PART-2
Days are passing on. As the pregnancy is complicated everyone are very careful about RANO. As said by the pandit, the news of the baby proved as luck to the families as my of their works are complited successfully.
One such day when RANO is in 3rd month, MAAN who came from school went to RANO and asked the question eating him from the day he got the news of his PARI.
MAAN- Maa
RANO- Haan beta, do u want anything?
MAAN- Maa u told me na PARI is coming and live with me. But why she is coming here and now where is she?
RANO-(Smiling) As I saw u all are teasing u for being silent, I asked babaji to send a PARI for u to make them shut their mouths for u and play with u and now she is here (took his small hand and kept it on her stomach). Now I will say u one thing will u fulfill it? (at the same time DADI, DAARJI, RAAJVEER, MOHINDER, RAM, NISHA, LALIT, DADAJI came there to enquire about her health and heard to their conversation)
MAAN- Haan I do whatever u want me to do.
RANO- Then promise me that u will look after PARI, protect her, help her when she needs u and will always be beside her.
MAAN- Haan Maa I promise u I will be always beside her what may happen.
RANO- For that first u have to become strong and know how to fight for urself in every way. You have to study hard to be become successful. Ok now tell me one thing What you want to do after you grow up?
MAAN- ( Excitedly and confidently) I will become like DADAJI ( all those who are listening to the conversation were very surprised to listen to him now everyone are listening to him carefull, where DAADI and RAJVEER were feeling happy and proud).
RANO- What you want become like DADAJI (surprisingly) and then asked what do you know about DADAJI, you didn't saw him?
MAAN- Haan I want to become like DADAJI. One day when all are playing in the garden, I was sitting with DADI along with DAARJI, BADI BEEJI, BADE DAARJI, CHOTI BEEJI, CHOTE DAARJI, DADAJI then I heard them talking about DADAJI how he used to be in childhood, how he started in business, hoe he fighted for the truth and lost his life, how he used to be disciplined from then whenever I saw them sitting together I learn some new things about DADAJI. That's why I knew how he was. I want to become like him. They all call him TRUE KHURANA. I too want to be a TRUE KHURANA (pronouncing exactly how DADAJI used to pronounce the word KHURANA with same strength and authority where all the remaining are watching them shockingly and thinking how he remembered the entire conversation and aiming to be like that having tears in their eyes and feeling happy and proud)
RANO (with a tearful smile) took him in her lap and kissed him fondly.
After that incident every elder started to see him differently by comparing him to his DADAJI.
One day RANO was feeling very weak and dizzy. As it was a Sunday MAAN is with her. Doctor came to check her and told her that lots of bed rest and healthy food is needed because of her weakness baby is getting effected. MAAN who is listening to this went to his MOM asked what happened as most of the things was not understandable to him.
NISHA- MAAN RANO Maa is very weak, she has to be healthy, otherwise it will be dangerous to the baby.
MAAN- what we have to do to keep her healthy?
NISHA-We should not let her work and make her have ample reset and healthy food. You are always with your Maa na so it is your responsibility to see her whether she is taking rest and food and not working all around and the baby is fine. Ok
MAAN- ok MOM I will not let her work and give her healthy food, you don't worry.
NISHA- Goodboy, now go and play (kissing his forehead).
MAAN went to RANO and sit there watching her what she is doing. RANO who is observing him called him and asked what he is doing here usually at this time he will be playing.
MAAN- I want to be with you and watch you what you are doing, MOM said you and baby are my responsibility.
RANO- (feeling happy and smilingly) so you are keeping an eye on Maa haan
MAAN- Yes. Now you don't talk and sleep. I will sit beside you.
From then MAAN is always with her except at school time and nights. He will play around her, do his homework sitting beside her and shares his school talks.
A week after, on Sunday all are having their lunch watching a movie where a marriage is taking place, RANO become emotional and started crying. All observed this asked her why is she crying?
RANO- I want to ask you one thing (all are listening to her) especially MAAJI,DAARJI, BHAIJI, NISHA, MOHAN I want our daughter to get married to MAAN as I cann't take it when she is going away from me.(all of them started smiling as all of them are wishing the same)
MAAN who was watching all this was called by RANO near her. He went to her and sat beside her
RANO- MAAN I told you that baby is your responsibility, you remember
MAAN- Haan I do remember, I will always be with her and protect her and play with her.
RANO- But when she will be grown enough she will be get married and go away from you like in that movie
MAAN- She will not go anywhere. You said that she is my gift. She won't go anywhere.
RANO- For that you have to do one thing
MAAN- what?
RANO- When you both are grown enough you both have to marry her
MAAN- what is marriage?
RANO- That you will know when you are growing and promise me you will marry her
MAAN- ok, I will marry her ( all are smiling listening to them )
