India…

Mumbai…

ACP Sir's Home…

While seeing the family enjoying their dinner in light casual talks, Daya looked towards ACP sir in "Shall we…?" expressions and receiving "Green" signal from him, Daya moved his gaze after giving him an assuring node in secret…

Daya casually: Aur phir Freddy, tum logon ka Forensic department kaisa ja raha hai…? Masti waghaira hoti hai ab bhi ya sirf formal relation hi hai…?

Freddy replied as: Masti kahan sir… Jb tk Salunkhy sir thy tb tk thora bohut hans bol lia kerty thy Forensic lab. mein, phir tou sirf formal link hi bn k reh gaya Forensic department sy…

Sunil in light tone while paving the way to come to the point, asked as: Wasey Salunkhy sir, aap retire kb hoye CID sy…? Matlab aap ny aur ACP sir ny aik sath hi retirement li ya alag alag…?

Dr. Salunkhy replied as: Hum ny takriben sath hi li retirement… (Inhaled deeply with…) Main laina tou bohut pehly chahta tha lekin Pradyuman mana nahin k jb tk yeh CID Bureau mein hai, issy main Forensic mein dikhna chahiye hoon…

Puneet while dragging the topic as: Kyun uncle, aap jaldi retirement kyun laina chahty thy forensic sy…?

Dr. Salunkhy gave him a faint smile with: Bs yunhi baita…

Aryaan deliberately but in casual tone asked as: Wasey chhoty Dadu, Dadu ko back dainy k liye tou Ad'da thy Bureau mein aur Dadu ki retirement k baad Ad'da ny Dadu ki sb responsibilities take-over ker lien, aap ki retirement k baad aap ki responsibilities ks ny take over kien…?

Dr. Salunkhy silently replied with: Dr. Sameer ny… Unn ka Mumbai transfer ker dia gaya tha kyun k Mumbai branch mein koe senior experienced doctor nahin tha tb…

Avni in fake confused tone while hitting the point: Kyun sir…? Dr. Tarika thien na aap sy next tou woh kyun nahin banien…? Unn ka experience kmm tha kya…?

Dr. Salunkhy in hurt-filled silent tone, in actual, un-intentionally whispered as: Uss ka experience nahin, zindagi kmm thi… (And a drop fell from his eye, noticed by all present there while inhaling deeply, he stood up with…) Excuse me please, main aata hoon…

And he instantly left from there with fast steps leaving all silent people behind… After few moments of complete silence…

Avni in slow tone, said as: I am sorry, main…

ACP sir cut her softly with: Nahin baita please, tum bura feel nahin karo… Tarika ko ly k Salunkhy bohut zada sensitive hai aur issi liye hum uss ka ziker nahin kerty… Bach'chon ko tou aaj tk nahin pata uss k barey mein kuch bhi… (While standing told them as…) Main Salunkhy ko daikhta hoon, tum log bach'chon ko bata doo sb…

And he left from there, receiving assuring node from DUO…

Inhaling deeply Abhijeet turned his gaze towards the kids and initiated as: Tarika, humari Forensic expert thi aur Salunkhy sir ki junior… Forensic mein Salunkhy sir sy next uss ka hi rank tha aur jaisy hum sir k baity hain, wasey hi Tarika, Salunkhy sir ki baiti thi…

Eshaan silently: Tou phir chhoty Dadu ny ya aap sb mein sy kisi ny kabhi unn ka naam kyun nahin lia…? Aap sb ny hum sy kyun chupae yeh baat…?

Bhavna in calm tone: Thori daer pehly naam lia unn ka tou aap ny aap k chhoty Dadu ka reaction daikha na baita…? (Eshaan nodded while silently moving his gaze down… Bhavna sighed deeply with…) Bs issi liye nahin bataya kabhi… Aur aap logon sy chhupaya nahin tha baita, bs kabhi bataya nahin tha… Chhupana hota tou bhabhi aur Sunil ko pehly hi mn'na na ker daity iss barey mein baat kerny sy, hmm…

Eshaan nodded understandably, giving her a light smile when…

Mohina confusingly: Lekin Tarika auntie ab hain kahan…? Chhoty Dadu naraz hain kya unn sy jo unn k reference sy hurt ho jaty hain…?

