Part 3: Value
Scene: next day late morning, at Vartak house
Sarika Atya comes to Appus room to try and wake her up.
SA: Appu, wake up, mujhe bahut important kaam hai tumse.
Appu: I’m already awake Atti. I’ve been awake for a while now.
SA sees that Appu hasn’t slept properly and looks very tired, but refrains from making any comments. Instead, she diverts the topic.
SA: Acha Appu, mujhe tumse ek kaam hai. Meri ek friend ki beti ki engagement party hai Flower Park ke pass, par mujhe kuch kaam hai tho mujhe jaane me late hoga. Can you please go there for me? I promise, me jaldi tume join karungi.
Appu: Atti, aapki friend ki beti ki engagement party mein mujhe kya kaam? Mujhe bilkul bhi interest nahin hai.
SA: Please Appu, voh meri bahut close friend hai par meri ek bahut important meeting hai jo mei reschedule nahin kar sakti. Like I said, I will join you soon. Par abhi keliye tum jao na vaha, please.
Appu: groaning with annoyance; Ok fine. Par mein vaha sirf 30 mins rukungi, no more than that.
SA: Acha ok, no problem. Chalo, meine tumhare liye kapde ready rakha hai, please wear that when you go.
Appu: annoyed; Aur kuch Ms.Sarika Vartak?
SA: Bilkul nahin Mrs.Apurva Kanetkar. Jaldi karo! Mein tumhare breakfast lati hu.
SA leaves the room and Appu gets up to ready herself for the party. As Appu leaves the house, Sarika makes a call.
SA: smiling; First step done!
A few minutes after Appu leaves, the door bell rings. SA opens the door to find the whole Kanetkar famiily at their door! (For all of our sanity, let’s pretend that Anjali Vartak left to US already after Appu came back.)
SA: aap sab log yeha? please come in!
Dr.K: Kon hai Sarika? after seeing K family aap sab, please aayie!
The family sits and after basic pleasantries, they signal each other to talk.
Dr.K: Sarika, Appu ko bula tho.
SA: Dada, meine Appu ko bhar bheja.
DK: kya? voh hum log actually Appu se baat karne keliye aaye. Dekhiye Dr Saab, hum sab chahte hai ki Appu aur Shashank ek saath khush rehe. Humne dekha hai ki Shashank Appu ke bina khush nahin hai.
Dr.K: Appu bhi khush nahin hai Dada. Pichle kuch dino se vo bhas khoyi khoyi rehthe hai. Doesn’t eat properly and hasn’t been sleeping well either.
Sua Aai: Isliye tho humlogon ne socha ki hum sab Appu ko samjhakar usse vapas leke jaate hai.
SA: Voh nahin ayegi.
Everyone is shocked, including Dr.K.
Dr.K: Sarika, yeh tum kya bol rahi ho?
SA: Sach Dada, right now Appu won’t go back, even though she wants to. Dada, aap 2 din se busy thi issliye mene aapko bhi nahin bataya. Actually, mein bhi Appu ko samjhane ki koshish kar rahi thi.
SA tells them all about her conversation with Appu in the garden, but leaves out about Shashank listening in. After listening to SA, everybody has tears in their eyes.
Amey: Hum log janti thi ki Appu bohot sensitive hai, aur vo uski aai ki vajhase bohot hurt bhi hai. Par itna affected hai ki pyaar karne se bhi darti hai, I didn’t know.
Mansi: Hum sab uske saath thi iss ek saal me uski fear ko nahi nikal payi.
Mai: Shayad humari pyaar mein kuch kami thi, ki Appu ko bharosa nahin hua hum par.
DK: Shayad hum log usse apna nahin bana payi.
Dr.K: Nahin! Galti aap saab ki nahin hai. Galti meri hai. Uski mom ki jaane ke baad, meine pura focus Appu ki future ko secure karne me lagadi kyunki uski care keliye Sarika thi ghar mein. But I forgot ki meri beti ko security ki nahi uski papa ki zarurat thi. Shayad agar meine uspar thoda zyada focus lagatha tho uske man mein itna dar nahin hota.
SA: Aur mein aapne toote hue ghar and apni beti ke baare mein soch thi rahi. Appu ki khyal tho rakha par uski dil, uski maan nahin samjha.
