Radha was sitting with her friends in aangan. They were all busy in making plans about wedding. Suddenly a small grass hopper came near to lalita and she shouted with fear...
Lalita-Bachao, Radha isse hatao yaha se... Yeh kitni bhayanak hai.. Mujhe isse bohot darr lagta hai..
Radha and friends laughed seeing her getting scared with such a small creature.
Radha-Lalita tum itne chote se keet(insect) se darr gayi...
Sulochna(a friend) : mein abhi isse maar deti hoon...
Sulochna was about to kill it but Radha stopped her in between...
Radha- Ruko Sulochna!!! Yeh kya kar rahi ho!! Iss maasoom jeev ka kya kasoor... Yeh nirdosh hai...
Radha took it in her hand and left it in garden..
Lalita- Prabhu.. Uss keet ko dekhkar maano mere toh praan hi nikal gaye.. Radha laughed again..
Lalita- Radha tumhe atayadhik hassi aa rahi hai... Kya tumhe bhay nahi lagta kisi vastu se...
Radha - Nahi toh.. Mein kisi chote keet se toh avashya nahi darti..
Lalita - Accha!! Toh Thik hai Aaj sooraj dhalne ke pashchaat barsane ke sima par jo haweli hai usme tum akele jaana hoga...
Radha - yeh kya keh rahi ho lalita...andhera hone ke baad agar hum ghar par nahi honge toh mata - pita chintit ho jayenge..
Lalita - Radha kon sa tumhe uss haweli mein raat bhar rahana hai.. Kuch samay aur phir bahar aa jana... Yaa phir tumhe darr lag raha hai akele jaane mein...
Radha- Nahi.. Mujhe kaisa bhay.. Main avashya jaungi..
Radha cursed herself from inside as she was scared from darkness yet she agreed to go to haweli
It was dark at night and Radha saw a dim light outside the window she was surprised to see it as the house was abandoned for years.. Suddenly a sense of fear and anxiety rushed inside her.. She asked for someone's presence but there was no reply.. Then suddenly a strong wind blew and lit off her lamp.. It was pitch dark.. She was scared and tried to run from that room but she felt that someone pulled the dress from behind.. She shouted and run screaming for help and banged with someone, she prepared herself to fight with whosoever he was.. But stopped when she saw krishna's face in moonlight coming from roshandan and spread her arms around him and hugged him in fear and anxiety. Krishna could not see Radha in such condition.. He placed his right hand on her head and tried to console her..
Krishna- Darne ki koi baat nahi Radha, main hoon na tumhaare saath..
Krishna looked towards the roshandaan and suddenly iintensity of moonlight increased.. The room was filled with sufficient light... Radha soon realized that she was in arms of krishna and get apart but the feeling of comfort and satisfaction she felt seems to be familiar to her.. Krishna's presence made her forget her fear and gave her new energy to overcome her fear.
Krishna-tum kisse darr gayi Radha..
Radha-vaha koi tha khidki ke paas aur kisi ne mera dupatta bhi khicha..
Krishna - sach mein!! Toh chalo dekhte hai kaun hai vaha par...
Krishna lit her lamp and asked her to lead..
Radha- nahi mujhe nahi jana.. Mujhe bhay lagta hai..
Krishna - Radha bhay mann ka aisa bhav hai jo koi bhi shaktishaali vyakti ko durbal bana sakta hai isliye is par niyantran lana atyant avashyak hai.. Jao main yahi hoon Radha
Radha went to see near the window and found a group of dragonflies glowing at night.. And even the dupatta was stuck in the branch of tree that came inside the room from a window. Radha was astonished..
Krishna came from behind
Krishna - yeh kya!! Radha kuch jugnu aur ek tehni se bhaybheet ho gayi
Krishna started laughing.. Seeing Radha's sad face he apologized from her.
Krishna- Radha jaldi chalo ghar main sab chintit hai tumhare liye..
Radha- haan... Chalo
While traveling in cart
Radha- tumhe kaise gyaat hua ki main yaha hoon.
Krishna - bas anubhuti hui..
Radha- kaisi anubhuti??
Krishna - kisi apne ke sankat main hone ki!!
Radha-kisi apne?? Arthat
Krishna was lost in her eyes but came back to real world when she asked him..
Krishna - haan kaki ko laga ki tum kahi kisi sankat main toh nahi.. Iss karan vash unhone mujhe tumhe doodne bheja.. Phir lalita ne mujhe bataya shart ke baare mein..
Radha- haan!! Parantu main toh haar gayi..
Krishna - nahi tum jeet gayi..kyoki tumne apne darr par vijay paa li..
