Hi friends,
Here is the next part of this serie, part 6!
Sorry for the late update!
Recap :
Suraj thinks Chakor is in some pbm, so searching for her in hotel room, restaurant...
****************************************
Seeing Chakor in her blood red anarkali and few hair stands attached on the left side with a floral hair pin, Suraj felt different : relieved to see his Jungli Billi and at the same time carried with his emotion to see her as beautiful as ever in full of happiness.
Forgetting his idea of being late to make her anger increase, he entered the restaurant and went up to the table where Chakor is seen going through the menu card!
Feeling the presence of Suraj near her, she lifted her head and smiled "Wah Suraj, you are punctual!". Analysing him from top to bottom with her eyes rolling up and down "Looking good in this new hairstyle and new jacket!" as he was wearing his new red and brown mixed colour jacket which he bought this morning.
"I'm always punctual and I know that I'm handsome!" smiling at his Patni ji with full of confidence and a small satisfaction ( as getting a compliment from her is like getting an Oscar award).
Taking his place in front of her, he continued "Where is your phone?"
"Charging in Hotel room! Should I ask your permission?"
"No but I thought you were in some problem and I was worri... " started to do coughing drama without finishing his line. Took glass of water and had a gulp of it before resuming "I mean if anything happens to you, I have to answer to your parents and Imli and mysel" and again coughing drama. He had enough time to reformulate his thoughts but no he was again on dilemma of what to say and what not.
"I know to protect myself! he felt happy that she has helped him putting an end to this topic until she asked "And what about you? Won't you be worried for me? I thought you will".
"No need to worry as I will not let anything happen to you!" these words came out of him cutting hers. Hearing him, she left the menu card fall on the table while he caught the stare of her eyes and there goes an eye lock.
Their eyes met for a fraction of minutes with sparking magic through their eyes, white angels playing holi around them, romantic ARR music playing on the background...
It last only for few seconds but the effect was seen on both of them as they avoided eye contact here after.
They ordered their favourite dishes, or else it can be said that Chakor ordered his favourite dishes while he was trying to find out what to order.
When they were waiting, they discussed about a lot of things and mocked each others taste and ideas too :
- Suraj shopping was a hot topic for Chakor to troll him over his choice of jackets "What's the need to buy same type of jackets always and mostly the same colour?"
- Chakor not having her phone with her helped him point out her
- KN topic was a point were both started to discuss about the precautions and the steps they need to take to get evidences
They were interrupted while they were in their serious talk which started as nok-jhok.
"Excuse-me Mrs & Mr. Rajvanshi, we are celebrating our restaurant owners 25th marriage anniversary with couple contest and paper dance in one hour would you like to participate?"
"No sorry!" even if she felt he has changed, she is in no mood to get another wham from him as in Imili & Vivaan's reception.
"Are you afraid of losing?" he also didn't want to participate, but he will not let any chance to pull her legs.
"Why can't you directly say that you want to dance with me?" not noticing the expression of restaurant manager.
When Suraj intended to speak up, a family came near them and the queen of the family asked "You are Chakor Suraj Rajvanshi! Sports star. We saw your interview with your family." Pointing towards Suraj "You are really lucky to get a husband like him, who can crack jokes in serious situations too!" Suraj was super happy to hear his success.
The lady noticed Chakor nodding, so she continued "Are you both participating in the couple contest? I hope you do!" with a big smile.
Chakor and Suraj are in big dilemma of what to do now (escape from this family).
The teenage girl from the family spoke "You are my favourite sports star, you are my role model. Since my parents saw your interview, my mother wants my father to be like Suraj brother. Can I take a selfie with you, please?"
There was a fiasco around their table for few minutes with photo session, Q&A...
The family left the couple on date according to them, only after making them accept to participate in those contests.
All this while the restaurant manager was standing there listening to all the talks, helping them to take photos and finally left them alone after adding their names in the participant list.
Once they were alone, they shared an outburst of laughter with the events happened until Suraj said "On date... Never!"
"Why not?"
Suraj lifting his eyebrows in question look starred at Chakor, noticing it Chakor cleared her point "I mean you are lucky to have dinner with Chakor, the sport star. So you can considerate this dinner as a date if you want!"
"Oh Jagat maata, come to the earth! I have no intention of dating you!"
"So with whom you will go?"
Before he could answer, their dinner was served.
Nevertheless they continued their nok-jhok once they were alone again all the while having their dinner.
When they were finished with their nok-jhok and dinner, they were invited by the manager to join other contestants.
Once there, they were been seated separately in order to fill a form with 3 questions on his/her partner and 3 on themselves for which their partner will answer.
Chakor went through her questions and her train of thought made a start seeing the first question :
What is your partner's favorite Color?