Kukki: Bas! Jo hogaya so hogaya! Right now, sirf Appu important hai. Hum log yeha Appu aur Shashank ko milane keliye aayi thi par right now, Appu ke darr aur insecurities mitana zyada important hai. Appu hai kaha?
Sumi: Aur hame ye baat Dada ko bhi batana hoga. Hum log kuch bhi kare par jis tarahse Appu Dada ki baat sunti hai na, vesa kisi ki nahin sunti. Dada hi usse sabse acche se samjha sakte hai.
Nikhil: Ha yeh correct hai. Mein Shashank ko phone karta hu and usse immediately yeha bulata hu.
SA: Arey ruko ruko! Uski koi zarurat nahin hai! Shashank ko sab kuch bata hai!
Everyone: KYA?
SA: Haa, actually jab Appu mujhse yeh saab bhol rahi thi, tho Shashank ne bhi sunliya. Voh actually Appu se baat karne keliye aaya tha par ye saab sunkar chup chap chala gaya.
KukkI: ek minute! Ye saab tho 2 din pehle huya na? Matlab isliye Shashank de 2 din chutti li office se?
Amey: Par kya faida Kukki? Voh phirse office chala gaya na, bin kuch kare!
SA: laughing. Shashank office nahin gaya hai. Voh Appu ke saath hai.
Everyone: APPU KE SAATH?
SA: Voh actually, kal mujhe Shashank ka phone aaya tha aur usne kaha ki mein kuch bhi bahana banakar Appu ko aaj Flower Park ke paas vaali venue pe bhejdu. Issliye meine Appu ko meri friend ki beti ka engagement ka bahanase vaha bheja. Aap sab ki aane se thodi dher pehle hi gayi ha voh.
Nikhil: Vah! Mere Saale saab tho chupa rustom nikla re! Hum sab se kaha ki voh office jaraha hai aur yeha Appu ko surprise karne ke plan mein hai!
SA: Surprise nahin shayad propose. Usne actually Appu keliye outfit bhi bheja aur kaha ki Appu ko ussi outfit mein bheju!
Everyone starts cheering, happy to know that Shashank will convince his wife!
Kukki: Ab toh hum logon ko yeh dekhna hi padega! Chalo sab log!
DK: Are ye! Kaha chalo? Thodi sharam varam hai ki nahin?
Kukki: Are Dada, sharam gayi tel lene! It’s up to you guys ki aana hai ki nahin. Par humari Kukki gang tho definitely jarahi hai.
Nikhil: Ha aur nahin tho kya. Day 1 se hum sab ne in dono ko milane ki kitni koshih ki! We are the true #Shappu supporters.
DK: Shappu?
Sumi: Shashank aur Appu matlab Shappu. couple name hai.
Amey: Voh sab chodo, hum logon ko dekhna hai indono ko finally milte hue.
Sua Aai: Dada, mujhe bhi jaana hai.
DK: Suvarna, tum bhi!
Sua Aai: Are nahin Dada, dekho Shashank ese serious mode ke bhar kuch kare esa tho kabhi nahin hota. Mujhe bhi apne beta ko esa free aur khush dekhna hai, please.
Panna; Aur kya pata, Appu Shashank ki baat se bhi nahin mani tho?
Mai: Ha, ye bhi sahi hai, agar Appu nahin mani tho hum sab usse tabhi samjha sakthe hai.
SA: Sach kahu tho mujhe bhi dekhna hai Shashank ka proposal. Matlab ye dono ek durse se pyaar karte hai we all know, par unki confession live dekhne mein mazza hi kuch aur hoga.
Kukki: Dekha! Sabki man ki baath bhaar agayi na. Chalo na Dada. Ye last time hai promise. Ek baar in dono ki beech confession ho jaya phir Kukki gang bhi inke picha nahin karegi.
Kukki gang: Pakka Promise.
DK: Acha ok, par koi Shashank ko disturb nahin karega aur jitni jaldi hosake hum log vapas ayenge. Un dono ko akele tho rehne dho!
Everybody leaves to venue to reach as soon as possible!
Meanwhile, Appu reaches the venue as directed by SA. But when she reaches the garden, she doesn’t see anyone there but one kid who hands her a card and leaves.
