Here we go!!!

Pranbir hugged each other forgetting the pain in their body. Though their physical pain remained the same, their heartache seemed to have recovered.

Pranbir theme song (ishq sufiyaana) 😍

Digvijay got up suddenly & seeing them absorbed in each other, escaped from there. Pranbir didn't care even an inch about him.

Digvijay ran as fast as he could & reached the door of the library. Panting & out of breath, he stopped for a while to inhale some oxygen. "Huff! Uss ladke ne lagta hain meri aur Aliya Khanna ki baatein nahi suni. Suni hoti to maar daalta. Ab isse pehle ki koi mujhe dekhe mujhe yahan se chale jaana chahiye.", saying this he ran from there.

But little did he know that someone had seen him, someone had listened to his talks before he had fleed from there. "Mom iss gunde se milne kyun aayi hogi?", Aryan wondered, who had heard everything. Lost in his thoughts, he felt a sudden tap on his back. Whamming back on the earth, he whirled around to see Shahana, Jay & Palak ushering him to get inside the library.

They ran inside the library & found Pranbir hugging each other tightly. All of them smiled seeing their love. They were so lost in each other that they didn't even realise that their friends had reached there. Exchanging knowing smiles, they nodded at each other & tapped them on their shoulders.

Startled, they came out of their reverie. Prachi lowered her eyelids shyly while Ranbir smiled down like an idiot at his friends, ruffling his hair. Suddenly something struck Ranbir & he said, "Um guys mujhe Prachi se akele mein baat karni hain." Understanding his motive, everybody nodded while Prachi was nervous. She turned her back towards them. Wishing him good luck from behind, they left from there silently.

"Prachi.", Ranbir kept a hand on her shoulder. Never wanting to do what she had planned to do, she jerked his hand off her shoulder & started blabbering, "Tumhe samajh nahi aata kya ki main tumse ..." She suddenly stopped talking & looked confusingly at Ranbir who was trying to control his laughter very hard. 🤭 Raising her eyebrows, she asked him, "Tum has kyun rahe ho?"

Unable to control his laughter anymore, he started laughing like a maniac, clutching his stomach & his cheeks which were paining due to laughing. "Tu-tum has kyun rahe ho bataoge mujhe?", she asked him like a cute angry child. "Kyunki tum kitti funny ho yaar! Matlab tumhari baat mein itna sa bhi conviction nahi hain, phir bhi bakli ki tarah baki jaa rahi ho kuch bhi!", saying this he started laughing again. "Kya? Tum mujhe bakli bula rahe ho? Tumhe to main!", she said angrily to him. "Are sorry sorry gussa kyun ho rahi ho? Sach hi to bola na maine.", he said! Her mouth fell open in shock while he gulped & murmured, "Oops! 🙊" "Accha to main bakli huh?", she said, staring at him angrily. Suddenly she picked up the stick from the floor & said, "Ab to tumhe ye danda khana hi padega. Tum ruko!" "Are kya danda kya bandar hoon kya main?", he exclaimed! "Haan bilkul. Main bakli na? To tum bhi bandar ho. Ab khao ye danda.", she said, advancing towards him while he started running away!

Music ...

She was chasing him angrily with the stick in her hands while he ran laughing merrily.

Tujhko ... main rakh loon vahan ... jahan pe kahin ... hain mera yakeen ...

He was smiling as his plan had worked. He wanted her to be what she was. He wanted to spend quality time with her. He wanted to see his Chikchiki, he wanted to see his angry bird.

Main jo ... tera na hua ... kisika nahi ... kisika nahi ...

Oh to keep her away from the misery she was facing, he would even drink poison. Then y'd he not bear the pain of a teeny meeny stick?

Le jaaye jaane kahan hawayein hawayein ... le jaaye tujhe kahan hawayein hawayein ...

She was running behind him furiously calling out his name, while he kept laughing heartily. He then saw a man coming from the front with a basket full of flower petals in it. He ran towards him & took the basket from his hand. As soon as he saw her coming, he threw the petals on her. She opened her mouth in amazement & looked at him angrily for blocking her path. He smiled at her cute face & started running again as he saw the last of the petals falling down.

