~Chaand Ke Paar Chalo~ #2 Part 20 On Page 20

As the sun rays entered their room, they woke up together on feeling the sunshine to welcome the first day in their new house.

Good morning Raman...naye ghar mein ek nayi aur pehli subah Mubarak ho, she happily pecked him as she opened her eyes.

(Good morning Raman...congratulations for a fresh and the first morning in this new house, she happily pecked him as she opened her eyes.)

Congrats to you too...itni khoobsurat raat ke baad yeh pehli subah aur bhi jyada special ho gayi hai, he pulled her closer.

(Congrats to you too...this morning has become even special after the beautiful last night, he pulled her closer.)

Kya kar rahe ho...Chodo ab mujhe...uthna nahi hai kya...nayi subah aayi hai toh saath mein yeh sandes bhi laayi hai ki aapko office aur mujhe hospital jaana hai...chaliye uthiye, she tried to free herself only to be pulled back even tighter.

(What are you doing...leave me now...don't you have to get up...new morning has brought this message along that you have to go to office and I have to leave for hospital...get up now, she tried to free herself only to be pulled back even tighter.)

Abhi nahi...pehle good morning toh wish karne do, he said before gifting himself a good morning in his own style.

(Not now...first let me wish you good morning, he said before gifting himself a good morning in his own style.)

Aap bhi na, she shyly commented before leaving for the kitchen after a small moment of love.

(You are too much, she shyly commented before leaving for the kitchen after a small moment of love.)

Raman aap yeh aloo boil ho jayenge toh gas band kar denge please...main jaldi se ready ho jaati hoon jaake...phir jab tak main breakfast bana dungi utne mein aap ready ho jaana, she asked him for help as he came to the kitchen and rested his head on her shoulder lazily.

(Raman once these potatoes are boiled will you please switch off the flame...I will hurriedly get ready...and then while I will cook you can get ready, she asked him for help as he came to the kitchen and rested his head on her shoulder lazily.)

Kaisi ajeeb aurat ho yaar tum...jis kaam mein main help karna chahta hoon usmein toh karne deti nahi ho...bas yeh aloo ubalne ko keh rahi ho, he taunted in his usual tone.

(What a weird woman you are...you don't let me help you in things I want to...and you are asking me to boil these potatoes, he taunted in his usual tone.)

Main kuch samjhi nahi Raman...kounse kaam mein help karni hai aapko, she spoke while rushing here and there in the kitchen multi-tasking many other things at the same time.

(I didn't get you Raman...in what work do you want to help me, she spoke while rushing here and there in the kitchen multi-tasking many other things at the same time.)

Dekho aloo boil karne mein help karne se acha hai main tumhari ready hone mein help kar dun...you know if I will help you, you will get ready faster...uske baad tumhe aise chote mote kaamon mein meri help chahie hi nahi hogi, he winked naughtily.

(See instead of helping you with these potatoes it is better that I help you in getting ready...you know if I will help you, you will get ready faster...after that you will not even require to ask me for such small helps, he winked naughtily.)

Kya Raman...subah subah chalu...aapka romance ka quota khatam hi nahi hota hai, she folded her hands dramatically.

(What Raman...you started right in the morning...your romance's quota just does not end, she folded her hands dramatically.)

Arre quota khatam kaise hoga...continuous production jo hai, he scratched his lips with his thumb making her go red.

(Arre how the quota will end...there is always a continuous production; he scratched his lips with his thumb making her go red.)

Bahut baatein ho gayi...ab thoda kaam bhi karlo aap...please dekhna na aloo ko...main aati hoon, she started to leave but again stopped as she heard the doorbell ring.

(You talked enough...now do some work as well...please just look after the potatoes...i will come, she started to leave but again stopped as she heard the doorbell ring.)

Raman dekho na koun hai...bell baj rahi hai, she looked at him.

(Raman just check who is it...bell is ringing, she looked at him.)

Tum jaake dekho, he tried show himself busy.

