CHAPTER 26

After sometimes daya was discharged from OT and was shifted in general ward, as soon doctor informed that daya has return in consciousness..and now they can meet him..everybody rushed to see him...everyone entered his ward..

Dadi maa: daya..mera bachha..mere jigar ka tukda..kaisa hai tu ab?

Daya was conscious but due to excessive blood loss , he was feeling weakness..he looked at all of them and managed to gave a weak smile..he looked at dadi maa..but before he could say anything, dadi maa started crying and hugged him..

Daya: (in a very weak voice) dadi maa...kuch nahi hua hai mujhe..

Dadi maa: han tujhe kaha kuch hua hai..hum sab ki jaan nikal di, aur keh raha hai ki mujhe kya hua hai...dekh apni maa ko ..ro ro ke pagal huye ja rahi hai..

Daya looked at pratima and seeing her he could not stop his tears..

Daya: maa..

Pratima: mujhe nahi karni tujhse koi baat...aise karta hai kya koi..hum waha teri raah dekh rahe hain, aur tu yaha hospital me aake leta hai..

Daya: maa..sorry...

Pradyuman: daya tune to dara hi diya tha hum sabko...humne to socha ki..he could not finish his sentence..and rubbed his tears..daya lightly pressed his palm..

Daya: dad..aap bhi na..apne chote sipahi par bharosa nahi hai..chota sa accident hi to tha...kuch nahi hua hai mujhe..

Abhijeet: bas bas ab rehne de..sabit ho gaya hai ki tu bahut bada tees maar khan hai...janab stunts dikhate rehte hain, aur jaan humari nikalti hai..

Daya smiled at his big bro's comment..

Daya: bhai..kya aap bhi, in sab ki tarah aansu baha rahe hain, aapka ye bhai itna kamjor lagta hai kya aapko?

Abhijeet: ab chup kar, tu yaha se bahar nikal phir batata hu main tujhe..

Daya smiled , he heard someone sobbing , he moved his gaze , and found purvi crying silently...

Daya: prviii..ab tujhe kya ho gaya..

Purvi: bhaiya..she came and hugged his chest..

Purvi: ye kya hai , main waha aapki raah dekh rahi hu ki bhaiya mujhe lene aa rahe hain ..kya pata tha ki ulta mujhe hi aapse milne aana padega, wo bhi yaha, ..aapko pata hai na..mujhe hospitals bilkul pasand nahi..she said and started crying..

Daya: sorry..sorry..ab tu rona band kar..rajat sambalo ise..

Rajat smiled and wiped off his tears..

Rajat: sach me sir, aapne to hum sab ki jaan hi nikal di thi...jaldi se achhe ho jaiye..hum sab aapko aise nahi dekh sakte..

Daya: pehli baat to mujhe sir mat bulao...bhaiya bulao..

Rajat: sorry sir, I mean bhaiya,..

Daya: main to tumhe is pagli ko sambhalne ko keh raha hu, aur tum khud aansu baha rahe ho yaar..ye kya baat hui bhala..

Abhijeet: achha wo sab chodo daya, ye batao ki hua kya tha, jo truck diver tumhe hospital lekar aaya, uska kehna hai ki, tum nashe me lag rahe the..

Pradyuman: ha daya. Aakhir kya hua tha, jo tum gadi ko contol nahi kar paye ..

Everbody looked at daya, they all were eager to know what had happened with him before the accident..

Daya: dad, bhai...pata nahi kya ho gaya tha mujhe, main drive kar raha tha..achanak se laga ki aankho ke samne sab kuch dhundhla sa hota ja raha hai..main kuch dekh nahi pa raha tha..aisa laga jaise aankho ke samne andhera sa chha gaya ho..aisa laga mere hath pair kaam hi na kar rahe ho, mera dam ghutne laga..aur isse pehle ki main kuch samajh pata..khud ko sambhal pata..gadi disbalance ho gayi..aur accident ho gaya..