“Find your way to the center for a brighter future”
The 10 words were all that was written on the card. No name, no signature, and no clue as to who gave it to her. But somewhere, Appu knew who this could be. The famous saying is “curiosity killed the cat” and Mrs. Apurva Vartak Kanetkar is one of the most curious persons in the world, so she took the the bait as her curiosity got the best of her.
She followed through the maze that was the garden, meeting many dead ends but instead of dismay at getting lost, she kept getting more and more excited to see what lay at the end. Finally, after many dead ends and reroutes, she reached the center to find a beautiful gazebo surrounded by four 8 ft tall hedges spaced around it with just enough space between each hedge for two people to fit. It was so out in the open and yet closed enough to have privacy. There were rose petals on the ground leading from the hedge into the gazebo.
The gazebo was another beauty altogether. It was neither too big nor too small, enough space for a couple to have privacy without being crammed together. The four pillars of the gazebo were covered with rose vines climbing all across them meeting at the pinnacle of the roof on the outside. The 3 small steps leading into the gazebo had small candles lit on each side along with the rose petals. Inside the gazebo, in a corner, was a quaint little table with two chairs beside each other.
Appu was mesmerized looking at the setup and her heartbeats rose in tempo in both excitement and anxiety as to what this could mean. She continued to walk into the gazebo and couldn’t stop looking around herself. Suddenly, she felt a rain of chocolates fall upon her. Different different variaties of chocolates, all her favorites, fell like an endless stream. So much so that she started to feel like she was in Willy Wonka’s Chocolate Factory. Appu got lost in the surprise that she didn’t see someone walking towards her until a hand slid around her waist and heard a small whisper in her ear: “pasand aya?”
Appu turned around to reply but felt speechless at the view in front of her. There was her husband dressed as she has never seen before! She’s seen him in formals when going to work, in traditional wear during festivals and functions, and completely relaxed at home in their room. But the view in front of her now felt like out of a fairy tale. Appu couldn’t stop staring at her handsome husband dressed to kill in black pants and a tucked in skyblue button up shirt with the top button open, not to mention the matching belt and shoes and of course his forever Chasma!
Seeing Appu unable to stop staring at him, Shashank’s grin was slowly increasing but as he got a good look at his wife, he got lost as well. No matter what she’s wearing, his wife was always cute, even in her sleepwear, but he was very careful when selecting her outfit. When he finally decided, he couldn’t stop imagining her, but the reality was so much better. The netted skyblue saree with a slim gold trim across the borders and the gold sleeveless blouse gave off a royal look when he saw it online which is why he got it. But now, seeing his beautiful wife in the attire, he couldn’t decide if she was looking cute or hot! His grin widened when he realized that she was wearing those half-moon earrings he gave her as her first gift from him, all those months ago. Seeing his wife lost in him and seeing her wear those earrings relieved him of all the nervousness he felt for the past 2 days and he grew more confident to take the next step.
Shashank: Apurva! Esa kyu dekh rahi ho? Tumne kaha tha na, couples should wear matching clothes. It’s the new trend, hai na? Isliye maine hum dono ke kapde same color ki li.
Appu suddenly notices that she is indeed matching with her husband and her heartbeats pick up again on hearing that he remembered her wishes from so long ago!
Shashank: Mujhe pata tha ki ee saree tumpe bahut acchi lagegi. You always look beautiful but today, in the saree of my choice, tum aur bhi beautiful lag rahi ho.
Shashank comes close to Appu, holding her left hand in his right hand and sliding his left hand to her waist. On seeing Appu still lost, he starts to feel happy that he finally managed to make his crazy wife speechless.
On feeling Shashank’s touch, Appu finally comes out of the shock and starts to realize what’s happening.
Appu: Tum yeha? Yeha kya kar rahi ho? And what is all this? Atti ne mujhse kaha ta ki-
Shashank: Ki unki friend ki beti ka engagment hai. I know. Maine Sarika Atya ko esa bolne ko kaha. So that I can have you here with me like this.
Appu: Par kyu? Mein tumari life se chali gayi na? Like we decided to before, tho yeh sab kyu?
