Still out in the patio/garden/where ever that bloody fountain is… Nakul Bhaiyya sheds tears in front of chota bhai Lakshiii Poo…
N: Till today, what I thought that there were no relations bigger than those of blood… But… The truth is, till today, the one who I used to call "Damini Chachi"… She isn't my Chachi… She's my mother….!
Lakshya's pretty peepers widen in shock… *Nimmi has smelling salts ready, in case he keels over….*
N: This is the truth… That the blood that runs through Mayank's viens… The same blood runs through my veins too…
Lakshya makes some unintelligible sound that sounds like a cross between a "Huh??" and a painful grunt… Ouch!
N: The one who committed this crime unknowingly, is my brother… I was helpless, I needed to support him…
L: But no truth is so big, that it makes you forget the reality… The reality is that we may not be brothers by blood, but we are brothers by our heart…. We saw dreams together… We tried to achieve them together… This truth you told me, trust me, makes no difference to me… It doesn't hold any importance to me…. You are still my brother, and you always will be.. I know a bigger truth… And that is… Relations of the heart are much bigger and stronger than the those of the blood…
N: Lakshya… By age, I am the elder one, but your thoughts are so much bigger than mine… If you can, please forgive me…
L: How can I forgive you? You haven't wronged me, bhaiyaa… You've wronged yourself.. The only one you've wronged is yourself…
Lakshya leaves with a stern/distressed look on his face as Nakul watches him sadly, tears rolling down his cheeks…
Awww…. Please don't cry… I hate it when hot guys cry…
************************************************************ ***************************************************
Karan is standing in his room in thought… Tanya comes there….
Ta: What are thinking? Why are you standing with your head bowed? Maybe coz the principles your mother has given you is crushing you under their weight…. You're thinking about that woman who you trusted all your life, thanks to whom you didn't trust your own blood… Your son… You didn't trust him even a little bit? I don't understand if I should be happy today or sad… I'm happy that my son has been proved innocent, but I am sad that his relationship with his father has crumbled… Karan, the stain on Manthan has been removed, but what about the wound in his heart, given to him by his own father's distrust? How you fill this wound of his now??? Yyou remember… You told me, if Manthan was guilty, before anyone, you would punish him first… What will you do now? Will you punish Tulsi Maa?
Karan remains silent… Arre yaar.. Kuch toh bolo!
Ta: I knew it.. You have no answers to any of my questions.. You always follow Tulsi Maa's decisions… Not your own… And why would you go against your mother? After all, she is God… You worship her… She's a "devi" to you! Remember this, Karan… By fulfilling some false relations, your true relations are slipping away from you… Today, people may say with pride that Karan Virani is the best son in the world…. But, as a father… You have been one of the most unsuccessful human beings…
Tanya leaves… Karan still looking on, unblinking, emotionless… Umm… Is he dead?

Damini is sitting a room, in tears…. There's a knock on the door… It's Ganga, looking concerned…
D: Ganga…
G: Don't say anything… I understand… I wish what happened, had never happened… But what to do? Many times nothing is in our hands…
D: No Ganga… Whatever Mayank did was not in my hands… But what I did to you… I could have prevented it from happening… To keep my child with me, I snatched your son away from you…
G: I didn't support you, I have supported a mother…. Let me tell you something.. Whatever happens… I will always be with you…
D: Please forgive me….!
Ganga hugs and comforts Damini, who cries profusely….
I swear to God… Ganga is too good to be in this drama… Honestly…
************************************************************ ***************************************************
Tripti, Gayathi Chachi and Daksha (The Trimurtiiii!!!!!!!!!! Hee hee) are sitting together… Hmmm… Is this like a weekly b**ch-fest thing???
Tr: I don't understand what has gotten into Nakul! Why was he supporting Damini of all people?!
D: Now that the truth has come out, what will Tulsi do… She always does this according to her own will… Sometimes as Mother India ki Nargis and sometimes as Reema Lagoo… She tried to put two children in jail… Now what will she do to Mayank?
GC: I think she'll be quiet for a few days now.. Didn't you see…? How she was all quiet when the truth came out?
D: Tulsi is just like Rajesh Khanna…. DUSHMAN!!!!! I think she had a mighty good time in jail, that's why one by one, she wants all the family members to go there and share the experience… Ararara! Will she send me too?!!?
GC: How can you talk like this at a time like this???
D: I'm telling you the truth… Tulsi is the "dushman" of this house… I don't know how her planets are so "Balwaan" just like Sunil Shetty… No one can do anything to her…! I am her mother in law, I should have the right to talk against her… But then "Hum bolenge toh bolega ki bolta hai…" I'm telling you, someone needs to raise a voice against her, or her daily soap will never end…!
Tr: But who?
Aaaah… The eternal question… WHO will bell the cat?!
