Part-1

Maa aap meri baat kyu nahi samajh rahe mai abhi nahi aa sakta, mujhe yaha job se leave nahi milegi aur leave ki yaha permanent leave ban jaati hai, mai nahi aa sakta maa…armaan said this with slight irritation as this's the umpteenth time he said these words repeatedly

Anu:Armaan dekh beta tune ghar mai sab functions, sab marriages miss ki hai, ab ye hamare khaandaan mai second last bte ki shaadi hai, uske baad seedha teri shaadi hogi..

A: (suddenly) Meri shaadi???? He said this with shock...

Anu: haan to??? Tu aise kyu bola??? Itna shocked kyu hai jaise pata na ho ki teri shaadi hogi??

A: maa shaadi???

Anu: haan beta shaadi… sabki hoti hai, waise hi teri bhi hogi..

A: maa you must be kidding na, shaadi aur mai.. no ways..

Anu: you must be joking my baby, shaadi aur tu…. Yes ways..

A: maaaa…

Anu: betaaa…

A: okk fine maa, par abhi 4-5 saal mujhse shaadi ki baat mat karna..

Anu: budhe hokar shaadi karni hai kya??? Bholu ki shaadi ke baad tera hi number hai..

A: maa don't say like this, abhi to mera carreer shuru hua hai, abhi mai kissi ki responsibility nahi le sakta, aapko pata hai na..

Anu: armaan agar mai tujhse 10 saal baad bhi teri shaadi ki baat karungi tu yahi kahega, aur shaadi responsibility jarur hoti hai par sweet responsibility, life partner aayegi to tujhe kuch jeena bhi aayega, saara din job se ghar, ghar se job, bore nahi ho jaata, koi dost nahi hai, koi enjoyment nahi hai,

wo bhi paraye desh mai, meri jaan sukh jaati hai teri chinta mai, atleast bahu aayegi to meri tension to khatam hogi na, akela to nahi rahega tu, tera dhyan to rakhega koi aur tujhe bhi jindagi jeeni aayegi… (armaan made several faces) pata ni kaisa ladka hai tu, kabhi mann ni karta iss monotonous life se break lene ka aur pyar aur jindagi ki asli khushiyan lene ka..

A: maa mera pyar aur jindagi sirf meri padhayi, job aur aap log ho..

Anu: (thinking a bit) acha armaan, ab bata kab aa raha hai india waapis, khabardaar jo bahana lagaya koi to, job chutt ti hai to chutt jaye, par tujhe india aana hi hoga shaadi par, waise bhi 2 saal ho gaye tujhe dekhe hue.. tere papa ne to teri tickets bhi book karwa di thi 2 months pehle hi, ab chup chap apni job par ya to leave lekar aa ya phir resignation dekar aaja, yaha papa ka itna bada business hai usse sambhal le…

A: (cutting her) bass maa itna dur jaane ki jarurat nahi hai, mai dekhta hun aur aane ka program batata hun…

Anu blessed him and cut the call, little lost in thoughts when billy malik came and asked her what happened???

Anu: iss baar mai arman ki shaadi karwa kar hi bhejungi billy..

Bi: par achanak???

Anu: apne bete ko dekha hai, shaadi ki baat sunte hi aise react karta hai jaise kissi ne 10000 watt ka bulb pakda diya ho..

Bi: 10000 W… aisa koi bulb hota hai???

Anu: haina, tumhara beta, jo sirf mujhe jhatke dene ke liye bana hai, saara din kaam, kaam kaam, bache iss umar mai mehbuba banate hai aur ek hamara beta hai jo kaam ko hi apni mehbuba samajhta hai..

Bi: to achi baat hai na, tumhe to khush hona chahiye ki wo aaj kal ke bacho ki tarah aawaragardi nahi karta, apna career bana raha hai..

Anu: mujhe uske career banane se dikkat nahi hai par dikkat hai uske obsession se, uska obsession uske liye aage jaakar problem ban jaayega..

