Kshitij dies in that freak accident. Its been a year since his death, and Kkusum and Abhay are trying to get Kumud remarry. Kumud is not very excited about this idea. Garv and kumud have not been in touch with each other since the days after Kshitij's death. Garv comforted her when kshitij died, but he decided to stay away from her because he didn't want Kumud or Kshitij's family to think that he is taking advantage of his death. Kumud apparently is in love with Garv, but she thinks Garv doesn't love her anymore and has moved on with his life, since he has not kept in touch with her. Kumud agrees to remarry, but this time to the guy she truly loves, Mr. Garv Sachdev. She decides to win him back. So she starts on her mission. Kali is happily married to Nakul, after all they were made for each other. But she doesn't stop her evil activities against Kumud.
Kumud is talking to Kkusum and Abhay about getting back her Garv.
Kumud: Mama, Papa. Aap log mujhe peechle kayi dino se mere shaadi ki baat kar rahe hain, aur mein aapko naa keh rahi thi. Lekin mere na kehne ki ek wajah thi.
Abhay: tum kshitij ki death ki wajahse …
(Kumud interrupts him)
Kumud: nahin papa, kshitij ki death iski wajah nahin thi. Yaad hain mama, meine aapse kahan tha ke jis tarah meine Garv ke saath apna rishta poori sachayee se nibhaya ussi tarah mein Kshitij ek saath apna rishta nibhaoongi.
Kkusum: haan beta.
Kumud: Mama, Papa, meine Kshitij se shaadi karke yeh rishta nibhaya. Lekin jiss tarah mein Garv se pyar karti thi woh pyar mein Kshitij se nahin kar payi. Kshitij koh meine sirf ek dost ka pyar diya and I think that's the best I could have done. Meine Garv koh bhoola ne ki bahut koshish ki, but I never could.
Kumud cries.
Kkusum and Abhay are shocked but at the same time are sympathetic towards their daughter. They hug her. She continues
Kumud: Kshitij se meine shaadi iss liye ki kyunki woh ek aisa dost tha jisne hamesha mera saath diya. Ek aisa dost joh mujhse pyaar karta tha. Mein usse dukh nahin pahuchana chahti thi, aur na he uske parivar ko. Apne khushiyon ke khatir mein auron ko dukh nahin pahucha sakti thi. Lekin kuch logon ko khush dekh ne kay liye meine mere hi pyar ko bahut dard diya. Garv ko, mama papa, Garv ko.
Kumud continues to cry.
Kumud:Uss din woh jab mujhe comfort kar raha tha, toh mujhe wohi Garv mere samne nazar aaya, I saw his love in his eyes for me. Kshitij ko khone ka dard hain mujhe lekin jab kismet mujhe aur Garv ko phir se ek kar sakti hain toh …
she stops. And then continues…
mujhe laga woh phir kal aayega lekin, he never showed up. Kuch dino baad meine usse phone bhi kiya lekin he never answered his phone, mein uske ghar gayi lekin wahan mujhe pata chala ke Garv, America gaya hain, hamesha ke liye, apne papa ka business sambhal ne ke liye.
Kumud cries and she thinks Garv is trying to avoid her
Kumud: Mama, aap ko lagta hain, ke iss tarah Garv se…
Kkusum interrupts her and tells her the story of Siddharth and her life, and how Abhay and her got back together. She says that history repeated itself with Garv in Abhay's place, kshitij in Sidharth's place and Kumud in Kkusum's place/
Kumud is reassured by her parents support. And she decides to go meet Garv.
Kumud: Mama, papa. Meine faisla kar liya hain. Agar mein kissi ke saath apni zindagi bitaoongi toh woh hain Garv. Mein apne Garv ko wapas lane ja rahi hoon. Bas aapka ashirwaad chahiye.
Abhay: Kkusum, agar garv meri jagah hain toh kumud koh apna garv mill he jayega.
Kkusum: smiles, and agrees with Abhay.
