TAKE 8 – Trapped
Two More Days Later
Brar Mansion
Noon
Angad’s POV
Its been a couple of intense days....
I don’t have the words to express as to how difficult it has been to act normal around Garry in the last 48 hours as though nothing has happened – when all I have wanted to do is haul him out of my life for good..and never see his betraying backstabbing face...Again...
But then – the situation demanded me to act otherwise – for we needed this time to figure things out at our end. There couldn’t be any scope for error. I most surely did not want to alert Garry in any way - that I’v been in a Sherlock Holmes mode – crafting the perfect trap for him to walk right into..with Veer, Sahiba and Seerat …helping me in on the same.
The other day post – our consensus on the same to get Garry's true face out – we all sat together to plot our plan carefully…and thankfully my brain came up with the exact idea…to lure and trap him and Jasleen bua into…
Seerat had gulped down her heartbreak whilst claiming to all that until we put our plan into motion – she’d also act all normal around Garry – staying put at the guest house – no matter how difficult it was for her.That had sent Sahiba into momentary panic for she didn’t want to leave Seerat there – but then before I could say anything to that – Veer convinced Sahiba that it was the need of the hour..our only way out to trap Garry into our plan – clueless..
Sahiba eventually gave in…to that..although she’s been quite adamant about everything else. Like – she still hasn’t returned to her home.She’s still living in her shop…seeking refuge in her art on the hours free..when we are not working towards collecting proofs for our plan.She still hasn’t been speaking much to me otherwise. Just usual chatter about our plan on the occasions I’v visited her at the shop on the last two days with Veer and she addresses most of it to Veer only directly. She also doesn’t let me hold her gaze neither does she spare me a glance…
I do continue on with my apologizing spree though at every opportunity I can…and every single time..all I get is a stony cold stare from her in return..which is okay…coz I am not expecting her to forgive me anyway…its just that I feel a little more at peace within everytime I apologize…to her..sincerly..
I’v also spent the last two days – in deep reflection otherwise personally just trying to come to terms with it all. Veer’s been my constant support – obviously…
I am right on that thought when I hear Muma’s voice in my doorway – “ angad..can I come in??”
I shut my laptop instantly at that and look up – “ yes Muma..come on in…since when do you need to ask me permission to come into my room…??”
My son’s heart is waiting for her to smile at me…now atleast. She hasn’t yet smiled at me wholeheartedly in all these days. She also isn’t still talking to me…properly.
Muma closes the door shut – and walks up to take the seat on the sofa as she exclaims – “ yeh ho kya raha hai tumhare saath..mujhe pata nai…”( I still don’t understand what is happening with you?? ??”)
I look at her – “ why?? kyun muma?aisa kya kar diya maine??”( why muma? What has happened now??”
She gapes at me puzzled the hell out of her mind – “ you are asking me why??fine I will tell you why…. despite that girl walking out of here…you’v been visiting her regularly at the shop for the last couple of days…whilst she works…plus you haven’t yet signed the annulment papers because of which…I still have to keep the pretence going to everyone around that the reason Sahiba isn’t seen around here most of the day is because she has an intense upcoming project at work…and because she is yet to shift her workshop here…she’s diligently continuing to work from where she used too…then…all because of you…I have kept all these pretend theories ready in my head…you wana hear the next one? If anyone asks me tomorrow why Sahiba isn’t here? I am going to say oh her mother is sick so she’s staying at her home for a while to look after her….what is all this happening?Angad? I just don’t get it..”
I sigh at that within. You will know soon Muma..you will know soon…like everybody else.
I answer to something different though – “ by the way…just so you know Muma…Sahiba is not staying at her home…you haven’t talked properly to me yet otherwise you would have known….from me...she didnt go home...walking outta here...”
That takes Muma by surprise momentarily – “ what do you mean?if she is not staying at her home?then…Where is she staying??”
I sigh – “ at her shop…Muma..”
Muma rolls her eyes – “what?? I am sure her shop is a tiny little space…uff this girl…hell bent upon ruining our image..what if someone spots her living out of there??”
I point out honestly – “ she’s somehow making sure that hasn’t happened yet…Muma…right??”
Muma scoffs – “ whatever…I should have just known…that girl…will continue doing things to make it difficult for us…”
I confess now holding out to touch Muma’s hand – “ Muma…it was me..whose made things difficult for Sahiba all along…especially on that night….you must not forget why she walked out…because..it was my fault…all my fault….”
Muma’s vibe turns stony at that as she sighs – “well, I still haven’t been able to digest that part of your doing through….Angad…for its ashamed me so much…”
I sigh – “ neither have I…digested it completely yet…but nonetheless I am trying to make amends…”
Muma narrows her eyes at me as if realisation strikes her – “ you’v been apologizing to her all these days? Is it? that is why you are visiting her there at the art shop..so often..??”