Begaani hain ye baagi hawayein, hawayein ... le jaaye mujhe kahan hawayein, hawayein ...

He then ran straight into the garden. She chased him all through the garden as soft flower petals fell on her body & butterflies 🦋 flew over her head making a circle. Had she only been smiling at that time, she would've even made the angels jealous of her beauty. Ranbir who had reached very far looked behind to see her standing there fuming in anger, waiting for the butterflies 🦋 to fly away. He smiled as she had yet again proved how kind she was; not only with humans, but also with animals, for she didn't shoo them off.

Le jaaye jaane kahan na mujhko khabar ... na mujhko pata ...

As though scared of the stick in her hands, the butterflies 🦋 flew away. Smirking slightly, she started running towards him again, as he ran. They came in a bigger garden where people had put their clothes on thin high ropes for drying. Getting an idea, Ranbir started pulling the dupattas down so that they could block her path. She grimaced in irritation as she drew the dupattas aside, running simultaneously, to catch him.

Ooo ...

Ranbir suddenly stopped in the middle of his tracks & she did the same. Grinning sheepishly, he faced her raising his hands in a surrender position. Smirking, she looked behind him & saw the end of the track. Clapping the stick on her hands, she said, "Ab kahan jaaoge? Ab to tumhe ye danda khana hi padega." Saying this she ran towards him. He smiled softly & instead of running away, he forwarded his hands. Shocked, she stopped in the middle, the stick dangling in the air, her eyebrows raised & her mouth ajar. She stared at him in confusion. Understanding her unsaid plea for an explanation, he said, "Tum agar mujhe jahar bhi pine ke liye bologi na, to bhi main pi lunga. To phir ye danda kya chiz hain?" She looked at him in awe. "Maaro?", he said, forwarding his hand. She felt sad & unknowingly, her  hands started dropping. She stared into his eyes full of tears. 🥺

'Kyun karte ho tum mujhse itna pyaar? Y is it so difficult for me to stay away from u? Kyun tum mere liye koi bhi dard sehne ko tayar ho?", she wondered.

She suddenly came out of her thoughts when she heard Ranbir's voice, "Main tumse itna pyaar kyun karta hoon, iska jawaab to main tumhe aaj nahi de sakta. Tum mujhse isiliye door nahi ho paati kyunki tum mujhse pyaar karti ho. Aur main tumhare liye koi bhi dard sehne ke liye tayar hoon kyunki main tumse pyaar karta hoon."

She stared at him with eyes full of admiration. But she suddenly came out the charm of his eyes when she remembered that she was supposed to be angry with him. She dropped the stick in fake anger & fumed, "Main aise tumhe maar nahi sakti nahito tumhare gharvalon ko bura lagega."

Saying this, she turned to go when suddenly she heard Ranbir's voice, "Ouch!" Frightened, she turned & saw that his finger was bleeding. She quickly went to him & saw that a thorn was stuck in his finger. "Tum-tum pagal ho kya?" She said.

Ramtadi jogiye da, hua naam tere mahiya ...

She looked at him for a second, concerned & angry at him for committing such a foolish mistake. He smiled at her concern & her cute angry face.

Tasdi mein rab di jagah, padh naam tere jogiya ...

Seeing that the blood flow wasn't stopping, she took a bowl of haldi from one of the tables beside & started applying it on his wound, simultaneously blowing air on it while scolding him.

Tu hi meri subah te sham sham, rab chahe main to japu tera naam ... teri meri ikk jind jaan jaan chahe jism ho apne juda ...

After she finished applying haldi, she asked, "Handkerchief hain tumhare paas?" But he was too lost in her to hear what she had asked. Rolling her eyes, she teared out a piece of her dupatta & tied it around his hand while she kept scolding him.

Ke teri meri ikk jindri ... (4)

He was so lost in her that he couldn't take in even a word of what she was saying. But one word, one word caught his attention & he stared at her lovingly. "Baklu!"

