Saanvi was in Ishaan's Room laying on his bed. She kept giggling to whatever Ishaan says. Ishaan was telling about everything to Saanvi. His favorites, his friends, his mischiefs, his secrets and everything he had experienced. Rayaan was sitting on a couch and playing with Ishaan's favourite toys as Ishaan didn't let him play with Saanvi.
"These are the trophies I got for racing. You know racing. Its... Um yeah running. You know running. Dont know... Ohioo... Its okay I will teach you. Doll don't you want to grow up? Why are you so small. Grow up a little. So that we can run together and then go to school together." He said innocently. He frowned and said with a sad pout"I don't want you to go. Please stay here with me. Don't you miss me"
Saanvi let out a yawn. Noticing it Ishaan said "ohh so my doll is feeling sleepy" He then put some pillows around Saanvi and sat beside her and caressed her forehead and kisses her cheeks softly. Rayaan frowned when he saw his brother caressing Saanvi's forehead. He felt jealous. Ishaan never caressed his forehead. He pouted and called Mrs Malhotra in high pitched voice. Rayaan's voice made Ishaan look at him with wide eyes. Saanvi was almost sleeping but the sudden voice disturbed her. Being cranky she started crying making Ishaan tensed.
"Shhh... Doll its okay. Its Rayaan. He was calling mumma" Ishaan said the last part glaring at Rayaan who started crying making more voice. Mrs Malhotra came immediately after hearing the kids crying. She looked at Saanvi and saw her crying. She saw Ishaan trying to make Saanvi stop cry. Ishaan was whispering sweet nothing to her. Ishaan saw his mother coming to Saanvi with a crying Rayaan. Before Mrs Malhotra could ask or do anything Ishaan said "take him away, i will make her sleep."
"Ishaan, I will make Saanvi sleep. You go out with Rayaan "Mrs Malhotra said and tried to pick up Saanvi.
"I said na I will make her sleep, mum you go out with him" Ishaan said frustrated. His doll was crying and here his mom is asking him to leave her crying.
"Its okay... Doll. Your ishaan is here. Please baby don't cry. If you cry Ishaan will also cry. " Ishaan said with his tears filled eyes. Rayaan cried loudly making everyone's attention towards him. "Mom take him out," Ishaan screamed. Mrs Malhotra picked Raayan up and was going out when she heard Ishaan singing a lullaby for Saanvi. Saanvi stopped crying listening to the lullaby. Mrs Malhotra noticed how he cleaned her tears so carefully.
"Shh... Its okay Rayu... Tell me why my baby is crying." Mrs Malhotra cooed at Rayaan who was sniffing. Mrs Malhotra was sure that her son can make Saanvi quite.
"Bhai... Dot do that wit me" he said. (Bhai don't do that with me.)
Mrs Malhotra furrowed her brows. What Ishaan didn't do with Rayaan. "What rayu"
"He nevel cares my head like Saavi's. He nevel sing fol me. He even luk me like mojojo " Rayaan accused his brother in his baby voice.
(He never caress my forehead like Saanvi's. He never sing for me. He even looked at me like Mojo Jojo {a cartoon character})
Mrs Malhotra understood that Rayaan was feeling jealous of the attention Saanvi was getting from his brother. " Rayu... Saanvi is so small na. My Rayu is bigger than Saanvi na. She needs cares and attention that's why Ishaan is taking care of her. And Ishaan loves Rayaan a lot. "Mrs Malhotra said trying to make him understand.
Rayaan looked at his mother and nodded his head in positive "yesh... Saavi is smally and I am biggy " Mrs Malhotra smiled at her son. But she was concerned about Ishaan. Ishaan is changing. His behaviour is changing. Being a mother she couldn't help but to pray for everything to be okay.
Ishaan sighed happily when he saw Saanvi sleeping. He kissed her hands softly and made sure that the pillows around her are arranged properly. He again looked at her and tip toped out of the room without making any noise that could disturb her sleep.
He went towards hall and saw Rayaan sitting in his mother's lap and having chocolate. He went towards them with an angry face "why did you yelled when she was sleeping. "He asked angrily to Rayaan.
"Ishaan stop shouting. Its not a good manners " Mrs Malhotra said angrily. Rayaan clunged to his mother.
"I know manners. He made my doll cry" He said grumpily and glaring at Rayaan. Mrs Malhotra was amused. Her son definitely changed. She thought Ishaan would came after making Saanvi sleep and play with Rayaan. But no, he was shouting and accusing the little Rayaan.
"Ishaan. Rayaan didn't make Saanvi cry intentionally. It happened. He is also a kid" Mrs Malhotra tried to make him understand
"Saanvi is a baby, but he 4 years. Do you know how much she cried" He asked Mrs Malhotra. "And you Rayaan, you will never shout when saanvi is around" he ordered Rayaan who Nodded his head and muttered "mojojo"(mojo Jojo)
Mrs Malhotra was about to say something to ishaan but stopped when she saw Mr Malhotra coming inside the mansion with a look of distrust. Mr Malhotra eyes were red and had tears. Mrs Malhotra became tensed seeing him and asked "what happened"
Mr Malhotra doesn't replied and sat down on the sofa. Ishaan was looking at his father. He had never saw his father like this. He asked "what happened dad?"
Mrs Malhotra was tensed and kept asking him. But Mr Malhotra didn't replied. He sat there without any movement like he was in shock. After a few seconds he said "They are gone"
"What? Who?,what are you saying. " Mrs Malhotra asked.
"Vihaan and Saarya" (mr and mrs Khurrana).
Ishita became shocked. She thought her husband is pranking so she said "i know, infact we all know Vihaan and Saarya had gone for a date. "
"They are gone forever." Raghubir said and cried making the atmosphere silent. Ishita hugged Raghubir and cried with him. Ishaan and Rayaan looked each other confusedly.
'where did uncle and aunty had gone that mumma papa is crying. ' Ishaan thought.
"He is gone. The bloody drunk driver had hit his car. I won't leave that drunkard. He had snatched my friend away from me" Raghubir said angrily.
Ishaan ran towards his room when he heard a sound. Raghubir and Ishita looked towards Ishaan's room. Ishita whispered "Saanvi".
Raghubir looked at Ishita and said "we are adopting her". Ishita looked at him and nodded her head. She couldn't believe that Vihaan and Saarya are dead. It felt like a nightmare. They cried for the souls that left the world.
After sometime, Ishaan came back after making sure that everything is fine with Saanvi. He saw his father and mother crying hugging Rayaan. He asked his father" what happened to uncle"
Raghubir looked at his son and said in a heavy voice. "He is gone" Ishaan furrowed his brows and asked "where? And when will he come back?".
"Never" Raghubir replied to his son
"But why, Doll will miss them na? Where are they?" He again asked.
"There, in the sky." Raghubir said.
Ishaan didn't asked anything again. His mother once said that her parents are there in the sky and will never come back. They are the stars. But Ishaan was confused. Why did they leave Saanvi and go to sky.
"Doll" he whispered. Raghubir listened it and said "she will live with us." Ishaan smiled at his dad who was having tears.
Life is so unpredictable. No one can predict what happens the next moment. Death is the bitter truth. It separates our loved ones and reunites them too
