Here is the link:

Part 45 : Page 7 ( I posted here too for people visiting this forum)


A sneak peak into the Story .....

This story is about the sweet little times that you have before and during and after marriage when every thing looks romantic and everything feels pleasant and everything brings a smile on your face? so, there is no negative thing ?VILAN? here ?
Its about.. how two people ? who are both reserved but good at heart? get married?. And ?. How they come out of the uncomfortableness, anxiety and excitement that is there in the first few months of marriage between the new wedded couple?which is apparently a romantic site to the people watching them?
So, I have tried to make it as romantic as possible..Although, I enjoy romantic things like romantic movies, roses, chocolates as gifts.. candle light dinners with the person you love....but donot know if I will be able to bring out the romance in my writing?

So, please give me suggestions ?if you want any thing you feel that can be added? as its our fanfiction?we can turn it the way we want it?

All suggestions are always welcome?




Shiv: The eligible bachelor of town, very reserved and very serious looking, is seen smiling only with his close friends and family. ?The most busy man with hectic work shedules in one word work alcoholic? is what one sees in magazines about him?, But no one knows who the actual shiv is like? as no one has seen him how he is at home? or how he is with his family and friends? and how he is not a work alcoholic?

He has done his studies from abroad? but, did not get much attached to the western culture and he has come back to make a mark in the Indian industry? helps his father with business and other things? and is now one of the top business tycoons in India?

Loves traveling and exploring places? he has been to almost all famous places and is waiting for the one and only person with whom he wants to share his life with?

Mahen and Nikhila kapoor?s only son.





Gauri: Girl next door, doesnot dream of big things to happen in life out of blue. She enjoys playing with kids, enjoys humming music and enjoys all little things happening in life, very cheerful and bubbly always and gives out a smile as she thinks giving a smile doesnot cost anything and its good as other person feels good.
Always family comes first for her.

Most eligible girl in the sense ? adorable, friendly, any good guy wanting to marry would want to marry gauri as she has all the qualities one would expect ? patient in listening to things, a beautiful smile and expressive eyes, expert cook, sexy figure, respect for elders, all maners in tact.
Very introvert never expresses her feelings easily.
She is also rich and has done her studies from good universities.
Gauri chaterjee, Alok chaterjees daughter.

Part1:
One fine morning:

It was a beautiful day with a clear blue sky and birds flying around making chirpy noise, and the streets of Mumbai are busy ..buzzing with people? and we are going to the suburbs of Mumbai? and finally to a bunglow where at the gate is a security guard and as we move into the house ..its pretty calm and we can see a number of servants going around cleaning the house and keeping things in place.

Then we see the dinning area of the house where, shiv and mahen are both sitting and reading papers and nikhila is serving breakfast to them, and she sees that both are reading papers and talking about business and not interested in whether she is there are not..
She pulls the papers from both their hands and immediately...
"Nikhilaa....Mom...... "
"Kya Mom .... Phle dono.... breakfast karlo... phir panda aaram se Yeh tumara Paper....."
"Tum donoka kuch nahi hosaktha.... Main is ghar me akeli hogayi hu....Tum donoke hote huye bhi.... yeh to aisehi hai..lekin shiv!! Tum to phle mujse bat karthatha..lekin ab tubhi inke thara hogaya hai....jab se office join kiya hai..... tu bhi mujhse kam bat karne laga hai..."

"Mom.... aap eise kyun kehrahi hai.... bus thodasa busy hu... aur kuch nahi... acha.... tho aaj shyam ko hum dono dinner keliye jayenge ....sir hum dono ....papako chod kar....!!!"

Nikhila gives a smile..

"I love you Mom.....See you in the evening....be ready for a Date with me....!!!"

Chal Badmash!!...

Ok..bye Mom..!!!

Bye...

She turns and sees Mahen looking at her lovingly....
So, she curiously asks..

"Aaap kya dekhrahe hain...."
He walks near her.... holds her with his left hand and ..
I Love You Nikhila ..... and gives a peck on the cheek....
She gives a curious look and says....

"Oye Hoye!!! Suddenly ....ithne romantic hogaye.."
And mahen says..
"Nothing Just like that.....Ok..bye!! mujhe office keliye derhorahi hain.."
But, Nikhila knew deep down that.... both of them loved her a lot....this was her world she could go no - where but here....
Shiv was mahen and nikhlas only son and their jaan.... and it was the same with Shiv....

Shiv Kapoor would never smile or laugh in public, he was considered as a very serious business tycoon. That was one thing every one wished to capture. But it was nothing that real shiv was?

Please Let me know if you want me to continue...I was writing it for myself and then posted it here...

Part2:
A Honda Assent car came to the opposite side of the road of shiv's home, and the driver of the car came out and opened the behind door, and we see some one stepping out wearing yellow heels, its a girl...and as she steps out, we see she is wearing a yellow chunidar... that is hugging her figure and has a umbrella stich and her physique is so admiring... and she gives a sweet and friendly smile to the driver saying 'thankyou' and turns around... and we see a cute face with a beautiful smile... 😊 and that dimple in her cheeks and those serine kohl layered eyes and her hair let loose falling on her shoulders. And you all know whom I am speaking of... 😉 the one and only Gauri. 👏 👏

And then we see a man with spectacles getting down from the other side of the car, he smiles at her and says 'beta… andar chalen..' and she nods her head and they they open the guards open the gates for them to go in. That was Alok Chaterjee gauri's father.

****************

Part3:

Gauri and Alok come to Mahen's house and knock the door bell… and servant comes and opens the door… and asks whom do they want…
We want to meet the owner of the house…. The servant goes and says nikhila some one wants to meet you and nikhila comes down…

She sees Gauri and Alok and thinks…who are these people and why do they want to meet me…
Nikhila with this thought comes down and says namaste…and asks them to come in… Nikhila asks them… "Mafi chahatihu… paar meine aapko pahchana nahi.. kya mein aapko janthi hu…" with a questioning look..

Alok smiles and says… " ji …. Aap hame nahi janti hain… hum kal hi… aapke samne vale ghar me aye hain… mera naam Alok chatarjee hain …aur yeh meri beti Gauri hain…" and then Gauri smiles at Nikhila and says.. "Namaste aunty… Humare Ghar me Kal Durga maa ki puja hain.. hum yaha naye hain…isliye... aspas ke subko bulaya hain.... Hum apko bhi..Durga maa ki puja me bulane aye hain… App aur Appka parivar hamare Ghar kal puja keliya zaroor ayiyega…"

After listening to this… Nikhila says… "Ohh… acha acha… achi bat hain…hum zaroor ayenge… agar koi kam ho… to bejijak bata dena beta…" and then Gauir says… "Acha ..Aunty ab ham chalthe hain…."

And Nikhila says… "Ayise kaise ja sakthe hain..aap hamare Ghar phli bar ayehein… kuch lentho padegahi… aap kadekun yehin beytiyen… mein abhi aap keliyen kuch latihu.."

Gauri says.. "Aunty… koi formalities mat kijiye aunty… hum ab chalthe hain… bahut kuch kar na baki hain… phir kabhi aaram se ayenge.."

But Nikhila says… " koi bahana nahi chelege beti… tum bas bayto mein abhi ayi.." saying this she smiles and leaves… hurriedly…

And Gauri and Alok look at the house and admire how neatly everything is placed and how nice the lady is…

Nikhila comes back with coffee and snacks and gives it to them and sits there when …. Alok says… "Mafi chahatahu lekin …mein aapka naam nahi janta…" and Nikhila smiles and says… '"Ji mera naam Nikhila hain…aur mere pati ka naam Mahen kapoor hain…'
Then Alok smiles and says… " Aaap se milke acha laga Nikhila ji…. Ab hum chalthe hain… bas pass me kuch Ghar aur chalna hain..une puja mein bulane kaliye… phir mujhe office janahain… meri beti ko Ghar me chod ke.."

Nikhila smiles and says… "Ji… Thank you for inviting us… Hum kal zaroor ayenge…" and Gauri and Alok say namasthe and go from there…

Nikhila smiles and goes inside…

Part4:

In the evening, Shiv comes home from office and says… 'Mom – Are you ready for the date… I will just freshen up and come…' saying this he opens his suite buttons and takes his briefcase and runs up the stairs…to get freshen up…

Nikhila listens to his voice and smiles and says… ' Aagaye tum beta… mein tumare liye Coffee latihu… tum jakar tayar hojavo…phir challenge…'

Shiv climbing the stairs looks back and smiles at Nikhila and says… 'I love you Mom..' and runs to his room

In his room he throws the brief case on the bed and removes his shoe pushes them with his leg to a side and goes to the bathroom… and closes the door…then after few minutes he comes out of wash room in towel and goes to his…cupboard… and opens it and starts searching for the dress to wear... he keeps looking at them puts a hand in his hair 😕 and then removes some dresses and looks at it and throws it on the bed and then removes another and throws it on the bed… and then…another…and after few minutes…he feels irritated and calls out…. 'Mom aap yaha ayengi please…' and nikhila says 'aarahi hu…'

Nikhila comes to shivs room… and she knows that he would have made a mess by now… and thinks to herself 'how could she not remember that he is very bad at choosing a dress..' and now she would have to keep all the dresses in order again…

She comes to the room and sees the mess and gives a huff... and then comes to the cupboard and picks up a dress and gives it to shiv and he takes the dress and goes to change it…and she looks at the mess and starts picking up the dresses and putting them in their place…and thinks to herself… 'who ever is going to marry him… all her time will be take away in cleaning and keeping this room neat…like her…' and smiles to herself….and keeps all the dresses properly in place…

Shiv comes out wearing a white casual shirt tucked inside the blue jeans and smiles at nikhila and asks her to get ready too… then nikhila says…that she is already ready…and shiv says 'Mom.. you are going on a date with Shiv kapoor … you should be wearing a gorgeous outfit not a saree….and think about my reputation…' smiles and winks at her…and Nikhila says 'Sharam nahi ati maa se iyse kehthe huye…agar tume itnahi gorgeous outfit pehnanahi hai…toh…jaldise… shadi karle…fir hokum karna apne biwi par…' she pulls his nose and Shiv says .. 'Comeon Mom… App ithini jaldi budi kyun bana chahati hain…' to which nikhila says.. 'kya matlab' and shiv says ' Maa..meri shadi hojayegi tho aap mother say mother-in-law banjayengi… tab tho apkeliye competition aajayegi..apki daughter-in-law and you will be called oldies Mom….phir toh aap yeh sub nahi pehan payengi…'
And Nikhila on listening smiles and ruffles his hair and goes from there... thinking 'I can never … beat him in words…'

Shiv follows her down the stairs into the living room sits there and keeps changing channels… and then nikhila brings coffee for him and he takes it and says 'thanks Mom' and they sit there…and then shiv asks her … 'Aur batayiye mom… aaj kya kiya ..apne..' to which nikhila says… ' kuch ..bhi nahi… and then says…hamare smane vale bunglow mein naye log aye hain..who subha ayethe… kal unke ghar me puja hain..aur hum sub ko bulaya hain..aur mein ne kehdiaya ki hum sub aa rahein… hain…' and she looks at shiv and shiv says… 'Comeon mom main puja mein kya karoonga… I am not coming…and makes a bored face..' and nikhila says 'beta..puja keliye naa nahi kehte…tu todi der aake..phir cheleja..' and then shiv gives a nod..and shiv completes his coffee and

then asks nikhila lets start..to go .. for dinner… and nikhila says… lets wait for Mahen and shiv is like… 'I told you it's a date for us both … 😊 ' and then nikhila says… 'you know I donot come without your father… 😳 ' and shiv thinks 'I know that too…' 😊 and thinks to himself that … 'he is happy about it, that their parents are so attached to each other…' 😊

And after mahen comes .. all go out for dinner… with shiv driving the car and mahen in the side seat and nikhila in the behind seat…and they enjoy jokes and have funny talk ... 😊 and they reach a famous restaurant and take a private seating and have their dinner and shiv is having fun with his parents…(how sweet 😊 )they come home and shiv gives a goodnight kiss to nikhila and says good night to mahen and goes of to sleep…

Then goes to his room closes the door and nikhila has kept a night dress out..so he takes it and changes his clothes and comes to his bed and lifts the blanket and gets into the bed and stares at his room and today he was not feeling sleepy so fast so gets up again…goes to the balcony of his room..where cool breeze was flowing…. swinging the curtains and kissing his cheek and he felt happy inside and then after sometime comes back inside and gets into bed and takes a magazine and just keeps looking at some pictures in it… and then he remembers nikhila saying get married and then you can have your wife wear what you want… and he smiles to himself and looks at the other side of the bed which is empty and pulls out the pillow and hugs it for a second and keeps it back and switches of the light and goes off to bed smiling with the cool breeze coming into the room…and full moon in the night sky smiling at the stars…bringing sweet dreams to him…

Nikhila before going to bed had told mahen about the pooja in Gauri house and he had told her …he will come there but then would leave early as he has work at office.. so next day… nikhila wakes up serves both shiv and mahen breakfast and then they all leave for the puja with mahen and shiv wearing salwar kameez…. for the puja and nikhila wearing a saree…and then they reach alok home and they are welcomed by alok and nikhila introduces them to alok and then she excuses herself to go in and meet alok's daughter… and Gauri is wearing a beautiful pink saree looking elegant and dignified with simple jewellary and going through all the things needed for the puja and asking the pandit if he wants anything else… and nikhila comes to her and they both wish eachother and gauri makes her seated and the puja starts and gauri is sitting in the puja and all the men are seated behind the ladies…nikhila and all other women are sitting behind gauri..and then the puja is started…

alok and shiv and mahen and some other guests join in…and alok lifts his hand and says that's my daughter in the puja and both shiv and mahen look to where alok is showing ..but they cannot see her face as… she is turned to the other side and doing the puja and they all get seated and puja is peformed and then… as soon as the puja is done and everyone gets up …. Mahen and shiv come to Nikhila and say that…they need to go, as there is important things to do at office and need to change their dress and hence, they need to leave…so nikhila wishes them good bye and they leave…

Gauri who was busy with other things just then brings Prasad to nikhila and asks if she came alone and nikhila says that… her son and husband came but were having work at office so they left just now..and she points in the direction where they were going and gauri looks at them leaving but is not able to see them as they are facing the other way and going out… she smiles and gives Prasad to nikhila for all of them and asks her to stay for lunch and then goes to give Prasad to others…and nikhila who knows other neighbors in the area talks to them…and then after having lunch all start leaving… so nikhila goes to say that she is leaving… and goes to talk to alok…and asks him.. about his wife not being around and alok with sadness in his eyes says that… his wife passed away few years ago… due to illness and from then his daughter has been taking care of him like a mother… and starts to say that… he is very proud of his daughter…and nikhila feels bad and says that she is sorry she enquired and alok dismisses her saying..don't worry its ok..its been long time..now..and then she looks at gauri..who is talking to some of the guests and smiling at everyone..and taking care of the things around… nikhila has a smile on her face…

And then she goes to gauri and says that she is leaving and asks her to come home some time as she is alone all day..and that... they could sit around and have fun together…and that only, if its ok with her… for this Gauri gives a big smile and says… 'Zaroor aunty..' 'mein..zaroor avungi…' then they say good bye and nikhila leaves…

She goes a little distance and looks at the house which is beautifully arranged and then gauri who is saying servants to do some work and has a glint in her eyes and keeps an expression that she is thinking about some thing… and then leaves with a smile on her face…

Days go by…

Part : 6

Nikhila has a party at her house and she invites gauri and alok to her house for the party

In the past few days - Gauri and Nikhila have been in contact and nikhila had taken her for shopping to show the shops around and they used to chat on phones and when ever Gauri made a special dish she used to bring some for nikhila and they used to have afternoon food together…
And Nikhila kept talking about Gauri to mahen and shiv on and off … and Gauri about Nikhila to Alok… But shiv and gauri never met

And the day of the party arrived …it was a party in the evening… more of a get together…and Nikhila had not called many outside guests and friends…it was more of the family and relatives and few close friends…

Gauri came in the afternoon to help nikhila with the food and preparations…. And after doing the preparation had left to get ready for the evening on Nikhila insisting her.

