Few years later
It was almost midnight and everyone in the house had already slept except the couple who had been married for more than 8 years but the love, the understanding, the bonding between the two souls didn't lessen a bit, instead it increased ten folds.
Both Bela and Mahir were cuddling and spending their quality time with each other after such a long and tiring week.
Bela: I missed this so much
Mahir: Me too jaan, it feels like ages we haven't spent time together
Bela: This work loads are taking toll on us
Mahir: Let's not waste our precious time in talking, instead let's do something, you know what I mean, right my sweetheart?
Bela: No Mahir, I am really tired so a big no
Bela let out a yawn and closed her eyes
Mahir: How unromantic you are !
Bela: I know I am unromantic Mr. husband now let me sleep
Mahir: As if I am letting you to sleep
Saying this Mahir came close towards Bela's face but she stopped him
Bela: Mahir please kal mujhe hospital bhi jaana hai
Mahir: Kal sunday hai
Bela: Aapke liye hai mere liye nhi so good night
Mahir: Yaar Bela aaj Chiku bhi mumma papa ke pass hai aur Chiklu toh aapne room mein hi hai as usual, toh....
At that moment, they heard a knock on the door and followed by a silky and melodious voice of their princess
Bela sat on the bed and asked Mahir to open the door. After Mahir opened the door, his Chiklu entered the room while rubbing her sleepy eyes and climbed the bed
Adya: Mumma
Bela: Kya huwa bacha ? Koi bura sapna dekha aapne ?
Adya nodded and hugged her mumma
Adya: Bohut bura sapna tha mumma
Mahir also joined them and caressed Adya's head
Adya: Mumma dadda, can I sleep with you please
Mahir: Of course my jaan, you don't have to ask us
Adya then hugged Mahir and said
Adya: Dadda sorry
Mahir: Kyu meri jaan ?
Adya: Aap dono ko disturb kiya na mene
Mahir(mumbling): Haa kiya toh hai aapne
Bela heard that and smack his arm lightly
Mahir: No aapne nhi kiya humey disturb, now come on my girls let's sleep, it's already half past midnight
Bela(whispered): Acha kuch waqt pehle toh tum kuch....
Mahir(whispered): Shhh Bela, kuch toh sharam karo bachi hai yeha humari, sun legi woh
Bela: Aha ab badi hi sharam aa rahi hai bachi ke samne haa
Mahir: Kitni baak baak karti ho tum, soh jao tumhe kal hospital jana hai na
Bela and Mahir both laid down on either side and Adya in the middle hugging her mumma.
Adya: Mumma Dadda
Bela: Haa
Adya got up and sat cross-legged facing her parents
Adya(excitedly): My 10th birthday is coming
Mahir: Ji haa
Adya: Toh dadda mumma mai birthday ke din kuch mangungi toh kya aap dono mujhe dogey
Mahir: Esa kabhi hua hai dadda ki Chiklu ne kuch manga toh dadda ne na diya ho
Adya: Nopsie, kabhi nhi
Bela: Chahiye kya aapko isbar
Adya: Birthday ke din batungi aur aapko dena padega. Promise karo
Bela: Pehle batao kya chahiye uske baad sochenge
Adya: No mumma abhi nhi woh surprise hai
Bela: Surprise jiska birthday hota hai usey milta hai
Adya: But Adya Bela Sehgal is unique mumma
Mahir: Woh toh hai
Adya: Ab promise bhi karo aap
Mahir: Ji promise aapko jo chahiye hoga woh mil jayega
Adya: Adu promise
Mahir pulled Adya in his embrace and pecked her forehead
Mahir: Adu promise
Bela: Agar woh kuch ulta sidha huwa na bilkul bhi nhi milega, milegi toh bas pitti
Adya: I know mumma
................
After a week
20th of April, the day when the apple of the both the family members' eye came to their life exactly 10 years back and made it more colourful than ever.
Like every year, this year too they organised a special puja in the temple for Adya for her well being and for Manisha too
It was afternoon and Sehgals were at Sharma house for lunch as the evening party was at Sehgal house.
