The Peaceful Home…
Daya's Room…
Reaching at Daya's room door, Sunil giving a soft knock on the half-opened room door, opened the door and entered inside to find the latter sitting on the bed, grabbing a diary and a pencil in his hand, resulted…
Sunil exhaled an exasperated breath with: Yeh lo subah hue nahin aur utha li tum ny apni diary… (Seeing the latter remained completely unbothered by his bickering, reaching near him, Sunil took out the diary from his hands, ignoring all his protests, telling him in straight tone as…) Utho aur neechy chalo, hum badminton khailny lggy hain, main ny Abhijeet sy bhi kaha hai…
Daya firmly shook his head while signalling him towards the door and himself towards the diary and getting his meaning…
Sunil too shook his head firmly with: Bilkul nahin, main tumhien liye baghair nahin ja raha bilkul… (Grabbing his arm, tried to pull him up with…) Utho ab, baad mein kerty rehna apni yeh shayari, khary ho foren…
And ignoring all his protests and struggle, he forcefully made him stand and then pulled him out of the room with him while on his way stopping at Abhijeet's room door and taking him along too…
Lounge…
Soon the younger TRIO were downstairs and now headed towards the outside lawn when…
A strict voice stopped the three as: Kahan jaa rahy ho aap log yeh badminton rackets ly k…?
Sunil turning towards his mother replied as: Bahir lawn mein maa, badminton khailny…
Aarti asked them calmly as: Aur yeh badminton khailny jaisa smart idea hai ks ka…?
Daya guessing the right time of taking his revenge for not letting him write his poem, instantly pointed finger towards Sunil who was already sensing the upcoming trouble and hence glared at Daya when…
Abhijeet trying to be a saviour, tried as: Woh auntie, maira aur Sunil, dono ka tha idea…
And unintentionally through corner of his eyes he looked towards Daya for any reaction but did not get any while…
Aarti gave him a soft-disappointed smile with: Iss ko cover kerny ki koshish nahin kro baita, iss ko easey intelligent ideas pehli baar nahin aaye…
Sunil protested as: Maa yeh ghalat baat hai ab, aap bhi Baba aur Raghav uncle ki team mein shamil hoti ja rahi hain dheery dheery…
Aarti gave him a glare with: Insan bn jao aap Sunil, maar kha lo gy kisi din apny inn intelligent ideas ki wajah sy… (Addressed the three in authoritative tone as…) Jb tk doctor Abhijeet ko allow nahin krien gy bhagny dorny wali games, mujhy koe bchcha yahan wahan bhagta nazar na aaye, baith k khailo jo khailna hai, samajh gaye teeno…?
And three big nods followed that somewhat calm snubbing when shaking head disappointedly, Aarti left from there towards the laundry, she was earlier headed to…
When seeing they were left alone…
Sunil punched Daya's upper arm with: Yeh maa ko mairi shikayet lgany k liye, bdtameez na ho tou… (And he jerked his head still grumbling when noticing Daya raising his punch, Sunil instantly warned him with…) Khabardar jo wapis mara tou, rule hai na jo shikayet lgaye ga ussy maar prry gi, kyun lggae phir shikayet, faltu mein dantt perwa di…
Daya who was now busy in massaging his upper arm after pulling down his punch knowing that a rule is a rule, had rolled his eyes over him on that allegation and pointing towards the rackets, hit his forefinger a little hardly on Sunil's forehead and…
Sunil rubbed his forehead grumpily with: Maar hi dia bdtameez ny… (And tried to defend himself with…) Aur ptta hai mujhy k maira idea tha lekin rook nahin sakty thy kya tum…? Brray samajhdar bnny phirty ho yun tou hr samey…
Daya just let out a frustrated breath throwing his hands in air and snatching both badminton rackets from him, he left towards the stairs, leaving the grumpy one with his grumblings behind…
When leaving behind what had just happened…
Sunil turned towards Abhijeet with: Tumhien Carom pasand hai kya Abhijeet…?
