I am proud to be a Ronit Roy fan and in the month of March Alt balaji launched this web series. It was an interesting story of a man who is in the middle age of his life journey and fall in love with a young girl. It was about questioning whether w...
It was a pleasant morning and just three more days were left for Rohana's wedding.
Ana had some work and had gone to her office. Rohit was sleeping for late and she had slightly kissed his both cheeks before leaving to work. She had kept a note on his table.
"I love you Roh... Enjoy your freedom for three days. I am going to my apartment. Baaratlekeanaa Ananya Sharma keghar. I sound crazy." Rohit smiled reading her words.
Michelle was on her way to work from Boss's home. Rohit was bored and his mind was distracted. Wedding was on his mind. He was nervous but the thought that once their marriage got legalised, Ana will not leave him got back his pleasant mood.
He took a long shower singing legendary Kishore Kumar song:
Ek ladkibheegibhagise...
The romance in the air and the fresh smell of his garden perished with an annoying phone call.
His Maa had called him. She gave him a solid news. The information was Poonam had left for Udaipur and she didn't inform Maa. She weeped and complained. No-one loved her. Roh was more worried 😟 He had invited his Veera Masi from Canada for his wedding. Veera Masi had assured her nephew that she will convince Maa to settle down in Canada. Rohit got a hick up thinking of Maa. He pondered for a while :
"Was he a wicked son?"It is his duty to take care of his mother. He is her hope and only son. Life has indeed put Rohit in soup. He knew, Ana won't like her mom in law staying together with them and she will not adjust like Poonam.
Poonam never complained about joint -family set up. Ana loved a nuclear family.
Maa would behave harshly yet Poonam never created a scene. Even after divorce, she took care of her mother in law, willingly. For a moment Rohit felt ashamed of himself.
"I don't want to be a prodigal son. I am a selfish person." He cursed himself in his heart while talking to his mother.
Maa, complained about Poonam but at the same time, she appreciated her for being a good daughter in law. She was indeed an ideal wife. Rohit, somewhere felt she was comparing Ana to be a bad wife. Soon she started shouting at Rohit. She informed him that Poonam is disturbed and heart broken with his wedding party news. She ordered that Rohit should cancel his party. Roh argued with his mom, she did not listen to him and disconnected the line.
Roh was upset. Pooh, must be with Abhi. Was she dating him? He was uneasy with a flash of jealousy in his mind. He opened face book to spy over Abhimanyu. The guy looked hot and dashing in his profile picture. He indeed had a dynamic personality to woo any woman.
Rohit stood in front of his dressing table and looked at his mirror image. He blurted...
"I am the most handsome man. I am Rohit Mehra, the charming king. " He smiled but he saw wrinkles on his neck. Touching those lines, he gave a crooked smile. At 48 he was potent enough to make a baby and starting a new life. Ana will be soon announced to be his legal wife. A booming career in Dubai and what he wanted in life? Right now it was peace and good health. Happiness for his daughters and safe home for Maa. Poonam too was in the corner of his heart.
He called Abhi casually to know if Poonam was with him.

Roh called him like a client. He lied to Abhi that he had sent an email to Poonam and she has not reverted.
"Poonam is right here with me. " Abhi informed Rohit and handed the phone to Pooh.
His voice choked as soon as she said:
"Hello Mr. Mehra."
Rohit fumbled and disconnected the line.
Next five minutes, he went blank and profusely sweat.
Michelle rang the doorbell and Rohit was out of his perplexed state.
Rohit opened the door. He was wearing his casuals- a Panda 🐼 bermuda and grey collared GAS brand T-shirt.
Michelle looked at him from top to toe and smiled.
"Should I wear pressed shirt and trousers?"Rohit questioned his assistant.
She smiled and confidently said:
"No Sir. You look too smart in this attire. Just that I was making up my mind to work from your palatial home. May I come in. "
"Yeah, come in... "Rohit invited her to his plush living room and she sat on the couch, moving her eye balls towards the mesmerising interiors.
Rohit asked Nikki to get some coffee and she made a face.
Rohit asked Michelle to be comfortable. He went inside to wear his denims. He then took her to his office space in his home. Till lunch he worked with her professionally. He asked her to go home half-day. Michelle impressed him with her workaholic nature. Rohit was hungry now and Nikki was not home. He was planning to make some noodles. Nikki was back before that. She expressed her desire to eat at 'LOL'.
Was she again having some dirty plans? Is Ana there with Harry? Rohit wondered. Nikki was not a burger 🍔 person.
"I just want to eat a Burger dad and don't look at me like a cop. I don't intend to be mischievous. " Nikki laughed and sat on her dad's lap.
"Yes millennial... What you want from me? " Rohit asked his 20+ daughter.
"Nothing dad... You look very handsome today. "Nikki hugged her dad tight. She was feeling emotional. She was ready to fly from her parents nest.
Rohit too had tears in his eyes while he caressed her. He was missing his elder one now...
Bani was all alone at home. She was bored and her Dadi had invited her friends for bhajjan in the afternoon. Grandma had gone to the market. She slept for some time.
"Sleep is the best medicine to forget our sorrows." Bani loved it and she was lucky enough to get some.
Nikki and dad were chit chatting and both were getting emotional. Rohit had not revealed to Nikki that he will be shifting to Dubai. He knew she would cry buckets full and he changed the topic. They decided to go out. Nikki called Bani. Rohit was happy. He was feeling a sense of freedom and excited to spend some time with his daughters. He couldn't play a good husband to Poonam but he never failed as a loving father.
Rohit asked his driver to go home and also gave him some money to enjoy the day. Shambu kaka was asked not to send lunch. It was almost 12 in the afternoon and Bani reached Mehra mansion. She had not even combed her hair properly. Nikki was making fun of her and calling her a monkey. Bani was sulking and arguing. Rohit tried to make the girls stop fighting. He was irritated by their irking screams . He was missing Pooh. She would stop the ruckus in minutes and he took half an hour. Both sisters made a face. Rohit was driving the car and Bani sat next to him. Nikki was on the back seat and chatting with Takshu. She saw a notification. Abhi had sent her a friend request. Immediately, she accepted it.
"You know Bani... Mom is dating a handsome hunk. " She forgot for a moment, dad was driving the car.
