The next day morning..
Radhika woke up and took the blessings of god by rubing her hands to her face and then looked at kanha's idol seeking his blessings.Then after she opened her locket to see the photo of shetal along with mohan and devki , she had tears in her eyes and then looked on the otherside of locet to find dev's photo. seeing dev's photo she find some twinge in her heart but soon came out of her thoughts and rushed to bath.
She wore a turquoise colour anarkali with her nothing except her locket and her kanha thread in her neck. She braided her hair loosely and walked into garden to take enough flowers for mandir and also for the aarthi in ghar. She kept the flowers plucked for house near mandir area with a note that she is leaving to temple.she then took her basket which had flowers for temple and walked towards temple.
The sun was not yet completely raised and it was nearly 5 in the morning , the birds were chirping in the sky and the cool morning air was spread around in the atmoshphere. Radhika walked towards temple enjoying all this which she was mising from a longtime.s radhika reached temple she found some one and temple which fasten her steps towards temple where she found dev taking of the old garlands and flowers.
Radhika was surprised to see Dev that morning at the temple "Aap"
Dev:acha ho tum aagaye agar altar ko open kar diya toh aha bhi clean karenge
Radhika:lekin aap itni subah mandir mein
Dev:wo kya hain ki maine aaj tora jaldi utaya isliye mandir aane keliye socha
Radhika:Ye achi hua ki aap mandir aane ke liye socha lekin ye sab kaam toh kyun kar rahe hain main karungi na ye sab aap ko karne ki kya jaroorat thi.
Dev:kyun main kyun nahi karsakte
Radhika:aap jaise bade ghar ki aadmi ko ye sab karne ki koi jaroorati nahi hain.
Dev:oh! toh tum bhi vahi badi ghar ki beti hain toh tum kyun kar rahe ho.
Radhika:main toh bas bhagwan ke sevak hun
Dev:Radhika main bhi vahi hun bhagwan ke saamne hum sab chote hain aur vunke sevak hi hain. is liye apna muh bandh karo aur kaam karna shuru karo. nahi toh aaj bhakt jan ko aarthi nahi milogi.
Radhika:lekin
Dev:no buts start doing its getting late
arey sabhi pnya tujhe hi nahi mujhe bhi todha sa punya paane do
Radhika finally gave up , but she was surprised to see dev waking up that much early.
Dev:radhika
Radhika:haa
Dev: Kya soch rahi ho
Radhika:tum bahut badal gaye ho
Dev smiled "wo kya ki main meri best friend ko 5 saal pehle vuski didi ke shaadi ke samay mein ye promise kiya ki main badaloonga. agar promise kiya vo bhi best friend ko promise kiya toh nibhana padega na"
Radhika:jee aap mere liye kiya promise ko itna serious maana''
Dev:haan
dev thought in his heart "akhir apne pyar jis ke liye main jee raha hun vuska baat nahi maana toh kiska baat maanunga"
Dev changing topic "main ye kal ki phool nikhaloonga aur nayi phool rakhunga tum jakar altar saaf kardo"
Radhika tying her dupatta :okay
Radhika:aap U.S mein har din mandir jaate hain
Dev:Koi shak
Radhika:vo toh bahut achi habit hain
Their conversation went on as they continued they work and by the time sun came out completely they Finished their work and satisfied with it they hi-fied each other.
"arey aaj mandir jyaada sundar dikh rahi hain"
listening to this radhika and dev turn back to see Shankar shastri standing there along with nandu
Radhika :"kaka vo kyun ki aj ardhika hi nahi , radhika ka friend bhi radhika ke saath mandir ko sajaya" sayng this she pointed to dev
Shastri:aap
"shastri ji ye mera chota pota hain" said the Dadima who just then entered the temple along with the purohith family and all the children.
Shastri ji: maaji aap aagyae, waise bhi ye dev hain
Dev smiled and bent to take blessings of shankar and shankar blessed him whole heartedly "jeete raho beta , waise bhi itni choti umr mein itna bhakti aur shradda bahut kam log mein hota hain"
Vaishali:Shastriji! utna taarif mat kariye mujhe bilkul yakeen nahi ho raha ki ye humaari dev hi hain jo U.S jaane ke pehle 8 bajne se pehle nahi utne wale hain.abhi bhi mujhe shak hai ki kya ye koi sapna hain
Dadima: kyun re aane se pehle hume blkar nahi aasakte hain kya, ye acha hua ki armesh ne jogging mein aakar tumhe yahan dekha.
Dev:nahi dadima main kya karoo jab main uth gaya tha ghar mein koi nahi utha tha is liye main kisi ko bool nahi paya
Dadima:kitni baje uthkar yaha aaya tum
Dev:4:30
Vivek:what am i hearing right well is it my brother dev whose saying this all.
rickie:why are u all this much surprised ite regular habit of dev na
Vivek:kya?
