Episode 19
The door knocked twice and Santu opened to see a small, timid, fragile figure before her.. Perched on her nose were large glasses with small beaded eyes staring, questioning..
Santu walked back into her room, surprised at the visitor and without speaking asked her to come in..
Baa took her place upon a chair that was placed in the center of the room..She looked up and Santu with both tearfully happy but painful eyes..
Not knowing what the outcome of her questions would be, Santu began to speak…
Santu: Aap yahaan? Why have you come here??
Baa: I've come to see my daughter..
Santu: Daughter..!! I'm afraid you are not where you should be.. I am no daughter to any one.
Baa: I know this is all a pretence. You may have fooled the others but I know the truth… I know what happened that night.. How you saved Dharamraj and …
Santu: And what?
Baa: And Birwa..
Shocked that Baa knew that Birwa was the real killer, she didn't want to give up so easily..
Santu: What are you saying? I killed Arjan.. With these hands.. I murdered him..
Baa: Stop Stop.. I know the truth.. Birwa told me everything, I have known that you were playing the role of a mother to protect her child.. But why? Everything could have be resolved.. These problems would never have got so bad..
Santu realised that Baa in fact did know the truth and lying would not change what the truth was..
Santu: Yes, I didn't kill him.. How could I? But how could I let my innocent daughter suffer? As a mother it was my duty to be a shield and protect my daughter and I did just that.. I am sorry however that she confided in you.. I never wanted anyone to know..
Baa: You feel bad for her confiding..!! Are you serious? She was a child and it had already destroyed her but things became worser as time went by so eventually she broke down and told me and your babuji everything…
Santu: Does anyone else know?
Baa: No.. She took a promise that no one should know..
Baa explained to Santu that Birwa became very withdrawn from all activities and began acting very strangely. She would spend ours upon end in her room.. Then a day came when Babuji suffered a heart attack and the doctors were sure that he would not survive.. Birwa came to babuji in the dark and confessed her crime as she didn't want him to die hating her mother.. Baa fortunately heard the entire conversation and miraculously Babuji recovered. Things began changing and Khemi threw Kaddu out.. Then small excuses of medicines bills caused arguments so Kaddu and Shanky took Baa, Babuji and Birwa..
Suraj was young and had become attached to Toral so he stayed.. As Birwa became older she came out of her depression and she went to Antwerp… After returning she opened a business from stratch with her husband..
Santu: Husband…!! Birwa is married.. How, Why, When…
Santu couldn't believe her ears that her daughter had grown up and was in a sacred relationship as marriage..
Baa: He is a very cultured and hunhaar man.. He is elder to Birwa but loves her very much..
Santu: Does he know?
Baa: Marriage is a sacred relationship and its foundations are built with trust and love.. Birwa never wanted to marry but when he came into her life he brought happiness, colour and laughter.. She learnt to smile again.. He prosposed but Birwa refused each time until once when she finally confessed her crime to him.. He was shocked and hurt but never stopped loving her..
He saved her from any bad and completed her by taking her hand.
Santu: He accepted her with her crime.. He is a gem and I am happy that my Birwa could get such a diamond..
Baa: Both your daughters are lucky.. Shashank also is a diamond..
Santu and Baa carried on talking until Baa finally stood up..
Baa: I better go.. I think you should tell everyone the truth and end this suffering of yours and Dharamraj's forever..
Santu: This is your house.. You can not go.. I want you to live here..
Baa: This is just a house now.. Not a home, I want you to be happy with Dharamraj but I also want there to sneh, prem and care for one another, which was lost in this massive house.. I can't live here as no matter how big it is, I feel suffocated with the hatred.
Santu: But no house can be a home without the blessing of elders.. It always needs you to be there..
Baa: No, you are wrong.. It needs a mother… and you are that mother who can save this family from being nasht.. I want to see my family together but I know the cracks in relationships are to deep to be filled now..
Santu: I will fill those gaps.. I promise you.. All the differences will be bridged and you will see your family together again. Those who wronged you will do prashytap and bring you back into the home with honour and the respect you deserve. I will make my house a home again. I will make this a mandir again..
Baa: I have full faith in you..
Saying this she placed her hand upon Santu's head.. 'May God give you happiness and safalta' she blessed her.
Santu: A woman can take many forms. She can be a friend, a mother, a daughter, a sister, a wife but when she becomes definite about something she stops at nothing till she achieves her goal.. Her roop is one that can be changed and is relative with each relationship. Her goodness should never be misunderstood as she can be like lava when she erupts.. The evilness has won many times but this time I will change the rules and ensure that truth and righteousness win..!!
I promise you baa.. I will make this family exactly as it was 10 years ago.. I need your blessings and wishes and I will fulfil my promise no matter what..
Baa: The battle has begun already.. The pandavas won because the fought with truth and goodness in their heart.. Although their opposition was their own they focused on their aims and won.. Vijay..
Santu: I will be Vijay..!! I will win..
This was the new birth of Santu and although she had DM on her side, she knew this was a battle that she must engage in to prove to herself that she could win.. She would win..!!
Precap: Khemi holds the hunter out to hit Toral and Santu grabs it firmly..!!
