Police Station Parking…
Coming out from the police station, Malay and Abhijeet had directly made their way towards the Police station parking where Malay's car was already parked, which he had left there when he came there earlier to meet Raghav and the two had left for Malay's home in Raghav's car…
In The Car…
After getting seated in the car…
Malay turning towards the kid, asked him softly as: Aap theek ho baita…?
Abhijeet nodded slightly with: Jee uncle, thank you…
Malay smiled softly while giving a soft pat on his cheek, receiving a small-composed smile in return, when thinking for a moment…
Malay initiated in balanced tone as: Abhijeet, baita maira aik friend hai, Daya ka bhi therapist hai woh aur mujhy bhi kabhi stress waghaira ho tou main uss sy baat ker laita hoon, he is like a family psychiatrist… (Completed while asking him in polite-care-filled tone as…) Iss liye ager aap chaho tou main aap k liye uss sy appointment ly sakta hoon, hmm…?
Abhijeet asked him in hope-filled tone as: Unn k paas jany sy main theek ho jaon ga kya uncle…?
Malay completely turning towards the kid softly secured his hand in his own while telling him in complete seriousness with: Abhijeet aap already theek ho baita, ager kuchh baatien yaad nahin hain tou kuchh yaad bhi tou hain na…? Jaisy aap ka naam, woh colony, aap ki cheezien… (Added in sweet smile as…) Aur Guitar bjjana… (And then suddenly exclaimed as…) Oho, main ny tou mairy baity ko itna pyara Guitar suunnany ka koe inaam bhi nahin dia na…? (Abhijeet opened his mouth to humbly deny the offer but Malay cut him right there with…) A-haan, no formalities… (And then asked him turning little serious as…) Aur aap ny aik cheez notice ki…? (Abhijeet just shook his head still looking at him confusingly and Malay replied him meaningfully as…) Hum sb life mein kabhi na kabhi, kuchh na kuchh bhool jaty hain and it's Okay, kyun k aksar baar humien woh yaad bhi aa jata hai, kuchh samjhy…?
Abhijeet nodded understandably wearing small smile on his face now as: Jee…
Malay giving him a soft smile, sidewise releasing his hand from the soft grip, sat straight and started the car with: Ab btao jaldi sy kya inaam chahiye aap ko…? Chocolate tou pasand nahin hai aap ko, Aarti ny btaya tha mujhy… (Started suggesting him different items while continuing driving as…) Ice-cream, ya pizza, burger, ya…
Abhijeet finally cut him while shaking his head with: Uncle please, inaam ki koe… (And he stopped there in disappointed smile receiving a warning-filled grunt from the other side, hence changed his statement while telling in a shy-reluctant tone as…) Ice-cream please… (And hurriedly completed as…) Lekin uncle hum woh ghar ja k khaien gy sb k sath please…?
Malay who was smiling already, nodded casually with: Okay done, lekin abhi hum milkshake peien gy, bohut garmi ho rahi hai, aur mujhy aik bohut achhy spot ka ptta hai, jn ki ice-cream aur shakes, dono bohut famous hain, any guesses…?
Understanding well that Malay was not actually asking him instead was trying to engage him with himself in some light convo., hence…
Abhijeet tried to guess as: Ice-cream and shakes spot…?
Malay gave him knitted eyebrows, deepening his little embarrassment-filled-naughty smile, while the latter concentrated back on the driving with: Dessert point… (Abhijeet nodded in sweet smile while Malay continued in same breath while trying to sound as much casual as he could with…) Aur Abhijeet, aaj hum Anup k paas bhi chalien gy baita, main uss sy baat ker lun ga, theek hai…?
