Kareeb ke Rishtey…Close relationships…Part 11
Veena:Narenji,you should know what happened behind our back.This Sonakshi was keeping in touch with her sister Lakshmi without our knowledge.
Sonakshi
Pooja was shocked.
She thought:How did Veena aunty know it?
Veena:Pooja is Lakshmi’s daughter.Sonakshi and Pooja were playing a wicked game with us.Both are traitors.
Sonakshi was silent and weak.She left everything to God and fate as she knew that nothing can convince her parents in law and husband.
Naren was shocked:What?
Naren:Such a big betrayal!It’s our fault to get her married to Rohit.She cheated her own parents.So cheating us is not a big deal for her.Your niece is also like you Sonakshi.Rohit,throw out Pooja now itself.After that we will decide what punishment to be given to Sonakshi.
Sonakshi’s tears rolled down her cheeks.
Raavi,Pooja and Pulkit were in tears.
Suddenly Veena slapped Sonakshi.
Veena:You deserve this slap for fooling us.
All were shocked.Suddenly Pooja realized that it was her bad imagination.
She thought:Oh no…what if my imagination comes true and Sonakshi Maasi gets slapped?I should not allow it.
Pooja:Rohit uncle,you can throw me out.Because I only told Sonakshi maasi to hide my identity from you all.Trust me,all these years she was not in touch with my mother.I only made her talk to my mother.Till then Sonakshi maasi had sacrificed her happiness for you.So please don’t punish her.
Pulkit:Yes Papa.Please don’t punish both Maa and Pooja.They are not really at fault.
Naren:Pulkit,you are a man.Be manly.Not cry like women and support your mother’s and cousin sister’s misdeeds.
Pulkit:I did’nt support any misdeeds.
Veena:You will talk to your grand father like this?
Raavi:Pulkit bhai has not said anything wrong.What’s Maa and Pooja’s fault?In every normal family,sisters do meet each other,cousins do meet each other.That’s what Maa and Pooja did.There is nothing wrong in that.Then why do we deserve punishment?
Naren and Veena were shocked to see Raavi raising voice against them.
Naren:Girls should not open their mouth when men talk.
Raavi:Till now you suppressed me.But not anymore.I will speak up for my mother and sister.
Naren and Veena were shocked.
Raavi looked at Rohit:Papa..Maa sacrificed all her happiness and dreams for you and your parents.Does’nt she deserve a little bit of happiness?So what is wrong in talking to her sister for some time over the phone?She did’nt even meet her sister directly.
Rohit:She does’nt deserve a little bit of happiness.
Raavi,Pulkit,Sonakshi and Pooja were shocked.Naren and Veena smiled.
Pooja thought:I thought Rohit Maasad loves Sonakshi maasi now.But I was wrong to believe that I changed him.
Rohit:Instead of a little bit of happiness,deserves life long happiness.
Sonakshi,Raavi,Pulkit and Pooja looked at Rohit in surprise.
Rohit:Sonakshi was not wrong in helping Lakshmi to elope with her lover.Because if she had done that,lakshmi would have even thought of suicide.Sona was scared to lose her sister.That’s why she sent her with her lover.When our dearest person is in danger,we will do anything to save that person.When Sona got injured by Rohan,I felt that I lost my world.
Sonakshi looked at Rohit emotionally.
Rohit:Sona also feared that she will lose her sister Lakshmi if she is forced to marry me.So Sona did that.Not only that.I have realized that intercaste marriages are not wrong.If people are good,caste does not matter.
Rohit looked at Raavi and said:Raavi,even if anyone from our family pressurizes you to leave Shiva because of caste difference,don’t do that.Don’t sacrifice your happiness and love for anyone.Shiva is for you.So no need to changing your decision to be with Shiva for anyone.
Raavi smiled emotionally.
Veena:But Rohit…we had warned Sonakshi not to keep in touch with Lakshmi.
Rohit:That was our cruelty imposed upon her.If anyone tells me not to keep any contact with Rani,can I do that?No.Then why did we even expect Sona to desert her sister?Sona had stopped contacting Lakshmi because of our cruelty.Recently only she contacted Lakshmi.If Sona has talked to her sister,it was her right.We have no right to interfere in that.
