PART III
Mornings are always a rushed affair at the Khandelwal home..especially weekdays..however Sunday mornings are a different sort..lazy..long..lethargic..but not for her..these mornings she has to manage the house with lesser staff since two of the helpers are off on Sundays..She is in the store room..assists Harilal with some boxes..while most people in the house are not up yet..except Daadi who is in the pooja room..
She comes to Daadi with a box in her hand..Daadi laughs recollecting the contents..thats how he finds her..while coming down the stairs..with his Dadee having a good laugh..he rubs his morning face..and smiles at her smiling at his Dadee..she turns to him like she knows he is right there..they smile at each other..
She: Aap uth gaye?
He: (comes down the stairs): Hmm..haath mein kya hai?
Daadee: Yeh meri hai..tum jaake mooh dholo..aur chalo nashta kha lo..
She: (smiles): Sunna aapne
He: Kya yaar..mujhe bhi batao tumhare secrets..
She: (smiles and shakes her head away): batane ko kuch hai hi nahin..
He: (bends towards her): Waise..tumhare bare mein bahut si cheezein ab tak nahin jaanta..
She: Kaisi cheezein?
He: Main kyun bataoon?
She: Jab jaante nahin ho tho bataoge kaise?
He: (claps his one hand over the other): Wohi tho bataane waali cheez hai..
She: (hands on hips): Kaunsee cheez?
He: (points finger out to her and shakes his head): Wohi jo tumne bataya nahin..batado..
She: Bataadoon?? (moves closer to him)
He: Haan..batado..(moves closer to her)
Sunil enters..they move away..
Sunil: (smiles at her, looks at him): Tumne factory walli file padhee..?
He: Haan..actually mujhe kuch numbers samajh nahi aa rahe the..
Sunil: Aaj raat tak we need to send it? Hojayega..?
He: I think so..
Sunil: I need them..
He: Don't worry Dad..
She looks at him..he smiles..they walk towards the breakfast table..
Daadee: Akshay aur Khusboo apne kamre mein breakfast kha rahe hai..yeh bahut achaa idea hai..at least Sunday ke din pati patni ko kuch time milna chahiye ek doosre ke saath..(looks at Sunil who has completely ignored the jibe)
Sunil: (suddenly looks up): Table pe itna sannatta kyun hai bhai?
She looks at her husband who looks like he is about to say something..she pipes in before he can..
She: Aada..aap juice lenge?
Sunil: Haan please! Thanks.
He: Mom kahan hai?
Sunil: So rahee hai..
Daadee: (looks at the young couple): Tum dono kaheen ghoomne kyun nahi jaate aaj?
Sunil: (opens the newspaper and sips his juice): Madhavi uthne tak movie theatre bandh ho jaayenge..
The young couple grin at each other..
Dadee: (rolls her eyes..looks at her): Tum keh rahee thee ke dhulwaadi mein tum first day first show dekha kartee thee..
He: (stares at her): Achha???!!
She: Jee..woh..main..
Daadee: Aaj tum dono ho aao..
He: Lekin mujhe..I have got..(looks at his father)
She: Daadee..hum agle hafte chale jaate hai..
Sunil: Maa..aaj isse bahut kaam hai..tum aur bahu ho aao..
They look at each other..quite disappointed..Daadee is already looking at the entertainment section..calling out names of movies..she presses a smile..he gets up and walks up the stairs..Dadee has zeroed in on a movie..evening show..
Most of the afternoon is spent buried in files..he needs to crack it before the evening ends..he has forgotten all about her leaving for a movie..he has had no chance to think of it..number crunching has begun to give him a headache..needs a cup of coffee..gets out of the study..comes down the stairs..
He: Sab log hai kahan?
Harilal: Bade saab office gaye hai..aur baaki sab bahar hai..
He: (pauses..wonders)..Woh..??
Harilal: Choti Bhabhee aur Daadee picture dekhne gaye hai..
He: Picture????!!!..lekin ghar pe itna kaam hai..!!
Harilal: Jee??!!
He: (runs his hand over his neck): I mean kay.. (puts his hand forward): tum sab kar loge? Kar sakoge??..tumharee bhabhee ke bina yahan patta nahin hiltaa..achaa hua usse ek break mil gaya..ab dekhta hoon..kaise karte ho tum?..khana..vaghera..(turns around..grits his teeth..shuts his eyes..anything to hide his embarrassment)
Harilal: Jee jaane se pehle chothee bhabhee ne khanna already bana liya..
He: (turns around): Achaa??..tho phir khade kya ho..tum bhi jao..
Harilal: Jee khana banana ke alavaa aur kaam hai..
He: (stares at him and authoritatively): Achaa..tho phir khade kya ho?..jao karo..
Harilal turns..smiles a small smile and walks towards the kitchen..
He walks up the stairs..into their room..opens her cupboard..runs his hand over her sarees..wonders if she is enjoying the movie..he calls her..gets a switched off signal..realises must be in the movie hall..he sees a framed photo lying face down on the uppermost shelf..he knows the face on the photo..even without looking..he pulls it..something else slips and falls at his feet..he picks it up..it seems like an application form to JJ School of Art..he wonders if it is hers..
He shuts the cupboard..his phone rings..
He: Hello?
She: Aapka kaam ho gaya?
He: Nahin thoda baaki hai..but mostly done..kya hua? Picture kaisi lagee??
She: Theek thee..Daadee so gayee..
He: KYA?
She: Haan picture dekhte waqt so gayee aur kharaate maar rahee thee..
He: (grins): Ab kahan hai?
She: Yahan washroom mein..hasiye mat..mujhe picture mein kuch soonaiyee nahin de raha tha..
He: (laughs): You mean Daddee ki kharathein Dolby Stereo se bhi ..??
She: Jee haan..hasiye mat..Daadee aa gayee..main phone rakhtee hoon..
He: Arrey suno tho..
There is nothing much one can say to a dial tone..He waits for his wife to return..she will be home soon..he thinks..he is hungry..walks down to the kitchen..Harilal informs him its only him and them for dinner..everyone else is out..he decides to wait..he finishes off his work..emails it off..walks back to their room..stares at the application sitting on the sofa..
She enters the bedroom..Harilal has told her that he found him fast asleep when came to fetch him for dinner..she finds him fast asleep on the sofa..clutching a piece of paper..she runs her fingers over his hair..he seems so tired she thinks..he looks up at her..takes a minute to orient..sits up..looks at the paper in his hand..she sits next to him..
She: Kaam ke saath hi so gaye?
He: Yeh shayad tumhara hai..(hands it over)
She: (looks at it..realises): Woh main..batane waali thee..
He: Tum join karna chahtee ho?
She: Jee..main soch rahee thee..ki..aap
He: (smiles and bends his face towards her): Ki main tumhare baare mein bahut si cheezein abhi tak nahin jaanta..
She keeps the application aside..takes his hand..holds the tip of his finger to her lips and whispers: Aise?!
