two stories of marriage

chapter 15

'arre aap baithiye na, toh kya lenge chai , coffee?' she asked as she was already on the halfway to kitchen.

While purvi came out of her room as she had calmed herself down after the fight with her mother.

'di!' she said as she rushed to her sister.

'arre, purvi, kya hogaya..' asked ishita, seeing purvi did indeed miss her more.

'mujhe yaad aa rahi thi aapki...mummy ke saath nahi rehna mujhe!' she complained, as their mother was completely red with embarrassment in front of her son-in-law.

'le jaaye tum hi bhi, phir?' asked dushyant jokingly.

'nahi di ko yahan chod jao na...'

'purvi!'

'kya? jiju toh apne ghar pe hain aaram se, yahan aapko jaana pad raha hai, yeh kya baat hui! Kavin ko apna bhai pasand bhi nahi hai...'

'purvi! Beta, ab hain na ishu do-teen din ke liye, ab chalo, mummy ki help kardo chai banane mein..aap chai piyenge, na?' said their mother with an exaggerated affection you could so tell.

While dushyant nodded in amusement, and purvi said while getting up,

'dekho, ab chai bhi banana padta hai...'

While ishita turned to dushyant as soon purvi left and said,

'i'm so sorry...woh..'

'arre koi baat nahi, kavin bhi aisa hi tha jab main Bangalore gaya tha padhne ke liye...aap log toh phir bhi zyada close ho..' said dushyant with a light chuckle.

'main aur purvi toh kabhi alag rahe hi nahi..' said ishita.

'pata chal raha tha...bharat milaav bhi kya hi hoga iske aage...' remarked dushyant as ishita got up,

'main zara help kara deti hoon, kitchen mein..' she said as dushyant nodded.

He too got up and started to look around, the other times he came, he never really paid that close attention as there was always a job at hand. Suddenly, he got a call.

'kya hua kavin, itni jaldi zaroorat pad gayi...' said dushyant as he received the call.

'arre aisa kuch nahi hai, woh Rajeev ne second quarter ka forecast mail kar diya hai toh dekh lena jab fursat ho.' Informed kavin

'haan woh main dekhlunga, aur baat sun, woh singhania aayega kal parson construction site check karne, aaj jaa kar dekh aayio ki sab time pe ho raha hai ki nahi. I don't want any complaints from singhania..'

'yaar waise singhania ke saath partnership mein karna zaroori tha kya?'

'yaar bada project hai, aur developers humse zyada well-connected hain yeh..'

'hmm, i know..'

'lekin saala khoon bahaut chusta hai!' remarked dushyant and kavin in a union.

'acha, don't worry, bas ek din ki baat hai, baaki toh saath mein torture jhelenge...'

'ok, bye!'

'bye!' dushyant hung up as ishita came with tea and biscuits.

'yeh lijiye, aapki chai.' She said as she served them on the coffee table by the couch.

'thanks, uhm, woh wi-fi connect karna tha zara..' said dushyant as purvi came from back.

'haan lao na, main kardeti hoon!' she said as she put in the password for wi-fi,

'password save kardena..' said dushyant as purvi handed him his phone,

'done!' she said.

'thanks..' said dushyant with a smile which faded away soon as he saw the notification on his phone and ishita knew what it was..