Naren:Rohit!
Rohit:Papa…you decide which is important for you.Love or ego?
Naren-Veena: Definitely love.
Rohit:If love matters the most,you give importance to the happiness of your family members.So please don’t make an issue out of it.
Naren-Veena became dull.
Rohit:Pooja..please call your parents and ask them to come here.
All were surprised.
Pooja thought:Finally I won in my mission.
Pooja hugged Rohit and said:Thank you Rohit maasad.You are the best.
Rohit smiled.
Suddenly Pooja moved away from him and said:Sorry for hugging you.In this family,girls do not even hug their father and grand father.But in Mumbai,we are not like that.
Rohit:You are considering me as your father.That’s why you called me Maasad with respect.So what’s wrong in hugging me?
Pooja hugged him happily.Raavi too hugged Rohit.Rohit hugged both of them cheerfully.Raavi became emotional when Rohit hugged her.
Pooja called Arjun and Lakshmi.
Pooja:Dad…mom…today is the happiest day of my life.My mission is successful.
Pooja told them everything.
Arjun-Lakshmi smiled emotionally.
Arjun:Our Princess is the best.Only you could turn impossible into possible.
Pooja:Mom..dad…Rohit maasad wants you both to come here.
Arjun-Lakshmi were surprised.
Lakshmi:We will start from here now itself.
Pooja:I can’t wait to see you both.
They cut the call after bidding good-bye.
Lakshmi:Arjun,I feel tense.How will be the meeting?After all we are meeting them after many years.
Arjun:Everything will be alright Lakshmi.God is with us.That’s why everything became alright.
She smiled.
Arjun and Lakshmi reached there.Pooja ran towards them and hugged them.
Sonakshi came with joyful tears in her eyes.
Sona:Didi…
Lakshmi became emotional seeing her:Sona!
They both hugged each other.
Sona:Didi,you have a surprise.You turn back.
She turned back and saw Yash and Latika.
Yash-Latika:Lakshmi beta…
Lakshmi ran towards them and hugged them.
Lakshmi:Papa…Maa…it was so hard for me to live without you both.I really missed you both.
Latika:We died every single moment without seeing you.
Yash:It’s my fault.If I had not taken that drastic step,this would not have happened.
Lakshmi:The fault was mine too.Anyone in your position would have got angry with a daughter like me.I got married without your knowledge and eloped with my husband.Because of me,you faced a lot of embarrassment.Please forgive me.
Yash:You did a wrong thing as you had no other choice.If you had not married Arjun secretly and left with him,out of ego I would have got you married to a person whom you don’t love.If you had married him,your life would have been traumatic.
Lakshmi:Papa,let us forget our past and focus on the present and future.We should not think of the bitter past and spoil our present.
Yash-Latika smiled emotionally.
They looked at Arjun.Arjun was finding it difficult to face them.
Slowly Arjun touched their feet.They touched his head.Everyone smiled emotionally.
Arjun looked at them tearfully.
Yash:We lost a son like you because of our blunder.Please forgive us and consider us as your parents.
Arjun smiled emotionally:What more is needed for an orphan like me?I got parents.I feel that I got back my late parents.
They all smiled emotionally.
Raavi and Pulkit came with excitement:Maasi…maasad..
Lakshmi:My niece and nephew!Come my children.
They walked towards Lakshmi.Lakshmi hugged them.
Pooja smiled:Not including me?
They laughed.Pooja also joined the hug.
Arjun was very friendly with Raavi and Pulkiy.
Rohit,Naren and Veena came.
There was silence.Slowly Lakshmi broke the silence though it was hard for her to face Rohit.
Lakshmi:I apologize to you for hurting you Rohit.But believe me,my intention was not to cheat you.
Rohit:I know Lakshmi.Earlier I was angry with you.But later I realized that I was wrong in judging you.You did that for your love.Marrying me would have been equal to death for you.So you were right to stand by your love.So the mistake you did to me years back is not considered as a mistake now.
