Chapter 4Two months had passed, Domadors health seeing slw deteriation and random peaks of health mainly because he had naku both in the form of a daughter inlaw and daughter too. Nakusha spent her days Looking after Damodar. Each day was of a similar routine. Somewhere along the line nakusha had accepted this life style. Even though at times she looked in the mirror and was reminded of her old self behind the get up of a wife and bahu she was simply a maid and Nothing more was Something that would play in her mind at times. Reminding herself of this reality when life seemed a blur nakushas strength rebuilt every time she thought of her kaka. She was doing this for him.. nudged out of her entranged thoughts nakusha hears her mothers voice followed by a soft nudge to her right arm.
"Kya soch rahin hai naku ? Jaldi kar abhi khaane ka vakt ho raha hai". Nakusha prompted from her thoughts looks at the surroundings for a second.
Standing in the dinning area of the haveli nakusha looks at the antique twelve seat dinning table in front of her. Part way through laying the table for tonight's evening meal like everything else this was a daily routine for Nakusha too. 7:30 pm as shes looks at the wall clock dutta and baaji were due to arrive Any moment. Dutta had decided to spend more time with his farther, whether it was simply a dutiful thing for a son do do or he was genuinely wanting to spend time with his farther was more to do with individual perception on the matter. Dutta would come home approximately the same time every night have dinner with his farther stay the night and then leave early morning for Patilwadi and today was no different. As the clock strikes on the hour nakusha was pulls out of her thoughts helped by her mother who was prodding her arm. "
Ey naku Kya soch rahin hai, abhi bhau aur baaji aate hein hoge." Nodding in confirmation Nakusha finishes placing the last plate on the table when she hears damodar enter, a little frail Looking yet adamant to look after himself he takes a seat at the table and responds to baaji who enters just seconds later.
As animatedly as ever Baaji strolls in with one hand in the back pocket of his jeans and the other fixing his hair with a quick sweep.
Kya hal hai..kaka..naku???! both Domador and Naku nodding with a smile are just about to reply when Dutta enters. Nakusha as ever trying to keep a low profile tries to avoid Dutta but her eyes seem to stray noticing every detail of him as he walks in. dressed in his black attire, sleeves rolled neatly to his elbows, a little tired looking Nakusha notices a small scar on Duttas forehead as talks over the phone. Engrossed in this conversation he fails to acknowledge anybody else.
Meanwhile baaji who is looking forward to a good meal sits down at the table and takes a glance at Nakusha who seems besotted but something more important gets baaji's attention. Nakusha had left her sindhoor and mangalsutra one, baajis expression freezing for a second he gets nakushas attention after a few attempts. Nakusha finally manages to see baaji's silent gestures and looks towards him. seeing him mouth something and make a stuble hand gesture nakusha looks down at her neck after a slight pause to see her mangalsutra around her neck. A little baffled in the same way baaji was nakusha takes the hint and silently slips away before Dutta sees her.
Taking a sigh of ease once Nakusha leaves Baajis worries are not yet over as dutta finishes his call and confirms that he is about go freshen up and heads in the same direction as Nakusha. Leaving Baaji worried about a possible confrontation.
As dutta walks into his room in the haveli, like any other room in the buiding the furnishings are of a dark wood, grand four poster bed in the centre of the room, black and white tiled flooring, an traditional indain armchair on the left of the room onto which Dutta throws his overcoat and then heads towards the washroom only to here somebody else open the door from within as he approaches.
Pausing for a moment dutta sees nakusha walk out of the washroom, a little confused as to what she was doing, dutta notices a nervousness in her eyes as it stares down on her. her eyes searching the floor for a moment dutta looks at her curiously almost a little suspious of what his girl was doing in his washroom. Nakusha was first the break the silence, a little nervous her words a little shakey as she looks up at dutta, into those deep dark eyes of his and stern expression.
She decides it better not to speak rather brings her arm opening the parm of her right hand which holds a plaster. Dutta looking at nakusha for a moment dutta seemed a little doubtful like there was something not quite right. Not in the mood to stress him self over a maid dutta takes the plaster thanks nakusha yet gives her a very doubtful look as she walks out of the room.
Later into the night as everyone takes to there respective rooms for a nights rest baabi wakes up after an hour or so to find the lights in the room on and nakusha absent from her side of the bed.
Sitting up in bed Baabi looks around to find nakusha stood at the balcony of the room. Babi walking towards nakusha stops beside her to see nakushas eyes set on the room opposing theres. Holding on to her mangulstra in a very lost manner nakushas eyes are set on Duttas room where the lights are still on.
"Bohot der ho gayi naku so jaa…"Nakusha startled from her own silence, looks towards her mother for a moment and nods a yes but as baabi walks away from nakusha she was well aware that nakusha would not sleep until she would see the lights to Dutta's room turn out.
