DarShan- More Than A Name❤️

Khichdi

The next morning...

9

am..

Shanaya's phone rang..

(S): "Yaar alarm to maine nahi lagaya tha kal.. Phir aaj ye kaun tang kar raha hai mujhe? Ek din bhi chain nahi hai na!! Kal hi to exams khatam hue hain... Sone bhi nahi deta koi..."

The phone stopped ringing and Shanaya went back to sleep... A few minutes later she heard some sound which disturbed her sleep...

"Bin kahe sab sun leta hai mera yaar...
Dard se khushiyaan chun leta hai mer yaar...
Duniya se woh lad jaata hai mere liye...
Lekin mujhse haar jaata hai mera yaar...."

In sub-conscious state of mind, she felt so calm and peaceful that the frowning face got converted into the one with a sweet faint smile...As if she was in heaven... When suddenly she saw Kirti sitting next to her...

(S): "Are Kitu tu? Aa gyi phirse meri neend kharaab karne!! Jaa yahan se... Mujhe tujhse baat nahi karni..."

(K): "To kya karti main? Na kal school me baat ki, shaam ko call kiya to tune phone uthaya nahi... Main darr gayi na.. Aur wo kal ke liye sorry.. Mera intention tujhe hurt karne ka nahi tha... Sorry na... Wese kal tu kuchh bata rahi thi mujhe... Bata na main sun rahi hu ab...Chal bata..."

(S): "Abe ye sorry sorry kya laga rakha hai?? Best friends sorry nahi bolte kabhi... Wo to kal Rohan ki baat sunkar mera mood off tha...To jaldi so gayi main... Aur haan, baat jo tujhe batani hai, wo tu chaahe ya na chaahe sunni to padegi..."

(K): "Baap re!! Bhagwan bachaye terese to...Pagal hai tu... Aur dekho to zara maha rani ko... Kal jaldi so gayi thi aur abhi bhi keh rahi hai sone do.... Uth jaa ab uth jaa aalsi... Hahaha..."

(S): "Haan bas ek min ruk main fresh hokar aati hoon...Phir aaram se baat karte hain..."

Shanaya took her white t-shirt and blue jeans from her cupboard and went to the bathroom....

After 20 minutes...

(K): "Oye pagal nikal na...Andar hi so gayi kya??"

Wiping her wet hairs with a towel, Shanaya came out running... With great excitement she said...

(S): "Aa gayi baba... Aa gayi... Itni kyu ghai kar rahi hai... Haan to main keh rahi thi mujhe da..."

Shanaya's mother called them....

(M): "Shona, Kitu ko leke aa jaa...Nasta ready hai..."

(S): "Aayi maa...." To herself "Inko bhi abhi hi bulana hai..."

They went down and sat on the dining table when mom served them hot tasty noodles...

(S): "Wow maa... Mere favourite noodles!! Aapko sab pata hota hai na... Love you..."

(M): "Noodles banaye hain abhi... Par lunch me khichdi hai... Chalega na?"

(S): "Haan maa, bilkul chalega... Khichdi toh mere favourite hai.... hahahaha"

Meanwhile Kitu was just listening to their conversation..
When she gave her a '
What-are-you-saying look... Because Shanaya hated Khichdi... And suddenly she told Khichdi meri favourite hai...

(S): "Kitu tu kahan kho gayi??"

(K): "Are...nahi bas wo.. wo main soch rahi thi... Tujhe kabse khichdi pasand aane lagi??"

(S): "Bas kal se hi... Wo Darshan ko pasand hai na!!"

(K): "D... Da.. Darshan? Kaun Darshan? Tune kabhi bataya nahi iske bare me.. Senior hai? Achchha dikhta hai? Konse school me padhta hai? Surname kya hai uski? Usne tujhe propose kiya ya tune usko? Kabse jaante ho tum ek dusre ko? Bataaaaaaa...."

Kirti said this very fast... Very eagerly....

(S): "Abe itne sawaal to exam me bhi nahi poochhe jaate... Kal sun leti to pata chal jaata na... Darshan Raval..."

(K): "Haain???"

She gave a strange look...

"Konse Chaval??"

(S): "Shut up Kitu... Enough is enough!!"

After 2 long years, when everything was almost over after Rohan, it was the first time Kitu saw this rage on her face... She was happy to see Shona move on...

(K): "Are baba maine to yunhi keh diya... Sorry na..."

(S): "Aaj chhod rahi hoon... Next time uske bare me bolne ki koshish bhi mat karna! Tu Darshan Raval ko nahi jaanti?? Abe pagal... Subah ko jo gaana chalaya tune mujhe manane ke liye wo uska hi to hai!! Yaara teri yaari!! Shukhar kar Darshan ka main maan gayi..."

Both stare at each other for a while and burst out laughing... They spent good time together and in an hour Kirti left for her home...

It was 2noon, when mother called upon Shanaya for lunch..

(M): "Beta aa jaa... Khichdi Paros di hai maine..."

(S): "Haanji mummy ji... Bas ek minute me aayi"

Shanaya ran down the stairs...

(M): "Are beta, dheere aa... Lag jaayegi!"

(S): "Ab Darshan ke pyaar se zyada aur kya lag sakta hai mujhe?" She murmured...

(M): "Kuchh kaha kya tune??"

(S): "Nahi nahi maa... Wo to bas yahi keh rahi thi ki next time dhyaan dungi..." She said in a low voice...

(M): "Achchha wese ye Kitu aur tu koi Darshan ke bare me baat kar rahe the!! Kaun hai ye Darshan... Maine naam to nahi suna iska aaj tak..... Ya tujhe pareshan kar raha hai... Agar Kitu ki baat hai to bhi tu mujhe bata sakti hai... Main bhi to uski maa jesi hoon... Tu bol to papa ko kahun is bare mein main??"

(S): "Are maa aapko koi baat samajh me nahi aati hai kya? Kabse kuchh bhi bole jaa rahe ho... Sun toh lo pehle kya baat hai... Main bas pasand karti hoon usko... Singer hai wo... Celebrity hai.... Ye Kitu bas kuchh bhi bole jaa rahi thi... To danat diya usko maine... Aur rahi baat pareshan karne ki... To Darshan kare ya na kare... Aap aur Kitu to karne lage ho pareshan mujhe...."

(M): "Dekh beta, ye fan- wan tak theek hai... In baaton me beh mat jaana... Tu samajh rahi hai na main kya keh rahi hoon..."

(S): "Are haan maa, usse to ab tak mili bhi nahi main... Aap to kahan kahan tak soch lete ho..."
Laughs...