Abhijeet's face went silent for a moment and then he shrugged quietly with: Shaid…
Sunil realizing the reason behind his sudden silence gave an assuring pressure on his upper arm with: Sb jaldi theek ho jaye ga, hmm… (Abhijeet gave him a silent smile where pulling back his hand, Sunil signalled him towards the couch, adding as…) Achha tum ab jao aur wahan baitho please, main Carom board ly k aata hoon… (Completed in light-friendly tone as…) Ager nahin pasand aaya tou Scrabble tou hai hi…
And giving a sweet wink to now smiling Abhijeet, he was about to leave when…
Abhijeet asked him in concerned tone as: Tum akely utha lo gy kya Carom board…? Main aaon sath mein…?
Sunil slightly shook his head with: Arry nahin, bohut baar uthaya hai main ny, tum baitho, main bs aaya… (And moving from there, he turned his head towards upstairs calling a little loudly as…) Daya hum Carom khailny lggy hain, aa jao ager khailni hai tou…
And he completely left towards the storeroom to grab the required things for the game…
After few minutes, Sunil returned in the lounge to find Abhijeet sitting there alone while randomly flipping pages of the magazine which he had grabbed from the centre-table…
When…
Sunil coming towards him, asked him as: Daya nahin aaya…?
Abhijeet, turning his attention towards him, slightly shook his head with: Nahin, shaid ussy aawaz na gae ho…
Sunil shook his head while busy in placing the Carom board on the centre-table with: Nahin, uss ny nahin aana, iss liye nahin aaya…
Abhijeet couldn't help, asking un-deliberately as: Mairi wajah sy…?
Sunil, thinking he misheard, looked at him confusingly as: Kya…?
Abhijeet, trying to cover now, slightly shook his head with: Nahin, kuchh nahin…
Sunil, from the uneasiness of the latter's body language had understood well that he did not mishear earlier hence replied in calm-balanced tone as: Ussy Carom pasand nahin hai khas aur yun bhi woh poem likh raha tha jb main ussy neechy khinch laya tou ab moqqa milty hi wapis chala gaya hai woh, uss ka dimagh jo wahin atka hua tha… (And taking few moments pause for any response from the other side but had received only a silent nod hence continued as…) Abhijeet, Daya is different, woh mairi ya tumhari tarhan nahin hai… (Taking a momentary pause, completed as…) Aur I think, tumhien iss baat ka thora bohut andaza already hai bhi…
Abhijeet, who was already having some doubts about Daya as he had very well observed his silence since he came there, tried a little reluctantly as: Woh baat nahin kerta…
Sunil nodded calmly with: Hmm, woh baat nahin kerta… (Added while stressing as…) Kyun k woh baat nahin ker sakta… (Seeing the questioning gaze still fixed on himself, he completed as…) Woh mute hai…
Abhijeet, though was already having that thought, still wasn't sure about what he just heard hence uttered instantly as: Kya…! (And then taking few moments to compose himself, presented his confusion as…) Lekin woh sign language use nahin kerta…?
Sunil nodded slightly with: Hmm, kyun k ussy sign language nahin aati…
Abhijeet looking totally confused now, asked him as: Sunil main tumhari baat nahin samajh paa raha, matlab ager woh mute hai tou ussy sign language kyun nahin aati…?
Sunil inhaling deeply had replied in balanced tone as: Daya ko sign language iss liye nahin aati kyun k woh sirf mute nahin hai… (Still receiving a confused-questioning look from the other side, he continued as…) He is autistic… (Real shock appeared in Abhijeet's eyes while Sunil nodded him slightly, added as…) Jb woh taqriben doo saal ka tha tb ussy PDD-NOS matlab "Pervasive Development Disorder–Not Otherwise Specified" diagnose hua tha… (Seeing the latter's blank-confused look, he chuckled with…) Long name isn't it…? (Abhijeet couldn't help but gave him a nod so nodding him back in same smile, he continued as…) Doctors ko bhi shaid yehi feel hua tabhi 2013 mein iss k sath char aur categories k neurodevelopmental disorders ko unhon ny aik hi umbrella k under ker dia, aur uss umbrella ko ASD matlab Autism Spectrum Disorder ka naam dia gaya… Lekin kyun k maira aur Daya ka birth year 2005 hai aur ussy 2007 mein yeh PDD-NOS diagnose hua, tb iss ko medically accept kia jata tha…
Abhijeet nodded still confused as: Lekin yeh diagnosis hai kya…?