And then Gauri wore a white dress with pink and yellow and red small button flowers embroried all over the dress and looking simple and elegant as always with a small diamond pendant in the neck and small diamond earings…and watch matching her dress color in her left hand… and wearing matching shoes… and her hair..left loose waving…

Shiv was in his casual… Cream half hands shirt tucked in blue jeans…looking very handsome and attractive… was still getting ready in his room

Gauri came with Alok and after meeting few of them with Alok… excused herself to meet Nikhila and since the party was in the garden of the house..she searched for Nikhila and thinking that she is in the house getting ready….went in… and not finding her in the hall went up the stairs… looking around…

and Shiv by now had finished getting ready and was coming out of his room in a hurry and Gauri was passing by… when she bumped into SHIV....( 🥳.... Finally, they have met...Lets Celebrate...!!!) And immediately both said sorry…with out looking at eachother…. And then lifted their heads to see eachother and Gauri did not know who was he and Shiv was in the same state and just looking at her simplicity yet elegant way of dressing… Shiv kept on looking at her and Gauri quickly gave a glance and seeing him look at her ….

gave a smile and lowered her eyes…so as not to meet his…and said… 'sorry mein ne aap ko aate huye dekha nahi… mein…woh mein nikhila aunty ko dund rahithi…' and saying this she stopped and stood there for the other person to say something… and shiv said 'its ok …I was the one hurring out…Mom yehi kahi kongi… mama ka room who bajuwala hai…aap jake dekhiye …shayad waha hongi…' saying this he gave way for gauri to go a head…and gauri..nodded and went from there…not once lifting her head.. and shiv was standing there and looking at her leaving… with an unknown feeling cropping up in his heart…

He kept staring till she went into his mothers room and then when she disappeared into the room he came to his senses and then thought in his mind …...'Who is this girl ….' 'I have not seen her before…' 'she has a beautiful smile'.. and then thought 'ohh no…. am I getting attracted…?? 😳 ' and then thinks… 'me…getting attracted… no..no…' and nikhila who was in the kitchen getting some thing… was downstairs watching all this and smiling to herself..thinking that her son finally has seen a girl for few minutes… other wise he never cares even to look at a girl for more than 2 seconds.. and felt that may be, she knows what her son wants in the girl - that he is wating for to come into his life…

Part : 7


Gauri was thinking 'so, he is nikhila auntys son… Shiv..', and thinks that he is very good looking, handsome and attractive…thinking this she just smiles to herself and hits her head with her hand and …walks slowly to nikhila auntys room thinking ' I should not be thinking like this…'

And then Shiv comes down and sees his mom leaving with some food in her hand… he calls out to her 'Mom..ek minute…some girl was looking for you… I showed her your room…' and then Nikhila says… as if she did not see anything… 'Acha… mein jake dekh thi hu…tum yeh lejakar waha buffet may rakh do..' and saying this she gives the tray to him and leaves to go up… to her room..

Shiv stares at the steps for some time wanting to ask something to his mother…but then leaves without asking…as his mother was in a hurry…
Nikhila reaches her room and then gauri was about to come out finding that no one was in the room…and then nikhila says… 'Gauri beta agayi tum…' and gauri turns around… and smiles at nikhila and says 'Ji aunty… who mein niche ayithi… lekin apko dekha nahi..tho socha aap andar hongi…koi help chahiye aunty…'

And Nikhila looks at her and thinks how adorable she is… wish I had a daughter like her…and says… 'Subkuch tho ready hain beta… aab koi kaam nahi… bas party enjoy karo…mere sath chalo… mujhe tume hamare relatives se milana hain…'

Saying this she brings her down…. And they come to the garden where the party was going on…and nikhila introduces her to shyla, daksh, and vivan…. And Gauri talks to them smiles at them and is enjoying with them…

But some where in the party someone was sitting near a corner table having a juice glass in hand and was watching her from the moment she stepped into the garden and those eyes were following her where ever she was going.

It was none other than shiv.. he was not able to look away from her.. she was looking like an angle in the party… then she was walking by his table…and shiv bent his head to not make it obvious he was looking at her…but gauri went by not even acknowledging that he was sitting there…she was going by talking with some other girl in the party… when dupatta of her dress swept by shivs face and he felt something in him… go weak…


And a music slowly plays in the back ground… male version only..

dekha jo tumko..yeh dil ko kya huwa hai…
meri dadkanom pein..yeh chaya kya nasha hain….

(On seeing you… what has happened to my heart…
What intoxication is happening on my pulse…)

Dewana khona jaye..mohobat hona jaye…
Samalu keise isko.. mujhe tu bataaa…

( shall not the crazy person ….be gone into dreams…
Shall he not be in love…
How do i handle myself… you tell me….)

Bheign bheign.. alkonse…
Chori chori palkonse…
kyun mera sapana churayein..

Jhuki Jhuki akhiyonse..
Dhire dhire batiyonse…
Kyun mujhe apna banaayee…

(with your downcast eyes…
And with your soft talks…
Why do you make me yours…)

Shrarat hona jaye…
Mohobat hona jaye….
Samalun kaise isko..mujhe tu bataaa….

( let there be no trick done…
Let no love happen….
How do I handle myself … you tell me…)

Chahe hum … Chahe bhito…
Phehare..lagaye bhito…
Kaise din rat ko rokein…

(even if I wanted …
Even if I stop myself…
How do I stop the day and night…)

Aag bina yeh jalein…
Zoor na koi chale…
Kaise jas bat ko rokein…

(even with out fire…it burns..
And no force is able to stop it…
How do I stop my emotions..)

Yeh chahat hona jayein…
Mohobat hona jayein…
Samalu kaise isko… mujhe tu bataaa….

(let this affection not happen…
Let the love not happen..
How do I handle it… you tell me..)

From movie: kasoor (one of my favorite songs….)



And there were another pair of eyes trailing shivs eyes…and it was nikhila who was talking to her friends but noticing how shiv was following his eyes at gauri where ever she went…and was smiling to herself…

And then Shiv couldnot take it any longer… he was feeling a new feeling that he could not understand…, so he went into his room saying bye to vivan who was enjoying the party and wanted shiv to stay back but..shiv said not today… vivan thought to himself that 'what has happened to shiv..today…he used to like these parties with family a lot' and then went back to his friends chatting..shiv went up… nikhila saw that too and she smiled to herself… thinking… 'beta …ab …tu tho gaya kamse...'

******************************
Part : 8

Then, everyone was enjoying the party and food and gauri was chatting with some of the guests at the party standing with Nikhila when some one went by pushing her… and the food spill on her dress… and Nikhila said her to go wash her dress and change into some of her saree or chunidar… for now…in her room… so gauri made her way to nikhilas room… and she was going by shiv's room looking at her dress…and shiv who was sitting on his bed with his glass of juice saw some one go by and came out of the room to see and found… gauri walking by humming a song
'Tum bin jiya jaye kaise…
kaise jiya jayea tum bin…
sadiyonsi lambi hain ratein…
sadiyonse lambe huye din…
aa ja lotkar vapas…
yeh dil keh raha hain…'

thinking that no one was around…as she only hummed songs when she was alone…

She was singing really sweetly …and there was no one in the house… due to which the song was beeming in Shiv's ears…

Shiv kept watching her go to nikhila moms room and he was listening to the song… and felt his heart jump with joy listening to her sing…he wanted to listen to it more… 'but …why did he want to listen to it more…' … 'why he was feeling this unusual feeling…from the time he saw her…'

Then she went into nikhila's room… went into washroom and washed her dress and then went to nikhilas cupboard and took out a light peach color saree… which had embedded light embroidery… in it… and took it changed to saree and came out… and Shiv stood there for some time.. and then went to his bed and sat down again… and recollecting the song gauri was singing… and thinking… 'why is all this happening to me… ' he was feeling confused…

Then Gauri came out of nikhila's room and was walking to the stairs… when she passed shivs room… again shiv cameout… to here her sing…


'Hum bewafa hargiz na the ….
par hum wafa karnaske…
hum ko mili uski saza…
hum vo katha karna sake…'


and shiv saw her in saree from behind and then when she got down the stairs he saw her from side…she looked adorable…in the peach color saree… and he thought… 'Wow… She is so beautiful… 😛 ' and then immediately thinks… 'what has happened to me…??' 'I have seen more beautiful girls before….???' 😕

He took his empty glass and came down behind her… gauri did not know shiv was there in his room…all the while…

****************************
Part : 9

Gauri came back to the party… and found most of the guests have left and it was nikhila's family and relatives that were there… and then looking at them talking..she went to nikhila and said 'aunty I will leave now..i will bring this saree tomorrow..' and Nikhila said..beta… 'Thodider aur rukjao.. phir jaana… aao…mere sath beyto…aur yeh saree tumpar bahut jachti hain..' and Gauri couldnot say anything just nodded and smiled…

And then all the young crowd from the relatives joined together and all girls and boys started playing 'Antakshari' (the famous game..right)

And they took gauri in too..and shiv and vivan and all were there… in the boys gang…and gauri along with others in the girl gang…

Gauri was sitting behind everyone… as she did not know anyone..much… and was feeling a little lost…but she enjoyed songs and hence was enjoying all the songs that were being sung… and Shiv who was sitting along with vivan in the first row was looking at her from the corner of his eye from time to time..

The girls were stuck with 'tha' letter and not knowing what to sing..


and were confused…so one of them asked her and she said 'tujhe dekha tho ye jana sanam' and every one started to sing…and our shiv being shiv …said.. 'jiska gana hai..vahi gaye… varna koi aur gana gaye.. 😊 ' and every boy supported him… and all girls requested gauri to sing..but she was all shy and not willing to sing..but finally she sang… and the moment she started every one became calm…

Gauri's eyes were down cast as long as she sang the song…

'tuje dekha tho yeh jana sanam …
pyar hota hai dewana sanam…
ab yeh hase kaha jaye hum…
teri bahome marjaye humm….
Tujhe dekha tho yeh jana sanam….'


Gauri closed her eyes in the end and shiv was looking at her as she sang…and the moment she completed every one clapped for her and girls said..you have a sweet voice… and gauri was in smiles… 😊

They played for some time…then every one started to leave… and gauri also left after some time with alok… and shiv kept on looking at her all the while … from the corner of his eye… without anyone noticing him… and smiling to himself from time to time… 😳

After the party was over… Nikhila went to Shivs room to see if he wants anything… Shiv was sitting in bed and smiling to himself and in his own world… Nikhila came in and said… 'Shiv…' he came back to senses and said 'Ji mom..' and then Nikhila said… 'beta ..soja… bahut derhogayi hain…aaj party ki wajase.....kal office bhi tho jana hain..'

Shiv… asked nikhila to sit on the bed and he put his head in her lap and was wanting to say something.. and Nikhila knew when he had something to ask he would do that.… So, she started messaging his hair and patting him… and Shiv said… 'Mom… voh ladki jo aapke kamreme ayithi… uska naam kya hain…' and Nikhila said… 'Voh..tho Gauri thi… kyun puch raheho…??' and shiv said 'Bas eisehi…' he then asks… 'Mom.. yeh vahi Gauri hain naa..jis ke baremein tum batati thi…voh samne vala bunglow me rehthi hain naa…??'

'Haan …lekin yeh sub tum kuyn pooch raheho..' and again shiv said.. 'Bas ..eisehi..' then nikhila said… ' Phele tho ..aise …kisi ladki ke bareme… mujse puchanahi… tho ab kyun puh raheho….??'

And Shiv was like ohh-no mom might catch me… so he said… 'Bas eisehi ..pucha..' 'ab mujhe bahut need aarahi hain… aur suba office bhi to jana hain..aap jake sojayiye..'
Then he smiled and said 'good night mom' and went to sleep…
And Nikhila being nikhila had got another hint…and she said… 'Aur kuch nahi jana hain…. Gauri!! ke baremein…!!' 😉 and gave a quizzing smile and said 'goodnight beta...'and closed the door behind her…

Shiv was a little shocked that his mother had some clue… and was not able to sleep… he was recollecting all the things that happened this evening… he and gauri coming face to face and then he listening her sing..and how she sang that song … and how she smiles at everyone.. and how beautiful she is… 😛 😳

He was feeling restless…and smiling to himself thinking about her…and slowly the soft breeze made shiv drift of to a pleasant sleep…

Pari pari hain ek pari
Aasman se aa giri
Samane mere khadi
Mujhe usse pyar hogaya…

Who chand taronki roshani hain..
Who mandironka diya…
Us jane manki bas ek jalak ne…pagal mujhe kar diya…

Who mere sasonki raagini hain…
Who mere dono jahan…
Who mang letjo…kabhi toh… dil kya use tho..dedu…meri jaaan…

Pari pari hain ek pari
Aasman se aa giri
Samane mere khdi
Mujhe usse pyar hogaya…

Joh musku rake … dekha mujhe toh..
Huva dil mera fida..
Hain uske jaisi ..badi suhani…us nazaniki ada…


From: Hangama…(movie)


After leaving Nikhila ..went to her room and talked to mahen about all that she saw and how shiv was curious about Gauri.. and then mahen said… 'gauri is a sweet girl and they would be good together…if shiv likes her then we can go further and talk to them about it…but I think it is too soon…he has seen her just today…lets wait for some time…let him come out… about his views…why should we hurry and then regret….'

Nikhila who was excited about the whole thing… kind of felt dull when mahen said that …but she knew it was true… 😊

Few days passed by…

There were few more things that were happening..

One day Shiv called from office… to just talk to nikhila… about what she is doing in the evening…and nikhila said… Gauri is here and we are having some work together … so it will not be possible… and he keeps the phone and after hr we see… shiv is at the door… and when nikhila asked why so early..he said.. I was having a head ache..and then he changed his dress from suite to casual wear and then came and sat in the living room where gauri and nikhila were doing some painting … and switched on the tv and sat there but kept looking at gauri from time to time... and did not move from there till gauri left.... after an hour....


another day.... ; ************
It was a Sunday and Shiv was going to spend time with Vivan and friends…
He was getting down the stairs and going out…when he saw Gauri coming in … with some food containers in hand…and she went to Nikhila and said.. 'Aunty…I made allu parate and dal makhini..' so I brought some for you… and then nikhila asked her to call alok and ask him to come for lunch here as we are alone and we can all have lunch together… and gauri..called alok and talked to him..to which he said..ok…

All this while Shiv came down the stairs… to listen to what they were talking... he kept a magazine in front of him and was listening.. and when nikhila asked… why din't you go… he said… 'Vivan had called and they have canceled the program… so I am staying home..' and So, He ate parathe and dal makhini..and smiled to himself thinking gauri is a good cook.... 😳 and later sat back in the living room and... kept on looking at gauri from over the magazine and some times just staring at her…
Suddenly after lunch… Vivan came in with other friends..and said…Shiv… what happened… you made the plan and you did not turn up..so we came to check on you…and thats when shiv realised he had forgotten to call vivan to say that he was not coming... he was so engrosed in gauri...that he completly forgot about it...so,shiv said… 'just did not feel like coming..' and Nikhila heard all this and she was happy that may be what she was thinking is correct…

***********
One day Alok was going on a business trip to US for 2 weeks and did not know where to leave Gauri …when he expressed his concern … Nikhila said that she has many guest rooms so, Gauri could stay with them for these 2 weeks if it was ok with him and gauri..…

Gauri was excited…as she lost her mother years ago.. when she was young and had always been looking for that affection and

for Nikhila had always wished for a daughter which due to some problems never happened after Shiv was born…so it was a mutual affection between the two…

Alok was more than pleased as now mahen and family were close to alok family… his daughter wouldnot be more secure anywhere else..

Shiv did not know anything about this… and after a week Gauri came to Nikhila house with bags.. after sending alok to the US flight….

She put her bags in the Guest room that was beside Nikhilas room… and then came down to help Nikhila in cooking for the night… and After cooking… Nikhila asked Gauri to go freshen up… So that they would have dinner and then go for a walk in the garden…..

Now what will happen... 😉 keep reading...

****************************** **********
Part : 12

So gauri went to freshen up and Shiv came home… he called out.. 'Mom Coffee for me… I am Home..' and was running to his room to change his clothes and freshen up and come… He went got ready and came down…Nikhila brought his coffee.. and Gauri had got ready
And came down the stairs wearing a chunidar…. And her dupata… swinging on her shoulders…. Gauri did not see shiv... she was just coming down thinking of helping Nikhila… But Shiv was sitting in the living room sofa and watching TV changing channels… when he felt some one is coming down the stairs he turned his head to see… and then went back to seeing TV after a minute… he jerked his head as if he realized something and looked at the steps again… and had a shocked face 😲 …. On seeing Gauri… there… coming down…

Gauri when she came down…. Looked around and saw shiv looking at her…she looked at him for a few seconds and gave a samll tight smile... and lowered her eyes and just walked to Nikhila… to help her….

The food was ready … and Gauri was helping arrange the table for dinner…

Shiv then looked in the direction Gauri was walking …looking at her for few minutes then turned to face the TV and just sat there staring… thinking…
'Gauri yaha pein…' 'nahi nahi hohi nahi saqta….' 'aaj kal mein Gauri ke kuch zada hi sapne dekh rahahu…' and looked back again to confirm whether it was just his imagination or was Gauri really there…. And then pinched his hand and said 'Ouch…' 😵 [ 😆 ] and then said… 'uff…uff…' was blowing air on the place where he pinched himself...[ 😆 ] and turned again to confirm…. When he saw Nikhila talking to Gauri… then he smiled thinking 'its confirmed Gauri is here…' … and thought…'Gauri iswaqt yahein kya kar rahi hein…' 'Aur…. Who mama ka madat kyun kar rahi hain… dinner table par…' 'Kya aaj Gauri aur Alokji hamare sath dinner kar ne wale hain…' 'Gauri …. Is looking so sweet in that chunidar….' And then said to himself in a little angry tone… 'Stop it shiv… if you keep on thinking about Gauri…you will make it obvious to people around you that you are staring at Gauri…' 'Control yourself..!!!'