(You go and check, he tried show himself busy.)

Arre Raman samjho na...main kaise jaa sakti hoon, she embarrassedly said.

(Arre Raman understand...how can I go, she embarrassedly said.)

Paeron se aur kaise, he sarcastically answered.

(By walking with your legs obviously, he sarcastically answered.)

Raman I mean maine nightgown pehna hua hai na, she told the reason.

(Raman I mean I am in nightgown, she told the reason.)

Haan toh maine kounsa three piece suit pehna hua hai...main bhi toh night suit mein hoon...jao tum jaake dekho jaldi warna jo bell baja raha hai bechara sochega is ghar mein behre rehte hain, he refused to budge.

(As if I am wearing a three piece suit...even I am in my night suit...go fast and check who it is or else the one who is ringing the bell will think deaf stay here, he refused to budge.)

Fine with me...sochne do jise jo sochna hai, she angrily left for the room making him leave his position and run to the door immediately.

(Fine with me...let him think what he wants too, she angrily left for the room making him leave his position and run to the door immediately.)

Thank you, he said before shutting the door.

Koun tha Raman, she asked from inside the room.

(Who was there Raman, she asked from inside the room.)

Society ka watchman, he replied.

(Society's watchman, he replied.)

Kya keh raha tha, she again asked as she looked at clothes to wear for the day in the closet.

(What he was saying, she again asked as she looked at clothes to wear for the day in the closet.)

Keh raha tha ki abse next days tak har couple ko saath mein shower lena padega, he happily shouted.

(He was saying that now for the next few days all couples will have to shower together, he happily shouted.)

What rubbish Raman...kya bol rahe ho, she came out of the room hearing the shock he gave her.

(What rubbish Raman...what are you saying, she came out of the room hearing the shock he gave her.)

Main kya bolunga...main toh wahi keh raha hoon jo woh kehke gaya, he acted to be innocent.

(What will I say...i am only telling you what he told me, he acted to be innocent.)

Kya bakwas hai yeh...aise koun kehke jaata hai, she could not believe.

(What nonsense is this...who says like this, she could not believe.)

Arre yakeen nahi aa raha toh jaake puch aao us se, he gestured her to go and verify the facts.

(If you don't believe me then go and ask him, he gestured her to go and verify the facts.)

Acha ab main aisi gandi baat puchne jaun watchman se, she irately commented.

(Oh so now I should ask such bad things from watchman, she irately commented.)

Ismein ganda kya hai please explain...maza aayega na, he came closer to her.

(What's bad in it please explain...it will be so much fun, he came closer to her.)

Raman please na...sachi bahut late ho raha hai...thik se batao kya kaha usne...kuch important kaha kya warna phir main jaun ready hone, she sounded serious this time.

(Raman please...it is really getting very late...tell me properly what he said...is there anything important that he said or I should just go and get ready, she sounded serious this time.)

Arre nahi baba kuch important nahi kaha...woh keh raha tha ki next 3-4 days tak paani ki thodi shortage rahegi islie thoda stock karke rakh le aur sambhaal ke use karen hum...neeche notice board pe notice laga hai par kyunki hum naye hain toh woh personally batane aa gaya, he finally explained her.

(No there is nothing important...he was saying that there will be slight water shortage for next 3-4 days so we should stock some water and use the water carefully...the notice is put on the notice board downstairs but since we are new here so he came to inform personally, he finally explained her.)

Oh aisa...thik hai main kuch buckets bharke rakh dungi, she started to leave yet again.

(Oh ok...fine I will fill some buckets of water, she started to leave yet again.)

Arre suno toh, he stopped her.

(Listen to me, he stopped her.)

Kya hua ab, she looked at him again with tired expressions.

(What is it now, she looked at him again with tired expressions.)

Ab jab watchman ne kaha hi hai paani save karne ko toh karte hain...paani save...saath mein ready ho jayenge toh paani kam use hoga...waise bhi main toh pehle hi help offer kar raha tha tumne li hi nahi, he winked once again.

