Truth?

A flashback is shown. Nirmala comes home late. Ramnath argues with her and blames her for spending time with someone else in the name of overtime. She leaves it on his thoughts. Flashback ends.

Ram had problem with me working since the beginning. His practise wasn't working. He began to crib and taunt me all the time. It is no problem when a man goes out to work and his wife manages the house. But a husband cannot digest it easily that a woman begins to earn more than him. His practise began slowly. He got his first case because of Tiwari Ji. Our days changed but Ram's mind dint. He doubted me still. One day it crossed all the limits.

Another flashback is shown. Ramnath tells Nirmala to leave her job. We don't need such money. She asks him if he thinks she was doing something wrong which is why she got the job! You have such low thinking. He argues with her. if it was some other man than me then he wouldn't have borne it at all! I am such a good husband. She calls him bad. He slaps her. She refuses to stay back anymore with him.

Ahuja (her boss) tries to make Nirmala understand. She reasons that she did so much for her home, her family. What did I get in return? He tells her to go home right away. We regret the decisions we take in anger. She denies. Ram could never understand me. He never understood how much Shravan is getting affected by all this. Ahuja comforts her (maybe the same scene Ram showed to Shravan).

Nirmala says Ahuja sir was very nice. He couldn't even think of hurting anyone. But they say, we see what we believe in. Ram was only jealous, insecure and angry on us. He couldn't see anything else. Sumo asks her if she dint go back home. Nirmala replies that she went there to get Shravan but only got divorce papers.

Flashback shows Ramnath refusing to let Nirmala take Shravan with her. He calls her a characterless woman. She tells him she will file a case for her son's custody. He tells her to go ahead if she wants her son to lose his innocence in the court because of all the questions he will ask. Do it if you want this. She cries and signs the papers. You are forgetting that I am his mother. A mother can do anything but not wish wrong for her son. I can do one thing though. I will not let even my shadow fall on him but one thing is for sure. You will live in my shadow for all your life. She hands over the divorce papers to him angrily and walks out of the house. Flashback ends.

Everything broke apart that day. My dreams, my wishes, my family and my marriage! Sumo is shocked to know the truth. You could have tried to make uncle understand. Nirmala says I told you that it is toughest job to be a woman in this world. It isn't that this wouldn't have happened if I had left the job. It would have. The person who gets doubt once keeps on doubting forever. Ahuja Sir was only an excuse. Ram would have joined my name with anyone else too. Sumo asks her if she ever tried to meet Shravan. Nirmala denies. Ram would have lived up to his words then. I am sure he would prove me wrong before Shravan. What could I have done with his custody then? I thought that it is good that my son is happy atleast, even if he is far from me. I have got to know that Ram did what he always wanted to. He filled my son's heart with hatred. My son hates me!
