"what were you two talking about? Sanyogita asked
"We can't tell you anything about it , it's just between me and Prithvi!""; Aryan replied
Sanyogita looked at Prithvi who shrugged his shoulder by the gesture he wanted to reveal that he couldn't say anything to her about that matter
Sanyogita again turned back at Ariyan who was giggling.";Okay don't say"" she gave him a vanilla smile , leaning towards him gave a peek on his forehead and patted his cheek.
She gave him a bar of chocolate but demanded a kiss instead of the chocolate,
Ariyan gave her a sweet kiss on her cheek and "" I love you Aunty"""
;I love you too beta; she again kissed him and caressed his head.Meanwhile a Man had come ,by looking at him anybody can guess he was in between the age of 30 to 36.
Sanyogita introduced the man to Prithvi. The man was Ariyan's father,Mr. Kunal Desai . Prithvi got up from the chair and shook his hand with him.His father had a square shaped face,unshaven, he was at his 5.8 at height ,he was wearing a formal half sleeves shirt and a trouser.He was looking sad which revealed by his tender and aloofness eyes.Ariyan had a mole exact on the tip of his nose same like his father.Kunal informed Sanyogita about Ariyan conditions , Prithvi listened to all the conversation between them in the courtyard of the hospital.He was feeling miserable for Ariyan.
After a few days , Prithvi took Sanyogita at a new place ,
They had visited an orphanage. Sanyogita asked Prithvi why he had taken her there. Prithvi replied to her around eighteen years ago his mother died due to blood cancer.Then he was a ten years old kid.His father and mother had shared a beautiful bond and both of them were in deep love of each other.After the death of his mother his father made this orphan along with the cancer charitable hospital beside it in the memory of her.
Sanyogita was hearing all the words said by Prithvi attentively .Prithvi turned his gaze at her after finishing his; sentences and saw that she was looking at him . Aap apne Maa se bahut jada pyaar karte hain na !
Hm, sabse jada,after her death I became full alone,I missed her daily , every minute and every second. My Grandfather and my grandmother always tried to make me happy ,they played games , told stories to me, in fact they fed me by their hand with a lot of affection and care.His heart became heavy , and his eyes were watery.
Sanyogita moved close to him ,aapki Maa aaj janha kahi bhi hogi ho aapo dekh rahi hogi , aapko mehsush kar rahi hogi, and I am sure She feels so much proud of you for what are you today she said with a halved smile in her face.
Both of them were looking at each other, nobody did not say anything it seemed as if both of them were talking by their eyes ,words were unnecessary at that moment.They had broken their gazing by the ringing bell of the Orphan .Sanyogita moved away her hand by which she held his hand unintentionally.She shifted her gaze to the orphan building.
When they were about to step inside the area, Sanyogita saw a big playground in front of a huge building which was occupied by a vast area.The whole place was filled with so many trees.There were so many rows and rows of beautiful flowers trees were arranged in flower tubs across the wall.On the other side Children were playing, some were wandering here and there, some were laughing delightfully.
Prithvi took her along with him into the caretaker room of the home. He knocked on the room door before entering.Sanyogita saw there was a man at his mid 50s age who was wearing a white clothes which fully cover his body from neck to toe, he seemed like a father from a church.He had white hairs on his forehead, there was a white band around his waist and a black rosary on his neck
Hello Father Joseph,addressed by Prithvi;
He halted his writing and smiled at him. ""Yes ,come, come, what a pleasant surprise my child!"" ";he exclaimed with full of compassion in his eyes.
Prithvi and Sanyogita entered inside the room
""Who is this beautiful lady my son?"""
Prithvi introduced Sanyogita to Father """She is my friend father&
Sanyogita glanced at Prithvi with widened eyes , Prithvi raised his eyebrows at her, though she did not get angry at him. Sanyogita turned around at father , she introduced herself to him by her Hindu Cultural way&;Namastey Father; [clasping her both hands together]Good afternoon , myself Sanyogita Sharma''[putting a pretty smile on her lips]I am a Special Assistant at Sir [indicates towards Prithvi by gesture of her hand]company.``
""";Okay , my child , please be seated"""
Both of them had taken their seats opposite the table. Sanyogita was looking around the room which was looking clean and there were so many piles of files kept in the wardrobe , clearly seen by the transparent glass.
There was a picture of Mother Theresa on the walls of the room.A fan was moving on the ceiling . Outside the temperature was a little bit hot and air was high with humidity , though the room was comparable.
Prithvi told him we had come here to talk to the children and also looked after about the condition of here .Father was feeling glad that he had visited here in spite of his busy schedules.
Father advised Prithvi to take Sanyogita with him and saw her the all spots here ;"""Sure , Father obeyed by Prithvi
Both of them were walking through the terrace of the second floor of the children's building.Sanyogita saw some pictures on the wall , the ceiling , the floor and the whole wall was very beautifully decorated and painted. Two small children who could be around the age of ten to 10 to 12 were running across the corridor , suddenly the smaller boy hid behind her and the older one was trying to catch him.
""Suresh and Rajesh,please go back to the main hall. It's time for praying""" Said by a lady who was wearing a black color tunic covered by a scapular and cowl,with a veil which wrapped around her neck, chin and covering the full head of her.They entered the Prayer room. Prithvi and Sanyogita Stood in the middle of the praying room.Everybody closed their eyes.
Everyone started praying. """Dear lord,we feel great that you have given us birth as human beings in this world.So we are thankful to you for a wonderful opportunity for living this life as a human being."""
Sanyogita saw smiles and happiness on every child's face .
They were thrilled while praying.Some workers bought a big basket of chapati with some curry in a big bowl. The Father told Sanyogita that """My child, please distribute these foods among all the children."""
