A/N: Heya Guys ! Sorry for the late update. Actually was busy with internals and a job. But here's the next chapter. Hope you guys will like it.

Next Morning….

Daya drops Shreya to her home. There also everyone was giving the same hope….

"Bahut jald ye khushi dobara mil sakti hai."

Daya returned back home and moved to his room. All day long, he was in his room and the the lines were buzzing in his ears…..

"Daya….ek aurat maa banker hi sampurn hoti hai….aapne mujhe pura kiya. Thank you Daya. "

"Hum aise himmat nahi haar sakte Daya…..hum dobara bhi toh parents ….."

He remembered what Shreya's mom said….

"Himmat mat haaro beta…..bahut jald ye khushi hume dobara mil sakti hai"

In the evening…

He heard crying voice and came out and found the baby crying in her cradle. He looked for tarika but she was in washroom. He picked up the little doll from her cradle and was staring at her face...

Daya's POV: Jab ek aurat maa nahi ban paati to use baanjh kaha jata hai...Fir main...mujhe shreya ki zindagi se chale jana...haan….chale jaana chahiye.."

Meanwhile Tarika came out….

Tarika- Arey daya tum.?

Daya(looked at her)- Haan….ye ro rahi thi.

He handed over the doll to Tarika and moved to his room.

Daya's POV- Kya karu main…Wo hurt hogi par fir kya...(he was pacing up and down)

Suddenly his eyes caught the glance of a knife kept on the side table..

Haan agar duniya se hi…...haan uske maa baap use nayi zindagi ki ore badhayenge…..ha yahi theek rahega.

AbhiRika Room

Abhijeet came and found tarika bit tensed

Abhijeet- "kya hua tarika?"

Tarika- Abhijeet pata nahi….Daya ko dekho na...(she looked tensed)

Abhijeet- Haan tarika aisa lag raha hey uske andar kuch toofan sa hai...kuch chupa raha hai wo...ek bar baat krne ki soch raha tha...per kaise..mtlb..usne aise kho diya apne .."

Tarika- Abhijeet par abhi to usey zarurat hogi na tumhari….shreya ko usne mayeke bhej diya taki uska dil lag jaye...aur khud….usne khud ko kamre mein band kar liya hai.

Abhijeet- Thik keh rahi ho…..Main aata hu use baat karke….shayad kuch bata de.

Daya's Room

He entered inside and was shocked. Some red fluid coming from the cut on the wrist...its too near the main vein .the knife is placed there again...daya closed his eyes

"Dayaaaa !"

He rushed to Daya who was looking blankly at him. Abhijeet snatched the knife and threw it away

Abhijeet(strictly)-Pagal ho gaye ho? Haan?

Daya- Abhijeet…main….(he paused)

abhijeet looks at the cut..its bleeding profusly. Daya tried to stand but trembled. Abhijeet hold him and made him sit..

Abhijeet- Baitho yahan par….main aata hu.

He came back with the first aid box and found him sobbing. Abhijeet sat beside him and called softly…

Abhijeet- Kya hua daya? Ye kya karne ja rahe the tum..?Dekho jo bhi hua bhul jao...bahut jald firse. (He said while applying the anteseptic and cotton to the place)

Daya immediately hugged him tightly

Daya- Ab aur kabhie nahi….Abhijeet…...ab sab khatam…..boss…ab koi mujhe papa nahi kahega.

Abhijeet(confusingly)-Daya kya bol raha hai ye? Dekh aise mat kar.

He frcefully seperated him andpressed the cotton and did the dressing. He kept his hand on his face..

Abhijeet- Kya hua Daya….aise kyun bol rahe ho ?

Daya(while sobbing)- Abhi….Main ab….Main ab fir kabhi .baap nahi ban paunga….kabhi papa nahi ban sakta….(he cried)

Abhijeet was stunned and was looking at him….

Daya - Main sach mein badnasib hu hey na….to apne badnasabi ki saath shreya ko kiu uljhau?bolo na...(he hold Abhijeet's hand) toh mere liye yeahi sahi hai na ….

Abhijeet(slapped him )-. Chup bilkul...chup. ! marne chala hai…! Har problem ka solution bhaagna nahi hota…..Bas khud ke bare mein soch raha hai…..Shreya ka kya haan? Shreya khush ho jayegi kya….ki bacha hi nahi pati ko bhi kho diya…

Abhijeet calmed himself…

Abhijeet- Yaar aise pagalpan kyu krta hai…isse sabko taqleef hoti hey na?

Daya- Fir main kya karu….kaise bataun usey ki maine hi uski saari khushiyan cheen li hai.

Abhijeet(squeezed his shoulder)-Nahi Daya…aisa kuch nahi hoga….Acha…agar yahi shreya ki saath hota tu use chor deta?

Daya- Nahi…par shreya ko kaise …

Abhijeet- Filhal tu aaram kar…baad mein sochenge ki kya karna hai…Aur haan koi ulti seedhi harkat mat karna….tujhe Shreya ki kasam !