Dadi maa: ye sab to hona hi tha..wahi hadsa jo bachpan me tere sath hota rehta tha..aaj phir se wahi hua hai tere sath..

Everyone looked at dadi maa with confused expressions..

Tarika: ..dadi maa..ab chodiye bhi wo sab, jo ho gaya use kaun badal sakta hai..humare liye to yahi sabse badi baat hai ki ab daya khatre se bahar hai..

Daya smiled at her..

Taniya: han beta, tumhe sahi salamat dekhkar ab humari jaan me jaan aayi hai..

Jayant: tumhe nahi pata ki, hum kitna dar gaye the, beta..

Daya nodded his head in no..

Daya: aap log kyun itne pareshan hain, hua hi kya tha mujhe, chota sa accident hi to the, 2-4 mamuli chote aayi hain aur kya..aur sab ke sab apna kaam chodkar mere liye yaha aansu baha rahe hain..

As he said "sab ke sab" he moved his eyes all around but could not see shreya..he became sad..he was desperately wanted to see her face just once..but she was not there, everybody was there except her..why? why she is not there? Daya was angry on her..does not she know that, he is in hospital...he is on deathbed..he needs her in this moment..

Daya: (pov) sab yaha mere paas hain, sirf shreya ko chodke, hai kaha wo, kya use nahi pata ki is waqt mera dil kitna bechain hai..sirf usko dekhne ke liye..kya use kisi ne bataya nahi is bare me..kyun nahi hai wo yaha..

He turned to dadi maa to ask about shreya..but just then he was stopped by the doctor...

Doctor: dekhiye ab aap log, inhe rest karne deejiye..abhi inka jyada bolna theek nahi hai..aap log please jaiye..

Pradyuman: yes doctor...he came and caressed daya's forehead..hum sab bahar ja rahe hain..tum aram karo han!

Everybody moved out..

Abhijeet: maa..ab to rona band karo, doctor ne bola hai ki bahut jald daya ko discharge mil jayega..

Pradyuman: han, aur aap sab ne kuch khaya bhi nahi hai kab se, nikhil beta..jao in sab ko canteen se kuch khila do..

Tarika: canteen se kyun, dadi maa..maaji..tania auntie, uncle..aap sab ghar chaliye..kuch kha pi leejiye..

Pradyuman: han tarika beti theek keh rahi hai, jayant tum sab ghar jao..purvi tum bhi ghar jao sab ke sath..

Pratima: aap sab ghar jaiye main yahi rukti hu..

Abhijeet: maa lekin..

Pratima: maine kaha na main ghar nahi jaungi..

Pradyuman: theek hai pratima tum yahi ruko, jayant tum baki logo ko lekar ghar jao..

Nikhil: main canteen se juice aur sandwich lekar aata hu..

As nikhil left from there he met shreya and divya at reception..they both rushed to him..

Nikhil: are aa gaye tum dono..

Divya: nikhil..jeeju kaha hain..

Nikhil: jeeju theek hain..doctor ne unhe rest karne ko bola hai..main canteen se juice lene ja raha tha..kisi ne kuch khaya piya nahi hai kafi der se..tum log chalo main aata hu..

He instructed them the direction..and moved to canteen..

Both shreya and divya immediately made their way towards daya's ward...as they reached there they found everybody present outside the ward..they approached their family members..

Shreya: maa..tarika bhabhi...daya..daya kaise hain ab...

Tarika: shreya, relax..daya ab bilkul theek hai..

Shreya: main..main mil sakti hu unse..shreya asked desperately

Pradyuman: han beta bilkul..jao mil lo usse..

Shreya: ji...she rubbed her tears and moved forward to meet daya but stopped hearing pratima's voice..

Pratima: ek minute shreya...ruk jao..

Shreya: ji maa..

Pratima: kaha ja rahi ho tum..

Shreya looked at her in confusion..

Shreya: maa..daya se milne ..

Pratima: daya se milne? Kyun? Kya karogi usse milkar?

