( Friends!
'Aamad-e-bahaar' means ' The arrival of spring!!'
Happy reading⁦❤️⁩)

    HM: Aap ne ye baat humein kal kyun nahi batayi...??

       Suhaani lowered her eyes again, to hide the tears that were emerging out...

Suhaani: Kya bataati ma'am..??
   1 saal ka tha wo..., jab Tushaar ne usey meri god mein diya tha..!!
   Pehli baar jab usne apni zabaan se 'Maa' kaha , to mujhe hi kaha tha...!
   Main to khud kab ki bhool chuki , ke main uski maa nahi hun...!!

  HM took a deep breath...

HM: Suhaani..!
  Darasal baat ye hai ke..., hum ne aap ke aas paas ke logon se tafteesh ki...
   Aur..... unka kehna hai ki....

Suhaani cut her....

Suhaani: Main jaanti hun unhone kya kaha hoga...!

     She said in a low voice...

Suhaani: Saari society mein aap kisi se bhi puchh lijiye, wo wahi kahega....

        Kareena looked at each other...

KS: Iska koi kaaran?

    KS asked after sometime...
Suhaani raised her eyes, which had started moistening...

Suhaani: mere paas iska koi jawaab nahi, siwaaye iske ke main sauteli maa hun..!!

     Her voice cracked...

Suhaani: Sauteli maa ko bachche to qubool kar lete hain, magar samaaj nahi kar pata...!

    She replied, wiping her unshed tears...

Suhaani: Khud meri Saasu maa aaj tak mera vishwaas nahi kar sakien....!
    Aaj tak , Aadi ke saath, mere har behaviour ko, meri har baat ko..., humesha negative leti aayi hain...!

   Tears started falling from her eyes....
    HM offered her a glass of water...
   Santu instantly gazed towards her with complaining eyes, that why didn't she ask her to do that, but HM gave her n assuring blink...😉
    She turned to Suhaani...

HM: To kya....yahi wajah hai ke aap ke husband... divorce chaahte hain....?

       Suhaani nodded...

Suhaani: Haa...!
Tushaar aesi soch ke nahi hain!!
Lekin ek baat agar alag alag andaaz se baar baar saamne laayi jaaye to sach lagne lagti hai....
    Ab wo bhi maa ki baaton par vishwaas karne lage hain...!

    
    She started sobbing... HM stood beside her n started tapping her shoulders to relax her....
    She continued after a few moments....

Suhaani: Jab shaadi hui, to mere dil mein ek iraada tha..., ke main Aadi ko maa ka pyaar dungi....
    Lekin Aadi..., Us bachche ne to meri Mamta ko trupt kar diya...!!
Main us ke masoom wujood mein aesa khoi, ke mujhe duniya bhool gayi....!
   Main ne job bhi chhod di....!
    Ab meri subah Aadi se or shaam Aadi se...., Uske liye to main jaan bhi de sakti hun ma'am!!
Mera bachcha hai wo.....!!
   Magar sach to ye hai, ke sauteli maa chaahe jaan dede..., rahegi to phir bhi sauteli hi......

     She started crying bitterly...
  HM continued to console her..., while KS offered her water again...
 
KS: Shaant ho jaaiyye Suhaani..!

HM: Aur chinta mat kijiye.., hum kuchh karte hain, theek hai...

   She assured her tapping her shoulder....
   Suhaani left thanking them..., n they were left behind with numerous thoughts...

    HM: Bahot afsos ki baat hai...
Suhaani aur us jaesi hazaaron aurtein, bachchon par Mamta jaesi anmol daulat dil khol kar nichhawar karti hain...!
Apna farz samajh kar paalti hain bachchon ko...
  Magar phir bhi samaaj unhe ilzaam deta hai, sirf isliye ke wo Sauteli hain...!

      HM gave words to the thoughts of everyone...

KS: Ye isliye Maddam Sir kaahenki chhavi hi aesa ban chuka hai sauteli maa ka...
   Bachpan mein Cinderella ki kahaani se hum sauteli maa ka ek hi roop dekhte hain..., Zaalim , Kathor , patthar dil...!!

