AD Vila…
After coming back home, Daya spent a really busy Monday, getting the briefings of the piled up works waiting for his return where on the top of those works, sorted out by Paul, was the meeting of Daya with his legal advisor and Paul's withdrawing from the responsibility of power of attorney, though Daya thanked him in sincere for taking care of all the matters such nicely and responsibly in his absence while sidewise thanking him in tease too, for not bringing the advocate at London airport, seeing Paul's hurry to hand over the responsibility back to Daya…
Where Aryaan spent most of his time after coming home, in sleeping and meeting his home buddies, that were his pets, which missed him and he missed them too…
Tuesday morning had rose in Nottingham and before taking breakfast, Daya and Aryaan had talked in Mumbai too, knowing about their family's safe return to home and Abhijeet's staying in Delhi, with whom they couldn't talk, because of his number coming switched off…
Where after taking his breakfast with his father, now Aryaan was back in his room, sitting on his bed when Daya reached there and got stopped on the door step seeing his kid, sitting there in complete silence while bouncing his football, looking absent-minded…
Inhaling deeply, Daya moved ahead and reaching near his son, smoothly caught the bouncing ball, breaking Aryaan's trance who turned his gaze in the direction and seeing his father there, silently moved his head down when seeing Daya was now sitting beside him…
Aryaan inhaled deeply and while trying to sound casual, told him as: Dad aap ki aaj gyaran bjjy ki appointment hai Dr. Charles k sath tou main aap ko around 10:30 pick ker lun ga, ager aap office mein hoye tou wahan sy, warna phir site sy… Aur Paul uncle ko main ny btta dia tha kal hi, tou unhon ny aap ka ten to twelve slot free rakha hai aaj…
Daya, who was listening him in silence after placing the football aside on the bed, nodded with: Hmm, achha kia aap ny… (Aryaan smiled lightly where Daya taking a pause, told him silently as…) Wasey main ny bhi aaj gyaran bjjy ki hi appointment li hai, aap k liye, Dr. Charles sy…
Aryaan looked up at him in shock with: Mairy liye…? (Daya turned his gaze towards him and nodded calmly where Aryaan tried to assure his father as…) Lekin Dad, main tou theek hoon bilkul…
Daya, while wrapping his kid's hand in his own, replied him in soft smile as: Bs yehi baat main aik baar Dr. Charles sy sun'nna chahta hoon… (Aryaan giving him a glance, nodded silently where Daya taking a few moments' pause, softly placed a care-filled kiss on his son's hand while asking him in real polite tone as…) Aryaan, guddy aap ko idea hai na k ab aap ko football sy apna interest shift kerna ho ga, please…?
Aryaan nodded in complete silence, moving his head a little more down where moving his hand, Daya softly placed it on the cheek of his son while lifting his face up and turned his face towards himself… As soon as he looked at his son's face, Daya got really silent seeing the moisture present in his son's eyes, who, taking his hand out from his soft grip, just hugged his father really tightly, burying his face inside his love-filled chest, where Daya smoothly tightened his grip around his son while placing a soft kiss on his head and kept rubbing his free hand in his kid's head, consoling him in silence as he very well knew, how much his kid was fond of football…
When after few minutes of comfortable silence; thinking to divert his mind or to comfort his kid at some comfortable place…
Daya, still rubbing his kid's head softly, told him caringly as: Aryaan, baitu kafi time ho gaya hai na iss baar mujhy Jennie sy milny gaye hoye, purey eight visits due hain mujh py aap ki Mamma k tou ab mujhy mairy bachchy ki help chahiye yar… (Aryaan slowly moving back looked up at his father in question where Daya cupping his face softly, smoothly wiped off the moisture present on his face and giving a soft kiss on his forehead, asked him lovingly as…) Chalo gy kya mairy sath, apni Mamma sy milny…? (Aryaan's eyes turned a little more open in disbelief as a response of the query as it was not his mother's death anniversary and he was not allowed by his father to visit his mother there, without that day or alone, so was shocked where Daya added in light smile as…) Main uss k angel ko as a bribe ly k jaon ga na ager, tou shaid mujhy dant thori kmm pry, aap ka kya khayal hai iss barey mein, hmm…?
