Part 13

ridit sabse pehle gift shop gaya aur waha se gift lene ke baad woh kisise milne gaya aur kuch zaruri kaam kiya.. jab ghar pahocha toh his mom n dad were looking at him with suspicious eyes.. he prefered to ignore der gaze n sat beside his mom..

ridit(extra sweetly) - mum aapne gift lane ko kaha tha so main le aya.. umm mumma woh mene bahot socha aur muje laga ki airport pe milna acha nahi lagega aur thik se baat bhi nahi hoo payegi.. aap aisa karo ki airport ke paas jo restaurant hai na use waha ane ko bol do.. aur haan aap uska number mujhe de do aur mera number aap usko de dena aur bolna ki main hi usko call karunga..

mom - restaurant?? number?? aur achanak restaurant main milne ko kaise taiyaar hoo gaya tu?? tu koi shararat to nahi karne ki soch raha hai na ridit?? ( mom ne ridit ka kaan zorrr se pakda..)

ridit - aahhh mum chodo dukhta hai.. (mom ne kaan chod diya..) aap na hamesha apne bete pe shaq hi karti rehti hoo as if main roz kuch na kuch shararat karta rehta hoon.. huh!!(saying huh he realised its sarakshi's signature expression.. a smile automatically crept over his lips..) its just airport me sukoon se baat kaha ho paegi mom.. life ka itna important phase h to waisa environment bhi to hona chahiye na.. (he tried to sound as serious as possible)

mom - dekh ridit mann to nahi maan raha par tujhpe bharosa karne k alawa aur koi rasta nahi hai mere paas.. agar kuch gadbad ki na to mujhse bura koi nahi hoga.. (his mom showed him fake anger..)

ridit - haan mother India main uss ladki se kuch nahi kahunga.. abb main jau?? u see ridit mehra aise hi muh utha kar apna exhibition nahi karwa sakta..

mom - kyaaa??

ridit - arey sirf main hi dekhunga kya use?? woh bhi to dekhegi na mujhe..

his mom slapped him lightly on his cheek..

mom - chal ja abb..

ridit apne room main aya aur usne rehan ko call kiya..

rehan - kya baat hai aaj bahot yaad aa rahi hai meri??

ridit - shut up!! ye bata ki sarakshi ka rishta kisse hone ja raha hai??

rehan - kyu??

ridit - yaar tu bhaav mat kha abb.. sabkuch to janta hai tu..

rehan - pehli baat ye ki mujhe pata nahi aur dusri baat ye ki abb kuch nahi ho sakta.. usse baat ki thi maine thodi der pehle aur woh shadi karne ka faisla le chuki hai..

ridit - jo janna chahta hoon woh pata karke bata..

rehan - sunn abb kuch nahi hoo sakta.. woh aaj shaam ko uss ladke se milne wali hai aur sarakshi ki taraf se to haan hi hai aur am sure milne ke baad woh ladka bhi haan kar dega..

ridit - bakwas mat kar.. aur haan ek baat kaan khol kar sunle sarakshi sirf meri hai!! abb jaldi pata karke bata woh kaha aur kisse milne wali hai..

rehan - namaste uncle ji.. musibat hoo gayi hai.. ridit mujhse puch raha hai ki sarakshi kis ladke se aur kaha milne ja rahi hai.. abb kya kahu usse??

papa(after discussing with his wife) - usse keh de ki sarakshi aaj kisise nahi milne wali.. milna cancel hoo gaya..

rehan - ohh matlab woh aur ridit aaj nahi mil rahe??

papa - tumhe kya naukari rishwat deke mili thi??

rehan - umm sorry uncle ji.. main samajh gaya.. ridit ko sirf aisa batana hai taki woh kuch gadbad na kare.. samajh gaya samajh gaya.. waise main mumbai pahochne wala hoon bass..

papa - thik hai.. ridit jaise hi ghar se niklega main tumhe bata dunga..

rehan ne ridit ko call kiya aur jaisa mr mehra ne kaha tha waisa use bata diya..

mumma(after thinking) - prince..

sarakshi - kyaaa?? (she raised her eyebrow)

mumma - hmm.. naam usise puch lena..

mom ne sarakshi k sar pe pyaar se haath phera aur chali gayi..

sarakshi never applies makeup.. par aaj toh muh dhone ka bhi mann nahi kar raha tha uska.. she wanted to look ugliest possible.. but she knew she has taken such a drastic step just for her parents sake n now watever she will do she will do that for her parents..

wen she came downstairs she saw her parents looking at her affectionately.. she felt lump in her throat but she promised herself she wont cry atleast infront of her parents..

sarakshi(not looking into der eyes) - aap dono aise kyu dekh rahe hai mujhe??

papa - meri princess bahot pyaari lagg rahi hai.. bass ek hi chiz ki kami hai..

mom - kya kami hai?? meri beti bilkul perfect lagg rahi hai..

papa - bass ek muskaan ki kami hai jo pata nahi kaha kho gayi hai.. maine dhundne ki koshish to ki hai shayad abb mil jaye..

