Bade Baap Ka Bighda Hua Beta...
Hamara Naya Watchman... Raghav Baba...
Prologue:
"Enough Dad! Enough with your constant speeches of your time and generation! Times have changed and so have basic human necessity," shouted Raghav on his father when his father refuse to give him money for going on another trip with some "spoiled rich brats."
Harish looked at his son angrily, and without even answering his fightback session, he didn't budge from his decision to not provide further support to his son's nuisance. It has been routine for Raghav to now go to clubs and party hard, and make one to two trips out of country... He never wanted Raghav to be one spoiled brat like all his other friends... Those people come from family, who has been fortunate enough to have been inherited with wealth since ages, BUT he..!! He has seen his own father working as a security man and struggling throughout his life.
Struggling to make his son and daughter a successful people, yet kind at heart! Harish looked at his father, Gokul's photoframe as he spoke, "See Dad! You made me this, but I have failed as father... Just because I provided all luxuries to my son, he seems to have started things and life for granted!! But I will not let him continue his lifestyle! I will make him good... and I am sure you will guide me ... You will send me angel."
In the other corner of the city, one could hear a girl's voice, "Mom, food is ready!!! I will set the table in few minutes..." she shouted. "Ok boss," came the sound from back to see her father and brother already making their way to dining table. She smiled, "Yes, Hungry people with Large stomachs are always the first one here!!" Pakya laughed at her taunt and she returned to her task of flipping the roti she was roasting. "So seems I have nothing more to do today," Neetu said as she came in kitchen and was about to pick up bowl. But she was stopped by pair of hands... Hands of her daughter, "Bachha, (my child) let me just do this much." "No," came the reply from her, "Today was Sunday, and only day I am at home, hence let me do this whole thing, You just go and enjoy the time," was her reply in her sweetest tone ever. Neetu smiled and made her way to join Vitthal and Pakya on dining table. "Kalpi beta, bring it fast... Rats are running in my stomach," shouted Vitthal, "Arrey dad, they are just running inside you, but they are playing cricket in my stomach... Please bring food fast," said Pakya in his loud tone. A girl turns around with her hair flying back, "Abhi laai," (Bringing now). Kalpana took all the food on table and the whole family, happily enjoyed family dinner.
On the other hand, in Singhaniya mansion Raghav throws the phone on table and himself on the bed! "No matter what, I will go to Mauritius with everyone... and there I also plan to propose Christina. I am dead sure, she too likes me... For I do a lot for her... and help her around." Raghav thought dreamily, "But dad!! Grrr... what does he think of himself...! He thinks I am his good for nothing son, senselessly he has forgotten that I am same person who brought him expensive projects and profit to our same old Singhaniya constructions... But no matter what his needle always goes and gets stuck on the time, MY DAD HAD WORKED AS SECURITY MAN and RAISED us..!! and I am his useless son, taking him for granted... What does he now expect me to do? Sit whole day in that shit office and slog? No ways!!! I am Raghav, and I will get what i want to..." Determining to convince his dad, he again heads to his room.
While Vitthal, and his other gang members have met near soda shop in their Gokuldham society. All of them praise the soda of a shop belonging to man name Abdul and ask for second round, while Vitthal being secretary of the society, talks about certain things he has thought of, but not jotted down... Meanwhile Raju comes there, "Sahab... My anni is not well and I have to rush to Kolkatta as soon as possible..." All of them looked at him in concern. "Don't worry, Raju you move ahead, will manage..." said Vitthal. "No sir, this area though not that dangerous... but it's my responsibility... specially after this news of there roaming serial killer in city, I cannot leave this like it..." he said... Where most other agreed. Vitthal placed assuring hands on his shoulder, "You go, will find someone for the time span of just one month na... Infact I will talk to Harish Sahab ... He must be having some contact here, from Gokul Uncle's list." Vitthal replied. All of them agreed and told Raju to leave and take care... don't panic. Raju left the place. Vitthal looked at all, this society is build by Singhaniya sir, for the cordial relation he shared with all of us... as employees and some being his father's sole support system, I am sure he will be able to help us out... His own society. Vitthal without even wasting a second took out his phone, and dialled his number.
Harish picked up the call, and answered it... Vitthal told him about the issue. Harish was disappointed and was almost about to apologize, but he saw Raghav standing on the door... and he said, "I will see and send in someone soon!" On the other hand, Vitthal for somehow connected his reluctance and said, "No Sahab, we aren't asking for anyone ... But we just thought to inform you, as within two days we will hire new watchman,... just for 2 months, and you might have to be pay him, and request you to not cut Raju's salary for these months, he really needs our support." Harish smiled hearing him, and agreed. He disconnected the call and looked at Raghav there.
Raghav came in, "Dad... I am asking you for final time, will you please let me go on this trip or not?" he asked irritated! "On one condition!" came the reply. Raghav sighed a relief to find someway out... Harish continue, "Raghav, as I keep on saying, your grandfather and I put in whole loads of efforts to build this..." Raghav rolls his eyes as he says, "Yes, it was no great favour on us... You wanted luxury life... and you too lived happily, why are you counting seeds of the past...?" Hairsh smiled, so that you as well know... living life isn't as easy as you point it... What I expect you to do is live that life... survive in it... and earn yourself a trip. Raghav was shocked.. "So blackmail to make me work in office with some other stupid project? ? Dad I am already working on that project of building a resort... I ain't undertaking any new thing ..." Harish looked at him, "You will earn the money in same way... YOUR GRANDPA did!"
Raghav laughed hearing him... "You gotta be kidding me Dad!" He pouted, "I hope?"
Harish smirked, "NO! You will be Watchman for 2 months in Gokuldham society and I will give everything you need for your Mauritius Trip! And that is the Deal! If you agree then go and get selected by those people ... I will not recommend you... Pass all your test and don't you dare let them know you are my son!!!, or else... I have anyways frozen all your accounts... YOU ARE GROUNDED!"
Raghav was shocked as Harish left the place... "You are so Cruel Dad!" he muttered Angrily. After leaving the room, Harish looked back as he self talked, "I am sorry beta, I would never want to see you suffer, but to take right actions on right time, I have to do this and make you face realities!!! Make you WATCH MAN!"