Bi: tum bahut dur ka soch rahi ho anu, waqt aane par armaan sab cheezein samajhne lagega…

Anu: yahi to darr hai billy, jiss waqt armaan ko rishto ki value ko samajhna chahiye wo ussi waqt unse dur bhaag raha hai, usne apni life abhi se responsibilities se bhar li hai, pyar, masti, dosti ye sab uski life se dur hai, usse aaj apni life bahut achi lagti hai, par kal jab hum uski life mai nahi honge, anjali ki shaadi ho jayegi wo kiske sahare rahega, uss waqt usse support ki jarurat hogi, uska dil kissi se pyar, care ki umeed karega to kya ye cheezein uski job, uska kaam ya uska sapna dega usse???

Bi: ananya tum kyu itna dur ki soch rahi ho..

Anu: tum nahi samajhne ki koshish kar rahe billy, har kaam apne waqt par ho acha lagta hai…

Bi: par armaan khush hai apni life se..

Anu: jaanti hun, aur ye bhi jaanti hun ki 5-10 years baad wo bore ho jaayega apni jindagi se, mai uski maa hun billy, 9 mahine maine rakha hai usse apne andar, mujhse jayda usse koi nahi jaanta, abhi wo apne sapne ke liye jee raha hai, par jab uska sapna pura ho jaayega tab uske paas kya wajah hogi jeene ke liye???

Bi: mai samajhta hun, par anu itni jaldi shaadi ki kya jarurat hai…

Anu: jarurat hai, kyunki armaan iss baar aayega hi, par agli baar use pata hoga ki uski shaadi ki baat chal rahi hai to wo waapis kabhi nahi aayega aur dusri baat ye ki agar ab shaadi hogi to armaan dheere dheere apni jindagi jeena seekhega, usse pyar shabd ka ehsaas hoga,

usse apne sapne ke saath jeene ki ek nayi aur bahut pyari wajah milegi jo usse jindagi bhar iss jindagi ko jeene ke liye aakarshit karti rahegi, agar jayda late shaadi ki to unki shaadi mai koi excitement nahi reh jaayegi, matlab armaan khud to mature hai hi,

aur uppar se meri bahu bhi matured aa gayi to unke relation mai fun naam ka element miss ho jayega, bachpana jo ek rishte ko evergreen banakar rakhta hai wo bhi miss ho jayega, dono hi samajhdaari ki daldal mai phasse rahenge hamesha aur armaan already bahut samajhdaar, responsible hai, usse thoda careless ban ne ki jarurat hai ab, thoda immature ban ne ki jarurat hai…

Bi: tum duniya ki pehli aisi maa ho jisse apne bete ki samajhdaari se problem hai….

Anu: haan billy mujhe problem hai, mai chahti hun armaan iss life ko jiye, enjoy kare aur jaane ye life uske sapne se kahi jayda khubsurat hai, life baar baar nahi milti,apne aim ke liye focus hona galat nahi hai par uss aim ko paane ke liye har cheez ko bhul jaana galat hai,

true person to wahi hota haina jo har cheez ko balance karke challe, apni responsibilities, apne sapne, apni enjoyment, apne relations aur apne aap ko aur armaan ko bas apna kaam yaad hai aur kuch bhi nahi..Issliye mai chahti hun ki uski marriage ab ho jaaye, pata hai billy matured relations mai compromise jayda hota hai aur pyar kam…

Bi: to kya hamara relation compromise par chal raha hai???? (he looked her) humne bhi to late shaadi ki thi, don't we love each other???

Anu: (a bit startled) ye baat tum khud se hi pucho billy…

Bi: kya matlab??

Anu: (turned towards window and looked outside) shaadi ke baad tum koi aisa waqt batao jisme hum sirf ek dusre ke liye jiye ho, hum shaadi ke baad ek dusre ko samajh paate iss se pehle hi armaan ne mere andar janam le liya tha kyunki tumhari daadi apne pad pote ka muh dekhna chahti thi, aur tum unki icha ko taal nahi sake,

aur mai tumhari baat ko samajhkar apne sapno ke saath compromise karne ke liye taiyar ho gayi, sapne apne pati se dher saara pyar paane ke, mai uss pyar ka intejar hi karti reh gayi, uske baad mai armaan mai busy ho gai aur tum apne business mai, aur tumne compromise karna shuru kiya mera tumhe waqt na paane se,

