Mere Dharma saathi - Season 1

Chapter 12: New Paths,New Hope

Present Scene:**

Anusuya: *worried* "Kya hua, Aarav?"

Aarav's face was pale as he spoke, his voice heavy. "Humare ghar par hamla hua hai."

Janaki and Anusuya both gasped in shock, their hearts sinking at the sudden news.

Janaki: *stunned* "Hamla? Tum thik ho na, Aarav?"

Aarav: "Haan, hum theek hain, lekin ab us letter ko wapas lena mushkil hoga."

Anusuya: *anxiously* "Ab kya kare?"

Janaki thought for a moment, then nodded firmly. "Ek kaam karo, tum dono yahaan rukho. Main Azaad ko call karti hoon."

Janaki quickly dialed Azaad's number and explained everything about the attack and the situation at their home. Azaad, who was in Spain, listened carefully and replied.

Azaad: *determined* "Hum kal subah tak India aa jayenge."

That night, Azaad and Narmada arrived in India. As soon as Azaad saw Aarav, an overwhelming rush of emotions took over. The two brothers looked at each other, tears welling up in their eyes before they embraced tightly. Both of them let out the emotions they had held back for so long, feeling the bond of family once again.

Janaki, witnessing the reunion, was taken back to memories of Arjun and Vikram. Her heart ached, but there was a warmth in seeing the next generation together.

Narmada walked over to Anusuya, her face lighting up. "Anusuya, kaisi ho?"

Anusuya smiled warmly and hugged her. "Main bilkul thik hoon. Tum kaisi ho?"

Narmada: *teasing* "Main theek hoon. Waise, 7th month chal raha hai na?"

Anusuya and Aarav exchanged a glance, both smiling.

Aarav: *nodding* "Haan, sab theek hai?"

Aarav joined in, asking about their family. "Aur, Azaad, mama kaise hain?"

Azaad sighed deeply. "Woh theek hain, lekin chacha ji ke baare mein soch kar unka dil dukhta hai. Pichle kuch dino se Spain mein kuch dino se teek se khana nahi kha rahe."

Narmada: *concerned* "Woh humesha chacha ji ke baare mein sochti rehti hain. Humne unhe Aarav ke baare mein bataya, toh unhone turant kaha, 'jaldi se jao, usse lekar aao.'"

She turned to Janaki with a soft smile. "Aur bhua ji, aapko bhi Spain chalna padega. Sabko dekhkar unka dil bahut halka ho jayega."

Janaki hesitated for a moment, but Anusuya nudged her gently. "Chaliye na, Chachi ji. Waise bhi mama ko aapka bahut intezaar hai."

Janaki finally nodded, giving in to their request. "Accha, theek hai. Chalti hoon."

Later, Aarav and Azaad sat in the garden, enjoying the fresh breeze as they caught up. The tension of the day slowly started to ease as they spoke about their lives.

Aarav: *serious* "Humare parivaar ne bahut kuch saha hai, Azaad."

Azaad: *nodding* "Haan, lekin ab hum dono sab theek kar denge. Yeh waqt hai sab kuch sahi karne ka."

Aarav's face turned thoughtful. "Mere dimaag mein ab bhi bohot sare sawaal hain, aur mujhe inka jawab dhoondhna hoga."

Azaad: "Jo tumhare sawaal hain, wohi mere bhi hain. Par mujhe yaqeen hai, hum answers dhoondh lenge."

Aarav smiled. "Woh kaunse questions hain jo tujhe pareshaan kar rahe hain?"

Azaad paused for a moment. "Papa ke baare mein. Main unke disappearance ka reason samajhna chahta hoon. Aur tumhare papa... lagta hai ki woh zinda hain, haina?"

Aarav nodded, his expression serious. "Haan, mujhe aisa hi lagta hai. Kahin na kahin, mere dil mein yeh ehsaas hai ki woh zinda hain."

Azaad placed a comforting hand on his shoulder. "Dekho, hum unke baare mein pata laga lenge. Tum stress mat lo."

As the evening came to a close, the whole family gathered inside the house. Janaki, Azaad, Narmada, Aarav, and Anusuya began making preparations for their journey to Spain. There was an unspoken hope that this trip would bring answers to the questions they had been holding onto for years, and maybe, just maybe, it would bring them closer to reuniting their fragmented family.
