PART 38
Radhika came out from the car feeling tired...
She went in straight into her bed room, and as she on the lights she got the images of the photo of her and all the friends lying on the ground broken. Radhika didn't understand she watched the entire room to see the books on the ground and displaced bed sheets, the room was like a zoo, then she heard some one clapping from back
Radhika turned back to see Vishaka standing there smiling...
Radhika with a frown "Ye sab..."(This all)
Vishaka:I did...
Radhika:U? but why?
Vishaka:What means, actually u made me do the whole work for a day na... so I did this for u too, so that u too can work for some time, beside enjoying
Radhika got anger but controlled it and said "Who said u that I enjoyed for the whole day..."
Vishaka: That's the problem with u dear, u some times forget that ur this Vishaka didi was more talented, do u think that I didn't listen where did u people go for ur lunch... I can understand every thing Radhika. But u are only forgetting that U made Vishaka , this Vishaka Sharma do the household work, u bas***d"
Radhika slapped Vishaka tightly... very tightly that Shalini and Mrinalini who were coming to Radhika's room stood like a statue at the door.
Vishaka looked harshly at Radhika with anger "U are slapping me?"
Vishaka was raising her hand to slap Radhika when Radhika hold it tightly and twisting it to Vishaka back said "Didi, I bet u becoz I have a reason to beat u. U called me bas***d which i am not. I had my father My father name is sha... (Radhika convinced her self) My father name is Sharma ... Mohan Sharma. Don't forget it Miss. Vishaka Sharma"
Vishaka really shocked with this gesture of Radhika... She never expected this from the innocent Radhika, who always obeyed her words and her Ammaji's words. But now she was changed a lot.. Then she looked back to find Mrinalini and Shalini standing there... finding the time was in appropriate for her she marched off the room.
Radhika expected Vishaka to fire back at least a bit, she knew Vishaka would be surprised to see her this way, but she bared her self a lot... but now after she knew that she had her own father she can't bear some one calling her some dirty words, indeed why should she bear. After all what ever Vishaka and Ranjiv ji did, she was in no position to bare them,so she reacted this way, but she knew Vishaka was not such an easy going woman to retreat, but she did why? Then she noticed Mrinalii and Shalini standing at the door like statues...
Radhika went to them and said "Didi, Shalini. what happened, from when does u both need any permission to come in"
Shalini was first to come out of shock she said "Radhu, I never expect u to be this anger"
Radhika:Becoz I am not this anger before,
Mrinalini: Radhu, what happened to u yaar?
Radhika:Di!!
Mrinalini:Nope, U are changed a lot, that old fire in Radhika was back. I really tried hard to find it in u after Daaima died, becoz I know u felt u lost every one. U throw ed ur self into an inferiority shell, but now...
Radhika smiling; "I had u , Shankar baavuji, Maan bhiayya, Geet Bhabhi, papa, maa, Vivek bhai, Shalini, friends ..."
Shalini:Of course Dev bro at top.
Radhika gave a look at Shalini and said "Of course Dev. Then why should I retreat my self and get my self humiliated"
Mrinalini folding her hands "Shalini ! U know, I read some where that Love changes a person a lot... seeing Radhika and Birju looks like it was true."
Radhika:Haan Bhabhi, once the very love throw ed me into a shell called sadness, now the very love was bringing me out of that shelf. But Birju bhaiyya, sach mein, vuska takdeer hi takdeer hain.(But Birju bro, I always feel happy for him)
Shalini blushed...
Mrinalini:Mashallah... Shalini u are blushing... God!!!!! I am not dreaming right. My tiger is blushing. Really radhu. love changes any person
Shalini:Bhabhi, now why are u pulling my leg.
Radhika:Tiger when u pulled my leg then... huh...
Shalini:Now also wanna pull ur leg, but before that we had to make ur room better so that we can pull the legs as much time as we want
Mrinalini:Kya
Radhika:God... Shallu... really means u wanna really pull my leg and make me fall. I will then pull ur two legs.
Shalini:Of course dear. but before that we has to make ur room better.
Radhika:Yeah
Mrinalini:Radhika I and Shalini will help u
Radhika:Of course di. I had no energy to do it all on my own
Mrinalini: What happened to Vishaka why she did ur room like this . she was such a good girl... what happened to her suddenly.
Shalini rolled over her eyes, listening to the remarks of Mrinalini.
Radhika who listened to Mrinalini became sad she was thinking " Di! U think of vishaka to be a good person, but what will happen to u when u know the true colors of her... Kanha u only should give the strength to Mrinu di"
Mrinalini: Kya hua...
Radhika:Kuch nahi di..
