Arun was all set to leave for Leh, we all had gone to the Railway Station to see him off. Arun took me aside & said in a low tone, as he did not wanted anyone to hear we both talking to each other, he said “Raj, please do a favour for me & Promise me that whatever I tell you to do you would not let me down by refusing to do the favour, that I want you to do.” “Arun, I Promise you in the name of the Lord Shiva, I am willing to do anything that you would say & if willing I would give my life for you, if the situation demands & deemed fit.” There were tears in the eyes of Arun, he tried his level best to avoid crying, he said “Raj I know that you would do anything that I would ask from you, you are more than a brother to me & also you regard my wife geeta as your elder as in the long run she is going to be your sister in law, Please do look after my Lovely wife Geeta & also promise me that you would look after my two little sons & you would also make them join the Indian Army, if anything happens to me at the border.” I took his hands in my hands & holding him very close to my chest I embraced him & said “My dear Brother I Promise you that I would look after your wife like my own sister & would make your Two little Devils study hard & make a name for themselves & also I would personally take Interest in them & would make them Join the Indian Army, It’s my Gentleman Promise to you my dear Comrade.” “Please do not say those silly words again as I do not want to become a widower & also I do not want my sons to lose their Lovely papa very early in their life. Please I pray to Lord Shiva that he guides you back Home safely & also I want to see you smiling while coming back home.” Geeta was crying. “Now please stop all the fuss & let him leave happily, if you stupid woman goes on crying than he would be feeling sad in his heart, so please see that he leaves smiling.” Trishna said. The Time came for the Train to start the Long Journey to Jammu. Really, Train is the best Companion in life as it makes some feel happy & make some cry as it reminds one about his or her life journey. The Train Started & was slowly leaving the Platform & after some time the Train fade far away from our beloved ones. I was so sad, I wanted to cry, but I controlled myself as if I cry than geeta would also break down & also those two little ones would also start crying, so I went to Toilet & locked myself inside & cried out my heart. My Dear Friend & my best Comrade whenever I remember you I do the same lock myself inside my bedroom & cry all on my own, as there is nobody to console me as all had left me all alone, even my Karishma is very far away in the States, my Jayesh is also no more in this world, he died one year before my sweet Mom left for her heavenly abode, my Late Parents has already left this ungrateful World. If Lord had been kind to me by making, you live longer than I would have cried out my heart to you. Geeta is already in remorse state after you my dear brother left her all alone in the ungrateful hands of this world. I do keep in Touch with her on the phone, she is still the same kind hearted as she keeps on saying to me just to console me, she says “Raj My dear Brother come back to Jammu & stay with us, I would look after you, forget all that had happened with you like a bad dream & please do not remember the Past, as if you go on remember the past the more you would feel like killing yourself. My younger son is all the time remembering you he always says mom please tell Raj Uncle to come here to Jammu, I am there to look after him, he is more like my own papa.” I do not want to ruin his Married life, as one does not know that whether his wife may like or may not one more mouth to feed, that’s the reason that I do not go to see my Geeta & Trishna very often. I do go once a year on my way to Pilgrimage to Vaishno Devi Mata Di along with my wife & my daughter. The ungrateful world would laugh at me & would not trust my side of the story, but I do not have any regrets & if I do have any regret is only one that I am myself to be blame for all the misery if only I had listened to all the good Advise that my poor Papa used to give me whenever I used to go on the wrong Track, Today I would had been a happy man in my life. The happiness would come to me the day I lay my bare hands on those who had always tried their best to break my own happiness & also the way they tried to ruined my married Life, by setting my wife with me & even with daughter against her own mom & Dad. I would make those devils cry very loud to their own children to save them; I would see to it that even the children do not come in between to save their parents. Back again, we all went home, I told Trishna “Darling let geeta & her sons stay with you for few days, as of now she is really feeling sad & also the kids would be happy over here as there is someone to play with them.” I was of the Opinion, that if geeta stays at Trishna’s house than she would not feel lonely, as I or Trishna or Karishma were there to talk to her & make her feel at home. “Raj, I do not mind if she & her kids stay over here, as after all she is my own blooded sister & my house is hers also, Geetu please do listen to Raj & stay with us for at least few weeks till you get over your sadness, Raj is there to take care of the kids, he would take them to the school every day & also he would make them happy. He would make them study but please do excuse my darling Raj, as he is not that qualified & also he is poor in Math’s, but his History & Geography are very powerful he can tell them all the stories from the History.” Geeta agreed & so were the kids, they were just happy to stay with us all the time. Krishna was the eldest & Mahendra was the youngest, both were fearless right from their childhood like their papa Arun. Mahendra was very closer to me than his own Parents, he used to eat with me & also sleep with me & if I was out on Tour he would never used to sleep in his own house, but he used to sleep in Trishna’s house with his sweet Aunty Trishna, he never used to liked Karishma as Karishma used to shout at them if they used to misbehaved. I was happy with the kids as I would be able to pass my time with them playing & telling them the stories of Brave Army men who laid down their lives for the Honour of our Mother country. The next morning we woke up little late, as we had all gone to see the movie “Hindustan ki kasam” with Raj Kumar in the lead role it was a war movie the kids were enjoying the movies, geeta was still sad, as she was all the time thinking about her hubby Arun, who was far away in the Leh sector of Jammu & Kashmir on the border with china, guarding the Border so that Rest of his Brothers & sisters can sleep soundly without any fear. We had dinner at Delhi Coffee House & were back home, we all were preparing to sleep that the Phone rang, Karishma went to pick up the call, she was happy shouting & saying to geeta “ didi its Arun Jeejaji on the line, he tried calling at your house, but it kept on ringing so he called up here, Jeejaji how is the situation over there? Hope all is fine, what did you say, it is very cold out there, even here in Delhi is also very cold & yes the kids are fine they had seen the movie named Hindustan ki kasam & they like it both were saying that even they would be flying the fighter jets when they grow up like papa. Yes, I am giving it to didi. Look after yourself & do not drink too much or else you would be sent back, Love you Jeejaji.” “Darling are you safe? What did you had for dinner? Ho so you had chicken for dinner, even we all had chicken & that too Tandoori chicken along with Dal Fry & Parothas, yes they are all the time keeping me on the toes as both of them had a fight again today