Ye Ishq Nehi Aasan

Part 6

Next day Pallavi hands a customer a saree and Krishna takes the payment.

Krishna excitedly says: didi ajka din achha ja raha hai
Pallavi: ha krishna ab tak bahut sare customers aye hai. Aisa chalta raha to aj bahut kamai hogi.
K: chaliye didi lunch karlete hai

"Customers se deal karlia ,ab owner se deal karlo" comes the well known voice from behind. Both girls turn around and Raghav is smirking at them looking dashing in his suit and sunglasses.

K says silently to pallavi only: abhi bola tha din achha ja raha hai aur villain agaya din bura karne

K: mr rao aap yaha kese?
Raghav takes out his sunglasses and is having a staring competition with Pallavi.
Without looking at K he says: saree ka dukan tumhara assistant ko short term memory loss hua hai. Ye bhul gaya ki mei aj bhi is dukan ka owner hai aur tum mera tenant.
K very sweetly says: mera kehne ka matlab tha aap is vakt yaha kis kam se aye hai owner ji?
R: ab thik hai. Mera architect ko ye dukan dikhane ka tha.
P: raghav tum bhul rahe ho challenge khatam hone mei abhi time hai
R: saree ka dukan mai tumhara jaisa chota mota dukan chalane vala nehi hai. Mera time ka bahut value hai iss vaste mai sab kam time ka pehle hi plan karke rakhta hai. Mera time waste nahi hona.

P was fuming angrily and calling him 'ghamandi rao' in her mind.

R: mereko pata hai tum mereko apna mind mei gali de raha hoga par mai apna kam karke hi niklega. Saree ka assistant tum mera team ko tumhara dukan dikhane ka aur vo jo jo saval kare sahi se javab dena. Ardham ayinda?

K helplessly looks at P. P tells her to do whatever he is saying. K takes the team to show the shop.
Raghvi stands in a corner and watch them.

P sweetly but angry inside: mr rao kya aap apne kimti vakt mei se 2 minute muje de sakte hai?

He nods and she takes him to the small office space at the back of the shop.

She starts scolding: tum apne staff ke sath aye ho isliye unke samne kuch bola nehi maine. Ye sab karke kyu parishan kar rahe ho mujhe raghav? Maine tumhe 1 mahine ka rent dia tha na aur challenge pura hone mei bhi time hai.

She stops talking because he pulls her holding her waist and shuts her mouth with his lips. He lets go only after a long time when she taps on his chest going out of breath.

R: recently mereko ek bat pata chali. Tum janta hai vo konsa bat hai?

She is sitting on the chair and glaring at him angrily because he is still smirking and she is having difficulty catching her breath.
P in her mind: battamiz insan meri halat kharab karke has raha hai

He wipes his thumb over her lips gently.
R: tumhara jo lips hai usse sirf saree jitna lamba lamba lecture nakko aur bhi bahut kam hosakta hai.

Her cheeks start getting rosy from blush. She wanted to reply but Krishna and Farhad opens the door. She sees Pallavi sitting in the chair and Raghav standing infront of her.

K: didi maine mr rao ke log ko pura dukan achhe se dikha dia hai

R: fantastic! Good job saree ka assistant. Mai abhi chalta hai par zarurat padega to fir ayega.

R wears his sunglasses again and leaves.

K: didi aap thik ho?
P gets scared that K will find out: ha! Mai bilkul thik hu muje kya hoga? Mai bilkul thik hu. Ghamandi rao ko bhul ja. Chal khana khate hai.

Next day is Sunday and Pallavi comes to Raghav's house. Before security guard can stop her she goes inside without looking at him.

SG: ye madam aise andar ghusta hai jaise ghar inka hi ho aur anna bhi rokne ke liye nahi bolta

Pallavi asks Reddy.
Reddy: anna apne kamre mei hai par

He wanted to stop her but before it she was gone to his room. She comes outside the room and catches him doing Bharatnatyam. She was mesmerized to see his dance and secretly watches him for sometime.

He was dancing as if like a worship with complete concentration. He has physique of an athelete but he was no less elegance than a trained dancer.

After sometimes she enters the room. He sees her but he did not break his momentum. Then she starts doing Kathak in the leftover space of the room and he continues his Bharatnatyam.

Her hair and saree pallu flew along with the gracefulness of her dance steps making her look divine. Though the two dance forms were different they continued it in the same music. It did not look unchoreographed and impromptly done. It is looking like perfect mixture of two different worlds.

They stop with the end of music with grace of their dance forms and bow infront of the dance idol.

P: tum achha dance karte ho
R: ye mera vo kya kehta hai 'me time' hota hai. Kisiko allowed nakko mereko iss time disturb kare.
P: bohut acchi bat hai ye. Tum lucky ho tumhare pas me time ka option to hai.
R: kyu tum bhi to dance karta hai tum practice nehi karta?
P with sad tone: time kaha hota hai khudke liye kuch karne ka. Hafte bhar dukan sambhalo fir ghar ke kam aur weekend mei puradin ghar ka kam hota hai. Dance vance ka time nehi milta.
She said with sad smile. Quickly changes topic to him.
P: tum batao ki hyderabad ke don mei ye bharatnatyam ka talent kaha se aya?
R ignores her question : tum yaha kayko aya aaj?
P: rent dene ai thi
R: ye tum kal jab mai aya tha tab de sakta tha .kal kayko nei dia?
P takes out the envelope from her bag : tab paise nehi the par din ke ant tak pure paise mil gaye isliye aaj dene chali ai. Pure hai, ginlo.
R keeps the envelope on table: uska jarurat nehi. Tum dhokebaz nehi hai itna mereko andaja hogaya hai.
P: thik hai mai chalti hu
R: itna easily kese ja sakta hai tum

P: kya?
R: maine bola na ye mera 'me time' hai karke. mereko bharatnatyam ata hai ye top secret hona. Par tumne bina permission dekhlia ab iska penalty hona.
P gives him confused look.
R starts the music player and gives his hand: dance with me

P stares at hand for little time. She smiles and accepts his hand. They danced together for sometime with lots of twirls, lifts, giggles and smiles.

After the end of their dance session they sitting on the bed.
P: dance karke kitna accha lagta hai. Aisa lagta hai dunia ki sari tension dur hogai.
R: tumko practice karna chahie. Life kitna bhi busy ho apne liye time bananeka. Tum khudko priority nehi dega to dusra log tumhara value nehi karega.
She listened to his advice carefully and smiled.
P: mai yad rakhungi thank you

Now she leans forward and kisses him taking him by surprise. Her kiss was her way of accepting his advice as well as their forbidden relationship.
