Raman's Bedroom:

Raman is sitting on his bed lost in his thoughts. Just then Neelu walks in:

Neelu: Bhaiya nashta taiyaar hai. Aapko Mummy Ji neeche bula rahi hain.

Raman: Unse kaho nashta kar le aur mujhe koi abhi disturb na kare.

Neelu nods and leaves as Raman goes back to his thoughts.

Raman's mind and his thoughts are consumed by Ishita. Raman is struggling to understand his own feelings. He wonders why does anything Ishita do effect him so much? Why do his emotions always get the better of him when it comes to her? Why does he feel he has the right to vent on her as if she is one of his own? Why does he get bothered when he sees her hurt? Why can't he see tears in her eyes? Why does he feel pain when she is in pain?

His mind then wanders to his current problem... today he really overstepped his limits. He was sure that Ishita must be feeling very hurt right now. He yelled and behaved rudely with her for no fault of her own. And now everybody is advising him to go apologise to her and cheer her up. He knows it is the right thing to do but his ego comes in between- who is he to cheer her up? And why is it his responsibility to cheer her up? Yes he was wrong so he owes her an apology but nothing more than that! As always when it comes to Ishita his head and heart are in constant conflict and he is never sure what to do- listen to his head or follow his heart??

So engrossed is Raman in his thoughts that he does not notice a visibly angry Pihu storm into his room.

Pihu: Papppaaa!!!

Raman is startled hearing her voice. A big smile automatically appears on his face but he is surprised to see Pihu looking upset and angry. Raman automatically gets concerned!

Raman: Arey Pihu Beta! Tum yahan? Breakfast kar liya?

Pihu does not reply but continues to stare angrily at Raman.

Raman: Kya hua Pihu itne gusse mein kyun ho beta? Kisi ne tumse kuch kaha kya?

Pihu: Papa kisi ne nahin mujhe gussa aap pe aa raha hai! Aap aisa kaise kar sakte ho?

Raman: Arey Pihu!! Kya hua? Maine kya kiya beta? Meri princess Papa se itni naraz kyun hai?

Pihu: Aap bus acche hone ki acting kar sakte ho!!

Raman: Acting aur main?!? Pihu main tumhare Sajan Ka Sasural ka actor nahin hoon jo mujhe acting aati hai. Acha pehle papa ko batao toh tum naraz ho kyun? Apni princess ko toh main jhat se mana lunga.

Before Pihu has a chance to reply Raman gently lifts her up, makes her sit next to him on his bed and lovingly wraps her in a gentle hug.

Pihu: Papa I know what you're trying to do but mera gussa aise hi gayab nahi hoga!!

Pihu moves his arms away, turns to face him and stare at him angrily.

Pihu: Papa main aapse naraz isliye hun kyunki aapki wajah se Ishita Aunty kitni sad hain!

Raman is taken aback. He wonders how Pihu got to know about this!

Raman: Pihu aapko kisne bataya?

Pihu: Papa main Ishita Aunty ko good morning bolne gai thi. Aapko pata hai woh kitni sad hai? Woh bus statue ki tarah apne room main baithi hui hai. Unhone sabke liye breakfast mein dosas banaya aur woh khud hi ab kuch nahi kha rahi hai. Aapko pata hai Ishita Aunty ki mummy unke liye kitni worried hai?!? Doctor ne Ishita Aunty ko kaha hai ki woh snake poison ka unke health pe bad effect hua hai so unhein apna extra care karna hoga! But woh toh itni sad hai ki woh khana bhi nahi kha rahi and medicines bhi nahin le rahi. Aapko pata hai jab main waha thi toh woh bathroom jane ke liye jab uthi unhein chakkar aa raha tha. Woh itni weak ho gai hai aur unka face bhi pale ho gaya hai...

Raman is stunned hearing all this.

He feels all the more guilty but first he thinks he needs to find out how Pihu got to know that Ishita is upset because of Raman? He automatically thinks Ishita must have manipulated Pihu. But then he stops his mind from going there. He thinks he must stop assuming the worse when it comes to Ishita at least for now because Pihu is already upset with him and he cant afford to upset her further.

Raman: But Pihu... tumhari Ishita Aunty kisi bhi wajah se upset ho sakti hai.. tumhein kyun lagta hai ki meri wajah se woh itni sad hai? Sad toh koi bhi kisi bhi wajah se ho sakta hai.

