Dark Shadows - Page 9

Mukti goes home, disturbed the first thing she does is have a cup of coffee. "Chill it was just an attraction that is all there is nothing between you and U.D…relax." she took a few deep breaths.

Week latter:

The kids are back home and Mukti got out of her 'confutation' and leads a normal life. Snaha walks down the stars and Kamini looks surprised, "Beta you are ready for office so soon?"

"Ji mama I have to go there is some important work, I will come as soon as I can…by mama by papa." She runs out with out eating any breakfast…soon she is seen getting into the car and drives away…a highway is seen with a truck coming in top speed. A turning and Snaha's car and the truck came against Snaha's car and when she tries to avoid it looses control and she hurts her self very badly and starts bleeding. Soon she is hospitalised…

Guptha house phone rings and Kamini takes the phone, "Hello? Kya ya ya kaisa…hum abi vaha aaraha hai. Sharath beta Snaha is wounded and is hospitalised chalo…" Everyone run to the hospital and Prerna is crying uncontrolabily. Soon the docter calls the family and says, "Mr. Guptha I am sorry but you're wife can not survie she has only a few hours left and she would like to see all of you." All three families go to Snaha's side Mukti huggs her tightly she hands her to Sharath, "Take care of bachi Sharath she needs you after I am gone." No one stops her, "Aap sabna muja bahuth pyar dia I know I don't have much time…I can't tell all of you how much I love you. There is only one thing I want to ask you, please take care of Sharath find him someone find my dauter someone. Promise me." Everyone (adults) agree and Snaha takes her final breath. Prem weaps and so does Mukti were as everyone else is too shell shocked. Soon they do all the akri karam for her, and Sharath sinks deep into work, his world revolves around only few things Sur, Mukti and office. Soon his company too develops and Mukti's office too so much that to forget Snaha babi's death.

Another month leap:

Mukti is in her room working on a project very sinciarly, to an extent that she completely forgets food. Sharath walks in with a tray of sandwitches, "Chotu eat and first then you can do you're work."

"Bai I can't stop now…yaha raklo." She states and Sharath ignores her, and feeds the food. Mukti with out takeing her eyes of her computer, as she is fed the food. Kamini stands at the door and stays there, some how she needed a bahu for this house and she was going to start looking for one. The best time for her to develop this search was now.

Kamini's hunt for a girl is soon over, in just a week they find a girl called Akanksha. (Played by the heroin in Karam)

She is the daughter of Kamini's friend and a very loving girl who is very found of children. Sharath and Akanksha talk and Sharath sees that she already loves Sur like her own dauter and is happy. Apart from that she has her own faction business and is doing very well with it. Everyone are doing the shadi preparations, Mutki is involved half heartedly. Every time she remembers Snaha harder but does not show it, soon the wedding begins and the seven steps are taken, Sharath puts on the mangalsuthr the sindur and they take everyone's blessings.

Finally the widia takes place and Akanksha huggs her family and goes away with Sharath. In the Guptha house Mukti is praying in front of Snaha's picture, "Babi aaj koi aur aap ki jaga lana ka lia aarahi hai…saab na usa accepted her lakin meri lia babi tho sirf aap hai…I miss you babi." She wipes her tears and moves away to welcome Akanksha. She gives a painful smile with the aarthi and welcomes them home. Only Sharath sees the pain she is desperately trying to hide. The next day morning, Mukti gets ready for collage dressed in a pink top with a blue jeans. When she comes down Akanksha is dressed in a light brown sari and making the shagun food. That is when Mukti walks into the kitchen for some juice, "Morning Akanksha…" she brushed of the calling of her name for she all ready knew what Snaha meant to Mukti. "Morning Mukti…hay today I am fixing shagun food so you can have normal breakfast from tomorrow on wards."

Mukti rolled her eyes, "Lucky me…seriously I have a long day ahead of me…" sipping her orange juice thinking. "So you are wearing sari because of the function right?"

"Yes why did you ask?" Akanksha looked at Mukti who simply shrugged.

