I Am Longing For You - Kaisa Yeh Khumar Hai:pg85 - Page 7

Just when Khushi thought that now everything would go smoothly' that Garima woukld be able to attend all the rituals in her marriage.. Dadi ji would walk in with The raizada's into the temple and cause disruption'

Raizada clan but for Aranv and Anjali enters the temple.. The arti is in full swing.. Khushi, Buaji and Garima pray with their eyes closed.. Dadi's eyes keep searching for Garima only.. It just so happens, she comes and stands right behind Garima.. she is unable to see her face...however, standing right behind her.. she probably feels that finally she will get to meet her,, she closes her eyes and prays.. In the meantime, Garima's sixth sense gets stronger.. She opens her eyes.. gets a weird feeling.. so she looks around and to her horror, her gaze settles on Dadi's face.. watching her stand so close.. Garima's eyes go wide.. horrified, she almost holds her own breath. not knowing what to do.. she just stands still with her hands still up in prayer.. she desperately wants to think of a way out before Dadi ji finds her there for sure..



The doorbell rings.. Hp opens the door.. Smiling Anjali walks in. notices the quiet' asks, "Hari Prakash ji.." he closes the door behind her and comes, stands in front of Anjali .. "No one's home?" Hp replies, "Yes, Didi, no one's home.. all of them have gone to the temple..and all workers have left after finishing their work.." Anjali asks, "And.. what about NK... is he home? "No, Didi! He has gone to see his friends. said he would be late this evening!" Anjali calls Hp back as he leaves, "Listen!" "yes, Didi!" HP asks.. "You... it's been long since you have seen your family, right? Do this .. go and meet with them.. come back by this evening... there is nothing else to do at home, right?" "But Didi! How can I leave you alone in this condition?" "Oh, no! There is no need to worry... and they must be on their way back! You go, please!" says Anjali. "yes, Didi!" says HP and takes off.. Anjali thinks for a moment..

Back at the temple.. the Aarti is in its final leg.. Dadi still has her eyes closed while praying.. Garima is very scared.. Disturbed.. her heart sinks..she covers her face with her pallu.. she desperately thinks about how to get away from the situation' Pandit ji brings the aarti' 'The holy fire' to her.. she quickly takes the blessings. And takes off.. just in time, because dadi ji's eyes open up as Pandit ji brings the aarti to her.. dadi surprised to see the woman in red disappear from in front of her' But she gets slightly distracted by the aarti.. Khushi finishes her prayers, "Amma, I..' she opens her eyes, surprised to not see Garima round, Khushi looks around.. finds Dadi ji instead.. Dadi gives her a challenging look.. Khuhsi shocked.. Aranv thinks of calling Khushi as he waits by the car outside the temple.. "Khushi.." .. "dadi ji.." Khushi blurts. Then her eyes catch sight of Nani ji and Mami ji.. a sm,ile appears on Khushi's face.. When Buaji opens her eyes after finishing the prayer, she finds Khushi seeking blessings from the Raizada's.. Aakash and Payal bow down to seek blessings form Buaji, "Be Happy!" blesses them Buaji.. "How are you, Payaliya?" "I am alright, Buaji!" Payal responds.. "All of you .. here?" Buaji wonders.. "Buaji, Aranv ji told us that you all were coming here in the temple.. so we decided to come too to see you all!" Payal says. "Great!" says elated Buaji.. "Where is Amma,?" asks Payal.. Khushi answers, "Don't know, Jiji! I am looking for Amma too! She was just here!.. Buaji, have you seen Amma?" "Call her!" says Buaji.."Don't know where she disappears at the last moment!" Khushi steps aside to make the call.. Dadi's stern gaze focused on Buaji.. Aakash says, "Payal, I wil get the garlands!" 'Ok!" Aakash steps out..

