CHAPTER 12

Daya moved out to find shreya. He tried to call her, but her cellphone was off. Daya was driving anxiously on the road. He banged his fist on the steering. He recalled their last meeting.

Flashback

Shreya moved out to meet sachin, kavin and nikhil. But she was so frustrated; she couldn't decide where to go. Finally she turned the steering towards daya's home.

Daya was surprised seeing shreya there at night.

"Shreya, is waqt tum yaha kya kar rahi ho.?" Daya asked as he opened the door.

"Kya hum coffee pi sakte hain sath me baithkar." Shreya said looking into his eyes.

"Why not, aao andar aao, main bas 2 minute me coffee bana kar lata hu." He said and turned to go, when shreya caught his wrist.

"Sir, kya hum kahi bahar chale." Shreya said moving closer.

Daya tried to move away, "shreya, ab is waqt bahar jakar coffee pine ka kya matlab hai. Waise bhi kafi raat ho rahi hai."

Shreya caught his collar and pulled him closer, "raat to roj hoti hai, par hum roj sath to nahi hote na." She whispered moving closer and tried to kiss him.

But daya stopped her moving away, "shreya, kya kar rahi ho tum. Tumhe humare pyar pe bharosa nahi. Hume is terah se chup kar Milne ki koi jarurat nahi. Maine tumhari maa se promise kiya hai tumse door rehne ka. Aur main tumhare paas aaunga to sirf unki permission se." He said looking into her eyes.

Shreya looked at him furiously. Her eyes got filled with tears. She moved back.

"Shreya, listen, mujhe galat mat samjho, main bahut jald sab kuch theek kar dunga. Lekin abhi tum please ghar jao." Daya said holding her by her shoulders.

Shreya jerked his hand, "ok, I got it, meri zindagi ka har faisla aap log karenge, koi kehta hai, uske sath coffee pine chali jao, koi kehta hai isse nahi usse shadi karo, jisse main pyar karti hu, wo khud kehta hai ki, mere paas mat aao..." Shreya was talking tearfully..

"Shreya..." Daya tried to stop her but shreya continued.

"Sabko apni Marji chalani hai, main kya chahti hu, meri khushi kisme hai, isse kisi ko koi matlab nahi, aapko bhi nahi." She said and rubbed her tears, "I am so sorry, sir, itni raat ko aapko disturb kiya, sirf ek cup coffee hi to pine ko keh rahi thi, but its ok, I am sorry again. Mujhe yaha nahi ghar pe hona chahiye, right, to main ghar ja rahi hu, bye!" She said and left from there angrily without waiting for daya's reaction.

"Shreya, just listen to me...mera wo matlab nahi tha, tum mujhe galat samajh rahi ho, meri baat to suno." Daya rushed after her but she had left.

Flashback over.

Daya scratched his head, "shreya bahut gusse me thi us waqt. Pata nahi kaha gayi hogi, phone bhi band rakha hai. God! Kaha dhundhu main Shreya ko. Uske ghar pe sab itne pareshan hain. Shreya kaha ho tum!" He was murmuring to himself.

Just then he got a call from one of his informer. "Ha raghu... Kya baat hai." He said receiving the call.

"Daya sir wo...ye theatre wali road pe Jo bar hai na, waha thoda locha ho gaya hai."His informer told.

"Kaisa locha?" Daya asked concentrating on the road.

"Are sir wo...apni shreya madam ji hain na, unhone bahut pi rakhi hai. Bahut aafat macha rakhi hai. Unko control Karna mushkil hai, aap jaldi se aa jaiye." He told hesitatingly.

Daya applied the break with a jerk, "what? Ye kya bol raha hai tu, shreya bar me? Oh no!" He banged his head and turned the steering towards the spot.

He was moving towards the bar but again hot a call from his informer. He received it immediately, "ha bol ab kya hua."

"Sir wo, madam to bahar nikal gayi hain apni car me. Unhone bahut pi rakhi hai, gadi kaise chala payegi. Maine rokne Ki koshish ki lekin wo mujhe thappad maar ke nikal gayi." He told rubbing his cheeks.

