Now, i will denote Nandini chachi and chacha as only chachi and chacha because now, they belong to all of them.

AT NIGHT:

AT THE DINING TABLE:

(They all were having dinner cherishing the taste of the food, talking, giggling. They were having a full family time with a mother, father, brother, sister, friend, love.. all relations were present there. In short, full family is present there enjoying to their fullest. They were talking, suddenly Cabir remembered something and spoke.)

C: Chachi, pata hai apko hum sabne kal ghumne jane ka plan banaya tha... (He was going to speak further but chachi intervene because she became surprised to know that.)

CHACHI: Kal? Par kal kaise? Nandu, kal ghumne jane ke liye maan gayi? Kal toh... (Nandini immediately stopped chachi from saying further.)

N: Arey chachi, pehle ap cabir bhai ki puri baat toh sunn lo...

CHACHI: Haan, cabir bol? Nandini maan gayi?

C: Nhi chachi, ye maani hi nhi. Humne jab zidd ki toh pehle mana kar rahi thi par fir hamare badi zidd karne ke baad parson ghumne jane ke liye maani hai. (Now, chachi became sad knowing that.)

CHACHI: Acha, tabhi main sochun ki nandu kal jane ke liye kaise maan gayi. Kal ka din toh vo kabhi bhul hi nhi sakti.... kal toh... (Nandini again interrupted her and manik got a doubt.)

N: Chachi, chodiye na.. Ap kyun itna soch rahi ho? Main kal kahin nhi ja rahi, ghar par hi hoon. Hum sab parson jaayenge ghumne. (But, manik was adamant to know it.)

M: Par chachi, kal hai kya?

CHACHI: Kal vo.. nandini ke... (Nandini again intervened and immediately changed the topic and all others understood it.)

N: Arey Mani, chodo na.. Tum bhi kya baaton mein lag gaye... Tum ye khao, gajar ka halwa. Maine khud banaya hai apne haathon se. (Nandini gave it to manik. Manik was going to ask again but cabir immediately asked and with eyes asked manik to wait. Manik understood it. Nandini became happy that finally she succeeded in changing the topic.)

C: Sach doll....?

N: Haan bhai... Khakar batao kaisa bana hai? (She gave it to cabir. He tasted it and it was actually yummy. All tasted it and they all loved it. They all smiled and started the praising session.)

C: Wow doll.. it's delicious.

MU: Sach mein chotti.. Maine isse zyada tasty halwa pehle kabhi nhi khaya hai. Halwa kya, maine itna tasty khana kabhi nhi khaya. Thanku chotti. Thanku chachi. U are the best.

C: Sachi chachi, maza aa gaya khana kha kar aur upar se apne sare hamare favourite dishes banaye hain. Par apko kaise pata chala ki hamein kya pasand hai aur apko punjabi dishes kaise banana aata hai aur vo bhi itna tasty? (Chachi smiled and proudly spoke.)

CHACHI: Arey, tumhare chacha ji south indian hain, par main toh punjabi hi hoon. Toh mujhe ye punjabi dishes banana aata hai aur mujhe south indian bhi banana aata hai. Aur rahi baat tumhare pasand ke khaane ki toh shaam ko jab hum saath baithe the, toh tum logon ne mujhe bataya tha na ki tumhe kya-kya pasand hai, toh maine socha ki aj apne bacchon ki pasand ka hi khana bana loon. (Their eyes got moist seeing chachi doing so much for their happiness. She not only remembered their taste but also prepared the dishes for them.)

MU: Par chachi, apko itna mehnat karne ki kya zarurat thi? I mean apne itna sab kiya hamare liye. (Chachi gave her a fake angry glare and spoke.)

CHACHI: Chup kar.. Maine jo kiya mere bacchon ke liye kiya, toh iss mein mehnat kaisi. (Now chachi smiled and spoke lovingly.) Tu bas khana kha aur enjoy kar.. Samjhi? (All smiled.)

