Diya cries in pain. She recalls her first day in office.
Diya had newly joined the office and the moment she arrived in office the whole staff assembled there started laughing at her
Diya didn’t understand why they were laughing.
Reeta ; Look at her . She has no class at all …Pata nahin kahan kahan se aati hein…
Diya didn’t says anything as she was almost used with these type of things…
Diya thought As usual here also people are judging me for my looks, for my skin tone….
Suddenly a voice was heard ; Miss Diya Mathur welcome to our office.
Diya surprisingly looked the man who welcomed her in such a nice way
And you Miss Reeta for your kind information she is your team leader and you should respect her .
Reeta ; Sir you are joking ? How can a girl like she be the team leader ?
Armaan : Miss Diya Mathur qualified from the top university , gold medalist and more qualified than you ….The company directly appointed her here….Is it clear Reeta and if you dare to say anything against her let me remind you being the authority head I have full rights to cut off your position . And I will hire a better person who is sensible and intelligent.
Reeta : Not just me even others also laughed …..Sir ..
Armaan : What you…
Diya : Excuse me ……Sir this is not a new thing…And I don’t want to make it as a big issue….Often people looks me that way and I prefer to stay my eyes as down ….I am almost tired defending myself in many places ……Get educated and become decent is actually we all are supposed to do . But often educated people also behaves indecently when they sees me , my skin colour …..
Armaan : Have you heard it All Glitters are not Gold ? Same way the one who thinks everything as fair and bright won’t be the same always . Inside their might be so much darkness and I believe in those people who are honest like you , fair in all means and you are bold and beautiful.
Diya gets impressed with Armaan’s words . She looked him with a smile. He also smiled
Armaan ; All the best .
Diya : Thank you Sir.
Armaan warned the whole staff for doing such a low deed . While he was advising them Diya was simply adoring him with a smile.
Armaan : Diya that’s your cabin…
Diya nodded her head
Diya started feeling more confident since Armaan appreciated her hardwork and dedication. Days passed and one day as part of a business deal both Diya and Armaan had to travel Delhi . During that journey they had casual conversations rather than official matters and they get to know more about each other
The quarters which they were staying unfortunately underwent a fire blast and the police , fire rescue team were trying hard to rescue people from there….Armaan got worried as he didn’t find Diya….He screamed Diya !!!
Sir abb andar koyi nahin hein…Aaag fail chuke hein….Buri tarah se…
Armaan : Diya…Shayad Diya andar hein…Mein usse bachawunga….
Sir it’s highly risk . May be you will lose your life….
Armaan ; Whatever happens I will never leave Diya’s hand.
Armaan breaks the backdoor and manages to get inside….Diya was crying inside seeing Armaan she screamed.. Armaan Sir ….
Sir puri tarah se aag hein….Aapko yahan nahin aana chahiye…Why you risked your life for me ? Mein jiyun yaa marun kisse kya fark padta hein ?
Armaan cups her face and says
Fark padta hein….Because you are special to me….And I can’t see you in pain…..Yahan se bachke jaayenge toh hum saath mein jaayenge…Nahin toh saath mein marenge…
Diya : Armaan Sir !!!
Armaan : I don’t know next moment what will happen. But we together will face it….Trust me Diya please…..
Diya : I trust you more than myself Armaan Sir
They both pressed their foreheads emotionally.
Both of them manages to escape from the fire blast…..Later when they reached the office Diya suddenly run inside her cabin and stood near the window…Armaan came behind her
Armaan : Diya whatever I said at that moment that came from my heart…I always felt you as very special….I don’t know what you feels but the moment when I see you in that way I didn’t think about anything else….
Diya : I am a normal person an employee ….Nothing special Armaan Sir….
Armaan : If this is true then you should have told me this by looking at my eyes Diya….
Diya : Nazrein jhuki ho toh hi accha hein …..Jab se nazar udayi hoon tab se aap khade ho jaate ho mere saamne aur mein…..Sir….I am leaving….
Diya turned but her leg slipped suddenly and Armaan hold her by her waist. They both had an intense eyelock
jhuki jhuki si nazar beqaraar hai ke nahin
daba daba sa sahee dil mein pyaar hai ke nahin
tu apne dil ki jawaan dhadkanon ko gin ke bata
meri tarah tera dil beqaraar hai ke nahin
wo pal ke jis mein mohabbat jawaan hoti hai
us ek pal ka tujhe intezaar hai ke nahin plays ..
