Mahiraa: The untamed love

Chapter 7

It was early in the morning at Poddar House and everyone had woken up. It was the same early morning rush everywhere. Some Husbands called for their wives, some were busy wishing goodbye some wives were busy with the tiffin while some were busy searching God knows what. After some time Armaan and Abhira both tagged along with the chorus gang went to their respective ways. Since they had to drop their 4 adopted adults first they both started leaving half an hour early.

When almost all working men left the house, it was left with women working peacefully in the kitchen and Dadisa gracefully sitting in the drawing room reading the newspaper.

Suddenly a knock was heard that caught dadisa's attention.

"Vidya jara dekhna kon hai, itni subha subha?" Dadisa called for Vidya who came rushing out.

"Ji maasa.. aap baithiye mai dekhti hu." Vidya said and went to open the door.

"Aap kon? Aayiye?" Vidya asked ever so humbly.

"Ji namaste. Hum kaveriji se milne aye hai." Said an elderly person who was nearly dadisa's age. And in such a raw morning he was still dressed in suit. Judging by his looks he was a definitly a business tycoon.

"Haa aayiye n. Baithiye!" Vidya asked him inside.

When they both came inside. Dadisa folded and kept the paper aside. After some time that she took to recognise the person she said, "Are ayiye aayiye Khanna ji. Namaste! Kahihe kaise aana hua itne dino baad."

Dadisa rose from her seat and asked him to sit.

"Aab kya batau Kaveri ji. Zindagi khatam hoti aa rahi hai, par mushkile khatam nahi hoti." He said while adjusting himself. There was one man in suit beside him, guess he was his PA.

"Kahiye kya madad kr sakte hai hum?" Dadisa asked.

"Kya batau Kaveri ji, fir ek nayi musibat ayi hai." He started wiping the smile off his face completely and seriously. "Wo hua yu ki, aap Kartik ko to janti hi hai. Mera pota. Jawan hai khun garam hai. Thodi shararat krta hai. Uske hato firse gadbad ho gayi, road pe accident ho gya uska to... To uski car 1 aurat se ja takarayi aur ... Aur wahi uski death ho gayi.. mujhe kehte hue bohot dukh hora hai..
Pr problem ye nahi hai. Isse pehele aisi koi bhi choti moti problems ayi to apke firm ne hamari bohot madad ki hai Kaveri ji. Aur aap to janti hi hai, ane wale state elections mai mujhe ticket milne wali hai..

"Kehna kya chahate hai aap Khanna ji? Saaf saaf kahiye." Dadisa said in a monotonous tone.

"Hm. To isi case ke related mera beta aapki firm Gaya tha, rai mangne. Pr waha ki nayi HOD ne use seedha mana kar diya. Yaha tak ki wahase bejjat krke wahase nikalwaya. Mujhe  pata hai Kaveri ji wo aapki Bahu hai, isiliye mai seedha apse Milne chala aya.
Aap janti hai ki Poddar khandan aur Khanna khandan ke kitne purane sambandh hai. Bachi samajh kr use maaf bhi kr diya. Pr ab.."

Dadisa's expression were stoic. She didn't showed a sign of rage but she had a hurricane building up in herself right now. When suddenly she said interrupting the person, "Aap ka case Poddar Firm hi lagega Khanna ji. Ye wada hai apse hamara. Aap case ki sari details yaha rakh kr ja sakte hai."
Vidya who just entered with cups of tea, sensed the rage that beautiful face was trying to hide so perfectly.

When the people left. Dadisa inhaled deeply. Leaned back on the Maharaja sofa and closed her eyes for few moments. As if trying to evaporate the vexation she felt.

Now all the ladies had gathered around with worried expression on their faces. Nobody new what exactly happened. But Vidya got the idea what exactly or who exactly is this all fuss about.
