MOTI'S BIDAAI
Part 14
Continued......
Santu is travelling in the car on her way back home. She remembers her confrontation she had with Moti, thinking maybe she said too much, maybe she hurt Moti's feelings? No, no, she only said the truth and if the truth hurt Moti then she would have to deal with it because the truth is that she loves DM more than anyone else in this world and DM the same for her. The only greed she had was the greed of love for her husband. She would happily move back to the village and live in a small house as long as she lived in it with DM. DM's words meant a lot, a man who hides his feelings to himself, DM only believes in truth and justice and when he spoke to her on the pier and when they had their union after a year, DM not only did he speak the truth from his heart but also from his eyes. A lot could be said about the eyes and the day when DM expressed and declared his feelings to her, she saw that love and longing he had for her, it was not fake nor pity but pure true love, trust and faith in their love. When Santu had accidently overheard DM and Moti's conversation whilst making her way back to her room, she was shocked and happy at the words her husband voiced and how he was protecting her and sticking up for her, to his sister! The sister who had made her life/their lives a living hell the moment she first stepped foot into the walls of Dharamraj Mahiyavanshi's life. Never did she dream she could fall in love like this and dream such dreams which would only happen in fairy tales she used to listen to when she was a child but hers was not a fairy tale is was real, smiling to herself DM was indeed her Raja but that she would keep to herself, these feelings were hers and hers only. She felt safe with him and she could handle anything or anyone as long as he was there with her, she loved his smile, his laugh, his naughtiness, his playfulness, his caring, his strictness, the knowledge he held, his love for everyone, the devotion to anyone or anything big or small and she loved his anger and strength because of these things made him who he is, hers and her only DM. She found it funny and loved the way he twitched his mooche when he was happy and when he had an idea. Tears of joy ran down Santu's eyes that she found him and he found her, it took a long time for them to be where they are today but all the hurt and sacrifices that were made in the process she thought that in the end it was all worth it, may be if those events never happened then things may have been different so she would not change the past but always look forward to the future as what she could see was a long open road full of happiness and joy and her Raja, Dharamraj Mahiyavanshi would be holding her hand walking with her on this road both looking out to the horizon smiling to eachother because they could go anywhere and do anything but they knew that they would be side by side and they would rule and protect their village Dharampur together. The car suddenly stops at the gates of her home Mahiyavanshi Mansion, her home. She gets out the car, walks through the gates and stands in front of the Tulsi plant and prays thanking Tulsi Maa for all that she has given and promises to fulfil all her duties firstly as a wife and mother and the rest will follow naturally.
After a few moments whilst Santu's eyes were closed she feels a breeze and then a warmth around her and she turns round and see the person she wished for right beside her, it was her husband, her Malik who is beaming at her.
Santu: Malik, Upp Agaya, meih uppkeli panni lekhr ateyhu? (you've come, I will get water for you)
DM: Areh bass (enough) can't you greet me without offering me water all the time, a simple kiss on the cheek would suffice (DM smiling at Santu with his naughtiness)
Santu blushes and then they both laugh to eachother because it was true but DM loved this as this had become their routine, once DM entered home, his wife would be there ready and always their doing her duty as a wife and he there to tease her and put smile on her face upon coming home, this routine will carry on for all the many years to come only each day he would bring her home a different coloured rose and give it to her with his love 😳
DM: Chal, lets go in.
By holding her arm and walking in together oner the dheleez, Santu remembers the day they remarried and they had their grapravesh and entered the house together and DM thinking the same also, a happy husband and wife equals a happy home.
DM: Santudi, today you are with me ha?
Santu: Hamesha (Always)
The whole family are assembled in the hall way, DM and Santu take Baa and Bapuji's blessings. Moti comes down looking at DM and daggers at Santu, DM hands on his hips noticing just stares at Moti and then turns round after hearing footsteps...
Kanji enters the M Mansion, DM welcomes him with open arms and Santu takes Kanji Kaka's blessings.
Khanji: Jai Bugwanni (ohhohohohooo Kanji music enterance) 😆
DM: Kanji Bhai Upp agaya (you've come) as requested so you have thought about what I spoke to you this morning and I know that whatever decision you made, you thought long and hard about it and whatever decision you make, I will respect it?