A beautiful moist smile was playing on his kid's face now and he just again hid himself in that comforting secure shell while giving him a node where Daya had tightly wrapped his security around his kid, placing a soft kiss on his son's head and was now sitting there, resting his chin on his head…
After few minutes, Daya smoothly loosened his grip around his kid while caringly moving him back and…
Daya placing his hand on his cheek, softly, told him as: Jao aap aur jaldi sy pyara sa gudda bn k aao, phir chalty hain aap ki Mamma ko "Hi…!" kehny, hmm…
Aryaan nodded in light smile and stood up, when taking a step ahead, he moved back and giving a tight squeezing hug to his father, left from there towards his dressing, after placing a soft kiss on his cheek, where Daya kept sitting there in light smile, looking at the way his kid had gone and then his gaze fell on the football, placed just aside him and inhaling a deep breath, he stood up, grabbing the football, placed it at its place and then left to change his outfits too…
Soon both father and son were present in the drive way, dressed in black suits and then, on Daya's suggestion, the two left to meet Aryaan's Mamma, in Aryaan's car, drove by him…
Graveyard…
Reaching at the entrance of the graveyard, the two moved down from the car and moved inside, side by side with Aryaan's hand, wrapped in his father's hand, where reaching near their beloved person's resting place, the two got seated near it on the grass, after placing the flower bouquet on her, which they brought there for her…
Daya was sitting there in complete silence while looking at the grave, with his one arm wrapped around his kid's back while the other one was softly weaving inside Aryaan's head, who was sitting there with his legs folded backwards, resting on the grass and his head was resting on his father's knees as he was bowing towards his father's legs while wrapping his arms around Daya's folded-standing legs, looking completely quiet while gazing at the place, his mother was sleeping peacefully…
After few minutes of comfortable silence, enjoyed by both…
Aryaan's silent voice rose as: Dad, Mamma ny kabhi aap k liye aaj k din ka fast rakha kya…?
Daya inhaling a deep breath, looked at him with: Hmm, humari married life mein doo baar hi aaya bs yeh din… (Added smilingly as…) Aik baar varat rakha uss ny aur mujhy bilkul surprise dy dia, idea hi nahin tha mujhy bilkul k woh easa kuchh ker rahi hai… Bilkul Eastern style mein taiyar hue thi woh uss rooz, bohut khobsorat lg rahi thi, blood red colour ki saree pehni thi uss ny, jb k ussy saree pehn'nna nahin aata tha, lekin sirf mairy liye seekhi thi uss ny, sirf mairi khushi k liye…
And he stopped there, looking lost in that era when…
Aryaan, who was smiling silently during whole that, softly brought him back in present while asking as: Aur dosri baar nahin rakha Mamma ny kya…?
Daya, who came back in the present world with a slight jerk, listening his kid's voice, softly weaved in his head in light smile while replying him as: Woh tou rakhna chahti thi lekin main ny ussy rakhny nahin dia kyun k bohut jald bhagwan jee humari zindagion mein aik nanha munha sa angel bhaijny waly thy tb…
And bowing over his kid, he placed a soft kiss on his cheek whose smile got deepened listening that and…
Aryaan asked him as: Dad, aap k paas video hai kya Mamma ki…?
Daya smoothly weaved his fingers in his hair while replying as: Hmm, daikho gy aap…?
Aryaan nodded slightly with: Jee, please…
Daya nodded while replying as: Aaj dinner k baad mairy room mein aa jana, tb tk main woh video dhond k rakh lun ga, phir mil k daikhien gy, theek hai…?
