ArHi SS - Dil De Diya Hai: Part 18 Pg 119 - Page 48

Anjali is standing in the temple praying with her eyes closed. Her hands are folded and silent tears were flowing down her cheeks. Arnav's narration of Shyam's betrayal and deceit was playing in her mind. Khushi's distraught face was in front of her eyes and Arnav's helplessness was bothering her continuously. She started to say something when she heard Khushi's voice behind her, 'Hamara vishwaas hi humhe saath laya tha na, Di? Lavanyaji ko sikhane ke bahane hum aapko samajh paaye, yeh dekha ke aap apne pati se kitna pyaar karti hai. Hum uss din aapko batana bhi chahte the lekin ek mangalsutra tootne se aap itna darr gayi toh yeh jaankar aap kya karti?' Arnav notices Anjali not turning to look at Khushi and comes up himself. He tries to intervene but Khushi stops him from saying anything. Khushi says, 'Aapne sahi kaha ke hum chale kyun nahi gaye. Ek aur kadi judh chuki thi aapke ghar se, aapke chote se Di.' Anjali raises her head and looks to the side for Khushi to continue.

Arnav and Khushi look at each other and then at Anjali. Khushi says, 'Hum kab unse aise judh gay eke humhe pata hi nahi chala. Woh jhagde, galatfehmiyan, gussa aur dukh sab hamare ehsaas ke prateek the, Di. Hamare bachpanein ne ASR ke peeche chhupe hue Arnav ko dekha, aapke chote ko pehchana. Hum phir bhi unse door bhaagte rahe kyunki unko samajhne ke bawajood bhi hum unke gusse se darte the.' Anjali turns around with tears in her eyes. Arnav rushes to her and says, 'Di, aap ro rahe ho? Aapki tabiyat toh theek hai na?' Anjali says, 'Bas Chote aur kitna sharminda karoge apni Di ko?' Khushi comes forward and says, 'Di, hum darr gaye the. Na hum aapko bata paaye na Arnav ko. Aap dono ek doosre ka dukh dekh nahi paate. Uss din Arnav jab humne galati se chai pheki tab aapki aankhon se aasoon nahi ruke. Jab aap nahi mili tab Arnav ne kaha tha ke aap unki saari duniya ho. Jab aap aisi baatein bardaasht nahi kar paaye tab aap Shyam jaise insaan ka dhoka kaise sehte.' Anjali says, 'Aap hamare liye chup rahi?' Khushi takes hold of her hands and says, 'Di, hamare liye jaise Jiji waise hi aap hai.' She narrates what happened at Payal's wedding and Anjali listens aghast to the true face of her husband.

Anjali requests to sit somewhere and Arnav and Khushi sit beside her. Anjali says, 'Hum yaha iss liye aaye the taaki tum dono ka saamna karne ki himmat kar sake.' They look at her questioningly when she calls out to NK. NK comes and meets them happily. He turns to Khushi and says, 'Humne kaha na Khushiji, hum aapke raat hai.' Khushi smiles hearing him and says, 'Raat hai nahi, Nanheji, saath hai.' NK holds his ear and says, 'Right right, saath hai.' Anjali says, 'NK ke video camera mein sangeet aur shaadi ke din ki recording ki hui thi. Pata nahi kyun humne NK se uski woh copy maangi jis mein background music na ho aur humhe yeh mila.' NK plays the part where Shyam is talking to himself about how Anjali would die, Shyam would become a widow and then Khushi would marry him. Arnav and Khushi are horrified listening to the audio and Arnav says, 'How dare he? Main usse maar dalouga, Di.' Anjali holds his hand and says, 'Ruko Chote, please pehle humhe Khushiji se maafi maangne do.' Anjali goes to raise her hand and Khushi stops her saying, 'Nahi Di! Kisi ko kisi se maafi maangne ki zaroorat nahi thi. Shantivan ke pedh par Shyam Manohar Jha naam ki deemak lagi thi. Humhe bas usse nikaalna hai. Aap kabhi bhi humse maafi nahi maangegi.' Anjali pulls Khushi and Arnav in to a hug and NK joins in saying, 'Arre, main bhi! Main iss family ka kissa houn!' They all smile and collectively say, 'Hissa!!'
