This plot has been running in my mind from quite a long time now. I wasn't sure whether to write it or not. I haven't write in this type of topic ever. And besides, I am not sure if I want to write it or not. But it's for 'Shadow Grey'. I concluded I have hurt her a lot. And if with this story I can heal her I will be more than happy.

"MAMAAAAAAAAAAA'
"PAPAAAAAAAAAAAAA"
Sounds of tow teenagers filled the house early at morning.
Abhijeet turned in his sleep leaving Tarika and covered his ears with pillow.
"HO gaya shuru dono ka subha subha."
"Mama Ary ko dekho na… I swear mai use do jhapar laga dungi aj.""A girl's voice hear from downstairs.
"Tarika jake dekho. Kahi sach mei subha subha marpit na karne lag jai dono."Abhijeet urged Tarika.
"Mai ku jau? Tum jao na."Tarika sat up rubbing her eyes.
"Koi bhi nahi jatey hai."Abhijeet said knowing perfectly well that Tarika would go anyways.
Tarika pushed him playfully.
"Soi raho tum. Dono ko mujhe hi samalna padta hai."She got down from bed.
"Mama mai Adity ko nahi chodunga. I'm gonna kill her." A boy's voice heard.
Tarika moved downstairs quickly.
"Kya hai tum dono ka subha subha. Ku lad rahe ho aise?"
"Ädity ne mujhe subha nind se jagane ke liye bola tha.. toh maine.."said the boy.
"Toh usne ek jug pani dhal diya mujhpe." Said the girl.
"Wo uth nahi rahi thi."
''Wo really?''
''Or nahi toh kya? Or tune kya kia? Mujhe thanks kehne ke badle tune meri sari hair gel barbad kar diya.''
''And you spoiled my new story book.''
''Chup ho jao tum dono.'' Tarika said firmly.
''But mama'' They said in union.
''Ek bhi shabd nahi. Jao jake ready ho jao school ke liye.''
''Mai papa se jake sikayat karungi.'' Said Adity.
''Haan haan papa ki chamchi… ja.'' Said Aryan.
''Tu chup rahe.'' Adity procceded towards their parent's room but Tarika stopped her.
''Adity! Papa ko sone do. Wo late ai the bohot kal.''
''Par mama..''
''Breakfast ke waqt suna dena ..''
''Papa toh hamesha isi ke side lete hai.'' Said Aryan.
''Aagr ek minute ke ander tum dono apne apne kamre mei nahi gai toh mai shikayat kar dungi Abhijeet ko tum dono ki.'' Tarika said angrily.
Adity was the first to leave after hearing this. Aryan followed her.
Tarika sighed and went back to her room.
Abhijeet came out from bathroom in his formals.
''Tum uth gai? Or ek ghanta so lete.''
''Nahi meeting hai headquarter mei.. or etne shor mei kaha nind ata hai. Chup huye dono?'
''Abhi ki liye toh ho gai.''
Abhijeet smiled.
''Tum ready ho jao mai breakfast ka dekhta hu.''
''Abhijeet mai kar lungi..''
''Get ready.''
Abhijeet patted her cheek and left. Tarika smiled in return.
Its been 17 years of their marriage. They had a girl of 16 years and a boy of 14 years old. Ever since their marriage Abhijeet had taken the responsibility of breakfast. Not always but most of the days. Tarika although protested like this habit of Abhijeet very much. And Aryan was growing up like him to, helping her mother and sister in household works. She always had this plan for her children. She never wanted her boy knowing nothing about household chores. And Abhijeet helped her a lot in this. He said kids don't listen they follow.
Keeping her thoughts aside she headed to bathroom to take a shower.
Here in kitchen Aryan joined Abhijeet.
"Papa, help karu?''
''Kardo. Jara fruits kat do.''
''Mai kat ti hu.'' Adity said from dinning.
Aryan groaned.
''Lade ku apne di se?'' Abhijeet asked Aryan.
''Di! Papa ap jara isse puche last kab usne mujhe di bolaya hai?"
''Tujhe di bolaiga bhi kon?'' Aryan said irriataingly, ''Or papa. Ap bas uski hi side lo.''
''Mai kisi ke bhi side nahi le raha. Bas puch raha hu.''
Aryan opened his mouth to argue but then shut it thinking something.
''Sorry papa. Sorry Di.''
Adity almost choked while eating fruits listening her brother calling her Di. Aryan joined her on dining table smirking.
''Mama,'' Aidity asked her mother seeing her sitting down opposite to her, ''mai sapna toh nahi dekh rahi?''
''Dekho mama… isliye mai nahi bolata ise. Bechari shock mei chali jati hai.'' Aryan laughed. Adity made a face.
Tarika hit Aryan's head lightly.
Abhijeet too joined them on dining table. They were having there breakfast in silence when suddenly Aryan started to cough intentionally to get attention. Abhijeet was reading newspaper while drinking tea.
"Kuch bolna hai toh bol do.. aise barbar khas ku rahe ho?" Abhijeet said, not looking up from his newspaper.
"Wo papa... wo maine.. jo.. aap... app ko.."
"Saaf saaf bolo jo bolna hai.."
"Actually papa," Adity interrupted, "Wo Aryan ne DSLR leke deno ko bola tha na.. toh wahi puch raha hai ki ap doge ki nahi.."
