So guys!
Hinal here :) I've had half of this OS written for the past 3 months now, but couldn't finish it. Even now, I don't think I've done full justice to it... But I tried... I hope you guys enjoy it! It's a light comedy, unlike the others that I've written on TejYa :)
So here it is.. Enjoy 😳
My Buddhu Ram
I was sooo excited today!!! I couldn't wait till Tej came back from work… I was literally jumping in excitement!
Even when cooking and washing the dishes, I was humming songs and slightly dancing along
Dadaji came into the kitchen to get some water, and he too joined me in singing the song! I twirled his wheelchair around, as I expressed to him my happiness that went beyond anything that I had ever experienced before
Me – Dadaji!! Aaj mein bahooot khush hu!!
Dadaji – Woh toh dikh raha hai Toasty… Lekin yeh khushi hai kiss baat ki??
Although I wanted to tell everyone about it, I really wanted to tell Tej first… So I squinted my eyes and pouted a little… I was about to give him an excuse, when Dadaji – abruptly – rolled his wheelchair out of the kitchen, and to his room… Normally, I would question why he did that, but then I smiled as I realized, he knew me very well…
-----
Dadaji – Tumhe kya laga tum mujhse jhoot bol sakti ho?
I had my head hung in shame… He had caught me at night, massaging his feet… He had strictly forbade me from doing so, ever since the time that I married into this house…
Dadaji – Toasty, main tumhe bahot acchi tareeke se jaanta hu! Mujhse baat chupaana mushkil hi nahi, naamumkin hai!
Saying this, he laughed out loud… And then regaining the hold of the situation… He asked me to come near him, as he placed his hand on my head
Dadaji – Picchle janam mein humne bahot punya ka kaam (good things) kiya hoga warna tumhaari jaisi bahu humme dhuundne par bhi nahi milti
I smiled at him, and sat down beside him…
Me – Agar aisa hai toh phir mujhe bhi iss janam mein punya ka kaam karne ka mauka dijiye naa Dadaji!
Dadaji – Bilkul nahi! (he had said sternly)
-----
I laughed out loud, recalling that incident… I laughed even more when I realized that in the end, I compelled him to allow me to massage his feet! It was me after-all, if there's something I want, then I would do anything to get it!
I was smiling to myself and cutting the tomatoes, when I heard Tej's voice enter the house
I jumped in excitement, as I quickly finished cutting the tomatoes, not wanting to waste anytime… I was getting restless, I needed to talk to him right away otherwise I would die of just this restlessness!
I washed my hands in the sink, grabbed the towel, and walked to the living room as I wiped my hands dry… I saw Tej go to our room, and taking advantage of the perfect opportunity that presented itself, I was about to run to our room as well… If only I could have… Seems as if I'll probably have to wait longer, because just as I turned to go to our room, Pitaji entered the house with someone…
Pitaaji and a client of his, I was assuming, had a seat on the couch, as Pitaaji asked me to bring some water
Toasty – Ji Pitaaji… Abhi laayi
I went to the kitchen and filled two glasses of water, and served it to them…
Tej then came out of the room with a file in his hand, and joined Pitaaji and the client…
Great… Now I won't be able to talk to him…
I returned back to the kitchen, and resumed making dinner… Turned out, the client had come home to finalize some sort of deal with Pitaaji… Upon its finalization, Pitaaji requested him to stay back for dinner…
I sighed… I'd have to wait until after dinner to talk to Tej now…
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Nitika – Toastyyy!
Me – Kya hua Nitikaa?
Nitika – Bata naa!! Main kissi ko nahi bataaungi!!
I turned myself to face her, as I gave her a look…
Me – I'm not telling you Nitika! Tumhe intezaar karna padega!
Nitika – Tanya Tejprakash Chaturvedi…. Tumhe meri
I quickly realized she was about to say, "Tumhe meri kasam" and in the spur of a moment, I interrupted her with a, "Tumhe meri kasam Nits… No more questions"
Nitika pouted… - That's not fair! Aisi kasam nahi khaani chahiye!
Me – Accha! (folding my arms on my chest now) Tum apni kasam khaa sakti ho lekin main nahi?
I had an evil smirk on my face, as Nitika lightly slapped me and resumed back to cleaning the counter again
Me – Arrey ab ghussa mat ho… Main Tej ke baad sabse pehle tumhe bataaongi! Theek hai!
