Lending Hearts[SS](Completed √)

Randhir's behavior left me in deep thought.Aryan never did something like that for me.

In fact once we were eating panipurees on juhu beach,the water was too spicy that I started crying.

Instead of giving me water he
laughed hard.

How could I not notice his qualities before.

Thinking all this I entered in my room.It was full of dark.

As soon as I switch on the lights,everybody shouted,"Happy Birthday to you.."

I was bewildered by their surprise. In fact I forgot my own birthday but my family did not.

Maa came forward and kissed my forehead lovingly.

"Bhagwan tujje lambi umar de our teri zindagi khushiyon se bhar de.."she blessed me.

I touched Maa and Papa ji and Bua's feet.

Randhir came with Arya.

"Baby mumma ko knife do.."he gave me the knife from Arya',s hands.

"Baby say happy birthday to mumma"he said to Arya.she passed a toothless grin to me.

I kissed my baby's cheeks.

I cut the cake and fed everyone.at
last I put a piece in the plate and approach Him.

He took the plate from me and fed me a little by spoon.

"Ye lo tumhara birthday gift meri or tumhari Maa ki taraf se..",Papaji kept a key on my palms.

"Beta ye hai tumhari nayi scooty ki chabhiya.."said Maa."tuje aram rahega abb."

I thanked God for giving me such loving in laws.I am sure that May must be my own mother in previous birth .

Ayushi di gave me a gold chain.Our relation was a typical nanad-bhabhi relation.

But he gave me nothing. Somewhere in a corner of my heart I felt bad.

I slept with Arya.One of the peaceful night ever .

Next day I went temple with Bua on my scooty.I told her that from now I will drop her to the school as it was on the way to my hospital.

At evening Papaji through a dinner .He invited all the residents of village.For my surprise they came and blessed me.

I was dressed in a peach colour embroidered saree with diamond jewelry which Aryan gifted on my last birthday. How can I forget him.

He was a inseparable part of my life once.

Arya was happy seeing many people around her .

I decided that my happiness lies in my family's happiness.

After dinner everybody left.Maa took Arya with her coz she wanted to spend time with her granddaughter.

I was waiting for Randhir. He was out of town for a important work .

My eyes were becoming heavy but I waited for him. My mind occupied with negative thoughts.

I heard a knock on main door.I glanced at the watch ,it showed 11:45 pm.

I rushed to open the door.I felt my heart beat becoming normal again.

Yes it was Randhir.A serene smile was playing on his lips .

"Abhi tak soyi nahi tum."he asked me entering inside.

I closed the door and followed him."Apka hi wait kar rahi thi..asp baitho I'll serve the dinner ."I said to him.

"No..first come with me.."he said going towards the terrace. I followed him without much argue.

We reached to a room.I forgot to mention earlier that papaji was renovating the second floor of house.

There was a huge room with extra wide windows.I always wanted to live in that lavish room.in fact once I expressed my wish to Maa.

Randhir was massaging Maa's legs then.

"Hum yaha kyu aye hai.."I asked him confusingly.

"Mera gift to abhi baki tha na..so here it is.."he replied and opened the door .

I was mesmerized by its interiors. The walls were covered my and Arya 's picture.some were only mine from my childhood to graduation.

The windows had white transparent curtains exact the way I wished it to be.

In a corner,a study table was perfectly set up with a bookshelf beside it.

It Was Perfect...

I turns to him.He was leaning on the wall with crossed arms.

"Liked it.. Please don't say no otherwise meri mahino ka hardwork barbad hojyega..."he said.

"Thank you so much...it is the best gift I ever receive...."I said with gratitude for him.

His respect increased in my heart.

"Please give me something to eat.. subah se kuch nhi khaya..,"he said .

"Give me just fifteen minutes.. tab take aap dinner table par baitho.."I replied with a smile and lefto for kitchen.

I prepared his favorite jaggery kheer.

Within fifteen minutes I served the food in two plates

"Why are you serving two plates...it means..tumne abhi tak..",
he frowned.

"Wo kya hai na Maa told me that Arya's papa don't like to eat alone..ghar k baki members dinner kar chuke to..I thought to wait for my baby's baby papa."I replied.

I noticed a smile crept on his face.

To be continued.....

****
Only one more part.

I am feeling nostalgic .
