Chapter 18:- 

All were stunned as Abhi screaming words echo around, Daya held Abhi hands with all looking at them confusingly.

Acp :(shocked) Kya bol rahe ho tum Abhijeet?

Abhi;Haa sir(nodding)main sach bol raha hu.. hum sab iski ki ek wajha jante hain. Ye yaha iss guao walo ko bachane Bala ka saath de raha tha lekin uske saath saath ek aur wajha thi aur wo tha main. Mere liye ye yaha Raghu banke raha aur itna hi nahi(staring at Daya while Daya nodding his head in no holding Abhi hand)agar hum yaha nahi aate to ye yaha hamesha ke liye Raghu banke rehne wala tha.(all were shocked as they stare at him and daya shut his eyes)Iss guao mein sab sahi hone ke baad bhi ye humare pass lautne wala nahi tha sir.

Abhi was glaring with tears in his eyes with other shocked looking at him, Daya gluped his tears as he stared back at Abhijeet, Shreya was feeling the pain Daya was in as she stared at him unbelievably learning the truth.

Abhi : Ye nahi batiyega, main batata hu..

Daya :(hold his hand with his heart beating fast)Abhijeet jaane do, abh to sab theek hain to inn sab baatein ka kya faida.. (he looks around and gazed again at Abhi)Boss.. please

Abhi :(looks at Daya then at Acp)Sir aapko dancing doll ka case yaad hain (Daya held his hand tightly)Main aur Sudhakar kolkata aaye the sahib ko pakadne.. (Acp nodes) Wo yaha police se bachne ke liye ek family ko hostage banake unn ke saath reh raha tha. (Daya clench Abhi hand more tightly as Abhi takes a deep breathe while looking at Acp)Uske aur mere beech firing hui thi aur usmein meri gun ki goli uss ghar mein jo lady thi usse lag gaayi.

Acp : (nodding)Ye baat mujhe pata hain Abhijeet, it was just unfortunate ismein tumhari galti nahi thi aur ek minute.. (he keenly looks at Abhi)tumhe yaad hain wo case?

Abhi : (shaking his head in no)yaad to nahi sir, aur iss waqt baat ye hain ki mujhe yaad hain ya nahi lekin wo lady jiski maut hui thi wo..(take a sigh looking at Daya then at Ansha)Ansha unki beti hain.

All : Kya?

All glances at Ansha as she stare at Abhi then at Daya, they were unable to believe what they just heard about Ansha, Abhi sadly glances at Daya while he was lost in some flash backs.       

 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

While Abhirika and Sachreya were planning to enter the village as they tip about Daya. 

Meanwhile Daya was with sahib in Bihar pretending as Raghu,Sahib was suspicious about Daya acting as Raghu while He accompany him to extract the details. This was original planed but everything was changed in an instant when Sahib got the truth about Daya's real identity.

Daya hands were tired against the wall on each side in the open ground, he was bleeding badly as Sahib smirked at him looking at his watch.

Sahib : Waqt..  (Daya looked inbetween blood dropping from his eyelashes)Dayanand Shetty kaise hain aap? (coming closer to Daya)Kya laga tumhe tum apni yaadash jaane ka natak karoge aur main itna bada "Villan" maan jaunga tumhari baat.. (smirking and shaking his head in no)chuht...chutt..So sad aise nahi hua.

Daya : (smiling with tapping his eyes slowly)Mardo mujhe..

Sahib :(looks in to his eyes)Ohh nahi, ye kya bol rahe ho tum? Main apni bhen ke hone wale suhaag ko kaise maar sakta hu?kaise? (Daya glares at him with dizziness in them as Sahib smiled smiling)Tumne meri bhen ka faida uthaya na abh main bhi wahi karunga.. (Daya was confused)Tumhe dancing doll case yaad hain na  jismein tumlogo ne mujhe pakada tha.

Daya: Acha laga ye jaan ki tumhe abh tak apna kiye gunha yaad hain.