Nikhila then called Shiv for dinner…and Shiv got up and started walking to wards the table thinking… 'I will not look at Gauri now…' and Gauri was smiling at Mahen and keeping plates.. he walked towards the dinner table and he did not look at Gauri…even Gauri did not look at him… She sat beside nikhila and Shiv sat beside mahen… Shiv did not lift his head nor did Gauri lift her head…
And No one was talking… So, Mahen asked Shiv 'how was your day beta…' and Shiv said… 'teek tha dad….' And then they continued talking about some projects how they were dealing and other things…and nikhila looked at both of them a little angry and said… 'kitni bar kahahain…kam se kam khane par tho business ki batein mat karo….' 'Jab dekho business ki batein… tum dono ko tho… jungle mein bhi chod dona tabhi betike business ki batein karo gein…' and gave a frown to mahen… 😳

And Mahen said… 'Tum bhi na Nikhila… jungle mein hum kya business kar sakthe hein…' 'Haan… sirf lakadi bech sakthe hain….' And gave a smile to nikhila and Nikhila kept a face which said… 'tumara kuch nahi hosaktha…' and Shiv gave a high-fy to Mahen and laughed while Gauri smiled …. 😆 And then while laughing Shiv looked at Gauri and became calm and Gauri too stoped smiling…and then they went back to eating…

and later Gauri helped nikhila to keep all the things in the kitchen… after the dinner was over….then Shiv was sitting in the living room sofa along with mahen … playing with the remote in hand and looking at Gauri from time to time.. and thinking… 'Mera man kyun har waqt use dekh neka man kartha hain…. '

'Tujhe chune ko dil karein..
Tujhe pane ko dil karein…
Jo bat mere dil mein chupi…
Jo bat mere dil mein chupi….
Woh bataneko dil karein…
Oh piya … Oh piyaa….

Yeh roop mehka…
Yeh zulph bhikaree…
Yeh dil lubana tera….
Madhosh mujh ko karne laga hain..
Yun muskurana tera….
Yun muskurana tera…
Tere dadhkan mein aaj tho …
Bas jane ko dil karein…

Jas bath dilke phir aaj badlein…
Moosam hain rango bhara….
Phoolokein jaise khilthe badan ko….
Aaa chuum luoon mein zara….
Aaaa chuum luuu mein zaraaaa….
Tujhe chune ko dil karein…
Tujhe paneko dil karein…
Tujhe chune ko dil karein…
Tujhe paneko dil karein…
Jo bat mere dil mein chupi…
Jo bat mereee dil mein chupi…
Woh batane ko dil karein…
Oh piya… Oh piyaaa….

Popsong by sonu nigam…
playing in the back ground….

'why am I not able to stop myself from looking at her…??'

Gauri finished helping Nikhila and was heading to her room when Nikhila called her and said 'beta hamara walk per janeka plan thana… kya tum aarahiho…'and gauri smiled and said… 'ji aunty aarahihu…' and she came to Nikhila and both headed out… and shiv was all the while staring at them leaving…once they had left…. Shiv asked his dad… 'Dad…' and mahen who was reading paper…. Said.. 'hmm…' not lifiting his head from the paper…
And Shiv asked .. 'Gauri … yeha kyun hain…??' and Mahen lifted his head
and said… 'Ohh… Gauri… is going to stay with us for 2 weeks… Alokji US gaye hain…kisi business ki wajase…Aur woh parishan who rahethe… Gauri ko kis ke sath chode… toh…Nikhila ne Gauri ko yehan rehne keliye kaha…' and went back to reading his paper…

And Shiv had a smile playing on his lips… 😃 his heart was jumping with joy… 😛 😳 and he was sitting there and waiting for them to come back… Gauri…was smiling and talking to nikhila when they were coming back…
Gauri at first did not see Shiv and was laughing and talking to nikhila…but the moment she saw him…she composed herself and became calm…and said to nikhila… 'good night aunty… sweet dreams…' and nikhila greeted her back… 'Acha beta… good night …'and gave a small kiss on her cheek…for which gauri gave a smile and then gauri walked a few steps and said … 'Good night uncle…'and Mahen lifted his head from his paper and said … 'Good night beta…' and gauri gave a smile to him and then climbed the stairs fast … without looking at Shiv… went to her room…

Shiv… saw her… how she composed herself when she saw him… and felt a little happy… that's one thing he also maintained… becoming composed when someone was around… and felt happy she also did that…

Nikhila… came and said… 'Shiv … tume bhi jakar sojana chahiye… beta…' and shiv said… 'ok..Mom..' … 'goodnight papa..' 'good night ..mom' and started climbing up the stairs… two stairs at a time…and … going up… turned back a little and said… 'sweet dreams too Mom… 😳 ' for which Nikhila quickly got the hint… and she looked at Mahen.. to know if he got the hint… But Mahen was seriously engrossed in the paper… Nikhila felt a little irritated… 😕 so she went and pulled the paper from his hand…and said.. 'Aap ko paper padneke..sivaye..koi aur kam nahihai kya… aapko ghar mein kya horahahai..koi khabar hain ki bhi nahi…??'
Mahen knew its better to only listen now than talk..so he said..calmly… 'kya bat hain nikhila… batavo to sahi…' 😆

And nikhila excitedly told… shiv never told her 'sweet dreams' in his life till now… and today he told that… and mahen put a expression which said… 'for this you took away my paper..' 😕 … and nikhila understood that and explained him why she is saying so… and then mahen said to her, donot come to conclusions with little things… lets wait and see… and said… from now on even I will keep an eye on him…is that ok…and nikhila felt satisfied… and nodded in agreement…

Shiv..came to his room… got into his bed…and kept staring at his room…Gauri's smile came infront of his eyes…and he smiled… at it…and then again..it vanished..and shiv kept searching in the room… with his eyes wide open… then …he realized … and thought..to himself… 'why this is happening..to…me…' although same question he is asking… from so many days…he had no answer for it… he closed his eyes tightly… even then he could see Gauri… he felt… like… 'what the hell is happening to me..???' 😕 he thought to himself… 'what is all this…??' 😕 .. 'I have seen so many girls..in my university…and office…but why do I rememeber her so much…there is something about her…'.. 'but why I keep thinking of her…all the time…the more I see her …the more I think of her… the more I avoid her…the more…I keep remembering her…' 😛 😳

He wants to speak to someone… about this..but doesnot know..to whom..he cannot speak to his friends..as they will tease him… and he has never talked about a girl before to them …and the left over are mahen, nikhila and vivan..

He starts thinking 'shall I talk to dad…' then thinks… 'no, no… what will I say him…I donot know myself what I am feeling now…I think first I need to figure out myself… then speak to Mom or Dad…about it…'

'What I am feeling is it… attraction or affection …???'

He keeps thinking this and doesnot get an answer... and scratches his head.... and slowly drifts into sleep…

*********************************

He wakes up in the morning… and then goes into the balcony… it's a clear sky.. we can see the Early Sun rising in the sky… and birds are flying..with chirping noise … and flowers are fresh with dew drops floating on the petals… cold winds going by…. Waking every person…on its way… 😃

He smiles to himself and goes to wash his face and then get into the daily routine of going for a jog... in the garden… around the house… 😛

So, he wears his track pants… comes down to take water bottle from the refrigerator… hoping his mom to be around… cooking the breakfast… but…

When he comes there… Gauri is there making the dough for the paratha's and Nikhila is cutting vegetables… he backsoff for a second 😲 then comes back to senses…and stares at Gauri… 😳 . She looked like she had already got a bath and was looking really beautiful… 😳 he then goes in… is taking a bottle of cold water from the refrigerator …and says to Nikhila… ' Mom..i am going for a jog…iwill be back in half an hour..' … 'Nikhila smiles at him and nods…'
😃 And Gauri… is making the dough…listening to his talk..but doesnot look at him… So, he walks from there… then Gauri goes to Nikhila… and says… 'Aunty…itna subha… tanda pani pinese…(cold water) sardi aajayegi… aapko batana chahiye…' 😳 (how sweet..) and Nikhila smiles at her and says… 'Thanks beta..mera tho dhyan hi nahitha…'.. 'par mein zara busy hu na… tu jake zara batade use…'.. 'aur zara wahase.. normal pani…leke use dede…'
😳 And Gauri…felt… numb… she was not used to speaking to boys a lot…even in her college days she used to keep away from boys… 😕

But, not to say no to nikhila aunty…she nodds her head and comes walking from there… when she walks into the living room… Shiv is starting to go out of the door… So, she walks a little fast and then… is behind him few steps away… and shiv bends down to tie his shoe lays… So, she comes there is standing behind him… and doesnot know how to call him… she is moving her hand forward… to call him and thinks it's a bad idea… then she says… 'suniye…' 😳 in a very low voice..which Shiv doesnot listen…. So, she increase her voice a little and again says… 'Suniye..' 😳 to which Shiv gets a shock and turns around in a hurry… 😕 (as if some one scared him…). And huffs out and then looks at Gauri… and Gauri lowers her head and lowers her eyes and not looking at him… brings forward her hand with a bottle and says… 'Itne subha… tund mein … tanda pani pina nahi chahiye… sardi lag sakthi hain…' and holds the bottle for him to take and Shiv…keeps staring at her…thinking… to himself… 'Is gauri..really talking to me… 😆 😳 '
And smiles and takes the bottle… and turns to leave… even gauri turns and starts walking slowly… Shiv takes a step and then stops and turns and says… 'Thanks for the suggestion…' 😳 in his husky voice .. Gauri… who was going … turns back and gives a small smile 😊 ..to him…. And he smiles back at her and leaves… and Gauri goes back to the kitchen…

***************************
Part : 15

Shiv after the jog in the garden… just sits in the garden…enjoying the scenic beauty of their home garden… and his mind… goes back to remembering… Gauri giving him…water bottle and how shy she was to talk to him…and how she gave a smile to him… he smiles to himself …thinking…how cute of her…

Then Shiv…sees some flowers.. and goes and plucks a few of the roses and brings them and comes to his mom and gives the flowers… to his mom and says… 'mom yeh aapke liye..' and goes of to his room.. climbing…

Nikhila thinks… 'He has started liking flowers… I know beta… hota hai…hota hai… eisabhi hota hai…' and smiles to herself…thinking 'jo mein soch rahi hu…. Who such hoto kitna acha ho…'

He gets ready…messes up his room with clothes as usual… and comes down for breakfast… and says.. 'Good morning Dad…' and mahen says 'Good morning beta…' and then they talk about some office work… when nikhila says… 'Kitni bar kaha hai..breakfast table par office ki batein mat karo… kabhi tho aram se breakfast kiya karo…'

And putts the allu paratha and orange juice glass to each one… and Shiv takes a bite of the paratha…and without thinking..says… 'Mom.. aaj allu ke parathe bahut ache bane hain…' and Nikhila says… 'Acha… lekin.. aaj parathe… mein ne nahi… Gauri ne banaye hain…' and Shiv sees Gauri bringing some more parathe… and coming towards the table…and becomes calm… and mahen on seeing Gauri says.. 'beta… aaj parathe tumne banaya..' and Gauri smiles and says 'ji.. uncle..' and mahen says 'bahut ache banehain beta…' 'roz roz tumare aunty ke hatse bane parathe khakar… bore hogaya hu…Kalse sirf tumhe banana beta…' and Gauri nods her head and smiles… but on seeing nikhila and then mahen look…she …starts to laugh…keeping a hand on her mouth… and Nikhila gives a querky look at Mahen and Shiv and Mahen give a 'Hi-5' to each other… and suddenly Shiv and Gauris eyes meet while laughing and both compose themselves and become calm…
And shiv starts eating his food quietly… and Gauri… feels that maybe I am disturbing their private time..thinking so, she starts to go from there…



****************************** *****

Part : 16

and Nikhila says.. 'beta… kaha jarahiho… tumne apni breakfast nahi kiya hain na…' 'Aaajo …beyto… breakfast karke phir jana..' and Gauri says… 'nahi aunty… badme karlungi… abhi bhook nahi hain…' and gives a small smile…and Nikhila says.. 'koi..bahana nahi….' And looks at mahen and shiv and says… 'yeh… dono… kabhi nahi puchenge… ki ..kya hum ne khaya ya nahi…bus inke liye breakfast ready kardo… bus… khake chelejayenge…' and gives a quzzing look to them…
And mahen and shiv are dumbstruck… nikhila continues to say… 'inke liya tum kyun apna bhook chupa rahi ho…' and Gauri… defends saying… 'Aise.. koi bath nahi hai aunty…sach me bhook nahi hain…' and was about to say something else when phone rings… and nikhila goes to lift the phone and signals her to have her breakfast… and mahen says.. 'ajao beti..breakfast karlo… varna tumare aunty tume chodenge nahi..' and shiv is looking at her… and Gauri gives a quick glance at Shiv..and when she notices that he is staring..she lowers her eyes and just sits down and serves herself… and is about to eat it… when nikhila says… 'beta… tumare papa ka phone hai…ek bar bat karlo..' and brings the cordless to her… and gauri, the moment she listens to the sentence has a big smile and gets up, walks fast and takes the phone ….. Shiv did not miss to see her big smile…..he stared at her…. and Gauri….says… 'papa… aap kahase bat karrahe hein…?' and Alok replies 'Beta…mein… France airport se bat kar rahahu…' 'dusre..flight janekeliye abhi waqt hai..' and gauri… says… 'acha…tek hai papa…pahunch thehi … phone karna papa…' and alok says… 'tho..keisi ho tum… sub kuch tek hai na…' and Gauri says… 'haa papa mein bilkul tek hu… nikhila aunty aur mahen uncle mera bahut kayal rakthe hain… aunty tho… bilkul maa jaisehi hain…' and Gauri continues about all the things she did from yesterday till today… forgetting that she is in nikhilas house and all are listening to what she is speaking… Shiv sees her and thinks… 'how innocently she is talking to her father…like a small child… and how matured she does things otherwise…' and smiles to himself…
And Nikhila and Mahen look at eachother and smile about gauri …then Nikhila signals Mahen to look at Shiv… and mahen understands and looks at shiv… and they see.. Shiv has stopped eating his paratha and is staring at Gauri… and smiling to himself… and mahen looks at nikhila and they smile at eachother…and nikhila then says… 'Ahem..Ahem…' and Shiv comes back to this world and looks at his parents… to see if they caught him… and sees that they are busy eating their breakfast and nikhila is serving mahen…so he finishes his breakfast and washes his hand and leaves for the office… saying.. 'Bye..Mom…' and while going out of the house he looks at Gauri who was in her own world talking to her dad....and then smiles and goes to office.... then Nikhila says… 'aapne dekhana…' in a exciting voice… and mahen says… 'Haan mein ne dekha… kuch bat zaroor hain..' and Gauri has kept the phone and walks towards the table to complete her breakfast…

******************************

Part : 17

Mahen and Nikhila look at Gauri who is coming to the table and look at eachother and smile and then Mahen gets up and starts for office saying bye to nikhila and then Nikhila and gauri have their breakfast…and talk about all the stuff about serials, about food, about clothes etc…

Gauri makes a painting…and both Nikhila and Gauri… complete it…and then Nikhila takes Gauri to Gauri's room and both Fix it on the wall…
Nikhila feels that…if she had a daughter they would sit together and do such stuff… although she had her lovely time with her son… she always had this feeling that… she is missing something… and now she is enjoying great time with Gauri…

And then by the time this project of theirs is done its… evening and then they need to get back to cooking… all the servants had finished all the other work of cleaning the house and watering the plants… etc…

Gauri and Nikhila were enjoying each others company a lot…

In the evenings too… after dinner… nikhila and Gauri used to sit and watch dvd- movies that they had purchased in shops…. The lovely dovely movies…. Like dilwale dulhaniya lejayenge….. kahona pyar hai…. Yesboss… chupke chupke…. And all soft romantic movies….. and they used to cry and feel bad when something happened b/w heroine and hero…. And enjoy all the songs etc….

Like this days passed by… Shiv and Mahen were busy with office work and Nikhila and Gauri were busy enjoying with each other… and in the evenings and mornings when ever shiv was around Gauri used to be calm and composed and Shiv was also..the same…he used to be calm and composed when he sees Gauri around… and when she is not there he makes jokes with his mom and dad…
And Mahen found Shiv..staring at Gauri a few times..and then smiling to himself… and mahen expressed…his feelings to Nikhila and they now felt that…surely Shiv has some feeling for Gauri… but they wanted him to comeout first…

************************

One day Shiv came home and called out 'Mom ..i am home..' but got no answer..instead a servant came and told that nikhila and gauri were in the garden watering the plants…Shiv went to his room… he got changed… and came down had his coffee… and was watching tv… and some time passed by still they were not coming..so he went to check by in the garden… he was casually walking by in the garden… when he saw… Gauri..jumping and laughing loudly…behind some bushes .. and Shiv curiously walked faster…to see whats going on there…and found…... Nikhila and Gauri… were playing with water… the pipe was in nikhilas hand and she was making Gauri all wet and Gauri was enjoying… and jumping with joy…She was swinging and dancing with joy in the water… and then…after some time..when she was totally wet…she came near nikhila and said…with a mischief in her voice… 'Aunty…I want to hug you.. 😉 ' and then Nikhila… jumped and started running around….(as nikhila did not want to get wet 😆 )… Saying… 'Gauri..no…' 'No..Gauri…no..no…' and Gauri was behind Nikhila running around…saying… 'only…one hug aunty..' 'only one hug…' ..