Daya slightly shook his head with: Nahin baita, Salunkhy sir naraz nahin hain Tarika sy… (Silently in sad smile…) Bohut pyar kerty hain doctor sahab, Tarika sy, woh tou kabhi thori daer k liye bhi naraz nahin ho sakey apni baiti sy tou ab jb k Tarika ki death ho…

Pelvisha in shocked tone, cut him as: Kya…! Tarika auntie ki death ho gae hai…? Issi liye aap sb unn k barey mein baat nahin kerty kya…? (And receiving a silent node from the later, added silently as…) Kb hue auntie ki death…?

Abhijeet taking a deep breath replied as: Tarika ki death ko takriben 23 saal ho gaye hain…

Eshaan instantly exclaimed in shock as: Chachu bhi tou 23 saal… (And he got stopped on his unintentional exclaim and slowly whispered as…) Sorry…

Abhijeet getting the reason well of his son's that exclaim, in calm tone: Hmm unn dinon aagy peechy bohut kuch hua humari zindgion mein… Pehly Daya ghayeb ho gaya aur uss k kuch hafton baad hi Tarika ki humari aankhon k samny death ho gae aur hum kuch bhi nahin ker sakey…

Eshaan caringly: Kaisy hue auntie ki death, Papa…?

Abhijeet in quiet tone: Tarika ki death humary Bureau mein hi hue thi… Forensic mein evidences ko ly k bohut zada care kerni hoti hai k koe bhi evidence kisi ghalt hath na lg sakien aur na hi guum hoien issi liye Forensic doctors apna zada kaam khud hi kerty hain… Uss rooz bhi kuch evidences thy jo testing k liye central lab. bhaijny thy aur Tarika unhien evidences ko ly k ja rahi thi jb jaldi mein uss ka paon slip ho gaya aur woh seriyon sy girr gae… Srr mein internal injury ki wajah sy ussy brain-hemorrhage ho gaya aur within minutes uss ki death ho gae, hospital ly jany tk ka time nahin mila…

Mohina silently: Chhoty Dadu bhi thy kya wahan…?

Abhijeet nodded with: Hmm uss ki cheekh suun k hum sb hi pohanch gaye thy wahan aur uss ny Salunkhy sahab k samny apni aakhri sans li…

Eshaan quietly: Chhoty Dadu tou bohut zada dukhi ho gaye hoon gy na…?

Abhijeet smiled sadly with: Hmm bohut zada dukhi… Aaj tk ussi dukh mein jee rahy hain… Bohut pyar kerty hain Salunkhy sir, Tarika sy iss liye hum sb ny khamoshi sy khud sy hi wada ker lia k js tarhan aik dosry ko takleef sy bachany k liye hum log Daya ka ziker nahin kerty, uss rooz sy hum ny Tarika ka ziker bhi nahin kia…

Puneet slowly: Daya uncle, aap aur Baba tou auntie k antim-sanskar mein bhi shamil ho sakien hoon gy na…?

Daya sighed deeply with: Ji baita… Mairy ghayeb hony k baad Sunil ny bhi Mumbai chhour dia aur humara yahan sy koe link hi nahin reh saka, issi liye hum jaan nahin paye k Tarika kb hum sy itni dour chali gaye…

Aryaan while suggesting as: Dad, Tarika auntie k antim-sanskar mein tou pura priwar shamil nahin ho saka tha lekin ab tou unn ka pura priwar hai na tou hum log Tarika auntie k liye pooja nahin rakh sakty kya, Chhoty Dadu ko bhi ach'cha lagy ga shaid, hai na Eshaan…?

Eshaan nodded while seconding him with: Ji bhaiya, mujhy bhi yeh suggestion bohut achha laga hai, Chhoty Dadu aik duum sy bohut dukhi ho gaye hain… (Turned towards Abhijeet with…) Papa easa ho sakta hai kya please…?

