"Sach sach baatana Bhabi. Kya aap Sidharth se pyaar karti ho?" Isha asked her again.

Sana simply nodded.

Isha smiled.

"Toh phir aap ko Bhaiya ko divorce de kar Sidharth ke saath aram se move on karna chahiye." Isha said.

Sana was a little bit surprised as Isha was saying this.

"I know maine aap ke aur Sidharth ke baare mein bohut kuch bola hai. Ek behen hone ke naate main humesha chahti thi ki aap aur Bhaiya ek ho jaao. But now I have realised how wrong I was. Bhaiya aap ko deserve hi nahi karte. Aur rahi baat Sidharth ki toh woh aap se bohut pyaar karte hai. Uss din marriage registration office mein maine unki aankho mein aap ke liye pyaar dekha tha. Woh aap ko bohut khush rakhenge."

Sana remembered the incident and smiled in her mind.

"Mujhe paata hai Isha. Sidharth mujhse bohut pyaar karta hai. Mere liye puri duniya se bhid sakta hai woh." She said.

"Toh iss baar aap ki baari hai puri duniya se bhid ne ki. Koi kuch bhi kahe aap ko toh paata hai na ki aap ka pyaar aap ke saath hai. Phir kyu logo ki sun ni? Kyu adjust karna uss admi ke saath jinhone kabhi aap se pyaar kiya hi nahi?"

"Main nahi sunti logo ki. Lekin jab baat teri aur Shehbaaz ki aayi toh..."

"Oh Bhabi! Main aur Shehbaaz ek dusre ke liye bane hai. Thik jaise aap aur Sidharth ek dusre ke liye bane hai. So trust me, hum dono ke bich koi problem nahi aayegi. Aur agar aayi bhi na toh hum dono mil kar uska saamna kar lenge."

"Tu sahi keh rahi hai Isha. Mujhe apne pyaar par pura trust hai. Aur jab woh mere saath hai, mujhe kisi se darne ki zaroorat nahi hai. Sidharth ne humesha mera saath diya hai. Isliye iss baar main usse akela nahi chhorungi."

"Bilkool thik kaha apne. Aur aap ke iss decision mein main aap ke saath hoon." Isha said and hugged Sana from the side.

"Isha, tujh se ek baat puchu? Tu mere liye apne Bhaiya ke against jaa rahi hai? Upar se agar Mummy ko yeh sab paata chala toh tere liye problem ho sakti hai. Mere liye tu sab ke saath apna rishta kyu kharab kar rahi hai?" Sana said.

"Kis Bhaiya ki baat kar rahi hai aap? Woh Bhaiya jinhone khud hi mere saath apna saara rishta khatam kar diya? Aur rahi baat Mummy Ji ki toh aap ko yaad hai, ek baar aap bhi mere liye apne sasural walo ke against gaye the? Uss waqt apne sirf mere baare mein socha. Aap ne aur Sidharth ne mil kar meri aur Shehbaaz ki love story ki happy ending karwai thi. Now it's my turn. Aap dono ke love story ki happy ending karwane ki zinmedaari meri."

"Ek minute. Mujhe toh kisi ne count hi nahi kiya." Suddenly Shehbaaz said while entering the room.

"Tu kab se khada hai?" Sana asked.

"Bohut pehle se. Aap dono behno ka special moment main kharab nahi karna chahta tha isliye bahar se aap ki baatein sun raha tha."

"Accha toh tum humari baatein sun rahe the. Kya suna tumne?" Isha said.

"Yeh hi ki Sana ne bilkool sahi decision liya hai. Aur iss mein main aur Isha dono tere saath hai." Shehbaaz said.

Sana smiled.

Then three of them did a group hug.

Few days passed. Sana was now staying with her own family. Except the place and people, everything was same in Sana's life. She was doing her regular works(Of course not that much which she used to do at her in law's house). She was going to the NGO and of course she was in touch with Sidharth. Meanwhile, Aditya tried to contact her many times. But she didn't responded.

One day, Sana was leaving for the NGO. Suddenly she met Aditya outside her house. His car was parked just in front of her house and he was standing there.

"Hey!" Aditya said to Sana.

Sana rolled her eyes and tried to leave. But Aditya blocked her way.

"Aur kab tak avoid karogi? Khatam karte hai nah sab kuch. Yun apas mein ladne ka kya fayda?" Aditya said.

"Ab aap ko kya chahiye Aditya? Aap khush rahiye na Dipti ke saath. Kyu mere piche pade hue hai?" Sana said.

"Sana maine Mummy ko sab kuch baataya. Woh bohut naraz hai mujhse. Mere ghar mein ab kuch bhi pehle jaisa nahi raha. Lekin agar tum wapas aa jaogi nah toh sab kuch pehle jaisa ho jaayega. Please ghar chalo."

"Ab kuch bhi pehle jaisa nahi ho sakta. Mera dil aur mera bharosa dono tut chuka hai. Ab usse wapas joda nahi jaa sakta. Isliye please aap yaaha se jaiye. Kuch dino mein humara divorce ho jayega. Phir aap bhi azad aur main bhi."

