Hello Buddies.

Thank you so much for all the comments and appreciation.

As per the promise I am here with the update.

Sorry for any mistakes.

PART - 18

Aisha called Sameer and inform him about new case. Team left from office and soon reached at crime site and starts investigation. Sameer also reached there and take all updates. For further investigation, Liza takes body to the lab. Shree went to office as they found a tablet near body which is not working right now. Aisha, Sameer, Sakshi and Chotu decided to visit victim's family. They are on the way. Sameer is driving and Aisha is on passenger seat while Sakshi and Chotu are at back seat.

AISHA: Ayaan kaisa hai?

SAMEER: Jab me aaya tab toh vo ro raha tha... Arjun koshish kar raha hai lakin Ayaan chup hi nahi ho raha... Maine bhi koshish ki lakin koi fayda nahi hua…

Sameer see Sakshi from rear view mirror.

SAMEER: I guess tumhe waha se iss tareeke se nahi aana chahiye tha Sakshi...

SAKSHI: Mere pass aur koi raasta nahi tha... Tumne dekha nahi usne kaise meri ungli pakad li thi! Agar uss waqut aise nahi nikalti toh hum sab still wahi pe hote... I know mera waha se aise nikal aana thoda upsetting hai, rude hai lakin Sammy kabhi naa kabhi toh waha se aana hi tha... Halat hi aise the ki mujhe uss tarah waha se nikalna pada

SAMEER: Hmm... Tum sahi toh keh rahi ho lakin...

SAKSHI: Tum tension mat lo vo jaldi hi shant ho jaayega... Sirf usse thode waqut ki zaroorat hai aur kuch nahi

Sameer nods while Aisha keep looking at Sakshi. Sakshi see her once and then fixed her eyes outside on road. They meet the victim's family and get some new information. They went back to ETF and starts working on it. All are in conference room. After couple of hours Liza come with her reports. After discussing her reports, Sameer check the time.

SAMEER: Team it's already 1... Pehle lunch karte hai uske baad aage baat karenge

ETF members exchange look and nods as if agreeing on something. Liza take initiative and asked,

LIZA: Sir Arjun sir se puchhiye naa ki Ayaan kya kar raha hai

SHREE: Haan sir... Kab se Ayaan ka tension ho raha hai... Kaam mein bhi mann nahi lag raha

SAMEER: Hmm... Kaam ke chakkar main me bhi phone nahi kar paaya tha... Puchh leta hoon me

AISHA: Sir phone speaker pe rakhiyega... Agar Ayaan hoga toh usse baat karenge... Usko bohat accha lagega

Sameer nods. He called Arjun and put the phone on speaker.

ARJUN: Hello

SAMEER: Arjun phone speaker pe hai... Sab Ayaan se baat karna chahte hai... Kya kar raha hai vo? Chup ho gaya tha naa?

ARJUN: Sam just kuch waqut pehle hi soya hai... Tab tak ro raha tha... Chehre pe abhi bhi aansu ke nishan hai aur Khana bhi nahi khaya usne...

Arjun said sadly. Team passed worried look.

SAMEER: Arjun tu theek hai?

ARJUN: Me theek kaise ho sakta hoon Sam? Mera beta subah se ro raha hai aur ab bina khaye so gaya hai...

CHOTU: Sir aap please pareshan mat hoiiye... Ho sakta hai ab vo normal ho jaaye... Itni der rone ke baad soya hai toh shayad ab uthne ke baad usko halka mehsoos ho...

LIZA: Chotu is right...

ARJUN: I really hope ki aisa hi ho... Anyways case ki kya details hai

SAMEER: Ek aadmi ki laash mili thi... zeher deke maara gaya hai... Pata chala hai ko vo ek private investigator tha aur ek accident ke baare mein investigation kar raha tha... Ab hum ussi pe kaam karne wale hai

ARJUN: Ok

SAMEER: Tu apna aur Ayaan ka dhyaan rakh... Teri dawayi side table pe hai aur kitchen me curry aur masala rice hai... garam kar ke kha le

ARJUN: Nahi... Me Ayaan ke saath hi khaunga

SAMEER: Arjun tujhe dawayi leni hai aur khaali pet dawayi nahi le sakte... Iss liye chup chap khana kha aur dawayi le...

ARJUN: Lakin...

SHREE: Sir please aap dawayi skip mat kijiyega... Aap ki health bigad gayi toh Ayaan ko sambhalna aur mushkil ho jaayega

ARJUN: Hmm

SAMEER: Me tujhe baad me call karta hoon... Agar Ayaan uthe toh bata dena

ARJUN: Ok

TEAM: Bye sir

They disconnect the call. Whole team is sad for Ayaan. Sameer composed himself and said,

SAMEER: chalo lunch kar lete hai

All nods with sad face.

SAKSHI: Aap sab chaliye me apne desk pe hoon

AISHA: Kyun tum nahi khauogi?

SAKSHI: Aree tum bhul gayi aaj mera vrat hai naa...

Aisha remember it and nods. Team headed towards canteen area while Sakshi directly went to the washroom as she is unable to control her tears after hearing about Ayaan.

This side team reached in canteen and get settle on chairs. Ayesha and Liza open the tiffin box. All served their self. Sameer is about to eat the morsel but he put it back in dish and then get up.

LIZA: Sir kya hua?

SAMEER: A… Vo ek zaroori kaam yaad aa gaya... Me baad mein lunch kar lunga

He said and left from there.

LIZA: Sir ko achank kya ho gaya...

SHREE: wahi jo har Dad ko hota hai...

AISHA: Exactly... Unka beta bhukha hai iss liye unke gale se nivala kese utrenga

Same time canteen boy come with burger and placed it in front of Chotu.

CANTEEN BOY: Yeh lijiye sir aap ka extra cheese burger

CHOTU: Burger nahi chahiye... Le jaauo

CANTEEN BOY: Lakin aap toh roz burger order karte ho

CHOTU: Haan lakin aaj mann nahi hai... Please tum isse wapas le jaauo

Canteen boy left from there.

SHREE: Tune tere burger ko naa bol diya

CHOTU: Sach kahu toh aaj pehli baar kuch bhi khane ka mann nahi kar raha

Whole team become upset. Aisha see everyone and then said,

AISHA: Guys hum sab ko boora lag raha hai lakin agar khayenge nahi toh kaam kaise karenge... Hume case solve karna hai iss liye thoda bohat hi sahi kha lo...

Team nods in yes and had lunch reluctantly. In next couple of minute all done with their lunch as no one eat much.

SAMEER'S CABIN

Sameer is standing near the window and thinking about Ayaan. Suddenly he feels someone's presence in cabin.

SAMEER: Bolo Aisha

He said without turning towards her.

AISHA: Aap ko kaise pata me hoon

Sameer said nothing.

AISHA: Achha yeh sab chodiye aur chaliye lunch kar lijiye

SAMEER: Mera mann nahi hai

AISHA: Janti hoon

She goes near him and slowly hold his hand. Sameer see her.

