Yeh humari beti...I mean kaise ho sakti hai yeh humari beti...humari shaadi ko sirf 6 mahine hi hue hain na...phir beti kaise ho sakti hai... Kya ho raha hai mere saath...ek bhuli hui zindagi ek adhuri si shaadi aur ab achanak yeh bachi...kya uljhan hai yeh, she pressed her aching head with one hand while her another hand continued to hold the baby her husband had given her.
(Our daughter...I mean how can she be our daughter...we have been married for just 6 months...then how a daughter is possible...what is happening with me...a forgotten life an incomplete wedding and now suddenly this baby...what confusion is this, she pressed her aching head with one hand while her another hand continued to hold the baby her husband had given her.)
Koun ho tum...kya tum sach mein meri beti ho...waise ho toh tum bahut hi pyaari si tum...par agar tum meri beti ho toh kaise...Raman toh bin bataye chale gaye ander...ab tum hi kuch bata do, she settled down on the sofa along with the baby having some imaginary words with her.
(Who are you...are you really my daughter...even though you are very cute...but if you are my daughter then how...Raman went inside without telling me...now you only tell me something atleast, she settled down on the sofa along with the baby having some imaginary words with her.)
And the baby, all she did was just hold her mother's hair tight, never to leave probably.
And so laughing at her cute antic, Ishita put the baby in her lap and kissed her forehead.
Bahut din se door ho kya tum mujhse jo itni zor se pakad rahi ho mujhe...daro mat...tum jo bhi ho ab main tumhe khud se door nahi jaane dungi, she made a commitment without even knowing what relation she shared with the baby.
(Have you been away from me for long that you are holding me so tight...don't worry...who so ever you are now I won't let you go away from me, she made a commitment without even knowing what relation she shared with the baby.)
Probably it was her motherly heart that connected with her baby immediately.
------------------------------------------------------------------
Allle re mera baby...bhukhi lagi kya, he saw her cuddling the baby as he came back after freshening up.
(Aww my baby...are you hungry, he saw her cuddling the baby as he came back after freshening up.)
Kya baat hai...badi jaldi ghul mil gaye dono, she turned as she saw him making a comment while smiling at her.
(Wow...you both have gelled well with each other so soon, she turned as she saw him making a comment while smiling at her.)
Haan Raman woh yeh rone lagi thi toh main bas ise, she said while handing over the baby to him.
(Yah Raman she was crying so I was just, she said while handing over the baby to him.)
De kyun rahi ho...tumhari khud ki hi toh beti hai...ache se khelo uske saath itne din baad jo aayi hai, he told her lovingly.
(Why are you giving her to me...she is your own daughter...play well with her as she has come after so long, he told her lovingly.)
Raman kya yeh sach mein humari beti hai, she asked taking back the baby from him.
(Raman is she really our daughter; she asked taking back the baby from him.)
Tumhe shaq hai, he asked raising his eye brows.
(Do you have any doubt; he asked raising his eye brows.)
Shaq nahi Raman matlab kuch samajh nahi aa raha hai...aapne hi kaha tha ki humari shaadi ko 6 mahine hue hain...6 mahine mein beti aur woh bhi itni badi...I mean yeh bhi 4-5 mahine ki lag rahi hai, she spoke her confusions.
(Not doubt Raman but I cannot understand anything...you yourself said we have been married for 6 months...a daughter that too as young as her in just 6 months...i mean she herself looks 4-5 months old, she spoke her confusions.)
Toh kya hua agar 6 mahine hue hain toh...kya pata pehle se hi, he added on to her confusions.
(So what if we have been married for 6 months...who knows we had a daughter before marriage only, he added on to her confusions.)
Nahi Raman mujhe pata hai pehle se kuch nahi hai, she said confidently.
(No Raman I know there is nothing from earlier, she said confidently.)
Itna bharosa khud par, he questioned her.
(So much trust on yourself, he questioned her.)
Khud par nahi aap par...itna toh jaanti hi hoon aapko ki na aap kuch galat karenge na mujhe karne denge, she showed her faith in him.
