'Oh ho...' she said with her teeth clenched. Her face was covered with mud and her dress was completely spotted with it. 

She quickly started to take the mud off of her face and started to brush her dress with her hand, but it was no use. The wet mud did not budge. She looked around to find a well so as to clean up but then she remembered tayiji's call.

'ghar ja ker hi apnay aap ko saaf kerlungi' she said to herself.
'Lagtha hai aaj keechad main girnay ka din hai. Pehlay voh sahab giray thay aur abh main. Agar jetsar main pakki galiyan hothi tho acha hoga' She thought to herself


At the Haveli

'Tho behenji ye mera parivar hai. Ye hai shiv ki Ma irawati, Shiv kay pita Alok aur Shiv ki choti ma , yani kay uski chachi Meenakshi' said Daddu introducing the Shekar family to the Singhs


'Ghanni kamma, swagat hai aapka' said Dadisa
'padharo' she gestured to them to follow her towards the Sofa

'Maaf kijiyega , aapko ithni raat gaye humnay takleef di'said Irawati
'are nahi nahi ismay takleef ki kya baat hai' interupted Bhairon immediately

'ji main Bhairav hun Anandi ka Bapusa, aur ye meray baday bhaisa Basant aur unki patni Gehna. Aur aap humari masa say tho mil hi chukay hain' he said indicating towards his family members


'Ji ' main tho inhay pehlay hi keh raha tha ki , koi problem nahi hogi. Waise humaray honay walay samdhiyon ka ghar hai, tho hum tho aa hi sakthay hai na , jab man chahe' added dadaji laughing


'ji ji..'smiled Dadisa confused not know how to react and what to expect. She looked towards Gehna asking if Anandi had arrived. Gehna gestured a no, which made her even more worried


'Tho baat ye hai , ki hum tho humari honay wali bahu, yani kay Anandi sey milnay aaye hain. waise main tho kal anay ke liye tayyar tha , ye... ' said Daddu and he pointed towards shiv
'ye jo mera potha hai, voh utavla ho raha tha, ki abhi chaliye daddu' laughed Daddu


'Daddu aap...'started shiv shocked 

Bhairav smiled at shiv as he knew that it probably was not his idea to come that late in the night but he felt relieved that his family were eager to meet his daughter.

'Meri tho roz mulaqat hothi hai Anandi ji sey office per. Mujhe nahi aapko jaldi thi daddu' he said pointedly, then suddenly realizing that he was letting his guard down in front of the singhs who had always taken him to be a serious kind of man. 

Irawati laughed out loud

'ye humaray papaji , jo humari family kay lifeline hai , unko mazak kerna bohot acha lagtha hai. Vaise sach ye hai ki hum kudh bohot uthawalay ho rahe thay Anandi sey milnay ke liye. Jab sey shiv nay uska zikr kiya hai, hum tho rukh hi nahi paaye thay. Hai na Alok' she said and then asking for confirmation from the rest of her family members.

'JI bilkul. Waise shekar parivar ki ye hi khaas baat hai ki, hum jab ek mission kay baray main soch lethay hain usko foran execute kerthay hain. 

Shiv smiled at his family's antics. He did not know what to say so he decided to remain silent and let them carry out the 'mission' on their own shoulders. 

Irawati who was sitting with Dadisa and Meenakshi noticed that meenakshi was still not in her form. The revelation about Anandi's past had truly disturbed her. Though she had managed to hide her worry behind her kind smile and soft facial features, it was clearly evident from her brooding silence that things were not quite right inside her mind. 

Irawati slowly patted her hand and looked into her eyes, assuring her that things will get better.


'Tho abhi hum point per aathay hain, baat ye hai ki humaay ghuma fira ker baat kernay ki adat nahi hai, akhir Army walay hain tho jo bhi baat ho voh hum point to point kerthay hain. Is tarah ki discipline lanay ke liye kafi saal lag jathay hain. Mujeh yaad hai , humaray battalion main Amar sharma naam ka ek jawan hotha tha. voh jab naya naya aya tha , tho ithni batay kertha tha, ithni batay kertha tha ki.. hum sabh nay uska na Amar sharma sey Amar batuni rakh diya hai' said Dadaji smiling at the thought of his Amry friend Amar Sharma. 

He then looked at his family and noticed the very similar expression that they often showed when he went into one of his story routines

'ok , samaj gaya. ' said dadaji hesitatingly
'baat ye hai ki mera potha , yani kay shiv, aapki beti , yani kay Anandi sey shadi kerna chahtha hai' said dadaji smiling

Dadisa listening to those very words, she could not control her gratitude. She immediately gestured her thanks 

'ye tho humaray saubhagya ki baat hai ki Shiv jaisa ladka humari beti ko apna jevan sathi bana-na chahtha hai' said BHairav , who was filled with gratitude. 

