Scene 9

Ramesh was sitting on the floor of the balcony in Nisha's room,deep in thought.Nisha was sitting beside him ,gazing at the countless stars which were twinkling brightly like sparkling glitter in the black canvas of the night sky.Ramesh looked at Nisha who was still gazing at the sky,the twinkle of the stars reflecting in her eye.He couldn't imagine how his daughter must have felt sacrificing her future for her family.

"Nishu..."he called affectionately.Nisha turned and faced him with a smile...a smile that did not reach upto her eyes.Ramesh could clearly see her inner turmoil.After all that she had told her ,he knew that she was seriously not prepared for marriage and was just nodding a yes for the sake of family's reputation.Ramesh looked at her for a long moment ,her eyes seemed to wander here and there...never having the courage to look at him directly.He knew from her face that all she wanted now was a few comforting words.

"Sorry pappa.."Nisha started saying,the hurt very evident on her face.

"Shhh...!no sorries...ok?"Ramesh interrupted.

A lone tear escaped Nisha's eyes as she realized her fault.She did not think about her parents when she took such a huge decision ...and there he was...her father...still loving her unconditionally.

"Arey!what is this?My happywaala gaana doesn't cry...Now tell me quickly...You are my happywaala gaana right?"Ramesh asked sounding like he was trying to convince a sad baby.

Nisha immediately nodded her head in a yes.The one thing that she was always greedy for was her father's affection.His love for her was pure,unconditional and unfathomable.

Lakshmi entered the room with tray having three cups of black tea.She waited near the door and watched the cute scene between the father-daughter duo.Tears welled up in her eyes...but this time...it was tears of happiness.The affection and care a father has for his daughter and innocent love the daughter returned him simply warmed her heart.She stood there,thinking how life would have been if there were no problems...how "normal life" would have been.The word "normal" sounded meaningless ever since the press conference.So much had happened in so little time that she could no longer separate the real from the unreal.She yearned for a normal life...where she can go on watching her husband and daughter like this...every other day.She finally stepped out of her trance and walked into the room.

"Good girl!so no more tears, no more cries...now give pappa a sweet littlle smile"said Ramesh ,and wiped Nisha's tears with his thumb.Nisha managed a smile...and this time,her smile was genuine.Ramesh cupped her face and smiled too.

"Offo!you people never include me in your talks...and I am really upset with that"Lakshmi said,entering with the tray.She kept the tray down and and stood in the corner,acting as if she was disappointed.Ramesh looked at Nisha and Nisha gave a knowing glance.

"Will you like to join this conversation,Mrs Ramesh Gangwal"Ramesh said in a sarcastic tone faking formality.

"No...I won't come until you both say sorry" Lakshmi said adamantly.Ramesh and Nisha had no other option.They got up and went near Lakshmi.

"Sorry !"Ramesh and Nisha said together,both of them sounding like small kids who were caught red-handed for stealing chocolate from the refrigerator. Lakshmi couldn't act anymore.She burst out laughing.Ramesh and Nisha joined in the laughter .The trio drank tea and chatted for a while.

"Ok...time for sleep!"Ramesh announced."Bye Nishu...Ramesh said and both of them left the room.Nisha cuddled up in her bed and closed her eyes,shutting out all the bad things had happened .All she remembered now was her parents and the time she spent with them.It was one hectic day and she felt weary.Her eyelids felt heavy .She closed her eyes and was sleeping soundly in a few minutes.

Nisha opened her eyes and saw that she was standing in the dark...there was no one around.She looked around...white curtains were hanging in all possible directions,encircling her.She looked at herself.She was in her school uniform...her hair was tied up in a ponytail.She looked around ,hoping to find someone.No one.She walked around and moved one of the curtains.Dead end.No way out.She walked up to the next one and moved another curtain.Again...dead end.Suddenly she heard voices...voices that she didn't recognize...voice of the society...voices who had one same motive...to taunt her.

"Ms Nisha ,your relationship with Viraj Singh Rathode..."

Nisha jolted and looked at the direction of the voice.No one...

"Marriage is the only solution"

Dadaji's voice echoed...she turned and looked...no...he was not there...She grew panicky .Sweat beads started forming on her forehead.She moved from one curtain to other,searching for the source of the voice.

