Anubhav was sitting alone in his room and thinking about Haseena's worries for stairs.. for dark room.. her shivering's.. her reactions.. Rohan came to him.. understood his dilemma..he asked him..

Anubhav: Rohan main kya karu.. kaise karu kuch samajh nahi aa raha....

Rohan : Kyu kya hua Anubhav.. Haseena theek to hai na...

Anubhav: Voh pehle se better hai par abhi bahut kuch hai jo na samajh aa raha hai.. na hi voh kuch batati hai... uske dil ki baatein.. uska dar.. sab kaise pata karu.... directly puchunga to koi jawaab nahi degi upar se disturb aur ho jayegi..... har waqt ek darr sa laga rehta hai ki kahi usko kuch ho na jaaye..... aaj lag raha hai jaise kehna aasan tha par karna kitna mushkil hai... main chah kar bhi uski takleef kam nahi kar pata.... College mein meri puri koshish hoti hai uske saath rehne ki par nahi rah pata... galti kar di maine cricket team mein apna naam dekar.. practice mein bahut time spend karna padta hai aur utne waqt use college mein akele chhodne ka man nahi hota...

Rohan : Anubhav tu chinta mat kar... main hoon na.. uska poora dhyan rakhunga jab tu nahi hoga.. maana ek baar galti ho gayi par ab nahi hogi (in his mind: ab mujhe pata hai kaun use nuksaan pahuncha sakta hai)

Anubhav: mujhe pata hai aur sach kahu toh bahut himmat milti hai jab tum sab saath hote hai.. par meri bhi to zimmedari hai... aaj agar main break mein vaapas nahi aaya hota toh ... maine dekha tha ek dum udaas si akele baithi thi class mein...... library ki baat bhi batane mein itna hichkicha rahi thi.. kuch to hai jo voh sabse chhupa rahi hai.. uske dil mein koi toh baat hai.. koi darr hai jo mujhe pata lagani hi hogi...

Rohan : Tu chinta mat kar... hum sab hai tere saath... kuch sochte hai...

Ramdhari enters with coffee and snacks for them...

Ramdhari: Rohan bhaiya voh aaj bhi aapka phone aaya tha Delhi se... aap baat kar lijiye na.. hume daant khaani padti hai roj phone par....

Rohan to avoid him and said... Haan haan kar lunga ab tum jaao ...

Anubhav: Kya baat hai Rohan... tu baat nahi karta Delhi mein kisi se... Kuch hua hai kya..

Rohan : arey koi baat nahi hai.. tu janta hai na isko to aadat hai.. tu chhod aur ye coffee le..

Anubhav (stubbornly) : Dekh Rohan main tujhse har baat share karta hun.. aur mujhe lag raha hai jab se tu aaya hai ki koi baat hai jo tu hasi mein taal deta hai... kuch hai jo tu mujhse chhupa raha hai.. bata tujhe meri kasam...

Rohan : Kya bachchon jaisi zid hai...

Anubhav: Haan hai.. chal ab jaldi bata agar tu mujhe bhai manta hai to.. tera achanak yaha aana.. mere college mein admission lena.. jabki tu to Delhi ke kisi bhi best college mein admission le sakta tha..…........

Rohan angrily : Haan toh kya mein puppet hun ki jo bhi ghar wale chahenge vahi karunga... mere apne sapne.. apna dil nahi hai kya... aur mera dil mujhe gawahi nahi deta un logon jaisa banne ka...

Anubhav: Main samjha nahi.. please dhang se bata hua kya hai...

Rohan: Anubhav tujhe pata hai.. shuru se hi Dadi ko tera hamare ghar mein rehna.. mujhse aur Deepika se baat karna nahi pasand tha.. phir bhi hamesha maine unhe bada maan kar unki baat nahi taali.. jab mujhe laga ki tere saath anyay ho raha hai toh maine Nanaji ko sab kuchhl bata diya aur voh tujhe yaha le aaye.. Dadi iss baat se mujhse kai dinon tak naraaj rahi par mujhe fark nahi padta...

