"Utho Aniket, ye koi sone ki waqt hein, do bacchr ka baap ho chuke ho, lekin abhi bhi harkat bacchowala." A female voice called.
"Sone dona Nupur, panch minute aur." A tired male told his wife and returned to sleep.
However, he woke up suddenly as he realized something important.
"Nupur ek minute, do bacche, hamare to sirf ek beta Arjun hein, iska matlab tum phir se, matlab hum phir se." The male voice asked his wife and pulled her in a tight hug when his wife nodded her head in approval.
" Nupur, mein tumhe bata nahi sakta hu ki iss waqt mein kitna kushi mehasos kar raha ho, meine Arjun ke birth waqt tumhare pass nahi tha. Lekin mein tumse wada karta hu iss waqt mein tumhare saat rahoonga, tumhe koi bhi kami mehasoos karne nahi doonga,
Meri zindegi mein tum, aur hamare bacche sabse ahem ho, aur mein wada karta ho ki mein hamesha hamara pariwar ka raksha karonga, tumhara saat dangooa." The male voice told his wife in an emotional voice.
The female cupped the face of her husband, it seemed like she also feeling emotional after hearing the passionate speech from her husband.
" Aniket, mein janti hu ki mein hamesha tumhari saat paaongi, Aniket hum janti he bite hue kaal mein hum alag ho gaye the, lekin tum ne dekha na hum dono ka payyar sacchi the aur usme itna takad tha ki hum phir se ek hogaye. Aniket mujhe tum par, hamari payyar par pura bharosa hein, humari agge ki zindegi hassin hogi, humare do bacche hum dono ka payyar ki nishani hein, aur mein janti hu un dono ke liye tumhare jaise acche pita aur koi hoyi nahi sakta, I love you Aniket." The female rested her head on her husband shoulder after saying that.
The male looked lovingly at his wife.
"I love you too Nupur aur tum jante ho hamare do bacche ke liye tum se acche. koi maa hoyi nahi sakti, aaj mein tumse phir se wada karti hu ki hamare dil mein hamesha zinda rahega hamara payyar ka anokha rishta." The male smiled lovingly at his wife after saying that.
The female also returned the smile and looked at lovingly towards him.
"And cut." A voice called from behind.
The director of Anokha rishta tv series got emotional when he declared the end of the shooting of last scene of this TV series.
All the cast members were feeling emotional at the end of the two-year long tv series but in the case of male lead of the show who played the role of Aniket Adhikari. The male lead was feeling different kind of emotion, Prem Juneja did some tv shows before but it was the first tv show which gave him the major recognition. That show was also special for him because it was the reason he meet with Heer Maan.
Heer Maan that name made a major impact in his heart. He foolishly mixed up his real and reel life. In tv show Aniket fallen in love with Nupur and here Prem Juneja in real life fallen in love with Heer Maan. However, unlike Nupur in reel life, Heer Maan did not feel anything romantically for Prem.
Prem cursed himself for falling in love with his co star, he should have known better, how could he expect a natural beauty like her would feel anything romantic for him and he was few years older than her.
She just thought him as a good co-star who was supportive of her and who had been a good friend for her.
Prem had hope that, one day she would see how much he loved and cared for her, she would give him a chance to win her heart.
However, all of his hope vanished two months ago when he heard Heer was telling one of her co star that, how she saw Prem as somewhat elder brotherly figure.
It was devastating revelation to him, he never thought that, Heer would think about him that way. Since that day, Prem was fighting with himself. He was fighting to control his emotion.
Prem was a realistic person, he raised by a simple middle class family, he never thought that he would have a experience in his life where he behaved like a devdas.
Prem read in the book, even saw in many tv series how one sided love affair was not so good for oneself. However, he never realized that, how much pain he would feel for his one sided love affair.
He tried hard to resist his emotion but it was harder for him when he had to see her every day in the set and had to romance with her for the show. It was an emotional torture for him; it was killing him from inside. However, he still could not help from coming here.
At the end of the day, Prem was a professional actor who respected his profession. Prem had been cautious in the last two months. Even Heer noticed that Prem was not acting pure comfortably with her when doing romantic scene, but he assured her that it was nothing.
