Part 27

~ After the eventful reception in honor of Rahul and Muskaan's arrvival back home, Rahul started to get calls from Sanjeevani to get back to his work as some serious surgical patients were in need of his critical neurological assessment and post operative work up. But before making anything offical he wanted to talk to Muskaan about the situation and how he was needed back at his professional life that was on hold for the past few months. As he got off the phone after talking to Dean of Sanjeevani's Delhi branch this morning he looked around for Muskaan then made his way downstairs as he heard clattering of kitchen utensils that were probably being used to make early morning breakfast for everyone in the house. Rahul enters the kitchen where Nikkita was busy getting Roshini to finish up her breakfast before she heads out for her preschool and Abhi was sipping his morning coffee with newspaper before him. ~

Rahul: Good morning…

Abhi: (looks up from his newspaper) Morning…kya baat hain looking for someone?

Nikkita: (Smiles) ofcourse Abhi…Muskaan ko dhoond raha hain Rahul…

Rahul: Ummm nahi toh…main toh yunhi…

Abhi: Chill kar rahul…Nikki toh bus yunhi tujhay tang karnay kay liye mauqa dhoondti rehti hain…

Rahul: Jeej…app ka office…?

Abhi: Haan yaar…back to work today, teray annay ki khushi mein I took some days off but ajj se meri bhi job shuru hain…Roshini ko school chor kar I gotta go to wrok, tujhay kuch kaam tha aaj mujhse? (He asked as he folded the newspaper and finished his coffee)

Rahul: (feeding Roshini her breakfast) Nahi…mujhay toh kuch khass kaam nahi tha bus yunhi pooch raha tha…

Roshini: Rahul maamu kya prateek bhi meray saath school jaya karay ga?

Rahul: (smiles) I don't know princes…aap ka school toh girls school hain na?

Roshini: Oh haaan…main toh bhool he gaye! Toh jub prateek bara hojaye ga voh kuan say school jayega?

Nikkita: Roshini jaan itnay hard sawaal mat karo itni subhah subah…abhi Prateek bahut choota hain per jub school janay lagay ga tub hum app dono ko aik saath drop aur pick up karay gay…theek hain?

Roshini: Sacchi! Phir main Prateek kay saath rooz ice cream kahanay jaoge after school! Bahut maaza aaye ga hain na Rahul maamu! (she exclaimed as rahul fed her the last bit of her half boiled egg)

Rahul: Ofcourse princess! Jaisa app kaho ge vaisa he hoga…okay?

Abhi: (Smiles at his cute daughter's future planning) Okay… maamu ki favorite abb chalay?

Roshini: Haan Papa…lets go main ready ho…! ( she quickly kisses Rahul on the cheek then hops off the chair and goes with Abhi who was grabbing his wallet and briefcase)

Rahul: (calls out after her as he watches her go) Bye Princess! Have a good day…

Nikkita: (Smiles) Rahul tum naashta karo main bus abhi aayi..

Rahul: Jaiyay jaiyay apnay "ABHI" ko abhi jaldi say jaakay bye keh kar aaiyay…(he teases his sister as she rushes out quickly to wave her husband and daughter good bye.) Abb yeh Muskaan kaha hain? (he looks around the empty dinning room then walks towards the kitchen where Muskaan stood making breakfast according to Rahul's preference. He leans against the door frame and simply stares at her as she works without realizing his presence.)

Muskaan: (to herself) Oh no! Di kay pass Rahul ki pasand ki coffee toh khatam hogaye hain…abb kya karu?

Rahul: (irresistibly smiles at his wife's nature, then goes to her and hugs her from the back which scares her badly)

Muskaan: Ahhhhhhh!

Rahul: Kya hua?!

Muskaan: (sighs) Oh god Rahul! Yeh tum thay?

Rahul: (gripping her tightly around her waist) Haan…toh aur kuan ho sakta hain wifey?

Muskaan: Koi nahi… (Smiles) Tum uth gaye, itni subhay?

Rahul: Hmmm…uthna para…(he closes his eyes as he breathes in her sweet smell while resting his chin on her shoulder)

Muskaan: Acha abb mujhay choro Di vaapis aati he hongi…

Nikkita: ( walks in from behind) Ahem…ahem..Di vaapis agaye hain…

Rahul: (jerks away from Muskaan) uh..mm..umm..

