Siya was in her room, keeping the ironed clothes in the wardrobe.
SIYA- hmmm mmm m... Hmmm hmm hmmmm... La la laaaa....
She was humming a song while working. She takes Ram's shirt and goes near the wardrobe to keep it at his shelf. She stops in between and gets surprised when someone embraces her from back.
RAM- jabse tere naina... Mere naino se.. lage re...
Ram started singing the song which Siya was humming. He makes her to face him and brings her at the centre of room.
RAM- tabse deewana hua, sabse begana hua.. Rab bhi dewana lage re...
He holds her both hands and twirled her round while she laughs at him. He pulls her towards him and wraps his arms around her waist.
RAM- rab bhi deewana lage re... Mmmm...
He whispered the last line almost touching his nose to hers. She closed her eyes smiling.
RAM- siya...
SIYA- hmm..??
RAM- why didn't you tell me.?
Siya opens her eyes hearing Ram's question. She looks at him who was smiling and waiting for her answer.
RAM- kya hua.?
Asked Ram looking at Siya's reaction. She sighed heavily and nods in disbelief.
SIYA- humare ghar me na.. koi bat nahi chup sakti.. it's impossible..
Said Siya removing Ram's hands from the grip and moving towards the bed to take the clothes.
RAM- isn't it good.? Why we should hide anything from our people..
Said Ram following Siya as she moves towards the wardrobe.
SIYA- yes.. it is nice.
She turns to face him.
SIYA- but me aapko kya batati Ram.? I already knew that the test would come negative..
Said Siya while Ram smirk at her crossing his hands.
RAM- acha.?
Siya blush looking down. She moves towards the bed to take remaining clothes without looking at Ram.
SIYA- aur ye sab log na.. they are too dramatic. Made such a mess of such a small thing..
Said Siya nodding in disbelief. She turns to move towards the cupboard when Ram stops her standing in front of her.
RAM- I know.. but agar aapki tabyet kharab hai then anyone will think that way... Maa ko pata hota to wo bhi pehele aisa hi sochti.
Siya smile at him nodding her head. He takes the clothes from her hand and keep it inside the wardrobe himself. He looks at Siya and makes her sit on the bed and himself kneeled down infront of her.
RAM- jo hua let it be. But first tell me, now how you are feeling.?
Asked Ram holding her hands. Siya lightly patted on his hand nodding her head in yes.
SIYA- I am better now. Kal tak to aur bhi theek ho jaungi..
Ram smile hearing her. He looks at their hands which were holding each other. Siya observe his expressions.
SIYA- kuch bat karni hai.?
Asked Siya and Ram looks at her in wonder.
RAM- how did you know.?
Siya smile hearing his question. She makes him sit beside him.
SIYA- shayad hi aisa koi hoga, jo aapko mujhse jyada ache se janta ho.. I can read your expressions too..
Said Siya smiling. Ram pulls her towards him and she keeps her head on his shoulder.
RAM- siya.. what I was thinking.. is... Bhale hi pregnancy test negative aayi.. but don't you feel we should start thinking about this thing..?
Siya looks at him suddenly.
SIYA- ram..?
RAM- no no.. don't take me other way. U want to just discuss this thing with you..
Siya didn't said anything and just kept on looking at Ram. While he continued to speak further.
RAM- I have experienced so many types of relationships in my life. Being a son, being a brother.. and now.. being a husband too..
Said Ram touching Siya's face lightly while she smile at him.
RAM- and I feel... That... I want to.. experience fatherhood too..
Ram stammered to complete his sentence making Siya to bow down. Ram notes her expressions.
RAM- we have never talked about these things Siya. May be it is embarrassing for you..
SIYA- nahi Ram..
Siya interrupts while Ram stops being confused. She smile holding his hands.
SIYA- I am not feeling embarrassed. Truly speaking.. I too wanted to have a talk with you about this thing.
Ram smile hearing her.
SIYA- mene maa se bat ki.. Manvi Urmila and Shruti se bhi bat ki. And I think.. I.. I am ready for... This...
Said Siya looking at him making Ram happy. His smile widened and he pulls her in a hug.
RAM- Siya.. are you sure you don't have any temerity..?
SIYA- you think I will take any decision in a rush about our baby ?
Siya couterquestions him making him to shook his head in disagreement. After some time they leave and looks at each other.
RAM- from today, we are going to experience something different and new in our life. I promise you, this will be a very happy experience.
Siya smile at him nodding her head in agreement. Ram takes her hand and gave a light kiss on her back of the palm while Siya's smile widened...
*****
At morning, everyone were settled at the temple area where Siya was reciting the Ramayana and everyone were listening to her.
