(Daadi sees a dream that Pragya is kidnapped by Tannu and her boyfriend. She freaks out. She goes to check on Pragya but she is not in the room, only Abhi is sleeping. Daadi looks around the house and does not find Pragya. She freaks out more. She calls Purab, Ronnie etc. but no one knows where Pragya is. Daadi tries to assure herself all is well but again she has deja vu about Pragya kidnapped. She tries to sleep but can't. She calls Pragya but her phone is unreachable.The dream keeps repeating in her head. She wakes Abhi up finally and decides to ask him too about Pragya).
A: Uff Daadi.. come sit.. you want some water?
D: Abhi Abhi Abhi..
A: Soney do na, Daadi (let me sleep)...
D: Abhi, where is Pragya?
A: She must be sleeping there on the bed...
D: No Abhi, she is not there..
A: Why are you so worried, Daadi?
D: Beta, please find her.. I am soo..
A: Arey Daadi, why are you sweating..what happened? Mogmabo must be here only (looks around, under the bed, in the fridge etc.).
D: Beta, she is in trouble.. go find her.. call police..
A: What Daadi?
D: Beta, she is not there. I already looked everywhere.. her phone is not getting connected also.
A: Why are you so worried if she is not around..sleep na Daadi. I will also sleep in peace.. She must be torturing someone. She will come back soon to torture us.
D: No beta, my heart is saying she is being tortured.
A: That's the best news ever Daadi. I always wanted to torture her.. she tortured all of us na, now she will get tortured yipeee..
D: Shut up, Abhi. Just go and find her..
A: Daadi why are you siding her so much? Even if she is in trouble, why should I find her? You always ask me to help her. I am tired of being a good human being. Remember that she has occupied us. And now she is not even letting me marry Tannu. She doesn't care about the baby at all..She is such a.. inhuman, venomous, horrible, scary..
D: Stop all this Abhi.. She is nothing like that.
A: Daadi are you okay? What's wrong with you?
D: I am telling you na? She is nothing like that..She is the same Pragya you knew... what do you call, Fuggy..
A: No way, she is my Fuggy... Daadi it's late night.. you haven't gotten your sleep.. so you are sleep talking.. please go sleep...
D: No beta, not today.. you have to listen to me.. Pragya has not changed.. she is still the same Pragya..
A: Daadi, what are you talking about... she took all my money, remember?
D: She didn't...I asked her to..
A: No way, you are just dreaming Daadi..you are still in sleep..
D: I am not dreaming..
A: Daadi she treated her own mother badly..
D: That was a part of her act too.. to teach a lesson to Tannu and...
A: Impossible, Daadi.. you ARE dreaming..
D: No, I am not dreaming..
A: She rejected her love for me too Daadi, you don't know...
D: She did that for your own good, and I am not dreaming..
A: Daadi, I understand you wanted Pragya to be the same.. but it's not like that.. she cheated me..
D: She never cheated you, Abhi.. I told her to...
A: Uff Daadi.. come sit.. you want some water?
D; She is not cheating you Abhi.. Tannu is.. Pragya is doing all this because she doesn't want you to marry Tannu..
A: Daadi if she was Fuggy, she would have never asked me to not marry Tannu.. in fact Fuggy was the one who made me accept Tannu..
D: Arey beta.. she didn't know it then... you don't even know.. that baby.. that baby is not even yours.. it's not our waaris..
A: Arey you forgot or what Daadi? Remember you want me to care for that baby more than I ever wanted to. I know you are waiting for your "waaris"...
D: How do I tell you Abhi.. you should not marry Tannu.. she is cheating you...
A: Arey Daadi, remember last night you wanted me to announce my marriage with Tannu to the whole world in my concert.. you forgot.. Oh No.. I think you are really dreaming.. Daadi.. come I will take you to your room..sleep...
D: Arey Abhi.. I am not dreaming.. how many times do I tell you?
(right then Pragya walks out of the bathroom. She has had an upset stomach, so she was unloading it..)..
A: Daadi, I told you Mogambo must be around only..
D: Pragya tell him I am not dreaming... tell him everything about Tannu...
P: (Shocked).. Daadi what happened to you...
A: Mogambo, something happened to Daadi.. she is talking all ulta pulta... she is saying you are not Mogambo..
P: (Freaks out thinking if Daadi is trying to tell truth to Abhi.. but she does not want her to given she has a plan to expose Tannu in the upcoming concert..).. Daadi what happened to you.. I am Mogambo, lady Mogmabo..
D: Pragya, you... tell him the truth Pragya..
P: What truth, Daadi (tries to shush her)...
A: Mogambo, she needs rest.. you will tense her further.. I think my Daadi is too old.. and what do they say.. old people start to forget things and become delusional?.. Alzheimer's? We need to take her to doctor..she is dreaming things.. and thinking it's reality..
P: I think so too.. I will take her to her room..
A: Not you.. I will..
D: Arey, why don't you guys let me speak... I am not dreaming..
P and A: You are dreaming Daadi.. please sleep..
(Abhi takes Daadi to her room and tucks her in her bed... asks her to not speak a word and just sleep. He sits by her side thinking about which doctor he should take her to).
PS: This drabble is dedicated to Daljit Soundhji and Shabbo.. both were comically brilliant in today's epi.
