CHAPTER 78. PRELUDE TO MEHENDI!

 

 

 

Day - 7 Thursday

Sheeshmahal

 

    "Hello! Miss Gupta!", a voice came out of nowhere making Khushi shriek. She turned around in surprise only to look away when she noticed that it was Arnav calling her. She was leaning on one of the numerous balconies in the house lost in her thoughts; hence Arnav's arrival had surprised her. She turned back to lean on the ledge again looking out wishing that Arnav would leave her alone and knowing that he would not. She was right! Soon, Arnav joined her by standing beside her mirroring her pose.

 

"Kya baat hai? Kuch bologi nahi?", Arnav prodded her.

Khushi looked away in annoyance. Why did this man not leave her alone? Hasn't he caused enough pain? Her eyes teared up as she remembered the way Arnav's haldi had got on her face, the questions that one action had caused in her heart. Already Khushi was reeling from her belief in her decision shaken; she did not need Arnav to prod her pain. She turned around to get away from Arnav when he piped up with his voice dripping with impishness, "Suno!"

Khushi stopped but did not turn around as her heart beat wildly. Now what are you going to say ASR?

"Suna hai ki mere naam ki haldi La ke bajaay tumhein lag gayi?", Arnav questioned and Khushi turned around in shock. How did he know?

Arnav shrugged nonchalantly as he explained, "Woh Geet apne Babaji ke saamne worry kar rahi thi, tab maine sun liya!"

Khushi turned away and bit her lip unsure on what to say.

But it seemed that Arnav did not expect any comment from her as he came close to her and whispered in her ear, "Dekha tumne Khushi! Even Devi Maiyya wants us together!"

Khushi's eyes widened as Arnav unknowingly acknowledged one thing that was worrying her. Was he right? Was she doing a mistake by sacrificing her love? Hey Devi Maiyya! Kuch toh jawaab dijiye!

 

   Khushi could not stand there anymore and have her decision questioned, so she ran off from there to mandir in the main hall hoping that her Devi Maiyya might give her some peace.  Arnav smirked as he watched Khushi run away. Jaao Khushi jaao! Jidhar jaana hai jaao! Par mere sawaalon ne tumhaare dil mein ghar toh bana liya hai! Aur ab woh tumhein itna annoy karengi ki kal se pehle you will come to me and ask me to call off my wedding! Awesome plan ASR! Arnav's face filled with satisfaction as he mentally patted himself.

 

 

 

"Baby! Baby? Baby kahaan ho tum?", Anjali hollered as she searched for her sister.

"Main yahaan hoon!", came a voice and Anjali followed it to her room where Geet was lying on the bed playing with Kanha. Kanha laughed as he saw his mother, "Mamma!", he mumbled as he waved his hands at her. Anjali smiled as she grabbed his hand and placed a kiss on it making the child giggle again.

 

   Geet straightened in curiosity as she saw a thaali in Anjali's hand. She leaned over it and saw two small cups filled with sindoor in it. "Yeh kya hai AD?", Geet pointed at the cups and Anjali smiled, "Kal shaadi mein jis sindoor se Chote aur Chutke Bhabhiyon ke maang bharenge, yeh woh sindoor hai! Jaise shaadi ke baaki saamagri ko Devi Ma ke saamne rakha tha waise hi ise bhi rakhne jaa rahe hain! Ma ka aashirwaad milega toh humein bahut sukoon milega!" Geet nodded. Anjali turned to walk away when Geet called her, "Arre AD! Aap mujhe dhoond kyun rahi thi?"

 

Anjali turned around, "Woh kuch nahi! Ma ke saamne sindoor rakhne ke liye hum tumhein kehne waale the! Kyunki Maamiji ne humein upar waale kamre mein bulaaya hai kuch gehne dikhaane ke liye! Unhein Bhabhiyon ki mooh dikhaayi ke liye abhi se gehne choose karne hain!"

Geet chuckled, "Yeh MJ bhi na! Mehendi bhi lagni baaki hai aur abhi se mooh dikhaai ki planning shuru!"

Anjali nodded, "Ab Maamiji ko kya kahein! Iss shaadi ka intezaar toh woh kabse kar rahi hain, yeh hum dono ko pata hain! Hum soch rahe the ki sindoor tum le jaao lekin ab tum Kanha pe nazar rakh rahi ho toh yeh kaam hum kar dete hain! Uske baad upar jaayenge!"

