FF: Dil Kya Kare! Scene 30a&b Pg 61 - Page 29

awsome written dear 😊

Scene 25:

Shiv was pacing in his room worried. His thoughts were on the conversation that Hansa and Anandi were having. What could they be talking about? He knew that Anandi could get rude when she is angry.

Would she disrespect his mother out of anger?

As soon as that thought occurred he immediately brushed it aside.

'No , Anandi could never do that. No matter how angry she gets, she will always keep her temperament in front of elders' He reasoned to himself.

He then went to the balcony and looked up wanting to catch a glance of Anandi. There was silence emitting from her room.

'Did they finished talking?' He asked himself

They must have. Or else he would be able to hear some sounds as the balcony door was open.

He started stretching his neck further as if expecting his neck to extend automatically and gaze into Anandi's room. The very next moment there was a knock at his door.

He ran towards it and opened it. There was Hansa standing in front of him. Shiv started reading his mothers face, trying to figure out the conversation she had with Anandi.

'Andhar aa jaun?' she asked smiling

Shiv continued to stand there, staring at his mother.

Hansa shook her head and went past him.

She then reached the sofa in his room and sat down, waiting for Shiv to come out of what ever trance he was in.

'Jithni dair thum lagaogay, uthni hi dair lagegi baat jannay main' She said smirking

Shiv shook his head, waking up from the aparant trance and sprinted towards his mother and sat on the floor besides her. He placed his hands on her knees and looked up at her .

Hansa put his hands on Shiv's hair and started to slowly caress it.

'Anandi sey baat ho gayi hai' She said

'Mom Voh , zyada naraaz tho nahi hai na' asked Shiv with worry

Hansa shook her head

'Nahi'

'Shiv, '

beta, I am sorry' she said getting teary

'Kya hua mom' asked shiv shocked

'I am sorry beta, ki maine thumhay galat samjha' She said tearfully

Shiv looked at his mom confused

'Main thumsey naraz thi na.. apnay betay sey naraz''

'Sorry' she sniffed

Shiv shared a special bond with his mother. Rarely there was a necessity where his mother would have to explain to him how she felt. The moment she apologized he understood why.

He also understood how hard it must have been for her. Not wanting his mother to go through the details of her emotional turmoil he slowly took her hands and kissed it.

Hansa looked at him and smiled. She knew that her son understands her.

'Anandi mujhe bohot pasand hai' She said touching his cheek.

'Thumnay sahih faisla liya hai. Main Kal hi uski Dadisa sey baat karungi;

Shiv looked at his mother with tears in his eyes.

They shared a moment of silence and then Shiv rested his head on his mother's lap.

It was 8:00 AM, the next morning.

Naina and Shamita were throwing glacing at the stairs every other minute. Anandi had not come downstairs. She was usually the first to join them.

Hansa was busy preparing the breakfast.

'Tayiji, main jaker Anandi ko le ker aaun' asked Naina

Hansa turned around

'Nahi. Voh kudh hi aa jayegi.' She said shortly

'bhabi, main jaun' said Shamita restlessly

'Naina, shamita , thum dono abh bas karo. Voh kudh hi aa jayegi. Kal kithna kuch ho gaya. Thoda samay tho do usey sambhalnay ke liye' Explained Hansa..

Just then shiv entered the kitchen hurriedly

'Mom, Anandi ji aa gayin?' he asked while his eyes were searching the kitchen as if expecting Anandi to jump from behind the refrigerator and surprise him.

'Shiv, thum jao. voh aa jayegi' said Hansa pushing shiv out of the kitchen

'Leking mo'' said Shiv

'GO' said Hansa interrupting him

A few minutes later:

'Aaj sabh bohot dair sey breakfast table per aa hain' said Hansa in a sarcastic tone

Ishika, Ikshu who were sitting besides each other and munching on their respective toasts started smirking. The fact was that everyone had come earlier than usual. They were all anxious about yesterday's drama that had unfolded in their house.

