Abhishek wiped his tears and Vaishnavi too did the same.
Vaishnavi: Since the start, they don't want a daughter.
Abhishek: Yeah! Pata hain kabhi kabhi Sid and mere mind me question aata hain. What if meri ya Sid ki koi behan jo humse pehle born hui ho ya jo uss time born hui jab hum samajh nahin sakte the. Parents ne unko probably maar diya hoga ya orphanage me chor aaye hoge.
Vaishnavi's heart skipped a beat listening orphanage.
Vaishnavi: Leave all this. Reem ke bhai kab aayege phir?
Abhishek: Sid aa jayega 2-3 weeks me.
Vaishnavi nodded.
Abhishek: By the way kal tumhara fast hain.
Vaishnavi: Hmm...
Abhishek: You can skip it. I mean see mom yaha hain nahin. Tum normal breakfast and lunch kar lena. Mom ko vaise bhi pata nahin chalega.
Vaishnavi: Arey! Nahin nahin... I will keep fast.
Abhishek: Alright but there is no pressure. Mind change ho to skip it.
Vaishnavi nodded.
Abhishek: Hume so jana chaye. Good night.
Vaishnavi: Night...
Both went to their rooms. Abhishek made Reem sleep and lay beside her. He was caressing her hair, looking at her face.
Abhishek: Tumhe pata hain. Ye fast na tumhari mumma ka favourite tha. College me the jab hum. After the proposal chup kar usne fast rakha tha. Kisi ko pata hi nahin chalne diya pure din me. Vo to raat ko I saw her on the terrace alone. She was following rituals to complete the fast. That time I got to know. Phir mere ghar ki terrace se tumhare mumma ke ghar ki terrace par jump kiya tha. Distance bilkul nahin hain. Floor pura sath me hi hain. Bas middle ek wall hain for partition. Vaha tab aapke mamu ne pakd liya tha home. Bahut gussa bhi hua tha but phir maan gaya and support bhi ki. Jab Reemi apne mumma ke tummy me thi. Tab bhi aapke mumma ko fast rakhna tha. Pura din uske piche piche ghuma tha fruits leke.
He completed as a smile took birth on his lips and tears in his eyes.
After sometime. He fell into a deep slumber of sleep.
With Vaishnavi.
She went into the room and sat on the floor. She glanced at the henna in her hands and smiled.
Vaishnavi: Haan I know I can skip this fast but ye fast rakhne se if you will get prosperity and health. Then I want to keep this fast. She lay on the floor with a smile. Soon she too fell asleep.
Next morning. At 4 in the morning. Abhishek knocked on the door of Vaishnavi's room. Vaishnavi opened the door and saw him. She smiled.
Abhishek: Good morning.
He said in a deep husky voice. Vaishnavi's heartbeat quickened.
Vaishnavi: Mo... morning.
Abhishek: Fast rakhna hain?
Vaishnavi nodded.
Abhishek: Okay... Come. I mean sargi kha lo then kuch nahin kha sakogi full day.
Vaishnavi: Main aayi face wash karke.
Abhishek (nodded): Okay! I am waiting.
Vaishnavi quickly got fresh then went to dining to see Abhishek waiting for her. His eyes seem sleepy. His messy hair.
Abhishek: Come.
Vaishnavi nodded and sat beside him. He served her.
Vaishnavi: Ye sab?
Abhishek: You don't know about rituals?
Vaishnavi's face fell.
Vaishnavi: Umm... no. No one was there to teach me.
Abhishek: No problem. This is sargi. It is a ritual to have something like fruit, food or anything early morning. Before sunrise. After sunrise, you can't even drink water. That's why I am asking you to skip it.
Vaishnavi: No! it's okay. Thanks for this.
She said pointing at the food which he made for her of course. Vaishnavi had it. He made sure to make her complete everything then both went to their rooms and slept again.
