Heyaaaaaaa..........🤗

Nwz...here's the next part for all of you...
Part-24:
The waves came and died away at the shore...each wave never to return back where it actually belonged---the sea...truly so, life was just the same....those who go away never come back and this feeling was killing Samrat each second he thought about it. Mayank took Samrat to the beach where the two used to spend alot of time. After a silence of two hours, Samrat finally spoke:"Log kehte hain jaane wale kabhi laut k nahi aate...par jaane wale apne saath kitna kuch le jaate hain....unki hasi jo kisi ki muskaan ho...unki sapne jo kisi ka armaan hoon...aur unki saansein jo kisi ki jaan ho...koi us k bina kaise jiye jis k liye wo jee raha tha?!Gunjan toh chali gayi par Samrat......?!" Mayank, who was sitting next to Samrat on the sand, placed a hand at his shoulder and gave him a sympathetic look. Samrat's face was so tired...tired of life...!!!He didn't want to live....and he could understand that completely....but then he knew exactly what he had to tell him. M:"Pata hai Samrat, college khatam hone k baad jab dad ki death hoyi toh main bhi jaise jeena bhool hi gaya tha. Bohat se log aate...dilaase dete....shayad is liye kyunki un k paas aur kuch dene ko tha hi nahi...lekin phir ek din maa ne mujhe kuch aisa diya jis se main phir se jee utha.." S:"Kia?" M:"Nazarya...." S:"Nazarya?" M:"Haan...jo chala gaya hai us ki nazar se duniya ko dekhne ka nazarya...mujhe yaad hai....maa ne mujhe kaha tha k dad hamesha se Sharma Enterprises ko ek bohat unche level pe dekhna chahte the....bas phir kia tha?Na main ne din dekhi na raat...zameen asmaan ek kar diya...aur aaj......."he didn't speak anymore because Sharma Enterprises did indeed have a good name today. S:"Toh?" M:"Toh ab sochna tumhein hai....tum chaho toh Gunjan k nazarye se dekh kar us k sapne poore kar sakte ho..." S:"Kia sapne?" M:"Pari..." Samrat looked at him in a little shock and then anger and turned his face away.. M:"Ye mat bhoolo Samrat k Pari ko le kar tumne Gunjan k saath kitne sapne dekhe the..." S:"Un sapno mein Gunjan bhi thi....ab jab wahi nahi hai toh ye sapne bhi nahi..." M:"Pata hai Samrat...Pari tumhare parents k saath rehti hai...Gunjan ki ye aakhri khwahish thi k Pari Ridhimma aur Nupur k saath rahe...ta k jo mamta Ridhimma ne Gunjan ko di thi wahi Pari ko bhi mile...aaj do gharaano ki ladaayi mein wo bachi phas gayi hai...zara socho Samrat....agar Gunjan aaj hoti toh usse ye dekh kar dukh nahi hota k us ki bachi kitni akeli hai?" Samrat had a tear in his eye...he complained:"Pari ko dekhta hoon toh...toh Gunjan k aakhri pal yaad aate hain..." M:"Us choti si bachi ko dekha hi kab hai tumne??Aaj agar dekhoge..toh uski aankho mein wahi chamak dikhegi jo Gunjan ki aankho mein thi...wahi muskaan...wahi masoomiyat....Gunjan ki parchai hai uski beti....Gunjan kaheen nahi gayi hai Samrat...wo toh yaheen hai....Pari k roop mein..." Samrat looked at him while tears were still dropping down his eyes.... --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"SAMRAT BHAIYA!!"
Suhaani almost screamed out of excitement. She was so glad to see her brother back. After she could manage the joy, she saw the other guest with her brother and wished him:"Kaise ho Mayank?"
Mayank smiled and said:"Theek hoon...tum?"
Suhaani:"Abhi tak toh theek thi...par ab...ab bohat khush hoon..."she gave a real smile and Samrat knew she really was happy to see him.
Samrat visited his family at times. Five years back, their lives were different. Samrat's dad had a job and they were just a middle-class family...this was one reason why Shashi Bhushan didn't want Samrat and Gunjan to get married. Life took a turn when Suhaani decided to start a business after her graduation. She graduated the same year as Samrat. She was lucky enough to find a good business partner in Adhiraj, who was now her fiance. In no time, the two youthful minds did wonders and here today!!!The family was settled in US. Mayank was successful in getting Samrat to US for no-one else but Pari!!Samrat had finally agreed..
Suhaani was the only one in the house who gave Pari true mother's love. Samrat's parents saw Pari as "Gunjan's daughter" than "their grand-daughter" and so the poor little innocent one had no-one but just her aunt who loved her dearly.
They went inside and received a cold welcome from Mr and Mrs.Shergill. Though they were glad to see their son back, they didn't seem to be quite pleased with the reason of his arrival. Samrat looked around the house here and there to get a sight of Pari. Mayank gestured Suhaani who then took Samrat upstairs to Pari's room.
They opened the door silently and all Samrat heard was just an innocent voice reading her rhymes:"Johny Johny...yesshhh Papa...eating sugar...."the voice got silent when she saw her aunt there:"Suhaani bua...??Kia hoa?"
She came out of her bed giving questioning looks to Samrat who only stared at her...
P:"Ye...ye kaun hai?"she lifted her glasses up by adjusting her left-side glass stick just the way Gunjan used to do..."
Samrat bent down with tears helplessly flooding his eyes:"Papa..."
Suhaani gave a laugh of happiness. And Mayank who was looking all this was more than happy..
P:"Papa?Pari k papa?Samrat papa?"
Samrat smiled:"Haan...Pari k papa...Samrat papa..."
Pari spread her little arms to give her dad a hug. She always longed to see her parents. In her nursery, she used to see parents coming for their children but never her mother...never her father...the 5year old was so full of happiness to finally have her father....and mother...or atleast so she thought. When she seperated from her dad after a warm hug, she walked innocently to see if her mom was standing outside the room..she called in her innocent voice:"Mamma...mamma..."
There were tears in Suhaani's eyes and Samrat felt sorry too. His daughter was missing her mom..she was lonely...and he hated himself for making her so lonely...
When Pari couldn't see her mom, she turned back to her dad and said:"Papa...mamma kaha??un ko le k aao....!!"
When Samrat didn't reply she said:"Batao na....mamma kahan?"
Samrat walked to his daughter, bent down, took her little hands in his and placing her hand near her heart said:"Mamma yahan..."
Pari:"Kia?Yahaaannnn??Kia?kaise?"
S:"Abhi mamma yahan hain...hamesha yaheen hogi....dil mein...hai na?ab batao...mamma kahan?"
Pari repeated:"Dil mein...."though she still was confused about it...she still wanted her mom, but maybe Samrat thought she was too young to tell her all about it and he felt time would tell her in a better way than he would.
