As he felt GUNJAN move closer to him, SAMRAT felt a sense of relief. He continued looking ahead, not looking at her. As the rings were exchanged a round of applause broke out and SAMRAT heard the excited voice of GUNJAN as she looked at him and asked ... " Aap chalenge?? SUMIT Bhaiyaa aur ANKITA Bhabhi ko congratulate karne ke liye?? "
SAMRAT looked at her and was amused to see her excitement... her eyes twinkling, her smile making her look even more beautiful... he replied as he shook his head...his tone reflecting his disinterest..." No, wahaan kaafi saare log hain. Mujhe yeh sab pasand nahin. Waise bhi main usse already congratulate kar chuka hoon... "
As she heard his words, GUNJAN realized her over excitement. She quickly looked downwards momentarily and then, looking at him, she said...her tone low... " Sorry !! Mujhe pata nahin tha. Koi baat nahin. Aap yahin par reh sakte hain. Main abhi aayi... " and she quickly walked over to where the family stood.
She stood behind the many people who had gathered round the couple to congratulate them. SHARADA Jii saw GUNJAN standing alone and moved her right hand forward as she signaled GUNJAN to come next to her. GUNJAN smiled as she gingerly made her way towards SHARDA Jii and upon reaching her, stood next to her. As he looked around the sea of people surrounding him, SUMIT's eyes fell on GUNJAN and his aunt who stood a little away from him. He walked over to them and as he reached them, GUNJAN forwarded her hand for a congratulatory handshake, reciprocated by SUMIT. A light laugh later,
GUNJAN hugged SUMIT as she congratulated him. SUMIT hugged her back as he thanked her. then, he gently broke the hug as he led her towards his bride-to-be. GUNJAN hugged her tight as she congratulated her soon to be Bhabhi. Light conversation between the trio continued for sometime as SHARDA Jii looked at them lovingly.
Looking at the three, with a smile on his face, stood SAMRAT, excatly where GUNJAN had left him. As he looked at GUNJAN who looked very happy and was chatting at joking with SUMIT and ANKITA and was soon joined by Prof NANDA... SAMRAT could not help but think... (( Yeh kisi aur ki Engagement ke liye itni excited kyun hai?? Iss mein aisi bhi kaun si badi baat hai?? Sirf 1 ring hi toh exchange karni hoti hai.
Main toh apni engagement ke liye bilkul bhi excited nahin tha. Woh 1 general Party jaisi hi toh thi. Sirf mujhe woh ring RiCHA ko deni thi, aur uss se apne liye 1 ring leni thi. Just like a corporate deal... Iske liye itna hungama machane ki kya zaroorat hai?? Pata nahin yeh log har chhoti-chhoti cheezon ke liye itne excited kyun ho jaate hain?? Normal behave toh kar hi nahin sakte... ))
His chain of thoughts broken by a touch on his shoulders, he turned to look at the lady who stood there, a smile on her face as she said..." Arre !! Tum yahaan kya kar rahe ho?? Tumhein toh sabke saath hona chahiye tha. After all ab yeh tumhaari bhi toh family hai... "
SAMRAT looked at her in surprise as he spoke... moving a step back... " Excuse me?? "
The lady continued... her tone indicated that she was teasing him... " Aur nahin toh kya?? Ab itna anjaan banne ki bhi zaroorat nahin. Mujhe SHARDA ne sab bata diya hai. Aur maine toh uss se kaha bhiki, itna achha ladka usse kahin aur mil bhi nahin sakta... "
Confusion writ large on his face, SAMRAT looked at her and was about to say something, when the lady continued... " Main toh kehti hoon ' Chat mangni pat byah kar lo ', aakhir der hi kyun karni ?? Tum donon saath mein itte achhe bhi toh lagte ho... "
SAMRAT grit his teeth as he heard the lady speak and was about to say something when he heard a voice... a voice that helped him control his anger... he looked at her, as he saw GUNJAN walking up to the two of them... " Aunty... !! Aap... aap yahaan hain..?? Aur wo... woh Uncle aapko uss taraf... she pointed at the direction opposite to where they stood... dhoondh rahe hain. Unhone kaha ki woh aapke bina Dinner nahin karenge... "
The lady looked embarrassed as she said..." Hayyo Raba ! Yeh bhi naa. Itti umar ho gayi par abhi tak waise ke waise hain. Ghar ho yaa bahar, mere bina toh inka kuchh ho hi nahin sakta... "
She quickly turned to walk away when she stopped and turned around. She looked at GUNJAN who had a forced smile on her face...
