Khushiyon ka mausam
[Months passed since Dushyanth's death..and to recover from their loss was not at all easy for the family,...but life has to go on..anyway.the reality has to be accepted, however bitter it might be.and they tried their best to move on in their life..]
(Kesar engaged himself more in work, to ease his mind and he was recently working at huge number of orders and had to stay away from the haveli in connection with his work..)
[Paanba and Jamuna, Rewa in the kitchen]
Jamuna:Undiyu bana rahi hein??
PB(entusiastically):Kesar ko bahut pasand hein na..
(Jamuna looked worried and tears filled her eyes which were noticed by Paanba)
PB:Jamuna..mein bhi apna beta khoya hein..lekin zindgi kisi keliye nahin rukhthi na..jeena padtha hein..na chahkar bhi kabhi kabhi..jo log bacha hein unke liye hamare dukh ko dabaakar jeena padtha hein..(she resumed) 'mauth'..yahin zindgi ki sabse sabse badi sach hein, hum jithne jald iss sach ko apna le jeena uthne hi kam mushkil mehsoos hoga.
Jamuna:mein jaanthi hun Paanba..lekin phir bhi aankhe bhar aathi hein..(weeps) maa hun na..(Paanba tries to console, while they hears the sound of the jeep and proceeds to the living room and MB, Raman and Kesar returns from the factory)
Motaba(happily):lagtha hein mawdi ne hum par apna kripa barsa raha hein ( was saying about the orders on which Kesar was working on and peacefully sits on the chair)
(Paanba signals Rewa..Rewa goes inside and came out with a box full of sweets)
Paanba:Aap ne bilkul sahi kahan aur Kesar chal yeh mittai kha..(she feeds him the sweet)
MB:humein nahin denge??
PB(laughs):dungi, pehle Kesar..aakhir wahin hein jo..(she said it with lot of happiness..but Jamuna stops her..and changes the topic)
Jamuna(with a teasing smile):Tu yahaan kya kar raha hein..jaldi apni patni ke paas ja(Paanba and Rewa laughs, MB and Raman looks confused )
Kesar(confused and concern):Gulaal..Gulaal ko kya hua?(every ladies were silent and gloominess was spread on their faces)
Rewa(pretented sadness):tu apne aap ko sambhal Kesar..yehi soch ki sab bhagwan ki marzi hein (and pats him with concern)
Kesar(worried):Koi bathaayiye na Gulaal ko hua kya??
Jamuna:(teasing):Ab zyaada bhola mat ban humare samne( Paanba and Rewa tries hard to control their laughs while Jamuna continues)
ab jaldi jaa..woh bechaari kab se raah dekh rahi thi tera..(Kesar rushes through the stairs, while MB looks all confused towards PB and PB jesters him to cool down and was about to say some thing)
...
[Kesar hastily entered their room to find Gulaal sitting on the bed clasping her legs by resting her chin over the hands crossed on her knees, lost in thoughts with a smile on her lips..Kesar ran to her and sat by her side]
Kesar(with concern):tu teek tho hein na Gulaal.
( Gulaal snapped out of her sweet thoughts with his voice)
Gulaal(suddenly became nervous):Kesar tu kab aaya??
Kesar:(all concerned and tensed):tuje kuch hua tho nahi??yahan kyun hein..neeche kyun nahin aayi??
Gulaal(looked down embarrased):Meri tabiyath kuch teek nahin tha tho PB ne kuch der keliye aaram karne ko kahan..
(Kesar places his arm on her forehead and neck):Kahin beemar tho nahin padi thu??(moves from the bed and becomes irritated..Gulaal too stood up)
Kesar(scolds with concern still echoing in his anger):mein kya do dino ke liye yahan nahin tha aur teri tabiyat bhi aisi kharaab hogayi..hamesha..hamesha aisa hi hota hein..(moves towards her) tuje na har koi ki khayaal rehtha siwai tera..(so worried and dissapointed)..kam se kam yeh bhi to socho kabhi ki agar tuje kuch hua tho ..mera..(he couldnt complete the sentence and looks in other direction while tears were flowing through his eyes)
Gulaal:(moves closer to him, looks at him and in a gentle complaining voice): Tera gussa hamesha tere naak par rahtha hein..kya sochega woh..(her face turned red while she lowered her eyelids shyly)
Kesar(still in anger mode):Woh??kaun woh??waise muje kya farak padtha hein ki koi aur mere baare mein kya sochega ya nahin sochega??
Gulaal:(places her fingers over his lips) Shhh..woh sunega tho aane se pehle hi bahut dar jaayega apne papa se..(and falls to his arms and tightly hugs him)
(Kesar stood there stunned for a moment as if he is dead, Gulaal tightened her hug over him only then he came back to reality...)
Kesar(couldnt believe his ears): K.kya k..kaha?
[Gulaal stands straight and nodes her head in assuarance and at the very next moment he enclosed her in his arms with so much love and care..tears filled his eyes while he closed his eyes delightfully..he gently kissed her forehead and held her close towards his chest]
As I said in the preface:
Life is indeed a bed of roses, but thrones along with it
