Part 7
Anant is looking at Navya who is toying with the end of her dupatta nervously. He sees it for a while and says, 'Navya, duniya khatam ho rahi hai kya?' Navya looks at him with a very confused expression and he asks, 'Aise kyun dekh rahi ho?' She can't meet his eyes but says, 'Mujhe samajh nahi aata, Anant. Tum dekhna nahi chahte ya dekhkar anjaan ban rahe ho? Sach se muh morhne se woh jhoot nahi ban jaata.' Anant fully comprehends her words and says, 'Main muh nahi morh raha, Navya. Main kaayar nahi houn. Main bas janta houn ke zindagi mein agar kuch chahte ho toh uske baare mein kuch karna parhta hai. Aur agar aap nahi karte toh aapko koi cheez chahne ka haq nahi hai. Agar maine aaj kuch kiya na, Navya toh zindagi bhar pachtave ke ilava mere paas kuch nahi hoga.' Navya looks at him directly and just asks, 'Hum itne chote samay mein ek doosre ke liye itne important kaise ho gaye, Anant?' She closes her eyes realising that she said too much. He smiles looking at her cute expressions and says, 'Aankhein kholo, Navya.' She opens her eyes and sees the smile lighting up his face. It makes her feel happy and content. He says, 'Yeh rishtein planned thodi na hote hai, Navya. Bas ho jaate hai. Koi dil ke itne karee baa jaata hai ke phir chahkar bhi usse door nahi kiya jaata.' Navya is elated at his words and then looks away from him to see Gautam coming out with his girlfriend. The smile leaves her face and a determined expression takes its place as Anant looks on.
[Introducing Jennifer Winget as Vaidehi in a small but sensitive role]
Gautam sits in his car and drives off as Navya now approaches the girl. She takes a deep breath and goes, 'Excuse me.' The girl turns around and looks at Navya questioningly. She has heavily kohled light green eyes and is dressed in jeans and a deep red kurti. She says, 'Yes, kya main aapko janti houn?' Navya is quiet and cannot speak up. She starts to get nervous and looks back at Anant who is hidden from the girl's view. Anant shakes his head and indicates that she cannot back out. Navya closes her eyes and says a small prayer before turning her head towards the girl who looks a little agitated now. Navya says, 'Main Navya, Navya Mishra. Aapka naam kya hai?' The girl says, 'Hold on and let's back up. Tum mujhse baat karne aayi ho aur tumhe mera naam nahi pata? Yeh kya mazaak hai.' She starts to go when Navya says, 'Main Gautam Jeeju ki saali Navya houn.' The girl stops in her tracks and cannot say anything. Navya comes in front of her and sees the shocked expression on her face. She looks up and says, 'Gautam Jeeju? Yeh tum kya keh rahi ho?' Navya says, 'Dekhiye, main aapko nahi janti lekin meri didi Gautam Jeeju se bohot pyaar karti hai. Kuch dinon pehle hi unke yaha ladki hui hai.' She starts to retreat backwards and sits on the bench behind her with tear filled eyes. Navya goes towards her and says, 'Aap theek toh hai na...?' The girl quietly says, 'Vaidehi... Mera naam Vaidehi hai, Navya.' Navya looks at her shattered expression and thinks, 'Inhe toh kuch nahi pata.'
Anant keeps giving Navya side glances as he drives her home. Navya notices this and without looking at him says, 'Aise kyun dekh rahe ho, Anant?' Anant replies, 'Navya, tum mujhe dekhkar kyun nahi baat karti? Main kya gaadi ke bahar houn?' Navya smiles slightly and then says, 'Thank you, Anant.' He stops the car at the side of the road and turns to look at her and says, 'Ms. Mishra, main ek baat clear kar dena chahta houn. Yeh thank you word hamare dono ke beech mein completely bandh.' Navya innocently asks, 'Agar bolne ka mann kare toh?' Anant is quiet at her question and just keeps looking at her endearingly. He raises his right hand to touch her face before he stops it himself thinking, 'Nahi Anant, jab tak Navya teri nahi ho jaati uske saath aisa kuch mat kar jo usse takleef de.' He changes the mood and says, 'Toh phir bol dena. Aur main tumhe iss liye dekh raha tha ke jaise din jaate hai, tumhara koi naya rang mere saamne aa jaata hai, Navya. Yeh chup chaap si Navya main bohot himmat hai.' Navya says, 'Sahi baat karne ke liye himmat toh honi chahiye na, Anant? Agar aapko apni baat par yakeen hai toh usse saamne rakhne mein kya problem ho sakti hai?' Anant says, 'Navya, agar kal ko tumhe apne Ma Papa se meri baat karni parhe toh tum kar paogi?' Navya looks towards him and sees the anxiousness in his eyes. Keeping her eyes locked with his, she nods vey slightly and looks away as Anant looked at her in amazement.
Shagun is sitting in her room looking at Anant's picture. She is feeling very restless and says, 'Yeh humhe kya ho raha hai? Hum toh itne khush the Anant jee se shaadi karne ke baare mein toh phir abhi yeh kya feeling hai?' She wonders for a while and thinks, 'Hum bahar ghoome ke aate hai. Shayad yeh air change hoga toh accha lagega.' She goes outside and is just walking around when she stops near the water fountain and says, 'Kahin Rama didi ne humre liye galat faisla toh nahi le liye? Anant jee toh khush hi nahi lagte.' She goes over his expression whenever he sees her and realises that she is right. A tear escapes her eye when Mohan passes by and notices this. He shakes his head and walks towards her. He says, 'Kya hua, Shagun? Tum ro rahi ho?' Shagun wipes the tear off and says, 'Nahi nahi Jeejaji, woh hamari aankh mein kuch chala gaya.' Mohan says, 'Pakka, koi baat nahi hai. Tum mujhse keh sakti ho.' Shagun hesitates and just shakes her head. Mohan turns to go when Shagun stops him saying, 'Anant jee yeh mangni se khush hai na?' Mohan turns around to face her and sees Shagun very worried. He says, 'Yeh toh tumhe dekhna hoga na, Shagun. Kya woh khush lagta hai tumhe?' He just walks off leaving behind an exasperated Shagun. She thinks, 'Yeh jeejaji seedha jawab nahi de sakte. Humne sawaal kiya aur uske badle mein kya mila? Doosra sawaal.' She hits her head and sits by the fountain wondering what to do.
