Next day:
In black Mercedes Car:
Moh: Radha...did u inform trishna about being at nisha's place...
Ra:Ha...I informed her...and ur daughter was so much excited that she didn't even asked where r we going to...she is so much happy to stay at her friends place...
M:hmm at this age they only want friends...nd their company...
Ra:yes I know but I don't like trishna's friends at all...I don't know why...but I think now a days true and trusted friendship is gone I think...they all are spoiling my daughter very much...when trishna was in school she was not like these people... I feel their impact disturbed my daughter.
M:Radha may be calendars change but the meaning & feel of friendship and love like things never change...I agree people are changed in this fast forward world...but the value of friendship and love is never can be changed...and there would be also people who respects and value things like these...
MK:Driver still how much time will it take to reach...
D:In half n hour we will be recheaing sir...
Mk: ok...
Mothihari:
M(tensed): baba...u r today continuosly..coughing and spitting blood...let's go to hospital at city baba...
Mal:it's ok madhu...but I don't know today I feel like ... I want to see mohan and Radha once...
Suddenly there was knock on their front door...madhu gets up by making Malik comfortable on bed and goes to main door to see who it is...
M:who is it...(by saying it...she looks them and stops in her tracks)
Ra(curiously): Madhu...?!
M(with bright smile nd happy tears): Radha maa...
Then madhu runs to her and bends to take blessings but Radha make her stand and hugs her tight...
Moh: madhu beta...did u recognise me...
M:Uncle ji hw cud u think that I would forget u people...
Moh: then common give me too a hug...
Mohan too hugs madhu...and suddenly by looking mohan... madhu cries and breakes down in his embrace...as from the time she known the truth of her father health she controlled herself to not cry in front of Malik but by looking mohan she feels they r her people and they can support her...then she breakes down and cries a lot...
Mk: Madhu beta...what happened..? Why r u crying...is Malik alright...
M(stammers): ba...ba...ba...baba...has cancer... And she tells everything about him...!
Mohan was utterly shocked...he didn't expect this wud be coming...Radha gasps...
Mk:Madhu wer is Malik...
Then madhu takes them to Malik's cot...
M:baba...
Mal:ha madhu...( then looks to his bedroom entrance door and he was in tears of joy...and he tries to get up...)
Mk(with tears):Malik don't get up...plz...
Mal: aah...Radha...how r u my sister...
Ra(with tears): I'm fine bhaiya...but tell me y didn't u inform us about ur health earlier...and y didn't u come to city and get checked up there...is ur sister became so much paraya...
Mal(smiles): no radha...nothing like that...I know u all r they for me...and even after me u r there for my madhu...
Mk:now don't talk anything...madhu beta come on pack all ur stuff and we r gng to city and joining Malik in gud hospital...
Mal:no I'm not coming anywhere...
Malik breathing gets heavy suddenly...and he spits blood too...he then tightly holds one of Mohan's hand and says...
Mal: Mohan before dieing I wanted to meet u...my wish has been granted by that lord...but now plz I want to know abt something we always kept telling and settled in childhood of madhu and rishu...after my passing away madhu will be alone...plz look after my madhu...and I know u anyway make only my madhu as ur daughter in law...as we discussed...earlier...promise me mohan...u will take care of madhu well...she is so innocent...(Malik breathing heavily)
Madhu was tensed and was crying verymuch for her father...Malik breath was getting heavy...nd he couldn't speak...Radha maa was holding madhu...to not breakdown...
Mk:Malik don't worry madhu is my responsibility..and yes she is my bahu... I promise u...but now...
Without even completing his sentence Malik takes his last breath...and dies in Mohan's hands...
From the eyes of Mohan a lone tear falls to his cheek...Madhu was in shocked...Radha holds madhu and she too cries...
Then after sometime there was gathering of whole village for malik death as malik is one of the gud person in village..everybody showed up...Maliks funeral is completed...
