The Ranveer/ Raashi & Rano relationship had me thinking, I am not liking the track where it is showing that as Ranveer has now fallen for Rano he has again started misbehaving with Raashi, the person who taught him the meaning of 'love'…but then I wondered what would such a 'relationship' be like in real life….I don't know anyone personally having such relationship, so this story of mine is again figment of my imagination. In this story I have not put too many characters as I will like to focus on the 'central characters' more, their feelings and their difficulties of the situation.

Anokha Rishta
Kane Kane Sudhu Ekbar bolo
Tumi je amaar
Ogo Tumi je amaar
(In my ears just tell me once that you are mine, you are mine)
(Sorry friends I could not find any appropriate hindi song so used a famous Bengali Film song sung by Geeta Dutt)
Bani disconnected the line, she smiled, yes it is a good news at last….her elder sister is finally getting married. Pia was 5 years older than her and her parents were searching a match for her. Nothing seemed to be working, horoscope not matching. Pia was mangalik, so even if she was chosen at the time of matching horoscope she got rejected. It was turning out to be too painful for all of them. Bani felt the pain her parents and Pia underwent, moreover her friends were getting married one by one making the pain even greater.
Today Bani could feel the joy in her mother's voice, the boy works in Mumbai as a stores manager of a big jewelry shop, the rishta has been approved by Buaji too, infact buaji had gone to the store personally to speak to the boy. It doesn't matter if Pia is mangalik they don't believe in such things, paas ke gao ke rehne wala hai, lekin hai bahut modern minded….Yes Buaji's has also approved. That is also very important. Bani lies on her hostel bed….her father with his brothers live in a village in Maharastra. She has four uncles and they were all settled in the village doing various business. There main source of income was of course of land. They had quite a bit of it….it was looked after their father being the eldest son. Buaji was the eldest, even elder than her father, and had the strongest say in their household. Buaji was unmarried. Dadaji worked with the Walia's in Mumbai as their Estate Manager, looking after their house and their day to day needs….he stayed in the staff quarter of the Walia Mansion. He was not keeping well, so dadiji had sent buaji there to look after him, Buaji was about 17/18, just about marriageable age…the plan was to look after the father and find a groom too. Buaji became close to the malkin of the haveli and soon became her right hand…the malkin was pregnant with her 2nd child 8/9 years after the birth of her first…she used to remain unwell and Buaji used to take care of her day to day needs, give her company, look after her daughter etc. Malkin died after giving birth to her son. Buaji stayed back, looking after the children. She does visit her family from time to time bringing presents, respected by her employers and it was with her money that the brothers have started their business, modernized their farming machinery. She asked them to be self reliant. Nothing happens in their house without her consent.
Bani's mobile vibrated again….
Ha Pushkar….
Bani kaha ho tum….
Room me, kiyu
Kiyu keya …we were supposed to meet at the library remember and now I am here for last 15 minutes without your sight…what is the matter theek toh ho na….
Oh gosh Pushkar I am so sorry, I will be there within few minutes…I have a good news to give you…
What, you told your family about us…
No, not yet, but Pia di's marriage has been fixed….you understand…
Yeah Bani I understand, Pushkar sounded excited, now we can….
Yes Pushkar…yes….

Jai Walia looked down as the Walia Industries plane landed at Mumbai Airport…the city was looking beautiful from the top…in the darkness of night, hiding the ugliness of the morning, but it was good to be back home….home….well at least the place where he was born and brought up…He looked at his watch it was about 1030 in the evening, well Friday evening so Roshni must be dressing to go out for a party or something. He opened his purse and looked at her picture…yes she has changed a little over these 12 years, still has the enthusiasm to party as she used to do 12 years back….same energy level…breezed in and out of the house as same as before…infact if she had taken her corporate career seriously, she could have struck many more successful deals, not that she doesn't help him, she does, very sharp but inconsistent and moody…a free spirit, he kissed the picture and put the purse into his pocket and got ready to disembark.
+++
An hour later, he got down from his car at the portico of his house….looked up, yes she is there, standing and waiting for him….so many years have passed, he has grown up taken over his father's business, has won many awards as an entrepreneur but this practice has not changed, whatever time of the day it might be, the lady will be standing there to greet him…he climbs up the stairs quickly and touches her feet, kaise ho ma, he asks, she kisses him on the forehead…mai theek hu, tu bata….
Successful, he puts an arm around her shoulders and walk inside the house…
Yeh hui na baath…mujhe patah tha……Tu kuch khayega munna,………..
nehi ma plane me khana kha liya tha…Roshni kab nikli…
Kuch der pehle, tu bhi niklega…..
Nehi thak gaya hu, mai sone chala....good night ma
......good night beta...
Jai Walia walks into his bedroom, it is the best room of the house, it belonged to his parents, he opened his jacket, threw it on the bed, picked up his night dress…his eyes fell on his photograph with his mother, the mother he never knew but who gave him birth, she died after few days after he was born, the woman who brought him up is his dai ma, because of him, she gave up her life and concentrated in bringing up his sister and him, for him she was his mother….Jai went into the bathroom to change.
