They both left of the tour of Jaitsar. They reached the fair and enjoyed the rides and food.

"Shiv ek cotton candy khate hai na" she jump in excitement when she saw the stall.

"Acha chalo" they went near the stall.

"Bhaiya jaldi se badhiya sa bada do" she lick her lips. He chuckle on her reaction.

"Tum kabhi nahi badlogi na abhi bhi wo baccho wali harkate".

"Pata hai insaan ko badalna bhi nahi chahiye jese ho wese hi raho warna phir log fyda uthate hai" she said while taking the cotton candy in her hand from the shopkeeper. "Ye lijiye paise bhaiya".

"Are mein de raha hu na" shiv said.

"Nahi shiv mein de dungi aur de kya dungi paise mein hi dungi" she give him the money but the shopkeeper declined.

"Madam ji aap collector sahab ke saath aai hai aapse kese paise".

"Kiu bhaiya ye kya aapko mahine ke paise dete hai?".

The shopkeeper and shiv widened their eyes and saw her. She giggle "nahi na to ye rakho aap aapki mehnat ki kamai hai" she forcefully give him the money.

"Kya baat hai itna Dimag hai tumhare pass".

"Shut up okay aese hi cardiologist nahi bani mein".

"Ha ha sab pata hai mujhe

"Are wo dekho anandi" she rise her hand to show her where they are. She came near them.

"Sorry late ho gaya".

"Nahi nahi aap time par ho aur shukar hai time par aa gai aapka ye pati mujhe paka hi rahe the".

Shiv fake glare her, she giggle on his expressions.

"Aao guys photos click karte hai mummy ko bhejna hai mujhe" she take out her phone. "Pehle aap dono aao ek achi si husband wife ki pic leti hu".

They stand side by side with a safe distance between them.

"Are India Pakistan ka border mat bano pass pass aao dono" shehnaaz said angrily.

Shiv place his hand on anandi while blushing but she moved away and left from there.

"Inko kya hua?" Shehnaaz asked to shiv.

He feel embarrassed, insulting yet hurt with her behavior. But he thought maybe she was uncomfortable.

"Kuch nahi chale aage" he said.

"Okay".

They went near her and saw her. She bought some bangles for her.

"Haaye i love this typical Rajasthani chudiya and kade".

"To lo na ek kaam karo aunty ke liye bhi le lo" shiv said.

"Okay let me see" she pick some bangles and try them but didn't like anyone. Her eyes fall on one particular set of bangles and she falling in love with them at first sight.

"Bhaiya wo dikhana" both anandi and shehnaaz said together and look at eachother.

"Madam ji ye to ek hi set bacha hai kisko dikhau".

"Aap inko de do" shehnaaz said.

"Nahi aap le lijiye aap mehman hai hamari".

"Are nahi nahi mehmaan to hu nahi mein lekin ye aap le lo mein dusri dekh lungi"

"Nahi aap hi le lijiye".

The shopkeeper look at shiv for help but he feel also confused.

"Are anandi aap rakho in future mein kuch maang lungi jab de dena" she said and start trying other bangles.

They complete their shopping and stop at dhaba to eat something. Anandi and shiv didn't talk with eachother which is unnoticed by shehnaaz. She thought to give them privacy.

"Guys mujhe na ek call karna hai mein abhi aai" she said left from there.

"Anandi khaiye na" he said politely.

"Nahi mujhe ye nahi khana".

"Theek hai mein kuch aur maangwa deta hu"

"Uski zarurat nahi hai mujhe bhook nahi hai aur na faltu waqt hai mujhe kuch Zaruri kaam hai mein nikalti hu" she stood up to left but shiv held her hand.

"Abhi to ruk jaiye shehnaaz ko aane de phir mein khudh chod dunga aapko"

She freed her hand "uski zarurat nahi hai gadi hai mere pass" she said and left from there.

Shehnaaz came there after 10 minutes "to kesi rahi 10 minute ki date yaar pata hai mein to aur time dena chahati thi but kya hai ye kambhakht bhook jeene nahi deti" she notice his spoiled mood and notice anandi was not there. "Shiv anandi kaha gai?"

He took a deep breathe "unko kuch kaam aa gaya tha to chali gai tum khana khaao na" he start eating food silently ignoring the eye contact. She found it weird but thought to talk with him later.