I nod. Well it was the part truth anyway…
Muma sighs and she says keeping her hand on my head – “ well…yes…you must apologize for that night’s misconduct yes ...you must and seek her forgiveness for the same…my son is not a coward who will not own up to his grave blunder...you are doing the right thing by apologizing...Angad..... but post that…I just want you to cut off from her .Okay?like Iv been quite puzzled…thinking..whats going on in your mind Angad right now with regards to that girl…?”
Somehow I don’t like the sound of Muma referring to Sahiba as that girl anymore. I answer softly – “ her name is Sahiba muma..can we stop referring to her as that girl..this girl...its disrespectful....”
Muma gapes at me shocked and asks away instantly – “ Okay that’s it….you tell me now….what is going on in yiur head with regards to Sahiba???Why have you not signed these annulment papers yet??isn’t this what you wanted? Isn’t this what we both wanted? Sahiba getting out of all our lives….and here she has walked out herself for good…so what are you waiting for? sign the papers and get done with this…nonsense…”
I gulp down my momentary turmoil. I don’t think I like the sound of her walking out of my anymore…
I stay quiet in thought trying to figure my inner turmlil out. I am still confused as to what is it that I am feeling within clearly..for Sahiba. Yup..there is guilt, truckloads of repentance...but then there is something else that I am unable to comprehend completely...like......could it be a case of rebound or something? My heartbroken feelings trying to latch onto the bits thats giving it some sense of peace...through Sahiba's thoughts and her essence as a person that I now see clearly...
Muma looks at me puzzled as I am gripped in this silence – “ Angad??bolo...kuch???”
But before I can say anything – we both hear Gurleen chachi’s voice come through as she smiles walking in with Veer who shot me a subtle knowing look that all was ready – “ parjayi…you are here?With Angad? Cmon…its time to go…almost..we are all ready…jasleen cannot contain her excitement…its obvious..such a nice marriage alliance has come through for Garry from one of our oldest illustrious business aquaintances…and we are about to head to meet the girl and her family now at the hotel they’v made arrangements at…”
Veer and me exchange a knowing look again. Ofcourse – there is no such wedding alliance event happening for Garry. Just a trap from our end – to have the full family present at a place – when we decide to raise the curtain from Garry’s doings.
I would have executed it at home …but then I knew…Sahiba simply doesn’t want to ever step in here again…and neither would she let Seerat come here.. given the circumstance of everyones hatred towards her…so I had to chose an alternative...spot.
Veer’s helped me arrange it all.
And guess another bit we discovered while we weaved this trap? That Garry’s simply one of the sickest man – for he has happily been gloating about this alliance – (because the pictures that were shared off the hyptothetical girl in context is off a hot shot supermodel from Mumbai) - where as on the other hand he had just been playing with both Seerat and that reporter….until two days ago..
Before me or Veer can say anything to continue playing along - Muma rolls her eyes at Gurleen chachi and scowls – “ well, Jasleen’s only excited because she wants to give it back to me…with the look…my future bahu will be from our strata of the society parjayi…not like your’s from shimplapuri…given that I am stuck with this mess of a situation with that girl/Angad…hanging in the middle …”
I sigh – “ Muma….please…what did I just say?why call her that girl again??? Her name is Sahiba….”
Muma glares at me at that – and right then we all hear Daar ji and Bebe’s voice call out to us and we all head out – now. Veer shoots me a subtle thumbs up which I acknowledge with a nod instantly.
Now as we all heading down the stairs – I think it is better to check with Sahiba if she and Seerat will be there on time. I do have Sahiba’s number but I have never texted her before…this will be the first time..
Me : suno sahiba…time pe pahunch jaogi na tum?( listen..sahiba…you will reach on time..right??
My phone beeps with her text.
Sahiba : ji…aap kaun?sorry maine number nai pehchana…aapka…yeh kya shaam ki painting delivery ke baare mein hain?sab ready hai...aap chinta mat kariye...delivery time pe ho jaayegi...(ji…who is this? I am sorry…I did not recognize your number…is this about the delivery about the painting this evening?dont worry...all is ready...the painting will be delivered on time...)
Despite my head being in an overdrive due to the upcoming plan – I smile – because of Sahiba’s polite way of starting with.. Ji aap kaun. I am also aware the minute I tell her it is me – that tone on text will change..
Me : ab bhi pati hun tumhara…sahiba…chahe naam ka hi sahi…number toh save karliya hota mera…( I am still your husband..Sahiba..even if its for name sake…the least you could have done is saved my number…)
I wait for her reply. Comes after ten seconds..
Her : koi pati wati nai ho tum mere…angad…naam ke bhi nai…annulment papers mein sign kar chuki hun…yeh mat bhulna kabhi…( you are not my husband..not even for the name sake…I’v signed the annulment papers ..remember?)
I sigh.
Me : sahiba…please?
Her : tumne mujhe message kyun kiya?( why did you message me??)