Sahib : (smiling)Apne bhi aur tumhare sabse ache dost ke bhi.. (Daya stare at him with confusion)nahi samjhe.. {he smiles pulling out his his phone from his pocket with searching something and shows it Daya)Ye dekho ismein iss aurat ko dekh rahe ho ye ussi ladki ki maa hain jiske mangetar hone ka tum natak kar rahe ho. (Daya looked stunned as Sahib smirks)Mujhe ache se pata hain tum to meri baat ka yakeen karoge nahi isliye ye photo jismein tumhara dost iss aurat ko goli marte hui dikh raha hain ye jaayega CID head quarters, enquiry hogi, tumhara dost suspend hoga logo mein uski badnami hogi aur usske saath eventually Main usse mardunga. hahahahaha (laugh evilly as Daya try to free himself)Aur sab ko ye lagega ki ex. suspended CID officer ne apni jaan dedi. huh.. wow exciting naa.. kitna sune mein acha lag raha hain(he turns twilling with smiling as Daya was struggling to free himself)

Daya: Main aise hone nahi dunga..tummm..

Sahib: (stops dancing and looks at him)hmm.. ofho Daya socho agar mujhe ye karna tha to abh tak kar chuka hota lekin mujhe kuch aur chaiye.

Daya :Kya?

Sahib: Tumhari zindagi.. (Daya looks at him with confused face)Daya main roz kuch na kuch sikhata.. (touch his troat)Main bohut positive insaan hu ye to mante ho na. To maine abhi sikha ki apne dushman ko marte nahi usse tadpate hain. Usse uska wo chinlo jo usse sabse pyaar hain. Socho Abhijeet ko sabse pyaara kaun hain? (Daya glares at him)tum bhai tum.. tumhare jaane ke baad to wo apne aapko bhul gaaya aur jante ho tumhri maut ki khabar sunke usne CID chodi. (snapping his fingers happily)its wonderful kaise koi itna juda reh sakta hain apne dost se.

Daya: Abhijeet aisa kabhi nahi karega, wo janta hain CID ke uske liye kya maine hain.

Sahib:(smirks)Haa janta hu isliye to keh raha hu tumhari zindagi meri mutthi mein hain aur honi chaiye. Agar aise nahi hua to ki iss photo ko aur Ansha ke gawahi se Abhijeet ki zindagi barbad hone se koi nahi rok sakta. samjhe tum.. huh.. (daya stare at him)Ansha ko bhi wahi bimari hain jo mere purane dost aur tumhare ache dost ko hain. (smirks)bhulne ki.. usse yaad nahi ki wo kaun hain lekin dekho zindagi kitni hasin hain hum sabko jod hi deti hain aur wo mujhe bohut manti hain, main usse jo kahunga wo wahi karegi.

Daya:Tum kab tak bhagoge Sahib, ek na ek din to rukna hoga.

Sahib:(smirks)Wo din main decide karunga.. (smirks stare at daya)Tum Raghu apni marzi se bane lekin abh tum Raghu meri marzi se rahoge. Yaha se kabhi bhi jaane ka maat sochna, jo chaho wo karo lekin jaise hi tum Raghu se Daya bane bas wo pal Abhijeet ki zindagi jhanum banegi. Yaad rakha ek Sahib hain lekin hazar sahib bhar intezar kar rahe hain badle ke liye, main itne salo ki mehanat paani mein jaane nahi dunga. Agar main hara to Abhijeet bhi harega aur mujse kayi zyada kuch harega.

Daya :(nods his head)Nahi, Abhijeet kuch nahi harega.. Main yahi rahunga Raghu banke hamesha ke liye. Daya marchuka hain aur mara hi rahega. Mera wada hain tumse lekin tum ya tumhare koi log Abhijeet ko kuch nahi karoge.

Sahib: (claps happily)Ye hui na baat, Daya aphi baat se kabhi nahi mukarta aur nahi Raghu murta tha. Apni nayi zindagi mubharakho.(smiles happily) khole apne Bhavu ko.. chalo

Sahib smirks looking at Daya as his men open Daya ropes while Daya gets sad thinking about everyone.

Daya:(thinking)Nahi Abhijeet, mere hote hui tumhe kuch nahi hoga. Kuch bhi nahi hoga chaiye uske liye mujhe kuch bhi karna pade.. kuch bhi.

        ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Daya was sitting on chair as he lower his head down with teary eyes while other around him had tears in their eyes, Abhi was standing opposite to him at a distance staring at Daya.

Shreya - Tarika were in the lobby as they were shocked and sad to hear Daya sacrifice for Abhijeet. Salunke wipe his tears as he moves alittle towards Daya with tapping his shoulder.