(Not on myself but on you...i know you this much that neither will you do anything wrong yourself nor let me do, she showed her faith in him.)
Hmm ok...tumne woh dekha jo maine tumhare liye choda tha, he enquired her about the parcel he had left for her having nothing to say about the trust she mentioned.
Hmm ok...did you see what I had left for you, he enquired her about the parcel he had left for her having nothing to say about the trust she mentioned.)
Haan dekha na...usmein se mujhe ek diary mili...meri khud ki diary, she answered.
(Yah I saw...i found a diary in it...my own diary, she answered.)
Padhi tumne, he asked further.
(Did you read, he asked further.)
Nahi...I mean kuch pages padhe...aage padh rahi thi ki aap log aa gaye, she said.
(No...I mean I read few pages...I was reading ahead but then you both came, she said.)
I see, he commented.
Raman please...all this is getting too mysterious...mujhe saaf saaf bataiye na kya baat hai...kya hai meri guzri zindagi ka sach...aaj mujhe sab kuch bata dijiye...main itna toh jaanti hoon ki aap mujhse kuch gehre raaz chupa rahe hain, she pleaded while rocking the baby who was somewhat cranky by now.
(Raman please...all this is getting too mysterious...please tell me clearly what the matter is...what is the truth of my past life...tell me everything today...i know this much that you are hiding some deep secrets from me, she pleaded while rocking the baby who was somewhat cranky by now.)
Bataunga...aaj sab kuch bataunga...par pehle baby ko dudh pila do...woh shayad bhukh ki wajah se ro rahi hai, he promised to sort her life today.
(Will tell you...today I will tell you everything...but feed the baby first...maybe she is crying out of hunger, he promised to sort her life today.)
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Raman yeh aise nahi piyegi shayad...aapko isko apni god mein lo...main dudh pilati hoon, she said while dipping a cotton ball into the milk.
(Raman she won't drink like this probably...You take her in your arms and I will feed, she said while dipping a cotton ball into the milk bowl.)
Haan thik hai...abhi tum kaise bhi ise dudh pila do...phir main iska saara zarurat ka saaman le aaunga...bottle clothes wagarah aur bhi jo bhi chahie...Amma ke ghar se toh lena hi bhul gaya, he said while putting the baby in his lap.
(Alright...right now you manage this way...then I will buy all the necessary things for her...bottle, clothes and all whatever is needed...I forgot to bring from Amma's house, he said while putting the baby in his lap.)
Amma bhi na...unhe toh dena tha...kitna mushkil hai aise rui se dudh pilana...aadha muh mein jaa raha hai aadha iske kapdo mein, she said while struggling to feed the baby.
(Amma too is a limit...she should have given...it is so tough to feed her with this cotton ball...half milk is going in her mouth and half is spilling over her clothes, she said while struggling to feed the baby.)
Chalo chodo na...abhi adjust karo, he tried to divert her attention.
(Let it be...just adjust for now, he tried to divert her attention.)
And then they both together fed the baby with all the love.
Who would believe they were the same couple who had the worst fight last night as now they were one, One' because of One' baby.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Ishita, he said loudly walking towards the hall.
Ssshhh...sula rahi hoon...dheere bolo, she scolded him while roaming in the hall patting the baby.
(Ssshhh...I am putting her to sleep...speak slowly; she scolded him while roaming in the hall patting the baby.)
Sorry...main bas yeh keh raha tha ki tum ise sulao main jaldi se market ho aata hoon, he started to leave.
(Sorry...I was just saying that you put her to sleep and I will hurriedly come back from the market in the meantime, he started to leave.)
Raman rukiye, she held his hand.
(Raman wait, she held his hand.)
Kya hua, he asked confused.
(What happened, he asked confused.)
Abhi mat jaiye...yeh abhi so rahi hai...abhi aap mujhe please sab sach bata dijiye...mujhse aur ab bardaash nahi ho raha hai...please, she almost cried while requesting him.
(Don't go now...she is sleeping now...now you please tell me the truth...I cannot wait anymore...please, she almost cried while requesting him.)
Thik hai...tum ise lita aao ander phir batata hoon, he agreed to her request.
