Komal and Amma exchange some lovey-dovey talks and Komal happily cuts the call ..
The scene opens to Pratigya pacing her room [ She is weak in maths..she has been doing this from the day she arrived at the villa and still has not been able to complete her survey ] ...then getting tired [ see given up already ]...she sits on the bed ...thinking ..Thinking...when suddenly she is startled to hear mobile ring...she cranes her neck here and there and finally her eyes zooms to the Cd Player [I've never heard it playing ]..and nestling cosily next to the palyer will be our Krishna's MOBILE...Diving forward ..Pratigya seizes the Mobile and answers ...to discover that the call is from Chandu ..and he wants to speak to Krishna bhaiyya ...Pratigya is SHOCKED [Why ??}...and she asks chandu, did not Krishna come there .. [Yeh kaisa saval hai yaar, he hasn't come ..that's why Chandu called ,] *Kabhi Kabhi,,,this Prof beti keeps the illogical flag of Prof flying really high* .so she tells Chandu to hold on...and goes in search of Krishna ...calling Krishna Krishna Krishna ...all the way from the bedroom to their living room ....but Krishna has vanished, gone, poiyindhe,poye poche ..
and informing chandu of the fact , she cuts the call ....only to discover that all the Thakurs plus Piyasiya are staring at her ...
All of them are standing,sitting silently and coldly...to break the ice ...Kesar asks Pratigya to have her breakfast ...immediately Amma jumps in and says something crushing to Kesar ...Pratigya turns to go ..Amma stops her..and orders Piyasiya to get a plate,bowl, spoon and glass ...Piyasiya gets it and gives to Amma ..Amma takes it and comes near Pratigya..everbody perk up..they know something is happening ...SS' grinding has slowed down..Shakthi sit up expectantly..Dadi with a twisted face .. Amma tells pratigya to take the plate and accessories and depart to her room and henceforth to eat all alone in her room cos they don't eat with an harlot, a woman of easy virtue ...Shakthi gives an involuntary smirk and covers it as if rubbing his face...Dadi tells SS to intercede ..but SS supports his wife [ Wah ! Baba ka Asar inn par bhi padne lag hai ]...then Pratigya in her crystal clear tone says.. ..and if u think that by constantly bullying me , you will wear me down..then u are wrong ...I will not be beaten by you nor will i hold myself guilty ...Dadi looks on approvingly SSS are shocked..Amma looks on in disbelief and says you have the nerve to answer back ...and lifts her hand ..to slap Pratigya ..Pratigya stops her ...and brings her hands down with an interesting shot of SS spitting out, just the moment the hand comes down.. the half chewed apple [so is he ready to spit out the poison , or does he consider Pratigya as a garbage to b thrown out ]
Pratigya warns Amma not repeat such mistake [next time , slap and talk ..i suppose ]..I have lost all my respect towards u ppl ...and just bec I am silent doesn't mean..that I am wrong and u are rite.. think again..and change ur thinking ...Immediately SS pips up saying ...what else do you want to change..shud I change my name,mother ..NO !! I will not change ..what will you do ?? Pratigya drops her bomb shell ..Then I will get you arrested [ impossible..SS knows everybody in the police dept ]...she warns everyone not to trouble her anymore ...or else be ready to face the consequence ..
On hearing this, shakthi immediately explodes ..but is quickly controlled by SS [Pratigya has an implacable enemy in Shakthi ]...Pratigya gives a stare...and turns towards her room ....Shakthi asks SS why he stopped him..to which SS cryptically replies .. we have spoken a lot..time for some quiet ..now we will play [snake and ladders or monopoly or Ludo ]..and we will play in such a way that one will never figure out when the game had begun and when it ends !! [Ermmm ! is it chess !!]...
Another typical day in Sax household..all are cleaning , dusting and clearing the house with out doing the same thing to their thoughts ...Nainaji tells Aarushi to iron Papa's clother..but Aarushiya says she has to start the IV drip [ Prepare Chai, Guys !!]...Komal immediately offers to help..and everbody are plesantly surprised .. but they try to dissaude her ..Komal insists ..and Nainaji looses graciously ...Komal goes to Iron Papa's clothes ...and in a few sec we have the glimpse of an angry Shyamji coming out and throwing down the ironed clothes...he demands to know who ironed his clothes, it is already late and u cant even iron it properly ...komal comes and says ..why are you shouting like this ..I have ironed it correctly ..na...but Sax is beyond control..he tells Komal to shut up [ and if Komal does that , then it is a feat worthy of Guinness record ]..you don't know to do any work and on top of that ..how dare you answer me back ...for this you deserve to slathered with coal ..and tells her to get lost ...Adarsh tries to sympathize with his father but mother and daughter support Komal .
Shaymu then stalks off to his room ..to be followed by his mother who asks him why is he behaving like this ..Shyam says that he is just returning the favor that is heaped on Pratigya ...but Shyamu's Ma ..says ..DON't open ur heart to such negative thoughts..and keep ur faith in truth ..
I found the entire Saxena episode in bad taste...just bec ur daughter is hurting ..u are taking it on someone's daughter..How does that become equal..At least Pratigya has Krishna ..but Komal ..and if you are really was so filled with angst ..go and besmirch SSS and Amma ..why are you taking it out on a girl , who is also a victim and more ever who is an innocent bystander ..what you are doing Prof is the classic example of Bullying and cowardice..you know you cant take on the Thakurs..so You are picking on the cub...Shameful !!
