RVji looked at the gate as some one was coming in. The one was a girl probably age around 20 and had her hair which was not that short but medial left off. Her face had a serene look with a type of innocence in her face.
The girl came to him and said "Jee, Mian Radhika(I am Radhika), I came for Bharka"
RV ji immediately recognized the name " Tum Radhika, Bharka ki best friend. Bharka humesha tere baarein mein bolti hain. Nice meeting u"(U are Radhika,Bharka's friend, Bharka always talk about u, nice meeting u)
Radhika:Ji Bharka aapke barein mein bhi bahut kuch bolti hain. (Yeah Bharka Bharka always sued to talk of u)
RV can't place but there was some thing different,.now her face don't hold that innocence expression at all, it had some difference which RV can't place/ RV asked "Beti tum thik ho"(Are u all right)
Radhika in her mind "Kaisi thik ho sakhi hoon jab tum meri saamen khadi ho"(How can be, when u are in front of me) but out side said : Yes I am fine
RV :Thik hain beti, Bharka upar hain aap jayiye(Fine, Bharka is upstairs. U go)
Radhika:Thanks.
Radhika went inside, different feelings are running through her mind. She looked at the side wall to find the hand prints of different bahu's of that house. The one at the last and the one which was some what fresh compared to others. Radhika went near it and adoringly ran her hand through it. She immediately took her hand off out of the fear that some may recognize her.
Radhika went up the stairs and looked for Bharka, she can't place for her room. Then a woman in a lavish modern green sarree wearing high heels came near her. "Hey who are u"
"
I am Radhika, I came for Bharka"
Soniya:Oh, I am Bharka's bua soniya, u call me soni.
Radhika smiled to her self and said "Namastey, can u show me where's Bharka"
Soniya:Oh yeah, follow me u can get her.
Radjika:Okay.
Soniya led Radhika into Bharka's room and Bharka hugged Radh as she saw her/
Radhik returned the hug and Bharka started her exhibition ...
Radhika didn't have that patience so she immediately took a set that matched her dress and Bharka liked it .
Radhika:Tum aaj tak bhi apna selection karna nahi seekha!(U didn't learn ur selection till today)
Bharka:Aise kaise, Maine selection seekha na is liye Dev ko select kiya. Waise bhi mujhe mere selection se jyaada tere selection par bharosa hain(I did learn hence I selected Dev as my Life partner. Any way I believe more in urs than mine)
Radhika:Kabhi kabhi dusron par itna depend karna achi nahi hoti hin bharka(Always depending on other to extant is not good Bharka)
Bharka;But not in case of u.
Radhika smiled. ...
Bharka:Hey Dev aapki college mein hi pad raha hain jaanti ho(U know, Dev studies in ur college)
Radhika:I know
Bharka;Kya baat han haan... (What is the matter haan.)
Radhika:koi baat nahi. But he love some other na, then mujhse koi baat ho bhi kaise sakhti hain(When he love some other, how can there be some matter with me)
Bharka:Vo toh hain, but obviously one day he had to love me, that was or sure'
Radhika:Best of luck
Bharka:Luck always mera hi favour karti hain. aakhir ek princess ka nahi toh kiska karegi(Luck favours me always, whom will it favour instead of a princess)
Radhika:Haan luck ek princess ka hi favour karegi
Bharka:U know what today Dev is coming. I wanna be all of my best. He should flat as he saw me
Radhika in her mind "Bharka please stop i am losing my control yaar"
BHarka: And u know what today I will surprise taavui\\
Radhika:Hain na, jaldi jaakei tayar ho jaao, its already 6:30(u wanna do na, get ready, fast up. Its already 6:30)
Bhrka:Yeah I am going.
Radhika waited in her room as she came out , Radhika adjusted every thing. and it was set right, Bharka had the jewellery on her and Radhika made someblemishes to her, while the beauticians gave some hair style to her.
