Hey guys…
Nyonika is seated in her cabin… She was studying some papers when she hears someone telling password to open her gate…
A voice ” Boró na bo..!! (May I come in)”
The door opens and the SSS are standing at the entrance with grim faces… The girls in front and the boys behind them..Nyonika looks at them surprised and the papers falls off her hand…
Mukti (sarcastically) “What happened Mom?? How come your steady grip became loose???
Nyonika (looking keenly and sharply at him) “Nothing… It’s just that your entry together here was unexpected… Do you have some work??”
Cabir “Yes, mom ,we do have… But not with you alone…”
Nyonika “What do you mean?”
Nandini “VP Malhotra,Plz call Mom Dad here…”
Nyonika looks at her…
Abhi “And if possible,Amms as well… If she is available and has returned from ministry…”
Navya “And Of course… Professor Malhotra … This cannot be done without him…”
Nyonika looks suspiciously and worriedly at all of them… She feels uneasy and their gaze seem piercing… She looks at all of them… And then at Manik who is standing quitely… She gets worried… She worriedly nods…
Nyonika “But calling all of them together will take time… I need your patronouses…”
They all nod…
Abhi, Mukti , Cabir and Nyonika speak together “Expecto Patronum..!!!!”
Silver coloured Doe,Snake,Eagle and Cat appear there..
Even in that situation, Nandini could not help noticing that Nyonika’s patronous cat looks exactly like Ms. Mew…
Nyonika (to her patronous) “Principal Murthy!! There’s something wrong… The children are here together and they want to talk to us… And have requested you to be here as well… Plz reach Soon if possible!!!”
Her cat disappears…
Mukti “Dad!! You are needed in Mom’s cabin right now!!”
Abhi “Dad!! We all want to see you in VP Malhotra’s cabin… Now!!!”
Cabir “Sorry to disturb you Professor Murthy but you need to come to VP Malhotra’s cabin right now… It’s important and urgent…”
Their patronouses also disappear…
Nyonika (looking worried) “Come inside and sit all of you…”
They all come in… Nandini sits beside Manik and holds his hand to show that she is with him… He also tightens his grip on her hand… Nyonika notices it and can’t help but smile…
She looks at Abhi and Mukti sitting together… Both have grim faces but are holding hands… And next her gaze falls on Navya and Cabir… She is amazed and can’t help thinking that how can a sensible girl like Navya is with this mischievous Cabir but at the same time she is little glad…
There, the patronouses have reached their different destinations…
Mansi listens to Cabir’s message… She sits on her chair in despair…
Mansi “Did they got to know it? Do they know the truth? Does Navya knows it? Will she leave me?? No!!! I can’t let this happen… She is my daughter! I won’t let her go away from me… And Nandini!! If they got to know it that means she is in danger!! No!! I can’t sit here and panic… I have to go to VP Malhotra!”
Mansi apparates…
Ansh also listens to Abhi’s message… The always happy and cheerful Ansh has a serious grim expression on his face…
Ansh “I think the time has come… It’s the time to tell the truth… We can’t stop it from coming out anymore… And if this is right, then that means the kids have got to know a lot of things… But how much?? Only going there will answer my questions…”
He also apparates…
Raj is in his cabin… Students rarely visit his cabin for they feel scared… He is not alone but with a man who is covered in shawl standing beside him… They both listen to Mukti’s message…
The man “I will also accompany you… If the kids are calling is together in her cabin, that means the matter is something serious… And I can’t wait anymore… I have waited for 13 years…”
Raj shakes his head… He doesn’t allow him…
The man “I will become invisible and accompany you…!!”
Raj “No!! Are you crazy??? Navya can see everything!! She is immune to the invisibility charm!! It’s not the right time to come out…”
The Man “Do something… I want to accompany you!!!”
Raj thinks… He then recalls something…
Raj “How can you forgot this??? You are an Animagi!! And you can readjust your size in your animagous form!!”
