'Kaise mujhe tum mil gayi, kismat pe aaye na yakin
utar aayi jheel mein, jaise chaand utarata hai kabhi
houle haule, dheere se
gunguni dhup ki tarah se tarnnum main tum
chhuke mujhe gujari ho yu
dekhu tumhe, ya main sunu
tum ho sukun, tum ho junun
kyun pehle na aayi tum
kaise mujhe tum mil gayi, kismat pe aaye na yakin...{Ghajini}.
Karvachauth day..That was the most significant day in their love story.
That is when Sumeet proposed to her.Kumkum and Sumeet loved each other.But they
never confessed to each other even though they were aware of each other's
feelings.
The karvachauth night was in full swing.Sumeet and Kumkum fasted for each other
even before they confessed their love to each other.Sumeet and Kumkum realized
that the other person is fasting.
Kumkum asked Sumeet,
"Sumeet,why did'nt you eat anything?Are you fasting for
anyone?".
He smiled quietly.
"Kumkum...first you tell me why did you fast?"
She blushed silently.
Sumit asked cutely,
"Kumkum...are you fasting for me".
Kumkum raised her eye brows and looked at him.
Sumeet smiled looking deeply at her eyes.
"Kumkum...I love you".
She blushed.She did'nt take much time to answer .
"I love you too Sumeet".
They both could not express their happiness due to over excitement.
Kumkum looked viewed the moon first
and then Sumeet's face through the sieve.
Sumeet fed her morsels.
Kumkum broke his fast too.
Unexpectedly he
pulled her towards him.
"Sumeet..what are you doing?People will see".
Kumkum was nervous.
"I'm not bothered.Let others see our love.Well..you look very ravishing in
this traditional Indian dress.You look very pretty ".
She blushes.
Like she feared,everyone saw their open romance.They stared at them.But nothing
stopped Sumeet.
"I love Kumkum.I want to marry her".
He did'nt hesitate to tell it openly.
Surprisingly things moved smooth.Nobody went against their wish.Everyone
blessed them.Sumeet-Kumkum got married.
After marriage it is their first karvachauth. Sumeet showed
the shiny moon to Kumkum.
"Kumkum..see the shiny bright moon.The moon is witnessing our love".
She smiles,"I also feel that the beautiful moon is watching our
romance".
Sumeet looked deeply into her face.
"The moon is thinking how beautiful you are.You are beautiful like this
moon".
She blushed.
Sumeet sang for her,
"Chand Chupa Badal Mein, Sharma Ke Meri Jaana ,
Seene Se Lag Ja Tu, Bal kha Ke Meri Jaana,
Gumsum Sa Hai, Gupchup Sa Hai
Madhosh Hai,Khamosh Hai,
Haan Ye Sama, Haan Ye Sama Kuch Aur Hai,
Han Han Han Chand Chupa..."{Hum Dil De Chuke Sanam}.
Kumkum is mesmerised by his sweet music.
They broke each other's fast.
They did'nt know that their dreams are going to shatter very easily.
After the Karvachauth function,Kumkum stepped out of the area only to put her
life in danger.The fate stored something terrible for her.A lorry hit her car. But
she remained in the ventilator.Sumeet's prayers and tears saved Kumkum's
life.But their misery continued.Kumkum was not same anymore.She had lost her
eye sight.The most attractive part of her has left her forever.Her glittering
eyes lost life.
Sumeet's tears fell on her.She burst into tears.
"Sumeet...please go away.Don't shed tears for me.Don't waste your life for
a blind girl".
Her heart was bleeding while saying this.
"Kumkum...how could you think that i can leave you.I love you.I will love
you forever.I can't leave you like that".
Kumkum's eyes seemed to be an ocean because of the tears.
"What are you saying Sumeet?I can't see anything.I have no eyes".
"Don't say like that.You have eyes.My eyes are for you.You have eyesight.You
can see things through my eyes.I have no right on my eyes.My eyes are your
eyes.Now onwards my eyes are not just my eyes,but our eyes".
Kumkum bursts into tears again.Sumeet caressed her.She rested her head on his
chest.
