CHAPTER-15
Later at evening Sameer picked up others and arrived at Singhania mansion. Looking at the grandeur everyone got stunned...they had no idea that sakshi belongs to elite family,seeing her getup.
Everyone entered inside, but Sameer stopped Ayesha....looking at her he said, "You are looking beautiful Ayesha...." Making her blush.... She gave a small thanks and moved inside, who were greeted by kabir. Looking at them, "Hello....Kabir Singhania, Sakshi ke dost...." he introduced himself to the team...." ACP Arjun aur shree nahi aye kya?"
The team looked uncomfortable while Sameer had a smirk on his face. "Shree athe honge...aur Arjun sir ka pata nahi. Unhe yeh sab pasand nahi.." Riya replied greeting him.
Kabir looking at her frowned as he know about her interest in Arjun, as Shree always complains to him. "Ander chalo sab...sakshi ready horrahi...athe hih hogi niche." He said nodding at Sameer.
At the sametime someone came asking for sakshi. Kabir moved forward to meet him while team started going inside except Riya who was busy removing her duppata which was stuck to plant.
"Ji...sakshi se apke kya kaam." Kabir questioned him.
The person handing him a box..."yeh sakshi mam tak paunchana hain.."
Kabir frowned opening the box...but looking what is inside...he smiled, "theek hain mei usko deta huh...tumhara payment mila?"
The person nodded and went from there. Kabir closing the box turned around but got bumped into Riya who succeed in removing her dupatta. Due to their clash Kabir's hold on box was lost and it fell down.
"I am so sorry...meine aapko dekha nahi." Riya apologised but ignoring her he kneeled down picking the box...but Riya could clearly see the black chain coming out from it. Kabir not noticing her kept the chain inside safely moving from there.
"Yeh toh uss admi ke haath mei thi....joh sakshi ke baaremei puch rahe tey....phir ussmei woh chain..."kahi yeh sakshi ka toh nahi hai" Riya frowned thinking about it.
The full family was already present along with Coelho. Seeing DIG and his family there the team were shocked.
Sameer and the team moved to greet him causually and started talking with them. Coelho for formality introduced the family members to full team along with Sameer....so that the team would not find anything suspicious as it's common to have same surnames....
"Aapke wajah se late horahe hai hum bhai..." Shree accused Arjun in the way.
"Acha...kiska zid hain...bhabhi ka gift lena hain." Arjun countered whacking his head slightly.
"Toh...late apke wajah horahe hum..kitne slow chalate aap. Aapke ghadise se jyada cycle teezchalta hain...dekho..." Pointing out of window..." Itna fast car, aur itna slow.... Aur mujhe haath bhi lagane nahi dete aap....." Shree sulked looking at him.
"Chup kar dramebaaz, car issliye nahi chalana deta kyunki teri fast driving ghar mei sabko pata hain...agar phirse tease karoge toh.....joh bike pe tu ghumta haina usko aur tera license dono seize karunga mei..." Arjun warned him, "Bade aye slow chalate kehenwala...tere yahi fast driving ke karan kya huwa shimla mei bhul gaye kya...batao sabko ghar mei.."
"Woh keval ek baar huwa...aur woh ek bet thi..kitne baar tane marenge usko lekar" Shree pouted folding his hands, remembering his accident.
"Ek baar....are you serious....ek hafte tak tu hospital mei tha... So, Don't you even dare to make me remind those Shree.....shukar hain mei ghar mei ya sakshi ko kuch nahi bataya warna wohsab tujhe kabka mumbai wapas anekeliye boldete....aur dad tujhe car kya bike bhi nahi chalane dete..." Arjun reminded him...
"Bhai...aap mere ache bhai hoh na...mei apka eklouta chota bhai .....please, ghar mei kisiko iske baremei nahi patachalna hain....warna dad aur chachu mujhe jarur marenge bale hih woh ek saal purana ki baat kyu na hoh...yeh janke ki ek bet ke karan mei apne jaan khatre mei daal diya aur dad woh toh mujhe ETF mei bhi kaam nahi karnedenge....seedha office mei bithayenge..." Shree said with horrified expression....as their parents are not less protective when it comes to him...
"Pata hain toh nakhre kyu dikhate hoh mere samne...." Arjun smirked njoying his face expressions...
Watchin it Shree sulked, "aap mere mazak uda rahe hoh....nahi baat karna mujhe aapse," Saying he got down and moved from there as Arjun parked the car.
