Chapter 187- The Temple Festival, The Packing

Suman was busy dressing up her students for the dance performance that day. Though the mother's of other two students were also there Suman was personally ensuring her students were looking good. Others in family were getting ready to go to temple. Vindhya had come back from her parents place one day before. Then Maheswari came.

" Suman are you not getting ready."

" Maa I don't need much time. I will dress up fast " told Suman.

" Yes your mother had told me. You will dress up everyone and don't spend time on dressing up yourself. But I am not going to allow that habit of yours here. The girls mothers are here, they will do what needs to be done. You go and dress up. " told Maheswari

" Maa.. Suman tried to tell

" Suman I am your mother in law and I expect my daughter in law to listen to me. Now go " told Maheswari

Suman nodded as she left Nami's dupatta, allowing Vindhya to take charge of her as she went upstairs. Maheswari looked at girl. She knew Suman was not that happy going up and most probably once she comes down she will check how her students were looking. She smiled as she went to her room.

Jyothi looked at Pritam. Two days back Pritam had gone to Jaipur to hand over the transfer certificate of Ramya and Reshma. He had met Sreedhar and Sreedhar had told what all arrangements had been made. Now it was upto to them how to go from the house without arousing suspicion.

" Pritam how will we go. You said we will tell I have check up. But we don't take Parul for check up right. Also how do we take the bags. We will have to take some minimum luggage." asked Jyothi

" Jyothi you start packing " Jyothi and Pritam turned hearing the voice. It was Bhavani standing at the door. She had a glass of milk with her.

" But Chachi how will we go. Didn't you hear Jyothi's concerns" told Pritam

Bhavani made both of them sit. " Jyothi drink the milk " she said loudly so that no one will try to peep into the room. Then she whispered.

" Jyothi tell Parul is not eat anything. She seems to have stomach problem. I will then ask you to take Parul to the doctor. These people will disagree and ask to give some home remedy. But Pritam you insist on taking her to doctor. Then just to stop the irritation they will agree. You three go with Jyothi having the most essential things in the hand bag. "

" But Chachi what about our luggage " asked Bhavani.

" That you don't worry. I have bribed one servant with a gold chain. He will bring the luggage to you in the bus stand."

" Chachi what if he takes the gold chain and cheat. You cant trust these people as they are very much loyal to Papa, Chachu and Bade Papa" told Pritam.

" I am not a fool Pritam after being here for twenty three years. I have told him, he will get the gold chain if he brings the proof that the luggage has reached you. So Jyothi once you get the luggage give a piece of your pallu in his hand. Also one more thing. Board Jodhpur bus from the bus stand. Get down at the next bus station and switch the bus to Jaipur. From there I feel you will get your train tickets to Delhi which Sreedhar will take once you reach Jaipur"

Jyothi hugged Bhavani and started crying " Thank you Chachi. I don't know when I will be able to repay you"

" Jyothi I couldn't save two of my daughters who were mercilessly killed in my womb. By giving me a chance to save your baby you have already repaid dear" told Bhavani as she took the milk glass and walked out.

Pritam closed the door as they started packing. They will move out from this place the next day.

" Bhabi sign here" told Sreedhar. He was getting signature of Renu, Vindhya on legal papers for the creation of subsidiary.

" Sreedhar cant this wait for tomorrow" asked Maheswari

" Maa it is already a bit late. I need to take these papers tomorrow morning itself to legal and if I don't do it now then we will come late after the programme and I might forget. Where is Sumanji. Now only her signature pending"

" I am here Sreedhar. Bring the papers " he turned hearing her voice. She was standing fully dressed at the base of stairs. Sreedhar stood stunned for a second before composing himself. In the light pink silk saree and kundan jewellery Suman was looking beautiful. He took the papers to the dining table and Suman followed him. Sreedhar was very much aware of her. He took a deep breath to ensure not to show his feelings.

As she signed the papers Suman knew what Sreedhar was feeling. She felt his one arm circling her waist, pulling her closer. His breath on her neck, his other arm trying to untie the dor of her blouse. Before her thoughts could wander she gave the papers back in his hand and went towards Nami not even looking at him. Sreedhar looked at her. He knew from the way she ran she could read all the thoughts in his mind.He took the papers thinking whether his thoughts made her afraid.

Maheswari was observing them. Though she felt Sreedhar was shocked a bit in seeing Suman she couldn't be sure, as he came to normal quite fast. But she was pleased with Suman's reaction. For the first time Suman showed indication that she was aware of Sreedhar's presence and she felt tensed about it as if she shouldn't be feeling that way.

Soon everyone reached temple. It was the time for evening aarti. As everyone stood in line for the aarti, Sreedhar's eyes darted across the crowd at Suman and she smiled at him as their eyes met. indicating her desire was in line with his. Sreedhar felt relieved.

Nice part... maheshwari wants sumi to get ready... poor sumi she didnt know it was only for sreedhar... sreedhar's look and sumi's reactions were penned beautifully... waiting for next part

Oh so the going away will be a secret until they are in a safe distance. Bhavani is jugadu. Though until they are safe and sound till they reach Sree there would be a tension. I hope they will reach safely. And hopefully Bhavani will not be tortured for helping Pritam. So Maheshwari noticed that Suman's notices Sree and interprets Suman's cautiousness as awareness of his presence. Will Vindhya realise what Maheshwari's intended by sending Suman to deck up? Will u be showing Tilak dropping poorni at her nanu's place and what happened at Vindhya's mayka? And pls do show more of Sudhir-Vindhya nok jhok.. its been ages since we read something on them..

