Kuch Pal MaAn Ke Sang

part 3 : New Beginnings

Anuj : "tum bhi ho, main bhi ho, mandir bhi hai, chalo shaadi kar lete hai" eagerly holds her hand to take her inside

Anupama : "Anuj, kya bol rahe hai. Aise kaise shaadi kar sakte hai, parivar kaha hai. Gk kaka, baa, babuji, bache, devika, maa, bhavesh koi bhi nahi hai. Thoda to sabr rakhiye"

Anuj : "haan, ye bhi sahi hai. 26 saal tumhari haan ka intezaar kiya hai.. main to 26 janam tak tumhara intezaar kar sakta hu"

Anupama : "26 janam, itna sabr kis bazaar se laye hai. Mujh main nahi hai itna sabr"

Anuj : "bolo, mujh se shaadi karne ke liye itni bechain ho"

Anupama : "haan matlab nahi, matlab aap bhi na. ab hum is baare main koi baat nahi karenge, thik hai"

Anuj : "hmm" putting a finger on his lips, basking in the happiness of being together with his Anu finally.

As few moments pass, both think to again go inside the temple and take blessings. Everything has changed, their lives have changed completely in these few moments. And they want to begin this new life with Radha Krishna as the witness to their love, devotion, and support for each other.

This time when they entered, there was something different in their demeanor, in the air. A priest came forward for veneration. "Aap dono ki jodi hamesha radha krishna ki tarah bani rahe", he said. They looked at each other this time and smiled, taking it as blessing, sign from radha krishna.

Anupama thinks of something but is not sure how to ask Anuj. She feels awkward and then thinks of an idea.

Anupama : "2000 rupees di jiye, Anuj"

Anuj : "Kyu, kya hua. Pooja to ho gayi na"

Anupama : "Kuch nahi, aap bas mujhe 2000 rupees di jiye, koi problem hai kya aap ko"

Anuj : "Nahi, tumhara haq hai, ye lo"... offers his wallet to her

Anupama : "Nahi, aap hi nikal ke di jiye" thinking she wants him to give from his own hand.

Anuj obliges and takes a 2000 note from his wallet. She sees the photo in his wallet, their first selfie from bhumi pujan but decides not to say anything.

Anupama : "Ab, aap bahar ja ke wait kare. Main thodi der main hu."

Anuj : "Main yahi ruk jata hu"

Anupama : "Kaha na, aap bahar jayenge, kyu zidd kar rahe hai"

Anuj : "Okay okay, jata hu, par tum dant kyu rahi ho"

Anupama : "Suri suri, mera wo matlab nahi tha"

Anuj : "mujhe achcha lagta hai, tumhara haq hai. main waha bahar tumhara wait karta hu". Points towards place outside and goes.

************

Anupama gives the money and request to keep a pooja for Anuj. She wants to see him happy and prays to God to ward off any evil eyes on his happiness. The offering was for him, so she required him to touch money, as in, be part of it and get blessings.

Anuj, was patiently waiting outside for his Anu. Unaware that two girls were looking and admiring him. One of two challenged other to go talk to him, ask his name and number. Anuj pre-occupied in his thoughts of how lucky he was to finally get Anu, didn't realized the girls approaching him.

Suddenly, Anu appears before him, at same time as those girls did. "Sorry Bhabhi, wo mistake ho gayi" they said and ran away. Anuj and Anupama both looked at each other and laughed on how the girls ran away.
