Loved the way Dev told radhika the reason behind his decision....
Now she understood why he is doing all this eventhough she has pain in her mind ..LIked DEv's decision that before marriage he wants to be independent ....Ummmm!!! good decision...
It was nice Rohini and Radhika's talk especially plane story...Good job Devika keep it up👏

Loved the episode---brought tears to my eyes and a smile to my lips

Rohini---Radhika interaction and Rohini's flash back about seeing the planes in her childhood was very beautiful...I really felt the mother's anguish...how a mother is trying to convince herself that whatever is happening is for the best, knowing very well how much she is going to miss her daughter.....really made me emotional too..

Dev and Radhika interaction---
Loved the cute mail he wrote waiting for Radhika to come on-line...could feel his yearning for Radhika, to share his happiness with her; all of which was incomplete until he could have shared that with her..

Through their conversation, you brought out the reasoning behind why he wanted to take up the job--wanting to be independent and realize his responsibilities to support his wife...really liked Dev' thoughts and Radhika's understanding and acceptance was also very well done...Although feeling sad inside, she was supportive of Dev--slowly but surely your Radhika is "growing up" and becoming a strong person.....she will need to be, to be away from her beautiful Chandenpur and her family...will Dev's love and support be enough for her?...
(why do I get the feeling that Radhika was expecting this turn of events??

The story slowly but surely is moving towards real life--
Can't wait for future episodes--really curious to see how it is all going to unfold..

Devika,
Nice update my dear friend. Liked the way Dev tried to explain to Radhika and the excitement of having got a job, the need for him to earn to support his wife after marriage-and the way they prepare to get into the threshold of new and a lasting relationship.
It is common for young boys to get out of the nest in pursuit of their professional education, and it is also very common amongst girls today. But Radhika was a very different girl who hesitated to step out of Chandanpur to go to Delhi inorder to pursue her college education. At every first opportunity she got she always thought of returning to her Chandanpur and run to the beautiful river side, or the meadows or to the fields to pick the guava. Isn't she going to miss all this. Leave alone Radhika, this is what girls face when they are extremely attached to the family bonding and the place where they have basked in warmth and security. For Radhika she has Dev's care and love but the adjustment to various scenarios--like a new relationship, new country, new atmosphere and the more important mental state--she has quite a few adjustments to do. My best wishes with her as your story unfolds.

Devika wasn't this confrontation a bit "THANDA", i expected it to bea bit more "BLOWN OFF"..
I mean i expected Radhika to be a bit Stubborn, refuse to speak to him, argue wid him, try to xplain him her POV as per her adjustment there, as it is tough for her to be in Delhi itself... I did nt xpect her to give in to Dev so easily as the kind of character which u have formed of her did not allow me to think otherwise. She is a girl who speaks her mind, who is stubborn and spoilt.. not like our serial radhika