Aryaan nodded agreeably while giving a soft kiss on his father's hand with: Love you, Dad…
Daya's smile got deepened and placing a soft kiss on his cheek, he whispered softly as: Love you back, mairy pyary sy tot'ty… (Aryaan smiled lightly when taking few moments' pause, Daya added softly as…) Aryaan, baitu, mujhy aap sy baat kerni thi kuchh…
Aryaan, still sitting in the same posture, nodded slightly with: Tou kijiye na Dad, please, aap ko jo bhi baat kerni hai…
Daya inhaling a deep breath, smoothly weaved in his kid's head while coming directly to the point as: Chanda, Salunkhy sahab ny mujh sy apni aik wish share ki hai, aap sy related… (Aryaan slowly moving back, looked up at him in confused-questioning gaze where Daya softly placed his hand on his cheek while telling him as…) Woh chahty hain k aap unhien Nanu bulao… (Aryaan's eyes turned wide opened in shock where Daya softly cupped his face with…) I know that it must be difficult for you to call someone like that who has never met your mother but…
Aryaan cut him silently while looking at him with: But he wasn't talking through the reference of my Mamma but through the reference of his daughter, isn't it…? (Daya, who was looking at his son's face, nodded in silence where Aryaan inhaled a deep breath while replying in calm-straight tone as…) You are right, Dad, I am sorry but it's not only difficult, it's impossible… (Removing Daya's hand from his face, smoothly grabbed it in his own hand while asking looking down as…) Remember Dad, once you've said, that only my Mamma is my Mamma and I am not having any bari-maa, chhoti-maa or step-maa, ever…
Daya replied in silent smile while tightening his grip on his kid's hand with: Yeah, I remember, baitu…
Aryaan inhaling deeply, told him as: That's the only reason why I couldn't call Bhabo with that term because from the very childhood this thing is present in my mind and personality that only my mother is my mother and she is the only one having the right to be called with any term related to this relation and no new relation can replace her place or over-shadow her place in my life… (Shook his head slightly with…) I cannot call anyone else with any term and relation that is strictly restricted with my own mother only, sorry…
Daya, who was having a light smile on his face during whole that because of already knowing that his kid would respond in the same way, replied softly as: You know what kid, I already knew that you would say the same thing… (Aryaan looked up at him in question like asking as "Then why did you ask ME instead of excusing from him…?", where his father himself replied as…) But still I asked you the query because there's no hesitation present between we two and hence it feels more good to at least ask for once, isn't it…? (Aryaan smiled lightly while giving him a node and again went in his previous posture with his arms wrapped around his father's legs and his face, rested on Daya's knees where Daya placing a soft kiss on his cheek, added politely as…) Wasey Aryaan, main ny iss baat ka aik solution socha hai, js sy maira gudda bhi disturb nahin ho ga aur Salunkhy sahab ki baat bhi reh jaye gi…
Aryaan still looking at his mother's grave-tomb, asked quietly as: Kya solution, Dad…?
Daya, while rubbing his head lovingly, replied softly as: The same strategy my kid applied for his Ad'da and Bhabo, change the term… Call him with something that is comfortable for you and pleasing for him, hmm…?
Aryaan, who was listening him silently, nodded while closing his eyes with: Yeah, good idea, Dad, I'll think on it…
Daya smiled softly and then changing the topic, asked him politely as: Aryaan, ab ghar chalien kya baita…?
Aryaan slightly shook his head with: Mujhy nahin jana ghar, Dad, main yahin sy aap k office aa jaon ga baad mein, mujhy yahan achha lg raha hai…
Daya was listening his kid in silent smile because of already knowing that it would be difficult to bring him back from the graveyard if would took him there though he knew it too that, that meeting of his kid with kid's mother was essential too, because the kid must be missing his mother after returning from meeting his paternal family, so he took him there, but of course with a backup plan of how to bring him back with himself so…
Daya softly rubbed his thumb on Aryaan's cheek while reminding him softly as: Lekin chanda, main office kaisy jaon ga…? Main tou aap k sath aaya hoon na yahan, Max tou ghar py hai aur main drive nahin kerta… (To cheer up his son, asked in light tone as…) Kahin maira red rabbit, itny time sy jog py na jany ka bdla, 20 km walk kerwa k tou nahin laina chah raha mujh sy, kyun k cab stand yahan sy, kmm sy kmm itna dour tou ho ga hi…
Aryaan, who was listening his father having a sweet smile on his face now, told him in slow-smiley tone as: Don't worry Dad, koe bdla nahin laina chah raha main aap sy… (Making face, added as…) Wasey bhi aap k sath kiye jany waly mairy sb pranks ya sb bdly, almost every time backfire hi kerty hain… (A sweet smile got appeared on his father's face listening that cute complaint where he requested as…) Thori daer aur baithty hain na Dad please, bs thori si daer…
Daya looked at him in soft smile while giving him a node with: Zaror baitho, guddy, bs yeh yaad rakhna please k mairi noo bjjy staff meeting hai, and its already eight…
Aryaan nodded slightly while moving back and then looked up at his father with a little hope as: Dad, main aap ko office drop ker k, wapis aa jaon please…?
Daya, looked at his kid for a moment and then cupping his face, placed a soft kiss on his forehead while replying him politely as: Aryaan, aap maira jawab pehly hi janty ho na bachchy, hmm…?
Aryaan giving him a slight-silent node, took out his face from his father's soft grip and hugging him around his waist, silently rested his head on Daya's shoulder who, giving a soft kiss on his head, kept weaving in his hair while remembering the day when…
Aryaan was almost seven years old, and unlike other days, he didn't come to his father's office and for the ninth time, Daya had looked at the office clock and his wrist-watch, to find fifteen minutes had been passed from Aryaan's usual time of arrival, so grabbing his mobile, he finally dialled a number of Aryaan's school bus driver and attached the mobile with his ear and as soon as the call got attended…
Daya asked the callee as: Hello Henry, is everything alright…? Fifteen minutes has passed from the usual time but Aryaan hasn't arrived up till now, so I have started getting worried now…?
