Your Efflorescence

Part 4

Mahi threw his phone aside and ran into first floor balcony from where he could clearly see the main door. His eyes are like swallow while Sonu is the first raindrop after draughty summer.    Finally he appeared! He's looking so cute, more cute than before, a little heavy in weight. Whatever, why that GG is with him ? And the baby in Sonu's arms ? But he's looking good with a baby. Mahi's overwhelming didn't let him care about the broil happening in the premises.

Virat's Shouting --- "Where did you ran away like a coward Suresh Raina ? Gave birth to this baby right ? So what ? You could reveal that, arey we know many people are hungry with your cuteness, and you too must had fed them like alms. Apna image bachana tha to logon ka bistar garam karke bachcha kiun paida kiye ?"

"SHUT UP VIRAT!! This is my child. And Sonu never did any sin you understand ?" Gauti glared at Virat but announced for everybody's information. All the fellows except Dravid and Yuvi were out of the blue.

Ganguly said -- "Your child ? Gauti ? You two were together ? And you never considered me to inform once! Ki ashchorjyo!!"

"Acha to mr. Gambhir..." Virat teased,  "for this reason you two were disappeared for four years ? Why you feared to let ICT know your love story ? If they could ask for treat... isliye ?" And you Sonu, you're really with this guy ?"

Yuvi: "Yes he is, why are you having problem Chiku ? Two people living in with their own wish, have a baby too and they didn't suppose to announce it for their own wish. So ? Kiske dil me dard ho raha hai ?"

Though the ICT members said nothing but all of them hit Sonu with crooked eyes. One man who was watching everything from balcony couldn't digest the matter that Sonu have baby Gauti and they're living in.

Dravid said, "We can talk later. Let them in first. Come my brothers"

All the ICT members rushed inside before the couple (?) could. Goti stepped inside ICT mansion after long four years with his dear Yuvi, Sonu was also following them but suddenly his eyes gone up on the balcony....

His heartthrob increased with the sudden eye contact. All the courage he collected for tackle left him at a single second. When you meet your dear one after a long time and the person doesn't even blink --- the feeling isn't explainable through words. Mahi's pathetic still eyes with a lot of questions made Sonu the same. His legs trembled with the fear of answering Mahi.

Mahi was in dilemma should he be happy or sad ? Happy for Sonu's happiness and sad for his poor situation with all the players' embarassing questions. He's not jealous at all but why this Sonu hid it from everyone especially him ? Whatever, this isn't the right time for asking, Sonu is already embarassed. He smiled gently to made him feel ease. Sonu too smiled back hesitantly. After a long time Mahi got to see his cute smile.

"Sonu"

Gauti again came outside and took Rickey from him. "Chalo andar, aaja Rickey"

Then went inside holding Sonu's hand.

They let the family stay in a overall furnished room. There's some teddies and toys too for their baby. Before coming in the room Sonu saw the whole mansion is decorated wonderfully for Mahi's engagement......

"Sonu tum door lock karke baitho, mai dada se milke aata hun. Aur koi aake tumhe pareshan kare to mujhe bulana"

Gauti left getting Sonu's positive nod. Rickey was bearing everything silently... finally he got papa alone to blabber his mess.

"Aap pehle yahan lehte te papa ?"

"Haan Rickey, main aur tumhare dad yahin rehte the pehle"

"Tale kiun gaye te ?"

"Kiunki mujhe pata chala tum aanewale ho, so I have to take rest from cricket"

"To...ab to thel takte oo"

"Khelenge naa ? Hum bhi khelenge aur tumhe bhi sikhayenge... tumhe bhi to cricket padsnd hai na ?"

"Haaaaaaannn"

Someone knocked the door. Sonu saw it was Yuvi. Both got emotional hugging eachother. Yuvi kissed Sonu's forehead whose lips were trembling...

"It's ok yaar. Kuch bolne ki jarurat nahi. Tere bete se nahi milayega ?"

"Jarur...." Sonu wiped his eyes.  "Rickey beta, he's Yuvi uncle. Namaste karo"

"Namatte uncle" Rickey folded his little hands.

"Arey mere nanhe sher..." Yuvi lifted Rickey and pampered a lot.

"Muje dar lag raha hai Yuvi bhai" Sonu said worriedly.

"Kis se ?"

"Sawalon se"

"Kisiko tujhe sawal karne ka haq hi nahi hai Sonu, they even don't know about your situation. Aur agar koi sawal puchhe bhi, to tera ye bhai zinda hai yad rakhna. Sabko ek ek chakka maarke uda dunga.... acha tere rajkumar ko main apne saath le jaun ?"

"Haan le jao, but adhe ghante ke andar le aana, khana khilana hai"

"Ok ok"

Yuvi was going out but he saw someone standing before the door looking down. It was Jadeja.

"Kya baat hai Jaddu ?"

He didn't reply to Yuvi, then Sonu came and held his hand.

"Andar aana Jaddu"

Yuvi left after making sure Sonu has no problem with talking to Jad.

The Rajput still not looked at Sonu. He caressed Jad's chin like a baby;

"Bohot gussa hai apne bhai par ?"

"Kaun bhai ? Bhai hota to atleast apne shaadi me bulata mujhe"

"Hahaha... abe pagal!"

"Just joking, but you never considered me as a brother or you would not hide everything from me!"

"Galat mat samajh yaar, mai majboor tha"

"Haan pata hai, warna thodi us aadmi ke sath rehta!"

Sonu started laughing again with Jad's pout --- "kya karu mai tum logon ka!! But you know..... Gauti utna bhi buda nahi hai. He sacrificed enough for me in past four years, and still protecting me"

"Haan ab to Gauti tuje acha lagega hi, tera better half jo ban gaya hai!"

"Tabhi to use deeply jaanne ko mila hai" Sonu smiled, "he's a good human being, but people always judge book by cover..."

"Hmmm... tab to bohot happy tha tu, humari yaad bhi nahi aaya hoga! Mai hi bekaar hum teenon ke bond ko miss karta tha..."

"Jaddu agar maine kisiko sabse jyada miss kiya to wo tujhe yaar! Mere bete ko all time tera aur mera photos dikhata rehta tha puchh lena usse..."

"Haan milna padega tere bete se... kitna pyara bachcha hua hai tera yaar.... but ek baat bolu ? Kuch mind to nahi karega na ?"

Sonu pinched Jad's stomach, "teri baaton se kabse mind karne laga main ?"

"Wo actually... just mujhe lag raha tha.. tera beta na thoda thoda Mahi bhai jaisa dikhta hai..."
