Malay's Home…
Drawing Room…
The elders were sitting in the drawing room in silence when…
Satyam addressed Raghav as: Sir jo bhi documents aap ny kahy hain, main kal tk aap ko submit kerwa dun ga sb… (Raghav nodded understandably while Satyam stood up with…) Ab humien chalna…
But…
Malay, who too was standing now like others, cut him with: Please Satyam, aap log dinner kiye baghair nahin jaien gy…
Satyam was about to deny but…
Aarti seconded Malay with: Malay theek keh rahy hain bhai sahab… (Looked towards Gayatri in small smile with…) Aur humary ghar ka tradition hai, hum log khana sb ekathy khaty hain… (Both parents got what she was trying to say while she completed as…) Please baith jaien aap log, please…
Malay also seconded her and soon the parents hesitantly grabbed their seats again in the hope to see their son on the dinner table, followed by Malay and Raghav too while…
Aarti, who was still standing, told them in light smile as: Main dinner ki taiyari daikhti hoon…
Malay nodded to her when…
Gayatri again stood up with: Main bhi aap ki help kerwa daiti hoon… (Aarti tried to deny humbly but Gayatri requested again as…) Please, wasey bhi main yahan inn logon k dermain baith k kya kron gi…
Aarti smiled softly and nodded to her with: Keh tou aap bilkul theek rahi hain, aa jaien phir aap bhi, hum apni baatien kerty hain…
Gayatri smiled humbly and soon both the ladies left the drawing room, leaving the gentlemen with their own talks who soon got busy in discussing world politics and sports, trying to discuss about something else…
Soon after serving the dinner on the dining-table, Aarti left to call the kids while on her way, requesting Malay in private to add two more chairs on the dining-table to make room for their new friends as their dining-table-set was with six chairs…
Sunil's Room…
Coming upstairs Aarti left inside Sunil's room seeing the kids sitting there busy playing Monopoly, when seeing her coming the kids too had turned their attentions towards her and…
Aarti told them in soft smile as: Chalo bchchon, baqi game baad mein continue ker laina, pehly dinner ker lo neechy aa k aur dinner py guests bhi hoon gy humary sath tou koe shirarat nahin, Okay…? (All three heads nodded in agreement, deepening Aarti's smile, who concluded as…) Aa jao jaldi sy phir, shabash…
And receiving another round of agreed nods from the kids' side, Aarti left from there in small smile while the kids too stood up to first wash their hands and then join their family on the dinner-table…
Dining Room…
Elders had grabbed their seats on the dinner-table now where Mrs and Mr Satyam had already talked between them to try their best to remain composed and not to give any overwhelming reaction after seeing their son as that could confuse or startle the kid, when soon the kids entered in the dining room, whispering and smiling while talking among themselves and they stopped seeing themselves now present in the dining room…
Mrs and Mr Satyam felt strange kind of sooth-filled-pain seeing their son standing in front of them and though there were few faded bruises present on his body and the bandage was tied round his head but seeing their kid standing on his feet and smiling and talking with his friends was quite relieving for the parents… Gayatri was going to stand when Satyam quietly grabbed her hand and the two conversed through eyes resulted Gayatri slowly calmed down and kept sitting there, trying to compose her emotions…
Including Abhijeet, Aarti introduced the kids to Mrs and Mr Satyam and then without mentioning their names, them, as their friends, to the kids… The kids greeted the elders with Namasty who responded in composed smiles and soon they all grabbed their seats around the dinner-table…
During dinner in which elders were really careful not to take Abhijeet's parents' names, Abhijeet was feeling that the "Guests" were looking at him but whenever he looked towards them, to catch them, they were always looking at their dinner plates or busy talking with elders, making Abhijeet more confused… As looking at those two "new" faces Abhijeet was already feeling little restless and much confused but couldn't understand why he was feeling that way…
After the dinner got over, they all went in the lounge with Aarti suggesting the kids to sit with them for awhile and the elders knew it was mainly because of Abhijeet, so that he could spend some more time with his parents, even though he didn't recognize them…
After sitting for some time, Mrs and Mr Satyam heavy heartedly took their leave, leaving their kid behind with the hope that he would soon be with them… Where unknown to even himself, Abhijeet kept standing there on the doorstep of the porch, seeing those two figures slowly moving out from his sight and he absent-mindedly lightly touched his forehead where Gayatri had stamped a soft kiss before leaving… She bid goodbye to the other two kids the same way too but with Abhijeet, it felt different to both mother and son…
Abhijeet was standing there thinking about nothing when came back in present feeling a hand spread on his head and he looked in the direction to find Raghav standing there, who had just returned after seeing off Abhijeet's parents and…
Raghav asked him in soft smile as: Kya hua baita, yahan kyun khary ho aap…?