Everyone was present there except Mahir, Yuvi and Adya. Both Mahir and Yuvi had to go to office for a sudden client meeting and Adya was at the house only but not in the hall
Oishi, who got married to Yuvi 5 years back and now was 6 months pregnant, loves Adya and Avyan as her own child since the day she met them.
It's been 3 hours but she didn't saw Adya so she asked to Avyan out of her concern
Oishi: Ayu aapki didu kaha ?
Avyan: Pata ni chichi, mai bi kabse dund laha hu didu ko
Nisha came there and said
Nisha: Adya aapne mumma ke room mein hai, mandir se lautne ke baad se hi woh wohi hai, bahar aayi hi nhi
Oishi: Woha akeli kya kar rahi hogi ?
Nisha: Pata nhi par kuch toh chal raha hai uske dimaag mein
Oishi: Haan maine bhi notice kiya pichle kuch dino se chup chap si reh rahi hai
Avyan: Oho nani chichi don't wolly mai abi jakal didu ko pucta hu aul lekal bhi ata hu
Nisha: Acha thik hai par dono jaldi aajana, khelne mat lag jana
Avyan: Yeah mummaz mumma
And then Avyan ran in the speed of jet to Bela's room to call Adya
In Bela's room
Avyan entered and saw his didu was sitting quietly and was reading a book
Avyan: Didu kitna palogi aap, birthday pe koi ni palta
Adya didn't say anything but smiled at him in reply. The 5 years old Avyan understood something was wrong with his didu so he moved to her and sat beside her
Avyan: Didu kya hua, kisine kuch kaha aapse ?
Adya: Nhi
Avyan: Toh sad kyu ho aap ? Muje pata hai kuch toh hua hai.
Didu pease agal aap mujse gussa ho toh solly
Adya put the book aside and looked at her brother
Adya: Nhi Avu tumney kuch nhi kiya
Avyan: Toh kyu sad ho aap ?
Adya: Ese hi, acha yeh batao agar mai tumse kahi dur chali jau toh tu kya karoge ?
Avyan(frowned): Kyu jaoge aap woh bhi mele bina ? Haww mumma dadda ne bataya bi ni muje
Adya: Arey bas ese hi pucha maine, bata na kesa lagega tumhe agar mai tum sabko chhor kar chali jaungi toh
Avyan: Main toh aapko pakal kar lakhunga toh aap jaa hi ni paogi aul aapko mele saley goody toys de duga
Adya: Toys de dogey par janey nhi dogey
Avyan: No, aap chali jaogi toh mele sath kon khelega
Adya: Raya hai na aur Oishi chachi ko bhi toh baby hoga na unke saath khelna
Avyan: Raya loj thodi na aati hai khelne aur chichi ki baby toh chotu hoga na, wo tholi na muje daat sakta hai
Adya: Acha toh mai sirf tujhe danti hu ?
Avyan: Haa aur dadi kehti hai ki hum usey datte hai jise hum bohut pyaal kalte hai, aur meli didu muje dheeeel sara pyaal kalti hai mujhe
Adya: Haa dheeeerr sara pyaar karti hu mai mere chota baby Avu ko
Saying this Adya hugged Avyan
Avyan: Toh kahi mat jao aap pease
Adya: Kahi nhi jaungi mai
Avyan: Plomise ?
Adya: Promise
Avyan: Didu wali ?
Adya: Haa didu wali
Avyan: Chalo abi sab bula rahe hai aapko
Adya nodded and both the siblings went downstairs for lunch. After some time, Mahir and Yuvi also joined them.
..........
Later at night, Adya's birthday party got over as many people were not invited only the family were included where Vish, Ajitabh and their 4 years old daughter Raya already left for their home
In BeHir's room
Bela: Bataya Adya ne kuch ?
