"Chhodo mujhe...kya kar rahe ho...!"A man said in his thirties angrily as he was blindfolded and four men forced him to sit down by holding his arms.
" Chhote sahab ke aankhon se patti toh hata.!" A man ordered his assistant. He removed the blindfold from the man's eyes. The man is shocked to see that a fire is burning in a Havan Kund and he is sitting beside the bride.
"Yeh sab kya hai aur mujhe yahan kya bithaya hai...!" He said angrily. "Sir ji vyah ho raha hai aapka, meri behan ke saath...!" The second man replied with a smile. "Kya bakwas hai...!" He stand up angrily. "Bakwas nhi sach hai aur hamare idhar isko pakdva vivah kehte hai...ab shanti se baith jao aur vyah racha lo meri behan se warna iee dekh rahe ho (unlocking his gun) ek second mein bheja khali kar denge..."
"Tum jante ho hum kaun hai...!" He said angrily. "Anubhav naam hai tumhara...Lucknow ke bade businessman ho rahe ho..babu hamare yahan pakada shaadi karane se pehle ladke ke background jaan lete hai hum...aur waise bhi hamari iklauti behan ki zindagi ka sawal tha..!" The man said with a smile.
"Hum nhi karne wale yeh shaadi...!" Anubhav denied angrily. "Karna padega warna yahin ke yahin khopdi uda denge tumhara...!" The bride's father said angrily.
"Darte nhi hai hum tum jaise sadak chhap gundo se...!" Anubhav said boldly. "Par tera parivaar toh darta hai na..!" The bride's brother said smirking at him. "Hamare parivaar ko haath lagaya toh...."Apna muh band karke shaadi karlo..kuch nhi karenge tumhare parivaar ko..!" The bride's father said.
"Ek baar apni beti se toh puchh lo..use karni hai humse shaadi ya nhi..!" Anubhav said angrily. "Hamari marji uski marji...samjhe ab munh band rakho warna khopdi khol denge..!"
Anubhav looks at the bride, whose face was covered with veil.
Next Day in early morning
Anubhav is standing on a big mansion's door with his wife and her relatives.
"Anu yeh sab kya hai..!" Anubhav's mother asked him, seeing him with a bride. "Hum batate hai mata ji...(bride's brother interrupted) yeh aapki bahu hai aur aapke bete hamare jija ji.. !"
Maa looked at Anubhav questioning eyes, Anubhav nodded with angry eyes. "Dekhiye Mata ji hum jante hai aapki bhi ichha rahi hogi bete ki shaadi ki par...hamare yahan pakdva shaadi ka riwaj hai isliye humne aisa hume karna pada baki aap chahe toh apni ichhayen puri kar sakti hai hume koi samsya nhi hai aur na hamari behan ko hogi...waise bata rahe hai mata ji hamari jiji hai bahot hoshiyaar aapko kabhi koi shikaayat ka mauka nhi dengi...bas aap bhi mat dena hume shikaayat ka mauka...!" He said with an ear to ear smile.
