'Oh come on Ipshy di'Gauri di is getting married for the first time!!!'
'Kaya'u naughty girl'everyone gets married for the 1st time in life'unless u r a TV soap actress!'
There was a huge roar of laughter'suddenly'the door opened'Masima was standing there''U girls will u go to sleep right now''n Gauri beta,sleep or else u'll get dark circles round ur lovely eyes'..now that's something Prateek wont like, right!!!!'
"Right Masima!''. The door closes.
"Gauri, I still don't understand, what u liked in that Prateek 'that u decided not only to fall in love with him'but also marry him'.I mean he is a such a self obsessed guy, so selfish n yet u loved him'he's the total opposite of you!"
"Oh no Ipshy di please don't start all over again!"
"let it be Kaya, let her say whatever she wants'..today I won't feel bad for anything in the world'.I'm getting married'that too with baba consent'.Ipshy u don't know what it feels for a girl'.that the man she loves is gonna be her husband! U'll understand this only when u seriously fall in love'n in love nothing matters'other than the happiness of your partner'Prateek 'maybe self-centered or selfish'.but I luv him'n that's whats important for me'.i get happy when he's happy'I feel proud when he achieves what he gets'"
"Achieves??By cheating others'having selfish motives'"
"That's only in business'.n in today's business no policy is a fixed policy'"
"I just hope he doesn't mix business for ur happiness..."
"no Ipshy di'Prateek Bhaiya luves Gauri more than di'"
"baby'u r too small to understand d meaning of love!"
"then teach me na di'.." Joked Kaya.
"oh shut up n go to sleep!"
Ipshy was Gauri's childhood friend, she has stood by her in all her crisis n happiness'..she supported her for all her decision except Prateek!....but Gauri thought that was bound to happen among friends'insecurity when a man enters ur friends life!
Ipshy pretended to sleep'she just prayed to God, " I hate Prateek'..but God give my friend all d happiness n fulfill all her dreams n wishes'.she deserves the best'.I know that Prateek is not the best for her'but then he is her world'.I just want Gauri to be happy!"
Gauri badly wanted the night to end 'so that the new dawn sets her into that life she always desired'she always wanted to be Prateek's from the day she met him'.
As soon as she slept'she entered her dreamworld'she saw herself in Amritsar'she was entering the Golden Temple with someone'.she could not see his face'his voice was not familiar either'she offered her prayers along with that guy'.She touched his feet for his blessing ,he gently kissed her forehead'. Then they held each other's hand'.then'there was a mela going on somewhere near the temple'they went over there'.she pointed out towards a set of bangles to him'.he was putting the bangles one by one carefully and gently into her handles'.she fondly looked at him'when the last bangle was put on'.she mischeviously ran from there'."Gauri'Wait'"the guy was running after her'but she refused to listen'she ran across the lush green farms'.finally he got hold of her'he fondly hugged her'"I love you'" said the guy'"I love you too'." '.Gauri got up with a jerk'"What was that?? And who is he??? Why am I getting this dream time and time again?" thought Gauri'Well Gauri she has been getting this dream from her childhood' When she was small she couldn't figure out who the girl was'as she grew she realized it was her'but the guy has always been a mystery to her'she wondered'because the face was supposed to be Prateek's'as per logic'b'coz she considers him the love of her life'..however this dream contradicted to everything'.her mind and her heart refused to believe that the guy was Prateek'if he's not Prateek then who can he be'.wondered Gauri'Anyways she believed that tomorrow 'the big day' of her life would wipe out all her fears!!! So she went back to sleep again'.
Next day, Morning'..Everyone in house was busy in the marriage preparations'.Gauri's baba was busy instructing how he wants the decorations done'when suddenly ," Namaste Alok Sir!"
"Alok Sir!" this voice sounds very familiar, he turned back '.n had such a wide smile on his face'..
"Shiv! Beta Shiv'.I'm so glad that u've come to my daughter's wedding!"
"Sir, when have I ever refused ur order or request?"