Muskaan: (embarassed) Voh Di…actually…

Nikkita: (smiles and goes towards Muski) Muskaan it's okay…acha mujhay kuch grocer karnay super market jaana hain tumhay kuch chiyay…Prateek ya iss Bandar kay liye? (she looks over at Rahul who was bitting into an apple that Muskaan was getting ready to cut for him)

Rahul: Di tum mujahy Bandar bulana kub band karo ge?

Nikkita: jub tum bandaroon waali harkateein band karo gay…(she laughs lightly then turns to Muskaan) Haan bolo muskaan kuch chiyay toh nahi hain?

Muskaan: Nahi Di…thanks you abhi kay liey toh kuch bhi nahi chiyay…

Rahul: Actually di coh meri coffee…

Nikkita: Haan meray bahi jaanti hoon khatam hogaye hain, maine apni list per likh li thi… aur kuch? (she said grabbing her bad and car keys)

Muskaan: Nahi di…baqi sub kuch hain gahr mein…

Nikkita: Acha abb main chalti hoon do ghantay mian vapis ajao ge…bye! (she head out leaving Muskaan and Rahul by themselves as they walked towards the dinning table for breakfast)

Muskaan: Oh! voh main tumhara juice toh lana he bhool gayi…( she starts to get up and go when Rahul holds her hand back)

Rahul: It's okay Muskaan choro juice toh kal he pya tha…

Muskaan: (smiles) Per Rahul cpunter per rakha hain main…

Rahul:Beht jao na… please…?

Muskaan: (sits down realizing his seriousness) Kya Hua Rahul…? Tum theek ho na?

Rahul: Hmmm…voh main kafi dair se tum se aik baat kehna chah raha tha…

Muskaan: Bolo…?

Rahul: (sighs) Muskaan actually voh mujhay Sanjeevani vapis join karna hoga…yahaan Delhi mein hi…Jub se vaapis aaya hoon kafi calls achuki hain aur abb toh Dean bhi bula raha hain…kuch patients kay cases kafi complicated hain… main decide nahi kar paraha hoon kay…

Muskaan: (Holds his hand) Rahul tumhay Sanjeevani join kar layna chiyay…

Rahul: (looks up at her) Per Muskaan abhi toh humarai shaadi..

Muskaan: Rahul humara waqt toh hameesha sirf humara rahay ga…lakin tum aggar apna thora sa waqt kissi aur ki zindagi bachanay mein laga kar kissi aur kay gham ko kum kardo gay toh shayad yeh waqt khud humaray liye hameesha ruka rahay…hmmm..?

Rahul: Are you sure?

Muskaan: 100%... Tumhay shayad yaad nahi per Dr.Rahul world kay sub se talented neurosurgeon hain aur meray liye toh itna he kafi hain kay main unki patni hoon jis kay liye waqt kuch meaning nahi rakhta kyunki voh toh sari zindagi uss talented doctor kay saath rahay ge…hameesha kay liye… (she smiled proudly as she stood next to his chair where he was seated)

Rahul: Thank you…!(he smiled and hugged her tightly gripping her by her waist as she remained standing next to him) Muskaan aggar tumhaara saath hameesha yunhi meray pass rahay ga toh iss zindagi ko kabhi waqt ka sahara nahi lay nay ki zaroorat he nahi ho gi…

Muskaan: Main tumharay saath hoon Rahul…ajj bhi aur humaray annay waalay kal mein bhi…(she cups his face in her hands as he breaks from the hug and looks up at her lovingly)

Rahul: I love you…

Muskaan: hmmm jaanti hoon..abb naashta karo issi pehlay kay Prateek ki subah ho jaye aur main uss mein busy ho jao..(she sits back down and they begin to eat)

~ Same Morning In Mumbai~

~Armaan drops the letter by the post office that is addressed to Muskaan with Modi's residential address on it. He weakly walks back to his car and instructs the driver to take him to the beach where he finds a quiet spot so that he could simply watch the waves crash by the shore as he sits down and thinks about what he wrote in the letter that is on it's way to the one and only person he feels is responsible for the little good that is still left in his dying soul.~