Everyone including shreya were confused with her words..

Shreya: maa..main kuch samjhi nahi..

Pratima: waah..shreya..waah..main janti hu ki tum bahut massom aur bholi ho, lekin itni anjaan banne ki koshish mat karo.., tum achhi tarah se janti ho ki daya ki is halat ki jimmedar sirf aur sirf tum ho..

Pradyuman: pratima ye kya bol rahi ho tum?

Shreya has no words, teras were continuously flowing from her eyes..

Pratima: sahi keh rahi hu main, daya ki halat ki jimmedar shreya khud hai..humne ise us dhage ke bare me sab kuch bata diya tha..lekin ye thehri padhi likhi modern khayalato wali ..london me rehne wali ladki..ise yakeen hi nahi hua humari baato pe...

Shreya: maa..aap mujhe galat samajh rahi hain..

Pratima: main sahi samajh rahi hu tumhe shreya, humari bato me kitni sachhai hai yahi janana chahti thi na tum, tum dekhna chahti thi ki us dhage ka daya ki zindagi se kya lena dena hai..tum dekhna chahti thi kya sach me us dhage ko apne hath se nikal dene se, daya ke sath kuch galat hota hai ya nahi..hai na..

Shreya burst out in teras hearing those words from that woman who loved her even more than her own mother..

Shreya: maa..please aisa mat boliye..main..but pratima cut her..

Pratima: to dekh liya shreya, ho gayi tasalli..bolo..khush ho na ab tum? Daya ko maut ke muh me pahuncha kar khush ho na tum?

Dadi maa: bahu ye kaisi baate kar rahi ho tum..

Pratima: maaji aap bhi janti hain main kya keh rahi hu..ye dekhiye, ye dhaga wapas shreya ke hath me..aur yahi wajeh hai jo daya ko hosh aa gaya...dekh li shreya tumne is dhage ki takat ya ab bhi kuch shak hai bolo? Aur agar ab bhi tumhe is dhage ki shakti par sandeh hai na to..phir se utar kar phenk do ise apne hath se aur cheen lo daya ki bachi hui saanse humesha ke liye...

Shreya started crying..while divya was silent, she wanted to speak loudly that there is no fault of shreya..this mistake is done by her..but she could not utter a word..just put her hand on shreya's shoulder..

Pradyuman: pratima bas karo...tum over react kar rahi ho..shreya se galti ho gayi..maaf kar do use..(to shreya) shreya beta jao tum daya se mil lo..

Pratima: koi jarurat nahi hai daya se milne ki..doctor ne use aram karne ke liye kaha hai..divya, shreya ko leke ghar jao..daya ke liye yaha bahut log hain..iski yaha koi jarurat nahi..

It was enough for shreya, she came and held pratima's hands..

Shreya: maa..please. main janti hu mujhse jo galti hui hai..usko maaf karna asaan nahi hai, lekin please mujhe itni badi saza mat deejiye...mujhe daya se milne deejiye please..bas ek baar unhe dekhne deejiye..

Pratima: maine kaha na..tum daya se nahi mil sakti..divya shreya ko leke jao yaha se..

Shreya: nahi maa..please aisa mat kahiye..she came to her mother taniya..mom..aap please bolo na maa ko mujhe ek baar daya se milne de please..mujhe maaf kar de..mom bolo na please..

Taniya felt very bad seeing her daughter in teras but she preferred to kept a mum, because she considered it a matter between shreya and pratima..she thought not to interrupt between them..

Taniya: shreya..suna nahi pratima ne kya kaha..daya araam kar raha hai..tum ghar jao..

Shreya: mom...

Tarika, purvi, dadi maa..and everyone else were feeling very bad for shreya..but they were all helpless, in front of pratima...shreya has commited a mistake and pratima had full right to give her punishment..

Purvi: maa..milne do na shreya bhabhi ko ek baar bhaiya se..

Pratima: tu chup reh aur gahr ja...aur apne kaam se kaam rakh...

