Chapter 29: Farewell

Start from the beginning
                                    

Sunil saw the scattered body of the cat and Mimzi was like his daughter. He was in the tough situation and he dialled their colony watchman to bury the cat. The scatters of the cat was picked by Jagga, the watchman and Payu insisted it should be buried in their verandah. She stood there with Sunil till Mimzi got her royal funeral. Now Sunil too could not control his emotions. He hugged his daughter tight and explained to her that death and life are unpredictable. Mimzi was their pet and dear to them. But she was destined to have a tragic end. At a stage, she has to live either without her Papa or Mummy. God forbid! Payu was restless and sobbing uncontrollably. She kept her index finger on her Papa's lips.

She yelled:

"I will never talk to you if you say such things, Papa."

She ran inside the home. Sunil ran behind her and he too had tears in his eyes.

"Papa can't see his baby crying. I know we have lost our love and it is painful. But don't get upset. Roshi is waiting for you." Sunil kissed Payu and asked her to relax for sometime. She was feeling better now when he gave her a cup of Bournvita to boost her mind. She dressed up and put some make-up. Sunil held her hands and dropped her to the Engagement venue.

A lot of time passed and Pinky's mother shouted at Sunil. She called him an irresponsible husband. Sunil could not explain to her that they had lost their cat. He was trying to tell her but his voice choked.

With a heavy heart, he drew towards Bajaj's clinic. Pinky ran towards him as soon as she saw him. Sunil was scared now. He was worried whether another bad news was awaited.

"I want to attend Roshi's engagement but Mamma is saying no. "

"Oh Pinky, chill we will go but let's see Mr Bajaj," Sunil insisted.

"Pinky Malhotra," the receptionist called ...

She turned red and yelled

"Pinky Malhotra is my maiden name. Call me Pinky Sunil Mahavansi. "

Sunil giggled and he forgot his pain now. His wife is a crack-pot, he pondered.

"OK Sunil Whatever," the receptionist remarked with a frown on her face.

" What is your name?" Pinky asked the receptionist with a fake smile...

" Neelima Sharma," said she.

" Miss Neelima Whatever, My name is Pinky Sunil Mahavansi and not Pinky Sunil Whatever..." Pinky rolled her eyes and Sunil pulled her towards the doctor's chamber.

He turned and yelled: " Sorry madam."

He moved his index finger on the side of this head like a bullet point and his action indicated that Pinky is a mad female.

Receptionist giggled and showed him a Thums Up sign.

Dr Bajaj took Pinky inside his check up room. After some time he came out and asked Sunil to take good care of her. He nodded his head while the doctor scribbled something and asked the nurse to explain.

" Pinky Madam, you are not supposed to eat things like mangoes, Papaya or extra hot or spicy things. No excess sweets or drinks." The nurse explained but she was continuously looking at Sunil and drooling at him.

" Mam am I also supposed to not eat these fruits or avoid drinks. By the way, I take drinks once in a blue moon, when in a good mood and ..." Sunil was teasing and behaving flamboyantly with the nurse to make Pinky jealous...

Pinky kicked his foot and the nurse giggled.

They left the clinic and Sunil dropped his MIL home. He was smart enough to make his mother in law change her decision. Pinky wore another new saree and Sunil could not take his eyes from Pinky.

Kya dekhte ho

Surat Tumhari

Kya Chahte Ho

Chahat Tumhari

Na Hum jo Keh de

Kehna Sakogi...

The song played on the radio. Now, Sunil was extra careful while driving. His lifeline was sitting next to him. He did not glare at her but she was looking at him. He could see that from the corner of his eyes and that put a dimpled smile on his face.

"Caught you," he said with a pleasant smile

"Caught you," he said with a pleasant smile.

" Love you," Pinky said in a lip sync.

It did not seem that they fought yesterday on silly things. There was no ego in their relationship. They were in a relationship from the last 23 years. Married for 20 years and yet live and cheerful.

Love was always a fresh flower;

A sprinkle of water;

Love was always a rhythm of music;

A feeling that was fantastic;

Love was always an ice-cream;

A beautiful dream;

Love was always a deep feeling;

A pleasant healing...
