Author's POV
Place - Delhi
At Maheswari house
Devika and vikram sat together in the garden which is present in their house, enjoying their living tea, a familiar scene yet one that never failed to stir a sense of warmth. There was a comfort in their shared silences, in the way they moved around each other as if their lives had always been woven together by an invisible thread.
The phone rang sharply, cutting through the calm of the evening. Vikram glanced at the screen, then picked it up with a weary smile. It was Abhimaan call's.
"Hello Abhi. " Vikram voice came through, warm and familiar.
" Hello vikram, hum sab parso means Saturday ki morning delhi aa rahe hai. " Abhimaan said and vikram's smile widened as he leaned back in his chair, feeling the weight of the call settle into his chest.
( we will come to delhi on Saturday morning. )
" Acha, vo thik h but aap log waha humare ghar kab aayoge. " Vikram asked Abhimaan in a curious tone.
( Aacha, that's fine but when will you come home? )
" Waha hum sunday ko aayenge duphar me." Abhimaan said in an excited tone.
( There we will come on Sunday in the afternoon. )
" Okay or sab aa rahe h na matlab sab log tumare family se. " Vikram asked in a little worried tone.
( Okay or everyone is here i mean everyone from your family.)
" Haa, sab aa rahe h. " Abhimaan said in a teasing tone knowing very well for whom he is asking about and continues " Okay chalo main baad me baat karta hu. bye take care."
( yes, everyone is here. )
( Okay, i will talk to you later. bye.)
" Alright bye take care." Abhimaan nodded even though abhimaan couldn't see him. and cut the call. As he hung up, he glanced toward his right where his wife, devika, is sitting on another chair, her eyes already filled with curiosity.
" Abhi's family is coming on sunday at our house. Like we went to their place. " he said, his voice carrying a quiet anticipation.
" Suddenly. " Devika asks her husband, raised an eyebrow, puzzled. thinking why they are coming home suddenly.
It's not like that she has a problem that they are coming, it's just she asks in curiosity that why they are coming. Cause it's been 3 weeks. they came to delhi and they are talking through phone but they didn't mention coming here even today when devika talk to meera. She didn't say that they are coming here.
" Aree kl jab meri or abhi ki baat ho rahee toh maine usse puch liya tha ki vo kab yha aa rha h sab ke sath. Toh usne kha tha vo sab se baat karke btayaga toh bta dia ki yeh sab aa rahe hai." he said casually, a flicker of mischief in his eyes. And thinking of their last conversation.
( yesterday, we was talking. So, i ask him when he and his family are coming here about, I asked him when he came here with everyone. So he told me that after talking to everyone, he told me that when everyone is coming. )
" Magar me un sab ke liye kya bnaungi hum waha gye the toh meera bhabhi aur shree ne humare liye proper Rajasthani khana bnaya tha aur vo bhi apne hath se bnaya tha ab main kya bnau unke liye." Devika said her voice tinged with curiosity, and vikram chuckled at her cute action and then smiled.
( Ohh okay, But what should i cook for all of them? When we went to their house Meera sister-in-law and Shree made proper Rajasthani food for us with their own hand and now what should i cook for them. )
" you can cook anything, you make everything tasty." Abhimaan said his voice was warm with affection.
Devika rolled her eyes playfully and headed inside to make dinner, a smile tugging at her lips. Vikram watched her go, his heart lifting at the thought of his friend and familiar faces.
After some time, devika calls him in for dinner, vikram sat on his chair, arjun also came behind him and sat on his chair, devika also came from the kitchen and sat on her chair, and start serving them dal, rice, sabzi and roti, then serve herself.
" Devika, aaj bhi isha nhi aayi abhi tak. " Vikram asked devika for her daughter.
( Devika, even today Isha has not come yet.)
" Nhi, usne mujhe message kar dia tha ki vo aaj bhi late hogi or maine ushka khana rakh dia h ab tum bhi kha lo. " Devika said knowing Vikram didn't like eating without his daughter.