Abhijeet trying to look composed slightly shook his head with: Nahin uncle, kuchh nahin, bs yunhi…
Raghav with deepening smile gave an encouraging pat on his shoulder with: Aao chalo, ander chalien…
Abhijeet nodded slightly and the two left inside the home again…
When seeing Sunil and Daya were busy in clearing the dining-table, Abhijeet too left towards them while Raghav left towards the lounge…
Kitchen…
Soon Aarti entered in the kitchen to find the kids busy in their endless talks sidewise washing the utensils while dividing the work among them as Sunil was busy in soaping the dishes, Abhijeet was washing them and Daya after drying them was placing them on the utensil stand… Aarti thinking to leave them alone was the best option did not interrupt them and herself got busy in cooking tea for the elders…
A while later Aarti leaving her teacup on the kitchen counter placed the other two teacups on the tray and turning towards the kids…
Aarti called out softly as: Daya, baita yeh tray lo aur study mein dy aao jaldi sy please…
Daya nodded in reply and leaving the napkin, he was using to dry the washed dishes, on the counter he approached Aarti and grabbing the tray from her, left towards the study room…
Aarti turned towards the other two kids with: Chalo bchchon, aap dono bhi bs kro ab, hath dho lo apny shabash… Aur Abhijeet, baita aap aa k apni medicines ly lo jaldi sy…
Abhijeet nodded and after washing his hands, grabbed a seat on the kitchen chair and took his medicines with a glass of milk… When seeing Daya returning in the kitchen now, Aarti in soft smile thanked the kids for their contribution and then sent them in their rooms suggesting them to first take shower and then go to sleep and she herself left towards the lounge, grabbing her teacup with her…
Study Room…
On the other side, Malay and Raghav were now sitting in the study room busy taking their tea and having light chitchat when…
Malay asked him in concerned tone as: Raghav, yar Abhijeet k parents ko zada din wait kerna prry ga kya ussy sath ly jany k liye…?
Raghav nodded slightly with: Ho sakta hai… (Explained him as…) Unn logon ko Abhijeet py apni guardianship prove kerny k sath sath yeh bhi explain kerna ho ga k unhon ny uss ki missing complaint file kyun nahin ki kahin aur phir apny Germany jany aur wapis aany k evidences bhi dainy hoon gy… Hum pehly woh sb documents verify krien gy, phir unhien court mein submit kerwaien gy uss k baad court humien order kry gi k hum Abhijeet ko uss k parents k hawaly ker dien aur phir hi woh ussy apny sath ly ja skkien gy… Ager Abhijeet ki memory effect na hue hoti tou itni precautions shaid hum na laity lekin ab humien yeh sb kerna ho ga… (Malay nodded understandably while Raghav added as…) Aagy weekend bhi aa raha hai, courts bnd hoon gi but I will try k hum Monday tk documents waghaira sb verify ker chukky hoon so that sirf court k orders milna reh jaien…
Malay nodded thoughtfully with: Yar main kuchh soch raha tha…
Raghav asked him confusingly as: Kya…?
