Henceforth, I would be giving a weekly update on Saturday nights or early morning on Sundays.

Happie Reading!

Vanraj sat at the edge of the bed anticipating what Anupama was about to say. She started, "Humara engagement hone ke baad jab mai college gayi tab voh ladka jiske baare mein Devika bol rhi thi, voh mere paas aya aur bola ke voh mujhe pasand karta hai aur mujhse shaadi karna chahta hai. Maine manaa kar diya usko. Mai toh voh sab tabhi bhool chuki"

"Oh! Zindagi bhar ke embarrassment se bach gaya." Vanraj taunted.

"Em...embaras...Kya?" Anupama tried pronouncing it as she didn't know English.

"Voh sab chhodo. Ab tum yeh batao ke agar humari engagement nahi hui hoti toh tum usko haan bol deti?" Vanraj asked.

Anupama smiled and took his hand in hers holding it firmly with one hand and caressing it with the other she lovingly said, "Aisa kaise ho sakta hai Tosu ke papa!" she coyly said the next sentence, "Hum toh ek dusre ke liye bane hai ne. Toh mai kisi aur ki kaise ho sakti hu?"

"Theek hai, theek hai. Ab jao aur sojavo." saying that he left her hand and was about to lie down and right then Anupama called him diffidently and said, "Tosu ke papa, mai aapse voh...bhot voh karti hu!" and with that statement she shyly ran away from there.

Vanraj massaged his head with his fingers in annoyance saying, "What a gavaar! She can't even say I love you in 21st century." With that he went to sleep.

On her way to Pakhi's room Anupama kept repeating the word, "embraisemaint" She thought that Vanraj had complimented her or something. She thought it was a praise for her. She pleasantly went to Devika and was sure to ask the meaning of it so that she can add it to her list of English vocabulary and use it the next time when she expresses her love to her husband.

She entered Pakhi's room and directly went to Devika who was sitting near the bed oiling her hair. "Idhar de...mai ache se champi kar deti hu." Saying that she took the bottle of hair-oil from Devika's hand and started gently massaging her scalp.

"Yaar! Tere haath mein toh jaadu hai." Devika said thoroughly enjoying the massage.

"Thenk yu! Acha Devika yeh embraisemaint kya hota hai?" Anupama innocently asked.

"Kya? Kya bola tuney?" Devika wasn't able to comprehend.

"Em. Braise. Maint." Anupama broke down the word.

"Oh! Embarrassment!" Devika cleared.

"Haan! Vahi...uska matlab kya hai?" Anupama expectantly asked with curiosity.

"Sharmindagi. Vaise, kahan se sunn liya yeh word tuney?" Devika asked.

Anupama was still for a moment. Her brain couldn't process this new information. She felt pathetic for herself. Stopping the massage, she said she was feeling sleepy and went to bed. Tears threatened to spill, and she was racing herself to win against it. Before Devika could turn, she pulled the blanket on herself and said a goodnight to Devika. She wasn't ready to answer any further questions of her best friend.

Devika felt something was amiss. But she understood that her friend needed her space and so she left it at that. She self-noted that she would talk about this in the morning.

Anupama deplored herself as she degraded and thought unworthy of herself to her husband. She didn't know English, didn't know the mannerisms of talking in front of others, was an illiterate she thought. She was full of despair for not being able to compliment her husband in front of the world.

(The plot now shifts to the next day when Devika warns Anupama about a possible affair between Vanraj and Kavya)

"Dekh Anu, mujhe lagta hai ke Vanraj aur Kavya ka kuch chal rha hai. I think they are having an affair" Devika tried warning Anupama.

"Bas Devika! Agar tujhe yahi sab kehna hai toh aage se yahan mat aana. Tujhe pata bhi hai ke voh mere liye kitna kuch kar rahe hai?! Kitna adjust karte hai mere liye. Mai toh unke saath khade hone ke bhi layak nahi hu. Aur voh yeh sab isliye kar rahe hai kyun ki voh mujhse pyar karte hai. Bhot bhot bhot zyada pyar karte hai. Agar Kanha ji khud bhi aakar yeh kahe ke unka kisi ke saath sambandh hai toh bhi mai nahi manungi." Anupama's fury knew no bounds.

Devika gave up saying, "Mai bhi yahi prarthana karungi ke tera yeh vishwas kabhi na toote."

She just turned and left from there, defeated.

I know it's heart-wrenching to read. But yeah...its needed. I will be elaborating on Anuj's proposal once I introduce him in the story. 

This fanfiction is going to be very different from the main stream fictions that we all have been reading. The storyline would be same with very slight changes but the approach would be very different.
