"Batao sabko ki tumne AJ se shaadi isliye ki kyuki tumhe laga ki AJ ne tumhari behan ka apharan kia hai?! Durga asked Guddan.
Guddan stood mum while Durga went on and on about how Guddan and AJ didn't treat each other like husband and wife, that it is just a namesake marriage.
It has started to throb again!' Guddan murmured pressing down her eyes, between her thumb and forefinger.
Ye aise nhi sudhrengi!' Guddan thought and taking in a deep breath plastered a smile on her face.
"Chakar...Chakar...Chakar...
Durga stopped and turned around to see Guddan, smiling. The entire family looked at Guddan too, with confusion.
"Kya Durga Ji! Kitni chakar..chakar karti hain aap! Thakti nhi kya blame karte karte!? Guddan asked, raising her brows in genuine query.
Durga looked at her stumped while she exchanged glance with AJ.
"Aapki baatein na, hamare bheje mein toh nhi ghusi! Par ismein hamari galti nhi hai, aap baatein hi aisi kar rahi hain! Matlab, aapko bheja toh bheja, bhagwaan ne aapke bheje mein bheja nhi bheja!? Guddan enquired, chuckling.
Durga fumed while AJ turned Guddan around. "Ye kya bakwas kar rahi ho?!
"Chill AJ uncle! Guddan replied and gently removed his hand off her arm.
"Vo kya hai na...aapki bahu...oops...hamari bahu ko tv serial ki saas ka roleplay karna kuch zyada hi pasand hai! Jab dekho hamari saas bankar hamare sar par taandav karne aa jati hain! Par filhaal toh ye aapki bhi maa banne ki pooriii koshish kar rahi hain! Lagta hai chaar din pehle hui ghatna ye bhool chuki hain!! Khair, today, I'll make sure to give you a lesson that you'll never forget! Guddan smirked.
"Tum?! Humein?! Sikhaogi!! Durga asked incredulously with a sarcastic smile pasted across her lips.
"Bilkul Durga ji! Jab bahu ke par nikal aate hai na, toh saas hi unhe katarti hai! Guddan replied, using her forefinger and middle finger in combined motion, as a scissor.
This answer reversed the smile on Durga's lips.
"Let's start with the cheap stunt you pulled with my father. I appreciate the audacity with which you wholeheartedly blamed my existence as the reason why you went astray with your morals! A brilliant display of EGO! Guddan exclaimed and started clapping, mockingly while moving around Durga.
"Sahi hai na aapka! Even though you were the one who easily got manipulated by her devranis which goes onto show that aapka top floor khaali hai... Guddan trailed as Durga's eyes widened in anger and she opened her lips to speak but Guddan dismissed her with a wave of her left palm.
"...to reduce the guilt you were suffering from due to compromising with your morals, very conveniently you apologised half-heartedly and then the next instant, went on to hold me responsible for this uncalled behaviour of yours just so that your false sense of pride stays intact! A wonderful display of arrogance! Guddan completed, raising her eyebrow in amazement .
Durga turned to AJ but was shocked to see a spectre of prideful smile dancing on his lips. His eyes were glued to Guddan and were shining!
"At a loss for words!? Are we now, Durga JI?! Guddan intentionally stressed the Ji in mockery.
"Chaliye, aage badhte hain...mere papa ki maafi udhaar rahi aap par aur unki beizzati ki byaaj toh hum fursat se vasool kar hi lenge! Moving forward to THE BIG. GRAND. QUESTION- WHY DID I MARRY AJ?! Guddan acted moving her palms in a superfluous manner.
"Peson ke liye or kya! No wonder, tum apne se duguni umra ke aadmi ke saath shaadi karne ko taiyaar ho gayi! Durga taunted.
In response, Guddan chuckled. "Arre, par abhi do minute pehle aap boli thi ki maine apni behan ko bachane ke liye shaadi ki?! Guddan asked, quizzically.
This shut Durga down, for good!
"Do me a favour and make it clear- Did I marry for money or Did I marry for my sister?! It's quite funny when I think about how I was shouting my larynx out in my defence saying that I did that to save my sister because the kidnapper' forced me to get married to AJ, no one believed me...not even a word! But today you are using this very argument to invalidate my marriage with your AJ'! Guddan remarked, highly amused.
In response, Durga huffed in defeat.
"What happened Durga Ji?! Cat got your tongue?! Or maybe you are thinking how can this stupid girl jo seedha chal nhi sakti, itne intelligent sawaal pooch rahi hai?! Guddan asked, in Durga's stead.