"I won't be having breakfast hear by the way…I am going right now I have dance rehearsals." She marched out before Akanksha could respond with the can of juice she was drinking. Sharath walked in and whished Akanksha a good morning, who was stating after Mukti then came to her senses. "Ya go-good morning."

"Kya hua?" he asked taking his coffee.

"Mukti left with out having breakfast…said something about dance sections." She explained sensing something was seriously wrong.

"That. Leave her she told me about them…she is the in charge of the show and has to be there. She will have breakfast latter, she did take juice right?" Sharath asked suddenly concerted.

"Yes…she did take some juice." She smiled at her husband who came and hugged her, "I hope she is fine."

"Don't worry." And kisses her temple. Kamini sees how sad her new bahu is and decides to talk to Mukti. Just then Mukti comes back and says, "And Akanksha make sure you keep my food in the fridge I am coming back for lunch and I will have the food then." Akanksha smiles happily and Mukti says by to Sharath. Kamini feels happy she need not hold this issue and leaves it there, as Mukti runs out to the house. In the car she weeps a lot and drove away, Guptha saw this from the window.

In the collage Mukti watches the rehearsals tells something to the dancers when Prem walks in the auditorium. He watches her for some time, at the end of the dance show she told everyone to pack up. "Hay U.D so what's up?"

Prem studies her for a moment and then asked, "How is Akanksha?"

"Akanksha she is totally fine. Chalo I wan't to catch some breakfast…" she pulled him by the hand and went to the nearby caffa. As they ate breakfast Prem finally asked, "Tum aab thak usa bul nahi paya na?"

Mukti looked up, "Ithni achi thara jantha ho na muja." She has tears in her eyes and Prem wipes them. After breakfast they go back to collage, while Prem remembers the time he went to his sister's place. [Flash back] Some of Kamini's friends come all of a sudden unannounced. Snaha who had just returned from office was dressed in a denim cut of with a simple t-shirt. She did not know that Kamini's friends are down and comes in the same clothes, "Mama muja coffee chahiya." Just then Kamini's friend says.

"Ara Kamini teri bahu aisa kapda pehenthi hai?" she asked.

"Ismai kya problem hai ya tho teek hai Prema." Kamini asked but Snaha was already very hurt more by the next words.

"Araa bahu aisa kapda pehenthi hai aur tum isia bura nahi manthi hoo. Wah ya tera bada pan hai…" Snaha runs out crying but someone holds her hand and pulls her back. It is Mukti, she goes up to Kamini's friend, "Listen aunty, first of all jo meri babi pehenthi hai uspar aap ko kya problem hai?"

"Beta…vo kuch nahi, beti aisa sidi sadi kapda hai, tumhari chudidar-" but Mukti does not let her say everything.

"Bass, peheli bath ya hai ki mai chudiar mai isilia huu kuyki ek function par jana hai muja. Aur jaha thak meri babi, ko tho wester kapda ham saab ka saamna ki pehenthi hai. Jahan thak maina janthi hoon, aap ki beti na shadi ka bath kabi gar par nahi ayi. Vo bi isilia kyuki uski sasural mai jo pyar aur freedome milthi hai ki vo aap ka saath nahi mili." The woman gets the statement lound and clear that she has to shut up, just then Prem was standing there with Sharath. Sharath was looking at a file, for Prem when he heared this was totally shocked. "Ya ladki kaab sa gossip par invoived hui?" Sharath never heared Mukti speek like this before, expecially to elders.

"Aaga bolu? Aap na usko thang kiya kyuki vo aap ki sautali beti hai…you never loved her. Lekin uski saas par usa ek ma mila aur vo aap ka paas kabi wapas nahi aie. Jaha thak meri babi ki bath hai…vo meri chachi ki beti hai bahu nahi…" Mukti starts to storm of but the lady sarcastically says.

"Kammal hai Kamini teri banji ithna saab kuch kaha aur tum bilkul chup rahi ho." She coments but Kamini looks at her coldly. "Waisa tum tho ek bath teek hi kaha…vo kul ka pehenthi hai…apna tanga ko kull ka pehenthi hai."