The man “I Forgot for I haven’t used that power for 13 years… Thanks for reminding me…”
Raj nods… The Man changes into a Bettle…
Raj “You are lucky for Beetles are the only bugs I am not scared of! Now get into my pocket…”
The Beetle crawls and gets into his Shirt’s pocket…
Vanshika is also sitting on a chair… But not on a formal office chair… She is sitting on her rocking chair… She is in Murthy Mansion… Not at the ministry… But at Hogsmede alley… Sitting on the dark… Going back and forth on her chair joining her hands…
Vanshika “Till now, the message should have reached… I asked them to show the way… I am sure that they did… It’s been quite a while… I hope all is Ok…”
Just then Nyonika’s patronous comes there… She looks at it and smiles as if waiting eagerly for it… She listens to Nyonika’s message…
The patronous “Principal Murthy! There’s something wrong… The children are here together and they want to talk to us… And have requested you to be here as well… Plz reach Soon if possible!!!”
Vanshika smiles… She gets up and picks her wand… She apparates and reaches Hecate’s gate… She shows her wand to Ficus and he lets have in… She doesn’t apparate to Nyonika’s cabin now… She is going there slowly on her feet…
The professors gather outside the cabin… They look at each other worriedly…
Mansi “Is he also here Professor Malhotra?”
Raj nods and pats his pocket…
Ansh “Boró na Bo…!!”
The door opens… They all step inside… As soon the they step in, the SSS stand up looking at them leaving their seats for them to sit… Manik is not looking at his father out of shame…
The faculty sit…
Nyonika “Say now kids… What you want to ask??”
Abhi “Before starting, I want to make something clear… We are not here to talk to our professors but to our parents…”
Nandini “And therefore,we expect you all to answer in the same way… For it’s time to satisfy our curiosity…”
The faculty look at each other and then at the SSS and nod…
Mukti comes and kneels down in front of Raj and holds his hands in her…
All look at her keenly… Manik is unable to hold his guilt tears and so turns around showing them their back… Nandini caresses his shoulder and leans on to him, putting her head on his shoulder… They both hold hands…
Mukti “Dad… I will ask you something… Will you tell us?? (Raj looks on) Dad… What exactly happened 13 years ago that changed everything drastically?”
The faculty are stunned… They expected something else but not this… Raj tries to remove his hand but Mukti’s grip is firm… He looks on determined at her father…
Mukti “Tell Dad? What happened that night, 13 years ago, in that room with you, Manik and… Cabir’s parents??”
Tears role down Nyonika ’s cheeks as she gets the flashes of that evening… The man in Raj’s pocket is also shocked…
Raj glances at Cabir, expecting a shock or questioning or accusing reaction but is himself surprised at his calm and composed reaction… He then looks at Manik who is turning his back… He thinks that it’s out of annoyance and anger but he doesn’t know the reality… He thinks that Manik told his side of story to his friends, even Cabir and of not looking at him due to his hate… He sighs…
Raj “You all know the truth… I don’t want to say anything… And I have much important things to do rather than answering your unimportant questions…”
Cabir “You have to say it Pa… How long will you keep quiet? I want to know… How my parents died?”
Nyonika “no Cabir we are your parents…”
Raj “Enough… I don’t want to talk about anything… I am going… I have my own work which I left incomplete…”
He jerks Mukti’s hand away and gets up just when Manik’s voice stop him…
Manik “Dad..!!”
Pitah se hai naam tera
Pitah pehchaan teri
Jiye jis sahaare pe tu
Pitah se woh saans mili
Hai pitah, rab tera
Raj and Nyonika are stunned! Even the SSS are shocked… Mansi and Ansh smile… The man in Raj’s pocket stops moving for sometime out of shock…
Raj looks in Manik’s direction… Now Nandini is standing straight and moves two steps away from him giving him space…
Ho Ishwar Allah, Jitne bhi Rab hain
Noor tera tujh mein hi sab hai
Ho Ishwar Allah, Jitne bhi Rab hain
Noor tera tujh mein hi sab hai
Manik turns… His cheeks tear-stained… Eyes still tearful…
Tears role down Raj’s and Nyonika’s cheek…
Rab hai hai
Tu hi sab hai hai
Rab hai hai
Tu hi sab hai hai
Raj “You….. You ca— called me… You called me Dad!!”