afternoon & then in the evening both were hugging & embracing each other. Darling please do look after your health & do not drink too much you swear on me that you would not drink too much. Yes I would give the call to Raj; raj Arun is on the line.” “Hay Comrade what is the situation over there? Hope all is fine at the fence & those bloody Chinese must be shivering in their pants as soon as they heard that one of the fearless soldier had come at the fence & that his name is Arun, yes I would certainly do that I will go Tomorrow Morning & collect the Packet from the Cantonment Headquarters & would give it to geeta. Please let me know if there is anything I can do from my side, please do not hesitate to let me know after all we are comrade in Hands & also you are my elder & I always respect you as I respect my elder brother jay. Good night Colonel.” The little ones also spoke to their papa & both were saying “Papa we want to come & fight along the side by side with you, we are not afraid to die while saving the Honour of our mother, we both would do the same as Gnash did to Lord Shiva when the lord forced his way in the house insipte of Ganesha refusing as he has given his solemn words to his mother Parvati. Papa we want to tell you something special & that is we both would look & protect our own mom if anybody tries to cause any harm to our mom, mom please do not worry as long as your two brave sons are here no harm would come to you mom, it’s the promise we are giving to you & our papa.” There were tears not only in my eyes but also in all those eyes that were present over there. “Now both of you had promise papa that both of you would be good & would obey your mom & all the elders, so now be good & go to sleep as in the morning both would be going to school, now come on change yourself into night suits & kiss everybody good night.” “Geeta please be normal & now you also go to sleep, as you didn’t sleep since the day Arun left.” Trishna was consoling her elder sister geeta. The next day I dropped the two little Devils at their Army School & went to the Army Headquarters to collect the Parcel that Arun had send it across for his family. I met one Army Colonel Manoj Kumar Aasthana & was sitting in his office & was drinking Tea along with him. He was also very jolly & full of love for the mother India. “Mr. Raj, I am really happy to meet one of the sons of my Guru, late Brigadier General Deepak Kumar Khanna, he was really my Guru & my Philosopher who not only helped me a lot but also those poor Jawans & their Families, I had never seen any Generals of the Army going out of his way to just make sure that Families of those Jawans who gets killed during the war & also those who gets killed during the Peace time are well looked after I was the newcomer to the Gorkha Regiment & I still remember your daddy took me to his house & I was really moved by the kind hearted mummy of yours as she made me eat the lunch before allowing me to take leave from their house, really I was also among those lucky soldiers to have worked under your kind hearted papa , I was really very Fortunate to had work under your Kind papa, who once gave me a very long unofficial leave just to get Married & spend my Honeymoon, he was the most fearless & also the most kind hearted Army personnel I had ever seen in my life. May his soul rest in peace & may his good soul become one with lord himself. It’s my Humble Respect to your Papa & to my most loveable & fearless Leader & My Guru.” “Thank You Colonel even I am happy that there is still some humanity left on this ungrateful world, The way you had just praised my papa is the finest that I had ever heard. May the Lord Himself always protect you & your family? Now may I have your Permission to take leave from you, as I had to go & deliver this parcel to my Comrade’s Wife, who is waiting anxiously for her husband’s Photograph?” “Go in Peace & never forget that I am here to help you & your family whenever there is any need for it, as I still haven’t forget all the help that I got from your late father, who was a brave & The most Kind Hearted Army man Himself.” I went home & gave the Parcel to Geetu, who opened it very quickly & took out one Photograph & gave it to me saying “Raj, here is the Photograph that Arun had sent for you. He had told me to inform you that to keep it with you till the end of this earth.” Saying she started crying. I consoled her & said “Geetu, please do not cry, he would be coming very soon into your lovely arms & would pick you up & Dance the whole day.” She started Laughing & I was the happiest person to see her laughing after almost one month. I took the snap & saw that it was taken with all his troops’ personals standing at the Border guarding the fence from our Enemies. “Didi he still looks the most handsome & also the most fearless Army colonel, just look at his body & wow what a great Muscles he has got. If I had been of the same age as yours, I would have indeed tried to make him my hubby, only if I would had been of your age, Please do forgive me didi” Karishma said. “Hey, how many boys are you going to wed? Until now you were in love with Anil, & now all of a sudden you started loving Arun, how many men are you going to marry? Please do leave some of those handsome looking men for those poor jealous females.” Trishna started teasing Karishma. “Bhabhi, I am just having fun with my didi, who is very sweet, even when we all were young, she was the most beautiful female, but please do accept the fact that Deepali was the most cute & the most beautiful among you three, do not get envied of Deepali & me also, as of now I am the most beautiful & the most cute looking female in the world, according to Anil & not me”. Saying she was teasing Geeta & Trishna. “Trish, darling if you do not mind, shall I tell you something more important, let Geetu & kids stay along with you & we all in your flat, as she is more nervous & if she is all alone in her own house, she would become more depressed thinking about Arun all the time.” “Now Geetu, please do let me see his other snaps he looks more Handsome & if we all hear that he is having a second wife elsewhere than we all shouldn’t be surprised”. “Hey, please do not say anything about my sweet brother in law, as my sister is still the most beautiful woman than any other ugly looking females, if you say such things in the future, I would walk out on you.” “Trish, I am just trying my level best to cheer her up so that she stop crying & become her normal self once again. If you feel I had offended you, than please do excuse me.” “No I am not that offended but now I feel proud of you, as the way you are trying to cheer up my sister & how to make her smile. I really love you my darling handsome & the sweetest of all men.” I went up to her & gave her a sweet kiss on her cheek; she just blushed herself & was looking at Geetu & me very shyly. Today we all decided to take the kids to see the movie named “Humjoli” which is a very good comedy movie with Comedian Mhemood playing the lead role of being a grandfather, father, son, & the grandson. The kids just loved it so much that they were all the time laughing & doing the replay, which brought even geeta to laugh along with the kids. Geeta was laughing all the time whenever the kids did the funny act from the movie. We all were so happy that at last geeta had come to be her usual self once again. “Raj I am really indebted to you for all the help you, my sweet sister Trishna & my darling Karishma had given to make me come back to be my normal side & also the way you had made my children happy & never once you had said anything to my children, insipte of they harassing you a lot. Even my own blood brother would not have done for my family the