Lakshmi smiled emotionally:So you forgave me?
Everyone smiled.
Rohit:In a way you did a good thing by leaving me.Because of that only I got a lovely wife like Sona.
Sonakshi blushed.
Everyone smiled.
Rohit folded his hands before Lakshmi and Sonakshi:I did a cruelty by separating 2 loving sisters.I don’t deserve any pardon.But please try to forgive me.
Lakshmi and Sonakshi became emotional.
Sona:Rohit…you separated us.But you only united us.So why should we be angry with you?
Lakshmi:Now we are thankful to you for giving us this precious moment.So we forgave you.
Rohit said emotionally:Thank you.
Rohit and Arjun started chatting with each other.
Naren-Veena were silent.
Sona:Papaji…Maaji…are you both still angry with Lakshmi didi and Arjun jijaji?
Veena:If you all are happy,why should we be angry?
They were relieved.
Sona:Maaji,we are very happy that you both also are a part of our happiness now.
Veena and Naren gave a pale smile.
All of them were chatting with each other and laughing.
Veena told Naren:See how happy they are.That’s enough for us.Right?After many years there is happiness in our house.
Naren:You are right Veena.Sometimes we should break our ego to find happiness.
Veena nodded her head.
Rohit,Sonakshi,Raavi and Pulkit started having cute family moments.
Shiva and Raavi’s college ended.Pulkit also completed his MD.
Rohit,Sonakshi,Arjun,Lakshmi met Shiva’s and Aarav’s families to fix the wedding date.
Rohit apologized to Shiva’s parents:I insulted you that day.I am really ashamed of my act.Please forgive me.
Sonakshi:Yes..please forgive us for the unpleasant incident you had to face in our house.
Gautam:We had forgiven you when you chose Shiva for Raavi.
Dhara:Yes.We are glad that finally you accepted your mistake and accepted our Shiva.
They smiled.
The 3 families decided the wedding date of Aarav-Pooja and Shiva-Raavi.
Rohit:We will conduct 2 weddings together.
Arjun:Yes.
Pulkit:Can you please conduct 3 weddings together?
All were confused.
Rohit:What do you mean Pulkit?
Pulkit:I love my junior in college.But she is a tamilian.
All were shocked.
Pulkit:Her name is Nandini.She is a traditional tamilian.I saw her first when she was getting ragged my classmates.She was made fun of her traditional dressing style. I saved her from them.
Flash back….
Nandini:I am wearing my state’s traditional dress.What is wrong in that?
Pulkit looked at her.
The seniors got irritated.
Pulkit:Please leave her yaar.We are friends.Won’t you listen to your friend?
They:Ok…we will leave her for the sake of our friendship.
She was relieved.
She smiled at him:Thank you.
Pulkit:No mention.
Later Pulkit and Nandini met at the library.
They smiled at each other.
Pulkit:Hi..I am Pulkit Kapoor.
Nandini:Hi..I am Nandini Iyer.
Pulkit:Do my classmates disturb you now?
Nandini:No.After you told them to leave me,they have not disturbed at all.
They smiled.
Slowly they became friends.
Shockingly Nandini proposed Pulkit.
Nandini:We are good friends.Why don’t we take our friendship to the next level?
Pulkit:What are you saying Nandini?
Nandini:I love you.So…
Pulkit:Will your parents allow you to marry a Kapoor?
Nandini:They are broad minded when it comes to caste,community,region and all.Because they believe that we all are indians.
Pulkit:But my family is not like that Nandini.They are against inter-caste marriages.So please dig your feelings for me.
Nandini was shattered.
Later Pulkit realized that he also loved Nandini and went to her.
Pulkit:That day I rejected your proposal.I am really sorry for that.Because I also love you Nandini.
Nandini smiled emotionally:Really?
Pulkit said emotionally:Yes.
They were very happy.
Later Nandini started becoming tensed whether their relationship will break because of Pulkit’s narrow minded family.