He made him lie on the bed and gave him a tablet and ruffled his hair. When he was sure that Daya was asleep , he went out to his room.

AbhiRika Room…

Abhijeet entered the room and found Tarika playing with the little baby girl. Tarika looked at him and said….

Tarika- Abhi….tum wahan kyun khade ho? Dekho na tumhari beti kaise has rahi hai….bilkul tumhari tarah. (and she smiled)

Abhijeet just smiled and sat on the corner of the bed. Tarika felt that something was wrong with her hubby. She put the baby back into the cradle and went towards him and moved her hands in his hair.

Tarika- Kya hua Abhi ? Sab thik hai na ?

Hearing her, he tightly hugged her with his face burying into her stomach. She ruffled his hair again….

Tarika- Kya hua Abhi….bolo na? Daya ne kuch kaha ?

Abhijeet(sighed)- Daya….! Tarika….Daya apnne andar ek bohot bada toofan chupa ke baitha tha…..usne toh mujhe bhi hila diya.

Tarika(cupped his face)- Saaf saaf bolo abhijeet …kya baat hai ?

Abhijeet- Tarika….usne shreya ko aise hi maayke nahi bheja …..wo shreya ka saamna nhi kar pa raha. (he turned to Tarika) Tarika….Daya- Shreya ko kabhi maa-papa banne ki khushi nahi mil sakti.

Tarika(shocked)- Ye tum kya keh rahe ho Abhijeet…..nahi….aisa nahi ho sakta.

Abhijeet- Aisa hi hai Tarika…Daya ab kabhi baap nahi ban sakta. Shreya ko maa banne ki khushi nahi de sakta…..isliye wo dukhi hai. Marne chala tha wo…..badi mushkil se sula kar aaya hu .

Tarika was shocked and sat on the bed. She went silent for some seconds.

Abhijeet- mujhe samajh nahi aa raha …..main kya karu ? Kaise Daya ko samjhaun ki usey jeena hoga…Shreya ke liye hi sahi. Aur bachchon ka kya…..bachche adopt bhi kiye ja sakte hain.

Tarika(broke her silence)- Abhijeet….Maa na banne ka dukh kya hota hai main jaanti hu. Shreya kin haalat se guzar rahi hai…main samajh sakti hu. Aur ab un dono ke liye hume hi kuch karna hoga.

Abhijeet(looked at her)- Par hum kya karenge Tarika?

Tarika(looked at the baby girl who was sleeping)- Abhijeet….mujhmein ya tum mein toh koi kami nahi hai na ? Hum toh dobara maa—baap ban sakte hai na?

Abhijeet was shocked listening to her.

Abhijeet- Ye tum kya keh rahi ho tarika?

Tarika- Wahi jo hume karna chahiye abhijeet. Is waqt ye bachchi hi un dono ki zindagi mein bahaar la sakti hai. Maine dekha tha daya ko….ek kami sit hi uski aankhon mein…hume usko pura karna hoga.

Abhijeet- Tarika…tum hosh mein toh ho? Tum aise kaise kar sakti ho?

Tarika(smiled)- Abhi…tum daya ke liye kuch bhi kar sakte ho na ?

Abhijeet- Haan….wo mere liye dost se badhkar hai….mera bhai hai. Uski khushi ke liye kuch bhi kar sakta hu.

Tarika(smiled)- Toh phir ab mera waqt hai ek dost ki madad karne ka. Kuch saal pehle usne apni jaan par khel kar tumhe sahi salamat wapas laaya tha wo…ab uske chehre pe hasi lane ki baari meri hai.

Abhijeet- Par tarika…kya tum apni beti ko kisi aur ko maa kehte hue dekh paogi?

Tarika- Abhi…wo mujhe maa nahi …badi maa kahegi. Aur phir shreya toh meri behen hai….maa kahe ya badi maa …baat toh ek hi hai na.

Abhijeet looked at tarika and found a confidence in her eyes. She moved closer to him and hold his hands…

Tarika- Abhi….tum vishwas rakho….is wajah se hum logon ke rishte mein koi daraar nahi aayegi. Aur wo Daya-Shreya ki beti bankar bhi hume Badimaa aur badepapa hi toh kahegi…rishta toh nahi badlega na..

Abhijeet smiled and hugged her tightly. She hugged him back. They parted after a while…..

Tarika- Ab chalo ek smile do. Aur haan...kuch din baad jab shreya aayegi tab hum un dono se baat karenge.

Abhijeet- Thank you Tarika !

Tarika(smiled)- Arey bhai….ab ye meri family hai aur Daya mera dost hai. So….ye sab karna mera farz hai….isliye No thank you…samjhe?

Abhijeet(Smiled)- Jee patni ji…samajh gaya.

Tarika giggled and he went to change while Tarika glanced into Daya's Room and found him sleeping. She closed her eyes and then moved to her room. Abhijeet came out after a while and they lied on bed thinking of how they'll convince Shreya and Daya for what they had thought.
