The Phonix (Beyhadh FF) Ch20 - p 7

The sun's rays came through the window into the small flat in Mumbai. The fair skin of the younger man made his clean shaven face look better. He wore striped shorts... and that was it. His body ripped as he moved in his sleep showing the muscles that had been worked upon for the past years. Unfortunately this habit of wearing shorts alone had also creeped into his system. Opening his eyes he rubbed it putting on his glasses, walking out on the small space they called dinning and kitchen area, "Maa coffee!

"Brush kiya kya? Asked the lady dressed in a beautiful self printed blue sari her long hair left open and wet. The half sleeves dark blue blouse set her apart from the general simplicity of the home despite her efforts to blend in. "Janvi ma...

"Janvi ma kal meri dyan boss ne jaan leliya kaam karvakar. Coffee dhijiye. Right? The lady laughed handing the man a dark green mug of coffee picking her own. They walked up to the small dhiwaan in the hall and sat down. She on the dhiwaan and he at her feet leaning as she gently ran her hand through his hair - an everyday routine now. "Aise kya hai is kaam main ke tum chodna nahi cahathe ho?

"Paison ke sivaa? Kaam katin bhi hai aur nashili bhi. Upar se boss kudh ek eye candy hai. She hit his head for the words he used, "Ayaan tumhari eye candy ko patha hai kya yeah saari baatein?

"Saari team usae candy hee bulathe hai. he laughed, "Aur vo kuch nahi bolti?

"Uski theen saal ki beti bhi use aise hi bulathi hai. Janvi laughed her big eyes and thin lips breaking into an open laugh. Something she had not enjoyed for the longest of time. "Uski teen saal ki beti hai? Phir bhi ithne saare ladke ko apni ungli main nachathi hai. Bahoth aachi ladki hai kya?

"Haan vo hai aisi hi hai. Breakfast main kya bana rahi ho? he asked changeing the subject, "Poha, bread halva, aadhrath ki chutny aur mixed fruit juice. Lekin tum subject hamesha change kyun karthe ho jaab bhi uss ladki ke baare main baath aathi hai.

"Kyunki bolne ke liye kuch nahi hai. he sighed, Janvi pushed the subject, "Tum iss ladki ke saath lag bag teen saal kaam kar rahe ho. Jismein saath mahenon se zyadha ghar par se kaam kiya. Phir ek meeting ke baath office par kaam karne lage ho?

"Hum sabse duss guna zyadha vo kaam karthi hai. Upar se lunch bana kar dethi hai. Chai aur coffee laa javab hai. Vo bhi fresh aur garam, kaane ke baath hi kaam kar sakthe hai. Upar se kaafi flexible time bhi isi liye hum vaha par kaam karthe hai. rolling her eyes Janvi asked, "Yeah tho batha, yeah office hai kahan?

"Uski gar main. Humare liye kaafi comfortable hai. Global team hai, emergency ki problems tho nahi hai. Ithna aacha set of projects main kaam karna padega. Variety, seekne ke liye bhi kaafi zyadha hai. he aded, picking up their empty coffees and washing them in the sink as Janvi began chopping up ginger for chutney. "Aab jai aur brush karo, main breakfast bana dethi hoon. Arjun ko bhi uta dena!

"Teek hai ma. No matter how much she controlled few things always reminded her of Maya, the girl she had given birth to but never raised. Still she missed her, there was no question of where did I go wrong. The quisitons was why did she go wrong? Now nothing could be done. She had failed with her own, now she was helping those who had been destroyed because of her mistakes. A part of her wished she never loved Ashwin a part of her wished she never got into drinks. "Aunty coffee?

The guy was neat as they come. Even for sleeping he wore a gray tshirt and black track pants. His hair stood out in every direction but it was his eyes that caught the attention. Sad and swollen from crying... silence filling them. "Coffee banadhiya gharam piilo. Kya bana rahe ho?

"Coffee piyo aur bathao lunch main rajma chaval chahiye yaa rajma aur roti? after a minute of thinking he finally answered, "Rajma chaval, dahi hai tho raitha bhi banadhiyega. Bhoondhi hai tho bhoondhi aur cucumber agar nahi hai tho cucumber raitha aur chips chalega.