   KS said sadly...
HM looked at KS thoughtfully...

KS: Kaa baat hai Maddam Sir??
  Kuchh soch rahi hain aap??

HM: Hmm...yahi ke.... kitni gehraayi se sochne lagi hain aap...!!

   HM replied with a pleasant smile ....
   KS smiled lowering her eyes...

KS: Kuchh socha hai kaa karna hai ...?

HM: Humein lagta hai humein Tushaar or un ki maa se ek baar baat kar leni chahiye...
  Hum ne sirf Suhaani ko suna hai, I think ek baar unhe bhi sunna chahiye...

   HM showed her point of view ..

KS: Hum ko to lagta hai ye Suhaani ki saas hi hai fasaad ki jad...!
   Ye saasein na, hoti hi aesi hain....

   
     " Haa.., Haa..!
Kar lijiye dil khol ke apni saas ki buraai...!
     Hum Thane mein maujood na hon, to ye sunehra mauka haath se kaese jaane dengi aap...?!!"

    Everyone turned to see Pushpa ji entering in Thana...

  KS: Kaahen..?? Itna confidence kaahein hai aap ko Pushpa ji apne aap pe, ke hum aap se itna darte hain ke aap ko kuchh kehne ke liye aap ke na hone ka intezaar karenge...?!!
Aap ki tarah nahi hain hum...!

   KS retorted back...

PJ: Haa...haa..! Humaare saamne kaunsa lihaaz rakhti hain aap...??
  Humaare Lalla ke to......

    HM interrupted...

HM: Pushpa ji ! Pushpa ji !
  Isse pehle ke aap ka jhagda jang mein badalne lage..., hum aap ko ek aesi khabar sunaana chaahte hain jise sun kar aap  apni bahuraani se ladne ki bajaaye, unki nazar utaarengi...!

HM said dramatically, standing between both of them, while KS's eyes instantly got lowered hearing this.....

PJ: Achha!! Aesa kya kaarnaama kiya hai inhone?
  Hum bhi sunein....

    HM looked at KS naughtily, n then seated her on the chair...

HM: Pushpa ji! Humaare khayaal se aap ko bhi baith jana chahiye....

        She said with twinkling eyes, n herself stood behind KS straight, tying her hands around her neck....
  Even Billu came out of his Billu niwaas to listen...

    PJ was unable to understand anything, but she sat down on the chair in front...

HM: Haa to suniye sab....

    She started one by one looking at all of them who were waiting for her....

HM: Baat ye hai ke....

     She stopped once again...

CC: Maddam Sir! Jaldi se bataaiyye na, suspence aur bardasht nahi ho raha hai hum se.....

      He said eagerly...
HM's smile widened...

HM: Pushpa ji! Aap.......
.
.
.
.......Dadi banne wali hain...!!!

    She finally revealed the blissful news...

    PJ stood up with a jerk..!!

PJ: Kya...?!!!

     Cheeta, Santu , Billu..., all were standing with their eyes wide open....

    Coming out of the initial shock, PJ rushed towards HM...

PJ: Maddam Sir!! Aap sach keh rahi hain na...??

    Her voice was shivering, n eyes fluctuating in belief n disbelief....

HM held her hands joyfully...

HM: Haa Pushpa ji..!
  Haa....
   Ekdum sach...

     And PJ felt that her heart could not hold the abundance of joy...

PJ: Hum....hum dadi banne waale hain..!
   Hum dadi banne waale hain...!!!
Suna tumlogon ne Cheeta , Billu , Santu...
  Arey hum dadi banne waale hain...!!!!
 

    She screamed out of joy...

   She cupped KS's face with shivering hands..., n kissed her forehead lovingly...

    KS raised her smiling eyes...

   PJ was smiling, while tears were twinkling in her eyes..
   She kissed her cheeks frantically, n then her forehead again...

PJ: Khush rahiye..!

    She said with wet eyes...
KS smiled n kissed on the back of her hand...

CC: I to bahut jyada khusi ka baat hai Maddam!
  Badhaai ho..!!

Billu: Karishma Maddam!! Mubarak ho....
   Finally...., Pushpa ji ka sapna pura hone ja raha hai....

