Dooriyan diaries

Not a Diwali night anymore

Tej-Chalo aa gye tum log. Chalo baitho.

The chairs that are vacant are beside Devi and another far away. Shaurya and Anokhi look at the arrangement.

Kanchan-Ek dinner bhi nhi bardash kar sakte tum log ek doosre se door?

Shaurya-Arre aisi baat nhi hai. Anokhi ko.

Anokhi-Shaurya. Shaurya aur mein soch rhe the ki.

Shaurya-Ki hum dono sath mein kyu nhi kha sakte. Baki sab jodiyan toh sath mein hai. Toh hum dono kyu odd one out. Shift Kanchan. Uss taraf jao.

Kanchan- Ek din bhi nhi bardash hota.

Shaurya-Haan nhi hota. Ab usse rokne Kapurthala tak chala gya tha toh kaise rok loon khudko jabki woh mere paas ho.

Kanchan-Bhaiya! Too cheesy!

Shaurya-Sarak abhi. Side mein jaa.

Kanchan shifts.

Anokhi and Shaurya get seated.

Shaurya-Chalo khila deta hoon tumhe.

Kanchan- Kyu? Anokhi ke hath nhi hai bhaiya?

Shaurya-Haan.

Kanchan- Haan?

Shaurya- Matlab mere hath hai usse khilane ke liye. Uske hath kyu chahiye usse?

Anokhi- Shaurya mein kha lungi.

Shaurya- Shut up!

Anokhi- It's ok. I will manage.

Kanchan- Suna bhaiya. Anokhi will manage. Aap apna Khao.

Anokhi starts to eat with her hurt hand. There is a lot of conversation going around and no one notices. But Shaurya keeps throwing glances. Devi notices that these were not the usual glances. These were emotional and teary eyed glances at her hand and face. Shaurya was looking at Anokhi holding the spoon with her hand and he could barely eat. This is noticed by Devi. Devi looks at Anokhi's hand. She finds it black and understand it's burnt. She was just going to say something when Anokhi notices Devi looking at her and she nods in a no, pointing towards Rama.

Devi-Arre aaj ka din jiske liye special hai, Anokhi woh toh kha hi nhi rhi. Mein usse apne hath se khilaungi. Ek toh hostel se dubli hoke aayi hai aur yahan theekh se nhi kha rhi. Kuch nhi sunoongi mein.

Rama is happy to see Devi shower motherly love. Anokhi gets a bit emotional too that Devi found a way to help Anokhi without Rama coming to know. Devi feeds her. Then they enjoy the amazing sweets.

Devi-Tej kuch zyada hi mithai nhi kha rhe? Woh rasgoola Shaurya ka fav hai.

Tej-Toh? Naam thodi likha hai uspe. Koi bhi kha sakta hai. Ab rasgulla toh humere ghar ka national sweet hai naa. Matlab humara family sweet hai naa? Kyu Anokhi?

Anokhi-Ji. Ji.

Alok-Kyu bhaisaab?

Tej-Arre rasgulla jabse Shaurya ke life mein Chalke aayi hai tabse woh uski favourite hai.

Alok-Rasgulla Chalke?

Tej-Chod Alok. Tu nhi samjhega. But Anokhi beta urf Rasgulle ki wajah se char chand lag gye Diwali mein. Achaa laga ki tum time nikalke aa payi.

Anokhi-Arre. Meri Diwali toh yhi hai naa. Mere life ki saari roshni toh yhi hai. Iss chat ke neeche.

Kitty-Awwww!

Kanchan-Anokhi! I hope tum sunglasses rakhti ho. Roshni abhi se itni tez hai. Shadi ke badh yeh roshni se andhi ho jaoge. Abhi se toh ho.

Anokhi-Kanchan di. Mera matlab sab se tha.

Kanchan-Toh mein bhi sabki baat kar rhi thi. Sirf Shaurya bhaiya ki nhi.

Shaurya-Arre! Pareshan mat karo usse. ( He was defensive because he was so stressed. He wanted the party to end and take her to the room to take care of her wounds. ) I mean Anokhi. I mean.