Khanji: Ha Dharamraj, I have made a decision, I have neglected my responsibilities and you are right, today I will take up my responsibility and I know just how. Mere fesla heh (My decision is) Taru and Moulik will be coming to live with me in our matrial home in Jumkumbaria and this will take immediate effect as of today. Taru (Kanji looking at Moti) I have thought long and hard about this and you will go up your brother's stairs to the room you have been living in for the past 22 years and pack your belongings and come home with me isivact (right now).
A sigh of relief comes out of DM, Khanji proved to be the man he thought he was and today his respect grew for him even more, not only did he respect the Mahiyavanshi family but also returned his sister's respect by accepting her back and taking up his husbandly responsibilities that were long forgotten years ago, a mistake that his Father (DM & Moti's) had made by separating two lovers because of class and status, this mistake he would justify and thinking that the class and status did not affect him, only his sister who has become bitter over the years as Santu came from a poor background but with a rich upbringing and that today was the start of a new beginning not only for him and Santu but also for Khanji and Moti. DM is extremely happy but does not show it to the family but by looking into Santu's eyes of his relief and happiness and Santu nodding back at him with a smile.
Moti: Nai, impossible, I will not go, this will not happen, this is my home, this is my family, Nanka, you can't let this man just walk in here and start demanding his Pati rights after all this time, deceiving, cheating me and telling me what to do, who does he think he is?
DM: Tere Pati aur mere Bhanibilal (your husband and my brother-in-law)
Moti: Sumji (I understand) this is all YOUR DOING (pointing at Santu) you Santuri, you, you little witch, gold digger, family divider. Whatever I try and do to get rid of you, you just keep coming back and back more conivingly turning my brother against me! HAPPY? today you have won, today you succeeded in your game, today you have come between brother and sister, today my brother is throwing me out and this is only because of you, yesterday my brother spoke to me as if I wasn't his sister and he was sticking up for you, you Chotti Jhatti Ki Ladki, I am Tarulatta Mahiyavanshi and I will never leave this house...I....
DM: BASS, BASS, BASS, Bohothogaya (enough, enough, enough, enough said and done) this will stop TODAY!! (putting out his hand to Moti) Bhanibilal fesla sonliya, ub mere felsa sonuw, mere felsa heh, Motiben, tum Tarulatta Waghela (BIL has voiced his decision and now listen to my decision, you sister,Tarulatta Waghela) as from today you will leave your brother's house and will be residing in your husband's house with your husband and son Moulik. Today your brother bids you farewell and today will be your bidaai, you are my sister and always will be part of this family, you will come to visit but a married woman's home is her husband's home as my home is Santu's home, she is and always will be with me. I made myself and my feelings clear to you yesterday and I will not repeat this again, I don't tend to make a habit of repeating myself as you very well know so there it is, out in the open, out on the table, I love you, your my sister but I love my wife also and her happiness counts first my responsibilities changed but my feeling for you have not but if you carry on the way you have been then there will be no relation left between us. Leave here with your pride and dignity in place and be happy with your husband and son.
Moti: Nanka, listen to me, I have no problem with you and Santuri, whatever you say I will do, let me stay (Walking up to DM with tears in her eyes)
DM turns away, Santu is looking at Moti with sad eyes. DM focuses his gaze on to Santu, Moti just stares at Santu as if asking for help but Santu looks helpless and down at the floor as her husband's decision stands and this is now the only way.
Moti walks back slowly looking at DM's back and then turn round and rushes up the stairs. Everyone is standing there in silence with a few muffled noises. An hour later Moti walks through the corridor looking down at the statues below coming down the stairs, know one able to look at her.
Kanji: I'll take the bags to the car.
Moti hands the bags to Kanji with a mean look to him, all he can see is hatred in her eyes but Kanji knows how to handle Moti and this did not seem to faze him, he knew that it will take time but he is a man of patience, he would wait and bare with her but not bare any of her tantrums he knew that she would get tired and give up one day, he just focused on one day he would have a happy photo on his desk just like the one DM had of him and Santu, he waited 22 years a few more wouldn't hurt. He just looked at her and walks off with her bags.