way you had done. Now I would lovingly call you my Hubby’s brother.” “Geetu, how can I forget all the help I got from you when we were all kids & going to the school. How can I forget the way you once again brought me & Trishna so closer to each other, when we both lovers met each other again after all most 16 to 17 years. You were the first one to help me find a good place to stay & you were the only one beside Trish to know where I was staying previously. How can I forget all the love you had shown to me?” Geeta came up to me & gave me a good hug & kiss my hand & was about to bow down that I lifted her up & gave her a soft kiss on her forehead & said “Geetu, you are like my sister & I do not want my sisters to bow down before me, I always wanted my sisters to be very bold & never be afraid of anybody in this world.” “Trishu can we stay here till the time Arun arrives? I do not want my kids to feel the loneliness.” “Hey you are mad or what, it’s your own sister’s house & does anyone needs permission from his or her own sister to stay over here in her or his house. What type of a sister I would be if I do not allow my own blood sister to stay in my own house, when my brother in law is doing his duty for his motherland? My dear sister do think that it is your own house & stay over here if need be for the rest of your life.” Trishna hugged her sister Geeta & both were crying. “Geeta, I can understand if Karishma ask for Trishna’s permission to stay over here, but you being her own blood sister, you do not require any permission to stay over here in her own house, even I till we get married is consider to be an outsider, so please do not make my love feel bad or sad, by asking such stupid question or stupid favours.” “Now come on you two devils go & have your bath as we all are going out for dinner.” Karishma said. They were as happy as they were going to stay over here until their papa returned from the border. They went up to Trishna & said “Mausi, we are happy to stay over here with our dear Raj Uncle who is very loving & always takes us to school & also he plays with us. Even after your marriage with Uncle, we would stay over here in the house of our own uncle & aunty who loves us more than anything in this world does. Even our Karishma aunty is very loving as she also gives us money to buy ice creams & she gives us very tasty food to eat whenever we are hungry. Please mom allows us to stay with our uncle & aunty.” Saying they both fell at the feet of their mother. Geeta was laughing at their innocence, she picked them up & gave them a lovely kiss & hugged them. “Yes we would stay over till your papa returns back. I promise you both my little Twinkles.” “Now be good & get ready to go out for dinner, I want both of you to wear the dresses that you got as a birthday present form your papa.” We were having tea when the phone rang; it was Arun calling from Leh. Geeta was speaking to him & then two little ones spoke to their papa. He told geeta to hand over the phone to me. “Hey Comrade How’s things moving over there in Leh? Is the climate good or it is very bad? I had given the Parcel to geeta today morning itself. If there is anything I can do please do let me know & do not even once feel bad, as you yourself had said that we are comrades in hands. Take care my dear comrade & come back soon, I am eager to see you & have a drink with you in the Army Canteen very soon. Good Luck to you all my dear Jawans, as it is due to you all my Jawans that we are able to sleep soundly in the night. It is also due to you all Jawans that we are living happily with our families & our dear ones. Jai Hind.” I said, “Arun geeta had decided to stay over here till the time you returned from the border. Even the kids are enjoying over here, as both of them are putting their mom geeta & me on the toes all the time, what did you say? No Arun they do not trouble anyone, just that they fight among themselves & then geeta or I had to come in between them & separate them. After all, they are kids, but once they grow up into man they would mellow down & both would come to each other’s rescue remember my words. Okay take care my dear Comrade, wish you all the best, & wish you Good Night. I am handing the receiver to geeta. Geeta Arun wants to speak to you.” I handed the receiver to her. She was smiling after speaking to her hubby, she said “Raj Tomorrow we all shall go to the Lord Shiva Temple, as I wanted to garland the lord, as he has at last granted me my wish, my darling is coming back within a week’s time. He had been Posted back to Delhi Headquarters & would not be Transferred for another 2 years, I am also Thankful to my papa who had used his influence to get my hubby posted back to Headquarters.” Trishna was really angry with her sister geeta she said “Didi it was not good for you to speak to dad for using his influence to get Jeejaji Transferred back to Delhi, do you know that by doing so you have done more harm to your hubby, as from now the Top Army Brass would look down on your hubby as the one who had chickened out & do you know that he would be given all less work which would be of no use to him. Geetu you had not only brought the name of the Saxenas down but also that of we Joshis, whom the people used to shiver at the mentioned of our Name shame on you, you also did more harm to your two little devils, people would think that both of them must be also like their dad who runs away from the battle field. I do not wish to talk to you anymore, but since we are both blood sister that’s the reason I have to keep relation with you.” Geeta was feeling more guilty as she did not think about the consequence that what would happened to her family if the world comes to know about the Transfer. “Geeta even now is not that too late to tell your papa to stop the Posting & to tell the Army Top Brass to consider the Postings as per the Rules & Regulations of the Indian Army. Please do it fast before the letter of Transfer is handed over to Arun...” I said. Geeta called up her papa & got the Posting stalled & now Arun had to stay in Leh for another six months before he could return to Delhi Headquarters as per the rules & regulations of the Indian Army laws. “Geetu, now even I am happy with the outcome as you had done a very good thing by getting the Transfer stalled now I hope you would be little bold if not very bold, let him do his duty for his own mother Country, as we all need Brave Army man like Arun, Arjun & even our papas who were capable of defending our Mother India. If you still remember our both papas were more brave & were never afraid of dying while defending our own mother India which gave us her Sons & Daughters abundant love which never any Mother had given, we Indians are really fortunate enough that we got a lovely Caring Mother in form of our mother Bharat Mata. No other mother country has ever given its sons & Daughters that much Love as we Indians got from our mother India, Bharat Mata Ki jai.” I said. While I was remembering all about it I remember my geeta, Once it happened like that we all sitting in the Balcony of Arum’s house & were talking about the 71 war with Pakistan Arun was far away at the Border doing his duty for our mother India. Arun said “ I was Posted at Gujranwala Sector of Punjab & we were at war with Pakistan, just then I had ordered my men to fire at the Advancing Army, I heard one little boy’s war cry, he was just 12 or 13 years old & he was so over whelmed by his father fighting the enemy soldiers & nobody knew from where he came & went charging down the enemy lines, I even shouted at my men to stop that innocent boy who would get himself killed, I did not like to see any little boy or girl getting killed in front of my own eyes, I also went