Dil Ke Naazuk Dhaage
Part 13
[AFTER 2 DAYS]
Here in, Sharma Mansion, the preparation for the haldi ceremony was going on a full swing. Mayank entered his home and looked around. For a moment, he wondered if he came in the right place as it wasn't seem to his home so much crowded and there he remembered. Today was his Haldi ceremony!..
He asked himself as how he should feel, actually, the main thing was, he was having a mixed of emotions. Everything was going on so much of a roller-coaster speed that he didn't get a chance to think of anything. Sighing over this matter,"Shayad mein zaayeda hi soch raha hoon...It's normal...after all shaadi wala ghar hain.." , he made his way to his room.
Sharma Mansion and Bhushan House were filled with squeals of joy and happiness and the loud noises of the drums and all kinds of wedding songs. In short, every single person was enjoying to the maximum. The mothers couldn't stop dancing and the would-be-wedded couple, just sat in the middle of the hall, making some weird and annoyed expressions, while the women, gathering around, were applying haldi on them. Samrat was suppressing his laugh seeing Mayank's condition and there, Gunjan was smiling and dancing whole-heartedly.

"Maa, yeh sab zaruri hai kya?", Mayank asked in annoyance.
"Rasam hai beta!", Shilpa replied and kept on applying haldi on her son.
"Yeh rasam hai ya torture?!", Mayank asked.
"Bro, agar haldi nahi lagaayoge toh sundar kaise lagoge, aur agar sundar nahi lagoge, toh bhabhi aap par fida kaise hogi haan?", Suhaani said teasingly.
"Shut up Soni!", Mayank said and his annoyance increased more, while the mother-daughter duo were simply enjoying it. After all, these little things in the wedding make it the most memorable days of a lifetime.
"Aur lagaaiye Tayiji!", Samrat said joyfully and Mayank glared him and murmured, "Tujhe toh main baad mein dekh lunga."
Though Nupur was feeling equally annoyed as Mayank, she managed to keep a smile on her face seeing most dearest people of her life, her mum happy. That was all she needed and wanted.
"Nupur sach mein bohot soni lag rahi hai. Tera dulha toh pura lattoo ho jayega.", a woman, giggling, said and Nupur didn't know how she should react on it. For a second, she was angry, but the next moment, she blushed. Ugh! So much confusion! At first, I need to decide if this marriage is actually a compromise or its getting something more than that!
Nupur's thinking session was interrupted when she saw her mom going inside the room so suddenly and wondering what the matter was, she followed her, obviously by making some excuse.
Peeking inside her mom's room, she was dumbstruck to see her angrily talking with someone on the phone.
"Damn Ravish! It's your daughter's wedding and you are hell onto ruining it? How can you even think of that? What's your problem? Maine kaha naa ki I'll return your money soon! Just give me some days" As each of the words collided with Nupur's eardrums, she felt numb and tears slowly flowed from her eyes.She instantly moved inside the room and confronted her mother.
"Maa, aapne itni badi baat mujhse kyun chupaayi?", Nupur stiffly asked Radhika who was in deep thoughts. Both were standing facing each other.
"Maa, I'm asking you something. Aapne mujhe kyun nahi bataaya ki aapne uss aadmi se paise liye hai? Why the hell didn't you tell me?", Nupur asked again. Her voice was a little high and her eyes were wide in anger.
Radhika turned her face to the other side and weakly said, "Beta, tumhari shaadi ke liye paiso ki bohot zarurat thi. Mujhe aur koi raasta nazar nahi aaya, issi liye-"
Cutting Radhika's statement, Nupur asked in disbelief, "Aapne ek bar bhi nahi socha ki agar mujhe yeh baat pata chalegi toh main kaise react karungi? How could you do this, maa? Jis insaan se main nafrat karti hu, aapne ussise hi-" She stopped as mixed emotions took over her. She was angry but she felt like to cry, too. Yet she didn't want to fall weak in front of her mother.
Turning back, she coldly declared, "Jab tak main uss aadmi ko uske paise vapas nahi karungi, main shaadi nahi karungi."
"Beta, tu yeh kya kehe rahi hai? Yeh kaise ho sakta hai? 4 din mein 5 lacs ka intezaam kaise hoga?", Radhika asked Nupur, shocked.
