DKP will probably not give vanraj a closure, but I will :)
This one is in hinglish.

- genre : romantic tragedy

Kyu na mitke jo fanaa ho
woh bhi pyaar ho
Na adhuri yeh kahaani
Na adhura yeh fasana
Marke bhi na hum kahenge - alvida

The Kapadia Mansion was dressed as beautiful as a bride.
But the beauty was not close to the beauty of it's to-be malkin.

They muhrat for marriage was late at night.
It was just dusk now.

Anupamaa Joshi sat on a seat before the dressing table, dressed like a goddess.
She wore a red saree, with beautiful golden embroidery.
It was finally her happiest day.

She was finally, remarrying the love of her life.
Her Prince Charming.
Her Soulmate.
The smile didn't leave her lips as the hair stylist stepped back.

"You look celestial ma'am.", She said.
Anupamaa looked up at herself.
Her heart skipped a beat.
Maybe it was the glint of joy in her eyes, the blush on her cheeks, the happiness that her heart carried - she couldn't help but acknowledge her own beauty.

She sat upright.

"Kya.. mai lag rahi hu unke layak?", She asked softly.
"Sure ma'am. Aap dono toh bilkul perfect couple lagenge.", The stylist said, beaming.

She straightened up on her seat, looking at herself.
Even with all this dressing up, she still did not think she was up to the mark.
Anuj Kapadia still deserved better than her.
She was so lucky to have the love of a man like him.

She looked at Kanha Ji's idol on the dressing table.

Kanha ji.. iss baar dhyan rakhcho.
She said in her mind.

Just then the lights went off.
She sighed, as she gave her Kanha ji narrowed eyes

"Oh no.. ma'am I'll check.", The stylist said immediately, rushing out.
Anupamaa nodded with a soft smile.

Shagun hai. Iske baad sab aacha hoga.
She thought.

Everything seemed perfect in her life.
Her daughter, Aadhya loved her now.
Her fiancee, Anuj loved her.
The Shahs did not hate her as much.
What could go wrong?

Just then she heard a voice.
She immediately recognised the deep, silky voice.

"Khush toh bohot hogi tum.", He said, as he stepped into the room.
It had been absolutely dark, but as he entered there seemed to be a light, following him.
The windows of the room opened due to the wind, as the moonlight poured in.

The room was suddenly filled with a glow of silver.

Anupamaa immediately stood up.

"Kaha the aap?! Maine suna aapne fraud kia-"

She paused, looking at him.
The clothes he wore.
