Part 84
Dev stood there, looking at that sketch of him, which she drew even before seeing him, her first image came in front of him, her eyes which tried to convey something under that dripping water drops.
Sushma: Radhika , why your hair look so meesy, that si not you, my princess.
Radhika: It was easy when it was short,a nd now when mom hold me to comb it, it is so painful.
Sushma: but I think all the princess have nice long hair.
Radhika in a lazy tone: but that all striaht and silky, look at mine wavy and thick
Sushma: no but and all. you should listen to mom and keep it nicely like before. My princess should look beutiful with her long hair....
Radhika: sweety, please
Sushma holding her chin: you said your prince eyes should sparkle , right?
Radhika smilingly: ha
Sushma: then Dev also want to see his Radhika special, only Radhika become real princess in his eyes if she meet his expectation. The prince also may be dreaming to have his princess with long beautiful hair. But her silence prompted me to call her name : Radhika
She looked at me and asked : is that his name?
Sushma: whose name?
Radhika: my prince name.
Sushma chuckled: what?
Radhika: Dev, where is he? Have you met him, is his eyes are sparkly?
Sushma: Radhika, stop it now, you will drive me crazy too, come let's get this to granny, she is asking for long time.
Radhika looked at me silently, but her questions went on, we talked about your features, teased each other, we draw joker faces, but her mind was drawing a clear picture of you without my knowledge, and she copied that in this canvas to show me....
I never thought I was giving a clear vision to Radhika's dreams, her thoughts.... where she was trying to draw a picture of him.
He jerked and looked at his mom's face, she saw his tear filled eyelid.
Suchi seeing the driver at the front door: Oh I am sorry.
Driver: that's ok madam, are we starting now?.....or...
Suchi looking back at Sushma: Sushma, actually he didn't had anything, had some coffee that's all, even Dev also didn't eat or drink anything till now.
Sushma: why you didn't tell me early. Just five minutes. Saying that she went to kitchen.
Suchi: come inside.
Driver: no madam , I am fine, I will be around here. Saying that he went out
Suchi coming back saw all those letters on the floor , she looked back to make sure the driver left. She sat down and picked one letter in her hand and slowly opening it she read thru Radhika's words, she saw a new face of Radhika thru those words. Folding it back, she imagined the face of Radhika she met, thru their outing and her lips mumbled " where are you now? How can you hide from all these dreams? Can you live without your Prince? Or are you seeing all of us near you, thru those phone calls and thru these letters? Where are you Radhika?"
"suchi, call him, it is ready" Sushma's voice brought her back to reality. Sushma noted those letters on the floor.
Suchi : no Sushma , there is nothing wrong in it. We all do it. How many times I told Lechu, that to bring the color of her skin, she needs to drink milk. And she still drink milk, but now I don't need to say such silly things. As a doctor by profession, I was doing it, so you didn't do anything wrong, also, now I know how much you all missed us, you tried to see all of us in your talk, you tried to fill that gap thru your talk, whereas we never thought of that feeling. We were reasoning ourself by hiding in our own busy life, not thinking about granny's mind, or babuji's mind. So your deeds are reasonable, maybe these all wouldn't have happened, if we kept our contact. Then there is no place for dreams, or expectations. Dreams and expectations comes to fill the gap that exist between the want and desire, or a hope in one's life. So you are not at fault, or maybe we all are at fault. But then in a determined tone she said; but we need to find out Radhika, there is not much time left, before everyone comes to know about it , we need to find her out.
Sushma picking all those letters in her hand: Suchi, you call the driver, let me check on dev
Suchi: um ...and went to call him
Sushma went near and touched his upper arm. Dev looked at her with his dried eyes.
Dev : buva, I understood my Radhika now, You don't need to say it anymore. Many times as I asked her when she fall in love with me, each time she gave me vague answers, maybe she doesn't know when she is , because I was in her thoughts all the time, she never acted as a strange person to me, she talked to me as if she knew me well, she never showed me that uneasiness when we first met, she was totally into playing around with me, I didn't notice her eyes cornering me, but I have seen her eyes when we first met, and I have seen her eyes and heard her voice when I saved her from that water. And she easily escaped from answering both times, when i tried to clarify it thru her words. He smiled thinking of her actions and thne continued: so Is she was testing me buva? All this time!, then why she left me without saying anything, did I fail to convince her of my love for her? Or did she fail to understand me? Whatever, but we failed to convince that to each other , right? A tear drop rolled thru his smile.
Sushma: no beta, she is there some where, near by only, she is not completely vanished? Otherwise she won't be writing those letters to me, or call and talk to Suhci or Rohini, so she is there somewhere near. Let me go and check the breakfast thing, ok. You also come after refreshing, suchi went to call the driver.
Dev: ji he watched her walking away.
He finished quick and the driver left by then.
Dev: I need your help...
Sushma: my help!
Dev: I need her recent letters, if possible.
Sushma: ha beta, why you need to ask, if that helps you to reach her, then sure, come
Taking that in his hand: Thanks Buva and looking at Suchi: mom, do you need to return now? Or can I take this taxi
Suchi: why? What is in your mind?
