Part 6: Going Away ...
He had told her,they would not meet at their respective homes, especially after the way things had progressed in the last two days .. Whenever they wanted a solution to their problems they would choose to meet in the school they had studied. The huge staircase at the backyard of their school had been their adda for years after they had passed out of school ..!! the Teachers knew it too.. since earlier it had been a bunch of friends.. but now it was mostly Arnav and Khushi who would come and sit there whenever they had something huge to decide.
Their music teacher Steve, would be one person they would always meet when they would visit school .. Steve would always be composing songs, playing an instrument or the other in the basement of the old building where old students often collected to share old times... As Arnav and Khushi sat there today ... they couldnt hear a thing... it was all quiet. Their world seemed to have turned upside down.. Khushi had never found sitting alone with Arnav this awkward before this ... But today somehow it was all different .. it was all new ... breaking the ice Arnav finally spoke ...
So?
Khu: nothing.. may be i will tell my family, you are my boyfriend, and then lets see where it goes.. ( she seemed to joke, as though not bothered)
Arnav looked visibly irked ...
Arn: Khushi you will have to stop finding temporary solutions to these life long problems you know ... life main har baat mazaak nahi hoti ...
Khushi had been thinking all morning, and she had been wondering why Arnav and everything about him since that morning had been plaguing her thoughts .. half the things she had said and spoken since morning, were not things she had wanted to say, but they had just tumbled outta her mouth !!!
Khu: toh main kya karoon Arnav ... i know i cant be doing that .. par main unhey kaise samjau ... and what happens to the fact that i want to become a scultptor?
Arn: have you told your family about it ...
Khu: its not like they dont know... they obviously think, that can continue post wedding too, besides making artifacts is a full time job, and i want to do some research also before i take a plunge ... and what if the guy makes fun of what i want to do ...
Arn: whats the harm in meeting him once and deciding what to do ... Arnav asked her ... trying to be objective ...
Khu: jo cheez mujhe karni hi nahi hai, uske baare main sochke kya fayda... par haan, main Shyam se toh baat kar hi sakti hoon na, may be ill talk to him and tell him what i feel ...
Arn: and what do you feel Khushi ...
Khu: stop acting difficult Arnav... you are confusing me even more ...
Arn: nahi ... lets get their straight ... issey pehle ke hum kuch aagey soche, i want to know what you feel .. give me one strong reason why you wouldn't want to get married ... i mean he is well settled, well educated, your family friend ...
Khu: if ma has sent you to talk me into all this, i am gone from here ... why are you not getting it ...( for the first time, tears burst outta her eyes in a way that she wanted to cry u uncontrollably) ...
Arn: ey khushi ... aaj tum bilkul ladkiyon ki tarah behave kar rahi ho .. may be its time for you to actually get married ...
He was now pushing the button too far, and Khushi flared up in anger...ready to leave .. when all of a sudden a song started to play ...
Itne Paraaye Jo Ho Tum Pahle Kabhi Bhi Na The
Mere Jahaan Mein Ghamon Ki Ho
Tum To Vajah Hi Nahin The
Dil Se Mere Tum Khud Ko Nikaalo
Yaa Phir Mujhe Hi Apnaa Banaa Lo
Bolo Tum Bolo
it was perhaps the first time ever that a song had irritated Khushi this much .. considering it came from Steve's room ...
why the hell was he listening to this crap !!!!
without leaving she just sat down, annoyed !!! she had expected Arnav to talk and say something like he generally did ... but he didnt this time and this was even more annoying ... then she calmed herself down on her own, and asked him looking totally helpless...
Khu: Kya karoon main?
Arnav looked at her and knew she was in a mess...!!!
Arn: Boldo na .. ke tumhe shaadi nahi karni hai .. why are you complicating things for yourself .. they are your parents, wo tumhare bhalayi ke baare main hi sochenge aur agar tum unse kaho gi ke tumhe yeh shaadi nahi karni hai toh wwoh tumhe force kyun karenge ...
Khushi knew this was not her problem anymore ... what had been troubling her had been not her marriage, it was Arnav! and the things that had been going on in her head ... for the first time in her life an elemnt of self doubt had taken over her ... and she was finding it extremely had to share her problem with this one man who knew everything about her ..she suddenly felt devoid of ways to express what she felf like at the moment..to her, Arnav was a totally different man now!
