Sanam Re ...O my beloved... Part1
A beautiful village...
Raghuvir Arora entered his house.His wife Sarla brought him tea.
Raghu:I am so happy today.
Sarla:That's nice.But what's the reason?
Raghu:My best friend Santhosh Bhalla had called me from London.His son Dr.Raman wants to see India.So he is coming here.He will be staying here for a few days.
Sarla:That's really nice.
Raghu:One more thing he said.He would like Raman to get hitched with our daughter Ishita.
Sarla was surprised:Really?Did he say so?
Raghu:Yes.
Sarla:But he has'nt even seen Ishita.
Raghu:Ya..but he is sure that our daughter will be cultured and well mannered like us.
Sarla:That's so sweet.So Raman is coming here to see Ishita mainly.
Raghu smiled:May be.
Ishita heard it standing behind the wall.
Ishita:Oh my God..This Raman Bhalla will be my future husband?I feel so nervous.
Raghuvir:Ishita beta...
Ishita:Yes papa..
Ishita came there.
Raghu:Papa's best friend Santhosh's son Raman is coming here to stay with us for a few days.
Sarla:And Santhoshji has found you as the life partner for Raman.
Ishita became shy.
Sarla:But he should like you.Only then this relationship will get fixed.
Raghu:The way to the man's heart is through his stomach.So make nice food for him.
Ishita was shy:Ok.
Ishita cooked food.
Raman reached there.
Raghuvir Sarla went to the veranda with a confused face.
Raman:Raghu uncle and Sarla aunty?
Raghu-Sarla:Yes.
Raman smiled:I am Raman ...
Raghu:Santhosh's son?
Raman:Yes.
They became very happy.
Raghu hugged Raman:Welcome Dr.Raman..welcome.
They brought Raman inside.Ishita hid behind the wall and watched him with a blush.
Raghu:Dr.Raman...
Raman:Please call me Raman.The people who are close to me call me Raman.
Raghu Sarla smiled:Raman...
Raman smiled.
They chatted with Raman for some time.
Sarla:Ok...let's have lunch.It's ready.
They all went to the dining room.
Raman started having food.
Raman:It's so tasty.Once in a while only I get to have Indian food.I love it.
Raghuvir Sarla smiled.
Raman:Auntyji...your cooking skill is great.
Sarla:It's not cooked by me.It's cooked by our daughter Ishita.
Raman was surprised:Ishita?
Sarla:Yes.
Raman thought:Dad sent me here to see Ishita.Where is she?I did'nt see her yet.
Raghu:Ishita beta...
Ishita came looking down.She was shy to face Raman.
Raman saw her face.
He was surprised to see her appearance.
Dressed in Ghagra...simple chain and earrings...tinkling bangles ..bindi...dots near her eyes..long hair plat...her nose ring adorned her.
Raman:You are a nice cook.Food is very delicious.
Ishita raised her eye lashes and looked at him slowly blushing.She felt very happy.
She thought:Though he lived outside India he likes traditional Indian food.
After lunch...
Raman:Uncle...I want to see this place.
Raghuvir:But it's not possible to see the whole village in a whole day.
Raman:That's fine.I will be here for a few days.So I will see the rest of the place later.
Raghu:Ok...Ishita will show you the place.Enjoy visiting our beautiful Village.
Raman Ishita looked at each other.
Ishita took Raman out.She showed the area and described it.
chal paDe hain hum aisi raah pe
befikar hue ke ab jaana kahan
laapata hue saare raaste
DhoonDhega humein ye zamaana kahaan
Raman:So beautiful.
Ishita:You are brought up outside India.Then how are you able to enjoy the beauty of Indian Village.
Raman:Though I am brought up in a foreign country I am Indian at heart.I love India and it's beauty.It's so natural and green.
She smiled.
She thought:I was nervous how I will adjust with a typical foreigner.But he is a complete Indian.
ye samaa hai kaisa
muskuraane jaisa
dheemi baarishein hain har jagah
ye nasha hai kaisa
Doob jaane jaisa
jaagi khwaahishein hain har jagah
Raman saw a mango tree.
Raman:Wow!I want to take fruits from the tree like you all do.
Ishita:Ok.
Ishita threw stone at the mangoes.Raman too threw stones and sticks at the fruits.
Some fruits fell down.Both took them from the ground.
Raman noticed Ishita eating it licking and sucking it.
Seeing it with a smile Raman too ate mango like that.
Ishita felt like laughing.
gazab ka hai ye din
gazab ka hai ye din
gazab ka hai yeh din dekho zara
Raman played with river water splashing water.
Ishita smiled.
paani hoon paani main haan behne do mujhe
jaisa hoon waisa hi rehne do mujhe
Ishita:You are playing like an innocent kid.
Raman:Ya...I missed all these fun in London.So I want to enjoy what I could'nt enjoy in childhood.
She smiled seeing him enjoy.
duniya ki bandishon se mera naata hai kahaan
rukna Theherna mujhko aata hai kahaan
She showed him the fields.
Raman:My God!I can't walk here.I am scared.
Ishita:You are scared?Seriously?I can't believe it.
Why are you scared?It's so simple.
Raman:You are used to walking through this area.So for you its silly.But not for me.
Ishita:Don't get afraid like a kid and follow me.
Raman:What?I need to follow you.
Ishita:Yes.Follow me.
Raman:Oh no...
Ishita walked fast while Raman walked after her slowly and carefully.
ye sama hai kaisa
muskurane jaisa
dheemi baarishein hain har jagah
yeh nasha hai kaisa
Raman:Though scary it's thrilling and interesting.
doob jaane jaisa
jaagi khwaishein hain har jagah
But Ishita slipped and was fell down hurting herself.
Raman:OH God!
He lifted her up in his arms.
She felt secure in his arms.
They both looked at each other.
gazab ka hai ye din
gazab ka hai ye din
gazab ka hai ye din dekho zara(Sanam Re).
Raman:Are you ok?
Ishita nodded showing pain on her face.
Raman carried her home.Raghuvir and Sarla got scared:What happened?
Raman:Ishita fell down.
They became upset.
Raman:Don't worry.I will handle it.
Raman placed Ishita on the bed.
Sarla caressed her:Good that Raman was there with you.Otherwise...
Raman cleaned her wound ..put ointment from the the first aid box and bandaged it.
Ishita was feeling pain.
Raman:I know it's still hurts you.But it's a minor wound.It will go soon.
Ishita felt drowsy.
Raman:But one thing Ishita.Now onwards don't be over confident while walking through the field.Understand.Be careful.
Ishita was embarrassed.
Raghu:Good that a doctor is here now.
Sarla:Right.Now Raman can look after us and give us the required treatment.
Raman:Sure.
They all smiled.
Raghu Sarla went out of the room.
Ishita:Thank you Ramanji.
Raman:Don't say thank you.It was my duty to take care of you.
Ishita smiled.
She thought:Now itself he considers me as his responsibility. That means he liked me?
Raman:Don't call me Ramanji.Call me Raman.
Ishita smiled:Ok Ramanji...
Raman:What?
Ishita:I am sorry Raman.
Raman:Yep ..you called me Raman.That's sweeter.
They both smiled at each other.
Raman:Save my number.I have taken a SIM here.Call me whenever you feel any discomfort.
Ishita:Ok.
Raman gave her his number and Ishita saved it.
Raman:Take rest.Bye.
Raman left the room.
