Part twelve.
The next morning at 9 am
Jasmin almost fell from her bed after Shelly's frantic call
Read the newspaper. Nehmat on the front page.
Instantly, she ran towards the porch of her residence to collect the local press distributed by the community.
To her horror, Nehmat was praised heavily by the home minister for rescuing fire victims in a nearby village. She became the local hero. Some even tagged her a superwoman.
Praises for Advait Kapoor and his family for having such a wonderful wife and a daughter in law.
The political parties suggested Nehmat to take a stand on behalf of Kapoor family.
Nehmat advait Kapoor became the talk of town in her heroic act
He almost choked over a glass of water as he picked up the press from the dining table. He woke early as he couldn't sleep the previous night. His wife made the headlines.
So Nehmat was out yesterday doing all this. I thought she was upset with jasmine 's statement This woman is unpredictable.
Somehow he was glad that she received the honor and appreciation for her bravery. He felt as the proud husband. His name was attached to hers indirectly gaining the credit for himself as well
Nehmat Advait Kapoor.
Shamsher was still fast asleep The fact that his useless younger son was selected by Jasmin took a toll on his emotions that he stayed awake late.
Nikhil will definitely ruin everything. He was hopeless
Advait rushed to his father's room and alerted him . Shamsher couldn't believe his eyes. Nehmat took the pie. The parties suggested her name for the next election. The home minister complimented her efforts. His daughter in law saved his family's reputation.
He enquired for Nehmat and the maid explained she left early around 7am stating she would be back late. The father and son exchanged glances.
She went to the nearby village again
The happy Mrs Shamsher praised her DIL and made suji halwa for breakfast.
Numerous calls came in congratulating the family.
He tried ringing her but her phone was switched off. Perhaps she was busy. There were seventy victims who lost their homes in the fire breakout. She is working hard. Shall i go help her?
But shamsher held him back stating lots of things pending still for the campaign.
Placing fire victims to new homes was a tedious task. Seventy was a huge number. She managed to get all settled with the help of some residenta who were with her in the temple the previous day.
A flashback.
After she left the house in rhe early hours, she went straight to the gurdwara to seek peace and solace. The fact that she was not blood related to Sandhus was unbearable. The pain was deep. She needed to be all alone.
She helped to cook in the kitchen area and served the devotees. She kept herself busy so she could get away from her sorrows. At 1 pm a devotee alerted the rest about a fire breakout in rhe neighbouring village and many rushed to the scene. Nehmat tagged along.
She rescued the most number of victims risking her own life despite there were firemen at rhe scene and became the superwoman of the town. After all she was Tejo's daughter and carried her mother's selfless traits Her acts were captured in videos taken by local residents and few passer bys and viralled all over the social media with the news releasing in the press the very next day
She still wasn't aware of the news as she left early again. There were still a few victims to be placed in new temporary homes.
At noon , she received a frantic call from her grandma. The whole family is down with cold. After the pag fera, they took off to the Golden temple, Amritsar and ended up getting ill on their way back home. The winters were harsh this time.
Sati required help. She couldn't take care of everyone all alone. Shelly was hopeless.
The Randawas were annoyed with Nehmat 's news coverage and was determined for a revenge. She should not be spared. Ekam already started working on his new plan to separate his ex and Advait.
Throughout the day, he thought about her. Maybe she was a blessing in disguise for me. First, she released me from the accusations of the fake abortion and now in getting back my stand in the elections. He was pretty sure she will never agree to participate in the campaign and would pass the honor to him instead. Indirectly, he won the battle.
An hour later,
It was past lunch time and finally he received a text from her which confused him like hell that he freaked out
MAIKA!!