Divya looked at shreya, ...who was about to faint..she supported her quickly..

Divya: shreya..sambhal khud ko..chal yaha se..jeeju ko rest karne de, tu baad me mil lena unse...

Shreya: nahi..mujhe daya se milna hai ek baar unhe dekhna hai please...

Taniya: divya , le jao shreya ko yaha se..

Divya took shreya forcefully away from there, though shreya was protesting but she went away with her..

Pradyuman: patima ye tum theek nahi kar rahi ho..

He said and angrily went away from there..

Here divya took shreya outside..shreya was taking trembling steps..divya supported her..shreya rubbed her tears, and pratima's words echoed in her mind..

"sab tumhari wajah se hua hai..daya ki is halat ki jimmedar sirf tum ho..khush ho na ab daya ko is halat me dekh ke..ho gayi tasalli ya aur kuch baki hai.."

Shreya had never expected that reaction of pratima..she felt like someone has burnt her little world of haapiness..

Dilo ko bandha tha humne to rishshto ki dor se

Na jaane aayi ek aandhi jaane kis orr se..

Wo najuk dori tuti..Sari ummeedein chooti..

Pal me kya se kya ho jata hai..

Ye rishta kya kehlata hai..

They came outside...shreya stopped at reception...

Shreya: nahi divya..main yaha se nahi jaungi..jab tak maa mujhe maaf nahi kar deti, aur main daya se nahi mil leti..

Divya nodded with teary eyes ,and they both sat on the bench...shreya closed her eyes and got lost in her thoughts..

Tumhari yadon ka mela hai sang mere humsafar,

Unki yadon ko mud mud ke dekhe, khoyi si najar..

Ae kash ki ye ho pata...ye waqt wafa kar jata

Dil bebas hokar reh jata hai

Ye rishta kya kehlata hai..

here daya too was feeling restless..he was thinking only about shreya..

daya (pov): shreya. Kaha ho tum...I need you..kyun nahi ho mere sath tum..

Sunayi deti thi bin bole khamoshi ki sadaa..

Han koi raaz nahi tha ek duje se judaa..

Humsafar ka hath jo choota..

Dil pehli baar yun toota..

Toota dil pal pal ghabrata hai.

Ye rishta kya kehlata hai...

Tarika came to reception, she saw shreya and divya sitting there..shreya was leaning her back on the bench..closing her eyes..she did not see tarika, but divya saw her..divya stood up and went near tarika..

Tarika: divya..shreya theek to hai na..tum dono ghar nahi gaye?

Divya: bhabhi..shreya ne ghar jane se mana kar diya hai...usne kuch khane pine se bhi mana kar diya hai..samajh me nahi aa raha kya karu..use chakkar aa rahe hain, chal bhi nahi pa rahi hai.. bhabhi, please..shreya ko ek baar jeeju se milwa deejiye kuch bhi karke..

Tarika: ruko main maaji se baat karti hu..

tarika said pressing her shoulders in assurance.. she moved from there and came to pratima..who was arguing with abhijeet and dadi maa...

Abhijeet: maa, aap bahut thak gayi ho, aap ghar jao,.. kuch kha pi lo, hum sab hain na yaha daya ke paas..

Pratima: nahi main kahi nhai jaungi..daya ko chodkar..mujhe kisi pe bharosa nahi hai..main apne bête ko kisi ko hawale nahi chod sakti..uski maa zinda hai abhi uska khayal rakhne ke yahi rahungi..jab tak use discharge nahi mil jata..

Tarika came to her..

Tarika: maa..abhijeet theek keh rahe hain, aap ghar jaiye, main hu na yaha..

Pratima: mujhe nahi jana kahi ..

Tarika: theek hai maa..par kam se kam shreya ko ek baar daya se mil to lene deejiye..

Pratima looked at tarika ..

