Part 8
Sid: Aur kitna time lagne wala hai .......
Driver: Aur 3 ghante lagenge
Sid: Paani hai kya?
Driver: Nahi saab ek kaam karta hoon koi hotel mile toh waha pe ruk kar le leta hoon .................
They continue driving towards their destination. Sid looks out of the window to see the passing scenery. '10 years ago I left this place. It has been a long journey since then.' and his thoughts again start drifting into the past.
Shilpa: unhe kehne ya bata ne ki koi zaroorat nahi ............
Sid: Par woh tumhari behen hai............. Kya tum nahi chahati ki woh tumhari shaadi pe aye
Shilpa: Chahati thi ....... infact abhi bhi chahati hoon ki di aye ........ lekin shayaad woh mere saath koi rista nahi rakana chahati..........nahi toh saab saach jaane ke baad ek baar bhi nahi poocha mujhe................. Poora ek saal intezar kiya unka aane ka.......... Socha ki woh ayegi aur mujhe gale lagayegi ..............poori zindagi tarasi hoon unke pyaar ke liye ...............lekin Unhe toh sirf ek armaan chahiye apni zindagi mein...............aur waise bhi aye toh bhi unke saath armaan bhi hoga ...........mein nahi chahati ki woh aye ............jis aadmi ne............jaane do ............ chodo
Sid could understand how miserable Shilpa felt. He had told armaan about Shilpa being Riddhima's sister and requested him to break the news to her. Yet nor armaan nor Riddhima ever contacted Shilpa. First he used to think that she must have not accepted the fact and used to get upset. But later he kind of made peace thinking that it is for the best. Riddhima would never be able to come to terms with her guilt of what she did to her sister. Shilpa indeed at one point loved armaan. Yet he always contemplated whether did armaan really tell Riddhima the truth cause he knew that armaan was not one of those people who would come clean with facts. Like Riddhima had mentioned to him 'armaan kabhi kuch nahi batata'. He had bounced this thought with Shilpa and today again to convince her he brought this possibility up.
Shilpa: Agar armaan ne nahi bataya hai toh bhi ab kuch farak nahi padta............. woh chaha kahi mar gayi ........... aur waise bhi mein nahi chahati ki unhe guilty feel ho ya phir ............taras kha kar mujhe milne aye ........ ya phir sirf ek formality ke liye............ jaane do na Sid ..........Shilpa was now visibly irritated.
But Sid was not going to let this go by easily as he always wanted that Riddhima be there for the rituals when Shilpa gets married. Afterall some family member needs to be there to perform the same.
Sid: Par phir bhi Shilpa koi ghar ka hona chahiye na koi bada jo ye sab kar sake
Shilpa absolutely irrated with the Sid's reasoning 'Kyu tum nahi ho ............ ya phir tum bhi ab apna nahi mante ya phir kabhi mana hi nahi'
Sid: Shut up Shilpa ........... meine kab kaha ki tum apni nahi ho........... agar Riddhima tumhari behen bhi nahi hoti toh bhi hamara rishta kabhi nahi badalta...............Theek hai toh phir kanya dan ki rasam mom dad ko karne ke liye kehte hai ..............Happy .......
Shilpa: Nahi ............
Sid surprised at her answer 'Tumhare dimaag mein koi aur hai ya phir ye vidhi nahi karvani'
Shilpa: Haan .........karni toh hai par actually mein chahati thi ki tum mera kanya dan karo ...........Agar Riddhimadi aur tum saath hote toh tum dono karte na .............. aur jaise tumne kaha Riddhimadi ke hone na hone se hamare riste mein farak nahi padega ..........toh phir .............
Sid was moved by Shilpa's gesture He quickly wrapped her up in his arms to give a warm hug.
Sid thinking woh ek din tha aur aaj ................
The driver halted the car near a dabha.
Driver: Sir aap ko kuch aur chahiye
Sid: Nahi ..............
Driver: Aap ki permission ho toh kya mein fat se ek chai pee loon kya
Sid: Haan haan bilkul ...........thinking for a sec .........actually chalo mein bhi ek chai pi leta hoon .............bahoot saal ho gaye aise chai peye ........aur phir thoda stretch bhi karloonga ............ baaite baaite tange akad gayi hai .........
