.
Muskaan- Rahul!
Rahul- (laughs) Achha... mere paas eik idea hai. Tu mere liye pose karegi?
Muskaan- (annoyed and angry) KYA???!!! Rahul tu...
Rahul- (quickly before she jumps to anymore conclusions) Mujhe teri painting banaani hai.
Muskaan- (expression softens) Painting?
Rahul- Tu bhool gayee kya? Yaad hai na ki main painting karta hoon.
Muskaan- Rahul painting toh tu school ke dinon se karta hai. Woh kaise bhool sakti hoon. Lekin meri painting...
Rahul- Haan. Teri painting main... (looks around) Uh... wahaan! (points to an empty spot near the large window) Wahaan lagaoonga.
Muskaan- Lekin Rahul...
Rahul- (puppy dog face) Muskaan please? Tu mere liye kuch ghanton ke liye chup nahi behat sakti?
Muskaan- Haan... KYA?! Rahul tu issiliye meri painting banaana chahta hai?!
Rahul- (laughs) Joking! Kya tu mere liye thodi der ke liye pose kar sakti hai. Please?
Muskaan- (sighs and gives in) Theek hai. Kahaan behatoon?
Rahul- (looks at her from head to toe) Aise??? Muskaan yaar jaake ready hoke aa.
Muskaan- Oye yeh na tujhe kal karna chahiye tha. Shaadi ke baad. Jab main apne dulhan ke jode mein thi.
Rahul- Kal painting karta toh poori raat wohi karna padta mujhe.
Muskaan- Toh kya hua?
Rahul- (evil smile) Muskaan... tu bohot bholi hai.
Muskaan- (looks at him strangely) Matlab?
Rahul- Kuch nahi. Tu jaake tayaar hoke aa.Tab tak main set up karta hoon.
Muskaan- Kahaan? Yahaan pe???
Rahul- Muskaan... I think you should see something. Chal mere saath.
Rahul's "studio"...
Upstairs, behind one of the large closed doors that Muskaan had not yet explored, was a whole new world. A world of beauty and mystery...
Muskaan- (walking in) Wow! (trying to take in every little detail)
Rahul- (smiles) Welcome to my world.
Muskaan- Rahul... mujhe yeh toh pata tha ki tu paint karta hai lekin... (still taking in his works of art)
Rahul- It's nothing special lekin yahaan pe jitni bhi paintings hain, yeh sab maine alag mediums mein banayee hain. This room has the best view in the house. Eik yeh room aur doosra humaara room.
Muskaan- (amazed as she walks around closely admiring each and every painting) Rahul tune kabhi bataaya kyun nahi ki tu yeh sab... tujhe time kab milta hai?
Rahul- Time nikaalna padhta hai Muskaan. Pata hai, apni feelings express karne ke liye koi time nahi hota. Jab bhi kuch express karna chaha, toh seedhe yahaan aagaya. Kabhi kabhi toh poori raat jaag ke paint karta tha.
Muskaan- (looks at Rahul in amazement) Rahul...
Rahul- (smiles) Ab tu ready hoke aa. Jaldi jaa.
Muskaan- (walks out, then walks back in) Rahul...
Rahul- (setting up his painting medium, easle, and canvas)Haan?
Muskaan- (uneasy) Kya... kya pehenoon? (looks down)
Rahul- (stops what he's doing, slowly approaches her, and lifts her chin up) Tu jo bhi pehenegi, uss hi mein khoobsurat lagegi.
Muskaan- (looks into his eyes) Mujhe kuch... samajh...
Rahul lifted her in his arms and without once breaking his gaze from hers, he carried her to their bedroom. Once there, he gently put her down on the bed and moved towards her wardrobe.
Rahul- Tu kuch casual sa look chahti hai ya elegant?
Muskaan- Mujhe kya pata. Paint tu kar raha hai, toh tu bataa.
Rahul- (first looks at her then shrugs) Sochne de. (quickly looks back at her and takes something out of her wardrobe) Yeh le.
Muskaan- Yeh?
Rahul- Haan. Jaldi kar. Sirf kapde pehen na aur kuch nahi. Add ons main painting karte waqt decide karloonga. (leaves)
The Art Studio, 10 minutes later...
