CHAPTER - 16
After getting discharge from the hospital,Rahul said to Akash,"Akash ab main teri koi bhi baat nehi sununga.Mujhe abhi jabki tickets milengi,hum usidin India waapas jaayenge."Akash was walking very slowly towards the car and asked,"Achaanak kya ho gaya hai tujhe?"Rahul stopped and then said,"Just look at you Akash!!Tera accident hote hote bacha hai,tere saath kuch bhi ho sakta tha aur tere saath jo bhi hota vo alag tu dusre ke bachche ki jaan bhi jokhim mein daal sakta tha.Maine daadi se waada kiya hai ke main tera pura khayaal rakkhunga,par ab main unhe kya bolunga?"Akash looked at Rahul for sometime open mouthed with confusion and then asked,"To mere accident ka India jaane se...matlab in dono ke beech mein kya relation hai?"Rahul realized that due to Ananya's warning and the tension of Akash's health,he was speaking too illogical and so he quickly made up an answer and said,"Main bas itna kehna chahta hu ke its quite late now,hume abhi waapas chalna chahiye.Tu bhale hi company ka maalik hai par main to employee hu na,meri naukri par ban aayegi.Yaha hamaara koi nehi hai,aaj tere saath vo bachchi thi isliye uski ma ne aakar teri operation mein madat ki kahi kisi din kuch aur...to koi nehi aayega.Phir main kya karunga?Isiliye tu chal yaha se phir waha India mein jaakar jo dil mein aaye karna,par please abhi chal yaha se mere bhai."Akash still looked confusingly at Rahul and then asked,"Ye tu kya bol raha hai?"Rahul opted to leave the topic and said,"Main kuch nehi bol raha tu ghar chal abhi."Saying he helped Akash to get inside the car and then asked the driver to drove upto their apartment.While going Akash said to Rahul,"Please tu dadi ko is accident ke baare mein kuch bhi mat bataana."Rahul replied,"Nehi bataaunga par tujhe bhi meri baat manni paregi.Aaj jab tera operation chal raha tha na to daadi ka phone aaya tha,sirf mujhe pata hai kaise maine unse jhut bola hai.Tujhe pata hai na main thik se jhut nehi bol sakta hu yaar."Akash nodded his head and then joined his hands and said,"Ok mere baap,tujhe jabke tickets milengi main tabhi jaaunga tere saath.Par ek baat hai jo mujhe bari ajeeb lagi..."Rahul asked,"Kaunsi baat?"Akash looked out of the window and said,"Yehi ke Mrs Ananya ne mere operation ke formality waale papers par meri wife ki jagah sign kiya..."He looked at Rahul and asked,"Do you think she is having a crush on me?"Rahul was stunned as well as annoyed on seeing Akash cracking jokes even after his accident and said,"Akash jushshut up!!"Akash casually said,"No you just think koi bhi anjaan aurat jo apne husband se itna pyar karti hai,vo kabhi bhi kisi aur aadmi ki jaan bachaane ke liye aisa...hargiz nehi karti."Out of disgust,on hearing him,Rahul said,"Akash you are so disgusting!!"Akash laughed out and in the next moment,he screamed lightly with pain and Rahul mocked,"Ulta seedha sochega to yehi hoga.She just helped you since her daughter was involved varna vo ghum kar bhi nehi dekhti.By the way I can't believe that you are thinking about a married woman."Akash gave a whistle and said,"Uske husband ne usko chor diya hai and koi bhi insaan jab chahe apni zindagi dubaara se shuru kar sakta hai isme koi buraai nehi hai.She is such a nice woman you know agar main uske husband ki jagah hota na,main usko kabhi nehi chorta,zindagi bhar usko apne sar par bitha kar rakhta aur vo jo bachchi hai na Paakhi,main usko itna pyar deta,itna pyar deta ke uske papa uske liye super hero bante,villain nehi.You know vo dono nehi,vo aadmi unlucky hai jisne itni pyaari family ko thukraya hai.Ek aadmi ko khush rehne ke liye kya chahiye,zindagi araam se kat jaaye itne paise aur ek pyar karne waali family thats it.By the way dekha jaaye to us aadmi mein aur mujhme thora sa hi fark hai.Usne apni khushiyo ko thuraaya hai aur mujhe khushiyo ne."He gave a deep sigh and looked outside the window again.Rahul nodded his head and in his mind,said,"Na to tu unlucky hai aur naahi vo dono.Tum dono ka hi time kharaab hai.I hope tum dono ko apne hisse ki khushiya mil jaaye aur jaisifamily kit u baat kar raha hai,I hope ki ye teri family bhi jald hi complete ho jaaye aur Paakhi ko tu itna pyar kare ke uske dil se tere liye saari nafrat nikal jaaye."He too gave a deep sigh.