Nitika – Pakka na?
Me – Promise! (with which I accompanied a wink)
We spent the rest of the afternoon making dinner, and then served dinner, and went back to the kitchen to clean up
Me and Nits were washing the dishes, and to my luck, Malti bhabhi came to help us out too
I speedily rinsed the dishes and placed them to dry… Time was really testing my patience as this had to be the day where the whole family sits in the living room together and eats ice-cream together…
I don't mean that I don't want to spend time with the family, but I just really wanted to tell Tej! I can't even describe how desperate I am to tell talk to him!
I quickened my pace unconsciously, and sprinted out of the kitchen as soon as the dishes were done, leaving a smiling Nitika and Malti bhabhi behind…
Tej was talking to Gyaan, maybe helping him with his homework, but I'd have none of that now… I was frustrated with how the day was turning out to be, so I grabbed Tej by his forearm, and led him to our room
Gyaan – Bhabhi yeh aap kya kar rahi hai? Mujhe Tej bhaiyya se baat karni hai!
Toasty – Bas Gyaan! Bahot ho gaya!
I spoke out bitterly, for no particular reason, but things were no longer under my control… Everyone was staring at us, with their jaws reaching the grounds, but I moved on and took Tej to our room, closing – well maybe even slamming – the doors behind us.
I sensed the atmosphere of the living room just drop as they probably assumed that I was extremely angry but to be honest, I didn't care anymore… Enough was enough…
Tej stood by the door, with his arms crossing his chest… I didn't realize what was overcoming me, as I felt my eyes just mist up with loads of salty tears… As soon as he realized I was crying, he rushed to my side and engulfed me in a hug
Kya hua Toasty? Tum ro kyun rahi ho??
How was I supposed to reply to his question when I myself was oblivious to the reason?
Mujhe tumse baat karni hai Tej!! As I still continued crying
Arrey!! Isme roni ki kya baat hai? Chalo stop crying… Ab bolo, kya hua??
As shocking as it sounds – and off too – I stopped crying within a matter of seconds, as another smile crept onto my face
Yeh Toasty ko bhi kya ho raha hai? Abhi 2 second pehle woh roh rahi thi, aur ab?
I've been experiencing morning sickness Tej!! I had spoken with a smile on my face, excitement visible to the bare eye
Toh isme khush hone ki kya baat hai? Tum bhi naa Toasty… Acid reflux ho gaya hoga.. Just take some antacid tablets!
Tej bhi naa… Acid reflux my foot!!
I get tired very easily! Almost lethargic!
Toasty. Ab pure din tum pehelwaan ki tarha kaam karti rahogi toh thakaan aayegi hi na?
Kiss insaan se maine shaadi ki!!!!!!
Mujhe ghussa aa raha hai!!
What's wrong with you Toasty!! Pehle rona, phir sudden khushi, aur ab ghussa? Is it that time of the month?
I face-palmed myself…
Iss idiot ko kitne clues dene padege? Mood swings ke baare mein bhi kuch nahi jaanta
Tejprakash Chaturvedi!! I spoke rigidly Mujhe abhi ke abhi duud (milk) peena hai!
Toh main abhi le aata hu!
Tej was retreating towards the door, but stopped in his tracks… Toasty ko toh duud zara bhi pasand nahi
Are you sure Toasty? Tumhaari tabiyet toh theek hai na?
That's it… No more
I walked over to where he was, and pushed his shoulders back – that too with quite a bit of roughness… I could tell he was surprised – or no, rather shocked – by my behaviour
I then took his hand, and placed it on my stomach which was now home for a little one
I turned around, and went to the window… Hoping that at least now Tej realizes why I was acting that way… He was really testing my patience now… I don't know how I even fell for this guy
I felt him walk towards me, and turn me around
Really? He asked very softly… His eyes were misting, and right there and then, I re-recognized why I had fallen for him
I nodded in response, and hugged him tight as my eyes misted as well
Toh seedhe seedhe batadena tha naa! He complained – while fighting against his tears of happiness
Next time yaad rakhungi!
He smiled in response, as we kissed…
He then ran outside the room with extreme excitement and joy, as he announced the "khush khabri" to all
I laughed to my heart's content, with tears of happiness rolling down my cheeks
Tej came back to me – panting hard
I love you Toasty!!!
I love you too, My Buddhu Ram!!