Armaan: (thinking back to what he wrote in the letter) "Meri zindagi kay akhri pal…aik aik lamha…aik aik pal…sirf tumharay naam hain, meri jaan say bhi bhar kar…shayad tumhay yeh khat tub millay jub main iss duniya mein he na raho ya phir shayad tub jub mein apni saaza ki akhri kuch saansein lay raha hoon…sirf thoray kadam aur, meray bilqual saamnay meri maut khari hain, yeh ehsaas kay maine tumhay koh diya hain na mujhay jeenay deta hain na marnay. Mujhay mar he jana chiayay, yeh saaza bhi bahut kum hain aur mujhay koi afsoos bhi nahi hain, lakin haan iss baat ka afsoos hain mujhay kay tumhara cehra dekhay bina he maut ajaye ge. Tumhara gunahgaar hoon mein…aik aisa gunhagaar jo apni galatiyoon ki saaza apnay app ko har din har waqt de raha hain… Nahi jaanta tha kay yeh zindagi itni chooti par jaaye ge kay tumse millay bagair maut ajaye ge… tum jaanti hoon tum subse khoobsurat kub lagti hoon?... jub subah savaray uth thi hoon…bikhray huye curly say baal…neend bhari bhoori anhkein…suyi suyi awaaz…aaj bhi meray kanoon mein gunnjti hain…tum meray pass nahi ho toh kya hua…meray kareeb he toh hoon har aik tasveer mein, yaad mein, aur meray iss kamzoor dil mein bhi…ajj bhi subah uth kar jub mein tumharai pasand ki adrak waali chai banata hoon toh aik nahi do (2) cup banata hoon…aik tumharay liye aur aik apnay liye…puray cheh (6) saal hogaye hain rooz subah do (2) cup chai peeta hoon…aik garam meray hisay kia ur thandi tumharay hisay ki… yaad hain tumhay meray haath ki bani hui chai zayaada pasand aati thi chahay voh achi bani ho ya nahi… kabhi kabhi toh aisa lagta hain jaisay tum kahein gaye he nahi…aur kabhi lagta hain itni dur ho kay chaho toh bhi tumhay cho nahi sakta… khair iss bemaari nay mujhay aadi kar diya hain akelepan ka…tanha hoon per tumharai yaad kay yaad kay saath hoon aur akhri pal tak issi umeed mein raho ga kay tum aik baar meray saamnay ajao ge…aik baar mujhay meri saaza sunao ge…apni saaza ka muntazir raho ga.." (coming out of his thoughts he gets up slowly looking out to the sea once again, his eyes are burning red but moisture in them is clearly visible behind the thick specs and the solemn face which has grown facial hair along with a defeated expression over time and continues to grow weaker by the day.)

~Few Days Later in Delhi~

~ It's been a couple of days since Rahul joined Sanjeevani and no doubt he was drowned with surgeries and consults from day one at work. Muskaan and Prateek would make arrangements to meet him at his lunch so that they could spend some time together as Prateek was missing his presence badly due to fact that he was always on call and returned late every night. Muskaan was familiar with the hectic routine as she herself was once affiliated with this type of profession and nothing about it had changed over the years, including the critical timmings and back to back shifts. Rahul was the head of surgery and she understood his position from a professional prespective.~

Prateek: (over the phone) Papa aoo ghar kub aoo gay?

Rahul: Kiddo…I am so sorry ajj lunch time per bhi main busy raha issi liye maama aur app ko anay say manah kar diya but I'll try to come hoem early…okay…

Prateek: Pateek misses you soooo sooo soo much..! (he said sweetly as Muskaan held her cell phone to his ear and smiled)

Rahul: (smiled) I know kiddo! Papa misses you too…Aur app nay lunch kar liya?

Prateek: Maama nay fench fyes banai thay..

Rahul: Yum! Apnay saray kah liye?

Prateek: No way! Pateek nay Papa kay liey bhi safe kiyeay hain!

Rahul: Saachi!

Prateek: Pomise!

Rahul: (laughs) Phir toh mujhay jaldi say gahr aana paray ga…acha bolo kuansi ice cream lay kay aao?

Prateek: Umm…aik minute main Roshni di se pooch kay aaya! Voh bhi kehlay gen a humaray saath jub app ajao gay..app Maama say baat kar lo main aaya… (he runs off to find Roshini to ask about her favorite flavor as Muskaan held the phone next to her ear so that she could talk to her husband whom she was missing dearly.)

Muskaan: Hello…Rahul?

Rahul: (Smiles and closing his eyes as he hears her sweet voice) Hmmmmmm….

Muskaan: Thak gaye?