Pratima: kya kaha tumne, shreya ko milne du, kyun milne du...jise daya ki koi fikar hi nahi hai..kya karegi wo daya se milkar?

tarika: maa..ye kya keh rahi hain aap, ek choti si galti ho gayi usse, maaf kar deejiye use..jara dekhiye to khud ka kya haal bana rakha hai usne, na kuch kha pi rahi hai..na kuch aur soch pa rahi hai daya ke alawa..., anjaane me hui ik choti si galti ki itni badi saza mat deejiye use..

pratima: abhijeet samjhao apni biwi ko ki bado se behas nahi karte..

abhijeet first looked at pratima and then at tarika but before he could say anyrhing tarika said..

tarika: maa ji main aapse behas nahi kar rahi hu, ek request kar rahi hu, aap khud hi dekh leejiye shreya ne kya haal kar liya hai khud ka, aur kam se kam daya ke bare me to sochiye, kya is waqt wo shreya se nahi milna chahta hoga, wo dono ek dusre se door tadap rahe hain, milne deejiye unhe...please..shreya ki ek choti si galti ki itni badi saza mat deejiye use..

abhijeet: maa..tarika theek keh rahi hai, shreya ko maaf kar deejiye, is waqt uska daya ke paas hona bahut jarori hai..

traika looked at abhi, and felt good seeing him supporting her..

tarika: han maji , aapne dekha nahi..hum sab ke maujood hone ke baad bhi daya ki nigahe sirf shreya ko talash rahi thi..usne kuch kaha nahi wo alag baat hai..

pratima: kya kehta wo..ki wo shreya se milna chahta hai..kyunki use pata nahi hai ki, uski is halat ki jimmedar sirf aur sirf shreya hi hai...

tarika was annyoyed with pratima's stubbornness , she became loud..

tarika: maa, bas kariye shreya ko kosna..manti hu ki shreya ki choti si galti ki wajah se hui hai daya ki ye halat, to kya ab aap shreya ko daya se humesaha door rakhegi, kabhi nahi milne dengi un dono ko...ye jante huye bhi ki shreya hi daya ki zindagi hai..mana ki daya ki is halat ki jimmedar shreya hai, lekin aap ye kaise bhool sakti hain ki agar daya aaj humare sath hai to wo bhi sirf aur sirf shreya ki wajeh se, agar shreya daya ki zindagi me nahi hoti to daya bhi humare sath nahi hota..

as tarika said the last line, she got a tigt slap from pratima on her cheek..

pratima: bas tarika bahut ho gaya..

abhijeet felt bad for her, but he said nothing..tarika's eyes were filled with tears..she looked at pratima..with a sad smile..

tarika: maa ji, aap mujhe ek nahi dus thappad mariye, mujhe bilkul bura nahi lagega..lekin bas ek baar daya ki khatir, apne gusse ko bhoolkar sach ko samjhne ki koshish kariye, 22 saal maaji 22 saal tak wo dono ek dusre se door rahe, in 22 saalo me shreya ne kabhi wo dhaga khud se alag nahi hone diya, wo bhi tab jabki use uske peeche ki sachhai ka bhi pata nahi tha, usne kabhi sawal nahi kiya, jo bhi uske maa baap ne kaha, wahi kiya, bina unse koi sawaal jawab kiye. Jo ladki apne bado ki itni izzat karti hai aap kaise keh sakti hain ki usne jaanboojhkar aap sab ke viswash ko toda hai..maa..mujhse shreya ki halat dekhi nahi ja rahi...plese ek baar use milne deejiye daya se..please..

saying all that in one bresth, tarika left from there rubbinh her teras..while pratima was standing there like a statue, thinking what just tarika said..

here shreya and divya were still sitting on the bench..shreya opened her eyes and turned to divya..

shreya: divya, mera dil bahut bechain ho raha hai..daya ..pata nahi kaise honge wo..maaji ne mujhe milne se mana kiya hai na, lekin tu to mil sakti hai na unse, please tu ek baar dekh ke aa na wo kaise hain..

divya looked at shreya and rubbed her tears..

