Chapter -1
Tej-Sunaina conversation
Tej is pacing back and forth in his room… dwelling over the events of last few hours … It was his little sister’s wedding which was supposed to be the most beautiful day for her and memorable day for him …but what transpired at the mandap was something far from these two feelings..,, He is still processing… mulling over it … replaying the whole thing again and again in his mind … he can sense a headache building up .. but he ignores that … because he has ignored rest of the things too long and too many times… His reverie broke with the arrival of Sunaina … who looks very tired and still wearing last night outfits from wedding…. She also doesn’t look very happy but not sad either….
Seeing Tej pacing she knows what’s bothering him and she doesn’t want to bring it up …but at the same time she wants to alleviate his pain … so out of concern
she asked- “Tej, kya hua, Kuch chaiye apko? aap pareshaan lg re h“
Tej trying to avoid her gaze and question asked her without looking at her- “ Kuch ni .. sare guests chle gye?”
Sunaina- “ha sb chle gye, aadhe guests to us tamashe k time hi chle gye te …baki b chle gye ab … bs maine shayd Manushi ko Masoom di k kamre me jate dekha ta but uske baad ni dekha… may be they are discussing something…”
Tej said nothing just nod to say “hmm” ….
Sunaina - “Kya baat h Tej … Aap mjse to share kr hi skte h .. mai janti hu aap pareshan h… aap jante h na doctor ne apko stress lene se mana kia h … apko relapse b ho skta h…”
Tej unable to hold it any longer burst out - “ kaise stress na lu Sunaina … tumne dekha ni niche kya hua …. kya sb chl ra ta … “
Sunaina trying to pacify him - “ Tej pr ab to sb theek ho gya na … shaadi b ho gyi Deep or Isha ki… Isha b khush h ab”
Tej sarcastically- “Ha shaadi ho gyi kyuki Isha ki zid ti … to wo to khush hogi hi … phle hm sbne zid pakad li ti Shanty k liye ab Isha ne zid pakad li ti Deep k liye…. Kya usko dikhayi ni dia k kya ho ra ta wha pr .. aj chachu ne Dad se jhoot bola …hmari khandani lakshmi ki murti dad se bina puche wo barfi devi ko dene chle te… us bechari Manjari ne smjhane ki koshish ki to use hi ghr se bahar nikal dia … Chhote ne kuch bolna chaha to use saga bhai na hone ka taana mara … ye sb Isha ko dikhai ya sunai ni diya? wo ldka muh bnd krke khda ta …arey uski maa k hath-paon jod re te chacha -chachi pr mazaal h k isha aage badh kr mna kr de is shaadi k liye”
Sunaina- “aap ye kya bol re h Tej, Deep acha ldka h .. aap to use bachpan se jante h “
Tej- “Ha lgta ta janta hu pr aj lga kisi or Deep ko hi janta hu … tumne dekha ni kaise uska muh tk ni khula … 2 bar .. 2 bar uski maa ne mandap se gathbandhan khol kr uska hath pakad kr niche utar liya … wo to chla b jata agr Manjari aur Chhota uske andr k soye zameer ko na jagate … aise ldke se shaadi krke kya sukhi rhegi meri behen .., jisko muh kholne k liye 2 logo ka sahara lga … wo to chhote aur Manjari ne krwa di in dono ki shaadi .. kyuki isha ne zid pakad rkhi h… pr kya kisi ne socha … shaadi k bad Isha ko usi ghr me rhna h … Barfi devi k sath …. jo shaadi chd kr chli gyi or kitni kadvi and kitni lalchi h wo to hm sbne dekh hi liya .,. Kya wo isha ko chain se rhne dengi?
Plus Isha or Deep k life style me differences h … Isha ko adjust krne me time lgega … aise me barfi devi uske sath kya kya kr skti h … mje smj ni aa ra kisi ko ye smj kyu ni aya … jis ldke ka muh aj itni mushkil se khula apni maa k aage …kya wo kabhi Isha k liye fir se apni maa k khilaf awaaz uthayega …. I don’t think so….
