"The quarrels of lovers are the renewal of love."
Krishna is thrashing on the bed restless, his peaceful sleep disturbed by bright light falling on his face ..he tries to find the reason for the illuminated light and his searching eyes rests on the thoughtful Pratigya sewing her sari [At night,when ghosts walk 😲]..Krishna stares at her and her activity for a few seconds * realises that she has not gone off the rocker,so safe to talk*..Krishna "Arrrey o !! White complexioned Tailor ,Come and sleep *Understand Pratigya, Poor Baba is feling cold,needs warmth* Pratigya knits her brows and replies seriously "Krishna , Am not sleepy..so I thought Let me complete the pending work,U don't get flustered..U go to sleep..Pratigya continues stitching ,Krishna looks inclined to accept this advice..but his conscience does not allow him to sleep , After an imperceptible pause, Krishna inquires"Tell me what is bothering you, what worm has entered ur brain that u are cogitating on that,in the middle of the night , stop ur riddles..and come here..why are u sitting so far ?? [So this was the asli muddha]..come sit by me,tell me ur worries ..Pratigya moves to comply with his suggestion , The ever alert Krishna tells Pratigya to place the Needle in a safe place,else may get pricked by it !! [Previous experience] Pratigya puts the saree on the chair and sits by Krishna..both snugly tucked into quilt resume their convo..Krishna again asks "whats the matter?" Pratigya goes into meenakumari mode and replies "Krishna ,I was thinking about Papa [Kyun aur koi mila nahi kya? ]How will he bear all the expenditure,,Adarsh's Hospital bills [I thought there was such a thing as Insurance, Medi-claim],Aarushi's Marriage expenditure..I dunno how he will manage all this..I always wanted to help my father but"..Krishna intercepts "Just this,,and U are worrying ur prettyhead over this..had u informed me..I would have helped ...I will help FIL..dont worry" Pratigya "U will help,but How ?" Krishna "what do mean ,? How?" ..Pratigya patiently " How will u provide for such a huge amount ? Krishna "I will ask Bauji"..Pratigya veto's this suggestion ...[Lagtha hai Krishna has not taken Mentos] ...Krishna plods on "Arrey am taking from my own father and not from the neighbor" {Baba,Pratigya would have preferred neighbor's loan over ur bauji's charity}..Money taken from me or from bauji..there is no difference"..Pratigya quips"not the same,there is a difference"..Krishna is getting heated ,he heatedly rejoins "what's the difference ?tell me "..Pratigya knows that opening this box will lead to jagran..so she calmly tells"Leave all this matter,go to sleep"{that is like waving a red rag in front of a Bull} * aur Krishna tho saand hai, tho he is preparing for the charge *..Pratigya moves to switch off the light and is halted by Krishna's stubborn words "First state to me ,that while I want to help u in ur hour of need...why are u refusing to take my help?" Pratigya retorts "I will take ur help,when u earn it and the money is from ur earning"..Krishna is hit by a thunderbolt * Baba can shoot,can drink poison,can slit his wrist ...but if there is one thing that terrifies him,,it is K.A.A.M.*..He gets defensive ,riposte's "U always put forth many conditions' but People they are fooled into thinking that I am the stubborn fool..Ok..Borrow from whomsoever you want". so saying ..he covers himself turns away from her and lies down ..Pratigya looks at him with a hint of smile,shakes her head at his childishness,switches off the lights ,gives a quick glance at the simmering Krishna and lies down on her side and prepares to sleep..
The quarrels of lovers are like summer storms. Everything is more beautiful when they have passed.
Here our miffed Krishna who is lying petulantly waiting for his wife to sooth him is chagrined to find his meherau sleeping peacefully by his side..Unable to believe the callousness of his wife , he gets up turns towards her and in a disbelieving and outraged voice continues "Tell me one thing, If I go to sleep in anger, u will not try to mollify me out of my bad mood * How?? Baba * .Pratigya beams in delight ..Krishna continues huffily "Bolbo, Are u listening to me .. or am I just running off at the mouth ??"" Pratigya is grinning widely but is still silent..An exasperated Krishna give a puzzled glare at her impassive back..leans over to have a look at his beebi and discover;s her beaming in pure unadulterated glee...He turns her over ,and is confronted by her smiling face ,which teases out a smile from his countenance...Krishna promises punishment to her for fooling him..and proceeds to give a pleasurable Punishment ..

Next Morning...
Pratigya is buttoning up Krishna's shirt * It's a rocket science, Na..cant trust Krishna to get it right*..and is straightening his collar..but Krishna finds it hot and unbuttons his button ..Pratigya looks at the unbuttoned shirt and plaintively asks "what have u done ?" Krishna is puzzled "Me !What have I done ??" ..Pratigya buttons him up again ...and also straightens out his collar ..Pratigya orders him not to touch the button's or the collar again..responding to the authority..Krishna straightens his shoulder's, stands straight like a boy scout and nods his head in acceptance...A displeased Pratigya begins to walk away from Krishna..but her arms are caught by Krishna ,is pulled back in an embrace ...As usual Pratigya goes chodo,chodo and not meaning it at all..while Krishna goes "what happened ,?"..Into this interesting scene walks Kesar ...who is overcome by a fit of blushes !! Startled for a second..both Krishna and Pratigya draw apart ..and Pratigya goes forward to talk to her Didi..but our besharm Krishna pulls her back again and hold her captive in his hug ...The embarrassed Kesar hiding inside her pallu inquires Adarsh's Health ..while Krishna is busy smooching Pratigya ...and Pratigya is torn between enjoying the kiss and having to answer Kesar Didi ...She somehow manages to breathe out that Adarsh is alright ..Having observed the formality Kesar quickly escapes from the room ...while Pratigya calls after her..Krishna "Lo,ur didi has gone " in tones of intense satisfaction..Pratigya does not want any more embarrassment and tells Krishna to let go her ..Krishna does so ..Pratigya gets on her high horse and starts haranguing Krishna"You are too much krishna,see Didi has gone ...will people ever do that, U are very naughty " * As if we did not know *..Krishna cajoles her saying "Don't scold me , Hun..I am ur poor Hubby " Pratigya sarcastically "Is it so " ..Krishna very neatly turning the tables on pratigya accuses her of delaying him from his work [??????],stalk out..while Pratigya watches his back wondering at the injustice of it all ..
Marriage is not a ritual or an end.
It is a long, intricate,
intimate dance together
and nothing matters more
than your own sense of balance
and your choice of partner
