Nothing was like before as the truth came out in front of everyone. Maya was already disappointed from Parth now she went against the marriage too.

"Mujhe yeh shaadi manjoor nehi hain." Maya said firmly.

"But why mom? Sirf iss liye ke Roja high society se belong nehi karti yeah phir iss liye ke wo christian hain? Aap aur dad vi toh aalag aalag cast se belong karte thay na!" Parth said impatiently.

"Baat status yeah phir religion ki nehi hain Parth, baat hain uss ladki ke past ki. Aur jiss ladki ki past itna ghilona ho main uss ladki se aapne bete ki shaadi nehi kar sakti." Maya said sternly.

"Kaisa ghilona past maasi? Keya usne chori kiya hain yeah phir daka dala hain? Aap toh aaise baat kar rahi hain jaise wo underworld se belong karti hain!" Randhir said became frustrated.

"Rono yeh keya tarika hain bado se baat karne ka! Maafi mango Maya se." Renuka said angrily.

"I'm sorry mom but mujhe nehi lagta ke maine kuch galat kaha hain. Aagar sabko Roja ki bar singer hone se problem hain then what about me jo uss bar par har roz jata tha?" Randhir said in an icy cold voice.

"According to maasi Roja have a dark past cause she was a bar singer then what about me? I went that bar also that means I have a dark past too, then why don't you people disown me!" Randhir said furiously.

"Randhir bar mein jana aur bar singer hone mein bahut difference hain. Koi vi sarif ladki bar mein gaana nehi gaati." Maya said coldly.

"Ohh yes, according to our society ek sarif ladki bar mein gaana nehi gaati lekin according to the same society sarif ladke bar mein drink jarur kar sakte hain! I mean ek bechari needy ladki aapni aur aapni family ki survive ke liye bar mein gaana gaye toh phir wo ghatiya aur jo ladke uss par gandi nazar daalte hain wo sarif! What a logic maasi!" Randhir said in a sarcastic way.

"Mujhe nahi uss ladki mein koi interest hain aur nahi uski family history janne mein! Main bass itna janti hu ke uss ladki se Parth ki shaadi nehi ho sakti and that's final." Maya said in an icy cold voice.

"Maasi ji if you don't mind main kuch bol sakti hu?" Sanyukta asked suddenly.

"Main kuch mind karne wali koyn hoti hu Sanyukta! Jab mera beta hi mere against bol raha hain toh phir main kisi aur ko rokne wali koyn hoti hu?" Maya said sadly.

"Maasi ji I know Roja aapki status ki nehi hain lekin main vi toh middle class family se belong karti hu. Aagar aap sab mujhe accept kar sakti hain toh phir Roja ko kyu nehi?" Sanyukta asked politely.

"Sanyukta maybe tum high society se belong nehi karti ho lekin tum jaha se belong karti ho waha par log sabse jyada importance aapne 'izzat' ko dete hain aur humare liye vi aagar kuch important hain toh phir wo hain izzat. Aur main ek aaisi ladki ko aapne khandan ki bahu nehi bana sakti jiski koi izzat hi na ho and that's my final decision." Maya said adamantly.

"Toh phir aap vi mera decision sun lijiye mom, aagar Roja meri zindegi mein nehi aayegi toh phir mere zindegi mein koi aur vi nehi aayegi and that's my final decision." Parth said determinedly and before anyone could say anything he left the mansion next.

"Vardhan arrange the tickets, we are leaving for USA as soon as possible. Yeha par rahega toh phir Parth uss ladki ko kabhi bhula nehi payega." Maya said coldly and left from there too.

Parth's car was roaming around the city aimlessly when he came to the marine drive and stopped his car. He came out from the car and sat down on a rock. He looked around and saw some couple there who came there to spend some quality time with their loved ones. Suddenly he felt lonely and alone. He felt like he was alone in this big world and the feelings made his eyes moist.

                               * * * * * * * * *

Roja entered at the house and sat down on the couch. Her eyes were moist and heart was full with agony. She remembered Parth's painful plea when tears rolling down from her eyes.

"I'm sorry sir but I don't have any option. Bola tha na ke koi nehi manega. After all I'm cursed. Jisse vi pyar karti hu wo chhin jata hain mujhse!" She said in her mind.

"Aah gayi beta, keya kaha boyfriend ne kab aah raha hain aapne girlfriend se milne?" Granny asked playfully thus Roja wiped her tears quickly and forced a smile.

"Actually wo sir ke parents aaye hain toh phir wo thoda busy hain. Bahut din baad mile hain na unnse." Roja gave an excuse.

"Achchha yeh toh bahut achchhi baat hain. Aur phir aab toh Peter vi wapas aane wala hain toh phir double celebration hoga. Tum boyfriend ke saath saath Randhir ko vi invite karna, usse vi bahut din se nehi mili hu saath mein celebrate karenge." Granny said happily when Roja forced a smile.

