CHAPTER 81 (B). ONE HURDLE CLEAR!

Day - 8 Friday

Sheeshmahal

"I cannot marry ASR! Main ASR se shaadi nahi kar sakti! Woh mujhse pyaar nahi karte! Main unse pyaar nahi karti!", Lavanya announced and there was a pin drop silence in the hall. While Khuranas looked shocked, on the faces of Guptas and Raizadas, nothing was etched except pain, despair and horror. No one knew how to react. What were they supposed to say? The wedding was tomorrow! How can Lavanya take this decision now?

Just as everyone started to digest La's words and getting ready to protest against her decision or convince her that her decision was wrong, Arnav spoke up, "And I support her with this decision! She is right! When there is no attachment, why to get married?"

And there went the plan to convince La that her decision was wrong right into the drain. Because once ASR has made his decision, not even Devi Maiyya can change it. Who are these poor souls to say anything? But there was one brave soul who did not know how stubborn ASR can be.

"Arnav bitwa! Aisan naahi karo!", Buaji spoke, "Humri Lavanya bitiya naadaan hai! Jald baazi mein ee faisla kar gayi! Lekin ab aap use thukraaoge toh humaar bachchi ka ka hoga?" Amma, who was standing right beside her, nodded. Lavanya spoke up before Arnav could reply, "Yeh koi jaldbaazi ka faisla nahi hai! Maine soch samajhke yeh decision liya hai!"

"Tum chup raho bitiya! Tumko kuch nahi maaloom!", Amma shut Lavanya up and turned to plead Arnav when Naaniji spoke up, "Lavanya Bitiya! Hiyaan aao!" Her eyes were stern while there was not a single expression on her face. At that moment everyone could see from where ASR got his poker face.

Lavanya trembled as she stood in front of Naaniji.

"Bitiya! Ee sabka hai? Humein bataao! Ee faisla kaahe kiya tumne?", Naaniji asked.

Lavanya shuffled in her place before she spoke up, "Naaniji! Mere aur ASR ki sagaai ko ek saal hogaya hai lekin hum dono ne ek doosre se seedhe mooh baat bhi nahi ki! Ek saal ke is rishte mein humaare beech koi lagaav nahi bana! Yahaan bhi mile toh aisa laga jaise kisi function mein ek colleague se mil rahe ho, koi jeevan saathi se nahi! Naaniji, agar iss rishte ki buniyaad hi itni kachchi hai toh yeh shaadi kaise tikegi?"

"Lavanyaji!", Anjali whispered in worry.

"Nahi Anjali Di!", Lavanya shook her head as she turned around to face her, "Hum dono ka rishta itna kachcha hai ki ASR aur Khushi ki dosti bhi humaare rishte ke saamne pakki lagti hai!"

Arnav's eyebrows rose while Khushi's eyes had widened. They did not think anybody had noticed their closeness but it seemed that Lavanya did.

Anjali became silent as her eyes already started tearing up. Her husband hugged her and she buried her face in his chest. Her sobs continued to be heard for a while.

"Bitiya! Tum samajh kaahe nahi rahi ho? Tum apni zindagi ko yun phek kaahe rahi ho? Bitiya! Kuch toh socho!", Amma pleaded but La shook her head, "Nahi Amma! Aap samajh nahi rahi ho!"

"Arre! Tum naahi samajh rahi ho!", Amma shouted as she grabbed La by her shoulder and shook her, "Agar kal tumhaari shaadi nahi hui toh tumhaari phir kab shaadi naahi hogi! Tum mandap pe chodi hui kehlaaogi! Koi aisi ladki se shaadi naahi karega!"

"Main karunga! I will do it!", a voice came out of nowhere making heads swivel in its direction. There stood NK with fierce determination on his face. He looked at Amma, Buaji, Naani and Maami one by one and then his eyes landed on Lavanya and stayed there. He nodded at her, "I love Lavanya! And I will marry her when the time is right!"

Lavanya smiled at him tearfully while Amma and Buaji were so stupefied that they did not know what to say next. But someone else knew what to say.