Shaking head at his kiddo brother, Arjun also walked inside. The team looked shocked seeing Arjun there that too in traditional attire. All gaped seeing him in sea green sherwani.
"Haila...Yeh humhara Arjun sir hih na?" Chotu whispered quietly to his team members.
While the family looked at him with smile. Arjun first went to DIG sir talking with him and took elders blessings, which shocked the team who were joined by Shree.
At the sametime someone called him, "Arjun bhaiya." Arjun turned smiling at the voice...the voice was of DIG daughter sheen. Who came and hugged Arjun tightly.
"Kaise hain aap bhaiya..." Sheen asked him.
"Mei theek huh...tu bata kaisi hai..teri padai kaisi chalrahi." Arjun asked softly while team who knew he has soft corner for her didnot notice any difference.
"Acha hain sab...koi aapka wait karraha hain." Sheen smirked dragging him from there with teasing smile.
Here inside the room Sakshi was still getting ready. Arjun without knocking the door entered inside and saw her struggling to tie the knot.
Closing the door he moved towards her back facing him....he gently took the strings from her hands startling her...but looking at his face through the mirror..."Arjun...aap ander kaise aye?"
"Door se jaan...aur yeh kya tum lock kyu nahi ki?" Arjun questioned her.
"Lock nahi lagrahi aur sheen ko bahar rehnekeliye boli....pata nahi yeh ladki kaha gayi." Sakshi complained twisting her lips.
Arjun shook his head knowing Sheen came to him seeing him. "Acha...chalo mei yeh bandhne mei help kartha huh."
Sakshi nodded shyly giving a nod. He pulled the knots tightly tying them..while sakshi closed her eyes feeling his fingers on her skin.
With sudden loss of contact she frowned opening her eyes and saw him holding her mangalsutr before her neck. A glint appeared in her eyes seeing it..."Aapne theek karwadiya..."
"Ha...woh kabka bhej chuka ta lekin tera jiju tujhe dena bhulgaya." Arjun replied as Kabir handed him the box which he forgot to give.
Looking at her image in the mirror......he tied it around her neck. Taking sindoor he applied on her forehead..a slight pinch falling on her nose. "Waise tujhe kuch aur pehen ki jarurat nahi...lekin tere devar kuch gift laya tumhare liye." Saying Arjun took out the box which he brought with him.
Sakshi opened the box excitedly...her excitement turned into suprise seeing uncut diamond polki set....which exactly matches with her green lehenga. "Arjun...yeh.." her voice was thick.
"Yeh usne apne paise se liya....pura isspe karch kardiya." Arjun whispered helping her wearing it.
"Par..Arjun, apko rokhna chahiyena...uske pura mehnat isspar rakhdiya." Sakshi whispered tracing the necklace with love.
"Roka...lekin pata hain kya bola usne...mujhe joh chahiye aaplog mujhe dete hoh...toh isspaise ka mei kya karu...yeh hain uska answer. Tumdono bikul ek jaise hoh...tum uskeliye sab lakar deti hoh aur woh tumhara liye." Arjun chuckled fondly keeping the maangtika on her partition covering the sindoor....while her necklace concealed her mangalsutr.
Turning towards him she asked, "kaisi dikh rahi huh."
"Humesha ki tarah ..bikul pari jaisi lagrahi tum...jaan!" Arjun whispered pressing a kiss on her forehead.
He took kajal from her eyes keeping behind her ear..."kisiki nazar na lage."
Looking at her with love..."Mann kartha hain tumhe apne ankhon se dur hih na karu..." Making her blush. "Arjun...bas kijiye kitna tareef karenge aap.." she mumbled hiding her face into him. Wrapping his arms around her, "jitna bhi tarif karu utna kaam hain...jaan...I love you."
"Love you too Arjun.." sakshi whispered softly.
"We love you three..." A voice came from the door startling them both who seperated instantly. Arjun turning around glared at the four, "Agai kabab mei hadhi banne.." he grumbled which made Sakshi blush.
"Abh bata bhi doge ki tum char bandar yaha kyu aye hoh...aur knock karne ka koi cheez hain ki nahi tumlogon ke dictionary mei." Arjun huffed at the four.
"Humhe kya pata door khuli huyi thi..ander agai" Sameer smirked giving hifive to Kabir while Shree and sheen hifived at eachother laughing at them.