"Umm wo granny actually sir ke parents unhen wapas le jane ke liye aaye hain toh phir sir aabhi bahut busy hain packing aur dusre cheeso mein. But unhone kaha hain ke girlfriend se bolna tension mat kare jane se pehele wo aapse milne jarur aayenge. After all aapne girlfriend se mile bina wo jaa thodi na sakte hain!" Roja said when granny's face became brighten.

"Maine kaha tha na beta ke bahut achchha ladka hain. Ek bass tum hi ho jo mere boyfriend ko humesha bura bhala bolti ho! Next time sorry bolna boyfriend ko." Granny eyed her when Roja smiled.

"Aab toh zindegi bhad main unse mill nehi sakti granny toh phir maafi kaise mangungi?" Roja said in mind when smiled sadly.

"Sure granny. Okay main fresh hoke aati hu phir saath mein lunch banayenge." Roja forced a smile and went inside the washroom. She turned on the tap and splashed some water on her face when her tears mixed with the water.

Lie lie, everything was just a lie. She gave granny false hope but what about her heart which is beating for him only. Her mind screamed as it's want an answer but she know that she can't get the answer. Never ever.

                              * * * * * * * * *

The whole day passed but Parth didn't come back. Renuka became restless with each passing second. She called Parth several times but each time the phone went unanswered. At night everyone came for the dinner when Parth was still missing.

"Parth aabhi tak ghar wapas nehi aaya hain. Uska phone vi nehi laag raha hain. Mujhe bahut tension ho rahi hain." Renuka said worriedly.

"Aapne uski girlfriend ke ghar call kiya jiji, am sure Parth wohi par hain." Maya said coldly.

"Parth waha par nehi hain maasi, I know him. Wo kabhi aapna promise nehi todta, chahe uska dil hi kyu na tute." Randhir said sternly.

"But I can't believe that girl. Jo ladki bass kuch hi dino mein mere bete ko mere against kar sakti hain wo kuch vi kar sakti hain!" Maya said sternly.

"Maya this is not the right time for discussing all this. Aagar Parth jaldi wapas nehi aaya then we should inform the police." Vardhan said worriedly.

"I think you are right Vardhan, call the police warna dono shaadi karke aah jayenge humara aashirbad lene." Maya said bitterly.

"Uski koi jarurat nehi hain mom." Came a voice from behind thus everyone looked back and saw Parth stood at the door step.

"Don't worry mom maine bhaag kar shaadi nehi kiya hain." Parth said coming inside.

"Parth kaha thay tum pure din? Kitna call kiya ek ka vi answer nehi diya tumne! Pata hain kitni tension ho raha tha hum sabko!" Renuka said went near him.

"Kaha thay pure din, uss ladki ke saath? Maine mana kiya tha na tumhe!" Maya said angrily.

"Don't worry mom main Roja ke saath nehi tha. Usne dad ko promise kiya hain ke wo mere life se dur chali jayegi toh phir main uska promise kaise tod sakta hu! I can break my heart but not her promise." Parth smiled sadly.

"Toh phir kaha thay saara din? Pata hain kitna tension ho raha tha hume?" Vardhan asked in a firm voice.

"Red Rose bar dad. Socha waha jane se maybe mera aur Roja ka standard same ho jaye!" Parth replied when everyone there became shocked to listening this.

"Achchha toh phir sharab pike aaye ho! Bass yehi baki rahe geya tha aab! Uss ladki ne pura badbad karke rakh diya hain tumhe!" Maya said went near him when Parth smiled sadly.

"Bahut try kiya mom peene ki, socha peene ke baad shayed main uski class ka ban jayunga, lekin nehi pee saka. Pata hain kyu? Ussi classless ladki ki wajase. Jane se pehele usne mujhe aapna kasam diya tha taki main sharab ko haat na lagau. Aab bataiye koyn hain classless, wo yeah phir main?" Parth asked gulping hard.

"Dekha jiji aapne, kaise sirf 2 hi din mein uss ladki ne aapna saara zeher iss mein daal diya hain! Mujhe toh pata hi nehi tha ke mere bete ke muh mein jawan vi hain! Jo ladka bado ke samne baat karne se sharmata tha aaj wo ek ladki ki wajase aapne parents se jawan lada raha hain!" Maya said in disbelief.

"Kyu mom galat keya kaha maine? Aagar bar mein gaana gaane se wo characterless ho sakti hain toh phir bar mein jane ke baad main characterless kyu nehi ho sakta? Why this society is always judging a girl only? Why?" Parth asked loudly.

"Yeh tum nehi uss ladki ke liye tumhara pyar bol raha hain. Aur jab tak tum yeha par ho yeh drama aaisa hi chalta rahega. So pack your bag we are going to USA in next flight." Maya said firmly.

