Chapter 24.2
Meanwhile Addu was really busy with Sameer's shoes. He looked the curved tip of those and the glittery embroidery on it. Then he started chewing one's tip and relishing it's taste.
Saakshi Saw Addu chewing attentively Rathod's shoe and rushed to him.
Saakshi : (Trying to snatch the shoe) oye...Addu baby...don't eat the shoes..yeh uncle sam ki Shadi wale shoes hain na...kharab ho jayga..tu isko chor..Ri maasi avi laddu leke aayegi..(tried to take of those shoes from his hands).
Addu gaped at her with big eyes when she was trying to remove those shoes from his hands, and was very disturbed, he jerked of her hands, shook his head & hands in denial and started chewing the other one of the pair, holding tight the previous one.
But Saakshi didn't budged, she again tried to snatch the shoes, and this time Addu used his BRAHMASTRA...he gifted her a heart freezing scream, frightening each single person gathered around the mandap. Aisha-Sameer almost jumped on their seats, and the pandit chocked, he started coughing.
Arjun took Addu into his arms and scolded Saakshi.
Arjun : Kya hain! Kyun mere bte ko disturb karr rahi ho!
Sakshi : Arjun..woh Addu shoes...
Arjun : Toh kya hua! Aab yeh silly si rasam ke liye shadi me problem create karogi! Dekho wahan mantra rukh gaya...
Saakshi : Nahi...mera woh matlab nahi tha...main toh bas...
Arjun : Kya bass! Addu se aise kuch nahi chin sakte..tumko pata hain na...now he's playing with Sam's shoes..let him play...jab uska mann bhar jaye tab le lena...aab jao.
Addu clapped his shoed hands in pleasure. "Aaj Saakshi maasi ko accha sabak mila", He chuckled at his own thought.
Arjun : Oye! Tu kya hass raha hain..aapna kaam karr. Zootey math chorna..Samjhe ya samjhaun!
Addu frowned at his dad & again put a shoe tip into his mouth, restating his chewing session. Yeh dad vi na!!...unse to yeh shoes protect nahi hua..mujhe samjhane aaya hain...ruko...aaj mom se aapko badawala SYS khilaungi. Just wait for the right time.
Meanwhile Riya came back with a plate full of laddu and saw Saakshi standing in a corner. Shree was standing beside her.
Riya : Kya hua.
Shree : Kuch nahi, tumlogon ka first attempt fail ho gaya.
He went to another direction with his camera.
Riya : Kya!
Saakshi : Haan...Addu ne aisa chekha..aab toh Arjun godh me leke khara hain...
Riya : Come..main ek try maarta hoon.
They again went close to mandap ehere Sam-Aisha was taking pheras. They stood right behind Arjun.
Riya gently caressed Addu's head,making him look around. He was still busy with the shoes.
Riya showed him the plate.
Riya : Chahiye?
Addu saw those red-yellow balls neatly placed on the plate, he knew what are those and he just love that sweet. He removed his left hand from the shoe, holding that by his gums and picked up one laddu.
Riya : ( tried to pull the shoe from his mouth) yeh nikal..nahi toh khayega kaise?
Addu tried to scold her to pull that shoe from his mouth, and at the next instant he realised his mistake. That shoe fell down and Saakshi was quick to catch it. Addu screamed and both girls ran away with that one.
Shree called Liza to chase the girls, now chotu also joined them.
Roshni : Yeh kya hua!
Arjun : Mere bete ko ullu banake ek shoe le gaya...oye tujhe avi yeh laddu khana tha!
Addu offered them a shy look.
Roshni : Usko matt danto...tum kahan the? Tumhai peeche yeh sab hua aur tum...
Arjun : Yeh tumhari galati hain...itna khubsurat kyun lag rahi thi? Mujhe distract karr dia!
Roshni : accha! Aab meri galti hain!
Now Sameer took the cue to stop them.
Sameer : Stop it both of you! Yahan meri shadi ho gayee..aur tum dono...
Roshni : Toh kya kar..tumhara super hoshiyaar dost ne toh tumhari shoe nahi bacha paya...
Addu : (waving the second one of the pair in his right hand) Ah-aha..(meaning : Maine ke bacha lia!)
Roshni : Haan mera baccha...agar tu nahi hota toh yeh bi..Sam..tum yeh pehno..dusra hum zarror le aayenge.
Arjun took the shoe from addu and hold it out to sameer.
Sameer : Yeh..iska yeh haal...
Now all noticed the shoe tip is chewed.
Roshni : arre..kuch nahi...Addu ki teething time hain na..toh...
Sameer : (almost cried) meri wedding shoes hain Rosh..aur iska...
This time Addu felt he should do something for his upset uncle Sam. So he stretched out his hand to him calling his name.