Rahul- (calls out to her) Muskaan!
Rahul- Jaldi kar yaar.
Muskaan- (enters hesitantly) Kaisi lag rahi hoon?
Rahul- (looks up and is pleasantly shocked) Jaise maine imagine kiya tha, waise hi. Haan eik cheez hai. Ruk. (gives her a pair of earrings) Yeh pehenle, phir eik dum perfect lagegi.
Muskaan- (puts them on) Ab theek hai?
Rahul- (looks at her carefully) Sari sahi se drape kar.
Muskaan- Kahaan se Rahul? Sahi toh hai.
Rahul- Achha tu yahaan behat. (points to the chair he had set for her) Ab chin thoda uppar kar. (positions her head to how he wanted it and fixes her sari) Perfect.
Muskaan- Rahul, mujhe kitni der behatna hoga aise?
Rahul- (matter-of-factly) Yehi kuch 4-5 hours.
Muskaan- KYA?! Rahul!
Rahul- (started mixing his medium) Shhh! Don't disturb the artist when he's at work. (Muskaan rolls her eyes)
*flashback ends*
Kunal- Wow! Painting huh? I didn't know ki Chachoo paint bhi karte the. Kya talent hai! Doctor bhi aur artist bhi.
Khushi- Toh? Ainwaiyee toh woh world ke best Pappa ji nahi bann gaye naa.
Kunal- Yaar maan na padega. Chachoo had style. (looking at his picture that was sitting on Khushi's night stand)
Kunal- Kaunsi?
Khushi- Yeh waali.
Kunal- Kahaan?
Khushi- (picks up a frame and looks at it) Arre! Roz hi toh dekhti hoon. In fact, tum bhi dekhte ho. Kyunki, uss good looking couple ki bad looking mistake toh mere saamne hai. (shows him the picture)
Khushi- Kahaan?
Kunal- Woh saamne.
Khushi- (nervous) Uh... kuch... kuch bhi toh nahi.
Kunal- (goes near her closet and sees a bunch of canvases) Oh ho! Kya baat hai. Daddy dearest ki carbon copy bann ne chali Khushi ji. Kyun?
Khushi- Aisa kuch nahi hai.
Kunal- Dekhein toh. (picks a few up and is amazed)
Khushi- Kunal...
Kunal- Yaar... mujhe aisa kyun lag raha hai ki there's more to you than I thought I knew. Tum itni achhi painting karti ho?! Aur kabhi kisi ko pata bhi nahi chalne diya??? Khushi... kabse???
Khushi- (uneasy) Yehi kuch 5-6 saalon se. Stress relief. (not making eye contact) You know hospital ke kaam ka itna stress hota hai aur...
Kunal- (grabs her by the shoulders gently) Hospital ke kaam ka bahaana kisi aur ko dena. Tum kya ho aur kaisi ho, main achhi tarhaan se jaanta hoon. You know, aaj tak mujhe lagta tha ki tum bilkul Chaachi ki tarhaan ho, lekin tum toh... (smiles) Tum toh Chaachoo ki copy ho. (brings her in front of a mirror) Khushi... dekho apne aap ko. You have Chaachoo's smile, eyes, thinking style, working style, traits, talents. Khush,' tumhaari eik totally alag side dekh raha hoon main jo aaj se pehle kabhi nahi dekhi. Tum jitni Chaachi jaisi ho, uss se zyaada tum apne Pappa ji jaisi ho. (smiles)
Khushi- (smiles) Kuch baatein hain jo tumhe pata chal jaayengi. Haan main apne Pappa ji jaisi hoon, aur yeh baat main jaanti hoon. Mummy bhi kehti thi.
Kunal- (smiles) Khushi... mujhe tumhe thanks kehna tha.
Khushi- Thanks? Kis liye?
Kunal- (sighs) Mehak, tum, aur main. (laughs lightly) Tum bachpan se Mehak se zyaada close thi. Lekin best friend hum dono ki thi. Par aaj main tumhe thanks kehna chahta hoon, kyunki aaj tumne mujhe woh sab bataaya jo shayad Mehak bhi nahi jaanti. Hai na?
Khushi- (smiles) Mehak... nahi jaanti. (eye lock)
Mehak- (walking by) Mehak kya nahi jaanti?
