Chapter 24

AFTER ONE MONTH

Today all the elders were present home. Right now whole family was having breakfast together. The two new born along were sleeping in the nursery.

Devang: Veer!

Veer: jii baba sa??

[Yes, dad]

Devang: I want you to take a look around the villages and slove few matters that occurs there. And Manav, I want you to visit Darhma village someone filed a complain against the Thakur there.

Manav: jii bhaisa

Veer: babasa actually I wanted the property papers of all the people living in that village.

Devang: I will send you hard copy of it to you.

Veer: jii baba sa.

[Yes dad]

Bhumiksingh: so vansh how's the training going?

Vansh: aachi Dada sa, the only thing is that my boss very lazy so I have to do little extra work.

[Good, grandpa]

Vansh said while smirking at Raghav who glared at him.

Bhumik: since when did Raghav start being lazy? It's impossible.

Raghav: it's nothing dada sa it's just that I took a leave for a day and he managed the work and ever since then he is taunting me every now and then.

Vansh: it's not just that one day dada sa. It was a whole one day and evening of the next day. And when we asked him the reason he lied saying Siya bhabhisa gave him sleeping pills.

He glared at Raghav, while Siya was shocked hearing that.

Siya: this is a white lie..... hukum??sleeping pills??? When?

Raghav (Whispered in her ear): my innocent Siya.....if you will sleep in my arms iisse bada Nasha aabhi ke liye toh aur koi nahi hai mere liye......

[You being in my arms is way more than what a sleeping pill does to me]

Siya (blushed furiously hearing this and cupped her cheeks unconsciously): s-s-shut u-p

Akshita (with smirk): what happen Siya are you alright? what happened suddenly?

Siya: huh???....i-im f-fine bhabhi

She tried to hide her red cheeks.

Akshita: then why are your cheeks so red?

Siya: i-i-its n-nothing like t-that

Akshita: are you sure?

Apeksha chose to step in the conversation and save Siya from her bhabhi's teasing.

"She is sure but Akshu I think you were not fine yesterday I noticed your cheeks were so red, almost like you had a damn fever but when I touch you your body was not hot" Apeksha teased her with an innocent face while Siya sighed in relief and glared at Raghav for not helping her. Raghav being Raghav just smirked in return.

Akshita: I-It was n-nothing bhabhi ma....

She said with a nervous smile.

Apeksha: are you sure?? Bu--

Veer pinched Apeksha's waist under the table and smirked while she jumped and looked at him blushing hard.

Menavati cleared her throat and glared at the three couples.

"Enough now. You six are dismissed from the breakfast... out now get out. You all will never let innocent and respectfull people have their breakfast peacefully always come with your perverted ass." She said mumbling the last part.

Everyone stood up and were ready to go but Ekansh being Ekansh, the second oldest with second Youngest brain cells said....

"dadi saa you are behaving like you guys never did something like this. Its not like you bought papa and bade papa from a supermarket in offer😑 buy one get one free free free ......... ahhh ouch ok I'm sorry"

Ekansh said but before he could run from there Menavati thrrw her heavy Rajasthani mojari (her footwear) which landed directly on his head.

After a good laugh, they all went from there while elders, Sameer, Vansh and Shrot had there breakfast

After breakfast all the men except Sameer and Bhumiksingh went to there respective work.

.....

During late evening, all the ladies are chit-chatting.

Elder ladies were seated on one side while daughter-in-law were seated on opposite side.

When Sameer along with his tail, Shrot came in. Shrot ran towards Apeksha and sat on her lap.

Sameer: hello ladies

Rohini : you are at home? College?

Sameer: voh bas mai... mai.... han maa mai na Siya bhabhi yes, I'm home because I need to drop her for interview.

[That.... I...I ... yes I am here for Siya bhabhi]

Menavati: voh to Siya can go herself or she can even take a driver but why are you here?

Sameer: voh dadi sa bhabhi maa herself asked me to help her and you know na I'm so kind hearted so I can't say no to her.

Rohini: Siya is he telling the truth or is he lying?

Siya: Sameer bhaisa if you are trying to lie atleast do it with some intelligence. Who would interview someone at this hour of day huh?

Siya said with a tight smile.

Sameer (nervously): h..han...ya voh ab mm ma-ma saa (Rohini glared at him) bhabhi maa you should help your brother-in-law na (fake crying)

[Yes.... that.... ma-maa sa...]

