chapter 37

One Year Later"No, I can't give you this permission. It will be better if you stay here. Got married like your friends. Live happily. " Amma announced with bigger eyes.She was sitting on the sofa with a tea cup , sipping the morning tea. Raghav and Pallavi were sitting right to her. "But Amma, Mai...I don't want to get married. I want to improve myself more.I really want to go Mumbai.Please. Amma." Kirti chuckled softly kneeling down to her. She didn't respond much and looked at her son."Raghav, Dekho. Ye Pagal Ladki Kya Bol Rahi Hai. Kuch Samjho Use. Pallavi,Kuch Bologe Yaa...""Amma, Kirti Ne Hume Ye Baat Pehle Hi Bata Diya Hai Aur Hum Chahte Hai Ki Woh Mumbai Jai..Voh Vahi Kare Jo Woh Karna Chahti Hai..." Pallavi responded."Hn, Amma. Mereko Mera Chota Sa Kirti Pe Pura Trust Hai. Voh Mumbai Wala Branch Ko Achhe Se Manage Karegi.Pehele Mai Bhi Aap Ka Jaisa Soch Ta Tha Par Kirti Ka Talent Aur Experience Dekh Ne Baad Mai Chahta Hun Voh Aur Age Jai. Jayati Jwellery Ki Board Of Directors Bhi Chahte Ki Woh Branch Kirti As CEO lead kare. Please Amma. Aap Man Jao." Raghav too knelt down close to his sister and requested.The old lady looked at both her children with hopeful eyes and felt a little proud from inside."Achha, Thik Hai. But Tu Mereko Har Day Call Karega Aur Weekend Pe Bhi Ayega...Bol ? Promise me ?" She was emotional till now.Both siblings smiled at a time and answered "Hmm Amma. "Pallavi was smiling on her own, sitting on her place. She was really happy. She knew what type of girl kirti is. It's not like she never had a relationship but that didn't work for her. She was determined to build her own identity expect Raghav Rao 's sister. That's why she left Raghav's business first but when she got to know about his change. When she knew about Raghav 's shocking decision of a true start, she knew that her brother needed her in his new journey. She left her former job and joined Raghav's Business.It's not smooth for Raghav Rao to reach where he is now. Though it's not big as before still it's sufficient for his family and himself. In this one year, A lot of things have been changed he went through a lots of ups and downs but... But thanks to this two powerful women in his life to support him to again stand straight. He realised then how he ignored thier talent in those years because of his ego. Kirti had a good understanding in fund managing and accounting while Pallavi found to be too good in marketing and sales. They helped Raghav a lot to grow his business again. Today as there brand is going to lunch it's third store in Mumbai. Though Raghav knew that he can handle all of them, still when he heard about his sister's wish to go there. He became so happy for this. He had done the paper work too. All he is waiting for Rakhi to give her. Hn !! She will be extremely happy. Right ? But this Rakhi, he is going to miss someone surely. His Farhad. Kirti too. When will he get up ? ***************************She was sitting beside him, silently. The same way she has been sitting since a year , spending her sad days within this room. Seems like she has decided ultimately this person her world. Months passed but still the situation was same. Hn , she couldn't deny that she had seen him shaking his fingers or lips a little but that remained limited to that. She had once had a dream of becoming a famous model but right now,all she thinks about sharing her pain,her frustrations with that person she madly love with. Yes, this person lying there silently without any response for her great sacrifice is the one who teach her about love. She went against her will, her dream for him. And look at this man, he is still lying. Hn, they have shifted Farhad to RR Mension. Though Raghav wanted to keep him in hospital for best care but somehow he too felt Amruta's dedication towards him. She wanted to be with him and he has no right to separate him from her. So he too agreed for it. They have even appointed a nurse for him but Amruta denied for that too. She is taking care of him. Hn, sometimes Pallavi and Amma too helped her.But after all of this, her dark exhausted eyes have a hope a faith that he will woke up. Definitely woke up and thank her."Amruta, tum ? Tum Abhi Tak Nehi Soyi.  