Track for After Archana's Father Heart Attack
By Vera from USA
Archana tries to return Jaywant's gifts as we all saw today. Then we saw her father have a heart attack as mother and daughter argued and he fell.
Here's a possibility that might work after the heart attack:
Archana is shocked and dumbfounded that her father suffered a heart attack and he is immediately taken to the hospital. There, Sulochana Ayi lets loose on her daughter like never before.
Sulochana Ayi: "Yeh sab teri vaja sey ho raha hai, Archu. Na tu zid karti, na tere Baba ko sadma pohochta, aur na yeh din dekhna padta. Sara khandaan dar ke marey maraja raha hai. Kya hoga? Aho bach jaenge ya'hey Bapa, kuch karo, ab bardasht nahi hota'"
Archana: "Ayi, tu fikar mat kar Bapa sab thik karenge, Baba ko kuch nahi hoga, bharosa rakh, kuch nahi hoga, aa tu bait yahan'" She tries to touch her mother and have her sit on a nearby chair at the hospital, and her Ayi snatches her hand away saying "Haath maat laga mujhko. Apne swarth ke karan, tuney hamari zindagi mein aur teri beheno ki zindagio mein aag lagai hai'Agar tere Baba ko kuch hogaya na, Archu, mein tujse kabhi baat nahin karoongi, kabhi nahi'." She begins to weep the whole family gather around her to comfort her, Archana stands all alone by the side, with no one even listening to her side of the story. Everyone shoots her dirty looks, as though she caused the heart attack and as if it's all her fault. Tears flow down her eyes.
The Doc comes in and says that the father is still in critical condition but stable, but no one can see him right now, they can only see him from the window. Everyone gets to look at him, when Archana tries to go near the window, her Ayi blocks her path abruptly and stops her. Neither her sisters nor her brother step in to help Archana. Manju giggles in her evil way while covering her smile.
Sulochana: "Rukhja wahin'tu apne Baba ko nahin dekh sakti, teri wajasey yeh hua, tu nahi dekhegi unko! Vinod hatao usey!" Vinod ushers Archana further away from the door, Archana is aghast at her brother's behavior.
The whole family is one side of this predicament and Archana is on the other; she has to stand alone against her own family and has become a pariah.
The Doc says that they just have to wait for him to regain consciousness and that they can go home. They reach home, everybody is in a tense mood and Archana is ostracized.
She tries to talk to her sisters, they argue with her and hold her responsible, while also blaming her for the tension they are feeling from their respective Sasu-Ayis and hubbies. Then Varsha and Vaishali warn her that unless she personally apologizes to their husbands and Mothers-in Law, they will cut ties with her, because this is a question of the peace of their home that has been disrupted because of one act of hers. They leave in their cars.
Then her Ayi comes in and lashes out at a crying Archana, who is sitting on the floor in her bedroom crying.
Sulochana: "Hogai thandak pet mey? Apne Baba ko maut key moo me dekelke? Archu, tu samajthi kyun nahin? Yeh tere sar se Manav ka bhoot kab utrega? Yeh pagalpan tere poorey parivar ko kha ja raha hai, kya tujhe yeh dikhai nahin deta? Ek baat sunle. Teri shaadi Jaywant Rane ke saath hogi, mein dekhti hu key tu kaisey na karti hai un bhaley logon ko. Arre, shukar kar ki woh log abh bhi hamari baat sunne ko taiyaar hain. Jaywant jaisa pati tujhe kabhi nahin milega. Aaj kal ki dunya mein tuj jaisi talaq shuda ladki ko koi nahin bihayega. Ek ladka himmat kar raha hai, aur tu usey aisa sila de rahi hai?"
Then Archana takes a deep breath. Wipes the tears from her face. Gets up and walks up to her Ayi.
