"Mene kaha na mujhe abhi shaadi nahi karni.."
An angry monami said to her parents.

Mo: Mumma..papa.. Dekho.. Jab tak mujhe koi meri pasand ka ladka nahi miljaata.. I wont marry.. And thats final.

Juhi (monu's mom): 7 ladko ko to reject karchuki hai.. Tujhe to koi pasand nahi aata.. Ab kya zindagi bhar kuanri bethegi?

Deepak(monu's dad): Aur nahi to kya.. Monu.. Bacha tumne kaha isiliye tumhein humne army doctor ban ne diya.. Tumhein support kiya.. Ab ek baar hamari baat bhi sunlo..

Mo: Arre par kyun karun me shaadi.. Jo log mere kaam ko nahi samajh sakte... Me unka ghar parivaar rishte naate kyun samjhun?

She said this refering to the 7 proposals she had rejected.

Mo: Aur zindagi bhar kuanri rahungi to bhi kaunsa pahaad tut jaayega.. I will proudly serve my country my whole life...

She said this with a proud and determined look on her face..

Juhi: Hum jaante hain monu.. Par tere maa baap hone ke naate yeh hamara farz hai.. Achha dekh.. Tu na yeh aakhri ladke se mil le.. I am sure tujhe yeh pasand aayega.. Me jaanti hoon isse.. Achhe se.. Wo khud ek commando hai..

Deepak: Monu.. Mumma sahi kehrahi.. Arre mene bhi bohut suna hai uske baare me.. Ek baar mil le.. Agar yeh bhi tumhein pasand nahi aaya.. To tum jo bologi hum wahi karenge.. Tumhein shaadi ke liye kabhi force nahi karenge..

Monu was going to deny but juhi spoke...

Juhi: Achha bacha apne liye nahi. Kamse kam ek baar hamare liye hi dekhle.. Please...

Monu couldn't deny anymore. She unwillingly agreed. Deepak and juhi were happy.

Deepak: To kal ready rehna.. Wo log kal hi aarahe..

Monu agreed and went to her room..

......................................................................

"Maa, kyun kisi ladki ki zindagi kharab karrahe ho.. Me commando hoon.. Aaj hoon kal nahi.. Usse time bhi nahi depaaunga.. Mujhe nahi karni shaadi"

Karan was least interested in talkimg about his marriage.. He believed that being a soldier's wife, though is, a matter of pride but not everyone have that power to handle themselves in those hard situations... Kyunki ek fauji ke upar maut ka khatara hamesha rehta hai😢

Kashish(karan's mom): Aye nalayak.. Ek chaanta lagaungi na.. Dekhna... Jab dekho marne ki baat.. Maana tu commando hai.. Par aise baatein apni maa ke saamne to mat kar..

Karan: Maa... (he hugged her) See.. Aap hi itne emotional horahe ho.. Aapko lagta hai kya ki koi aur ladki itna rona chahegi... Mat karwaao na shaadi.. Mana kardo papa se😩😩

Sooraj: Kaun kyun mana karraha hai?

Karan: Shaitaan ka naam liya.. Shaitaan haazir..

Kashish: ayee. Papa hai tere..

Karan: Galat.. Buddy hai mere..
And he went and hugged his dad..

Sooraj: Hogaya beta ji.. Laga diya maska.. Aur sun.. Shaadi se mana karne ka to soch hi mat

Karan: Papa😩😩

Sooraj: Karan😤 problem kya hai lekin shaadi se?

Karan: Dekho.. Me shaadi se mana nahi karraha... Par i want ki me jis se shaadi karun wo sirf mujhe aur aapko nahi.. Balki mere kaam ko bhi samjhe.. Shaadi us se karni hai jo mere commando hone pe garv kare.. Jisse meri priorities ka khyaal ho.. Aur aisi ladki

Sooraj+kashish: Hai... Aisi ladki hai

Karan was like : Hein?😐

Sooraj: Beta ji.. Hamare nazar me aisi hi ladki hai.. Jis se hum kal milne jaane ki baat karrahe..

Kashish: Karan, Ladki bohut achhi hai.. Aur army doctor hai.. Tere priorities ko, teri duty ko samjhegi bhi.. Ek baar mil le us se..

Karan: (in mind) Inke paas kya har problem ki solution hai.. Arre shaadi nahi karunga to kaunsa pahad tut jaayega😩

Karan: Maa papa par...

Sooraj: Dekh beta.. Ek baar.. Please sirf ek baar humare kehne pe mil le... Agar tujhe ladki pasand nahi aayi to hum tab tak tujhe shaadi ke liye nahi kahenge jabtak tu naa chahe..

Having no other option, Karan unwillingly agreed and went to his room..

Moran: (in mind) Kal kaise bhi karke mana karwadungi/karwadunga...

......................................................................

Next day,

At the Mahajans

Sooraj, Kashish and Karan reached at around 9am. Karan bent down to take the blessings of Deepak and Juhi.. Both were touched with this.

After some chit chatting, juhi went to monami's room to bring her downstairs. Karan and monami were nervous as well as not interested in marriage..

Monami came downstairs. Moran saw each other and were shocked.

Moran: Arre aap😶

The mahajans and shergils : Tum jaante ho ekdusre ko?

Mo: Wo pichhle mahine me jahan medical support ke liye gayi thi... Wahin pe mili thi inse... Special agent Karan shergil, right?

Ka: Ji.. Me wahin mission head karraha tha.. And medical team ko aap head karrahi thi.. Dr.Monami mahajan... Nice to meet you again..

Kashish: Chalo yeh to achhi baat hai.. Tumdono ek dusre ko jaante ho.. To baat karne me awkwardness bhi nahi hogi..

Juhi: Tumdono jaao.. Garden me baat karlo ekdusre se..

Moran nodded and went. They both were silent. Then suddenly both spoke,

Moran: Wo.

They looked at each other and smiled.

Moran: Pehle aap boldijiye

Again!😝

Finally monu spoke..

Mo: Bohut suna hai aapke baare me.. Desh ke liye aapki duty and passion.. Its quite commendable. Aur uss mission me aapka josh aur aapka dedication dekhke to yakeen hogaya ki mene aapke baare me jo suna wo galat nahi tha..

Karan could sense the pride she had when she spoke those words for him.. He felt really proud on her..

Karan: Even u are no less. Mene bhi bohut suna hai aapke baare me.. Puri force me aapke selfless nature, bravery and honesty ke kisse famous hai. I admire your work a lot.

Monami felt the warm approach in his words.. She knew that Karan would never expect her to leave her job or stop her from serving her country..

After a lot of endless talk, they both went inside.. The elders were eagerly waiting for their answer..

Deepak: (to karan) To beta.. Tumhein monami pasand hai? Shaadi karoge hamari beti se?

Sooraj: (to monu) Aur monami... Beta tumhein pasand hai karan? Hamare ghar ki bahu ban na pasand karogi?

Moran were quiet for sometime.. Both were thinking the same thing...

Moran:(in mind) Itni der baat to ki.. Par abhi bhi ek sawaal hai.. Jawaab to pata hai.. Par phir bhi ek baar confirm... Nahi.. Agar inhe bura laga to.... Arre par zindagi bhar agar saath nibhana hai.. To confusion clear karna chahiye.. Puchh hi leti/leta hoon..

Moran: MUJHE BAS EK AUR SAWAAL PUCHHNA HAI...
