PART_6
"You have returned earlier!? " it s a excited statement rather than a question from ishwari..
Dev nodded and sat beside her .
"For me?" she asked with a expectancy while watching him intently..
Dev smiled .His mother was a child at times.
A child who needs attention.
If he gifted her a whole set of diamond ornaments she would simply smile.
But if he gave her some of his time in his busy schedule she would be on cloud nine.
"Yesterday I came late and u were in sound sleep so thought of spending some time with you ma"
He took some oil in his hand and started massaging his ma's feet gently.
The feet which walked -walked and walked to give her children a roof to live-food to eat..
"I waited till 10 but the medicines are heavy dose I guess . I couldn't even sit afterwards" ishwari made a sorry face.
"Stop playing with my fingers and get back to home dev. Ma would be waiting for you." saying this sonakshi pushing him inside the car the previous day crossed his inner mind.
"Sorry ma I won't be late hereafter" Dev said in a determined tone.
"Am I interfering too much" ishwari's asked him in a low voice.
Not understanding what was she referring Dev Stared blankly at her.
"I mean - asking you to come home early -making you return in the afternoon.. Am I disturbing your works? " she asked searching his face for the answers not only for this question but for some more unasked questions..
"Ma nothing is more important than you- for me" saying this Dev wiped his hands in the towel made her settle down on the bed.
"I'm fine Dev. I will make dinner for you today. " she asked this as a pleading..
Dev stayed mum for a while then said "ma I have to go somewhere at evening. May be will return late"..
" oh ok then" ishwari said disappointedly.
"If this evening passes smoothly then tomorrow I want my ma's world famous halwa" he grinned widely.
Ishwari waved his hand and asked Dev to come near. She put her hand on his head and blessed him "Dev! my blessings are with you. I will pray shivji to make your evening more success, more memorable"..
Dev 's eyes glistened " I'm sorry ma. I couldn't reveal about the evening now"he thought and immediately averted his eyes as he knew his ma could read his eyes.
He took her hand from his head kissed it - put the quilt on her properly and left the room slowly.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"Bijoy why don't u understand. Dev felt his ma is in delicate state now. So he and sona both decided to give ishwari ji some time" Asha started 'manofying bijoy ' mission..
"Asha it's you who didn't understand. That ishwari ji blaming our child as she trapped her' raja beta' while working as a nutritionist and his mamiji -sure has a 'big shot girl' in her mind -that's why insulting us whatever opportunities she gets" bijoy roared.
"But Dev" before Asha could start bijoy interrupted
"Haan me too keep quiet because I believe Dev.I trust him.I respect him. But what is he doing now? Pretending like - he broke up with sona before them but on their back meeting her secretly.. I strongly doubted that he is fooling around my innocent kid'
Asha flinched at his accusation.
" shut up bijoy. They are working out to solve their problems together..and Dev is surely not that type of guy.Watch your words "dadiji interfered.
"Ma but" bijoy fumbled.
"I understand your concern as a father. But we should give a chance to our children to explain themselves. haina? " she asked in a motherly tone.
Bijoy found himself nodded to that.
"Good.that's why Asha invited Dev to our house" dadiji with her eyes urged her daughter-in-law to continue.. .
"And you should promise that you won't get anger in the end of each and every sentence but let him explain his state.ok"
Asha said with a pleading look..
"Whatever!!! Let's see" he resigned the conversation and went upstairs..
Both sasu ma and bahu looking each other and shrugged their heads ..
~~~~~~~~~~~~~'~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"Will he taunt me much? " Dev was sitting near his room's window ledge and in a video call with sonakshi.
"Don't say the great Dev Dixit is afraid of my baba" sona giggled..
"No no I have already faced his anger . But that time I 'm just your employer"
"Wait.when did it happened. And where were I then? " Sona asked surprisingly.
"When you were ma's nutritionist and I made you cry so much he straight away came to my office to threaten me " said Dev remembering that incident..
"He is wonderful. Isn't he? Usually he is very cool .But at the moment he sees my tears he will grow sharp claws"
I found my prince in you but my baba is my king always. And to him
- I am his pari "..
" mera bhi " Dev said.
"Huh" sona made a confused face.
"You are a 'pari' to me too" Dev said with full of love
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"Aww Sona it's beautiful. " Elena squealed in joy..
"Hmmm"
"What just a hmmm for this gorgeous saree. You said he doesn't know about colours but seeing this I think you underestimated him" Elena accused her.
Sona caressed the saree fondly and said "I agree it's a beautiful floral printed grey and golden blended Georgette saree with a designer blouse"
"Then what is your problem sona. Why you are mad at him? " Elena scratched her head
"The note. He sent a note along with this saying I have to wear this for this evening.. I mean today evening.. "Sona widened her eyes..
" so what? " Elena still understand what was the big deal in that.
"Many things are there.
First. It's a regular evening meet. If I go 'so decked up' what will ma- baba think? I will be thoroughly embarrassed.
Secondly it's a netted transparent saree. He clearly knew I never wear this type of saree. And and An... . "
"Ok.don't wear. I will own it happily" Elena put the saree on her - went and admired herself in the mirror.
"Grey color is great na" she added.
"Haan.but you don't know about the 50 shades of Mr. Grey " saying that sona thrust the note in her hand.
After reading the note elena burst into peels of laughter much to the annoyance of sona.
"Elena.just shut up. Or... "
"Otherwise I know many ways to shut your mouth.. That's what you want to tell.. No no that's what the note tells" now elena is clutching her stomach and laughing uncontrollably.
Sonakshi angrily glared at the orange coloured 'heart-shaped"note which tells.
