Nina- ( we came with Steve. Dr Steve was standing on one side and kept looking at them. sameer and samar were sitting on the couch. Alay was feeding Ishu, who held his neck With one hand and the other hand was holding his shirt tightly)
Ishu- tum khao.Alay bhuka hai.
Alay- Aap khalo pehle, me baadme kha lunga.
Nina- ishu
Ishu-Â mom.
don't come near. Dont touch.
Alay- Relax ishu.
Ishu- Alay ulti aari hai..
Alay- ( I kept the plate and took him to the washroom. He vomited everything he ate. I helped him wash his mouth and made him sit on the bed)
Baba, Dr ko bula dijiye please.
Steve- Relax , it's normal in his condition.
Alay- Or aap?
Steve- Steve naam hai mera. I am a psychiatrist. After he sleeps come meet me.
Ishu- No, alay meko chod ke mat jaana.
Alay- Nahi jaunga. Let's talk later.
But why you say this is normal?
Steve- because he has been starved. Itne waqt se khana nahi mila tha or suddenly he is eating. Uski body reverse effect de rahi hai, so he vomited.
Ek do din me his body will be normal and start accepting the food. Don't stop feeding just because he vomited.
Alay- Thanks. Orange juice piyoge aap? achha lagega.
( he emptied the whole glass)
Ishu- sleepy.
Alay- Then sleep.
Ishu- Nahi, Alay chala jayega.
Alay- Nahi jaunga. Dekho yahin hu, apke paas.
( I kept running my hand through his hair and he kept his head on my chest. )
Kabir- he slept. Jaake khalo kuch. And Steve se baat kar lena.
Samar- ( alay made him sleep properly and went to meet the Dr.
Kabir went out and I followed him)
Kabir rukiye. Please maaf kar dijiye. Me nahi seh sakta ab or. Please Kabir.
Kabir- ( he kept crying on my chest and finally I held him close to me.)
toh kyu jaate ho mere against. Jaante bhi ho kya feel karta hu me jab tum is tarah behave karte ho? Ishu is haal me sirf sirf sameer ki zid k wajahse hai. Alay dur hogaya tumse. Yeh sahi hai? Bolona.
Samar- Sab galat hai manta hu me. Par me majboor tha. Bhai ne kahaa..
Kabir- toh koi or raasta nikalte. Vani se kehte, ethan tha yahan. Atleast woh bachha is haal me nahi hota samar.
sameer hamara relationship ek example ki tarah use kar raha tha and you got convinced that alay and ishu should not get married. Kya kharabi hai hamare shaadi me? Ke tumse pyaar nahi hai mujhe? Dhoka diya, ya abusive hu?
Samar- Nahi, bilkul bhi nahi.
Kabir- toh kyu defend nahi kiya uske samne. It hurts samar. Me tumhare khilaaf sirf tab tha jab tumne bachhe ki zid ki thi and woh bhi isliye because you were at risk. Uske alawa kabhi tumhe hurt nahi kiya hai mene. Haan jis tarah shaadi ki woh sahi nahi tha, but woh pehli Or akhri galti thi meri
Sab jaante hona? Ki kaise shaadi hue and kya reason tha? Fir bhi mere against khade ho jaate ho.
Samar- ( I hugged him tightly)
Nahi jaunga kabhi bhi apke khilaaf Kabir. Me dar gaya tha. Mujhe laga bhai sahi hai.
Kabir- Shh, bus ab. Ab pura dhyan ishaan pe hona chahiye hamara.
Samar- Alay hates me.
Kabir- He doesn't. Subah hi tumhare bareme pucha usne. Koi bachha yeh seh nahi sakta ki uski maa uske against hai. Usne bus pyaar hi toh kiya hai.
Samar- Me bohot bura hu na?
Kabir- mera samar bohot achha hai isliye sameer ne fayda uthaya hai. Dobara kisiki bhi baat maanne se pehle sahi or galat ko tolna. Thik hai?
Samar- I love you Kabir. Please mujhse dur mat rahiye. I can't live like this.
Kabir- I love you more.
Samar- Mera Alay, mujhe wapas chahiye Kabir.
Kabir- ( woh Kabir ban chuka hai samar)
Jaake aaram karo. Go inside.
Samar- ( I snuggled more into him)
Apke paas rehna hai bus thodi der.
