Thanks a lot for the lovely response.
From this update onwards, I will give English translation to
Hindi lines in brackets.
Part-12
All were busy in their own while three pair of eyes
were seeing them with anger and said,-"Humhe koi hug nhi kar rha. Hum
sabse naraz hai. They were none other than Shradiru. Bala and Mihir hugged them
once but again all seniors got busy with their union making them irritated and
angry. Trio tried to get their attention but failed and finally when no other
option left, they shouted together on top of their voice getting everyone's
attention. Their parents looked at them angrily while they said making a cute
angry face that no one was talking to them. All realized their mistake and said
sorry to them. That's when a south Indian Panditji came out of Iyer house and
said that they are getting late for Pooja.
Then Bala told everyone that there are three Pooja in
all three houses, Iyer house, Bhalla house and third one was beside Bhalla
house which Bala and Mihir bought together. They were searching separate houses
for them near Bhallas and Iyers and luckily that house was on sale. As Mihir
was alone so Bala insisted Mihir to live together like earlier. Firstly Pooja
was in Iyer house and Mr and Mrs Iyer sat in Pooja while Mr and Mrs bhalla in
Bhalla house's Pooja and Bala and Vandu in their house's Pooja. There were only
both families. After that Bala and Mihir showed all three houses to them and
soon all went to their respective houses and rooms after having some sweets and
snacks.
After settling in their rooms, ladies got busy in
preparing lunch for all. All had decided to have lunch together and after a lot
of argument, it was decided that all will have lunch in Bhalla house together
with Punjabi as well as South Indian dishes. Gents gathered in Bhalla house's
hall and were having a good time together while kids were busy in checking
their rooms running from one house to another. At last Shravadiru entered in
Adi's room and after checking it, trio went to balcony and saw it was just
opposite to Ruhi's room. They got happy and noticed that there were three rooms
which were just opposite to one another, they went in other two rooms and
noticed that Ishra rooms and Abhi and Simmi's rooms were also opposite to one
another. Then trio went to garden and played together till they were called for
lunch.
All had their lunch together enjoying after so many
years. After lunch, seniors settled together and talked for some time and then
went to take rest while kids played for some time and then slept while rest
were got busy in preparations of evening party.
In evening, all arrangements were completed. Party
was arranged in their respective gardens separately for Iyers' and Bhallas'
relatives and friends as there were drinks and non-veg dishes in Bhallas'
party. Soon guests started coming and party started. Their old friends from
Delhi were happy to see them back again in Delhi. All enjoyed the party and
soon almost all guests left after having dinner. Few relatives who came from
Chennai and Chandigarh stayed their hotel as it was night. Then both family
continued the party together for some more time. All danced together and had dinner
and finally when all got tired, called off the party. Seniors and kids went
from there and slept while rest got busy in wrapping up everything. All worked
together so that it got completed quickly and then went to sleep.
Next morning all woke up a little late than usual as
all were tired due to last night party. At Bhalla house, all were having their
breakfast when Neil Pathak came there. (Neil's father, Mahesh Pathak was a lawyer
and Mr Bhalla's friend and later Mr Iyer's too. Neil is also a lawyer and helps
in legal issues of both the families. They were in contact with both families
in last few years.) He greeted them and Toshiji called him for breakfast which
he politely denied saying he just came to discuss something important. All
noticed him a little worried and completing their breakfast quickly, all
gathered in hall while Ruhi went to meet Shravadi.
R-Now tell me Neil, what did you want to discuss? Is
there any problem?
Neil was about to say something when Iyers too came
there.
R-You all here?
Bala-Ya, Neil called us urgently.
All looked at Neil for an answer while he was
thinking how to start when Ishita said,
Ishita-What happened Neil? I noticed you last night,
you were looking worried yesterday. What's the matter?
Mrs Bhalla-Puttar jaldi bol. Koi tension ki baat hai?
(Is there any tension?)
