Humsafar
Yash's meeting had finished.he got the project.he was so happy,he just called Aarti.she didn't receive it.he checked the time.it was 12.30pm.his self-thought-she must be in the kitchen.he smiled listlessly thinking of her.its 22nd December,a very special day for him.7 years ago,in this day,he met his 'would be wife' in their engagement.before it,he only heard about her from his mom.his dad Mr Suraj Pratap is the renowned businessman of Bhopal.he wanted him to handle their family business.but Yash wanted to do something else by his own effort.so,he became civil engineer and settled down in Mumbai.he was over concentrated on his work.his parents were worried of him,they decided to marry him.he had no choice,he just told his mom to find any simple,patient girl who would adjust with his life-style.his mom showed him some pics of girls.he only looked at 1st girl's pic.she was looking so simple,there was nothing special to select her.but her satisfied smiling face attracted him.he asked her who was she.
his mom-she's Aarti.i don't think she'll agree for u.she has rejected many proposals.
Yash-why?what's her problem?
Mom-don't know.she never says.she has completed M.S and is a gynecologist.
Yash-wow,she's a doctor.
Mom-yaah,that's why she may not want to marry.she even rejected some doctors.
Yash-ok,u first talk with her family.
though he felt little disappointed.after 2 days,he got a good news.she accepted their proposal.he was very happy at the same time he felt nervous.he felt to call her,he hesitated what she would think.he had many questions,he wanted to know her.till this day,he became so restless.he set some questions in his mind to ask her privately.and finally,the day came.he along with his family went in her house to have the engagement ceremony.the house was well-decorated,though Yash was only looking for her.when she came,he looked at her,he felt his heart-beat stopped.he forgot everything.he was like-oh my God,this simple fairy's going to be my wife.soon,his little sister Pari pinched him and teased-bro,u haven't engaged yet.stop drooling her. Yash felt irritated,his S.T-'why everything's going so slow?' after exchanging ring,he got a chance to talk with her.all were celebrating while he told Pari to bring her in the terrace alone.she came after few mins.she silently stood beside him.he was blanked,he tried to start conversation.he was stammering in nervousness.she might be understood.she asked him-how do u know my finger's size?
Yash laughed out and said-what?he couldn't believe,in fact he never expected this ques from her.
Aarti-I mean,u didn't meet me,the ring is so perfect.
Yash-honestly speaking,I didn't think of size.i liked it and brought.i was tensed so forgot to think of it.
Aarti-oh,then I must say,I'm lucky.
Yash smiled.then Pari came,Yash's Dad was calling him.he was about to say her bye,he found she was smiling.so,he just went to downstairs.Yash didn't get his answers,one thing he was sure that she liked him.that was a big relief for him.their marriage was fixed after 1 month.he tried to call her,like everytime,he cut it thinking if she took it wrong.he got busy in work.still sometimes,he mistakenly called Pari, 'Aarti'.Pari didn't lose a chance to tease him.she said-bro,wont u lover her?love at first sight. Yash-no,its not love.i just liked her.he thought himself then why he felt so attracted for her?it might be because of her simplicity,or he wanted someone like her.he was impressed by her.
The wedding day-
In the morning,Yash was very excited.he was upset too.she had to leave her family.he was trying to console himself as he would never like to see her teary face.at the wedding time,they completed sath-phere with bows.he couldn't see her face for her veil.while putting Sindhur,he adore her face,she was smiling.he felt so blessed like he was proposing her front of all,she became his.unexpectedly,she didn't cry.Yash was shockingly adored his wife leaving all happily.he felt more happy.their wedding night was more different.while Yash was tensed about what he should talk or do,Aarti was waiting for him.she knew she had to spend her rest life with him.Yash entered into their room making a noise.he was praying in mind everything went well.he locked the door slowly.he found Aarti standing beside window.he felt she might be missing her family.he silently stood near her.he touched her shoulder and said-r u ok? Aarti-yaah,completely.thanks.
Yash-why?
Aarti-for giving me a new and lovely family.
Yash-u like na?
Aarti-ofcourse,I'm the youngest in my family.now I have little sis n bro.
Yash-say something about u.
Aarti-I'm a simple girl with lots of dreams.some of dreams r so valuable,I live for them.like,from childhood,I had a wish to become doctor.so,I completed M.B.B.S and did M.S in the subject what I felt interested,became a gynecologist.for moral issues,I don't want to take it as my profession.so,I've a contact with hospital to check up/give treatment in the weekend at free cost.i'm quite self-centered too.i had to stay in hostel for studies,so I can adjust well in any situation.i always think of my comfortability.
Yash-ok,now I tell u about myself.
Aarti-no need to say,I want to know u by myself.
Yash-great.coj I wont able to describe so nicely like u.u can say if u have any expectation from me.
Aarti-ok,I just expect u'll understand my feelings.
