Then after some time, Vivek asked about Kusum bhabhi and Deepak’s reactions after he saw the home environment.
Deepak smiled. “Kusum is such a wonderful person. Bhaiya is so happy with her. I think their marriage has been the most wonderful thing that happened to him. Thanks to Roshni.” He turned towards Vivek. “It is unbelievable, Vivek. It was such a great feeling to see the family atmosphere at home. Both Sashank bhaiya and Akash bhaiya are so happy; Roshni really did a miracle on those two people. It was so wonderful to see this bonding.”
He smiled, and Vivek noticed how joyful Deepak was the moment Roshni’s name came up. Certainly he was in love with her!
“Vivek, please drop me off at home. Let me relax tonight, and please tell Vaishali that I will come sometime this week or on the weekend to visit,” Deepak requested.
“Deepak, she prepared dinner for all of us and has specifically asked me to bring you home. You know, she is curiously waiting to hear your update about Roshni!”
Deepak tried to decline, but Vivek was persistent, and finally he went home with Vivek.
Vaishali welcomed Deepak and asked, “Deepak bhaiya, how was your journey and the trip?”
“It was okay. I had a good trip to Bangalore and then spent a couple of days in Mumbai.”
Deepak was relatively quiet, and Vaishali and Vivek glanced at each other and wondered if all was well.
While Deepak freshened up before dinner, Vaishali asked Vivek, “What happened? He is so quiet. Is everything all right?”
Vivek sighed heavily. “I think so. He did not tell me much about Roshni.”
Deepak joined them at the table. “Your parents sent some sweets. I will get them to you this week.”
Vivek and Vaishali nodded, and all of them started dinner.
“So tell me, Deepak bhaiya, how is Roshni doing?” asked Vaishali.
Deepak grinned. “She is doing well. She was very busy with the launch of a prototype design while I was there.”
Vaishali was curious. “So did you spend time together or not?”
“Yes, a couple of days,” he replied and beamed with happiness as he recollected those moments.
“Will you tell us about it?” Vaishali looked very curiously at him.
“Yeah, I’ll give you all the details, but not now, I’m tired and will come back again.” Deepak noticed Vaishali’s curiosity. “I know both of you are eager to know, but as you both mentioned, it is going to be difficult for me. She has a strong personality, and it’s not going to be easy for me to convince her to be my wife.”
He continued, “She certainly thinks our relationship is over and we are not husband and wife. She has made plans to leave the house.”
Vaishali could not stop herself, and very loudly she exclaimed, “What? I mean, why? Did you not talk about your relationship at all?”
“No, not directly…” He looked at both of them.
Vaishali shook her head. “Deepak bhaiya…did you not say you would talk to her about this? Then what happened?”
Deepak mentioned that between his Bangalore trip and her busy schedule, they never got to talking about all the details.
“That does not help. She probably thought you were toying with her feelings while in India,” Vaishali responded.
Deepak was confounded. He never expected this response from Vaishali. “What do you mean I was toying with her emotions?”
“Deepak, you don’t seem to understand the seriousness of this matter, do you? How will you prove yourself to her?”
Deepak interrupted her. “I do; that is why I say it will be a challenge to make her comprehend my feelings for her.”
They ate in silence for a few minutes, and Vaishali and Vivek wondered if Deepak had created more problems for himself during this trip.
Deepak appeared worried. He knew he was sincerely trying to bring her back in his life, but what if…? Vaishali’s comment hit him hard. What if she thought that he was mucking around with her! Unknowingly he may have created more problems for himself. He became very restless; fear gripped him.