AISHA: lakin mere boss ne mujhse kaha tha ki kabhi kabhi emotional hoke nahi practical hoke sochna chahiye

She take him to the table and make him sit on chair.

AISHA: Iss liye

She take the morsel and offer it to Sameer.

AISHA: Yeh lijiye...

Sameer keep seeing her.

SAMEER: Aisha waha Ayaan itna upset hai... Hurt hai aur

AISHA: aur issi liye zaroori hai ki Ayaan ke Big Dad aur Dad do no hi apna acche se khayal rakhe taaki Ayaan ko sambhal paaye... Aur aap ko sirf Big Dad hone ka hi nahi cheif hone ka farz bhi nibhana hai so kha lijiye

Sameer see her. She makes cute please face and Sameer eat the morsel. Aisha smile widely and take other morsel and feed him.

SAMEER: Team ne khaya?

AISHA: Zyada toh nahi lakin haan kuch naa khane se better tha

Sameer nods. Aisha keep feeding him.

[AT EVENING]

[CONFERENCE ROOM]

SAMEER: Ok team ab kal hum uske lawyer se baat karenge... Aaj ke liye kaam yahi khatam karte hai... Me bhi ghar jaake dekhta hoon ki Ayaan kya kar raha hai...

AISHA: Hum sab bhi aate hai...

SAKSHI: Nahi

All see her with narrowed eyes.

SAKSHI: I mean hum jaayenge toh vo wapas upset ho jaayega... I guess hume usko thoda waqut dene ki zaroorat hai

SHREE: Lakin hume dekhega toh khush ho jaayega naa

SAKSHI: Aur jab waha se nikalenge tab kya hoga? Kal subah milne chale jaayenge... Aaj rehne dete hai... Waise bhi jaise taise Arjun ne usko sambhala hoga... Usko wapas upset nahi karna chahiye

SAMEER: Hmm ek tarah se tumhari baat sahi toh hai...

He think once and said,

SAMEER: Ok then aap sab kal sabah hi aana... Abhi ghar jaauo kyun ki kaafi dino se gaye nahi ho toh safai vagera bhi karna padega...

CHOTU: Ok toh phir ghar chalte hai... Shree Liza chalo me tum dono ko drop kar dunga

Shriza nods. They left with Chotu while Sakshi, Aisha and Sameer left together. Sameer first drop Sakshi and then Aisha.

[ARJUN'S HOUSE]

Ayaan and Arjun are in living room and are sitting on sofa. Arjun is trying to talk with Ayaan but he is talking very less. He is checking the clock in every now and then. Soon Sameer enter in house. Ayaan see him and small smile comes on his lips.

SAMEER: Kaisa hai mera champ

Ayaan didn't reply and keep looking at door with lot of hope. Arjun and Sameer exchange look.

SAMEER: Kya hua Ayaan

AYAAN: Sab kahan hai?

SAMEER: Sab ghar chale gaye

AYAAN: Mujhse milne nahi aaye?

SAMEER: Vo sab bohat thak gaye the naa iss liye... Vo sab kal subah aayenge

Ayaan looks down in sadness and went into his playroom. Arjun and Sameer passed sad and worried look.

ARJUN: Bas aise hi upset raha poora din... Naa theek se baat kar raha hai aur naa hi kuch khaya...

SAMEER: Tu tension mat le... Me fresh hoke dinner bana deta hoon... Uska favorite kuch bana dunga toh kha lega...

Arjun nods. Sameer quickly prepare the dinner. They trio sit for dinner. Arjun open the lid and inhale the aroma of veg.

ARJUN: Hmmm dekho Big Dad ne aap ke liye paav bhaaji banayi hai aaj... Kitni acchi khushboo aa rahi hai...

Ayaan see it and remember Sakshi.

[FLASHBACK]

Ayaan is sitting on chair and Sakshi come holding a bowl in her hand. She placed the bowl on table.

AYAAN: Aaj kya banaya aap ne?

SAKSHI: Aap khud dekh lo

She open the lid and Ayaan become super excited seeing paav bhaji. But thing which makes him happy that is the smiley face Sakshi made by coriander on top of the food. Ayaan see her with happy face.

SAKSHI: Pasand aaya?

AYAAN: Bohat

SAKSHI: Ab taste kar ke batauo ki kaisa hai

Sakshi sit beside him. She take a bread and dip it into bhaaji and makes Ayaan eat it.

AYAAN: Yummy.... Bohat accha hai Angel... Yeh lo angel aap bhi taste karo

He take a morsel and feed Sakshi. Sakshi makes yummy face and both starts enjoying the food.

[FLASHBACK OVER]

Smile comes on Ayaan's face remembering his angel which makes Arjun and Sameer happy.

SAMEER: See Arjun maine kaha tha naa mera beta uski favorite dish dekhke khush ho jaayega

This breaks Ayaan's trance. He looked at Sameer and Arjun. He look another side but there's no one. It makes him upset.

SAMEER: Kya hua Ayaan? Abhi toh aap smile kar rahe the

AYAAN: Vo Angel... Aap ko yaad hai Big Dad, Angel ne bhi mere liye Paav Bhaji banayi thi... Unho ne naa isse (pointing at Coriander) smiley bhi banayi thi mere liye...

Ayaan see Arjun and said with sad face,

AYAAN: Mujhe Angel ki bohat yaad aa rahi hai Dad...

Ayaan almost start weeping. Arjun immediately pulled him into hug.

ARJUN: I know baby... Hum unhe baad me call karenge ok?

Ayaan nods. Arjun keep caressing his back for a couple of moments.

SAMEER: Chalo ab jaldi se batauo kaisa bana hai...

He take a morsel and feed Ayaan.

SAMEER: achha hai naa?

AYAAN: Hmmm

SAMEER: Apki angel jaisa hi bana hai naa?

Ayaan nods in negative.

SAMEER: Accha toh aap ka matlab unse bhi accha bana hai right?

AYAAN: Wrong... Angel ka best tha

Sameer pouts cutely which makes Ayaan smile a bit.

ARJUN: Ab agar teri khud ki tareef sunne ki naakam koshish khatam hogayi hai toh beth aur kha le

Sameer glared at him. Arjun and Sameer did their best to make Ayaan eat and lit up his mood but Ayaan not eat much and mostly stay silent. After Dinner… Arjun, Sameer and Ayaan sits in living room.

AYAAN: Dad chalo naa sab se baat karte hai

ARJUN: Ok wait

Arjun took his phone and do a group video call. One by one all received the phone.

TEAM: Hello Ayaan

AYAAN: Hii

AISHA: Kya kar raha hai mera champ?

AYAAN: Bas abhi abhi Dinner kiya... Aap sab kya kar rahe ho? Aap mujhse milne kyun nahi aaye?