Abhijeet getting a little quiet, easily understanding that Malay was talking about his psychiatrist friend he had mentioned earlier, nodded slightly with: Jee uncle, theek hai…
Malay just gave him a soft smile, receiving a silent smile in return as they both knew and understood it well that it was getting difficult for Abhijeet to figure out all by himself, he needed help, a professional help and hence Malay had decided to take him to his friend, of course after discussing it with Abhijeet's doctor and Raghav already…
When feeling the silence was again spreading in the air, Malay glanced at the kid to find him looking outside the window quietly now hence…
Malay called him softly as: Abhijeet…! (And after successfully getting the kid's attention, Malay asked him in light-friendly tone as…) Life ka aik secret share kron aap k sath baita…? (Abhijeet nodded while looking at him in question–filled-little-curiosity and Malay completed in soft smile as…) Stop taking life too seriously kid, it will be over before we even know it…
And he winked at the now smiling kid when…
Abhijeet trying to sound fresh replied as: Wasey aap ki baat suun k maira zehen seedha Sunil ki taraf gaya hai uncle…
Malay laughed lightly with: And here I have always thought that the kid has only inherited my good looks…
Abhijeet chuckled sweetly and they continued their journey in such light talks as Malay had very smoothly engaged the kid with himself and after making a quick stop on the Dessert Point and having milkshake there, they left for home with the ice-cream tubs to enjoy it with their family…
Malay's Home…
Lounge…
After reaching home around 04 of the early evening, Abhijeet and Malay had left towards their respective rooms to get fresh and then returned in the lounge where the all enjoyed the ice-creams in smiles and laughs…
Malay had already talked with Anup after reaching home and seeing Aarti returning from the kitchen after getting freed from there…
Malay told her as: Hum maximum saat bjjy tk ghar wapis aa jaien gy Anup k paas sy…
Aarti nodded casually with: Jee theek hai…
And…
Malay turned towards the kids with: Daya aap bhi chalo gy humary sath Anup k paas…
Daya giving him a shocked look shook his head in denial, receiving a disappointed glare in return to find grumpy Daya turning his face away now and…
Malay told him in straight tone as: Theek hai, main keh daita hoon Anup ko k Daya ko odd times py aana mushkil lagta hai, pehly k jaisy regular sessions rakh ly woh phir sy… (Seeing the latter turning his widely opened eyes towards him, Malay completed calmly as…) Ghussa nahin kerna baad mein aap phir, aur na hi mun bigarna…
Daya feeling helpless knowing he had no other option but to comply stood up and left towards the stairs when…
Sunil said excitedly as: Baba main bhi chalon ga sath mein pelase…
Disappointed smiles came on all three faces while…
Malay asked him disappointedly as: Hum koe sair kerny ja rahy hain jo aap ny bhi chalna hai sath…?
Sunil shrugged with: Tou kya hua Baba, main enjoy ker lun ga, ly chalien na mujhy bhi sath please…
Malay chuckled with: Theek hai bhae, jao phir aap dono bhi aur Daya ko bhi btta daina you guys have only fifteen minutes, humien sarhy panch tk wahan pohanchna hai aur panch yahin bjny waly hain…
Sunil nodded happily and then left from there with Abhijeet with his never ending talks and Malay too left to wear shoes and grab the reports' file of Daya…
As understanding well that going to a psychiatrist would be difficult for Abhijeet considering the circumstances, Malay had decided to take Daya along to, at one side to do his casual session considering his last session was around three months back and on the other side not to make Abhijeet feel uneasy that only he visited the doctor because he had some problem…
Soon the kids had returned in the lounge and then they left to meet Aunp in his clinic…
The Clinic…
In the clinic, Aunp was already briefed about Abhijeet by Malay when he dialled him for taking an appointment hence after making the kid comfortable with him, Anup did a rather thorough session with Abhijeet without forcing him to remember anything, instead suggesting him some ways that could help him to recall his past…
Where Daya's session was more like a follow-up of his previous sessions, examining his progress, mental health, behaviour and things…
And Anup even did a small session with Sunil too on Sunil's own request who was the only one among the three who was really excited for the session and returned from that small room attached with the cabin wearing a big smile on his face after being declared as a joyous and happy spirit to be around by that personality test he had just given…
