and so lechu 's marriage happened.oh sammy all that time was only acting no way and at last instead of doli,he took her with him like warrior on horse.whats dev would be thinking at that time ,remembered his time or not.and ya ya u know u have to show that small kid too in chandenpur who talked with dev while dev was going to take bua to doctor ,who said i would have married radhika if i would have born soon and what what i remember all.
di i want to say one thing.we are now completely engrossed again in ur dreamworld.due to break ,we were lacking a bit .i was with u but don't know ,not that but now again like i am living in ur dreamworld so pls don't take long breaks again in this ff.breaks of 1 or 2 days can work out.ok.

i am missing something here thought dev was mad at his dad

Radhika Knows Dev very well his mind, movements ,thoughts and everything his decision is hers also ...Dev wants to fulfill Dadaji's dream and the same time he wants his old Radhika also back ...

Surender and Suchi -How can they live without Ruhi? now she is their life Dev's this decision may effect them very badly...I think There is no difference between Dev and Surender because years back what Surender had done to his family the same thing is going to repeat by Dev.. What about Sammy's parents ?If Sammy comes and lives in Delhi ...

As they neared, sammy's eyes gone wide seeing the tears in Lechu's eyes: oh God! Now what? He suddenly went near and said : Lechu I was here only, you thought i left without you? hu? how can you even think about it Lechu? or did Bro talk to you too.

I laughed a lot when i read this ...E Sammy na!!!Appreciated your humour sense👏...

Hi Devika, this story moved so much. Loved every bit of it. Now Dev is going back to his roots. Waiting to see what the parents reaction going to be.

Part 151: Dev leaving to Chandenpur

Next day after dinner, during that little family talk time,,,

Ruhi was playing on the floor, with her usual uuu aaa song, and Suchi & Sushma were sitting near and enjoying her play with a smile.

Dev presented his new decision

Surender in shock: what? I thought u are going to join back

Dev in a very calm voice: no dad, I told you already , I can't

Surender getting up from the chair: Dev, please, don't play this hide and seek game anymore.

Dev: No dad, I am not, I was thinking about it for last few weeks, and Yes dad, for now that is my decision

Surender looking at Suhci: did you hear that. All this time I was proud of my son, and did you hear him what he just said, for now his decision is this, moving to chandenpur, and then he looking at Dev: so what will be your decision tomorrow Dev?

Suchi stood on her feet silently with unbelievable ears, Dadaji and buva, were listening surprisingly. While Radhika looked at Dev with an anxious face.

Dev: dad, tomorrow also my decision will be same

Surender: it is ok if you want to live in chandenpur for a week or a month, but otherwise this is your worst decision Dev and I am not going to agree with it.

Dev: no dad, How can you say that, I was thinking about it for long and finally came to a conclusion, this is what I want.

Surender looking at his babuji: babuji, did you know about all these, are you a part of all these what he is telling now

Yeshpal looked at his son helplessly

Dev: no dad, I don't even know whether Dadaji will let me stay in that haweli, I didn't discuss it with him, I just took the decision by myself, and I am sure dadaji won't close the door in front of me, he cannot do that.

Yeshpal: Dev,. You have the right to chose your decision, I never chained my kids from any of their decision or plans, I never questioned them, sometimes they were my guides, so I don't know what you suppose to do, you can take your decision but I wish it should not be hurting the feelings of your parents, they know you better, and if they are saying it is not good for you, then they are saying from their experience, so .

Surrender interfering his babuji: Babuji tell him that he cannot do it, and it is not what he dreamed of. I can remind him off his dreams. Dev you dreamed of getting a business degree from U.S , you dreamed of achieving everything possible in business line. You spend your time, you worked hard, you have the potential, you have that in you Dev, believe in yourself, and I am sure one day you will be one of the best business man the country have ever seen, , and you have to achieve so much in this line Dev, you are leaving everything behind holding onto some stupid thoughts.

Dev: I don't think it is stupidity by any means, this is what I want dad

Surender: Dev, think one more time, all this time, I just agreed with everything whatever you said, but this, I am not seeing any future, I am not seeing anything solid in it, how can you just divert yourself like that, how serious you were when it comes to work, you always loved to take challenges, and you don't know how proud I felt when Mr. Patel was praising you, saying how capable and hardworking you are, and then now what yu are going to do, getting back to chandenpur and do nothing!!!

