Part 18

Sooraj went out of the shop after informing Sandhya that he had some work. Meanwhile Sandhya looked after the shop and helped Chotu with his studies. She taught Chotu a lot after all he missed a lot of studies. "Chotu we are going to get you signed up for school tomorrow! So you can go back!" Sandhya smiled at him. "But Bhabisa what about me helping at the shop?" Sandhya shook her head. "Chotu tu chota hai yeh umar koi kaam karne ki nahin hai yeh parai karne ki hai! Me aur tere Sooraj ji yeh his chahte hai ke tu tere zindagi me kuch bano doctor, engineer tuje jo bhi ban na hai tu ban... par dukaan pe no kaam! Me hoon na aur ese koi zaroorat pare toh hum ek naukar rak lenge!" Chotu smiled at her "Theek hai Bhabisa me kitne lucky hu ke mujhe aap aur Sooraj ji mila!" Sandhya smiled at him again and she served a few customers. She took all the money onto the desk and bought over a calculator. She calculated the profit that they made after all the costs have been deducted. There was a huge smile that appeared on her face. With the money that they earned in two days and the money that they made before the shop they had a profit of 10,000 rupees. She walked over to Chotu. "Chotu tujhe pata hai ke humne kitne profit banaye hai?" Chotu looked up and he pulled a cute smile. "Kitna Bhabhisa?" Chotu wondered in his head and Sandhya out of excitement replied "10,000 rupees, Sooraj ji kitne kush honge jab woh wapas aayenge toh!" Sandhya was really happy and her eyes were beaming. Sooraj walked into the shop and made sure he put the papers in his pocket. Sandhya saw him and ran up to him. "Sooraj ji mere paas ek bohot achi news hai!" she dragged him inside the shop. "Woh Sooraj ji aap guess kijye na?" Sandhya was holding his hand and right in his face. Sooraj was wondering why she was so happy. He was happy that she was smiling away. "Kya Sandhya ji mujhe kuch nahin pata hai? Ap bolye ke kya hua hai?" Chotu was giggling watching their romance. Sooraj looked at Chotu. "Chotu yeh tere Bhabisa kya keh rahe hai? Mujhe batate hi nahin hai ke kya hua?" Sandhya couldn't control her laughter. "Sooraj ji aap yeh game me fail hogaye hai... me batate hu! Woh Sooraj humne 10,000 rupees ki profit banaye hai!" she held his hand tightly and Sooraj was speechless. He didnt know how to react. He watched Sandhya smile away with happiness. "Sandhya ji that's amazing! I mean I can't believe it! We made so much after costs!" Sooraj was ecstatic he pulled Sandhya in his arms and wrapped his arms around her waist and gripped her tightly. He lifted her and looked at her as he spun her around. Chotu was watching Sooraj and was smiling away. He was happy for them. "Sooraj ji let me down!" Sandhya was laughing at Sooraj's reaction. He let her down and cupped her cheeks. He smiled at her lovingly and looked into her deep brown eyes. "Thank you Sandhya ji! You have made my day today!" He looked down at her hands and lifted them gently like a rose and placed them in his palms. "Thank you for supporting me so much and getting me back where I started if it wasn't for you I wouldn't have been able to do any of this, this shop, this business back to where it was! It was all your hard work!" Sandhya had gentle tears emerge at her eye lids and she smiled proudly looking at Sooraj. Sooraj was irked to see her tears. He wiped them gently. "Never let these things fall out of your eyes they are precious to me! I want you to smile not cry!" he wiped them away gently. Diyaaa played. Sandhya lay her head on his chest and Sooraj kissed her forehead gently. "Sooraj ji I didnt do anything we did this together!" Sandhya formed a tighter hold and wrapped her arms around Sooraj's back and closed her eyes. She didnt want to let go of him ever. Chotu was a little shy at the surroundings. "Woh Sooraj bhaiya me abhi aaya!" he walked off out of the shop. Sooraj and Sandhya were left shy as they didnt remember Chotu was there watching them on the table. Sandhya moved her eyes around and couldn't meet eyes with Sooraj. Sooraj watched her blush and then decided to pull her closer to him. She put her hands on his body and looked downwards. "Mrs Rathi woh ab dukaan me sirf me aur tum hai... Chotu bhi chala gaya ab hum kaha the!" Sandhya ran off out of his arms and Sooraj tried to stop her. She went to serve the customers at the front and Sooraj decided to clean the back.

It was nearing evening and Sooraj was finishing off at the shop. Chotu was stacking all the boxes in the cupboards and Sandhya was at home. Chotu looked at Sooraj and went to tell him his thoughts. "Sooraj bhaiya me aapse kuch kahu?" Chotu looked at him whilst he was wiping the sides down. "Ji Chotu kya baat hai?" he looked at him wondering what he wanted. "Woh Sooraj ji... me yeh...!" Sooraj was eager to know "Saaf ke de chotu kya baat hai?" Sooraj put his hand on his shoulder. "Woh Sooraj bhaiya aaj Bhabi ne aapko itne achi kabar dhi hai toh aap bhi unke liye kuch karo na? Mere matlab unko baar lejao baar ghumao, picture shayad?" Chotu smiled naughtily at Sooraj and he stopped to think about Chotu. "Chotu tere baat to sahi hai... par tere Bhabhisa nahin manenge mera matlab unko picture pasand hai ya nahin mujhe nahin pata hai?" Sooraj wondered if she did. Since they were married they never got the chance to go out so it felt a bit weird for him. "Sooraj bhaiya sab ko picture achi lagti hai aur is hafte par toh bare achi film hai Ek Tha Tiger Romance aur Action!" Chotu smiled at him. "Come on Sooraj bhaiya! Tickets le lo abhi phir Bhabhisa ko surprise karo!" Chotu pushed his thoughts further and he nodded. He served Chotu his food and then he left the shop to get the tickets and go home. Chotu closed the shutters after night and went to sleep after studying and Sooraj headed back home. He got first class tickets for his wife and him to enjoy for their first cinema date.

