Hai readers, as i failed to explain the situation well i am posting one of the response i recived few days back.. maybe as you read you may realize what i am trying to say, if you are interested, then please, or tleast the colored part...
HE IS LIKE BIRD TO HAVE DISCOVER SKY FOR HIM BUT NOW NEED EARTH TO SETTLE DOWN ...he may doing this for his radhika , to bring her back but for us he is doing this more for himself than for anyone ...its his journey of self discovering ... life teach us new things every min. its upto us how we take it ... he is just giving him a chance to see those aspects of life which he never knows or never feel that they exist ...lets see
For suchi - surinder it may mean different as they know who they are , where they belong to ... they are one who have whole sky to explore as they have earth for them ... may be later they both understand each other's view more ...but not at this time .. because for Dev its difficult to stop now ... his curious mind want to learn more and more .. but his parents are not going to accept this .. may be they consider it foolish decision ... later when they see what he achieve they will surely feel proud ... he is on journey to discover HIMSELF and he will surely get that ...
Thank you so much for your time,... now next part...
Part 153: Ruhi's 1 st birthday
Lechu: I really wish bhabhi was here too
Dev: um me too , but Ruhi was not feeling well na
Dev's cell ring and he went out answering it...
Lechu: she likes all those toys , right
Sammy: why not, I loved it, in fact I asked her to share one with me, she didn't agree at that ime, maybe next time for sure
Lechu: smamy, and then looking at Suchi: mom, next time when you buy toys for Ruhi buy for Sammy too , ok
Sammy: um um that wont work, I need exactly the same one
Suchi: I am glad you took all those toys with you when you went, otherwise it should have been still laying here
Sammy: mom, dad only purchased all those , but then why he is making all these excuses all the time
Suchi with a smile: ha Sammy, he is missing her so much, I m sure he cannot hold back much, he will come.
Lechu: I really wish they should have come with Bro too..
Suchi: no Lechu, I only told Radhika not to come, Ruhi is really sick. you know she is trying to stand on her feet now a days and falling down frequently, she will be one soon na
Sammy: oh so where are we going to celebrate her birthday, here or in chandenpur
Suchi: actually I want to celebrate it in chandenpur, I want to see Dev's plantation too
Sammy: sure mom, that will be more fun
Dev came in : mom when dad will be back?
Suchi: why, are you in hurry?
Dev: no, I took off today, had to buy some pipes from here and sudev and all left with that to chandenpur already , so now tomorrow only we are going to start working on it.. so I am totally free till then.
Suchi: that is good, anyway let's have lunch, by then dad also will be here...
Time passed by. Surender came home and smiled at Lechu as he saw her opening the door for him
Lechu: dad Bro is here
Surender : is he?, good. Is Sammy came too?
Lechu: ha both are discussing seriously upstairs something.
Surender: nice
Suchi: had lunch?
Surrender: um
He walked to his room, and came back walking into his office room
"dad, "
Surender pasued once listening to Dev's sound
Dev: how are you dad?
Surender with a forceful smile: good, and you?
Dev with a smile: good dad, and his smile revealed his happiness
Surender was about to walk , Dev called him again: dad, Ruhi is sick, so Radhika couldn't come
Surender: that's ok, she can come at any time right?
Dev: ha dad.. and next Friday is Ruhi's 1st birthday. We thought of coming here and celebrating that here , and everyone was ready too, but then she caught this fever and cold, and mom also said not to bring her as she is sick , the travel may aggravate the situation, so can you come to chandenpur on Friday, let's celebrate it there , only us, because I don't know how her health will be. So
Surender: I can check on it Dev
Dev: no dad, you need to come,
Surender try to give a smirk smile and was about to walk away
Dev: dad , I am serious, I don't know what is there in your mind for me,but I am calling you for Ruhi's birthday, I should have bring her, but she is sick , so I couldn't. we will wait for you for lunch, but in case if you don't come, even if she is sick we will be here., we don't care, radhika and me will be here however late it gets , with Ruhi. Today also Radhika felt so bad, she was talking about how you two will respond seeing Ruhi's changes, and was smiling and talking about that only with Buva and dadaji all the time, so that day if you don't come, we will be here.
Then looking at his mom: mom, I need to go, I wanted to invite dad personally, so I waited, I need to go mom, it was Radhika on the phone, so
And before stepping out , he paused and turned once and said: dad, I don't know how far I am standing away from your thoughts, but I never kept you away from my thoughts or my dreams. Whatever I do, I see your face first, so that I can move on with confidence.
Saying that he flashed away and as Lechu came to the front door, she saw the jeep driving away crazily out thru the gate
She just came back and stood looking at her parents face.
Sammy to change the mood: Mom, so are you working tomorrow?
