May be.. some times we expect much from our partner and when we didn't get that we feel the relationship is not going correct..

Yes. The scenario will be clear more in upcoming updates

ANANT- then why didn't you denied.?

Asked Anant when navya told him about next day's teej festival. They were standing outside navya's house..

NAVYA- to..?? What should I have done? Mom was requesting me.. wo bhi bar-bar..

Said Navya in a disbelief. Anant sighed.

NAVYA- she knows it very well that I have never done a fast on this day.. but still... She expects it from me..

Said Navya sounding little angry. Anant thinks about something.

ANANT- you just call her and say you can't come tomorrow..

Navya looks at him startled.

NAVYA- you know I will not do that..

ANANT- why?

Navya sighed and continued.

NAVYA- listen anant.. I can't hurt maa like this.. mujhe ye acha nahi lagta he..

Anant nods in disbelief..

ANANT- I don't understand you navya.. on one side you says ki tumhe in festivals me interest nahi he.. on other hand you say you don't want to hurt the family... What you want to do then....?

Anant raises his voice which shocks navya.

NAVYA- anant... Chillao mat..

Navya makes him quiet and he looks down feeling sorry. After a moment she continued..

NAVYA- waise... Mom hasn't ask me to keep fast.. I mean she didn't said anything directly..

Anant looks at her while she too thinks about the matter.

NAVYA- anyway.. me dekhti hu.. atleast kal puja to attend karlu..

Anant nods at her in agreement. Navita and Gaurav came near them.

GAURAV- hey...

They greeted anant and Navya. Navya took 2 years old gudiya in her hand..

NAVYA- awwlee.. gudiya.. how are you baby..??

Gudiya became happy looking at her navya masi while Anant watch both of them.

NAVITA- anant.. chalo na upar..

ANANT- no dii.. I'll leave.. I just came here to drop navya..

Navita nods at him.

GAURAV- ok then.. see you..

Anant hugs gaurav and bids adieu to navya and Navita and leaves from there. While rest of them proceed upstairs..

*****

Navya and Navita were in her room with gudiya.

NAVITA- so.. what's up..?

Navita makes gudiya sleep besides her so that the sisters can talk.

NAVYA- kuch nahi dii.. normal office..

Said Navya casually. Navita observes her to be tensed.

NAVITA- how's anant?

NAVYA- nice .. use kya hoga?

Navita nods her head at this.

NAVITA- and what's with Bajpayees...

Navya looks at her and then looks down.

NAVITA- kya hua he navi?

Navya just nods her head but then turns around to face her

NAVYA- tomorrow there is a puja at anant's place...

NAVITA- oo.. kk.. then?

NAVYA- then what dii.? Kal teej bhi he. You know na... Maa will expect from me that I'll keep a fast... But then that is not going to happen.. and hence she will get hurt..

Said Navya nodding in disbelief. Navita sighed looking down

NAVITA- I don't understand why your saas expect these things from you.

Said navita while navya frowns at her

NAVYA- dii... Koi burai nahi... Mom is so sweet..

Navya warns navita while she smile at her.

NAVITA- so what have you decided for tomorrow. Are you going?

Navya thinks for a while and nods in yes

NAVYA- Puja he to Jana to padega. But....

Navya stops in between and again thinks something

NAVITA- but what?

NAVYA- I don't know what I'm going to do about teej...

Said Navya getting sad. Navita too gave a worried look.

NAVITA- don't worry. Anant will be there na. He will handle.

Said navita making navya understand while navya gave a look at her

NAVYA- anant?? Really?? Dii use agar ye sab chize handle karna aati na to bat hi kuch aur hoti...

Said Navya in a disbelief. Navita looks sad.

NAVYA- leave it.. I'll see tomorrow...

Navita gave her a light smile and nods her head in agreement. She slept beside gudiya while navya also rests herself thinking about the teej festival. She gets the flashback of memories...

*****FLASHBACK*****

It was first teej festival of Navya after their marriage. Navya was getting ready in her room when Sugandha enters.

SUGANDHA- navya.... Beta.... Wo.....

She stops in between looking at Navya.

SUGANDHA- navya.. you are going anywhere?

Asked Sugandha looking at her from top to bottom. Navya looks at her in confusion

NAVYA- maa... Office...

Said Navya casually. While Sugandha looks shocked.

SUGANDHA- office..?? But navya... Aaj tumhari peheli teej he.. ghar me sab mehman ayenge... And you are going to office..??

Said Sugandha sounding worried. Navya smile at her and held her from shoulder

NAVYA- relax maa. I know Ghar me puja he. I'll be back till afternoon.. actually mom I am having very important meeting today. So I've to attend..