Malay looked at him with: Daikho, humien tou court sy already permission mil gae hai Abhijeet ko Goa ly jany ki tou hum easa kyun na ker lien k hum log aur uss k parents, sb mil k Goa chalien, aik taraf outing ho jaye gi, aur dosra Mrs aur Mr Satyam apny baity k paas bhi reh skien gy aur iss tarhan sy shaid woh Abhijeet k sath apna bond bhi redevelop ker skien ta k court k orders aany k baad Abhijeet ko koe problem na ho unn k sath jany mein…
Raghav nodded agreeably with: Bohut achha idea hai yeh Malay aur main ny daikha hai k Abhijeet unn k jany py disturb hua hai, ussy iss samey wajah samajh nahin aa rahi lekin apny parents ko jb baar baar apny samny daikhy ga tou chances hain k uss ki memory py bhi positive effect ho iss ka…
Malay nodded in hope and agreement with: Phir tum baat ker laina Satyam sy, ager unhien koe problem nahin ho ga tou hum kal hi chalien gy…
Raghav nodded with: Hmm, done…
And soon their talks again went towards other casual topics… After staying for some more time, Raghav too left towards his home and soon all the residents of the home were enjoying their deep sleeps in their respective rooms…
Lounge…
Friday morning rose and Aarti and the kids could be seen sitting in the lounge where Daya and Sunil were looking really excited while Abhijeet was looking little tensed and hesitant but the kids were trying their best to relax him and involve him with themselves… The packed travelling bags of the family were already placed in the lounge and they were now waiting for Malay who had gone to his office to give two days leave application because they were going to Goa today…
Journey…
Soon after Malay returned, they all left for Goa in cheers and smiles… As per the plan, on the airport, Abhijeet's parents had joined them too and they boarded their flight for Kolkata from where they boarded another flight for Goa…
Goa…
Mamta Foundation…
After around ten long hours after they had left the home for Goa, they were now standing in front of a big building having a big board of "Mamta Foundation" hanging there…
Abhijeet and his parents got little confused seeing the board but no one asked any query and they entered the building after the security guard opened the gate for them, recognizing them without any effort…
Malay greeted him in small smile as: Kaisy ho bhae Suraj bhaiya…?
Suraj smiled whole-heartedly with: Bhagwan ki brri kirpya hai babu jee, aap kaisy ho…?
Malay nodded in soft smile with: Hum bhi theek hain bilkul… Uncle hain office mein hi…?
Suraj nodded with: Jee, lekin iss samey unn sy kuchh log milny aaye hoye hain…
Malay nodded understandably with: Theek hai phir hum ghar jaaty hain…
Suraj nodded agreeably and Malay left with the family towards the backside of the building where a small residence was present…
Residence…
Seeing them coming, the helper of the home warmly greeted them in the home as she recognized the family and after they all settled in the lounge, the house-helper served them with tea and snacks…
When…
Aarti lightly squeezed Daya in a side-hug with: Daya kya ho gaya hai bhae, yahan tk aa gaye hain na, uncle sy bhi mil lien gy, aa jaien gy uncle abhi thori dair mein…
Daya just gave her a grumpy look when…
Malay told him as: Daya aap ny Abhijeet ko apny nanu ka ghar nahin dikhana kya, hmm…?
Daya nodded happily and instantly stood up and looked towards Abhijeet, who too followed and soon all three kids left the lounge to visit the house and the centre where…
Satyam asked little confusingly as: Daya k nanu…? I mean yeh tou orphanage hai na shaid, bahir ground mein bchchy bhi khail rahy thy itny sarey…?
Malay nodded with: Jee, yeh centre Raghuvendra uncle chalaty hain, Daya k nanu hain woh… Bchchon sy shuru sy hi bohut lggao raha hai unhien, Daya k parents, matlab mairy chhoty bhai aur uss ki patni k murder k baad unhon ny apni takleef kmm kerny ka yeh tariqa dhonda aur job sy jaldi retirement ly k yeh orphanage khol lia…
Abhijeet's parents nodded admiringly though little confused and…
Satyam asked him again as: Daya k parents ka murder…?
Malay nodded and in composed tone narrated him the whole, listening to that the two consoled them and gave them their condolences which they both received in composed smiles and soon their conversations moved towards some light talks… Few minutes have passed when they turned their attentions seeing Raghuvendra sir entering in the lounge and they stood up to greet him where…
Raghuvendra sir while meeting with Malay: Kya yar, btana tou chahiye tha aany sy pehly, ab wait kerna per gaya na…
Malay chuckled with: Wait kerny sy kya hota hai uncle, aur pehly btta daity tou surprise kaisy daity…
Raghuvendra sir chuckled lightly and after meeting with the others, they all grabbed their seats again when after looking around…
Raghuvendra sir asked them as: Yeh itni khamoshi kaisy hai aaj, bchchy kahan gaye sb…?