Me : look all I want to know is If you two will be there on time?for now?k? You have to be there hidden in your spot before we arrive...we are all just leaving from here in 2 minutes …you know…today is a very important day for me…
My phone beeps.
Her : We will be there on time – don’t you worry. It’s a big day for us too…angad…we will act as per our plan dont you worry...
I sigh in relief at that and just then Muma asks me puzzled as we reach down the stairs as to who I was texting and I put my phone away for now in my pocket now and walk over to join everyone in the hallway – smiling – the sight of Garry’s + Jasleen bua’s grinning face sending disgust rushing all through me – which I control with great difficulty just nodding at Veer – who reminds me to not blow my cover yet…given that we were just heading into the face off – anyway….
I run through our plan again in my head determined. I got a major part to play today. I have to ace it. Just like I know Veer / Sahiba / Seerat will ace there’s….as well…
…………………………………………….
At The Hotel – Nearing A Small Private Banquet Studio Space which accommodates – 20 people
Jasleen Bewaja was over the moon – in the moment as she walked the hallway of this familiar 5 star luxurious hotel with the rest of the Brar clan – beaming at her son – Garry by her side.
The bit that had just sent her over her trip to the moon – was obviously the scowling look she could spot on Manbir Parjayi’s face in the moment + the happening that it was finally her precious Garry who was about to meet and probably marry – into one of the most illustrious families in Mumbai. The Manchandani’s had been the Brar business associates for decades now – housing a lot of their jewellery collection in their own jewellry boutiques in Mumbai. As Daar ji would always say – the Brar’s collaboration with Manchandani’s was a strategic one.
So when two days ago, Daar ji received the call from Mr.Mohan Manchandani – Sameera’s dad – in showing interest in Garry for alliance for their daughter given that they’d been impressed by his aura at Angad’s reception had simply elated Jasleen to her very core.
For wasn’t it just that evening prior when she was thinking about how to stop Garry’s careless means with his numerous girlfriends post having heard a female’s voice around him…
And well to her luck, this news had come right in time. Thankfully, for her, she didn’t have to do much to convince Garry to go through this meeting because – well – Garry was immediately smitten by seeing Sameera’s picture. (She had been absent during Angad’s reception due to her prior work commitment but was now more than glad to come down to Ludhiana to meet Garry on her parent’s assistance…)
Infact, for once, Jasleen had feared when this Rishta came that Daar ji would shift the meeting around etc due to all the Hungama happening around Angad. Her parents, gurleen parjayi, veer – were some of the only few in the family who were still coming around to terms with Angad’s doing and Sahiba’s departure..not that she cared one bit about any of it all…herself..
Angad was miserable. She raised a toast to that everyday..
But for once – she was totally glad that her parents thought off going through with this immediately – even if it was more out of her father’s wish of wanting to continue showing to all in the society that all was normal around in the Brar’s house – for the news of Sahiba walking out had unfortunately ( for her and Garry)still remained under the covers…
She was right on that thought – when she hears Angad say to her in his usual polite tone – “ bua…aayie na…idhar…aap sabse pehle aayie…daar ji aur bebe ke saath…lift ke andar..phir hum sab aate hain…”( bua…come on…in…inside…first with daarji and bebe…in the lift..then we will all come in…)
Jasleen smiles at that returning to the present and walks right in and Garry walks in right behind her alongside Veer – who was simply being his mischevious self all this while – pulling Garry’s leg as a probable to be soon – groom…
Once, Daarji, Bebe, Garry, Veer, Angad, Manbir parjayi and gurleen were in the elevator along with Jasleen – she says to Angad as the door of the lift closed – “ Angad…really…I do appreciate you doing so much for Garry…being a part of this monumental day for him…despite all the low’s you’v been facing within off late…,”and watches Garry happily pat Angad's shoulder as he says – “ really…Mom is right…Angad…yeh toh tune kamal kar diya…”( this is great on your behalf…)
Angad keeps up with the façade as he nods at Jasleen bua and Garry posing his sweetest smile – “ arre bua..garry…yeh toh good news haina…toh phir kyun na main khush hun garry ke liye…usne bhi toh hamesha mera bhala hi socha hai..meri khushi mein hamesha participate kiya hai pure dil se…toh ab meri baari…”( arre bua…garry…this is good news right? so why I shouldn’t be happy for Garry? When he’s been one of my ardent well wisher and always been the happiest in my happiness…so its my turn..) – and as he finishes saying this bit – he sees his mother gape at him in confusion as she scowls at Jasleen hard and Veer just shoots him a subtle knowing look.
Jasleen and Garry exchange a vicious subtle grin that went on the line off – haha these fools only if they knew the truth…
Jasleen adds smiling – “ daar ji…this is true…though…bebe…my garry has been angad’s biggest ally..his best brother…,”she adds shooting a sarcastic look at Gurleen and Veer – “ you can say….”