LIZA: Hume kaam tha naa toh aaj nahi aa paaye but kal subah hum aayenge aap se milne

AYAAN: Maine aap ko bohat miss kiya

SHREE: Humne bhi aap ko bohat miss kiya

Chotu shows the noodles to Ayaan and said,

CHOTU: Dekho me toh aap ki yaad mein aaj noodles kha raha hoon... Aapka favorite

SHREE: Kya chhoteya... Video call pe bhi bas khana hi thhus raha hai... Khane ke allawa kuch dikhta hai yaa nahi

CHOTU: Haan dikhta hai naa... Mera hath aur uske bich teri gardan

Chotu said glaring at Shree and Shree gulped in fear which makes Ayaan laughs.

AYAAN: Kya mamu... Aap ne toh Chachu ko dara diya... Dekho naa unka face

Sameer and Arjun both see him with lot of happiness. Arjun is feeling so nice seeing his son laughing. Team too feel nice seeing his happy face. But Ayaan's smile didn't last long as he realize Sakshi is missing. She didn't attend the call. Seeing his changed expression everyone's smile get vanished.

AISHA: Ayaan kya hua baccha?

AYAAN: Angel kaha hai Bua?

And just now all notice that Sakshi is not there on call.

AISHA: Pata nahi...

ARJUN: Wait me phir se usko try karta hoon

He call Sakshi but she didn't pick up the phone.

SAMEER: Ruko me try kar ke dekhta hoon

Sameer called her but no response from her side.

SAMEER: Nahin uthaya... Shayad kahin idhar udhar rakh diya hoga phone

Ayaan's face become dull. Team keep talking for some time but now Ayaan is not responding much. He just nods sometime or hummed if someone ask him something. After a few more time of chit chat everyone disconnect the call. Ayaan's sadness is clearly visible on his face.

SAMEER: Chalo ab hum humara show dekhenge...

Ayaan didn't response. Sameer turn on the TV to watch their daily show but Ayaan took less interest in it too. Still Arjun and Sameer keep talking to cheer up him. After sometime Sameer notice Ayaan falls asleep on sofa itself. Arjun and Sameer both passed sad look. Sameer pick him in his arms and went to the room and put him on bed. Sameer help Arjun and they both sit there near Ayaan. Arjun starts caressing Ayaan’s head.

ARJUN: Team shaam ko kyun nahi aayi?

SAMEER: Sab aana chahte the lakin Sakshi ne suggest kiya ki aaj nahi kal subah jaayenge… keh rahi thi ki aaj hi shaam ko jaayenge aur wapas ghar aayenge toh Ayaan phir se waise hi upset hoga jaise subah tha

ARJUN: Hmm lakin Ayaan subah se aisa hi hai… poora din beet gaya lakin uske chehre pe thodi si bhi smile nahi aayi… maine bohat koshish ki lakin… abhi team se baat karte waqut jab vo hasne laga toh sukoon mila tha lakin vo bhi zyada der tak nahi teeka...

SAMEER: Agar Sakshi se baat ho jaati toh shayad Ayaan better feel karta

Arjun see him.

SAMEER: Anyways me fresh hoke aata hoon

Sameer went into washroom. This side Arjun lost in thought. After a moment Arjun's phone starts ringing. Sakshi's name is flashing on screen. Arjun received the phone.

SAKSHI: Hey

ARJUN: Hi Sakshi

SAKSHI: How are you? Tumne phone kiya tha… all ok?

ARJUN: Ayaan team se aur tumse baat karna chahta tha iss liye phone kiya tha

SAKSHI: Ohh Sorry phone silent pe reh gaya tha toh pata hi nahi chala... kya kar raha hai Ayaan?

ARJUN: Sakshi 11:30 baj rahe hai...itne din tum Ayaan ke saath rahi tumhe toh pata hi hoga ki ab tak vo so jaata hai... Hai naa?

Sakshi stay silent for a moment then said,

SAKSHI: I… I think tumhe bhi rest karna chahiye... Mujhe bhi neend aa rahi hai... Good Night Arjun

She disconnect the call. Lone tear escape from Sakshi's eyes.

SAKSHI: Shayad tum samjh gaye ho ki me kya karne ki koshish kar rahi hoon… trust me Arjun me yeh sab tumhare aur Ayaan ke liye hi kar rahi hoon...

This side,

ARJUN: Me jaanta hoon ki tum kya karne ki koshish kar rahi ho Sakshi... lakin I don’t know ki yeh sahi hai yaa nahi…

He let out a deep sigh and looked at Ayaan. Sameer come out from washroom and see him lost.

SAMEER: Kya hua Arjun? Kis ka phone tha?

ARJUN: Sakshi ka...

SAMEER: Usne pehle phone kyun nahi uthaya

ARJUN: Keh rahi thi ki phone silent pe reh gaya tha

SAMEER: Ohh...

He sit on the other corner of the bed.

SAMEER: Lakin mujhe tum kuch zyada hi pareshan lag rahe ho… kuch kaha kya usne?

ARJUN: Nahi kuch nahi kaha…

SAMEER: Ok ab chal tu bhi so jaa… itna tension mat le… kya pata kal ka din apne saath ek nayi shuruvaat leke aaye aur phir subah toh team aa hi rahi hai… Ayaan unse milega toh apne aap theek ho jaayega

Arjun nods with slight smile and lay down on bed. Sameer turn off the lights and they fall asleep.

[NEXT MORNING]

Arjun, Ayaan and Sameer are having breakfast. Same time Aisha, Shriza and Chotu enter inside saying,

TEAM: Good Morning

Arjun, Ayaan and Sameer see them. Ayaan almost jumped in joy seeing them. He quickly run towards them. Chotu pick him in his arms and all starts pampering him. Arjun and Sameer smile seeing them. Both are feeling good as Ayaan is smiling with whole heart. Liza brings chocolate for Ayaan while Aisha give him the latest toy car as she promised last day. Chotu brought samosa for him while Shree has downloaded new games for him in his tablet. Ayaan is super happy seeing everything.

ARJUN: Sab kuch Ayaan ko hi milega yaa humare liye bhi kuch hai

SAMEER: Haan… aisa lag raha hai ki iss ghar mein sirf Ayaan hi rehta hai… aree bhai hum bhi yahi khade hai…

AISHA: Sorry sab kuch humare pyaare se super hero ke liye hai… aap ko kuch nahi milega…

ARJUN: Hmm lakin hum toh itne boore nahi hai iss liye chalo sab milke nasta karte hai

LIZA: Sir hum nasta kar ke hi aaye hai

SAMEER: Toh kya hua? Ek baar phir nasta kar lo… waise bhi aaj maine pakode banaye hai... aap logon ke liye bhi hai so come…

Everyone take seat. Aisha makes Ayaan sit into her lap.

AISHA: Aap pehle yeh samosa taste karo aur batauo kaisa laga… aap ke Mamu ne poore raaste bohat tang kiya hai samose ko leke… aap bol doge ki acche hai tab jaake unhe chain milega

Saying she makes him eat the samosa.

