REVATI'S ROOM,

Bhushan and Kaushalya were talking to Revati about everything which they had missed in these 6 years. They were interrupted by a knock on the door. It was Akshat.

AJ: Revati, jaao Maa bula rahi hai aur apni Mummy ko bhi saath le jao.

She nodded and left the room with her mother.

AJ: Papa,.....

Bhushan: Nahi, wo kehne ka haq aapne usi din kho diya tha jis din aapne meri beti ka haath chhod kar kisi doosri aurat ka haath pakad liya tha.

AJ: Papa, mai jaanta hun ki maine bohot galtiyaan ki hai aur aapka mujhse naraaz hona bhi sahi hai. Har baar maine galti ki hai lekin aapne aur Guddan ne har baar meri galti ko maaf kiya hai lekin is baar meri galti ki koi maafi nahi hai. Lekin jo saza mujhe bhagwaan ne di hai wo bhi mujhse bardaasht nahi. Chahe to wo meri jaan le lete lekin Guddan se doori mujhe bardaasht nahi hai.

Bhushan: Lekin is baat ko to nazar andaaz nahi kar sakte na ki unhone meri beti ko mujhse chheen liya hai jis ka kaaran aap aur aapka ye parivaar hai. Kitna bharosa kiya tha maine aap par ki maine apni donon betiyon ko aap ko saunp diya tha lekin us ek din ne mujhse meri donon betiyon ko door kar diya. 6 saalon baad aaj mujhe ek khushi mili hai apni ek beti ko paa kar lekin ek dukh ka pahaad bhi mere sar par hai. Mera dil to ye maanne ko taiyar hai hi nahi ki Guddan mujhe chhod kar chali gayi hai lekin jo sach dikh raha hai use andekha bhi to nahi kar sakta na. Bachpan se use apne palkon par bitha kar rakha tha maine lekin aapke saath shaadi hone ke baad use kaanton par chalna pada. Lekin phir bhi usne wo khushi khushi kar diya sirf aapke aur aapke parivaar ke khaatir. Lekin kabhi bhi uski kisi bhi koshish ko saraaha nahi gaya. Har baar use beizzati sehni padi. Koi aisa pal nahi tha uska is ghar me jab usne apne aap ko saabit karne se apna ek kadam peeche rakha ho. Lekin phir bhi har baar use galat saabit kar diya jaata aur har baar use hi aapka aur aapke parivaar ka bharosa jeetna padta tha. Guddan ne itni kam umar me ek bahu, ek saas, ek patni ki saari zimmedariyan nibhayi aur usme safal bhi huyi. Lekin had to tab ho gayi na jab use apni hi mamta ka saboot dena pada. Ye saabit karna pada ki wo, ek Maa apne bachhe ki qaatil nahi hai. Ek baar soch kar dekhiye, agar koi aap par aisa ilzaam lagata to? Mujhe is dard ka ehsaas hai lekin aap nahi samjhenge. Agar aaj Guddan yahaan hoti to shayad uska dil itna bada hai ki wo aapko is baat ke liye bhi maaf kar deti lekin mai ek Pita hone ke kaaran aapko nahi maaf kar sakta. Mujhe mere dard ke saath, apne beti ke dard ka bhi ehsaas hai. Isiliye jo aapne kiya hai uske liye mujhse maafi ki ummeed to mat hi rakhiye.

He left the room without even listening to his reply. He was crying for the ill fate his daughter had.

DINING ROOM,

Everyone were on the dining table for the lunch but a seat was empty. Dadi was not feeling good to see the chair empty. It was none other than of AK's. So she asked a maid to summon her for lunch only if she is feeling well. The maid returned and said that she will be here within few minutes.

AK came and took her seat.

Dadi: Teri tabiyat ab kaisi hai?

AK: Mai thik hun Dadi.

She saw all the dishes on the table but didn't picked any of them as she didn't liked any of it. She just served some rice for herself and was playing with her spoon as she was least interested in eating the food present in front of her.

