A/N: Thank you all guys for your love and support as always. There are many requests for those sweet flashback moments. I can easily understand that. But in the current story-track it's a bit hard to incorporate those parts. So guys, please give me a li'l more time, like one or two more episodes, I promise you, there will be loads of fun stuff with the children again. Just wait a little bit. As all of you already knew that I cannot end a story with so-called "sad ending", definitely in my story, everything will be fine, rather everything 'must' be fine! Because you know what, life is not that bad, there are so many things to be happy for, isn't it? I like to celebrate life! Yah, everything will be fine again. My story is only about the journey together. When your family is with you, its always good! So enjoy the journey with THIS FAMILY, and love and value your family too :D Be Happy :)


Every one was shocked, broken. They did not know how to react, what to say. They were waiting for Adi to come to his senses. Daya was sitting beside Abhijeet. They both were silent.

Scene starts...

It was 2:30 pm. Little Adi (only one and half year old) was screaming badly. Tarika was trying her best to console him but all in vain! The little baby was extremely sad, irritated and in a really really bitter mood! Tarika was holding him in her one hand and trying to call her dearest hubby with the free hand.

Tarika: Hello - hello -

Adi: (trying to snatch the phone from her hand) P-A-A-P-P-P-A-A-A ! C-H-A-A-A-A-A-A-A-C-H-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O ke p-a-a-s (sobbing)

Tarika: Abhi, tum sun rahe ho na! Main pagal ho rahi hun! Daya kaha hai? woh kuch der ke liye aa sakte hai? Please Abhi Please...

Abhijeet: Main dekhta hun. Waise Adi ka bukhar kam hua?

Tarika: Kam to tab hoga na, jab main usse medicine de saku, yeh to bas subah se sirf roye jaa raha hai

Abhijeet: Galathi mera hi hai. Daya aaj ana hi chahta tha, maine hi usse aane ko kaha! ab lagta hai woh rehta to acha hota

Tarika: sach me...

After sometimes Daya entered the house. He could hear Adi's voice even from outside the house. He entered hurriedly. He took the baby immediately in his arms. Tarika was really in bad condition! She just sighed and handed him Adi.

Tarika: Sambhalo apne beta ko! Kitna bigadke rakha hai tumne isse, dekho subah se maine isse ek bhi medicine nahi de saki. Bukhar bhi kam nahi ho raha hai

Daya: (Hugging the baby tightly and adorably to him) Ale - aley aley - mera Adi beta ro kyu raha hai? kuch nahi hua hai - mera beta ab bilkul thik ho jayega! ab main aa gaya hu na, aab koi dard nahi... (to Tarika) Bhabi, aap medicines lao

Adi: (complaining) (pointing towards his forehead) chachu, yaha dald ho laha hai - (sob) muje dald ho laha hai, chachu thik kal do (sob)

Daya: (already gave him medicines) (teary) kuch nahi hoga mera beta ko - I promise, koi dard nahi hoga - tumhara chachu ke rehte tumhe koi bhi takleef nahi hoga - (kissed him)

Scene fades...

A tear rolled down Daya's cheek. Abhijeet pressed his hand tightly on Daya's hand. Daya looked at him. His helpless eyes conveyed the pain inside his heart.

Daya: (low tone) Nahi kar paya pura- maine apna wada pura nahi kar paya Abhi- usse dard hua, takleef hua aur main kuch nahi kar paya -

He hugged Abhijeet and shed tear. Abhijeet also could not control his tear. There are so many pictures that were coming into her mind one after another.

Scene Starts...

Abhijeet had just returned from his long undercover mission. He had an injury on his right shoulder. He was on his bed. Adi (8 yrs old) came and sat beside Abhijeet. Abhijeet looked at him and smiled sweetly. Adi returned the sweet smile with a sweeter one! He then came closer to his father. His gaze moved towards Abhijeet's wound and pain reflected on his eyes.

Adi: Papa -

Abhijeet: haan beta, bol

Adi: (touched him with trembling hand) aap pe unn logo ne goli chalaya?

Abhijeet nodded as yes.

Abhijeet: (casually) tu bilkul fikar ma kar. Choti si chot hai! bas do din me thik ho jayega.

Adi: Bahut dard huya hoga na papa? (teary) main jab CID officer ban jaunga na, dekhna, koi bhi bachega nahi! Mere papa pe goli chalata hai!

Abhijeet: (teasingly) acha! mera beta to baht bahadur ho gaya!

Adi: HMPH! main chachu ke tarah bahadur hun! Main kabhi kisi se nahi darta! Dekhna Papa, main kisi bhi halat me kabhi bhi darunga nahi, I promise...

Scene fades...

The words of Adi echoed in Abhijeet's ear. He was absolutely right. He was not afraid. Not at all afraid till end. He faced it bravely, he fought bravely. Abhijeet removed his tear. He should be proud! Yes! He is the father of the Brave person fighting for his life inside. Right at that moment the nurse came, and informed everyone that Adi got his senses. They could meet him. Tarika instantly walked towards the door. but she stopped before entering. Abhijeet noticed and went beside her.

Abhijeet: Kya hua Tarika? miloge nahi apne Adi se?

Tarika: usse nahi dekh paungi main aisi halat me Abhi -

Abhijeet: (put his hand on her shoulder) woh thik ho jayega Tarika, hum sab hai na uske saath! ab hume uske paas rehna chahiye, chalo, andar chalo.

All were there, but all of them were afraid to face their kid! How could they! They were brave enough to fight with the dangerous criminals, but it took more courage to see your loving child fighting with fate! But the first one to enter the cabin was already opened the door and entered inside. She ran towards him and stood beside him with teary eyes

Adi: ro rahi hai tu? Chiiii! Darpok hi reh gaya tu!

Diya: Mujhe darpok mat bolo, ok? (trying to remove her tear) Bhaiya - aap - aap kaise ho?

Adi smiled sweetly. His face was still bearing all the signs of the horrible beating he had received from that Raghu. His face was patched with purple and red colors here and there. The bruises on his face made it look even more painful! but the smile on his face seemed like a ruthless sarcasm of nature! All were already inside the cabin. Adi was looking at their curious faces.

Adi: main thik hu, bas aap sab aise mat dekhiye mujhe! Choti maa, aap ka face to mera face se bhi zyada red ho gaya! or swollen bhi! itna kyu ro rahi hai?

Shreya tried to smile but her effort ended to something else. She broke down and started crying aloud.

Abhijeet: Shreya, aise rote nahi - dekho, Adi strong hai na?

Adi: Papa, mujhe ghar jana hai, jald hi... Please aap doctor saab se baat kijiye na

They went silent and looking to each other's face. They had to tell him now about his legs. Adi sensed the tension.

Adi: Mujhe pata hai

All were shocked!

Daya: kya? Kya pata hai tujhe?

Adi: (smiling) jo baat aap log mujhe kehne se darr rahe hai! par main thik ho jaunga. mujhe CID join jo karna hai, aur wo to main aise wheel chair me baith ke nahi kar sakta na! Bas aap log mujhe ghar le kar chaliye - main jald hi thik ho jaunga, dekhna -

They were literally stunned, hearing these words from him! how could he be so calm! Is he a normal human being? How could he get so much of strength? But Adi's confidence gave them the courage to face the challange again.

Daya: main abhi jake doctor se baat karta hun, hum tujhe jald se jald ghar le jayenge.
