Part 3 – Kitabein Bahut Si
The next morning...
The newspapers were filled with photographs from Shubh's charity gala.
One picture, in particular, caught everyone's attention.
It was of Aparajita (Appu) and Lalon dancing together to the song:
Yeh kaali kaali aankhen
Yeh gore gore gaal
Yeh teekhi teekhi nazren
Yeh hirni jaisi chaal
Yeh Kaali Kaali Aankhen
Yeh gore gore gaal
Yeh teekhi teekhi nazren
Yeh hirni jaisi chaal..,
Dekha jo tujhe jaanam...,
Hua hai bura haal...
Yeh Kaali Kaali Aankhen
Yeh gore gore gaal
Yeh teekhi teekhi nazren
Yeh hirni jaisi chaal.

Both shared an eyelock.
Main mila
tu mili
Hey tu mili
main mila
Main mila tu mili Tu mili main mila
Duniya jale to jale,
Pyaar karenge tujhpe marenge
Dhak dhak dil yeh kare
ha,
Uf teri. dillagi
dil ko jalaane lagi.
Dilruba. tu mujhe
nakhare dikhaane lagi.
Gairon ki. baahon mein
ithla ke jaane lagi
Yeh teri. berukhi
mujhko sataane lagi
Chhodo ji chhodo sanam
Zid apni chhodo sanam
Nazuk hai dil yeh mera
Dil ko na todo sanam X2
Yeh lambi lambi raaten
Aa kar le mulakatein
Jaane kyon dil yeh mera
Tera hi hona chaahe
Gusse mein laal na kar
Yeh gore gore gaal

Yeh kaali kaali aankhen
Yeh gore gore gaal
Yeh teekhi teekhi nazren
Yeh hirni jaisi chaal
Yeh Kaali Kaali Aankhen
Yeh gore gore gaal
Yeh teekhi teekhi nazren
Yeh hirni jaisi chaal..,
Dekha jo tujhe jaanam...,
Hua hai bura haal...
Yeh Kaali Kaali Aankhen
Yeh gore gore gaal
Yeh teekhi teekhi nazren
Yeh hirni jaisi chaal.

🎺🎺🎺🎷🎷🎺🎺🎺
Na tu kar khatpat
Kar pyaar jhatpat
Mere aaja tu nikat
Kaat pyaar ka ticket
Na tu julfein jhatak Na tu pair patak
Arre aise na matak, dil gaya hai bhatak

Chehare pe. tere sanam
Laila ki hain shokhiyan.
Heer se. badh ke hain
Aankhon ki yeh mastiyan.
Juliet. ki tarah
Hothon pe hain surkhiyan
Dekh le. khud ko tu
Nazar se meri jaan-e-jaan
Dekhi jo teri adaa
Main fidaa ho gaya
Seene se lag ja zara
Jeene ka aaye maza...X2
Yeh bikhari bikhari zulfen
Yeh jhuki jhuki palken
Yeh gori gori baahen
Hum kyun na tumhe chaahen
Aisa to humne pehale
Dekha nahin kamal...

Yeh gore gore gaal
Yeh teekhi teekhi nazren
Yeh hirni jaisi chaal
Yeh Kaali Kaali Aankhen
Yeh gore gore gaal
Yeh teekhi teekhi nazren
Yeh hirni jaisi chaal
At breakfast...
Appu looked at the newspaper and smiled shyly.
Kajol noticed.
Kajol: Now tell me, who is smiling?
Appu: And you tell me who is teasing?
Just then, Shubh entered.
He glanced at the photograph.
Shubh: "This young man has confidence. I like him."
Appu looked down, trying to hide her happiness.
Shubh continued,
Shubh: "I've invited him to our house this evening."
Appu almost dropped her coffee cup.
Meanwhile...
Lalon sat in his office, studying files related to S.S. Group of Industries.
His trusted assistant entered.
Assistant: "Sir, we've found evidence that Shubh still has a few shell companies operating under fake names."
Lalon smiled.
Lalon: "Good."
He closed the file.
Lalon: "But we won't expose him yet."
Assistant: "Why not?"
Lalon looked out the window.
Lalon: "Because before a game ends... every player must believe they're winning."
Later...
Kajol visited her old college to inaugurate a new library funded by the Shubh Foundation.
Students crowded around her.
Books, laughter, and excitement filled the campus.
As she walked through the library, she suddenly heard a familiar voice.
Lalon: "I didn't expect to find the chief guest reading instead of giving interviews."
She turned around.
Appu: "Mr. Lalon?"
He smiled.
Lalon: "The college management invited me. They've asked me to sponsor a business innovation program."
Appu: "Looks like we're guests at the same event."

