Okay, I'm writing after quite a long time. So let's see if inspiration has struck well.
14th February - Divided We Fall
This is a continuation of yesterdays preview. Thus, Santu has entered M-mansion after flinging Khemi aside like the two-bit rag she is! She walks up the stairs and is met by DM as he is descending. There is a small eyelock and the entire M-parivar is staring in awe and apprehension and wondering what will happen.
Much to everyone's surprise DM moves aside and without saying anything to Santu allows her to pass, while he carries on down the stairs. Santu reaches the top of the stairs and yells for Champakali in a firm and authoritative voice. Champakali runs to her.
C - Ji Malkin
S - Mere saath chalo
She leads Champa to her old bedroom. Unlocking the door she walks in, takes one good look around and then takes a determined step inside. She pulls the chair towards the dressing table briskly clambers on top and takes the haar off her portrait. Her face is set and her eyes dark. She leans over and places the haar around Subhi's portrait. Then with a soft smile she raises her hands in greeting to Subhi.
Climbing down from the chair she turns to Champa.
S - Remove everything from this room that does not belong to me and replace it with all my things. I want my room back the way it was. Take Behna's things and place them in her old bedroom.
So saying she swiftly walks out of the room, leaving an awe-struck but elated Champa to carry out her malkin's orders with no hesitation.
Santu arrives at DM's room. She walks in and heads straight for his picture. She takes one momentary glance before ripping the haar off and throwing it's torn remains on the floor. Whether he wants to or not, she thought, malik will have to learn to live again.
She heads back downstairs and stops at the top of the stairs. The rest of the M-minions are still lolling about in their respective places somewhat stupified into oblivion by Santu's force.
S - Champakali!
The shout is loud enough to resonate the whole house, but in particular the cabbage-filled ears of the two wannabe-malkins.
Just at that moment some women from Santu's Mahila Mandal enter the house. Moti is about to say something when Santu's voice asking the ladies to come in, stops her abruptly. Champakali has also come.
C - Ji malkin, apne bulaya.
S - I want you to remove this Laxman Rekha now.
Champa looks at the others. She sees moti glaring. She looks back at Santu.
S - What are you staring at? Get on with it.
Khemi is seething with anger, and storms towards the bottom of the stairs.
K - What do you think you're doing? Who are you to remove this Laxman Rekha?
Santu turns to face her and says firmly.
S - Is ghar ki malkin. Tum kaun ho?
Khemi is about to answer when Santu interrupts her with the answer herself.
S - Is ghar ki choti bahu. Yeh meri ghar hai. When did I give you permission to divide my house?
Khemi's bolti is bandh!
S - Remove it now.
Khemi is still under the impression that she can mow down Santu.
K - I will not live with these people.
S - Jaise tumari marzi. (Khemi looks as if she has been 𤬠slapped!!. And moti looks as if she's been shot with a stun-gun)
K - So leave it Champakali.
S - Take it off.
K - I said I wont live with these people.
S - And I said that's your choice. This Laxman Rekha will come off. How you decide not to live with these people is up to you. Champakali these ladies are here to help you. I want this house restored to the way it was ten years ago. Each and every item to be re-instated to it's previous and rightful place.
So saying Santu walks back up the stairs.
Ok I know this isn't much of a SanRaj scene, but I needed to lay down the groundwork for that. Hopefully I will have something for you soon, once I see what the state of play is with SanRaj in the actual show. But I thought I owe you all a little something for being so patient šš¼