"Aap keya samajhti hain mom aap aagar mujhe yehase dur le jayengi toh phir main usse bhul jayunga! No never, aaisa sochiye ga vi mat." Parth said bitterly.

"Enough Parth, enough of your nonsense. You can't talk to your mom like that. Your mom is right, jarurat se jyada chhut diya hain humne tumhe issi liye itna bigad gaye ho tum. But enough is enough now. Jaisa ke Maya ne kaha hain pack your bag we are leaving as soon as possible." Vardhan said angrily.

"Aare pehele usse khana toh kha lene do, bhukha hoga bechara. Parth chalo pehele khana kha lo." Renuka said with care.

"Thanks badi mom but aab bhukh nehi hain. Itna sab kuch toh khila diya sabne. Mom ka daat, dad ka gussa, pet bhad geya hain!" Parth said sarcastically when Maya slapped him hard.

"Maya yeh keya kar rahi ho?" Renuka asked shockingly.

"Mujhe yeh bahut pehele hi karna chahiye tha jiji toh phir aaj yeh din dekhna nehi padta!" Maya said coldly.

"Wow perfect dessert mom, just great. Thank you guys for the wonderful dinner. Thank you very much." Parth said gulping down own pain and went to his room.

"Parth wait, Parth ruk!" Randhir said when followed him next. He came to Parth's room and saw him punching on the wall hard.

"Parth keya kar raha hain, pagal ho geya hain keya!" Randhir said holding his hand.

"Haan haan pagal ho geya hu main! I wish ke main marr jau toh phir shayed innki izzat baach jaye!" Parth said in a broken voice.

"Shut up Parth or else I'll slap you too." Randhir said angrily.

"Bass bahut ho geya, main kaal hi tum dono ka court marriage karwa deta hu, phir dekhta hu ke koyn keya karta hain! Jyada se jyada keya property nehi denge na, I don't care tu aur Roja yehi rahega humare saath." Randhir said adamantly when Parth smiled sadly.

"Even I also don't care Randhir but Roja will be not agree. Maine court marriage ke ware mein usse pehele hi kaha tha but usne mana kar diya. Uska kahena hain ke aagar yeh shaadi hogi toh phir sabke marzi se hogi warna nehi." Parth said in a broken voice.

"Roja is right Parth. Aagar family ke against jake tum dono shaadi karoge toh phir gharwale kabhi Roja ko accept nehi karenge." Sanyukta said coming inside.

"Aab tum please phirse aapna moral aur value par lecture dena suru mat karna! Dekh liya unhen follow karne ka natiza! They both are in pain. I just can't believe ke maasi ne Parth par haat uthaya! I wish Parth vi mere jaisa rebel hota!" Randhir said furiously.

"Bass bahut ho geya hain, aab tum dono jau yeha se." Renuka said entered with the dinner.

"Sanyukta tum dono ka dinner maine room mein bhej diya hain, jake kha lo." Renuka said kept the tray on the table.

"Ji maa." Sanyukta said and gesture Randhir to go and they left next when Renuka go and sat beside Parth.

"Beta kha lo, I know tumne pura din kuch nehi khaya hoga." Renuka said when Parth hugged her next.

"I love her badi mom. I can't live without her, please try to understand." Parth said when broke down into tears.

"I understand beta but main karu toh keya karu! After all Maya tumhari maa hain." Renuka said caressing his back.

"Badi mom aap sab bass itna jante ho ke Roja was a bar singer. But usse yeh job kyu karna pada yeh kisine socha ek baar!" Parth said in between his tears.

"Uski parents nehi hain aapni granny aur chhote bhai ke saath raheti hain. Aur uska chhota bhai cancer patient hain badi mom aur ussi ki treatment ke liye Roja ko wo job karni padi toh phir iss mein galat keya hain?" Parth asked looking at Renuka.

"Badi mom wo bahut achchhi hain, dil ki saaf hain, sabka bahut kheyal rakhti hain. And you know what is the best part of her wo kabhi credit vi nehi leti. Randhir aur Sanyukta ke relation jodne mein uska utna hi credit hain jitna mera. In fact jo kuch vi kiya usne hi kiya, maine toh bass uska kahena mana. Keya inn sabke baad wo ek chance deserve nehi karti badi mom? Ek chance aapne aap ko prove karne ki?" Parth asked eagerly.

"Okay main dekhti hu ke main keya kar sakti hu lekin tum pehele khana khao." Renuka said with care.

"Promise badi mom?" Parth asked hopefully.

"Pakka promise." Renuka smiled brightly and started feeding him lovingly but she knows very well that it's not easy to convince Maya to accept Roja. So she thought something else so that Maya become ready to accept this marriage and Roja too wholeheartedly.

                               * * * * * * * * *

Maya didn't get agree as Renuka tried to convince her and decided to left the country as soon as possible. Randhir heard everything and thought to talk with Roja once. So next day he went to Roja's house at early morning. Granny became surprised to saw him as well as happy too.

