PART-2
The wind was blowing in slightly through the open glass part; brought the fragrance of fresh air along with it. Suchi was tapping onto Lechu's shoulder as she held her tight in her embrace.. as if she doesn't want her baby to wake up from her sweet dreams' ...she looked at Lechu's sleeping face.. the wind was fanning her small hairs on the forehead..and Lechu's arms were circled tightly over her upper arm. Suchi slowly moved to the side , giving more room for Lechu ...and slowly supported lechu's head on to her lap'... Lechu reluctantly loosen her hands from her mom's upper arm and brought it together to her chest and cradled down over her mom's lap. Suchi looked at her husband's face. A sparkle of hope was playing in his eyes that were fixed on the passing views' ....she can easily imagine what may fowing through his mind'
"Lechu, look windmill"' The excited sound of Dev from the front seat broke the silence inside. He turned back to see Lechu's expression and found her sleeping comfortably on his mom's lap' Suchi smiled at him as his disappointed eyes caught Lechu's sleeping face'.
" Is she still sleeping.. so what she was doing last night !".. then in a doubtful voice.. ..packing her dress' the whole night!.. his eyes gone wild imagining that and then looked at his mom's face for an explanation'
Suchi: I don't think it is the sleeplessness. Can't you feel the freshness in this air. We hardly get that chance, to travel with open window glasses. Imagine if you do the same back there in Delhi' she smiled at dev..
" Yes mom, you are right' this wind is so refreshing.." but then looking back at Lechu's posture.." then she should be awake and enjoy all these , right?.. otherwise she is going to miss all these na"..
" No Dev, she is not going to miss anything.. Because of unexpected blocks on the roads and traffic we really got delayed.. and now by night only we will reach Chandenpur' so you can see the real beauty of Chandenpur with the rise of the sun' "
'so chandenpur is a very beautiful village, but then why we never visited there earlier?"' Dev again presented his doubt..
'Shhhhhhhhhhh' please' ' The sleepy sound of Lechu's request, brought Mr. Surender's attention to back into reality..
Dev smiled and then looking at the driver.." are you tired? Can I take a turn?"
He looked at his dad's face for permission..
Surender : Chandru stop the car in next coffee shop, I would like to have a hot coffee..
Chandru: ji, Saab..
Surender looked at Dev: ha, dev, then you take the turn....
Dev looked back at him thankfully' and met his corner lip smile..
Dev felt happy as he saw the smile on his dad's face. It has been long due.. last two days, Dad and mom was in their own world. I never saw them like that. They never hide anything from us. Very friendly and even tease each other when situation demanded.. he kept his silence as he understood the seriousness behind the silence' suddenly as if forgot to ask earlier " where are we going to stay?"'
Suchi looked at Surendar.. He looked back at Suchi.. they shared the doubt' what to say..
The silence again broke by lechu's sound.." I also forgot to ask that.. where are we going to stay?'
Dev: so you are awake..!
Lechu: hum.. you go bro.. she sat straight on her back' How can I sleep when you make so much noise.... I was sleeping soundly on mom's shoulder, then she broght me to her lap, I was cuing in and you started your speech'
Dev: Lechu, that is not fair, I just wanted to show you the windmill' you look outside.. do you know what all you missed?
Lechu: Really.. what did I miss..
Suchi looked at Surender's face with a relief sigh as they don't have to answer their question now. She tried to close her eyes with a hope to see what might have waiting for them there?
Dev and Lechu was in their talk.. they totally forgot about their question' Chandru parked the car on the roadside near a coffee shop'
"..Sir, shop"'.
'hum' the doors were opened quickly and Dev took a deep sigh while stretching his back' Suchi felt her legs numb for few seconds as she kept them still for Lechu to sleep' Surender held her arm as she stepped out from the car.. Dev and Lechu enjoyed soda while Surender and Suchi waited for the hot coffee' They watched their kids as they went out through the door into the open air'
'in two hours we will be there"' Surender said in trance ..
'Hum.. and I am sure it will be all good"' suchi tried to complete the sentence..
He looked at his wife's hopeful words.. she is always like that ..very optimistic and so far she was always right.. 'ye Krishna, let this hope also see its fruit'' he prayed to the Lord in his mind..
It was getting dark again.. Lechu was running after Dev' Chandru was enjoying their nok-jok'. and was smiling as he was sipping onto his hot coffee'
