********CHAPTER-2********
PRESENT: RAICHAND MANSION,RAJESHWARI'S ROOM:
Rajeshwari was sitting in d same position thinking abt d period dat drastically changed their lives.A tear rolled down her cheek thinking abt d moment dat had broken down d barrier around her dat had suddenly appeared out of no where when she had heard abt d death of her husband;d moment was d birth of her younger Gson ABHAY RAICHAND.No matter an iron lady she appeared frm outside bt d confines of her room were silent spectator of d continuous sobs n bleeding of her heart since so many yrs.
FLASHBACK:
Chand was holding d shoulders of his mother 2 support her at this moment coz d rxn frm his mother was frightening him.Already he had lost his father,again Haseena n baby were fighting 4 their life in d OT n now d numb,statue like state of his mother whose tears were refusing 2 flow out of her eyes as if an invisible wall was quickly built around her d moment she heard about d death of her husband cutting her off frm d outside world.
To Rajeshwari whose dream of their Bful world was crashed in a moment it was d time when her senses,brain n above all her courage 4 which she was admired by her husband as a true raichand were gone out of d window.She was feeling blank n BLACK!
Seeing n sensing d grave situation just when Chand was about 2 open his mouth d door of d OT opened n Dr. Informed wid a smile"CONGRATULATIONS! U HAV BECOME D FATHER OF A BFUL BABY BOY".U can see Mrs. Raichand after we shift her 2 normal ward after abt 2 hrs n went away.
A feeling of relief washed over him dat at least one tension is gone bt at this moment he didn't know how 2 react! Coz of d gr8est n gravest shock of loosing his father n now this coma like situation of his mother at d same time! He simply looked at his mother's face which was blank now n waited 4 a rxn if she cud give...
Someone's voice reached d Rajeshwari's ears in this blank state n Wht does it say? "u hav become d father of a B'ful baby boy".Did she heard it right? yes!
Suddenly all d emotions dat were refusing 2 come out just a moment ago bursted out like a volcano breaking down all d barriers around her again connecting her 2 d world n she fell down slipping frm d hands of her son.Streams of tears rolled down her cheeks n she wept loudly.Immediately Chand sat besides her consoling her feeling relieved somewhere dat finally she s letting her emotions out. With teary eyes n choking voice he was consoling her bt was allowing her 2 vent out her emotions.
A nurse came n told them 2 keep silence in d hospital.
Rajeshwari Raichand slowly returned 2 senses n after an hour of silent sobbing she suddenly said"I want 2 see my Gson".
Chand was stunned 2 see d Iron Lady inside of her resurfacing again at this situation!
PRESENT:
The cheeks of Rajeshwari were wet due 2 d memory of d period of gr8est dilemma of her life.
Suddenly she heard a chirpy girly voice calling her "dadi ma...dadi ma, whr r u?"
Rajeshwari quickly wiped off her tears n came out of her room n said"Alina beta why r u shouting dear? I m here".
Alina: Dadi did u see d live telecast of d passing out parade on TV?
Rajeshwari: No,why?
Alina: OMG dadi u missed it! How cud u? I saw it whole.ABHAY was lookin soo soo...(she was abt 2 say HANDSOME bt cudn't) good in uniform.I hav seen him after 4 yrs.
Rajeshwari smiled.She knew Alina n Abhay were classmates upto d 12th n were good frens.Alina was their neighbour too n so was totally comfortable wid them frm d childhood.Bt she knew dat somewhere Alina's feelings 4 Abhay r more than just frenship bt Abhay,he is too naive 2 understand these n never thought abt her more than just frens.He was too much engrossed in his preparation 4 NDA n join d Army.She had seen d fallen face of Alina d day Abhay had cleared d NDA entrance as if she never wanted him 2 go.
Rajeshwari said: "well he must as he is my Gson.He phoned too n he said he wud be coming 2 Mumbai in a few days 2 collect his stuff n meet us" with a smile.
Alina: Really! OMG dadi i m so happy.Abb..hay is coming! Her eyes sparkled n she blushed with d inner joy.She quickly got up n ran away before dadi cud say something.
Rajeshwari had just opened her mouth 2 sat something bt cudn't due 2 Alina's supersonic speed of running away! She just shook her head n smiled.
Evening: Haseena was cleaning n setting things in d room of Abhay when her eyes got stuck on d childhood photo of Akshay n Abhay clicked on a school function,both bros dressed in Army uniform with Air guns on their shoulders n wid other hand were saluting.Her blue eyed angels!
Abhay was grinning widely wid his dimples showing looking cute as a button.She picked up d photograph n kissed it.At d same time tears rolled down her cheeks remembering Akshay.
Just then Chand came frm d office,d sound of d doorbell made her snap out of her dreamland n she quickly came out of Abhay's room.
