Part-21
Dev was standing in his room, holding onto his study chair. Trying to understand his own feelings.. but then his mom's raised eyebrows flashed in his mind.. 'oh my.. did she saw me staring at Radhika' ... no no.. I was not staring.. I was just looking at downstairs'ya ya, I was just looking down, '.. that was it.. but then, did mom had a tease smile on her face.. no no she didn't had.. he tried to convince self.
Dev: come on yaar, let's go to my room..
After dinner, they all were talking casually. Dev went to his room. Surender was talking with Mohan on phone and then he handed that to Radhika with a smile..
Mohan: so is there anything special tomorrow at college'
Radhika: no Babuji' but why?
Mohan: no, I am asking any test, lab, or anything that you may miss..
Radhika: no Babuji.. actually I will be free by afternoon, I thought of calling home to send the car early..
Mohan: ok then, get ready fast,.. I am coming to pick you up..
Radhika jumping on her feet..: what!!!!
Mohan with a smile: ha beta, go get ready fast..
Radhika: but where are you..
Mohan: do what I say now dear, otherwise we may get late..
Radhika: ok, two minutes, I will be ready..
She gave the phone back to Surender.. and then looking at Suchi; Suchi Mom, babuji coming, I am leaving today to Chandenpur..
Lechu: what?
Radhika: ha, babuji said he will be here soon and asked me to get ready fast..
Lechu: won't you miss your class tomorrow..
Radhika: no, I don't have anything specific..
Suchi: ok Beta, go and get ready quick then..
she ran into her room...
Surender was smiling seeing Radhika's joy..
Radhika quickly changed her dress to a sky blue color churidar and she took her small bag. She wore the same chain that Birju gifted her.
Dev in confusion: When did Mohan uncle came, nobody told me..
Radhika throwed the bag on the floor and went and hugged her dad like a small baby as Mohan stood up with spreading his arms out..
Mohan: how are you dear..?
Radhika just nodded her head with an ear to ear smile..
Suchi: no need to ask, just look at her face, it says her state of mind.
Mohan laughed loud.. Radhika was unable to speak anything as her heart was pounding hard with joy'.. and her eyes were almost watering unable to contain the happiness seeing her dad in front of her eyes.. Mohan was tapping on her upper back feeling her so near, still holding her close to him from the side'
Surender looked up and found Dev standing there looking at everyone.. he waved his hands and Dev came down.. dev looked at everyone puzzled..
Mohan looking at Dev: how are you beta..
Then leaving Radhika's grip he went near and gave Deva shake hand..
Dev: I am doing fine. I was not knowing that you are coming, I am sorry..
Mohan with a smile, sitting back on the sofa: it was quick plan. My work finished and thought to pick her up also, anyway she needs to come tomorrow..
Suchi: Radhika, did you take your books..
Radhika nodded her head..
Mohan: I don't know why she is carrying all these books. Last time also she broght the books and I never seen her opening it up.. The minute sun raise in Chandenpur, Radhika kept the hosue lively.. we are missing her voice '.. so even more than her, we are waiting for this weekends..
Surender: ya,now it is ok.. but I think once she starts on her project things and all, I don't know how often it will happen.. then there will be days they conduct special classes on late Fridays and sometimes Saturdays' .. they take advantage of this initial time and at the end everything will be in a hurry..
Mohan: but for now it is Ok na..
Suchi: ha', I think she is doing fine' so..
Mohan: so let's go..
Lechu showed her disappointment.. Radhika gave her a hug.. Dev was just listening to their talk passively'
They moved towards the car'
Surender: call us back when you reach there..
Mohan: it will be too late, its already near to 10. So
Surender: why don't you just sleep here tonight and start early in the morning.
Mohan: oh no no.. I have so many things already planned for tomorrow.. so
Surender: I know.. but still..
Radhika: Papa, don't I will make the call.. tomorrow early morning..
Mohan: aa haa.. and the early morning is whenever she gets up..
They laughed and Mohan and Radhika sat in car and they waved their hands in general..
Suchi: To see the real happiness in Radhika's face, one should talk about Chandenpur or take her to Chandenpur.'
Lechu was holding onto Surender's upper arm.; Surender: ha.. all the girls are same..
Suchi: Dev, do you have anything specific tomorrow..
Dev: no mom.. small shopping for camping, but I will do on our way..
Lechu: why only Bro.
