Manan: Epitome of Love

A Match For Nandani

14 Feb: Amms house 7:30 pm

Raj, Nyo n Amms were sitting in the living room talking on some random topic when Amms received Nandani's call informing that she would be late. Amms told Raj n Nyo about her conversation with Nandani.

Amms: Nandani ka phone tha...bol rahi thi ki late ho jaayegi. Kirti k saath dinner karke lautegi. Waise acha hai woh yahan nahi hai....mujhe tum dono se bahut zaroori baat karni hai jo mein Nandani k saamne nahi kar sakti.

Raj n Nyo both look at each other feeling the seriousness in her tone.

Raj: Maa, kya hua....aap bataiye?

Amms: Beta....waise mujhe Nandani ki koi chinta nahi hai kyunki tum dono usse apni beti ki tarah pyaar karte ho.

Nyo: Maa....woh hamari beti hi hai.

Amms: Jaanti hun Nyo....  isiliye tum dono se ye baat share kar rahi hun. Mujhse zyaada haq tumhara hai uspar. (She gets a bit serious) Beta...Nandani ab 24 years ki ho gayi hai. Aaiyappa k aashirwad se woh ek successful doctor bhi ban gayi hai....mujhe lagta hai ab sahi samay aagaya hai ki hum uski shaadi k baare mein sochen. (Nyo looks at Raj) Maine uske liye ek ladka bhi pasand kar liya hai aur mujhe tumse usike baare mein baat karni hai.

Raj: Maa....kaun hai woh? Kya hum use jaante hain?

Amms: Jaante toh ho.... par puri tarah se nahi.

Nyo: Matlab...

Amms: Pt. Trilok Chaurasiya. Tum dono toh usse mil hi chuke ho...(Raj n Nyo look at each other) Woh bahut hi acha ladka hai....mera student reh chuka hai. Nandani ki tarah uske bhi parents nahi hain....lekin woh bahut hi sanskaari, samajhdaar aur suljha hua ladka hai. Classical music mein uska bahut naam hai. Mujhe yakin hai Nandani uske saath bahut khush rahegi. Mujhe lagta hai Trilok ko bhi Nandani pasand hai...tumne dekha nahi aaj woh kaise Nandani se baat karne ki koshish kar raha tha. (She looked at them) Tumhe kaisa laga Trilok?

Raj: Haan....woh...acha hai....aapne pasand kiya hai toh kuch soch kar hi kiya hoga.

Nyo didn't say anything. She was in her own thoughts.

Amms: Nyo....kya hua....kya tumhe Trilok pasand nahi hai.

Nyo: Nahi maa (she came out of thoughts) pasand hai....lekin aapko nahi lagta ki humme Nandani se pehle is baare mein puch lena chahiye.

Amms: Yahi baat toh mein tumse karna chahti thi. Mujhe pata hai ki mein agar Nandani se kahungi toh woh naa hi bolegi. Mein chahti hun ki Nandani Trilok se mile....uske saath thoda waqt guzare. Mujhe yakin hai usse Trilok zaroor pasand aayega. Lekin ismein tum dono ko meri help karni padegi woh bhi Nandani ko bina bataye.

Nyo: Woh kaise?

Amms: Trilok kuch dino k liye Mumbai aane wala hai...uska workshop hai wahan par. Bas mein chahti hun ki tum un dono ko kaise bhi.....kisi bhi bahane milwane ki koshish karo. Nandani tum dono ka kehna kabhi nahi talegi. Tum dono karoge na meri help.

Raj: Haan Maa....kyun nahi. (He looked at Nyo n blinked his eyes)

Nyo: Thik hai maa....par final decision Nandani ka hi hoga....Hum usse kisi bhi rishte k liye force nahi karenge.

Amms happily nodded.

It was around 9:10 when Nandani came back home. She was very happy. After all she has finally found the love of her life.

Amms: Kanna....aagayi tum

She hugged the trio one by one.

Amms: Looking happy.....pata chala kaunsi friend ne parcel bheja tha.