Dev with a smile: dad, I have so many things in my mind, I don't know how to tell all that, but I want you to seeme achieving it with time, I don't know whether i can hold onto any materialistic thing to show that off, but I am sure, it will really bring a smile on you dad, you will feel proud dad

Surender sitting back helplessly: Oh Dev, I wish if I could just show you everything clearly,. Then getting up coming near , in a soft calm voice: Dev, what is the scope beta, I mean, you learned and trained well in one profession and there is no way you can apply all that over there, and the hard work of all these years simply will go in vein, your dream Dev, your passion, your aim its all connected to your profession, and in that run you even forgot the world around you , and now

Dev: yes dad, in that run, I forgot the world around me, which I realized little late, and then looking into his eyes he said: no dad, I don't want to forget the world around me, I want to move on with it, I don't think any of the skill that learned will be a waste tomorrow, even I thought, in a village there is nothing to do, but there is Dad, and I experienced it in its smallest form, maybe it is that simple smile that I can bring, but that gives a big satisfaction dad.

Surender: life is a race son, and noone will stay back for you get with them, and later when you turn back you will see that you have been left alone, all others will be finishing their point by then, and then it will be hard for you to catch up with them, it will be hard for you even get to the finishing line beta, you will regret at that time.

Surender looking at Suchi: I don't understand anything Suchi, now you try to convince him, I ,... I really don't know, tell him if he want to join any other company he can do that, he wants to start up his own he can, he want any help with anything, it iwill be there, tell him, we are here for him, remind him about his own dream, and why he dreamed it, remind him what he achieved, remind him...

Sushma came in near Dev: dev, why beta, all of a sudden?

Dev whose eyes also trying to control those tears: no buva, it is not a sudden decision, please let us stay with you in that haweli, that will be really kind of you

Sushma went speechless: Dev, haweli is always yours, you don't need any permission, it is yours beta, but why this decision, you can come to chandenpur at any time and spend your time as long as you wish, but then why

Dev: I know buva, but can I please be a part of you all too, can I be part of the days in chandenpur

Sushma looked at Suchi who is still standing with an unbelievable posture

Sushma: Suchi, I don't know what to tell him, maybe

Suchi: what to say Sushma, it is his decision, right.? When kids grow up to stand on same height with elders, we should respect their views too, they have their life experience too, who are we to interfere with their decisions and their plans. The role of a parent ends when his or her kid stand up on their own feet and earn for themselves, they need parents till then, then they have their own plans, dreams, and the parents have to just agree, not expect anything back from them. So if this is dev's decision , whom am I to stop him.

Radhika was noticing Dadaji's face which was feeling more down, she went near dadaji and asked him to take rest. Yeshpal looked at Radhika helplessly and Radhika, just held his hand and walked along with him to his room

While helping him to settle in bed , Radhika: dadaji, I know the talk maybe hurting you, he was telling me about this for last few weeks, which I was unable to understand completely, and I know him well, if he decided then that is what is going to happen, and after taking this decision, he is back to himself, otherwise he was lost in some thoughts all the time. I don't know how much this is going to hurt everyone, will anyone be happy?, but I am glad, his decision is to stay with the family not to walk away from them.

Dadaji just looked at Radhika , radhika tried to give a forceful smile

Sushma came in: Oh Radhika, I don't know how to convince him, and maybe by morning Dev may change his views, I pray for that

Radhika walked out from the room and at the door side, she turned back and said: I don't think buva, he is strong in his decision, and the raise of the sun is not going to bring any changes

Saying that she walked away

As Dv saw Radhika coming back

De: Radhika, I think Ruhi is tired, please put her to bed.

Radhika looked at Suchi who is holding Ruhi in her arms , and Suchi looked at Radhika. Radhika stood there hesitantly

Seeing her reaction Dev took the baby from Suchi's hand and extended to Radhika's arms.

Suchi with a lifeless body gave her into his arms, and stood there with a heavy face.

Dev looking at Rahdika: um, I will be there soon, ok, she looks really cranky and tired..

Suchi was about to turn

"mom. I need to talk to you"

Suchi turned back with a smirk smile: is there anything left to talk now, why you stayed back Dev, marriage got over yesterday right, you should have gone at that time itself, why stayed back to give more hope and dreams to us...

