Scene 17
Malhar and Kalyani were lost in each other for what seemed like an eternity. Slowly Malhar picked her up in his arms and carried her to their room. He made her sit on the bed and kneeled in front of her, held her hands in his and looked into her eyes.
"Thank you Kalyani. Thank you for coming into my life Kalyani, for not giving up on me when I myself had given up, for saving my soul from myself, for bringing me out of the ring of hatred, for breaking through the walls of mistrust which had surrounded my heart."
Kalyani brought his hand up and kissed it tenderly.
"It's not only me Malharji, you also have saved me from the worst situations of my life.
Both of us are connected not just by marriage but by our souls."
"Yes Kalyani, it was this connection of our souls that led me to the truth even before my memory returned."
"Malharji, there is one more thing you have to do."
She went to the cupboard and brought a box in her hand. She opened it and showed him her mangalsutra which was sitting inside.
"Aap ke haathon se Mujhe ye pehna dijiye Aur mere maang mein sindoor bhi laga dijiye. Inke bina mein bohot adhuri hun."
Malhar smiled tenderly and led her in front of the mirror. They looked at each other in the mirror, a perfect couple in its frame.
Malhar was about to take the mangalsutra in his hand when Anupriya and Swara came there.
Swara took the box away from Kalyani's hands. "Itni jaldi nahi Vahini. Thoda Aur intezaar karna hoga aap donon ko."
"Kya Matlab?" Both of them asked together.
Anupriya pulled her daughter aside as Sarthak, Madhav and Aao Saheb walked in.
"Mere bachon ki zindagi mein kitne saare problems aaye, Isliye maine Kal ghar main pooja rakhi hai." Anupriya said with happiness.
Madhav smiled and added, "Aur pooja ke baad panditji he saath baithkar muhurat nikalenge tum donon ki shaadi ke liye."
Malhar and Kalyani asked in unison, "Par hamari shaadi do baar ho chuki hai na?"
Sarthak added, "Ha ho chuki hai, lekin saare rasme adhure reh gaye. Isliye iss baar sare rasmon ke saath hogi.
Kalyani ka kanyadaan main Aur Anupriya ji karenge. "
Last but not least Aao Saheb ordered, "Aur tab tak Kalyani hamare saath rahegi, ghar ke Uss taraf."
Malhar looked horrified, "Shaadi hum karenge Par Kalyani ko Uss taraf rehne ki kya zaroorat hai? Woh yahan aaram se reh sakthi hai.
Aur Moksh ka kya? Woh bohot yaad karega Kalyani ko."
"Bechare dada, Moksh ka bahana lekar Vahini ko apne paas rakhne chahte hain." Swara teased.
"Dada main khayal rakh loongi Moksh ka Aur agar zaroorat pade tho main jaa sakthi hun Uss taraf. Sirf aap ke liye mana hai border cross karna." she laughed at her brother.
Aao Saheb held Kalyani's hand and led her away. "Anupriya! Kalyani ka saaman tum le aao Uss taraf."
Malhar looked at her longingly as she walked away with Aao Saheb. Kalyani was smiling and raised her eyebrows at him teasingly, communicating through her eyes, "Mujhe patha hai, aap bahane doondh hi lenge mujse Milne ka.. I'll be waiting."