Devika's note.... Thank you so much friends for the likings and commenting part- 56. so you liked that plane story...😛.. also for Rohini's behaviour.. nice question will Dev's love and support be enough for her.. it depend on her expectation and her dreams..how much ? so if he can fullfill that then for sure..
so now she is still in her dreamy world.. ya, she is in reality studying, passing out with nice grades and all..but otherwise, she is still in that dremay world of her, when it comes to Dev.. so she accepted his decision because he made a point there.. or may be let me use one of the PM quote I recieved for that..
... i can see the pain through which our pari is going , its biggest quality / blessing of god to woman to ADJUST ACC. TO SITUATIONS or ACC. TO YOUR LOVE ONES ....she is ready to support him even she is miss many things ..
I don't know how many agree with me with this statement.but I do.. that's the INdian culture.. means we believe women are more powerful than men. even one of the Malayalam actors (a padmasree honored)said about his wife that his wife amaze him, because he can do only one job at a time, but when it comes to his wife, she knows about him, his two kids, their tution, along with manageing house including paying the bills.. so the woman has the ability to mold into the situation better than men and the two species act differently to same situation.. Men may keep half things in their mind, but women may blabb out..
But with my pari.. as Radha and Chalhov mentioned.. At every first opportunity she got she always thought of returning to her Chandanpur and run to the beautiful river side, or the meadows or to the fields to pick the guava... so that is my Radhika, and that was i tried to tell with all these updates and I am so glad it reached to you...... and a story needs to depend on some drama , otherwise it won't become a fiction.. so you may see a fairy or a butterfly flying around in my dreamworld and i hope you will be able to connect with that..
so I can't wait to give the ending of this all drama or scenes (especially after seeing my little one smiling in her sleep), but still it is a long journey for me to reach there.. miles to go before i end.. so... hope I will be able to make sense with my updates, or please let me know..
Thank you dear for such valuable comments and likes and critique.. without that , i won't be forwarding like this.. I tried to give reply to each comment last time, but i believe many prefewr it this way... so decided to give like this only.. or let me know please..
someone asked me Why a girl alway shas to follow the man.. I really like that spirit, so that is what it is? how long a girl can just follow a man blindly/or in a dream, will she ever try to relaize to her own senses, her own likes.. so if she, then how she will react? so .... to know further, you need to hold on tight.. i mean not just as a traveller, but I want to see that same curiousity , just like the driver to have a safe journey.. so I may take a wrong path.., but you can guide me to right path... so that we all can reach that destination safe and sound..
thanks and love
Devika😃
Thanks Heena.. I am using ur glittering request...😃😃😃😃😃 to let them know how happy I am ...

Filler part....

Part -57

After dinner, the girls and the mom was chitchatting sitting on the main hall. Lechu's eyes were glued onto the TV screen, when Suchi and Radhika was discussing about Sarada's daughter's marriage. The phone rang behind them. Suchi looked at Radhika in doubt, and looked at the clock again..

She went and picked the phone..

Suchi: hello..

"Mom, muaaaaaaaaa'' dev's happy voice reached her ears..

Suchi's lashes flickered once hearing his voice: How are you beta?

Dev: fine.. mom.. I need your blessings.. and pray for me mom, today I am going to accept the offering.. and taking the next step in my life mom.. I am missing you a lot mom..

Suchi controlling her wet eyes: I am so proud of you my son. I miss you too, but yes, you need to move forward, and as dad said this is a very good opportunity, my blessings are always with you my son, you don't need to ask for it..

Dev: I know mom, you know what, my apartment is filled witht he agarbathi smell now.. so i can feel you around me...but still'... I wished you to be near be at this time.. dad too.. but..

Suchi: Dev, be a strong man.. um.. and it is good that you got a job, for me all this time you were just my son, even though you got engaged and was thinking about finding a date for your marriage, I never thought my son grown this big. And you are right beta.. and dad and me are always praying for you. So now, we will plan everything accordingly..

Dev: mom..

Suchi: yes Dev.. I don't have to take any tension like many other moms.. thinking about your job and all. So I am lucky in that way too.. Now prove yourself in your role and come back with a smiley face. Our happiness always depend on a smile on our kids face.. so our blessings are with you dear all the time..

Dev: thanks mom.. Is dad near?

Suchi: no, but Lechu and Radhika is here.. will call them Ok..

Lechu came running and picked the phone and said: good luck Bro.. so now I can expect a big gift from you.. right?

Dev: um' thanks Lechu, a Big gift, as you wish..

Lechu: that's my Bro.. Will give to Di , ok.. bye,..

Dev with a smile: bye..

Radhika with a smile watching Lechu getting back onto sofa: hello

Dev: um'

Radhika: hello

Dev: um' keeping the happiness inside with a naughty smile..

Radhika: what is this um um' tell me something..

Dev burst out into laugh: Ha, Radhika.. going to bed soon?

Radhika: ha.. so you all set.

Dev: ha.. for us..

Radhika smiled shyly..

Dev: ok then, will call dad on his cell . Need to get ready quick.. tried to catch mom before she get into bed..

Radhika with a smile: ji..

Dev: and don't forget to send me the mails Ok.. I will check back once I come back..