Listening to sheen laugh sakshi glared at her, "Sheen ki bachi...tujhe meine bahar rehnekeliye boli na...kaha gai tu...agar koi andar atha toh.."
"Bhabhi...woh Arjun bhaiya aye tey...unko mile ek harsa hogai...excitment mei bhulgayi...sorry!" Sheen catched her ears evaporating Sakshi's anger.
"Koi baat nahi...aur jiju... carpenter lo bhulake door theek karwadijiye." Sakshi said as they would forget afterwards.
"Acha...baate toh hota rehta hain...pooja ka samai horaha hain...chalo sab." Kabir informed them.
Samjun and kabir went down first. Sakshi stopped shree, "Thankyou shree...yeh haar keliye."
Smiling at her..."tumpar bahut sunder hain...tumhe pasand ayi na."
Nodding at him they descended down. The hall went silent seeing her coming down as she was not looking less then Angel with lights focussing on her. Sakshi didnot realise anything as she was busy talking with sheen.
Chotu whispered, "Waah...sakshi kya kamal ki lagrahi aaj.." to the team.
"Haa..chotu bahut beautiful hain sakshi...aur uspe koi bhi dress achi hih lagti." Shree said who joined them silently.
He gazed turned to Liza and a word escaped from him..."Beautiful!"
"Wahi toh mei bhi wahi bola shree.." chotu replied bringing him from his thoughts. Shree looking here and there..."kya hogai shree...uss chipkali ko beautiful bolrahi hoh.." but again his eyes went on her who is looking splendid in light green anarkali matched with pink duppata,..and small pearl drop earings giving a simple het ekegant look...her beauty increased more with the smile. Liza realizing someone staring at her turned her eyes to look which got locked with him.
Seeing his stare she blushed looking at him who is looking handsome in his green sherwani.
If everyone can observe...all could notice the similarity in their dresses as all came from same stylist which Liza and Ayesha were unaware. Sakshi made customized for the occasion according to theme.
Riya was unaware of their thoughts...she was glancing at Sakshi intently to decode her...and mainly staring at her neck to get glimpse of mangalsutr to know her thoughts were right or not.... but the necklace which shree gave was hiding it very well.
The pandit called everyone for pooja. Sakshi coming towards the team..."Sameer...Arjun..aapdono ayiye na bappa ka sthapana karna hain." Saying she dragged them not to make anyone suspicious.
Sheen who was silent on sakshi signal..."Shree..bhaiya aap yaha kya karrahe hai...ayiyena mere saath..mei akeli huh." Saying she dragged shree front.
The team who knew their bond didnot felt any suspicion. As elders stood surrounding them with their few internal staff and families, the team could not concentrate on what was going front.
Kabir, Shree and samjun placed the idol on decorated table. While, sheen and Sakshi placed a cloth on idol along with garland.
The pooja started and everyone attention was on it. At the time of Arthi...the preist handed the arthi to Kabir while...Arjun and Sameer held it from sides...followed by sakshi and Shree on Arjun's side and Sheen on Sameer's side.
The six of them did the arthi....while the elders looked at them proudly.
"Itne saalon baad...insabko eksaath pooja karthe dekhe manko shanti mili..." Manish whispered slowly.
"Bas...uski kami hain." Rajveer mumbled slowly.
"Abh joh hogai so hogai...humhari rosh kabhi nahi chahegi ki hum sab udaas hoh...woh humhare beech mei nahi hai toh kya...humhare dilon mei humesha rehegi." Suryakant whispered not to spoil the moments.
Sakshi taking thaali...gave everyone arthi and prasad taking elders blessings...she then went to her team members. Seeing her close everyone eyes stucked to her.. "Sakshi bahut beautiful lagrahi hoh.."
"Tum bhi kuch kaam nahi lagrahi Ayesha...Sameer ne gift diya na...dekho unke Nazhar hath hih nahi rahi tumsee." sakshi teased her giving prasad. She complimented everyone and looking at Liza..."Shree ne di tumhe...mujhe laga nahi denge."
Liza frowned at her, "Tumhe yeh sab kaise pata."
"Kyunki woh mujhe lekar gaye ..meri opinion lene." Sakshi replied moving to others.
