Drunk Wife

In the evening,

Karan was sitting in his room. He was ready for his mehandi and sangeet.

Karan: Aaj mehandi h.. Kal shaadi.. Damn it.. Main kaise rokuga sab.. I am not ready for this..

Rishabh: Toh back out krle..

Karan saw Rishabh at door.

Karan: Rishabh..

Rishabh : Karan.. Tu yeh baat ache se jaanta h kii tu Mahira se shaadi krna nhi chahta.. Phir kyu tu apni or uski zindagi ke saath khel rha h..

Karan: Par bhai engagement ho chuki h.. Aur koi reason bhi toh nhi h.. Mahira mujhse puchegi toh kya kahuga use..

Rishabh: Tu toh Preeta ji se shaadi krne ke baad bhi piche hatt gya tha na.. Yaha toh sirf engagement hui h.. Krle back out..

Karan was hurt at his statement.

Karan: Bhai.. Preeta ki baat..

Sameer came running to them.

Sameer(breathing heavily) : Bhai.. Vo Preeta..

Karan: Kya Preeta...

Sameer: Wo aapki mehandi attend krne aayi h... Niche...

Karan(shocked): What..

Karan rushed downstairs followed by Sameer and Rishabh.

Kareena: Tum yaha kyu aayi ho..

Preeta: Mere pati ki mehandi h.. Mera haq h iss ghar mein aane ka..

Rakhi: Preeta puttar..

Everybody stopped seeing Karan. Karan glared Preeta.

Preeta(looking at him from top to bottom) : Ache ho nhi par thik lag rhe ho..

Karan: Tumse pucha maine.. Kya krne aayi ho yaha..

Preeta: Arre ab hmara itna gehra rishta hone ke bavjod bhi mujhe apni shaadi mein nhi bulaoge.. How mean..

Kareena: You.. Middle Class..

Preeta : Nhi Kareena aunty.. Class aur standard pr mt jayiye.. Filhaal jo aapka class h.. Vo hi mera h.. Toh soch smjh kr boliyega.. He married me.. It was his choice.. His decision..

Karan(glaring her) : Welcome.. Sorry.. Bulaya nhi.. Aaj mehandi h.. Kal shaadi.. You should come

Preeta(smiling bitterly) : Thank u.. Now will u please excuse me...

Preeta went past him. Their hands touched. She turned and saw the bandage on his hand.

Dadi: Mahira.. Aa puttar..

Preeta looked at Mahira coming down with her mom. She went and stood in a corner. Mahira saw Preeta but everybody signed her not to react.

Mahira stood besides Karan. Preeta pretended as if she didn't care but deep down, she wanted to tell that dumb girl that it was her place, her husband, her destiny.

Mahira's mom: Toh rasam shuru krte h..

Karan and Mahira sat together. Preeta turned her face away and wiped the tear that escaped the corner of her eye. Karan was noticing her only.

Karan(in mind) : Ache se pata h.. Yaha aane se ise hi takleef hogi phir bhi.. Ya phir tumhe sach mein farq nhi pdta h..

Preeta(in mind) : Usne tujhe toda h Preeta.. Mt kar uss ki fikr.. Tujhe koi farq nhi pdhna chahiye.. Woh kisi ke saath ho...

Girls started applying Mehandi on Mahira's hands. Music and dance too started.

Rakhi: Karan Puttar.. Tujhe bhi mehandi lagwani h.. Haath badha..