Thanks Sandhya. Sree was bowled over which only Suman realized 😆😆

Bring Sudhir back na. Missing him. A family evening where everyone have fun together also will be nice. Its been ages since we have seen everyone talking n having fun together. Want to see rajshekar also involved. I want to see if MV hints about Sree n suman to him also? Won't that be a hard stone to break?

@Swati itna romance, a very interesting Jodhpur trip for the couple and all everyone want is Sudhir.

Chapter 188- Insensitive Remarks

Soon the dance performance started. The three girls danced gracefully to the song " Mor Panghat pe Nandlal Ched gayo re"

Vindhya was sitting next to Suman and throughout performance she nudged her one way or the other teasing her indirectly. But Suman kept her attention on the stage but her mind was not on the performance instead the few moments of intimacy she felt with Sreedhar. She was surprised she was feeling happy not uncomfortable at that feeling of closeness.

Sreedhar's condition was not different. Seeing her suddenly in silk saree and that colorful jewellery had awakened all his desires. Though he was composed his eyes were fixed not on the stage but on Suman. She had covered herself with pallu and Sreedhar wished she would let go of that pallu. Only when Sudhir nudged him his reverie was broken and he looked at his brother and smiled.

" Don't make it obvious Sreedhar. Lest Tilak Bhaiyya, Papa or anyone in the crowd notice"whispered Sudhir . Sreedhar nodded and looked at the stage where the performance was concluding.

Once the performance was over the girls came down where everyone congratulated them. Some ladies did come and appreciate Suman. But then there were ladies who were feeling uncomfortable in her presence.

Maheswari took Renu and went to meet the ladies who were not coming forth as matter of courtesy, while Suman and Vindhya talked with the group of ladies who had no issues with Suman.

Men were talking in their groups and kids playing around. Then someone called Vindhya and she went that side and soon Suman found herself alone. She just stood where she was standing not sure what to do.

" I didn't know Murali's wife is this beautiful". Suman heard the voice and turned to see a bunch of men leering at her. She looked around and saw everyone was busy in their discussions. She just moved behind.

" Yes it is a pity Murali died without having Suhaagraat with her. What a waste" told another.

" I completely agree to you my friend. He lost a splendid chance. If he had to die he should have enjoyed her" told the third one. Suman had tears in her eyes. She wanted to shout. But her voice didn't come. Even if she calls what will she tell. They were standing at a distance from her and were only commenting. She just moved backwards.

" Suman Varma don't you want to enjoy Suhaag Raat". Suman turned her face in disgust.

" What is the purpose of wearing all this colorful things if there is no one to enjoy to you" told the second

" Tell what you told once again " the man turned hearing the voice behind him. Sreedhar was standing. Suman could see his eyes were seething with anger.

" Sreedhar don't create trouble. Leave them". She began to walk towards where Vindhya was standing and talking and Sreedhar was about to follow her.

" See why did you come and disturb. Your beautiful bhabi was enjoying the talk on Suhaag Raat" and before Suman could stop Sreedhar had punched the man's face. The other two men held him. Suman knew she had no go but to call Tilak and Sudhir else things will go out of hand.

" Tilak Jethji, Sudhir Jethji please come" she shouted. Hearing her and seeing the three men now surrounding Sreedhar and punching him Sudhir and Tilak rushed. But then the two body guards Maya had sent came and took him out. Sudhir could see Sreedhar's one cheek was puffy and his lip was bleeding.

" What is happening here. Why did you hit my brother" shouted Tilak. Now everyone was gathered. Maheswari rushed to Sreedhar seeing his condition.

" We hit your brother. Look at what your brother has done the man showed his cheek which was also puffy"

" Bhaiyya they were telling obscene things to..."

" Suman did they speak obscene things to you " jumped in Sudhir before Sreedhar could complete. He didn't want anyone to hear Sreedhar addressing Suman as Sumanji.

Suman started crying and Vindhya and Renu went to her. " Suman tell us what did they tell " told Renu gently. Suman whispered those things to Vindhya and Renu.

" What did she tell Renu" asked Tilak.

" Tilak I cannot tell those things publicly.A woman's modesty doesn't allow that"

Tilak looked at the men, but Sudhir restrained his brother and he looked at the body guards.

" What were you doing. You were supposed to provide security to us. You come only if someone is manhandled"

" Sir because of the sound we couldn't hear what they were talking. Our apologies. We will take these men"

" We do not want to file any case. Just leave them " came in Rajasekhar.

The body guards left the men reluctantly. They looked at Sreedhar angrily as they walked off.

" See this is what happens when widows are taken out" told one lady to Maheswari

" Yaa yaa if she wears sringaar everyone will look at her and pass comments. That's why white is the best dress for them" told another.

" My bahu was wearing white when some goons came inside our house and attacked her. If every mother gives right upbringing to their sons it doesn't matter the girl wears white or color" told Maheswari her eyes blazing and the women cowed and dispersed.

Suman was silent throughout the return journey and Maheswari knew she was once again feeling guilty. She sighed. She thought she will talk to the girl once they were back home.
