The Shell of love SS Last part pg37 - Page 14

I was waiting for Danny-Kumari as Krishna-Meera.But it got spoiled and Saras-Kusum became Krishna-Meera.So I am presenting Danny-Kumari as Krishna-Meera.And I know that thoe who watched Saras-Meera as Krishna Meera wished that Kumud was Meera.I dedicate this chapter to them.

I know that when Kusum fell for Saras some of you wanted her to get slapped by Kumud.I dedicate this part to them also.But you all will pity Kusum here.

The next morning...
Dugbha:We have kept a puja as all the newly married couples need God's blessings.
Everyone smiled.
Saras:That is really good.God only united us.We have to pay our homage to God.
Vidhyahathur:We are thinking of bringing drama artists to do a devotional skit.
Kumud:Why should we bring drama artists from outside babu?There are actors here.Our Yash is a good actor.
Yash smiled.
V:What Kumud said is right.
Guniyal:But what drama should we conduct?
Danny:Can I express our desire?
V:Ya beta.Tell.
D:Once I and Kumari had started rehearsing as Krishna-Meera for the skit.But when Pramad told me that my mother was a dancer I lost my mood and because of that, that skit with me and Kumari did'nt happen.

Laxminandan became dull.
Dugbha:Now why are you thinking of such things Danny?


D:But I wish I had'nt behaved like that.If so I and Kumari could have done the skit together.
Dugbha:What are you planning to say Danny?
D:Can we do Krishna-Meera's skit again?Me as Krishna and Kumari as Meera.Since we had rehearsed a lot we don't need to practise it again.
Everyone smiled.
V:Such a small thing?You people can do the same skit.
Danny-Kumari became really happy.
Kuma:Danny...I can't wait to do it.
Danny smiled.
Kusum:Sunny...I had rehearsed as the cruel brother-in-law of Meera;Vikramaditya.But then Danny-Kumari backed out and I ended up playing Meera while Chandrika chachi did my real role.
Sunny:Wow!Cool.Can't wait to see the skit.
Yash:Then I will play Meera's husband Bhoj Raj.
Evetyone smiled.
Sunny:Kusum...you all should rock this time.
Kusum shook Sunny's hand:Thank you Sunny.We will rock.
Kumari:Yes...we will.

Kumari:Danny...since we remember the dialogues we don't need to rehearse again.Right Danny?
Danny became dull.


D:The problem is that though I said that I remember everything the fact is that I don't remember all the dialogues.
Kuma:What?
Kumari gave him a kick on his head.
D:Oh!Cool down Kumari.Just one rehearsal.Please Kumari...
Kuma:Just one?
D:Just one.I promise.
Kuma:Ok.
Danny was relieved.Kumari pushed him to their room:Come...we will rehearse.

Puja took place very well.
After that the skit started where Danny-Kumari played Krishna-Meera while others like Kusum played Vikramaditya,Yash played Bhoj Raj and Kalika played Meera's evil sister-in-law, Uda bai.



Everyone clapped their hands happily.
But then they were surprised to see Saras coming as Krishna holding Kumud's hands.
Vidhyachathur:I just can't understand why Saras is dressed as Krishna.
Laxminandan:Saras..Kumud...?
S:When I did the skit as Krishna I wished Kumud was Meera.
K:When I saw Saras as Krishna that day I wished I were Meera.
S:So we decided to do a two person skit.I will play Krishna.
K:But I will be Radha instead of Meera.
S:We are doing Radha Krishna's story as we relate to them more.
Everyone smiled.
Saras Kumud did the skit of Krishna Radha.They lived as Krishna Radha.





Kusum's eyes were full of tears.Guniyal noticed it.

After the show got over everyone became busy.
Kusum went to the kitchen to drink water.
Guniyal:Kusum,while Saras-Kumud's skit was going on you were almost in tears.
Kus:Not only me Maa.Everyone became emotional.Saras Jeeju and Kumud didi were living as Radha Krishna.I felt that Saras jeeju and Kumud didi were actually Krishna and Radha in their previous birth.In the previous life they could'nt unite.So God united them in this life.Maa...I was reminded of the sin I was doing.I fell in love with my didi's soul mate.I was not able to think anyone else in my life.Still i decided to get married only for Kumud di.
Kumud who passed that way was shocked to hear what Kusum said.She felt that she would break diwn soon.