Sunil started explaining as: Actually yeh aik neurodevelopmental disorder hai aur yeh diagnosis unn patients ko dia jata hai jo k puri tarhan autistic na hoon, mager unn mein autism k kuchh symptoms zaror hoon… As you can see, Daya fully autistic nahin hai, ussy fits nahin perty, woh aggressive nahin hai, uss k emotional breakdowns nahin hoty lekin ussy social interaction aur communication skills, dono mein hi problem hai…
Abhijeet interrupted him confusingly as: Communication skills…?!
Sunil nodded slightly with: Hmm, Daya by-birth mute nahin tha Abhijeet, issi autism k karen uss ki bolny ki shakti dheery dheery puri tarhan sy chali gae…
Abhijeet taking few moments to wrap his head around that new information, asked the latter again as: Tou iss ka treatment ya kuchh, I mean…
And he stopped seeing the latter nodding understandably and…
Sunil replied him as: Jb Daya ko PDD-NOS diagnose hua tha, tabhi sy uss ka treatment start ho gaya tha, different behavioural therapies, speech therapies, physical therapies, medications, pata nahin kya kuchh aur issi sb treatment k karen woh aaj kisi hdd tk healthy life jee raha hai… (Completed in satisfied smile as…) And we are really proud of him, it wasn't easy for him at all…
Abhijeet nodded in small smile with: I understand as I can see how much you all love and care for him… Lekin bs main samajh nahin paa raha k jb doo saal ki age mein hi uss ki condition diagnose ho gae thi aur yeh bhi dikh raha tha k uss ki bolny ki shakti py effect ho raha hai tou kisi ny sign language ka option use kerny ka socha kyun nahin…?
Sunil smiled sadly with: Kyun k tb thori si umeed thi k shaid woh wapis bolny lggy ga, uss ka treatment bhi smoothly chal raha tha, doctors bhi hopeful thy, phir…
And seeing him stopping in mid-air…
Abhijeet getting well that it was hard for him to continue, added softly as: Phir…?
Sunil exhaling a heavy breath had looked at him silently, adding as: Abhijeet, Daya mairy Chachu ka baita hai aur mairy Chachu Goa police mein thy tou Chachu-Chachi aur Daya, sb Goa mein hi hoty thy… (Looking away, added in lost tone as…) Mujhy yaad hai achhy sy, uss rooz sy kuchh din pehly hi hum Chachu k paas sy summer vacations guzar k wapis Pune aaye thy, Baba tb wahin job kerty thy jb uss rooz Baba ko Goa sy call aai… Woh call Goa police ki thi… (Taking a momentary pause, looked at Abhijeet adding quietly as…) Chachu-Chachi ko unn k ghar py kisi ny murder ker dia tha aur Daya ny sb daikha… (Abhijeet looked at him in pain-filled-shock when spreading hands on his face to compose his emotions, Sunil continued as…) Raghav uncle Chachu k immediate senior thy, unhon ny investigation ki tou ptta chala k Chachu js gang k peichhy thy, unhien logon ny uss raat unn k ghar k drwazy py unhien golian maar dien aur jb golion ki aawaz suun k Chachi wahan aaien tou