PART - 31
All the kids in the Chawla household will be very excited about the upcoming wedding of Kasturi! But they don't know if they will attend the wedding or not because of JP's attitude. They will be very tensed. But still they will go ahead and plan on preparing a dance number that they all intend to present during the reception, if they happen to go. So Tanu, Kikoo, Navneet, Siya and Sameer start practicing for a song. And Tanu and Navneet will keep bugging their mom to make bauji agree to go for the wedding. But JP does not give them any indication as to if his mind has changed or not!
On Friday Alaana and Nikhil arrive. They are made abreast of the situation. Alaana and Nikhil are shocked. At first they don't know how to react. But finally Alaana will reconcile to the situation considering that her Mom is happy. Nikhil will be upset. But, there is nothing much he can do about it as all his monetary needs are satisfied by the Sabharwals and he does not want to rub them on the wrong side.
On Saturday, Devika's younger sister Yashoda, who lives abroad arrives with her son. Devika has only one younger sister and both the sisters are very close. After meeting with her sister, she goes looking for Robbie. He is in his music room along with Kasturi showing her all the awards and cups he has won since his childhood. She hits him from behind and says
Yashoda : Toh aakhir tumhe koi mil hi gayi, Ranbir Sabharwal!!!!!
Robbie turns to see his aunt along with Kasturi who is surprised to hear that name. Robbie will break into a huge smile and say
Robbie : Yashoda aunty!!!!
They hug with a lot of affection and Yashoda turns her attention to Kasturi.
Yashoda : Mei iski mausi hun! Aur tum ho woh lucky girl jisse yeh mil gayaa?
And she hugs Kasturi. Kasturi smiles.
Robbie : Thank god aunty, kamsekam aap mere side mei hai! Nahi toh sab mujhe lecture de rahe hai ke mai kitnaa lucky hun, jo Kasturi mujhe mili!!!
Yashoda : Mei hamesha tere hi saath hun aur hamesha yahi kahungi ki jisse bhi Ranbir mil jaaye, woh ladhki badi bhagonwaali hai!!!!
Kasturi (looking at Robbie) : Ranbir???
Yashoda : Arre, isne tujhe nahi bataaya ke isska naam 'Ranbir' hai??? Woh toh apne rock star image ke liya isko 'Robbie' banaa diyaa gaya tha, lekin mere liye toh yeh hamesha Ranbir hi rahega!!!!
Robbie : Arre aunty, Shantanu (Yashoda's son) kahaan hai?
Yashoda : Didi ke paas baitha hai.
They all go to meet Shantanu. Slowly all the relatives start arriving. Nandini's brother's family from Pune will also arrive ( Siya's future in-laws). The house will be filled with a lot of chehel-pehel. Everyone is excited and happy except Kasturi. She never received so much as a call from her Mom or Dad!!! Kasturi resigns herself to her fate.
The wedding day will arrive. Kaushalya was not able to get a wink of sleep the night before and she will finally drift into sleep in the wee hours of dawn. She will suddenly hear JP calling
JP : Arre, kitne der sooagi? Uthna nahi hai? Beti ki shaadi hai aaj aur itni susti ??
Kaushalya gets up confused. She thinks her ears are ringing. Did she hear him right?
Kaushalya : Lalaji, kya keh rahe hai aap??
JP : Wahi, jo tumne abhi suna. Tayyar nahi hona, Shaadi mei jaane ke liye?
Kaushalya is staring at him and her face is registering a huge shock.
JP (smiles) : Jaanta hun, tumhe samajh mei nahi aa rahaa hai ke mei badal kaise gayaa? Kaushalya, mujhe apni galti ka ehsaas bahut pehle ho gayaa tha. Lekin mujhe yeh sweekar karne mei thoda waqt lag gayaa. Lekin abhi bhi shaayad bahut der nahi hua hai. Kya kehti ho?
Kaushalya (with tears in her eyes) : Nahi Lalaji, bilkul der nahi hui hai. Der aaye par durust aaye! Aapne jab naukri chodh di toh mujhe lagaa aap Kasturi ko kabhi maaf nahi karenge!
JP : Kaushalya, woh naukri meine issliye chodi kyunki mei nahi chahta tha ke jab bhi mei apni beti aur damaad ko kuch doo, toh mujhe yeh lage ke mei unhike paison se unhe kuch de rahaa hun! Mei chahta tha ke unhe ek jode kapde hi dun, lekin apne kamaai ke dun.