Veer smiles and keeps up with the façade as well – “ ji haan…bilkul jasleen bua…aapne sach kaha…garry toh angad ke liye..laxman jaisa…hai…toh main bharat jaisa…arre yeh lift kab uppar pahunche gi…ab mujhe bhi excitement hai sammera parjayi se milne ka…kyun Garry…sahi kaha na maine..sameera parjayi..,”he nudges Garry – at that who smiles back at him - happily.( yes yes…indeed…jasleen bua you are right…garry is like laxman for angad paaji and I am like bharat…oh when will this lift reach up..I cannot wait to meet sameera parjaayi…I said the right thing..didn’t i? Garry …sameera parjayi…”)
Manbir continues to look at Angad puzzled though as the elevator hits the designated floor and Gurleen steps out first – saying to all – “ dekho ji…prabhjyot…prince…ekam…kiara…..inder paaji…baaki sab…bhi aa gaye..dusri lift se..chalo ji chalo…”( see…prabhjyot..prince..jijaji…ekam..kiara…inder paaji…all have also arrived from the other lift…)
Everyone begins getting out at that and once they get together in a happy group and begin walking towards the private studio - Angad and Veer – share a last long knowing look – because they knew that everyone was stepping in the studio smiling but obviously that scene was set to change on their way out…eventually…
Angad knew his family would be devastated with the truth+ Garry’s betrayal + Jasleen buas backstabbing – but what had to be done simply had to be done…
……………………………………
Garry Baweja was all smiles – as he walked along with everyone in the center. He was the to be groom this time – right? Oh how glad he was that this alliance had come through for two reasons. One – being that – Sameera was stunning and drop dead gorgeous and second – being that he had full plans to use this alliance as a way to get rid of Seeirat for good…
He was going to tell Seerat that his family was nudging him to marry another and for the time being he just had to oblige…given the tricky situation around her and her family.
And incase Seerat tried to threaten him with the truth – he had the full plan set to turn the tables around at her holding her at the center of the blame all together…by assassinating her character and telling all that she was the one aiming to seduce him all along..and when unsuccessful she’s now trying to blame him…trap him..etc etc…
He had all his cunning plans set in his head….
Anyways,now was not the time to think of that headache Seerat - Garry - thinks in his head – now was the time to admire Sameera for the gorgeous beauty she was.
The hotel staff around the banquet tells them all to get into the private studio now smilingly – and Garry happily follows all…
……………………………………………….
Confusion.
Deep confusion clouds everyone in the attendance as they step into the small private banquet studio…
Why?
Because, no one can spot anybody…in here…
Yes, the banquet studio was arranged neatly with seating arrangements at a long center table…with decorated floral pieces..but the point was that there was no sign of the Manchandani’s at all…the space was empty...
Daar ji looks at Bebe and Bebe asks puzzled – “ brar saab..yeh kya?aapne toh kaha tha…ki manchandani saab ka message aaya paanch minute pehle message aaya ki woh pahunch aggaye…hai…hamari wait kar rahe hai…”( what is this brar saab? You were saying that…manchandani saam messaged that him, his wife and sameera are already here…waiting for us..where are they??”)
Daar saab looks into his phone – “ haa ji…message toh aaya tha…”( yes yes…they did message…)
Veer and Angad exchange a knowing look that – now was the time to set their plan in action..
Garry is watching Jasleen puzzled and mostly everyone else also watches on puzzled and Jasleen scowls as she hears Manbeer parjayi say now with a sly smile – “ koi baat nai jasleen…yeh toh ladki walon ka naya rule hi ban gaya hai..ladke walon ko wait karana…”( no worries Jasleen…seems like it has become a new rule for the girls’s side to keep the boy’s side waiting…)
Jasleen scowls and answers back – “ yeh..manchandaani’s hai manbir parjayi..woh shimlapuri ke dhokebaaz monga’s nahi…”( we are talking about the manchandanni’s parjayi..not shimlapuri’s betrayers monga’s..)
Manbir is just about to answer back when Daar ji holds his hand up to all – “ chup karo..manbeer..jasleen…yahan bhi shuru hogaye..”( quiet…manbeer jasleen…you both started here too…)
Angad says now putting his plan in motion pretending to have got some heads up on it from the hotel staff – “ arre…aap sab relax karo na…chalo baithte hai..maine hotel staff se check kiya…unhone kaha..manchandaani’s yahi the…hamari wait kar rahe the…just went to freshen up thinking…that it will take us a couple of more minutes…”( arre…you all relax…I just checked with the hotel staff..they saying…the manchandani’s were here only…waiting for us…just went to freshen up..i guess..thinking it will take us a while longer…)
Veer chips in from his end now – “ arre…tab tak hum sab baith jaate hai na..khade kyun rehna…dekho na..kitna acha intezaam karaya hai unn logo ne…table pe floral decoration toh dekho..”( arre…till then let us all sit down…why keep standing? See the arrangements these people made…are so good…look at the wow floral decoration in the center of the table…)
Everyone nods at that exchanging subtle puzzled looks but begins to take their seat..