Shiv Kapoor was Alok Singh's best student in school'a true all rounder'but very shy'perhaps not too vocal about his opinions'that's y people took advantage of his simplicity''.
"Alok baba'where do I keep these flowers?" inquired Ipshy.
"Ipshita beta, meet Shiv'"
"Achha toh u r Shiv, THE Shiv Kapoor!"
An Embarrassed Shiv smiled and said "Yes, have I done something wrong?"
"No, but baba, never ever gets tired of praising you'my God'v get jealous'b'coz he never praises us this much!"
Shiv smiled and looked down'.there was something in Shiv'.Ipshita thought'."God y didn't Gauri meet this guy!"
There was a lot of commotion in the house, well Shaadi ka ghar hai, aur kya umeed kar sakte hai!
Ipshy went upstairs'Gauri was getting dressed for her big day, she had designed her wedding dress herself'it looked so beautiful'her favourite colour red '
"Oh my God Gauri'..u look like a dream!"
"Ipshy di nazar mat lagao Gauri di ko!"
"Baby, apno ki nazar nahi dua lagti hai!"
"oh by the way'Gauri do u know whos come for ur wedding?"
"Who?"
"d great Shiv Kapoor!"
"What'wheres he'I've heard so much of him'finally I'll get to see him!"
They went towards the window'n Ipshy pointed at Shiv'.Gauri saw him'.Simplicity is what she saw in him'..his simple yet elegant kurta stood out among the rest of the guys who were wearing designer kurtas'.his smile'got a smile to Gauri's face'his innocent looks struck a chord with her'"Gosh!..whats d matter with me ?" she thought'.
"Meri pyaari behaniya banegi dulhaniya''.." sang someone
Gauri, Kaya n Ipshy turned behind'.
"Anupam dada'when did u come? I thought u wud never come"
"how dare he does'nt cum?" screamed Ipshy'.
"Ipshy babe ,Mandap bhi hai, Shaadi ka sama bhi hai'tu kahe toh hum bhi phere mare!"
"very funny Anupam!" poked Ipshy.
"I'm so happy for u ,Gauri'I just hope that gud sense prevails in ur friend'n she too agrees to marry me!"
"Shut up Anupam!"'she loved him too,but never let it show'.
Anupam left the room'n d girls were busy giggling'when suddenly there was remote silence downstairs'."what happened? Y has everything turned quite?"
"I'll just check n come. Kaya just brush up d make up for her!" said Ipshy and went downstairs.
"Gauriiiii"'Ipshy ran trying to catch hold of her breath'she was crying ,had anger on her face'"that ba***** has refused to marry u!"
"What? What d hell r u saying?"
Before she could say anything'.Anupam entered'he caught hold of Gauri'."listen to me carefully n calmly, Gauri'Prateek just called'he's at the airport'he's flying off to London in the next 15 minutes"
"London?"
"Ya, he's said that he's finally managed to get an appointment with Mr Brown for his KPNC Project, he can crack the deal if d meeting goes off well'."
"ya but what about Gauri?" Ipshy asked'.her worst nightmares had come true'.
"He said that marriage can wait n Gauri wud understand what this project meant for him."
Gauri'.was lost in her thoughts'KPNC project 'it was Prateeks dream project'he has foregone many occasions important for this project'but marriage??????
Suddenly Masima came up, she had a panicked look in her eyes'"baba has just had a mild attack but he's fine now !"
"what????"
All of them ran downstairs'.
In Baba's room'Shiv was pouring water into a glass when they entered the room'Shiv saw Gauri'the look of betrayal, dreams broken was so visible in her eyes'..there was something about her'
"Baba!"
"Gauri beta, yeh kya ho gaya hai'tumhari khusiyo ke saath Prateek aise kaise kar sakta hai?"
"Baba!"
"Gauri, I always wanted you to be happy that's y I agreed to get you married to him'but this'I cant take this'" he started crying'.
"Baba, please don't cry'I trust him'.he'll come back n get married to me!"
"marriage??? To that ungrateful man! Never'..i'll never get u married to him!"
