DM: Mujhe maa mat bula. Tujhe is duniya mein lana bas ek galti thi, mujhe is bojh se chutkara chahiye tha jo mujhe mil gaya. Tujhe jo karna hai kar, mera koyi rishta nahi hai tere aur tere baap ke saath. Don't call me maa. Bringing you to this world was just a mistake, I had to get rid of the burden and I did. Whatever you do is your wish, I have no relations with you and your father.

Randeep was shocked by her words, unable to imagine what Daniel must be feeling.

Dan: Aapne sab kuch chupaya kyu? Kya mujhe kuch bhi jaan ne ka hak nahi tha? Agar mujhse peecha chudana hi tha toh mujhe bata toh diya hota, mai koyi umeed lekar nahi baitha hota idhar. Why did you hide everything? Didn't I deserve to know anything? If you wanted to get rid of me you could have at least said me, I wouldn't be sitting here in hope.

DM: Tu itna khaas nahi hai ki mai tujhse baat karne ko wakt nikalu. Aur jaha tak tere jaan ne ke hak ki baat hai, mai pehle hi bol chuki mera tujhse koyi naata nahi hai siwaye ek bojh ke jise mai peeche chod chuki, toh tera koyi hak nahi hai. Dobaara kabhi mujhse ya mere paiwaar se baat karne ki koshish mat karna. You aren't so special that I'll take out time to call you. And about deserving to know, I already said you are no one to me other than a burden left behind, so you don't deserve anything. Don't try contacting me or my family ever again.

The call was cut. His phone rang, the call was from the same number.

DSF: Sorry beta, mai maafi maangane ke alawa kuch nahi kar sakta aur mai janta hu mere sorry se kuch nahi hoga lekin ho sake toh please mujhe maaf kar dena. Meri bhagwaan se yahi praarthana hai ki tujhe apni zindagi mein khushi aur kamyaabi mile. I am really sorry dear, I can't do anything more than apologizing and I know my sorry won't help but please forgive me if you can. I'll pray to god that you have success and happiness in life.

Dan: Kisliye maaf karu aapko? Mere mummy papa hai jinhone... nahi, mummy papa nahi. Dono ne keh diya unka mujhse koyi rishta nahi. Aur khushi? Pehle hi mujhe woh dard mil chuka jo zindagi bhar mein khatam nahi hoga. Forgive you for what? It is my parents who... actually no, not my parents. Both of them said they have no relations with me. And happiness? I already got pain that won't end in my entire lifetime. 

DSF: Kaash mai tumhari koyi madad kar paata, lekin mai majboor hu. Sorry. I really wish I could do something to help you, but I am helpless. I am sorry. 

And the call was cut. Randeep came out of the shock and came to Daniel. He was thankful that he was here, Daniel couldn't face this alone. 

Dan: Mujhe call karna hi nahi chahiye tha. Baat aur bigad gayi. I shouldn't have called him. Things just got worse. 

Randeep: Nahi Daniel, tune call karke acha kiya. Dard de raha hai par yahi sach hai. Aaj nahi toh kal saamne aana hi tha. No Daniel, it is good you called. It hurts, but it is the truth. You had to find out one day, if not today then tomorrow. 

Dan: Maine call se pehle kaha tha is sabko apne upar koyi asar nahi karne dunga. Before the call I said I won't let it affect me. 

He looked up, finally meeting Randeep's eyes. 

Dan: Par ab mai nahi janta ki aage kya karu. Aise lag raha hai jaise ab khudko kabhi sambhaal hi nahi paunga. But I don't know what to do anymore. I feel like I will ever be able to handle myself now.

Randeep: Tu akela nahi hai Dan, mai hu, Bhavesh, Sid, bhai sab hai idhar tere liye. Aur abhi aisa lag raha hoga lekin tu aage badh payega is sab se. You are not alone Dan, I am here, Bhavesh, Sid, bhai everyone is there for you. And it may feel like this right now but you will get over it. 

Dan: Acha hua ki Robert ne mujhe accept nahi kiya, tum sabko bhi jana chahiye, mushkil hogi par yuh bhi sab khatam ho chuka mere liye, ab mai kisi aur ka mujhe chodna bardasht nahi kar sakunga. It is good Robert didn't accept me, you all should also go, it will be difficult but everything ended for me anyways, now I can't take anyone else leaving me. 

Randeep: Koyi kahi nahi ja raha hai, hum sab tere saath hai, humesha. Aur kuch bhi khatam nahi hua hai. No one is going anywhere, we all are with you, always. And nothing has ended. 

He realised Daniel isn't listening anything, he had zoned out completely. The entire night passed away like this, just that Daniel didn't speak a single word after this. Randeep saw it was time for breakfast. 

Randeep: Daniel, kya mai Bhavesh aur Siddharth ko sab kuch bata sakta hu? Daniel, can I tell Bhavesh and Sid everything? 