Kabir- thik hai, ander chalte hai.
( I sat on the couch and he was still hugging me. Nina was staring at ishu's sleeping face)
IN STEVE'S CABIN-
Steve- Please sit. Mene apke dad or ishan ki mom ko yeh baat batai hai.
Ishaan ko akela nahi rehne de sakte hai. It's risky looking at the current scenario. Uska mental trauma, will surely lead to nightmares and getting scared from even small things. Past patients me dekha hai yeh sab.
You have to be very patient Alay. He will be clingy and like a baby. Tumhare paas rehna, sona, khana, bus tum chahiye hoge usse. Mene dekha hai log tang aa jaate hai. Hopefully you won't.
Alay- ( ab isse kya batau, ki jaan hai woh meri. Unko chhodne ka toh sawal hi nae uthta)
Iska koi ilaaj toh hoga na? I don't want him to be like this. Mujhe mere pehle wale ishu chahiye.
Steve- Waqt lagega Alay. Dheere dheere wapas lana hoga usko. Sab ek din me nahi ho sakta.
Meds help but love, affection and environment helps more. Show him that he is safe now, he is free to eat, walk around and mostly that he is loved and at home.
Alay- I will. Unke sessions?
Steve- Abhi nahi. Once he is ishu again, bring him. Because only that ishaan can share ki uspe kya guzri hai and kaise yeh sab start hua. Only he can let it out.
Alay- Hmm. Thank you so much Dr Steve.
Steve- ( he went out of my office)
Ishan is one lucky guy. That he has a person who gets sad and cry for him.
IN ISHU'S ROOM-
Alay- ( I entered and saw baba and maa sitting together.)
Baba, I am going to get coffee.
Samar- Mere liye bhi le aao.
Alay- Ask your family.
Samar- ( I got up and slapped him)
Maa hu na me. Bete ho mere. Family ho.
How can you hate me so much? Don't hate me baby please. Maaf kardo. I beg you.
Alay- ( he was hitting my chest and then kept his head on my chest and started crying. I held him close to me)
Shh, bus ab. Ek coffee ke liye itna drama. Le aunga.
Samar- Maaf kardo alay. I was wrong. Bohot badi galti hogae tumhari maa se.
Alay- Hmm, jaanta hu.
( I hugged him tightly and kissed his head. Lekin apke bhai ko toh saza milni banti hai. But I will be behind the scene maa. Bohot shauk hai na paise kamane ka. Me bhi dekhta hu kaise kamate hai ab yeh)
Kabir- ( kya chalra hai iske dimaag me. My phone pinged. It was a text from Ethan. )
Alay, chalo coffee or chai leke aate hai.
AT THE CANTEEN-
Kabir- samar maaf nahi karega agar sameer ko nuksaan pohchaya toh.
Alay- Or unhe kon batayega ki yeh mene kiya hai? Mere baba toh mere khilaaf bilkul nahi jayenge.
Kabir- tumhe lagta hai, that you can hide this? ( he smirked while thinking something)
Alay- Let's order.
IN ISHU'S ROOM-
Samar- ( i moved towards bhabhi. I was hesitant but then kept my hand on her shoulder.
She turned her head and cried keeping her head on me. Maybe she realised, so she was pushing me but I hugged her and didn't let her go)
Please bhabhi, I am sorry. Me maanta hu bohot badi galti hue hai mujhse. Me zindagi bhar maafi maanguga aapse. Par please mujhe dur mat kariye.
Nina- Mera ishu samar. Mera bachha. Dekhona kya haal kiya hai us janwar ne mere bachhe ka.
Kitna khush rehta tha mera ishu, ab apne hi family se dar raha hai. Apni mom ko dur rehne keh raha hai.
Kabir- Woh tumse nahi tumhare liye dar raha hai.
Sameer- Kya matlab?
Kabir- Rajat ne dhamka kar rakha tha itne time se. Usne ishu se kaha ki agar usne gharpe kuch bhi kaha toh woh tumhe nuksaan pohchayega.
Isliye ishan chup tha or bus khush hone ka natak karta raha. Samar yeh lo or nina ke sath tum bhi khalo.
Samar- bhai aap bhi khalo please.
Sameer- Mera mann nahi hai. Tum or nina khalo.
Alay- Dad I am going home. Vani akeli hai wahan. Me dekh aata hu usko.
