Innocent Steps (Kanchi) episode 6 by ziya

Hi guys, ziya here back with my next episode. Thanku guys for your love and suggestions. Keep supporting…???

Recap: sanchi and sunny get to know about the crisis at home. Jaya asks sanchi to marry Kabir to save their business.
Gayatri (on call) : that’s a great news. If you won’t mind, let me handle all the arrangements. And we don’t want much publicity. Just a simple function with very little guests.

She hangs the call and and again smiles (it’s hard to say if her smile is wicked or genuine. She is a bit creepy)
She calls in her assistant
Gayatri: James, I want you to overlook all the arrangements. And be careful, no media. Also, let’s not give out the details till the date.
Gayatri drops by kabirs office.
Kabir: ma? What brings you here.
He gets up and let’s gayatri sit in his chair.

Gayatri: I am thinking of fixing your marriage for the 16th of this month. I just wanted to confirm with you. I want you to cancel all your meetings and be free next week.
Kabir: I’ll talk with miss Fernandez to adjust my schedule
Gayatri: are you sure you don’t want a big function
Kabir: no ma, let’s keep it simple.
Gayatri: I’ve sent you sanchi’s number. You should meet.
Kabir: sanchi kaun?
Gayatri: your would be wife. Sanchi Mishra. At least remember her name
Kabir: sorry ma.
Gayatri: take her out for a coffee. You both can get to know each other.
Kabir: sure ma. I’ll take out time from my schedule.
Gayatri: I’ll get going then. And please Kabir, it’s your marriage. So please try to be like a normal groom. And don’t forget about your sherwani fitting. Ask Emma to arrange a meeting with the designer asap.
Miss Fernandez enters after gayatri leaves.
Emma: I have set an appointment with your designer. We need to confirm with sanchi also. And today evening your schedule isn’t much packed. Should I reserve a table for you two for this evening
Kabir: let it be. I’ll meet her on our wedding. You can leave.
Miss Fernandez turns to go, bit then stops
Emma: Kabir, as I friend, I feel it’s time to let her go. That’s what she also wanted.
Without waiting for his reply, she leaves the office.
Kabir opens his draw and takes out a framed photo of him and a girl (Jennifer winger)
He goes into flash back
It’s a beautiful grassland abroad. Jenny is sitting enjoying the warm day. Kabir (in his early thirties) sleeps in her lap. Jenny adores him. She moves her hand above his face making it sunny and shady on his face. Kabir opens his eyes and holds her hand
Kabir: I know a better way to get shade.
Jenny: really?
He pulls her face closer
Kabir: don’t dare me
She pushes him from her lap, “flirt”
He sits close to her and holds her closer sideways
Kabir : then let me flirt a bit
Jenny just rests her head on his shoulder
Jenny: Kabir..
Kabir: mhh?
Jenny: I wish we could always be close like this. I don’t want anything more from life. Just your shoulder to lean on.
Kabir: if you only keep leaning, then how will I have kids?
Jenny hits him: Kabir…!!!
Kabir: ok, I’ll always lend you my shoulder. I have been lending it for the past five years. So fifty more years isn’t a big deal.

Jenny is silent. Kabir notices tears in her eyes.
Kabir: what happened sweetheart. Did I do something
Jenny: I love you Kabir. I always will love only you
Kabir: I know. And I will love only you.
Jenny: no kabir. Promise me that I won’t be your last love.
Kabir: ok. I’ll love our daughters also. Happy
Jenny gives a sweet peck on his cheek
Jenny: you promised to grant all my wishes today. So I’m asking you a promise
Kabir : what?
Jenny: you know I love you very much and want to spend my whole life with you, but if we had to go on our separate ways, and if ever we happen to marry someone else, then promise me that you’ll give your wife all the respect and love
Kabir: what is …
Jenny keeps her finger on his lips
Jenny: shh.. hear me out. I don’t know what is in store for us. I don’t know if we’ll be together always. So please promise me that you’ll move on in life if I leave you. Promise you’ll welcome a new love in your life
Kabir: that’s it. I won’t take any more of this nonsense.
He angrily leaves from there.
Jenny: sorry Kabir
Kabir comes out his flash back. He looks at the photo with tears in his eyes and murmurs , “ promise!”

Meanwhile our sanchi is in her worst mood ever, throwing tantrums at Isha and pragya.
Though she agreed for the marriage, she is still confused over her decision.
Isha and pragya try cheering her. They discuss about the wedding dress
Pragya: just few days and so many things to buy. I think I’ll go crazy
Isha: we need to go to the parlour also. There are lots to do
Sanchi: I don’t want to do anything
Ishagya: come on sanchi. It’s your wedding. You need to look the best. Whether you like it or not
Pragya: you agreed for marriage. So go on with it. Accept it happily
Isha: waise BHI pyaar Shaadi ke BAAD BHI hi Sakta Hain
Dil charkhe ki ik tu dori
Dil charkhe ki ik tu dori
Sufi iska rang haaye
Ismein jo tera khwaab piroya
Ismein jo tera khwaab piroya
Neendein bani patang

Ishagya drags sanchi with them. They stop for coffee and fuss over the pastry to select. Sanchi acts to be happy. But her smile is melonchaly.
Dil bharta nahi
Aankhein rajjti nahi
Dil bharta nahi
Aankhen rajjti nahi

Kabir tries on his sherwani. There is no excitement on his side also. He just do things mechanically.
Chaahe kitna bhi dekhti jaaun
Waqt jaaye main rok na paaun

