Dev still fisting his hands while remembering those small moments which made him realize that he was sooo far from his family whatever might be the status of the relationship between him and sonakshi but still they were parents to their beautiful angel so in a sense a very twisted sense it was his family...
He again went down the memory lane to the incidents which hurt him the most...he could still bare the entire bose family being close to jatin, considering him as a part of the family but the last nail in the coffin was the closeness shared between suhana and jatin...he knew jatin was close to his suhana but didn't realize the depth of the relationship or he didn't wanted to see it because sometimes ignorance was bliss...all he knew was he couldn't share his daughter with anyone especially not with a person who probably knew more about his daughter, was there for her when he didn't even know of her existence...he could only think "suhana MERI beti hai...who meri aur sonakshi beti hai..."
With that he relived those dreadful moments again...
It was a Sunday morning in the Bose residence with almost all up but his his lil princess was deep in slumber due to her night fun and masti...
Dev heard sona talking to her faaavorite jotin that Jatin wanted to give soha a surprise when sona told him that she was still sleeping but sona was excited about the surprise so was asking about it but jatin didn't give her any clue and would only reveal it to soha only...sona being disheartened said that its way past soha's bed time even though its Sunday so she was only going to wake soha up only so he could also accompany her and surprise soha which jatin agreed...dev didn't like this which was so obvious as it was his right to wake his daughter along with the mother and not some random guy even though he was a family friend and very close but still so he stepped in and said "main jaa hi raha hoon suhana ko utane ke liye...dont worry main utha donga..." but before he could go any further...sona interrupted him and said "iski koi zarurat nahi main jaa rahi hoon utha dongi usko"
d-soankshi...tumhari problem kya hai?kya ab main apni beti(stressing on apni) ko bhi nahi utha sakta...
s-dev tumhari problem yeh hi hai tum har cheez ko galat sense main lete ho...
d- haan ofcourse sari correct sense toh tum mein hi hai...right...
s-dev please I really don't wanna argue with you in the morning...
d-toh u mean u wanna argue with me in the afternoon and evening but morning problem hai tumko...
s-god dev...
Jatin interrupted their banter saying "guys relax...dev sona isliye bol rahi thi bcoz aaj Sunday hai toh sona soha ko ek poem sunna kar uthati hai as soha likes it...and moreover hum sab uppar ja sakte hai..."
With that the three of them went to soha's room to wake her up...sona recited a poem with all her cute expressions with jatin smiling all the way and dev he jst couldn't stop adoring her cute antics and soha giving an angelic smile to sona...making dev think that he missed these small moments...how much he wished that he was there with the mother daughter duo and there could also be times when he would recite the poem to soha and sona could adore them and days where soha and dev could be all lazy not wanting to get up with sona tryin to wake us up with her ways-sometimes threatening us sometimes bribing us...his sweet dream was broken by the giggling sound of suhana who was laughing at one of the jokes cracked by jatin which kinda irked dev all the more as jatin should be no where in the picture according to him...
Jatin - uth gaya mera bacha...karli apni neeni puri...
Soha-hmmm...bahut achi neend aayi...
Sona-haan who toh aeyegi hi na...itni der tak jo sou rahi thi tum...aur raat ko kitni masti kit um sab ne apni favourite cartoon movie dekh kar(assume chota bheem or something I am bad in kids movie)... uppar se kitna ugdam bagdum khaya hai...
Jatin and soha making a cute pout with their baby face -sorry mumma...kabhi kabhi chalta hai...
Sona jst cldnt take the cuteness overloaded so gave up and smiled at them...dev didn't like all this he wanted to be the one holding soha in his laps and making a cute face with sona scoulding them...he wanted the one who would pamper soha but it was jatin as if jatin could read his mind and would do all the things which he wanted to do for soha and with soha like their last night movie masti mania...he thought of it but before he could execute his plan jatin had organized the dvd for soha with all the popcorns,chips,colddrinks,fries,burger and everything...golu and soha really had a gud time along with jatin where dev could only adore soha sitting beside him...he was no at all interested in the movie but was busy admiring the cute smiles and giggles of his daughter and didn't miss the rapport she shared with jatin with their constant chit chats...he really wanted him to be that guy who was suhana's confidant,who she would talk about all the things...but he was just one of them...dev was grateful that in the night it was him who would make soha sleep by telling her a bed time story but much to his dismay soha dozed of while watching the movie and dev being so possessive about her made sure that he carried her to their room...
Soha- jotty uncle aapne apni exercise karli ...
j- nahi bas ja hi raha hoon but usse pehle I have a surprise for my bachcha...
