CoS 46- MOONLIGHT DINNER
The wait was over and I
was to go to meet my ancestors for the last time and I would never know the
rest of their love life or any thing. That was the last time. I was left in the
wonder, warrior and love world.
The next morning was a
hustle-bustle one. Ajabde got ready for her fast. She did her pooja and got
ready in her wedding clothes as instructed. She went to the kitchen and made
some Kheer for Pratap as told. Phool too came and made ghewar for Shakti. Both
together went together to the temple where many had already gathered. They sat
on their place as instructed.
Soon all the gents also
joined. They went and sat beside their bride. It was evening by then all were
waiting for the fast to break. The prayers were chanted and all of us went to
the temple to break the fast.
After reaching there suddenly
a Bhill lady exclaimed.
Arey Kunwaranisa aur choti Kunwaranisa aap dono ne sindoor
nahi lagaya hai
Jayiye laga kar ayiye na
Nahi nahi…dono yahi rukiye…Kunwarsa, chote Kunwarsa aap hi
unke maag mein sindoor bar dijiye…
Ji
Bariye jaldi..
Ji
They did as instructed.
Now were were surely husband and wife.
Baisa, aap dono ne yeh kya kiya…
Sindoor nahi lagaya…
Accha hua ki isne dekh liya aur keh diya… warna anarth ho
jata
Kshama kijiyega…hum dono ki abhi toh vivaah hua hai aur hume
yeh sab kehne wala bhi toh nahi hai…isliye bul ho gayi
Thik hai baisa…
Aap yeh na kahe ki apko batane wala koi nahi hai…hum sab hai
apke liye..
Ji dhanyawad…
After the break of fast
in which the men fed the women the food prepared by the women and then ate the
rest, the happily married couple went to Meera maa’s temple the next day to get
blessing from their mothers.
Rani Jaiwanta Bai and
Rani Sajja Bai had gathered there knowing one day their son’s would come one
day to meet them. They waited eagerly to meet them. Rani Dheer Bai did not come
believing that the two were dead.
Their luck was good.
Their wait was fruitful and their son’s had come but with their
daughter-in-law.
Pranam Ranimaa
Pranam Manjhali maa
Pranam Badimaa
Pranam Maa
Aap dono akir kaar aa gaye aur sath mein humari bahu ko bhi
laye hai…
Haan maa…
Humara vivaah Bhillo ne karwa diya…
Thik hai
Hume ashirwad dijiye ranimaa, manjhali maa…
Sada Saubhagyawati bhava
Sada aayushmaan bhava
Both the elders blessed
their children and the children returned back to their huts.
Near the lake,
Ajab….
Hmm
Ajab, ab hum pati-patni hai…aur ab hume humara sapna purn
karna hoga
Haan…
Aur Ajab aap hume vachan dijiye ki aap humse aisa hi hamesha
prem karenge
Kunwar Pratap humne vachan diya….
Aap vachan dijiye ki aap kabhi bhi hume akela nahi chodenge…
Kabhi nahi…mru…
Nahi…bilkul nahi…
Aise baate nahi karte…
Ajabde rests her head
on his shoulder and he carcasses her. Both spend their time under the moonlight
under the nature’s vision. They have their dinner and sleep there.
I was brought back to
my world. The last time to visit the book was done. I was parted from a part of
my life. It had become a part of my life.
