Nikki was agitated by CR's suggestion. Her confusion was very clearly visible on her innocent face.
Nikki: kyaa???😕😕
CR: kyun koi pareshaani hain?
Nikki: ji ………ji nahi lekin………
CR: lekin kyaa nikki……..waise bhi RB yaha akele akele kyaa karegi achha hoga woh aapke saath mandir aa jaayegi oonkaa bhi dil bahel jaayegaa………..
Nikki was apprehensive to take RB with her because she was worried about yudi would be there and what if RB will see yudi there than RB might get suspicious. Seeing her lost in thoughts……😕😕
CR: kyun nikki kyaa huva aap soch main kyun pad gayi…….aur RB jayiye aap nikki aur rani ke saath mandir jayiye……aapko achha lagega………
RB : ji chhoti maa…………chaliye nikkiji.😡
Nikki could not refuse CR's suggestion, though with unwillingly, she had to pretend that RB's company would give her greatest happiness.😕😕
Nikki: chaliye .RBji hume bhi bahut achha lagegaa aapke saath……
Rani was eagerly waiting for nikki but the moment she saw RB also coming with nikki rani was worried about the entire situation, in hesitation she looked at nikki who was looking disturbed too.
RB seeing rani : ye naukrani bhi humare saath aa rahi hain,,,,,,,,,,?
Nikki: ji …..RBji……..
RB gave disgusted expression to rani and sat in the car…………..during their ride to temple nikki was looking for the solution of this unwelcomed trouble and rani was also getting anxious.
While approaching to main gate of temple nikki saw all shops selling prayer material she got idea how to tackle this problem.
Nikki: rani aap RBji ko lekar oopar mandir main jayiye hum abhi pujaa kaa saaman le kar aate hain……..
Rani: nikkiji aap kyun taklif karti hain aap oopar jayiye hum samaan lekar aate hain…….
Nikki: rani…hum jo kah rahe hain aap kijiye..kuchh aisa saamaan hain jo aapko nahi maloom hoga….kyaa karnaa hain aap jayiye hum thodi der main aate hain……..
Rani understood that nikki was up to something so she nodded in affirmative and with RB she went towards the stair.
Nikki was desperately waiting for yudi to arrive as soon as possible because it was not advisable to wait there for long. In few minutes time nikki spotted yudi coming towards temple gate she rushed towards him before anybody could see him or he went directly to main temple looking after rani.
Nikki: bhaiya…thaheriye…..
Yudi looked around in the direction of voice and he spotted nikki very near to him.
Yudi: nikki aap eetni paresaan kyun lag rahi hain……..
Nikki explained to yudi about RB and her presence here in temple. Yudi was very upset but this time he was too determined that whatever may take he would meet rani. he had been trying to meet rani since very long and today he wanted to share very important and happy news with her.😳😳
Yudi: ye RB se to hum ab paresaan ho gaye hain.lekin kuchh bhi ho jaye aaj hum rani se mil kar rahenge.😳
Nikki: bhaiya aap chinta mat kijiye hum kuchh karte hain…aap ek kaam kijiye mandir ke pichhle waale hisse main jayiye aur rani kaa intzaar kijiye……RB kaa bandobast hum karte hain………
Nikki went to main temple part where rani and RB were praying.
Nikki: RBji hume panditji ne bataayaa aaj kuchh maha puja hain yaha par aur agar shadi shuda aurte ya jinki shadi hone waali ho woh……..ladkiya .pipal ke ped ki lal dhage ke saath pradakshina karenge to oonke pati ki omar lambi hongi ………..pandiji ne kaha hain ki aapko ye puja karni chaahiye……….to chaliye hum aapko waha le jaate hain 😉😉😉aur rani aap jaake………..mandir ke pichhli hisse main jaha nadi hain waha se pani leke yaha abhishek kijiye…….😉😉
Nikki looked at rani with indicative stare and that gave rani hunch that yudi might be waiting there for rani.😳😳
Nikki led RB to the temple part where all women were praying around pipal tree.