Armaan : Diya I will never let you to fell down …..
Diya didn’t says anything.. One day Diya got surprised with Armaan’s gesture…
Diya : Sir why you called me here ? Today is weekend ….Aaj office bhi nahin..
Armaan brings a cake for her
Armaan : Happy Birthday Diya….
Diya : Birthday…
Armaan ; Yeah I saw your date of birth from the biodata which you submitted at office….And I have baked this cake specially for you Diya….This is the first time I have baked a cake….So I don’t know whether it’s good or bad…
Diya felt very emotional
Armaan : Diya you didn’t liked it …Koyi baat nahin …..Kuch aur mangata hoon…
Diya ; Thank you Armaan Sir….Post my mother’s death I never celebrated my birthday…Paapa ko woh sab pasand nahin…..Mein pasand nahin unhein….Das saal ho gaye aur mein bhool chuki hoon kee meri birthday kab hein…..Aur aaj aap….
Armaan ; You don’t need to tell anything …I can read your eyes ….Diya..
He suddenly lifted her in his arms
Diya : Sir what are you doing ?
Armaan ; Diya don’t stop me today please…I want to tell what my heart feels for you and I know you also feels something for me ….
Diya shouted in anger : I don’t feel anything for you…..And how dare you touch me ?
Armaan got shocked . He realeased her from his arms…
Diya : Mr. Armaan Malhotra stay away from me …We both had official bonding only…Nothing apart from that …..Don’t call me like these again and never cross your limits….I don’t feel anything for you and it will never happen…..
Armaan : I am sorry Diya….
Armaan walks away…..Diya feels sad….
Diya came back from her thoughts..She looked herself in mirror
Diya…
Diya : Paapa ….
Ashutosh ; If you likes Armaan then why are you hiding your feelings ?
Diya ; But Paapa you only told me to keep my eyes as always down and I find it as …
Ashutosh : Galat thaa mein puri umar galat thaa….I had a complex that why my daughter had a dark skin tone when my wife is not like that…Your mother Priya always advised me not to give wrong teachings to you…..But I never listened her…..When Priya passed away and I got paralysed and bed ridden I realized my sinful teachings..You are looking after this home , this unwanted Ashutosh , everything….Job, responsibilities and the useless me didn’t do anything for my daughter…But now I won’t do the same mistake….Go and tell that you loves Armaan Diya…
Diya : But Paapa ….How can I ……I mean….
Ashutosh : Your father taught you nazrein jhukake chalo and he rectified it as nazrein udake chalo ….And now I am saying it from heart Your eyes should bow down in only love for him the moment you will blush in colours of love ……Rather than never bow down your eyes Diya…..You are my daughter and I am always proud of you…..
Diya ; Paapa he always tried so many indirect ways to confess his feelings….But I always stopped him or acted as rude….
Ashutosh : Don’t do it again Diya….You deserves the best man and Armaan loves you unconditionally….
She keeps her head in his lap and weeped like a kid…
Diya ; I don’t have that much right to dream ahead Paapa. You have changed but this society always they will mock me see the man he is tall and handsome and her wife is so ugly….Not good looking…..Mein Armaan Sir ko sirf scooty pe lift hi de sakti hoon. Unke saath kadam milake zindagi bhar humsafar nahin ban sakti……
Ashutosh ; What all things this society says never listen to it Diya…Chaar log hein yeh society joh looks ke liye judgmental hote hein kabhi kisi ki body shaming karte hein kisi ko mentally abuse karte hein ….Yeh naa jaane kab tak chalta rahega…But in between we all are surviving ….But to live life in fulliest means we should get love and the one who rewards you love you should never run from that person…..Go and meet him….Diya…
Diya comes down and finds Armaan sitting alone as depressed in chair…..She sat beside him
She gently touched his shoulder .
Armaan : Diya
Diya ; Mein lifelong aapko meri scooty mein mere saath bithana chahti hoon…..I also enjoys spending time with you….In fact I don’t want to lose you Armaan….That day when you saved me fire blast I saw the care for me in your eyes and it made me to feel very special….I felt like after my mother some one had understood me so well some one likes me whole heartedly and I always wanted to be yours Armaan
Armaan : Then why you were stopping me always ? Why your eyes were down ?
