CHAPTER 40
LATER THAT NIGHT
After all the guests had left, The elderly ladies sat downstairs to discuss tomorrow’s preparations while all the youngsters gathered in Ragini’s room to chat.
Laksh (entering her room) : Baap Re! What the hell is this?
Ragini (surprised) : Why? What’s so wrong with this room?
Laksh : Ragini! It’s purple… Who the hell likes purple? Your taste is ghatiya!
Karan (raising an eyebrow) : Bhai! She chose me… What are you telling?
Everyone burst out laughing while Laksh tapped Karan’s shoulder reassuringly.
Laksh : Bhai! Don’t worry. I’m not talking about her taste in guys. I’m talking about her taste in colours.
Swara : Dramebaaz! Stop teasing my sister!
Laksh ( winking) : NO!
Ragini : Laksh! We’re supposed to be on the same team and here you are teasing me. You go to the other team, It’s ok. I have Karan!
Laksh : Arre! Sorry, Meri Ma! I want to be on Swara’s side… Please..
He made puppy dog eyes at her and she relented, throwing a pillow at him, which he caught and gave a flying kiss to her. Ragini rollled her eyes and laughed.
They all sat down, The girls on the bed and the guys sat on chairs.
Uttara : Vaise Adarsh bhai! Speaking of tastes, Your taste is also nice. Sakshi Bhabhi is so sweet. Perfect for you.
Adarsh : Obviously. She’s my choice na?
Sakshi blushed while Karan, Aarav, Laksh and Sanskaar snickered.
Laksh : Bhai! Don’t be so boastful. Do you know how things might have turned out if Swara and Sanskaar had not been there? If Ma had not clarified everything. So you should not be the one who is boastful. The credit goes to Ma and then Swara and Sanskaar.
Adarsh (seriously but softly ) : I know Laksh! I know.
He gazed at Sakshi, took her hands and kissed them. Ragini-Karan and Swara- Sanskaar looked at each other and smiled.
Aarav (groaning) : Arre yaar! Stop this romance. It’s too much!
Sanskaar : Accha ji! And if Antara was here, then? Don’t you remember the number of times I had to suffer while you and Antara were all gooey eyed over each other?
Aarav looked anywhere but at them while they teased him. Finally, Uttara motioned them all to stop.
Uttara : Am I the only person who can focus on the topic. Everyone… This is war! We CANNOT give up…
The others looked at Uttara like she was an alien.
Swara : Uttara meri Ma? This is a wedding. What the hell are you blabbering? (touching her forehead) Do you have fever?
Uttara shrugs off Swara’s hand and places her hand on her hips.
Uttara : What is wrong with you people? Swara bhabhi, You know I love you but this is war. The girls’ and the boys’ side are against each other. We need to decide teams. Again once more. No excuses from anyone. Choose one person.
Swara (muttering to Sanskaar) : I thought our Uttara was a docile and sweet girl, But she turned out to be a lioness.
Sanskaar (chuckling) : I know. She’s always been like that. So competitive. I pity the guy who’s going to end up with her.
Swara : Sanskaar! That’s mean… Uttara isn’t that bad.
Sanskaar : Arre! Toh, When did I tell she’s bad… But her to be husband… Oh shit! Only God can save him.
Uttara (looking at them suspiciously) : What are you both talking about?
Swara (winking at Sanskaar) : Uttara! Your brother is very bad. He was telling that your future husband will suffer.
She chuckled looking at Uttara’s indignant expression and then looked at Sanskaar who stared back, payback promised in his eyes.
Uttara : Bhai! I should go over to Swara’s side just because of this. ( throwing him a haughty look) But since I’m your beloved sister, A Maheshwari and your best chance to win, I will be on your side..
Sanskaar (wiping his forehead in relief) : Phew! What a relief! Now I won’t lose. My Uttara is going to be on my side.
She smiled in self appreciation and he winked at the men, laughing. Uttara clapped her hands and made them listen to her.
Uttara : So it is decided…. I am on Sanskaar’s side. Ragini is on Swara’s side. Now all you others, Get up!
The rest looked at her uncomprehendingly. She rolled her eyes in frustration.
Uttara : GET UP! Or else, I will kill you!
Laksh (getting up along with the others) : Uttara! You are a blo*dythirsty wench! What the hell is the matter with you? A friendly spat has been turned into a world war.
Uttara came close to Laksh and pointed a finger right in front of his nose. Taken aback, He took a step behind.
Uttara : My brother, My rules. Do you have a problem, Mr Laksh Maheshwari?
Laksh (smiling at his sister’s actions) : No Meri Gudiya! Fine.. Your rules. Tell now, Why are we standing?
While Swara, Sanskaar and Ragini sat down looking at the others and Uttara with amusement, Uttara walked in front of them scrutinising each person as they stood silently. Finally, Sakshi made an attempt to ask her a question.
Sakshi : Uttara!
Uttara : Ji bhabhi?
Sakshi : Umm… Why are we standing?
Uttara : I am just deciding the teams. Now you all tell me whose team you want to be in..
Adarsh (without hesitation) : I’m in your team, My gudiya!
Laksh : And I’m in Swara’s team.. I told you before!
Karan (in simple words, smiling at Ragini) : I’m with Ragini!
Aarav : I’m with Bhai! Sorry bhabhi!
Swara smiled it off while Uttara stared at Sakshi…
Uttara : So bhabhi! You are the only one left… Adarsh, Aarav and I are in Sanskaar’s team. Ragini, Laksh and Karan in Swara’s. Which team are you going to be in?
Sakshi (looking at both the teams, then looked at Uttara) : Swara. (looking at Adarsh who nodded understandingly) I choose my sister. She has given me more than I ever hoped.
Uttara smiled and hugged Sakshi!
Uttara : I understand bhabhi! Well then, It is decided… These are the teams. We will be in competitive mode throughout the ceremonies. The girl’s side will do everything to steal Sanskaar’s slippers but we won’t let them. Even during the Sangeet… It will be a competition between the sides. DO YOU UNDERSTAND?
All of them (standing up and saluting) : YES, UTTARA MADAM!
Uttara (laughing) : Well, That’s awesome! But bhabhi… I do love you.
Swara (hugging her) : I know, My gudiya! Can I also call you gudiya?
Uttara nodded while Ragini poked Swara.
Ragini : Swara! I thought you hated nick names? You refused to call me laado even though I loved that name… And Whenever we used to call you Shona, You always fumed… Now what happened?
Swara looked at Sanskaar, a slight smile on her lips. He smiled back…
Swara (softly) : Well laado! I think I’ve changed!
Sanskaar (softly such that only Swara could hear) : Shona…. I love it…
Swara stilled, loving the name of her name on his lips. The was the sh sounded, making it seem so musical, making it seem much more mystical and elegant! Her eyes met his and the air just seemed to electrify. Sparks were flying about though the two weren’t even touching. They were just lost within each other.
Well, Until Laksh interrupted them….
Laksh : Bhai? Bhaiii? (shaking his hands in front of Sanskaar) BHAI!
Sanskaar (surprised) : Laksh! What’s your problem? Why are you shouting?
Laksh (teasing) : Sanskaar! When you’re so lost in your fiancee’s eyes and the outside world has become meaningless, Then I have to shout na? To get your attention..
Everyone burst out laughing while Swara and Sanskaar blushed.
Swara : Laksh! The day you come home and tell you’ve fallen in love with someone, Just wait! I’m going to take complete revenge.
Laksh (smile fading for a second but immediately covered by his usual cheeky expression) : Swara! Shoooona! Let that day come.. Then we will see.
He turned away from them and walked over to the window. Swara joined him.
Swara : Dramebaaz! Are you hiding something from me?
Laksh (surprised) : No! Why?
Swara (seriously, in a warm tone) : Laksh! You can tell me anything. You know that right?
Laksh (smiling, tapping Swara’s nose) : I know Swara! After Antara got married, You are the one who’s been my best friend. I know I can confide in you but when there’s something to tell. There’s nothing now.
Swara looked at him assessingly before nodding and joining the others.
Laksh (looking at all of them) : I do have something to tell Swara! I do… But how am I going to tell you? How do I tell my best friend that I love her sister? I LOVE RAGINI! But Ragini loves another. How do I tell you that? No.. not now Laksh! Put these thoughts away… It’s your best friend and your bhai’s wedding.. There’s no place for your melodrama here. Stop thinking about her.
He managed to put Ragini out of his mind and joined the others.
Swara : Uttara! The teams have been decided…. But during the sangeet, Both teams will dance simultaneously. And Sanskaar and I are not part of this competetion.
Uttara : Ok bhabhi! Whatever you say… And yes, All the moms will also dance.
Adarsh : Ma? Dancing? No ways… Chachi will.. But Ma? Are you mad Uttara!
Uttara : Bhai! There’s something called emotional blackmail in this world. Don’t worry… Tomorrow Badi Ma will dance.