Tum So Jao. Mujhe Thoda Der Farhad Ke Paas Baithna Hai.." Pallavi requested her placing her fingers on her shoulder comforting her."Thik Hai. Magar Kuch Jarurat Ho Tho Mujhe Bulana." She got up and walked.Pallavi sat beside him on the same place where Amruta had a few minutes ago. She leaned a little to make him hear her words. She knew that he can hear everyone."Farhad,  Tumhe Dekh Raha Hai Amruta. Inti Dukhi Hai Woh. Salo Ho Gaya Usko Haste Hue Dekha Nehi. Please, Uth Jao. Sab Tumhara Intjar Kar Rahe Hai. Farhad, Pata Hai Kal Kya Hai. Rakhi. Kirti Ko Kal Bahat Dukh Hoga Raghav Ko Akele Rakhi Bandthe Hue Aur Mujhe Bhi. Pata Hai Jab Mai Pehele Ish Ghar Mai Ayi Thi Sayad Tum Akele Ase Insaan The Jespe Mai Trust Karti Thi, Tabhi Mai Tumko Apna Chota Bhai Maan Liya Tha.Maine Sochha Hai Kal Mai Tumko Rakhi Bandhungi. Kya Tum Mujhe Koi Gift Nehi Dena Chahte? Please, Uth Jao. Mai Bass Eahi Chalti Hun Mai... Please.🥺" There were tears in her eyes. Then she heard someone calling her. She stood up to go away but when she was leaving she felt like someone grabbed her hand from back..."Farhad ??" She turned but before she call anyone else her vision started blurring. Her head twirling and she felt down loosing her sense.*************************She struggled inside her to gather her sense back. When she opened her eyes , everyone were standing around her bed. She noticed she was in her bedroom. Hn ?? What happened to her? Why she got fainted suddenly? She remembered she had a little weakness from few days but that maybe due to work pressures. But fainting ?"Pallavi, Kaisa Hai Tum. Thanks " Amma leaned forward and caressed her head softly.Hn ? Why Thanks ? She didn't do anything. Right ?Kirti was looking extremely excited and happy. Amruta had an overwhelming sweet smile which she was seeing after so long. Hn !! What happened suddenly ? "Kirti, Mujhe Kya Hua Tha. Aur Sab Itna Khus Kyn Lag Rahe Hai ?" She asked innocently.Amruta and kirti sat placing her in middle and shouted in chorus " We are going to be Aunties... Hurre. Mai Bua Ban Jaungi. Aur Mai Mausi..." Pallavi couldn't believe her luck. Seriously !! She had wished this dream to come true a long time before. Finally , she is pregnant. She couldn't hold her tears. They started falling in happiness.Kirti didn't allow her to leave the bed.  Both girls went to downstairs to arrange for dinner.But Where is Raghav ? He hasn't visited her till yet ? She is literally dying to tell him this news. She thought placing her hand over her saree just above the stomach."Pallavi, Amma..Amma Bola.." He couldn't complete his words and run. He run to hugged her softly. "Hn Raghav, Hum Mummy Papa Ban Jayenge...Ek Chota Sa Ladki Ayegi.." She described with smiles.Raghav cupped her face softly and kissed on her forehead. He caressed her head a little and thanked her for this surprised gift. He couldn't describe how happy he is? He felt like he will fly right away."But Tera Ko Kan Bola Ladki Hai ? Doctor? ""Nehi... Mujhe Lagta Hai. Ladka Hoga Tho Jarur Tumhare Tarah Hoga Aur Ek Raghav Rao Kafi Hai. Do Do Manage Nehi Hoga Mujhse.. Are Baapa. Woh Phir Don Naa Ban Jaye...""But Mujhe Ladka Chahiye. Ek Chota Raghav Rao.""Ese Kese. Ladki... ""Nehi...Nehi..Tum Dekhna Ladka Ayega..."The fight topped to its peak and finally decided for a family voting.So there were four persons in the house including helper Rajan. Amma and kirti supported Pallavi. They knew how difficult is to brought up a kid like him ; arrogant, rude , naughty and dangerous. Amruta and Rajan went with Raghav.So it was going to be a tie. Though it was just for fun, still Raghav badly wanted to win. Oh, Why didn't someone move from that side? When both were arguing in thier room after the results, there a voice came"Mai Bhabhi Ke Side Mai Hun. Aur Aap Jeet Geye." Both turned a saw Farhad was saying this with a smile. He was awoke,he could talk. He could call them. He could move his hands... Only sitting on a wheelchair. Amruta was behind him. She was smiling and telling them how miraculously he woke up and call everyone after seeing Pallavi fainted in front of him. They too didn't believe until they saw. Doctor has told he will be fine slowly and started walking.Both of them run to Farhad and hold his both hands. Raghav knelt and hugged him crying."Anna, Kuch Vhi Karko Mai Bhabhi Ke Side Hi Rahunga..." He told crying close to his ears."Farhad...Kyn Itna Der Kiya. Yarr. Hn ?? Pata Hai Maine Kitna Wait Kiya Tera...Aur Bhabhi Ka Chamcha?? Pagar Kat Dega Mai Tera..." He cried  almost giggling. Amruta and Pallavi were standing beside looking at them, with thier wet eyes.                  **   THE END **Thanks for reading this book.  It's not the ending just. More books to come.