Moti looks around the hall remembering memories, births of the children, all the parties, functions, weddings, family sitting together, chatting having fun, she sees a women walking around happily and serving all the family members, getting on with her duties, floating in here and there and seeing DM watching her with a smile on his face, waiting for an opportunity to get her to himself and the many times she saw him affectionaly teasing this women, she can hear the music of chum..chum..chuming as the women walked... dancing around and the sweet laughter, when the women turns round its Santu, young, soo beautiful but wiser than her years. DM used to tease her Bhuhbi which has become a distant memory but this was different way, she choose not to remember these moments Santu making DM happy and DM not getting by without Santu by him, she felt a huge pain in her heart, a lump in her throat, no words could come out, had she made another biggest mistake in her life? Did her jealousy and loyalty to Subhudra get in her way of accepting Santu? She remembered Santu in those memories, shocked at herself, never had she thought of Santu in her dreams only ones where she hated her. A silent tear dropped down her eyes and landed on the floor, how she treated and misbehaved towards Santu, the flashing backs of her torture she did to this girl and this girl never once complained and just took it all in and because of her misbehaviour this is her punishment. Santu sees this, she clutches DM and tears flow down her face, Moti and Santu stare at eachother having a secret converstation to eachother, Moti seems sorry, she is repenting for her actions, the way she treated Santu, Santu looking at her not with hatred but love and sympathy, Moti cannot bare it any longer and walks out the house.😭
Everyone follows and Moti takes blessing from Baa and Bapuji. All the children hugs her with tears and then Moti walks up to Santu who is standing next to DM, she looks Santu in the eyes, Moti is feeling pathetic and so much smaller than Santu, Santu moves closer to Moti and hugs her and whispers...
Santu: Benba, Malik loves you and his anger today proves how much. He loves and respects you the most, he wants you to get all the happiness you deserve and to have someone there for you, all these years you have looked after our family, today we want someone to look after you. Without you Malik would not be able to live and made it this far, your a huge part of his life and one day I know you will realise what you mean to him, this family and how much you mean to me, how much I have craved for your love and your attention, I will wait but whatever your feelings are for me hatred or love, I don't know but all I know is I accept it as not only are you my SIL but also like my mother.
Moti is touched and saddened even more and says to Santu...
Moti: Motiben, call me Motiben, this is our relationship, whenever Nanka misbehaves or upsets you, you come to me and then I will punish him, I have known him since we were little, he was always a naughty boy just like our Suraj, he is Malik of this village but he is still a human being with feelings that I did not understand. I am proud of him today where he is at in life, how hard he has worked and knowing he has you, that for me is enough, he needs to live his life and I will live mine, besides I have to focus on Moulik get him better and he needs his Father's love which he has craved, Nanka's loved him like his own but yet Moulik deep inside knew that his Father was out there somewhere and may be if things didn't happen how they did years ago, my Moulik would never have done the things that he has done and he would not be in the Mental Asylum, I focused on my hatred instead of what my family needed. Choro... I think you understand what I am saying...
Santu takes Moti's blessing and Moti puts her hand on her head and gives her her blessing and today she actually meant it. DM is choked up the two most important women in his life comforting and finally understanding eachother. DM wipes his tears and Moti walks up to him and strokes him on his face, DM bends down takes her blessings and gives his sister a hug. Brother and Sister don't need to say anything their actions speak louder than words. He takes her to the car opens the door, helps her in and closes the door. They hold eachothers hands and just smile to eachother, DM lets go and tells the driver to drive to Jumkumbaria and to travel safely and call once they reach their destination.

