Part 26

(Hope you all will like this part)

Scene starts in Ayush's room,
Ayush was sitting in his room and writing his daily diary, which was a daily routine of Ayush since 20 years after Shalu left him, when suddenly he heard a knock on the door.

Ayush went and opened the door only to find Sameer standing there.
Ayush: Bol...
Sameer: Dekhiye Mr.Oberoi....mujhe aapse kuch chahiye.
Ayush: Kya chahiye?
Sameer: Aapki maujudgi....
Ayush: Hein? Kya?
Sameer(not making eyecontact): I mean....hum sab truth and dare khel rahe hain upar aur I request your presence there.
Ayush: Main....
Sameer(not looking at Ayush): Dekhiye....apni poori zindagi mein na Kartik aur Maa ke alawa kisi se bhi request nahi ki hain.....aaj pehli baar aapse kar raha hoon kyunki aap mere papa hain.....
Ayush's eyes glistened with tears hearing this.
Sameer looked at Ayush..and his tears were clearly visible.
Sameer: I meant.....aap mere papa jaise hain.....unhi ke umar ke hain toh yeh emotional wagera mat hoya kijiye.
Ayush nodded averting his gaze.
Sameer: Arrey chaliye bhi....
Ayush: Haan....tu chal...main aaya....
Sameer: Yeh rona dhona na baad mein kar lena...raat ko. Kartik ko bhej doonga...poori raat baith kar dono baap bete rona....abhi chaliye.
Ayush didn't said anything but tears flew down his cheeks.
Sameer wiped Ayush's tears and then dragged him to the terrace...holding his hand.

On the terrace,
Ayush sat down beside Kartik and Sameer sat down beside Shaanvi who came just half an hour ago.

Shaanvi: Toh....let's start.....
Shaanvi spinned the bottle and it pointed towards Neelam and Lakshmi.
Shaanvi: So aunty.....truth ya dare?
Lakshmi: Truth....
Neelam: Umm.....tumne kabhi aise kisi insaan se nafrat ki hain jo ki humare saath hamesha se nahi raha hain lekin......abhi haal hi mein tumse.....
Lakshmi: Haan.....kiya hain....(glaring at Kartik).....bohot nafrat karti hoon main usse aur hamesha karti rahungi.
No one understood whom Lakshmi was talking about except for one person.
Rishi(in mind): Lakshmi Kartik se itni nafrat kyun karti hain? Kartik ne kya bigada hain uska? Isse pehle ki Shalu samajah jaaye iss baat ko....baat ko ghumana parega.
Rishi: Shaanvi....ghumao beta....
Shaanvi spinned the bottle and this time it pointed at Priya and Shreya.
Priya: Truth ya dare?
Shreya: Truth....
Priya: Okayy....toh tumhara pehla crush kaun tha? Ek dum first?
Shreya(with a smile): Tha ek school mein....bada hi darpok aur na harr kisi se pit ta rehta tha...sach bolne ke liye. Uski masumiyat, uski vo dosti...uski acchai...unn sab par main fida thi.
Rishi: Fir? Kaha gaya vo?
Shreya: Pata nahi...fir uske parents ka accident ho gaya aur vo Mumbai aa gaya. Uske baad kabhi nahi mili main usse.
Rishi: Milna hain usse?
Sonia: Kya bhai aap bhi? Kaha iski baaton mein aa gaye?
Rishi: Tum batao Shreya...milna hain usse?
Shreya nodded with a wide smile.
Rishi(with a smile): Main milwaunga tumhe usse....I promise.
Shreya(with a wide smile): Sach?
Rishi: Much....cement promise....main zaroor milwaunga tumhe usse.
Shreya hugged Rishi tightly in happiness.
Rishi reciprocated the hug and his eyes brimmed with tears. It was a warm hug....and it felt like.....
Rishi(in mind)(teary eyed): Agar meri Riva hoti....toh vo bhi bilkul Shreya ke jaisi hoti. Par koi baat nahi....Shreya ko gale laga kar bhi aisa hi lag raha hain ki main apni beti ko gale laga raha hoon.
Soon Shreya broke the hug and Rishi wiped his unshed tears with a smile.
Shaanvi again spinned the bottle and this time...it pointed towards Malishka and Sameer.
Shaanvi(in mind): Siyappa!
Malishka: Toh batao Sameer....kya choose karoge.
Sameer: Hoon toh main khatron ka khiladi.....lekin iss baar main truth choose karunga.
Malishka(smirking): Kyun? Darr gaye?
Sameer(smirking): Galat fehmiyon mein mat jiya kijiye itna. Jaldi se poochiye....
Malishka: Tum Shalu aur Ayush ke bete ho ya fir kisi aur ke?
Virendra: Malishka.....yeh kaisa sawaal hain?
Sameer: Kyun mama dadu? Sahi sawaal toh poocha inhone. Iss baat ka doubt harr ek insaan ko hoga ki main aakhri hoon kiska beta aur Kartik aur mera kya connection hain. Toh aaj main bata hi deta hoon. Main...adopted hoon......humare ghar ke bagal mein jo anarth aashram tha na...waha se Maa ne mujhe adopt kiya tha aur Kartik mujhe apna bhai maanta hain. Any more questions?
Sonia(smirking): Matlab tum lawaris ho...right?
Sameer was about to speak but before that....
Kartik(sternly): Sameer lawaris hain ya nahi hain....yeh sawaal uthna hi nahi chahiye ma'am. Sameer mera bhai hain....aur yahi sach hain. Toh I request you ki aap apni yeh soch apne paas hi rakhiye...
Sonia: Meri kaunsi soch? Kya kehna chahta hain tu batameez?
Kartik(sternly): Aapko acche se pata hain ki main kis baare mein baat kar raha hoon. Ab isse zyada mera muh mat khulwaiye plz.
Sameer smirked proudly looking at Malishka.
Harleen: Arrey chand nikal aaya.....aa jaao saare.....
Everyone stood up and Priya went to bring her stuff for breaking the fast of karwachauth meanwhile Rhea stood at a corner....staring at Kartik emotionally. Just then Ram came to Rhea.
Ram: Kya baat hain Rhea?
Rhea: Kuch nahi Golu....vo aankhon mein kuch chala gaya.
Ram: Rhea...mujhe kabhi kabhi aisa kyun lagta hain ki tu humse koi bohot badi waali baat chupa rahi hain?
Rhea: Aisa kuch bhi nahi hain Golu....overthinking mat kiya kar.....aur...tu yaha kya kar raha hain? Bhabi ke paas jaa...dekh...bula rahi hain tujhe....
Ram: Haan jaa raha hoon....
Rhea(pushing Ram)(with a smile): Jaa....
Ram came to Siya.
