Seven year old,She didn't know meaning of death at the that age.She had easily believed at her mother when she told her that father went to met God as he has an important work there.She thought that his father will return back after completing his job.
He tries to kill himself at that age .What make him to take that drastic step and why Maa is saying that she is the reason behind his step?

"Dipti ke message per mujhe yakin nhi hua. Mujhe lga ki wo koi mazak kar rahi hai.Per dusri taraf laga ki wo aaisi halat me sirf majak karne ke liye ek navjaat ko chhor kar kyu jayegi."Said Smita after pause."  Mai apne khyalo ko side me rakhte hue uss bachhe ki Taraf gayi.Aur jaise hi maine usse dekha meri chikh nikal aayi aur mai wahi behosh ho gyi.Uski aankhe bilkul nili thi ."
Ananya flinches as she recall his blue eyes without eye ball.

"Saari raat mere beta apni iss Maa ke liye tarapta rha .Aur uski Maa ,uski Maa usse dekhne ki himmat nhi kar payi.Use ussi halat me ,ussi  gandagi me chhor kar chali gayi. Mai aur Mahesh sari raat sochte rahe ki hum kya kare aur ant me humne faisla kiya ki hum usse police me de denge.Hume dar tha ki agar wo khatarnak nikla to.Ek Navjaat aur khatarnak " She chuckles sarcastically." Mahesh police ko phone lagane hi jaa rahe the ki uss nahi si jaan ka sabr tut gya .Wo apni Maa ko ro kar bulane lga.Uski Kilkari jab humare kano me pari tab hume ehsaas hua ki wo koi raste me pra hua khilona nhi hai.Ek jeeta jagta bachha hai.Jisko pyar ki Maa ki jarurat hai.Hum agar usse police me de denge to pta nhi police kya karegi.Uski Kilkari humare antarman ko jhakjhor rahi thi aur ant me Maa ke samne insaan ka dar har gya .Mai apne bete ke pass gyi aur usse apni god me liya.Meri god me lete hi wo chup ho gya.Uski Aankhe dekh kar mera dil kappa lekin uski muskan ne mere man me jo ehsaas diya wo sabdo se uper tha.Maa hone ka ehsaas. "Said Smita wiping her tears."Dhire dhire uski aankho me kuch badlav hone lage aur usne apni aankhe ko bilkul meri aankhein jaisa bna liya"

Ananya never notice that Dev's eyes are just like his mother.

"Mahesh ko ab bhi dar tha . Wo ballu ko apna nhi paye the per maine apna liya tha aur Mahesh ne mere faisle ko apna liya .Maa banne ke baad Bhagwaan ne mere jivan me DUBARA MAA banane ki khushi de di."Said Smita with smile while Ananya looks at her shocked. Dev has a sibling and she doesn't have any idea about that.

"Ballu ke janam ke ek saal ke ander hi mujhe ye khuskhabri mili aur Ballu ki do saal pure hone se pehle hi iss ghar me uski ek behan aa gyi .MEHAR naam tha uska .Ballu ki ladli thi .Khud to do saal ke the per Mehar harkate aaise thi ki kitne bade bujurg ho.   Janab ko khud apni pant pehnane nhi aata tha per Mehar ki khayal aaise rakhta tha jaise wo koi kach ki gudiya ho .Mehar ke aane ke baad Ballu khush ro bahut tha lekin usse Mahesh ki udasinta samajh aane lagi thi .Pehle Mahesh Ballu ke pass nhi rehte the to Ballu ko fark nhi parta tha per Mehar ke aane ke baad jab Mahesh Mehar per pyar lutate hue dekhta tha to usse bura lagta tha.  .Saat saal me unhone ek baar bhi usse god me nhi liya ." Said Smita with a deep breath and continues .

"Ek din Mai Ballu aur Mehar ko chhor kar Mahesh ke saath  Doctor ke pass gayi thi.Ek nayi khushi ki aane ki umeed thi .Mehar bhi badi behan banne wali thi. Mai idhar iss khushi ko sunane Ghar ke liye nikli aur idhar ...

Flashback starts.

"Mehar tu uper kyu gayi tujhe lag jati to." Scolded little Dev to her  younger sister .

"Meli guliya upel hai." Said little Mehar pointing at her doll which is hanging at the top of the Almirah .

"To mujhe bolna tha na " said little Dev looking at the doll.He stands on the chair and tried to reach near the doll but his little hand are too short for it.He looks down at her sister who is on the verge of crying.

"Maine bola na Mehar Mai utar dunga to utar dunga."Said Little Dev and again tried.He tries to stretch his hand but still it is too short. He jumps high on the chair but doesn't land back .He is hanging in the air but his full attention is toward the doll .

Mehar looks at her brother in the air and claps excitingly.He thought that she is clapping because now he can touch her doll.Unknown to him his eyes starts turning into blue .Mehar stops clapping after looking at her brother'eyes .Soon his eyes totally becomes blue .Mehar's breath starts getting uneven.

He tries to the doll in his hand but doll is stuck behind  at the same time Smita opens the door .She looks at her daughter condition and then at Dev who is flying in the air and is trying to pull the doll.His eyes are blue.

"Ballu nahiiii "Smita shouted and run toward her daughter.Dev look at her mother and the Almirah falls on the ground with thud.

"Kya hua ?" Mahesh comes from behind because he was parking his car.

Without replying anything ,Smita walks toward her daughter who is behind Almirah.She looks at her daughter who is lying on the floor. She sits on the floor and tries to shake her but she is not responding.Her heart has stopped .

"Maa mai Mehar ki gudiya le rha tha isliye ye gir......" said Dev but couldn't complete his sentence but before he can complete his sentence, Smita shouted aloud . Mahesh comes toward her and looks at Mehar.

"Mahesh Mehar saas nhi le rahi .....Mahesh....Mehaaarrrrr....".Smita cried looking at her daughter.Mahesh checks heartbeat of her daughter but her heart has stopped . Mahesh embrace his daughter while crying

"Maa Mehar ko lag gayi kya ?" asked Dev worriedly trying to touch his sister but Smita push him away.

"Haath mat lagana meri bachhi ko "She shouted looking at him with red eyes ."Maar dala tune meri bachhi ko." Said Smita breaking in tears ." Mahesh aap sahi the ... isse pal kar maine ... apni bachchi ko ....ek PARAYE BACHHE KE LIYE......"She breaks in tears.

"Maa marna ..." Dev tries to speak but couldn't complete his sentence.

"Nhi hu mai teri Maaaa..Teri Maaa tujh jaise saap ko nhi paal payi aur Bhag gayi . Mai bewakoof thi . Jo maine tujhe sine se lagaya .Aur tune meri hi beti ko mujhse chhin liya .Meri beti ko....." said Smita breaking down .

While Dev is looking at his mother and father who are crying while his sister is lying lifelessly.