Anjali turned and walked away just as Geet frowned. Mandir was in the ground floor. Was her sister planning to walk down two floors, show the sindoor to Ma and then go back up three stairs to the upper floor? Hey Babaji!

"Di!", Geet shouted as she stood up and took Kanha on her hips, "Kyun na sindoor main le jaaun? Aap be wajah itna upar neeche karengi!"

Anjali frowned, "Par Kanha..."

"Kanha ko main saath le jaati hoon! Neeche lawn pe uske papa bhi hain, unke paas ise chodke mandir ka kaam khatam karti hoon! Phir Kanha ko Jijaji se waapis le lungi!", Geet spoke happily.

Anjali hesitated, "Par..."

"Oh ho! AD! Stop worrying! Main hoon na!", Geet chirped making Anjali roll her eyes. She handed the thaali to Geet.

Geet had one last question, "Waise ismein se La Bhabhi waala kaunsa aur Paayal Bhabhi waala kaunsa?", she looked at Anjali with curiosity. She was not interested in it but if someone asked she had to know the answer.

Anjali pointed them out and Geet set off with Kanha in one hand and thaali in other hand.

 

Slowly and carefully Geet climbed down the stairs and then set off to the lawn talking to Kanha in a baby language making Kanha giggle. As she reached the lawn she frowned in confusion. Yeh jijaji kahaan gaye? She had seen every young male in the family, except Arnav and Maan, sitting in the lawn joking when she had looked out of balcony half hour ago. And now there was no one around. She shrugged. Lagta hai kahin aur dhoondhna padega! She was about to turn and walk away when she saw Maan enter the lawn from other side coming from outside. Geet smiled widely at his entrance and walked towards him.

 

   Maan was walking towards house lost in his thoughts. He had made his decision. He had also made the necessary arrangements from outside. Now he just had to inform his family. Maan took a deep breath. How will they react? Maan wondered. Will they be happy or simply sad? Before he could think more, Geet popped into his path making him jump slightly. Before he could recover from the shock, Geet thrust a smiling Kanha into his arms and walked off.

 

Maan looked at the kid incredulously and then let out a shout, "Geet!"

"Geet!", Kanha repeated happily.

Geet turned around and marched towards him. She glared at Kanha and pointed at him, "Geet nahi! Maasi!"

"Maasi!", Kanha chortled happily.

"Aur yeh tumhaare Maasa!", Geet said while pointing at Maan.
"Geet!", Maan shouted just as Kanha piped, "Maasa!"

Kanha laughed while Maan fumed.

"Aur aap!", Geet spoke while looking at Maan, "Iski aadat daal lo! Kyunki shaadi ke baad aap iske maasa hi banenge! Aur isko sambhaalne ki bhi aadat daal lo! Kyunki shaadi ke baad bachche main hi nahi sambhaalungi! Aapko bhi haath bataana padega! Aur iski practice abhi se kar lo! Thode der mein main ise aake le jaaungi! Tab tak sambhaal lena!"

Saying her piece she walked away with the thaali in her hand, making Maan look at her in shock. Then he looked down sadly. Geet, yeh kehke tumne aaj prove kar diya ki mera decision sahi hai! He was brought out of his thoughts when Kanha patted his cheek. Maan smiled as he walked towards the lawn trying to entertain Kanha.

 

 

 

 

   Geet was walking towards the Mandir in the main hall when she stopped in shock. Khushi was sitting in front of the Mandir looking at Ma as if the Goddess was the answer to all her problems. But then this was Khushi! For her, every problem had one solution. Pray to Devi Maiyya! Geet shrugged. But then who was she to complain? Didn't she seek her solace in Babaji? She nodded and started walking when an idea struck her. She looked at the the sindoor cups and then at Khushi. She smiled impishly, kya filmy idea aaya hai dimaag mein! Then she frowned; but Devi Maiyya, Babaji! Please maaf kar dena! Bhagwan ke dar pe aisa khel khel rahi hoon! Mujhe pata hai ki yeh galat hai par kya karun? Do pyaar karne waalon ke poori zindagi ka sawaal hai! Aur kisiko sahi raah dikhaana bhi toh punya ka kaam hota hai! Phir bhi agar aako galat lage toh bachchi samajhke maaf kar dena! She looked up and pleaded and then walked off to the mandir. Standing before the idol of Devi Ma, she offered the plate with sindoor cups to Ma's feet. After bowing to her, she took the plate and stood up. As she stood, she smiled mischievously. Khushi had noticed her but did not acknowledge her or her actions as she was lost in her thoughts.

