Its was winder morning 11 O'clock when the tress with mist on there were flowing along the wind moving around.

A girl wearing a plain blue knee length dress with black jacket, white shoes and blond hair was staring at a old dusted house from the lawn infront of it with leaning on her car.

Maahi, are you sure you wana buy this house. A guy in shaded blue jeans with white collar length t-shirt with a mobile in his one hand which indicated he was on call and disconnected it while coming towards her with unbelievable tone and expressions.

Mahi :(gasped a heavy sigh with still looking at the house)As sure as never before Suraj.

Raj, just call me Raj.. he said with irritated tone as he leaned beside her. She smiled at his reaction glancing at him once then again at house.

The surrounding was covered in moist as the winder

Raj:(still looking into his phone)I dont understand in this period of time kaun apne bacho ka naam Suraj rakhta hain.. how unreasonable..(irritatedly closes his eyes then turning to Maahi)don't you think so?

Maahi was busy glancing at the house while he looked at her keenly trying to read her expression which were changing.

Suraj : Tum itni obsessed kyu ho iss ghar se?

She chuckled at his question as she titled her head towards him while he node his head with questioning look, her eyes were sparkling as smiled appeared on her face making it beautiful. Suraj was lost in her for a second then jerking his head tried to guess the meaning behind that smile, suddenly he widen his eyes.

Suraj: (stammering) Do..Do..Dont tell me ye unhi ka ghar hain?

Maahi:(smiling again looked at the house)Isliye to mujhe sirf ye ghar chaiye.

Suraj looked at her then again glanced at house as he chuckled at her scratching his head trying to understand her.

Suraj : For God Hevansake! Wo kaunsa officer hain jiske you crossing every limit?

Maahi : No..its not like that.. (she turned to him with trying to frame a sentence)pata nahi kaise define karu lekin mujhe jaana hain inke baremein. Mujhe (he was staring at her)leave it, it difficult to understand and explain.

She turned around again taking a sigh as he kept looking at her with pity in his eyes. He also turned around trying to look for something in phone but Maahi hesitation troubled him. He glanced at her while putting phone in his pocket.

Suraj: (looked at her)Tum kab mujhpe trust karogi?

Maahi : (turning to him)I trust you Suraj..

Suraj :(held his head with his hands closing his eyes take a deep sigh)Maine kab nahi samjha tumhe? haa?(he looked at her as she was looking to his eyes)Kab yakeen aayega tumhe mujhpe? Tumhare liye (wave his hand from his to toe)look at me I changed myself, I am so good at hindi just..(stop in between his sentence)and you are telling me it's difficult to understand.

Maahi :(smiling taking a closer step holding his shirt seleves looking at them)Yakeen?? theek hain..(looked at him) Property dealer kab tak aayega?

Suraj :(shrughing his shoulder)Aur ek ghanta lagega, (rolled his eyes with frustration)traffic of this city is horrible, I dont know why did i tagged along with you..

Maahi:(chuckled with raising her eyes)kafi samay hain, mere pass tumhare liye kuch hain waha peeche backyard hain, tum waha pe bheth ke ye padho tab tak I will grab something to eat.

Suraj:(rolling again his eyes)I really feel hungry but padhna kya hain?

She open the car dikki and pulled a box grabbing a brownish envelope form it and handing it to Suraj. He held it with confused expression as she point in backyard direction as she moved to driving seat waving at him.

He looked at the car until it moved out of gate then glanced at the envelope upside down shrugging his shoulders mummering to himself.

Suraj: This girl is driving me crazy.. itna dusty lag raha hain kahi mujhe dust allergy na hojaye.

He walks backside of house while he saw a iron inplanted chair and table as he pulled out his kerchief and dusted them with waving his hand in air to move the dust making wired faces.

He finally settled down leanning his back on chair checking if there are any dust marks on his t-shirt, he smirk at his dusting seeing no marks on his shirt while he opened the envelope.

There a little old whitish paper in it, it looked like the paper has been cherished from a long time and the ink on the paper was little but it was sufficient to read, suraj closely stuided the letter while he held it, keenly looked the envelope turning it upside down with curiosity.

Suraj:What the hell man, is she trying prank me or do I look like a loser to her. Abh ye purana sa paper kya deke chali gaayi aur kyu padhna hain mujhe ye..?

He irritatedly threw the envelope to aside while he rabbled the paper opening it as he started reading it.

