Hello all,
Bharti and Kamla patch things up
June 23, 2011 Episode WU
In Mridala's room, Mridaing puts up cute pictures of baby boys all over their wall. Gau smiles and asks him if he bought the entire shop. Mridang says that it was closing time otherwise he was in a mood to purchase another ten or fifteen pictures as every one of them looked cute and he could not decide on which ones to buy. Gau is blushing and says that she never thought that he would do such sweet lovable endearing things. Mridang says that he knows about how a pregnant woman should be surrounded by happy people and cute pictures of babies so the baby born will also be a happy baby. (Cute pictures of babies are OK, but is your monstrous no good MIL a good person to be around your wife). He keeps talking about how he would make his son a doctor, singer or may be a cricketer. Even if he doesn't choose any one of the above profession, he would make him a police officer . Gau tsks saying what you thought and what you are saying now. Mridang says that police officer is a good profession. In comes Chimti and says that you said it right SIL. Mridang wonders whose face did he see first thing in the morning that Chimti is agreeing with what he said and this is the first time that she has agreed on something that he had uttered. Chimti says that you are wishing for a boy and that's the best thing you have done so far. Mridang says what boy.. Then he turns around and looks at the pictures and says OMG I did not think about a boy when I bought these pictures. He smiles and says that there is definitely a superior power's hand is in this as he also wants them to have a boy. He says that he would play with his son, teach him how to box, etc.
Chimti says that we can only wish for a boy and what happens if Gau gets a girl. Mridang is very sweet and as any proud dad would say he says if it is a girl it will be their little girl (Mridang and Gau's daughter) and they will treat her like a princess and marry her off to a prince. He leaves the room letting them to chat amongst themselves (as though this NO GOOD WOMAN has not talked enough). As usual Chimti gets this notion out of thin air that Mridang indirectly said no for a girl although he said yes. She says that his actions speak for it as he left the room right after she brought the topic of a girl. Gau gets angry and says that where is she taking this conversation and why is it necessary to look at everything in a wrong perspective and paint a bad picture. She also says that she (Chimti) is set on ruining the peace and harmony of the house. Chimti asks her to calm down and think things through and says no man wants to call himself a dad for a daughter. She also says that if Gau is unlucky like her and gave birth to a girl then the husband would leave the wife just like how it happened to her ( Her husband probably left her because he couldn't handle her thieving, conniving, meddling traits. Most of all he probably went bankrupt feeding this woman who does nothing but eat all the time) Gau comforts her mom and tells her not to worry. But Chimti says that it is a must that Gau delivers a boy and she is going to make sure that Gau delivers a boy as she does not want her to suffer and live a lonely life without a son to take care in old age. She also brainwashes Gau saying that if Bharti delivers a boy then she will rule the house as she brought the waaris. Gau is completely under the spell of this NO GOOD woman and I am convinced that she has crossed over completely to the evil side. Lord save Bharti! But it is Bharti who brought this upon herself by bringing this greedy Mridala back.
In the garden, Kamla is planting some plants and Dhara comes over to talk to her. Dhara sits next to her and tells her that she had concerns about Bharti learning the skills and ways to get along and manage things in a big family like the Laals as Bharti comes from a small family of three. Kamla gets the flashback of Chimti crying about Bharti blaming her as the thief and her scolding Bharti (which we all know was uncalled for). Dhara says that she no longer has those concerns as Bharti is well accustomed and looks and behaves as though she is born and brought up in Laal family. However, Dhara says that Bharti has lot more to learn. She says that Kamla has all the right to scold her and make her understand the right ways just like she would do and requests Kamla to take care of Bharti just like how she is taking care of her plants. Being Kamini she is, Kamla just gets up and walks over to a plant that is uprooted and talks about how the health/survival of a plant depends on it roots which needs to be strong and can survive even if everything else is weak. Kamla analogizes that family is also like a plant and its DILs are its roots who should be able to withstand any kind of hardships and just like how a root would uphold a plant in all seasons, the DILs should uphold and keep their family together. (We all know that all of this is one sided and only applies to Bharti and not to Gau or Jhumka). Kamla leaves Dhara alone and says that she has to go and prepare lunch. Both Bharti and Bansi overhear this entire conversation between Dhara and Kamla.
Bharti runs back to her room crying and Bansi sees Bharti cry and goes over to talk to Kamla. (We can tell that Bansi is genuinely a nice guy ) Bansi questions Kamla if she is doing the right thing putting Bharti through all of this just for the sake of Gau's mom and he also asks her if he had to remind her of the kind of woman she is. Way to Go Bansi! Kamla says that it is not about Gau's mom but it is about the traits of the DILs of this house. Kamla says that she never accused Bharti of lying and all she did was to make sure that Bharti does not do anything knowingly or unknowingly to destroy the peace and harmony of the house that was obtained after a long struggle. Bansi gets upset and asks her how can she even think that Bharti would do anything bad when she is the one who gave up everything for the peace and harmony of this house. Bansi did an excellent job today driving home the point that how Kamla handled the situation was not right. He also tells that if she really thinks of Bharti as her daughter then she should be treating her like her daughter and not treat like how a MIL would treat her DIL.
In Bharti's room, Dhara is consoling crying Bharti and telling her not to feel bad about what Kamla said. Bharti says that she is not upset or angry with Kamla and she is only concerned and wondering what is that she did to make Kamla angry and she is not able to stand up to her expectations. Kamla is at the door and watching Bharti crying on her mom's shoulders. Dhara senses the situation and leaves the two alone. Kamla asks why Bharti is crying and Bharti stutters. Kamla asks would she be crying any time she scolds her. She says that she would do the same to Veena if Veena makes any mistakes and treats them both the same. She also says that Bharti is no different than Veena and to her both of them are daughters, but asks why Bharti is differentiating between her and her mom and does not accept her (Kamla) as her mom. Bharti says no mom and hugs her. They both get emotional and cry.
Kamla says that even when parents scold their kids there is love and affection in their scolding. She has kept the family together for these many years (Don't we all know what she did and how she handled her family. Please Lady! Give us a break and stop the baashan) She also says that it becomes her responsibility to train Bharti the ways and means to keep the family together and her way of teaching Bharti was to scold her (PLLLEEAASSEE) and does she have to write a note to say how much she loves her. She also tells Bharti not to worry about anything and wipes Bharti's tears. They both wipe each other's tears. Dhara sees this from outside and feels better that they have made up and wipes away her tears (It seemed like a pity party. Cry Cry Cry and more Cry. Tons of glycerin wasted. Hmmm)
Veena calls "mom" saying that the mid-wife is here and Kamla tells Bharti that this is the woman who is going to deliver her and Gau's babies (Haven't you heard of so called doctors and hospitals. Which century are you in lady ??) Kamla asks Bharti to freshen up and come down.
(Hats off to all the people who do the WU. What a tiring task..) This is my first WU and it is a very LOOONNNG update. Bear with me guys. Hit LIKE if this update was any good.