Said Navya requesting. Sugandha looks sad. Navya observes her expressions

NAVYA- don't worry mom. I will be back soon. Promise...

Sugandha sighed and nods in agreement

SUGANDHA- acha listen.. jyada Daud bhag mat karna. Rat tak fast he na. You will get tired ok....

Sugandha adviced her. Navya looks at her in confusion

NAVYA- maa... Fast..??

Asked navya getting confused.

SUGANDHA- yes... Acha listen you can have fruits ok. Stay hydrated......

NAVYA- mom..mom.. wait...

Navya interrupts her.

NAVYA- I have not fasted today..

This revelation makes Sugandha shocked.

SUGANDHA- kya..?

Navya nods her head in yes.

SUGANDHA- but beta... It is your first teej.. and.. I have told you yesterday na.. that we all have to fast....

NAVYA- yes mom you have told.. but I am not used to these things.. plus maa.. ye vrat and all.. I don't believe in these things..

Said Navya explaining herself. Sugandha listen to her still looking shocked.

NAVYA- aap hi batayiye.. agar me in Chizo me nahi manti aur adhe adhure Mann se ye sab karti, to kya ye acha rehta?

Sugandha looks down. Navya feels bad for her.

NAVYA- maa.. please don't get angry with me.. I have told Anant to speak with you.. but I am sure he has forgotten...

Said Navya complaining.

SUGANDHA- anant knew about this?

Navya nods her head in yes. Sugandha looks more sad. Navya looks at her watch.

NAVYA- mom I am getting late. I will go?

Sugandha nods her head in yes. Navya hugs her and takes a leave from there

NAVYA- I will come soon.. don't worry..

Said Navya going from there. While Sugandha kept on looking at her still looking sad...

*****FLASHBACK ENDS*****

Navya sighed remembering the day. She looks at her side and smile looking at gudiya and Navita. Both were sleeping amd Navita was lightly patting gudiya's head. Navya smile lightly..

NAVYA- kash.... Wo sab hamare sath nahi hua hota Anant....

Said Navya to herself. She became sad and turns around to sleep...

*****

The older generations have a hard time letting go of these traditions. They firmly believe in them.

Navya enters the Bajpayee mansion next morning where preparations for puja was going on.

NIMISHA- bhabhi...

Nimisha runs towards her and hugs her.

NAVYA- how are you.?

NIMISHA- I'm good.. and also... I am selected for the job..

Said nimisha excitedly while navya becomes happy.

NAVYA- really..!? Wow.. congratulations..

NIMISHA- thank you bhabhi..

They both again hugs each other.

NAVYA- when you have to join.?

NIMISHA- next Monday.. and I am too excited for it..

Navya nods her head. Her eyes falls on Sugandha who was coming near the girls.

NAVYA- good morning maa..

Navya takes her blessings and she caresses navya's head.

SUGANDHA- bas bas... good morning beta..

NIMISHA- come bhabhi.. dadi ke pas chalte he..

Said nimisha pulling navya towards dadi when Sugandha interrupts them.

SUGANDHA- aa..bb... Navya... Wo...

Sugandha struggles to ask while navya looks confused.

NAVYA- what happened maa..?

Sugandha smile at her lightly.

SUGANDHA- you want something..?? I mean...

NAVYA- no maa.. me ghar se breakfast karke ayi hu..

Said Navya while Sugandha's smile disappeared as navya didn't fast. Nimisha took navya near dadi.

NAVYA- good morning dadi..

DADI- bless you beta..

Dadi makes navya sit near her. She helps dadi with the flower garland which dadi was preparing.

NAVYA- subah ki medicine li.?

Asked navya getting strict while dadi laughs at her and nods in yes. Sugandha watches them smiling sadly. Om comes near her.

OM- Sugandha... Pandiji is coming. Everything is prepared.?

Asked Om busy in his phone. When Sugandha doesn't reply he looks at her and her sight.

OM- Sugandha..??

He patted on her shoulder to gain her concentration.

SUGANDHA- you were saying something..?

OM- kaha dhyan he.? What are you looking for.?

Asked Om getting confused.. Sugandha holds his hand and takes him to a corner.

OM- Sugandha..?? Kya..??

Om smirks at her while Sugandha nods in disbelief.

SUGANDHA- oho.. kabhi to serious hojayiye..

Om laughs at her while she pouts.

OM- acha tell.. what happened..?

Sugandha looks down and then continued after a moment.

SUGANDHA- navya... She didn't fast today.. for teej..

