chapter-9

Deepti was returning home after a long day's work...her eyes were attracted to a red lehenga on display at a bridal boutique...it was enchanting... the numerous crystals attached to the lehenga glittered in the lighting focussed on it at the store...heavy zardozi on the border gave it a regal appearance..it was fit for a princess . ..pankhi lace on the odni...fine gota work on the blouse with persian embroidery...she had always thought that the combination of zardozi and gota work in a single garment would be outrageous...but that was until she saw this beauty.

Everything was fine except the price. It cost a whopping 3 lakhs and weighed enough to break her waist. Bade papa would never agree to such ostentation...Deepti sighed and went home. She knew that at best she would be allowed to wear a red Banarasi saree...

Bade papa was against splurging and unless the Mathurs made demands' the wedding would be a simple affair...Ashu is too principled a man to make demands'...so splurging was ruled out ...but the fact that the groom was a principled man was also the best part of the wedding...she wouldn't get the lehenga of her dreams ..instead she would get the man of her dreams...that was enough to send her into a dream land.

Dr.Ranga returned home but Nidhi decided against returning to Mathur mansion...Anji approved it but it brought DB sheer misery...

Bacchi tu apne ghar kyun nahi ja rahi

Apne ghar mein hi toh hoon

mera matlab yeh tha ki tu apne pathi ke ghar kyun nahi ja rahi

mein ab wahan nahi jaoongi

DB shouted kya kaha

mein wahan wapas nahi jaoongi DB

kyun?

Woh aap apne damad se poochiye

usse kyun poochoon? tu bata

ab unhe meri zaroorat nahi hain

aise nahi kehte hain bacche,,,jhagda toh har pati patni ke beech hota hai...mein bhi apne pati se khoob jhagadti thi par kabhi bhi unse alag hone ke bare mein socha bhi nahi

Maine loi jhagda nahi kiya DB, Dr.Ashutosh hi mujhe apne se door kar rahe hai

Chuup...Tujhe kya lagta hai ki mein daktar ko nahi jaanti...woh khara sona hai..mein tere ilzaam ko nahi maanti

Nidhi started sobbing and went to Anji's house for comfort.

Shyama was at the florists,Ranga was unpacking his bags and was surprised to see Nidhi in such a state...Nidhi clung to Anji for comfort .

Kya hua Nidhi

DB bhi Dr.Ashutosh ka side le rahi hai...woh meri poori baat sunne ke liye ready hi nahi hai.

Tune saaf saaf bataya nahi hoga nahi toh woh kyun unko iss mamle mein support karti

Sab sochte hai ki Dr.Ashutosh bahut bhale hai...mein bhi yahi sochkar dokha kha gayi...sach toh sirf hum dono hi jaante hai na...

Tune uss chudail ko phone kiya kya..pehle usse deal karte hai...usse scene se bhagathe hai aur phir Dr.Ashutosh ko theek karthe hai...Accha hua ki DB ko tune poori baat nahi batayi, iss mamle ko delicately handle karne ki zaroorat hai.

Anji gets an idea and asks...

Dr.Ranganath kya aap kisi Deepti ko jaanthe hai?

Ranga breaks into cold sweat...Tanya se break up ke baad maine usse 2 weeks date kiya tha..parr jab se tum mili ho tab se maine sab se contacts break kiya hai..tumhari kasam.

Anji turns red..mai apse sau baar keh chuki hoon ki meri kasme math khaya kijiye...mai aapki baat nahi kar rahi hoon...mein uss deepti ki baat kar rahi hoon jiska chakkar Dr.Ashutosh ke saath chal raha hai.

Nidhi sobs loudly at this

Ranga gets startled--------Dr.Ashutosh ka chakkar????

Nahi Anji, mujhe kuch nahi pata..main toh soch bhi nahi sakta ki Dr.Ashutosh itni tarakki bhi kar sakte hai...(Ranga bites his lips when he realises that it was inappropriate to say so in Nidhi's presence).

Aap isse tarakki kehte hai...Dr.Ashutosh ne itni giri hui harkat ki hai par aap toh unhe hero maan rahe hai...men are dogs.

Anji throws a hardbound book at Ranga and he leaves the room nursing his injured hand.

Anji and Nidhi talk for some more time...Nidhi's emotions gain some semblance of normalcy after an hour and then they decide to call Deepti

Hello, kya main Deepti se baat kar sakti hoon?

Ji mein Deepti bol rahi hoon..par aap kaun?

Tum Dr.Ashutosh ko phasane ki koshish band karne ke liye kya logi

who are you?

pehle mere baat ka jawab de chudail...aren't you ashamed of roaming around with my man?

Your man?

Hasn't your precious Ashutosh told you about me? ok..then go ahead and ask him who is Nidhi? in case he knows many girls called Nidhi, then specify by telling that she is the one who works under him in KGH...after all that it the only relationship that seems to exist now.