Shreya,

Ye Mera 6th letter hain tumhare liye.. nahi chauko maat mera Matlab tha ki ye Main chatvi baar likh raha hu, issi letter ko...Agar tum wada karo tum nahi hasogi to main tumhe batahu ki phele 5 khat bina tumtak pahunche bedardi de humare Abhijeet ke haato rondlade gaaye. (Surag smirk on thi)dekha tum haasi na..

(Suraj make a stiff face controlling while narrowing his eyes and reading it)

Abh aage ki daastan suno.. phele 3 khat isliye nikare gaaye kyu ki usmein maine, pyaari shreya ya meri shreya ya dear shreya likh dala jisse Abhijeet ne seedha nakardiya ye kehke ki pheli baar kisi ladki ko khat likh raha hu aur sidha {Dear, Meri,Pyaari} kahunga to tum bina soche khat phad dogi.. lekin aise kaise phad dogi itni himmat se mehnat se likh raha hu padhna to chaiiye na..

Isliye maine ye tai kiya ki main sirf Shreya likhunga.. abh baki 2 khat ka kissa kuch aisa hua ki unn khato ko tumhare fav senior ne phir se bedardi ke saath phadiye gaaye wo bhi isliye kyu ki usmein boss ke hissab se maine letter nahi book likhi thi... Abh mujhe kitna kuch kehna hain tumse to 1 -- 2 pages zyada hogaye.....acha, sach kehta hu ki wo pure 8 pages ka bana....

Suraj:(smirking)8 pages ki koi letter hota hain?

Haa haslo tum bhi, janta hu jo bhi iss khat ko padega wo hasega hi,lekin padhne to tum wali ho to tum hasogi to mujhe acha hi lagega. (a sweet smile appear on his face) Waise sach kahu to, main janta hu tum bhi apne senior ko hi support karogi to isliye bina waqt gaavaye main iss baar kaam se kaam shabdo mein tumse kuch kehna chata hu iss "love letter" ke sariye..

Taking a Long Pause

Main janta hu iss waqt tum chauk gaayi hogayi ki main kya kehraha hu lekin jab insaan 5 letter likhega to thoda sa comfortable to ho hi jayega shayad isliye bina chichak ke tumse ye sab keh pa raha hu. Shreya iss waqt Abhijeet mujhe iss taraha se gur raha hain jaise ki maine uski kidney bang li hain(Suraj laughs with bringing the letter closer to his eyes) lekin sach to ye hain ki ICU ke bhar jaise patience ke relative doctor ka bhar nikalne ka wait karte hain uss taraha se mera iss khat ko khatam karne ka intezar kiya jaa raha hain (suraj again laughs with bitting his lips as he read further)

Par usse kaise samjhu ki , mujhe tumse kitna kuch kehna hain?

Kehte hain Suraj ki roshni se sab kuch saaf dikhne lagta hain aur chand ki chandni se wo sab khoobsurat chamakta hain. Mujhe aaj wo har din yaad hain jab main tumhare saath uss Suraj ki roshni mein mila tha aur wo din bhi jisni chand roshni ne mein mujhe tumhse ishq jaisa kuch ho chala tha...

Ishq.. itna khoobsurat word hain na ye aur isse aaju baju sab khubsurat hota hain.

Shreya tumhe yaad tumhara phela case mere saath tha, tum kafi zyada achi thi aur sahi mein main impress tha lekin jaise jaise waqt juzra pata nahi kaise par main tumhari taraf keecha chala gaaya.. Aaj bhi mujhe wo ek ek pal yaad hain jab tumhe dekhke mujhe sukoon milta tha, jab tumhari hassi mujhe tasali deti thi, tumhara hona mera hona tha. tumhari aankho mein aasu ya tumhe pareshan dekhke pata nahi main pareshan hojata tha.

Main honestly nahi janta tha ki kab tumse main itna affected rehne laga lekin tumhare hone ka essash se zyada tumhe khone ke daar se main kuch keh nahi paaya.. Hote hain na kuch log jo baki sari cheezo mein ache hote hain lekin wo ek cheez mein jaha unke dil ki,zindagi ki jisse wo sabse zyada pasand karte hain unki baat aati hain to Dil mudhu banjata hain. Main bas unhi budhu wo mein se ek hu.

Shreya, as always jab maine Abhijeet ko kaha ki main khat likhke tumhare liye aur wo usse tum tak pahuchana hain to bhaishab ne, mujhe kayi tipniya dedi thi ki mujhe kya likhna chaiye kya nahi lekin ye khat tumhare aur mere liye hain to mujhe wo likha chaiye jo actually feel karta hu, Kuch dino se humare beech ye bina kahi duriya kaha se aagayi samjh nahi paya lekin inn duriyiko khatam karne ka ye khat solution banega to sabse zyada khush rahunga ki jo CID officer difficult se difficult case solve karsakta hain jisse bohut zyada experience hain lekin ye love letter likhne ka experience phela hain phir bhi wo iss bazi mein bhi jeet gaaya... (smiles)ek badhur CID officer jo ek unromantic insaan hain usse...