   Billu said in his style...

SS: Congratulations Maddam!!
Kya news sunayi hai aap ne...

    Santu said smiling fully, out of excitement...

KS: Dhanyawaad sab ka...!

   KS was smiling seeing the happy faces...

   Tears of joy were rolling down PJ's cheeks...
   HM came forward n hugged her tightly...

HM: Kya Pushpa ji aap bhi..??
Bilkul apni bahuraani ki tarah hain...!
   Khushi ki baat hai, aur aansu baha rahi hain...

    She said playfully, rubbing her back...

     PJ came out of her arms...

PJ: Matlab??

    She looked at KS with questioning eyes..., who bowed her eyes....

HM: Matlab ye ke....

    She narrated everything to PJ...

PJ: Kya?? Aap ko kal raat ko hi pata chal gaya tha...., aur aap humein ab bata rahi hain...?

     She almost screamed, getting offended...

KS: Amaa to aap so rahi thi na....

PJ: Arey to jaga detein humein...!

KS: Haa Pushpa ji! Taake phir khushi ke maare aap raat bhar na khud sotien na humein sone detien...!!

     She replied rolling her eyes...

CC: Arey chhodiye na Pushpa ji..!
   Der-sawer khabar to mil gaya na.....
   Jaruri I hai ke thode dinoñ mein hum mama ban jaayenge..., aur Santu ji maami..!!

   Santu glared at him sharply...

CC: Ma...maa...maasi..!!
Maasi kehna chah rahe the hum Santu ji..!

    He covered up...

Billu: Main bhi Mama..!!

SS: Aur Pushpa ji aap??

     She asked innocently...

PJ: Arey..! Ye kaesa sawaal hai..??
  Hum to Dadi honge na...!

     Extreme delight was clearly reflected in her eyes...

CC: Santu ji ye puchhna chaah rahi hain Pushpa ji.., k apne pota poti ki to aap Dadi hi banengi na..??
   Yaa phir unki bhi chhoti behen ban jaaiyye ga...??

    Everyone laughed on this comment, while PJ glared at Cheeta...

       KS's heart was feeling a unique solace, seeing the glowing faces of her loved ones...

HM: Roshni kuchh dinoñ ke liye humaare Thaane aayi thi, to kaese bahaar aa gayi thi Thaane mein...., aur us ke jaate hi..., jaese sab soona ho gaya tha....
    Par ab ki baar..., ye bahaar ki rut...basera karne ko aayegi...
   Laut jaane ko nahi...!

    HM said with a loving smile encircling her hands around KS's neck again...

CC: Ek dum sahi bolien aap Maddam Sir!!
   Kabhi kilkaari ka aawaaj hoga, kabhi Lori ka...!!

    Cheeta said excitedly...

Billu: Kabhi jhoole ka sangeet!!
Kabhi jhunjhune ka shor...!!

     Kareena n PJ chuckled hearing their imaginations...

HM: Ye sab zaroor hoga, magar abhi waqt hai....
   Tab tak aap sab ko Karishma Maddam ka bahot khayaal rakhna hoga...
   Unhe bilkul ghussa nahi dilana hai, bilkul stress nahi dena hai...
Ok..?!!

     She said looking at all 3 of them...

CC: Ji Maddam Sir!
Chinta mat kijiye... jara bhi..., itna sa bi sikaayat ka mauka nahi denge hum Karisma maddam ko....

SS: Yes Maddam !!
Kaam ke waqt no time pass...!
  Aur pending work rakhna to ekdum cancel...

Billu: And Billu the spy.., always at your service Maddam!!
   Record room se koi file laani ho, ya koi file Maddam Sir tak pahonchaani ho....., Baahar se kuchh mangwana ho, ya chai or biryaani laani ho...., Aap ko uthne ki zaroorat nahi hai..!
   I m there..!!

     Billu the spy offered with his typical swag...

  KS rubbed her forehead with her fingers, smiling fully on their innocent immense love....

KS: Thankyou !

      They were making her feel special....