"Bhoondhi hai, main tumhare liye raitha bana dethi hoon. she replied as Arjun began drinking coffee as she began statuting ginger and yellow daal for chutny. As the aroma rose into the small kitchen Arjun grabbed an onion for poha as Janvi worked through the bread. The chopping of fruits too was silent, like always, while the milk began cooling. "Aaj main aur Suman bahar jaa rahe hai.

"Dinner ghar pe ya bahar? he asked, "Ghar par, aajayenge hum usse pehele.

"Teek hai. Isse liye aaj ithna simple menu aaj? Aap ko bahar jaana tha? he asked, "Haan vo thoda sa shopping karne ke baare main soch rahe the.

"Aap ke acount main aur paisa daal doon ya phir credit card isthimal karenge? Janvi sighed knowing that recently all he ever seemed worthy of was paying everyone's bills and earning money to actually pay up for all the bills. "Paise hai beta humne check kiya yaadh hai do din pehele, sirf sabsi kaareedhe the, zyadha se zyadha shopping tum online karke dethe hoo jo banvana hai ussi ki main ingreedents lekar aathi hoon. Therefore money is there and we will be using it, debit card. All right?

"Agar aap ko chahiye tho muje call kijiye main aajaunga. he added trying to make himself useful, "Tum aaram se office jao agar kuch chahiye hum tume call kardenge.

"BHAI - MA aap logon ne sweet ko shuru nahi kiya hai na? Ayan asked running back walking in again this time dressed in black jeans and a light blue informal shirt. His lightweight eye-glasses being wiped clean as his hair continued to be wet from the shower, "Nahi kiya tumhare siva koi kar bhi na saktha. Aao banadho aur office ke liye pack kardho.

"Kaisi office hai yeah - kaam bhi, kaana bhi? Uupar se sweets tum hamesha leekar jathe ho. Ayan shrugged before starting to work on the bread halva with precision and caution. First diluting the bread, steaming it and adding sugar and stirring it firmly for a few minutes. After a point when the sweet was nice and brown thanks to the milk as an aroma began raising in the home. Finally stating some pistachios, cashews, almonds and raisins in gee separately before adding it to the sweet touching it off with some safrons too. "Aur isse kehethe hai bread halwa.

A flash of pain shot across Janvi's face as an old memory rang through her mind, a seven year old with a plate in hand filled with the simple food she could barely make. The cook had refused to come, she had to take care of the fractured mother all alone. "Aur isse kehethe hai aachi si toast and boiled eggs. Sided with banana-chocolate milkshake.

Janvi... Meherothra. The woman who had become a surrogate mother to Ayan and Arjun Sharma. A surrogate-best friend to Suman Mathru and the surrogate other-mum of Saanj and Shub Mathur. A woman with too manny layers...

Arjun Shrarma... A man with the charm but now a lonely soul. The CEO of Fashion in the City, who took it from one level to the next. It also turned him into an earning machine... what runs his life is now far away from him...

A flash of pain shot across Janvi's face as an old memory rang through her mind, a seven year old with a plate in hand filled with the simple food she could barely 9make. The cook had refused to come, she had to take care of the fractured mother all alone. "Aur isse kehethe hai aachi si toast and boiled eggs. Sided with banana-chocolate milkshake.

Shaking off the memory she packed up the rest of the food in serving bowls moving towards the Mathur house for breakfast were fresh roasted potatoes and warm milk. The house was neat and clean, certainly bigger than the Sharma house. It was also set with a proper dining area and the seating was created for the purpose of chatting away. Unlike Sharma house the colour scheme was also more vibrant. There was only a statue of a Ganapathy Bappa with a mud diya lit in front of it. Agarbatti smell came wafting through the room... It was a beautiful one. "Suman, Shub shall we eat?

"Saanj ko aane dijiye na Aunty. a slightly hefty boy smiled at her dressed in cream trousers and a dark green t-shirt.

