Thanks for postin soo soon tiny...Awww..They met..Did sumthin happen to Madho Solanki???? Plzz continue soon..

Raj. Raj Mahiyavanshi…..

How do you know it has been set by you? Asked Deep

I did not set it, but it does belong to our workshop…..Our emblem should be at the clasp but then you can ask your father, he is sitting there….

Deep turned then cried out Bhaiyya bhaiyya jaldi ayo, PAPA…. PAPA….

++++

Through the glass walls she looked inside, they fixed several tubes on him...it was only yesterday he was tickling her, before she retired for night, then asked her to sing his favourite bhajan, Deep could see tears rolling down his eyes.....in a few days time you will leave this house and I will only have to hear the recordings...

Papa I am going to stay in Ahmedabad, every day we will meet so why are you behaving in this manner

Not everyday, Shekhar is dreaming big, I can see you moving to Mumbai very soon.....

What is wrong in that Papa...

Nothing beta, except I somehow feel Shekhar is not as dedicated as I would have loved him to be.....and you have to struggle a lot

You and mom too struggled a lot in your life...

Yes beta we did but then ....he sighed...beta I have seen bad days and as father I wish the best for my children....

Deep kept quiet....

Dekh beta I know you felt bad, but then Gauri has a point, with recession setting in and gold prices going up, people are not buying....Hiten wants to diversify...till then if Gauri runs this B&B what is wrong?

Deep peered through the glass, was he really so worried to fall sick suddenly....she heard voices turned to see Raj standing with his hand on Hiten's shoulders comforting him, this man was unusually level headed when they realised their father is sick, both Hiten and Deep did not know what to do, Raj took over charge, with the help of gathered people put her father in his car and drove them to the hospital. Why does it always happen to me, when I was about to appear for my first major show, my mother died and as I was about to get engaged my father fell sick.....where is Shekhar, she looked around to see him standing and having coffee with two of his friends...engrossed in a conversation.....

++++

Deep opened her eyes to see Gauri standing in front of her with a steaming cup of coffee and dhokla....

Yesterday night Hiten and Deep both refused to return home, choosing to stay outside the ICU...suddenly Deep felt very close to Hiten, like the time when their mother died suddenly leaving three of them at a loss till Hiten married Gauri.

Deep sipped the coffee, looked for Hiten to be told he has gone home to bring some papers, old reports of their father etc....

Bhabi...Deep hesitated a bit, I...matlab I did not like the idea of my room which had Ma's touches being converted initially but I guess you have to be practical....the thought I will no longer have a room of my own in the house does hurt lekin keya kare, times are hard...Deep swallowed.....looking up to see Raj mahiyavanshi speaking to a doctor and entering the ICU with him, Deep jumped up, ran upto them....Raj looked at her....

It is ok, you just wait, I am with the Doctor while he checks Mr Solanki up....he went in closing the door behind him, the nurse pulled the curtains closed over the glass wall thus preventing Deep to see what they were doing inside….

Deep's ears became hot, anger shot up, who the hell he is, my father is being checked and I have no right to be present….where is Hiten Bhai bhabi, when will he come….

Deep take your seat, he is only trying to help….

But he is my father…tears sprang into her eyes….

Precisely that is the reason…Gauri patted her back…..just then Hiten came with a bunch of papers to be directed by Gauri to go inside…..

++++++++

What seemed like after ages, Raj came out with the Doctor, he is doing fine, the doctor assured them, he had a minor attack due to over stress, needs to stay here for sometime, a week atleast. Later when he goes home, I would suggest he should take it easy for sometime…aap Mrs Solanki hai, the doctor turned towards Gauri…

Ji,

OK you come with me, I am sending for the hospital dietician too, he needs special diet, lets brief you on it and yes, aap andar ja sakti hai, he is awake, you can speak but briefly, he directed Deep…..

As Gauri left with the doctor, Deep ensured Raj did not follow her but he was taking out his mobile and walking down the corridor…

++++

Mai lagna karu chhu, Pinakin….he said over the phone as Pinakin answered the phone….

Kyu….mere matlab…achanak….

Kyu matlab kya Pinakin aur achanak mane….ladki pasand a gayi toh der kis baat ki….

Theek chhe theek chhe Motabhai, toh ladki keya woh heerawali hai ?…

Hmmm

+++++
