Rang Jau Tere Rang

Confession ???

Note : Here Ravi is somehow got convinced that Pratiksha is not bad at heart and it must be accident not murder and developed soft corner for her but he couldn't forget loss of keerti so keeps hating her.

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

Recap :

Ravi came after he changed his get up and Adi handed over swaying Pratiksha to him.

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

Ravi dragged pratiksha to corner while pratiksha scolded him "aap ho kon aur muze kaha le ja rahe ho"

"areh woh main apko rang dilwane jaa raha hu, aapne rang nahi lagaya hai na" replied Ravi taking her where colors kept on table in one corner and he handed over one red color thali to her but in process of releasing herself color splashed and spread on both mostly in pratiksha's hairline (as shown in mandir scene you know destiny's play). Pratiksha got angry on that "areh apne yeh kya kiya? She asked in anger.

"sorry soryy main abhi thik kar deta hu" saying he took her to rest room where no one was present as that time as most are busy in playing holi and enjoying event.

"par apne rang kyu nahi lagaya" he asked her while clearing some color from his dress

"mera man nahi hai, kehte hai suhagan ko pehele uska pati rang lagata hai par..." she became sad but again retorted back to him asked getting bit more angry "lekin yeh puchhnewale aap hote kon ho?" and watching him narrowing her eyes she said "apki muchhe toh bilkul malhar ji ke jaise hai"

'Har muchwala admi malhar hota hai kya? Aur yeh Pakau Pratiksha us Bhukhar ko thodi der ke liye bhi nahi bhulti kya! muz mein bhi use who dikhta hai?' thought Ravi irritately. 'muchhe ugaane se koi brave nahi ban jata, woh toh meri tar jigarwala chahiye !' he self praised himself.

He asked purpose fully 'woh kon hai, apke pati?'

"nahi nahi meri shadi unse honewali thi lekin who ravi hai na unhone mere saath jabardasti shaadi ki aur ... aur muze chhod diya" and she started crying

He didn't know why he felt bad seeing her crying.  Whereas he should feel happy that he is getting his revenge on her. Now he couldn't able to think what to do, how to stop her. He pulled her in hug and try to make stop her crying. She relaxed a bit in his embrace and her hiccups lessened, he also got relieved. In order to sooth her, he started caressing her back and now his hand can feel her soft skin of her exposed back through her open back choli tied with knot as her chunari was shifted aside. She felt familiar in his touch and she raised her head which was resting on his shoulder and stared in his eyes searching for any connection. He also stared back in her eyes and they lost in each other eyes and found something attracting them. Slowly his eyes lowered from her eyes to her lips and he noticed that she was wearing the same pink shade of lipstick which he signaled her, will suit her perfectly in mirror reflection yesterday at holi shopping and then Kavya dragged him and she thought its her illusion. It made him happy that she wore lipstick shade which he signaled her.  "How beautiful are her lips looking with this pink shade just like soft rose petals! How those will taste? Thought came to his mind and he started lowering his head to match hers. She also in haze lowered her eyelashes feeling his warm breaths over her lips. He touched her lips with his and waited for her response. But there was no denial from her side. She was simply standing keeping her eyes closed. Taking it as her approval he started kissing her ever lightly and slowly while his hand were kept caressing soft skin of her back. He was feeling heavenly while tasting those pink petals of her lips. He was lost in his own world of pleasure. 

Realization struck to him when she started to wriggle and free herself from his grip which broke his trance.  Ohh so it was his dream!. 

'yeh kya ho raha hai Ravi tuze, tu toh isasae nafrat karta hai! tuze isase badla lena hai!..... '

'lekin woh dil ki itani buri nahi hai! maine realize kiya hai!...'  His mind fought with his heart. 

She came out of his embrace as she felt good. His embrace, caring, reminded her time, once Ravi soothed her, gave courage to her, when she ran from Malharji, when Malharji tried to misbehave with her and she ran escaping from him and collided with Ravi.

"Aap kitane achhe ho! na ke mere pati ke jaise! us Rattu Ravi ke tarah, jisne muz se jabardasti shadi ki aur chhod diya! Jab ki meri shadi malharji se honewali thi" she said making him little angry.

He asked her "kya aap Malhar ji se pyar karti hai ? aur unse shadi karna chahti hai?

She hesitated for few seconds and said "nahi nahi asie baat nahi hai, woh toh Malhar ji se meri arranged marriage ho rahi thi lekin Ravi ne jabardasti muz se shadi ki? She answered quickly.

"Toh aap Ravi se hate karti hai?" he asked. 

"nahi aise baat nahi hai" she said hesitatingly

Ravi thought "she doesn't hate you! tune itna sab kiya uske saath fir bhi?"  

"toh chhod kyu diya Ravi ne? Apne kya bigada hai uska" he asked to keep conversation moving on. She answered " kyu ke woh samjhate hai Keerti ko maine mara, jab ke maine use nahi mara"

"tum zoot bol rahi ho, tumne hi use mara gaadi ke niche kuchal ke" he said in rage as he remembered dying keerti in his arms.

"nahi nahi maine nahi mara Keertiji ko, main kyu marungi? who toh muze bohot achhi lagti thi' she replied quickly to clear misunderstanding which was she not able to do with Ravi yet.

"lekin video mein toh tum hi car ke pass khadi thi, aise saboot dikhate hai' he again spat anger feeling in his mind.

"woh toh main sirf paper dikhane k liye khadi thi' she replied in turn.

'lekin paper tum dikha rahi thi matlab car bhi tum chala rahi thi' he retorted back.

"nahi main nahi chala rahi thi car... woh toh ma...." she was about to speak when someone called her and she exclaimed  in response "manaliiii!" waving in that voice direction.

While Ravi didn't wanted to loose on information which was he getting that she was about to speak. 

"aage bolo pratiksha" he said holding her shoulders shaking her while she released herself from his grip finding someone more familiar to her "manali tum yaha" the girl came forward and dragged pratiksha with herself saying 'tum yaha kya kar rahi ho? waha kinjal, parul aur chachu tumhe kab se dhundh rahe hai"

She was gone giving half information, while ravi stood there, his mind thinking if she was not driving the car then who was and that too with name starting ma.... who was with her at that time. The truth which I am believing or seeing is half truth which is not good. I have to find the  whole truth and with that determination he left the venue.
