One week had passed since the final shoot and now Angad and Kripa were also back from their honeymoon...today was the final meeting before the grand event and Sahil Arora and his team had come to SG to have a look at the pictures...Kashish had been working so hard to put this whole project together...they were all sat in the conference room talking when Kashis comes

Kashish: Good Morning everyone..........sabse pehle I just want to say Thank you to my incredible team specilly Mr.Garewal..........and second I want to say Thanks to Mr.Sahil Arora.....kyunki Mr.Garewal aur Mr.Arora ki waje se hi mera project pura ho saka hai.....so let's begin the show everyone.........

Sujal just smiled in surprise...he was so happy to know that she took his name...Angad smiled and slightly nudged Sujal...Sujal just sat there watching her when Kashish dimmed the lights and turned on the projector...........The pictures started to come on the big screen and there were the pics of Kashish as a model for Aasma.........Kashish was surprised that this is must be a mistake when She looked at Sujal......Sujal was just so happy and lost in the presentation...........than She looked at Angad and Kripa.......they were happy too..........than she looked at Shikha and Alex and heard they are praising Kashish...........

Kashish (to herself): iska matlab yaha pe sabhi ko pata tha ki mere pe photoshoot ho rahi hai..........sabne jooth bola...........I hate liers........

Kashish gets up in anger and left for her office........She went into her cabin and opened the door...she sat down at her desk in anger and was thinking over what had just happened in the conference room...she took her notepad in anger and picked up a pen...she wrote something on the page and then tore it out from the pad...she folded it and put it in an envelope and then left her cabin...she went towards Sujal's cabin and slid the envelope beneath the door and left the office...now back in the conference room,know one realised she had left in anger...when Sujal got up and turned off the projector and switched the lights back on...everybody sat there started to clap at the wonderful presentation...Sahil Arora got up from his chair whilst clapping...

Sahil: muje to abhi bhi yakeen hi nahi ho raha .........I mean maine socha tha ki agar Miss.Roy model banengi to achcha hoga ........lekin woh kehte hai na ki hamesha dil ki baat haqeeqat banti hai..........waise ab to kuch bhi ho lekin agle hafte ki show stopper to Miss.Roy hi honi chahiye.......Ple Mr.Garewal........

Sujal: i will try my best to convince her Mr Arora...but thank you for the compliments...ab agar sab theek hai aap ke hisab se to hum agle hafte hi millenge...

Sahil: Ok Mr.Garewal........main chalta hoon muje kuch important guests se bhi milna hai..............See u at the show.......Bye Mr.Garewal.........

Sujal: i hope so...

He just smiles and then all three leave towards Kashish's cabin...they were about to go there when Sujal spoke...

Sujal: ek minute guys...mujhe zarra apne cabin se woh contract file leke aani hai...uspe Kashish ke sign chahiye...

Angad: thik hai chalo...

They went towards his cabin and opened the door when Sujal saw the envelope and picked it up looking confused...he opened it and read the note on the page...he looked up in shock...he couldn't believe what was written there...

Kripa: kya hua Sujal...tum aise hairaan kyun ho...kya likha hai isme..

Sujal didn't react and Kripa just took the page from his hands reading it...it had 'I QUIT' written on the page and Kashish had signed it...

Kripa: Sujal yeh sab...maine tumse pehle hi kaha tha...lekin tum thodi na kissi ki baat maante ho...ab dekho iska natija...

Angad: Kripa.......ab isme Sujal pe chilane se kya hoga.......ab jo hona tha woh to ho gaya.........ab hume yeh sochna hai ki ab aage kya karna hai.........

Kripa: ab aage kya Angad...........main Kashish ko achche se janti hoon .......woh kabhi wapas nahi aayengi......

Angad: to agle hafte show ka kya hoga........aur Sujal tumne to Sahil se kaha ki Kashish showstopper..........Sujal tu sun raha hai na........

Sujal: err..haan...woh muje kuch samaj me nahin araha ke main kya karun...muje lagga tha woh khush hogi apne aapko model ki jagah dekh kar...par yahan to sab ulta hogaya...muje har haal me usse waapis laana hai yahan...muje usse baat karni hogi...main usse maafi maang lunga magar kuch bhi hojaye usse waapis zaroor lekar aaunga...

Kripa: Sujal tumhe lagta hai ki yeh sab itna aasan hoga.......kya tum sabkuch pehle ke jaisa kar sakte ho........Sujal maine pehle bhi kaha tha ki woh dusro se alag hai....

Sujal: main jaanta hoon mujse galti huyi hai...magar ab jo hogaya hai main usse badal tho nahin sakta na...usse lagraha hoga ki maine usse dhoka diya hai...sab kuch itna achcha ja raha tha...aur ab to dheere dheere woh mujse baat bhi karne laggi thi...magar ab muje samaj nahin aaraha ki mein usse kya kahun...main kya karun Kripa...please muje batao...main kaise waapis laaun usse...tum jaanti ho na main Kashish ke bagair nahin rehsakta...bohat pyar karta hoon usse..

Angad: hum dono jante hai ki Kashish tere liye zindagi ka dusra naam hai Sujal........lekin ab yaha pe baatein karne se aur kuch nahi hoga......hume Kashish ke ghar jake use baat karni hogi..........