Shiv was watching all this… and smiling seeing them play… he slowly went to a dream land and saw him self holding Gauri by her waist and turning her around and pouring water on her and then hugging her….and kissing her forehead…and Gauri laughing and saying… 'Shiv! Mujhe niche utaro… mein gir javungi.... 😛 !!!'

He immediately… got a jolt and came out of his dream land and started scratching the back of his head…. 😕 And slowly walked back keeping his hands in the pockets of his pant he was wearing and walked few steps then turned around saw them for few more seconds

(I had a very good pictrue for this sequence which I wanted to post but... I donot know my new computer is not allowing to upload images here.... and I donot know what the problem is ..... 😡 )
and then again walked back … in… thinking… 'why…such a day dream came to him… ?' 'Is he wishing to be with her..?'

***********************************

Part : 18

Shiv came back…and sat in the living room… changing channels… not interested in anything… and thinking of what he just saw… Gauri's laughter was echoing in his ears… and then after a while Nikhila and Gauri came and they were laughing loudly… they came in and did not notice shiv was sitting there …they went into the kitchen…had some water… and then Gauri… said… trying to catch her breath… 'Aunty… ugle bar..mein aapko nahi chodungi… isbar chod diya… !!!' 'Aunty… aapko ek bar bhigna tho chahiye aunty… tab pata chelega..kitna achalagtha hai…' 'mujhe barish me bhigna…bahut acha lagtahai…' and then after talking a bit more… she came towards the stairs to get to her room to get changed… she saw…Shiv and at the same time… Shiv looked at her… her chunidar was hugging her, small drops dripping around…she was shivering a little and her hair was all wet… and when he saw her..she started adjusting her dress..not to look akward infront of him… shiv stared at her…and Gauri as soon as she saw him..she stared a little and then went up running to her room… and even after Gauri left…shiv kept staring at the place where she was standing…and smiling at the site…he just saw…

A few days passed by… and things were going the same way… gauri being quiet and calm and shiv was also calm and quiet… and kept staring at gauri from time to time…

And finally Alok came back from US and took Gauri home… he said thanks to Nikhila for taking care of his daughter and they had lovely dovley talk and then Gauri took her bags and went home…

Shiv came home from the office in the evening…and nikhila was preparing food… so he called out 'Mom I am back home…' and Nikhila smiled and said 'aagaye beta…I will bring Coffee for you..' and went in… Shiv went to his room got freshen up… and came down expecting Gauri to be around some where …. Nikhila brought the coffee… and gave it to shiv…and sat there… and shiv said… 'thanks Mom..' and took the coffee… and said… 'Aaaj Ghar kuch badla badla sa hain na mom…' and Nikhila said 'Nahi tho beta…' 'Aaise…kyun kehra heho…' and Shiv said… 'Kuch nahi mom… bas eise laga mujhe…' and then they were having some talk about some things… but Shiv's eyes were searching for Gauri from above the coffee cup… his eyes were scaning the whole living room with his eyes… and nikhila noticed that..and said… 'Kuch dund raheho…beta..' and Shiv was startled and said… 'Kuch bhi tho nahi mom…' and went back to drinking coffee… thinking that she might be in her room…then nikhila… went back to cooking… and it was dinner time…and Nikhila called Shiv and Mahen for dinner and served dinner… and Shiv's eyes were searching for Gauri… and then Mahen asked what shiv was not able to ask… 'Are Gauri kaha hain…' and Nikhila replied ' Ji aaj Alok ji wapas agaye… who Gauri ko leke chalegaye…' on listening to this.... Shiv's face which litup to say thanks to his dad for asking that question… just became dull… 😔 . And he went back to eating his food… and Mahen said… 'kitna acha thana… Gauri… ke hote huye… Who bahut pyari bachi hain…' and Shiv just listenend and ate his food quietly and when finished got up washed his hands and said goodnight to his mom and dad and went to his room…. Not talking much…

He went to his room… but he could not sleep… 😳 he remembered her laughter in the house… the way she smiled and talked with mahen and nikhila… and then the water bottle incident and then the water pipe incident and the parathe… incident..all came before his eyes… he felt sad…but did not know why…

Part : 19

Next 3 to 4 days passed by… Shiv became very quiet… he was gloomy... 😭 and this was visible to Mahen and Nikhila… he used to quietly have his food… only answered in yes or no... 😔 to all questions of Mahen and Nikhila… and went to his room and tried to figure out…why he is like that… why he is feeling sad… why he wants to see Gauri again… 😕

Mahen and Nikhila understood all the things but they did not want to be the first to ask him about Gauri… so they kept quiet for 2 to 3 days…

But, Nikhila then said… Mahen this is not happening… I cannot see my son like this… I will go and talk to him…and Mahen felt the same… 😊

So, the next day… after dinner…as usual shiv went to his room to sleep not talking anything to his mom and dad…

So, after Nikhila settlted everything… in the kitchen she went to shiv's room …. She knocked on the door…

And shiv opened the door… she said… 'beta… mujhe kuch tumse bat karni hain.. 😊 ' and shiv said… ' ji..mom… mujhe bhi aapse bat karni hain…its been long mom… that I have talked to you… (😳how sweet...) ' and Nikhila smiled and shiv made her sit on the bed and…he sat beside her facing her.. and said.. 'kahiye mom…' and Nikhila said… 'tum phle kaho… tum kya kehna chahathe the…' and Shiv said… ' Nahi..mom… phle aap kahiye…Mom..' and when Nikhila was about to interfere he said.. 'Ladies first mom..' and smiled at her and Nikhila smiled and nodded at him…

And Nikhila said… ' beta… mein 2 , 3 din sey dekh rahihu… tum bahut udas ho…. Humse bhi tik se bat nahi kar raheho… koi bat tume parishan kar rahiho … toh tum hum se bat karsak the ho… mujse nahi toh apne papa se bat karsakthe ho… tum bat karoge toh… problem pata chelegana… hum sab milke solution dundenge…. Tum istara chuprahoge toh… mujhe bahut bacheine… hoti hain beta…' and then she stoped … all the while looking at him… while saying this…

And shiv said.. 'eisi koi bat nahi hain mom… bus… mein kuch phaisala karna chahathatha… aaj mein ne phaisla karliya hain mom… aur mein aap se bat karne valatha… aur aap yeh phir kabhi mat kehna… ki mein apni problems aapse zyada papa se share karsaktha hu… aapdono… hi tho hain…jinke sat mein kulke bat karsakta hu…' and he stopped to look at his mom… who was in tears… listening to what shiv said… nikhila was in tears hearing those words and slowly she gave a beaming smile from those tears and said… ' thank you beta…'
she then wiped her tears and said… 'Ab batao … kya kehna hain…' and Shiv…. Got up from the bed and slowly… walked a little and standing near the window… and looking out at the moon in the sky and soft breeze blowing onto his face…his hair was waving due to the breeze…

Nikhila was curiously listening…

And he started to say… ' Mom… mein kafi dinno se… ek uljan me hu… pata nahi… mein kya mehsooz kar raha hu… par eise mujhe phele kabhi nahi laga… bahut bechain ne hoti hain… 😳 kuch kam me dhyan nahi hota… 😳 mein yeh soch soch ke parishan ho gaya hu… kyun mujhe aise lag raha hain… mere sath aise kyun ho raha hain… 😕

Usdin hamare ghar ki party mein … jab phele bar mein ne Gauri ko dekha… usdin se… aaj tak mein chein se bait nahi parahahu… 😳 mujhe pata nahi ki mujhe eise kehna chahiye ya nahi… mein ne kahi baar socha ki aisa soch na galath hain… lekin mera dil nahi maan raha hain… bar bar… usika chehra… akonke samne aajata hain… mein bar bar yahi soch tha tha …ki… mein ne ithne sare ladkiyon ko dekah hain… college mein …office mein..par kisi ko dekhke mujhe aise kabhi nahi laga… jaise Gauri ko dekhkar lagtha hain… ' he then paused and turned towards… nikhila to say something else… but stopped when he saw… Nikhila smiling at him… with delight in her face… she signaled him to come sit down…

Seeing his Mom smile… he gave a small tight smile and came back and sat down beside her..facing her… and asked… 'aap has kun raheho mom…' and Nikhila said… 'beta… aise hota hain… zindagime ek bar tho zaroor hotahain… tumare papa ko bhi huvatha…mujhe dek kar…. Aur mama keh thi thi… dadaji kobhi huvatha tumare dadi ko dek kar…' And then she laughed …..caught his hand and continued… 'Aur…aisa lagna galat nahi hain…' to which shiv gave a small smile again… and nikhila continued… 'ab mujhe sub kuch samaj mein aagaya hain…mujhe kya karna hain… aur mein kal hi… Alokji se… rishte ki bat karthi hu…' and Shiv was trying to hide his joy but it was clearly visible on his face… seeing that … Nikhila gave a smile and was about to get up… to go… when shiv said… 'Thank you mom…' and hugged her…and Nikhila hugged him back…and said… 'Thankyou beta…you don't know how happy you have made me…' and kissed his fore head and said…. ' ab tum sojao..beta… bahut der hogayi hain… good night…' and smiled at him… and went out of the room closing the door behind her…

Shiv… was overjoyed… he was smiling continuously… he went to the balcony… closed his eyes… and just put his head forward..and allowed the breeze to hug him…

And after some time… he again became tensed… ' will gauri say… yes …. Or no…' and this made him tensed again…

He was rolling in the bed and could not sleep all night…

On the other hand… Nikhila was also in the same state…she went to her room and excitedly told mahen everything and Mahen was excited to listen that…and then they decided they should talk to Alok ji about the proposal…

Next day morning… Shiv got up hurriedly and washed his face and came down hurriedly to find… Nikhila and Mahen sitting and having coffee… he was curious but did not want to show it…so he said… 'Good morning Mom..' 'Good morning… dad..' and both said 'good morning beta..'and smiled at him... and he said …he is going for a jog… took a water bottle and left the house into the garden but after jogging for few minutes he stopped and stood there and thought…. 'Mom say jakar poochu ki wo kab ja rahe hain alokji se milne….?' then he turned a little to come back to the house but then again… thought…. 'shiv control ur'self….be patient…. Patience ka phal meta hota hain….' and thinking this he turned to jog again… 😆 . Then again… he stopped and thought…. 'will gauri say yes ….. Or will she say no….. 😆 ' and then he thought…. 'what if she says no… what will he do….??' 😭 thinking this he felt tensed and sat down in the garden ...on the lawn…. Thinking…... he couldnot take the thought of Gauri saying No to the proposal.... He just wanted her to say Yes.... 😆 and later after a while came back slowly walking back home... all tensed and feeling irritated about his state now....… and went straight to get ready… and… thinking to himself… 'Should I ask..mom..when they are going to go…to Alok ji house … with proposal… or should I just wait…' and then he thought …. 'mein yeh soch soch kein…. Zarru pagal hoja yunga…' thinking this he smiled at his state in the mirror…. but he was getting restless… so he got ready quickly….. Still in dilema thinking about this … and came down for breakfast… and had his… breakfast… and was waiting for nikhila and mahen to give him some information regarding this… but… no one was giving any clue to him…. They were just having their breakfast… he felt irritated…. But he did not want to make it obvious to them that he is curious by asking them about it…so he kept quiet… still no one was talking to him about anything leave alone about the proposal…. He was feeling so restless and did not know how to express it…. So he just left his breakfast half way and went and washed his hands… and Nikhila said... 'beta breakfast katam toh kar ke javo...' and shiv said... 'Mujhe aaj kuch khaneka man nahi kar raha mom...' and Nikhila said... 'kyun beta.... tumari tabiyat toh teek hain...na...?' 😆 ... 'Kal rath thak toh teek the...' and Shiv felt akward that they are trying to pull his leg...so he...said... 'kuch bhi toh nahi Mom....Mujhe office me bahut kam hain... mujhe chal na chahiye...' and took his files and walked out angrily…. From the home without saying bye to mahen or nikhila….

Nikhila and Mahen who were watching him…and knew he was curious to know… but, were wantedly irritating him...…and when he left… they started laughing at eachother…
And Mahen commented that … 'Nikhila, hamara beta tho sach mein… gaya kam se…' and started laughing again….

And then Mahen and Nikhila started for Alok house and they came to Alok house and Gauri opened the door… and seeing them…she became all excited and happy and asked them to come in and made them sit and asked if they would take any coffee or anything… and when they said..they donot want anything..and asked her to sit down with them.... she said she will get them something… and that they have to take something…today…. and went into the kitchen… and after few minutes… brought some snacks and coffee for them… and was serving them…when nikhila asked for Alokji and Gauri said..she will call him… and went upstairs to call him… then Gauri and Alok came down… and Gauri said… Aunty aap bathe karo..mein abhi.. cooking complete karke ati hu… woh… curry bana rahiti… bas use complete kar ke ati hu… and Nikhila smiled at her and fondly looked at her leaving to the kitchen... and Mahen put his arm on Nikhilas to bring her back from her thoughts and when she was back he smiled at her ....

Alok was happy to see them and said… he was sorry he couldnot meet them after that day..but Gauri..kept talking to him about them… and he himself wanted to call them for dinner some day… this week…

And Nikhila and Mahen smiled at each other and then they had few business talk and all that… and then Mahen said… 'Hum aaj aapse kuch bahut important bath karne aye hain…' and Alok became curious and said.. 'Ji… Kahiye…' and Nikhila said… 'Hum… Gauri ka hath… Shiv keliye mangne aye hain..' and Alok was stunned… and thinking … when Nikhila said.. 'Aap ko abhi javab deneki zarurat nahi hain… aap sochke phir aap humse bath kijiye ga..'

*****************************
Part : 22

And Alok couldnot believe his ears… he did not know what to say…
After a min Alok spoke saying … 'Ji… mein apni betise ekbar puch ke..phir batana chahunga…' and Nikhila said.. 'bilkul… hum Gauri ka man ko bhi jana chahathe hain…' and Alok turned to look at the kitchen and Gauri was not there…he excused himself… and Nikhila said.. 'Aap Gauri se aaram se bath kijiye… ab hum chelthe hain…' but Alok said 'Nahi aap rukiye… mein us se bath karke abhi ata hu…' and went into the kitchen and looked at Gauri who was cooking the food and called her and said… 'gauri beta zara yaha aavo tho…' and gauri came near to him… and said.. 'ji …papa..' and Alok said… 'Nikhila aunty aur Mahen… yaha tumare hath… Shiv keliye mangne aye hain beta…' and stoped to look at her… and Gauri looked at him…and did not know how to react… and then Alok continued… 'Beta… mein tumari ray jana chahatha hu…' and Gauri bent her head and said… 'Aap ko jo sahi lage… woh kijiye papa…' and Alok… said… 'Tumara man kya kehta hain beti… milna chahogi… Shiv se ekbar…' 'Tumari maa hoti toh..tume aasan hota..yeh sab kuch kehna…' and Gauri lifted her head and said.. tearfully .. 'Papa aise bath…phir kabhi mat karna papa…' and hugged him… and Alokji smiled and said… 'Maine jitna Shiv ke bareme suna hain… mujhe to bahut pasand hain beta… agar tume kuch puchna hain… toh… mein unse keh dunga… ki tum Shiv se bath karneke bad hi phiysala karogi..' and Gauri said.. 'Nahi..papa..iski koi zarurat nahi… aap jo bhi thik samjhe…wahi mere liye bhi teek hain… Mujhe aapse zyada koi nahi janta… toh jobhi aap karenge.. who mere bhale keliye hi hoga…' … and Gauri said… 'Aaap jobhi pyisala lenge… use mein aakh band karke manlungi… mujhe kudh par bhi itna yakeen nahi jitna aap par hain papa..'