Soha-really mere liye kya hai batao na jaldi plzzz...soha jumping up n down in excitement...
j- haha baba...yeh lo...this is for my princesss...
dev was super irked by now AND THINKING "pehle toh yeh meri beti ko mera bacha...mera bacha karta rehta hai saara time...ab my princess...she is my princesss..."
soha and sona were all smiling seeing the gift with soha trying to unwrap it...n was super happy seeing her surprise ...
Soha-yeh toh bahut pretty hai...see mumma kitna pretty lehnga hai yeh...papa dekho na jotty uncle mere liye kya lae
Dev could only pass a tight lipped smile as he didn't wanted to show his daughter that he was uncomfortable with her being so close to jatin...
Sona-woaw...yeh bahut pretty hai aur meri soha kitni beautiful lagegi iss lehnge mein haina...
d-haan its nice...
j-yeh pretty toh hai but mere bache se zyada nahi aur issliye I bought this n this is for you sona...
sona-mere liye??????
j-haan baba tumhare liye...its kind of similar...jab sona ke liye toh mujhe yeh bhi acha lagga toh tumhare liye bhi le liya...tum dono bilkul angels lagogi...
dev had had enough he was really running out of patience all he could think was "who meri beti hai...meri princess...who dono meri angels hai...suhana meri beti hai aur sona meri bi...he so wanted to say meri biwi but couldn't so clenched his jaws and thought sonakshi meri beti ki ma hai..."
soha-main yeh hi pehenogi for saurab mama's wedding...chalo ab aap excerise karo so that you also look nice for the wedding...papa aap bhi karo na...
d-nahi beta maine kar li...
Soha-wow aapne kar bhi li...chalo jotty uncle ab toh aap mera samne exercise karo...woh aap kya karte hooo ...woh.????
Sona-push ups...
Soha-haan app who karo and I will count...
j- haan yeh acha hai...saurab dada toh beech mein count karna bhul jate hai...
with that jatin came back in his gunjii...showing off his tonned body and stretching his arms for the push ups...making dev lose his mind...all dev could remember was sonakshi oogling him while he used to exercise and forget herself she jst couldn't focus...he wondered that even if that was taken over by someone else in the life of his sonakshi...so he curtly looked towards sona was playing with soha in her laps...though it did give him some relief but still his brooding jealousy could not be tamed...he saw soha and sona counting for jatin...all the while thinking it should have been him ...n not jatin...
soha-woaw jotty uncle aap ne toh aaj 100 kar liye...
J- haan jab se aapka sports day hua hai aur aapne mujhe challenge kiya tha tab se I can do 100 aur agar aap uss din ki tarah mere uppar beth jaogi toh bhi I can do 100...
Soha-haan who toh mujhe aapko sports day main mere saath participate karwana than a isliye...
j- haan meri ma...hum sab ko sab pta hai...
Sona- but it was a nice event...
Soha- I also njoyed it ...
j- mujhe toh mere sports day se bhi zyada pasand hai...even jo uss din ki award wai photo hai jisme main aur soha hai with the prize...i have it as my wallpaper...
sona- I also really like that pic...
Dev couldn't take it any more so he moved from there with the thought of talking to sonakshi about jatin eating up his time with soha...
Dev was goin towards sonakshi so as to talk but before he could enter her study room all he could see was sonakshi arguing with jatin...and curiosity caught the best in him and he wanted to know what there were arguing about so he started listening to them secretly...
j-sona tu meri baat kyun nahi samajh rahi...its important for you...tujhe pata hai na u cant neglect this...
s-i know but I think ki abhi its not the right time and moreover I don't trust the doctors out here...
j-uffo sona thik hai yahan nahi toh wapis kolkatta mein toh yeh karvana hi padega na...tujhe pta hai na tujhe kitni complications hui thi soha ke time par...u were on bed rest in your ninth month...
s- I know jatin ki kitni complications aur kitni problems thi but please I just don't want to recall thise dreadful days...mujhe bahut dar lagta hai...i just pray to god ki aisa ki aur ke saath na ho...har pal mujhe yeh hi darr lagta rehta tha ki mere baby ko kuch na ho jae...ya agar mujhe kuch ho gaya toh mere bache ka kya hoga????????kaun usko sambhalega though sab log hain but still a child without a mother aur phir uske dad ka bhi toh kuch...
j- relax sona...I ddint mean to hurt...i am ki jo phase ek aurat ki life ka sabse beautiful phase hota hai who tumhare liye kitna painful tha...all I can say is job hi hua ab who chala gaya hai now concentrate on your future,on soha...
s- ya
j- uske liye this is important aur iske aagemain kuch nahi sunne wala ...its final...
s- acha baba...jab tumne final kar diya toh phir toh I cant also say anything...
j- waise I was thinkin ki dev is doing great now in the house kafi efforts le raha hai woh soha ke liye...u should also discuss this with him as well...after all who soha ka father hai...
s-soha ka father but mera kuch nahi...
j- thik hai but if u are uncomfortable toh main baat karun...
sona raised her eyebrow...
j- I knw he doent like me but its not his fault who would like ki uski beti kissi aur ke saath itnu friendly ho...
s- tum koi aur nahi ho jatin...tum soha ke liye ek father figure se kam nahi hoo...shayd kabhi main soha ke saath nahi thi due to work but tum hamesha uske saath the...
j- I know but dev uska father hai aur yeh baat usko samajhne mein thoda time lagega...
s- well woh ho sakta hai but he has to deal with it...