Mahir: Nhi, let's go and ask her
At that moment Adya entered the room with a smiley face
Mahir: Hanji madam aapne bataya nhi kuch kya chahiye aapko
Bela: Haa usdin toh aapne Adu promise bhi le liya tha par aaj aapne bataya hi nhi
Adya: Guys calm down and sit
Mahir: Kyu aise nhi bata sakti aap ?
Adya: Naah now sit mere liye please
Bela and Mahir sat on the couch and ask Adya to say what she wanted
Adya: Kaafi lambi story hai yeh par batana toh hoga mujhe.
So mumma dadda I know I am adopted.
Both Bela and Mahir looked at each in shocked and then at Adya
Adya: But I am not sad with this instead I am super happy because I am special tabhi toh aapne mujhe adopt kiya, hai na mumma dadda ?
Bela's eyes got teary after the revelation that her daughter already knew about her being adopted. Mahir squeezed Bela's hand a bit
Mahir: Ji mera bacha aap bohut special, par aapko kese pata chala aap adopted ho?
Adya: Usdin raat ko aap dono ke pass aayi thi na mai usidin dadu aur nanu baat kar rahe thay aur mene sun liya.
Bela took Adya in her embrace and asked her
Bela: Us raat aapne kya sapna dekha tha ?
Adya(lowly): Koi uncle aur aunty mujhe le janey aaye thay aur lekar chaley bhi gye, esa kya sachi mein hoga ?
Mahir: Nhi kabhi bhi nhi, aap humari baby ho aapko koi bhi lekar nhi jayega hum se dur. Aap humesha hamare saath rahoge
Bela: Haa baby koi nhi le jayega aapko
Adya: Kon hai mere real mummy papa ? Kya aap unhe jante ho ?
Mahir's heart pained when Adya asked about her real parents and a tear dropped from his eyes.
Adya: Bolo na please
Bela: Aapki real moma god ke pass hai baby.
Adya: God ke pass ! matlab unse mai mil nhi paungi
Bela shook her head
Adya: Aur papa ?
Mahir's blood boiled up when Adya asked about her papa
Mahir: Adya don't ask about him
Adya: Kyu dadda ?
Mahir: Woh bohut hi ganda insaan hai, woh logon ko harm bhi karta tha par ab wohi jail mein hai
Adya: Did he harm you dadda ?
Mahir: Not me but your mumma
Adya: Kab ?
Mahir: Jab aap chotu si thi tab
Adya: Mumma, why did he harm you ? Aap toh good girl hona aur aap hi kehti ho good girls and boys ko koi bhi harm nhi karta.
Mahir: Par yeh baat bad people ko nhi pata hota hai baby. Aur aapki mumma ko isiliye harm kiya tha kyuki aapki mumma ne usko punished kiya tha for his bad deeds
Adya: Very good mumma aapne unko punished kiya. I am proud of you
Bela and Mahir both couldn't stop their smile after listening Adya's word
Bela: Aap gussa nhi ho humsey ?
Adya: No mumma I am not. Aur kyu gussa karu, aap toh mere mumma dadda ho jarur koi reason hoga yeh na kehne ki. Hai na ?
Bela: Haa jaan reason hai aap abhi bhi baby ho isilye nhi bataya humney
Mahir: Wese aap itni smart ho kese ? Sab samajh lete ho aap
Adya(giggled): Kyuki mai aapki Chiklu jo hu
Mahir: Woh toh hai meri jaan
Saying this Mahir took Adya in a bear hug
Bela: Ho gaya sab ab chaley niche it's dinner time
Adya came out of the hug and replied
Adya: No, abhi baat khatam nhi hui meri
Bela: Ab kya baaki hai
Adya: Mene abhi tak kuch manga hi nhi aap dono se
Mahir: Kya chahiye aapko ?
Adya: Mujhe woh bad person se milna hai
Mahir(sceptically): Kisse milna hai ?
Adya lowered her head in fear and replied
Adya: Jisne mumma ko harm kiya tha
Mahir: Kyu ?