CC: Hum na abhi se aane waale nanhe mehmaan ke liye na achche achche pyaare pyaare naam chun kar rakhte hain...!!

SS: Ok!
  To phir main pre-primary or primary schools shortlist kar leti hun....!!

      An overflow of masoomiyat, which made everyone look at her instantly......😂
  
CC: Uff....ye future plan wala masoomiyat..!!!

   Cheeta mumbled...

KS: Bahot achche Santu..!
  Sirf school hi kyun, college bhi shortlist karo na....
   Hum to kehte hain achha rishta bhi dekh ke rakh lo....

    KS said with a sarcastic smile...

SS: Main to chahti hun maddam!
Par problem ye hai ke pata nahi hai na ke Baby boy hai ya girl...!!!
   But don't worry, jis din baby aajayega na, uske next day se hi main dhundhna shuru kar dungi achha rishta...
    
      No one could help laughing over this adorable innocence...

CC: Uff...ye masoomiyat! Santu ji..., kabhi apne rishte ka bi chinta kar lijiye to humara bhi kuchh baat aage badhe...

   He again mumbled to himself.......

PJ: Amaa....kin baaton mein ulajh gaye ho sab...
  Arey itne dinoñ ke baad aakhir ye khushkhabri sunne ko mili hai...!!
   Suno Billu...!
  ( She handed over two 500 rupee notes to him)

Billu: Thankyou maa..!!
  Aap ko baar baar aesi khushkhabri sunne ko mile, or aap baar baar aese hi khush ho kar mujhe bakhshish dein....!!

     He said keeping the money in his wallet.....

PJ: Mithaai le kar aao...

   She commanded, glaring at him....

PJ: Aur suno..., Kaaju katli laana.., humaari bahuraani ki favourite....

      Kareena looked at each other, surprised...

PJ turned towards KS again....

PJ: Lalla ko sunaayi ya nahi aap ne ye khushkhabri....??

KS: Kal raat se phone try kar rahe hain, aaj subah bhi kiya...
  Baat hi nahi ho paa raha hai unse....!

   She replied with a tinge of sadness....

PJ: Achha theek hai...hum lagaate hain phone or abhi ye khabar sunaate hain usey....!
   Arey..., Badnaam, Iqbaal ko to bataya hi nahi hum ne...!!
Abhi bataate hain unko bhi...

    HM smiled biting her lips while KS smacked her forehead seeing her over excited...

KS: Ek kaam kijiye na Pushpa ji...!
  Jeep le jaiyye, saare sheher mein aelaan kar dijiye.....

   She said sarcastically..., but next moment she was shocked when PJ, instead of retorting back , chuckled....

       PJ: Achha hai...! Aese hi hansi mazaak kijiye, khush rahiye....
    Aap ki sehat par achha asar padega....!

    She pulled her cheeks slightly, n then rushed out of the station...

  PJ: Badnaam..!! Iqbaal...!!!
   Suno.......

     Calling their names loudly, she was simultaneously dialling to her Lalla...
   SS n CC also followed her to Badnaam's tea stall....

  KS was sitting with her jaw dropped, while HM was laughing....

KS: Sach keh rahe hain hum Maddam Sir!
   Itni meethi Pushpa ji na sehen hi nahi hongi hum se....!!

     She said shaking her head...
HM pulled a chair n sat down beside her....

HM: Sab ke chehre kaese khil uthe hain na...!!

       She said smilingly, still gazing at the entrance....

KS: Ji...!
  Kabhi socha nahi tha hum ne ke.....ye khushkhabri itna asar rakhti hai....!

    She too replied with a smile....
HM turned towards her...

HM:  Ye sun kar Vyom bhai ka kya haal hoga khushi ke maare....!

   HM said mischievously...
  KS was about to reply, but suddenly her cellphone rang...

      Vyom Singh's smiling pic appeared on the screen , with the name ' Vani ❤️' blinking over it....

    As the cell was on the desk, so even HM could see who was calling...

HM: Lijiye..!
Aa gaya aap ke Vani ka phone...

   She teased her...
  KS smiled shily, n was about to recieve it, but suddenly something tickled her mind, n she cancelled it....

