OS RAGHU IN BURKHA! HAILA!
Hi Guys! It's me again! Kya karein? Raghu's dialogue inspired me this time! On 19th September, Thursday the episode started with Raghu going to the dress waala dukaan with Antara and there he says a dialogue in hindi. I am not good at remembering hindi dialogues but dialogue meant that if he had known that this was the place Antara was coming to then he would have worn a burkha! And that did it! It made me imagine Raghu sneaking around in Burkha and this one shot came up! So go ahead, read it, enjoy it and leave a review!
Young girls danced around while the old ladies sat beside the would-be bride teasing her mercilessly. It was late evening and Maami roamed around the house serving the ladies with juice and snacks while Noor Aapa helped her out. Mrs. Geeta Kaul sat nearby with a smile of her face watching the young girls dance around while missing her husband badly. In midst all of them sat the would-be bride getting her hand covered with mehendi; the bride being none other than our dear, sweet Antara. The next day, Antara was to get married to the hero of her life and our story, Raghunath Naik. Today was her mehendi ceremony! In the early morning, there was the haldi ceremony after which she was banned from going out of the house. She blushed as another lady teased her about her husband. The mehendiwaali asked her how she should put the name of her husband and Antara shyly mumbled to her to put Raghu in the middle. Maami came and sat beside her and loudly spoke, "Arre! Naam aisi jagah daalo ki dulhe ko poori raat lag jaaye dhundne mein!" The ladies gathered around laughed while Antara turned red. Suddenly, a lady piped up, "Par Saroj? Agar poori raat naam dhundne mein hi lagaayega toh suhaag raat kab manaayega?" Again the ladies burst out laughing while Antara hid her face in Maami's shoulder in embarrassment.
As the ladies teased Antara and laughed around, at Naik Sadan, Raghu sat on the terrace missing his Antara. Today was his haldi ceremony after which he was banned from getting out of his house. While he did not mind getting haldi applied all over him as he had promised Antara that he would allow all the traditions and rituals to happen without any complaints from him, he was not happy with the fact that both of them were not allowed to get out of the house till the wedding. "Itne dino se toh roz use milne ki aadat hai, ab aaj usko mile baghair, baat kiye baghair kaise rahega main?", asked Raghu softly to himself. "Toh mat raho!", a voice piped up and he turned to see Ishaan standing there with Machmach. Ishaan smiled and bounded over to him. As Mehendi and Haldi was an all girls ceremony, Ishu was sent to Naik Sadan for a day. He sat beside Raghu and muttered, "Aapko agar Didi ko dekhe baghair nahi rehna hai toh mat raho! Jaake mil lo Didi se!" Raghu smiled and ruffled the boy's hair, "Par aaj toh Antara ki mehendi hai aur mere ko ghar se nikalne ko manaai hai!" Ishu raised an eyebrow and Raghu was taken aback as to how similar to Antara he was looking, "Lekin Raghu Bhai ko kab in sab rules ne roka hai?" Raghu rolled his eyes, "Arre! Baat woh nahi hai! Main milu toh kaise milu? Wahaan toh saari auntiyaan baithi hai! Uske beech mein Miss Call hogi! Aise kaise sab ke saamne usse milun?" Machmach, Raghu and Ishaan sat there and thought for a while. Suddenly, Ishaan's eyes fell on a lady walking on the toad and he grinned, "Mil gaya Idea!" Raghu and Machmach looked at him curiously. He pointed at the lady and Raghu noticed that she was wearing a burkha! He smirked and Ishu mumbled, "Samjha Jiju?" Raghu smiled smugly, "Samjha Saale!" Machmach scratched his head, "Par mereko nahi samjha!" Ishaan and Raghu rolled their eyes in unison!