Kripa: Angad sahi keh raha hai Sujal..........hume Kashish ko samjake yaha wapas lana hi hoga..........aur yeh sab hum milke karenge.....Sujal tum ghabrao mat hum dono tumhare saath hai...........thik hai ab chalo kashish ke gahr chalte hai.....

Sujal: abhi jaane ka koi faida nahin...main jaanta hoon woh ghar nahin gayi hogi...hum raat ko jaayenge...

Kripa: thik hai........tab tak main bhi kuch sochti hi.......lekin tum ple tension mat lo......sab thik ho jayega..........

Sujal: hmmm...i really hope so...and thanks to both of you for your support...agar tum dono na hote tho pata nahin mera kya hota...

Angad: hum dono abhi itni jaldi bhi kahi nahi janewale........aur abhi to teri shaadi me muje bahot josh ke saath naachna hai.......are Kashish bhi dekhti reh jayegi jab hum teri barat leke uske ghar jayegnge.........ab hum chalte hai bahot kaam hai.......

Sujal just smiles slightly but it was obvious from his expressions that he was still worried...they got back to work but Sujal was not able to concentrate...now he was just waiting for the evening and was hoping he would manage to convince Kashish...

************************************************************************************

It was now 6pm in the evening and Sujal,Kripa and Angad arrived at Kashish's house...they were stood at the door and Sujal rang the bell...he was feeling very nervous and Angad noticed it...he placed his hand on Sujal's shoulder to support him and Sujal looked back at him and smiled slightly...when Nandini came out of the kitchen wiping her hands and then she opened the door...she was surprised to see the three of them stood there...she just smiled...

Nandini: arre tum theenon...woh bhi yahan?...ermmm pehle andar to aao...

Kripa: haa ......chale andar Sujal...........

Sujal: haa .......

Kripa walked in followed by Sujal and Angad.........

Nandini: aap log khade kyun hai.......betho aap sab...........ise apna hi ghar samjo........

Sujal just smiled slightly but he was still looking tensed and Nandini could tell he wasn't himself today...

Nandini: kya baat hai Sujal beta...tum kuch pareshan lag rahe ho?...aur Kashish to office me hai na...tum theenon akele kyun aaye ho?..sab kuch theek to hai?

Sujal: woh ....woh aauntie..........

Sujal looked at Kripa......Kripa signs him to hold on......

Kripa: aauntie main batati hoon ki kya hua......woh darsal baat yeh hai ki humne........humne Kashish ki marzi ke khilaf use hamare Ad project ki model banayi..........aur usi baat se Kashish naraz hoke apni job chodke chali gayi..........usne ek bar bhi humse baat nahi ki.........letter likh diya aur chod ke chali gayi aur abhi abhi aapne kaha ki woh ghar nahi aayi to woh subaah se ab tak kaha hogi.........

Sujal just looked at Nandini with teary eyes and now was even worried...he got up and started walking toward the main door...

Sujal: Kashish kahan hogi...woh ab tak ghar nahin aayi...woh thik to hogi na...Angad mere saath chalo..hume Kashish ko dhundna hoga...muje usse maafi mangni hi hogi...Angad please tum chalo mere saath...

Nandini: Sujal.........Kashish shaam hote hi ghar aa jayegi......main uski maa hoon aur itna to main apni beti ke bare me janti hi hoon.........aur aaj jo kuch bhi hua woh to bahot mamuli hai.......kashish is hadse se tut nahi sakti.......kyunki Kashish ki pichli zindagi me jo usne dekha hai uske samne to yeh kuch bhi nahi.......aur Sujal tumhe mafi mangne ki koi zaroorat nahi kyunki yeh jo bhi hua usme tumhari koi galti nahi.......yeh sab to Kashish ke liye tumhara pyaar tha beta.......aur main janti hoon ki tum meri beti se kitna pyaar karte ho aur is baat se muje sabse jyada khushi huyi hai.......is liye apne aap ko kasoor dena chod do.......

Sujal was shocked...he didn't expect Nandini to know...

Sujal: yeh baat aapko kaise pata chali?

Nandini: abhi abhi tumhare chehre se saaf nazar aa raha hai ki Kashish se tum kitna pyaar karte ho................maine tumhari aur Angad ki baat us raat sangeet ke baad sun li thi........aur muje is rishte se koi aitraaz nahi kyunki tum Kashish se sachche dil se pyaar karte ho........

Sujal just looked at her and then sat down kneeling infront of her...

Sujal: main aapse jhooth nahin bolunga...main Kashish se bohat pyar karta hoon...itna pyar ki uske binna ek pal nahin ji sakta...main jaanta hoon ki Kashish sabse alag hai...woh pyar me vishwaas nahin rakhti aur na hi usse kissi insaan ki zaroorat hai...woh khud apne liye lad sakti hai lekin is sab ke bawajood bhi main usse bohat pyar karta hoon aunty...main usse woh har khushi dena chahta hoon jiski woh haqdaar hai...muje nahin pata uske beete huye kal me kya hua hai lekin main sirf itna chahta hoon ki main uske aane waale kal me usse itni khushian dun ki woh unhe apne aanchal me samet na sake...lekin shayad ab woh muje kabhi maaf nahin karegi...

Nandini helps him to stand up and than again makes him sit on the sofa........

