Time is like an evolution process. Time and it's plays will never end even when we feel that it has ended. But it will never leave anyone alone. There will be some chances of survival every time. What is important is to recognize it and take its support. There will always be a Noah's ship even in the midst of Great Floods.
The hammer struck twice. He heard in his ear those strange words,'You are free'. An unbelievable moment for him . For a second the light of freedom penetrated in him. But soon he was dazzled by the very idea of liberty. Being incarcerated for the past 85 days, the thought of being released seemed surreal to him. He was caught up in his feelings , not really understanding what was his feelings or how to identify his feelings. He felt being defeated. He has been again deprived of his justice,his death. He couldn't believe what happened a few hours ago.
Police officer : Abhijeet aaj tume court mai present karna hai.
Abhijeet: court mai kyom. Mera saza tay ho Chuka hai na.
Police officer: Ek Sarojini namak aurat ne tumare liye review petition file kiya hai Court mai.
Abhijeet: Sarojini. Matlab maa ji ne.
Police officer: Tumare kismat acha hai tho mrithyu se Bacha sakta hai. Prarthana karo
Sampark: Beta meine kaha na bhagwaan kuch jaadu zaroor dikhaunga.
Abhijeet just smiled. He didn't know why this God is so cruel. When he want to live God intrudes into the life in the form of never ending problems and push him to the verge of death. And now when he was ready for his last trip God himself come in between as solutions. He doesn't want this to happen. But what could he do before his fate.
He was taken to the court premises once again. He was actually tired with this process called trial,or may be with his own helplessness when someone is pointing fingers at him and make his life long hard work a mere butt of tease. Still everything is same. His team on the benches, his mentor with that stern gaze, his brother with his head down. But one thing changed. To his surprise the entire process is reversed from the previous one. Instead of the prosecutor it is the defense lawyer roaring today. He stood there silently without getting the new drama that is going on Infront of him. On the summon of the defense lawyer Rishinath is on the witness box
Defence lawyer: Aap is case ki chief investigating officer dhi. So is case ko kitni din mei complete kiya
Rishinath: one week mai. It was one of the most fastlly handled case in our history.
Lawyer: It is very appreciable. But may I ask you something,the whole case was based on a video from an anonymous source. Aap us video par kaise vishwas kiya. Vo nakli bhi ho sakta hai na.
Rishinath:hum uska test karwaya
Lawyer: But a detailed analysis usually takes one week time.
Rishinath: The preliminary test proved it. Phir detailed analysis ki zaroorat kya dhi
Lawyer: So you have not done the detailed analysis.
Rishinath: No. Mujhe samay nahi mila.
Lawyer: My Lord here is the detailed analysis report which shows that the video is professionally manipulated. So Inspector Rishinath Ek aur sawal you have been suspended amidst the proceedings of the case. On what grounds.
Rishinath: custodial torture.
Lawyer: Note the point your owner. Here is the medical reports of Abhijeet, he had been seriously injured . Even after that do you succeed in eliciting confession.
Rishinath: No.
Lawyer: Ek aur baat. You have submitted a bank statement in the court showing that Abhijeet 's bank account has a sudden credit.
Rishinath: yes. It has some foreign connection too.
Lawyer: Your owner. It has some foreign connection because it came from a NRI. He is a philanthropist, who funded Abhijeet for his charity undertakings. We have his statement recorded. ( Abhijeet was actually surprised hearing it. He doesn't get the head and tail of anything. ) ab Aap ja sakta hai Inspector Rishinath
Your owner let me have the eye witness on the witness box.
Lawyer: Aap Abhijeet ko us gang ki admiyom se baat cheet karne bhi friendly tarikke se. Kya aap Abhijeet ko pahle kabhi dekha.
Witness: nahi.
Lawyer: jab aap Abhijeet ko dekha, vo is Roop mai dha kya.
Witness: nahi . Much dha, ise laga ki vesh badlane ki koshish kiya hai.
Defence: Tho phir aap kaise tay kiya vo Abhijeet hai.
