Aahil leads his Ammi to a surprise party, held in honour of her. He wanted to appreciate her for all the things she was to him. Rehan and Sanam stand by and watch in trepidation, wondering if their plan will work...
Aahil wants to screen a slideshow of childhood photos of himself and his Ammi, Khala and Khalu's grimace was mirroring mine...
OH Ammi.. How I love thee...!
Aahil continues to extol the virtues of his wonderful Ammi, as everyone else visibly shift with unease and irritation. (well, Sanam/Seher and Rehan at least..)
He presents her with a necklace. And he is surprised to see it coming from Khalu, when he had expressly asked Rehan to hold on to it. She opens it, (She can't see yet???! What-the!) and finds only a piece of paper.
Aahil opens it and finds the birth certificate, Rehan the son of Tanveer...
Sanam and Rehan gulp in the sidelines.
<I felt bad for Aahil, there he was praising his Ammi to the skies while they set him up to find that piece of paper. And know that he was going to react to it badly... >
Some sweet romancing between Major Rahat and his much tortured wife Haya interrupts the tense drama...
<Really, these guys have more songs and dance sequences than anyone else!>
Aahil presses his Ammi for answers. WHy are you quiet? WHyhave you been hiding this? How can you keep your own son as a worker in your house!! Say something !!
Everyone just watched Aahil, stunned at the revelation.
Tell me this is a lie! Tell me this is wrong!
A lone voice cuts through, Yes, Ammi. Tell him this is all wrong...!
And Tanveer's shock is doubled. Rehan has challenged her to deny him, he has lent his support for that piece of paper.
Aahil is stupefied at his words. He turns bloodshot eyes to Rehan..
"You knew about this??"
< I wasn't sure if he was angry that Rehan didn't tell him about it; or empathy for the fact that he knew all along his mother had done this to him and the hurt he must have felt his whole life, watching Aahil with her.The latter, I think...>
We know Tanveer is going to spin this...
p/s: How awesome was KV today !! Gosh the pain and anguish in his eyes, was just amazing...