Pitah ka mol hai kya
Paas reh ke jaana nahi
Pyar pita se karein
Ye keh na paayein kabhi
Hai pita sab tera
Manik nods… Raj closes his eyes in ecstasy, allowing his tears fall freely… He stumbles and is about to kneel down when Manik runs to him and hold him by his shoulders…
Raj raises his hand… They’re trembling and cups Manik’s face…
Ho Ishwar Allah, Jitne bhi Rab hain
Noor tera tujh mein hi sab hai
Ho Ishwar Allah, Jitne bhi Rab hain
Noor tera tujh mein hi sab hai
They instantly hug… Crying their heart out… Wiping out the huge distance created between them for over 13 years… They both have craved for it…
Pita ke aashirwad se tune sab kuch paya hai
Kya lekar tu aaya jag mein
Aur kya tune kamaaya hai
Nyonika cries and thank God…
SSS smile tearfully looking at the Father- Son reunion…
They break the hug…
Pita ke aashirwad se tune sab kuch paya hai
Kya lekar tu aaya jag mein
Aur kya tune kamaaya hai
Raj “You heard Nyonika?? He called me Dad!! After 13 years,he called me Dad!!!”
Nyonika nods happily… Mukti and Cabir run to Manik and hug him… Raj also joins them… They again part…
Pita ka rutba sab se ooncha
Rab ke roop samaan hai
Pita ki ungli thaam ke chal toh
Rastaa bhi aasaan hai
Pita ka saaya sar pe ho toh
Kadmon mein aakaash hai
Pita hai poonji, Kho jaaye toh
Phir kya tere paas hai
Manik “I am so sorry Dad!! I never gave you chance to explain yourself, always blamed you,said those filthy words to you and loathed you… But you never ever retorted back… And now also,you are forgiving me so easily?? How could you be this good Dad?? Why was I so blind in my hatred and half truth that I couldn’t see your good side..?? I am so sorry Dad!! I am so sorry…!!! I am the worst son ever…!!”
Pita bana na hasti teri
Naa koi tera thikana hai
Pita ke naam se aana jag mein
Pita ke naam se jaana hai
Raj “No son!! You are not… It wasn’t your fault but of the circumstances… Now that you are here,back with me,I don’t need anything else… I have got back my gem… My treasure!! I missed you!!”
Ishwar Allah, Jitne bhi Rab hain
Noor tera.. tujh mein hi sab hai
Ishwar Allah, Jitne bhi Rab hain
Noor tera.. tujh mein hi sab hai
They again hug…
Nyonika “How did this miracle happened??”
Navya “Well… Though Mukti helped her but it was mainly because of Nandu that this idiot realized his mistake… (The Malhotras look thankfully at Nandini while the Murthys smile proudly) We will tell everything but first Professor Malhotra needs to answer Mukti’s question…”
Raj and Nyonika again have a grimace…
Cabir goes to Raj “Pa… Don’t be quite anymore… It will just ruin things and then will be out of hands… Once you were quite,and things worsened… All have been set right with much difficulty… Plz don’t be quite anymore… Plz Pa…”
The faculty looks at him in shock…
Nandini “Mom,Dad and all the Professors… There are few things which you should know but don’t know… And there are a lot of things which we should know and trust us we are trying our best to know it and this is one of the try… So plz cooperate so that we can also share things…”
Mansi (standing up) “What do you mean Nandu? What is that we don’t know and you know? How you got to know it? What are you hiding?? I can sense that she broke the rule!! Ansh!! Ask your daughter what she is talking about?? And tell me… You involved Mukti and Navya also with you right?? Nandini when will you understand?? This is not muggle world!! It’s our world!! And there are witches and wizards who can outsmart you! I know you cannot be harmed without your wish! But you never thought about these two girls? What would they do?? Ansh!!! Say something now!!!”
Navya “Relax Mom! We will tell you everything… Just have patience… But before telling, Professor Malhotra needs to answer Mukti’s question… It’s important and very much connected to that which we know and I guess you all don’t!!”
Ansh “That means you were with her in all this! Navu!! You never broke rules!! This girl has habit of inviting trouble for herself!! But you are elder to her and sensible!! You should have stopped her but you supported her!! I supported you girls in your many pranks but THOSE WERE JUST PRANKS!! And this is entirely different!! This was unexpected!! And Mukti!! Well,on Fresher’s night,we didn’t call you our daughter just for namesake! It had a very deep reason!! Navu do you even know you are much important to us because we are your Godparents”
Navya is shocked… So is the rest of SSS… She is stunned and blank… She stumbles… Cabir supports her… She looks at him in shock… She then looks at Abhi and Nandini … Nandini reads her mind and nods… She runs out of the cabin…
Mukti “Navya!! Wait!! Where is she going??”
