Part 1

"26 saal pehle Uttarayan pe kya hua tha?" asked an eager Anupama.

"Tu pehle bata ki tu Anuj ke ghar par hi hai kya?"

"Ha. Main toh wahin pe hoon par Anuj aur kaka nahi hain. Woh AK tekshtile ki meeting me gaye hain. Toh.. tu saanti se bata."

"Okay, great! Uttarayan ke liye na college me sab bahot excited the! Ek hafte pehle se apne partners se secretly milne ke plans bana rahe the! Bas, ek hi mahan insan tha jo chupchap baitha hua tha!"

.................................

Devika saw Anuj sitting in the college parking area lost deep in thoughts.

"Anuj?.. Kya hua Anuj? Yahan kyun bulaya mujhe?"

"Devika.. mujhe teri ek help chahiye yaar."

"Dekh, agar tu yeh chah raha hai ki main Anu ko, kisi bahane se, Uttarayan pe tujhse milvaun toh sorry boss! Uski mummy bahot zyada strict hai! Aur unko pata hai ki mere ghar pe boys ka aana jana allowed hai. Isiliye woh use mere ghar ya mere saath kahin bahar bhi nahi bhejengi!"

"Tune mujhe Bunty samajh rakha hai kya!? Aise stupid ideas uske dimag me aate hain, mere nahi! Main apni wish puri karne ke liye tujhe aur usko kisi problem me nahi dalunga, okay?"

"Got it! Chal bata, kya help chahiye?"

"Kal Anu class me jitni khush hokar tujhse picchli Uttarayan ki baat kar rahi thi usse mujhe pata chal gaya ki use patangbazi ka bahut shauq hai!"

"Ha woh toh patangbazi ki champion hai! Uttarayan uske favorite festivals me se hai! "

"Mere mama Surat se patang, manjha, ghari (sweet) aur bahot kuch lekar aaye hain! Un me se kuch cheezein main.. Anu ko dena chahta hoon. Tu use de degi?"

"Areh, bilkul! Tumhari love story ko dhakka maarne ke liye hi toh mera janam hua hai!"

"Shut up! Sun.. Tu use batana mat ki maine diya hai! Aur aunty ko toh bilkul bhi pata nahi chalna chahiye!"

"Nahi bataungi baba! Dont worry!"

"Thank you! College chhootne ke ek ghante bad teri colony ke gate par mujhse mil."

"Done!"

.............................

Anuj gave her several kites, flying lanterns, two packets of snacks and two boxes of ghari.

"Ek dabba farsan aur ghari tere liye hai aur ek Anu ke liye."

"Thank you! Surti manjha kahan hai?"

"Woh bahot tez hota hai. Anu ya uske bhai ka haath kat gaya toh? Uska bhai toh kitna chhota hai!"

Devika raised an eyebrow suspiciously.

"Tune uske bhai ko kab dekha?"

"Woh fun fair me uske saath aaya tha tab dekha tha. 10-12 saal ka hi hoga."

"Kya baat hai?! Mehbooba toh mehbooba, sale sahab ki itni fiqar?!"

He ignored her jibe.

"Sari patangon me maine kanni bandh di hai. Yeh dekh.. Yeh wali patang sabse sundar hai!"

She saw her name painted in white alongside Anu's name on a multicoloured kite having a long tail.

"Ek taraf Devika toh ek taraf Anu! hmmm... Sahi hai beta!"

"Anu me Anupama aur mere.. dono ke naam aa gaye!"

"Yahan bhi mujhe kabab me haddi bana hi diya! Tu apne moonh se bhi use kabhi kuch bolega? Mujhe toh laga tha ki tu zidd karega ya chhipkar us se milne ki koshish karega par tera toh scene hi alag hai!"

"Jab sahi mauka aayega main bol dunga! Abhi tu bol, use yeh sab degi ya nahi?"

"Main de dungi. Koi special message dena ho toh woh bhi bata de!"

"Kuch nahi! Tu jab 16th ko college aayegi tab mujhe batana ki uska kya reaction tha! Mere liye woh khush ho jaye utna bahot hai!"

.................................

Anupama smiled in reminiscence.

"Yaad aaya! Tune kaha tha ki tere pappa ke dost woh sab laye hain. Us patang pe humare nam dekhkar Bhaves jidd karne laga ki use apna naam bhi likhna hai!"