after the boy to stop him & hand him back to his Parents, he was having a stern Gun in his right hand & was uttering the name of holy Guru, Wahe guru saat shri Akal he was charging at the enemy & what a way he was that he shot at least 12 enemy soldiers before he got 10 to 12 bullets in his body, I was feeling guilty as if I had started somewhat earlier I would had been able to save that innocent life, there was pin drop silence in the Regiment, his father came running to see his son dyeing in front of his own eyes. We all were so angry that I ordered my men to charge down the enemy line & not to come back until they had killed all those bastards who had no pity in killing the brave little boy. I ordered my men a very special coffin for the small brave son of the soil. After his body was put in the coffin, we carried it to his house, I was in a socked as his mother instead of crying was so happy that her little one had become hero for he had died a honourable death, the mother was even saying that there are still 3 sons left behind to be sacrificed for our mother India. I took geeta to their house the next day to pay respect to the little departed soul, geeta was crying & after sometime geeta herself said that why God didn’t give such son to be born from her womb. Such was the way that little one gave his precious life for sake of defending his own mother India.” I still cry even today when I remember that little one’s sacrifice. I salute you my dear little son of India. You had brought proud to your own mother who brought you in this world. I would always remember you till my last breath on this earth. My Advice to all the proud mothers & fathers of little Indians “Please do give your sons & Daughters that same Patriotic Feelings towards his or her mother India, also if possible allow them to join the Indian Army & serve the Mother India.” I was so stunned by that incident that I did not eat my dinner that day. Even those two little devils did not eat their dinner. The youngest one whose name is Mahendra said in the worst angry tone “Papa I want to go now & kill all those Pakistanis soldiers right now & would bury their bodies in the womb of the devil himself.” I tried to pacify him by telling him that his turn would surely come when he grow older into a fine Army Man. Arun was so stunned by the unexpected development in his younger son that he said “Deepu (he was lovingly called Deepu by all we) please do control your anger, it is not good as it would land you in a very dangerous situation which could even get you killed, if you really want to join the Army & make a name of yourself than you have to control your anger & also you have to keep your cool as you never know what type of situation you would be facing at the border during the war.” “Papa sorry I just got carried away I won’t repeat the same mistake again & I would surely & certainly try to control my anger & my mind. I am also your son; I would keep my presence of Mind. I promise you papa.” Deepu said. I was annoyed with him, I said, “Deepu, that is not nice way to talk to your papa, next time you talk like this I would not talk to you nor I would play with you. You should always keep your presence of mind, if you do keep your mind under control than you can planned in a very systematic way & you can extract Revenge on the most Powerful Person, no matter the social standings, always keep your eyes & your mind open but always keep control on Anger, as if you get angry than you would be giving the enemy the most wanted way out of the situation, he would then try to dragged you out in the open & that would be the end of your plan & there would be many possibilities of you been taken as a Captive or they might even try to kill you, so always keep your cool & keep your Presence of mind, then you would be in a very advantage state from where you can draw the enemy into the open & would be able to take the most wanted Generals captive & that would be the most vulnerable point to make the enemy surrender or kill them., but always try to avoid the killings, as it should be used as the last resort when everything goes wrong or it does not work out the way you are thinking. The best general is that who wins the war without any blood been shed.” “Uncle I would like to be under your leadership as it would give me all lessons that I would be learning in the Army School, & also I want to put your idea in use in a very good way, so that papa & mom would be proud of me, also I would be able to understand the world in a more better way. I am a young boy & you are not only my uncle but also my Teacher, I would be stronger under your leadership. You will accept me as your own son & would teach me all the Solution to all hardships in Life.” I was really moved by the young boy I was unable to control my tears, I wiped my Tears & said “Deepu I would surely Teach you all the lessons that you would encountered in your daily life & all the Solutions to all the Problems.” “First Lesson is that you would keep your anger under control, as if you get anger that would give your enemies the much wanted Advantage over you, also you trends to forget all the willpower to think & planned the escape route if you get angry, if you keep your cool than you are in position to think & Planned the route to escaped.” I continued “Second Lesson, you should always think that the Enemies is more powerful, never under estimate the enemies & also if you keep your mind cool than you can take Revenge on the Powerful Personalities & even the VIPs.” Deepu was the most smarter youngster I had ever encountered, he was far more intelligent than his father Arun, I think that he had all the Qualities of his Grandfather who was more intelligent during his tenure in the Air force, also he was more like his aunty Deepali who was very Bold & Brave. Deepali was very bold & brave among the sisters & brother. She was more like a strong Pillar. She was like goddess Mata whenever she was thinking any tactics; she was also more like Mata Di when she was cool. I like her best for her boldness & Frankness. She was the baby of the family & she was more fearless females that I had ever come across in my life. Back again, into the present, I started teaching Deepu all the basics lessons in keeping his cool. I must admit here that he was far more brilliant; he picked up his lessons very fast. I was sitting in the living room, when the phone began to ring, I wanted to pick it up, but Trishna stopped me from doing it, as it was her father. He was coming to Delhi day after Tomorrow to meet all. “Darling, please keep the House neat & tidy, as my papa is coming to Delhi on a visit even my mom is coming, papa was asking about you, I told him that I still love you, I still do have that fear that someone is trying to snatch you away from me, I do not know whether it’s a negative thinking or the fear, I think that way in my heart also, that something is going to happen in which we both would live together or if it is the other way than we both would perish.” “Will you please keep your cool, nothing is going to happen nor do anyone has that guts to snatch you away from me, if anyone thinks about it even in his or her dream than too nobody can do any harm to us. I still love you & would turn the sky & earth upside down if any one does try to snatch you away from me.” I said. Just then Karishma came & heard we two, she spoke to Trishna “ Bhabhi please do keep your cool, nobody has the guts to even move a ant in front of my bhaiya, so there is no question of anyone snatching you away from him, yes, both ours & yours Parents has that type of guts, but my papa & your mom would always like to see you both united in marriage, please be at peace with yourself & take that stupid