Vichitra Thikaani


Suvi was starving but was too embarrassed to eat much. She flexed her back muscles stretching secretly

She noticed Neel's feet and turned red, she wasnt sure if she had ever seen his toes.

She sensed fluttering on the inside, soft strokes of thrill filling the walls of her shell

She looked up into his eyes

He was looking at her

Then he quickly turned away cautiously his gaze darting to his Amma

Amma and Mamiji were exchanging a glance

"Amm... ammma... woh mere ku bhi nahaane ka hey" she said softly

"Chai peeyen aap pehle, aur khaayen, naha bhi leejiye baad mein aur araam bhi kar leejiye Amma said cheerfully

"Aabha, inko aur bachi ko Sulekha-Sunanda ka kamra de rahin hain na aap?"

Aabha smiled building up some enthusiasm

She was still avoiding eye contact with Suvi

"Idhar aao beta" Mamiji called out to Aadhya, she sat in a corner watching on Suvi's ipad

Aadhya immediately set her ipad down and stood up and walked slowly to Mamiji

"Bachi ko woh Dubai ki lollipop laakar dein" Mamaji peered sideways from his newspaper

"Dadaji, Nihar ne 4 kha liye" Sunanda giggled

"Hum dekhte hain" Aabha fled the scene

"Nihad ka house kidar hey?" Aadhya asked curiously, lifting the edge of her frock spontaneously

"Aadhya" Suvi scolded

"Rehne do... bachi hai" Mamiji gathered her and sat her down on her lap

"Ek dam mulayam" she smiled as she rubbed her cheek on Aadhya's

Neel found himself scanning Suvi's neck and arms... he craved to feel them under his body.

The not so gentle jolt of stirring within caused the hairs on the back of his neck to be alerted

He shifted uneasily, crossing his legs hurriedly

Aabha returned with lollipop

Aadhya was overjoyed at the mickie mouse shaped pink swirly candy

"Hamne kya kaha aapko?" Mamaji wanted a pat on the back he bend down and asked Aadhya

Aadhya wasnt used to older men talking sternly to her she burst out crying and ran to Suvi

"Aadhya... shakkara... shushhh... umm... aajoba" "aajoba" Suvi explained

"To maajha aajoba aahe?" Aadhya asked with teary cheeks

Suvi nodded calmly

"aapana deachi hota mhanala?" (U said he was dead)

Suvi was extremely self conscious sweaty now

"Yahan aayd out and sought her

Aadhya slowly slid off Suvi's lap and went to him

Amma nodded appreciatively

The girls looked on confused

Aabha tried to appear confident

Mamiji was checking the front door knob as it would not shut

"Achha laga?" Amma asked pleasantly when Suvi had wiped her plate clean

Suvi nodded, in her nervous fear she had ended up eating a lot

Amma showed her the room, it was beautiful. There were two beds, one under each window

Aadhya showed up in a few minutes, "Meda house hey?" she asked

Sunanda not being mature herself bristled "Nahi yeh mera kamra hai"

Aabha shushed her

"Aapko pasand hai to aapka" Aabha said politely to Aadhya

And smiled... Aadhya walked up to her and hugged her

Suvi sat down nervously at the edge of the bed

"You settle down beta. Take a shower, listen to music and relax" Amma said closing the curtains

Aabha nodded, paused after she turned, and turned again "Aagar kuch chahiye to bejhijhak maang leejiye" she said

Suvi smiled weakly

Aadhya ran out chasing Sunanda

Neel appeared out of nowhere when she was placing her toothbrush in the bath vanity shelf

He bend down and kissed her smooth bare neck

"Suvechhha" he groaned

She froze the toothpaste falling clattering noisily in the ceramic wash basin

"Neel" she sighed
He turned her around

"Aapke chehre se rang kyon utra hai?" he asked shocked

"I feel" Suvi felt a lump in her throat

"Suvechha?" he urged

Her eyes filled up with tears as she stared timidly

"Yeh mamaji ka ghar hai... he is the most wonderful human being" Neel assured

"Mere ku aisa lag raha he I am in vegavegalya desha" she whispered

"Yeh Mumbai hai" he chuckled gently feeling her curves with his finger tips

She stepped back afraid

"Nihar?" she asked more awkwardly

His expression changed to one of thoughtfulness and worry

"Woh Pushkar ke saath Worli hain" he said

"He wont come to the wedding?" Suvi asked as if she knew what Nihar had yelled that morning

"Nahi" Neel lied, shocked

"Nahi?" all blood vanishing from Suvi's face

"Nahi... hamara matlab tha... nahi to" Neel stumbled

"Neel" Suvi scolded sternly

"Its all going to be OK" Neel cleared his throat and reassured, turned and left her to settle down

Vichitra Thikaani and Shoora vha

Beautiful breaking ice updates as each one of them is trying to put their best step forward under the circumstances to make suvi and aadhu feel part of their family.

Nisha, the emotions of every person involved has been captured so well. The line where you wrote Abha wasn't still making eye contact with suvi felt so in place. It feels like if I put my hand out I can touch Aabha or any of these characters as they come alive for me as I envision that space.

