I stopped when Radhika was send to Chandenpur for her delivery.. remember!!.. otherwise also don't worry.. Part 121 is a small part, just for me to get back in form.. so thanks and here it is..
Part : 121
The day just passed with with it pace. The blushed sky gave way to the darkness.The stars were twinkling happily over the clear dark sky. The moon was at its thinnest curve , but was sparkling wide as if he is smiling enjoying the hide & seek game of the little ones around him.. Radhika's arms were resting comfortably over her tummy, as she wants her baby to sleep tight inside. The room was looking very tidy under that dim light.
He slowly pushed on those slightly open doors and sneak in comfortably. The soft ticking movement of the longer needle on his wrist watch gave him enough time to see the room more bright as his pupils accommodated well to the dim light. He kept the bag over the table and went and closed the door behind very softly. With a smile he walked near to the bed and found his Radhika sleeping comfortably holding onto her stomach. Her short hairs were softly fanning over her forehead, her long lashes were resting well on each other, he smiled looking at her peaceful face and then looked at those open window flaps.
His eyes lingered down trailing her arms and it got stuck at the resting point. Unknowingly his hand moved up to hold onto hers, to give that extra comfort to his baby. But then the thought of waking his wife up made him to pull his hand back.
"are you sleeping too beta? See papa came early , that also one day early. How can I stay away from you two for that long, ...and I am glad I did, so only I got the chance to see you two resting comfortably. Otherwise I am sure your mamma will be awake , waiting for me till I show my face to her, and then you also won't be able to take rest". He smiled talking to his baby secretly inside him and his face moved slightly tot he side along with that happy smile.
.
"are you awake!!!, you know that I am here!!! " The soft voice just came out unknowingly from his throat. As a reflex Radhika moved her hand from over her tummy and with a light smile she roll onto her back, still closing her eyes peacefully.
Suddenly Dev brought his finger over his lips saying a soft "shhh" looking at her tummy "mamma may wake up" and then with a smile looked at his wife's face lovingly. Unable to resist himself, his face moved near to her forehead, he paused closing an inch away from hers, and just gazed at her face closely. He controlled his breahting, sot hat his warm breath won't force on her cheek skin. Time ticked by.
Got up from the bed, he opened his bag and picked his white pajama set and went to refresh quick. Throwing the towel over the rack, he turned the bright light on.
Flashing the bright light over her closed eyes lids, Radhika tightened her eye corners, and then her eyeballs moved from corner to corner and then slowly opened it up to face it. She turned her neck to look at the door side.
"not there, I am here"
She jerked hearing Dev's voice from near the dressing table. Her eyebrows curved in full length with surprise seeing him combing his hair looking at the mirror.
"Dev!!!"
Turning to face her, rubbing his fingers thru the teeths of that small comb, he placed it over the dresser, and coming near his wife, he sat with cupping her face in his hand. Placing a quick kiss over her forehead, he inched back to look at her surprised look.
With a teasing smile he asked: what happened Radhika
Jerking slightly: Dev, you here?!!!
Dev: ha, I am here, why?
Radhika: I thought you are coming tomorrow.
Dev with a smile moved near to the headend and restig his upper back over the hard surface, he said: ha, but things went fine, and tomorrow I just have to monitor something and that I can do it form here. So I thought why to wait one full day.
.
Radhika: but then, she chuckled her throat: why you didn' t tell me
Dev: did you see the time. Almost 12.30, and I don't want my Radhika to sit tensed looking at the path, for my sight.
Radhika: how did you got in?
She moved into his open arms, and embracing her close, he said: ladder
Radhika moved back to look at him: ladder!
.
Dev with a teasy smile: ha but then he added: I called mom earlier and told her, she was awake and I had my dinner too.
Radhika: no wonder,she was so tensed while making dinner, I thought it is for me, so it was actually for you.
Dev in his soft voice: see atleast someone care about me.
Radhika: um
Dev: actually I thought not to wake you up, but what to do Radhika,I didn't want to scare you either, so only
Radhika: how come I didn't know that you are here..
Dev: but my princess came to know, she was awake..
Radhika looked at her stomach: really,how do you know?
Dev waving his hand slightly up in the air: she waved at me, and then went back to sleep
Radhika: oh, that is good to know
Dev: really Radhika, she gave me the signal, and I wanted to hear your voice, so only I woke you up, it is ok na.
.
Dev: ok,now,you sleep, ok
Radhika: you might be tired too.
Dev: not actually, but I want to see you getting back to your sleep.
Radhika smiled..
Dev went and turned the light off and came near and they both settled in bed.
Radhika: Sammy and all are coming on Saturday,right?
Dev: um, and ha Lechu came with me too.She already slept in other room, told she will disturb you tomorrow morning.
Radhika smiled again adjusting herself in his hold.
Dev : Radika, you know, you really gained lot of weight, see you grown out of my arms, and I cannot hold you tight anymore
Radhika: don't tease me ,I know
Dev: no Radhika, I think you gained a lot within this one day
Radhika: Dev
Dev: and I am happy
Radhika hide her face near his arms, and tried to close her eyes, she felt his breath falling near her neck
Radhika: let me sleep
Dev: who said not to sleep, you were sleeping only, right?
Radhika: Dev
Dev: um
Radhika: I know you won't let me sleep that quick, you say something and act differently
Dev: so you know it, then why complaining
Radhika: who said I am complaining, I want you to disturb me, because I missed you so much.
Dev: me too Radhika, trying to hold her more tight in his embrace.
.
The twnkling stars hide behind the dark clouds, and the smiley face of the moon just moved behind the big tree, blocking his vision. The earth slept under the velvety sky while Dev kept his wife closer to him, listening to her little talk.****
The FF will continue as I dreamed from next chapter onwards. Most probably with a talk between Sammy and Radhika..let see. r u back in track with me now! remember all those curves and turns and now it is travelling on a stright path before he is ready to take that last turn of his life where he may lose the support of his family and may be able to make his own decisions which will be the result of all these past episodes. . hope you are with me till i get there..:)
Devika.
