Part 33
Radhika woke up and made her mng prayer to Kanha and then opened her eyes to see photo of kanha on the wall and later as usual opened her locket. She watched the family photo of sharmas and said "Baavuji, aaj aapki aakhri icha poori ho gayi. Aapka bhai aagaya. Mrinalini di ko apni chachaji mil gaya."(Dad, urs last wish was completed..., Ur brother came back. Mrinalini didi got her chachaji)
Radhika looked at watch to find the time to be 8:00 and l;looked at her bruises, they were minimized :"Dhanya waad Kanha. U made my bruises less."
Radhika then slapped on her head "Kini late hogayi. aaj bhi maine aarthi nahi karvayi. God...(I am late today.,... I can't even do Aarthi) " She rushed into bathroom and got dressed up quickly in her formal official attire coverings all her bruises. She came out and wore the mangal sutra hiding it under the collar of her coat. She then combed her hair to the side and applied sindoor on the forehead covering it under hair. She smiled to herself and then rushed down to the Kanha mandir. She watched over and the way the mandir was decorated was exactly in the way she used to do and it was more beautiful. She leaned in front of Kanha and prayed herself and Came out to the dining room.
Radhika looked around and as usual RP at head of the table followed on his right Shankar, Dev and on his left Vaishali, vivek, Mrinalini. Mrinalini crack some joke and all laughed. Radhika too smiled and looked at her seat it was occupied by Dev/.
Radhika stood near the chair of RP and said "Dev kyun mera seat occupy kiya."
(Dev why did u occupy my seat)
"Kyun meri massi ka seat occupy kiya. " (Why did u occupy my maasi's seat)Abhi who came there then asked.
Radhika bent to Abhi and "Toh mera abhi ready ho gaya."(So, U are ready)
Abhi:Haan ready hogaya.(yes)
Radhika:Good.
Abhi:Massi poocho na, kyun vusne tera sea occupy kiya.(Massi, ask him na...)
Radhika:Haan Dev bolo mera seat kyun occupy kiya.(Yeah Dev tell me,)
Vaishali:Ek seat toh hain na,, chodo. tum vuske baad ki seat hain na waha baitho.
(Its a small matter. leave it off and u can sit there in the seat beside him right)
Dev winked and signaled her to sit beside him. Radhika looked at Vaishali and said "Maa aapne bola na toh hum baithenge. "(Maa, u said na, that's why I am sitting) She went holding abhi's hand and made abhi sit beside Dev and she sitting next to Abhi. Dev make a baby face.. Radhika smiled to herself and "Abhi, chachu ne mera seat occupy kiya na, toh main chachu ka seat occupy karungi."(Abhi, ur chachu, occupied my seat right, in revenge I will occupy his seat)
Abhi smiled and said "Haan massi, tum hi baith yaha. Tit for tat chachu/."(Good idea, u sit here. tit for tat chachu)
Radhika and Abhi exchanged their seats and Radhika sat beside Dev. Dev tried to hold Radhika hand under the seat but Radhika took of her hand with out seeing at him and started to eat.
Dev:What happened ,
Radhika eating only whispered:U don't talk to me
Dev:Why are u angry on me
Radhiika:I don't talk with liars/
RP:Radhika beti, ye dress.
Radhika:Yes papa wo I had to go to meeting along with baavuji na
Vaishali:Baauji!
Radhika cursed herself inside for slipping and Dev controlled his laugh and Shankar rolled his eyes to Radhika
Radhika:Wo I am sorry, vo kya hain ki mujhe aisa lag raha ki Mohan baavuji hi yaha Shankar chachaji ke roop mein baithe hain toh...
(I am sorry, actually seeing Shankar ji, it feels like I am seeing Mohan dad. so.)
Mrinalini: Haan Maa mujhe bhi aisa hi lag raha hain(Yeah for me too)
Shnakar smiled and said "No problem I have no problem if u call me baavuji. U both are like my daughters only. U can call me Baavuji"
Mrinalini:Really
Shankar"Really
Mrinalini:Thank u chachaji sorry sorry baavuji.
