Lal Singh was surprised with jagya's sudden dizzinness n head ache.. he checked the power of medicines , they were of normal dosage tablets , he was acting fake.. he laughed like hell.
Someone else got the same doubt , its Ganga she asked infront everyone ,"But Dr.sa you were alright yesterday and even today you were chatting with all.." jagya gave her 'was it necessary to ask look' . She looked down..
Lal Singh said ,"Ganga sometimes it happens.. leave it." Jagya smiled at him ,Lal singh was trying to control his laugh.. he smiled back n left the room to have heartful laugh.He was happy for his friend.
All of them left... ganga was changing bandages and jagya was playing with Mannu.
PART 11:
An hour passed , Bhairon talked to sumi over phone . He had ate kichidi n had some orange juice.Ganga gave him the prescribed medicines.. "Ganga beta, you will defenitely become a very good nurse."Bhairon said.
Bhairon observed Jagya being alright with Mannu.. "Seems like your head ache and dizziness has vanished!!'' he asked jagya...
Jagya was definetely stunned.. he instantly said ,"Play with him you will get ur answer baapusa . When ever i feel stressed I come to him,I prescribe as a Doctor spend time with my pakka dost.." Bhairon interrupted ''pakka dost?!? , Mannu is ur pakka dost.." he asked.
"Oh yes.. he is my pakka dost. play with him." said jagya n.. placed mannu besides his father.. Ganga tried to stop.. saying ''he might hurt you'' .. Bhairon took him into his lap and said , "Now you have one more person who wants to be ur pakka dost. Tell me.will you make me my friend?"
Mannu looked at jagya.. he was nodding his head signalling him to nod too.. Mannu gave a laugh nodded his head in 'yes' n started to play with his soft toy the sponge bob ones... Jagya was so happy to see Mannu being loved by his baapusa. "You are right.. he is a stress buster." said bhairon..
Ganga was teary eyed.. she couldn't stand there looking at them.. she rushed out of the room saying, "I have to cook for us
dr.sa , you stay here."
She was overwhelmed by the love they shower on them . She has only seen human beings acting like animals forgetting morals.. She was completly in tears..
Meanwhile Jagya who hasn't yet got answer for his questions was much worried about Ganga n reason which is bothering her..."Baapusa.. dont you think Ganga is hiding something from me..I mean us. I can't say particularily what she is hiding but since Mannu's b'day she was the same.. then suddenly next day we planned to come to udaipur n all this happened." jagya said.
Bhairon understood his son's worries , "Even i felt the same. yesterday.. You haven't yet come near the car when we started for the venue.. i asked her why she is looking so tensed.. her reply wasn't satisfactory.. " he said in low voice looking straightly into Jagya's eyes giving a confirmation that both are sharing same doubt.
Ganga came out of the emotional state since Dr.sa is almost spying at her. She want neither him nor his family to know about Ratan.. "Ganga you have to behave as normal as possible."she said to herself..she continued "What shall I cook?" and she found only one vegetable fresh in that house.. It is sangri(beans)
Meanwhile..Mannu was exhausted.. he was hungry.. Jagya could sense that looking at his face. "You are hungry"he asked the toddler.. He nodded in 'yes'..
"Lets see whats in kitchen.. come." he said n took mannu into his arms and left the room . Bhairon was attending a call from his worker.. about some business matter..
Jagya reached kitchen.. Ganga was in tears.. she has just cut some onions.. He paused.. looked at her n onions simaltaneously.. "Mannu I think its better you be with ur new pakka dost.. ur mom doesn't like our friendship.. She is so insecure because you love me more.. right?"he was trying to tease ganga.. He looked at mannu's face n looked at ganga.. He just wanted her to smile n laugh.. the way she used to.
Ganga was surprised.. "What!! Insecure.. Who? me.. No chance.. I say my Mannu loves me more than anyone.. ok" she said sarcastically..
"Ohoo lets see,"Jagya said.He came back after making mannu to sit beside bhairon.
she knew he was trying to make her laugh . She just smiled.. She checked the refridgerator already nothing much was present in the house.. why does it? The members last night celebrated the engagement of the younger son..
"Dr.saa Mannu like.. A." jagya cut her off saying.. "Anaar(pomogranate) I know.." he ran upstairs..holding anaar in his hand. Jagya was about to feed him.. bhairon said, "Let me do it..". Jagya was happy.. he returned.down so that he can help Ganga.
"What are you cooking?" he asked.her entering the kitchen . "Sangri Ki Sabji.."she said in a low tone.. since she knew Jagya loves it and especially when Anandiji makes it.
"What!! really Sangri Ki sabji.. i will be eating it after a lot of time."he said happily.. n continued "umm.. tell me whats ur favourite? I will cook"
Ganga laughed.. "You will cook?! Dr.saa aap" she said.
Chef in him woke up.. "I know cooking. I cook much better than you.."he said making a puppy face.
She was smiling all the time.. when he was saying the words n making faces.. She thought for a sec n said, "I like seero (suji Halwa / in south it is called kesari)" she said.
"Huh.. easy he washed his hands n started picking out ingredients which were so less in quantity...". he said in excitement.. Ganga was surpressing her laugh looking at Chef.Dr.saa .
She had to add kismis in sangri ki sabji she took the box out.., "Thank you.."he took the entire box.
She was surprised.., "That kismis were mine.."she said n tried taking the box from his hands..
"oh.. hello! your name is not written on this box" he snatched the box. "What?!?" she said in a surprise.. "what? what?!?" he said.. n was about to add all of them in seero.. he stopped looked at her..she was making a puppy face...
"Ok.. here take it.." he gave her half of the amount. She smiled and was about to take it.. but he stretched his arm upwards..
She tried reaching his hand but he was too tall . She jumped a bit still.. she couldn't.. reach his hand. He was laughing at her all the time..
"I don't need it.. its all yours.."she said and gave a saute to the beans..
"Here"he said.. he gave it. "I don't need it. I have already told you.."she said in angry tone.. ofcourse it was a payback time.. she was enjoying it.
"Ok here take it all.." he said.. thought to himself , "Have i hurt her..unintentionally though but i think she is angry.. you are idiot Jagya" he said. "Please take it I am sorry.." he said..
She laughed.. she laughed heartfully.. after a longtime..
"I can make myself fool to see you happy.. wish the smile never fades.." he thought n surprised at his thoughts..
Both conpleted their dishes.. Now comes the tasting.. He tasted his favourite curry.. It was delecious . It was not the way his family makes it but he loved this one too. "Nice.. Very nice.." he was enjoying every bit of it.
He observed Ganga still din't taste Halwa.., "I agree I can't cook like you but I am not that worse.." he said.. looking into her eyes.. He was shocked to see tears in her eyes..
"Hey.. why are you crying now? Ganga tell me what happened.." he said.. n moved his chair closer..
"Dr.sa do you know who was the last person to cook something for me..," she said in a low voice.. n continued ,"My mother.. she cooked this dish just the day my parents passed away due to an accident."
He understood her feelings.. Her words left him dumb. "Look I don't say I completely understand how you are feeling right now Ganga.. But please don't cry.. Whereever they are they only want to see you happy shed tears of joy for them not to cry for them... Please dont cry.." he said.
He cupped her cheek n wiped the tears.. it was friendly gesture.. He took the spoonful of halwa and made her to eat.. "Howz it?" he asked like a kid who had cooked for first time..
"Just the way my mom makes.. Very delicious.. "she said with a smile wiping her tears..
Both returned to the room.. after washing dishes..Bhairon was sleeping and Mannu too was sleeping beside his new pakka dost..
They smiled at each other.. and waited for others to return.