Kamini can't take it any more. "Baas…ek aur shab bi kaha na. Dyan sa suno, jis kaam tum apna gar par karo. Meri gar par nahi." The friend is insulted enough and leaves. After the lady leaves and the rest of the women there agree that Mukti was right, one of them goes up to Snaha, "Beta don't feel bad. Even our bahu's weare such clothes we are very open with it…Prema ki bath ko bura math mano." Snaha smiles through her tears. "Lekin Mukti ithni harsh words…" says one lady, "beta mai manthi hoon ki tum apni babi sa bahuth pyar karthi ho lakin…"

"Aunty babi bai ki pathni hai, Sharath bai na meri parwarish kiya aur pyar diay. Usi ki pathni ko kisi na ya saab kiya aur mai chup rahu? Hai mai manthi hoon ki thora zayda hua lakin the way she spoke…" Sharath gave her a look and Mukti stops with a "Sorry baiya mai chalthi hoon by." [End of flashback] Prem wonders if Mukti would even accept Akanksha for a babi? He knew for a fact that she could never forget Snaha.

At home Mukti is eating the re-heated food except for the keer. Akanksha asks her and Mukti says, "Muja keer ithna acha nahi lagtha."

"Ara try tho karo dulhan." She feeds it to her but Mukti finds it too sweet and yells at her, "Ya kya pura chakar ka dukan daldiya kya?" she leaves without going back to her lunch. Kamini goes up to her and strokes her hair, "Beta Mukti na jo kuch be kiya…"

"Mummy ji muja usa zayada tahkleef pahoncha kyuki vo kaana aduri chod kar gai." Akanksha is very disturbed and Kamini goes to Sharath who is on the bamboo basket swing reading, "Beta…you have to talk to Mukti."

Sharath after hearing what happened is very angry, "Mom isma Mukti ka koi galthi nahi hai? Maina Akanksha sa kaha ki vo Mukti ko keer pasand nahi ayaga. She did not listen it's her falut." He angrily walks away to see if Mukti is all right, "Chotu…"

Mukti turnes around tear strained eyes, "Baiya vo baas I am sorry aap tho jantha hai ki muja meeti ceez bilkul pasand nahi."

"Jantha hoo aur Akanksha ko kaha bi. Don't worry I will talk to her."

Hay people,

"Jantha hoo aur Akanksha ko kaha bi. Don't worry I will talk to her." Sharath walked out angrily and nearly slammed his bedroom door with Akanksha in the room, "TUJE MUKTI KO ZABARDASTH KEER KILANA ZARURI THA KYA?"

Akanksha is in tears, "Ji... sorry.. v-vo ma ne kaha th-" she tried to explain but Sharath cut her off, "Kya teri ma Mukti ko mujse zyada janthi hai? NAHI NA THEI PROBLEM KYA HAI? TUME THO PATHA HAI KE MUKTI IS SHADI SHE KUSH NAHI HAI AUR USE LAGTHA HAI KE VO TUME SNEHA KE JAJE NAHI DE PAYEGI."

"I'm sorry main baas..." seeing her tears Sharath cooled down, "Deko Akanksha, main yeah tho nahi keheraha hoon ke tu vohi karo jo main chahatha hoon. Main baas yahe keha hoon ke Mukti ke mamle mai tum thoda se dyan se kaam lelo aur muje puche bagair koi kadam math lo. Kai yea kadam tuje door na lejaye use."

"I understand aur haan mai zarur koshish tho karungi... Mukti ki dill jeethne ke liya. Yaa aap mere saath hai?" she aksed looking into his eyes, he sighed and nodded gently hugging her for comfert more for him self than her. He needed that comfert at that time just for one purpouse, to find comfert in his life where he felt so alone. "Please take care of your self all right, Mukti is in a lot of pain now. She needs no more lectures from mum and dad."

"I'll try my best to stay out of her way Sharath." she replied, "Aur haan kya muje es waqth use baath karni chahiye?"

"Umm... haan shay - nahi, she's not at home, kai bahar ja rahi hai." she smiled through her tears, "Baad mai then."

"Excuse me..." Sharath showed her the ringing her phone and walked away from her, "Haan choto bolo."