Abhijeet nodded in light smile with: Ji baita, zaror ho sakta hai… (Stood up with…) Main sir sy baat ker k aata hoon…

And receiving assuring node from the people present there, he left from there towards inside the home…

Where on the other side…

After coming inside the home, ACP sir directly made his way towards his own room and entering inside, found his buddy-cum-brother sitting on the bed while grabbing a photo-frame in his hands…

Taking a deep breath, ACP sir stepped forward and while pressing his shoulder supportively, got seated beside him…

Dr. Salunkhy still looking towards Tarika's smiling photo, silently: Pata hai Pradyuman, main ny Tarika k liye bohut si cheezien sochi thien… Js rooz inn dono ny bataya k inhon ny shadi ker li hai, Daya sy zada mujhy Tarika k uss kadam sy takleef hue, bohut ghussa aur bohut takleef aur uss rooz ghar ja k main bohut roya tha… Tb main ny khud ko yeh keh k sambhal lia k Tarika mairi khud ki baiti nahin thi tabhi itna bold step ly gae aur mujh sy pouchhna tou dour, batana tk zarori nahin samjha lekin aaj main kehta hoon Pradyuman k iss ny mairy liye jo kia, woh shaid mairi khud ki baiti bhi kabhi na ker pati… (ACP sir caringly rubbed his arm while taking him in a side-hug while Dr. Salunkhy continued as…) Lekin mairi baiti k sath kismet ny bohut bura kia Pradyuman… (Moisture started coming in his voice while adding as…) Yeh koe umr thi iss ki hum sb sy dour janey ki, itni dour k wapis aany ki koe umeed bhi nahin, koe umeed nahin…

And he started crying in low voice where ACP sir had smoothly wrapped him in a comforting hug…

ACP sir consolingly while rubbing his back: Salunkhy tu sambhal khud ko please, jo hona hota hai woh ho k rehta hai, niyati sy koe nahin lrr sakta, koe bhi nahin…

Dr. Salunkhy in teary tone, still in hug: Main ny sambhal lia tha khud ko Pradyuman, kisi na kisi tarhan sambhal lia tha… Abhijeet k liye khud ko bilkul compose ker lia tha ta k woh kisi tarhan sy zindagi mein wapis aa paye lekin jb sy pata chala k mairi baiti ny woh sb kyun kia aur ks ks takleef sy guzri hai woh, mairy jaisy sb zakham phir sy taza ho gaye hain yar… Main uss k aakhri waqt mein uss k sath tk nahin tha, mairi baiti ko himmet aur pyar dainy k liye, kitni akeli ho gi woh, kitni akeli…

SHIKWAAA NAHIN KISI SY, KISI SYYYY GILAAA NAHINNN,

SHIKWAAA NAHIN KISI SY, KISI SYYYY GILAAA NAHINNN,

NASEEEEEB MEIN NAHIN THA JO, HUM KOOO, MILAAA NAHINNN…

ACP sir smoothly separated him from the consolingly hug and softly wiping off his teary face, grabbed his hand with: Salunkhy woh itni zindagi hi likhwa k aai thi yar aur uss ko yunhi jana tha lekin daikh, uss ny apni itni si zindagi mein hi woh sb ker dia k kitny logon ko zinda rehny ki wajah dy gae… Ager Tarika, Daya ka sath dainy k liye razi na hoti tou Abhijeet ko tou hum log khoty hi lekin Daya bhi bikhar jata aur inn teenon ka bikharna, matlab hum sb ka bikharna, sb khatam ho jata Salunkhy, sb kuch… (Inhaling deeply while wrapping his hand in his both hands, added as…) Unn donon k uss faisly ny waqti tour py bohut kuch khatam kia, kafi kuch bikhra lekin unhon ny woh sb kuch samaitny ki wajhien bhi dy dien aur hum ny aik dosry ka sahara bn k sb kuch samait lia… Main aaj bhi sochta hoon Salunkhy k bohut hdd tk possible tha k shaid hum Daya ko bhi wapis na daikh paty, woh emotionally jitna weak hai, woh aatma-hatya tk ker sakta tha lekin Sunil ki di hue kasam ny uss ko easa kuch bhi kerny sy rok'ky rakha… (Cupping his face, made him looked towards himself with…) Aur unn donon ny woh sb ks lia kia Salunkhy…? Tarika ks liye apnon sy dour, kisi ghaer daish mein ja k apni sansien puri kerny k liye taiyar ho gae…? Ks cheez ny ussy itni himmet di k uss ny humary samny aik baar bhi apni takleef nahin aany di…? (Softly…) Hum ny Salunkhy, humary hasty khailty bhavisher ny ussy woh sb kerny ki himmet di… Uss ny humary liye itna kia, itna socha hum sb ka sirf iss liye k humari aankhon mein kabhi aansu na aaien aur tu roo raha hai…? Janta hai na tu k tairi baiti ko tairy aansuon sy takleef hoti hai, haan…?