Henry replied in confused tone as: But sir, Aryaan wasn't in the school bus today…
Daya instantly stood up from the chair in great shock with: What…! (And replied instantly in great worry as…) But I've dropped him at his school in the morning, myself…?
Henry replied him as: But he wasn't present in the school bus… I've asked from Jack too, he said, Aryaan had left the school already by himself, so I thought you came today, to pick him up…
Daya, whose forehead was covered with sweat drops now, spread hand on his face with: But Henry, whenever I go to pick him up, I always call you, at least you should tell me that he wasn't present in the bus… Is Jack still in the school bus…?
Henry answered him as: No sir, the bus is on the usual route and time so has passed your stop in time and ten minutes ago have dropped Jack too…
Daya, whose mind was working in speed now, replied him as: Okay, thanks…
And ending the call with him, he hurriedly dialled to Aryaan's class teacher and as soon as the call got attended…
Daya, instantly asked her as: Ms. Catherine, was Aryaan present in his class today…?
Ms. Catherine replied him confusingly as: Yes, he was in the class the whole time, why…?
Daya replied her in extreme tension as: He wasn't present in his school bus, his classmate Jack told the bus driver that he himself left the school but he never did this before…
Ms. Catherine, who was known about Aryaan being a single parent child, replied consolingly as: I think, I have some idea why he did this today and where he can go…
Daya asked instantly as: Where…?
Ms. Catherine replied in silent tone as: Coming Sunday is Mother's day and today we had some drama rehearsal for the program in the classroom…
Daya, who was really quiet on his place listening that, replied as: Thank you Ms. Catherine, bye…
And the call got ended from both sides, where Daya left the office, the same moment while grabbing his wallet and mobile with himself…
Reaching in front of the graveyard, he paid the cab driver and rushed inside towards his kid's mother's resting place and reaching at the place, he stopped there for a moment while taking a sigh of relief seeing his heartbeat present there, sitting on the grass, attaching his head with the tombstone…
Moving ahead with fast steps, Daya just grabbed his son from his arm and making him stand, pulled him up in his arms while wrapping tightly inside his arms, who had hugged his father really tightly while bursting out in hard cry and Daya placing a kiss on his head, kept rubbing his head in silence, without saying him anything… After few minutes of comfort, Daya smoothly moved his son back in the hug and wiping off his moist face, placed a soft kiss on his cheek and giving him an assuring smile, again wrapped him tightly inside his supportive and understanding shell, where Aryaan smoothly rested his head on his shoulder while closing his eyes… Where bending his knees a little, Daya grabbed Aryaan's water bottle while his school bag was still present on his shoulders, which Daya smoothly took out and grabbing both things in his hand while having his son in his lap, Daya left from there, biding a silent bye to his wife…
Leaving the graveyard, he walked towards his home, which was not much far and he was habitual of coming there every Friday, by having a walk…
Daya's Home…
Entering inside his home, he left towards his room after locking the main door and placing the school bag and water bottle on the table present in the room, he softly called out his son when getting silence in response, he caringly moved Aryaan back from the hug to find him fallen asleep till then… A sad smile approached Daya's face and moving ahead, he caringly made him lay down on the bed and covering him properly, wiped off the reminisces of moisture from his face and placing a soft kiss on his forehead, he left to cook some lunch…
After around half an hour, Daya returned in the room and moving around the bed, placed the tray on the bed-side-table and got seated beside his sleeping son… Bowing over him, he softly spread hand on his head and calling him softly, smoothly woke him up and seeing his opened eyes, he moved ahead, and caringly pulled him in his lap who in that half-sleepy condition, smoothly rested his head on his father's shoulder when…
Daya placing a soft kiss on his cheek, told him politely as: Aryaan, baita pehly lunch ker lo, phir change ker k, soo jana aaram sy…
And receiving just a sleepy node from the later, which Daya knew well was only because of feeling hungry and weak because of walking all the way from his school to his mother's resting place, which was a good walk of around fifteen to twenty minutes, and of course, crying… So he wanted him to take his lunch and then sleep, where weaving in his head, he softly made him drink some water first, grabbing the glass himself, helping him in waking up completely and then grabbing the food tray from the table, caringly started feeding him his lunch, whose head was still present on his father's shoulder, though he was awake now but was quiet…