Akshita: Sameer how can we help you when you can't even lie properly.

Rohini goes towards him and pulls his ear tightly.

Sameer(scream painfully): aaaahhhhhh maa saa leave please aaaaahhh its hurting aaaahhhh

Rohini (twisted it more): hone deh subha se breakfast ke baad na Jane kaha ghum raha hai. College se call aaya tha Veer ko bataya unhone, tune kya kya kiya hai.

[Let it hurt, you're are gone after breakfast and you weren't in college. The college called Veer, he knows what you did]

Sameer (horrified): w-w-what veer b-b-b-bhaisa ko call K-kiya uus ujde chaman ne ???? Ab to mai gaya, Apeksha bhabhi maa please bacha le mujhe.....

[What?? They called Veer bhaisa?? I'm a dead meat now, Apeksha bhabhi maa please save me]

Apeksha: tu mujhe pleasing mat Kar Sameer, Siya ko Kar, kyun ki hukum ne matter Raghav ko handle karne diya hai. Aur hukum ho ya Raghav ho dono ek jese hi hai, both are devils.

[Don't request me, save it for Siya, because Hukum told Raghav to handle this matter. And as you know be it hukum or be it Rahav, it's the same. They both are devils]

Sameer jump towards Siya and put his hand on her shoulders.

Sameer: tab to koi chinta nai. Meri team mate mujhe bacha legi (proud smile)

[Then I don't have to worry, my team mate will save me]

Siya: Maine Kab bola mai eesa karne vali hu???

[When did I say I'll save you?]

Sameer (gasp): m-matlab aap nahi help kaoroge?

[So you won't save me?]

Siya ( showing him eyes ) : what do you think ?

Sameer: What do you want in return?

Siya (excitedly): ice cream party at night long drive you, me, helly, Vansh bhaiya, and bhabhi maa aapko aana hai? (ask both who shake their head) Sach Mai nahi aana (said little amusing expression) soch lo kyun ki ek baar hukum, Veer bhaisa and Ekansh bhaisa ko Pata chala toh nahi khane milegi.

[Bhabhi maa, you wanna join? (ask both who shake their head) really you don't wanna? (said little amusing expression) think about it Hukum, Veer bhaisa and Ekansh bhaisa won't let you eat all these]

Menavati: Siya unnhone bola na nahi khani mai toh kehti hu tujhe bhi nahi khani chaiye. (Said nervously)

[They said they don't want to eat all that Siya. I suggest you to don't either]

Siya (hands up dramatically): sorry dadi sa maaf kare aapki baat nahi maan paungi.

[I'm sorry grandma, I won't be able to follow your words this time]

Siya: Jaana chahegi kyun? (Menavati first shake her head but nodded again) kyun ki aapka pota jo (said while looking at Rohini ) maasa aur baba sa ko aapne maasa aur baba sa kehte hai. Jo aapne aapko hamare Pati kehte hai, voh hi mahn insaan ne hamare khane pe rok tok laga Rakhi hai.

(Stand up dramatically and started speaking like a 'netaji' ) aab Gao valo aap hi bolo yeh ek nanhi si jaan peh atiyachar nahi toh aur kya hai??

Ek nadan ladki hun mai par mere peh iitne rok tok.......hey bhagwan (look up at god along with her everyone there look up too) iis Jeevan mai kabhi mujhe ice cream khane nahi milegi ab......aapko mere Pati ko ek jewellery designer nai ice cream parlor Vala Bana chaiye tha......aur (look at everyone)

....... chale Gaye bhagwan (everyone who were looking up at god look at her and she continue) aur abhi ke liye bus.

[Do you wanna know why? (Menavati first shake her head but nodded again) because your grandson who is your and baba sa's son (said while looking at Rohini) who is my husband. That same great person had restricted me to so many things. (Stand up dramatically and started speaking like a politician) Now you all tell me, how will I, a sweet little soul on this planet be able to succumb so many atrocities??

I'm an innocent little girl and I've to bear so many restrictions. Oh God!! (look up at god along with her everyone there look up too) I won't ever get to eat Ice cream on this life from now on and (look at everyone?....... It's done, the God went away (everyone who were looking up at god looked at her and she continue) and that's it for now]

Akshita (tease): Siya tune ice cream Vale ya Pani puri vale se hi kyun shaadi nahi ki?

