Part 10:
Chandigarh
Vanshika was in the kitchen when she saw Viren and Jeevika walk in for breakfast. "Aapko Viren Bhai aur Bhabhi ko ek aur din ke liye yahiin rok kar rakhna hoga." "Yeh bohot buri phasi hoon main.. Kya karoon??" and she her eyes fell on her phone.. She immediately dialed someone, spoke hastily into the phone and turned around and sighed! She joined everyone at the table..
"Jeevika-Viren, beta mujhe tum dono se ek favour chahiye tha.." They were both startled to hear Vanshika speak to them this way.. She had never asked Jeevika for anything..
"Haan Maa, kahiye na.."
"Beta, woh humare NGO ke treasurer hai na, Mr. Singh, unhone aaj ek function paln kiya hai.. Maine hi infact saari taiyaariyan ki hai, lekin aaj meri tabiyat kuch theek nahi lag rahi hai.. Sir mein subah se dard hai.. ab apne hi NGO ke function mein na jaana, achha bhi toh nahi lagta na.. Kya tum dono jaa sakte ho?"
Virika looked at each other.. They were supposed to leave for Hrishikesh in an hour.. And here Vanshika was asking them to stay back.. Then again, she had never asked them for anything before.. Viren nodded to Jeevika who in turn smiled and turned to talk to Vanshika..
"Haan Maa, aap chinta mat kijiye.. Main aur Virenji chale jayenge.. Waise aapne davai li?? Chaliye nashta kar lijiye, phir main aapko khud davai de doongi.."
She looked at her elder son and daughter-in-law with pride.. They were ideal children, siblings and spouses. She admired them even more.. She also felt guilty that she had to keep Jeevika away from Manvi for another day..
"Thank you so much bte.. Tum nahi jaante, mujhe kitna bura lag raha hai.. Tum dono aaj jaanewale the.. aur maine aise tok diya.."
It was Viren's turn now, "Maa.. its okay.. Hum kal chale jayenge.. Aur ab aap aaraam kijiye.. tension mat lijiye.. Main aur Jeevika ho aayenge.."
He turned around to go to work, asking Jeevika to be ready for the function in the evening.. He glanced at his mother, who had a confused expression on her face.. Nothing misses a lawyer's gaze.. And Viren Vadhera was the best.. But it was his mother.. so he dropped the thought and made his way out of the house..
Vanshika had retired to her room for a nap after being forced by Jeevika. Then she remembered that she had to call Heer,
"Heer bete, maine Viren aur Jeevika ko kuch kaam ke bahaane rok liye hai.. Waise, wahaan par sab theek toh hai na?"
And Heer had ranted about how everything was going on perfectly fine.. Feeling satisfied, she silently apologized to Viren-Jeevika again.. Lekin main bhi majboor thi.. Inn bachhon ke beech mein, main ek din boori pissne vaali hoon..
In the evening, Viren and Jeevika had attended the function at their NGO. People there were meeting Jeevika for the first time and they took her away to show around the place. Jeevika was amazed to see that her mother-in-law had been working for the welfare of orphaned kids and old-aged people. She spent some time with the staff there and looked around to find Viren. But she saw him talking over the phone in a corner..
"Haan, haan.. maine aapke papers ready kar rakhe hain.. Aap kal aakar mere office se le jaiye..
When suddenly he saw Mr. Singh trying to escape everyone's eyes, speaking to someone on the phone.. It was hard to miss as he was just standing behind Viren.. "Its okay, Mrs. Vadhera. Humne saari arrangements kar di.. Koi dikkat nahi hui.. Aur vaise bhi, yeh function toh iss Sunday ko hona hi tha na.. Lekin yahaan par sabne aapke presence ko miss kiya.. Aapne hi aaj phone karke itni jaldi jaldi mein yeh function organize karvaya, aur aap khud hi isse attend nahi kar payi.. Lekin koi baat nahi.. Viren aur unki wife toh aa gayi.. Aap khayal rakhiye.. Kal office mein milte hain.."
Viren hid behind a curtain and had disconnected his own phone.. He was too stunned to think straight.. Maa ne inhe aaj function rakhne ko kaha.. Lekin woh toh kal raat se bimaar hain.. Phir unhone aisa kyun kiya? Mujhe aur Jeevika ko yahaan bhejne ke liye? Lekin phir unhone jhooth kyun bola.. Hum toh vaise bhi aa jaate..
He was brought out by a gentle tap on his shoulder and his wife's sweet voice, "Virenji??"