Archana: "Ayi, bachpan se ley kar aaj tak, tere hi sikhaegae sanskaro pe chali. Tuney jis ladke key samne bithaya, mein chup chap beth gai. Kitna apmaan hua mera, kitna sharminda hona pada mujhe, lekin meri ankhon mein, jo meri Ayi tae karegi wohi mere liye bas tha. Tu jo bolti thi, mein use Bhagwan ka vachan samajti thi. Meri nazaron mein tu kabhi galat ho hi nahin sakti. Lekin aaj, aaj tuney mera dil puri tara sey tod diya. Mujhey mere apne Baba ko dekhne nahin diya. Yeh tuney thik nahin kiya Ayi." Sulochana feels guilty about that but says nothing.
Archana: "Ek baat mein keh deti hu, bhalehi aap sab log mujhey kasoorwar thaerai, dosh sara mujhey hi de, mujhey Baba ki is halat ki zimmedaar banae, mein seh loongi. Lekin teen insaanone gunah kiya. Ek bekasoor aur gareeb ko jhoote kagaz par sign karake jhootha declaration of guilt liya. Jaywant jail jakey Manav ko dara dhamkakey kehne laga, ke agar woh sign nahin karega, tou mein saari zindagi kunwari bethi rahungi, kyunki who mujhsey rishta tod dega. Manav ne mere bhaley ke liye, meri khushiyon ke liye, mere bhavishya ke liye, sign kar di. Usne yeh kiya, yeh puri tara jante hue, ke usey maut ki saza sunai jasakti hai, oos kabulnamey ko le kar. Ayi, Manav apni zindagi dao pe laga raha hai. Ek bekasoor insaan, itni badi qurbani deneko tayar hogaya teri beti ke liye, aur ham ab bhi usey hi bura mante hain. Hamara rishta badnaam rishta nahin, Manav aur mera rishta aaj bhi utna hi pak hai, jis din ham pehli baar miley they. Yeh tou aap achi tara janti ho. Is pak aur pavitra rishte ko badnaam naam koi de, aur mein beti sunti rahu, aur who bhi us admi sey, jo apne faede ke liye, ek gareeb ko phasi ki rassi se jhoolta hua dekhna chahta hai, jab Manav ne koi galati nahin ki."
Sulochana: "Manav, Manav, Manav!!!! Bas Archu, bahut hogaya. Mein ek aur baar tere moo sey us khooni ka naam nahin bardasht karsakti! Bardasht ki bhi hadh hoti hai!"
Archana: "Jail mey woh bekasoor sadh raha hai, aur koi uski baat sunne ko tayaar nahin. Tum bardasht ki hadh ki baat karti ho, Ayi?"
Sulochana leaves in a huff and a puff.
Archana packs a small bag, takes the Gita with her and puts it in the bag and takes her Bapa's Murti out of the little mandir in her bedroom. She covers it with a piece of cloth and walks out.
Sulochana: "Kahan jaa rahi ho?" angrily.
Archana says nothing, but keeps walking.
Sulochana: "Agar jaa rahi ho, tou laut ke mat aana, samjhi? Is ghar ke darwaze tumharey liye bandh kiye jaengey, sirf tumhari zid ki wajaey se."
Archana keeps walking and reaches the outside door.
Sulochana: "Yaad rakho Archana, burey waqt mein sirf aur sirf apne kaam atey hain, paraye nahin, yehi neeyam hai dunya ka."
Archana: "Ayi, agar yehi neeyam hai, tou pata nahain ke merey hi mujhe kaam kyun na aye, jab mujhe unki zindagi mein sabsey zyada zaroot hai."
Sulochana: "Manav tera koi nahin Archu! Woh tera koi nahin!"
Archana: "Thik kaha Ayi, Manav mere koi nahin. Aaj to is dunya mein hi mera koi nahin, sivaye inkey'" She unwraps the cloth from Bapa's small Murti and shows it to her Mother while standing on the road. "Bapa tou mere saath hein, martey dam tak. Mujhe raasta woh dikhaenge, mujhe sahara unsey milega, jab mein ghabrake unko pukaroongi, tou who mujhe zaroor jawab denge, mere apne de, ya na de. Yeh jab mere saath hain, mujhe koi dar nahin. Mein jaa rahi hu Ayi. Apna khayal rakhna'.Auto!"
