SS - Tere Khusboo Mein Base Khat- EPILOGUE Pg 13

HELLO SHELLO..... Okay...so the title of my post intrigued you ..now the matter of my post shall hopefully not confuse...you....here goes....

When they cut the whole Sunil-Madhavi divorce track so abruptly, I was one the many viewers who was extremely disappointed, while a part of me understood that this track may not be taken very well by 'youth' another part of me thought how condescending to think that youngsters would not appreciate a track about parents and their tribulations'.because after all isn't it about second chances, finding love yet again in that very place that has given you most comfort'.

So here I am with my own version of love revived between kutkut and rasmalai'' I have used the Ghazal TERE KHUSBOO MEIN BASE KHAT as a backdrop to the story'the ghazal also moves the story forward' hence not a typical narrative. For those uninitiated'the song is from the movie Arth and sung by Jagjit Singh and written by Rajindranath Rehbaar. If you have music in your heart, the song is guaranteed to move you'. This SS shall not have more than 4 parts.

PART I: Pg 1

PART II: Pg 3

PART III: Pg 6

PART IVA: Pg 8

Last Part: Pg 10

Epilogue: Pg 13

PART I

Tere khushboo mei basey khat mai jalata kaise

Pyar mei dubey hue khat mei jalata kaise

Tere haathon ke likhe khat mai jalata kaise

Madhavi and Khusboo were returning back home from yet another mundane kitty party. Seated in the back seat of the car, while Khusboo was rattling off tit bits of gossip she had heard from other ladies 'Madhavi could hear her yet was listening to her lost thoughts'kitty parties and Khusboo incessant chatter were filling up her life.. but yet she was suffocating..feeling cold and empty within...she wanted to reach out for something..what!?! she couldn't tell.

Suddenly the car came to a halt. They had reached. Dharam announced.. "Madam ghar aagaye"..Khusboo muttering her usual thank gods and what nots'Madhavi could only think of Sunil's 'pinchara ghar' comment, and wondered'does he feel caged too?? Tears glistened and she wondered what was wrong with her, since when does she care what he feels, it is not like he cares for her'anymore at least. She heard Dharam's voice behind her.. "Madam, Saab yeh file gaadi mein bhool gaye the"..She takes the black file from him, nods. While she adjusts the large file along with the hand purse in her hand, a bunch of envelopes fall on the floor.

She bends to pick them up and even before her hand reaches them, she knows what they are..they smell like the aftershave Sunil uses'the Old Spice Musk aftershave she buys for him every year as an anniversary gift since they were married. She recollects suddenly the morning of their anniversary the year his business gained its first major profit. As a double celebration she had bought him an imported after shave and left it in the bathroom'

Flashback

Sunil: Madhavi yeh kya hai'

Mad: Come on Sunil, ab tumhara high society mein uthna baithna hoga..you cannot use that OLD SPICE anymore'

Sunil: Please yaar, mujhe wohi chahiye'

Mad: Meri baat suniye'

Sunil: Tum samajhti kyun nahin ho'uskee khusboo mein tum basi ho..

Mad: Pagal tho nahi hogaye ho..main kya musky smell karti hoon

Sunil: Nahin'lekin pata nahin'aisa lagta hai ke tum mujhe choo rahi ho'

Mad: What rubbish

Sunil (circling his hands around her shoulder): I am not joking!!

Mad: Sunil, jokes apart'yeh sab important hai'trust me'

Sunil: Come on'Madhavi'..Arrey puri duniya ko soongne do mera after shave'koyi parwa nahi'lekin tum mere pass raho' mera iman, shaan aur jaan tum ho'my secret to success

Mad: Aur aap ek number ke dramebaaz ho''''''..

Sunil was late for his meeting that morning'.Madhavi comes out of her thoughts, grabs the fallen letters and puts them in her purse and leaves the file on the coffe table in the drawing room. She rushes upstairs wanting to read the letters, as she takes the flight of stairs...a sudden feeling of warmth enters her body'she passes by the study...peeps in to see Sunil with his laptop and ear phones, wearing a horrible color T-shirt with its collar jutted out'she is tempted to go and fold it down'her feet automatically moving into the room'when she sees Khanak come and sit next to Sunil '.

Majorly speechless (read: spellbound!!!)......and getting me to do that.......the greatest compliment in itself!!!!

Saaz darling....I log in and this is the first thing I see....aww...you were not the only one who felt that Sunil Madzs divorce track was not given a proper treatment...it really had such great potential...but alas....