Suraj:(rumbling the paper holding it in one hand)what a cute teenager love letter .. Maahi ko dekhke lagta nahi ki wo teenager love stories ki deewani hain, is she working on teenager love story??(nodes his head looking at sky while something strike and he again reread the lines concentrating on last lines words)

.........ek badhur CID officer jo.......

Suraj gasped as his eyes were widen.

Suraj:(mummering)CID officer ka love letter..

He is a journalist/magazine content writter by nature so it was his antic to react on things,he was suprised with the thought why maahi gave him this. He jerking his thoughts away again looked at the letter.

......ek badhur CID officer jo bilkul unromantic insaan hain, usse tumhare pyaar ne ye bhi sikha diya........(taking a pause)Haa Pyaar pata nahi kaise kab kaha hua lekin hua hain wo bhi tumse.. haha .. Janta hu iss waqt tum pyaare chere pe hassi hogi lekin yaad rakhna tum bohut lucky ho.. isliye nahi ki meri fan following bohut hain, wo to obliviously si baat hain handsome hu, brilliant hu, acha kamata hu aur achi post pe bhi to ladki ki fan following to rahegi jo aage jaake tumhi deal karni hain lekin inn sab se zyada tum isliye lucky ho kyu ki Senior Inspector Daya ne love letter likha apni zindagi shreya ke liye..

Suraj smile with the each word as he was deep droning in letter.

Suraj: Senior Inspector Daya.. (something strikes his mind as he recollect some back stroy...and he immediately turned around looking at the house as his eyes widen as he looks at the house behind him)Ye to ussi officer ka.. (he stop in between then quickly look at the letter reading it further)

Mere, Iss chere pe ek badi si Musakan hain aur agar Abhijeet dekhleta mujhe to zarur kehta, Waha bhai- sab abh aap to shayar ban gaaye aur shayad ban bhi gaaya hu.. Jo log pyaar karne lagte hain wo shayar ban jaate hain aur tumhare pyaar mein main wo sab kar raha hu jo maine kabhi nahi kiya.. (suraj narrow his eyes as he read further) Abh ye aakhen gheri karke sochne ki zarurath nahi hain ki batata hu ki main mujhe nahi pata rehte hua kya kuch kardiya hain..

Sabse phele,Tumhe mein kisi aur ko dekha.. samjhta hoon..iss pyaari si shreya se alag wo ladki se mila jo sabki help karti hain lekin batati nahi, Uss din hotel mein tumhare CID join karne ke baad.. yaad hain??? kitne zor se tumne mere sher pe takar maari thi aur pata ussi takar ko dekhke Abhijeet bhai sab ko laga ki tum meri takkar ki ladki ho.. aise bhi bhala hota hain lekin shayad wo sahi tha kyu ki tumhare saath maine wo sab mehsus aur bina karan karta chala gaaya jo maine kabhi kisi aur ke liye nahi kiya, shayad apne liye bhi nahi.

Tumhere hone ka ehsaas mujhe bohut der se hua lekin uss ehsaas ko mere dil ne sabse phele jaan liya tha,isliye bina meri permission ke wo tumse milne ke bhanae dhundta raha, uss din park mein tumse achanak milke jaana ki tumhare dil mein humanity ke saath saath janwaro ke liye bhi jagha hain.

Tumhari himat dekhke thoda sa dil tumhari taraf jhuk gaaya tha , jaanti ho main tumhe jitna janta gaaya utna tumhari taraf khicha chala gaaya, chaiye wo bureau ke garden mein tumhari pyaari baato ko suna ho ya phir barish mein tumhe beegne se bachna ke liye aapne haath tumhare sher pe rakhna....haha kitni ajeeb kosish thi wo meri, bhala sirf apne hatoliye se kaise tumhe beeghne se rok sakta tha huh...

Main iss kosish mein laga tha ki ye jaan paau ki mere dimag mein ye forensic ke ye ajeeb rang kyu ghul rahe hain wahi tum hamare kapdo ke rang ko mila rahi thi "same pinch" ke naam se.