As she realised what she had said, she bit her lips & was about to go when he suddenly caught her hand gently. Stunned, she looked into his eyes while he looked down towards her right palm. She followed his gaze & was shocked to find that it had some tiny thorns stuck in them through which blood was oozing out. It must be the thorns of the stick, she thought. He made her sit gently on the bench & started treating her wounds. Her eyes filled up with tears seeing his care towards her. He took out his handkerchief & tied it around her hand. She blushed on realising that he had deliberately not replied when she had asked him for handkerchief. But as realisation dawned her that they had to depart, some fresh tears fell out of her eyes, straight on his working hands.

Startled, he looked up at her & found her crying bitterly. His heart ached seeing his beloved in such a state. He kissed her palms softly & put his arm around her, squeezing her into a soft hug. She didn't oppose, on the contrary, she held him tightly to let the storm raging inside her pass away.

With her in his embrace, he said, "Tum kyun kar rahi ho aisa? Tumhe pata hain na ki tumhe aise nahi dekh sakta? To kyun chupa rahi ho mujhse? Mujhe pata hain ki tum bhi mujhse pyaar karti ho. To kyun aise ignore kar rahi ho? Mujhe batao na kya hua hain, hum dono saath milkar sab kuch thik kar denge. Plz mujhe batao kya hua hain? Kyunki ... tum jaanti ho, tumhari aankhon mein mere liye pyaar dekhne ke liye main kabse betaab tha. Aur ... ab jab vo mujhe dikhta hain, to tum mujhe aise ignore kar rahi ho. Plz mujhe batao ki kya hain jo tumhe mujhse door rehne pe majboor kar raha hain? Plz mujhe batao plz. Kyunki agar tum mujhe aise hi ignore karti rahogi to main mar hi-" His sentence was left incomplete as she placed her hand on his mouth. He looked at her & their eyes filled up with tears. He gently removed her hand from his mouth & wiped her tears while she also did the same.

Looking deep into his eyes, she realised that she had to tell him the truth else he would have to suffer. (This sentence looks grammatically a but incorrect, doesn't it? 🤔)

Taking a deep breath, she took his hand in hers & said, "Batati hoon. Par tum mujhe promise karo ki tum gussa nahi hoge aur kisise jaakar ye baat nahi kahoge." "Thik hain", he said. "Nahi kahunga." "Promise?", she asked forwarding her hand. They shared a small eyelock & finally, placing his hands in hers, he said, "Promise." She smiled.

Then she got up & facing his back towards him, tears rolling down her cheeks, she narrated everything to him; how the st had blackmailed her to sacrifice her love to give her mother, her love, how she had agreed to it, so that she could give her mother her happiness, by sacrificing her happiness, everything. Finally, she looked at him & said, "Main tumhe ye sab kuch batane vaali thi, lekin mujhe laga ki tum ye samjhoge ki mujhe tumhare pyaar pe bharosa nahi hain jabki hain. Mujhe to tumpar khudse jyada bharosa hain. Jab bhi mujhe illjam lage, tab tumne mujhpar bharosa kiya. Chahe hum dushman hi kyun na rahe ho, tumne hamesha mujhpar bharosa kiya hain, mujhe himmat di hain. Aur sabse badi baat, mujhse, mujhse pyaar kiya hain, khud se jyada, sabse jyada. Mujhe to samajh nahi aata ki bhagya hamare saath aisa khel kyun khelta hain? Jab mujhse mera pyaar vapas hi lena tha, to diya hi kyun? Lekin Ranbir, main sach mein tumse bohot pyaar karti hoon, nahi ji sakti main tumhare bina, nahi ji sakti! Mujhe maaf kar do plz!", saying this she joined her hands & some tears rolled out on her cheeks.

Ranbir got up & held her hands. "Ye tum kya kar rahi ho?" He pecked her hands & said, "Isme tumhari koi galati nahi hain. Tum bhi to apne shabdon pe hi amal kar rahi thi, ki jiski vajah se hum iss duniya mein aate hain, usko khushi deni chahiye, dukh nahi. Aur agar unke dukh ki vajah hum ban rahe ho, to hame apni khushi kuraban karni chahiye. Galati tumhari nahi uss st ki hain. Uski himmat kaise hui tumhe aise dhamki dene ki? Himmat kaise hui uski? Main to aaj usko chodunga nahi."

