Tears Of Insecurity

Chapter Twelve

Previously -

"I love you too my baby.", Mini said gently kissing his forehead .

"Aur maine kya bigada hai tum dono ka? Mujhe kyu bhool rahe ho bhai?", Jay asked looking offended.

"Nai aapse na mujhe koi baat nahi karni dad, aur naa hi tumse daal makhni Rajawat! Pata nahi kya kya images daal diye mere dimag main.", Pramod said huffing and looking away from both of them.

"Naa yo ke naam de diya manne doctor sahab? Daal Makhni Rajawat? Yo inta handsome sa chora aapko daal makhni dikhai deta hai?", Agni kept a hand on his heart and wiped a non-existent tear out of his eyes. Pramod just showed him his tongue and hugged his mother instead.

Pramod quickly texted Susheela about the change in tomorrow's plan.

*Text message -

Susheela ji, we can meet tomorrow around 5 o'clock in the evening. And don't worry about finding the location, I'm on to that. I'll come to pick you up, be ready in some comfortable clothes.*

Mini dialled Kusum's number, on the second ring she picked up. "Hello Kusum ji, kaisi hi aap? Sorry aapko itni raat ko disturb karne ke liye.", Mini said and put the phone on speaker so all the three curious heads could listen on in too.

"Aree nahi nahi Mini ji, bilkul bhi nahi. Aap boliye kaisi hai aap? Aapko rabdi aur gulab jamun pasand toh aaye na?", Kusum asked politely. In the Ruhail haveli, all except Susheela, were huddled up around Kusum to listen on the conversation between Susheela's mother and her future mother in law.

"Ji main bilkul thik hu. Aur aapne kya rabdi aur gulab jamun banaye the! Jay and Pramod loved them! Aapko mujhe iski recipe deni padegi ab.", Kusum and lot smiled at the appreciation.

"Ji, ji jarur.", Kusum said while Dharampal signed her to start the topic of Susheela and Pramod's marriage but she paid no heed to him.

"Waise mene aapko kuch puchne ke liye call kiya tha. Dharampal ji ko aap phone de sakti hai?", Mini asked on the phone while she glared at her son who was nervously biting his nails. Agni and Jay silently laughed at the situation.

"Haa haa ek minute.", Kusum said and signed Dharampal to talk. Clearing his throat, he answered pretending that him and his family weren't already listening in on the whole conversation.

"Ji ji Mini ji, boliye aapne call kiya itni raat ko? Sab thik toh hai na?", Kusum rolled her eyes at her husband for trying to play if off cool.

"Ji ji bhaisahab sab kuch thik hai. Darasal Pramod Shusheela ko kal bahar le jaana chahta tha. Ab baccho ko shadi se pehele dates enjoy karni chahiye, isiliye aapse permission maang-", Mini was cut off by an over-excited Dharampal.

"Ha ha Mini ji, ismein puchne wali kya baat hai? Ab bacche ek dusre se pyar karte hai aur jald hi shadi karne wale hai toh main unhe kyu rokhunga bhala? Susheela ko bindas le ke jaaiye aap log.", Dharampal stressed on the word 'shadi' so that Mini and her family gets a hint but they didn't.

Pramod looked excited while Agni looked jealous, he huffed and crossed his arms on his chest. 'Waah future father in law, waah! Manne toh aapne yo aisa sab kuch kabhi naa karne diya. Ulta mujhe bhramachari ban ke rehna pad raha hai.', Agni cursed his fate in his mind.

"Waise thoda late ho gaya toh-", Yet again Mini was cut off in between her speech by an over excited Dharampal.

"Koi baat naa hai Mini ji, manne pura bharosa hai doctor sahab par. Jitna time unko ek dusre ke saath bitana hai utna bitaye, aakhir shadi hone wali hai na unki ek na ek din.", Kusum wanted to hit her husband for bringing the topic of marriage in every sentence.