Daya held his head in his hands, "Oh no! Shreya pikar gadi chala rahi hai, ye ladki. Ab kya karu main kaise roku." He moved ahead.

He was driving worriedly, when he spotted shreya's car. She was driving randomly.

"Shreya, stop the car!" Daya shouted behind her but shreya didn't hear him.

Daya accelerated his speed and came parallel to her car. He peeped out of the window, "Shreya, kya kar rahi ho tum, gadi roko turant."

Shreya looked at him and threw an angry glance and increased her speed.

"Aap kyun aaye hain mere paas sir, maa se permission li ki nahi. Hahaha." She started laughing at him

"Shut up shreya, I said stop the car." Daya yelled at her driving parallel to her.

But shreya was not in a mood to stop. She increased her speed. Daya gritted his teeth and started following her. He drove and stopped his car in front of her blocking shreya's way. Shreya tried to apply the break and her car crashed with daya's. But finally she applied the break.

Daya was annoyed. He came out of his car and moved towards shreya. He peeped inside the car, "Shreya, bahut ho gaya, chalo ab bahar niklo, come on!" He said but was shocked seeing shreya unconscious, her head was placed on the steering.

"Oh no! Shreya..." Daya opened the door and lifted shreya's head up. But she was unconscious under the effect of high dose of alcohol.

"Shreya... Shreya, aankhe kholo." Daya patted her cheeks, but she was not responding. Meanwhile daya got a call from Supriya. He supported shreya by one hand and received the call from another.

"Daya, shreya ka kuch pata chala?" Supriya asked worriedly.

"Mam, don't worry, shreya mil gayi, main bas use lekar ghar aa raha hu." He said sweating badly.

"Oh thank God! Kaisi hai shreya, kaha thi wo, baat karao meri..." Supriya said happily.

"Mam, main shreya se aapki baat nahi Kara sakta, main use ghar lekar aata hu, phir aap baat kar leejiyega." Daya said and cut the call.

He bent and took shreya in his arms. He moved towards his car and made shreya sit on the passenger seat next to him. He fixed shreya's seat belt and occupied the driving seat.

Soon he reached at shreya's home. Everybody was waiting for him outside the house. As they saw daya's car they ran to him. Daya came out of the car. He then opened shreya's door and again lifted her up in his arms. Supriya and all were shocked seeing shreya like this.

"Ye shreya ko kya hua, sab theek hai na daya?" She asked worriedly.

"Shreya behosh hai. Andar chaliye." Daya said and moved inside holding shreya in his arms.

"What? Behosh hai? Kaise? Kya kiya tumne meri beti ke sath han? Ye kya halat kar di hai uski." Maya started shouting at him.

Daya made shreya lay on the couch and turned to Maya. "Would you please stop shouting unnecessarily. " he yelled at Maya. She went silent.

Now Supriya came to daya and made him turned by holding his arm. "Daya, sach sach batao kya kiya tumne shreya ke sath. Behosh kyun hai wo?"

Daya smirked at her, "aap logo ka dimag theek hai? Main kyun kuch karunga uske sath. Uski is halat ki jimmedar aap log hain. Janna chahti hain kyun behosh hai wo, han, to suniye, sharab pi hai shreya ne. Sharab ke nashe me driving bhi kar rahi thi, aur agar main sahi time pe nahi pahuchta to pata nahi kya hota, apne sath sath dusro ki bhi zindagi khatre me daal diya tha aapki beti ne. Main use sahi salamat ghar lekar aaya. Aap logo ko mujhe thanks bolna chahiye aur ulta aap log mujhse hi sawal kar rahe hain. Disgusting." He yelled at them and turned to pradyuman.

"Sir please, aap shreya ko kuch mat kahiyega. Wo is waqt kuch bhi sunne samajhne ki halat me nahi hai. "

Pradyuman looked at him and then looked at shreya and nodded his head.

Daya turned towards the ladies, "shreya ka khayal rakhiyega, main chalta hu." And he immediately left from there.

