Ishan stared at the moving trees from the window while leaning on it ..

He was currently travelling from Indore to jharkhand via bus ..his eyes held so many emotions in them as he looked at the precious jewels in his hands .

" Uncle can I sit here "

A calm voice of a passanger broke ishan from his trance ..he looked up from his hands and saw a women holding her pregnant belly asking to sit beside the vacant seat
" Sure .."

As the journey passed by ishan couldn't help but stare at the pregnant belly of the woman ..
" I am 6 months due "

The lady spoke in a soft voice sensing his gaze .. he beautifully smiled at the lady " can I touch it ?" ..

" Offcourse you can " ..

Maybe it was the calm aura around ishan that the lady was comfortable enough to let him touch her belly ..!

" You are so lucky " ..he mumbled quietly

" Huhh?? Did u said something?"

" N-no it's just you are lucky that you are carrying the symbol of your love with your husband "

" Ohh " the lady blushed a beautiful red and said shyly " y-yeahh my husband loves us soo much "




With that the lady got busy in daydreaming about her husband while ishan looked at her lovesick smile with raw emotions in his eyes ..
































" Uncle mein aapki madad Karu ?" ..

The same lady beside him asked sensing his struggling body trying to get down from the bus ..

He was currently 50 years old with some-what diseases such as bp, sugar that made his body weak .





" Shukriya "

" Your welcome "







With that their ways parted ..as ishan strolled through the streets of jharkhand faint whispers of their beautiful love rang in his head ...


As he rode the auto to Ranchi lake he couldn't help but remember the stolen moments that apparently stole his heart too ..





..


Standing infront of the lake he finally let the tears fall from his old yet beautifull eyes ..

" Tum nai aaye shubman "

" k-kyu nahi aaye tum mere pass shubman ..kyuu" ...

He couldn't help but slid onto the path ..as he sat there infront of the lake alone .. memories came into his mind like a painful flood..!


















* FLASH BACK *

Ishan leaned on the window while the car strode towards his favourite spot ..the Ranchi lake ..

" Sahab aage traffic bohot hai ..thoda time lagega "

Ishan nodded at his driver understanding the point ..he looked outside trying to find something that can catch his attention ..




But as he looked outside a boy caught his attention !

Sweat was rolling down his forehead while he panted heavily from the heat ..ishan looked at the boy in daze ,,he didn't realised when the traffic got clear and his car started moving he realised it only when the cycle that the was ridding was no more in his sight ...making him sigh !.
