After 1 week.

In this one week everyone grew bond with each other. They all sent almost full day with each other except for Ashi as she always to be with Aayush or lost in her old world. All find it werried but most amazed person was Preeti. Yet they all become inseparable in such a small period of time. Today all were going out for Mumbai darshan and the good thing is Aayush and Deepika will also join them. Right know all were at Ashi's house as they were having lunch together.

Swapreeshi were in kitchen making lunch and other girls were helping them by cutting vegies and other stuff. While the boys were cleaning the mess they have created an hour ago with with Deepika and Aayush. 

In kitchen.

Preeti : yaar  Swati tu khana kab se bana rahi hai?

Swati : kyu acha nahi banati kya? 

Preeti : nahi bahut acha banati hai yaar tu toh. Main toh isliye puch rahi thi kyuki pehle toh tu kitchen ke naam se hi bur bhagti thi tu. 

Ashi : zindagi mein kuch aisa ho jata hai ki jo chiz nahi pasand wahi karna padta hai. 

Preeti : huh... yeh kya bol rahi hai tu. 

Swati : kuch nahi re wo toh aise hi kuch bhi bolti hai. 

Preeti : (still not convinced) thik hai par mere sawal ka jawab toh de ki khana ka bana sikhi tu?

Swati : wo bas socha ki cooking mein aisa kya hai ki mom baar baar bolti rehti hai sikhne ke liye toh ghus gai kitchen mein aur banane lagi khana phir pata chal bahut maza aata hai phir tab se main khana banti hu. 

Preeti : ohh... (to Ashi ) waise Ashi uncle aunty kaha hai? aur kab aa rahe hai haya? 

Hearing this Swati stop doing her work and Ashi was numb. Her whole body turn cold, colour from her face drain out. Preeti was back facing her so she didn't saw her expression changing. Swati was worried for Ashi's reaction. Not getting answer of her question she again asked her. 

Preeti : bata na kab aa rahe hai uncle anuty? Aayu aur tu bahut miss karte hoge na unhe? Unhe bolna ki maine bahut miss kiya hai un dono ko in saalo mein. Ab bas jaldi se aa jaye.

Saying this she turn to face Ashi and Swati. She saw Swati was very tensed and Ashi was standing there with teary eyes. Her lips were shivering. Seeing her any one can say that her dam will brake soon.

Preeti : kya hua??

Before she could complete her sentence Ashi run away crying. In living room where all others were sitting and talking about random stuff saw Ashi running in full speed followed by Swapree. She went inside her room and locked it.  All were confused where as Mundit were hell scared cause they knew why she run away like this. They all go towards her room and Mundit started banging the door.

Munna : Minnie bacha darwaza khol.

Pandit : haa bacha please humein dar lag raha hai.

Fortunately Aayush and Deepika were in his room watching new cartoon movie with headphones on so they can't hear outside noise.

Preeti : koi mujhe kuch batayega ki yeh kya ho raha hai??

Swati : hum log tujhe sab kuch batayege. Par pehle hum log Ashi ko dekhte hai. Wo jayada jaruri hai. (To Pandit) Pandit jaa jaldi mere room se yeh room ki spare ki leke aa. Wo right side ke first drawer mein rakhi hai.

Pandit : haa abhi laya.

He went and quickly brought the keys. They open the door and the scene they saw left them horried. Ashi was sitting in a corner clutching her parents frame and crying terrible she was shivering.  Swamundit runn to her were as all were just frozen on their places. Most shocked was Preeti, she have never saw her like this. Swati sit down and took her in er emberance. Mundit were standing the helpless. They were not able to see her in this condition but can't do anything except for waiting.

Swati hold her protectively in her arms and took her to bed and make her lay on the bed with her head in her lap. She signal them to go outside and sit she will handle her. All along with Mundit went in the living room. All started to question Mundit.

Jai : yeh Ashi ko kya hua??

Auv : wo thik toh haina??

Vaish : wo aise ro kyu rahi thi?

Jaan : aap dono kuch toh bolo.

Boys : kuch toh bolo tum log.

Munna : ek baar Minnie thik hai pata chal jaye uske baad mein tum logo ko sab kuch bata dunga. Abhi wo sabse jayada important hai.

Ran : Bhai mein doctor ko bulau.

Pandit : nahi Deep Swati usse sambhal legi. Usse pata hai Ashi ko kaise handle karna hai.

Anu : iska matlab yeh sab pehli baar nahi hua hai?

Jaan : Usse kuch hua hai kya??

Abhi : abhi Munna ne bolana ki wo baad mein sab kuch batayega toh kyu wapas se puch rahe ho?? Thodi der shanti rakho tum sab log aur betho. Aur koi ek jaao aur bacho ko dekho ki unhe kuch chahiye toh nahi. Wo bahar aaye toh samajh jayege ki kuch gadbad hui hai.

Vaish : thik hai toh Main aur jaan bacho ke pass jate hai.

She and jaan went to Aayush's room. All were sitting when they hear a sweet melodious voice from Ashi's room.

In Ashi's room.

Sawti was trying to clam Ashi down. She was telling sweet thinks in her ears, rubbing her back, kissing her forehead multiple times. But nothing was helping at last she started the lullaby that Rama use to sing for her.

Swati : {Lori lori lori} x (4)
Chandaniya chhup jana re
Chhan bhar ko luk jana re
Nindiya aankhon mein aaye
Bitiya meri so jaaye
Nindiya aankhon mein aaye
Bitiya meri so jaaye
Leke goad mein sulaaoon
Gaoon raat bhar sunaoon
Main lori lori, ho main lori lori

Slowly Ashi went into deep slumber. At last Swati kiss her forehead and carefully keep her head on the pillow and cover her from duvet and went outside not before again kissing her forehead.

That's it for today.