After few minutes of comfortable silence in the room, in which they took their lunch…
Aryaan's silent voice rose in the room as: Sorry, Dad…
A sad smile approached Daya's face and placing a soft kiss on his forehead, he forwarded the last bite towards him with: It's alright, son, we'll talk about it later…
Aryaan replied silently while slowly chewing the bite as: There in the class, today, they made a tree having small flowers under it, showing mother, shadowing over her kids… (Added in real quiet tone as…) I suddenly started missing my Mamma a lot, so I went to her because I too wanted to feel that shadow…
Daya really fought back the moisture forming in his eyes, remembering his kid was searching for that shadow under his mother's tombstone and he just tightened his grip around his son, placing a soft kiss near his eye and…
Daya told him politely as: You know Aryaan, I too never felt that shadow… (Aryaan turned his gaze towards his father where Daya nodded while looking in his kid's innocent eyes with…) I don't even know who my Mamma was but you know about your Mamma… (Gave him a small smile while softly spreading hand on his face with…) And you are one of those fortunate lucky kids whose mothers are so loved by god that he took them up in the sky, which is spread all over the world, beyond boundaries, making the shadow of those mothers' beyond boundaries too, so that little angels like you don't need to look here and there for the search of that shadow over your heads… (Placing a soft kiss on his forehead, grabbed his little hand caringly in his own, telling him in light smiley tone as…) You don't need to miss your mother, buddy… (Pointing his hand towards his kid's beating heart, added as…) She is here… (And then pointing towards his own heart, added as…) And in here too… (And finally pointing outside the opened room's window, added as…) And up there too… In that smiling sun and twinkling stars and raining clouds… (Turned his gaze back towards his soul with…) She is everywhere because god has made her immortal, just like her selfless love for her son… Just believe it, and you will feel her around you all the time, kid…
Aryaan, who was listening his father in silence and sooth, nodded in very faint smile and just turned while hiding his face in his father's chest, who just squeezed him inside his arms, giving a soft kiss on his head and…
Daya concluded in care-filled-worried tone as: And Aryaan, please just promise me today that you will never go again, to meet your Mamma without me, ever and will never leave school again too…
Aryaan, still wrapping his small arms around his father, nodded in assurance with: Promise, I'll never do this again…
Daya smiled in satisfaction, having a small relaxed smile though had made the mind note too to talk about that happening, with Aryaan's school authorities too, still comforting his kid inside his envelope of endless love for his soul…
And the ringing of mobile broke the trance of both father and son, who were sitting there looking completely peaceful, enjoying that soothing air around them… Where Aryaan smoothly moved back and Daya taking out his ringing mobile, looked at the caller ID and…
Daya attending the call: Yes, Paul…?
Paul replied him with: Sir, you have a staff meeting at nine and it's around 08:20, so thought to remind you…
Daya nodded in a composed way with: Thank you Paul, I'll be there in half-an-hour…
Paul answered as: Right, sir…
And the call got ended from both sides where turning his gaze towards his kid…
Daya softly placed his hand on his cheek with: Chalien…?
Aryaan nodded with: Jee…
Daya gave him a small smile with a light pat and both stood up, biding bye to Jennie in silence, both left towards AD Construction Company because of having no time to go home and change their outfits…
AD Construction Company…
They covered the distance from the graveyard to the company in complete silence, when reaching there, Aryaan parked the car outside the entrance and…
Aryaan looked at Daya in light smile as: Will pick you up around 10:30, Dad…
Daya asked him softly as: Ghar jao gy aap ab ya friends sy milny…?
Aryaan replied as: Ghar, woh log bhi shaam ko ghar aaien gy, Yash ki call aai thi kal…
Daya nodded while adding in soft smile as: Tou phir yahin ruuk jao mairy sath, staff sy bhi mil lo gy, aur phir hospital sy wapsi py mujhy yahan drop ker k, aik hi baar ghar chaly jana, hmm…?
Aryaan nodded in light smile as: Good idea, Dad… Main car park ker k aata hoon phir…
Daya replied in light tone as: Main bhi sath mein hi baithta hoon, thory aur jhooly mil jaien gy…
A sweet chuckle escaped from his kid's mouth and giving him a node, he drove off towards the parking area and after parking the car there, both moved out from the car and stepped towards the entrance of the building when…
Aryaan called out softly as: Dad…!
Daya, still walking, turned his gaze towards him with: Hmm…?
