Part 15:
Arjun's House:
Arjun struggled on uncomfortable couch drifting to sleep at late night. He woke up slipping to corner jerking his body. He sat with sleepy face which turned into surprise, when his eyes fell on hot cup of tea on side table. This is new. No one ever served him anything.
At the age of 12 he started cooking for himself. He had no support except insurance money of his father. He started working at 16years not even when he is major. He rented a small place with earning money and let out his father's place on rent adding to his finance. He was under his uncle's guardianship who stood as support till he is 18. His uncle couldn't do much as he have his 3 children to be taken care of. He was alone and used to it.
He sipped tea which definitely tasted better than his own. Aarav wished him Good morning joining him on his side.
Aarav - Arjun. Yeh dekho. Yeh mamma ne banaya.
Aarav gave sketch made by Sakshi.
Arjun - Wow Aarav. Bahot acha hai. Aapka mamma kaha hai?
Aarav - Mamma taiyaar ho rahi hai. Mamma ne kaha hum dono bahar jayenge.
Arjun - "Bahar?!"
Hearing them Sakshi came there. Arjun saw Sakshi in the same saree she wore yesterday.
Sakshi - Woh mamma ke ghar jaane ki soch rahi thi. Court hearing ke baad wahi shift hojayenge.
Arjun - Mein bhi aata hoon.
Sakshi denied saying she will manage.
Arjun - Agar kuch chahiye toh mujhe batao.
Sakshi nodded.
Sakshi - Mein ne breakfast bana diya hai.
Arjun - Teekhe.
Sakshi - Aarav, Unc..
she looked at Arjun who already pressed his lips.
Sakshi (continued) - Arjun ko bye bolo.
He looked surprised at her. They shared a smile. Sakshi and Aarav left while Arjun got ready for ETF duty.
ETF:
Arjun - Shantiji ka discharge hogaya hai.
Arjun said disconnecting his call.
Sameer - Good. Aur yeh official papers hai. Shivaji ka hearing parso hai. Special court mein.
Arjun's phone buzzed.
Arjun - Aarav. (After few seconds) Teekhe. Mein aa raha hoon. (To Sameee) I have to go.
Arjun informed Sameer and rushed.
Arjun's House:
Aarav is sitting in living room hanging his head down.
Arjun - Kya hua?
Aarav - Hum ghar pe gaye te na. Tab waha pe mama tha. Unhone mamma ko bahot gandi batein kaha aur kaha hum waha nahi reh sakte. Colony walo ne bhi humein waha rehne se mana kiya. Mamma bahot ro rahi thi.
Aarav narrated in his innocent voice. Arjun asked Aarav to sit there and left to meet Sakshi.
Sakshi stood at window with stream of tears rolling down her cheeks. Her thoughts disturbed the view she is standing opposite to. She could only see blank spaces.
Arjun - Sakshi.
She wiped her tears hearing his voice. He is surprised to see him there at this hour.
Sakshi - Aap?!
Arjun - Aarav ne call kiya aur sab kuch bataya.
Sakshi - Aapko taqleef.."
Arjun - Taqleef mujhe nahi tumhe ho rahi hai. Aarav ke uppar se chatt cheenta hua dekh kar. Mujhe aana chahiye tha tum dono ke saath. Aarav ke upar bahot bura asar padta hai inn sabka.
House which was in the name of Sakshi was transferred to his name. When she went to house he was already there with colony people who abused her and denied her stay. Her brother showed her papers and pushed her from there.
Sakshi - Meri wajah se Aarav ko taqleef ho rahi hai. Humesha meri wajah se. Abhi rehne ke liye ghar bhi nahi hai.
Arjun - Tumhari wajah se Aarav ko kabhi taqleef nahi hogi. Rehne ke liye ye jaga hai na. Tum dono kahi jaane ki zaroorat nahi hai. Mein akela rehta hoon. Aap dono mere saath raho.
Sakshi - Aapko taqleef...
Arjun - Phir se taqleef. Sakshi mein tumhare liye kuch nahi kar raha hoon. Aarav ke saath ajeeb sa connection judd gaya hai. Mein usse taqleef mein nahi dekh sakta. Tumhe aise dekh kar woh bahar baeta hai.
Sakshi - Aapko..
Arjun - Pehle ye aap hato. Ek he ghar mein rahenge toh abb aap-aap nahi chalega.
Sakshi smile agreeing.
Evening:
Aarav - Mamma humare sab log bure hai kya?
Sakshi startled.
Aarav - sab aapko bure bolte hai.
Sakshi - Nahi Aarav. Log bure hotey hai, rishtey nahi.
Arjun who stepped in house heard her. He recalled his mom in comparison to her. His mom is one who left him in broken house and Sakshi is one who is trying to build house for Aarav.
Sakshi - Arjun. Tum kab aaye?
Arjun - Abhi!
Arjun left without saying anything which troubled Sakshi a bit. From the time she met him, She saw him angry, determined, funny, caring and kind but never upset concealing his emotions.
Night:
Sakshi lost her sleep on the day she lost her Aarav. It's been 2 days she is out of jail but still struggle to sleep. She is scared to blink while Aarav beside her thinking her day dream will break. Adding another sleepless night in her dairy she came out of her room and saw Arjun standing in the balcony admiring night sky. She hesitated but joined him.
Arjun - Tum soye nahi.
Sakshi - Neend se dosti toote hue bahot saal hogaya.
Arjun passed an understanding look.
Sakshi - Aap bhi nahi soye.
Arjun - Nahi. Yaadon ki shor mein neend udd gaya hai.
She realized he is still upset and sad about something. She stopped herself reminding that she is not close enough to ask his secrets - but she can help distracting.
Sakshi - Aap sach mein pados ke uncle jaise baat kar rahe hai.
Arjun (glared) - Uncle! Phir se?!
Sakshi (laughed) - Abb tum aise baatein karenge toh mein kya karoon.
Arjun - Tumhe subah kaise pata chala? Tu ne Arjun uncle se mujhe Arjun bana diya.
Sakshi - Pata chal jata hai. Tum jitna bhi chupane ki koshish karo, mujhe tumhara face mein dikh jaata hai.
Arjun - Accha! face reading ha. Toh mein kya soch raha hoon.
Sakshi - Aap kisi chees ki wajah se upset ho. Actually sad ho and don't worry, mein nahi poochungi.
Arjun (Smiled) - Logon ko dusron ke life mein dakal dene ka bahot curiosity hota hai. Tum ajeeb nikle.
They laughed.
Pre-cap:
Arjun - Sakshi, daer ho rahi hai chalo.
Sakshi - Arjun bahot darr lag raha hai.
Arjun laughed.
Sakshi (glared) - Has rahe ho.
Arjun - Hasu nahi toh kya karoon. Students darte hai school se - teachers nahi.
Sakshi - Arjun!
Arjun - Kya Arjun? Abb chalo.