'Lekin issey pehlay baat agaay aur baday, main Anandi kay baray main kuch batana chahtha hun. Mujhe yaqeen hai ki shiv nay aapko bata diya hoga lekin ek pita honay nay nathay mera ye farz bantha hai ki main bhi is baat ko samnay le ker aaun' said Bhairav seriously

There was silence in the room.

'meri zindagi ki sabsey badi galthi maine ki jab maine apnay betay ka balvivah kiya tha Anandi kay saath. Voh 8 saal ki thi tabh. Anandi nay apni taraf sey puri imandari kay saath ye rishtha nibhaya hai, lekin mujhe is baat ko kehthay hue sharam athi hai ki , maine aise santhan ko janm diya, jo apni swarth ke liye Anandi jaise heeray ko tukhra ker chala gaya. Usnay apni duniya ujwal kernay ke liye, is bachi kay zindagi main andhera ker diya. 

lekin meri Anandi us andheray sey ghabrayi nahi , na hi toot gayi.. balkay usnay humko, jo uskay guneghar hai , unko sambhala. Kudh bhi khadi hui aur humaay bhi sahara diya. Aaj voh jo kuch bhi hai uski voh kudh hi zimmedar hai. Apnay mehnat aur drid sankalp sey usnay ye maqam haasil kiya hai.


Mujhe pata hai ki aap, jo humaray ghar thak aaye hain, aapnay zaroor uskay atheeth ko nazar andaz kerkay aapkay ghar sey humaray ghar ka faasla tay kiya hai lekin fir bhi main aap sey umeed kertha hun, ki aap us bachi kay atheeth ke liye usko zimmedar nahi tehrayengay' Said bhairav tearfully 

'Chora sahih kevay hai. Jagdesh... jo mahro potha hai, usko humnay bohot laad pyar sey bada kiyo. Uski har zid puri kiyo. Lekin us choray nay apnay ma bapu ka, apni dadisa ka , apni beendani ka, unkay sapnon ka koi maan nahi kiyo. 

Anandi ' bohot hi jimmedar chori hai. Usnay us rishtay ko nibhanay ki bohot koshish ki , aur apni taraf sey koi kasar nahi chodi..lekin.. ' said Dadisa sadly 

'jis ladki kay baray main uskay sasur, uski dadisas aur saray parivar walay , ithna acha kahain, voh galat ho, ye ho hi nahi saktha ' said Irawati immediately

'aap bilkul nishchint ho jayiye. Anandi kay baray main jab shiv nay bataya tha, mujhe bohot hairani hui thi lekin jab main apni aankhon sey kudh dekh rahi hun tho, mera yaqeen aur mazboot ho gaya hai' continued Irawati

She then looked at Meenakshi, who seemed to have relaxed a bit more than before. It seemed that the words Anandi's inlaws had made some effect on her. 

'Lekin Anandi kahan hain. abh tho aankhay taras gayi hai' said Irawati with an urge in her voice


Dadisa looked at Gehna worriedly , wondering when she would show up. 

Just then

Anandi arrived into the haveli , completely drenched with wet-mud that had dried in some places. Her face was covered with mud traces. She had managed to brush some of it but still very evidently etched on her face.

Dadisa looked at the entrance and she saw Anandi enter. Her smile that had appeared at her arrival faded the very instance and had replaced with that of shock.


'Chori...' she said worriedly wondering if she had gotten hurt. She got up immediately and rushed towards her

'Anandi.. ' said BHairav, basant and Gehna simultaneously who also had rushed towards her and now had surrounded her

'Ye ke hua tharay ko!? asked Dadisa worriedly 

Shiv's family who was dumbstruck at their reactions looked towards the entrance to get a glimpse of their future daughter in law but, unfortunately for them, she was obscured by the army of Singhs that had surrounded her. 

