Kuchh Ankahi Baatein

Admission

Five months passed...

Time flies and result for 12th grade also declares. All their hard work pays well, and they all scored good, and Naina topped with 96% in whole state.

Anand returned home in evening, "Naina, Preeti kahaan ho... dekho mein tumhare admission forms le aaya hun.... Bela kahaan hai donon...."

Bela replied slowly, "jee voh apne kamre mein hai... aap vahin chale jaiye mein chai lekar aati hun"

Anand asked worriedly, "kya hua bela... kuchh baat hui hai kya..."

Bela replied feeling sad, "aap khud hi dekh lijiye... subah se Preeti naaraz ghoom rahi hai, kisi se baat hi nahin kar rahi aur Naina ka toh aapko pata hi hai... kuchh bolti hi nahin..."

Anand taking a deep breath, "koi baat nahin Bela... mein dekhta hun donon ko... tum jaanti ho na donon kitni emotional hai aur ek dusre ke liye jaan bhi de sakti hai... tum chalo hum baat karte hai donon se"

They entered in girls' room and see both are sitting in either side of bed sadly...

Anand smiled, "Preeti, Naina dekho mein tumhare college ke admission form le aaya hun... VJN University ke, Ahmadabad ka top ka college hai... tum chahti thi na iss college mein admission lena aur tum donon ke marks itne achchhe hai ki admission mein koi problem hi nahin hoga"

Preeti (in anger tone), "toh kya karun... mujhe koi aadmission nahin chachiye.. aap form phaad do aur khabardaar mujhse dobara kisi ne college jaane ki baat ki toh"

Naina (in pleasing tone), "dekh Preeti, tu samajh kyun nahin rahi hai... meri wajah se tu bhi college na jaaye toh mujhe achchha nahin lagega... Please maan ja na meri baat"

She turned to Chachaji asking for his support, "please aap hi isse samjhao na... meri toh sun hi nahin rahi hai... aap kahoge toh maan jayegi"

Preeti gets more annoyed, "haan haan, mein to paagal hun na.. mujhe toh kuchh samajh hi nahin hai.. har kisi ko apane man ki karni hai par mein kya chahti hun usase kisi ko matlab nahin... aur jab koi meri nahin manta toh mein bhi kisi ki baat nahin sunungi"

Chachaji finally spoke, "Naina beta, pata nahin kya galat hai kya sahi... par mujhe lagta hai is baar Preeti sahi kah rahi hai... tumhein iss tarah apne aap ko chaar diwari mein bandh nahin karna chahiye"

Preeti gets happy seeing her father supporting her, "dekha, papa bhi yahi chahte hai... sun le Naina, agar tune admission nahin liya na to mein bhi nahin lungi... jayenge toh donon varna tu jaanti hai mujhe toh vaise bhi jyaada padaai ka shok nahin" she said threatening her to stop her studies without her

Naina, "arey par maine admission lene se mana kab kiya... mein bhi to B.Com karna chahti hun... mein sirf itna kah rahi hun ki mein aage ki padai correspondence karna chahti hun... tu meri itani si baat nahin maan sakti... aur phir padaai hum ghar par ek saath hi toh karenge"

Preeti, "Naina yeh mera aakhiri faisla hai ki agar college jayenge to donon varna koi bhi nahin.. aur tu jaanti hai mein toh phir correspondence ka form bhi nahin bharungi... saari zindagi 12th pass hi kahalwaungi... sab teri wajah se hoga..."

Anand Bela keep on listening their nok jhonk... finally, Anand intervene.

Anand hold her hand softly, "Naina beta, idhar dekho aur meri baat dhyan se suno, par aakhiri faisla tumhara hi hoga.. pakka..." he took a deep breath and continued... "Naina jis din tum paida hui thi aur Rama Bhabhi ne tumhe mujhe saupa tha, us din maine khud se ek vada kiya tha ki zindagi mein kitni bhi badi mushkil aaye mein tumhara saath kabhi nahin chhodunga... tumhe kabhi kamjor nahin padne dunga... na hi kabhi tumhe haarne dunga.. aur sach kahun maine puri imaandari se yeh vada nibhane ki koshish bhi ki hai..
