"

Fitoor hai tera ishq mere liye"

"Teri adaat sii ban jau mai aur tujhe iss dil zuban samjhau mai"

As scene shifted to a railway station written "Benaras railway station" The train horn steamed
A young lady in her late 20s was standing under the platform with a red dark colour wedding dress jewelry adorned her neck
She took out her phone and dialed a number

"Sid kaha hai tu agar baba nai  hame dundh liya na bohot musibat ho jayegi" She said to someone on call

"Mai kya karu yaar dekh mai delhi mai hu aur tunee kyu nahi bataya tu bhagne wali hai shaddi sai apni.. " a young and husky voice said over the other side

"Kuch toh kar abb yeh ladai aur chizo ke kaaran mai kahi ja bhi nahi sakti..."

The voice was not there for some seconds before Siddharth replied to her

"Tu ek kaam kar mera ek dost hai Benaras mai..."

The writing stopped as a young man kept some pages on the desk

"Yeh british time ki stories likhna kitni muskil hai.." he sighed   "itni research ke baad bhi haazaro plot holes niklenge" he swung his pen up but kept it down "waise yeh charecter bohot achi hai imgaine hii kar sakta hu apni creation ko admire karne ke liye mai bohot kuch kar sakta hu waise.. iska naam kya rakhu mai hmmm.."finally turning impaiteint

"Bohot ho gaya kal baki ka likhunga" he said to himself as he got up from his seat and walked towards a door opening the handle as he got outside some papers scattered from the soft cold wind one of papers which was last on the table got some ink on it impressing a M on it the window opened and the papers of those beautiful writing flew towards the it when a soft and beautiful hand caught it in with bangles in hand light nailpolish as the persons choclate eyes were shown with a red slime lipstick on lips and cheeks red as red ruby

"Arjun ...." Her soft voice said

Another side

"Shyam kaka mera khana lag gaya na..."  The young writer's voice trailed in the hall

"Ha saib lag gaya app bethiye ham abhi awat ho leke bhojan.." a old man nearly 55 replied

"Hmm ...." He sat on the chair

His phone ringed

"Hello.."

"Karan kaise ho.."

"Saand mai toh thik hu tu bata abhi tak 10 janam mai mar chuka hoga"

"Aree bhai kya bezzati karta hai!..."

" Teri izzat bhi hai.." he said rolling his eyes

"Ahhh!!!.....waise chor tu sunn"

"Agar time waste karne ke lia phone kiya hai toh patal mai nikal mujhe koi baat nahi karni" he cut him off

"Aree! Nahi yaar sunn toh"he replied in a annoyed tone

"Bol bol.." karan controlled himself and replied

"Ham....kal arahe haiiiii!!!" He said excited

"Kyu araha hai mera kharcha barha deta hai!..." He rolled his eyes

"Hame nahi pata ham bas ayenge toh ayenge!"

"Ha thik hai!!"

Scene cut to midnight

As karan was sleeping on his
Bed a soft murmur was heard

The papers were placed on the table as before and there was no ink the sound of payal was heard when a girl came closer to the bed

"Arjun..." Her voice was shaky she touched his face with tears dropping in the dim light

Karan felt something watery on him when he opened his eyes slowly he saw a female figure by his side it was dark he couldn't see who it was his round eyes grew bigger as he jerked

"Kon ho tum!!" He ran out the bed in seconds

"Arjun kya bol rahe ho ham hai monami"

Karan turned on the light and saw curly long hair in a bun with a blood red colour lehenga light lips as if the lipstick on it has dried out her face was beautiful but with tears on it making it a disappointing thing

"Tum hame bhul gaye hame waada kiya tha hamare alawa kisiko nahi dekhoge aur ajj ahahhaa!" She cried looking at the crying figure karan kept the thing aside that she is a stranger and walked towards "i guess apko galatfehmi hui hai.." hw tried to console

"Acha toh yeh sach nahi ki app apne desh ke lia kuch bhi kar sakte hai" his eyes widened he loved writing apart from his job he was senior ranked in IA department and his only mission was to serve his country "yeh ki app unn bahari logo ko hamare desh par kabja karne denge" he stood stiff now wait who is this new dushman his face turned serious

"Arjun yeh mazak ka waqt nahi hai kal punjab ke Jallianwala bagh mai ham dono ko jana tha..." She said and took his hands in hers "taki ham bhi apne desh ke lia kuch kare aur wo bhi ek sath"

He was dumbfounded this lady out of nowhere was saying he was some arjun and what is this Jallianwala bagh thing
Is she a spy or is she a team member her reflexs don't tell otherwise she is calm before him

"Par...app hai kon.." he asked out of nowhere she frowned at his question "firr sai wahi mai hu Monami mahajana.." she answered

He never heard this name nothing else bothered him he just nodded and looked at the clock it was 4:00am