'Anandi thu teekh tho hai na' asked Bhairav with concern

'Anandi kya hua. kisi nay kuch kiya tho nahi. Are gehna zara phone tho laga laal singh ko aur bolo ki ghar aa jaye' Said basant angrily 

'Anandi chot tho nahi lagi thumnay' asked Genha 

'Are gehna, thu yahan ke ker rahi hai. Jaldi ja aur haldi wala doodh bana ker le aa' commanded Dadisa

'Are...aap...bapusa ' dadisa kuch bhi.. are tausa.. suniye tho...
nahi...tayiji rehnay diji..ye... ' came broken voices of Anandi in between

Shiv who was now fully concerned rushed towards the scene yet he was completely hidden behind Basant so Anandi did not notice him right away

'Dadi SA' said Anandi loudly

'mujeh KUCH nahi hua hai. Main keechad main gir gayi thi Bas' said Anandi smiling at their reactions

'Thu sach keh rahi hai na chori. Dekh, agar chot lagi hai tho bata day' said dadisa concerned


' Han dadisa.. kuch nahi hua. Bas tayiji ka phone aaya tha. laga ki koi zaroori baat hai, tho main jaldi anay kay chakkar main, keechad main pisal gayi' said Anandi

'waise baat kya hai dadisa. aapnay mujhe bula liya, voh bhi ye kehkay ki jaldi aao. sabh teekh tho hai na? ' asked Anandi with concern

It was then that the entire singh parivar realised that , the shekars were with them in their house and the purpose behind their visit was starting to dawn upon them, once again.

'Kya hua..' said Anandi , who now looked worried. She was surrounded by the Singhs so the haveli's living room was obscured from her sight.
Then slowly, Dadisa , basant and bhairav stepped aside to give her a clear view of the people that had come into their homes.


Anandi saw two women and two men sitting on the sofa. Her eyebrows contracted.

'aap?' she asked Dadisa and then suddenly her eyes fell upon the man behind basant


Anandi suddenly became very aware of her presence. Shiv was standing in front of her now, worry clearly etched on his face.


'Anandi ji aap teekh tho hai na' asked Shiv

Anandi looked at him and nodded.
'collector sahab aap? aur is waqt. Sabh teekh tho hai na' she asked with worry. Perhaps it was something to do with the village that he had to see her at this time. 

Shiv did not know how to respond. He did not want to face Anandi's anger so he quietly went towards his family and sat down besides his grand father. 

Anandi and the Singhs came towards the main hall and her eyes scanned every member. She greeted them but her expressions remained confused. 

'Anandi thum jaao aur muh hath dho lo..' said Dadisa gesturing Gehna to take Anandi upstairs and prepare her for the meeting. 

Soon the singhs resumed their seating.

Irawati smiled at them. In her heart there was a sudden surge of satisfaction. The way that the singhs had erupted and behaved when they had assumed that Anandi was hurt, confirmed her thought that the family really adored Anandi. 

'Kuch nahi hua hai Anandi ko. Ithna pareshan kiyun ho rahe ho' teased Dadaji who was observing Shiv. He noticed that shiv's eyes were flickering towards the stairs more often. The entire family noticed the sudden change in Shiv's behavior. Anandi's presence certainly affected Shiv a lot.


'Shiv, voh athi hi hogi' teased his father
'aap sabh meray shiv ko ithna tang math kiya kijiye' said Choti ma. It was the first time she had spoken. Irawati looked at her and began to relax that finally meenakshi was loosening up.


Dadisa offered them some sweets and passed it around them when they saw Gehna brining Anandi down the stairs. 

As Anandi had gone to clean herself , Gehna had filled her up with the details as to who the guests were. Listening to her, Anandi became quite shocked. She did not know how to react but she decided not to say a word. After all it was her decision to request Shiv to marry her and it was awfully nice of him to ask his family to come right away. He did what she had wanted. That is to not delay in fulfilling the promise she had made to her dead mother. 

Irawati looked up simultaneously with Meenakshi and Dadaji. As Anandi entered into their presence they noticed how beautiful she was

Anandi looked up at them and then her eyes fell upon the man who was sitting besides an elderly man. She recognized him immediately


'are thum' said the man
Anandi did not say anything but looked at him questioningly. She had deduced that he was related to Shiv but how, she could not fathom

'kya hua colonel sahab. aap ithna chunk kiyun gaye hain' asked Irawati

'Lagtha hai aaj keechad main girnay ka din hai' laughed Alok. 

'pehlay main gira tha aur abh thum'


' Are maine bataya tha na ki main keechad main gir gaya tha... aur wahan per ek ladki nay meri madad ki thi, yahi tho hai' said Alok reminiscing the moment

'Anandi ye Alok hai, Shiv kay pitaji' said Bhairav 

Anandi remained speechless. How coincidental it was that , bhairav met her the very same way'
She greeted him and turned towards the other members. She avoided shiv's gaze in the process.


'Tho , is meeting ka ye nateeja nikaltha hai ki, humay aapki beti bohot pasand aayi hai' said Dadaji immediately 

'kiyun irawati?' he asked Shiv's mother

'han mujhe bhi, aur thumhara kya rai hai meenakshi?' she asked Shiv's choti ma tentatively


Meenakshi nodded with a smile. 