Sanskaar : Well… Badi Ma dancing or not.. We better go home and sleep… Tomorrow’s going to be a long day! (kissing Swara’s cheek) Good night Swara!
Swara : Good night!
Karan kissed Ragini’s forehead while Laksh’s insides clenched and then he murmured his farewell and left. Adarsh told the others he would drop Sakshi at home and come.
Swara : Sakshi! Only because your clothes are there, Am i letting you leave now. Otherwise, you have to stay here only.
Sakshi : Yes Swara!
She hugged Swara and Ragini and everyone left, after calling AP and Sujata as well!
Ragini (alone in the room with Swara) : Swara! I am so happy. You are getting married, I have another sister. I have found my soulmate. Everything is just perfect. Is it not?
Swara (hugging Ragini ) : It is! I never thought that there could be this much happiness in this world. But…
Ragini : But?
Swara (thinking) : It would be a much happier world if Sanskaar loved me. It would be a much happier world.
Swara (out loud) : I think there’s something bothering Laksh!
Ragini (surprised) : Laksh? I don’t think so! Chill Swara! He’ll be fine… Now come on! Go and sleep… Tomorrow’s another busy day.
They both went to bed…
——————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————
THE NEXT DAY, 5:30 PM , MAHESHWARI MANSION
Swara was getting dressed in the guest bedroom in Maheshwari Mansion when she received a text. She opened it, sure it was from Sanskaar!
And she was right… The text read :
REMEMBER YOUR PROMISE! YOU HAVE TO SING FOR ME TODAY..
She smiled and replied back :
WHAT DO YOU WANT ME TO SING? SLOW SONG? FAST SONG?
His reply pinged back :
ANYTHING FROM YOUR HEART.
She stopped. From her heart? But her heart spoke only one thing… But she had promised him… What was she going to do?
Swara (thinking) : You know what? Enough is enough….. Today Sanskaar wants a song? Then a song he shall get…
Sakshi (interrupting Swara’s thoughts) : Swara! You are looking gorgeous. So pretty!
And Swara was. Dressed in Gold this time, A sort of slight red tinge to her gold, Her skirt was shimmery and lunged out whereas her full sleeve blouse had sequins on it making Swara look very grand and at the same time, very simple and elegant. Her hair had been done to reveal a side do with slight curls here and there… A pair of golden bobs for her ears and a simple necklace completed her look.
Swara (laughing) : Accha? And what about you? And Ragini?
She gestured towards Ragini who looked stunning in a red and yellow lehenga and Sakshi who wore a multi coloured chiffon saree, her hair left loose with no jewelry other than earrings. Ragini on the other hand had opted for a french braid , earrings and bangles but no necklace.
Sakshi : Of course we look beautiful as well, But there’s something ethereal about you.. Just as it should be. Now come, Sanskaar is also about to come out.
Swara nodded and started walking out. Just as she reached the top of the staircase, Sanskaar joined her. He was wearing a navy blue and gold sherwani and absolutely matched Swara’s dress. They stood there a minute admiring each other.
Uttara ( from belowstairs) : Bhai! Bhabhi! Any plans to come down? Your sangeet is taking place here….
They returned back to their senses and started coming down while all the guests laughed good naturedly.
Sujata : Uttara ki bacchi! Don’t you know when to keep quiet? Now, Everyone will tease my bahu and beta!
Uttara : Ma! This is not so that they will tease them. Let everyone see just how much my Sanskaar loves his wife.
Sujata smiled and turned towards Swara and Sanskaar.
Sanskaar : Gold? And you?
Swara (frowning and looking down at her dress) : Haan! Why, It’s not nice?
Sanskaar : No no! (softly) You look stunning! Very beautiful.. (Swara smiled) But… I thought you were a silver girl. In our engagement, in the party the other day, You have always preferred silver.
Swara (nodding) : I do. But when I saw this, It was too gorgeous to leave behind. So.. (Sanskaar nodded ) Vaise, You too look handsome Mr Maheshwari!
Sanskaar : I know!
Swara (rolling her eyes) : Learn to accept a compliment.
Sanskaar : I do know. But it serves me better when I act like this with you.
They reached the others and Sumi complimented Sanskaar on his outfit and he thanked her gracefully and charmingly.
Sanskaar (whispering in Swara’s ear) : See? I can accept a compliment! Just differently with you.
Swara rolled her eyes again and made a move to speak but was interrupted by Uttara who was speaking in the mike.
uttara : ladies and gentlemen! welcome to my beloved bhai sanskaar and my lovely bhabhi swara’s sangeet! as the name suggests, today there will be lots of music, dance and enjoyment! so without any further delay, let’s start the celebrations… and the first person to start this, will be me..
She stepped off the podium and came to the rest!
Uttara : Swara! Sanskaar! You are the judges of today… So make sure you notice everyone’s performance.. Ok?
Swara : Ok Uttara!
Sakshi : Uttara! You’re going down! down! down!
Uttara : Haha! Let’s see bhabhi… 😛
She went to the stage and began her performance :
Nazar jo teri laagi main deewani ho gayi
Deewani haan deewani, deewani ho gayi
Mash’hoor mere ishq ki kahaani ho gayi
Jo jag ne na maani toh maine bhi thaani
Kahaan thi main dekho kahaan chali aayi..
Kehte hain ye deewani mastani ho gayi
Mash’hoor mere ishq ki ye kahani ho gayi
Jo jag ne na maani toh maine bhi thaani
Kahaan thi main dekho kahaan chali aayi..
Kehte hain ye deewani mastani ho gayi
Deewani haan deewani, deewani ho gayi
Zakham aisa tune lagaya
Deewani, deewani, deewani, deewani ho gayi
Marham aisa tune lagaya
Ruhaani, ruhaani, ruhaani, ruhaani ho gayi
Pehchaan mere ishq ki ab toh
Pehchaan mere ishq ki ab toh
Rawaani, rawaani, rawaani, rawaani ho gayi
Ho.. mash’hoor mere ishq ki kahani ho gayi
Kehte hai yeh deewani, mastani ho gayi
Haan deewani, haan deewani, deewani ho gayi
Mash’hoor mere ishq ki kahani ho gayi
Jo jag ne na maani toh maine bhi thaani
Kahaan thi main dekho kahaan chali aayi
Kehte hain ye deewani, Mastani ho gayi
Deewani haan deewani, deewani ho gayi
She ended her dance and curtsied in front of everyone and they all clapped. Uttara came back and Laksh stared at her shocked.
Laksh : Gudiya! I never knew that my sister who didn’t know how to ride a cycle and was always falling down could dance so gracefully. ( walking around her) Who are you? And what have you done with my sister?
Uttara : Bhai! Nothing has happened to me. I’m still the same. Just grown up…
Sanskaar ( softly) : Too soon… You grew up too soon, My gudiya!
She turned to Sanskaar, her eyes glistening.
Uttara : Accha? I grew up too soon…. And what about you? You’re the one getting married bhai!
Sanskaar : Aww! Why are you crying, Uttara! (hugging her and whispering, though Swara could listen as well) Just listen! When you need me, Whatever you want, just call me.. I’ll leave this monster immediately and come to you. Ok?
Uttara giggled and nodded. Sanskaar saw Swara who was smiling at him.
Sujata : Arre! Are you going to keep talking or are you going to dance? NEXT PERFORMANCE!
Laksh : Well… Next performance is going to be mine… And Aarav’s as well…. We are in different teams.. Remember!
He went and Aarav joined him on the stage.
Laksh : Swara! You’ll have to assist us on this one…
Swara (surprised) : Me?
Aarav : Yes Swara! Come on.
Swara stood up, smiled, nodded to Sanskaar and left.
LAKSH : Jhumka gira de
Jo milale agar woh nazar se nazar mein taale
He pulled Swara towards him and danced.
AARAV : Nachke dikade,
Sabki dhadkan mein kadam se kadam milale
Aarav pulled Swara from Laksh and danced with her. Laksh joined them and all 3 danced, while Sanskaar watched them amused.
LAKSH : Lehron si chaal pe chaal bichade
Dil ko yun behaal bana de
BOTH : Par deewane mane
Na dekhi koi aisi girl
(Na dekhi koi aisi girl)
Dekhi lakh lakh pardesi girl
Ain’t nobody like my desi girl
Dekhi lakh lakh pardesi girl
Sab toh soni saadi desi girl
LAKSH : Who’s the hottest girl in the world?
My desi girl
My desi girl
AARAV : Thumka lagaike she’ll rock your world
My desi girl
My desi girl
Sanskaar (thinking) : Haww! Look how my Swara is dancing with those two. But why am I jealous? I know that there is nothing wrong with this dance, But still…..
He watched feeling less amused now.