Nandini: beta main samaj sakti hoon ki tumhare liye Kashish kya hai aur main tumhare pyaar aur jasbat ki kadar karti hoon...........lekin tum Kashish se apne dil ki baat kaho usse pehle main tumhe Kashish ki biti huyi zindagi ke bare me batana chahti hoon..........meri beti ki zindagi ke woh kale pane jo usne hamesha ke liye fad ke fek diye aur main janti hoon ki woh kuch bhi kar degi lekin apni biti zindagi ke bare me tumse nahi kahegi............tum ruko main abhi aati hoon..........

Nandini gets up and goes upstairs towards her room whilst Sujal's eyes followed her...he looked at Angad and Kripa for a moment when he heard Nandini's footsteps...he looked up towards her and she came down holding a photo album...she sat down beside them on a rocking chair and looked at the three of them...silence was spread in the atmosphere and the three waited for Nandini to speak up...when she rested her head on the rocking chair and closed her eyes...

Nandini: Kashish 8 saal ki thi tab ki yeh baat hai...........main apne pati Harsh Sinha ke saath Los Angels rehti thi .....main aur Harsh dono Kashish se itna pyaar karte the ki kabhi hume dusre bache ki chahat hi nahi huyi........Kashish ko samundar bahot pasand tha ..khaas karke samundar ki lehre.....kitni hasti thi jab lehre uske chote chote pair ko chuti thi......woh muskaan aur masumiyat main kabhi nahi bhul sakti...is liye Kashish ke aathve janamdin pe Harsh ne use aur muje Beach house lake diya.........phir hum log waha shift ho gaye...zindagi us samundar ki leher ki tarah bahot hi khubsurat thi.......jab Harsh shaam ko office se aata to Kashish daud ke use gale lag jati aur beach pe jane ki zidd karti............phir dono ghanto tak waha khelte yaha tak dono ko khane ki bhi nahi padi thi.........mera woh chota sa aashiyana tha jisme main Harsh aur sabse jyada meri beti khush thi.........yeh dekho.........yeh uski beachwali tasvir........

Nandini takes out the photo from the album and passes it to Sujal who was sat beside her...he looked at the photo and saw a beautiful little girl carrying a heart warming smile on her face,making a sandcastle...Sujal slightly smiled at her innocence and then passed the photo to Angad and Kripa...they passed it back to Nandini and she looked at it once and smiled...she then placed it back inside the album and continued

Nandini: phir dheere dheere Harsh office se diar se aane laga.....office me kaam bahot badh gaya tha lekin apni pari ke chehre ki muskaan ko dekhne ke liye main use beach pe le jati thi..........Kashish ko bura lagta tha ki ab Harsh uske saath nahi jata lekin phir bhi ek achche bache ki tarah woh kabhi bhi Harsh se naraz nahi hoti thi .........aise hi zindagi badhti gayi.........us din Kashish ka bahot mann kar raha tha Harsh ke saath beach jane ka..........maine bahot bar phone kiya lekin phone nahi lag raha tha..........tang aake main hi use beach pe leke chali gayi..........main aur Kashish apna ek chota sa ghar bana rahe the jab humne durr se Harsh ko Stacy aur ek bache ko aate dekha.....stacy uski business secretary......us din pehli bar maine Kashish ko tutte dekha jab Harsh kisi aur bache ke saath tha.......aaj bhi muje yaad hai ki us din maine pehli bar Kashish ke aankh me aanshu dekhe the............

Nandini just closes her eyes and tears started flowing down her cheeks...it was as though she was reliving that painful moment again...Sujal placed his hand on her shoulder and she opened her eyes...he was just as shocked to know about what had happened...

Sujal: woh aisa kaise kar sakte the aap ke saath...jab aap itna khush the to kyun unhone aapko chodke kissi aur ka haath thaama...kyun Kashish ke baare me nahin socha unhone...ab main samja ke Kashish ne us din kyun kaha tha ke usse samundar se nafrat hai...kyunki woh wahin jagah thi jahan pe usne is sach ka saamna kiya...itni choti umar me itna barra dard woh kaise de sakte hain usse...magar sabse zyada to aapke saath unhone galat kiya...aur sabse gehri chot to aap ke dil ko laggi hogi...unhe aisa nahin karna chahiye tha...

Nandini: yeh dard bhi bahot kam the kyunki jo dard iske bad muje Harsh se mila woh aaj bhi muje chubh rahe hai..........woh manhus raat main kabhi nahi bhul sakti........kabhi bhi nahi........

Flashback starts..........

it was 10 o'clock at night........Nandini and Kashish were waiting for Harsh to come because it was Harsh and Nandini's wedding anniversary.....when the door bell rang Kashish got so excited and ran toward the door holding her favorite barbie and open the door..........Harsh was standing there with Stacy and their son Pete........Kashish's turned back and ran to her mom...........Harsh walked in holding hands of Stacy and Pete.......Kashish just hides herself behind Nandini holding her hand.......

Nandini: Harsh yeh sab kya hai...........tum ise is tarah ghar......

Harsh: Nandini......aaj main kuch faisla karna chahta hoon kyunki main bhi roz roz ke zagde se tang aa gaya hoon..........aaj se Stacy aur Pete isi ghar me rahenge.........

Nandini: mere hote aisa nahi ho sakta Harsh.........nahi Harsh tum hamare saath aisa nahi kar sakte........