'colonel sahab ko tho pehlay sey hi bha gayi hai Anandi. Waise its not fair ki aap pehlay milay hain aur hum sabh baad main' complained Irawati

'bhai, ye ho tho faida hai meray video recording skills ka aur aap sabh hai ki mazak uda rahe thay mera' said Alok

'Abhay thum chup hi karo tho teekh rahega.. agar thumhara video pehlay kaam ker jatha tho hum Anandi ko pehlay hi dekh lethay lekin voh bhi thumhari tarah dheela hi hai. Koi kaam ka nahi' Retorted Daddu

Shiv who was getting impatient, silently nudged his grandfather

'acha teekh hai teekh hai, jaldi kiyun kertha hai. THo teekh hai bahu, Majority opinion ye hai ki aaj hi sagai ka rasm bhi pura ker dain' said Dadaji

'Sagai?' asked Dadisa 

'lekin...' added bhairav who looked at basant and gehna , who were equally shocked.

'nothing doing. Hum aaj kay aaj hi sagai kerna chahthay hain. Bahu, Kangan aur haar jo thum thumhari bahu ke liye le ker aayi ho , voh pehnao' commanded Dadaji to Meenakshi

Irawati immediately gave the jewelry to Meenakshi, who went ahead and put them on Anandi.


'ek min ek min... main video lunga' jumped Alok

'Are koi faida nahi hai... kaam tho kernay wala nahi , tho time kiyun waste kerthay ho' added Daddu

Alok ignored his father's remark and rushed to take the video of Meenakshi putting jewelry on Anandi. Anandi immediately took her blessings from everyone. Irawati hugged her and made her sit besides her. 

Shiv who was looking at everyone but Anandi now threw furtive glances at her.
'oye , besharam ye kya ker raha hai thu. Sabkay saamnay' teased daddu 

'daddu aap bhi na' he whispered back

Dadisa and the singh family completed their part of the rituals and the ceremony was complete.


'tho bhai Anandi abh humari hui' declared Daddu


Anandi finally looked at shiv. It was a face filled with gratitude. She was closer to fulfilling her mother's wishes than ever before. 

Looking at Anandi, shiv realized that it was not love that etched on her face but gratitude. This made him feel a bit uneasy. He wanted to get married to Anandi more than anything, but he also knew the real reason behind the marriage. 

He looked around his family and saw every member elated and happy. Can he maintain their happiness? Will Anandi accept him as her husband? Will she be able to come above her pains and look towards the bright future that he had so beautifully planned for both of them?

Questions erupted in his mind. 

Anandi continued to look at him and realized that she was staring. She immediately looked down and heard a surge of laughter

' are bhai aap logon ko akele main baat kerni hai tho kariye na. Humay tho koi ayetraz nahi hai' said Irawati

Anandi turned slightly pink

'ai...aise koi ba.at nahi hai' stuttered shiv, which made the other memebrs laugh only louder.

'Roz tho baat kerthay hi ho, abh kaisa sharmana. acha jao hum kuch nahi kehthay' added Alok

Dadisa asked Anandi to go with Shiv. She knew that now that the ceremony had been finalized Anandi will do everything to keep up the relationship.


Shiv and Anandi reached the front yard. There was an awkward silence between them

'ji..
'ji..
said both shiv and Anandi at the same time
'Pehlay aap kahiye' said Shiv

'main aapka shukriya ada kerna chahthi hun.' started Anandi
Shiv turned around to interrupt
'Collector sahab, aapnay mujh per bohot bada ehsaan kiya hai aaj. Main is ehsaan ko zindagi bhar nahi bhulungi' she said

Shiv immediately felt very sad.
'maine aap per ehsaan nahi kiya hai Anandi ji. Main kudh chahtha hun ki aap meri zindagi sey juday. aap please isey ehsaan ka naam math dain' said Shiv

Anandi looked at him confused.

'aapki kushi main hi meri kushi hai' He continued

'Shayad main aapkay layak nahi hun, lekin aapsey main ye wada kerthi hun ki apni taraf sey puri koshih karungi ki aapko mujhsey ya aapkay parivar walay unko mujhsey koi shikayat na ho' added Anandi

Shiv remained silent. He understood that Anandi needed time. So he silently nodded and gestured towards her that they should head back inside.

As Anandi turned and headed towards the entrance he made a promise to himself

Anandi , thumhay is dard sey main bahar leker aaunga. Thumharay saray dukhon ko main kushiyon sey bhar dunga. Un yadon ko Ithna door lejaunga ki koi bhi buri yaad thumharay aas paas nahi mandarayegi. Ye main apnay aap sey wada kertha hun.

They both entered into the haveli