AYAAN: Hmm bohat tasty hai… Thank you Mamu

CHOTU: You are always welcome…

All starts having breakfast with lot of fun. Ayaan is really enjoying with team. After breakfast Aisha and Liza are cleaning the table. Ayaan went into kitchen and come back with small dish.

AYAAN: Bua yeh pakode iss mein nikal ke do naa

AISHA: Kyun aap ko aur bhukh lagi hai?

AYAAN: Nahi…

LIZA: Toh aap ko kyun chahiye?

AYAAN: Angel ke liye… vo aati hogi naa mujhse milne ke liye...

This caught everyone’s attention. Aisha and Liza exchange look.

AISHA: Ayaan… baby vo baat yeh hai ki Sakshi abhi nahi aa paayegi…

AYAAN: Kyun?

AISHA: Usko kisi se milne jaana tha toh vo malad gayi hai…

AYAAN (In sad tone): Vo Ayaan ko chhod ke kisi aur se milne chali gayi?

LIZA: Aisa nahi hai… important kaam tha iss liye gayi hai warna vo pakka aa jaati

ARJUN: Kisse milne gayi hai?

AISHA: Bol rahi thi ki kisi informer se milna hai…

Arjun nods.

AYAAN: But mujhe Angel se baat karna hai… maine kal se unse baat nahi ki hai… mujhe Angel chahiye… aap Angel ko yaha bulauo

ARJUN: Ayaan abhi toh vo malad gayi hai naa… I am sure vo baad mein aap se milne aayegi

AYAAN: Nahi mujhe abhi ke abhi Angel chahiye…

AISHA: Me call kar ke dekhti hoon… aap usse phone pe baat kar lena ok?

Ayaan nods. Aisha dial Sakshi’s number. It’s switched off. Aisha looked at Arjun and nods in no.

AYAAN: Kya hua?

AISHA: Vo uska phone bandh aa raha hai… thodi der baad try karenge tab tak aap nayi car khel ke dekho…

AYAAN: No… nahi khelna hai koi car… mujhe bas angel chahiye

Ayaan said in stubborn way.

ARJUN: Ayaan

AYAAN: Mujhe kuch nahi sunna… mujhe Angel chahiye matlab chahiye… aap Angel ko bulauo… abhi ke abhi bulauo

ARJUN: Ayaan vo baad mein aa jaayegi… me kahunga unse ki malad se aane ke baad seedha aap ke pass aa jaaye

AYAAN: Nahi nahi nahi… mujhe Angel chahiye… mujhe angel se abhi hi milna hai… aap unhe bulauo…

Arjun is trying to convince him while Ayaan keep saying “Mujhe Angel chahiye”…. Team become worried seeing Ayaan’s stubbornness. As Ayaan is not listening to anyone Arjun lost his cool and said angrily,

ARJUN: Bas Ayaan… bohat hui aap ki zidd… ab ek aur word nahi…

Ayaan become silent seeing his father’s anger.

ARJUN: Ek baar kaha naa apse vo baad mein milne aayegi phir kyun zidd kar rahe ho… aur agar aap aise hi zidd karte rahe toh mein Sakshi ko bol dunga ki vo aap se milne aaye hi naa… Samjhe aap?

Ayaan’s eyes filled with tears but he is a son of Arjun Rawte. He too said angrily,

AYAAN: Maine kaha naa mujhe angel chahiye… jab tak Angel mujhse milne nahi aayegi tab tak me khana nahi khaunga… ab mujhe phone pe bhi baat nahi karna hai… Angel mujhe mere pass hi chahiye… unke haathon se hi khana khaunga…

Ayaan’s anger makes team shocked. Whole team exchange look seeing the Junior Arjun Rawte.

ARJUN (Shouted in Anger): Ayaan

Ayaan see him with angry and tearful eyes and then went into his playroom.

SAMEER: Arjun kya kar rahe ho? kyun daanta usko aise?

ARJUN: Toh aur kya karun? Vo koi baat samjhne ke liye taiyaar hi nahi hai… bas ek zidd leke betha hai… samjhana hai toh jaake apne ladle ko samjhauo…

Sameer nods in negative and headed towards the playroom. Arjun pushed his wheelchair and went to his room.

SHREE: Yaar socha tha yaha aake Ayaan ko khush kar denge lakin sab gadbad ho gayi… yeh sab naa Sakshi ki wajah se hua… Ayaan se milne ke baad informerse milne nahi jaa sakti thi? Jaise taise Ayaan khush hua tha wapas upset hogaya…

Aisha look towards Arjun’s room.

AISHA: Liza tum yeh sab clean kar do… me Sir se milke aati hoon

Liza nods and Aisha went into Arjun’s room. Arjun is near the bed and looking very worried, angry and restless.

AISHA: Sir

Arjun see her.

AISHA: Sir aap ko iss tarah gussa nahi karna chahiye tha

ARJUN: Agar vo meri baat shanti se sun leta toh gussa hona hi nahi padta… vo kisi ki baat sun raha tha kya? bas ek hi baat Angel chahiye… Angel chahiye… ab kaha se laake doon usko uski Angel?!!

AISHA: Sir shayad aap jaante hai ki Sakshi aisa kyun kar rahi hai

ARJUN: Haan jaanta hoon aur samjhta bhi hoon… kal raat tak me confused tha ki pata nahi Sakshi yeh sahi kar rahi hai yaa galat lakin ab Ayaan ko dekh ke lag raha hai ki vo sahi hi kar rahi hai… aaj Sakshi se milne ki zidd kar raha hai kal ko pata nahi aur kya demand karega… agar uski har zidd aise hi maante rahe toh vo bigad jaayega… issi tarah zidd karna sikh jaayega… koi bhi baat manwani hogi toh aise hi zidd karega kyun ki usko lagega uski zidd se sab pighal jaayenge… so I guess Sakshi sahi hi kar rahi hai usse dur reh ke…

AISHA: Sir Ayaan ki khushi Sakshi ke saath hai…

ARJUN (Bit Angrily): Toh?! Kya kahun Sakshi ko ki apna sab kaam chhod ke yaha mere bete ke pass aa jaauo? aur chalo aaj me usko yaha bula lunga… ek hafta usko bulaunga… zyada se zyada ek mahina usko yaha rukne ko kahunga phir?! Dekho Aisha Ayaan ko yeh samjhna hi hoga ki uski Angel humesha ke liye uske saath nahi reh sakti hai…

AISHA: Lakin Sir

ARJUN: Aisha please… me abhi iss baare mein koi aur discussion nahi karna chahta… mujhe abhi akela chhod do

Aisha nods and left from there. She come in living room. Same time Sameer too come downstairs. He looked at Aisha and Aisha nods in no. Sameer let out a frustrated sigh.

