Jayshree Patel 'Jayu'
Ever since Hain got a job as a government officer, Rishika felt like life was hell. Five years of marriage have passed. He had the same amount of love, but whenever there was talk of replacement, his mind would turn sour. Thus, if there is not something in life, something will be sour. The loss of children was a necessity. Sometimes it's good that he doesn't think so, because if these changes happened, he would have been mentally disturbed. Here today, there tomorrow. Again the transfer negotiations got him confused. It was still barely settled. It was a beautiful place. Surma was also here. His and Surma's love was completely frozen. He felt like her daughter. Changed there again. The word changed and Rishika got angry. Hardly was she acclimatizing to this environment when Bihen was replaced again. This time he felt that the fault belonged to Bihen, he could not satisfy the big boss, that's why he had to wander from village to village. She got irritated. He said to Bihen, 'Send me Pierre. I am tired of these changes.' Bihan left the room without saying anything. His eyes fell on Surma working in the house. She was listening to this. His innocent eyes were telling! Big, keep calm Bun then forgets after getting angry. This time it didn't happen, really to his dismay. Both wanted a child but God did not approve of that screaming child between them. The one reason that brought them both closer was this Surma. For two years she used to hover between Bihen and Rishika. Surma was left here by her uncle. She was a beautiful hill girl. Muttering at home. Like a mouse moving from one room to another. Rishika had taught him to read and write Hindi in a span of two years. Bihen loved him very much. She made Pahari food very nice. Rishika Pier left, so the men and Surma packed. Vini Vini started writing in crooked letters. The sticker was written on every hole and the people were amazed to see its cuteness. The day of departure came but Rishika did not call or came herself. In the morning, I was returning to the house feeling sad. In the afternoon, when the office car came, Surma was standing there with her head. There was a question in Bihen's eyes, 'Where is Mama?' She understood and said sweetly, 'Mota, I am coming with you. Bun will come and not keep you back Firungi.' Hearing his broken Gujarati Hindi, Bihen laughed even in despair. Turning his hand over his head, he opened the back door of the car and sat down. Thought to drop his uncle there. Mama's house was getting closer and Surma was sitting silently with no mind. When they reached there, between the beautiful mountains, the Chanchal river was flowing and the greenery was scattered. He asked, 'Surma is such a beautiful village and place, don't you like it here? If someone tells me, I will stay here!' Surma did not say anything. He has to get off now. Behen got off. He called Surma's mama who came out, handed her over to Surma. He turned back and heard a hoarse woman's voice in his ears, 'Kulakshani, wapas aa gayi mere sarpe , mar kyu nahi jati?' Bihen turned around and looked angrily at his mother and called out to Surma, 'Surma.' Surma came running back. His uncle was also asked to sit in the car. The car stops directly at the police station and convinces Mama to ink the papers that Surman is handing over to Bihan, so that Bihan can adopt him. Mama was overwhelmed with water. After completing all the formalities, he thanked the police. Both reached the hour. Wow! Here, nature was pouring rain. Surma arranged the house according to his idea. Office men supported. The hill cook was found. There was no smile on Bihen's sad face, Surma prayed daily, 'Bun come, come.' One night Surma brought a small letter or note with Rishika's name on it. Bihen cried a lot while reading the opening! He decided that if Rishika wants a divorce, he will give her and adopt Surma. slept at night Fortunately, Surma was also loving and friendly. Gradually his mind was thinking like a loving father for Surmane. Decided to adopt Surma and put him in a good school, he will get the satisfaction of doing a good deed. Bihen slept at night thinking. The morning dawned with a good thought. When I got up in the morning, it was late but as planned I called Rishika and thought to talk to her, when I came out, the bell rang. As soon as he opened the door, Rishika was seen standing in front of him. Surma embraces him by calling him 'boon'. Rishika laughed. Joy said to Bihan, 'Finally you took this in the wing, take me too.' Speechless Bihen kept blinking his eyes for two hours. There is no dream in the rising sun! He had no hope of this change. He immediately awakened to accept the change. Bihain accepted Aditya as he rose to see the door with open arms. He felt that perhaps his entry had brought happiness. }
