Next Day

"Jaldi shuru kar Kusum..!" Shruti said excitedly.

"Haan Kusum jaldi next story read kar..!" Ambi said with a puppy face.

"Kar rahi hoon baba kar rahi hoon...!" Kusum said and turned the pages. "The Moon...! " 

"Story ka title toh thik hai par story ka connection kaise banega title se woh padhna hai..!" Ambi said.

"Main shuru kar rahi hoon padhna..!" Kusum said and started reading...

" Chhote sahab ke aankhon se patti toh hata.!" A man ordered his assistant. He removed the blindfold from the man's eyes. The man is shocked to see that a fire is burning in a Havan Kund and he is sitting beside the bride.

"Yeh sab kya hai aur mujhe yahan kya bithaya hai...!" He said angrily. "Sir ji vyah ho raha hai aapka, meri behan ke saath...!" The second man replied with a smile. "Kya bakwas hai...!" He stand up angrily. "Bakwas nhi sach hai aur hamare idhar isko pakdva vivah kehte hai...ab shanti se baith jao aur vyah racha lo meri behan se warna iee dekh rahe ho (unlocking his gun) ek second mein bheja khali kar denge..."

"Tum jante ho hum kaun hai...!" He said angrily. "Anubhav naam hai tumhara...Lucknow ke bade businessman ho rahe ho..babu hamare yahan pakada shaadi karane se pehle ladke ke background jaan lete hai hum...aur waise bhi hamari iklauti behan ki zindagi ka sawal tha..!" The man said with a smile.

"Hum nhi karne wale yeh shaadi...!" Anubhav denied angrily. "Karna padega warna yahin ke yahin khopdi uda denge tumhara...!" The bride's father said angrily.

"Darte nhi hai hum tum jaise sadak chhap gundo se...!" Anubhav said boldly. "Par tera parivaar toh darta hai na..!" The bride's brother said smirking at him. "Hamare parivaar ko haath lagaya toh...."Apna muh band karke shaadi karlo..kuch nhi karenge tumhare parivaar ko..!" The bride's father said.

"Ek baar apni beti se toh puchh lo..use karni hai humse shaadi ya nhi..!" Anubhav said angrily. "Hamari marji uski marji...samjhe ab munh band rakho warna khopdi khol denge..!"

Anubhav looks at the bride, whose face was covered with veil.

Next Day in early morning

Anubhav is standing on a big mansion's door with his wife and her relatives.

"Anu yeh sab kya hai..!" Anubhav's mother asked him, seeing him with a bride.  "Hum batate hai mata ji...(bride's brother interrupted) yeh aapki bahu hai aur aapke bete hamare jija ji.. !"

Maa looked at Anubhav questioning eyes, Anubhav nodded with angry eyes. "Dekhiye Mata ji hum jante hai aapki bhi ichha rahi hogi bete ki shaadi ki par...hamare yahan pakdva shaadi ka riwaj hai isliye humne aisa hume karna pada baki aap chahe toh apni ichhayen puri kar sakti hai hume koi samsya nhi hai aur na hamari behan ko hogi...waise bata rahe hai mata ji hamari jiji hai bahot hoshiyaar aapko kabhi koi shikaayat ka mauka nhi dengi...bas aap bhi mat dena hume shikaayat ka mauka...!" He said with an ear to ear smile.

"Par..Mata ji (cuts off maa's words) agar hamari behan se badhiya ladki aapko mil jaye toh kahiye....hamari jiji sona hai woh bhi khara sona...!"

"Toh le jao na apne khara sona behan ko yahan se...!" Anubhav said tauntingly. "Jija ji..jara prem se baat kariye kaahe ki hume bardaasht nhi hai koi hamari behan ke baare mein kuch bole.." He warned Anubhav calmly.

Maa noticed the guns in the bride's brother's hand. "Aap log chinta mat kariye hum aapki behan ko koi taklif nhi hone denge...!" Maa said in fear. Anubhav looked at maa and was about to say something but maa stopped him.

A few moments later...

"Yeh hai tumhara kamaraa...!" Maa said to the bride, showing her son's room to her.  "Ab jaise bhi ho par shaadi ho gyi hai..aur hum jante hai tumhe bhi bahot bura lag raha hoga aakhir tumhare bhi kuch sapne rahe honge apni shaadi ke liye...!" Maa said emotionally.

"Khair tum aaram karo...aur Anu kuch bole toh hume bata dena hum uski khabar lenge...!" Maa said with a smile, she nodded.

"Hum aate hai...!" Maa was about to walked out from the room when her daughter in law calls her "Maa ji...!"  Oh my gosh..her sweet voice is enough to melt the stone.

