My first FF: Ecstasy [Note on 19] - Page 8

Where are we going Jiji? Khusi looked around the place,

Khusi, it's time for us to get married. Payal told her, unwillingly.

Hun? But soon she was pushed towards the house.

They were made to sit on a old couch, the whole family had gathered there. Uncle, aunts, cousins, seems like they have invited the whole family of their's to this meeting.

Have some sweets, her 'future-mother-in-law' told her.

Toh, rishta pakka samjhe? The father told.

(trans: So it's final I guess?)

Wait! Is any body going to tell me what all is happening here. Khusi was feeling frustrated.

Garima cut her off, Khusi what is this? We are here to finalize your marriage .

'Mujhe yeh shaadi nahi karni.'

(Trans: I don't want to marry)

'Yeh tum kya bol rahi Khusi?

(Trans: What are you telling?)

Saari umar hamare paas hi raho gi kya.'

(Trans: Do you wish to stay with us for your entire life?)

'Ye aap kaise bol sakti hai!'

(Trans: How can you say this?)

Khusi ran out of the room and to the corner of a lonely street and started crying silently.

It was the farthest corner of the street, and she broke down. Didn't her feelings, emotions and her dreams matter?

I'll talk to you later.

He slowly made his way through the street. He had came with Anjali to the near by temple , but had to move from there because of the continues noise of the bells which was making his call difficult. Suddenly his caught something familiar. Khusi , dressed in a beautiful saree, looking lovely as ever, rushed to the corner. He followed her.

He turned her towards him. She was crying bitterly, and it ached it him the most.

Aap yahan kya kar raha hain?

(Trans: what are you doing here?)

Why are you crying?

Aaapse matlab.

(Trans: Why does it bother you?)

He looked at her intensely.

Why do they always want to impose on me what they like? This is my life, moreover I always let them do, but not this. I am not going to marry now.

He unknowingly wiped here tears. This was one thing he hated the most.

You don't you want to marry?

No, I don't want to marry him.

Him?

She looked up.

No. I mean I don't want to marry now.

Then don't.

It's not that easy. Not everybody leads a life like you, who can make decisions on their own. I am bound to.

She started weeping again. Please don't cry Khusi.

Stop ordering me here! This is not your office.

I am not ordering you, I am requesting you not to cry, I hate to see when you cry.

Her eyes widened. Did he just say that he hated when she cried. Wasn't he the reason she had cried during those days.

Why does it bother you at all?

Meanwhile,

Khusi , where are you? Payal was worried

Suddenly he bumped to a man.

Mujhe maaf kijiye ga, she said in a sweet tone.

(Trans: I am sorry)

Aakash stared at the beautiful lady in front of him. His mother had forced him to meet so many girls for his marriage, but she was exceptional. If it was in his hand, he would surely marry her right now.

Payal looked at the man. He was strikingly handsome. Meine bola, I am sorry.

Hun, no it's alright.

She stood there for a moment and went passed him.

On the other side,

I mean, I hate to see people being helpless and crying for small things.

Small things? What if your marriage is fixed without your knowledge? Will you take that seriously?

Stop joking! His anger fumed.

She lowered her gaze.

Khusi, Khusi why did you went away from there? Payal came from the behind. Meanwhile Arnav slipped through the corner.

Woh hum Jiji, and she turned around to find him, but he was gone.

At night, Gupta's,

Yeh kya Khusi, kya tumhe aapne Mata Pita ki koyi parwah nahi? Is tarah se sidhe mana kar dena tumhe sobha nahi deta!

(Trans: What is this Khusi? Don't you care about your parents, this way of directly saying no doesn't suit you)

Toh aapne yeh kyun kiya Amma ? Kya mere sapne mayeenein nahi rakhte?

(Trans: So why did you do this? Don't my dreams matter?)

No, she said in a firm tone.

This was least expected. She turned around, she was not going to cry, she was not going to run, after all, blood relations matter the most.

She walked to her room; she will wait for the night to fall.

Khusi, Amma ki baton ka bura mat manna, unka tumhare dil dukhane ka koyi iraada nahi tha. Payal tried to console her.

(Trans: Khusi , don't take her words seriously, she didn't mean to hurt you)

Nahi Jiji, humne bura nahi mana, bas sacchai thori karwi lagi, she gave a fake smile.

(Trans: I didn't mind, it's that, it is hard to accept the truth)

The night fell. Khusi slipped out of room. She turned around, bid her final goodbye to Payal, she has been the only reason for thinking over her decision twice.

Hume aapki yaad ayegi Jiji.

(Trans: I will miss you)

She left the house. She loved her sister, but she hadn't expected what her 'mother' said today.

She will come back one day, to prove her mother wrong that marriage isn't the ultimatum.

Where will she go?

She headed towards the station. She had taken the money which she had saved over these years. She didn't plan to spend these this way.

She wandered through the station. She saw Arnav standing and the other side of the platform'.

She looked at him. He came near her and spoke, have you lost all your senses? What made you think that running from your life will solve all your problems.

You have been following me, she said.

Stop questioning me back and give the answers to my questions , his temper was rising.

What else should have I done? She said helplessly.

Will you join my job? He said after hesitation.

What? No way''.stop thinking that I will accept this because I am helpless.

I am saying this as a helper, he added.

No!

Your wish, where will you go?

None of your business.

He stared at her.

Fine''..I don't know.

Typical Khusi Kumari Gupta'.you are a specimen.

Aap mere bare mein jante kitna hain?

(Trans: How much do you know about me?)

Jitna janta hoon, mere liye kaafi hain.

(Trans: What I know is enough for me)

You are a sample, I would rather say. Just because they are try to fix your marriage, you ran out of the house and planned to ran out of here, do you think twice before doing a job, what will happen when the money you have finishes and you have nothing to do?

She listened to him, looking deep into his dark brown eyes. They looked so different, caring and worried about her. How can he be the man who was the cause of all her worries during these 15 days'how?

Arnav felt himself uneasy. The girl in front of him always succeeds to bring out the soft side in him, which he masks away from the world. Why does he break his own rules, just for her'
