Qurbat - A Nuptial Knot

Dinner with Rohit

Jai Hind College...
Bandana and Shahveer were interrogating Sumedh.

"Yeh Priyank aur Himani ke beech sab theek tha?" Bandana suddenly asked. "Yes Ma'am, sab theek tha" Sumedh replied. "Himani kispe zada bharosa karti thi? Tumpe ya Priyank pe?" She asked. "Ma'am yeh kesa sawaal hua bhala?" He chuckled.

"Chodo...ham chalte hai" She said. He nodded.

"Umm...Ma'am, ek baat thi, par shayad Priyank ne btaya ho aapko" He said. "Kya?" Bandana asked. "Himani aur Priyank ka jhagda ho gaya tha...woh dono almost do hafto se ek dusre se baat nhi kar rhe the" He said.

Bandana and Shahveer looked at each other. "Priyank ne to esa kucch nhi btaya" Shahveer said. "Kyu hua tha jhagda? Kucch pta hai?" Bandana asked. "Haan Ma'am, actually Priyank ko mera aur Himani ka milna psand nhi tha. Ham boht acche dost the par pta nhi kyu, meri aur Himani ki zadikiya usko hamesha khatakti thi" Sumedh explained.

"Kammal hai, Priyank ne ek baar bhi iss baat ka zikar nhi kia" Bandana chuckled, "anyways, thank you Sumedh" Bandana said and they left.

"Priyank ko phone lagake poocho woh kaha hai, hame milna hai usse" Bandana said to Shahveer. He nodded.

"Hi Priyank, Officer Shahveer here. Kaha ho tum?" Shahveer asked. "Sir me Trident Hotel aaya hu" Priyank replied. "Kyu? Kya hua, gharwalo ne ghar se bahar nikaal dia?" Shahveer chuckled. "Nhi Sir...kisi se milne aaya tha" Priyank said.

"Accha Jai Hind College aa sakte ho milne?" Shahveer asked. "Ermm, aata hu Sir" Priyank said and ended the call.

"Yehi bula lia" Shahveer said, Bandana nodded.

Priyank came afrer sometime.

"Kya baat hai? Aap logo ne achanak bulaya?" Priyank asked. "Priyank tum Sumedh ko psand nhi karte the?" Bandana asked. Priyank lowered his lashes. "Ma'am...woh Sumedh mera boht accha dost hai, lekin mujhe kabhi Himani ke lie sahi nhi laga woh...woh uska perfect match nhi lagta tha in short" Priyank said.

"Perfect match to koi nhi hota...use bnana padta hai" Bandana said looking at Shahveer. "Aur mene kaha tha na sab sach sach btana? Fir tumne yeh baat kyu chupai ke tumhara aur Himani ka jhagda bhi hua tha?" Bandana asked.

"H...hamara jhagda? Nhi Ma'am, esa nhi hai" He said. "Jhoot mat bolo, varna yehi..." Shahveer said gritting his teeth. Bandana held his wrist. "Sach btao Priyank, varna Shahveer se zada gussa mujhe aata hai" Bandana said.

"Jhagda hua tha ham dono ka. Boht dino takk usne mujhse baat nhi ki. Ek din woh Sumedh se milne geyi to mene uska peecha kia. Sumedh ne usse samjhaya ke usse mujhse jhagda nhi karna chahiye...fir me samajh gaya ke Sumedh accha ladka hai. Jis din Himani gayab hui uss din woh Sumedh se milne waali thi, mujhe laga Sumedh fass jaega iss lie mene jhooth bola ke woh uss din mujhe kucch btane wali thi" Priyank narrated.

"Koi aur baat hai jo tumne hame na btai ho?" Bandana asked. He shook his head. "Jaa sakte ho" Shahveer said. Priyank left.

Negi Nivaas...
Sameeksha was preparing dinner when Rohit called her. She smiled looking at the screen. "Bako" She said. "Raatko khane pe wait krna" He said. "Kyu?" She asked. "Kyu ki tumhare saath khaana thoosne ka mann hai aaj" He replied. She chuckled. "Theek hai...kucch special khaoghe?" She asked. "Naah, jo bana hai wahi kha lunga" He said. "Cool" She said.

Sameeksha was sitting at the dining table when Devaki came. "Arey tum soi nhi?" She asked. "Nhi Bhabhi, Rohit ne kaha tha khana saathme khaenge, to uska hi wait kr rhi hu" Sameeksha replied. "Sab ne kha lia, tum bhi khalo, kya pta woh kab aae" Devaki said. "Nhi Bhabhi, aap jao, me uska wait karti hu" Sameeksha said. Devaki nodded and went to bed.

Sameeksha was tired and she fell asleep while waiting for him.

"Sameeksha" Rohit called her. "Sameeksha utho" He said caressing her hair. "Yeh to uth hi nhi rahi...bina khae so geyi. Sameeksha utho" He said tapping on her cheek.

She finally woke up. He smiled. "Sorry, late ho gaya me" He said, "nhi nhi, thoda aur jaldi aa jaate! Abhi to 11:30 hi bje hai" She said. He chuckled. "Chalo tum betho, me khana leke aata hu" He said.

"Me le aati hu" She said. "Accha chalo dono laate hai" He said. She nodded and they took food to the dining table.

"Itna late kese hue?" She asked while eating. "Arey kya btau...ek scene tha, usme mujhe apni co-star ko cheek pe kiss krna tha. Baar baar kiss kar raha me usse aur uski hasi choot jaati thi. At least 10-12 baar kiss kia mene usse" He said laughing.

Sameeksha made a serious face. "Sharam nhi aati? Biwi ke hote hue kisi aur kiss ko karte ho?" She asked. "Sharam to nhi aati...par kya karu, biwi haath hi nhi lagane deti" He said. She looked at him angrily.
