Dheet

Two days passed by neither sona nor dev was ready to accept their mistake. Dev used to go early morning n and come late night and sona managed her house n hospital duty equally. Ishwari n girlz tried to talk to them but both were dheet to accept it or say sorry.
****
As per routine dev came late night and found no one at home. He asked kheechu bhaiya about everyone and he said everyone is in their room.
D: sabne khana khaa liya... maa ne apni dawaai li.
K: nahi bhaiyaa jee kisi ne bhi khana nahi khaya aur maaji ne bhi dawaai nahi li.
D: kyun ???
K: wo maa ji aur neha didi ke beech ladaai ho gai aur riya didi aur nikki baby ke beech bhi.
D:aise kaise sabke beech ladaai ho gai.
K: wo muje nahi pata
D: acha ek kaam kijiye aap aabko bula aaiye aur sonaskhi kaha hai.
K: wo bhabhi to apne maike chali gai
D: kyaaa lekin kyun....
Before keechu could repl ishawari came in n sent kheechu to kitchen.
D: maa sonakshi maike kyun chali gai wo bhi is tarah muje bina bitaaye aur aapne subah se khana kyun nahi khaya chal kya raha hai is ghar me koi muje batayega.
I: ghar ki itni fikar hai to ghar me raha kar pura pura din office me rahega to kaise pata chalega ghar me kya chal raha hai. Aur rahi baat sona ki to wo is ghar ki sirf bahu nahi teri patni bhi hai jab tuje uski fikar nahi to wo yaha kyun rukegi. 
Dev stood there silently.
I: ab aise chup hi khada rahega ya kuch bolega.
D: sorry maa. Apne gusse me mene gharwalo ko ignore kiya muje aisa nahi karna chaiye tha. Plz muje maaf kar de. Me abhi sabko bulata hu aaj sab sath me khana khaayenge.
"Riya nikki neha" shouted dev n every one came out of their room.
D: chalo aaj hum sab sath khana khayenge.
N: nahi bhaiya muje maa k sath khana nahi khana
Nk: aur muje riya dii k sath
R: muje bhi nikki ke sath khana nahi khana
D: yeh kya bachpana hai tum teeno ka. Saath khana nahi kahana.... hum sab ek pariwar hai aur family me issues hote rehte hai use bethkar suljaya bhi to jaa sakta. Is tarah se baat na karne ka kya matlab hai.
Nk: acha bhai aap me itni samaj hai to yeh samaj tab kaha gai thi jab sona bhabhi se aapne ladaai ki.
Dev was again silent as he finally understood what his family wanted to make him understand.
D: me samaj gaya
R: kyaaa
D: yahi ki meri teeno behne badi aur samajdaar ho gai hai aur ab waqt aagaya hai unhe is ghar se vida karne ka.
All three started hitting him and they shared a group hug.
D: acha ab chalo khana khaa lete hai fir tumhari bhabhi ko manakar ghar bhi to lana hai.
"Uski jarurat nahi" said sona while coming in.
Dev was happy seeing her back but being mr obhodro he dint react.
I: arey sona tum to aaj raat hospital me rukne waali thi na apni saheli ke paas. Uske pati ki tabiyat...
S: ab wo theek hai mummyjee isiliye me ghar aagai.
Nk: acha kiya bhabhi aap ghar aagaye ab hum sab milke khana khaayenge.

On the dining table every was busy doing masti n enjoying except dev and sona who were still not talking but were busy glancing each other in between.
N: bhai bhabhi aap dono ab bhi itne chup chup ho. Ab to narazgi chod do.
D: (without looking at sona) i am sorry me kaam ke chakkar me phone dekhna bhul gaya tha.
S: even i am sorry muje aapko andy aur uske husband ki situation ke baare me bata dena chaiye tha.
I: chalo dono ne apni galti to maani
Devaskhi smiled at each other.
Nk: haaa maa ab galti ki hai to saza bhi to milni chaiye.
R: haa maa nikki sahi keh rahi hai galti ki saza to milni chaiye jaise aap hume deti ho ab bhaai aur bhabhi ko bhi dijiye.
I: haa yeh baat to sahi hai.
Devakshi were worried n nervous on what punishment  will they get now.
I: to tum dono ki saza hai yeh...
Saying this she took out an envolope and gave it to dev.
I: yeh hai tum dono ki saza honeymoon to switzerland.
All three galz were surprised n shocked n excited and devakshi were confused nervous n dont know what to say.
D: maa yeh... switzerland itna dur me aap sab ko chodke nahi jaunga
Nk: koi baat nahi bhaiya aap hume bhi apne sath le chaliye we dont mind at all kyun dii
She winked and galz giggled.
I: chup karo tum teeno. Dev sona muje kuch nahi pata tum dono jaa rahe ho matlab jaa rahe ho.
D: par maa yaha itna kaam hai.
I: koi kaam nahi meri tina aur dr sinha dono se baat ho gai hai and wo dono sab manage kar lenge.
Devaskhi had no other option but to say yes as even their family was as dheet as they both are.

In devaskhi room dev was lost in his thoughts when sona entered after giving milk to ishwari.
S: kya hua mr dixit aap kya soch rahe hai
D: fir mr dixit....
S: sorry dev aap kya soch rahe hai
D: humare honeymoon ke baare me
S: honeymoon ke baare me... me kuch samji nahi
D: dont get me wrong sona... but
S: agar aap nahi jaana chathe to its fine hum koi excuse bana denge
D: aap kabhi meri puri baat sunegi... mene kab kaha ki me nahi jana chatha
S: aapki aadhi baat hi aise hoti hai ki puri sunne ka man hi nahi karta.
D: fine then to baat karne ka koi fayda hi nahi
He was about to leave when sona held his wrist n stopped him.
S: achaa i am sorry... plz tell me aap kya bol rahe the.
D: i am sorry too i guess me bhi overreact kar gaya.
Dev held her hand n took her to the balcony. They sat on the the chair n dev held her hand.
D: sona i know jab se humari shaadi hui hai humne ek dusre ke sath waqt hi spend nahi kiya. Me bhi tumhare sath time spend karna chatha tumhe honeymoon par leke jana chatha hu par...
S: par....
D: maa aur behenon ko yaha akele chodke...
S: to aap unhe bhi humare sath leke jaana chathe hai
D: aap fir meri baat ka galat meaning nikal rahi hai let me just complete
She nodded n sat quietly.
D: to me keh raha tha maa n beheno ko yaha akele chodke out of india jana  mera man nahi maan raha. Maa ki tabiyat bhi kuch theek nahi rehti aur is tarah teen jawan ladkiyo ko i mean... aap samaj rahi hai na
She again nodded n let him continue.
D: kya hum kahi india me nahi jaa sakte for honeymoon plz. Place aap decide kariye aap jaha bolegi hum waha jaayenge.
Sona was still quite.
D: mrs dixit ab aap bol sakti hai.
S: i feel bless to have a husband like you. Aap ek bahut ache bhai n bete hai n i m sure utne hi ache husband bhi banenge. I am ok with ur decision.
Dev just smiled and they shared an eyelock.
