Author's note:

I cannot thank all of you individually this time as I'm going out of station and just before that want to update…this is not at all a romantic chapter, its bit dragging, mainly on duo and tari-shreya family based…if u all don't like it I will correct myself in next chap…please bear with me

Story:

Abhijeet went back to his home…he entered; found Daya sitting on sofa watching TV….he asked "kya boss mil aye apne hone wali sasuma se?"

"Hmm!" and Abhijeet tried to go in his room but Daya continued without looking at him "waise baat pakki kerke aye ho?"

"Hummm"

"kya hmm hmm…shopping kab kerne jayenge,date to agle hafte hi hey"

"hmm"

Now Daya turned towards Abhijeet found him standing at the door of his room totally absent minded, he was looking as if he was very sick from a long time…Daya scowled, got up and went near him placed a hand over his shoulder with "Abhi? Tarika se koi masla hua?"

Abhijeet looked at him with strange expression which Daya cannot read but before he can further react his phone rang he looked at the caller id it is from Tarika he looked up at Abhijeet ten received the call "ha Tarika bolo"

"Daya Abhijeet gher pahuch gaya?mein call ker rahi hu utha hi nahi raha hey"

"ha pahuch to gaya per kuch strange behave ker raha hey,baat kya hey?"

"Shreya aur mein thori der mein tumhare gher arehey hey aake batate hey"

"per Shreya matlab Abhijeet to tumhare gher gaya tha"

"aake batati hu"

Daya can hear some sobbing voice in background but before he can ask anything Tarika cut the call. Daya confusingly looked at his phone then at Abhijeet who was staring at the floor Daya asked "tumhara phone kaha hey?" in a strict loud tone..

"woe hi kahi…nahi wo gari mein vul aya" and Abhijeet entered his room and sat down on bed…Daya's mind suddenly clicked something he called up some one "hello auntie ji,mein Daya bol raha hu…wo Abhi aur Tarika ka phone nahi lag raha hey ek important urgent lead dena hey use jara phone dengi?"

"per wo dono to Shreya ki gher gaya hey, wo Sachin uski gher tumog ki rishte ki baat kerne gaya tha to kuch baat ho gayi to Shreya ne Tarika ko bula liya..aur wo dono chal diye"

"ok thank you auntieji..mein dekhta hu" and he cut the call. He sighed and went inside Abhijeet's room sat beside him "boss ager tumhari beti hoti to tum bhi eahi cahte na ki ek ache gher ka larka ek khandani larka uska haath thame?wo log bhi eahi cahte hey to tum itni pareshan kiu"

But he stopped as Abhijeet turned towards him with "ho sakta hey mein eahi kerta per kisiko hurt nahi kerta kisike pehchan pey shaq nahi kerta"

"matlab?"

But the doorbell interrupted them both came to hall ad Daya opened the door and immediately Shreya hugged him tightly crying with "aap mujhe eaha se dur le jaiye pleas" Daya confusingly stroked Shreya's head and questioningly gazed at Tarika whose eyes are also teary…Daya took Shreya inside made her sat Tarika and Abhijeet also sat down on sofa..Daya lovingly asked "Shreya baat kya hey?"

"Daya mujhe aap le chaliye kahi bhi mein aap ki siwa kisi aur ki nahi ho sati" and she started sobbing badly…Daya hugged her and asked "Abhi, Tarika tum dono kuch bataoge"

Tarika took a deep breath and told all what they heard and added "Shreya ki papa ne uski shadi kahi aur karwane ka baat kiya Sachin ne ander jake protest kiya to unhone Sachin ko bhi bahut kuch sunaya….wo log iss rishte se khush to dur sahemat bhi nahi hey Shreya ki haalat bahut kharab ho rahi thi to meini auntie se kaha ki mein ise apni gher le jati hu aur eaha le ayi…Sachin aur kajal wohi pey hey"

Daya was stunned he understood why Abhijeet was behaving like this…he looked at Abhi, who was still in down head, Tarika hide her face in her palms Shreya looked up at Daya and called "Daya aap mummy papa ki baton ki saza mujhe to nahi denge na…mein aapki siwa kisi ki nahi hosakti mein" and she broke in crying….Daya cupped her face "Shreya aise rote nahi please dekho hum milke mana lenge uncle auntie ko, time lagega per ker lenge please roo mat"

Abhijeet looked up. First time he felt his fear was nonsence,his Daya is much more strong…Tarika also came and sat beside Shreya "Shreya chalo aab Daya hey na tumhare saath chalo aab aansu pochlo"

Shreya wiped the tears but again fresh tears formed in her eyes…Daya strongly told "Shreya tum mere ho mere hi rahoge…yeah dar nikal do apne dil se…"