Dr. Salunkhy nodded while dropping few fresh tears and taking out his face, he just hugged ACP sir tightly who too wrapped him securely while rubbing his back and absorbing a father's tears on his supportive shoulder…

After few moments oldie DUO got separated hearing a door knock and after Dr. Salunkhy had wiped off his wet face…

ACP sir calmly: Drwaza khula hai…

Abhijeet entered inside and on the very first glance got well what had happened there, seeing Dr. Salunkhy's red face and moist eyes so without asking anything about that all…

Abhijeet silently: Sir, jaisa hum ny socha tha, bach'chon ko bata dia hai aur woh pooja k liye convince bhi ho gaye hain…

ACP sir nodded while inhaling a deep breath with: Theek hai, sb sy kaho k ja k change ker lien… Daya ny bataya hai, uss ki pandit ji sy baat ho gae thi, aadhy ghanty mein nikalty hain…

Abhijeet nodded with: Ji sir…

And giving a comforting glance to Dr. Salunkhy, he left from there…

ACP sir after standing, gave a supportive pat on his buddy's shoulder with: Chal Salunkhy, tu bhi change ker ly…

Dr. Salunkhy nodded silently while standing and made his way inside the bathroom after taking out his clothes from his bag…

After around half-an-hour, three cars were running on the road having kids with Freddy, Sunil and Avni in Quails, oldie DUO and DUO in Abhijeet's car and Vivesha, Bhavna and Manisha in Vivek's car…

Daya was silently looking outside the window when his mind took him towards some past memories where…

Daya after entering inside the home, stepped in the lounge when getting shocked, he hurried with: Tarika…!

Tarika seeing him returned, hurriedly wiped off her wet eyes while hiding something with: Tum kb aaye Daya…

Daya while sitting beside her: Tum roo kyun rahi ho aur yeh kya chhupa rahi ho tum…? Kya hua hai Tarika, batao mujhy please…

Tarika shook her head with: Kuch nahin Daya, main bs…

And she got stopped seeing him grabbing the thing himself who got shocked, finding it Abhijeet's marriage invitation…

After few moments of complete silence…

Daya silently: Abhi aaya tha kya…?

Tarika slightly shook her head with: Sunil k ghar dy gaya tha yeh, humain dainy k liye… Tum thy nahin ghar py tou Sunil mujhy dy gaya kyun k shaam mein sha…

And her voice got chocked in her throat where Daya getting hurt, smoothly wrapped her in a consoling hug whose tears started getting absorbed in his shoulder…

Tarika in wet tone: Bhagwan k paas ja k main unn sy yeh aik sawal zaror karon gi Daya k jb unhon ny hum donon ko aik dosry ki kismet mein likha hi nahin tha tou humain aik dosry k kareeb hi kyun laye…? Kyun kia bhagwan ny humary sath easa, kyun…?

And she started crying in low voice where Daya kept rubbing her head, holding moisture in his eyes too…

SHIKWAAA, NAHIN KISI SY, KISI SYYYY GILA NAHINNN,

NASEEEEEB MEIN NAHIN THA JO, HUM KOOO, MILAAA NAHIN,

NASEEEEEB MEIN NAHIN THA JO, HUM KOOO, MILAAA NAHINNN…

Daya came out from his thoughts because of the pressure horn voice and found a truck standing next to their car as they were stopped on the signal… Sighing deeply, he looked around to find all silent people around so moving his gaze from there, he again started looking outside when another scene hit the walls of his memories…

After attending the wedding, Daya and Tarika were present inside their lounge, after reaching back home when…

Daya softly: Tum theek ho na Tarika…? (Tarika just nodded silently while a drop fell from her eye noticed by him who consolingly pressed her shoulder with…) Main ny issi liye kaha tha tumhien k main akela attend ker laita hoon Abhijeet ki shadi, uss sy kisi ko shak bhi nahin hota aur tumhien itni takleef bhi nahin hoti…

Tarika smiled sadly with: Mujhy uss larki ko daikhna tha Daya js ki kismet mein bhagwan ny ussy likha tha…

Daya asked meaningfully as: Tumhien yakeen hai kya k unn ki kismet mein Abhi ho ga…? Tumhien lagta hai kya k Abhi kabhi kisi aur ko apna paye ga…?

