AAYAT'S POV:

its already been one month since i got engaged and i'll be getting married in a few days. its just too overwhelming. everything happened soo fast. it's not that i am being forced into this marriage or its happening against my wishes, but the thought of leaving behind the people i love makes it so hard. here i am sitting all ready for my haldi while all the others are preparing for the function. there's chaos around me everywhere. all the people busy in different types of work, but my eyes were scanning for that one figure for whom i could do anything. that is when i spotted him. my first love. MY BABA.

just a look at him and i realize that just in a few days, seeing him everyday won't be in my routine anymore. that thought alone makes me want to burst out crying. i just wanted to spend as much time as possible with him. he was talking to a guest, but all i could think about is how badly i want him by my side. how badly i want to lean my head on his shoulder and feel the safety that i felt nowhere else. just like telepathy, he suddenly turned towards me. he started walking towards me with a soft smile on his face. he can fool the whole world with that smile and happy facade he's put on. but i can clearly see the sadness lining his eyes. he reached beside me and took a seat.

i couldn't resist and rested my head on his shoulder followed by a long, relived and a contented sigh. we both sat like that for a few minutes in a comfortable silence. the silence between us spoke about a lot of things which couldn't be expressed verbally, i could feel my baba being both strong and vulnerable, happy and sad at the same side. i was lost in my own thoughts when he called my name.

BABA: aayat mera baccha. chodke chali jaayegi mujhe kuch dino mei. itni badi kaise hogayi tu? aisa lagta hai jaise kal hi tere school ka pehla din tha.

(aayat my child. you'll leave me in a few days. when did you grow up so much? it feels like yesterday when it was your first day of school.)

AAYAT: aaj bhi kahan badi hui hu baba. aaj bhi toh aapki bacchi hi hu. aur hamesha rahungi.

(i am not a grown up today as well baba. i am still your little daughter and i will always be your little daughter.)

BABA: aayat bete, don't ever think that baba got you married to get rid of you or you were a burden to me. you are the most precious thing i've ever had my love.

asim ko maine dekha hai mere bacche. bohot accha ladka hai. uski aankhon mei mujhe sacchai dikhti hai. usme woh junoon dikhta hai mujhe. koi yeh baat maane ya na maane, lekin beta.. mai itna zarur kahunga ki asim tumhaara bohot acche se khayal rakhega. mujhse bhi accha. woh tumhe bhot khush rakhega mere bete.. kahin wahan jaake apne iss boodhe baba ko bhool matt jaana. aakhir tumhaare alawa mera hai hi kon?

(i've seen asim, my child. he's a great guy. i see the truth in his eyes. i see that passion. no matter if people believe me or not, but beta.. i can assure you that asim will take very good care of you. he'll treat you better than i have ever treated you. he'll keep you very happy. my child, don't forget this old father of yours after going there. in the end, you are the only one i have.)

AAYAT: aapse accha mera khayal koi nahi rakhsakta baba. aap jaisa koi nai hosakta. aur kya boodhe baba haan? kisise bhi puchiye, kisi jawan ladke se kam nahi lagte aap. aur agar amma ne sunliya na ki aapka mere alawa aur koi nahi, toh phir haldi chodiya, mirch se aapke chehre ki chamak badhayegi woh.

(no one can treat me better than you dad. no one can be like you. and what do you mean old father huh? ask anyone if you want, you don't look any less than a young lad. and if mom listens to you telling that you have no one else except me.. then forget the turmeric paste, she'll make your face glow with chilli powder.)

BABA: yahi toh baat hai na beta. tere jaane ke baad kon bachayega teri maa se mujhe? woh toh pakode bhi nai degi.

(that's the matter beta. who'll save me from your mom's wrath after you're gone? she won't even give me pakodas.)

AAYAT: arre baba, mai konsa saat samudra paar jaa rahin hu. jab bhi amma aapko pareshaan kare aap bas mujhe ek phone kardena, mai aapko bachane aajaungi, aur saathme pakode bhi leke aaya karungi!

(oh baba, i am not going anywhere far from here. whenever mom troubles you i am just a call away. i'll come and save you and i'll get the pakodas too!)

BABA: tum betiyan bhi ajeeb hi ho. saari zindagi bina kisi takleef ke, bina koi pareshaani diye badi hojaati ho aur pata bhi nahi chalta. lekin jis din sasuraal jaati ho, zindagi bhar ka dukh ek saath de jaati ho. baba loves you aayat beta, never doubt that.

(you daughters are really something. all your life you give us no troubles and grow up just like that. but when you get married and leave, you give a whole lifetime's worth sadness and leave.)
