Part: 13
Navya is worried about the upcoming engagement but not sure of whether she is really worried about the life of her best friend, Shagun who is not going to get real love from Anant or couldn't see Anant getting married.
Amar spent a week by taking Navya to movie and restaurants but she couldn't enjoy fully. Amar noticed it and tried to make her comfortable. She convinced him with a lame excuse:
"Kya hai na, Amar! Mein bahut kush thi ki mein shadi ke baad Shagun ke saat rahungy aur uskey saat khoob enjoy karungi. Magar wo chali gayi toh phir hum door hi rahengey na. Bus yahin reason mujhey sata rai hai."Amar consoled her "She is going to marry Anant only na, she will stay in this city only and you can meet her everyday if you really want to."
Anant and Sania were busy with the troublesome project and Om prakash decided to send Sania and Anant to America to help the project.
Damini and Neeta decided to approach Sugandha with the proposal since Sugandha didn't take any initiative till two weeks though she had noticed Anant's interest in Shagun.
"Navya! Aaj mein tumhari honeywali saas ke saat Sugandha aunty ki ghar jaa rahi hoon, Shagun ki aur Anant ki baat chalaney ke liye. Wahan sey sayad shopping bhi jaana hai 'Karva chauth" ke liye. Tum khana khakar so jana. " Neeta informed one fine morning when Navya is having her breakfast.
"Maa! Are you sure Anant and Shagun like each other? Sugandha aunty will agree for this match?" Navya is not comfortale to ear the news. She still confused about Anant whether for her sake or Shagun.
Navya felt sad and lay on the bed thinking about Anant after Neeta left for Damini's house.
"Why am I worrying about this proposal? Yeh kya jalan hai ya I'm really worried about Shagun's life?" She remembered Anant's encounter in the elevator and other times in Durga pujas. Her cheeks became red thinking about his touch. She caressed them with a slight cheer on face. She recollected Anant's enquiry about her intimacy with Amar. "Pagal kahin ka! Issey kya agar Amar mujhey chuva toh. Haan, wo bhi theek hi poocha tha. Amar ney kabhi aisi nahin chuva. Wo jaroor pyar sey deka tha magar wo pyar Anant jaisey nahin hai. Amar never took lenience of our friendship or engagement. I never got any kiss from him except on hands. Wait a minute, what am I thinking? Comparing Amar with Anant? OH God! Common, Navya! Forget Anant, wo tumhara kuch bhi nain, you cannot insult your relationship with Amar." She closed her eyes and prayed God for help.
She fell asleep for an hour and woke up when she heard a constant bell "kaun itni zore sey bell buzz raha hai.." she thought while getting down the bed.
On the other hand, Nimisha budged into Anant's cabin when he is seriously talking to the travel agent for his travel abroad on the project. Sania is checking the schedule.
"Bhaiya! Congrats!!" Nimisha continued at Anant's confused looks "Aaj hi Damini aunty Neeta aunty ke saat Shagun ki rista chalaney aayi thi. She is so excited to know that you are interested in Shagun. Mom aur Dadi bhi kush hai. And I came to give this news when they were talking about you." Anant is shocked and stopped her flow of excitement. "Wait a minute Nimisha! Who told I am interested in Shagun?'
Nimisha surprised now "Kyon tum uskey saat gaye, naachey and you went their house all days just to meet her!! Weren't you?"
Anant looked into Sania's eyes for a minute and asked Nimisha to leave as he is in very urgent meeting. Nimisha bid bye and ran out with excitement. Sania bit her lower lip sympathetically. Anant flipped the pen between fingers fast and still couldn't digest the news. "Marriage with Shagun? Is Shagun that serious about me? What should I do now? How can I go with this engagement? What will I do with Navya? I can't do this!!!"
Sania suddenly patted his hand with her pen "Look, Anant! Wahan dekho. Aur ek prospective couple!!" Anant looked out of his cabin where Sania pointed to. Nimisha is jumping and shaking Raj's hands and Raj is laughing with wide grin and asking "is it true" and Nimisha nodding her head with excitement. Anant held his head in right hand and rested his chin in the palm. "Yeh kya horaha hai? Yeh software company hai ya match fixing bureau? Lagta hai iss company mein pyar ka mousam chal raha hai...o God...what's all this?"
"Navya bhi issi company ki mousam mein shamil hai, Anant!" Sania teased him.
Anant nodded his head "Navya!!" he affectionately mumbled and looked into Sania's eyes. Something clicked into his mind as recollecting Nimisha's words.
Damini and Neeta are in our house. That means Navya will be home alone!!!" he picked phone immediately and called Navya. She answered with drowsy tone and he hung up the phone without saying a word. He picked his keys "Sania! Handle this ticketing. I'll be back soon."
Sania is surprised and stopped Anant at the door "Anant! Where are you going all of sudden? Kya yaad agaya tha? Are you okay?"
Anant turned to her "haan mein theek hoon. Jindagi aur mouth ka sawal hai. I just don't want to lose my life." He winked and left.
Sania shook her head sideways "pagal!!!"
Navya is irritated for the constant buzz of the calling bell and opened the door "Arey kaun hai? Kyon itna zore sey bazarahey hai?" She saw Anant at the door standing with one hand resting on the calling bell and other in his pockets.
