" Mummaaa..." Ruhi screamed loudly and woke up from her sleep and Neil was lying next to her on the and hugging her, because when Neil had brought her to some another place, she was asleep.
" Roohi... kya hua? Are you okay? " Neil said while sitting on the bed and he hugged Ruhi while making her on his lap and provided her the warmth which she needed so much.
" Mujhe mumma ke paas jana hai, wo abhi tak mujhse milne kyu nahi aayi? " Ruhi said, locking her small hands behind Neil's back, and still not knowing where she was.
" Baccha maine aapse kaha tha ki aapki mumma nahi aa sakti, to phir aapko aisa kyu lag raha hai ki wo aayegi. " Neil said while tightening his grip on her.
" Nahi, maine unhe dekha hai, jab main Abhir or poppy camp main gaye the tab maine unhe dekha tha isliye mujhe abhi unke paas jana hai.. jana hai...jana hai. " And that little girl finally told everything openly in front of her father which was troubling her for so many days, due to which her little mind got disturbed.
And from this, Neil came to know everything about how his brother took his daughter out without asking. But right now he can't even ask Ruhi anything more because right now he needs to get it out of his daughter's mind that her mother is no longer alive.
It took him so many years to understand that Aarohi is not alive, how will he make this understand to his daughter? Literally, a worse day than this would never have come in Neil Birla's life.
" Pehle mujhe bhi aisa hi lagta tha ki aapki mumaa yahi kahi aas paas hi hai, mujhe bhi wo har jagah dikhayi karti thi, par fir mujhe realize hua ki wo mere saath Nahi hai.. " Neil said this with a heavy heart, he had never thought that he would be able to tell Roohi how Aarohi died, but what to do now if the situation is like this.
" Matlab wo mujhe bhi dikhai di thi? " Roohi said while breaking the hug and getting up from Neil's lap and looking here and their confusingly that where she was sitting right now.
" May be aisa hi ho sakta hai, waise I know ki aap ye sab baat ko acche se samjhne ke liye aap bohot chote ho, par aaj ke din hi aapki mumma is duniya se chali gayi thi. " Neil said this and a long tear fell from his eye remembering that miserable day when Aarohi left him and Ruhi forever.
" Matlab? " Roohi said in a very low voice who was scared to know the full truth.
" Matlab ye ki aapki mumma ki death thik aapke iss duniya main aane ke baad hi ho chuki thi, na aapne unhe dekha hai or na hi unhone aapko, may be shayad ye hum dono ke fate main hi nahi tha ki hum unke saath rahe isiliye bhagwan ji ne unhe apne paas bula liya " Neil said and laid down on the bed placing his head on Ruhi's lap.
And tears were still flowing from his eyes which were falling on Ruhi's frock.
" Par mumma humein chodkar kyu chali gayi " Roohi said
" Abhi aap bohot chote ho in sab chizo ko samajhne ke liye, sahi time aane par aapko sab pata chal jayega. " Neil said while holding her one hand so tightly.
" Sab yahi kehte hai ki aapki mumma ki death meri wajah se huyi hai, par aap to Mujhe par trust karte ho na , main kyu unke saath kuch karunga. Wo to meri sabse badi strength thi, unke alawa mera is duniya or koyi nahi tha, main kyu aapko aapki mumma se alag karunga. " Today, for the first time, Neil shared his heartfelt feelings with someone which he had kept hidden in his heart for so many years.
After Aarohi's departure, there was no one left in Neil's life with whom he could share his pain, but today he openly tried to share his pain with great strength.
And Ruhi also tried to understand her father, albeit a little, as to how that poor fellow has been living his life in such a suffocated manner for so many years.
And Ruhi wiped his tears and placed her head on his shoulder.
" Its Okay papa... Mujhe pata hai ki aap kabhi kuch galat nahi kar sakte, I trust you, aap world ke best papa ho. "
Roohi said, still her head was on his shoulder and Neil finally got up from her lap.
" Waise aapko pata hai abhi aap jaha par ho, ye ghar aapki mumma or mera hai kyuki hum dono pehle family se alag raha karte the, taaki hum apni life aaram se ji sake fir ek din aapki mumma mujhe bina bataye ghar se chali gayi, or uss baat ke liye main aaj bhi pachta raha hu ki maine use jaane hi kyu diya yaha se. " Neil said and Ruhi looked further and came to know that this apartment belonged to Neel and Aarohi which Neil had bought with his savings.
