Next morning kesar woke early..he opened his eyes and felt heavenly.he looked at the broken bangles that had broken the shackles and walls between them uniting them forever...he smiled and then looked at his wife..she was lying in his shoulder and her arms were on his chest...she was looking graceful and beautiful...she was sleeping like an angel

Kesar looked at her and whispered in her ears "good morning princess...uthana nahi hai kya"

Gulaal was sleeping she carelesly replied "nahi"

Kesar smiled and said "koi baat nahi" and he wrapped his arms around her

Gulaal looked at him and said "time kya hua hai"

Kesar replied "sirf 8:30 hua hai"

Gulaal stood up in haste she started dressing herself properly and said "oh my god mujhe jana hoga..sab uth gaye honge sabne dekh liya to"

Kesar grabbed her hand and said "to kya hua u r my wife tumhe mere room mein hi hona chahiye"..he smiled

Gulaal was nervous

Kesar asked "kya baat hai"

Gulaal said "panba"

Kesar looked at her and said "kya tum kal raat k baat se guilty feel kar rahi ho"

Gulaal said "nahi kesar...meine kal pehle baar apne dil k suni...kal wo chaha jo mera dil chahta tha...par panba ko humare baare mein batana jarurui hai"

Kesar looked at her and said "mujhe par bharosa rakho...tayyar ho jao panba se mein baat karunga"

Panba and other family member were sitting in the living area today was rewa's wedding...everyone was in joyous mood

Kesar and gulaal came there hesitantly holding their hands

Gulaal looked at kesar and he looked at her and then came near to panba and sat infront of her on the floor...kesar took her hand on his

Panba looked at him and askes "kya bat hai kesar"

Panba said "dhokha diya hai tune mujhe gulaal...mere vishwaas ka yeh phal meila mujhe"

Gulaal hung her head she was in tears

Kesar looked at panba and said usne "kuch dhokha nahi diya panba...woo to mujhe chod kar jaa rahi thi...par meine hi use jaane nahi diya...mein kaise jaane deta use...meri zindagi hai woo"

Panba looked at him

Panba said "tujhe kuch nahi pata kesar"

He said "sab pata hai mujhe..panba agar aapko yeh vaada chahiye tha to mujhse kyu nahi liya...gulaal se shaadi meine ki thi...meine use is bandhan mein bandha tha"

"Panba agar aapne mujhse vaada liya hota aur mein nahi nibha pata to kya aap mujhse bhi itna hi naaraz hoti"

Panba said "tu bekaar mein is rishte mein khushiyaan dhundh raha hai...par yeh rishta ek mirage k tarah hai tu use dekh kar khush ho sakta hai par is rishte mein khushi nahi paa sakta...tere aur gulaal k umar mein tumhare soch mein bahoot antar hai...kab tak too apne se umar mein badi ladki ka haath tham kar chalega kab tak samaj k taane sahoge tum dunno"

"yanha tak k tumhara rishta bhi uljha hua hai...vassant k biwi thi gulaal..aaj nahi.. to kal yeh sab baatein tum dunno k rishte mein deewar aur tension create karegi.. ".

Kesar said "panba aapka kesar itna gira hua nahi ki use gulaal k age uski khoobsoorti maaayne rakhti hai..meine uske maan se uske vicharo se pyaar kiya hai...aur vasant bha humare beech k deewar nahi hai...humare rishte ka adhar hai woo...humare rishte ka hissa hai woo panba...woo to mere bhagwaan the,,agar gulaal usne pyaar karti hai uunhe nahi bhulti to mujhe kya problem hai mein chahta bhi nahi hun k woo unhe bhule aur samaj kya karta hai kya sochta hai mujhe usese koi lena dena nahi hai"

Panba replied "par kesar"

Diaba interrupted in between "bas panba bas...yeh dunnoek dusare se pyaar karte hai isme tujhe kya problem hai...arey yeh kaise shart hai k gulaal is ghar mein to rahe apni jimmedaari nibhaye par apne pati se pyaar naa kare..are tune aisa vaada kyu liya...koi kisi se pyaar na kare yeh uske bas mein kanha hota hai"

Panba said "diaba meine hamesha gulaal ko vasant k patni k roop mein dekha hai...mein kesar k panti k roop mein use kaise sweekar karu"

Diaba said "tu maan naa maan par yeh hakeeqat hai panba...gulaal kesar k patni hai... sachai se muh mudna bevkufi hai...aur phir kya galat hai k gulaal aur kesar apne is rishte ko sweekarte hain"

She continued "ek baar dekh apne in dunno bahcho ko kitna pyaar karte hai yeh dunno...gulaal kesar k liye hi sahi hai...aur agar phir bhi tujhe lagta hai yeh rishta galat hai to mein yeh deeyarvatoo tud dungi par tujhe kesar k liye gulaal se acha jeevansathi dudhna hoga"

She said "jeevan sathi woo nahi hota jo hamesha saath saath chale balki woo hota hai jo sahi raasta dikhaye

Panba was silent

Gulaal came near and said "panba meine aapse vada apne poore dil se diya tha...par meri aatma ne kesar ko pata nahi kab sweekar kar liya...I m sorry panba meine apki baat ka maan nahi rakhi saki"

Panba said "gulaal ek maa apne bache k liye woo ladki chahiti hai jo use behad pyaar kare jo use uski tarah pyaar de...gulaal tu kesar ko mujhse jyada chahiti hai...mere kesar ko mein tujhe deti hun gulaal.

Gulaal and kesar smiled and they hugged panba

Panba looked at them and said "mein galat thi...gulaal se jyada acha tujhe jeevansathi tujhe nahi mil sakta...mein bahoot khush hun tum dunno k liye"