Aarti replied in light smile as: Woh Abhijeet ko tour kerwany gaye hain centre ka…
Raghuvendra sir nodded like "Oh, right…" and elders got engaged in their own talks when after some time, kids returned in the lounge and seeing his nanu there, Daya flew towards him and nearly jumped in his lap…
Raghuvendra sir chuckled lovingly and squeezed him tightly in his arms with: Main ny bhi bohut miss kia mairy baity ko…
And stamping a soft kiss on his forehead, Raghuvendra sir stood up and after greeting Sunil the same way…
Raghuvendra sir turned towards the little nervous kid with: Tou aap hain the smart kid, jinhon ny case solve kerny mein police ki bhi help ki aur aik k baad aik board exams bhi top kiye, hmm… (Abhijeet gave him a nervous-shy smile while his parents were smiling with happiness-filled-proud and cupping his face, Raghuvendra sir placed a soft kiss on his forehead with…) Welcome here baita, aap sy mil k bohut achha lgga…
Abhijeet replied in soft-shy tone as: Thank you uncle and same here…
Raghuvendra sir chuckled and gave a light pat on his shoulder and soon they all grabbed their seats again when…
Raghuvendra sir announced as: Aap log wasey aaye bohut achhy din py hain, abhi main humary donors k sath meeting mein tha, mairy bchchon k liye aik bohut brri grant issue ker k gaye hain woh, issi khushi mein kal hum yahan party krien gy achhi si…
The elders greeted him on his success while the kids were happy listening about the party and for some more time, they remained busy in such light chatting and then Malay showed Abhijeet's parents their room where the kids were sharing the same room… After getting fresh they returned in the lounge when the house-helper told them that the meal was served, so they left towards the dining hall and after having their meal in light chatting, they all returned in their assigned rooms and soon fell on the beds, falling asleep…
Next day with the centre's kids and workers, they too remained busy in making arrangements for the party and had loads of fun in the evening…
Abhijeet's parents were trying their best to make the most of these days and were casually communicating with Abhijeet on casual random topics and slowly the blur images in Abhijeet's mind were clearing but they were slow… Whenever his parents were around he feels more happy and energetic but whenever they were not, he missed them and looked for them, not understanding why…
On Sunday they left the centre for their homes, after profusely thanking Raghuvendra sir for making their stay so joyful and promising him that they would visit again whenever they could…
Shillong…
They reached back home on Sunday's evening and from airport, Abhijeet's parents left towards their home with an open invitation from Aarti and Malay's side that they were always welcome in their home, for which they thanked them gratefully while Malay with the family left towards their home…
Malay's Home…
Reaching at the home, they all left towards their respective rooms to take shower and get fresh… Around half an hour later, Daya entered in the kitchen to find the house-helper busy in preparing dinner when noticing him…
Kamla asked him as: Daya, baita pani pei k sb ko bula lo dinner k liye, main table py lggany lggi hoon…
Daya nodded in reply and soon left from there to call everyone for the dinner…
Abhijeet's Room…
Coming upstairs, after telling Sunil to go down stairs, Daya left towards Abhijeet's room and giving a soft knock on his room's opened door, he entered inside to find Abhijeet standing near the room's window, who too had turned listening to the door knock and…
Abhijeet asked him as: Kya hua Daya…? (And reading his gestures, Abhijeet asked again as…) Dinner k liye bula rahy hain…? (And receiving a nod from the other side, Abhijeet nodded him back with…) Aa jao, chalien…
But Daya stopped him and signalling towards Abhijeet's face gestured him a question and understanding what he was asking…
Abhijeet slightly shook his head with: Kuchh nahin hua mujhy Daya, main theek hoon… (But Daya looked persistent and was not buying it… Abhijeet sighed and looked at him with…) I am missing them, woh jo doo guests thy, I am missing them… (And moving from there, he sat on the bed while adding quietly as…) Ptta nahin kyun Daya lekin mujhy easa feel ho raha tha jaisy main unhien jaanta hoon, jaisy woh… (Jerking his head, looked at Daya helplessly with…) Lekin ager maira unn sy koe rishta hota tou woh mujhy chhor k kyun jaaty, hai na…?