Ahaan: Mumma, wo real snake tha?

AK: Nahi bachha, wo ek toy thi.

Ahaan: To phir ab wo kahan hai?

AK: Wo jis ki toy thi na wo aakar use le gaye.

Arya: Angel, to aap us toy se kyun dar gaye the?

AK was left baffled with the question.

AK: Mai kahan dari thi? Sherni bhi bhala kisi saanp se darti hai kya!!

AJ left out a chuckle listening that as he remembered how she fell unconscious after the incident. AK glared him and tried her best not to burst out her anger on him.

Ahaan: Lekin Mumma.......

AK: Ahaan, bohot baatein karte hai aap. Lunch kariye.

Karan (whispering to AK): Ahaan ki Mumma wo sherni hai jo insaanon ko kachha chaba jaati hai lekin saanp, chipkali, cockroaches se darti hai. Right???

AK (whispering): Tumhara khana khane se pet bhar jayega ya mere taraf se bhi kuchh chahiye tumhe.

She said to him glaring him but he was unaffected by it. They were disturbed by a maid's voice.

Maid: Ma'am aapke liye call aaya hai.

She hands over the landline to AK.

AK (thinking): Mujhse baat karne ke liye kisi ne landline par call kyun kiya?

Ignoring her thoughts, she answered the call, excusing herself from the dining table. After ending the call, she returned back and handed the phone back to the maid.

AK: Mere room me mera phone hoga. Aap please la dijiye use.

She asked the maid and again took her seat.

AK: Revati, kisi ka call aaya tha?

She asked sternly.

Revati: Haa Di, aaya tha.

AK: Aur tumne mujhe batana zaroori nahi samjha.

Revati: Aap rest kar rahi thi......

AK (with a bit loud voice): To kya Revati? Mera phone switched off tha isiliye unhone tumhe call kiya taaki tum mujhe inform karo lekin tumn...........

Her sentence was cut by her phone's ringtone which the maid brought to her.

AK (on call): Aa rahi hun mai thodi der me.

She ended the call with a single sentence.

Ahaan: Mumma, aap kahin nahi jaayengi.

AK: Bas thodi der ki baat hai, mai waapas aa jaungi.

Ahaan: Nahin Mumma, aap hamesha aise hi karti hai. Ek din aap ghar par hai phir bhi aapko baahar jaana hai. Aap nahi jaayenge.

AK: Ahaan, baat samajhne ki koshish kariye, mera jaana important hai warna mai aaj ke din nahi jaati.

Ahaan: Mujhse bhi zyaada important to nahi hai na. Aap nahi jaayengi.

AK: Ahaan.....

Again her phone rang but before she could receive the call, Ahaan picked up the phone.

Ahaan: Inhone hi aapko bulaya hai na, mai inhe hi mana kar deta hun.

AK: Ahaan, phone waapas kariye mera.

He received the call ignoring his mother's words.

Ahaan: Aapne hi Mumma ko bulaya hai na to sun lijiye, Mumma kahin nahi jayengi. Aaj wo mere saath hi rahengi. Aap unse kisi aur din kaam kara lena. Abhi meri Mumma bohot busy hai.

AK: Ahaan, give back my phone.

She ordered him with loud voice. He handed her phone back to her.

AK (on call): Mai kal subah aa jaungi. Aaj shaam ko Ahaan ke liye puja rakhi gayi hai isiliye busy hun.

She ended the call and drank a whole glass of water to control her anger.

AK: Yehi baat maine kahi na, to aapko kya zaroorat thi kisi se is tarah baat karne ki, Ahaan?

Karan: Tum daant kyun rahi ho use?

AK: Ise daantna kehte hai? Mai samjha rahi hun ise.

Karan: To pyaar se bhi to samjha sakti ho na.

AK: Tum kuchh mat bolo. Ise laad pyaar de kar bigaad rahe ho tum.

Karan: Ab tum mujh par gussa kar lo. Sahi hai.

AK: Mai gussa kar rahi hun? Unbelievable!!!