Addu : Aan...aam..aaa..aa..(meaning : Uncle Sam don't cry..)
Sameer looked at the little boy trying to come to him with a consoling expression. That kid was looking so cute that he almost forgot everything for a moment.
Sameer took Addu in his arms, and lightly punched his stomach.
Sameer : Yeh kya kia mere sher...yeh shoes phenne ke cheez hain..khane ke nahi...
Addu touched his face, making a series of meaningless sounds. And all understood what he was trying to say.
Aisha : Accha...saakshi ne ek shoe le gaya?..it's ok...
Addu fisted his hands and gritted his gums...then he again vented out some heated meaningless words...
Addu : (A.N. : I'm writing the meaning straight, I've no skill to pen down those weird sounds, Sorry!) Ek toh aapne shoes khud dekh ke nahi rakh sakte..upar se mujhe daante ho! Main baccha hoon...sirf 6 month 22 din ka...thik se khara vi nahi ho sakta...aur tum log itne(he spread his hands as much he could) bade log ho...upar se ETF wale...tum logon se itna nahi hota!! Phir vi main dekh ke rakha na..ek baar Saakshi maasi(he said Sasi & all understood it was Saakshi) ko vaga vi dia...lekin...kya karun..baccha hoon..aur woh gol gol ,sweet red red yellow yellow balls..I love them...na uncls Sam..aab riya masi (he said Eesi & all understood it's Riya)ne dia toh maine lelia..aab mere paas do haath hain, 3-4 nahi...toh ek shoe toh chorna padega na...wahi Sasi ne utha le gaya...dekho main vi dad ko immediately alert kia...kia na! phir tum aise ro kyun rahe ho!
Rathod : Beta..shoe aapne paas rakhna tha..dekh( held up his shoe) tune iska naak kha lia!
Addu : (smiled and tried to take it back) Aaang..aam (meaning :I love chewing it...)
Rathod held it away from Addu.
Rathod : Bass..bohot hogaya...aab bass karo. (to three's) mere liye ek aur pair of Shoes mangwao..main yeh Addu chewed shoe nehi phnungi!
Some of Aisha's family members consoled Rathod and took the new coupl to stage, where everyone came to congratulate them.
Chotu & Liza came back, empty handed.
Shree : kahan hain?
Liza : Nahi hain..vaag gayee.
On the other hand, Roshni took Addu to feed,Arjun followed her.After feeding Addu, Aisha's mom took Addu away and asked Arjun & Rosh to have dinner. But Aisha's cousins again took Addu from her and settled in a corner, where Saakshi & Riya was waiting for them.
Addu flared up seeing his two backstabber aunts and started yelling. Riya took him into her arms and patted him fondly. But Addu was adamant..Saakshi also came forward to fondle & make Addu calm. But it became worse. As he found Saakshi in his Arm's length, the junior Rawte didn't miss his chance for revenge...he tightly fisted Saakshi's open hair locks and pulled them.
Saakshi : ah!!..choro Addu..plz.
A series of angry blabbering were thrown to her. Nobody understood a word, but the Anger. Riya tried her best to free Saakshi's hair..and saving hers from Addu.
Riya : Shh.Addu...hum friends hain na! tum mere cute sa rosogolla ho na! calm down...my baby...hum sab ek hi team main hain na?
Addu stopped, "Ek hi team main?, really? Toh tab mom ne inse shoes bachane ko kyun kahan? Yeh dono phirse mujhe bewkoof bana rahi hain.." he grawled in angre again.
Riya : aab maasi ko chor do...hum toh kehl rahe the...dekho..maasi ro rahi hain na!Maaf kardo beta!
Saakshi's eyes were welled up due the pain, that little Rawte still had her hairlock into his fist. Now she tried her bit.
Saakshi : haan..yeh dekho shoe..(she gave Addu the shoe back) take it.
Addu took the shoe and looked at them suspiciously. He had to release Saakshi's hair for that...but he mentally took a note to take his revenge later.
Riya : aab yeh shoe jo vi Rathod sir ko dega na..Rathod sir usko gift denewale hain...dekho..aab tumko gift milega..toh baby we did it for you na!!
Saaksi : But Rathod sir se gift toh demand karna padega na?
Riya : oh toh hum sab karenge..Addu ke liye? Hain na Golu!!(she kissed Addu's cheeks)
Addu held the shoe tightly. These girls are cunning! But he enjoyed their fondlings... "Payaar badi payaar se jatati hain" he chuckled.
After 15 minutes, Addu's masis' took him to Rathod, demanding their "Nek"
***********************
Rathod eyed the ladies standing in front of him, with big cheesy smile crept on their lips. Addu was in Ri's arms, and was wriggling to go to his uncle Sam. He didn't missed the shoe in that kid's hand.
Riya : (in Addu's ear)Haan..haan..chali jaana..pehle tere gift toh confirm karr doon.do minute rukh na!
