The 'Un' Attached String

Chapter - 12

Maahir hugged Bulbul very tightly as if he wanted to feel that it was not a dream and he really got to see, got to hold his daughter for the first time ever in his life. He broke the hug and rained kisses on Bulbul's face and said, "I'm sorry... I'm so sorry I was not there with you all the time. I'm really very sorry... Agar mujhe zara sa bhi andaza hota to, main aapko kabhi Canada nehi jaane deta. I missed 8 years of your life." Bulbul wiped Maahir's tears and replied, "Koi baat nehi daddy, main aa gayi hu na. Main yaha se kahi nehi jaaungi, main aaphike paas rahungi." Maahir hugged Bulbul back and said, "Oh mela beta.... Meri baby mere paas hi rahegi, main usko kahi nehi jaane dunga." Madhu came to them and asked, "Saara pyar aaj hi lutaane ka iraada hai kya Maahir? Ghar nehi jaana?" Maahir got up and then held Bulbul's hand and said, "I'm sorry saasumom!! Vo zaraa main..." Madhu put her hand on his shoulder and then replied, "I got it Maahir tumhe mujhe kuch bhi explain karne ki koi zarurat nehi hai. Bas vo kya hai na... maharani to bhaag gayi thi aur airport ki formalities puri nehi hui hai." Maahir assured Madhu, "Don't worry I'll manage!" Just when he was about to leave with them to complete their immigration formalities, Mr. Sen and the two staffs came there with the security people and seeing them, Bulbul hid behind Maahir's back. Maahir replied, "Mr. Sen don't worry I will bear the expenses of all the losses and I'm really very sorry for that." On hearing Maahir apologizing on her behalf, Bulbul came in front and said, "Aap sorry kyu bol rahe ho daddy? Inka instruments to maine tode hai aur pata hai kya they deserve it." Bulbul folded the sleeves of her dress and then put her hands on her waist and continued, "In logo ne apni office ke bahaar ye bare bare fonts mein likhwa kar rakkha hua hai HELP DESK par jab main help maangne gayi aur maine aapke baare mein bataya to ye log mujhpar has rahe the aur aapke aur mamma ke baare mein gossip kar rahe the isiliye maine inke saare instruments mein paani daal diya. Ye log kisiki help hi nehi karte hai to inhe in sab instruments ki koi zarurat nehi hai and I'm not at all sorry for what I have done." The staffs lowered their heads out of embarrassment and Mr. Sen scolded them and seeing that Maahir whispered to Madhu, "Saasumom ye to puri aapki beti par gayi hai. Gundi banaakar rakkha hua hai meri bachchi ko." Madhu replied, "Uff Maahir!! Puttar ye paida hone ke baad se apni ma ko dekhti aa rahi hai to apni ma ki tarah banegi na. Ye zidd mein to apni ma ki amma hai." Maahir made a tensed face and said, "Matlab mujhe abhi ek aur Bela ko sambhaalna parega? Oh c'mon saasumom, pehle maine aapki beti ki baby sitting ki hai aur abhi dubaara se... I mean meri bachchi hai, mera kya usko kuch bhi nehi mila?" Madhu felt very sorry when she found Maahir pouting and pulled his cheeks and replied, "Haww!! Teri kudi na bilkul teri tarah pout karti hai aur ek aur cheez mili hai na usko tujhse, tere hasne par jo tere gaalo mein jo pyaare pyaare gaddhe aate hai vo bhi miley hai usko aur phir abhi to tere paas rahegi thora apne jaisa bana dena usko par puttar sach baat batau, tum miyan biwi ki life mein jo siyappa chal raha hai na uske liye aisi gundi type ki Bulbul ki hi zarurat hai." Maahir made a face and then again apologized on Bulbul's behalf and took them away from there for completing their immigration formalities. After completing all the formalities, Bulbul said to Maahir, "Daddy mujhe bhukh lagi hai." Madhu was shocked and asked, "Abhi to flight mein thori der pehle hi breakfast kiya hai na tune?" Bulbul replied, "Abhi jo itni saari daud bhaag ki hai maine sab kuch digest ho gaya hai na, to mujhe phir se bhukh lag gayi." Madhu was confused and asked, "Itni jaldi?" Bulbul angrily replied, "Aap na bilkul Count Dracula ke tarah sound kar rahi ho naani. Vo bhi bilkul aise hi bolte hai." On hearing this Maahir said, "Iska kya matlab hua? Saasusom aapke husband meri bachchi ke khaane par bhi nazar daalte hai? Hadh hoti hai yaar!! Mujhe kabhi chain se nehi rehne diya aur meri beti ke saath bhi aisa hi kar rahe hai vo. Ye kya baat hui?" Bulbul was smiling showing all her teeth and said, "You're so sweet daddy!" Maahir pulled Bulbul's cheek and replied, "You too mera bachcha!" Madhu made a face and replied, "Puch mat yaar in dono baap beti se to main khud pareshaan hu. Abhi chal isko thora khila dete hai, maine bhi abhi tak ek dhang ki coffee nehi pee hai." Maahir took them to the airport restaurant to make Bulbul have some food.