Sending the kids to the car, Malay stayed behind to discuss the kids' progress which he did not want to do in front of the kids, especially after noticing how observant and thoughtful Abhijeet was, and then after discussing about the kids sidewise paying the fees and thanking Anup, Malay too left the cabin towards their car where the kids were waiting for him still involved in their chatting…
After grabbing their seats in the car, Malay drove off from there, on their way to home grabbing dinner from outside too as a reward for the kids on the feedback he had received from Anup about their sessions… Malay had also told Aarti on call not to prepare dinner they would be bringing it with them…
Malay's Home…
Reaching back at their home and after getting fresh, the family gathered on the dining table as it was past eight already… After enjoying their dinner in light casual talks and wishing good night to each other, they all left towards their respective rooms…
Abhijeet's Room…
After getting free from the night routine and returning from the bathroom, Abhijeet made his way towards the bed when stopping in his path, he looked towards the study-table placed near one of the walls and thinking for a moment, he left in its direction… Reaching near the study-table, Abhijeet grabbed the writing-pad and pen from there as because of Daya, Aarti had made it sure that there was paper-pad and pen present in every room of the home…
Moving back towards the bed now, Abhijeet placed both the things on the bedside table and lie down to sleep while first time in the long time praying from god to let those dreams come so that following Anup's suggestion, instead of fearing them, he could note them down to get some sense out of those blur images and faint voices… Thinking about all that and encouraging and praying from god, he soon fell asleep…
Malay's Room…
On the other side, Aarti had just returned after changing in the nightgown when a soft knock on their room door grabbed their attentions and seeing Malay working on a file…
Aarti told him as: Main daikhti hoon, bchcha ho ga koe…
Malay nodded casually while again moving back to his work and Aarti left to open the door to find Sunil standing there…
Aarti giving him way to come inside, asked him confusingly: Kya hua Sunil, aaj aap ko neend nahin aa rahi kya…?
Sunil, who was already standing in the room now, slightly shook his head with: Neend tou aa rahi hai Maa lekin mujhy Baba sy baat kerni thi zarori…
Aarti asked him with raised eye-brow as: Easi bhi kya zarori baat aa gae achanak k subah tk ka wait nahin ho skka aap sy…?
Sunil repeated himself with: Hai na bs koe…
Aarti shook her head while signalling the kid towards his father who was enjoying their talks still busy with his work as: Ker lo phir kya zarori baat kerni hai aap ny Baba sy…
Sunil told her in a little reluctant tone as: Maa baat thori private hai…
Malay burst out in a loud laugh listening to that while…
Aarti threw a glare at the poor kid with: Arry…! (And she turned her disappointed gaze towards still smiling figure with…) Aur aap kya hassi ja rahy hain, aap ny hi bigara hai issy itna…
Malay shrugged smilingly with: Arry bhae, ab baap-baity ki koe private baat bhi ho sakti hai na, tum kyun jealous ho rahi ho faltu mein…
Aarti frowned with: Bigarien, aur bigarien, main wasey bhi pani lainy ja rahi thi… (Turned towards the kid with…) Mairy wapis aany sy pehly yahan sy ghayeb ho jana aap warna aap baap-baity ka secret secret nahin rahy ga, samjh gaye…?
Sunil nodded like a robot and Aarti jerking her head, left the room still grumbling…
And Sunil instantly darted and sat in front of his father on the bed who was now busy with his file and…
Sunil tried to get his attention as: Baba…!
Malay knowing what kind of secret talk his kid could do didn't feel the need to take his eyes off from the file and responded as: Hmm…?
Sunil feeling offended again urged as: Babaa…!
Malay exhaling a disappointed sigh closed the file and completely turned his attention towards his kid with: Jee bolien…?
Sunil got puzzled for a moment receiving complete attention now with his father's gaze fixed on him hence cleared his throat while trying to make his voice audible as: Woh baat kerni thi zarori…? (Malay nodded like "Okay, carry on" and Sunil inhaling deeply, turning completely serious, added as…) Baba woh, main ny aur Daya ny baat ker li hai already tou wohi bttany aaya tha aap ko k ager hum Goa nahin bhi ja skky iss week mein tou humien koe problem nahin hai, we know aap bohut zada busy hain already… (Malay looked at him with pure love having a small smile playing on his face now where Sunil completed little hesitantly as…) Aap humien baad mein kabhi chhution mein ly jaien gy, hai na…?
