"Daya?" A shrill, rather hesitant call made him to peep a little from above his knees.

He saw her and something again cracked in him. Yes, she was Shreya. She was sad and worried for her husband who couldn't ever be what she imagined.

"K.. kyu aayi ho tum? Tum.. bhi kuch kehna chahti ho? Tum bhi mujhe kosna chahti ho na ki maine kabhi tumhe apne dil mei jagh nhi di?" He hiccuped in between as he spoke, indeed the truth.

"Daya, aap please shant ho jaiye" Her eyes started forming tears. It was getting hard for her to control but for him, she tried to stay strong.

"Nhi Shreya, nhi reh paunga ab mai shant. Nhi sehn hoga ab mujhse!" He cried and rested his head on the bed while staring the ceiling, lostly.

"Toh kyu seh rhe h aap?" She was scared to talk to him. Indeed, this was the very first time of her being this close to him and when he wasn't yelling at her.

He didn't say anything so she continued, "Sab kuch samne kyu nhi le ate aap? Jo koyi bhi baat yah vajah rahi hogi, hum sab samjhenge na apko."

"Mai nhi bta sakta kuch bhi. Mere haath bandha huye h Shreya." He looked in her eyes. His heart pinched badly after remembering the way he treated her.

Her eyes held pure love for him, but to him they were not much different from Shanaya's, who were again asking 'what's my fault! Why am I suffering?'

He held her palm in his hands and pressed lightly.

"Shayad mai hi galat tha Shreya, par mere paas aur koyi option nhi tha tab! Meri vajah se tumhe yeh sab sehna pad rha h. Tum chaho toh mujhe chor ke chali jao-"

She kept her hand on his lips to not let him speak anything else. How can she go away from him? How can she go far from her love? No, she won't leave him alone when he needs someone besides. She won't mind him being rude to her, but she won't leave him and that was sure.

"Mujhe apse koyi shikayat nhi h Daya. Aap bhale hi mujhe apna kuch nhi maante lekin mere liye aap hi mere sab kuch h. Mai.. mai apse dur nhi reh paungi. Please mujhe.. mujhe iss ghar se, apse dur mat kijiye!" She had pain in her words.

"Mai mafi mangne ka hak toh bht pehle hi kho chuka hu. Par phir bhi Shreya, agar ho sake toh mujhe maaf kr dena!" He joined his hands in front of her while tears didn't stop rolling down his cheeks.

"Daya aap yeh kya-" She instantly held his hand.

"Maaf krdo Shreya, tumhari yeh aankhe mujhse... mujhse har ghum ka jawab mang rhi h jo mai nhi de paunga. Tumhari koyi galati nhi thi Shreya, lekin phir bhi mai tumhe hi kosta rha. Tum toh sach janti bhi nhi ho!"

"Aur mai jaanna bhi nhi chahti." She looked deep in his wet eyes, " lekin kuch mang sakti hu apse?"

He stared her for sometime, "Agar mai voh de paya toh peeche nhi hatunga!" His voice broke coz of his heavy throat.

"Aap mujhe.. apni dost toh maan skte h na?" She said while tears toppled down continuously from her eyes.

He broke down completely on hearing this and hugged her tightly. She was shocked by his sudden act but then she too hugged him and tried to console the strong door breaker who now was completely broken.


"What the hell was that?" Rishi yelled when he entered his room where Shanaya was already present. She was doing something on her laptop, though her mind was far away from her body.

Rishi was sure that she heard him, but intentionally didn't reply.

"Shanaya mai kuch puch rha hu" He tried to control his tone and ask her again.

She gave him a silent look then after sliding her laptop aside, she stood up and started walking to the door when he stoped her by holding her wrist.

"Aaj tumne jo kiya voh sahi nhi tha Shanaya!" He said in a controlled voice in attempt to make her understand.

"Kyu?" She stood in front of him and asked in a straight tone, "Apne aasuon ka hisab mangna galat h?"

"Seenu kyu un bato ko phir se dohra rhi ho?" He asked softly this time, "Kyu uske zakhmon pr namak chheedak rhi ho?"

"Aur mere zakhmon ka kya? Maine khud se bhi jyada pyaar kiya tha usse, khud se jyada bharosa kiya tha lekin mujhe kya mila haan?" She laughed in pain, "Ek shadi ka invitation card!"

"Shanaya isme Daya ki koyi galati nhi h!" Rishi held her shoulders and said in a low tone.

"Toh kiski galati h?" She jerked his hands off and asked loudly, "Batao na mujhe kiski galati h, mai.. mai janna chahti hu akhir mera kusoor kya tha?"

Rishi stood there with downed head, he couldn't answer her question. He knew the reason but was again bound by Daya's words. He couldn't reveal this to her. And after this much, no, he would never want her to regret later.

"Har baar kyu chup ho jate ho tum? Kyu koyi jawab nhi hota tumhara paas Rishi? Maine bht mushkil se khudko itna strong banaya h, mai ab kisiko mujhe phirse todne ka hak nhi dungi. Tumhe bhi nhi!"

"Shanaya listen-" Rishi tried to call her but she left the room without having another word.


Next morning arose with a new hope and determination. Daya was hopeful for encountering something good today and was determined to not let anything come out. His bandages were hurting a little but he was fine, atleast better than before.

He exited the washroom after changing into formals. His mind was still blocked with yesterday's thoughts. He was thinking about what Shanaya have thought to do coz he was sure that she won't sit ideal after all this. And her warning itself was so lively that he thought to prepare himself for the worst.