Madhu was still shocked and was trying to not shattered as she promised Malik about her being happy...and Radha and mohan were in big guilt...and village people after the last rights of malik are done who knows mohan and his past were accusing him...about not showing up even once and taking care of Malik who once given him shelter and food with affection.And saying that he is not a faithful friend...Now Mohan and Radha were ashamed very much and then suddenly looking at them Madhu realizes they are feeling very much guilty...and as from childhood she considered them as their parents only...she backfires the people by saying that's not their problem and Malik and Mohan are same to her and Mohan uncle wud be there for their family ever to help...and it is his buisness made him very busy u cant accuse to my family in that way and Malik wud never like this against Mohan...For atleast giving respect to Malik...they shud stop whatever they are saying against Mohan...
By Madhu's care and support for them even all the accusations were true they were really impressed and they decided the next morning Madhu wud be taken to Kundra mansion with them and she is now their own daughter...
Next morning even though Madhu was not ready to leave that place so soon...Radha explained her and convinced to come with them...as decided Madhu packs all the stuff and was ready with her favorite bappa murthy in hand which was given to her by her mom when she was kid...and then she meets everyone who is close to her and bids her bye to them as she is going away...and then at last she comes to Payal...
M:Payal...(she hugs her and cries)
P:madhu now don't cry yar...plz...I cant see you like this...
M:how can I not when im leaving my bestfriend behind and going away...
P:Oh..madhu I think after going there...u will forget me...becoz already ur bestie trishna and would be will be waiting for u and and about this Payal ur bestie u will be soon forgetting...and tell me one thing...u r gonna invite me to ur wedding right(teases madhu and laughs)
Madhu blushes and goes towards car...and after looking at her house for the last time she gets into the car...
In car...Madhu was glancing and observing everything which is going behind in her village sadly . Mohan and radha thinks to give her some space and keept quiet...after coming outskirts...madhu falls asleep...then she suddenly falls radha's side near her shoulder...then radha looks at her...and she lovingly takes madhu's head and puts on her shoulder...and thinks of Padmini and Malik...
Mohan was very much depressed and still was in grieve of Malik death...
In evening...They soon reached Kundra Mansion...,
Mohan and Radha with madhu by side gets out from the car...
Mk:Driver get the luggage inside...
Madhu was looking in awww...at the big bunglow...which she never came across in her life...and was astonished...she was in a daze...
Ra(by putting a hand around madhu's shoulder): Madhu come beta...lets go inside...
Then they 3 of them goes inside...madhu was gaping at the house and all the interior and furniture around...her jaw was dropped open...Radhaji seeing madhu..chuckles and says...
Ra(smiling): madhu beta...if u want to look around the house il take u for a visit around whole mansion tomorrow morning...don't worry...il show u everything...but now u r tired right... come il show ur room...
M(excitedly):Aunty where is trishu...I want to surprise her...
R(smiling): She is at movie with her friends ...she wil be coming late at night...
M:hawww(opens her mouth in shock) but it is already past 10pm...at this night she is still outside...how can she go out this time and how did u allowed and how she will be coming...it is not at all safe...in our mothihari girls never go out after 8:00pm...
R(smiles at her innocent words): Madhu this is city...whole night there will be lights and people roaming on streets casually as per there works...and this is common to go out at late nights here...and girls or boys they are allowed out but girls they have to be careful for themselves and here everybody has their own freedom...no one questions other
M(curiously with hesitant): aunty,...aah...wer is rishu...?
R: Rishu has gone for buisness trip to Delhi beta...he will come after 10days...
Then Radha opens her room door which is specially cleaned and kept ready by servents...as per instructed by MK when they were in village and took decision to take her with them...
Madhu looks at her room...with wide eyes...in aww..
R:madhu did u liked ur room beta...
M:what like... no I loved...this room is equal to our house in Village...
R(smiles): ok if u find any difficulty tell me beta...and one more thing call me maa not aunty I'm finding it difficult to hear...
