The story takes shape 25 years after SaHil's death...
Mahira arrives at Khan house, to meet her stepsisters, Saira and Banu aapa, who work as servants in the haveli.
Mahira is cute! Bespetacled, with braces and with a honest tongue in cheek humor. Joke tha !! Funny nahi laga? Thoda sa bhi nahin?
<She's very chirpy and down to earth and adorably awkward... with a penchant for bad jokes...>
SO she's come to stay with her stepsisters after their father's death, and she's to work as a horoscope writer for Bhopal's local paper.
A bigger storm is brewing in the Khan house...
Khan Begum descends downstairs with great pomp, to find her husband admiring his own photo. Naser Khan, was apparently once a famous actor,Anand Kumar, whose fame had passed.
A pretty young girl, Khaynath Khan, enters with a sweet smile, offers to get water for her dad. As she pours the water, the glass topples and smashes on the floor. She can't use her right arm, as it is stiff (a palsy? perhaps). Khan Begum rushes to her and hugs her in relief.
Strangely, Naser Khan pushes her aside and comforts his daughter.
"She's my daughter, Do not concern yourself with her. "
"But I'm her mother !!"
"You only have time to decorate yourself with finery, no time to hold and comfort your children. I was the one who picked you off the street, but one can't turn cheap metal into gold. One can teach the ways of the rich, but one cannot teach how to carry oneself with class..."
But a dramatic interference ensues... A deep baritone intercedes...
"That's enough Naser sahab!"
Enter the hero... Menacing walk , even more menacing expression. Very handsome, very serious. Very Angry.
"You speak your father's name like that!? Is this the manners your mother taught you??"
"My mother taught me manners, but i tend to forget it when someone demeans her..."
<Big wala father son feud here...>
"Now you better apologize to my mother, or together with my manners, I'll forget propriety !!"
"Azaad !!" cries his mother. She can see he is struggling with his temper, and grabs him and leads him away.
Outside Azaad, struggles with his temper. He is frustrated that she allows him to demean her like that.
<Oh boy... another Ammi ki laadla son...For God's sake Shaitaan hai voh!! Shaitaaannn !!>
Pretty sister comes and hugs her bhaijaan. She seems to be the apple of everyone's eye. Khan Begum tells Azaad to get a grip of his temper.
"If you want your Ammi to be happy, it can only be after I get my powers back. Then your father will love me again, and your sister's arm will be healed..."
Precap: Mahira ventures out to study the moon, and runs into trouble... and Azaad appears in the nick of time...
<Not bad. Rajbeer looks good. Dunno about chemistry yet, but the story is entertaining for now...>
KV I MISS YOU !!!
