He glared
first at the smiling faces of his parents and then at the baby girl in his
mother's lap.
"Aao
baita, yeh tumhari behan hai" His father called him but he nodded his head in
denial,
"No , She
is not my sister, meri behan sirf Anjali Di hain aur bus" He ran towards his room while his 10 years old sister went
after him and his parents looked at each other distressed at their son's
behavior
********************************
"Anjali
baita tum samjhao usse, tumhari baat toh manta hai na woh" Neha was trying to
talk with him from two days but he refused to talk anyone except Anjali so for
a last hope she asked Anjali to make him understand
"Maa main
ne bohat baar koshish ki per woh yeh baat sun'na hi nahi chahta" Anjali told
her as she was trying to speak with him of this matter but every time she tried
he changed the topic
"Pata nahi
kya hogaya hai iss larke ko, itni zid toh nahi kerta tha, usse yeh samajhna
hoga ke Khushi ab iss ghar ka aur hamari zindagi ka hissa hai" Neha sighed and
Anjali hopelessly looked at her
********************************
4 Years
Later:
Arnav's
Age:12 Years
Anjali's Age:
14 Years
Khushi's
Age: 5 Years
It was day
of Rakshahbandhan and for the first time Khushi made three Rakhis by her own.
Anjali trained her how to prepare one. Everyone in the house was praising her
hand made Rakhis but he was sitting in a corner with a stiff face. She ran to
him and showed him Rakhis,
"Arnav
Bhiya yeh hum ne khud bnai hai aap ke, Aakash Bhai aur NK bhai ke liye" He once
looked at Rakhis in her hand and then at her innocent face where he can clearly
read the expectation of praise from him, He in a second of time took Rakhis
from her hands and throw them as far as he can,her face turned red and tears
glistening in her eyes
"Aaj last
time main tum se keh raha hoon Aakash aur NK ko Rakhi bandhani ho toh shouq se
bandho, meri behan sirf Anjali Di hain tum nahi" He said harshly and she
started sobbing loud, no one was in the living room for now so no one witnessed
all this
"Per Arnav Bhiya ..." Before she could complete
he got up and hold her neck tightly as if he get the chance to get rid of her
"I'm not
your brother" He grinned and pressed her neck hard till she suffocated and
choked hardly. He left her there as he saw Anjali entering the room
Anjali did
not see Arnav leaving but as she saw a crying Khushi with her hands on her neck
she ran to her.
"Khushi ...
Khushi kya hua hai" She sat beside her and rubbed her back but she unable to
speak anything tightly hugged Anjali
"Khushi ..
kya ... Maa ... Papa ..." Anjali getting worried shouted and Neha and Kinshuk
rushed to the living room
"Khushi ...
Kya hua hai isse?" Neha worriedly asked Anjali who was crying now seeing Khushi
in such a state
"Mama" As
Khushi saw Neha she hugged her tightly, "Mama humain darr lag raha hai ... Woh ... Woh ..." She hide her face in her lap
"Sssh kuch
nahi hai baita, koi nahi hai daikho tumhari Mama, Papa aur Di yaheen hain
tumhare pass" Neha soother her
"Aur Arnav
Bhiya ..." Neha looked at Kinshuk and he sighed
"Woh bhi
yaheen hain apne room mein" He said
Neha
picked her up and take her to her room, "Chalo main apni gurriya ko tyar ker
doon"
"Per Mama
hamari Rakhi" She looked in the room and as Anjali followed her gaze she
understand everything
"Main
Khushi ki Rakhi le aati hoon, tum tyar ho jao" She smiled innocently
********************************
First
Anjali tied Rakhi to Arnav as after Anjali he was the elder, after that Aakash
and then NK. Arnav give a beautiful pen to Anjali, Aakash and NK both give her
the DVDs of her favorite movies along with chocolates.
"Chalo
Khushi baita ab tum Rakhi bandho pehle Arnav ko" Kinshuk said and holding her
hand take her to Arnav. Khushi looked at him afraid and then she looked at her
father
"Papa hum
se Arnav Bhiya ki rakhi gum gayee" She put her head down. Everyone silenced for
a while, Anjali break this silence
"Koi baat
nahi Khushi, Chotte toh tumhain gift de ga hi na, Hai na Chotte" Not to create
any scene in front of family Arnav silently gave her a chocolate box and a pen.
Khushi holding these things surprised for a moment and then forgetting what he
did earlier hugged him
"Thank you
Arnav Bhiya" Arnav slightly pushed her away but she did not take any notice of
it she was happy that Arnav gave her something
"Mujhe test prepare kerna hai so excuse me" He left from
there
********************************
He was
looking at the reports of his wife in disbelief this cannot happen to her, she
was perfectly fine then what is all this.
"Neha ...
yeh ... .. Nahi ..." She hugged her husband while crying
Neha was
diagnosed with brain tumor and that with the last stage of it she has only two
months of her life at maximum, and in this short period she wanted to do
something for her children. She wanted to see them secure and safe. Her major
concern was Khushi because she knew that after her; life will not be easy for
Khushi.
She shared her thoughts with Kinshuk and the solution she
gave was unacceptable for him but after her lot of convincing he agreed to do
this
********************************
When Arnav
heard about it he said no to it straightly,
"I'm not a
kid anymore, mujhe kya pata nahi hai ke aap log kya kerna chah rahe hain" They
all came to see Neha in the hospital Anjali and Arnav broke down to hear about
their mother's disease, Khushi wasn't mature enough to understand all these
things. Anjali told her that Maa is going on some trip for a few days and she
believed it though she could not sleep without Neha but Anjali was taking care
of her just like Neha. Now when Neha asked Arnav what she was thinking he was
refusing to do it
"Please Arnav baita, apni maa ki aakhri khawahish samajh ke
hi sahi" She pleaded and Arnav felt like someone cut her heart into pieces and
he cannot deny it anymore.
