A hot summer morning...
A voice of a little boy coming from Daya's bedroom
Boy: Chachu, aap ne kaha tha aaj mujhe le jayenge... aap ne promise kiya tha... please chachu...
Daya: beta, chachu aap ko le kar jayenge na... zaroor jayenge. bas kuch der ke liye mujhe bureau jana hai, phir wapas aake aap ko lekar jaunga. thik hai na beta?
Abhijeet: Haan Daya, tune hi isko bigad ke rakkha hai. Jab bhi dekho Chachu, chachu... kya yaar... tum dono ke laad pyar se hi bigad raha hai yeh nawab zada...
Daya: Abhi, tum humare beech kyu aa rahe ho? Jao na yaar. har waqt ghalat time pe aa jate ho, baatein chal raha hain na humare beech...
Abhijeet: kar lo jo marzi... iss chota shaitan ko tum hi sambhal lo, lekin meri beti ko chhor dena, woh tum dono jaisi nahi. woh meri pari hai. main chalta hun
Daya: haan jao.
Abhijeet left the room, at the same time a sweet voice came,
Li'l girl: bale pappa, aap aao na... mujhe aap ki paas jana hai...
her face was crimson red, eyes were swollen.
Abhijeet: tarika! kya hua meri bachchi ko? isse rula diya tumne?
Tarika: nahi janab, maine nahi. iski mamma se puchiye, itni si bachchi ko itne zor se koi daant sakte hai kya!
Shreya was trying not to look at them, she was trying hard to keep herself busy in kitchen work.
Tarika: ab muh kyun chhupa rahi hai tu? bata apni jeej ko, kaise daant di tune isse?
Little Diya is now on Abhijeet's lap, still sobbing, and holding tightly his neck.
Diya: Bale pappa, mamma gandi hai...
Abhijeet: kyun beta? kya hua? mamma ne kyun daanta aap ko?
Diya: Diya ne painting ki thi, iss liye
Abhijeet to Shreya: kya shreya, tum bhi na! painting karni to achchi baat hai na, tum ne daanta kyu isse phir?
Shreya: puchhiye aap ki ladli se, kahan ki thi painting isne?
Abhijeet looked towards Diya who is now hiding her face into his chest.
Now tarika came.
Tarika: Diya ne Adi ke school book mein painting kar di... bachchi hai, kar di nadani. aur yeh hai ki use marne wali thi, pata hai tumhe Abhi?
Shreya: Di, woh Adi ke school ke book tha na! aur yeh na bahut zyada hi shaitan ho rahi hai!
Diya from Abhijeet's lap in a very low voice : muje bi bhaiya jaise books chaiye, picture wali.. bale pappa, aap la doge na? Diya ko chaiye waise book
Abhijeet: haan haan, kyun nahi! Bade papa aap ko denge na bhaiya jaise books.
Shreya looked at him with 'phir se!' look.
Daya entered kitchen with Adi in his hand.
Daya: bhabi, aaj hum dono bahar jayenge lunch ke liye, aur woh spiderman wala movie bhi dekhenge.
Adi is smiling widely.
Diya: baiya, s...s...spidelman kya hai?
Adi (in 'know it all' tone): Diya, spiderman ke na bahut takat hota hai, aur woh bure logon ko marte hai
Diya: Pappa, mamma, bale pappa, di s-a-b spidelman hai? [Diya calls Tarika as Di, like her mamma. Nobody knows why!]
All laughed together except Diya,she is still on abhijeet's lap. and now she is trying to understand why all started laughing! Then she got that she might not be able to show all of them how much strong she is! That's why they are all laughing. Then she stood on Abhijeet's lap (in this position her head reached Abhijeet's shoulder, and he is kissed her cheek. Diya held him again and then in a strong voice)
Diya: aap sab haas lahe hai kyun? Main bhi pisedelman (in the meantime she forgot the tough pronunciation of 'Spiderman'!) hoon. hoon na, bale pappa? (She looked at him with her most innocent smile)
All of them could not control themselves and bursted out with laughter this time except Abhijeet. This time he is not laughing loudly, only a sweet smile is present on his face. He just hugged the little baby more tightly who just put her head on his shoulder and trying to sleep there(which is her usual place of sleeping).
All of them were sitting around their dining table. It's the breakfast time. It's a happy sunday morning. Only Daya have to go to bureau for only a couple of hours for some work. All of them are enjoying this lovely family time. Due to their work schedule it's really hard to spend time together. As all of them are working, Acp sir always tries to schedule their work in such a way, that at least one of them could be present at home always, as Diya is still just a baby (only 18 months old). Adi is 5 years old now. and as he is the elder brother of Diya, he thinks he is much older than actually he is ;) He is his chachu's boy. He always tries to copy Daya in every possible way, and of course, he is Shreya's 'ladla'. Actually when Adi was born, Dareya was only a newly wed couple. And Adi was basically Shreya's best wedding gift. Soon after the boy was born Shreya became his best friend, within a few days, when the baby boy grows older, Daya found a partner in him who is as innocent as he is. and now he got someone to take care of (as it is always him in this house who is taken care of by his bhaiya and bhabi!) So in this way our junior became Dareya's heart. On the other hand, when Diya was born, Abhijeet's wish for a baby girl became true, and and that time Shreya was very weak. So it was Tarika who had to take care of both the mom and baby. And in this way, the Duo's home became the sweet home as it is now.
Suddenly the land phone rang. It was Adi who ran towards it.
Adi: Hello... Adi speaking (mocking Daya's style)
Woman: hello Adi! kaise hai aap?
Adi: Aap kaun?
Woman: beta, main aapki mausi.
Adi:(in a very happy tone) chachu! jaldi aiye. mausi mumbai wapas aa gayi... aap kab aa rahe hai ghar?
Purvi: bas kuch hi der mein
on the dining table, all the four faces became excited! Wow! rajat and Purvi are back from their honeymoon. They are all very excited... Adi has also joined them with a glowing face.