SHREE: Kya hua sir? Ayaan nahi aaya aap ke saath

SAMEER: Apne papa ki tarah ziddi hai vo bhi… yeh dono baap bete mera band baja ke hi dum lenge…

AISHA: Sir I guess hum mein se kisi ek ko yaha rukna chahiye… do no bohat gusse mein hai… inhe akela chhod na theek nahi hoga

SAMEER: Right… Liza kya tum ruk sakti ho? waise bhi body ki post-mortem reports tumne kal hi submit kar di thi… agar koi zaroorat lagi toh tumhe bula lenge

LIZA: Ok sir… No problem… me ruk jaati hoon…

SAMEER: Me apni gun leke aata hoon aur Arjun se bhi baat kar leta hoon

Saying Sameer went to his room.

SHREE: Waise Liza maan gaye tumhe… kya daring wala kaam karne jaa rahi ho… do do sher vo bhi bhadke hue sher ke bich rehne wali ho tum…

CHOTU: Yeh baat toh Shree ne sahi boli… aasan nahi hoga Liza… waise Ayaan ekdam copy hai Sir ka… ekdam Arjun sir ki hi tarah gussa kiya…

AISHA: Hmm just hope yeh sab jaldi hi sort out ho jaaye

SHREE: Agar yeh sab theek karna hai toh hume Sakshi se baat karni padegi… pata nahi kya ho gaya hai usse… vo jaanti toh hai ki Ayaan usse kitna attached hai phir bhi usko milne nahi aayi… milne nahi aayi vo chhodo phone bhi bandh kar ke bethi hai… kal raat bhi sab ne vedio call pe baat kiya lakin vo madam kal raat bhi gayab thi… kisi ka phone bhi nahi uthaya… aise koi karta hai kya bhala…

CHOTU: I am sure usko koi zaroori kaam hoga warna vo aisa kyun karegi? Vo bhi toh Ayaan se kitna pyaar karti hai

LIZA: Vo toh hai lakin iss baar mein Specky ki baat se agree karti hoon… Mujhe lagta hai ki Sakshi ko Ayaan se ek baar mil lena chahiye tha yaa phir atleast ek baar baat hi kar leti… uska saath Ayaan ke liye hum sab ke saath se kai zyada matter karta hai…

Aisha see her with surprise.

AISHA: Liza?!

Seeing Aisha’s expression Liza smile and said,

LIZA: Aisha tumhe kya lagta hai saari baatein tumhe akele ko hi samjh aati hai? I know tum uski best friend ho but me bhi Sakshi ki dost hoon aur Ayaan ki Maasi bhi…

AISHA: I didn’t mean that Liza… I am sorry agar tumhe aisa laga hoga toh… actually aaj se pehle kabhi bhi humari iss baare mein baat nahi hui toh

LIZA: Relax Aisha… mujhe bilkul boora nahi laga... me bas aise hi bol rahi thi… and jaha tak baat hai Sakshi aur Ayaan ke bonding ki toh mujhe lagta hai ki agar kal ko koi unknown insaan aake bhi dekhega dono ko toh vo samjh jaayega ki dono ke bich kitna gehra rishta hai… Ayaan Sakshi ke saath kitna special feel karta hai vo baat kisi se anjaan nahi hai… agar baat ko ghumaye bina kahu toh aaj Ayaan zidd apni angel ke liye nahi uss mamta ke ehsaas ke liye kar raha hai jo usne itne dino me jeeya hai… Jiss pyaar se vo itne saal bekhabar tha vo pyaar usko Sakshi se milne laga aur usko uski aadat ho gayi… ab vo uss pyaar ko miss kar raha hai… pehle usko pata hi nahi tha ki Maa ka pyaar kya hota hai iss liye shayad usko kabhi zyada fark nahi pada lakin ab usko pata hai iss liye itna strongly react kar raha hai

AISHA: You are right Liza lakin yeh baat itni aasan nahi hai…

SHREE: Itni complicated bhi nahi hai… agar Sakshi aur Arjun sir ek baar baat kar le toh Ayaan ko uska sab kuch mil sakta hai

CHOTU: Shree dheere bol agar Arjun sir ne sun liya toh aaj yahin tera raam naam satya ho jaayega… waise bhi bhadke hue hai vo and phir tumne nahi dekha ki vo Roshni ji se kitna pyaar karte hai…

LIZA: Haan yaar… Arjun sir ka pyaar ekdam pure hai… I mean kisi ki moat ke baad bhi kisi ko itna pyaar karna… bohat rare dekhne milta hai aaj kal aisa pyaar…

AISHA: Lakin yaha baat Arjun sir ki nahi Ayaan ki hai… He needs mom’s love… badhti umar ke saath Ayaan ko Maa ke saath ki bohat zaroorat hai… aur yeh baat naa hi Arjun sir samjh rahe hai aur naa hi Sakshi… I really hope ki do no ko yeh baat jald se jald samjh aa jaaye warna iss mein sab se zyada Ayaan hi suffer karega

Shriza and Chotu nods agreeing with her. Before they can discuss more, Sameer come there. Liza stays back and all other left for ETF.

[AFTERNOON]

Its afternoon and Ayaan is in living room with Liza. They are busy in drawing. Arjun is on sofa. Kehne ke liye toh vo TV dekh rahe the lakin unka poora dhyaan Ayaan pe tha kyun ki he is not talking with him. Arjun is looking very much tensed and upset by this. He check the time and it’s 12.

ARJUN: Liza 12 baj rahe hai… chalo lunch kar lete hai…

LIZA: Ok Sir… chalo Ayaan aap jaldi se apne hand wash kar ke aauo… lunch ke baad hum wapas drawing karenge

AYAAN: Mujhe lunch nahi karna

Liza and Arjun exchange look on it. Liza try to convince Ayaan saying,

LIZA: Aise nahi bolte… lunch toh karna hi padega naa… aap khana nahi khauoge toh aap ko strength kaha se milegi?

AYAAN: Mujhe nahi chahiye strength… mujhe sirf Angel chahiye… Angel aayegi tabhi me khaunga

LIZA: Ayaan baby aap toh good boy ho naa please Maasi ki baat maan lijiye… aaj me aap ko naa apne haathon se khilaungi vo bhi story sunate hue… bohat maza aayega

AYAAN: Nahi me nahi khaunga matlab nahi khaunga

LIZA: Please… aap Maasi ki baat nahi maanoge?

AYAAN: I am sorry Maasi… Lakin maine decide kiya hai vo hi karunga…Mujhe angel chahiye matlab chahiye

LIZA: Ayaan

AYAAN: No no no no… mujhe kuch nahi sunna aur khana bhi nahi hai

ARJUN: Dekho Ayaan ab aap sach mein bad boy ki tarah baat kar rahe ho… Papa ne aap ko aise behave karna sikhaya hai?