Nandini:I really feel scared Pulkit.What if your family does’nt accept me?I can’t live without you Pulkit.
Pulkit:You don’t worry Nandini.Our love is strong.So I will fight for our love.I promise you.
She smiled with relief.
Present…..
Rohit:You don’t need to fight for your love.Because we support your love.We are not against inter-caste marriages anymore.
Pulkit became very happy.
Rohit:We will meet Nandini’s family and fix your wedding also.
Pulkit:Thank you papa.
Sonakshi:Atleast show her photos to us.
Pulkit:Sure Maa.
They smiled.
Rohit and Sonakshi met Nandini and family.Pulkit Nandini’s wedding also got fixed.
Shiva-Raavi,Aarav-Pooja,Pulkit-Nandini got engaged.
They danced romantically at the engagement function.
Hona Tera Hona
Paana Tumko Paana
Jeena Hai Ye Maana
Pal Bhar Mein Sadiyan
Hai Sadiyon Mein
Jeena Hai Ye Maana
Haath Mein Teri Khushboo Hai
Khushboo Se Dil Behla Hai
Ye Haathon Se Yun Fisla Hai
Ho Jaise Rait Zara Si
Roj Mohabbat Padhta Hai
Dil Ye Tum Se Judta Hai
Hawaon Mein Yun Udta Hai
Ho Jaise Rait Zara Si
Ye Hulchul Dil Ki Ye Hulchul
Bole Aaj Aas Paas Tu Mere
Bikhra Hu Main To
Kuch Pal Hawa Mein
Tere Bharose Ko Thamein
Chalna Bhi Hai Badalna Bhi Hai
Tujhmein Hi To Dhalna Bhi Hai
Dil Thoda Jazbaati Hai
Bhar Jata Hai Baaton Se
Ye Fir Chhalke Yun Aankho Se
Ho Jaise Rait Zara Si
Haath Mein Teri Khushboo Hai
Sach Poocho To Ab Yun Hai
Tu Chehre Pe Mere Thehra
Ho Jaise Ret Zara Si(Atrangi re).
Mehendi function….
The mehendi lady made mehendi designs on the palms of the girls.
Raavi showed her hands to Shiva.
Raavi:Shiva,see your name written in mehendi on my palms.
Shiva:When I know that my name is written in your heart,I don’t need to see anything else Raavi.
They shared a romantic eye lock.
After washing off the mehendi from hands,Pooja looked at her palms and smiled.
She told Aarav:People say that if the mehendi design on our palm is really bright red,the husband will love us more.My mehendi designs look really red on my hands.
Aarav smiled.
Aarav:Not only mehendi designs,my love will make your cheeks also red.Because when I love you,you will make your cheeks red by blushing.
She was blushing.
They had a sweet embrace.
Sangeet function….
Pulkit-Nandini,Aarav-Pooja and Shiva-Raavi had a romantic dance.
Mujhko itna bataaye koyi
Kaise tujh se dil na lagaaye koyi
Rabba ne tujhko benane mein
Kar di hain husn ki khaali tijoriyaan
Kajal ki Siyaahi se likhi
Hain tu ne jaane
Kitnon ki love storiyaan
Kesariya tera ishq hai piya
Rang jaaun jo main
Haath lagaaun
Din beete saara teri fikr mein
Raina saari teri khaira manaaun
Din beete saara teri fikr mein
Raina saari teri khaira manaaun
Patajhad ke mausam mein bhi
Rangi chanaaron jaisi
Jhanke sannaaton mein tu
Veena ke taaron jaisi
Sadiyon se bhi Iambi ye
Man ki amaavasein hain
Aur to phuljhadiyon waale
Tyohaaron jaisi
Chanda bhi deevaana hai tera
Jalti hain tujhse
Saari chakoriyaan
Kaajal ki Siyaahi se likhi
Hain tu ne jaane
Kitnon ki love storiyaan
Kesariya tera ishq hai piya
Rang jaaun jo main
Haath lagaaun
Din beete saara teri fikr mein
Raina saari teri khaira manaaun
Din beete saara teri fikr mein
Raina saari teri khaira manaaun!