"Kya hua beti...! Maa asked sweetly. " Hamare bhai ne jo kiya hum uske liye maafi chahte hai aur sach kahe toh hum bhi is riwaj ke khilaf hai par Bauji ke aage chalti nhi hai hamari...!" She put her point.

"Koi baat nhi..waise bhi ek tarah se hum khush hi hai ki Anu ki shaadi ho gyi warna hamari lakhon koshishon ke baad bhi shaadi hi nhi ho pa rahi thi..!" Maa said with a smile.

"Aisa kyu..?" The bride asked. "Woh darsal... "Dadi...(the voice interrupts the convo) yeh kaun hai?" Seven years old a boy and a girl asked together. 

Maa looks at them with a smile, the bride too. "Yeh kaun hai Dadi?" The boy asked again. "Yeh...yeh tum dono ki maa...!" Maa said with a smile, shocking the bride. "Kyaa..sacchi...?" The siblings asked happily.  "Haan...!"

"Yayyy...hamari Mumma aa gyi...!" The duo starts jumping in joy and then hugs the bride. "Kahan thi aap mumma...!" The girl asked emotionally.

"Yeh...yeh dono...aur hum maa..?" The bride asked. "Yeh dono hamare bacche hai...!" Anubhav answered coldly. "Aur aap aise hairan kyu ho rahi hai..aapke bhai aur Pita ji ko toh sab pata hai hamare baare mein..yani aapko bhi pata hoga..!" He taunted her.

"Anu...(sternly) yeh kya tarika hai apni biwi se baat karne ka aur Anika Arnav yahi hai isliye soch samjh kar bol..!" Maa scolded Anubhav. "Dadi...aap kyun Papa ko daant rahi ho..dekho ab hamari mumma bhi aa gyi hai isliye Papa ko mat daanto...!" Anika said innocently.

"Achha theek hai nhi daantate hum...ab tum dono hamare saath chalo warna school bus chhut jayegi..!"  Maa said, grabbing their hands.

"Aaj nhi jana hume school....aaj maa ke  saath rahenge..!" Arnav said with a cute pout. "Arnav..bekar ki zidd nhi karte...school jao aur haan yeh tumhari maa nhi hai...!" Anubhav said, glaring at his wife.

"Par Dadi ne toh kaha ki....Tum dono apne Papa ki baaton ko chhodo aur chalo hamar saath..!" Maa said after cutting Anika's words.  They hummed sadly and left from the room with maa.

"Kaan kholkar ek baat sun lo tum...hamare bacchon ke karib aane ki koshish mat karna aur unhe nuksaan pahuchane ke baare mein sochna bhi toh woh hashr karenge tumhara ki tumhara  bhai puri zindagi pachhatata rah jayega humse shaadi karaane ke liye..!" Anubhav warned his wife.

"Hum..hum..kyun..aapke bacchon ko kuch karenge....waise bhi un dono ne hume maa kah kar, hume khud se ek bandhan mein bandh diya hai..!" She said with courage. "Maa nhi ho tum un dono ki aur koshish bhi mat karna...!" He shouted angrily.

"Dekhiye..mana hamare gharwalon ne hamari aapke saath jabardasti shaadi karai hai par hamare paas bhi hamara aatma-samman hai isliye aawaz neeche karke baat kariye...jaisi bhi hai biwi hai hum aapki...!" She said boldly.

"Aatmasamman..(smile sarcastically) agar aatmasamman hota na tum humse shaadi hi nhi karti...!" He taunted her. "Humne bas apne Bau ji ki baat ka maan rakha hai aur kuch nhi...!" She replied. "Bau ji ki baat ka maan *sarcastically* hum achhe jante hai tum jaisi ladkiyon ke safed jhooth isliye nautanki band karo apni aur bolo kitne paise mein hamara pichha chhodene wali ho...!"

"Oh..6 feet 1 inch hum chup hai iska matlab yeh nhi ki tum hume kuch bhi bolege hum sunte rahenge..mile honge aap paiso par khud ko bechane wale logon se hum nhi hai aur dobara humse aise baat ki na toh Ganga maiyan ki saugandh....bhool jayenge hum ki aap hamare Pati hai...!" She replied back with anger.

"Tum...*his phone rings* tumhe toh hum baad mein dekhte hai...!" He left the room.

She removed her veil and then looked at herself through the mirror. "Haseena...Bau ji ke kehne par shaadi kar toh li par is gussail Pati ko  sambhalegi kaise...!" She said to herself. Suddenly she felt someone standing behind her, she turned but no one was there.

"Hume vaham hua ya sach mein pichhe koi khada tha..!" She thought.

*Thud..!!* The vase suddenly falls and breaks into pieces, which scares her.  She looks at the pieces of the vase but this time again a shadow appears in front of her eyes which suddenly vanishes.

"Nhi...is baar vaham nhi tha par...!" She is hella scared now.