And Alok kissed her forehead and said 'Thankyou beta… mein janthatha ki meri beti yehi kahegi..isiliye mein unko betakar ayahu…' and 'Toh mein unse kehta hu… ki rishta hame manzoor hain…' and Gauri…lowered her head and smiled and nodded her head…and Alok looked at her … she lowered her eyes and blushed at herself…


Alok came back to Nikhila and Mahen and said… they accept the rishta…. And Nikhila was very happy… and she said… toh mein subka mu mita karthihu… and rushed to the kitchen and when she reached kitchen… she saw gauri cooking and smiled to herself and went in…and said… 'Gauri beta…' and Gauri looked at her and lowered her eyes and blushed smiling and Nikhila came near her and kissed her on the forehead and said… 'Thankyou beta… for accepting…' ' ab…is ghar ki tara… us ghar ko bhi… tumehi dhyan rakhna hoga beti…' and then Gauri was emotional and had tears in her eyes and hugged Nikhila saying.. 'Aunty..' and Nikhila hugged her and said.. 'Aunty nahi beta… Mama bol beta…' 'Mein bahut kush hu beta… ki tum meri ghar ki bahu banrahi ho…' ' Mere Shiv keliye..tum se achi… koi ho hi nahi sakthi thi…' and hugged her and then released Gauri and wiping her tears said… 'Oho… mein tho bhul hi gayi… mein tho yaha… shakar (sugar) lene ayithi…mu mitha karne keliye..' and then asked for sugar box and Gauri said 'Aunty… mu mitha karne keliye sweets hain aunty…..' gave it to her..and nikhila said…. 'meine kahana beta…. Mama bol beta…. Mein kabse is din keliye intazar kar rahi hu…' and Gauri smiled shyly and then nikhila took her along with her and brought her to the living room… after the cooking finished…and there Alok and Mahen were having some talk and smiling… Nikhila gave them sweets to all and then… Gauri took ashirwad of Mahen… who after giving ashirwad… hold her and said… to Alok… 'Alok ji… Aaj se Gauri meri beti hain…' and this made everyone happy…

Our Shiv who had gone to office… was impatient… and thiking.... 'shall i call and ask mom and dad now...?' ... he lifted the phone again kept it down...again lifted it and kept it down... banged his fist on the table.... then feeling restless called his dads cabin…and found that he had not reached the office…so he called home and there they told him … Mahen and Nikhila went out…and he understood that… they went to Alok's house and felt happy and smiled and then immediately became tensed he got up from the chair and was walking from one corner to the other in his cabin… and thinking how long have they gone…. Why are they not calling him … what would have gauri said... did she say yes did she say no... he pulled his tie a little down to reduce his anxiety... it was not helping...he removed his coat and threw it in his chair... still it was not helping.... and then looking at his cell and thinking… should I call dad… and find out… or should I wait… (master of confusion – donot know how he takes all business decisions so quickly 😆 ) and then keeps the phone back again…

Every 15 mins... he would call home and ask have they arrived… and

His PA enterd the room to find shiv not wearing his coat and his tie a little loose and shiv roaming int he room thinking.... it was not at all like the Shiv Sir .... to not wear his coat... he was always well dressed and expected the same from all the staff memebers...she stood there for few minutes and then said there is a staff meeting… when he looked at her and asked her why she was here.... he said… her to cancel it….

And his PA went out thinking… Shiv sir was never so tensed…. It might be something very important that he canceled his meeting too…. 😆 (Yes...its very very important....)

*************************************************************************
Part : 23

And Here… everyone were happy… smiling and having nice talk with Gauri sitting b/w mahen and Nikhila and Alok watching her smiling and talking to nikhila…and then Nikhila said… 'mein pandit ko bula kar …engagement or shadi ka muhurat nikhal wake phir aapko phone karungi..' and then everyone said good bye… and then mahen and nikhila came home happyly… and got to know that… their son… had been impatient and had called home several times…

Then they called Shiv and Mahen said… 'Shiv… kya tum kuch derkeliye… Ghar askte ho….' And Shiv said.. 'kya bat hai dad… aaplog kaha gayethe… mein kitni derse phone kar rahahu… koi serious bat tho nahi na dad…' and mahen said…. 'Bas tum Ghar jaldi aa jao beta … phir bat karenge… aur han… meri PA ko phone kar ke boldo..ki mein aaj Ghar pe rahunga… koi important bat ho toh Ghar pe phone Karen…' In a very serious and stern voice… and kept the phone and nikhila and mahen were laughing…

And Shiv as soon as he kept the phone… rushed out of the office…and said his PA to take care of his appointments and that he has an important work and will call back …..

And saying this he rushed to his car and got home… he stopped the car infront of the house and came in… walking fast…and he came to the door…saw his mom and dad sitting seriously… and was tensed as to what has happened…

Shiv walked fast to Mahen and Nikhila and said… 'Papa … kya huva… aapne mujhe itne jaldi phone karke kyun bulaya…' and Mahen seriously said… 'Beta… phle tum bait jao… phir batate hain…' and Shiv said… sitting… 'Ab batayiye dad… kya bat hain..' and Mahen said… 'Tumare jane ke bad hum Alok ji ke Ghar gaye the… tumare liye …Gauri ka hath magne…' and paused… and Shiv was curiously listening with his heart beating fast…
And then Mahen made his face quiet serious and did not continue… and then Shiv said.. 'Dad koi bhi bat ho…aap mujhe bata sakthe hain…' and paused… then mahen was still serious and thinking when Nikhila…burst out laughing…. And said… 'Ab.. bas …bhi karo..bechareko..aur kitna parishan karoge…' and Mahen said … 'Nikhila … this is not fair… thoda tho chidana chahiye..na…kitna maza aa rahatha…' and Nikhila continued… looking at Shiv … 'beta… unki taraf se haan hai…' and got up and opened her hands… and Shiv got up and went to her and hugged her.. and she said… ' I am very happy for you beta..' and Shiv said with a big smile… 'Thank you mom..' and Nikhila said… 'Agar tum usse ek bar milna chahate ho… toh… millo… phir hum sab ko bata denge… rishte ke bareme…' and then Mahen said… 'Shiv..' and opened his hands for a hug and Shiv turned and hugged him… and Mahen said… 'Happy for you beta..' and shiv was smiling…said 'Thanks dad….' and Nikhila went and brought sweets for him and Shiv said… 'Mom… aap sabko bata sakthi hain…' and Nikhila said… 'kya…' and shiv said… 'mere aur Gauri ka rishta manzoor honeki khabar…' and averted his eyes in Shyness…. And nikhila said teasingly…. 'Thanks beta…. To tum ab office jao….' 'tumne toh mera kam aasan kardiya….' and Shiv was confused… and looked confused…. 'kya kiya mom meine…' and nikhila said…. 'tumne abhi kahana tume gauri se nahi Milnahai…. ' and shiv was shocked…. And thought… 'Shiv… tu na bilkul budhu hain…. Tu kudh toh jake gauri se nahi puch saktha… bahar jane keliye…. Aur mom tume chance derahithi…. Who bhi tu ne gavadi….. Do something…before…. Things go out of hand…' and as shiv was in his thoughts scratching his head…. Nikhila waved her hand in front of confused Shiv… and when Shiv was out of his thoughts nikhila said… 'mera acha beta… ab tum jao office… ok… bye bye…' and she gave him his coat… and turned him…. And Shiv said….turning back… and said in a sheepish voice…. 'mom…. Ek bar toh milna chahiyena…hamein….'
And Nikhila gave a laugh…. And said… 'Toh… tume Gauri se milna hain…yah nahin….' and Shiv was smiling shyly and said… in a low voice.. 'milna tho hain…' scratching the back of his head.. and Nikhila smiled heartfully and kissed his forehead…. And put a sweet in shivs mouth…. said… 'Main Alok ji se bath karke… tume bata ti hu…' and she went and called Alok and told him that shiv wants to meet gauri once and then alok said ok and then nikhila said… so, I will send Shiv in the evening… to pick Gauri at your house …and she kept the phone… and came to shiv and told him that in the evening he can pick up gauri..and go out…. to talk to her…

*******************************
Part : 24

And Shiv after listening to this… was so much happy…. He kissed his mom and said… 'thank you mom… thanks a lot…' and then suddenly composed himself… and said… 'ok mom… see you in the evening… muje office jana hain…' and turned fast…. And started walking towards the door….

And Nikhila said… 'Shivvv…..' and Shiv…. Who was suppressing his smile… did not turn…. Just stopped and said… 'bye mom….' and left fast…. And Nikhila smiled happyly and then looked at mahen…. And mahen smiled back at her…..

Shiv started driving his car…. And was so happy he could not imagine his dream was coming true and that Gauri will be his…..

He drove his car…. Shyly smiling at himself…. To the office…. And when he reached the office…. Adjusted his tie and put his coat….. and walked in all composed…..

his PA was surprised to see Shiv Sir all decked up in his suite and now very calm as ever and while he was going out an Hour ago his tie was loosely hanging and his coat was in his hand and he was hurrying out …. But now he was so calm and composed like he normally is….with his tie and coat in tact….

once in his cabin… Shiv sat in his chair…. Could not stop smiling to himself… and Gauri's smiling face came infront of him…and Shiv …as if now he has the right to dream about Gauri… smiled at her and did not feel guilty of his feelings… now everything was sorted… now he had no questions… in his mind…

He was trying hard to concentrate but…. All his thoughts were occupied by Gauri…. He just called his PA and said… her to cancel all his meetings for the day….. And told her he would be leaving early…..

He came home 2 hrs early in the evening than he would come home daily…… and called out … 'Mom I am home…' and went running to his room climbing 2 steps at a time… and saw that Nikhila has kept his clothes out…. So, he smiled and took his dress and went to washroom… changed his dress… and came back... down… and Nikhila smiled listening to him shout….. And thought… 'Acha bachu… hota hain…beta hota hain……' and brought him his coffee… he took the coffee… drank it eagerly and looked at his watch… for every sip…. And Nikhila watched him…. And asked… 'kya beta… kahin janeki jaldi hain….' with a twinkle in her eye… and shiv knew nikhila was pulling his leg….. So he said… 'kuch nahin mom…bas eisehin….' and immediately… said… 'papa nazar nahi aarahe hain…. Kahin bahar gaye hain…' and nikhila said… 'nahi … bas garden mein walk par gaye hain…' and Shiv said… 'acha….' and he looked at his watch again…. And tapped his fingers on the coffee cup in rythme…..
And nikhila saw that… and said…. 'beta …. Coffee cup muje dedo…. Muje waise bhi…. Kitchen mein kafi kam hain….' and Shiv just nodded his head and gave her the cup….. And Shiv sat there and thought…. 'why the time is not going by fast….' and then mahen came home and saw Shiv sitting in the sofa… changing channels all ready …. And looking at his watch…. And came to him… and said… 'Shiv…. Tum itni jaldi ghar pein…' and shiv said… ' bas papa… office mein kuch zada kam nahi tha… toh socha ghar jaldi chalu….' and mahen…. Said…. 'acha… acha….' and enquired…. 'toh …. Phir tum…. Kapde badal lo…. Hum … tennis court chalthe hain….hum dono ne kafi dinose… tennis nahi khela hain…' shiv was startled and knew that mahen was pulling his leg now …. And said…. 'dad…' and mahen said… 'koi aur kam hain beta….?' and Shiv nodded his head… positively then negatively… and then positively and then negatively… and said… in a pleading tone…. 'dad…..' and Mahen laughed at Shiv's anxiety to meet Gauri… and said… 'I am happy for you beta…' and Shiv smiled….

Shiv sat there feeling bored that when will it be 6:30 and when will he go to pick up Gauri….

And finally, after a long wait which for shiv was not ending…. It was 6:30 and Shiv immediately got up and just rushed to his car….. And drove to Alokji house…

Mahen saw Shiv rushing and said… 'Nikhila…. Shiv abhi aisa hai tho ….shadi kebad kaisa hoga….' and Nikhila said… 'Kaisa hoga….. Apki tara hi hoga…. Yad hain aap ko…. Aap hamare shadi ke bad… pure 2 mehnoke bad gayethe…. Office ko….' and mahen said… 'wahitho….. Ab bhukat rahahu…' with a little irritation in his face and Nikhila twisted his ear and said… 'abhi kya kaha apne…..' and mahen said… 'kuch nahi….' 'ouch..'
'are kya kar rahi ho…nikhila… mein koi bacha thodehi hu…. Jo tum meri kan kich rahiho….' 'ouch…' 'acha baba…. Sorry….' and then nikhila said…. 'hmm…' 'ok… forgiven… kyunki mein aaj kuch ache mood mein hu…isiliye aapko chod rahi hu….' then both started laughing…. And felt happy for their son….

Shiv was wearing a Cream color suite… he was looking cute… and sweet… and reached Gauri's house… and parked the vehicle infront of the house… and took his keys… and reached for the door… he clicked on the calling bell and… waited…. Eagerly for the door to open…

A servant came and opened the door… and Shiv asked him… to tell Alokji that Shiv has come… so, the servant went to alok's room and told him… that a person by name Shiv has come to meet him… Alok smiled and came down and invited shiv into the house… and shiv took Alok's ashirwad… and then Alok told him to sit down and that Gauri was in her room and getting ready… and then Alok asked him if he would take coffee and Shiv said… 'Nahi uncle woh abhi ghar se hi aaraha hu…' and Alok smiled and said… ok and then he asked him how was the business going on… and then Shiv was looking around the living room… and Alokji told him that all the paintings are done by Gauri and all this is arranged by Gauri…. And Shiv gave a nervous smile ….as Shiv was feeling a little nervous about meeting Gauri… for the first time…. For the first time he will have gauri just beside him…. And he can talk to her….. It was exciting yet anxiety was taking a toll over shiv….

Gauri in her room… was getting ready… she wore a light yellow saree…

Gauri…was getting tensed in the room… as she has never talked to boys… and she was feeling her hands go…cold and sweat forming in her hands… she was feeling nervous…. And thinking what would she talk…. What would shiv ask…. Where they would be going….. Would he like her in a saree….

Alokji excused himself after a while and came upstairs…. to Gauris room…knocked on the door…and gauri came and opened it… then Alokji told her…that shiv has come and he is waiting for her to come down…. 'Jaldi karo …beta… shiv aa gaya hain…. Niche tumara intazar kar raha hain…' and Gauri nodded… saying 'Ji papa abhi ati hu…'

And then Alok brought Gauri down and Shiv was felt happy inside… although he gave a small smile… he was jumping with joy inside… and looking at Gauri…he got up from the sofa and stood there …. and gave a smile… looking at her…..

But Gauri had her eyes down cast and was feeling really nervous… to even look at shiv… Alokji said… 'Beta… tum toh shiv ko phle bhi mili hona… ' and Gauri lifted her eyes and looked at him and gave a small smile…. And Shiv also… gave a smile…

and then Alokji said… 'Gauri..beta… Shiv tumareleye kafi derse intazar kar raha hain… tume ab.. jana chahiye…' and Gauri .. nodded and said… 'Ji papa…' in a very low voice and then shiv and Gauri… came out of the house… walking beside eachother… and gauri… was maintaining a very safe distance from him…. Shiv opened the car door for Gauri to sit… and Gauri… just sat in..without even looking at him… and said slowly… 'thank you…' which Shiv did not miss to …listen and smiled to himself … he then closed the door… and went and sat in the driver seat…. And while starting the engine… turned his face side ways to…look at Gauri… who was avoiding him… and he said…in a soft tone… 'Aaj… phelibar…. Koi ladki mere…car ke front seat par bayti hain…'(A direct copy from HAHK 😆 ) and Gauri… turned her face… gave a small smile… then both Shiv and Gauri… were looking at each other… fondly… but Gauri…was increasingly becoming nervous… so to avoid.. Shiv… she quickly looked away and took the car seat belt and started fixing it…. Around her…. And Shiv gave a smile and started the engine and they started driving….

Gauri was looking out of the car window… and Shiv was driving… then after a while… Shiv said… 'Gauri…' in his husky voice yet making it soft… and Gauri turned to look at him….
And Shiv continued… saying… 'Toh… ab kaha jaye….' 'kya tumara kahin janeka mann hain….' And looked at her and Gauri…felt shocked and looked at him… and nodded her head in a negative way… and said… 'Ji… … nah…nahi…'(stammering.. 😳 shiv is already having a effect on her.... 😆 )and then looked down… Shiv said… 'Toh hum Resturant me… private dining… keliye… jayen ge…' and Gauri just nodded in aggrement… and Shiv took her to Taj (donot know much bigger names in Mumbai.. 😕 ) and when they came there… the attendee… opened the door for the lady… and then Shiv got down from the car… Shiv gave the car keys for parking…and Gauri and shiv started walking by… and when they entered the restaurant… Shiv said… 'Private Seating for two…' and also told him… I want to speak to the manager for a minute…say him.. its Shiv Kapoor.. and the boy nodded and went to call the manager… when the manager..came… as soon as he saw Shiv… he smiled and and said… 'Welcome Sir…' and Shiv said…in a serious tone.. 'I wanted to say…I want a private seating and You would be responsible for the supervision…' and Manager nodded… and said.. 'I will take care of it Sir…don't worry …Please go in..' and then he said the boy to take them to a particular part of the restaurant and then said him in a low tone… 'they should be made as comfortable as possible..no excuses… ' and Gauri all the while…was standing beside him a little away from him…with her eyes lowered… after shiv completed talking to the manager… the boy came to them… and said… 'Sir.. please come…' and directed them to the seating area…

They were taken into the private seating where…they had dim lightening… a little fresh breeze flowing by the table now and then.... moving the plants around table...
And the attender made them seated and asked them what would they want for a drink and Shiv ordered Coke and then attender looked at Gauri and said madam 'aur apke liye…' and Gauri…said… 'co..coke..' and shiv knew she was nervous and so was he……and the attender gave them the menu and said them he would be back… with coke…

Shiv and Gauri was going through the menu… Shiv was staring at Gauri from over the menu and thinking how beautiful she is looking in the saree in the dim light… and how innocent her face is… 😳 And Gauri was feeling… that shiv was looking at her … and was feeling her heart race… and she was thinking 'yeh mujhe kya hora ha hain...? 😳 '. So, she was trying hard not to look at him…. And concentrate on the menu… Although, she has been to many resturants and knew what the menu would be… 😆 she was curiously going through all the pages… to avoid Shiv…

Although Shiv was acting normal and trying to make things seem normal…. But his heart was beating hard from the moment he saw… Gauri… at Alokji house… today..