By then it was 7:15. Bharka looked her self in the miror and told to her slef "U are superb"
Radhika looked at Brk in all around she had a red colours joda on her with the front pallu and another red colour chunri like piece came on her left shoulder to the front and from back it's other end came on to the right hand of bharka hanging loosely on her wrist to the down. there was a matching necklace set and bangles and also headpiece, jhumki's/ giving a raidiace of princess. Radhika too said to her self 'Perfect"
As the announcement for Bharka arrived she left down and Radhika let into another room beseide for her changing/
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Down at the party place, Bharka arrived down from the marble steps and stood beside her tavuji. Dev looked at her and said to him self "Good achi dikh rahi hain. lekin thoda sa over hua."(Looking good, but some what extra) Rohan though to him self "Radhika kaha ho, bore ho raha hain"(Radh where are u I am boring)
as the party began Dev was talking with Rohan when from up another girl came down. Radhika wore a turquoise dress that had a very good anrkali model top having a good work at the neck level and below was a broad frock extended upto an inch above the knees and the hands extended upto the wrist with a good work covering the net( may be I can say exactly her dress on the holi episode when she dance with Dev) and the very turqouise bottom and the small net duppatta hanging loosely on her two hands./Her hair was left loosely and the curls on her hair adding an extra attraction. she had a small chain with a heart pendant on her neck and jhumkis with white stone on her ear that extended to length of her chin,a small bindi studded with stones was completing her face .
Dev lost in trance as he loooked at her and Rohan signalled with his hand as superb. Radhika ignored all this and came to stand near Bharka. She gave her gift to Bharka and Bharka smiled saying Thanks. But inside she was fuming with anger on the very Radhika/
Radhika who talked with the familiar faces there saw a person who was much more familiar to her she went to him and said "Mama ji"
Rishikesh turned to look her "Radhu"
Radhika:I didn't expect u here.
Rishikesh:I too didn't expect u here, but happy to see u.
Radhika:Haan Bharka ne call karke bholi to aana hi pada
Rishikesh:me too , RV called me, he said That I should come for must
Radhika:Vishaka kaisi hain(Hows Vishaka)
Rishikesh:As usual best .Tum kaisi ho
Radhika:I am fine
Rishikesh:I should admit dear u are beautiful
Radhika:Actually mere paas aur kuch dress bachi nahi. mere saari dresses delhi mein hain yaha jo bhi hain vo toh bahut khimat wali hain,which I can't dare to wear here.(Actually didn't have any other dress, all my dresses are in Delhi. And very few dresses I had here were heavy gaarish ones, which I wouln't prefer to wear here)
Rb frowning "Radhika tum khimat ke liye dar rahi ho?"(Are u fearing becoz of cost?)
Radhika:Spear it off, its not their in my dictionary, but I think these people are not eligible to see me in my elegant dresses.
RB:Tum kabhi nahi badlogi. I mistakened
Radhika:Haan RB I will never change for any thing or any one. She was looking at DEv who was standing near to her in a blue kurta.
RB : Aur Shanthi sab kaise hain.
Radhika:As usual... aur Vishaka didi and ruby didi?
RB: U calling Vishaka and Ruby Didi?
Radhika:Haan actually I am trying to be some what typical Indian in my wording regarding Relations.
RB:I wonder u can ever be like that
Radhika:I too. But haan RB kaisi hain, as usual dashing right.
RB:Radhika u are using the word Dashing for a girl??????
Radhika:Yeah it will use RB for sure. She is the twin of Vishaka na, but I always used to laugh at their total opposite ness. Vishaka bubbly but not that courageous as RB. I never saw her, but upto where u and Vishaka bolte hain na I can figure out.
RB: She was more like u
Radhika:May be...
Rb thought for a minute but he immediately bounced back from his thoughts..."By the way Radhika"
Bharka came in middle "Mamaji! U know Radhu"
Radhika gave a caught up look RB looking at her told Bharka "Yeah Vishaka ki dost hain ye "
Bharka:Vish ki dost
Radhika:Yeah, I know her in campus.
Bharka:Yeah I forgot, she is ur senior now right. By the way Mamaji, taavuji aapko bula rahe hain
Radhika:Okay Uncle nice to meet u.
RB:Yes Radhika and she shaked her hand and moved alogn wiht Radhika
As he was moving on he turned back to wink Radhika and Radhika returned the same and signalled that she will call him. He smiled and moved off.Then happerned to be Dev came to her...
Radhika:Yeah Dev
Dev:U are gorgeous.