unhon ny unhien bhi maar dia… (Taking a momentary pause, he added as…) Woh log Daya ko nahin daikh skky kyun k woh kitchen k drwazy k sath khara tha aur itna shocked tha k woh jahan khara tha, wahin freeze ho gaya, aur shaid issi liye woh bach gaya… Neighbours ny golion ki aawaz suun ker police ko call ker di thi aur jb Raghav uncle apni team k sath wahan pohanchy tou unhien Daya ussi drwazy k paas zameen py behosh girra mila… (Gulping down a deep breath, he continued as…) Jb agly rooz hum log Goa uss hospital mein pohanchy jahan Raghav uncle unn sb ko ly k gaye thy tou ptta chala k Daya raat sy ICU mein hi tha aur uss ki halat bilkul stable nahin thi… Ussy bohut tezz bukhar tha jo k doctors control nahin ker paa rahy thy aur dopahar sy hi ussy strokes bhi aany lggy thy aur woh kisi medicine ko response nahin ker raha tha… (Looked at Abhijeet with silent eyes, adding as…) Main tb sirf chhey saal ka tha Abhijeet lekin aaj bhi achhy sy yaad hai k uss k room sy bahir aa k doctor uncle ny kya kaha tha Baba ko… Unhon ny kaha k dua krien ussy subah tk hosh aa jaye ya uss ka bukhar control ho jaye warna shaid hum ussy bhi kho… (And he stopped there when Abhijeet standing from his seat, sat beside him and consolingly pressed his upper-arm in silence… Sunil nodded slightly adding as…) Mushkil time tha woh, bohut zada mushkil… Daya ko hosh tou aa gaya tha lekin woh bohut buri tarhan traumatized tha uss sb sy jo uss ny daikha… (Looked towards Abhijeet adding as…) Aur woh ab tk uss trauma sy puri tarhan sy nahin nikla aur na hi doctors hopeful hain k woh kabhi nikal paye ga… (Told him in composed tone as…) Abhijeet, Daya is different, woh na hi mairi ya tumhari tarhan soch sakta hai, na hi wasey act ker sakta hai… (Nodded understandably with…) I know tumhien shaid feel ho raha hai k woh tumhien avoid ker raha hai ya uss ka attitude utna welcoming nahin hai jitna hona chahiye… (Abhijeet kept silence, if not approved it then denied it neither while Sunil added softly as…) Lekin woh tumhien avoid nahin ker raha, uss ny jb tumhien daikha, tum apny hi khoon mein nahaye hoye, zameen py behosh girry hoye thy… Woh khoon daikh k, khas ker behta khoon daikh k ab bhi freeze sa ho jata hai, even ager woh easa koe scene kisi movie ya drama mein hi kyun na daikh ly… Aur phir tumhari yeh sb bandages, yeh bruises, woh inn sb ko avoid ker raha hai, tumhien nahin…
Abhijeet nodded slightly in slow tone as: Main samajh raha hoon Sunil, and I am sorry, main…
Sunil cut him softly with: Abhijeet please, main ny tumhien guilty feel kerwany k liye yeh sb nahin btaya, tum apni jagah sahi ho bilkul, main bs Daya ki position clear kerna chah raha tha…
Abhijeet nodded understandably with: Hmm, I got it now… (And looked towards him asking as…) Daya ka koe treatment waghaira kerwaya kya iss drr ko khatam kerny k liye…?
