England…

Nottingham…

Grave-yard…

After few minutes, Aryaan got separated from that healing hug and looked at his father's face and very well noticed those red eyes and wet eye-lashes…

NADIYA K PANI JAISA JEEVAN,

SADIYON SY BAHATA JAYE RE…

Aryaan with eyes, said to his father as "No Dad, please…" while wiping of the reminisces from his father's face and giving a soft kiss on his Dad's cheek, he just hugged him tightly to assure his father that he was, is and will, always be with his father as his strength and motivation… Daya soothingly closed his eyes, to live that moment and no one among the family was willing to disturb the two and was silently enjoying their strong relationship with moist eyes…

After few moments of getting his strength back, Daya softly separated Aryaan from that assuring hug and cupping his face, kissed his forehead softly…

HEY, NADIYA K PANI JAISA JEEVAN,

SADIYON SY BAHATA JAYE RE…

Aryaan with extreme care and concern: Dad, aap theek hain na…?

Daya in soft smile nodded with: Bilkul… Aap ko koe shak hai kya…?

Aryaan smiled a little with: Nahin… (And then taking deep breath and dropping the topic right there, in fresh tone…) Main ny tou iss liye poucha k ager aap ki tabiyt theek nahin hoti tou aap humary sath aaj bahir dinner kerny ki opportunity miss ker daity… (Turning his gaze towards Abhijeet in smile…) Hai na Abhi uncle…?

Abhijeet, who was busy in enjoying the lovely bond the two shares, snapped out from his trance with jerk and seconded Aryaan with: Haan, haan bilkul… Ab aap k Dad ki wajah sy hum apna plan tou delay nahin karien gy na…

Aryaan smiled while looking at Daya with: Abhi uncle ny bilkul sahi kaha hai Dad aur issi liye aap ko beemar hony ki bilkul bhi koe permission nahin hai, theek…?

Daya nodded lovingly with: As you say my little angel…

DAIKHO TOU LAGE HAI YEH DARPAN,

MNN KAISA DHOKHA KHAYE RE…

And he ruffled his hair and Aryaan smilingly: Chalien phir, seedha restaurant hi chalty hain, dinner ka time bhi tou ho raha hai na… (Turning towards his family…) Sahi keh raha hoon na main ya…

ACP sir cutting him in smile with: Bilkul sahi keh rahy ho aap aur ab jaldi chalo, iss sy pehly k bhook brdasht sy bahir ho jaye…

Aryaan nodded smilingly and unintentionally stepped forward when stopped at once in shock and pain and silently took a back step when turned, feeling a soft yet firm grip on his shoulder and turned his gaze in the direction…

Aryaan seeing Daya there, hurriedly: Chalien Dad, dair ho rahi hai na…?

And he was about to turn when Daya softly: Aryaan…! (Aryaan looked at him… Daya added with great care and love…) Aaj bye nahin karo gy kya apni Mamma ko…?

Aryaan with great force, fight backed with his tears and just turned his gaze away to hide his tears from his father and replying him with just a simple node, he stepped forward once again and after placing a soft kiss on his mother's grave's Christ-Cross, he rushed out from the graveyard without stopping a single moment more…

EK PAL MEIN DARD JG'GY HAI,

EK PAL MEIN CHAEN MILY HAI,

JEEVAN KA YEHI TAMASHA RE…

All, who were looking at the path in hurt, Aryaan had vanished from, came back in senses hearing…

A calm but quite voice as: Sir chalien please…?

ACP sir looked at his younger son's face in pain and just nodded him in silent smile… Daya nodded back in small smile and after doing some silent talks with his beloved wife, he placed Jennie's favorite rose on her grave and moved out from the graveyard with his family in same silence where found his soul standing near car's door, waiting for them to come while busy on some call…

Aryaan after noticing them coming, on call: Yeah, yeah Yen, I got it… See you soon buddy… OK man, thanks dude, bye…

EK PAL MEIN DARD JG'GY HAI,

EK PAL MEIN CHAEN MILY HAI,

JEEVAN KA YEHI TAMASHA RE…

And after ending the call, Aryaan looked at Daya with: Yen ki call thi Dad…

Daya nodded in smile with: Tou iss mein easi shaklien banany wali kya baat hai champ…?

