Chapter 10
Hey guys!! Missed me? No? How mean ???. So I’m back with the next part to annoy you readers, be prepared ???. Thank you all for giving me your support through likes/dislike + comments. All of those means a lot. Thank you silent reader’s for your support too ???
Ok, so today you’ll see more rituals and if I wrote anything about the ritual wrong, please forgive me ??? I don’t know much about those!!! Let’s get started then.
Previously on “Unwritten Love Of Destiny”,
First they were applying haldi on Kabir. After all the elders were done, Anand asked the trio to take part too. They were getting uncomfortable but what to do? They don’t have a choice.
So daring Pragya went first, Isha followed her lead. Lastly came Sanchi’s turn.
She took a bit of haldi and smeared it on the palms. She was nervous. She looked at everywhere but Kabir.
*******************************************
“Go on beta, apply it ??? you don’t get a chance to apply haldi on your very strict senior everyday!!” Gayatri said winking at her ???.
Sanchi gave a small smile ans applied it as per the ritual (Don’t know how they actually do it)
And lastly she had to apply it on his face. She looked at him. He too looked at her. Both were lost in each other’s eyes. Sanchi slowly lifted her hands to his face. As she touched his face, he closed his eyes at the contact, leaning his face to her hand. Sanchi too closed her eyes at the contact and applied haldi.
(Don’t ask me what other people do when they see Kanchi like this, ??? coz like typical Indian tv shows, these two are lost in their own world and others don’t notice any of this ???)
They came back to their senses hearing a loud music. Sanchi parted away from Kabir and stood up.
“Ok everyone c’mon!! Let’s dance!!” Someone yelled from somewhere.
“Chalo Sanchi, now they’re gonna apply haldi on Riya. Let’s dance until they finish!!” Isha hurried Sanchi.
Sanchi too smiled and started to walk away from Kabir, but alas!!! God didn’t want that to happen. With Sanchi’s next step, she slipped and fell on top of Kabir, making him fall on his back too. Sanchi’s dupatta fell on them, covering both of them. They were in a hugging kind of position.
Sanchi tried to lift herself. Kabir too turned his face at the same time. Their eyes met. It was like their eyes were having a conversation that doesn’t turn in to words.
They were brought back to senses by Neeta’s voice. “Are you alright Sanchi?” She asked.
Sanchi quickly got up and replied, “yes ma’am, I’m alright!” smiling.
As she faced others, Kusum’s eyes went wide. “Sanchi beta, there’s haldi on your face” she told her.
“Haldi? On my face? How?” Saying that she touched her cheek. True to Kusum’s words, her whole right cheek is covered with haldi.
“My hand might’ve touched my cheek when I tripped. I’ll just go and clean this and come back” she said disappearing towards stairs hurriedly.
Kabir just looked on without a word.
She went to a bathroom quickly and closed the door. She came near the mirror on the wall and looked at herself. She recalled how she got haldi on her face again.
When she fell on kabir, her cheek touched his, which was applied haldi.
“I got haldi from his face. Usska naam ka haldi mere cheher main?………… (his names haldi on my face?)………… this is only Riya’s right!!” She said bitterly and washed her face. Wiped her face and reapplied her makeup and quickly went out.
Outside, Riya’s haldi was almost finished. Sanchi came near her and applied haldi on Riya’s face happily.
Now time for mehendi.
Colour theme – green shades
Place – Malhotra Mansion
All the men were disappeared. Only women are present. Mehendi artists are applying mehendi on Riya’s hands. Sanchi, Pragya and Isha are dancing with some other girls. Gayatri asked Kusum to apply mehendi on Riya’s hand as a rasam. Kusum agreed hesitantly.
**How I wish this is my Sanchi! She’s my Kabir’s happiness but he isn’t ready to accept her.** Kusum thought while adding a design to Riya’s hand.
Someone dragged Sanchi, Isha and Pragya, asking them to apply mehendi too. Sanchi didn’t wanted to, so she made Pragya go first. Mehendi lady asked her whose name she want to write on her hand. She replied, “Satish” blushing. Others started to tease her.