thinking from your mind that someone is trying to snatch you away from my darling bhaiya.” Trishna came running into my arms & started crying, “Trishu, please stop crying like a little baby, do you remember that when we were toddlers you were the most brave among we two, also even now whenever I break down you are the one who always make me bold & brave & now you yourself is breaking down, if you break down than I would also have that type of feeling, please I beg you to keep your cool.” She then smiled at me & took my face in her arms & kisses me softly on my chicks. I also responded to her kissing & gave her a soft kiss on her lips. Karishma then came up to we both & said “Bhaiya why are you stopping kiss her properly so that she gets all the courage & forgets all her negative thinking.” Saying she pushed me into the arms of trishna. I woke up early the next day as Trishna’s parents were going to visit her house & were going to stay at her house for two days, as geeta was staying with us until Arun returns from the border. I went to my flat as I did not wanted to give even the slighted hint to her Parents that I used to stay at their Daughter’s house. After I had my tea, I went to the Market to buy chickens & Pulses as per the list given by my Love, as her Parents were going to stay with her for two days. I went to her house & after I opened the door, I saw that they were still sleeping as Today was Saturday & it was a Holiday for the kids & for Trishna. I woke up Karishma & told her to prepare the morning tea for us all. I took the cup & went to the living room & was reading Today’s newspaper “Indian Express”, I was happy to read that the Congress lost the Vidhan Sabha Election in the State of Rajasthan & the BJP led by Bahiron Singh Shekhawat won the Assembly Elections with Handsome Margin, the Good news was that BJP got 2/3rd Majority, so there was no question of taking any support from the others, BJP was able to form its own Government in the state. I was happy with the Results, I wanted to go down & buy sweets & offer as a Prasad to the Lord Shiva & Mata Vaishno Deviji. “Trish, Darling let’s get ready as we all would go the Temple & offer the Prasad to the Lord, as BJP had won the State of Rajasthan & would be in a position to form its own Government without the support of the others.” “Even I am happy with outcome, as they would try to open the Economy of the state & would be offering some more suitable Packages to the Industrialists to open their Industries & create more Jobs for the People. Our Chairman of the Group Mr. Ramnath Goenka was saying the same that I just said, he would be the most Happiest person, since it is he who had started the Campaign against the Congress, his main dream is to see the BJP ruling in the Centre without any collation, also he wanted to see that Pramod Mahajan as the Defence Minister, as Pramod is very smart & also very cunning, who would be able to handle the war crisis very boldly & smartly. I do hope that we would be able to see the dream comes true.” “The common man should be benefited with all the necessities that they required in their day to day life. Mr. Goenkaji also want that if in the future the BJP comes to power then Mr. Murli Manohar Joshi should be made the HRD Minister, as he is the most learned man & at present he is holding the Post of An Hon. Professor of Science at the Allahabad University. He is also very good in Mathematics & Indian History. He is the real Dream of Goenkaji.” Trishna said. “Trish, dear even I am also of the same Opinion, but I think Mr. Joshi should be the Home Minister, as he is very strict & would be able to weed out Corruption among the Police Force, he would also made the Police Force the most Disciplined in the world, it would be the best second to England’s Bobby.” I said. “You two now stop all those Political talks & get ready to clean the whole house, as its almost 11.00 & bhabhi’s Parents would be here in another 3 Hours Time. Bhaiya please clean the whole Flat & take care of those Two Devils, as we three women would be busy with cooking, here is the Broom, & after you finished all please do go & changed into some nice Dress, as it is the question of your Marriage.” Karishma was telling Trishna & me. I did all the cleaning & took those two little ones to my Flat, as it would give those women some respite & to do the cooking. I was having my Bath, when I heard some sound of furniture being thrown, I hurriedly took my bath & came out & was surprised to see my beautiful Armchair being tossed upside down, when I asked both, they were pointing the fingers at each other, I steadied the chair, & told them to behave properly, they just gave me a innocent smile & when I was inside my room dressing up, I again heard the same noise again, I again Came out, but this time it was my precious Dressing Table Glass that they both had damaged. I lost my cool & was about to hit both that I heard the voice of my best friend Arun, I melted down & just reprimanded them not to do any such silly things again. We reached the House & when I told geeta all about her two Twinkles that all the Three Ladies burst out laughing. “You should had known all about those two devils, it does serves you nice, as you all the time pampered both a lot, whenever I tried to reprimand them or beat them, you always comes in between & save them, now why are you keeping quiet, you should have hit them, at that time, now when I beat them, please do not come in between & save them, as they are my own sons & I do not want them to be pampered & spoil their life, they should be taught not to break nor harm anybody.” Geeta shouted. “Now both of you would go without food today as a punishment, also both would not come out of the room, if any one of you come out than I would break the legs of you both, now go inside the room, I will lock the room from outside.” I was sad; as it was because of me that, they were punished. I did try to convinced geeta, but then Karishma came up to me & said “bhaiya, please do not come in the middle of the mother, when she is trying to punish her babies, as if you do than they both would become bold & would commit the same type of mistakes & also the children would not obey their Parents, I do not want them to become like what you were in our childhood, so please stay away whenever the Parents try to punished their children. Also please do not give anything to them to eat, as it is their own mom who had punished them, you should have punish them yourself by not talking to them, then both would had felt guilty & would had think that we must have done something wrong, as even our uncle is not talking to us. Nevertheless, our daddy also pampered you, so you do not think that whatever they had done is not good. Next time, please do not come in the middle when the elders try to reprimand the children, as it is good for the children, that we elders teach them what is good & bad for them.” I just kept quiet, when Trishna Came from behind & gave me a good solid kick, I was taken by surprise, as it was for the first time in our life that my sweet heart had given me a solid kick, I said “Hey now what’s the matter with you? Why did you kick me so hard?” “You are really trying to spoiled my sister’s sons, also if you come in between me & our children, I would throw you out of the window, as I do not want our children become idiots & ruined the life of our own children like their own dad. Now if ever you try to spoiled any children, I would not get married to you, I am also going to tell Dipika not to allow you to take Priya out, as even that poor little girl would be spoiled by you. I do know that you have a very soft & weak heart towards the children, as whenever you see any child you just get melted