Smita enters in the Dev 's room where Dev is sitting on the floor while his head is resting in Mahesh' lap who is sitting on the chair.
"Maa ,Ananya thik hai na" said Dev as he looks at his mother and sits up straight.
"Bilkul thik hai " said Smita sitting on the floor near Dev. She caresses her Son's hair while looking at his pale face and red eyes."Per shayad ab wo iss ghar me nhi..." She can't complete her sentence feeling knot in her throat.Dev looks at the ground .
"Maa" Said Dev slowly" Ana ke jane ke baad kya mujhe phir se Papa ka purana wardrobe use karna padega " He looks up at his mother making innocent face and his mother chuckles.
"Nhi " said Smita with slight smile " Per Ananya ke side me tujhe Ghar ke blankets rakhne honge ."
"Nhi ,Papa mai apne room me blanket nhi rakhne wala" said Dev looking at his father.
"Teri Maa ke age mai kya hi bolu" said Mahesh .
"Kya Papa aap bete ke liye..." Dev doesn't complete his sentence .He turns backward and stands up while looking at the door.
"Kya hua Ballu tu...". Mahesh can't complete his sentence as his eyes fall on Ananya .She is standing near the door with the support of its edge. She is looking very fragile and weak.She looks at the face of Mahesh and Smita but doesn't look at the face of Dev.She looks at the ground awkwardly.
" Maine ab tak office ki dress bhi change nhi ki hai" said Mahesh breaking the ice. "Mai fresh hota hu." Saying this Mahesh leaves from there.
"Mai bhi tumhare Papa ko khana de kar aati hu" Smita too left from there leaving only Dev and Ananya alone in the room.
There is silence in the room.Ananya is looking at the floor while Dev is looking at Ananya. This would be last time when he is admiring her openly with full right.
"Tum.... packing kar lo" Said Dev with heavy heart." Don't worry Iss baar mai help nhi karunga" He chuckles slightly while trying hard to hold his tears.How will he able to live in this room after her departure.Its every corner has her fragrance.
He starts walking towards the door .As he passes her ,tear rolls down on her eyes.He take a step forward toward door but stops as he feels grip of her soft hand around his wrist.
"Mujhe kahi nhi jana" She speaks in low and quivery voice .
Moon is shining in the sky and gentle breeze is blowing outside .They are standing at the centre of the room.Their backs are facing each other and she is holding her hand.
He looks back .At the same time she too looks back in his eyes.
"Mujhe kahi nhi jana ." Tear rolls down from her as well as his eyes as she speaks . He is looking at him unbelievably" Mujhe nhi jana.." She walks toward him but he takes two steps behind.
"Chali Jao Ana " He speaks slowly .Gentle breeze is striking their face and is caressing their hair. ," Chali jao." He turns back .Heaviness of his heart is increasing.
"Nhi..."She said determined while tears rolls down on her cheeks."Mai ....nhi jaaungi..." She wraps her around around his shoulders and keeps her head on his back to feel his presence ,to feel the solace which had been missing from her life since a long time.
"Nhi reh paogi mere saath Ana" He speaks slowly.
"I am sorry Dabbu" She said breaking the hug and make him to look at herself."I am sorry.Mai janti hu maine jaise react kiya wo... tumhare liye bahut painful tha.... but... but......maine tumhe bahut hurt Kiya hai ..bahut jyada .Tumhe murderer samjha ... tumhe ....pta nhi kya ...kya...."
"Tumhari galti nhi thi .Tumhare jagah koi aur hota to... " Said Dev but Ananya put her finger on his lips.
"I know tum hurt ho.I know tumhe shikayat hai." speaks Ananya putting her hand on his cheeks." Aur tumhe shikayat karne ka haq hai Dabbu." She speaks looking in her eyes.
"Tumhe lga ki mai tumhe hurt karunga " He complains while tears rolled down from his eyes ."Tumhe mere zameer per bharosa nhi tha . Samjh me aata hai.Kya tumhe mere pyar per bhi yakin nhi tha ?.Itna gir gya mai tumhari nazar me."
Ananya looks down at his complaint.
"I am sorry " She speaks looking in his eyes "Police wali hu na .Isliye ....." She looks away.". I know Mera sorry enough nhi hai.Per please mujhe khud se alag hone ki saja nhi do. "
"Aaj tum Maa ki emotional baate sun kar tumhe mujh per daya aa gyi hai.Per tumne to mere uss duniya ko nhi dekha hai" said Dev holding her hand and removing her hand from his cheeks." Uss duniya me Mai aaisa Dev nhi hu. Uss Duniya me mai Kuch aur hu. Jab tum meri duniya ko samjhogi,uss duniya me mujhe samjhogi to tumhara dar tumhari daya per bhari parega." He said turning back."In fact uss Duniya me mai Dev hu hi nhi.Uss Duniya me MAI BAALVEER HU.
