Episode 98
Mad Man
It has been three hours and he is so silent she just can't take it anymore! His intense stare on the road, his bruised and bleeding hand on the steering wheel, you just know he is reliving the incident that just occurred over and over again in his mind. The goon deserved the wrath of this mad man. How dare he hurt her? And the mad man thinks how come her touch calms me. Calms my storm inside? One touch from her that is all it takes, to calm this mad man down. The goon was lucky; he would surely have killed him.
His thoughts are interrupted by her idle chatter. She is nervous. She asks for forgiveness; it is all her fault. She should not have worn this wedding dress; everything has been misunderstood.
Payal is on the phone with Anjali asking about the whereabouts of Kushi. Anjali says they are on their way home. Everything is going to be alright. Akash is standing beside Anjali giving his moral support as well, he is concerned for his Payal and her family. He tries to call Arnav whose phone is unreachable. He tells Di that he will go check on them but Mami overhears and wants to know why he has to check on them. He doesn't need to go see Payal. She tells him just to be quiet and be at home.
How can someone be excited at the words "shut up"? Kushi is. She says atleast he has said something; it has been three long, quiet hours from him. She talks to him about the goons; his hand grasps the wheel of the car hard, as she con tinues to babble. She asks him, "you hit him black and blue just for pushing me what would you do if he actually hit me?" ENOUGH! He had enough. She doesn't have to remind him how he lost control. He doesn't need to face his reality. His truth revealed as he became a mad man over one Kushi Kumari Gupta being manhandled. "Get out. GET. OUT." Why she asks? How will she get home? He hands her money he doesn't care just get out of the car, dammit.
He can't take it anymore. He is a Mad Man!
At the hospital everyone is falling to pieces and there in the middle is Shyam. He is praying for Babuji's death otherwise it may be his ruination. He is totally despicable here. (Arshi and I have had many conversations about Shyam being a Mad Man even back then and we are just noticing it the second time around. His clues of lunacy were always there we just didn't pay much attention back then.)
Akash comes to the hospital and sees Payal crying as she passes him. Shyam sees Akash. Lucky break for the Mad Man so he won't be caught.
Kushi goes home and Happy is waiting for her with the key ands he tells her about her father. She runs in to change while back at the hospital Payal's Prince Charming awaits her. He tells her he came to know about her father and she thanks him and sends him away apologizing. Poor Akash.
Back at the RM an angry Mad Man walks in not listening to a word his servant is trying to tell him. He goes to his room again questioning his behavior. He was angry with her so then why did he react that way?
At the hospital Shyam seems worried that Babuji may survive. Kushi comes and embraces Payal. All the Gupta women gather around Kushi and Shyam is observing. The doctor comes out of the room and tells Shyam Babuji is under observation and is on oxygen. Garima ask Kushi where she has been. Kushi wants to know what happened she spoke with him yesterday and he was fine. The nurse leaves the room and Shyam enters. The Mad Man has an idea as he looks at the oxygen. He closes the valve and Sashi has dyspnea. Just in the nick of time Kushi and her family enter the room. The doctor says he can now breathe on his own, for the sake of drama but in real life that wouldn't happen, oxygen would stay on if a patient was dyspneac. Shyam says he will leave since there are too many people in the ICU and you never know Babuji may be able to spill the beans. Buaji tells him he is her god now since he saved Sashi's life. Oh Nand Kishore, if she only knew what a Mad Man he is! Sashi tries to motion towards Shyam and tell them but Shyam insists he should not be stressed. Kushi says he wants to says something. "Sh, Sh" he mumbles pointing at Shyam and Kushi asks "Shyamji?"
The Mad Man is worried.