A low grumbling was heard karan looked at the lady who introduced herself as Monami mahajana she blushed out of embarassment

"Apko bukh lagi hai toh app mere sath kha sakti hai" he said rubbing his neck and took her downstairs she was looking at the big house offcourse as a government worker he got everything

"Arjun apko itni chize aur yeh jagah kaise mili.." he furrowed his eyebrows

"Maaf kijiyga but mera naam karan hai Karan shergill" he said in straightforward tone

She giggled "acha mazak karlete hai app"

In his mind "yeh toh muh pe bezzati kar rahi hai mai isai apna naam bata raha hu aur yeh haas rahi hai ajeeb hai"

"Joh naam hamne apne bache ke lia socha tha abb app hii wahi hai karan ha" she giggled

Karan blushed he didn't even knew her and....bache!WTH was happening he still smiled like nothing maybe mumbling to himself "my last strand of sanity is dead"

"Acha Arjun hame na bhook lagi hai" He looked at her but didn't spoke up and nodded

"This is agyakari pati before marraige🐭"

Karan went to the kitchen he was feeling very chilled what the heck was happening a random person at his home calling him from a random name "she can't be an agent" He thought and sighed but still he was somewhat like feeling somewhat a connection he never felt he always knew what to do but he was confused regarding this random lady popping out of nowhere looking at her he figured out she is harmless but this

Many possibilities
"Yeh ladki kahi pagal-khane sai toh nahi bhagi" The thought which came to his mind saddened such a cute girl.... Wait what he thinking he just met her nothing else it is not much of concern he shouldn't care what happens to her he could throw the useless faizi out but he couldn't throw this girl named Monami out just couldn't, this person reminded him of her...the person he had written the personality of what he wanted in life he never thought for that charecter's love interest but kind he kind of wanted to make himself the model even it was ridiculous to even think about something like this
He looked at the chopped tomatoes and then at monami sitting on the table comfortable and humming a song , her cheeks were red as this tomato, and her face, eyes, lips... He stopped hearing a voice beside him that was a giggle

He looked at her coming out of his thoughts

"Kya soch rahe hai app firse hamare sapne" She kept her hands on hips teasingly looking at him

His eyes Widen or say popping out he blushed, she was stating true facts he was thinking of her not like that offcourse.... Ahem ahem...

"Asai kuch nahi hai jaisa app soch rahi hai aur yeh apke liye" He passed her the plate with some sabji and roti

"Oh dhanyavaad apka" She smiled softly changing her expression she sat down on the table eating,he sat on opposite side looking at her innocently eating

"Arjun... " She started he cut her off

"Monami dekhiye don't call me Arjun mai Karan hu..karan Shergill and from my observation you think of me as someone else.. " His voice serious now

She stopped and looked at him

"Jante hai.. " She said he looked at her confused

"Matlab.. " He questioned

"Karan ho app jab apne hame pehchana nahi hamne tabhi vaap liya... " She looked at him and continued "app Arjun nahi ho"

Her eyes had tears he furrowed his eyebrows at this he didn't like complicated things other than his stories but... He wanted to comfort her, just couldn't see those tears in her eyes he looked her and then he caused his head closing his eyes taking the information analysing it perhaps

"Kya matlab aur kya app mujhe abhi batayengi app yaha kaise ayyi" He looked at her

"Karan app kabhi samjh nahi patee hai kyun hamesha sai asai hai" She giggled and looked at him smiling

"Kya matlab..." He stopped when he felt her hands on his cheeks he looked up meeting those hazel eyes looking at his reflection

She smiled and slowly kissed his forehead before he can say something his eyes felt heavy closing them

Monami caressed his hairs and then few tears left her eyes
a voice came

"Sakhi toh samapt hui apki vartalaap" She looked back
A dusky man standing with a peacock feather on his head and lotus eyes with a flute in his hand,his face had a mischievous smile

Monami nodded

"Karan ke sath agar ham jindagi bhar ek uske hii nirmanit kala ke roop mai rahe toh hame koi samasya nahi" She smiled

"Sakhi Monami wo tumhe jarur bhul gaya hai ki tum uski kya thi par wo apne khudki sundarta ko joh pretit thi uski hii priy sai toh wo uske hriday mai rahega" His divine smile on face

"Dhanyavaad sakha" She smiled

"Sakha bhi kehti ho aur dhanyavaad bhi yeh uchit nahi hai sakhi"

"Acha thik hai nahi bolte" She chuckled

"Waise yeh Arjun kon hai" Furrowing his brows he questioned

"Apko kya lagta hai kon hoga"

"Abb sakhi tumhe ham vaap lete par ajj hamari bilkul bhi icha nahi toh...Abhi prasthan kare tumhe waapas nahi jana" He smiled Mischievously again

"Chaliye"

Monami looked at karan the last time and smiled

As a light flashed they both disappeared in thin air

Time skip~