"Aab thak nahi lauti? Janvi asked turning to the other skinny woman in the room who was dressed in a simple yet dull blue chudidar. Her eyes lacking a smile that was usually shining across her eyes. Shub was the one to answer, "Main khaana lekar gaya, uuse kaane se maana kar diya. Ghar aane se bhi mana kar dhiya.

"Main baath kartha hoon. Walking out Arjun went straight to the terrace knowing that is where she was... Saanj. The company lawyer, his team member, his childhood friend, the rock of his life... His Duskey!

The tears told him most of the story. Her eyes no longer shone with love but her physical structure continued to be the same. Thin... Little long but not tall. She was still in the same outfit she wore last night at his insistence. A pale yellow full length dress similar to an Egyptian style close neck dect with dark pink flowers. A similar pattern following on the waist and the hem. The thick hair had been tied up in a messy bun. The beautiful leaf and rose pattern earrings she wore the previous day still there. So were the matching single bangle she wore. The stunningly feminine watch too. Never had she looked more feminine in his eyes. It hurt him more now than ever - no they could never let them win. Especially since she was sitting on the roof, kees to her chin and arms hugging her legs. The black heals she had wore was thrown randomly across the floor. "Duskey.

"Chale jaao duffer muje baath karne ke maan nahi hai. she snapped, he sighed and repeated, "Duskey.

"I hate you Arjun. Nikal jao meri zindhagi se. she snapped harshly, he simply sat next behind her gently rubbing her back before finally speaking. "Ghar aathi hoon sar dharh ke wajai se aur dekne ko kya miltha hai? Unlogon ke liye puja raka ja raha tha. Mere ghar par, jab maine kaha unke naam bhi nahi lena hai. Phir bhi unlogon ne uske liye puja rake the. Jin logon ke wajai se ithna saara gadhbad hui thi unke liye ek puja raki jaa rahi thi.

"Dusky issi liye hum unlogon ko jeethne nahi de sakthe. the grip was firm enough to hurt but she did not push him away, it was more for him than her. That much she knew, "Unlogon ne humare saath jo kiya use pyar ke naam se ya aproval ke naam se nahi dala ja saktha. Filaal jakar brakefast karthe phir office jaakar saab ke baand aja the hai teek hai.

"Lekin main tumhare siva kissi see baath nahi karungi. he smiled looseing the grip, "Done deal lekin brakefast tho kare? Bhook ke wajai se chuke daudne lage hai peet main.

"Coffee nahi piya kya? she asked, a smile struck across his face, "Piya, lekin bhir bhi bhook lagi hai. Ithna lamba din bhi hai aaj breakfast tho chahiye.

Indeed the previous day was that terrible. The party was scheduled as per the months of the planning and had went ahead based on it too. So did Suman Mathur, a small athma shanthi puja for her husband and best friend. Despite everything the fact continued to remain the same, they were her husband, the love of her life and her best friend - the woman who had seen her through the biggest fights of life. She had to do this for her more than them. She even changed out of the cream chudidar she wore to a white sari as expected. Even the dress would have given a hint to them about what was going on! So despite the muhaurath not being right she begged the pandit for the puja so it could at least be done. As soon as Saanj was out the door she removed the hidden photos of a chubby woman with open hair dressed in a chudidar. Her large eyes and smile filled with love! Another was a man with flattened cheeks and watery eyes but a loving smile dressed in a simple white shirt. Setting it up in the hall she set the lamps on either side keeping a simple kheer she had made in front of the pictures. The only home made dish, It was their favorite - she remembered how she joked, "Tum donon kheer-bai-behen ho. Baaki bai behenon ko raki baand thi hai lekin yahan yeah kheer baand kar rakthi hai.

The pandit came with some children behind him. "Yeah paas ke aanadh bache hai. Inko aap kaana kila sakthe hai.