 

  Geet took a deep sigh. Dekhlo AB! Aapki mohabbat ke liye mujhe kya kya karna padta hai! Par aap ho ki meri love story ke liye koi help nahi ho! No problem! Ek baar aapki aur Lavanyaji ki shaadi ruk jaaye aur Khushi Bhabhi aapki baat maan jaaye phir dono ko kaam pe laga dungi! Kahungi ki jaao aur meri love story ko bhi track pe laao! She shook her head at her silly thoughts and then looked at Khushi again with mischief. Then she looked around checking if anyone was there. Noticing that no one was around except Geet and Khushi, Geet tipped the cup which Anjali had indicated as the one Arnav will use to fill Lavanya's forehead. She tipped it slow enough that only little powder fell down but Geet positioned it in such a way that the little powder fell on the Khushi's parting.

 

   Geet grinned widely at her perfect aim. Mission half done! Ab let the drama start! Chal Geet puttar! Dikhaade apni nautanki! AB! You owe me a lot Bhai! She rearranged her expression to surprise as she looked at Khushi with her jaw dropped open. Khushi continued to stare at her Devi Maiyya lost in her thoughts.

 

"Hey Babaji! Yeh kya ho raha hai aaj? Yeh doosre baar hua hai! Main shub ashub ko toh nahi maanti lekin yeh do baar hua hai! Kahin sach mein Bhagwan koi ishaara toh nahi kar rahe?", Geet would have continued to babble if Khushi had not come out of her thoughts and had asked, "Kya hua Geetji? Aap itni pareshaan kyun hai?"

 

Geet looked at her with tear filled eyes, "Tumhaare sar pe sindoor gir gaya!"

Khushi frowned as she touched her forehead and was surprised to see sindoor on her fingers. She shrugged as she smiled at Geet, "Koi baat nahi Geetji! Dhul jaayega! Hum abhi dho dete hain!" She got up to walk away when Geet grasped her hand and looked at her with wide eyes, "Yeh koi simple baat nahi hai Khushi! Yeh koi aisa waisa sindoor nahi hai!"

Khushi blinked in confusion, "Matlab?"

"Yeh woh sindoor hai jo kal AB Lavanya Bhabhi ki maang mein bharne waale hain! Aur AD ne yeh Mata ke chaukhat par rakhne ko kahaa tha taaki kal sab achche se ho! Aur mata ko jab chadhaaya toh yeh tumpe gir gaya! Mujhe kuch samajh nahi aa raha! Kahin Ma AB aur LB ke rishte ko reject toh nahi kar rahi? Hey Babaji! Kal sab sahi salaamat hone dena!"

 

Saying her piece, Geet snuck off leaving a scared Khushi behind who stared at the idol with shock and horror wondering once again whether her best friend Devi Maiyya was telling her something!

 

  Geet smirked as she wiped her eyes. Luckily, Geet did not have to fake the tears as she genuinely felt for Arnav and Khushi's sad love story and the tears had come right away. They barely had a day now, Geet mused. She wondered how both were feeling and handling it. How could her AB be so calm, she wondered and how Khushi could be so happy when she was about to sacrifice her true love? She wondered how she would react if she was told that she had only one day with her Maan. She wondered whether she would start crying or fight for her love the way Arnav did.

 

  Lost in her thoughts, Geet did not notice Arnav grabbing her hand. She was brought out of her thoughts when Arnav called her, "Geet! Geet! What's wrong? Tumhaare aankhon mein aansu and Khushi seems so dull?" Arnav looked at Geet in worry and then he looked at Khushi in worry and then he frowned as he noticed something red on Khushi's forehead. His eyes widened in shock, "Geet! Is Khushi bleeding?" He turned to run towards Khushi when Geet grabbed his arm and pulled him back, "AB! Woh khoon nahi, rang hai!" "What?", Arnav looked at her in confusion and Geet nodded excitedly, "Haan! Aur woh rang aapke pyaar ka hai!" "What!", Arnav remained confused as Geet dragged him away all the while mumbling about rescuing Kanha from Maan, or was it rescuing Maan from Kanha?  