Witness: Vo Inspector sir ne photo dikhwaya tho mujhe laga.
Defence: So you are not sure. Please note the point your owner.
And our second eye witness have undergone a conjunctivitis operation last month. So how can we believe that he recognized Abhijeet in his disguise
Lawyer: So Inspector Rishinath, If I say that in the hurry to solve the case ,you have totally manipulated everything. Am I right.
Rishinath: I have pressure to solve the case on a su dden basis from HQ. But l don't know how all these happened. Some one has played behind it. Hume Ek avasar aur dho. Abhijeet ke sachai hum Bahar launga.
Lawyer: your owner, there is no valid evidence to prove my client a criminal. So I request the court to quash the death sentence and let him free.
Rishinath: But your owner, Abhijeet ko aise Bahar bhej diya tho vo sab evidences destroy karunga. Aap aise mat kijiye.
Judge: Sorry Inspector we cannot detain a person without any evidences. You can further proceed with the case , but Abhijeet will be free from today.
The court adjourned.
Abhijeet stood in the witness box unable to believe the reality. He looked at his are sitting with the same indifferent attitude. No concern no happiness. He felt a pang in his heart seeing them like this.
Police officer: Sir aap humare saath police station aao. kuch formalities puri karna hai.
The police officers led him outside. He followed them automatically out of habit. In the yard , the tv reporters were busy reporting his fate. Rishinath came out side. Both have an eye contact. Abhijeet expected some hateful words from him. But Suddenly Rishinath came and shook his hands with that of his. Some cameras take it snaps. Abhijeet was standing amazed. He cannot figure out anything . Everything is happening so rapidly that his brain was not able to process it. Soon the Cid team came to the place. Media surrounded them.
Reporter: Witness ki ye defection dekhkar apko kya laga. Ex senior Inspector Abhijeet ke gang ke log Abhijeet ko bachane ke liye witness ko kharidne ka possiblities hum ignore kar sakta hai kya.
Acp: hume pata nahi hai. Pur gawah ki defection dekhkar kuch aisa hi lag raha hai. Hum sada Sach ki saath hoga. Yathi Abhijeet gunaah kiya hai tho usse saza avashy milna hai. Hume ab bhi unpar shak hai
Abhijeet felt a very high degree of pain inside him hearing it. Although he is used to it,he felt pang in his heart Everytime hearing this word shak from his mentor
Reporter: Court proceedings kadam karne ka baad Rishinath Abhijeet ko hand shake diya. Kya hum ab Inspector Rishinath par vishwas kar sakte.
Acp: Rishinath mera officer nahi hai. Uske bare mei mai Kuch nahi bataunga.
Reporter: ab Abhijeet wapas Cid me shamil hoga kya.
Acp: Nahi. Pahle hume aur Janata ko vo begunah hone ki baat par Yakeen ana hai. Phir hum tay karunga uska Cid me ane ke bare mai.
The next question was to ASP Daya . Abhijeet already in a devastated condition hearing Acp sir's words looked at Daya with a hope to get some words in his favour.
Reporter:ASp Daya . apko is bare mai kya kahna hai.
Daya: (didn't noticed Abhijeet there and said) Acp sir ke rai humare bhi rai hai. Vo undercover cop Mar Chuka hai. Ye Ek Sach hai. Uska khooni ko pakane tak hum Abhijeet ko pure tarah vishwas nahi kar sakta.
Reporter: so You are saying that there is a chance of manipulating the witness.
Daya: Shayad.
He turned his face other side on Freddy's insist to see Abhijeet there with the broken eye . Daya give a helpless look to him and without even going near him, went from the court premises. The Cid team followed him. Some looked at Abhijeet with sympathetic gaze. Abhijeet was dumbstruck and stared at the retreating figure of his brother. He has again hoped that his brother will be the happiest one to see him free. He will come and hug him. But all remained hopes just hopes.
Soon after the Cid team retreated media surrounded him.