Adya: Ese hi
Mahir: You are not going to meet that monster
Adya: Dadda please aapne Adu promise kiya tha mai birthday pe jo mangungi aap dogey toh do na mujhe milne unse
Mahir: Adya mene keh diya na nhi miloge aap ussey
Adya: Mumma bolo na dadda ko
Bela: Adu aap kuch aur mang lo par yeh possible nhi hai
Adya: Kyu nhi hai, mishu toh police hai na ABC hai na woh
Bela let out a chuckle at Adya
Bela: ABC nhi ACP
Adya: Haa wohi toh mishu se keh sakte hai hum aur woh help kar sakte hai humare
Mahir: Adya...
Adya: Dadda please ek baar milna hai bas uske baad kuch nhi chahiye mujhe please
Bela: Adu jao aap Pratham chachu aur Suhani maasi ne call kiya hoga
Adya(sadly): Okay
Saying this Adya went downstairs half-heartedly
Bela: Mahir let her meet with Karan
Mahir: What if he tries to harm my daughter
Bela: He can't harm Adya when her father is there to protect her
Mahir: Bela !!
Bela: Please jaan and I am sure there is some strong reason behind Adya asking this
Mahir: Okay, I will ask Ajitabh about this and if he don't grant us to meet him then will put full stop in this topic
Bela put her head on Mahir's shoulder and hugged him by his arm
Bela: Adya will always be your daughter Mahir, no one can took her away
Mahir: OUR daughter, she is our daughter. Tum bhul kyu jati ho pehle tum uski mumma bani phir mai uska dadda bana
Bela smiled at him and said
Bela: Chalo niche chalte hai abhi aur Ajitabh se abhi hi puch lo tum call karke
Mahir nodded and then they went downstairs and seeing them there Adya ran to them
Adya: Dadda !!
Mahir: Wait for some more time
Adya frowned and went back to her sibling
Sumi: Bela kya huwa hai gudiya ko jab tum dono ke pass gayi thi tab kitni khush thi aur jab aayi toh muh utra huwa tha
Bela then said everything what has happened few moments back and Adya's wish too and Mahir's insecurities about that wish
Everyone too got shocked initially but then accepted Adya's wish and also convinced Mahir to let Adya meet her biological father.
Later that night when Bela told Adya that she can meet that man, Adya got super happy and hugged her parents. Mahir even tried to get the main reason out of her wish but Adya was also the smart one, she didn't said any word about that and smartly diverted the topic
________
After a week, it was the day when Adya would meet Karan. Mahir still was not ready but for his daughter's wish he didn't said anything
Adya: Dadda chalo late ho raha hai
Mahir: Jaana jaruri hai kya ?
Adya: Dadu dekho na dadda kya bol rahe hai
Andy: Mahir !!
Mahir made a face and said
Mahir: Okay sorry sorry now let's go
Adya: Okay dadda, bye all milte hai baad mein
Avyan: Jaha bhi jaa lahe ho par jaldi aana didu
Adya: Haa chotu
Bela: Chalo jao abhi dono
Approx. after 1 hour Adya and Mahir reached the penitentiary where Karan was kept for that crime which he had done 9 years back with Sanchi and other crimes which did before
Mahir: Chiklu dekho abhi hum yeha aa gaye hai aur yeha bohut sarey bad people bhi hai toh aap mere saath hi rehna aur haath pakde rehna aap
Adya held her dadda's hand and smiled at him
Mahir: Come your mishu is waiting for us
And then they walked towards the office where Ajitabh was there with Karan along with some other officers for safety reasons
When they reached the office, Adya first hid behind Mahir.
Mahir: Baby come forward see your mishu is here
Adya first peeked at her Ajitabh mishu from behind and gave him a smile and then came forward. Pointing at Karan, she asked
Adya: Kya yeh wohi hai ?
Ajitabh: Haa Adya yeh wohi hai
Adya whispered something to Ajitabh after that Ajitabh signalled those officers to go outside
Ajitabh: Lo chale gye woh log ab bolo aapko jo bhi bolna hai
Adya looked at Karan
Adya: Hello aap mujhe pehchante nhi aur mai aapko par let me introduce myself. My name is Adya Bela Sehgal, dr Bela and Mahir Sehgal ki daughter. Mai aapse yeha thank you kehne aayi hu uncle, aapke wajah se hi mujhe world's bestest mumma dadda aur family miley.