Harsh: Nandini agar tumhe Stacy ka yaha rehna pasand nahi to tum is divorse paper pe sign kar do.......aur phir tum jaise chaho apni zindagi bita sakti ho lekin main Stacy aur Pete ko nahi chod sakta..........

Nandini: aur tum inke liye muje aur hamari Kashish ko chod sakte ho........Harsh ek bar Kashish ke bare me to socho........

Harsh: agar tumhe Kashish ke bare me sochna hai to tum beshak is ghar me reh sakti ho Stacy ke saath........

Nandini: nahi Harsh main aisa to hargiz nahi kar sakti Kashish ke saath..........main nahi chahti ki kal meri beti ko koi kahe ke uski do do maa hai.........apni beti ke liye main is divorse paper pe sign karke apni beti ko leke chali jane ko taiyaar hoon...........lao do paper muje........main sign karne ko taiyaar hoon.........

Harsh: Nandini........Kamzor aurat itne bade faisle nahi karte ......tum bahot pachtaogi...........

Nandini snatches the paper from his hand and signs and throws on the table...........

Nandini: kamzor hoti to aaj yeh faisla nahi leti.........Kashish...........apne kamre me jao aur saman pack karo...........

Nandini walks toward her room .....Kashish goes to her dad and holds his hand....and looks at her dad....

Kashish: Dad............mom keh rahi hai ki hum ja rahe hai..........ple dad mom se kahiyena muje kahi nahi jana......Dad main aap dono ke saath rehna chahti hoon....

Harsh: Kashish pack your bags..........

Kashish: Dad.......dont you love your daughter?.........

Harsh pulls his hand and pick up 5 year old Pete and holds stacy;s hand and walk toward living room........Kashish stares at them when her favorite barbie fall on the ground and she ran to her room.........after sometimes Nandini comes downstairs holding her bag and Kashish..........They step out of the house looking back at their beautiful beach house.........Nandini took a cab and went to LA airport at midnight......

flashback ends........

Nandini was crying bitterly and Sujal too was looking at her with teary eyes...he felt so helpless and he couldn't do anything...Kripa also had tears in her eyes after hearing this painful past of Nandini's and Angad was trying to quieten her down...

Sujal: kaisi aurat hain aap...aapke pati ka ek doosri aurat se affair chal raha tha....phir bhi aapne chup chaap sab kuch seh liya...ek baar bhi aapne yeh nahin poocha unse ki aapka kasoor kya hai...Kashish ki khaatir sab kuch sehti rahi aap...aap aurat nahin...farishta hai...aapki jagah koi aur hota to itna dard kabhi nahin seh paata...aapke pati bohat hi badkismat the jo unhone aapko kho diya...

Nandini: kya karoon ek maa thi .......sirf socha to apni beti ke bare me kyun ki main nahi chahti thi kal koi aake mere beti pe ungli uthaye........is liye mere ek faisle ne muje aur Kashish ko...aadhi raat ko airport pe lake khada kar diya.........

Sujal: aapke pati ke alawa koi aur nahi tha Los Angels me............I mean phir kaha gaye aap dono..........

Nandini: Harsh ke alawa mera is duniya me aur koi nahi tha..........list me dekha to sabse pehli flight New York ki thi........bina kuch soche samje main 9 saal ki Kashish ko leke New York aa gayi.....samaj me nahi aa raha tha ki kaha jau kya karoon........jab airport pe muje ek hindustani taxiwala mila......usne mere aur Kashish ka rehne ke liye ek chote se aparment me intzaam kar diya........kuch hi dino me Kashish private school se public school me aa gayi.........kabhi usne ek sikayat tak nahi ki mujse.........phir main subaah me day care sambhalne lagi aur raat ko main rastaurant me cook ki job karne lagi.........jis beti ko main 24 ghante saath de rahi thi ab use dekhne ke liye bhi mere pass waqt nahi tha..........jab woh subaah uthti to main day care ke liye nikal gayi hoti thi aur jab woh school se aati to main rastaurant ke liye nikal jati thi..jab raat ko main ghar aati to akeli so gayi hoti thi..........woh Kashish jise tab tak neend nahi aati thi jab tak uski maa use kahani nahi sunati thi...........Kashish bas apne aap me khoyi rehti..............na koi dost na koi khelnewala saathi........bas chupchap apni zindagi me............aur kahi na kahi main bhi jimedar hoon uska is tarah banne pe.....shayad aaj isi waje se Kashish bache aur khane se nafrat karti hai kyunki jo waqt uska hona chahiye tha woh main bache aur khane ke piche barbad kar deti thi..........

Sujal places his hand on hers...

Sujal: aap khud ko kasoor waar mat thehraiye...main jaanta hoon aap pe kya beet rahi hogi tab...ek akeli aurat ke liye kitna mushkil hota hai yeh sab karna...aapne Kashish ki khaatir din raat ek karke kaam kiya hai,taki uski parwarish achche se hosake...aur shayad aapki issi mehnat ki wajah se Kashish ne itni kamyabi haasil karli hai...kasoor aapka nahin,aapke pati ka tha...agar Kashish ki haalath ka koi zimmedaar hai tho woh hai uske dad...aap ne to ek maa aur baap dono ka farz nibhaya aur ab main samja ki Kashish kyun apna naam itne garv se leti hai,kyunki Kashish ka naam aap jaisi ek maa se juda hai...woh bohat khushkismat hai ke aap uski maa hai...

