At the same time, in the garden:
Rajat: Pata nahi kyun yahan ake hamesha itna sakoon milta hai... jaise ki bahut dino baad apna ghar aya...
Purvi: (sat beside rajat on the bench and held his hand) Mujhe bhi aisa hi lagta hai. Hum kitna khush nasheeb hai na? pehle to main bhagwan se humesha ruth jaati thi, ki unhone mujhse mera sab kuch chhin li, mera ghar mera parvaar...
Rajat could feel her pain, he wanted to stop her from reminiscing those painful time but at the same time it is only Rajat in front of whom Purvi can pour her heart. So for the time being Rajat let her shed the tear which she was holding back.
Purvi: (continues) Phir dekho, aaj mere paas ek ghar hai, jahan mere apnon hai, jahan mujhe sab log itna pyar karte hai. Bhai behen sab ka pyar mil gaya mujhe. (now looking at Rajat) aur mujh duniya ki sabse keemti cheez bhi mil gayi!
Rajat: (in his deepest voice looking into her eyes) aur woh kya?
Purvi: kisi ka beintehaa mohabbat... (her eyes were now filled with tear) ab agar main mar bhi gayi na, to mujhe bhagwan se koi bhi shikwa nahi rahega. kyunki isse zyada kisi ko aur kya chahiye?
Rajat stopped her.
Rajat: Nahi Purvi! Tumhe mujhse wada karna padhega ki tum mera saath dogi tab tak, jab tak hum zindegi ka har ek modh paar na kar jaun. Maut to sab ki aati hai, lekin usse pehle mujhe tumhari saath ek l-a-m-b-i si zindegi guzarna hai. Pata hai tumhe, jab meri maa guzar gayi thi uss accident mein, tab main sirf 11 saal ka tha. Maine tab se apne aap ko ek shell mein bandh kar liya tha.
Purvi was looking at him with full eyes. She never saw him like this before. In their relationship Rajat is always the mature one who is always ready to take care of his little princess. He is the one on whom she can always depend on. But she never saw him sharing his own weakness. This is the first time he opened his heart in front of her. Suddenly tear came into her eyes.
Rajat: (continuing) Mera har ek gham ko maine kabhi bahar mere aankho tak bhi ane nahi diya. Lekin jab tum mujhe mili, mujhe laga ke shayad jo deewar mein maine apne dil ko kayad kar rakha tha, wo tutne ka waqt aa chuke. Ab mujhe apna dard kisi se chupane ka koi zaroorat nahi, ab mere zindegi mein bhi koi hai... woh deewar ab toot chuka hai Purvi! Ab mujhe tumhari zaroorat hai. kyun ki, ab main phir se kabhi uss deewar ke us paar nahi jaa paunga, toot ke bikhar jaunga main...(his voice chocked due to tear)
Purvi came and hugged him. This time not like a lover but like a mother consoling her child. Rajat also hid his teary face into her chest.
Purvi: (wiping tear off his face) Kabhi nahi jaungi, kahin nahi jaungi Rajat... Aap ki Purvi hamesha aap ke paas hai.
Both smiled looking at each other. A golden ray of the setting sun fell upon their faces witnessing the most beautiful kiss of the world which can say thousands of words in utter silence, which can write those unsaid promises and which can wipe off the last trace of sadness from their hearts...
Inside the Hall of the house
Diya: Bale pappa, ice cleam kitna achcha tha.
Abhijeet: Achcha beta? aapko achcha laga?
Diya: Di ne baiya ko kyu danta bale pappa? Baiya ko dantna mat please...(her eyes started filling with tear)
Abhijeet: Are... Rote nahi beta... (looking at others) kya yaar... kisko daanta, aur kaun ro rahi hai!
Shreya: Adi ko di jab bhi kuch bolti hai na, yeh sab se pehle shuru ho jati hai (smiled)
Tarika: Aur mera kismat bhi to dekho, ek to woh hai, jo mera kabhi sunta hi nahi, aur ek hai yeh, jo main isse nahi kehti woh bhi sun leti (with fake disappointmet)
Diya was a bit relieved now, as she could feel that the tension was not present there anymore. So she got off Abhijeet's lap and suddenly went to Tarika and hugged her tightly. Tarika took her in her arms.
Shreya: (to Tarika in low tone) dekho, yeh bhi tumhe samjh jati hai! abhi samjh gyi ki tumhara gussa khatam, ab tumse man mani kar sakti hai to chali ayi! Itni si deemag mein itna sab ate kahan se pat nahi!
Tarika: akhir teri hi beti hai na!
all laughed with her comment.
Diya: (to Adi) baiya, di ab tumhe nahi dantegi, deko, main bhi hun. tum aa jao
All were enjoying the little kids' behavior.
Adi looked from Shreya's lap. then he too came to Tarika. Now its Tarika's turn. She could not be angry with him anymore. When Adi came to her, she took him also in her arms. both the brothers and sisters hugged her. She smiled and kissed them on their cheeks. And then suddenly Shreya cam in front of her and kept her head on Tarika's lap
Shreya: Aur di, main? main bhi hun tumhari bachchi! mera wala?
Tarika smiled and lowered her head to place a cute little kiss on her forehead
Tarika: ab khush? Ab choro bhi tum log mujhe!
Daya: (clicking a photo of them) Bhabi, ek minute... kitne achche lag rahe hai...
He took a snap of the four of them with Tarika in center.
Suddenly a voice interrupted.
Purvi: aur ab ek family photo ho jaye?
Abhijeet: haan bhai, kyun nahi? Purvi, Rajat tum dono jaldi se baith jao, main camera set karke ata hun
Daya showed Abhijeet the place between himself and Tarika. Abhijeet smiled at him and sat there with Daya and Tarika at his both sides.
Then CHEEEEEEESE