Radhika smiled and continued to eat. Dev again started whispering "what a story."
Radhika with out raising her head "Story kya, its real. I felt like I am with Mohan baavuji. other wise till today I never called him baavuji, I always used to call him Dad."
Dev : What lie did I say u
Radhiuka:U only question ur self.
Mrinalini:Sach mein. Today I am really happy. After 6 years I am seeing my sister happy
Radhika smiled and said :Jaise kahte hain na di, dooriyan pyaar ko badate hain/ (Its says na di... when people becomes distant, it will improve the love and affection between them)
Vivek:Yes, right Radhu. Atleast in that way it was used
Radhika:Haan Bhaiyya Its useful to me a lot.
Ammaji who was sitting in the comfy there was cursing seeing Radhika happy. But suddenly her eyes glowed as she saw Vishaka standing at the door .
Vishaka was wearing a chudidaar and dropping her bag there she rushed to Ammaji "Ammajiii":
Every one at the dining table turned back to see vishaka standing there. At first they are confused but after what Ranjiv did came into their mind they were angry. Vivek raised from his chair and washing his hands went to Vishaka. "Vishaka tum."
Vishaka didn't say any thing and directly went to RP and felled on his feet "Uncle humein maaf kariye. "(Uncle, Forgive me)
RP was confused and looked at Vaishali.
Vishaka:Uncle, I left for U.S for some days and this much happened here. I can never expect Dad to do this. Jo kuch bhi dad ne kiya wo galat hain. isliye hum dad ko chodke yaha aaye hain.(What ever Dad did, it was wring, that's why I left him and came here)
Radhika looked at Dev who was having an expression like "Is this any new drama"
Vishaka:Uncle, jo humari maa-baap ne kiya, vuske liya hum reason kaise ho sakte hain. main iss parivaar ko kabhi koi dhuvida pahunchna nahi chahti hun(Uncle what ever mom dad did, How can I be responsible to that/ I never wanna get a small problem to this family)
Dev whispered to Radhika: See, what a drama queen ur sister is.
Radhika looked at Dev, after what she heard abt her the previous day she got aversion on her. And she can help nothing but agreeing with Dev.
RP and Vaishali looked at each other but said nothing. Vishaka got up and went to Mrinalini "Di at least up toh boliya na uncle aunty ko."
Mrinaliini:Papa...
Dev and Radhika was praying that RP shouldn't melt.
Mrinalini:Papa, jo chachaji ne kiya wo galat hain, lekin iske liye vishaka kaise dosh ho sakti hain/(Dad, what Chachaji did was wrong, but why should Vishaka be punished)
Dev and Radhika cursed their fate for making mrinalini talk like that.
RP: I know what ever happened Mrinalini and I wanna leave the decision to Dev as he was the worst sufferer than all of us.
Dev relieved and was abt to say "NO" when Radhika whispered to him " Dev! we had to prove that Vishaka was faulty. Let her be here, I will see her."
Dev whispered back :No u don't know her.
Radhika:U know me.
Dev:No Radhika please
Radhika:Uncle one minute...
She dragged Dev along with her into the side room and then talked with him
Radhika:Nahi Dev, what will u do if she say that u did tortured a girl in U.S and hence came back to India. Whole university thinks wrong abt u. Can Papa bear it. We had to bring her real face out. And don't forget that urs Radhika is with u. Please let her in Dev
Dev:I am not sure, but I had faith in my Radhika. When Dev's Radhika is with Dev ,Dev can win the whole world even
Radhika smiled and kissed him on his forehead and Dev too repeated the same. Radhika and Dev returned back.
