Hello once more all you Dev-Kaajjal fans 😃 I'm back with my next installment for my ff. It looks a lot longer here than what it did when I wrote it 😕 😆 This part is all about Dev finding a job, so hope you all enjoy it. Do leave comments and feel free to offer any suggestions. 😊
Chapter 3 - Dev's New Start
Rain came pattering down outside in thick sheets, drumming into the ground with a steady beat. The whoosh of the curtain of rain drops as it swept over the cottage made Kaajjal shudder as she gazed out of the window. On the hob the chai was beginning to bubble and its hiss seemed to be in competition with the pleting of the rain as it hit off the glass window pane. Titling her head back Kaajjal turned her eyes up to the murky sky, a canopy of steely grey clouds that hung low over the town. The branches of the trees in the courtyard were bending over as the leaves doubled under the weight of the water accumulating in their shallow hollows. Every now and again they would unleash a waterfall of torrent raindrops onto the unsuspecting goats grazing underneath. This comical sight brought a smile to Kaajjal's face and as she poured the chai she wondered why they persisted on standing under the tree when they were sure to get wet again.
When she entered the dining area Dev was engrossed in his perusal of the newspapers, intently pouring over some article on the state of the stock market. She smiled amusedly at him and placed the chai down in front of him with a small cough to alert him. He looked up with a slightly surprised expression, his eyes dilating and deepening in their shade momentarily. Seeing her grinning down at him his face creased into a tender smile and folding the paper he leaned over and kissed her on the forehead.
"You're looking very pretty today," he told her with a glint in his eyes as she sat down at the table. "Is today special?" he asked, looking worried.
"Of course today is special," she replied, rolling her eyes at him. "Come on Dev, how can you forget? You have your interview for the radio station today."
"I hadn't forgotten that," he assured her.
"Good," she answered. "But Dev, I'm worried about you going in all this rain. Your suit will get soaked through and you might catch a terrible cold."
Anxiety had her brow furrowing and she looked at him as if he were about to stake his life. Dev couldn't hold back the mirthful laughter and his eyes glittered with it as he threw his head back and chuckled away to himself. Indignant Kaajjal rose from the table and shot him a scathing look.
"Go ahead and laugh at me!" she snapped. "I apologise for being such a caring wife. Go! Go on, go and get wet and catch neumonia!"
Tossing her head in the air she went to stalk off but Dev caught her wrist and pulled her down onto his lap, wrapping his arms about her tightly. Displeased she pushed at him, insisting he let her go, but he ignored her complaints and rested his chin on her shoulder with a broad smile.
"Rooth na jaana..." he began to croon very softly.
The velvety tone of his voice melted her anger instantly and blushing she lowered her eyes, smiling coyly.
"Dev!" she sighed. "Tum bhi nah!"
"I'm sorry for laughing Kaajjal," he apologised. "Lekin kya kare? Sometimes I can't believe how lucky I was to get a wife like you."
She gave a small laugh and jumped up from his lap. Turning she smiled down at him with t
winkling eyes.
"Why thank you Mr Dev Pratap Singh," she began in a playful tone, "But right now this perfect wife has to perform her wifely duties and point out to you that you are running late."
Rising Dev collected his jacket and briefcase. Kaajjal approached him and preformed a small aarti for his success before straightening his tie and dusting down the shoulders of his jacket.
"There," she said with satisfaction. "You look perfect. Now remember to take the umbrella and avoid all the puddles on the way there. Oh, and Dev, please take care of your health."
"Kaajjal!" he laughed, "I'm only going for an interview not to some forgein country. I'll be fine and I promise, no puddles and no getting wet, okay?"
She made a sound of agreement, pursing her lips and moving her head from side to side in reluctant acquiescence. Relieved Dev gave her a smile, kissed her quickly and then left. Standing at the door she watched him disappear into the curtain of rain with an anxiously thumping heart. When he had been engulfed in the murkiness of the shower she gazed up at the sky, frowning at the darkness of the clouds, which seemed to be multiplying by the minute. Uttering a silent prayer for Dev's safety and his success she went back inside, knowing that the next few hours would drag by until his return.
Gradually the morning wore away and the rain evaporated. Around mid-day one shaft of golden sunlight fought its way through the army of purple clouds. Like a soldier struggling through the trenches it tore through the thick mass of cloud and with triumphant pride beamed down at the earth. Slowly more and more of the cloud receded and eventually a round and hazy sun was visible in the sky. The odd grey cloud floated by but patches of deep azure began to appear like missing pieces in a jigsaw puzzle. The stickness of the morning turned to sweltering heat and as Kaajjal waited on the porch for any sign of Dev down the grassy path she had to keep fanning herself with a braod leaf that had fallen to the ground during the storm.
After what felt like hours waiting impatiently she finally glimpsed a figure far down the track. Her heart did a somersault and her pulse began to race in expectation. As the person drew nearer she recognised them as Dev and with a delighted smile and shining eyes she rushed forward to meet him. She ran up to him breathlessly, shouting out his name and waving. When he spotted her his whole face broke into a wide and joyful smile and as she met him he caught her round the waits and spun her round dizzyingly, while she half-laughed, half-yelped in surprise. Placing her back on her feet he grinned down at her with wide, sparkling eyes as she waited with baited breath for him to speak.
"Well?" she demanded.
"They gave me the job!" he cried.
She shrieked and launched herself into his arms.
"Oh Dev!" she cried. "I'm so happy!"
"There were only three people who turned up for the interview," Dev explained, as she pulled back and smiled up at him. "And they told me that I was far more qualified than the others. I can't believe it Kaajjal. I'm actually going to be working again."
"I knew you could do it Dev," she told him, grasping his hands tightly in her own. "I just knew it."
"It's all thanks to you Kaajjal," he said, gazing deep into her eyes. "If you hadn't believed in me, if you weren't with me then I would never have had the courage to start again. Only you can make me strong Kaajjal. Only you."
Tears clouded her eyes as she gazed up at him and when he folded her into his arms a tear spilled silently and rolled down her cheeks. She clung to him as if should she let go he would slip away from her. Looking up at the sky she silently thanked God for being so benevolent. She knew in that one moment that no matter what happened in her life from now on everything would be okay in the end. Life was slowly coming back on track; she had gotten the home she always dreamed of, Dev was with her and now he had his job. Yes, she thought as she wrapped her arms closer round him, now everything was going to be alright.
That's it for just now. Thanks for reading and I hope you liked it.