The lady walked over to her and whispered... " Maine Munde se dassa hai ki zyada deri na kari !! Kudi changii hai toh 'Chat mangni pat byah kar le' GUNJAN was shocked to hear the lady speak.
She looked at her, but the lady was not bothered. She turned GUNJAN's face away from her and whispered again... Arre mujhe SHARDA ne sab bata diya naa. Maine usse bhi kaha ki munda change lagta hai, achhi family ka bhi hai toh, usse yeh rishta chhodna nahin chahiye... "
GUNJAN looked at her again, in confusion as she said, her tone soft... " Aunty ! Aap... yeh... aisa toh... "
But the persistent lady would not let GUNJAN speak... she cut her off as she continued... " Arre mujhse kya sharmana?? Achha ab chalti hoon. Shaadi kahin se bhi ho... Mujhe bulana mat bhulna... " and she walked away briskly to where GUNJAN had pointed out.
Gulping, GUNJAN slowly looked at SAMRAT. She quickly looked away as she saw his glare and was about to turn and walk away, when she stopped, her eyes widening in fear, as she saw SAMRAT had briskly walked over and stood in front of her... as he asked, his tone reflecting his thoughts...anger... " Kya main pooch sakta hoon, Yeh sab kya hai aur...aur... Yeh lady abhi kya keh rahi thi?? "
GUNJAN looked downwards
as she wet her lips and slowly looking up, she replied, her tone low... " Unhone aap se bhi kuchh kaha...?? she quickly looked downwards again, as she saw his glare again and asked... I... I mean...Unhone aapse kya kaha?? "
SAMRAT looked away as he said... his confusion evident in his tone...GUNJAN looked at him as he spoke... " I don't know... pata nahin kya-kya baatein kar rahi thi!!! Kuchh samjh hi nahin aaya. Chat mangni pat... pata nahin kaisa word use kiya tha. Keh rahi thi yeh ab tumhaari family hai, tumhein yahaan nahin, unn sab ke saath hona chahiye... aur ... aur...
He looked at GUNJAN who looked away quickly... SAMRAT continued...
kaha ki tum donon saath mein achhe lagte ho... is she mad?? Main wahaan akela khada tha, kisi ke saath nahin. Pata nahin usne kise mere saath dekh liya... 1 sec. !! Kahin woh yahaan meri marriage ki toh baat nahin kar rahi thi?? Psycho lady... "
He shook his head as he looked away... GUNJAN heaved a sigh of relief... she looked downwards yet,
when she heard SAMRAT ask... " Usne tumse kya kaha?? Aur... aur woh itna smile kyun kar rahi thi ?? "
She looked at him, startled... (( Thank God ! Inhein Aunty ki baat samjh nahin aayi, warna yeh samjh jaate ki... she shut her eyes as she gulped again... God !! Woh aisa soch bhi kaise sakti hain?? opening her eyes, she looked at him... Aaj toh definitely yahin par 1 scary scene ho jaana tha!! Agar inhein pata chala ki woh inhein Aryan samjh rahi thin, woh Aryan, jise meri family ne mere liye select kiya hai... phir toh meri khair nahin' Inhein lagega meri family indirectly inhein mere liye... inka koi bharosa nahin...Yeh kuchh bhi soch sakte hain... Mujhe kisi tarah iss topic ko yahin khaatm karna hoga))
She forced a smile as she stammered... " Oh wo... woh toh bas aise hi... wo... woh kya hai naa ki unhein... unhein mazaak karne ki aadat hai... woh... woh kya kehte hain' prank'... haan, woh prank kar rahi thin. Aap... aap naye haina, toh unhein laga hoga ki, wo... woh aap ke saath bhi Prank... "
She was interrupted as SAMRAT spoke... very angrily... " What... ?? Prank?? Prank with 'SAMRAT SHERGILL'?? How dare she?? Mujhe unke paas le chalo, phir batata hoon, mere saath Prank karne ka matlab kya hota hai. Wo...woh mujhe jaanti nahin... ??