 

 

 

 

  Aakash was a happy fellow. Why? Because just two hours before the mehendi ceremony would start, he was here on the terrace waiting for a glimpse on his Miss. Cham-Cham. After being separated for almost a year, when Aakash and Paayal had arrived at Sheeshmahal, both had hoped that they would get to spend some alone time with each other before they get married and family responsibilities fell on Paayal giving them less alone time. But alas, their family was famous for being kabaab mein haddi amongst love birds and here also they did the same. When Aakash was free, someone kept Paayal busy and when Paayal was busy, someone would drag Aakash away for his opinion. Finally today, both had found themselves alone and promptly contacted each other and now here he was waiting for his Miss.Cham-Cham.

 

   Paayal's eyes brightened as soon as it fell on Aakash's face. She blushed and walked slowly, with her heart thudding in her chest. She wondered whether Aakash was missing her as much as she missed him. This thought made her smile widen and her blush deepen. She walked towards him and both stood in front of each other, with Aakash grinning widely and Paayal shyly looking down. Few minutes passed away, but both of them remained quiet. Both had only thought going through their head; the person they were going to marry next day was standing in front of them! That thought had left them tongue tied and quiet unsure of themselves.

 

"Arre! Kuch toh bolo!", Geet whispered from her hiding place getting a head slap from Anjali. She pouted as she rubbed the back of her head just as Anjali whispered, "Chup raho! Aur zor se bologi toh in dono ko pata chal jaayega ki hum chaaron yahaan hain!"

"Chodiye Anjaliji! Waise bhi humaare na bolne se kya faayda ho raha hai! Dono toh chup chaap khade hain! Kuch bol hi nahi rahe!", Khushi complained as she glared at her sister. Jiji! Kuch toh bolo!

"This is ridiculous! Are you sure they are in love?", Lavanya complained getting a glare from the other three.

"I so did not expect this from Veere!", Geet whispered in annoyance.

 

   After dragging Arnav towards Maan, she had grabbed Kanha and walked off while Maan and Arnav started chatting about their business. She was walking towards her room thinking of ways to amuse Kanha and keep him occupied when she came across Aakash looking around sneakily and then noticing Geet, smiling widely and giving her an innocent look. Having been the one with out of box thinking and sister of Arnav-the-prankster, Geet did not buy the innocent act even for a single moment and immediately got suspicious. She had walked off nonchalantly and looked around to hand Kanha to someone so she could go spy on her brother. Finding her AD and SJ coming around the corner, she had promptly handed the kid to his father and had dragged a confused Anjali off with her.

 

   After being questioned by Anjali more than twice, Geet had relented and explained her suspicions about Aakash to Anjali. That had gotten Anjali alert and soon both the sisters were found spying on their brother who seemed to be sneaking off to the terrace. Terrace! Why terrace? Both the girls looked at each other curiously and then shrugged and walked ahead.

 

   Soon Aakash reached the terrace and as he was roaming around the place eyeing the sky with a smile on his face, Geet and Anjali had sneaked in and hid behind some bushes which were placed in shadows nearby. They frowned as they waited. Soon the door opened and their eyes widened as Paayal wandered in. Toh yeh chakkar hai? Hmmm... Both looked at each other with excitement and surprise on their faces. Aakash sneaking around? To meet his fianc? Haaye! How romantic! Both the girls giggled and neither of them noticed that two other people had sneaked in behind Paayal and had come to hide right beside them.

 

  Suddenly, something soft brushed Geet's arm and she jumped in her place and turned around only to see Khushi looking at her with the same shock. Lavanya behind Khushi and Anjali behind Geet looked at each other with shock too. And then in flurry, all had whispered in excitement as they explained how they were here. Geet and Anjali giggled as they heard how Lavanya and Khushi had followed Paayal over to terrace. And now after nearly half hour of silence with neither Aakash nor Paayal speaking, the four sisters had enough. Hadd hai bhai! Yahaan hum itne eagerly dekh rahe hain aur yeh dono hai ki kuch bol hi nahi rahe hain! Khaamakhaa humaara time waste kar diya! Anjali pouted in annoyance. All four girls had been very excited when they imagined how they would jump out of nowhere and embarrass the couple. But kuch embarrassing kare toh chedne mein mazaa aaye? Geet grumbled mentally as she stared at the couple morosely.