Suchi: that's because he is leaving soon, right.. we can go there at any time na..
Lechu: I will also go..
Surender: Ha lechu, we all will go.. let see.
Lechu: that's my lovely dad..
Suchi: um..um..
Days passed by.. Monday came quickly for Radhika..
Heena: Radhika, you don't know last Friday how many came enquiring about you..
Radhika: about me? Why?
Heena with a surpise tone: did you forgot already? Dev's issue..
Radhika: oh ya.. actually I totally forgot about it.. so what happened?
Heena; nothing yaar, few came and asked why you didn't come..
Radhika: so no crazy things happened?
Heena: muhum'
Rahdika: good.. then with a thought , I was planning to give them his cell number, so that they can enquire everything directly. and i can sit peacefully.
Heena: why? Did he agree with that?
Radhika: actually I don't know his cell number, I thought of asking Lechu later, but then my dad came and I left to chendenpur..
Heena: but why his cell number..
Radhika: then they won't bother me na..
Heena: no don't do that Radhika.. just ignore, or say something for time sake.. after few days, you will see the same people start praising the new captain or a new player.. so its all few days of craziness.. But I tell you he is a true hero who never crossed his limits and I really appreciate him for that..
Radhika: what do you mean?
Heena: I mean, he is not like few who just drool over all those who just praise them and you know kind of taking advantage of the situation.. even without being all that we can see few just go behind girls. Just look at the corridor during our break time, you can see many like that..
Hello', how are you girls..?
The voice diverted their attention and look ed at the voice side'.. Found a handsome guy standing with two others, smiling at them
He extended his arm out for shaking hands..: I am Arjun..
Heena and Radhika looked at each other'.. in confusion..
Arjun came more closer and sat in front seat: why in doubt? Same class yaar..
Heena and Radhika tried to smile.. and said "hi"
Arjun: so you are Heena. Heena looked at him surprisingly..
Arjun: don't get surprised. I know you from the degree days.. we were in different batch..
Heena: oh ya.. and they talked about their degree time.. Rahdika just listened to Heena's talk.. In between Arjun's eyes were falling on Radhika's eyes.. her face'.. he was noting her from the first day of their college.. but didn't get any chance to come near.. and now he knows more about Heena so took the advantage..
The lecturer came and they all sat back in their respective place. Arjun preferred sitting at the back bench with his friends..
Lunch break few seniors came to ask about Dev.. Radhika gave vague answeres.. Arjun noted that..
He made sure he talk mostly with Heena only.. He mentioned his plan to join the college cricket team and his interest in sports.. Rahdika was least giving any interest in that.. So he realized she is not into sports.. but he needs to prove himself to get her attention.. he thought to himself..
As the college disperced
Arjun: this is the only thing I am not getting.. why can't she live in some hostel.. why her house needs to be this close'.. um.. time is there, oneday I will drop her at her house,' he put his goggles back on and raised the engine sound of his new bike.'
'.
Back in her room, Rahdika was combing her hair, thinking about her home.. she was in a trance.. lechu came in running with happiness..
Lechu: Deedi, come I will show you, we finished the steps.. you should see.. actually I want you to be here on weekend, so that you can come with me to my friends house.. but I know you are missing your family.
Radhka smiled and she went with Lechu to her room and they closed the door.. Radhika helped her on how to improve her steps..'
Suchi came late that evening. So she asked : did Dev called?
Lechu: I don't think so.. we didn't hear the phone ringing..
Suchi: ok then let me try to call him first..
Suchi dialed his cell number but did not get any response back'... "may be he is driving or something.." saying that she kept the receiver back..
Lechu looking at Radhika: he left Saturday with his friends .. camping'.. that's what they were planning for last one week.. they will be back only on Wednesday.. I sometimes feel jealous..
Suchi: why jealous, you are getting time to enjoy with your friends too, right?
Lechu : ha but..
Suchi: ok, come lets have dinner.. he may call us later'
Radhika: So when Papa will be back..
Suchi: tomorrow..'
After dinner they were chitchatting. Suchi went to her room to get something. Lechu was into TV watching a comedy series. The phone started ringing..
Suchi from the room; lechu , pick the phone. Check who is it? Am coming..
Lechu didn't even pay attention.. she adjested herself more to listen to TV
Suchi: Lechuuuuuuuu.
'I can check mom.." saying that Radhika went ot pick up the phone..