"TUM!!!!!" Navya wondered what Anant is doing at his door at this time. He stared into her eyes carelessly and walked inside. She moved aside looking at him confusedly. Her heart started beating with unknown fear "Yeh abb iss waqt kya karney aaya hai? Does he know I'm alone? Mama aur Damini aunty toh iski hi ghar gaye they."
He checked all over and confirmed she is alone and turned to her "Looks like you are in deep nap. How can you sleep so peacefully? Do you know what's going around you?"
Navya is still confusingly looked at him and searched for words. He came close to her and she took steps backwards and stopped when she hit the wall. He placed his hands on her either side "Mere shadi ki baat chalaney Damini Aunty, tumhara pyarasa honeywali saas mere ghar gayi thi."
Navya hide her smile as she understood why Anant came here all of sudden "Congrats!!"She rubbed back of her ear giving chirpy looks at him.
Anant gave sharp looks at her and observed her rubbing hand behind ear. He stared into her eyes "How can they do this without knowing me? And how could you send your mother with her?"
She smiled and moved his hands and walked into kitchen "Fault is with you, Anant! You only showed interest in Shagun and aroused her desires on you." She turned back to him to see his twisted eyebrows and she continued talking while walking into the kitchen. "Tum usekey saat gaya tha, nacha tha. Everyone can easily notice how much you like her."
Anant irritated and grabbed her "I sang for you and wanted to dance with you. My eyes are on you. How come they don't notice that?"
Navya laughed and looked at him leaning her back to the kitchen platform and folding her hands "I'm engaged Anant! And Mein ek susheel aur sulakshan ladki hoon. None can expect me flirt with you" she blinked her eyes, rolled them, and stretched her lips. He bent on her placing his hands on her either side "So why do you scared to flirt with me?"
She awed and realized her mistake and searched for words blankly looking at him. He rose his eyebrows at her "Bolo, tum kuch bhi karein no one notice it? Beautiful, then we are free to do anything. I can stop the talks about my marriage and spend time with you." He rubbed his nose to her nose and kissed her forehead. She gasped and taken aback.
She turned other side "meri matlab wo nahin tha. They don't expect you flirt with an engaged girl."Anant stood straight removing his hands.
"Kya pivogey? Coffee ya tea?"
"How about lunch?"
She turned to him and nodded as understood "Khana lagati hoon, if you give me some time." Anant shook his head and leaned to the kitchen entrance watching her heating the dishes.
He helped her arranging everything on the dining table and she served food to both of them. He silently started eating. "Tum ghar mein akeli kya kar rahi hai? Tum kyon nahin gayi tumhari maa ke saaat mera baat chalaney?"
Navya looked mischievously at him "Jab tumhara engagement hogi na tab mein hi sab kuch karney wali soon. Abb badon ke baat badon sey hi karney deejiye"
Anant smiled "Khana tum banayi thi?"
She shook her head "some, I help mom, especially holidays mein."
"Kab tak hai holidays?"
"Bus kal tak, parsoon jana hai. Diwali tak har roz kuch na kuch cutti hojati hai. We hardly go to college."
Anant shook his head "Very tasty food. Pata hai, the way to a man's heart is through his stomach?"
Navya smiled mischievously and rolled her tongue at him "Tumhari heart ki rasta toh mujhey milchuki hai aur tumhari stomach satisfy karney ki jaroorat nahin"
Anant widened his eyes and smiled shaking his head sideways and giving side glance to her immersed in eating.
Navya frowned and realized her mistake again. "Ye mainey kya kehdi? Mujhey kya hojati hai iskay saamney?" she silently finished her lunch without daring to look into his eyes or talking to him.
Anant waited till she cleaned up everything. "Ab jaldi taiyyar hojao aur chalo mere saat"
Navya quizzically looked at him "Kahan?"
"mera ghar!" he paused and smiled at her fearful eyes "Tumhey kya lagta hai mein yahan tumhari haaton ki khana khaney aya hoon? I'll inform everyone about our love and cancel your engagement."
"Tum pagal hogaya hai kya? Sab log kya sochengey? Aur 'humarey pyar' ki baat kahan sey agaya?"
Anant smiled and cupped her face "you only said you already won my heart and no need of filling my stomach!! One of us should take initiative. Let me deal with this now. I want to inform Mom about us today before late."
Navya afraid, "Nahin, Anant! You are not doing this to me. I can't hurt Amar. Uska kya kasur tha? You are thinking wrong. Tumhara soch badal dalo. Yeh pyar, vyar chakkar chodo. Shagun is a nice girl. Marry her and be happy in life. I'm not made for you. I had already committed my life with Amar. Kismat jo likha hai wahi miljaati hai. "
Anant shook his head sideway "You are wrong. Meri kismet mein tum ho. You are my soul, my life. Tum sey alag honey ki soch bhi mujhey pagal bana deti hai. I can't live without you, Navya! You have to do this. Amar is not right person for you and you are not for him.
Navya is searching for words and thinking how to convince him and she heard phone ring.