Nandini: janti hoon...........aur yeh baat maine mehsoos bhi ki hai ki Kashish ke liye main kya hoon lekin phir bhi main kuch bhi karne ko taiyaar thi woh muskaan ko dekhne ke liye.......phir kuch mahino bad hamare padosh me ek hindustani parivar rehne aaya jiski beti Ria Kashish ke hi class me thi..........dekhte hi dekhte dono best friend ho gayi aur woh purani wali Kashish wapas aane lagi............puri society un dono ki dosti ko janta tha.......ek pal bhi aisa nahi hota tha jab Kashish Ria ke bare me aur Ria Kashish ke bare me nahi sochti........phir dekhte hi dekhte dono badi ho gayi........jab koi 18 saal ka hota hai tab woh sabse pehle party karta hai lekin Kashish ne kya kiya......sabse pehle jake apna naam Kashish Harsh Sinha me se Kashish Nandini Roy kar diya aur us din muje ehsaas hua ki aaj bhi woh dard Kashish ke andar zinda hai...woh kuch nahi bhuli.........sirf mere samne woh bhulne ka natak karti rahi...........aur main samjti rahi ki woh bhul gayi..........lekin main khush thi jab Kashish aur Ria ne milke faisla liya ki woh dono NYU join karna chahti hai aur apna ek career banana chahti hai.....................

Sujal: to ab uski woh saheli kahan hai?...Kashish ne to kaha tha uska koi dost nahin...

Nandini: Kashish ke dost.........college me jane ke baad ek ho to batau........Kashish ke itne sare dost the ki muje yaad bhi nahi lekin Ria uske dil ke sabse kareeb thi .........jab NYU me london se Rohan aaya.........kuch hi dino me woh Kashish aur Ria ka itna achcha dost ban gaya ki agar aaj bhi tum NYU jaoge to tumhe unki tasvire waha milegi kyunki teeno hi soccer team me the........Kashish ko soccer khelna bahot pasand tha khaas karke Ria aur Rohan ke saath..........aur meri izzat ke bina woh log college ki car race me bhi participate karte the........Kashish ne dono me itne medals jite hai ki main bata nahi sakti..........meri beti ki woh wild life main kabhi nahi bhul sakti kyunki woh khush thi......yeh rahi uski tasvir jab woh soccar ke final game jeet ke aayi thi.......

Sujal looks at the photo...Kashish war stood in the photo holding a trophy and Rohan and Ria were stood besides her...they all looked so happy and were laughing in the photo...Sujal was just lost in Kashish's smile...he showed the photo to Angad and Kripa and then passed it back to Nandini...

Kripa: aunty agar Kashish itni khush thi,to phir aisa kya hogaya ki Kashish phirse waisi hogayi jaise woh tab thi jab aapka divorce hua tha?

Nandini: phir dekhte hi dekhte unki college puri ho gayi.........aur Kashish ko Time square se job mili aur Kashish ki waje se Ria aur Rohan bhi waha kaam karne lage......lekin un dino maine kuch mehsoos kiya........aur woh yeh tha ki Kashish Rohan se pyaar karne lagi thi..........uska woh sharmana aankhein churana sab kuch muje aaj bhi yaad hai........phir valentine day ki party me Rohan ne Kashish ko prapose kiya...........dono bahot hi khush the apne rishte se.......phir dekhte hi dekhte unki shaadi tai ho gayi.........do mahino me shaadi honewali thi lekin tab Kashish ko ek project ke liye ek mahina italy jana pada......use jana biljul achcha nahi lag raha tha khaas karke Rohan se durr hona......lekin woh khush thi ki wapas aake uski ek mahine ke andar shaadi hai........apni ek lambi si list muje aur Ria ko deke gayi thi shaadi ki............

Sujal was shocked..and Angad and Kripa were equally surprised...

Sujal: kya!...Kashish Rohan se pyar karne laggi thi...aur unki shaadi bhi tai ho chuki thi...

Angad: to kya unki shaadi huyi?..

Kripa: Angad tum pagal ho?..agar shaadi huyi hoti to Kashish Rohan ke saath hoti na...

Angad: par shaadi toot bhi to sakti haina...

Sujal: tum dono kyun behas kar rahe ho...

Kripa: Sujal yeh Angad bhi bekaar ki baatein karta hai...khair aunty aap bataiye...phir kya hua?

Nandini: ek mahine ke bad phir se New York aa gayi aur ab to Rohan ke parents bhi US aa chuke the kyunki Shaadi me sirf ek mahina hi tha..........uski job me sab itne khush the ki uski boss ki shaadi hai.....jaise jaise shaadi nazdig aati gayi Kashish ke chehre ka rang aur bhi khilta gaya.............pata hai usne apne Sangeet ke din Mehndi ki kitni zidd ki thi..........sirf Ria ko hi lagane di thi..........Kashish ko mehndi bahot pasand thi..........khaas karke us din...........yeh dekho kitni khush hai woh.........

Sujal took the photo and looked at Kashish who was looking so happy whilst showing both her hands which were full of mehndi...he passed it to Angad and Kripa...

Kripa: to phir Kashish ne aisa kyun kaha ke usse mehndi pasand nahin?..........

Nandini: kyunki uski mehndi ka rang kabhi thik se chad hi nahi saka...............

Sujal: main kuch samja nahin...

Flashback starts........