All worked up, Garima calls for Auto, "Rickshaw!' Juat then her phone rings.. it's Khushi.. Garima hangs up.. As te auto approaches her, her phone rings again, "Khushi!" Garima utters.. but gets in the auto.. rejects the call.. "Take it to Laxmi Nagar. Fast.." instructs Garima, when Aakash spots her.. he is about to call her when the vendor calls upion him to hand him the garlands.. in that moment Garima's auto takes off, Aakash still attempts to call, "Amma!" His puzzled gaze follows the auto till it gets out of sight..A little while later.. Garima's phone rings again.. This time she answers, "Amma, where are you?" "Khushi, I am going home!" "Home..? What happened, Amma? Is Babuji'. ?" Khushi panics.. "No, he is alright!" Garima answers, "It's just that I forgot to tall the Nurse about the medication' Now it's time to give medication. That's why!" Khushi asks, "What was the necessity to go home? You could have called!" "Phone?.. I tried.. but did not go through, dear!" "But, Amma.." Khushi protests.. "Let it be, Khushi!" Garima suggests, "You and Jiji finish the pooja and come home quickly!.. I got to go! I will hang up now!" Garima hangs up..

Buaji whispers, "What happened?" as Khushi walks in again. Dadi ji interrupts sarcastically, "What happened? .. Did your aunt remember another important thing today? I think that she just does not want to meet with me! " Payal and Khushi lok at the ground.. Embarrassed.. they have no defense.. Buaji still tries, "No! No, Nand Kisore.. By God! It is not like that! .. It's just that we did not know that even you all were coming here.. Buaji and Khushi look at each other.. they have no defence.. Aakash walks in, says to Khushi, "Khushi ji, I just saw Amma.. She left in an auto.." As everyone wonders, Khushi says, "Yes, Jijoo.., I talked to Amma just now.. She said that she forgot to tell the nurse about medications.. that's why she had to go.. " .. "Okay!" says Aakash.. Nani ji smiles with understanding..Dadi throws the unhappy bomb shell, "Regardless of whether I get to meet with your Aunt or not... you will be able to meet with Arnav definitely!... You yourself have arranged for this!" Khushi is stunned.. Buaji and Nani do not like what Dadi says.., "I had told you clearly that you cannot meet with Arnav before the marriage! ,.. But you told Arnav that you were coming here.. so he should come, see you here!" "Dadi ji, I really' " Khushi tries to protest.. Nani ji steps in to keep peace, "No problem, dear!" then says to Dadi, "Subhadra, Chhotey himself decided to come here, right?" "I have aged, Devyani, but I understand these things very well!" comes the harsh response.. "Absolutely! ' Do you consider our Dadi ji a fool?" Mami sucks up.. Dadi's eyes spill anger at Manorama' good enough to shut her up!

Aakash and Payal shake their heads at the debacle and move in their respective directions to keep peace... Payal whispers to Khushi, "Khushi, Aranv ji is waiting by the car downstairs.." Khushi leves to go downstairs when her phone rings.. It's Arnav, "Khushi, when are you coming downstairs? Have you not finished your pooja yet?" "Aranv ji, Dadi thinks that I called you here so that I could meet with you!" Khushi says in aggravated tone. "So what! What Dadi thinks.. does not affect me!" Arnav says flatly.. "It does to me!" Khushi says,.. then calms herself down and says, "Okay, let it be!.. You don't get angry! .. and not at this time. When I have come to seek permission for marriage from Devi Maiyya.. !" "What?" asks Aranv.. "Yes, nothing can happen without Devi Maiyya's approval.. this is also one of the rituals!" Khushi says.. "Ritual... Okay!" Arnav shuts the phone off surprising Khushi.. Aakash and Payal perform the pooja.. Nani ji and Khushi discuss things.. Pandit ji walks up to them, Nani ji says, "Pandit ji, Aranv and Khushi are getting married. Give them your blessings, please!" Khushi seeks his blessing before he leaves to perform the pooja.. It just sounded and looked weird.. Khushi there with Sindoor and mangalsutra.. Nani ji's dialogue was poorly written.. it did not say 'remariage' or "Vidhiwat shadi.. Wedding with all the rituals and customs.. "Aakash, give the garland, please!" says Payal. "Yes, here you go,.." Aakash goes to hand the garland to Payal when his hand stops in the middle.. Khushi. Nani.. Mami.. all follow his gaze.. their eyes go wide' Buaji and Dadi also watched with amazement.."Aakash, give the garland the Pandit ji!" urges Payal.. when the garland falls back in the container from Aakash's hand and he blurts, "Bhai..?" Payal follows his gaze.. her jaw drops open with the others as they all watch Arnav walk up to the stairs of the temple. Take off his shoes.. and climb up the stairs.. taking off his sunglasses as he approaches the entrance..