Riya scrutinized her but sighed as there is nothing suspicious..."Ri..tu kaama ka sochrahi hoh...Sakshi itni badi baat kyu chupayegi...par ussdin woh shree ko kaise hug karrahi thi...woh sab kya hain...sakshi hain kaun."
Her gaze fell on Arjun who was standing ideal...making her face fell as she could see him looking at Sakshi while he didnot spare a glance at her from the time he arrived.
After pooja...the guests dispersed randomly taking chairs to talk with eachother as there is time for dinner...the team stood at one side talking with eachother. Sam-jun were with their parents though it looked to team that only because of DIG family they are there.
Sakshi going to Kabir......"jiju apna drama shuru kijiye..." She whispered slowly in his ears....glancing at Shree.
Kabir gave her a look..."Tum kyu mujhe apne maut ki taraf khuredne chahte hoh ...agar tera pati aur bhai ko pata chala ki unke pyaare chote bhai ko dukh diya toh mera kair nahi."
"Jiju...woh sab mujh par chodo...Shree ko apne pyaar ka ehsaas hona jaruri hain warna yeh dono zindagi bar ekdusre ko aise hih taane marthe rahega aur nahi inka gadi aage chalegi.." sakshi whispered.
"Teri yeh khurafati kisi aur se karo...mujhe hih kyu fasa rahe hoh.." Kabir glared at her.
"Kyunki...joh reaction shree apko dekhar dengnd woh baki mei nahi hoga..."
"Aur aisa kyu..."
"Pehla aap usse Roshini jiji ko cheen liya...bhulgaye aap.....kitna drama kiya aapko accept karnekeliye woh......dusra aap doctor hoh jisse shree sabse jyada chidta hain...aur humhare liye plus point kyunki Liza bhi ek doctor hain...aapdonon ko dekhkar woh jarur jalega...." Sakshi explained her logic.
Shaking his head..." Kartha huh lekin Arjun Rawte ki gusse se tumko hih bachana hain."
As per their plan Kabir went towards Liza...."Hello...Liza."
Liza turning towards him smiled cutely, "Hello Dr Kabir..."
"Just call me Kabir...bahut sunna tumhare bare mei sakshi se...you are quite talented." Kabir praised her genuinely. They both started talking casually.
Here Sakshi going towards shree, "Bappa....maaf karo, mujhe...aaj tak shree ko kabhi dard nahi diya lekin yeh ladka kuch samajtey hih nahi. Itne saal dono ekhih clg mei pada lekin yeh abhitak apne feelings pehchan nahi paye...issliye mujhe ussko dard dene padrahi....taki yeh apna muh khole aur apne feelings ko accept Kare."
"Chotu...waha dekho Humhari Liza kitne khush lagrahi." She said loudly grabbing his attention.
Shree turning to see stood shocked seeing her smile which mesmerized him...but frowned as she was laughing with his jiju...went green with jealousy. Here sakshi was enjoying his expressions.
Shree with jealousy walked towards them, "Mr Singhania, agar apko koi jarurat kaam nahi toh mujhe Liza se kuch baat karne hain." Saying he caught her hand and dragged from there without listening to Kabir who had teasing smirk.
Liza was confused seeing his behaviour, when Shree dragged her to garden she asked, "Specky...kya hain yeh sab."
"Mei bhi wahi puch raha huh...kya tha woh sab ander....Mr Singhania ke samne bahut hass hass ke baat karrahi thi tum." Shree glared at her.
Observing his expression she smiled inwardly, "Acha janab ko jalan horaha hai.." .... with blank expression, "woh Kabir kuch joke kehraha toh hassi..ismei kya hain aur tum mujhe bahar kyu lekar aya."
Shree gave a glare making her stop, "bas aise hih." He said without saying what was going with him.
"Pata hain Specky...yahi hoga tumhara jawab.....aur waise mei kiske saath baat karu, kiske saath hassu...usse tumhe koi matlab nahi hone chahiye." Liza huffed at him and went inside though she had small smile on her face seeing his jealousy.
After her exit, Shree stood ideally, "Baat toh sahi kahi yeh...lekin mujhe acha nahi lagta woh kissi aurr ke saath hasse, baate kare...pata nahi par bura lagta... chahe woh mera apne jiju hih kyu na hoh."
This was observed by Sakshi and Kabir who stood behind pillar seeing them, "Tera devar ka kuch nahi hoskatha... Kitna acha mauka tha Liza ko apni mann ki baat batane ki...lekin yeh kuch samjte hih nahi."