Therefore, one part of Prem was feeling relived that the show was ending; now he could take himself away from her. He knew he had fallen hard for her and it would be next to impossible for him to forget about her but he had to try it.
He had a responsibility towards his family and he could not let himself get destroyed that fashion.
Nevertheless, another part of him was feeling very sad about ending of the show. He had built close relationship with other co actors and the crewmembers; they were like a family for him. So, it was hard for him to say good bye to them.
It was also the show, which gave him financial security, star status, awards and the love of fan so he would always remember that show.
Besides that, Prem knew how much he would miss his moment with Heer. Yes, those moments were mostly based on reel life. When Prem was shooting for the last scene of the show for few seconds Prem lost him when Heer looked at him lovingly as her reel life avatar of Nupur.
How Prem wish that, Heer would look at him like that in their real life. Nevertheless, Prem now knew in his heart that moment would never come in their life. Prem also realized that, that scene would be his last romantic scene in his acting career because Prem did not know if he could be able to act with her in future.
Therefore, he gave his everything while shooting the last scene.
Prem laughed cried rest of the crew at the end of the TV show. He even participated in a SBS segment, which was dedicated for the ending of that hit TV series Anokha rishta. He observed her closely her every statement, her every antics was creating storm inside of his heart.
One by one, every cast members were taking good buy from each other. At the end, he saw Heer was leaving the set in her car.
One tiny part of him wanted to stop her and told her to take him with her.
However, he knew he could not do that. He did not even know when his eyes got moist.
14 April 2017
Prem after returning from the gym was resting on his sofa. He did not acted in a tv show for the last two years.
He felt especially irritated with star plus for cancellation of his show in previous year. Prem learned that, the network did not like the lead actors. Prem felt angered by those antics. According to his opinion, Star Plus was always most trp crazy TV network.
That channel was notorious for creating unjustified pressure on production house, actors for trp. Prem did three shows for that network, and all of them were initially hit especially the first one.
However, in all three tv series his characters were mishandled by the network. In His first project with that network, his character was suddenly killed even after getting trp of 3.5-4 and being top two.
Due to fan pressure he returned to the show, but the show was never same and Prem still felt angry about ruining the show by channel
Crazy plotline, ruining his character, time slot change etc contributed the decline of the show.
Now, the channel was saying they did not want him as lead, really he decided that he would not act in any TV series of star plus.
Nevertheless, sometimes, Prem felt he was relieved that, his first show of star plus ended in two years because he would not able to continue his acting with Heer.
Heer that name still haunted him in his dream, it was seven years since his TV show with her haunted but every memories of her with him was still fresh in his mind.
Prem tried hard to move on his life but even there he was betrayed and after that, Prem accepted that he would not get love in this lifetime.
Prem sometimes tried to deny it to himeself. Nevertheless, deep inside he knew that, he still loved her; she was his first real love. Prem thought that by distancing himself from her and not seeing her would heal his broken heart.
Nevertheless, some scars were too deep to be healed. He did not even saw her for last three years in person but in his mind, he always had her smiling picture. Despite having no contact with her anymore she was driving him crazy.
Prem could not help himself for loving her. He felt pain for his one sided love but at the same time he felt happy that, Heer was happy in her personal life.
Yes, Prem would not deny that, he felt great pain when he learned that, she got a fine man in her life as her lover. Nevertheless, whenever Prem thought that, she was happy in her life with her boyfriend he felt happiness for her. He even heard that, Heer would most likely settle down in that year by marrying her boyfriend, and it made him happy and sad at the same time for obvious reasons.
Prem knew he would never forget her, but he also came into understanding that she would be never his.
Perm's deep thought process was disturbed when his phone rang.
"Ok, Meheta ji, mein appse paheli kaha, mein star plus ki koi bhi project kam nahi karonga, I just dislike that channel." Prem told the creative head of production house.
"Thick hey mein open hu, kisi aur project mein kam karne ke liye agar wo show kisi aur channel mein telecast hua to." Prem added.
After committing that he would meet him in 30 minutes, Prem cut the phone and got ready for meeting.
Prem did not know that from today his life would start change.
Chapter end.
