It was a beautiful morning Daya was sleeping on his bed. The sun rays came from window and fell on his face. He woke up and saw Shreya's photo on the side table. He took the photo in his hand and started caressing the face.

Daya: Shreya yaar itne din ho gaye, kab aaogi bahut miss kar raha hun main tumhe. Pata nahin tumhara ya mission kab khatm hoga lekin jab wapas aaogi na tab main tumhen acche se bataunga dobara mujhe chhodkar aise kabhi nahin jaaoge fir.

He kept the photo back on the table and went to freshen up. He came back and open the almirah took white shirt and blue pant.

Daya: dekho Shreya mein tumhari favourite colour ki shirt pahan raha hun, ab to wapas aa jao please.

He wore his dress and stood in front of the mirror.

Daya: aaj mujhe ACP sar se baat karni hogi tumhara mission kab pura hoga. Pura Kamra aadha adhura lagta hai tumhare bina. kash tumhari jagah mein chala jata.

A voice came from the door of the room. A girl of 10 years was standing there.

Girl: papa aap taiyar ho gaye?

Daya: are Diya beta aap uth Gaye aur aapne mujhe bataya bhi nahin main aapko taiyar kar deta, Aap school ke liye apne aap taiyar ho gaye?

Diya: nahin papa mujhe badi mumma ne taiyar kiya.

Daya: Matlab ab aapko Papa se jyada badi Mumma pyari ho gai.

Diya: nahin papa ab main badi Ho gai hun main apna kaam khud kar liya karungi aur maine badi mumma se bola ki main khud taiyar Ho jaaungi lekin unhone mujhe tyaar kar diya.

Daya: Achcha theek hai chalo sath mein breakfast karte Hain fir main aapko School chhod aaunga.

Diya: ok papa.

Daya: Aur aapki mumma bhi bahut jald wapas a jaenge fir ham sab sath mein main kahin ghumne jaenge.

Diya got sad listening this

Diya: Achcha papa pahle aap breakfast to kar lijiye chal ke.

Both of them came to the dining area and sat there with Abhijeet, Tarika and Aditya (Abhijeet and Tarika's son)

Daya: Wah Tarika khana to bahut Achcha banaya hai Shreya ke hath ki kai ki yad a gai. Achcha Abhijit kuchh pata chala ki kab wapas a rahi hai kyunki mujhe to ACP sir kuch batate nahin hai pata nahin kya Ho Gaya unhe pura ek saal Ho Gaya Abhi to kuchh pata hi nahin chala.

Abhijeet: tu chinta mat kar bahut jaldi pata lag jaega.

After that All of them left for their respective places.

Inside the bureau in afternoon

Daya had left for headquarter to submit file.

Kanika(New officer) to Abhijeet: Sir mai iss desk par baith kar kaam kar lu(pointing towards Shreya's desk). Meri desk abhi tak assign nhi hui h.

Daya returned to bureau to take some files.

Daya:Ji nhi. Ye Shreya ki desk h aur agar uspar koi aur baithe toh mujhe bilkul acha nhi lagega. Jab tak wo wapas nhi aa jati tabtak uski desk ko koi hath bhi nhi lagayega. UNDERSTAND???

Abhijeet: han Daya koi nahin chuyega. Tum shant ho jao.

Daya: are aise kaise shant ho jao, meri Shreya ki chij ko agar koi bhi hath lagata hai to tumhe pata hai Na mujhe Kitna gussa aata hai

Abhijeet: theek hai na Daya galti se ho gaya, Jao Tum jakar ke ye files headquarters submit karke aao.

Daya took the files and left from there.

Pankaj: sar aapane dekha Na Daya sir ki halat kya Hui ja rahi hai, aisa hi chalta Raha to pata nhi kya hoga. ab sir aapko hi kuchh karna padega

Next day at Daya's house

It was Sunday Daya woke up late. Diya came inside and gave him a packet.

Diya: papa aj aap ye kapde pehaniyega.

Daya: are beta hai ye kyun.

Diya: please papa yah kapde pahan kar aap thodi der mein bahar a jaiega.

Daya: kyun aaj kya hai.

Diya: Aaj special day hai please aap bahar aa Jana.

Diya left from there everyone gathered in the hall. After sometime Daya also came out from his room. He became shocked after seeing the scenario.

In the centre there was a photo of Shreya on which there was a garland. Everyone there wasin whites

Daya angrily came and threw the garland away from Shreya's photo.

Daya: Abhijeet yah kya badtameezi hai meri Shreya ke photo ke upar har kyon tanga hai. aise haar uski photo per chadhte Hain Jo Bhagwan ke pass chala jata hai Shreya abhi Jinda hai. Kuchh nahin hua use.