He continues : Phir jab Nanaji ke ilaaj ki wajah se ek saal tujhe vaha rehna pada mein bahut khush tha ki ab hum hamesha saath rahenge.. par Dadi ne voh Khushi bhi mujhse chhin li... tujhe nahi pata par maine suna tha.. unhone mummy papa ko dhamki di thi ki agar unhone saal khatm hone ke baad tujhe yahaan nahi bheja to voh ghar chhod kar chali jayengi... aur mummy papa bhi maan gaye... par yeh galat hai.. kya unki koi zimmedari nahi banti tere liye...

Anubhav: Rohan.. main sab jaanta hun... tu kyu dukhi hota hai yeh sab soch kar..... aur jo hona tha voh ho chuka hai.... ab kaisi narazgi...

Rohan: Nahi Anubhav yeh galat hai... tujhe pata hai tere aane ke baad Dadi ne mera admission London mein karwane ke liye form mangwaya tha.. taaki main tujhse dur rah saku.. voh tujhe neecha dikhana chahti thi..... maine Papa se kaha bhi ki agar main jaa sakta hun to Anubhav kyun nahi.. is baat par Dadi ne itna Hungama machaya aur Mummy Papa ne unki baat phir se maan bhi li... usi raat maine Nanu ko phone karke apna admission yaha karwa liya aur tere paas aa gaya... Jis ghar mein bachchon ke beech bhed bhav ho us ghar se mera koi waasta nahi... yaha Nanu bhi toh hai jo hum dono ko barabar ka pyar karte hai jabki mera to unse koi khoon ka Rishta bhi nahi hai.. aur tu.. tu jo mujhse itna pyar karta hai.. uska kya... toh kya jarurat hai is pyar bhare mahol ko chhod kar main nafrat ke beech apni zindagi guzaru... nahi karni mujhe koi bhi baat Dadi se... aur tu mujhe force bhi nahi karega... samjha.. tujhe meri kasam...

Anubhav cried.. hug him tightly and said: Kisne kaha tera mera Rishta nahi hai.. khoon ka na sahi par dil ka to hai na... tujhse best bhai to mujhe mil hi nahi sakta tha...

Rohan wiping his tears: achchha yeh sab chhod aur ab bata karna kya hai... Haseena ke baare mein kuch socha hai.. kaise janega tu ki kya problem hai

Anubhav: Pata nahi.. par kuch to sochna padega.. shayad uske saath thoda jyada waqt guzarna padega..... aaj ki sabse badi problem hai meri cricket practice... voh bahut akeli ho jaati hai... aaj bahut udaas thi jab main class mein aaya to.. aur uske baad ek alag hi Khushi thi uske chehre par... itna toh jaan hi gaya hun ki mera saath use khush rakhta hai... shayad miss karti hai mujhe par kahegi nahi kabhi...

Rohan (teasingly): haye haye... bada chehra padna aa gaya tujhko... ab dil ki baat kehna bhi seekh le bhai... kab tak yun aankhon aankhon mein hi baatein karoge...

Anubhav (shyly): "woh din bhi jaldi aayega... Promise" and they hug each other

Haseena Preeti also reached home, "Tujhe kya hua hai.. aaj badi khush lag rahi hai" Haseena said observing a lasting smile spread on Preeti's face since then they left from college... "pata hai ab tu kuch bhi kahe mujhe poora vishwas hai ki Anubhav hi tere chehre ki woh muskaan jo kho gayi thi vaapas le aayega" Preeti said circling her arm in her neck.. Haseena hit on her arm.. "aisa kuch nahi hai.. bas hum achchhe dost hai aur usne meri madad ki thi... jyada sapne mat dekha kar"... Preeti giggled and said in dramatic tone.. "bachchaaaa.. sapne dekhogi nahi toh sach kaise honge... yeh Preeti baba ka aashirwaad hai ki tumhare saare sapne jaldi hi sach honge"... they both burst into laughter holding their stomach seeing her antics... Bela was standing at the door smiling with tears seeing Haseena laughing like this after such a long time, "bhagwan kare isko kisi ki nazar na lage"