It was a day of their wedding.......It was going to be held in Hotel Grant.........Kashish was so happy.........Nandini wanted to dress up Kashish in bride by herself.......she was dressing her from last 3 and half hours.......

Nandini: haye......aaj meri beti ko kisi ki nazar na lage........lagta hai aaj to Rohan bhi apni kismat ko sukhriya karnewala hai ki uski kismat Kashish se judi hai............beta ek bar apne aap ko aaine me to dekho..........kitni soni lag rahi ho tum is jode me............

Kashish: nahi mom.....aapko pata hai na maine Ria se vaada kiya hai ki sabse pehle woh muje is jode me dekhegi....agar use pata chala to muje mar hi dalegi.....to ab aap mere saath chaliye hum uske room chalte hai aur dekhte hai ki madam abhi taiyaar huyi ki nahi.........

Nandini: Kashish suno to beta.............

Kashish holds Nandini;s hand and dragges her to Ria's room......Kashish was about to open when she hears Rohan talking to Ria........Kashish opens slightly and trying to listen conversation between those two with Nandini.........

Ria: Rohan.......tum samajne ki koshish kyun nahi karte.....aaj nahi to kal use pata chal jayega...........

Rohan: aise kaise pata chal jayega Ria...........hum Kashish ko kabhi pata nahi lagne denge ki hamari beech kya rishta hai.......yeh hamare aur tumhare beech ki baat hai...

Ria: ab hum jyada diar tak Kashish se jooth nahi bol sakte........kyunki......kyunki I am pregnant Rohan.........woh bhi tumhare bache ki...........

Rohan: main janta hoon Ria aur main is bache aur tumse bahot pyaar karta hoon lekin tum jante ho ki agar maine Kashish se shaadi nahi ki to hum dono ka career ruk sakta hai........aur main apne bache ko best future dena chahta hoon.....ple try to understand baby......

Ria: lekin mere bache ke baap ka naam........

Rohan: tum ek baar shaadi to hone do phir main tumhe aur is bache dono ko ghar le jake ek naam dunga ghar dunga........

Ria: aur Kashish ka........

Kashish opens the door with Nandini...........

Kashish: Kashish ka kya hoga uski fikar karne ki ab tumhe koi zaroorat nahi.......kyunki tumne bahot achche se mere bare me socha hai.......

Rohan: Kashish suno.........

Kashish: just Shut up..........Rohan tumne muje dhoka diya use muje hairani nahi huyi kyunki mardo ki fidrat me hai dhoka dena...........lekin Ria tum........tumne to 12 saal ki dosti ko dhoka diya woh bhi aaj ke din.....jab main dulhan ke jode me sajke apni shaadi ke mandap me bethnewali thi...jab meri us insaan ke saath saadi ho rahi hai jiska bacha tumhare andar hai.......ek bar tumne muje keh diya hota to muje itna dukh nahi hota lekin tum dono ne muje dhoka diya hai .......Kashish Nandini Roy ko......aur Kashish Nandini Roy itni aasani se kisi ko maff nahi karti........

Rohan: kya kar logi tum kashish.........Kashish yeh mat bhulo ki tum ek aurat ho jo kamzor hoti hai.........tum mere bina ek kadam bhi nahi chal sakti......isliye achcha hoga ki tum meri biwi banke chup chap mere saath mere ghar me raho............

Kashish: tum kitne galat ho.........aurat kamzor nahi hoti.........meri mom kabhi kamzor nahi thi to main kaise ho sakti hoon.........aur ab tum dekhna main apni zindagi me itni aage badhungi ki aage jake tum mere aage jukoge........ek aisa waqt aayega ki tum dono ko yeh Kashish Nandini Roy yaad aayegi lekin tab tak bahot dair ho chuki hogi.......tum dono ne chalke apne liye musibat sir li hai....aur yeh mera tumse challege hai ki main Kashish Nandini Roy apni pehchan banaungi ek naye tarike se ......ek aurat ke balpe.....tum jaise kamzor mard ki hasiyat se nahi..

Kashish holds Nandini;s hand and start to walk when she turns back to Rohan........Kashish took off her ring and throws it on his face.........

Kashish: jab rishta hi tut gaya hai to yeh pakdo tum apni jooti anguthi apne pass.......kyunki rishte anguthi se nahi sachchai se chalte hai jo tumme kabhi thi hi nahi.........agar tum me thodi bhi himmat ho to Ria se shaadi karke apne bache ko apna naam dena..........aur galti se bhi .......galti se bhi tum dono mere samne aane ki koshish bhi mat karna kyunki main soch bhi nahi sakti ki main tum dono ke saath kya kar sakti hoon.......is liye just stay away Mr.and future Mrs. Rohan Nanda...........

Kashish turns back and went to her house with Nandini.......Kashish just went to her wash room and trying to get rid of her mehndi which was saying Rohan's name on it......But it wasnt so easy to get rid of only mehndi bcoz there are still more wound to heal.....Nandini helps Kashish to change into her normal dress..............

Flashback ends.........