Thinking all this he stood in front of the dressing table searching for something, rather messing the drawers and other accessories. He got annoyed on not finding such a silly thing, so he yelled like just other day.

"Shreyaa! Tumse kitni baar kaha h meri cheezo ko haath mat lagaya kro!" He saw her coming and shouted again, "Why don't to get this simple-" And he stopped when yesterday night literally slapped him.

She came to him silently and asked, "Kya dhundh rhe h aap?" Her tone was simple. No anger, no hurt, nothing!

"Haan? Haan.. voh m.. meri watch nhi mil rhi!" He stammered as he was guilty again to shout at her.

"Alright!" She walked to the bed side table and picked the watch that was resting lonely over it. "Yeh lijiye!"

"Sorry.. voh mai bhul gaya tha ki maine raat mei watch kaha rakh di. I'm sorr-" He tried to apologise but she cut him as if nothing happened.

"Aap aaiye mai breakfast ready krti hu!" She cut him and left the room with a smile. He tried to stop her but nothing came out of his mouth. He was confused about why she behaved like this, moreover he was shocked as how could she tolerate his rude words.

"Mai ese hi kisi se dosti nhi karti!" She spoke as she peeped a little from the door. He couldn't stop but to smile, embarrassed on his own stupid acts.


"Daya kya kr rhe ho yr?" Shanaya jumped as she felt his strong arms curling her thin waist from behind.

"I love you!" Daya whispered and placed a soft kiss on her cheeks. He rested his chin on her shoulder while held her tightly to his chest.

She did blush but tried to push him away. "I know that. But.. leave me now! I have loads of work."

"Uhhu!" He rejected like a small child. He surely wasn't in a mood to leave her today nor was interested to talk. Just wanted to be with her for some time.

"Kya hua?" She twisted in his arms to face him. He just downed his head and rested on her shoulder. She smiled understandably and put her arms around his neck.

"Bura lag rha h?" Shanaya whispered softly.

"Hmm!" He hummed in response not looking in her eyes.

"I'll be back soon! Sirf chaar din ki baat h na Daya!" She ruffled his hair lightly who was looking very low and sad.

Shanaya was going out of town for a meeting with some of her company's business partner. She was in-charge of presenting the required things about her company and all other stuffs.

"Abhi kuch din pehle bhi toh gayi thi na tu! Mat ja na Seenu please!" Daya looked at her with pleading eyes. Inspite is his efforts to hide, she noticed the silent tears that were forming in his eyes.

"Daya you are-? Look at me!" She cupped his face and tried to make him understand, "It's just 4 days and meeting zaruri bhi h! Mai toh pehle bhi kayi baar gyi hu but why are you this much sad today? You know I can't go like this!"

"A..jeeb sa lag rha h yr. Jaise kuch.. kuch toh h jo sahi nhi hai ya phir kuch bohot galat hone vala hai!" A couple of tears rolled down his eyes. She panicked on his words a little coz she was feeling the same lately.

"Daya... Please.." She wiped tears from his cheeks while trying not to break herself, "Tum in baato mei kab se dhyaan dene lage haan? Kuch bhi galat nhi h aur na hi hoga! I promised I'll call you, didn't I?"

"Hmm!" He nodded and just hugged her tightly. The hug was enough to send shivers down her spine. She could feel how much scared he was. She could feel his heart beating loudly. She curled her hands around him and hugged him as tight as she could.

Various thoughts were came to her mind but she couldn't think the worst that happened eventually.

The car stopped with a jerk and Shanaya came out of her past. She can't explain how much she tries to avoid getting lost in his thoughts, but every time she fails miserably.

The driver opened car's door and she exited with a straight face. She was standing in front of CID bureau the very next day Rishi got attacked. She didn't inform Rishi about it though she was sure he will catch her soon.

"Are.. Shanaya Ma'am!" Freddy exclaimed, very first to look at her entering the door.

"Good morning!" She politely wished when she saw everyone gathering around her. She scanned the bureau completely but there weren't some pair of eyes whom she was actually expecting, rather searching.

"Good morning Ma'am! Aap yaha achanak? ACP sir toh-" Sachin asked but she cut him politely.

"Yeah I know Dad isn't here and that's why I gotta come here!" She replied with a smile.

"Shanaya?" Abhijeet entered in bureau with Daya accompanying him. Both had a little idea of her presence but still Abhijeet chose to ask, "Tum yaha kya kr rhi ho?"

"Bhai! Aap toh jante h ki kal jo hua uske baad I can't take risk! I want you to take this case in your hands!" She said strongly while throwing a piercing glare at Daya.

"Haan, case local police se aaj hi CID ko transfer hua h. Mai headquarters se hi aa rha hu!" He said a assuring tone, "Don't worry hum usske bare mei pata laga lenge!"

"I know you will and I trust you Bhai!" She then looked at Daya and added, "That criminal don't deserve to be alive!"

She switched her expressions all of a sudden while turning to Abhijeet, "And one more thing, agar aap Rishi ko investigate krne k liye bulana chahte h toh, please inform ME!" She was already pointing Daya, "Kisi aur ke sath he is not safe, you see?"

Abhijeet understood every meaning lurking behind her words. He just nodded and spoke after letting out a sigh, "Theek hai."

"Then I'll get going! Thank you!" She said politely and left.
