Part  9

Joshi family left for Gadhchiroli next day and became busy in wedding preparations. One month passed very quickly and the wedding date came near. Sai and Virat was now comfortable with talking over on phone and watsapp. Sai still avoided calling him often. They just messaged each other. Though he talked very less but Sai was happy with whatever interaction she had with him.

One night Sai was sitting with her parents. Alka was applying oil in her hair and Kamal was making tea for them. They were enjoying and laughing on random jokes, talking about wedding preparations and all, in short they were enjoying their family time.

Kamal Joshi brought tea for them. He offered one cup to Sai when Sai's phone rang. She was surprised to see it was from Virat. She immediately got up excused herself as she started to go. Kamal kept calling her to stop or at least take the tea cup with her but she said its Virat's call and almost ran inside her room slamming the door the shut behind her.

Kamal kept looking at her direction longingly. Alka saw him and took the tea cup from his hand.

"What happened? Yoon achanak kis soch mein pad gaye aap?" Alka asked gesturing him to sit in front of her so that she can apply oil to his hair.

"Nothing, was wondering our daughter has changed a lot. She never use to refuse my tea previously as its her favourite but today Virat's call came and she just went away. She didn't even look back at me." Kamal said as he sat in front of Alka.

"She is young and going to be married soon, at such times girls have so many things going on in their head. And after all it was Virat's call. She needs privacy to talk to him." Alka explained as she took oil in her hands.

"But did I ever stop her from talking to Virat? And she is going to be with him forever in few days. So she should spend all of her time with us till then." Kamal complained like a kid. He knew he is being unreasonable but he couldn't help being a possessive father.

"Look at you, all grumpy. Are you jealous from Virat?" Alka laughed as she applied oil on his hair.

"May be a little" Kamal confessed.

"Seriously? Stop being so dramatic. Whats there to feel jealous?" Alka asked as she started massaging his scalp.

"Why shouldn't I? My little doll who till now never missed my tea and our family time now gives priority to Virat's call over us. Remember how Sai used to take my side whenever we used to fight." Kamal remembered Sai's childhood days.

"Ya, how can I ever forget that. She used to be baba's chamchi always." Alka taunted and herself relived few memories of Sai's childhood.

"That day in Mumbai, when Shonali was questioning Virat's intention, Sai took his side in the same way. I was her hero till now but I guess Virat has replaced me." Kamal was emotional as he remembered how Sai used to look at him with admiration.