Yash-ok,I'll try.i hope I wont disappoint u.
she smiled.she knew his answer.
Aarti-don't hesitate if u want to know something else.tell me.dont be so formal .i'm ur wife not teacher.
Yash laughed at himself.his S.T-poor me,why am behaving stupidly?even she's not so nervous as i.now say whatever is in ur mind.hurry.
Yash-why u rejected many guys?i mean they were well-qualified,why u accepted me?
Aarti-I told u I'm simple.i never believed in fairy tale,where a prince would come and do anything for me.if someone tolerate me whole life,that'll be enough.i hate some natures like smoking,flattery etc.i don't like who shows off and want to marry me for my qualification.i always wanted to marry someone honest and passionate to his work.
Yash-u don't know anything of me.then why?
Aarti-what do u think I like u for ur biceps n muscles?i've inquired of u.
Yash hid his face,he was so embarrassed of his ques,he didn't expect such reply.
Aarti-sorry,I don't mean to hurt u.i'm tired.i think we should sleep now.
Yash-yaah,sure.u get changed.
he went to washroom.Aarti sat on the sofa and was putting off her jeweleries.she touched her Sindhur,she felt heavenly thinking of her innocent life-partner.her S.T-poor my hubby.what can I do?i don't know how to shy and talk softly with someone.i hope he didn't get any shock.she took her mobile and checked it.she looked disappointed.Yash came out and lay on the bed keeping space for her.his S.T-oh god,what an original piece u've sent for me.why I cant say a word properly in front of her?what she's thinking of me?now,before doing more wrong,just sleep. Aarti also lay beside him.her S.T-god,why didn't u send me as a guy?he must be understood,why I'm still single.
In the morning,
Yash's cell was ringing.it was his alarm.he was as usual in deep sleep.Aarti felt disturbed.though she called Yash. Aarti-Yash ji,will u go to office today? Yash heard her voice.he replied in sleep-no,I've taken holidays.why? Aarti-ur alarm's ringing.ok,u sleep.she took his cell and off it.she laughed and woke up.she got ready in 10 mins.she was thinking-why girls take hours being ready? She looked at the mirror and thought- completely ok. Yash lazily opened his eyes and said-Aarti,did u call me? Aarti-yaah. Yash saw her standing being ready,he got up with a crash and shouted-why u r so perfect?
Aarti-I don't know,I love to be perfect.
he shut his mouth by his hand and thought-oh no.what I said in slip of tongue.now,how to say her sorry? He came near her and said-woh,actually,when I saw u opening my eyes.i cant believe u woke up.u had proper sleep na?
Aarti-yaah.Yash closed his eyes and said at once-I'm sorry if I hurt u by my stupid ques.Aarti laughed and said-don't be.u r totally opposite to me.no sorry n no thanks in friendship.we r friends na? Yash felt so happy,he thanked God that she told it,either it would take a month for him to say her. Aarti-u know something,I've only one best friend,Meet.he's 2 years junior to me.he always says-I'll get someone different from me as hubby.
Yash-oh,that's true.where's he?didnt he come in our wedding? Aarti-he lives in New York.he promised to come but at last moment he had got an urgent work.he didn't call me yet.i'm angry at him. Yash-forget it,he'll call soon.i think he's feeling bad that he couldn't join us.
Aarti-yaah.tell me am I looking perfect?
Yash-ur eyes r beautiful,why don't u put eye-liner?
She came closer to him.he was surprised what she was doing.Aarti whispered-don't say anyone,my hands shiver,when I take eye-liner.i'll ask Pari.he laughed and said-poor ur hand.its used to take scissors . Aarti-don't laugh.i'll learn any technique from her.
Yash-Mrs Gynecologist,do u know cooking?
Aarti-no,not at all.but I've learned making 'Kheer' specially for today's ritual.
Yash-u r very smart,I must say.
Aarti-I know.
She really made a tasty dish of kheer.all were praising of it and gave her gifts except Yash.his mom was impressed.though Aarti cleared her that she would learn cooking from her.she had made great friendship with Pari.she happily met with all guests including Yash's friends.then Pari showed her their whole house.when she went to their room,she found a gift.it was yash's.she found a nice diary and a letter.'I don't know about ur likings,I know u r very special and different,I hope u'll like it.share ur beautiful moments so that u can always remember ur happiness.-ur Yash' it was unexpected.she liked it very much,specially the letter,his writing,his name.she felt him someone very closer to her heart.at night,Yash was sleeping facing opposite to her.she was not feeling sleepy.she felt restless,it was a strange feeling for her.she didn't know what to do.she felt to call Yash,she looked at him,found him in deep sleep.she hugged him from back and tried to sleep.she closed her eyes,she could feel his breathing.in the morning,Aarti opened her eyes slowly,she found herself on his embrace.she smiled as she saw he embraced her from back.he kept his head on her neck,she was feeling little tickling.he was sleeping so peacefully,she adjusted herself.she checked the time and wanted to get up.but she couldn't.she didn't feel to disturb him.after sometime,Pari knocked their door and called her.so,she silently got up,covered him with sheet.she went to washroom.she got fresh-up and was about to call Yash.but she found him awoke.Yash was blankly adoring her,suddenly said-don't u sleep properly?
