Barmer, Rajasthan
1950

"Wah wah! Kya baat hai prince of Barmer, kya kehne apki talvaar baazi ke hum to apke kayal ho gaye." He said praising him.

"Rajveer aap, aap kab laute? hume kisi ne bataya bhi nahi, kaise hai aap?". He asked and was going to hug him when stopped realising his messed up state.

Rajveer smiled at him, came forward and hugged him "aaj subha hi lauta, or meine hi sabko tumko batane se mana kia, i wanted to surprise you...and to answer your last question, I am....hot, smart handsome...and..........." Abhimanyu cutted him in between.

"Sexy...and you know it". They both laughed heartily.

"Tum kaise ho"? Asked Rajveer.

"Aap hi ke bade bhai hai har chiz mein do kadam agey hi rahenge". He smiled mischievously.

"Well i can clearly see that big brother." Replied slyly implying at his second marriage.

"Or batao... Kahi dill lagaya ya fir aj bhi aise hi apni hatheli pe dill leke ghum rahe ho."

"Kamal ho gya hai.. jabse aya hu tabse yahi sun raha hu.. sabko mere dil ki chinta padi hai... Mein kisi ko hasta khelta pasand nahi kya" he said amused.

"Ok Ok I am sorry ab hum iss bare mein bat nahi karenge.. Fine." They smiled.

"Dakhal dene ke liye Maaf karna Kawarsa, Lekin Raja Sa ne apko khana khane ke liye bulaya hai.." said a messenger.

"Thik hai aap jaiye.. hum aa rahe hai" Abhimanyu said and he left not before bowing him.

They began to walk towards dinning hall when Abhimanyu saw Naina coming towards their direction.. he remembers that night when he shattered all the dreams of her happy married life. He was reponsible of all her miseries, he know that after destroying Sunidhi's happiness... In his rage, helplessness, cowardness, inabilities, anger... he did the same with Sunaina...  He know that he is the guilty one but he can't help it he can't admit it... Too much blind in his so called pride and male ego. After all he is the PRINCE and a Prince should have to be perfect in everyway.

Naina saw him and shivered when she gets a glimpse of that night.. the night which destroyed the every foundation of a happy life... Sadness again clouded in her eyes.

*FlashBack*

****"Dur hatiye humse"****

****"Un ghatiya aurto ki tarah bar bar hamare kareeb mat ayiye"****

****"Sirf shaadi ki hai, apni patni hone ka hakk nahi diya hai"****

****"Humne apni zindagi mein sirf ek hi aurat se pyaar kiya hai aur marte dam tak unhi karte rahenge"****

****"Itni badi riysat ki choti Rani kehlane  ka darja mila hai jo apne apne sapne me bhi nahi socha hoga, usi me khush rahiye, uske siwa iss rishte se or koi umeed mat rakhiya ga samjhi"****

****"Hamare bich ki baat hamare bich hi rehni chahiye or isi raat ke sath dafan ho jani chahiye.. warna aap to janti hi hai ki Rajpurohit jee ki tabiyat nazuk hai use or bigadte der nahi lagegi."****

*FlashBack Ends*

His words of that night still rings in her ears... How her every dreams, Hopes, expections from this marriage broke with his stone like words.

They approached the dinning area and sat down on the chair for dinner Naina saw Rajveer sitting beside Abhimanyu, she poked Sunidhi and whispers in her ear.

"Jeeji... Ye sevak unke sath kyu baitha hai... Isey dant khani hai kya.. isey mahal ke taur tarike nahi pata kya".

"Kya bole ja rahi hai aap... Wo sevak thodi hai... Wo toh" before she could say something her Mother in law and Father in law enters in dinning hall and they went silent.

"Choti bahu" Randhir chauhan called Naina "inse miliye ye hai hamre parivaar ke sadasya... Rajveer, hamare bhatije ya yu kahe ke hamare dusre bete... Or Rajveer ye hai apki choti Bhabi sa" he announced.

