14-- I'll be there for you!

Pramod rushed to the balcony to see the reason behind the sound. And saw it was Susheela.

P: tum.....tum aise kaise chor ke jaise balcony se kud ke aayi ho

S: bol toh aise rahe ho jaise pehli baar ho.... yaad nehi hamara balcony mein milna roz ka tha pehle .... kabhi tum aate the toh kabhi main

P( smiles at little): aur aaj tak kisiko pata nehi chala.... mom toh aaj bhi kabhi kabhi pados ke billi ko bewajah daat ti hain... unhe lagta hai ki unke favourtite vase ko usne toda tha

S: aur mummy ko lagta tha ki main roj balcony mein padhai karti hun kyuki unhe roj pen pade hue milte the..... tumhari pen gumane ki habit hamesha se thi

P: kabhi kabhi bhul jata tha kahi pe rakhke... aur aunty ko waha pe milti thi kyuki tum hamesha help karneke bahane bulake saara homework mujhse karati thi(pouts)

S: aww..... woh toh bas tumhara revision kara deti thi.... aur dekho aaj meri wajah se tum kitne bade doctor ho

P: ji sab apkihi kripa h maatey🙏

S: kalyan ho🤚

Both laughs.

S( she gets inside): yeh kya halat bana rakha hai apne room ka

P: kuch nehi bas packing kar raha tha

S: packing.... kahi jaa rahe ho

P: wapas.... ab yaha rehne ki koi wajah nhi hai

Pramod again sits on the floor leaning on the bed for support.... Susheela also joins him.

S: lekin tum abhii toh aaye ho... maine tumhe abtak thik se dekha tak nehi

Pramod looks at her in weird expression.

S: nehi matlab aise bolte suna hain logoko

(Keeps her hand on his hand)  kuch din aur ruk jao

P: Sushi main itne saal tak dur raha... mujhe laga ke sab mujhe utnahi miss karte hain jitna main karta hun par aaj... bohot padaya mehsoos ho raha hain

S: koi tumhe padaya nehi samajh raha... maine khud dekha hai sab tumhe kitna miss karte hain.... aunty, uncle, mummy, papaji, chacha, chachi, garima aur puttu toh puchta hi rehta hain

P: aur tum.... tumhe main kabhi yaad nehi aaya

Both looks into each other eyes. They can see how much they missed eachother each day each hour each minute each second.

Susheela slowly puts her head on his shoulder and wrap her hand around his arm. He too kept his hand on hers and rubs his thumb slightly on her dorsum.

Though she was silent Pramod got his answer as per his expectations.

After a few minutes of silence....

S( softly): ib tum bologe kya baat tumhe padesan kar rahi hain

P: Sushi dad ko Arrhythmia hain... ek heart diseases.... unhe cardiac arrest bhi aa suka hain teen baar lekin kisine mujhe batana zaroori nehi samjhe.... i know woh mujhe hurt nehi karna chahtehe par kya mujhe apne dad ke bareme inform karna important nehi hain

S: chotta haddi tum baat toh sahi keh rahe ho par ek baar unke nazariye se bhi socho tum itne saalo baad aaye ho toh aise kaise aate hi dukhat samachar suna de

P smirks.

S( looks at him): kya hua

P: uss gadhe ne bhi exactly same line kahi hain... tum dono same ho isilye dono hi bohot special ho mere liye

They again shared an eyelock.

P( without breaking the eye contact ): ab ap boliye kyu padesan hain

S: main....nehi mujhe kiss baat ki padesani hogi
