RECAP:
Scene 1: Everyone dancing to Kabhie Khushi Kabhi Gham. Aditya is
unhappy. Abha is there. Family photo moment.
Scene 2 : Vrinda is looking around in the party and a pair of hands grabs
her right ankle. Its Vikram, holding the payal in his hands. He clasps it
around Vrinda's ankle. She is wearing a turquoise kurta churidar and he
is wearing off white sherwani with turquoise stoll. Matching??
Scene 3 : Banu Pratab telling his upset wife after getting off his mobile
with Jiji, Oh my dutiful wife don't you feel shameful hidingly listening to
your husband's conversation?
Scene 4 : Vikram (in full sherwani outfit) is draining the petrol from two
bikes whilst the owners are drinking tea at a stall. Vrinda comes out of
the house on the phone with Vikram asking him where he is. Vikram tells
her to turn around. She turns around and sees him.
Today's episode:
Vikram has clasped his hands around Vrinda's face and looks at her
lovingly,
Vrinda: I ..love…you
She smiles.
They stare into each others eyes and he is about to hug her when she
holds back his arm. He stops and looks back at her. She is smiling. She
turns her face and a perplexed expression washes over.
Its Shankar pushing his bike into the compound.
She quickly pushes Shankar behind some plants and she goes towards
Shankar.
Vrinda: Shankar, what happened to the bike?
Shankar: Why aren't you asleep? Its so late at night, what are you doing
outside the house?
Vrinda: I was… was
Shankar: I was what..?
Vrinda: No Shankar, I wasn't sleepy and I heard some noises at the ghat
gate so I went to tell the guards.
Shankar: Ok, come lets go in now and go to bed.
She follows behind him but as she passes the side where Vikram is
hiding, he pulls her towards him. She pulls back whispering to him to go
away from there. Shankar turns around. Vrinda is standing still breathless
at the bottom of the stairs.
Shankar: What has happened now? You heard noises?
She shakes her head in the negative saying she didn't hear any noise.
She goes inot the house. She sees Vikram slithering away. Shankar
suspects something but shuts the door anyway.
Maya is waiting at the dining table with the food. The lights come on.
Vikram has come home.
Maya asks him to tell her how long more she has to cook his fave food
and wait nights for him to return home to eat.
Vikram: Mother, to remove this worry of yours, I had to galavant around
the whole night to bring a bahu.
Maya: What bahu, bahu. I am tired of hearing about this. You don't tell
me her name, her background etc.
Vikram: Its all her fault. She asks me how much jewellery my mother will
give? Then she will tell her name.
Maya: Oh, from now you are trying to start our fight. (saas-bahu) She hits
him playfully on his shoulder.
Vikram: Mother , only then will I be able to rule over the two of you. If the
two of you combine your forces, that that's the end of me.
Maya smiles lovingly.
Maya: Listen, don't make your mother restless.
Vikram: Once I am back from training I will make you two meet.
Maya: Really
Vikram: I promise.
Maya: You be happy. I don't want anything else.
Kasinath pandey is sleeping on a chair. He hears a door knock. The door
opens.
A man is there who says "In your court, injustice doesn't happen. Then
why did it happen with my daughter? Dehdahji, give an answer" kashinath
gets up and walks towards the door asking who is there?
Sharada passes by from outside the room. She sees him looking at the
door.
Sharada: Pandeyji (whilst removing her earrings) Who are you talking to?
Kashinath is confused. It seemed to me as if someone was at the door
and he was calling me. Truly, he was calling me.
Sharada: The door is closed Pandeyji, no one is there.
Kashinath turns around and walks towards Sharada.
Kashinath: It was a familiar voice begging me for justice.
Sharada: This stems from your soul Pandeyji. Who even in his dreams
cannot tolerate to see injustice done.
Kashinath: Tomorrow is our son's wedding. The most happiest day of our
lives. Then why am I feeling like this.?
Sharada: Because you wish that like your family, every family in Benaras to
be happy. Your happiness is not just limited to your family, it is bound
with Benaras.
Kashinath: I know Sharada, for the past few days, my adarsh has become
a wall between us,
Sharada: Blessed is that wife who's inner emotions are important to her
husband. Your adarsh up to today on this family has not stood like a wall
Pandeyji instead your adarsh is like the stream of water which wets the
'man'. Let's go its late night, go to bed.
