Next morning, the girls were busy with their work in kitchen.
SIYA- Manvi.. ye bharat and shatrughan ke liye hai..
Said Siya tightening the lid of a jar.
MANVI- ye kya hai dii.? Laddoo..?
Manvi looks at the jar and then at Siya.
SIYA- ha.. bharat likes it. To un dono ke liye..
The girls giggles at Siya for her care.
SHRUTI- dii.. Hyderabad ja rahe hai wo log..Hongkong nahi.. why are you packing so many stuffs.?
Shruti questioned her while she gave a look at Shruti.
SIYA- tum logo ko kya problem hai.? Just do what I say, pack these things..
Siya ordered them while the girls nods at her still laughing.
URMILA- jo bola hai wo karo aap dono. Warna daat padegi..
Urmila and Shruti high-fived each other while Siya smile at them. Their conversation were interrupted by Kranti who enters the kitchen.
SHRUTI- maa.. you want anything.?
Asked Shruti looking at Kranti while she shook her head denying.
KRANTI- aa.. Manvi... Shruti.. Bharat and Shatrughan didn't go to office today.?
Asked kranti for which Manvi answered.
MANVI- ha.. wo.. aaj rat wo log Hyderabad ja rahe hai so.. they didn't go ..
Said Manvi continuing her work. Siya looks at her and then at Kranti.
KRANTI- acha.. then where are they.?
SHRUTI- maa.. Shatrughan is sleeping..
Answered Shruti while Kranti nods at her. She looks at Manvi waiting for her to speak.
MANVI- Bharat is at terrace..
Answered Manvi looking at Kranti. She nods at her and leaves from there while Siya nods in disbelief looking at manvi's anger towards Kranti.
Kranti stops at the door looking at Bharat busy with his painting. She smile at him lightly. Her eyes falls on the paints and the brushes kept on the table and Bharat's hands full with colors...
KRANTI- Bharat...
Bharat turns at the door to look at Kranti.
BHARAT- maa.. ayiye na..
Kranti moves towards him and looks at his painting. It was a beautiful painting of a peacock's feather. Kranti looks at Bharat who was busy coloring it.
KRANTI- tonight you and shatrughan are leaving for Hyderabad.?
Bharat nods at her in yes. Kranti took a step forward, near him. He stops his work and looks at his mother. She lovingly caresses his face.
KRANTI- apna khayal rakhna. Have your food on time. And.. take care of Shatrughan too..
Kranti gets emotional instructing him while Bharat smile at her.
BHARAT- don't worry maa. Hum dono ek dusre ka khayal rakh lenge..
Kranti smile at his words.
KRANTI- apna kam ache se karna. Make your papa proud of you..
BHARAT- maa.. papa ka to nahi pata.. but if we could manage properly with this project then definitely my Ram bhaiya is going to be proud of me..
Kranti's smile lessened hearing Ram's name from Bharat. She leaves him while he continued with his painting.
BHARAT- bhaiya ko mujhse bohot umid hai maa. And I want to prove him right. I want to make him proud.. wo bohot khush honge mere success se...
Said Bharat getting happy while Kranti didn't said anything. She thinks something and looks at Bharat.
KRANTI- ek bat puchu Bharat.?
Asked kranti for which Bharat nods in agreement.
KRANTI- agar kabhi tumhe.. apni maa aur apne Ram bhaiya ke bich kisiko chunna pade.. to tum kise chunoge..?
Bharat stops in between and gets surprised by her question. He turns to look at him who was staring him for his answer. Bharat keeps his brush down and wipes his hands with the napkin. He holds kranti's shoulder and smile at her.
BHARAT- aapko maa..
Kranti smile hearing his words. Tears started forming in her eyes. She was about to touch his face when he continued further.
BHARAT- because my Ram bhaiya has always taught me this..
She stops in between and her smile reduced hearing Bharat.
BHARAT- bhaiya ne hamesha hume yahi sikhaya hai maa.. to place our parents above all. To respect them the most. Because of them we are in this world.
Kranti looks at him and listened to his words. She controlled her tears and gulped looking down.
KRANTI- ram kabhi.. galat bhi to.. ho sakta hai...
Said Kranti in a low voice looking down. Bharat looks at her in surprise.
BHARAT- kabhi nahi maa.. bhaiya kabhi galat nahi hote..
Kranti looks at him and didn't said anything.
BHARAT- bhaiya hamesha hum sab ke liye jo possible ho wo karte hai. Wo kabhi hamare liye galat nahi soch sakte.
Kranti nods her head lightly. Bharat continued his painting while Kranti looks at him getting disappointed.