Interupting him Suchi: what are you going to do? what ever it is , we will go together.
Dev: don't worry about it Mom, now it is my responsibility to find Radhika out, I will bring her back, and I want you to trust me with this, the trust that you had on me earlier, I know I broke it, but I want to regain that trust, without my mom's blessings, love and trust, I won't be able to do anything, I need to see that smiley face, before I step out because that always gives me the hope that I will win, so I only need that, rest will come to me with my effort.
Suchi looked at Sushma and Sushma tried to give a teary confident smile on his words.
Dev: see mom, I want to clear this doubt from your mind. Please give me one chance, I will bring your DIL back in this next 5 days, before anyone comes back home, or else, I tell you, your Dev will not return if he fail in his mission.
Suchi: what are you saying Dev?
Dev: I told you mom, you need to trust me, one last time, please and give me permission.
Sushma coming near, held Dev's chin, and said with a smile: ha, you will win, because you are the prince, and I can still see that sparkling in your eyes, because you are confident , and I can see the mind of a warrior.
.
Dev moving his body back, told his mom, looking into her eyes: you need to, just the same way you waited for us these two long years, just get back into your routines mom, I will be back on time with Radhika.
Suchi: um, I will try. I will wait for that knock at the door, she continued with her hopeful eyes...and when I open the door I will see you both. Heina?
Dev's throat moved: um, holding his mom, more closer affirming her words...
Sushma smiled hearing Suchi's words. Suddenly Suchi " but Dev you need money, right?
Dev with a thought: ha mom, vo, I don't have much in my purse.
Suchi went and checked her bag and took out few notes and handling that to him: will it be enough.?
Dev: I will manage mom, I have the card with me.
Suchi: but how you will carry this
Sushma: one minute
Dev with a smile: anything buva....
Sushma: one minute. She went quick to the upstairs room and came , gave him few tees and pants that he left with his earlier visits.
Sushma: ok, now don't waste time, my prayers are with you dear.
Suchi stood patiently.
The driver: where you want to go?
Dev: I don't know
The man looked at him with a tease smile
Dev: I mean, will tell you once we start our journey
Driver with a curious smile: and why should I take you to your unknown destination.
Dev: because it will be interesting
Driver again smiled showing his pan stained teeth: why me?
Dev: Because you are the person
Driver: you sound strange...
Dev: I am a stranger with a smile on his lips.
Driver: interesting, do you have enough money to pay the bill?
Dev: Yes I do
Driver: then what is my problem. How long it may take?
Dev: I don't know.
Driver laughed out: and will you take my expense
Dev: yes I will, and I can.
Driver: ok then, get in.
He came back to his taxi, and got in to the back seat.
Driver with a smile: so now, tell me which direction.
Dev, with a smile : straight.
He looked at him through the mirror. And with a smile he ignited the engine.
Dev: I need to check on something, Till then you can go straight.
Driver with a smile: then on that way is my house, can I stop over once to tell them.
Dev: sure. No problem, I am not in a hurry till I find out where to turn the mode.
Driver: you take your time, while I drive you straight for now.
Dev opening the bag, took the letters out. Driver just watched his action through the rear view mirror and then looked straight.
Suddenly dev: is there is any post office nearby
Driver: ha
Dev: can you please stop over there for few minutes.
Driver: ha
Within minutes the car stopped near the post office. He went in. The driver looked at this strange person , still with that curious smile on his face, showing his pan stained teeth.
********************************************************
So friends, thank you for your patience to travel with me till this end, where we were able to see Sushma and Radhika's relation and their past. Hopefully my imagination was able to convince you till today. So now we are going to travel with Dev to find out his Radhika, whom he knows now very well. And he asked for 5 days time from his mom and he got the blessings of two sweet ladies. he may see her today itself or tomorrow????
With this journey he is not alone, now he got a company, a driver, who is a stranger, they may talk, he may let the driver go by evening, or by tomorrow or may be with him for next five days. I have no clue where they are heading to, but now they are together, But now my Dev is not weepy or confused, his mind is determined and he has the confidence, and he is smileing with a hope, so that is good sign.
Hope you will continue your journey. Next update will be on Monday (will send you PM), because the days are still so cold here, the snow is not melting, it is still thick and solid, but the day is bright and it is sparkling outside, giving the hope of upcoming spring, and we are eagerly waiting for that moment, for the new ones to sprout from these froze ground.
Till I meet you again, thank you & take care
Devika.
yes chalhov.. and it is that innerspace of Radhika (girl/woman) where she try to hide herself, and the outspoken world of Dev (men) that becomes unexpected villains of their life. If the couple is able to overcome that , then they will be able to maintain the equalibrium of life of inequalitites.I think both have a problem of expressing their love and talking it out though both totally love each other
Oh NiHa... the prince thing, finally I was able to find an end to that mystery... big sighDevika today i remebered ur price princess story, Radh sketching her prince while doing the update.š