At that moment, Ravi joined them.
Ravi: "Well, this is a surprise!"
The three soon found themselves chatting comfortably.
Students nearby whispered excitedly.
"They look like old friends already."
The cultural club announced a surprise musical performance.
The students asked Appu, Ravi, and Lalon to participate in a fun interaction.
Laughter echoed through the library corridors as the music began.
Kitaben bahut si padhi hongi tumne
Magar koi chehra bhi tumne padha hai
Padha hai meri jaan nazar se padha hai
Bata, mere chehre pe kya-kya likha hai?
Kitaben bahut si padhi hongi tumne
Magar koi chehra bhi tumne padha hai
Padha hai meri jaan nazar se padha hai
Bata, mere chehre pe kya-kya likha hai?

Lalon reads the book. Appu distracts him
Umange likhi hain, jawaani likhi hai
Tere dil ki saari kahaani likhi hai
Ho.. umange likhi hain,
jawaani likhi hai
Tere dil ki saari kahaani likhi hai
Kahin haal-e-dil bhi sunaata hai chehra
Na bolo to phir bhi bataata hai chehra
Yeh chehra haqikat mein ek aaina hai
Bata, mere chehre pe kya-kya likha hai?
Kitaben bahut si padhi hongi tumne
Magar koi chehra bhi tumne padha hai
Padha hai meri jaan nazar se padha hai
Bata, mere chehre pe kya-kya likha hai?

La la la.. la la la
Both of them jive
Agar hum kahen hamko ulfat nahi hai
Kahogi bhi kaise mohabbat nahi hai?
Agar hum kahen hamko ulfat nahin hai
Kahogi bhi kaise mohabbat nahi hai?
Bade aaye chehre pe yeh marne wale
Dikhaawe ka aise wafaa karne wale
Dikhaawa nahi, pyar ki intehaa hai
Bata, mere chehre pe kya-kya likha hai?
Kitaben bahut si padhi hongi tumne
Magar koi chehra bhi tumne padha hai
Padha hai meri jaan nazar se padha hai
Bata, mere chehre pe kya-kya likha hai?

The song unfolded across the college campus.
Students playfully surrounded the trio with stacks of books.
Lalon and Appu exchanged witty remarks as they searched the shelves.
Whenever Appu reached for a book on a high shelf, Lalon quietly helped her.
She thanked him with a smile.
Ravi joined in the fun, making everyone laugh with his jokes.
Kajol, who had arrived later to pick up Appu, watched the cheerful scene from the entrance.
She smiled, seeing everyone enjoying themselves.
By the end of the song, Lalon and Appu had become good friends, while Ravi and Kajol also shared several warm, light-hearted moments.
The atmosphere was filled with youthful energy and laughter.
That evening...
Lalon arrived at Shubh Mansion.
Kajol herself welcomed him.
Kajol: "I'm glad you came."
Lalon: "Thank you for inviting me."
Inside, Shubh introduced him to everyone.
Aparajita smiled warmly.
Aparajita: "Looks like we'll keep meeting."

Lalon: "I'm beginning to think fate likes repeating itself."
Everyone laughed.
During dinner...
Shubh proudly showed Lalon around his study.
The room was filled with trophies, awards, and framed newspaper articles celebrating his success.
Lalon quietly looked at each one.
Then his eyes stopped on an old photograph.
It showed Shubh standing beside another businessman.
The face had been deliberately torn away.
Lalon immediately recognized whose picture had been removed.
His father's.
He clenched his fists.
Shubh noticed him looking.
Shubh: "Just an old business partner. History."
Lalon forced a smile.
Lalon: "Some histories are never forgotten."
For a brief second...
Their eyes locked.
Neither man blinked.
After dinner...
Ravi met Kajol in the garden.
Ravi: "You've been smiling a lot these days."

Kajol laughed.
Kajol: "Is it that obvious?"

Ravi smiled gently but changed the subject, not wanting to make her uncomfortable. Deep inside, however, he realized his feelings for her had grown stronger.
From the balcony above, Aparajita watched Lalon standing alone under the moonlight.
There was something about him...
A quiet sadness hidden behind his confident smile.
She wondered what burden he carried.
Inside the mansion...
Lalon looked once more at his father's torn photograph.
In his heart, he made another promise.
"I won't destroy this family... but I will reveal the truth that built it."