(Now that watchman has asked us to save water then let's do it...let's save water...if we get ready together then there will be less water consumption...anyways I was already offering you help but you didn't accept, he winked once again.)

Raman kya karun main aapka, she angrily grinned her teeth before leaving for the bathroom while he laughed at her expanse.

(Raman what should I do with you, she angrily grinned her teeth before leaving for the bathroom while he laughed at her expanse.)

He always teased her as much as he wanted but at the same time he made sure he genuinely helped her best out of him.

Just not taking care of the boiling potatoes, he even peeled them off while she got ready setting an example of a perfect husband.

And as she entered the kitchen, she didn't forget to thank him with a kiss for the support he always gave her.

By the time he got ready, she prepared breakfast and lunch for both of them. Giggling, teasing each other and after having some loving moments together, they happily left for a long day.

--------------------------------------------------------------

He happily reached his office after dropping her at her hospital and looked around for parking his bike.

Saab wahan aapse milne koi aaya hua hai...kaafi der se wait kar raha hai...maine kaha ki office lobby mein wait karlo toh unhone mana kar diya, he looked in a direction surprised as the office boy told him about someone waiting for him.

(Sir someone has come to meet you and waiting for long...i told her to wait inside office lobby but she refused, he looked in a direction surprised as the office boy told him about someone waiting for him.)

Thik hai tum zara yeh tiffin mere cabin mein rakh dena...main dekhta hoon, he told the office boy and left to see who was waiting for him.

(Fine you just keep this tiffin inside my cabin...i will go and meet, he told the office boy and left to see who was waiting for him.)

Aap yahan, he looked shocked.

(You are here, he looked shocked.)

Haan main, she replied.

(Yes I am here, she replied.)

Kaise aana hua, he asked coldly.

(What brought you here, he asked coldly.)

Shakal dekhni thi, she replied again.

(I wanted to see the face, she replied again.)

Kiski shakal, he asked the obvious.

(Whose face, he asked the obvious.)

Apne bache ki, she almost cried.

(My son's face, she almost cried.)

Kis bache ki baat kar rahi ho aap maa, he spoke.

(Which child are you talking about maa, he spoke.)

Maa bhi kehta hai aur puchta hai kis bache ki baat kar rahi hoon...apne puttar ki...teri Raman, Toshi Ji came closer to her son.

(You address me as Maa and ask me which child at the same time...i want to see my son...you Raman, Toshi Ji came closer to her son.)

Oh meri...woh kya hai na yeh beta bacha puttar yeh sab shabd sunne ki aadat si nahi reh gayi...meri maa ne mujhe chod diya toh koi raha hi nahi jo pyaar se beta kahe mujhe...isilie main thoda sa confuse ho gaya tha...sorry, he indirectly taunted her.

(Oh mine...actually the thing is I am no more used to hear words lie son or kid...my mother left me so there is no one who would address me as son with love...so I got a little confused...sorry, he indirectly taunted her.)

Maa toh apne bache ko kabhi bhi nahi chod paati...bache hi aage nikal jaate hain...maa toh roz pal pal tadapti hai apne bache ke liye, she held her son's hand.

(A mother is never able to leave her children...it is just that children move ahead in life...a mother longs for her child each and every moment, she held her son's hand.)

Haan tabhi maa apne bache ki khabar tak lene ki koshish nahi karti...maa bhale hi pal pal tadapti ho par yeh nahi soch paati ki bacha apni maa ke bina kaise pal guzaar raha hoga, he pulled his hand back.

(Yah right that is why a mother never tries to find out how her child is...maybe a mother longs for her child every moment but does not think how the child is spending those moments, he pulled his hand back.)

Main tujhse milna chahti thi Raman...bahut dino se milna chahti thi par, she looked upto her son.

(I wanted to meet you Raman...i wanted to meet you from many days but, she looked upto her son.)

