Chapter 16:

Amidst the acrid smoke disappearing in air from the pyre, Daya stood transfixed, gazing upon the ashes that remained after . As he watched, a pair of hands gently touched his shoulder. A jolt of surprise coursed through his body as he turned to find Rajat seated behind him.

Daya's eyes widened in confusion as Rajat's solemn voice broke the silence.

Rajat(faint tremble voice):Thank you, Daya sir, ,Thank you apne finally sach ko accept karliya.

Daya's mind raced as he tried to search for Rajat's meaning behind his words. Rajat eyes glistened with unshed tears as he started at the hot left ashes on the ground.

Rajat(continued in trembling voice)Thankyou aapne Geeta,(smiles a little)meri bhen ka dhayan rakha(Daya started at him with Rajat turning to him)Daya sir,aapne kabhi kuch galat nahi kiya hamesha sabka acha socha phir aaj kyu aap yuh akele bhetho ho? Kyu sir?

Rajat whispered brokenly while A wave of remorse washed over Daya. He helped Rajat sister when she faced difficulty in her life without anyone knowing about it, Rajat started at Daya's face changing expression.

Rajat:(thinking)Daya sir, aapne Geeta ki tab madat ki jab wo akeli halto se lad rahi thi, agar mujhe iss ka pata nahi chalta to shayad main aapke shreya ke liye jo pyaar hain wo nahi samjh sakta tha. Jab se ye sach pata chala hain maine sirf ek hi duwa mangi hain aapki salamati, aaj aapko yaha zinda dekhke mujhe bohut khushi hui hain lekin jin rishto ke beech aap phase hui ho usse bhar kaise nikaloge?

Daya stood up fading embers of the pyre along with Rajat beside him,Rajat had a sense of closer for his feeling on shreya. Daya's epiphany had come at a cost, but it had also brought him the redemption he had long sought.

Rajat: Daya sir(he looked at him)please wapas chale, sab aapka intezar kar rahe honge.

Daya had a stiff strong face as he looked back at the ashes and sky. He recollected seeing shreya on the dead bed. Yes he had faced the truth finally accepted the truth and confessed his love for her but the feeling he had, the guilt, the hate he had seen in Abhijeet eyes was something he couldn't wanted to face. He knew back at the clinic what would be the situation, how everyone is waiting for him with questions.
