Qurbat is defined as closeness or nearness, the sudden closeness after marriage, especially arranged marriage. How do people actually cope with this nearness?
Karan and Devaki are newly wedded. Arranged marriage was not their first choice, but they...
Shahveer went to receive Rohit, Karan and Devaki from the airport.
"Ruke kaha hai sab? Tents?" Rohit asked. "Bandana boht time se plan kar rhi thi shayad, sab usne hi arrange kia. Resort book kia hai aur khud Sameeksha ke saath tree house me reh rahi" Shahveer said.
"Lo, pohonch gey" He said as they reached the resort.

Bandana was trying to convince Sameeksha, but she was not at all ready to leave the tree house and go to the resort.
Bandana was driving carefully from some minutes. "Eeeeeeeee yaha rukk!!!!" Sameeksha said suddenly. Bandana stopped the car. "Kitnaaaaa masttttt roaddd haiiii!!!" Sameeksha said. Bandana rolled her eyes. "Bhai yaha sab road ese honge" She replied.

"Agar tu na ruki to me so jaunghi" Sameeksha said, Bandana ignored her. Sameeksha closed her eyes.
After sometime Sameeksha felt the car stopping. She smirked. "Rok hi li na?" She asked. "In bhole bhaale janwaaro pe chadha du ab?" Bandana asked. Sameeksha opened her eyes and saw some elephants crossing the road ahead. She widened her eyes.
"Damn!!" She whispered. Bandana smiled.

"This is just..." Devaki was speechless as she looked out of the window. A small river was flowing at some distance from the resort. The weater was cloudy.
Karan hugged her from the back. "Boht accha weather yaha" She said, "aur romantic bhi" He said. She smiled. "Romance ke pare bhi ek duniya hoti hai" She said, "hame to hamari duniya se matlab hai" He said kissing her cheek.
"Iss duniya ki ser krau fir aapko?" She asked. "Please" He said. She smiled and turned. She pressed her lips against his. Karan took a couple of steps backwards due to the force of the kiss.
Karan smiled a bit. Devaki broke the kiss; her cheeks turned red.

Bandana and Sameeksha finally reached the resort. Shahveer was waiting for them at the entrance. Sameeksha came out of the car and Shahveer smiled looking at her. She gritted her teeth and turned. She smiled and made an angry face again. She went to him, "tumse to baat hi nhi karni!" She said and went, leaving him confused.
Bandana was going towards the entrance when her gaze fell on someone sitting on a bench. She found Rohit looking at her. "Hi" She said going to him. He kept quiet. "At least bta to deti ke yaha aa rhi ho!" He said. "Sorry" Bandana said lowering her lashes. He looked away.
"Ab dekhie na, poori life aapke saath hi to rehna hai...Sameeksha ko thoda waqt aur dena chahti thi me" She explained. "Me yeh nhi keh raha ke kyu aai yaha? Me sirf itna bol raha hu ke mujhe ek baar bta deti ke tum jaa rhi ho fir me nhi rokta" He said calmly. She kept quiet.
"Chalo jo hua so hua, bhool jao. Abhi ham jitne din yaha hai, enjoy krte hai" He said. She smiled. "Raat ho rhi hai, andar chale?" She asked. He nodded and they went inside.
Sameeksha saw Bandana and Rohit together. She went to Bandana and held her hand. Rohit looked at Sameeksha. She took Bandana away from him. "Haan haan le jao, fir usko mere saath hi rehna hai" He said. Sameeksha looked at Bandana helplessly. Bandana pointed at Shahveer. Sameeksha left her hand with a jerk. Bandana chuckled.
"Uss ghonchu se to door hi rehne de mujhe" Sameeksha said. "I'm not a ghonchu baby" Shahveer whispered in her ear. "Bandana, privacy naam ki bhi koi cheez hoti hai. Go to your champu" He said. "Abey eh dhakkan! Aage se Rohit to champu kaha to teri daarhi kaat dungi!" Bandana said and left. Sameeksha burst into a laughter.