Aryaan making face: Uss ny news hi itni boring di hai Dad… Monday sy final semester start ho raha hai BBA ka aur aaj Thursday hai…

Daya chuckled with: Tou aap ny kya samjha k semester break purey saal ka hota hai, hmm…?

Aryaan protested with: Kya Dad aap bhi… Aap ko bataya tha na 1st sy CA ka 4th module bhi start ho raha hai aur Wednesday ko 1st hai… Chuttiyan itni jaldi pata nahin kyun khatm ho jati hain, hunh…

Puneet teasingly: Aani wasey tumhien yaad dila dun k tum ny purey one-and-a-half months ki chuttiyan enjoy kien hain… Aalsi ho jao gy itna ghar reh reh ker, samjhy…?

NADIYA K PANI JAISA JEEVAN,

SADIYON SY BAHATA JAYE RE…

Aryaan looking him angrily: Tumhien zada khush hony ki zarort nahin hai, tumhara bhi semester break khatam hony wala hai…

Puneet to make him feel jealous, stressingly: Haan lekin tum sy aik week zada hain mairi chuttiyan…

Aryaan shocked and childishly to Sunil: Uncle aap wapis jaty hi na issy koe academy join kerwa dien…

Before Sunil could respond, Puneet exclaimed in shock: Kya lekin kyun…?

Aryaan coldly: Kyun k mairi chuttiyan khatam ho rae hain…

Puneet frustratedly: Bhar mein gaien tumhari chuttiyan… Tumhien chuttiyan hue bhi tou mujh sy pehly thien…

Aryaan protested with: Chuttiyan nahin thien woh… Preparation leave thi, papers k liye…

Before Puneet could answer, Sunil intervened with: Bs bs, baki larai rasty mein ker laina, abhi gari mein baitho sb, chalo shabash…

INSAN TOU ANJAAN HAI,

KYA HO GA AGLY PAL YAHAN…

Younger DUO after giving angry gestures to each other, turned towards oldie DUO and: Aap log baithien pehly please…

Oldie DUO smiled affectionately and then got seated inside their car, followed by Sunil and younger DUO when Abhijeet pressed Daya's shoulder softly which brought him back from his world of thoughts with jerk and he looked at Abhijeet in question and confusion…

Abhijeet softly patted his shoulder with: Chalo, sb baith gaye hain gari mein…

Daya getting shocked, looked towards the car, where seeing all other were sitting, busy in some casual chatting, he heaved a deep sigh and followed Abhijeet inside the car…

INSAN TOU ANJAAN HAI,

KYA HO GA AGLY PAL YAHAN…

FORD S-MAX…

After they all got seated inside their ride, the driver started their journey with: Sir where are we headed to…?

Daya, who was looking outside the window in silence, coming out from his thoughts with little jerk, confusingly: Pardon, Max…?

Aryaan looked at him and then at Puneet who signaled him something in return to which, Aryaan slightly nodded while in the meantime…

Max repeated his query with: Sir, I was asking about the next destination…

Daya nodded with: Oooh OK, just a minute please… (Turned towards others with…) Kahan chalien ab…?

Dr. Salunkhy in smile: Jahan ka khana sb sy best ho…

ACP sir seconding him: Bilkul sahi Salunkhy… Bachon aap log batao, kahan hum sb sy zada enjoy karien gy, haan…?

Puneet and Aryaan after sharing a glance, simultaneously: Café Roya / Yamas…

KS KO KHABAR, KS KO FIKAR,

HUM HOON GY AGLY PAL KAHAN…

All elders changed glances like "What to do now…?" while younger DUO got busy in their argument with…

Puneet stressed with: Aani, Café Roya is much better than Yamas…

Aryaan angrily: Well there is no comparison of Yamas with any other restaurant…

Puneet teasingly: Let me remind you Aani that we are going to have our dinner not to visit a restaurant…

Aryaan frustratedly: Chen that was not funny, at all…

Puneet shrugged his shoulders with: Neither I told you any kind of joke my friend and the main thing is, this is my treat from uncle, so the restau…

Aryaan cutting him in shock: What…? Treat…? (Turned towards Daya with…) Dad, ks baat ki treat…? Aur aap ny abhi tk mujhy tou time nahin dia mairy sath shopping py jany ka aur iss ki treat k liye time nikal lia, not fair…

Daya smiled with: Ab uss ny mujhy maira baita wapis kia hai tou treat tou banti hai na yar…