par kabhi complaint nahi ki, hamari baat bacho se shuru hoti aur bacho par khatam, aaj tak humne compromise hi to kiya hai billly ek dusre ki needs se, wahi agar hum samajhdaar na hote, immature hote to hum ek dusre se jidd karte hak se, roothte manate, par karte to hamara relation aaj kuch aur hi hota, compromise na hota, pyar hota,

jayda samajhdaari aur jayda bachpana dono hi relation ko nuksaan pahunchate hai, billy kabhi tumne realize kiya hai ki hum bas hamare bacho ko lekar hi ek dusre par dependent hai aur mai nahi chahti ki armaan bhi hamari tarah independent rahe, atleast ek to ho uski life mai jiske uppar wo emotionally, physically, morally, mentally dependent ho,

agar ab uski shaadi ho jaaye to wo jeewan bhar sambhla rahega, kyunki iss age mai bache samajhdaari aur bachpane ke beech mai hote hai, samajhdaari unke relation ko kabhi dubne nahi degi aur bachpana unke relation ko evergreen banakar rakhega, unka relation bahut strong ban jaayega..

Bi: (balancing himself) par tum itna sure kaise ho ki jo ladki tum armaan ke liye dhundogi wo jaisa tum chahti ho waisi hi hogi??? Aajkal hum apne bacho ki guranttee nahi le sakte to tum to uss ladki ke liye itne bade bade sapne dekh rahi ho jisse tum 1 baar dekhkar armaan ke liye pasand karogi..

Anu: mai sure hun ki jis ladki ko maine armaan ke liye chunna hai wo mere sapno par meri expectation se kahi jayda khari uttregi..

Bi: tumne armaan ke liye ladki bhi pasand kar li??? (with shock)

Anu: haan, najar mai to hai ek aisi ladki jo hamare bete ko jeena sikha degi, samjhdaar bhi hai aur chulbuli bhi…

Bi: jab tumne faisla kar hi liya hai to mai kya bollu??

Anu: kyu armaan tumhara beta nahi hai???tumhare hamare compromise ke liye jayda dur jaane ki jarurat nahi hai, har roj hi har baat ko note karna compromise apne aap najar aa jaayega, humne kab apni khushi, apni chahat ek dusre ko batane ko koshish ki, bas jaisa jisne kaha wahi maan liya…(billy looked other side) bahut raat ho gayi hai, hume so jaana chahiye, mai kal padma se ghar jaakar riddhima ki baat karungi armaan ke liye..

Bi: (quiet surprised) riddhima, apni shanky ki beti??

Anu: hmm… tumne puchna jaruri nahi samjha issliye khud hi bata diya… (she left and billy looked in space, he's disturbed not with ananya but with the truth, truth is always bitter but at the end it's the truth, each and every word of ananya's very true, they simply made compromises from starting, he kept on thinking about it and slept on chair..)

Shashank's house…

Pa: riddhima tujhe pata hi hai ki aaj ananya kisliye aayi thi, mujhe iss rishte mai koi burayi najar nahi aayi, teri graduation bhi complete ho gayi hai..

R: par maa mai armaan ko jaanti tak nahi hun aur uppar se meri age abhi kam hai..

Pa: beta jab milegi tab hi to jaan payegi na armaan ko, armaan bahut samajhdaar hai aur waise bhi aaj nahi to kal tune shaadi karni hi hai, itne ache rishte baar baar to aate nahi hai

R: par maine abhi sirf graduation hi ki hai…

Pa: agar tu panda chahti hai to shaadi ke baad bhi pad sakti hai kissne roka hai??

R: aap kya chahti ho maa??