Mujhe pata hi nahi chala kab tum meri jeevan ke choti choti baatein ka hissa ban gaayi, jab tumhe maine farm house ke charity event pe perform karte dekha to dil tham gaaya tha. Pheli baar kissi ki kala se deewangi ka eshaas hua tha. ek pal ko laga tha jaise humare kapde ka rang laal tha ussi tarha humre dil ka rang bhi laal ho aur uss din main dil khole tumhare saath jee raha tha. Ek sach baat batau... tum naraz maat hona lekin uss din dance performance ke baad bhagwan ko maine dil se thankyou bola tha.. samjhi nahi kyu?

Are kyu ki Barish jo karvayi thi aur ussi barish ke karan to hi main tumhare saath ruk paaya tha. kitne choti badi baatein ki thi.. uss waqt jo gaan baaj raha tha radio pe aaj bhi yaad hain mujhe... "Mere Rang mein Rangne wali..Pari ho ya Pario ki raani" uss gaane ke saath tumhari haasi, tumhari har ek khusi,tumhare pal pal ke saath mere dil mein bas gaaye iss kadar ki abh har waqt wo tumhare saath rehna chata tha.

Shreya, Iss mohabein mein maine sirf ache pal hi nahi, balki gussa narazgi, jalan ye sab mehsus kiya.... ye...aise kya soch mein dub rahi ho? sach keh raha hu.. yakeen nahi hota to suno mere uss ishq ki dastaan jo tum bilkul nahi janti.

Tumhe wo din to yaad hi hoga jab hum sab milke picnic pe gaaye the aur tum - main saath bheth ke icecream kha rahe the, humne waha bohut baatein ki thi par mere dil mein kuch aur hi tha tab main khud bhi nahi janta tha lekin mere dil ke baad shayad wo Abhijeet hi tha jo jaan gaya tha mujhe aur ussi ko sabit karne ke liye wo tumse baat karne laga tha aur tumbhi kitna haske muskurake dil khole baatein kar rahi thi, waise main khel to cricket raha tha lekin mera dhayan pura tumlog ki taraf tha, pheli baar uss din jalan ka eshaas hua uske saath saath ball se lagi chot ka dard kya hota hain , tumne kitna Rajat, Nikhil aur Abhijeet ko daata tha..

Main bhudu tumhare saath se khush hota raha, tumhari mujhe leke fikar se khush hota raha lekin ye samjh nahi paaya ki inn sab ka kya matlabh hain, waise Icecream se yaad aaya tum ek baar sab ke liye icecream layi thi aur bach kuch ke mere haath lagne hi wala tha par Abhijeet ne phir se puri khali , mujhe ek spoon tak nahi diya, uss waqt iss prani pe itna gussa aaya aur bhai sab isse khushi nahi mili ki wo shreya ghosal ke bahane mujhe tumhare naam se itna chedha laga, chedna to ek dur tha usne to tumhe kabhi tumhari shreya kehta ya phir humari... Abhijeet ne mujhe bada sataya hain tumhare liye.. hahaha.. wo bhi kya dur tha na..

Aaj bhi unn choti choti baatein se dil khush hojata hain,Main hamesha tumhare saath baat karne ke bhana dhundta tha, tumhare saath chalne ke bhana dhundne bina mere jaane ki ye sab kaise hua aur jab tumhare dil mein mere liye wo jagha maan gaayi to main gharbara gaaya. Tumhare meri taraf badhte hui har ek kadam se mujhe khushi honi chaiye thi par purani baatein se dil darne laga.

Lekin jab Ahemdabad mein tumhe khote khote payaa to tai karliya tha ki abh chaiye kuch bhi hojaye, main mere dil ko tumtak aane se nahi rokunga.. Uske baad maine jo tumhare saath ahr ek pal jeeya hain, wo sare pal mere liye bohut khas the shreya bohut khas.

Bhale wo saath cafe jaana tumhari fav icecream khane ya phir mandir jaana ho tumhara apne kanha se milne ya phir apni choti choti khusiyo ko batne orphanage jaana ho.

Tumhe case ke duran chot lagi thi to aisa laga tha ki dard mujhe ho raha hain, jab wo jungle mein chemical ashar tum pe hua tha to laga jaise galti meri thi. Jab tum uss case mein phasi thi to dil ko laga ki tum jaisi ladki jisne meri zindagi mein rang bhare wo kisi aur ki zindagi ka rang kaise cheen sakti hain, main tumhare liye duniya ki har muskil ka samne karne ko tayar tha.

Shreya, Main ek orphanage mein pala bada hu aur family ka matlabh yaha CID aake pata chala, sach kahu to isse phele bhi life mein kosish ki apni ek family ka

sapna dekhne ki lekin wo ek sapna hi rehgaya shayad isliye kyu ki wo sapna ko haqiqat ka roop sirf tum de sakti thi.