My desi girl
My desi girl
AARAV : Pade kamar pe jo nazar
Saare sapno mein rang bhar jaaye
LAKSH : Jo tham le woh haath toh
Hus ke hi aashiq mar jaayein
SWARA : Dhoondon jahan mein chahe kahin
Na tumko milegi koi aisi girl
BOTH MEN : Dekhi lakh lakh pardesi girl
Ain’t nobody like my desi girl
Dekhi lakh lakh pardesi girl
Sab toh soni saadi desi girl
Sanskaar, finally couldn’t bear it and got up, much to everyone’s surprise. He walked over to Swara who was dancing and held her hand. She looked at him in surprise. He twirled her around and started dancing.
SANSKAAR : Who’s the hottest girl in the world?
My desi girl
My desi girl
Thumka lagaike she’ll rock your world
My desi girl
My desi girl
Everyone started laughing and Swara smiled, happy to be in Sanskaar’s arms.
ALL 3 MEN : My desi girl
My desi girl
Girl girl girl…..
They returned back and sat down.
Ragini : Kya Jiju? You couldn’t let Swara dance with even your brothers? So possessive…
Sanskaar looked down embarassed while everyone but Swara laughed. She just stared at him.
Sanskaar (feeling uncomfortable) : What?
Swara : Nothing really. Just that why did you come up there?
Sanskaar (moving closer to Swara in the loveseat that they shared) : Mrs to be Maheshwari…. Your husband is a complex man! Anything might go into his head… I have no idea why I came and danced… (softly) Just that you were there, so beautiful and I knew that I had to be there.. With you!
Swara blushed and looked down. Sanskaar lifted her face and shook his head.
Sanskaar : You’re too gorgeous to look down. (cupping her face) And you’re mine!
Swara just blushed harder at that and Sakshi noticed.
Sakshi : Sanskaar! What are you telling that made my sister blush?
Adarsh (joining them) : Minx! Just look at them… At least they are romancing! Tum na…. Bilkhul bekaar ho! (giving her a disgusted look)
Sakshi (mouth open) : Accha ji? Ab ruk, Arshu….
Uttara (joining them) : Adarsh bhai! Sakshi… It’s your turn! Go now…
Sakshi : Shall we, Adarsh Maheshwari?
Adarsh : Chalo Sakshi!
They went and began dancing!
SAKSHI : Didi tera devar deewana
Ho didi tera devar deewana
Haye Ram, kudiyon ko daale daana (Haye Ram, kudiyon ko daale daana)
Dhandha hai yeh uska puraana
Arrey dhandha hai yeh uska puraana

Bandaa hai yeh khudse begaana (Heyy heyy..)
Haye Ram, kudiyon ka hai zamaana (Heyy heyy..)
(Haye Ram) Kudiyon ka hai zamaana (Repeat 3 times)
They ended the dance and began laughing!
Swara (after they returned to their seat) : Sakshi! Why are you troubling my poor devar? Itna pyar karta hai voh tumse?
Adarsh (making a sad face) : I know right Swara bhabhi! Just look how much she’s troubling me.
Sanskaar : Eyy! Don’t tell anything like that about my saali!
Swara : Sanskaar! My devar…
Sanskaar : Swara! My saali..
Sakshi (laughing) : Offo! Both of you don’t argue over this… Look, Arshu and I are like this, See… (she intertwined her hand with his and smiled at him)
They left leaving Swara and Sanskaar glaring at each other!
Sanskaar : Why don’t you ever support me?
Swara (indignantly) : I don’t support you? Haww… Why don’t YOU ever support me?
Sanskaar : Kyunki tum toh ho hi aisi!
Swara : Sanskaar, You’re arguing with me during our Sangeet?
Sanskaar : Swara, YOU’RE arguing with me during our sangeet!
Swara : Ugghhh! Talking to you is a waste of time.
Sanskaar : Haan? Toh! Who’s asking you to stay here? Bye! Go away…
Swara made a face at him and got up and left, and sat with Ragini and Karan.
Uttara : THE NEXT PERFORMANCE WILL BE BY MY PYAARI SI BADI MA, MA AND SHARMISHTA AUNTY!
AP : Me? No please!
Laksh : Ma! You have to go… Everyone’s dancing today!
Adarsh : Haan Ma! Everyone…
Sujata : Jiji! Please come… It will be fun…
AP : But..
Swara : Badi Ma? For me…
She threw a pleading look at AP who smiled and got up and the three matrons went to the stage.

They danced vigorously and gracefully while the youngsters stared shocked. After they finished, Swara ran over to them and hugged the three together, enveloping them in one giant hug.
Swara : Badi Ma! Ma! Mom! You danced soooo well! You made my day today.
Laksh : Sacchi! Be careful from now on…
Sumi (Surprised) : Careful? Why?
Laksh : Aunty! Now men are going to be after you like pigs. Be very careful. What if someone proposes you?
Everyone laughed while Sujata pulled Laksh’s ear!
Laksh : Ow.. Ow.. Chachi!
Sujata (chuckling) : Laksh! You’ve become very naughty. I have to do this.. Then only will you be a good boy!
Ragini : Aunty! Rukiye mat! Pull more!
She winked at Laksh. Laksh just stared at his love laughing and was mesmerized. He forgot everything.
Swara (suddenly in front of him) : Dramebaaz! What happened?
Laksh blinked. He realised that Chachi had left his ear and was now discussing Ragini and Karan’s performance.
Karan?
Shit!
He focused on Swara who was looking at him with a puzzled frown!
Laksh (putting an arm around her) : Nothing baba! Why?
Swara : Laksh! You’re hiding something from me na? What is it?
Laksh : Swara! I already told you.. It’s nothing!
Swara : Laksh! I’m your best friend… Won’t you tell even me?
He looked at her, saw the honesty, concern and worry in her eyes and sighed.
Laksh : I will Swara! But not now. After your wedding…
Swara : But..
Laksh (cutting her off) : Swara! My final offer… I’m not going to tell you before that.
Swara (frustrated) : Fine. But I am worried Laksh!
Laksh : Don’t worry Swara! It’s nothing.
Sanskaar : Swara!
Swara nodded her excuse and went to Sanskaar who was trying to mollify her. Laksh smiled at them both and sighed, his heart crying as he saw Ragini and Karan gearing up for their act.
Uttara : Laksh!
Laksh ( ignoring the emotional turmoil) : Yes?
Uttara : What are you doing there? Come over here!
Laksh (nodding) : Yes baba! I’m coming…
Ragini : NOW IT’S TIME FOR MY DANCE. Di! This is for you…
Swara blew her a flying kiss and they began dancing…
Banno ki saheli..

Aa..roop ghoonghat mein ho
Toh suhana lage
Baat nahin banti yaar bataane se
Yeh dil ki baatein dil hi jaane ya jaane khuda
Yeh ladki hai Allah, hai hai re Allah
Yeh ladka hai Allah, hai hai re Allah
Mangne se kabhi
Haath milta nahin
Jodiyaan banti hai..
Pehle se sabki
(Jodiyaan banti hai..
Pehle se sabki)
Ho..leke baaraat ghar
Tere aaonga main
Meri nahin yeh toh
Marzi hai rab ki
Arey ja re ja yun
Jhooti muthi baatein na bana
Yeh ladki hai Allah, hai hai re Allah
Yeh ladki hai Allah, hai hai re Allah
Banno ki saheli..
Resham ki dori
Chhup chhup ke sharmaaye
Dekhe chori chori
Babul ki galiyaan..
Na chad ke jaana
Paagal deewana..
Isko samjhana
Yeh maane ya na maane main toh ispe mar gaya
Yeh ladki..
Yeh ladki hai Allah, hai hai re Allah
Yeh ladka hai Allah, hai hai re Allah
Ye.. yeh ladki hai Allah, hai hai re Allah
They returned and everyone praised their performance.
Swara ( To Sanskaar) : They make such a wonderful couple na?
Sanskaar (smiling warmly at her) : They do. Ragini and Karan suit each other very well…
Swara smiled and rested her head on Sanskaar’s shoulder watching the couple. Laksh heard them and couldn’t bear it anymore. He had to get some air. He started to move when…
Ragini : Laksh!
Laksh (fake cheerful voice) : Yes Ragini?
Ragini : Where are you going? Come, We have to make Swara and Sanskaar dance now. They are protesting.
Laksh (surprised) : Protesting? Why?
Ragini (rolling her eyes) : Come and see yourself.
Laksh came back and saw that Swara was indeed protesting to dance with Sanskaar!
Swara : We always dance. It’s too boring nowadays. You people dance now.
Laksh : Swara! Ek number ki pagal ho tum.. Go and dance chup chaap!
Swara : But… .
Sanskaar : Swara! These people aren’t going to leave us. We will dance. OK FINE! SWARA AND I WILL DANCE… Happpy?
Everyone cheered.
Sanskaar : But today we are not going to dance alone. And nor will it be a slow song..
Swara (surprised) : It’s not?
Sanskaar ( calling out to the watchman) : RAMSINGH! Let them in..
All the guests strained their necks to see who was entering. A group of Punjabi people with huge drums entered and came on to the stage. Swara stared delighted and astounded.