"Ho jaayega.", Nupur said and left the room.

Nupur came out of the room wiping her tears, just when; a girl came to her and said, "Nupur didi, Gunjan aapko bula rahi hai."
Faking a smile, she said, "Tu chal, main aati hu."
The girl nodded and left, and Nupur, fixing her dupatta and hairstyle, pretended to be normal, went back to the Haldi celebration and sat beside Gunjan.
"Haan Gunji bol."
"Kaha chali gayi thi? Kabse aawaz de rahi thi, phir Diya ne kaha ki tu andar room mein hai. Kya hua? Koi baat hai kya?"
"Baat? Nahi toh!", Nupur said with a shaking voice.
"Tu pareshaan sound kar rahi hai, Nupur.", Gunajn said worriedly.
"Gunji, aisi koi baat nahi hai.", Nupur said, controlling her overwhelming feelings.
"Nupur, yeh sach hai ki main teri koi apni behen nahi...humara khoon ka rishta nahi..per dosti ka hain..kya apne ander ke dard apni iss dost ki nahi batayegi.., itna bhi vishwas nahi hain mujhe per...chal ab bata kya baat hain bahut hua tera chupana..mujhse nahi raha jaa raha bata..!!!", Gunjan said Nupur in an ordering tone.
"Tu nahi maanegi naa?", Nupur asked.
"Jaanti hai toh phir poochti kyun hai?", Gunjan said with attitude.
Nupur smiled slighty seeing her friend's attitude and holding Gunjan's wrist, she seriously said, "Chal mere saath." Saying that, she took Gunjan inside the room and closed the door.
Both friends sat on the bed opposite to each other.
"Gunji, maa ne mere shaadi ke liye loan li hai.", Nupur informed Gunjan.
"Haan toh?", Gunjan confusedly asked and continued, "Iss mein worried hone ki kya baat hai?"
"Maa ne loan papa se liya hai.", Nupur said in disgust.
"Kya?", Gunjan said, dumbfounded.(Gunjan Knows that Nupur didn't like her father when her mother and he got divorced.)
"Haan Gunji. Aur aab who insaan maa ko paiso ke liye pareshaan kar raha hai. Aur maine maa se kaha hai ki jab tak unke paise unko vapas nahi kar deti, main shaadi nahi karungi.", Nupur said.
Kitne paise ki loan li hai?", Gunjan asked with a scared look.
"5 lacs.", Nupur informed.
"Itne saare paiso ka intezaam kaise hoga, Nupur?", Gunjan asked tensely.
"Pata nahi, par itna maine decide kar liya hai ki I won't get married until I repay his loan back.", Nupur determinedly said.
"Agar tujhe bura na kage to kya mein Dad se"".Gunjan suggested.
"Nahi nahi Gunji...please...mein nahi le sakti...ye humari dosti ki insult hogi...please..".Nupur said
"Koi Insult nahi hogi...Nupur..".Gunjan try to convince her..
"Nahi gunji..mera concious mujhe ye allow nahi karega Please.."..Stressing on the word please making her to drop this idea.
"Nupur, I guess tujhe Mayank se iss bade mein discuss karna chahiye.", Gunjan suggested again
"Gunji tera dimaag sach mein kharaab ho gaya hai.", Nupur said and rolled her eyes.
"Nupur, he is your to-be-husband and he can help you, I'm sure.", Gunjan said.
"Tu paagal hai kya? Main Mayank se paise lungi?", Nupur asked in disbelief.
"Arey paise leneko nahi bol rahi hu. At least he can show you a way to get out of this problem. After all, shaadi ke baad tum log apni life share karne waale ho.", Gunjan said smilingly.
"Are you sure Gunji? Kya mujhe Mayank se baat karni chahiye iss baare mein?", Nupur asked Gunjan to be sure.
"I'm sure. Call him or better meet him.", Gunjan advised.
"Abhi milna aur bahar jaana manaa hai Gunji. Kaise milungi?", Nupur asked, baffled.
"Aww..my sugary cuitie pie..uski chinta tum na karo..".Gunjan smiled...
"To kese hoga...".Nupur asked,
Gunjan gave a victory smile and said, "Samrat ko phone karo."
Saying she winked to her
Hope you all Like it...