Mrinalini noticed radhika was holding the photo of Daaima, Mohan and devki together. She thought her sister was sad for them and keeping her hand on Radhikas shoulders " Radhika! I know why are u feeling"
Radhika was shocked "Means di know abt Vish"
Mrinalini:Dad-mom ki bahut yaad aarahi hain na tumhe. (U are getting remembranc eof Dad and Mom)
Radhika looked at her hand and saw the photo she thanked them silently for helping her and said "Haan di. "
Mrinalini:Then how did u manage to live for three months out side of this house yaar
Radhika keeping the photo down on floor hugged Mrinu tightly and broke into tears "I missed u a lot Mrinu , I missed u... But I am help less, I need to go that time. I my self didn't wish to go, but I had to go... I am help less Mrinu... I apined u a lot, I pained abhi a lot. I am such a bad girl.. u has to slap me..."
Radhika now takingg Mrinalini hands into hers and making Mrinu's hands slap her "Slap me Mrinu. slap me... I broke the promise I gave to Daaima that I will be with u. U need to slap me. slap me..."
Shalini was looking at Radhjika as if she was seeing a new person. She saw Radhika crying at the times of Sheetals death, she cried a lot, but she never behaved this way. She was completely broken, but she was saying that she left home becoz of some reason. But what it could be? Shalini can't understand. But she felt very bad for Radhika, knowing hoe much she was attached to this home. She felt very bad or her.
Mrinalini who was shocked with her sisters break down tried to say "radhu, radhu. relax.'
"nahi didi, u has to slap me . aur maro. aur maro..."
Mrinalini with drew her hand forcefully... "Radhu, aisa nahi hain bachu. U didn't do any wrong. I am sad that u underwent some good pain"
Mrinalini hugged Radhika stroking her hair "We all love u Radhu, we missed u a lot.. but our pain is nothing when it is compared to urs. "
Radhika tightly hugging Mrinalini 'nahi di, when u are here tensed abt case and me, I am in a palace, enjoying pleasures. When I am required for my family to the most I am not there here. I am such a bad girl..."
Birju who came there then only... ' Radhika ji, u didn't do any wrong. Asmitha ji said me every thing./ That day u only made Shankar ji come here. other wise, today we all should have been on road. U made us win radhika ji. If ever u are not at that house that day, Shankar ji wouldn't have come and we wouldn't have won. Even though u are not with us, u helped us Radhika ji. U gave us our victory. U are not bad Radhika ji. U are not bad.
Radhika was still sobbing in Mrinalini's arms.
Mrinalini looked at Birju 'What are u saying Birju"
Birju:haan Bhabhi, that day Radhika ji only discovered that it was Shankar sharma ji who was the brother of Mohan ji, and indeed she only;y brought that truth in front of Maan ji, who finally convinced his father to come to court.
Shalini:Truly Briju
Birju:haan Shalini, this was true... actually Asmi ji said me today mng when we are in flight, actually I am thanking her regarding court case which I was intending to do from a long time... but then Asmi ji said the whole credit was of Radhika ji...
Radhika in her tears only "Birju bhaiyya, aapse kitni baar ye kaho ki humein Radhika ji mat bhulao aur Radhika bhulao. Aap bhi humein paraya kar rahe ho kya(How many times should I tell u Briju bro, that u call me Radhika. U are also sepearting me by calling Radhika ji)
Mrinalini ,Birju and Shalini smiled at the very gesture of radhika despite of her Bad mood. Birju came to Radhika bent on knees and striking her hair said " Radhika ji, U are always my sister from my heart. God gave sister to me. But the ji which I call u is becoz of the respect I give u from my heart. i can never stop u from calling it. "
Radhika coming slowly into play ful mood beating him on wrist : Aap bhi na bhaiyya...
Shalini: So sweet of u Birju
Radhika:Wah. tiger... kya baat hain, itni pyaar see aaj tak mujhse toh nahi keha na. (U didn't call me that sweetly till today)
Shalini:Kya karta hun, Radhu. Tm toh meri boy friend nahi ban payi...(What can we do dear? U are not my boy friend na)
Radhika smiled and looked at Mrinalini who was in a state like having two fully filled pots at her eyes . Radhika asked 'What happened Mrinu didi"
Mrinalini: Tum ne itna kuch kiya... Kanha always make u help this family...
Radhika:bas karo. bas karo... ye koi serial nahi hain, itna drama God... Ab sab chod do, mujhe neend aarahi hain, atleast mere bed ko set karne mein help karo.(Enough, this much drama... now leave it all and I am very sleepy help me in setting my bed)
Birju:Acha, ye sab kisne kiya(Who did this)
Shalini making her hands and her face like a ghost in a different eerie voice "Vishaka ne..."
Radhika and Mrinalini laughed,and Birju shook his head as if a normal thing and said "Chalo, Radhika ji, I will help u. Madams, aap donom neeche jayiye."
Mrinalini who was getting herself back into play ful mood "Why birju, amn't I eligible to help my sister and would be devrani."
