Chapter 6
Durga gets back home and notices that no one is at home including Johnson and she giggles happily.
Now all i need is the crowd of the family when i want to embarrass him.
Durga goes to her room to freshen up. As she was changing her dress, Garg enters the room and drops his suitcase on the bed. Durga looks behind her and smiles. She goes and pecks her husbands cheeks.
"How was work?"
"It was quite stressful and i really need a cup of tea, could you help me tell Johnson to make me a cup of tea?"
"It seems like Johnson isnt home from market." Durga seats on a stool and starts cleaning her applied makeup.
"What? This is 5:30pm and he isnt home. I hope everything is okay."
"Or maybe he went to visit his parents and forgot his responsibilities to this family."
Just another thirty minutes then my plan will succeed.
Just then a car drives into the family compound.
"Sagar must be home, i will go check on him." Said Garg.
Garg goes to the sitting room and sees Bharat walking into the house with two grocery bags with Johnson behind him holding one grocery bag.
"Bharat, Sagar, you're back. Did you both go to the market together?"
Johnson greets Garg who bows slightly and he continues heading to the kitchen to drop the bags and starts unpacking.
"No father, good thing i was in the market at the right time." Bharat says
"What happened?"
Johnson comes back and carries the remaining two bags from Bharat and heads back to the kitchen. Garg looks at Johnson and sees that he is really stressed out just by his movement and his facial expression.
"why dont we sit down first?" Bharat says as him and his dad take a seat in the sitting room.
"I went to the market to buy some snacks and i saw Johnson. The bag he kept some foodstuffs had tore and the foods in it fell on the ground."
"Oh God. Now i understand. It must have been stressful for him."
"Yes father, there was this kid that was helping him pack the food and luckily i was also there and i helped him."
"Thank God."
Garg stands up and walks towards the kitchen and sees him cooking.
"Johnson, why don't you rest for sometime before preparing dinner?"
"No father, I'm already late. If i rest now there wont be enough time before others start coming home."
Durga is coming downstairs and she hears chattering and sounds from the kitchen and she hurries her steps and sees Johnson and Garg discussing.
No, Johnson is back. Ohhhh God. Why did this boy have to come back now.
Durga fists her palm hardly and releases it amd smiles walking towards the kitchen.
"Johnson," Johnson looks up and greets his mom in law.
"You're back, i was so worried."
Garg looks at Durga shockingly
"You look so stressed out. Let me help you" Durga says trying to wash some of the vegetables.
"No mom." Johnson gently takes the vegetables from Durga.
"l can handle it. You all rest. I bet you were tired from your works."
"okay but be careful." Durga says as she and Garg leaves the kitchen. Johnson continues preparing dinner.
Garg goes and sits down in the sitting room and Durga follows as well feeling angry and whispering curses. Sagar enters the house and greets his parents. Johnson notices and goes to the sitting room smiling.
"Welcome home Sagar"
Sagar looks up at Johnson and Johnson blushes as Sagar walked towards him and hugs him, pecking him at his cheeks and Johnson heart rates increases tremendously.
"John, i have a surprise for you."
Johnson seemed shocked by this, what could be the surprise.
Sagar hands him a small paper decorated with houses and mountains and grasses. Johnson takes it and sees "A Trip To New York" pamphlet. Johnson looks at the pamphlet and looks at Sagar. He is shocked without words, finally some private time with Sagar.
"A trip to New York?" Johnson shouts as he hugs Sagar tightly. Durga almost spits out the juice she was drinking.
A trip to New York? When i got married to Garg, i didnt even go for any honeymoon. Lucky him. But...
Durga giggles slightly and Garg looks at her. Durga stops giggling immediately.
"Thats a very good news. It should always happen that newly wed couples should go for honeymoon..." Durga looks at Garg who in returned bowed his head knowing him and Durga didnt go for any honeymoon.
"Sagar you made a very good choice." Durga says.
"Go pack you're luggage cuz we are leaving tomorrow."
"Tomorrow?" Johnson and Durga both shout.
"Yes" Sagar says looking at both Durga and Johnson.
"Let me just finish preparing dinner and I'll go pack."
"okay, i'll go shower and come back for dinner."
Sagar goes to go shower while Johnson goes back to the kitchen excitedly.
Johnson finally finished preparing dinner which was Boiled rice with vegetable sauce. The entire family eats the dinner happily.
"Bharat?" Durga calls him
"Yes mom" Bharat says taking a sip fron his juice.
"We have arranged a young lady for you. She comes from a good family and they arent from the middle class."
"Mom how many times do i have to say this, i want to marry someone i love. Someone who knows me for years not just one day."
"Whats wrong with arranged marriage?"
"Mom, I'm not having this discussion."
"Bharat, look at Sagar, he is younger than you but he got married and he is happy in his marriage."
Bharat rolls his eyes and continues eating.
"Bharat, I'm talking to you."
Bharat cleans his mouth with the serviette and stands up and leaves the dinning table heading upstairs.
"Did i say anything wrong?" Asks Durga towards anyone sitting but no one answers her.
No matter what happens, she will bring a woman into Bharat life, someone who she can control unlike Johnson.