He walked towards the dining area without revealing anything to Jeevika..
Hrishikesh (Ashram)
"Maa, hum yahaan aur kitne din ruknewale hain?", Prem turned around to ask his mother while furiously typing away on his laptop.
"Prem, tumhe yahaan koi problem hai?", She said ruffling his hair..
"Nahi Maa, problem nahi hai.. Lekin aap jaanti hain na, mera saara business Chandigarh mein hai.. Yahaan par sirf ek choti factory hai.. Jo ki kuch hi dinon mein set up ho jayegi.. Hum Chandigarh kyun nahi shift ho sakte? Ghar taiyaar hone tak, hum kisi hotel mein reh lenge.. ya phir main koi apartment rent par le loonga.."
She looked at her son and could sense his discomfort..He had to keep juggling between Chandigarh and Hrishikesh. The fact that Hrishikesh didn't have an airport further added to his woes.. Prem hated travelling by train, which meant he spent almost a day every week, shuttling between the two places. Gayatri Singhania knew that what her son had just suggested made complete sense..
The Singhanias were billionaires.. They could buy n number of houses anywhere in the world.. So, why exactly had she kept him confined to the small Ashram here in a small town like Hrishikesh?? But then again, there was something that kept her from leaving this place.. As if something destined was waiting to happen.. But what??
She turned around and sat down on the bed next to him, "Prem, tum toh jaante ho na ki yeh tumhari Dadi ka janamsthan hai.. Aur woh chahti thi ki unke jaane ke baad, hum yahaan kuch din yahaan guzarein.. Aur yeh jagah mujhe aur tumhare Daddy ko bhi bohot pasand aayi.."
"I understand Mom, its okay.. Main manage kar loonga.. Don't worry.Its just a matter of a few days." And he gave her a reassuring smile.
Hrishikesh (Chaudhry's house)
They saw Manvi walking in with a tray laden with food. And that's when it struck him.. Beta Virat, chal iss aag mein aur ghee daalte hain..
"Arre Heeriye, aaj na main tumhe Ganga Ghat le jaunga.. Wahaan par shaam ke time kya hawa chalti hai.. Aur dukaanon mein jo mithai milti hai..Vaah! tumhe idea bhi nahi hai ki humein kitna mazaa aanewaala hai, Virat said with an arm wrapped around Heer's shoulder.. But Heer, smart that she was, understood what her darling brother was implying at.. Yes Bhaiya, aapki Manvi ke tewar dekhkar toh mujhe pakka yakeen hai ki bohot mazaa aanewala hai..
And true, Manvi's eyes had almost popped out watching them in such a position.. Iss Chep ki toh Main.. besharam kahiin ka..And then she heard them discussing plans for the evening.. "Virat, tum Ganga Ghat ja raho ho, kissi beach par nahi jo tumhe hawa khani hai.."
And the plan was working, Virat was thoroughly enjoying Manvi's reaction.. If only looks could kill, he would've been baingan ka bharta by now.. "Oh toh tumhe pata chal hi gaya??" She glared at him, "Aww, tumhe bura lag raha hai Manvi, toh ek kaam karo, tum bhi chalo humare saath..waise bhi humein ek tourist guide ki jaroorat toh padegi na, kyun Heer?" Heer looked at Manvi who was glaring at Virat..
Loha garam hai Heer maar de hathoda.."Ohh yess of course Virat.. Manvi chalogi na tum?? Be ready at 6!" Manvi turned around.. Tourist guide.. tumhari saath jaeygi meri jootti..Jab Bhookh se chakkar aayenge na, tab kha lena Ghat ki thandi hawa..
Heer's eyes fell on the tray.. Jam, bread, cheese, boiled eggs? Bananas?? She poked Virat with her finger, "Arre yeh kya?? Khana kahaan hai?? "Woh kya hai na, ghar mein kuch bhi nahi hai.. Kal Beeji ne jaate hue kaha tha ki samaan mangva lena.. Lekin hum Di ka intezaar kar rahe the.. Ab mujhe toh pata nahi hai ki ghar kaise chalaate hain.. Toh issliye, filhaal aapko Jam aur Bread se kaam chalana padega..
Dabbu opened his mouth to protest, but Virat saw Manvi silence him with a glare.. Achha ji.. toh ab humein bhookha rakhne ki planning chal rahi hai..
"Nahi nahi.. Hum yeh nahi khayenge? Not to fear, when Virat is here!!"
Manvi rolled her eyes, Heer looked at him confused while Dabbu was excited at the thought of getting some food.