Shashank: Because I don’t want to loose you. Aur life hum dono ki hai na. Tho tum akele itna bada decision kese le sakthi ho? We need to talk properly, bina koi arguments kiye. Chalo, come sit here with me.
Appu, after fighting with her brain and heart, decides to follow him so that she can at least savor these moments for now and deal with the consequences later. They go to sit on the chairs by the table in the corner. To Appu, it felt like they were in their own world where nobody else and nothing else existed.
Shashank: iss pehle ki hum humare bara baath kare, I want to clear something with you. Netra nahin meri girlfriend aur nahin mere mann mein uskeliye koi bhi feelings hai. She is just my assistant and my wife’s elder cousin. Usse zyada kuch nahin, samjhi?
Appu just continues to stare at Shashank, relief and happiness brewing inside her at his words but her fears refuse to let her fully understand. Seeing that he has her full attention, Shashank continues.
Shashank: Mere maan mein sirf ek insaan keliye feelings hai aur vo hai meri pyaarsi wife. Mujhe ye one year wala contract nahin nibhana hai. I want to stay with you as true husband and wife, forever. Ghar vapas chalo mere saath?
Appu was torn between listening to her heart that was telling to her go or to her mind that was telling her to step back now before the memories turn bitter. Shashank waited patiently for her response. He wanted to know how much power her fears had, even in the face of his indirect confession.
(What he didn’t know what that their families were waiting for her reply too. They had just arrived when he was asking her and conveniently hid behind the hedges to bear witness to their conversation.)
After a few minutes, Appu finally speaks up but only to refuse Shashank.
Appu: Nahin, humne pehle decide kiya tha ki yeh shaadi sirf ek saal keliye hogi. And you promised me that you would let me go. Tho phir ye saab kyu?
Shashank sighed realizing that she is hiding her true feelings again, so he decides to go with Plan B instead.
Shashank: You know what? 2 din pehle mein Vartak house aya tha…to talk to you. Par vaha aake maine tumari baathe suni. Vah baathe jho tum apni Atti se kar rahi thi.
Shocked, Appu rises from her chair, looking for an escape route.
Shashank: sochna bhi mat. sighing, he holds both of her hands in his tightly, refusing to let her runaway from him again. Apurva, education sabkuch nahin hota hai. Acchi life keliye bahut zaruri hai, but education se zyaada important bahut sari qualities hai. And you have those! No amount of studying could ever teach a person to be like you. Tumhari tarah pure and innocent and loving koi nahin hai. Don’t ever compare yourself with others, even me!
Appu: This is all nice to hear but hum dono bahut alag hai!
Shashank: Exactly! Hum dono bahut alag hai, issliye tho hum ek saath perfect hai. And that’s why our families wanted us together. Jaha me zyaada serious hu vaha tumari bindass nature mujhe control karti hai. Jaha tum padayi chor hu, vaha meri kitabi keeda kaam ata hai. Agar mein professional life mein gold medal hu na, toh personal life mein tume toh diamond medal milne chayi, because logon ko kaise apna banate hai, yeh tumse zyaada better koi nahin janta. Aur ha, hum donome similarities bi bahut hai. Hum dono keliye sabse zyada important hai humari families. Unke keliye hum kuch bhi karsakte hai….. Tumne Yin & Yang ke baare mein kabhi suna hai? We are like that. Separated, hum dono incomplete hai, but together, ek durse ki kamiya puri karte hue, ek perfect complete circle bante hai.
Listening to his words, Appu starts to tear up, truly believing him, but fear has a way of overpowering all other senses.
Shashank: Aur rahi family…matlab Kanetkar family ki baat hai tho, they all love you the most, shayad mujhse bhi zyada. Tum tho sab ki ladli ho, especially Kukki. Tume bata hai, humari first meeting se…actually tumse milne se pehle se, Kukki tume rajkhanya bulata ta. Sab tumse bohot pyaar karte hai. No one’s doing any favors on you.
Appu: Ok, manti hu sab mujhse pyaar karte hai. But what about the future? Mein sabse alag hu, main misfit hu iss family mein. Aur main nahin chathi ki meri wajah se kisi ko bhi embarrass fell ho ya meri wajah se kisi ko bhi sharmindagi ho. Because ye feelings mujhe sabse door kardegi. Issliye, let’s end this here. Tumne kaha tha ki tumare aur Rani Tai ke beech kuch nahin ha, Ok I agree. Par tum apne liye aur apne family keliye koi esa dundo jo perfect fit ho. Main sab ko nahin kho sakti.