Daya who was sitting beside him now, not knowing what to say just pressed his shoulder when…
Abhijeet showed him the writing-pad with: Yeh daikho, yeh address… Yeh main ny likha hai, ptta nahin kaisy aur main shart lgga k keh sakta hoon k yeh wohi address hai jo mujhy Raghav uncle ny hospital mein dikhaya tha lekin main ny tou woh address itny ghour sy daikha bhi nahin tha, phir mujhy kaisy yaad reh gaya woh, ya main unn dono ko miss kyun ker raha hoon…
And few words echoed in Abhijeet's ears as, "He cannot lie… So my word of advice, ask him anything only if you really want a real answer…" and getting an idea Abhijeet looked towards Daya, he of course did not want to use Daya's health problem for his benefit but he really needed his help to know what was going on with him and…
Abhijeet asked him softly as: Daya tum mairi help kro gy please, ager main tum sy kuchh pouchhon tou…? (Daya nodded slightly while looking at him in question so Abhijeet asked him in balanced tone as…) Tumhien ptta hai kya k woh dono guests koun thy…?
And Abhijeet's all hopes come to a dead-end seeing Daya shook his head as the guests were not introduced as Abhijeet's parents to the kids and the elders hadn't mentioned their names once in front of the kids so they couldn't know when Abhijeet looked towards Daya seeing him grabbing the writing-pad from him and signalling towards the address, Daya nodded to Abhijeet and getting his hope back…
Abhijeet asked him little excitedly as: Tumhien iss address ka ptta hai…? (And receiving another nod in reply, Abhijeet asked him as…) Ks jagah ka address hai yeh Daya…? (Daya pointed towards Abhijeet and gestured a home and understanding his gestures, Abhijeet asked him in surprised tone as…) Mairy ghar ka address hai yeh…?! (And receiving another nod from his side, Abhijeet pointed towards the name written there, asked him as…) Aur yeh naam, iss naam ka ptta hai kya tumhien…? (Daya nodded again and reading him, Abhijeet whispered in surprise-filled-sooth as…) Mairi Mummy ka naam hai yeh, Gayatri…
And he chuckled on his own when they both turned their attentions towards the door listening to…
Sunil entering in the room as: Tum dono ab tk yahan baithy ho…? Daya tumhien Abhijeet ko bulany k liye bhaija tha na yar aur tum dono baatien kerny… (And seeing them sitting there grabbing the writing-pad, Sunil asked them confusingly as…) Yeh kya ker rahy ho tum dono…?
Daya showed him the writing-pad and signalled him towards Abhijeet and after reading the address and the name written on the page…
Sunil turned towards Abhijeet in surprise with: Yeh dono cheezien tum ny likhi hain, matlab tumhien cheezien yaad aa rahi hain…?
Abhijeet nodded slightly while standing with: Hmm aur mujhy lg raha hai k woh jo doo guests thy, woh mairy parents hain shaid… Tum ny unhien pehly daikha hai kya kabhi auntie, uncle k sath…?
Sunil slightly shook his head with: Nahin, Maa Baba ny kaha unn k naye friends hain… (Told him excitedly as…) Tum abhi dinner-table py pouchh laina Maa Baba sy, aao chalien…
Abhijeet nodded and the three left towards the dining-room…
Dining-Room…
From past few minutes they all were having their dinner in light casual talks when suddenly…
Sunil chirped as: Maa Baba aap ko ptta hai Abhijeet ko apny ghar ka address aur auntie ka naam yaad aa gaya hai…
Aarti and Malay looked at Abhijeet in surprise who nodded in light smile and…
Abhijeet asked in hope-filled-balanced tone as: Woh dono guests, mm-mairy parents hain na woh…? (Aarti and Malay exchanged a glance but that silence was enough for Abhijeet to have his answer so he asked little desperately as…) Phir woh log mujhy sath kyun nahin ly k gaye apny…?
Aarti completely turning her attention towards the kid, softly squeezed him in a side-hug with: Bohut jald ly k jaien gy woh aap ko apny sath bs aik baar unhien court sy permission mil jaye…
Abhijeet asked her confusingly as: Court sy, kyun…?
Inhaling deeply, Malay explained the whole situation to the kid, knowing hiding it more wasn't needed anymore…
Abhijeet listened to all that carefully and nodded understandably with: Oh, lekin unhon ny mujhy btaya kyun nahin kuchh…?
