PS: Continuation of the last one.

-----------------------------------------------------------

Gungun who was hearing her went numbed, the Kulshresths could see that, the countless tears were flowing down her cheeks on her accusations as she whispered, "I guess, I failed...as a daughter."

Anubhav who was sitting beside her, heard what she whispered, infact everyone did, except Maya. The Kulshresths now were done with Maya, they made their Gungun shed tears, it was done for them while hearing her accusations on Gungun as Sargam said from behind to Maya, "Maya Ji! Ab Gungun ke khilaaf ek shabd nahi!"

As soon Maya heard what Sargam said, she spoke up to Gungun, "Tum ab bhi vahin ho? Tum vahaan itni der kaise ruk sakti ho!?"

"Maya Ji, yeh ab uska bhi ghar hai toh Gungun yahaan kitni der bhi ruk sakti hai, usse humme se koi vajah nahi puchega!" said Charudatt, for the first time rudeness was visible in his tone.

Gungun didn't said anything, she was so engrossed in her thoughts that she could just sit there like a statue and hear what they say, when Goli spoke up, "Aur Gungun kaisi beti hai, aapse behtar hum jaante hain! Voh bohot achi hai...."

"World ki best beti aur hone wali bahu" added Golu from behind.

Gungun there wasn't in state to say anything seeing so much love getting showered on her from the Kulshresths when Maya said, "Gungun ghar aao! Vaise bhi tumhare paas kahin aur rehne ki jagah hai bhi!?"

"Zaroorat padi toh hotel mein rahungi, voh nahi mila toh road pe rahungi, but vahaan nahi aaungi!" yelled Gungun, leaving everyone starrled as Anubhav looked at Gungun and said, "Tum yahin rahogi. Kahin aur jaane ki zaroorat hi kya hai? Vaise bhi Bade Papa ne kaha ki tum apni marzi se yahaan ruk sakti ho!"

"Aur nahi toh kya?" said Yug from behind.

Everyone said in agreement that Gungun shoud have a night stay there only as Gungun obliged to their orders and pleadings, when Anubhav answered to Maya, "Gungun humare saath ruk rhi hai. I don't think aapko problem honi chahiye and agr hai toh it's none of our problem."

Maya was about to say something when Anubhav disconnected the call, as now everyone's attention went to Gungun who was sobbing hysterically, as Chandragupt said softly, "Unki baaton pe dhyaan mat do Beta..."

Goli went near her, as she side hugged Gungun, patting her head affectionately. Gungun didn't knew what to say, as she got up and said, "Main thik hoon, don't worry. Vaise bhi late hogya hai, aap log so jaiye, main yahaan hall mein hi rahungi....'

"Lekin Gungun beta..." started Sargam but was interrupted as Gungun said, "Musical Aunty, vaise bhi mujhe akele rehne ki aadat hai.... Aap sab pareshaan mat hoiye...."

Now, who could win against Gungun's stubbornness as they made their way inside, while Gungun sat down on the couch tirelessly.

Gungun held her head, as a sob escaped her lips, she was tired of Maya and her insults as she rested her head on the head rest of the couch, as she closed her eyes, letting the tears flow down. This is her honest reality of life, this is what happens to her everytime Maya calls her, this is how everytime she breaks down and then the other moment, pretends to be all happy even though she was, but how can someone be exactly 'fine' after facing so much.

Gungun slipped into a deep slumber unknown to herself, when Anubhav who was watching her all this time from behind the pillar, came near her as he started to massage her forehead without making any noise. For the second time in the day did Anubhav found Gungun this broken, and the reason was none other then her Mom again.

But along with Anubhav, other Kulshresths too were restless and were hiding somewhere in the hall itself, unsure if Gungun does something while what broke their hearts was her silence.

When they saw Anubhav going to Gungun and massaging her head, they smiled as they came out of the place they were, and were startled that the whole family was present there.

All of them got near Gungun as they surrounded her, sitting in the hall itself, while Anubhav even after noticing them continued to massage Gungun's forehead when Goli said sitting on the nearby couch, "Hum samajh bhi nahi sakte ki aaj Gungun par kya beeti hogi..."

"Hume toh yeh samajh nahi aarha ki Maya ji Gungun ke saath aisa kaise kr sakti hain?" said an clearly disappointed Charudatt from Maya's behaviour towards her very own daughter.

Everyone nodded in agreement as Gungun's head was about to fall down when Anubhav immediately got seated on the couch as he kept a pillow on his lap, and just on time did Gungun's head fell on the pillow which was on Anubhav's lap, while everyone smiled teasing looking at Anubhav, while Anubhav sighed at his family.

Everyone left the couple alone, not before they ensure that Gungun won't catch cold while sleeping in the hall, so they covered her with blanket as they left stress-free knowing that Anubhav will handle her if she wakes up.

Gungun sneered in her sleep, when Anubhav patted her head to sleep, and that's when he noticed the tear marks on her face, as he wiped off the tear marks from her face carefully, not waking her up.

Anubhav looked at her sleeping figure as he thought, "I don't know but pta nahi kyun, aaj Doctor Maya ko tumse galat tarah se baat krte dekh bohot bura laga aur gussa bhi aaya.... Well, I hope ki Doctor Maya ki vajah se tumhari life mein aur problems create na ho..."