Aryaan said in assuring smile as: I am Okay, sach…
Daya looked at him for few moments and then softly ruffled his hair caringly as: I know, you always are…
Aryaan smiled a little and both entered inside the building, wearing fresh-composed smiles on their faces where Aryaan stopped to meet the staff there where Daya moved ahead with Paul towards his cabin…
Soon Aryaan reached at the door step of his father's cabin to find Paul leaving and exchanging a small smile, as had already met him, he entered inside while Paul left, when seeing him coming inside…
Daya, who was standing now, told him as: Baitu, mairi meeting hai thori daer mein tou aap rest room mein chaly jao, change bhi ker lo, main bs meeting attend ker k aata hoon…
Aryaan stepped ahead towards his father with: Dad, please just take your time… (Winked him sweetly as…) Main aur maira Xbox bilkul khush rahien gy…
Daya smiled sweetly and giving a light pat on his cheek, nodded him, who left towards the attached rest room in same smile where soon Daya left towards the meeting room…
Rest Room…
Entering inside the rest room, Aryaan first went to change his outfits and then coming out from the bathroom, moved back in the room and got seated on the bed, in half lying posture, grabbing a cube from the nearby bed-side-table's drawer… He was absent-mindedly busy in solving that cube while thinking about the thing, his father asked him in the graveyard related to Dr. Salunkhy and that took him at some other place where…
Daya's Home…
Today Aryaan had turned eight years old but not knowing the exact reason of finding his son a little off beat, Daya had invited only few very close neighbouring friends in his birthday celebration, when after cake cutting ceremony, they were sitting having light snacks and casual talks… Aryaan, who was busy in playing with two really close friends of him, Yash and Joy, turned his gaze towards the entrance of the home to find the lady coming inside the lounge in black moonlight's full length dress and his gaze instantly got shifted towards his father to find him, looking at her with fixed gaze, suddenly seeming cut off from his surroundings…
There appeared a lot of hurt and restlessness in the kid's eyes, which soon turned into big shock seeing him standing and moving towards the lady with slow steps, looking like he was in some dream… Now, all attentions were turned towards Daya, who was moving ahead in slow steps when reaching near the lady, he gave her a beautiful smile and moving ahead, smoothly grabbed her hand when seeing him bowing down…
Aryaan called out loudly from behind in real shocked tone as: DAD…!
Breaking Daya's trance, who was going to kiss on the hand of the lady and he turned towards the voice to find his extremely hurt kid standing there, looking at him in extreme shock where Daya looked around to realize what's happening, when felt something in his hand so he turned his gaze towards his hand to find himself, grabbing someone's hand, and getting stunned on himself, he looked up towards the face of the person, getting hugely stunned and leaving the hand the same instant with a great jerk and wide opened eyes, he took a back step and again looked at the dress and then at her and…
Daya still looking in extreme shock, hardly asked in broken words as: Yeh dress… Aap… Shivani… Ks ny dia…?
Shivani replied in calm tone as: Aryaan ny…
Daya's eyes turned wide opened in shock and he turned towards his son and…
Daya asked him as: Is it true…?
Aryaan nodded in composed way with: She said, you have permitted her…
And he turned his face away, looking deeply hurt where Daya had got all till then, so turned back towards her and…
Daya, who was composed now, asked her as: Main ny kb permission di aap ko iss dress ko hath lggany ki bhi…?
Shivani shrugged in a relaxed way with: Aryaan, bachcha hai, drr gaya hai shaid aap sy, tabhi jhoot…
And Daya's roar cut her right there with: Khabardar Ms. Shivani, mairy bachchy py ongli uthai tou mujh sy bura koe nahin ho ga… Aryaan sirf maira baita nahin hai, woh maira gharor hai, aur maira bachcha jhoot nahin bolta, samjhien aap…?
Shivani replied in composed tone as: Daikhiye Daya jee, hr maa-baap ko easa hi lgta hai apny bachchon ko ly k, you are not alone and I can understand this thing…
Daya told her in extreme angry-though-composed tone as: Out, just leave right now, get out…
Shivani getting angry now, replied as: Bs bohut ho gaya, pehly khud bulaya mujhy aur…
Daya cut her rashly as: Jhoot mtt boliye aap, main ny aap ko nahin bulaya…
Shivani told him in tease smile as: Aap ny nahin, aap k baity ny bulaya hai aur sath mein yeh dress bhi dia, ussi ny…
Daya just inhaled a deep breath and then asked in chewing tone as: Ussy koun si kahani sunae aap ny…?
