His Unwanted Bride
Agarwal's house was hustling bustling around making all arrangements to welcome the groom's family. Rakesh was indulged in changing the curtains and sofa covers, cleaning the living room, in his best way to attract the famous business man in Ahmedabad. But a true soul was preparing food with her heart to welcome her would be damad ji. Keeping all aside she went towards the small temple beside the kitchen, praying Infront of the Ganesh murthi....
"bagawan ji this marriage wants to happen, please save my daughter from this devils, she deserves a better life".
Inside the room Naina was eagerly getting ready accepting her fate with full heart, somehow her heart too jumped in joy to meet him when her mother convinced her for this marriage. She twirled around Infront of the mirror cladded in bright red saree matching it with simple yet elegant jewelleries which her mother saved from those two prying pairs of eyes. Lost smile was captured her face again, Unlike the other days it reached to her eyes which are twinkling with joy. Suddenly the weather seemed calm for her, calming down her fear brewing inside the heart.
"What is his name? does he look like Salman or sharukh? maybe he is unique than others, does he love me or he too treat me like papa & mamaji?no....no..maa said he'll take care of me , uffo Naina anyhow you're going to meet him today..."
Saying so she closed her eyes already dreaming about her soon to be husband. A familiar alcoholic smell engulfed her nostrils & suddenly a rough hand sneaked inside her waist pulling her close.she snapped opened her eyes to look at mamaji.
"Mamaji please mujhe chhod do...." She said tears rolling down her cheeks struggling to escape from his hold, more she struggled hold tightened even more.
"Yeh galath hai mamaji...Muje jaane do.."
"don't try to escape from me, hmmm by the way Naina thume Shaadi se pehele Kuch demonstration chaiye, chintha mat Karo mein thumare help karunga ." he said tightly twisting her arms.
"ahhh...maaaaaaa..." Naina hissed in pain,more than the physical hurt his words hurting her like swords.
Rama ran towards her room hearing her daughter screaming in pain, her head surrounded with so many dark thoughts, she prayed God for nothing will happen bad.
Naina pushed poorwesh in such force that he landed on the floor hitting his head & she hid herself inside the bathroom, breathing hardly. tears made its way towards her cheeks....
Rakesh pushed and locked poorwesh inside another room giving him warning..."don't try to come near my daughter again".
"Naina.....Naina...bahar aajao beta", he can't do anything to you, aajao beta Rama knocked the door trying to pacify her,she could only hear her sobs....
"mere Saath aisa kyun ho raha hai Maa, kya main kush Nahin ho sakthe?"
"aisa Kuch Nahi beta, har din jeevan ek Jaise Nahin hai, jeevan mein kadava aur meetha donon hai,
ek din tum bhee khush rahoge bas bhagavaan par vishvaas karo, sab kuchh theek ho jaega"
"Maa please mujhe akela chhod do"and her sobs became even more harder.
"what can I do now, god please save my daughter".
"Ting...tong.."
Bell rang, somehow her prayer reached to the god, there stood Sameer Maheshwari wearing his formals with his Nanu and mother. Rakesh & Rama warmly welcomed them "namaste jaiprakash ji..andhar aajao.....".
After some regular talks "kya hum aapne bahu ko Dekh sakthe?" vishaka asked. Sameer shifted a little on his seat feeling uncomfortable.
"Ah ah, why not behenji, Rama Naina ko baahar bulao..."
On the other hand Naina was continuously rubbing her waist & arms again and again to erase his touches. She survived almost her 18 years struggling with him protecting her from the wounds. She knew a girl need to be stronger and his every actions eating up all her self confidence. Tears were started flowing down her cheeks endless.
"Naina........." (no response)
"Naina....come out beta they're waiting for you.." Rama called her again.
She came outside fighting back with her tears. Sameer was sitting on the couch waiting for his unwanted would be bride. "Fate is chasing you Sameer.." he sighed fidgeting his hands.Dangling sound of bangles made him to look up& her flowing hair, dancing jhumki's, her light pink shaded lips, dark blue ocean eyes captivated him. He mentally slapped his mind for getting smitten at her. He never failed to notice the faded smile and dry tear marks on her face. Maybe she too don't want this marriage, he thought.
