Mv: hmm….dono bhaiyyon ko ek hi bemari hai…..kuch bhi ho jaaye kaam …. nahi rokenge……who kaam to karte hi rahenge……

 

 

They both laugh……..

 

 

In the breakfast table…….bhumi goes to serve mansen juice…….

 

 

M: tumse kitni baar kaha hai….mujhe tumhaare haath se kuch nahi chhiye

 

 

Shefali and yuvraj smile

 

 

B: par papa…..

 

 

M: (looks at her very coldly) main tumhara papa nahi hoon

 

 

Su: papa aap ye kya keh rahe hain…..bhumi aapki bahu hai……

 

 

M: bas suraj bahut hogaya …. Ab main nahi chahta ki tum is larki tarfdaari karo……

 

 

Su: main bhumi ki tarafdaari nahi balki sirf sahi ka saath de raha hoon……

 

 

Mansen stands up from the table in a fury……..

 

 

M: sahi ka saath……..saahi ka saath……suraj aaj tumhe sirf ye larki sahi lagti hai……tumhara baap nahi jisne tumhe pal poskar bada kiya hai……

 

 

Su: nahi papa!! Aap mere liye sab kuch hai par bhumika bhi to iss ghar ki……..aapki bahu hai

 

 

M: main nahi manta isse apni BAHU!! SMAJHE TUM!!

 

 

Su: par kyon papa

 

 

M: kyonki ye larki uss layak nahi hai……..

 

 

Su: nahi papa!! Bhumi bahut achchi hai…aap use ek mauka to deejeye………shayed tab aap bhumi ko sahi tarah se pehchaan payen………

 

 

M: main nahi tumhe pehchaanne ki zaroorat hain is tarah ki larkiyon ko……..

 

 

The argument gets on heating up!!

 

 

Su: papa…. Aap kaise keh sakte hain ke ye larki achchi nahi hai…..

 

 

M: suraj main iss tarah ki middle class ki larkiyon ko achchi tarah se jaanta hoon……ye iss ghar main sirf arjun ke paison ke liye aaiyi hai………..

 

 

He continues……

 

 

M: jis din arjun ke paas kuch nahi rahega ye use mudhkar bhi nahi dekhegi!!

 

 

Bhumi feels bad…….

 

 

Su: sirf bhumi humari tarah aamir nahi isiliye aap uske  bare main ye sab keh rahe hai

 

 

M: yehi sach hai

 

 

Su: nahi papa ye sach nahi ……..aapki chhoti soch hai….

 

 

Mansen and all are shocked……..

 

 

Su: aapki iss baat se main kabhi sehmat nahi tha……..sirf amir log hi achche nahi hote…aapki soch galat hai……..aur isiliye main is baat main aapka virodh zaroor karoonga………

 

 

Shakunatal interrupts……..

 

 

S: bas suraj bas……ye tumare papa hai mat bhoolo……

 

 

 

M: nahi shakunatala aaj isne saabit kardiya ki ye mera khoon nahi hai…

 

 

Suraj and all are shocked……….

 

 

S: ye aap kya keh rahe hain………

 

 

M: sach hi to keh raha hoon……..ye suraj jo humare saamne humse iss tarah bat kar raha hai……apni baap ki insult kar raha hai……..woh mera beta nahi hai…..

 

 

All are silent

 

 

M: aaj isne saabit kar diya……..ke sirf palne posne se  ek insaan ki asliyaat nahi mitthi……

 

 

Looking at suraj……

 

 

M: tum is larki ka saath de rahe ho….kyonki tum bhi inhi main ek ho……garib……anath…….jisse hum taras kha kar anthaashram se lekar aaye the……..

 

 

Suraj is shocked……….he looks up at mansen……..

 

 

M: haan…..tum humare bete nahi ho naa kabhi the na kabhi honge…..tumpar taras khakar humne tumpar itna bada ehsaan kiya……is ghar ke bete hone ka naam diya……pyaar diya sab kuch sab kuch diya……

 

 

Par tumne apne  baap ki beizzati karne main koi kasar nahi chhodi………

 

 

Shakuntala and baisaa stop him……

 

 

S: aap ye kya keh rahe hain……bas keejeeye……..

 

 

Suraj unable to react leaves from  there………mansvi goes behind him……..

 

 

Suraj goes to his room and sits in the bed……..he shows no reaction……..he's too shocked to react……

 

 

Mansvi enters and ……….sits beside suraj……..