JEEVAN KO JIS SY JO HAI KEHNA,

JEEVAN WOH KEHTA JAYE RE…

Seeing Aryaan getting quite again, Puneet carelessly just to tease Aryaan: Lo main tou hamesha hi kehta hoon Aani k Daya uncle mujhy tum sy zada pyar kerty hain…

Aryaan instantly fumed in anger while others were smilingly enjoying those teasing talks…

Aryaan pointed finger towards him: Daikho Chen tum ab mujhy ghussy na dilao samjhy warna tumhari punishment abhi rehti hai, main bhoola nahin hoon jo tum ny mujh sy jhoot bola Dadu logon ko ly k, acha aur…

Daya cut them with: OK now stop it you both… (Turning towards Max, who had already stopped the car after covering some distance, waiting for the command… Daya added…) Max, please move towards The Elwes Arms…

Max nodded with: Right sir…

And he drove towards the said restaurant while Daya turned his attention towards both kids, who were sitting there, making faces…

DAIKHO TOU LG'GY HAI YEH DARPAN,

MNN KAISA DHOKHA KHAYE RE…

Daya smiled and: Puneet yours treat will be given to you in tomorrow's lunch and Aryaan, tomorrow's dinner will be in yours said restaurant, fine…?

Younger DUO were looking at him in big smiles and nodded happily with: Yes…

Aryaan giving him the tight hug: You are the best father in the world, I love you…

Daya smiled sweetly while giving him a soft kiss on his head with: You are making Abhi and Sunil jealous, my son…

Both were already looking at them in smiles and he winked them mischievously while Aryaan still resting his head on his father's chest, smilingly: I know, they cannot be jealous from you…

EK PAL MEIN DARD JG'GY HAI,

EK PAL MEIN CHAEN MILY HAI,

JEEVAN KA YEHI TAMASHA RE…

Daya smiled while rubbing his head and turning his attention towards Abhijeet and Sunil: Wasey tum dono ko hua kya hai, tensed lg rahy ho… (Getting no reply, so added…) Kya hua Boss…? Kuch kehna chahty ho kya…?

Abhijeet taking deep breath, nodded with: Haan Daya… (After receiving a node from oldie DUO, added…) Woh actually hum log kal evening ki flight sy wapis jana chah rahy thy… (Taking a pause…) Tum dono ko sath ly k…

Daya, who was hearing him in silence, got shocked after hearing the last line while Aryaan too separated himself from the hug with jerk and looked at Abhijeet in shock and then shifted his gaze towards Daya, holding some scare in his eyes… ACP sir noticing the silent conversation happening there…

ACP sir softly: Monday tk wapis aa jana na, Aryaan ki classes bhi tou start ho rahi hain na…

Aryaan heaved a sigh of relief and un-deliberately: Matlab aap humain India shift hony ka nahin keh rahy thy na…?

And getting shocked on his own question, he moved his head down while Dr. Salunkhy in small smile: Nahin baita, hamesha k liye India aany ka nahin keh rahy… (Looking at Daya who was sitting silently securing Aryaan's hand in his hands, added…) Ab tou aa sakty ho na Daya…?

Daya moved his gaze up and nodded silently after feeling soft, assuring pressure on his palm with: G, hum chalien gy aap logon k sath…

EK PAL MEIN DARD JG'GY HAI,

EK PAL MEIN CHAEN MILY HAI,

JEEVAN KA YEHI TAMASHA RE…

Abhijeet caringly: Daya tumhara business…?

Daya smiled with: Don't worry Boss, main Paul sy baat ker lun ga, woh sambhal ly ga…

Abhijeet nodded and all heard Max as: Sir, we have reached at the restaurant…

Daya nodded with: OK Max, drop us here and then you can look for the parking…

Max nodded with: Right sir…

And he stopped the car on the entrance gate of the restaurant and the whole family stepped down from the car and made their way inside the restaurant in casual talks…

The Elwes Arms…

After getting seated on their seats, they placed their order which soon got served and they started enjoying their food in light chit-chat when Abhijeet observing Aryaan's quiet gestures easily got that he was mentally present on some other place… He moved his gaze towards Daya and found him busy with the rest but he could easily get that Daya was very well-awared about his son's silence but was just avoiding to disturb his soul…

NADIYA K PANI JAISA JEEVAN,

SADIYO SY BAHATA JAYE RE…

Seeing all that…

Abhijeet smoothly while ruffling Aryaan's hair: Kya baat hai yar…? Itna dair sy maira yeh pyara sa bach'cha plate mein chamch hi hila raha hai bs… (Softly placed hand under his chin with…) Bhook nahin lagi kya ya kuch aur khana hai, haan…?

