Ok..let me think:
Milind fixes Sukruti's alliance with a random guy. Sukruti runs away, struggling to hold back tears that threatened to erupt. Barging inside her room, she falls head-first onto the bed and sobs out loud until her shoulders shook in extreme despair. Prachi runs behind SUkruti to witness her sister-in-law's gut-wrenching grief. Her own lovely eyes sparkled with tears. She brushes Sukruti's hair over and over again, trying to calm her down:
Prachi: "Sukruti, please chup ho jao. Main tumhara dard samajhti hoon, lekin rone se koi fayda nahin hai. Meri baat mano, sab tik ho jaayega"
Sukruti *not looking at her and gasping as she tries to speak*: "Nahiin..Bhabhi...Bhaiyaaa ka...bhiie naahin..maa...nenge. Un...hee...har ek ammeeer ladkee se it..ni nafrat ho ga..yi haa..i ki vo Saket kkeee saaath mera rishta kaab hiie nahin hoo ne denge"
Prachi tries whispering more sweet-nothings to console her, but Sukruti's condition only gets worse.
Finally, she decided that another confrontation with Milind was inevitable. At the thought of her angry husband, her heart sunk, and her mind diverted to her own failed marriage for a moment.
Prachi *with a forlorn face, thinks*: "Milind kyun mujhe kabhie samajh nahin paate. Kyun mere aur Neev ke rishtey ko har baar galat samajhte hain. Meri aankhon me unke liye chaahat kabhie nazar hi nahin aati kya?"
However, brushing those heartbreaking thoughts aside, she decided to focus on Sukruti and Sakets budding relationship, instead of the broken bond with her husband, a bond that actually never existed in the first place. It was no secret that Milind had married her only to avenge Ayesha, and, worse, continued to love his childhood sweetheart
She covers Sukruti with a blanket:
Prachi: "Dekh Sukruti. Mere Kehne Par Hi Tumne Saket Ko Haan Kaha. To Main Hi Kisi Tarah Se Tum Donon Ko Milvaoongi. Lekin Tumhein Ab Thodi Der Ke Liye Sona Hoga, Varna Tumhari Tabiyath Kharab Ho Jaayegi"
So saying, she pats her until a tired, heartbroken Sukruti had no more energy to argue. She closes her eyes for a short nap, partially content that at least her kind Bhabhi understood her love for Saket. Prachi then wraps her with a blanket and tiptoes out of the room towards Milind.
Inside their bedroom, Milind is replaying the image of his distraught sister walking out of the living room, and is extremely disheartened for being the cause of her misery. BUT, he was also stubborn about not getting her married into that SHERGILL family. Just the thought of them made his blood boil, and he thought furiously: "Us Niharika Shergill ki himmat kaise hui ye sochne ke liye ki main apni behen ki shaadi ek aise ghar me karvaoonga jahaan rishton ki koi ahmeeyat hi nahin hai. Paison ke bhooke jaanwaron ke beech me meri Sukruti kabhie nahin jaayegi.
Main jaanta hoon ki Sukruti abhi mujhse khafa hai, lekin dheere dheere sab kuch samajh jaayegi. Mujhe poora yakin hai ki Saket doosre ameer logon ki tarah hi ghatiya rahega. Jis tarah se Alaap ne meri behen ki zindagi tabah kar di aur mere Babuji ko sharminda kar diya, usi tarah Saket bhi use beech manjhdhaar me hi chod dega. Are, unki fitrat hi aisi hoti hai – ladkiyon ko isthemaal karne phenk dena, doosron ke gharon me aag lagana....his thoughts shifted to Neev's affair with his wife, leaving a bitterness in his heart.
It pricked him each time Prachi smiled or spoke to Neev. Initially, he had wondered why he was even concerned about someone he had married only to make Ayesha jealous, but slowly he had realized that his angelic-looking wife was softly, but surely stealing his heart. Thinks: "Angellic….my foot. Are, mujhe kya pata tha ki us achayi ke aad me vo sirf mujhe dhoka de rahi thi"
He had, however, vowed to never make his displeasure or dissatisfaction apparent to Prachi. She had cheated him, but he would never ever give her the satisfaction of knowing how hurt he was.
