CHAPTER 1:
Meher went to washroom and finished her morning chore. After that she came out. She wore a purple and blue kamiz with churidar. She dried her hair and wore her jewelry. Yesterday they fought over a silly thing. Actually it was not her fault. Sameer wanted to see the all the bills and she wanted Angrej to chop vegetables and make food. After all it was a dhaba. People went there to eat. But no. Sameer didn't listen and rebuked her. She came straight to home. When Bebe asked her she complained against Sameer. And the main astonishing part was when Sameer came back he didn't even try to pacify her. Meher pouted.
Meher: Aab lag raha hai mujhe hi kuch karna padega.
She smiled to herself and decided to make paner paratha, dal palak, chicken roast and mango pickles. She also decided to make lassi.
Bebe came to kitchen to make breakfast but seeing her she became amused.
Bebe: Kya bat hai Kudi? Aaj itna sab?
Meher: Kuch nehi Bebe. Baas khaneka man kar raha tha to socha bana loom.
Bebe smiled at her lame excuse.
Bebe: Khane ka man tha ya khilaneka?
Meher smiled a shy smile. Nothing escapes from Bebe's eyes. Bebe decided to help her. After sometime Iqbal came from jogging. By then the food was also prepared. Seeing him Bebe smiled.
Bebe: Puttar tu aa gya? Ja jake naha dhokar aa ja. Nashta tayar hai.
Iqbal nodded and went away from there without any words. After sometime he came out from his room wearing fresh cloths.
Meher made the table and served the food. Iqbal was eating food without sparing any words. The smile of Meher's face deflated. But Iqbal was not in mood for noticing anything. Last night Bebe told him that she want to marry them off as soon as possible. But how can he do this marriage? So, he talked to him. He said that he made all the arrangements.
Iqbal (in mind): Mujeh maaf kar dena Bebe. Mujeh maf kar de Meher. Par main kya karo? Tu Sameer ki amanat hai. Agar tujhpe kisi ka haq hai to sirf Sameer ka haq hai. Aur sirf iss mission ke lya main usse dhoka nehi de sakta. Yah Rabba please aap Bebe aur Meher ko yeh dukh sehen karne ke lye shaqti dena.
He was about to get up when Bebe stopped him.
Bebe: Yeh kya puttar? Khana pura to khatam karke ja. Meher ne itni pyar se tere lye khana banyi aur tune kuch bhi nehi kaha? Aur kuch nehi to sirf itna to bata sakta tha ki khana kaisa bana hai!!
Meher: Rehne de Bebe. Koi jarorat nehi hai. Aur waise bhi Sameer kuch kahe ya na kahe mujhe usse koi fadk nehi padta.
Bebe was about to say something when they heard a gentle knock in the door. Meher went to the door and opened it. In the door standing a beautiful girl aged around 23 standing. She was wearing a peacock blue salwar kamiz with churidar. Her dupatta was draped around her shoulder in a decent way. Her long shiny black hair was down. Her creamy skin was glowing in the ray of morning light. Her hands full of bangles. She was wearing matching jewelry. Meher stood there for sometime then snapped.
Meher: Aap koun? Kisse milna hai.
The girl spoke up in a melodic voice.
Girl: Sasryakal ji. Main hoom Jenny. Jenny Shikhawat. Main army ki doctor hoom. Yaha camp pe meri posting hui hai. Main yaha Sameer se milne aya tha. Woh hai kya gharpe?
By the Bebe and Iqbal also came to the door.
Iqbal: Are Jenny! Kaisi ho tum? Tumhari posting yaha hui hai?
Jenny smiled a shy smile and nodded.
Bebe: Sameer tu janta hai usse?
Sameer: Ha Bebe. Yehi hai woh shaqs jisne yudh ke maidan mein meri jan bachyi. Agar Jenny nehi hoti to aaj main jinda hi nehi hota.
Bebe: Aisa nehi kehte puttar. Beta andar aa jao. Tumne mere Sameer ki jan bachyi. Main tumhara shukria kaise ada karoom?
Jenny: Aisa mat kahye Aunty. Main ek doctor hoom. Aur ek doctor hone ke nate yeh to mera farz tha.
Bebe took her inside by hand and made her seat in the sofa. Meher was quietly observing Jenny. She had to admit that she is very beautiful.
Iqbal: To Jenny tum khana khaya?
Jenny: Nehi Sameer. Woh bohot subah uthke rawana hona pada to time nehi mila. Main hotel jake kha lungi.
Bebe: Puttar tum hotel kiyu ruk rahi hoom? Hamare yaha rehlo. Kamra bhi khali hi hai.
Jenny: Nehi Aunty. Main aplogoko pareshani main nehi dalna chahti.
Bebe: Tumne mere bete ki jan bachai hai. Tum to meri beti ban gyi. Meri bat nehi rakhoge? Sameer tu kuch kehta kiyu nehi?
Sameer: Ha Jenny. Bebe sahi keh rahi hai. Tum hotel ki reservation cancel karwa do.
Jenny held up her hand.
Jenny: Okkay baba. Karwati hoom.
Bebe turned to Meher.
Bebe: Meher puttar. Tu jara guest room saaf karwa degi? Sameer tu Jenny ka saman gharpe rakhke aa.
For some reason Meher was not liking Jenny. May be because she noticed the way Sameer was looking at Jenny or the tone he was using while talking to her. But she didn't give the matter much thought. She cleaned the room and Iqbal took her luggage in the room. Jenny also went with him.
Once inside Iqbal turned to Jenny. He checked if anyone was coming or not. Then spoke up in an urgent tone.
Iqbal: Tum yaha itni jaldi kaise pouch gye?
Jenny: Kal ratko unka phone aya tha. Ratko hi rawana hui.
Iqbal: Woh kaisa hai?
Jenny: Thik hai. Subah Nafesa ne call kya. Usse hosh aa gya hai.
Iqbal nodded. He gave Jenny a detailed look from head to toe and then smiled.
Iqbal: I missed you.
Jenny smiled her dazzling smile.
Jenny: I missed to you too.
Outside Meher came to call Sameer to finish his eating. She heard the last line and stopped at her track.