Sanskaar went up to the stage and said.
Sanskaar : Swara! This one’s for you….
And he danced, not slow… This was a fast paced song, full of energy
and vibrancy!
Rang puredi rang rangili

Swara walked over to him and he pulled her close, touching her face.
Hai hai hai
Jab bhi woh ladki, kidki pe aaye

The two came down and began pulling everyone to dance. The Punjabis who came began drumming with gusto!
Aare bachpan se uska

Dil se jisko maan raha tha
Apne dil ki rani woh
Aur kisi pe hi yaaro marti thi marjani woh

hoooyyyyeee
Swara (after the energetic performance) : Punjabi drummers… I’m impressed Mr Maheshwari!
Sanskaar (gloating) : Thanks! I pride myself on it.
Swara (rolling her eyes) : Do you ever leave a chance to praise yourself?
Sanskaar (surprising Swara by lifting her up) : Of course not! I’m too awesome for that!
Swara : Sanskaar! What are you doing? Put me down!
Sanskaar (walking over to the stage, whispering) : You have a promise to keep up, Remember?
Swara (softly) : I hadn’t forgotten.
Sanskaar put her down on the stage and took the mike!
Sanskaar : WE ALL DANCED AND ENJOYED! BUT WE DO HAVE ONE LAST PERFORMANCE. MY SWARA WILL SING A SONG FOR US. WITH HER NIGHTINGALE LIKE VOICE. PLEASE, EVERYONE, A ROUND OF APPLAUSE.
He began to go down while everyone clapped for Swara. Swara’s voice checked him.
Swara (softly) : Sanskaar! Stay up?
He saw her face and nodded. Sanskaar came and stood next to Swara!
Swara : This song is just for you. You asked me to sing from my heart and I will.
She began singing… Walking around Sanskaar, standing in front of him… But her eyes never left his!
Rehnuma…
Tu jo mila, sab mil gaya
Dil ki namaazein jaake
Pahunchi falak se aage
Toh jaake paaya tujhko
Mere rehnuma…
Mujhko mera Rabb mil gaya
Baahon se aage tere
Duniya nahi hai meri
Rakhle yahin tu mujhko
Mere rehnuma…
Jo naa bhaaye, teri nazar ko
Dekhungi naa main phir woh nazara
Tu jo mile toh, chhod doon khud ko
Tujhme kahin hai mera kinaara
Bas tu hi tu mujhe yaad hai
Dil ki namaazein jaake
Pahunchi falak se aage
Toh jaake paaya tujhko
Mere rehnuma…
Guzri hoon jab se, main tere dar se
Hasne lagi hoon main, khul ke rehbar
Dard se tere rista juda toh
Ab muskuraate hai mere manjar
Haan.. Rabb ki mujhe saugaat hai
Dil ki namaazein jaake
Pahunchi falak se aage
Toh jaake paaya tujhko
Mere rehnuma…
Baahon se aage tere
Duniya nahi hai meri
Rakhle yahin tu mujhko
Mere rehnuma…
She had poured her heart and soul in the song and everyone could see it. They all were shell shocked at the raw display of emotion in Swara’s song. Swara continued to stare at Sanskaar, whose eyes showed the shock he felt.
Sanskaar (thinking) : This song? The emotions…. What does it mean? Why this song? Why?
Swara smiled at him.
Swara (thinking) : Indirectly, I have told you my feelings. I have ripped open my heart. Please… Please don’t break it!
She went down and joined the others as they praised her singing.
Sanskaar sat on the steps of the stage, his eyes following Swara! He was still shocked and didn’t know what to do…
Sanskaar : Swara told she didn’t love me. But this…. The emotions…. I… What does this mean?
Suddenly he heard Swara talking to Ragini.
Swara : Ragini! stop praising Sanskaar so much! He’s a khadoos… But khadoos though he is, He is my Khadoos! Pata nahi meri zindagi mein kya hoga?
Sanskaar stopped listening to them.
My Khadoos!
My Khadoos?
Where had he heard that before?
Suddenly he remembered one night, in Sanskaar’s room… They were eating chocolate. They were drunk?
Sanskaar (Thinking) : Swara has told this before… My khadoos… When was this? What was it?
His eyes grew round with shock as he remembered that day, after the holi carnival!
***************************************
Swara (whispering excitedly) : SShhhh…. No one else can know…. Listen… My fiance na? Khadoos Maheshwari? He is not khadoos anymore… He is a very nice man… And do you know the biggest thing of all? Come closer.. I’ll tell you..
Sanskaar leaned in closer.
Swara (whispering) : I LOVE MY KHADOOS MAHESHWARI! I HAVE FALLEN DESPERATELY IN LOVE WITH HIM…..
********************************************
Sanskaar got up stunned….
Sanskaar (looking at a smiling Swara talking to Karan) : She loves me? Swara loves me?

CHAPTER 40
LATER THAT NIGHT
After all the guests had left, The elderly ladies sat downstairs to discuss tomorrow’s preparations while all the youngsters gathered in Ragini’s room to chat.
Laksh (entering her room) : Baap Re! What the hell is this?
Ragini (surprised) : Why? What’s so wrong with this room?
Laksh : Ragini! It’s purple… Who the hell likes purple? Your taste is ghatiya!
Karan (raising an eyebrow) : Bhai! She chose me… What are you telling?
Everyone burst out laughing while Laksh tapped Karan’s shoulder reassuringly.
Laksh : Bhai! Don’t worry. I’m not talking about her taste in guys. I’m talking about her taste in colours.
Swara : Dramebaaz! Stop teasing my sister!
Laksh ( winking) : NO!
Ragini : Laksh! We’re supposed to be on the same team and here you are teasing me. You go to the other team, It’s ok. I have Karan!
Laksh : Arre! Sorry, Meri Ma! I want to be on Swara’s side… Please..
He made puppy dog eyes at her and she relented, throwing a pillow at him, which he caught and gave a flying kiss to her. Ragini rollled her eyes and laughed.
They all sat down, The girls on the bed and the guys sat on chairs.
Uttara : Vaise Adarsh bhai! Speaking of tastes, Your taste is also nice. Sakshi Bhabhi is so sweet. Perfect for you.
Adarsh : Obviously. She’s my choice na?
Sakshi blushed while Karan, Aarav, Laksh and Sanskaar snickered.
Laksh : Bhai! Don’t be so boastful. Do you know how things might have turned out if Swara and Sanskaar had not been there? If Ma had not clarified everything. So you should not be the one who is boastful. The credit goes to Ma and then Swara and Sanskaar.
Adarsh (seriously but softly ) : I know Laksh! I know.
He gazed at Sakshi, took her hands and kissed them. Ragini-Karan and Swara- Sanskaar looked at each other and smiled.
Aarav (groaning) : Arre yaar! Stop this romance. It’s too much!
Sanskaar : Accha ji! And if Antara was here, then? Don’t you remember the number of times I had to suffer while you and Antara were all gooey eyed over each other?
Aarav looked anywhere but at them while they teased him. Finally, Uttara motioned them all to stop.
Uttara : Am I the only person who can focus on the topic. Everyone… This is war! We CANNOT give up…
The others looked at Uttara like she was an alien.
Swara : Uttara meri Ma? This is a wedding. What the hell are you blabbering? (touching her forehead) Do you have fever?
Uttara shrugs off Swara’s hand and places her hand on her hips.
Uttara : What is wrong with you people? Swara bhabhi, You know I love you but this is war. The girls’ and the boys’ side are against each other. We need to decide teams. Again once more. No excuses from anyone. Choose one person.
Swara (muttering to Sanskaar) : I thought our Uttara was a docile and sweet girl, But she turned out to be a lioness.
Sanskaar (chuckling) : I know. She’s always been like that. So competitive. I pity the guy who’s going to end up with her.
Swara : Sanskaar! That’s mean… Uttara isn’t that bad.
Sanskaar : Arre! Toh, When did I tell she’s bad… But her to be husband… Oh shit! Only God can save him.
Uttara (looking at them suspiciously) : What are you both talking about?
Swara (winking at Sanskaar) : Uttara! Your brother is very bad. He was telling that your future husband will suffer.
She chuckled looking at Uttara’s indignant expression and then looked at Sanskaar who stared back, payback promised in his eyes.
Uttara : Bhai! I should go over to Swara’s side just because of this. ( throwing him a haughty look) But since I’m your beloved sister, A Maheshwari and your best chance to win, I will be on your side..
Sanskaar (wiping his forehead in relief) : Phew! What a relief! Now I won’t lose. My Uttara is going to be on my side.
She smiled in self appreciation and he winked at the men, laughing. Uttara clapped her hands and made them listen to her.
Uttara : So it is decided…. I am on Sanskaar’s side. Ragini is on Swara’s side. Now all you others, Get up!
The rest looked at her uncomprehendingly. She rolled her eyes in frustration.
Uttara : GET UP! Or else, I will kill you!