Aryan shot her an angry glance while she just shrugged her shoulders in a way as if saying she helped him only.
Abhijeet kept his news paper aside.
"Maine mana kia tha kya tumhe?" Abhijeet asked Aryan.
"Nahi papa.. wo bas mai puch raha tha... kab.. I mean.."
"Ary." He paused, "Last month Adity ko phone leke diya hamne."
"Expensive wala.. "
"Haan.. we can wait for a while, right?"
"Papa... ap doge na?"
"Ary papa keh rahe hai na.." Tarika interrupted.
Abhijeet stopped her by eyes.
"Of course beta. Bas thoda der se.. tum bata dena konsa chahiye tumhe.."
"Thank you papa. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Mai aj hi apko batata hu.. jayada expensive nahi lena hai.."
Abhijeet smiled at him.
"Acha papa.. apko pata hai subha kya hua.." Adity started narrating the morning incident.
Tarika shaking her head left for the kitchen and then for her room to get her purse.
Abhijeet kept listening to his kids with patient.
"Ab ap hi batao papa dosh kiska jayada hai?"
"Make me a judge or make me a driver." Abhijeer said.
"What?" Both the kid shouted.
"Yes. Either I'll give my opinion on your arguement or I'll drive you school. Choice is your. Hurry up."
"Driver." Aryan shoutef within a second.
"No. I want to know who's fault it was!" said Adity.
"Dad toh terehi side lenge..."
"Ary.." Abhijeet started.
"Maine pehle bola na.. toh you are driving us school."
"FINE." Adity shouted and left for her room to bring her school bag. Aryan did the same. They left for the car when Tarika joined Abhijeet.
"Chale?"
"Ye Aryan.."
"Abhijeet.. do do teenagers ko samalna mushkil hai.. and boys get more distant at this period. Everything will be fine."
"Yeah.. just let me know if I am too rude with them."
"I will." Tarika smiled and both of them left for the school.
Some days later...
Aryan and Adity reached home at evening time together from Daya's house. They went there directly from school. Aryan's mood was not good. Adity was one chating continuously.
"Ary kuch nahi hoga... tu tension mat le. Daya uncle hai na.. mai unhe phone karke batati hu na..wo samal lenge."
"Papa bohot gussa karenge yaar.. "
"Mai batauingi na unhe ki it wasn't your fault completely."
"But I should have controlled my anger.. papa hamesha kehte hai.."
"Ab gussa toh gene mei hai.. use keisey control karte hai!"
Adity shrugged.
Aryan moved to his room. He was about the shut the door when he noticed a box wrapped with paper on his table. He quickly opened it and found his desired DSLR camera.
"Adity! ADITY!"
Adity enetered within a second.
"Kya hai? Ku chilla raha hai?" She said, "Oh my God! Papa never told me about this.."
But Aryan suddenly got silent.
"Kya hua?" asked Adity, "Pasand nahi aya?"
"Nahi.. matlba ye toh bohot expensive wala hai.. maine papa ko ye wala toh nahi bataya tha."
"Haan but tujhe chahiye toh yahi tha na?"
"Matlab tune papa ko.."
"Papa ne khud pucha toh maine bata diya."
"I don't know khush hona chaote ya guilt."
"Khush." Adity laughed, "And I need treat.. "
"Pizza?"
"Tch.."
"Ice cream?"
"Tch."
"Toh?"
"Pizza and ice cream."
"Fine."
"Diya ko bhi bolainge. Okay?"
"Okay. Btw tune use phone kia?"
"Abhi toh ai na ham.."
"She must be very sad.."
"She's fine."
"Agar tune roka nahi hota toh mai us Ranveer ke dant tor deta.. kamina kahika.."
"Ary.." Adity started when Tarika entered.
"Abhitaq dress change nahi kia tum dono ne.. chalo fresh ho jao.. mai Birju kaka ko bolti hu nasta laga de... "
"Birju kaka subha subha ku nahi ate? Breakfast.." Adity asked.
"Kuki mai chahti hu tum dono bhi kuch kam karo.. Breakfast hamesha hamme se koi hi prepapre karega..."
"Par.."
"Get fresh."
Tarika turned to leave but realized Aryna hadn't spoken at all.
"Camera pasand nahi aya Tumhe?"
"Nahi mama.. bohot acha hai. Papa kaha hai?"
"Wo Pune gai hai.. subha lotenge. Bat kya hai Aryan?"
"Ku.. kuch nahi.."
"Adity.. kuch hua hai kya school mei?"
"Nahi mama.. kuch bhi nahi.." Adity said.
"Mama.. bohot bhuk lagi hai.. Mai fresh hoke ata hu haan.." Ary left for the bathroom hurriedly.
"Mai bui ati hu." Aditu left too.
"Kamal hai!"
She got a a call from Abhijeet.
"Haan Abhijeet bolo" She said coming out of Aryan's room, "Khatam hua meeting?"
"Break hai.."
"Wo.. kab taq lotoge.?"
"Subha. Bache ai?"
"Haan.. Daya ke waha the. Abi lotey. Ajeeb behave kar rahe hai.. Adity bhi kuch nahi bata rahi."
"Aryan ne marpit kia school mei."

"Principle ne phone kia tha.. Milne ko bolaya hai.. Agar mai subha taq nahi apaya toh tum manage kar logi?"
"Haan.. chali jaungi mai.. but.."
"Aryan se kuch mat kehna.."

"Etna tension mei tha Thik se dekha taq nahi usne.."