Nikki: RBji hum to waha nahi jaa shakte lekin aap yaha se ye pavitra lal dhaga lijiye aur 108 baar ……pipal ki pradkshina karke……….ees dhage ko bhi saath main baandhte jayiye…….😆😆😆
RB was frighten hearing that she has to take 108 rounds around this huge tree. RB perspired only thinking about it.😆😆
RB: 108 baar……ye kuchh jyaadaa nahi hain………hum to thak jaayenge………😆😆
Nikki: ye aap kaisi baat kar rahi hain…….are jab pitaaji ko pataa chalegaa ki aapne bhaiya ke liye eetnaa sab kuchh kiyaa to aapke prati oonkaa jo maan hain woh……..aur bhi badh jaayegaa…😉😉..woh……….humeshaa garv se kahete aap kis tarah se sab vrat aur tap karti hain………🤢🤢
Hearing about vrat and tap , RB remember the incident took place in the morning while saving her from RS yudi blurt out that RB had to do fasting whole day without eating and drinking anything. RB thought this brother and sister would kill her by making her doing all kind of prayer……😆😆😆..but there wasn't any option left for her other than to follow instruction given to her at least to maintain her reputation in front of RS.
RB: nahi hum to sirf aise hi puchh rahe the ……hum abhi puja karke aate hain aap yahi rahiye……..
Nikki breath for sigh that RB would be busy here at least more than half hour and because of that yura would get enough time to exchange their emotions.😳
Behind temple, yudi was sitting near riverbank, lost in his thoughts. Yudi was too absorbed in his thought that he did not realize when rani came near to him and sat down beside him. This is the first time it had happened that Rani's presence did not create any effect on yudi and rani was puzzled seeing that. Affectionately, rani looked at yudi who was looking gloomy, dishearten, and thinking about something very deeply. For few moments rani kept looking at him quietly and when he did not stirred from his trance, rani kept her hand gently on his hand.😳😳
Rani: kunvarji…………kyaa soch rahe hain aap?
Yudi: are rani aap aagayi? Hume to pataa bhi nahi chalaa aap kab aayi………
Rani: yahi to hum puchh rahe hain aap se ki aap aise kaun se khayaalo main kho gaye ki humare aane tak kaa andeshaa aapko nahi huva………kuchh paresaani hain?
Yudi: nahi kuchh paresaani nahi …bas hume to…….yu hi
Rani turned yudi's face towards her because yudi was trying to avoid rani's steady gaze to hide his confusion.
Rani: aap hume nahi bataayenge……….aapki paresaani……?
Yudi took rani's hand in his hand gave gentle squeeze with warmth.
Yui : rani koi baat nahi hain hum to ees nadi ko dekh kar bas……kuchh soch main pad gaye the…
Rani was confused: nadi ko dekh kar……….?😕😕
Yudi: haan …….dekhiye naa kitni shaant aur somya lagti hain ye baheti huyi nadi……aur kitni sthirtaa se bah rahi hain apni manzil ki aur…….aur apne saath saath apne aas paas ke vataavaran ko khushnuma banaati………..
Rani: haa baat to aapne sahi kahi kunvarji lekin………ye sochiye ki nadi har waqt itni shant ya sthir nahi hoti…………
Yudi: sahi kahaa aapne…..kitne bhinn swaroop woh…….dharan karti hain apne pravah ke darmiyaa…………jab woh..pahaado se udgam hoti hain to bilkul ek chanchal si ladki ki taraha……..ghirti……..sambhalti aur ek ulhad navyouvanaa ki taraha ek jarnaa banke baheti hain khil khilaati huyi……….aur kitna jivant vatavaran lagtaa hain nadi ke ees roop ko dekh kar…….