Daya, who was looking at Aryaan in pain, turned his gaze towards Abhijeet in silence, who was, at the moment, was the focus of his soul's eyes and sighing heavily, he again turned his attention towards oldie DUO while Aryaan was looking at Abhijeet in silence, finding great love and care in the eyes of the person, who was staring at him wearing a soft smile on his face…

Aryaan absent-mindedly, looking deep in those ever-expressive eyes: Aap ki aankhien sach mein bolti hain Abhi uncle… (Abhijeet looked at him in amazed smile while Daya also turned his gaze towards his soul hearing such sweet comment from him when Aryaan coming out from his trance, fumbled, realizing his words with…) Maira matlab… Main woh… Sorry…

And he moved his head down when Abhijeet softly while moving his face up, lovingly: Ks baat k liye sorry bhatijy sahab, hmm…?

Aryaan smiled sweetly hearing that term and: Aap bohut achy hain Abhi uncle, bohut zada achy bhi aur bohut sweet bhi…

Abhijeet mischievously: Aap k Dad sy bhi acha…?

Aryaan shocked and unintentionally: Nahin…

Abhijeet laughed loudly hearing that while Aryaan moved his head down in embarrassment wearing a shy-cute smile on his face and Daya really nodded disappointingly in soothing smile, seeing Abhijeet how smoothly tackled his soul as now all were busy in hearing the talks of Abhijeet with his nephew…

SOO RANG HAIN, SOO ROOP HAIN,

EK PAL K MOSAM MEIN YAHAN…

Abhijeet got lost in seeing young Daya sitting in front of him with down head having a boyish grin on his face which he loved the most on his brother's face when seeing him staring at Aryaan's face from few moments…

Puneet smilingly: Uncle aap easey kya daikh rahy hain Aani k face py…?

Aryaan moved his face up hearing that while Abhijeet replied in dreamy tone as: Mairy Daya ki jawani…

Aryaan looked towards his Abhi uncle in a surprised smile, who came back in senses with his reply and looked at Daya who was engaged with his food in silence but Abhijeet easily got that Daya was just avoiding to make eye-contact with him at the moment…

Abhijeet turning his gaze towards Sunil, in fresh tone: Kyun Sunil tum ny tou Aryaan aur Daya dono ka hi bachpan sy jawani tk ka safar daikha hua hai na, lagta hai na Aryaan chota sa Daya…?

Before Sunil could response, Daya stood up with: Excuse me please, main aata hoon… Aik important call kerni hai mujhy…

And receiving node from oldie DUO and assuring glance from Aryaan, he left from there while Sunil was looking at him in pain and then looked at Abhijeet and with eyes, asked him to drop the topic who slightly nodded him with a signal to take care of Aryaan and after receiving assuring node from the later, he too stood up…

HO, SOO RANG HAIN, SOO ROOP HAIN,

EK PAL K MOSAM MEIN YAHAN…

Abhijeet after standing: Main aata hoon thori dair mein…

And he too moved from there receiving positive node from ACP sir while on Sunil's signal, Puneet made Aryaan busy with himself in their childish arguments and fights…

On the other side, Abhijeet moved out from the restaurant and found his younger brother, standing in lawn, having hands in his jacket's pockets and was silently staring the flower-beds… Abhijeet sighing deeply, stepped ahead and reaching close to Daya, softly pressed his shoulder which brought him back from his pool of thoughts with jerk and he turned towards Abhijeet…

Daya exclaimed in shock: Tum… Tum yahan kya ker rahy ho Abhi…?

Abhijeet silently: Ager yehi sawal main tum sy poucho tou…?

Daya puzzled with: Haan main woh… (Moving his gaze away…) Phone… Haan phone kerny aaya tha, bataya tou tha…

Abhijeet meaningfully: Daya…! (Daya hung his head down in silence… Abhijeet after few moments wait, added…) Ander chalo…

YEH ZINDAGI TOU HAI KHUSHI,

BACH K JAO GY TUM KAHAN…

And he was about to move when, Daya silently: Boss…!

