Part 53
The four women were thoroughly
enjoying the trip to the city in that big car. None of them had ever dreamed of
traveling by such vehicle. How the journey ended they did not get. They had now
come to the tiny room of Yamuna. It was very small to accommodate these four
women. Yamuna received them and Kamaal left for his house. Veena had yet not
come from her office. All the women insisted to Yamuna that they should go to
see the apartment before Veena comes so that they will be in a position to
decide about how to do things on the day of opening of the house. In the mean
while, they receive a call from Veena, she tells them that Kamaal has told her
about their arrival. She greets them all on the mobile and they all talk to her
in turn to greet her in return. The atmosphere was of great happiness. Yamuna
tells Veena that the ladies want to see the apartment forthwith but she does
not know how to go to that place. Veena tells her that she will make some
arrangement to help her in that. After some time a call from Ibna they get. She
assures Yamuna that she will be coming in a short while and will take them to
the place. Yamuna as tells this to the women they seem to be so overjoyed that
they literally jump and hug each other to express their joy.
They begin to make preparations for
the evening meal so that they can spend enough time at the place. Ibna arrives
there and by that time they had finished preparations for the meals. Yamuna
receives Ibna and all of them exchange hearty congratulations. Ibna knew them
all save little Pakya. He looks to her with awe, slowly shifting him to the
side of his mother, Yashoda. And begin to peek at her from behind her. Ibna
appreciates his gestures and jumps to catch him. She holds him in her arms so
that Pakya sits properly on her forearm comfortably. They converse about many
other topics to know more about the city life. In that Veena’s mother was
prominent. She was curious about how her daughter is making things in this
strange place so easily. After having tea with some homemade snacks they
prepare to go to the apartment. They knew of Ibna’s big car but this time she
had come in a small car, Nano. This added to their ever increasing curiosity,
after carefully observing the car they sit in that car, making them
comfortable, and the short journey to the apartment begins.
It does not take much time but for
the traffic jams on almost every corner. Throughout the pass the women were
watching the city with surprise. Occasionally, they were passing remarks
amongst themselves in whisper, appreciating the city. However, Veena’s mother
was not very impressed and repeatedly she claimed that the life in their
village is definitely more comfortable. On that, surprisingly, all agree this
includes Ibna. On that Veena’s mother looks very pleased. It was her time since
her daughter had earned all this by her hard work; mother was proud of her.
They reach the building of the
apartment. There Ibna spots estate agent, Govardhandas. He also looks with
curiosity as the women slowly begin to alight from the car. From the dresses
and over all manners he understands that these are women of Veena’s house. With
gracious smile on his face he slowly moves towards them and greets Ibna with
folded hands. He looks around towards the ladies also, and greets them. Ibna
shortly introduces him to the ladies, as the agent uncle, who helped them in
the deal. Veena’s mother returns the salutation to him with solemn seriousness
and thanks him for his help to the girls. Govardhandas looks very humble and
returns by saying that he did not do anything out of the way. That is his
responsibility to help them and he is happy that he stood up to that.
The group of ladies moves to the
elevator since, their flat was on upper floors. Veena and Yamuna had
deliberately decided to have a flat on upper floor so that in case they want to
sell it in future they should get better return; this was as per the advice of
Govardhandas. He looked very pleased that the ladies of the Mahaale family had
come to see the flat. He wanted to play with Prakash riding on Yashoda’s hand.
However, the lad was not interested in that and moved his glance away whenever
the agent tried to play with him. The floor on which they had flat arrived and
they came out on the corridor. It was tenth floor only lower than the top
floor.
Govardhandas opened the front door
and they entered. Ibna was as much interested in seeing that flat since she was
going to stay with the two ladies. All of them the women from Ghatla were
amazed at the very sight from the windows of that flat. The wind was gentle and
cool; it was end of winter season but still the weather was pleasant. Every
room so immaculately furnished with very pleasant furniture that ibna also
became surprised to see the décor in each room.