Par aapki ego aapke pyaar se itni badi thi ki aapko apne bete se dur rehna toh gawara raha par dushmani chodna nahi, he turned his face away.

(But your ego was so larger than love that you accepted to stay away from your son instead of ending the rivalry, he turned his face away.)

Jaanta hai Raman jab tu ghar se gaya tha tab mujhe yakeen tha ki tu wapis aa jaayega...phir tune kiraye ka ghar le liya tab bhi mann mein umeed thi ki ek din toh aa hi jaayega...phir teri naukri bhi lag gayi tab bhi kahin na kahin ek bhram sa tha ki tu laut aayega par ab...ab toh tune apna khud ka ghar bhi le liya Raman, she sadly exclaimed.

(Do you know Raman when you had left the house I had this belief that you will come back...then when you rented a house there was still a hope inside the heart that you will come back one day...then you even got a job but I still had this assumption that you will return but now...but now you even bought a house your own Raman, she sadly exclaimed.)

Toh kya mere ghar lene ka aapko dukh hai...ab kya aapko apne bete ki tarakki bhi khushi nahi deti, he misunderstood his mother.

(So are you unhappy with my purchase...does your son's success also does not make you happy anymore, he misunderstood his mother.)

Mera matlab yeh nahi tha Raman...main kehna chah rahi thi ki ab dil ko ehsaas hone laga hai ki tu sach mein bahut dur chala gaya hai aur kabhi nahi lautega, she finally broke down.

(I didn't mean this Raman...i was trying to say that now my heart has started to realize that you have really gone too far and will never return, she finally broke down.)

Main dur nahi gaya maa...aapne mujhe khud se dur bhej diya...bahut dur, he tried his best to hide his tears.

(I didn't go away Maa...you sent me away from you...very far, he tried his best to hide his tears.)

Main kyun tujhe dur bhejungi...main toh tujhse bahut pyaar karti hoon Raman, Toshi Ji once again held her son's hand.

(Why will I send you away...I love you a lot Raman, Toshi Ji once again held her son's hand.)

Mujhse karti hongi aap pyaar par jinse main pyaar karta hoon unse aap pyaar nahi kar paayi maa aur isilie shayad yeh duri aa gayi, he felt his throat almost choked while saying those words.

(You might love me but you could not love the ones I love and that is why this distance emerged between us Maa, he felt his throat almost choked while saying those words.)

Tu aisa nahi tha Raman jo apni maa se itni badi badi baatein keh de...main sab jaanti hoon...yeh sab us ladki ki wajah se hai...pata nahi usne kya patti padhayi tujhe ki mera ghar hi barbaad ho gaya, Toshi Ji's angry tone returned.

(You were never like this Raman who would answer back his mother...i know everything...all this is because of that girl...i don't know what lesson she taught you that my house got ruined, Toshi Ji's angry tone returned.)

Please maa...yeh mera office hai aur yahan meri izzat hai...aapko dhyaan rakhna chahie ki aap meri biwi ke baare mein baat kar rahi hain aur main apni biwi ke khilaaf ek bhi galat shabd nahi sununga, he too jerked his mother's hand angrily.

(Please Maa...this is my office and I have some sort of respect here...you should take care of the fact that you are talking about my wife and I won't listen a single wrong word against my wife, he too jerked his mother's hand angrily.)

Sahi baat hai puttar bilkul sahi baat hai...maa se badhke aaj biwi ho gayi hai, Toshi Ji taunted.

(You are right son absolutely right...today wife is more important than the mother, Toshi Ji taunted.)

Kuch aur hai aapke paas kehne ko ya main jaun, he ignored the taunt.

(Do you have anything else to say or I should go, he ignored the taunt.)

Kabka toh jaa chukka hai Raman...aur kitna jaayega, she once again taunted.

(You are already gone Raman...how much more will you go, she once again taunted.)