Ananya returned home and found Paakhi was waiting for her in the hall.On seeing her,Paakhi straight away asked,"Where on the earth have you been mom?Where did you go?"Ananya replied,"Paakhi I was getting suffocated so main walk lene gayi thi."Paakhi looked into her eyes and found Ananya was trying to steal her gaze away from her and said,"I know you're lying,main jaanti hu aap Akash Saluja se milne gayi thi.Maine aapko itni baar mana kiya hai par phir bhi aap kyu milne gayi thi unse?"Ananya said,"Look Paakhi,unhe ek operation ki zarurat thi aur yaha unka koi nehi hai so I had to attend him.Unko hosh aaya tha isliye main unse milne gayi thi aur vaise bhi unhone tumhaari jaan bachaayi hai.I should say thanks to him.Right??"Paakhi asked,"To aap mujhe bina bole kyu gayi?"Ananya replied,"You were sleeping baby."Paakhi yelled,"Nehi aap jhut bol rahi ho,aapne jaan bujh kar mujhe kuch nehi bola hai.I know it very well that you love him and you wanna go away with him and leave me forever just like he left us."Ananya was so fed-up of her insecurities that she replied,"Hamesha har baar usi baat ko lekar arguments kyu karti ho Paakhi.Iam tired of all these.Tumhe apne dad se insecurities hoti hai?Main unse just milne gayi thi aur Rahul uncle ko maine ye samjh diya hai ke vo jitni jaldi ho sakey tumhaare dad ko yaha se le jaaye India waapas."Paakhi again yelled,"Vo mere dad nehi hai!!"On hearing her shout,Rohit and Natasha and others came out of their rooms.Rohit asked,"Kya hua?Ye chillana kyu ho raha hai itni raat ko?"Paakhi went to Rohit and said,"See dad mom went to meet Akash Saluja and that too without informing me.Iam telling you vo Akash Saluja ke saath chali jaana chahti hai mujhe chorkar."Ananya pulled Paakhi by her arm and pointed finger on her face and said,"Listen to me very carefully Paakhi...Akash is your father and so try give him respect.Vo mera husband hai aur main tumhaare dad se bohot pyar karti hu aur main apne husband se milne gayi and for that I don't need anyone's permission.Roz roz ka ye saara hungama mujhe pasand nehi hai.Abhi tumhe jo samajhne hai samajhlo,I don't care."Ananya stormed inside her bedroom and banged the door.Rohit came to Paakhi and tried to persuade her and said,"Paakhi what is all this yaar?Hamesha ek baat par kyu itna bharakti rehti ho beta?Just let it go!!"Paakhi said,"Dekha dad,mom chali jaayegi."Rohit sat on his knees and then turned Paakhi towards him and said,"Why are you so insecured about Akash?Mom ko agar tumhe chorna hota aur dad ke paas waapas jaana hota to kabki ja sakti thi aur koi nehi rokta and legally we don't have that right either.So please hamesha tum jo aisa karti ho na isse mom ko bohot pareshaani hoti hai.Tumhaara ye jo dar hai nikaal do isko.You know your dad is a very good person aur tumhaare parents jo aaj saath mein nehi hai uske peeche reason hai jo tumhaare samajhne ki umar nehi hui hai.You never know jab shaayad tumhaare dad waapas aayenge to tumse itna pyar karenge ke tab tumhe hum mein se kisiki bhi yaad nehi aayegi."Paakhi hugged Rohit and said,"No you are my dad aur mujhe koi dusra dad nehi chahiye and no one can love me more than you and not even like you.Main hamesha aaphike paas rahungi,agar mom ko jaana hai Akash Saluja ke paas,to vo jaaye par main yaha se kahi nehi jaaungi."Rohit hugged her tight and said,"No ones going to send you anywhere from here and mom too is not going anywhere leaving you.So please let your mom do whatever she likes to do and feels happy.Agar vo tumhe freedom de sakti hai then why not you?"He broke the hug and said,"Tumhe Akash se problem hai just fine!!Par mom unse pyar karti hai aur khush hai to just be it.Aisa karogi to tum mom se dur hoti jaaogi and I think you don't want Akash to come in between you two so just relax!!Ok!!Am I clear?"Paakhi nodded her head and Rohit picked her up and said,"Well thats like my girl!!"He took her into her bedroom.