divya: shreya, tu chinta mat kar, tu yahi ruk main, main abhi auntie ko jake sab bata deti hu ki jo kuch bhi hua hai na sab meri wajah se hua hai, isme teri koi galti nahi hai..

shreya cut her..

shreya: divya, please, abhi in sab baato ka waqt nahi hai, kya hua kyun hua, kaise hua...mujhe sirf daya ki chinta hai, plese mere liye tu ek baar unse milkar aa na..

divya agreed

divya: theek hai..tu yahi rehna, main jeeju se milkar aati hu..

divya said and went from there, as she reached to daya's ward...luckily there was nobody, may be pratima has went to washroom..only a nurse was there..divya entered daya's ward..hearing the sound of opening of the door, daya instantly opened his eyes and looked at the entrance expecting the visitor to be shreya..but he became a little disappointed seeing divya not shreya...

daya: are divya..tum yaha..

he asked with a smile..divya smiled back at him..

divya: jeeju ..how are you feeling now..

daya: much better...

divya: thank god aap theek hain, hum sab bahut dar gaye the, agar aapko kuch ho jata to..

daya: divya, please. Phir wahi baat, main sab ko bol bol kar thak gaya hu, are kuch nahi hua hai mujhe, I am fine..stop crying..

divya wiped off her tears..they both went silent for sometime..after some seconds daya asked..

daya: divya...shreya kaha hai, wo mujhse milne nahi aayi abhi tak..

divya was waiting for him to ask about shreya...but she had not prepared any answer..so she stammered a little on his question..

divya: jeeju ..wo shreya..wo..actually..wo na mandir gayi hai, aapke liye pray karne..

daya felt something fishy by her answer..

daya: mandir gayi hai, shreya bhi na..use jake bolo ki bhagwan ko jyada pareshan na kare, main theek hu, ...bas ho sake to ek baar aakar mujhse bhi mil le..

divya nodded in yes..

divya: ok jeeju main bol dungi, ab main chalti hu, aap aram kariye..

divya went from there...she came to shreya ..

shreya: divya tu mili unse, kaise hain wo ab?

Divya: relax shreya, he is much better now..face pe thode jakham hain..sar pe aur hatho me bandages hain..

Shreya felt a pinch in her heart hearing the description of daya's condition..

Divya: shreya, he is badly missing you..unhone kaha ki kam se kam ek baar tu unse mil le..

Shreya: main kya karu divya, kya main nahi milna chahti unse..par meri tadap ko dekhne wala sunne wala koi nahi hai yaha..

Just then nikhil came there..

Nikhil: tum dono yaha kya kar rahi ho?

Divya and shreya looked at him but said nothing..

Nikhil: aur shreya, tu jeeju se kyun nahi mili abhi tak, tujhe pata bhi hai wo tujhse milne ke liye, kab se intejar kar rahe hain..baat kaya hai..

But they both were still silent, which made nikhil a little annoyed

Nikhil: tum dono kuch bologi bhi, baat kya hai, shreya tu kyun nahi mil rahi hai jeeju se..but shreya was silenty sheding tears..nikhil turned to divya..divya, at least tum to kuch bolo, kya baat hai..

Divya beame annoyed with her helplessness and nikhil's questions..

Divya: mujhe nahi pata nikhil..

Nikhil: aisa ho hi nahi sakta, shreya se judi aisi koi baat ho hi nahi sakti jo tumhe na pata ho..he went and caught her arm and made her to face him..meri tarfa dekho aur chupchap batao ki baat kya hia..divya could not resist him more..she told everything to him..

Nikhil: what, aur auntie ji ko lagta hai ki shreya ne ye sab jaanboojhkar kiya hai..wo aisa soch bhi kaise sakti hain..nikhil became very angry he turned to shreya and grabbed her hand..tu chal shreya mee sath, main dekhta hu kaise koi rokta hai tujhe jeeju se milne se..

Shreya: nahi nikhil, main bina maa ki ijajat ke nahi mil sakti daya se..