Antara smiled as the mehendi was applied to her hands. Suddenly, the mehendi lady piped up, "Kehte hain ki agar is mehendi ka rang jyaada gehra hoga toh aapka pati aapse bahut pyaar karta hai!" Antara bit her lips in shyness. Her mother smiled, "Arre! Phir toh iski mehendi kaali aayegi! Kyunki iska Raghu toh iske peeche deewana hai!" The ladies laughed while Antara blushed. Suddenly, Antara leaned towards her Maami and whispered, "Maami woh baith baithke pair jakad gaye hain. Main jara upar ghoom aaun!" Maami nodded and Antara excused herself from the gang of ladies. She walked up the stairs feeling blood circulate her legs. Uff! Kitna achcha lag raha hai chalke! Baith baithke bore hogayi!
Raghu wandered inside the house dressed in a burkha. As he walked he noticed Antara walking upstairs. He smirked; Arre Waah! Antara upar jaa rahi hai aur akeli hai! Yahi time hai Raghu! Maar le chance! He walked towards the stairs when suddenly he felt a hand on his shoulder. His eyes widened and he turned around in shock. There stood Maami smiling at him. He gulped. Haila! Antara ki Maami! Kahin inko meri sachchai toh nahi pata lag gayi! Maami spoke up, "Aap kaun? Yahaan kaise? Maaf karna. Maine aapko pehchaana nahi!" Raghu looked around here and there trying to avoid Maami. Maami also looked around, "Kise dhoond rahi ho? Aur ho kaun tum?" Suddenly Raghu had an idea. He started speaking in a high pitch girlish voice, "Main, main Zaara hun. Antara ki saheli!" Maami smiled at her in wonder, "Achcha! Aao aao! Baitho!" Maami caught Raghu's hand and tried to drag him but Raghu spoke up stopping her, "Nahi! Nahi! Mujhe bahut jaldi hai! Mere abbu aspataal mein hai toh main seedhe idhar se udhar jaaungi! Aap bas mujhe Antara se milwa dijiye! Maine use promise kiya tha ki main aaj milne aaungi!" Maami nodded her head, "Oho! Aisi baat hai toh Antara upar gayi hai. Jaakar mil lo!" She pointed to the stairs and Raghu thanked her in girlish voice and walked away. As Raghu reached Antara's room, he froze in shock. There stood Antara in front of a mirror dressed in a beautiful forest green colored Anarkali. But that was not which made Raghu freeze in action. No, he stopped because Antara had her back towards him and the dhori of her kameez was open. To tie it up, she had pushed her hair towards the front which gave Raghu a whole wide unblocked view of her back. Antara was trying to tie the dhoris up but due to the mehendi in her hands she was unable to tie the dhori. Plus, generally it was her family members who tied them and hence, she was confused as to what to do. She did not want to go this way downstairs. Suddenly, her eyes reached Raghu's burkha clad figure and she turned around and smiled, "Hi! Kya aap meri madat kar sakte hain?"
Raghu came out of the shock when he heard Antara asking for help. He did not know what to say. Her milky skin had him in stupor. He gulped and nodded. Antara turned around and pointed towards her back, "Kya aap yeh baandh denge please?" Raghu nodded unable to say anything else. He trudged towards her slowly as if unable to believe his luck. He neared her and touched her back softly. Antara stiffened and turned around in shock. Raghu found his voice and spoke in the same girlish voice he used with Maami earlier, "Kya hua?" Antara frowned for a moment but shook her head, "Nahi! Laga jaise aap nahi mera Raghu hai yahaan! Aise laga jaise Raghu ne mujhe choo liya!", saying this she turned around. Raghu's heart skipped a beat as he realized that she could even recognize his touch. He wanted to touch her again but before he could say anything she moved away. She sighed as she leaned on the wall nearby. Raghu moved towards her, "Kya hua?" Antara shook her head, "Kuch nahi! Bas Raghu ko miss kar rahi hun!" Raghu grinned; she missed him