Nandini “Don’t worry bhai… She will return just now…”
Mansi ” Ansh you shouldn’t have told her that… she is my daughter do you get that….she is my daughter…I am her mother not any godparent.. why did you tell her that…”
And starts crying vigorously…and also breaksdown
Manik looks at Nandini … They have an eye contact… He also gets to know it and sighs…
Navya returns to the cabin after sometime with small slow steps with a bunch of papers in her hand…
Manik runs and goes to her… Navya looks at him expressionless… She forwards him their forms!!
Though the faculty had some idea that this meeting will be related to their forms but were shocked when they saw their forms in their hands!!
SSS run to Manik and check Navya’s form… They realize that Ansh was saying the truth…
The signature column of the parents or Guardian had Ansh’s and Mansi’s signature there…
Vanshika reaches the cabin… She enters… The SSS and faculty look at her… Nyonika gives her her chair… She sits on it…
She looks at Ansh… He looks into her eyes and via telepathy,he tells her everything… Vanshika sighs…. Nandini notices it…
Nandini “So Amms, I guess you know everything now…”
Vanshika nods… Now Nyonika speaks…
Nyonika “You all got hold of the forms!! And you all took it outside!! In such risk!! How could you all be so careless??”
Manik “No Mom! We didn’t take the original forms… They are still in your cupboard,safe!! And not for a moment we have left it lying here and there… It was safely kept… Navya just brought it from there…”
Cabir “We know… If our forms are kept with such cautiousness at the most safest place,then there must be a strong valid reason for it… So how could we have been careless regarding it??”
Nyonika “This isn’t safe anymore!! You all breached it!! Being kids and amateur in the world of magic!! You sneaked into my cabin twice and got your forms!! Your first attempt was unsuccessful so you did it second time!! How?? And why??”
Mukti “Trust us mom we will tell you everything… Every single thing… But let one Matter get sort out first!! It’s becoming a mess!!!”
Abhi “How can Mom and Dad be Navu’s Godparents?? She is our sibling and is with us since long as I remember”
Navya “I don’t know how it happened… Godparent are selected by the biological parents… And you signed as my godparent on the most important document… My college form… Even ministry cannot refuse this document!! It means my parents selected you!! You knew my parents!! You all know them… Still you didn’t tell me!! (She takes out the photograph) I have the proof!! They are here… With you all!! In this picture… (All except Manik look curiously at picture… The man crawls out of the Raj’s pocket and looks at it… Raj doesn’t realize it being engrossed… Even Navya doesn’t notice it as she herself in a turmoil… She is crying) This was kept with our forms!!! Coincidentally I found this there… Cabir, you were right!! I would be able to solve all my mysteries today!!! And see… The biggest mystery of life is unveiling itself!! I got an information about my parents!! They are related to the glorious faculty of Hecate College of Witchcraft and Wizarding!! (She joins her hand in front of the faculty) plzz tell me who are my parents and how are they related to you all…”
Mansi “No Navu you are my child..I am your mother…I am your mom naa plzz don’t leave me”
Navya hugs Mansi and cries out: Mom you will always be my mom…and I won’t leave you but plzz tell me who are my biological parents I just want to see them..how they look…”
Ansh points at a couple in the photo…the woman who looked same like her..and a man beside her…
Ansh “they are…Pavitra and Shashwat Mehta..your biological parents…”
She looks at the Murthys tearfully…
Navya “But please tell me… Tell me about my parents… What happened to them?? Where is my Mom?? And Dad?? What happened to them??”
Ansh “I am sorry… I can’t tell you that… It am bind by your Dad’s word… I am not suppose to reveal anything to you… ”
Navya “If not you the who will tell me dad??? Who will answer my questions?? Who will tell me??”
The Man changes back to his human form but no one notice it due to current situation… But he intervenes… He could not wait more… He showing his back to everyone and is covered in shawl from top to bottom…
The man “I will… I will tell you everything… It’s time you should know…”
The SSS look keenly at him… Raj is surprised as he didn’t realized when he went out…
The man drops his shawl and turns around slowly… His face is revealed…
He is none other than Shashwat Mehta!!!!!
SSS feel groundless beneath their feet… What has happened to their day?? All the dead ones together got only this day to be found alive on Earth!!!
Navya (murmurs out of shock) “Dad!!!????”