( No, she had messaged me that she would be late today too and I kept the food for her and Now you also eat.)
He just hummed and started eating, this is like their dinner went and then they went to their room and sleep.
At sunday morning
" Vikram vo mera call nhi utha rahee hai ab kya karu vo log aa jayenge kuch der me or yeh ladki ka pta hi nhi kaha h uper se call bhi nhi pick kar rahee h. " Devika said in an irritated and angering tone cause she has been calling isha since morning but she is not picking anyone's call.
( Vikram, she is not picking up my call. What should I do now? They will come in some time and I don't know where this girl is from. On top of that, she is not even picking up the call. )
" Devika, shant vo ishika beta ke sath hi hai na toh usko call kar lo vo baat kara degi isha se karo. " Vikram said trying to calm her down.
( Devika, calm down, she is with Ishika's daughter, so call her, she will make you talk to Isha.)
But before she called ishika, they heard a voice, they turned towards the door and see ishika is coming inside the house and stand in front of them.
" Good morning aunty, good morning uncle." Ishika greeted them in her sweet and lovely voice.
" Ishu bachhe, tum yha ho toh isha kha h main kab se usko call kar rahee hu bo call hi pick nhi kar rahee h. " Devika asked in tensed voice.
( Ishu child, you are here, then where is Isha, I have been calling her for a long time, she is not picking up the call.)
" Aunty vo isha ko prisha ka call aaya tha jish waje se vo apni firm chale gyi thi subhe hi. " Ishika said to them and puzzled thinking what happened to them, why are they asking for her and continue " But hua kya h aunty aap itni tension me kyu ho kuch hua h kya aap mujhe btao na. "
( Aunty, Isha had received a call from Prisha due to which she had gone to her firm early in the morning.)
( but What happened Aunty, why are you so tense? What happened? Tell me.)
" Ishu dii, hua yeh h ki aaj ghar par papa ke friend and unki family aane wali h or di ko pta nhi h or vo log jab aayenge toh vo di ka barame puchenge ki vo kha h or vo log kuch hi der me aa jayenge toh mummy ko tension ho rahee thi ki vo kha h kyuki unko nhi pta ki aaj ghar pr koi aa bhi rha h."Arjun said while coming down from stairs. And continue "Or abhi jab hum unke ghar gye the tab bhi vo di ke barame puch rhae the. "
( ishu di, what happened is that today Papa's friend and his family are coming to the house or di don't know that they are coming and when they come, they will ask about di or they will come in a little while here. Mummy was worried that she didn't know where was di and dii didn't know that anyone was coming at home today.)
( And when we went to their house recently, they were asking about the dii. )
" Aunty isme itne tension leni ki konsi baat h ab aap ko pta chal gya h na ki vo uski firm me h or aap tension mat lo main abhi uske office me jati hu or usko leke aati hu unke aane se phle isha ghar pr hogi." Ishika said and left for the isha office.
( Aunty, what is the point of taking such tension when you come to know that she is in her firm and you don't have to take tension, I am going to the isha office and i will bring her here before they arrive.)
" Mummy, aap kitna tension kyu le rahee ho bo log didi ko dekhne thodi aa rahe h bss mile toh aa rahe h na tab tak didi aa jayagii, okay? " Aujun said in teasing tone and vikram chuckled.
( Mom, why are you taking so much tension? Those people are not coming to see Didi, they are just coming to meet her. By the time they arrive, Didi will be here, okay? )
" Aree devu, tum shant raho sab thik hoga or main abhi ko call kar ke puch lata hu ki vo kab tak aa rahe h. " Vikram said trying yo calm her wife.
( Devu, you stay calm, everything will be fine and I'll call Abhi and ask him when he's coming. )
" Vese tum mujhe yeh btao tum unlogo ko na airport se lene gye or na hi unke palace se jo delhi me h, aise acha nhi lagta ki hum unko address bhej de or laina na jaye unhone bhi toh humare liye unka driver bheja tha na. vikram! " Devika asked and raised an eyebrow.