Next day,while Ananya was leaving for office,Paakhi stopped Ananya,but Ananya was very upset with her daughter and so she didn't look at her and then Paakhi held her hand and said,"Iam sorry mom!!It won't happen again!!"Ananya said,"Ye promise tum bohot baar kar chuki ho Paakhi but you never fulfil your promise."Paakhi stood in front of Ananya and said,"I promise main Akash Saluja ke baare mein kabhi bad mouth nehi karungi.If you want to meet him you can because dad explained me you won't leave me ever for anyone in the world."Ananya said,"Ye baat maine bhi tumhe bohot baar explain kiya hai par tum hamesha apni buanani ki baato par mom se zyaada believe karti ho.Tumhaari mom to tumhaare liye kuch matter hi nehi karti hai."Paakhi said,"No mom I trust you but...I just sometimes...I feel so insecured.I think...you love him more than me."She lowered her head and Paakhi looked at her for sometime and then she sat on her knees and said,"Jab ek woman mom banti hai na to vo apne kids ke alava kisi aur se sabse zyada pyar nehi karti hai.Just go and ask Natasha!!Even she doesn't love Rohit more than you and Panchi and Rohit is also just the same.Its like husband wife hamesha ek dusre se love karte hai jaise Natasha mom and Rohit dad does,bilkul vaise hi main aur tumhaare dad bhi karte hai.Bas...the situations are a bit different now par isme tumhaare dad ki koi galti nehi hai.Main khud apni marzi se tumhaare dad se alag hui hu and he even doesn't know that we are his family."She tried to explain Paakhi but she couldn't and then Ananya said,"See things are very complex between me and your dad.But one thing I can say is...if you can't love...of course main tumhe force bhi nehi karungi and I can understand tumne unke saath kabhi time spend nehi kiya so you won't feel attached to him,but...just...try...not to hate him.Dekhna bohot relax feel karogi.Aisa samajhlo ke vo stranger hai aur hum strangers ko hate nehi karte hai.Right??"Paakhi nodded her head.Ananya said,"Akash bohot jald India se chala jaayega and even I hope ke meri aur uski kabhi koi mulaaqaat na ho."Paakhi was very happy and then Ananya said,"Ok so everything sorted out and now we two,Panchi and Adi will have a night out today.Alright?"Paakhi nodded her head and then Ananya before leaving asked the kids to get ready before she arrives.
CHAPTER - 17
[ Past]
Ananya came to Mumbai in her new home Saluja Mansion where Namrata welcomed her and Akash by taking all their evil eyes.Ananya put her first step inside her new home where her life was going to change very soon.Naina said to Ananya,"Ananya ye raha tumhaara naya ghar.I know itne bare ghar mein tumhe rehne ki aadat nehi hai,but kuch time ke liye tumhe yehi rehna hai."Ananya replied,"I know jabtak Akash thik nehi ho jaata hai tabtak mujhe yehi rehna hai."Akshay mocked to Dhruv,"Bhai dekh paagal ne bhi shaadi kar li aur hamaare pyaare bare bhaiya hamaare liye bhabhi lekar aaye hai."Akash looked at them and angrily said,"Ye meri friend hai Ananya,ye abse mere paas rahegi aur mere saath khelegi bhi.Hai na?"Ananya nodded her head.Namrata said to Akash,"Akash beta chalo bohot lamba safar tey karke aaye ho na,chalo chal kar araam kar lo."Akash grabbed Ananya's hand and then said,"Nehi nehi nehi main apni friend ko chorkar kahi nehi jaaunga.Ananya bhi mere saath aayegi."Yash said,"Akash tum papa ke achche bachche ho na?Tum jaao,mujhe Ananya se kuch baat karni hai.Usey bataana parega na ke tumhe kya kya pasand hai aur kya nehi?"Akash agreed and said,"Ha ha papa aap achche se samjha do."Akash then left with Namrata and Yash said to Ananya,"Ab jab tumhaari shaadi mere bete Akash se ho hi chuki hai to ab main ye chahta hu ke tumhaare aur mere beech mein jo deal hui thi us baat par aate hai."He asked her to sit and then he took out a paper and gave it to Ananya.She asked,"Ye kya hai?"Yash replied,"Ye contract papers hai aur iske mutaabik,tum is ghar mein rahogi Akash ki biwi aur is ghar ki bari bahu bankar.Tumhe is ghar mein saare maan samman milengi jo ghar ki bahu ko milta hai aur badle mein tumhe Akash ka pura dhyaan rakhna hoga,uski har choti se choti cheez ka aur tumhaare kiye huye in saare favours ke badle mein tumhaare papa ki treatment,tumhaare ghar ka loan,tumhaare bhai ka business aur tumhaari behen ka future sab kuch meri responsibility hogi aur mere bete ka dhyaan rakhne ke fees ke mutaabik,tumhaare account mein har mahine 5 laakh rupiye transfer kar diya jaayega.Ab