 

    Surprisingly, it was Lavanya, the one person least interested in disturbing the love birds, who had jumped up from her place, shouted, "I had enough!" and stormed off as shocked and incredulous Aakash and Paayal had looked on. Soon, their eyes turned to the bushes from where a sheepish looking Anjali, Khushi and Geet emerged. Aakash's jaw dropped open while Paayal's face and neck turned red in embarrassment. Khushi, Geet and Anjali looked down feeling embarrassed at being caught out so easily.

 

   Geet frowned; hum teen kyun sharmaa rahe hain? Chup chupke toh yeh dono mil rahe the! She shed her embarrassed expression and glared at the duo, "Hmmm... Toh chup chupke mila jaa raha hai! MJ ko bataaun?" "Nahi!", Aakash had squeaked while Paayal shook her head in worry. Neither of them wanted to be teased and harassed by their elders. Anjali played along as she folded her arms against her chest and glared at them sternly, "Toh jaao! Apne kamre mein jaao!" She pointed to the door and the couple did not need to be told again. Both scrambled off and soon the terrace was void of them. There was silence for few seconds before Khushi broke down laughing and Anjali and Geet soon followed. Soon all three were giggling at what they had seen, as they started to go down.

 

 

 

   Nk was happily munching his apple as he walked down the corridors with his camera. His love for taking pictures had got him fascinated with the house called Sheeshmahal, a mansion so beautiful that Nk wanted to do nothing but take pictures. He wanted to take pictures of this house, the lawn, the windows, the architecture, the people living in the house, temporarily albeit... but still living here... like Lavanya. Nk sighed dreamily as he remembered the enigmatic Lavanya. Nk was not surprised that he was attracted to her. He had many crushes from his college days but he had a feeling that this attraction was different. He sighed; it was not right for him to have a crush on a girl who was getting married tomorrow but the heart wants what the heart wants. He hoped that once he was back in Australia this attraction would fade away. Nk was brought out of his thoughts when he saw Lavanya sitting by the large windows with a sad expression on her face, lost in her thoughts. He walked by her to talk to her hoping that he can cheer her up. After all, it was her marriage tomorrow. She is a would-be bride. She should be happy! Nk nodded as he walked towards La.

 

   Lavanya sighed as she looked out of the windows, her thoughts making her more and more depressed. When she had come down from the terrace, en route to her room, her steps slowed as she remembered the way Paayal and Aakash looked at each other lovingly. This led to her memory of how ASR and she behaved when they were together. The stark difference had shocked her and she had taken a seat by the window as the sudden clarity hit her. She knew that ASR did not love her. But she never thought that he was being indifferent to her. But that is what she saw now. There was not a single ounce of affection from him. She had atleast smiled and given him some attention but he did not even give her that. Sadness overwhelmed her as she wondered if this was how her life was going to be from now on.

 

  Suddenly, Lavanya was brought out of her thoughts when someone sat beside her. She looked up to see Nk smiling at her. She mustered something that she hoped looked like a smile but the expression on Nk's face told her that it was looking more like a grimace. She looked away not wanting to see the pity on his expression. He was the only one in the whole building who knew about her broken heart and she refused to show him more of her pain.  

 

  Nk observed the expressions playing on La's face for a while till he could not stay anymore quiet, "Yeh tumhaare chehre pe ubaasi kyun hai?" Ubaasi? La frowned. I am not yawning. Am I? "What? Ubaasi?", she mumbled in annoyance making Nk look at her in confusion, "Ubaasi? You know. Sadness?"

 

La rolled her eyes as she chuckled. Nk smiled at making La happy even it was at his own expense. As long as she laughed, he did not mind being a joker. He was ready to be her joker all his life. He ruffled his hair as La continued to smile at him.

 

"So tell me! Why are you so sad?", Nk queried and La shrugged.

"Oh come on! You can tell me anything, you know that, right?", Nk pressed and La sighed.

"I think it just clicked me that there is nothing between me and ASR! I mean I knew that he did not love me and I did not love him either but ...", La took a deep breath here as if stalling from blurting out her deepest secret, "But only now I realised that there is nothing between us, not even a scrap of affection. Arrange marriages may not have love but the couple atleast respect and care for each other. But ASR and I...", she shrugged trying to explain it without saying.