Devi-Arre woh sab chodo. Babli thoda sweets pack karke de rhi hoon. Ghar le jao.

Babli-Thank you aunty ji ab chalna chahiye.

Devi-Hmm. Safely jana. Khayal rakhna aap dono.

Aastha-Haan Babli. Aaram se jana.

Babli-Ji.

They leave. Anokhi bids them a bye. All of them retire to their rooms excluding Shaurya and Devi.

Shaurya-Anokhi! Mujhe yeh bilkul pasand nhi. Agli baar se nhi karunga.

He hugs her.

Devi-Chod usse!

Shaurya-Badi maa?

Devi-Chod. Hath hata.

Shaurya-Kya?

Devi forcibly removes his hand off her. He notices Anokhi's back which had a nasty burn.

Shaurya-Anokhi! Oh my god! Tumne yeh kyu nhi bola.

Anokhi-Huh. Hath hi itna dukh rha tha dhyaan nhi diya. Laga thoda hi laga hoga.

Shaurya-Anokhi doctor ke paas chalte hai ab.

Anokhi-Shaurya! Raat ho chuki hai bohot.

Devi-Beta yeh sahi keh rhi hai. Bohot jala hai iska. But is waqt doctor nhi milega. Iss haal mein isse shehar ghumane se better hai mein ointment laga deti hoon. Chalo beta room mein.

They walk towards Anokhi's room.

Devi-Anokhi tum yeh upar ka blouse nikalo. Warna theekh se ointment nhi laga paungi.

Shaurya starts walking away from the room to give them privacy.

Devi-Ab kayar jaise mat bhag. Baith yahan chup chap. Chot usse lagi hai yaa tujhe jo darr ke bhag rha hai.

(Devi actually wanted to convey it's ok Shaurya can stay. She didn't mind that Shaurya would see Anokhi only in her bra. Anokhi was badly hurt and it would be only the right thing for Shaurya to be around.)

Shaurya sits beside Anokhi. Anokhi flinches as Devi gently applies ointment.

Shaurya-Anokhi! Sorry! Sorry! Meri wajah se yeh sab. I am so, so sorry.

He starts to cry profusely.

Devi-Kya?

Shaurya-Badi maa! Woh mein phone pe baat kar rha tha. Meri nazar kahin aur thi. Crackers burst ho rhe the paas mein. Anokhi ne mujhe bachane ke liye dhaka diya aur uske sath yeh....

Devi-Yeh kya laparwahi karte ho. Abse no crackers. Crackers kiye bhi toh no phone jahan crackers. Bache ho? Ki dekhna padega mujhe. Ab dekho kitna jal gya hai. Aur Anokhi tum kyu aayi beech mein. Jo galti kare wohi saza kaate. Bacha itna jal gya hai.

Anokhi-Theekh hoon. Zyada nhi.

Devi-Chup! Shaurya ko ab defend nhi karegi tu. Uski wajah se meri phool si bachi ka yeh haal hai. Usse toh maaf nhi karungi.

Shaurya-Mat karna! Bas isse theekh karo.

Devi-Abhi time lagega. Abhi ointment kar diya hai. Bas beta upar kuch mat pehna. Kal room mein hi raho. Mein tumhara khana upar hi laoongi. Wound ko khula rakhna zaroori hai. Niche aana bhi ho toh koi loose shirt Shaurya ki pehen lena theekh hai. Aur raat ko kuch bhi takleef ho bulana. Shaurya dhyaan rakhna iska warna phone phek doongi.

Shaurya-Haan rakhunga.

Anokhi-Thanks ointment lagane ke liye.

Devi-Pagal. Niche jab bola tu iss ghar ki bohot important member hai koi bhashan nhi de rhi thi. Tujhe aise takleef hoti hai toh bohot bura lagta hai. Abhi bhi pata nhi neend kaise aayegi. But tum rest karna. She gently pats Anokhi on forehead and leaves.

Shaurya-Sorry.

Anokhi-Sshh.

Shaurya-Anokhi tum rest karo.

He gently helps her lie down and lies down beside her taking care not to touch the wound.

I hope you enjoyed the update. Sorry agar boring tha. Do comment. Pleech 🙏🙏🙏