Samosas, sweets were served and fresh home made mango juice was served with it too.
"sorry we prepared in short time so we could only made this arrangement" Rakesh said.
Nanu- "aah aahh it's ok Rakesh, there is no formalities"
"Drama king" Naina muttered looking at her father. Sameer was lost in his thought neither concentrating on food in his hand or the girl Infront of him. His all lost thoughts came to a stop when Rakesh said
"behenji if everything is fine shall we start the engagement"?
Engage....ment? Mummy what is this? Sameer stood shockingly startling Naina in his sudden action.
"ah ah beta today is your engagement, Sameer please calm down, all are looking at you"
"But...Maa......."
"here Sameer, put this ring to her" vishaka forcefully handed over the ring in his hand. Naina and Sameer stood helplessly unable to draw a exact line on sudden changes of their life. Sometimes life will throw unexpected things on us & it's our choice to hold it on or not. But those miracles change our life into real and everything else is just an illusion.
"vishaka we can keep this engagement on some other days? Why now, they only met now they need some time to understand each other....."
"Papa..they can understand eachother after engagement also."
"Ah ah we don't have any problem, today is very auspicious day" Rakesh said quickly not to miss this golden opportunity".
Naina was stood astonished, not even one person asked about her opinion. " Why a girl can't make a decision on her own life" she stood confusingly observing everything then only her eyes turned to Sameer who was discussing something with Nanu. His silky hair, light trimmed bearddark brown eyes, but those eyes were not shining in happiness she can say surely. She stood their shyly observing his every moves.
And the discussion was continued between the elders of Maheshwari family.
"vishaka is this need now?, We're forcing him"
"papa if we give him some time he'll definitely do something to break this marriage".
Nanu nodes at her decision and patted him for move forward and put the ring on her hand. Naina glanced at her mother for her permission & Rama happily nodes at her. he could feel slight tremble on her hand, he don't know why but he felt to protect her and he gently squeezed her hand making her relax. It made her blush, that feeling was something different that his touches creating havoc inside her belly, unlike mamaji's unwanted touches, this simple touch was giving her peace & strength fight for self. And they exchanged rings.
Sameer didn't looked at her even once while returning to home, and put forward a fake smile Infront of his Nanu like he was enjoying everything. Wedding date was fixed after one month from now.
" Sameer how can you forget us...." Munna and pandit jumped Infront of him blocking his way to room.
S - "What?...."
M- we're talking about your engagement, ohhh.... how can you forget us Sameer ,we missed our fun and dance".
P- aah ah you're right Munna we missed our food too.... Meri pyaari samosa I missed you....pandit said dramatically.
S- Yaar don't irritate me
Ah ah already missing Bhabhi..Munna nudged him and Sameer threw angry glance at him in response
"Munna I don't want this marriage and now you guys are irritating me"
They stood confusingly and Sameer elaborated everything how Nanu blackmailed him saying his last wish& how his mother suddenly announced about engagement when they just went to meet the girl's family.
M- Yaar, you'll be the only one who doesn't knew about his own engagement.
S- no Yaar, I think that girl too doesn't knew about it,
Suddenly this remembered him her faded smile and dry tear marks, more than that slight tremble when he held her hand is it because of she don't want this marriage or some different issue is behind that.
M- Sameer how're you going to stop this marriage, if you don't want?
S- Munna this is nanu's wish and this marriage will happen
P- Hain? Sameer I have small brain, please Yaar don't confuse me.
S- contact marriage for one year he said smirking at them.
M- Sameer are you mad? how can this possible, did you think that girl will accept this? this is not correct Yaar.
"Munna she is from middle class family, who will deny it when it offered with money, either she stop this marriage or accept this offer both are good for me".
Munna & pandit stood their confusingly where this all going to lead? Once it exposed it will broke everyone's heart, both Sameer and naina's too.
A long update. Hope you enjoy it.