KK: Dekho Kumud, agar tumhara aur Garv ka pyaar sacha hain toh tum dono ko koi alag nahin kar sakta. Jao kumud humara aashirwaad tumhare saath hamesha hain
Kumud hugs her parents and rushes to the airport.
Ofcourse she has the tickets ready. Lol.
Scene 2
Kumud's flight arrives at Atlanta airport. While going to the baggage claim she sees Garv. She runs after him, and they bump into each other. They gaze into each other's eyes and are totally lost into each other (TERE NAAM girl's version in the background) Kumud drops her handbag and her jacket when they bump into each other. Suddenly they snap out of that sizzling, romantic gaze and back to reality.
Garv still is shocked to find kumud there, but since both of them are speechless he starts picking up her stuff. Kumud just keeps staring at him with the happy feeling and the tear eyes. Garv decides to break the silence.
Garv: Oh my God, Kumud. Tum yahan kaise! I mean why didn't you tell me that you were coming. You totally surprised me.
Kumud: Garv, mein yahan tumse hee milne aayi thi. Meine tumhe nahin bataya kyunki mujhe laga you were avoiding me.
Garv: I don't know what are you saying Kumud. Anyways, chalo mein tumhe ghar lekar jaata hoon.(he picks up her luggage and takes her to his car)
Kumud: Lekin Garv tum yahan kaise? Mera matlab hain, tumhe toh nahin pata tha ke mein aarahi hoon, so how did I find you here?
Garv: Kumud, jaise tum yahan aa rahi thi waise mein bhi aa raha tha, I mean I just got back from my business trip. This morning I left for New York and got back today itself. W.oh luckily mein yaha milla warna tum toh, khair mujhe yeh batao, is that all the luggage.
Kumud: haan mere 4 bags thi, sab hain naa?
Garv: haan memsaab, sab hain.
( Kumud smiles and so does he. Garv puts the luggage in the trunk of his car and they head home).
This is the conversation on their way home.
Garv: So Kumud tumhari flight kaisi thi?
Kumud: it was good, but it was long.
They smile.
Garv drives the car, he is looking at Kumud and looks away when she is looking at him. Kumud is happy to be with him, feels like she is really going to her home.
Kumud: garv tum mujhe bina bataye hee yahan chale aaye.
Garv: Kya farak padta.
Kumud: Farak padta hain Garv, I was worried.
Garv: yeah, right! Tumhe farak padda? Come on, kumud, quit joking?
Kumud: (is getting annoyed by him) Tumhe mein joking kar rahin hoon lag raha hain?
Garv mein yahan itne door tumhare liye aayi aur tum ho ke!
(kumud is upset with him, she turns away and is not talking to Garv.
Garv realizes his mistake and decides to cheer her up.
Garv puts his hand on her head and she looks at him.
Garv: I am sorry kumud! (he smiles)
Kumud: (takes his hand in to hers and says its ok)
Garv: So Kumud, bhook lagi hain?
Kumud: haan bahut, the food on the flight is so not tasty.
Garv laughs. They both laugh.
Garv: I know Kumud, iss liye poocha. Mein tumhe mere favorite Indian restaurant mein leke jaata hoon. But before that we will go home, you freshen up and I will get Kajol ready.
Kumud: Kajol ready? (kumud seems to be shocked and I know u guys are too).
Garv: oh! Yea, mein tumhe baata na hee bhool gaya . Kajol, is my daughter.
(another shocker for kumud,lol)
Kumud: beti! Matlab tumhari shaadi…?
Garv: Oh noooo nooooo. Kajol ko meine adopt kiya hain. I didn't marry Kumud aur nahin kabhie karoonga. I am done with my shares of marriages. (He laughs)
Kumud: (is surprised, but relieved to know that he didn't marry or is in a relationship)
Lekin garv tumne adopt karne ka decision kyun liya.
Garv: Lo ghar aagaya. I live here with my daughter. Mom and Dad live with Garima in New York, aaj unse bhi milkar aaya.