"Wear this saree sweetheart. If you come with any explanations without wearing this saree I know many ways to shut your mouth instantly but beware - elders are around. Then don't blame me I didn't warn you before hand.
Yours
Dev "
"Devil nothing but a pure devil he is" sona stamped her foot in anger.
"If I were you I prefer the punishment to the gift" elena whispered near her ears.
"Shut up elena. I 'l give him earfull now" sonakshi tried to get him through the phone but obviously her Mr. Grey ignored the calls.
"Mr.obhodro tumi ek dum impossible" Sona sweared under her breath.
"Sona don't make a fuss. Yes it's netted saree but if you took fleets properly and pin it in the front means it won't look transparent." Elena said
Sona's face brightened." But the blouse is semi stiched . I will check whether any other blouse suits with this. "
"No sona. This blouse is the highlight of this collection. Please don't try any other. For Dussehera -one lady in the Indira Nagar stiched suits- in a short time for us . Do u remember. I'l call her. Wait. "
Elena made a call.
"Sona matter solved. We will go to her and she told, it will take only 40-50minutes to finish it -as it was already semi stiched ready made blouse. "
"But ma-baba what could I tell them.They will definitely say what's the hurry? Wear something else. " she is in a deep thinking.
"Oh I clearly see you are not interested in the saree but more interested in the sweet punishment.. "
Sona put her hand on elena's mouth blocking her teasings and dragged her downstairs "Already ma is asking baba to bring some provisions. We will use that excuse. you silently follow me"
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~'~~~~~~~~'~~~
Dev stood before Bose House's door. He smiled unknowingly.
Everytime he stood before this door -not only the door was opened but every time a new chapter of his life also opened.
He stood before this door to request miss.Bose to join as his mother's nutrition..
He stood before this door to give birthday cake for her mom..
He stood there in the midnight to check if she was safe as she accidentally sent a "h" in a message.
He stood there to ask sorry to her when he broke her mobile in anger.
He stood there many days and nights after the accident to see her how she was doing..
He stood there skipping his important meeting as he came to know his ma's nutrition was not well.
He stood there before the door finally after realising all those above mentioned feelings of him for her -were nothing but 'love' and came here to confess that to her.
After travelling through his memory line Dev got emotional and more nervous.
How long they came in their way... Suddenly he realized that there is no future for him without this certain "miss.bose"
She gradually became an integral part of him and he couldn't even imagine a second without her .
So whatever waiting for him behind this door -acceptance or refusal..
He would fight for his love ..
He would fight for her..
For his sonakshi..
He Breathed in and out relaxed him a bit and pressed the bell.
But to his dismay not his miss. Bose but other Bose opened the door.
Mrs. Bose..
"Namaste aunty" he said.
"Welcome Dev " Asha smiled a half smile but her eyes searched someone else behind him.
"Was she expecting some elders with me? " Dev thought.
"Where in the earth this Kharghosh has gone? " he thought agitatedly
"Dev !! Has sona with come with you? " Asha asked.
"What? Why.. I... I mean no ... Is she not at home? " Dev 's eyes scanned all through the house..
"Wo.. Wo.. I sent her to bring some provisions to the nearby departmental store. I totally immersed in the kitchen work and didn't even realize she hasn't returned yet. " her voice full of worry..
"What???? How long before has she gone? Did you try calling her? Ok. Let me call her. " Dev till couldn't understand head and tail of what Asha was saying but understood onething that Sonakshi was out of the house in that odd hour of night that too in the city like Delhi.
That one thing is enough for him to shake his whole being.
"No Dev she left her mobile at home. Elena is with her. Her calls came as " not reachable ".and Haan it's nearly 2hours over. Don't know why these girls taking this much time?. " Asha finished telling in one breath.
"Oh.. it's nearing 7 p.m now. Its not good to be alone" Dev's obhodro avatar slowly revealing it's face.. He shut his eyes tightly for a second to control his restlessness and anger.
"You sit and I bring water for you" Asha turned towards the kitchen.
Dev stopped her and said "leave everything...Pls tell me where is the shop. I will.."
Before he finished Bijoy entered out of nowhere and said "Asha that department store watch man said they left some where one and half an hour before itself. "
At the next moment Dev stood before bijoy. "You show me that shop. I will look for her".
Bijoy get annoyed " what do you think I didn't look out properly
for her. She is not there.. " his voice raised to some notches.
"So you have decided to come back??. First I don't know what is the need to send them alone at this time. " Dev's voice also matching bijoy's.
Asha and dadiji stood there 'wide open mouthed ' didn't know how to react..
"It's our area. And sona usually- like everyday goes there and more over it's in the next lane only. " bijoy turned his face away from Dev in anger.
"I'm not talking about every day. I'm asking about today. She is not having mobile with her. And it's more or less 2 hours gone. " Dev close his fists and trying to control his anger and turned towards Asha..
"Pls aunty come with me. I don't want to waste time in unnecessary talking. Pls hurry up" Dev started moving..
"Oh.. How dare he!!!. He thinks I'm not worried about sona. I'm wasting time in unnecessary talking"
Bijoy infuriated by Dev 's accusations which in truth not towards him..
Bijoy blocked their way. Folded his both hands near his chest
tilted his head so that he could see his eyes and said..
"Look Mr... She is my daughter"
"AND SHE IS MY EVERYTHING "
Dev's roaring voice vibrated through the whole house.
Bijoy stood stunned.
Dev dragged Asha with him and hurried out of Bose house.
When crossing the door Asha turned to look at her husband.
She expected a 'fire spitting 'dragon in bijoy.
But to her surprise he is smiling ...