Dev:I agree Vishaka to stay here. but on one condition
Ammaji:What's it
Dev:If ever we came to know that Vishaka had any evil intention abt any member in this family, or if she was trying to create chaos, or she was working for her father. I will throw her and u out of the house the very next second
Amma was abt to interupt when Vishaka said "Hume manjoor hain, But u had to show the proofs."( I agree. But u had to show proofs)
Dev mockingly "Haan Vishaka sure...:"
Radhika too had a confident face. and Vishaka became happy. RP and Vaishali looked at each other but remained silent.
Vishaka saw radhika and rushed to her saying "U know I am really very very happy to see u back again. I am missing u a lot dear."
Radhika:Haan di, when this is my house I had to return one day or other na.
Vishaka hugged Radhika and whishpered "U remember the promise u made to me na."
Radhika too whishpered "I remember every thing di. fikhar mat karo, sab sambhalungi."
Radhika winked at Dev and he too smiled back. Vishaka came near to Dev and said "Thanks Dev"
Now they both started to whishper...
Dev :Haan Vish, main tumko Radhika ke liye accept kiya tha.(Haan vish, I let u enter in only for sake of Radhika)
Vishaka:Tumko kya lagta hain Dev Radhika tumko accept karegi
(What u think Dev, will Radhika, accept u and ur love)
Dev: Even if she didn't accept I am okay, becoz I love her and according to me Love only gives , doesn't take.
Vishaka:Dev, Dev these things u say na, these are in films only. Real life main ye sab apply nahi hoga. And waise bhi even if Radhika accept u na, I had a good weapon to destroy all her love on u in one second.
Dev smiled and ; Vishaka, mera pyaar sacha pyaar hain
Vishaka;Lets see
Dev:Lets see...
Mrinalini:Vishaka-Dev kya ho raha hain'
Dev:Nothing bhabhi waise hi baat kar rahe hain.(Nothing much, we are speaking )
Mrinalini:U can talk later, come and eat
Dev:Nahi di, bhuka khatam ho gaya. ( no di, all my hnger was gone)
Mrinalini:Kyun(Why)
Radhika:Di, I will leave, I had a meeting
Mrinalini:Radhu ye meeitng weeting, waise hota rehte hain na. Ek din ke liye rukh gaya toh kya hoga(It will always be there. U can stop for one day right)
Shankar:Haan Radhu, Mrinalini is saying right, I will tell Adi to manage the meeting. U take rest, U had fever
Radhika:Nahi baaavuji ! I can leave na, waise hi ye toh important meeting hain
Shankar:I know how important is it, Maan ki kuch friends ke liye, I accepted this petty project. Tumhe jaane ki koi jaroorat nahi, I will tell kalpana to attend it.(I know how important is it. If ever it had not been for Maans friends , i would never have accepted petty projects like this. U need not go, Kalpana is enough)
Radhika:Lekin...
Ammaji:When elders are saying U should listen Radhika.
Radhika:Ammaji this is not that. Its regarding meeting
Ammaji:Yahi toh problem hain tum se, what elders will say u won't listen
RP:ammaji ab aap shuru mat kariye. Radhika, u had to set ur room and all na, let it be, let the meeting be done by others. Dev aaj tum bhi apna meeting cancel karo
Dev;Papa ./
RP: I doesn't wanna listen, U are really tired form time when case started...
Radhika:Okay I will stop. Dev??????
Dev:obviously I too
Vaishali:Radhu, abhi time hain. We can leave at 10:00
Radhika nodded and said "Maa, shayad Vishaka ko rest ki jarrorat ho"
Vishaka:Haan aunty I need a bout of rest
Radhika:Aavo Di I will show u ur room
Vishaka:I know my room Radhika
Radhika:Aavo na////////
Radhika took Vishaka up and Vishaka was abt to open her room when Radhika stopped her and said "Di ab aapka room ye nahi hain, aapka room wo hain"
Radhika showed Vishaka another room which was some where at the farther end...
Vishaka:Radhika wo room''
Radhika:Haan di, actually that day what u thought was right, that room was also there and it was really bigger.
Vishaka:I am okay with this room
Radhika:But this room is mine, and I can't afford it now.
Vishaka:Then that room?