"Aare Randhir tum, kaise ho?" Granny asked when Randhir nodded positively.

"Am fine granny." Randhir replied.

"Itni subha subha! Koi kaam tha keya?" Granny asked surprisingly.

"Haan granny wo office ka kuch important kaam discuss karna hain issi liye itna subha aana pada." Randhir replied slowly.

"Tum aur Parth dono bhai ek dam same, sirf kaam aur kaam." Granny said casually and called Roja. Roja became surprised to saw Randhir there but kept mum.

"Tumse kuch important baat karni hain, aandar jake baat kar sakte hain?" Randhir asked slowly.

"Haan beta usse room mein le jau main coffee banati hu." Granny said and left when they came to Roja's room.

"Randhir tum yeha par, sab kuch thik toh hain na! Sir thik toh hain na?" Roja asked worriedly.

"Tumhe usse keya! Do you really care for him? Do you really love him? Parth jiye yeah marre tumhe usse keya!" Randhir said sternly.

"Please don't say like that Randhir. I do care for him, I love him." Roja said gulping hard.

"Really you love Parth, tabhi usse aaise saza de rahi ho wo vi bina kisi galti ke!" Randhir said coldly.

"Main koyn hoti hu saza dene wali, aare saza toh mujhe mila hain, pyar karne ka saza!" Roja's eyes became moist.

"Aagar saach mein tum Parth se pyar karti ho toh phir usse dur mat jau aur nahi usse aapne aap se dur jane do. Maasi aur uncle usse USA wapas le jane wale hain, rok lo usse." Randhir said when Roja became froze to heard this.

"Tumhe shayed nehi pata ke Parth ka keya haal hain tumhare bina. Na kuch khata hain nahi peeta hain, sirf roo raha hain. Please usse aaise aakele mat chhodo wo marr jayega." Randhir said when tears rolling down from Roja's eyes.

"Look maine Parth se court marriage ki baat kiya hain aur wo ready hain tumse court mein shaadi karne ke liye, tum bass chalo mere saath." Randhir said holding her hand and about to go when Roja stopped him.

"No Randhir it's not possible. Maine sir se vi kaha tha aur aab tumse vi bol rahi hu main sabke against jake sir se court marriage nehi kar sakti." Roja said firmly.

"Sabki chinta hain tumhe sivaye Parth ke! Ek baat batao jab Parth se pyar karte waqt kisike ware mein nehi socha toh phir shaadi karte waqt kyu soch rahi ho?" Randhir asked furiously.

"Socha tha, mana vi kiya tha sir ko but unhone kaha tha ke wo aapne family ko mana lenge. Lekin unki family nehi mane. Aur iss mein unki koi galti nehi hain Randhir, koi vi maa-baap aapne bete ki shaadi ek bar singer se kyu karenge?" Roja said in between her tears.

"Bar singer, really!" Randhir said surprisingly. "Yes I agree ke tum kabhi ek bar singer thi lekin tumhara identity sirf yehi nehi hain. Tum Roja D'souza ho, Parth Kashysp ki private secretary. Not only an employee but a member of Shekhawat family too." Randhir said firmly.

"Toh phir keya huya Randhir, aaj mera identity chahe kuch vi ho main ekdin bar singer thi aur yeh kalank mera picha kabhi nehi chhodega. Marrte dam tak mere saath rahega. Isse toh achchha main marr jau." Roja said in a gloomy voice.

"Just shut up okay. Maut mazak lagta hain tum dono ko hain na! Udhar Parth marne ki baat kar raha hain aur idhar tum! Selfish ho tum dono, kabhi humare ware mein socha hain! Hum jo tumse pyar karte hain unka keya hoga tum dono ke bina?" Randhir said angrily when Roja was crying continuously.

"Roja zindegi bahut chhoti hain toh phir ek galti ko zindegi se badh kar mat dekho. Aur phir wo toh koi galti tha vi nehi, majboori thi wo tumhari. Peter ki treatment ke liye tumhe uss bar mein singer ki job lena pada iss mein kuch galat nehi hain. Meri baat mano chalo mere saath, ek baar tumhari shaadi Parth se ho gayi toh phir sab tumhe accept kar lenge, dekhna tum." Randhir said confidently.

"No Randhir I can't. Main aaise chupke se shaadi nehi kar sakti jaise ke koi crime ho. Main Parth sir se shaadi tabhi karungi jab unke parents iss shaadi ke liye raazi honge warna nehi." Roja said determinedly.