SIYA- बेगि बिलंबु न करिअ नृप साजिअ सबुइ समाजु।
सुदिन सुमंगलु तबहिं जब रामु होहिं जुबराजु॥
Siya looks at Manvi and indicates her to speak and translate the poem.
MANVI- Raja Dashrath kehte hai ki ab Zara si bhi der nahi karni chahiye aur jald hi sari tayari ya shuru kar deni chahiye. Shubh aur mangal din wohi hai jab shree ramchandra khud Raja ban jaye..
Dashrath smile hearing Manvi. He looks at Ram who was busy looking at Siya singing. He nods his head thinking about his retirement while Kranti watch him doing that.
SIYA- बिमल बंस यहु अनुचित एकू। बंधु बिहाइ बड़ेहि अभिषेकू॥
प्रभु सप्रेम पछितानि सुहाई। हरउ भगत मन कै कुटिलाई॥
Siya reads the next lines and indicates Urmila to translate the poem.
URMILA- prabhu Ramji kehte hai, ki hum charo bhaiyo ne bachpan se sabkuch ek sath kiya hai. Par raja bas me banunga isme mujhe dukh ho raha hai.
Kranti looks at Ram who was smiling hearing the phrases. She looks at Bharat, Lakshman and Shatrughan who were sitting beside Ram.
SIYA- जेठ स्वामि सेवक लघु भाई। यह दिनकर कुल रीति सुहाई॥
राम तिलकु जौं साँचेहुँ काली। देउँ मागु मन भावत आली॥
SHRUTI- shree ram ke raja banne ki bat sunkar, manthra rani kaikayi se kehti hai ki bada bhai raja aur chote bhai sewak ban jayenge. Aisa hi hota hai jab satta hath me ata hai. Baki bhaiyon ke sath na-insafi hojayegi..
Shruti translate the verse sung by Siya making Kranti more furious. She got light tears at the corner of her eyes and she gulped in fear. Siya closed the Ramayana keeping back at its place and everyone gets up from their place.
SUMITRA- didi..
Sumitra calls for Kranti as she was busy in her thoughts. Everyone looks at Kranti getting confused. Ram moves near her and keeps his hand on kranti's shoulder.
RAM- maa..
Kranti's thoughts broke and she looks at Ram.
RAM- what happened.? What are you thinking.?
Kranti looks at him expressionless. She motioned her eyes at everyone who were looking at her already. She shook her head and gets up from her place.
SIYA- are you fine maa.? Kuch hua hai kya.?
Asked Siya moving towards Kranti. She lightly nods her head in disagreement, smiling lightly. Suddenly the door bell rang gaining everyone's attention. One of the worker opens the door and welcome Sumant.
DASHRATH- areh Sumant.. you are here at this time.?
Asked Dashrath in confusion and Sumant moves towards him.
SUMANT- sorry to disturb you early morning sir. Actually there was an important documents, you have to sign at.
Said Sumant giving the file to Dashrath. He nods and takes the files from him while everyone moves towards the dinning area.
SIYA- Sumant ji.. have a seat. Hum sabke sath breakfast kijiye..
Siya offered Sumant to sit while he smile at her.
SUMANT- thank you Siya. But not now, I am in a hurry, have to go to office..
Siya smile and nods at him. Dashrath signs the papers and passes the file to Sumant.
SUMANT- thank you sir.
DASHRATH- sumant.. what about that Hyderabad site.? Did they call for the confirmation.?
Asked Dashrath and Sumant nods in agreement.
SUMANT- we have passed that venture sir. Finally. They are ready to start the new project.
Everyone gets happy hearing the news from Sumant.
DASHRATH- congratulations.. ye sab Ram ke wajah se possible hua hai.
Said Dashrath looking at Ram while Kranti feels bad hearing Dashrath praising only Ram.
RAM- no papa. Is bar mujhse jyada Bharat ne is project ke liye mehnat ki hai. So he has to get all the credit.
Said Ram patting on Bharat's back while he smile getting embarrassed. Dashrath nods in agreement while Kranti smile a little.
DASHRATH- sumant.. look into the project site and start preparing the documents.
Sumant nods in agreement.
SUMANT- I will take a leave.
He leaves from there and Dashrath turns towards the boys .
DASHRATH- sons.. when the documents get ready, tum me se kisiko Hyderabad visit karna hoga. Ok.?
The boys looks at each other and nods in agreement while the girls looks at Dashrath in surprise. Kranti watches their expressions.
KRANTI- ye kya ? Aap firse kisi ko bahar bhej rahe hai.?
Said Kranti disappointedly. Dashrath smile at her.
DASHRATH- this is work Kranti. This will last life time. Atleast until they retire.
Said Dashrath indicating towards the boys while the girls smile lightly. Kranti nods in disbelief and everyone gets busy with their breakfast...