'Acha tho suno sabh' said Hansa in a commanding tone

'koi bhi, kisi tarah ka tamasha nahi karega' She said looking pointedly at Ikshu and Rithul

'Abh maine kya kiya'' started Rithul

'Shhh' Silenced Hansa

'Anandi pehlay sey hi bohot pareshan hain aur main nahi chahthi ki usey koi bhi uncomfortable feel karaye.' Said Hansa sternly.

Ishika looked at the stairs

'Mom main jaker leker aahti hun Anandi ji ko' Said Ishika seriously

'nahi! Baiti raho jahan baiti ho' commanded Hansa

'Mom kisi na kisi ko tho jana hi hai na. Abh pura din tho voh us kamre main nahi reh sakthi' argued Ishika

'Please , Main unko mana ker le aaungi' she said with surety

Hansa looked at Ishika and then gave her an approving nod.

Ishika dusted her hands off the toast scrumbs and left towards Anandi's room

Rithul who was looking at Ishika

'mana legi?' he asked doubtfully

Naina shrugged and placed another toast on his plate

'bhai manna padega Shiv Sahab. Kya scene tha kal ka' he started with a smirk

Shiv looked at his brother angrily

'are baba, ankhain kiyun dikha rahe ho thum.

Vaise ikshu , honestly yaar, ithna dum na meray paas bhi nahi tha jab maine Naina ko' started Rithul

'OUCH' he exclaimed

Naina had just poked him with her elbow and indicated towards Shamita and Neel who were both laughing at Rithul's antics.

'yaar marthi kiyun ho. Sach tho hai. Vaise naina maine socha ki thum vahid ladki ho jisko itna gussa atha hai. Yaar ye Anandi nay tho thumhay 5 kadam peechay chod diya' he said laughing

' Anandi ko ithni jaldi gussa nahi atha' blurted out shiv

everyone started looking at him and then a second later bursted out laughing.

'MOM inko samjhayiye na! voh uper hi hain. Sun lengi' Complained Shiv to his mother

'alay alay' kya hua melay shiv betay ko.' said Rithul in a teasing manner

'Abay abhi tho mama ka pallu chodh' he continued

'Wakay main bhade bhaiyyah main tho dangh pad gaya tha. Kithnay shareef bana firthay thay. Abh pata chala ki jetsar ki reghisthan wali mitti main kya kya gul khila rahe thay' Said Ikshu

'OYE!' Thundered shiv

Hasit, shiv's father was reading a news paper but he too gave a slight cough at Ikshu's remark

Everyone looked towards him and found him missing behind the morning paper.

Hansa main nikaltha hun phir' Said Hasit

'Neel apna khayal rakho aur jaker kamre main lait jao. Aaj nurse aaker thumhara bandage change ker degi' Said Hasit

'ji bhaiyyah' Neel then excused himself and let to his room.

'Waise shamita agar kuch baat banay tho mujhe bata dena' Whispered Neel to shamita

Shamita gave a slight cough and looked at Hansa and noticed she was also stifling a smile.

'Anandi ji perfect hai Chotay bhaiiyah ke liye' added Ikshu

'perfect tho hai, lekin bechara shiv, pata nahi iska kya haal honay wala hai' said Rithul

'Kya matlab' asked ikshu

'Shiv tho jet speed per jaa raha hai. Yahan tak kal sabh kay saamnay apnay pyar kya izaar bhi ker gaya ..aur wahan Anandi'' Rithul started Laughing thinking about what he was going to say next

'A'aAnandi.. tho abhi tak 'collector sahab per aatki hui hai' burst out Rithul laughing and giving a hi-fi to Naina who was sitting besides him, laughing.

Hearing this Ikshu joined as well.

Shiv looked at them hurt and then retorted back

'Nahi, kal unhonay mujhe Shiv bulaya tha' he said making a puppy face

Rithul and Ikshu laughed Louder and rithul started banging the table with his palm while laughing.

