"Shaan mujhe tumse kuch baat krni thi... Shaurya aur Anokhi ke bare m..."
Shaan sighs
"Shaurya ne fir kuch kaha Anokhi ko?
Ye ladka kabhi nhi sudhar sakta..., Itni pyari aur talented bachi h pr nhi use to bas ladne ke bahane chahiye!"
"Shaan!! mujhe baat shuru to krne do"
Aastha holds his hand in order to stop him, Shaan looks at her hand and again becomes nostalgic
"Kash ye baatein kabhi khatam hi na ho... (Pause)
"Acha pehle yaha aaram se betho"
He pull out a chair for her, handed her a cup of coffee and both get seated
"Kya tumne Shaurya ke behaviour m kuch changes notice kiye h?" Aastha said
"Kese changes?" Shaan asked
"Jb bhi vo Anokhi ke sath hota h... how he reacts...?"
"Nothing specific, even jbse Shimla se vapas aae h, sath to kya dono ek dusre ke aas pass bhi nhi dikhte... Vese acha hi h roz roz ladne se to acha h ki ek dusre se dur rhe dono"
"Shaan jesa tum soch rhe ho vesa bilkul nhi h... (pause)
Mujhe lgta h vo dono ek dusre ko pasand krte h!"
"Pasand?"
"Han Shaan aaj dance studio m bohot kuch dekha, suna aur samjha h maine.. jis tarah vo sath m dance kr rhe the, aur unki baatein... maine jo dekha vo galat nhi ho skta Shaan... unme aaj maine 30 saal pehle vale Shaan-Aastha ki jhalak dekhi..
Vahi jazba, vahi josh, vahi pyaar-"
Shaan couldn't hear it more
"Aur kahani?? Uska anjam!??
Vo bhi Shaan-Aastha ki tarah? Haina!!?"
He didn't wanted this to be true, he didn't wanted his son to suffer the same way he did and still is
"Nahi Shaan!"
"Kya nahi Aastha? Mai nhi chahta ki tumne jo bhi abhi kaha ya samjha vo sach ho! Mai nhi chahta ki Shaurya Anokhi bhi Shaan Aastha bankar reh jae Mai nhi chahta, humara parivar fir akhbaro aur news channels ki headline bane! humare ghar ki izzat ko, humare ghar ki bahu ko fir sare-aam badnaam kiya jae jese 25 saal pehle tumhe kiya gya tha... Noor!!"
Pain, yearning, helplessness was evident in his eyes he hasn't even recovered yet from his sufferings only and now he just can't see his son going on the same path
"Aur tumhe kyu lagta h jo us samay hua vo sb dubara hoga" Aastha questioned
"25 saal pehle bhi vo sb hua nhi tha! krvaya gya tha!!
Aur jin logo ne krvaya tha vo aaj bhi yahin h!
Aur unki soch bhi vahi h!
Kuch nhi bdla h Noor
Sab kuch vesa ka vesa hi h..!"
"Kirdar badle h Shaan!
Na hi Anokhi mere jesi haar manne valo m se h
Aur na hi Shaurya tumhare jesa kamzor!"
"Agar vo vakai ek dusre se pyar krte h to mai zarur chahunga ki tumhari baat sach ho... unhe vo sari khushiya mile jo humari taqdeer m nhi thi...
Pr mai apne bete ko tadapta nhi dekh sakta... Vese hi bohot dukh jhele h usne..."
Both wanted happiness for their children, one was happy for their feelings that were brewing while other was concerned for their emotions being destroyed by their own people in near future
"Ab mujhe chalna chahiye Shaan...
Coffee ke liye thanks..."
A meeting that took place after 25 years... from reminiscing their past to protecting thier children's future, everything discussed, except the ways of mending their own relationship, the spark that ignited seeing her, was fading again watching her retreating...