Neil-Tension ki baat to hai Auntiji. (Yes auntiji, It's a matter of tension)
Raman-And what's that?
Neil-Bhai vo...actually...
Raman-Fast Neil.
Neil-Shagun and Subbu filed for custody case of Adi and Ruhi
both.
He said making all shocked. All looked at Ishra who didn't
wait for a second but asked immediately to Neil,
Ishra-But it was on my name na?
Both said together and then looked at each other for a
second but again looked at Neil for an answer.
Neil-Yes, You both have Adi and ruhi's custody but they
filed case against it.
Raman-But how can they? That to be after so many years.
Ishita-One second. You said Shagun and Subbu both filed the
case. Dono ne ek sath??
Raman-Ha, she is right. Tell me clearly Neil.
Neil-Bhai, Shagun and subbu are together.
Bala-Means?
Neil-Shagun and subbu are married from past 4 years.
All got shocked but it was not that important and composed
themselves to know the whole matter.
Raman-How did both of them suddenly get remembered of
Adi and Rohi? There is definitely something Neil. Do you know anything?)Neil-No Bhai, right now I don't know anything but don'tworry, I will find it out very soon and...
He was saying when Mihir interrupted,
Mihir-But how did you get to know all this? We didn't get
any notice till now.
Neil-Yes actually one of my lawyer friend went to out of
country for some professional work and there he met Shagun and Subbu. They
hired him as their lawyer and as he knew that I'm your family friend so he informed
me. That's why I said that I will find out their truth vary soon. And yes both
of them are coming to India in few days and then they will file the case.
Ishita(with teary eyes)-I don't know Neil what will you do.
Do anything whatever you can but please I don't want them to win. Hamare
bachche humse door nhi hone chahiye. (Our children should not be separated from
us)
Raman-Don't worry Ishita. Aisa kuch nhi hoga. Hamare bachche
hamare sath hi rahege. Koi nhi cheen sakta unhe humse. Aur ha koi bhi bachchon
ke saamne aisi baat nhi karega aur na hi dukhi hoga. Kuch nhi hoga aur unhe in
sabke bare mein nhi pta chalna chahiye. (Nothing will happen like that. No one
can separate them from us. And no one will talk about it in front of kids. They
should not get to know all this.)
Adiru Lekin humhe pta chal gaya. (But we got to know.)
All looked at the door where Shravadiru were standing. All
were thinking if they heard everything or not.
Raman-Kya suna aap logo ne? (What did you hear?)
They came inside. Adiru went to Ishra and signaled them to pick
them. Ishra picked them. Adiru kissed their cheeks and said,
Adi-Vahi
jo abhi Mumma ne aur uncle ne kaha ki koi humko aapse door karna chahta hai. (That is what Mumma and uncle have said that someone wants to separate us
from you)
Ruhi-Par aap tension mat lo. Hum aapse kabhi door nhi
jaayenge. (But you don't worry. We will never go leave you.)
Adi-Hum Murugan se pray karenge ki vo humhe aapse alag na
kare. (We will pray to god.)
Ruhi-Main Matarani se.(Me too.)
Adi-Thik hai.(ok)
Ishra eyes got filled with the mere thought of separation
from their kids. Adiru saw it and said wiping it.
Adiru-Budhu aise rote nhi. Aap hi to kahte ho ki bhagwan ji
bachchon ki bat jaroor sunte hai. To hamari prayer bhi vo jaroor sunenge. ((Don't
cry. You only say that god does listen to kids. So he will definitely listen to
our prayers.)
They said and Adi hugged Ishita while Ruhi hugged Raman by
their neck kissing their cheeks once again. All smiled with teary eyes while
Ishita too hugged them tight like saving them from the upcoming storm...
That's all for now. Hope it was not boring. Waiting for your
reviews and suggestions.
Precap-Ishra face to face meeting to Shabbu after many years
and whole past story.