Aarti replied him softly as: Aap k doctors k according aap jitna zada apny brain ko active rakho gy utna aap k liye cheezien recall kerna easy ho ga iss liye hum chahty thy k aap ko khud sy yaad aaye, bina kisi ki help k and it looks like, it did work…
Abhijeet nodded in small smile, feeling relaxed and happy that he would soon be with his parents and family and soon their conversation went on other light topics…
Days were coming and going like usual and Abhijeet was still living with them though his parents were frequently visiting him, especially after coming to know that Abhijeet knew their relation with him… Abhijeet's doctors were also satisfied with Abhijeet's progress and were very hopeful and positive that once Abhijeet returned to his home, in his own atmosphere, it would be easier for him to remember things on his own… Abhijeet's parents were now in regular contact with his doctors and even had visited them once with Abhijeet and Raghav…
Sunil's college and Daya's classes were also started and the hours in which Daya and Sunil were studying, to save Abhijeet from boredom, Aarti had opted for an option which Abhijeet happily accepted that started teaching Daya… Abhijeet had just got freed from the exams himself so his concepts were quite fresh and while teaching Daya, unknowingly sometimes he recalls any class discussion or example he was taught in his college which was another benefit of teaching Daya apart from saving himself from boredom…
Daya's Classroom…
It was around 01 of the Thursday noon and Daya and Abhijeet could be seen sitting in Daya's classroom where Abhijeet was teaching Daya a Physics numerical concept but Daya was not looking like learning it today when finally losing his patience a little…
Abhijeet turned towards him heatedly as: Daya kya masla hai, itna easy concept hai, samajh kyun nahin aa raha tumhien…?
Daya gave him a grumpy look and signalled him towards the wall clock, Abhijeet turned and getting what he was trying to communicate…
Abhijeet looked at him burningly as: Tumhara dimagh bhi kya ghari ki tarhan chalta hai k jaisy hi aik bjj gaya, tumhary dimagh k cell khatam ho gaye…? (Daya nodded for the sake of nod and was going to close the register and book when Abhijeet placed his hand on both with…) Bilkul nahin, chahy aik bjjy, chahy aik soo, jb tk tum yeh concept samajh k mujhy yeh numerical khud sy ker k nahin dikha doo gy tumhien aaj chhutti nahin mily gi bilkul… (Daya's eyes already popped out and he looked at him arguably and Abhijeet glared at him with…) Jitni dair lrrny mein lggao gy na, utna hi time zada lggy ga kyun k main nahin maanon ga…
Daya made an extremely frustrated face and giving a bechara look to the wall clock again grabbed his ink-pan while turning his attention towards the book… Abhijeet explained him the whole concept again, a little more thoroughly seeing Daya was actually paying attention this time and hence was questioning too and then Abhijeet left Daya alone to solve the numerical, based on the same concept, on his own…
Soon after solving the numerical, Daya showed Abhijeet the register who checked the solution and…
Abhijeet praised the latter as: Daikha, aa gaya na samajh, easy concept tha na…? (And as a reply, Daya who was still furious, showed tongue on Abhijeet's face to voice his displeasure… Abhijeet laughed lightly with…) Tum pagal ho bilkul Daya… (Daya just jerked his head busy in closing his bag now while Abhijeet added as…) Aur main ny tou sirf pandran minute extra bithaya hai tumhien, colleges mein tou kabhi kabhi teachers ghanta ghanta extra bitha laity hain… (Daya stopping there looked at him in shock and Abhijeet nodded in assurance with…) Sach…
Daya calming down just nodded and stood up to place his bag in the almirah before Abhijeet changed his mind and made him sit there for another forty-five minutes…
When seeing him returning…
Abhijeet who was still sitting, asked him as: Daya tum sy aik baat pouchhon…? (Daya looked at the wall clock and then at him doubtfully when understanding what he was thinking, Abhijeet sighed with…) Arry bhae, aur perhany ka nahin pouchhon ga, promise…
Daya getting relaxed, shrugged and while sitting in front of him, nodded to him while…
