That night Arohi again gets milk for Arjun and still in angry mood.

Arohi: Raj, get your dad to drink this milk. Yesterday he made such a fuss, I will come

Raj: OK mom

After sometime Romit comes.

Romit: How are you now bhaiya?

Arjun: Fine yaar, come sit and he sits on bed with Arjun and Raj

All three watching football match

Arohi comes after sometime

Arohi: Raj, you did not give milk to your dad

Raj: I gave, he did not drink

Arohi: Raj, ask your dad why he did not drink milk

Raj: Dad, answer mom

Arjun: Raj, tell your mom, i am not kid ? do not force me to drink milk. I will drink it at my leisure

Raj: Did you get answer mom

Arohi: Tell your dad, i am also not interested in force feeding him like kids. His dadi told that's why i am saying

Romit starts laughing and Arohi stares so he keeps quiet

Raj: Dad

Arjun: Raj, tell your mom she is concerned about me only because Dadi told her she need not be

Raj: OK, mom this is not right

Arohi: Raj, tell that monster i am not bothered about him but about his health

Raj: Dad-who is monster? Romit bhaiya is mom talking about you. Your hairs are anyway scary like monster only

Arjun starts laughing, Romit feeling embrassed and starts fist fight with Raj saying

Romit: You wait, i will show you who is monster

Raj getting scared and starts acting as if crying "Daddyyy"

Romit: Dad ke bacchee, today no one can save you

Arjun intervenes to stop their fight and Arohi smiling.

Arjun: You both stop your kid fight now only

Romit: But bhaiya, see he is calling me monster

Arjun: How many times i told you cut your hair, its because of that only.

Romit makes crying face: Bhaiya, you also

Arjun: Ok ok sorry, Raj say sorry to Romit bhaiya

Raj: Sorry bhaiya

Arjun: Now keep quiet both of you or i will banish both of you out of this room now only

Raj: Dad-you did not say who is monster?

Arjun: Ask your mother

Raj: Mom-who is monster?

Arohi: Monster- you do not know monster. That man hugging and sitting you is monster

Raj: Dad, you are monster(looking at Arjun face)

Arjun: All wives consider husband as monster only Raj

Raj: Really dad, i will aks Roll no 12 about what she considers me tommorow

Romit: She is your GF Raj, GF will never consider BFs as monster.

Arohi: Wrong Raj, some wives think their husbands are mad also

Arjun: And some consider their husband both- like your mom here

Raj: Mom, you call my dad anything not mad (giving angry looks)

Romit: Really bhabhi, this is not fair, you are calling my Bro mad. This is not fair

Arohi: Accha, Bada aya dad ka beta or Bro ka laadla bhai. Keep dad and your Bro for yourself. I am watching TV

Arohi: I love Tom and Jerry, put that no. What is this football?

Romit: I am going if you are watching Tom and Jerry

Raj: Me too, wait Romit bhaiya. I will sleep with you today

Romit: OK, come Raj

Arohi: what happened, you both do not like Tom and Jerry? I thought you both loved it

Raj: Yes, but not anymore

Romit: When we are watching live Tom and Jerry show in our house who wants to watch cartoon series. Right Raj

Both doing hi-fi

Raj: Right bhaiya

Arohi: How dare you both and getting up to hit them

Arjun Laughing: Hold it, don't you dare hit my kid bro and son.

Romit and Raj: Yes, don't dare hit us

Arohi still runs to catch them but Arjun comes in between and holds her hand

Arjun: I will stop her, you both better run from here.

Raj: Yes dad and looks at Arohi

Romit: Yes Bro and looks at Arohi

Arohi: You, you both get into my hands later on. I will show you

Raj and Romit laughing: OK, Good night and go from there

Arjun pulls her near him: What will you do?

Arohi: I will show them who is monster

Arjun: Really, but before you touch them both you must show me. No one can hurt/hit them without passing me

Arohi gets confused and starts thinking how to free herself

Arjun: Show me Arohi, how does a monster look

Arohi: I will show, close your eyes

Arjun closes his eyes

Arohi bites his hand hard and he lets a yell and lets go off her hand

Arohi: Now you saw right, how a monster is?

Arjun: You are human or an animal? Still rubbing the wound

Arohi: Animal, you monster and runs out from the bedroom

CG: Thanks Sir for saving my life

Arjun: You are welcome. How are you now

CG: Fine Sir

Arjun: Take rest and my name is Arjun. You can call me Arjun

CG: Thanks very much Arjun Sir, If not for you i would have lost my life

CG mother: Beta, i am ever grateful to you for saving my son life

Arjun: You are welcome aunty. It was my duty to help another person in trouble

CG mother: Thats your greatness beta. God give you all happiness.

Arjun: I have an request

CG: Just order Sir, do not request

Arjun hesitates and says: Forgive those other GMs and GL for attacking you. I know what they did is wrong but this spiral of voilence and revenge will go on continuing. Just end it here

GL and GM come there to hospital and listen to Arjun request. GL and GM enter hospital room

GL comes and holds Arjun hand and starts crying..