Angrily mutters: "Jaanta hoon, Sukruti ka bhi saath vo Prachi sirf is liye de rahi hai taaki apne AASHIQ (his voice dipping with scarcasm) ke saath aur waqt bita sake"
Prachi walked in just as he spoke those thoughts aloud. Her already sinking heart SHATTERED. She almost decided to walk away, but the memory of Sukruti's tears forced her to gather some courage. "Someone's life is in my hands, and I cannot run away from at least trying to set it right, just because my husband hates me", she thought
Taking a deep breath, she took his name softly, "Milind…."
Milind gave a start, and ordered his heart to stop thinking about that deceitful witch. If falling in love with her was not enough, he was actually imagining her voice too….."Damn it", he thought
Misinterpreting her husband's silence as disinterest, Prachi tried again, this time a little louder: "Milind"….
Milind screamed out loud, "CHUP," and turned around, only shocked to find his wife in front of him. His 'CHUP' was actually directed at his heart, but Prachi once again misunderstood his command, and shuddered inwardly.
For a minute, Milind just stared at the beauty-in-violet, "She looks so beautiful in that color". As soon as he thought so, he closed his eyes in pain, turned back around and replied with a curt, "Kya chaahiye tere ko"
Prachi looked ready to cry, and wanted to scream at her husband, "Kyun aap mere saath aisa vyavahar kar rahe hain? I love you Milind, mujhse mooh mat modo".
Instead, she just took a deep, calming breath and whispered, "Aapne shaadi ki bath itni jaldi kyun ched di. Bina kisi ko bataaye aapne ye rishta kyun tay kar diya…Sukruti ki haalat…"
Milind pierces her with his stern gaze, and snaps,
"Meri behen ki shaadi tay karvaane ke liye mujhe KISI ki ijaazat nahin chaahiye (emphasizing on KISI KI – meaning, TUMHARI), aur khaaskar un logon ki nahin jo mere parivaar ka hissa nahin hai. Sukruti ko sambhalna mujhe aata hai, uski khushi ka khayal rakhna bhi mujhe aata hai…isiliye, apna samay barbaad mat karo, aur jaake APNE Neev ko khana khilao" Shouting now, "MUJHE AKELA CHOD DO"
Prachi listened helplessly to his crap, her lips trembling and her whole body threatening to crumble due to the heaviness of her heart. But, unlike those times when she used to just obey his orders, she simply went closer to him and continued firmly, this time also a little louder. She loved Sukruti, and was determined to face his wrath just so her friend and sister led a happy life, replete with love and laughter.
Mustering up more courage, she faced him and tried reasoning some more:
"Milind..aap samajhne ki koshish kyun nahin kar rahen hai? Agar aap sirf ek baar tande dimag se sochenge, to aapko khudbakhud Saket ki aankhon me aapki behen ke liye sachcha pyaar dikhayi dekha. Kyun aap do pyar karne walon ko juda karne ke liye itne utavale hain? Sachcha pyar zindagi me sirf ek baar milta hai...Sukruti ko us pyar ko mehsoos karne deejiye. Main aapke saamne haath jodti hoon"
After Milind had shouted at her to leave him alone, he had turned back to the window, welcoming the harsh sun on his face, for it echoed his own mood right now. Her supple body had already taken away his breath, and the only way he could have controlled his emotions was by screaming at her "Us Dhokebaaz Ki Wajah Se Main Aur Sharminda Nahin Hoonga".