Abhijeet, who was noticing from day one that Daya used to write to communicate what he couldn't through his gestures, asked him as: Daya tum ny sign language seekhny k barey mein socha hai kya kabhi…? (Daya getting quiet looked at him for few moments and then shook his head and was going to stand when Abhijeet clutched his wrist with…) Rukko yar, baat tou puri suno… (Daya kept looking at him quietly while Abhijeet initiated again in balanced tone as…) Daya main tumhien disturb ya hurt nahin kerna chahta yar and I am sorry ager tumhien easa kuchh bhi lgga hai tou… (Tried to convince him softly as…) Duniya bohut brri hai Daya aur iss mein hum sb k liye jagah hai… Bohut achhy achhy log hain bahir Daya aur tumhien iss ghar sy bahir naye dost bnnany ki zarorat hai yar… Tum pehly mairy sath bhi tou kitny reluctant thy lekin jb humari dosti ho gae tou tumhien achha lgga na k humari dosti ho gae, hmm…? (Daya nodded slightly while Abhijeet added as…) Tum aik baar sign language seekh k daikho Daya, tum aik taraf naye logon sy bhi milo gy tou tum mein confidence aaye ga aur dosri taraf tumhary liye apni baat communicate kerna bohut easy ho jaye ga… Aur uncle, auntie aur Sunil ko bhi bohut achha lggy ga tumhara sign language seekhna… (And taking a momentary pause to observe him and seeing him reluctant, he added smilingly as…) And guess what…! (Daya kept looking at him in silence while Abhijeet told him in soft smile as…) Main aur Sunil bhi tumhary sath seekhien gy sign language… (Daya looked at him in surprise while Abhijeet completed cutely as…) Because you are not so special that we let you learn some new skill alone…
Daya smiled broadly and nodded to him wholeheartedly and …
Abhijeet smiled joyfully as: Yeh hue hai baat, ab hum mil k seekhien gy sign language… (And he stood up with…) Aao auntie ko btta k aaien jaldi sy…
Daya nodded happily and stood up and the two turned towards the door when stopped seeing Aarti standing on the door step who came there to check on the kids when no-one came from there, past one pm and now had heard all…
Aarti opened her arms and Daya ran in those while Aarti tightly squeezed him lovingly and looked towards Abhijeet in moist smile and mouthed a "Thank you" who nodded in humble smile… As Malay and family also wanted for Daya to learn sign-language but seeing how much he had conquered and how difficult that was for him, they had never pushed him to learn more, being contended and happy that he could communicate with them effortlessly but today seeing Abhijeet had convinced him so easily, Aarti was feeling happy and much hopeful for the kid's future…
When listening to Sunil's voice coming towards them…
Aarti smoothly separated the kid with: Jao aur jaldi sy ja k Sunil ko bhi btao yeh good news…
Daya nodded happily and left from there while Aarti turned her attention towards the other kid standing there and approaching him…
Aarti smoothly held him in a tight-motherly hug and stamped a soft kiss on his head with: Khush raho hamesha baita…
Abhijeet smiled sweetly with: Thank you auntie…
Aarti patted his back smilingly and separating from the hug, the two too left towards the lounge…
Dining Room…
At night on the dinner table they shared the news about Daya willing to learn sign-language to Malay too who got really happy listening to that and…
Malay turned towards Abhijeet with: Thank you baita… (Abhijeet smiled humbly while Malay added as…) Aur ab mairy paas bhi aap k liye aik good news hai… (Abhijeet looked at him curiously and he completed as…) Kal aap k parents aap ko milny nahin, bl k aap ko sath ly jany k liye aaien gy…
Abhijeet beamed in happiness and…
Sunil exclaimed excitedly as: Matlab court ny permission dy di uncle auntie ko…? (Malay nodded in soft smile while Sunil turned towards smiling Abhijeet with…) Congratulations dost, but I will miss you…
Abhijeet smiled lightly with: Main bhi aap sb ko bohut miss kron ga…
Aarti told them in disappointed smile with: Koe kisi ko miss nahin kry ga bilkul, kyun k hum milty rahien gy aur ab tou aap teenon bchchon ka school bhi aik hi ho ga, wahan tou rooz hi milo gy…
The kids got happy again realizing that now and they remained busy in such casual light talks…
Lounge…
Friday's evening arrived and Raghav and Abhijeet's and Malay's families were sitting in the lounge enjoying casual conversation while having light tea when…