"baba'."
"on your insistence I agreed to have u married to him'now u have to decide if u want to chose between ur father or him?"
"baba, please don't panic!"
"ur father or him???"
"baba, please don't do this I love both of u'"
"Alok babu, shaadi ka kya karna hai'baaratiyo ko waapas jaane ko kahe ki'.?" someone in the crowd came in and asked.
"Nahi'shaadi toh hogi aur isi mandap pe hogi!"
"Baba, what r u saying? U know that Prateeks not there'toh shaadi kaise hogi?" asked Anupam..
"the marriage will take place..today'n Gauri will have to marry or else she'll see my dead face!"
"baba'please calm down'.please try n understand 'who will she get married to?" Anupam asked.
" Shiv!"
All were shocked'.but dared to say a thing'Shiv did'nt know what to do'he was about to walk out of the room when Alok said, ' Shiv beta, I know I am not being fair to you..but I know that I can only rely on you at this moment'beta please'."
He folded his hands ,head bent down n tears flowing from his eyes'
Shiv 'was too sweet to hurt anyone or for that matter see anyone hurt or in pain'.
He held his Sir's hand and said, " Sir, I respect your feelings'but this is a question of not my life but the life of your daughter'"
To which Alok babu replies sternly, "She will do as I say now'I have entertained all her demands till date'if she refuses what I say'then she can leave my house for good n she no longer would be my daughter!"
Shiv: Sir it's a question of her life'.
Alok: Shiv I know what I'm doing'..
Masima: Dada'please don't take any decision in a haste
Alok: Vrinda, the only decision which I took hastily was agreeing Gauri to marry Prateek and see whats the result'
Vrinda: But dada'..
Gauri: Masima'please dont say anything'baba'I have always listened to what u have said'I'll get married to whoever u tell me to'but please don't stress yourself unnecessarily'
Kaya: But di..this ai'nt right.
Ipshy:Shut up Kaya! Don't interfere in this matter'
Kaya sulked. She gave a cold stare to Shiv'.Shiv'poor boy did'nt know how to react'.
Finally at the scheduled mahurat time'the wedding took place'while the phera's were on'Shiv promised to himself that he would give his wife all the happiness he could, he would take care of her in all the times ,that his sole responsibility now would only be her happiness'nothing else would matter to him now'.whereas Gauri'she had only one thought in her mind' "why did Prateek do this to me? Why?"
After the marriage rituals were over, Kaya went up to Shiv and blowed out her anger on him, "what on earth do you think of yourself? When u knew that my sis's happiness and life is only Prateek'y the hell did u say 'yes''who do u think u r? God? Well get one thing straight'my Di only loves Prateek'n she is only Prateek bhaiya'don't even think of being hers'she is only Prateeks'."
"Kaya!!!!" shouted Anupam," is this the way you speak to Shiv!"
"I Don't care'.may he rot in hell!"
Anupam was about to slap Kaya'when Shiv held Kaya'a hand'n Kaya walked off the place'.
"I apologise on behalf of Kaya, Shiv'Actually'"
"You don't have to be sorry Anupam, I understand that it's the luv for her sister that's speaking'I understand'"
"Shiv'Gauri is a very good girl'.we all know that she fell in love with the wrong person 'I never expected him to be such a'."
"Anupam'please be rest assured that your sister will never regret this decision in her life'I can't promise the stars for her'but I'll promise you that all her dreams and wishes would be fulfilled'I will try and give her all the happiness she deserves'.please trust me'"
Anupam didn't know what to say'but he felt the honesty and sincerity in each and every word that Shiv said'he was rest assured that his sis was in safe hands'.so he just smiled and hugged Shiv'.
During the bidaai, Alok babu gave his blessings to Shiv-Gauri'n as they were leaving he said to himself, 'I know whats right for you Gauri'.i hope u forgive me for what I have done'but this was for your good'I can't see ur life being ruined infront of me'.!"''..What was that Alok babu was trying to hide????
Cricket