The second she kept the receiver on her shoulder sha heard.. "muhhhhhhaaaaa, sorry sorry sorry .. I saw the missed call.. I really had a fun day, and missed the phone here.. so sorry'.. dev's exciting voice was going on loud..
"hello hello hello'... stop stop stop'.. and wait a second' hearing Radhika's voice Dev stunned..
Dev: mom, sorry mom, the cell.."
Suchi: that's ok Dev' so how is your time going '.. they kept on talking for sometimes..
Suchi came and sat near the girls.. Suchi was thinking Radhika's expression when she took the phone from her. She was very cool while talking and asking him to stop and along with that she gave him a dose too.. she tried to smile inside.. but then at the same time she thought what is her feelings towards him.. because few times she caught Dev looking or cornering his eyes on Radhika, but so far Radhika acted very normal and mostly she is preoccupied by her Chandenpur trip and nothing else.. when the talks comes about her face beam up but otherwise she is quiet.
Dev was laying on his back, looking at the clear sky above.. it was way past midnight.. he is having great fun with his friends.. he was thinking after this we all may disperse into new path. Few joining jobs here in India. Few have plan to fly to abroad soon. Even his one close frined is going to get marry soon. That may be the final occation they all meet together.. Ramesh and him is the only two who are dreaming about receiving the certificate from the SF university,' actually it is me who made Ramesh to dream the same, so now our scholarship got approved and we are nearing to our goal,' he liked to count the stars upon that clear sky. '
........................................
Radhika came back from college little early.. she got fresh and was in a good mood. She went out and walked along the garden side. She looked at the fully bloomed rose floweres.. she touched the red colored petals.. she loved looking at it.. she grabbed the whole beauty of it into her mind.. she gave a kiss at the soft petals and ran into her room.. she took her drawing paper out.. and sharpened her penscils.. she started outlining it.. slowly slowly she totally got into it.. Her mind was seeing the smiley flower.. and the ready to bloom bud near to it.. she thought how excited the bud may be to see the outside world.. .. suddenly something flashed in her mind, she went and looked putside at the flower.. she looked hard but couldn't find a butterfly nearby,' she sat there near the window, imagining the greenery of her land', the wild floweres on the path and the small and large butterflies, moth, bees, and small other flies around the small and medium size floweres,' her eyes were seeing the scene in front of her.. the butterfly just flapping its light feathers near the flower, and trying to balance to get to the center and then trying hard to suck the nectar from it', and then with a new energy it just flew away to the next.. did it not satisfied, why it has to go to the next.. she was totally unaware of the eyes on her work', her eyes were still focused on that red rose in the pot, but she was seeing the butterflies around it from within her mind'
"Radhika.. Really beautifull'
Radhika jerked and turned her head.. she found Suchi standing next to her..
"Suchi Mom..? when did you come?' Radhika asked surprisingly
Suchi: long back.. But didn't see you around, so came to check on you and found you sitting with this pencil ' and then surprisingly this beautiful flower from my garden poped up here..
Radhika: I simply tried..
Suchi: no, it is a beautiful work.. if you can add the color to it, then it will exactly look like a photocopy of that original one..
Radhika: you really like it..
Suchi: ha Ofcourse, and also if you want to buy any material to draw more pictures , we can get it..
Radhika: no Mom, I have everything with me.. I brought everything last time from Chandenpur, only missing my stand.. will get it next time..
Suchi: why you need to get it from there.. we can buy it here beta..
Radhika: no, its Ok..
Suchi: so did you drink something.. I know you didn't.. Come down, we will have tea..
Radhika: ha mom..
They both went down.. Dev showed up at the door.. he kept the bag down and came and hugged his mom from the back and said: how are you Ms. Suchi..
Suchi; hum.. so my son is back..
Radhika just looked at him normally' Son and mother exchanged few words..
Suchi: ok, go fresh up.. I am going to make tea..
Radhika: Suchi Mom, I will make Tea.. you talk with Dev..
Dev: mom, let me fresh up quick and I will be right back.. I need a tea for sure..
Suchi: ok beta..
Radhika got the tea ready.. Phone came from hospital for Suchi..
Suchi: Radhika, I need to go.. I asked driver to pick Lechu from her friend's place. In case if he forget just remind him.. ok..
Radhika: ji..
She closed the door and she thought of the tea..
She picked the tea cup in her hand and went to Dev's room..'