The children repeated a prayer before hungrily grabbing the food provided for them in simple leaf plates and leaf cups. It was not much, just fruits, puri, channa and the kheer they loved. All she could do was feed these children to their fill and give them tokens of stationery packs to help them with their education. Even though she had Janvi, Shub and Ayan helping her out with everything it made her feel very alone at the moment without Arjun and Saanj. Both had gone out for the party dect up in those fine clothes. All dressed in similar white... her eyes though kept trailing on Ayan. The person who funded everything with a blink of the eye. He had brought everything even the ingredients from somewhere in right proportions and amount. Had she used available Saanj or Arjun would have got suspicious. That was just for the keer alone... the rest of the food and fruits had arived in gun time. So had leaf vessels and the pandit who understood the situation. Within herself she thought, "Iss ladka ko yeah saab kaise patha tha? Ithni kaam waqth par kiya kaise yeah saab?

Along with the puja items was an envelope kept. It also had a letter inside it, the letter found in their post-box. A letter she now knew by-heart.

"I understand you have learned everything that happened. Please don't keep it in mind. Please move on. Allow their efforts to bare fruit. If that does not happen for now at least do a little aathma shanthi puja for them. I am not talking about one that involves fier but one were the fires of hunger within innocents are cooled. Even if it is just for the day. - Maya Meherotha.

The words touched Suman's heart but the practical difficulties of making everything burned her inside. Ayan solved it by saying, "Aap kheer bana dijiye aur photos ko set kar dijiye diya ke baathi aur theel se lekar baaki saab ka khal main rak lunga.

All of this had happened the very morning, "Vo kaun hai jisko mere dil ka baath patha tha?

Yet they did not have any time to think about anything, all they could do is go ahead with the puja. Unfortunately despite every effort to finish up and clean it was not possible. Even though she left only around six Saanj walked back inside unexpectedly at eight-thirty while everyone was in the middle of clearing up. (more like getting rid of the evidence) The fire and water mixed in her eyes at the sight of the photos. The words hurt everyone like thorns but no one could say or do anything...

"KITHNI BAAR SAMJADOON UNDHONON KA NAAM IS GHAR PAR MAATH LIYA KARO. VO MUJSE BHI CHOTI THI... ARJUN KI BIWI THI JAB YEAH SAAB KUCH HUA. PHIR BHI AAP LOOG UN DOHON KE SIDE KAISE LEE SAKTHE HAI?" Saanj shouted throwing the vais in her hand hitting the photo of Prem Mathur and Vandhana Sharma which was set for a puja. Arjun stepped forward and tightly hugged her from behind as she screamed his share of pain too. No one dared to breath a word... no one dared to mention the letter which had induced the whole situation. How could they?

Their betrayal was unforgivable. Their actions were hurtful. They had crossed all limits despite always saying, but the ones hurt most was Saanj and Arjun. On one side, Arjun had falling out of love with Maya and in love with Saanj but the base of those emotions being manipulation made both unrealistic. It just did not seem to fit into his heart. Every time he hugged his duskey it did not last long. They felt like something was burning them.

"Yeah paap hai duffer. Those were the words she whispered as she broke down every night in his arms but who else would they turn to for comfort. The one they wanted to hug and cry was nowhere to be found. Those were the words she spoke again walking into the house, Suman and Janvi knew that once again Saanj had hugged Arjun and cried. They knew she still loved him deep down. Yet no one said anything as they sat down for breakfast quietly setting the food in front of them. It was Ayan who decided to crack the ice, quickly, "Bhai aaj na main raath ghar nahi aapaunga.

"Kyun? Koi girlfriend mil gayi kya? Arjun demanded, he did not like it when Ayan stayed out late, "Nahi. Meri boss ki beti ke saath aaj program hai. Issi liye boss ne dinner ka invitation bhi dediya, aur dinner ka mathlab hai drinks so order bhi diya ke raath vahi par raath bithatun.

"Kithne login ko? Ayaan smiled at his response, "Sirf main aur ek aur ladka. Baaki busy hai.

"Kaisi program? he shot back, "Kaise program, mathlab? Bass ek program hai jismain humloog hang out karenge. Guunmeinge, bahar ka khaana kayenge, you know the words. Vaise hi hum bachpan main karthe the.