Jasleen eyes Garry to take his seat right next to her and Garry follows…puzzled..
Daar ji whispers to bebe as he takes his seat right in the front – “ kaash…jabjot..kaash…sahiba yahan hoti aaj hum sab ke saath…uski kami khal rahi hai mujhe jabjot...”( I wish…I so wish sahiba would be there by our side…today jabjot right now…I really miss her presence...)
Bebe sighs – “ kaash…main samjh sakti hun brar saab…par joh uske saath hua na…woh bhi toh sahi nai haina…main bhi toh ek aurat hoon…samjhti hun…haan…angad…maafi mange mein laga hai…par kuch zakhm gehre hote hai brar saab..unhe bharne ke liye waqt chahiye hota hai…aur..yeh hum kaise bhool jaaye..ki iss waqt angad aur sahiba apni jagah bass toote hi hue hai….”( yes…brar saab…I know what you mean…I understand what you saying…but whatever happened with her was not right at all…I am a woman too…I get it…yes..angad’s sincerely repenting trying to make amends..but certain wounds are very deep brar saab…they take a long time to heal…and how can we both forget that at this time…angad and sahiba are both simply broken and shattered in their own respective positions…)
Daar ji nods and just as he is about to say something he hears his son Inder exclaim to all restless and scowling – “ arre poore teen minute hogaye…humhe yahan baithe…yeh log hai kahan…”( aree..we have been seated here for three minutes…where are these people…)
Everyone begins to hustle bustle and muster amongst themselves…
At the moment – Angad’s just taken his seat right opposite Garry and Jasleen. Veer’s sat next to him and clutched on his elbow in support.
Angad takes a deep breathe now...
This was it. The moment of truth...
Angad poses his best fake smile to his father as he says to all – “ arre papa…relax…kariye..aate honge woh sab…chaliye…tab tak hum sab hi aapas mein kuch baatein karlein…”( relax…papa…they will be here any minute…whilst we wait..why not we all only talk amongst ourselves…)
Everyone looks at Angad puzzled – very puzzled in the moment – but nods with one another - again.
Angad leans back in his seat now and looks straight up and smiles at his Jasleen bua – “ toh haan…bua…woh lift main kya keh rahi thi aap….garry mera best brother hai…mera kitna dhyan rakhta hai…meri khushi mein kitna khush rehta hai…haina garry…kitna pyaar karta hai na tu mujhe….??”( so…what were you saying bua in the lift? That garry is like my best cousin bro…loves me so much..is so concerned of my well being…he is the happiest…in my well being…right? Garry?? You love me so much…?)
Jasleen nods smiling – “ haan angad..”
Garry nods as well exchanging a look with Jasleen – “ haan angad…bro….I am your best bro...I am the happiest ...in your wellbeing...out of us cousins...i love you the most...”
Angad gulps down his anger within and keeps the facade going and he finally gets up his spot at that and walks around towards Garry smilingly even though the moment was so heavy to execute within in pretence – “ arre...wahhhh...dil chu liya tune...mera....aa gale lag jaa…mere bhai isi baat pe…”(wow....that statement touched my heart bro...come bro…just hug me on this bit…)
Garry shoots Angad a puzzled look as does everyone else in the banquet as they see Angad walking towards Garry as he said that part with the happiest brother grin on his face – and everyone is so puzzled in exchanging confusing looks with one another wondering what was up with Angad? - that only Gurleen notices that Veer just getured Ekam to take prince out momentarily asking her to give him her phone to be occupied and as ekam took prince out nodding at her bro in confusion nonetheless...the hotel staff subtly just closed the banquet door shut – and as Gurleen now spots Veer shooting a thumbs up to the hotel staff – she looks at Veer puzzled as she whispers in his ears – “ Veer…yeh in logon ne darwaza kyun band kar diya? Manchandani’s andar kaise aayenge? Aur ekam aur peince bhi?Tune bola unhe band karne ko?kyun??”( Veer..why did these hotel staff people just close the door shut haan??how will the manchandani’s step in?and even ekam and prince?and you asked the staff to close the door?why???”)
Veer sighs and finally shoots his mother the most serious look he’s ever shooted asking her to just let it be. Gurleen is super confused but nods at Veer deep in thought…
Everyone in the room smiles though through their confusion as they see Angad embrace Garry now – who’d stood up to hug Angad too smiling.