"You shameless creature!!!"again a voice echoed.

"You are the cause of all problems..."Viren,this time.

Suddenly she saw thousands of people all around her...some faces she recognised,some- she didn't.Some were her family members.The people started abusing her,they laughed at her,taunted her.The faces that she knew were scolding her amidst all these .Reporters were talking loudly on the microphone in different pitches and tones.She saw a thousand microphones in front of her,reporters waiting eagerly to capture her version of story.She screamed loudly ,begging everyone to stop the nonsense.Her eyes searched for her parents in the crowd,but they were nowhere to be seen.No one paid any heed.She started crying -cameras flashed and captured every moment in photographs. Someone came forward from the crowd and moved towards her with vermillion in his hands.He came towards her and started to apply that on her hair partition."No...I don't want to marry"she said...No one listened.The guy came closer."No..please...no...NOOO!!!!!!"she screamed .Suddenly everything blacked out.

Nisha sat up on the bed,panting heavily.She looked around...she was still in her room.She switched on the bed light .Light flooded the room.She gulped water down her throat and tried to calm down.But the dream was taking a toll on her.She looked at the side of the bed and saw Ramesh sitting on the floor,resting his head on the wall and sleeping.He had not gone...he was afraid to leave her alone after all that had happened.Nisha slowly got up from her bed and went near Ramesh.She sat down next to Ramesh and rested her head on his shoulder.He woke up and looked at her,clearly surprised to see her awake in the middle of the night.

"Nisha?what happened dear?why are you sweating?Any nightmare?"Ramesh asked ,concerned about her.

"Pappa...media...dadaji...marriage...I...I ...pappa...white... curtains"Nisha started saying words that didn't make any sense to Ramesh.She was breathing heavily and was still sweating.

"Relax...!Nisha relax"he said cupping her face.It was just a dream.Nothing real ,ok?You are absolutely safe."Ramesh said and smiled.

Nisha nodded,her breathing became normal again.But she kept looking around to see if anyone was there.Ramesh noticed this.He made her lie on the lap and started stroking her hair.

"Pappa will sing a song for my happywaala gaana...go to sleep...no one is going to hurt you"

"Pappa..."Nisha said slowly...

"What Nisha?You want to tell something?"

"Pappa...please don't leave me...please pappa"Nisha said,her eyes widening with fear.Ramesh smiled.

"No...I wont leave you Nisha...I assure you that"Ramesh said.He knew that Nisha was afraid about the marriage...she is just expressing it this way.

Ramesh started to hum a song and Nisha closed her eyes.She gradually fell asleep.

"What happened?"Lakshmi bursted into the room,visibly tensed.

"Is she alright?I saw light in this room when I was going to kitchen to fill water in the jug."She sat near Ramesh.

"Shhh Lakshmi...she is sleeping...speak softly"Ramesh warned her.

"Ramesh...tell me what happened.?Nightmare?She saw the same old nightmare?Anything to worry?"Lakshmi asked,sounding anxious and nervous.

"Seems so...from the way she described it...I don't know Lakshmi...She is so shaken up...All these incidents have left a deep scar in her.She needs time to heal herself..."Ramesh said in a hushed whisper.

"She is not ready for marriage"Lakshmi said the obvious truth .Ramesh nodded in a yes.

"She is not...and I am going to make sure that she won't be forced.I don't care if I have to go against everyone in the family...but I am going to make sure that marriage wont happen.It will happen only when she is ready for it"Ramesh said and paused.He seemed to think deeply for a minute,trying to search for the right words.

"I won't let her be another Ramesh and sacrifice everything for others.I don't want her to follow my path.She will do what is right for her.I will make sure of that"Ramesh said in a determined voice.Lakshmi gave Ramesh an assuring glance.They both looked at their daughter,sleeping like a angel on her father's lap,her face visibly calm,her hand still encircling Ramesh's hand.

Yaar Anu...How do you do it...Amazing work yar. I already said so..😆

RN scenes are always so endearing to read..and you portrayed their emotions and state of mind so well. Loved the part where Lakshmi just looks on at RN.

Last part and the nightmare waas well done...Just what was needed...Nicely written!
