Aarav was sitting comfortably with his wife, Anusuya, in their cozy living room. The warmth of the evening sun bathed the room in a golden hue, and Anusuya, gently cradling her baby bump, looked at Aarav with a soft smile on her face.
"Tumne kabhi socha hai... hamare bachche ke liye kuch likho? Shayad ek kitaab jo woh bade hoke padhe?" Anusuya asked, her voice filled with excitement and affection.
Aarav paused for a moment, leaning back in his chair, lost in thought. "Yeh toh ek bohot accha idea hai. Main zindagi, parivaar ke baare mein likh sakta hoon. Lekin... main apne pita ke baare mein zyada kuch jaanta hi nahi. Main apne parivaar ke baare mein kya likhoon jab mujhe apne hi pita ki kahaani nahi pata?" Aarav's voice trailed off, his eyes reflecting the weight of the thoughts running through his mind.
Anusuya gently placed her hand on his, her touch comforting. "Shaayad yeh sahi waqt hai unke baare mein jaanne ka, Aarav. Yeh hamare bachche ke liye bhi khaas hoga, aur tumhare liye bhi. Tumhe apni jadd pehchaan samajh aayegi," she said, her voice full of encouragement and warmth.
The next day, Aarav decided to visit his grandmother, hoping she could tell him more about his father. As they sat together in the dimly lit room, Aarav hesitated before finally asking, "Nani, mujhe mere pita ke baare mein kuch bata sakti ho? Main unke baare mein kuch bhi nahi jaanta, aur ab yeh baat mujhe bohot zyada khali karti hai."
His grandmother looked at him with soft eyes and sighed deeply. The memories seemed to weigh heavy on her heart as she began to speak. "Tumhare pita, Arjun, ek bohot nek insaan the, lekin zindagi ne unka imtihaan bohot liya. Unki sauteli maa unke saath bohot bura bartav karti thi, jiski wajah se unhone apne aap ko duniya se alag kar liya. Lekin ek insaan tha jisne unko hamesha khush rakha-tumhare mama, Vikram. Woh dono bhaiyon se badhkar the."
Aarav leaned forward, hanging onto every word. He had heard about Vikram but never realized the depth of his bond with his father.
"Nani, kya Vikram mama ne hamesha pita ka saath diya?" Aarav asked, his curiosity growing with every word.
"Vikram ne kabhi tumhare pita ka haath nahi chhoda. Chahe jo bhi ho, Vikram kabhi peeche nahi hatega. Un dono ka rishta khoon se bhi gehra tha," his grandmother said, her voice steady but filled with emotion. "Tumhare pita ne zindagi mein jo bhi saha, Vikram uske saath hamesha tha. Woh dono ek doosre ke bina adhoore the."
Aarav felt a deep sense of connection as he learned more about his father. This was just the beginning of his journey to uncover his father's past, and he knew the truth he was about to discover would change everything.
Aarav sat in silence for a moment, absorbing everything his grandmother had told him. But one thing still puzzled him. "Nani, tumhara mere pita se kya rishta tha? Main kabhi samajh nahi paaya."
His grandmother smiled softly, her eyes twinkling with affection. "Main tumhare pita ki mausi hoon, beta. Lekin Arjun ke liye, main maa ki tarah thi. Unhone kabhi mujhe alag nahi samjha."
Aarav was taken aback by this revelation. "Yeh pehli baar hai jab main sun raha hoon ki Vikram Rathore mera mama hai. Lekin yeh dosti shuru kaise hui? Pita aur mama itne kareeb kaise aaye?"
His grandmother shook her head slowly, a small smile playing on her lips. "Yeh kahaani toh Janaki hi bata sakti hai," she said, her tone mysterious.
"Janaki kaun hai, Nani?" Aarav asked, confused.
"Janaki tumhari chachi hai, beta. Maine suna tha ki woh tumhare pita, Arjun, se sagai kar chuki thi. Lekin kuch aisa hua ki unhone sagai todh di aur Athreya se shaadi kar li," she explained, her voice heavy with unsaid words.
Aarav's curiosity deepened. The more he uncovered, the more questions arose. Who was Janaki? Why had she left his father for Athreya? Aarav realized that if he wanted to understand the full story of his father's life, Janaki was the next person he needed to talk to.
Determined to find out more, he made up his mind. **Janaki** would be his next destination on this journey to uncover his father's past.
