The Replacement

ch-39

We sat outside on waiting area and in some time we sa doctor was taking Dada Hukum towards operation theatre.

I hold his hand stared walking with them, We reached to other floor by lift and I look at Dada Hukum and tears was threatening to come out of my eyes but I composed my self and said come soon I am waiting.

He look with lots of love and with my few words he understood my turmoil and said I will my son I will he press my hand little as promise.

He look towards shipra and said take care of him for me please.

She smile and said I will take care of him for you and for me too don't worry.

Dada Hukum had a proud smile hearing this from her mouth. He give me last look and ask doctor to take him inside.

We all sat outside the operation theatre waiting for Dada hukum.

In some time I felt someone hold my hand and I look to my side and saw shipra was sitting with cup of coffee.

"I know you don't need this but trust me you will feel little better after this. Have some" She said in one go with little smile.

I shake my hand and said I only have.. "Black coffee I know, it's the one you like it" Before I complete my sentence she finished it.

I raise my eyebrows and shocked was visible on my face, and again she reply before I ask, "I told you hukum I know many thing about you" Said with her dimple smile.

I took the cup and look directly in her eye & said "Thank you" I am genuinely thankful today. Today she prove how deserving she is to be the queen. She know how to handle the situation without any damage.

Oh come-on Dear Husband you can thank me later. This is not the time and place for this.

She spoke this so innocently but I took her words other way and said "of course I will thank you later my way Dear wife".

Hearing this her cheeks heat up in embarrassment and said "No I mean I didn't mean like that I was just saying you don't have to thank me" She said slowly so only I can hear this and look down while saying this.

"I know" I said and hold her and close my eyes. Her touch give me peace of mind.

After four hours later doctor come out, I rush to him and asked, how's Dada Hukum Doctor?

Operation was successful he is out of danger but still we need to wait till he wake up, He said.

"Can I see him"? Not right now Mr Raghuvanshi i will keep him under observation for 24 hrs, and he won't wake up any soon either so I would suggest you all go home and rest little. We will inform you once he is up. Saying that he left.

I rub my face with my palm and felt little relief.

I look towards everyone and said "you all please go home I will let you know once he is up"

"No shivay you look tired you and everyone go home I will be here with Karan". Dai Jan Said "Anyways its been long I don't know what's going on in gudh so this way I will have some gossip as well. What do say karan? Dai Jan ask looking at Karan".

Absolutely Dai Jan you have no idea what all is going on and since you shifted here I don't have anyone to share anything. He whines like a child.

I huff and said fine I will be back in few hours and then I stay in the night and I don't want any argument in this. I declared.

They all nod in agreement.

I went to Baba Sa and Said "amm Baba sa do you mind if drop Shipra later'? For me asking permission was kind of new thing still I manage to ask politely.