"You know what kisi ne saach kaha hain ke tum ladkiyo ko koi nehi samajh sakta. But aagar yehi tumhari zid hain toh phir kahi tumhari zid ke aage Parth ka pyar na haar jaye! But tumhe usse keya, tumhe toh Parth se jyada aapna zid pyara hain. Chahe tumhare zid ke liye kisiki jaan hi kyu na chali jaye! But one thing I'll make sure Miss Roja D'souza ke main aapne bhai ko marrne nehi dunga. Parth aapni zindegi jiyega aur khushi khushi jiyega, tumhare saath yeah phir tumhare bina." Randhir said furiously and left from there next when Roja rushed to the washroom and broke down under the shower.

                                * * * * * * * * *

Randhir came back to the mansion and told Parth everything when Parth went to his room silently. Parth went to the silent mode after that day when both Randhir and Sanyukta tried hard to cheer him up but failed terribly. He stopped going to the office so that Roja don't have to face him anymore and her promise won't be break when Roja also give the resignation but Harsh told her that she has to give notice one month before or else her resignation can't be accepted thus she became agreed helplessly. The week passed quickly and finally the day came when Maya and Vardhan all set to take back Parth along with them.

"Think once again Maya. Parth koi bachcha nehi hain, usse aagar uski marzi ke khilaf le jayogi toh phir thik nehi hoga." Renuka said worriedly.

"Bahut kar liya Parth ne aapni manmaani jiji bass aab aur nehi. Aagar main pehele hi strict hoti toh phir wo bigadta hi nehi but better late than never. Main janti hu ke mere bete ki bhalai kiss mein hain and honestly jiji uss ladki ke saath Parth ka koi future nehi hain." Maya said firmly.

"Parth uss ladki se bahut pyar karta hain Maya, wo uske bina khush nehi rahe payega." Renuka tried one last time.

"Uss ladki se milne se pehele vi toh Parth khush raheta tha na, toh phir uske bina vi khush rahega. Aap dekhna jiji bass yehase jane ki der hain, Parth bass 2 din mein uss ladki ko bhula dega." Maya said confidently.

"But Maya!" Renuka was still not convinced.

"Please jiji aap mujhe mat rokiye. I know you care for Parth but main vi uski maa hu koi dushman nehi." Maya said shutting Renuka's mouth.

Everyone became ready for go to the airport but Parth doesn't come down thus Maya send a maid to call him when she came back and said that Parth wasn't in his room.

"Room mein nehi hain toh phir kaha hain?" Maya asked curiously.

"Aare ghar mein hi kahi hoga, bulao usse airport jane ka time ho geya hain." Renuka said to the maid thus she went but didn't found Parth anywhere. Everyone became tensed and looking for Parth but didn't found him at the mansion when the watchman informed that Parth already left the mansion thus everyone became shocked to heard this.

"Yeh jarur uss ladki ka plan hain, ussi ne mere Parth ko manipulate kiya hain am sure about it." Maya said furiously.

"Tum bina saach jane aaise kaise bol sakti ho Maya! Ho sakta hain ke jane se pehele Parth aakhri baar uss ladki se milne geya hain." Renuka said thoughtfully.

"Aagar aaisa hain toh phir main vi ek baar uss ladki se milna chahati hu jiji." Maya said firmly.

                                * * * * * * * * *

Roja was laying on her room and was looking blankly at the ceiling. Parth will leave the country tonight and she can't able to meet with him for the rest of her life, the realisation made her heart wrench in pain. She was lost in her thoughts when the door bell rings. She get up and opened the door and became stunned to saw Maya in front of her along with Vardhan, Renuka, Harsh and Randhir too.

"Aap sab, yeha par?" Roja asked shockingly.

"Parth kaha hain? Kaha chhupa kar rakha hain usse?" Maya asked straight.

"Parth sir, keya huya hain unhen?" Roja asked worriedly.

"Parth kahi mill nehi raha hain, tumhe pata hain ke wo kaha hain?" Renuka asked this time.

"No aunty, mujhe nehi pata! Kaha hain Parth sir?" Roja replied shockingly. 

"Jhoot mat bolo, tumhe achchhi tarha se pata hain ke Parth kaha hain. Tumne hi usse kahi par chhupa kar rakha hain. Saach saach batao ke mera beta kaha hain nehi toh main police mein tumhare against complain karungi." Maya said furiously. Hearing the noise granny also came out from her room.

"Keya huya hain beta, yeh sab koyn hain?" Granny asked surprisingly.

"Granny yeh Parth sir ki parents hain, yeh bol rahe hain ke Parth sir mill nehi rahe hain!" Roja said worriedly.

"Just stop your drama aur sidha sidha batao ke Parth kaha hain, warna achchha nehi hoga!" Maya threatened her.

"Excuse me, baat keya hain? Parth kaha hain aur aap meri poti se aaise baat kyu kar rahi hain?" Granny asked shockingly.

"Wonderful, keya family hain! Poti hain ke mere bete ko aapne pyar ke jaal mein phasa kar shaadi karna chahati hain! Aur kahi mera beta uske haat se nikal na jaye issi liye usse kahi chhupa kar rakha hain aur aap bol rahi hain ke aapko kuch pata hi nehi! Keya innocent log hain!" Maya said mockingly.