Radhika smiled at the word "Would be devrani " and said "Didi, Papa aur Maa, ko accept jo karna hain..." (But papa and maa should accept na)
Shalini:Why not, can they get any other woman best than our Radhu..., if ever they didn't accept na, I will pull their ears and make them accept.
Radhika smiled and they settled Radhika's room, smiling and laughing.
Vishaka who was going on the way saw them smiling and laughing got more anger...
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Every one was smiling and talking to each other at Dining table...
All the friends excused them selves and left to their homes leaving Purohiths and Sharmas.
Asmi then only cracked a joke and all broke into laugh. Two days tension was a relief now, becoz Daadima was back the evening it self.
Radhika made good items for Daadima, which she can eat and made the cooking all by her self.
Radhika was serving curry to Shankar when R.P said "Waah, even the salt and mirchi powder was less, the food was really tasty , who did it."
Mrinalini:Papa, today Radhika did the food, she insisted that she will do the whole food.
Dev looking at Radhika:How sweet...
Daadima who was sitting beside Dev "Kuch kaha Dev"(Did u say any thing)
Dev:Daadima, Khana itna bura hain, namak nahi hain,kuch nahi hain(The food was so bad, there's nothing in it)
Radhika frowned to the comment and looking at Dev said "Haan Dev, but its better than the food u eat. those pizzas, burgers, than that its better right. so please open ur mouth wide with out using ur tongue and eat."
Dev: If I open my mouth wide, then how can i bite the morsels.
Radhika making a face "U knwo what Dev, there is a very old proverb... "
Vivek:Chodo Radhika warna bichara mar jaayega. (Leave him yaar)
Radhika:Bhaiyya, aap bhi vusko support kar rahe ho, main namak kam kyun daala, arey daadima ko kam namak khani chahiye, is liye tha na, lekin itna buri bhi nahi hain, papa toh bol rahi ki Khana acha hain na.(Bro, u are also supporting him? Why i kept less salt, becoz of daaima health na. and even papa said that the food was good)
Vaishali:Really food was nice, but Dev should go and check out his taste buds, I think
Dev: Maa, I am just jjoking, indeed food was nice, playing with Radhs/
Radhika looked at Dev and Dev winked at her Radhika made a serious face and moved away from there into the kitchen.
Birju came out with Daal vessel in his hand and Vaishali said "Birju, why are u doing this, U are working in company too right, Ab ghar mein bhi kaam kya karoi, aao baitho aur tum bhi Khana khao."(Now how will u work in home too, come, sit and eat)
Daadima: Birju aur company mein?
R.P:Haan Maa, aaj subah hi mujhe pata chala, is stupid ne, apna M.B.A khatam kiya, wo bhi first class percentage ke saath.Kal subah hi Dev ne mujhe saari certificates dikhaya tha, mujhe bahut acha laga aur main ne vo G.M ki post khali hua tha na, vo isko de diya."(Yes maa, today mng only Dev showed me all his certificates and I came to know that this stupid completed his MBA in first class. I felt good and I gave him that vacant post)
Daadima: Waah Birju beta, kitna acha kaam kiya. (U did a good work dear)
Ammaji who was sitting there "Acha kaam kyun nahi karega, jab iss ghar ki ladki ko phasaane ke kaam mein ho. " (Why won't he do good things when he was in work of flattering this house's girl)
Dev left out a big sigh... "God..."
Shalini started to sweat, she holded mrinalini who was sitting beside her for support.
R.P,Viashali and Daadima looked at Birju and ammaji's words frowning.
Vaishali:What are u saying aunty.
Radhika who listened came there and keeping bowl on table said "Maa, papa, Daadima. I know u three are really kind hearted and good people. U always calculate a persons eligibility by his character and heart, not by his money. So I am daring to say this to u. Birju bhaiyya Shalini se pyaar karte han aur Shalini bhi Bhai se pyaar karte hain "
R.P and Vaishali gasped out... R.P was abt to talk some thing when Radhika interrupted and going to him and holding his hands said "Papa, aap jo bhi kehne se pehle, mere baat toh suno. Papa, Birju bhaiyya, dhanik aadmi nahi hain, vo ek badi si family se bhi nahi hain, lekin vuske paas, sab se bada power hain, vo hain knowledge. Vo apne pyaar ke liye hi jee jaan lagakar pada tha, aur apna M.B.A ompete kiya tha. He did all the work in home perfectly and managed hsi time to read too.
We can understand how much he love Shalini. Birju bhaiyya,was never treated as a servan of this house , he was just treated like the son of this hosue, adn he loves u all in the same way. he is really a good hearted person and Shalini will be happy with him. and also, Shalini will be with us after marriage too... If we give her in big and rich family too, whats guarranty that she will be happy. than that here with all of usshe will be happy right. Please papa, accept na."
