PART 19
The woman looks at Rani shocked. She slowly sees her hands gripped with someone else's hand! Rani follows her gaze and she quickly pulls her hand out of his grip! Yudi is shocked by her behavior and looks at her in a confused manner while Rani is still watching the woman! Yudi looks at Rani and then at the woman even more comfused.
The woman gives a rani look which Rani reads perfectly...It's a mixture of anger, disgusting, hatred, shocked and sad look! The woman swiftly moves away without wanting to look at Rani again!
Rani follows the woman calling out "Amma". Yudi is stunned to hear it. Behind Amma, Chachi also follows!
Rani desparately tells chachi: Chachi, Amma ko rokhiye naa, Hume unse baat karna hai!
Chachi: Beta, hum koshish karte hai!
In the meanwhile Amma goes near the taxi and speaks to Chachi: Chandrakala, Chalo yahaan se. Usse bat karne ki koi zaroorat nahi hai. Jis ladki ghar ki sari maan - mariyaada aur sanskaar bhool gayi, usse rishta kya rakhna? Isske bare mei kya kya sapne dekhe the, sab mitti me mila dia!
Chandrakala: Didi, ek baar sun toh lijeye!
Amma: Hume dhokebaazon se nafrat hai! Ab aa rahi ho ya mei chaloon?
Chachi looking helpless leaves from there and gets into the taxi. The taxi moves. Rani starts running behind the taxi....She runs for quite some distance! Yudi feeling very bad follows her. Rani cannot run anymore, she falls down on her knees! Yudi seeing her fall down, runs to her and lifts her up. Rani is crying very badly....She hugs him unable to control herself! Her mother who had been very supportive had failed to understand her. She had completely misunderstood what she had seen and took it in a wrong sense!
Yudi doesn't know how to console her. He is completely dejected seeing her break down. He suddenly gets an idea!
Yudi: Rani, chaliye humare saath, Hum abhi gaanv chalte hai.
Rani loosens her grip and looks at him to register what he said.
He looks at her teary eyes, wipes her tears and says: Hume abhi saare galat fahamiyaan door karte hai! Jaldi chaliye....taaki hum raat tak wapaas aa sakte hai!
Rani: Lekin....RB, Niharika aur Saksham humara intezaar kar rahe honge!
Yudi: Woh samasya toh Niharika aur Saksham sambhaal lenge! Iss waqt isse zyaada mehtvapoorn aur kuch nahi ho sakta!
Yudi calls Saksham and informs him the situation. Saksham encourages him to go ahead with his plan and promises to care of the situation along with Niharika.
YuRa come near the station, catch a taxi and head towards the village. Yudi hoped to salvage the situation before its too late.
Rani is sitting very nervously thinking how to face her family. Yudi understands her fear and immediately puts his around her shoulders assuring that everything would be sorted out soon! Rani rests her head on his arms silently praying.
Rani suddenly feels the necessity to tell Yudi how she landed as servant in the palace.
She hesitatingly calls him and says: Hume aapse kuch kehna hai....Hum nahi jaante hai ki yeh sahi samay hai ya nahi, Hum aapse kuch nahi chupana chahte hai.....Lekin yeh bataana hume bahut aavashyak lag raha hai...Taaki aap humare bare mei sab kuch jaan le! Aap hume galat mat samajhiye!
Yudi seeing her faltering says: Aapko humse jo kehna hai, kahiye! Hum aapko kabhi galat nahi samjhenge!
Rani (Holding his hand which is on her shoulders) gathering courage says to him; about how she topped in her studies....how they had financial crisis.....how her mother and grandmother thought of selling the land and sacrificing Munna's studies for her sake...how she planned with her Chachi to get a job...how her Chachi was very supportive....She tells him without hiding anything!
Yudi sadly hears everything, he leaved her which she was holding abruptly and massages her head. His actions spoke louder than words...She understood what he was trying to say and was ready to face her family!
YuRa reach the village by noon. Rani is excited to see her village unexpectedly and at the same time she fears the consequences that she has to face after meeting her family!
Yudi: Pehle aap chaliye, hum aapke piche aate hai!
Rani goes and knocks the door....Munna opens the door and he is excited to see her. He screams everyone about her arrival and hugs her! Munna does not notice Yudi standing there but Yudi seeing all these has a wide amile spread across his face!
Amma comes from inside and looks at Munna and says: Bets thode der bahaar khel kar aajaao phir didi se baat kar lena! Ab who bahut taki hui hai naa!
Munna is about to protest but looking at his mother's determined face, he goes out!
Rani is about to enter the house while Amma screams at her: Wahiin ruk jaa!
Dadi also comes there in the meawhile.....She sees the truth in Rani innocent eyes and trusted her wholly!
Dadi: Arre, Sumitra andar toh aane do!
She looks at Rani says: betiyaa andar aa jaao!
Sumitra: Amma, aaj usne mera sar jhuka diya! Mujhe usski shakal tak nahi dekhni hai!
Rani: Amma, humari baat toh suniye.....
Amma: Kya kehna chahti hai tu... Kya nyayochit (justification) dena chachti hai tu? Mujhe laga ki tum shehar aapne padayi poori karne ke liye gayi hai....Lekin ab lagta hai kit um kuch aur hi kar rahi ho! Mujhe laga ki pdayi poori karne ke baad gaanv lautkar apne pita ka naam roshan karoge, lekin tumne mera vishwaas thod diya! Kitne ummeed ke saath tumhe aaj mei dekne aayi thi....Lekin kya dekhne ko mila? Tum kissi ke haath pakad kar poore shehar ghoom rahi thi?
