In the office....

Aditya entered the office and went to his cabin.

He sat on his chair started doing his works. Suddenly he felt the touch of soft fingers on his neck and shoulders.

Aditya smirked and grabbed the hand and pulled it towards himself. A woman fell on his lap.

"Bina knock kiye mere cabin mein kaise ageyi? Bad manners Dipti." Aditya said huskily.

"Tumhare cabin mein aane ke liye mujhe knock karne ki koi zaroorat nahi hai. Isliye apne yeh manners apni wife ko jaake sikhana." Dipti said.

Hearing that Aditya's mood became off and he pushed Dipti slightly. Dipti stood up and asked, "What happened?"

"Yaar subah subah naam mat lo uska. Saara mood kharab kar diya." Aditya said.

"Kyu? Ab kya kar diya maharani ne?"

"Ghar se bhukha nikalna pada uski wajah se. Ek kaam thik se nahi kar sakti. I just can't tolerate her anymore."

Dipti laughed and said, "Agar itna hi dislike karte ho usse, phir shaadi kyu ki?"

"You know ki maine apni marzi se Sana se shaadi nahi ki. Papa ne force kiya tha. Woh khud toh chale gaye, mujhe fasa diya puri zindagi ke liye." Aditya said.

"Upar se tab meri life mein tum nahi thi. Isliye maine Papa ke kehne par Sana se shaadi kar li. Shaadi ke baad mujhe paata chala that she is not my type. 3 saal pehle jab main tumse mila, then I understood what is my type. I really love you Dipti." Aditya added further and hold Dipti's hands.

"Agar itna hi pyaar karte ho mujhse phir shaadi kyu nahi kar lete? Chhor do na Sana ko."

Suddenly Aditya left his hands and said, "You know it's not possible. Mummy bohut pyaar karti hai Sana se. She will never accept us."

"Then what about us? Hum puri zindagi aise hi rahenge?"

"Main kuch na kuch manage kar lunga Darling. Abhi yeh sab baatein chhoro. Kaam ki baat pe aate hai. Suna hai humari company ka naya vice president aa raha hai?"

"Wah Aditya! Jaise hi maine tumse shaadi ki baat ki, you just changed the topic. I know ki tum mein utni himmat hi nahi hai ki tum Sana ko chhor sako. Asal mein toh tumhe hum dono chahiye." Dipti said in her mind.

"Kya hua? Kuch pucha tumse." Aditya said and Dipti's thought broke.

"Haan woh suna hai ki humare naye vice president kaal se hi join kar rahe hai." She said.

"Good. Phir toh mujhe prepared rehna padega. Agar ek baar unke samne apna accha sa ek impression bana liya, phir toh promotion pakki. By the way what's his name?"

"Sidharth Shukla."

At Mumbai Airport...

"Beta maine tera dinner pack kar diya hai. Raat ko khaa lena. Pohuchte hi call zaroor karna, aur haan Delhi mein thand bohut hai isliye maine tere liye garam kapde pack kar diye hai, woh pehen le na." Rita Ji, Sidharth's mother, was saying non-stop.

Sidharth was looking at his mother and laughing in his mind.

"Arrey humara Sidharth koi baccha nahi hai. Woh ab bada ho chuka hai aur apna dhyan khud rakh sakta hai." Ashok Ji, Sidharth's father, said.

"Dekhiye mere liye Sidharth abhi bhi ek chota sa baccha hi hai. Aur main toh usse bas Delhi ke weather ke baare mein baata rahi thi...."

"Mom, Mom, relax! Main pehle bhi Delhi jaa chuka hoon aur mujhe sab paata hai. Aap log bas apna dhyan rakhna aur time se medicine le lena." Sidharth said.

"Don't worry my Son, we will take care of ourselves." Ashok Ji said.

Sidharth smiled.

"Aur ek baat, Sidharth, pichli baar tune kaha tha ki tu mere liye bahu layega, lekin khali haath hi wapas aa gaya. Iss baar mujhe meri bahu chahiye." Rita Ji said.

Sidharth laughed and said, "Main Delhi kaam karne jaa raha hoon, ladki dekhne nahi."

"Mujhe kuch nahi paata, tu bas mujhe promise kar."

"Thik hai main promise karta hoon. If I find my soulmate, I'll definitely marry her. Iss baar main usse haath se nahi jaane dunga."

Suddenly Sidharth heard some airline announcements. He hugged his parents and they bid him goodbye.

After that Sidharth left for Delhi.

