In the evening... All of our officers gathered in the living room. All of them were enjoying Rajat and Purvi's wedding CD.

Abhijeet: Yar Rajat, ek baat batao, tumko dekhke aise lag nahi raha hai ki tumari shadi hone wala hai. Aise muh banake baithe ho pure CD mein jaise ki koi khatarnak mission pe ho!

Rajat: Shadi mission se kam khatarnak thodi hai sir (smirking)

Purvi: (with mock anger) acha ji! to main itna darawna hun...

All were giggling and enjoying their cute fight. Abhijeet was sitting in the couch, where Tarika was sitting on the arm of his couch. Abhijeet was holdin her by her waist. Beside them Daya was sitting while Shreya snuggled beside him. Purvi and Rajat were in sofa, who were already started fighting with the cushions!

Rajat: Dekha... Isi liye to... tum koi terrorist se kam nahi

Purvi: R-A-J-A-T! Ab kuch zyada ho raha hai, haan?

Daya: Kya yaar Rajat! Ab chodo bhi. kyun chiddhate ho bechari ko?

Rajat: yeh bechari hai? Tab to sir aap humare ghar zaroor aiyega!

Purvi: Rajat! Ab to main tumhe chodungi nahi. Abhi batati hun.

She took the remote from the table and was about to throw it aiming his head, but Rajat quickly snatched that from her hand and held her hands tightly while coming closer to her.

Rajat: kya hua? ab pichhe kyun ja rahi hai?

Purvi: (blushed) (whispering into his ear) Rajat... please... yahan sab log hai. aisa mat karo please...

Tarika: ahem ahem...

Daya: Bhabi! romantic scene ke beech mein toka kyun?

Abhijeet laughed aloud, and Shreya patted Daya's head. Rajat and Purvi broke apart from each other. They were again into the CD.

Shreya: Di, Purvi kitni cute lag rahi hai na iss dress mein?

Tarika: humari Purvi hai hi itni khubsurat!

Purvi: (Blushed and lowered her head) Di, aap bhi na...

Daya: Arre yaar! main bhi kitna achcha lag raha hun iss mein! koi mujhe bhi complement do!

All laughed.

Abhijeet: Daya! tu kabhi nahi sudhrega!

Daya: Tum chahte ho ki main sudhar jaun? haan?

Abhijeet: (in his most loving tone) nahi Daya! tu agar kabhi bhi badal gaya na, to main seh nahi paunga!

His sudden comment was enough to change the mood of this room. His words were so full of love, that Daya immediately wanted to hug his brother and tell him that he will never change. but that reaction was not possible right now. the only thing he could do was, just hold his brother's hand tightly. And Abhijeet also understood all those words Daya wanted to tell him with this. He just smiled at him. The atmosphere of the room became heavy. So someone had to make it lighter. Shreya took the initiative.

Shreya: Di, woh Adi aur Diya ko juice dena hai na? Chalein kitchen mein?

Tarika: (She understood Shreya's intention) Haan Shreya. Chal kitchen mein. In sab ke liye bhi to kuch snacks banana hai. Tu chal nere sath

Purvi: Di, main bhi aa jaun?

Tarika: Nahi yaar! aaj ek hi din ke liye to ayi hai yaha! aaj at least kitchen se chutti le le.

Tarika and Shreya left the room. Rajat somehow felt that it would be better if he leave the two brothers alone for sometimes.

Rajat: (to Purvi) Bahar garden mein jake baithe kuch der ke liye?

Purvi: Thik hai tum bahar jake baitho. main Abhijeet sir ko bolke jati hun (To Abhijeet) Sir, abhi to Di aur Shre bhi nahi hai. Jab tak woh nahi ate hai, CD to hum dekh nahi sakte. To main soch rahi thi ki agar Rajat aur main, mera matlab hai ki, agar hum dono tab tak ke liye thod garden mein jake baithe...

Daya and Abhijeet thought that the couple might need some privacy. So they smiled

Abhijeet: Haan haan, kyun nahi! isme puchhnewali kya baat hai?

With this Purvi and Rajat also left the room. Now only the two of them were sitting there. Daya came near to Abhijeet.

Daya: Boss, sach sach batao, tumhe abh abhi kya hua tha jo tum suddenly itna emotional ho gaya tha?

Abhijeet: Aisa kuch nahi hai Daya

Daya: Abhijeet! tum kabhi mujhse kuch chupa sakte ho kya? Batao mujhe, kya hua tha? kyun dar gaye the tum?

Abhijeet: (he was shocked to see that how well Daya can feel him) Woha kya hai Daya, jab se tu mere zindegi mein aye hai, mere zindegi ke jo akelapan tha woh jaise gayab hi ho gaya. main uss akelapan ko bilkul bhul chuka hun. Aur abhi to humara yeh hasta khilta parivar hi mera zindegi hai. Par aaj tu jab achanak se woh change hone ki baat ki, mujhe ek dar sa mehsus hua. Agar sach mein kabhi tu badal gaya, aur humara yeh rishta badal gaye to main woh nahi seh paunga! jee nahi-

Abhijeet could not complete his sentence. Daya held his mouth.