Nikhil: shreya, tujhe jeeju se milna hi hoga..tu apne dil par itna bada patthar kaise rakh sakti hai..tujhe jara sa bhi andaja hai is waqt jeeju ko teri kitni jarurat hai..main unse milne gaya tha, kitni ummide thi unki aankho mein, jab wo mujhse tere bare me puch rahe the, maine unse wada kiya hai ki main unhe tujhse jaroor milwaunga..tu chal mere sath..

Shreya: par nikhil maa..

Nikhil: tu unki chinta mat kar, unhe main sambhal lunga..tu bas chal mere sath.

Nikhil holding shreya's hand moved towards daya's ward..followed by divya..as they reached there, nikhil saw inside, pratima was there with daya..

Divya: nikhil, auntie to yahi hain, wo shreya ko nahi milne dengi jeeju se, ab kya kare? Nikhil looked here and there..he spotted a nurse there..

Nikhil: ek minute main kuch karta hu..

he went to the nurse..shreya and divya were silently watching him talking to the nurse..

Divya: ye kar kya raha hai..

Nurse: ji nahi, I am sorry..main aisa nahi kar sakti..

Nikhil: dekhiye please, pyar ka mamla hai, main apni behan ko is tarah se nahi dekh sakta, sirf aap hi humari help kar sakti hain, agar aapne kabhi kisi se pyar kiya hai to aapko uski kasam..plese mana mat kariye, aapko jitne paise chahiye main dene ke liye taiyar hu.

Nurse was convinced with his emotional dialogues..

Nurse: sir ye kya kar rahe hain aap, main ye paise nahi le sakti, lekin main aapki kuch madad kar sakti hu, mujhe khushi hogi aapki madad karke..aap bas yahi rukiye 2 minute..

Saying that the nurse enterd daya's ward..pratima was sitting there..caressing daya's forehead, who was sleeping peacefully..pratima looked at the nurse..

Nurse: umm..excuse me mam, aap please thodi der ke liye bahar jaiye, mujhe kuch normal tests karne hain, bas 2 minute ka kaam hai, jaise hi khatam hoga main aapko andar bula lungi..

Pratima narrowed her eyebrows..

Pratima: tum test karogi. Tum to nurse ho, doctors kaha hain..

Nurse: mam, dekhiye bas kuch chote mote tests hain, wo hum nurse log hi kar lete hain, doctors hi kehte hain hume karne ko..

Pratima: ha to karo na..

Nurse: mam, nahi aapko bahar jana hoga, aap patient ki maa hain na..aapke samne nahi kar sakte..

Pratima: are aisa kya karna hai, jo mere smane nahi kar sakti...aur waise bhi daya to abhi so raha hai..tum test kaise karogi?

Nurse: mam, ho jayega. Usse koi matlab nahi hai..aap plese bahar jaiye..

Pratima: theek hai..jaldi karna..

Saying this pratima moved outside..nurse took a deep breath..she came to nikhil..

Nurse: maine apna kaam kar diya hai..but main jyada der tak apki maa ko door nahi rakh sakti..aap please jaldi se unse mil leejiye, warna aap logo ke sath sath main bhi fans jaungi..

Nikhil: thank you so much..for helping us..nurse smiled at them..nikhil turned to shreya..shreya ja tu jaldi se jake jeeju se mil le, hum log yahi hain, isse pehle ki auntie wapas aaye, tu jakar jeeju se mil le..shreya smiled at him and nodded in yes..she went inside the ward..

Daya was sleeping very travelled her eyes allover his body, she shivered from inside seeing him in such condition..lot of injuries, and bandages were all over his body..

Shreya: (pov) daya aisi halat me hain, aur sab keh rahe hain ki wo theek hain..she moved nesr his bed. and touched his feet, she closed her eyes..and let her tears flow out..