"Kitni mushqil se usko convince kiya tha ki tu baki ki sari patango pe apna naam likh le par isko baksh de!"

"Ha aur usne phataphat likh bhi diya, maano naam nahi likha hoga toh uski patang chori ho jayegi!"

They shared a laugh.

"Woh patang sach me bahot sundar thi! Ek dum unchi udi thi ha! Unhone itni sari patange bheji lekin ek bhi patang jara bhi nahi phati!"

"Woh toh hona hi tha! "Unhone" chun chun ke sabse achchhi patange tere liye di thi! Yaad hai, aunty ne mujhse farsan aur ghari lekar us hi plastic ke dabbe me rajgira ke laddoo bhar diye the. Aur tune ek alag dabbe me kachariyu (sweet) diya tha!"

"Ha. Woh maine tab garam garam banaya tha ne isiliye shteel ke dabbe me bhara tha. Anuj ko.. kachariyu pasand aaya tha?"

"Tu soch bhi nahi sakti usne kya kiya tha! Humlogo ne pehle se decide kar rakha tha ki 16th ko class shuru hone se pehle hum auditorium ke peechhe milenge. Jab main wahan pahuchi toh Anuj tension me yahan se wahan chakkar laga raha tha.."

...............................

"Hi Anuj!"

Anuj nearly ran towards her.

"Sab theek raha na? Aunty ko pata toh nahi chal gaya?"

"Nahi Chintaamani! Sab bilkul perfect raha! Kisiko mujh pe shaq nahi hua. Anu ko sari cheezein bahot pasand aayi aur usne abhi mujhse kaha ki usne woh naam wali patang sabse pehle udaayi!"

His face lit up instantly with a 1000 watt smile.

"Thank you, thank you, thank you so much! High five?"

"Oh yes! By the way, tere liye ek.. actually do surprises hain!"

She gave the plastic box first.

"Sasuma ne rajgira laddoo bheje hain aur.."

She stressed on the aur with a cheeky smile.

"Aur kya hai?" he prodded impatiently.

"Mehbooba ke haath ka kachariyu hai!"

He nearly leapt at the steel tiffin.

"Wow! I can't believe this!"

Opening the lid, he took in a whiff of the nutty aroma before literally digging into it.

"Areh, ghee bhara hai usme! Chammach toh use kar!"

He licked his fingers clean.

"Waah yaar! Maza hi aa gaya! Thank you so much Devika! Tujhe toh jitni bar thank you kahu kam padega!"

"Rehne de bhai! Agle festival se pehle Anu ko propose kar aur mujhe meri duty se azad kar de! Utna kafi hoga mere liye!"

"Fingers crossed! Waise yeh.. dabba uska hai ya tera?"

"Uska hi hai. Aur mujhe aaj wapis bhi dena hai. Parso se mere pass pada hua hai."

"Tu ruk ja.."

He tore two pin pages from his fullscape notebook and gave one to her.

"Tu exactly kar kya raha hai?"

"Shanti raakh ne maari maa!"

He opened his tiffin box and transferred its contents on the first pin page.

"Dhyan se, girana mat! Aaj ma ne mere favourite ponkh ke cheeley diye hain. Woh hi Anu ke dabbe me dalkar de raha hoon."

He emptied the kachariyu in his empty tiffin and wiped Anupama's box clean with the other pin page.

Then he placed the cheelas inside it.

"Yeh meri ma ke special cheeley hain jo sirf sardiyon me hi bante hain! Lunch time me tu bhi uske saath kha lena!"

"Thank you! Main bilkul kha lungi! Aur kuch hai ya main jaun? Anu soch rahi hogi ki main kahan reh gayi."

"Bas ek minute ruk ja.. "

She was surprised when he removed a fifty rupee note from his wallet.

"Ab yeh kya hai?"

"Sara kachariyu main akele thode hi na khaunga! Thoda sa ma ke liye bhi le jaunga. Aur unki aadat hai- jab pehli bar kisike haath ka khana khati hain toh badle me shagun deti hain! Us din Mukku ne pehli bar jam toast banaya tha tab ma ne usko 21 rupaye diye the."

"Aunty kitni sweet hai yaar!"

"Yeh unki aur.. meri taraf se Anu ko de dena! Ek rupaiyye ka sikka nahi hai yaar mere pass!"

He rummaged through his wallet and bag.