But there was a portion of his heart that wished she had not left, and had instead stayed by his side, for he needed her support so badly right now. There was a portion of his heart that wished she deny all his accusations, and accept that she only loved him…smiling scarcastically, he thought, "Kya Soch Raha Hoon Main Bhi….Ye Dil Bhi Na Saala…Koi Dimag Nahin Hai…"
Imagine his shock and surprise when 2 minutes later, Prachi was actually facing him. It took him a moment to focus on her words, but when he did, he also wished he hadn't. Prachi was pleading with him to not separate two lovers, for true love happens only once in a lifetime. As she rambled on, Milind could only think of that fateful night when Neev had blurted out his feelings for Prachi in front of everyone – that one night had been a rude awakening, a wake up call to the cruel truth that his wife will always love her childhood sweetheart, NEEV. He was just an inconvenience she was gladly wanting to get rid of , which is also why she had so easily accepted his demand for a divorce!!!!!
Milind could take it no more….this time, he steeled his tone so she would just get lost and leave him to deal with these unwelcome feelings:
"CHUP KAR TU. Ek lafz aur nahin. Badi shaani hai tu re – meri behen ki aad me APNA love story suna rahi hai" *Wednesday dialogue*
A shocked PRachi replied, "Nahin…main to bas"
"NIKAL JAA YAHAAN SE. Tumhari bakwaas bahut sun li"
Prachi wanted to close her ears, so she would never hear his harsh words, but she turned around and just bowed her head, as fury built up in her heart. This time, she thought, "he WILL not have the satisfaction of seeing me cry. One more word, and I will give it as good as I got"
But he doesn't stop, and continues to taunt her with extremely distasteful words, masking his agony with cruelty, "Jaa….Apne Aashiq Ka Bistar Garam Kar Aur Mujhe…"
Prachi lost it. She turned around and screamed with her palm raised, commanding him to stop that nonsense.
"BAS!!!!!!!!!!!!" Milind is stunned at being the victim of this unseen side of the demure Prachi
"Bahut bardaasht kar liya maine. Pati hai aap mere, parmeshwar nahin ki jo jee me aaya bol diya." Angry tears gather in her eyes, her pent up fury pouring forth..."Main bhi jaanti hoon aur aap bhi jaante hain ki humne ek doosre se shaadi kyun ki. Lekin, us barsaat ki raat ke baad mujhe laga ki hum dono me pati patni ka na sahi, dosti ka rishta to bana tha. Par main galat thi – aap to kisi ke dost bhi banne layak nahin hai. Aapko to sirf ilzaam lagana aata hai.
Milind starts feeling extremely guilty for losing his cool so often, but he HAD no choice for anger was his only defense to sheath his defenseless heart
Raising her voice a notch, and jutting her face into his, she continues her tirade with not a tremor in her demeanor, 'Mere aur Neev ke rishtey ke bare me aapka har ek jhoota ilzaam main aaj tak sahti aayi hoon. *shaking her head* Lekin ab aur nahin. Aap baar baar yahi kehte hain na ki main Sukruti ki aad me APNI prem kahaani suna rahi hoon. Lekin aap GALAT hai….main koi apni prem kahaani nahin suna rahi, balki AAP Ayesha ke saath APNI PREM KAHAANI ko aage badana chahte hain, aur apne guilt ko kam karne ke liye mujhpe ilzaam laga rahe hain.
Itna yaad rakh leejeye, agar mujhe Neev ke paas jaana hi tha to main tab jaati jab hamari shaadi nahin hui thi, *raising her voice one more notch* tab jaati jab hum donon ek doosre se nafrat karte the, *one more*tab nahin jaati jab hamara rishta aage bad raha tha, *finally screaming into his face* tab nahin jaati jab mujhse AAPSE PYAR HO GAYA
A startled MILIND reacts visibly, clearing his head once to make sure those last four phrases were not a dream. Almost immediately, his heart seemed light and he had an irresistible urge to smile…
"Prachi", he tried interrupting her, hoping she would go on, hoping she would stop so he could make sure that he heard right
But she was beyond any reasoning by then, and finished with a…"Are aap apni BEHEN ki aankhon me pyar kaise dekh sakte hain, jab ki AAPKO apni BIWI ke aankhon me aapke liye pyar dikhayi nahin…."