He grit his teeth as he looked around... GUNJAN quickly spoke, in a worried tone as she tried to calm him down... " Sorry !! Unki taraf se main Sorry keh deti hoon. Aap mujhe unke prank ke liye punish bhi kar sakte hain. I'll accept all the punishment, Butplease unse kuchh mat kahiye... woh Hamari guest hain, agar aapne unhein kuchh kaha toh, unhein kaafi bura lagega aur... "
She trailed off as SAMRAT looked at her... he was surprised to see how caring she was towards everyone... how concerned she felt for all around her... he calmed down as he spoke in a gentle tone... " Its Ok !! I understand, but, unse kehna ki woh next time aisa kuchh naa karein. Mujhe marriage yaa usse related topic par prank pasand nahin. "
GUNJAN nodded her head as she said... "Ji... Ji... main... main keh doongi ! "
SAMRAT came closer to her as he said...very casually... " Fine !! n I... I can't believe ki tum bhi inn... inn all irritating rituals mein believe karti ho ? "
GUNJAN looked at him in surprise and asked... " Means..?? main samjhi nahin !! "
SAMRAT stood next to her and looked to where SUMIT stood with relatives, as they greeted him... then, SAMRAT looked at GUNJAN who was looking at him... he nodded towards SUMIT as he said... " See !! You brother... He wants to marry her... SAMRAT pointed to where ANKITA stood... Aaj uski engagement ki rituals hai... aur woh donon hi saath nahin hain. Why?? he looked at GUNJAN as he continued... Because of these Formalities. Woh wahaan sabke 'Aasirwaad' le raha hai, aur woh... uski hone wali wife... woh wahan sab ke aashirwaad le rahi hai he was pointing towards them as he spoke... GUNJAN looked to where he was pointing... he looked at GUNJAN , as he continued... You can see, unhein saath rehna chahiye, Lekin abhi woh donon hi saath nahin hain... kyunki unke paas ek dusre ke liye waqt hi nahin...
Arre agar 2 logon ko saath rehna hai toh raho naa. Tension kya hai...?? If You are not a minor, phir toh legally bhi koi problem nahin. Butyahaan toh Feelings se zyada, formalities ki hi tension hai... so ridiculous !! "
He shook his head as he folded his arms and looked at SUMITand the other family members. GUNJAN looked at him... much as she knew that SAMRAT was not like the others, his views about marriage and rituals hurt her... she said nothing...
SAMRAT looked at her as he moved to stand in front of her again and said..." Now... tell me... Kya tumhein ab bhi lagta hai ki yeh saari irritating formalities waale rituals complete karna zaroori hai?? Relationship Rituals se nahin... 2 different personalities ke understanding level aur ek dusre ke liye feelings ke basis par hi survive kar sakti hai "
GUNJAN kept looking at him and as he finished speaking, she glanced at where SUMIT stood. Then, she again looked at SAMRAT, and in a soft tone, she said... " Woh abhi saath nahin hain kyunki, woh chahte hain kiwoh hamesha saath rahein. Aap jin rituals ko formalities keh rahe hain, woh unke liye woh duayein hain jo unke saath hamesha rahengi... jo hamesha unhein saath rakhengi, jinki wajah se woh har mushkil se mushkil lamhon mein bhi hamesha saath hi honge...
She again looked at SUMIT and then at ANKITA. Then, she smiled as she looked at SAMRAT and continued....
Wishes toh dil se di jaati hain. Inki koi keemat nahin hoti. Agar inn rituals ki formalities se unhein woh mil rahi hain, toh yeh deal itni bhi buri nahin... "
As he heard her speak, SAMRAT was taken aback... he looked at her and then at SUMIT. He again looked at her. She was looking at her brother, a smile on her face. He frowned as he recollected her words...completely different from his POV...((Yeh inn rituals ko lekar kitni excited hai. Kitna seriously sochti hai inn cheezoon ke bare mein..woh cheezein, jo mere liye bilkul bhi importance nahin rakhti. Kya yeh sirf iss liye meri feelings ko ignore kar degi kyunkimain inn cheezon mein believe nahin karta?? Kya yeh meri aur RiCHA ki marriage ki formalities ko kabhi samjh paayegi??
His frown deepened as he clenched his fist...
What rubbish... Main bhi kya bekaar ki baatein soch raha hoon. SAMRAT SHERGILL ko koi 'Naa' nahin keh sakta.. aur woh waise bhi general view bata rahi thi. Uske liye sabse important yeh hai kimain usse pasand karta hoon.. usse pyaar karta hoon. Agar uski feelings sachhi hai, toh woh definitely mere problem n ambitions ko understand karegi, n I am really sure about her feelings))
He calmed himself and was about to say something to her when a kid skid to a halt near them and panting, he said... " Di ! Aapko Nanu ne kaha hai hai ki... Aap inhein [he gave SAMRAT a look... clearly indicating the irritation he felt...]lekar Garden area mein aao. Woh wahin aap donon ka wait kar rahe hain... " and without waiting for GUNJAN to say anything, he scurried off...
