salunkhe was reading his morning newspaper when his doorbell ring.
" Itni subah kaun aya hoga ? "
wondering about the visitor he opened the door , he felt internally elated to see Tarika there but mask it very well , he ignored Tarika and smiled broadly at his second important guest .
" Allle meri Anu ayi hai mujhse milne " salunkhe picked up Ananya in his lap and moved inside leaving Tarika at doorstep.
Tarika made sad face and followed her father who was in mission of avoiding her.
" aap chahe kitna bhi bhaag le mujhse par aaj mai aapko mana ke hi rahungi...(in cute smirking) aaphi ki beti hun itni jaldi to haar nahi manungi "
Tarika came and sat on opposite couch of salunkhe sir.. salunkhe gave her a look once then totally ignored her and got busy playing with Anaya.
" Are waah Anu aapke shoes to bahut hi pyare hai "
" papa ne dilwaya " Anaya said cutely
" waooo...Anu ke papa to bahut acche hai (Anaya nodded happily ) ...(naughtily ) accha Anu ek baat batao aap aapko nanu jada acche lagte hai ya Dadu ? "
Tarika hide her smile seeing Anaya's cute puzzled face..Anaya looked at her with hoping of some solution but she shrugged it.
" bale papa acche hai "
" haan ? " Tarika asked with confused smile
" lo bhai iske har ek solution Ka answer Abhijeet hai , yahan bhi iske bare papa " salunkhe chuckled while Anaya clapped happily...Tarika kissed her cutie pie
" pastry khana hai Anu ko ? " salunkhe asked in sweet tone
Anaya nodded happily, salunkhe kissed on her cheeks " mai abhi laya "
Tarika opened the tv and locking at cartoon channel she said " Anu aap Dorimon dekho mai abhi ayi "
"okay choco "
Inside kitchen
" Tum yaha..kuch chahiye tha to bol deti..le ata mai " salunkhe sir said in dry tone
" maafi chahiye thi "
Tarika hold salunkhe's hand which he was using to open the fridge.
" Meri narajgi se tumhe koi fark parta hai kya ? " salunkhe asked in tease
" Agar fark nahi parta to mai kabhi yahan ati kya sir ? "
Tarika took a deep breath and said in composed tone,
" Adi ke saath jo ye incident hua uske baad mai kuch din tak trauma me thi sir, Adi ko ek pal ke liye bhi dur nahi jane deti thi mai khudse..aapko na batane ke peeche do reason hai , pahla to ye ki mere me itni himmat nahi thi ki mai uss hadse ko dohrayu aur dusra ye ki mai aapko ye sab batakar aapko Pareshan nahi karna chahti thi.."
Tarika hold her ears and said while looking downward " I am sorry na chahte hue bhi maine aapko hurt kiya... please apni beti ko maaf kar dijiye.."
Salunkhe had tears in his eyes..he freed Tarika's ear ,
" ayenda se kabhi mujhse kuch chupaya to "
" I promise kabhi nahi chupaungi " Tarika said instantly
salunkhe sir smiled and hugged her daughter..Tarika smiled in tears, finally she got her father..she felt so sooth in her heart which no one can measure.
Two Hours Later" haan shreya ? "
" Abhijeet sir..wo..wo Tarika "
Abhijeet felt something wrong..his heart told him something unpleasant is coming..he asked in fear
" Tarika Kya...shreya batao mujhe kya baat hai ... (louder tone ) shreya tell me damn it. "
Daya watched from his desk, he frowned thinking what is the reason behind his brother's restlessness..he got up from his seat and entered inside the cabin and what he heard made him freeze on his place.
" sir Tarika Anu ko lekar salunkhe sir ke ghar gayi thi unse milne..iss baat ko do ghante se upar ho gaye hai par abhi tak undono ki koi khabar nahi hai..mai tabse Tarika ko call kar rahi hun, par wo phone bhi nahi utha rahi apna "
Abhijeet move toward window and closed his eyes , trying to control his sinus..he doesn't want to think something happening to his Tarika and kitty . He was clenching his fist tightly in anger and pain...