Reporter: Aap Sach ma begunah hai kya. Ise achanak gawah kaise badal gaya. Rishinath se apka kya samband hai. Kya ye sab Ek natak dha.
He was not in a mental status to answer any of the questions. He is not actually getting answers to his questions. He has been taken to the police station to complete the formalities. He has been given back his possessions and a . He checked the locket and was amazed to see it missing. Soon the police officer hand him some rupee notes. It will be around rs. 200 That note bought tears in his eyes. The return for his hard labour in this two months.
The jailer who was astonished by the new developments came near him.
Jailer: Sir hum . Vo aap hume maaf kar dijiye. Hum apko Khooni samachkar vo sab kiya hai.
Abhijeet didn't understood how he should react. Should he be angry with them. But why should he be angry to anyone when his fate itself is his villian. But what emotion should he show to them. He was in a bewildered state of mind. He forget how to depict his varied emotions now. He went out without any reactions.
Outside the police station he stood in confusion. Where should he go now. His house will have already been taken back. How will he go to his brother's house. He has not called him their. After all he doesn't want to be a refugee. When has this formalities developed between them. He didn't know. But his self esteem will not allow him to go there. His team left him in the road and went. Now where to go is his biggest problem. He felt it is better to be in jail, he atleast don't want to worry about his food and shelter there. His eyes has been tired of crying and hoping to. No one could have said what was going on inside him,not even he himself. Even on his face nothing could be discerned with certainity. He saw with dismay the dis integration in him. He truly would have preferred to be in prison ,than to be here in this state. Soon he felt a hand around his wrist. He for a moment expected it to be his brother. But it was not him.
Abhijeet: Maa aap kyom kiya aisa. Kyom bachaya mujhe. Mujhe ab jeena nahi hai. Koi nahi hai mera.
Maa: Nahi Bacha. Aise haarna mat. Zindhagi mei khushi ke sath Sath aise dukhi bhi hoga. Tum uske age kabhi harna mat. Tum mere sath aao. Mere ghar.
Abhijeet: Nahi maa. Apko bahut problem hogi. Mujhe bachakar apne bahut galat kiya. Aap suna hai na vo media wale aap ke bare mai kya kya kah raha hai. Mai Kahi aur jaunga.
Maa: kaham jaunga tum.
Abhijeet: maa ab mujhe sab ka adat hai. Rahne ke liye ghar nahi mila tho Kisi sunsan jagah mai raat bitaunga. Phir Kal morning kuch arrange Karunga. Aap ab ghar jaiye.
Maa: Yathi mai tumare apna maa hai tho tum kabhi aise nahi kahta. Har bache apne sare dukh maa ke godh mai soup dena chahta hai. Par mai tumare apna nahi hai na. Mai jaa raha hoon. Tume yathi Ek ghar ki zaroorat hai tho ye booti aurat ko yaad karna.
Abhijeet fell prey to a new host of sensation. He was overcome with a susceptibility to emotion,which he fought against all these days. He called her . She felt her whole world lighten up with that one call. It contained several emotions .
Abhijeet: maa... Mai Apke saath aa raha hoon.
She returned and hold his hand and took him with her. Another person heard the conversation with a teary eye behind them.
They sat in a rickshaw. He felt everything different even though he spent only two or three months in jail. The abundance of color against the sick gray of the jail with his inmates all in white,colourless,joyless and soul sucking experience was really different for him now. He reached her house. She led him in .
Maa: beta tum fresh ho jao. Tumare kamre mai jao. Mai Khana banata hoon.
Owning his own room, being called for food softly, someone preparing it for him ,everything disturbed him. But how should he show it Infront of this epitome of love called mother. If it have been his brother he should have expressed his every emotions in front of him. But not in front of her because he has not been used to it. So he did as ordered. She came to his room to see him squatting on the floor.
Maa: Beta tum aise floor mai kyom baita hai.
Abhijeet: Vo maa mujhe acha lag raha hai.
Maa: Ab udo. Ye Ek pants aur shirt hai tumare liye Maine kharidha hai. Jao nahao aur ye pahankar aao. Tume pasand aya hai kya.