Tarika a deep breath, nodded with: Jo larki iss tooty aur bikhry hoye insan k sath jurny k liye uss waqt taiyar ho gae jb woh uss ka kuch bhi nahin tha tou ab jb k Abhijeet k naam ka sindour Bhavna ki mang mein lg chuka hai tou ab woh apny pati ko samaitny k liye kya kuch nahin karey gi Daya… (Smiled a little with…) Mujhy pura vishwas hai Daya k aik din easa zaror aaye ga inn donon ki zindagi mein jb yeh aik ho jaien gy… (Inhaling deeply, in strong tone…) Abhijeet ko uss ki zindagi ki hr woh khushi zaror miley gi js py uss ka haq hai, zaror miley gi…

Daya in silence just wrapped her in a side-hug, who silently rested her head on his shoulder with closed eyes…

TU MILLL SAKA NA HUM KO, TASSALLIII TOU MIL GAEEE,

TU MILLL SAKA NA HUM KO, TASSALLIII TOU MILLL GAEEE,

AAYIII BAHAAR SHAAAAKH PY, KALLIII, BHI KHIL GAEEEE…

Daya opened his eyes feeling someone calling his name and found Abhijeet calling him when seeing around, he found they had reached in front of the mandir and the later in silence was asking him to get down and giving him a quiet node in faint smile, he moved down from the car and Abhijeet moved forward to park it…

Soon whole family gathered in front of mandir's stairs and they started stepping up the stairs in silence… After reaching there, they got seated there as the arrangements had already done and pandit ji started the vid'dhi where Dr. Salunkhy sat there to perform the rituals…

ARMAAAA THA HUM KO JS KA, WOH GULLL KHILAAA NAHINNN,

ARMAAAA THA HUM KO JS KA, WOH GULLL KHILAAAA NAHIN…

Daya was silently looking at the flames coming out from the agni when again moved back in his memory lanes where…

Tarika was laying on hospital bed while looking at the ceiling in complete silence when came out from her thoughts feeling a soft touch of hand on her head and looked in the direction to find Daya standing there…

Daya in light smile while sitting on the stool: Kaisi ho…?

Tarika silently: Theek…

Daya softly: Yeh tou bohut achha hai aur tum tou kal sy bhi zada fresh lg rahi ho, daikhna dheery dheery tum bilkul theek…

Tarika cut him silently with: Main doctor hoon Daya, bhaly hi Forensic chour di hai lekin doctor main aaj bhi hoon… (Daya moved his head down while dropping a silent tear when Tarika continued in same tone, still looking towards the ceiling…) Aur phir ab theek ho k karon gi bhi kya, uss ko tou khud hi kisi aur ko dy aai hoon main… (Smiled sadly with…) Janty ho Daya, main ny bohut kuch socha tha humari zindagion ko ly k… Abhijeet ny kabhi zaban sy kaha nahin lekin uss ki aankhien hi itna bolti hain k ussy alfaz ki zarort hi nahin perti… (Chuckled with moisture in her eyes with…) Main ny tou color-scheme tk soch li thi humari shadi ki, ma…

And she got stopped while tears rolled down from her eyes in great speed…

NASEEEEEB MEIN NAHIN THA JO, HUM KOOO, MILA NAHIN,

NASEEEEEB MEIN NAHIN THA JO, HUM KO, MILAAA NAHIN…

Daya came back with a slight jerk feeling a soft pressure on his shoulder and looked in the direction to find his soul sitting there, looking at him in concern… Smiling a little, he gave a light pat on his cheek and with signal asked him to concentrate on the pooja while turning his gaze towards in front of him again…

Daya was trying to concentrate on the vid'dhi when again moved back in the memory lane where…

Daya entered inside the room to find Tarika gazing at the wall, having a small smile on her face… Smiling a little, he stepped forward and getting seated beside her, softly pressed her hand, taking the later back in present with jerk…

Tarika looking him there, unintentionally exclaimed as: Mujhy hath nahin lagao Daya, it is dangerous for you…

Daya's soft facial expressions got stiff where Tarika had moved her gaze away after realizing her words when…

Daya grabbed her hand with: Tarika tum sy easi fazool baat ki umeed nahin thi mujhy… (Tarika looked at him where he added in same stiff tone…) Aagy sy kabhi easi fazool baat sochi bhi na tou yeh hath sari zindagi yunhi paker k baitha rahon ga main, samjhi tum…?

