Its late in the night………they all are just walking on……


S: iss tarah……hum kaha jaaayenge


Bhumi is not able to see this condition of her family……she in her mind……


B: bhabhi mujhe maaf kar dena……mujhe aapko diya huwa vaada todna hoga……


Bhumi speaks up!!


B: mere paas ek jagah hai


M: nahi main tumhare bhai ke paas nahi jaana chahta


B: nahi aap galat soch rahe hai…..main kabhi keshav bhaiyya ki baat nahi karti……


A: to phir

They all arrive outside a chawl…….Its the place where suraj stays…….


S: yahan rahenge hum


A: yahan kaha bhavri

Baisaa: haan par kiski baat kar rahi ho!!


B: chaliye…..


They all go and follow bhumi ……..she stops outside a house….and rings the bell


Suraj and mansvi are playing with khushi……..


When they hear the bell……..


Mv: suraj is waqt kaun ho sakta hai


Su: lemm see whos it


He opens the door……He is shocked……and also mansen and all are shocked……


When mansvi doesn't hear suraj's voice…..she goes to find out……


She too is shocked…….


Shakuntala……is not able to control herself…….hugs suraj……


Suraj is stunned……..


Bhumi comes forward………


B: bhabhi mujhe maaf karen……par iss waqt mere paas iske alawa koi aur raasta nahi tha…..


A: bhavri tum jaanti thi


B: hmm……par bhabhi ne mana kiya tha batane se……


Su: par baat kya hai…..mama aap ro kyon rahi hai


Mv: suraj pehle andar to aane do……


Mansen feels terribly sad……for this was the same lady whom he had said so much……and his son……he had said so much but still now suraj was the same……..


They all enter in…….


Su: par baat kya hai


S: beta who shefali ne(narrates the story)


Mv: What!! Shefali ne aapke saath intna gandha mazak kiya


A: haan bhabhi who humse….infact mujhse badla lena chahti thi


Su: par usne iski saza pure parivaar ko kyun di……iss tarah ……


A: who isiliye……kyonki who hum sabse nafrat karti thi


Su: shefali ne bilkul achcha nahi kiya hai….use uski saza jaroor milegi


Bhumi speaks…….


B: bhaiyya kya tab tak hum yahan reh sakte hain!!


Suraj and mansvi look at each other……


Su: (smiles)bhumi ye koi poochne wali baat hai…….(looks at mansen)maana papa ne mujhe apna beta nahi mana ……par mere liye to humesha aap hi mere mama papa rahnge……..


Mansen looks at suraj……


Su: aur aap hi mera parivaar


Everyone is happy…….


Arjun hugs suraj……


A: bhaiyya…..thanks a lot that I found u!! bhaiyya aap ghar chodkar kyon aaye……..


Su: who jaroori tha……


Just then khushi comes out of the room……..


Kh: DADU!!!BAISAA!!ARJUN CHACHU!!BHUMI AUNTY!!!DADI


All heads turn to her……


She comes and hugs Mansen first………


Kh: dadu ab to aap aa gaye na…..ab to wapas hum apne ghar jaa sakte hai naa


All are sad……..


Kh: boliye naa……mama kehti …….ke aapke aane ke baad hum sab wapas ghar jaayenge


Mansen is not able to speak……..


Just then bhumi comes near the kid and takes her in her arms……


B: (smiles) achcha batao khushi beta aapne yahan kitne dost banye hmm


Saying she takes khushi near the window and talks to her….


Khushi narrates her incidents to bhumi……..


Mansen is relieved and so is arjun and shakuntala


Mv: khushi aap sabko bahut miss karti thi……..


M: hum bhi…..


Khushi and bhumi start playing near the window………


They all sit on the floor…………


Bhumi and mansvi start serving food……..


But mansen is not in a mood for eating……..He doesn't come for the dinner…….


He stands near the corridoor……and keeps staring out….


Mv: (wid food in her hand) bhumi papa kaha hai


S: arre haan kaha hai wo


B: mama aap khana serve Karen main jaakar dekhti hoon


Bhumi comes out and sees mansen standing outside……sad and depressed…..


B: papa!!


Mansen turns around……..But seeing bhumi he looks the other side…….


B: sorry!! Aapne mujhe papa kehne se mana kiya tha naa


Mansen looks at her…..


B: khana lag gaya hai…..khana khane chalen


M: mujhe nahi khana


B: dekhiye ye bhi aapka hi to ghar hai…….kya bete ka ghar apna ghar nahi…….


Mansen is silent


B: main jaanti hoon aap pareshan hai…..par yahan sab pareshan hai…..aur agar aap himmat har jayenge to hume kaun sambhalega?


Aap is ghar ke bade hain! Aapne sabko sambhalna hai…..shefali ne jo kiye tha who galat tha…..par kya aap jo kar rahe hain who sahi hai……


Mansen looks at her


B: aap hum logon ka sahara hai…..humara vishwas hai…..aap iss tarah mat tootiye….pls andar chaliye…..sab aapka intezaar kar rahe hain


Bhumi is silent looks on……….


M: chalo andar chalte hain!!!!!


Bhumi smiles……..they go in……Mansen comes and sits for the dinner……..


But he finds everything odd……..He has never sat on floor to eat food…….


Baisaa understands his problem……..she places her hand on his shoulder……


They all somehow finish the dinner……….