This is way different in content from software symphony's MM but one thing similar is the emotions captured of these characters who live in our head now. And you capture them in a frame like nobody's business. 👏

Yeh Dil maange more ❤️

Amma's majestic presence is growing on me. The respect she commands and the way she holds her own as she makes space in her heart and mind for the two of them puts her in the 'awe' zone for me.

The moments when the families are trying to welcome or embrace the bride or groom are many times fraught with nerves and with suvi, for us ... we become mother hens ... so when amma quietly assures suvi, we heave a huge sigh of relief as this is for sure not going to be a walk in the park .

Guptapaney Aasha

Suvi woke up sweaty, the window was smaller but there was a window on a wall she didnt recognize, when she calmed herself down she leaned back on the wall
She had had a dream that Tai had run out of the apartment screaming "I am being imprisoned" and the cops come and get her

Ruchi slept across from her on Sunanda's bed

"Kya hua?" she asked gruffly

"Umm.. mere ko paani peene ka hey" Suvi mumbled

"Hum laayen?" she smiled warmly

"No... u must sleep" Suvi reassured

Went out to get water

There were people sleeping on the floors and on divans and even on the sofa

The house was filling up, tomorrow was mehandi in the morning and sangeet/kirtan in the evening

Wedding was August 8th

Suvi felt the churn in the pit of her stomach

People turned and tossed in sleep, some even mumbled

It was all surreal to her.

She wanted to go to the balcony, but in Mumbai people tended to "grill up" their balconies for want of extra room

There was a divan and a old lady and a lil 4 year old were asleep on it

She didnt want to awaken Mamiji or Amma in attempting to go out.

She was literally shaking

Ruchi had worried and tailed her

"Bhabi" she whispered as Suvi was making her way through the tight bathroom area

"Raasta bhool gayin?" she joked

"Nai jab main night ko uthtee hai to hamesha balcony" Suvi chuckled nervously

"Bhai ke ghar pe chhath hai" Ruchi spoke a bit louder

An older gentleman grunted, coughed and moaned "Hareee Ommm"

And then a steady snore

They heard glass bangles tinkling, followed by young kids' whimper

The house was snug, every room the cooler and airconditioning ran in full blast

"Do u want to take a walk?" Ruchi asked peering at Suvi's expression

Suvi lowered her gaze as if that would change her feelings of anxiety

"Means" she began

The old man grunted, Ruchi pulled on her wrist, Amma had given many sets of glass bangles that evening

Suvi had worn mauve to match her suit

They enetered the bathroom

A tall plastic drum reflected the moon through the tiny window with glass shades, one of them chipped enough to send the whole moon inside

The two blue buckets were full too

The scent of hamam soap permeated everywhere

Something about all of that caused Suvi to immediately break down

"What hapened?" Ruchi panicked

She was afraid yet another catastrophe awaited her brother's life

Unlike what all the now sleeping relatives had expressed in hushed tones earlier in the evening, Ruchi believed there was only good things ahead

She lived with an extremely negative man, Pushkar was begative to the point of being bitter

The amount of intimacy between Ruchi and him had steadily declined in the last couple years after the birth of her second son.

She stood on the precipice of telling Amma and breaking it all off, or gritting her teeth and enduring it all. She was hoping her brother's second wedding would give her strength to address her own train wreck of a marriage.

"Su... Bhabhi" Ruchi tugged her wrist

"Means... your family is nice" Suvi sniffled

"To is liye ro raheen hain aap?" Ruchi smiled, she herself moved to tears now


"Pata nai mere ku I am scared Ruchi" "Can I call by name?" "Jeeji?" Ur Mamiji calls your Amma no?" Suvi stumbled

"Kuch bhi kahen aap" Ruchi said firmly

"Tai is not a good person Ruchi. Mere ko dream aaya ki Tai flat se bahar gayi, rotey hue" Suvi looked shocked all over again, fine beads of sweat forming near her upper lip

Standing in the muggy Mumbai bathroom was not making them feel any better.
Suvi hoped that somehow by the time she returns to Delhi Tai would have abandoned the flat and vanished

Ruchi nodded uncomfortably

The fact that the only person that her new future bhabhi was associated with wasnt coming to the wedding... this fact was not lost on the immediate and extended family

Pandits were BIG on family and bonds

This was a clear anomaly

AMMA showed up suddenly at the bathroom door shocked

"Kya hua?" she asked confused

"Nahi Amma inko raat ko balcony mein khara rehne ki aadat hai " Ruchi smiled trying to make things better

"Raat ke do baje?" Amma was shocked

"Amma... I had a dream so I was shocked" Suvi spoke softly

"Har sapne ko sach na maanen aap" "Kuch sapne bas... wohi hain... sapne" Amma smiled cheerfully

The aging weather beaten face, sparkled with wisdom like vintage champagne.

Amma held her other wrist... and looked up to see the now dull mauve bangles tinkle on her wrist

"Yeh to achhe lag rahe hain aap par" she said comfortingly

"Thanks" Suvi was barely able to mumble, choked up as she was

"Neel Nihar ko laayenge subah naashte mein" Amma said her voice brimming with hope.

Afterall they were all secretly hoping...
