🌺 JeevanSangini 🌺

Humdard 🚗

Anupama was running behind the girls; she picked up Vritu and slowly took a round with her, and it was when Anuj and Devika entered. Devika was not able to contain her excitement. Anuj looked around and found Anupama in a simple pink cotton saree with her hairs open, spinning in circles with a small girl in her hold. Both were giggling and laughing. She was beaming with morning sun rays. No makeup, nothing yet, she was the most beautiful sight to behold. This was the best Anuj would have asked for. He joyfully added it to his happy memories. After the initial pleasantries with Kmaa and Matu, he took his seat and was extremely pleased seeing her cheerful self fooling around. This was the first time he has seen this side of the otherwise calm and composed demeanor she usually carries.

He thought:

Ae kaash Tujhse yun mulaqat mere ho jaaye

Ki main bann jau subah tere
Aur tu raat meri ho jaaye
Ki main khud ko saunp dun tujhko
Aur tu sogaat meri ho jaaye
Ki main bann jau afsana tera
Aur tu her baat mere ho jaaye

Ae kaash tujhse yun mulaqat mere ho jaaye

Devika rushed towards the girls and joined them in the fun banter.

Anupama asked while rushing behind the girls: Aa gayi Devu, Anuj kab ayenge.

He smiled on hearing his name from her mouth. Has it been so sweet always, or is it her lips that add extra sweetness to it? Devika pointed towards the sitting area while rolling her tongue in her mouth: Wo bhi aa gaye.

Anupama stopped in her footsteps and slowly looked towards the sitting area. She placed Vritu on the floor. She shyly folded both her hands: Jai shri Krishna, main bas abhi aati hun. Anuj came out of his lala land and folded both his hands.

Anupama quickly escaped to her room, and Anuj pouted at Devika. Devika held her ears and mouthed sorry. Anupama came back quickly draped in her simplicity, with all her hair neatly braided.

Matu asked Kmaa: Lagta hai main galat samay pe aa gayi.

KMaa held her hand: Kaisi baatein kar rahi hai aap, aaj bhi ye ghar aur ghar ke log utne hi aapke hai jitne 30 saal pehle the. She introduced Anuj to Matu: Inse miliye ye Anuj Kapadia hai. Humari Anupama ke colege phriend(friend) aur ab saath mein ek projaikt pe kaam bhi kar rahe hain.

Matu nodded affirmatively: Haan inke baarein mein kaun nahi janta. Maine apne bete se bhi kayi baar aapka zikar suna hai.

Anuj looked down in humbleness.

Kmaa signaled towards: Aapne isse pehchana.

Matu shook negatively. KMaa added: Arrey Devu wo apne chownk wale shashi ji ki beti. KMaa called Devika and introduced both of them. They smiled and hugged. They were all chatting with each other. Anupama was in the kitchen packing the lunch for three of them. Anuj's focus was on her in the kitchen only. All three kids were running from here to there.

Anuj was very happy with the vibe around him. A few more students of Anupama's dance class have joined, and now they are playing with Kritika and Vritika. Young girls were more chirpier than the birds in the courtyard. Anupama was rushing in and out of the kitchen. Anuj noticed a very slight frown in her expressions every time she took step with her wounded feet. Suddenly he felt a slight poke on his thigh; it was Nihal: Uncle aap meri fui ko dekh rahe hai.

Anuj gasped: M..m.main nahi toh. Anuj nervously looked around: Main toh aise hi kuch soch raha tha.

Nihal corrected his spectacles: Hmmm. He came closer to Anuj while minutely noticing the detailing on his suit: Uncle meri fui aap ko achi lagti hai.
