Scene 411 PRS Delhi palace
Maids and servants are excited to see Karan. He has always stayed in US. His mother, sister and dadaji had moved to India 8 months back but his father and he moved to India 3 months back only. They have hardly met Karan baba their Yuvraj.
PRS sees her and walks to her and touches her feet. She kisses him on forehead and both hug each other.
Karan then introduces Arjun to them as his best friend who saved Gunjan in mall and drowning.
As soon as everyone gets to know he helped Gunjan they rush to him thanking, giving him blessings for long life, happiness, richness and prosperity. Arjun is overwhelmed and looks at Karan who is smiling looking at him.
Karan: Arjun, you wanted to see our childhood pictures na, I will show you. Sit on the bed no.
Arjun wants to ask for a picture of Karan as 14 year old with Gunjan as 1 year old on his lap. Both are busy in themselves laughing and playing with a teddy.
Arjun: Karan, what a cute picture?
Arjun: Do you have a soft copy of this picture?
Karan: Yes, you want a copy?
Arjun: Pleaseee
Karan: OK, I will send it to your mail
Karan bends and picks it: This is my father's and his friends childhood photos. Come lets see them
Scene413 PRS and his best friends
Right from 4 years old PRS always puts long sleeves shirts or dress every picture.
Arjun: Why does papa your papa always wear long sleeves? He likes them
Karan in deep thought and upset: To hide(stops)
Arjun: Hide what?
PRS comes in: So, what are you both young men doing?
Karan: Looking at pictures papa. Come sit with us.
PRS also starts watching the photos and commenting on them.
There is one picture with four kids three boys and one girl with one boy cutting his cake
Arjun: These are your childhood friends
Karan: Yes, that's Deep uncle, Kuku uncle and this is Ruku aunty
Karan looks at Rukmini very lovingly and runs his fingers on her face and smiles looking at her.
PRS puts hand on his shoulder: What happened Arjun?
Arjun wipes his tears: Nothing, just reminded me of my childhood
Arjun looking shocked at his father. He does not know his mom is dead. He thinks his mom had settled in Delhi.
Arjun shakes his father's hand: Sir, your friend told you she is in Delhi
PRS: Yes, 31 years back she had told she is marrying and settling in Delhi. I have not been here for 31 years and went to her house. It was locked. But I am trying to find out where she is in Delhi so that I can go and meet her. She said she is marrying a government servant (with sadness).
His baby had laughed and asked "And promise me you will name your children Karan and Gunjan"
Prithvi had smiled and told "And yours Arjun and Payal. We will see each others love and happiness in our children"
She said "Promise I will name my children Arjun and Payal"
PRS in deep thoughts remembering that convo
Karan: Dad dad
PRS comes back to reality
Karan: Look at this picture
Arjun: You all went to same school
Scene415 Rukmini and PRS childhood memories
No answer from PRS.
PRS again lost in thoughts
Kuku shouted- Ruku, how can you hit Prithvi so much. Do not forget he is the Yuvraj and if Maharaj comes to know he may punish you.
Ruku stopped hitting. What Yuvraj, yuvraj he is for others. We are his friends and we will call him Raj from today. Is it OK Raj?
Prithvi was angrily staring at her.
Prithvi: I had told to hit 2-3 not 10-20 hits with your fist on my chest and really hard slaps.
Ruku kissed Prithvi's cheeks "Sorry Raj, did it hurt. I was angry. Very sorry".
She pulled his hands and started hitting her face with his hands "Sorry very sorry baba. Smile now".
Karan: Arjun is asking if you all went to same school papa?
Arjun: Then how you became friends sir
PRS: All my three friends parents worked for my father. So we knew each other and visited each other's house as babies only. We would visit each other's house and every day play in my palace garden and orchard. It was fun. We would go from school straight to the palace orchard to play.
Arjun too busy staring at his mother photo to notice it.
PRS stares at Karan and shakes his head and Karan keeps quiet.