Anant relieved her and she took the phone. "Haan, Maa! Mein abhi khaliya hai." Anant walked to her and circled from behind and leaned chin to her shoulder to hear the phone. Neeta is asking her on other side to come over to a boutique where she and Damini were waiting for her to choose a dress for "Karva Chaut" occasion. Navya tried to move him and answered the call. "Nahin, Maa! Abb mein nahin aaoongi. Mujhey mood nahin hai. Mujhey koyi dress nahin lena. I don't want any."
Neeta is begging her "Please, Navya! Ek minute aakar choose karlo. Nahin toh tumhari saas kuch na kuch khareedlegi and you have to wear it. Wo iss saal tumsey bhi vrat rakhna chahti hai Amar ke liye. Sugandha aunty ne vada kiya ki who sab kuch sambhalegi. You have to obey this. Chalo, jaldi taiyyar hokar aajao and we will be waiting for you here."Neeta hung up the phone.
Anant surprisingly looked at her "Karva chaut?" yeh kya hota hai?" Navya briefly explained about the significance of the vrat "unmarried Punjab girls bhi achisi husband ke liye vrat rakhtey hai. Damini aunty toh Amar ke liye shadi ke pehley hi mujhsey vrat rakhvana chahti hai."
Navya tried to remove his hands as he is tightening his grip "Toh iss saal tum mere liye karo."
Navya widened her eyes "Anant! Tum chaley jaao, tum din pe din pagal hota jaaraha hai. Mujhey toh yeh pyar se jada obsession lagta hai"
Anant relieved her "wohi samjho, mujhey koyi objection nahin hai. Kuch bhi sochlo humara shadi toh hotey raegi. Chalo let me drive you to boutique and talk to your mother."
Navya worriedly looked at him. Anant sighed "you don't want to tell about us and you don't let me tell. How would this problem be solved?"
Navya stood silently biting her lower lip. He removed her lip from her teeth "Don't torture this, yeh mera haq hai"
Navya reddened her face and turned away from him. He turned her face to him "Chaley?"
Navya got ready in yellow and white printed silk chudidhar and followed him as she has no other option.
Anant drove her to the boutique as she directed him. He stopped her before getting out of car and showed a sari on the mannequin. It wore a maroon silk sari with green border and zari embroidery all over the sari.
"That looks pretty, it suits you. Yeh tumhari pehli 'Karva Chaut" ke liye khareedlo. He removed his purse and gave a bunch of notes to her. She hesitatingly looked at him and he put the money in her purse "This is my gift, pehla gift."
Navya worriedly looked at him but walked inside silently. Anant parked the car and waited inside for Navya to come out. Damini and Neeta bought two saris in yellow and blue colors of latest designs.
"Aur kuch logi Navya? If you like any more saris," Neeta asked and Navya looked at the sari on mannequin. Damini smiled "you liked it? Amar likes that color too and you must take it." She ordered the shop keeper to pack that one also without thinking. Navya paid money for that sari giving excuse that she wants to buy on her own savings. She noticed Anant waiting for her while they are paying for the saris. Navya worried and planned excuses to go back home with him.
Neeta asked Navya to accompany them to pick up the ordered pots for the event and Navya excused as she wants to go home. Navya looked at Anant who stood leaning to his car folding his hands.
She turned to Neeta "Maa, please aap jaayiye na. What will I do there? I take those packets and leave." Damini convinced Neeta and Neeta gave her packets also to Navya and left with Damini.
Navya slowly walked to Anant's car and he started the engine.She placed all packets in the back seat and sat in the car. She handed one packet to him and lowered her eyes. He checked the bag to see the sari he liked. He kissed the sari and bent to take her face in his right hand. "ThanQ" he whispered and kissed her cheeks.
She lowered her eyes and handed the balance of his money. He smiled and softly refused "Mera sab kuch tumhara hi hai, Navya! Keep it. Kuch aur khareedlo, matching jewelry, anything you like." He kissed her hands and pressed to his heart. He stared into her confused and tearful eyes and patted her cheeks "I make everything right, trust me."
He placed the bag at back seat and started the car and switched on his stereo.
Navya looked at him when listening to the song. He smiled at her and winked "perfect song!!" she blushed and turned her looks out of the window. Many questions surrendered her mind. Her heart is craving for his closeness and mind is reminding her responsibility towards her family and new relationship.
Hum tumse na kuchh keh paaye
Tum humse na kuchh keh paaye...2
Lagta hai darr ye baat ye dil ki
Dil mein na reh jaaye
Tum suno gaur se kya keh raha hai sama
Humnashi chhed do chaahat bhari dastaan
Kitne dinon tak kuchh na bataaye
Tum humko tadpaaye...Hum tumse na kuchh keh paaye
Pyaar kya hai sanam tum humko samjha gaye
Faasle na rahe itne kareeb aa gaye
Dekho hamari khushboo tumhaari
Saanson ko mehkaaye...Hum tumse na kuchh keh paaye
Raat bhar jaagkar karvat badalte thay hum
Kya kahein kis tarah dilbar machalte thay hum
Kaise batayein tanha akele...Hum kitna ghabraaye

"sach much mujh sey door chaley jaaogi? You don't love me? Can't you take a dare step to leave Amar? How could I save my love, Navya?" She moved her head sideways and circled his neck. He covered her by circling his hands around her as in tight grip. She started sobbing loudly and he hugged her close. Both consoled each other in tight embrace.