Almost as if she had suddenly replayed those last few moments, and SHOCKED and EMBARRASSED at her revelation, she stood dumbstruck and open-mouthed……..only to find an equally stunned Ayesha who had heard her monologue!!!!
Immediately, Prachi just turned around, wishing she could go back in time….she bowed down, her face red with shame, and said, "Main sirf aapse itna kahoongi ki agar aapne Sukruti ki shaadi zabartasti karva di to aap bhi Alaap ki hi tarah apne gurur ki wajah se uski zindagi barbad karenge"
So saying, she slips out, and runs down the stairs. She had to get out, for not only had she lashed out at her hubby, but had involuntarily blurted out her most guarded secret…until now, she was only ignored by Milind, but now she would be pitied by him! How desperate did I sound, she thought!!!!!!!!!. She couldn't tolerate the images of Milind and Ayesha mocking her emotions together! She clutched her hands on her steering wheel, and sobbed uncontrollably, letting out her anguish and anger…"Kyun bola maine vo sab…kyun apne dil ko uske saamne rakh diya…kyun Milind mujhe itni giri hui nazar se dekhta hai…kitni badnaseeb hoon main"
As Prachi ran out of the room, Milind stood motionless like a statue, butterflies of joy dancing in his heart. "Prachi loves me, Prachi loves me, Prachi loves me," he repeated with a wide grin, doing a little jiggle, completely unaware of Ayesha's presence and her jealous, broken heart………………"I have to tell her that I LOVE her too"…."I LOVE YOU PRACHI", he screamed in happiness to no one in this room this time…………………then he turned back and RUSHED OUT, brushing past Ayesha without a glance…."PRACHI…PRACHI"…he saw her reverse her car out of the gate. He ran like a madman towards her, "PRACHI…rukooooooooo"…….PRACHI…."damn it", he leaped to his car and jumped in, hoping to catch her ASAP so they could finally let go of all their fears, and embrace each other for life.
"I was such a fool….kitna bhala bura kahaa use. Main kaise ye soch sakta tha he Prachi mujhe dhoka de sakti hai. Are, usne to meri jaan bachayi thi….mere har ek zulm ko chup chaap sunti and sehenti rahi", he repented to himself over and over again
"Lekin ab main Prachi KO KABHIE bhi apne se alag nahin hone doonga. Vo meri zindagi hai, aur in dinon mujhe pata chal gaya ki uske bina main adhoora hoon….uske bina main jee nahin sakta…main uske pair padoonga, aur use zindagi bhar vo gehra pyar doonga jiske vo hakdar hai"…."meri prachi, meri prachi"…he hummed along, with that sweet smile playing on his lips
Prachi had seen Milind take out his car and follow her. "Ab kyun mera peecha kar rahe hain?" She makes a turn into an isolated road surrounded by tall cliffs, and presses her leg on the accelerator, uncharitable thoughts racing through her mind
Milind had been following her for a while now, and even tried calling her, but to no avail. "How can I blame her…I have been so thoughtless and selfish. But I will make it up to you, Prachi; just give me ONE chance, pleaseeeeeeee…"
Suddenly, his gut instinct was warning him that something unfortunate was going to happen…"Prachi...kya kar rahi ho tum".