Laksh (getting up along with the others) : Uttara! You are a blo*dythirsty wench! What the hell is the matter with you? A friendly spat has been turned into a world war.
Uttara came close to Laksh and pointed a finger right in front of his nose. Taken aback, He took a step behind.
Uttara : My brother, My rules. Do you have a problem, Mr Laksh Maheshwari?
Laksh (smiling at his sister’s actions) : No Meri Gudiya! Fine.. Your rules. Tell now, Why are we standing?
While Swara, Sanskaar and Ragini sat down looking at the others and Uttara with amusement, Uttara walked in front of them scrutinising each person as they stood silently. Finally, Sakshi made an attempt to ask her a question.
Sakshi : Uttara!
Uttara : Ji bhabhi?
Sakshi : Umm… Why are we standing?
Uttara : I am just deciding the teams. Now you all tell me whose team you want to be in..
Adarsh (without hesitation) : I’m in your team, My gudiya!
Laksh : And I’m in Swara’s team.. I told you before!
Karan (in simple words, smiling at Ragini) : I’m with Ragini!
Aarav : I’m with Bhai! Sorry bhabhi!
Swara smiled it off while Uttara stared at Sakshi…
Uttara : So bhabhi! You are the only one left… Adarsh, Aarav and I are in Sanskaar’s team. Ragini, Laksh and Karan in Swara’s. Which team are you going to be in?
Sakshi (looking at both the teams, then looked at Uttara) : Swara. (looking at Adarsh who nodded understandingly) I choose my sister. She has given me more than I ever hoped.
Uttara smiled and hugged Sakshi!
Uttara : I understand bhabhi! Well then, It is decided… These are the teams. We will be in competitive mode throughout the ceremonies. The girl’s side will do everything to steal Sanskaar’s slippers but we won’t let them. Even during the Sangeet… It will be a competition between the sides. DO YOU UNDERSTAND?
All of them (standing up and saluting) : YES, UTTARA MADAM!
Uttara (laughing) : Well, That’s awesome! But bhabhi… I do love you.
Swara (hugging her) : I know, My gudiya! Can I also call you gudiya?
Uttara nodded while Ragini poked Swara.
Ragini : Swara! I thought you hated nick names? You refused to call me laado even though I loved that name… And Whenever we used to call you Shona, You always fumed… Now what happened?
Swara looked at Sanskaar, a slight smile on her lips. He smiled back…
Swara (softly) : Well laado! I think I’ve changed!
Sanskaar (softly such that only Swara could hear) : Shona…. I love it…
Swara stilled, loving the name of her name on his lips. The was the sh sounded, making it seem so musical, making it seem much more mystical and elegant! Her eyes met his and the air just seemed to electrify. Sparks were flying about though the two weren’t even touching. They were just lost within each other.
Well, Until Laksh interrupted them….
Laksh : Bhai? Bhaiii? (shaking his hands in front of Sanskaar) BHAI!
Sanskaar (surprised) : Laksh! What’s your problem? Why are you shouting?
Laksh (teasing) : Sanskaar! When you’re so lost in your fiancee’s eyes and the outside world has become meaningless, Then I have to shout na? To get your attention..
Everyone burst out laughing while Swara and Sanskaar blushed.
Swara : Laksh! The day you come home and tell you’ve fallen in love with someone, Just wait! I’m going to take complete revenge.
Laksh (smile fading for a second but immediately covered by his usual cheeky expression) : Swara! Shoooona! Let that day come.. Then we will see.
He turned away from them and walked over to the window. Swara joined him.
Swara : Dramebaaz! Are you hiding something from me?
Laksh (surprised) : No! Why?
Swara (seriously, in a warm tone) : Laksh! You can tell me anything. You know that right?
Laksh (smiling, tapping Swara’s nose) : I know Swara! After Antara got married, You are the one who’s been my best friend. I know I can confide in you but when there’s something to tell. There’s nothing now.
Swara looked at him assessingly before nodding and joining the others.
Laksh (looking at all of them) : I do have something to tell Swara! I do… But how am I going to tell you? How do I tell my best friend that I love her sister? I LOVE RAGINI! But Ragini loves another. How do I tell you that? No.. not now Laksh! Put these thoughts away… It’s your best friend and your bhai’s wedding.. There’s no place for your melodrama here. Stop thinking about her.
He managed to put Ragini out of his mind and joined the others.
Swara : Uttara! The teams have been decided…. But during the sangeet, Both teams will dance simultaneously. And Sanskaar and I are not part of this competetion.
Uttara : Ok bhabhi! Whatever you say… And yes, All the moms will also dance.
Adarsh : Ma? Dancing? No ways… Chachi will.. But Ma? Are you mad Uttara!
Uttara : Bhai! There’s something called emotional blackmail in this world. Don’t worry… Tomorrow Badi Ma will dance.
Sanskaar : Well… Badi Ma dancing or not.. We better go home and sleep… Tomorrow’s going to be a long day! (kissing Swara’s cheek) Good night Swara!
Swara : Good night!
Karan kissed Ragini’s forehead while Laksh’s insides clenched and then he murmured his farewell and left. Adarsh told the others he would drop Sakshi at home and come.
Swara : Sakshi! Only because your clothes are there, Am i letting you leave now. Otherwise, you have to stay here only.
Sakshi : Yes Swara!
She hugged Swara and Ragini and everyone left, after calling AP and Sujata as well!
Ragini (alone in the room with Swara) : Swara! I am so happy. You are getting married, I have another sister. I have found my soulmate. Everything is just perfect. Is it not?
Swara (hugging Ragini ) : It is! I never thought that there could be this much happiness in this world. But…
Ragini : But?
Swara (thinking) : It would be a much happier world if Sanskaar loved me. It would be a much happier world.
Swara (out loud) : I think there’s something bothering Laksh!
Ragini (surprised) : Laksh? I don’t think so! Chill Swara! He’ll be fine… Now come on! Go and sleep… Tomorrow’s another busy day.
They both went to bed…
——————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————
THE NEXT DAY, 5:30 PM , MAHESHWARI MANSION
Swara was getting dressed in the guest bedroom in Maheshwari Mansion when she received a text. She opened it, sure it was from Sanskaar!
And she was right… The text read :
REMEMBER YOUR PROMISE! YOU HAVE TO SING FOR ME TODAY..
She smiled and replied back :
WHAT DO YOU WANT ME TO SING? SLOW SONG? FAST SONG?
His reply pinged back :
ANYTHING FROM YOUR HEART.
She stopped. From her heart? But her heart spoke only one thing… But she had promised him… What was she going to do?
Swara (thinking) : You know what? Enough is enough….. Today Sanskaar wants a song? Then a song he shall get…
Sakshi (interrupting Swara’s thoughts) : Swara! You are looking gorgeous. So pretty!
And Swara was. Dressed in Gold this time, A sort of slight red tinge to her gold, Her skirt was shimmery and lunged out whereas her full sleeve blouse had sequins on it making Swara look very grand and at the same time, very simple and elegant. Her hair had been done to reveal a side do with slight curls here and there… A pair of golden bobs for her ears and a simple necklace completed her look.
Swara (laughing) : Accha? And what about you? And Ragini?
She gestured towards Ragini who looked stunning in a red and yellow lehenga and Sakshi who wore a multi coloured chiffon saree, her hair left loose with no jewelry other than earrings. Ragini on the other hand had opted for a french braid , earrings and bangles but no necklace.
Sakshi : Of course we look beautiful as well, But there’s something ethereal about you.. Just as it should be. Now come, Sanskaar is also about to come out.
Swara nodded and started walking out. Just as she reached the top of the staircase, Sanskaar joined her. He was wearing a navy blue and gold sherwani and absolutely matched Swara’s dress. They stood there a minute admiring each other.
Uttara ( from belowstairs) : Bhai! Bhabhi! Any plans to come down? Your sangeet is taking place here….
They returned back to their senses and started coming down while all the guests laughed good naturedly.
Sujata : Uttara ki bacchi! Don’t you know when to keep quiet? Now, Everyone will tease my bahu and beta!
Uttara : Ma! This is not so that they will tease them. Let everyone see just how much my Sanskaar loves his wife.
Sujata smiled and turned towards Swara and Sanskaar.
Sanskaar : Gold? And you?
Swara (frowning and looking down at her dress) : Haan! Why, It’s not nice?
Sanskaar : No no! (softly) You look stunning! Very beautiful.. (Swara smiled) But… I thought you were a silver girl. In our engagement, in the party the other day, You have always preferred silver.
Swara (nodding) : I do. But when I saw this, It was too gorgeous to leave behind. So.. (Sanskaar nodded ) Vaise, You too look handsome Mr Maheshwari!
Sanskaar : I know!
Swara (rolling her eyes) : Learn to accept a compliment.
Sanskaar : I do know. But it serves me better when I act like this with you.
They reached the others and Sumi complimented Sanskaar on his outfit and he thanked her gracefully and charmingly.