Salunke: Abhijeet tumhara gussa hona banta hain.. main to kehta hu aur 3-4 mardo Daya ko..

Acp :(teary eyes glares at Salunke)Kya bol raha hain?

Salunke: Aur nahi to kya, Jab aapka jigri dost ko aise kare to usse marna chaiye, daatna chaiye lekin kabhi bhi uska saath nahi chodna chaiye. (Abhi looks at him as Salunke smiles)Daya aur tumhari dosti ke aaj tak log misale dete aaye the abh to danke bajhenge..(he smiles inbetween his tears)kyu kya kehte ho sab log.

Rajat: Haa sir.. (Looks at Abhi as he slowly sit near Daya)Mujhe aapse bohut sikhayate hain sir.. (Daya stare at him while shreya keenly looks at Rajat- daya.Abhi looks at him and Daya eyes)aapne jo kiya wo koi aur nahi kar sakta isliye main itna to samjh gaaya hu ki jo bhi sikhayate thi abh wo maiyene nahi rakhti bas ye mainye rakhta hain ki aap theek ho, zinda ho aur hamare saath ho.

Daya smiles with shutting his eyes as other smile, Sachin feel proud of Rajat words as he stare at Abhi while Nikhil, Freddy, Pankaj join him.

Nikhil :(Looks at Rajat)Daya sir mere idol hain, Rajat sir aap meri position lene ka sochna bhi maat. Main inka crazy ek lauta fan tha aur rahunga. (all smiles looking at Nikhil as he makes a sad face holding Daya hands)Sir aap mere liye wapas chaliye na. Pata hain main pasta bana sikha hain aapko khub khilunga.

Pankaj: (frowning)Tumne hum ko kyu nahi khilaya?

Freddy :(twitching his tounge) Phek raha hain wo ye sab.

Nikhil : Nahi main sach mein sikha hain.

Freddy:(winking at Nikhil)Haa haa samjh gaaye.. Sir aap samjhe na chal rahe ho na aap?

Pankaj: Sir aap mere saath chalo.

Acp : (shaking his head)Bas bohut hua, (looks at all as they stand up with Daya)Daya(stand beside him)tum ek kaam karo(stare into his eyes and pats his shoulder)jawab dedo warna inn dono ki ladai shuru hojayegi aur inn dono ki ladai khatam asani se nahi hoti.

Everyone smiles as Daya looks at Abhijeet who was still seriously looking at him as others  move around. Rajat signal Sachin to talk to Abhi as he mummer's to himself taking step forward.

Sachin : Dost aise bhi nahi hone chaiye, muskil ke waqt pe mujhe aage kar dete hain.

Abhi glares at him as Sachin as he smiles akwardly taking backsteps while others laugh at his situation, Bala joins him with grabbing him by his shoulder.

Bala: Bhavu darna ka nahi mangta re, bolne ka mangta.

Abhi raise his hand with upfolding his sleeves as Bala quickly turn around with holding Daya hand and stand beside him and then thinks something with pushing Daya towards Abhi.

Bala :(taking a sigh)Bach gaaye.

Abhi glares at Daya as he looks at him with guilty face and sad face, Abhi anger had submerged as he sigh looking at Daya while Daya makes a puppy face.

Daya :(hold his ears)Sorry..

Abhi:(glances at shreya then again at Daya)Jhut..

Daya: Kabhi nahi kahunga, kuch nahi chupaunga tumse

Abhi looks at him with holding his hand and keeping it on his head as daya stare at him while Daya nodes.

Daya: Sach koi baat nahi chupaunga, sab kuch bataunga chaiye kuch bhi hojaye lekin Daya ke rehne tak Abhi ko koi dhuk nahi hoga.

Abhi was confused as he was about to say when he see Kabir coming towards clinic. Daya also turn around seeing Abhi shocked expression. Kabir stare at Daya as he takes steps but Abhi pulls his hand with standing infront of him with other standing beside daya. Daya looks at all with a smile occuping his lips and Ansha walking in front of them standing beside Kabir grabbing his arm, 

Ansha:(comes beside Kabir)Kabir Bhavu, aise nahi lagra jaise koi jung ki tayari chal rahi hain.

Pankaj: (forward smile)Haa Ansha aise hi lagra hain sabko dekhke..

