hey!!! all its very late update but if you could still connect with...i'll be obliged to update ...
so here it goes...
Maan ...daadi called him massaging his scalp , his daadi's finger knew for sure some sorcery . It not only relieve his aching head but bring in the needed calmness and solace.
"hmm...", he hummed still under the smoothing spell of oil.
"Is something troubling you bete"...yes he was troubled and daadi knew it well, even if he pretend to be happiest man on earth. She was the one by their side when their parent died in an accident. That's the reason savitri devi was not only daadi but their daadimaa. She struggled all her life, having lost her husband and toddler to took care of. The lady managed all by herself .following demise of only son and daughter in law whom left behind them the two toddler .Thats the reason, all maan wants for daadimaa only happiness. Not even diminutive of misery. He shallowed the forming lump and managed his husk baritone "no daadi its nothing like that its just a headache".
Since the day maan and geet tied the knot , khurana mansion was so vibrant and jovile. She resuscitated the ambience as if she was bestowed with some magical wand to brighten their dull life and to bring out their inner self, which they weren't aware of if it existed, its wee existence after demise of their parent. Be it twin, maan and manan or daadi and even nakul's kaka. Now where ever you find him, kishore classical hits could be heard from his vibrating string of wizened vocal ,definitely not melodious . Again credit goes to geet her 24*7 ornated adulation and encouragement left the mansion with a rising star .
To add the missing flavor to their plain life, mannu was desi Tadka ,indeed replica of geet. Their blunderous recipe or horrible paintings or inventing Nai Dhun (new music) on their heirloom harmonium was mundane.
"In 8 months of your marriage its the first time you are having headache and you came to me instead of geet" daadi replied showing disapproval to his previous explaination...
"no daadimaa its nothing like that geet is bit tired today", mention of geet tiredness reminded daadi of her visit to doctor .
"Is everything fine beta what did the doctor said."daadi asked worriedly considering geet absence in morning too.
"Daadimaa manu fever is not down yet even after the medication and its taking toll on geet iam worried for both of them "he wanted to dodge the situation but he blurtted out trying to hold the forming tears.
"Daadimaa , are you free..." ,voice came followed by manan with oil in his hand"need a massage"manan intervention provided maan the needed space to compose himself.
"of course I'll give you one , but first you see manu her fever is not yet down ,troubling your bro alot"
Bro you still cry like baby",he bantered with smack on his shoulder staring at his adam apple which was screaming of his weeping, earned manan tough look "I had already medicated her and fever would be down in an hour" viewing the situation really serious.
"maan why don't you give him massage while iam doing your, its long time since...",even before dadi could complete maan was massaging his twin head . manan wasn't identical to maan but some neuron strings could still sense the stupendous emotion from far away.
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Knock !!! knock!!! Manan mocked while tapping the open door of geet room .as the sound reached her lobes she quickly wiped the tears and turned to his side.
"here it comes,he produced the medical reports what he had been hiding behind "naina asked me to hand this to you", grinning like an idiot he added , "and I didn't disclose this to anyyy one he stressed the last word." all rights are reserved to you"
He slightly pressed his hand to her cheek "it's the remedies to your now a days incessant tears"
She looked at him unsure of his riddles.he smiled uniting his arms as if holding a baby and smiling he left, the to be mother to feel life forming inside her.
avoid the mistakes...
critisim are welcome...but no scathing
