Episode 14...
Santu looks around the house a while longer and catches a glimpse of the time, it had only just turned 8.15am and was shocked at how slow time is moving.. She thinks to herself maybe it is God's will that I take Maalik's blessing before my first day at work..
She walks up the stairs, trying not to pay attention to the decor changes that have been made.. She reaches her room, SanRaj room and peeps inside through the side window and finds it empty, she knocks on the door but no reply.. She feels downhearted that she came so far but nothing came of it..
Just then she hears a faint voice.. It has lost and upset tone to it, she stops in her tracks but doesn't turn around.. scared of whom she will be facing..
The voice again calls out this time a little louder.. 'Maulik! Suraj! is that one of you two??
Santu recognises the voice and turns towards the door and knocks again.... She hits the door lightly..
Voice: Who is it??
Santu stays silent...
V:Maulik? Suraj?
Santu lets out a little hmmm noise pretending to be one the boys..
The voice comes closer and speaks with only the door's distance between the two..
V: Ive opened the door.. Just close it behind you...
Santu heard the lock from the door opening and felt her stomach somersaulting with excitement and joy..
She slowly open the door and looked inside to find the room exactly as she had left it..😳 😳 Everything was the same.. Apart from the cluttered coffee table full of newspaper's everything was the same..
DM sat with his back to Santu and didn't realise who was standing in the room..
Santu looked up at the the new photo of her that had replaced what was at some point the oil portrait.. She wondered why DM had put up the photo instead of the portrait..
DM: How was the meeting? Did the deal go through? How's Suraj? Did you make sure you took your medicines on time?
DM asked questions thinking Maulik was stood in the room with him.. Santu walked closer to him.. He felt something unusual touching his heart, he heard a noise that was musical..
'Cham cham cham' The noise of payals.. The sweet noise that he had cherished in his mind and heart for many years..
DM: Im not turning around.. 😭 I know if i do, you will vanish again.. I hate when you come and leave me feeling broke each time..
Santu: This time Ive come to put you back together again.. 😳
DM was stunned, in all the years he had imagined Santu being near him she had never spoken, today he felt complete.. The missing part of him was near him... Santu walked closer to DM and put her hands over his eyes..
Santu: Guess who?
DM got up touching the hands, still not believing what he was feeling, sensing and hearing was true..
DM took Santu's hands away from his eyes but didn't let of them..
For the first time in all the years separation had he been able to touch her, and he didn't want to lose her again...
DM: I know your just a passing breeze that will leave me feeling cold again.. Why do you come and tease my lonliness? 😭
Santu moves closer to DM and frees one hand and pinches his arm😉.. DM jumps a little.. Realising that Santu is in fact not a dream or image but in full right in front of him.. 😆 😆
DM lets go and steps back.. His reaction shocks him but he feels pained and doesn't know what to say...
Santu: Maalik? 😕
DM: Why have you come? Leave me again? Hurt me again? Betray me like you did! He felt the sharp words hurt his tongue.. He was arguing with Santu when he should be embracing her but he wanted to get out all the bitterness..
Santu: Maalik.. I know you are angry and you have right to be.. But I have done my due and all I need is us to sort out things.. I need you now..
DM: (Still not coming closer) Why is it that you always think about others? Why is it that it never occured to you once that you would kill me by leaving me? Why do you not trust me to confide in me? I always supported your decisions even us not having children because I didn't want you to feel pressurized or you to feel that I have to take all the decisions alone.. So how could you take such a big decision about my life and not tell me?
Santu: Some things in life have to be understood not said.. And how can you say I don't love you.. Did you think just because I walked away I didn't love you?
DM: And what about your pathetic argument in jail? I thought you said you never loved me.. only my money and your status after marrying me..
Santu went silent and had nothing in her defense because she knew that DM was right.. She looked at him and he smiled faintly with his eyes as he knew she had been defeated..
Santu: So what now? Shall I go?
DM: Go and see what you get? 😳 😳 I promise you if you go no matter how much you try i'll never come back to you..
Santu: That much anger?
DM: Why are you a dufford? After all these years nothing changed you.. your a still dufford.. In my anger you can't see the hidden love?
Santu burst into tears.. Her heart hurt.. DM called her dufford after all these years made her realise how much she had missed him..
She came closer to DM and he pulled her closer still..
She felt his arms wrap around her.. He felt his heart beginning to beat proudly again... They stayed locked in embrace for what seemed like a few seconds but was lasting forever... neither one wanting the moment to end.. both crying in each others arms..
DM: Okay.. stop crying Santuudii..
Santu: You too Maalik..😆 😆
Santu takes DM's hand and walks with him over to the bed and both sit down.. She places her head on DM and asks him how he is, how things have been? She looks at him and begins asking about the family
DM stays quiet hoping her questions will pass but Santu wants answers.. DM explains everything about the accident and Khemi's actions...
Santu is shocked but holds DM's hand firmly..
Santu: Maalik, the children have had their way for long enough now so its time we act as parents and bring them back on track.. I know what we have to do will be hard but if we have each other we will win..
DM: But what does it matter now?
Santu: We as parents have the duty to ensure our children don't stray and if they do we must show them the way back!
DM: So what do we do now?
Santu: I have thought of something but i need your support and a promise from you!..
DM: I promise now tell me what I have to do...😉 😃