Nidhi cuts the call, lest her rival hear her cry

How are you going to continue the misunderstanding???

If Deepti asks Ashu, he has to say she is his wife...😛

chapter10

It was now Deepti's turn to worry...who was that girl...what relationship does she have with Ashutosh...was he a cheat ..no..my heart says Ashu can't cheat...but then why did that girl call her and speak like that...what if the girl was right ...will Ashu turn out to be similar to the scums she has met in the past?

By now Deepti had finished making around 20 rounds of her room...she pressed her fingers in worry and walked as if she were in a deep trance. She was so lost in her world that she didn't notice that her bade papa had entered the room.

Deepti kya hua beta..badi pareshan nazar aa rahi ho?

Accha hua aap aa gaye bade papa...abhi abhi ek ladki ka phone aaya aur usne mujhe Dr.Ashutosh se door rehne ke liye kaha aur yeh bhi kaha ki woh sirf uske hai.

Kaun thi woh aurat?

Koi Nidhi...KGH se

Nidhi...KGH se ...tumhara matlab Dr.Nidhi...woh kyun phone karne lagi bhala...yeh zaroor ek prank call hai,.

yeh aap itne vishwas ke saath kaise keh sakte hai...sach bhi toh ho sakta hai...Nidhi unki subordinate aur...aur phir aise calls kar rahi hai.

Mein woh isliye keh raha hoon kyunki Dr.Nidhi shadishuda hai...woh bhala dr.Ashutosh ke peeche kyun padegi..usme lakh burayian ho sakti hai, par woh apne pati ko chodkar Ashutosh ke peeche kyun ghoomegi...aur waise bhi KGH mein sab log Ashutosh se darthe hai...office romance ki baath toh ruled out hai

Aap sach keh rahe hai bade papa

Aur nahi toh kya..kisi ne zaroor Dr.Nidhi ka naam lekar yeh prank call kiya hai...iss duniya mein kitne rotten' log rehte hai...parr usse tumhara number mila kaise...don't worry mein woh pata laga loonga..tum Ashutosh se kuch math kehna...bechare ko lagega ki tum uspe shakh kar rahi ho...khamakha worried ho jayega...abhi yeh rishtha naya naya hai..isse vishwas ki buniyad pe build karo..shak ki nahi...

saying this DD patted Deepti's head...

Deepti smiled and nodded obediently..jee bade papa.

Aur haan Deepu beta ..main parso Dr.Mathur se milne jaa raha hoon...rishthe ki baath karne..ab tumhare khush rehne ke din hai.

Meanwhile in Solanki house

Anji, tujhe kya lagta hai, woh chudail iss warning se maan jayegi

Agar usme zara si sharam baki hai toh woh maan jayegi...parr jo aurat doosro ke pati pe dore dalti hai usse kya sharam?

Toh phir kya hume dr.Ashutosh ki jassosi continue karni chahiye

Haan, that is the only way out..we can check whether our warning has deterred that bandicoot and also see the lengths they are willing to go together...we won't strike till the time is right..our strike should be a surgical one..one strike of the scalpel and the tumour is cut off forever.

Ashutosh lay on his sofa thinking about KGH...it had grown a lot in the past few years but it certainly had the potential for growing at a faster pace...with Dubey now in KGH he felt that he had a strong ally by his side...then his thoughts wandered towards DD and the conversation he had with him in his cabin ( see update 8)...and the one in canteen ..where he asked so casually about his friends esp the one whom Deepti met..//oh I was so stupid at that time ..not to understand why //(in reality it was merely a casual convo to get to know Ash better)

Dubey's sudden interest in meeting Dr.MAthur suddenly seemed reasonable...his plans had fructified...maybe Deepti liked naughty Armaan and said that to DD(in reality she had described him as a weirdo)...and since MAthurs were going to be Dubey's first point of contact for this rishtha, that's why he said ab toh aana jana laga rahega.

Ashu patted his back and felt proud of his brains...after all the very brains that helped him arrive at the conclusion were also the ones that helped him win numerous gold medals ...I am one brainy chap..Ashu congratulated himself once again.

Meanwhile in a train, Baba,HK,Saroj bala and her brother Girdhari lal were travelling towards Lucknow...the inveterate talker in Saroj Bala couldn't be silenced even in the train, she was exchanging recipes with her female co passengers..

Saroj Bala's mobile rang to her delight...it was Ashu

Kya bola tune Ashu beta..Armaan ke liye ladki dekh li hai..accha uss bandar ko bhi dikha diya hai...bahut khoob..bahut khoob. parr Armaan ne toh mujhe kuch nahi kaha...ladki wale parso aa rahe hai kya..theek hai...main aur girdhari bhi bhai saheb ke saath tumhare ghar aa jate hai...the conversation went on for another half an hour on the Deepti's virtues,her family background etc etc.