 

 

Mv: Suraj!! Suraj……(tears slowly coming out of her eyes)

 

 

Suraj slowly turn her head towards her………

 

 

Su: mansvi ye ghar humara nahi hai

 

 

He slowly rmembers all the words said by mansen……..words like ehsaan……taras start ringing in his ears………

 

 

He closes his ears……..tears rolling from his eyes………

 

 

Su: nahi!!!NAHI!!! ye nahi ho sakta ye jhooth hai……main main is ghar ka beta nahi……….papa mere papa nahi……..mera iss ghar se koi waasta nahi……..main kuch nahi mansvi……..

Su: main kuch nahi mansvi……..mera koi wajood nahi hai……

 

 

 

Mv: (crying) nahi suraj!! Nahi!! Zaroor papa gusse main the isiloiye aisa keh diya hoga!!suraj ye sach nahi

 

 

But suraj starts crying and breaks down……he places his head on her lap and starts crying……..mansvi cries with him……

 

 

Bhumi who witnesses all this standing at the door feels sorry for suraj ………she runs to her room……

 

 

B: nahi!! Mere wajah se papa aur suraj bhaiyyaa ke beech……main ek pita aur bete ke beech agayi hoon.;…nahi ye sab meri wajah se ho raha hai…….

 

 

Arjun who was not there when all this happened…..enters the room

 

 

A: hey bhavri……..ghar main itni shanti kyon ha sab kaha hain……..

 

 

Just the he realize that she is crying……

 

 

A: bhavri kya huwa……

 

 

He turns her to face him………

B: arjun…who who

 

 

A: bhavri kisine tumse kuch kaha hmm

 

 

B: nahi arjun bhaiyya ……(she naarates the whole story)

 

 

Arjun is shocked……….he is taken aback…and

 

 

A: nahi bhavri aisa nahi ho sakta……zaroor kuch galatfaimi hai……bhaiyya iss ghar ke hi bete hai……mere bhai

B: par……

In shefali and yuvraj's room…….

 

 

Sf: wow!! Yuv …..yahi raaz to hum sabke saamne lana chahte the……..

 

 

Y: ab iss parivar ko barbad hona hi hoga………

 

 

Sf: Its time to celebrate……

 

 

They hug each other happily……….

 

 

 

 

Baisaa and shakuntala speak to mansen………

 

 

Ba: ye tumne kya kiya mansen……

 

 

S: aap jaante hai naa……..humne nahi suraj ne humpar ehsaan kiya hai….main maa nahi ban sakti thi……meri suni godh ko barke usne mujhpar ehsaan kiya tha……..uske aane ke baad meri zindagi ki har kami puri huyi thi

 

 

Main phir se maa ban saki…..

 

 

Aur aapne usse yeh sab kaha…..use kitna bura laga hoga(crying)

 

 

 

Mansen regrets for his words ………but his pride and ego doesn't let him back away from what he said………

 

 

 

 

A: (comes in the room storming wid anger) PAPA!! Aapne bhaiyya se jo kaha who sab jhooth tha naa

 

 

Mansen still angry…..

 

 

M: nahi…..SURAJ IS NOT MY SON……..

 

 

Arjun is shocked……….

 

 

 

Just then they all turn other side and all are shocked…………..

 

 

 

Suraj mansvi and khushi were comig down……they had their suitcases in their hands……..

 

 

Arjun goes to his brother………

 

 

A: bhaiyya zaroor papa se koi galti hui hogi……

 

 

 

But suraj doesn't listen him…..just moves ahead….

 

 

A: (in a convincing tone) bhaiyya meri baat suniye….bhaiyya….ye saman le aap kaaha jaa rahe hai?

 

 

Suraj still doesn't speak a word…….He proceeds to where mansen and shakuntal are standing along wid baisaa and dadaji

 

 

Arjun catches hold of mansvi…….

 

 

A: bhabhi aap to samjhaiye na bhaiyya ko kuch misunderstanding haii

 

 

Mv: (sighs) koi misunderstanding nahi hai arjun…..koi galatfaimi nahi hai………

 

 

Suraj goes and touches shakuntala's feet……but doesn't say anything……..similarly he touches baisaa and dadajee's feet……..

 

 

So does mansvi…….Then they proceed to take mansen's blessings….

 

 

They touch his feet ……but mansen doesn't respond……

 

 

Su: (folding his hands) mujhe itne saalon tak apne paas apne bete bana kar rakhne ke liye shukriya….aapka ye ehsaan main zindagi bhar nahi bhoola sakta…….

 

 

Just then shakuntala comes to him crying…….