"Choti maa shiv aur anandi ki shadi kese hui?" Shehnaaz asked when choti maa give her champi at night.

"Beta kya karna hai jaankar chod na".

"Nahi naa bataiye na I'm excited wo boring insaan to batane se rahe"

"Hmm itna keh rahi ho to suno ye to jaanti ho na anandi yaha ki sarpanch hai".

She nodded "ha ye to pata hai".

"Ha to jab shiv ka yaha transfer hua tha tab dono ki pehli mulakat hui thi shiv ne jaan bachai thi unki phir kya hamare shiv ko ho gaya pyaar unse"

"Aur anandi ko?".

"Pata nahi".

"Kiu?"

"Kiuki wo shyd apne ex husband se bahar hi nahi aa pai hai".

She turn and look at her in shocked "ex husband?"

"Ha ex husband anandi ka jagya un dono ki bachpan me shadi hui thi".

"Ek second ek second u mean child marriage?"

"Haa tumhe to pata hai na ye Rajasthan me pehle se chalte aa raha hai bass anandi bhi ushi ka shikar thi lekin jab badi hui to uske pati ne usko cheat kiya, wo sheher gaya tha padhne aur waha kisi Aur se pyaar kar betha"

"Kitna bura hai anandi ke saath acha hua shiv ne unse shadi ki".

"Ha acha to nahi hua lekin"

"Choti maa i know anandi wese nahi hai jesi aapko shiv ke liye wife chahiye thi magar sabko time lagta hai na unko bhi waqt de aap"

"Hmm samjhti hu mein lekin kassh tum pehle aa jaati to tumhari aur shiv ki shadi kara deti mein" she said with a smile and again start doing her massage. Shehnaaz smile sadly.

"Life me har wo cheez jo hum chahe hume mil jaaye aesa to nahi hota na"

"Acha ji aur ye hamari bacchi itni badi badi baatein kab se karne lagi".

She giggle "bass waqt ne kiya apna hasi sitam"

"Hmm wese mujhe to nahi lekin tumhe to wo sab mil gaya jo tum chahati thi haina".

"Tch, sab kuch nahi mila kuch aur wishes bhi thi jo mein sochti thi complete hongi but hui nahi maybe aage ho bhi na to meine unpar give up maar diya" she said sadly.

"Udaas nahi hote baccha aur never give up hum chahe to hum sab kuch kar sakte hai".

"Kabhi kabhi kismat saath nahi deti" she murmured.

"Acha ab tu ja aur so ja kal kaam par jaana hoga na".

"Aye aye captain" she said and run toward her room.
________________________________

Shiv wake up between the night when he feel thirsty, he look at other side and found it empty.

"Anandi kaha chali gai door bhi locked hai andar se". He stood up and check the bathroom it was also empty then he went in balcony and saw her. She is facing her back. He went near her and saw a picture in her hands. His eyes filled up when he clearly saw the picture. It was her and jagiya's childhood photographs when they got married. He took few steps back and called her.

"Anandi"

She come from her thoughts and hide the photograph. She turn towards him

"Aap yaha is waqt?" She asked.

"Ji pani peene utha tha to dekha aap thi nahi, yaha kya kar rahi hai is time?"

"Wo... Wo kuch nahi neend nahi aa rahi thi to aa gai" she said with little hesitation and was about to move but stop when she hear him.

"Ab bhi pyaar karti ho us jagya se?".

"N... nah... nahi"

He went near her and make her look into his eyes.

"Sach bataiye anandi"

She look down, she don't know what to answer him. She is still confused. He make her sit on the swing which is placed in balcony. He himself sat infront of her.

"Ab bataiye aur sach".

A tear escape her eye "pa...pata nahi"

"Aap bataiye anandi aaj bataiye jo dil me hai shyd aaj aapki feelings hi hamara future tay karengi"

She look at him "shyd haan mein usko bhula nahi paa rahi... Sorry i know aapse meri shadi hui hai aur ye galat hai lekin mujhe nahi pata mujhe kya ho raha hai".