down in your heart, but please try to understand that if the child is spoiled & Pampered than that poor child’s life is of no use. Please try to become matured & please stop all your craziness towards any children. I am really sorry for having kicked you very badly, but you do deserve it.” I just went inside the living room & sat quietly, geeta came up to me & started cajoling me “Raj please do not angry with her, as I know that she did kicked you very badly, she should not have done that, I am sorry on behalf of my sister, do not get angry & fight with her, she is also right in a way, as she is also going to go through the same path that I am going through, even I do sometime gets wild with Arun, when he pampers my own sons, but then in the end I do feel sorry for him, I do go up to him & give him a good kiss & after getting the kiss he just takes me in his arms & says sorry to me.” I was about to say something to geeta, that Trish, came inside the room & took my face in her hands & gave me a soft kiss on my lips, I just could not resist her, I also took her in my arms & was about to kiss her, that the little devil came in between us & stopped me from kissing the lips, but I did kiss her face. I said “Trishna, my darling I am really sorry, I would not come in between the mother & her children, I promise you that I won’t come in the middle when you would be scolding our own children, I Promise you” “Bhaiya now please do give her a good kiss on her lips, just see her lips, even the lips are waiting for her lover to kiss them,” Trishna felt shy & did not say anything, I gave her a good kiss on her lips, she just felt shy & blushed , she than broke away from my arms & went running into the other room, where those two little devils were locked up. She brought both of them out & told geeta to forgive them, as both were hungry & had not eaten since morning. Geeta then told, “Now both of you say sorry to uncle & come, sit at the dining table & eat your lunch, as grandpa & Granny would be here in another 4 hours time. Both of you would get ready to receive them at the station, if any one of you open your mouth & said anything about anybody in front of grandpa & Granny, then I would punish you both really seriously.” They had their food & got ready to come with us to the station to welcome their Grandparents, who were going too arrived shortly from Pathankot. We were standing at Platform Number 5 at the New Delhi railway station, the train was running 30 minutes late, I went to the tea stall to buy tea for us elders & ice cream for those two little ones. “Trishna, will your parents accept me as their son in law, & what would you do if they say no to our marriage, I am really getting nervous, I do not know what I would do with myself if your parents does not accept me as their son in law.” “Just see how he is trying to make me nervous, I do know him very well, he trying to repeat the same thing that I had said, when we both were here to received Karishma one month back, I was at that time very nervous & Tensed, as I was under the impression that if Heena comes along with Karishma than she would had tried her level best to stalled our marriage, but it turned out be a bad dream, now he is trying to make me nervous again, but I do know my parents very well, they would never say no to my proposal, as they are confident that whatever I would choose, would be better for me. He is also not nervous as he knows our Parents very well, but he is just trying to fool me. I know my partner very well, wait till we reached our house, I would go quietly to his flat & teach him a very good lesson, but please do not worry, I won’t kick him, as I did today afternoon.” The Train arrived & we met her Parents, I bowed down to both of them & seek their blessings, I was bowing down in respect to them, that Karishma said “Bhaiya bow properly to your Mother In Law, as if she is happy then only your Father In Law would say yes & give his green signal to you to marched ahead, bow properly.” She was up to her old game, Trishna’s parents were laughing at that. “Karish, dear you are still the same, when will you just learn to keep quite & not poked fun of others? Also now a days you look very beautiful, when I saw you I was under the impression that how come my Amisha is looking very beautiful & young even at this age, then I remembered that even Karishma looks exactly like my Amisha , really how is my Amisha & Deepu, hope both are fine, Yesterday before we left the house, we spoke to each other about the marriage of raja & my trishna, I told my Amisha that I used to say that if raja & trishna gets married to each other than my dream would come true, & now I think my dream is about to come true, & I am eagerly waiting for that big event. May god bless the loveliest pair of Raja & Trishna?” Trishna felt blushed & even I felt the same, I was looking at her & I could make it out from her face that she was really happy in her heart, equally I was also very happy in my heart. I was just uttering the Name of our Holy Mata Di. We went home, Karishma brought the tea & snacks on the table, as soon as those two little ones saw the snacks of Pakoris they just could not control themselves, they just jumped onto the table were trying to grab the plate, that geeta gave a bashing to both, but it was their granny who came to their rescue & stopped geeta from hitting them. “Geeta, please do not touch my two stars, in front of my own eyes, let them eat, as both of them must be really hungry, come you two lovely stars & see what I had brought for you, I had brought two army Tanks, as I want you two to be like your papa.” Mom gave them two Toy Tanks & she had brought for them nice new clothes. Grandpapa had brought for them two toy guns & both of them were trying to shoot each other with the toy guns. Papa & mom were happy to see their grandsons playing with the guns. “Raja My dear son, please do come with me I had brought for you some nice kurta pyjamas, as in your childhood you used to wear only that whenever you used to come & teased my little daughter, also my Rohan is very good looking, I have brought his snaps for you all to see.” She took out the snaps & gave to geeta first, after geeta had seen it she passed it on to Trishna & then Karishma. Karishma gave it back to mom. “How mean you are? Why did you not let my Raja see it? Here Raja see my younger son in law, all my son in laws are really good & handsome looking guys, my Three daughters are really fortunate enough to get nice & handsome looking Hubbys for themselves.” “Mom shall I tell you why we did not hand over the snap of Rohan to raja, just ask him, it was he who had seen both of them together in Gorakhpur, he did not mentioned anything to we all, it was only one fine afternoon, that when Arun & he both were talking about Deepali, raj was teasing we two sisters by saying that Deepali nowadays looks far more beautiful than we & what a lovely pair it would made, Deepali & Rohan Dutt, that’s how we came to know. Just ask him how he looks & what lovely pair of yours was doing in the train.” “Mom, I would suggest that you get Trishna married to Rohan & I am willing to get married to Deepali, as Deepali is very beautiful & attractive than Trishna.” I was just teasing Trishna. “ Yes, I knew that you are nowadays mad after Deepali, as I do not look very beautiful & attractive, please do not worry I won’t come in the way if you decide to get married to my younger sister.” Saying she began to cry. “Bhaiya, why do you want to tease my poor Bhabhi, she really cares a lot for you, she loves you the most, insipte of there being many more handsome looking young men than you, you look the most ugliest of all, than too she preferred you, as she loves you the most, if