"Chill kar! Main apni taraf se dal dungi. Tu bad me mujhe de dena."

"Tu use kis bahane se degi?"

"Tu uski tension mat le. Main bolungi meri mummy ne diya hai! Chal, ab jaun?"

"Ha. Tu ja. Main thoda aur khane bad aata hoon!"

................................

Anupama was moved to tears.

"Bina bataye, bina jataye itna kuch.."

"Woh toh hamesha se aisa hi raha hai, Anu. Jo mile, jitna mile usme hi khush ho jata hai! Tu bhi toh waisi hi hai! Ek toh tum dono ne apni equation me pehle se mujhe scooter ka side car banakar rakha tha!"

Anupama laughed through her tears.

"Jab maine apni side car hata di toh tum dono ne Mukku ki side car ko add kar diya! Par ab bahot ho gaya! Jaldi se bike pe aa jao!"

"Main kabse batana chahti thi, Devika. Par Mukku aur Anuj ke beechh ab tak sab theek nahi hua hai.."

"Ha, tab hi toh Anuj ko tere pyar aur saath ki sabse zyada zaroorat abhi hai! Mukku toh therapy ke liye Mumbai gayi hi hai. Use theek hone me bahot time lagega. Tumne pehle hi itne saal kho diye hain, Anu. Yeh hi sahi mauka hai, bol de!"

"Tu theek keh rahi hai. Main sankranti pe unhe bata hi dungi!"

"That's like my gal! Par us mad house me.. I mean Shah house me tujhe privacy ka p bi nahi milega! Isiliye wahan jane se pehle hi bata dena."

"Bhaley! Thank you Devika! Tune hum dono ka bahot saath diya hai!"

"You're welcome baby! Chal ab main rakhti hoon. Parso milenge, tere proposal ke bad! Phir dekhti hoon dono me se kaun zyada blush karta hai!"

"Ja ne havey!"

She blushed profusely at the thought.

"Bye!!"

Anupama smiled to herself.

"Annuuujjj.. Is bar aapki.. nahi! Humari Uttarayan ko main khaas banaungi! Kanhaji, dhyan rakhjo!"

................................

Anuj and GK returned home around 9.30 pm.

"Jai Shri Krishna!"

"Hi Annu! Jai Shri Krishna! (sighs) Uffff! Thak gayaaa!"

He plopped down on the couch.

"Jai Shri Krishna beta! Tune khana khaya?"

"Nahi kaka. Saath me khayenge ne. Main khana laga doon?"

"Ha. Main jara fresh hokar aata hoon.."

"Bhaley. Annuujj.. aapke liye chocolate milk banaya tha. Abhi doon ya khane ke bad?"

"Thank you Annu! Abhi de do please.. I've had such a long day!"

He removed his tie, wallet, wrist watch, cuff links and gave them all to her.

"Main.. keh rahi thi ki Kinjal ka phone aaya tha. Woh poochh rahi thi hum parso subha kitne baje us ghar jayenge? Matlab nasta wahin pe karenge ya?.."

"Tum apne hisab se rakh lo, Annu. Chaho toh main aur GK tumhe subha subha drop kar denge."

"Drop.. kar denge matlab? Aap.. nahi.. aayenge?"

Her volume dropped with every word.

"Aayenge na par seedhe lunch par! Actually.. Mere parents ka ek tradition tha. Har saal hum sab basi Uttarayan pe Modhera ke Sun temple me darshan karne jaya karte the."

"Par woh toh 15 ko hai ne?"

"Ha par 15th ko ek important meeting aa gayi hai toh.. us din jana possible nahi hoga. Modhera jane aane me hi 4-4.30 ghante lag jayenge isiliye humne decide kiya ki hum Uttarayan pe hi jakar aayenge."

"Theek chhe toh.. Main subha chali jaungi."

"Tu bhi humare saath Modhera chal na beta!" GK chimed in.

Anuj shook his head but GK took no heed of it.

"Sankranti pe Surya Narayan Bhagwan ke darshan karna bahot shubh hota hai!"

"Ha. Mane khabar chhe, kaka."

"Us ghar me toh tune har saal Uttarayan manayi hi hai. Is bar humare saath Modhera chal! Wapis aakar patang uda lenge sabke saath!"

"GK.. Try to understand. Anu ko khana bhi banana hai. Aur wahan sab log us ki raah dekhenge."

To his utter disbelief she said "Main chalungi!"