Sanskaar (whispering in Swara’s ear) : See? I can accept a compliment! Just differently with you.
Swara rolled her eyes again and made a move to speak but was interrupted by Uttara who was speaking in the mike.
Uttara : LADIES AND GENTLEMEN! WELCOME TO MY BELOVED BHAI SANSKAAR AND MY LOVELY BHABHI SWARA’S SANGEET! AS THE NAME SUGGESTS, TODAY THERE WILL BE LOTS OF MUSIC, DANCE AND ENJOYMENT! SO WITHOUT ANY FURTHER DELAY, LET’S START THE CELEBRATIONS… AND THE FIRST PERSON TO START THIS, WILL BE ME..
She stepped off the podium and came to the rest!
Uttara : Swara! Sanskaar! You are the judges of today… So make sure you notice everyone’s performance.. Ok?
Swara : Ok Uttara!
Sakshi : Uttara! You’re going down! down! down!
Uttara : Haha! Let’s see bhabhi… 😛
She went to the stage and began her performance :
Nazar jo teri laagi main deewani ho gayi
Deewani haan deewani, deewani ho gayi
Mash’hoor mere ishq ki kahaani ho gayi
Jo jag ne na maani toh maine bhi thaani
Kahaan thi main dekho kahaan chali aayi..
Kehte hain ye deewani mastani ho gayi
Mash’hoor mere ishq ki ye kahani ho gayi
Jo jag ne na maani toh maine bhi thaani
Kahaan thi main dekho kahaan chali aayi..
Kehte hain ye deewani mastani ho gayi
Deewani haan deewani, deewani ho gayi
Zakham aisa tune lagaya
Deewani, deewani, deewani, deewani ho gayi
Marham aisa tune lagaya
Ruhaani, ruhaani, ruhaani, ruhaani ho gayi
Pehchaan mere ishq ki ab toh
Pehchaan mere ishq ki ab toh
Rawaani, rawaani, rawaani, rawaani ho gayi
Ho.. mash’hoor mere ishq ki kahani ho gayi
Kehte hai yeh deewani, mastani ho gayi
Haan deewani, haan deewani, deewani ho gayi
Mash’hoor mere ishq ki kahani ho gayi
Jo jag ne na maani toh maine bhi thaani
Kahaan thi main dekho kahaan chali aayi
Kehte hain ye deewani, Mastani ho gayi
Deewani haan deewani, deewani ho gayi
She ended her dance and curtsied in front of everyone and they all clapped. Uttara came back and Laksh stared at her shocked.
Laksh : Gudiya! I never knew that my sister who didn’t know how to ride a cycle and was always falling down could dance so gracefully. ( walking around her) Who are you? And what have you done with my sister?
Uttara : Bhai! Nothing has happened to me. I’m still the same. Just grown up…
Sanskaar ( softly) : Too soon… You grew up too soon, My gudiya!
She turned to Sanskaar, her eyes glistening.
Uttara : Accha? I grew up too soon…. And what about you? You’re the one getting married bhai!
Sanskaar : Aww! Why are you crying, Uttara! (hugging her and whispering, though Swara could listen as well) Just listen! When you need me, Whatever you want, just call me.. I’ll leave this monster immediately and come to you. Ok?
Uttara giggled and nodded. Sanskaar saw Swara who was smiling at him.
Sujata : Arre! Are you going to keep talking or are you going to dance? NEXT PERFORMANCE!
Laksh : Well… Next performance is going to be mine… And Aarav’s as well…. We are in different teams.. Remember!
He went and Aarav joined him on the stage.
Laksh : Swara! You’ll have to assist us on this one…
Swara (surprised) : Me?
Aarav : Yes Swara! Come on.
Swara stood up, smiled, nodded to Sanskaar and left.
LAKSH : Jhumka gira de
Jo milale agar woh nazar se nazar mein taale
He pulled Swara towards him and danced.
AARAV : Nachke dikade,
Sabki dhadkan mein kadam se kadam milale
Aarav pulled Swara from Laksh and danced with her. Laksh joined them and all 3 danced, while Sanskaar watched them amused.
LAKSH : Lehron si chaal pe chaal bichade
Dil ko yun behaal bana de
BOTH : Par deewane mane
Na dekhi koi aisi girl
(Na dekhi koi aisi girl)
Dekhi lakh lakh pardesi girl
Ain’t nobody like my desi girl
Dekhi lakh lakh pardesi girl
Sab toh soni saadi desi girl
LAKSH : Who’s the hottest girl in the world?
My desi girl
My desi girl
AARAV : Thumka lagaike she’ll rock your world
My desi girl
My desi girl
Sanskaar (thinking) : Haww! Look how my Swara is dancing with those two. But why am I jealous? I know that there is nothing wrong with this dance, But still…..
He watched feeling less amused now.
My desi girl
My desi girl
AARAV : Pade kamar pe jo nazar
Saare sapno mein rang bhar jaaye
LAKSH : Jo tham le woh haath toh
Hus ke hi aashiq mar jaayein
SWARA : Dhoondon jahan mein chahe kahin
Na tumko milegi koi aisi girl
BOTH MEN : Dekhi lakh lakh pardesi girl
Ain’t nobody like my desi girl
Dekhi lakh lakh pardesi girl
Sab toh soni saadi desi girl
Sanskaar, finally couldn’t bear it and got up, much to everyone’s surprise. He walked over to Swara who was dancing and held her hand. She looked at him in surprise. He twirled her around and started dancing.
SANSKAAR : Who’s the hottest girl in the world?
My desi girl
My desi girl
Thumka lagaike she’ll rock your world
My desi girl
My desi girl
Everyone started laughing and Swara smiled, happy to be in Sanskaar’s arms.
ALL 3 MEN : My desi girl
My desi girl
Girl girl girl…..
They returned back and sat down.
Ragini : Kya Jiju? You couldn’t let Swara dance with even your brothers? So possessive…
Sanskaar looked down embarassed while everyone but Swara laughed. She just stared at him.
Sanskaar (feeling uncomfortable) : What?
Swara : Nothing really. Just that why did you come up there?
Sanskaar (moving closer to Swara in the loveseat that they shared) : Mrs to be Maheshwari…. Your husband is a complex man! Anything might go into his head… I have no idea why I came and danced… (softly) Just that you were there, so beautiful and I knew that I had to be there.. With you!
Swara blushed and looked down. Sanskaar lifted her face and shook his head.
Sanskaar : You’re too gorgeous to look down. (cupping her face) And you’re mine!
Swara just blushed harder at that and Sakshi noticed.
Sakshi : Sanskaar! What are you telling that made my sister blush?
Adarsh (joining them) : Minx! Just look at them… At least they are romancing! Tum na…. Bilkhul bekaar ho! (giving her a disgusted look)
Sakshi (mouth open) : Accha ji? Ab ruk, Arshu….
Uttara (joining them) : Adarsh bhai! Sakshi… It’s your turn! Go now…
Sakshi : Shall we, Adarsh Maheshwari?
Adarsh : Chalo Sakshi!
They went and began dancing!
SAKSHI : Didi tera devar deewana
Ho didi tera devar deewana
Haye Ram, kudiyon ko daale daana (Haye Ram, kudiyon ko daale daana)
Dhandha hai yeh uska puraana
Arrey dhandha hai yeh uska puraana
Haye Ram, kudiyon ko daale daana (Haye Ram, kudiyon ko daale daana)
Lallala.. (lai lai la..Lala)
Lallala.. (lai lai la..Lala)
Main boli ke laana Tu imli ka daana
Magar woh chuaare le aaya deewana
Main boli ke machle
Hai dil mera haye
Woh kharbuja laaya
Jo neembu mangaaya
Pagla hai koi usko bataana
Arrey pagla hai koi usko bataana
Haye Ram, kudiyon ko daale daana (Haye Ram, kudiyon ko daale daana)
Didi tera devar deewana
Haye Ram, kudiyon ko daale daana
Main boli ke laana
Tu mitti pahaadi
Magar woh bataashe le aaya anaadi
Main boli thi la de
Mujhe tu khataayi
Woh baazar se le ke aaya mithaai
Hun mushkil hai yuh mujhko phasaana
Ye mushkil hai yuh mujhko phasaana
Haye Ram, kudiyon ko daale daana (Haye Ram, kudiyon ko daale daana)
Oyi maa didi tera devar deewana
Haye Ram, kudiyon ko daale daana
ADARSH : Bhabhi teri behna ko maana
Ho bhabhi teri behna ko maana
Haye Ram, kudiyon ka hai zamaana
Haye Ram, kudiyon ka hai zamaana
Rabba mere mujhko bachaana
Ho rabba mere mujhko bachaana
Haye Ram, kudiyon ka hai zamaana (Heyy..)
Haye Ram, kudiyon ka hai zamaana (Heyy heyy..)
Rappapapa.. Tururururu rururu..
Rappapapa.. Tururururu rururu..