Aarti-why?actually,I'm late sleeper.its my bad habit.so,lil bit. Yash-have some sleep in afternoon.u've black marks under ur eyes.
Aarti-oh,ok.
she liked his caring nature.in some days,Aarti learned well-cooking from his mom.she cooked so perfectly,hardly anyone could doubt she never cooked before.Yash was loving her perfect natures.the way she showed great interest in learning any new thing was highly appreciating for him.Yash's holiday finished,he had to shift in his house of Mumbai.he felt Aarti would be alone there.so,he took Pari with them.Pari was transferred into another college.she felt glad that he always cared about her feelings.though she had boring day when Yash and Pari were not at home.so,she used to experiment with new dish and awaited for them.they tasted it,would fight among themselves to eat more.she always enjoyed their mischief.sometimes,she felt boring of her perfect cooking.she wanted to hear complains from Yash.she used to mix more spices in the food.unfortunately,Yash liked it too.before marriage,he thought she would never enter in the kitchen.now,she was doing everything for him.he was slowly understanding her.when he returned from office,he used to hug her and said-I had boring day without u.Aarti happily started talking about her day.if she was sad,she would be silent or started crying.then he used to try everything to make her happy.but he never asked her the reason.he was sure of one thing that it was not about him.it was strange but true.she never argued with him.she had no complain about his natures.rather,she always became his strength.whenever he was upset thinking he took any wrong decision choosing his career,she encouraged him like-our life's very short,do what u like.if u fail in ur liking,u wont be so disappoint.ur decisions r always good,cause u know urself most.so,don't regret.when she got normal,she used to share her worries.maximum were about Meet.he didn't feel bad whether he adored her affectionate love towards him(Meet) like a younger brother.they respected each-others feelings.eventually their understanding grew well,sometimes they didn't need to say like they could their eyes.Yash used to miss her in the weekend as she had appointment with patients.he was always proud of her.his S.T-thanks god,u've given me so strong life-partner who wont let me down,she stands for me like shadow.
Yash could never forget that night when they made love.she wouldn't able to bear this extreme pain.she couldn't control her tears.he stopped at once ,embraced her tightly.she found him crying.she was shocked and said-why u r crying?
Yash- I cant hurt u.
Aarti removed his tears,said-its ok.its not ur fault.
Yash-I don't want to know anything,I just cant hurt u.
Aarti-ok,u sleep.
She caressed his hair and he slept embracing her like a kid.
Next year,a baby girl 'Palak' born and filled their life with immense happiness.their relation became more strong.sometimes,Yash felt his life would not be so perfect if she was not with him.
He got a call from Aarti.he received it,said-yaah,I called u.he heard his 5 years naughty daughter's giggles.
Yash-Palak beta,say.
Palak-papa,come soon.tell me what u've planned for mom to surprise her.
Yash-ok,I'll.love u baby,bye.
He laughed thinking of her.she(Palak) troubled her mom so much.still,Aarti handled her with patience.Palak always made silly reasons while having food.like one day,she was complaining Aarti why she didn't cook her fav dish 'khichdi'. Aarti-beta,I cooked but it burnt half.i had an urgent call while cooking.
Palak-papa, why u disturb mom in her cooking time?
Yash smiled and said-ok,I wont.now u eat something else. Aarti informed him later she talked with her friend. Yash-I know.no need to say.
Aarti-u know what ur naughty daughter did?
Yash-whats new?
Aarti-she gave my number to all her friends saying her mom's a doctor,if they need they can call me.
Yash laughed out and said-what can I do?she's also different,neither she got ur natures nor mine.
Aarti-I try to return soon so that I can spend time with u and her.and she..
Yash-forget it.u at least think of urself in the weekend.we've no problem at all.
Aarti-I know,oh,mom n dad r coming on Saturday.
Yash-yaah,I'll go to receive.why u do so much for me?
Aarti-not for u,for us. First,I wanted to be a good doctor.when I married u,I wanted to be a good wife.now I want to be s good mom.
Yash-u r the best wife and mom.u would be more successful if u focused on ur career.
Aarti-what need of that success,for which I cant give my family any time?my own daughter would need me and I would busy serving others.rather I feel myself successful.ur success is mine na?if my daughter prouds of me,what i need more?anyways,none can snatch my knowledge.i don't feel bad.i told u I'm very simple.my happiness exists in urs.
Yash-even mine too.