AYAAN: Aap Angel ko yaha bula lo toh me wapas se good boy ban jaaunga…

ARJUN: Aa jaayegi Angel lakin aapne suna naa abhi unhe kaam hai… unhe bina wajah disturb toh nahi kar sakte naa

AYAAN: Theek hai toh pehle unhe unka kaam finish karne do phir vo aayegi phir me unke saath kha lunga

ARJUN: Ayaan dekho Papa ko gussa mat dilauo… Me aap se last time pyaarse bol raha hoon ki lunch kar lo

AYAAN: Me bhi last time bol raha hoon Angel ke saath hi lunch karunga

ARJUN: FINE then raho aap bhukhe… Liza chalo hum dono kha lete hai…

Liza didn’t move and keep looking at Arjun and Ayaan.

ARJUN: Liza tumhe bhi ek baat baar baar kehni padegi kya?

LIZA: A… Sir lakin

ARJUN (Sternly): Liza

LIZA: Me dish arrange karti hoon

ARJUN: Good

Liza went into kitchen. Ayaan looked at Arjun once and then again starts drawing. Liza placed the dishes on table and help Arjun to settle on chair.

LIZA: Sir Ayaan ke saamne aise…

ARJUN: Tum betho aur khana khauo

LIZA: Lakin Sir

ARJUN: Me bol raha hoon waisa karo

Liza nods and sit other side. Arjun looked at Ayaan and then Liza. He said,

ARJUN: Liza tumhe pata hai Sam gatte ki sabji bohat hi acchi banata hai

Liza understand his purprose and reply,

LIZA: Really?

ARJUN: Haan haan tum dekho toh sahi…

Liza open the lid and said,

LIZA: Wow kya khushbu hai... and kitna delicious bhi dikh raha hai

ARJUN: Hai naa?

LIZA: Hmm… Sir chaliye jaldi jaldi khana start karte hai… itni acchi khushbu hai ki mujhe ab aur bhi zyada bhukh lag rahi hai

Ayaan looked back at them. Liza first serve to Arjun and then herself. Liza purposefully hold the container in way so thatAyaan can see it. Ayaan gulped seeing the food. Arjun notice it and becomebhappy.

LIZA: Waise Ayaan I guess aap ko bhi kha lena chahiye… itni lajwab khushbu aa rahi hai… aise laziz khaane ko bhala kon mana karta hai… chalo humsab milke khaayenge

AYAAN: Nahi mujhe nahi khana

He said and again starts drawing.

ARJUN: Theek hai naa Liza rehne do isse… uske hisse ka bhi hum hi kha jaayenge

Ayaan glared at his father and Arjun smile inwardly. Arjun and Liza both eat one morsel and said,

LIZA: Hmmm so tasty… aap ne ekdam theek kaha tha Sir… kya sabji bani hai… too good…

ARJUN: See maine kaha tha naa…

Ayaan keep looking at them and he again gulped. Arjun see him and said,

ARJUN: Kya hua khaane ka mann kar raha hai? agar aisa hai toh tum hume join kar sakte ho

Ayaan didn’t reply and turn his face.

LIZA: Yeh ladka itna ziddi kyun hai?

Liza whisperd to herself but Arjun listen it and said with chuckle,

ARJUN: Mera beta hai iss liye

Liza see him with surprise and embarrasement. Liza quickly looked at Ayaan and said,

LIZA: Ayaan sachhi me sabji bohat acchi bani hai… yeh miss kar ke tum bohat badi galati kar rahe ho…

Ayaan said nothing.

LIZA: Accha khana nahi hai toh sirf taste kar lo… one bite khane mein kya jaata hai… right?

Ayaan see her and Liza signal him to come near her. Ayaan get up and goes near them which makes them happy. Ayaan stand between Liza and Arjun and spare a glance at both of them. Liza take one morsel and forwards her hand saying,

LIZA: Yeh lo

AYAAN: Nahi khana hai mujhe… mujhe pata hai aap do no yeh sab kyun kar rahe ho… me itna chhota baby nahi hoon… jab Angel aayegi tabhi khana khaunga

He said and run upstairs. Arjun and Liza’s face get covered into sadness.

[AT ETF]

[CONFERENCE ROOM]

Everyone is in conference room and doing their work. Same time Sameer got a call from an unkown number.

SAMEER: Hello Sameer Rathod speaking

SAKSHI: Hi Sammy… It’s Sakshi here

SAMEER: Sakshi tum?

He check the number and said,

SAMEER: Yeh kon se number se phone kar rahi ho?

SAKSHI: Yeh telephone booth ka number hai… actually mera phone haath se phisal gaya aur toot gaya iss liye bahar se phone kar rahi hoon

SAMEER: Ohh ok… sab theek hai naa?

SAKSHI: Haan sab theek hai

SAMEER: Ok toh tum office kab aa rahi ho?

SAKSHI: Actually Sameer maine yahi batane ke liye phone kiya tha ki mujhe naa urgently Pune jaana padega iss liye mujhe kuch dino ki leave chahiye

SAMEER: Lakin achanak? Kya hua?

SAKSHI: Vo hostel se phone aaya tha… kuch legal formalities complete karni hai iss liye abhi ke abhi jaana padega…

SAMEER: Something serious?

SAKSHI: Serious toh nahi hai kuch but lawyer se milna hai… kuch documents pe signature vagera chahiye and hostel mein kuch cheezein renovate karwani hai toh uss silsile mein bhi thoda kaam hai… I am sorry end moment pe leave ke liye bol rahi hoon lakin zaroori hai iss liye…

SAMEER: No no… I can understand… bas me tumse itna kehna chahta tha ki jaane se pehle ek baar Ayaan se mil lena… vo tumse milne ki zidd kar raha tha

SAKSHI: Sammy abhi toh milne jaana thoda mushkil lag raha hai…

SAMEER: Sakshi vo zidd pakad ke betha hai ki jab tak tum milne nahi aauogi tab tak vo khana nahi khayega… agar tum mil logi toh vo zidd chhod dega

SAKSHI: Oh com’on Sammy… Ayaan ko tum mujhse bhi zyada better tareeke se jaante ho... vo zyada der bhukha nahi reh sakta… bhukh lagegi toh apni zidd chhod ke kha lega aur me pakka baad mein usse call pe baat bhi kar lungi…

SAMEER: Lakin Sakshi ek baar

SAKSHI: I am sorry Sammy… agar jaa sakti toh pakka jaati lakin waha jaaungi toh mujhe late ho jaayega aur mujhe 4 baje lawayer se milna bhi hai toh…

Sameer let out a sad sigh and said,

SAMEER: It’s Ok… waise bhi I know agar possible hota toh tum Ayaan se milne zaroor jaati… koi baat nahi tum aaram se Pune jaauo aur apna kaam khatam kar lo… aur kisi bhi help ki zaroorat ho toh bata dena…

Hearing this Aisha looked at Sameer. She think something and snatch phone from Sameer. Before Sameer can react Aisha went out from conference room and headed towards terrace leaving her team in pure confusion and surprise. Aisha reached at terrace and said in angrily,

AISHA: Yeh kya natak laga rakha hai Sakshi?