Hukum aapka tha
Jo maine na maana
Khatavaar hoon main
Na aaya nibhaana
Sazaa jo bhi doge
Woh manzoor hogi
Aji meri mushkil
Tabhi door hogi
Bandaa hai yeh khudse begaana (Heyy..)
Bandaa hai yeh khudse begaana (Heyy heyy..)
Haye Ram, kudiyon ka hai zamaana (Heyy heyy..)
(Haye Ram) Kudiyon ka hai zamaana (Repeat 3 times)
They ended the dance and began laughing!
Swara (after they returned to their seat) : Sakshi! Why are you troubling my poor devar? Itna pyar karta hai voh tumse?
Adarsh (making a sad face) : I know right Swara bhabhi! Just look how much she’s troubling me.
Sanskaar : Eyy! Don’t tell anything like that about my saali!
Swara : Sanskaar! My devar…
Sanskaar : Swara! My saali..
Sakshi (laughing) : Offo! Both of you don’t argue over this… Look, Arshu and I are like this, See… (she intertwined her hand with his and smiled at him)
They left leaving Swara and Sanskaar glaring at each other!
Sanskaar : Why don’t you ever support me?
Swara (indignantly) : I don’t support you? Haww… Why don’t YOU ever support me?
Sanskaar : Kyunki tum toh ho hi aisi!
Swara : Sanskaar, You’re arguing with me during our Sangeet?
Sanskaar : Swara, YOU’RE arguing with me during our sangeet!
Swara : Ugghhh! Talking to you is a waste of time.
Sanskaar : Haan? Toh! Who’s asking you to stay here? Bye! Go away…
Swara made a face at him and got up and left, and sat with Ragini and Karan.
Uttara : THE NEXT PERFORMANCE WILL BE BY MY PYAARI SI BADI MA, MA AND SHARMISHTA AUNTY!
AP : Me? No please!
Laksh : Ma! You have to go… Everyone’s dancing today!
Adarsh : Haan Ma! Everyone…
Sujata : Jiji! Please come… It will be fun…
AP : But..
Swara : Badi Ma? For me…
She threw a pleading look at AP who smiled and got up and the three matrons went to the stage.

They danced vigorously and gracefully while the youngsters stared shocked. After they finished, Swara ran over to them and hugged the three together, enveloping them in one giant hug.
Swara : Badi Ma! Ma! Mom! You danced soooo well! You made my day today.
Laksh : Sacchi! Be careful from now on…
Sumi (Surprised) : Careful? Why?
Laksh : Aunty! Now men are going to be after you like pigs. Be very careful. What if someone proposes you?
Everyone laughed while Sujata pulled Laksh’s ear!
Laksh : Ow.. Ow.. Chachi!
Sujata (chuckling) : Laksh! You’ve become very naughty. I have to do this.. Then only will you be a good boy!
Ragini : Aunty! Rukiye mat! Pull more!
She winked at Laksh. Laksh just stared at his love laughing and was mesmerized. He forgot everything.
Swara (suddenly in front of him) : Dramebaaz! What happened?
Laksh blinked. He realised that Chachi had left his ear and was now discussing Ragini and Karan’s performance.
Karan?
Shit!
He focused on Swara who was looking at him with a puzzled frown!
Laksh (putting an arm around her) : Nothing baba! Why?
Swara : Laksh! You’re hiding something from me na? What is it?
Laksh : Swara! I already told you.. It’s nothing!
Swara : Laksh! I’m your best friend… Won’t you tell even me?
He looked at her, saw the honesty, concern and worry in her eyes and sighed.
Laksh : I will Swara! But not now. After your wedding…
Swara : But..
Laksh (cutting her off) : Swara! My final offer… I’m not going to tell you before that.
Swara (frustrated) : Fine. But I am worried Laksh!
Laksh : Don’t worry Swara! It’s nothing.
Sanskaar : Swara!
Swara nodded her excuse and went to Sanskaar who was trying to mollify her. Laksh smiled at them both and sighed, his heart crying as he saw Ragini and Karan gearing up for their act.
Uttara : Laksh!
Laksh ( ignoring the emotional turmoil) : Yes?
Uttara : What are you doing there? Come over here!
Laksh (nodding) : Yes baba! I’m coming…
Ragini : NOW IT’S TIME FOR MY DANCE. Di! This is for you…
Swara blew her a flying kiss and they began dancing…
Banno ki saheli..
Resham ki dori
Chhup chhup ke sharmaaye
Dekhe chori chori (Repeat once)
Yeh maane ya na maane main toh ispe mar gaya
Yeh ladki hai Allah, hai hai re Allah
Yeh ladki hai Allah, hai hai re Allah
Babul ki galiyaan..
Na chad ke jaana
Paagal deewana..
Isko samjhana (Repeat once)
Dekho ji dekho yeh to mere peeche pad gaya
Yeh ladka hai Allah, hai hai re Allah
Yeh ladka hai Allah, hai hai re Allah
Lab kahe na kahe
Bolti hai nazar
Pyaar nahin chupta..
Yaar chhupaane se
(Pyaar nahin chupta..
Yaar chhupaane se)
Aa..roop ghoonghat mein ho
Toh suhana lage
Baat nahin banti yaar bataane se
Yeh dil ki baatein dil hi jaane ya jaane khuda
Yeh ladki hai Allah, hai hai re Allah
Yeh ladka hai Allah, hai hai re Allah
Mangne se kabhi
Haath milta nahin
Jodiyaan banti hai..
Pehle se sabki
(Jodiyaan banti hai..
Pehle se sabki)
Ho..leke baaraat ghar
Tere aaonga main
Meri nahin yeh toh
Marzi hai rab ki
Arey ja re ja yun
Jhooti muthi baatein na bana
Yeh ladki hai Allah, hai hai re Allah
Yeh ladki hai Allah, hai hai re Allah
Banno ki saheli..
Resham ki dori
Chhup chhup ke sharmaaye
Dekhe chori chori
Babul ki galiyaan..
Na chad ke jaana
Paagal deewana..
Isko samjhana
Yeh maane ya na maane main toh ispe mar gaya
Yeh ladki..
Yeh ladki hai Allah, hai hai re Allah
Yeh ladka hai Allah, hai hai re Allah
Ye.. yeh ladki hai Allah, hai hai re Allah
They returned and everyone praised their performance.
Swara ( To Sanskaar) : They make such a wonderful couple na?
Sanskaar (smiling warmly at her) : They do. Ragini and Karan suit each other very well…
Swara smiled and rested her head on Sanskaar’s shoulder watching the couple. Laksh heard them and couldn’t bear it anymore. He had to get some air. He started to move when…
Ragini : Laksh!
Laksh (fake cheerful voice) : Yes Ragini?
Ragini : Where are you going? Come, We have to make Swara and Sanskaar dance now. They are protesting.
Laksh (surprised) : Protesting? Why?
Ragini (rolling her eyes) : Come and see yourself.
Laksh came back and saw that Swara was indeed protesting to dance with Sanskaar!
Swara : We always dance. It’s too boring nowadays. You people dance now.
Laksh : Swara! Ek number ki pagal ho tum.. Go and dance chup chaap!
Swara : But… .
Sanskaar : Swara! These people aren’t going to leave us. We will dance. OK FINE! SWARA AND I WILL DANCE… Happpy?
Everyone cheered.
Sanskaar : But today we are not going to dance alone. And nor will it be a slow song..
Swara (surprised) : It’s not?
Sanskaar ( calling out to the watchman) : RAMSINGH! Let them in..
All the guests strained their necks to see who was entering. A group of Punjabi people with huge drums entered and came on to the stage. Swara stared delighted and astounded.
Sanskaar went up to the stage and said.
Sanskaar : Swara! This one’s for you….
And he danced, not slow… This was a fast paced song, full of energy and vibrancy!
Rang puredi rang rangili
Ladki chail chapili
Usde chan chal nain kadaa
Are chan chan nain katar usda
Roop bana hatiyar
Uske roop se katal huye tho
Charcha shuro hua
Nagada nagada nagada baja
Nagada nagada nagada baja
Sanskaar pulled Swara and danced around her.
Oooo
Rang puredi rang rangili
Chail Chabile nar
Chan chal nain katar di
Usda roop tez talwar
Uske roop se katal huye tho
Charcha shuro hua
heeeyyyyyyyyyyy…
Nagada nagada nagada baja
Nagada nagada nagada baja
hhoooyyyeee
Swara walked over to him and he pulled her close, touching her face.
Hai hai hai
Jab bhi woh ladki, kidki pe aaye
Koi usko dhek mare,
Koi bin dheke mar jaye
Aare guzre gali mohalle se
Tho mela sa lag jatha tha
har ek aashiq id manata
bhangda gatha tha
katam na hota deewano ke
Jalse shuro hua
heeeyyyyyyyyyyy…
Nagada nagada nagada baja
Nagada nagada nagada baja
The two came down and began pulling everyone to dance. The Punjabis who came began drumming with gusto!
