Parts -1,2,3- page 1
Part-3
While writing this part, I realised that just few days back we were angry on MA and the writers tried to sideline our anger by shifting it to the ladies, and instead made us feel sad for him and thus side with him. And I can say they did a great job at this. This was making it more difficult for me to write this part as I was not sure whether I will be able to make it connect to that situation again or not.
Since I started writing this story based on the precap of challenge, I didn't know that Dadi would come into picture.
So I thought of an alternate scenario of how Manushi made Babu believe in her lies. So let us go back to it.
Flashback-
So after the warning by MH to her Mannu didi, she rides off on her bike.
Manushi is terrified. If her truth comes into light, all her dreams of leading a luxurious life will go down the drain. She knows that since MH already rode off in her bike, it would not be possible for her to reach Ahlawat mansion before her sister. Thus she have to act quick. She takes out a Mentos from her purse and chews it to light her dimag ki batti, and it works. She immediately called her mother.
On call-
Manushi- Maa , wo na Meet panchayat nahi pohoch payi, toh maine na usse bachane k liye yeh keh dia ki meri tabiyat aachanak kharab ho gayi thi aur isliye Meet ko hamare ghr aana para. Wese v Babita aunty ko na subahi batayi Hui thi ki Aaj mai thori late pohoch sakti hu kyunki Mera sar dard kar Raha tha. (Actually she had to plan for the kidnapping na)Toh wahi bahana de d.Agar Babita aunty phone karke puche na, toh aap unhe bachane jhooth bata dijiyega haa please ki Meet na hamare ghr aayi thi. Aur meri tabiyat kharab thi. Mai na bilkul v nahi chati hu ki phir se Meet ko khari khoti sunna pare.
Anubha- Thik hai, mai Daadi ko v bata deti hu.
Manushi- Thik hai maa mai rakhti hu.
Call ends.
Then she immediately calls Babita.
On call
Manushi- Aunty wo actually I know ki aapko parson show k liye designs submit karni thi par wo kya hai na mere sar dard thik hi nahi ho rahe hai.
(In my TS the fashion show is later but two days later Babita is required to submit sketches of sample designs. So she told that the challenge will start the day after this submission. I don't know much about fashion world so agar koi mistakes reh gaye to please point out)
Babita- Don't worry Manushi aaj mera v man nahi hai after what happened in panchayat. Lekin kal subah 7 baje hi aa jana. Kaam bohot baki hai
Manushi - Wo... aunty mujhe na aapse..
Babita- kya hua Manushi batao
Manushi- Aunty mujhe na pata hai aapke paas time Kam hai par mai na aapke waha aur kaam nahi kar sakti
Babita- What? Par kyun?.?...
Manushi- Wo aunty kya hai na meri behen nahi chahti ki mai aapke waha kaam karun. Usne mujhe dhamki d hai agar mai waha jau toh wo mujpar Ravi k kaand aur aaj k unke late aane ka blame saara mujpe daal degi.
Babita- But Meet tumhari behen hai na wo essa kyun karegi?
Manushi- Kyunki wo nahi chahti ki mai aapke bete k aas paas rahu. Wo mujhse hi true love karte hai na, meri choti behen ko nahi. Toh unhe dar hai ki wo phir se mere taraf jhukao na mehsoos kare.
Babita-Par tumne toh khud bhaagi thi naa shaadi se
Manushi- Wo aunty mai kya baataun. Itne din jo chupa k rakhi thi usse aaj na aapko apna samajh k bata hi deti hu. Wo na mai apni shaadi se apni marzi se nahi bhagi thi. Meri behen aapke bete ko chahne lagi thi naa toh usne mujhe dhamki d thi k agar mai bhaag nahi jau toh wo na mere bare mai jhooti rumours phela degi ki meri affair chal rahi hai ek Kunal naam ki college friend se. Meri baas friend tha wo jiske saath Maine photo khichi thi toh ussi se.
Babita - Ye sab kya keh rahi ho tum? Meet essi larki toh nahi lagti mujhe.
Manushi- Aunty agar aapko biswaas nahi hai na toh aap mere ghr mai puch sakte hai k aaj Meet yaha aayi thi ki nahi aur mai tabiyat kharab hone k karan Ghar par thi ki nahi. Aur phir agar Meet aapse jhooth bolenge toh aapko toh pata chal hi jayega na ki wo jhooth bolte hai ki nahi.
Babita- Par isse shaadi k baat par kaise yakeen karu?
Manushi- Aunty aap hi sochiye Jo ladki apni hi behen k sar itne barein aur ghatia blame de sakte hai toh kya wo shaadi k kaand possible nahi hai? Aapna mere ghr mai phone karke puch sakti hai. But please haa aap Shaadi k sachai ko mat nikaliye. Mai nahi chahti ki Daadi aur Maa ko phir se aur dukh ho.
Babita-Thik hai mai dekhti hu. Tum baas kal subah kaam pe aa jana.
Call ends
So Babita cuts the phone and immediately calls Anubha, wo confirms that Manushi is speaking the truth. On MH's return, Babita interrogates the same way as in the show but as she thinks that MH is lying in this case, it is possible for her to lie about the wedding too. However, she is in two minds about it. So she decides to test them and along with that the truth will be clear too.