Pa: teri khushi bas…

R: maa dekho aap ye jaanti hi hai ki meri life mai aap logo ke alava aur koi nahi hai, I mean boy friend etc etc…maine shaadi sirf aap logo ki marji se karni hai, jo aap log mere liye pasand karoge mujhe pata hi hai ki wo acha hi hoga, mere paas agar iss rishte ke liye haan karne ka koi reason nahi hai to naa karne ka bhi koi reason nahi hai, aap log jaisa karna chahe kar sakte hai, aap khush ho to mai to khush rahungi hi….(padma hugged her daughter and kissed her on forehead and left…)

Riddhima looked herself in mirror and blushed slightly thinking about his future partner, padma called ananya to tell their decision, ananya felt blessed and asked for riddhima's kundali as she wanted to do these things before armaan's arrival, so they can do "jhat mangni phat byaah", billy too seemed to be very happy as shanshank's billy best friend and billy liked riddhima very much as his daughter though he met riddhima very few times yet there's a kind of daughter's love in his heart for riddhima…

Kundalis matched and on this moment ananya's very happy, she hugged billy tightly..

Anu: bas ab mujhe intejaar hai armaan ke aane ka aur uske sir par sehra saje dekhne ka..

Bi: aur mujhe intejar hai armaan ka reaction dekhne ka, jab usspar uski shaadi ka bomb girega…. (anu giggled and slightly smacked billy..)

Finally after a week armaan arrived, everyone's very happy, ananya kept on hugging him again and again out of happiness..

A: (finally) mom ye aap baar baar meri najar kyu uttar rahi hai??

Anu: darr lag raha hai kahi mere bache ko meri najar na lag jaaye..

A: itni khushi ho rahi hai aapko mere aane ki??

Anu: tere aane ki nahi, teri shaadi ki…

A: (with shock) kya??? (billy elbowed anu)

Anu: kuch nahi,chal jaldi se fresh ho ja, sab tera man pasand khaana banaya hai…

A: pehle batao meri anjie kaha hai, meri little princess..

Anu: wo taaya ji ke ghar gayi hai, aaj bhollu ki haldi hai, tub hi jaldi taiyar ho ja..

A: what??? Usse pata nahi tha ki aj mai aa raha hun.. (he pouted)

Anu: chal ab waha jaakar hi mil liyo…

A: par mujhe usse gifts dene the..

Anu: armaan kyu bacho jaisa behave kar raha hai, anjie ghar aayegi tab de diyo… (armaan pouted again and finally after freshing up and taking meals they goes to their taaya ji's house, armaan congratulated his cousin and seeing him anjali who's applying haldi on his cousin, quickly got up, and screamed.)

An: bhaiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii……… (she out of excitement rushed to him and hugged him tightly, armaan caressed her hair, anjie's eyes got filled) I missed you bhai..

A: oeee paglu… (he cleared her tears) ab kyu ro rahi hai, tera bhai to tere saamne khada hai huhh…. (he again hugged her and kissed her on head)

An: itne time baad milega bhai to kissi bhi bahen ka rona aa jaayega, pure 2 saal baad dekh rahi hun aapko, pata bhi hai mai kitna miss karti hun aapko, mujhe koi laad(pamper) karne waala nahi hota ab, koi mum ki daant se bachane waala nahi hota, koi mera mood off hone par comedy circus ka contestant bankar archana puran singh ki tarah hassne par majboor nahi karta, bahut miss karti thi bhai aapko…. (armaan too get emotional and reminded those days)

A: chal ab mai aa gaya hu na, 1 hafte mai teri saari complaints dur kar dunga..

An: 1 hafta nahi 1 mahina kaho….

A: 1 hafta, bas itni hi leave mili hai..

An: bhai aapko pata nahi hai ki aapki leave extend… (she looked at her mom who's clearing her tears seeing bahen bhai union, she shaked her head quickly)

A: kya hua??? Tu kuch bol rahi thi..

An: kuch nahi bhai..

A: kamala hai, abhi to kuch bol rahi thi aur ab ek dum se chup ho gayi, jab se aaya hun tab se sab badla badla lag raha hai, aisa lag raha hai ki kuch khichdi pak rahi hai…

An: to aap kyu fikar kar rahe ho, pakne do khichdi, aap paki pakayi khayega.. acha batao aap mera wo digital camera laaye???(but before he could answer her, his taayiji called him, armaan hugged his taayiji nad touched her feet, she smiled)

Taayiji: jeeta reh, ab bata tu kab shaadi karwa raha hai??

