In Abhimanyu's room:
Abhir and Roohi were both very happy as things between them got sorted. Abhir looked at the sticky note on Roohi's side and checked for the note his Dad might have left for him. He found it almost immediately and his face was adorned with a beautiful smile as he read through it.
It said - "Good morning Beta! Sorry! I had to rush but jaldi aane ki try karunga. Khake medicines le lena please. Anu bhi nahi hain yaad dilane keliye. Rest karo. You need it. Love you Bacha! - Papa"
Abhir took the sticky note and rushed to his room. Roohi followed him only to see him sticking them in a diary he maintained from when he was a child. Abhir had almost all the sticky notes or letters their father left for him ever since he was a kid, stacked safely in a diary.
He is extremely careful about its maintenance and equally possessive about it. Even though he hated when Abhimanyu left without meeting them, the sticky notes kind of worked on him. Their father is too smart to not notice that and put it to use.
Roohi felt too stupid for not thinking of them while she was trying to pacify Abhir. May be he would have given in much sooner and she could have atleast, effectively gotten her point across. Because Abhir was hell bent on not giving her any attention.
She hugged Abhir from back and placed her chin on his right shoulder.
"Kya soch rahi ho Di?" He observed her body language and asked her.
"Kuch nahi yaar! Bas yeh soch rahi thi ki maine kitna pareshan kardiya sabko. Bina baat ke dara diya. Sabne maaf toh kardiya per mujhe lagta hain ki kahi na kahi woh trust mujhpe itni asani se wapis nahi ayega."
Roohi sadly stated her thought process.
"Di! Ab galti hui hain, aapne sorry bola. Aapko maafi mili. First stage toh khatam hogaya na..." Abhir tried to cheer her.
"I know. But agar mujhe Poppy punish karte na, toh kam bura lagta. Lekin mujhe pata hain woh aisa kuch nahi karenge." Roohi sadly said.
"Kyun? Aap aisa kyun bol rahi ho?" Abhir enquired.
"Kyunki unhe pata hain mujhe meri punishment mil chuki hain. Sab ka MISTRUST. Us se badi punishment mereliye nahi ho sakti."
Abhir cut her off by saying, "Papa ne socha toh sahi hi na Di. Aap already regret kar rahe ho. Woh aapko kuch aur kyun karne bolenge?
Woh toh jaise hi humein galti realise hojati hain ache se, tabhi hamara punishment rukwa dete hain. He never wants us to get hurt. Nor he lets us." Abhir spoke proudly.
