PART 1
Hi, guys, this is first time, I m writing. Have enjoyed reading many of the posts (OS/FF) earlier written on DIRA on India-forums. And those encouarged me to write this.. Hope u like it..
==============
This FF starts from the point when Ratan had got to know about Diya's feelings for him. Diya had confessed her love for him but Ratan told her that he doesn't love her the way she does. Diya was very hurt but somehow she was able to control her emotions. She holds back her tears and doesn't cry, as she knew her tears will break Ratan. Ratan wanted Diya to speak her heart out and scold him as he wasn't able to fulfill his promises he made to her during their marriage. In fact Diya says - Its okay Ratan, both of us knew this marriage was a mismatch. You were not happy in this marriage, since the beginning. Aur isme aapki koi galti nahin hai, galti to hamaare haalato ki hai. Zabardasti aap humse pyaar Karen, yeh hum nahin chahenge... Hum achche se jaante hain, jis cheez ko karne ka aapke mann nahin hota, woh aap agar karna bi chahen to, aap nahin kar paate... So, Lets not take drag this relationship further and inform everyone at home that we will not be able to continue in this FORCED marriage any longer and we want to separate.
Ratan was shocked to hear this, but Diya meant everything she said. She holds his hand and starts walking towards Kakimasaa's room. She informs Kaakimasaa about their decision. Kakimasaa knew the truth of their marriage and she actually wanted them to separate. But she asks them to continue living together; atleast till Yash banna's marriage, becoz news of their separation may affect Yash's marriage. Ratan and Diya agree to kakimasaa's advise (Esha baisaa overhears all the conversation).
Staying together after all what happened, was actually very awkward for both Ratan and Diya now. They were not able to behave either as husband and wife or as best friends. Diya was however emotionally and mentally stronger than Ratan and was somehow able to act normally in front of other family members. But Ratan was not okay and looked disturbed, he needed emotional support from his fren, his best fren Diya. But Diya was trying to avoid Ratan as she felt that she would not be able to control her tears, her emotions in front of Ratan. And she knows Ratan cares a lot for her and seeing her cry will make Ratan even weaker and she didn't want that.
Though for other family members, Diya looked absolutely normal, Esha baisaa cud see how sad her sister really is. She knew how much Diya loved Ratan. Esha tells Diya that she had heard their discussion with Kakimasaa. Esha tells her that living with Ratan like this, is gonna hurt her only, as there are still few months for yash's marriage.
Diya says- Koi baat nahin jijisa, Agar humme aise kuch maheene aur bitaane hain, to hum manage kar lenge. Haan, humme bahut takleef ho rahi hai aise, par hum yeh takleef bhi sah lenge, Ratan ke kiye, humare pariwar ke liye... Aap chinta mat kariye..
But Esha can see that Diya is in great sorrow and pain and she can't see her sister like this. She decides to inform their father about this. Sajjan Singh gets furious to know the truth of Ratan and Diya's relationship. He knew that Ratan may take time to adjust but he hadn't thought that he will think of separation so soon (he didn't know that it was Diya who actually asked for it). He decides to go to kesar mahal.
That morning, Diya was having a very strange feeling, since she got up.. Her heart was beating very fast and she was having palpitations. She felt as if something very wrong is gonna happen.. She didn't look fine.. Ratan could seen tension on her face and asked her - Diya, kya hua, aap theek to hain na? Diya- haan, hum theek hain.. Woh humme, apna dupatta nahin mil raha tha, wahi dhundh rahen hain (she just gave a silly excuse for her behavior) and started acting as if she is really searching for sumthing.. She started throwing her clothes out of wardrobe trying to search some dupatta.. Seeing Diya throwing everything out of wardrobe and making their room messy, made Ratan little angry. He asked if he cud help her, for which Diya refused straight away.. Ratan felt bad and preferred to stay silent and walk out of the room.
