"Nayi umeed aur Naya saaz hain, hone ko ek naya aagaz hain. Nayi tarang yeh Naya raag hain , badla badla sa har kisi ka andaaz hain."

A New day always comes with new wishes. As bright the sun shines, lives get filled with similar positivity. We hunt, we strive, we fail and again with a new day, we start a new exploration with a thought to get succeeded this time.

Something similar to this is happening with the people staying in SEKHAWAT MANSION, Nainital. When the ray peeped into their rooms, like birds they readied themselves to unveil something new which is still hidden from them.

The secrets of their past life were sufficient to snatch their peace. They all were thinking that nothing more can be stored for them but when destiny starts its gambling, we humans become puppets of their hand. We just can sit and watch them play because few have the guts to fight for it and change it.

And their secrets say they all belonged to the former. Eager to know the details and eager to change the sins they commited, everyone got ready for the day and moved towards the dining when Neeksha hold Naina's hand and said

"Kal raat bahar khade hoke sab kyun sunn rahi thi Nainu? Andar aake baith jati na hum sabke saath. Sach jaan ne ka haq tujhe bhi hain."

She gave a small smile to her when Samarth looked towards Meher who was having her breakfast and said to Yug

"I think hume baat shuru kar deni chahiye, already bahut der kar chuke hain ab aur der nahi kar sakte. Is kahani ko aage badhate hain."

Yug nodded his head and gestured to Neeksha to start this time. She nodded her head and took a long breathe so that she can continue with their painful history while others took their seats to listen the most appalling journey of their lives.

After 3 years

Ghani kali raat me anginat sitaro ke beech me Chamakate huye chand ki chandani, safed lehrate huye Pardo (curtains) ko cheerte huye jaise dabe pairo se shree ke kamre me taka jhaki (hide and seek) kar rahi thi.

Bistar ke sirhane ( head of the bed ) lage ek mez (bed side table) par rakhe huye radio me kuch hasin se lamhe khud me samete huye kano me ghulte huye seedhe ruh tak utar jaane wali madhur awaz me gaane(songs) baj rahe the.

Aur un gaano ki dhun me khoyi hui khule balon me chehre pe halki si muskaan liye huye safed salwar suit me Shree apni study table pe jo ki khidaki ke bilkul saamne lagi thi baith kar ek khat likhne ki koshish kar rahi thi. Aur radio me badlte huye gaano ke saath saath shree ke chehre ke bhav (emotions) bhi badal rahe the . Tabhi ek gaana Baj utha jo shree ki chehre ki muskurahat me chaar Chand laga gaya tha.

तेरे बिना ज़िन्दगी से
कोई शिकवा तो नहीं
शिकवा नहीं शिकवा
नहीं शिकवा नहीं
तेरे बिना ज़िन्दगी भी
लेकिन ज़िन्दगी तो नहीं
ज़िन्दगी नहीं ज़िन्दगी
नहीं ज़िन्दगी नहीं
तेरे बिना ज़िन्दगी से
शिकवा तो नहीं........

Abhay,

Waqt bhi kitna ajeeb hain naa kab palchin ki taraf pankh laga ke ud jata hain pata hi nahi chalta hain , nahi? Aisa lagta hain jaise kal hi ki baat thi jab humari jindagi ne ek ajib hi mod le liya tha. Pehle aap humse dur huye phir jab hum dheere dheere khud ko sambhal kar apka intezaar karte huye aage badhne ki koshish karne lage toh maa saa hume chod gayi.
