Part 6
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Swadheenta and Adarsh went to the nearest coffee house to the court.Swadheent hadalmost eaten nthing all day since she had emergency in the morning at the N.G.O and she had suddenly got a painful reminder that she had not taken her medicines.Swadheenta decided to have something as "Late Lunch"or Asad will eat her head all evening.than after that she had meeting with Suhasini Mam and SWadheenta had some questions for her boss as well.She didn't know how she would ask her boss if she knew that her son had been asking her out for coffee and today they both had coffee ππ.The car ride had been talkative.She and Adarsh talked about current politics and elections which gave her the vibes that Adarsh was more on parallel lines on thoughts with her.She and Adarsh ordered their repective coffees and continued with their chat.
Adarsh (smiling)-So law...you have any lawyers in family ?
Swadheenta-Nope.Appa is professor of law.I am the only one who practices.What about you ? Straight into foot steps of your father ?
Aadarsh (laughing sarcastically)-No No !! Me and dad are north and South.If somebody removed my surname nobody would even come to know that I am his son.We have different views regarding the system which usually ends up in arguments...
Swadheenta-Ouch !
Adarsh-Yep.Mom said you live with your relatives here...
Swadheenta (smiles)-Yes.they used to be our neighbors when I was little so yes same family I would suggest.Appa would never allow me to live alone in Delhi...
Adarsh-Well this city has built it's reputation and media doesn't help either.
Swadheenta suddenly smiled ...
Adarsh-Why are you smiling like this ? This type of smile usually suggests that they are right and I am wrong...
Swadheenta (explaining)-I am not saying that you are completely wrong Adarsh but even they are not completely wrong.You saw what happened with that girl yesterday.And it is not isolated incident.Even in this profession everyday when I climb the stair cases of High Court my fellow lawyers think like "What is a girl doing in law and that too practicing" ??
Adarsh (shocking)-Wow !!
Swadheenta-Ask mam.She will tell you everything.The only reason people don't look at her like that is because she is the top lawyer in this country so man has guts to question like that...So the media might not be completely wrong in this...
Adarsh-Why did you get into this field Swadheenta ??
Swadheenta-I never got into this field for money Adarsh.That is the least important stuff to me.Out system is such that the person who really wants a lawyer cannot afford it at all.Yes I work for Suhasini Mam but I would also like to work for people who are in real need of lawyers...
Adarsh (coughing)-Like Prakash Jadhav ??
Swadheenta-Yes certainly like him.I had nothing against Mr.Ahuja but it was his work which landed all of us in that place...
Adarsh-Mom is still angry with him.But Simmi is happy to have a friend in you.
Swadheenta (smiling)-She is very sweet and innocent girl...
I think we should leave,I still have to get back at office and even you might have too.
Adarsh-You want lift ??
Swadheenta (smiling)-Nope I will take a cab.We have to go in opposite directions.it was nice coffee.
Adarsh (charmingly)-I told you.Mujhe Na ko Haa mei badlna aata hai...
Swadheenta (innocently)-Who told you it was a date Mr Adarsh Sinha π.
Adarsh-You might be a lawyer but I am a lawyer's son Swadheenta.The fact that you agreed for coffee proves that I may have a chance...
Swadheenta-We will see.
Swadheenta was thinking about her coffee with Adarsh.It had been years since she had met someone with sound thinking.Adarsh turned out to be very nice guy.Who knew that "Don't judge book by it's cover" turned out to be true.π.But would she take it any further than it was right now.How will Suhasini Mam react if she ever came to know about it ?Swadheenta was highly confused.On one hand she had started to like Adarsh but on the other she like her job too...
On the other hand...
Adarsh (smiling)(On speaker)-Mom it went great...But can I know what exactly do you think of Swadheenta ??
Suhasini (frankly)-She is a lovely girl Adarsh.She is understanding ,mature, independent, educated,from a educated family and would be a perfect fit for our family.I am happy with your choice.
Adarsh (smiling)-You are sure right ??
Suhasini (smiling)-Adarsh I like her very much and would be very happy if she became a part of our family.Adarsh I have made mistakes with Abhay and Jaidev.I am just too careful with you.And I know that there will be no mistakes this time.
Adarsh-Mom you didn't do any mistake with Jaidev Bhaiyya...or Abhay..
Suhasini-Jaidev was in love with somebody else Adarsh and I didn't approve of the girl so he chose to marry Jaya and Abhay well in his case too I didn't approve the family but he chose to elope so you know for you I wanted a girl whom you and both would love...That is also one of the reasons I sided with you when you chose to reject Vanshika Bundela's alliance.
Adarsh (assuring her)-Mom if Jaidev Bhaiyya had really loved that girl he would have fought for his love,I am not saying that eloping is good option but there are ways to stand by the person you love and if you think that the person is fully deserving of your support...What about rest of family ?
Suhasini-Ok Let's see.Jaya has become very good friends with her,Manohar is very happy,Simmi too has become Swadheenta's friend and your brothers already are happy with your choice so it's green signal whever you give it to us.
