Aye zindagi...

Changing feelings

Coming back home, Pallavi was looking at Raghav who's lost in thoughts. He seemed lost. After dinner, Pallavi came and kept her head on Raghav's chest and was playing with his robe band. Raghav was patting her head still lost in thoughts. 

Pa : Lekin yeah toh galat hai na! 
Ra : Hm.... 
Pa : Aisa hona hi nahi cahiye! 
Ra : hm....
Pa : Main kaal hi jaungi! 
Ra : Hm....wait, what! kaha jayega tum!
Pa : Finally! My husband has time for me.
Ra : Aisa nahi hai! Vo, actually I was thinking about Mandar! Pata hai tumko vo
Pa : Raghav please! His chapter should be over!
Ra : Pata hai! but, he was completely not at fault, right! Dekho, main manta hain vo galat kiya. But, think na...agar merese koi tumko zabardasti alag kaar de toh! Main toh uska jaan le lega na! 
Mandar Tara seh bohot pyaar karta tha! Lekin uska vo Sunki Baap nahi samjha!
Pa : Raghav! Tum Mandar seh sympathize kaar rahe ho! Vo jisne humeh alag karna caha. tum ushme achai search kaar rahe ho! 
Ra : Ek baat yaad rakhna Saree ka dukan, koi beginning seh bura nahi hota! Situation insan ka characteristic badalta hai! Mandar was initially a good person in love with his GF but , then, your Sunki Baba, he destroyed everything. So, Mandar became rebellious and his outburst was like this! Haar koi toh ek jaisa outburst nahi karta! Jaisa main kiya tumhara sath when I lost my mind! You too did outburst! So.... Aur maine socha hai keh! Mandar deserves 1 chance to change. aaj main uska ankho mein koi gussa ya firh aag nahi dekha. He was different. So, I have let him out on bail! 
Pa : Kya! Tumne Mandar ko bail! Why Raghav! 
Ra : Dekho main! 
Pa : Nahi! Vo kuch galat kiya toh! Agar hum alag!
Ra : tum bohot sochta hai! Aisa kuch nahi hoga! He will not interfer! Trust me
Pa : Raghav! 
Ra : hm, bolo
Pa : tum itne ache kyu ho! Humesha, like always, you try to find goodness in someone. Aaj ke baad tumhara respect mere nazro mein itna zyada ho gaya! And I am proud that you are my Husband. I love you
Ra : Tum mereko mila toh main sudhra! Tum hai ish achai ka reason. I love you. Chalo abhi soh jao. Good night!

Mandar was out on bail the very next day. Mandar went back home but was comparetively silent. 
After few days, Mandar was roaming in a near by park when he saw a couple. He went a little near and found it to be Raghvi enjoying their moment.

Ajnabi shehar hai
Ajnabi shaam hai
Zindagi ajnabi kya tera naam hai
Ajeeb hai yeh zindagi yeh zindagi ajeeb hai
Yeh milti hai bićarti hai bićarke phir se milti hai
Ajnabi shehar hai
Ajnabi shaam hai

Mandar saw Raghav and Pallavi were enjoying the moment and lost in themselves. Mandar was at a distance, they could not see him. Mandar smiled and remembered how he too dreamed of living a life like this. He wanted to be happy, but, life had different plans. He prayed to God "Bappa , maine bohot galat kiya inke sath, please atleast let them have their happiness. Someone should be happy in love alleast. Varna, pyaar seh logon ka bharosha chala jayega"

Life moved on, so did people. Mandar was a long lost chapter, rather, Raghvi were planning a vacation. Pallavi was happy as ever in her life. Raghav, well, we all know, he is there for Pallavi. 

Mandar, he, is trying to get over his sadness. He's now managing the Deshmukh Emporium and for a change, the shop is doing well. Deshmukhs haven't changed much. Sunki baba still blames the Raos for everything. Milind has lost hopes on Sulochana and So has sardha. 

Aap ke ba-gair bhi humein
Meeti lage udasiyaan
Kya ye aap ka aap ka kamaal hai
Shayad aap ko khabar nahi
Hil rahi hai paaon ki zameen
Kya ye aap ka aap ka khayaal hai

Mandar was walking along the riverside one fine evening and suddenly he saw Tara, his Tara. Mandar smiled and went to hug her. But she's no where to be seen. Mandar smiled through the tears.

Raghav tiptoed to Pallavi and twirled her. They both got a project jointly. They celebrated and promised to be together forever. Raghav thanked God for giving him Pallavi.