 

 

S: nahi beta hume chodkar naa jao……please….main nahi reh paaongi tumhare bina……

 

 

Su: (sighs) maa main bhi aap ke bina nahi jee pata…..par ab mere paas aur koi ooption nahi hai……

 

 

Saying he leaves……

 

 

A: bhaiyya nahi jaane doonga aapko…..please mere liye rukh jaiye…….

 

 

Su: (placing a hand on his cheeks) arjun main jaha bhi rahoonga tumhe zaroor apne paas paunga…..par aab man yahan nahi rukh sakta……

 

 

Saying this they leave the house……..

 

 

Arjun cries……bhumi holds him……..

 

 

Shefali and yuv smile wickedly……….

 

 

 

Suraj masnvi khushi hire a taxi……….

 

 

Mv: suraj hum kaha ja rahe hai

 

 

Su: (sighs) pata nahi mansvi…..i don't know……

 

 

Taxi driver: sir aapko kaha jaana hai………

 

 

Suraj is unable to say any thing……..

 

 

Su: bhaiyya ……yaha kya is waqt hume koi kiraye par ghar mil sakta hai…………..

 

 

Taxidr: kiraye par??

 

 

MAnsvi is shocked……

 

 

Suddenly the taxi driver remembers something….

 

 

Td: haan sir yahan…..ashok van kahke ek chawl hai….aap chaho to

 

 

Su: (interrupted) haan theek hai …..udhar hi le chalo

Su: jee main suraj goen……..

 

 

Suraj stops…….mansvi looks at him…..

House owner: to kisi bhi sadaakchaap ko de doon apna ghar…….

 

 

Mansvi doesn't like that

 

 

Mv: dekhiye aap zara izzat se baat Karen……..

 

 

House owner: rupiyee dikhao to main izzzat doon…..warna kyun doon

 

 

Su: (folding his hands) nahi…..dekhiye aap hume yahan rehne de main aapko jald se jald deposit de doonga

 

 

House owner: theek hai…..agar 1 mahine ke andar deposit nahi diya to yahan se chup chaap jaane ka

 

 

Su: jee theek hai……

 

 

They are shown the house…….the house is very small…….just two rooms and a kitchen….

 

 

The house owner gives them the keys…..

 

 

Suraj and mansvi take a look at the house……

 

 

Khushi too looks around……

 

 

Kh: chee!! Papa ye hum kaha aaye hain……

 

 

Su: (unable to say anything) ye….erm ghar main

 

 

Kh: ghar?? Par ye to kahi se bhi humara ghar nahi lagta

 

 

Mv: beta aaj se yahi humara ghar hai

 

 

Kh: nahi yahan kitna dirt hai……its so unclean…..mama aap ghanu kaka se kehkar yahan bhi clean karwaiye na!!

 

 

Suraj eyes fill up on hearing this……He could not bear the

child's question………

 

 

 

He feels how will make khushi understand evrtything ……that what they are going thru!!!!!!!!!!!

 

 

 

Mansvi senses her husband's dilemma

 

 

Mv: (taking khushi in her arms) beta abhi bahut raat ho gayi naa…..kal subah ghanu kaka aa jayenge…..

 

 

Kh: okay…..par abhi to yahan dirt hai….uska kya karenge….(pointing at some dirt) dekho yahan…..wahan yaha to sab jahan ganda hai…….

 

 

Mv: beta aap jaakar wahan uss bench par baithe….mama jaldi ye sab clean kar degi hmm(kisses her cheek)

 

 

Khushi goes and sits in the bench and looks outside……..

 

 

Mansvi goes finding a broom…….which she finds in one corner of the house…….

 

 

Mansvi cleans the house……suraj keeps looking at her……

 

 

She finally manages to somehow clean the house and then makes khushi sleep……….

 

 

After khushi's slept…….

 

 

Mv: suraj aao lets sleep

 

 

Su: (sighs) nahi mansvi I cant sleep

 

 

Mv: par

 

 

Su: please mansvi don't force me!!!!

 

 

Mansvi doesn't ask him further……she goes and lays down on the floor and suraj keeps staring out of window the whole night……..

 

 

Meanwhile in heritage house…….

 

 

A: nahi bhavri papa ne sahi nahi kiya

 

 

B: sambhalo apne aap ko

 

 

A: smabhaloon kaise sambhaloon(angry) papa ne itni badi baat yunhi kehdi……….

 

 

Itne saalon tak bhaiyya ko apne bete jaise pyaar diya aur ab……ek pal main paraya kar diya……..

 

 

 

B:  papa ne jo kiya shayd galat tha

 

 

A: shayad nahi bavri…..wo galat hain…..aur unki is galti ka pachtawa unhe zaroor hoga dekhna tum zaroor hoga……