Malay chuckled disappointedly with: Achhy sy khush tou hony daity yar… (Sunil gave him a grumpy look while Malay asked him as…) Aur yeh itni samajhdari wali baat apni Maa k samny kerny mein kya problem tha bhae, shaid aap ki reputation hi thori behter ho jati wahan…
Sunil frowned with: Baad mein ptta nahin hum jaien gy k nahin lekin tb ki dantt abhi per jati mujhy…
Malay let out another laugh with: Sach mein samjhdar ho aap kafi…
Sunil nodded agreeably while replying in a little proud tone as: Sou tou main hoon…
Malay shook his head disappointedly with: Aarti aany wali ho gi wapis, ager itny hi samajhdar ho aap tou…
And he deliberately left the sentence incomplete, seeing his kid already standing now when…
Sunil hurriedly approached his father and gave a quick kiss on his cheek with: Good night Baba, sweet dreams…
And he rushed out from the room without even waiting for the reply, leaving his smiling father behind… When seeing Sunil darting up the stairs, Aarti too left towards their room in disappointed smile, grabbing the water bottle in her hand as she deliberately did not interrupt the father-son, giving them time to sort their private matter between them…
Lounge…
Thursday morning rose and after having their breakfast, kids could be seen playing Carom now while Aarti was busy with the house-helper and Malay had left for his job…
Day moved forward like any other casual day when around six of the evening Malay returned home making the kids, who were sitting in the lounge watching an animal documentary on the TV, really happy seeing him returning early than his usual time… After relaxing for a while, he too started enjoying the documentary though TV remote was already provided to him by the kids but he did not change the channel…
Soon his mobile rang and after talking for a minute or so he ended the call and sending a text on Aarti's number, placed the mobile aside…
Minute later, Aarti came in the lounge from the kitchen, where she was busy doing some preparations and…
Aarti told the kids in calm-casual tone as: Chalo bchcho, aap logon ko btaya tha na k guests aa rahy hain, oper jao aap log teeno, shabash…
Sunil asked her confusingly as: Lekin Maa hum ny unhien milna nahin hai kya…?
Aarti replied calmly as: Ager mujhy lgga k aap logon ko bulana hai tou main bula lun gi baita, abhi aap log jao aur lounge bilkul tidy hona chahiye…
The kids nodded casually and after arranging the lounge and grabbing all their things, they left towards upstairs planning what would they play next…
When seeing the kids leaving…
Aarti turned towards Malay with: Pohanchny waly hain woh log…?
Malay nodded slightly with: Dus pandran minute tk…
Aarti nodded understandably and left towards their bedroom to change…
Drawing Room…
Around half an hour later, Aarti, Malay and Raghav could be seen present in their drawing room with two other people when…
Raghav initiated the talk as: Mrs and Mr Satyam thori dair pehly hi pohanchy hain Shillong aur airport sy seedha mujhy milny aa gaye aur main inhien yahan ly aaya…
Malay and Aarti nodded understandably when…
Gayatri asked in a little moisture-filled-impatient tone as: Abhijeet kahan hai…?