Chauko maat.. kyu ki badi himmat aur pata nahi kitne shabdo ko modh thod ke sab likh paaya hoon. Main ye nahi kahunga ki tum mera phela pyaar ho kyu ki mujhe laga tha maine pyaar isse phele bhi kiya hain lekin tumhare meri zindagi mein aane ke baad ye esaash hua ki sacha pyaar kisse kehte hain aur wo mujhe tumse ho chala hain abh phir kisi se nahi hoga na hi main karna chata hoon.

Kyu ki iss khati meethi zindagi ko main tumhare saath beetana chata hoon, Main chata hu ki jaise tum dheere dheere mere Ghar ke darwaze se mere dil ke darwaze tak pahunch gaayi ho ussi taraha tum apne dil se mere dil ko chod do aur ye kuch dino se jo duriya humre beech aayi hain usse khatam kardo.

Suno, maine narazi ki baat ki thi na.. to aise do baar hua jab main tumse naraz hua tha. Pheli baar jab tumne Abhijeet ko meri halat ke liye zimedar samjha lekin kafi sochne ke baad samjh aaya ki jab bhi baat apno ki aati hain to hum aisehi react karte hain bhale wo tum ho, main hu, Abhijeet ya Acp sir tab jaake dil mein jo bhi sikhayat thi wo dur hogaiyi.

Dusri baar janti ho kab hua naraz.. Abhi hu wo bhi parso se jab tumhare ghar aaya tha tab bhi tha. Mujhe bohut bura laga shreya tumhara mujhe ye baat chupana. Hum kitne kareeb the, to kyu chupai ye baat ki tumhe koi ladka dekhne aane wala hain?

Suraj eyes were stuck on one line as he gasped taking a long breathe, he fold the paper in half holding it in his hand with covering his face with other hand.

Surag:(slowly)Did she never loved him?Agar aisa tha to letter kyu likha uss CID officer ne?

He quickly pausing his thoughts open the letter again and start reading it again.

..............Hum kitne kareeb the, to kyu chupai ye baat ki tumhe koi ladka dekhne aane wala hain?Uss din main tumse baat karne hi aaya lekin gussa tha ya narazgi ya tumhe khone ka daar tumhari aankho mein kuch aisa dekha jisne mere dil ko tod diya tha. Uss pure din na hi main case pe concentrate kar paaya tha na kisi aur cheez pe bas aankeho ke samne tum aati rahi aur iss dil ko chain tab mila jab shamko wapas main Abhijeet ke saath tumhare ghar aaye aur Purvi ne jo Abhijeet ko aur phir Boss ne mujhe baat batati... ki wo ladka nahi aaya.

Suraj:(happily)Yes......Yes

Itni khusi hui mujhe wo sunke ki main shabdo mein bayan nahi karsakta, tab se bas yahi soch raha hu ki kaise tumse kahu kaise yakeen dilaou ki main tumhare bina nahi reh sakta. kaise kahu ki tum ho to main hu warna kuch nahi. Janti ho aaj tak jiss internet ko usse karke hum information, criminal records wo sab dekhte the aaj ussi Internet pe maine kayi articles pad dale sirf tumhe propose karne ke liye, Kayi hotel mein booking ke liye call bhi kiya lekin ye sab to banawati hain sach to dil se dil ko jodta hain isliye dil se tumse ye saari baatein keh raha hu.

Maine suna hain ki sache pyaar ke 7 rango ki 7 siddhiya hoti hain, 1st - Dilkashi (attraction), 2nd - Uns (attachment), 3rd - Mohobbat (love), 4th - Akidat (trust), 5th - Ibadat (worship), 6th -Junoo (madness) aur akhiri sidhi 7th - Maut (death)

Humne iss rishte ki, pyaar ki phele 4 siddhiya to paar karli lekin baki 3 bhi paar karna chata hu tumhare saath.. Haaaa (smiling)Shreya, Hindi mein ek muhawara hain " Tumhe khone ke daar se tumhe paaya hi nahi" maine bhi wahi kardiya na aaj bhi socha tha tumse milke ye kahunga wo kahunga lekin keh nahi paaya aur main aapni gaadi kisi bhi surat mein chutne nahi dena chata, isliye abhi iss waqt tumse puchna chata hu.........

Dekho, Propose kaise karte hain mujhe iski ratibhar bhi idea nahi hain, lekin phir bhi...

Long pause.. taking deep breathe which can be felt from the letter, the trembling handwritting was proof of how difficult was it for him.