Radhika :Thanks ...
Dev: No mention
Radhika smiled and Dev too smiled. Radhika said to him "Dev I need to meet soem more"
Dev:hey yaar, u are behaving like it was the party ur own sister
Radhika:Aisa nahi, ye toh rawal hain na, main toh vrindavan mein hi rehti na, isliye I know many people./(Nothing like that, this is rawal and I am from Vrindavan, I know most of people who were here)
Dev:IF ever Raghuvansh ji see u doing this na he will miss his daughter for sure.
Radhika:Daughter??????
Dev:Arey haan abhi abhi mujhe pata chala, Raghuvansh ji ka ek beti hain jisko ye apni bach pan mein kho gaya. (Now only I came to know. Raghuvansh's own daughter, was lost in childhood)
Radhika thought to her self "Jhoot, she wasn'tt lost she left him out of her hatred"
Dev: Kya soch rahi ho
Radhika:Kuch nahi
By then Bharka came there...
Bharka;Hey Dev
Dev:Happy birthday dear... he handled her the gift and she smiled
Bharka:Radhika tum yaha ho
Radhika looked at her frowned but seeing the expression on her face she understood "Haan Bharka"
Bharka:Kya baat hain. U are more gorgeous than me (In a mockign way)
Radhika getting frustated "Bharka jhoot bolne ka bhi ek had hota hain. Me gogeous than u , no way
Bharka:Dev tum batao
Radhika:I had some work I am leaving...
Bharka:Rukho kaha jaayegi tum? Bataop Dev(Stop where are u leaving. U say Dev?)
Dev:Mujhe kaam hain aur aapka ye jo problem hain na aap khud solve kariye.(I had work, I am elaving u people solve ur problem)
sayign that he left. Bharka came to Radhika and said "Kyun, why did u dress ur self this good.:"
Radhika;Aisa kuch nahi, I dressed so simply na.
Bharka:U know I wanna be the centre of atracttion U leave now and change please. warna people will start confuse who is b'day baby.
Radhika felt hurt but she remained her self in peace and nodded. Bharka left from there as some one called her and Radhika standed there. Anger was fuming inside her, but she was controlling. Memories were flashing infront of her... her childhood every thign and eveyr thing. Her anticipation for her father when she was 4 year old. Every night sleeping with the thought that his father will come back to her and take her along with him to the so called paradise. But one day every dream , every dream infront of her broke off ... That day she knew that her father was not even one inch good of the person who she imagined him to be... that night she came to knwo how much her mother suffered ebcoz of that devil,, that ngiht she came to knwo that he was nothin less than a devil... that day was the night when she cried for the first time in her life, with out having less marks. from that ngiht till this night every night she creid, she cried and cried and cried. Life which she thought to be a happy blossoming life became a hell, she was being tortured being tortured by the ones whom she thought to be her., being tortured by the ones whom she thought to be a good ones , being tortured by the ones whom she thought to be the ones who love her self lessly, being tortured by the ones whom she considered to be her life... being tortured by the ones for whom she left her paradise and came for them. beign tortured by the ones for whom she can even give up her life... and now another two tortures added up for her one was Bharka and another was her love, . Seeing her love inches away from her and not able to reahc him was the real torture for any girl. Knowing thta her best friend loves the one whm she lovwes and wanna get him out of any cost despite knowing thta she love him. But Radhika still didn't feel any tears in her eyes... why? she soem times even wondered that the tears in her eyes all got dried up and her lacrimal glands stopped to function??? at the time she wanna cry a loud but she controlled her self but still she wanna cry. every time she was able to control it, but today she was keeping more efforts than she used to keep but still why? why wasn't the volcano was controling, why was it getting ready to burst. why???????? Radhika was questionin her slef with the veyr word since five years but the answer she can never get. "Is he that bad as u think? Yes he is bad.. but the people u are livng wiht now are also bad!!! but atleast there is one person here whom I can say that love me truly. Can I ever say it after having these all incidents in her life. She even used to doubt her shannu and daaima that they were also faking lov wiht her. does they? Radhika had no answer. Can Radhika ever haqve any answer she doesn't know. She wondered some times, why Kanha only test those who loves him most. Why? but she had no answer for that too. She thought to her self can i get any answers for any of these questions in life time, she doens't have answer. She wondered to her self why she was thinkign of all of it now. even she had o answer for that... She felt like the lights around her becoming dazed, she felt like the surroundings around her were reeling, but no then she got recognised the she her self was geting reeled. She tried to fight, but today she know she can's fight, Finally she gave up."