GL: Sir, you are such a great person. Forgive us for hitting and injuring you. We came to know from police you released us on bail and now you are requesting on our behalf to CG to withdraw case

Arjun: You are welcome, Please leave all this route of voilence. You are lucky to have parents. All of you can get together and open small business and run it instead of all this voilence path you have chosen. If you want any help you can tell me.

GL: thanks so much Sir. We promise to leave this bad path Sir.

CG: I also promise to leave this path

Arjun: Thanks, thanks so much. I am getting late for work. In case you want any help you can approach Billu or me.

Arjun leaves from hospital.

After 2-3 days GL parents come to meet Arjun and catch his car outside office. Security is about to shove them but Arjun stops and enquires who they are. Arjun takes them inside his office and makes them sit.

Arjun: Tell me uncle-aunty what can i do for you?

GL Dad: What more can you do beta. How can we both and many parents like us thank you? You have brought our wayward children to correct path

Arjun:I have not done anything uncle. Your children themselves are good. They had just gone on bad path because of bad luck.

GL Mom: But beta, they would havecommitted murder had you not stopped them. Their life would have been destroyed. You saved them at nick of time without thinking for your life. You are like GOD sent angel in our life

Arjun: Aunty, you are embrassing me. I did not do anything different from what others in same situation would have done.

GL Mom: Our son told everything. Thousands of people were standing and watching including police. No one acted because they did not care for our children future and were afraid of their life. But you risked your life for our children's life and future

The coffee and buscuits that Arjun ordered arrive and he gives them to GL parents. They eat and get ready to leave.

GL Mom comes to him and holds his hand and gives her blessing and says "Your parents are so lucky to have a great son like you. They must be great souls to have given birth to a good son like you"

Arjun gets upset listening to this as he does not know who his real parents are.

RPS comes in to call Arjun to go for a meeting.

RPS: Arjun, are you ready

Arjun: Yes, dad give me 2 minutes

GL Dad: Sir, you are Arjun's dad

RPS: Yes

GL Dad: Thank you very much Sir

RPS: why? I do not remember meeting you leave alone doing something for you

GL Dad: Your son helped our children. You are so lucky to have a good son like that. You must have done very good deeds in last life to get such a fantastic son. Otherwise you know children of this generation-how spoilt and individualistic they are. Their happiness comes first and they are least bothered about family, parents, siblings and friends as long as they are satisfied. Your son thinks of others first including strangers.

RPS surprised but happy at getting praised for being Arjun's dad.

RPS: Thanks (thinking: Yes, i am really lucky to have Arjun as my son)

RPS: Arjun, i will wait for you outside in lobby

GL Mom and dad: No, sir we are leaving. You can take Arjun beta for the work along with you

GL Mom and Dad: Ok Arjun beta, thanks so much.

GL mom suddenly remembers something and takes a sacred thread she got for Arjun from temple and goes and gives it to him and says "This is scared thread from temple. I got it so that you are saved from all harm Arjun beta. I know GOD can do no harm to a good person like you. God bless you"

Arjun: Thanks aunty, You can tie it yourself and extends his hand

GL Mom ties sacred thread and GL parents leave.

RPS: What is all this Arjun? What did you do for their children?

Arjun comes out of his thoughts

Arjun: Nothing Dad, just a small help and they are exaggerating it. Let's go for the meeting

RPS: Avoiding telling me haan

Arjun: Nothing like that dad, have i ever hidden anything from you in life

RPS thinking: Yes, Raj's background

Arjun: Dad, What are you thinking?

RPS: Nothing, lets go

RPS: Hey Arjun, what happened? You are so happy today

Arjun: Happy, me dad. Nothing like that

RPS: Now now do not hide from me. I was seeing you in meeting also. You were not there mentally. What happened? I have never seen you so happy in ages.

Arjun: Nothing dad. I am also not sure why i am feeling so happy today

RPS: Really? You do not want to tell me its ok. I am going.

Arjun: Dad...Dad...Nothing like that dad...wait...listen dad please(gives confused look)

RPS comes back: I am listening (sits on sofa with Arjun)

RPS: Let me think and then starts smiling

Arjun: What is it dad?

RPS: That sacred thread that the old woman gave...that's why you are so happy

Arjun: What? This thread (looks at thread)

RPS: Yes, that thread. You know when i was small i was happiest when mom would go to temple and get me sacred thread and tie it around my hand for my safety. I see that happiness in your face today. Its definetly that sacred thread.

Arjun: Really, is it this thread?

Arjun looks questioningly at RPS and RPS nods his head trying to convince Arjun that what he said was correct.

Arjun: But dad, i thought you did not believe in GOD much

RPS: As a kid everyone believes in GOD

Arjun: You too

RPS: Yes, i too belived in GOD

Arjun: Then why not now?

RPS: You are questioning me like you are my dad now (trying to avoid topic and goes into upset mode)

Arjun: Daddd...you have missed your dad a lot no all life (looking at his upset)

RPS: Yes...maybe...People say kids cannot live without mothers but in a patriachial society like ours fathers are much more important...i realized that because of some incidents in my life.

Arjun: Means dad...what incidents?

RPS: Means...You will not understand.you are still small to understand (thinking the harsh realities of this so called civilized world)

RPS goes into thoughts and Arjun feels guilty for making his father upset.

RPS secretary calls him and he leaves leaving Arjun to ponder on what dad said.