A: not again taayiji, abhi mai india aaya nahi aur phir se shaadi ki baatein, mujhe abhi koi shaadi waadi nahi karni…

Ta: to kab karni hai???

A: abhi 10-12 saal bilkul mere paas time nahi hai iss baare mai sochne ka…

Ta: haen??????? (she looked at ananya, who passed smile and thought "10-12 saal nahi, 10-12 din keh beta..)

Anu: bhabhiji mujhe to lagta hai aaj hi iski shaadi hai, dekhiye na shagun ki haldi iske muh par lagi hai…

Ta: (looking him) are haan, ye to shaagun ho gaya, par iske muh par haldi aayi kaise??

Anu: iski bahen se anjaane mai lag gayi…(she winked)

Ta: (caressing armaan's cheeks) dekhiyo tera number bhi jaldi hi aayega, bahut acha shagun ho gaya ye to, bahen ke haatho se shagun ki haldi lag gayi tujhe…. Jeeta reh.. (she again took blessings of him, armaan made face)

A: dekha, mai tabhi aisi jagah aana nahi chahta, kyunki pata hota hai sabko bas ek hi cheez najar aati hai, shaadi, basss…. (he cleared his haldi and goes)

All were getting ready as today's bhollu's wedding, armaan's looking handsome in black sherwaani, anjali introduced atul to armaan in bonquet hall as her friend but armaan didn't notice the blush in anjie's eyes as he's really far away from these kind of things and expressions, he goes towards other pandaal for taking his drink when unknowingly clashed into someone as he's thinking about his job that time and missed to see that someone's coming from front….

A: ohh I'm so sorry…. (armaan when saw one girl on ground realized his mistake, her face's down, she's looking at her feet as it got twisted a bit)

Girl: aapko dekhkar nahi chalna aata….

A: I's thinking something, forgot to notice you… I'm so sorry miss… (he extended his hand for help)

Girl: mujhe strangers se help lena pasand nahi hai…

Riddhimaaaaa………… (girl turned on hearing her name and quickly got up with her back towards armaan, then rushed to her friend, armaan vave her strange look from back and left with his drink)

All the rituals took place, armaan's standing with one of his cousin and was talking about his company…

Cousin: konsi company mai job kar raha hai???

A: glaxo…

Cousin: waoooo, it's the 3^rd largest company in London, isn't it???

A: (smiled) yess and I'm trying for C.Tzzzz.. hopefully sab theek rahe..

Co: agar waha tu select ho gaya to tera future bilkul set ho jayega, koi tension hi nahi rahegi…. (armaan smiled hearing this, C.Tzzzz's one of the leading co. in world, everyone knows about it, and only brilliants gets job there and armaan's very positive about getting job there as his knowledge's incomparable, he's very brilliant… armaan thought "agar mujhe waha job mil gayi to mai apne sapne ke aur bahut kareeb pahunch jaunga…", he came in present when..)

Glaxo, ye konsi company hai??? Bada hi ajeeb sa naam hai, relaxo ki tarah koi cchappal jooto ki company hai kya…. (girl laughed loudly and all of a sudden armaan's temperature raised, armaan looked towards girl, but her back's facing her…)

Other girl: riddhima tujhe glaxo company nahi pata???

R: nahiii….

At: are London ki 3^rd largest company hai, software company…

R: who cares??? Software ki ho ya joote chappal ki, mujhe kya??? Maine achaar thodi na daalna hai..

At: kisi ke saamne aisa mat boliyo, sab hassenge tujhpar, aajkal software world mai yahi companies to lead kar rahi hai…

R: atul, to mai kya karu??? Aur tu to aise keh raha hai jaise yaha har ek ko pata hai iss company ke baare mai, mujhe india ki co. ki knowledge nahi hai aur tu London ki baat kar raha hai…

At: rahul kya sochkar apni bahen ko software field mai daala tha, koi keh sakta hai isse dekh kar ki ye bsc-it ki student hai, isse kuch bhi nahi pata apni field ke baare mai…..

