Mrinalini came out of the house.
"Dev… Was that Radhika?" she asked anxiously.
"Yes…." Replied Dev, still gazing absent mindedly, at the car speeding away from his home.
"Do you know where she is going?" asked Mrinalini, joining Dev.
"Ha…. I think she's going home…. To Jimmy….." he replied back.
"I want to talk to her…take me to her Dev!"
Dev nodded obediently, with a look of despair.
Within a few miuntes Dev's car was following the tracks of Radhika's.
Finally, the car came to a silent stop. Outside Radhika's place.
Mrinalini and Dev, walked through the lush, green lawn, and stood outside Radhika's door.
Dev pressed the bell, as he noticed Radhika's car parked outside her garage.
No answer.
Mrinalini, looked on, expecting the beautiful face she just saw some miutes ago, to greet them, with an angry face of course!
Dev, pressed the bell again. Impatiently this time.
"She won't open the door!" he exclaimed.
Saying so, Dev took out his i-phone from his cell,and dialed Radhika's number.
Meanwhile Radhika lay on her bed, her face buried on her pillow, crying away.
"Par… Dev, tumhare pariwaar wale… agar unhone mujhe accept nahi kiya to….."
"Ofho! Phirse tension? Tumhe kya baat baat par pareshan hone ki aadat hai? Who maan gaye!" Dev replied.
"What? Who…who maan gaye?" asked Radhika excitedly.
"Tum khush ho?" Dev asked.
Radhika laughed at him with disbelief.
"Yeh sab…..itni khushiyan ek saath…main inhe kaise sambhaloon?.... oh Dev…tumne mujhe saari zindagi bhar ki khushi ek pal mein hi dedi! "
"tum khush ho?" Dev asked again.
"Ha baba! Bahut zyada khush hoon!" Radhika grinned.
"Ha….woh maan gaye….." he said softly, looking away from Radhika.
"Mujhse jhooth kyon kaha Dev….kyon….. we are engaged…aur tumne apne gharwalon se iske baarein mein bataya tak nahi…… tumhari bhabi ke samne…aaj mujhe kitni sharmindagi mehsus hui….." she sniffed.
"Par…who sab to main samajhti hoon Dev… par Mummy?" Mrinilini replied, with despair.
"Aap, ko yahi daar hai na ki ma nahi manegi?" asked Dev.
"Ha Dev…. Dadi maan jayangi…. Par Mummy…agar unhe Radhika ki bite hue zindagi ke baarien mein pata chala…to who nahi manengi… I am sure…" sighed Mrinalini.
"Maine Radhika ko propose kar diya hai di…. She's my fianc" Dev, replied back.
"What?!" Mrinalini exclaimed.
Radhika could hear her door bell buzzing away, impatiently.
She knew who it was.
"Mujhe akela chor do Dev!!" she shouted, frustrated.
The ringing stopped after a few minutes.
Radhika sat up in her bed, rubbing away her tears.
She looked towards the door, longingly.
"Yeh maine kya keh diya….oh Dev…. I didn't mean it baby…." She said softly, shaking her head.
Suddenly, her i-phone began to ring.
Radhika smiled tearfully to see Dev's face flashing on the screen.
She received the call, after a bit of hesitation.
No sooner had she received the call, than Dev began to speak.
"Radhika…Radhika…meri baat suno Radhika…please…for kanha's sake at least…mujhe ek mauka to do apni safai dene ka…. Please honey…." He begged.
Radhika ended the call.
"shit!" cried Dev, kicking his leg against the balcony railings.
"She doesn't want to talk to me…usne phone kaat diya di….ab main…"
Dev's words were interrupted, by Radhika, as she opened the door slowly and faced Dev and Mrinalini.
"Thank you….Jaisa main keh rahi thi… Isme Dev ki koi galti nahi hai Radhika….Dev tumse bahut zyada Pyaar karta hai…. Who tumhare bina jee nahi sakta…. Par usse Kahin na kahi pata tha…ki shayad mummy… you understand what I mean…isliyein…tumhe kho dene ke dar se usne hum sab se yeh baat chupai…." Said Mrinalini, as Radhika handed over a cup of coffee to her.
Dev had managed to persude Radhika finally, after a lot of pleading and assurances.
"I assure you Radhika…. I wont desert you…ever…. This…" Dev said, picking up Radhika's right hand.
"This ring, is a sign of that…. Please believe me…. Give me a chance Radhika….I don't wanna lose you…."
So, finally Radhika had broken into a uncontrollable smile, when Dev dramatically knelt down on his knees in front of her like a kid, punished, holding his ears.
And, FINALLY he had the permission to resume his office, after a warm hug, that he received from Radhika.
"Main bhi uske bina nahi jee paungi bhabi…" Radhika replied, sitting down opposite to Mrinalini.
"Please call me di! Dev mujhe di kehke bulata hai…" smiled Mrinalini.
"Okay….di…"smiled Radhika back.
"Mujhe ata hai di…ki Dev ne jo bhi kiya meri khushi ke liyein kiya….par apne gharwalon se who itni baari baat kab tak chupata?.... ek na ek din to Aunty to sacchai batani hogi na….. aur main nahi chahti di…ki main aapke ghar mein, koi bhi jhoot ke sahare kadam rakkhu…. Main chahti hoon ki Aunty ko sab sacch pata ho…sab kuch…." Radhika replied, staring at her coffee.
Mrinalini placed her hand, warmly over Radhika's.
"Tum bahut acchi ho Radhika…. Aur main apne bhai ko aise ghut te huye nahi dekh sakti…. Main tumhari madad karna chahti hoon…" she said.
Radhika looked up, with expectancy.
"Aap…. Really? She asked.
Mrinalini nodded her head, with assurance.