hamaare doctor ne matlab jo Akash ka treatment kar rahe hai unhone kaha hai ke jis din Akash thik ho jaayega,usdin vo apni accident se lekar apna paagalpan aur is beech mein uske saath jo kuch bhi hua vo sab kuch bhul jaayega.Yaani ke vo tumhe bhi bhul jaayega aur jis din aisa hua,vo din tumhaare liye is ghar mein aakhri din hoga."He stopped to take breath and then said,"Usdin tum ye ghar chorkar chali jaaogi aur tumhaare jaane ka saara intezaam kar diya jaayega aur yaha se jaane ke baad tum hamaare parivaar ke kisi bhi member ko kabhi contact karne ki koshish nehi karogi aur naahi kisi kisam ka legal step lene ki himmat karogi."Yash gave Ananya a pen and said,"Ye sab kuch is contract mein likha hua hai,abhi tum isko achchi tarah se par ke ispar sign kardo."Ananya took the pen and said,"Aapko ye contract banaane ki zarurat nehi thi sir,mera kaam khatam hone ke baad main yaha ek pal ke liye bhi nehi rukti."Yash smiled and replied,"I know Ananya but you know Iam a businessman aur ye deal tumne bhi aur maine bhi dono ne apne faayde ke liye ki hai aur main chahta hu ke hum dono apne apne kaam mein loyal rahe aur koi bhi kabhi bhi dhokha dene ki koshish na kare."Ananya took the pen and thought,"Meri zindagi mein sab kuch hi ek business deal hota ja raha hai,kabhi kabhi lagta hai,mujhe bhi shaayad bhagwaan ne yaha kisi deal par hi bheja hai."She smiled sadly and sarcastically on herself and then signed the paper.
Ananya went to Akash's bedroom where Namrata was helping him to change his dress.On seeing Ananya,Akash said,"Arey friend aa gayi??Papa ne tumhe sab samjha diya hai na achche se?"Ananya replied,"Ha bilkul achche se samjha diya hai aur ye bhi kaha hai ke unke Akash ko kabhi koi problem na ho."Namrata said to Akash,"Chalo tum apne dholu ke saath khelo,main Ananya ko seekha deti hu ke mere Akash ka khaana kaise banana chahiye.Thik hai?"Akash nodded his head.Namrata took Ananya to the kitchen and then asked,"Ghar par phone kiya?"Ananya sadly nodded her head and then replied,"Nehi mauka hi nehi mila."Namrata asked her to call in her home and Ananya called Natasha.The convo :-
N :- "Anu kaisi hai??Tu pohoch gayi waha?"
A :- "Ha pohoch gayi and you don't worry papa ka treatment achci tarah se ho jaayega aur ghar ka loan bhi main jaldi pay kar dungi."
N :- "I know my angel tu sab thik kar degi ab bas jaldi se kaam khatam karke yaha waapas aa ja.Tere bina yaha mujhe kuch bhi achcha nehi lagta hai."
Ananya was feeling like crying her heart out but she was trying her best to control her tears but Natasha understood that something was wrong with Ananya.
N :- "Anu tu thik to hai na?"
A :- "Ha Nats main thik hu tu fikar mat kar aur tu apni paraai par dhyaan de."
N :- "Ya ok bye.I love you and miss you a lot."
A :- "Ya me too aur sabko please inform kar dena."
They disconnected the call.Namrata asked to wipe Ananya her tears and said,"Abhi to shuruwaat hai Ananya abhi to tumhe bohot aasu bahaane hai.Yaha ek ek din tumhaare liye kisi jung se kam nehi hai.Yaha tumhe sirf mere Akash ka khayaal hi nehi rakhna hai balki usey uski izzat bhi waapas dilwaani hai."Ananya was confused and asked,"Ji main kuch samjhi nehi."Namrata replied,"Akash kehne ko to is ghar ka bara beta hai,lekin koi uski izzat nehi karta hai.Yash Akash se bohot pyar karta hai aur isiliye vo tumhe yaha laaya hai,par vo Naina ki haath ki bhi kathputli hai.Naina,meri bahu,baaki ke teen bachche Akshay,Dhruv aur Suhaana usike bachche hai jo apne bare bhai ko insaan hi nehi samajhte hai.Ye jaaydaat mere pati ki thi jiske aadhe ka ek lauta waaris Akash hai aur Naina ki nazar usipar hai.Akash ka thik hona uske liye bhi bohot zaruri hai kyuki agar vo thik nehi hua,to vo kuch bhi karke ye property apne naam nehi karwa sakti hai.Main bas itna chahti hu ke mera Akash thik ho jaaye aur usey uski izzat waapas miley.Agar Yash ne tumhe choose kiya hai to zarur tumme koi na koi baat hogi.Bas tum mere Akash ko jaldi se thik kardo kyuki usko bas dawaai ki nehi purey dhyaan ki bhi zarurat hai."Ananya replied,"Main apni taraf se puri koshish karungi Mrs Saluja aakhir isi liye hi to main yaha aayi hu."Namrata said,"Mrs Saluja nehi,Akash mujhe daadi bulaata hai to iska matlab hai ke tum bhi mujhe daadi bulaaogi."Ananya smiled and nodded her head and then replied,"Ji daadi!!"Namrata replied,"Jaao abhi jaakar Akash ke paas betho main tum dono ka dinner tumhaare room mein bhijwaati hu."Ananya nodded her head and then left from there.