************************************************************ ***************************************************
*SCENE OF THE DAY - 1*
Tulsi is sitting in her room… In her head, voices of Eklavya and Manthan echo, screaming that they are innocent…. She is disturbed and distressed…
She gets up and walks around the room and sits down…. Karan walks towards her, his steps echoing all hindi film villan ishtyle…
T: Came? Sit…
Karan sits next to her, thoughtfully…
T: I've wanted to talk to you…
K: First… I have to say something..
T: Yes… Tell me…
K: Maa… Till today I have agreed to everything you've said… I have always followed your path… I have always agreed with every decision of yours… Haven't I?
T: Yes… I know, whatever I have said, you have done… You have always trusted me… Why???
Karan gets up….
K: Then why did you let that trust break today, Maa?
Tulsi looks shocked…
K: What you said was the truth… I believed… What you told was a lie, I believed… I've never questioned you.. Then why today… Why has a question risen against you in my mind? Why did you do this to Manthan…? Why?
T: I agree I made a mistake, Karan… I didn't do it purposely… Whatever I did, it was to punish the criminal…
Karan turns to Tulsi…
K: Maa… 100 good decisions do not outrank one bad decision… 1 bad deed crushes a 100 good deeds under it's weight…. Your thoughts were right… Your motive was right… But… Your mistake is that, without knowing the truth, without thinking, you make decisions… All you decisions break so many relations…. Every time, the decision you take for the betterment of this house ends up breaking the relations of this house… Still I remained with you… But today this decision, has takes all my relations away from me…
T: Karan, you know… Till today, all I have done… I do it for the truth…!
K: And every time, you've made a mistake… Is your truth bigger than your relations? Why do you always oversee your relations when it comes to the truth… If it is like that, the truth is that, you didn't give birth to me… Why do we have a relation?
T: Karan… Whaa…. (tears flow down her cheeks)
K: Maa… What we have lost now, these tears cannot give back…. Why are you losing them> Today, we've lost Eklavya to Ansh…. We've lost Manthan…. Because of your one bad decision… And today… You have lost me….
Tulsi is shocked… Screen turns black and white and black and white and black and white and black and… Ummm….
K: I'm regretting that I trusted your trust…. I am regretting that that I was with you at every step… I regret that without thinking, I agreed to everything you decided…
Karan starts to leave, leaving a disconsolate Tulsi…. He stops…
K: It's not just your fault… It's mine tooo… That I always trusted you… I thought you were God… I forgot that you were just a human being… A human being who makes mistakes…
Karan leaves…. Tulsi stares after him heart broken….
************************************************************ ***************************************************
*SCENE OF THE DAY - 2*
Karan is walking out from Tulsi's room…. Suddenly there is a call "Chachu!!!"
It's Eklavya…
E: Chachu, I… I don't remember much of my childhood… Not even my mother's face…
Simpleeee! Watch KZK! See that woman who killed the guy who looks EXACTLY LIKE YOUR MIHIR DADU???? Yep… You mom looked just like her! Co-incidence? I think not! 😉
E: I've gotten so much love from SN… That I never had the need to remember it… Damini Maa gave me so much love that I soon forgot my real mother…. I have seen my father's photo… I've heard about him…. But till today Gautam chachu didn't lemme feel like I was an orphan…
Ummm…. If it's Damini "MAA", why is it Gautam "CHAACHU" ???
E: Chachu, I want to ask you… Life has taken a lot from me.. The biggest thing being my parents… But I don't regret it… This family, you and Gautam Chachu have given me so much love… That I forgot everything.. I only regret one thing… That people still think that I am like my father…. Just one complaint… Why did whatever that happened to my dad, happen to me too??? I always was Eklavya, I still am and I always will be… Daadi doesn't trust me… So what??? Istill wont change… Just like Manthan wasn't the culprit, despite being accused, the same with me… I have no complaints…
K: You should have a complaint… Against me… I misunderstood you… I was the one who was wrong…
Karan leaves… Eklavya does that psycho thing where he tucks the hair behind his ears and smirks…
E: You are wrong about me, NOW!
Smirk smirk smirk smirk smirk…. *sigh*
************************************************************ ***************************************************
Comments: You must have noticed that I didn't pepper the update with TOO many comments, as usual… I just didn't want to spoil the emotional episode…
Tanya's words – completely true… Karan may have been one of the best sons in the world, but as a father, especially to Manthan… Sad, but true…
I loved the Karan – Tulsi scene… It was so poignant and touching… A completely broken Karan… He didn't accuse and yell at her… He just sadly, heart brokenly said the complete truth that he had taken too long to realise… Amazing scene…
Eklavya… Wow… I really thought he had changed…. Until that evil smirk was plastered back on his face. Have to hand it to him… He's one great actor…! Clap clap to him!
Ps – Everyone in the house is buzzing about the rape…. But where's the victim? Did everyone forget her!?!?
Star of the day: Hiten Tejwani. Hiten Tejwani. Hiten Tejwani.
Overall Rating: 8/10