Aakash and Payal rush to the entrance.. "What happened?" asks Arnav as Khushi looks at him dazed.. her jaw still open.. as she flutters her eyelids, he says, "It's a ritual.. right?.. Kul.. " Khushi rushes, "Kuldevi'' Aranv looks at Nani, says, "Need permission from Kuldevi for the wedding, right?" as Mami flutters her eyelashes, Arnav says to Khushi, "That's why I came!" "Hello Hi Bye Bye!" Manorama says to Nani, "Sasuma, please, pinch me!.. Aranv bitwa.. in temple!" Arnav looks at her with and then at Khushi.. they both smile at each other.. Buaji walsk over.. says, "Jai Ho, sanka Devi!.. Hail, Angry Young Woman! She made the impossible possible!.. Jai ho, Devi Maiyya!" Dadi's face turns more stern.. Khushi smiles.. Arnav looks at her,.. smiles.. Nani ji says, "Come, both of you!" .. They stand in front of Devi Maiyya.. Arnav raises his eyebrows slightly to ask , 'now what?' Khushi gestures to him to put his hands together'. He follows her.. Khushi closes her eyes as she prays. Arnav closes his eyes briefly. Then opens them and looks at Khushi.. she prays with full concentration and then smiles to herself..eyes still closed.. Her smile brings a broad smile to Arnav's face.. his face brightens with pure joy.. happiness. affection.. he closes his eyes and prays.. Khushi finishes her prayer and opens her eyes. Looks at Arnav praying with his eyes closed.. smile still adorns his face.. Khushi smiles gently.. says to Devi Maiyya, "Did you see that, Devi Maiyya? Aranv Singh Raizada.. in the temple! This day has finally arrived! " then she rushes to say, "But Devi Maiyya.. don't get carried away.. because, Arnav ji is doing all this for me!" and winks at DM.. smiles..then closes her eyes and prays, "Keep your blessings with him, always!" Pandit ji comes with 'teerth' .. 'holy water'.. Arnav puts his left hand forward, Khushi stops him. Holds his right hand into hers and has him accept the holy water in it.. then she takes some for herself.. Khushi gestures him to follow her.. he does.. they sip the water and then slide the hand over their head.. hair.. Everyone watches them with a smile on their face. Mami's eyes wide.. Dadi boils with anger.. Arnav asks Khushi, "Do we have permission for the wedding now?.. Are you happy?" Khushi smiles gently in reply.. brings a smile of satisfaction to his face.. "Chhotey, " Nani says, "Only if Anjali were here.. she would have been unable to contain her joy!.. Chhotey and .. in temple! .. and all this..Right?" Nani says to Buaji.. Buaji wards off evil from around him.. Payal walks over to Khushi, gently touches her face affectionately and says, 'Khushi, you do know that Aranv ji is doing all this just for you?"