Arjun to Lakshmi:You are always dancing with my students.Lakshmi…this time will you dance with me?
Lakshmi:My dear husband,are you jealous of my students as they are getting a chance to dance with me?
He giggled.
Lakshmi:Never mind.I will remove your jealousy by dancing with you.
He smiled.
They both started dancing together.
Kesariya tera ishq hai piya
Rang jaaun jo main
Haath lagaaun
Din beete saara teri fikr mein
Raina saari teri khaira manaaun
Din beete saara teri fikr mein
Raina saari teri khaira manaaun!( Brahmastra).
In front of everyone,Rohit said to Sonakshi:Sona…you are a good dancer.But being a dominating husband,I controlled you and suppressed your passion for dance.I feel ashamed of my act.How difficult it would have been for you to be away from dance?I really apologize from the bottom of my heart for what I did to you.
Sonakshi became emotional.
Rohit:Now I want to correct my mistake.Today at this moment please resume dancing.
Sonakshi was surprised,so as others.All were very happy.
Rani got irritated and told Veena:What is this Maa?In this age,being the daughter in law of the family Sonakshi is going to dance?
Veena:Rani,for peace of mind,happiness is needed.For happiness let them do what they like.
Rani was stunned by Veena’s attitude.
Rohit:Please dance Sonakshi.Let the whole world know how beautifully my wife dances.
Sonakshi smiled happily.
Sonakshi started dancing.Rohit was admiring her dance.

Raavi,Pulkit,Pooja,Aarav,Shiva,Lakshmi and Arjun clapped their hands happily.
Pulkit-Nandini and Shiva-Raavi pasted haldi on each other romantically.
Pulkit-Nandini got lost in each other’s eyes.
Shiva asked Raavi:How was our haldi moment Raavi?
Raavi blushed making him smile.
Aarav told Pooja:Get ready for a sizzling haldi moment honey.
Pooja blushed.
Suddenly Pooja splashed haldi water on him.
Aarav:You naughty girl!
He splashed haldi on her also.
Pooja:So this is your sizzling haldi moment.
They both laughed.
All the 3 couples got married.
After some years….
Rohit took initiative to shift to Mumbai with Sonakshi as he realized that to have a happy married life with Sonakshi,he needed to be away from his narrow minded family.They stayed next to Arjun-Lakshmi’s house.
Sonakshi and Lakshmi spent most of the time together and enjoyed like they used to enjoy during their younger days.Sonakshi also started taking dance classes along with Lakshmi.
Sonakshi participated in a dance reality show of mothers and became the winner.She was very happy to hold the trophy in her hands as it was like her dream came true.
It was a proud moment for Rohit as his wife won the trophy.
Rohit:I am proud of you Sona.
Sonakshi became emotional as she longed to hear these words from Rohit since she started loving Rohit after their marriage.
Sonakshi and Rohit took photographs with the trophy in her hands.
(Credit for the edits goes to my friend Rehana Siraj)
Rohit-Sonakshi had icecream by feeding each other.
Sonakshi:Rohit,I did’nt expect you to be so romantic.Why did you hide your romantic side all these years?
Rohit held her hand and said:Because I was a fool before.But not anymore.I want to romance you every moment and make our life sweet like this icecream.
She smiled.
They embraced each other.
Aarav and Pooja are working in Dubai now.They are enjoying their life there.
Pooja and Raavi keep on having video chats on the phone.The naughty husband Aarav keeps playing with Pooja’s hair while she is chatting with Raavi
and the mischievous Shiva shows funny expressions when Raavi is busy chatting with Pooja.
Pulkit and Nandini are busy doctors now.Still they find time to romance each other.
Shiva is doing his family business now.Raavi is one of the famous upcoming artists of India now.Her paintings are the talk of the country now.
Shiva and Raavi were praying to God.
Raavi said in her mind:I thought that like my mother,even I will have to forget my passion after marriage.But because of Shiva’s support,I am able to live my dream.Thank you God for giving me a supportive husband like Shiva.
The end.