Pihu: Maine Adi bhaiya aur Ruhi didi ko baat karte hue suna. Woh bol rahe the ki aapne aj morning Ishita Aunty pe gussa kiya aur woh hum sab ke liye breakfast le ke aai thi aur apne woh sab gusse mein dustbin mein phenk diya. Aap aisa kaise kar sakte ho Papa? Aapko pata hai world mein kitne bacche hain jinhe khana nahi milta aur aap gusse mein aake food waste kar rahe ho!! Acche log na food ki aur na hi dusre logon ki disrespect karte hain. Isliye kaha maine ki aap bus acche hone ki acting kar rahe ho warna aap yeh sab nahin karte.

Raman: Pihu itni badi aur acchi baatein kahan se sikha tumne?

Pihu: Ishita Aunty se. Woh hamesha mujhe aise good habits aur manners sikhati hai aur khud follow bhi karti hai... but that's not the point Papa... aapne aaj bad boy ki tarah behave kiya hai... Ishita Aunty kehti hai ki apne behaviour se we should always set good examples for people around us and for society too. It is our moral duty as humans and as responsible citizens of the country.

Raman is taken aback when he realises all the good things Ishita is teaching Pihu. He realises he was wrong in assuming that an innocent gesture of cooking food for Pihu had a selfish motive behind it.

Raman: You're right Pihu and Papa is very sorry beta. Please Papa ko maaf kar do.

Pihu shakes her head signaling no and turns away from Raman!

Just then Neelu comes in again.

Neelu: Pihu! Tumhe Dadi breakfast khane ke liye bula rahi hai.

Pihu: Neelu Didi, Dadi se keh do Pihu aaj apne Papa se gussa hai aur isliye bhook hartaal pe hai.

Neelu looks at Raman. Raman nods his head and asks her to leave signalling her that he will handle this. Raman looks at Pihu and starts wondering how to handle her.

Raman: Pihu Maine sorry kaha na. Tum papa ka gussa khane pe kyun nikal rahi ho?

Pihu: Aapne bhi toh wahin kiya na. Apna gussa khane pe nikala thanks to which khana dustbin mein pahunch gaya.

Raman is at loss of words. He does not know what to say. Finally he gets an idea.

Raman: Ok Pihu. Main apni galti manta hun. Acha batao main aisa kya karoon ki meri princess mujhse naraz na rahe? Kaise manaun main tumhe?

Pihu shrugs. She knows that Raman has fallen in her little trap but decides to torment him a little more before helping him.

Raman: Tumhari Ishita Aunty ne tumhein itna kuch sikhaya but yeh nahin sikhaya ki galti insaan se hi hoti hai. Aur jab koi apni galti sundharna chahe aur usse pata nahi ho ki woh aisa kya kare apni galti sudharne ko toh uski help harni chahiye.

Pihu smiles a little thinking her plan is working but as she turns to face Raman she looks at him with a very stern expression.

Pihu: Ishita Aunty kehti hai ki humein dusron ki hamesha help karni chahiye. Isliye aaj Pihu aapki help karegi. Agar aap chahte hain ki main apni bhook hartaal tod doon toh aapko Ishita Aunty ko jaake sorry bolna hoga, unko manana hoga, unko smile karana hoga aur unhein khana aur apne medicines khane ko convince karna hoga.

Raman pretends to be unwilling to do all this but deep down he is relieved that Pihu is asking him to do these things because now when any one wonders why he is doing all
this he can say he is doing it for Pihu when in reality he is doing it for himself.

Ranan: Ok agar tum chahti ho toh aisa hi hoga but thodi aur help chahiye... sorry toh main bol dunga tumhari Ishita Aunty ko but unko manana... yeh kaise karoon Pihu?

Pihu: Papa sorry isse zada help main nahi kar sakti. Aap khud socho kaise manana hai unhe. Main apne room mein ja rahi hoon. Jab aap unhe mana loge toh mujhe batana.

Without wasting a second Pihu gets up from the bed and leaves. There is a big smile on her face as she walks out.

Raman shakes his head in frustration and speaks out aloud to no one in particular...

Raman: Beta Raman lag ja kaam pe. Jhansi ki Rani ko manana matlab lohe ke chane chabane ke barabar hai upar se meri choti Punjabi Sherni... dono milke aaj band bajane wale hai meri... kuch sochna padega... sorry toh bol dunga but yeh manana... smile karana aur khana aur medicines khilana... yeh sab kaise hoga?!?

Raman starts pacing his room thinking of ways to cheer Ishita up. Suddenly inspiration hits him...

Raman: Jaise lohe ko loha katta hai waise hi dose ko dosa katega!! Chal Beta lag ja kaam pe. But pehle Pihu ko uske room se bahar nikalna hoga kyunki agar woh mujhe itne papad belte dekhegi nahi toh manegi kaise!!!