Shivani getting shocked, asked in anger as: Matlab kya hai aap ka iss…
Daya cut her in extreme anger with: Matlab wohi hai maira jo aap ko samjh aa raha hai… (Added in anger-filled eyes with…) Kya samjhi thien aap uss rooz k main ny Aryaan ko uss k room mein jany ka iss liye kaha k mujhy aap ki kahani py vishvas ho gaya tha…? (Told her in hard tone as…) Janta tha main achhy sy k aap kahani bnna rahi hain jhooti… Bahir barish ho rahi thi aur Aryaan barish mein khail k wapis aa raha tha, uss ki cycle, jooty, football, sb py kicher lgga hua tha lekin phir bhi, according to your story… (Added sarcastically as…) Jb uss ny apni ussi muddy football sy aap ko hit kia tou chamatkari toor py aap k kppron py kicher ka aik chhinta tk nahin tha… (Asked angrily as…) Aap ko kya main pagal ya andha dikhta hoon jo mujhy samjh nahin hai k asal mein ho kya raha hai…? (Told her in firm tone as…) Samjh gaya tha main ussi samey k aap mujhy aata daikh k, girrny ka natak ker rahi hain, aur Aryaan ko bhaija tha wahan sy tou sirf iss liye k main uss k dimagh mein aurat ki jo chhavi bithana chah raha hoon, uss ka aap ki surat mein mojoud itna girra hua roop nahin dikhana chahta tha main ussy, samjhien aap…? (Shivani looking at him in real anger, just turned to leave when Daya told her in stiff tone as…) Mairi patni ka dress mujhy wapis mil jana chahiye, aaj hi…
Shivani just left from there, banging the main door, where Daya grabbing the nearby table, took few deep breaths to lower down his anger bar and then taking out his medicines' bottle, took out two pills from it and gulped them down with a glass of water…
After few minutes of complete silence in the room…
Daya, who was sitting on the nearby couch now, asked in composed tone as: Neha, baita please aap ja k dress ly aao gi…?
Neha nodded while standing with: Jee, bhaiya…
And she left from there, followed by other guests too, leaving the two alone in the home where Daya was sitting there throwing his head on the headrest while silently massaging his forehead with his fingertips when…
Aryaan's hesitated voice rose as: Dad…
Daya cut him right there with: Aryaan, stop please, go to your room son, please… (Aryaan, giving him a silent glance, moved his head down while moving towards his room when breathing deeply, Daya stopped him with…) Rukko… (Aryaan got stopped, still not looking at him where Daya too was sitting in the same posture, looking at the ceiling and asked him quietly as…) Yahan baitho mairy paas aap, please… (Aryaan giving him a silent glance, moved ahead and got seated beside him when Daya asked him in quiet tone as…) Kyun dia aap ki Mamma ka dress unhien…?
Aryaan replied in silent tone as: Unhon ny kaha, aap ny kaha hai…
Daya inhaling deeply, looked at him with: And you believed it…? (Aryaan kept looking down where Daya added as…) Js dress ko unpack kerny ki permission main ny kabhi aap ko nahin di, woh main kisi aur ko pehn'nny k liye kaisy dy sakta hoon yar, haan…?