And the attender brought Coke and gave it to them and asked for the order… and Shiv… gave his order and asked Gauri to give her order and she gave her order… and then Shiv said… 'Jaldi… laneki zarurat nahi… dhirese lana…lekin sub kuch acha hona chahiye…' to which… Gauri… lifted her eyes..and looked at Shiv… and he gave a smile to her… and the waiter… said ok and left…. And Gauri…gave a small smile…

And then Gauri… lowered her eyes back and was sipping her coke and then looking around the space… and not looking at him…and avoiding him…

Shiv was avoiding everything else and sipping his coke and looking only at Gauri… after about 5 mins… Shiv cleared his throat…'ahem….hmm…' to get Gauri's attention… and Gauri immediately.. lifted her eye lids and looked at him… and was getting even more tensed…as now he was going to speak to her…

Shiv said… 'Gauri… Tume agar mujse kuch puch na hain…to puch sakthi ho…' and Gauri looked at him… and could not get her words staraight… 'Mujhe….' 'Mujhe… kuch bhi nahi poochna… hain..' and Shiv said… 'Kuch bhi nahi puch na hain…mere padayi ke baremein… mere habbits ke bare mein…kuch bhi nahi…' and Gauri just lowered her eyes and sat there… not knowing what to reply for that question....

And Shiv said… 'Agar tum puchna nahi bhi chaho… lekin mein batana chaha tha hu…' and continued when he saw Gauri was looking at him quizingly… 'Mein ne Apna masters of business management abroad mein kiya hain…. Mere bahut sare dost nahi hain… mein apni mama aur papa se… bahut pyar kartha hu…. Mere zindagimein… aaj tak koi ladki nahi hain… Mein jab college mein tha tho…bahut sari ladkiyan mujhse bat karna chahathithi… lekin mujhe koi pasand hi nahi aaye.... 😳 (hinting her.... I like you.... 😆 ) and gave a small smile... Gauri didnot know what was happening to her... she was blushing and lowered her eyes and thinking in her mind... 'mujhe yeh sun kar acha kyun lag raha hai...? 😳 ' even before she could think more... shiv continued...and Gauri lifted her eyes to listen to Shiv more...and Shiv continued...… Aur mujhe sharab pina pasand nahi hain… lekin agar mere friends pite hain tho mein une rokunga nahi…' … looked at Gauri… after he completed…. She looked pleasingly at him.. and then Shiv asked… 'tumare bare mein batao… Gauri'
Gauri just glanced at shiv… feeling nervous…
And seeing this Shiv said… 'Agar.. tum chaho toh… 😳 ' the moment Shiv said that.. Gauri started saying about herself slowly.. … 'maine…mein… apni masters of computers India mein kiya hain…' the moment she said that… Shiv's eyes became big in amazement and he thought in his mind...… 'she has done her masters in computer science.. but still she is so innocent.... '… and Gauri continued saying… with lowered eyes…. 'papa chahathe the.. ki mein abroad jake padayee karu lekin mein papa ko chod ke nahi jana chahathi thi…Aur jab hum kolkata mein the toh mere kuch saheliyathi… jinke mein bahut karib thi.....lekin... unki phir shadi hogayi… aur unke sath mulakat kum hogaya… aur mera mann kolkatha mein lag nahi rahatha... aur papa ka business ke clients yaha mumbai mein hain aur woh hamesha mumbai athe jathe the...… aur woh kafi dinose… Mumbai shift hona chahathe the… meri padayi ki vajase humein kolkata mein rehna pada..… jab meri padayi complete hogayi... hum yaha shift hogaye....aaj pehlibar kisi ladke ke se bat kar rahi hu… …mujhe bahut dar lag rahatha aapse bat karne ke liye…..' and she bit her tongue lightly... thinking...'kya zarurat thi Gauri yeh kehne ki...? ab Shiv kya sochen gein... mere bare mein....?' then she just stoped and didnot lift her eyes in embarasement.... And Shiv who was looking fondly at her… slowly said… 'Aur Ab…' and Gauri….immediately felt uncomfortable and lifted her eyes and gave a little smile and Shiv bent a little forward and kept his hand on gauris hand …. And Gauri felt something in her go weak… and it was the same with Shiv… he felt her cold hands….they looked at eachother and were lost in each others eyes for a minute …

And a song playing behind…

'kora kagaz tha yeh man mera….
Likha diya naam ispe tera….

kora kagaz tha yeh man mera….
Likha diya naam ispe tera….
Soona aangan tha jeevan mera….
rachagaya roop ispe tera…

Toot na jaye sapne… mein dara tha hoon…
Isdin sapne…mein dekha kartha hoon….

Toot na jaye sapne… mein dara tha hoon…
Isdin sapne…mein dekha kartha hoon….
Naina kajrare… matwale…Yeh ishare….

Aaye darpan tha yeh man mera….
Rachgaya roop isme tera….

voicing out Shiv's emotions.... and then the song faded away ..…

Shiv was about to say something… when the attender came with the order and immediately Gauri…pulled her hand away…and Shiv pulled his hand back… and looked at the waiter… feeling angry inside…. And then the attender placed the food and then asked… 'Sir aap ko kuch aur chahiye…' and Shiv said… 'Thodi der bad aana…' and then the attender left… and Shiv looked at Gauri…who was blushing… and trying to control her blush and look serious…and Shiv didnot miss… to see it…

Part : 27

He felt happy… that things were going on track about his life.…

Gauri did not lift her eyes to look at Shiv…as she did not want to blush more… and she knew if she looked up Shiv's smile would make her blush more…
Gauri did not know… Why she was going weak when he touched her… and why she was blushing… all this was new to her… she was feeling something which she did not know….

Shiv cleared his throat again… to get Gauri's attention…and Gauri lifted her eyes and looked at him… and Shiv asked… 'Gauri… mein aaj tumse isliye Milan chahatata…kyunki… mujhe tume puchnatha…ki… kya mein tume pasand hu…. Maa ne mujhe bataya ki tumari taraf se ha hain… lekin mein kudh suna chahatha tha…' with this said… in a very soft and fondly way….he waited for her to say something… and Gauri who was looking at him… lowered her eyes… and said… 'Ji… woh… woh mein…' and she could not complete the sentence… and Shiv said… 'Gauri… yeh hamari zindagika faisla hain… hum donoke liye acha hoga ki hum apni dil ki bat khul kar kahein…' and Gauri… lifted her eyes…looked fondly at him… that he was understanding… and then lowered her eyes and said… 'Ji… woh… mein aapko nahi janti hu…lekin mein apne papa ko janti hu… aur woh jo bhi faisala lenge… woh… mere achayi... ke liye hi hoga… woh… mujhe samajthe hain… isiliye unka faisala kabhi galat nahi hosaktha…' and then lifted her eyes again… and gave a soft and sweet smile to Shiv…
And Shiv thought to himself…proudly that …he found the perfect girl…who…is innocent…yet elegant… who is soft and timid… but joyfull…. And Who knows to respect elders… and gave a smile back to her…

And then both went back to eating… and when they finished… and then they left the restaurant….as Shiv had nothing to ask and Gauri was too nervous to even look at Shiv….they reached the steps outside the restaurant and waited for the car… And it was getting cold outside… and gauri… brought her hands close to her body and was hugging her body… as it was cold ....and her hair was swinging to the cold breeze… she was looking the other way to avoid shiv….but… Shiv saw her and it was amazing how beautiful she looked in the moonlight… he looked at her… And thinking to himself… Gauri you donot know how much I want to hug you and comfort you… this very moment....

' yeh hawayein… zulphomein teri… gum hojayein…
Jume nigahonse chahara tera…
Hotonse chule phir daman tera…
Apani panahomein… tuj ko bharein…
Meri aarazoon ko parishan karein….

Chodo bhi yein…dil lagi….
Khabonkein…yeh zindagi…
Dekho merin aakhomein…
Chahat ki deewanagi…

Mehaki umange…
Jagi tarange…
Dilmein mere….'

From: bas itna sa kab hain… movie…

Played softly in the background…

And when Gauri realized Shiv was looking at her… she removed her hands and tried to be normal…. And Shiv turned his gaze to the other side….

Then the Car was brought and the attendiee…opened the door for Gauri…and she got into the car next Shiv took the keys and got into the car after giving tip to him… and They started to Drive home…. And Shiv looked at Gauri…who was avoiding him…and trying to look out of the window….

Shiv put on the radio of the car and it started playing a song…

'dheere dheere se mere zindagi mein aana…
Dheere dheere se dil ko churana…'

Gauri looked at Shiv and Shiv looked at her….

'Hume tumse hain pyar kitna jane jana…
Tumse milkar tume hain batana….'

'Dheere Dheere se mere zindagime aana..
Dheere Dheere se dil ko churana…'

And shiv and Gauri could not take it anylonger… Gauri did not understand why she was getting attracted to shiv… why she was feeling this unusual feeling… She just lowered her eyes and looked away… and Shiv put his hand in his hair and combed it back… and smiled to himself…. Thinking of Gauri sitting beside him….

Then after that…there was some loud song…so Shiv switched the radio off…

Then they drove calmly…. It was quiet night…and the highway was also having few cars… and Shiv slowly lowered the window of the car to get the soft breeze… and Gauri's hair started.. waving to the breeze… and Shiv was trying hard to control himself from hugging her… and then Gauri started feeling cold… she folded her hands… but did not say anything… and Shiv noticed that and closed the windows… and it was calm again….

Gauri… moved her… hands and was trying to keep her saree neatly… when Shiv noticed the … clicking noise of her bangles… it was so nice to listen to that noise…they had some music in them…. He was going crazy… with all this….

Gauri from the corner of the eye… was looking at Shiv and did not know… why she wanted to look at him more… why she was feeling happy inside when she saw him smile…. And she slowly turned her face and started staring at him… she did not even realize she was looking at him for a while…. And Shiv gave a sweet smile…to her…

And then after a while she came back to senses and looked away… feeling uncomfortable…

Then they drove slowly… home… with both of their hearts racing… with Gauri confused of her new feelings and Shiv mesmerized by Gauri…

Just before few blocks… from gauri's house Shiv stopped the Car and looked at Gauri… and Gauri… felt a little afraid… and thinking why did shiv stop the car here…. And shiv looked at gauri….

Shiv… said.. 'Gauri… Aagar tum chaho… tho hum phir mil sakthe hain…' and Gauri… who was looking at him… lowered her eyes and gave a smile… which said… 'as you wish…' and Shiv understood that…and he said… 'Thankyou gauri..' and smiled at her… and Gauri looked at him… thinking.. how did he know…

And just looked at him curiously to find answers… for all the questions that were raising in her mind…. They looked at eachother…for a minute…and shiv looked away and Gauri also turned away… and shiv drove her back to the house… and stopped the car and came to open the door for gauri …but she opened the door and was standing out…and Shiv… came to her… and both for a moment did not know what to say…

Shiv said… 'Goodnight gauri..' and put his hand forward and smiled..… and gauri… looked at him… and said… 'Good night…' softly....but did not give her hand…so Shiv said… 'Hume Zindagi bhar saat rehna hain Gauri…' and forwarded his hand again… and Gauri… looked at him and her hand moved forward… automatically… and gave her hand into his…. Looking into those deep brown eyes…

The moment both their hands met… both felt a strange feeling creep in… and both smiled and removed their hands back… and Gauri… was confused… as why his eyes are mesmerizing her…

And then Shiv walked back to his car and before getting in…looked back and found Gauri..looking at him… innocently....(like a girl who is going to school for the first time.... has a feeling of becoming distant from her parents as they leave.... droping her off...) … he smiled and said… 'mein ghar jake phone karunga… Gauri…. Mera intazar karna…' and got into the car and drove from there… Gauri…just stood there… thinking of all that happened today…and then slowly entered home…after Shiv's car left…

She went in… and then went to Alok's room to check if he is waiting for her…and found him reading a book… she went and saw him and he asked her to sit with him…and then Gauri…went and sat near her father…and then… Alokji said… 'Beta… Shiv se milke acha laga..' and Gauri nodded…in a positive way… and Alokji said… 'Beta… tu hamesha apni dilki bat khulke nahi batati ho… mein tumare man ki bat jana chahatahu… Agar tume yeh rishta dilse pasand nahi hain… toh abhi waqt hain beta…lekin agar tum abhi nahi bataogi…toh badh mein… tume moka nahi milega… beta…' and gauri looked at her father…and said… 'Aisi koi bat nahi hain papa… mein is rishthe se kush hu… par… ajeebsa dar lagraha hain… pata nahi aage jake zindagi kasi hogi…' and she looked at her father… and Alokji said… 'beta… agar tumari maa hoti toh shayad tum aur khul ke bata sakti thi…aur who bhi tume sala dethi… lekin mein bhi kuch batna chahathahu beta…' 'har ladki isi darse guzar thi hain beta…. Par itna parishan hone ki zarurat nahi hain beta… jab tak mein hu…tume kuch nahi hone dunga… aur jab tumari shadi hojayegi… tab… tum jo vishwas mujh pe kar thi ho… wahi vishwas tum apne pati par bhi karogi… kuch waqt lagega beta… lekin dheere dheere tum dono mein…. Woh rishtha banjayega… ek bar jo rishta bangaya… phir… tum dono kabhi bhi door nahi reh pavoge… aur yehi shadi ka ardh hain beta… ek dusareka hojana… manse.. ekdusereko apnana…' he caught her hand and said… 'aur mein janta hu… meri beti… bahut achitarase usghar ko apna banalegi…' and smiled at her…and Gauri gave him a small smile … and then Alokji said… 'Tum… jake ab aram karo… mein bhi sojata hu…kal office bhito jana hain…' and Gauri said… 'goodnight …papa… sweet dreams…' and went from there… closing the door behind her… and went to her room… once she was in her room…she closed her door…and took out her night dress and went to get changed… all the while thinking… 'what is happening to me…?? Why… my heart starts racing the moment shiv touches me…?? Why does his smile make me blush…?? Why all this is happening to me…??' and then she came out dressed and came to bed… and… was looking at the phone… and then she walked to the balcony of her room and stood there with the breeze kissing her cheeks…giving her a tickling feeling… she was not willing to let her mind come to the conclusion but… she was waiting for shiv to call her… 'but…why is she waiting for his call…??'…

Shiv went home and parked his car then went in..all the while smiling to himself… and combing his hair with his hand…. And as soon as he entered the hall …he found mahen and nikhila were watching tv and Shiv felt that… they might be waiting to pull his leg…so he wanted to tip-toe and go to his room as soon as possible…

But, as soon as he was getting on to the stairs… Nikhila said… 'aagaye…beta…' and shiv said.. 'Yes… mom…' and came down to her… and Nikhila just glanced at him…and could see the joy in his eyes… and his smiling face told her everything… and she said… 'Bahut der hogayi beta… jake soja… kal bat karenge..' and shiv said.. 'thanks mom…' 'good night…'

And left from there…and Nikhila looked at mahen who was reading the paper again… and Nikhila hit her head with her hand and pulled the paper from his hand … and mahen said… 'Nikhila… subha nashthe par …paper nahi padne dethiho…' 'ab… rat kho …khane ke bad bhi… paper nahi padne dogi…kya..' with a little irritation and softness in his voice…. But Nikhila said.. 'Aap..pehle meri bat suniye..phir aap paper padiye..' and Nikhila without even waiting for mahens reply… told him.. how shiv looked happy after meeting gauri… and how happy and excited she is to see her son… like that… and mahen after listening to all this…. Looked at her and gave a smile and then said… 'ab.. mein paper pad saktha hu…' and nikhila a little irritated…. Gave the paper to him…and got up angrily from there…and mahen said… 'ab.. mein ne kya kiya…' and smiled to himself knowing that… nikhila was angry on him… and then he kept the paper there… and followed her to their room… and when they were in their room… he closed the door and came near nikhila who was standing… scolding mahen… under her breath and mahen took hold of her from behind and she immediately felt startled and said… 'koi aa jayega…' 'aapko sharam aani chahiye…is umar me yeh sab…' and mahen said… 'aapni biwi ko gale lagane keliye… umar kabse dekni pad rahi hain…' and they both smiled and nikhila hit him playfully and they both chatted about shiv for some time and then about other things about Shivs marriage and then went of to bed….