Suchi jerked and looked at him
Sammy: actually I need to go out with my project work, so I thought Lechu can stay here and,,,... is that ok
Suchi: totally fine Sammy, why you need to ask
Sammy: no just checking
From one topic he changed to another and talking about his folks and then to totally something else..
******
It was Thursday evening
Suchi looking down into her plate: so what did you decide? Any urgent trip ya
Surender didn't say anything
Suchi: Radhika called earlier, she said she tried to reach you on your cell but no one answered.
Surender: I was in a meeting
Suchi: but you should have called her back, she didn't do anything wrong.
Surrender didn't say anything.
suhhci: do you remember one time it was your dream to bring Radhika into Dev's life, you were doubting whether Mohan bhayya will agree with it, but everything went fine as they never kept that distance from us, we moved a long path and it was difficult for us to turn back, but for them they didn't even thought of that distance that is forming inside us, and just embraced us whole heartedly. when Dev decided to stay back in India you said "this was your dream", and you were proud to say it. Now what happened? do you think you made a mistake by selecting a girl from Chandenpur! for Dev!!!!
Surender: Suchi, why you are simply making things complicated?
Suchi: because I want to know
Surrender: how many times I told you that you can go and stay as you wish
Suchi: ha I know, but I have given a promise to Radhika, and I don't want to go alone anywhere, for me you are more important, maybe there is something that I don't know, so I am trying to find that out, or you tell me clearly what it is, I will agree with you.
Surender getting up, trying to walk away
Suddenly his cell ring
Suchi: maybe it is Radhika, poor girl
Surender tried to walk away
Suchi extended the phone to him saying: she is our daughter, just like LEhcu, you cannot avoid her, talk to her atleast, maybe she will feel some comfort. She is young, starting her life, learning to take responsibilities, and they need our support, we cannot ignore it. So please , at least once
Surrender took the phone, but then the dial stopped. Surender looked at Suchi.
Suchi took the phone and dialed the number and gave the phone to him: please
Surender heard radhika's sound: papa, papa, hello papa
Surender unwillingly took the phone: ha Radhika, bolo
Radhika's sound reflected a relief: papa, I was trying to reach you badly. Ruhi is feeling much better, she started taking steps too. So Dev told me to tell you that we can come there.
Surrender: no its ok Radhika
Radhika: no papa, she is much better, Dev only told me that you may have important meeting or something as it is Friday, so not to worry papa, we will come ok
Surender: ok beta, that is fine too
Radhika: papa Lechu and all will be there na
Surender: ha , I think so
Radhika: is mom nearby
Surrender: ha, am giving to her
Suchi took the phone: hello beta
Rahdika: mom, I am feeling much better, after a long time I am hearing papa's voice
Suchi: He was telling me that he missed your call and was about to call you beta, then again missed urs
Radhika: that's ok mom, so we will be coming there, and Ruhi and me , let see if possible we two will stay there for one week ok
Suchi: will Dev be busy?
Radhika: mom, so we will see you tomorrow, see Ruhi got up from her sleep mom, tell papa ok.
Suhci: ha beta, take care
Radhika's voice lowered: ha mom, you too
************
Next day morning Sammy and LEchu along with Suchi started decorating the whole house
Sammy: we should have invited others too
Lechu : ha, should have arranged a big party, she is turning one mom, and see only us
Suchi smiled: that we can do later, now let's celebrate, Sammy when your parents are coming
Sammy: any minute, mom already made sweet and all, so she is all set.
Suchi smiled again and continued their work.
Time ticked by. Surender also came early and joined them looking at the watch
Suchi: they will be here at any minute
Lechu was talking with her in-laws, suddenly: mom they are here
Suchi was unable to hold back her feet that she ran towards the car
Mohan , and Radhika came out. And Rohini came out slowly holding Ruhi in her arms
Suchi just looked at the little ones face and tried to hold her, Ruhi turned her face away
Rohini: aa, now it is difficult to get her on line, see her attitude then shaking Ruhi in her amrs little bit: see who is this, ur dadi. Look beta
Suchi felt little sad
Mohan: don't worry sister, give her five minutes time, she was sleeping all thru this journey, once she fully wake up, she will jump onto you , you see
Radhika looked around and found Surender, she just went and touched his feet : how are you papa?/
Surender tried to bring a forceful smile and said: fine beta, and you?
Radhika smiled and said: good papa
As they were walking in
Suchi with a doubt: where is Dev?
Radhika: vo
Sammy: ha mom, actually bro called me earlier, I forgot to tell you, he is too busy some machine work, it seems like something went wrong and the repairing person is available only today, so
Suchi: what are you saying, it is Ruhi's 1st birthday and he has some excuses
Radhika trying to hold her tears in, and bringing a forceful smile: ha, mom , that's what we also try to tell him, but he didn't listen, said you all go, I will join after some time., so
Suddenly Mohan: wow! Who decorated it this beautifully
Lchu: like it?
