EPISODE ONE
"Abbe O deewane mastaane ... tu naa zyada Deepika bane bina jaldi jaldi haath chala ... nahi toh main sekhaungi tujhe dance!
Anika yelled at the tempo driver who was busy singing deewani mastaani along with the radio instead of helping Saumya unload her luggage.
"Rehne do Didi ... tedha aadmi hai ... samajhne wala nahi hai ... main pareshaan ho gayi hoon isse. Saumya said with a tired sigh.
"Aadmi hai yaa kurkure? Paise kis baat ke le raha hai tujhse? Ruk tu ... iss tedhe ko toh main seedha karti hoon. Anika said flipping her hair in style.
"Anika ko maine kitni baar kaha hai ke zara dheere bole ... dekho naa kaise daant rahi hain uss bechaare ko... Jahnvi said to Mallika as the driver danced to the choreographed tunes of Anika and half the neighborhood was enjoying the show.
"Koi bechara vechara nahi hain woh Jaanu aunty ... he is a lazy man ... iske jaiso ke liye toh Anika hi theek hai. Mallika smiled with a cute coffee moustache still sipping from her mug.
After a good deal of bargain from Anika, the tempo driver left and Saumya got tensed seeing her baggage of books, clothes, shoes, accessories, food, gadgets and so many other things. She had begun to realize that life away from home can be very difficult ... Settling in a new place as a paying guest seemed a task real difficult. She missed her family very much and college had not even begun. What seemed exciting in the beginning was stressing her out now.She had a lot of work to do.
"Jaao Saumya ... apna saamaan rakhdo ... settle ho jaao aur aaraam Karo phir hum sab khana saathme khaaenge. Jahnvi said caressing her forehead.
"Ji auntyji. Saumya nodded and picked up some bags. Anika and Mallika helped her to carry other things upstairs. Both of them were so happy and excited. They had a new home mate.
Jahnvi smiled looking at the three girls ... they seemed more like family than her husband and In Laws and this two storey tenament seemed more like home than the Oberoi Mansion. She had left that place after her So-Called husband proposed marriage to his mistress Svetlana. Jahnvi had been through a lot and had had enough. Her marriage was broken and her personal life ruined. Even when together, she was distanced from her elder son Omkara. The other one Rudra after knowing everything decided to focus on his life as his mother guided him and her daughter Priyanka happily eloped with her boyfriend Ranveer after their relationship was not well accepted by the family. Jahnvi a mother of three ... is still a businesswoman that she had become thirty years ago. She is an Oberoi, an important part of the Oberoi group of industries but not a part of that family anymore because for once in her life her Mother In Law supported her when she did not want her husband to become a part of her life. She was not able to file a divorce because Oberoi khaandaan mein divorce nahi hota.' But she is happy that at least she is separated.
Married to Siddarth Vikram Rana, Mallika flew down to Mumbai from Delhi for an important work related matter and she had to stay here for professional commitments ... even when she knows that her family can be irked with her decision of staying with Jahnvi ... she knows what her Jaanu aunty did was right and she supports her completely. She is staying in Jahnvi's place as a paying guest.
Jahnvi knew Anika for quite some time now ... She is an event planner and has worked for Shivaay on several occasions. With the kind of professional rapport both of them had built, Jahnvi was the first person with whom Anika had shared how her aunt threw her out of the house in a fit of anger when she did not give away her savings to the fat woman. The idea immediately struck Jahnvi's mind and she offered Anika that she can be Mallika's roomie. Anika shifted with her luggage in the next few hours.
Both Mallika and Anika were able to convince Jahnvi that they can accommodate two more tenants as the house upstairs was a four BHK and Jahnvi agreed and they got various offers after putting up an advertisement online.
So today Jahnvi welcomed Saumya who is a high school pass out from Shimla and has come to Mumbai to pursue her college studies. She is waiting for yet another girl who was supposed to be here an hour ago.
Her thoughts got a pause as she heard the sound of a halting rickshaw. The girl stepped out with two bags in her hands and walked to Jahnvi after paying the driver.
"Main tumhara hi wait kar rahi thhi ... bataao tumhara safar toh theek raha naa ...? Jahnvi asked offering her a glass of water.
"Haan hum bilkul theek hai. She said in a sweet voice.
"Tum kuch logi chai, coffee vagera? Jahnvi asked.
"Ji nahi thankoo. The girl nodded her head.
"Toh Saumya tum bhi apne baare mein humko kuch bataao Mallika asked as they settled on the couch.
"Main Shimla se aayi hoon ... Maine Mumbai university mein admission liya hai ... mujhe naa 12th mein 79 percent marks aaye thhe. Both of them were attentively listening to Saumya when they heard a knock on the door.
"Hum andar aa jaaye. She asked politely.
"Haan aao naa ... tum chauthi kiraayedaar ho na? Mallika asked looking at her beautifully embroidered yellow anarkali. She did not say anything just nodded.
"Aao aao andar aao ... yeh tumhara bhi toh ghar hai! Anika did an excited face palm looking at her pretty little housemate.
"Main mera introduction hi de rahi thhi ... aap bhi bataao ... aapka naam kya hai? Saumya asked curiously.
"Ji hum Gauri ... GAURI KUMARI SARMA. She said with a happy glint in her eyes.
"Tum kaha se aayi ho? Mallika asked
"Hum Bareilly se aaye hai. She replied.
"Mumbai kyon aayi ho? Anika questioned.
"Ji woh humne yaha ... Mumbai university mein daakhila liya hai. Gauri said thinking about college.
"What's your subject? I have taken economics! Say my a spoke aloud suddenly.
"Humne psychology chuna hai. She said to Saumya who gave her a happy high five which became a little bit awkward for Gauri.
"Chalo tum dono ke aane ki khushi mein mooh meetha karte hai. Anika said tearing the wrapper of a dairy milk silk. All four of them shared and a fifth piece was wrapped back for their Jaanu aunty.
"Tumhaare family mein kaun kaun hain? Anika asked and before Gauri could answer Anika had to attend an important call.
"Shaadi ho gayi hai tumhaari? Mallika asked wiping the chocolate off her lip.
What and how Mallika asked was absolutely normal but Panic stirred in Gauri's body ... sweat beading on her forehead.
Sudden images of his blood filled in her forehead ... the pious fire ... their vows ... flashed in her mind jerking her like lightning.
"Woh ... Hum ... Woh... She was fumbling ... the loss of words was felt like the loss of breathe.
"Koi baat nahi Gauri agar koi relationship hai ... agar nahi hai ... tum nahi batana chahti toh its okay ... main force nahi karungi ... Mallika said to calm her down.
"Main toh bass isiliye pooch rahi thhi kyonki I am married.
Mallika told her showing her wedding ring to her.
The simple diamond studded band reminded Gauri of her own fate, that she was not having the mangalsutra of his name ... that she cannot become his wife ... he did not let her be. He scattered them calling them nothing more than black beads. He separated himself from her.
"Shaadi nahi hui humaari. Gauri said with a straight face ... a plain voice.