Sunil nodded with: Hmm, bohut… Uss k treatments tou tb sy hi start ho gaye thy jb ussy PDD-NOS diagnose hua tha… (Added in quiet tone as…) Lekin phir Chachu-Chachi k murders ny Daya ka treatment bohut zada mushkil aur challenging bana dia… (Continued in a little relieved tone as…) Saat saal lgatar psychiatrists aur doctors k regular visits k baad finally aik saal pehly Baba ny sb bnd ker dia kyun k aik tou Daya ki health condition kafi hdd tk stable ho chuki thi aur phir inn visits k baad woh bohut down sa ho jata tha, aur kabhi kabhi bohut frustrated bhi… (Told him in brimming smile as…) Aur phir hum log bohut khush hain k woh bohut hdd tk life mein wapis aa gaya hai, bol nahin sakta tou na sahi, lekin humien apni baat bohut easily communicate ker daita hai woh… (Concluded casually as…) Baba hain abhi bhi uss k doctors sy in-contact, khas ker uss k psychiatrist sy, aur abhi bhi kabhi kabhi Daya jata hai unn k paas but woh visits once in a while hoty hain ab, pehly k jaisy regular nahin…
Abhijeet nodded understandably while asking another query as: Aur uss ka school…? (Sunil looked at him in question so he elaborated as…) Matlab Daya school tou gaya ho ga na tou wahan dosry students aur teachers sy interact bhi kerna prra ho ga ussy…
Sunil shook his head with: Nahin Abhijeet, Daya school nahin gaya… (Abhijeet looked at him in question so he elaborated as…) Daya home-schooled hai, maa ny perhaya hai ussy… Metric k aur abhi first-year k humary jo board exams hoye hain, Daya ny as a private student diye hain woh… Inn sb treatments aur sessions ny ussy itna independent aur confident ker dia hai k woh examination hall mein, dosry students k sath baith k papers dy paya hai, warna shaid uss k kuchh saal waste ho jaty kyun k eventually board k exams tou sb ny examination hall mein hi dainy hoty hain…
Abhijeet nodded agreeably with: Hmm, yeh sach mein aik brri achievement hai… (Sunil smiled at him modestly while Abhijeet asked him as…) Iss ka matlab tum hospital mein Daya ki baat ker rahy thy na k tumhien khamosh logon sy baat kerny ki aadat hai…? (Sunil nodded in silent smile… Abhijeet nodding him back, asked hesitantly as…) Tou kaisy, matlab ager uss sy communicate kerna ho tou kaisy ker sakty hain…?
Sunil smiled wholeheartedly with: Tumhien uss sy baat kerni hai…? (Abhijeet nodded reluctantly so the latter nodding him back, continued in same smile as…) It's really simple, jaisy tum mujh sy baat ker rahy ho, wasey hi uss sy bhi ker sakty ho aur phir woh jo response kry ussy follow kerna ho ga, and I can bet k tumhary yeh bilkul mushkil nahin ho ga, as I have noticed you are a really good observer…
Abhijeet smiled sweetly with: Thank you, I will try my best…
Sunil nodded smiling with: I can bet on it… (Abhijeet chuckled sweetly while Sunil added as…) Ab ager Daya sy related sb questions khatam ho gaye hoon tou Carom ki game ho jaye…? (Completed mischievously as…) Aur ya phir main maan lun k tumhien Carom pasand nahin, tabhi avoid ker rahy ho…
Abhijeet chuckled while grabbing the striker with: All the best… (Winking at him, completed as…) Feels like, you kind of gonna need it…
Sunil turning in "Game on" mode had replied excitedly as: Very well then, bring it on fella…
Abhijeet laughed lightly while making the strike and the game was on… ;)
Both kids were really busy in giving tough competition to the other and were still devotedly trying to put the Queen in the pocket when the door of the lounge opened, turning both kids' attentions towards the person entering inside and…
Sunil instantly stood up, greeting in confused-excited smile as: Baba aap iss time ghar py…?
Abhijeet, who too was standing already, greeted him as: Hello uncle…
Malay with a smiley nod returned both kids' greeting with: Hello bachcho… (And while grabbing the seat on the couch sidewise placing his office-bag near the couch, added as…) Baith jao bhae bchcho, khary kyun ho gaye ho…? (Seeing the kids sitting again now, he turned towards Sunil asking as…) Maa kahan hain aap ki baita…?
Sunil replied casually as: Woh laundry area mein gae thien, Kaki ny last time kapry mix ker diye thy na tou issi liye shaid ab Maa apny samny kerwana chah rahi hain kaam…
Malay nodded understandably with: Sahi, wasey jb bhi naye sheher mein shift hoty hain, aap ki Maa ko house-worker ka bohut problem ho jata hai…
Sunil replied agreeably with: Jee Baba, tabhi tou Maa aap ki postings ka suun k itna preshan ho jati hain…
Malay replied smilingly as: Hmm lekin aap tou bohut enjoy kerty ho na, nai nai jaghien jo daikhny ko milti hain… (Sunil chuckled while giving him a big nod where Malay asked him as…) Achha khair, yeh btao k Daya kahan hai…?
