Its been few months since Sameer came to Delhi after his Nanu passed away. He has been taken as a stranger by everyone except his Mom here who has been trying hard to strike a balance between him and his inlaws. But his Dadi has been the one after him along with their domestic help Keshav. Both of them never leave a chance to torture him ...be it forcing him to eat something he doesn't like...many times even not giving him meals in the name of discipline. She even got his hair cut as a revenge...and the only way he could reach his friends...phone...that too has been locked. He is finding each day in the Somani house a new torture for him. But he is Sameer who always found out a way to contact his friends through Amrita or the PCO booth.
One lucky day he observed that the lock wasn't there on the phone...not realizing that Dadi was hiding and observing as to what he would do when he finds it unlocked. Sameer immediately dialled Munna's number and started talking to him.
Munna: yaar Sameer kaisa hai tu? Kitne din huye tujhse baat huye? Bahut bechaini ho rahi thi yaar...
Sameer: main theek hu ...Pandit, Himmat, Swati, Preeti...sab kaise hain?
Munna: kisi aur ke bare mein tujhe nahi poochna kya?
Sameer: uske bare mein kya poochu? Main jaanta hu mere bina wo theek nahi hogi...
Munna: kitne ache se jaanta hai tu use...sach mein yaar wo tere bina bilkul theek nahi hai...tu jaldi se aa jaa na...
Sameer: kaise aaun yaar? Yahan Shalimar market ke sabse bade ghar ke logon ke dil kitne chhote hain...tu nahi jaanta...
While he was talking Dadi was observing him and as soon as she saw Somani she called him.
Dadi: Bobby wo tumhe aaj carpenter ko phone karke ghar pe bulana tha na...wo Rohan ke room mein ek extra cupboard chahiye...ab Sameer bhi yahan hai to Rohan ko apni cheezon ke liye jagah kam pad rahi hogi...
Somani: haan Mummy main abhi phone karta hu...
He went towards the phone and saw Sameer busy talking on phone and he had a smile on his face which made him all the more angry.
Somani: Sameer (he shouted)...tumhe mummy ne phone pe baat karne ke liye mana kiya tha na...
Sameer was shocked with a sudden outburst and he disconnected the call.
Somani: Mummy, Vishakha idhar aao... jab ise mana kiya tha to isne kyun phone ko haath lagaya...iski himmat kaise hui?
Sameer: phone pe taala nahi tha to maine apne dost ko phone kar liya...waise bhi yeh ghar nahi jail hai...jahan mujhe qaid karke rakha hai...
Vishakha: Sameer ...aise baat karte hain badon se...maafi mango...
Dadi: Vishakha tumhare Papa ne ise maafi maangna to sikhaya hi nahi... yehi fark hai isme aur mere Rohan mein...
Sameer: aapko mujhe jo saza deni hai de do...lekin main apne Nanu ke khilaaf ek shabd nahi sununga...
Somani: to theek hai...yehi sahi... tumhe yeh ghar jail lagta hai na... to jail kya hota hai ab main tumhe bataaunga... Aaj se tumhara ghar se bahar nikalna band...na tum ghar se bahar jaaoge na hi kisi se baat karoge...na bahar se khaana order karoge. Main tumhara school mein admission karaunga...Vishakha ke saath jaaoge aur usi ke saath wapas aaoge... Samajh gaye...ab jaao apne kamre mein...
Sameer: theek hai...aap mujhe to rok sakte hain...lekin mere doston ko kaise rokenge...ek din wo mujhe dhoondte huye zaroor aayenge...dekh lena...
Sameer went away to his room and saw Dadi tucking her flick behind her ear...he understood it was her plan to torture him like this. But he had no choice and he sat on the bed in despair on the way his life took a turn after his Nanu went away.
There Munna was worried with the sudden call disconnection and he thought of telling this to Pandit the next day in school. When they met, he told him everything.
Pandit: yaar Chhenu... Tu bhi na...tu jaanta nahi use...wo Sameer hai Sameer...hawa ka jhonka... wahan Dilli mein sab ki zindagi mein toofan le aayega agar kisi ne use pareshan kiya to...tu chinta mat kar...
Munna: Ponga Pandit...yaar baat wo nahi hai...baat yeh hai ki wo apne Nanaji ke jaane se waise hi itna pareshan hai...aur wo log use wahan pareshan karte hain... wo andar se toot na jaaye...bas yehi fikr hai mujhe...
Pandit: yaar tu fikr mat kar...agli baar jab Sameer phone karega to tu usse uske ghar ka number le lena... wo na sahi hum to call kar sakte hain na...(till that time they didn't have his Delhi number)
Munna: yaar Ponga Pandit aaj bahut dino ke baad tune samajhdari ki baat ki hai... yeh baat to mere dimaag mein hi nahi aayi...
Pandit: kaise aayegi...dimaag hai kahan tujh mein? Jo chhota dimaag hai wo tu frock wale Pandit ke liye kharch kar deta hai...
Munna: haan wo bhi hai...(suddenly he realized what Pandit had said and he gave an angry look to him). Pandit started running and Munna after him and after some time when both of them were tired ...they went to the canteen to have samosas and cold drinks.