Abhi:mera liye ab kya pasand na pasand hai maa. Sab pasand hoo.
Maa:Yathi tume pasand nahi hai tho Almirah mai tumare sare kapde hai. Mai Daya beta ko kahkar laya hai.
Abhi: Daya ko. vo janta hai Mai yaham ane Vale hoon.
Maa: Ha Maine usse kaha ki Mai tumhe kuch din mere pass le jaunga. Vo ha bhi kaha.
Abhi:(pov) bojh ban gaya hoga us par. Is liye maaji ne pucha aur usne haa bhi kaha.
He doesn't want to interfere in Daya's life. Maybe he will not have gone with him even if he have called him. But he cannot afford to think that his brother is ignoring him. This is the beauty of true relations.
Now he is on the sofa in the hall. He felt a bit refreshed after that bathe. He felt that he is relieved from the dirt of prison.
Maa: beta kuch der mai bhojan ho jaunga. Tab tak tum Tv dekho.
She switched on the Tv and went. What he saw in front was a news channel. The projecting scene in the screen is his encounter with Rishinath.
News reader: Ex Senior Inspector Abhijeet is acquitted of his offences. Kya ye humare police ka failure hai ya phir judiciary ka. Hum aaj charcha karenga is vishay par. Aap log apne rai Prakad kar sakta hai X news par.
Person1 : Sab natak hai natak. Aise achanak gawah Ek aur se dusre aur jana . Sare saboot nakli ban jana. Kon vishwas karenga ye sab. Ye Rishinath Aur Abhijeet ka natak hai natak.
Person 2: Aaj Ek aur baar ye sabit hua hai ki dhan aur power hai tho kitne bada khooni bhi Asani se Bach jaunga.
Person 3: Acp Pradumnan Sahi hai. Uske jaise officer ke haath mai hona hai ye case. Usne aaj Sahi kaha. Aise impartial officers chahiye hum. Yathi ye case Cid handle kar raha hai tho ab tak Abhijeet ka phasi hua hoga.
Abhijeet sat there without any expressions. He doesn't even have the courage to change the channel. He glared it as some strange thing.
Maaji came from kitchen. Seeing the Tv she realized her mistake. She switched off the Tv.
Maaji: Ye log aisa hai. Jo man mai aya vo kahta hai. Bina kuch soch samachkar. Tum Khalo.
She forwarded a plate to him. He took it with trembling hands. But didn't eat anything. He just rotated his fingers in the food plate.
Maaji: Bacha vo plate lao. Mai khilata hoon.
Abhi: mai khaunga maa. Aap pareshan mat ho.
Maaji: Maine kaha na yaham lao aur mukh kholo.
She give him bite by bite in his mouth. At first he felt some insecurity but soon he surrendered to her love. His eyes become teary. There was no any relation between them. But his one help had given a true and precious relation to him when he needed it like hell. That is why we should never hate life. There will be someone or something in our life always to lift us from the deep darkness of isolation.
Abhi: maa mujhe Itna pyaar mat karo. Mai apko bhi keval dukh hi de sakta hai.
Maa: Nahi beta . Tum jaise ek beta apne maa ko kabhi dukh nahi pahunchega.
Abhi: mai pahunchaya dha maa. Apne hi maa ko. Aur vo mujhe chodkar chale gaya. Mujhe yaham Akela sab Sahane ke liye chod diya.
Maa: tumare maa ka Marne ka karan tum nahi hai. Vo vidhi ka vidhan dha. Aise sab keliye apne apko doshi mat mano beta zindhagi Ek bojh ho jayega.
Abhi: Mere liye ye bojh hi hai maa. Mere liye ab kya Bacha hai is life mai.