J- uffo sona tub hi jab bhi dev ki baat aati hai itni aggressive ho jati hai...
s-aisa nahi hain... waise tum soha ko bigad dooge...I dresses liya hai n tumne ek aur le aaye...uppar se I saw other gifts as well...
j-wht did I do now?
s- usne abhi itni sari dresses liya tha for the wedding n u bought another
j-so wht saurab ki wedding ke liye toh hai n baki sab toh aise hi...
s- ya abhi jab Europe tour se aye tha tab bhi u bought so many gifts for her...
j- I also bought gifts for u...aur tum bhi bahut excited thi abhout the surprise in the morning...tumbhi ek bachi se kam nahi ho yaad hai jab we bought that talking doll for soha u were so excited as if tumhare liye le rahe hai...
S- YA YA...
j- ab bolti band...waise soha tumhari beti who nahi bigad sakti
With that jatin left with sonakshi going through some files...dev thinking about their conversation and barged into sona's study...
Sona saw him and made a face...
s- I knew it kit um yahan par aaoge...so ab tum ko yeh problem hai ki jatin ne soha ke liye dress lekar aya...as u wanted to gift her...she should wear what you give her...
d-haan who problem bhi hai...but...
s-matlab aur bhi problems hai tumko...oh god dev grow up...stop being so jealous of jatin...
d- I am not jealous I jst want my time with my daughter...soha meri beti hai...main uske liye sab kuch karna chata hoon...aur yeh jatin hai kaun jot um sab log usko itna importance de rahe hoon...
s- bahut kuch hai who...aur bahut important bhi hai who hum sab ki life main...it was jatin who helped us jab hummare pass kuch nahi tha...he believed in me n my talent and idea...he believed ki I would be able to make it...he was there for my parents like a son...unki problem ko solve karna ya advise karna...he was there with dada to guide him...he was there with me as a friend when I lost all hope...he was there jab soha was born...soha ko usne mujhse pehle godh mein liya...jab main kaam ki wajah se soha ko nahi attend kar pati thi he was with soha...jab soha bimaar hoti thi mere saath who bhi sari raat soha ke pass hota tha...soha ke har important day chahe chota ya bada jatin is always there with her...jab soha ko kuch bhi problem hoti hai who jatin ke pass jati hai...soha ke liye who uska best friend hai...ek father figure hai...tum soha ke father ho abhi uski life main aaye ho but jatin bhi uski life main ek bahut important place hold karta hai...who usko ache se janta aur samajhta hai...jatin apni jagah hai aur tum apni...so cant just come and say ki ab main aa gaya toh koi aur nahi hona chahiye kyunki main hoon...he was there jab koi aur nahi tha...he is more than family to us...he is a pillar of support...sabke saath toh koi rishta hota hai who phir bhi nahi karte but jatin se as such koi rishta nahi hai but still he did so much for us...usko tumhe bata kar main usne jo humare kiya usko chota nahi kar sakti...aur na hi usko kuch bhi bolungi... you just have to deal with it and get over your jealousy and insecurities...jatin ki apni jagah hai aur tumhari apni...
d-i know who bahut important hai tabhi toh tumhare baba keh rahe the when he was hospitalized ki agar mujhe kuch ho bhi jata toh I know jatin sab ko sambhal leta as he trusts him...
s- yes MR.DEV DIXIT...mere baba jatin par trust karte hai and he has earned it...
d- aur tum...tum trust karti ho usko??????
s-dev...plzzz dev main aur jatin sirf friends hai n yes I trust him...all of us do...
d-waise who doctor ki kya baat...
S-tum hamari baat sun rahe the...u re impossible...
d- main woh...
s-i don't care...aur jo bhi baat hai it doesn't concern you...neither does it concern soha...
d- but it concerns you...
s-its none of your business...hum sirf humari beti ke liye saath hai...remember that...
Dev still in his office gulping down a sip of alcohol and wishing that he could go back in time and change things where it would be only him...sirf main hoon soha aur sona ki zindagi main...sirf main hoon unka pillar of support...woh saare pal jo sona ne kahe ya jeeye soha ke saath un sab mein main unke saath hota...kyuni who meri family hai...meri beti...meri bi...