Aarti replied her consolingly as: Woh oper bchchon k sath hai…
Gayatri tried impatiently as: Aap ussy bula…
But…
Satyam cut her with: Nahin please… (Softly pressing Gayatri's hand supportively, nodded to the other three with…) I understand…
The three not knowing what to reply, just nodded quietly as they too were helpless, they could not just tell the kid that his parents had returned and he needed to go with them now, especially when he did not remember them…
The situation was awkward and disturbing and both sides needed to be patient and thoughtful to do whatever was best in the interest of the kid without stressing or forcing him to just obey when…
Gayatri said in a little moist tone as: Aap log bhi kya sochty hoon gy k kaisy laparwah maa-baap hain hum jo…
Aarti cut her softly as: Easa kuchh nahin soch rahy hum Gayatri, please aap sambhalien khud ko, Abhijeet theek hai bilkul aur doctor hopeful hain bohut k ussy sb yaad aa jaye ga…
Raghav seconded her with: Bhabhi bilkul theek keh rahi hain Mrs Satyam, ussy dheery dheery yaad aa bhi rahi hain cheezien lekin bs ussy kuchh time chahiye…
Gayatri just nodded silently as the moisture in her throat wasn't allowing her to talk much when…
Satyam initiated as: Mairy father humary sath rehty hain aur unhien dementia hai, Abhijeet bohut zada attached hai apny Daddu sy aur woh unhien k sath rukna chahta tha aur hum bhi Papa ko sirf aik nurse k sath akela nahin chhorna chahty thy, iss liye Abhijeet humary sath shadi py nahin gaya… (Taking a momentary pause, added as…) Humari flight thi Saturday night ki Shillong sy aur Abhijeet k aik friend ki birthday, tabhi humien see-off ker k woh humary jany sy pehly hi chala gaya, ta k time sy wapis aa skky… Suresh ny thori dair ker di aany mein tou uss k aaty hi hum nikal gaye aur jaldi mein ussy bttany ka dihan hi nahin raha hai Abhijeet humary sath nahin ja raha aur ussy lgga woh already gaari mein baitha hua hai, aur Abhijeet, woh… (And inhaling deeply to remain composed he looked towards them gratefully in moist smile with…) Thank you, thank…
But…
Malay cut him softly with: Please Satyam, hum ny easa kuchh nahin kia js k liye aap ko humien thanks kerny ki koe zarorat ho, humary bhi doo baity hain, hum samajhty hain, aur insan hony k naaty aik dosry k kaam aana humara kertavvy bhi hai aur sobhagy bhi…
Satyam smiled at him humbly when…
Gayatri asked them in worry-filled-impatience as: Lekin Abhijeet k sath hua kya tha…? Humara ghar tou uss taraf nahin hai jahan Abhijeet ka accident hua tou woh wahan ker kya raha tha…? Aap ko kuchh ptta chala…?
Raghav nodded with: Jee humari initial investigation complete ho chukki hai aur ab main purry vishvas sy keh sakta hoon k uss raat actually mein hua kya ho ga… (Started explaining with…) Actually js raat Abhijeet k friend ki birthday thi, matlab Saturday ki raat, ussi raat uss society k aik dosry block mein murder aur kidnapping hue thi aur society k main gate tk jany k liye Abhijeet ko uss block sy guzarna hi perna tha… (Gayatri eyes turned widened in shock-filled-worry that in what kind of danger her son was where Satyam had supportively pressed her hand, giving her silent support while Raghav continued as…) Aur hua kuchh easa ho ga k jb Abhijeet uss block sy guzar raha tha tabhi ussy wahan sy kuchh aawazien aaien ya uss ny wahan kuchh easa daikha k woh foren, js ghar mein crime ho raha tha, uss k sath waly ghar k lawn mein chhup gaya aur apny… (Stopping there, repeated himself while looking at Satyam with…) Matlab jo mobile aap ny ussy dia tha, uss mein uss ny woh sb record ker lia… (Appreciated them in small smile with…) And I must say, aap ka baita bohut brave hai jo iss tarhan crime hota daikh ker bhi panic nahin hua aur na hi hero bn'nany ki koshish ki… He acted really sensibly there… (Proud-filled-moist smiles formed on both parents faces while he added as…) Uss ny woh sb record kia aur tb tk wahan chhuppa raha shaid jb tk woh criminals wahan sy chaly nahin gaye aur phir jb uss ny wahan sy nikalny ki koshish ki tou shaid jaldi mein mobile uss k hath sy girr k toot gaya aur ya phir shaid uss ny khud mobile toor dia ta k kisi bhi tarhan ager unn criminals ko uss k wahan hony ka ptta chal bhi gaya tou bhi koe ussy track na ker skky, you know na, aaj kal k detective dramas ny bchcho ko kafi vigilant bnna dia hai… (The parents nodded in agreement while Raghav added as…) Bs phir uss ny woh recording wali memory chip apny joggers mein chhupai aur uss society sy nikal gaya lekin apny ghar k liye nahin, bl k police station k liye… Lekin bchcha hai, iss liye ussy drr bhi ho ga shaid k kahin unn criminals ko uss k barey mein ptta na lg gaya ho aur woh wapis na aa jaien iss liye woh baar baar peichhy daikh raha ho ga, aur gaari waly bchchy already nashy mein thy, iss liye dono aik dosry ko waqt rehty daikh nahin skky aur yeh accident ho gaya…
Satyam nodded agreeably with: Aap theek keh rahy hain sir, aur woh bchchy jn k sath yeh accident hua, unn ka kya ho ga ab…?