As Ratan came down to main hall for breakfast, he sees Kaakusaa (Sajjan Singh) coming, who looked very angry. Ratan pays regards to him and says- Kaakusaa, aap..? Aap yahan, achaanak..? I mean aapne bataya nahin... Sajjan Singh-Bataya to aapne nahin, Datahukum... Ratan- kya..? kya nahin bataya humne, Kaakusaa.. ? Sajjan Singh- Sachchayi... ! Ratan- kaisi Sachchayi...? Sajjan Singh- Aapke aur Diya baisaa ke rishte ki sachchayi... Yahi ki aap Diya baisa se pyar nahin karte... Aur yeh khush-haal shaadi, bas ek dikhawa hai, jo aap sab ke saamne bahut achche se karte hain... Par woh sab waade jo aapne Diya se kiye, the iss shaadi lo lekar, kya woh sab ek jhooth tha, dikhawa tha? Aapne humse kaha tha ki aap diya ka khyaal rakenge.. Usey kabhi bhi dukhi nahin hone denge, uska saath zindagi bhar denge, kabhi unhe akela nahin chodenge.. Kya hua unn sab waadon ka, datahukum.. ? Aapko to apne waadon ka pakaa hona chahiye, datahukum. Fir kya hua? Aaj aap fir se, meri beti ke dukhon ka kaaran ban gaye.. Par ab bas, bahut ho gaya.. Main abhi issi waqt diya ko yahan se le jaunga.. (Diya was standing upstairs and heard everything. She makes a phone call to Yash banna)
Ratan- Kaakusa.. main aapko bataane hi waala tha, par haalaat aise the ki main... Sajjan Singh- Bas datahukum, bas... Ek aur shabad nahin.. Bulaaiye Diya ko.. Hum abhi usey yahan se le jayenge..
Diya comes. She prefers to stand a little away from Ratan as she knew that time has come for their separation. Kakimasaa (choti thakraanisaa) comes and tries to console Sajjan Singh.. Sajjan sa, please shaant ho jayiye.. Humme bhi abhi pata chala se.. Hum bhi bahut dukhi sain.. Par thode thande dimaag se kaam lijiye.. Abhi aise Diya Thakraanisaa ko mat le jaayiye.. Yash banna ki bi shaadi paas aa gayi sai, log kya kahenge.. ? Baatein bannyenge aisi waisi.. Sajjan Singh- Nahin choti thakraani sa.. Humme kuch nahin sunna.. Logon ne to pahle bhi bahut baaten banayi thi, jab hamari 18 saal ki masoom, kunwari ladki aapke ghar, ek pahredaar ki tarah aayi thi.. Kitni baaten suni, diya ne aapke pariwaar ke liye- Ki, kyun, ek kunwari ladki 12 saal tak ek ajnabi ghar mein, ek ladke ki pahredaari kar rahi hai... Par inn sab ke bawzood diya ke logon ki parwah kiye bina, apna wachan poora kiya.. inn 12 saalon mein, diya baisaa par kitne jaanleva hamle hue, pur unhone kabhi bhi iski parwaah nahin ki, aur datahukum ki raksha puri nishtha se ki, aur kabhi unhe koi aanch tak nahin aane di... Itnaa sab kuch, iss pariwaar ke liye karne ke baad bhi, kya diya aap sabne humari beti ko.. Kahiye datahukum..? Ratan cudnt say anything. Kakimasaa- dekhiye Sajjan saa, yash ki shaadi tak rukne dijiye, Diya ko. Fir le jaayiye unhe. Hum kuch koni kahenge.. Humare pariwaar ki izzat ke baare to mein sochiye.. Sajjan Singh - kya? Aapko abhi bhi apne pariwaar ki izzat ki padi hai.. yash ki shaadi mein, logon ko Ratan aur Diya ke tute rishte ke baare mein kuch pataa nahin chale, nahin to aapke pariwaar ki be-izzati hogi.. shaadi mein jhoote khushhaal jode ki tarah diya aapke ratan se saath kadi rahen, bas iss liye diya yahan ruke?.. kya diya koi cheez hai, jiski zaroorat aapko yash ki shaadi tak hai, uske baad aapko diya ki zaroorat nahin hai.. diya ko iss kesar mahal se hamesha dukh hi mile hain, bas ab aur nahin.. bahut sah liya humari beti ne.. chaliye Diya, aap apna saaman pack kar Lijiye, hum abhi yahan se aapko le jayenge..