too. Suddenly, an idea entered his head and he smiled widely. He spoke in the girlish voice, "Waise maine suna hai ki tumhaara dulha bahut garam dimaag waala, patthar dil insaan hai! Aur bahut maarta aur gunda gardi karta hai!" Antara turned and glared at him, "Kya kahaa? Kisne kahaa yeh sab tumse? Mera Raghu aisa nahi!" Raghu wanted to laugh but he controlled his laughter and mumbled, "Toh kaisa hai Raghu?" Antara turned back and started walking towards the balcony, "Woh? Uski kya taarif karoon? Saare taarif feeke lagte hain! Woh insaan toh heera hai aur uska dil toh is basti se bhi bada hai! Woh hamesha doosre ke baare mein apne se pehle sochta hain! Sabka khayaal rakhta hain! Uske hote hue majaal hai ki koi iss basti ki taraf aankh uthaake dekhe? Woh is duniya mein ek lauta hai! Uske jaisa aur koi nahi!" She turned towards him and smiled, "Pata hai use bak bak karne ki bahut aadat hai! Ek baar mooh kholde toh band hi nahi hota!" She turned sad and turned back towards the balcony, "Sab yahi dekhte hain ki woh ek gunda hai aur gunda gardi karta hain! Par koi yeh nahi dekhta ki mere Raghu ke kandhon par poori basti ko sambhaalne ka bhaar hai! Woh ek lauta itni badi basti ko musibaton se bachaata hai aur log use kya naam dete hain, Gunda?" Raghu felt tears well up in his eyes as he realized how much Antara had actually understood him. Tu itna mereko jaanti hai pehchaanti hai yeh main nahi jaanta tha yedi! Antara continued, "Woh tho mere liye ek farishta hai jo mere papa ne mere liye bheja hai; meri rakhwaali ke liye! Woh aaya hai meri zindagi mein mujhe sahaara dene nahi; mera saath dene! Aur main kal se poori zindagi ke liye uski ho jaaungi! Mere gale mein uske naam ka mangalsutra aur meri maang mein uske naam ka sindoor hoga! Aur garv se kahoongi ki main Mrs. Antara Raghunath Naik hoon!" She finished her monologue and walked out of the room into the balcony. She looked at the Naik Sadan hoping to see Raghu but the terrace was empty. She felt her heart beat in pain, "Raghu", she whispered missing him badly, "I miss you, Raghu! Kahaan ho tum? Kaash tum mere saamne hote! Mujhe tumhein bas ek baar dekhna hain! Please Raghu!", she pleaded in pain filled voice.
Raghu sighed miserably as he felt his heart throb in pain. Mereko itna miss kiya tu ne Miss. Call aur main samajh raha tha ki main ek hi hoon jo tujhe mile baghair tadap raha hun! Lekin yahaan toh teri bhi haalat mere hi jaisi hain! He walked outside in the balcony, removed the burkha and hugged her tightly from behind. Antara's eyes widened and she whispered, "Raghu!" She turned towards him and looked at him. Raghu gave a teary smile, "Main bhi tereko bahut miss kiya Miss. Call. Yeh ek din ek saal jaisa laga re!" She hugged him without touching him with her fingers to keep her mehendi safe and he hugged her back. Suddenly, she noticed the burkha on the floor and moved away from him, "Tum? Burkha?" She felt her anger rise, "Matlab? Abhi tum hi the burkhe mein!" Raghu nodded and grinned widely. She narrowed her eyes, "Matlab? Itne der se tum mere mooh se apni taarif sun rahe the!" Raghu nodded again. Her eyes started spitting fire, "You!!! You!!!" She raised her hands to push him away but then she remembered her mehendi and turned around. "Jaao! Jaao yahaan se! Mujhe tumse baat nahi karni!" He smiled tenderly and hugged her from behind, "Abhi toh mile hain Miss Call. Abhi jaane ko bolegi?" She turned towards him with a pout on her face and shook her head. "Waise Miss Call..", Raghu trailed off and Antara looked at him, "Kya main teri dhori baandh sakta hun?" Antara's eyes widened as she remembered the real reason she had called the burkha clad girl in. He nudged her gently, "Chal! Aaine ke saamne khade hoja! Woh last time jaise baandha tha waise hi baandhta hun!" She smiled at him as she