"Biya mai Karan ke ghar thak jaa rahi hoon." she replied, "Kya achanak?"

"Haan thoda sa kaam hai mai aab chalthi hoon thoda sa kas kaam bhi hai." she replied, "Muje aane mai dher ho saktha hai."

"Don't worry about that, yahan situation mai handle kardunga." she replied, "Please, muje kafi badi mood out hogya hai. By...

"By..." he cut the line and ran a hand thorugh his hair Akanksha slowly placed a hand on his shoudler, "Kya vo bahoth karab mood mai hai?"

"Mujse ithni kaam boli thi ofcouse she is aur haan aaj dinner ke liya nahi aayegi." Sharath added lightly, inside he was worried, she was driving too fast. Something she does only when she is very upset or is going to save some one from something big. Iska mathlab hai ke vo Karan se milne nahi ja rahi hao, mujse vo joot kyun bol rahi thi?

Mukti was driving as she picked up her phone and dilled a number, "It's me, Mukti suno tume mere liya ek kaam karna padega. There is something you must know about from you vo nayi kaam jo Appo*na karne ja rahi haai vo kya hai?"

The voice on the other end replied, "Ma'am hum aap ko yeah baath malum karne mai thoda sa waqth laga saktha hai."

"Kambaqth waqth hi nahi hai mere paas. You must work harder bahoth loghon ke jaan ismai shamil hai." Mukti replied urgently, the girl on the other side, "Ajeeb hai aap jaise insan logon ko bhi logon ke jaan ke bare mai phikar rehthi hai."

"Jis baath ke baare mai tu puri tu nahi janthi uske baare mai baath maath karo." Mukti snapped, muje baas yeahe bolo ke tuje kaam ke liya kithne paison ke zarurath hai. Nothing more nothing less thab thak tum muje vo information nahi doge jo mai chahathi hoonn."

"Aare aajb hai aap ma'am teek hai.... boldethi hoon. lekin yea tho bathayie ke ke aap ko chahiye kya?" she asked, "Apni email check karo vahan tume sari details milega aur han dobara contact karne ke koshis maath karo. Us Email aur muje koi connetion nahi hai."

"Ji ma'am." she replied submisivly Mukti cut the line, it rang again the next second, "Haan Yudi bolo."

"Kaam hogaya?" she sighed, "Nahi aab thak tho nahi lekin haan she will do it, kafi tempted hai vo she will do this, use paison ki zarurath hai."

"How can you be so sure?" he asked, "Your forgetting who I higered for the job."

"Then why does Sharath not know as yet?" he countered her, "Aabhi aabhi uske duse shadi hua hai... abi use yeah kaam par involve karna problem hogayega. He needs time with Akanksha aur waise tum yeah bhool gaye ho kya ke yeah rishta banaya gaya tha, pyar se juda nahi."

"Haan haan baba yaad hai." he replied, "Aare Mukti ek minute there is a fax message comming inn. Zara inthzar karo na..."


Mukti kept driving when Prem suddenly came back, "MUKTI YOU THERE?"

"Haan kya hua koi problem..." she was cut of by Prem, "PROBLEM KA BAAP AARAHA HAI, U.S SE T.J AANE WALA HAI."

"T- T.J? K-kyun?" there was a fear in Mukti's voice, "Kai koi gadbad tho nahi hua na? Kya tumne level one ko inform kar diya?"

"Nahi aabhi karne walahoon Mukti there is somehting else as well..." he paused, she snapped at him, "KYA RE?"

"Koi tho hai jo hamare kaam ke baare mai bahar leek karna shuri kardiya hai." he replied, "Iska sif ek solution hai Prem we need to meet in our place. Jaldi!"

"Aur ek aur important baath hai. Karan ko maath bulana for now..." she added cutting the line, Prem turned to look at his best friend next to him confsued, "Kya hua ise, she always want you to know first?"

"Mera hone wala bacha... she is worried about it bro jantha hoon use." he replied, Prem nodded, 'If you say so."

"Muje jaana hoga apna kyal rakna." he toched him lightly before leaving the place. Prem took a can of his bear and gulped it down, "Aab hum kya kare?"