Kabir: (glares at him)Haa aur iss jung mein tumhe Ansha ka bhai bhi milega.

Pankaj glup his feeling with seeing kabir glaring eyes and move behind Freddy, Kabir looks at Abhi.

Kabir: Abhijeet hum Raghu se baat karne..

Abhi : Jo bolna hain yahi sabke samne bolo.

Kabir: Kyu tumhe daar hain ki isse hum apne saath leke jaayenge.

Ansha:Bhavuu..(she stare at him as he cool down)sorry.. wo bas Bhavu Raghu ko sorry bolna chatein the.

Daya hold Abhi as he looks at him with Daya nodding and takes a step forward. kabir stares at all then at Ansha again at Raghu.

Kabir: Main..wo..(close his eyes)sorry..i am so sorry.. maine jo bhi kiya uske liye. Main bas Ansha ko khush dekhna chatein tha.

Daya:(smiling)Kabir, maine kaha tha na log bure nahi hote situation hoti hain. Haa ye alag baat ki yaha kuch bure log bhi the lekin mujhe yakeen tha tum bure nahi banoge. 

Bala: (laughing)Haa iske liye pura 1 din jail ki hawa khana mangta na.

Kabir: (stare at Bala then at Daya)Maine apna aur Ansha ka naam diya hain witness list mein Sahib Bhavu ke against, Dada bhi goverment approver ban gaaye hain isliye aaplogo ko fikar karne ki zarurath nahi hain abh sahib bahvu aap logo tak nahi aayenge(taps Daya shoulder)Tum bhi apne parivaar ke pass wapas laut jaao. Kafi samay dur rehliye abh waqt aagaya ghar lautne ka.

Abhi :Haa.. (Daya turn to looks at him as he stare at him back)Idhar tujhe hi to lene aaye the, abh iss khani ka happy end karte hain.

Daya smiles broadly as he hugs Abhi tightly while Abhi smiles back with Ansha hugging Kabir as they smile looking at eachother. Bala - Gyaan dances while team was happy with wipping their tears seeing the Duo happily togeather. Shreya smiles as Tarika hold her hand smiling and hugs her carefully. Sachin looks at Rajat who was smiling broadly with Nikhil, Freddy and Pankaj doing a small dance. Salunke alos do a small dance along with Bala - Gyaan as others were smiling at them. Acp wipes his eyes with feeling happy and looks at the sky with the villagers cheering in happiness.

Daya:(whispers)Thankyou Boss..

Abhi :(smiling)Daya kabhi kuch maat chupana mujhse aur hamesha sach batana please. Main nahi sekh paunga tumse dur rehna. Humari dosti mere liye bohut maiyene rakhti hain.

Daya: (hold his hand)Wada bhai-sab, ye baat hamesha yaad rakhunga aur ye dosti 1000 saalo tak aise hi rahegi.

Both hold hands as others were dancing around them with Daya again hugs again him while he looks at Shreya who smiling at them, her smile was adding a reason for Daya happiness but as soon as she notice his stare she stops smiling with turning her head to otherside. 

            ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Daya and Abhi were sleeping on wodden cots outside the clinic while all the others were residing at Haveli on request of Kabir and Ansha.

Daya :(smiling looking at sky with his heart filled with happiness)Waha kitna khubsurat hain.

Abhi : (rotating his head while sitting on his cot)Haa itne dino baad mujhe itna khush dekh rahe ho acha to lagunga hi.

Daya:(Smiles)Tumhe Bala ki kuch zyada adaath nahi hogayi?

Abhi :(smiling)Bala ki pata nahi(looks at Daya turning upside down on cot)lekin Raghu ke bina kuch acha nahi lagra..

Daya:(smiling stares at him)Abhijeet tum bhi na..

Abhi : (lying on cot with touching the cot sides)Haa main bhi na, wo to maine sabko dekhke tujhe maaf kardiya warna tujhe jitna peeta wo bhi kaam hain.

Daya: Haa haa peetlo, itne mahino mein iss mission pe iss gauo mein itni pitayi hui hain jitne CID ke pure career mein nahi hui.

Abhi :(laughs) hahaha.. (dekha maine teri pitai hui ya tune pita sabko)waise jitne logo ko tune yaha mara wo criminals the na?