Mohan comes from behind to check
on madhu...and then listening to convo he says..."and me Papa"
M(smiles with contentment): ok..and There will be no difficulty maa...if it is even there...then u both without even my saying will take care of it...
Mohan and Radha look each other for seconds and looks at madhu impressed and satisfied when madhu was looking into bathroom...
M(with shock): Maa I have never in my life thought I would have this big bedroom and this bathroom it is just like in bollywood movies...and she giggles...
Mohan and Radha smiles and says her to go to sleep and left to their bedroom.
After sometime when Mk and Radha were prepared to bed,...
Mohan was in deep thoughts...
And Radha looks to mohan and gets concern and calls him for getting her attention...
Ra:Mohan ji...Mohanji...
Mohan comes out from his thoughts and looks at Radha..
Mk:ha tell me Radha...what is it..?
Ra: I know Mohan ur Bestfriend Malik had passed away...and u r feeling miserable about not taking proper care for him...and also that village people words are ringing in ur ears...I know even I'm feeling like that but we must move on and think about what way we can make his soul rest in peace...And for that we have to take care of Madhu well and also do u remember what promise u had done to Malik bhaiya...
Mk: how can I even forget that...and what is ur opinion on that...
Ra:I don't have any objection in that...Madhu is a very nice girl...she is perfect for my arrogant son and this house...she can only be his wife...do u remember how she handled villagers when they were accusing us for not coming there and these many years not taking care of him...she was the one after all knowing everything like supporting her own people...like it is a duty of her to protect us...she had solved the matter in village...and she also loves Rishu very much...she and her village friend were talking about rishu and I have listened...she is very gud girl...now a days we can't get such type of girls anywhere...
Mk:Not only that she is also well mannered,simple and sweet girl...wen she was looking at her room the words what ever she said were full of trust,sincerity and love on us...whatever it may come Madhu is only my bahu...my ghar ki lakshmi...
Ra:but...do u think rishu will agree to this marriage...if he has different intrest...
Mk:I know about my son very well Radha...no need to tell me...yes may be rishu can have other intrest or other tastes...anything...but I know how to make my son agree to this proposal..(with smirk)...And if he doesn't like this also...he will eventually will be liking it...and I can only pay back Malik in this way...and he has to agree for this marriage at anycost...
Ra:Ok now let's take some rest...
In Madhu's room:
Madhu climbs on bed which is puffy,soft, and comfortable and she jumps into it and lies down and runs her hand on the smooth bed to experience the rich bed she slept...
M(thinking herself): wow...I never thought of sleeping in this type of bed...and the room omg...if payal sees she goes crazy...and bathroom...it is a heaven I can't come out of shower just want to experience it more and more..and this house sorry they are calling it as mansion...but no it is like a palace.(smiles)...if papa had also been there he wud have joked about all these things and wud have shared and made me laugh...(she smiles with tears)...
Then thinking about her parents she sleeps...
Next Morning:
Madhu gets up early..at 6:00am itself and she gets ready in her salwar kameez and plates her braid neatly...and she puts her anklets to her ankles which she removed when her father demise...and then she just puts a bindi and kajal and looks herself once in mirror and turns away and looks around the room...and she has nothing to do in that room...her daily routine is to dance early in the morning...but here she is thinking how can she dance...and suddenly she chuckles herself thinking...here her rishu is very near to her...may be he will be coming after 10days..but she is in his house no...her house she thinks...and she is feeling shy to dance...then she decides to dance as it refreshes her mind very much...then she comes out of room to look for radha maa and also thinks to surprise her trishu...
She comes downstaires..she sees around and not finding radha maa...she decides herself to find puja room...and looks around everything...which is new to her...Radha also comes out freshed up from her room...then she looks madhu who is fresh and pure early in the morning...and she goes near her...
Ra:Madhu beta...Y r u up very early...u can have some rest beta...R u feeling gud...
M:yes maa im gud...I wil get up daily at this time only..and how come it is early...