Sweety came near shreya and kept her head in her Lap. "Shreya didu, please utho na. Hum baithkar baate karte hain." But she got no response from shreya.

Supriya and Maya were worriedly sitting beside shreya. Pradyuman came to them.

"Shreya ko aram karne deejiye, jaiye aap log yaha se." He said strictly.

The three ladies said nothing and moved from there sadly. Pradyuman came and caressed shreya's head. "Shreya, bachha, ye kya kiya aapne!" He too got up and sadly moved from there.

Next morning shreya woke up with a heavy head. She was trying to recall what she did after leaving daya's house. She came out holding her head in her hands.

Pradyuman saw her, "shreya, you ok?"

"Papa, kal raat main ghar kaise aayi?" She asked sitting beside him.

Pradyuman took a sigh, "daya lekar aaya tumhe." He said patting her head.

"Papa, I am really sorry, maine kal sharab..." She said but pradyuman cut her in between.

"Sorry? Sorry kehne se sab pehle jaisa ho jata hai? maine aaj tak sharab ko hath nahi lagaya aur aapne? Main humesha se aapko khud se ek kadam aage dekhna chahta hu, aur kal aapne wakai wo Kar dikhaya, aap mujhse ek nahi Kai kadam aage nikal gayi. I am so proud of you." He said with a sarcastic smile.

Shreya hugged him and started crying, "I am so sorry papa, please aisa mat boliye. Main aaj ke baad se aisi koi galti kabhi nahi karungi." She said hiding her face in his chest.

Pradyuman separated her, "I know shreya, you were upset. But, this is not the way to handle the situation. Aap nashe me gadi chala rahi thi, koi bada accident ho jata to. Agar daya sahi waqt pe aapko nahi rokta to aap to nikal padi thi apni dhun me mast."

Shreya looked at him with teary eyes, "kaan pakad ke sorry papa." She said cutely holding her ears.

Pradyuman looked at her and couldn't resist his smile. She was looking like a 5 year old shreya. He rubbed her tears and pulled her in a soothing hug.

Some hours later, they were in bureau.

Shreya thought to talk to daya. She moved to his desk.

"Sir ...wo kal raat..." She was saying when daya shouted.

"Jaywanti, ye kya hai, report complete kyun nahi hai?" He went to jaywanti and started giving her instructions.

Shreya was sadly staring at him. he was looking angry with her. He simply ignored her and didn't provide shreya a chance to apologize for her stupid behavior.

Whole day shreya was sad but pretended to be busy in her work. Whole day daya didn't talk to her.

At evening.

Supriya, Maya and sweety were silently sitting in the drawing room. They had no guts to talk to shreya. Sometimes later shreya herself came to them.

"Maa, main aap logo ko ye batane aayi hu ki, main aapki pasand ke ladko se shadi karne ke liye taiyar hu. Lekin main ek baar un teeno se ek sath milna chahti hu. Kuch baate Karna chahti hu, aur phir main decide karungi ki, mujhe un teeno me se kisse shadi karni hai." She said in one breath with full confidence.

All the three became happy with her decision.

"That's really good shreya, main abhi sachin se baat karti hu." Said Supriya happily.

"Ji, aur aap log bhi kavin sir aur nikhil se baat kar leejiye. Main jald se jald is matter ko khatam Karna chahti hu." She said and left the hall.

A/N: and here I am with a new update…it was the second last chapter, one more to go.

A note for ASHWINI: dear, you suggested me a plot, but I am so sorry…it was really confusing. Mujhe kuch bhi samajh nahi aaya, then how can I pen it down. And handling three couples together is out of my comfort zone. Once again so sorry. The second thing, I am too busy to plan a new story. So it's really not possible to write on your plot. Please gussa mat hona dear. Mujhe bahut bura lag raha hai mana karte huye, but aur koi option nahi. However, If you can talk to me on fb …then probably we two can discuss the plot in a better way…so please say, if you can join me on fb. Or log in to FF and we can chat through PMs. Love you dear!

I'll try to update hate story on Sunday….but no promises..till then…

Stay tuned and

Keep loving DaReya…

Love you all.
