Vasundhara : Prem Ki Nai Dastan
1.
At the temple of the reclining Hanuman ji in Allahabad
A girl with folded hands is speaking in a complaining manner, her voice carrying a mix of frustration and hope
...........
Look, Hanuman ji, you have to help me this time. I have asked you for a small job, and that too for just 30 or 35 thousand rupees, but you don't listen at all.
...........
Well, why would you listen? You just keep lying down and get 'laddus' as offerings, but you don't bring any job appointment letter. I am not asking you to bring Sanjeevani herb.
...........
I asked for a small job, but no… it seems I will have to complain to Ram ji about you(in her own rhythm with folded hands with a faint pout on her face.)
Just then, the Pandit ji there calls out to her.
Pandit ji
Vasundhara beta , here is your prasad.
Pandit ji
By the way, did you get a job anywhere? (said while handing the sweet box to Vasundhara with a gentle smile)
Vasundhara(fl)
pandit ji… that's what I'm trying for, but only if they support me.(while pointing towards the reclining Hanuman ji, her tone half-playful, half-disappointed)
Pandit ji
Everything will be fine. Have faith in them.(said with a gentle smile)
Vasundhara joined her hands and came out of the temple, though a slight heaviness still lingered in her heart. She stood and looked at the entire Sangam once, quietly taking it in, and then turned her head away.
Standing and looking from the temple of the reclining Hanuman, the entire Sangam is visible. The far-spread Ganges river and Akbar's fort can also be seen in the distance, standing still like silent witnesses of time.
While coming out of the temple of the reclining Hanuman ji, there are many shops lined up. You will never find silence here; yes, but you will definitely find peace of mind. And during the days of Kumbh, the view of the Sangam is worth seeing. It seems as if the moonlight itself has descended upon the earth. It is also said that the city of lamps is settled here.
Vasundhara was coming out with her bag. Due to the crowd, she was able to walk only a little slowly, adjusting her steps carefully. It was Kartik Purnima, so the number of people bathing was very high.
When Vasundhara came out, she took an e-rickshaw and sat in it, gathering her dupatta neatly around herself.
Rikshaw wala
Where do you want to go, Madam?
Vasundhara(fl)
To Katra(said while her mind still wandering somewhere else)
And the rickshaw started moving on the roads of Allahabad.
Vasundhara was sitting in the e-rickshaw, quietly looking at the roads of Allahabad. She reached Katra Market via Allahabad University, got off the rickshaw, paid him, and moved on.
Here, she worked as a nurse in a small clinic. Vasundhara had studied nursing and was looking for a good job, hoping for something better.
In her family, she only had her aunt to call her own, and her aunt's daughter Rachna. Her uncle was there, but he didn't like Vasundhara. He would taunt her at every turn, and her aunt's love worked like an ointment for those taunts. Vasundhara would forget everything in Rachna's mischief and smile again.
She walked through Katra Market, passing by Netiram shop, and came into a lane where Gulati Clinic was located. It was a small clinic, but it ran very well because it was the only clinic in that market.
Doctor
Has Vasundhara arrived?(asked sitting in the cabin)
Receptionist
Yes, Doctor sahib."
Vasundhara(fl)
Sorry, I'm late today. I'll quickly get to work .
Vasundhara(fl)
(Put down her bag, gathered her hair, and made a bun, trying to slip into her routine)
Receptionist
Hmm… hurry up
Vasundhara(fl)
(Brought all the patients' files)
It was 10 o'clock when patients started arriving.
Random person
Excuse me, I had an appointment today.
Receptionist
(Looked at him and gestured for him to go inside.)
The boy went into the doctor's cabin. The Doctor sahib talked to him and then called out to Vasundhara.
Vasundhara also got busy with her work, unaware that this ordinary day might not remain so ordinary.
That's it for today guyzz 😋