Borrowed from Sara's collection, couldn't find the song anywhere else xxx
Thoral is holding on to Hiten both trembling with sadness, they both understand DM's decision and understand how much work is needed in a marriage and the responsibilities that go with it. Shashank is wiping Khaddu's tears, Birwa is crying into Baa's bosom, Baa knows that Moti craves the attention which no one can give to her except that from her husband and if she doesn't go it could lead to the destruction of the house as her evil gaze is constantly on Sanraj's happy relationship and Santu holds the string that binds this family as one, this is best for both her daughter's happiness. Suraj is hiding behind Bapjui legs clinging on with his sadness not only is the witch leaving but he would miss her scouldings as this was his daily routine to get up to mischief with his Foi and then his Foi chasing him around the house shouting her bakwas, her getting puffed out and then giving up and moving on to Champakali. Champa is sad just stares at Moti as she was a Foi to her too, she has worked and lived in this house since she was just a little girl, memories of the day she first called her Afirca Ki Katrina crept into her mind, she was mean to her but she treated this meaness as Moti's love to her as being mean was the only way she knew but there were times she would see some sort of love towards her even when it was from the back of her hand when it reached her face and stung. This she won't miss but still....
DM and Hiten both go to the back of the car and push the car bidding farewell. Moti looking at the back of the car with tears in her eyes and looking at Khanji who looks at her sympathetically. Moti doesn't respond just looks at the front mirror at the vision of the MMansion and DM holding on to Santu.
DM turns around and looks the other way with tears in his eyes, Santu moves closer to DM and just holds his arm, pressing it and stroking it affectionately, DM looking into Santu's eyes for strength, Santu shaking her head to not cry managing a slight smile of her proudness of him she hugs him and DM hugs ber back tightly not letting go 😭
DM: Mere priya Santudi, do you not want to go inside? or are we going to stand here like this?
Santu: Hmm? Lets go home.
DM: Tu Chal (so come) and this is for you
DM pulls out a pink rose from his kurta pocket and hands it to his Santudi, Santu smiles back up at him, Sanraj walk in hand in hand into their home, DM kisses her on the head and and their family follow in behind them 😳

New Additions To
Mahiyavanshi Family
Part 15
5 years later
The Birds are chirping, the sun is shining, theres a cool breeze moving the curtains, the breeze travels over to Santu who is sleeping on DM's chest and with DM's arms around his wife. Santu shivers and DM wakes up feeling her movement, he notices this and covers her up more with the duvet cover and hugs into her closer. He looks at her lovingly and strokes her face and her long beautiful hair. He looks at the clock it is already 7am, knowing that a storm will hit them in the next few moments. Santu was tossing and turning all night. DM watching her face thinking about their 7 years of marriage, memories they share and the new memories to come. DM did this every morning, today was special as it was their 7th Wedding Anniversary. DM remembers their last wedding anniversary when they celebrated it was just Sanraj with their family. Sanraj decided that they would just celebrate anniversarys just as a family, no big functions so there were never any evil eyes cast upon the family ever since the incident that rocked the Mahiyavanshi family all those years ago (Bacteria not DM's son) which led to heartache and division of the family. They promised eachother that when they reached their 40th Ruby Wedding Anniversary, that day they would celebrate in style but til then just them and their little family 😳
DM: Mere Priya Santudi, are you not going to wake up today? I urgently need to talk to you, I want to ask you something urgent!
Santu: Kya Malik, bolu?
DM: Akeh kolo (open your eyes) and look at me.
Santu looks up and opens her eyes and gives DM a lovely smile.
DM: Ahhh, thats what I wanted to ask you for and I wanted to say bohot sundor lugrayeh mere priya Santudi (your looking very beautiful) Happy 7th Marriage Anniversary, I am very happy in life, in our life, this is because I have you to share it with, how much I love you and I have a wedding gift for you.....
Santu: How much do you love me and what is the present?
DM: Let me show you (moving towards her)☺️
Their bedroom door slams open and there is a hughe commission of laughter and movement going on. DM falls back on his pillow smacking his head saying....
DM: Eye Santudi, you forgot to lock the door again, how many times did I say make sure its locked then every morning we don't have to go through this. Get up show yourselves, ek, du, tin, char, pach....
2 small children jump up from underneath the bed and on to the bed and snuggle themselves between DM and Santu 😛😛
Prem: Papa, shoo, why do you always ruin our fun?
DM: Me ruin your fun, you ruin my fun!
Gauri: Maaaa, if your sleeping, me and Prem Bhaiya will go back to sleep and wake up when you wake up tickche.