The servants brought food for both Ananya and Akash in their room and then Ananya served Akash's food and asked him to eat.Akash said,"Mujhe meri daadi khilaati hai aur kahaani bhi sunaati hai.Tum bhi khilaao aur sunaao kahaani mujhe."Ananya asked,"Par tum khud kyu nehi kha sakte?"He replied,"Arey main khud khaaunga to mere dholu ke saath kaun khelega?Aur agar main dholu ke saath khelunga nehi to usko bura lagega na."He looked at Ananya in such a way as if he could not believe that Ananya didn't know such a small thing.Ananya thought that everyone had made Akash a dependent man who can't do his own work and she decided to make him do all his works by himself and she understood why Namrata had mentioned that her life was going to be very hard.Ananya said,"Oh to tumhe khelna hai isliye tum dholu ko bhi khaana nehi khaane dete.Hai na?"Akash widened his eyes and asked,"Mera dholu bhi khaana khaata hai?"Ananya,too,in the same way replied,"Arey tumhe nehi pata?Dholu to khaana bhi khaata hai,nahaata bhi hai,sab kuch karta hai aur khud se karta hai,kyuki vo big boy hai,Akash ke tarah chotu baby nehi."Akash made a face and then replied,"Par main bhi to big boy hu."Ananya replied,"Tum kaise big boy ho sakte ho?Tumhe to khilaana parta hai,phir nehlaana parta hai,kapre bhi pehnaane parte hai.Big boy aise thore hi hote hai?"It hurt Akash's ego and he said,"Main bhi sab kar sakta hu.."Saying he tried to have his food but made a mess of everything.Ananya understood that she had to start from the pre-school level and then she cleaned his mouth and his dresses.After that Ananya taught him how to have food all by onself and Akash was a pretty fast learner and Ananya understood that Akash just only needed guidance and he himself is a born genious.After Akash,finished his own food,Ananya clapped for him and said,"Arey vaah Akash ne to apna khaana khud hi kha liya.Akash is such a big boy and such a good boy.Aaj ke liye itna hi kaafi hai,main dheere dheere Akash ko sab kuch seekha dungi."Akash was so happy and clapped for himself and said to his toy,"Dholu dekha maine khud se kha liya."The servant brought a glass of milk for Akash and Ananya said to him,"Kal se Akash ka khaana uske room par nehi aayega kyuki kal se Akash sabke saath dining table par khaayega."The servants used to love Akash very much and so they were very happy and Namrata who was watching them from outside,thought in her mind,"Yash ne apni puri zindagi mein ye ek sahi kaam kiya hai.Yehi hai vo jo mere Akash ko uski jagah dila sakti hai."He smiled at them and left from there.