Diya starts walking towards her room.. Diya looks into Ratan eyes as if she wanted to say her final Good Bye. Ratan cud understand that Diya is trying to say something to him.. But Diya's lips didnt utter a word and Diya started walking.. Ratan started feeling restlessness within and he wanted stop to Diya, but now he had no right to stop her.. Ratan goes to Sajjan Singh and asks him to sit and have some water.. He tries to console him but Sajjan Singh is not willing to listen even a single word.. Ratan cud understand his concern for Diya.
Now Ratan knew that Now its time, time to separate.. Ratan started feeling heaviness in his heart and he was able to feel his own heartbeat.. He wanted to meet and talk to Diya one last time, before she leaves (they hadn't spoken to each other properly in last few days).. He starts walking towards his room to meet Diya.
Yash banna stops him and tells him- Kaakusaa.. Ek minute rukiye.. Abhi ke abhi aapko hotel aana padega.. Kuch problem ho gayi hai, project ki files main... plz chaliye. Ratan- Par yash banaa... abhi? Main kuch der mein aata hun.. Aap chaliye.. Yash- Nahin kaakusa.. Aapko abhi chalna hoga, hamare saath.. Bas ek baar, project ki files check kar lijiye, fir aa jayiye wapis.. Yeh thoda important hai. Woh upcoming Vivah project ki files waala folder, aapne computer ke desktop mein hi rakha tha na, ab woh files nahin mil rahi hain...Please Kaakusaa, aaiye. Its urgent... Ratan cudnt say no, as it is indeed an very important project for him.. He thought he will finish that files' work and come back soon, to meet Diya before she leaves kesar mahal. He thinks- Waise bhi, Diya jaane se pehle mujhse ek baak zaroor milengi, he was sure.. He goes to his hotel office and finds that files are not in the folder he had saved.. He tries searching in other folders.. It takes him some time to retrieve those files again. Ratan informs Yash and says.. Yash banna maine files ka folder desktop mein fir se save kar diya hai, aap plz check kar lejiye, aur ek copy apne paas bhi rakh lijiye.. Par mujhe abhi jaldi se wapis ghar jaana hai.. Ok bye.. Yash felt bad as he was just acting in front of Ratan.. He himself had changed the location of files, on Diya's request, so that Ratan leaves for hotel and she doesn't have to face Ratan while she is leaving Kesar Mehal.. She didn't want to see or speak to Ratan at this moment, bcoz she knew that today, she wud not be able to hold back her emotions or act strong in front of Ratan.. And she is aware that Ratan can't bear the sight of her crying.. She packs only few of her belongings and hurriedly makes the room tidy (she knows that messy room makes Ratan angry). Then, she comes downstairs. Diya tells her father- Papasaa, chaliye... hum taiyaar hain. Chaliye, jaldi..
Sajjan Singh takes her suitcase and then, they come out of kesar mahal where car is waiting for them. Diya turns back and gives a final look to kesar mahal, as if she wanted to seal this image of kesal mahal in her heart, forever. They sit in car and driver starts the car.
Ratan hurriedly reaches kesar mahal and is surprised to see that kakusaa is not in main hall. Then he thinks that Kaakusaa wud be with diya in her room. He heads straight away towards the room. He is shocked to see no-one there.. Room is neat with no mess around (totally opposite of how it was when Diya was searching for her dupatta, an hour back). He starts calling Diya's name.. Diya, diya...? Kahan hain aap? Diya? Diya? Kaakusaa? Kaakusaa? Kaakimasaa comes and Ratan asks her-kaakimasaa, Diya kahan hai? Kaakusaa kahan hain? Kab se awaaz de rahaa hun, kahan hain woh ? Kaakimasaa - Datahukum, Diya thakraanisaa wahin chali gaye sain, jahan unhe hona chahiye.. Ratan - kya, kya matlab? Kaakimasaa - Diya baisaa chali gayi sain, apne papasaa ke saath.. Ratan - itni jaldi...? Main mila bhi nahin unse? Itni jaldi kaise jaa sakti hai who, mujhse mile bina..? Kaakimasaa - shayad woh milna hi nahin chahti ho... Ratan - No I don't believe this. Diya mujhse mile bina nahin ja sakti.. Kab, kab gaye woh yahan se? Kaakimasaa- bas abhi.. 2 minute pehle...