Although, Manushi said that she would not come, Babita insists her to come as she has some other important work.
So Babita then challenges both of them the same way and the similar conversation continues after which MH accepts the challenge. But the only difference here is that Babita would start the challenge two days later after she submits her sketches. Flashback ends.
(The last part was for MH. But simultaneously what MA was doing is what I am going to write next)
After MH left the room, MA was too shocked. He realises that MH is hurt for sure. Otherwise if the girl who always used to forgive him, didn't mind even his worst accusations is behaving this way, then something surely must be wrong. His thoughts get directed to the harsh words he uttered during Pagphera. She still forgave him and fought to save his life and even took care of him. He recalls how she defended her father in front of Ravi. So a girl who can't let his father get insulted even within the household would never let the same happen in the Panchayat without some solid reason. He also remembers how she took accusations on herself to hide about his Mannat or during Isha's issue.
A girl who would take accusations even without her fault would never deny to do so if she really did something like this. He must ask her forgiveness for blaming her and not trusting her. He now feels guilty of even thinking that a pure soul like her can harm someone unless it is actually necessary and realises that she would definitely own up if she actually did the crime. He made up his mind to ask her forgiveness as soon as possible. What might be the reason behind the mess? Who would want to blame her unnecessarily ? If it reached to the extent that she was kidnapped then the situation must be grave. He suddenly remembers her wounds and realises she needs dressing.
So he too goes searching for her throughout the house. By the time he reaches the garden, she had already returned to their room for dressing. MA on not finding MH returns to the room and was about to enter it when he saw her dressing her wounds herself.
MA- Do mai tumhari madad kar deta hu.
MH looks him from bottom to up and says- Koi zaroorat nahi, halat dekh Tera, tu esse dressing karega toh mujhe infection ka keeda lag jayega.
MA- O haa, mai toh vul hi Gaya tha, sab tumhari wajah se hua hai. Tumhe dhundte dhundte garden chala gaya aur fisal k gir gaya. Ussi ka natija hai. Dekho meri skin v kharab ho sakta hai.
MH- Mitti se na koi skin kharab nahi hota. Hum sab insaan mitti se hi bani hai na. Haa wese tu toh ooth hai na, tujhe rait chahiye honge, esse gili mitti tujhpe suit nahi hoga.
MA- Thik hai mitti ki bani chori, aaj se breakfast, lunch aur dinner mai mitti hi khana tum. Mai abhi aati hu phir tumhari madad kar dunga.
MH-Pehle khud thik ho le phir mere madad k bare mai sochna. Maine kaha tha na, meri chot hai, iska ilaaz mujhe hi karna hoga. Mujhe tera madad nahi chahiye.
Listening to the last line, he keeps staring at her.
MH- Ghoor kya raha ha? Ab JAAA..
MA- Ok, ok , relax, jata hu, jata hu.
So MA goes to the bathroom to clean himself.
But when he comes back to talk to her, he can already see her leaving with his father, Sunaina and Isha. Finding no way, he decides to wait for them to return.
On the other hand, Manushi tells Babita that she is feeling better now and hence can start her work now. Obviously, she wants to impress Babita with her achai ka mukhowta, so she has to buy more time around her.
(And then all the scene in Hooda house happens as in the last part)
The 4 of them decides to leave before Manushi arrives. RV sees that both her Bahus have faced so much in the last few days. So in order to cheer them up, he makes a plan with Isha. Instead of returning back home immediately, he takes them to the famous Chandigarh Rock Garden. All 4 of them spent some peaceful moments sitting there quitely. Once all of them has loosened up their stress, RV took them to have street food and enjoy together. After a great time together they decide to return home taking the longest route so that they can reach home as late as possible.
On the other hand, MA is going restless, waiting for MH's arrival. He knows that the 4 of them are together and hence she is safe but still knowing that she was kidnapped that very day couldn't stop him from worrying. Not able to control himself further, he calls her.
On call
MA- Hello, Tum kaha ho? Abhi tak aayi kyun nahi? Thik toh ho na?
MH- Mujhe kya hoga? Haa abhi pohoch Rahi hu 10-15 minute Mai.
Then there was an awkward silence between them.
MA- Wo..wo..suno..
MH- Bye mai phone rakhti hu.
Call ends.
MH cuts the call abruptly as she was not able to control herself from being reminded of his words calling her a thief. She was always accused by different people of even graver things, but never was she hurt so much. Because, in the last few years, this is the first time she began to have 'expectations' from someone. Expectations that someone would understand her inside out. Expectations that someone would blindly trust her. Expectations that someone would accept her as she is. Expectations that someone would stand by her no matter what.
As she had to grow up suddenly after her father's death, the word 'expectations' disappeared from her life's dictionary. After a long time the same kind of expectations began to slowly build for her husband, her Dauduraam. She knows he cares for her, supports her, stands by her and accepts her as she is. That is why, even a tiny bit of lack of trust by him has hurt her this bad. She wants to forgive him but could not bring herself to do so.