Santu: Nai, Beta, me and Papa are just getting up.
DM: Areh, mere beti Gauri, take your brother and let Ma and Papa sleep, Mama hasn't let me sleep all night, I am really tired?
Prem: Kyu? What were you doing?
DM: Dikra, see my chapels down there, they haven't been used in many years I may need to use them today, I can practice my batting shots for when we have our monthly cricket match, Ma has a really good back hand but she never seems use it on any of her children?
Prem: Papa, I was joking but you'll have to catch me first, Pappa and Mama haven't slept all night, Papa is tired, hahahaha, Nana, Nani, Suraj Bhai, ha Suraj Bhai, lets get Suraj Bhai, Papa and Mama haven't slept all night.....
Gauri: Prem Bhaiya, Suraj Bhai is downstairs having breakfast with Hiten Bhai and Thoral Bhabhi, let's go but quietly we don't want to make too much noise.
Prem: Why? Everyones awake?
Gauri: Suraj Bhai, Suraj Bhai!
Sanraj have 5 year old twins, a boy and a girl named Prem and Gauri who go running out the room, DM jumps out of the bed and runs after them, this is DM's daily exercise.
DM: Areh Bucheh, rucko, rucko!!!!!! Santudi I will buy Gauri some small payals so we can hear her and Prem, I'm gonna put a cows bell around his neck so then I can hear him coming and I know what mischief hes cooking up (Laughing whilst running) 😆
Santu is in the bed laughing out loud
DM: You stay there and laugh, laugh and see what I do to you when I get back!
Santu stops laughing and gets out of the bed and moves to the bathroom 😛
Santu is moving down the stairs slowly, she has a smile on her face looking at her family at the table, Thoral is feeding both Prem and Gauri and Hiten and Suraj are both chatting with Moulik who has come to stay with them as he has rejoined the factory working along side Hiten with DM observing them both. Today Santu has come down late, she is not feeling well. DM walks out after her catches up and says
DM: Shoo whats wrong? 😲
Santu: Kuch nai (Its nothing) I think I ate something bad yesterday.
DM: What I have I said about eating old food, not to eat old food, eat only fresh food, your looking weak, come and sit at the table have some water and eat some fruit. Champa!
Champa: Ji Malik.
DM: Cut some fresh fruit and bring it here and make sure Malikin only eats fresh food, if not you will have to answer to me!
Champa: Ji Malik, I will make sure Malkin eats properly.
Baa: Dharamraj, eat your breakfast, Santu will be ok, she needs to rest and take it easy, we are all here to look after her, you and the boys go to work.
DM: No Baa, I will stay home, Santudi didn't sleep much last night, she was tossing and turning, shes not feelin well. Hiten, Moulik you both go and phone me if there are any problems.

Moulik: Santu Ma is right Papa, once you have had your meeting, you can come home, me and Hiten Bhai are there, we will take care of the factory today.
Hiten: Papa, eat up and we'll go besides the factory is closing early today, you gave the workers half the day off.
Thoral: Sassuma, Gauri and Prem came down talking about you and Papa not sleeping and we all thought something very different (Thoral laughing to herself and winking at Santu)☺️
Birwa: Bhabhi, please leave Ma and Papa alone, anyway Ma, I'm going to College and I will see you later on this evening and I wanted to wish you and Pappa HAPPY WEDDING ANNIVERSARY (kissing Santu on the cheek and hugging DM)😳
Suraj: Ma, I made this card for you and Papa, I hope you like it, I have a surprise for you later on ok.
Santu gives Suraj a big kiss and a cuddle and says it beautiful and one day he will become a very good artist and when he does, he will paint a family portrait of them all and they will keep it where their existing family portrait stands at the top of the stairs. DM and Santu in the centre sitting down next to eachother with the family around them 😊

Part 16
Continued.....
The house has been decorated top to bottom with flowers and decorations. Moti turned up at lunchtime with Kanji and she was in charge of the preparation for the family celebrations. Moti has changed in these 5 years, she and Kanji are happily married and she has begun wearing her mangulsutra and sindoor on her maang. Shashank, Khaddu, Meghna and Rasik turned up at the same time. Meghna brings in the fun and rukas and says "lets get this party started" DM and Sumil Bhai came home after the meeting and kept themselves amused in the Angan talking business and family news.