Daya:(Smile nodding)Maine maara nahi, Inspector shinde Kolkata ke thandar wo milke the, criminal untak zinda pahuch jaate the.

Abhi : Main janta tha, Daya kisi nirdosh to kya ghuneghar ko bhi bina wajha nahi marta..(Daya smiles as Abhi strech his hands)Lekin maaza bohut aaya iss gauo mein.. bohut special raha ye guao, kitna suspencse raha ye mahine aur end acha hua.

Daya:(nodding) Haa sahi kaha boss, lekin abh yaha se jaana hoga. Kash yaha reh skate the.

Abhi : (sit straight glaring at Daya)Dekh maar khayega rukne ka socha to..

Daya: Waise nahi bol raha tha main... acha wo sab chodo ek baat batao..(Abhi take a sigh as he lay down again)ye Sachin aur Purvi ke beech kuch chalraha hain kya?

Abhi :(confused)Matlabh?

Daya: Matlabh.. wo yaar wo dono tumhare aur Tarika jaise behave kar rahe the..(confused)Matlabh wo dono aise kar rahe the jaise..

Abhi smirks at Daya words as Daya was struggling to speak forming exact words.

Abhi (lying on cot)Haa main samjhagaya..

Daya: To batao kya baat hain.

Abhi : Wo Sachin ko Purvi pasand hain.

Daya:(sitting with a jerk on his cot)Kya? (smiles)wahaaa..

Abhi :(Sad face)wahaa wali baat nahi hain(Daya looks at him confused as Abhi still lying on cot smirk's)Sachin ko to Purvi pasand hain lekin purvi kisi aur ko pasand kari hain aur sachin iss baat ko samjh nahi raha hain. (controlling his smile)pata nahi kaise samjhye usse.. waha bechari purvi ek saath kaam karne ke pressure se kuch keh bhi nahi pati.

Daya: Sachin itna samjhdar hain wo aise kaise?

Abhi : Wahi to, ek dum obsessives lover ki tarha behave kar raha hain, tumne notice kiya ki nahi jaan bhujkar purvi ka haath pakadta hain.

Daya: Kya?Sachin aisa karega ye expected nahi tha..

Abhi : Haa Kabhi Kabhi unexpected cheeze hojati hain na logo se, sachin se bhi wahi ho raha hain. Isliye main usse purvi se dur rakhne yaha apne saath leke aaya tha.

Daya was silent for a moment as Abhi raised his head from pillow and looked at him while Daya stared back at him.

Daya(suspiciously):Tum sach bol rahe ho Boss?

Abhi :(sit on cot)Aur nahi to kya? Main kyu jooth bolunga wo bhi meri phool jaisi bhen purvi ke baremein. Maine to samjhya hain sachin ko, pyaar se, dhamka ke, gusse se.. sab tarike se abh tum bhi try karo shayad samjh jaaye.

Daya: (nodding)Hmm, main baat karta hu kal usse..

Abhi :(Smiles)hmm(Daya stare as he make a serious face)waise (looks at Daya)shreya aur Siddharth saath..

Daya:(complete Abhi)Nahi hain..

Abhi : Tujhse kaise pata?

Daya: (stare at him)Pheli baar jab mila tha tabhi wo anguthi ka nishan dekh liya tha maine uski ungali mein.

Abhi (nodding): Ho...(smirking) isliye tumne apne pyaar ka(loudly as Daya looks around)alaan kardiya.

Daya:(looks around) Kya kar rahe ho Boss?

Abhi : (stand on his cot opening his arms)Are pyaar kiya to darna kya?

Daya:(throw a pillow at Abhi)Andar shreya so rahi hain.

Abhi : Ofho Majnu ko chitna horahi hain?(raise hi eyes as daya jerks his head)By the way meri bhen ne bohut papad bele hain tumhe dhune mein tumhe Daya sabit karne mein, isliye uska khayal rakhna.

Daya: (stare at Abhi for a minute)Tumhe nahi lagta tum kuch zyada bol rahe ho?

Abhi :(smiling)Zyada? main kuch bol hi nahi raha hu.. main to bas bata raha hu. Jis taraha se shreya ko khone ke dar se tumne sabke samne usse apne dil ki baat batadi ussi tarha se usse bhi kehdo(thinks for sometime as he sat down on cot)isse phele ki der hojaye.

Daya: (confused)Matlabh?

