Bepanah Pyaar: An unsurprisingly tale of love and longing ( Chapter 12)

Raghbir get mesmerized seeing Baani as he imagines Pragati in Baani.

Warden: Baani, what are you wearing? Where is your uniform?

Baani: Mam, it was not rinsed.

Warden: No, no wear your uniform along with a sweater. Otherwise, I will not allow you to go outside.

Baani looks at Raghbir but he didn’t react.

Raghbir: I will wait in the parking area.

After a while,

Baani returns in uniform. Raghbir starts his bullet bike. Just then, he receives a call from Baani’s mother. She wished to talk to Baani. He hands over the phone to Baani.

Mother: Baani, don’t talk unnecessarily. If he wants to come close then,

Baani: I will refuse.

Mother: Don’t refuse, ask him to wait until the wedding. Which vehicle did he bring?

Baani: Bullet Bike. Okay then, I will…

Mother: On Bullet Bike? They have 2 cars then also he brought a bike? He intentionally brought that bike. But you have to maintain the gap. Your alliance is not yet fixed.

Baani: Okay Mummy bye…

Mother: Hey listen…

Baani disconnected the phone and hands over to Raghbir.

Raghbir smiles listening to their talks.

Then, they both heads over to an old monument type building.

After reaching there, they sit on a bench.

Raghbir scribbled something on the bench using a small pebble.

Baani: Are you writing names? You can write on walls also.

Raghbir: No, nothing like that. Did you know, our alliance is about to fix?

Baani: Yes…

Raghbir: Did you know about me?

Baani: Yes, you are my sister’s husband’s brother.

Raghbir: Is that enough for you?

Baani: You also just know that I am your Bhabhi’s sister. My family told that you like me, so…

Raghbir: That was two years ago…

Baani: That means you didn’t like me now?

Raghbir: No that’s now the case. Bhabhi didn’t tell you anything about my Delhi tour?

Baani: She told me.

Raghbir: That didn’t affect you?

Baani nods ‘NO’.

Baani: Before marriage, I have no rights on you. Yes, but after marriage, if you did anything like that then I have full right on you.

Raghbir: Didn’t you want full detail of the past two years?

Baani nods ‘NO’.

Raghbir: But I want to give. It is better than listening to stories from others. I want to tell you myself.

Baani nods her head.

Raghbir tells the whole incident from meeting Pragati to how he fell in love with her gradually. And at last her surprising engagement.

At Hostel,
In park,

Baani: Then what about that girl who was standing on the platform?

Raghbir: Friendship never gets converted into Love. She did two pieces of her relation. She kept the friendship and I bought love with me.

Baani: Now, where is she?

Raghbir: I don’t know.

From the college,

Warden: Baani, how much time will you take? Classes are about to start.

Baani (to Raghbir): I feel pleasure after hearing you. Nowadays, no one talks like this about their past. I must leave now.

Next scene,

After few months,

Raghbir and his family return from Baani and Raghbir’s engagement.

Raghbir gets shocked after noticing Pragati’s father standing in front of his house.

The scene shifted to a car.

Inside the car, Shamsher and Raghbir were there.

“Fakira” song plays in the background.

Maine apna tujhe maana hai

Teri rooh ko pehchana hai

Har waqt ye kehta hai dil

Tere saath mujhe jaana hai

Rehne laga tu aise mujhmein

Khil uthe din raat mere ae…

O fakira, oo.. fakira

Mujhe le chal saath tere

O fakira, oo.. fakira

Mujhe le chal saath tere

Raghbir has teary-eyed. All the moments spend with Pragati were visible in his eyes.

As soon as they reach Delhi, Raghbir hurriedly runs towards a building but get stopped after realising something.

Shamsher asks him to follow him.

Raghbir is asked to enter a room. Raghbir enters the room hurriedly but after peeping inside from the door itself just for a millisecond, he gets hell shocked and runs outside to find a wall for his support.

He leans on the wall.

Saath agar tu hai toh

Duniya mein sab hai yaara

Ishq meri hai jaat

Ishq hi majhab hai yaara

Tere bina ye jee na laage

Aakar thaam le haath mere

O fakira, oo.. fakira

Mujhe le chal saath tere

Raghbir (thinks): What I had thought and what has happened?
God went to sleep when it was our turn.
So where do we go now?
Who do we pray to?

Raghbir weeps his tears and tries to gather the courage to enter the room.

It is revealed that it was a hospital.
He enters the room and saw Pragati was hospitalised there.

Nurses and doctor were around her.

Raghbir grazes at Pragati for a moment and knocks on the door.

Pragati look at Raghbir.

Toot ke palkon se ye moti na bikhar jaaye

Darr lagta hai tujh bin be maut na mar jaaye

Toot ke palkon se ye moti na bikhar jaaye

Darr lagta hai tujh bin be maut na mar jaaye

Sunn le kabhi toh do ghadi tu

Dil ke jazbaat mere

O fakira, oo.. fakira

Mujhe le chal saath tere

O fakira, oo.. fakira

Mujhe le chal saath tere

Raghbir smiles a little.

Raghbir: Excuse me, 11/47, upper one or lower one?

Pragati remembers their first meeting and smiles.

Raghbir: Why are you smiling? Is your lottery out?

Pragati: Then why are you smiling?

Raghbir (in his mind): Because my lottery is out.