Rani: aur jab woh…..khule medaan se hoke baheti hain to jaise ek samajdaar , thaherav sabhar yuvati ki tarah…..apne raaste main aane wale har sankat ko jelti lekin saath main kheto ko van smrudhi ko nav jeevan bakshati……….apne saath saath woh……..har ek ko hariyaali se khushiyo se bhar deti………..lekin badle main oose kyaa miltaa ……….patthar, gandaki, aur naa jaane kyaa kyaa lekin phir bhi woh janjaati ke madad roop hoke baheti raheti…….apni manzil ki aur……..apne saagar se milne ke liye betaab……..😳😳
Yudi with very depressive tone😕: lekin har ek nadi ke nasib main sagar se Milan nahi hota rani😭😭….kayi nadiye apne Milan ke sapne ko apne saath le kar registaan main yaa kahi aur dahrti ki god main lupt ho jaati hain……..aur ooske nasib main…..tanhayi aur virah ke allaavaa kuchh nahi rahetaa ..sirf auro ko khushi dena, auro ke liye santaap sahenaa aur auro ke liye hi apnaa jivan vyatit kar denaa……..apnaa khud kaa kuchh nahi…….😭😭
Rani looked at yudi who was very distressed about something. It did not fail rani to notice yudi's sorrow that was clearly visible on his face. Because it was contradicting with the fact that yudi was supposed to be very happy as after many turbulence and obstacles they were meeting today peacefully but instead of rejoicing those moment yudi was worried about something else.
Rani: kunvarji ………aap nikki ji ko lekar paresaan hain?
Yudi was astonished by rani's thoughtfulness as he was indeed worried about nikki because of whatever happened in the morning and while he was sitting here and saw river suddenly these thoughts arise in his mind unintentionally.
Yudi: ji rani ….aaj subha jo kuchh bhi huvaa hume achha nahi lagaa ..humaari wajah se nikki ke zakham phir se hare ho gaye……….jis bahen ke chahere par khushi ki ek laher dekh ne ke liye hum kuchh bhi kar sakte hain oose aaj humari wajah se apne zakhmo ko khurednaa padaa……😭😭.
Rani: kunvarji aap ees wajah ke liye apne aap ko dhoshi mat maaniye…..ees main aapki koi galti nahi hain……..
Yudi: aap sach kah rahi hain galti to oos RBjiki hain..agar woh…..chup raheti aur dress ke baare main kuchh naa kaheti………….
Rani: lekin kunvarji aapko oonke saamne humare liye tohfaa nahi lenaa chaahiye thaa……warnaa ye naubat nahi aati
Rani: koi baat nahi ab biti baato se dhul oodaane ka koi matlab nahi hain kyunki……..pyaaz(onion) ke undar kyaa hain ye dhundhne keliye ooske saare avaran door karne par sirf chhilke hi haath aayenge…….aur mirchi se mithaas ki abhilaashaa rakhne se sirf muh hi jalegaa aur kuchh nahi hoga ………to bahetari ees main hi hain ki oos bat ko aap bhool jaaye…
Yudi:aur agar hum misari ko muh laggayenge to kyaa ho gaa……(yudi's intense gaze was enough to give rani tangling sensation near her stomach. She started to chew her lower lip in between her teeth as she understood what yudi was indicating by misari)😳😳
rani saw one envelope in yudi's hand so to change the topic she asked him about it.
Rani: are kunvarji ye lifaafaa kaisa hain jisko aap badi jatan se pakde huve hain..koi aur tohfaa hain humare liye?????
Yudi suddenly remembered: are haan dekhiye…ees RB ki baato main hum to aapko khush khabari hi denaa bhool gaye…
Rani: khush khabari??????????
Yudi: ji haa……aur ye khush khabari aapko hum de to badle main hume kyaa milegaa……..?(Yudi had mischievous smile)
And he took rani's hand in his hand and looked at her passionately.
Rani blushed and lowered her eyes, at far horizon, sun was setting and its various orange shades were reflecting on Rani's radiant beaming face,with quivering voice she replied.
Rani: ab ye to hum khush khabari jaan ne ke baad tey karenge ki kyaa denaa chaahiye….khabar dene waale ko.
Yudi: hmmmmmmm to khabar ye hain janaab ki aapka admission ho gayaa hain college main…………aur ab aapka aur aapke mata pita kaa sapnaa jo ab humaaraa ho chukaa hain woh…..pura hoga…….
Rani was overjoyed by this news: kyaa???????/ sach????humaaraa matlab hain ye sab kaise ho gayaa eetni jaladi……..