remembered the way he had tied her dhori in the wedding they had gatecrashed. She shook her head, "Nahi! Tum mujhe aise dhori nahi baandhoge?" Raghu frowned, "Toh phir kaise?" She came close to him and hugged him and whispered, "Aise!" He choked for a moment at her boldness, "Aaj kuch kyaada hi bindaas nahi hai tu Miss Call!" She pulled away and frowned, "Aise kyun keh rahe ho! Kal humaari shaadi hai, ab tak toh tumhaara itna haq banta hai!" She hugged him again and he touched her back slightly with his hands while picking up the dhori. She shivered and he smirked at her. He left the dhori and slowly let his fingers trail over her back! Antara closed her eyes tightly at his touch. She shivered again and Raghu mumbled, "Itne mein hi tu pighal gayi Miss Call kal raat ko kya karegi?" She moved away from him and stared at him with wide eyes. He winked at her and she blushed and looked away. He turned her around and tied the dhori all the while touching her back and making her blush in between. Once his chore was done, he hugged her from behind, "Saamne Naik Sadan ko dekh rahi hai? Kal se woh ghar tera hoga!" Antara nodded, "Aur hum dono ek honge! Phir koi humein alag nahi kar sakta!"
Suddenly, someone grabbed Raghu's ears and pinched it while a voice spoke from behind, "Lekin aaj main tum dono ko alag karungi!" Raghu winced and both turned to look at the intruder of their romance. It was none other than Aaji who was pinching Raghu's ear while Maami, Noor Aapa and Antara's Mom stood behind her glaring at him. Raghu smiled uneasily, "Arre! Aap log! Idhar?" All four ladies smiled sweetly while Antara blushed and looked here and there. "Tu idhar kya kar raha hai?", Aaji glared at him and left his ear. Raghu smiled while rubbing his ear, "Woh woh Aaji kya haina...", Aaji cut him off with, "Pata hai! Pata hai! Maine tum dono ko apne ghar se dekhliya tha! Balcony mein khade rehke kya kya kar rahe the sab pata hai!" Antara's eyes widened and she blushed again while Raghu scratched the back of his head sheepishly. Aaji placed her hands on her hips and narrowed her eyes at him, "Main upar chat pe aayi yeh sochke ki bechaara mera Chintu akela hoga, apni Antara ko miss kar raha hoga, chalo main uska dil behla doon! Aur upar aake kya dekha? Chintu ghar ke chat ki bajaaye Antara ki balcony mein Antara ke saath ilu ilu kar raha hai!" She grabbed Raghu by his ear and dragged him away while saying, "Tu chal mere saath, tereko dikhaati hun" while Raghu walked away behind her shouting, "Ayi ayi! Chodona mereko Aaji! Aaa..." Antara let out a giggle at his plight. Hearing her giggles, Maami, her mother and Noor Aapa turned and stared at her with hands on their hips. Antara gulped and mumbled with her head down, "Main mehendi poori kar leti hun" and shuffled towards the door. When Antara was out of the room, the remaining three ladies started laughing over the whole issue.
It was late night when Raghu lied on his bed playing his mouth organ for his Miss Call knowing very well that she could not sleep without its music. Her balcony was open but he knew she would not come out. After what had happened some hours earlier her family would not have allowed them to even see each other before wedding. Suddenly, his mobile beeped and he checked the message. Antara had sent it, "Aaj akele bajaa rahe ho Raghu, lekin kal se jab bhi tum us mouth organ ko bajaaoge main tumhaare paas rahungi!" Raghu grinned happily as he realized that it was only 24 hours till she came into his house permanently. He grinned and turned to sleep and dream about his Antara.
Kaisa laga?
By the way, while writing the OS I did a silly mistake. I wrote - "Gale mein Sindoor aur maang mein mangalsutra" Now imagine how a girl would look with sindoor in her neck and mangalsutr on her forehead! He he he!