Next morning. Abha is asleep on the bed. Her father comes to wake her
up, telling her the time to leave is approaching.
He sits next to her on her bed.
Jagat: If today your mother was here
Abha: Father
She wipes the tears off her father's cheek. She hugs him.
Sanya is removing the mehndi from her hands. They are of a deep colour.
She smiles. She calls Aditya.
Sanya: Mehndi in your name has stained very dark. Now I cannot wait any
longer. Call me quick. Bye. (I think she leaves this message on his
voicemail)
On the other hand,
Abha is showing her hands to her father, Her mehndi has only a light
stain.
Abha: see father, The mehndi in Aditya's name didn't bring the colour.
Jagat: Beta, maybe the colour takes time to darken, deepen.
The servant comes in to inform them that some women have come to get
the bride ready.
Jagat: Make them sit downstairs, Abha will be reaching soon.
Jagat looks at his daughters hands. Puts his hands over them and tells her
Jagat: The colour of relationships is darker and deeper than the colour of
mehndi. Don't doubt them in impatience.
He leaves and Abha is very sad.
Kashinath is sitting lost in thoughts. Sharada enters asking him if he is
still lost in last nite's thoughts.
Kashinath: No, in this happy atmosphere, we have forgotten about Jagat.
He is not only my friend but also a father who will be doing bidaii to his
daughter today.
Sharada: This day comes for every girl's father, Pandeyji.
Kashinath: Which very soon will come into our lives too. We too have to
do Vrinda's marriage. For that we need to find a very good boy.
Sharada: I am sure you will find a good boy for Vrinda, because she is
your ladli.
Kashinath: That she is.
Sharada: Come lets go. Your son is ready to tie his sehra.
Kashinath: yes, yes lets go.
Kashinath stands up.
Sharada: One minute, I tailored a sherwani for you, why are you wearing
this other pair?
She is very angry making face at him.
Kashinath: If you can surprise on the hospital land acquistion , can't I
hide this small thing from you? See how your face is turning red with
anger. Smile, smile please.
Sharada: Anyways, this looks good on you. Just like my Kanna (Lord
Krishna), pal pal sundar.
Kashinath: No, no like Shivji. Pal Pal prasand mukh
They leave.
The barath have arrived . Meeting of the bride and bridegroom sides.
Kashinath and Jagat hug.
Aditya thinks to himself. See how happy everyone is now. He wonders
how happy they will be when Abha Sanya…
Jagat hugs Adi and blesses him.
Jiji to herself. Hug your son in law as much as you want Jagat. After a few
moments, you may not get this opportunity. Or Aditya may or may not
remain your son in law.
Aaarti is done of Aditya.
Aditya is thinking to himself, knowing everything why is Jagat uncle doing
all this resams? Can it be that Abha has not told jagat uncle anything?
The boy side enter.
The bride is getting ready, the girls are teasing her.
Abha asks her bua for a promise to take care of her father because after
she leaves her father will be alone. She promises. Bua tells her that she
isn't going far and can come and see her father anytime as Sharada and
Kashinath won't object. They are also parents of a daughter so they
understand jagat's pain.
The girls continue dressing Abha.
Sharada, Jiji, Krshna and Vrinda bring Aditya to sit on some couch.
Krsihna and Vrinda leave to sprinkle gulab jaal on the guests. Jiji and Adi
are alone. Jiji leaves. As she is leaving, Aditya lifts his sehra and calls her.
Aditya: In a few minutes, this marriage is happening. Waiting any further
is stupidity.
Jiji: Abha idea was that at the correct moment of pheras to bring Sanya.
So that there is no problem on Jagat bhai's end.
Aditya: This entire family will become a spectacle. Why don't you
understand.
Jiji: Abha is making a big sacrifice for you. Why can't you agree to her
small requests?
She leaves from there.
Aditya is pacing around. He calls Abha on her mobile.
Abha picks up.
Aditya: Abha what is happening here? What are you planning to do? Why
haven't you talked to Jagat uncle about Sanya? Abha give me an answer. I
am asking you something.
Abha: I have spoken to my father. Like taiji said, Sanya will get her
passport and visa on time.
Aditya: Visa and passport? Taiji talked to you about Visa and Passport?
Aditya to himself. Such a big dhoka, such a big dhoka.
The End.