Santu brings out cold drinks for everyone and tea for DM.
Santu: Malik Chai.
DM: Hmm, Chai.
DM pours the tea into his saucers, smells it and then takes a long sip and looks at Santu with a smile 😳
DM: Saras, tere hatt ki Chai, aur ek cup deh (your hand made tea is beautiful, give me another cup) DM says this everytime he drinks his tea. 😳
Santu pours more tea into DM's cup and offers some to Sumil Bhai who complement Santu's tea.
Sumil Bhai: Dharamraj Bhai always goes on about his special tea and today, I have tasted it and there are no words to describe it Bhabhi, bohot Saras Chai (very beautiful tea) 😳
DM smiles at Santu and tells her to go and get dressed, he will be up soon.
SANRAJ BEDROOM
DM went up to their room to get dressed and opended the door to see Santu in the saree he gave her to wear today and the beautifully made diamond necklace and earings which he himself designed and made with his own two hands with love and care. DM just breathes in and out gasping at her beauty. He locks the door, pushing backwards and forwards checking that its definitely locked 😆
Santu: Malik what are you doing?
DM: Ah, nothing, just checking it doesn't magically open when I come over to you, ha its ok, it won't open.
DM walks over to Santu and stands behind her infront of the mirror. Santu looks at him and blushes when she can see his face and his approval. Santu turns round and takes his blessing and says Happy Marriage Anniversary and hugs him. DM holds his Santuduri very tightly in his arms not letting go says Happy Marriage Anniversary and tells her to come and sit down for a while before the mad rush starts. DM sits down in his favourite chair and Santu sits down on his lap. They just sit there in silence Santu's arm around his shoulder, DM's around her waist and their free hands entwined in one ☺️
Suraj: Ma,Pappa, come downstairs, Meghna Marsi has started the party and your both the main guests and your not there, come quick 🥳
Santu jumps up off DM's lap and walks out the room with Suraj and DM follows behind.
PARTY GOING ON DOWNSTAIRS - Singing, dancing, Antakshari, games, cutting cake and Suraj giving his parent a video of them over the years that Suraj and Birwa made from the first days Santu came to the house to the moments of today. Everyone laughing at DM's singing, his dancing and his joking. This was the highlight of the day watching memories that they all shared together in that house 🥳🤪
Prem: Why are me and Gauri not in this video at the beginning Maa, did you forget us?
EVERYONE BURSTS OUT LAUGHING AND DM JUST SMACKS HIS HEAD, DUFFORD!!!!! 🤪
SANRAJ BEDROOM
NIGHT
Sanraj are sitting in their room getting ready for bed.
DM: So I gave you my present, wheres mine?
Santu: I have a present but I don't know if you'll like it and you will have to wait for it?
DM: Wait for it? How long do I need to wait?
Santu: From my calculations 6 months.
DM: Why 6 months?
Santu: Because 3 months have already passed and there is therefore 6 months left before it comes?
DM: What comes?
Santu: Your present, well it's your present to me also.
DM: Give me a clue.
Santu: 1) 3 months have passed
2) 6 more months remaining
3) I may get a bit emotional and be throwing up alot
4) I won't be able to run around much
5) I will be getting rounder
6) There are sleepless nights ahead and for may be another year or so
DM: This present doesn't sound good, what is it, tell me?
Santu: Dharamraj Mahiyavanshi, I have given you 6 clues, I give you 6 seconds to guess!
Mumberling to himself, twitching his mooche, looking perplexed, his head comes up and ping, BINGO...
DM: Is this true, you're not joking?
Santu shakes her head and smiles, DM jumps up from his chair and hugs Santu, sits her down on the bed and he sits next to her holding her hand.
DM: This is why you have not been feeling well?
Santu: Yes Malik, we are expecting a baby in 6 months time, Baa and Bapuji know but knowone else, I wanted to tell you first but when I started to throw up, Baa and Bapuji were with me and then Baa said she knows whats wrong with me and I did a pregnancy test and it came out positive.
