Mv: ye mujhe nahi pata! Par dekho naa aise hi karte hai…aaj bahar jaane ka program banaya tha….ab phone karke bol rahein hai……time nahi hai…uff !!


B: oh!! To bhabhi is baat se naaraz hai………(laughs)


Just then in the hall……mansen's voice echoes………


M: PAR WHAT SURAJ!!!


He turns around…..


M: maine iss contract ki zimmedari tumhe di thi!! Phir ye contract hume nahi nanda's ko kaise mili………


Suraj remains quiet……all come out in the hall!!


M: I NEED AN ANSWER SURAJ!!


Su: papa main nahi jaanta!! Jaha tak mujhe pata hai…humse less quote karna bahut mushkil hai………


M: Pata lagao ke humare aur unke contract main kitne se farak hain!!


Su: jee papa!!


In the dinner that night……..


M: suraj tumne pata kiya hai……..


Su: jee papa!! And I am wonderin ….papa humare aur unke quotes main sirf 0.1 ka difference tha…….


M: WHAT!! Itna kam difference kaise ho sakta hai!


Sf: haan bhaiyya!! Bhaiyya I feel something is fishy………


Su: ho sakta hai!!


Sf: ho sakta hai nahi huwa hai…. I feel that something's gone wrong…….aisa to nahi ke humare contract ke quotes leak kiye gaye hon!!


Suraj and Arjun are shocked……..


A: par shefali kon leak kar sakta hai


Sf: arjun koi bhi ho sakta hai!!i mean company ka koi bhi person could be the culprit!!


Su: nahi!! Par is contract ke details ke bare main to sirf main papa aur arjun jaante the!!


Sf: haan bhaiyya par office main kisine chura liya hoga aur usne NANDA's ko de diya hoga!!


Su: nahi shefali iske chances bahut kam hai!!kyonki is contract ke details aur quotes sirf mere paas the aur maine ise kabhi office main nahi choda tha……….


Sf: to phir kaun ho sakta hai!! I will try to find out uncle don't worry


Mansen manages to give a smile!!!!!!!


Next day!!


Sf: papa mujhe lagta hai ke ye kisi office ke employee ka kaam nahi… bulki humare ghar ke kisi aadmi ka kaam hai!!


M: WHAT!


Sf: jee haan!!


Su: par shefali hum sab…..


Sf: hum sab to nahi bhaiyya par koi ho sakta hai


M: matlab


Sf: papa!! Agar us company ke kisi bade post main rehne wale ko agar ye contract ke details pata chal jaaye….

M: tum kehnaa kya chahti ho


Sf: yahi papa ke bhumika ka dost aksh ……..NANDA group main kaam karta hai aur who bhi General manager ke post par!!aur uske liye is contract ke prices badalna mushkil nahi hoga!!


Bhumi is shocked!!


A: shefali!! How dare u!!tum meri patni par kyon ilzaam laga rahi ho!!


Sf: main kisi par ilzaam nahi laga rahi hoon papa!! Main sirf sach bayaan kar rahi hoon!!


A: main nahi manta isse sach


Sf: tumhare mane ya na mane se kuch nahi hoga!! Sach ye hai ke bhumi ne is ghar ke saath daga kiya hai!!


Mv: ek min shefali……ek baar bhumi se poonch le


Mv: bolo bhumi


All look at bhumi!!


B: (crying) nahi bhabhi……


Shefali interrupts…..


Sf: who to mana hi karegi na mansvi bhabhi…..aap to use aise pooch rahi hai jaise wo sab kuch Kabul kar legi hmm!!

B: jaanti hoon!!


Sf: see


A: to!! Kya bhavri ke aksh ko janne se who gunhegaar ho gayi!!

Aur phir bhumi us din to who tumse milne tumhare kamre main aaya tha ………hall main bhi to mil sakte hain naa….mehmaan hamesha drawing room main hi achche lagte hain……..


B: nahi ye sab ……..(confused and cries)


Arjun remembers the day and also the fact that he had given bhumi the contract papers that day itself……..


Arjun is shocked………


Sf: bolo arjun


A: haan aksh milne to aya tha par that doesn't mean that bhavri is the culprit………


Sf: theek hai arjun main proove kar kar rahoongi who's the real culprit……..


A: Go ahead and Proove!!


Just then shefali calls someone and the person enteres…..all are in for a shock!!


Well its aksh!!


Sf: ye aksh hai…ise to tum jaante ho na arjun hmm bhumi!!


All look at aksh!!


Sf: bolo aksh kyon kiya tumne ye sab…..i mean why did u change the contract……


Aksh remains silent…..


Mansen in anger holds aksh's collar……


M: BOLO!!


As: (frightened) who sir! Actually maine ye sab bhumika ke kehne par kiya tha…………


All are shocked……


Su: main nahi manta iss baat ko!!


A: haan suraj bhaiyaa ye jhooth bol raha hai!!tum aisa kyon kar rahe ho aksh……..

Far standing there shefali is smiling…..


Sf: aur is bhumika ne itni chalaki se sab kuch kiya hai ke koi NANDA's par koi case bhi nahi kar sakta ………bhumika achcha badla liya hai tumne………


Arjun storms out of the room……..

In arjun and bhumi's room!