Ratan goes out running, hoping to see Diya.. When he goes out of main entrance door, he sees that car is about to leave the gates of kesar mahal.. He calls out Diya's name.. Diya!! Diya...! But car doesn't stop.. Diya sees Ratan in rear-view mirror and she turns back to see him.. But Sajjan Singh stops her and asks her to look ahead.. Diya baisaa, ab aapko, piche mudd kar nahin dekhna hai. Iss kesar mahal ko apni yaadon, aur apni zindagi se hamesha ke liye nikaal fekiye... yahan se appko sirf or sirf takleef hi mili hain.. Ab aap apne aage ki aane wali zindagi ke baare mein sochiye, bas..
Deep in her heart, Diya wanted to ask driver to stop the car so that she cud meet Ratan and hug him one last time. But she decides not to say anything and agrees to her father's advice and says - Ji, babasaa..
(Dream sequence- Car stops and Diya comes out of it. Ratan runs towards her and hugs her tightly. Ratan- Aap mujhse mile bina hi jaa rahi thi, Diya.. Aap aise kaise jaane ki soch sakti hain.. Bataaiye..? Diya- Sorry Ratan, humme maaf kar dijiye... apni best fren ko maaf nahin karenge, aap? Ratan- Nahin, bilkul nahin..! aapne aisa karna ka socha bhi kaise? Mere baare mein ek baar bhi nahin socha aapne, aapse mile bina, aapse baat kiye bina, mera kya haal hoga? Aap janti hain na, aap mere liye kitni important hain.. Diya- haan, hum jaante hain, aur aap bhi humaari life ke sabse important insaan hain, kya yeh aap jante hain...? Ratan- haan..! They both just start smiling, listening to their claims of each other's importance. Diya- chaliye Ratan, ab humme chalna hoga, papasaa wait kar rahen hain humara. Ratan - aapko rokne ka haq kho chuka hun main, par aap mujhse waada kariye ki -humari frenship kabhi nahin tutegi... Diya - I promise, hum humesha best frens rahenge... Par aap bhi humme promise kijiye, ki aap apna khyaal rakenge..Ratan- I promise, aur aap bhi waada kariye ki humesha yun hi hasti rahengi...Diya thinks- humaari hasne ki wazah to aap the Ratan, aap se juda hone ke baad, ab kaise inn hothon par hasee aayegi.. Ratan- Diya? Promise kijiye, aap humesha kush rahengi..Diya - haan, hum waada karte hain.. Ok, ab humme chalna hoga, take care Ratan, bye.. Ratan- Bye Diya... They both kept looking at each other, as if they didn't want this to happen)
In reality, Car doesn't stop and it goes out of kesar mahal. Ratan gets restless, and calls on diya's mobile but she doesn't take his calls and puts her mobile on silent mode as Sajjan Singh will get upset if she talks to Ratan now.. Ratan calls multiple times, but diya doesn't reply.. She knew what ratan would be going thru, as she didn't meet him before leaving kesar mahal.. And not replying to his calls, wud make Ratan even more upset and disturbed. So she decides to switch off her mobile so that Ratan stops trying to call her... Ratan was in tears.. His best fren had gone... He was feeling so incomplete.. Yash banaa comes and tries to console him, but in vain... Ratan keeps asking Yash that how can diya leave without meeting him... Is this the end of their frenship as well? Yash had no answer to this question. He somehow manages to bring Ratan back to his room.. But Ratan is very very upset and is no mood to calm down..