Sanchi made Riya stand carefully, not looking at her hands. She didn’t want to see Kabir’s name on her hands. They were dancing happily. Suddenly, lights went out. No one can see anything.
“Ouch!! Who stepped on my foot?” Isha screamed.
“I think that’s me. Sorry Isha!” said Riya.
“Oh my god!! Someone hit me!!” Came Sanchi’s voice.
“Sorry yaar. You’re not hurt right? came Pragya’ s voice.
“I hope lights will come quickly. Don’t know what these servants are doing” saying Riya tried to move but
THUD!!!
heard a noise. Lights came exactly then. Four girls were groaning. Why? Well they fell on top of each other. Everyone around them were laughing seeing them.
“Guys please!!! Get up!!! I can’t breath!!!” Sanchi squealed from bottom. On top of her was Riya. On top of her, was the other duo.
“Arre beauty queen!! You should do more exercise!! You’re too heavy” Riya told Isha.
“No!! I’m not!!” Isha protested.
“Abae ooo!!! Chup kar aur utt!!!……….. (shut up and get up!!!) Pragya yelled.
They all got up and adjusted their dresses. Sanchi looked horrified.looking at her hand. Others got worried.
“Kya hua bae???” – Pragya
“Yeah what’s wrong? Did you got hurt when we fall?” Riya too asked with concern.
But Sanchi was still looking at her hand. So Isha grabbed her hand and looked what happened. She too got shocked. Other two peered. On Sanchi’s hand was the exact print on Riya’s mehendi with Kabir’s name in it.
Sanchi looked at Riya. Riya was looking at her hand and Sanchi’s hand with an unreadable expression.
Sanchi felt bad. “Riya I’m so-”
“No Sanchi, don’t say sorry. It wasn’t your fault. I might’ve touched your hand when we fell on each other” she said. “C’mon! We should get ready. It’s time for sangeet now!”
“Ok you guys go I’ll join you after I wash my hands” Sanchi said and went to a washroom, again!!
Kusum who saw this thought, **Yeh kaisa mazak hai appki bhagwan?……….. (what kind of a joke is this of yours, god?)………… first haldi, then mehendi!! What are you trying to do with these kids lives?**
Sanchi went to the washroom in the room she was using with Pragya and Isha. She washed away the mehendi on her hand but the problem was the colour was getting darker and darker. She looked at her hand and cried ???.
“Why am I so unlucky? Pahele usska naam ka haldi mere cheher main, ab usska naam mere haat main! Yeh kaisa saza hai bhagwan? Mein jaanti hoon mein kabhi usski nahi ho sakta!! Phir kyu app mujhe itna dard de rahi ho?………. (first his name’s haldi on my face, now his name is on my hand! I know I can never be his!! So why are you giving me this much pain, god?). This name should never be on my hand. NEVER!!!”
She started to rub hand furiously, to wash away the mehendi stain. Isha opened the bathroom door and came in and stopped her.
“Bas Karo Sanchi! Stop it now!! Your hand will bleed if you rub it this much!” Isha stopped her by holding her hand.
Sanchi was trying to get her hand free. “I don’t care!! I just want this to go even if I had to cut off my hand!!” She sobbed.
Isha hugged her to calm her down. “Sshhh!!! Calm down Sanchi, come let’s go to the room” she took her out and made her sit.
“I can’t do this anymore Isha! I can’t go through this pain! I’m not this much strong!!” Sanchi said sobbing.
Pragya too came in. She saw Sanchi’s state. She placed her hand on her shoulder. “Sanchi, if you want, we can still stop this wedding”
“Haa Sanchi, don’t worry. We’ll help you!!” Isha agreed with Pragya.
“No!!! Are you guys mad??? I’m not stopping this wedding, I can’t do that to Riya!! I want him to be happy. Riya loves him. For the past few days we spent with her, made me understand that she’s not as bad as we thought. She’ll make him happy. He’ll learn to love her too. I’ve given him too much pain. I ONLY gave him pain. Firstly, I gave him pain by rejecting him and now I’m giving him pain by loving him. It’s time to let go of all of this and move on. He deserves every happiness in the world!!” She rejected their idea.