[Why didn't you marry someone who owns and ice cream parlor or someone who sells Pani puri?]

Siya (with fake sadness): Ab kya kare bhabhi maa.....naseeb.... vese mujhe chef bhi chalta?

[What can I do bhabhi ma? This is my fate. I also would have settled for a chef]

Meera: Siya beta aapne emotions kabu mai karlo beta kahi....

[Siya, child please control your emotions, what if...]

Rohini: aree nai.....aap toh mast dadi bane ho mujhe bhi moka milna chaiye ke nahi. (Whispered that only meera and menavati can hear)

[Hey no... you are enjoying being a grandma, I should also get a chance to experience that right?]

Rohini: sahi kaha beta I'm sorry you have to suffer but no problem beta hum tumhare liye chef dundhenge ab thik hai (said while smirking)

[Your right my child, I'm sorry you have to suffer but no problem Siya we will find a chef for you okay?]

Siya (in shock): WHAT!!! No no no no no (run towards her and be on her knees and cup her face) meri pyaari maa sa eesa kuch karne ki jarur nahi hai. Mai...Mai adjust kar lungi. A-a-aap chinta na kare, p-p-par aap eesa kuch vi mat karna Matlab soch na bhi nai.

[My dear mother, please don't do that, it's not necessary at all. I... I'll adjust, don't w-w-worry. Don't do anything like that, don't even think of doing something like that]

Siya: Aap......aap na hukum ko chef Bana deh voh Kitna aacha rahega. Yes toh teh raha unhe hum chef Bana denge, jese voh jewelery banate hai vese hi khana bhi Bana denge. Simple

[You...you should make Hukum a chef that'll be nice. Yes, then it's fixed we will make him a chef, the way he makes jewelery, he can make food too. Simple]

Apeksha : par Siya iin bhaiyo maise kisi ko bhi gas on karna tak nahi aata.

[Siya none of the three brothers know how to switch on a stove]

Sameer (nervously): n..nai bhabhi maa aata hai aap...

[No... bhabhi ma they know..]

Akshita: aree chod mujhe Pata hai nahi aata. Jinko kabhi kitchen mai paani lene jaane pe bhi maut aati ho voh kaha gas no karnge.

[Leave it, I know they don't know how to do that. Those three don't even go to the kitchen to drink a glass of water by themselves and they will switch on a stove?]

Siya: but no offense chalega hame bhi konsa uunki company handle Karni aat hai.

[But no offense, they know how to handle a company]

Apeksha: han baat to sahi hai.

[Yep that's true]

Akshita: I too agree

Siya: par fir bhi aap ko nai lagta bhabhi ki yeh ham par atiyachar hai Matlab ice cream nahi khaneki, Pani puri nahi khaneki......socho Pani puriii

[But still don't bhabhi ma you both think it's an atrocity on us that.they don't let us have ice cream or Pani puri... PANI PURI!]

Rohini: Siya beta bas ab

[It's enough now Siya]

Akshita: nahi maa sa yeh sirf Siya ki problem nahi hai mujhe bhi kuch kehna hai

[No mom, it's not just Siya's problem, even I'm restricted to not eating those foods]

Siya: han bhabhi aap boliye aaj. vese bhi hamari aavaj koi nai sunne vala

[Yes bhabhi ma just say it today, moreover nobody listens to us anyway]

Akshita: Siya tera toh khane peh rok tok hai na. Agar mere hospital mai kisi bhi ladke ka operation ka case aata hai na toh mujhe nahi milta kyun ki hamare patidev uus case ko kisi aur doctor ko pass on kar dete hai. Peheli baat voh mere hospital mai aaye, dusri baat unhone us hospital ko kharid liya teesri baat mujhe roj upar niche karna padta hai, eesa nahi ki aapni wife hai thodi facility dede. Mere pairo ki vat lag jati hai. (Fake crying)

[Siya you are only restricted to food. But in my hospital if there is any male patient whose operation case has came in, I never get those cases because hukum pass those cases to other doctors. First he came on my hospital, second he bought that hospital and thirdly he isn't any better facilities to his wife you know I get so tired going up and down the hospital. My legs start weeping]

Siya: sorry to hear that. Aap ke sath bhi atiyachar hota hai. Par fir bhi bhaisa aache hai hukum se. Hukum jaise bhut gussa to nai karte. Aur aapko ice cream bhi khane milti thi Maine dekha hai.