…
Another month or so passed in the same way, nakusha baaji and baabi did there upmost to keep this act up and succeeded until that one day which was in the back of everyone's mind had arrived. Dutta had being carrying a very dull feeling all day, fustrated, tired, burdended just as he takes a seat in the armchair of his office at patil house his phone rings. Taking the hand set out of his chest pocket dutta takes a audible sigh..as he reads baaji as the caller. Putting the handset to ear dutta throws his head back onto the headrest of his armchair and closes his eyes as he utters a few frustrated words..
"Bol Baaji….ab kaun mar gayay.."Baajis words leave dutta in a tense state of disbelief, taking a swallow..dutta feels his closed eyes tear up at the news of his farthers death.
A day later after his farthers funeral Dutta had announced that all people closely related to his farther should be present a the reading of his farthers will. Dutta sitting at his farthers chair behind a dark wood desk in the surroundings of the haveli study. His eyes trail around the room once to make sure everyone concerned is present. Aayi sahib sits at the chair on the oppisite side of the table next to the black coat lawyer, baaji stands behind duttas armchair whilst , Bhalu Dada is also present standing in one corner of the room. Duttas eyes search for one missing person, Madhu.
Before dutta could ask on Madhus where about the door opening is sounded baabi walks madhu into the room followed by nakusha and walks her to the corner of the room next to bhalu dada who taps her on the head lovingly..
Duttas eyes lingering in madhus direction, madhu sees a very vivid form of concern in her brothers eyes and reassures him with a nod. The lawyer asks for duttas permission to begin reading the will which dutta accepts with a silent nodd. Both baaji and bhalu dada exchange some worried glances as they already know of what the will states.
"Mein damodar patil apni puri jaayeydat apni beti madhu ke naam karta hoon…lekin ek shart pein.." the lawyer reading out the will stops for a moment, anxious to read out what follows..
as each of the family members look towards one another surprised duttas eyes are fixed on the lawyer demanding her go on and read.
"Aage Phad"Taking a nervous swallow the lawyer continues.. "
shart yey hai ke mere beta dutta shri ram patil nakusha ko apni patni ke roop mein swikarga." Whilst the rest of the family feel anxious, socked over the will
Duttas eyes move from staring into oblivion to looking towards Nakusha who feels his eyes focused on her internally a world wind of fear, emotion, blankness stirs within her.
….
As the rest of the family members try to make sense of damodars will and accept that there is nothing they can do to change a dyeing mans last wishes, Bhalu dada walks into the study Dutta had been sitting in for the last few hours after the reading of the will. And takes a seat on the chair on the opposite side of the desk. dutta's eyes closed, head rested back on the headrest of the chair bhalu dada looks at the document sat in front of Dutta it was Domodars will.
…
Later into the evening Dutta walks the floors of the mansion in search of Madhu. His hands placed behind his back his thoughts undoubtedly burdened by grief and uncertainty dutta finds madhus room empty walking along the corridor his attention is caught by a particular room where the door is partially open. Stopping at the entrance of the room dutta sees baabi sat crossed legged on bed with nakusha sleeping in her lap.
Something about the innocence of what he saw there reminded him of the same sort of relationship he had with aayi sahib. His stern expression easing a little baabi's eyes catch on to duttas for a moment asking him respectfully to enter as there was something she thought he should know about.
A little later dutta walks towards his farthers room and as expected he finds madhu there. Sorting her farthers things into boxes on the four poster bed in the centre of the room, the upset of loosing her farther lingering on her face she comforts herself with reminders of him.
"Madhu"..Hearing duttas voice from a close distance Madhu wipes her tears and turns around. Those moist eyes not hidden from him dutta takes a soft sigh and walks towards her. cupping her face in his hands, duttas eyes filled with a warm reassure madhu.
"Roh ..mat" madhu pulling into her brother tightly..wraps her arms around his back in a hug as she speaks with a teary voice.
"Bhaiyay.."Dutta replies with a soft than norm "
Bol.."
Mein nahin chahti ke aap mere leiyey koi compromise kare mera matlab..dad ka will..Not wanting her to get upset over the matter dutta forbids madhu of thinking over the issue. "
Chup..bilkul chup!koi sarurat nahin hai tuje is sab ke bare mein sochne ki.."…….
As dutta returns to the study after sometime, walking along the corridors still unable to think how to deal with the situation. Dutta lots in his thoughts, staring into oblivion as steps into the room, arms placed authoritatively behind his back Dutta pauses as his eyes catch Nakusha who is sat at the chair opposing his side of the desk.
As nakusha heres duttas footsteps at the entrance of the room she gets up from her seat and begins searching the floor with her eyes for a moment as dutta looks over her. Hearing him walk into the room nakushas eyes follow him as he walks into the room around the desk.. standing in front of his chair.. dutta takes a curious look at Nakusha.