Sunil, making face, replied annoyingly as: Apny room mein, apni diary mein srr dy k baitha Hua hai subah sy, hazoor ko nai shairi ki aamd hue hai…
Malay chuckled with: Jealous…
Sunil replied grumpily as: Very funny Baba… (And while standing, he completed caringly as…) Main aap k liye pani ly k aata hoon…
Malay nodded smilingly while Sunil left from there towards the kitchen and…
Malay turning towards the other kid who was silently listening to the two till then, asked him smilingly as: Aur baita, hum dono baap-baita aap ko bore tou nahin ker rahy thy…?
Abhijeet chuckled while slightly shook his head with: Arry nahin uncle, main tou bohut enjoy ker raha tha aap dono ki baatien… (And bound by his inquisitive nature, asked him little reluctantly as…) Aap sy aik baat pouchhon uncle…?
Malay nodded smilingly with: Jee baita, zaror pouchho…?
Abhijeet asked him respectfully as: Uncle aap kya job kerty hain js mein itni postings hoti hain aap ki…?
Malay chuckled lightly with: Lo yeh sawal tha, main yunhi drr raha tha k kahin mairi age hi na pouchh lo… (Abhijeet chuckled sweetly while Malay replied in same soft smile as…) Main IAS officer hoon baita, iss liye itni postings hoti hain mairi…
Abhijeet asked in pleasant surprise as: Matlab aap ny UPSC exam clear kia hua hai…?
Meanwhile Sunil returned while grabbing the glass of water and giving him a "Thank you" smile…
Malay while grabbing the glass from him replied the latter in flow as: Jee baita, main ny aur Milind dono ny… (And unintentionally he stopped there in mid while a silent shadow passed through Sunil's face who had already grabbed his seat beside Abhijeet when inhaling deeply, Malay turned towards Abhijeet, completing in composed tone as…) Milind maira chhota bhai, Daya ka pita…
Abhijeet nodded condolingly as: Sunil ny btaya mujhy uncle, I am really sorry for uncle and auntie…
Malay gave him a composed smile with: Thank you baita, very kind of you… (And added in fresh tone as…) Aur jee, hum dono ny hi UPSC exam clear kia hua hai, main IAS officer bn gaya aur uss ka aim shuru sy hi IPS tha…
Abhijeet nodded in silent smile when trying to change the topic…
Sunil said in casual tone as: Baba main Daya ko bhi bula lata hoon warna baad mein lrry ga k main ny btaya nahin aap k aany ka…
Malay slightly shook his head while stopping him with: Aap apni game continue kro, main bula laita hoon ussy… (And turning his face towards upstairs, called a little aloud as…) Daya, baita neechy aana zara…
When listening to his voice…
Aarti who had just returned from the laundry area, left towards the lounge with: Aap jaldi aa gaye aaj…?
Malay looked towards her with: Teen bjjy tk jana hai wapis…
Aarti nodded with: Main lunch ki taiyari daikhti hoon…
Malay nodded and Aarti left from there sidewise noticing Daya coming downstairs and flashing at him a soft smile who reciprocated it when…
Malay called him softly as: Daya yahan aao baita… (Daya giving him a nod left towards him and reaching near him, sat beside him when Malay asked him smilingly as…) Sunil btta raha tha mairy baity ny naye poem likhi hai…? (Daya glancing over Sunil to find him playing Carom now, nodded to Malay while Malay asked him lovingly as…) Dikhao gy nahin…?
