Prem Bandhan- The Bond of Love -SS- Part 4

Harsh plucked the cake piece and made some childish expressions.

Janaki : You haven’t forget this Harsh…Why you are doing it ?

Harsh : Whenever I gets the creamy cake I have this habit of plucking cream .Doesn’t matter how old I am the naughty kid in me never goes away. You also try it’sgood.

Janaki also did the same. They both laughed and swalloed the cream.

Janaki : It’s already late. I need to go now..

Rajesh : Okay Janaki.

Harsh : Even I have to login. Deedi yahan internet toh hein naa ?

Vandana : Haan Harsh. Don’t worry about this.

Rajesh :Vandana So mein bhi nikalta hoon office…..

Vandana : Bye take care.

Rajesh and Janaki leaves…

Harsh ;Deedi today I will wash clothes.

Vandana : Harsh but your work ?

Harsh : Deedi I know you are also a working woman. And you have taken work from home option to manage both household and job naa…..And moreover at the time of pregnancy you can’t go office. …..Still you are managing every thing…Jeeju se meri shikayat hein.

Vandana : Please don’t think so. Rajesh is everything to me. You know what he wakes up early with me and helps me in making food . He cleans the bedroom and Janaki also helps in household . Rajesh is an auditor and you know na how much he need to work ? Regarding clothes I will put them in washing machine…

Harsh : Oh deedi if I will put them in washing machine then will washing machine stop it’s duty ?

Vandana laughs

Vandana : You reminds me our dad , He was also so jolly and sweet like you.

Harsh ; Bas bas itni tareef mat karo. You go and take your laptop and start doing work.

Vandana : Are you sure ?

Vanadana stared him .

Harsh : Deedi don’t make your eyes that much bigger……

Vandana :Stop doing fun of me. But on a serious note Harsh after so much time every one has started smiling today …..And because of you this house became real house not as a mere building. You didn’t asked me why I called you here .

Harsh ; I felt there may be some purpose . Perhaps you want to talk to me alone.

Vandana : Harsh I am worried for Janaki.

Harsh : Deedi now everything became alright. She has started getting back to work , normal life…

Vandana : Not whole heartedly Harsh. She is doing over time job and she rarely finds time for herself. Rajesh and I only told her to join back with a hope that it will make a change in her. But I guess still she hasn’t changed fully. So…

Harsh : So what deedi ?

Vandana ; Please don’t get me wrong. Rajesh and I feels that may be you can….I mean…..If you marries Janaki .

Harsh : Deedi !! How you thought about like these ? She is my best friend and I am the same Harsh only who behaves very casual with her …..How you can think that Janaki and me….

Vandana :I am sorry …..I didn;t have the intention to hurt you Harsh. You are my younger brother and at that freedom I felt so…..I mean you are aware of her past and you knows her better . Whenever you talks with her I always find her smiling and I felt so. May be it can bring new beginning for her life. She is not just my sister I feels a motherly affection for her …..When I was married to Rajesh and came here Rajesh was bearing all responsibilties of this home alone in his shoulder as he and Janaki lost their parents when Janaki was in school and Rajesh was in college. That time onwards I started standing with Rajesh and always cared Janaki as my own daughter. I am worried for her future as how long she can stay like these ? Not just me Rajesh also felt the same.

Harsh : In that case you should find an eligible guy for Janaki.

Vandana : Do you think we never tried ? We talked to her several times but she still can’t get over from the past. Mrityunjay will never come back and that’s the bitter truth of her life. We felt by time passes like she agreed for job if you became more close with Janaki may be her perspective will change ….

Harsh : I am sorry Deedi. I can’t do it . I am leaving….

Vandana : Harsh I am sorry ….Please don’t go …..Please…

Harsh : Janaki is just my friend only Deedi. And I can never take the space of Mrityunjay Deedi…..

Vandana : I know….I accept my mistake …But Harsh please stay for some days for the sake of your friend Janaki…..At least she will talk with us openly , she will spend time with me and Rajesh rather than locking herself in the room. Please….

Harsh : Okay..Deedi I am also sorry. You asked for a big thing and I denied it.

Vandana : It’s okay Harsh. I can understand.

Harsh ; Leave all those things. I will help you in household work.

Vandana smiled.

At the night time when Janaki came back from work Harsh was engaged in an office call. After the call he walked in rush towards the room and on the way Janaki came in front of him. They both looked each other without saying anything.

Seeing them like that Rajesh quickly called Harsh ,Janaki let’s have dinner.

Vandana ; Haan Janaki, Harsh….

Janaki : Deedi Mera man nahin hein…..I feels headache….So I prefer to sleep now.

Janaki went to her room and sat beside the window.

Harsh : Jeeju I have to send some important mails. ….Mein baad mein aake khawunga.

He leaves.

Rajesh : Vandana what happened ?

Vandana explained things .

Rajesh : What we expected and what we are getting…..Now both of them are not talking properly….

Vandana : Rajesh , Harsh will be back . Zyada time naaraz nahin ho sakta…..But Vandana…

Rajesh : Did anything happened in hospital ? Vandana you just go and talk with Janaki. I will take food to Harsh’s room and will talk with him.

Vandana goes to Janaki’s room.

Vandana : Are you planning to keep your bhaiya- bhabhi and Harsh in hunger strike ?

Janaki : No bhabhi. Nothing like that.

Vandana ; Then come and have food Janaki.

Vandana : Janaki problems are not alone for you we also have problems.But if we started getting deeply into those by ignoring our small moments of happiness then life will become miserable.

Janaki : Bhabhi !!

Vandana : Why are you upset ? Did anything happened in hospital ?

Janaki : Bhabhi ….Even if we wanted to move on some things just stucks us in tough phases. And it’s really hard to face.

Vandana : I didn’t understand anything. If you are not able to share it to me then I will call Rajesh ….

Meanwhile they hears Rajesh screaming Harsh.

Janaki and Vandana rushed towards hall and to their shock they saw Harsh has fell unconscious. His head is been flooded in blood.

Vandana : Harsh !! Harsh !!

Rajesh : Vandana when I came I saw him from felling down from upstairs. His leg might have slipped….

Vandana : Rajesh he is not opening eyes …I feels so scared…..

Janaki : We have to take him to hospital immediately….Bhaiya, Bhabi…

At Hospital 

Sakshi ; Vandana room number 8 is vacant. Take him to there.

Vandana looked Sakshi shockingly

Sakshi : Why are you looking me like that Vandana ? His life is at risk point. Already rooms are occupied as some accident cases have been taken today.

Janaki : But Doctor

Sakshi : You think it’s the time to search other rooms…..Bleeding has become high Janaki……You are a nurse and that’s more important rather than your personal sentiments.

Janaki with the help of attendars takes Harsh to room number 8 and while making him to lie down at bed he feels extreme pain and he screams Ah!! Janaki helds him towards her and says ; Harsh !! Nothing will happen to you….You will be fine soon.