Adarsh (shocking)-Wait Dad is happy with something that I chose ? That's a first...
Suhasini -Not Funny Mr Robinhood !!
Adarsh-Mom please not you even.I will talk to you later have reached the office.
Suhasini-Ok
Suhasini felt relieved seeing Adarsh happy.Her son had chosen a right girl that was for sure.Right for him and right for the family as well.But Adarsh had also told her that Swadheenta was hesitant to take anything forward also due to the fact that he was her son.Suhasini knew that this was the right time to talk to Swadheenta about everything but should she talk to her parents first or should she give some time to both of them.She saw Swadheenta coming towards her cabin and decided to talk to her first and let her know that she had no problems about her and Adarsh.
Swadheenta (knocks)-Can I come in Mam ?
Suhasini (happily)-Come in Swadheenta.Have a seat and congratulations for the case.You did well.
Swadheenta-Thank You Mam.But it was you taught me to have Plan B.Over dependency and reliancy on one thing surely gets things messy.
Suahsini-Swadheenta I wanted to apologize from Adarsh' s behalf.He was just worried about the man that's all.
Swadheenta (smiles)-It's ok Mam.He himself apologized.It's all behind both of us.Mam I wanted to ask you something...it's uh personal...Mam did you know that ...uh Adarsh...
Suhasini (smiling)-Asked you for coffee ?? or that he is seriously interested ?Yes I knew about it.
Swadheenta (shocked)-Mam uh...
Suhasini (smiling)-Swadheenta you and Adarsh are two grown ups.If both of you feel that you guys are good for another than why would I have any problem ? And you said that day that your parents are understanding and left certain choices to you...So you can relax.if you choose to date my son it's not going to cost you your job.
Swadheenta was still shocked when she left from the office.Was her boss for real or was something else cooking up in her head ? Amma and Appa were coming tomorrow.They were scheduled to come next week but they suddenly decided to come tomorrow.What had happened ? Swadheenta got worried if Asad had leaked something about her injury tha maybe her Amma would catch the next flight.Swadheenta was getting bit groggy due to the medicines and decided to go home and sleep first and than she would think with clear mind.Only if she knew that loads of things were happeningπ.
Gilani's House----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Zubaida (happily)-Kya aap sach keh rahe hai ?
Haider-Arre ha baba.Kal Suhasini ji ka phone aaya tha.Woh Bhai sahib aur Revathi se milna chahte the Swadheenta ke bare.par Zubaida abhi Asad ko kuch mat batana.Warna who Swwadheenta ko bata dega sab kuch.
Zubaida (Getting confused)-haiderji mere samajh mei kuch aa nahi raha hai.Aap keh kya rahe hai ?
Haider-Arre Bhai Adarsh ne Shraddha ke sangeet mei Swadheenta ko dekha tha.Pehli baar mei pasand aa gayi use.par aap toh Swadheenta ko jaanti hai na.Adarsh ne coffee ke liye kaha toh mana kar diya.Suhasini ji aur aur unke poore family ko Swadheenta bahut pasand he par pehle Suhasini ji aur Manohar ji Ramakrishnan Bhai sahib aur Revathi se ek baar milne chahti hai.
In dono mei se kisi ko koi jaldi nahi hai.Adarsh ko toh pehle se hi Swadheenta bahut pasand aa gayi hai.Par Swadheenta aabhi bhi thoda aap jaanti hai na use.bahut practical kisam ki beti hai hamari.π.in dono ko waqt ki zaroorat hai.Bas itni si baat.
Zubaida-Theek hai mai Swadheenta ya Asad dono mei se kisi ko kuch bhi bataogi.Aap chinta mat kijye.Par Bhai sahib...
Haider (Assuring her)-Meri baat ho gayi he unse.
Swadheenta (tiredly)-mami mai sone ja rahi hu.Bahut thak gayi hu aur bahut neend aa rahi hai.Medicine li hai na maine.
haider-Aare par beta dinner ?
Swadheenta-Nai Mamu maine bahut late lunch kiya tha.Aur waise bhi kal Sunday hai.mami please jagana mat mujhe ye davai bahut drowsiness lati hai.
Zubaida-Theek hai beta jaa tu soo jaa
Swadheenta slept instantly but Adarsh was feeling sleeplessness.Something was happening to him.He was seeing her everywhere.Especially after that coffee.date.He had started adore her more.He had seen different shades of Swadheenta Ramakrishnan.Strict one at sangeet,helpful one yesterday night,friendly one at coffee and ofcourse the confident lawyer in the courtroom.She was a complex person more complex than him perhaps.But what was happening to him was some weird biology ππ.
Adarsh swore he had seen Swadheenta stnding in his cabin while talking to Suraj.He had started seeing her everywhere.Wait was he falling in love with Swadheenta...He had to talk to the person who knew most about love---------Chotu...π.
