Pyar ka Rishta--nu part--pg 15 - Page 6

It is one week left for the marriage. Kasturi has joined office. Robbie is still planning how to stop the marriage. Robbies behaviour towards kasturi has completely changed. He never fights with her, comes to office on time..he sometimes invite her for lunch and they talk about many things. They are like good friends and kasturi is surprised to see this face of Robbie. She regrets that she always considered him a spoilt brat..she is quite puzzzled. Meanwhile devika has arranged for JPs treatment and kasturi tells JP that they can take it as a loan and repay later. 2 more days are left for the marriage and that day when kasturi comes into the office Robbie meets her at the lobby and asks him to come along with him. He tells her that he wants to show her a surprise . They both get in the car and reach a remote place outside Delhi. It looks like a guest house.

K; Sirr aap mujhe yahan kyon laye hain

Ro: chalo andar batata hoon

They go inside. It is a beautiful house.

R: kasturi hum aaj yahan kuch waqt saat mein guzaarenge.

K: sirr ….yahan…woh..

R: Main soch rahan tha ki waise shaadi hone wali hain toh ek doosre koh thoda jaan lenge

K; par woh office mein bhi ho sakta tha

R: nahin office mein bahut disturbance hain…yeh jagah mujhe bahut acha lagta hain…kitna shaant aur sundar vatavaran hain…chalo kuch der chalke aate hain..

They both come out and start walking. Indeed the scenery was beautiful, with no sound of traffic, the wind breezing softly and just the sounds of bird chirping …kasturi was mesmerised by the serenity.

K; bahut khoobsurat jagah haina

R; haan….bahut sundar hain …wahan chalte hain…ek chota sa zeeel hain

They walk upto the waterfall while talking kasturi is telling him about her family..how tanu and navneet always fight and how kikkoo always immitates and irritates alka. Robbie is listening intently and he feels slightly jealous of her…what a loving family it is..whereas even if his family is rich when it comes to family bonding it was negative. Purushottam is always away drinking and whiling his time. Robbie is very upset that his mother is always neglected and how puru never bothers.

As they are near the water suddenly kasturi slips down and falls into the water and Robbie gives his hand but also slips and falls into the water. Like they both are on top of each other and rolling in the water as the water is not deep. Kasturi is on top of Robbie and he his holding her body …his touch and the sudden chill from the water makes her shiver and he automatically hugs her as if to give warmth.. this action makes her aware of his closeness..his breath is hot on her face and they are lost in each others eyes. Suddenly kasturi becomes wary and moves away from him. They both come out of the water…this few minutes of intimacy has created an awkward silence and Robbie is confused with his feelings…but kasturi is shy and she blushes..but Robbie doesn't notice. They walk back in silence and when they reach the guest house they have some spare dress so change themselves have lunch which Robbie had ordered.

It is already 4 in the evening…

K: sirr ab chale bahut der ho chuki..

R: haan thodi der chalte hain

K: sirr ghar mein sab wait kar rahen hain…aaj thoda shopping karni thi

R: accha shaadi ka tayariya chal rahan hain

K: ji… sir..

R: accha chai peete hain ..

Kasturi is worried about getting late…so she hurries up and makes tea.

Robbie is talking on his mobile and 2 more hours pass ..kasturi is getting nervous…an unseen fear creeps in her mind…

K: sirr hum chale ..bahut der ho chuki hain

R: kasturi kya jaldi hain…chalte hain…

K: sirr please…

R: nahin kasturi aaj main tujhe jaane nahin doonga

K: kya matlab…

R: haan…tum aaj aur kal nahin gayi toh shaadi apne aap ruk jata hain

Kasturi for a second doesn't register what he said…as his words sink in she goes white with shock.

K: kya…nahin..nahin…main aisa nahin kar sakti..sirr pleas main chalti hoon..

She picks her bag and starts walking out..but Robbie stops her at the dooor and locks it and keeps th keys in his packet.

K: sirr yeh aap kya kar rahein hain..aap pagal ho gaye kya..