Navya's sobs came to a stall and he started softly kissing her face. Navya looked at him helplessly and he grabbed her lips not giving any more chance to her to escape. He lifted her to his bedroom as kissing her lips and tying both tongues. She lost control unknowingly in his pampering. He lost his control with a fear of losing her from his life.
Part: 15
Navya broke her sleep when Ananya's tiny hands touched her cheeks. "Mamma! Why are you crying? I love you!!" Navya smiled and wiped her tears and took Ananya in tight embrace. "I love you too! I just got a dream sweety! I'm fine. Sojao" She again put Ananya in sleep asking about her day with grandparents. In five minutes Ananya went to sleep again in Navya's warm arms.
Navya remembered depressive Anant in Nimisha's house.. "Kitna daring step liya tha thumney, Anant! Tumhara jindagi ko tumhara haaton se hi barbaad kardala. Itna pyar karta tha magar kissi ko keh nahi paya. I wish you could tell your parents before committing this MISTAKE. Mere liye tum jindagi bhar adhura rehgaya. Why couldn't you move forward in life? Tum pehley se hi jaanta tha mein kissi aur ki amanat banchuki thi. I couldn't save myself from this marriage. I was committed to the relationship, Anant! I'm so sorry. I couldn't come into your life. I couldn't wait for you." She silently sobbed and pulled Ananya more close and kissed her forehead. She went back to sleep and into past again.
Past:
Navya woke up and checked surroundings. Her heart is still beating fast. She felt sultry. Anant is sleeping over her. He is face down under the pillow besides her. His left hand around her waist and left leg tangled with her left leg. Both are uncovered, neither blanket nor their dresses seemed around them. Navya became red and embarrassed to see herself naked with Anant and warm tears rolled over her corners of eyes. She wiped and slowly removed his hand and leg without disturbing him. She checked the time from Anant's wrist watch as 10 and covered him till waist with blanket. Anant is in deep sleep and couldn't even move an inch. She gathered her clothes and walked into bathroom. She quickly wore them and combed her tangled hair and washed face fast and came into the bed room. She walked to the closet and took his blue button down sweater and covered herself. All buttons of her kurtha were broke coz of Anant's rough handling. She covered her head with dupatta and bid bye to Anant silently in her mind and walked out to exit. She folded her red sari and put it in the bag. She once stared at Anant's bedroom with tearful eyes and walked out with all her packets locking the door behind her. She took a taxi and reached her apartment.
"Mama kya kehegi? Iss sweater ko lekey kitnay sawal karti hai. Hope she won't call Sania to check about me. If so, Sania kya kehti hogi? What would Sania think about me and Anant? Why this happened? Why Anant carried away with his emotions? Why is he so scared to lose me? Couldn't he convince his parents? Can't convince them to approach mamma and papa? As a girl I couldn't tell mamma papa about us but kehti bhi kya? Mein toh ussey pyar toh nahin ki. I controlled my senses but why couldn't he? Yeh kya hogaya hai? How could I come over this now? Could I able to talk to Amar about this? Kya kahungi ussey? That I love Anant? I consummated the relationship? What will I tell him? Mamma, papa... kaisey muh dikhaoongi abb?"
"Madam kahan jaana hai?" Taxi driver yelled at Navya and she startled at him. "Mein kabsey pukar raha hoon, madam! Aap toh kahin kho gayi thi? Kahan jaana hai aapko?"
Navya recovered quickly and said the address. She postponed thinking about the situation and got down the taxi. She realized Anant money is still in her purse. She opened the door with her extra key and stepped inside with heavy heart praying her parents doesn't attack her. She slowly cat walked to her room and noticed a note on the center table. She read it and sighed loudly. Neeta left a note saying she and Mishra are going out to Damini's house for dinner and will be back late night. She asked Navya to finish her dinner and take a nice sleep as she has to get up early for 'Karva Chaut' on next day. Navya locked her door and sat on the floor near the door. Her eyes started rolling tears out of relief about her parents. She rested her head into knees and recollected everything from Anant' visit till night. She cursed herself for going with him after shopping.
"Khaash mein mama ke saat gayi hoti. Why did I drawn towards Anant? Gayi toh bhi kyon wo sari dikhayi? Aakhir mujhey kyon wo sari kareedna tha? Why couldn't I stop the thought? Why did I allow him to kiss me? What happens to me in front of him? Why can't I bluntly refuse him? Why did I lose in front of him? How did I allow him to touch me. Kya hai uski baahon mein." Navya's body became warm remembering his touch. She caressed her lips, cheeks, eyes, forehead, hair, thorat, neck and whole body. Her eyes are flowing tears constantly. "Kya hogaya tha mujhey? Kyon mein apni aap ko ussey somp di. Why couldn't I control my senses?" she started sobbing loudly. "Why couldn't I stop him?" she covered her face in her palms and cried out loudly cursing herself. She didn't realize when did she fell asleep.