The house just had…….2 small rooms and a hall apart from kitchen……..


Ghanu kaka said he would sleep in kitchen………


Mv: baisaa dadajee aap yahan iss kamre main so jaayen


Baisaa: par wo to tumhara kamra hai……hum wahan nahi soyenge….hum yahan hall main hi so jayenge…..


Su: nahi baisaa…….yahan hall main floor par sona padega…..aap andar jaa bed par so sakte hain


Baisaa: par


Mv: par var kuch nahi baisaa……aap meri itni si baat bhi nahi manegi


Baisaa touches mansvi's chin and mansvi smiles…….


Bhumi speaks up…….


B: haan us doosre kamre main mama papa reh sakte hai naa arjun hmm….right


A: haan


Su: sahi keh rahe ho(smiles)


Mansen and shakuntala feel bad……about how they had treated bhumi……but now bhumi was so much concerned about them…….


Dadajee: array phir tum log kaha sowoge


B: array dadajee!! Yahan hall main…….


Mv: haan dadajee……


B: hum to humari khushi ke saath soyenge(brings khushi near) hain naa(smiles)


Kh: phir aunty main aapko apni ek aur dost ke bare main bataoongi……


B;: theek hai(kisses her cheeks)


Suraj and arjun smile…….


They all arrange out and go to their respective places for sleep……….


Now in mansen's room


Mansen is lying down on the bed……..thinking……..


M: main kitna galat samjhta tha bhmika ko……shayad suraj aur mansvi sahi the aur main galat…….


Suddeny remembers the way he had spoken to suraj…….


Tears start flowing from his eyes……


M: maine kitni galtiyan kardi…….bhumika ko nahi smaj paaya…….suraj aur mansvi ke saath itna sab karne ke baad bhi……unke dil main mere liye koi nafrat…….koi shikwa bhi nahi hai……


In the hall where arjun,bhumi,suraj,mansvi,khushi are sleeping………..


Bhumi is sleeping next to arjun……but she finds something moving….and she is disturbed……she opens her eyes……


She sees arjun changing his sides……and is not comfortable sleeping on the floor…….


She feels bad…….for arjun has never slept like this on the floor……he has always got the best of everything….and now……


B: (in her mind) ye sab kahi na kahi mere wajah se huwa hai……agar main arjun ko nahi milti to uski shaadi shefali se hoti aur ye sab problems nahi hoti………


She starts crying…..


B: bas kisi bhi tarah ye mushkil khatam ho jaaye(in her mind)


She lies down but is not able to sleep……..


Next morning……..


Arjun gets up……but has severe backache…….


A: aahhhhaaa(keeping a hand on his back)……


Su: arre kya huwa


A: pata nahi bhaiyya…….a severe back pain……


Su: (keeps his elbow on arjun's shoulder) hmm janab ko cushion beds main sone ki aadat jo hai


A: haan…ouch…..bhaiyya aap yaha floor pe kaise so jaate hai


Mansen hears all this from inside……..he feels terribly bad…..


Just then shakuntala comes out in the hall………Arjun sees her and pretends to be alrite…..


S: array tum dono yahan kya kar rahe ho


Su: kuch nahi…main bas office ke lliye nikalne wala tha


Shakuntala goes in……..


A: achcha huwa bhaiyya…..agar mama ko mere backache ke main pata chalta to bahut dukh hota….


Mansen who is still seeing all this from inside……doesn't feel nice…….


Su: ek kaam kar arjun….main abhi office jaa raha hoon….tujhe doctor ke paas le jaata hoon


A: oh thanx bhaiya


Su: get ready


A: ok


He goes in the bathroom…….but theirs is no water…….


A: BHABHI!!!!!!!BHABHI!!!!!!!!!!


Mv: aarrrgh(keeping a finger on her ear) kya huwa…..itna kyon chila rahe ho……who sammne wali ki bhabhi bhi yahan aa jayegi


A: bhabhi no water…..


Mv: jee yahan neeche jaa paani bharna padta hai….main laati hoon(smiles)


Arjun is shocked…….


He goes out in the common balcony and ………he sees bhumi and mansvi standing near the queue for water…….


He cannot believe…….mansvi easily takes up the filled bucket…..although bhumi is unable to do so


She spills half water…..


Mv: arre bhumi….jaane do


She speaks to another lady


Mv: jee aunty…….bhumi ne zara paani gira di…..use thoda bharne degi


Aunty: jee


Bhumi again fills up the water…..This time she slowly brings the water


But she is not able to bring the water above…….Seeing this arjun's eyes wells up with tears…….


Bhumi is about to fall……..


Mv: array sambhal


Arjun rushes down……


A: arre bhavri……ye bucket mujhe do


B: nahi arjun tuumhe waise bhi backache hai……main utha loongi


A: nahi bhavri…..


B: main sambhaloongi


A: chup!!!! Give me the bucket and follow me quietly


Bhumi does so……mansvi smiles…….


Suraj and arjun get ready………and suraj takes arjun to a nearby doctor


Doc: zyaada problem nahi hai….a simple backache…..ye ointment le len theek ho jaynge aap


A: thanx doctor


Suraj and arjun come out of the clinic……..

Su: dekho arjun manta hoon papa ne mujhe bahut kuch kaha par unhe kehne ka haq hai…….itne saal unhone mujhme aur tumme priti me koi farq nahi samjha……..

A: jee bhaiyya sorry…..