Daniel looked at him before looking away like he never said anything. After few minutes he nodded. 

Randeep: Mai aata hu. I'll be back. 

He went out. 

Bhav: Tu abhi tak tayar nahi hua? You didn't get ready yet? 

Randeep: Mai aaj nahi ja raha. I'm not going today. 

Bhav: Kyu? Aur Daniel nahi aaya abhi tak? Why? And Daniel didn't come yet? 

Randeep: Mai tujhe detail mein bata dunga sab tere lautne ke baad lekin Daniel ki tabiyat thik nahi hai toh wo apne kamre mein hi hai. Mai bas humara nashta lene aaya hu. I'll tell you in detail once you return but Daniel is not feeling well so he is in his room itself. I just came to take our breakfast. 

Bhav: Hmm. Mai usse mil sakta hu ek baar? Hmm. Can I meet him once? 

Randeep: Mujhe nahi lagta... Actually mai tujhe pareshan nahi karna chahta tha kyunki phir tera dhyaan idhar hi rehta saare din par... I'm not too sure...Actually I didn't want to worry you because you would be distracted the entire day but... 

He said him everything. 

Randeep: Tabse woh hosh mein nahi hai. Kuch der tak bolta raha phir bilkul chup ho gaya. Uske baad se usne bas ek reaction diya apna sir hilakar jab maine usse pucha ki tujhe aur Sid ko sab kuch bata sakta hu kya. Ab mujhe jana chahiye, mai use zyada der akele nahi chod sakta. Since then he isn't in his senses. For few minutes he kept speaking then went completely quiet. After that the only reaction he gave was nodding few minutes back when I asked him if I can tell you and Sid everything. I should go now, I can't leave him alone for long. 

Bhav: Thik hai. Mai Sid se baat karu? Ok. Should I talk to Sid? 

Randeep: Mai kar lunga agar woh Daniel ko call karta hai. Mai use call nahi karna chahta kyunki hume ni pata hota ki waha kya chal raha hai. I'll do if he calls Daniel. I don't want to call him because we never know what's happening there. 

Bhavesh nodded. Randeep took the breakfast and went to Daniel's room. He hadn't moved at all since since Randeep left. 

Randeep: Daniel, tujhe kuch kha lena chahiye. Daniel, you should eat something. 

He sighed on receiving no response. He held Daniel's arm, taking his attention. 

Randeep: Kab tak yu shock mein rahega tu? Baat kar mujhse, apne emotions ko feel kar, unhe jata. Kuch bhi feel na karna bahut aasan sa raasta lagega, par woh hai nahi. Sab kuch apne andar mat kaid kar. Till when will you remain in this state of shock? Talk to me, feel your emotions, express them. Feeling nothing might feel an easy escape, but it is not. Don't cage it all within yourself. 

Daniel was just looking at him until few minutes later he broke down crying. After sometime his tears stopped.

Dan: Aisa lagta hai jaise mera poora existence bas ek jhoot ban kar reh gaya hai. Mujhe janam dene waale zinda hote hue bhi mai anath ban gaya. Mai bas ek bojh hu. Nahi banna mujhe bojh. It feels like my entire existence has become a lie. Despite my birth givers being alive I became an orphan. I am just a burden. I don't want to be a burden.

Randeep: Tu koyi bojh nahi hai, balki tu toh bahut so ki khushi ki wajah hai. Woh tujhe is duniya mein laye hoge, par maa baap toh wahi hote hai na jo hume bada kare, humara khayal rakhe. Woh tere liye kabhi nahi the, unhone tujhe bada nahi kiya, unhe kabhi teri chinta nahi thi. Aur unhone hi tujhe yaha khatre mein choda tha, yeh jaante hue bhi ki woh gang tujhe kuch bhi kar sakta tha. You are not a burden, you are the reason behind the happiness of many. They might have brought you to this world, but the one who grows us up is our parent, the one who cares for us is our parent. They were never there for you, they didn't grow you up, they were never bothered about you. Not to forget they left you here in danger, despite knowing the gang may do anything to you.

Randeep made him drink water.

Randeep: Ab jab unhone tujhse rishte tod hi diye hai toh woh jeete hai ya marte hai koyi maaine nahi rakhta. Tune khud apna ek parivaar bana liya hai, jo tujhe pyaar bhi karta hai aur tera khayal bhi rakhta hai. Wakt aur koshish lagegi, par tujhe aage badhna hoga Dan, tere paas bahut jan hai tera sahara banne ke liye. Now that they broke relations with you, whether they are alive or dead doesn't matter. You have created your own family, who loves you, cares for you. It will take time and effort, but you have to move on Dan, you have many people to support you.

His words put Daniel to thoughts. Randeep made him have breakfast, he didn't deny to eat as he was still thinking over his words.
