 Part-61 

Time was passing by. The men group sitting on sofa and chair started moving their conversation from marriage, to politics and upcoming election... they  could easily hear the ladies giggles from inside too. Tiime was ticking by. Dev was sitting at the corner of the couch,  passively listening to the men's group..  mostly all looked very energetic. Dev yawned once'..  he tried to hide his tiredness.   In between the talk Surender saw his son, covering his mouth... then it flashed his mind, that he still not back to the normal Indian time.. ..

He went and checked with Suchi and told her about  Dev's tiredness.  Suchi asked for 10more minutes and went inside.   Listening to mom's request

Lechu: Mom , that is not fair, daadi and me are planning something very interesting..

Suchi: I know beta, but he is really tired.. by the time you plan, he may sleep on that couch itself.. that is the condition..

Lechu sat  there with her childish face..

Sushma: don't worry Lechu, we can play something tomorrow, today let leave him  alone..'

Lechu: whatever..'

  Slowly the ladies came down to join the men group. Suchi went  and tapped on Dev's shoulder and he looked at her. Suchi signaled him to follow her, as she didn't want to distub the political talk of the group. Dev looked at his dad and took his permission silently and walked along with his mom..

Dev: It's ok Mom', I am fine..

Suchi looking at his face:  You don't need to admit but your face telling it all.. Lechu is not happy.. I think she was planning for something and now it got spoiled..

Dev smiled inside hearing this, but kept his tiredness on his face..

Listening to their talk Lechu who was standing near the door: are you really tired ?

Dev jerked and looked at Lechu's  heavy face',to comfort her he said: Lechu,  if you want to play around, go ahead, I will go sleep in  mom's room, or on that couch, i don't care.. with the most innocent face possible..'

Lechu dropped her jaw: what?

Dev with all his tiredness: I am Ok with anything, just need my head to hit on something..

Lechu: Bro, you sound really tired.. I am sorry..  Don't worry Di is in room', now go.. she came behind and started pushing him on his back.. Dev moved with her force and Suchi started smiling seeing her change of  mood..

Lechu paused with her parted lips..

Suchi: come Lechu..

Lechu: mom, Bro was cheating..

Suchi: what?

Lechu: I  saw him Mom.. he winked at me..

Suchi: Lechu,. He is really tired..  saying that she pulled on Lechu's wrist..

Lechu: no mom.. I saw him', he actually played prang on all of us..

Suchi: LECHU'.. he is really tired' ,come now..

Lechu stamping her feet on the floor loud walked down quickly'. Suchi just smiled seeing her reaction..

*****

Dev paused for a second after putting the latch on'.. and then slowly turned '...  he saw a complete change of his room before he left there.' the floral decoration not only added to the beauty but also gave nice fragrance to the surrounding..  he saw his bride standing near the window, still has that ghooghant on, but her head was raised up to look at the sky and her one hand was held near her heart, as if she is still counting her each beat.  He took his steps towards her, as he neared he saw her head bowing down as if feeling his presence, he stood behind her..pausing himself for few seconds, he touched her shoulder, he felt the jerk.. but then he slowly turned her to face him..

His mind was clear and light but his heart was not listening to him to slow it down' slowly he held the edges of her ghooghant and then with his most curious enthusiastic face, he lifted it up, to see her face, to meet her eyes'.  He saw his bride's face with the siddor on her maang ,  her closed lids..  he tried to read her face.. he felt like she is so nervous to open up those  flap to see him in front of her.. he remembered her lines..  he saw her hands still holding onto her heart...'.

With the softest loveliest tone he called..:  Radhikaaaaa''..   he saw her eyeballs moving corner to corner inside'...  "ab tho ankhem kholo, I am standing in front of your eyes.."

 And then moved his hand to hold her hand which was counting that heartbeats and slowly brought them down'.... Radhika as if weakening her own strength just followed his words and his action.. 

With the shivering of her lips, she slowly opened up her eyelids'...  her eyes met his lovely look'..... time was ticking by.. but they stood reading the unspoken words of pain of separation.  He saw the tears rolling up under her lower lids'... and it just escaped its way through,  down to her cheeks, soaking her heart with its coldness...' but still her eyes didn't blink once for  darkness to take his image away ..' 