"Please Mrs. Kashysp aap mere poti par aaisa ghatiya ilzam nehi laga sakti. Aap guest hain toh phir please aapne limit mein rahiye." Granny said sternly.

"Limit mein toh aapki poti ko rahena chahiye tha Mrs. D'souza, lekin shayed paiso ki chamak ne usse aandha kar diya tha aur wo aapni aukat bhul gayi! Warna bar mein gaana gaane wali yeh mamuli si ladki mere ghar ki bahu banne ke ware mein soch vi kaise sakti hain!" Maya said furiously when Roja's face fall down terribly. Not even in her wildest dream she thought that the bitter truth of her life she hide deep into her heart someday will reveal in front of granny like this when Randhir also looked at Maya in disbelief.

"Enough! Bass bahut ho geya hain Mrs. Kashysp! Aapki itni himmat ke aap mere hi ghar mein khade hoke meri beti ko bura bhala bol rahi hain! Aagar aap Parth ki maa nehi hoti toh phir main aapko iska jawab jarur deti." Granny roared like a tigress.

"Aab mujhe samajh mein aah raha hain ke Parth kyu bhag geya! Kuch nehi chahata wo bachcha sivaye pyar ke aur wohi cheese aap usse nehi de payi Mrs. Kashysp. Aur rahi baat meri beti ki toh phir mujhe garv hain aapni beti par. Aapni budi dadi aur chhote bhai ke liye ussne jo jo sacrifice diya hain wo koi karna toh dur soch vi nehi sakta! Am proud of my daughter. Aur haan bar singer hona koi crime nehi hain, music is an art. Kala hain yeh, toh phir bar mein gaana gaane se wo ghatiya nehi ho jati hain. Aur phir aap ke dharm mein vi toh sangeet ki Devi Mata Saraswati hain na lekin mere liye toh meri beti khud saraswati ka roop hain aur mujhe naaz hain aapni beti par." Granny said caressing Roja's hair when tears rolled down from her eyes.

"Aur aap keya meri beti ko aapni ghar ki bahu nehi banayengi main khud aapni beti ki shaadi uss ghar mein nehi karungi jaha par uski koi izzat nehi hain." Granny groaned angrily.

"Toh phir aap log aaise nehi batayengi ke mera beta kaha hain! Okay Vardhan call the police." Maya said coldly.

"But Maya!" Vardhan was hesitated.

"I said call the police." Maya said sternly. Just then Renuka's phone buzzed thus she received the call and the colour of her face changed next.

"Parth ka pata chal geya hain." Renuka said thus everyone looked at her.

"Kaha hain Parth?" Maya asked anxiously.

"Wo guru ji ka phone tha, Parth unke ashram mein hain." Renuka replied thus everyone became shocked.

"Lekin Parth ashram mein keya kar raha hain?" Maya asked shockingly.

"Guru ji bol rahe thay ke Parth humesha ke liye unke sharan mein jana chahata hain. Parth sanyas lena chahata hain." Renuka said slowly when everyone became froze to heard this kind of news.

                                * * * * * * * * *

Maya's car stopped in front of the ashram when she came out from the car quickly and rushed inside the ashram. Guru ji was busy in his lecture when Maya came there along with Vardhan, Renuka, Harsh and Randhir.

"Guru ji Parth kaha hain?" Maya all most screamed thus everyone looked at her.

"Guru ji please bataiye mera Parth kaha par hain?" Maya asked anxiously.

"Shant raho beti, Parth yehi ashram mein hi hain." Guru ji replied politely.

"Guru ji mujhe usse milna hain, aabhi." Maya said impatiently.

"Aabhi toh uski pratharna ka samay hain, tum log atithi nivas mein pratiksha karo Parth tum sabse wohi aake milega." Guru ji replied.

"Mujhe mere bete se milne ke liye wait karne ki koi jarurat nehi hain, main aabhi jaa rahi hu usse milne." Maya said furiously and about to go when Renuka hold her hand.

"Keya kar rahi ho tum Maya! Ashram ke kuch niyam hote hain aur usse sabko manna padta hain. Jaisa guru ji bol rahe hain waisa karo." Renuka said slowly yet steadily.

"Maaf kijiye guru ji, wo meri bahen aapne hosh mein nehi hain." Renuka apologised slowly.

"Koi baat nehi beti, ek maa ka dil main samajh sakta hu. Tum log atithi nivas mein jau Parth tum logo se wohi milega." Guru ji said and gesture one of his shishya to show them the way.

"Aap log yehi par pratiksha kijiye main Parth ko aap logo ki aagaman ka suchna deta hu." The sadhu maharajah said and left from there next.