Ra(laughs):here in this house...no one wakes up this early...that's y im asking...
M:what..? But in village by now everyone wud be going to their works by now...u know right...
Ra(smiles):yes I do know...but u shud know many things about here...i will tell u...but I think u r searching for something...
M:ya for puja room...
Radha feels gud about her bahu having some traditional values...and she takes her to the mandhir room..and they both pray together...and then comes out...
M:Maa...where is trishu room...I want to give her surprise...
Ra:Beta..she is now sleeping...she wont wake up now...after her waking up u can go to her na...
M(with happy glint in her eyes):no maa...if I go and wake her she will feel happy and surprised...she will immediately wake up and hug me...
Ra:ok...but she is very lazy girl...I don't know whether she gets up or not...but try ur luck...her room is right side of ur room...
M:ok il go
Madhu then hurries to upstaires...she then after going up...as it a big mansion with many rooms and turns...she gets confused...
M(in herself):im going in correct way right...this is like a jantar mantar...i don't know wer im going to end up...(she then stops at a room on her left side) I think this is trish room...let me go in...if it is not...hmm let me see once...
Then she opens the door of a big master bedroom which is Rk's bedroom...and walks in slowly...
M(in herself): OMG...(she opens her mouth in O shape and looks around) Is this a bedroom or...
By saying that her eyes fall on the posters of Rk who r on the wall...he was like a model...Madhu was admiring him...
M(in herself):chi...y am I looking to someone...wait...is he rishu...
Then she again looks his eyes keenly in the posters...and a sweet smile started on her lips and she blushed and her cheeks turn into red..
she remebers her rishu eyes very well...as she daily looks at his photograph of childhood...
Then madhu looks everywhere of room and surroundings keenly and takes the photo frame which is on bed side table in her hands and looks to it...and then she speaks to photo frame...
M:Rishu im waiting for u so much...im missing u...wen I was away from u it was ok...but now being in ur room,in ur house and being u away from here is making me impatient...and I don't know y...im feeling nervous...
Maadhu couldn't even stand there in his room as even his photo frames are making her nervous and blush and cheeks are turning into tomato red...for once she observes surroundings to look if anyone is around and kiss the photo frame of Rk...
And she blushes and smiles herself and puts the frame there and runs from there...
Then she humming herself a song..dreamily...walks to trishna's room...
She then slowly opens her door and peeps into her room to confirm her or not...after seeing a girl on bed under covers she smiles cheekily and enters inside in slow steps and goes near her bed...
Then madhu puts her duppatta end in trishna's ear to disturb her...trishna at first moves other side...then madhu goes near her ear...and slowly calls her..."trishuu"...then she shouts "trishuuu"...
Trishna with a jerk gets up and shouts...
T:What the hell??
Madhu then backs off at her shout and then quickly composing herself...goes infront of trishna...
M(smiling with happiness):trishuu...
Trishna looks at madhu from top to bottom for atleast 3times...and makes a dissaproval face..and with irritating tone and face...
T(shouts):Who the hell r u...? And Y r u in my room...
M:its me trish...Madhu...
T:Madhu...which madhu...and how dare u enter my room without my permission...
Madhu was taken aback...
M(feels hurt): its me trish...Madhu...Madhubala...ur friend
Trishna once looks at her and remembers her with an unreadable emotion...and then getting into the poresent... laughs at madhu hysterically...and calls Radha...
R:what happned trishna...why r u shouting...(turns to madhu)Madhu wt happened...
M:maa...actually trishu...
But trishna cuts her off...
T:firstly...call me trishna...and Madhubala...we were friends then not now...
Trishna then turns to radha who is looking at her...
T:mom...why the bloody hell she is here...
Radha gets shock with her daughters words...and looks at madhu whose eyes are clearly showing pain in her eyes...
R:Trishna...she is Madhu beta...ur friend...u used to be around her always in childhood...She is now going to be here with us...r u not happy...
