Naya Adhyay (New Chapter)

Chapter 25

One of the official addressed the meeting.....Gentlemen, u guys have been in a secret mission from the past 8yrs, and I know it has been hard on u. But the outcome of ur service has saved lives of around 2000 kids.....Good Job guys. And coming to the point of this meeting.....this mission is gonna end in few months, we received a crucial information from our mole that there will be a major racket transaction in coming months, so guys this not time for u to loose focus or lay down. Let's just make sure that our efforts will be successful and the result should be commendable. *Is it clear.....

Yes sir.....said the gentlemen unanimously. Good.......u'll receive the tips as usual....the meeting is dispersed. 

Once the meeting ends everyone disperses in a random way, one one them being a cab driver with a passenger. The passenger questioned.....How are the things going, any suspicions?

The driver replied.....Nothing suspicious from the past 4 yrs, both the fugitives and their details are well hidden, since the busters have been eliminated. So their route is clear.

Have u decided to when to come clean with ur identity?....the passenger questioned again. 

Taking a deep sigh, the driver replied.....I'm scared, I'm scared to be misunderstood of both my actions and intentions. So I haven't decided to when to do it.

I get it, but don't delay anymore as it is been almost 6+ yrs where they are kept in dark. Make it quick before the things get complicated and messier.....said the passenger. 

.....................

Sumitra Sharma hurried back to the home in an instant on receiving a call from Pari. On entering the house she is greeted by an anxious Pari who is walking around the living room while cooing her daughter. 

Pari....Sumitra called gaining her attention. Maa....Pari called, anyone can notice a sense of relief in her voice. Pari immediately walked to her and spoke.....She had looked herself in the room for the past 2hrs and her condition is far worse than the other times.

I'll take care of it, u go have lunch and rest.....Sumitra assured Pari. Pari wanted to say....."don't be harsh", however dropped it as she felt it is not needed as Sumitra is far more capable of taking care of things.

Sumitra unlocked the room, only to find Akshara in a very disheveled state, her eyes are red with agony, her face is tear stained and her stance is defeated. Sumitra sat face to face with Akshara. Akshara looked at Sumitra and whispered......Maa.

Kyu hua?.... lost ur voice.....after realizing that even father's cry for their kids.....Sumitra stated. Tears spilled from Akshara's eyes. Sumitra is comprehensive about the talk, but she decided to end this today.

Maa he's crying and apologizing to my Ira Maa....he's......Akshara's words were cut by Sumitra.....his Ira.  Akshara looked at her mute.

It amazes me Akshara, u keep forgetting that Abhimanyu has equal rights as u on Abhir and Abhira. He's not crying for his kids only today Akshara, he's crying for his kids for the past 6yrs.

Sumitra's words shook Akshara to core, so much that she felt numb to everything.

.............

Ragini sat next to Abhimanyu who has occupied a bench in a park. She reached the park almost 10mins back on his call, but Abhimanyu hasn't acknowledged her presence yet as he's looking into oblivion. 

Hshhh.....Birla, I don't get to how we even became friends to that extent that, I even took a half day leave to meet u and here ur treating me as a ghost/invisible....Ragini spoke to ice up the situation.

Abhimanyu whisked out his mobile and passed it to Ragini saying....my daughter. Ragini looked into the pic and then at Abhimanyu.

I'm a failure Ragini, I failed in all my relations and of all that I'm a worst father who couldn't even save his child and doesn't even know the existence of the other child.....Abhimanyu cried.