( Well, you tell me, you neither went to pick them up from the airport nor from their place in Delhi. It doesn't look good that we just send them the address and don't go to pick them up. After all, they had also sent their driver for us, right? - Vikram. )
" Aree devu, abhi ne mujhe mana liya tha or kha tha ki hum khud aa jayenge or mujhe pareshna hone ki jarurat nhi h or me unhe bss address bhej du toh maine bhej dia
ab 2 min ruko mujhe call kar lene do abhi ko. " Vikram said and was about to call abhi but before he call him, a call came on his phone.
( Devu, he had told me that they would come themselves and that I don't need to worry, and I should just send them the address, so I sent it. Now, wait for 2 minutes, let me make the call to Abhi. )
" Abhi ka hi ha. " Daid Vikram while smiling and he pick up the call.
( it's abhi call. )
" Hello vikram, Hum bss raste me hi pochne wale h. " Abhimaan said as soon as vikram pick up the call.
( Hello Vikram, we are just about to reach the way. )
" Aacha okay aa jao jaldi. " Vikram said and cut the call." Vikram said and cut the call.
( Okay, fine, come quickly. )
" Devu, vo aane hi wale h, tum dekh lo kuch karna h toh baki isha aa jayagii jaldi ishu gyi h na vo le aayagii. " Vikram said and anyone can see the excitement in his tone.
( Devu, they are about to arrive. You check if you need to do anything, and Isha will come soon, ishu will bring her. )
And After a while, many cars arrived at Maheshwari house. Three cars entered the Maheshwari house, and the rest stayed parked outside. Then, from one car, Ranvijay and Geetanjali got out, from another car, Abhimanyu and Meera got out, and from a third car, Abhimaan and Shree got out.
Vikram, Devika, and Arjun were standing at the gate, and Devika had aarti thali in her hand.
Then they all came to the gate where Vikram and his wife were standing.
( "Look, I don't know about you, but in our house, this is how guests are welcomed, so I wrote this as well." )
Then, Devika performed the aarti for everyone, applied tilak, and then everyone hugged each other. Arjun touched the feet of everyone and take blessings.
Then everyone went to the living area and sat down, and they all started talking.
A maid came, served water to everyone, and also placed some snacks before leaving.
" Abhi, didn't Veer, Avi, and Rana saa come with you? But You had said that everyone was coming, then what about them? " Vikram asked in curisity not seeing them.
"See, I told you, Maa sa, that I had said not to let them go, but they didn't listen to me. Now, see, they still haven't arrived." Meera complain about them to geetanjali who in return just chuckled and meera poured her lips. Vikram and devika just listening them silently not understanding them.
"Meera they will come. I had spoken to them, they are about to arrive, they on the way." Abhimanyu said in a calm tone.
" Shiv, veer, avi and dhruv had gone to the Delhi office, and they will be here in just a little while." Abhimaan said clearing their doubts and Vikram nodded.
" But Vikram, where is Isha? She's not here today, and she didn't come with you that day either. Where is she today? Did we do something wrong that she doesn't want to meet us? " Abhimaan asked to vikram and vikram and devika turn to each other.
"Hey, no, no, nothing like that. Actually, she had a sudden meeting today, so she went to the office. She'll be here as soon as she's done." Vikram said snd laugh uncomfortably.
" Okay, okay, fine. " Abhimaan said and they start talking again.
Then, after a while, Shiv, veer, avi and dhruv arrived. Devika performed the aarti, applied tilak to everyone, and then they all joined in.
A little while later, Shivansh received a call, so he went to the garden to talk.
Everyone was talking when suddenly a loud noises came from the dining area. Devika went there, and after 2-3 minutes, everyone else alsi followed Vikram to see what was happening. When they went there, they stood frozen, watching the scene.