sarakshi was trying hard to supress her tears.. she managed to give a fake smile n quickly turned face soo that her parents cant see her moist eyes..

sarakshi - main chalti hoon papa.. jaldi aa jaungi.. meri chinta mat karna..

here ridit too left for meeting THE girl..

restaurant ke bahar ridit ne kisiko paise diye..

person - sir agar kuch gadbad hoo gayi toh??

ridit - arey kuch nahi hoga.. itna kyu ghabra raha hai?? ladki ko impress thodi na karna hai.. tu bass waise hi karna jaisa maine sikhaya.. woh khud-b-khud bhaag jaegi.. chal abb phone kar use..

ridit ne usko bhej diya aur khud chupp kar live dekhne wala hai..

sarakshi ka muh dusri taraf tha isliye ridit usko pehchaan nahi paya par jaise hi woh person uske paas jakar khada hua woh palati aur ridit ko minor attack sa feel hua.. usko samajh nahi aa raha woh kare kya..

person - hell-looo bole to aap hi ho ne wo jisse meri shaddi hone wali hai??

sarakshi - aap?? phone par??

person - haan jii me hi hoon wo jisse aap phone pe baat kar rahi thi thode waqt pele..

sarakshi - okk.. umm hiii(she saw the person frm head to toe n desparately wanted to give weird expressions but she had to control..)

ridit bahar khada hokar kabhi khudko to kabhi uss person ko koss raha tha tabhi kisine uske kandhe par haath rakha.. he turned n was shocked to see rehan infront of him..

ridit - oye tu to nahi ane wala tha na??

rehan - haan.. par jab raat ko tujse tera hal-e-dil suna to raha nahi gaya.. aur phir pune se mumbai ane main waqt hi kitna lagta hai..

aur phir ek ek karke ridit k papa mumma aur sarakshi k papa mumma bhi ridit k saamne aakar khade hoo gaye.. ridit ki mom ne ridit ka kaan pakda zorr se..

mom - nalayak.. kya harkat hai ye?? kaha tha na mene koi shararat mat karna hmm??

ridit - mom mene bhi to kaha tha me usse kuch nahi kahunga.. see me usse mila hi nahi.. abb plsss kaan chod doo plsss..

mom ne kaan chod diya par she is still angry..

rehan - ridit apne hone wale saas-sasur ke peir to chu le nalayak.. (he said indicating towards sarakshi's parents in order to let him know who they are..)

ridit - samjha!! too aap sabb ne milkar mera popat kiya.. haina??

rehan - beta popat to tu apna itne saalo se karata aa raha hai.. tu bhi aur teri sarakshi bhi.. hehe.. ek number ke gadhe hoo tum dono sach me!! aur aaj bhi jab hum logo ne itni mehnat karke tum dono ko milana chaha to tune apni bandbuddhi ka istemaal kar liya..

ridit was feeling stupid.. usko abb sabb samajh aa gaya tha..

ridit - acha aap log yahi ruko me apni sarakshi se milke ata hoon..

he tried to escape but rehan ne pakad liya uskoo..

rehan - kaha ja raha hai mera laal mera peela.. jo b tune plan kiya hai na wo sabb execute bhi ho jane de na.. hum bhi to dekhe teri bandbuddhi ka kamaal..

rehan - naah.. abb to tuje bilkul nahi jane dunga..

sabb andar ka nazara dekh rahe hai..

uss person ne dher sara khana order kar liya.. usko khate dekh sarakshi ko lagg raha tha ki woh abb zindagi me kabhi khana nahi kha paegi..

khate khate usse person ne jhoothe haatho se gift utha liya

person - ben tumne apna naam nai bataya muje??

sarakshi - ben??

person(after laughing) - ohh soryyy hoo galati se tumko ben bol diya.. (he blushed)

person - ho ho ho(he laughed) ye huh kya h hon?? pagaliii hehe.. chalo wo sabb chodo pele ye gipht laya hoon ne me tumhare liye wo kholke dekho..

the moment she removed the gift wrapper n opened the box a pichkari kind of thing popped out n splashed stinking water on her.. ridit's father n sarakshi's parents were laughing but his mom was fuming with anger.. ridit hid his face..

person - o ben muje maaf karna ho.. aur apne mummy pappa ko chugali mat karna hoo.. abi me chalta hoon.. (saying this that person literally ran awayyy)

sarakshi bass rone hi wali hai..

sabb log sarakshi k paas aye.. sarakshi was shocked to see ridit with her parents n her wld be inlaws..

ridit (bending on his knees) - am sorry sarakshi(holding his ears) muje nahi pata tha ki tum ho.. wo ye sabb jo tumhare saath hua wo mene plan kiya tha par muje nahi pata tha wo tum ho.. am really sorry sarakshi (he said while making a puppy like innocent face..)

sarakshi ko kuch bhi samajh nahi aa raha aur yeh ridit ko samajh aa gaya..