Sanchi and friends get out of their car and goes to meet the designer. While sanchi and ishagya enter through one door, Kabir and miss Fernandez exit through the other on the side. It’s a glass door. Sanchi turns once she is inside. She sees kabirs back but doesn’t make much of it. Same goes with Kabir.
Tu thodi der aur thehar ja sohneya
Tu thodi der aur thehar ja
Tu thodi der aur thehar ja zaalima
Tu thodi der aur thehar ja…
Ha…

The usually happy and childish sanchi is missing during dinner. She doesn’t bother to even pick her usual fight with sunny. Jaya looks at Sunil sadly. Sanchi silently eats her dinner. Even Kabir is more than usually silent during his dinner.
Haaye din tere bin ab jee na paaye
Din tere bin ab jee na paaye
Saans na leti raat
Ishq kare tere honthon se
Ishq kare mere honthon se
Bas ik teri baat

sanchi’s mother shows her jewellery and other things. Jaya tries them on sanchi, but sanchi leaves angrily. Sunny tries to talk with her but she closes the door on his face

Teri doori na sahun
Door khud se rahun
Teri doori na sahun
Door khud se rahun
Tere pehlu mein hi reh jaaun
Tu hi samjhan jo main chaahun

She sits thinking on her bed. She takes out her diary again and goes through her dreams. On the other side Kabir also thinks sitting in his study. The table lamp goes on and off.
Tu thodi der aur thehar ja sohneya
Tu thodi der aur thehar ja
Tu thodi der aur thehar ja zaalima
Tu thodi der aur thehar ja…

And now time skips to the wedding.
Sanchi was looking nothing less than out of a fairy tale. She was looking heavenly in a pale pink lehenga with pearl and bead embroidery. She wore matching pearl ornaments and uncut diamond.
She was super tensed. Ishagya were trying their best to de-stress her, but nothing seemed to worked. Someone informed about the arrival of the groom, and asked her to stay ready to come down when called. Both her friends try to calm sanchi by rubbing her hands.
Sanchi: I need a shot of vodka
Ishagya: what???
Isha: ok , calm down sanchi. It’s ok
Pragya: will whiskey do?
Isha smacks her: shut up. It’s just because she is tensed
Sanchi: should I run away
Pragya whispers to Isha: should we help her
Isha is fed up
Isha: look sanchi. It’s just going to be fine. Every girl goes through this phase. You are just scared because you are going to start a new life. Instead think how beautiful it’s going to Youll get to do new things, you’ll get new relations. You’ll get one more person to share all your joys and sorrows and secrets. (Mischievously) you’ll also get to go on a honeymoon
Pragya: and also a FIRST night
They both laugh
Isha: I can’t wait for the morning
Pragya: me too. He must have been suppressing for so long. He might let loose for the beast in him today
Isha: ya, I’m sure he won’t let you sleep tonight
Pragya: give us every detail of what happens. Even the minute ones.
Sanchi: I think I should just run away from my marriage!!!
Kabir arrives in an ivory coloured sherwani. He is looking super dashing.
Our beautiful sanchi is brought down.
She is seated in the mandap
(Kacchi doriyon, doriyon, doriyon se
Mainu tu baandh le
Pakki yaariyon, yaariyon, yaariyon mein
Honde na faasley)
Sanchi’s eyes have tears in them. She tries hard not to cry. There is no smile on her face. She robotically does all the rasams. Next to her sits kabir with a serious khadoos face.
(Eh naraazgi kaagzi saari teri
Mere sohneya sunn le meri
Dil diyan gallan
Karaange naal naal beh ke
Akh naale akh nu milaa ke)
Sanchi extends her hand over the hawan kund. The pandit keeps putting things on her hand and she robotically puts them to the hawan. The pandit finishes this rasam but her hand is still stretched, and she is lost. Her hand drips down to the fire bit a strong palm supports it under. She looks to see kabir with a serious expression, not looking at her.

(Dil diyan gallan haaye…
Karaange roz roz beh ke
Sacchiyan mohabbataan nibha ke)
They do the varmala. Sanchi looks up for the first time to see kabir. And he still has the same khadoos expression. As they take rounds, Sanchi looks on with a confused expression as she follows kabir

(Tenu lakhan ton chhupa ke rakhaan
Akkhaan te sajaa ke tu ae meri wafaa
Rakh apna bana ke
Main tere layi aan
Tere layi aan yaaran
Naa paavin kade dooriyan (x2))
Sanchi throws behind the grains. Jaya collects them with tears. She hugs ishagya and cry. They both kiss her on the cheeks. She hugs Sunil and cries. Sunny comes and gives her a gift. She goes to Jaya. Jaya comes forward to hug her, but she moves backwards. Jaya just blesses her. Sanchi sits in the car with Kabir. Jaya and gayatri hug and take leave.

(Main jeena haan tera…
Main jeena haan tera
Tu jeena hai mera
Dass lena ki nakhra dikha ke)
Sanchi is still in cry mode. Kabir hands over a kerchief without looking at her. Sanchi wipes her tears and looks at him sideways.
(Dil diyan gallan
Karaange naal naal beh ke
Akh naale akh nu mila ke
Dil diyan gallan…)
Sanchi and Kabir enter the malhotra mansion. Gayatri welcomes her by hugging her. She asks some old woman in the family to do her arti..she asks the servant to show sanchi her room. Sanchi comes to the room and looks around. She sits on the bed and waits for Kabir….
Precap: Kabir and sanchi’s first night!!!