R.P:Radhika u didnn't know wether I will say yes or no and with out knowing u said this all to me... U should have said me all this if ever I said 'NO" yaar
Dev shouted "yaay..."
Radhika didn't understand "Sorry papa, I didn't understand"
Shankar who was exactly beside R.P said "Matlab Raj bhaiyya is accepting."
Radhika:Sachi
R.P pinching Radhika:Muchi...
Vaishali getting still nervous Shalini " Abhi tak nervous ho..., Nervous hone ki kya baat hain. we said haan right"(U are nervous still now, what need to be nervous, we all said haan right)
Shalini got up and hugged Vaishali tightly...
Birju was normal, Asmi happily asked "Kya hua Birju bhai, aap abhi bhi itna serious kyun ho"(What happened Birju bhai, u were still this serious)
Birju went near Daaadima and asked "Daadima, are u okay with this marriage."
Every one stopped.
Daadima: Thank god Birju atleast u asked me, but my dear Radharani, who always say every thign to me went straightly to Raj and asked him, becoz...
Radhika and Mrinalini came from back and said together " We know that u will accept..."
Birju smiled and stood there.
Vivek went in and brought the box of Rasgulla... " Ye lo Mr. sufferer. The sweet on occasion of making u throw into the hell"
Shalini:Vivek Bhaiyya, agar aaj meri shadi ki pakki hone ka din nahi hot toh, I should have killed u . Don't pull my legs today.
Radhika:Dekha bhaiyya, isliye hi Vivek bhaiyya waise kaha"(See bro, thats why only Vivek bro said that way)
Shalini:My dear would be...
Dev stopped Shalini by keeping his hand on her mouth and dragged her a side.
Shalini:Bro, what happened, why didn't u let me say abt u and Radhu, don't u people doesn't have any plans to marry each other.
Dev: Aisa nahi yaar, we both need 6 months time.
Shalini:Kyun?
Dev: Haan... Actually Bhaiyya-Bhabhi will leave to U.S next week right so I has to manage all the buisness schedules so...
Shalini: Haan... but u can atleats let me tell Mom-dad right
Dev:No yaar, then they will try to marry us, so...
Shalini:Thik hain...
R.P announced at table finally " Tomorrow, all of us leaving for Vrindavan , after the puja, we will get the dats for Enagament done. The engagement will be done for now before Vivek and Mrinu leave for U.S and Marriage will be done as soon as they return back. because by the time they return back, it will be the times fo janashhtami..."
Radhika:Good papa, okay I will leave for Vrindavan early in the mng at 4:00 so that I can get arrangements done, Asmi,Dev, and Baavuji will accompany me. Okay
Vaishali:kay dear...
Radhika:That's fine. abhi main soti hun
Vaishali:Eat ur food Radhu
Radhika:Mom.. I ate a lot today afternoon, now no mood to eat.
Shankar:radhika, are u feared of ur own food? Don't worry its not that bad.
Radhika;Aisa kuch nahi Baavuji, okay fine I will eat. Maa mujhe bhi kuch khila do.
vaishali smiled and made morsels and keep them in Radhika's mouth and Dev hi fied with Shankar. \
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Dev came into his bed room, afer chatting a lot with Shankar and R.P and saw some one in the balcony, he went there and found it as Radhika.
Dev:Radhika...
Radhika looked at Dev and smiled "Haan Dev"
Dev:I thought u must be sleeping.
Radhika:Pata nahi Dev, sab kuch itna jaldi jaldi ho raha han, I am even tinking some times, why does my life became a race in last one year.
Dev smiled and said:Now what happened.
Radhika:Tomorrow, I am leaving to vrindavan, generally leaving to Vrindavan makes me much happy, but this time don't know why , some thing feels different.
Dev:Its becoz u are coming there after three months.
Radhika:Then I should be happy right... but I don't feel it, I feel much of fear.
Dev:Fear...
Radhika:Haan Dev, fear, that only makes me wonder.
Dev:Wo isliye ki, Maan aur Geet bhi aarahe hain na, u might be fearing how to hide ur true Identity from our family.
Radhika:Thats of my least concern, tomorrow Rohan is coming and I should hide from him, atleast I should manage not to show my face to him, but how can it be possible when the whole family is around... but if ever he see me, he will get disturbed becoz of my face that mingles with face of Ruby didi. I don't want him to feel bad becoz of me.
Dev:Aisa kuch nahi hoga, don't worry. we will make sure that Rohan won't see u, indeed u had my help, uncles help, Maan-Geet's help, asmi too might know for sure, so she too will help us.
Radhika went near Dev and kept her hed on his shoulder , Dev smiled and stroked her hair gently. Radhika thought to her self "Kanha, please kuch gad bad mat hone do na"
Dev:Kuch bhi gadbad nahi hoga, fikhar mat karo.
Radhika smiled...
