In Mumbai -

Shreya reached to her house she was very happy to return to her home as she was posted in kolhapur and didn't meet her family since 6months.

Shreya rang the doorbell her brother Sachin (Chottu) opened the door.

Sachin (happily) - Di aap aa gaye? (he happily hugged her) pata hai Mai aapko kitna miss kar raha tha?

Shreya broke the hug "Mene bhi bahut miss kiya tum sab ko"

Shreya entered in the house his father gets really happy to see her. She went near him and touched his feet and took blessings

Ramlal - Khush raho beta! Bade dino baad vaapas aayi ho hum sab bahut yaad karte hai tumhe!

Shreya - Mai bhi aap sab ko bahut yaad karti hu baba! Maa kaha hai? (searching for her mom)

Ramlal - vo rasoi mai hai beta!

Shreya went to the kitchen her mother was preparing breakfast she went near her and hugged her from behind.

Shreya (happily) - Maaaa! Bahut achi khusbu aa rahi hai! Kya bana rahe ho?

Shreya's mother turned to her and touched her face with one hand "tere pasandida alooo ke parathe! Tu saal Mai sirf ek baar aati hai Shreya! aisa lagta hai jaise beti ko sasural bhej diya ho humne" (a little upset)

Shreya kissed her mother on Cheeks and hugged her "offoo! Maa aap bhi na ab aap ye emotional hona band Karo! Bahut bhukh lag rahi hai jaldi se kuch khila do"

SM - Jaa pehle jaake haath muhh dhole mai naashta lagati hu!

Shreya smiled and went towards her room.

She took a quick shower! She was infront of dressing table combining her hairs when suddenly she saw her locket which she was wearing on her neck.

She touched her locket tears formed in her eyes

*Flashback Starts*

Guddu and Pinki were seating in the temple.
Pinki was very upset when Guddu told her that he is going out with his father for one week.

Pinki (upset) - Guddu! Tum pure ek hafte ke liye jaa rahe ho Mai kaise rahungi? Mai tumhare bina ek din bhi nahi reh sakti

Guddu (cupped her face) - Mai bhi kaha reh sakta hu tumhare bina Pinki? Par jaana padega Papa ko bahut jaruri kaam hai aur vo mujhe akele yaha nahi rakhenge.

Pinki (innocently) - Par pura ek hafta Mai tumhe dekhe bina kaise rahungi?

Guddu - Jab bhi meri yaad aaye apni aankhe Band karke mera naam lena! Mujhe apne saamne paaogi!
(and he kissed her forehead)

*Flashback Ends*

Shreya closed her eyes Guddu's face was flashing in front of her eyes.

She opened her eyes tears started flowing from her eyes "Tum kaha chale gaye Guddu? Hume alag hue 10saal ho gaye! Inn 10saalo Mai bahut kuch badal gaya nahi badla to mera pyaar Mai aaj bhi tumse utna hi pyaar karti hu jitna tab karti thi! Pata nahi kyu par dil Mai abhi bhi ek umeed hai ki ek din tum mujhe jarur miloge. Mai tumhe yaad bhi hu ya nahi?

Shreya! Kaha reh gai? Jaldi se aake naashta kar le "Shreya's mother's voice interuppted her thoughts"

She wiped her tears and went outside for breakfast.

In Evening -

Sachin was helping Shreya in unpacking her bag when suddenly he saw a file he opened it and was shocked to see her resignation acceptance letter.

Sachin (shocked) - Ye sab kya hai di?

Shreya saw papers in his hands.

Shreya - Mene apni post se resign kar diya Sachin!

Sachin (shocked) - Lekin kyu kiya aapne aisa di? Aapne itni badi post se resign kar diya! Aapka sapna tha na officer banna fir aapne resign kyu kiya?

Shreya (touched her locket) - Haan mera sapna tha officer banna aur uss sapne ko Mai pichle 5saal se jee bhi rahi hu lekin ab aur nahi Mai ab aur nahi karna chahti ye sab!

Sachin (curious ) - To aap kya karna chahte ho di?