T:Happy...what is there to be happy in that...and why wil she live here...doesnt she have her house...and tell her to be in her limits without my permission no one enters my room...and she is not my friend...look at her once mom...
Madhu feels bad and silently goes away from there with lowering her head...
Radha(Furiously):Trishna...her father Malik had passed away just 2days back...and she is going to be with us...she already is in so much pain...and how rudely u behaved with her...I cant believe that u r my daughter...no u r not my trishna...u r the rich spoilt brat who is a friend of brats...who r gud for nothing...she has come to u with so much love and happiness to surprise u...she still believes that u r the same childhood trishna...sorry beta...il explain her that my daughter has changed...but u know what...she is the same childhood Madhu...
Then Radhaji turns to go...again stopping by the door way...she turns to Trishna and says...
R:Remember Trishna...the girl who r u saying not my friend...is only ur true friend...not ur rich in appearance and status friends...Friend in need is a Friend in deed...She would be the one when u need not them always...Mark my words...
Then she turns away and goes...Trishna gets irritated and rushes to get ready by cursing Madhu...how her mom is supporting her...leaving her own daughter...
Madhu in her room was sitting on her bed and without her knowing the tears were falling from her eyes...
M(in herself):Trish is behaving very newly...how come she can forget me...we were best friends then...but what happened to her now...and she even told me twice that im not her friend...i think she is not in good mood becoz I have disturbed her sleep...
After getting fresh...Trish comes to dining table to downstairs...to have her breakfast...And she pulls her chair and sits...
Mohan came to know everything from Radha about morning incident...
And they two were also on dining table sitting idle without breakfast...
MK(sternly):Trishna...I think u know there is new member in our family and she is also our family...she has no one and she will be with us from now...she still has not come to have her breakfast...go and say her sorry for whatever rubbish u said and hurted her then u can have ur breakfast along with her and us...
T:what...y shud I apoligise dad...i don't like her...so I told her...u cant force me like that...
MK:but ur words hurted her very much...and tell me one thing if madhu wud be in ur place and u in madhu's place...How wud u have felt trishna...show some humanity...she just lost her father recently...she is only happy becoz she is going to be with u...but u made her miserable...
Trishna for once feels strange emotions in her as she is not a type of cruel charecter from birth she cant her innerself is not at all accepting her behaviour towards madhu as right... ...she reminds herself the words she said madhu back then and thinks of it if she was in her place...what wud she have felt...and yes she wud be not calm as madhu...she would give back but she wud definitely been hurted...
She then quickly gets up and goes to Madhu's room hesistantly...and knocks on her door...
Madhu who was on bed still crying clears her face which is with tears with her duppatta...and opens the door...and looks trishna who was standing there...and smiles at her...
Trishna was looking her uncomfortably and hesistanly asks..."can I talk to u"
M:sure trish...come in...
T:Madhu...I know we were once upon a time friends...but that doesn't mean we r now...I don't know anything about u...and im also sorry for ur Pappa...and u can stay here with us as Pappa decided...but be urself and don't bother me...and come to breakfast...Pappa and mom are waiting for u... And they also ordered me if u eat along with us then only I can have mine ...and im running late...if u come fast I can have my breakfast and go to college...
Madhu was hurted by her words but she nods her head and comes down with her...as she doesn't want her to get late and curse her for making her late...
At downstairs on dining table all of them ate in silence and mohan to cheer madhu made some jokes on radha's breakfast...and trishna after her bf goes from there...
MK:Madhu we r sorry for whatever Trishna said...she is little immature...beta...
M:Don't Pappa...she is my friend...even she says im not her friend...i didn't take her words seriously...and she goes away from there...to her room...
In her room,Madhu thinks and tears flowed from her eyes...how trishna had changed...she is not that trishna...but she genuinly felt sorry for Maliks death...whatever she thinks...but she is my friend...She then looks to the side table where bappa murthy she kept and says..."Bappa cant trishna I be the friends like we were in childhood again...can it ever happens"...
