~~”Ek duje se hain alag-alag….Chal rahe hain rahon par anjaani...Na jaane kab takra jayen ye anjaane aur likh den koi nayi kahani….Rail ki patri ke jaise saath chalte toh hain par milkar bhi na mil pate hain….Kya likha hai inn mastaanon ki taqdeer mein...EK duje ke liye karenge jaan nisaar ya rahenge yun hi juda-juda….”~~

“Mumma, Mumma…”, calls out little Kriti from the hospital bed...Her mother who went to freshen up in the washroom rushed to her and said, “Kya hua bacha...Kuch chahiye aapko….” Kriti makes a cute sad face and says, “Mumma mujhe Sidharth mamu se baat karni hai…” Her mother Shivika replies, “But baby abhi toh vo busy honge na office mein...Hum baad mein baat karenge…” Kriti like an adamant child says, “Mujhe abhi baat karna hai...Aap hamesha kehte ho vo busy hain aur phir mujhe sula dete ho aur baat bhi nahi karate...Bad mumma…” Shivika takes a deep breath and calls Sidharth...He picks up in a single ring and says, “Hello...Haan Shivika toone aise ekdum call kiya….Kriti toh theek haina...Aaj hai na uski heart surgery dopahar ko...Toone bata diya usse...Is she fine?? Main kya abhi hi aa jaun..” Shivika interrupts her over anxious brother before he asks any further, “Bhai...She is fine...Vo bohot zidd kar rahi thi aapse baat karne ki...Samjhaya ke aap busy hoge par maani hi nahi...Isiliye call karna hi pada mujhe….Usse ek baar baat karlo and yes please don’t tell her about the surgery kyunki maine nahi bataya ab tak..Doctor khud batayengi usse…” Sidharth replies in a bit serious tone, “Ek call ke liye meri princess ko itna zid karna pada tujhse...Apne bade bhai ko aakhir samajh kya rakha hai toone...Accha give her the phone…” Shivika hands over the phone to Kriti…
Sidharth: Hello mera baby...Kaisa hai??
Kriti: Bohot gussa hun main aapse buddy…
Sidharth: Arrey aise kaise...Kya kar diya ab aapke buddy ne…
Kriti: Aapko toh meri yaad hi nahi aati...Aap mujhe call hi nahi karte...Milne bhi nahi aate…
Sidharth: Abhi toh kar rahe hain na baat...Aur aap jab theek ho jaoge toh mamu aapko sabse pehle aapki favourite board game ke saath milenge….Okay…
Kriti: Yeahhhhh….Okay mamu….Aap toh best ho...Acha aap mujhe vo meri favourite darr vali poem bhejo na...Mujhe apne fear ko chuuu mantar karna hai…
Sidharth: Okay bhejta poem aapko...But kis cheez ka fear…
Kriti: Yahan pe meri favourite angel didi ko chhod ke sab mujhe bade bade injection lagate hain...Bass angel didi hi mujhe hamesha pyaar se check karti hai aur achi achi baatein karke samjhati hai ke agar main good girl banke sabki baat manungi toh bilkul theek ho jaungi…
Sidharth: Bilkul theek kehti hain aapki angel didi...Toh jo good girls hoti hain na vo bohot strong hoti hain aur apne fear ko apne aap se durr bhaga deti hain...Acha mamu ko abhi meeting ke liye jaana hai...Toh aap aaj jab aapki angel didi aayen unhe mamu ki taraf se ek flying kiss karna aur aapka khayal rakhne ke liye thank you bolna okay…
Kriti: Okay mamu...Main unhe pakka flying kiss karungi…
Sidharth: Okay meri princess...Bye and stay strong…
The moment Kriti disconnects the call with Sidharth, her angel didi enters for her check up that had to be done an hour before the surgery….She goes near her and says, “ Good Morning my little munchkin….Aur aap ready ho…” Shivika interrupts and says, “Haan haan doctor, she is ready for the check up…” Hearing her Dr. Shehnaaz instantly understands that she will have to tell Kriti about the surgery in her own way. She gives an assurance to Shivika by blinking her eyes and sits near Kriti holding her hands and says, “Kriti aapko pata hai aapka jo ye chota sa dil hai na aapki body mein isme bohot saara pyaar hai sabke liye...Aapka dil hamesha dhadakta rehta hai aur aapki body ke har organ ko life deta hai...Pata hai kaise...Iske through aapka blood jo hai usse oxygen milta hai aur vo pure ho jaata hai and body mein pohonch jaata hai….Issi dil ke through aap apna har emotion feel karte ho….Par aapka jo ye dil hain na usme ek tiny sa, bohot chota sa hole hai jise humein na band karna padega...Hum aapko ek chotu sa injection deke sula denge and jab aap so rahe hoge tab aapka vo hole hum band kardenge aur aapko pata bhi nahi chalega...You just have to be fearless baby…”  Kriti smiles while Shehnaaz does her routine checkup….Shehnaaz was speaking to Shivika when Kriti closes her eyes, keeps her hand near her heart and says, “Darr ka dusra naam hai jeet...Darr jo tumhe daraye toh darr ko boldo ke main tumse nahi darrti kyunki tumse guzarkar hi toh jeet se milungi….Tumse ladkar hi toh mujhe aasmaan ki lambai naapne milegi...Darr ka dusra naam hai jeet…” Shehnaaz smiles and says, “Aap, aapki smile aur poem teeno hi best hai…” Kriti gives a flying kiss to Shehnaaz and says, “Ye poem na mere Buddy ne mujhe sikhayi hai...He is the best mamu aur unhone hi mujhe aapko flying kiss karke thank you kehne bola…”
Shehnaaz smiles and says, “Aapke mamu ko bhi meri taraf se same karke thank you kehna aapko itna strong banane ke liye…”
Shehnaaz goes out of the room and instructs the nurse to keep the OT ready. She also calls Shivika outside for a while and assures her that it’s a very small hole and can be cured by the surgery. Shivika also completes the necessary formalities and calls up her family.
KYA YAHI HAI INKI KAHANI KI SHURUWAAT?? KYA YE DO ANJAANE TAKRAYENGE KISI RAAH PAR??