MU: Okay chachi.. I love you.

C: I love you too chachi. (Chachi smiled.)

CHACHI: Haye mere bacche.. I love you both.. (Chachi saw manik lost in some thinking and asked which broke manik's trance.) Manik tumhe pasand nhi aaya kya? Tumne kuch nhi kaha? Tumhe agar kuch aur khana hai, toh bata do, main bana dungi. (Manik immediately spoke.)

M: Arey nhi chachi, aisa bilkul nhi hai. Ye world ka best khana hai. Aur maa apne haath se apne bacche ke liye uski pasand ka khana banaye aur usse pasand na aaye, aisa kabhi ho sakta hai kya.. Vo bas pehli baar maa ke haath ka khana khaya na, toh thoda emotional ho gay tha. Par sach mein, Ye best khana hai. (While speaking all this, his eyes were moist. Now, he turned towards nandini and spoke making her smile.)

M: Aur angel, halwa bhi The Best hai. I loved it. Aj ke baad jab bhi mujhe kuch meetha khana hoga, tab tum mere liye ye halwa hi banana aur chachi jab bhi mera ghar ka khana khane ka mann karega, toh main apke paas hi ayunga aur fir aap aur nandu milkar mere liye tasty sa khana banana. 

C: Aur main toh khana khane roz hi aap ke paas aane wala hoon chachi..

MU: Main bhi. Itna tasty khana khane ko roz-roz mile, toh koi kaise chod sakta hai. Agar iske baad mujhe bhi cabir ki tarah sab bhukkhad kahein, toh i am ready. Mujhe bas apke haath ka khana chahiye roz.

C: Bilkul. Mera bas chalo toh main toh teenon time hi yahaan aa jayun khana khane. (They all chuckled seeing their excitement.)

CHACHA: Bacchon, ye tumhara ghar hi hai aur hum sab tumhare hi hain. Tum sab jab chache yahan aa sakte ho aur apni pasand ka khana apni chachi ko kehkar banwa sakte ho. Kyun Shanno ji?

CHACHI: Bilkul. Mujhse zyada khush kaun hoga mere bacchon ki wishes puri karne mein. Tumhara jab dil kare tab aa jana aur jo khane ka mann ho mujhse kehkar banwa lena. (They all smiled.)

(They completed the dinner and then, come to hall. Chacha has to wake up early in the morning and he was tired also, so he bid good night to all of them and went to sleep. Rishabh was also tired and asked nandini to make him sleep and nandini agreed. So, he bid bye to everyone and went to sleep.)

IN THE HALL:

(Now Chachi, fab3 and navya are present there. Cabir gestured manik to speak now and ask chachi what's wrong with nandini. Manik nodded.)

M: Chachi vo... 

CHACHI: Kya baat hai manik? Kuch puchna hai kya tumhe?

M: Ji chachi vo... Par Nandini?

CHACHI: Don't worry... Aj rishabh nandine se sona chachta hai, toh vo usse bhut tantrums dikhayega. Vo abhi kam-se-kam 1 hour se pehle niche nhi aane wali. (They all smiled listening about brother-sister bond.) Tum pucho, kya puchna hai? (Manik again became hesitant.)

M: Chachi vo...  Pata nhi mujhe haq hai ya nhi ye puchne ka... I mean.... (Chachi became angry by listening it and scolded him but in a polite manner to make him understand.)

CHACHI: Manik, main tumhe kitni baar samjhayun ki tumhe pura haq hai, tum kuch bhi puch sakte ho. Kya tum abhi bhi hamein apna nhi maante? (Manik immediately spoke.)

