"Aunty..Aunty"called Mahi nudging Rita ji..who was sitting leaning on a sit in front of operation theatre..
Rita ji came out of her thoughts and said in daze....."Ha..ha..bacche kya hua?"
Mahi sat beside her.. hugging her from shoulder..she said.."Aunty..Sid strong hai...thik hojayega..aap chinta mat kijiye.."
Kushal and Jay too joined her and said controlling their tears...."Woh thik ho jaye..toh hum use khub daatenge..aap use do chaar chanta laga dena..dekhna woh sudhar jayega.."
"5 saal ka tha mera Sid..jab uske Papa ne suicide attempt kiya tha buisness mein nukshaan hone ke kaaran...tab se akele ..sab se dur jakar...use maine bara kiya..company ko sambhala...is honshle ke saath ki mera beta hai na..padh likhkar..apne papa ke company ko uchayiyon Tak ke jayega...sab thik hoga...

"Aunty..hum sab keh rahe hai na..sab thik hoga..toh sab thik hoga...mujhe bharosa hai..ki uparwala..mere bhai ko nahi chinega.."saying so he hugged her with tears in his eyes..while Rita ji too cried.. hugging him expressing her extreme pain..and emotions...
Till then.. doctor came out of operation theatre..Rita ji stood up with the help of Kushal and Mahi..and hurriedly goes towards the doctor.. asking.."Doctor mera beta kaisa hai?thik toh hai na? Boliye na?...thik toh hai na mera baccha?"
The doctor looked down with morshed expressions and said .."I am sorry.."
Listening these words Rita ji stumbled back...while a lone and painful tears escaped of her eyes..
On the other side...
After her discharge.. the girl was brought to her home....
"Bacche yeh dekh..Tera kamra..yaha tu rehti hai.."said Gita ji.. caressing her cheeks lovingly...
The girl looked all around the room confusingly..and then asked.."Par mujhe kuch yaad kyun nahi aaraha?Aaplog toh mere maa baba ho na?aur..aur toh yeh kamra bhi mera hai ..phir bhi mujhe kuch yaad kyun nahi aaraha?"
Gita ji looked at Ramesh ji ...who nodded his head...then she caresss her head lovingly.. saying.."Beta tu... abhi bimar hai...Teri yaadash chali gayi hai na.. isliye tujhe kuch yaad nahi hai..dheere dheere sab yaad hojayega..par abhi tu kapre badal le..phir main khana khilaungi tujhe apne haathon se ...."
That girl nodded her head with a small smile..and then left for changing her clothes...
Gita ji then goes to Ramesh ji..who was sitting with seriousness on his face..
"Kya hua ji aapko..?Aap itne chinta mein kyun hai?"asked Gita ji keeping her hand on his...
"Bas soch raha hoon ki yeh bacchi kis Ghar ki Beti hogi?Woh bhi toh dhund rahe honge na use..kya is bacchi ko apne ghar mein apni beti ke tarah rakh kar..uske asli parivaar ko toh dukh nahi de rahe na?"said Ramesh ji....
Gita ji smiled with tears in her eyes and said ...."Nahi ji..koi galti nahi ki humne..bacchi agar thik hoti toh woh khud ba khud apne parivaar ke baare mein bata sakti thi..par woh thik nahi hai..aur abhi uske liye maanshik tanaav bhi thik nahi..usse uske dimaag par bahut hi bura asar parega... isliye jab tak uski yaadash nahi aati ..tab tak woh humari beti ke tarah rahegi...jo maangegi hum wahi denge..use har ek cheez denge..jis se woh humesha Khushi se rehe sake..par ek kaam kar sakte hai..hum bacchi ki tasveer..police station mein jana karwa sakte hai..shayad ..uske parivaar ko bhi pata chal jaaye...aap kal subha hi police station jaana..par jab tak bacchi ki asli parivaar nahi mil jaati..woh humari zimmedari hai..humari bacchi hai..."
Ramesh ji smiled listening her words..and nodded his head agreeing to what she said...
Next day Ramesh ji goes and submit all the informations regarding that girl..while the police assured them to find out her family soon.....
Like this 7 years passed by...and many things changed.. within the span of time..
In Delhi...
In a dark room..a man was sitting leaning to the bed stand... holding a picture close to himself..while an old women came and huffed with pain.. looking at the man...
She goes towards him..and sat down beside him.. caressing his head lovingly..she said.."7 saal beet gaye hai beta use jaate huye..kab tak itne andhere kamre mein rahega beta?2 saal pehle tu coma se baahar aaya hai..tab se apni zindagi ko ek robot ki zindagi ke tarah bana liya hai..office jata hai..khata hai ..aur aise hi band kamre mein akele para rehta hai...beta..tujhe aise dekhkar ..mere dil ko thesh pahunchti hai...tujhe tere gham se bahar nikalne ke liye..hum Delhi mein shift hogaye..par toh waisa ka waisa hi rehe Gaya..jaise tha..aur jab tak yeh maa..apne bete ka intezar karte rahe...apni phool jaisi bacchi..apni Ghar ki Lakshmi ko toh kho diya..rape case ke liye lade toh kuch saboot na mila...aur case band bhi hogaya...meri ek aash chali gayi ...main apni dusri aash ko nahi khona chati beta..laut aa apne maa ke pass..laut aa..." saying so she cried leaning her head on his shoulder...
While looked at his mother with teary eyes and said ....."Maa main thik hoon.ujhe kuch nahi hua...main bilkul thik hoon...aapka beta aapke pass hi hai...bas Sana ka Sidhu..7 saal pehle uske saath mat chuka hai...woh Sidharth toh apni Sana ke saath hi chala gaya hai..bas is Sidharth ko aur waqt lagega..apne gham se bahar nikalne ke liye...par pata nahi ..mujhe ab bhi lagta hai ki Sana mere aas pass hai..woh kahi nahi gayi...kyunki meri saansein ab bhi chal rahi hai...woh zaroor hai..kuch toh galti hui hai humshe..jo humein samaj nahi aaraha..."saying so he hold the photo frame close to his chest more...
While Rita ji.. looked upwards with tears in her eyes and thought.."Hey bhagwan..kuch chamatkar karde jisse meri bacchon ki khusiyaan laut aaye...mere khushaal parivaar ko kiski nazac lag gayi?Mujh mein aapse prathna karne ke siwaaye aur kuch nahi bacha..bas yahi kahungi ki kripa kare bhagwan...humare parivaar mein khusiyaan luta dijiye...mere bacchon ko lauta dijiye mere pass...lauta dijiye...aur pariksha mat lijiye mere parivaar ka..6 saal bahut hote hai..kuch toh rehem kar hey uparwale kuch toh rehem kar.."thinking so she caressed his head..while he engulfed in his mother's embrace like a lost child.. trying to find solace in his already messed up life...