Daya giving him a nod stood up and left towards his room while Malay smilingly turned towards the other two kids, seeing them enjoying their game…
Soon Daya returned and opening the diary, forwarded that towards Malay who grabbed it in soft smile when…
Sunil instantly uttered as: Baba humien bhi sunaiye ga please…
Malay nodded without moving his gaze from the diary with: Jaisy hr baar tou mujhy akely perhny daity ho na aap…
Sunil just made a grumpy face while a small smile crept on Abhijeet's face and he looked towards Daya to find him sitting there silently when his attention shifted on Malay, listening to…
Malay reading the poem as:
MAIRI RAAT DIN MEIN CHHUPI HUI, MAIRA DIN CHHUPA KISI RAAT MEIN…
MAIRI ZINDAGI AIK RAAZ HAI, KOE RAAZ HAI MAIRI ZAAT MEIN…
KOE MUTMAIEN BHI NAHIN HUA, KOE HO BHI JAYE TOU ISS MEIN KYA…?
MUJHY PERH RAHA HAI YEH SHEHER TOU, KOE BAAT HAI MAIRI BAAT MEIN…
MAIN JAHAN KAHIN BHI BHATAK GAYA, WAHIN GIRTY GIRTY SAMBHL GAYA…
MUJHY THOKRON SY PTTA CHALA, KOE CHAL RAHA HAI MAIRY SATH MEIN…
MAIRI RAAT DIN MEIN CHHUPI HUI, MAIRA DIN CHHUPA KISI RAAT MEIN…
MAIRI ZINDAGI AIK RAAZ HAI, KOE RAAZ HAI MAIRI ZAAT MEIN…
And completing the poem, Malay looked towards Daya to find him sitting there silently while casually playing with his fingers…
Malay placing hand on his head, smoothly pulled him towards himself and stamped a soft kiss on his temple and moving back Daya gave him a small smile when…
Malay forwarding his diary towards him, told him lovingly as: Bohut pyari poem hai baita, bohut achha lagta hai mairy baity ko apny vichar kaghaz py uttarta daikh k… Bhagwan mairy bchchy ki hiffazat kry ko issy zindagi mein bohut aagy ly k jaye…
Daya giving him a sweet smile was about to stand to leave towards his room to place the diary back when stopped listening to…
Sunil's praising voice as: Poem tou sach mien bohut achhi likhi hai jorridar… (Daya looked at him smilingly while he continued as…) Kabhi mairy liye bhi kuchh likho wasey, aur uss ka title rakhna, "Mahan Sunil"… (While trying to bribe him, added hurriedly as…) Main bohut tareef kron ga, sach…
Daya just shook his head looking highly disappointed and signalled him towards his game and before Sunil could reply anything…
Abhijeet said in soft-slightly reluctant tone as: Daya, poem sach mein bohut khobsorat thi…
Daya glancing over him slightly nodded him in small silent smile when…
Malay said appreciatively as: Aur ab itni pyari poem likhny py mairy baity ko inam bhi mily ga… (Daya looked at him questioningly so Malay added smilingly as…) Soch raha hoon Goa ka aik chakkar ho jaye…?
And a big broad smile came on Daya's face with his eyes twinkling reflecting his level of happiness and his head was moving in big nod where…
Malay chuckled softly seeing his excitement with: Jao packing ker lo, aaj raat ko nikalna hai…
And before anyone could know, Daya was long gone…
And Malay still smiling turned towards the kids to find of the two looking little confused and understanding well what was bothering him…
Malay told himself as: Daya k Nanu hoty hain wahan… (Abhijeet's gaze had already moved towards him while he added as…) Daya bohut attached hai unn sy… (And he stood up with…) Aap dono bhi packing ker lo… (Seeing shock-filled-reluctance coming in Abhijeet's body language, he completed softly while looking towards Abhijeet with…) Aap ko achha lggy ga wahan baita, lekin zabardasti nahin hai koe…
Sunil said in carefree tone as: Baba don't worry, main convince ker lun ga issy…
Malay chuckled while nodding with: Convince kerny ki koshish kerna, force nahin…
Sunil nodded assuring-ly and throwing a smiley glance over confused Abhijeet, he left from there towards his own room while the kids, who had already lost their interest in the game after Malay returned and they got busy in talks, collected the game without any result and placing it back in the store, the two left upstairs to get fresh before lunch…
