Soji OS: Soji's child

Rajji was sitting in her room in the bullar house alone staring at soham's picture. Parmeet comes in and asks her, "Tu teek hain rajji?" Rajji turns around and sees parmeet. "Haan, bas..soham ko bahut miss kar raha hum. Ek hafte ho chuki hain mein yaha aakar. Use ek bar dekne ke liye mann kar rahi hain" Parmeet after hearing this says, "Mujhe bhi bani ko dekne.." Parmeet realized what he was saying and stopped abrubtly. Rajji stared at parmeet as she understood parmeet was also missing bani. Parmeet continued, "Mein soch raha hum ki ham dono maan house mein ab chalte hain. Tu thayyar ho jao, ham abhi chalet hain." Rajji was so happy to hear this and she thanked parmeet whole heartedly. Parmeet replied, "koi baat nahi rajji. Tu meri bhai ki patni ho, tere liye jo kuch bi karna meri farz hain."

Rajji and Parmeet reached Maan house. Soham, bani and kukki were all sitting outside and chitchatting. When Soham saw them, he immediately got up and said, "Arey, parmeet aur rajji! Sasriyekaal. Aap log yahan?" parmeet replied," Rajji uski behan se bahut miss kar rahi thi, isiliye mein yahan leke aayi" Bani and kukki were happy to see rajji and ran to give her a hug. Soham looked at rajji and smiled. She smiled back. Same time, Parmeet looked at bani and gave an awkward smile, and she too returned another awkward smile. Soham told them both to sit down with them on the bench.

Soham said to rajji, "Rajji, tujhe teri pathi ke saat dekne bahut acha lag rahi hum" Everyone frowned hearing this. "Accha, kukki ne bataya ki tu pregnant hain. Bahut achi khabar hain...hamari family mein ek naya bacha aane wali hain na" Soham said. Rajji was surprised to hear this and she smiled with tears in her eyes because she saw that soham was happy. Bani suddenly said,"Acha soham, ham abhi bi kuch naam ke list banwaunga...meri behan maa banni wali hain aur mein chahti ki uski bacha ko bahut pyaari naam mile. Aapke paas koyi ideas hain?"

"Agar ladki hain to ham kiran naam dunga" Kukki chirped in. Soham said, "kiran? Wahi naam bahut sun liya" Bani told soham to think of a better name. She said to rajji, "tu bi bataona kuch naam soch liya tune?" Suddenly soham and rajji said together at the exact same time loudly, "Agar ladki hain to ham heer buladunga! "

Everyone was taken aback at their unity when they suggested the name...especially soham. He looked dumbfounded. "how could rajji think of the exact same name I thought? I have never heard anyone in our pind with name of heer...it's a beautiful and unique name and how could rajji even think of that name which only I thought? How could she like it too? How did we end up saying it together?" So many such thoughts were flooding soham's mind. He was staring at rajji with bewilderment and confusion. He asked her, "rajji, tujhe har baar vahi bol rahi hum jo meine socha...us din wo dhaba mein bi tune jo khana order kiya hain na...wo bhi exactly meine socha, vahi order kiya. Mujhe bahut ajeebsa lag raha hain. Kaise ye sab? Kya matlab hain inka?"

Rajji smiled and said, "Kuch sawalongki jawab sirf Rab ke paas hain soham."