"Achcha! Toh isliye aap humaare Chote ke chod rahi hain? Kyunki aapko NK se pyaar hai?", Anjali asked quietly as she stared at Lavanya with something akin to betrayal in her eyes. Lavanya shook her head but before she could say anything Buaji turned her around and glared at her, "Achcha! Tu ee sab gul khila rahi thi yahaan! Toh ko saram naahi aawat hai ka?"

"BAS!", ASR roared and everyone turned to look at him, "That is enough!", he retorted through gritted teeth. "Lekin Chote...", Anjali pleaded but Arnav shook his head, "Nahi Di! Pehle Lavanya ko poori baat toh kehne do!", he looked at Lavanya and softly spoke, "Lavanya! Explain yoursef!"

Lavanya smiled at him thankfully and spoke up, "NK se main pyaar nahi karti Anjali Di! Main toh usse abhi abhi mili hun Amma! Haan! Woh mujhse pyar karta hai lekin main nahi!"

"Toh phir bitiya...", Amma trailed off in confusion. Why was her niece refusing to marry ASR?

Lavanya looked down and spoke softly, "Lekin yeh baat sach hai ki in saat dinon mein NK ke saath ek bandhan bandh gaya hai jo ek saal mein bhi mere aur ASR ke beech nahi bana! Sach toh yeh hai ki main ASR ke liye bani hi nahi hun! Agar hoti toh yeh kadam uthaane ki naubat hi nahi aati! NK and I are good friends! Lekin yeh baat bhi main ASR aur mere baare mein nahi keh sakti! We are strangers to each other. Sirf ajnabi hai, aur kuch nahi!"

Lavanya looked at Amma, Buaji, Anjali and Naaniji pleadingly and then spoke up, "Baat yahaan pyar ki nahi hai! Pyar ka kya hai, shaadi ke baad bhi ho sakta hai! Baat lagaav ki hai! Kisi ke liye care karne ki hai! Kisi ki kadar karne ki hai! Yeh mere aur ASR ke rishte mein nahi hai! Lekin yahi lagaav, kadar, ijjat mujhe ek hafte mein NK se mili! Please! Try to understand! This relationship has nothing but destruction written on it! It won't work! Kuch saal baad na ASR khush honge na main! Please! This marriage will lead to only disappointment and unhappiness! Please don't condemn your brother to this find of fate Anjali Di! Please!"

Lavanya broke down crying and her sisters Paayal and Khushi, who till now were staying in the background stepped ahead and hugged her. Both had tears streaming down their eyes as they consoled their sister.

"Di!", Arnav looked at his sister knowing that out of all people, Anjali was the hardest person to convince. He knew that if Anjali was convinced rest of the family would also fall into line. He walked towards his Di and grabbing her hands, he looked at her pleadingly, "Please Di! Samjho! You don't want my life to be horrible, right? My and La's relationship is not the forever kind. We wont be happy Di! Aur aap apne Chote ko khush dekhna chaahti ho! Haina?"

Anjali nodded and hugged him. He hugged her back and felt her cry onto his shirt. Sorry Di! Maine aapko bahut rulaaya! If it hadn't been for my ego, this confusion would have cleared ages ago! I am sorry Di!

Anjali pulled away and Arnav looked at everyone, "Please! Cancel this wedding! Yeh shaadi mein sirf hum dono ka nuksaan hai! Koi faayda nahi!"

Amma was about to protest when Naani spoke up, "Arnav bitwa theek hi kahat hain!"

Amma and Buaji looked at Naani in shock. Anjali looked down in sadness. Rest of the family felt relieved that Naani was at Arnav's side. No one wanted Arnav to suffer in an unhappy marriage. All wanted Arnav to have the happiness that marriage brought into one's life.

Lavanya, Paayal and Khushi, now standing nearby, looked at Naani with hope. Both Gupta sisters wanted La to be happy and if that happiness was not with Arnav, then so be it. They would happily stand by her even if it is them against the world.

Naani looked at Amma and Buaji with smile, "Hum sab iss shaadi ki taam jhaam ek cheez bhool hi gaye hain! Shaadi do parivaaron ka mel bhale hi ho lekin usse pehle do logan ki poori zindagi ka bandhan hai! Aur jis bandhan mein pati patni hi khush naahi, aisan rishta jodneka ka matlab? Naahi! Naahi! Ee theek naahi! Behtar ee hai ki aisan rishte ko shaadi ka anjaam naahi de! Kal sirf ek hi shaadi hogi, dui naahi!"