M: Nhi chachi, aisi baat nhi hai. Vo ye sab bhut naya hai na aur itne pyaar ki aadat nhi hai, toh darr lagta hai ki kahin kuch galat na bol doon jisse ap log hurt ho jayein aur main apni iss family ko kho doon. Chachi, ap sab ne mujhe bhut pyaar diya hai aur ab ye meri family hai jisse main kabhi khona nhi chahta apni kisi bhi galti ki wajah se. Ab tak toh bina pyaar ke, bina kisi expectation ke, bina kisi hope ke, bina family ke jee raha tha par aj aap sab ne itna pyaar diya ki agar ab aap sab mujhse dur huye, toh main nhi jee payunga. Bas isiliye darr gaya tha. (He became emotional while saying all this and chachi smiled and spoke lovingly.)

CHACHI: Manik, tum kabhi kuch galat nhi karoge ya kahoge aur agar kuch galat ho bhi gaya, toh kya ho gaya. Galtiyan insaan se hi hoti hain. Koi bhi jaan bujhkar galti nhi karta, haalaat uss se vo galti karwate hain. Bhala, koi bhi jaan bujh kar apni family ko hurt kyun karega, hai na? Aur vaise bhi insaan galtiyon se hi seekhta hai aur hum tumhari family hain. And trust me ab ye family tumse kabhi dur nhi jayegi, balki tumhare galat hone par tumhe sahi raasta dikhayegi, tumhare sahi hone par tumhe support karegi aur kuch bhi ho jaye, par ye family kabhi bhi tumhe khud se dur nhi jane degi. Aur ye baat mukti aur cabir tum bhi humesha yaad rakhna. (They again got tears in their eyes with the realisation of all the love they are getting from them. Chachi wiped their tears and asked Manik.)

CHACHI: Acha, ab bata, kya puchna tha tujhe? (Manik took a deep breath and asked chachi hoping that his angel is not hiding anything painful from him.)

M: Chachi vo.. Kal kya hai? I mean kal aisa kya hai jo angel humse chupana chahti hai. Vo dining table par bhi baar-baar uss topic ko avoid karne ki koshish kar rahi thi. Aisa kya hai kal, jo vo hamein batana nhi chahti?

C: Haan, aisi kaunsi baat hai jo vo humse chupa rahi hai. Infact, morning mein bhi jab humne trip ka plan banaya tab vo bhut excited ho gayi thi lekin jaise hi humne kaha ki hum log kal jayenge trip par, toh usne saaf mana kar diya.

MU: Haan, aur uske baad vo bhut sad bhi ho gayi thi, bhut upset ho gayi thi vo.

NA: Ji chachi, infact humne uss se puchna chaha, toh usne baat ko taal dia. (Chachi have tears in her eyes. All others got worried.)

M: Chachi kya hua, ap ro kyun rahi hain? Apki aankhon mein ye aansun kyun?

MU: Ji chachi, agar humne kuch galat bol diya, toh we are sorry.

C: Ji chachi, please ap royiye mat. Hum dobara nhi puchenge. We promise.

NA: Ji chachi, pacca.

CHACHI: Arey nhi bacchon, aisi baat nhi hai. Ye toh khushi ke aansun hain. Mera toh ye dekhkar dil bhar aaya ki tum sab nandu se kitna pyaar karte ho, vo kitni lucky hai jo usse tum jaise pyaar karne wale dost mile hain jo usse apni family maante hain aur usse humesha khush dekhna chahte hain aur usse kabhi sad nhi dekh sakte. (They all smiled.) 

C: Chachi, lucky vo nhi, lucky hum hain jo humari life mein vo aayi aur hamari life ko khushiyon se bhar diya.

NA: Ji chachi. Hum toh ek dusre ko thk se jaante bhi nhi the, lekin fir bhi usne ek accha dost hone ke naate, hamare liye puri fab5 se ladai ki.

MU: Hum fab5 ne usse kitna torture kiya, par uss ne uff tak nhi ki aur badle main hamein dher saara pyaar diya.

M: Chachi, vo jaan hai hum sab ki. Agar aj hum khush hain toh sirf aur sirf uski vajah se aur hum usse sad nhi dekh sakte. (Now manik became a little sad remembering nandini's sad face.) Pata nhi kya hai, par koi baat toh zarur hai, mujhe aisa lag raha hai ki vo hum sab se koi baat chupa rahi hai, kisi baat ko lekar upset hai vo par humse apna pain share nhi kar rahi hai. Chachi, main usse aise sad nhi dekh sakta, please bataiye ki aisa kya hai jo vo humse chupa rahi hai?