Subah subah mera acha khaasa din barbaad karne ke liye shukriya...Dhyaan rakhiyega apni sehat ka, he coldly commented before leaving while Toshi Ji sat back to curse her biggest enemy who was unfortunately the love of his son's life.

(Thank you for spoiling a good day early in the morning...take care of your health, he coldly commented before leaving while Toshi Ji sat back to curse her biggest enemy who was unfortunately the love of his son's life.)

-----------------------------------------------------------

Kaisa tha aapka aaj ka din...aapke colleagues ko aapne mithaai dedi thi na naye ghar ki khushi mein...kisi ko bura toh nahi laga ki aapne unhe party nahi di, she excitedly asked as she settled on the bike with him.

(How was your day today...you gave sweets to your colleagues for the new house right...were they angry because you didn't throw them a party, she excitedly asked as she settled on the bike with him.)

Ghar jaake baat karen please, he sadly requested.

(Let's go home and talk please, he sadly requested.)

Ok sure, she said sensing something wrong even though unaware of how bad his day was.

Chai lenge ya coffee, she asked as they entered home.

(Will you have tea or coffee, she asked as they entered home.)

Coffee please, he said and left for the room silently.

Yeh Raman ko kya ho gaya aaj...itne shant hain...na kuch bol rahe hain na sun rahe hain...subah toh ache khaase the, she got confused with the unusualness in his behavior.

(What happened to Raman today...he is so silent...neither he is saying anything nor listening...he was fine in the morning, she got confused with the unusualness in his behavior.)

Raman kuch hua hai kya aaj, she asked as she placed the two coffee cups on the side table.

(Raman something happened today, she asked as she placed the two coffee cups on the side table.)

Nahi bas thoda thak gaya hoon, he leaned back resting his head on the headrest of the bed.

(No I am just a little tired; he leaned back resting his head on the headrest of the bed.)

Aaiye main sir daba doon, she lovingly opened her arms to welcome him in her lap.

(Come here I will massage your head, she lovingly opened her arms to welcome him in her lap.)

Aapko pata hai Raman main na aapse bahut pyaar karti hoon...aur aapki khushi ke liye kuch bhi kar sakti hoon...chaahe kuch bhi ho jaaye kaise bhi haalaat ho kaisa bhi samay ho main humesha humesha aapke saath hoon...dukh mein bhi aur sukh mein bhi...ache dino mein bhi aur bure dino mein bhi, she assured him about her love for him as she massaged his head.

(Do you know Raman I love you so much...and I can do anything for your happiness...no matter what happens, whatever the circumstances are, however the time is I am always with you...in the good times as well as sad times...in the good days as well as bad days, she assured him about her love for him as she massaged his head.)

I love you, he said with a faint smile.

Kuch kehna chahte ho, she understood his silence.

(You want to say something right, she understood his silence.)

Aaj Maa aayi thi office mein, he narrated the incident in very few words.

(Today Maa came to office, he narrated the incident in very few words.)

Ek din aayega Raman jab sab thik ho jaayega...sab rishte sulajh jayenge...sab naaraazgiyaan mit jayengi aur har dil mein sirf pyaar hi pyaar hoga, she caressed his forehead.

(One day will come Raman when everything will be fine...all relations will be sorted...all the anger will fade out and every heart will be full of just love, she caressed his forehead.)

Do you really think aisa kuch kabhi hoga, he looked at her.

(Do you really think this will ever happen, he looked at her.)

Yes I really think and I am very sure about it...ek din zarur aisa aayega jis din sab kuch perfect ho jaayega, she bent down to peck his forehead thereby taking away all his stress and managing to paste a smile on his face.

(Yes I really think and I am very sure about it...one day will surely come when everything will be perfect, she bent down to peck his forehead thereby taking away all his stress and managing to paste a smile on his face.)

And that's how they completed each other. If one was upset, other took the responsibility of either cheering the other one up or else just giving the company in being upset. That's what they shared; an imperfectly perfect relation.