[I'm sorry to hear even you are facing atrocities but still Ekansh bhaisa is good atleast better than Hukum. He don't get as furious as Hukum. And you also get to have ice cream I know, I've seen you]

Apeksha: Siya voh pregnancy ki vajah se. Aur tum dono kya aapna aapna dukh baya kar Rahe ho. Sab se badi mai hun tum dono mere se choti ho aur dewrani bhi toh mujhe bhi aapna dukh bolne doh.

[That was because of pregnancy. And you two are crying here what about me? I'm the eldest among us three, I should also get a chance to tell my sad stories]

Akshita: ohhh sorry jethani jii. Aap bataye aapna.

[Oh yes please start bhabhi ma]

Meera: bs aab bahut ho gaya chalo sab (said carefully)

[Okay it's enough guys let's go]

Apeksha: maa sa nahi mujhe bhi bolna Hai aapni devrani ko aapna dukh sunna na hai to iinhe bhi Pata chale kisska dukh sab se bada hai

[No mom, even I wanna say it today. You listened to these two they should also know that I have to go through the most atrocities]

Siya: boliye bhabhi boliye

[Say it bhabhi ma say it]

Apeksha: Akshita atleast tujhe gussa to nahi dekhna padta Ekansh ekdam shant kisam ka hai par hukum.....voh na sab kuch ho sakte hai par shant....aree agar voh kabhi shant bhi ho tab bhi tufaan ke pehele ki shanti hoti Hai voh....... Matlab Pata nai iitna gussa laate kaha se hai. Gussel prani (animal)

[Akshita atleast you don't have to suffer with an angry person. Ekansh is so calm and composed person. And hukum he is everything but calm.... if he is ever calm it feels like the calm before a strom. I don't know where he gets so much anger from. Just like an aggressive animal]

Siya: stock mai pada hota hai bhabhi stock mai

[It's kept in stock bhabhi ma that anger is always in stock]

Apeksha: han mujhe bhi vahi lagta hai aur ek min....tujhe kese Pata ki stock mai pada hota hai?

[Yes correct... wait how do you know he keeps anger in stock?]

Siya: aree meri bholi bhabhi maa veer bhaisa aur hukum mai sirf shakal ka hi fark hai Varna dono ekdam same carbon copy hai. Dono aggressive lions hai. The king and the dark forest. (Laugh)

[Oh dear bhabhi ma, Veer bhaisa and Hukum are exactly the same they just have different facial features. They are each other's carbon copy. Both aggressive lions. The king and the dark forest]

Apeksha: indeed they aree

Akshita: vese aggressive lion toh bhi ek samay acche hote hai par kabhi clever fox se samna hua hai. Voh hi hai hukum

[But even aggressive lions are good but have you ever encountered a clever fox. That's what hukum is]

Apeksha: Ab kya kare teeno hai

[What can we do, they all are]

Akshita: devil aur monster

Siya: aap gabbar bolna bhul gaye

[You forgot Gabbar]

Akshita: yes yes devil, monster,aur gabbar

Siya: but ours. They are made for us only (shy smile)

Apeksha: exclusively for us (shy smile)

Akshita: only for us (shy smile)

After 2 second

Siya: but still I want ice cream and I can't have it. So I want you to save me from my Gabbar Singh Raghuvanshi and take me to ice cream parlor then we will prank like we do last time. And we will sneak little early so can have Pani puri too. So are you up for the deal Mr. Sameer Raghuvanshi?

Sameer (scared) v-v-voh bhabhi maa....

[T-Th-That... bhabhi ma]

Siya: before you say something let me tell you I will never open my mouth in front of hukum so don't worry much

???: why hukum? Not gabbar singh raghuvanshi anymore?

Siya (in flow): heyyyy who the hell you think you are to call him that. Only I can c-c-ca-ll h-i..........AAP

[YOU!!!]

Her words stop flowing out of her mouth when she turned around to see Raghav, Veer and Ekansh standing there with expressionless faces. Seeing them she shouted loudly.