Shiv reached his room and got changed into his night dress… and then took the phone and called gauri…

As soon as the phone rang for the first time… gauri lifted the phone and waited for shiv to talk something… and shiv after a pause..said… 'Gauri…' and gauri… felt a chill run down her spine… she couldnot speak anything… when after a pause… shiv did not hear anything… he continued… 'Gauri… tum aaj bahut khub surat thi…' and Gauri started blushing holding the phone… his husky soft voice was making her weak …. Shiv then said… 'Gauri… mein yeh bat… kab se kehna chahathata…lekin keh nahi paya…'
And gauri and Shiv were holding the phone and not talking to eachother…but each thinking of the other… then Gauri said… 'goodnight…' and put the phone… and shiv knew she would be blushing now….he smiled and kept the phone and went to balcony…smiling… and stood there thinking about her… and all the days events…

Even Gauri was blushing…. And could not sleep…she stood in the balcony and was thinking of the days events and smiling and blushing… the more she thought …the more she blushed… but she was not having any clue…why all this was happening to her…

And in the background a soft song was playing… as both shiv and gauri…were thinking about each other and smiling…

'phela nasha…pehla gumar…
Naya pyar hain…naya intazar…
Karlun mein ab kahaan…
Eiy dile bekaraar…
Mere dile bekaraar…tuhi bata…

Udthahi phiru…in hawao mein kahi….
Yaan mein jhul jaoo…in ghataoomein kahi…

Udthahi phiru…in hawao mein kahi….
Yaan mein jhul jaoo…in ghataoomein kahi…

Ek kardoo aasamaa aur zamein….
Kaho yaaro… kya karoo…kya nahi….

phela nasha…pehla gumar…
Naya pyar hain…naya intazar…
Karlun mein ab kahaan…
Eiy dile bekaraar…
Mere dile bekaraar…tuhi bata…'

Its all blushing and Crimson Red cheeks and Coy Smiles in Shiv-Gauri Land..!!!!! 😳 ... Enjoy!!!
.......🥳🥳


Part 29 - 32 :

Next day… Nikhila talked to the pandit and asked for the muhurats for engagement and marriage…

And the engagement was fixed for 2 and half weeks later and marriage 2weeks after engagement… and Alokji felt tensed as how the preparations were going to go…but nikhila and mahen said… there would be no problem and they would do all the work together…if its ok with them…and Alokji was more than happy with their forwardness and felt happy for Gauri..who was getting such a nice home…

Then both Gauri and Shiv were informed about it…. They both blushed 😳 and their hearts raced thinking about their life together… 😊

And Days passed by… busy with gauri alok and nikhila going for shopping and sometimes nikhila and Gauri going for shopping… and sometimes shiv accompanied nikhila for shopping along with Gauri…and both had this unusual feeling cropping 😳 when ever they were to talk or when ever they were to select something together…

Gauri felt nervous when shiv was around… and for Shiv he felt like holding Gauri and just taking her away from there to a lonely place to sit and talk to her…and look at her… 😳

The engagement day arrived….

Shiv was getting ready at home… and Gauri was getting ready too… some of her friends from her college and some relatives of alok had come to attend the function… they all were getting her ready…

Gauri wearing a light orange lehenga… with elegant diamond jewellery adorned on her… and Shiv wearing a sherwani…

The engagement was at Shiv's house… so Gauri got ready and then Alokji and his near realtives…came along and they came to Nikhila's house… Nikhila and Mahen came to receive them down the steps and Nikhila as soon as she saw Gauri… she thought… 'Hai!! Kitni sundar lag rahi hain… meri nazar na lage…' 😛 and as soon as she came near her… Gauri bent to take her and mahens ashirwad but Nikhila lifted her before she could bend and hugged her and said… 'beta… tu.. meri beti hain….tume tho gale lagna chahiye..' and hugged her… 🤗 and gauri smiled heartfully at her and then Nikhila removed kajal from her eye with a finger and said… 'meri nazar na lage…' and put the kajal on her neck near her hair… and gauri… blushed … 😳 . And lowered her eyes… and everyone smiled and entered the house…and Nikhila brought Gauri and made her seated in the hall….and went to look after other things for the engagement…

Gauri…was feeling tensed… as she has not seen shiv yet…and what would he think about her… 😳 and how would he react… 😳 and was feeling nervous… and she lowered her eyes and looked at the flooring of the house… and at times slowly lifted her eyes to see the surroundings… and looked at the decoration and all and was medling with her fingers…entagling them and feeling completely nervous…. 😳

Shiv was getting ready and vivan and some of his friends were teasing him in the room… 😆 they came down saw Gauri… and went and pulled Shivs leg… 😆 as soon as Shiv came to know that Gauri has arrived he wanted to come down and see her… he blushed at his friends expense who were not giving him space to breathe…

He got ready and was coming down… was in the hallway… upstairs… he glanced around the living room and saw Gauri sitting with her chuniri over her head that was transparent… and with a bent head… he smiled to himself… 😉 😳 and looked at her from where he was standing… he was now not even concerned about his friends teasing him… he came down the stairs…and Nikhila came to him… and looked at him.. and smiled and took him to where mahen and alokji were standing with other guests … Shiv thought his mother would take him and make him sit beside Gauri but when she started taking him towards alokji and mahen his face fell off 😕 (so sad..) all the glow in his eyes came down… Nikhila told him to take ashirwad… and Shiv bent to take ashirwad and Alokji took hold of him before he bent and hugged him… and all smiled and talked… 😊

But… both Gauri and Shiv were wanting to be with one another… and see eachother… and their hearts were racing… 😳

Gauri could feel Shiv's eyes on her…. She was even more nervous now….. 😳 She wanted to lift her eyes and look at Shiv... how he might be looking…. But she still was confused of her sudden feelings towards shiv… 😆

Then, Gauri was lifting her eyes slowly to look at shiv…. And Shiv was talking to all the guests and going around and turning around to look at her… from time to time…

Do Dill Mile Rahe Hain
Magar Chupke Chupke
Do Dil Mile Rahe Hain
Magar Chupke Chupke
Sabko Ho Rahi Hai
Haan Sabko Ho Rahi Hai
Khabar Chupke Chupke
Do Dil Mile Rahe Hain
Magar Chupke Chupke

Saanson Mein Badi Bekaraari
Aankhon Mein Kai Rat Jage
Kahin Kabhi Lag Jaaye Dil To
Kahin Phir Dil Na Lage
Apne Dil Mein Zara Thaam Loon
Jaadu Ka Main Isay Naam Doon
Jaadu Kar Raha
Jaadu Kar Raha Hai Asar Chupke Chupke

Do Dil Mile Rahe Hain
Magar Chupke Chupke

Aise Bhole Bankar Hai Baithe
Jaise Koi Baat Nahin
Sab Kuchh Nazar Aa Raha Hai
Din Hai Ye Raat Nahin
Kya Hai Kuchh Bhi Nahin Hai Agar
Honthon Pe Hai Khaamoshi Magar
Baatein Kar Rahi Hain
Baatein Kar Rahi Hain Nazar Chupke Chupke

Do Dil Mile Rahe Hain
Magar Chupke Chupke

Kahin Aag Lagne Se Pehle
Uthta Hai Aisa Dhuaan
Jaisa Hai Idhar Ka Nazaara
Vaisa Hi Udhar Ka Samaa
Dil Mein Kaisi Kasak Si Jagi
Dono jaanib Barabar Lagi
Dekho To Idhar Se
Dekho To Idhar Se Udhar Chupke Chupke

Do Dil Mile Rahe Hain
Magar Chupke Chupke
Sabko Ho Rahi Hai
Haan Sabko Ho Rahi Hai
Khabar Chupke Chupke
Do Dil Mile Rahe Hain
Magar Chupke Chupke


Then Nikhila came to mahen and Alokji and asked them to start for the 'mami ki rasam' and then she went and brought shiv near gauri and made them sit side by side…. Shiv was most delighted… 😆 😳 . And Gauri most nervous…. Her fingers were growing cold due to anticipation…. 😳

Shiv kept looking at Gauri… and Gauri for a moment lifted her eyes and looked at him and when she saw that he was staring at her…she quickly lowered her eyes… and blushed making her cheeks go red… and Shiv smiled at her…. And then nihkila brought the rings and first asked Shiv to put the ring and gauri lifted her hand to place the ring and Shiv was placing the ring… when he touched her skin… he found her hands were cold… and then Gauri was given the ring to place it on shivs finger… and Gauris hands were becoming cold with excitement… 😳 and gauri put the ring on Shivs finger…when Gauris cold fingers touched the warm skin of Shiv… they just lifted their eyes from the Ring and looked into each others eyes… 😳 for few seconds… when Gauri blushed and lowered her eyes again…. 😳 then all of them put rose petals on them and both Shiv and Gauri blushed at eachother with rose petals falling on them…. And both admired each other…and gauri lowered her eyes in shyness… everyone… around were praising the pair…

And Nikhila and Mahen looked at eachother and were feeling so happy… 😊 . Alokji had a tears of joy in his eyes… he was wiping his tears…and Mahen consoled him… and all were happy… 😊 .

Shiv looked at the ring on Gauri's finger and felt happy…that Gauri was his… 👏

Then every one had the lunch and after that everyone left for their…home…

Every one were having lunch …. Except Gauri and Shiv …. Who were sitting beside eachother…. All of them who were around them few minutes ago…have now left them alone and enjoying their food… and talking to one another…but 2 hearts were beating hard simultaneously… 😳 . Gauri was twisting her fingers in her hand…all nervous and Shiv's heart was racing seeing Gauri sitting beside him all blushing… 😳

This was the moment he was waiting for… Gauri was his… forever….
He tried to talk but when he saw Gauri all nervous… he did not want to make her more nervous by talking…. 😳

And then most of the guests left and it was only family members having sweet talks… and now everyone were sitting in the living room with gauri and shiv sitting side by side and all the members around them and chatting about marriage… and dresses and other things…

Vivan who was sitting on the edge of the sofa beside shiv and listening to others talking just triped a little and fell on Shiv making shiv fall on gauri… 😉 and Gauri was about to fall down from the sofa…when Shiv holded her…😲 one arm and with the other hand her waist and made her sit upstraight…. And Gauri sat up straight… and slowly lifted her eyes and looked at Shiv…. Shiv could see in her eyes…some kind of anxiety …. 😳

That's when he came to understanding… that his hands were still holding her… he immediately removed his hands and gave a sweet tight smile and looked other way… and blushed a little….

This was noticed by Nikhila and she knew they were feeling akward with each other…. And smiled… 😳 .

And after some more conversations… everyone started to leave and then it was turn of Alokji and Gauri to leave for the day….

All the while shiv and Gauri did not talk anything… they were just glancing at eachother….

Alokji said 'Gauri beta chelen….' And Alokji took leave from mahen and nikhila and then Gauri was about to get up when shiv caught her hand… and gauri looked at him…. He looked at her….. and Gauri could see… that shiv did not like the idea of her leaving… Gauri looked at him… and questioned herself… ' Shiv…. Why do even I not want to go from here….??' 😕 And then looking at her …shiv could feel her intense eyes…and slowly left her hand…. Shiv thought to himself…. 'Gauri Yeh judai bas kuch pal keliye hain… hum kuch hi dino mein… eksath honge…' 😊

Mujhse Juda Hokar Tumhe Door Jaana Hai
Palbhar Ki Judaai Phir Laut Aana Hai
Saathiya - Sang Rahega Tera Pyar
Saathiya - Rang Layega Intezaar..!

Tumse Juda Hokar Mujhe Door Jaana Hai
Palbhar Ki Judaai Phir Laut Aana Hai
Saathiya - Sang Rahega Tera Pyar
Saathiya - Rang Layega Intezaar..!

Main Hoon Teri Sajni Saajan Hai Tu Mera
Tu Baandh Ke Aaya Mere Pyar Ka Sehra
Chehre Se Ab Tere Hatti Nahin Ankhiyan
Tera Naam Le - Lekar Chhede Mujhe Sakhiyan
Sakhiyon Se Ab Mujhko Peechha Chhudana Hai
Palbhar Ki Judaai Phir Laut Aana Hai
Saathiya - Sang Rahega Tera Pyar
Saathiya - Rang Layega Intezaar..!

Mere Tasavvur Mein Tum Roz Aati Ho
Chupke Se Tum Aakar Mera Ghar Sajati Ho
Sajni Bada Pyara Yeh Roop Hai Tera
Gajre Ki Khushboo Se Mehka Hai Ghar Mera
Aankhon Se Ab Teri Kajal Churana Hai
Palbhar Ki Judaai Phir Laut Aana Hai
Saathiya - Sang Rahega Tera Pyar
Saathiya - Rang Layega Intezaar..!


Gauri and Shiv looked at eachother before leaving… Shiv did not want Gauri to leave from there… but knew that she would be back here for ever soon… which satisfied him… 😊 and Gauri… did not know why she did not want to leave Shiv and go home… 😕 . She thought… may be this is what marriage brings…. And she thought may be this is the starting of the bonding that her father was talking about… 😊

Shiv and Mahen and Nikhila came till the car to send them… and stood there with a tight smile while Gauri took nikhila and mahen ashirwad and nikhila said… 'Ab.. jaldi aaja beti…. shiv ko aur is ghar ko samalne keliye…' and kissed gauris forehead…. This brought… little tears in everyones eyes…and everyone tried to hide their tears and smile… and Gauri sat in the car along with Alokji and went home without looking at shiv… Shiv could sense the sadness in Gauri's eyes , he too was sad but knew this is for Good.

Shiv went to his room right after they left and Mahen turned to find shiv and when he could not..he called for him… 'Shiv… beta..' and Nikhila said with her signals that… don't call him.. let him be alone…

And later nikhila expalained mahen…. How much both were missing eachother…and how both were feeling akward to talk…. And how eager shiv is for Gauri…. To be in this house…

Gauri reached her home and Alokji said her to take rest as she might be tired by now… and Gauri nodded and went to her room… closing the door behind her….

And sat on her bed thinking… 'Why is this happening to me…??' 'why I feel like crying… ??' 'why is my heart heaving…??' 'why am I missing shiv…??' that's it finally it came out… 'why am I missing shiv..??' 'I have just met him a few times… every time I meet him… my heart beat races, my hands go cold…my legs start to shiver…. But still when I start to leave from him…I don't feel like going away from him…' does a marriage bring such a bond b/w two people….

She was wondering… when the phone rang…
'Hello'
Pause….
'Gauri…' and Gauri's heart skip a beat… it was shiv
Pause…
'Gauri…. Tum aaj bahut hi kubhsurat thi…. Man kiya galese lagalu…' and shiv felt like he blurted out… and paused… without speaking any further… and Gauri as soon as she listened to that… she felt sweat beads form on her face and she felt her body become warm… and sweat forming in her feet…

And after a pause…

Shiv said… 'gauri shayad mein ne kuch zada hi keh diya… badmein bath karunga… abhi rakhtha hu…' and Gauri in the end felt bad that she did not talk anything… and might be Shiv might get angry… so she said…
'Ji… aisi bath nahi hain…'
'Aap mujse koi bhi bat kar sakthe hain… mujhe kabhi bhi bura nahi lagega…' saying this she paused…

And listening to this Shiv had a smile on his face…

And Shiv said… 'Thankyou gauri…' and said.. 'kya tum mujse koi bhi bat nahi karna chahathi…. ??' 'agar tum mujhe kuch bhi batao…mujhe bhi bura nahi lagega…' and he paused…

Gauri was dumb struck… she did not know what to speak to him…
She slowly said… 'Ji … mein… woh… mein kya bat karu….' And paused…

And Shiv said… 'kuch bhi…' and Gauri felt nervous… she said… 'mere dost keh thethe ki yeh shadi ke phele ki samay bahut hi pyara hota hain….' 'ab… samaj mein aaa raha hain…who aise kyun keh rahe the…' …… 'mujhe… yeh pal hamesha yad rahein ge…' 'mujhe pehli bar aisa laga….' And she paused as she did not want to say what she was about to say…

Shiv said… 'kaisa laga Gauri…' and Gauri felt nervous again… 'woh… woh… mein… mein…' 'ji… who… who…..' and Shiv could see the nervousness in her voice….. And then said…. 'agar tume abhi nahi batana hain…. Toh badmein batana….'