""I " She asked ,was surprised
""Yes,my daughter.You are our guest today;we would be honoured if you distributed these to all the children.
Sanyogita turned around at Prithvi who blinked his eyes once at her assured her that please do that.She agreed with the Father and gladly distributed the foods.
Every kid said "";Thank you"" to her.There was innocence and happiness on their face .She felt very happy for the joy which she had seen on their smile.It was priceless,indeed.
Prithvi told Sanyogita that After meeting Ariyan he had a feeling to take her here with him.He was feeling bad for him.
Sanyogita was glancing at him afterwards and said""";My father was a professor at a college. He was a very decent , good hearted man. There was hardly a man who didn't respect him. I love him more than anything ,I adore him.My mother is a housewife, a lovely lady.Papa, Maa, Me and along with my elder sister we were a happy family .Everything was going well , every single person at our locality praised my sister for her behaviour and education which she had had from our parents. I was very close to my Di from my childhood.She was a very beautiful and brave girl.Then she was only 19 and I was at the age of 15 . One day I heard the sobbing of my Di when I was passing by her room.
She was looking worried and depressed for the last few days. At night I had woken up by some sounds,then I saw my mother was slapping my sister, my mother who did not raise a single hand on us , but that day she had rage in her head.I could not understand what was going on there ,totally confused about the fact.
I begged Maa to leave her .That night I came to know that my sister was in a relationship with a boy who was in the same college at which she read and my father taught. She had shared everything with me except her relationship with that boy.There were rumours that had spread in our locality day by day.
They were gossiping and whispering behind us in fact a time had appeared when Local men, boys, teased my sister with bad intention.I had gradually came to know that the boy along with his friends trapped my Di,they accused her , blackmail her many times. The boy at first trapped my sister in his fake love, and then he used her again and again.
tears came out from the corner of eyes Sanyogita but she could not stop saying she continued "";My Sister begged him a lot of time but he did not leave her .Students ,teachers ,even the people who respect my father all the time day and night while seeing him walking through the road they greeted him honorably ,they had also started to mock him.
We approached to police at first he said everything would be alright but at the end he was also took side of the boy belonged from a very rich family.A time had come in front of us when my Sister did not had other way except suicide. It was another night when she didn't come out of her room , she had locked herself in there. When we broke the door then we found she was hanging by the ceiling of the fan.Seeing that my father had a cardiac arrest, we were going to hospitalise him but everything had finished in front of us, I was helpless. On that day I lost two most precious people of my life.I have not only lost my father , I lost the roof above my head, my bestie,my sister"";Sanyogita eyes were moistened but the tears didn't dare to come out of her eyes.
Prithvi tried to console her, Sanyogita was fighting with her emotions as her best , she again continued
""from that day I hate rich people and their son. Seven years ago when I meet you , I was thinking that You were also that kind of boy, after that incident at Goa, only for you everybody was looking at me their worse.From then I had Started to hate you.In the present ,first day at office when I saw you again those past memories again engulf me, I had felt the same hatred for you";
Prithvi looked down at his gaze.He did not say anything.
Sanyogita again said"";If I had known your name and identity then I would never did job at your office, I was going to resigned but for Ariyan I couldn't did that.On the day in the shopping mall when Trisha tried to dismiss me from the office , I was trying my best to say that I was innocent, I Tried to protest , but You had come there , started to scold me , I was very angry at you then,I was thinking that you tried to take revenge from me.When you said that to leave the office ,so I had made the decision to left the job. But You exposed Trisha with full evidence.At last you saved my life from that evil Manager , Then you proved me wrong. On that Day I have realised You are different , I will always remain grateful to you, from that day my heart has started to grow huge respect for you'"
Prithvi looked up at her , there was silence at that moment, The sun was setting on the western sky which became orange , gradually pinkish.
Both of them were gazing at each other,neither of them spoke nor blinked their eyes for once. The street light had been starting to lighten up one by one across the footpath.Cool wind touched her flawless skins ,she closed her eyes and it gave her disheartened mind some kind of peace.
Prithvi removed his gaze, he could feel the anguish that had been buried inside her .He wished to touch her,not physically but to touch her heart and soul,to hugged her tightly ,runs his hand through her hairs to console her,Patted her back if in anyhow that diminished all the sorrows, miseries ,agony of her that she kept hid inside her chest.He felt perhaps it was too early and he didn't want to sound desperate if she thought him wrong.However,love is love and feelings never die no matter how many days ,years have passed, how many distance you go.All he could do at that time was that to comfort her by his words “Sanyogita,you are not a loser ,you are a fighter “
She looked at him with unblinking eyes
He continued “Not every fighter needs weapons for fighting, you have been fighting for your family, for Ariyan.Loser or cowards are those who take advantage of honest and innocent people,but they are totally unaware of the fact that truth and honesty are the strongest weapon of human.I am feeling equitable that you have at least think me a good person and share your affliction to me.”
Sanyogita staring at him”I am Sorry , I think I was wrong before , I misunderstood you then”
Prithvi smiled at her”Leave those things, I have already forgotten that day incident, now forget you too!!”gave advice to her
Sanyogita nodded her head positively
“Well, when we meet again, we can become friends, can't we ”he asked by glancing at her eyes
Sanyogita glaring and gave a soft smile to him , simply nodding her head“Thik hai (okay)”
“By the way, I am hungry, the rats are dancing in the stomach, we can go somewhere to eat, otherwise the rats will come back on strike.”said by Prithvi by keeping his hand on his stomach”
Sanyogita started to laugh at him, Prithvi was looking at her shyly , he thought in his mind when the last time he had seen her blooming smile, the sound of her laughter .

The rich can get away with crimes many times and they are still respected by people. What happened to her family was horrible.
