Shreya looked at his face, still hugging him. Their faces were so close that they could feel each other's warm breath. After a few seconds, she looked into his eyes and then pulled back, sitting properly in her seat.
Daya's arms lingered, cradling the empty space where Shreya had been, before he too sat back, buckling his seatbelt.

The car fell silent, except for the soft hum of the engine. Daya glanced at Shreya, lost in thought, then peered out the window, searching for Meera, but she was nowhere to be seen. A melancholic tune escaped his lips as he began driving, while Shreya's mind drifted away, consumed by her own reflections.

Daya's eyes, filled with hurt and sadness, remained fixed on the road ahead. He glanced at Shreya, who was lost in thought, her ice cream untouched.

"Kya hua, ab nahi khani tumhe ice cream?" he asked, his voice laced with concern.

Shreya snapped out of her trance, looking up at him, but Daya's gaze had already returned to the road. She bit her lip nervously, wanting to say something but unsure how.

Daya continued driving, his voice filled with emotion as he speak- Acha, ab jyada mat socho. Main samajh sakta hu.... ye sab itna aasan nahi... lekin  Main bas itna chahta hu ki tum little one se judi har ek baat mujhe batao, tumhari cravings, mood swings, sab kuch jo bhi bachche se juda hai.

(He paused for a moment, and Shreya glanced up at him. )"Main ye nahi kehta ki tum apni personal things bhi mujhse share karo, but at least bachche se judi har baat to tum mujhe bata to mujhe jaanne ka hakk h. I want to be a good fater jo aapne bache ki har ak wish puri kar sake, or iske liye mujhe little one se judi har ak baat pata honi jaruri h , tabhi to M uski wish puri kar paaunga, Or tabhi main tumhara aur little one ka khayal bhi rakh paunga..."

Shreya's gaze remained fixed on Daya as he drove and spoke, his voice laced with pain, hurt, and sadness. She lowered her eyes, realizing her mistake and feeling terrible about her actions. She looked up again as she heard his voice.

"Or vaise bhi, hamari shadi isliye to karvayi gyi thi na ki M tumhara aur bacche ka khayal rakh sakun. Lekin jab tak tum mujhse sab share nahi karti, main apni zimmedari kaise nibhaunga? Aur agar main apni zimmedari nahi nibha sakta, tumhara khayal hi nahi rakh paya , toh kya fayda hua is shadi ka? Ishliye main fir ak baar tumhe sab keh raha hoon, plz iske baad tum mujhse kuch bhi nahi chupana, okay?"

As their eyes met, Daya saw tears glistening in Shreya's eyes, but his own eyes remained empty, devoid of emotion. Shreya nodded slowly.

SHE SPOKE ,Her voice barely above a whisper - I swear,ab se M kuch bhi nhi chupaugi aapse, promise.

Daya's expression remained neutral -  I hope tum isbar aapna promise yaad rakho,na ki pichli baar ki trh bhul jaao...

Shreya shook her head, a small smile playing on her lips - Nhi.... isbar paka promise(she thought)  nhi pinky promise...

She extended her little finger, her eyes sparkling with tears.

Daya's confusion was evident - pinky promise, ye kya Hota h...

Shreya's smile grew, her voice filled with conviction.

Shreya - It's a promise that can't be broken. A promise from the heart.

Daya's gaze lingered on her finger, then met her eyes, his expression softening ever so slightly.Daya's eyes softened, and As Daya drove with one hand, he reached out with the other, his little finger extending towards Shreya's. She smiled, her eyes shining with tears, and wrapped her little finger around his.