Shreya,kya tum..tu..tum.. Cid ke recordes mein, apne id's mein apne ghar ke address ko mera ghar ke address se badalna chaogi?Kya tum mera surname ko apne naam ke saath jadna chaogi?

kya Abhijeet ko tumhare haath ki chai mere Ghar pe pilana chaogi? Kya main har roz tumhe apne saath bureau lejaau aisa chaogi.. Kya roz subha main tumhra pyaar chera dekhke jag saku aisa chati ho? Kya mere inn sare sawalo ka jawab dena chaogi? Kya tum Miss se Mrs. Daya bana chaogi.. Waise agar tum chaiho to main bhi tumhara surname aapna sakta hu mujhe koi problem nahi hain..

By the way(scraching his head)tumhara surname kya hain? Dekho ghuru maat.. Itne saal saath kaam kiya itni dur rishta aagya aur mujhe tumhara surname tak yaad nahi ye sahi nahi hain, lekin fikar maat karo wo to jaan jaunga lekin jo main nahi janta wo ye hain ki tumhare dil mein kya hain?

Haa..Main ache se janta hu ki aaj main bohut bol raha hu lekin samne kehne se chichakta hu par ye bhi wada karta hu, tumhare jawab ke baat tumhari pyaari badi aankhoin mein dekhke apne dil ki baat kahunga kyu ki tab tak iss baat ka yakeen hojayega ki tumhare dil mein bhi mere liye wahi eshaas hain jo mere dil mein hain..

Iss waqt to maine apne Dil ko thamke samjha liya hain ki wo tumhare jawab ka intezar kare aur ye intezar tab tak rahega jab tum kuch nahi keh deti kyu ki meri zindagi ka sabse bada sach yahi hain ki mere liye tum bohut important ho aur ye main tumhe apni zindagi se khoke jaana hain isliye abh mujhe bina tarsaye... acha baba maine bhi to der ki apna pyaar tumse kehne ki isliye iss baat ki chut pe thoda sa tum bhi tarsalo lekin please jawab jaldi se dena.

Maine shayad aaj tak jataya nahi lekin aaj maine sab kuch iss khat mein kehdiya hain aur bas akhiri baat yahi kehna chata hoon ki, Zindagi to tumhare bina bhi chal rahi thi lekin tumhare aane se maine jeena sikha, zindagi ke sahi maine pata chale hain, naye rango se dosti hui hain aur inn naye esaash ko naye rang ko main hamesha tumre saath rakhna chata hu.

Tumhare jawab ka intezar karunga aur aane wale uss naye kubsoorat zindagi ka bhi jaha sirf main aur tum rahenge aur humdono ke ghar ka pata bhi ek hi ho..

Waise ek aur baat to kehna hi bhul gaaayaa..... (smiling)I love you shreya... I really love you... kuch likha hain tumhare likhe shreya..

Kaun kehta hai ishq me bas ikraar hota hain,
Kaun kehta hai ishq me bas inkaar hota hain,
Tanhai ko tum bebasi ka naam na do,
Kyuki ishq ka dusra naam hi intezaar hota hai..

Tumhara aur sirf tumhara

Daya.... ❤

Suraj take a deep breathe as he lean back on the chair with letter in his hand, he looks at the letter turning it upside down as he held it close to his heart.

Suraj: What a love letter men! Agar love letter itna acha hain to love story kitni achi hogi.. lekin Shreya ne Daya ke itne beautiful letter ka jawab kya diya hoga. (smirking happily)Haa hi kaha hoga, kaunsi ladki brilliant, talented, acha kamane wale ladke jiski fan following bhi hain usse na kahegi. But still i am very curious to know about him aur ye akhri shayari ka matlabh kya tha?

Suraj was lost in his thought when Maahi taps his shoulder as he jumps in scare and take a deep breathe seeing Maahi there.

Suraj:God, you scared me..

Maahi: (confused)I sacred you??Raj..

Suraj : Suraj.. Call me suraj..

Maahi :(smiling looking at him)So you read it..

Suraj: ofcourse, Am i so stupid to skip on this beautiful letter but why this is with you? Isse to shreya ke saath hona chaiye na?

Suraj was bombarding his thoughts in form of questions while Maahi was opening all the food packets she grabbed for suraj.

Suraj: Firstly, tell me that this house belongs to Daya right?(she smiling nodes)ohh godd i so want to meet them..

Maahi:(raising her eyes)them??

Suraj: Shreya and Daya.. The perfect love story couple..(Maahi gasped as she slowly offer him sandwich while he was lost in his own world) i am going do an interview and article about them with title "CID ki unique love story"

Maahi :(sipping colldrink)its can't happen.