Slowly his hand raised up and  wiped of those trail of wetness and then extending his both arm out, he wrapped them around her at the shoulder level. His bride just moved into that force and rested her head on his chest holding onto his upper torso ,  he slowly closed his eyes to feel her, so close.. and she  listened to his faster heart beat this time. Time passed by...'

Finally he spoke, still closing his eyes..

Dev: say something Radhika'... you kept quiet for long time.. I am thirsting to hear your voice'.... Please..

Dev with a smile opened his eyes and then moved her slightly back and looked at her face:  and what about me? I was in the same court as you..

Radhika: don't say that now.. you said you will be back in six months and now..

Dev with a smile: now you are with me..

Radhika: but..

Dev holding her hand  forced her to walk with him and he made her to sit at the edge of the bed' and then sitting near her he said: there is no but..  now you are with me, only because I didn't come after six months. If I would have come, then you will be sitting in your chandenpur and I will be roaming on Delhi roads knocking on different office doors for a job.. will they care about my need for that job? Will they know my Radhika is waiting for me and I need a job to bring her into my life', you tell me..

Radhika with a thinking: um', may be you are right..

Dev reaffirming his words: its not maybe, it is the truth..

Radhika tried to bring a smile...'

Dev: Radhika.. now smile wide, don't show that kanjusi..  after all I waited this long for that only'.. and only with the expectation of seeing that smile on your face..'

Radhika: did babuji and all left?

Dev taking her hand in his: no, they are in the middle of politics and upcoming election..  with the look I think they may decide on who will win, and who all will be the next ministers and  then who will be the best candidate for prime-minister..

Radhika giggled again hearing his talk..

Dev: how they think of me in that situation..

Radhika: then how they let you go..

Dev with a teasy smile: I used my weapon..

Radhika raising her brows: weapon?

Dev: ha, I yawned few times ,very hard, as I saw dad's eyes falling on my side.. then I saw him walking inside,  soon I expected mom out and I was right, she brought me up here..

Radhika: and Lechu? She was planning on something.

Dev: I know, she warned me at the mandap, so I also took the precaution then itself...'  so now she is sitting with them showing her heavy face .. but that's ok.. she will be fine tomorrow..

Radhika: poor Lechu..

Dev: then what about me?

Radhika smiled again..'.

Dev looking around..  : do you like this decoration..

Radhika looked around and smiled'.

Dev : Radhika it is true that I showed up my tiredness over there, but I am really tired , not to that extend though..'  

Radhika: then you take rest...'

Dev with a smile: remember, all this time, you were sending me to my bed and I was sending you to your bed.. but today onwards it is our bed, now nothing can separate us.. so only I made you to wait Radhika..'

Radhika didn't say anything' ...slowly her gaze lowered..  

He went and sat at the head end, keeping his legs straight and resting his head back onto the headrest..    adjusting himself on a comfortable position he looked at her. Radhika realizing the look, with a shy smile lifted her legs and slide in and moved towards the head end.. she saw the winning smile of her husband as she moved more closer to him'she adjusted self, keeping her legs straight.. and struggled to look back at him.. but then she saw him moving.. he brought his upper body more to the front to face her.. and then lifting her face up he said: you really look very beautiful in this dress,  Radhika,'  you dressed up today just for me , right?

Radhika looked into his eyes said in mind: what you know.. I was dressing up every day with a hope that I may see you soon, you may come and stand in front of me at any time..   that magic may happen..  that did happen late, very late  ,  and  finally you came, to take me away with you...'

Dev moving his eyeballs on her face: did you say something..

Radhika just smiled and lowered her eyes..'

Dev: you know, when I was getting ready what mom, buava and Lechu was saying..

Radhika looked at him..

Dev: that you will be the most beautiful bride in the whole world today'.. and they are right,'

Radhika lowered her gaze again shyly..

Dev: is it too heavy..

Radhika: its ok..

Radhika looked at him with tightening her forehead',as if why he is asking that at this time.. don't he know?

Dev:  I know you did, me too Radhika.. it was really hard to leave last time.. but now I am so happy, may be that separation brought this much happiness in my life', that separation brought you more closer to me..'

Radhika smiled again..'

Dev rested his back again onto the headrest and slowly holding her shoulder pulled her towards him'... Radhika's weaker body moved along with his direction, he wrapped his left arm around her shoulder and held her closer and rested his chin over her head.. and then loosely brought his right arm around and took her in his side embrace...'