Everyone now see’s Angad wrap his arm around Garry’s shoulder at that as he finally exclaims to all – “ bilkul sahi kaha…garry ne…daar ji..bebe…muma…papa…jasleen bua…gurleen chachi..chachaji…prabhjyot bua…fufa..ab sab suno..…he’s right…Garry is absolutely right when he says…he loves me the most…”
And as everyone especially Manbir looks at Angad puzzled – with Garry gloating within himself feeling like what a fool you are angad…etc etc just like Jasleen is next to him – Angad finally takes the façade off his smile and the cover up on his painfully anguished eyes to all as he states out all looking sideways at Garry first before looking at all again and everyone is wondering why the sudden change in Angads expression as his faces twiches and clouds in pain and anguish for all to see as he says out loud – “ yes… itna pyaar karta hai garry mujhe…itna…ki jaise koi apne sabse bade dushman se karta ho…infact itna pyaar karta hai garry mujhe ki sirf isne mere seene mein aur peeth mein bhi… hamesha khanjar hi bhoke hai…itna pyaar karta hai garry mujhe…ki meri mangetar ko…usne apne jhoote pyaar ke jaal mein fasaya sirf mujhse badla lene ke liye…mujhe chot pahunchane ke liye…itna pyaar karta hai garry mujhe…ki meri hi peeth peeche…meri hi Dulhan ho…vyah ke mandap se..bhaga liya isne….haina…garry sahi kaha na maine? Itna hi pyaar karta hai na tu mujhse???”( yes…garry loves me so much…he loves me so much just like an enemy loves…he loves me so much that he’s always stabbed me in my back and heart…yes…garry loves me so much…that he got my fiancé stuck in his false weave of love in order to take some sort of revenge from me and hurt me….garry loves me so much…that…he conspired against my back..under my very own nose...eloped with my bride to be…on my wedding day….am I right?Garry? this is exactly how much you love me???)
THAT FROM ANGAD – OBVIOUSLY – TURNS GARRY BAWEJA INTO A WHITE SHOCKED GHOST…
AND JASLEEN INTO A GHOSTED SHOCKED – STATUE!!!!!!
Garry’s first panicked thought within is – how did Angad even know all of this? He gapes at Angad – shocked and stunned – too taken aback to come up with words to say anything instantly…
SILENCE.
A STUNNED HEAVY SILENCE ENGULFS THE ROOM…AS ANGAD’S WORDS RING IN EVERYONE EARS……as they all individually become pale faced – gaping at Angad – shocked and stunned…
Daar ji is zapped his eyes widened in horror like never before…as is Bebe’s and everyone’s else as the realise the heavy backstabbing weight of the allegation Angad had just put on Garry…
Gurleen looks at Veer aghast as if to reconfirm what they’d all heard and once she sees Veer nod at her sadly – her heart breaks – for Angad…it truly does break hard…just like everyone else’s who’s noticed Veer just nod back at his mother…reconfirming Angad's allegation..
Daar ji, bebe, inder, manbeer...prabhjoyt…everyone else in the room…is FROZEN TO THEIR SEATS IN COLLECTIVE HORROR…
STormed and wrecked as if - Manbeer boils as she is the first one to stands up in her spot – “ Angad…yeh tu kya keh raha hai??”(Angad??????what did you just say??)
At finally seeing Manbeer parjayi boil this way Jasleen finally gains her senses and stands up furious gaping at Angad – “ angad…yeh kya ghatiya ilzaam laga rahe ho tum mere garry pe…yeh…aur uss shimlapuri….seerat ke saath?? Aisa kabhi ho hi nai sakta…aur yeh koi waqt hai in sab baaton ka….manchandani’s aane wale honge…”( angad..what disgusting allegation you are putting on my garry….him and that disgusting shimlapuri’s seerat…??no way…and is this the time? Manchandani’s will come in…any minute now…)
Angad finally gestures Veer with his cue and Veer gets up from his spot now – as Angad continues to glare at Garry furious keeping him rooted to his spot standing with his hand hard on his shoulder in a gesture that says – don’t even think off escaping Garry....for you are freaking trapped ….