Arjun : First show me his shoe, then he'll decide. Addu, yahan aa..
He approached to take his son back...Riya moved two step backward.
Saakshi : No way..Addu is with us...
Arjun ignored her and looked at Addu..
Arjun : Come Addu...
And addu almost jumped to his dad. Arjun took his son from Riya and moved to Rathod. Addu outstretched his shoed hand to Rathod. Rathod took Addu in his arms.
Rathod : Yeh kya! Iska bi naak nahi hain!
Riya : Accha hua!
Saakshi : Haan..dekhne main dono almost same hain...pehnoge toh bura nahi lagega...
Liza: left wala jyada chewed hai...
Chotu : Yeh Rathod sir ke shadi ka sabse memorable cheez hain..
Shree : haan..aur Addu ko toh Rathod sir zyada kuch bol vi nahi payga!
Rathod : yaar Addu yeh kya karr dia! Arjun! Tere bete ne..
Aisha : Not fare! Addu..tujhe yeh shoe nahi dena chahiye tha!
Rathod : Haaw! Tum biwi ho ya dushman?
Aisha : Biwi hi hoon...lekin Addu ne shoe dia aur tum usko kuch nahi dia...yaad karo..ek shoe bachaya..aur dusra le aaya.. upar se usko daant rahe ho!
Rathod : Aur dono shoe ka aadhe se jyada naak kha gaya...yeh shoe hain Aisha! Cheezcake nahi...jo khane se accha hota hain..agar bimaar padd gaya toh!!
Roshni : Uski chinta matt karo..ghar jaate hi usko koi broth banake khila dungi..tumhe shoe ki padi hain..yahan mere bete ne kya kya try kia hain..laddu..pulaw, chicken, kabaab, kheer, icecream, cold drinks...
Shree : Kurta, chunri, chair, pillow, sandalwood, flowers, fingers, spoon...
Chotu : list Khatam hone main puri raat nikal jayega!
Sameer's mom interrupted this time ,and asked them to finish this. They had to perform the Viddai. Sameer gave a good amount of money to his shoe stealers..and made them happy.
*******************************
In Rathod's house.
The Rathod's welcomed the new bride. And made the couple sit in the hall, meanwhile girls went to decorate their room. Saakshi & Riya came along with them, saying that they are part of ETF so that they had right to join Rathod. Rathod didn't mind at those mad ladies. Meanwhile, Roshni took Aisha upstairs.
Addu was resting on Arjun's lap, that kid was tired, but sleep was far away from his eyes. He was observing everything with utmost curiosity and now he was enjoying his uncle Sam's miserable condition, due to his dad & other uncles' teasing, closing his eyes.
Rathod : saram karro! Yahan ek 6 month ka baccha hain..
Arjun : Haan..aab isko ek friend toh chahiye jiske saath isko chor sake... nahi toh saare baatain iske saamne karna padega na!!
Chotu : Sir?
Shree : Yeh ek aur bacche ki baat karr raha hain..
Rathod : Toh ghar jaa..main aur Aisha isme tera koi help nahi karr sakte...
Arjun : Dekh Rathod...mere bete ne tere shoes bachaya..aab uska reward usko milna chahiy na..Pehli baar koi kaam kia hain mere jaan ne (kissed his son)
Rathod : Haan..toh..
Arjun : Toh..tere 1st anniversary tak iska gift ready ho jaana chahiye...
Before Rathod could retort, Roshni came down.
Roshni : sameer upar chal...Aisha is waiting...
Rathod got up, and boys accompanied him. Arjun handed Addu to Roshni. They assumed the kid was dozzed off.
Arjun : He's tired Rosh...it was a long day for him.
They reached at Rathod's door steps here girls blocked Sameer's way.
Liza : Gate Tax diey bina Andar jaana mana hain..
Neha : Pockets main jo vi hain sab nikal do..nahi toh...
Roshni: puri raat yehi bahar chaukidaari karna padega...Sochlo ACP...Shaadi ke din hi demotion!!
Rathod : Oh ladies..yeh mera room hain...
Roshni : Tha..aab..
Liza : Mrs. & Mr. Rathod ki hain...
Addu opened his eyes to see the drama, he saw his new-married uncle become red in anger.. he looked at his dad & others, who were smirking. Ek ko pareshaan karke sab khush ho raha hain...starnge!' He thought.
Arjun saw Addu stirred up and tried to handle this situation.
Arjun : Arre yeh sab ki chakkar main Addu jag gaya...jaldhi khatam karo na!!
Rathod : Riya, Saakshi...iss taraf aao...
Saakshi & Riya : No way...avi vi hum ladkiwale hain!!
Rathod again paid the monsters and warded everyone off from there. Then he entered his room, and sighed in relief.