+++
It was towards the morning, he reached out and found the figure lying next to him, he pulled her towards him and kissed her hard on her lips, good morning sweetheart…he whispered
Good morning, Roshni barely replied….Jai started making love to her, Roshni reluctantly responded and went back to sleep as soon as it was over…..Jai returned to his side….sighed…lately she has become so mechanical, he thought, or is it only her or him too, he wondered…he took a deep breath and got up…picked up his ipod from his bedside table, admired his and Roshni's wedding picture for a second and left for his gym.
+++
Jai Walia sits down for his breakfast, if the weather permits, it is usually on the terrace next to his bedroom, Roshni comes out and join…still in her night clothes, looking sleepy but breakfast is one meal Jai insisted on having together….Dai ma, followed by servants carrying trays come and joins….
Munna…
Ji, he barely glances up from the newspaper….
Ek khush khabari hai…
He looks up….
Pia ka shaadi theek ho gaya…
He smiles…yeh toh bahut achha huwa ma….
Itna bhi keya jaldi thi, Dai Ma, Roshni says…
Jaldi tha beta, gao hai, 26 ki hone ko hai, sabhi friends ka shaadi ho gaya....abhi nehi hota toh akeli par jati...Jai nods...Roshni hears..
Kab hai shaadi ma....
3 din baad...waise mai bol rahi thi ki mai aajhi nikal jayungi...bahut kaam baki hai, Kiran bol rahi thi itna jaldi sab theek ho gaya... agar mai ajayu toh...
Itna jaldi Dai Ma...
Iss season ka last date haina,isiliye waise bhi ladke wale wait nehi karna chahate, ...Munna tera janam din hai 4 din baad, iss saal tumlog apna arrangement kar lena...
Oh ha Jai, mai toh bhul hi gayi thi tumhara janam din a rahe hai...gosh Jai you are getting old, 38 ....
Not only me Roshni, you too darling, remember we are of the same age....
Jai how mean subah subah tumne mujhe yaad dila diya, I don't want to get old…
Tit for Tat….
Dai Ma waits patiently for them to finish their banter…….
Beta, mai bol rahi thi….
Dai ma please do not start that topic again, we don't want any children aap aap phirse Jai ka kan math bhariye…every year I have to go through the same thing, umar ho rahe hai abhi tak koi bachcha nehi huwa….
Beta maine aisa toh nehi kaha….
Abhi nehi kaha lekin kahengi, every year you say the same thing to Jai, don't you think I know, lekin I don't want children, if Jai wants, he can adopt...I will not object...
Roshni, what is your problem, Jai threw the newspaper, Ma has not said anything of that kind, tumhe kabhi kabhi keya ho jata hai…
She hasn't but she will, you can adopt Jai, I have given you my permission…
You know Roshni, you get on my nerves at times, the topic of children did not come up, you don't want, I can't force you to have one…I don't want an unwilling mother for my child….even if I adopt you will be an reluctant mother …so keya faida if I cannot give the poor child a proper home and love…
Oh love it will get, you and Dai Ma are there ..not to say about your other family members….
Yes, but a child needs its mother's love the most during its growing up years, Roshni…
Suddenly there is a change in mood in Roshni, she looked excited, yes, Jai you know what you get married once again….have your natural child, the one you always wanted and a loving mother too for it…
Jai looked at her in disbelief….Tum..Tum …pagal ho gaye ho…absolutely mad and out of your head….he said ….
No Jai Roshni was serious…I am for it….you have the right to father a child, I don't want so some other woman might, I won't mind if you have a 2nd wife…Dharamji has, so does so many other people…I will look for a bride for you
Jai looks at Roshni's face trying to understand, he knows that look, she is serious…holy cow has she gone out of her head…
Jai nods his head, and goes back to his breakfast…no use of talking to her…it will only drive her to do something drastic…once she resolves she will do something then no there is looking back for her…
Munna yeh Pia ki shaadi ke card hai, tumlogo ke liye
Ji Ma….woh Pia ke shaadi ke liye agar paisa chahiye…
Ha beta maine tere naam 50,000/- rupiah bhej diya…
Aur de dete…
Theek hai mai lekar jayungi…aur ek baath beta…Nishikant tujh se baath karna chahata tha…tujhe invite karne ke liye…ghar ka pehla shaadi hai…
I am not going to any village…replied Roshni…
Ma, I will try, agar kuch din pehle jaanta toh thora plan kar sakta…anyway…
Ha beta, mujhe maloom hai, lekin keya kare…tu dekh le…Dai ma leaves...
As Jai finishes the breakfast, he notices Roshni scribling something on a pad....
Keya likh rahi ho tum….
Tumhara shaadi ka istehaar...
ROSHNI tum saach much pagal ho gaye ho....
Nehi Jai, totally sane, and Jai I have a big heart, you were always mine, I know you from college days, we have been together so long and nobody can take you away from me….
Jai Walia shakes his head in dismay and walks out….when Roshni is in that mood, no amount of logic is good enough…it is best the idea dies its own death…