Radhika: um.. goodluck..

Dev: thanks dear' and.

Radhika: and .. what?

Dev: kuch nahi'

Radhika: ok then bye.. she looked at Suchi and Lechu quick and bringing the receiver closer to her lips she said: muhaaaaaaaa.. and then with a giggle kept the receiver back on rack and ran and sat near Lechu with a bubbling heart.. unable to control that smile, she looked at the TV monitor and tried to concentrate on it..but still that lips stretched out..

Dev smiled through his morning course as everything went fine so far and Radhika is accepting the fact too.. he remembered all those meetings with her, where she looked at him unbelievably to her angry faces, to her pleading, then her chandenpur stories.. and finally the saving and to her love.. and we came long way to get here, it took more than a year to know each other, maybe she was in me, but I realized it late.. thinking myself as villain in this story as she herself mentioned that to me.. but when it all turned upside down.?. but yes, everything turned with the time.. the time brought us together and I wish the time will close the distance between us too soon and I pray after that it won't separate us anymore.. So I can bear this distance for now. Maybe another year, but I am sure, after that everything will be Ok..

He took his file, made sure everything is in and then taking his car key , he walked out from his apartment.. smiling at his bright future and the fortune..

****

Days, weeks , months passed by...'

Heena and Radhika were sitting at the college canteen...'

Heena: so mom, dad ,and sis flying off and not you?

Radhika: why?

Heena: no Radhika.. I really thought you are missing him a lot, but it seems like you are ok with everything..

Radhika: what do you mean?

Heena: no Radhika.. I know Dev's job news came so quick and you agreed with that along with others and now all are going , except you..

Radhika with a smile: ha Heena.. even I also thought how I gave up so quick at that time.. Before that I was telling sweety that I won't talk to him.. but when I heard his sound, his concern for me, and then his worry about our future.. I gave up unknowingly. Maybe because I was listening to papa and suchi mom's talk. I thought I tell him that they are worried, I am worried.. but, even though they all worried, they all supported him.. and he also sounded so worried about the future.. I thought maybe he is right, he loves me so much, and I know that.. also he told me he doesn't want to join papa's business soon. So there is no other option.. and he sounded so happy with that offer, and at that moment I only looked for that..

Heena: what about you Radhika.. did you stop counting days..

Radhika: I am still counting days, not days, may be hours, to talk to him, to see and read his mails. you know, he is truly busy, but he completed his studies and now totally free , now it is his job and that headache..

Heena: but then why you are not going for the graduation..?

Rahdika: how can I? I am glad at least papa ,mom and Lechu are going.. and study leave is going to start for us too, so I will be in Chandenpur.. Ha Heena, if I see him one more time, it will be so painful to separate, so I prefer this wait than seeing him for just two days or a week.. also how can I go yaar.. you think this U.S people are so generous to give everyone visa that easily. I was not knowing about it, but then papa was telling about it..

Heena: that's right.. I know my cousin is back there too..

Radhika: so I am glad, at least they all got it.. and you know when I go , I will go forever with him..

Heena: um um'um.

Radhika: what?

Heena: nothing'tell me what you are going to send , for him..

Rahdika: nothing.. what will I send?

Heena: anything..

Radhika: will think about it.. but nothing in my mind.. oh ya' may be pickle as usual from daadi and birju bhayya..

They laughed with that talk.. they saw arjun passing by along with his friends and few new students... looking at them...

Heena: I don't understand this arjun? See he lost another tournament and still no improvement?

Radhika: I think he will, when the students will ask him directly he may come back to his old form.

Heena: he better.. so Radhika, for study leave , I am going to come with you...' chandenpur for two weeks.. your dad won't throw me out , right..

Radhika with a smile: that will be awesome.. let's have fun.. now you became a part of my family....

Heena: um.. I love Chandenpur so much now..

Radhika: see, that's the magic of nature..

Their talk went on...'

*****

Dinner time at Chandenpur..

Rohini: I am glad their journey went fine..