you say anything & make her cry again than I would tell our mom to call you back & then you know what would be the consequences.” “Trishna, my dear, please do stop crying, I know my son in law very well, he would not even look at any other girls rather than you, you also know that how deeply & madly he loves you, so please try to cheer up my lovely daughter, see even he is feeling bad, come raja say sorry to my poor lovely daughter.” I went up to her & said “Trishna, please forgive me.” I said quietly into her ears “Shall I kiss you in front of my in laws?” she just felt blushed & started laughing, just then Karishma said” I know what my poor darling Bhaiya must have said into her ears that’s why she is laughing.” “Now my dear bhaiya, please take her to the wash basin to wash her face.” It was an indication to we both that if we ever felt like kissing each other while her parents are here in her house, than we both can go to the wash basin, as the basin was inside the bedroom, which can be locked. I was somewhat nervous to take her to the basin, but she just got hold of my arms & took me inside the bedroom & than after locking the Room, she took my face in her arms & started kissing me all over my face, I also responded to her kissing. We hurriedly came out & went back to the living room. It was time for the dinner, we had laid the dining table, & the food was served specially prepared by Trishna & Geeta. “Trishna, how lucky my Jamai is going to be, as he would never go hungry as you would be serving him all the good dishes, within a month’s time he would really put on weight. Raja really you are very lucky to have my sweet & the most loving daughter among my three daughters, as your life partner.” “I really thanked my stars that I am getting the most loveable & caring Laxmi as my goddess & I promise you my dear papa & mom that I would take utmost care of your daughter, she would be allowed to rule in my own house, she would be the uncrowned queen of my house, nobody would have the authority to turned her down, she would have all the authority to turned down even my request.” I was really happy as I was requested by Trishna to stay at her house in presence of her Parents, even her mom was requesting me to stay over for one night as the day after Tomorrow they both were going to Haridwar for the pilgrimage to lord Shiva. I was suggesting that even geeta trishna & Karishma go with them for the Darshan of the lord. “Raja, we are going to be there for one full month, also you three are to leave for Bombay in a week’s time, geeta would be at her own house with Arun, who would be back by day after tomorrow, you all can go for the Darshan of the lord when you all come back to Delhi after seeking blessings of your parents.” “Now you two little devils get dressed up as we are going to have ice cream, also please do keep your guns away & both of you would behave nicely in the public, if you do any mischief than I would leave you two there only & would not allowed you to enter the house.” Geeta said. “No Geetu, please do not do such stupid things to my two little stars, as they are my first grandsons of the joshi family. Also both are still young when they grow up & go away from the house to fight the enemies than at that time you yourself would say to them to come back safely.” Geeta was upset as her mom was also trying to cajole her two sons like me. “Mom we are sorry, as we have to get up early for school, we want to go to bed early to wake up early. We would not be able to go outside for the ice cream; we would have it in the recess, good night mom & everybody.” Saying they went up to, their grandparents & gave each one, a good innocent kisses. They also came up to me & gave a good hugged & a good long kiss on my face & went to bed, after sometime both were fast asleep. “Geeta, you should have let them come with us, as it would be fun having both, I would buy ice cream for them & keep it in the deep freezer, so that both can enjoy it in the afternoon after they come back from the school, please does not say no I beg you.” Geeta was smiling at me she said “Raj, now even I know where to hit you the most, I now know your weak point, all the children are your weakest point, beside Trishna, Karishma, Mamata & Vineet all the children are your weakest point. Please do not worry, I am just warning you, as I think your end would be caused by children, maybe your children or it may be my own children, please do remember my words that your end would be caused by children.” “Geeta you are right, children are my great weakest point, my enemies now know where to hit me the most, I just can’t stand any cruelty towards any child, I would be the happiest man if I die while saving any children, as I know even gods would pardon all my sins if I die while saving any children. It would be the greatest death, as I would be remembered by the whole ungrateful world.” Saying I went up to those two little ones & took them in my arms & embraced them & gave a soft kiss on their face. Deepu was the first one to noticed my tears, he said “Uncle please do not cry, I am there to take care of you, if any one tries to harm you or my Trishna mausi, I would break his legs or even kill him if he or any one tries to harm or harassed you or my Mausi.” Geeta was also moved to tears when she heard her little son saying, she said “Deepu, I shall be most happier mom of yours if you take care of your raj uncle & your Mausi, I would think that you have the invincible Power like Bhima of Pandavas, who took care of his others Brothers & his own mom, he even killed a demon named bakhasu, for the safety of the whole villagers children & other elders.” “Mom I have studied the Mahabharata by hard & it is in my blood, I would be able keep the flag of Saxena Families flying high. It’s my promise to you, I would not forget my Raja uncle who gave us the love just like our papa gives us, uncle if in the future, should you face or encountered any hardships or if any one harassing you just remember me I would be there like Bhima to break that person hands or his legs. When I grow up I would take care of you, as you take care of me, in the same way I would feed you with my own hands in your old age.” I was crying & he was wiping my tears while saying those words. Geeta was crying with happiness at her son’s brilliance. “Geetu, Please do not cry, while your parents are here, or else they would think that Arum’s Absent is eating into your heart, also they would be very worried about you even when they are on pilgrimage, so please takes control of you.” “Come on we are getting late, we went in the Taxi, as trishna took her parents along with Karishma, kavita & Anil, and I along with Geeta & Jayesh went in a cab. We reached Chandani Chowk, went to Vadilal’s ice cream Parlour & ordered the ice cream, while we having the ice cream, Trishna’s father called me & took me away to where there was no one, as he wanted to tell me something which he did not want others to know. “Raju, Please take care of my Trishna, as she was & she is still my loveable little daughter, I am willing to sacrifice my all for her happiness, as she is not only mine most loveable little one, but she is loveable of your mom & dad, please keep her guarded from Heena, as she trends to get very nervous while she sees your elder sister Heena. I also want to tell you one secret which nobody knows even now, trishna was born with broken right leg, but it was a top kept secret as the Doctors were able to do the most hard work of fixing her right leg, also please do look after her & please do see that she does not take any heavy weight on her right leg. I know you loves her than your life, I am sure & happy that my ladli daughter is in the safe hands, I also