Shreya (low voice): I am sorry daya, mujhe maaf kar deejiye, ye sab meri wajeh se hua hai..she left his feet..and moved near his face..she took his hand in hers and softly kissed it..then she brought his hand near her chest and started crying hugging his hand near her heart..

Shreya:I am sorry daya. Maine apna wada tod diya, humesha aapka sath nibhane ka wada kiya tha aur dekhiye aaj meri wajeh se aap is haal me hain..she opened her eyes..and ran her fingers through his hair lovingly..then she bent over him and sofltly kissed his forhead...

main janti hu ki aap bhi mujhse milne ke liye utne hi bechain hain lekin mujhe maaf kar deejiye, main majboor hu..saying this she began to move..but stopped as she felt daya holding his wrist..she turned and found daya looking at him..

Shreya: daya..

Daya (still holding her hand): ye kya shreya, itni der kyun kar di aane me, kab se tumhara intejar kar raha hu, aur aayi bhi to is tarah chupke chupke milkar chali ja rahi thi...

Sheya held his hand...

Shreya: I am sorry daya. Kaise aati , himmat hi nahi juta payi aapko is haal me dekhne ki..

Daya: himmat nahi juta payi? tumhe pata bhi hai, is haalat me tumhe dekhkar kitni himmat milti mujhe..

Shreya could not hold her tears..she came near him..daya was continuously looking at her without blinking..

Shreya: daya, ab kaisa feel kar rahe hain aap?

Daya (looking at her): tumhe dekh liya na, ab ekdaum theek feel kar raha hu..aur please rona band karo, kuch nahi hua hai mujhe..tumhe kya laga..main tumse door chala jaunga..maut bhi aa jaye na..he could not finish as shreya put her fingers on his lips..and nodded in no..

Shreya: please daya..aisi baate mat keejiye..

Daya just caught her hand and smiled at her..they kept staring each other..both were lost in each other..their cute eyelock was disturbed by pratima's loud and harsh voice..

Pratima: shreyaaaaa..

Both came out of their trance and looked at pratima, shreya immediately freed her hand from daya and moved away from him..

Pratima : tum yaha kya kar rahi ho..?

Daya: maa..shreya mujhse mine aayi thi..

Pratima: kiski izazat se?

Daya looked confusingly at her mother..

Daya: ijajat matlab? Isme kisi ki izazat ki kya jarurat hai maa?

Shreya lowered her head in embarresment..she could not meet her eyes with pratima..

Pratima: matlab, doctor ne kaha hai tumhe aram karde de, aur koi tumse na mile, isliye keh rahi hu main..

Daya: par maa..shreya mujhse subeh se nahi mili..

Pratima: tum chup raho daya, doctor ne mana kiya hai, tumhe jyada baate karne ko..she tuned to shreya..jao yaha se, daya ko aram karne do..

Shreya looked at her, and some tears escaped from her eyes..she said nothing, once again she looked at daya, and left from there..while daya was very much confused seeing pratima's behaviour towadrs shreya...

Daya: (pov) ye sab ho kya raha hai..maa ne shreya se itna rudely kyun baat kiya, wo to kabhi shreya se unchi awwaj me baat nahi karti..aakhir hua kya hai..mujhe aise kyun lag raha hai ki maa nahi chahti ki shreya mujhse mile, aur shayad maa ki wajeh se hi shreya ab tak mujhse milne nahi aayi thi..

Pratima: daya, tum aram karo..

Daya nodded and closed his eyes..as pratima came near him and started caressing his hair..

A/N: ok guys, so what do you think, is pratima's behaviour towards shreya right or wrong, kya daya ko pata chal payega pratima ki shreya ke liye narajgi ke bare me, pata chalne pe wo kaise react karega..kiska sath dega? Kya pratima apna gussa bhoolkar shreya ko maaf kar payegi..

To know all that, stay tuned with YRKKH, there is a twist waiting for you all in upcoming chapters..

Thank you all for your love and affection you have shown so far for this fic..

Love you all so much..

Keep loving dareya and YRKKH..