"Par…Radhika…. Mummt ko tumhare past ke baarein mein batana zaroori nahi hai…." Mrinalin said, trying her best to make Radhika change her decision.
Radhika shook her head vigourosly.
"Nahi di…. Main nahi chahti ki aane waale kal mein, unko apni choti bahu ki wajah se baharwalon se tane sunne pare….please….. aur unhe apne bahu ke baarein mein sab kuch janne ka pura hakh hai…who Dev ki ma hai…. Main unhe koi bhi dhoke mein nahi rakhna chahti…aur di…aaj nahi to kal unhe kisi na kisi tarah sacch [ata chal hi jayega…. Tab unhe aur bhi dukh hoga…. Isse to behtar hai, ki main ab dukh she loon…. Itne din dukh saha hai…. Kuch aur din hi sahi….."
Radhika looked at Mrinalini, and tried to give a small confident smile.
Mrinalini looked on at the lady sitting in front of her, with awe.
"I want to go to India di…." Radhika said, suddenly.
Dev sat in his office.
He looked at the clock , near him.
Ten minutes to seven, it showed.
Dev, dropped his pen, and picked up his i-phone and dialed Vivek's number.
It was not long before he heard Vivek's voice.
"Hallo… bhaiya…aap kahan ho? Mere ghar mein?" he asked.
"Ha Dev… our flight is scheduled for ten, tonight…. Can we meet?"
Dev heard his elder brother's comforting voice.
"Ji bhaiya…main bas kuchi der mein office se nikal raha hoon… See ya!"
And Dev ended the call.
Dev had been stuggling with his report for the last two hours… and it was driving him crazy.
The day had been a stressful one for him. All, those mind-boggling murder and suicide cases, along with Radhika's anger. His mother, of course was another cause of stress too.
But, on the positive note, Mrinalini and Vivek's arrival had been a silver lining for him.
Dev smiled to himself, as he remembered his brother, and sister-in-law, fondly. It had indeed been ages since he had seen them. "I wish they could stay over for a longer time…" he sighed.
The very sight of his "di" had indeed been sight for his eyes.
Dev was just about to complete, a review, when suddenly the telephone in his office rang.
"Yes?" he asked receiving the phone.
As Dev listened to the receptionist's voice over the phone, his face assumed a serious expression. His relaxed brows put up a frown.
"Send him in…." he said after a few seconds.
Dev did not have to wait for long.
He heard a knock in his door.
"Come in…." he said.
"So….tumhi ho who mahan hasti…" he said to himself, sarcastically, as he saw Keshav coming in, and walking towards him.
"Hallo Mr. Purohit! I am…" began Keshav, extending his hand.
Dev took it.
"Keshav Malhotra…." Dev finished Keshav's incomplete sentence.
"And please call me Dev…" he replied, putting up a fake smile.
"Aap mujhe jaante hai?"
Keshav sounded surprised.
"Please have a seat" Dev answered.
Keshav obliged.
"Dekho Dev mere paas baat ghuma fira ke kehne ki time nahi hai…shayad tumhe pata hai, ki main Radhika ka ex- boy friend hoon…" said Keshav.
Dev, felt irritated.
"Phir to shayad aap ko abhi chalein jana chahiyein Mr. Malhotra…coz time to mere paas bhi nahi hai waste karne ke liye!" he retorted back.
"Aap ko mere baarein mein bataya kisne by the way?" he added, with curiosity.
"Vishakha ne… Radhika ki behen…Radhika ne usse aap ke baarein mein bataya tha…."
"hhmm…to kyun aaye ho yahan?" Dev asked.
"Dekho Dev..shayad tumhe pata nahi ki kuch bhi Radhika ke ateet ke baarein mein!"
Dev sat back, comfortably against his seat, and looked sternly at the figure sitting in front of him.
"Anything more?" he asked.
The person looked on, surprised at Dev's indifferent remark.
"Do you know, she had a pet called Jimmy too?.... why don't you sit down for a while... I'LL TELL YOU ABOUT HER PAST!...more than you know!" he added.
Keshav gave a wicked smile.
"Not only that…you have no idea Dev, about what sort of a girl she is…. Do you know she had a physical relationship with her cousin?"
Do you know she had a physical relationship with her cousin?
This last insinutation crossed all barriers of tolerance in Dev.
He stood up from his chair.
"Our meeting is over Mr. Malhotra…you may leave!" he said loudly.
Keshav stood up, surprised.
"Main tumhare bhalai ke liye bol raha hoon Dev…."
Dev could feel his blood beginning to boil.
"Mr. Purohit for you Mr. Malhotra….just because main itni der se chup baitha hoon , it doesn't give you the right to speak nonsense about my fianc! Isse pehle ki main bhool jaun, ki main apne office mein hoon..it's better that you leave….before I am compelled to have you thrown out of my office by the gaurds!" he said.
"What?!" Keshav said angrily.
"Shayad aapko englih utni samajh mein nahi aati Mr. Malhotra!" replied back Dev.
Keshav pointed his finger at him.
"You!?... tumhari itni himmat ke tum mujhse….keshav Malhotra se aise baat kar rahe ho!"
Dev could not control himself anymore.
He gripped Keshav's collar and threatened.
"Radhika meri hone waali patni hai….aur meri patni ke baarein mein jo aisi nonsensical baatein kahega, tumhe shayad andaaza bhi nahi hai ki main uske saath kya kar sakta hoon….. tumnhari kismat acchi hai…ke main office mein hoon… "
Saying so, he pushed keshav away.
Keshav straightened his collar, gave Dev a ferocious glance and walked away in a huff.
"Waise Mr. Malhotra…" called out Dev, from the back.
Keshav stopped on his tracks.
"Aap ki shaadi tut gayi yeh sunkar bahut dukh hua…." Dev said, with sarcasm in his voice.
