BROKEN PATH-

CHAPTER 4
"Ruhi baccha...itni naraz ho ki abb meri tarah dekhogi bhi nhi.." taani said while trying to turn her face.
"accha... pure four days k baad apko meli yaad aayi...katti katti katti...jao nai kalti aapse baat" ruhi cutely turns her face to other side.
"accha I am sorry na.. see mene kaan bhi pakad liye..Please.. maan jao na.."
"hmm.. sirf kaan pakardne se kaam nhi chalega..sit-ups krne padenge..Punishment!!!! u know"
taani smiled at her cute antics. "OK baba..here I go.. 1..2..3..4..5.."
"Di enough.. I was just kidding.. now give me teddy bear vala hug" ruhi opened her small arms but wide enough for taani..
Taani too reciprocated hug. " Ruhi.. look what I got for you.." taani said while broking the hug
"WOW .. BARBIE DOLL...it's very pretty..thank you di... I LOVE YOU"
Annie mam, the care taker of sunshine orphanage home was looking at the duo and smiling at their bonding. " ruhi bilkul taani ki tarah hai..ruhi me mujhe taani ka bachpan nazar aata hai..bilkul vahi harkate..vahi smile..vahi anger..vahi stubbornness..bilkul aise hi thi meri taani..." annie mam thought to heself "taani se jyada ruhi ko koi pyar kar hi nhi sakta.. aaj ruhi ussi ki vajah se zinda hai varna uss din toh...
"annie mam...annie mam..plzz jaldi aaiye bahar.. MAM..." taani was shouting her lungs out.
"Taani..kya hua.. is everything all right beta..??
"mam..see.. ye bacchi yahan bahar..isko koi yahan gate pr chhord kr chala gya..her body is too cold...she is not even crying...plz mam" taani was shaken by what just happened
"taani relax... let her take to the hospital"
taani was pacing right and left. She was so tensed, she barely spoke a single word.
"doctor.. how is she..?" taani asked to the doctor who just came out of the OT.
"relax..your daughter is now fine..shyad cold ki vaja h se.."
"thank god.. can I see her.."
"yeah sure"
taani went inside and saw her sleeping peacefully in cradle. "thank god your safe..meri toh jaan hi nikal gayi thi"
"taani.." annie mam went inside and asked taani "ye sub..or ye bacchi..tell me everything"
"mam me orphanage home aa rhi thi tabhi I saw her at the entrance gate lying in the cradle. I took her in my arms and then I noticed that her body was too cold and..."
"and u called me..i understand taani..don't worry my child. We will take care of her. After all she is the new member of our orphanage home" annie mam said
taani was confused by her words "New member.. me samjhi nhi mam"
"taani as you told earlier you found her in the cradle alone"
"yeah ma'm"
"means her family member or someone else has left her and that too at the entrance of orphanage home. Koi aisa tabhi krta hai jub..."
"jub usse apne baccho ki fikr nahi hoti..vo baby burden bann jaata hai..ya phir jub vo unse nafrat karte hai"
taani complete the unspoken sentence of annie mam.
"taani... beta jaruri nahi hai ki..."
"mam plz..don't defend them..apni bacchi ko iss tarah chord kr chale jana.. how disgusting"
Annie mam looked at taani and thought to herself.. "I know my child why you are saying so.. 21 saal pahle tumahare sath bhi yahi hua than na.. but taani kyi baar mazbooriyan insaan ko uski sabse keemti cheezein chordne par mazboor kr deti hai"
"miss taani...now you can take her home..and take care of your daughter" doctor said to taani after the examine the baby.
"Doctor she is not my daughter" informed taani
"ohhh I am sorry.. just collect the discharge paper from the reception and take care of her."
"Di... neha di kyu nahi aayi mujhse milne" ruhi's voice took annie mam out of her trance.
"baccha... neha di k office me aaj party hai..toh vo vahi gyi hai..or mai yahan aa gyi.."
"Ruhi... it's quite late beta..go to your room and sleep." Annie mam said to ruhi in very stern voice.
"but mam taani di abhi toh aayi hai..me thordi der baad jau...please" ruhi pleaded to her.
"No ruhi..go now" annie mam ordered in loud voice which scared the poor soul and she ran to her room.
"taani you too should leave..it very late"
"Annie mam!!!! aap kyu kar rhe ho aisa?" asking asked in teary voice.
"Taaki tum dono ko ek dusre k bine rehne ki aadat pad jaaye"
Annie mam saw her leaving the place. She mentally cursed herself for hurting her again. "mujhe maaf kardo taani..me ye tum dono k liye hi kar rahi hu.. ruhi ka jana fixed hai.. tumhe uske bina rehne ki aadat dalni hogi.. and trust me ye ruhi ke better future k liye hai..

ding donggg "taani...taaniii" neha shouted
"taani itna time lagta hai gate kholne me.." neha bombarded her as soon as she opened the door . "u know taani party me itna mazaa aaya or Vicky.." suddenly she noticed something "taani your crying..kya hua.."
finally taani broke out.. she couldn't hold her tears back. She hugged neha " neha.. ruhi..annie mam mujhe usse milne se... neha.."
"shhh..taani relax..everything would be fine"
Neha takes her to the bedroom and make her sleep on the bed.. "bagwaan ji why you are doing this?? Kyu ap inn dono ko alag kar rhe ho??plz don't make taani suffer like this..."neha prayed to god for taani's well being.
NEXT MORNING
"what's wrong with this place..why everyone is so scattered..hey bagwaan.. ho kya rha hai yahan par?"
taani wondered after seeing everyone in the office running here and there.
"taani.. aa gayi tum..taani u know what..REY is coming... Quickly arrange a car for him..his flight will land at 12:30..ohh shit..its already 10:00..taani" jaanki was too excited
"Ma'm relex.. I will arrange everything" taani assured her.
"Ma'm I have arranged car for reyansh and here is mehta's file too."
"taani can you do me a favour.. kya rey ko pick krne k liye tum jaa sakti ho."
"But Ma'm ma.. how can I go??"
"Haan taani..me khud jaa rhi thi but this meeting..please taani"
"Sure Ma'm "
"taani its 11:00 now..tum abhi nikal jaao.."
"okay mam.." and taani left the office along with driver and signboard which displays...
"Yes mam.. I have reached the airport" taani informed jaanki.
"Nahi ma'm.. vo abhi tak nahi aaye hai... Yeah I have that sign board...sure mam..unke aate hi me apko inform kar dungi"
Taani was irritated now..firstly her boss who was calling after every five minuts to ask about her son and there her London returned son was nowhere to seen..
"Ma'm Reyansh abhi tak nahi aaye hai..." Taani blurted out without even looking at the caller name.
"WHAT..." Taani frozed for a moment.