SAKSHI: Aisha

Aisha continue in same tone,

AISHA: Dekho ab naa innocent mat banna… kal se tumhe notice kar rahi hoon me… pehle toh tum kal Sir ke ghar se Ayaan ko bich raaste mein chhod ke aise chali aayi, phir shaam ko milne ka plan cancel kiya, raat ko bhi phone nahi uthaya and subah kisi so called informer se milne chali gayi aur ab Pune jaa rahi ho… kya lagta hai tumhe hum sab pagal hai kya? tum Ayaan ko avoid karti rahogi aur hume pata nahi chalega? Agar tum aisa soch rahi ho toh yeh tumhari galatfami hai…

SAKSHI: Aisha pehle toh tum shaant ho jaauo… itna gussa kyun kar rahi ho? and second thing me jo kuch kar rahi hoon soch samjh ke kar rahi hoon

AISHA: No tum kuch soch nahi rahi ho… tum bas situation se bhaag rahi ho aur kuch nahi… jiss tarah tum kuch saalon pehle Arjun sir ki shaadi se bhaagi thi waise hi aaj Ayaan se bhaag rahi ho

SAKSHI: Haan bhaag rahi hoon me… mujhe koi problem nahi hai yeh fact accept karne mein kyun ki me kuch bhi galat nahi kar rahi hoon… me sirf haalaton ko sudhar ne ki koshish kar rahi hoon

AISHA: Tum halat sudhar nahi rahi ho… tumhare iss behaviour se halat aur bigad rahe hai… Ayaan hurt ho raha hai Sakshi

SAKSHI: Aur me bhi hurt hi ho rahi hoon Aisha… mujhe bhi yeh sab karke koi zyada maza nahi aa raha hai… yeh pain uss pain ke samne kuch nahi hai jo Ayaan ko aage chalke face karna pad sakta hai… me usko dil tootne ke dard se bachne ki koshish kar rahi hoon…

AISHA: Uska dil already toot raha hai… uski aankhein tumhe dhundhti hai… tumhe apne ass pass mehsoos karne ke liye tadap raha hai vo… Aaj subah toh Arjun sir se lad pada vo aur khana tak chhodne ki baat kar raha tha

SAKSHI: Bachha hai… thodi der zidd karega phir kha lega… waise bhi vo zyada der tak bhukh bardast nahi kar paata hai… usko har 2-3 ghante mein kuch naa kuch chahiye rehta hai… zoro ki bhukh lagegi toh kha lega…

AISHA: Sakshi samjhne ki koshish karo… he needs you

SAKSHI: Nahi… usko meri zaroorat nahi hai… uske papa hai naa uske saath… aur phir me toh uski zindagi mein bas kuch mahino se hoon… usse pehle bhi toh vo apne Papa ke saath zindagi beeta raha tha… ab bhi kuch din akela rahega mere bina toh sab normal ho jaayega

AISHA (irritatingly): Yeh baat sun sun ke pak gayi hoon me… let me tell you one thing very clearly ki ab kuch bhi normal nahi ho sakta… waqut, halat, rishtey sab badal chuke hai… pehle jaisa ab kuch nahi ho sakta hai… Ayaan ke dil ne tumse ek special connect bana liya hai… jab rishtey dil se bante hai toh unke ehsaas mitaye nahi jaa sakte… uska koi eraser nahi hota hai ki eraser uthaya aur sab kuch meeta diya

Sakshi become silent and Aisha can hear her sobs.

AISHA: I don’t know tumhe yeh sab sunke kaisa laga lakin me tumhari dost hoon iss liye jo fact hai wahi bol rahi hoon… tum aur Arjun sir jeetni koshish karna chahte ho kar lo lakin ab kuch pehle jaisa nahi kar paauoge

Sakshi take a deep breath and said wiping her tears,

SAKSHI: Aisha mujhe Pune ke liye nikalna hai… late ho raha hai

AISHA: Ok… tum nahi maanogi naa? theek hai… jaauo Pune… ab me tumhe nahi rokungi… agar zaroorat pade toh wapas London jaake bhi dekh lena but mark my words tumhe ghum phir ke ek din wapas Ayaan ke pass aana hi padega… Arjun sir bhi iss rishtey ko zyada dino tak jhutla nahi paayenge… bhale hi tumhe meri yeh baat abhi bohat kadvi lagegi, galat lagegi, hurt bhi karegi lakin jiss din tumhe aur Arjun sir ko yeh sach realise hoga tab aap do no apne aap samjh jaauoge ki yeh sab kar ke aap logon ne sirf uss masoom ka dil dhukhaya hai vo bhi sirf apni zidd ke chalte…

Saying Aisha disconnect the call. She turn and found Sameer who is looking at her with utter surprise. Aisha see him for a moment and said giving his phone back,

AISHA: I am sorry… vo aise phone leke aa gayi

Aisha take a step to go but Sameer’s words stop her.

SAMEER: Tumne aisa kyun kaha ki Sakshi Arjun ki shaadi ke waqut bhaag gayi thi?

Aisha see him and then said,

AISHA: Wahi reason hai jo aap samjh rahe hai

Sameer keep looking at her and then nods in negative.

SAMEER: No… yeh nahi ho sakta… aisa hota toh Sakshi mujhe bata deti…Sakshi itni badi baat nahi chhupa sakti humse… hum tino best buddies hai… vo aisa nahi kar sakti

AISHA: Dosti nibha rahi thi iss liye chup rahi… agar aap ne aur Arjun Sir ne kabhi shaanti se iss baare mein socha hota toh aap dono bhi samjh jaate ki Arjun sir ki shaadi se kuch hi dino pehle Sakshi london kyun chali gayi vo bhi bina kisi ko bataye… itne saal vo aap logon se contact me kyun nahi thi…you know vo ladki Arjun sir aur Roshni ki khushi ke liye apna pehla pyaar kurbaan kar ke chali gayi but sab se zyada ofsos ki baat yeh hai ki aap ne, Arjun sir ne aur Roshni ne kabhi Sakshi ke baare mein socha hi nahi… aap tino apni zindagi mein itna kho gaye ki aap ko shayad yeh baat janna kabhi zaroori laga hi nahi…

SAMEER: Agar hume andaza hota toh hum usse yeh kadam kabhi nahi uthane dete

AISHA: Toh you mean aap Arjun sir aur Sakshi ki shaadi karva dete?

Aisha’s question makes him speechless and he starts fumbling with words. Aisha smile slightly.