Akash made a sad face and then said,"Par main sabke saath nehi khaaunga.Sab mujhe na cheerate hai,paagal paagal bolte hai.Mujhe achcha nehi lagta."Ananya said,"Jo Akash ko paagal bolte hai na vo saare paagal hai.Tum is purey world mein sabse achche ho."While drinking his milk,Akash said,"Mere ghar mein mere papa hai,vo gandi aunty hai,meri daadi hai,mere bhai behen hai.Tumhaare ghar mein kaun hai?"Ananya felt sad thinking about her family and said,"Mere ghar mein ek bimaar papa hai,jinka operation karaana hai.Ek bhai hai,bhabhi hai,ek behen hai,ek dost hai,ek bua hai aur ek chotu sa bhatija hai."Ananya had tears in her eyes while thiking about her family and then Akash wiped her tears and then he said,"Tum fikar mat karo friend main aur dholu milkar tumhaare papa ke liye God se pray karenge dekhna vo jaldi thik ho jaayenge."Ananya smiled and then Akash asked,"Tumhaare ghar mein bhi ek chotu baby hai?Kitna chotu hai?"Ananya replied,"Vo itna chota hai ke mamma bhi nehi bol paata."He was excited and said,"Achcha???Pata hai sab na mujhe bhi baby kehte hai,big baby aur mujhe chirhaate hai."He came close to her and then said,"Tum apne us chotu baby ko mere paas lekar aaogi?Mujhe chotu baby bohot achche lagte hai,main uske saath khelunga."Ananya said,"Jab vo thora sa bara ho jaayega to main lekar aaungi usko abhi chote baby ko to mamma ki zarurat hai na."Akash agreed and then said,"Pata hai mere paas meri mamma nehi hai,main jab bohot chota tha na tab meri mamma God ke paas chali gayi aur star ban gayi.Daadi kehti hai ke jab main bohot khush hota hu na to meri mamma jo star hai vo bohot bright ho jaata hai.Tumhaari mamma kaha hai?"She looked on to the sky outside the window and said,"Meri mamma bhi star ban gayi hai."Akash folded his lips and asked,"Tum sad ho?"She replied,"Thori thori."Akash said,"Tum sad mat ho tumhaari mamma bhi star hai aur meri mamma bhi star hai,dekh lena dono mein hamaare jaise friendship bhi ho gayi hogi."Ananya smiled at him.She was very touched by his innocence and then decided no matter what happens to her life,she would leave no stones unturned to make Akash's life better.
CHAPTER - 18
[ Present ]
Ananya took the kids at first into a shopping mall,where they were allowed to shop as much as they wanted.While going on a food court,unfortunately,they bumped onto Akash and Rahul.On seeing each other,Ananya and Rahul both were scared and Paakhi was disgusted and Akash was very happy.Akash wished them,"Hullo Mrs Ananya and hi kids!!"Aditya looked at Paakhi and Panchi innocently said,"Hi Akash dad!!"Ananya's heard bumped loudly and Akash was stunned.Paakhi slapped on her head and then asked,"Panchi what did I tell you?"Akash asked Panchi,"What did you call me just now?"Panchi was so innocent that she said,"Sorry vo di ne aapko dad bulaane se mana kiya hai to main aapko kya bulaau?"He looked very confusingly at Ananya and she replied,"Vo...uh...vo usko lagta hai ke every Saluja is my...you know..."Akash replied,"Ya ya of course I can understand...you know kids."Akash asked the kids,"So kids kitni shopping ki yaha?"Paakhi replied,"Thats none of your business!!"Ananya grinned,"Paakhi behave yourself!!"Ananya then said to Akash,"Uh..well hum chalte hai kyuki bachcho ko bohot bhukh lagi hai."Akash said,"Thats great!!Today's dinner on me!!"Ananya almost screamed out of fear and she said,"Nehi!!"Akash,Rahul and the kids looked at her with shock but she somehow managed herself and then said,"Vo...uh...aaj maine unko promise kiya hai ke main unhe unke favourate hotel mein le jaakar khaana khilaaungi aur phir kal school hai to ghar bhi jaldi jaana hai.So..."Saying she almost pushed the kids and moved out of the mall,without waiting for Akash to say anything.Akash said to Rahul,on seeing Ananya's weired acts and said,"Now thats so rude!!Maine to bas dinner ke liye pucha tha?Isme itna weired behave karne ki kya zarurat thi?"Rahul replied,"Off!!Tujhe pata hai na unki beti tujhe dekh kar kitna gussa ho jaati hai shaayad isi vajah se taaki koi scene na create ho jaaye isi vajah se usne avoid kiya ho."Akash said,"Whatever!!Chal chalte hai!!"Rahul gave a sigh of relief when Akash didn't say anything about Ananya that day.