"Hamare paas iska bhi jawab hai! You overestimated yourself and underestimated your opponent! Big mistake! Guddan patted Durga on her shoulder in consolation, which Durga jerked off, annoyed.
"Haan, aapne ek aur cheez kahi thi ki AJ, ye Guddan galtiyon par galtiyan karti hain aur aap isse saza bhi nhi dete?!'Guddan rolled her eyes and looked at AJ. "Uss restaurant kaand ke baad inhone humein kitna sunaya tha, aap bhul gayi kya!? Hum toh nhi bhul paa rahe!! Aapko realization hi nhi hai ki inke lectures sunna duniya mein sabse badi punishment hai! Toh aap apne AJ ko partiality ke liye toh accuse na hi kare toh better hoga because we all know that he is not that kind of man! Guddan pointed to Durga.
AJ was almost amused. Was she appreciating him or degrading him?!'
"Now, let's talk about ALIMONY! Aapne hamare saamne 100 crore laakar toh aise rakhe jaise aapke hi hain!? Matlab, hamare hi pati ki kamai aap humein hi khairaat mein de rahi hain! Guddan enquired and turned to Kishore,
"Bura mat maaniyega, Kishore ji! Hum ye nhi keh rahe ki inn peson ko kamane mein aapki mehnat nhi lagi, par humein ye manzoor nhi hai ki aap logon ki mehnat ki kamai Durga ji iss tarah use karna chahti hain... Guddan explained to which Kishore nodded in understanding.
"Tell me one thing Durga Ji, If AJ wanted he could have given me this money and thrown me out that very day when I demanded it BUT HE DIDN'T! Unhe koi dikkat nahi hai toh aapko kya aag lagi hui hai?! Guddan asked.
Durga fumed and shouted, "Kyunki tumhari vajah se already bahot nuksaan ho chuka hai. AJ toh insaaniyat ke naate tumhe kuch keh nhi paate, ye unki acchai hai jiska tum najayas faayda utha rhi ho!
"Oh Shut it! Guddan exclaimed in attitude as Lakshmi's mouth hung open and her palm flew to cover it.
"Aap off topic chali gayi, Durga Ji! Khair faayda uthane ki baat aa hi gayi hai toh let me enlighten you.. At this the smile on Guddan's lips disappeared and was replaced with a frown. "Itne dinon se aap logon ne meri acchai ka bahot najayas faayda uthaya hai. Maine kabhi kuch kaha nhi toh aap apne aap ko anaconda aur mujhe thanda samajhne lagi...
At this dialogue, Saru and Lakshmi snorted in unison and Durga glared at them.
" Humne aapko chaar din pehle trailer dikhaya tha taaki aap sambhal jaayein par nhi, trailer dekhne ke baad toh aapki movie dekhne ki iccha double ho gayi! Kisi ko itna bhi majboor mt kijiye ki vo apni acchai chodne par majboor ho jaaye.. Guddan trailed darkly.
Dadi patted her shoulder in comfort as Guddan turned to her and smiled sadly.
"Now, onto the final question of Hum Aapke Hain Kaun?! At this Guddan turned to AJ and then back to Durga, "Neither of us have asked this question of other so who are you to interfere?! In our country, taking rounds around the holy fire, tying the mangalsutra and filling maang with sindoor signifies for holy matrimony between man and woman and as far as I remember, we did all these rituals...so yeah, aap mane ya na mane, uncle mane ya na mane, main maanu ya na maanu... hum pati patni hain! Guddan remarked and turning around, went to stand by AJ's side.
AJ looked at her in amazement as she looped her arm with his, and smiled jovially.
"Ab aap ek kaam kijiye, Durga Ji...Kindly have this bag delivered to where it came from! Because I have no intention of leaving this house, my dadi and your AJ...oops...MY HUSBAND! Guddan announced as she looked at Akshat and their eyes locked with each other.
And a sizzling current of understanding passed between them, while Durga reeled with currents of defeat.
"Ek aur cheez, Durga bahu! OUR BUSINESS IS OUR BUSINESS, NONE OF YOUR BUSINESS! Guddan exclaimed out loud, making Durga grit her teeth, dadi chuckle and Akshat shake his head at her nautanki...
Note: I don't intend to hurt anyone by referring to the piousness of marriage 😃
While writing this part, it was taken into consideration that Durga had already been verbally defeated by Guddan when she had messed with her mother's portrait.
I hope you all enjoyed it because mujhe toh bada mazaa aaya😆