Rohan who was in a red kurta saw Radhika feeling some thing wrong... he can sense it. He thought to himself "Some thign wrong" The he saw her falling down he immediately ran to her and got hold of her. He was saying "Radhika vuto... Radhika vuto..."
Radhika opened her eyes she looked around she can see Rohan, she can see bharka, She can see RB evenm but where is Dev, she was trying to get him then appeared a face gettign in she knew it was the same face it was the face she longed every day o see it was the face she loved veyr much after that of her mothers, it was that very childish innocent face of DDev, her Dev. She managed to give a fiant smile and got into her womb again.
Rohan had some hope when Radhika opened her eys, but again she went off, went off into her deep sleep, He looked at RV who arrived there, he had some anger in hsi eyes,. RV was not in a state to observe, but only two peope observed one was Dev he can't place why Rohan was lookign at Raghvansh ji this anger, and second was RB he knew the reson, btu he knew even this wasn't the first time. He placed the hand on Rohan's shoulder enough to make him get that he was here and said silently "Chalo Rohan we need her get in."
Bharka was least concerned of all she felt it as a disturbance to her party and she was angry on Radhika. She was lookign at Dev who was lookign concerned... and also Looked at Rohan her anger was raising now.. "All these days I thought of her to manage of with Rohan only, thats why i didn't came in to between friendship of Radhika and Rohan but today lookign into eyes of Dev she understood that he lov Radhika, that was the reason which made her fumes raise. He looked at another person who was more concerned of Radhika it was her mamaji, the divorced husband of soniya Rishikesh Bharadwaj fammous RB. She thought to herself "Why in the name of Ram chandra ji Maamaji was more interested in Radhika"
RVji how ever was concerned to see a girl who was drawing his attention wiht the familiar nehaviour of his wife was more concerning him. "She was looking more like vydehi and indeed behaving like her. For a minute I felt like my vydehi stood infront of me when she came tonight in the party but? whhy in the hell she falled down, she was gloomy since form time she came here, there was a type of expression in her face which I can't make out. It looked more like anger to me than fear. But why??????"
Dev was running along with Rohan and Rb giving support to them but inside he was fearing "Kya hau hogi Radhika ko. Aaj mng se hsi kuch alag sa reh rahi hain. If I leave the lie she told abt me she was the best girl whom any one would like and she was a girl who would try to find happiness even in chaos. Indeed that was the thng that made me love her , but even her happiness looked like a tool to conceal her sadness. However that sadness can profoundly be found now if we see her face. But why?????/ What made her this sad. Earlier she talke with that man who was lookign like a buisness man in aa very close way. She even called him with his name if I am sure ... But how can she knew th man so closely . he lives in Bombay and he was even said tio be famous buisness man and he was indeed BIL of raghuvansh ji. How Radhika know him? Is she related to this family? On the name of Yamuna devi what was her surname, why she refused t o say me her surname when i asked her. and Jahan tak main yaad karta hun her mother had a big brother and an elder sister but why Radhika doesn't even mention their names, and why she always talk abt her choti maa only. and why the hell Rohan stared angrily on Raghuvansh ji?"
Rohan was holding Radhika, indeed he was holding her near to his heart he was holding the one whom he love near to his heart . But he was thinking of a thign in his mind "Radhika, I knwo why u again fall, that's why I warned u not to come here. But u came for this oye hello wali. Kyun apne aapko itni dard dete ho? Kyun Radhika. U know what I love u, I L:OVE U. But I can never tell this to u becoz u love some one. U love Dev./ Probably upto the day I didn't see him in ur house I dind't see his eyes adoring u I felt a ray fo hope, but that day I know that he love u too, But he can't love u more than me, but still he love u. I decided to keep my relation with u upto friendship only. But I am sure the day he know u completely he will love u more than me. U only say that Love was not to be taken it had to be given. I will give u Radhika, indeed I am fortunate that u bless me with ur friendship that was probably enough, and regard to this OYe hello I will never marry her if not it was u who asked me. For U even I will go to hell Radhika. Indeed why should I feel sad! U talk freely to me eveyr day, u share everythign of ur thoughts to me, and u say I am ur mirror, is any thign more needed that this. That day when I came to propose u ,, u said U love Dev before I even tell u, that made me know that what was my destiny is. I will tell u one day, but that day I wil also tell u another truth that the very day u said ur life was another one I left off my love on u and u was my best friend again as usual. I am loving u as a best friend, just I love my bua as my bua. But please for the sake of me u don't do this to u again.please..."