“It’s easy to say but can you move on?” Asked Isha.
Sanchi’s face clouded. “No it’s not easy for me. May be I’ll never move on but it’s time for him, to move on” She said determined.
“Sanchi, you’re hiding something from us. What are you planning?” Pragya was puzzled.
“I’ll tell you guys later. C’mon it’s time for sangeet. We should get ready” saying that she went to the closet to get her clothes.
Sangeet ceremony.
Colour theme – any colour mixed with black
Place – still Malhotra Mansion
They dance to various songs. Anand-Gayatri, Dadi with Neeta-Adarsh, Sanchi-Pragya-Isha. Veer didn’t want to take part in this but Sanchi somehow managed to bring him to the dance floor with Garv.
Sanchi was happily enjoying. Kabir’s eyes only stayed on her. Never moving away. It was same throughout all the ceremonies. Whenever Sanchi was there, his eyes always run to find her. His eyes portrayed how much he longed to be with her. But he can’t. He can’t because in his mind he thought that she belong to someone else.
Riya was paying all the attention to herself as usual but she did notice him always being lost. Some times she saw him staking glances at Sanchi but she didn’t think about it much coz according to her, she’s gonna marry him anyway and no one’s gonna stop the wedding.
Another one noticed Kabir’s behaviour. That’s Veer. Veer was puzzled by all this. He didn’t understand any of this. But he thought maybe if Kabir got married to Riya, maybe in the future, MAYBE Sanchi will fall for him again. Even though he knew he was being selfish, he kept his mouth shut. It was until now. Now something changed his mind. What made him change his mind so suddenly? Let’s find out.
As the last song of sangeet, whole family was dancing to “hello hello”. Everyone joined except Kabir. He was watching from a side admiring the smile on Sanchi’s face. The song was ending and all who danced were leaving the dance floor. But she was still there.
**How can you smile like this with all of this happenings? How can you-** his thoughts were disturbed by a weird feeling. **What’s happening? Why do I feel this way? He looked around to figure why he feels so restless. His instinct told him to look up and he got shocked!!!
He suddenly screamed “SANCHI…!!!” and ran to her. He hugged her tight with so much force, making her take 2-3 steps back. Just as he hugged her, the beautiful big chandelier which was hanging in the ceiling, fell down and broke in to pieces, on the exact same spot Sanchi was standing few seconds ago.
Everyone was horrified to see what happened. If Kabir was another second late, Sanchi would’ve died.
Kabir broke the hug. Holding her shoulder by one of his hands, he touched her face with the other. “Are you alright Sanchi? Did you got hurt? I was so scared you’d get hurt and I-” he was blabbering and panicking.
Others were looking at them. Sanchi noticed it and took another step back making some distance between herself and Kabir. Kabir had to let go of her as she was stepping back.
“No sir I’m alright.Don’t worry!!! You saved me from getting hurt na? So thank you so much! ???.” She smiled at him.
He looked hurt. He got the hidden meaning in her words. It meant that he shouldn’t be that much worried about her. It meant that if the chandelier fell on her, it won’t be as painful as the pain she’s going through now. It meant that he has no right to panic so he should stay away from her as much as possible.
Sanchi saw Riya looking depressed. She went to him. “Tumhe kya hua?” She asked her.
“Look na Sanchi, I wanted everything to be perfect but something or other goes wrong.” said Riya.
“Yeh chandelier, fell and broke in to pieces!! This is very inauspicious!!!” Gayatri said with a worried look.
“No aunty! Nothing is inauspicious!! This chandelier might’ve gotten loose when they were doing the decorations. That’s all. Nothing serious!!” Saying that Sanchi turned to the crowd. “All of you might be tired right? Since there’s still some time for the wedding to take place, all of you can take some rest!!”
The guests agreed to her idea and went to their rooms in Malhotra Mansion.
Sanchi, Isha, Pragya, Riya, Kabir, Veer, Kusum Gayatri & Anand are left.