Mohan: very well
Lechu: its me and then looked at Suchi and Sammy they just smiled as they got in
Mohan took Ruhi from Rohini's hand and went near Surender : Ruhi beta, tell me who is this? Um, who is this? Tell me, aa aa aa, your dadaji and then Ruhi looked at Mohan and as if understanding her look: no no, that is big dadaji, this is small dadaji, got it
Mohan: you want to go, um, you want to go into your dadaji's arms: um, here
Surender was not knowing what to do, but still he looked at her face and smiled and Ruhi smiled back
Mohan: see she knows you already
Surender extended his arm and Ruhi went into his arms
Mohan: see sister, she has only problem with you, see how easily she went to him.
Suchi smiled wide: ok, come let's have something to drink
As they walked in, Sammy secretly: how is Bro doing?
Radhika: better, i told him we can cancel it, but he didn't let me, and send me, I told him that we can tell mom and papa, but he is saying they may get worried , and he strictly said not to tell them
Sammy: I know, he told me too. But he is ok na
Radhika: ha, yesterday he got discharged from the hospital, and buva said they will take care of everything and send me here..
Sammy: I know, bhabhi don't worry everything will be fine ok. Babuji knows na
Radhika: oh ya, even he is also with Dev only witht his decision, then
Sammy: um, did you call him?
Radhika: no let me, I will be right back, ok
Sammy: ji bhabhi
Radhika: mom, let me keep this in room and I will be right back, ok
Suchi: ok beta
Radhika went to her room, and took the phone out and called
Dev's anxious voice: Radhika, how is it? Did papa talked to you? How is RUhi?
Radhika controlling her tears, forced her voice out:everything is fine, she didn't go to mom, but went with papa, now sitting in his lap and looking at his face
Dev:and , did she pull on his hair
Radhika: we just came in Dev, I just want to know how you are feeling
Dev looked at his plastered right lower leg: I am fine Radhika, I told you, you saw me walking around then
Radhika: I don't want to hear anything, I want to come back with babuji and mom
Dev: no way, I want you stay there for a week , or what mom and dad will think, they may be missing RUhi badly, don't worry about me Radhika, I am fine, totally fine, buva is here na, so, what you can do is, give that smiley face to mom and dad and then let Ruhi enjoy her time ok and ha, call me later when you are ready to get to bed, after all the functions... and talk, and that time just talk to me everything, I want o hear everything without even any gap in between.. ok,
Radhika wiping of her tears: um
Dev: that's my Radhika, now wash your face nicely and dry it well and go out with a happy smile ok
Radhika: aap bhi na
Dev: um , I know, if you were standing near me, you might be hitting my chest hard now, right?
Radhika: I am not going to win, let me go, bye
Dev: bye sweetheart
Radhika turned the cell off and went to the wash room. She remembered the day , when Dev was retunring home after inviting Surender and Suchi for the birthday party. it happened when he was few distance away from chandenpur, he was conscious enough to call Sudev and Sudenv with Babuji wen to the spot, Hwile taking him to the hospital he requested only one thing that not to tell dad or mom, as he didn't want to give them more pain, and he said that with a smile on his face. Soon he was taken to the operation theater..
And when he woke up from sedation he saw my wet face and with the same smile he said: Radhika , you should have made that call to me little early, see i fell asleep while driving.
He took the incident so light and as the night darkened when I felt his wet eyes, and asked is it painful, bringing that same smile he said: no radhika, this pain is nothing , I can tolerate it, but the pain I gave to dad and mom, I saw that in dad's face today, he didn't even look at me Radhika, will they forgive me ever, maybe this all the result of that , right?, but
Radhika closed his lips right away and just nodded her head in disagreement, asking him not to talk any more.
In return Dev gave another smile and she saw the hidden pain in that , and just wrapped her arms around his chest and tried to comfort him as she can.
The tears were rolling down like a river, but suddenly Radhika came back to her senses, she wiped her tears, and then washed her face in that cold water, and then drying them off well, she looked into the mirror, she tried to smile hard, she heard Lehcu's voice and came out to join the party down.
Time ticked by, both the parents left to their respective houses. Mohan gave that extra pat on his daughter's shoulder to give her the confidence, Rohini just smiled prior to leaving the scene...
Suchi: so Dev will be coming tomorrow?
Sammy: I don't think so, I talked to him earlier and he is still busy
Suchi : I don't know what is so busy than celebrating his daughter's 1st birthday and I think we were better than him.
Radhika: he told that too
Surender was still playing with Ruhi and soon she started showing her tiredness
Suchi took her in her arms and tried to make her comfortable and soon the little one drift into sleep in her dadi's arms.
Radhika went to her room, and Suchi put Ruhi into bed. The ladies chatted for some more time and as soon as suchi left, Radhika closed the room door and dialed to reach him, Dev with the happiest smile was listening to everything , and was seeing everything thru his eyes with a smile on his face..