Tarika smiled silently while looking in his eyes with: Kyun, mairy janey k baad maira hath kaat lo gy kya tum…?

Daya getting angry, in pain-filled tone: Tarika please yar…

Tarika smiled a little with: OK sorry…

Daya jerked his head with: Achha chhoro yeh sb aur yeh batao k deewar py kya daikh k iss tarhan muskura rahi thi tum…?

Tarika smiled silently with: Kuch nahin bs yunhi purani zindagi mein chali gae thi…

Daya looked at her and stood up with: Main wheel-chair ly k aata hoon, walk py chalty hain…

And without waiting for any reply he left from there…

YAADOOON KI JHILMILATI, PARCHHAAAIYOOON K DINNN,

YAADOOON KI JHILMILATI, PARCHHAAAIYOOON K DINNN,

KT'TYYY NAHIN HAIN TANHA, TANHAAAAIYON K DINNN…

A drop falling from his eye, took him back from that hurtful journey and he looked towards Tarika's smiley photo… And few moments later, pandit ji told them about the vid'dhi had got completed with all the rituals, so the family also stood up in same silence and after showing their gratitude to the pandit ji, they left from their in same silence… Getting seated inside the cars, their journey back towards the home got started…

Daya looked towards Dr. Salunkhy to find him looking outside in silence while reminisces of his few minutes back doing were still present on his face… Inhaling deeply, Daya softly pressed his hand making his gaze turning towards him…

Daya silently whispered as: Ussy kisi sy koe shikayet nahin thi sir aur aap sy tou bilkul bhi nahin… Ussy jo shikayet thi bhagwan ji sy thi aur kehti thi k unn k paas ja k, unn sy sb kuch pouchy gi…

Dr. Salunkhy in low pitch tone: Kya pouchna tha ussy bhagwan ji sy…?

Daya smiled sadly with: Bohut kuch…

And giving a silent glance over Abhijeet, he smoothly rested his head on Dr. Salunkhy's shoulder who in small-sad-smile softly spread hand on his head while turning his gaze back towards outside where Daya kept sitting in same posture when his mind again took him in the memories of his loving-and-true friend…

Daya was sitting beside Tarika while reading a magazine when seeing her awakening, he closed the magazine and…

Daya in fresh tone: Good morning my friend…

Tarika smiled slightly with: Good morning, kafi khush lg rahy ho aaj, kahin koe maem tou nahin pasand aa gae…?

Daya smiled shyly with: Kya Tarika tum bhi…

Tarika smiled sweetly and after few moments pause, softly: Daya…!

Daya, who was busy in checking her medicines, looked up at her with: Hmm…?

Tarika softly: Tum shadi ker laina Daya…

Daya's smile got vanished and he moved his gaze away with: Tum ny medicine tou miss…

Tarika cut him with: Baat ko mtt badlo Daya… (Daya looked at her while she forwarded her hand towards him with…) Promise karo mujhy Daya k tum akely nahin raho gy… Tumhien jeena ho ga Daya aur yakeen karo, tum itny strong ho k tum jeo gy bhi… Please Daya promise karo mujhy k jb bhi tumhien kisi larki mein apni life-partner dikhy gi, tum ussy propose kerny mein daer nahin karo gy, please…

Daya taking a deep breath, nodded her holding moisture in his eyes and grabbed her hand with: Promise…

And placing a soft kiss on her forehead, he stood up and was about to move from there when got stopped in shock seeing Abhijeet's smiley photo, present beside her and came into his notice because of the moving of sheet a little and he looked up at her who reading his gaze, looked there and after glancing over him, silently closed her eyes…

HAI CHAAHATON KA DILKASH, AB SILLLSILA NAHINNN,

HAI CHAAHATON KA DILKASH, AB SILSILAAA NAHIN,

NASEEEEEB MEIN NAHIN THA JO, HUM KOOO, MILAAAA NAHINNN…

And he opened his eyes listening ACP sir's soft whisper, who had turned to have some talks with Dr. Salunkhy because of feeling continuous silence in the atmosphere …

ACP sir asked as: Daya soo gaya hai kya…?