Om looks at her in disbelief.

OM- and give me one reason why would she fast.?

Asked Om crossing his arms while Sugandha looks down.

OM- come on Sugandha.. please accept the truth.. divorce ke bad bhi navya humse hamari family se rishta rakhti he, this is only enough for us..

Said Om making Sugandha understand. While Sugandha nods lightly.

OM- and now listen.. don't say anything regarding this to Anant and Navya.. ok..?

Sugandha looks at him and nods in yes. They both goes from there near everyone.. Navya took the plate of flowers and turns around to get bumped into Anant.

NAVYA- ouch...

ANANT- sorry...

Both of them looks at each other.

NAVYA- dhyan kaha he tumhara?

ANANT- sorry baba...

Navya nods her head in disbelief. Nimisha came there carrying a plate.

NIMISHA- bhabhi.. mom has prepared garam garam pakodas.. let's have it..

Navya nods at her. She looks at Anant.

NAVYA- you also come. Tumhare favourite hai.. paneer pakodas..

Said Navya looking at the dish while Anant looks at nimisha.

NIMISHA- bhai will not eat today....

Said nimisha hurriedly. Anant gave a look at her and she bit her tongue in embarrassment. Navya looks at them.

NAVYA- why..??

Asked Navya looking suspiciously. Anant cleared his throat.

ANANT- because I eat already..

Anant took the flowers plate from navya and goes from there before navya could ask him anything further..

*****

The puja has started in Bajpayee mansion. Everyone were sitting around the hawan kund with joined hands. Navya was looking at Anant now and then and was thinking about the incident happened before sometime. She remembers a past incident...

*****FLASHBACK*****

It was navya's first teej. Guests has arrived in Bajpayee mansion. Navya came back from office and Sugandha came near her.

SUGANDHA- navya.. kitni der..??

NAVYA- sorry maa.. you know traffic right..

Said Navya apologizing. She looks around where everyone were looking at her. She smile at them greeting them with namaste.

SUGANDHA- go now. Get ready fast..

Navya nods and was about to go when Sugandha stops her again.

SUGANDHA- navya...

Navya looks at her.

SUGANDHA- wo... Sabke samne.. aise behave karna jaise... You have a fast today..

Said Sugandha in a whisper. Navya looks confused. She was about to say when Sugandha again interrupts her.

SUGANDHA- navya... Do as I say beta.. please..

Sugandha requested her. Navya nods lightly and goes in her room. She throws her bag on bed and looks frustrated. Anant who was sitting on bed came near her.

ANANT- what happened. ?

NAVYA- why didn't you tell mom that I am not interested in fasting.?

Asked navya getting angry on Anant.

ANANT- me batane wala tha... But..

NAVYA- when..??

Navya interrupts him. She crossed her arms and waited for him to continue.

ANANT- I was about to tell her. And I was about to handle it on my own way.. but tumne pehele hi unhe sab bata diya..

Said Anant nodding in disbelief. He moves near the mirror to wear his kurta and Navya follows him.

NAVYA- what were you going to tell mom.?

Asked navya while Anant buttons his kurta and looks at her.

ANANT- that you are not well. And to take medicines you will need to have your food. And that is why you will not fast..

Said Anant giving her answers. He took the hair brush and brushes his hair.

NAVYA- tum jhut bolne wale the.?

Anant sighed and looks at navya.

ANANT- Navya agar kisi ka Mann rakhne ke liye thoda jhut bole na.. to chalta he..

He said getting irritated. He moves near the wardrobe and navya follows him.

NAVYA- mujhe nahi chalta he anant.. niche sab guests aye hue he.. and mom wants me to pretend in front of them.. why would I do that? I don't like to lie and you know that..

She said shouting while Anant shuts the door of wardrobe loudly.

ANANT- then what you want? Navya jabse hamari shadi hui he na, we are living the way you want.. just for the first time listen to me and keep quiet in front of the guests...

Said Anant joining his hands. Navya looks aside feeling frustrated.

NAVYA- fine.. do what you want..

She opens the wardrobe and took out her saree. And shut the wardrobe loudly. Anant closed his eyes in frustration.

ANANT- Navya please.. sab ke samne tamasha karna he kya..?

Navya looks at him in surprise.

NAVYA- me tamasha kar rahi hu..?? Anant....

The door knocks interrupting their fight. Both of them finds nimisha looking at them.

NIMISHA- bhai... Bhabhi... Atleast close the door..

Said nimisha requesting while Anant and Navya looks at each other.

ANANT- kya kam he tujhe..?

NIMISHA- mom is calling you both.. hurry up..