Daya: (he had tear in his eyes) Bas! phir kahi aisa sochna bhi mat! Abhijeet! yehi mera zindegi hai. Main kaha jaunga tumhe chhorke? Tum bhai ho mera! Tum, bhabi, Adi, Shreya, Diya... Bas! yehi to hai mera duniya. Pata hai tumhe Abhi, main roz bhagwan ko thank you bolta hun, ke unhone mujhe aise parivar dii hai. Tum bas abhi yeh aansu vaansu poch lo. Bahut ho gaya rona dhona! Ab aur nahi.

Abhijeet wiped his tear off. He just smiled lokking at Daya. He felt much relieved now.

At the same time in the kitchen...

Shreya: Di, aaj woh special pakora banao na please... woh khane ka mann kar raha hai

Tarika: Kya hua Shreya? Idhar dekh. meri taraf dekh! Tujhe maa ki yaad kyun aa rahi hai

Shreya shockingly looked at her.

Shreya: Di, tumhe kaise pata...

Tarika: Di hun main tera! tera har ek dard mujhe mehsus hota hai pakora teri maa banati thi, isi liye woh khane se tujhe humesha mummy ki yaad ati hai, mujhe pata hai. Ab bata, kya baat hai?

Shreya: Woh Di, aaj jab Purvi aur Rajat ke shaadi ke cd dekh rahi thi, to apni shaadi ke din yaad aa rahi thi. Uss dn mummy ko bahut miss kiya tha na... bas...wohi... kitne saal ho gaye mummy ko guzar jane ka, phir bhi...

She did not complete her sentence. She just hugged Tarika. Tarika also had tear in her eyes. but she did not want to show that. She held Shreya even more tightly.

Tarika: Ro mat Shreya! idhar dekh! main hun na yahan tere saath. tujhe pata hai, didi bhi maa jaise hi hoti hai. ab tu meri achchi guriya hai na? aise rote nahi. Arre! yeh dekh! main to bhul hi gayi thi. yeh le, juice leja. aur woh dono ko pila de. jaaa...

Shreya: Di! woh diya ko juice pilana mujhse nahi hota! bahut shaitani karte hai woh. aap jao.

Tarika: thik hai, main waha ja rahi hun, tu idhar dekh. woh chips, pakora, aur cold drink le kar bahar ja. Daya aur apni jeej ke pas jake baith. main unn dono ko lekar ati hun

Tarika entered Adi and Diya's room. And instantaneously she screamed

Tarika: Adi! Aaj to tujhe mujhse koi nahi bacha sakta!

her scream came to the living room too. Abhijeet, Daya and Shreya ran into the room. And the scene was like this:

Adi has an almost empty bowl in his hand, beside Adi Diya is sitting with chocolate ice cream all over her face. She seemed to be very happy. Both of them have emptied the whole box of chocolate ice cream, which was kept in the freezer.

Tarika: (to all of them) Dekha! kitna shaitan ho gaye yeh! Diya ko hi ice cream khila diya! usse agar thand alg gaya to! aaj to main isse chodunga nahi!

Adi: Choti ma... bachao... (he hid behind Shreya)

Shreya: Di... Di... ek minute. Arre, marna mat! Please di

Tarika: Shreya! tu hat! isse main dekhti hun.

Shreya: Di, Diya ko kuch nahi hoga! aur woh pehle bhi ice cream khayi thi. usse kuch nahi hota hai

Tarika: Tujhe sab kuch maloom hai na!

Daya: Bhabi! aap itna gussa mat ho. Bachcha ice cream nahi khayega to kaun khayega?

Diya: Bale Pappa- (almost started crying)

Abhijeet took her in his lap and started to clean her face.

Diya: Bale pappa, baiya ice cleam di. wow... di ko bolo, baiya achcha hai. use daanta mat

Abhijeet: Thik hai beta.

Daya: Bhabi dekho, ab to Diya bhi request kar rahi hai, uske bhaiya ko daanta mat... Please bhabi choriye na

Adi was still behind Shreya.

Shreya: (She was taking Adi in her lap) Adi beta, aaj aap ne yeh achcha nahi kiya.

Adi: Choti maa, Diya ko bhi ice cream achche lagi

Tarika: Dekha Shreya!

Shreya: Shhhh! Di... main baat karti hun. aap log jao

Tarika: Shreya tu -

Shreya: Di tum jaao na please, main ise samjha dungi. (to Adi) Beta, zyada ice cream khane se na bukhar hota hai. Aap ko pata hai?

Adi nodded as 'NO'.

Shreya: aur zyada ice cream khana thik bhi nahi. Maa ko sorry bolo, aur bolo ki aage se aisa nahi hoga

Adi: (still on Shreya's lap but looking towards Tarika) Sorry maa

Shreya: Thik hai na, di?

Tarika: thik hai. par age agar aisa kiya na...

Adi: age nahi karunga.

Tarika: thik hai, ab jao.

But Adi showed no intention of leaving Shreya.

Adi: Choti maa ke saath rehna hai

Shreya: Thik hai, cholo humare saath.

Abhijeet also took Diya in the hall. She looked more happier now.
