On the wedding night(Another version of my own os A moment)
Saras and Kumud were engaged.Saras left to Dubai promising Kumud that he will come back to wed her.But he went to depression when he read the suicide note of his mother left by Guman to depress him.According to the note she committed suicide as her husband Laxminandan had an affair with Guman.This led to a fight between the father and the son and left his house.In that depressing moment he rang up and told Kumud that he cannot marry her.Kumud and her family were shattered.In that anger Kumud's father Vidhyachathur decided to get her married on the same day to Pramad.
Saras could'nt sleep as Kumud's sad face and teary eyes kept haunting him.Kumud's painful pleading voice pierced his heart.
"Saras…I can't live without you.Please don't take a hasty decision".
Saras remembered his mother Saraswathi's suicide when his father cheated on her.
He got up from his bed.He panted like hell.He kept sweating.
"How could I refuse to marry Kumud?How could I wound the heart of the woman who taught me to smile.Kumud is the one who coloured my dry life.Then how could I hurt her?In a way I was cheating her like my father who cheated my mother.Dumping Kumud just before the wedding day is not less than cheating.Even the Gods I worship daily won't forgive me for this sin".
He remembered his beautiful moments with Kumud.
"No…I want my Kumud.I can't live without her".
Sunny came hearing it.He smiled.
Sunny:Finally you took the right decision Saras.Your wedding with Kumud should not get cancelled because of your foolishness.It will break her completely and you will be also broken.You have to marry her on the same day Saras.
S:Yes Sunny.I did a big mistake.I have to apologize to her.
He dialed Kumud's number.But unfortunately her mobile was switched off as she stopped charging it.Because that mobile is nothing for her now as she believed that Saras won't call her again after the bitter split.
S:Sunny…I can't wait.I am leaving now itself.I need to reach her soon.
Sunny:Ok Saras.All the best.
While packing the bag he noticed the nuptial chain he bought to make Kumud his.With a smile he put it inside her pant's pocket.
Finally Saras reached India.
His face blossomed:I will reach my Kumud in a few minutes.She will be surprised to see me.I know that she will forgive me as she loves me that much.
He rushed to her.He reached the destination. His eyes fell on the decorated area.He was shocked to see the board there.
'Kumud weds Pramad'.
His heart sank in the fear of losing Kumud.
Inside Kumud was standing near Pramad like a motionless doll.
She looked gorgeous in the wedding attire with beautiful jewellery.But her face did'nt shine like a moon as the tears in her eyes snatched the beauty of her face.
Kumud took the garland to put it around Pramad's neck.She was reminded of how she accepted Saras as her husband by puting a flower garland around Saras' neck when he requested her father to hand over to him.She remembered that Saras had adorned her neck with a flower garland and made her his in every way.But now her neck is going to wear another person's garland..whose face she has not even seen.Though she had destroyed everything which brought her the memories of Saras the truth was that she had not hated him,still her soul and body belong to Saras.
Kumud closed her eyes in pain before putting the garland around Pramad's neck.Because it was hard for her to bear another man's face in Saras' place as bride groom.
Her hand shivered.Suddenly she heard a scream.
"Kumuddd".
She opened her eyes.She was shocked to see Saras rushing inside.
Saras panted seeing his Kumud near another man.
Saras and Kumud looked at each other painfully.
Their tears fell down.
Vidhyachathur,Kumud's mother Gun,Aunt Dugba,sister Kkusum,cousin sister Kumari did not know how to react in that shock.
Saras:I am back Kumud.I want you.I am sorry.Won't you forgive me by accepting me?
Kumud cried helplessly.She did'nt know what her father will feel if she breaks the wedding fixed by him.She looked at her father with her teary eyes.
Vidhyachathur knew what Kumud was undergoing that moment.He knew that Kumud's happiness lay in Saras.
Pramad's father patted his shoulder:Your daughter may not stop crying if I make my son marry her.I can't do that.I can't compromise on my ideals.Let her marry the person she loves.
Vidhyachathur folded his hands thankfully.
He wiped his wet eyes and looked at Kumud.
V:You go to Saras Kumud.
Kumud became very happy.But she was too emotional.
Saras extended his hands.Kumud ran into his arms.Everyone around them shed the tears of happiness.
Saras and Kumud looked at each other.A deep passionate eye lock..
Kuch na kahein, bas chup rahein Khamoshiyan hi keh jaaye Tham jaaye, yeh jahaan Aur pal bhi, theher jaaye Saras took the nuptial chain from his packet.Kumud smiled.
Saras and Kumud got married with all the ceremonies.
The end