"It's okay anandi husband wife hone se pehle hum ache dost hai haina?". She nodded."to apne pati ko side rakh kar apne is dost ko bataiye kya hua hai, kya baat hai, kya feel karti hai aap"

"Shiv, aaj.... aaj meine jagya aur gauri ko dekha pata nahi kiu lekin aaj bhi unko saath dekhkar gussa aata hai jalan hoti hai ki mujh me kya kami thi? Kya sirf yahi ki mein pagal thi jo uska intezar karti rahi? Yahi galti thi meri ki mein usse pyaar karti thi uske intezar me thi? Ya mein padhi likhi nahi thi gawar thi isliye"

"Anandi relax okay, har insaan me apne flaws hote hai iska matlab ye nahi ki wo insaan hi galat ho gaya i know jagya ne jo aapke saath kiya wo galat tha lekin iske liye aap khudh ko blame mat kare, wo sab uski galti thi us rishte me to aapne apna 100% diya tha na aur jo rishta one sided ho wo kabhi chal hi nahi sakta isme aapki galti nahi hai"

"Thank you shiv aur mein samjh gai hu lekin shyd kahi na kahi aaj bhi usko bhula nahi paa rahi hu aap samjh rahe hai na".

He smile sadly "koi baat nahi aap apna time le" he stood up and about to move when she hold his hand. He look at her with confusing eyes.

"I... I'm sorry mein apne past se nikal nahi paa rahi hu isliye shyd hamare ye rishta bhi kharab ho raha hai aapko yahi lag raha hoga lekin sh... shiv sach ye hai ki mein taiyaar nahi thi is shadi ke liye dadi sa ke kehne par meine ye shadi ke liye haa boli thi socha tha shyd jagya ko bhula paungi mujhe maaf kar de le... lekin mujhe nahi pata mein kabhi aapko wo pyaar lauta paaungi ya nahi".

"Anandi aap kiu itna soch rahi hu aapko jitna time chahiye aap le lijiye mein intezaar karunga".

"Nahi aap... aap intezaar mat kariye mu... mujhe pata hai aapko lag raha hoga kya bol rahi hu me lekin mein sachme chahati hu aapko saari khushiya mile jo aap deserved karte hai kiuki mein apni zindagi me kuch karna chahati hu apne pero par khadi hona chahati hu, is shadi shabd se hi mera vishwas uth gaya hai, dam sa ghutta hai mujhe nahi pata kitne time me ye rishta nibha paaungi lekin mein aapki khushi chahati hu shiv mein nahi chahati aap mere intezaar me puri zindagi guzar de, kiuki meri pehli shadi ne bohot gehra zakham choda hai mere dil par pata nahi wo kab bharega".

"Anandi aap kya bol rahi hai ye shadi hui hai hamari thode efforts aap daale thode me daalunga I'm sure it will work soon".

"Nahi shiv aap samjhiye mujhe waqt lagega na jaane kitna aur mere rehte aap barbad ho jayenge aapki khushiyaan mere liye zaruri hai mein efforts daalungi lekin aap wada kare agar aapko kahi bhi laga ki ye shadi ye rishta aap aage nahi nibha payenge to aap mujhe aakar bataiyega please, ek baar dekh chuki hu jab ek taraf se efforts dale jaate hai to rishta tut jaata aur insaan bhi mein aapko tutta nahi dekh sakti"

He went out from room without saying anything. Marriage is a big commitment for him. He never thought to give up on their relationship like this but if she want this he happily agreed with her. She means alot for him, he always respect her. A tear escape his eye he thought he was failed as a husband. He failed to understand her inner trauma. He look at the sky which is filled with stars but still feel empty without moon, just like his life everyone was there but he feel alone.

Shehnaaz also look at the sky while resting her head on the window holding a photograph in her hand. She look at the picture and smile sadly. It was her and shiv photograph. They are holding eachother hands.

"I love you Shiv ,kaash bata paati aapko ki kitna pyaar karti hu aapko, kaash ek baar bol paati aapko, aap chale gaye the na phir kiu aaye wapas,jab achanak mili thi aapse to socha shyd bhagwan bhi hume milana chahate hai lekin shyd hamari kismat me hi nahi hai milna" she cry silently "koi baat nahi aapki khushiyo ke bich kabhi nahi aaungi, chali jaungi bohot jald bohot dur" she smile sadly and kissed the photo.