Radhika don't worry its also under me. actually me and Dev need a project room so we are using it.
Vishaka: Woo...
Dev:Kya hua Radhu
Radhika:Nothing Dev Vishaka was saying that she need this room and I took it na, so I am showing her that one.
Dev: Haan Vishaka, now u need to listen Radhika's words and U should take that room, any how its Radhika's room Right?
Vishaka marched off angrily into that room.
Radhika opened her room and said Dev "If u dont mind I will come back into this room"
Dev:But
Radhika:I had many memories of mine related to this room
Dev:OKay, but that room...
Radhika:Don't worry waise bhi wo room kisi ko use bhi nahi hain. I will keep it too under me, when there are more relatives I will go into that."
Dev:Thank god. but Radhika that room was smaller than all of the rooms including this na
Radhika:Haan that's why I gave it to her. Let her suffer
Dev smiled and winked
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Vishaka opened that room and she started to cough becoz of dust and watched the room it was a small room like childrens room and she looked back at Radev who was smiling to each other. She had a burts of anger and called "Radhika"
Radhika came there and seeing dust she covered her nose with her handkerchief and said "Haan
Vishaka:This dust, clean it.
Radhika:Why shall I clean, u only said that a room should be cleaned buy the person who live in that.
Vishaka:Size dekho. ye toh choti hain
Radhika:Koi baat nahi di, aap toh bas ek hain na
Vishaka;What the hell is this
Radhika bent to Vishaka and said "Di, this room na, one of the beauiful rooms in PB and u will love it after staying in it. Bye di. Mujhe bahut saaari conferences hain."
Vishakla was abt to say some thing and by time Radhika left...
Vishaka came in slowly and tried to call any maids, But all were busy and she tried to clean it herself and failed.She sat there holding her head.
Radhika came into her old room and cleaned it fastly and looked at Place where her photo used ot be, and the whole room si filled with some hollywood posters, she teared them all and recleaned it in halfanhour and made it her old paradise.
Dev came from backdoor into room and hugged her from back when she was setting her dresses,
Radhika:Dev leave, its all dusty. u will get allergy
Dev:No problem
Radhika:Please Dev...
Dev: Nahi
Radhika:Maa, kanha. Pain
Dev immediately left her off and she laughed and started to run/ Dev: U are out today Radhika
Radhika:Chal pakdo mujhe
Radhika began to Run and Dev to started to run behind her.. Radhika came down and Dev too and finally Dev caught her and started to pinch her. Radhika:"Kanhaaa"
Shankar came out and asked :Kya hua bachhi
Radhika made herself free and came to Shankar and said Dekho baavuji, this stupid is pinching me.
Shankar:Kya hua Dev
Dev: I am sorry kaakaji, but ask Radhs what she did,.
Radhika:always u only will tease me? I too can tease u.
Shankar:okay Dev , Okay, Radhu, ye dust
Radhika:I am cleaning my room...
Shankar:Ohhh. Means u won;t come back
RP: Kaha Shankar bhaiyya
Shankar:Humaara ghar
RP:Radhika kyun
Shankar:Nahi bhaiyya/////// Radhika ki shaadi nahi huyi and she was staying at her sisters in-laws place. It may lead to rumours thats why
RP:don't worry and Radhika nahi aayegi
Radhika looked at Shankar in worry.
Shankar;Aisa nahi Bhai...

Radhika: Papa, u and baavuji decide, I had nothing to say as I like both of u.
Shankar:please Bhaiyya , its related to Sharma's reputation

Radhika:Bhaiyya -bhabhi ko main aur didi manalenge. atleast daadi maa ki problem kam hone tak hum yaha rukhenge, vuske baad hum aapke saath aayenge.

Mrinalini:Haan Baavuji please...
Shankar:Thik hain... But Radhu by the time Ammaji gets well we will return back
Radhika nodded her head and she smiled
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
RP sat in comfy in his bed room and Vaishali came to him saying "Dekho, Radhika aagayi, ghar ki roshan aagayi."