Prachi was still crying, not taking her foot out of the accelerator. Her car veered dangerously once, which provided a rude awakening….she barely noticed a steep curve, and shouted out loud
"Prachi Prachi…Bhagwan…Mere Prachi ko kuch nahin hona chahiye…kuch nahin hona chaahiye………."………….he was screaming, placing his head out of the window
Taking her foot out of the accelerator, Prachi tried slowing down, but the car was no longer in her control,….a big cliff loomed ahead….she continued to apply her brakes….as her vehicle swerved around, she was sweating and screaming profusely, and unfortunately took her hand out of the steering wheel….suddenly, she was in the air
Milind could not believe what was happening…………"PRachi…………….PRachi……..Prachi…" he yelled…he forcefully applied the brakes, and sprinted towards where he had seen the flash of metal in the sky......bawling out loud, he shakes his head in disbelief…."Nahin, Nahin, Ye Nahin Ho Sakta…"….looking around, running around, he shrieked like a madman, "Prachi Prachi…tum mujhe chodke nahin jaa sakti…PRACHIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII"……….wet tears simply streamed through his dimpled chin, as he scratched his face in the deepest agony, spread his arms towards the sky, and howled…….."PRACHIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII….PRACHIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII………PR ACHIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII", his echo bouncing loudly off every mountain, as if replaying his grief over and over again…….
As he writhed in agony, a trembling palm made its way to the peak of the cliff, slowly trying to raise itself. A partially conscious Prachi had heard his cries, and realized that he had not left her alone….."Bachaoo."…she squeaked at the sullen form beating his head on the ground, right in front of her….she even tried touching him
But, of course, he couldn't hear, for his own distress had empowered him, and his sobs were only getting louder and more uncontrollable….
Mustering up all her remaining energy, Prachi tried again, "Bachaao…."….
Frail and fragile due to those hot tears, Milind just dropped to the ground, his face ashen, his lips dry, his heart lifeless…'Main Prachi Ke Bina Nahin Jee Sakta…Nahin Jee Sakta"….o what if they couldn't be one in this birth, he was determined to unite with her in death, he gets up, his body swaying due to some unseen force, and slowly makes his way to the edge of the cliff, away from where her body was hanging….As he closes his eyes and gets ready to jump with a, "Prachi, Main Aa Raha Hoon," he hears an extremely soft noise…his gut not failing him yet again, he opens his eyes, and looks around, screaming again, "PRachi…Prachi…Maine Uski Awaaz Suni HHai..Vo Yahin Hai…Prachi…TUM KAHAAN HO…TUMHARA Milind tumhare paas hai……Prachi"
Almost unconscious now, Prachi's wets her lips and tries again, "Bachaaaaaaao"
At that moment, Milind turns around and notices her fair hand, trying to have a final grip on the peak………overjoyed, Milind rushes towards her, "Prachi..Prachi…main yahaan hoon....kuch nahin hone doonga tujhe"
So saying, he pulls her up with all his force. As the rocks scratch her creamy-white skin, Prachi holds on to her savior, and finally makes it to safe ground.
Milind holds her face tightly in his palm, drinking her with his eyes, as he could feel life seep into him again…grinning widely though tears, he rocks her over and over again, "Meri Prachi Zinda Hai…Prachi Prachi…" He places his head on her forehead and lets his tears flow freely
Prachi looks at the hazy form crying bitterly on her forehead. As he raises his head again, she gives him a subtle smile of Thanks, and then passes out
Milind's happiness couldn't be measured as he watched his wife smile…."Never again will I ever let you out of my sight dear….," he thought….."We are going to have a happy life together, where I will pamper you and be your slave FOREVER"………
Then he noticed that her eyes shut and her head just fell listlessly to a side….once again, tormented thoughts clutched at his heart, as he slapped her cheek a few times, "Prachi..Uto Prachi"…then he feels her pulse, which was sounding VERY BLEAK…….."Mere Pyar Ko Aspathal Leke Jaana Hai", so thinking, he carried her to his car, and raced across the evening traffic to the hospital…….
***********************
Hahahah ;) To cut it short, PRACHI isn't yet aware that Milind loves her :D
Ok, am tired of writing, but Prachi is gonna suffer from partial amnesia, where she would have forgotten everything that happened in the year before her accident. Therefore, she still regards Neev as her boyfriend, while only looking at Milind as an acquaintance who loves her sister AYESHA!
My senseless story can give Balaji Telefilms some stiff competition!!!!!!!!!