Shreya - ye to Mai bhi nahi jaanti! Tum please ye sab baba aur maa ko mat batana! Unnhe Mai khud batana chahti hu.

Sachin - thik hai di! Jaisa aapko thik lage (and he left the room)

Shreya's eyes filled with tears she remembered it was Guddu's dream he wanted her to become an officer.

*Flashback Starts*

Guddu and Pinki were as usual spending some time with each other after finishing with their doubt session!

Guddu was sleeping on her laps holding her hands and she was caressing his hairs!

Guddu - Pinki tumhe pata hai mene tumhare liye ek sapna dekha hai ki tum ek bahut badi officer ban jaao!

Pinki (happily) - Acha! Agar Mai tumse bhi badi officer ban gai to tumhe jalan nahi hogi mujhse?

Guddu gets up and cupped her face "Bilkul bhi nahi! Balki mujhe bahut khusi hogi. Tum jaanti ho Pinki iss duniya Mai insaan se jyada usske ohde (position) ki izzat hoti hai! Aur Mai chahta hu ki log tumhari bahut izzat kare! jis din tum officer ban jaaogi na, dekhna tumhare baba hi nahi dusre log bhi tumhari baat maanenge tumhare baba garv se kahenege ki tum unnki beti ho.

Pinki's eyes filled with tears hearing all this she hugged Guddu.

Pinki - Guddu jab tum saath hote ho to sab kuch aasan lagne lagta hai. Tum kabhi mujhe chorr kar mat jaana

Guddu broke the hug "Guddu aur Pinki kabhi alag nahi ho sakte kyunki unnnke dil ek dusre se jude hue hai"

*Flashback Ends*

Shreya started crying "Guddu! Tumne jo sapna mere liye dekha tha vo mene pura kar diya! Pichle 5saal se tumhare uss sapne ko jee rahi thi tum saath nahi the lekin fir bhi lagta tha jaise tum mere saath ho.
Guddu aur Pinki to kabhi alag nahi ho sakte the na fir hum alag kyu ho gaye Guddu?

In Village -

Daya opened his cupboard to get his night dress there he saw a sweater which Pinki gifted him.

He picked the sweater tears formed in his eyes he hugged the sweater tightly

*Flashback Starts*

One day Pinki came to meet Guddu.

Pinki (happily) - Guddu! Mai tumhare liye kuch laayi hu.

Guddu (excited) - kya layi ho tum mere liye? Jaldi se dikhao?

Pinki - pehle tum apni aankhe Band karo!

Guddu closed his eyes Pinki removed a handmade sweater from her bag.

Pinki - ab tum apni aankhe khol sakte ho!

Guddu opened his eyes he saw a blue color sweater in her hand.

Guddu (happily took it in his hands) - ye to bahut sundar hai! Tumne banaya hai?

Pinki (happily) - tumhe pasand aaya? Maa mujhe kadai bunai sikha rahi hai to mene chupke se tumhare liye ye sweater banaya hai!

Guddu (happily) - pasand nahi bahut pasand aaya! (he tried to wear it but it was small in size so he was not able to wear it)

Pinki (upset) - ye to bahut chota hai! Pehli baar tumhare liye kuch banaya aur ussi Mai gadbad kar di! Ek kaam Karo tum mujhe ye vaapas de do Mai tumhare liye dusra sweater bunungi (forwarded her hand to take the sweater)

Guddu (hugged the sweater refused to give it back) - nahi! Ye sweater pehla gift hai tumhari taraf se isse mai humesha apne paas rakhunga!

Pinki - lekin Guddu ye bahut chota hai!

Guddu - to kya hua? Tumne itne pyaar se mere liye banaya hai ye to humesha mere saath rahega.

Though that sweater never fits him but still he kept it because it was made by Pinki with her own hands so it was very precious for him.

*Flashback Ends*

Daya (crying hugging the sweater) - Tum kaha chali gai Pinki? Please vaapas aa jaao Guddu tumhare bina bahut akela hai.