" salunkhe sir se baat hui tumhari ? " Daya asked in hurry
" Daya maine unhe call kiya tha unhone bola ki wo dono ...der ghante pahle hi wahan se nikal chuke hai " her voice was shievering in fear
" shreya tum chinta mat karo... hum dekhte hai "
" Daya wo dono theek honge na ? " her voice was teary
" bi.. bilkul theek honge "
" shreya unhe kuch nahi hoga , hum unhe kuch hone nahi denge ..tum Adi aur dev ko sambhal lena " Abhijeet said in ever composed tone
" okay " shreya sighed and cut the call.
" Daya Tarika ke car me gps install hai , hum usse pata kar sakte hai ki abhi uski gari kaha hai "
Abhijeet took out his tab and check Tarika's last location on the screen,
" Daya according to gps, Tarika ki gari juhu beach ke paas band hui hai, we have to go now "
Duo hurriedly left from there , Rajat feeling something wrong followed them . Trio came to the location and found the car parking in deserted road..they moved toward it fastly . They became shock to see a person lying injured on steering wheel.
Daya opened the driver seat and lifted the person's face,
" ye to Tarika ka driver hai Mangesh " Abhijeet exclaimed in shock
" Ye jinda hai Abhijeet..iski pulse slow hai par chal rahi hai , Rajat jaldi ambulance ko call karo " Daya said worriedly
" jee sir " Rajat said while taking out his cell phone
" maine mana kiya tha Tarika ko ghar se bahar nikalne ke liye..ye kabhi meri baat kyun nahi sun sakti ? " Abhijeet said in anger banging his fist on car's bonnet
" Abhi " Daya kept his hand on Abhijeet's shoulder
" Daya agar Tarika aur kitty ko kuch bhi hua na to mai uss Raghu ki jindgi ko ek bhayanak sapna bana dunga uske liye " Abhijeet said in rage
Daya patted his back , he had nothing to say..as ge is feeling the same anger , hurt, pain and fear..
soon the ambulance came and trio hurriedly took Mangesh to the hospital.
" purvi maasi mumma itni sad kyun lag rahi hai aur Bari maa aur Anu dono kaha hai ? " Dev asked after Shreya move inside her room serving the lunch
purvi felt loss of word, what would she say to innocent kids ...their duty protect lot of lives and saved many children's childhood but their own children..their own children is always in the line to lose their innocence and childhood just because of their parents'duty.
" beta wo dono bahar gaye hai kisi kaam se jaldi aa jaenge aur shreya bhi isliye udas hai kyunki wo Undono ko miss kar rahi hai "
" mai bhi mumma ko miss kar raha hun , aaj unhone bola tha ki wo mere saath pura day spent karengi fir wo kyun chali gayi " Aditya asked sadly
" chhote bari maa ko important kaam hoga isliye gayi hogi na...tu khana kha , wo jaldi aa jaengi " Dev console his little brother
" mera man nahi hai "
" kyun betu, dekho aapki shreya chachi ne aapke liye bhindi ki sabjee banayi hai..aapko to bahut pasand hai na " purvi said lovingly
" mujhe mumma chahiye " Aditya said grumpily, he got up and left from there.
"Adi " purvi tried to call him from behind but he didn't listen, she sighed sadly.
" kaise hua ye sab ? " Abhijeet asked in cold tone
" saheb mai Tarika mem saheb ko ghar hi la raha tha tab kuch logo ne humari gari beech me ake rok di..wo log ek bari si van me aye the..unke chehre mask se dhake the ..maine bahut kosis ki unhe wahan se bhagane ki par unlogo ke paas gun thi, unhone mujhe gun se marke behos kar diya aur mem saheb aur Anaya ko wahan se le gaye apne saath " Mangesh said cryingly
" tumne unke gari ka number dekha..kuch notice kiya unke bare me , haan...koi bhi aisi baat jo hume unke paas pahuncha sake " Daya asked in desperation
" Nahi saheb " Mangesh said in remorse
Trio came outside, their face was looking dull like someone has sucked their whole energy.
" Rajat "
" jee sir "
" Mangesh ki sare call details, sare bank account khangalo..mujhe pata nahi kyun par ispe shak hai "
" jee sir "
" Abhi "
" Hmm "
Daya was hesitating to ask what he wants..he was arranging in his mind how to frame this question
" Daya saaf saaf poocho jo poochna hain "
" Abhi hum unhe kuch nahi hone denge na..hum unhe bacha lenge na Abhi "
Abhijeet didn't answer, he patted Daya's shoulder saying " saboot sambhal ke rakhna "