"Wahi..jiju...issliye mujhe dakal deni padi....Maa.. Sameer aur shree ki shadi karwani chahte.. Ayesha aur Liza ko mam our choti maa ko dikhane keliye hih meine sabko invite kiya." Sakshi replied remembering the talks how they want to do Sameer marriage first and them Shree's.
"Woh toh ladki ko dekhne chahte bhai keliye...meine rokha yeh kehke ki Bhai kisise pyaar karthe aur unko prove karnekeliye puri team ko invite kiya.."
"Choti....tu ghar mei sabke khayal rakhti...teenon parivaar ko ek Dori mei bandh ke rakhe hoh...aur Teenon ghar ki beti ki farz bhi achsese nibha rahe hoh...lekin apna dyaan bhi rakha karo...mei abhi tak Arjun ko nahi bataya...teri panicattacks ke bare mei...agar usse pata chalega woh bardash nahi karpayega." Kabir said in serious tone.
"Jiju..uske baremei Arjun ko kisibhi kemat par nahi pata hone chahiye...woh tooth jayega." Sakshi whispered, feeling guilt as she hided about her medical condition...as after Roshini death she experienced frequent attacks...mainly in dark.. which Arjun is unaware as they sent her to London immediately. Kabir got to know by chance when he went to London to attend a conference and thought to give her suprise. So, he went to meet her...on that night when there was power cut he got to know everything. Kabir wanted to inform Arjun as she needs him most but Sakshi stopped him. From then he visited her every month to check upon her and also suggested treatment.
Remembering everything she hugged him, "Thanks..Jiju." in gratitude.
"Chup kar..Pagli...Jiju huh tumhara.....Roshini ko wada kiya teri chehre se muskhurahat ko kabhi jane nahi dunga." He whispered stroking her hair.
This was observed by Riya who came out talking in her phone. Riya frowned not understanding anything...she remembered Her closeness with Shree...then this. "Yeh sakshi yeh kya....dikhne mei Arjun sir ki bahut parwa karthi...lekin sabse chupke Shree ko gala lagathi, aur abh yeh Kabir se bhi ...kya rishta hain Sakshi ka Kabir se...kahi yeh dono pati-patni to nahi .." remembering the mangalsutr..."lekin Phir Arjun sir ka khayal rakhna...shree se aise close rehna...yeh sab...kuch samaj nahi arrahi...mujhe sakshi par nazar rakhni chahiye...kahi iske karan Arjun sir yaa shree ka dil na toothe." With that thoughts she went inside.
What she failed to see that Arjun was on otherside watching jiju-saali with fond smile. "Abh tum dono ka hogaya toh...Dr Kabir...mere biwi ko chodenge aap." Arjun said moving towards them.
Kabir laughing, hid sakshi behind him, "Nahi...saale saheb...Sakshi mere saath rahegi. Iss ghar ki beti joh hain."
Sakshi smirked at Arjun from behind enjoying his jealousy..."Tujhe badi hassi arahi..Jaan...bhulo mat akhir mei tumhe mere paas hih ana hain." Arjun narrowed his eyes at her.
Kabir chuckling at him pushed her slightly that she fell straight into Arjun slamming on his hard body..."Tumdono ke beech haddi nahi banna mujhe." He said moving from there..."Ander jaldi aao Dinner shuru hoga."
Ignoring him Arjun wrapped his arms around her waist pulling her close. Inhaling her scent, "Jaan..."
Sakshi was no different, her state was not different from him. Tracing his fingers on her face he pulled her into backyard so no one can see them., "Jaan..aaj to tum chandh se bhi jyada khubsurat hoh...issliye tumhe dekhkar Chand bhi chupgaya." Arjun whispered trying to look at sky but Sakshi acting fast closed his eyes with her hand..."Arjun...yeh kya karrahe aap...aaj chaturthi hain...chand ko nahi dekhte ..apshagun hota hai."
Though he don't belive all those, for her sake he nodded, removing her hand...he gazed her intensely, "acha theek hain nahi dekhunga....waise bhi mera chand samne hih toh hain." Saying he started showering kisses on her....finally taking her lips into his kissing senselessly.
They both parted, sakshi keeping her head on his chest...gasped for breath. Once their breathing came to normal...pressing a kiss her on hair, "Chalo...ander chalte hain."
