Shreya decided to tell her parents about her decision of resigning from her post. She went inside her parents room.
Shreya (nervously) - Maa! Baba! Mujhe aap logo se bahut jaruri baat karni hai.
ShreyaF - Kya baat hai beta? Tu itni pareshan kyu lag rahi hai? (he went close to her) Sab thik to hai na?
Shreya (turned to other side) - Baba! Mene apni noukari chorr di. Mene istifa(resign) de diya apni naukari se!
Shreya's Father and Mother both were shocked to hear this!
ShreyaF(holding her shoulder) - ye tu kya bol rahi hai beta? Ye naukari karna tera sapna tha na? Fir tune istifa kyu de diya?
Shreya - mujhe maaf kar dijiye baba! Mai jaanti hu aapko ye jaankar bilkul acha nahi lag raha hoga. Lekin mai ab ye sab nahi karna chahti! Mai ye naukari nahi karna chahti.
ShreyaM - fir tu kya karna chahti hai Pinki?
Shreya (turned to other side and closed her eyes) - Baba! Mai fir se apne gaon jaana chahti hu. Mujhe vaha ke ek school mai teacher ki job bhi mil gai hai! Mai padhana chahti hu baba.
ShreyaF was silent hearing that he sat on his chair.
ShreyaM - ye tu kya bol rahi hai Shreya? Saalo pehle jo hua usske baad humne vo gaon chorr diya tha. Tune vaada kiya tha tu kabhi mudkar bhi vaha vaapas nahi jaayegi! Fir ye sab?
Shreya went close to her father and sat on the floor near him and kept a hand on his legs "Please baba! Mana mat kijiyega! maine aaj tak aapki saari baate maani hai. Please mujhe jaane dijiye baba! Mai vaha khush rahungi baba please mana mat kijiyega!
Shreya's father looked at her and kept his one hand on her head and said with a smile "Jaaa! Meri khusi to teri khusi mai hai beta! Tera koi bhi faisala galat nahi ho sakta. Mujhe tujh par pura bharosa hai!"
Shreya's eyes filled with tears she hugged her father.
ShreyaM (shocked) - ye aap kya keh rahe hai? Ladki ko akele aise uss gaon mai bhejna
ShreyaF - Pinki meri beti nahi mera beta hai! Aur mujhe apni beti par aur usske faislo par pura bharosa hai! Ghamand hai mujhe apni beti par.
ShreyaM - Lekin?
ShreyaF - bass! Mene kaha na mujhe Shreya ke iss faisle se koi bhi dikkat nahi hai. (looked at Shreya) tu jaane ki taiyari kar beta!
Shreya happily went to her room!
Shreya was packing her luggage when her mother came there!
ShreyaM (holding her shoulder) - sach sach bata Shreya! kyu jaana chahti hai tu vaapas uss gaon mai? Kahi tu uss ladke ki vajah se to nahi jaana chahti na vaha?
Shreya (turned to other side) - Maa! Please aisa kuch nahi hai.
ShreyaM - acha! Meri aankho mai aankhe daal kar ye hi bol! 10saal ho gaye Shreya! Ab to bhul jaa uss ladke ko.
Shreya (with tears) - nahi bhul sakti Maa! 10saal to kya 10janam mai bhi nahi bhul sakti mai apne Guddu ko!
ShreyaM (in disbelief) - tu pagal ho gai hai Shreya! Tu jaanti hai na tere baba kitna bharosa karte hai tujh par? Guroor maante hai vo tujhe apna! Agar unnhe pata chal gaya ki tu abhi bhi uss ladke ko nahi bhuli hai to unnka to bharosa hi tut jaayega!
Shreya - Maa! Mai aisa koi bhi kaam nahi karungi jisse baba ka bharosa tute! mai uss gaon mai sirf isliye jaana chahti hu kyunki vaha mere Guddu ki yaade hai!
ShreyaM (angrily) - kab tak? Aakhir Kab tak tu usski yaado ko sambhal kar rakhegi Shreya? Tu jaanti hai agar vo mil bhi gaya to bhi tere baba kabhi tum dono ke rishte ko savikar nahi karenge! Aur Kya pata usski shadi ho gai ho?
Shreya (with tears) - pata nahi Maa! Par bass itna jaanti hu mere jeene ke liye mere Guddu ki yaade hi kaafi hai!
ShreyaM (in disbelief) - iss ladki ka to dimag hi kharab hai! Tujhe samjhane ka koi fayda nahi (and she left the room)
Shreya left for the village the same day!
She was very happy and surprise to see the changed scenario of the village. She went towards her childhood bestfriend Bela's House!
When she reached there she saw Bela was feeding her 3year old son.
Shreya (happily) - Bela?
Hearing her voice Bela looked in her direction she stared at her for sometime and then recognized her!
Bela (happily) - Shreya? (she went close to her and hugged her) tu yaha itne saalo baad? Mujhe to laga tha tu mamsahab banke hum sabko to bhul hi gai hogi!
Shreya broke the hug "Aise kaise bhul jaati! Mai yaha aate hi sabse pehle Tere ghar chali aayi"
Bela - rehne de Shreya! 10saal pehle teri shadi tutne ke baad tune ye gaon chorr diya. Usske baad tu kabhi lautkar nahi aayi yaha tak ki ek khat tak nahi likha tune!
Shreya (a little upset) - chorr na yaar! Purani baato ko yaad nahi karte hai. (while looking at the boy) ye tumhara beta hai?
Bela (happily) - Haaan! (she point towards a 7year old girl who was playing outside) aur vo meri beti Pooja!
Shreya (happily) - kya baat hai Bela!
Bela - tu bahut kismat wali hai Shreya! Tere baba ne teri shadi nahi karwayi ab tak! tu itna padh paayi. Sabki kismat tere jaisi nahi hoti
Shreya (touched her face lovingly) - ab ye sab baate chorr! Itne saalo baad mile hai kuch achi baate Kare?
Bela Smiled and they started their chitchat.
In Evening -
Shreya went to the deserted temple where she and Guddu used to meet. (when she entered in the temple at the same time Daya left the temple but they couldn't see each other because Daya was at the back side of the temple)
Shreya was watching all around the temple Guddu's memories were flashing infront of her eyes. His memories were still fresh in her mind.
She sat there her eyes filled with tears remembering Guddu! She goes into a flashback and remembered what happened after her Baba took her away from Guddu and how her father's attitude changed towards her.
A/N - in next chapter we will know how Shreya's father attitude changed towards her? So now Guddu and Pinki are again in the same village! Will they ever meet? Or even if they meet will they recognize each other? Sorry for the late update!