Aryaan replied in hurt-filled tone as: Aap ny unn k jhoot bolny py bhi mujhy room mein bhaij dia, jb aap unhien khara hony mein help ker rahy thy, she gave me that tease smile… Unhon ny kaha, I am binding you from moving on from my mother… She said you wanted her to wear that dress but only because of me, you are killing yours this wish… (Added in moist-angry tone as…) And I believed her, yes, because you were behaving, not good, you snubbed me in front of her when I tried to explain that I didn't hit her, she was lying… You went with her in that coffee café, she came with you to bring me from school, and today you grabbed her hand and if I hadn't stopped you then you…
And he just stopped while moving his head away, wiping off the tears that slipped down on his cheeks where Daya was listening him calmly, because of wanting to know, what had actually hurt him that he didn't once want to confirm her statement from him and once his kid stopped…
Daya inhaled a deep breath while explaining himself to his kid as: I sent you in your room because I trusted you and I didn't want you to explain yourself in front of someone, not worthy of your explanation, but I didn't snub you, I…
Aryaan cut him angrily while looking at him and standing on his point as: You did… You said, "Aryaan, go to your room", if you would have said, "Aryaan, son, go to your room", then it's not a snubbing but earlier one is snubbing and you did snub me in front of her…
And he turned his face away again, leaving his now smiling father there, who though managed to hid his smile well from his kid, because of not being willing to increase his anger and hurt, getting well that his son was being extra sensitive after getting denial, in his thoughts of course, from his father's side to trust on his kid over some stranger, and that act of him got highly disliked by Aryaan so…
Daya replied in calm tone as: Okay, seems like I did snub my son, so I am sorry for doing that, I'll take care from now on of this thing… (Aryaan's stiff facial expressions got relaxed after getting that assurance where Daya continued as…) I sent you from there because I didn't want my innocent kid to get mature, before age, but it absolutely didn't mean that I didn't trust you… I am always a proud father, only because of my son… (A beautiful smile crept on his kid's face and he looked up at his father for assurance who nodded him in light smile and placing hand on his head, placed a soft kiss on his forehead and asked in polite tone as…) Can, I please take my son, in my lap now…? (Aryaan giving him a sweet smile, nodded and Daya smoothly pulled his son in his lap while wrapping his arms around his kid and continued his explanation to pluck off every last strain of doubt or hurt from his kid's delicate thoughts and pure heart with…) That café whose picture you must have seen in her mobile, there I was sitting, waiting for yours Sarah auntie but out of nowhere, she came there, and I had no idea that she had clicked some picture too, but she remained there only for around two minutes and then left after Sarah came… (Taking a pause, continued as…) In your school, I came there to pick you up, suddenly she showed up there which I now am getting that wasn't that coincidental as she was claiming it but because we live in the same society, out of courtesy I offered her the ride as she claimed someone had snatched her purse when she came there looking for some job, we didn't come there together… (And then inhaling a deep breath, smoothly grabbed his kid's hand in his own while telling him as…) The day your Mamma became an angel, on the previous day I got a big contract so when was going back to the office, found a storeroom and went inside to buy some dress for your mother because of planning to take my family out on dinner and celebrate that success but because of the workload came with that success, couldn't go home that night and next day… (And getting stopped there, he softly kissed his son's hand and added as…) The only woman I've ever imagined in that dress is your mother so when saw that dress in front of me after so long, your mother also came in front of me wearing that dress and that resulted that happening but thanks to my son, for stopping me at the right moment otherwise…
And he just stopped while moving his gaze away when Aryaan, who was feeling guilty now, smoothly placed his hand on his father's cheek while turning his face towards himself and looking deep in his eyes, said innocently as: I am sorry, Dad, sachchi… (Daya gave him an assuring smile while stamping a soft kiss on his forehead where he added silently while looking down as…) I thought you want to make her my new Mamma that's why she asked me for Mamma's dress and so, I gave it to her…
Daya, who was sitting there looking really quiet listening that, smoothly grabbed his son's face in one hand and lifting his face up, looked in his eyes in extreme seriousness with: You are having only one mother in your life Aryaan, and she is your own mother… (Added in bit strict tone as…) Today I've heard that new Mamma from you, I would never like to listen that thing again from you, ever… (Told him in firm tone as…) Your Mamma is yours own Mamma only, there is no bari-maa, chhoti-maa, naye-maa, purani-maa, and most importantly, step-maa, kind of relations in your life, all others are aunties, Didi-s, or younger sisters, understand…?
Aryaan nodded in assurance with: Yeah…
Daya giving him a slight node, smoothly freed his face and then hid him in his arms, getting well that his tone was a little extra-serious for his soul but he really wanted to clear that point on him, once and for all…
Daya inhaling deeply, told him politely as: And son, next time if you ever get hurt by my any act, do come to me please and question the act, never keep things in your heart, little bud, it will create distance between us, which I never want… (Moving him back, looked in his eyes softly with…) You can ask me anything my young lad, I will answer you with pleasures because if I am having right to question any act of yours that hurt me, then you are having the same right too, Okay…? (Aryaan nodded in small assuring smile so Daya smoothly forwarded his hand towards him with…) Promise…
Aryaan smiled sweetly while grabbing his hand with: Promise…
Daya smiled tenderly and placing a soft kiss on his son's cheek, asked him in fresh tone as: So now how about going to some fun-land and have some fun, just me and my soul, hmm…?
Aryaan nodded in broad smile with: Outside dinner too…?
Daya ruffled his hair lovingly with: Done…
And he stood up, having his son's hand in his own and left towards the home's main door because it was still his birthday, and the clock was ticking… ;)
Aryaan was having a beautiful-sweet smile on his face when the ruffle in his hair, brought him back and he looked in the direction to find his father standing there, deepening his smile…