Maa: kitne log isse bada mushkilom ke samne karke ghada ho Jata hai beta. Kitne ladkiyom apne maan ghone ke baat bhi lad raha hoon. kitne bache Bachpan se hi anat hone ki baat bhi apne aap ghada ho raha hoon. tumare Daya ki tarah. tum bahut Bahadur hai na. Ek cid cop dhe. Tumare liye kuch bhi impossible nahi hai. Marna Ek asan tarikka hai har mushkilom se Bachana ke liye. Par Jo log jeeker mushkilom ke samne Karta hai vo mahan ban Jata hai beta.
Abhi: par jeene ke liye koi apna hona chahiye na maa.
Maa: beta jeene ke liye zindhagi hone chahiye beta. Vo hai tumare pass. Usse istamaal karo. Shayad ye zindhagi dubara nahi mila tho. Beta mai janta hoon aise Kisi ko Salah dena bahut asan hai. Par koshish karo beta. Ek bar aur jeene ki. Kisi aur ke liye nahi hai tho apne liye. Bahut ho gaya bathom. Ab tum so jao.
Abhijeet couldn't understand anything at the moment. He was not in a state to comprehend such things . So he silently went to sleep.
The softness of the bed irritated him. Also he was not used to such relaxed sleeps. So he give up the idea of sleeping and start strolling through the room feeling the fresh air of freedom.
The sunlight found him on lying on the bare floor cuddling like a baby. His sleep was destroyed by some sound from outside. He woke up and went to verandah to see a crowd in front of house talking to maaji.
Neighbour 1 : Sarojini tum ye bahut bura kar raha hoon. Na Jane vo kis maksad se tumare pass aya hoon. Tum use ghar se niklo . Hum tumare bhalai ke liye kah raha hoon.
Maaji: Mere bhalai mai ache tarah janta hoon. Ap log mere bare mai Chinta mat karo.
Neighbour 2: ye keval tumare kary nahi hai. Humare ilake mai hum aise Ek admi ko bardash nahi karunga.
Maaji: Ye mera ghar hai . Yeham Kon rahega nahi rahega vo mai tay karunga. Ap log please jaiye.
Neighbour 1: iska anjaam bahut bura hoga. Tab madad magne keliye humare pass mat ana.
Maaji: mere madad karne ke liye mere beta kafi hai. Vo ye baat sthapit bhi kiya hai. Aap log please jaiye.
She turned to enter into the house and found him at the threshold.
Bacha chodo . Ye sab tum man mai nahi lena. Sab theek hoga.
Abhi: Maa mere liye aap bahut kuch sahta hai.
Maa: Tum mere bare mai Sochkar aise udaas mat ho. Apne bare mai Socho. Apne aap ko Mazboot banao.
The day proceeded normally. In around noon there was a knock on the door. Maaji opened the door to find Daya.
Maa: Daya beta andar aao.
Daya: maa vo Abhi.
Maa: upar kamre mai hai. Mai bulaunga.
Abhijeet Zara niche aao. Dekho Kon aya hai.
Abhijeet hesitated first but again on maaji 's insist came down to see his brother sitting on the sofa. Daya's fingers were unrest showing his nervousness . He was in an excitement to see his brother free after such long time. At the same time he was afraid of his reaction. Seeing his brother coming out of his room Daya stood up suddenly. He felt a sudden urge to go and hug his only relation. But what will be his reaction. Tears flowed down like unending streams.
But Abhijeet was composed. He hasn't have any expressions on his face. He came and stood in front of him. Both of them have no words for the moment. There eyes are talking. They are exchanging complaints, pain, love and concern. Finally Abhi broke the silence.
Abhi: Aap yaham kyom aya hai. Ye janne ke liye aya hai kya ki Mai zindha hoon ya nahi
Daya: Abhi vo mai tume kuch baat batane ke liye. ...
Abhi: kya Batana hai. Bathao.
Daya: kya tum aaj Shaam ko humare ghar(Abhijeet stared at him) Matlab mera ghar aa sakta hoon . Acp sir bhi hoga. Hume kuch baat karni hai. Mere Ek ghabri Lene aunga.