Yudi in romantic tone : ab jab baat humari rani ji ki ho to ye to honaa hi thaa…..ab kahiye kyaa milegaa hume
(he pulled rani bit near to him and arranged few hair strands those were covering her face.)
Rani: ab ye khush kabri jo aapne hume di hain eeske badle main aapka muh mitha hum karenge……….abhi aap puchh rahe the naa misari ko muh lagaane se kyaa hogaa ab hum aapko bataate hain kyaa hoga…..(mischievously rani looked at yudi )😳😳😳
Rani gave Prasad to yudi that she was holding in her another hand.
Rani's face had turned red but she did grant yudi's wish by feeding him Prasad by her own hand.
Yudi: aap khush to hain naa rani…..kyunki hum bahut khush hain……….ji chahtaa hain ki ye khushiyaa hum sabke saath baate……
Rani was suddenly worried about something.😕😕
Rani: nahi kunvarji hum bahut khush hain lekin ……ye sab kaise hoga ….matlab ye padhayi aur……….sab kuchh……
Yudi: aap ees baat ki chinta hum par chhod dijiye…….aapki padhaayi main hum aapki madad karenge…..aur humne headmaster se baat karli hain aap apnaa homework aur baaki sabkuchh online submit kar shakti hain.
Rani: kunvarji.ye aap kyaa kah rahe hain..hume to computer aata bhi nahi aur maan ljiye agar hum shikh bhi jaayenge to computer humare paas mahal main aayegaa kaise agar kisi ko pataa chal gayaa to???????😕😕😕
Yudi: hmmmmbaat sochne laayak to hain lekin aap chinta mat kijiye hum kuchh naa kuchh hal nikaal denge aur nikki se bhi madad lenge…….saksh bhi to hain humare saath…….lekin ek baat hain parikshaa dene ke liye aapko mahal se bahaar jaanaa padegaa……….lekin woh bhi hum kuchh naa kuchh intzaam kar denge…..
Rani: phir bhi hume chinta ho rahi hain..kunvarji kabhi kabhi bahut dar lagtaa hain hume aur lagtaa hain ki hum jo kuchh bhi kar rahe hain woh……sahi to hain naa…….😕😕
Yudi: rani aap jaanti hain……..jab bhi hum ees baare main sochte hain to hume apne aap se dhrinaa hoti hain ki hum ye sab baat kis se chhipaa rahe hain ……..apne mata pita se…….jo hume behad chahte hain??????hume apne aap par sharmindagi hoti hain ki kyaa hum itni bhi himmat nahi rakhte ki samaaj ke saamne aapka haath thaam shake……hume kabhi kabhi lagtaa hain ki hum sab bandhano ko tod kar…….sab ko sab kuchh bataa de phir jo hoga hum sambhaal lenge……lekin…….
Rani was puzzled: lekin kyaa kunvarji?
Yudi; kuchh hain jo hume ye sab karne so roktaa hain….humaare zahen se koi aavaaz oothati hain jo lagaataar hume rok deti hain….pataa nahi kyaa hain woh…😕😕….lekin kuchh baat jaroor hain jo hum mahesoos to kat paate hain lekin ……..shabdo main aapko bayaan nahi kar sakte………….lekin pataa nahi kitne din aur hum ees baat ko chhipaa paye…………lekin ek baat humne tay kardi hain ki hum maa ko sab kuchh bataa denge waise bhi humne adhi baat bataa di hain sirf aapka naam nahi bataayaa lekin hume yakin hain ki maa ye jaankar bahut khush hogi ki humaaraa pyaar humari jindagi aap hain……….😳😳
Yudi cupped Rani's face in his hand and intensely gazing to her, he told those words. Rani was shy and worried that how would she face BR after that.
Suddenly rani realized that they have been talking since very long and RB's prayer might have been finished by than and she did not want to create any problem for Nikki this time. She informed yudi that it was time for her to go back as nikkiji might be waiting for her, however yudi was aware of the limitation but he desired to spend more time with rani.
Yudi could not hide his craving to spend more time with his love, but at other side, he did not want her sister to go through some more pain because of him or did not want that RB should have little bit of clue about Yudi's relation with rani.
Yudi held Rani's hand and looked in her deep eyes with desire.