Daya opening his eyes, gave him a small-shy smile with: Nahin sir, soo nahin raha tha bs yunhi baitha hua tha…

Dr. Salunkhy in light smile: Kya Pradyuman, kitna achha lg raha tha maira Daya bach'cha uss tarhan sy baitha hua, easa laga jaisy purana Daya wapis aa gaya aur tum ny issy uth'tha dia…

ACP sir chuckled with: Achha theek hai, sb itny chup hain yahan, main bore ho gaya itni khamoshi sy…

Dr. Salunkhy feeling Abhijeet's complete silence: Tou apny iss barey baity ka mohan-varat turwao na, kb sy aik lafz bhi nahin suna iss k mun sy…

ACP sir softly pressed his elder son's shoulder with: Abhijeet, Salunkhy sahi keh raha hai… Kya baat hai baita, itny chup kyun ho tum…?

Abhijeet smiled fakely with: Kuch nahin sir, bs yunhi…

Daya silently: Sir aap logon ko Tarika k aakhri dinon ki aik bata sakta hoon kya please…?

And receiving instant change in their body languages but still silence in reply, got the answer quiet well…

Daya inhaling deeply, initiated as: Tarika k janey sy doo din pehly ki baat hai, main gaya tha uss sy milny aur…

Daya entered inside her room to find her laying with closed eyes so called out softly as: Tarika…!

Tarika opening her eyes, looked towards him and gave him a faint smile…

Daya while placing a rose-bouquet beside her, got seated on the chair with: Tum ny lunch ker lia kya…?

Tarika giving him a silent node, slowly: Sunil sy baat hue kya tumhari…?

Daya nodded with: Haan, aaj subah hi hue…

Tarika asked silently as: Abhijeet k attitude mein koe change aaya hai kya, Bhavna ko ly k…?

Daya went silent where sighing heavily, Tarika moved her gaze away… After few moments of complete silence…

Daya softly: Tarika tum tension nahin lo please, dheery dheery sb theek ho jaye ga…

Tarika in helpless tone: Tumhara bhai itna ziddi kyun hai Daya…? Pehly shadi k liye itni mushkil sy manaya ussy aur aap humary kiye ki saza Bhavna ko dy raha hai woh… Ager uss ki taraf sy nirash ho k Bhavna ny ussy chhour dia tou kya ho ga Daya…?

Daya said consolingly as: Easa kuch nahin ho ga Tarika, bharosa rakho tum… Sir ny ager bhabhi ko pasand kia hai Abhi k liye tou kuch soch k hi yeh step lia ho ga unhon ny aur tum ny khud hi tou kaha tha k bhabhi ager Abhi ka hath uss samey thaam sakti hain jb woh unn k liye unanjan tha tou ab kyun chourny lagien woh ussy…

Tarika shook her head helplessly with: Bhagwan karey easa hi ho Daya, main ussy us ski life mein set hota hua daikhna chahti hoon, kabhi kabhi mujhy bohut drr lagta hai k humara yeh sb kerna kahin bekar na chala jaye…

Daya assuringly: Nahin jaye ga kuch bhi bekar, bharosa rakho… Bhagwan ji sy ager tumhari narazgi chal rahi hai tou Abhi aur baki sb py bharosa rakho, aik din aaye ga jb sb kuch theek ho jaye ga, hmm…

Tarika nodded in light smile with moist eyes and Daya just gave her a light assuring smile in return…

SHIKWAAA, NAHIN KISI SY, KISI SYYYY GILA NAHINNN,

SHIKWAAA, NAHIN KISI SY, KISI SYYYY GILAAA NAHINNN,

NASEEEEEB MEIN NAHIN THA JO, HUM KOOO, MILA NAHINNN…

NASEEEEEB MEIN NAHIN THA JO, HUM KOOO, MILAAA NAHIN…

Daya added in calm tone: Abhi, tum samjh gaye ho gy k main ny tumhien yeh sb kyun bataya hai…

Abhijeet remained silent and the remaining journey no one of them spoke anything…