Bhumi is crying……..arjun has not come back home since the aksh incident happened……..she is really worried and is not able to think any thing….she keeps on crying……


Just then mansvi enters the room……

B: nahi mama aap ye kaisi baat kar rahi hainn main bhala arjun ki jaan……


M: shut up!! Just shut up!! Ye magarmach(crocodile) ke aansoo bahane ki zaroorat nahin hai!!

M: haan isiliye to us aksh ke saath milkar hume dhoka kiya iss larki ne…


Bhumi cries…..


B: nahin papa!! Ye sach nahi ha!!


Mansen in his anger catches bhumi's arm and takes her out of the hospital……but he is not able to as mansvi stops him mid way……..


Mv: PAPA!! Please………aap bhumi ke saath aisa nahi kar sakte hai(breaks mansens hand from bhumi;s hand)


Mansen is stnned and so are others


M: dekha suraj!! Tumhari patni……..


Suraj interrupts

M: suraj!! Tum apne baap ke khilaf jaa rahe ho is LARKI ke liye(pointing at bhumi)


Su: nahin papa!! Main sirf sahi ka saath de raha hoon!! Aur maaf keejeye papa iss baar bhumi sahi hai aur aap……..(he remains silent)


M: aur main kya……..bolo


Su: papa aap galat hain!! Aapne bhumi ke saath aisa behave nahi karna chahiye…..woh aapki bahu hai


M: achcha !! ab baap galat ho gaya!


Su: papa baat ko samajne ki koshish karen ap!!


M: main kuch nahi samjhna chahta aur is larki ko maine na kabhi apni bahu mana hai aur na manuga…..


Su: papa par!!


M: isne jo arjun aur humare parivaar ke saath kiya who galat nahi tha suraj…….bolo nahii tha galat!!


Su: papa! Please…aap is tarah bina sabut ke kisi par bhi ilzaam nahi laga sakte hain!!


Shefali interrupts………


Sf: aksh…..ye sabut kaafi nahi tha


Su: (looks at shefali) ye humara mamla hai……..tum beech main naa bolo to achcha hoga!!( his voice stern and cold)


Shefali falls silent……….


M: shefali galat kya keh rahi hai………


Su: galat nahi!! Par ye bhi to ho sakta hai ke ye aksh jhooth bol raha ho………main nahi manta ke bhumi aisa kuch kar sakti hai……jaha tak main bhumi ko jaanta hoon who aisa nahi kar sakti……..


M: SURAJ!!!!


Suddenly a nurse comes…..


Nurse: aap log kya kar rahein hain ye ek hospital hain………please maintain silence……


Mansen looks at suraj and goes away from there…….


After some hours………


Doctor comes out of the operation thetre……


M: doctor mera beta………


Doc: mr goenka ur son is now absolutely fine……..


A smile spreads thru everyone's face……..


Doc: 2-3 days main unhe discharge mil jaayega……..

Doc: jee haan par 2 ghante baad……..tab tak unhe hosh aajayega………


After 2 hours……..


A nurse comes out of arjun's room……


N: aap log chahen to arjunji ko dekh sakte hain……


Everybody goes in……..bhumi becomes the last one to enter……


But shakuntala stops her……


B: mama mujhe arjun ko dekhna hai…..


S: nahi!!(her voice stern) tum usse milkar kya ab uski jaan lena chahti ho………


B: nahi mama!!aap ye sab main arjun ki jaan……nahi…….


S: tum agar use sach main pyaar karti ho……aur agar tumhare dil main humare liye zara bhi izzat hai….to tum arjun se nahi milogi……..


Bhumi is shocked………


B: nahi mama…….aise mat kahiye……..main sirf ek baar use dekhna chahti hoon sirf ek baar……mama please……mujhse nahi raha jaayega


S: nahi!! Tumhe arjun ki zara bhi parwa nahi hai naa……..


B: mama! Mujhe parwa hai……..


S: to tum use nahi milogi……..


Saying shakuntala goes in………bhumi tries to peep in thru the blinds……but shakuntala closes the blinds………


Bhumi cries a lot………and then she leaves the hospital remembering shakunatala's words


Inside the room………..


M: arjun!!


Arjun slowly wakes up!!


S: mera beta!(sits beside arjun)


Arjun looks at shakuntala……he smiles……..


A: main theek hoon………


M: thank god!! Hum to darr gaye the!!


Mv: haan arjun apni ye halat……..apna zara bhi khayal nahi hai tumhe……..


A: bhabhi don't worry I'll be fine……….


Su: arjun hum sabko itni chinta ho gayi thi……..


A: I am sorry bhaiyya


S: ab bas mere bete ko mat dato….


Shakuntala continues……..but arjun starts looking for someone……everyone is there ……..but bhumi!!


Mansvi notices this……


Mv: arjun kisse dhoond rahe ho………


Mansvi knew that he was looking for bhumi!!


A: (startled……..looks at mansvi) nahi……..nahi bhabhi main kisiko nahi dhoond raha…..


Shakuntala diverts arjun's attention and starts speaking something else……..


Mansvi goes out and checks for bhumi……..but bhumi is to be found no where……she is surprised and worried……


In heritage house……..


Bhumi comes and cries a lot………..