 

Nk frowned in confusion, "But why are you sad?"

La huffed and replied with a touch of irritation, "Because, Mr. Nk, I just realised that I will be stuck in not just a loveless marriage but a marriage where my husband would not even give a damn about me!" She looked at him with horror and such sadness that even Nk's heart clenched in pain.

 

Both looked away. La did not want to see pity in Nk's eyes and Nk could not bear to see the pain reflecting in La's eyes.

 

After few seconds Nk mumbled something which La could not understand.

"Sorry! Come again?", La looked at Nk with curiosity.

"I said...", Nk said loudly as he looked at La with determination in his eyes, "If you are so unhappy with this relationship then why don't you break it?"

"What!", La exclaimed. Did he say what I thought he said? La looked at him aghast as Nk nodded, "Main sahi keh raha hoon! Break the relationship before it destroys you fully!"

La got up in shock and looked at Nk with disgust, "How dare you! How dare you say such thing!"

"I dare!", Nk spat as he stood up and looked at La with anger in his eyes, "I dare because I care for you! This marriage will destroy you and you and I both know it. Then why not break this rishta before it breaks you? Why throw yourself into the fire when you know that it is dangerous?"

La let out a humorless laugh which made Nk take a sharp breath.

 

"Waah! Kya idea diya hai! Shaadi ke ek din pehle I call off this wedding! Wow!", La applauded and then glared at Nk in anger, "Do you what this will do to your ASR? His image? His reputation? What would people say when they will come to know that The Textile Prince, The Great ASR, had been rejected by his fianc? Arre! Forget about ASR! He is a stranger to me! Did you think about my family? What it would do to them? They will have a daughter sitting in their house with a broken engagement! Did you know that Lucknow is a small town where narrow minded people live? Do you know what me calling off the wedding would do to them? They will make my family's life a living hell. My little sister Khushi would never get rishtas at all once this news gets out! And... Oh my God! What if Raizadas call off Paayal Jiji's wedding once I break this wedding? Oh God!", La pressed her hands to her mouth as she realised the far reaching effects of her one action. Tears filled her eyes as she turned to walk away.

 

"La!", Nk's whispered voice brought her to stop but she did not turn.

"Please!", Nk pleaded in a quiet voice void of his usual cheerfulness, "Please think again!"

La took a deep breath as she tried to control her anger. How dare he! How dare he stop her and ask her to do such a horrible thing to her family!

She turned around and stormed towards Nk. She grabbed his collar and looking into his eyes, she hissed, "Why? Why do you care?"

Nk could not stop the words that tumbled out of his mouth, "Because I care for you! Because I like you! Because...", Nk hesitated and then after taking a deep breath he plodded on, "Because I have feelings for you!"

 

La dropped his collar as if they were on fire. She took a few steps back as her shocked eyes looked at Nk.

Nk continued to speak in a very quiet voice, "And if you give me a chance, I might fall in love with you too!"

 

Now La was beyond shocked. She turned around and walked away slowly as if in daze. She did not even register Nk running after her or grasping her hand but her mind took in the words he had to say to her, "Break this rishta, La! Come with me! Give me a chance!" She shook her head slowly as she raised her head and looked at Nk in his eyes.

 

Nk was startled to see fire and disgust in La's eyes, "How can you say such things to a woman who was going to marry your cousin the very next day? How can you!" The words What kind of man you are!' was not said but was implied and hung in the air between them.

 

Nk did not even flinch at the hatred he saw in her eyes, he simply smiled, "The heart wants what the heart wants! Take a chance with me, La! After all, being unmarried and taking a chance at love is better than getting married and remaining unloved!"

 

La wrenched her hand out of Nk's hand as she looked at him with horror and anguish. She took few steps back unable to comprehend what just happened. She took few more steps back and then turning around, she ran as fast as she could to her room leaving behind a hurt and disappointed Nk whose shoulders drooped; head went down as he wondered what went wrong in last few minutes.

 

 

NOTE

The line, "The heart wants what the heart wants", is borrowed from Castle. It was said by Castle in Season 2 Episode 22 and I loved the line so much that I was itching to use it somewhere.

Hai Kyun Nahi Lakeeron Mein

Yeh Kaisa Tera Ishq Hai

Saajna...

 

And Maan's jhatka will come in Chapter 80 when the evening will end!

 

Thank you, take care and have fun,