Soniya:haan aunty pata nahi kaise itni subah uthate hain ye dev hume kabhi shak bhi hota hain ki ye sotha hain yaan nahi. is liye hum isko nightrider ka naam liya tha
Ria:so we have to night riders in our batch
Rickie:doosra joun hain
asmi:as usual the best friend of first night rider
Rickie:ohh radhika
ab mujhe samajh mein aaya ki donom best friends kaise hua hain (winking at dev)
Dev:wo wo main toh ye sab habits paanch saal se hi kiya tha lekin radhika aur meri dosti 14 years se hain
Vasihali:kya koi hume batayega ki yahaan kya ho raha hain. Dev u habitted it from 5years lekin itni achanak kyun
Dev:Vo mai ne meri ek dost ko promise kiya ki main badaloge
Armesh:wow hume bina jaante tujhe itna achi dost kaun hain
Dadima:jo bhi ho vuska lakh lakh shukar hain. Kanha vuski har icha poorikar de.
At the same time radhika was praying standing near the altar folding her hands and closing her eyes "kanha , wo mujhe diya vachan ke liye badal gaya ha, kya vo bhi mujhse pyar kar rahe hain kanha?" sh opened her eyes as she heard some one hit the bell and turned back to see dev hittign bell and folding hands to kanha praying him.
Radhika saw remaining people too walking towards the altar and shastriji prepared everything for aarthi.He was ready to start aarthi and signalled radhika to start singing the aarthi. As soon as radhika start to sing aarthi everyone started flowing off in her pure voice filled with devotion, but there were 2 people who were found somthing strange. one dadima and other mrinalini. dadima loked at dev and saw him gazing towards radhika and lost at her. where as mrinalini noticed a change in the way of radhika singing when ever radhika sings there was only devoion in her voice but today mrinalini forund ye sort of hapiness in her voice the thing she was searching in her sister's song since 5 years.mrinalini found the return of the happiness of radhika which she lost since five years.
After the aarthi completed Radhika went near every one to give them prasad but she was stucked in between with the praises of every one . The whole vrindavan felt as they got thei koyal back after 6 months.
After coming out from group of praises she came to purohith family but was surprised to see Mr.Purohith along with them becoz she didn't see him before she started aarthi
Radhika:papa aap bhi aaya tha aj aarthi ke liye
Mr.purohith:meri bachi aarthi main ek bhi din miss nahi karonga ye baath tu jaante ho na radhu
Aaj tum ne bahut acha gaya that humesha se jyaada acha gaaya tha
Mrinalini:haan papa lekin kuch alag sa chamak dikha tha aj iski gaane mein jo main ne meri shaadi ke samay mein dikha tha . kya baat hain radhika aaj tum bahut kush dikh rahe ho
radhika's heart skipped ye bit as she sang not only for her kanha ut also for her love today but she contolled her self and said "aisa kuch nahi di, vo kya hain ki aaj mandir bahut achi tarah sajayi gayi hain, jaise tere shaadi ke samay mein humaara ghar sajaya gaya tha is liye main bahut kush hun"
Dev aakhir sajaya kisne maine
Radhika: na , na, dev babu hum ne sajaya ye mat bhoolo poori taarif aap par mat lo but any how thanks you and take ur prasad
dev grinned and radhika gave him prasad
vivek:sach much radhu aj tum bahut achi tarah gaaya tha
Radhika:thanks bhaiyya sab kanha ki leela hain
As soon as she comepleted her sentence all the friends gathered her and another round of applause started.Most of the apllause was from dev friends , Dev felt happy to see his friends praising his pyar in that way and thought to himself she is best. Dadima sighed to her self and said "tum log yaha 20 din rukhne wale hain sab taarif aj hi kardiya toh 19 dinn kya karenge thode store karo aur ghar chalo"
Soniya:dadi sach much we can't stop our selves
Vasihali:u can continue after going home she will come in an houre after helping shastriji abhi chalo
armesh:okay aunty yes i am very hungry.
Vasihali:yes chalo and radhika tum ghar aajao kahi ghumne nahi jao
Radhika : lekin papa aap se main ek poochu

Radhika:kya main aaj office aa sakte hain college bhi nahi hain bore ho rahi hain aur nandu bhi khelne ke liye evening aayega aur saari dost shopping ke liye jaane wale hain , kya main office aakar kuch kaam seekh lu

Radhika gave up knowing abt vaishali who is strict at food.
All waved bye to radhika and left to home but dev stayed over to help radhika
Radhika who smiled at the devotion of dev on kanha gave up and let him help her.