Rani with lots of affection knowing yudi's state of mind: kunvarji hum jaante hain aap kyaa chahte hain …………..aur yakin maaniye humari bhi yahi chaahat hain lekin phil haal hum samay ke haatho majboor hain………….parantu………..kahete hian............har ek virodhabhasi tatva ke bich ek aisa tatva hota hain jo ees do viprit ……….tatva ko humesaa jod kar rakhtaa hain………….
" jaise niraashaa aur aashaa ke bich……….ummid
Din aur raat ke bich ……..shaam
Dahrti aur aakash ke bich……….kshitij
Oosi praakar……….judayi aur milan ke bich ……….intzaar"
Eesiliye hum kahte hain kunvarji ki intazaar ke alaavaa humare paas kuchh nahi hain………hum jald hi milenge ………….tab tak…..humaari yaande aapke saath rahegi aapka humsafar banke………😳😳
Rani unwillingly slid her hand upward from Yudi's firm grasp to break free. Yudi was trying hard to hold Rani back, just for one more split second… as the thought of letting Rani go in that instant was too much for him to bear. Although she wanted to stay longer with her beloved Yudi, she felt an unrelenting pressure inside her to go back quickly to fulfill her promise to Nikki. Reluctantly she turned and ran towards the temple as she felt the heart strings tug against the attraction she felt for Yudi. Feeling despondent Yudi finally retracted his outstretched hand almost feeling Rani's hand in his long after Rani had already returned to the temple.😭😭
"yudi dekhtaa rahaa rani ko jaate huve. ………….aur ooske pichhe reti main chhoot te ooske kadmo ke nishaano ko………eesi prakaar rani ka pyaar ooske dil aur deemag par ankit ho chukaa thaa……….lekin fark eetnaa thaa ki havaa kaa ek halkaa saa jokaa reti main pade oos nishano ko mitaa ne main kaamyaab ho rahaa thaa jabki koi aandhi bhi aake ooske dil aur deemag se rani ke pyaar ko mita ke liye shaktimaan nahi thee.……….
Kitna khusnuma saa samaa thaa….dhalte huve suraj ne jaise apne sindoori aanchal se saare sansaar ko apni panaah main le liyaa thaa………kashtiyaa lahero kaa daaman chhod kar apne maaji ke saath kinaare par aa rahi thee………panchhi apni din bhar ki udaan ke baad apne aashiyaano main laut rahe the……….aur bhanvare bhi phoolo se bichhad kar aur kal phir milne kaa vaadaa karke apne apne rahenaak main wapas jaa rahe the……….aur yudi …….oosko bhi to jaanaa thaa mahal wapas….lekin…..aaj oose wapas jaane kaa man nahi ho rahaa thaa …ye man bahelaanewaalaa samaa bhi ooske man ko ek ajab si becheni se bhar rahaa thaa oose……aswasth kar rahaa thaa………woh……khud samaj nahi paa rahaa thaa ki woh kaun si unkahi si uljan hain……jo oose uljaa rahi hain……."😕😕😕
with all passing days, his yarning to make rani part of his life getting stronger and stronger as he was not satisfied with this kind of short lived meeting. After all meeting, separation left him with dejection and his craving to talk with her and spend memorable time with her get uncontrollable.
"jaise shaant bah rahe nadi ke paani main kankar pad ne se paani tarnagit ho jaataa hain oosi prakaar ooske shaant se man ko har ek judaayi kaa pal tarangit kar detaa hain……….."
Rani went where RB was doing prayer and RB was about to finish her last round and looking very exhausted. Rani went near to Nikki and informed Nikki about her meeting with yudi and her admission in college and further she told Nikki that yudi would discuss more detail with Nikki regarding Nikki's help they might need in this matter.
Once RB finished her prayer, they left for the palace. Nikki and rani was happy that RB was ignorant about Yudi's presence their and did not get slightest hint that yura actually came there to meet.
After reaching palace rani went to kitchen to prepare BR's food and Nikki went to her room to take some rest and RB went to room to take nap, as she was very tired after long exhausting prayer.