Said nimisha looking at them. Navya sighed and continued.

NAVYA- nimmi.. give me 10 minutes. I am coming..

Nimisha smile and leaves from there. Navya was about to go in washroom when her eyes falls on table where food was kept.

NAVYA- ye khana yaha kyu rakha he.? Anant.. if you don't want to eat then keep this in kitchen atleast..

Said Navya in a disbelief.

ANANT- mera aaj fast he..

Reveals anant while navya looks surprised.

ANANT- it was for you. I thought you must be tired when you'll be back from office. Hence I brought it for you..

Said Anant looking down. Navya kept on looking at him. He was about to go from there when navya holds his hand.

NAVYA- tumne mere liye... Fast... Why anant..?

Anant looks at her and smile lightly.

ANANT- you don't believe in these rituals. But I do..

He leaves from there while navya kept on looking at him.

*****FLASHBACK ENDS*****

Navya was still looking at Anant. His eyes falls on her. He actioned her asking what happened and she lightly nods her head in nothing. She concentrated in the puja while Anant smile looking at her...

*****

He kept a fast for her, but she didn't. He believes in the rituals but she doesn't. Anant is eight about one thing. Sometimes you do things to keep someone happy, even if you don't believe.

Yes.. she's more practical than being emotionally attach..

Everyone were present near the mandir where the ladies were performing "teej" puja. Anant and Navya stood beside each other watching them doing. Dadi recites the story and importance of the festival.

DADI- The festival of teej is dedicated to Goddess Parvati and her union with Lord Shiva. According to legend, Parvati had to go through 108 cycles of birth and rebirth, until Lord Shiva finally agreed to marry her.

Navya and Anant looks at each other. They kept on staring each other until dadi continued her story.

DADI- The Goddess Parvati is also known as Teej Mata and Hindu women around the world pray to her on this festival for the protection of their husbands and observe a full day fast for their well-being..

Navya looks surprised hearing the story. She has learnt for the first time about the fast and it's importance. Sugandha along with other women started doing their puja and Navya watched them. Anant's eyes falls on navya and he feels sad. He leaves from there upstairs and Navya watch him going...

*****FLASHBACK*****

NIMISHA- bhai... Bhai...

Nimisha called Anant as he was talking with om after the teej ceremony got over. He goes near nimisha.

ANANT- what happened..??

NIMISHA- bhabhi is calling you.. upstairs....

Anant looks confused. He looks at Om while nimisha observes his expressions.

NIMISHA- aap jayiye.. If papa asked, I will say that you slept..

Smile nimisha at him while he nods in agreement. He went upstairs in the terrace.

ANANT- Navya...

He calls navya but there was no one. His eyes falls on the table where plate carrying food was kept.

NAVYA- it's for you only...

Anant turns around to witness navya who was standing crossing her arms. She moves towards him and holds his hand taking him towards the table.

NAVYA- betho...

She said without looking at him. Anant smile at her. He follows her words while navya takes a bite of chapati and sabji and takes it near anant.

NAVYA- hmm...

She indicates him to open his mouth. Anant again follows her while she feeds him the food.

NAVYA- what's so funny..??

Asked navya when she witnessed Anant smiling. He looks at her and nods in nothing.

ANANT- kuch nahi.. yu hi...

Navya continued feeding him.

ANANT- Did your anger calm down?

Asked anant in a smirk. Navya gave him a look and hands him a glass of water.

NAVYA- If I was angry, I would not have called you here and feed you..

Said Navya still not looking at him. Anant giggles and takes her saree's pallu and wipes his hand.

NAVYA- anant... How many times should I tell you.. to not do this ..

Said Navya shouting. He gets up and holds her from waist.

ANANT- me to karunga.. I love to tease you..

Navya smile and nods in disbelief.

NAVYA- tum na... Kabhi nahi sudhroge..

Anant pulls her towards him and whispered..

ANANT- me kabhi sudharna bhi nahi chahta...

They both looks at each other. Anant pulls her more closer to him.

NAVYA- anant.... Aaj nahi... I'm tired..

Said Navya trying to loose his grip. While he makes the grip more strong.

ANANT- I am not able to listen what you are saying..

Navya smile and looks down. Anant makes her look at him while her eyes were closed..

ANANT- Aa Ke Bharloo Bazuon Mein

Tumko Hai Kasam

Jaan Meri Jaa Rahi Sanam

Jaan Meri Jaa Rahi Sanam...

Navya opens her eyes looking at him in surprise. She nods her in disbelief while Anant smirks at her...