Armaan cupped her face and looked her
Armaan ; It hurt me lot Diya …I always told my words as straight and honest towards you….But you always bow down your eyesight and at your birthday the way you reacted was …..
Diya : I am sorry Armaan Sir..But I am also a part of this judgentmal society and I ignored my heart’s feelings and behaved rude towards you..My intention was not to hurt you ,never ever I will do it Armaan Sir…..Because I ….I love you so much..I felt you as very special that day itself when you stood for me , my dignity when I joined office….That day itself I felt may be my mother’s soul has blessed me that’s why I met a good hearted person….But a thought of feeling myself as low and the way my Paapa used to say people will judge me for my looks I never had the courage to express my feelings for you …..I am sorry for that day….
Armaan : You don’t need to say sorry Diya….I can understand it….Your eyes won’t lie and thats’s why even after I got hurt I tried to tell my feelings through certain ways…..Today from hearing those magical words I felt I have achieved everything….Diya be yourself always and what others say don’t bother it….We can’t change te attitude of those so called hypocratical society ….But together we can live long and we can show them that real beauty is between the two individuals who loves each other passionately and love makes life beautiful…I truely love you Diya….
He kissed her forehead which she felt as magical
Diya ; And your family Armaan Sir ? Will they accept me ?
Armaan ; My family is very progressive minded. They don’t believe in looks and all…Regarding relatives I can’t guarantee….Abb kuch naa kuch khatta toh meethe ke saath honge naa…Don’t mind it …And never bother about anything….All you need is to love me only…And I will hold you like these
He held her close towards his body from her back
Diya : Oh really ? So what about job ?
Armaan ; There also we can romance through hide and seek…..My sweet heart….
Diya : But Armaan Sir….
Armaan ; Armaan is enough , you don’t need to call me Sir Diya….
Diya : It will take time for me to adapt that change….I hope you don’t mind…..At office I will call you Sir and at home I will try to call Armaan…
Armaan : As your wish Diya…
With the approval and blessings of their families Armaan and Diya gets married .
At the wedding night Armaan suggested something to Diya
Diya : Are you sure I am able to ….
Armaan : If you feels comfortable and confident then please do what I say..The box is been kept at the corner side table…
Diya : I will surely try Armaan ….But not now….I mean tomorrow …Or may be any other day…
Armaan : Only if you are okay do it…I won’t force you anything on you…Just that being your husband it’s a small wish from your hubby…..
Diya ; I understand
Armaan ; And you can also suggest me that kind of things…..I mean that’s also part of compatability
Diya : Will we just talk only whole night ?
Armaan : Oh so what are you expecting my sweet wife ?
Diya : My sweet hubby ? These jewels are so heavy and I want you should remove it with your magical hands and ….
Armaan : And what ?
Diya : You are so naughty….
Armaan whispered at her ear : For every wife her husband is a naughty kid when they are alone…
They both romanced each other passionately at their wedding night
During morning Diya wears the elegant red saree gifted by Armaan for her. Armaan gets mesmerized with her beauty.
Armaan ; I told you naa this saree will suit you….But you were refusing you always prefer light colours don’t had habit of wearing bright colours…
Diya : You made me and my life both as colourful….And Armaan now that complex of choosing colours has gone ….Also I tried the hairstyle which you suggest…You know what always I thought I am not supposed to do anything regarding my dresses, hairstyle and jewels . As whatever I will do …
Armaan : Diya not again..
Diya : I want to say you just break that low thought from me and with your love I started loving myself also ….
Armaan ; You are happy naa ?
Diya : Very much happy and you are the reason for my happiness…
Armaan helds her closer and says ;Now my eyes bowed down in love for you Diya…And always I love you the way you are and for me always you are the most bold and beautiful person,my sweet wife…
They lived happily ever after.
AN : Thank you Sivabarghavi for suggesting me the plot. Jasmine had asked me to share the song from the original movie which inspired this write up. Sorry Jasmine the movie is not available on any social media and the songs are also not uploaded. So I didn’t get the songs…I watched the movie during childhood only and it’s Sivabarghavi who narrated me the whole story . The movie was way ahead of times which carried such a theme in a good way of presentation. I hope you all liked this. Please drop your views.
