1. Christsmas (page 1)
The obahus were chilling by the pool side while the obros were cooking in the kitchen. It was their usual way of chilling out. The men preferred cooking to relax and rewind, while their better halves would pursue their hobbies to chill out.
Gauri was sketching her latest design, Annika was putting together her wedding ideas scrap book while Bhavya was reading a crime novel. Suddenly Khanna had come to Annika with an invite. It was from one of the business associates of the Oberios. They were hosting a Christmas eve party at their home and had invited them for the same. So invariably the topic of discussion turned to Christmas.
"Tumhe pata hain Christmas hi ek aisa tyohar hai jab mujhe aisa nahi lagta tha ki main anath nahi hoon. Annika said. "Aisa kyun Bhabhi asked an amused Bhavya. " Main jis orphanage main rehti thi woh Christian missionaries chalathe the aur woh uss din hamme gifts dete the yeh keh kar ki Santa claus ne di hain. Replied Annika. "Sahi kaha Bhabhi hamare boarding school main ham secret santa banker ek doosre ko gifts dete the Bhavya chirped in. "Secret Santa Woh kya hota hain? asked Annika. "Secret Santa matlab hame koi gift dega par who kon hai humme nahin pata hoga. Bhavya said.
Through out the conversation Gauri hadn't spoken a word, and this didn't go unnoticed by either Annika or Bhavya. They had seen the forlorn look that Gauri's face had. "Arre Gauri tumhare koi kisse nahin hai kya asked Annika in order to lighten the mood. "Haan bataye na Bhabhi added an enthusiastic Bhavya. Gauri just gave a sad smile and said "yaadein unke pass hoti hain jinki acchi kismet ho. Humare jaise phooti kismet main toh sirf dard hota hain. "Ab apni Chandni maarungi tujhe agar aise bbatien ki toh. chided an angry Annika. "Aap hamse apna dard share kar sakthi hain Bhabhi. Encourages a worried Bhavya.
At those words of Bhavya, Gauri just broke down and hugged Annika and started narrating her story.
Gauri was 10 when her father passed away. As long as he was alive he never made her feel she was adopted or unwanted. But after his death everything changed. It was the first Christmas after her father's demise, an angry Gauri stormed the house and was shouting on top of her voice that why did Santa forget to get her gifts when her cousin had been gifted an expensive videogame. Gauri's uncle and aunt who were perpetually irked with her, shouted on her stating that she was cursed, an orphan and doesn't deserve anything in life and had dragged her and locked her in the dark store room which was infested with rats and had warned her mom that if she helped Gauri they would be thrown out of the house. Gauri was locked the whole night. She was bitten by rats. She cried and cried but no one came forward to help her. She cried herself to sleep on the cold floor. From that day onward Gauri Kumari Sharma was no longer a child. The child in her was brutally killed. She was exposed to the harsh realities of life.
By the time Gauri ended her tale, three people were moved to tears. Annika and Bhavya were crying and hugging her but unknown to the three girls, a certain long haired Jatadhari who came too call them for dinner was also crying. Crying not only because of the cruelty his wife was put to but also because of guilt that even he had once put her to lot of pain. Then and there he had made a promise to himself that he would fulfil all of Gauri's wishes and fantasies because she deserved all the happiness of this world.
25 December
Gauri Kumari Sharma prayed to her Shankarji at the same place everyday and would decorate the place but today while decorating the place she found a gift-wrapped parcel with a letter. Curious she opened the letter only to find that the letter was addressed to her by one other than her jhatadhari.
My Dear Gauri,
Sorry that your dear Santa hadn't contacted you for the past 10 years. But your Shankerji has removed the earlier Santa from his job and now I am your Santa Claus who had been sent to fulfil all your wishes. So, my dear Princess, from today your Prince would fulfil all your wishes and the only tears in your eyes would be of happiness. Now stop being so sentimental and open the gift which is the first of many more to come.
Love,
Your Secret Santa
Nandi Bel (Omkara)
Gauri was at loss of words, she began unwrapping the parcel only to find the admission form for her further studies and a very expensive set of colour pens for her sketching. She was still in a daze when a strong pair of hands had encircled her waist and a red colour cap was kept on her head. She need not turn to know who it was, but she turned only to find her jatadhari husband wearing a similar Christmas cap and grinning from ear to ear. She couldn't thank him in words, so she did what she knew was the best substitute- wrapped her arms around him and hugged him tight. Omkara didn't need words to understand what she was feelings. He hugged her back, making a silent promise that he would always protect her. "Merry Christmas he whispered in her ears. Gauri released herself from the hug and looked at Omkara with an expression he couldn't decipher.
"Close your Eyes she commanded him and he happily obliged. Standing on her toes and holding his shoulders for support. Gauri gave a long, wet kiss on his cheek and whispered the same "Merry Christmas' and ran away before he could catch her.
Omkara was so dazed with that kiss of his minion wife that he forgot to remove the lipstick mark and went to meet his brothers at the pool side
Rudra had observed his O to be lost somewhere as he saw him walking. Now he knew the reason too. ShivRu smirked and exchanged looks. "Lagta hain ki Santa ne O ko KISS kiya hain, haina O asked an amused Rudra. Omkara just nodded in a trance making shivaay laugh. Rudra continued "aur yeh Santa Bareilly se aaya bhaiya haina O. listening the word Bareilly omkara came out of his trance and understood that his brother was teasing him. He slapped him on his face with a "shut up Rudra making both his brothers laugh while he became as red as a beetroot when shivaay showed the mark on his face.
Truly that Christmas was a merry one for them.
your comments awaited.