(Fine...you settle her inside and then I will tell you, he agreed to her request.)
But as she left for the room, his stress increased a little.
He was about to tell her something which would change their lives.
Hopefully for the better but there were slight chances of the relapse as well.
What if she took it the other way and made things worse.
Main aa gayi, she said bringing him out of his thoughts.
(I am here, she said bringing him out of his thoughts.)
Aao baitho, he made her sit on the sofa close to himself.
(Come sit, he made her sit on the sofa close to himself.)
Ab please bataiye, she said impatiently.
(Now please tell me, she said impatiently.)
Ishita pehle please meri puri baat sunna phir hi kuch react karna...hum sab kuch aaram se workout kar sakte hain...bas tum patiently sunna sab aur samajhne ki koshish karna, he initiated the conversation.
(Ishita first listen to everything I say and then only react...we can peacefully workout everything...you just listen to me patiently and try to understand things, he initiated the conversation.)
I promise Raman, she assured him.
Tumne apni diary mein padha hoga na ki tumne engagement wale din engagement ke liye mana kar diya tha, he looked at her.
(You must have read in your diary that you refused to get engaged to me on our engagement day, he looked at her.)
Haan Raman padha na...par kuch samajh nahi aaya...maine mana kiya par main pareshan thi...aapka dil nahi todna chahti thi...phir agle page mein main upset thi kyunki aapne mera dil toda...kuch bhi samajh nahi aaya, she sounded tensed.
(Yes Raman I read...but could not understand anything...I refused but then I was tensed...I didn't want to break your heart...then on the next page I was upset because you broke my heart...I just didn't understand anything, she sounded tensed.)
Maine tumhari diary padhi hai...mujhe bhi kuch cheezen samajh nahi aayi thi...par mujhe itna andaaza lag gaya tha ki kuch baat hai...kuch aisi baat jo tum chipa rahi thi...islie maine use phone kiya jo sab jaanti hai...pura sach jaanne ke liye, he started to narrate things.
(I have read your diary...even I could not understand few things...but I could make out that there was something to it...something that you were hiding...so I called someone who knew everything...to know the complete truth, he started to narrate things.)
Koun Raman, she questioned him.
(Who Raman, she questioned him.)
Mihika...tumhari best friend, he answered.
(Mihika...your best friend, he answered.)
Mummy ji ne mention kiya tha uske baare mein par kuch yaad nahi...khair woh chodiye aap mujhe puri baat bataiye, she asked further.
(Mummy ji did mentioned about her to me but I don't remember anything...anyways leave that and tell me ahead, she asked further.)
Toh woh hua yeh, he looked at the ceiling.
(So it was like, he looked at the ceiling.)
*The Engagement Day*
Tu bhi na mahaan hai Ishu...tu us lady se last moment lad padi...ab hum late ho gaye toh kya hoga, Mihika cursed Ishita as they hurriedly entered a beauty salon.
(You are great Ishu...you fought with that lady last moment...now what if we get late, Mihika cursed Ishita as they hurriedly entered a beauty salon.)
Toh kya karti...pata nahi kis namooni ko bulaya tha Amma ne mere makeup ke liye...us se better toh main khud ready ho jaati...anyways this is my regular salon...tu tension mat le sab time pe ho jaega, she replied while settling herself at a seat inside the salon.
(So what else could I do...Amma had called a clown for my makeup...it was better I got ready on my own...anyways this is my regular salon...you don't worry everything will be done on time, she replied while settling herself at a seat inside the salon.)
Ishu main keh rahi hoon...aaj toh Raman na tujhe dekhte hi pagal ho jaega...just look at you...you look like some seductress today, Mihika teased her friend as she got ready for the engagement.
(Ishu I am telling you...today Raman will go crazy on seeing you...just look at you...you look like some seductress today, Mihika teased her friend as she got ready for the engagement.)
Hone do pagal...I don't mind...waise bhi log shaadi ke baad pagal hohi jaate hain...Raman shaadi se pehle hi sahi, Ishita giggled.
(Let him go crazy...i don't mind...anyways people go crazy after marriage...Raman will go crazy before marriage only, Ishita giggled.)