Sitting in the plane Sidharth was thinking about his Mom's words.

"I know Mom, aap chahte ho ki main jald se jald apni life mein settle ho jau. Being a mother, apka yeh chahna galat nahi hai. Lekin sach kahu toh Sana ke alawa mujhe kisi bhi ladki ko dekh kar woh feeling nahi aayi. I don't know Delhi mein mere liye iss baar kaunsi surprise wait kar rahi hai. But jaisa ki maine apko promise kiya hai, agar iss baar mujhe koi aisi mili jis se mujhe woh same feeling aaye jo mujhe Sana se aati thi, main usse apna bana ke hi rahunga, by hook or by crook." Sidharth said in his mind.

At Sana's house...

Sana was busy in kitchen. Suddenly she heard a knock on the door. She opened the door and huge smile came to her face.

"Shehbaaz! Kaisa hai tu? Mummy Papa kaise hai? Itne dino baad tujhe meri yaad aayi?"

"Itne dino baad hi sahi, teri yaad aayi aur main daura chala aaya." Shehbaaz said while entering the house.

"Jhut" Isha said. "Bilkool jhut bol raha hai yeh. College mein mila toh main pakad ke le aayi. Kaha ki Bhabi ka mood kharab hai isliye tum chalo. Tumhe dekh ke unka mood thik ho jayega."

Isha and Shehbaaz both do part time job in the same college.

"Sana, tera mood kyu off hai? Jiju se jhagra hua?" Shehbaaz asked.

"Arrey nahi nahi. Woh bas thoda sa gussa ho gaye the. Lekin aaj maine unka mann pasand khana banaya hai. Dekhna unka gussa yun chala jayega." Sana said. 

Then she again went to the kitchen.

Shehbaaz and Isha were watching her from a distance.

"Kya lagta hai? Bhaiya ka gussa shant ho jayega?" Isha asked Shehbaaz.

"Ho jaana chahiye. Sana itne pyaar se khana bana rahi hai." Shehbaaz replied.

"Bhabi har chiz pyaar se hi karti hai. Bas Bhaiya hi unke pyaar ko samajh nahi paate. Aur kitne din aise ek tarfa sab kuch chalega? I hope Bhaiya ko jaldi realise ho jaye. Otherwise it will be too late." Isha said in her mind.

At midnight...

Sana was sleeping at the dining table. It was 12.00 am . She slept while waiting for Aditya. After sometime he returned home.

Sana's sleep broke by the knock on the door. She opened the door while rubbing her eyes.

"Aap aa gaye? Itni der hui....."

"Haan woh office mein kuch kaam tha." Aditya said while going upstairs.

"Koi naa aap fresh ho kar aa jaiye. Main khana laga deti hoon."

"Main bahar se khaa ke aaya hoon."

"Kya? Lekin maine toh aaj apka mann pasand khana banaya tha."

"But mujhe toh paata nahi tha. Maine socha kahi ghar aa kar yeh na sun na pade ki tum dinner banana bhi bhul gayi. Iss se accha main bahar se hi kuch kha loon." Aditya said and left.

Sana's heart broke after hearing that. She didn't eat that night and put everything in the fridge. After that she went to her room.

Aditya was lying on the bed and doing something in his phone. Sana sat beside him. Aditya didn't even notice her. The room was filled with an unnatural silence.

After sometime Sana herself broke the ice and said, "Kaal main Mummy Ji ke saath humare kuch relatives ke ghar gayi thi."

"Toh?"

"Woh log puch rahe the ki shaadi ke 6 saal hone ko aaye hai, kab humara ek baccha hoga. Aapko nahi lagta humein ab bacche ke liye try karna chahiye?"

Aditya got angry and said, "Phir se suru ho gaya tumhara wahi bhajan, baccha kab aayega. Sana I'm not ready to become a father. Mujhe abhi kaam par focus karna hai. Nahi chahiye mujhe koi naya burden."

"Lekin mujhe....."

"For God's sake Sana, please stop this nonsense. Kaal humare office mein naya vice president aa raha hai aur isliye mujhe subah jaldi uthna hai. So please let me sleep." Aditya said.

He switched off the light and fell asleep.

Shehnaaz looked at him and tears rolled down from her eyes.

"Burden? Apne kitni asani keh diya ki ek baccha apke liye sirf ek burden hai. Aur main? Apne kabhi socha ki main kya chahti hoon? Waise kyu sochenge? Main bhi toh apke liye sirf ek burden hi hoon." Shehnaaz said.

Soon she fell asleep while crying.