DM: All good deeds and patience gives you good rewards in the end. Today I am the most happinest man in this world and this happiness you have given to me again. This is another symbol of our love and I can't express this feeling bubbling inside of me, I have one question..
Santu: Kya Malik?
DM: Dikra aur Dikree? (Boy or Girl) what if its twins again that must come from your side of the family definitely not mine?
They both laugh thinking about Prem and Guari, Prem is naughty but always protects his Ma and Papa just like DM he has a mole on his left cheek and DM's way of talking and actions, Moti says Prem is carbon copy of DM at this age, Gauri is sweet and cute resembles just like Santu in characheristics and looks, every morning she follows Santu around the house and tries to help Santu with her chores but she is easily persuade by Prem to do dares but realises when to stop. The one thing they always do without question is take blessings from their elders and pray at pray times and when DM tells them to stop, all DM needs to do is put his hands on his hips and his disappointed face and then both children stop and hold their ears for forgiveness, this DM loves as this reminds him of his Santudi his dufford.
Santu: As long as the baby is like you, I don't mind boy or girl.
DM: So, whose going to tell Prem and Gauri?
Santu: We will wait when the baby arrives in 6 months time, let them rule until then. I am sure Prem will have a hundred questions and those questions you will have to answer as I cannot take tension as I am the one carrying our baby.
DM and Santu lay down on the bed, Santu laying on DM's shoulder arm around Santu and DM's hand on her belly. DM kisses Santu on the head and DM sings to Santu his song which makes her laugh all of a sudden theres a crash at the door and bounce on the bed.
DM: Arey, I think I need to actually take down that door and fit in a new one before this baby comes.
Prem: Papa, what baby, whose baby?
Guari: We are Mama and Papa's babies a long with Suraj Bhai, Hiten Bhai, Khaddu Di, Birwa Di and Moulik Bhai as well.
DM: A big change is coming in 6 months so be ready.
Prem: Change, 6 months, how longs 6 months?
Gauri: Prem Bhaiya, Papa is teasing, let's go to sleep. Ma can we sleep in your bed today?
Santu looks at DM, DM nods ok.
DM: Tickche, just for today, tomorrow your own bed, chal get in.
Santu takes her jewelly off and DM changes his Kurta and they get into bed. Prem and Guari in the middle, DM covers them all up and lays down looking at his children and at Santu who is looking at DM, DM holds on to Santu's hand and holds it tightly and smiles at her. Santu smiles and looks at the children and falls asleep. DM lays there looking at his children and at his wife, they all look so peaceful when they are asleep so much innocence picture perfect and DM thanking Gaurimaa for everything she has given to him, the biggest thanks he could give was bringing Santu into his life and the two beautiful children that lay next to them and also for the child that is coming, DM closes his eyes and dreams away and then he opens his eyes again and says to Santu
DM: Santudi, I think we are going to have to buy a bigger bed as well as a new door?
Santu: Malik Upp be na, go to sleep!
Sanraj laugh together, DM leans over and kisses Santu and looking at eachother other fall asleep 🥱
Sanraj and their perfect family lived happily ever after and Sanraj celebrated their 40th Ruby Wedding Anniversary and wait for it their 50thGold Wedding Anniversary if my grandad could celebrate his 60yrs of marriage at the age of 101 so can DM at the age of 100 for his 50yrs of marriage to his Santuri 😛

Salam,
Just wanted to say a big thanks to all my friends who took their time to read my FFs all 16 of them and leaving me all your wonderful comments which really did put smile on my face and that you all came back to read more. Too bad it had to end as I was actually enjoying writing these FF, I work part time now as a Paralegalist after having my son and although I am busy, I still had some time to sit and type my FFs which really took me back to when I used to write short stories and literature when I was at College and University when I studied English Literature and Law but over the years my spelling, grammar and punctuation has got soo terrible that maybe I need to go back and refresh. A big thanks to my cyber friends and bless you all for baring with my lengthy posts.

I know my posts are really lengthy, I remember posting one day that I can never say anything once but when I do say something it take me forever to say it, thats me!!!! Dufford!!!!!!