Rani: Nahiin Amma, Aise koi baat nahi hai! Hum unse bahut pyaar karte hai! Hum aapka sar kabhi khuka nahi sakte! Aap ek baar unse mil lijeye phir aap job hi nirnay lenge hume manzoor hai!
Amma: Nahiin Rani, Tumne humara bharosa ka galat faida uttaya! Hum -
Dadi cuts her and says: Sumitra ek mauka to de do! Dekho, Hume sirf humare bachchon ki khushi chahiye! Iss Kushi ke beech hume kabhi deevar nahi banana hai! Kisse pata, shayaad Rani ka chunav hume pasand ho!
Dadi look at Rani and aks her to call him. Sumitra also calms herself down in what Dadi says! Rani goes out and calls Yudi.
Yudi comes in and takes blessings from elders and stands there without knowing how to start the conversation!
Sumitra and Dadi who had seen him get shocked! Sumitra had not paid attention earlier and cannot hide her shock now! They wonder how a prince fell in love with her....an ordinary person...?!
Yudi starts his conversation very slowly: 'Amma', 'Dadi'.....Hum aapko aise bula sakte hai naa?
Amma is still in shock while Dadi nods her head!
Yudi: Amma, hum aapke beti se bahut pyaar karte hai aur hum unse shaadi karna chahte hai!
Amma (politely): Yeh mumkin nahi hai....Aap kahaan aur hum kahaan....Aap ka aur humara ruthba (status) kabhi nahi mil sakta!
Yudi: Aama, hum sirf aapki beti se pyaar karte hai, unki darja se nahi...Hum unch - neech mei kabhi aastha nahi rakhte! Amma, Rnai humare jeena ka maksad hai, Agar yeh nahi hoti toh shayad hum zinda hi nahi rehte! Inhone ne hi hume jeena sikhaya, pyaar karna sikhaya. Hum Rani ke bagair jee nahi sakte! Yehi humare taakat hai, prerna hai, humare zindagi hai!
Amma totally melts on hearing this. She says: Par.... beta.....
Yudi: Amma, aapko iss vishay par humara yakeen karna hi hoga! Hum aapse vaada karte hai ki hum aapke beti ka aapni zindagi se bhi zyaada khayal rakhenge! Hum unhe koi mushkilon ka saamna nahi karne denge, Hum humesha unhe khush rakhenge!
He folds his hands to her and says: Amma, Aapko bas unke haath thamne ke liye anumati chahte hai. Iss ke alaava aapko kissi baat ki fikar karne ki koi zaroorat nahi hai, Hum kisi halaat mei in ka saath nahi chodenge! Ab se Rani ki saari zimmadariyaan humari hai!
Dadi and Amma have tears in their eyes! Rani is touched by whatever he said and she wants to go stop him pleading for her sake!
Amma: Rani betiyaa, mujhe maaf kar do! Hume iss rishta se koi aitraaz nahi hai!
YuRa are so relieved after hearing those words. Dadi also nods her head in affirmation. Yudi feels very happy and both YuRa take blessings from Dadi and Amma.
Dadi: Bhagwaan aap ki jodi ko sahi salaamat rakhen!
Amma asks them to go to temple and take blessings and then leave to palace.
YuRa leave to temple and on the way she asks permission from Yudi if they could meet Chacha and Chachi and then leave to temple. Yudi agrees. YuRa go their house and takes blessings. Chachi is too happy for Rani and and hugs her.
Chachi: Rani betiyaa.... Bahut din ho gaye tumhaare awaaz sunke, aaj shaam ke aarti tum gaaoge!
All of them leave to the temple together. Rani sings the aarti...Thats when Yudi registers a shock....Rani was the same girl, he stole the duppatta from! He just could not believe it! He feels so blessed!
YuRa takes permission to leave and sits in taxi to go to palace! Just a few minutes later, Rani (suddenly remembering something) says: Bhaiyaa, gaadi rokhiye! Hum thode der mei aate hai!
Yudi looks at her confused; but he doesn't question her.
Rani gets down and takes him somewhere.....
Rani: Arjun, hum aapko kuch dikhaana chahte hai!
Rani takes him to hill top and both of them look at the exotic sunset! It was very rare view and it could be seen only form Rani's village!
Yudi is mesmerized by its beauty....He had never seen anything more beautiful; especially with Rani beside him, it looked even more beautiful! Her face was glowing with happiness....He could not take eyes off her!
Rani comes closer to him, to show something...she slips down and falls straight into Yudi's arms! YuRa look at each other completely lost in each others eyes...after some time, they hug intensly.
Rani comes out of her reverie first and says: Bahut der ho rahi hai...Chalen?
Yudi says yes but before leaving he holds her and kisses her forehead and tells: Rani, hum iss din ko kabhi nahi bhool sakte! Humne aapko paakar saara jag paaya hai!
Rani takes his hands in hers and replies: Hum toh aapke bina ek pal ke liye bhi jee nahi sakte! Aapne toh meri zindagi badal di!
YuRa get overwhelmed and hug each other even more passionately.....Never wanting to leave.....Yudi promises to keep her happy always and vows to give her only happiness from then....He thinks about her sacrifices and assures that it would never go in vain!
The bright sunsetting promised them to bring a new morning filled with lots of happiness...Now, everything seemed to be just perfect and nothing could ever go wrong.....!
They hug each other emotionally until Yudi's phone rings!
PS: I hope you all like it......I know I haven't done justice on the romance part...but will definitely improve in the next part....😳