Few days later,a day before Akash was leaving for India,he decided to meet Ananya for one last time.He waited for her outside her office and when Ananya came out of her office,he ran towards her and Ananya was astonished to see him.She asked,"Mr Akash aap yaha?"Akash replied,"Ha vo main...main kal ja raha hu India waapas so maine socha ke main aapse aakhri baar mil lu...You know a last meet."When Ananya first saw Akash,she was having mixed feelings.It was not that she was not feeling good of Akash being around her but when he uttered the word last',she realized that something is emptying inside her and she was loosing something very precious.She asked,"Kal??"He nodded his head and she tried to smile and said,"Well...good for you.Iam happy aapko abhi ghar waapas jaana hi chahiye,puri family aapka intezaar kar rahi hogi."They remained silent for a couple of seconds and then Akash said,"Would you mind having a cup of coffee with me?One last time?Don't you worry main aapko khud ghar drop kar dunga."Ananya replied,"Ok...sure!!"She asked her driver to take the car home and Akash took Ananya with him to a restaurant.After reaching there,he ordered some snacks and coffee for the two and then said,"Uh...Mrs Ananya...I want to confess to you something..."She asked,"What?"He replied,"Well...I kinda...I kinda...like you.I mean...I really like you."Ananya looked at him with a jerk and then asked,"What?"Akash replied,"Main aapko pasand karta hu...I mean jis tarah se aapne akele apni beti ko paala hai...and aaj aap self dependent hai...You know it takes a lot of guts!!"Ananya said,"Main akeli nehi thi...I had my whole family."Akash replied,"Ya of course par you didn't have your husband."Ananya replied,"Ab sabki kismat mein sab kuch to nehi hota hai."Akash looked at her and asked,"Why didn't you get remarried?"Ananya was a bit uncomfortable and she replied,"Maine kaha na ke main..."He said,"You know...Mera manna hai ke...Jis aadmi ko aapke pyar ki kadar na ho uske liye zindagi bhar apne aapko,apno ko sazaa dena...I know aapki sister ke husband aapki beti se bohot pyar karte hai but you know...she still needs her father.Main manta hu vo apne father se nafrat karti hai and usme uski koi galti nehi hai par phir bhi kahi na kahi to usko bhi ye lagta hoga na ke Mr Mafatlal chahe usse jitna bhi pyar kare,still he is not her real father.Kahi na kahi dil hi dil mein vo bhi to apne real dad ko dhundhti hogi.Jab bhi vo Panchi aur Mr Mafatlal ko dekhti hogi usko bhi to kahi na kahi bura lagta hoga na."Ananya was so amazed with Akash's thinking because she knew Akash was so true about Paakhi and she exactly felt that way,though she never lets anyone understand this but Ananya could easily understand her feeling.Ananya replied,"I know...but she is too stubborn to explain aur main samjha bhi kya sakti hu."Akash said,"You know Mrs Ananya,mera kahi saalo pehle ek accident hua tha and main us accident ke baad bilkul 5 saal ke chote bachche jaisa ban gaya tha...matlab aisa meri daadi kehti hai kyuki jabse main thik hua hu,mujhe accident ke baad aur thik hone tak ke gap mein kuch yaad nehi hai aur us baat ko kareeb kareeb nau saal beet chuke hai and you know what,jabse meri memory waapas aayi hai na,har roz main ek bohot hi ajeeb sapna dekhta hu."Ananya was very curious and he said,"Mere sapne mein ek ajnabee,ek bohot hi mysterious larki hai...ha larki jo mera naam leti hai,mujhe bulaati hai and vo kisika bohot khayaal rakhti hai.Mujhe kisika chehra saaf saaf dikhaayi nehi deta,sab dhundhla hai,par ha uski aakhe..."He looked at her and said,"Chaukne waali baat hai ke uski aakhe bilkul...bilkul aapki tarah hai isiliye jab aapko maine pehli baar dekha,your eyes attracted me aur usse bhi zyaada chaukne waali baat ye hai ke...us larki ka naam bhi Ananya hai.Thats why I was shocked o hearing your name k eek saath itni similarities."Ananya's cup of coffee slipped from her hand on hearing the name.She apologized,"I...Iam...Iam so sorry,I'll pay for that."Akash asked,"Are you alright?"She nodded her head and then Akash said,"Mujhe aisa lagta hai ke...us larki ka mujhse bohot gehra rishta hai.Par main jisse bhi puchta hu koi mujhe kuch nehi bataata ke mere accident ke baad,kya hua tha mere saath.You know...you know thats why I feel so attracted to you and so..."He touched her hand and said,"So...connected to you."Ananya removed her hand since her hand was ice cold and she was very scared as she realized that Akash's memory had already started triggering to come out before him and she knows that of that happens,she will lose Akash forever.She immediately got up and said,"Mujhe chalna chahiye its late now!!"She was about to leave when she saw that it was raining heavily outside which she didn't even notice since she was so lost in Akash.The restaurant's manager informed that due to heavy rainfall some roads were blocked and among that road,one road leads to Ananya's and Akash's homes.Ananya cursed her luck and asked,"Oh God ab kya hoga?Paakhi ne to pura ghar utha lena hai apne sar par,ab main kya karu?"Akash replied,"Abhi to raat bhi ho chuki hai,I think we should search for rooms in hotels,kyuki abhi ye restaurant bhi bandh hone waala hai."Ananya had no other options left except to agree with him and so they went out to search for hotels.