Abhi : Matlabh good night..(yawns)neend aarahi hain mujhe, abh kal baat karte hain bye bye..

Abhi cover himself with blanket dozing off to sleep while Daya stare at him then at sky with smiling face and smiles recollecting Shreya smiling face within the sky.    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Next day:

All the CID were standing inside the clinic waiting for shreya report as they kept talking while Daya was worriedly with Abhi beside him in the corner with gluing their eyes on shreya room door.

Salunke:(to Acp)ye inn dono aise kyu dekh rahe hain.

Acp jerks his head with Tarika coming out of the room smiling as Abhi slide and daya walks fastly towards her. All moves away seeing Abhi as he collides with Tarika and the file falls down. He hold Tarika by her shoulder as she smiles looking at him.

Daya stare at them then bend down and looks at the report try to study it along with other, salunke and acp were at the back of everyone as they wotness Abhirika lost in eachother eyes.

Salunke: (jerks his head looks at Acp)Pradyuman CID ko tale marle... tere dono sher pyaar mein pad chuke hain abh inse kaam nahi hoga.(Acp glares at him as he bites his lips)bas bol raha tha haha....

He wishels as Abhirika and others looks at him with Tarika standing as Abhi blushes. Salunke signal daya to give him the report.

Salunke : Shreya ke reports normal hain(All smiles as Daya looks at Abhirika)but..

Abhi :(Coming forward with annoyed face)Salunke sab ye aapki adath bohut buri hain.

Salunke:(staring at him)Kaunsi adaath huh?

Abhi: Har cheez mein ye apna but leke aajato.. but kya matlabh..

Salunke : (smirking making a round face with his hand as other smile hiding their laughter)tumhe buut ka matlabh nahi pata..

Abhi :(looking at his action hold his ears)shiiii shiii.. Bhagwan ka naam lene ki umar mein kaisi kaisi baatein kar rahe hain aap salunke sir.

Salunke:(irritated)Acp dekh samjha de apne bete ko(galring at Abhi)kaisi ochi baatein kar raha hain.

Abhi : (looks at Acp)sir, aap ne suna na maine kuch kaha ya shurwat inhone ki..

Salunke: Abhijeet dekho..

Daya brushes his hair getting nnoyed and turn to tarika while others were enjoying Abhi- salunke crispy fight after so long and Aco held his head in frustration.

Daya:(whispering) Kya kaha reports mein?

Tarika:(smiling) Shreya theek hain, bas usse aaram ki zarurath hain. To abhi usse mumbai lejana possible nahi hoga atleast 1 week tak, usse rest chaiye. 

Daya nodes as he thinks for something while Abhi - Salunke were still arguing.

Daya: (hesitating)Tarika.. wo usne kuch kaha?

Tarika:(confused) kis baremein?

Daya :(shaking his head in no)kuch nahi, aise hi..

Tarika was confused as Daya rub his hand togeather, she smiles at his nervousness and taps his shoulder.

Tarika : Waise wo abhi so rahi hain, tum dekhoge usse?

Daya smile slightly as she moves slowly with he sneaking inside her room and find her sleeping peacefully, His heart was beating fast with twilling feeling in his stomach as he slowly forward his hand and held her soft hand in his palm and feel her soft touch. He smiles looking at her moving a lock of her hair from her face to back of her ear as she fulltering open her eyes and stare at him.

Daya: Shreya..wo...

Shreya:(looks at their hands)Aap yaha kya kar rahe hain koi aagaya to?

Daya :(stop her)Shh!! koi nahi aayega.. (she was tring to get up as he held her by shoulder)Shreya dhayan se..

Shreya:(confused)Aap yaha kya kar rahe ho sir?

Daya:Wahi jo mujhe bohut phele karna chaiye tha.

Shreya:(her heart raising fast)Kya?

He slowly left her hand as she was staring at him, while he sat beside her with smiling and cup her face in his palm as she looks at him with rubbing his thump against her cheek.

Daya: I love you shreya.

She was stunned to hear him as she looks straight in to his eyes then jerks his head but he held her face again and lean closer to her.

Daya : Ye sapna nahi sach hain, i love you shreya.. I love you so much...Main abh iss baat ko aur nahi chupana chatein. Please mera yaaken karo..i..

Shreya:I love you too sir.. i love you..