"Arre aise kya dekh rahe ho sab.. Aaj Chef Virat dikhayenge ki kam ingredients mein bhi yummy lunch ban sakta hai.. Aur haan, yeh sabke bas ki baat nahi hai.. So, follow me!!"
And he entered the kitchen, toasted bread, while Heer applied some butter onto the slices. They both left no opportunity, to irritate Manvi further.. Virat made some scrambled eggs, and some banana pancakes, to everyone's surprise.. "Arre aise kyun ghoor rahe ho, khana hi hai.. thoda hatke hai.. lekin Manvi ke Jam, bread aur kelon se better hai.."
They had their lunch in silence with Virat and Heer occasionally feeding each other.. Virat and Heer spent the afternoon in the garden trying to annoy Manvi and well their plan was working out to be even better than expected. Manvi was literally on fire.. She could attack anyone of them any moment, Virat thought.. But he was also a Vadhera.. Itni asaani se haar nahi maanoonga, meri Bandariya..
It was evening and Manvi was dressed up to leave for the Ghats. That's when, Virat decided to slightly alter his plans. "Arre tum taiyaar bhi ho gayi?? Woh kya hai na, Heer ka mann nahi hai.. toh humne plan cancel kar diya.. waise agar tum jaana chahti ho toh chali jaao.. lekin haan, raat hone se pehle aa jaana varna Beeji pareshaan ho jayengi.. Main hi tumhare saath chalta, lekin aaj mera Heer ke saath candle light dinner karne ka mann hai.. Waise khana toh ready hai na? Hum apne kamre mein hi dinner kar lenge.. Tum tension mat lena.. No actually ek problem hai, candles kahaan hongi?"
And this was it.. Manvi had had enough.. Yeh Chep samajhta kya hai apne aap ko haan? Candle light dinner?? Mere hi ghar mein aakar mujhiko ignore kar raha hai.. Keh toh aise raha tha ki mere saath Ghat chalke koi ehsaan karega.. Bhaad mein jaaye.. mujhe kya!! And she stormed upstairs into her room.
She shut the door and fell on the bed.. And to her surprise, she felt tears streaming down her face.. Maanvi.. ro kyun rahi hai? Tujhe isse itna fark kyun pad raha hai.. Woh kuch bhi kare.. kissi ke bhi saath jaaye.. Lekin woh mera Partner hai.. tha.. Aise kaise badal sakta hai koi.. Ab toh woh mujhe literally ignore kar raha hai.. Manvi, yahi toh tu chahti thi, remember.. Tune hi usse majboor kiya hai apne aap se door jaane ke liye.. Bhagwanji, aap bhi na kabhi kabhi hadd se jyada hi had karte ho.. And she sank her head down onto the pillows and resumed crying.
Virat had narrated everything that happened downstairs to Heer and she was infuriated. "Bhaiya, aapko kya zaroorat thi unse yeh sab kehne ki.. pata hai unhe kitni chot pohonchi hogi?"
"Oye party badal di tune? Aur meri chot ka kya? Mere dard ka kya jo main itne mahinon se jhel raha hoon!" They both fell silent for a while and Virat got up.. "Waise Heer, maine kuch jyada hi keh diya na usse. Mujhe jaana chahiye.." "Yess Bhaiya, and remember yahi mauka hai, apne dil ki baat keh deejiye.. Koshish to keejiye.."
Virat made his way upstairs towards Manvi's room.. Dil ki baat baadmein.. pehle mujhe uss Bandariya ke dil mein chupe raaz ko jaanna hoga..
He knocked on the door twice..thrice.. "Manvi, darwaza kholo.. Manvi yaar darwaza kholo.."
She got up from the bed and opened the door, "Kya hai?? Candles nahi mile tumhe ya koi naukar chahiye ab khana serve karne ke liye? Ya phir shayad music ka intezaam karna hoga.. Sorry haan Virat, main abhi kar deti hoon.."
He was slowly losing his patience.. Fine, maine jyada bol diya.. lekin yeh itna attitude kyun dikha rahi hai.. galti iski bhi toh hai..
He held her by her arms and dragged her back inside her room and shut the door.. He made her sit down on the bed and walked to the window, opened it and let in some fresh air.. He needed to soothe his nerves..
"Partner, bohot jhaag bikher liya.. Ab seedhe point pe aayein??"
How was it?? I know it must've seemed like a bit of a drag.. But trust me, was quite essential for the story to progress.. And besides now you know that our Prem Babu is in Hrishikesh too.. ๐