    HM looked at her in confusion.....
  She was biting her lips mischievously...😉

HM: Kya hua ? Phone kyun cut kar diya aap ne....??

     KS sat straight...

KS: 2 din se ek call nahi kiya unhone hum ko...
   Or kal se phone nahi utha rahe hain humara......
  Abhi lagta hai Ammaan ne khushkhabri suna diya hai unko, isliye aa gaya humara yaad...

      She replied, hanging up next 2 calls...

HM: Arey Karishma Singh!
Busy honge wo shaayed...

      She tried to support Vyom...

KS: Aap unki taraf hain ya humaari ..?!!
 
   She asked raising one eyebrow...
  HM shook her head...

HM: Uff.....theek hai..!
  Kijiye aap ko jo bhi karna hai....

   KS cancelled 7 consecutive calls...

HM: utha lijiye na..
Pareshaan ho rahe honge...
  Kyun tang kar rahi hain humaare bhai ko..?!!

    HM was feeling pity for Vyom Singh.....

KS: Aap ke bhai jo do din se humein tang kar rahe hain..., wo kuchh nahi....??

    HM sighed helplessly...

HM : Aap aur aap ke nakhre..!!

    She gave in...
   KS's cell was ringing again...

Suddenly a mischief tickled HM's mind, n she pulled the cell phone towards herself......

KS: Maddam Sir..!!

   Before KS could say anything, she had already recieved the call n put it on speaker....

" Hello Kashi!!"

   VS's loving voice echoed...!
HM looked at KS, smiling within her lips...

VS: Badhaai ho Meri jaan!!
Congratulations!!!

     His voice was overloaded with joy..
   But KS got embarrassed on the word 'jaan' in HM's presence...
     She couldn't understand how to handle it...

    Getting no reply, VS spoke again....

VS: I know ke tum naaraaz ho jaanan...!!
  Magar jawaab to do kam az kam.....

        HM gazed at KS mischievously raising her eyebrows..., who wasn't getting what to do, n moreover shyness was attacking her....

VS: I m sorry Jaan..!
Plzz baat to karo...
Itni badi or special khushi ka mauka hai...

     He pleaded.
HM winked at KS, who stole away glances..., while cherry blossoms arrived on her cheeks...!!💕

HM: Ahemm..ahemm!!
Itni jaldi kahaan Vyom bhai..?!!

    On the other side , VS recieved a sudden shock...

VS: Haseena...!

HM: Ji..!
 
   HM replied naughtily...

VS: a...K... karishma...kahaan hai...?

   He asked hesitantly...

HM: Sun rahi hain aap ki Kashi..!!
   Kahiye na..., kya kehna hai...??

    She teased....

VS:.  am..aa...wo....

    He tried to say something, but couldn't...
HM had successfully embarrassed the couple...😉

   She chuckled...

HM: Achha baba..de rahe hain phone aap ki Begum ko...!
   Aur suniye, ek tip de dein...
Aap ki biwi jo waese hi nakhreli hai, wo ab aur bhi nakhre dikhaayegi....!
Best of luck..!!

    Saying that she switched off the speaker, n then stood up pushing the cell towards KS...

HM: Vani aap ka intezaar kar rahe hain...

   She didn't fail to tease her even before leaving..😉

    Finally she left, n KS picked up her cell phone...

VS: Hello Kashi...!

      He said in a honey dipped tone...

KS: ji...!

    She replied coldly, smiling inwardly...

VS: Kaesi hai meri jaan..??

    He asked in similar tone as before...

KS: Kuchh zyada jaldi yaad nahi aagaya aap ko apni jaan ka..??
   Kaa hai ke ab aap itne busy insaan hain, to itna jaldi jaldi call karne ka zaroorat nahi hai...!!
   Aur ek do din baad bhi baat kar sakte hain aap....!!

    She said sarcastically...
On the other side, leaning on the backrest of his office chair comfortably, VS smiled fully listening to her complaints...

VS:
      Unko aata hai pyaar par ghussa...
      Hum ko ghusse pe pyaar aata hai...!!

    (Impatiently waiting for your reviews....
   Thanks a lot 😊)