C/ MU/ NA: Ji chachi, please bataiye. (Chachi smiled and became sad too remembering nandini's pain.)

CHACHI: Nandu, sach mein bhut lucky hai jo usse tum sab mile jo bina kahe uske dil ka dard samajh gaye, samajh gaye ki vo apni smile ke peeche apne pain ko chupa rahi hai. (Manik immediately got worried listening nandini hiding some pain.)

M: Pain? Kaisa pain chachi? Aisi kaunsi baat hai jo vo humse chupa rahi hai? Aisa kaunsa dard hai jo vo apne dil mein chupaye baithi hai aur kyun? (Chachi smiled remembering the nature of nandini.)

CHACHI: Kyunki vo nandini hai jo sirf khushiyan baantna janti hai, usne kabhi apna dard baantna seekha hi nhi. Humesha apna pain apne tak rakhti hai aur apni khushiyan sab mein baantti hai. Kehti hai ki hamein sirf khushiyan baantni chahiye jisse dusron ko bhi khushi mile aur agar hum apna pain share karenge toh humare saath-saath hamein pyaar karne wale bhi sad ho jayenge, hurt ho jayenge toh kisi ko hurt kyun karein, isliye main apna dard apne tak hi rakhti hoon. Aur pata hai ki ye baat mujhe kahan se pata chali, nandini ki ek diary se. maine galti se ye baat padh li aur tab mujhe pata chala ki vo kyun humse apna dard nhi baantti. Khud ke liye toh iss baat ko follow karti hai par jab kisi dusre ko pain mein dekhti hai, toh uska funda bilkul alag hai, tab hum sabko kehti hai ki chachi jaise khushiyaan baantne se badhti hain, thk ussi tarah pain bhi share karne se kam ho jata hai, isliye hamein apna dard share karna chahiye, usse apne tak seemit nhi rakhna chahiye varna apke saath-saath jo log apse pyaar karte hain, vo bhi hurt honge apko sad dekhkar. 

Meri bacchi itni bholi hai ki jab khud ke dard ki baat aati hai, toh puri koshish karti hai uss dard ko apne dil mein chupane ki, itni koshish ki saamne wale ko uski smile ke peeche chupe dard ka ehsaas hi nhi hota. Bas, apna dard kisi ko dikhana nhi chahti, usse apne andar hi dil ke kisi kone mein chupakar rakhna chahti hai. (Now, they all were hell worried listening to this that what is that pain which she is holding. Unki jaan hai vo, usse dard mein kaise dekh sakte hain.)

M: Par chachi aisa kya dard hai usse? Aisi kya baat hai jis vajah se vo itne dard mein hai lekin fir bhi chupa rahi h? Aisa kya hai kal chachi? (Chachi sighed deeply and spoke.)

CHACHI: Kal ghar mein ek puja hai. (They became confused.)

MU: Puja? Kis cheez ki puja chachi? (Chachi's eyes became moist remembering the day and she spoke sadly.)

CHACHI: Kal ke din hi nandini aur rishabh ke amma aur appa ki death hui thi, toh isliye har saal hum ghar mein uss din puja rakhte hain. (They all were shocked to hear it and their eyes immediately got teary. They haven't even imagined that for once even ki aisa bhi kuch ho sakta hai, ki jo ladki jo humesha dusron mein khushiyan baantti rehti hai, usne apne dil mein itna bada dard chupa rakha hai, itna bada dard jiski koi gehraai hi nhi hai bas badhta hi jaata hai.) (Cabir is the first one to recover from the shock and asked frantically realising his baby sister, his doll is in so much pain.)

