O my beloved…RuMya SS Part1

Part one

A beautiful village…

Raghuvir Arora entered his house.His wife Sarla brought him tea.
Raghu:I am so happy today.
Sarla:That’s nice.But what’s the reason?
Raghu:My best friend Santhosh Oberoi had called me from London.His son Dr.Rudra wants to see India.So he is coming here.He will be staying here for a few days.
Sarla:That’s really nice.
Raghu:One more thing he said.He would like Rudra to get hitched with our daughter Soumya.

Sarla was surprised:Really?Did he say so?
Raghu:Yes.
Sarla:But he has’nt even seen Soumya.
Raghu:Ya..but he is sure that our daughter will be cultured and well mannered like us.
Sarla:That’s so sweet.So Rudra is coming here to see Soumya mainly.

Raghu smiled:May be.
Soumya heard it standing behind the wall.
Soumya:Oh my God..This Rudra Oberoi will be my future husband?I feel so nervous.

Raghuvir:Soumya beta…
Soumya:Yes papa..
Soumya came there.
Raghu:Papa’s best friend Santhosh’s son Rudra is coming here to stay with us for a few days.
Sarla:And Santhoshji has found you as the life partner for Rudra.
Soumya became shy.
Sarla:But he should like you.Only then this relationship will get fixed.
Raghu:The way to the man’s heart is through his stomach.So make nice food for him.
Soumya was shy:Ok.

Soumya cooked food.

Rudra reached there.
Raghuvir Sarla went to the veranda with a confused face.
Rudra:Raghu uncle and Sarla aunty?
Raghu-Sarla:Yes.
Rudra smiled:I am Rudra …
Raghu:Santhosh’s son?
Rudra:Yes.
They became very happy.
Raghu hugged Rudra:Welcome Dr.Rudra..welcome.

They brought Rudra inside.Soumya hid behind the wall and watched him with a blush.
Raghu:Dr.Rudra…
Rudra:Please call me Rudra.The people who are close to me call me Rudra.
Raghu Sarla smiled:Rudra…
Rudra smiled.
They chatted with Rudra for some time.
Sarla:Ok…let’s have lunch.It’s ready.
They all went to the dining room.
Rudra started having food.
Rudra:It’s so tasty.Once in a while only I get to have Indian food.I love it.
Raghuvir Sarla smiled.
Rudra:Auntyji…your cooking skill is great.
Sarla:It’s not cooked by me.It’s cooked by our daughter Soumya.

Rudra was surprised:Soumya?
Sarla:Yes.
Rudra thought:Dad sent me here to see Soumya.Where is she?I did’nt see her yet.
Raghu:Soumya beta…
Soumya came looking down.She was shy to face Rudra.
Rudra saw her face.
He was surprised to see her appearance.
Dressed in Ghagra…simple chain and earrings…tinkling bangles ..bindi…dots near her eyes..long hair plat…her nose ring adorned her.
Rudra:You are a nice cook.Food is very delicious.

Soumya raised her eye lashes and looked at him slowly blushing.She felt very happy.
She thought:Though he lived outside India he likes traditional Indian food.

After lunch…

Rudra:Uncle…I want to see this place.
Raghuvir:But it’s not possible to see the whole village in a whole day.
Rudra:That’s fine.I will be here for a few days.So I will see the rest of the place later.
Raghu:Ok…Soumya will show you the place.Enjoy visiting our beautiful Village.

Rudra Soumya looked at each other.

Soumya took Rudra out.She showed the area and described it.

chal paDe hain hum aisi raah pe
befikar hue ke ab jaana kahan
laapata hue saare raaste
DhoonDhega humein ye zamaana kahaan

Rudra:So beautiful.
Soumya:You are brought up outside India.Then how are you able to enjoy the beauty of Indian Village.
Rudra:Though I am brought up in a foreign country I am Indian at heart.I love India and it’s beauty.It’s so natural and green.
She smiled.
She thought:I was nervous how I will adjust with a typical foreigner.But he is a complete Indian.

ye samaa hai kaisa
muskuraane jaisa
dheemi baarishein hain har jagah
ye nasha hai kaisa
Doob jaane jaisa
jaagi khwaahishein hain har jagah

Rudra saw a mango tree.
Rudra:Wow!I want to take fruits from the tree like you all do.
Soumya:Ok.
Soumya threw stone at the mangoes.Rudra too threw stones and sticks at the fruits.
Some fruits fell down.Both took them from the ground.
Rudra noticed Soumya eating it licking and sucking it.
Seeing it with a smile Rudra too ate mango like that.
Soumya felt like laughing.

gazab ka hai ye din
gazab ka hai ye din
gazab ka hai yeh din dekho zara

Rudra played with river water splashing water.
Soumya smiled.

paani hoon paani main haan behne do mujhe
jaisa hoon waisa hi rehne do mujhe

Soumya:You are playing like an innocent kid.

Rudra:Ya…I missed all these fun in London.So I want to enjoy what I could’nt enjoy in childhood.
She smiled seeing him enjoy.

duniya ki bandishon se mera naata hai kahaan
rukna Theherna mujhko aata hai kahaan

She showed him the fields.
Rudra:My God!I can’t walk here.I am scared.
Soumya:You are scared?Seriously?I can’t believe it.

Why are you scared?It’s so simple.
Rudra:You are used to walking through this area.So for you its silly.But not for me.
Soumya:Don’t get afraid like a kid and follow me.
Rudra:What?I need to follow you.
Soumya:Yes.Follow me.
Rudra:Oh no…

Soumya walked fast while Rudra walked after her slowly and carefully.

ye sama hai kaisa
muskurane jaisa
dheemi baarishein hain har jagah
yeh nasha hai kaisa

Rudra:Though scary it’s thrilling and interesting.

doob jaane jaisa
jaagi khwaishein hain har jagah

But Soumya slipped and was fell down hurting herself.
Rudra:OH God!
He lifted her up in his arms.

She felt secure in his arms.
They both looked at each other.

gazab ka hai ye din
gazab ka hai ye din
gazab ka hai ye din dekho zara(Sanam Re).

Rudra:Are you ok?
Soumya nodded showing pain on her face.
Rudra carried her home.Raghuvir and Sarla got scared:What happened?
Rudra:Soumya fell down.

They became upset.
Rudra:Don’t worry.I will handle it.
Rudra placed Soumya on the bed.
Sarla caressed her:Good that Rudra was there with you.Otherwise…

Rudra cleaned her wound ..put ointment from the the first aid box and bandaged it.

Soumya was feeling pain.
Rudra:I know it’s still hurts you.But it’s a minor wound.It will go soon.

Soumya felt drowsy.
Rudra:But one thing Soumya.Now onwards don’t be over confident while walking through the field.Understand.Be careful.

Soumya was embarrassed.
Raghu:Good that a doctor is here now.
Sarla:Right.Now Rudra can look after us and give us the required treatment.
Rudra:Sure.
They all smiled.
Raghu Sarla went out of the room.
Soumya:Thank you Rudraji.
Rudra:Don’t say thank you.It was my duty to take care of you.

Soumya smiled.
She thought:Now itself he considers me as his responsibility. That means he liked me?
Rudra:Don’t call me Rudraji.Call me Rudra.
Soumya smiled:Ok Rudraji…
Rudra:What?
Soumya:I am sorry Rudra.
Rudra:Yep ..you called me Rudra.That’s sweeter.

They both smiled at each other.

Rudra:Save my number.I have taken a SIM here.Call me whenever you feel any discomfort.
Soumya:Ok.
Rudra gave her his number and Soumya saved it.

Rudra:Take rest.Bye.
Rudra left the room.