Gungun smiled in her sleep, as she snuggled into Anubhav's stomach, getting into the most peaceful slumber of her life. She felt that she was somewhere safe, even without knowing whom she was close to. While Anubhav was a bit baffled but still continued to pat her head when the sleep surrounded him, as he slept in the same position.

Next morning Gungun was the first one to wake up in the whole house, as she found herself lying on Anubhav's lap as she thought still being in the same position, "Main yahaan? Chant Chashmish ke paas kyun so rhi hoon?"

Gungun recalled the blurry images of last night, as even though she was in sleep, she remembered that someone was massaging her head, and she knew it couldn't be someone other then Anubhav. Gungun smiled at his and the family's concern as she tried to get up without breaking Anubhav's sleep, but failed to do so when Anubhav woke up when she made her attempts to get up.

On finding him awake, Gungun sat up as she said, "Sorry, voh main tumhare upr aise..."

"Koi baat nahi..." replied Anubhav with a decent smile when Gungun saw Anubhav, placing his arm on his neck as he rotated it, when Gungun said, "Tumhare neck mein pain horha hai?"

Anubhav was about to deny, but Gungun dragged Anubhav to his room as she looked around for the relieve-spray, or oinment and thankfully she found the oinment as she asked Anubhav to sit, "Betho tum yahaan."

"Main kr longa, don't worry..."said Anubhav but was interrupted when Gungun shushed him, and making him sit, she started to put the oinment on his neck with her hands.

Anubhav closed his eyes on feeling her touch on his neck, as he felt relief from the pain, when Gungun climbed on the bed as Anubhav questioned, "Yeh kya kr rhi ho?"

But he stopped, when Gungun started to massage his shoulders, and pressed the pressure points which made him relax as Gungun said, "Tum mujhe mere pain se relief dene ke liye meri forehead massage krsakte ho, puri night itni uncomfortable position mein reh sakte ho toh main itna toh kr hi sakti hoon na. Now, close your eyes!"

Anubhav did as instructed while Gungun continued to massage his shoulder, as the time passed by.

It was afternoon, the day was passing on smoothly, as the Kulshresths and Gungun were sitting in the hall, laughing when Chavvi came in the hall tensed, "Anu Bhaiya, Yug Bhaiya, mujhe mere project mein help chahiye! Yeh kuch lights se related hai, and ek working chiz dikhani hai. And I don't know kaise mere dimaag se nikal gya!"

"Calm down Chavvi! Hum sab help krte hain na tumhari.... Ruko, samaan collect krke laate hain." said Anubhav, as he along with Yug and Golu gang went and got all the necessary equipments.

All of them started to help Chavvi with the project while Gungun sat back watching them, an hour or so passed on as Anubhav said, "Yeh hogya. Chalo, try krte hain, Chavvi voh dono wires connect kr aur phir switch on krna..."

Chavvi did as instructed by Anubhav but the model didn't worked as Khushi spoke up being tired, "Bhaiya, yeh hua kaise nahi?"

Anubhav looked at the model again, looking at it all around as he said, "Vahi toh samajh nahi aarha Khushi, ki kahaan galat hua hai..."

Chavvi and everyone sat on the couch disappointed, while Anubhav was still examining the structure, when Gungun got up as she went near the modal, and started to twist it a bit, as Anubhav said, "Kya kr rhi ho Papa Ki Pari?"

While Gungun instead of answering continued to examine, and she found a wire as she spoke up, "Ankit bhaiya ek extension board leke aayega, aur Chant Chashmish, mujhe voh lights dena..."

"Arey lekin kr kya rhi ho?" questioned Anubhav as he got up when Gungun replied, "Arey, do toh sahi!"

Anubhav and Ankit got the things, as Gungun started to attach it carefully to the model, as she spoke up still engrossed, "Chavvi, mujhe voh screw driver dena..."

Chavvi handed over the screw driver, as Gungun completed with what she was doing as she said, "Khushi, mujhe ek glass jar laake dena..."

Khushi went to get the glass jar, as she came back and handing it over to Gungun she questioned, "Yeh thik hai na?"

Gungun immediately nodded her head in a "Yes" happily as she said, "Perfect!"

Gungun kept the lights inside the jar as she spoke up, "Round Chachu please hall ki lights off krdijiyena na..."

Golu went and switched off the light, and as he came back, Gungun pressed the switch, as the lights turned on, giving them the marvelous view as everyone was surprised but smiled looking at it.

Gungun backed off as she looked at it with a satisfactory smile, and then went to switch on the lights, as she turned off the lights of glass jar and spoke up, "Yeh lo Chavvi, tumhara project ready hai!"

"Tumhe yeh connecting wires wali chiz itni professionally kaise aati hai? And, this creative idea?" asked Anubhav, completely surprised and that's when they heard a voice which enraged them, "So, meri beti ka phir se Science mein interest aarha hai?"

Everyone looked at the source of voice who was none other then Maya, as Gungun looked down to her hands, as she found that she was holding the wires in them, she immediately kept the wires down, maintaining a distance from the project, while she thought, "Main phir ek baar yeh kaise krsakti hoon?"

While Anubhav who looked at Gungun's action was quite much taken aback, and specially after hearing Maya he was more doubtful if Gungun had any connections with science which was ruined?