The moment RB lay down on her bed she heard knock on the door, RB was very frustrated that in this palace no body let her rest peacefully and always look for the excuse to harass her. RB thought that some servant might have come to give something that was why she just ordered the person to come in.
But when RB saw CR on the door she straighten her self and stood up from the bed.
RB: chhoti maa aap? Hume bulaa liyaa hotaa hum aa jaate aap ne kyun taklif ki?
CR: koi baat nahi hume lagaa aap thak gayi hongi aur kaam humaaraa thaa to humne sochaa hum hi mil aate hain……….
RB took blessing from CR.
RB: ji kahiye hum kyaa kar sakte hain aap ke liye?
CR: kaisi rahi mandir ki mulaakat?
RB: ji????? Ji achhi rahi……..kyun
CR: kunvar se mulaakat huyi?
RB surprised: kunvarji se????????? woh…..waha kyun aayenge……..? humaaraa matlab hain…….woh bhi waha aane waale the ye hume to pataa hi nahi thaa……..
CR: to humne aapko waha kyun bhejaa thaa darshan karne ke liye?😲😲
RB: humari kuchh samaj main nahi aa rahaa hain chhoti maa aap kyaa kahenaa chaah rahi hain……kyunki kunvarji to waha par nahi the humari to mulaakat nahi huyi …kyunki hum to pujaa kar rahe the oos ped ki……aur humare to paanv dookh gaye pradakshinaa karte karte…….lekin kunvarji ko humne nahi dekhaa.
CR had smirk on her face: to….ees baar bhi nikki ne chaalaaki karke apne bhaiya ko bachaa liyaa aur aap bevkoofo ki taraahaa ped ki puja karke wapas aa gayi…….
RB was confused, dumbfounded and was trying to understand and suddenly: to eeskaa matalab ye huvaa ki kunvarji waha apne pyaar se milne aaye the???????????😲😲
CR: ji haa aur yahi to kaaran thaa ki humne aapko waha bhejaa thaa taki kunvar jo eetne dino se apne pyaar ko milne ke liye chhatpataa rahe hain………..aur hum ……oonki becheni ko badhaa rahe hain ……..onke liye viprit haalat pedaa karke……….woh ek baar phir se apne pyaar ko naa mil paaye…….lekin ……..nikki ne ees baar phir humari mahenat par paani pher diyaa……lekin hum ……baat ko eetni aasani se jaane nahi denge………………..😡😡
RB: oh humse bahut badi galati ho gayi …..waranaa hum aapki har chaal ko samaj kar ooska sahi eestmaal karte aa rahe hain……..lekin ees baar hum chuk gaye…….
CR: haa kal bhi jis tarah se aapne kunvar ke saamne rani kaa apmaan kiyaa aur RS ke saamne ek tamaasaa banaa diyaa…………aur aaj subha bhi pahele to hume bahut gussa aaya ki rani kaa nayaa dress dekh kar kyun aap kuchh bol nahi rahi hain…………
RB: haa lekin jab aapne baar baar rani ko humare paas bhejaa to hume lagaa ki aap jaroor kuchh ishaaraa kar rahi hain hume…….achhaa huva ki kal dukaan main jab kunvarji ne hume achanak upar jaane ko kahaa to hume lagaa ki jaroor koi baat hain eesi liye oopar jaake humne chupke se dekhaa ki woh ye dress kharid rahe the……..lekin nikki ne aakar saaraa khel subahaa bigaad diyaa……..warnaa kunvarji ki haalat to aisi ho rahi thee jaise ek taraf aag aur ek taraf khaayi…………jaaye to kahaa jaaye..
Both RB and CR started to laugh triumphantly as their plan was working according to their desire though there were some glitches but they were very sure that one day yudi had to act the way they wanted him to.
CR: koi baat nahi RB…..lekin ab hum bas ek aise mauke ki talaash main hain jo yudi ki jindagi ko narak kar degi………..aur hume lagtaa hain humari manzil ab door nahi……….aur hum bahut khush hain ki aap apnaa kirdaar bakhubi nibhaa rahi hain……….
RB: kyun naa nibhaaye …….ye sab hum apne pyaar ke liye to kar rahe hain…………😲
