"Mom look bhai ko kuch ho gya hai, he hummed and grooved the song, cooked and blushing" Daya informed them teasingly.
"Wow kis baat pe humaara beta itna kush hai, haan" Avni politely cupped Abhijeet's face and he lowered his face in shyness.
"Ma wo… wo actually muj…mujhe khud nhi pata chala yeh kab, kahaan, kaise hua bas ho gya" Abhijeet shyly confessing his feelings, "Ma I…. I… I am in Love" Trio got statue on their place, "I am in deeply love with Taarika, bepannah mohb'bat karta hoon usse, she became my life, my soul, my everything, I just love her bahut mohb'bat karta hoon main Taarika se"
They gradually gasped the confession and adapting what they heard right now, is this a reality or a dream? Are they really heard that Abhijeet loves someone to this extent? Daya hurriedly hugged him getting emotional. There are mixed feelings of happiness, surprise, emotions, and elders also joined brothers in family hug in happiness. After separated Avni cupped his face wiping her happy tears.
"Hum bata nhi sakte hum kitne kush hai, aapki Khushi hi humaari kushi hai. Taarika bahut achchi ladki hai beta hope aap dono kush raho humesha" Avni flared his hair emotionally.
"Bhai I'm so happy yeah I knew it you know first sight mein hi spark tha, I love you" Daya excited on this and all of them grooving and enjoying.
Abhijeet couldn't hold back the tears emotionally and wrapped him in Avni's embrace and began weeping. Avni consoled him soothingly and calmly when ACP nodded in assuring knowing his son's overwhelming and sensitive nature.
At terrace Abhijeet was having silent talks with his parents when Daya stood beside him.
"Aaj agar Mamma- Papa hote toh kitna kush hote na" Abhijeet silently stated letting few drops flowing freely.
"Bhai you really love Taarika? Kyunki iss baar main apne Abhijeet bhaiya ka dil toot'te nhi dekh sakta" Daya painfully pressed his shoulder.
"Maine toh apna dil Taarika pe kurbaan kar diya Daya bina uska background jaane, ab humaari manjil kuch bhi ho, I can't stop loving her" Abhijeet sighed deeply and stated having unknown fear, "Agar Taarika ne mujhe dhoka diya toh marr jaaunga yaar mein"
"Shshsh bhaiya don't say this Taarika's is pure aur abhi aap hi ne toh kaha you can't stop loving her aur main apne bhai ko jaanta hoon wo Taarika ke liye apni jaan bhi de sakte hai, if he confessed his love" Daya praised him.
Present
Abhijeet remained in the trance with closed eyes and innocent smile when his trance broke by clearance of throat. He surprised to see Purvi beside reading magazine beside his bed.
"Kitne der ho gyi tumhe aaye hue?" Abhijeet casually asked.
"Jab aap Taarika ko mehsoos kar rhe the" Purvi replied adjusting the camera, "So ready captain to flip your life chapters"
"You are wasting your time Purvi" Abhijeet sighed when she stared him for few moments and continued with adjustment ignoring his comment.
"Aap operation ke liye kyun nhi maan rhe, you needed the treatment. You are going to die else" Purvi helplessly convinced him.
"Thak chuka Purvi please ab aur sehne ki taaqat nhi rhi" Abhijeet painfully exhaled, "Ab toh azaad hone do yaar 20 saal narak ki zindgi jee rha hoon, ab aur bardaast nhi ho rha ab bas sukoon chahta hoon" he added blankly while she bit her lips in pain, "But I promised you so cover my story soon Ms Purvi kahin tumhara project adhoora na reh jaaye"
"Aap apni family se kyun milna nhi chahte unhe bhi aapka sach jaan'ne ka haq hai" Purvi asked leaving him silent for few minutes.
Abhijeet sighed deeply and chuckled painfully and in hurt, "Jab saari duniya aapke khilaaf ho jaaye aap tab bhi fight kar sakte hai, par jab apne hi aapke khilaaf ho jaaye, khud se jyaada sabooton pe vishwaas kare, toh wo aapko tod deta hai, it breaks you from the core. Jab apno ki nazar mein aap culprit saabit ho jaaye toh duniya ko proof karne se kya faayda. They believed in proofs over their son. Theek kahaa tha Pa ne main insaan kehlane laayak nhi hoon, narak se bhi bad'tar sazaa milni chahiye mujhe. Deshdrohi hoon main, I deserve this life, or even worse than this, I deserved these tortures, I deserved this disease jo mujhe har pal maut ke kareeb le jaa rhi hai. I deserved all these pains, hurts" Purvi sobbed in helplessness and agony when Abhijeet requested her hopingly "Purvi please do me a favour please I want to feel Taarika during my last time. I want her on my deathbed"
Purvi helplessly nodded in assuring and he began narrating…
22 years earlier
Abhijeet was passing through corridor when receive the call, when he got hell shocked hearing the caller voice. His lips were flickering, eyes widened and gulped the saliva. His body was jerking and shaking badly in fear.
"Kaise ho Abhijeet, laut aaya hoon main, jald mulakaat hogi bas yehi khushkhabri deni thi, waise bhool toh nhi gye na mujhe Inayat Ali" Inayat threatened Abhijeet who became numb on his place. He began sweating and trembling in fear and breathing heavily. He heard the evil laugh from other side and his condition got worsen.
He grabbed the wall and rushed towards nearest room with shabby steps. His breathing was getting unsteady, lips were flickering, and eyes popped out in fear. All the flashes of his parents' murder, his kidnapping, caged in wooden box for fifteen days, that suffocation, chocking to death.
In meantime, he himself locked inside and light went off. He screamed in fear and cuddled his head into knees while breathing heavily. His eyes turned red and whole body was trembling badly in fear. He was not in his sense banging the door in complete mess. He wanted to scream, call Daya or ACP Pradyuman but he too terrified that his voice chocked in throat. Soon he couldn't able to handle this and his eyes were getting heavy, and he fell on floor with thud, closing his eyes.