"Aur tumhari boss aur apni beti nahi karsakte hai kyunki? he sighed, "Kyunki uski apni koi bachpan nahi thi. I am going to be helping her out.

"What about the the other guy? Saanj demanded, Aayan laughed, "Vo kya karega?

"Boss ki beti ko gumayega. replied an angry Arjun, Aayan winked at Janvi and Suman, "Aare beti meri bhi hai.

"KYA! came the reaction from everyone, "Mathlab beti jaisi hai. Actually vo kya hai na, uski ma-baap nahi hai. Apni ma ki dosth ke saath hai, bahoth pyari bachi hai. Jithna hosakta hai uthna hum saab uske apni pitha ke kaami mehesuus nahi hone dethe.

Arjun and Saanj looked at each other before continuing the conversation. "All right. Photos keench lena.

Ayaan nodded, leaving the table. Soon he was driving towards the place he worked. A sea-green backpack over his shoulder. More like the place where his boss lived. The area was actually a township with classy villas' and bought of by people based on how much they could. The wall was large, covered by a black sliding gate, fit in with a security lock and camera. The silver suzuki hayate EP he drove - sliding to a stop pressing the bell, a child's voice came over, "Who is it?

Pushing the bell he pulled off his helmet, he replied, "Your ride to school. Bahaar aayie Ms. Ivya Rakshi Meherothra.

The door opened and a little girl walked out dressed in a baby pink dress with an umbrella cut, printed with red and dark pink flowers. A red ribbon around the waist, her long black hair was set neatly with a pink clip. Her large toe like eyes lit with happiness against the fair complexion, she wore simple white sandals and was the sight which made Aayan smile. Though a doubt was raised, as a girl dressed in a small light green pyjama shorts with dark red and black bird prints all over it. A short sleeved black t shirt, her hair clipped up slightly showing a light glow on her brownish hair, completely lacking makeup except for some glittery ebony nailpolish. Carrying a sky blue elephant backpack smiling, "Good morning Maya.

Suman Mathur, Sanjn's mother and the woman who is now trying to act as a support for Saanj and Arjun to make up for what happened to Maya.

Saanj Mahtur (Sharma) Arjun's legal wife and friend for a long time. Current legal head for fashion in the city...

Ivya Rakshi Meherothra - Maya's adopted daughter. She loves her greatly and currently the only light of her life. (Can not find a person to play for her)

Arjun's happiness knew no bounds, rushing into Saanj's office he grabbed the shocked girl twirling her around happily. "DUSKEY! USNE MUJE EK EMAIL BEJI HAI. VO EK PROJECT MAIN HUMARE SAATH COLLABORATE KARNA CHAHATHI HAI.

The woman who was a minute ago typing away on her laptop, jumped up instantly. "Duffer, are you sure? Tum Maya ke baare main baath kar rahi ho na? Are you sure? Vo hamari Maya hai na?

"Haan duskey hamari Maya hai, kithni Maya Meherothra's ko jaanthe ho tum? he asked picking her up and spinning her around happily. The full length yellow skirt with the large brown tweeted prints all over it. Along with it she wore a brown short sleeved formal shirt. She was nothing like the poor girl who looked all through her closet to find a dress for a dinner... neither was he. His cream slacks were topped of by a olive green shirt and a cream vest. "Vo aayegi usne aabi aabi ek email beji hai. Dek!

Happily he opened the email showing it to Saanj. It was a simple one but efficient.

CEO Home Style

After reading the letter Saaj sat down with a thud. It was everything she expected of Maya - professional, cold and also time bound. She checked the watch to see the time, "Duffer tume email kaab mila?

"Maine aabhi aabhi dheka kyun? Saanj pointed to the sent time, "Paanch minute, timer laga.

Arjun did and exactly when it went out his phone's light beeped showing a new message. "Pado zoor se.

"Respected sir,

"Duffer vo ithni formality use karthi hai. Kya vo kudh kaam karne aayegi? Arjun smiled happily answering, "Aagar nahi aathi tho koi na koi bahane se uski paas chalunga. Tu baas dhekthe rehena Maya ki phir se mujse ishq hojayega. Tu details dhek main Bappa ko thanks bolne jaaraha hoon.