Abhijeet: han Daya tune Sahi kaha aise har usi ki photo par jaate Hain Jo Bhagwan ke paas chala jata hai aur hamari Shreya bhi vahin per hai, aur aaj uski terawi h.

Daya: pagal ho gaye ho kya Abhijeet Shreya abhi Jinda hai faltu ki baatein band karo vah bus mission per gai hai aur wapas a jayegi

Abhijeet: Daya mere Bhai baat samajhne ki koshish karo hamari Shreya Shahid Hui hai Garv hona chahie hame us per.

Daya: nahin Abhijeet Tum jhooth bol rahe ho. ACP sir aap hi boliye na abhijeet jhooth bol raha hai na Shreya mission per gai hai.

Everyone stood there with their head down.

Daya: kyon majak kar rahe ho aap log mere sath. mujhe pata hai meri Shreya Mera sath chhodkar kabhi nahin ja sakti usne mujhse Vada kiya tha ki wo mera sath kabhi nahin chhodegi.

ACP: Daya meri baat suno. Han yah sach hai hai ki Shreya mission ke dauran Shahid Ho gayi aur tum bhi swikar lo.

Daya: aap sab jhoot bol raha hai main nahi manta.

Diya: papa.

Daya: Diya beta Inki baton per Vishwas mat karo aapki mumma zinda hai yah sab jhooth bol rahe hain.

Diya: nahin pata koi jhooth nahin bol raha hai mumma hame hamesha hamesha ke liye chhod kar Bhagwan Ji ke pass Chali gai hai.

Daya: nahin diya beta wo Jinda hai yah sab jhooth bol rahe hain aap inki baat per Vishwas mat karo sab jhooth bol rahe hai, sab jhooth bol rahe hain.

Abhijeet made him turn and gave a slap on his face.

Abhijeet: hosh mein aao daya aur sab log jo kah rahe hain is baat Ko Mano Shreya hame hamesha hamesha ke liye chhod kar Chali gai hai.

Daya fell on his knees and started crying.

Daya: Abhijeet usne mujhse Vada kiya tha wo mere sath hamesha rahegi kabhi mujhe chhodkar nahin jayegi wo Apna Vada nahin tod sakti.

Abhijeet: Daya usne Apna Vada nahin toda wo hamare sath hi hai hamare Dil mein Diya ke roop mein hamare sath hai, han yah baat to main kab se batane ki koshish kar rahe hain to Tum sunne Ko taiyar hi nahin the.

Diya started crying and ran into his father's arms.

Daya hugged her and let his pain come out through his tears.

At night

Daya was standing near window watching the the stars

Daya: Shreya kyon Chali gai Tum mujhe chhod kar, pata hai na Kitna Akela mahsus kar raha hun main aaj, tumne mujhse Vada kiya tha tum mujhe kabhi chhod kar nahin jaaogi per tum jhoothi nikali tumne Apna Wada Tod Diya. Tumne Aisa kyon Kiya kya meri ya Diya ki kuchh galti thi Jo hame Akela chhod kar Chali gai tumhen pata hai na ham donon Kitna pyar karte Hain tumse fir bhi Tum hamen Akela chhod kar Chali gai bahut buri ho tum Shreya bahut buri.

Diya entered inside his room and hugged his father from back.

Diya: Papa kya mai aaj aapke sath so jau aaj mumma ki bahut yaad a rahi hai

Daya: Diya beta yah bhi koi puchne ki baat hai aap mere sath hi so jaaiye

Daya took Diya in his arms and made her lie on the bed covered the blanket over her. started moving from there

Diya: papa aap kaha ja rahe hain.

Daya: kahin nahin beta mai toh yahi hu aapke pass.

Daya came towards the other side of the bed took Shreya's photo kissed on it and kept the photo back on the table and slept with his daughter Diya.

Above the Stars

A girl was standing there in pure white gown. She was looking down. It was Shreya's Soul.

Shreya's Soul: I know daya aap mujhse bahut pyaar karte hai, mai bhi aapse bahut pyaar karti hu. Mujhe ye bhi pata h ki aap mere baad Diya ka aur apna khyal rakhenge. Bas dukh iss baat ka h ki mai apna vada nhi pura kar paayi, Maine apne saato vachan pure nhi kiye, mai aapko akele chod kar chali aayi, maine aapko vada kiya tha ki mai apni aakhiri saase apki bahon me lungi, mai use pura nhi kar paayi. I am sorry. Par mai bhi kya karti majburi thi aapne hi kaha tha na ki desh badhkar kuch nhi hota bas maine wahi kiya. I hope aap mujhe maaf kar denge.

Soon she disappeared.

Sometimes Love stories ends up like this only. But the love in their hearts never ends.

Death ends a life, not a relationship.
