Mini opened the door to find Dadu in anger.

Dadu came towards Neil and held his hand strongly and shook him strongly.

Dadu: Meine kaha tha na ki Meri poti ko koi dukh... koi pareshani nahi milni chahiye.... Kaha tha ya nahi...

Neil was just looking down as he knew that he was saying correct and he has the right to scold him.

Dadu: Meine tujhe bola tha ki meri bacchi ko koi taqleef hui to tere liye accha nahi hoga.... Isiliye kaha tha kyunki mujhe pata tha ki aise cases me yahi hota hai... Tu tha na waha to tune kuch bola kyu nahi.... kuch kiya kyu nahi.... bol ab

Neil: Dadu vo.... me kya karta... mujhe Mini....

Dadu: (interrupting) Ab tu bas yeh kar ki nikal yaha se.... Abhi ke abhi.... 

Mini was just standing shocked.... She was not able to digest anything happening around her. Neil looked to her and misunderstood her silence.... He turned to the door and started walking towards it.... Mini intervened their little fingers to stop him....

He turned and saw Mini... She nodded in a no.... She had tears in her eyes.... Was not able to say anything still... But Neil understood that She doesn't want him to go and he misunderstood her.

Mini: (took a deep breath) Neil kahin nahi jayega.

Dadu: Mini... Ab bhi tu kyu rok rahi hai ise... Aaj court me itna sab ho gaya... aur isne kuch nahi kiya phir bhi tujhe yeh sahi lag raha hai.... Kyu?

Mini: Dadu isne court me isiliye react nahi kiya kyunki meine ise kasam di thi ki yeh react nahi karega....

Mini looked towards Neil and motioned her eyes towards his room.

He understood and silently went to his room.

Mini took Dadu to the sofa and made him sit there and sat on the ground beside him.

Mini: Dadu... Aapko Naeem Bi ne bataya na ki Neil ke saath kya hua tha..... He was betrayed... Me chahti hu ki jaise babes ne khul ke saans li thi apna case jeetne ke baad vaise hi neil bhi le.... vo bhi khulke jee sake.... jo bhi khul ke has sake..... jo bhi kare.... jee bhar ke kar sake..... jaise babes ko freedom ka ehsaas hua tha na divorce ke baad..... me chahti hu neil ko bhi ho.....

Dadu was looking at Mini.... She was smiling thinking of Neil's freedom and happiness.

Dadu: Itna pyaar karti hai tu usse...?

Mini: (Smile vanished) Dadu aap yeh...

Dadu: Mujhse jhoot mat bolna beta

A lone tear escaped her eyes.

Mini: Dadu... vo mujhse pyaar nahi karta... its all one sided.... aur kuch time baad jab me move on kar lungi shayad..... tab sab thik ho jayega.... par abhi me bas...... As a friend uski help karna chahti hu..... kyunki jab babes chali gayi thi tab me bhi khul ke.... na ro pa rahi thi, na has pa rahi thi, na saans le pa rahi thi.... na jee pa rahi thi....... Par jab neil aaya tab uske saath ladayi karke.... jhagad ke.... daant ke..... ro ke...... has ke..... me ab khul ke jee pa rahi hu... Jab me aur arya school me child abuse ke against complain karke aaye the aur koi mujhe sunna nahi chahta tha tab vo tha..... mere paas.... mere saath.... bina mujhe judge kiye.... mujhe sunne ke liye.... taaki me us trauma se nikal pau... jo kabse mujhe haunt karta tha...(Dadu was crying with guilt by this time).... jab me is duniya me akela feel kar rahi thi na.... tab ek vohi tha mere saath.... jo mera support karne mere peeche khada tha..... To ab aap hi batao... Kya ab... jab usko meri zarurat hai...  to mujhe uska saath chodd dena chahiye..... (confidently) Agar abhi bhi aapko aisa lagta hai na Dadu.... to me aapko convince nahi kar sakti.... Par me Neil ke is ladai me Neil ke saath khadi thi... khadi hu... aur jab tak yeh ladai khatam nahi ho jati me uske saath khadi rahungi.... That is final.

Dadu: (crying) Tu itni badi kab ho gayi Mini. Naeem bi sahi keh rahi thi.... Tu bahot samajhdar hai... tune jo faisla liya hai bilkul sahi hai.... par kya karu beta.... me tere jaisa strong nahi raha ab.... me tujhe dukh sehta hua nahi dekh paaya.... I am sorry beta.... Sorry....

Mini: Are Dadu aap mujhse Sorry kyu bol rahe hai.... Aap bas mera saath do... aur mujhe kuch nahi chahiye.....

Dadu : Ja beta so ja..... aaram kar....

Mini went to sleep in her room with contentment.

Dadu went to Neil's room.

Neil was still not able to sleep and was tossing and turning on the bed.

Dadu sat near him and caressed his head. He turned immediately and was surprised seeing Dadu.

Dadu: Mujhe maaf karde beta....meine apni bacchi ki chinta me tujhe kitna kuch suna diya jabki teri to koi galti bhi nahi thi.....Sorry beta. (He joined hands)

Neil got up and kept his hands on Dadu's and said: Are aap aise maafi kyu mang rahe hai Dadu. Aapka pura haq hai mujhe daantne ka. Aur aapne kuch galat thodi hi kaha....Sach hi to hai Main to kuch kar hi nahi paaya Mini ke liye aaj.

Dadu: Tu ab apne aap ko dosh na de....Are mujhe to pata nahi tha ki Mini ne tujhe kasam di hai....Isme teri koi galti nahi hai....Yeh samay mushkil hai.....kat jayega....Phir accha samay bhi aayega.....Chinta mat karo.

Neil felt relief with the last set of words and nodded obediently.

Dadu: Let ja aaram se.....

Neil laid down.

Dadu caressed his hair lovingly as he would be caressing for his own son. Soon he slept.

Dadu thought: Bahot pyaara baccha hai....matarani isme daaya karo....itni taqleef kyu mere hi bacchon ko...unko bhi sukoon ka haq se....yeh toofan jaldi khatam ho.