C: Par usne hamein kabhi bataya kyun nhi? Hamein laga ki uske parents mangalore mein hain uski daadi ke saath aur vo yahan padhai karne aayi hai. Hum parents ki baat vaise toh bhut rare hi karte the, par humne ek din doll se pucha tha uske bachpan ke bare mein, uske parents ke bare mein, par usne hamein zyada nhi bataya, hamein laga ki vo topic ko isliye avoid kar rahi hai taki hamein bura na lage kyunki humne vo memories kabhi jee hi nhi. Humne fir bhi usse kaha ki humse share kar le, humare liye ignore mat kar par vo fir bhi nhi maani, toh hamein laga ki shayad vo bhi apne parents ko miss kar rahi hogi kyunki vo mangalore mein hain, isliye humne uss se aage nhi pucha. (His eyes became teary.) Humne ek pal ke liye bhi nhi socha tha ki usne itna bada dard chupa rakha hai. Par usne hamein ye baat kyun nhi batayi?

CHACHI: Kyunki, vo apna dard tum sab ko bata kar tum sab ko dukhi nhi karna chahti thi. Tum sab khud hi bhut time baad khush huye the, toh vo kaise tum sab ko vo sab bata kar fir se dukhi kar deti? Aur usse kisi ki sympathy bhi nhi pasand. (Mukti became angry by listening the word sympathy.)

MU: Chachi, Sympathy? Usse aisa laga ki hum usse sympathy dikhayenge? Vo aisa soch bhi kaise sakti hai? Vo jaan hai hamari, hum usse sympathy kyun dikhayenge. Humne bhi toh bina kuch soche-samjhe uske saath sab share kiya na, toh fir usne kyun nhi kia? 

CHACHI: Mukti, tum galat samajh rahi ho. Main tum sab ki baat nhi kar rahi thi. Main baki sab ki baat kar rahi thi. Usne kabhi ye kisi ko nhi bataya kyunki usse kisi ki sympathy nhi chahiye thi. Aur usse ab tum sab mile jo uski family ho, vo tum sab se bhut pyaar karti hai aur tum sab ko humesha khush dekhna chahti hai. Usse pata hai ki tum sab kabhi usse sympathy nhi dikhaoge, balki usse support karega, uska pain share karoge, par vo ye bhi janti hai ki tum sab usse bhut pyaar karte ho aur vo nhi chahti ki uske pain ki vajah se tum sab sad ho, usse dard mein dekhkar tum bhi upset ho jao. Bas isiliye, usne tum sab ko kuch nhi bataya kyunki vo tum sab se pyaar karti hai aur janti hai ki tum sab bhi usse bhut pyaar karte ho. (Mukti started crying realising that her chotti love her so much but now manik became angry. Actually, he wasn't angry, he just felt bad that she didn't tell him anything about her pain.)

M: Angel ne hamein iss layak nhi samjha ki vo humse ye share kare? Apna dard baantein hamare saath? Usne ek baar nhi socha ki humse share kare, hum uski baat sunte, samajhte. Kyun usne itna paraya kar diya hamein?  EK baar humse apna dard share kar kr toh dekhti? (Manik became very emotional and his tears are not stopping.) Itna paraya kar diya usne apne mani ko? 

CHACHI: Manik, aisa nhi hai. Tum nandini ko galat samajh rahe ho. Tum sab pehle se hi toote hue the, bikhare pade the, vo tum sab ko apna dard bata kar aur todna nhi chahti thi. Tum sab bhut mushkil se toh sab kuch bhul kar apni life main aage badhne ki koshish kar rahe the, dil se muskurane lage the, toh vo kaise tumhe sab kuch bata kar fir se sad kar deti. Haan, ho sakta tha ki vo time ke saath khud hi tum sab ko khud aakar sab bata deti. Par abhi vo tum sab ko sab bata kar sad nhi karna chahti thi. (Chachi tried to make him understand but manik wasn't ready to understand because he was guilty that he couldn't realise that nandini is in so much pain. He became emotionally weak now. Jo manik, nandini ki aankhon mein ek aansun nhi dekh sakta aur jab usse pata chale ki usne apni smile ke piche itna dard chupa rakha hai, toh vo hurt toh hoga hi.)