Crying, Appu pulls herself away from Shashank and is about to run out of there, ignoring his calls behind her. But luck favored Shashank tonight, as she was stopped short, seeing her entire family blocking her exit. She looked to see that everyone has tears in her eyes and a sympathetic smile on their face. Her mind was telling to push past everyone and leave but her feet felt rooted to the spot. She was vaguely aware of her husband coming to stand behind her.
Sua Aai moved first and trapped Appu in a warming hug and after a few seconds, Appu returned her hug breaking down in her arms. Mai and Babi Atya came forward, laying their own hands on Appu’s head and back. After a few minutes amidst the motherly love, Appu gathered herself and looked at the family surround her.
Panna: Appu, Sarika tai ne hame sab kuch bataya.
Mai: Hum saab tumse bahut pyaar karte hai Appu. Ese darr apne mann mein math rakho.
DK: Appu, janta hu ki tumare mann mein bahut darr hai aur ye darr asani se nahin jayegi. Issliye mein tumse bas ek sawal puchungi. Kya tume hum sab par bharosa hai?
Appu: Of course Dada Kaka. Mujhe app sab par poora bharosa hai.
DK: Toh uss bharosa par bharosa karo aur vapas chalo. Hum sab na tume janne denge aur nahin hum kahi jayenge.
Sua Aai: Ha hum tume datenge zaroor, par sirf tumhari galati par.
Babi Atya: Aur discipline bhi karenge, kyunki uske bina toh tum padayi bilkul nahi karogi.
Mai: Par isse humara pyaar kabhi kum nahin hoga.
Vittu Dada: Aur mujhe meri singing partner bhi tho chaye.
Sumi: Appu, hum tumhe kabhi nahin chodenge.
Nikhil: Tumne mujhe apna bhai mana na, tho main apni ek lauti behen ko kaise chodu.
Kukki: We’ll prove it to you Appu ki hum sab hamesha saath rehenge ladte jhagadte khushi khushi.
Appu stands speechless overwhelmed by the love she was receiving. She feels Shashank holding both of her arms in a side hug. For once, Appu feels like she’s safe enough to let go of her mask of happiness. For once, she wants to be selfish enough to take in as much love as possible. For once, she decided to fight her fears and value the love she was getting instead. Too emotional to say anything, all she could do was nod towards Sua Aai standing directly in front of her.
Her unspoken concession was all that was needed to rid the air of the blanketed tension. Especially for her father and aunt, who were standing to the side, more relieved than ever to know that their princess will always be in safe, loving hands.
Amey: Are chalo ghar, celebrate karte hai!
Shashank: Ek minute! Aap sab jaye, hum dono baad mein aathe hai. Mujhe Apurva se akele mein baath karni hai.
Kukki gang: OH!!! AKELEEE??
Shashank: Ha akele. Aur bina aap logon ki chup chup ke sunna. Babi Atya, please aap iss Kukki gang ko leke jao!
Babi Atya: Shashank is right. Hum sab chalte hai ghar aur inn dono ko akele rehne dethe hain.
After much hugs and take cares from everyone and teasings from Kukki gang, Shashank and Apurva were left alone again in the garden. And this time, they were truly alone, in a private world of their own. Appu was still in Shashank’s arms, staring at each other, unsure if this was a dream or an even more beautiful reality.
Note: I basically had to use this chapter to resolve all the issues set up in the first two parts so that we can have nothing but romance and cuteness in the rest of the story.
❤️❤️❤️❤️
Another great update ishqi!
Shashank going all out to manaofy his wife... the whole set up and especially what he said in the proposal was beautiful.. I loved Shashank's lines here 😊
I really hope show mein bhi aisa hi kuch dikhaye to unite shappu instead of going the OG way (dusari shaadi wagaira).. bahut accha lagega...
Excited to see some shappu romance in the next part 🥰
I am really hoping for this one!!!! Kuch toh hona chaiye isa...appu manofying khadus!!! Khadus ne bhi thoda bhav khana chaiye!! Haqq hai uska😂😂