Neeta's continuous knock on the door wake her up. She opened her eyes with force as they are stick together. Her head is spinning and throat felt stuck. She tried to wet her dry lips and checked the surroundings. She fell asleep on the floor near the door. She recollected last night and checked the time now in the wall clock. It is showing 4:30. "Rotey Rotey yahin sogayi thi?" She heard again bang on the door and worried tone of Neeta, "Navya! Navya! Utho beti!"
Navya gathered her voice and slowly answered in husky and drowsy voice "haan, Maa!" Neeta sounded happy "darwaja kholo beti!" Navya got up and set herself and opened the door. Neeta shocked to see swollen Navya's eyes "Yeh kya haal banadi? Ye sweater kyon pehna? Yeh kiski hai? Bukar hogaya kya? Kal raat kab aayi thi? Sania ke ghar itni deir tak kabhi nahin gayi thi. Aakhir gayi kyon? Kaisey raha kal raat? Tumhara packets kahan hai?"
Navya sighed for her flow of enquiries and kept silent and handed the packets to her. "Jaldi taiyyar hokar neechey aaja. Meanwhile I will set your clothes. Wahan Sugandha aunty ke ghar mein sab log intezaar kartey hongey."Neeta sounded excited for the festive.
Navya walked into the bathroom silently after Neeta left. She took her brush and stunned to see her reflection in the mirror before putting brush into mouth. Her eyes filled tears again. Her face is swollen near eyes coz of constant tears. Her lips are broken in some places and swollen a little with Anant's bites. She caressed her lips, tears escaped from eyes and cheeks reddened thinking about his touch. Goosebumps spread all over her body. She ran her fingers through her neck to touch the bruises. She removed his sweater and put aside on the counter and closed the bathroom door. She removed her kurtha and checked her body. Her upper chest, stomach, shoulders, biceps has his teeth marks. She caressed them with tearful eyes. Her body felt little shivers when a strange pain ran over her spine and goose bumps building over the body. She closed her eyes and felt his touch by cuddling herself "Anant!!" She muttered with sweet pain "Do I love him?"and couldn't stop sobbing. "Kyon aisa hua humaray saat? Why did you break like this? Kuch control karpata." She sat near the wall and sobbed for few minutes. She cried till lost energy to do anymore. She didn't eat anything after lunch yesterday. She felt hungry all of sudden and her stomach is growling.
Neeta gave another call reminding the time. Navya got up slowly gathering energy and took shower over head. While hot water going over she felt relieved and her tears also started flowing along with shower. "Main abb kya karoon? Where should I start? Shall I tell mom everything? Shall I take Sania's help as she knows about us yesterday? Nimisha sey kahoon? Shagun? Kya kahungi uss sey? I was very strong willed girl in their opinion and now besahara banker ussey madat maangoo? Yeh kahan khada diya mujhey, Anant?" she got anger, felt helpless, frustration, irritation everything mixed together. She would have killed Anant if he comes in front of her now.
Neeta's another reminder brought her out. She wore black with red border south cotton silk chudidhar with high collar and three fourth sleeves to cover her bruises. She left hair open to dry it. She took milk from fridge and Neeta warned her. "Yeh kya Navya? Mein kal batayi thi na Damini wants you to observe vrat? Abb kuch mat kha. Chalo mere saat puja karo and we leave for Sugandha aunty's house by 8."
Navya without uttering a word followed Neeta till she reached Bajpai house. Bajpai house is filled with festive glow as Nimisha, Shagun singing, dancing, and moving around busily with arrangements. They warmly welcomed Navya and took inside "Kahan kho gayi maharani? You must have a mobile for your own now. We were missing you yesterday. We went to beauty parlor and ordered for mehendi today..." they constantly updating about the arrangements of present day's vrat.
Navya slowly came out of her dismay with their company.
Anant woke up at 10.30 and checked for Navya. He suddenly feared if she left. He dressed up, checked the whole house and confirmed she left. He called her home but no one responded. He thought to call Neeta but changed his mind and decided to check her home in person. He got ready fast and went to his apartment by 11.30. He found no one responding him. He decided to ask the neighbor and he got call from Om prakash fuming in the phone.
"Anant! How come you become so irresponsible? Yesterday whole day you were missing. Today till 11:30 you are not even turned up to office. What's going on? Do you know what crisis we are going through"
Anant who is already worrying about Navya got irritated "Dad! I'm coming there right now. Okay!" he headed direct to work thinking about Navya. He recollected last night union with Navya. "Navya! I love you. I won't keep quite now. Before late, I will tell mom about us. We should get married and I definitely don't let you go with Amar. You are mine, made for me."
Om prakash gave order to him by lunch time, "You and Sania are leaving by tomorrow early hour's flight. Here are the tickets. Ghar jaakar taiyyar hojaao and I'll call Kabir for other arrangements."
Anant held his head and heaved his breathe out. Sania surprised at his fallen face "Kya hua, Anant? Everyone excites to go to US and you are looking so dull?" she took the chair in front him "Lunch leliya?"
Anant shook his head 'no' and turned his eyes and covered his face in his hands to cover his feelings. He faintly looked at her "Where were you in the morning?"
She surprisingly looked at him "I was busy with work, and I was in my cabin only. Waisey tum kahan they? Aaj late aya hai?" Sania expected something wrong. "Kya hua Anant? Kal bhi gayab tha. Kiskey saat raha? Aaj itna depressive kyon lag raha hai?"