Suraj:why not?

Maahi:They are not togeather (suraj raise his eyes signalling divorce as she chuckled at him) nahi divorce tab hota jab wo kabhi saath hote. Wo kabhi saath nahi the..

Suraj gasped woth shocked face, his heart broke hearing maahi.

Suraj:(shocked)Itni achi khaani to thi phir kyu shreya ne accept nahi kiya daya ka pyaar ?kya kami thi unke pyaar mein?kitna besabri se intezar kar rahe the wo jawab ka..

Maahi:hold down Suraj, tum itne upset  kyu ho rahe ho..

Suraj:Upset nahi hu to kya hua, itna pyaar ke baad bhi Daya ko shreya ne kyu nahi chuna?

Maahi:(smiling)kyu ki ye letter shreya ke pass tak tab pahuncha hi nahi.

Suraj :(shocked)What???(hitting his head) Are you even listening to yourself, ye kaise possible hain Abhijeet khud ye letter shreya tak leke jaane wale the, he was one who was rotting for them from the start phir wo saath kaise nahi hain? kaise ye letter untak nahi pahuncha aur sabse baada question tumhare pass kaise aaya?kya rishta hain tumhara inse?

Maahi :(smiling sadly)one question at a time..

Suraj:Maahi, i am dying to know why was this beautiful story incomplete?(something strike his mind)Did Abhijeet betray...

Maahi:No..no..no.. socho bhi maat aaj bhi Abhijeet sir aur daya sir ke dosti ke kisse sunaye jaate hain.

Suraj:Phir kya hua?

Maahi: Abhijeet ko kuch aisi situations aagayi thi ki wo iss letter ko shreya ko nahi de paaye aur ye khaani beeth gaayi hain isse badla nahi jaa sakta isliye upset maat ho..

Suraj feeling sad lean back resting his head on chair headrest as he look at sky while his heart was pinching taking the last bite of sandwich.

Maahi held his hand as pulling him back with handing him other piece of sandwich. He looks at the sandwich for a second as he put it back.

Suraj :But why? letter nahi mila to Daya ne pucha nahi,bataya nahi shreya ko aur wo dono abhi kaha hain?

Maahi : dono ka to pata nahi lekin zindagi kabhi bhi humare hisab se kaha chalti hain.. (she grabs chips)

Suraj : God, you are impossible maahi(she raise her eyes looking at him) why did you make me read this one, just to feel heart break. Itni beautiful love story wo bhi... wo jo break hojata hain usse hindi mein kya kehte hain?

Maahi: (thinking)tutna(nodding no)alag hona..(nodding no in irritation)adhuri??

Suraj:haa itni beautiful lovestory Adhuri kaise reh sakti hain?Shreya ne kyu nahi padha itna yaar and pure letter.

Maahi :Suraj, (smiling held his one hand)Maine ye nahi kaha ki shreya ne ye letter kabhi nahi padha..

Suraj:(stunned + shocked)what..(held his head) its a lot of things to grab.. Firstly you mean shreya tak ye letter pahuncha?she read it then unhone jawab kyu nahi diya wo saath kyu nahi hain? Ek minute, the question arises agar shreya tak pahuncha to unhone Daya ko jawab kya diya? aur wo dono abh saath kyu nahi hain? The biggest question tumhare pass ye letter kaise aaya?

Maahi looks at him while she slowly gulping down water and keeping the bottle aside while she stare at the window of the house with a smile appear on her lips.

Maahi : I am "Mahira" Shreyas Daughter aur main yaha Daya sir ko jaane aayi hu, ye jaane ki jis insaan ka letter itna sacha tha to aisa kya hua jo unhone meri mumma ko jaane diya apni zindagi se, kyu nahi roka unhe.. unke 7 steps of love mein se 3 hi hua baki 4 ka kya hua..

Suraj was unable to breathe with the shock, he jerk his head getting up from chair and stand behind it. She was looking at him trying to read his expressions but he was too shocked to say anything.

Maahi: Tum Maahi ko jante ho par Mahira ko nahi, you know jab main just born hui thi tabhi mujhe meri mumma se alag kardiya gaaya tha, 5 saal ki thi jab Daya sir se mili thi tab tak mumma jail mein the... kyu ki mujhe bachane ke liye unhone galat rasta chuna tha lekin Daya sir ne shayad apne aap se wada kiya tha isliye wo mujhe dundte rahe tab tak jab tak main unhe mil nahi gaayi. Mumma ke jail se chutne ke baad main unse mili aur unke saath rahi,Suraj jaante ho,itne saalo mein mumma ne sirf 3 logo se pyaar kiya ek mujhse, dusra apni maa se aur theesra Daya sir se.