He was about to go when she stopped him. "Nahi Ranbir. Meri baat suno. Dhyan se suno. Jab tumne apni maa ki khushi ke liye mujhe chodne ki sochi thi to tumne sirf yahi socha tha na ki unhone ab tak tumhe paal poskar bada kiya hain to unhe itni si khushi de do. To maine bhi yahi socha hain Ranbir. Bachpan se meri Maa ne mujhe khush rakhne ke liye apni har khushi ko kurbaan kiya hain. To aaj jab main unhe unki zindagi ki sabse badi khushi de sakti hoon, to phir main vo kyun na karu Ranbir? Batao? Aur tum hi socho, tumhare chief ki khushi bhi isime hain ki vo meri Maa ke saath rahe, aur tum ... uss st, uss st, ke saath. Aaj tak tum unhe maante aaye ho. To aaj jab tum apne chief ko unki khushi de sakte ho to kyun nahi de rahe Ranbir? Aur hum to hamesha ek hi rahenge." Smiling in between tears, she said, "Aur bhoolo mat, Krishna ke aaju-baju itni saari gopiyaan thi. Lekin prem unhone sirf Radha se kiya. Aur Radha Krishna se pehle nafrat karti thi, lekin baad mein khudse jyada usne Krishna se prem kiya. Hum bhi to vaise hi hain na? Tum Krishna ho, jiske aaju-baju itni saari ladkiyaan rehti hain-" "Par pyaar sirf apni chikchiki se karta hoon.", he said looking deep into her eyes. "Aur tum meri Radha ho, jo pehle mujhse nafrat karti thi-" "Lekin ab tumse khudse pyaar karti hoon.", she said. "Aur...", she continued, "Radha aur Krishna ne bhi apne parivar ki khushi ke liye shaadi nahi ki ... to ..."

They fell silent.

"To behtar yahi hoga ki ... hum bhi ye shaadi na kare!", they said in a union. Out of the blue, a loud thunderstorm was heard & a flash of lightning was seen. The wind started blowing faster, due to which Prachi's dupatta was about to fly away, but Ranbir caught it & made her wear it. Another flash of lightning was seen, more dangerous than the previous one. Predicting that the following thunderstorm would be very loud, Ranbir wrapped Prachi in his embrace. He was right in doing so. Next moment, as the thunderstorm was heard, she clutched his jacket, & snuggled closer to his heart. Hugging each other tightly, they stayed in each other's embrace till the storm inside their hearts as well as the skies 🌌 subsided.

Finally they drew away. Eyes reflecting tears of pain & agony, they stared at each other longingly. Suddenly something hit Ranbir. Coming out of the peaceful charm of her eyes, he asked her, "Par ... tumhari Maa ko to ye baat acchi nahi lagegi na? Aur vo ye jaroor sochengi na ki hum achanak se aise door kyun ho rahe hain? To hum kya jawab denge?" Puzzled she started thinking. He suddenly came up with an idea. "Mere paas ek idea hain.", he said. "Kya?", she asked. "Dekho mere paas sirf yahi ek idea hain. Lekin isse hume bohot dukh hoga. Mujhse juada tumhe, jo main nahi dekh paunga.", he said. "Par tumhe batana hoga Ranbir. Plz batao.", she said, wiping his face with her dupatta.

"Main ab tumhe kuch aisa batane vaala hoon jo sunke shayad tumhe bohot dukh ho. Par plz tum mujhpar bharosa karna kyunki maine isme se kuch bhi nahi kiya hain.", he said. "Mujhe tumpar pura bharosa hain. Tum mujhe bas batao.", she said.

Turning his back towards her, he took a deep breath & told her everything about the bet. "Par main sach keh raha hoon. Maine vo bet accept to ki thi par main kabhi bhi uske hisaab se nahi chala. I swear. Kyunki uske hissab se chalte chalte hi mujhe tumhi se pyaar ho gaya. Aur aisa pyaar hua ki tumhari khushi, tumhari hifazat ke liye maine khudko bhi daanv par laga diya. Kyunki ... main sach mein tumse bohot pyaar karta hoon. Aur ... shayad mujhe isi galati ki saza mil rahi hain ki main tumse door jaa raha hoon."