Mohan: ha.. he invited us too.. I know how proud Surender and Suchi might be feeling now. Tomorrow is his graduation , right?

Radhika: ha..

Daadi: I will also go one day when my Radhika get there.. I will also see this so called America..

Rahul: Daadi, first me, I already told Dev bhayya that I am coming for my studies there..

Rohini: so everybody is ready to go.. then who is going to be with me here..

Birju: mei huna maaji..

Rohini: that is my only hope for now..

Mohan: Birju get ready this weekend Ok. Did you like the new shirt..

Birju with a shy smile on face: ha..

Daadi: look at him, how shy he is? ye, Birju, the girl suppose to be shy, not you..

Birju walking away: daadi''

Rohini smiled wide seeing his shy walk away..

Radhika: Babuji, you need to fix the marriage only after my exam, I want to be here and I want to enjoy every bit of it.. I should be the one who will be welcoming the bhabhi...'

Mohan: ha Beta.. and I am happy so far everything going on well. Now let them see each other and decide'..

****

Back in U.S.

Dev: dad, this is Balaji Sir, I told you other day..

Surender looked at Mr. Balaji with a smile on his face'.. and shook his hand they exchanged few talks..

Rema: Oh so, this is Lechu, who send that beautiful rakhi' ..

Lechu smiled: I know you, bro told about you to us..

Suchi: Pranav is very cute..

Rema suddenly changing her expression: not cute, very naughty.. you don't know deedi, he won't sit at one place for no longer than two minutes.. Rema continued with her kid talk..

Dev: Dad, I think it is time , I need to go..

Surender with a proud smile: good luck son.. we will be watching you..

The group stood with pride , wearing the gown and the hat.. slowly the ceremony started and their name called one by one.. and finally they heard his name too Dev Surender Bhatt'.... Suchi squeezed Surender's hand with happiness. There their son standing with the dream in his hand, which he dreamed from his school days..and now looking at them with an ear to ear smile.. her eyes felt wet , she controlled.. the ceremony went on for some more time..

Finally he came near to them, took his parents blessings.. Surender looked at the certificate and again hugged him..

Rema: Dev, so what is your plan for today..

Dev: nothing, taking dad and mom out for dinner..

Rema: ok then, tomorrow dinner at our house OK.

Rema: ha, but I got used to it now. So I will be totally fine.. so we will see you tomorrow..

Balaji: Dev, you have the address ,right?

Balaji nearing Dev's ears: arre yaar, at least one day let me have a good meal .. so don't say no.. then raising his voice up, looking at Surender: ok Sir, nice to meet you and will see you tomorrow at our place.

Surender with a smile: sure, it's a pleasure to meet you too..

Dinner time in an American restaurant..

Suchi: Dev, this doesn't have any taste beta.. I should have cooked something at home.

Surrender: why suchi, you are eating that everyday, atleast try something different yaar..

Suchi: its not like that.. see, there is no taste at all.. I think Indian food is the tastiest..

Surender: that's because we grew up with that taste buds.. look at Lechu..

Lechu dig her face into the pasta and was munching on it , drooling..

Suchi looking around: lechu , slow down..

Lechu: mom, tell you.. to get the real taste of pizza and pasta , you need to come here.. Bro, thanks..

Dev just smiled..: mom, tomorrow we can go to Indian restaurant..

Radhika: really', but I didn't change..

Dev: who said, you changed too..

Radhika: no I haven't.. she said affirming her words

Dev: yes You did, you are not that girl who fell from that tee anymore.. who was angry all the time..

Radhika: you still remember that!..

Dev: um..

Radhika: but I still climb trees, I still run around..

Dev: just like in my vision.. like a yellow butterfly who open and close its pretty small wings sitting in the middle of a large sunflower' right?

Radhika tightening her forehead: what?

Dev: kuch nahi..

Radhika: you said something..

Dev: I said, you are right, you are still the same, except for onething..

Radhika: what?

Dev: the love for me.. you changed a lot in that sense.. just for me..