Mein ek bath kahu Gauri…. And Gauri said… in a low nervous voice …. 'Ji….' and Shiv continued…. 'tumara muskurahat….' 'tumara muskurahat mujhe bahut pasand hain Gauri….' 'tum aise hi hamesha muskhurathe hi rehna….' and paused… when he heard clicking of the bangles on Gauri's hand… in the phone…. And understood Gauri was blushing….

and Shiv felt a shiver in him…and a longing to touch those bangles.. and a smile escaped his lips… and then he said… 'Gauri… mein tume phir se bad mein phone karunga…' and gauri said… 'ji…' and Shiv said.. 'Bye..' and kept the phone and gauri giggled and kept the phone… both then went and changed their dresses…and came back and stood in the balcony… taking in the cool breeze to make themselves... calm down… and then smiled at the way things were turning b/w them…

And then the next few days were really busy for both shiv and gauri and mahen and nikhila and alok… every one were busy for the wedding from picking the dresses … to getting the lights done for the wedding… and also… the catering…and all the things… there was lot of things going on…invitation cards had to be sent… and everything was getting arranged… shiv was getting new projects to start…so he was busy at office too… and he wanted to wrap up most of the things so that he would get more time after marriage… so he was working long hours… and reaching home late and also going to office early… with mahen not being around the work was becoming even more hectic….

Finally the wedding day was coming…

Both Shiv and Gauri were done 'haldi ki rasam…' and then Shiv was told to stay back home for the rest of the days… and Gauri was enjoying all the cermonys… and nikhila came over to take care of all the ladies cermonies… and took care of gauri and all the things around… she was having a very good time… and gauri was more than willing for nikhila to come and help her with things…

Finally the day of marriage came….

Gauri was made ready and she was looking adorable in her magenta color bridal dress and her hair was made into a bun….with flowers and all… everyone who saw her said… 'kitini pyar li lagrahi hain.. dulhan…' 'yahein… meri nazar na lagein..' and gauris close friends said.. 'aaj tho dhula gaya kamse…' and gauri blushed at every ones comments…

Shiv got ready and came on the horse to gauris house… and he was looking handsome and was every girls dream come ture man….

Nikhila was busy shuttiling b/w shiv and gauri taking care of things from both sides… every one said… 'Aap tho… dhulake maa hain… aapko tho… hath pein hath rak kar beit na chahin yein…' and nikhila said… 'yein meri bahu nahi …beti hain…. Hum dono ka rishtha aapko samaj nahi ayega… kyun beta…' looking at gauri in the mirror… and Gauri gave a big smile….

and Shiv was sitting in the mandap with his sehra… and Gauri was brought to the mandap… with nikhila by her side… bringing her down…. She came slowly and sat beside Shiv and then after a while shiv was told to put his sehra up… and Shiv looked at Gauri… and Shiv couldnot take his eyes off… he had nowords to describe the beauty sitting beside him…. He wondered how one could be so beautiful….

Bole Choodhiyan, Bole Kangna
Haye Maein Ho Gaya, Tera Saajna
Tere Bin Jiya, Naiyo Lag Da, Maein Te Marjaawaan
Le Jaa Le Jaa, Soniye Le Jaa Le Jaa
Dil Le Jaa Le Jaa, Ho...

Haye Haye Maein Marjaawaan
Marjaawaan Tere Bin
Ab To Meri Raatein
Kat Ti Taare Gin Gin
Bas Tujhko Pukaara Kare,
Meri Bindiya Ishaara Kare
Hoye, Lashkaara Lashkaara
Teri Bindiya Ka Lashkaara
Aise Chamke Jaise Chamke
Chaand Ke Paas Sitaara

………….
……………

Bole Choodhiyan, Bole Kangna
Haye Maein Ho Gaya, Tera Saajna
Tere Bin Jiya, Naiyo Lag Da, Maein Te Marjaawaan
Le Jaa Le Jaa, Soniye Le Jaa Le Jaa
Dil Le Jaa Le Jaa, Ho...

(Gauri thinking…)
Apni Maang Suhaagan Ho,
Sang Hamesha Saajan Ho
Aake Meri Duniya Mein
Vaapas Na Jaana
Sehra Baandhke Maahi Tu
Mere Ghar Aana


(Shiv thinking….)
Oye Soni Kiti Soni
Aaj Tu Lagdi Ve
Bas Mere Saath Yeh Jodi
Teri Sajdi Ve
Roop Aisa Suhaana Tera,
Chaand Bhi Hai Deewana Tera……

Was going in the background….

Shiv was asked to fill Gauri's maang…with sindoor and Shiv… put the sindoor in Gauri's maang looking at her lovingly and then he put the magalsutra in her neck… and felt happy as if he has achieved everthing in life…. And felt like he has owned Gauri now… and now no one could divide them…

Gauri all the while was keeping her eyes downcast with shyness, nervousness all coming over her at a time…

The guests gave their gifts and ashirwad to the bride and the groom and then the marriage customs went by happily and the bidayee was tough on Gauri… she cried a lot holding her father… and Shiv watched her feeling sad… Alokji told shiv and his family to take care of Gauri and that she is a very emotional girl…. Shiv assured that gauri was his now and he would always keep her happy…

Then Gauri got into the bridal car …she was still crying… and Shiv got into the car after a while and saw Gauri crying… so, he just put his hand on hers…. to give comfort to her…. And gauri couldnot take it any longer and just turned her face to shivs shoulder… touched her fore head to his dress and cried for few minutes…not even knowing…who she was holding on to…Shiv took hold of her hands and holded it tightly…..

When gauri realized it was shiv… after a while… she came back to her senses and just composed herself and moved a little farther from shiv…and pulled her hand….from shivs hand… slowly….

But shiv took hold of her left hand with his right hand and holded it tightly…. And gauri did not protest at this…. Shiv felt happy….And then the car started and slowly they came to Shiv's house and were taken arti by nikhila and then Gauri came in stepping her right foot first…in the kukum thali….

And then she was taken to Shivs room and nikhila…. Came in removed all her garlands slowly from her neck … and made her comfortable on the bed…. she could feel gauri's nervousness… and remembered her marriage day…how nervous she was…to meet mahen…. She smiled at gauri and then put Gauris clothes that were sent with her… in the cupboard… and checked all the things in the room and then left the room…

Gauri… was sitting in the room… with her gungat over her face and entangled her fingers and entwiling them with nervous ness… her heart was racing..she could feel her heartbeat loud….she did not know what to expect and what not to expect…. She couldnot speak to anyone about it… nor had she ever talked about such things to friends… Gauri slowly lifted her eyes and looked around the room… it was a beautiful room… with the bed in one side… a sofa set on a side and closed wardrobe and a big framed picture of shiv in a suite… all the room was filled with flower bokeys and even the walls were decorated with fresh flowers… and there was a window behind the bed and a door to the balcony beside the bed…. There were fruits and sweets placed on the side table near the bed… the bed where she was sitting also was decorated with flower garlands from top and the bed was decorated with rose petals… and the room had a very nice fragnance all over…. She was looking around the room admiring…it when she looked at a picture on the other side table…beside the bed… there was a picture of Gauri… from her engagement framed and kept on the table… she looked at it and felt happy inside her…the room was having dim lighting all over the room… there was a study table with a laptop on it… and there was a bookself with many books and files kept….

Shiv was sitting down stairs…and was feeling happy that finally gauri was in his house for ever…. Although he was giving small smile…everyone could see the beaming happiness from his face…

After a while Nikhila came to Shiv and said… 'beta… yeh bate toh hoti hi rahein gi… upar Gauri tumara intazar kar rahin hain….tume ab apne kamremein jana chahiyein…' and Shiv nodded and got up… and slowly walked up the stairs…. And his heart was pounding… in his ears… with excitement…

Shiv slowly came to his room opend the door and stepped in to see the room is decorated beautifully with flowers and dim lights here and there… and his bed was beautifully decorated with flowers… and it was creating a romantic atmosphere…which was surely affecting him…

The moment there was a sound of opening the door…gauri lowered her eyes and fixed herself up straight…

Shiv then closed the door behind him and locked it… for the first time today…. It was odd… for him coming into his own room…. As soon as he bolted the door… Gauri… felt a shiver in her….

The room now had no noice except for his foot steps….
he stepped slowly towards the bed and came and sat infront of Gauri…
Both of them nervous…

Aur aahista kijiye baatein, dhadakane koi sun raha hoga - 2
Labj girane na paaye honton se, waqt ke haath inako chun lenge
Kaan rakhate hain ye darodiva, raaj ki saari baat sun lenge
Aur aahista kijiye baatein

Aise bolo ki dil ka afasaana, dil sune aur nigaah doharaaye - 2
Apane chaaro taraf ki ye duniya
Saans ka shor bhi na sun paaye, na sun paaye
Aur aahista kijiye baatein, dhadakane koi sun raha hoga
Labj girane na paaye hoton se, waqt ke haath inako chun lenge
Kaan rakhate hain ye darodiva, raaj ki saari baat sun lenge
Aur aahista kijiye batein...

Aayiye band karale darwaaje, raat sapane chura na le jaaye - 2
Koi jhonka hawa ka aawara, dil ki baaton ko uda na le jaye, na le jaye
Aur aahista kijiye baatein, dhadakane koi sun raha hoga
Labj girane na paaye hoton se, waqt ke haath inako chun lenge
Kaan rakhate hain ye darodiva, raaj ki saari baat sun lenge
Aur aahista kijiye baatein

Aaj itane karib aa jaao , duriyon ka kahi nishaan na rahe - 2
Aise ek dusare me gum ho jayen, faasala koi darmiya na rah jaye, na rah jaye
Aur aahista kijiye baatein, dhadakane koi sun raha hoga
Labj girane na paaye hoton se, waqt ke haath inako chun lenge
Kaan rakhate hain ye darodiva, raaj ki saari baat sun lenge

Playing in the back ground with very soft music…

Shiv sat there for few minutes looked at gauri..who was sitting there lowering her eyes… he smiled to himself…

Shiv slowly lifted the gungat… and Gauri was looking like a no-spot moon… with lowered eyes… Shiv felt like looking at her like that for ever…

Shiv looked at her admired every part of her face…
Gauri was feeling more nervous…and clutching her hands entangled in eachother tightly… trying to control her heart and console herself…

The silence in the room was making both of them even more nervous…

Shiv slowly said… 'Gauri… tum bahut kubh surat lagrahe ho…' and gauri did not respond… she was blushing so much… she couldnot lift her eyes…even to meet shiv's…

He slowly took hold of Gauri's hand into his… and the moment he did that… the bangles in her hand clicked… and in the silent room… the sound of bangles was music to his ears… he slowly took gauris hand.. and in his left hand… Gauris hands were sweating… and her hands were cold… shiv could feel that… he brought his other hand and touched the bangles making more music… and said… 'Gauri… tumare hatomein kangan ka kanak mujhe bahut pasand hain….kya tum mere liye… inhein humesha pehnogi…' and Gauri slowly nodded her head…. in positive way without lifting her head.…. And Shiv smiled….

And Shiv said… 'Mein kitne dinosein… tume is kamremein dekhnekeliye… tadap rahata…gauri… aaj jake mera yeh kab pura huwa hain…' and smiled still holding her hand…

He then left her hand and brought his two hands to Gauri's face… both shiv and gauris heart was racing…. He slowly lifted her face with his hands on her cheeks… and when Shiv put his hands on Gauris cheeks… both had a streak pass through their spine… shiv then said… 'Gauri….meri taraf dekho…'with a soft husky voice… and Gauri slowly lifted her eyes… and looked at shiv…. Shiv and gauri looked at each other… both eyes displayed eagerness to come close… and Gauri couldnot take it anylonger and lowered her eyes…. And blushed with her cheeks turning red…and shiv smiled removing his hands slowly from her cheeks…

Then, both of them were having this awkward silence… with Shiv thinking…. how do I to start a conversation…so that Gauri relaxes and even I have to realx .. and huffed out some air…and then it occurred to him …that they could share some childhood memories first … so he went to his cupboard … and started searching for albums….of his childhood… and Gauri wondered why Shiv suddenly got up and went to cupboard and what is he searching….

Shiv found 3 albums and brought them along with him and walked to the bed… and Gauri was sitting there with eyes lowered…. Shiv sat down beside her… and looked at her… and smiled and then said… 'Gauri… mein apni bachpan ki kuch tasveerein dikhana chahatahu…' to this Gauri lifted her head… and looked at him… and smiled…a little…

Shiv opened the album and Started showing the pictures and saying when a picture was taken and how some pictures were funny… he kept looking at Gauris reaction…. And felt happy when she smiled and took keen intrest in what he was saying….

Shiv while showing the pictures tried his level best to come close to Gauri…but when ever he touched her she just blushed and slowly withdrew herself…. He tried touching her hand slowly …and she blushed and slowly slipped her hand away…. Both having their hearts racing…. Both thinking…. What will happen next….Each expecting the other to come more closer to them…. Each thinking how the night is going to go by….

Then, after a while…. Shiv finished showing Gauri the albums and Gauri was feeling sleepy….but trying not to sleep….. and Shiv slowly got up and took the albums to keep them back in the cupboard… and while placing was thinking 'how do I start another conversation now…. How are things going to move now….?'

Gauri was so tired from all the things…. That she was really feeling sleepy but due to anxiety and akwardness she was not able to say this to shiv….. But when shiv went to keep the albums….. Gauri just sat there and fell a sleep with her hands on her raised…. Legs and her chin on her hands….and she dozed of to sleep…..

When Shiv came out of his thinking and kept the album and came…. He found Gauri sleeping….

He sighed…. And felt a little sad…but when he looked at Gauri…her innocent face made him…. Smile and he slowly sat down beside her looking at her admiring her…. And then smiled at her and then…. Slowly with one finger touched Gauri's cheek hesitating…. And Gauri who was in deep sleep turned her face to the other side….. And slept….. To this Shiv smiled and did not know what to do now….. He was sitting and looking at her…. Fondly…when Gauri all of a sudden jerked in sleep and sat up straight….. And looked around the room…. And when her eyes met Shivs….. She stoped and looked at him… for a second fondly… and then came back out of her trance and lowered her eyes…. And said in a very sweet and low voice…. 'Mujhe maff kar dijiye…..who mujhe kab ankh lgayi pata hi nahi chela….' and to this Shiv smiled and said… 'Gauri…. Mein janta hu…tum takh gayi hogi…. Tum sojao….. Aur mein bhi kafi tak gaya hu….' and Gauri looked at him guiltily and Shiv smiled back assuring her which said… 'don't worry….' and then gestured Gauri to sleep…. And she without saying another word…. Slept on bed….. Closing her eyes and folding her arms under her face and bringing her legs forward and near to her stomach……

Shiv slowly put a blanket over her…. And then slowly went to the balcony opened the window and felt the fresh air rush into the room…. And then slowly walked back to the bed…. And lifted the blanket and got in and facing Gauri….he closed his eyes…..

In the middle of the night…. Gauri…. Was feeling…. Cold due to open windows…. So she was feeling uncomfortable to sleep…. And was tilting in sleep…. And she slowly moved and snuggled near shiv who was now sleeping side ways facing gauri….

Gauri…. When she felt warmth around her…. Lifted her hand and took hold of it tightly…. And went of to sleep…. Which removed the creases formed on Gauris face due to her disturbed sleep….

Shiv was in sound sleep now and did not know when Gauri snuggled near him…. And he just put his arm around gauri….. When he moved a little in sleep….


The Night slowly melted and the morning fog was setting in ….in the sky… and still Shiv Gauri were snuggled into each others arms…..

Shiv tried to twrill in his sleep…. And felt some one was holding his shirt…tightly and tried harder to turn but couldnot turn he opened his eyes in irritation ….. Only to see…. Gauri clutching shivs shirt…. Tightly with her hand…..

Shiv couldnot believe it for a minute… when he took in the surroundings…. And then looked back at gauri….. He looked at her curiously and understood she is deep in sleep…. And Shiv just moved a little closer and gauri again feeling the warmth moved closer and hugged him…. Shiv just kept looking at Gauri and feeling her so close was making his heart skip beats…. She looked adorable and angelic…was all he could think on looking at Gauri….

Shiv smiled to himself and the deep sleep in which he was ….was gone now…

The sun started rising in the sky….. And slowly the early morning rays fell in their room…. And Gauri slowly turned in the sleep…. While she was turning…. Her bangles got stuck in Shivs shirt threads…..

Feeling some strength not allowing her to turn… she opened her eyes…..

As soon as Gauri tried to turn in sleep…Shiv closed his eyes and acted as if he was sleeping…

Gauri…now opened her eyes…and looked to find her self in Shiv's arms and she tried to immediately get up but her bangle was pulling a thread….of Shivs shirt….. So she slowly…bent over Shiv…. And tried to remove the thread without waking up shiv…. As she felt… he looked very cute and handsome when he is sleeping….

When she successfully removed the thread…she was about to get up and get down from the bed…. When she felt someone holding her hand…. And She shyed….. knowing who would it be …..She tried to release her hand….but shiv was not letting it go…..

Gauri…after 2 tries gaveup and slowly…said… 'Who…. Puja ka samay ho raha hain…. Humein tayar ho na hain….' and Shiv when he listened to it…slowly released her hand….

And Gauri as soon as her hand was released she just ran into the bathroom.
And Shiv put his hands behind his head and smiled at himself…. And thought…. 'Kab banogi tum meri Gauri….' 'Mujh se ab intazar nahi hota….'
