chapter 22
kesar went up to her smiling
'chal dance karte hai'
gulaal looked around and then said to him
'nahi kesar mujhe nahi aata'
'tu chal toh sahi main tujhe sikha deta hoon' and he grabbed her hand and pulled her towards the dance floor.
he tok her hand and put one on his shoulder and the other in his, he then took his free hand and put it around her waist and pulled her close,
'dekh meri ankhon mein dekhti jaa', and he gently looked into her beautiful eyes, she stared back at him blushing slightly.
they both gently swayed in time to the music and stayed staring at each other.
suddenly talli came out of nowhere and threw the drink glass in her hand all over kesar's shirt,
'shit im so sorry, pata hi nahi chala kaise hua',
kesar looked at her annoyed and then thought she was genuinely sorry
'koi baat nahi, mein jaa kar saaf kar deta hoon' and he gave gulaal a smile and said 'main abhi aata hoon'.
************************************************************
as kesar was cleaning his self, he felt two hands around his waist squeezing him tightly
'gulaal tu' and he turned to find talli facing him
'talli tu yaha kya kar rahi hai' and he pushed her off, 'pagal hogayi hai kya, chor de mujhe'.
she blinked at him, her eyes welling with tears, 'tu mujse pyaar nahi karta'.
kesar looked at her astonished 'nahi talli main tujse kaise pyaar kar sakta hoon, meri patni toh gulaal hai'
she looked at him upset 'lekin paanba aur maa kehti hai ki tune yeh shaadi sirf ek samjhote ke saath ki,aur tu sirf gulal par taras kaa raha hai, tu sach mein mujse nahi pyaar karta'.
kesar could not believe what he was hearing, he then looked at her face and felt a little sorry for her afterall it wasn't her fault, she went on
'koi muje pyaar nahi karta sab ko, koi na koi mil gaya hai aur jisse mein pyaar karti hoon, voh toh' and she burst into tears.
kesar made her calm down and then explained to her 'talli tu bohot acchi ladki hai lekin main tujko jhoote vaada nahi deh sakta, main sif gulaal se pyaar karta hoon'.
and then he smiled at her 'pyaar karne waale toh tujhe bohot mil jaayenge, bohot pyaari lag rahi hai, iss dress mein'.
she let out a weak smile ,' nahi main jaanti hoon koi mujko pasand nahi karta'
kesar stood her up a excited look on his face, 'chal mujhe koi mil gaya, joh naa ke sirf tujse pyaar karega par voh bhi bilkool tere jaisa hai, dabloo' and he started laughing.
as they started walking, kesar suddenly said to her 'aur talli, jab tu thodi behter feel kar rahi hoh, toh gulaal se zaroor maafi mang lena, maine usko tere bhaare mein itni acchi acchi cheeze batayi aur tune' he looked down sadly.
she looked at him stunned 'tune notice kar liya'.
'hum mard batate nahi hai, par sab kuch pata hota hai aur haan talli, gulaal bohot acchi hai.
talli smiled at him 'main jaanti hoon'.
*************************************************************
kesar walked up to kunal who was dancing away with talli, 'tu iss ko ghar chor dega na, gulaal takh gayi hai, hum chalte hai'.
kunal smiled at her 'ofcourse chod dhoonga'.
kesar walked over to gulaal 'lets go beautiful' and they walked out.
*************************************************************
on reaching home gulaal smiled at kesar and said 'goodnight', she was about to walk away and he pulled her close 'ab kitne din wait karaogi, ab toh talli bhi khush hogayi hai'.
gulaal stared at the floor remembering paanba 'kesar voh...'
'guaal kya kuch aisa hai jiske baare mein, mujko pata hona chahiye, talli keh rahi thi ke paanba sochti hai ke maine tujpe taras ka ke yeh shaadi ki'.
gulaal looked at him tears welling up in her eyes, 'nahi aisa kuch nahi hai, voh teri maa hai kesar, unko joh bhi samajh na hai voh wohi samjhe ghi'.
kesar looked at her 'lekin jab tak koi unko samjay gha nahi voh kaisi samje ghi, shhh ab main kuch karta hoon'.
'nahi kesar toh unko jaa ke kuchh ulta seeda nahi kahe ga, tujhe meri kasam'.
'gulaal shant hoja, paanba ko kaise samjhana hai mujhe acche tareeke se aata hai'.
guaal smiled with relief, maybe kesar could sort things out better than her 'theek hai' and she was about to leave when he pulled her back for the second time 'goodnght nahi kahogi'.
she smiled mischiviously 'nahi ab toh jab sab theek hoga, tab hi kahongi' and she went smiling at him.