Raghav replied in calm tone as: Unn k khilaf drink-and-drive aur hit-and-run k cases file ho chukky hain, kmm-sy-kmm panch sy saat saal k liye ander rahien gy woh ab…
Gayatri asked little hesitantly as: Abhijeet ko bhi aana ho ga kya court mein…?
Raghav slightly shook his head with: Nahin, hopefully uss ki zarorat nahin prry gi… Firstly kyun k Abhijeet underage hai, and secondly humary paas unn bchchon ki blood reports, uss raat k CCTV footage, unn ki car, Abhijeet ki bicycle py uss car ka impact… (And signalled towards Aarti and Malay with…) Eyewitnesses, aur unn charon k confessions, sb mojoud hain… (Tried to assure them as…) Don't worry, I will make sure k ab gaari chalana tou dour, gaari ki taraf daikhny sy pehly bhi woh log soo hazar baar sochien…
Parents were looking quite satisfied with that assurance now when…
Satyam asked little confusingly as: Aap logon ny humien dhonda kaisy…?
Raghav nodded slightly with: Yeh thora mushkil kaam tha, but Abhijeet ny hi iss mein humari help ki jb uss ko apna pura naam yaad aaya… (Started explaining as…) Actually uss society mein jo crime hua Saturday night ko, uss ko bhi hum hi investigate ker rahy hain aur humien already wahan sy aap ka mobile mil chuka tha, aur uss mein mojoud SIM card aap k naam py registered tha, tou initial investigation mein hum ny aap k naam sy aap ka ID card nikalwaya aur uss py jo address registered tha woh Mumbai ka tha… Phir aap k ID card py jo doo aur numbers registered hain, unn py bhi aap sy contact nahin ho paa raha tha, iss liye jb Abhijeet ny apna surname Satyam Satam btaya tou mujhy lgga k shaid aap kisi bhi tarhan uss kidnapping aur murder mein involved hain aur issi liye Abhijeet shaid aap sy drr k bhaag raha tha uss raat… Aur kyun k uss society mein bahir ka koe insan nahin aa sakta jb tk society mein rehny waly khud gate py ja k unhien receive na krien tou yeh baat tou confirm thi k woh crime kia uss ghar mein rehny walon k kisi jan'nany waly ny hi hai aur issi liye mujhy lgga k shaid uss ghar mein Mumbai sy unn k kuchh guests aaye thy aur unhien ny yeh sb kia aur jaisy hi Abhijeet ko moqqa mila, woh apny ghar, yani jahan woh uss samey guest tha, sy bhag nikla apny father sy drr k… (Taking a momentary pause, added as…) I am sorry but humien hr aspect daikhna perta hai…
Satyam, who was already smiling not at-all looking offended with that theory, nodded understandably with: Please sir, I understand… (Explained as…) Actually hum log originally Mumbai sy hi hain aur taqriben saat saal pehly Shillong shift hoye hain… Mumbai mein humara aik pushtaini ghar hai, js ka address mairy ID card py hai… (Raghav nodded understandably while Satyam added as…) Aur dosry doo numbers py contact na ho pany ki wajah tou ab aap jaanty hi hain… (The three nodded understandably while he continued as…) Phir Shillong sy Berlin ki flight lambi bhi kafi hoti hai, more than 24 hours, beech mein transit thy doo lekin humien airport sy nikalny ki permission nahin thi k wahan sy koe SIM card ly k ghar call ker sakty… Aur phir humien easi koe chinta thi bhi nahin, Abhijeet pehly bhi akela raha hua hai iss tarhan, woh reh laita hai aaram sy lekin iss baar bs… (And he stopped trying to collect himself while Gayatri supportively pressed his hand… Satyam nodding to her while giving an assuring smile, inhaled deeply and turned back towards the other three adding as…) Hum log Monday morning ko pohanchy thy Berlin finally lekin saffar ki thakawat itni zada thi k ghar ja k soo gaye aur shaam tk jb dimagh thora kaam kerna shuru kia tou Abhijeet ko call kerny ki koshish ki lekin ho nahin paa rahi thi aur na hi ghar k ya Suresh k number py call ho pai kyun k mosam kharab tha kafi uss din… Phir baad mein hum bhi shadi k kaamon mein busy ho gaye, socha baad mein phir try ker lien gy… (And his voice started dropping while completing as…) Lekin iss sy pehly k hum dobara try kerty, aap k police station sy call aa gae k Abhijeet ka accident…
