Avu: Mai Fais ka asli naam nahi janti thi, sirf surname janti thi. Maine uska naam Faisal rakha tha, uska asli naam tha Faizeen Shaikh. Aur Jai ka naam maine usse ek baar pucha tha isliye janti thi. Maine dono ko orphanages ke bahar chod diya, unke saath paper bhi rakha tha jisme unkar naam aur age thi. Jai ke liye maine apni age likhi thi pata nahi kya age thi. [I didn't know Faisal's real name, just knew his surname. I kept his name as Faisal, but it was Faizeen Shaikh. And I had once asked Jai his name so knew it. I left them outside different orphanages, with a paper which had their name and age. I wrote Jai's age as my age only as I didn't know it.]
Sid: Woh humari age ka hi hai. [He is of our age.]
Avu: Hmm. Fais toh 4 saal bada hai humse. Toh us wakt unko orphanage mein chodne ke baad mai khudke liye nayi zindagi dhundne lagi, kyunki mai aur Fais Chandigarh se Mumbai laye gaye the, koyi tarika nahi tha mummy papa ke paas jaane ka. Faisal toh kuch hi hafto mein adopt ho gaya tha, Jai 18 ki umar tak orphanage mein tha aur mai uncle aunty ko mili thi kayi mahino baad, tab tak ka wakt nikalna bahut mushkil tha, par kar liya maine. [Hmm. Fais is 4 years elder to us. So at that time after dropping them outside orphanages I started searching for a new life for myself, as I and Fais were brought to Mumbai from Chandigarh, there was no way to go back to my parents. Faisal got adopted within few weeks itself, Jai was in orphanage till age of 18 and I met uncle aunty after many months.]
Sid: Par woh tumhe lekar gaye kyu jab ek kamre mein hi band rakhna tha? [But why did they take you when they had to just keep you locked in a room?]
Avu: Galti se le gaye hume. Jis aurat ne kidnapping karwayi thi, woh apne kisi rivals ke bacho ko pakadna chahti thi. Aur us din tum chillaye the kyunki unhone Jai ke sar ko maara tha use behosh karne ke liye. [They took us by mistake. The lady who got us kidnapped, she wanted to kidnap the children of her rivals. And you shouted the other day as they had hit Jai on head to make him unconscious.]
He looked at her and saw her tears and hugged her, understanding it must be difficult for her. Being such a small child she had suffered a lot, living in the streets not knowing anything, alone. He made her sit on the swing as they were near it while still hugging her. She felt peaceful and safe in his embrace, it was a different feeling she never felt. Even Sid felt a similar feeling. They pulled back after sometime.
Sid: Tu thik hai? [Are you fine?]
Avu: Ha. Ab aage batati hu. Maine school join kiya tha tab kuch seniors ne bully karne ki koshish kari tab Fais ne mujhe bachaya tha unse, aur uska naam sunte hi mujhe laga ki yeh wahi hai. Overtime jaise maine use aur jana maine pata kiya woh kis orphanage mein tha aur confirm ho gaya ki woh wahi hai. Par maine use kabhi kuch nahi bataya. Hum dono ki bahut achi bonding ho gayi overtime, par phir woh achanak gayab ho gaya. Maine aunty se milne ki koshish ki, uski maa, par sirf uska bhai mila mujhe ek baar. Unhe mai apna bada bhai maanti thi, unhone kaha Fais mujhse nahi milna chahta hai kisi wajah se aur ki aunty ghar par nahi hai. Uske baad mai bhaiya se bhi phir kabhi nahi mil paayi. [Yes. Now I will tell further. I had joined school then some seniors tried to bully me then Fais had saved me from them, and on hearing his name I felt its him only. Overtime as I got to know more about him I found out which orphanage he was in and confirmed he was the same. But I never told him about it. We both bonded very well overtime, but then he suddenly disappeared. I tried to meet aunty, his mother, but I only met his brother once. I used to consider him as my elder brother, he said that Fais does not want to meet me because of some reason and that aunty was not at home. After that I could never meet bhaiya again as well.]
Sid: Toh direct college mein mile, jaha woh teacher hai? [Then you both directly met in college, where he is a teacher?]
Avu: Ha. Mai bahut shocked thi, jiski smile kabhi chahre se nahi hat te dekhi thi maine jab tak bahut serious baat na ho, woh jaise smile karna bhool gaya. Jo apne dushman se bhi politely baat kare woh sabse rudely baat karta tha. Aur woh baat aise kar raha tha jaise mujhe pehechana hi nahi. Usne pehle din hi bol diya ki woh sirf mera teacher hai aur mai sirf uski student, hum ek dusre ko nahi jante. Itne din maine usse baat karne ki koshish kari, par usne toh humari saalo ki dosti ko kuch nahi samjha. Phir extra class ke pehle din mujhe pata chala ek saal pehle aunty ki death ho gayi. Mai bahut ghussa huyi, woh janta tha mai aunty ke kitna close thi phir bhi mujhe nahi bataya. [Yes. I was very shocked, whose smile I had never seen disappear from his face before until very serious, its like he forgot to smile itself. He who spoke politely even to his enemy, used to talk with everyone rudely. And he was talking as if he didn't recognize me. He said on the very first day that he is only my teacher and I am only his student, we do not know each other. For so many days I tried to talk to him, but he did not understand years of our friendship also anything. Then on the first day of extra class, I came to know that aunty had died a year ago. I was very angry, he knew how close I was to aunty, yet did not tell me.]