Rohan reached the hall way and Radhika was still in his hands he gripped her more tight and let her into one of the bedroom in the down stairs and made her lay... RV came to Rohan and aske "Beta, thank god u are there.. and I ordered the servants to call a DR. Rohan looked at him in brief, he wanna hit this man right now, btu controlled himself and said "Nahi uncle, I know her, she is my school mate, she had this problem when ever she feel stressed, and hence she carried a packet of her medicine in her bag. " He briefly caleld Dev and said "Dev, Radhika bag mein ek packet hogi brown clour can u get that for me"
RV:"But beta, that we can't rely always
Rohan:Chill uncle, she is also a medico... don't worry and she know ayurvedic indeed.
Rv:Butt/////////
Dev:Roha here u go , Dev brought Radhika's bag from the drawing room and gave it to Rohan. Rohan too it and searched the bag for the packet. As he found it he though to himself "Yes I guesed, right. May be Radhika too know she will be stressed."
Rohan took some powder and kept it near her nose and some on her head. She woke up coughing and Rohan immediately handled her a glass fo water. Radhika said drinkign it "Arey, a glass of water nahi I wanna full jug of water."
Rohan smiled and said 'Even now u won't loose ur humour " and gave her the jug. She immediately took it up and drank it out then she recognised she was where and surrounded by whom... She immediately woke up from the bed and said "Sorry, I really disturbed the party sorry."
RB smiled and said "U will neevr change, A small disturbance won't harm look on to ur self okay. Right RV"
RV:Right RB and yes, beti tum aaraam karo. Nothign is more imp. than our lives and merely not at all a party.
Bharka rose her head in disbelief thinking wether it was her dream or her taavuji such mei vo baatein kaha.Indeed so was the reaction of every one around there except Dev.RV smiled and said her "Beti tum aaram karro"
Radhika:Thank u I can manage m self, u people please continue.
RV:Aisa nahi
Bharka interrupted:Nahi taavuji when she was saying she can, she will... We will go.
RB looked at her in anger and so at soniya who was standing there reluctantly s if accepting what Bharka said. Rv said "Nahi Bharka>..."
Radhika:I doesn't wanna disturb Bharka's party becoz of me, I am fine and will come with u all to partici[ate.
RV:Nahi nahi, tum yahi rukho , U need rest.
Radhika nodded her head...
RB:RV I will stay here, I can share some time with her.
RV:Are u sure?
RB:Yeah of course...
Radhika:Thks uncle but I can manage,
Rb:U shut up and sleep, I will be here.
Soniya feeelign all it as rubbish "Shall we leave bhaiyya."
RV:Thik hain...
As they all left Dev came near her and said "Are u okay"
Radhika:yeah I am fine and Shannu ko kuch mat bataayiye, and tum bhi jaao.
Dev:Rohan aao na
Rohan:Tum jaao Dev, Main aavungi
Dev;Thik hain
Radhika:Rohan I am sorry
Rohan: I said u na, why always u do this to u
Radhika:I knwo I am wrong but U knwo me too
Rohan:Yeah, take rest I need to go, other wise hitler will kill me
Radhika:Yeah tum jaao, mere saath RB rahega
Rohan looked at Rb who was assurng and said "Thanks uncle."
RB:No Rohan I should Thank u,. u are helping Radhika a lot in this hell. Thank u
Radhika:ab ye thank u kaa baat bahut hua, tum jaao.(Now this thank u whank u limit is exceeding. U leave)
Rohan left winking at Radhika and Rb closed the door and came
