Ishqaan Wala Love

22. Hidden Truths

Dadi reached her room and immediately turned around to Ahaan and said, "Mai kuch dino se dekh rahi hoon puttar, tu iss Ishqi ki bohot tarafdaari karta hai...  Mai bata rahi hoon, ye Ishqi jaisi ladkiyan teri maa jaisi hoti hai...  jisko apne swarth ke aage kuch nahi dikhta...  Inko sirf paisa dikhta hai... 
Teri maa bhi hamein paiso ke liye chodd ke gayi thi aur dekhna woh paiso ke liye hi wapas aayegi... 

Dadi paused a little to check if her words were sinking in his mind and seeing him deep in thought, she continued.

Mujhe bohot darr lag raha hai..  Aaj Sonu ki shaadi mein na aa jaaye woh.. Tamasha bhi hoga aur hamari badnaami bhi...  Sunn tu mere saath chal..  Main manager se kehke personally staff chunungi..  Aur wohi meri sonu ki shaadi mein kaam karenge...  Rahi baat security ki, toh entry pe tu hi mehmaano ka swagat karega na, toh dhyaan rakhna ki woh mandap ke aas paas bhi na aaye... 

Ahaan: Par woh toh andar hi toh hogi na...  Uske liye security aur staff..  ye sab karne ki kya zaroorat hai dadi...  Aap toh haath dhoke uske peeche parr gaye ho..  I am telling you ... woh jo dikhti hai waisi nahi hai... Aur paiso ke peeche toh bilkul nahi hai..  In fact woh toh sabse ladkar Job karti hai taaki kisike paiso pe dependent na ho.. 

Dadi: Kaun? Tu kiski baat kar raha hai?

Ahaan: Ishqi, aur kaun.. Aap kiski baat kar rahe thay... 

Dadi, hitting him on his shoulder: Hey bhagwan...  Teri sui har baar uss ladki pe hi kyun atak jaati hai..  Uss khottey ke saath rehte rehte tu bhi waisa ho gaya hai..   Mai Savitri ki baat kar rahi hoon... 

Ahaan: Par woh achanak aaj yahan kyun aayegi

Dadi: Arey usey pata chal gaya hoga na ke hum ab raees ho chuke hai..  Aur ye shaadi vyah mei sab emotional hote hai..  Isi ka faayda uthake aayegi aur kahegi ke tum dono ko bohot yaad karti thi..  Koi majboori thi toh itne saalon tak nahi aa paayi...  Aur sonu toh hai hi jhalli, maa ke pyar ko tarasti hui....  Jaise uss Ishqi ki baaton se pighal gaya hai, waise teri maa aake kuch bhi kahani sunayegi aur tu pighal jaayega... 

Ahaan: Pehli baat toh Ishqi uss aurat ki tarah bilkul nahi hai..  Aur mai kya koi bachcha hoon ke woh mujhe aake ice-cream degi aur mai pighal jaunga..  C'mon dadi..  Ab mai woh 7 saal wala Ahaan nahi hoon.. Jo Maa ki raah dekhkar pura din gate pe guzaar deta tha.. 

Dadi: Dekh rahi hoon kitna bada ho gaya hai... Itna bada ke apni dadi ki baatein tujhe galat lagti hai aur woh ladki tujhe sahi lagti hai... 

Ahaan: Dadiiiiiii,  mai aapse behes nahi kar raha hoon.. Mai bas itna kehna chahta hoon ki kai baar jo hum dekhte hai, jaante hai ya samajhte hai woh sach nahi hota hai.. 
Maine insaan ko pehchanne mei galti kar ke yeh baat sikhi hai ..  Isliye keh raha hoon.. 
Rahi baat Savitri devi ki, toh aap unki fikar mat kijiye..  Mai sab sambhal loonga... 

Dadi: Kaisi galti? Kisko pehchan ne mein..  Oye puttar tu itna ghuma phira ke kyun bol raha hai?  Kuch hua hai kya ??

Ahaan trusted his dadi blindly and had always looked up to most of her ideologies. Yet,  there was something about this Mayank issue that he could not confide in her.  Because the path to Mayank's reality also led to his own relationship which he was not ready to tell dadi yet.  He wanted to first show her the virtues of Ishqi ..

Dadi waves her hand in front of his eyes to bring him back from his thoughts and says:

Tu mujhe bata raha hai ya nahi?

Ahaan: Arey Kuch nahi..   Bas aap tension mat lo...  Maine waise bhi gate pe kaha hai ki koi guests jaldi aaye toh mujhe inform karde mai receive karne aa jaunga..
