AFTER 15 DAYS-
Alay- I have read the files and everything seems good to me. Go ahead and also arrange the meeting with the team who is gonna work on this project.
I wanna meet the project manager who has been appointed for this purpose. Let's make it quick and then we can go ahead with the further process.
PA- Sure sir. Also, you have a meeting with Mr. Jones.
Alay- He cancelled that. I received a text from him. And keep the slot free. Don't arrange any other meeting.
PA- I will...
Alay- You can go.
Yeh kya tarika hai? Aise behave kabse karne lage aap? Waise zyada shock nahi hu me.
Sameer- Stop this Alay.
Alay- Kyu dar lag raha hai? You were so confident while challenging me. Kahan gayab hua woh ghamand?
Sameer- dekho...
Alay- Bohot dekh liya hai. Now you sit back and enjoy.
Yeh drama aapne hi toh shuru kiya hai. You wanted this and you should be happy for that.
Sameer- kya milega yeb sab karke?
Alay- Yeh bhi koi sawal hua. Khair, I have meeting to attend. Excuse me.
( I came out of my cabin and went for the meeting)
ON THE OTHER SIDE-
Nina- Itni jaldi ghar aa gaye. Kaam nahi hai kya?
Ishu- Pehle kuch khane k liye dedo. Bhuk lagi hai.
Sameer- nina ek cup chai banado please.
Ishu- ( he went inside his room)
Mom let me make it.
Nina- Ishu kab tak unhe manane ka irada hai? He is not gonna say yes.
Ishu- I will try mom. Let me take this.
( I took the cup and went inside his room. He has already freshened up and was sitting on the sofa near the window)
Dad, apki chai.
Sameer- Ishu, bachche come sit here.
Chai tumne banai hai?
Ishu- yes dad. You look tired.
Sameer- Haan bus thak gaya hun thoda. Tumne kuch khaya ya nahi?
Ishu- I will eat later. Aaj aap office se jaldi nikal gaye the. Where were you?
Sameer- Ek dost se milne gaya tha. All good in office?
Ishu- Yes dad and the project is at a good pace. Things are good.
Sameer- the team likes you. They feel comfortable working with you.
I am proud of you beta.
Ishu- Thanks dad. I made a new painting. It's beautiful.
Sameer- I am sure it is. Baadme dikhana mujhe. ( he nodded)
Ishu- Dad woh apse baat karni thi. Woh..
Sameer- kya baat hai?
Ishu- I love him dad. Please try to understand. I will do anything for you. Just accept it.
Sameer- he is in a relationship ishu. Kyu dikhta nahi hai tumhe. He is happy and is roaming around with that guy.
And here you are stuck in the past. Get over him and start a new life. You are doing so good. It's amazing to see you working hard and following your dreams. Keep doing that.
Ishu- He is my dream dad. I wanna have a future with him. I..
Sameer- ENOUGH.... Just go and eat something. This discussion ends here.
Ishu- ( I came out of his room and went in the backyard. I was sitting on the swing when I felt someone sitting beside him)
Kabir- Udaas kyu ho? Kuch hua hai?
Ishu- baba kya pyaar karna itna difficult hai? Is it a sin to love someone and dreaming a future with them?
Kabir- Kya kaha sameer ne? Aise mat dekho, ek wahi hai joh is rishte ke khilaaf hai.
Ishu- He doesn't wanna hear anything. He is so against this relationship. Mujhe dar hai kahi Alay ko khona du.
Kabir- Alay ke bina reh loge?
Ishu- baba please aise mat boliye.
Kabir- Simple sa sawal kiya hai mene. Uske bina reh sakte ho?
Ishu- dar lagta hai sochke bhi. Me maanta hu baba ki mene bohot galtiyaan ki hai. But me bus apne dad ko khush dekhna chahta tha. Mene sacrifice kardiya but sabse zyada taklif Alay ko di hai.
But I love him. It hurts looking at the distance he has created. It hurts when I see him answering those secret calls and if I am correct it's steve. It hurts to see the person you love giving importance to someone else.
Kabir- Agar Alay tumhe na kahega toh kya karoge?
( he paled at my question)
Ishu- aisa bilkul nahi hoga.
Kabir- Or agar hua toh kya karoge?
Ishu- I will make sure he is happy. I will always be there for him and would take care of his happiness.
Me uska sath ek achhe dost ki tarah zindagi bhar nibhaunga. Kabhi un dono ke bich nahi aunga.
Kabir- hmm.
Ishu- Baba please dad ko samjhane me meri help kariye.
Kabir- tumhari ladai hai yeh. Kab tak kisi ka sahara loge?
Ladna sikhoge toh protect kar paoge, khudko bhi or jisse pyaar karte ho usse bhi. Raasta asaan nahi hota hai ishu. Agar apne haq or pyaar ke liye ladna hai toh har kisiko khush rakhne ka khayal nikaalna padta hai apne dil or dimaag se.
Ek waqt tha jab mene samar ki safety k liye bohot hi sakht faisla liya tha. That did hurt him but later he understood my intentions. It made us close. We are here now. We both made mistakes but we never left each other.
Yeh sab isiliye keh raha hu taaki tum samjho. Jis raaste pe chalne ka faisla kar rahe ho woh asaan nahi hoga. Agar rote rahe toh sab kho dogo. Mazboot bano. Don't let anyone emotionally blackmail you and take advantage of your emotions
Sahi or galat me fark karna sikho.
Ishu- ( I hugged him tightly. Kaash dad bhi aise baatein karte mujhse)
Thanks baba. I promise to be strong and fight for him. I won't give up on him. I know he loves me baba.
Kabir- sameer k khilaaf khade ho paoge agar woh nahi maana?
( he was in deep thoughts. He loves sameer alot. Asaan nahi hoga iske liye yeh sab)
Go and rest.
It was dinner time and like always Ishu was waiting for Alay. He heard the bike enter and started heating the food. He saw Alay leaning on the door of the kitchen.
Ishu- ( I hugged him and kissed his cheeks)
Welcome home. Fresh ho jao fir dinner karenge.
Alay- I already ate ishu. Ap khalo.
Ishu- oh ok.
( he went from there. I had a chapati as I lost my appetite. I kept everything in fridge and went upstairs. I opened his door and saw him sleeping. He looks tired.
I sat beside him and ran my fingers through his hair. I kissed his head and went to my room.
Whatever baba said is still roaming in my head. It scares me to think of it. Mera Alay bus mujhse dur naa jaye. I will do everything in my power to keep him close to me.)