And he completely stopped there while gulping down a moist breath and wiping off the moisture from his eyes while the other three persons, gave the parents some time to recollect themselves, understanding their condition well…
As yes, Raghav had contacted him the same day's evening Aarti had given him those details about Abhijeet though he kept the information to himself only, thinking to first meet the parents himself alone and then would decide either to bring them to Malay's home or not… And from Satyam, Raghav came to know that Abhijeet was in that society that night to attend the birthday party of one of his friends…
And turned out, the friend's family thought Abhijeet went back home, Suresh thought Abhijeet went with his family while Abhijeet's parents thought Abhijeet was at home safe and sound and in real, no one actually knew where Abhijeet actually was… It was just a huge gap of communication, as neither Abhijeet's friend's family tried to contact him or at his home to make sure the kid reached back home safely nor could Suresh know that Abhijeet hadn't left with his family because he wasn't communicated that information by the parents of the kid, and all that lack of information and communication resulted in such tension, chaos and stress for all…
After around a minute…
Satyam said in composed voice as: Hum log Tuesday ko hi nikalna chahty thy ghar k liye lekin koe flight nahin thi aur first flight Wednesday early morning ki thi jo hum ny li aur aaj yahan hain hum…
Gayatri said in moist tone as: Bhagwan ka shuker hai k Tuesday ko mosam theek ho gaya aur flights dobara chalna shuru ho gaien warna kahin hum wahan phas jaty tou…
Aarti replied her in consoling smile as: Tou bhi chinta ki koe baat nahin thi, Abhijeet apny hi ghar mein hai…
Gayatri gave her a gratified smile though both mothers knew that when it comes to their kids being in any sort of difficult situation then the mother's heart could only find its comfort once she is with her child…
When…
Satyam said in composed tone as: Ab humien chalna chahiye, kafi time…
Gayatri cut him restlessly with: Lekin Abhijeet ko liye baghair kaisy ja sakty hain hum…?
Satyam looked at her calmly with: Abhijeet ko sath ly jany k liye hi aaj humien ussy yahan chhor k jana hai…
Gayatri not ready for it, turned towards Raghav with: Bhai sahab Satyam kya keh rahy hain…? Hum Abhijeet ko aaj sath kyun nahin ly ja sakty…?
Raghav initiated in composed tone as: I am sorry Mrs Satyam lekin easa iss liye possible nahin hai k Abhijeet aap ko nahin pehchanta… (A shadow passed the parents' faces while he added consolingly as…) I know yeh aap logon k liye bhi bohut difficult situation hai lekin Abhijeet iss samey state ki protection mein hai, woh underage hai, iss liye aap logon ko pehly kuchh documents submit kerwany hoon gy jo main ny already Mr Satyam ko btta diye hain, unn sy yeh prove ho ga k aap hi Abhijeet k biological parents aur legal guardians hain, uss k baad hi aap Abhijeet ko apny sath ly ja sakien gy…
Gayatri trying to remain composed, asked him as: Aur iss sb mein kitna time lg jaye ga bhai sahab…?
Raghav replied as: Main koshish kron ga jitni jaldi ho skky lekin kuchh din lggien gy… And I will recommend k aap inn dinon ko Abhijeet ko apny sath comfortable kerny mein istemal krien ta k aap k sath jana uss ki majbori nahin, uss ki marzi ho…
Abhijeet's parents nodded in hope-filled-silence, there was nothing else they could do at the moment instead of praying and doing what was best for their child…