Chal ab jaldi nikalte hain yahan se...Madhavi aunty ka 2 baar call aa chuka hai...woh log venue pahunch chuke hain, Mihika said while settling the bill.
(Come on now let's leave from here fast...Madhavi aunty has already called twice...they have reached the venue, Mihika said while settling the bill.)
Miku woh dekh toh zara, Ishita said surprised as they moved close to her car.
(Miku look there, Ishita said surprised as they moved close to her car.)
Ishu yeh, Mihika looked at Ishita shocked.
(Ishu this, Mihika looked at Ishita shocked.)
Ek bachi, they said together as they opened the basket that was left by someone at their car's bonnet.
(A baby, they said together as they opened the basket that was left by someone at their car's bonnet.)
Kiski bachi hai yeh Ishu, Mihika asked confused.
(Whose baby is she Ishu, Mihika asked confused.)
Pata nahi yaar aur yahan kyun hai, Ishita too voiced her concern.
(I don't know and why she is here, Ishita too voiced her concern.)
Chal aas paas dekhte hain...aise koun chod gaya apni bachi ko, Mihika suggested a solution.
(Come lets see around...who has left the baby like this, Mihika suggested a solution.)
And they looked around for about 20 minutes to get a clue of whom the baby belonged to and why she was left here on their car like this alone but they found nothing.
Ab hum kya karen Ishu...kuch pata nahi chal raha hai kiski bachi hai kahan se aayi hai kyun yahan chodi gayi hai, Mihika sounded irked.
(Now what should we do Ishu...whose baby she is and why has she been left her here, Mihika sounded irked.)
Kitni choti hai yeh Miku...hardly 4-5 days, Ishita pecked the baby.
(She is too young Miku...hardly 4-5 days, Ishita pecked the baby.)
Ek kaam karte hain...ise wapis usi basket mein rakh dete hain and side mein chod dete hain...hum nikalte hain Ishu we are getting late, Mihika gave an option.
(Let's do one thing...lets put her back into the basket and leave here there only...we should leave Ishu we are getting late, Mihika gave an option.)
Are you mad...aise kaise chod sakte hain...kitni choti hai yeh...iska toh rona bhi koi na sune...isko kisi ne kuch kar diya toh...how can you be so insensitive Mihika, Ishita lashed out at Mihika.
(Are you mad...how can we leave her like this...she is too young...nobody can ever hear her cries...what if someone does something to her... how can you be so insensitive Mihika, Ishita lashed out at Mihika.)
Toh kya karenge phir...saath leke jayenge kya ise, Mihika looked at Ishita.
(Then what will we do...will we take her along, Mihika looked at Ishita.)
Yaar ek toh yeh Amma call pe call kar rahi hain...yahan main pareshan kam hoon kya, she angrily switched off her phone.
(Amma is calling again and again to trouble me as if I am already less tensed, she angrily switched off her phone.)
Ishu aunty must be waiting for us...sab guests aa gaye honge...please chalte hain, Mihika said in a soft tone.
(Ishu aunty must be waiting for us...all guests would have arrived by now...please let's go, Mihika said in a soft tone.)
Dekh Mihika...yeh bachi meri car par mili hai islie yeh meri hai, Ishita suddenly made a decision.
(Look Mihika...this baby was found on my car so she is mine, Ishita suddenly made a decision.)
What did you just say...say it again...teri bachi...are you mad...have you lost it, Mihika almost shouted.
(What did you just say...say it again...your baby...are you mad...have you lost it, Mihika almost shouted.)
Tu khud soch Mihika...yahan dheron cars khadi hain...jisne ise yahan choda meri hi car par kyun choda...shayad bhagwan ki hi marzi hai ki is bachi ko mera aur mujhe iska saath mile, Ishita got teary eyed.
(You yourself think Mihika...so many cars are parked here...the one who has left her here chose only my car, why...maybe god wants me and this baby to be with each other, Ishita got teary eyed.)
Listen to me Ishita...you are being too emotional...I understand tu bachi ke liye concerned hai but itna bada decision mat le...the max we can do is drop her at the nearby police station, Mihika suggested something sensible.