Anant sadly looked at her "Subah sey Navya ko contact karney ki khoshish kar raha hoon, pata nahin kahan gayi thi. I couldn't contact her." Sania confused at his disappointment "Navya? Ussey kya lena dena? Why do you worry about her all of sudden?" she paused and stared into his eyes "Don't tell me that you were with Navya last night."
Anant gave faint look at her and shook his head and turned his eyes away from her. "I was with her. We were together." Sania's breathe stopped and looking unbelievingly at him. He stared into her eyes "I ...I...We consummated our relationship." Sania stopped gasp by covering her mouth and slowly walked to his side and dropped her hand on his shoulder "What were you saying, Anant? Are you crazy? Yeh kab, kasiey hua? When you both were started dating, I mean liking each other? I know you are crazy behind her but Navya!! I don't believe she does this. What will she answer to Amar? Kya hogaya hai tum donon ko? I can't believe this? I can't believe Navya aisi kar sakti hai!!"
Anant rubbed his forehead with fingers "Navya ki galati nain hai, Sania! I made her surrender, I seduced her, I forced her. I was scared to lose her and I confessed this way before I go. I want her to wait for me. I want her to break her engagement. I don't know, I can't think of anything else. I'm madly in love with her. I need her. I need her forever."
He paused and wiped his tears and looked at Sania "Sania! Can you call her mom and enquire about Navya? I want to know if she is fine. I tried but I don't know where to search for her. I went to her house but it is locked. I didn't see Mishra ji also. Pata nahin, pura family ko kya hoagaya hai. I don't think Navya could ever disclose this to her family. I only have to take initiative. Ek baar Navya miljaay, mein ussey Mom ke paas lejaana chahta hoon. I want to tell mom everything."
Sania patted his shoulder "You did a big blunder, Anant! You should have told me. Actually you showed your interest but I took it easy. I should have warned Amar or Navya or Damini or Neeta or atleast Sugandha ji or atleast Om prakash. You really put the situation at the edge of everyone's prestige." She walked to her seat and suddenly asked, "Did you call Nimisha?" Anant shook his head and Sania enquired and found about the puja and Navya.
Anant jumped in his seat "Oh God, Sania! This totally slipped from my mind. Kal wo ek sari bhi kareedli mere pasand ki. I have to go now. Can you be with me tonight in my house? Please!!"
Sania smiled "Friends hotey kiss liye?" Anant blushed "Chalo, hum chaltey hai. I can't wait to see Navya now."
Sania laughed and followed him. "Mein bhi December mein shadi ki date fix karney ki soch rahi hoon, Anant! Kabir is not going to wait anymore."Sania informed in the elevator about her future plans of her wedding.
Anant is in good mood and lifted Sania and turned once and dropped her down "Hum donon ek hi saat shadi karengey. Nahin, I can't wait till December, I'll marry as early as possible, soon after returning from US, bus mom sey sab kuch aaj hi bata deta hoon."
Sania smiled and slapped his shoulder playfully, "khaash tum Navya sey pehley hi miljata, humey ek haseen prem kahani sunney ko milta."
Anant blushed. Sania bid bye "I'll pack my things and reach your house by 6."
Anant shook his head and hesitantly asked her "Sania! I need a favour!" Sania teasingly smiled at him "Abb kya hai? Tumhara ghar toh aarahi hoon na"
Anant nodded his head "wo baat nahin, I want to buy a gift for Navya. Some gold ..Which store is good?"
Sania showed one shop in the same complex "go there. They are reliable and reasonable. Waisey kya khareedna chahtey ho?"
Anant searched for words "wo...something" he blushed for Sania's suspicious looks "mangal sutre...tum madat karogi?"
Sania opened her mouth with shock "Anant! Lagta hai you directly going to tie the knot"
Anant nodded his head seriously "Haan, Sania! Jo shadi ke baad karna tha wo darr ke maari pehley kardiya tha. I don't want her to embarrass in front of anyone. I don't want to leave her in depression while I'm in US. I want to tell everyone now immediately."
Sania smiled "I'm glad you realized your mistake atleast immediately. You can buy and I'll help you for it. But I don't think you get opportunity to say anything now as there will be everyone around your family coz of Karva Chaut."
Anant agreed "Let me see, I want to take the first opportunity to disclose our relationship"
They both selected a two row black beads with mangalsutras engulfed in the middle of diamonds and rubies.
They both headed in different directions.
Part: 16
Anant is in cloud9 till he reached the house. His heart is beating fast making him impatient. He saw his house filled with many guests mainly many women. Nimisha, Shagun shouting and screaming in joy and other girls laughing when they are painting their hands with different designs in mehendi.
His eyes searched for Navya but he couldn't find her. Damini, Sugandha and Neeta are arranging something with some pots and Dadi is instructing them about the ritual. Om prakash, Deepak Mishra and other men are chatting in a corner wearing the Indian traditional attire.
He walked upstairs and changed his clothes into maroon sherwani and came down. He checked the box with the mangalsutra and put it in the pocket. He greeted everyone but his eyes are still searching for Navya.