Garry can only gape at Angad in stunned shock still not knowing how to recover from this hit off a boulder all of a sudden. Usually, he’s always had heads up to plan and plot and come up with a story…but somehow right now his head was shut down in shock as to how did Angad even figure all this out??????? He somehow manages to muster to all in his defence – “ angad…teri tabiyat toh thik haina? Yeh kya bol raha hai??chal baith jaa…manchandaani’s aate honge…( are you feeling well…angad?what you saying??just sit down..manchaandani’s will come in any minute now…)
And at that Veer finally stands up and roars out loud to all smashing his fist on the table taking everyone by surprise for they’d never seen Veer this angry ever – “ bass….garry bass…ab tu chup karle..bass…nai toh mujhse bura koi hoga hi nai…kitna besharam hai tu…aaj sabko batata hun main…”( enough…garry..enough….just shut up now…otherwise no one will be worse than me…you are so disgusting and shameful – and the tale of it all…I will tell everyone…)
Everyone looks at Veer and Angad in continued shades of horror and disbelief as they hear Veer continue now glaring at Garry his eyes bloodshot just like Angad’s bloodshot furious eyes were glaring at Garry sideways – “ aur bata dun…main sabko…koi manchandaani’s nai aane wale yahan…yeh toh paaji aur mera plan tha…garry ko trap karne ka aise aap sabke saamne….sorry daarji…woh maine..hi awaz badal ke..naye number se..manchandani uncle ki acting karke aapko phone kiya tha….aur iss jhoothe rishte ka khel rachaya…”( and let me also tell you all…that no manchandaani’s are coming here..this was all angad paaji’s and my plan to trap garry in front of you all…sorry daar ji….it was me..who disguised my voice…and called from a private new number…as manchandaani uncle and played the whole drama of this rishta’s façade for Garry…)
Just as those words leave Veer’s mouth – everyone’s jaws drop even more horrified now as they exchange a horrified look with one another…
Jasleen’s insides go into panic mode now as she eyes Garry who was still standing stunned at the accusing glance of all – “ garry…bol…apni safai mein…bol..bata inhe…ki tune aisa kuch nai kiya…”( garry …tell…them…all in your defence…that you never did any of this…)
Garry finally looks at all finding his words trying to get Angad’s angry hold off him – “ maine…aisa…kuch nai kiya…yeh angad…pagal hogaya hai..apne dukh mein..seerat bhag gayi..sahiba ghar chod gayi…yeh pagal hogaya hai…mujh pe…itna ghatiya..ilzaam laga raha hai…”( I didn’t do any of this everyone…this angad has lost it in sadness and heartbreak…seerat left him…then sahiba left the house…he’s simply lost it…putting this disgusting accusation at me…”)
Angad sneers hard now – glaring at Garry – “ acha…really? itna ghatiya ilzzamm…meri ilzaam ko ghatiya kahoge…toh apni harkaton ko kya kahoge…garrry?haan?ghatiya shabd toh bahut chotta padta hai uske aage...shayad..” ( oh really? Garry? Calling my accusation disgusting…then what term will you use…for your deeds haan??even the word disgust falls short in comparioson to your deeds actually...)
Kiara’s on the mode of inner panic too looking at her mother Jasleen..whose…face is all ghostly…pale still. Kiara couldn't believe what's happening..she couldn't comprehend..her fear.. within...has angad paaji found out about her lies? About the designs at work???
Flustred - Garry tries to get Angad’s hand off his shoulder as he says – “ get your hands off me…now…Angad…”
Angad doesn’t let go – instead grips his hand stronger on Garry’s shoulder and he eyes Veer giving him his cue – “ Veer…projector down kar…abhi…”( time for the projector…Veer…)
Veer nods and takes a remote out of his pocket to get the projector down and everyone looks at Veer in continued shades of stunned disbelief as he states to all exchanging a angry glare with Angad across as they both look at Garry accusation so heavy in their eyes – “ pata tha…Garry..we knew it…that you’d never own up..to your deeds yourself…so you thought we’d come here without proof haan?....oh…yes we were all fooled by you for a bit…but not anymore…not any more..not even for a single second more…there comes a life in everyone’s lives when they fall into their own trap of evils…and that time for you has come…now….”
And at that Veer – finally plays the video on the projector for everyone to see.
Everyone literally grips onto the others hand in intense shock and disbelief and more intensified shades of horror - as the see – the video on screen play with various bytes off what seems like the CCTV footage from the wedding resort – where in Garry is seen talking to Seerat cozily in one corner to begin within – in another byte – he is seen with her stepping into what seems like would be Seerat’s room – and then there is a video byte…off him driving off with Seerat from a traffic light signal’s cctv footage near the wedding resort – and all of these video bytes are followed up with the video cctv bytes and sight off him – checking into the guest house with Seerat on the wedding day – the time and date clear on the CCTV data on screen – and then it is followed with cctv video bytes of him going in and out from the guest house – in all these days….and last…comes up the pictures of Garry embracing Seerat outside the guest house…( the pictures the PI had shared with Angad….)
PIN.
DROP.
HORRIFIC.
PETRIFIED.
SILENCE – ENGULFS THE Room now as everyone’s just gaping at the projector is shock. Manbir is the version off the hottest volcano on earth…within…Inder is boiling in rage too as is Gurleen and chachaji…prabhjyot and her husband looking on in disbelief At Garry – along with everyone else…
Prabhjyot is glad that prince is not there to see this and is out with ekam...her head connecting the dots that Veer and Angad planned to have prince taken out just in time...
And Daar ji and Bebe are trembling in fury so much whilst watching it all – glaring at Jasleen and Garry – that it seems to all as if Daar ji could burn the whole of Ludhiana down in anger….
And as Garry Baweja looks at the sight on the projector off his own recordings with Seerat – it finally hits him hard that he was indeed - Trapped in front of all. His mother was glaring at him with furious bloodshot eyes – given that even she’d had no idea about this act of his…
Garry feels like he had to think of something..say something..he finally thinks of playing a goner in love as he finally looks at all dejected and gets Angad’s angry hand off his shoulder – as he exclaims to all even though there was no truth in it – “ haan haan….bhaga tha main…seerat ko leke…haan…bhaga tha main hi seerat ko leke….kya karta main…aap log hi batayie…ho gaya…tha…seerat se pyaar mujhe…aur usse bhi…nai dekh sakta tha main hote hue uski shaadi angad se….ya kisi aur se..mujhe bhi woh day 1 se padand thi...”( yes yes…I ran away with Seerat…everyone…I only ran away with her…but what could I do you all tell me? I fell in love with her…just like she did…and I couldn’t see her getting married to Angad or anyone else...…for that matter...i always liked her from day 1...”)