M: Aur usse kya laga ki usse aise sad dekh kar hum khush rahenge? Usse aise takleef mein dekh kar hum apni zindagi khushi ke saath jiyenge?

CHACHI: Manik, usse pata tha ki tum log aisa kuch nhi karoge. Usse pata tha ki usse dard mein dekh kar tum sab bhi royoge, sad hoge aur vo hi toh vo nhi chahti thi, isliye usne tumhe kuch nhi bataya tha. Tum khud hi socho, vo tum sab ki khushi kaise cheen leti, vo bhi tab jab usse pata hai ki ye khushiyan tumhe barson ke baad mili hain ya fir shayad pehli baar tum sab itne khush ho, sukoon mein ho, dil se apni zindagi jee rahe ho. Batao, kaise karti vo ye.

Tum khud hi socho ki agar tum uski jagah hote, toh kya karte? (Manik immediately looked towards chachi.) Kya tum ye jante hue ki vo dil se khush hai, fir bhi jaakar usse apne dil ka dard batate, uski khushi ko uss se cheen te? (Manik don't know what to say because chachi is right. He will never let nandini know of his pain if he knew that nandini is very happy because of something.) Nhi manik, tum bhi usse kuch nhi batate. Haan, usse shayad idea ho jata ki tum uss se kuch chupa rahe ho aur vo tumhara dard jaan jati khud se par tum khud ja kar usse kuch nhi batate, tum puri koshish karte uss se apna dard chupane ki jab tak tum chupa pate aur vo hi usne kiya. Usne apna dard chupane ki koshish ki aur jab tumhe ehsaas hua ki vo kuch chupa rahi hai, toh tumne vo baat janne ki koshish ki. Tum dono galat nhi ho, galat bas haalaat hain. Jab vo thoda sambhalti aur uss haal mein hoti jahan uske liye tumse sab chupana mushkil ho jata ya vo dekhti ki ab sahi time hai tumse sab share karne ka toh vo tumhe aa kar sab bata deti. (Manik still was hurt that why she hide so much pain from him.)

M: Par chachi? (Now chachi made him understand in his way.)

CHACHI: Acha, ye batao ki kal raat tumne nandini se apna saara dard share kiya na? (Manik nodded his head in yes.) Aur agar tumhe pehle se ye baat pata hoti ki nandini itne dard mein hai, ye pata hota ki kal ke din uske amma-appa ki death hui thi, toh kya tum vo sab pain usse batate? (Manik now realised what chachi meant and he stood silent and chachi understood that manik has now realised it.) Bas isiliye, usne kuch nhi bataya tum sab ko. Tum already itne pain mein the toh vo kaise tum sab ko aakar apna pain batati. Tum sab ko laga ki vo khush hai, isiliye tum teenon ne usse apna pain bataya, nhi toh tum bhi usse kabhi kuch nhi batate. Bas vahi usne kiya, usse pata tha ki tum sab khud dard mein ho, isliye usne apna pain tumse share nhi kiya aur tumhari baat suni aur tumhara sara dard dur kar diya aur ab tum sab khush ho aur yahi vo chahti hai ki tum sab humesha khush raho. Aur ab tum sab khush the toh uss mein itni himmat nhi thi ki apna dukh tumhe dikhakar tumhari khushiyan fir se tum se cheen le. Agar tum nandini ki jagah hote, toh tum bhi yahi karte. (They all understood it and cabir asked.)

C: Chachi, shayad ap thk keh rahi ho. Par ye sab hua kaise? (Chachi's tears started flowing remembering that incident.)