(Listen to me Ishita...you are being too emotional...I understand you are concerned for the baby but just don't make such a big decision...the max we can do is drop her at the nearby police station, Mihika suggested something sensible.)
Meri bachi police station nahi jaegi Mihika...dekh toh zara ise...kitni pyaari hai yeh...dekh dhyaan se iski shakal kitni milti hai mujhse...dekh isne kaise meri ungli bhi pakdi hai, Ishita felt an immediate connection with the baby.
(My baby will not go to any police station Mihika...just look at her...she is so cute...look carefully she even resembles me...see she is even holding my finger, Ishita felt an immediate connection with the baby.)
Ishita I respect your feelings but what about Raman...tu aise kaise tum dono ke liye suddenly decide kar sakti hai sab kuch khud hi...be practical ok, Mihika tried to put some sense into her friend.
(Ishita I respect your feelings but what about Raman...how can you alone decide anything random for both of you...be practical ok, Mihika tried to put some sense into her friend.)
Aaj yeh sagai rokni hogi...mujhe Raman se baat karni hogi...unhe sab batana hoga...uske baad hi hum aage badh payenge is rishte mein, Ishita confessed.
(This engagement needs to be stopped today...I will have to talk to Raman...i will have to tell him everything...only then we can move ahead in this relation, Ishita confessed.)
Phir ab, Mihika finally gave up.
(What now then, Mihika finally gave up.)
Tu ek kaam kar...ise ghar leke jaa...kisi se kuch mat kehna abhi...aur chupake leke jaana...kisi ko pata bhi na chale...main wahan jaati hoon aur Raman aur baaki sab se baat karti hoon...dhyaan se jaana and iska bahut dhyaan rakhna please, Ishita said giving the baby to Mihika.
(You do one thing...take the baby home...don't say anything to anyone as of now...and take her secretly...nobody should get to know about her...i will go there and talk to Raman and everyone...go carefully and take care of her please, Ishita said giving the baby to Mihika.)
And as Mihika left with the baby, she looked on with deep eyes making a strong decision in her mind already.
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Raman yeh bachi mujhe road par mili thi, she asked while wiping off her tears that had formed on hearing the sad story of the baby.
(Raman I had found this baby on the road, she asked while wiping off her tears that had formed on hearing the sad story of the baby.)
Haan Ishita yeh tumhe mili thi aur is naate yeh tumhari beti hai...humari beti, Raman rubbed her hand lovingly.
(Yes Ishita you found her and so she is your daughter...our daughter, Raman rubbed her hand lovingly.)
Kya majburi rahi hogi is bachi ki maa ki jo usne yeh kadam uthaya aur kaise uske dil ne is baat ke liye gawahi di hogi, she rested her head on his shoulder.
(How helpless the baby's mother would have been that she had to take this step...how her heart would have witnessed this, she rested her head on his shoulder.)
Hogi koi bahut badi majburi Ishita...warna koun maa baap apne bache ke saath aisa karenge, he caressed her hair.
(There must be something big Ishita...otherwise which parent would do this to their baby, he caressed her hair.)
They hadn't even realized how close they had come to each other erasing all the distance that had crept between them last night. They had separated because of the baby and today united because of the baby.
Phir aage kya hua Raman...kya aapne baby ko accept karne se mana kar diya tha jo main sagai todna chahti thi...aur phir aapne kya kiya jis se main upset thi...humare ghar walon ka reaction tha Raman...yeh bachi kahan thi ab tak, she asked enormous questions without even taking a pause.
(What happened ahead Raman...did you refuse to accept the baby that I wanted to call off the engagement...and what you did that I was upset with you...what was our family's reaction Raman...where was this baby till now, she asked enormous questions without even taking a pause.)
Woh, he started to answer but stopped as they both heard the cry of the baby and so ran towards the room.
(Actually, he started to answer but stopped as they both heard the cry of the baby and so ran towards the room.)
Keeping their hands at the baby, they lovingly patted her together setting an ideal example of good parents.
With the coming of the baby, they began a new journey; not of a couple but parents.