Lavanya walked over to Amma and Buaji and joined her hands in front of them, "Mujhe maaf kar dijiye Amma! Buaji! I am sorry! Main kisika dil dukhaana nahi chaahti! Aur naa hi kisika nuksaan karna chaahti hun! Main toh bas yeh chaahti hun ki mujhe aur ASR dono ko apni apni khushi mile! Lekin hum dono ki khushi ek doosre mein nahi hai! Mujhe maaf kar deejiye please!"

Amma and Buaji nodded their heads as they hugged Lavanya, forgiving her right away. Lavanya may have made her decision at last moment but she was right. After few minutes of comfort, Buaji pulled away, "Bitiya! Baat aisan naahi hai ki tumne kuch galat kiya hai! Bas aise ain mauke pe yeh baat kehke tumne badi mushkil khadi kardi! Baat ee bhi hai ki usi ghar mein tohaar badi behen bhi jaa rahi hai! Agar tohaar is faisle se tohaar behen ki shaadi ma kuch adchan aagayi toh?"

Arnav cut Buaji off as he stepped forward, "Aap Paayal aur Aakash ki fikar na karein! Humaari iss tooti shaadi se unki shaadi pe ya zindagi pe koi asar nahi padega! Kyunki pyaar zindagi mein bahut mushkil se milta hai!" Arnav gave a glance at Khushi who looked away and looked back at Amma and Buaji, "Please Ammaji! Buaji! Aap Paayal aur Aakash ki fikar na karein! Please!"

Paayal smiled tenderly at her Jethji as Buaji stepped forward and cupped Arnav's cheeks, "Tum kitne achche ho bitwa! Aur kauno hota toh itni aasaani se Lavanya bitiya ke faisle ko naahi maanta! Tum bahut achche ho bitwa! Aur tohaar dil... uu toh sone ka hai... naahi... heere ka! Humka tumpe garv hai!"

Amma also smiled, "Haan bitwa! Tohaar Di, tohaar Naani aur tohaar poora parivar bahut hi khushnaseeb hai ki uu ko tum jaisan bitwa mila!" Arnav looked down shyly as if he was very modest but inside his mind, he was very happy. Because if Amma and Buaji thought of him so highly then it meant that when he asked for Khushi's hand they would happily say yes. Yes! Arnav Singh Raizada was a very happy fellow right now!

Geet, standing in one corner, rolled her eyes. If only they knew the truth! Aaj taarif nahi, chappal padte AB!

Khushi huffed in annoyance. Yahaan bade banne ki nautanki kar rahe hain! Aur andar hi andar toh laddu phoot rahe honge!

"Arnav beta! Humein tum par naaz hai! Tum toh sach mein ek heera ho!", Daadima spoke up and that was the signal for the Khuranas to speak.

"Bhai! We are proud of you!"

"Yes bhai! We are proud to call you Bhai!"

"Good decision Arnav!"

Dev, Arjun and Maan spoke turn by turn and soon rest of them followed.

"Haan Bhai! Aapka dil toh sach mein heere ka hai!"

"Haan Jethji! Aap bahut nek dil insaan ho!"

The praises continued and by the end of it Arnav was beyond embarrassed. But his embarrassment did not last much as that is when Anjali erupted in anger.

"BAS! BAS KEEJIYE AAP LOG! Taarif kiye jaa rahe hain! Kiye jaa rahe hain! Lekin sachchai koi nahi dekh raha!", Anjali broke down sobbing.

"Di!", Arnav whispered in worry but Anjali raised her hand in the universal sign of stop and Arnav quieted right away. Anjali wiped her tears and looked at her family accusingly, "Sabne yeh dekha ki Lavanyaji aur Arnavji iss rishte se khush nahi honge lekin yeh koi nahi dekhta ki ab humaare Chote ki shaadi nahi hogi! Kal humaare Chote ki shaadi nahi hogi! Humaare Chote akele reh jaayenge!"