She stood up from the chair and summoned the maid.

AK: Revati ke room me mera laptop hoga use lekar aa jaiye. Aur khaane ke liye kuchh fruits saath me le aaiye. Mai apne room me rahungi.

Ahaan was about to get up from his seat but was stopped by his mother's voice.

AK: Ahaan, complete your lunch and then leave.

He unwillingly made himself have the lunch because he knew his mother's anger wouldn't subside seeing his stubborn acts.

She left to her room and Ahaan too left for his room after completing his lunch. Karan followed Ahaan as he knew he would be upset seeing his mother's rude behaviour towards him.

Bhushan: Ye dikhti Guddan jaisi hai, lekin harkaton se to bilkul bhi nahi lagti.

Revati: Papa, aap zyaada mat sochiye. Di, aisi hi hai. Inka gussa naak par nahi sar par chadha hota hai. Aur jab aisa hua matlab inhe nahi dikhta ki saamne koun hai bas baras padti hai unpar.

Dadi: Lekin beta, khaane se kya naarazgi. Khaana to kha leti.

Revati: Khaane se naarazgi nahi hai balki naa pasandeedgi hai.

Dadi: Matlab?

Revati: Dadi, Di ko matar bilkul bhi nahi pasand. Aur aaj sab kuchh wahi bana hai. Matar ki puri, matar pulao, matar paneer, aaloo matar, gobi matar. Isiliye unhone kuchh nahi khaya.

Durga: To wo keh deti na, ham unke liye kuchh aur bana dete.

Revati: Ye, unka ghar nahi hai isiliye unhone kuchh nahi kaha warna ab tak poora ghar sar par utha liya hota.

Dadi: Lekin beta, khaane peene ke maamle wo apni ichha bata sakti hai na.

Revati: Aap log itni tension kyun le rahe hai unki. Wo chhoti bachhi to nahi hai na. Wo sab kuchh khud manage kar lengi. Aap log enjoy kariye.

Antara (whispering to Saru): Ab aayega na maza.

Saru: Kaise Antara ji?

Antara: Bohot achhi jamegi meri aur is heroine ki.

Saru: Aap kehna kya chahti hai? Aap paison ke liye Guddan ki hamshakal se dosti karengi?

Antara: Tum bewakoof hi rahogi. Meri usse dushmani me khoob jamegi. Ab to mujhe uske khilaaf use karne ke liye hathiyaar bhi mil gaya hai.

Saru: Hathiyaar? Kaisa hathiyaar? Arey, pehle nishaana to tay kar lijiye warna hathiyaar ka kya karenge?

Antara: Nishaana to mera kab se ready hai bas hathiyaar haath lagne ki deri thi.

Saru: Aap ye gol gol baatein kyun kar rahi hai. Mera dimaag gol gol ghumne laga hai. Aap seedhe seedhe bata dijiye na.

Antara: Mera nishaana hai uska beta Ahaan aur hathiyaar hai uska apna gussa.

Saru: Aap karne kya wali hai?

Antara: Karne ka to bohot kuchh kar chuki hun mai already. Lekin ab kisi aur cheez ki taiyaari karna hai.

AK'S ROOM,

AK was working seriously on her laptop while biting an apple. She was so focussed on her work that she didn't noticed when Karan entered her room.

Karan: Kya tha wo sab jo tumne neeche kiya?

AK: Kya kiya maine?

She asked him shutting her laptop down.

Karan: Ye kiska gussa kis par nikal rahi thi tum?

AK: Koi gussa nahi hai aur mai kisi par gussa bhi nahi kar rahi thi.

Karan: Pehle Revati par chillaya,  phir Ahaan ko aur last me mujhe bhi nahi chhoda.

AK: Maine kisi par gussa nahi kiya.

Karan: Kiya tumne!

AK: Nahi kiya!

Karan: Tumne gussa kiya!!

AK: Shut up!!

