"Sanam Bewafa" - A SAHIL - SEHAN Four Shot
Part 1
"Rehan...Rehan...No please. Listen to me. Rehan...I can explain...REHAN...!"
Suneheri woke up with a start. She was sweating and her whole body felt clammy. She sat up and covered her face with her hands. She had been having that dream again. Rehan had just proposed to her, and was slipping the ring on her finger. Just then the Police arrived with the jeweler she had robbed and tried to arrest her. She remembered Rehan's shock. The disappointment on his face. His words resonated with her.
"Maine kaha na...muje jhoot bardasht nahin".
Even still he had paid the jeweller his money and prevented her from being taken into custody. He had told her in no uncertain terms that they were over. Finished. She remembered how she had felt at that moment. Her whole world had come crashing around her. She had dared to dream. To dream of a better future. A normal life. The life she had fooled herself that she could live with Rehan. That month she had spent with him had been the most normal of her life. She had had a companion, a friend, and she had fallen in love. He made her feel special. Like she was a nice girl. Someone that he could see a future with! She had thought that she would marry him and have the sort of life she had for that month. Riding in the car with him, going shopping, cooking dinner, and watching TV. It all seemed so regular. But to her, it was such a departure from her normal life. Then she remembered Shushipal uncle's voice.
"Kya karalega tu? Shadi karlega? Kya such janne ke baad, Rehan tume apnayega?"
She remembered Rosie auntie's voice.
"Well done baby! Tum Rehan se koi love shuv nahin kartha? Tum toh use shadi karke, kuch dino ke baad use divorce dedega? Phir alimony main, uss ki ada jaidaad haraplega. Pure white money! Ek dum legal paysa?"
They had thought she was really trying to con Rehan. Marry him and get half his money as a divorce settlement? Well, the truth was it was SANAM that could do that? "Uss Aahil ko divorce de kar, uss ke yeh poori jaidaad ka ada le sakthi hain woh!" That way she can get away from that horrible Mother in law of her's and those nasty relatives of her witch of a Mother in law. That Billi and her minions wanted to kill Sanam? Can't Aahil SEE what sort of people they are? He seemed blinder than that Billi? His Mother. This house was full of liars and pretenders. How can Sanam STAND to live with these people? But I guess she stayed because of Aahil? It seems she loved him? She had seen how she cried for him at the hospital? He seemed to love her, and was devoted to her. However, it seemed that there was something going on between them? He kept asking her to tell him something? Referring to something he told her on the night of the Kohinoor launch? She didn't know what it was, but it seemed important?
She had felt really bad when he wanted her to launch that lantern into the air. She had felt the significance of it to Aahil. Like something similar had occurred between them before? He seemed to be totally in love with Sanam? So she had been surprised when he said.
"Tum woh sub bulado ke, humne khabi shocha ke hum ek duserain ke liye sahin nahin hain?"
It seems that the love he and Sanam shared was hard won? It didn't seem like this love had come to him easily? Even though Aahil was a Nawab and surrounded by the trappings of wealth, there seemed to be an air of almost melancholy around him? No matter how perfect the lives of wealthy people appeared from outside, the reality was not always how it appeared. Aahil's life is anything but perfect? After all, the wife he was madly in love with, was in fact missing. An impostor had taken her place, and what for? Money? It looks like money was the curse in his life? It took Sanam away from him, and he doesn't even know it? The irony of it all? She had always wanted money, and now she was having a first-hand experience of the life led by people who have a lot of money. It was not the life she had anticipated. Yes, money had its privileges. You didn't have the day to day worries of wondering how you were going to manage things. If you wanted to buy something, you could do it without too much thought? Money got Sanam the huge rock that her husband gave her, which at the moment was gracing HER finger? But money also took her away from her husband, who clearly adores her, and from what little she had seen, she felt the same way too? What a pity? The two sides of money. While giving with one hand, it takes away with another. Poor Sanam? Wonder where that Razia witches men were keeping her? "I Hope she is OK?"
Here she went again, feeling guilt, getting emotionally involved? Didn't she see what happened the last time she tried that? Nothing good had come out of it. If nothing else Rosie aunty had ever told her, then this much was true.
"Dande khi baath, heart par nahin lagathain".
Yes, pretending to be Aahil's wife was a tough gig. Coz this man actually wanted to spend time with his wife? So avoiding him was not that easy. She had never met a man so under his wife's spell? Didn't she see how easily she was able to sway Aahil to her way of thinking? All she had to do was smile with him, cup his cheek and tell him "Please...Mere Liye?" and he was willing to do anything? God that Sanam had a hold over this man! Like a death grip! He loved her so much. What must it be like to be loved like that? To be accepted unconditionally? After all, Rehan no matter what he had said about his feelings for her, had not accepted her unconditionally. He had been ready to MARRY her? But not ready to give her the benefit of the doubt? He didn't even want to hear her out, when she said she was going to tell him the truth before they were rudely interrupted? She didn't know if what Rehan felt for her had been love? Maybe she didn't know what love really was?
"Woh pyaar tha ya nahin, main nahin janthi...lekin pyaar woh hain, jo Aahil Sanam se kartha hain!"
How was she going to continue with this facade? How much longer before Aahil realises she is NOT Sanam? She was surprised he had not already? It seemed that Aahil thought Sanam was angry with him about something? He continued to make excuses for her behavior? It seems like he was trying to figure out, and then justify the changes in her? Was it that Aahil was so much in love with Sanam, that he was willing to take her in ANY form she presented herself in? Yeh Kaysa Ishq hain?
Yes she wanted her money. Since her breakup with Rehan she had decided that that is all she wanted from life now? But why was her conscience pricking her every time she saw Aahil look at her expectantly? That longing look he gave whenever he saw her? That longing was for Sanam! If this is his state, having her with him (as he thought) but just having distance between them, then what must Sanam's state be? Actually physically separated from him? It seemed that Aahil could barley handle their emotional distance? How must Sanam be tolerating being away from Aahil in actual fact? If she loved him even a little bit as much as he seemed to love her, then she must be going insane. Suddenly Suneheri didn't know if she could take it anymore? The guilt was eating at her. She didn't know how much longer she could keep this up? But one thing is for sure...she had to end this game as soon as possible. It was time to meet with that "Paan ki dukaan" Razia Bi. She was going to insist on her hurrying up her hair brained plan. She had to do this job and get out before someone got hurt. There was no guarantee that someone won't be her!
To be continued...
Hi all,
Just a drabble on the current storyline. I was thinking of doing about 3 shots. It is about how Sanam looks like a faithless wife at the moment, with the way she is behaving towards Aahil. But we all know she is not Sanam. I will conclude this in a few parts. Let me know what you guys think?
Thanks
Mandy