"Di!", Arnav whispered and unable to hold himself, he marched forward and hugged his sister tightly. "No Di! Meri shaadi hogi! I promise! Kal nahi hogi! Kal sirf ek shaadi hogi yahaan! Par ek din meri bhi shaadi hogi! Please Di! Trust me!"

Anjali continued to sob and Arnav sighed in sadness. Why doesn't his Di stop crying? Why doesn't she trust him?

"Par Saale Saahib!", Shyam spoke up once silence fell in the room broken only with Anjali's sobs.

Arnav looked up from his Di to his brother-in-law.

"Aapne apna faisla toh le liya lekin aapke reputation aur image ka kya? Kal agar aapki shaadi nahi hui toh press aur media waale toh bawaal khada kar denge! Aur mehmaan ka kya? Woh kya sochenge? Aur rishtedaar bhi toh hain! Unse kya kahenge?", Shyam questioned bringing everyone back to reality and making everyone sad right away.

Anjali pulled away from Arnav and nodded, "Haan! Shyamji theek keh rahe hain! Tumhaare reputation ka sawaal hai! Please Chote! Iss shaadi ko mat roko! Apna faisla badal lo! Humaara na sahi apne AR ka toh socho!" It was clear that Anjali was grasping at straws right now and was ready to use any excuse to make Arnav's wedding a reality.

Arnav smiled at the couple, "Di! Jeeju! Yeh sab main handle kar lunga! I will answer all their questions! But I won't change my decision! Main AR ke liye, Lavanya aur meri zindagi ke saath khel nahi sakta! Sorry Di!"

"Thank you ASR!", Lavanya whispered softly making Arnav smile at her sadly.

"Lekin wedding card ka kya?", Annie asked and some people in the room frowned in confusion. What is she talking about?

Annie looked at them in worry, "Arre! The wedding cards! Jisne bhi card dekha hoga they will know who is the bride! Phir sirf Bhai ko hi nahi, Lavanya ko bhi media harass kar sakti hai! Her life would be a hell! Her name will be dragged into mud too. Bhai can handle himself but what about Guptas and Lavanya? How will they handle it?"

Khushi and Paayal looked at each other with trepidation. How will they handle the backlash?

That is when Aakash chuckled. Everyone looked at him in shock. Is waqt isko hasi sooj rahi hai?

Seeing everyone's reaction, Aakash simply shrugged, "No need to worry! Wedding cards pe toh brides ka naam chhapwaaya hi nahi hai!"

"Kya?"

"Sach mein?"

"Hey babaji!"

Aakash smirked, "Haan! Didn't anyone of you notice? The card only talks about sons of Raizada family get married! Kisse shaadi ho rahi hai, yeh toh likha hi nahi! Media unke ghar jaaker bawaal na machaaye isliye na Paayal or na Lavanya ka naam card par hai! We never disclosed the bride or the bride's family's name in the wedding card!"

That is when Geet piped in, "Aur rahi baat rishtedaaron ki toh unko samjha denge! Waise bhi sab AB ke nakhre jaante hi hain! Agar unhonein achanak se shaadi karne se inkaar kar diya toh koi bhi surprised nahi hoga!"

Some people chuckled while Arnav glared at Geet. Geet winked at him while giggling.

"Theek hai!", Naani announced, "Toh aaj tay raha! Kuch ghante baad hiyaan ek hi shaadi hogi aur woh hai Paayal bitiya aur Aakash bitwa ki!"

Geet walked over to her AB and whispered to him, "Aap toh bade khush honge na?" Arnav frowned and Geet explained, "Aapki shaadi jo ruk gayi!" Arnav smirked and whispered back, "Yup! Happy! But more than I am relieved! Now I am free to woo my Khushi!" He looked at Khushi, and when he noticed Khushi looking at him, we sent her a wink. Khushi's jaw dropped open in shock and looking away, she huffed in annoyance. Arnav chuckled at her reaction.

Everyone started chattering amongst each other in happiness. Even though Arnav's marriage was not happening, it was a decision that made Arnav and La happy and that was more important. Suddenly, all were given a shock when Anjali turned and ran away from the room. Everyone worriedly looked at her retreating back.

"Main dekhti hoon!", Geet muttered and ran off from there following her AD.
