MG FF: Shayad Yehi To Pyaar Hai...(updated part 14/pg 75/sep 6) - Page 22

Mishti came out and told them whatever happened inside. All were happy and Dadima again hugged Mishti.

Finally the day came when Maan and Mishti would be destined to be together irrespective of the hurdles. In the morning Maan got discharged and came back to Khurana Mansion. Dadima welcomed him with all her love. Maan wanted the marriage to be simple; he wanted a court marriage and Dadima too didn't pester him on that as he was not well. But she had other plans; she decided that when Maan would be fine she would plan a grand wedding. Maan was in his room musing all the sudden happenings in his life.

Mishti was in her room getting ready. Dadima came to her, "Mishti beta aap bahut pyaari lag rahi ho". Mishti shyly smiled at Dadima. Dadima gave her some jewellery, "Mishti beta ye hamare khaandani kangan hai, jab hum is ghar me bahu banker aaye the tab hamari saas ne hume aise hi kangan diye the. Maan ki Maa ko bhi humne aise hi kangan diye the. Beta ye sirf kangan hi nahi hai, ye ghar ki responsibility hai jo hum kangan ke roop me tumhe de rahe hai. Ab is ghar par tumhara bhi utna hi haq hai jitna ki Maan ka", then she opened a box and took out a pair of anklets, heavy tinkling anklets, she continued, "Beta ye payal Maan ki Maa ki hai, unki khwaish thi ki unki bahu ye payal pehne kyuki Maan ko ye payal bahut pasand hai. Maan kabhi unko ye paayal utaarne nahi dete the". Tears formed in Dadima's eyes and Mishti as well. She gestured Dadima not to cry. Dadima caressed her cheek, "Beta aap jaldi se ye pahankar tayyar ho jaiye, neeche Adi lawyer ko lekar aa gaye hai". Dadima left from there and Mishti was putting the jewellery on her continuously looking into the mirror. Today she was entering into a new life, a totally new life which she didn't even expected in her dreams. She was a bit nervous but Dadima's hope and love filled a new energy in her. Dadima had shown an unfathomable trust in her, she has given a new life to her, pulled her out of that dark scary life; so now its her duty to give happiness to them. She promised herself, "Dadima mai aapka vishwas kabhi tutne nahi dugi. Mai Maanji ki har zimmedari poore mann or vishwas ne nibhaogi. Mai Maanji ko koi pareshaani nahi hone dugi. Mai unki saari khushiya waapis laogi chahe uske liye muje khud ko bhi daav par lagana pade". She got ready and came down.

Maan was sitting with Dadima. Mishti came to them and Dadima made her sit near Maan. The lawyer handed the marriage papers to them. Adi guided Maan to sign the papers and then Mishti signed the papers. Then Dadima gave mangalsutra to Maan and he tied the mangalsutra on her neck and applied the sindur as well with the help of Rano. All were happy then Dadima did the aarti and took Mishti to pooja room to perform certain rituals.

Maan and Adi were alone along with the lawyer. Adi asked the lawyer to do the other formalities and so he went away. Then Maan told Adi in a cold rigid tone, "Adi inform media that Maan Singh Khurana got married and now Mrs. Maan Singh Khurana is the co-owner of Khurana Constructions. Ye news kal tak sabhi news channels par telecast ho jani chahiye along with all the newspapers". Adi was shocked, he made Mishti the co-owner of KC. He was looking at Maan as if he had grown two horns on his head, this man is unpredictable. He marched to Dadima to inform her what is going on in Maan's mind.

It was dinner time and everyone was having their dinner silently. Then suddenly Maan's voice broke the silence, "Adi I want you to stay in Khurana Mansion for few days". Adi agreed and after their dinner all retired to their respective rooms.

Now Maan and Mishti were alone in the room. Maan asked Mishti to bolt the door. Mishti uttered shocked and scared, "Ji...?", already she was scared of Maan, and whenever she was with Maan Dadima was there to help her, but now they were alone in a room, and on top of that he was asking her to bolt the door. Maan turned towards the source of the voice, and continued in a sharp tone, "Hindi samaj nahi aati hai...". Mishti replied meekly, "Ji aati hai", he continued in a loud voice, "Then go and bolt the door". Mishti shook by his loud voice as she knew and already seen by her eyes his angry avtaar. Mishti immediately went and bolted the door and came to him, "Ji kar diya". Maan spoke in a rigid and strong voice, "Look you don't have to pretend, I know you are not happy with this relationship. Even I am not. I want to clear one thing, maine ye shaadi duniya ko dikhane ke liye ki hai. I can bear anything but I can't bear anyone raising a finger at me and my family, especially my Dadima. But you don't have to worry, you can live your life whichever way you want, just make sure hamare rishte ki sachayi is ghar se bahar nahi jaani chahiye. Tum is ghar ki bahu ho, lekin meri biwi nahi. Our relation is just on the papers and for the outside world. Don't expect anything from me and even I don't expect anything from you". There was pin drop silence. Mishti had intuition that this would come as she knew from his face that he was marrying her for namesake. But somewhere her heart pained. She didn't expect anything from him as already they had done a lot for her. But don't know why her eyes burnt, a tear escaped from her eye. She spoke up, "Aapki dawai ka time ho gaya hai, mai paani lati hu". Maan was surprised, she hadn't reacted a bit. He ignored his thought and took the medicines. He said, "You can sleep in the next room from mine". Mishti was little hesitant, she spoke mildly, "Www...wo agar mai doosre room me sone jaogi to Dadima ko achha nahi lagega, or abhi aapki tabiyat bhi thik nahi hui hai...", Maan intervened, "Tumhe meri tabiyat ke baare me sochne ki jarurat nahi hai. I can take care of myself". Mishti looked at him unblinking, how could she leave him alone, his wounds had not healed yet and moreover if he need anything at night, no-no she couldn't leave him alone. She immediately spoke up pleadingly, "Please mujhe is room me sone dijiye, mai neeche zameen par so jaogi". Maan was utterly surprised, why she was adamant in sleeping in this room only when he was giving her choice to stay in other room. He at last agreed, "Ok...You don't need to sleep on the floor. Go and sleep on the couch". Mishti was happy and then laid herself on the couch. Maan too lied on his comfy bed, he was thinking he never cared for anyone except his Dadima and his family, then why he agreed to her wish of sleeping in the same room and moreover he felt a burden when she said that she would sleep on the floor. There on the other side, Mishti was looking at Maan and promised herself that she wouldn't let anything happen to him, even if she had to cost her own life.

Chahe bina hi nazdeek hum chale aaye, Shayad yehi to pyaar hai...