Raman quickly rushes out of him room to go talk to Pihu...

Iyer Dinning Room:

Madhavi, Vishwa, Bala and Kiran are sitting on the dinning table deep in discussion. They abruptly stop their discussion as they see Adi and Ruhi coming towards them.

Vishwa expectantly looks up hoping to see Ishita follow them out of her room but she doesn't appear.

Vishwa: Ishu nahi aai tum dono ke sath?

Madhavi: Aur Pihu ko kya hua? Woh bina kuch bole aise bhag ke chali gai.

Adi: Ishimaa naha rahi hai.

Ruhi: Aap log tension mat lo. Ishimaa ka mood thik karne ka plan start ho chuka hai.

Adi: Accha aap sab meri baat dhayan se suno. Thodi der mein Papa ayenge Ishimaa se milne. Aap log unse kuch mat bolna... bus unhe aur Ishimaa ko akele mein baat karne dena...

Bala: But usne phir Ishu pe gussa kiya toh? Kal jo hua hai uske bad tumhein lagta hai ki unhe akele mein baat karne dena thik hoga? Kahin gusse mein woh aur kuch...

Adi: Don't worry. Papa aisa kuch Nahin karenge... trust me...

Ruhi: Itne saloon mein ek papa hi hai jo Ishimaa ka mood thik kar pate hai jab woh kuch zada hi upset hoti hai.

Kiran: Woh tab jab Raman Raman tha... ab toh... That was the old Raman...but now...

Ruhi: Nahi. Tab jo tha woh ab bhi hai. Papa chahe Ishimaa se kitne bhi naaraaz ho woh aise unhe dukhi Nahi dekh payenge. Aap log please hum pe bharosa rakhye. Unki yadein chali gai hai feelings nahin.

Adi: Exactly bus aap log promise kijiye ki jab Papa ayenge aap un dono ko akela chod denge. N uske bad woh jo karna chahe aap unhein rokenge nahin...

Madhavi: Theek hai. Jaisa tum log kaho. Mujhe Ishu ki bahut chinta ho rahi hai. Abhi tak medicines nahin liye... kuch khaya bhi nahin.

Ruhi: I know Patti. Hum bhi worried hai but please thoda patience... Papa aate hi honge phir sab theek ho jayega.

Adi: Yeh dekho. Ishimaa ke tension mein aap log khana nahi khaoge toh kaise chalega?!?

Ruhi: Yes. Aise hi bahut problems hai tackle karne ko. Ab aap sab bhi bimaar n all padne lage toh phir hum kahan kahan kisko dekhenge. Abhi bhi bacche hi hai hum!! So please humpe thodi daya karo n aap sab apna khayal rakho. Ishimaa ki tension mat lo unko Papa sambhal lenge.

Everyone smiles at them. Adi and Ruhi serve dosas to everyone and urge them to eat. Once they start eating Adi and Ruhi quickly leave for they do not want to miss Raman being taken to task by Pihu.

Pihu's Bedroom:

Pihu has shut her bedroom door. She is leaning against the door with her ears pressed against it trying to listen. Soon she hears footsteps and she knows its Raman coming to see her. She quickly runs and curls up on her bed pretending to be sad. Within seconds she hears her door open and Raman come in. She then feels him sit on her bed but she does not turn to face him.

Raman shakes his head in amusement. He suddenly realises that she has a strong resemblance to Ishita in her mannerisms. He gently strokes her hair...

Raman: Pihu pata hai Papa soch rahe the ki tumhari aur tumhari Ishita Aunty ka jo yeh bhuk hartaal hai use kaise khatam kiya jaye...

Pihu just shrugs and continues to give Raman the silent treatment.

Raman frowns and thinks that she is ziddi just like me.

Raman: Main kya soch raha tha kyun na tum dono ki yeh bhook hartal dosas khilake todi jaye?

Pihu turns around to face Raman.

Pihu: Dosas? But aapne toh sare dosas dustbin me phenk diya. Toh dosas ayenge kahan se? Kaun banayega?

Raman: Main aur kaun!! Apni Princess ke liye Papa itna toh kar hi sakte hain na?!?

Pihu: But kya aapko dosas banana aata hai papa?

Raman: Zaroorat sabko sab kuch sikha deti hai. Aur is waqt mujhe apni princess ko manane ki zaroorat hai.

Pihu: Aur Ishita Aunty ko bhi.

Raman: Haan haan unko bhi. Ab chalo mere sath. Meri lucky charm ke bina yeh kam possible nahin hoga!!