"Aur agar main tumhe divorce na doon toh? Hum dono ki sehmati ke bina yeh divorce nahi hoga." Aditya said.

Sana became shocked and looked at him.

"Aap kyu kar rahe hai yeh sab?" Sana asked.

"Yun samajh lo tumhe apne zindagi mein wapas paane ke liye. Tum meri biwi ho. Tum par sirf mera haq hai. Itni asaani se tumhe kaise jaane doon?" Aditya said while tucking her hair between her ear.

Sana became angry and pushed her hand.

"Aap sab kuch zabardasti se haasil kar sakte hai lekin mera pyaar nahi. Main kabhi aap ke paas wapas nahi aaungi." Sana said and started leaving.

"Tum ko aana padega Sana. I know filhaal tum hawa mein udd rahi ho. Soch rahi ho ki mujhe divorce de kar Sidharth ke saath happily life spend karogi. Lekin yeh sab tumhara veham hai. Khud ko dekha hai kabhi? Kyu pasand karega Sidharth tumhe? Woh bas mauke ka fayda utha raha hai. Bohut zald woh bhi tumhe chhor dega. Phir tumhare paas koi option nahi bachega. Tumhe mere paas aana hi hoga."

Aditya kept saying.

Sana ignored him and called a cab for herself. She got inside the cab. But Aditya's words bothered her.

"Nahi. Aisa nahi hoga. Sidharth mujhe kabhi nahi chhorega. Woh Aditya ki tarah nahi hai. He will never leave me. I trust him very much." Sana said in her mind.

In the evening...

Sana was leaving the NGO after finishing her dance class. Suddenly she noticed a little girl sitting on the swing. She was sadly watching the other children playing.

Sana noticed the girl many times. She always kept sitting on the swing and watched the other children playing. But she herself never played with them. From the beginning, Sana had curiosity about this girl.

Today she sat beside the girl on the swing.

"Hi! Kya naam hai aap ka?" Sana asked.

"Zoya!" The girl replied.

"Accha Zoya, aap humesha yaaha aise baithi kyu rehti ho? Aap ko khelna pasand nahi hai?"

"Pasand hai."

"Phir aap kyu nahi khelti unke saath?"

"Doctor ne maana kiya hai."

"Kyu?"

"Doctor uncle kehte hai mere heart mein ek chota sa hole hai. Isliye jab bhi main khelne jaati hoon meri saans phool jaati hai. Isliye mera khelna maana hai."

Sana became very sad after hearing her story.

"Lekin unhone kaha hai ki agar operation ho jaye toh main thik ho jaungi. Tab main khel bhi paungi. Accha Aunty, kya main sach mein unke saath khel paaungi?" The girl said.

Sana pulled her cheeks and said, "Zaroor khel paogi. Accha apka naam Zoya hai nah? Iss ka matlab paata hai aap ko?"

The girl nodded in no.

"Iss ka matlab hai zindagi. Isliye aap ki zindagi bohut lambi aur beautiful hogi, aap ke saath kuch bura nahi hoga. Dekhna aap bhi ek din thik ho jaogi." Sana said.

The girl smiled in happiness. Suddenly Sana noticed Sidharth.

"Accha ab main chalti hoon. Bye!" Sana said.

"Bye Aunty!" The girl said.

Sana went to Sidharth.

"Main bahar tumhara wait kar raha tha. Tum aayi nahi isliye andar chala aaya." Sidharth said.

"Actually main thodi busy thi. Chalo." Sana said.

Sidharth noticed her sad face and asked, "Kuch hua hai kya? You are looking sad."

"Paata hai Sidharth, aaj main Zoya se mili." Sana said pointing towards the girl.

"Uss bichari ke heart mein ched hai isliye woh apne dosto ke saath khel nahi paati. Akeli baithi rehti hai. Doctor ne kaha hai operation karna padega tab hi woh thik ho paayegi."

"Paata hai mujhe." Sidharth said. "NGO wale bohut dino se try kar rahe hai fund collect karne ke liye. Asal mein operation bohut mehenga hai. NGO akele uska kharcha nahi utha sakti."

"Maine usse keh toh diya ki woh thik ho jayegi, khel paayegi apne dosto ke saath. Lekin paata nahi uska operation kab hoga. Sidharth, kuch logo ke saath aisa kyu hota hai? Kyu woh apne hisaab se life enjoy nahi kar sakte? Sab ko apni life jeene ka haq hai. Phir kyu kuch log woh nahi kar paate jo woh karna chahte hai?"

Sana's eyes became watery. Sidharth looked down. He had no answer.

Sana looked at the girl and wiped her tears. Then she left from there. Sidharth also looked at the girl.

After that they both came out of the NGO and got inside Sidharth's car. Sidharth started driving.

Suddenly Sana's phone rang.

"Kaun hai?" Sidharth asked.

"Unknown number hai." Sana replied and received the call.

"Hello!" Sana said.

"Hello sweetheart! Kaisi hai tu?" A female voice came.

"Sorry, maine aap ko pehchana nahi."

"Oh come on Sana! Tu apni sautan ko kaise bhul sakti hai?"

Sana looked at Sidharth being confused.
