Anita, welcomes the duo inside and requests them to settle down. Initially, there is a silence between them, breaking the silence Anita says "aunty, you had some work??" "we wanted to talk to you" said Koki "jii.. say" Anita responded. hetal took the charge and lovingly said "beta, we know you have through so much in your life (pause) But, beta this life at times we have to leave a few things behind and walk ahead in life" "aunty, what are you saying about?? i cant understand anything at all.." anita said confusingly "we're saying this because we have decided something for your benefit" Koki said "and what is that aunty??" Anita's heart was thumbing hard, "Anita (pause) I and mota bhabhi were planning to call panditji home, he has few marriage propsals for you" Koki said. Anita stood still and spoke nothing, absorbing every word which Koki said, her heart had stopped beating in hearing about the marriage proposals and tears brimmed her eyes because thoughts of losing Ahem were scaring her, Koki continued to say "Anita, dont worry we wont force you to get married, the pandit will be getting a few pictures of the boys who have put forth the marriage proposal for you (pause) if you like anyone of them, then we'l call them here to meet you.. Unless and until you dont agree for the marriage, we wont take any talks further with the family.. Trust me.." "yes anita beta, Koki is very right (pause) Afterall, the life is yours and its only you who'l have the authority to deal with it, the way you want too and ultimately, the decision is yours (pats Anitas cheek) beta, please give it a thought" saying this HeKo leave the room.
Anita, remained unmoved in her room, absorbing every word which Heko spoke to her. After awhile, her trance of thoughts was broken and she again spoke to herself "How I can get married to anyone else, apart from Ahem?? (pause) I know, Ahems mom very well, she wont spare me w/o getting married.. (sighs) I have to stop this marriage scenario by hook or crook.. but how?? (pause) hetal aunty said that the final decision will be mine, but Ahems mom will definately pressurise me to get married.. Oh God!! please bail out of this.. i cant stand anyone apart from Ahem to be my betterhalf.. we're just perfect for each other.. Il have to do something about it.. and that too very soon." "Anita" Rashi called her out, interrupting her thoughts and walked in "Anita, you look stressed?? what happened??" Rashi enquires "No.. Nothing.. (sighs) what are you doing here??" "wohh, the evening snacks are ready, come down for tea" Anita nodded her head and left the room, onm the other hand, Rashi realsied that something was fishy, with these thoughts Rashi too comes down.
Reading Anita's expression Rashi said "you know Anita, since the time Gopi had met with the accident (pause) jeeju calls her up to keep a check on her 3times i a day.. one, when he reaches office.. second, post lunh and thrid, before leaving from the office" "how do you know it Rashi??(pause) i dont think so, you're working with any telephone company to know the deatils" Anita said annoyingly "i know that am not working with any telephonic company (pause) and i know it, because initially Gopi didnt have a cell phone, it was recently jeeju gifted her the cell phone and anyways I and Gopi are sisters and she doesnt hide anything for me" and smiles half heartedly to Anita and so does Anita.
It was nearing to 6pm and Ahem would be arriving any moment, with this thought Anita kept glancing at the wall clock, imaptiently because she didnt wanted to miss any oppourtunity of spending time with Ahem. GoShi noticed the impatiency of Anita and realsied what was running in her mind, Rashi signalled Gopi to relax as she was all set to backfire Anita's plan once again. Rashi almost yelled "Oh my God" "what is it Rashi?? why are you yelling like this??" asked Anita irritatingly, Rashi makes a face at her and said "wohh.. actually, kakiji had asked to get the clothes from the terrace and i forgot (pause) Gopi, please peel off the cucumber after you get done with the dough, till then il go an dget the clothes or else kakiji will screw me up" gopi, smiles and nods a yes. "Anita, comw with me and help me" Rashi said, to which Anita protested. But, Rashi kept on insisting and she even signalled Gopi to say something "Anitaben... clothes are too many, if Rashiben goes alone she'l consume alot of time and kakiji will get upset (pause) if you'l go and help her, things will get sorted soon and even you'l get a change.. you must have been bored the whole day sitting in the house", hearing Gopi say this Rashi smirked and continued "Anita, Gopi is very right (pause) and if she wasnt doing the dough i would have taken her along with me" "Rashi, you go.. am not well" Anita protested "Anitaben, then you go to the terrace, you'l have fresh air to breath and you'l feel better" Gopi said and Rashi almost felt like hugging Gopi, before Anita could protest any further, Rashi pulled her out of the chair and took Anita with her to the terrace and Gopi breathed a sigh of relief.
The door bell rang and Gopi opened the door to welcome her Ahemji, after so many days. GoHem stood their lost in each others eyes, reading the happiness which their eyes spoke, because of shyness Gopi looked away and broke the trance and Ahem walked in the house, "Ahemjii.. you go and freshen up (pause) till then il get your green tea" Gopi said lovingly and for Ahem it was nothing les then music to his ears, he nodded a yes and went to their room. On reaching his room, seeing his clothes laid down on the bed he thought am lucky to have you, Gopi.. i dont know what i would have done without you.. he took his clothes and went to the restroom. meanwhile, Gopi came to their room with his green tea, as he wasnt there so Gopi waited for him to return and within few seconds, Ahem was came out of the restroom, hearing the restroom door open, Gopi approached him with the cup of his green tea. Seeing Gopi, Ahem started to giggle a little, she was confused and asked "Ahemjii... what happened?? why are you" before, she could say anything further, Ahem silenced her by placing his finger on her lips and holding her hand, they walked towards the mirror and says "look at yourself (points to the mirror)". Gopi gets more confused and sees her image in the mirror and is surprised to see flour on her nose, she immediately lifts her hand to wipe off the flour, but Ahem holdsher hand and says "waits" and he lovingly caressing her nose, wipes off the flour from her nose, but w/o breaking the eye contact with Gopi, with this gesture Gopi blushes and smiles, with this GoHem were lost in their own world. GoHem were enjoying the proximity bewteen them, Ahem was enjoying the care and pamper which his wife showered on him and Gopi was more then happy to shower her care and pamper Ahemji, their trance was broken when meethi called Gopi, as she was needed in the kitchen. Ahem reluctantly left Gopi's hand and allowed her to go down.
Thanks in advance.