Rahul: Thoda sa…

Muskaan: Bacho kay saath plan kyun bana liya…thank gaye thay toh ghar aakay araam kar lay tay... main manah…

Rahul: Nahi Muskaan…Tumhay aur Prateek ko dekh kar saari thakan uttar jaati hain aur phir ajj itnay dini baad finally jaldi ghar ajao gat oh thora time uss kay saath toh spent karna he hain…I miss my son…

Muskaan: aur bewi? Voh yaad nahi aati…?

Rahul: Bhoola kub jo yaad aaye? (he looks at Muskaan's picture that was on his desk while talking on the phone and smiles)

Muskaan: uss tasveer say he tum smile kar kay baaad kartay ho toh bahut cute lagtay ho…

Rahul: (surprised) Tumhay kaisay pata main tumharai tasveer kay baat kar raha hoon?

Muskaan: Bus pata hain…aik bewi ko apnay husband ki kafi baatoon ka pata hota hain Dr.Rahul…

Rahul: hayee! I wish I was home…

Muskaan: Me too..(Prateek came running in with roshini and they announced the ice cream falvor out loud "Cookies and Cream"!!!) Rahul voh bacho nay…

Rahul: Hmmm "Cookies and Cream" maine sunn liya…(he smiled)

Muskaan: Rahul jaldi aaogay na? Main intezaar karo ge…

Rahul: Hmmm jaldi ajao ga...Muskaan

Muskaan: I love you…

Rahul: Love you more…

Muskaan: Bye…

Rahul: okay bye…! (he hangs up and placed the picture back on his desk before getting back to studying the case he is operating on before heading back home.)

~After finishing up his only surgery for the day, Rahul quickly grabs his car keys and an important case file before heading out early as he didn't want to waste a minute in Sanjeevani when he could be spending time with his family. He makes a stop an the nearest supermartet to grab "Cookies and Cream" ice cream for the kids then drives straight home. Muskaan and Nikkita were outside in the garden with Prateek and Roshini playing around when they heard Rahul's car in the driveway and his honk drew the kids attention towards him even more and they ran up to him as Nikki and Muskaan simply smiled watching from a distance.~

Nikki: Lo agaya! Abb dekhna bacho mein he lagay rahay ga aur tumhay bilqual bhi time nahi dega…

Muskaan: Nahi Di…Rahul ka kaam aur bachay pehlay aatey hain..aur phir voh unkay saath time spent kar kay jitna khush lagta hain meray liye vohi khushi kafi hoti hain…

Prateek: Papa! Papa! (he rusn to Rahul who quickly picks him up in his arms)

Roshini: Mammu! Aap finally agaye! Prateek kubs e intezaar kar arha tha!

Rahul: (bends down to her level while Prateek wrapped himself in his arms) I know princess…! Maamu nay appko hi bahut wait karaya na?

Roshini: ummm…bahut toh nahi per haan thoda sa wait karna para!

Prateek: Papa maine Roshini di kay saath play station per game bhi set kar liya hain! Nayi waali..! car hain na jis mein voh waali!

Roshini: Haan maamu! Hum nay snacks bhi banai hain Mom aur maami kay saath!

Rahul: Wow! Bacha party ajj sach mein hum khoob msti karnay waalay hain! Bahut maza aayega!

Roshini: Aur ice cream?

Rahul: Ofcourse princess main laykay aaya hoon…(he hands her the shopping bag and she runs inside to the kitchen to put it in the freezer. Prateek clings on to Rahul as he walks up to Nikki and Muskaan)

Nikki: Hmmm agaye Dr.Rahul?

Rahul: Je Di…agayaye Dr Rahul…per gahr mein "Dr" hata kar baat kiya karay…

Nikki: chalo yeh bhi theek hain…toh batao juice, coffee, ya chai?

Muskaan: Aray di main kar do gi aap…

Nikki: Muskaan yahi behto na thori dair Rahul kay saath… main lay aati hoon…

Prateek: Papa main juice lay kay aao?

Rahul: (kisses Prateek's cheek) No kiddo I am good, thanks Di per main abhi abhi hospital se coffee pe kay araha hoon…

Nikki: Toh theek hain tum Muskaan kay pass behto main zara saamnay se mail dekh kar aati hoon kafi dino se Abhi ne bhi mail check nahi kin a jaanay kuan kuan se bill agayae hon gay…

Prateek: can Prateek come?