ANANT- Aa Ke Bharloo Bazuon Mein

Tumko Hai Kasam

Jaan Meri Jaa Rahi Sanam

Hoo Jaan Meri Jaa Rahi Sanam

He kissed her forehead. She looks at him and smile.

NAVYA- Aa Ki Bharloo Bazuon Mein

Tumko Hai Kasam

Jaan Meri Jaa Rahi Sanam

Jaan Meri Jaa Rahi Sanam

He moves near her lips and she turns around to go. He held her wrist stopping her.

ANANT- Kya Mohabbat Hai

Kya Nazaara Hai

Kal Talak Ye Dil Tha Mera

Ab Tumhara Hai

He kissed her wrist and she turns towards him. She keeps her head on his chest and holds him tight..

NAVYA- Kya Tamanna Hai

Kya Ishara Hai

Hamne To Pal Pal Tadap Ke

Pal Guzaara Hai

Ho Hamne To Pal Pal Tadap Ke

Pal Guzaara Hai

She leaves him and holds his face in her palms. He took her in his arms.

ANANT- Dekho Dekho, Dekho Dekho

Ab Karo Na Mujhpe Yu Sitam

Jaan Meri Jaa Rahi Sanam

Hoo Jaan Meri Jaa Rahi Sanam

He looks at her requesting with his eyes while she pressed her smile. She nods her head lightly making him happy..

NAVYA- Aa Ki Bharloo Bazuon Mein

Tumko Hai Kasam

Jaan Meri Jaa Rahi Sanam

Jaan Meri Jaa Rahi Sanam

He twirls her round and she stops him. They both headed towards their room. He makes her stand on her feet and closed the door behind them.

NAVYA- Kya Ladakpan Hai

Kya Jawaani Hai

Ab Tumhare Naam Saari Zindagani Hai

She sat on the bed. Anant follows her and sat behind her. He kissed at the back of her head and she closed her eyes..

ANANT- Kya Haqeeqat Hai

Kya Kahaani Hai

Saamne Mere, Mere Sapno Ki Rani Hai

Hoo Saamne Mere, Mere Sapno Ki Rani Hai

Navya turns around and smile looking at him. She sleeps on the bed and looks at Anant.

NAVYA- Ab Saha Na

Ab Saha Na Jaaye Mujhse

Doori Ka Ye Gham

Jaan Meri Jaa Rahi Sanam

Hoo Jaan Meri Jaa Rahi Sanam

Anant sleeps beside her and takes her in his arms. She hugs him tightly while he started kissing on her shoulder.

ANANT- Aa Ki Bharloo Bazuon Mein

Tumko Hai Kasam

NAVYA- Jaan Meri Jaa Rahi Sanam

ANANT- Jaan Meri Jaa Rahi Sanam

Anant looks at her and kissed on her lips lightly. He turns the lights off and covered themselves with the comfort making love...

Jaan Meri Jaa Rahi Sanam...!!!

*****FLASHBACK ENDS*****

Anant opens his eyes remembering the moments spend with navya. He looks around to find himself alone standing in the terrace. He sighed and nods his head in disbelief. Suddenly he felt someone's hand on his shoulder. He turns around to witness navya standing with a plate in her hand.

ANANT- Navya..??

NAVYA- ye.... Tumhare liye...

She said showing him the covered plate. He looks confused. She opens the cover of the plate.

NAVYA- dinner... Have it...

ANANT- but why you have brought it here.? I mean... Let's have with everyone...

Said Anant while navya stops his holding his hand.

NAVYA- Puja is over. Everyone will have their dinner now. Tum bhi... Yaha... Apna fast tod do...

Said Navya looking at him. He looks at her in surprise. She keeps the plate on the table and makes him sit. He remembers the moments spend on their first teej.

NAVYA- kya hua.?

Asked navya witnessing his expression.

ANANT- how do you know about this.?

Navya gave him a look..

NAVYA- I know you very well.. tum tab bhi aise the, aur aaj bhi waise hi ho... Tum kabhi nahi sudhroge...

Said Navya in a disbelief while Anant smile at her.

NAVYA- have it...

She indicates him to have his food. Anant indicates her to sit and she does so.

ANANT- tum bhi khao..

He said taking a spoon of rice near her. She looks at him and he keeps the spoon down understanding her look.

NAVYA- you have it.. me niche Jake kha lungi..

Anant nods at her in yes. He started having his food and she kept on looking at him. Nimisha who was standing at the door smile looking at them. She turns around to go.

NIMISHA- Wish everything was the same...

Said nimisha smiling sadly. She goes from there keeping Anant and Navya alone...