Abhi: Arrest karna hai tho aise dhoka dene ki zaroorat nahi hai. Mai ready hoon. Call karo jisko call karna hai. Tumari Shreya ko ya phir Dcp sir ko . Mai tayar hoon.
Daya felt excruciating pain hearing this.
Daya: Abhi mai . Please tum aisa mat kaho. Vo tum aunga na. ( He don't get words . He was sobbing).
Abhi couldn't tolerate his tears even now. He cannot deny it.
Abhi: Aap kaha hai tho ana hi padega. Aap tho Jane mane officer hoon. Mai Ek ex convict. Mai kaise inkaar karunga. Mai aunga.
Daya: Thank you Abhi.
This time he couldn't resist. He gave him a tight hug. But Abhijeet didn't respond . He stood with a stiff face. But he felt the warmth of the hug after many days. So he couldn't push him aside.
After Daya had gone Abhijeet went into his room . He broken into tears . Numerous precious eye drops fall fr his eyes. If a relation is precious, whatever may happen ,its warmth give us invaluable pleasure . There anything doesn't matters, no hurting words ,no distances not even the time can suppress it.
In the night.
Daya: Sir mai Abhijeet ko bulaya hai yaham.
Acp: kya. tum jante hai na hum abhi usse dur Rahna hai. Ek galat kadam sab barbaad karunga.
Daya: Sir mai chupkar maaji ke ghar gaya tha. Aur vo Meri ghabri ke saath aunga. Mai usko Savdhaan rakhne ko kaha hai. Kisi ke Nazar mai nahi padega. Par hum usse sab Sach Batana hai. Usse aur dukh nahi thadapeka. Ab usme Itna kabiliyat nahi hai. Vo toot jayega..
Soon the Door bell rang.
Daya screamed in excitement: Abhi hoga
But Daya was confused to see the unexpected visitors. It was Shreya her father and mother.
Daya: Aap log.
Shreya mam: Ha vo hum vivah ke bare mai discuss karne aya hai.
Daya: Vivah par Maine vivah ke liye ha nahi kaha.
Mam: Ye kuch batane vale baat hai kya. Sab janta hai tum Shreya se pyaar Karta hai.
Shreya father: beta us din tume baat kiya dha na is bare mai. Akle hafte Meri biwi ka operation hai . Uske pahle ye vivah hone chahiye.
Mam: Beta Shreya ke vivah mera sapna hai. Uski Bachpan se mai uske vivah ke sapna dekhna shuru kiya dha. Ye operation mai keval 50 -50 chances hai. Mai tumare age haath jodta hoon. Mairi akhiri Icha samachkar Pura karo beta.
Daya: mai soch lunga.
Shreya mam: beta ab sochne ki time nahi hai. Hum vivah ki Sab tyari ki. sab mehmaan ko bulaya. Agle somvaar humare ghar mai.
Daya: aur mujhe ab bata rahi hai.
Shreya sat silently. She know it was not the time. But what can he do before the insistence of her sick mother.
Shreya Father: Hum Acp sir se baat kiya dha.
Acp: Daya .Vo tume Batana bhool gaya. Itna tension dha na . ab Abhijeet bhi Bahar hai tho tum sahmat hoga na vivah ke liye.
Daya: mai Abhijeet ko puchkar bataunga.
Shreya Father: Abhijeet aunga kya vivah mai.
Daya: Ha kyom nahi vo mera bhai hai.
Shreya Father: beta hum sab janta hai vo begunah hai. Par log usse Abhi bhi Ek khooni samachta hai. Vo vivah mai aya tho sab uske bare mai bura kahunga aur Shaadi bhi
Daya: Abhi ke bina mai vivah ke liye sahmat nahi hoon.
Acp(taking the matter in the hand): hum ab usse dur Rahna hi uchit hai. Humare plan ki kamiyabi ke liye bhi yahi uchit hoga.
Daya: Tho vivah postpone karo ya phir thod dho. Mera vivah mai koi aur hai ya nahi, pur Abhi hona hai
Abhi hearing everything from doorstep rushed in.
