GAREWAL'S HOUSE
In the Hall, downstairs.
Neetu: Why don't you talk to me?
Uday: I have been talking to you since an hour now.
Neetu: So, don't you have anything to talk?
Uday: For the past hour, it is you who have been talking and when you finish a topic, you say, "What else?" and start some other topic again.
Neetu: Really??....For your info my Hubby, I do that only because you don't say anything.
Uday (In a very sexy tone): That's because what I have in mind, can't be said in words…..I have to do that to you myself in person…😉
Neetu blushes.☺️
Uday: And since I can't do that, I don't see the use of wasting money on talking.
Neetu: Is money more important to you?
Uday: Ofcourse it is. That's the reason why your dad sent me out here, right. I am here away from my family just to earn money. So, I should be saving it. At least in this way I could be with my family when I grow old.
Neetu was the eldest sibling in the family. Being the first born in the family, it was upto her to set an example for her younger brothers and sister. Her dad wanted her to become a doctor. She honored his wishes.
"First doctor in my family"…he would proudly say. But her dad never let her run her own clinic. "We want a doctor for our house, incase if anyone is hurt."
Her whole life was just following her Dad's wishes. First live her life as he wants, then career and then marriage too. Actually her story was the same as others.
She was married to Uday.
Uday lived alone. His parents died in a plane crash. His Dad was one of D.K friend. Uday and Neetu were childhood friends. D.K made a promise to Uday's parents that Uday will be married to his elder daughter and even when they died, D.K kept his promise and got them married.
Uday was an engineer and was happy with his life. He had a nice job and loving wife. When his son Raj was born, he felt he was the luckiest guy in the world. The three were happy together.
He got a job opportunity in America. But he discarded the idea. He was happy and satisfied in India. But D.K told him that this was the time and age that he could really work hard and earn for his family. He didn't want to but had to take the transfer.
D.K convinced him that since he is going to be new to some place and so it is best that he goes alone and Neetu and Raj would be staying with them. Raj was small and he needed care of his grandparents. Uday had to listen and obey.
It has been many years now. But still Neetu and Raj stay with D.K in his house. D.K still feels that it is best for them to be with their family. He wants his daughter to have a good future life, but didn't realize that he himself was destroying his daughter's love life.
Neetu had nothing to do but to help her Mom in the kitchen and to talk to her husband on the phone. Her husband tried to convince her that medicine is a Nobel profession and she should really put it into practice and help others. But she didn't have the guts to ask her father.
D.K wasn't a bad person. He just wanted the best for his children. He did what he thought was right. They never complained and seemed to be happy. So he had no idea that they actually weren't living but just compromising.
Uday missed his family a lot and used to visit as frequently as possible.
Raj: Hang the phone, mom.
Neetu: Shut up, Go and eat your breakfast.😡
Arjun snatches the phone from Neetu's hand.
Arjun: Give me the phone. Hello America, how are you?
Uday: I'am fine. So how are you?
Arjun: Fine. When are you coming back? Aren't you missing your wife? Kaam ke chakar mein yeh bhool na jaana ki, 'All work and no play makes **** a dull boy'…….Samje?.....hehehe 😆
Uday understood what Arjun meant. Although Uday was older to Arjun and also his brother-in-law, but he was close to him. Arjun was one guy Uday could share everything with. They understood each other well. Maybe because they shared a common problem i.e both of them didn't want D.K to interfere in their married life and career. Arjun was the favorite of the house. Although he wasn't the youngest but his nature was liked by everyone. His image was that of an ideal son and ideal brother. And Arjun never wanted to spoil it.
Uday (embarrassed) : Ya……right…lol..😳
Neetu: Give me the phone back. What did he tell you? I heard him say something to you.
Uday: No nothing.
Neetu: Are you coming home at least this month?
Uday: Don't know, will see.
Neetu: It's always 'all work' for you. No time for family.
The 'all work' reminds Uday of what Arjun said earlier. He smiles inwardly. 😊
D.K to Neetu: Are you talking to Uday?
Neetu: Yes Dad
D.K: Tell him not to drive fast.
Neetu: Ok Dad. Listen Dad says….
She was interrupted by uday
Uday: Ya, I heard. Listen I got to go. Bye. I Love You. Muaaah….❤️.....🤗
Neetu looks around, "I love you too"…❤️.....she whispers...