Karan: Dekho phir gussa kar rahi ho. Arey yaar, jab Ahaan is the most important one for you phir kyun ye faaltu ka gussa sar par chadha kar rakhti ho tum.

AK: I agree, he is most important for me, lekin kuchh kaam uske liye bhi karna important hai mujhe. Har baar uski zid ko lekar nahi baith sakti mai.

Karan: To ye baat tum use achhe se bhi to samjha sakti ho na.

AK: Achhe se? Aur kitne achhe se samjhaun use mai?

Karan: Ahaan bachha hai. He is just craving for your attention. Aise to har din tum shooting me busy rehti ho aur jis kisi din ghar par reh liya matlab kuchh kaam ke liye baahar chale jana hai tumhe. Kabhi uske saath time spend kar liya karo. He wants to......

AK: Ho gaya??? Ahaan ke taraf se waqaalat karne pohonch gaye. Ab jaao. Enough of it!!

Karan: AK, listen to me.

AK: Karan, please leave.

He left the room because he knew that there is no use of talking to her when she acts as an angry lioness.

After sometime, her anger cooled down and she realised that she was a bit rude towards Ahaan. So, she decided to talk to him and moved downstairs.

___________________________________

She went to his room but he wasn't there but only Arya was playing with her doll house.

AK: Arya, Ahaan hai kya?

Arya: Nahi Angel, wo yahaan nahi hai. Aap aaiye na mere saath kheliye.

AK: Abhi nahi baad me.

Arya: Ok.

She continued playing and AK left the room and went to Revati's room to check if he is there.

AK: Revati, Ahaan hai kya yahaan?

Revati: Nahi Di, Ahaan to yahaan nahi aaya.

AK: Tumne use kahin dekha kya?

Revati: Nahi, mai to kab se Mummy Papa ke saath hun. Kya hua koi problem hai kya?

AK: Nahi, kuchh nahi, bas usse baat karni thi. Tum ruko mai dekhti hun wo kahaan hai.

She searches for him all around the house but couldn't find him.

"Ahaan, bachha kahaan hai aap?"
She yelled in the house so that if he hears her, he would come to her. Everyone gathered listening her call.

AJ: Kya hua?

AK: Ahaan, aap ke saath hai kya?

AJ: Nahi, apne room me hoga.

AK: Nahi hai, poore ghar me nahi hai wo. Sab jagah dhund liya use, kahin nahi hai.

AJ: Aise kaise kahin nahi hai, hoga yahin kahin khel raha hoga.

AK: Kaha na nahi hai.

AK (to the officers): Aap log kahaan the? Ahaan kab se nahi hai?

Officer: Ma'am hamara shift abhi start hua hai, jo officers hamse pehle the shayad unhe pata ho ki wo kahaan hai.

AK: To pata kariye na. Aur aap sab!! 8 ghante meri shakal dekhne ke liye yahaan aate hai kya? Jaakar dhundiye use kahaan hai wo.

AJ: Calm down, wo yahin hoga, tension mat lo.

AK: Aap ka na restaurant nahi, meditation center hona chahiye. Yoga classes rakhne chahiye aapko to.

AJ: Kya bakwaas karte rehti ho tum!

AK: Aur nahi to kya tension ke time par "Relax, calm down" ka shlok shuru kar dete hai. Aap kariye apna "breathe in, breathe out " wala exercise. Mai kapalabhati karke hi thik hun.

Revati: Di, AJ sahi keh rahe hai. Shaant ho jaiye, BP badh raha hai aapka.

AK: Aadha BP to inka shakal dekh kar hi badh jaata hai mera. Tension to door ki baat hai.

Revati: Di, paani pijiye.(she handsover a glass of water to her)
Sab dhund rahe hai na mil jaayega. Aap baithiye shaanti se.

Saru (thinking): Agar ye sab Antara ji ka kiya dhara hai na to wo to gayi. Inka gussa to AJ se 1760 guna zyaada hai. Bhooki sherni lag rahi hai, kachha chaba jayengi unhe to. Jaldi se Antara ji se baat karna hoga.