Watching as he literally hopped away, Saanj asked unsure of how to handle the situation. Life had become a thapasya do him... Earnings, investing, saving and even setting aside an amount every month. When quistioned he answered, "Main Maya ki di hui saari property ka financial value dhena chahatha hoon interest ke saath, vo bhi apni kamayi se multiply karne ke baadh.

Personally it still hurt her to see the love of her life still pining away for her. What hurt her more was that her father and Vandhana aunty made so many terrible efforts to get Arjun to be her's. Step one was to ensure he hates Maya by triggering her paranoia. Now they were the ones with a broken heart and frustration! He had earned everything and more, she was by his side as legal advice and the shoulder to cry on. The partner he worked with and his wife to the world. The woman who attended parties with him and tea parties for him but she was always going to be just a friend. The friend who stood by each other... Sighing she opened the detailed write up going through it before pointing only two or three clarifications before forwarding it to Arjun. Just then a knock came at the door, "Come in!

"Saanj hum vapas Sharma mansion shift hone ke liye thiyar hai? Smiling at her mother who was back in her black trousers with the bright green top with the black and green scarf. "Haan Suman aaj sham seedha Sharma mansion.

"Good maine aur Janvi ne bachon ke liye ithna shopping kiya. Principal bahoth kush the tum donon se thanks bathaye. Saanj after listening to the whole thing hummed an hmm making her mother finally look at her. "Saanj, kya hua?

"Kuch nahi Suman, bas karaab din. Ek project hai, aur Maya ne contact kiya usse hissa lene ke liye. Arjun kaafi exited hai. she added frustrated, "Beta I am so sorry.

Suman hugged Saanj allowing her to draw energy from it. "Tum thiyar ho kya? Usse aaj thak tumne ek baar bhi nahi dhkea aur achanak kaam karna?

"Nahi ma, muje yeaah karna hoga. Meri paas kitha kuch tha, haan paise nahi tha lekin dosth the, parivaar ka support tha aur ek bhai lekin ek rishtha ke liye main saab se baag gayi. Haan dill tuut chuki thi lekin Arjun ne mere dosth rehena nahi choda. Kaayi baar apni biwi ko chodkar mere paas aatha tha kyunki maine bulaya. Ek baar gussa hua tha mujse aur vo bhi kyunki apni bacha kone ke vajay se, aur maine kya kiya usse aur saab ko chod kar baag gayi. Issi liye Vandhana aunty aur papa Maya se naaraz hokar uski eklauthi kushi cheene ki koshish kiya. Aur aab bhi tum mere baare main soch rahe ho?

"Tum teek keherahi ho. Humko Arjun aur Saanj se kaam aur Maya par zyadha focus karni chahiye. Kyunki vo buri nahi balki buri banadhi gayi thi humare pyare Vandhana aur Prem ke vajai se. Issi liye hum saab usse bahoth pyar dhenge aur convince karenge ki Arjun ko apnale. Kush?

"Bahoth. Dhek yeah mere liye bahoth zaruri hai vo kya ha na main humesha Maya aur uski kushiyon ke beech thi. Aab bas saab teek karna hai muje. Suman kissed Saajn's forehead gently before leaving the room. Going out of the door searching for Arjun. She found him in the basement studio' which was now Maya's sanctuary. Her photos all over the place, Arjun twirling around the chair happily, "Aunty? Aap yahaan?

"Haan aabhi aabhi Saanj ne muje bathaya best of luck. she added, "Yes thank you, bas aap ki zarurath hai madhath ke liye bhi aur emotional support ke liye bhi. he added biteing his lips, touching his face gently she smieled, "Main bhi tumhari ma huun, aur main tumhari madhath karne ke liye thiyaar huun. Lekin dhek dheere dheere karna, Maya ko bahoth chot lagi hai aur puri zindagi akeli thi. Upar se tumne dhonon ne uski barosa thoda hai, vo barosa jo usne kisi ko bhi nahi dhiya. Jithna par hai uthna waqth aur space bhi dhena. Teek hai?