CHACHI: Hum sab ki ek bhut hi pyaari family thi, hum sab bhut khush the, hum life ko fully enjoy karte the, main, tumhare chacha, nandini, rishabh, bhaiya, bhabhi aur amms. Hum hamari chotti si family mein bhut khush the par pata nhi kiski nazar lag gayi hamari family ko. Hum sab ghar par the bas bhaiya aur bhabhi bahar kisi ke ghar gaye hue the. Uss din bhut tez baarish ho rahi thi aur.... (Chachi's tears started flowing more.) Aur ghar aate waqt unka kisi truck se accident ho gaya. Ghar pe phone aaya ki unhe hospital le gaye hain. Bacche chotte the toh main unke paas ruk gayi. Tumhare chacha aur amms hospital gaye the. Maine kisi tarah bacchon ko sula diya, unhe kya pata tha ki jab vo aankh kholenge subah toh unke paas maa ka aanchal nhi hoga sone ke liye, pita ka haath nhi hoga thaamne ke liye. 1 ghante baad vo sab ghar aa gaye bhaiya bhabhi ki dead-bodies ke saath. Subah rishabh pehle uth gaya aur ye sab dekh kar, vo shock mein chala gaya, usse bhut bada jhatka laga aur vo behosh ho gaya. Humne turant doctor ko call kia, unhone rishabh ko dekha aur kaha ki iske brain ko bhut bada shock laga hai jis wajah se vo behosh ho gaya hai. 1/2 an hour baad rishabh ko hosh aaya aur vo rone laga. Doctor ne usse check kiya toh pata chala ki iss shock ka uske dimag par bhut gehra asar hua hai, toh ab vo dheere- dheere progree karega. Uss din se rishabh ki tabiyat kharab rehne lagi, uski health weak rehne lagi, vo bhut jaldi bimar padh jata hai, Nandu bachpan se hi rishabh ko lekar protective thi aur iss incident ke baad aur bhi zyada protective ho gai, humesha uski tension leti rehti hai. Jab rishabh zor-zor se rone laga toh uski awaaz sunkar nandu uth gayi aur ghabra gayi aur dodhkar uske kamre mein aa gayi aur usse ek maa ki tarah chup karaya aur usse pyaar se sula diya. Aur jab usse rishabh ke rone ka reason pata chala, toh vo bacchi toot gayi. (All have tears in their eyes. They were crying to their fullest.)

Uski aankhon se aansun ruke hi nhi, bas badhte hi chale gaye. Pehle toh usse yakin hi nhi hua, apni amma-appa ke paas jakar unhe hilane lagi aur kehne lagi ki usse aisa mazak bilkul pasand nhi hai, humne usse bhut samjhane ki koshish ki par vo samajhne ko tyaar hi nhi thi, usse laga jaise ki vo koi sapna dekh rahi hai, jab usne sab try kar liya uss baat ko jhutlane ke liye aur nhi jhutla payi, toh aakhir mein haar maan kar uss kadwe sach ko apna liya aur khud ko kamre mein band kar ke rone lagi. Uski haalat dekhkar hum sab darr gaye, hamari princess thi vo. Humne bhut darwaza khadkaya par usne nhi khola, fir tumhare chacha ji ne dhaka maarkar darwaze ka lock todh diya aur nandu ki vaisi haalat dekh kar, hum sab darr gaye. Nandu ko andhere se bhut darr lagta tha aur uss din vo band kamre mein pura andhera kar kar deewar ke saath ek kone mein lagkar baithi ro rahi thi, uski vo haalat hum mein se kisi se dekhi nhi gayi, usko aisi haalat mein dekh kar hum sab fir se rone lage. Mujhse toh uski vo haalat dekhi nhi gayi aur main dodh kar bahar aa gayi. Tumhare chacha ne, amms ne usse chup karane ki bhut koshish ki par vo chup nhi hui. Fir himmat karke maine bhi koshish ki, par vo nhi maani. Bas ussi haalat mein baithi roti rahi. Itne mein rishabh bhi uth gaya aur vo bhi rone laga aur nandini ko rota dekh, vo aur zyada rone laga par nandini uss haalat mein nhi thi, ki usse sambhal sake, fir maine usse sambhala. Fir kisi tarah usse samjha kar, humne bhaiya-bhabhi ki aakhiri rasmein ki. (All were feeling immense pain in their heart realising their jaan's pain and for manik, it's like his world stopped all there. He wanted to believe that it's all wrong, it's just a dream par ye sachai hai jisse vo chahkar bhi juthla nhi sakta. Sirf ye sochkar ki nandini ne ye sab saha, uske aansun aur badh gaye. He felt like his heart will stop beating realising nandini's pain which she suffered.)