SAMRAT looked at GUNJAN questioningly as he said...
"Main samjha nahin... Garden area mein kyun?? "
GUNJAN smiled as she said..." Woh actually, Dinner ki arrangements wahin ki gayi hain. Uncle hamein Dinner karne ke liye hi bula rahe honge. Hamein chalna chahiye. Woh..."
SAMRAT interrupted her as he said... " Butthis time, I am not feeling hungry. Medicines ke saath juice liye the iss liye iss waqt dinner karne ki bilkul hi khwaish nahin ho rahi... aur waise bhi he looked at his right palm... as he continued... Iss injury ki wajah se main kuchh le bhi nahin sakta, except juice or soup !!"
GUNJAN looked at his right palm as she said...apologetically...
" Oh Sorry ! Mujhe bilkul yaad hi nahin raha. 1 sec... main abhi.... "
And she was about to walk away when she was stopped by SAMRAT as he said... " Its Ok. Mujhe really abhi khwahish nahin ho rahi... actually... " he paused...as he looked at her...his eyes conveying that he wanted to say something...
GUNJAN saw him hesitate and asked him... "Aap kuchh kehna chahte hain?? "
SAMRAT shook his head slightly as he said...his tone gentle... " Nahin... woh actually, I am feeling so tired. I want to take some rest. Iss liye thoda... I mean, Its Ok... tum jaao main yahin kahin thodi der aaram karna chahta hoon. Dinner ke baad ghar chalenge... main tumhaara... he looked at her...she was looking at him, waiting for him to complete his sentence. He looked away as he fumbled and then, he spoke...tumhaara intezaar karoonga... he looked at her...his tone was so loving, his eyes emitted warmth...
GUNJAN was looking at him, surprised to hear his tone...so gentle, so loving... as SAMRAT smiled, she realised she was staring at him and quickly moved her gaze away...after some moments of silence, she said..." Aap Parking Area mein mera wait kijiye. Main Uncle-Aunty ko bata kar aati hoon. Hum abhi ghar challenge... "
She was about to walk away, when again, SAMRAT stopped her as he said... " Lekin abhi toh Party khatm nahin hui...?? Tumne dinner bhi toh nahin kiya...? phir... Tum... "
GUNJAN looked at him as she smiled and said..." Aap chaliye. Main bas abhi aayi... " and turning around, she walked towards the garden where dinner was to be served... as he saw her walk away, SAMRAT smiled...he could hear the concern in her tone, he could see the concern in her eyes... all for him... he was feeling different... this kind of behavior from anyone for him was something he was not used to... but coming from GUNJAN , he was loving this behavior...
He turned and walked towards the entrance of the hall... barely had he reached the door, when he felt the vibration of a cell in his coat pocket. He took his cell out of the pocket and soon enough realised it was not his cell. After a moment, he remembered that he had GUNJAN's cell with him... he took it out of his pocket and his face clouded with anger as he saw the name flashing on the screen... 'MONISH Sir' !!
SAMRAT clenched his fist as he read the name... his eyes bloodshot... ((Yeh aise nahin maanega !! Isse batana hoga ki SAMRAT ki choice par nazar dalne ka anjaam kya hota hai... aur ab baat sirf choice ki nahin GUNJAN ki hai... Meri GUNJAN ki... ab main isse nahin chhodunga... ab batoon ka waqt khatm hua...ab isse sabak sikhana hi hoga ))
Angrily disconnecting the call, he hit his fist against the wall as he thought of something. Then, he took out his cell and made a call. After giving instructions, he looked at GUNJAN's cell and smirked. He made some changes on her cell, as he gave a victorious smile

Keeping both the cells in his pocket, he walked out of the venue towards the car park...(MONISH KHURANA... U R finished now. Ab dekhta hoon tumhein mujhse kaun bachata hai. Maine tumse pehle bhi kaha tha ki GUNJAN se door raho. Lekin tumhein meri baat samjh nahin aayi. But, no problem !!
SAMRAT SHERGILL ko tum jaison ko apni baat tumhaari hi language mein samjhana achhi tarah se aata hai. GUNJAN se baat karna chahte the naa, lekinab nahin. Maine iss cell ke new features ko set kar tumhaare number ko hi block kar diya hai. Ab atleast tum iss cell par toh uss se baat nahin kar sakte. Rahi baat kisi aur sources se baat karne ki, toh main tumhein iss kaabil hi nahin choodunga ki tum uss se baat kar sako... just wait n watch...))
