Part 18

Devaki just smiled looking towards his phone & kept it back. Suddenly Amit woke up.

"Aap uth kyu gaye.? " She asked.

"Mujhe Adv Nigam ko ek E-mail bhejna tha.. " He said.

"Kal bhej dijiye.. Aap aise nind me kaha kuch type kar payenge. " Devaki suggested.

"No no.. Type kiya hua hai.. Drafts me hai.. Tum bhej do na unhe plz. " Amit Said & again dozzed off.

Devaki sighed & took his laptop.

"Aho iska password.. " Devaki asked but he was sleeping.

'Kya hoga.? ' She thought.

She tried some random things like 'password' or '12345678' but it didn't worked.

'Mera naam hoga.? ' She thought. 'Let's try.. Yeh last chance hoga'

She typed her full name 'Devaki Amit Mudgalkar'. Next second laptop accepted the password & welcomed her. A smile came on her lips as she saw her photo on Wallpaper.

She send that Email to Adv. Nigam & was about to close the laptop when her gaze fell on a folder. It was named as 'my love'. Out of curiosity she opened that folder & found innumerable photos of herself. Most of them were unknown to her.

Some tears gathered in her eyes.

'Pata nai kya chal raha hai inke dimag me.. Agar itna pyar karte hai mujhse toh batate kyu nai.. Jatate kyu nai. ' She said to herself.

Next day Everyone were eating breakfast. As usual the whole environment was quiet.

"Baba aaj wo sight pe aayenge na aap.? " Rohit asked.

"Rohit.. Tumhe engineer kisliye banaya hai..? Taki wo sara buisness tum dekh sako.. Toh ab dekho.. Har baar kya mujhe yaad karte ho.? " Narayan said.

"Ok. " Rohit looked away.

Sumedh giggled a little. Rohit made a face.

"Baba.. Sumedh ko kuch batana hai aapko.. " Amit said.

Sumedh became alert.

"Kya.? " Sumedh asked. "Mujhe kya batana hai.? "

"Wahi.. Jo kal tumne hame bataya.? " Amit said.

"Haan.. Bilkul.. Batao. " Rohit said.

"Baba ko already pata hai. " Sumedh smiled looking towards Baba.

Amit suddenly became serious after hearing that. Rohit rolled his eyes.

"Haan.. Hum aaj hi Aarushi ke ghar jayenge.. Aur Amit.. Tum aur Devaki bhi chalo. " Narayan said.

"Baba .? Aap maan gaye.? " Amit asked in disbelief.

"Haan beta.. Kyu nai.. Agar dono ek dusre se pyar karte hai toh harj hi kya hai.? Aur.. Aarushi acchi ladki hai " Narayan said.

"Accha..? Acchi ladki hai ab wo.. Kal tak toh aapko bilkul pasand nai thi.. Ghar ki aurato ko bigadne wali thi na wo..? " Amit asked.

"Amit.. Tum Adv. Nigam ko sath me leke kya kar rahe ho yeh hamse chhupa nai hai.. " Narayan said. "Tum ghar me reh ke aisa kar sakti ho.. Toh Aarushi ko ghar me lane me hame kya harj hoga.? Tumhe seh rahe hai.. Use bhi seh lenge.. Mere bete ke khushi ke liye.. "