He looks at her as she held his hands with tears in her eyes, he wipes them and both hug eachother. The feeling, the empathy, the lonely feeling which they had felt for so long was filled was now completed.

They were togeather forever and ever.. 

***************

Daya and Shreya were standing at a distance with Daya assumingly looking at the thing infront of him as shreya chuckled at his reaction.

Daya : Yeh kya hai! Ispe koi kaise baith sakta hai? Pagalpan hai yeh Shreya!

Daya managed to gulp out.. Now he was 100 percent sure Shreya has gone insane while she laughs out loud with his words.

Daya:(looked around)Who in their right minds did invent something like this?

Shreya : (laughing)Daya sir aap daar rahe hain?

Daya:(looks at her)Shreya, daar ki baat nahi hain lekin yeh kya hain?

Shreya : (still laughing)Sir, Aapke chehre pe saaf likha hai aapko kitna daar lag raha hain and dont worry Plus.. Yeh 100 percent safe hain. Kuch nahi hoga, trust me Sacchi. 

Daya : (rolling his eyes)Accha?Safety certificate kahaan hai? Belts tak nahi hai! Woh dekho! woh aadmi gir jaata abhi.

The cop, the brave cop who could jump off the building is now frightened by a ride while shreya wrapped her arms around his arm with looking at him.

Shreya : Nahi girne wala tha woh aadmi sir, Please please Daya sir mujhe baithna hai columbus pe.. Aap bhi chalo na mere saath.. bahot mazza aaega!

Shreya tried to convince him to take the ride with her as she loved such rides and had been taking them all her life while Daya looked up, again at the boat like structure that went to new heights every time it swinged sideways, and felt colour leach away from his face a little more.

Why did people feel the need to face death to enjoy? Couldn't they just go to a restaurant on a normal date? Why the bloody "Mela"?

He sighed and gave in, It was him after all.. Whatever Shreya wanted, he would always do for her as he promised to her.  As the start of their new relationship now he cannot denied her request.

He held his breathe as they went for the ride while she screamed her heart out and he held her hand tightly. She kept running around, one ride after the other. Lord forbid, some included water too.. And with every ride they took, Daya felt a bit more queasy by the end. But he held on.. on...and on. he held on her hand throughout the crowd, afraid, to lose her again.

She kept roaming around like little bubbly girl while he kept following her holding on to bags by bags silently. He enjoyed revering in her innocence as she struggled to keep the cotton candy from sticking around her lips. He gaze lingered on those now dark pink lips a bit more than it should have. How could he be blamed? 

They looked delectable. But there were too many people around them. And he couldn't just gather her in his arms and kiss her breathless, as much as he wanted to. So he sighed and just turned around gluping his breathe absorbed the view while she innocently smiling looked at him.

Abhirika were wrong who tipped him with shreya favorite things and her madness for them but that wasn't the truth she wasn't just mad for rides but she was mad for everything around. She was mad for those dumb balloon bursting pellet guns. She was mad for chana jor garam(peanuts).  She was mad for the soap bubbles. Hell, she was even mad for the oh-so-obvious fortune tellers. 

Yet, her madness gave him the feeling of teenagers dating and he loved for what she was, he kept smiling at her while she was sitting infront of the fortune teller.

FT : Khushiya hi khushiya ane wali hain zindagi mein.

Shreya smiled as she withdraw her hand as FT looked at her, she pulled Daya hand and streached infront of fortune teller.

Daya: Shreya tum dikhao, tumhe ye sab mein yakeen hain mujhe nahi.

Shreya: (keenly looking at him)Aur aapko kismein hain?

Daya:(staring at her)Tum mein...

She bite her lips with lowering her head as he shut his eyes again controlling his urge to wrap his arms around her, fortune teller held his hand and studied for a while then looked at Daya face.

FT: Bhaisab aap ki aane wale zindagi bohut ka....

Daya(interrupting): Abh aap kahoge ki mujhe koi pooja karwani hogi, ye tota koi rasi wala paata nikalega.

FT: lekin suniye to sahi.

Shreya looked at the fortune teller as Daya stare at him and laughed out loud with grabbing the bags.

Daya: Shreya chalo ghar chalte hain. Tumhari mom wait kar rahi hogi..

Shreya : Sir par ye..