Apeksha: aree dheere Siya kyun iitni joor se c-c-chl........(she too turn around to get shocked)

[Calm down Siya why are you screaming, chi--.......]

Akshita: tum dono eese shock hoke kyun khade ho jese hamare piche bhoot ho.

[You both look like you've seen a ghost]

Siya: bhoot hi hai. (Whispered thinking only Akshita can hear it but in fear she make a mistake)

[Yes we have]

Akshita: Siya bhoot nai hota. Tune galti se hukum ko dekh liya hoga mask pehene (laughed and turned around soon her laugh died seeing all there glaring at them)

[Siya there are no ghost, you might have seen hukum wear a mask]

Veer: so gussel prani huh!! (Said while looking at Apeksha straight and putting his hands in pant pockets taking steps towards her slowly like an aggressive lion he is who is looking at his prey)

[So aggressive animal right?]

Ekansh: clever fox ??? (He looked at Akshita coldly and she knows now she is dead when he loosens his tie and open his two collar button taking steps towards her)

Raghav: Gabbar singh raghuvanshi hmmm ???? (Glared at Siya and she is shaking under his glare while he rolled his sleeves and takes slow and steady steps towards her)

Siya: n-n-no a-atu--all-y m-mai.....

Raghav: save it darling we will go through a detail discussion on this in our room let's go. (Saying that he pick her in bridal style and)

Raghav: sorry everyone but we won't be able to come for dinner tonight. Enjoy the meal ( said coldly and Started walking but stand hearing Rohini)

Rohini : p..par Raghav dinner.....Siya han Siya ko bhi bhukh lagi hogi na

[But Raghav dinner... Siya will also get hungry]

Raghav (look at Siya with a look that says dare you say yes): are you hungry?

Menavati: Raghav stop glaring at the poor Child and....

Raghav: sorry to interrupt dadi sa but she is not hungry and if she is then I'm here just to be a chef, I will be that. (Said coldly taunting Siya indirectly.......maybe directly don't know. And went away.)

Ekansh: same with us too. And Sameer along with Shrot today you will handle princess too. (Said and he too pick Akshita in bridal style and start walking without waiting for anyone to say anything )

Veer: and you....

Apeksha started walking even before he can do something but still Veer being Veer throws her on his shoulders and take her to there rooms. While saying

Veer: Sameer take care of prince too.

While all the elder ladies just look at that direction for sometime the at each other and brust in laughing.

Rohini: aab mai 3rd time ya 4th time dadi pakka banugi. Yeses yes (said playfully)

[I'll be a grandma again 3rs or 4th time]

Meera: mai bhi 2nd time dadi banungi wahh kya baat hai. Thoda jaldi hai par chalega. (Said jokingly)

[I'll be a grandma too 2nd time. It's a little early but it's fine]

Menavati: aree Meera par mai toh pakka great grand maa bane vali hu Raghav and siyaaaa..... ahhh yes yes

[But I'll surely be a great grandma.... Raghav and Siya... ahh yes yes yes!]

Sameer looks weirdly at them especially Menavati

Sameer: iss Umar mai iitna Josh dekhaogi na to kuch ho jayega body mai (Whispered to himself)

[At this age having so much excitement might do something to your body]

Menavati: kya kuch kaha tune?

[Did you said something?]

Sameer: Maine nahi toh Maine kuch nai kaha.

[No, I didn't utter a word]

Menavati: thik hai jaa ab jaldi shrot ke sath jaa babies ko le aa

[Okay now go along with Short get the babies]

Sameer: nai aap log mujhe aaj ek baat bata hi do mai aapka pota hu kya iinke baacho ka babysitter

[No, you have to tell me one thing, an I your grandson or your babysitter?]

Menavati: babysitter bs sunn liya ab jaa jaldi

[Babysitter happy I said it now go]

Sameer: maa sa ????

Rohini: maa sa yeh babysitter bilkul bhi aacha kam nai karta mujhe lagta hai isse hame pocket money nai deni chaiye

[Mom, this babysitter is not that good at his work I think we should cut his pocket money]

Sameer runs from there while saying

Sameer: naiiiiii mujhe ek hi Kam aata hai babysitting aur kuch nai. Mere se aacha koi nai karta babysitting. I'm the best babysitter you will ever get.

[No.... I only know one thing that is babysitting. You won't fins a better babysitter than me]