Dev tried to hold his mom's hand, but suchi moved it away

Dev with a tear filled tone: mom, I know somewhere my decision is a hard one to accept , for both of you, but this is what I want mom

Suchi turned to walk away

Dev: Mom, please I want you to listen

Suchi: I thought I already heard you the other day and I think I am a fool to just believe whatever you say as it is, because her throat mumbled: because I loved you so much Dev, I trusted you so much, I was proud of you so much, and may be I got blind in all that, and now, I don't have anything to say or argue, let me go, dad maybe waiting for me.

Dev: ha mom, that gave me the strength, you gave me the strength to take this decision and present it without any shake mom in front of dad...,

Suchi paused for a second and listened

Dev: ha mom, you gave me the confidence mom, I heard it in dad's voice the other day, I stood as a stranger in front of my own parents, I never realized how much you two belong to each other, how can one be other's strength, I who was doubting about my own decision, who was confused about how to proceed, who was feared of closing the lids to get a peaceful sleep, with a calm soft voice he said: was able to smile and sleep well that night mom. Why I struggled so much to take this decision, why I didn't see you as the strong pillar in dad's life. You lifted him up so well to stand still proudly in front of dadaji and buva, and he is a well known successful business man in front of the society, all because of you mom. He ran away from his own family, but your presence brought him back to life with so much happiness around.

Suchi turning and facing: tell me Dev, how it is , when you are decided to walk way, you questioned your dad for his action the other day but he had a soild reason to act like that, and somewhere I am feeling are you acting as him only without any reason, or are you taking any revenge...

Dev widened his eyes in disbelief: mom, how can you even think like that? How I am similar to dad's past, how can u say I am repeating the same, how can you say I am taking revenge. I am not running away mom, I am near you, just a call away, I am not leaving the family without saying a word, I am telling you I want to live n chandnepur for the rest of my life, which is just few hours away from Delhi, I am with dadaji, I am going to live in that house where dad grown up, I am going to be in the middle of so much love mom from you both and then dadaji and buva,

Suchi: you are taking RUhi away from us..

Dev: who said that mom?, I am not taking Ruhi away from you. You can come to chandenpur when ever you are free, and we can come here at any time , or just call me I myself will bring her, mom I am not running away from home, I am bringing my home more closer to me, I am trying to find myself mom, nothing else, why you are thinking I am taking ruhi and your happiness away from you , when I never even thougth of that, I love to see the smile on your face mom...

Suchi: then you can do it other way too , right?. Whenever you want you can go to chandenpur, why you need to move on for that, you can take care of the business and then we all here na, we can take care of everything else that you are concerned, are you more worried for dadaji and buva being alone there, we can take care of that beta, you don't need to

Dev: mom, I don't know how to convince you. .. my dad is a hero mom, he is still my ideal, he grown along with giving work to so many people around, he is successful by keeping everything intact within his sector, I am sure he got it from Dadaji. Dad knows each and every employee by their name and being that arrogant he made sure his employees are living well.

.. I want to spend my time with him mom, I want ot learn form him, maybe all those which I never came across in my life, and in that little struggle I want to fulfill his dream, and maybe I will also build a new dream being there, and I want to follow that step mom, I just want to follow his step. I can be proved wrong for many, I maybe standing still at the starting point, but I am not here to race, I want to walk on it feeling everything around me, seeing the smile around me. That's all mom, tell me am I wrong now? Am I simply taking this decision without a second thought?

Suchi didn't say anything, just listened and then touched his head , with a tear drop she turned and walked away to her room'

*****

Next day Lehcu and Sammy came early, Sammy noticed the silence around , the gloomy face around, he held RUhi in his hand and went near Dev: Bro, is that your final decision , did you tell everyone?

Dev with a smile: ha sammy, now I am feeling a big relief now

Sammy: I don't know what to say Bro, when I went to study abroad and came back, my friends stayed back looking at their future, for me I cannot leave my land, but I love What I do too, so this is myway of keeping everything intact, I can be home as I wish, and I can still be on job which I like.

Dev: Ha Sammy, I know I have been behind all these too one time like your friends, but now I want to try this new world in front of me, it will be interesting too.