Shreya looked up and a faint smile came to her lips….Abhijeet said "mein kuch order ker deta hu sab milke dinner karte hey fir tum dono apne gher jaogi"

"nahi sir mein woha nahi jaungi"

"acha acha tum Tarika kiu gher reh lena ok"

Shreya agreed. Dinner came they completed with little chitchat. Then both went to Tarika's home taking Abhijeet's car giving back his cell…Abhijeet went in washroom to freshen up…after some time he came out…he searched for a file remembered it was kept in Daya's room. He went towards Daya's room but he stopped outside hearing a loud voice as "kiu kiu hota hey mere saath aisa?jab bhi kuch thik hone ko ho to aise" and the voice broke down..Abhijeet bite his lips and entered….fond Daya sitting beside bed on floor, burying his face in the bed. Abhijeet sat beside him and Daya sensing his arrival immediately hugged him with "boss aj ager mere bhi ma baap hote to yeah sab nahi sunna parta na mujhe,wo log kiu chale gaye boss? Abhi tum they to kabhie khud ko anath nahi laga per koi nahi samajhta sab kahete hy tm sage bhai nahi ho…boss mujhe wo log paap.."

Abhijeet separated him with a jerk & kept a palm over his mouth "nahi kabhie yeah baat sochna bhi mat… tera kaam tera pehchan hey…aur abhie to Shreya ki samne strong ban raha tha aab kya ho gaya"

Daya nodded as no..and again hugged him…hide his face in his brother's chest…Abhijeet ruffled his hair with "mera bhai kamjoor nah hey na?"

Daya nodded as no still hiding his face..

"to wo strong hey na?"

"hmm"

"Shreya ko bhi to samvalna hey na tujhe, uski to gherwale bhi use nahi samajh rahe hey..to tujhe uska sath dena hey na?"

"hmm"

"to aise rote rote karega yeah sab?"

Daya looked up and nodded no and wiped away his tears. Abhijeet smiled and said "kal ACP sir iss bareme puchenge,woha strong rahna,thik?"

"ha thik"

"chal aab soja"

"sula do" said Daya in a kiddish voice...

Here in Tarika's house

Shreya after freshening up sat blankly on bed, Tarika came and sat beside "Shreya aab to Daya ne bhi kahe diya to aab to yakin karlo"

"Tarika Daya ko agar mummy papa man na le kabhie to wo fir bhi mujhe apnayenge na?"

"Shreya tum yeah sab kiu soch ti ho?"

"nahi Tarika mein sab ko chor sakti hu per Daya…"

And she cried…Tarika patted her head with "sab thik ho jayega Shreya thora waqt to do"

"per"

"koi per war nahi chalo so jao,leto sabash"

And made her sleep

After Shreya slept Tarika went to verandah her thought ran as "pata nahi Daya ki qismat mein hamesha itni archane kiu?mein ar Abhijeet to aur bhi 5 saal intejar ker lenge per kya Shreya ki mummy papa itni waqt denge ise?"

Tarika's mummy came behind her and kept a hand over her shoulder "Shreya so gayi?"

"ha ma"

"kya soch rahi wo?"

"ma kya wo log manenge?"

"pata nahi beta…samaaj ki yeah soch badalna itni asaan nahi per likhker chand chu rahe hey per unki soch agey nahi barte…akhir hum khandan dekhte kiu hey?kahi DNA aur genes ki chalte koi galat aadat galat swabhab na insaan mein jab larka khud itna acha hey fir kiu? Uski kaam se wo kisika bhi sar ucha ker sakta hey,fir kiu? Jo apne muh bole bhai ke liye jaan dao pey laga sakta hey to wo to kisi bhi larki ko palko pey rahega…per yeah sab ki samajh mein nahi ata"

"per ma fir to iss sab mein kafi waqt.."

"kya tumhe Abhijeet pey biswash nahi hey?"

"ma mein apni baat nahi ker rahi hu…actually Shreya ki mummy papa ne kahi aur uski rishte ki baat chalaye hey"

"kya? Acha mein Sarala ji (Shreya's mom )se baat kerne ki koshish karke dekhti hu"

"ma pleas koshish kerna,Shreya ki haal thik nah hey…aur Daya aj bahut strong dikharaha tha per mein jitna use janti hu Abhijeet ki samne wo bhi tut gaya hoga…ma jin baatoon ka koi matlab nahi uske liye do jindegi kaise.."

"beta tumhe aur Abhijeet ko inndono ke liyre strong rahena hey na…chalo ja ke so jao kal bureau bhi to jana hey"

"ji ma gdnt"

And she went to her room