Ratan- Yash banaa, galti meri hai, main hi yahin nahin thaa, jab diya yahan se jaa rahi thi. Ho sakta hai, ki unhone meri wait ki ho, aur main unse milne nahin aa paya? Yash- nahin kaakusaa, isme aapki koi galti nahin hai, aapko zaroori kaam aa gaya tha, bas isliye.. Ratan- nahin yash banaa, saari ki saari galti meri hi hai, Main diya ka khyaal theek se nahin rakh payaa.. Main agar unki zindagi nahin aaya hota, to woh aaj bahut khush hoti... 12 saal pahle, main aur papasaa hukum unse nahin mile hote to, unhe meri pehredaari ke wachan mein nahin bandhna padta.. Aur ab 12 saal ke baad, maine hi, unse bina puche, abhaysa se unka rishta pakka karwa diya.. Theek se abhaysaa ke baare mein, unke gande iraado ke baare mein pata kiye bina... Meri wajah se unki shaadi mein itna bada hungama hua, abhaysa ne Diya ke character par ungali uthaayi, sirf meri wajah se.. Aur fir, diya se unki marzee puche bina, maine un haalaton main unse zabardasti shaadi kar li.. Maine, unka zindagi bhar saath dena ka waada kiya... Aur ab jab woh mujhse itna pyaar karne lagi, to maine kya kiya? Unka dil tod diya... Main bahut bura hun, yash banaa.. Mujh jaisa insaan, diya ka husband hona to dur, unki zindagi mein hona bhi deserve nahin karta... He is so angry at himself right now.. and Yash is not able to console him..
Yash - kaakusaa, aap plz shaant ho jaaiye..dekhiye aise khud par gussa mat kariye.. Aap ki koi galti nahin hai, inn sab main... plz apne aap ko sabhaaliye... Agar diya baisaa yaha hoti to, aapko achche se daant-ti, iss waqt...woh aapko bahut strong insaan maanti hain, aap ab aise kamzor pad jayenge to kaisa lagega unhe..? aapko iss waqt himmat se kaam lena hoga.. Aur aap bhi jaante hain, yeh to honaa hi tha, aaj nahin to kal... Ratan- haan yash banaa main jaanta hun, yeh honaa tha.. Par pata mahin, kyu mujhe kyun itna bura lag raha hai. Mujhe kyun aisa lag raha hai ki Diya yahin honi chahiye, mere paas, mujhe kyun sab adhoora sa lag raha hai.. kyun azeeb si baichani ho rahi hai.. kyun yash banaa? Bataayiye.. Yash - kaakusaa, aap plz, ab inn sab baaton ke baare mein mat sochiye.. Aap plz aaram kariye... Hum aapke liye paani laate hain...Yash goes to kitchen, to get some water for Ratan. When he comes back, he is not able to find Ratan in the room.. Ratan had left. He took his car and drove out of kesar mahal.. Heading where? Even Ratan doesn't know..
Yash calls Diya and informs everything wat happened with Ratan after she left. Diya requests Yash to keep a check on ratan. Yash asks diya- Diya baisa, aap kaakusaa ke phone calls ka to zawaab dijiye, atleast aapse baat karke woh thoda shaant ho jayen.. Diya - nahin yash banaa, abhi humse nahin ho payega.. Hum Ratan se nahin baat kar payenge, iss waqt.. Aur waise bhi, agar hum unse baat nahin karenge, unse nahin milenge, to unke liye aasaan hoga humme bhulana.. Yash- Aur kya aap unhe bhula payengi? Diya- Nahin, kabhi nahin.. Chaliye yeh sab chodiye.. Aap kuch der baad, plz jaakar Ratan ko dhundhiye.. Pata nahin kahan gayen honge, Ratan.. plz unka khayal rakhiye.. Ab hum unki zimmedari aapke upar chod rahen hain.. Yash- Aap chinta mat kijiye.. Hum unkaa dhyaan rakenge.. Aur aapko unka update dete rahenge.. Par waada kijiye ki aap bhi apna khyaal rakengi...Diya- haan, yash banna, hum apna khyaal rakhenge..