Akash and Ananya boarded into a hotel after searching a lot as all the hotels were full.They went to the reception where they asked for two single rooms,but the receptionist apologized them for not having any single room.While Ananya was talking over phone with Natasha saying that she wouldn't be able to come home that night due to the blockage and asked her to explain that to Paakhi,Akash came and said to Ananya,"Mrs Ananya vo yaha single rooms nehi hai aaj raat double room hi share karna hoga."Ananya asked,"How can I stay with you?"Akash replied,"Ok then aap jaaiye main yaha lobby mein guzaar lunga."Ananya looked at Akash and found that he too was drenched in rain just like her.So she said,"Ok but you have to sleep in the couch."Akash agreed and then they went to the reception and the reception asked about their names and Akash said,"Mr Akash Saluja!"and Ananya replied,"Mrs Ananya Saluja!!"The receptionist looked at them and thought them to be couples then was wondering why they wanted separate rooms but still the card was given to them and they went to their room.After reaching their,Ananya was squeezing her hair to drain out the excess water in them and the saree which she was wearing was stuck on her body and since she was completely drenched her,she was total transparent.Akash opened his jacket and put it on the couch and just turned to looked at her when his eyes stucked at her perfect figure and she was looking extremely hot.He was having strange feelings for Ananya and this strange feelings,this mystery of his confused mind,lead him towards her very slowly.He walked towards her and stood very close to her.Ananya turned towards him with a jerk and he said,"Vo...vo...maine aapse ek baat chupayi hai...aur vo ye hai ke...ke..."He looked into her eyes and replied,"I have fallen in love with you...Mujhe nehi pata how,where and when butyes I have fallen in love with you."Only Ananya knew how much she wanted to hear that from Akash,she was having tears in her eyes of happiness but only she knew how she was able to control it.Ananya asked,"Ye aap kya keh rahe hai?"Akahs replied,"Main shaayad aapko ye baat kabhi bhi nehi bolta par pata nehi kaise...main khudko rok nehi paaya.Mujhe aapse pyar ho gaya hai Mrs Ananya and really I want to make you my Mrs Saluja.Main Paakhi ko bohot pyar karunga and I will be the best father for her,usko kabhi is baat ka ehsaas nehi hoga ke vo meri beti nehi hai."Ananya felt like killing herself because she knew she was his Mrs Saluja only and Paakhi...he was Paakhi's real father himself but she could not say this to him,just for his own safety.Akash said,"I know aap apne husband se pyar karti hai and I won't force you but I really love you and wanna spend rest of my life with you and Paakhi.Main koi mazaak nehi kar raha hu you can trust me,main aapko aapke husband ke tarah chor kar nehi jaaunga.I swear!!"He hugged Ananya and she was very emotional with that hug.She was desperate to hug him back but suddenly she remembered her limitations and she pushed away Akash and said,"No!!"She wanted to run away but Akash grabbed her hand and said,"Kyu??Maine tumse pyar kiya ye meri galti to nehi hai,ab mujhe tumse pyar ho gaya aur main nehi reh sakta hu tumhaare bina to isme main kya kar sakta hu?"Ananya said,"Leave me Akash!!"He grabbed her hand more tightly and then replied,"No you have to answer me today.Kyu bhaagti rehti ho tum hamesha mujhse?Jab bhi main tumhaare saamne aata hu tum kisi na kisi bahaane se bhaag jaati ho.Why?Aaj mujhe janna hai."Ananya fought to release her hand and grinned,"I said leave me Akash!!"Akash said,"Aaj tumhe bataana parega ke kya hai ye raaz tumhaare aur mere beech mein?You have to tell me!!"Ananya forcefully released her hand and then yelled,"Tumhaare liye Akash...Sirf tumhaare liye..."She ran out of her room and then while coming downstairs called Rohit to reach the hotel immediately no matter how.She reached downstairs upto the main lobby of the hotel and to her scare Akash too followed her.She said,"Aagey mat barna Akash!!I warn you!!"Everyone were staring at them.Akash said,"Listen Ananya please listen to me..."Ananya joined his hand and begged,"Please Akash leave me alone!!I don't want to mess up my life again.Iam very happy where Iam...Please just leave US and just leave me!!"By that time,Rohit somehow managed to reach the hotel.He called Ananya and said,"You know ye blockage torkar yaha aana kitna mushkil hai vo to achcha hua ke baarish ruk gayi."Ananya ran to him and hugged him and said,"Please le chalo mujhe yaah se Rohit please le chalo."Rohit's eyes fall on Akash who was standing all confused and shattered and Rohit understood something drastic might have happened and so without wasting any word,Rohit took Ananya away from there leaving Akash totally smashed from inside.
