Part 7

Kamlesh takes a bottle to drink but finds it empty. He angrily throws the bottle, which breaks into pieces.

Khushi went inside the

house.

Kamlesh (sarcastically): Welcome. Aren't you ashamed of roaming with such ruffians during late nights?

Khushi: Dad, you can tell me whatever you want, but talking ill about an unknown person is not a sign of decency.

Kamlesh: Then is this a sign of decency on his part to take innocent girls like you for a ride? Or do you feel the need for a man?

Khushi: You should feel ashamed to talk about such rubbish things with your daughter.

Kamlesh: Keep quiet.

Khushi: All these days, I felt I was an orphan despite having you as a father. But ever since Arnav entered my life, I have found peace & solace in him. I am safe with him.

Kamlesh: Do you know about the person whom you love? His father was a simple clerk. He was living in a broken house. He earned just Rs. 5000/- in a swimming pool to make ends meet. And his friends are unemployed loafers. What a shame! Yuck!

Khushi: Yes, his dad was an ordinary clerk, but he was feeding his wife & children out of his earnings. He never lived with his family's income. He stayed in a broken rented house, but it's far better than those palaces that have been mortgaged. He was earning only 5K in a month, but it's better than those in debt. His friends are unemployed loafers, but they are not drunkards & gamblers.

Kamlesh: You are taunting me! What does your father lose when he drinks & gambles?

Khushi: My father doesn't lose anything, but my mom has much to lose.

Kamlesh: Shut up. Tell me, why didn't you go to the dance class?

Khushi: I don't want to go as exams are nearing & I have a lot to study.

Kamlesh: Keep your studies aside. You have to get ready for the stage shows within six months.

Khushi: I won't take part in the show.

Kamlesh slaps her.

He said, "You won't agree like that."

He takes the stick & whips her black & blue.

Kamlesh: Hereafter, if you meet that guy, I will do the same thing with you as I did to your mother.

Meanwhile, Rajdeep's men get funds for him with accountability.

Rajdeep: Well done, guys.

When he saw Kamlesh, he told his men, "You go to the office. I will catch you there."

Kamlesh meets Rajdeep.

Kamlesh: You have lots of money, but you don't smoke, drink, go to clubs, or spend money on women. You have not purchased a decent house, an expensive car & a cellphone for yourself. What do you do with so much money?

Rajdeep: Money isn't my need. It's my weapon. Please tell me what you want.

Kamlesh: My bottle is empty. I want to buy a bottle to drink.

Kamlesh: I will pay all your debts once my daughter enters the stage.

Rajdeep: I don't believe in the promises of my debtors. When I give, I don't do any favors & when I take, I don't spare anyone. When is your daughter going to perform on the stage?

Kamlesh: If it were in my hands, I would have made her dance now itself. But when that guy came into her life, her attitude changed. I don't want to get into any trouble. I like to live happily on her earnings. What's wrong with that? Tell me whether it is my fault that I got a daughter instead of a son.

Rajdeep: You are right, Kamlesh. Go inside the room & take the amount.

Both go inside the room.

Rajdeep's brother, Jagtap, looks at Kamlesh.

Rajdeep: Give him Rs. 100,000/- & write the amount in his account.

Kamlesh: I have never seen him before.

Rajdeep: He has just escaped jail after the Nasik bank robbery case.

Kamlesh: So sad, he had to go to jail.

Rajdeep: Going to jail & coming out is not a big deal. But my only concern is that he became a drug addict. He developed that habit in prison. I won't spare that person who had put him behind bars.

Kamlesh: Who is that unlucky person?

Rajdeep: He is ASR.

Kamlesh gets shocked & happy.

Kamlesh: Is is Arnav. His parents got shot in a bank robbery case.

Rajdeep: Yes, he is the one.

Kamlesh: It means that our enemy is the same. He is after my daughter.

Rajdeep: Do you know his address?

Kamlesh: Yes, I know his house. Come, let's go.

Meanwhile, Arnav waits for Khushi, who meets him.

Arnav: Thank God, you finally came. I have been waiting for you for the past three days, at least four hours. I have never waited for anyone like that. It would be best if you had called me up if you had any problem or told Prerna about it.

Khushi: ASR, this is our last meeting. I won't be able to meet you hereafter.

Arnav held Khushi's hand & asked, "What have you told?"

Khushi: I can't marry you & I have decided that.

Arnav: Decision! It is the question of both lives. How can you decide alone?

Khushi: Don't forget that my life is involved in that. I have every right to decide about my life.

Arnav holds her hand tightly. Khushi's bangle breaks. 

Arnav: What do you think of yourself? If I give you one slap, you will come to your senses.

She frees her hand & says, "No use of such talks. I am leaving."

Arnav: I will kill you and slash myself to pieces. What made you think you would walk out of my life & I would watch it quietly? You are a rich & spoilt brat; if I can give my life for you, then I can kill you as well. But I will never let you leave my life at any cost.

Khushi laughs.

Arnav gets shocked. He comes near her.

Khushi caressed his hair & said, "I wanted to see this side of your nature, too. I wish to see if your fear of separation is the same as mine. Also, I like to see if your craving for me is the same as my craving for you. I also wanted to see if our daily meetings have bored you.

Both of them emotionally hug each other.