He knocked on the door and Sandhya opened it. She had her hair tied up and she was just about to knead the dough for the roti. "Sooraj ji abhi khana lag jayenga!" Sooraj looked around to see only the sabzi made. "Woh Sandhya ji... mat banaye roti aur yeh sab mujhe nahin khana hai!" he turned his nose up and she wondered what happened. "Kyun Sooraj ji?" Sandhya bought him and closed the door. "Woh mera maan nahin hai?" Sandhya was shocked. She was baffled infact by her expressions. Sooraj looked around and then he held her right hand. "Why dont we go out? Ap ko kabhi maan nahin karta hai ke kabhi bar ka khana khaye?" Sandhya was expressionless. "Nahin toh baar ka khane sehat ke liye acha nahin hai!" Sooraj was shocked. "Sandhya ji ek din bar se kayenge toh kuch ho nahin jayenga!" Sandhya agreed after a bit of thought. "Par Sooraj ji yeh khana mene banaya hai iska kya honga?" Sandhya looked at it and didnt want to waste it. "Sandhya ji aap bhi na fridge me rakh dijya kal kaah lenge!" Sandhya left the debate and put all the things in the fridge. She let her hair down and combed it in the mirror. She walked up to Sooraj and said "I am ready!" Sandhya smiled and Sooraj looked at her. "Yeh pen kar jaonge baar?" he shook his head and took her to the wardrobe. He picked out a yellow and pink saree. "Yeh sari aap pehnenge aaj!" he took a green kurta out which had simple embroidery around the collars and down. She quickly got changed and Sooraj couldn't take her eyes off her. He walked up to her and whispered in her ear "You look stunning!" he kissed her hand gently like a gentleman and escorted her out of the door.

They reached a new restaurant which had opened in Pushkar it sold Indo- Chinese and Mexican food. They both hadn't tried any of it before but Sooraj wanted to go somewhere special. It was about 7pm so they had till 9pm to get to the cinema. They were taken to their table. It was quite a posh restaurant and Sandhya looked around. The table was organised well there was a little vase with a rose in water. They sat down and the waiter ordered their drinks. "Sooraj ji yeh saab kis liye hai? Mere matlab itne menghe restaurant me!" Sooraj looked at her innocence. He put his hand over hers. "Sandhya ji hum ek dusre ki saath waqt bitane aaye hai! Sirf restaurant me khane ke liye aaye hai is ke liye tohde koi waja hone chaye!" Sandhya smiled at him. He was so romantic she thought. "Waise Sandhya ji mene esa khana kabhi kaya nahi hai? Aapne khaya hai?" Sandhya looked around. "Mene bhi nahin Sooraj ji!" they both smiled a little at each other. "Woh toh achi baat hai ab hum kuch nayi khane ka moka mila nakar hum sirf sabzi, daal baati churma hi khate hai!" they both looked at the menu and everything was written in English. "Sooraj ji yeh sab toh angrezi me likhe hai me aapko madat karte hu!" They both searched the menu and Sandhya told Sooraj all the things on the menu in Hindi and he was totally confused. "Sandhya ji mujhe nahin pata ke me kya khao aur kya nahin!" Sandhya laughed at him. "Sooraj ji aap bilkul bache ki tare hai!" She looked down the menu and called the waiter "Can we have haaka noodles, vegetable sizzler, nachos and vegetable Manchurian!" Sooraj smiled as she very cleverly selected the dishes. "Sooraj ji mene tumare liye 2 dishes aur mere liye do... phir ham share bhi karenge!" she smiled at him and they waited to indulge the food.

The food arrived after 20 minutes and they started eating. Sooraj looked over at the table near them through the corner of his eye and he saw the young boy giving the girl the rose on the table. He smiled to himself. He picked the rose out of the vase and gave it to Sandhya. "Sandhya ji yeh tumare liye hai... I love you!" Sandhya was shocked that he said it in public. She felt special when she took the rose from his hand. "Thank you Sooraj ji!" she placed it next to her and looked at it lovingly. "Sandhya ji... aapko nahin kuch kehna hai mujhe?!" Sandhya's eyes were bulging out. She knew exactly what he meant. She looked around nervously. How could she say I love you in public? She has said it before but only when they are alone not when everyone is present around them. She shook her head in denial. She loved him but she was a bit uncomfortable. Sooraj looked at her with hope. She looked at him then looked down. Sooraj could feel that she wasn't feeling comfortable. "It's okay you dont have to say it!" Sooraj was heartbroken the sparkle in his had disappeared and this upset Sandhya too. She wanted to say it but her words just didnt come out. "Sooraj ji... woh... I... love... you!" Sandhya closed her eyes and her lips curved slowly into a smile. Sooraj was shocked and a smile appeared automatically on his lips. He was so happy. She had said it before but this time it was special for him. He brushed his fingers over her hands and bought her hand as he kissed it gently. She opened her eyes and her cheeks went rosy red as his lips sent electrifying feelings through her body.

They enjoyed their night with lovely food and they left to go to the cinema.