She moved away.

Kusum:But things changed unexpectedly and also for everyone's good.Real love entered my life in the form of Sunny and pevented me from doing that sin.Otherwise sometimes Kumud di and Saras jeeju would not have been united now.I felt like breaking down thinking of my sin Maa.
Guniyal wiped her tears:Kusum,don't cry.It's a closed chapter.Now you and Kumud are happy in your own life.

They both came out of the kitchen.They saw Kumud holding the wall from behind.
Guniyal:Kumud!
Kumud looked at them.
Gun:Why are you standing here?You want something from the kitchen?
K:I wanted water.
Gun:Then you should have come to the kitchen.Why did you stand here?
K:I had come to the kitchen.But then...
Suddenly Guniyal-Kusum became dull.
Kusum murmered:Did Kumud di hear our conversation Maa?
Guniyal's lips shivered:What Kumud?Why did you stop there?
K:I felt I should not spoil yoir privacy.So I stepped back.
Gun:What private matter between me and Kusum?We all share our worries and happiness together.Right?
K:Earlier it used to be like that.But Kusum broke it.That's why Kusum hid her biggest pain from me.The terrible secret of her life.
They got tense.
Kus:Kumud di...what are you saying?
K:I heard everything Kusum.


They were shocked.
K:You love Saras?
Kumud shouted at Kusum:Tell me Kusum...
All the family members except Saras,Laxminandan and Sunny came hearing Kumud's loud voice.They had left immediately after the skits.They were busy with the construction work of the school in Saras' mother's name.
Vidhyachathur:Kumud beta,why are you shouting?What happened?
Kumari:What is all this Kusum?


K:Please...no one please don't interfere.It's between me and Kusum.
Kusum's tears rolled down her cheeks:Didi...it's not as you think.You have not heard the full truth.
K:The truth is that Kusum loved Saras.She agreed to get married only for me.
Everyone was shocked.
K:This is the truth Kusum?
Kusum burst into tears.
K:I trusted you more than everyone.But you fooled me Kusum.I never expected this from you.
Kusum cried:Didi...no...
Guniyal burst into tears.
She thought:The moment I was scared of has arrived unexpectedly.I never thought this would happen when everything fell at place.
Kumud went near Kusum and slapped her.
All were shocked.
Vidhyachathur could not believe it.
V:Kusum beta...is this true?
Dugbha:Was your and Sunny's happiness a drama?
Kusum kept on crying.
Kus:I...
V:How could you do love your own sister's man?
Kus:I did a sin.But I did'nt do it purposefully.I don't know when my respect for Saras turned out to be love.
Vidhya was so shattered that he could'nt utter a word.He fell down crying.Kusum ran towards him:Baapu...
V:Don't touch me.
Kusum was shattered.
Dugbha:You don't deserve to touch your father Kusum.
Kusum ran away crying.
Guniyal sat near Vidhya.
Gun:You please listen to what Kusum has to say.
V:Now what is left to listen?
Gun:There is a lot which you all need to hear.
Giniyal turned back to see Kumud.But Kumud had already gone to her bedroom.
She rang up Saras:Saras,come soon.Now itself.
S:Kumud,why are you panting?What happened?
K:It's very important.You please come back soon.
S:I am coming now.
He rushed home.He saw Danny and Kalika at the verandah.
S:Danny,is everything alright.
D:No bhaiyya.Everything has turned upside down..
S:Means?
Kalika:A real storm has arrived Sarasji.Only you can solve it.
S:Means?


They did'nt say anything.Saras heard Kumud calling him from the compound.
He ran to the compound to reach Kumud.
He held her hand:Kumud!
K:Saras!


S:Kumud,are you alright?What happened?Tell me Kumud.
Kumud kept panting.Her tears fell down like pearls.

K:Saras...Saras...Sunny and Kusum are fooling us with their fake happiness.Kusum does'nt love Sunny.
S:What?
K:She loves someone else.
Saras was shocked:Whom does she love?
Kumud cried:She loves you Saras.
Saras was shocked.
S:What nonsense are you saying Kumud?
K:I am telling the truth Saras.
She fell on his chest.He held her close tightly.