Nandini: jin haatoin se maine Kashish ko shaadi ka joda pehen ke taiyaar kiya tha usi haath se maine Kashish ka woh shringaar nikala hai lekin jante ho tab maine ek nayi Kashish ko phir se janam lete dekha......woh Kashish jiski aankhoin me aanshu hone chahiye the lekin uski aankhoin me gussa tha.....itna gussa ki dusre din jake sabse pehle Rohan aur Ria ko job se nikal diya aur phir khud bhi job chod di aur yaha tak ki US hi chod diya un yaadoin se durr bhagne ke liye....hum US chod ke yaha India aa gaye... lekin.shaadi ke naam se use itni nafrat hai ki aaj bhi woh kuch nahi bhuli........her roz main use tanhai me dekhti hoon..........un sare hadso ne uski soch ko hi badal ke rakh diya.........to yeh thi meri Kashish ki na bhulnewali dastan.........

All three of them were shocked and couldn't believe it...

Sujal: mujhe to yakeen hi nahin horaha ke koi insaan itna ghatiya hosakta hai...usne Kashish ko dhoka diya...na sirf Rohan ne par Ria ne bhi jo uski sabse achchi dost thi...aur Rohan se zyada badkismat aur koi nahin hoga...usne Kashish ke pyar ko thukradiya...ab main samja ki Kashish kyun kissi rishte me bandhne se darti hai...kyunki usne har rishte me dhoka khaya hai...siwaye ek rishte ke jo Kashish ka aap ke saath hai...itna kuch saha hai usne apni zindagi me...phir bhi woh nahin tooti...aur woh isliye kyunki aap uske saath hain...shayad aaj maine phirse usse dhoka diya hai..

Nandini: sahi kaha tumne Sujal........sabse pehla dhoka uske khudne baap ne diya phir uski dost phir uske mangetar ne.....meri aur Kashish ki zindagi ek si hi hai..........muje Harsh ne shaadi se bad dhoka diya aur Rohan ne shaadi se pehle......lekin main khush hoon ki jo sahara kabhi muje nahi mila woh shayad Kashish ko milne wala hai ....lekin ab to woh kisi pe bhi yakeen nahi karti use her jagah yahi lagta hai ki sab insaan matlabi hai........ab tum hi batao ki Kashish ki galti hai ki woh aisi hai..........shayad duniya hi meri beti ko nahi samaj sakti......

Sujal: isme Kashish ki koi galti nahin hai...uski zindagi me sabne usse dhoka hi diya hai to phir aur kya umeed ki ja sakti hai...Kashish ne apni zindagi me bohat dukh dekhe hain aur kaash me uske liye kuch kar paata...sirf ek mauka chahiye muje apni galti sudharne ka...phir main vaada karta hoon ki main Kashish ki yeh muskaan usse lauta kar rahunga...

Nandini: aur main tumhe her mod pe madad karungi Kashish ko pane me kyunki muje yakeen hai ki tum kabhi bhi meri beti ke saath kuch galat nahi hone donge.........

Sujal: aaj main aapse vaada karta hoon ki Kashish ko main kissi bhi takleef se nahin guzarne dunga aur na hi ab usse koi aur dhoka khaane dunga...abse dukh aur Kashish ke beech me deewar bankar main khada hoon...ab har toofan ko mujse guzar kar Kashish tak pohanchna hoga...main Kashish ko woh saari khushian dunga jiski woh haqdaar hai aur woh khushian bhi jo uske hisse me thi lekin har kissi ne un khushion ko cheen liya...

Nandini just smile at him and close the album when the doorbell rang.......

Nandini: lagta hai Kashish aa gayi........

************************************************************************************

Nandini gets up and wipes her tears and try to make a fake smile and opens the door.........Kashish just huges her mom and than seperates and smiles at her giving her favorite flowers..........

Kashish: aaj aapka din kaisa tha.........

Nandini: achcha tha..............beta tumse milne koi aaya hai........

Kashish: kaun.....

Nandini: Sujal.........Angad aur Kripa ke saath.......

Kashish walks toward the living room and sees Sujal sitting there with angad and Kripa...........

Kashish: Swatiiiii............meri coffee upper le aana...........

Kashish starts to ran to her room upstairs............

Nandini: ruk jao Kashish.........

Kashish just stood there and turns back.......

Nandini: Sujal tumse kuch kehna chahta hai...

Kashish: I am sorry Mom lekin muje is waqt kisi se bhi baat nahi karni..........

Sujal gets up from the sofa whilst looking at Kashish..

Sujal: please Kashish...aap ek baar meri baat to sunlijiye...main jaanta hoon ki mujse galti huyi hai par woh anjaane me huyi hai...muje laga aap khud ko model ki jagah dekhengi to aapko khushi hogi...mera irada aapko hurt karne ka bilkul nahin tha...muje maaf kardo Kashish...i'm really sorry

Kashish: just shut up Mr.Garewal.......jo log galti karte hai woh log safai nahi dete is liye apni galti ko mujse chupane ki to koshish hi mat kijiyega........aur aapko yeh hakk kisne diya ki aap meri marzi ke khilaf hi meri tasvir.....aur woh bhi sidhe conferance room me..socha kya hai aapne ki main auro ki tarah hoon jo aapke isharo pe chalungi....aapki is choti si galti ke liye main aapko court tak le ja sakti hoon lekin maine aapse kaha tha na ki aap achche insaan hai is liye aapko jane deti hoon........aap hamare ghar aaye hai........you are most welcome lekin mujse baat karne ki koshish bhi mat karna...kyunki mere bas me nahi hai aapko maff karna is liye please.......Mom meri baat ho gayi ab aap jane aur aapke guests......