Around 6 Sania came and greeted everyone. She reassured him moral support by gesture and walked inside. He whispered as he couldn't see Navya anywhere. She smiled at him and pressed his hand in friendly way assuring him.
She found Navya in Saraswathi's room peeling her dried mehendi. She looked gorgeous in maroon sari which she bought on Anant's wish. She wore big choker with ruby and pearl and gold. She wore red and gold bangles on both hands and decorated like a bride. Sania reached her and admired her beauty. She kissed her forehead and stared into her eyes. Her eyes lost glow and reflecting the sorrow behind her heart. Navya tried to hide her sorrow and smiled forcefully at her. Sania caressed her cheeks as reciprocating her smile. Navya guessed Anant might have updated her something. "Did he share about their consummation too?" She wondered if their friendship is that closer.
Around 6:30 everyone gathered on the terrace. Sania took responsibility of Navya and everyone got position of their pots, thali and other items for the actual ritual. Almost 15 pairs stood in a line and Sania took Navya in a corner away from everyone.
Navya is not in a mood to notice all this and performing the vrat mechanically. Her mind is totally filled with Anant and their consummation night. She is still rehearsing to break the engagement. Her mind is tossing between Anant and Amar. She is observing vrat and fasting for Amar for name sake but her mind is filled with Anant.
She didn't crave for food, water not even once. Everyone teased her determination for welfare of her would-be husband, Amar. Damini felt proud for her. She couldn't enjoy any of those teases. Her mind is roaming around Anant, cursing him, herself. "Khaash wo sab kuch nahin hota aaj mein bhi khulkar hasee hoti." Tear drop stood at the corner of her eyes.
Saraswathi as an elderly lady is supervising everything. All men got possession in front of respective wives. Damini took the responsibility of Shagun and Nimisha as they are still married. All sacred pots are filled with bangles, haldi kumkum, make-up items like kajal, bindiya, flowers and other feminine things which are used to offer to Maa Parvati. Saraswathi announced moon showing out and everyone got their sieves out to see the moon through them. They lit the sacred lamps and put in the sieve and lifted the sieves to the moon.
Sania helped Navya to do so. Saraswathi is watching everyone to follow the rituals religiously. Everyone moved the sieve to see their respective husbands. Damini teased the unmarried girls to imagine their dream boys. Nimisha teased "Aunty! Aap Amar ka photo layi ki nahin? Bechari Navya ko toh apni dream boy ko hi dekhna padega." Everyone laughed and religiously immersed in their duty.
Navya filled tears and Sania pressed her shoulders to console her. Navya lowered her eyes and sighed under breath. She is about to remove the sieve and found Anant standing in front of her. She saw him through sieve and dropped tears. He smiled and walked close to her and moved the sieve down and wiped her tears. She hiccupped a sob as her eyes again filling tears. He shook his head sideways to stop her tears "you are looking gorgeous, Navya! Thanks for wearing the sari."
Sania took the thali and gave her "Finish before anyone notices."
She mechanically washed his feet with her tiny hands, sprayed the water on her head and Anant's eyes escaped tears. Sania pressed his shoulder to console him. Navya gave aarati to Anant and put sindoor on his forehead. She bit her lips together and tried to stop her tears. He wiped her tears again and gave the water to break her fast on Sania's gesture. She drank the water and opened mouth for the food. Sania smiled and told Anant to feed her peda. He smiled and put a piece of peda in her mouth. She bit the peda half and ate. He put the other half in his mouth winking at her with tear filled eyes. She smiled at him with tears with unknown satisfaction.
Sania smiled at them "Kitney pagal hai yeh donon, behut pyar kartey hai, but realized in wrong time. Wish they both get together soon." Anant removed the box from his pocket and dropped in the thali "Tumhari liye mera gift". She surprisingly looked at him and he removed the mangalsutra from it. "I love you, Navya!" he whispered and put the mangalsutra around her neck and he kissed her cheeks. She is shocked and he caressed her cheeks "You are my wife, no one could separate us." Navya tried to stop her sobs and ran inside before anyone notices them.
Saraswathi as checking everything shocked to see them and stood still unbelieving her eyes. Sania and Anant didn't notice her. Sania gestured him to go inside behind Navya and she followed him. Dadi silently followed them as everyone else immersed in the ritual. Anant walked inside and searched for Navya. He found her in Dadi's prayer room and approached sobbing Navya.
Anant lifted her face and stared at her with soulful eyes. Both looked into each other eyes exchanging sympathy. Navya couldn't stop her sobs and hiccups. He wiped her tears and bent to kiss her cheeks. She slapped him hard and pushed him down. As he didn't expect the act, he couldn't control himself and fell down on the floor. She sat in front of him and slapped his two cheeks few times and started crying. She started yelling at him with low tone "What are you thinking about you, Anant? Why did you this to me? Tujehy pata hai abb natiza kya nikalega? Do you know the consequences of this? Have you ever think about how much are you hurting people around you? And you are expecting I tell everyone about us. Kya hai humara beech mein. Tumhara harkat ke siva humarey beech mein kuch bhi nain hai. Yeh sab tumhara obsession hai. Abb tuhi sochlo kya karogey. Tuhi kuch hal nikaalo. Tu hi sab ko yeh baat batao. You ..you are only going to do whatever have to do." She stopped to take breath and wiped her tears and pulled him by holding his collar "What do you think by wearing this mangalsutre I become yours? Nahin, Anant! Bina Saat phere humdonon ek dooserey ko kuch bhi nahin lagtay. Now you take initiative and tell everyone about us. If you don't tell you are going to lose me. Lose me as long as you keep quite. Mein kuch nahin kahungi kisse se bhi nahin. It's your turn to get me in your life. Tumara pyar, tumhara commitment sab kuch vahi khatam hoga jaha tum ruktey ho." She got up and wiped her tears and took steps passing him. She turned to him with tears and removed her mangalsutre and put around his neck and kissed his cheek "keep this for yourself"
She is hiccupping and kicked his leg "I hate you!"