The 4 of them reaches home so late, that they find the rest of the family members waiting at the dinner table for them, of course except Masoom and Duggu. She was very hungry and therefore already finished hers. Everyone told Duggu to eat too as he has school the next day.
After dinner MA was eagerly waiting for MH to come to their room so that they could talk but there was no sign of her. He decides to call her ringing her phone.
On call
MH- Areh kya hua? Ek hi ghr mai rehke call kyun kar Raha hai?
MA- Wo phone se na mai bed pe lait k araam se baat kar sakta hu, itni sari steps leke tumhe dhunda nahi parega , isliye. Wo sab choro, itni raat ko kaha ho? Kab aa rahi ho.
MH- Wo Aaj na mai our Isha wo kya kehte hai, Haan.., sleepover karne wale hai, isliye Aaj toh mai nahi jaane wali.
MA- Kya? Purra din toh Isha k saath hi thi na , phir se? Please jaldi room Mai aao mujhe tumse baat karni hai.
MH - Haa toh phir phone pe hi bata de.
MA - Areh esse nahi tum aao yaha, phone pe ye baat nahi bol sakta na.
MH- Toh phir mujhe ab nahi sunna, kal bata dena. Ab mai phone rakhti hu.
MA- Areh suno meri baat....
The call ends
MA- Phir se kaat dia😐. Ye mujhe avoid kar rahi hai kya? Haan wo mujhe avoid kar rahi hai. Ab kya karu? Kal hi baat karna hoga.
MA gets disappointed. He misses her presence in the room. He remembers the different sweet moments they spent in this room together. Their fights,their sharats their care for each other. He laughs remembering how she tied his leg on the night he had to go for Mannat and ponders if he should also tie her to him the same way now so that she can't go away. He realises that he had been distributing things as per his Mannat since long but just after MeetH supported in his work, he got his Tej Veera back.
He however decides that he will continue with his monthly charity taking MH with him even though the purpose is fulfilled.
He remembers how excited she was for her first day of college, and becomes sad remembering what it had turned into.
He remembers how in the next morning of their marriage, he didn't want her in his room. And now without her in this room he feels incomplete.
Next morning, MH leaves with Tez and Sunaina for morning walk early, so that she can get out before MA wakes up. She also plans to delay as far as possible so that when she reaches home MA doesn't get time to talk to her, else she would run late for her classes. . Because this time she want to see him making efforts. And she is slowly starting to feel secure after seeing his behaviour since yesterday, that she is also important to him as he is to her. MA gets disappointed again on not finding her .
On the other hand, to impress Babita, Manushi comes to Ahlawat mansion early morning at 7 as asked by Babita and they both start to work. They have very limited time, they need to work fast to complete everything before tomorrow's deadline. The drama of last two days took away too much of their time and concentration.
In between the works, Manushi asks Babita.
Manushi- Aunty mujhe aapse ek baat kehni thi, if you don't mind.
Babita- Haan Manushi bolo.
Manushi- Wo kya hai na aap ne bola aap mujhe aur meri behen ko equal chance de rahe hai but is it actually fair? Mujhe galat mat samjhiye, MeetH ko toh purre 6 mahine mile aur ab v unn dono ko saath mai jyada samay milte hai. Toh equal chance toh nahi huwa na.
Babita- Hm.. I understand, but as I said , mujhe sirf mere bete ki khusi se matlab hai, I don't care ki fair hai ya nahi hai. Mai bilkul nahi chahti hi mere bete ko divorce k dukh se gujarna pare. After all maa hu uski. Par uske long term happiness k liye agar ye v karna pare, usse thora dard Dena pare, toh karungi. But agar without divorce hi mere bete ko khusi mil hi jaye toh usse achi baat kya hogi?
Dekho Manushi mai tumhari v baat samajh rahi hu, but ye v baat hai ki MeetH ko mere bete ka parwah toh hai. Chahe wo jaisi v ho, mujhe pasand na v ho, par itne dinon se ye toh pata chal gaya ki wo larki mere bete k liye kuch v kar jayegi. Isliye bas mujhe isse fark padta hai ki Mera beta kya chahta hai. Mai baas usko wo soulmate wali khusi mile ye chahti hu, na ki unke shaadi sirf doston wale rahe.Isliye maine ye challenge rakhi hai, aur tumhe v chance d hai.
Manushi(hiding her anger)-Ok aunty, jaisa aap chahe. Akhir aapke bete k zindagi happiness se bhari ho yehi toh mai v chahti hu na. Agar usko meri behen pasand aaye toh na khusi khusi mai walk out krne k liye ready hu.
Babita- Thik hai Manushi, ab mai boutique se wo samaan le kar aati hu, tum ye kaam complete kar lena.
Once Babita leaves, Manushi throws away the dress that was in her hand out of extreme anger. She couldn't not bear that even after all that she has done to remove MH out of her way, Babita too still has a soft corner for her. She once again takes out another Mentos from her purse to think of another evil idea.
This is the end of this part. As my brain was not working properly since yesterday, I am not sure about the quality of this part.
Next part- Masoom overhears about the challenge.😌
Meet Ahlawat's investigation.🧐
Ravi ko phir se padi maar😂