Kaushalya is shocked and ecstatic to find out the truth. She thanks him and quickly goes to inform everyone in the house. Everybody will be very very happy and immediately start getting ready for the wedding!!!! Kaushalya can't wait any longer and she will call Kasturi. Kasturi is getting ready when the phone rings. She is shocked to see that the call is from her home. She immediately grabs the phone
Kaushalya : Puttar!
Kasturi : Maa!!!!!!!!
Kaushalya : Puttar, kaisi hai tu?
Kasturi (crying) : Maa!!!!
Kaushalya : Ro mat, sab theek ho gayaa hai. Tere bauji ne tujhe maaf kar diyaa hai aur hum sab thodi der mei aar rahe hai wahaan.
Kasturi cannot believe her ears!!! She gets up with excitement and is talking frantically to her mom. They talk for some more time and then Kaushalya ends the call. She immediately calls Robbie and tells him. Robbie is super happy!!!! Finally the one thing that he thought he could not get for Kasturi - her family's approval has also come through. He is extremely happy for her.
The Chawlas arrive and are welcomed heartily by the Sabharwals and Singhanias! The wedding ceremonies start. Both the couples will look absolutely fantastic!!!! They look so beautiful, so much in love and so mesmerizing!!! This will be a wedding to remember. Nobody can take their eyes off the jodis!!! Dushyant and Nandini will be so happy about finally witnessing their son's wedding!!! Devika will be sitting quietly in a corner, watching Robbie and Kasturi. Her heart is brimming with emotion at seeing her son so happy and with the thought that she almost did not allow him to have this happiness. She is unaware that tears are flowing down her eyes. Suddenly she feels someone holding her hand. She blinks and turns to see Puru. She is very surprised. They look at each other. She sees years of misunderstandings, hatred and suffering. But she also sees something new. She sees a very small ray of hope, a hope of a new beginning, a hope of togetherness. She also reciprocates by holding his hand. And this is seen by Robbie. He is amazed and deeply touched. Some of the anger that he has towards his dad seems to have disappeared!!! He turns to look at Kasturi. He feels Kasturi, by coming into his life, has not only given him life but has also given a new lease of life for his parents. Kasturi feels his look and turns to see him. There is only love, pure love in his eyes for her!!!!
When the couples are getting ready for the saath pheres, Tanu is asked to distribute the flowers. While she is doing that, accidentally the basket slips from her hand and she tries to reach for it before it hits the ground. But its saved just in time by a pair of hands!!! She looks up to thank the person but words don't come out as her mouth has gone completely dry!!!!! He is the most handsome guy she has ever seen!!!!! She is staring at him like an idiot!!!! He smiles at her and goes and sits besides Devika. It will be Shantanu. Tanu cannot take her eyes off him. Navneet sees all this and comes to her
Navneet : Tanu, zameen par aaja. Getting a job, designing clothes, making indian designs popular in Europe, going to France.........kuch yaad aaya?
Tanu comes back to her senses, glares at her sister who is grinning and goes away from there.
Soon the wedding is over. Both the couples start taking aashirwaad from everyone. As soon as they reach JP and Kaushalya, Kasturi runs to her dad and hugs him. Both of them are crying like crazy!! Kasturi asks him to forgive them and JP answers back saying that he is the one who needs to be forgiven. He embraces Robbie and a new relationship starts forming between them. Kasturi also seeks blessings from her grandparents. There will be all round happiness and it will be a very joyous occassion.
Soon the day will pass and everybody will get ready for the reception in the evening. RK will be the special couple for the evening. The who is who of Delhi social circle will be present there in full might. It will be a most beautiful reception and Kasturi will be looking gorgeous!!!!! And Robbie, as handsome as ever!!! Every guest will have the same thought in their mind. WOW!!!!! What a jodi!!! They are made for each other!!!!!! RK will mingle with the guests, being introduced, everyone wishing them the best and they thanking them for coming etc etc. Navneet, Siya, Tanu, Sameer, Kikoo get ready with their dance number and start to perform. They will perform for the following song
(Hey, I chose this great song from the movie "Phir bhi dil hai hindustani". Terrific song!)