Hugging her tightly he smiled, "Thank you. Aare aap logon ka shopping kaisi thi?

"Bahoth aachi, aaj seedhe Sharma mansion aajana. Aur kaana khalena. she added patting his cheek. Food was the last thing on Arjun's mind all he wanted was to get the chance to meet Maya again. When his phone beeped eagerlly he looked at it hoping to see something from Maya. "Saanj ka email? Thank you duskey mere kaam karne ke liye. Meeting ka request agle hafthe?

Rushing back up he demanded, "Meeting agle hafthey kyun vo bhi Friday, dinner ke liye?

"Taki uske koi aur kaam ki bahane tumse baagne ki chance nahi milegi. Aru jahaan par maine book kiya na vahaan par deed saari courses hai aur dheer se kaana lathe hai. Tume apni jaan ke saath deed saara waqth milega. smileing he hugged her tightly, "Thank you duskey, tuje patha nahi main kithna miss kiya use. Jaab main use miltha huun na saab kuch perfect kardhunga. Tu bas dhekthe rehena.

Saanj's smiled her fake smile hiding the pain behind it. She knew everything was destroyed when they accidentally played the pendrive with the horrors Maya had to face. She had wondered how it would have been had she not bought the exact same pendrive as her father. She also wondered was it a coincidence or was it part of the greater design? The bird getting killed in their wedding night, in their room! Arjun hunting for a pendrive with their memories in it to chear Saanj up the next day and most importantly finding the wrong one.

Picking the photo on her desk with the wedding photo of her and Arjun she sighed, "Kab thak duffer? Kab thak iss juti shadhi ko shadhi banakar rakenge? Maana ke investment scam tho thi humari shadhi lekin aab bhi divorce kyun nahi dhethe ho muje? Humne kyun Maya ko mahinon thak vahi par raka thaki humko paise mil sakti hai. Kyun kar rahe ho aise? Hum saab hai tumhare saath usko apni zindagi main vapas laane ke liye. Aur main yeah saab karunga thaki jo paap mere vajay se hua vo dhuljayega lekin tumse pyar karna kaise choduun?

Finally she allowed her self to sob. The painful sob for the way her life had given her a love - only to keep pulling it away. The way she ended up betraying a girl who trusted her. The girl who made her an only friend... the girl who was currently on her way to school to pick up her three year old daughter with Samay. "Candy. Samy. Candy ma'am ne aaj muje ek star dhiya. Dheko.

"That's like my smarty pants. Thank you ma'am. I will see you tomorrow. she added, "So Ivya beta aap ka lunch thiyar hai. Mathlab aap kaana ka kar seedhe so sakte hai lekin thab thak jaagne ki koshih kar sakte ho?

"Ok Candy. Candy gaadi kahaan hai? she looked around till she found the dull olive green, wrangler unlimited convertible with the top down. "Goodie, muje bahoth buuk lagi hai.

"Come on ups to daisy. Samay grabbed the little girl placing her on Maya's lap. The shorts were replaced by black jeans. Over the black sleeveless was a light peach lace vest which reached down to her knees. The button ups set on her waist making her look beautiful. It made him look down at his own black jeans and the light blue tshirt topped of with the light blue and dark blue checked shirt seem pale. When ever she was near he felt that he was nothing compared to her... Especially as she interacted with the little girl with gusto, "Aur kya kya sikaya ma'am ne?

"Story boli thi. Ek Leo Lion ke baare main. Ivya continued, Maya repeated, "Oh tumne aaj Leo Lion ke kahani suni? How nice.

"Candy tumko bhi aachi lagthi hai vo kahani? the little girl asked. The smile faded for a second as the memory of that very book being burned by Ashwin came in front of her eyes. Samay who noticed it steared the conversation towards him, "Actually sirf candy ko nahi bacha Sammy ko bhi pasandh tha vo kahani. Humko ithna pasandh tha ke aap ko vo har rooz sulane ke liye padthe. Phir aur zyadha books dhiya gaya tha aur aap ne uss book ko pure thara paad dhiya.