Aare bachpan se uska
Ek deewana tha
Jiska kaam gali ke aashiq pare hatana tha
Dil se jisko maan raha tha
Apne dil ki rani woh
Aur kisi pe hi yaaro marti thi marjani woh
Ek kahani khatam tho duja kissa shuro hua
Nagada nagada nagada baja
Nagada nagada nagada baja
Oooo
Rang puredi rang rangili
Chail Chabile nar
Chan chal nain katar da
Uska roop tez talwar
Uske roop se katal huye tho
Charcha shuro hua
Nagada nagada nagada baja
Nagada nagada nagada baja —4
hoooyyyyeee
Swara (after the energetic performance) : Punjabi drummers… I’m impressed Mr Maheshwari!
Sanskaar (gloating) : Thanks! I pride myself on it.
Swara (rolling her eyes) : Do you ever leave a chance to praise yourself?
Sanskaar (surprising Swara by lifting her up) : Of course not! I’m too awesome for that!
Swara : Sanskaar! What are you doing? Put me down!
Sanskaar (walking over to the stage, whispering) : You have a promise to keep up, Remember?
Swara (softly) : I hadn’t forgotten.
Sanskaar put her down on the stage and took the mike!
Sanskaar : WE ALL DANCED AND ENJOYED! BUT WE DO HAVE ONE LAST PERFORMANCE. MY SWARA WILL SING A SONG FOR US. WITH HER NIGHTINGALE LIKE VOICE. PLEASE, EVERYONE, A ROUND OF APPLAUSE.
He began to go down while everyone clapped for Swara. Swara’s voice checked him.
Swara (softly) : Sanskaar! Stay up?
He saw her face and nodded. Sanskaar came and stood next to Swara!
Swara : This song is just for you. You asked me to sing from my heart and I will.
She began singing… Walking around Sanskaar, standing in front of him… But her eyes never left his!
Rehnuma…
Tu jo mila, sab mil gaya
Dil ki namaazein jaake
Pahunchi falak se aage
Toh jaake paaya tujhko
Mere rehnuma…
Mujhko mera Rabb mil gaya
Baahon se aage tere
Duniya nahi hai meri
Rakhle yahin tu mujhko
Mere rehnuma…
Jo naa bhaaye, teri nazar ko
Dekhungi naa main phir woh nazara
Tu jo mile toh, chhod doon khud ko
Tujhme kahin hai mera kinaara
Bas tu hi tu mujhe yaad hai
Dil ki namaazein jaake
Pahunchi falak se aage
Toh jaake paaya tujhko
Mere rehnuma…
Guzri hoon jab se, main tere dar se
Hasne lagi hoon main, khul ke rehbar
Dard se tere rista juda toh
Ab muskuraate hai mere manjar
Haan.. Rabb ki mujhe saugaat hai
Dil ki namaazein jaake
Pahunchi falak se aage
Toh jaake paaya tujhko
Mere rehnuma…
Baahon se aage tere
Duniya nahi hai meri
Rakhle yahin tu mujhko
Mere rehnuma…
She had poured her heart and soul in the song and everyone could see it. They all were shell shocked at the raw display of emotion in Swara’s song. Swara continued to stare at Sanskaar, whose eyes showed the shock he felt.
Sanskaar (thinking) : This song? The emotions…. What does it mean? Why this song? Why?
Swara smiled at him.
Swara (thinking) : Indirectly, I have told you my feelings. I have ripped open my heart. Please… Please don’t break it!
She went down and joined the others as they praised her singing.
Sanskaar sat on the steps of the stage, his eyes following Swara! He was still shocked and didn’t know what to do…
Sanskaar : Swara told she didn’t love me. But this…. The emotions…. I… What does this mean?
Suddenly he heard Swara talking to Ragini.
Swara : Ragini! stop praising Sanskaar so much! He’s a khadoos… But khadoos though he is, He is my Khadoos! Pata nahi meri zindagi mein kya hoga?
Sanskaar stopped listening to them.
My Khadoos!
My Khadoos?
Where had he heard that before?
Suddenly he remembered one night, in Sanskaar’s room… They were eating chocolate. They were drunk?
Sanskaar (Thinking) : Swara has told this before… My khadoos… When was this? What was it?
His eyes grew round with shock as he remembered that day, after the holi carnival!
***************************************
Swara (whispering excitedly) : SShhhh…. No one else can know…. Listen… My fiance na? Khadoos Maheshwari? He is not khadoos anymore… He is a very nice man… And do you know the biggest thing of all? Come closer.. I’ll tell you..
Sanskaar leaned in closer.
Swara (whispering) : I LOVE MY KHADOOS MAHESHWARI! I HAVE FALLEN DESPERATELY IN LOVE WITH HIM…..
********************************************
Sanskaar got up stunned….
Sanskaar (looking at a smiling Swara talking to Karan) : She loves me? Swara loves me?

LOVE YOU TOO!!!!!
This chappy was just out of the world…..
???
Loved it to the core…???
Laksh loves ragini (well I didn’t guess…..even then it was not a shock…?)
I just loved sanksar’s possessiveness (couldn’t say jealous…*I guess*)…..the way he entered in stage to dance with swara???
Finally swara confessed her feelings indirectly was not an expected one but I just loved it???
Sanskar recalling and realising it is even more awesome…..???
Overall this chappy is
amazing….
brilliant….
cute….
dashing….
ecstatic….
fantastic….
great….
heartwarming….
imposing….
joyful….

Anjali .. I am so so so so sorry.. Big big wala sorry.. I didn’t see ur update.. Was just now surfing and got to see urs..
I loved the epi.. Totally fallen for the epi.. Laksh and ragini… And swara and sanskaar .. 2 booms.. Expected 1 came 2.. But incredibly loved both.. .. I was a swasanholic but reading ur ff, in no time I will become a pure sanskaarholic… The Punjabi avatar was too cool.. And song rehnuman is among one of my favourites.. I found adakshi sho cuteeee… And ragini’s song I never heard neither the mother’s one nor sanskaar’s one .. So can’t tell anything for them..
For the upcoming track.. I would just say that I want swasan to get United , not in any of the ritual functions but before or after the wedding.. Publically or personally .. I donly mind.. But what so ever .. It will be solely your choice ,, can’t say anything for raglak or ragkar..
???????.. Waiting for next epi
Accha ji… Just now u told that Eva will scold if I tell sorry… And you come and tell sorry to me?
DO you think I won’t scold?? Just ask Pranami and Juan just how much I scold them…
Khabardaar… Phir se tum aisi nahi karogi!! Ok????
Anyways, Am really really happy you loved it!!!!
Lol… Become a Sanskaaraholic… We will gappe maarify about him 🙂 😛 😛
Adakshi is one of my most proud moments… I’m very happy with all the characters in this for some reason… Just have to explore Ragini’s track more… But first SWASAN!!!! <3 <3
Ragini's song… Is from kabhi khushi kabhi gham
mothers – english vinglish
sanskaar's – jab we met
And swasan will get united… But when, where and how.. I myself have no idea 😛 😛
And let's see about Raglak or Ragkar…
Will try to post ASAP!!!
Are meri sweet sisses.. Sab log mujhe daatne lage… Itne cute girl koi daat ta hai kya??? Kitni baar hume bataana padega… Leave all that.. on Eva’s ff page u told that we didnt had a long chat till now .. Koi nahi yaar.. Alls fine.. I know u had exams… But there’s a big prob .. Hope u read my problem on Eva’s page.: u know I am in pool of tears.. I really want to chat with all my friends, and sissies tomorrow.. All close people including u two.. Be online tomorrow.. Don’t know if tomorrow’s my last day.. My sisters are crying so badly .. I just wanna be with them, hug them and live but don’t know what’s God plan.. 17th may .. The day my life gonna change.. But on 16tg may.. I wanna be me.. Do ask anything from me kiddo and Anjali.. I wanna be complete frank to u both
I read it riya…. but nothing will happen to you….
I am completely confident….. you will come back to us…. just believe in yourself…. I will be here tomorrow… waiting for updates from misha……
Be strong..
Love you…. you will definitely get to do all the things you ever wanted to do…?????
Sorry Anjali,
I don’t see your ff earlier. I was waiting for this very badly. Dont know how I missed it.
Funally sanku gets to know swara loves him. And sad about Laksh. I lyk RAGLAK. And also know that Ragu loves Karan. Please if therw is any hope let them be a pair. Imean I don’t want lucky to be a romeo
What will swara do after finding lakshs love towrds ragu. Soch soch ke thak chuki hum.. do something fast yaar.
Jane.. Pls don’t tell sorry… I scold anyone who apologises… So please don’t!!!
Aww… Glad you liked the twists….
Let’s see about Raglak… I like them as wel… But I’l see which suits them the best…
Swara’s expression.. Even I’m thinking about that…
THNXX!!!!! <3 <3