Par iska matlab yeh nhi ki mai aapko maaf kar dungi, aapne mere mumma ko harm kiya tha na aur dadda ko bhi hurt kiya tha tab. Meri real moma ko bhi hurt kiya tha aapne tabhi woh chhod kar chali gyi hum sabko. Aap sach mein gande ho bohut gande. You deserve this punishment.
Throughout the time, Karan didn't said a single word but kept looking at Adya
Mahir who was stunned at first hearing Adya's words and when he looked at her, she was weeping
Mahir: Adu aap roh kyu rahe ho
Adya: Dadda chalo, mujhe nhi rehna yeha aur
Mahir: Haa bacha chalo
Mahir signed Ajitabh, Ajitabh nodded and took Adya out of that room
Mahir: Mujhe nhi pata tum abhi kya soch rahe hoge par mai aur meri Bela humesha tumhare khush guzar rahenge kyuki agar tum usdin aapni beti ko apnane se mana nhi karte toh aaj woh humare zindagi mein nhi hoti
Saying this Mahir started to go away from there but stopped in halt
Mahir: Issey pehle officers ander aaye aapne aakhon se yeh aasu poch lena tum.
............
While they were coming back to home Adya was quite but then she said
Adya: Dadda
Mahir: Haa mera bacha, kya huwa ? kuch chahiye aapko ? Car roku ?
Adya: No dadda
Mahir: Toh bolo kya huwa
Adya: Aap please mumma ko mat batana mai woha royi kyuki unhe acha nhi lagta na jab mai roti hu
Mahir: Acha toh mujhe bhi nhi lagta jab meri princess roti hai
Adya: Haa par aapne dekha hai mujhe rotey par mumma ne nhi dekha na aur woh bekar mein tension leti hai
Mahir: Woh aapke bhalai ke liye hi tension leti hai
Adya: Yeah par aap mat batana unhe please
Mahir: Okay my princess
__________
Adya and Mahir reached home few moments back and Bela being a mother was asking each and everything to Mahir
Bela: Pakka yehi sab huwa tha jo tumne kaha ya tum kuch chupa rahe ho
Mahir: Ohoo Bela mai chupaunga kyu tumse kuch. Jo bhi huwa hai woha, woh sab bata diya hai maine tumhe. Agar tabhi bhi shak hai toh Ajitabh se puch sakte ho tum
Bela: Acha thik hai ab nhi puch rahi hu kuch, par sach mein ek bhi word nhi bola Karan ne ?
Mahir: Nhi par I am very sure he might be feeling guilty about his deeds but let's not talk about this anymore
Bela: Ab sukoon mili tumhe ?
Mahir: Bohut badi wali sukoon mili hai aaj mujhe. Sach mein bohut darr lag raha tha mujhe ki kahi kuch ulta sidha na jaye
Bela: Aur tum bekaar mein hi daar rahe thay, kaha tha na mene kuch bhi wesa nhi hoga jo tum soch rahe thay
Mahir: Sach mein kuch jyada hi negative soch raha tha par ab sab sahi hai aur agey bhi sahi hi hoga
Bela: Haa jab tak hum sab saath hai tab tak sab sahi hoga
Mahir smiled and took her in tight embrace
Mahir: Tum saath rahogi mere ?
Bela held him back and replied to him
Bela: Humesha
Mahir: I love you
Bela: I love my Adu and Avu
Mahir: Bela !!
Bela(giggled): I love you too my dear husband
At that moment Adya and Avyan came there and giggled seeing the same age old romantic scene of their parents
Adya-Avyan: We love you mumma dadda
BeHir moved back from their position
Bela-Mahir: Mumma dadda too love you babies
And they shared a family bear hug.
....THE END....