The man whom she had used all these days as her support, as a confidante a friend as well as someone who she knew would always be with her no matter what, even choosing Akash over Arnav had come easily to her was gone !!!! ... Arnav had embedded himself in her life slowly and steadily .. the number of times he had been around her when she needed him without asking for it, finding solutions to her problems, allowing her to vent, act goofy and also lend a shoulder to cry on... it was always as though, he had been hers .. forever !! had she always loved him and not known this? was this love at all? at this point in time, when so much was happening, was it right on her part to expect him to understand her .. what if he wouldnt at all? she would lose the one person who mattered to her the most ...
tera mujhse hai pehle ka naata koi
koi nahi dil nu bhaata koi
jaane tu yaa jaane naa...
maane tu ya maane naa...
she had been exceptionally quiet ... when Arnav decided it was better she went back home .. and deal with her problems instead of sitting and brooding over it here .. she was perhaps
freaking out for nothing .. besides ...he had no clue what was going on in her head anymore as he was not used to this behavior .. she would yell, she would vent, and use him to express her worries .. and that was something he knew.. but something about her behavior today had been odd and awkward .. the vibes he got had made him feel uncomfortable, so much so that he didnt want to be there anymore as well for his own semblance ..
that he loved her, he always knew, but now was not the time to tell her that and mess things up for her even more ... he would have loved to give her a comforting hug to ease her off her pain, but today something inside him stopped him too.. may be it was her state .. and he was worried for himself too.. what if she would meet Shyam, like him and want to get married to him after all... he would definitely not want to come in the way of her happiness, like all other times before !!!
"chalo... ghar chalte hai ... amma tumhara intezaar kar rahi hogi ..."
Khushi stood up in a daze ... walking up to the car in a zombie like state ... walked back into her room without a word though her mother had tried to talk to her as she entered ...
Rakesh uncle had canceled his plans since, Shyam was going to come into town only two weeks later and they thought it would be better if the families met then ...but all this didnt matter to Khushi other than the fact that she was a little relieved the issue had been pushed to a later date ..
that night, the only thing she picked up from the dinner table was jalebis, since they reminded her of Arnav .. her parents had been surprised at her sudden act of withdrawal and coldness ...she gobbled three jalebis, one after another, as though thinking of something, as she nibbled onto them ...
The father and the mother exchanged looks as Garima, looked at Payal for answers. payal only shook her head as though meaning to say she didnt know what was up ... Finally Garima gestures her husband, and shakes her head meaning to say she will handle the situation in her own way ...
So giving her a little time, Garima walks into Khushi's room, trying to talk to her daughter who is aimlessly playing minesweeper on her computer, losing every 5 seconds almost.. and again restarting the game clicking without logic...
Garima: " kya baat hai Khushi jabse humne shaadi ki baat ki hai, tum kuch khoyi khoyi si lag rahi ho ... "
Khushi turned around and hugged her mother, as though she had been dying to burst out all day, and told her ... "mujhe shaadi nahi karni hai ma ...please ... i dont want to get married ... please ... "
Garima strokes her daughters hair gently, rubbing her back, consolingly, telling her, it would be fine .. and waits for her sobs to subside, before she can talk ...
Mo: theek hai beta ... theek hai ... ab rona band karo said Garima, who had been totally shocked at this reaction... she didnt know her daughter would get this effected by just the thought of a proposal ... she knew, it had come as a shock to her daughter but she felt it was only natural for a girl to freak out at times like this ...
Khushi looks a little relieved ... as she had said her heart out to her mother, but her impending worry keeps her mentally preoccupied ... garima pulls Khushi out of her chair, turning the monitor off, asking her to go off to bed ... as Khushi lies down on her mother's lap ... Garima .. starts to speak ...
Gar: "jaanti ho Khushi ...jab main tumhare papa se pehli baar milne waali thi toh main bhi bahut darr gayi thi ... mujhe bahut ajeeb laga tha, lekin fir ... hum jab miley jo, mujhe ehsaas hua, ke yeh itna bura bhi nahi hai ..(she laughs) ... ek doosre ko jaane ke liye hum dono ne ek saal
tak chittiyan likhna shuru kiya ..maine unko thoda jaana, aur unhone mujhe .. badi badi chitthiyan likha karte the woh aur main chote chote .. aisa pehli baar hua tha ke main kisi se itni baatien kar rahi thi ..mujhe wo pasand to aane lage the, lekin mujhe poori tarah se yakeen nahi tha ke main unse shaadi kar sakti hoon na nahi .. lekin un khato se hum dono ne ek doosre ko jaana..uss time pe STD bhi nahi tha ... trunkcall book karna padta tha ...aur aaj book karo toh call kab aaye... pata nahi ... toh baatein bhi nahi ho paati thi ... fir ek aisa waqt aaya jab tumhare papa ka tumhare nanaji ke saath ladayi ho gayi thi, aur woh gussa hoke chale gaye .. aur tumhare nanaji ne kaha, jaane do usey, hum tumhare liye aur bhi accha ladka le ayenge ...kayin dino tak tumhare papa ki koi khabar nahi mili.. aur fir .. ek din mujhe dekhne koi aur aaya ...aur filmo main jaisa hota hai ..usi waqt tumhare papa ka bhi call aaya...3 mahine baad pehli baar.. aur unhone mujhse kaha, main tumhe bhoola nahi hoon garima .. aur main tumhare ghar ke bahar khada hoon .. bahar aao, mujhse tumse baat karni hai ... maine toh bol dia
baat karni hai toh ghar main aake mere papa se baat karo ...!!! lekin tumhare papa hai itne ziddi, unhone bola, main pehle tumhara jawab sunna chahta hoon.. fir main tumhare papa se baat karoonga ..