Daya :(turned to her)Ye log aise hi karte hain, tu chalo.

He held her hand while she looked at the fortune teller back and they moved towards the snack station. Shreya was silent as Daya held her hand pulling her closer.

Daya: Iss Mele mein tum mujhe mein khone aayi thi  apne aapmein nahi.

Shreya : (Smiled)Daya sir, aap kitne badle badle lag rahe hain.

Daya smiled winking at her as she stared at him for a while and then looked around.

Daya: Kya khogi?

Shreya: Abhi nahi Daya sir,ek aur ride baki hain. 

Daya:(looked at her dibelief)Din mein ride mein meri jaan nikal gaayi abh tum mere saath kyu aise kar rahi ho?

Shreya : Daya sir, bas ek last ride.. Fir chal denge please.

Daya:(looking around)Raat ko kaunsi ride baaki hai Shreya? 

Shreye looked around and glanced at a ride, and looked back at Daya smiling and smirked. 

Shreya : Chaliye.

Daya followed shreya while they moved from within the crowd holding hands. Daya was frighted thinking about the ride in night time. The rides in this fair gave him the chills in broad daylight, what kind of a horror would it be in the dark.

Still, he followed Shreya. Slowly they came to halt infront of the biggest ride. The humongous Ferris Wheel! He seriously needed to do something about his attention span. Why had he not noticed this steel monster the whole evening?

Shreya brought the tickets while Daya kept looking at the whole circle moving round in round with his heart beating fast, she silently led his hand into line with getting into that cabin. 

The ferris wheel started to move, and all Daya could focus on was the altitude he was covering, and how far the ground started to look. She was speaking something, while he couldn't focus on.. He was just too scared, when she suddenly called out, more loud than he had ever heard her.

"Daya Sirrrrr!"

He jerked his head in her direction, for the first time taking his eyes away from the ground.

And that's when he got lost in her, The moon reflecting on her face made her look like she was a real heavenly creation. Her hairs tied in pony were flying in air while she kept smiling looking at him widening her eyes. Daya fear had disappeared while she smiled and moved leaned towards him, he was as spell bound in her beauty as he could get.

Daya:(thought himself)Itne salo tak kaise dur raha main shreya se?kaise?itna pyaar itna khubsurat rishta, itni khushi, itni saath. (look at the their palm holding on to eachother)kaise dur raha? Kaise, nahi abh aur nahi.

Shreya : Daya sir, mujhe hamesha se aapke saath ek aise date pe jaana tha, bilkul filmo wali. Mela mein ghumna ride enjoy karna cotton candy share karna and lastly aapke saath iss Freey wheel pe sabse upar iss chand ko dekhna karib se. Iss chand hamesha hamare saath raha hain na sir dekhiye aaj bhi humare saath hain.

Daya: I love you shreya, i love you so much, main tumhara saath kabhi kabhi nahi chodna chatein.

Shreya smiled as he lend his hands in hers while he perked on her hands which made her blush.

Dareya : Always & Forever.

The fortune teller looked at the sky with closing his eyes and mummering something.

FT :(open his eyes with sighing)Log sunte nahi, warna aane wali kitni cheezo ko tala jaa sakta hain.

He pack his stuff and leave.

Epilogue:

As everyone were settle in Haveli, Daya looked at Ansha happily arranging everything. He walked towards her as she smiled at him.

Ansha: Sab set hain Raghu..

Daya: Tumne bataya Abhijeet ko..?

Ansha: Maine kaha tum bohut ache dost ho aur lucky bhi,isliye sach ka pata lagna zaruri hain. (looked at him)mujhe yaad nahi aapni maa, jo bhi yaad hain ye gauo aur yaha ke log. Mere Raghu ne iss guao ke liye apni jaan dedi, main kisi aur ke saath kaise nainsafi hone deti wo bhi jab wo insaan tum ho.

Daya :(smiled)Thankyou.

Ansha : Thankyou se kaam nahi chalega, bas aise hi haste raho and bhul maat jaane hume yaha se jaake, samjhe??

She raised her eyes as he nodes with she immediately wrapping her arms around him and he smiling hugging her back. Kabir stare at them and feel uncomfortable seeing her sister with Daya.

Kabir: Ansha idhar aa..

Ansha break the hug and run towards kabir as Daya smiled at kabir possessiveness.