Garv lives in a house that's small but beautiful. Its good enough for a family of four or so. Kumud gets out of the car and finds the home, gorgeous. Garv goes to take the luggage out of the car. Kajol's governess comes out of the house, she is quite old. She says that Kajol has done all her homework and is now playing with her friend in the backyard. Kumud says hi to the governess as Garv introduces them both. Governess takes her leave and Garv takes Kumud inside.
Kumud at the door gets the memories of her entering Garv's home in Mumbai when they got married. Kumud insists on seeing Kajol. Garv takes her to the backyard. Over there they find a cute, 7 year old girl playing on the sea saw and the swing with her friend. Kumud finds Kajol to be a very cute and beautiful child. Garv looks at kajol and says
Garv: Kumud, kajol tumhare jaisi dikhti hain naa?
He laughs and so does she.
Garv: Meine usse meri zindagi mein isliye laya because I was feeling lonely Kumud. Bahut Akela ho gaya tha mein. Kajol beti ne meri zindagi se woh akela pann door kardiya hain Kumud. She is the center of my universe. There is also another reason for adopting her. I married twice, ek baar tumse aur doosri baar kali se, the reason for the marriages were the children. Tumhara baccha aur kali ka bachha joh kabhie tha hi nahin. (he smiles and looks away)
He goes to Kajol while Kumud watches him with teary eyes filled with guilt for abandoning Garv.
Kajol sees her papa and goes running to him and hugs him. Garv papa lifts his child up and plays with her. They both are happy. Kumud smiles and the love for Garv in heart practically doubles.
Garv and Kajol say bye to Kajol's friend who lives next door and kajol tells her she will meet her tomorrow. You know the friend talk. Garv with kajol on his shoulder walks towards Kumud.
Garv: Kajol beta, yeh hain kumud aunty, meri friend.
Kumud: (Smiles and gives her hand to her) Hi beta.
Kajol is so happy to see her, I don't know why but she is.
Kajol: Dad, aap mujhe niche toh utaariye.
Garv: okay! He gets her down.
Kajol: Hi Kumud aunty, (she goes and hugs her)
They look like they share a deep relationship of a mother and daughter. Kkusum and Kumud.
Garv is happy to see that kajol likes kumud.
Kajol: Kumud aunty, aap humare saath rahengi naa?
Garv: Haan beta, aunty yehi rahengi.
Kajol: COOOOOOOOL!
Kumud is happy to see Kajol happy at her arrival.
Kumud lifts kajol in her arms and says
Kumud: beta, tumhare dad kabhie khelte hain tumhare saath.
Kajol: Haan, bahut khelte hain, weekends par hum camps par jaate hain, it's a lot of fun, this weekend also we will go. Aap chalengi naa aunty.
Kumud: Ofcourse, tum kehti ho toh I bet it's a lot of fun. And I like to have fun. Pehle papa se pooch ke woh mujhe laykay jaayenge ke nahin.
Garv: Hum camp jaayenge kal okay! We will have lotsa fun tomorrow but first Kumud memsaab aap zara fresh ho jayi ye and kajol beta aunty koh unki room dikhaiye. Okay?
Kumud: oh yea, chalo kajol.
Kajol: lets go aunty! Warna yeh military wala humme kal fun camp ke instead boot camp lekar jayega. Koi bharosa nahin mere dad ka.
Kumud laughs, and Garv is happy coz he feels like he has got a complete family.
Garv: Chup! Dono chup!
Mujhe bahut bhook lagi hain, mein 15 minute mein jaa raha hoon restaurant mein, tab tak mujhe tum dono bahar ready chahiye, warna mein akela jaoonga. U guys can order pizza while I eat delicious Hindustani bhojan, What say?
Kajol and Kumud don't answer him and just run into the house to get ready.
Garv laughs! Finally Kajol has got the kind of friend she needed.
Next week garv and kumud reunite, or the week after that. Or may be not. Lol
Do tell me what u think of the ff so far. Bye.
Sam.