R: (made a face) shut up atul, padhayi complete ho gayi hai ab, kyu phir se unn kitaabo ki yaad karwa raha hai…

At: acha tujhe pata hai anjie ke bhai ne C.Tzzzz mai apply kiya hai…

R: konsi City mai???? (armaan from back was like "kaisi ajeeb si ladki hai…" )

At: city mai nahi, C.Tzzzz mai, world ki leading software company hai..

R: atu tujhe aaj ye kya hua hai??? Kaisi bakwas si baatein kar raha hai, mujhe delhi mai hi nahi pata ki konsi leading software company hai world bahut dur ki baat hai..

Ra: riddhima issliye hi kehta hun ki newspaper padha karo…

R: aur mai bhi kehti hun ki mere paas inn faaltu baato ke liye time nahi hai, kya hai rahul, yaha meri shaadi ki baat chal rahi hai aur tum mujhse aisi utt patang baate kar rahe ho, mujhe kya lena ki kon kiss company mai apply kar raha hai ya konsi company lead kar rahi hai…

Armaan made a weird face from back "kitni ajeeb ladki hai, pata nahi kiss insaan ka luck itna kamjor hai jo iss jaisi ladki se shaadi karega, aajkal bacha bacha jaanta hai inn companies ke baare mai aur isse ye joote chappal ki company lagti hai, jarur bahut poor rahi hogi studies mai, jo log saara din idhar udhar awaaragardi karte hai unka hi aisa haal hota hai, I feel for that guy, aur graduation ke baad hi shaadi, jarur kissi gaon mai rehti hogi, harkattein bhi to anpad jaise kar rahi hai, kya hoga uss ladke ka, kya baatein kiya karega iss se?? I'm sure isse kuch nahi pata hoga…

Riddhima kept on making fun about companies, suddenly atul's gaze fell on armaan and he called loudly..

At: are armaan… tum waha kyu khade ho, yaha par aa jao… (riddhima turned with excitement when heard armaan's name, while armaan's coming forward towards their group, when only I feet distance remained between them, riddhima took a turn and her hair that're very long and it's opened touched armaan's face, armaan closed his eyes for a second and now riddhima's facing him)

For a minute armaan kept on looking at her, if he would have known about feelings, attraction and how to describe a girl in one word, he would have concluded riddhima as an angel, only magical wand and wings were missing, she's looking adorable in white lehnga, with white maangteeka, long earrings, and bangles in one hand, her eyes were looking like they're full of life,

her lips were like rose petals which bloomed a while ago, she' s simply looking amazing, riddhima moved back a little when realized their closeness, her cheeks started getting red realizing he's armaan, his tough and muscular body was clearing visible from his sherwani, his deep blue eyes, riddhima's lost in them for a minute, she's attracted towards him in first sight only…

Armaan came in present when riddhima took a step back, armaan looked at riddhima with slight hatred, riddhima who's slightly giving blushing smile felt weird and turned when heard anjali's call..

An: riddhima…

R: (with a sweet smile) hiiiii anju…. (she hugged her) bahut pyari lag rahi hai iss lehnge mai… haina atul???? (she looked at atul teasingly, anjali showed her eyes)

An: acha tu bhai se mili??? Tere piche hi khade hai…

R: kaha???

An: are tere piche hi to hai armaan bhai…

R: (with surprise) armaan tere bhaiya hai??? Par ye to ananya aunty ke bete… (she thought armaan's not that armaan who's choosed by her parents, she felt a bit sad)

An: haan to, ananya malik meri mom hai… (riddhima's surprised again, coz anjali's her friend,she met her through atul, she'd heard a lot of praise of armaan from anjali, now she's happy from inside thinking armaan'll be his partner, waoooo….)

R: okkk…

An: ohh ohh someone's blushing.. (anjali teased riddhima to which she showed her eyes and ran from there, anjali goes to armaan) so???

A: so what???

An: kaisi lagi??? (rolling her eyes)

A: taayaji ne arrangement karwaya hai shaadi ka, to achi hi hogi…

An: (hitting her head) ohh ho bhai mai shaadi ka nahi, riddhima ka puch rahi thi, kaisi lagi riddhima..

A: (his anger again raised) nalaiyak and fukri, dur hi rehna uss ladki se, mai nahi chahta ki tumpar uska effect pade… (anjali's shocked)
