Thanks everyone. I was tempted to write this ff after watching JWM as i could visualize our chirpy Mahi as Kareena's character. I will make a few changes in the script based on the flow of the story but the basic premise will be the same as the original movie.
Please let me know if u get bored at any point if it is too close to the movie. I will try my best to make variations from the movie and 'maayka-ise' it 😆
Jiya...I agree with u, this is a short ff with only 1 couple- MS 😳
PART 2
RECAP: "Roko…roko…..meri train!" she yelled and finally boarded the moving train.
"Madam…..chalti huyi train se chadhna bahut khatarnaak hai," a fellow passenger commented.
The girl smiled, "fitteh mooh tera! Maine aaj tak koi train miss nahin ki hai….aur na hi karoongi!"
The girl squeezed her way through the narrow passage in the compartment.
She stopped at a berth and saw a tall, sullen looking young man looking out the window, sitting on her seat.
"Excuse me….hello…..sunojee…..cough cough," she tried her best to get his attention. He finally looked at her, "aapne mujh se kuch kaha?"
She grinned, "jee nahin….train ki khidki se baat kar rahi thi…..mujhey aadat hai khidki…darwaaze……parde…..suitcase…..kisi se bhi baat kar leti hoon…..bas insaano se baat karna nahin aata mujhey," she scoffed.
"I am sorry…is this your seat?" Shabd asked
"Jee nahin….bas shauk hai aur logon ki seat par baithne ka," the girl grinned again and tried to push her bags onto the top berth. She was quite petite and could not push her bags all the way securely; she pushed 2 bags under the berth and then stood on the lower berth to place her third bag on the top.
Shabd stood behind her as she pushed her bag onto the top berth. As soon as she had placed her bag, she looked down but accidentally mistimed her foot on the berth. Her foot slipped and she came crashing down to the hard floor. Shabd just stared at her and was too stunned to say or do anything.
The girl stretched her hand, 'zara haath do…..haath do na…..itna darrte kyun ho? Main tumhe khaa nahin jaaongi," she lay on the floor with her arm outstretched hoping to get some help from this tall stranger.
"Oh….oh…sorry," he gave his hand to her and helped her on her feet.
"Jee main Mahi Malhotra….Mahi Malhotra from Bhatinda!" she shook his hand as she finally stood on her feet.
Shabd nodded his head and pulled his hand away.
Mahi was bewildered at this odd man, "problem kya hai aapki? Pehle tho kisi aur ki seat par baith gaye…phir dekha ki ek 5 foot 3 ki ladki se saamaan rakha nahin jaa raha……lekin khade khade dekhte rahe…..phir wo ladki gir gayi….tab bhi usey ghoor ghoor kar dekhte rahe……koi bimaari hai aapko?" she touched his forehead, "ya phir aap kuch pagal type ke hain….ya phir ladkiyon ko kasht mein dekhna pasand hai aapko?…ya phir….."
"SHUT UP!" Shabd yelled in frustration, "just shut up will you? Meri problem ho TUM! Tumhari yeh bak bak….kya thodi der chup nahin reh sakti kya?"
Mahi's eyes lit up, "dekha….iska matlab aapko sach much koi problem hai…bhala koi ajnabee kisi doosre par itna naaraaz hota hai kya? Aao baitho," she held his hand and helped him sit across from her, "haan ab batao….kya problem hai aapki?" she had a big smile on her face.
Shabd rolled his eyes in frustration, "please…whatever your name is…."
"Mahi…Mahi Malhotra from Bhatinda!" she grinned, "ab bhoolna nahin….waise mujhey Bhatinda mein sab jaante hain…..aap kabhie Bhatinda gaye hain? Kabhie jaaye tho bas poonch lena Mahi kahan rehti hai…..wahan sab mujhey jaante hain…..main wahan sabki ladli hoon…..waise aap kahan jaa rahe hain?" she blabbered on and on.
Shabd was ready to pull his hair; he got up and was about to leave when the ticket conductor walked in, "TICKET!"
Shabd realized that he had virtually walked into the first train he spotted on the platform; he had no ticket and no idea where this train was going.
"Jee….mere paas ticket…." Shabd lowered his eyes guiltily.
Mahi sensed his predicament, "conductor saheb….yeh 2 ticket hain hamari…..Bhatinda tak ki," she took out one ticket from her purse and one from her inside her kurta, and handed 2 tickets to the T.C.
Shabd was really surprised; he looked at her curiously but she just winked at him and shushed him with her finger on her lips.
The T.C left after confirming the reservations.
"Thanks…lekin yeh 2 ticket kis liye hain tumhare paas?" Shabd could not help asking
"Yoon hi!" she laughed, "aisa hai…mujhey bhoolne ki bahut aadat hai….main kai baar cheezein khareed kar bhool jaati hoon….iss liye ab maine faisla kiya hai ki ab har cheez ki duplicate khareed kar rakhoongi…..dekho kaam aa gayi na aaj ticket? Maine socha hai shaadi ke liye bhi 2 dulhe tayyar rakhoongi…..kahin ek ko bhool gayi tho doosra kaam aa jaayega," she chuckled loudly at her own P.J.
Shabd shook his head and sat down; his head was pounding from his sorrow, hunger, sleepless nights and now he had a bigger headache sitting right in front of him.
He had a plan; as soon as she would fall asleep, he would leave this train and get off at the nearest station.
Mahi sat down on her berth with her legs folded and took out a box from one of her bags.
As soon as she opened the box, the compartment was filled with an aroma of mango aachar and puris. Shabd stared at the food; his gastric juices started flowing at the sight and smell of food, but he just looked away- that was the last thing he needed from this strange, boisterous girl.
Mahi rolled a puri with the pickle, "yeh lo…yeh aapke liye…waise aapka naam kya hai? Bataaya nahin aapne…..achha main guess karoon? Main guessing game mein bahut achhi hoon…..mera bhai Prince aur behen Soni bhi haar jaate hain par main sab kuch guess kar leti hoon," she jumped excitedly, "hmmm…..Rohit?....hmmm…..Rahul?….aapko pata hai Shahrukh ka 10 movies mein naam Rahul tha….aur pataa hai….."
Shabd jerked her hand away and stood up, "STOP IT! I DON'T CARE WHAT SHAHRUKH'S NAME WAS IN MOVIES…..I DON'T CARE IF YOU ARE GOOD AT GUESSING…..MERA NAAM SHABD HAI….BAS….AB MEHERBAANI KARKE CHUP RAHO!" He folded his hands in front of her.
"Aap gusse mein apne baare mein sab kuch bataa dete hain….good….tab tho aapko aur gussa dilaati hoon," Mahi stood up and grinned.
Shabd clenched his fists and walked out of their compartment. Mahi followed him with puris in her hands.