RP nodded his head.
Vaishali sat beside him and What happened ji"
RP: Shankar is asking for Radhika to send along wiht him

Vivek was leaving for office, when at the same time Radhika was preparing Abhi for school
Radhika:"Bhaiyya, u are going for office,."
Vivek:Haan Radhu kyun
Radhika:papa said us not to leave na
Vivek smiled and "Its for u and Dev I had to, becos I had my meetings ..."
Radhika:Bhaiyya...
Vivek:Nahi Radhu, I didn't go for office for last three months in the hurried ness of case, and Dev only did work of mine and Dad, so...
Radhika:Thik hain Bhaiyya...
Dev was coming into the drawing room...
Vuvek:Dev
Dev:Haan Bhaiyya...
Vivek: Actually vo jo forest waali project hain na, vo cancel ho gayi.
Dev:Ye kya bhaiyya kyun.
Radhika touched the pendant of Kanha in her neck for happiness
Vivek:That was the very shocking part... Its not a govt. property
Dev:What the hell is it...
Vivek: Yes it was registered by govt. to some one from barsaati in 1951
Dev: Kya, 1951
Vivek:Yes...first it was registered in 1864 and later in 1947 when India got independence it was re registered according to our consitution in 1951
Dev:Then why they aren't using it???? and also even for today it was like forest only.
Vivek:I don't know that all, and I am trying to trace out the person who had the papers, now
Dev: Yeah we can
Vivek:Haan but I tried with the person of family in barsaati on whose name the forest was registered and he said he doesn't even had any idea and he searched with all of his relatives but none had any info.
Radhika:Acha hua kanha ne ye kiya. Barsaati matlab Radha maiyya ka janam sthal hain. Radha rani was only saving her beautiful memories,
Vivek:What are u saying Radhu.,,,,,,,,,
Radhika:Bhaiyya, what I said now was true... The vrindavan which was landed by Kanha and where he had his beautiful memories was the vey forest which we see.and if ever we believe Kanha then we had to equally believe that it was the vrindavan. And I heard from some tribals that there are some good waterfalls from the hills and also a good river flow and it is beautiful.
Vivek:Radhu, its all bull shit... I believe in Kanha, but the person which ever had papers, I think they just wanna keep it becoz of some other reason not for the reason of saving the forests.
Radhika;What ever , but why u people alll are behind forests, u can try some other places na.
Vivek: Okay Radhu we will try but till when I get some good substitute I won't leave it.
Radhika:Kanha only will show u a substitute.
Vivek:Any way I am leaving bye buddies tak care,
Radhika:U too Bhaiyya.
Vivek smiled and left. Radhika looked at Dev and said "Now u got what the secret was, this "
Dev:But how u know.
Radhika:I know that's it.
Dev:nahi Radhika, some thing is mysterious... I wanna know what's so special abt that forests.
Radhika smiled and let ito kitchen...
Mrinalini who was cutting vegetables "Kya Radhika, aaj tum vivek se kuch jyaada hi jagda kar rahe ho,"
Radhika:Jagda kuch nahi di, normally
Mrinalini"As usual abt that forest na
Radhika:Haan di, why should we destroy nature,
Mrinalii:But its not only vivek, if not vivek then any other. But its for sure. any how we got that its a private property then leave it off.
Rahika:Yes Leave it off,
Mrialini:Aur kya Radhika, I had a lot to ask u...
Radhika:Abhi nahi, ab aap apne designing centre par jaayenge, baad mein evening aakhe apni saari baatein karenge.
Mrinalini smiled and "Acha Radhika Abhi gaya..."
Radhika;Haan didi, he went off along with his father and u leave di,,,,,, I will do kitchen work, bahut sarein din ho gaye hain
Mrinalni:Are u sure.\\\
Radhika:Yeah, u leave
Mrinalini:Thik hain, I will come by evening 8, tomorrow I had some project so,,,,, and cook some food and send to daaima.