She ran out of the room. Anant stunned and stared her way for a few seconds to digest her words. He caressed his cheek and smiled "I love you, Navya! I will love you forever."
Anant turned his face when he felt a hand on his shoulder and startled to see Saraswathi. He wiped his tears turning his head away. "What's going on Anant? Yeh sab kya hai? Why Navya is slapping you? Why is she crying? What is there between you both?" Anant searched for words as swallowing "Kuch.." he stopped and decided to confess now "I love Navya, Dadi! I madly love her. I love her crazy. I want to marry her. I need her. I need her for life Dadi!" he wiped his tears and held her hands "Dadi! Aap help karengey? Aap mom aur dad se keengey? Please dadi! I don't know if I could tell them before I leave for US. But please stop her wedding with Amar. I want to marry her."He couldn't disclose about their consummation.
Dadi is shocked and sat on the floor beside him to compose herself slowly. She slowly uttered each word out "Do you know what are you saying ,Anant? She is engaged and you want to break the engagement. Do you know how absurd is this? You are going to break two, no, three families' trust, friendship and prestige."
Anant interfered "Dadi! I know all that. But I have no option. I love her and I can't live without her. I have to get her in my life. Mein Amar ka commitment aur pyar nahin jaanta. Navya also loves me. She is tied with family obligations but I can see my love in her eyes. We want to be together. Please, Dadi help me."
After few minutes of arguments and conversation Dadi decided to speak to all parents and promised Anant to tackle the situation. Anant kissed her hand and thanked.
By the time they walked out Navya is chatting with her friends. She looked relieved and her eyes are twinkling with smile. Dadi looked at Navya and noticed her eyes tied with Anant's. She noticed Anant's passion on her in Dasserah days but she ignored it in the next moment. She walked to Sugandha and Om prakash. Anant stood and watched Navya without moving his eyes away. She met his eyes and twisted her lips. He caressed his mangalsutra which he hid behind his collar. Her cheeks blushed and lowered her eyes. He felt relieved and sighed along with smile. She lifted her eyes at him and smiled with chirpy looks rolling her tongue inside as challenging him. He bit his lower lip, held his hands on waist and walked towards her. She gulped and checked the girls around her and shook her head as pleading him. She slowly moved her hands and pretended setting her strands on either side of her face and held her ears. He smiled with tears. She smiled and dropped her tears and got up from there to walk away inside.
"SURPRISE!!" Everyone turned their heads for the big yell and shocked and surprised to see Amar at the door. Shagun ran to him "Bhai!! Tum kab aye ho? You should have come little early, Bhai! You missed Navya's fasting break. She couldn't see you through sieve."
Damini and Neeta walked to him and expressed the same feeling. Amar apologetically looked at Navya and greeted everyone else. Navya is socked and swallowed her tears and helplessly looked at Anant. Anant realized the fact now. She is engaged to Amar. He came in between and trying to grab Navya from Amar. "But she is made for me; I should get her any cost."
Amar walked to Navya and Neeta signaled her to touch his feet. Navya unwillingly bent and touched his feet. "Arerey yeh kya, Navya! I don't encourage this."
Damini interfered "Yeh rivaz hai beta! Aaj patni pati ke liye vrat rakhtey hai aur pati ki puja ke baad hi vrat chodti hai."
Amar smiled and sat besides Navya."Mom! I have to leave for Belgium next Monday. It's fixed all of sudden and I have to report there within a week. So, I came to pack all my things soon and see my wife before leaving." Navya is still under shock and gave a fake smile but her eyes filled tears. Amar hugged her with one hand and wiped her tears "Don't worry, Navya! I come back and marry you. It's only two month project."
Anant clinching his teeth as Amar mentioned 'wife' and walked away from there.
Everyone mingled cracking with jokes exchanging gifts. Amar gave Navya a necklace set with different color beads. Anant tried to tell Sugandha but both his parents are busy with guests.
Amar stayed with Navya all the time through dinner cracking jokes and teasing her along with Shagun and Nimisha.
Om prakash also didn't give any chance to Anant to mention about his decision. Dadi reassured "Amar toh abb do mahina ke liye Belgium hokar ayega. Wo wapas aney tak sab ko sab kuch samjhayengey. You don't worry and have a safe trip to US."
Around 11, Anant bid bye to Saraswathi with tear filled eyes. He bid bye to Navya touching his mangalsutra as promising her to keep his word. He bid everyone and left along with Sania to the airport.