There Sameer was thinking that Mundit atleast had each other to share everything and here he was all alone. Naina too must be feeling lonely despite being crowded by so many people...how he wished he could meet his friends and Naina. Days were passing by and Sameer wasn't getting any chance to contact his friends...this was taking a toll on his health and he fell ill... He had fever and chest infection as he couldn't adapt to Delhi's weather which was so unpredictable and Vishakha took good care of him while he wasn't well. Sameer was relieved to finally get some love and affection from his Mom but he was desperate to meet his friends.
There Mundit too were missing him and eagerly waiting for him to call but there wasn't any call since so many days. Now they too were slightly worried for him while Naina came to them and told that she saw a nightmare regarding Sameer and definitely something is not right with him. She needs to talk to him at any cost as she was worried that her dream and her intuitions can't be wrong. But having no way out all of them became worried and Naina was in tears thinking about Sameer. Munna couldn't see her crying and he tried consoling her.
Munna: arey Bhabhi aap rona band karo...agar Sameer ko pata chala ki hum logon ne aapka khayal nahi rakha to humara kya haal karega pata bhi hai?
Pandit: haan wo is Chhenu ki kodon se pitayi karwayega au rise deewar mein chunva dega... socho...deevar mein chunva dega to humara Chhenu saans kaise lega...?
Munna: aye Ponga Pandit...mujhe akele ko nahi...hum dono ko deevar mein chunvayega...
Pandit: mujhe kyun? Maine kya kiya?
Munna: to maine kya kiya hai? Batao...ek to bhabhi ko chup karana mushkil upar se dost aise jo deevar mein chunva denge... Tera kuchh nahi ho sakta Munna... tu to frock wale Pandit ke saath nikal le warna teri jaan khatre mein hai...
Naina had a smile on her face seeing their cute bond... she always knew that these 3 were inseperable... so far yet so close...
Naina: achha ab tum dono ladna band karo... main nahi ro rahi...ab theek hai...
Munna: haan Bhabhi ab theek hai...
Naina: aur yeh sab ke saamne mujhe Bhabhi bolna band karo...(she gave a light tap on his shoulder)
Pandit: theek hai Bhabhi... o mera matlab hai Naina... yeh sab to theek hai lekin...
Munna: lekin kya Ponga Pandit?
Pandit: yaar Sameer... Uska kya...itne din se na koi phone na chithhi... kya hua hoga?
Naina: mujhe to bahut fikr ho rahi hai...(suddenly an idea came to her mind and she was elated with her idea)... Ek idea hai... hum Dilli chal sakte hain...
Pandit: haan bahut achha idea hai... Dilli to agli gali ke nukkad par hai ...bas chaar kadam chalenge aur Dilli pahunch jayenge...kyun?
Munna: aur aapke pujya pitaji to apni car hume de denge...ki jaao bachhon meri gaadi le jaao aur mil lo apne dost se...
Naina realized what he was saying was right...she felt so stupid to even give this idea...
Naina: to ab kya Karen?
Mundit (together): aap fikr mat karo...hum dono koi jugaad nikallte hain... theek hai...
Naina agreed and both of them went away wrapping their arms around each other's shoulder. They had promised her that they would find a way out but they themselves didn't know what to do? The school ended for the day and everyone went back to their respective homes. At his home in the evening, Munna saw his father packing some items.
Munna: arey Papa...yeh kya pack kar rahe ho?
His father: beta wo Dilli mein tumhari Bua rehti hain na...unke yahan yeh sab cheezein pahunchani hain... to wo hi pack kar raha hu...
Munna was delighted to hear the word Dilli...although he knew his Bua was in Delhi but the idea never came to his mind.
Munna: Dilli...sach mein...
Father: haan...tu to aise hairan hai jaise tujhe pata nahi ki teri Bua Dilli mein rehti hain...
Munna: wo main na bhool gaya tha... Papa agar yeh samaan lekar main chala jaaun to...
His father: nahi nahi...kahin to yeh bhi bhool gaya ki tu kya karne aaya tha...to kya hoga...waise bhi main tujhe itne bade sheher mein akela kaise jaane du...
Munna: akela kahan Pandit bhi to jayega na mere saath...
His father: Pandit? Yeh achanak Dilli jaane ka kya chakkar hai...sach sach bata...
Munna: wo kya hai Papa...Sameer Dilli chala gaya hai na to maine socha ki Dilli jaakar usse mil bhi lenge...aapka kaam bhi ho jayega...aur thodi Dilwalon ki Dilli bhi dekh lenge...
His father knew that his son maybe notorious but he was very close to his friends...Pandit and Sameer... he asked him to take permission from Pandit's parents and only if they allowed, he would book the tickets for them. But he warned them to give the items at his sister's house first and then go and meet Sameer. He also asked him to be careful as it's a big city and people usually get lost there. He asked whether he had Sameer's address to which Munna lied that he had it. He thought he would never get the permission if he told him the truth. Munna told him that he would go only if his parents allow him to go with him and he went to Pandit's house to take permission. His parents were reluctant initially but after many tantrums from both of them...they agreed but they asked Munna to get the tickets booked on their own. Mundit agreed to this and they spent their pocket money in booking the tickets to Delhi. They were to leave the next evening by bus and next day in school they happily told this to Naina.
She was very happy to know that they were going to meet him...atleast she would get some information about him. She gave them a letter she wrote for him and asked them to give it only to Sameer and no one else. She also gave them her saved pocket money as she knew they must have spent theirs on the tickets. They were waiting for evening so that they could meet Sameer after so many days.
