CH-1 ALAGYAOJHA

PART-9

Five years had passed since this encounter. Panna has grown old now. Kedaar is the owner of the house. Muliya is the mistress. Khunnu and Lakshman are married now: but Kedaar is still unmarried. Says- he won’t marry ever. Talked to many people. many people sent marriage proposals: but he didn’t agree to anyone. Panna set the poles, spread the net, but Kedaar got out. Says-” Who is happy after marriage?? Every person changes after a woman sets foot into the house. Then she becomes his everything. Mother-father, brother-friends, everyone becomes strangers. When even bhaiya changed, then how can anyone count on me?? We have two boys given by God, I don’t want anything else. Without getting married I got two children, what else can I hope for?? If you consider strangers your own then they are your owns, and if you consider your owns strangers then even they are strangers; Its all just a way of thinking. ”

One day Panna said-“ How will your lineage run like this??”

Kedaar-” My lineage are this two boys. I consider them my own.”

Panna-” If consider all this, then do you consider Muliya as your wife too?? ”

With a little blush Kedaar said-” You are bullying me amma!!”

Panna-” This ain’t no bullying, she is just your bhabhi.”

Kedaar-” She won’t ask of someone muscle-headed like me.”

Panna-” If you want me to ask her, I can??”

Kedaar-” No, no, amma she might start crying after that??”

Panna-” If you want, I can ask her in midst of casual chatting.”

Kedaar-“ I don’t know anything of that, do whatever you want.”

Panna understood desires of Kedaar’s heart. The boy has fallen for her, but he is anxious and afraid to ask her out.

Same day she said to Muliya-“ What can I do bahu, my desires are showing no fruits. If Kedaar had also settled down, I would have been totally free.”

Muliya-” But he doesn’t even want to talk about that.”

Panna-” says-” He will marry only that girl who will live together as one with all other in the house.” ”

Muliya-” Where can we find such a girl?? Find somewhere. ”

Panna-“ I have found a girl like that actually. ”

Muliya-” Really !! from where is she??”

Panna-” I can’t say it just now. I want Kedaar to get married, settle down and live life happily. I don’t know whether she will say yes or not. ”

Muliya-” She will surely say yes amma, why won’t she?? He is such a handsome, earning man, where else will she find such a man?? He some past life saint, otherwise who ignores one’s own marriage because of probable house quarrels. Where does she live, I will convince her.”

Panna-” If you want you can easily convince her, it all depends on you.”

Muliya-” I will visit her today itself amma, I will convince her anyhow. ”

Panna-” Oh, let me you, You are the girl itself.”

Muliya blusing-” You are bullying me ammaji.”

Panna-“ What bullying huh?? he is just you devar( brother in law) only.”

Muliya-” Why would he ask of some old like me??”

Panna-” He is waiting only for you. Noone else charm him like you. He is afraid to ask; but I know whats inside his heart.”

Her withered copper face full of grief of Raghu’s death, once more started glowing like a beautiful Lotus. Whatever she lost in last 10 years, she got all of that with interest in this minute. The same elegance, the same charisma, the same charm, the same flexibility!! everything returned.
