Arranged Marriage (Anuseena)✔

Haseena's Anger

One week later

In the evening.

Anubhav and his kids are playing in the garden. Just then Haseena comes out of the house.

HM-Anubhav......

AS-kya hua?

HM-kya hua kya (angrily), barish hone wali hai andar chaliye.....

Aabhas-ammi bas paanch minute......

HM-bilkul nhi.....

Dhvani-please ammi, dekho na kitni acchi hawa chal rahi hai.....

HM-hawa nhi aandhi kehte hai ise.....(annoyed).

AS-aap bhi aaiye na Haseena.....(he said with puppy eyes).

HM-Anubhav yeh dhul mitti sab aankhon mein pad rahi, chaliye yahan se.....

They are talking when it starts raining.

Dhvani-yayyyyy.......(excited) barish bhi hone lagi....(happily)

HM-haan ab andar chalo.....

Dhvani-nhi.....

HM-Aabhas.....

Aabhas-nhi ammi.....

HM-Anubhav aap hi samjhaiye inhe......(helplessly).

AS-please Haseena.....(pleading eyes).

HM-thik hai jo karna hai karo aur agar barish mein bheeg kar bimar huye toh yaad rakhna teeno ko kamare se nikal denge hum.....(she said angrily).

Trio-nhi honge bimar......

HM-hum ja rahe hai.....

Trio-bye.....

HM(angrily)-hum kya kare in teeno ka, koi sunta hi nhi hai hamari, baap toh baap bacche bhi waise hi hai.....aur yeh Anubhav ko toh samajhna chaiye ki barish teeno ko nuksaan karegi par nhi unhe mana karne ki jagah hume hi kah rahe hai ki aa jaiye.......

She enters inside the house grumbling.

Maa-kya hua tu itne gusse mein kyu hai?

HM-kya bataye maa *sighs* aapke bete ne hamare baccho ko bigad diya hai.......(she said and sat down on the sofa beside maa).

Maa-yeh galat kah rahi tu, mere bete ne nhi tere pati ne mere pote-poti ko bigad diya hai.....

HM-maa.....(she said with puppy eyes).

Maa-jab main Anu ko dantati thi tu aakar uski side lekar bachati thi na ab dekh uska nateeja....

Ammi-galti sirf Anu ki thodi hai galti iski bhi toh hai, ise hi barish mein bhegne ka itna shauk tha ki saat mahine ki pregnant hote huye bhi barish mein bheegne ke liye bachain ho jati thi.....

HM-tab hume craving hoti thi barish mein bheegne ki aur woh barish ki boonde jab sukhi mitti par girti thi toh uski saundhi saundhi khushboo, kitna accha lagta tha......(she said, imagining with her eyes closed).

Ammi-haan bas yahi asar pada hai baccho par......(taunting).

HM-ammi aapko nhi pata kitni mushkil se humne khud ko us time control kiya tha barish mein bheegne se (sadly) aur kabhi kabhi toh hamara mitti ki khushbo sungh kar man karta tha ki hum mitti hi kha le.....(she said hesitantly).

Ammi and maa smiled.

HM-aap dono muskura kyu rahi hai?

Maa-tunhari baat sunkar....(smilingly).

HM-sach kah rahe hai maa, pregnancy mein itni craving hoti thi hume ki raat raat bhar hum Anubhav ko pareshan kar dete the.....(she said with a smile).