Kabir- Sath le aao. Vani ke sath iska reaction pata chalega.
( I saw the time and it was around 7:30 pm. Yeh ladka aaya nahi ab tak, agar ishu uth gaya toh pakka rona shuru karega)
Vani- Baba.
Kabir- Mera bachha. Thik ho? Khana khaya tha na thikse?
Vani- Ji baba. Bhai kaise hai ab?
Kabir- ( I told her everything)
toh agar woh dare tumse toh tum himmat rakhna. Be patient with him. Thik hai?
Vani- Ji baba. I promise to take care of him. Bhaiyu don't worry, apke ishu ko kuch nahi hoga.
Alay- Hone bhi nahi dunga.
Sameer- ( I felt so alone. samar fed me those sandwiches. Nina wasn't even looking at me. I know I am wrong, but mujhe nahi pata tha ki mera bachha is haal me hoga)
Vani- Mamu himmat rakhiye aap.
( he hugged me and kissed my head)
Sameer- Meri gudiya. Shukriya.
Nina- ( I moved away from him as he was waking up)
Uthne laga hai woh. Alay baitho wahan jaldi. Alay kahan hai?
Vani- Bhaiyu washroom me gaye just abhi.
Ishu- Alay... Mom mera Alay kahan gaya?
Nina- ( he kept looking around and then his eyes went to sameer)
Ishu- Apne Alay ko mujhse le liya? Kahan gaya woh? Please wapas dedo mera Alay.
Vani- ( he was about to cry)
Bhai, bhaiyu washroom me hai. Abhi aa jayenge.
Ishu- Meri princess. Come here.
Nina- ( everyone relaxed as he called her close) jao beta.
Vani- bhai aap kaise ho?
Ishu- my princess. Mom dekhona princess kitni pyaari hai.
Vani- Thanks bhai. Ap bhi bohot cute ho.
( he kissed my head. And held my hand softly. Suddenly he left my hand)
Ishu- Kahan gaye the? Mujhe bataya kyu nahi?
Alay- washroom gaya tha. Baby you met your bhai?
Ishu- Isse baby mat kaho na. Me hu tumhara baby. Yeh toh hamari princess hai.
Alay- Sorry, abse nahi khaunga. She is my princess.
Ishu- Mujhe bhi toh kaho.
Alay- my baby. Kya khayenge aap?
Ishu- kuch bhi chalega.
Vani- Chaliye sab sath me khate hai yahan. Bhaiyu, sabke liye lekar aana.
( isi bahane aaj itne time baad sab sath me khayenge)
Alay- Thik hai.
Ishu- kisi or se keh do na. Tum mat jao.
Vani- Me hu na bhai yahan.
Ishu- Alay chahiye.
Kabir- Baitho yahan me le aata hu.
Alay- Baba lekin..
Ishu- Haan Alay baitho, baba le ayenge
Kabir- ( I stopped in my track and turned to look at him. Everyone was shocked listening this. As he never called me this. He always refer to me as bade papa.)
Nina- ( bhai recovered from the shock and went out to get food)
Ishu, bhai ko baba kyu kaha? Woh toh bade papa hai na.
Ishu- Alay ke baba mere baba. Haina Alay? Bolona, mere bhi baba hai na?
Alay-hmm, bilkul.
Everyone had dinner together and were talking with ishu. He answered everyone but never left Alay's side. He didn't go close to them nor did he let anyone touch him.
When the Dr came for check up he held Alay tightly. The nurse was asked to apply medicine on his back and ankle but he didn't let her. He moved back completely and curled himself up against Alay leaving everyone stunned by this.
Finally Alay interfered looking at his scared face. He ask the way to apply it and took the ointment from the nurse. He applied those himself with teary eyes. He wanted to kill Rajat a hundred times. Ishu whimpered as the ointment was put on him. Alay kept the back buttons open so that the ointment can get absorbed. He applied med on his ankle as well and wrapped it up carefully.
Kabir took everyone home and like yesterday only nina and Alay were staying. Ishu asked Alay to lay down with him. Alay looked at nina who nodded her head. Ishu kept his head on Alay's chest and asked him to run his fingers like he did earlier.
Nina was happy that at least her son was alive and doing much better than yesterday. She thanked God for saving her son.
BUT EVERYONE WAS SCARED FOR THE FUTURE.