"I can't believe Parth aaisa vi koi decision le sakta hain! Aare jo ladka kabhi mandir jaane ke liye raazi nehi hota tha wo aachanak se sanyas lena chahata hain!" Maya said in disbelief.

"Jab insan ka dil tutta hain tab wo aapne hosh mein nehi raheta hain Maya. Maine tumhe pehele hi kaha tha ke soch samajh kar decision lena, yeh Parth ki zindegi ka sawal hain." Renuka said firmly.

"Toh phir aapko keya lagta hain jiji ke mujhe Parth ka chinta nehi hain!" Maya said surprisingly.

"Hain, bilkul hain. Lekin kabhi kabhi hum aapne bachche ki bhalai karne ke chakkar mein unki zindegi aur kharab kar dete hain." Renuka replied sadly.

"Jiji aap bataiye uss ladki ke saath shaadi karke Parth ka keya bhala hota? Wo ladki mere Parth ki layek nehi hain." Maya said adamantly.

"Yeh decision toh tumhe Parth par chhodna chahiye tha Maya. After all zindegi uski hain toh phir jeevansaathi chunne ka haq vi uska hona chahiye." Renuka said firmly.

"Parth ko iss ware mein keya pata jiji?" Maya asked surprisingly.

"Toh phir tum dono ko vi iss ware mein keya pata tha Maya! Lekin phir vi aapne family ke against jake tum dono ne ek dusre ka saath diya tha na, warna aaj tum aur Vardhan vi saath mein nehi hote!" Renuka said coldly.

"Jiji aap mera compare uss ladki ke saath kar rahi hain!" Maya said in disbelief.

"Main comparison nehi kar rahi hu Maya, main bass yeh bol rahi hu ke aaj Parth vi wohi par khada hain jaha par kabhi tum aur Vardhan khade thay. Aur mujhe laga tha ke at least tum aapne bete ka dard samjhoge. Lekin tum, tumne khud aapne bete ka dil tod diya. Aur majboor hoke Parth ne yeh rashta lene ka socha." Randhir can't even tried to hide her sigh this time.

Maya was short of words after listening all this when Parth entered there. He was wearing a white dhoti with a kurta on it. His hair were oily and well combed. He put tika on his forehead and body when the holy thread on his chest visible too. Everyone became shocked to saw him like that.

"Parth!" Maya almost whispered to saw him like that.

"Pranam, aab sab yeha par?" Parth asked when everyone came back to their senses.

"Parth yeh sab keya hain? Yeh keya pehena hain tumne! Yeh dhoti-kurta, yeh chandan ka tika yeh sab keya hain? Isse badal kar humare saath ghar chalo aabhi ke aabhi." Maya said firmly.

"Maaf kijiye ga lekin yeh ashram hain aur yeh par kuch niyam hain jisse tod kar main aapke saath nehi chal sakta." Parth said slowly when Maya became shocked to listening this.

"Am your mom Parth!" Maya said in disbelief.

"Maaf kijiye lekin main uss mohomaya ki duniya chhod kar aaya hu toh phir aaj ke baad na mera koi maa hain na pita aur nahi koi aapna. Maine aapne aap ko bhagaban ki charno mein samarpan karna chahata hu. Aab wohi mere mata-pita dono hain." Parth said when everyone became shocked to heard this.

"Parth yeh sab keya bachpana hain, ghar chal sab kuch thik ho jayega." Randhir said in disbelief.

"Yeh bachpana nehi hain Randhir, bachpana toh hum pehele kiya karte thay lekin yeh meri zindegi ki saach hain." Parth said slowly.

"Parth tumhari zindegi ki sabse badi sachchai main hu bete. Maine tumhe janam nehi diya hain lekin tumhe paal posh kar maine hi bada kiya hain, kamse kam mere liye toh ghar wapas chalo, please." Renuka requested holding his hand.

"Janta hu ke janam dene se plane wala bada hota hain aur bachpan se hi guru ji ne yehi bataya hain ke hume janam dene wala aur plane wala dono bhagaban hain. Issi liye main bhagaban ke charno mein aapne aap ko samarpan karne aaya hu." Parth said slowly yet steadily.

"Parth 15 saal tum humse aalag rahe aur humne tumhe kabhi force nehi kiya wapas aane ke liye, bass tumhara wait karte rahe. Lekin aab jab tum humare pass wapas aaye ho toh phir dubara humse dur kyu jaa rahe ho? Hum tumhare bina kaise jiyenge?" Vardhan asked in a broken voice.

"Maaf kijiye lekin milna bichharna toh bhagaban ke haat mein hain. Shayed humara saath yehi tak tha. Aagar maine kabhi aap logo ka dil dukhaya ho toh phir mujhe maaf kar dijiye ga." Parth said joining his hands.

"Parth bass bahut ho geya hain, tum aabhi humare saath ghar wapas chaloge." Maya said furiously. Just when guru ji came there.