Dev: ha Radhika.. I was dreaming of this day, when I hold you this close to me.. you stopped sending me mails, you stopped talking to me.. you know how hurting it was. I know you also likes to talk to me, you also love to hear my voice as much as I do,' but then one day you decided to keep your silence, why Radhika..?when you love me this much,  how you were able to keep that silence? How you were able to control those words within you..

He felt her shoulder moving slightly up, he listened and heard her softly sneezing up , trying to control that sound to come out..

He loosening his grip, moved back and looked at her face, and found the trail of tears , as if she was listening to all this talk with that pain.. but as he looked into her eyes, she tried hard to smile..

Dev trying to read her eyes : how could you Radhika?   That day also you did the same.. I didn't mean to hurt you Radhika.. I was just telling my heart out, telling you that I missed you so much..and how happy I am feeling at this moment..

Dev again pulled on her shoulder and brought her more closer this time, very close to his heart and then kept his silence..'

Radhika in mind, listening to his heartbeat' you had all that emails and photos to check for..  but for me, just a sorry note and your reasoning for not sending mail or not coming online.. it was all about your busy work '...  for me, it was just those memories to hold on that  time you spend with me.... all that talk to remember..  

Dev: Radhika.. say something na.. please..

Radhika tried to smile and to bring the cheer: did you see my friends today..

Dev: um'... tell you frankly I didn't recognize anyone, except Heena.. but I know they are your few friends , so I talked to them..'

Radhika: you know, what Heena told today?

Dev: what?

Radhika: she was telling me to peek at you when you were talking to our friends and she was telling me that you are a true hero..

Dev: hero?

Radhika with a giggle: um.. that's what she always say and adrees you as "true hero'

Dev: but now it's all gone na', new people are around..

Radhika: but still, few will lose the charm as they move forward in life with their doings, but few even if they don't come on picture all the time, will remain a true hero all the time..

Dev: oh Really.. that is good to know.. so what  you think of it?

Radhika: you are always my hero..

Dev: ha.. then only you made that drama the first day, right?

Radhika: are you still  remembering that?

Dev: what else to  remember.. I was just thinking why I didn't  listen to my own heart at  that time...'

Radhika: what?

Dev with a smile: kuch nahi..    Radhika, ek bath bethavum?

Radhika: bethavona..

Dev with a smile: I saw you,  on your haldi day..

Radhika: I know..

Dev: not fair, then why you didn't look at me..

Radhika: mere marzi..

Dev: tell ,me then aur kya kya marzi hei..

Radhika: what?

Dev: nothing.. tell me all  that things that happened after I left?

Radhika with a smile in his embrace started her story from delhi  house, to college, to exam, to back chandenpur'... she was hearing his rhythmic throat response to her story' and then babuji's decision for that temporary post and how angry he got when she disagree with it.. but then it also went fine.. it was just for two months, right next day I heard you are coming'..  but let me ask you, why you did agree with babuji to send me for that job? Don't you know, I never ever thought to do that? And here babuji has your support, and you have babuji's support.. tell me frankly why did you tell me that you are afraid of him.. it's a lie., right?  

 She waited for the response, but did't hear anything, but instead she heard the snore!!' her forehead tightened and she lifted her head up to see his eyes and found him sleeping comfortably, holding onto her shoulder..'

Radhika mumbled: he was sleeping all this time, and I thought he was listening to me.. and moreover he was snoring, and I was thinking he is'. her lips parted with that thought,   blood drained to her face ..

 She with a smile, lay down parallel to him' ...she looked at his sleepy face again, she brought her hand over her face side and rested her cheek over it.. she smiled seeing his face so close.. remembering his words , how he missed her'

 She smiled again looking at his face'..   she looked at his head.. she saw the thick hair'.. um.. military cut' ...she tried to stroke his hair softly.. um.. I can see the difference.. very mature.. my husband'..  Radhika's Dev'  ... she tried hard to control her giggle with that thought..

 Time was ticking by'... her eyes were still open, looking at her husband's sleepy face..'  trying to study his each facial features and making comments about it self'... a time for herself to see him, with all the freedom, without any shyness, without any restrictions.. she fell into her own world to check on him, making all that comments and facial expressions to describe her thoughts...'.