Vo fir se kamre mein jaakar vaise hi rone lagi. Subah se shaam ho gayi usse aise hi rote hue, hum sab darr gaye the ki kahin uski tabiyat kharab na ho jaye. Maine bhut koshish ki usse kuch khilane ki, usse sulane ki, par vo nhi maani. Maine rishabh ko khana khilakar usse sula diya aur fir nandini ke paas chali aayi. Puri raat main uske paas hi baithi rahi aur tumhare chacha ji rishabh ke paas. Agla pura din bhi aise hi beet gaya, usne kuch nhi khaya, pani ki ek boond tak nhi pi, bas roti hi rahi. Par thi toh insaan hi bhuki pyaasi roti roti kab so gayi, usse bhi pata nhi chala. Hamein thoda sukoon mila ki aakhir kaar ye thoda soyegi toh thoda thk ho jayegi. Aur vo din tha, jab vo subah uthi toh vo bilkul badal gayi. Voh hamari purani wali nandu nhi thi, vo bilkul badal gayi thi. (Chachi bursted out in tears.) (They all have tears in their eyes feeling nandini's pain and most vulnerable was manik. He was like that his all sensed stopped right there. Uske dil ka dard bas badhta hi ja raha tha. Aur ho bhi kyun na, uski angel ne, uski soulmate ne itna dard jo saha tha aur vo kuch nhi kar paya uske liye.) (Chachi looked to them and asked them.)

CHACHI: Tumhe pata h uss time nandu ki umar kya tha? (They all were standing silent. They have no courage to speak anything and chach's next words were like a bomb for them and for manik, they were like someone has thrown acid on his already burning heart.) 8 saal ki thi meri bacchi. (They all gasped hearing it. Chachi bursted out in tears. Their eyes became more teary. They don't know what to say, what to do.) Haan, 8 saal ki thi vo aur rishabh 3 saal ka tha tab. Aur meri bacchi 8 saal se ye dard apne dil mein chupaye baithi hai. Kisi ke saamne apna dard nhi kholti, hamare saamne bhi nhi... (Chachi couldn't bear more and collapsed down on the floor. Navya holded her and took her to sofa and gave her water to drink. They all were having tears.)

(For navya, she was feeling ki jis ladki ne itni himmat karke uske liye fab5 se ladai ki, usne itna dard chupa rakha hai apne dil mein. For cabir, he wasn't able to believe what he heard, His small little doll has suffered so much pain ki jiski depth vo kabhi imagine bhi nhi kar sakta. For mukti, she was like ki kaise uski chotti ne itna kuch saha aur ab tak seh rahi hai, apne dil mein dabaye baithi hai.)

(And For manik, his whole world stopped right there. He was feeling like ki jaise vo khud nandini ka dard jee raha ho aur feel kar raha ho aur uss waqt vo vahan se bhaag jana chahta tha, vo dard uss se saha nhi ja raha tha, usse aisa lag raha tha ki vo ek aur saans nhi le payega iss dard mein, vo ye soch raha tha ki agar sirf uski angel ka dard mehsoos karke uska ye haal hai, toh uski angel itna dard itne saalon se kaise bardasht kar rahi hai, kaise apne dil mein chupaye baithi hai, kaise... His tears were not stopping at all.. He was just crying and crying realising his angel, his jaan, his life, his love, his soulmate, his nandini's pain.)
