Dev said without any emotion : Sona its finally over...let's move on"
Sona sighed sadly and nodded : I feel very bad, about this Dev...but well, I guess, we have to accept it.
They were both looking down at Radha Rani lying so helplessly on the bed with all kinds of tubes, pipes, metal, plastic, zinc,copper, all fixed to her body for her ultimate survival. She is now totally unable to speak, move her body and only her eyes remained opened all the time...after the 2nd fall leading to complete paralysis.
Dev said thoughtfully with his arms folded : Sona, is there anyway, we can put her in a straight jacket, strap her to the bed , just to ensure, that she does not move as an added precaution?. What do you think? And tell mom and sis not to waste time by going to temple to appeal to those upperbeings...for her well being.!
Sona looked at dev in disbelielf : Dev, trust me..you don't have to do that. She is firmly secured and tied...no need to resort to that..at least for now. She is not going to go anywhere. !
Dev was watching mami and shook his head as if he still had some doubts: I wish I can agree with you but no... Hold on! you said she cannot move, but I swear I saw her looking at us just now and blinking...how come?
Sona waved aside his statement : What! When? I didn't notice that...erm...no I don't see anything unusual Dev.. you must be imagining. Relax Dev.
Dev exclaimed snapping his finger and pointing at Mami: There you go ! you saw that? You didn't? Ok it was a too fast...Ok I tell you what, we will do a simple test. I know just what to do...just hang on..just give me a moment...
He went to the sound system and selected a CD and soon the room was filled with soft romantic music of ballet Spandau Ballet

Dev turned round, and with a wicked smile, mischief dancing in his eyes, came towards Sona and tugged her close to him and proceeded to a slow dance with her. Her encircled his arms around her waist...leaving her no choice but for her to lay her hands flat on his shoulders...
Sona looked shocked and whispered in hush tones... : Devvv! What are you doing? She is here..
Dev cocked his head sideways: What does it matter, she cant do anything now...infact this is the safe place for us to be where she is!
Sona shook her head with disapproval :Even so, I feel kind of strange dancing in front of her...
Dev soothed her : Relax, take a deep breath ...just ignore her..she is good as dead!
Sona pronounced reproachfully : Dev! stop it... Don't say such things...she can still hear us you know..
Dev smiled at her and he twirled her around slowly...as if he didn't hear her...enjoying her discomfort
Dev inhaled deeply and asked gruffly : What is that perfume you are wearing?
Sona's lashes fluttered in bemusement : Hmm perfume...no , not using one.
Dev gazed at her lovingly : So its you...you smell wonderful Sona...
He looked deeply into her eyes and lifted his hand to her face, running his hand over her cheek in a sweet gentle caress ...
Dev - his dark deep voice was thick with emotion : I am madly in love with you Sona...I cant bear to live without you...you mean so much to me..I love you Sona
His arms tightening around her.
Sona's throat clogged with tears at his raw declaration : I love you so much it hurts Dev...you don't know how much.. how heartbroken I was, when I thought you were going to get engaged to Natasha.
Dev said with raw understone , accusingly : And you didn't tell me anything and kept it hidden from me...all this while and you would have let me engaged to her, without revealing to me...Sona Sona...I maybe a late developer in the love stakes but now that I found you, you are mine and I am not letting you go from me . Never...ever. ! You mean a lot to me...my soulmate.
They were lost in each other and they were swaying gently to the music and then as usual ,in the climax , heard a choked cough...
Dev rolled his eyes heavenwards and vented a startled laugh : Didn't I tell you, she is not done yet. ? and pointed towards the bed where they could see Radha Rani eyes were fixated on them...like an owl!
Dev walked across the room and stared down at Mami with his arms folded: Ok Mami, I want you to blink twice if you saw and heard everything.
Radha Rani blinked twice and Dev muttered thickly something under his breath
Dev in a clipped voice : Sona , bring a rolled newspaper
Sona squeaked in a horrified voice : Dev you cannot hit her with that..she is fragile
Dev said calmly and contradicted : Who said anything about hitting her? I want you to hit me hard on my head for listening to you and calling 100 (911)
Sona her eyes sparkled with irrepressible humour : Oh Dev.. I know you don't mean that...you are being silly
Dev put up his hand ...: Sona, that is! ...we are going to Bali for a short holiday. You say something about medical conference and I say about biz trip. I cant share you with these people and Mami stop looking surprised with those big eyes like a goldfish. Its very scary !
