Chap 2
Ganga is in her office, she is waiting for Nakul and Saahil to come to the meeting. She meets Sanjhi on the way to the conference room..ab aage..
G: Arey Sanjhi, kaisi ho tum? Kafi dinoin se dikhi nehi?
S: Wo mam, mein kuch kaam mein busy ho gayi thi, isliye. Ap meeting mein a rahi ho na.
From the corner of the office, Nakul enters and sees both S & G talking. He walks upto Ganga..
N: Meeting ke sare papers ready hai..Ma..Mam..(he corrects himself)
Ganga momentarily has a gleam of happiness in her eyes and then it vanishes as he finishes his sentence sternly with "Mam".
G: Tum mujhe office mein Ma kah sakte ho Nakul..
S: Nakul, mujhse naraz ho, Apni Ma par kyon jata rahe ho use? Kuch kahna hai to mujhse kaho na..
N: Hain Sanjhi, tumse hi kahunga. Door raho meri zindagi se, usse judi hui, kisi bhi shaksh se aur khas kar mujhse. Mere tumhara koi rishta nehi hai…aur na hi kabhi hoga!
S: Nakul…
G: Nakul, tum itni kadwi baatein kyon kar rahe ho beta? Aisa kya ho gaya?
N: Kaash apko malum hota ki apke bete ki zindagi mein kya hota hai aur kya nehi…ap ne bhi sirf jatay ki ap meri Ma hai, par kabhi bann nehi payi, oh, let me correct, ap to meri Ma hai hi nehi!!
And with that he storms out of the place, towards the conf room.
Ganga has tears in her eyes, Sanjhi notices this. She is also very upset. Sanjhi takes ganga to her cabin..
S: Mam..I am sorry, meri wajah se apko itna kuch sunna pada..
G: Nehi Sanjhi, nakul ne sach hi to kaha..meine hamesha jatay ki mein uski Ma huin, par shayad, mujhe bahut kuch karna chahiye tha..Bachpan se use kabhi ek acche pariwar ka pyar nehi mila..aur jab pata chala ki uska asli pariwar kaun hai, tab bahut der ho chuki thi…use kabhi pyar kaise karte hai, yeh to pata hi nehi chala..
(She looks up at Sanjhi..) Beta, mein tumhein apni beti manti huin..mujhse wada karo..
S: Mam..
G: Mujhse wada karo Sanjhi, ki, tum meri madad karogi, Nakul ko fir se, accha banana mein.
S: Yeh bhi koi poochne ki baat hai…mein apke saath huin..
Sanjhi then leaves the room..
Ganga, picks up nakul's photo and talks to it..
G: Mujhse sab ne mil kar dhokha diya Nakul, Pahle tere pitaji ne, fir garwaloin ne, aur ab meri kismet ne…tujhe pa kar bhi meine tujhe kho diya.. tu mera tha nehi, par meine kabhi yeh mahsoos nehi hone diya tujhe..fir aaj yeh kadwapan kyon.
Saahil walks in..Ganga wipes her tears and puts the picture back..
G: Saahil tum..
S: wo meeting mein sab tumhara intezaar kar rahe hain..
G: mein bhi bees saal se tumhara kar rahi huin…
S: Kya?
G: amm..wo kuch nehi…chalo
S: fir se bolo na Ganga, tumne kya kaha..
G: Saahil..tum mere manager ho..so, you do what you are said to..meeting ke liye late ho rahein hain..ab chalein.!
Saahil feels hurt and happy at the same time…gives ganga a smile,while Ganga turns her face away and leaves the room..
Ganga talks to herself:
G: Mujhe apne aap ko sambhalna ho ga…meine Saahil aur tripti ke beech nehi aa sakti..
And she leaves for the meeting..
In the conference room:
G: Good morning gentlemen..i am sorry, mujhe kuch kaam mein waqt lag gaya..
Client: koi nehi Madam..apke company ke saath kaam karne mein hama rahi fayeda hai..
G: Let me introduce you to my team.
Nakul – Is project ko lead kar raha hai.
Sanhi – She is taking care of all the PR issues
And Saahil – My, I mean, he is my financial manager, who is business ke sare financial issues sambhalte hain..
Clients: Hum ne apke bare mein bahut kuch suna hai Ms.Ganga. We are ready to do business with you. Apki kabiliyat par aur apke team par hamein pura bharosa hai.
G: Thank you , par ap log ek baar presentation to dekh lijiye..Sanjhi…
Nakul interrupts before that..
N: Gentlemen, yeh rahe sare documents ke copies, jo apko zaroorat padegi..here are all the proposal details.
He hands over the documents to the clients, who go through them, a hurt Sanjhi looks at Nakul and Nakul returns it with a smug glare of triump!
G: Ap log please continue ki jiye, mujhe ek aur meeting mein jana hai..it was a pleasure meeting you.
She bids them goodbye and leaves, Saahil leaves too..
S: Ganga…suno
G: peeche se tokne ki adapt nehi gayi tumhari abhi tak..
S: kya karuin Ganga, koi tokne ke liye mila hi nahi..
G: kuch kaam tha kya?
S: Hain, meine hamare lonavala project ke liye, ek plot dekha hai, tum kaho to hum chal kar dekh sakte hai..
G: mujhe kaafi kaam hai Saahil, tum chale jao
S: Mere khatir?
G: I don't mix business with my personal life Mr.Saahil Virani!
Saahil looks down hurt and leaves..
Gange thinks to herself..and does not see Lakshya standing by the door..
G: I am sorry Saahil, tum nehi jante, mein kitna jana chati thi tum hare saath..par halat se majboor huin mein..
And she stands there looking at Saahil's vanishing silhouette..
Lakshya had been listening to their conversation, and understood what was in her mind..and he pledges to bring them closer...
At the same time, SN mein, Tripti looks into some documents in Saahil's cupboard, and smiles to herself. She thinks, ab mujhe koi nehi rok sakta…what she does not notice is the small piece of paper that falls to the ground…