Dev: nothing, and thanks as you did what you can, you told me that how much you love Lechu, and take care of her. and yes the selfish jerk in me wished for you two to be near by home, or in home itself so that I can see my home active too. But that is not your responsibility, it is mine, I need to keep both end tied, and I will try, and this is also my little try as you are staying nearby in a flat all by yourself. At one point of life, we all become little selfish right, that's all. But I can see your point of view too, so if possible come and share your smile here when ever possible and I will do my part as my time permits too.

Sammy: but Bro

Dev: no Sammy, that's all. And then with a smile : ha don't forget to come to chandenpur, let's make it memorable, Lechu loves there too. So make a call and come and enjoy as you wish ok, let me try to change the face of the haweli little bit, have so much work pending here, need to start tomorrow morning. Ok Sammy let me finish the pack up work...

Sammy looked as Dev walking away avoiding further talk.

Sammy stood watching him understanding the suffocation he is feeling inside, for being the reason for this silence in this house. But don't worry bro, time is the answer for everything, and it will bring back that smile on everyone's face too.

Lechu went so silent the next day while saying goodbye to her Bro and family. First time in her life she stood silent, unable to comprehend any questions to throw at anyone.

Suchi went to Radhika's room, as Radhika was picking the last bag

Radhika stopped looking at Such's face once and then stood wth a bowed head unable to meet her eyes

Suchi: no beta, you should keep your head high, I want to see that smile. You should feel proud of your husband, and be his strength, maybe my son will feel down seeing his near ones bahaviour , or he may have to face many questions, you should bring the confidence back in him, he maybe right in his own way, so don't blame him at any weak point that he may come across, he just need you nearby , be the sita mayya and be the sakundala, you have both in you, and you should keep his spirit intact.

Rahdika just hugged suchi with tears rolling down from her eyes for giving her the strength...

Suchi with a try of smile in that tearful face: no beta, no need cry, I wish I could come and drop you , but papa needs some time , he needs me, he may take that time to take it in, because he dreamed so much, I am with him , I have seen him breaking down many times , but I never give up, because I can't see him standing with bowed head, that is hurtful for me to take in.. i cannot see his failure... I can't see him struggling alone. I will come with him, and you will see his smile on his face , and it is my promise, ok. So you don't need to worry thinking about here, we send you to U.S. and now... you are going to chandenpur which is just few hours away, anytime you can come here and we can come there too, the doors are always open, so there is no need to worry about anything. so you should not leave with a teardrops from this house, I want to see that smile ok

Radhika hugged her more, and Suchi moving back slightly, with a teasy smile: what you think your papa can be away from Ruhi for long, maybe next weekend itself he will be there, to play with her, one way it is good Radhika, now atleast he will take some break in between to get there and this may bring him more closer to his own home. So maybe dev is right.

Radhika felt much comfortable

Suchi: I called ROhini and we talked , so Mohan bhayya will be waiting for you guys there.ok

Radhika nodded her head

Suchi: now give me that smile, and next time when I come, let's take that walk out ok, let's see whether there is riped guavas and this time I will pluck it for you

Radhika tried to smile again

Suchi walking out with Radhika: and we will go to that meadow, and run against the wind, and you know what I am not going to attend any delivery cases that time ok, if I am coming then coming just for relaxing, nothing else.. did you get that? maybe I can walk around with Ruhi.. that will be more fun..

Dev was waiting near the car. Sushma saw the ladies coming with smiles on their face. That itself gave comfort to Sushma.

Suchi continued her talk, and Dev saw her covering her sadness in that talk. He is sad too but he made himself busy with getting the bags in.

Yeshpal walking near to his son who was still standing in his office room window side: Surender, give him some times beta, he will realize what you are telling him, maybe it can the other way too..., but I have one request, in case if he fail int his attempt , then don't hesitate to open your arms to welcome him back, don't blame him holding onto the time he made the decision. He is your son, and kids make mistakes, it is our responsibility to guide them.

The old man walked out slowly, Surender turned and looked at his dad, he extended his arm out to stop him, but the words and the hand froze for him. With the ticking of that clock, he walked out to the main door, and he saw the car was ready to move, and as it moved out the reflection of his dad , clearly appeared on the side view mirror, and Dev with a confident smile, turn the steering to the side to get into the street.
