It happened in Bombay

HAPPY BEGINNING

MISHTI

The moment I had those papers in my hand my tears went flowing like a tap had been left open.

I almost jumped on Rono and hugged him tight "ohh my god, I don't know what to say.... This.... This is....."

"Mein itna to kar hi sakta hu tumhare liye!" He said and I realised I was hugging Rono in his presence.

"Ruhaan mein....." I break my hug and held Roniee's hand.

"I am sorry Ruhaan" I finally managed to say.

"It was supposed to happen Mishti! If not like this then some other way!! I guess it's less painful like this." He smiled, though I could see he was in pain.

"Sorry..." I whispered again.

"Chalo thik hai! Promise me ke karwa chauth par har janam me Dr. Sahab ko nahi mangogi!" He looked at me, and I lowered my gaze.

"Kya Dr Sahab! Apne to agli baar ka chance bhi chin liya!" He laughed and hugged Rono.

"Mishti! Khush rehna bas!! Aur suno, mere liye pray karna ke ye jo mere bare kaha ja raha hai wo galat hai me proof kar Pau." He said "....... Aur ke mujhe tumhare jaise koi mil jaye... Jo itna pyaar kare mujhe jitna tum humare Dr Sahab se karti ho!"

Saying this he took my hand and kissed my knuckles, and left.... This time forever!!
--------------------------------

Rono held my hand, and kissed the back of my palm, that's when I realised he was crying, all happy tears but he was in tears and it made me so giddy.

"Roniee! Sweetheart! Are you okay?" I kissed his cheek.

"I am happy!" He said "just beyond my imagination!"

"But... I feel bad for him." He sighed.

"I know! Three years of his life were just.... They just disappeared! And I know he might have thought that I would be waiting..... Am I selfish Roniee!" I felt guilty.

"No! There was no other way..... This was destined!" He said.

"I know! I just wish that he comes out clean of all the alligations." I hugged Rono more tightly and he kissed my hairs lightly.

I told mummy and Pari about what happened today, both of them were happy and mummy was really relieved "mein bhi bhagwan se prathna karungi ke uske sath sab accha ho." She said.

"Ma is relieved too!" Rono told me.

"I will just go back home tomorrow!" I said.

"Why?" He asked.

"Don't worry, Pari will be back in two days after that mummy will be back too. We have so much to do but first thing first, we have to go to court to submit the papers and file for divorce." I said.  "I called col. Mehra!"

"And......" He asked.

"To ask about Ruhaan. He said there will be a few questions and then they will decide also he need to go through some tests again before they can decide if he can join the forces again or not!" I told.

"What if he couldn't?" He asked.

"I don't know! I hope he can, he has given so much for his country. Also, as much as I remember he was really very passionate about this work." I said and he nodded.

-------------------------
Divorce was granted, because it was mutual and Ruhaan didn't come for hearing it was easy.

Col. uncle told me that Ruhaan was not guilty! But he decided not to join back in the army.

"Ruhaan ne wapas join nahi kia!" I told Rono.

"Hmmmm.. He must have needed a lot of strength to take that decision" he said and I nodded.

"It's Pari's wedding already! Mummy Papa iske baad humare baare me sochenge!" I said smiling.

"Hmmm.. I just hope ab koi aur problem na aa jaye!" He said pressing the bridge of his nose.

"Hey! What is it? Are you already nervous about our shadi?" I asked pressing his hand with mine.

"Yess!! I can't lose you!" He said "that would be too much for me!!"

-------------------------
Pari got married, Roniee was there all the time! He has taken all the responsibilities like a good damad would. Tara was so excited to attend a Punjabi wedding. She was wearing a Punjabi suit for Sangeet and danced and danced making all of us go awww about it.

By the end of the day she was so tired that she slept in my arms.
"Give her to me I will put her to bed." Rono said
"Let her be... It feels so good to hold her!" I said and Rono kept his hand on our head out of affection.
-------------------------

It was Pari's reception and Tara was way too excited, when I asked her why are you jumping around she said
"Shhhh it's a secret!" And ran away.

"Mishti Khanna!"  Roniee, ma, and Tara were standing on the stage "hum sab aapse puchna chahte the.. ke kya aap hume apni zindagi ka hissa ban ne dengi?" Roniee said looking at me and when I was about to answer Tara said "peeesee Ma! Fir mujhe Roz aap story sunana aur peeeeeesee school ke liye bhi aap ready karna, baba to Roz roz late karwa dete hai!" Everyone laughed. "Aur in dono ko tu hi sambhal sakti hai, ab mein thak gayi hu beta!" It was Ma.

I was so happy that I didn't realise I had tears in my eyes. "Jawab de na Mishtu." Pari said screaming from the stage.

This was the happiest I can ever be, it was all I ever wanted, this is what I have dreamed of!!! I was so overwhelmed I could only nod into a "yes!!!!"