Tu Yaar Tu Hi Dildaar Tu Hi Mera Pyaar
Tera Mere Dil Mein Hail Darbaar
Karde Ek Baar Beda Paar Mujhe Ghar Baar Lage Bekaar
Phiroon Main Banke Tera Jogi
Kehta Hai Deewana Tera Hi Afsana
Tere Bin Duniya Mein Kya Khona Kya Paana
Aarzoo Hai Dil Hai Tu Hi Tu
Tere Sang Bana Hoon Malang
To Sab Hai Dang Hui Ye Duniya Mujhse Tang
Lai Hai Umang Ek Tarang Baaj Mirdang To Badle
Dhang Phiroon Main Banke Tera Jogi
Dharti Ke Aangan Mein Ambar Ke Daaman Mein
Sooraj Ki Kirnon Mein Saagar Ki Lehron Mein
Har Kahin Harzoo Hai Tu Hi Tu
Sab Log Manaye shok
Kahein Ye Jog Hai Mere Mann Ka Koi Rog Hai Ye Prem Aag
To Belaag Raat Ko Jaagta Hoon Main
Raah Phiroon Main Banke Tera Jogi
Tu Yaar Tu Hi Dildaar Tu Hi Mera Pyaar
Tera Mere Dil Mein Hail Darbaar
Karde Ek Baar Beda Paar Mujhe Ghar Baar Lage Bekaar
Phiroon Main Banke Tera Jogi
Sameer, Navneet, Siya and Tanu will dance for this song. They will do a great job!!! Hidden vibes will be passing betwen Navneet and Sameer when they are dancing!!! And Shekhar (her fiancee) will also join Siyaa in the dance! It will be a lovely show and RK will love it. Robbie is happy that for a change it is not him performing!! Then comes another performance - this time by Divya, Raunak and Neela. Divya announces it and Robbie is shell-shocked!!! Raunak has always hated dancing and Robbie cannot believe that Raunak actually took the pain of dancing for him!!! Robbie is touched deeply and he feels that's the best wedding gift!!!!!
Raunak, Neela, Alaana, Nikhil and Divya perform for the following song. Raunak and Neela look fantastic and dance great!!! The chemistry between them is amazing and they cannot help but remember the days when they were falling in love.
( Chose the beautiful salaam-e-ishq song from the same name movie)
Ishq hai...
teri aankhon ke matvaale kaajal ko mera salaam
zulfon ke kale kale baadal ko mera salaam
ghayal kar de mujhe yaar tere paayal ke jhankar
hey soni sone teri soni har adaa ko salaam
salaam-e-ishq ishq ishq salaam-e-ishq
ho teri mastaani anjaani bataon ko mera salaam
rangon mein doobi doobi raaton ko mera slaaam
khwaabon mein kho gayi main deewani ho gayi main
soney soney aisse soney har adaa ko salaam
salaam-e-ishq ishq ishq salaam-e-ishq
ho teri hathhawitch mehandi ka rang khila hain
tujhe sapano da changa mehboob mila hain
meri banno pyaari pyaari sari duniya se nyaari
ise doli mein tu leja doliyaan, doliyaan...
teri meri nazar jo mili pehli baar
ho gaya ho gaya tujhse pyaar
dil hai kya dil hai kya jaan bhi tujhpe nisaar
maine tujhe kiya aitbaar
ho main bhi toh tujhpe mar gayi
deewanapan kya kar gayi
meri har dhakan betaab hai
palkon vich tera khwaab hai
ho jaan se bhi pyaari pyaari jaaniya ko salaam
salaam-e-ishq,
salaam-e-ishq ishq ishq salaam-e-ishq
main tere ishq mein do jahan vaar doon
mere vaade pe kar le yakeen
keh rahe hai zameen keh raha aasman
tere jaissa dooja nahin
ho aisse jaadoon na daal ve
naa aaon mei tere naal ve
jhooti tereefein chodh de
ab dil mere dil se jod de
ho jo abhi hai dil se nikli uss dua ko salaam
salaam-e-ishq ishq ishq salaam-e-ishq
When the above is being played, Navneet catches Sameer staring at her. He seems to be telling her what the song is saying. But Navneet has a defiant look in her eyes. She wants him to come out first fair and square and tell her in as many words that he loves her!!!
rab se hai iltija maaf kar de mujhe
main toh teri ibaadat karoon
aye meri soniye na khabar hai tujhe
tujhase kitni mohobbat karoon
tere bin sab kuch benoor hai
meri maang mein tere sindoor hai
sanson mein yehi paigaam hai
mera sab kuch tere naam hai
ho dhadkanon mein rehnewaali soniye ko salaam
salaam-e-ishq
salaam-e-ishq ishq ishq salaam-e-ishq
When the above is being played, Robbie's hand slowly moves around Kasturi's waist and he pulls her closer to him. He turns to look at her and she at him. They want to say so much to each other but words don't seem to be enough. There will be a promise in their eyes, never to be separated and to always feel the same love for each other!
