Here comes a light one...
1.Mila(Part II)
Shrutkirti watched her sister from a distance apart.She stood frozen at the door's stepway and as expected she was totally confused with the scenario present before her eyes.
"Ye Urmi Didi is prakar mand-mand kyu muskura rahii haiin,itna prasann toh unhe kabhi nahi dekha??"a worried shrutkirti exclaimed.
"Ho sakta hai sita didi ke vivaah hetu...kintu yeh bhi toh dukh ka vishay hai,veh Hume chhod kar jaa rahii gain!!"Shrutkirti choked on the last line.
She looked down,thought for a while and whispered 'Sita Didi'.Tears filled up her eyes on her mention,the fact that she has adored her the most and that she would leave soon."Nahin shrutkirti,Siya DiDi ko unke naye jeevan kii shubhkamnaye Dene ka samay haii unhe bhavuk karne kaa nahii!"She smiled to herself and looked back to Urmila.Urmi was there,arguing with herself over lakshman.
"Hey mahadev,Urmi didi swayam se kaise vaartalaap kar rahi haii??"
She was saying all this in presence of daasis who were there at the doorsteps.
"Kahin vo aswasth toh nahiin,kaisi bawlion jaise pratikriyayein kar rahii hain!!?"
"Haan veh aswasth haii,mujhe shighra ati shighra badi maa ko suchit karnaa hoga...Urmi Didi ko mai kuchh nahi hone dungii!!"Worried,she quickly turned back to leave for Sunaina's room.
Mandvi came just before her,frightening her.
"Punah bhaybhiit ho gyii!!"teased mandvi,giggling at her little sister.
"Aur kya ho gyaa merii Rakshashi KO??"asked Mandvi raising her eyebrows.
"Didi,ye parihaas ki ghadii nahii hair,dwkhiye Urmi Di aswasth haiin"she told her.
"Aswasth??Dusron ko aswasth kar Dene wali khud aswasth!!Arthaaat??"
"Hey Gauri maa,Mandvi Dii,...vo Urmi didi baawli ho gyyii haii,satya kahaa Jaye toh.."Shrutkirti was on the verge of crying.
"Bawlii??vo toh voh purv se hi haii"Mandvi easily replied and began to calm down her sister.Mandvi was all enjoying.
"Are Didi aap samajh nahin rahin haii!"
"Kya??batao shrutkirti"
"Vo Urmi didi swayam se hi vaartalaap kar rahi hai!"The words escaped her mouth and Mandvi burst out laughing!
She held her stomach by her hands,it was too much,she could not control her laughter.Shrutkirti was all confused at her elder sister's approach to her dilemma.
"Bawlii hi haii vo...satya kaha tha...Rajkumar lakshman ne...!!"
She stopped in midway,realized something and shouted "Rajkumar Lakshman"
"Haan unka vahi naam hai didi,"claimed Kirti w/o getting any hint.
"Are Kirtiii,Raaajkumaar Lakshmaann"Mandvi stressed each syllable.She took her little sister's hand and began twirling.
"Didi,mujhe kuchh samajh nahii aaya!Mai Sita didi se hi puchh ke aati hun"
She protested.
"Arey ruk bawlii!"she patted lightly over her head."Thehro,mai batati hun...ummm...Sita Didi!haan kirti Sita Didi KO dekha haii...kaisi khoyii khoyii si rehti hai?"she asked raising her brows yet again.
"Puchho kyun?"
"Kyu?"Kirti obeyed.
"Arey kyunkii unkaa vivaah hone wala hai!"
She smiled.Kirti smiled at first and then frowned "Toh Didi?"
Mandvi facepalmed herself.Her dear sister has been the wisest accept in these matters. "Toh jaisi Siya Di ki avastha vaisi Urmi kii"Mandvi was all excited,again she looked deeply somewhere far and said in a sad tone "Aur mai Bach gayii!!"She made a pouting face.
"Kintu Didi,Urmi Di ka vivaah toh abhi nahi ho rahaa haii!!Ho raha hai kya?Aapne mujhe bataya nahin,aur lagta hai Rajkumar Lakshman ne aapko yeah bataya hai.Hmm...sahi kahaa na Maine Didi!"Shrutkirti finally smiled.
Mandvi wanted to jump from the balcony she was standing at.
"Murkh baalikey!chalo mere saath"She held Kirti's hand and led her to Urmi's chamber.
The both stopped and became silent as soon as they reached near Urmila.Urmila was with her paint brush and she had wrote 'Lakshman' over a piece of cloth.She wasn't aware of her cousin's presence.
Seeing the cloth,Shrutkirti finally understood what Mandvi has been trying to tell her.And Mandvi let out a sight of relief seeing her.
"Ohhh!Kirti badhai ho...humare mithila ki dono rajkumariyon ka vivah hoga ab"she spoke it to Urmila.Urmi gasped"Mandvi!Mera Vivah!asambhav"
Mandvi playfully snatched that cloth away from her."Achhhaaa"Both of her cousins teased her long.
"Maine kahaa naa kuchh nahi hai mere aur kumaar lakshman ke beeech"she explained.
Mandvi stopped ,then looked at Kirti and continued"Par Maine toh unka naam liyaa hi nahin!"Both of them laughed.
"Aapko kaise pata ki veh vahin hai Didi?"
"Arey aur koi ho bhi nahi sakta...dekha tha naa Kirti"
"Kya Didi?"she added
"Aaj Sita Didi ke liye haldi lene jab hum Gaye the toh ashram me kyaa kyaa ho rahaa tha??"Mandvi playfully hit Urmi,who was blushing,unable to hide anything from her sisters.
"Kya hua tha Didi?mujhe toh nahi kuchh dikha"Kirti was confused yet again
"Dekhogi bhi kaise tum toh kisi aur KO hi dekh rahi thi!!"Urmila spoke back at her turn.
Shrutkirti bit her tongue,she was embarrassed.
"Haan toh hua yun tha kii...haldi late samay,chhote dashrath nandan aur chhoti Janak putri takraa Gaye the,parinaam swaroop,haldii gir gyii thi dono ke upar...Aur Kumar ne kya kahaa "Ye kya hai 'Mila'???"..."
Urmi blushed heavily!'Mila'she said
"Vo Urmi Didi,maa kya kehti hai,yadi vivah utsav me kisi ke upar haldi gir jaaye,toh manyata hai ki shighra hi uska bhi vivaah ho jaata haii"Shrutkirti clapped her hands.
"Hmmm,toh satya hi toh kehti hai chhoti maa,bhul gyii Kirti...Aaj kisi ne kisi aur me upar bhi haldi aur gulaal giraa diya thaaa.Hmm??Haina Mandvi?"and the fiercy,extremely naughty Urmila was back.
Mandvi gasped.It was her turn now.
No one can beat Urmila in teasing and mischievousness.
THE END...