Naina was shocked will be understament she was left numb
to react at the revelation while Rajveer was smirking and enjoying her reaction... "Of course baba sa mein janta hu ye kaun hai after all mere ghar aye hi sabse pehele inhone hi to mere swagat kia tha.. and let me tell you... Aj tak kisi ne mera aisa swagat nahi kia jaisa ki choti rani sa ne kia" he said in sly tone.

"Acha aisa bhi kya swagat kia inhone... Jo apko itna pasand aya" asked Gayatri Devi curiously.

"Arey ye sab batein to hoti rahengi
. Chaliye sab khana kha lete hai.. iss tarah khane ko intezaar karana achii baat nahi" Sunidhi intervenes.

"Haa... Sunidhi bai thik keh rahi hai... Chaliye khana khaiye.." said Randhir.. and they all ate their food in silence while Naina was lost in her thoughts and Rajveer thoroughly enjoyed her expressions more than the food which was made specially for him.

*********************************
She was pacing in garden area Mumbling something under her breath "hum bhi na kuch bhi bak bak karte hai... Kisi ko bhi kuch bhi keh dete hai ye bhi nahi sochte ki samne wala kaun hai... Hey bhagwaan humse kitni badi galati ho gayi Mahal ke kuwar sa ko kitna kuch suna diya bina kuch bole kahe...." She was biting her nails "agar unhone hamari shikayat Maa sa se kar di tohhh??" She widened her eyes intension.

"Nahi karunga" she turned around and saw him stading with a smile .

"Kuwar sa aap... Hume maaf kar dijiyega, hume pata nahi tha aap kaun hai..." She said worriedly.

"Mein apki shikayat kisi se nahi karunga" she took breath of relief. "After all mujhe maloom hai ki kab kaha kiss se kaise behave karna chahiye yun hi jhansi ki rani ki tarah kisi pe chadh nahi jate hai". His statement irked her.

"Kya matlab hai apka ki hum ladaka hai..." She made an angry face "agar aisi hi baat hai to apne bhi to sach chupaya... Apna kaha apni sachai ke bare me btaya ki aap iss mahal ke chote kunwar hai... Apne hamare sath dhoka kia".

"Maine kaunsa dhoka kiya... Meine koi jhoot nahi bola. "He said defending himself.

"Apne jhut nahi bola.. lekin apne sach bhi to nahi bola.. pata hai hume kitna bura lag raha hai... Sunidhi jeeji pata nahi hamare bare me kya kya soch rahi hongi.. kaisi ajeeb ladki hai" she said making a crying face "sab apki galati hai".

"Arey meri galati kaise... Tumne meri baat suni hi nahi bas bewakoofo ki tarah apni zubaan ki rail gaadi chalaye ja rahi thi".

"apne hume bewakoof kaha" She started crying "apne hume bewakoof kaha....." He got panicked "hume aaj tak kisi ne bewakoof nahi kaha.. baba sa ne bhi nahi or aap hume bewakoof keh rahe hai... Sab humko sayani bolti hai or aap hume bewakoof kaha"

"Nahi nahi nahi... Mera wo matlab nahi that dekho chup ho jao.. please please look I am really sorry.." she was still crying "kya bacchi hai ye" he said under his breath "are bewakoof to mein hu meine hi tumhare sath prank kia see... I am sorry galati meri thi ab to chup ho jao" he saw her getting calm, and took a sigh of relief. "Thankyou".

"To aap mante hai ki galati apki thi" she asked.

"Haan... Mein manta hu galati meri thi mujhe aise mazak nahi karna chahiye tha tumhe pehle hi sach bata dena chahiye tha".

"Agar pehle hi aap mann jate to hame itne annsu na bahane padte... Humne to pehle hi kaha tha ki apki galati hai lekin apne hi nahi mani khama kha hamari itni mehnat kara di... Khair choddiye...raat ho gayi hai.. hum ja rahe hai...shubh ratri" she left happily leaving him shocked with open mouth.

"Ye kya chalu cheez hai". He was left standing in amazement.