And just as those words leave Garry’s mouth – Jasleen’s hand goes to cover her mouth in super intense horrific gasp.Did Garry just say what he did?Confessed what he did??
Everyone’s stunned in silence as Angad exchanges a heartbreaking look with his parents across who had tears running down their faces hard now as did Bebe and gurleen chachi – AND TO EVERYONE’S COLLECTIVE FURTHER SHOCK NOW – THEY NOW HEAR A VOICE BEHIND THEM - A VOICE THEY THOUGHT THEY’D NEVER HEAR AGAIN CLAIM AND ASK GARRY – “ really? Garry? Itna hi pyaar tha mujhse day 1 se…toh phir tum kyun mujhe…nancy ke saath…two time kar rahe the???mujhpe cheat kar rahe the? Mujhe guest house mein band rakh ke…kya kar rahe the tum iske saath??”( really Garry?? If you loved me so much??? Then what the hell were you doing two timing/cheating over me with Nancy here…keeping me hidden away at the guest house…what the hell were you doing with her??”
And at that – simply petrified – in their seats everyone looks behind to see - Seerat steeping out from little side zone of this hall which was the service area - standing right there in front off them all with none other than Sahiba to her side and a lady they all recognised as the media reporter – they’d all been seeing a lot lately…around their house/events..
No body moved an inch….
How could they?? They were simply frozen in horror...never expecting to see - Seerat here.
And Garrys frozen in horror too as he simply cannot beelive as to how Seerat upstaged him in this whilst pretending to be all normal until this morning...when she surely was a part of this plan to bring him down? Once again he's speechless in shock trying to figure out how did any of this even happen...he was the cleverest/ cunningest of the lot...how did these people upstage him????
Now - seeing Garry frozen in shock -as everyone also took in the sight off Sahiba, Seerat and Nancy - Angad nods at Veer again and Veer goes onto press a button to display the next set of pictures and video on screen off Garry up close and cozy with Nancy now….starting from the one…the PI had shared with them that day and the rest…that Seerat and Sahiba had managed to collect from nancy( in the last couple of days)…taking her in confidence…by showing her evidence that Garry was simply playing with her just like he had been playing with Seerat….
And just like that – Garry Baweja’s body tremored like never before – his face still all ghostly white – as it hit him over and over again as he spotted Seerat and Nancy glare at him from upfront – that for the first time ever in his life – he had legit been trapped in a trap he had no inkling about..from prior...he also had no idea how to escape this...trap..
Everyone continue to gape at Seerat shocked and frazzled remembering their anger at her as well and Seerat finally gathers musters the courage to say to all – as Sahiba’s hold’s her shoulder - “mujhe pata hai aap sab mujhse nafrat karte hai…karni bhi chahiye….meri harkat hi aisi thi…par ab main batati hun aap sabko…ke sab sach hai kya…ab waqt agaya hai…aap meri side of the story bhi sun le…meri bhi galti hai…bilkul hai….main akele garry ko dosh nai deti…isne mujhe bewakoof banaya aur main ban gayi…par ab aur nai…aur nai…”( I know you all hate me…and rightly so…my deed was such…but that is not going to stop me from bringing the truth out to all…I want you all to know my side of the story too…he used me like a pawn to take his revenge against angad…but I was consensually a part of it…I will not play victim here and only blame him…but yes…he can’t make a fool out of him anymore…)
And at that finally as everyone looks at her aghast, petrified, hurt – Seerat Kaur Monga finally begins to relay her side of the story in complete detail to all as to when it all started/how with Garry….
And only pin drop – shocking – horrific vibe continued to fill the air as everyone heard Seerat talk..with tears of betrayal and horror streaming down everyone’s face…with Daar ji’s fist fisted on him in anger like never before…his fury now reaching to a level that could burn all of punjab down..
Jasleen felt her heart sink – her insides fume and rage as she realised the intensity of the trap – Angad had laid out for her son – who simply was standing white-washed/ghostly pale - tangled and trapped amidst it all.She knew she couldn’t save him from this moment…in front of all…unfortunately his cover had been blown...so her cunning brain began to cocoon a plan to save herself in the moment – nonetheless planning to blame her own son as the main culprit..
She thought one of them had to be saved….atleast one of them…and here…Jasleen’s mind was cooking up a plan to save both herself and kiara– but little did she know – that Angad Singh Brar had already seen the side of her she wanted to hide…
Little did Jasleen Baweja know in that moment…that she was next in line…to get exposed…anyway…
…………………