He sad down with his head in his arms. She had no expressions on her face. 😶 She seemed to be thinking something. A few minutes passed in silence. After several minutes, she suddenly smiled & kept a warm hand on his shoulder. Feeling her warmth, he raised his eyes & was surprised to see her smiling. She sat down beside him & said, "I don't trust u." Utterly downcast 😔, he hung his head down in shame. She put a hand on one of his his cheeks & turning him towards her, she said, "I don't trust u bcz I believe in u." Ecstatic, he smiled & hugged her tightly, shedding tears. She gently rubbed his back to calm him down. Drawing away, she said, "Agar tum mujhse pyaar ka natak kar rahe hote, to apni jaan par khelkar mujhe nahi bachate, sabke against jaakar mujhe nahi bachate, aur aankhon par patti baandhkar mujhpar bharosa nahi karte. Isiliye I believe in u Baklu!" She hit him playfully on his arm & they both smiled.

Then suddenly she became sad & said, "Mujhe tumhara plan samajh aa chuka hain." He looked up at her in surprise but looking into her eyes, he understood that she had really understood his plan. He nodded. They shared an eyelock.

They got up. She held his hand & sadly said, "Yahi sahi vakt hain Ranbir. Hume ye karna hi hoga. Chalo." He nodded. She slowly started drawing her hand from his. Feeling gloomy at the loss of her touch, he held her hand tightly & advancing towards her, hugged her tightly. Crying bitterly, they hugged each other tightly as if their lives were depended on it. He placed innumerable kisses on her head while she cried more. Finally drawing away,  he kissed her forehead.

"Baklu?"

"Chikchiki?"

"I Love You...!!!"

Sharing a last eyelock & a last hug, they went towards the hall.

———————————————————-

Somebody had seen this. Wiping tears, he/she said, "Kyun bhagwan inki aisi pariksha le raha hain? Kyun beintaha pyaar hokar bhi milan nahi hain? Nahi, inn dono ko milvana hi hoga. Par pehle, logon ko inka pyaar dekhne do. Jinki aankhon par galatfaimi bandhi hui hain unko dekhne do Pranbir ka pyaar. Thoda dard aur sehen kar lo bas baccho. Phir tum dono ko milana mera kaam hain."

———————————————————-

Everyone were sitting in the hall when suddenly they heard a commotion.

Prachi :- (with fake anger) Tum bohot ghatiya insan ho! How can u do this to me?

Ranbir :- (faking his anger) Maine kaha na ki main tumhe pasand nahi karta. Maine tumhe apni girlfriend banane ka natak st ke kehne pe kiya hain. Taaki st meri girlfriend ban sake. Samjhi tum?

Pragya :- (in disbelief) Kya?! Mujhe yakin nahi ho raha ki tum aisa kar sakte ho. Mann to kar raha hain ki thappad laga doon lekin aaj tak tumne natak karke hi kyun na kiya ho, meri bacchi, meri beti ki jaan bachayi hain. Tumse ye ummid nahi thi Ranbir.

These harsh words crushed Pranbir's heart into pieces. But they remained adamant. Arhana, Sarita Aunty & Vikram were in for a shock.

Pragya :- Karana chahte hain na aap sab iski st ke saath engagement? To thik hain kar lijiye.

Aliya :- To thik hain kal yahin pe Meera ki shaadi ke saath saath stvki bhi engagement hogi Ranbir ke saath. (Ranbir fumed in anger)

Everybody clapped.

Ranbir's heart shredded down to pieces seeing Prachi's hidden pain which was visible only to him. Pragya held Prachi's hand & started taking her away. But unable to control her feelings, Prachi looked at Ranbir with teary eyes whose eyes reflected the same pain. And this scene didn't go unnoticed by Arhana, Sarita Aunty & Vikram who became sure that they were surely faking this. But y, well they had they had their own opinions on it.

3000+ words! 😳🤫

——————————————————

Precap :- "Engagement to Pranbir ki hi hogi, vo bhi tisri baar."

"Natak to kar rahe hain ye dono I'm sure. Par kyun? Ye nahi pata."