Khushi looks at Aranv standing at a distance from her' thinks, "For ME!... Then I must do something for him too!" They both look at each other and smile.. Everyone else leaves the temple.. Khushi walks over to Aranv, says, "I knew it!.. That... some day'. You would come inside for me!" Arnav raises his eyebrows slightly..says, "Really?.. You knew it!.." Khushi reminds him,, "Remember.. once you purchased all those Doves to make a wish for that little girl?" It reminds Arnav of the time when he purchased all the doves to make a wish for the health of that little girl's father' "How come you know this?... . you.. that day.. " Arnav asks. "Yes! .. and that day I realized that you would come inside the temple one day for sure!" They gaze into each others eyes with this new found knowledge about each other.. and smile.. "Shall we?' Aeranv asks softly.. Khushi nods and they leave the temple..

As they come downstairs, Buaji, Mami ji, Nani ji, Dadi ji, Aakash and Payal wait for them by the car' "Shall we go?" Arnav asks.. Dadi ji explodes, "Isn't it strange that all the rituals are taking place but your Aunt is not willing to meet with me.. . She has been avoiding me!" Unfortunately no one can defend Garima's act here. They look at each other not knowing what to do..Aranv looks at Aakash, says, "Get going?" Aakash agrees and they move..

At RM: Anjali in the kitchen.. makes tea. Pours in two cups. In a tray.. thinks, "Tea is ready.. now only.." She brings the tray. Places it on the coffee table.. With a happy broad smile she picks up a cup and offers, "Here you go. Have your tea! Then we can sit down peacefully and talk!.. Oh, would you only keep smiling at me.. or do you plan to answer any of my questions?" Bang comes a hand and accepts the cup from her' It's Shyam! I sooo hoped that this was her imagination! "Rani Sahiba! Whenever you get so worried, You .look more beautiful!" Shaym plays full charm on her.. smiles pleasantly.. then says, "You yourself sent Hari Prakash away!.. then before inviting me here.. you made sure that no one was around! Then wahy are you so worried?"..He smiles broad.. puts the tea cup down.. holds her hand affectionately and says, "Rani Sahiba! Come on, sit down here!" Anjali says with some hesitation' "I know but, I was scared a bit!... By the way, why did you want to meet with me here?" Shaym makes up things nicely, "Why? I wanted to meet with my wife at home.. is that a crime?.. " Vulnerable Anjali says, "Do you know that I never ever have waited more for anything else than this.. that I be with you ' never to be separated.." Shyam holds her face in his right hand gently and says, "Rani Sahiba! Have I ever separated from you?.. Don't we talk daily?.. Whenever an opportunity presented itself, have I not met with you?" Anjali remembers how she had to work up something to distract Mami when she was talking to Shyam.. When she was talking with him by the poolside.. By Arnav's room..when he had almost caught them.

Shyam says with aggravation, "Whatever happened.. after that.. " "Don't talk about what happened!" Anjali says.. Raged Shyam says, "I myself don't want to talk about bygones! .. I just want my Rani Sahiba and my little princes!" Then pretentiously he asks, "Ok, how is your health?.. and how was your day?... I need stay close by to find this out.. whether the two of you are alright or not?.." Anjali says in a soft voice, "We both are fine!. Don't worry about me!" Shyam touches her face affectionately and says, "I cannot be with you all the time.. that's why Rani Sahiba.." "I am also tired of meeting this way.. behijnhd the back,.. I wish.. What if.. What if Chhotey would realize that what he knows is nothing but a huge misunderstanding!" Shaym says in a frustrated tone.. frustrated voice, To tell you the truth, rani Sahiba, I myself am fed up with all this.. meeting this way. Behind everyone's back.. I just want to tell the truth to everyone.. and stay with you.. that's all!" .. Anjali really becomes very vulnerable. Says, " I wish.. everything will be just fine like the older days.. how I WISH!.. I WISH!.." Anjali is so vulnerable at her loss that she cannot see beyond what she wants to see...Cause otherwise she would have seen the dangerous plans working their way up in his mind.. evil wishes flashing in his eyes.. dislike for her shining as a twinkle in his eyes.. My heart goes out to Anjali.. till her spell breaks.. she will be hurting herself more than anyone else..