AISHA: Issi liye chali gayi thi aur aaj ek baar phir apne pyaar aur uske bete ki khushi ke baare mein soch ke bhaag ne ki koshish kar rahi hai lakin usko yeh nahi pata hai ki iss baar samne koi 20-21 saal ka insaan nahi ek chhota masoom baccha hai aur vo uss masoom bachhe ke dil ki pukar ko zyada der tak ansoona nahi kar paayegi

SAMEER: Aisha I guess tumhe usse aise baat nahi karni chahiye thi… I mean tum jaanti thi ki vo Arjun se pyaar karti hai… aur ab Ayaan ka uske saath yeh attachment… uske dil pe kya beeti hogi?

AISHA: Maine sirf usko sach bataya hai aur sach toh humesha sab ko kadva lagta hai… meri aankhon ke saamne itna kuch galat ho raha hai aur me kuch kar hi nahi paa rahi hoon… shayad iss baat ke frustration ne mujhe aise react karne pe majboor kiya but maine wahi kaha jo sach hai

SAMEER: Agar Sakshi Arjun se aaj bhi pyaar karti hai toh me Arjun se baat karunga…

AISHA: Nahi… aap aisa kuch nahi karenge… yeh baat Arjun sir aur Sakshi ke bich hai… agar Arjun sir se baat hi karni hoti toh me bohat pehle kar deti lakin me chahti hoon ki Sakshi yeh kadam khud uthaye aur Arjun sir bhi uska pyaar khud mehsoos kare…

Sameer nods.

SAMEER: Lakin abhi jo ho raha hai vo

AISHA: Uske baare mein hum chah ke bhi kuch nahi kar sakte

Aisha said letting out a sad sigh. Sameer goes near her and take her hand into his.

SAMEER: Hum do no milke apne best friends ko kareeb laayenge… waise bhi me chahta tha ki Arjun Roshni ki yaadon se bahar aake ek naye seere se apni zindagi ki shuruvaat kare aur agar yeh shuruvaat Sakshi ke saath hogi toh mujhe zyada khush aur koi nahi hoga…

Aisha smiles and said putting her another hand on his hand,

AISHA: Aur Sakshi ko apna pehla pyaar mil gaya toh mujhse zyada khush aur koi nahi hoga kyun ki me jaanti hoon ki pehla pyaar kitna khass hota hai…

Sameer too smiles nodding in yes.

Here Sakshi reached at Pune. As she has made an excuse of her phone being broken, she didn’t contact anyone. In evening, Team went to meet Ayaan. This time Sameer try to make Ayaan have something but Ayaan didn’t eat anything. Arjun and Sameer both try to convince him in both strict and lovely manner but nothing works. At last Ayaan threw dish on floor on which Arjun scolds him. Sameer calm both father and son. That day Ayaan went to sleep early. He didn’t even watch his favourite show. Seeing Ayaan’s stubbornness Arjun decided to talk with Sakshi next day as he can’t see his son like this. It’s unberable for him now.

Next morning, Ayaan didn’t had his breakfast and not talking with anyone. Arjun called at hostel to inform Sakshi about Ayaan but the receptionist told him that Sakshi went to the nearby village to see land to build a new hostel.

Arjun inform team about it. Team decided to take him to ETF office to change his mood. Sameer and Shree both come to take Arjun and Ayaan to ETF. As there’s no case today, Team is quiet free so they spend their most of the time with Ayaan But it seemed as if his smile was lost somewhere. The shine from his eyes is missing. There was a day when Ayaan's laughter and jokes resonated in ETF, but today even after his presence in ETF office, there is a strange tension and silence. Team used almost all the possible way to cheer him up but nothing works. After spending some hours, Ayaan want to go back home so Chotu drop Arjun and Ayaan at home.

By evening, Ayaan starts looking very weak and his face become pale. He most of the time stayed in his playing room. Seeing his condition, Arjun again call at hostel but Sakshi didn’t come back yet. It’s almost 7 in evening when whole team arrived at Arjun’s house. Team notice Arjun. Worriedness is written on all over his face.

SAMEER: Kya hua Arjun? Sakshi se baat nahi hui abhi tak?

ARJUN: Nahi… abhi abhi phone kiya tha toh Pooja ne bataya ki Sakshi abhi tak wapas nahi aayi hai… usne kaha hai ki jaise hi Sakshi aati hai vo usko call karne ke liye bolegi…

SAMEER: Hmm aur Ayaan kaha hai?

ARJUN: Uppar playroom mein hai… kab se wahi betha hai… maine bulaya lakin niche nahi aaya… bol raha tha usko waha pe hi apne toys ke saath rehna hai

AISHA: Me vo cookies leke aayi hoon jo Sakshi aksar usko laake deti hai… shayad cookies kha le

Arjun nods.

LIZA: Ayaan…

Liza called him and Ayaan come out from his playing room.

LIZA: Dekhiye Bua aap ke liye kya laayi hai…

AISHA: See Chocolate cookies… aap ko pasand hai naa?

Ayaan see her but his vision starts getting blurry. He nods slightly and starts walking down the stairs. He feels like his head going heavy and everything is spinning. As he is unable to see perfectly and everything around was turning black he get scared and called Arjun.

AYAAN: Dad… Big Dad… mujhe kuch theek se dikh nahi raha hai…

This statement scared Arjun to the core. As team see him getting weak and found his head spinning, Sameer runs quickly to him and catch him before he get slip from stairs. Sameer took him in his arms and come down and place him on sofa. Arjun quickly pushed himself to sofa and starts patting Ayaan’s cheeks.

ARJUN: Ayaan… Ayaan aankhe kholo… Ayaan…

Sameer sprinkle the water on his face but still Ayaan didn’t open the eyes.

SAMEER: Ayaan…

SHREE: Sir jaldi se hospital chalte hai

Sameer nods. Chotu pick Ayaan in his arms while Sameer help Arjun to the car. Aisha and Liza is about to leave butvArjun’s phone starts ringing. Aisha picked up the phone seeing “Ayaan’s Hostel” flashing on screen.

AISHA: Hello

SAKSHI: Hello… Aisha?! Tum Arjun ke phone se kaise baat kar rahi ho?

Hearing Sakshi’s voice Aisha lost her cool because Ayaan’s condition make her worried. She said in sarcastic and angry tone,

AISHA: Tum sab kuch pehle jaisa normal karna chahti thi naa Sakshi?! toh mujhe batate hue bohat dukh ho raha hai ki aap ki vo koshish poori tarah naa kaamyab ho gayi hai… Ayaan behosh ho gaya hai aur hum usse hospital lekejaa rahe hai... agar ab aap ke dil ko tasalli mil gayi ho aur agar aap ko waqut mil jaaye toh please wapas aa jaiiyega Miss anand… kyun ki uss bacche ka dardab humare liye toh bardast se bahar hai…

She disconnect the call before Sakshi can ask or say something. She and Liza locked the door and join the team in SUV. This side Sakshi feels like ground slips under her feet hearing about Ayaan. Landline get slips from her hand and tears rolls down her cheeks. Sher uns to her room and starts packing her clothes mindlessy. She take her purse and left the hostel in next couple of minutes.