R: haan main paagal hoon..kaise roko iss shaadi koh…mujhe yahin ek raasta milan

K: sirr please.. main nahin gaya toh mera bauji ka haalt aapko pata hain…woh abhi abhi teek ho rahein hain…iss sadme koh woh bardaash nahin kar sakte..

Robbie is least bothered.

Kasturi is getting very upset and she really is furious ..she walks upto Robbie..holds him by the collar

K: toh aap mujhe kidnap kiya hain kya..mujhe nahin pata tha ki aap itne neech harkat kar sakte hain…

R: kasturi tum samajne ki koshish karo..

K: mujhe kuch samajna nahin..mujhe abhi ghar jaana hain..So saying she dodges him and runs towards the back door but that is also locked…she is banging on the balcony door..but all the doors are locked and Robbie has gone upstairs..She breaks down crying and she is nervous imagining the consequences. She prays to GOD…suddenly she hears the main door opening.she rushes towards it .

As the door opens she is relieved to see Divya enter with a couple. Kasturi is very happy and she goes and hugs Divya.

Divya: kasturi kya hua ..kyo roh rahin hoan…

K: divya main eh sab baad mein bataoongi..pehle mujhe yahaan se le chalo..

So Divya takes kasturi in the car. Hearing the car sound Robbie rushes out to see the car has left and kasturi is not there.

R(thinks to himself)damn it pata nahin kiske saat gayi..eh plan bhi fail ho gaya!he hits the wall with his fist.

Kasturi tells Divya everything ..both of them not ready for marriage..the way Robbie wants to stop the marriage …until now everything. Divya is shocked to hear all this …

Divya: kasturi tum chinta mat karo main Robbie bhaiyya se baat karti hoon. Yeh accha hua ki main inn dono ko wahan guest house mein rehne ke liye le aayi..Eh mere dost hain hain ..US se aaye hain…

They drop kasturi home and Divya goes back to the guest house. Robbie is surprised to see her. Divya first makes the guests she brought comfortable and takes Robbie outside to talk.

Divya: bhaiyya aap kyon aisa kiya..kasturi acchi ladki hain..bahut hi homely, aur acchi swabhav ki hai…aap dono ki jodi bahut sundar hai…

R: Divya…stop..stop..abhi tumhari lecture shuru mat karo..aur kasturi ki tareef sunkar main tak gaya hoon..

D: bhaiyya…aap ko doondne se bhi kasturi jaise ladki nahin milegi…

R: haan mujhe nahin chahiye..main usse pyar …(saying this he stops for a minute) nahin..karta..

D: bhaiyya main aap se ek baat batana chahati hoon.. aap gussa mat hona..

She tells him everything about her abortion thingy and how Raunak and kasturi helped her..

Robbie is furious at first..he even raises his hand to hit Divya..

D: maro bhaiyya…mujhe iski sakt zaroorat hain..main bahut badi galati ki…she breaks down crying..

Robbie feels bad…..

Divya: bhaiyya..eh mat sochiye ki main eh sab aapko shaadi ke liye zabardast karne ke liye bata raha hooon.. kasturi jaise ladki bahut kam milte hain..so saying she leaves the place.

Robbie is left wondering and is deeply regretting his behaviour with kasturi..he immediately calls her..

Kasturi has reached house and nobody is suspecting anything..she heaves a sigh of relief..but is very upset with the incident and she is thinking whether she should inform her parents about it.. a 1000 questions are going on her mind..how will she live with a person who is so against marriage..but she is worried that if she informs her parents..they may start to worry endlessly and it is very dificult to stop the marriage as it will be such an insult to her family..thinking all this she keeps quiet and leaves everything to God. Just then her mobile rings and she seees Robbies number..she is in no mood to talk so she switches off her mobile and goes to sleep.

Robbie is left pondering over the incidents..right from the beginning his fights with kasturi..their engagement.. today how he had held her in his arms when they fell..the momentary pleasure he had felt which he had never experienced before..and last..Divyas words..He is amazed at how a girl can take so much risk for another..it showed kasturis selfless act and he feels proud about his friend Raunak,,he decides to call Raunak.