Satyam glanced over his wristwatch's dial with: Ab humien chalna chahiye…
Malay tried to stop them with: Dinner tou…
But…
Satyam cut him humbly with: Bohut shukriya Malay lekin aaj nahin please… Actually Suresh ny kahin jana hai aaj tou hum Baba ko akela nahin chhor sakty ghar py…
Malay nodded understandably with: Oh, sahi sahi…
And they all too stood up seeing Satyam standing when Daya signalled them to wait and ran upstairs, leaving them wondering what happened to him suddenly…
Porch…
Downstairs they left towards the porch deciding to wait for Daya outside when…
Sunil turned towards Abhijeet cutely with: Zada miss na kerna mujhy, kal sign-language class mein phir sy milien gy…
Abhijeet chuckled softly with: Hmm theek hai, reminder k liye thank you…
Sunil chuckled lightly and the same moment they noticed Daya coming towards them who directly approached Abhijeet and forwarded a beautiful hand-made card towards him and…
Abhijeet smiled whole-heartedly and received that with: Thank you…
And he was going to open it when Daya stopped him, signalling him to open it later but too curious Sunil denied that idea and…
Sunil trying to take a peek, told them as: Baad mein nahin, abhi… Mujhy bhi tou daikhna hai card k ander kya likha hai iss khali akhrot ny…
Daya ignoring the ill-mannered one's comment shook his head to somehow stop Abhijeet but Abhijeet had already opened the card and the inside contents were now visible to both Sunil and Abhijeet and…
Sunil nodded casually as: Oh, Daya ny tumhary liye poem likhi hai… (And as soon as he heard his own words, he exclaimed loudly as…) Daya ny tumhary liye poem likhi hai… (And he turned his blazing gaze towards the poor soul with…) Main peichhly soolan saal sy chilla raha hoon aur mairy liye aik lafz nahin likha gaya tum sy aur Abhijeet k liye puri poem likh di… (Lunged at him with…) Main seedha kerta hoon tumhien…
But Daya was quick enough to rush away already with Sunil behind him…
Abhijeet and the elders shared a sweet laugh and soon bidding bye to them and thanking them for their hospitality, Abhijeet and his parents left for their home…
In the car…
Gayatri was sitting on the passenger seat and she looked at her son, in the back-view mirror, to find him waving bye to the family and the kids who had returned too and were waving him back in smiles…
Soon they both moved out from each other's visions and Abhijeet moved back on the seat when his eyes caught his mother's eyes and he gave her an assuring smile…
Gayatri turning towards her son, asked him caringly as: Theek ho aap baita…?
Abhijeet nodded slightly with: Jee… (And taking a momentary pause, completed as…) Mummy…
Gayatri smiled broadly and grabbing his hand, placed a soft kiss on his hand with: Maira pyara baita… (Looking at him tried to reassure him with…) Jaldi sb theek ho jaye ga, hmm…?
Abhijeet nodded in assurance with: Jee… (And completed sweetly with…) Aur theek hona start bhi ho gaya hai… (Turned his gaze towards his father with…) Hai na Papa…?
Satyam smiled whole-heartedly with: Bilkul Papa ki jaan… (Turned towards Gayatri with…) Kehta nahin hoon main hamesha aap sy k humara baita bohut samajhdar hai…
Gayatri nodded overwhelmingly and giving a soft-love-filled pat on Abhijeet's cheek, she moved back on her seat sidewise releasing Abhijeet's hand from her soft grip…
Abhijeet still smiling moved back and opened the card again to read the poem which he couldn't earlier… And he read the poem as:
Koe Tum Sy Pouchhy Koun Hoon Main,
Tum Keh Daina Koe Khas Nahin…
Ek Dost Hai Kachcha Pakka Sa,
Ek Jhoot Hai Aadha Sachcha Sa…
Ek Khawab Aadhora Pura Sa,
Ek Phool Rookha Sookha Sa…
Ek Apna Hai Un-Daikha Sa,
Ek Rishta Hai Un-Jana Sa,
Haqeeqat Mein Afsaana Sa…
Kuchh Pagal Sa, Deewana Sa,
Bs Ek Bahana Achha Sa…
Jeevan Ka Easa Saathi Hai,
Jo Dour Ho Tou Kuchh Paas Nahin…
Koe Tum Sy Pouchhy Koun Hoon Main,
Tum Keh Daina Koe Khas Nahin…
From someone,
"Not So Special"…
And Abhijeet chuckled lovingly and closing the card, closed his eyes too and rested his head on the headrest with a soft whisper of "Pagal"…
Love, Relationship And Friendship Goes Everywhere,
Whether It Is Invited Or Uninvited,
But It Stays Only There Where It Is Well Respected…