She remembered the event that occurred during Imili & Vivaan's reception and how she was shattered to hear Suraj say she is not fit to be his wife.
Suraj on the other side was remembering their talk at dhaba on the karwachath night and the evening when he thanked her with veggies reading the first question :
What is your partner's favourite dish?
Coming out of his thoughts he wrote the answer with a smile on his face and read the next one :
What is your partner's biggest strength?
He wrote "Passion & career" without taking few seconds to think.
Chakor seeing him smiling and writing, she murmured "He is in some plan to make fun of me!". She read her second question :
Where did you met your partner for the 1st time?
Again she goes in flashback where she is meeting Suraj for the first time in Haveli when she stepped on his toy car. Then she remembered their face-to-face meet after 10 fine years in the godown, where she is in yellow and green dress with tied hands when he ask her if she wants to be his friend.
Remembering the "Teekhi Mirchi" dialoug Suraj comes out of his train of thoughts and answers his third question which was :
What was your partner wearing when you first meet? (The first time you were amazed?)
Seeing the third and last question :
What do you like in your partner?
She got flashes of her hubby's caring nature for his mother, the child and for her (the rain scene where she was heartbroken) and murmured "No not for me. He cares only for those he loves and who can reciprocate his feelings.". So she wrote "Care for those he loves!" without putting any names as she was not sure of the list of people to mention (even if it's not long).
Once finished all the couples gave their sheet to the responsible and they were welcomed on the dance floor with one news paper per couple.
Chakor and Suraj stands together on a paper, examining it's size Chakor says "It's small!"
"Everything will be small in front of you!" with a smirk as if he won a battle, but seeing Chakor face raging in anger he said "I was joking! Have you ever did paper dance?"
"No & u?" keeping her temper at side in front of her fan-family who are near them.
"Never did such dance!"
"Yeah, you know only dance with those dancers!" with a smile to make it look like a sweet talk.
"Chakor..." Suraj was interrupted by the host of the evening to announce the start of the song "Ishq wala love!"
Chakor in no idea to lose her reputation said "Let's start as we have no other option!". Saying this she made him understand by her eyes to hold her hand with his left hand and she put her left hand on his shoulder. They started to dance avoid any other contact(obviously eyes).
The music stops and the paper is folded.
They again start to dance on the song "Mere bina mai" this time little bit closer as there were no choice left and they get into a eye lock with Suraj holding Chakor by her waist and Chakor's both hands on Suraj shoulders.
For few seconds it seemed like there were no one else around them until the music is stopped and the Queen of Chakor's fan-family screamed on her husband for making her fall on the ground.
The host announces "Three couples are left. So let's find our winner with next round." The paper is again folded.
Chakor and Suraj are close to each other, in nervousness, Chakor loses balance and holds Suraj collars while he holds her tight and doesn't let her fall.He makes steady with her feet on his feet, pulling her toward him and she hugs him closing her eyes. They were lost in some other world.
They were brought to the reality by the sound of mike when the host announces "Mrs. & Mr. Suraj Rajvanshi are the winner of this beautiful evening" hearing this they were smiling seeing each other, the host continued "Not only in dance but also in the compatibility contest!" Everybody was applauding while both Suraj & Chakor are in great shock to admit the result.
"They are the perfect couple with full score. If you have seen them on TV, you will have no doubt on it!" He welcomed their restaurant owner and owner's wife to present the couple a gift of tour package for Shimla.
Suraj & Chakor were happy to be the winner but have no intention to idea to go to Shimla, so pretended to be the luckiest couple to get this gift which can be used in a period of 1 year.
Taking their gift, thanking all of them and biding bye to the fan-family, they made their way up to their room discussing on how they can win :
"It's not normal that we won!"
"I think they gave us this gift as you are a sports star, and it will be a publicity for them!"
"I don't think so! Wait, what did you answer for those questions?"
They were already inside their room and still discussing about those questions and what they answered. They don't know when they slept on either sides of bed but they woke in the morning thanks to the alarm set in Chakor's phone.
They found themselves close to each other with Suraj's right hand under Chakor's hair and Chakor's left on Suraj's chest. Seeing their position Chakor jumped off the bed and without uttering any word, she went to get ready.
Minutes passed, they both got ready, had breakfast in the service bar before returning their room key card and board the bus for Azaadgunj. All this while the silence persisted. Just few gaze and look here and there talked thousands of thing they couldn't talk with words.
The bus travel was thus the most beautiful one they had since they met after 10 years.
The Suraj and Chakor who went from Azaadgunj as just two shield protecting each other, had came back to haveli with other emotions, feeling and understanding that can't not be described with words.
