The story began long before Raman Bhardvaj ever opened his eyes to the world.
Savitri Bhardvaj sat comfortably, one hand resting over her growing belly as she spoke to her husband.
"Aapko kya lagta hai... beta ya beti?"
Raghuvir glanced at her, a faint smile appearing on his face.
"Jo bhi ho... hai toh hamra hi."
Savitri immediately frowned.
"Hato ji! Hamesha mazaak hi karte rahte ho. Kabhi socha bhi hai kuch inke baare mein? Bas thitholi kar lo."
Raghuvir chuckled.
"Aisa kya? Toh tumhe kya lagta hai... ye tumne akele hi kiya hai kya?"
Savitri's cheeks turned pink.
"Arey! Bade besharam hote ja rahe hain aap. Dekhte nahi... hum kamre mein nahi hain. Aama hain yahin."
Raghuvir chuckled again, completely unbothered.
"Aama ko bhi pata hai tumne kya gul khilaye hain mere saath. Itna kya sharmati ho?"
Savitri's face turned even redder.
"Bas bhi kijiye aap..."
She lowered her gaze, trying to hide her smile.
Savitri shook her head, trying to hide her smile.
"kabhi socha hai log kya bole ge agar aapko ye bolte hue sune ge to ... ye sab sun ke koi bolega ki aap zamindar ho?"
Raghuvir simply chuckled, looking far too pleased with himself.
Suddenly, someone cleared their throat.
"Ahem... ahem..."
Both Savitri and Raghuvir immediately turned toward the sound.
"Bahu..."
Saroj's voice carried a certain amusement that made Savitri's eyes widen.
Savitri's face immediately turned red.
"Amma..."
Raghuvir, on the other hand, only tried to suppress another chuckle.
Aama smiled fondly and stepped toward Savitri, gently placing her hand over hers.
"Sukhi reh, bahu."
She placed the prasad in Savitri's hands.
"Dhanyawaad, Aama."
Aama then glanced toward her son, her expression turning mildly stern.
"Kyu re, Raghu... kaahe hamrii bahuriya ko itna satata hai re ?"
Raghu chuckled.
"Aama, main kahaan kuch karta hoon? Ye toh khud hi chid jaati hai."
Aama raised an eyebrow at him.
"Achha? Ruk... teri aajkal thik se khabar nahi le rahi hoon, isiliye tu itna ud raha hai."
Savitri quickly covered her giggle, lowering her face.
Raghu shook his head, grinning.
"Aama, ab tu hi mujhe bolegi toh kaise chalega?"
Aama waved him off.
"Chal, ja kaam pe ja. hamri bahu ko pareshaan mat kar."
Raghu sighed dramatically.
"Thik hai, thik hai... ja raha hoon. Dekh lo duniya waalo... dekho, mere jaise masoom se ye log kaise baat karte hain!"
Aama gave him a warning look.
"Jaata hai yaโ"
"Jaata hoon, jaata hoon!"
Raghu hurriedly stepped forward.
"Par pair toh chhoone de, Aama."
He touched his mother's feet, then gave Savitri a quick wink before running off.
Aama shook her head, while Savitri couldn't hold back her laughter.
Savitri giggled loudly.
"Aama... ye kya hai? Ye kya hai... aapke bete? Hahaha!"
Aama shook her head, trying to hide her own smile.
"Bilkul apne pita ji pe gaya hai."
She paused, remembering her husband, and a faint blush touched her cheeks.
Savitri noticed the faint blush on Aama's cheeks. A mischievous smile slowly spread across her face as she raised her eyebrows at her.
"Hmm... hmm, Aama."
Aama immediately caught on and looked away, trying to hide her embarrassment.
"Dhatt...!"
Savitri giggled softly.
Aama smiled and gently called her.
"Arey sun... baith mere saath."
The two of them settled comfortably on the couch.
Aama looked at Savitri's growing belly, her expression turning tender and concerned.
"Bahu, dekh... tera aathvaan mahina khatam hone ko hai. Ab is samay thoda zyada dhyaan rakhna chahiye. Aur apne aap ko logon ki nazron se bachakar rakhna... khaas kar bahar waalon ki. Kahin kisi ki nazar na lag jaaye tujhe aur isko ..."
Savitri smiled softly.
"Aama, aisa kuch nahi hota hai... hamare saath bura tabhi hoga na, jab hum kisi ka bura karenge."
Aama lovingly cupped her cheek with one hand.
"Tu bahut bholi hai ri..."
She smiled tenderly.
"Thik hai, maan li teri baat. Par meri bhi baat maan le...bahu"
Savitri giggled softly.
"Arey Aama, main kahaan mana kar rahi hoon aapko? Main toh bas bata rahi thi... kyun chalegi toh aapki hi, hehe."
She giggled again, making Aama smile at her innocence.
Aama smiled and gently shook her head.
"Pagli kahin ki."
Savitri smiled warmly and wrapped her arms around Aama in a gentle hug.ย
Stay tuned ~๐ชท
