"Jab laga badalon se dosti ho gayi ..badalon se chand jhanka or roshni ho gayi..."
"Thank you so much for making it Sidharth.." Dr. Bagchi said hugging Sidharth.."Actually meri neice bhot badi fan h tumhari..bas isiliye I insisted you to join here..Or meri wife bhi tumhe or Shehnaaz ko bhot yaad krti h.."
"Not at all..pleasure is all mine sir..aapne bhot help ki thi humari last time when we were here...This is least.." Sidharth replied in all his modesty..he has been feeling uneasy since long, he repeatedly checked his phone his face fell to see no response from PI, he was loosing hope with every day that passed and every second that neared his departure..... there was unusual tension that gripped his heart, he was feeling sweaty in this cold weather with a strange excitement engulfing him..
"So how is Shehnaaz.." Dr. Bagchi asked in a jolly way..
"She is fine.." Sidharth said in a brief sentence giving a hint to him to not continue the conversation further...
"You did not have much difficulty in finding the address..Vo actually this part is in very secluded areas of Dalhousie...You don't even have proper access to networks over here..People usually built getaways over here..away from the world.." Dr. Bagchi said continuing the conversation and introducing Sidharth proudly to his friends and people around while Sidharth was in best of his modest self but there was a strange restless ensuing him which he failed to understand...
"So for how long are you here Sidharth.." Anshul asked as they all looked at him..
"Just 2 days more.." Sidharth said sipping on his drink...
"Samar..aa gaya tu.." suddenly Anshul said looking at the gate as he walked excusing himself to the door..The name enough to make Sidharth's insides churn, he felt like being splashed with ice cold bucket water as he heard the name..'Samar'...it was like his past suddenly revolved around him like a film..."Teri mom nahi aayi" he heard Anshul asking making him turn around to look at a hardly 6-7 year old boy..smiling with a grin at Anshul, as he conversed something in English to him, he had wide brown eyes..his face glowed with innocence as a few of his hair bangs fell on his forehead while he ran his hand occasionally in them setting them non chalantly very much like his own self.....he had pinkish lips that when smiled reached his eyes..he was maybe the most adorable child he had seen and he had no reason for this conclusion he came to in just a few seconds, when like some magnetic pull he walked to where he was standing chattering with Anshul in his baby voice..he kneeled down in front of him as his hand moved forward trying to touch him when he saw his wide eyed gaze shifting to his hand and then him...he looked shocked as he saw him..he stepped back in an instant as he saw his hand reach his face..he stood there as Sidharth looked at his reaction a bit confused which turned from shocked into scared as he looked at him..he stepped more back before he turned around running from the place in a swift motion..
"Samar..Samar..kya hua.." Anshul shouted from behind as Sidharth sat in crouched position still contemplating what just happened..
"Vo m sorry..maybe kuch yaad aa gya hoga isse.." Anshul says chuckling as he looked at surprised Sidharth while he gets up..looking at him lost in his thoughts to a strange pull and feeling he just felt..who was he, his heart feared to think what he was thinking when he mustered himself asking Anshul ..."Who was he.." he asked stammering..
"Ohh he..he is Samar..he lives with his mother just 2 houses away.."
"His father..." Sidharth asked in a scared voice..as his heart clenched in fear..
"Don't know man..his mother came 7 years back here with one of our close friend, they both have been living here alone since then...but lovely people..this boy Samar, if he comes back you will love to meet him..Bade bhai recommended them to stay here.." Anshul said pointing towards Dr. Bagchi as a bewildered Sidharth looked at him..who just nodded sympathetically with a what he is thinking is right look..he felt the ground slipping beneath his head as he rushed out leaving a blabbering Anshul behind..