Radhika: No I am not..

Dev: ok then, so I am going to believe that you loved me from the first meeting itself , right.. from that look..

Radhika: ok, take it that way..

Dev: but your Chandenpur talk, that really annoyed me Radhika..

Dev: ok ok.. I agree , I agree..now come to reality.. so how is your studies goig on?

Radhika: two more weeks.. exam starts..

Dev: and Birju bhayya's wedding?

Radhika with a smiley face typed: one week after my exams.. so I am going to enjoy it thoroughly..

Dev: so you will be free soon..

Radhika: ha..

Dev: ok.. I will also check on my vacation availability..

Radhika:um..

Dev: Radhika, dad is waking up.. will catch you later..

Radhika: good day..

*****

Dinner time at Rema's place..

Suchi looking around and walking behind Pranav..

Rema: I told you, he won't sit at one place for long..

Lechu: mom, I will take care of him.. Pranav come with me' she went and picked him in her hand and started tickling him..pranav laughed loud' Dev also joined Lechu ..

Rema: ha Padamaja. How are you?... oh..ok.. Ha.. dev's parents came , ya, his graduation was yesterday.. they are going back this weekend. Ok.. I will call you later.. sure.. ha.. ok..

Turning the phone off: she is my friend, Padmaja.. just like you, a doctor..

Suchi: it is nice there are so many Indians around..

Rema: ha Deedi.. and you know, we have many restaurants here.. and one Panjabi restaurant too .. its near the mall..

Suchi: oh ya, we went there for lunch.. I think its run by husband and wife , right..

Rema: they are so funny.. for them everything is food., that is why they are in that business. They love food and love to feed people too.. still has our nature in everything..

Suchi: I felt too..

The talk went on.. they had dinner and time passed by..

****

Weeks passed quickly..'

Suchi: Radhika did you pack everything beta..

Radhika: ha Mom..

Lechu still sitting with a gloomy face on the bed..

Suchi went near her: Lechu.. what is this?

Lechu: Now I feel all alone.. Di also going.. when bro left I never felt this lonely..but now..

Suchi with a smile: di is going for few months only and we can also go to Chandenpur whenever you want..

Lechu: but still..

Succhi: anyway tomorrow we all are going together.. so why you need to worry..and if you want you can also stay back there till your college reopens.. Sushma will be very happy..

Lechu: really..!!

Suchi: um.. may be that is good.. holding you all the time under my wings won't be good for you either and the short periods of separation is needed.. atleast I will get a break ..

Lechu: MOM..

Suchi just smiled and wrapped her arms around her shoulder.

They had their dinner. Surender came little late ..and after few family talk all retired back to their respective rooms..

Radhika one more time checked everything and arranged everything neatly..and then went into his room.. she touched the table, stood near window for sometime...' and then as she was walking out.. she looked behind the wall.. as in trance she walked behind and stood there, leaning back onto the wall.. she closed her eyes' ...she felt the energy circling her' ... her eyeballs moved corner to corner searching for him, her lips shivered'... and it stretched out slightly as if she is seeing in front of him' ... she said in mind..
"I am leaving tomorrow, when I came here first , you were there around, but tomorrow you won't be here, I will wait for you? Come back soon'... I don't know how much more I can take this distance, I wanted to see you in front of my eyes soon'... whenever I hear the payal sound, it remind me off you.. even the chandenpur roads, meadow and the woods , remind me off you' ... come back soon.. I am seeing only you around me, each turn on the road giving me expectation, as if somewhere you are waiting for me'....everyday I spend here after you left, I wish that unknown force to pull me into your room and pin me against that wall and then when I open my eyes, you will be standing in front of me, with that loving look...'it never happened, but still I wished every start of the morning and and the end of the day...' I am waiting for that magic to happen, one day when I walk through the path, and when I take that turn, I see you standing on the side, looking at me, smiling at me..and I stop with my unbelievable eyes and then run towards you'.. and wrap my arms around you....'. come back soon.... I am waiitng... waiting for you..."