Sulochana is shocked and feels as though she may have said too much and gone too far, and even have lost her daughter emotionally forever by choosing to believe her damaads and not her, even though deep down she knows Archana is right and they are corrupt.
Archana is sitting at the train platform, when Ajit spots her. He convinces her to go home with him and stay with Vandu and him till she finds some place safe. Finally, she agrees.
Once they reach their home'
Ajit: "Janti ho Archana, factory mein tumhari office khali kardiya gaya hai, tumhare naam ki takti bhi darwazey pe sey ootar di. Dharmesh bahut neech admi hain. Kissi gareeb mazdoor ki parwa nahin usey. Lekin, mein janta tha ke who log aisa hi karne waley hain. Tou jab Dharmesh Sir lunch peg aye, tou meine unki office mei jaa kar who file leli, jispe tum charo ke signatures hain. Hain mana, ki who originals nahin, lekin hamarey pass kuch to hona chaiye? Meiney apne purane dost jo vakil hain, ko bulaya hai yahan. Who ata hi hoga. Yeh lo file, dekhlo. Phir teeno milke soch te hain ke paise ki takat ko saachai se kaisey thoda ja sakta hai. Yehi ek tarika hai Manav ko chhuraneka. Mera job tou samjho gaya. Koi aur miljaega. Lekin yeh file hamarey liye bahut ahem hai. Padho."
At Ajit's home, the lawyer arrives and Archana and Ajit show him the file that Ajit took from Dharmesh's office and discuss the possibilities of freeing Manav. The lawyer listens to the whole story from both of them and says the file is important, but they must play a trick on Jaywant, the man who threatened Manav and made him sign a false confession under duress and threats. He says that in court, Jaywant will expect to be called as a witness for the prosecution, but they will call him as a witness for the defense but will not tell him that they are going to do so, he will be caught unawares and will not have had the time to prep for his lies.
Ajit, the lawyer and Archana contact the police inspector at the police station and go to see him where Manav has been incarcerated and ask to speak with him, the lawyer says to the inspector that they have new information on Jaywant and that Jaywant is planning to get the inspector into trouble, even though the inspector helped him and let him enter Manav's cell and knows about the false declaration and confession. The inspector was the person who gave Jaywant the baton to intimidate Manav and interrogate him, which was illegal.
Just then Satish turns up and apologizes to Archana and promises to help exonerate Manav, who is listening to all this just a few feet from where everyone is talking. The lawyer tells the inspector that Jaywant is going to turn on him and asks him how much he was paid. They make a deal, if he blurts out the truth in court tomorrow, they will try to keep him out of trouble, if not, he will be reported to the Police Commissioner, as Ajit is very good friends with his son. The Inspector agrees. Just then Jaywant calls him, but they tell him not to pick up the cell and to keep out of Jaywant's reach till the trial, otherwise they know Jaywant will buy him off and make their case weak.
In court, the Inspector rats on Jaywant on the stand and then Archana takes the stand that her signature was taken without her knowledge that it would be used to accuse an innocent man and also that Prakash's word cannot be taken as true, because it cannot be substantiated by any strong proof that Manav ordered the two workers who died to steal the machinery parts, considering the fact that it was Manav who asked for the parts to be replaced because it was dangerous to the lives of the workers. Then Satish takes the stand and says the entire declaration is false and untrue and that the management signed the declaration to save themselves and in the process implicated Manav. Archana also testifies that she herself heard from Jaywant that he forced Manav to sign the confession, she also testifies that Dharmesh and Jaywant plotted to protect the company and lay the whole blame at Manav's feet. After hearing everything, the Judge exonerates Manav due to lack of proof and Manav is freed.
Manav gets down from the stand and Savita and Damodar rush toward him and hug him, while his eyes are fixed solely on Archana who is now leaving the courtroom with Ajit, Satish and the lawyer, as Shravni looks on with jealousy.