Sujal was feeling so guilty and couldn't look her in the eyes...

Nandini: Kashish yeh kya tareeka hai kissi se baat karne ka...

Sujal: nahin aunty isme Kashish ki koi galti nahin hai...galti to mujse huyi hai aur Kashish ka mujpe ghussa hona jayaz hai...muje Kashish ki ijazat ke binna aisa nahin karna chahiye tha...main maanta hoon ki main apni aur se safaai deraha hoon magar maine apni galti nahin chupayi...main maanta hoon ki jo maine kiya woh galat tha...main to shayad aapse maafi bhi nahin maang sakta...lekin is waqt muje kitna guilty feel horaha hai woh main hi jaanta hoon...aur woh isliye kyunki maine aapko hurt kiya hai...anjaane me hi sahi par maine aapko takleef pohanchayi hai...main aapka gunahgaar hoon...aap muje jo saza dengi woh muje manzoor hai...

Kashish: agar aapko aapki galti ka itna hi pachtava hai to aap meri woh tasvire magazine ya holders tak nahi pohanchne denge ........

Sujal just looks at her...

Sujal: agar aapka yahin faisla hai to muje manzoor hai...

Angad: Sujal tu pagal hai kya?tumhe pata hai ki Mr Arora ne Kashish ki tasveeron ko approve kiya hai...agar humne ab woh tasveerain nahin di to hume nuksaan hosakta hai...

Sujal: Angad muje chahe jitna bhi nuksaan kyun na ho,muje manzoor hai...lekin Kashish ki marzi ke khilaaf jaake main unke photos nahin de sakta...tum Mr Arora se kehdo ke kal woh mujse urgently mille...main unhe Shikha ki photos dikhaunga...agar unhone approve kiya to thik hai warna woh apna contract cancel karsakte hain...yeh mera aakhri faisla hai

Kashish: thik hai .......jaisa aap ko thik lage kyunki aap to wahi karte hai jo aapko sahi lagta hai chahe aap kisi aur ki parwaah kare ya na kare........Right Mr.Garewal.....and by the way .......Thank you so much.........It was very plesent to work with you Mr.Garewall..........

Sujal: iska matlab aap wapas nahi aa rahi....ple Kashish........

Nandini: Kashish........Sujal itna keh raha hai to join kar lo na beta........

Kashish: Mom aapko pata hai jo jagah aur insaan ko main chod deti hoon use wapas dubara muh mod ke nahi dekhti........

Nandini: janti hoon lekin agar koi insaan itna keh raha ho to use maff kardena chahiye aur Sujal to yeh bhi keh raha hai ki sab kuch pehle sa ho jayega..........

Kripa: Kashish agar tumhe wapas SG ko join karna ho to yeh rahe papers sirf inpe sign kardo..........

Kashish: kabhi nahi............I will never sign this papers again........

Nandini: sign karo........tumne suna nahi Kashish.........

Kashish looks at Nandini and than Sujal in anger and than picks a pen from the table and signs the paper and throws the paper with pen on the table and ran to her bedroom upstairs......

Nandini: Sujal....tum jao woh kal se waqt pe office aa jayegi............

Sujal just watches her leave with teary eyes...

Sujal: aunty main maanta hoon ki Kashish ke SG wapis join karne pe muje khushi hai lekin shayad hume zabardasti nahin karni chahiye thi...main nahin chahta ki usse koi takleef ho...usne apne ateet me bohat kuch seh liya hai...ab main usse aur takleef nahin dena chahta..

Nandini: kabhi kabhi kuch pane ke liye zabardasti bhi karni padti hai..........aur humne jo kuch bhi kiya uski khushi ke liye kiya........ab tum jao dheere dheere sab kuch thik hone lagega .........lekin ple Kashish ki baat ka bura mat manna use gussa kuch jyada hi aata hai........

Sujal: burra ghairon ki baat pe maana jaata hai,lekin Kashish to mere apnon se bhi zyada apni hai mere liye...aur woh kaisi bhi kyun na ho,main tab bhi usse pyar karta hoon aur hamesha karta rahunga...aapka bohat bohat shukriya aunty...aapne mere liye bohat kuch kiya hai...ab hum chalte hain...please apna khayal rakhiyega...goodnight..

Nandini: Goodnight Sujal........aur aap sab bhi apna khayal rakhna.........aur ghar aate rehna.....

Kripa: ji aunty...bye...

Sujal takes Nandini's blessings and then all three of them leave...Nandini looks at the door and than to Swati.......

Nandini: Swati ab tu hi bata ki in dono ko ek kaise karoon me....ek purab hai to ek paschin........

Swati: don't worry mam...agar unki kismat main milna likha hoga to woh zaroor milenge...aap pareshan kyun hoti hain...sab theek hoga...Sujal sir Mam se bohat pyar karte hain aur unka pyar ek din un dono ko milayega....

Nandini: haa ab to upperwala hi kuch kar sakta hai......ab tu yaha khadi kyun ho ....Kashish ki coffee yaad nahi.......

Swati: oh haan...main abhi banati hoon isse pehle woh mujpe ghussa karen...

Swati leaves for the kitchen to make Kashish's coffee.. after 2 mins she comes out with coffee cup and hands it to Nandini because she was so afraid to take it to Kashish.......Nandini smiles at her and took the cup and walks toward her bedroom.......