Nikki: Ofcourse baby! Ajao! (he jumps off of Rahul's arms and goes with Nikki to the mail box which was across the garden. Rahul and Muskaan are left smiling at the little Prateek who is growing up fast)

Rahul: (sighs as he takes a seat on the chair) so wifey aaj ka din kaisa raha?

Muskaan: (pulls her chair right next to him and sits down) Saach kaho toh har waqt tumhay yaad karti rahi…lunch hour toh ghuzarna itna mushkil hogaya tha kay bus…

Rahul: (caresses her cheek lovingly) I know…I am sorry jaan…surgery he kuch ajeeb timming per sechuduled thi…

Muskaan: Per tum jaldi gahr agaye main bahut khush hoon…

Rahul: I know…tumhay pichlay kafi dino se sootay mein se jaga deta tha raat to jub late vapis aata tha…aaj araam se so jana…

Muskaan: Rahul main tumharay bagir soti tohri hoon…jub tum vapis annay kay baad meray pass bistar per aatey hoon tabhi mujhay neend aati hain… (she smiled and rested her head on his shoulder)

Rahul: Bahut miss karti hoon mujhay?

Muskaan: hmmm lagta hain koi part tiem job dhoond ni paray ge kyunki itna miss kiya toh pata nahi main kaisay raho ge…

Rahul: (caressing her hair as she rested her head on his shoulder) job toh hain voh bhi Sanjeevani mein…meray saath kaam kar loon… maine neuro mein aur tum oncology mein…bolo karo ge?

Muskaan: Offer achi hain bus Prateek tohra bra hojaye toh I'll join…voh school shuru kar day toh phir main bhi tumharay saath chala karo ge…

Rahul: (smiles) Muskaan tumhay jiss cheez mein khushi millay tum vahi karo… abhi karo ya baad mein yeh bhi tumahari marzi hain… Prateek ko daycare bhi…

Muskaan: Nahi Rahul…Prateek jis age mein hain main uss age main har pal uskay saath hona chahti hoon… uski har chooti chooti baat, har aik nayi shararat mujhay dekhni hain…

Nikki: (comes back with Prateek holding the mail in his hands) We've got mail!

Muskaan (sits up straight as Rahul smiles at her shy nature)

Prateek: Mom loads of mail! (he puts it down on the table and Nikki starts to go trhough the pils of bills and more)

Nikki: Arrey Muskaan tumhari bhi aik mail ayi hain…(she looks at the envelope and hands it to her) lagta hain koi letter hain…

Muskaan: (confused) letter?

Rahul: Oh wifey itni preshaan na ho… Riddhima ya kissi friend ka ho ga Paris se…(he said as Prateek made him get up so that they could go inside and get on with the planned party)

Muskaan: (Smiles) haan shayad…

Prateek: Ander chalay naaaaaa…

Rahul: okay Kiddo! Lets go! (he picked up Prateek and spun him around several times before running towards the house pretending to be a super fast air plane. Muskaan and Nikki could hear Prateek's laughter echo around them as they followed them)

~As Rahul and Prateek got inside the house they both rushed to the living room where Roshini was ready with the play station controllers for them to start the game. She was the hostess and Rahul and Prateek were the main players until Abhi came back from work and joined in as well. From 7 to about 9 o clock the Modi residence was echoing with hoots for Rahul and Abhi as they raced neat looking cars on the tv-screen. Prateek was favoring his dad while Roshini got bored and joind Nikki and Muskaan with her Barbie dolls and doll house. It was a complete fanily night at Modi residence with everyone doing something fun with the kids. Rahul and Abhi were acting Prateek's age while Muskaan and Nikkiat were helping Roshini play doll house with Barbie and her friends. At about 9:30 they sat down for dinner together and then both Kids requested to be tucked in to their respective beds as they were ready to sleep after an exciting day. Rahul tucked in Prateek and finally retired to his bedroom where he knew Muskaan was up and waiting for him. As he entered he noticed Muskaan standing with the letter that she had received that evening, in a shocked state she was staring at the paper as if it sentenced someone to death. Rahul walks over to her worriedly and holds her by her shoulders as he notices tears threathening to spill on her very pale face.~

Precap:

Muskaan: (angered and shattered) Voh jhoot bol raha hain….bahanay bana raha hain Rahul…mujhay preshaan karnay kay liye aisa kar raha hain…main ussay achi tarah se jaanti hoon Rahul…voh sirf mujhay…