know that you would make the whole world upside down just for her happiness.” “Papa, please do not worry, I would make the whole world upside down just to keep her happy, I did not know about her right leg, I would personally take care that she does not lift anything as to make she uncomfortable. In addition, I would keep her always happier & never make her unhappy, it is my promise. Papa rest assured about her.” There were tears in her papa’s eyes. I said, “Papa please wiped your tears, if she comes near & see you crying, then you know that she & all Children are my weakest Point she would insist me to tell her all that you had said & I do not have that guts to lie to her.” We went back to where they were sitting. “Darling, where were you with my papa? I was worried over here; I was telling mom, what is wrong, why both went all alone. But mom was also not saying, is there something wrong, please tell me, I am more worried about my papa, papa are sure that you are alright & there is nothing, you swear on your most loveable daughter.” “Beti, there is nothing wrong & also I am quite well, there was a queue in the bathroom, if you think I am wrong, asked Raja.” Trishna look at me & came near me & was staring me in my eyes, I did my best to stand up to her & never show her the slightest sign of nervousness , she then said “Raja swear on me that papa is alright, keep your hands on my heart & on my head, please do it as I want to make myself sure.” “Trishna, please do not worry, I am putting my hands on your heart & on your head, papa is alright, only there was a long queue in the Toilet, that’s why we were late.” I said. I was somewhat relieved that she did not ask me to say what her papa told me all about her. “Raja, please take Trishna in your arms & take her to the dance floor & dance with her, also please do kiss her in front of everybody, so that the whole world gets to know about you two love birds.” Jayesh said. “Ha Jay bhaiya, I was not knowing that even you are like raja, if I had known about you I would have first told you to take kavita in your arms & kiss her in front of the whole world.” Trishna said. “Bhabhi both of them were the most mischievous among we all, if you asked kavita bhabhi, what they used to do in the school, & also how they both used to tease her & harassed her.” “Yes, both of them were the most mischievous in the whole school, once jay told raja that he loved me, so raja came up to me & said kavita, please do accept my bhaiya as he is having very weak heart & if you ignore him, he would die, so please I am here in front of you begging for my Bhaiya’s life, please do become my bhabhi & save my poor bhaiya.” Kavita said. “Then what happened?” I said. At that time, Trishna came up to me & hit me on my head & said, “So, you want to become jay & he wants to become veeru & both of you Want kavita to be Basanti & me as Radha. See their tactics both the brothers are the same.” Kavita continued, “When I refused, Jayesh fell down, & Ramesh was pretending to cry, I was also young at that time, so I said yes to jayesh’s proposal, that’s how I become Mrs. Jayesh.” She felt blushed. “Trishna, please do accept my younger brother as your life partner & become my sis in law, he is having very heavy heart, please I am begging you for my brother’s life,” Jayesh was laughing. “Even if you do not beg to me for your raja’s hands, I would still become your bhabhi; I love him since the time I took birth on this earth.” Trishna said. “Just now you said you do love me since the time you were born, so please do allow me to kiss your lips, as I can’t get peace without kissing your hot lips.” I said. “Will you please keep your flirting mouth shut, how you do dare to kiss me in front of everybody?” We went home; I went to my flat, as her Parents were staying at her Flat. I wanted to sleep, but I could not get any sleep, Trishna’s innocent face kept appearing now & than, I was worried about her right leg & also was thinking as to why did her father did say to protect her from Heena, I made my mind to probe all about Heena, as to what is that something more serious as to make my lovely Trishna nervous in front of Heena. I was just lying on the bed, when I remembered my Friend Kiran, I was confident that I would be able to trust him, I made a point to call him first thing in the morning as soon as I wake up. I did not know when I fall into a deep slumber. I woke up the next morning, I just then remember that I was to call Bombay & speak to Kiran about Heena. “Hay Kiran, How’s your health, I want some help from you.” “Sure, raja I am always there to help you as I owe my life to you, how can I forget all the things that you had done for me?” “Kiran can you keep an eye on Heena my elder sister, please do keep all the tabs on her friends, as I feel someone of her friend or one of our cousin is instigating Heena against my family, specially against my marriage to my love Trishna, please do all in such a way that Heena does not know that you are keeping tabs on her movement.” “Hey, raja, my dear friend even I do suspect your cousin Annu, must be instigating her, cause I had seen both of them many times sitting for a very long hours in the College Canteen, but I do not know honestly what both are talking, but rest assured my friend I would put one of bearer on the job & by evening I would be having full report for you.” “Annu as I suspect her to be the main brain behind all the Problems.” “My dear Friend, you are still wrong, as I do suspect your Uncle to be the main brain behind his own daughter Annu, as if you still remember you yourself had told me, Kiran I think my uncle from my mom’s side is very jealous of dad & mom, that he would even go that extend to sullied your family’s name & Reputation.” “Kiran, just keep the tabs on them, keep me informed all about the new Developments between them & Heena, till then take care I would call you very night, I would bring something more precious things for you my best friend. Good bye.” I had my bath & prepared my tea & went to balcony & was having my tea, I was reading newspaper Indian Express, I saw one headlines which was all about the biggest Bank scam in State Bank Of India, one Mr. Nagarwalla was caught, his statement was that he was instructed by Indira herself to collect the bag which was said containing Rupees fifteen Lakhs, Indira denied all,, after few days that person was shifted to the Hospital as he complained about the heart problem, he died in the hospital, the Post Mortem report said he died due to bullet in his right hand, the whole nation was shocked about the development. Until today, nobody knows the full story behind the mysterious death of Nagarwalla. I got ready & went to Trishna’s flat, Today we all were to go to the Laxmi Temple for the special puja being performed for Trishna’s well being. She was still in the dark about her right leg & the sudden development in Bombay. I was in favour of postponing our Bombay trip & was thinking of calling my family over to Delhi to fixed the Marriage, but Trishna had her way & that was the trip that turned my life upside down where I lost my love Trishna forever in this cruel & Jealous world, my cousin whom we never suspect turned out to be the main culprit but my Uncle was the main culprit behind the curtains. I did not do any harm to his family, as my aunty was more helpful to our family. The justice of god was taking its course on uncle after some years his only daughter fall in love with a person who was from the minority community, she did sullied the family’s Name & reputation in such a way that everybody were inwardly happy that the person had been brought down to earth., Today nobody even talk to them, but all talk to our aunty, who is very kind hearted.