Kunal- (eye lock breaks) Uh... Mehak yeh nahi jaanti ki uska big bro kitna rocking hai.
Mehak- (scoffs) Nice joke Kunal. (laughs and Kunal makes a face) Waise tum yahaan kya kar rahe ho? Meri best friend ke room mein... iss time pe...
Kunal- Aye hello. Meri bhi best friend hai.
Mehak- Hogi, but she likes me more than you.
Kunal- No.
Mehak- Yes.
Kunal- No!
Mehak- Yes!
Kunal- NO!
Mehak- YES!
Khushi- SHUT UP!!! God tum dono kitne irritating ho! (puts one hand on both Mehak and Kunal's shoulder and smiles) I love both of you. Tum dono mere best friends ho.
Mehak- Haan! Kyunki main tumhaari behen jaisi hoon aur Kunal tumhaare...
Khushi-Kunal- (eyes wide open and yell at the same time) NAHI!
Mehak- (jumps a bit) Kya hua?
Kunal- (pats her head) Mehak, beta, jaao achhe bachhon ki tarhaan jaake so jaao. Bhaiyya ki baat maante hain naa?
Mehak- Oh shut up Kunal. Gross! I'm not 5 you know. Anyway, goodnight.
Kunal-Khushi- Goodnight. (both breath a sigh of relief and laugh)
Kunal- (evil smile) Uh... tumne usse roka kyun?
Khushi- Tumne bhi toh roka...
Kunal- Tumhe answer chahiye tha na?
Khushi- Answer?
Kunal- Ki maine tumhe sorry kyun bola. (walking towards her)
Khushi- (backing up) Haan...
Kunal- (close to her) Kyunki... (sees her eyes closed and smiles) kyunki agar nahi bolta toh kal jhagadta kaise?
Khushi- (opens her eyes and looks at him in shock) HUH???
Kunal- (evil smile) Haan.
Khushi- (hits him with a pillow) Kaankhajura!
Kunal- (laughs) Aage...
Khushi- Bas abhi! Baaki phir kabhi.
Kunal- Phir kabhi nahi, abhi ke abhi!
Khushi- (warning tone) Kunal...
Kunal- Fine! Lekin kal pakka tumhe mujhe bataana padega. Waise... painting ka kya hua?
Khushi- Kunal!!!
Kunal- Goodnight! (smiles and leaves)
Khushi- (smiles) Khotha. (lies down on her bed and thinks)
*flashback*
Muskaan- (impatiently) Oye kaankhajure! Aur kitni der???
Rahul- (finishing up) Bas paanch minute.
Muskaan- Tere paanch minute ki toh main... Chaar ghante hogaye hain! Main thak gayee. Dekh piddhe, teri painting gayee bhaad mein. Main jaa rahi hoon! (gets up)
Rahul- Done!
Rahul- (kisses her on the cheek and rests his chin on her shoulder while looking at his work) Well, as long as asli waali mere paas hai, paintings toh bohot saari bann jaayengi.
Muskaan- (turns around and hugs him) I love you Rahul.
Rahul- (holds her tight) Pehle pata hota itna simple hoga toh main ab tak teri 7-8 paintings banaa deta.
Muskaan- (hits him on the back) Achha? Aur kitni ladkiyon ki paintings banaayee hain?
Rahul- Chal dikhaata hoon.
Muskaan- Rahul!
Rahul- Uh I love you? (uneasy smile)
Muskaan- (evil smile) Achha? (picks up a tube of paint and squirts him) Awww. Mera pati mujhse bohot pyaar karta hai?
Rahul- Muskaan! Teri toh... (grabs a tube of paint and chases after her)
Rahul caught her, but tripped bringing her down with him with her on the bottom. With the close proximity between the two, he let the tube of paint drop from his hands and gently moved the strands of hair off her face. He smiled looking deep into her eyes and blushed, instanlty looking away. Taking advantage of the moment, he rubbed his cheek against hers allowing the paint that she'd squirted on him to get all over her cheek as well. She looked at him and smiled.
Rahul- (still on top of her) Haan Muskaan. Main tujhse bohot pyaar karta hoon. (kissed her forehead)
*flashback ends*
Khushi turned to look at her bedside table that was crowded with photoframes.
