Priya went to Vikram's place to talk to him about saving his relationship with Neha. Vikram was busy helping Ridhima with her homework. Priya was moved to see the sight of that loving dad helping his daughter in these difficult times.
Vikram saw Priya coming in and said hi. He asked Ritzy to go to her room to finish off her work. Ritzy said hi to Priya and went away.
V: Bolo Priya.Kaise aana hua.
P: Mujhe aapse baat karni thii.
V: Acchaa hai.Tumne mujhe iss layak samjha. Waise thank you so much for helping Neha in these times.
Priya was taken aback. Vikram was thanking her?
V: Haan, woh itni disturbed thii, she needed a place to run away to and be away from this turbulence.
P: Main puri baat to nahin jaanti aur maine Neha se poochne ki koshish bi nahin kiya ab tak. Par aisi bhi issue ho saktii hai jo baat-cheech se solve nahin ho sakti hai?
V: Yeh tum keh rahi ho. Jab tum museebat mein thi to tum khud bhaag gayi.kisi se kucch bhi nahin kaha.
P: Meri baat alag thi. main 20 din coma mein thi. uske baad pata chala ki aap sab log mere marne ki news accept kar chuke the. aur Ram to itna disturbed the,mere aane se aur bhi uljhan mein pad jaate. Main bahut sochne ke baad yeh decision liya.sirf Ram ke liye.Unki haalat dekh kar.Wo aaage badh sake iske liye.mujhe jail mein dekh kar na jaane kya beetti un par.ye sab soch kar.
V: Ram disturbed thaa.Agreed. Aur main?Main mar gaya thaa kya.Niharika ji se ladne ke liye tumne mujhe yaad kiyaa aur madad maangi. Sirf mujh se share kiya wo sach. Ram ke ma se milwaaya. Itni confidence thi. Par mumbai chhodne se pehle ek baar bhi ye nahin socha ki Vikram meri help kar saktaa hai. tab hi nahin,in paanch saalon mein ek baar nahin sochaa ki Vikram help kar saktaa hai.
Priya was dumbstruck. He was right. She took his help when there was big mess and people were taking sides and one mistake could have costed a lot. In the whole divorce drama he helped her, stood by her like a rock, having confidence in her and kept it a well guarded secret.
P: par,par main apni identity chupaana chahti thi.aur baad mein pregnancy ki news jaan kar aapse kyun maine Ram ko hi call kiya thaa. wo kisise unki ear rings ke baare mein pooch rahe the. to socha ki he was ok in my absence.
V: wo tumhare liye wo earrings ki bheek maang raha tha kisi se.hum sab wahan the. Ram ne Ashwin ke maamle mein tum par itna vishwas kiya.tab to woh tumhare baare mein jyaada nahin jaanta thaa.He acted with an intrinsic trust in you. And you... Ek baat main poochna chahunga. tumhe kya laga in paanch saalon mein wo kaise jii raha tha.
Priya was in tears.Her head was bent and could not look into Vikram's eyes.
V: tumne dubai mein ek baar bhi milne ki koshish nahin ki?ram-peehu to aksar milte the na
P: koshish ki.phir Ayesha aur Khush ke baare mein jaan kar ruk gayi.
V: kyaa jaan kar.
P: Vikram, main ab sab jaanti hoon ki unhonne Ayesha ki izzat bachane ke liye shaadi ki ussse.
V: Bas.Itna hi pata hai tumhe? Usne koi theka liya kyaa ye sab karne ki. tumhari aatma ki shanti ke liye usne ye kiya. tumhare hote huye(and shook his head).
P: Vikram, main jaanti hoon mujhse galti hui, maine accept kiya hai apni mistake par wo sunna hi nahin chaahte.bahut gusse mein hai.main use sudhaarne ke liye taiyaar hoon.
V: kaise, Ram se custody battle lad kar. tum kyaa samajhti ho wo tumse sirf nafrat karta hai?
P: main jaanti hoon ki unki dil mein mere liye pyaar hai.
V: aur isi liye wo itna upset hai.tum sirf uskaa gussa dekh rahi ho.pehle uski maa,phi niharika ji,ab tum sab usse chupte chupaate rahe. he is fed up. wo hum sab ki tarah dimaag se nahin dil se sochta hai.isi liye bhaagta chala aaya Neha ko samjhaane(Vikram's voice choked).Uss din jab usse pataa chalaa ki hum alag ho rahe hain, to woh bahut dukhi thaa. usne hamein Paris bheja aur kaha mere liye na sahi Priya ke liye jaao. sab kuch Priya ke naam par.dil mein priya,baaton mein Priya,yaadon mein Priya,yahan tak uski tablet ki wallpaper main Priya.paanch saal,paanch saal rota thaa akele. Krishna ji thi,Sowmya thi,Rishabh thaa,hum sab the. Phir bhi ek stupid si muskaan pehan kar andar hi andar rota thaa har pal.aur tum apni dhun mein mast thi ki woh aage badh gayaa hai aur Ayesha ke saath.Aur Khush ke baare mein sunkar. I dont believe this. Priya, there is something seriously wrong.Shayad tumhari decision ko support karne ke liye tumne apne aap ko samjhaaya ki ye sab sach hai.I'm very sorry to say, but you misjudged him,misunderstood him completely,you gave up on him,let him go,let your marriage relationship go aur mujhe samjhaane aayi ho.
You know what you owe my friend big time.You suffered for him and wanted him to be happy but didnt know where his happiness was and whether he was really happy. You never tried to find out if your decision worked. You showered misery on him. You didnt know his suffering of these 5 years. I know. Thats the only truth I know about him. If you can peek and understand his suffering of 5 years, there are many layers to it. Then you will probably know what to do.
Priya stood there motionless, was beyond tears. After a few seconds,
P: Vikram agar main nahin jaati to kyaa woh khush rehte. peehu maa ke bina kaise rehti.
V: Please dont be hypothetical. Hindsight is 20/20. Your presence would have made a lot of difference to the case. Woh theek hai.kam se kam ek baar contact kiya hota in paanch saalon mein atleast mujhe to it would have made a hell of diference. Please think for Ram,not Peehu. Once you start thinking for him and tell him that you want to ease the suffering he underwent,try to erase it, see what difference it will make. Fight for Ram and Peehu will be with you automatically.
P: But Vikram...
V: But kyaa. Who are you? Priya Sharma or Priya Ram Kapoor.Is he your husband? Why do you disown him still? Do you have any right on him?
P: Vikram please.
V: Then why do you care only about Peehu,why not about Ram? Fight for him, fight with him for your right.Tell him you made a mistake and want to be back in his life. His anger will subside. He loves you both so much to separate Peehu from you. Please make your thoughts Ram-centric. And I promise you I will not take any decision about Neha in haste.And Ram wont too. If you both unite Peehu is safe and happy. You walked away,now its your responsibility to fight back in. Own up the responsibility. I'll help you.
