Dil ki Manmaniyan, Khwahishon ki Udaariyaan (Episode 2)

Hi Guys! I am back with the second episode of my series.

The narrative of the last episode was a lot play like, but this time you all will get a chance to realise that what is actually going inside the hearts of all… So why wait, let’s start reading…

……

Amrik and Tejo were surprised to find Buzo’s house locked early in the morning. Amrik called him up and he took some time to pick the call.

Buzo: Waah, how come you remembered me early in the morning?

Amrik: Good morning Paaji! I was planning to handle the accounts of Academy and Parjaeji wanted to have a word with you..

Buzo: What are you saying bhai, you are going to do a job…Mubarakan ji mubarakan. O pass the phone to Parjaeji.

Amrik passes the phone to Tejo.

Buzo: Greetings Bhabhi! Tell me honestly, it was you only na, who managed to fill some sense into this dumb headed guy.

Tejo (playfully scolds): Buzo ji mind your words. You are forgetting that you are talking about my devar. (Laughs) Arre I wanted to thank you for helping us make a special day for Fateh.

Buzo: Bhabhi ji, now you are forgetting that you are talking about my best friend. I am even ready to sacrifice my life for him. So no thank you for it.

Tejo: Ok. (smiles and passes the phone to Amrik)

Amrik: Bhai, where are you?

Buzo: I am at my home.

Amrik: But your house is locked. We are standing in front of it.

Buzo: Actually, I have come to my maternal home, that’s why the house is locked. After all Biji’s home is my home only.

Amrik finds it weird but cuts the call and drops Tejo to the adjacent pind.

On the way, Tejo thinks that Fateh doesn’t have any time for her. She further thinks how Jasmin suddenly came to the Academy a day before. She then remembers how Jasmin’s perfume and Fateh’s shirt smelled the same. Are they having an affair? Is this why Jasmin remains so happy these days even on getting to know of Gippy’s betrayal? And is this why, Fateh ignores her these days? She thinks and then says to herself in the mind, “Shut up Tejo, what are you thinking? Have you gone crazy? How can you even think all this rubbish? Stop reading all the fiction which is driving your head crazy.” She decides to divert her mind and gets happy thinking how her equation with Gurpreet and Amrik is changing and becoming better. She suddenly hears some girl on road calling her Mami and instantly remembers her Mami’s words, how she earned her of Jasmin and Fateh. She gets lost in deep thought and feels troubled.

Amrik asks Tejo whether they have reached the correct place,but finds her lost somewhere. He shakes her a bit and she comes back to senses.

Tejo (sudden response): Hn. What happened?

Amrik: Are you okay?

Tejo: Y-yes I am.

Amrik: We have reached.

Tejo: Oh, I did not realise. Thank you Amrik for dropping me off.

Amrik (smiles): You can call me when you are done. I will come to pick you up.

Tejo: It’s not needed Amrik. Thanks. I will manage myself and I am feeling better than before. Thank you once again.

Saying so, she leaves and ask herself to stop overthinking. She starts taking classes.

……..

Fateh and Jasmin are sitting beside a pond and are completely lost into each other.

Jasmin: Fateh, Tejo is the other woman in your life, coz she came into your life after, actually she never came in your life. You were always mine and you will always be. I know you do not love anyone more than me. In fact, you only live me. But at times, like yesterday, I feel as if I am the other woman of your life.

Fateh: Jasmin look I have already cleared everything to you. You know I was helpless. I did took a stand for you.

Jasmin: But you associated me as your wife’s family and not your own. When will you tell everyone the truth. Tejo wil also be free from the burden of this non-existent relation. I worry for her too, after all she is my elder sister.

The mention of Tejo pushed Fateh into deep ponder. He always felt guilty and like cheating upon her. He felt as if he was not only acting as the worst husband, but also as a worse friend. He did not feel like hurting her, though he knew within that he was already hurting her. Somehow, he wasn’t able to forget her, the time spent with her and that night, full of passion. He also felt miserable upon the thought that he hadn’t told anything about that night to Jasmin, due to the fear of losing her. Jasmin interrupted her thoughts and repeated her question. Fateh gently kissed her cheeks and made her lay down on his lap and looking into her eyes said, “Soon, very soon.”

……….

Amrik was driving his car and was going straight to the Academy. Suddenly, he saw Jasmin in the rear mirror. He stopped the car and looked back. There was no one. He blushed. It was his imagination. He felt happy within as he realised that gradually he was falling in her love. Life seemed bright with her presence and every morning he felt alive and remained fresh all day, thinking about her. He always liked her. First as her Veere’s best choice, later as a friend and now as a…he blushed even more thinking about it. He could hear the words ‘Pehla nasha pehla khumar, naya pyaar hai, naya intezaar’ ringing melodiously in his ears. He was now getting along better with her. She had finally moved on. He was happy at this thought. He was also realising that he was too harsh towards Fateh and Tejo as he felt that their marriage had spoilt Jasmin’s dreams, her marriage and her life. He was always her well wisher. After all, she is beautiful, sweet, cute and innocent, he thought. He was trying to improve his relation with Tejo, not because she was Jasmin’s elder sister, though this was also a reason, the secondary one. But primarily, he always liked Tejo as a person and held no grudges against her, but the recent developments had actually hurt him as he felt that all the three lives of Fateh, Jasmin and Tejo would spoil due to one wrong decision of agreeing to get married on elders’ behest to save the honour of two families. And when everything was sorted now, his Bhai-Bhabhi had moved on and were happy now and so was his Jasmin. He smiled and started to feel shy. So he was bound to make a new start with her Bhabhi all once again. After all, how could he marry Jasmin without her consent. He blushed profusely at this thought and became red. His thoughts were disrupted by the honking of multiple vehicles and screaming of the people nearby. He came back to senses. His thoughts had inadvertently halted the traffic and jammed the road. He apologized and started driving. He said to himself that he won’t make a move instantly, but will take time and give spaces to Jasmin. Her second relation had broken just now. He could not take the risk. Already he had seen how going too fast had the potential to break hearts, like in the case of Tejo-Jazz and Jasmin-Gippy. Thinking so, he drived further.

……….

Tejo was teaching the kids, when she felt that she saw Buzo there. She asked herself to stop overthinking as she had been already imagining things since morning. She was done with the class and saw Candy. She took out a tennis ball from her purse and handed over to him, who in turn smiled at her and said, ‘Thank you Mami’. She smiled, held his hand and they both started off towards Simran’s place.