mujhe samajh nahi aa raha tha ke main kya karoon .. fir maine tumhari nani ko ishara karke bulaya, aur sab kuch bataya ... aur bahar tumhare nanaji uss ladke ke family se baat kar rahey the, aur peeche ke darwaze se tumhare papa andar aaye aur mere se kaha.. tumhe mujhse shaadi karni hai ya nahi ????
tumhari nani ne tumhare papa se poocha .."tumne meri beti ko bahut rulaya hai .. meri beti queen victoria jaisi pali hai .. .. aur tumne usey aise pareshaan kiya hai ke ...kya guarantee hai tum usey khush rakhoge
tumhare papa ne kaha ... " uss queen victoria ne bhi toh kisi se shaadi ki thi.. toh kya iss queen victoria se main shaadi kar sakta hoon????"
tumhari nani toh maan gayi, lekin nanaji ko manana kitna muskhil tha.. par tab tak, maine bhi soch liya tha, ke main tumhare papa ke ilaava kisi aur se shadi nahi karoongi ...
khu: ma tum mujhe yeh sab kyun suna rahi ho ? (absorbing every inch of what she had heard , also surprised that her mother had opened up to her so much suddenly ...)
Garima: beta, kyunki .. hume pata nahi hota ke humare kismat main aur zindagi main kiska saath likha hai .. kabhi kabhi insaan tumhare ankhon ke saamne hote hue bhi hum usey pehchaan nahi paatey aur kabhi kabhi ek ajnabee se milke bhi aisa lagta hai jaise uske saath tumhara janmo ka naata hai ...
To Khushi each of her mothers words, only seem to point towards one name .. and she seems to have made up her mind as to where her heart has been leading her since morning .. may be like always she was being impulsive, but something in her heart had told her ... she was right!!!
Raizada House:
A visibly annoyed Akshay looks at Arnav and asks him ... "Khushi se milke aa rahey ho na ..."
Arv: haan ... woh actually main ...
Akshay: bahut ho gaya ab .. main aur bardast nahi kar sakta ... tumhe ... khushi ke zindagi se door jaana hi hoga ...
Arnav looks at Akash shocked ...
Ak: jab tak tum uski zindagi main ho, wo kisi aur ke baare main sochna hi nahi chahti .. you seem to have clouded and cluttered her thoughts ..and she will never give anyone a chance as well .. i know she doesnt love you, but .. she will not love anyone else as well as long as you are a part of your life ..
Akash's words that Khushi doesnt love him, seem to stick into Arnav like a thousand daggers at a time .. and accepting it after being told by someone else makes it harder .. he is very tempted to tell akash, in her current volley of problems Akash perhaps never figured anywhere, but he loved his brother too much to be this blunt with him ...!!
Ak: i dont know tum kya karoge... Akshay told Arnav... lekin tumhe kuch na kuch karke ussey door jaana hoga .. she is too attached to you .. main tumhara bhai hoon aur main samajh sakta hoon .. lekin koi aur ...
Arn: tum Khushi aur kisi aur ke baare main soch bhi kaise sakte ho Akash ( asks Arnav shocked ...)
Ak: bhai, i didnt mean it that way .. if you are getting what i am saying, you know what i mean ...baaki is upto you .. think about it ...
Akash leaves from there ... leaving Arnav in deep thought ...
ARNAV cant sleep all night ... but the first rays of the rising sun seem to give him a new direction all of a sudden after all the pondering ... He had loved Khushi way too much, and he
knew Akshay had been right ... as long as he was around, Khushi would perhaps never be able to think straight .. besides .. he wouldnt be able to stay around her and watch her get married to someone else as well .. so he decides ... it was about time he went away from here .. and he
would waste no more time ..if the need arose he would leave even today !!!
On the other hand...
Khushi, wakes up in the morning, feeling happy about things around her ... she had slept well, especially since she seemed to have thought, she would allow her life to take the course she had wanted ...she had been dying to meet Arnav like never before, since the world around her had suddenly changed, and she knew once she was done talking to Arnav, her parents would understand her too!! After all Amma loved Arnav!!
precap:
Khushi reaches Raizada house, and for the first time is nervous as she enters .. there she see's him reading the paper, munching into a sandwich ..
instead of walking in, she turns around and runs back home since she suddenly is embarrassed at her feelings for Arnav.
