Right when Deviji is about to open her trap and spew a boring tirade about Ache Pita, the phone rings. Deviji puts it on speaker:
Deviji: Haan, Kinjal. Kya hua? Sab thik Che?
Kinjal (panicking): Mummy! CA kahin nahin mil rahi. Main abhi sokar uthi aur dekha toh woh kahin nahin hai! Driver bhaiya bhi nahin jaante ki woh kahan gayi!
Deviji starts to hyperventilate and drops the phone. Anuj is speechless and shocked and panicking and is standing frozen.
Samar picks up the phone: Bhabhi aap ghabraiye nahin! Thoda idhar udhar dekhiye! Hum abhi aate hain!
Anuj starts for the door when Deviji tries to hold his hand, whispering “Anuj…..” , to gain sympathy.
Anuj jerks his hand off and turns to her with flaming eyes: Tum ek soti hui bacchi ko….. Nahin, tum MERI bacchi ko chodkar bhaagkar yahan apni “zimmedari” nibhaane chali aa gayi.
Deviji: CA meri bhi bacchi hai…
Anuj (screams and interrupts): NAHIN! Woh tumhari bacchi nahin hai. NOT. ANY. MORE.
Deviji is speechless. She has crocodile tears in her eyes and is having a panic attack.
Anuj walks up to her: Maine kaha tha tumse ki Ab main tumhare aur tumhare zimmedariyon ke beech nahin aaunga (Deviji shaking her head as Anuj is saying this “Anuj……”). Toh yahi sahi . Tum raho yahaan and apni zimmedari sambhaalo. Main apne parivar ko sambhaalta hun.
Deviji, crying: Yeh mera bhi parivar hai! Main CA ki Maa hun……
Anuj, cutting her off: Nahin ho. Tum CA ki maa nahin ho. Tum sirf Iss Pakhi ki maa ho. Toh JAAO and apni zimmedari nibhao.
Anuj starts walking to the door with Ankush, Barkha and Adhik behind him.
Deviji, holds Anuj’s hand and is on her knees: Anuj! Aisa mat kahiye!
Anuj jerks his hand off and walks away.
Deviji: Anuj! Anuj! ANUJ!