Abhijeet turned towards him in pain as he knew well that his younger brother called him with the term such silently only when he was afraid from something… He softly pressed Daya's palm, assuring his presence with him…

Daya looking in extreme pain: Boss tum please Aryaan ko mairi perchai na kaha karo, mujhy bohut drr lagta hai iss baat sy…

Abhijeet smoothly while looking in his eyes: Kyun…? Main wohi wajah jan'nna chahta hoon Daya js sy tumhien drr lagta hai, batao mujhy woh wajah please…

Daya helplessly: Abhi main tumhien wajah shaid sahi sy explain nahin ker sakta yar lekin bs mujhy drr lagta hai… (In pain…) Abhi mujhy khushian raas nahin aatien yar, hr khushi apny sath koe na koe dukh ly k aati hai, jb lgny lgta hai k ab sb theek hai, tabhi koe na koe toofan aa jata hai… (Looked at Abhijeet with…) Mujhy drr lagta hai Boss bohut, Aryaan wasey hi bohut sensitive hai aur oper sy uss ka woh silent shell… Abhi mujhy ussy aik aur Daya nahin banana yar please…

Abhijeet taking deep breath: Lekin mujhy ussy aik aur Daya banta daikhna hai Daya… (Daya looked at him in hurt… Abhijeet added softly…) Baitho…

JEEVAN TOU BS USS KA HAI JEEVAN,

GHAM MEIN JO HASTA JAYE RE…

Daya silently sat on green grass, following his Abhi…

Abhijeet politely initiated: Daya aik taraf tum chahty ho k apny baity ko zindagi jeeta hua daikho, uss k sb complexes khatam karo aur dosri taraf tum khud ab tk ussi orphan-age centre mein jee rahy ho yar… (A silent drop fell from Daya's eye, who was looking down and was looking in extreme pain… Abhijeet in hurt secured his younger brother's hand in his hands with…) Daya nikal aa wahan sy bahir please, ab bs ker dy mairy bhai ko takleef daina… Bohut ho gaya yar, please bach'cha, nikal aa ab…

Daya just hid himself in his brother's arms securely who wrapped him tightly in his secure shell and while rubbing his head softly, was hearing his low crying voices…

DAIKHO TOU LG'GY HAI YEH DARPAN,

MNN KAISA DHOKHA KHAYE RE…

After few minutes…

Daya after getting separated, grabbed Abhijeet's hand tightly with: Abhi mujhy… Mujhy bohut drr lagta hai yar… Main Aryaan ko self-dependent daikhna chahta hoon Boss… Mujhy drr lagta hai k ager kal ko mujhy kuch ho gaya, woh nahin seh paye ga Abhi, woh…

Abhijeet cutting him in anger and pain: Aur tujhy easa kyun lagta hai k tujhy kuch ho ga, haan…?

Daya silent at once and that few moments' silence was really alarming for his elder brother when Daya, in low tone: Abhi tum janty ho k mujhy migraine problem hai… Main issi liye drive bhi nahin kerta k kahin drive kerty hoye attack aa gaya tou accident na ho jaye aur…

Abhijeet cutting him in bit fear: Daya tum kuch chupa rahy ho na mujh sy…? Main kb sy mehsos ker raha hoon, tum bohut khoye khoye sy rehny lgy ho Daya aur sb k sath ho k bhi tum kahin ghayeb ho yahan sy… Baat kya hai Daya, bata mujhy yar…

Daya, who was looking him in shock, moved his gaze away while replying him with: Kya bataon Abhi jb kuch hai hi nahin tou… (While standing…) Chalo Boss ander chalien…

Abhijeet hurriedly while standing, grabbed his wrist with: Daya…!

Daya was standing with down head… Abhijeet standing in front of him, moved his face up and after looking in his eyes, he unintentionally and instantly took a back step, looking scared…

EK PAL MEIN DARD JG'GY HAI,

EK PAL MEIN CHAEN MILY HAI,

JEEWAN KA YEHI TAMASHA RE…

Abhijeet in fear: Daya…! (Stepping forward again, grabbed his hand tightly with…) Batao mujhy Daya, kya hua hai tumhien, jawab doo please…

Daya took deep breath, added: Abhi main ny kaha na kuch nahin hai, kyun nahin yakeen kerty tum, haan…?

