Chapter 4
He was put into a very difficult situation. The letter he was supposed to deliver was lying inside his fav black leather jacket. He had come here with one simple task of giving that letter and leaving but it now seemed impossible. Mrs. Chaturvedi had passed away a week ago. He did not know wat to do now or wat to say to the grieving family.
The room he was sitting in was small and old and the stuff in it was very cheap. He now realised that this was y Maa always used to say that Thapki does not belong in PN. Maa was a classy woman who believed in high class stuff. She had not learn to compromise even on small things and this was abt the bahu of her house. Even a small decoration piece in PN was worth Thousands. His thoughts were put to break when the old lady came in the room with a young girl who was dressed in simple clothes. She looked as if she was still crying. The old lady introduced her as Thapki.
Bihaan looked at her face for a second only and then lowered his gaze. He was trying to decide if he should give the letter to her or not. Thapki sat on the small bed. The old lady sat beside her. Bihaan was sitting in a small but very uncomfortable chair (at least to him it seemed very uncomfortable at that moment) lying opposite to the bed.
The old lady started talking. A talk that changed Bihaan's life for ever.
Old Lady: "Poonam was my cousin sister and I am Thapki's bua. Thapki has no one left in her life but me. Her mother Poonam was a cancer patient and her last days were very miserable. Her only worry was Thapki. She wanted her married in her life. That is y she..."
The old lady stopped talking as she heard Thapki's cries. She hugged and asked her not to cry. Bihaan was feeling very uneasy. He wanted to get and run away from this place. This whole scene was very depressing.
Old Lady again began.
Old lady: "I am Thapki's only family and Poonam has told me abt u. She knew u will come to fulfil Balvinder's promise. Balvinder is a man of his words. He sent u and that too when we needed u the most"
Bihaan did not understand wat this lady was saying. Wat has Poonam Aunty told her abt him. He did not say a word but tried to figure out the situation.
Old Lady: "Now u must do the needful and take Thapki with u"
The knock at the cabin door brought Bihaan back in the present. He looked at the door. The peon told him that the office is abt to get closed. Bihaan looked at the Wall clock. It was 10 pm. He quickly shut his computer and left for the home.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Thapki was sitting in Thahaan's room with her bag of clothes on her bed. Suman Bhabhi was sitting next to her. The bag had very few clothes and that too very old and shabby.
Suman Bhabhi: "Thapki u must buy new clothes. I will go to the market with u and we will do some shopping"
Thapki: "But Suman Bhabhi I do not have any money on me"
Suman Bhabhi: "Don't worry abt money. Babu Ji has given me cash and instructed me to buy u anything u require. He told me to go and shop with u. Tomorrow u get ready after 11 am and we will do the shopping"
Thapki (happily): "Seriously Bhabhi Ji??? We will go to the market???"
Suman Bhabhi: "Yes but y r u so amazed?"
Thapki: "Because I have hardly ever visited any market. My Maa never took me out but very often. Also our village did not have proper market but few shops. We did not have much money. My Bau Ji died when I was very young. Maa struggled so much to raise me up"
Recalling her parents made her teary eyed. Suman Bhabhi side hugged her and changed the topic.
Suman Bhabhi: "Ok now lets talk abt y we came here. So as u said Bihaan devar Ji did not come to the room last night but tonight he will. U r his wife and u shd be dressed accordingly. The dresses u have r of no good. I must give u a sari of mine as married women do look good in saris. And do not worry it is a brand new sari. And where is ur Mangalsutar?"
Thapki: "I do not have one"
Suman Bhabhi (shockingly): "Wat?"
Thapki: "Yes I do not have one. Bihaan did not tell u abt our marriage? We just had a court marriage and he never tied a mangalsutar to my neck"
Suman Bhabhi also noticed her hair line which was missing vermilion. She did not say more. She left the room telling Thapki she will bring her the sari. After few minutes, she brought a beautiful pink sari for Thapki.
Suman Bhabhi: "Sorry Thapki but I do not have a new sari in red so I brought this light pink simple chiffon one. It will suit u a lot. Now go get ready"
Suman Bhabhi left the room and Thapki went into the washroom to take shower and get ready.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
On his way back to home, Bihaan was continuously thinking abt how he had to marry Thapki to fulfill Bau Ji's promise to Thapki's Mom. How he had a court marriage with Thapki and how he brought her into PN. It happened so suddenly that he did not get time to think it through. He reached home and saw Shradha's car in the drive way of PN. He wondered wat she was doing in PN in Dhruv's absence. He took off his helmet and walked in.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Thapki got ready in Suman Bhabhi's pink sari and looked herself into the mirror. It was the first time that she was wearing a sari. She was looking good. Suman Bahbhi had helped her in draping this sari so perfectly. She even gave her bindi which was looking so gud on her forehead. Her long hair were sitting straight on her back. Her Pink lips had this very light pink lipstick making her full lips even more full. She was feeling very shy. She looked at herself once again and finally tied her hair. She made a simple knot. She was not wearing much in the name of jewellery. All she had was a diamond nose pin. It was the only expensive item she had owned in her life. She searched for a perfume bottle in the stuff that Suman Bhabhi has given her but did not find one. She decided to go to her room to ask for one. She stepped out of her room to go to Suman Bhabhi's room when she saw a very stylish girl dressed in very stylish and expensive clothes climbing up the stairs. They had an eye lock and Thapki stopped. The girl walked up to her and looked at her.
Stylish Girl: "Are u Thapki?"
Thapki just nodded her head confusingly.
Stylish Girl: "Oh so u r Thapki. Interesting"