"Shant ho jau beti. Aaisi koynsi baat hain jo tumhare mann ko ashant kar raha hain?" Guru ji asked curiously.

"Guru ji aap Parth ko boliye ke wo aabhi issi waqt mere saath ghar wapas chale." Maya said adamantly.

"Beti Parth koi bachcha nehi hain, tum uske saath zor jabardasti nehi kar sakti aur nahi main. Usse aapne zindegi ka rashta khud chunne do. Yeh bhagaban ka ghar hain jo unke bhakto ko humesha rashta dikhata hain aur phir ek bhakt ko bhagaban se milne se rokna paap hain." Guru ji said politely.

"Guru ji Parth koi bhakt nehi hain jo yeha par aapne bhagaban se milne aaya hain, wo bass mujhse naraz hoke yeha par aaya hain. Aapne gusse mein wo aapna zindegi badbad karne chala hain! Warna yeh koi umar hain uska sanyas lene ka? Aabhi toh uski puri zindegi baki hain." Maya said anxiously.

"Parth yeh main keya sun raha hu, tum aapne parivaar se naraz hoke yeha par aaye ho! Matlab tumhare sanyas lene ka karon bhagaban ke liye prem aur samarpan nehi aapne parivaar ke liye nafrat hain?" Guru ji asked shockingly.

"Nehi guru ji, main kisise naraz nehi hu aur nahi aapne nafrat ke wajase main yeha par aaya hu. Aagar main naraz hu toh phir aapne zindegi se aur isse ek lakshya dena chahata hu, issi liye main sab kuch chhod kar yeha aaya hu bhagaban ke charno mein aapne aap ko samarpan karne." Parth said slowly.

"Parth tum ghar wapas chalo, tum jaisa chahate ho waisa hi hoga, jisse shaadi karna chahate ho usse tumhari shaadi karwa dunga. Tum bass ghar chalo." Harsh said this time.

"Nehi bade papa aab aaisa nehi ho sakta. Main wo duniya humesha ke liye chhod kar aaya hu, toh phir aab inn sabka koi matlab nehi hain. Aur phir pyar ka aasli matlab toh pana nehi khona hota hain. Sampurna samarpan. Aur aapne aap ko khoke hi mujhe yeh saach pata chala. Issi liye main bhagaban ki charno mein aapne aap ko puri tarhase samarpan karne aaya hu, aur aab sirf issi mein mujhe shanti milegi. Mujhe aagya dijiye." Parth said and touched everyone's feet when Renuka shaded tears. He was about to go when Randhir hold his hand.

"Parth ruk jaa, please mat jaa. Main Sanyukta se keya kahunga ke uska bestfriend kaha hain? Aur phir humara aane wala bachcha, wo tera vi toh kuch lagta hain, uska keya?" Randhir asked became restless when Parth smiled a little.

"Sanyukta samajh jayegi ke maine aaisa kyu kiya hain. Dost hain na wo meri aur dost toh bina bole hi sab kuch samajh jate hain. Aur rahi baat tum dono ke bachchi ki toh phir jiss din wo nanhi si jaan iss duniya mein aayega main usse aashirbaad dene jarur jayunga." Parth said with a smile and about to go when Randhir said,

"And what about Roja, usse keya kahunga main?" Randhir tried one last time when Parth looked at him.

"Roja ka keya Randhir, humara aalag hone ka faisla usika tha toh phir usse kahena ke waisa hi hoga jaisa wo chahati thi. Aaj ke baad hum phir kabhi nehi milenge." Parth said firmly and left from there next when Maya broke down into tears.

"Guru ji please kuch kijiye, rokiye Parth ko. Main aapne Parth ko aaise nehi dekh sakti. Aagar usne sanyas le liya toh phir main marr jayungi." Maya cried her heart out.

"Mujhe darr hain ki aab main vi Parth ko rok nehi payunga. Parth jab yeha aake mujhse kaha ke wo sanyas lena chahata hain toh phir maine usse bahut samjhaya, yeha tak ke Renuka ko bol kar tum sabko yeha par bulaya taki tum log usse samjha sako. Lekin shayed bhagaban ko yehi manjoor hain. Parth aapne zindegi se puri tarhase hatas aur nirash ho chuka hain aur yehi karon hain ke wo sanyas lena chahata hain. Aab tum logo ke pass sirf aaj ka din hain, aagar tum log Parth ko samjha sakte ho toh phir thik hain, nehi toh mujhe usse dikshya dena padega." Guru ji said politely.

"Sirf aaj ka din?" Renuka asked shockingly.

"Haan, sirf aaj ka din. Kaal Parth khud aapna shradh karega aur phir uske sanyas lene ka kriya sampanna hoga. Aagar tum log usse rok sake toh thik hain warna mujhe usse aapne sharan mein lena padega." Guru ji said and left from there next when Maya sat down on her knees as her legs can't support her anymore.