Sunaina knows Tej is right but what can be done now and so she says the same to Tej - “Tej ab hm kr b kya skte h? jo hona ta ho gya… “
Tej - “Yhi to problem h sunaina … jo hona ta ho gya or hmesha ki trah mai chup chaap sb dekhta or sunta rha …phle b chup ta … aj b chup hu or aage b rahunga”
Sunaina- “mtlb? “
Tej- “Jb dost yha ti and Mom Dost ko sunati ti tb kisi ne uske liye kuch ni bola … kisi ne awaaz ni uthayi … glti Chhote ne ki … pr agr dost chli gyi to use dhundhne ki bajay Chhote ne use hi dhokebaaz declare kr dia … or uska naam lene se b sbko mna kr dia … kisi ne use tb b kuch ni kaha …uske jane k bad jb Masoom ne Mom se badtameezi shuru ki mai to tb b kuch ni bol paya ..aj jb ye sara tamasha ho ra ta tb mai chup hi to ta … kyuki mai kr b kya skta hu … khne ko ghr ka bada beta hu pr aj tk maine 1 b bade bete wala kaam ni kia h … ye guilt mje andr hi andr khaye ja ra h “
Sunaina getting concerned about Tej- “Tej itna mt sochiye…apni health bilkul theek ni h … aap jante h na”
Tej- “Kaise na lu stress … kuch b to mai theek se ni kr pata … na bade bhai hone ka farz nibha pata hu … na hi business sambhal pata hu…. “
Sunaina- “Tej ap khud ko uske liye blame ni kr skte .. aap b jante h k jo business me loss hua wo apke hath me ni ta … company ki goodwill ko dhakka lga ta … phle jo mamaji ne fake medicine ka kaand kia .. fir suddenly Meet bhaiya ka sb chd kr chle jana … papaji ki ki tbiyat khrab ho jana … Market h up and down hoti h “
Tej- “ pta ni sunaina… pr kabhi kabhi khud ko bht helpless feel krta hu … nikammo wali feeling ati h “
saying this Tej striked a pot from nearby table.. it smashed to pieces with loud noise … Sunaina got scared … and shouts -“ Tej sambhaliye apne apko” ….
Tej’s headache is in full swing now .. Sunaina really wanted to help him out … she has something in her mind since the day Masoom taunted him for his inability to hold Ahlawats business… but never said it out loud because a lot is happening at home … first Rajvardhan is seriously ill… and then this Isha’s wedding drama ..
but she can no longer hold that thought so gathering some courage she told him- “Tej mai kafi time se kuch soch ri ti … jaise Masoom di ne apna alag venture start kia h … which is still our business but something new .. something of her own … and usse business b expand hua h …kyu na hm b Ahlawats groups of industries me kuch naya add kre … last time maine jo presentation di ti hmare naye product launch k liye wo kafi successful ti … pr fir Meet devrani k jane k bar Meet bhaiya b chle gye and wo deal materialize ni ho payi.. kyu na is bar hm dono mil kr koshish kre … kuch naya krte h … apko b change milega and hm dono sath me kaam kr payenge … Ram Lakhan b ab khud manage kr lete h apni padhai … or aage hme un dono ka b sochna h … apne bachcho k future k bare me sochna hoga.. I know hm ek parivar h…pr Masoom di ko aap jante ho and aj jo b hua uske bad mje lgta h hme b thoda apne bachcho k bare me sochna chaiye … aage chl kr agr Masoom di ne unhe kuch bola ya business handle ni krne dia to ye ladai fir ho skti h … isse acha hm log hi kyu na 1 naya venture start kre … agr sb sahi hua to hmare bachcho ko kabhi apna haq maangna ni pdega … “
Tej was listening to her silently … she has a point … the whole house has just assumed him as a weakling… this could very well be a chance to prove his mettle… Meet is anyways handling the pharma business well plus now Deep is also family so he will be more involved in the business..,, chachu is handling that too … He and Sunaina can really expand it with their collective knowledge…. and Masoom’s evil intentions are well known… Sunaina is right to be concerned about their children future … although rest of the family will never do that to Ram -Lakhan but nobody speaks against Masoom either … its better to nip this issue in the bud … when Ram-Lakhan are still small and he can do something about it ….
he gave a nod to Sunaina and said-“Tum sahi bol ri ho Sunaina… hme apne bachcho ka future b sochna hoga….chhota kabhi unke sath partiality ni hone dega manta hu lekin is waqt wo jis phase se gujar ra h mje ni pta wo kitna available hoga… Dad k theek hote hi shayd fir se US chla jaye and Masoom pr bharosa ni kia ja skta … mai kl se hi apne proposal pr kaam krna shuru kr dunga … waise b time lgega Market research and all”
Sunaina cut him in between- “Mai ni hum…. hum sath me kaam krenge to sb theek hoga … h na?”
Tej smiled and hugged her …. Sunaina is truly his strength and he is sure till Sunaina is there he will overcome this …