The performances will be over. RK will thoroughly enjoy themselves. Dinner will be ready and everybody disperses to eat.
Navneet and Siya will be talking when Sameer joins them. After a while Siya will go to join Shekhar. Navneet will be about to leave when Sameer holds her hand stopping her. Navneet looks up to him surprised.
Sameer : Navneet, kal tum free ho kya? Mei tumse kuch.........kuch baat karnaa chahta hun.
Navneet just looks at him with a smile and turns to go away. Sameer tightens his hold on her hand. Navneet turns back.
Sameer : Tumne jawaab nahi diyaa?
Navneet : Zaroori nahi har jawaab, lafzo mei dee jaaye.
Their eyes meet and Sameer gets the answer he wants. He smiles and says
Sameer : Kal tumhe cheh baje pick up karne aaunga. Tayaar rehna.
And turns and leaves while Navneet is looking at him with such expectation. She knows what he is going to tell her but still the thought of hearing it from him, leaves her tingling all over!!!
Shantanu will be standing in a corner, drinking some water when Tanu comes up to him. She could not stop thinking about him even for a minute and so decides to strike up a conversation with him.
Tanu : Hello, I am Tanu Chawla
And extends her hand. Shantanu shakes it and introduces himself
Shantanu : Hai, Shantanu Banerjee. Aap, dulhan ki rishtedaar hai?
Tanu : Haan, woh meri badi behen hai. Aur aap?
Shantanu : Meri maa, Robbie ki mausi hai.
Tanu : Oh, accha.
Shantanu : Btw, aap bahut accha nachti hai. I was seeing your performance.
Tanu (blushes) : Thank you.
Shantanu : Do you go to college here?
Tanu : Oh, I just finished college. Aur haan hum yahi rehte hai Delhi mei. Aap bhi Delhi mei rahte hai?
Shantanu is casually looking at RK while answering
Shantanu : Nahi. Mei France mei rehta hun...........
Whooooooooooooosh, THUD!
He looks to see what the noise is and is shocked to see Tanu lying flat on the ground with a huge smile on her face!!!!!! ( 🤣 )
Soon the beautiful night will wind down. All the guests leave and everyone crashes for the night - dead tired. Robbie and Kasturi are lying in each other's arms. They are leaving for their honeymoon the next day morning. The honeymoon trip that Raunak and Neela had gifted them was for Switzerland!!
Robbie : Accha Kasturi yeh batao, tum pehli baar mujhse kab pyaar karne lagi? Tumhe ehsaas toh maine dilaaya tha, lekin pyaar hua kab tha?
Kasturi : Jab maine aapko pehli baar aapke concert mei dekha tha. Usi kshan dil ko aisa lagaa ke, jiski mujhe talaash thi, wo mujhe mil gayaa. Lekin bahut si utaar-chadaav dekhne ke baad hi, yeh sapna sach hua!!
Robbie : Zindagi ke sab utaar peeche choot gaye hai Kasturi, ab sirf chadaav, hi chadaav hai!
He kisses her and they close their eyes and drift into beautiful dreams..............................
Many things happened in RK's lives after this. Some good, some bad and some ugly!!! But I am going to assume that they always stood together and faced the challenges in life. To see if my assumption was right or not , I fast forwarded 2 years of their lives and took a peek at what was going on in their lives. I was amazed to find out that Robbie was going to become a dad!!!!!!
Neela and Kasturi got pregnant at about the same time! Kasturi gives birth to twins - a boy and a girl!!!!! Robbie and Kasturi are going through some of the happiest times of their lives. Robbie and Kasturi name their son Yogi and their daughter Yamini. A week later Neela gives birth to a son. Raunak and Neela name him Rishi. Everyone is ecstatic at the arrival of these new members and their lives start revolving around them.
I am going to further assume that Yogi Sabharwal and Rishi Singhania grew up to become the best of buddies and Yamini Sabharwal went on to become the all-time greatest rock performer of her time and hearthrob of millions of fans, successfully carrying forward her father's legacy.................