Abhijeet getting angry: Mairi aankhon mein daikh k bolo yehi baat…

Daya looked in those scanning eyes and instantly moved his gaze away…

Abhijeet in strict tone: Daya tum mujhy khud sy bata rahy ho ya tumhien hospital ly k jaon, haan…?

Daya looked at him with moist eyes and: Wada karo Aryaan ko nahin batao gy tum, please…

Abhijeet nodded in extreme tension while grabbing his hand tightly with: Nahin bataon ga Aryaan ko, tairi kasam… Bata mujhy Daya, please… Kya hua hai tujhy, haan…?

Daya tightening his grip on Abhijeet's hand, closed his eyes tightly with: Abhi… Main… Main kabhi bhi mrr sakta hoon Boss… (Abhijeet really missed a beat while another person, the two were not aware about whose presence, shivered badly hearing his tone and words… Daya added, gathering his whole courage…) Abhi mujhy last takriben 23 salon sy migraine problem hai yar aur issi wajah sy kuch salon sy mujhy cardinal problem bhi ho gaya hai…

Abhijeet in scared tone: Daya tujhy kabhi kuch hua bhi hai kya, haan…?

Daya mustering up his all energy nodded with: Kuch salon sy left side py pain hota tha kabhi kabhi halka halka aur takriben 1-1/2 saal pehly heart attack aaya tha… (Both persons froze on their respective places, hearing him as…) Kafi severe attack tha… Aik week tk hospital mein rehna para mujhy…

Abhijeet was stunned on his place while the other person sat on the near-by bench with thud as thankfully the bench was there otherwise he would have fallen on ground…

EK PAL MEIN DARD JG'GY HAI,

EK PAL MEIN CHAEN MILY HAI,

JEEWAN KA YEHI TAMASHA RE…

After few minutes of complete silence…

Abhijeet feeling his voice coming from far-away place: Aryaan ko pata nahin chala kya aur Sunil, woh…?

Daya shook his head with: Kisi ko kuch pata nahin hai Abhi sawaye Paul k… Aryaan ko Paul ny sambhal lia tha, business tour ka keh k aur hosh mein aany k baad main ny baat ker li thi uss sy… Ussy shak hua tha, main ny keh dia safar ki thakawt ki wajah sy ussy mairi aawaz low lg rahi hai, bs issi tarhan ussy tackle ker lia uss din, baad mein tou sahi sy baat ho jati thi… (Suddenly looked at Abhijeet with…) Abhi ager mujhy kuch ho gaya tum Aryaan ko sambhal lo gy na, haan…? (Abhijeet pulled him in tight hug and Daya in extreme pain…) Abhi please mairy baity ko mairi kam'mi mehsos mtt hony daina kabhi aur…

Abhijeet cutting him with: Daya please, band ker tu apni bkwas… Kuch nahin ho ga tujhy, kuch bhi nahin… (While weaving his head…) Daya tu ny Sunil ko kyun nahin bataya kuch bhi, haan…?

NADIYA K PANI JAISA JEEVAN,

SADIYON SY BAHATA JAYE RE…

Daya while separating, shook his head with: Nahin Abhi, Sunil ko kuch nahin batao gy tum please aur na hi kisi aur ko… Boss, Sunil brdasht nahin ker paye ga yar… Woh wasey hi mujhy ly k bohut dara rehta hai hr samey… (Taking a pause…) Abhi, cardinal problem hony ki wajah sy doctors ny mairi migraine ki medicines bhi change kien thien yar aur issi liye ab cardinal pain tou nahin hota itna lekin migraine ka problem zada ho gaya hai aur kuch din pehly jb main Turkey gaya tha tb bhi mujhy bohut severe migraine attack hua… Mairy kehny py hi doctor aur Paul ny Sunil ko itny severe attack ki asal wajah pata lagny nahin di… (In sad smile…) Main ny baad mein Sunil ko phone py halka sa ishara dia tha lekin woh itna ghussa ho gaya k call kaat di… (And he got stopped when after few moments of complete silence, Daya took deep breath and looked at Abhijeet with…) Boss wapis chalna chahiye yar, kafi time ho gaya hai, chalo…

DAIKHO TOU LG'GY HAI YEH DARPAN,

And he was about to move from there when Abhijeet grabbing his arm, pulled him in a tight hug and Daya in silent smile, hugged him very tightly while rubbing his back supportingly…