Suraj was constantly looking at her while seeing her changing expression with eachword and the things she had in her heart for so long.

Maahi : (looks at him)Wo inn teeno baat ke rehgaayi... Tum yahi soch rahe ho na, main itne saalo baad yaha kya kar rahi hu.. (she open her bag which he took from car)Shreya ka letter Daya tak pahunchane aayi hu..

Suraj:(freaking out)what the....(maahi glare at him)I .. I mean wow that means shreya..nahi your mom unho ne ye letter padha?kaise kab?aur wo kaha hain?aur tum ye keh rahi ho ki shreya did love daya nit married some one..(looking at maahi)mera matlabh hain shaadi tumhare dad se ki?why?(staring at her)aur you ok with this?(maahi raise her eyes)yahi ki apni mom ke ex boyfriend ya lover ko unka love letter dene aayi ho..?

Maahi:(smiles at him)I did not accept for you to say this, Daya sir ka love letter padhke bhi ye sawal puch rahe ho aur tumne to mujhe pe story bhi banayi jisse tum star journalist ban gaaye the phir bhi puch rahe ho.

"Suraj bite his lips recollecting his first cover story on a girl Maahira rescued by the CID officer Dayanand Shetty from the world most wanted goon Barbosa..."

Suraj:(jerking his head)Acha fine, I am sorry.. abh mujhe aise lagr hain ki wo story bhi adhuri thi?tumhari mom ko maine kabhi cover hi nahi kiya.. I never knew about her or daya ki love story ke baremein.

Maahi :(looking at envelop smiles) doesn't matter anymore,shayad iss letter ko dene mein bhi bohut der hogayi hain lekin daya sir ke sare sawalo ka jawab iss khat mein hain jo mujhe daya sir tak pahunchna hain kisi bhi halat mein.

Suraj :(shouting jumping)Idiot, then we have to find him. Cid pe documentary banae se ya Daya ke ghar ko kahridne se ye sab nahi hoga.

Maahi:(laughing)Suraj, do you seriously think ki maine wo sari kosish nahi hongi..

Suraj: (confused)Matlabh?

Maahi: Its not useful wo kaha hain kisiko nahi pata so last option yahi hain ki main CID mein aur Daya sir ke ghar tak pahuchu, taki kisina kisi bhane kabhi na kabhi wo yaha aaye.

Suraj : You mean, iss ghar ko bechne wo yaha aayenge..

Maahi :Hmm, may be.. lets hope..

Suraj : Now i understand, you are making a documentry on ex officers of CID to usmein Daya bhi aayega..

Maahi : Now you are getting it right,waise you know iss waqt jo CID ke ACP hain Mr. Sachin sir wo daya sir ke saath kaam karte the wo zarur kuch na kuch to jante hi honge.

Suraj:(glancing at letter)did you read your mom letter..

Maahi :(looking at it)Have patience, jab tak wo insaan na padhe jiske liye ye letter hain hum kaise padh skate hain.

Suraj:then you did read daya letter?

Maahi:indeed, mumma ne bhi padhli thi phir ek din...(jerking her head)dosent matter now..

Suraj :(feeling upset)I wished ki inki love story puri hoti.

Maahi:(smiling)This is my biggest wish which I always wanted!

He looks at her keenly smiling as she put back the letter and he drop back Daya letter in the envelop as he give it back to him. She smiles as she held it back and held it for a second then keep it back in bag.

He sit on his knee while holding her hand as she looks at him with questing looks.

Suraj:Iss letter se ek baat to pata chal gaayi ki kab kya ho nahi pata isliye I want to propose right now.

She widen her eyes with confused look as he grab onion rings and hold it.

Suraj:Will you become my life and make me cry, laugh, happy with you...Please I like and love you as well.

Maahi:Knowing i am the Mahira jispe tumne apni pheli story likhi thi as journalist.

Suraj:(brushing his hair)haa uss story ke karan to hum mile.. so dont make me wait and tell me..

Maahi:Ofcourse yes..

He pass the onion ring in her ring fonger while he hugs while she was sitting on chair and he wishper in her ear.

Suraj:Thank goodness tumne haa kehidya warna..

Maahi:(breaking hug)warna?

Suraj:Warna,mujhe iss incomplete love story ka end kaise pata chalta?(maahi glare at him) baby, i have to know where is your mom and Daya.. aur mostly importantly what is in shreyas letter?

She hit him on chest as he pull her into a tight hug while both laughing..