Abhi: kyom nahi karunga tum vivah . Yathi tum bulaya tho bhi mai nahi aunga tumari vivah mai. Aise kya rishta hai humare Bich mai. Tum mere liye ab kuch bhi nahi hai. Mai aise Ek dhokebaaz ko apna Bhai nahi dushman bhi nahi man sakta. Yathi Tum ye vivah nahi karunga tho Kal uska a ilzam bhi mujhpur hoga. Tum bhi yahi chahta hai na. Ye sab sah sah kar thak gaya hoon mai. ab mere zindhagi ko mazaak banna bandh karo. Humare beech ab kuch bhi nahi hai. Tumare liye apne rasta aur mere liye apna. Yathi tumare man mai mere liye dhoda se bhi pyaar hai tho is Shaadi ke liye ha kaho. Mujhe ye sab ilzam se azaad karo.
Abhi went out abruptly. Daya was unable to suppress his emotions. His heart throbbed in pain . Blood from his heart fell down as tears. Some conversations flashed in his memory.
'Daya tumare vivah mai sabse handsome mai hi hoga. Tum se bhi.'
Daya: Abhi tum Tarika se Shaadi karo. Mera intezaar mat karna.
Abhi: Acha Kon kaha mai tumare intezaar kar raha hoon. Tu
mare intezaar kiya tho mai boota ho jaunga.
Daya: Tho tum Shaadi kyom nahi Karta hai.
Abhi: Mere chotte bhai bahut possessive hai. vivah kiya tho mere pyaar divide karne padega aur tume chotte hissa mila tho. Mai sah nahi sakta is liye
Daya: Abhi tum bhi na.
Tumare aur Shreya ke vivah mai sabse Khush mai hoga.
Tumare Shaadi mei mai khub phare nachunga.
On the other hand Abhijeet went outside leaned against the wall and remembered the same conversation. But he want his brother to be married now. His presence will not make any difference. He couldn't tolerate to find his marriage broken again due to him.
Daya didn't want to broke in front of them. So he said
Daya: Aap Jo chahiye vahi karo. mai tayar hoon. Aap log ab please jaiye.
Shreya's family and Acp sir was sitting just as audience not knowing their role. Shreya's family stood up and went as they know it is not the situation to respond. Acp Sir came near Daya and placed his hands on his shoulder.
Abhijeet standing outside became alert of the approaching footsteps and rubbed his tears harshly. He again made an inexpressive face fixing his gaze at a distant point not heeding any attention to the coming people. Shreya's father and mother walk past him without making any eye contact. But she who is already feeling guilty of her act couldn't ignore him.
Shreya: Sir mai apke sath bahut galat kiya. Mujhe us samay Daya Sir ki Chinta ho rahi dhi. Is liye... Mai apse maafi mangna chahta hoon.
Abhijeet (fully composed tone): Mam aap maafi mat mangiye . Mujhe ye maafi shabd se ghruna hai ab. Aur mere dukh ko lekar aap Chinta karne ki zaroorat nahi hai. Mai ab dukhi nahi hoon. Dukh hone ke liye aap log mere apne hona chahiye. Par ab aap sab mere liye ajnabi hai . Aur ajnabi logom ko mere life mai asar daalna nahi Deta hai Mai. Aur Mujhe Apke koi sympathy nahi chahiye.
Shreya: Sir mei.
Abhi: please aap jayiye.
Shreya leave with her eyes welled up with tears.
Daya standing behind them hearing everything composed himself and said.
Daya: Acp sir bula raha hai. Andhar ayiye.
Abhijeet looked at him surprisingly. How has his Daya composed himself after his such harsh words. His eyes telling clearly to the extent to which he was broken. But he learned to hide his emotions. His Daya has grown up. He is now ready to fly on his own wings. Abhijeet felt an unknown satisfaction and at the same time a piercing pain thinking it .
He slowly and silently entered inside.
Time can bring distance between any relations. But it can never break the bonds of true relations. It will persist even if the relations didn't want it to be so.