'wo..woow. Shiv' laughed Rithul

'ma.mmaa jaker Laddu leker aao. sabka muh meeta kerthay hain. Kithni kushi ki baat hai ye' laughed Rithul

Shamita and Hansa were having hard time controlling their laugh.

'Abh bas Rithul. thum tho peechay hi padh gaye ho uskay' said Shamita in a mock anger tone.

Upstairs Ishika had knocked on Anandi's door

Anandi opened the door and silently moved back.

Ishika noticed that Anandi had already changed and was ready to leave for her meeting.

'Anandi ji aap neechay kiyun nahi ayi. Sabh aapka intezaar ker rahe hain. Breakfast nahi kerna? asked Ishika

Anandi looked at her and did not say anything

'Acha aap chaliye' Said ishika grabbing Anandi's hand

Anandi slowly removed Ishika's hand and remained silent

Ishika looked at Anandi and then made her sit on the bed. She then sat besides her.

'Anandi ji. Aap kiyun ithna embarrassed feel ker rahi hain. neechay aayiye. ' she said

Ishika then slowly turned Anandi's face towards her

'pata hai , aapki konsi baat mujhe sabsey acchi lagthi hai? she asked

Anandi looked at her blankly

'aapka strength. Jis tarah sey aap andhar sey strong hain aur dusron ko sahara denay ki kabiliyat rakhthi hain. Us baat sey main sabsey zyada impressed hun' Said Ishika

'tho aaj aap ithni kamzor kaise pad sakthi hain aur voh bhi ithni choti sey baat per!' she argued

Anandi looked at her as if saying' choti si baat'

'ok ok choti tho nahi hai, lekin Anandi ji, ye sabh tho hotha hi hain na. Us din aapnay mujhsey yehi kaha tha ki ladna seekho. Kamzor math bano. Tho aap aaj apna chehra kiyun chupa rahi hain jaise aapnay koi galthi ki ho! asked Ishika

'ya tho aap Shiv bhaiyyah ko us ladkay ki taraah samajhthi ho' jisnay meray saath'..' said Ishika

'Nahi' said Anandi immediately. The very thought of comaparing a nice person like Shiv to a creep like Roney made her feel utterly uneasy

'tho jab aapnay mujhe kaha ki , ithna kuch honay kay bavajoodh bhi main wapis us college main jaun. Aur us sharamindagi sey uper uthun, tho aap kiyun nahi neechay aa rahi hain. Aur aapkay saath tho aisa kuch bhi nahi hua' asked Ishika innocently

Anandi thought through Ishika's words. She was right.

Ishika was humiliated in front of her entire college in a worse manner but Anandi had adviced her to face her fears and go back to her college. She had told her to Ignore the comments that people might throw at her and to not worry about any rumours that might have arose. Then why is Anandi behaving this way.

Anandi looked at Ishika.

'Mujhe pata tha ki aap meri baat ko zaroor samjhengi. Abh chaliye. Kuch nahi hua hain.' Said Ishika in a casual tone

Ishika then dragged Anandi down stairs

At the breakfast table Rithul and Ikshu were still teasing shiv when suddently Hansa looked up at the stairs and smiled

'aao beta. thumhara hi intezaar ker rahe thay' said Hansa

As soon as Anandi entered into the room there was pin drop silence. Shiv did not dare look at Anandi.

Anandi sat down besides Naina and took a toast and placed it on her plate.

Ishika was looking smug as if she had just won a war.

Anandi slowly lifted her head and looked at Shiv. She wanted to ask him about the meeting but was unable to generate voice. It seemed that her vocal chords were suddenly shut off. She then thought that it would be better if she does not address him with his name, but address him with his position. That would certainly indicate that she is aloof of yesterday's incidents.

'Collector sahab meeting per kab tak nikalna hai' asked Anandi making Shiv jerk suddenly and causing him drop the spoon

Suddenly Rithul, Ikshu and Naina burst out laughing.

They were all thinking about the 'collector sahab remark that they had made just moments ago'
