Later in the car,

Raman: Court ke papers toh mere haath mein hai. Tumhari haath mein yeh...papers...

Ishita: Arjun se related saare papers hai isme... Stem cell contract, vaccination related papers, sab hai isme... Woh Arjun Shagun ke saath rahega toh yeh sab Shagun ke haath dena chahiye na. Waise mujhe sab kuch yaad hai... main unhe yaad dilaungi lekin...

Ishita's couldn't complete her sentence neither Raman waited for the same. They looked away from each other to stare at nothing...

Everyone started along with Raman and Ishita to get a last glimpse of their Arjun while, some prayed for a miracle... On reaching the court, they saw Arjun sleeping peacefully in Shagun's hands... She was alone without Ashok... They wanted to go near but Raman stopped them and took them inside as the first hearing for the day is for their case... While Raman was expecting a miracle, he was reminded of one...Adi's custody case...

He saw Ishita and his ownself, a year younger standing in the same place rejoicing the victory... He wanted to hug Ishita when She stopped him...

Ishita: Kya kar rahe ho? Yeh court hai aur wahan Adi hai...

Raman: Aur tum meri biwi ho... Main yahan apne kushi express karna chahtha hoon aur tum kahan madrasan mentality ko beech mein le aa rahe ho?

Ishita: Thank god... Finally...

Raman: Finally kya?

Ishita: Back to Raavan kumar mode... Hai na? Aise raho warna mere liye tujhe sambhalne mushkil ho jata hai...

Neil Pathak came there.

Pathak: Bhai... Saare formalities ho gayi... Aap dono ko sign karna hai...

They entered the court room where they saw Adi impatiently waiting for everything to get over to go back to Bhalla house and Ishita. After fulfilling formalities, when they were about to leave, Ashok and Shagun met them...

Ishita: Adi beta... Aap Mihir chachu ke saath gaadi mein bait jao. Hum aa rahe hain...

Shagun: Jyada achi banne ki natak mat karo... Mere Adi ko cheen liya na.

Ishita: Shagun... Don't use such big words. Maine kuch nahi kiya... Aap ke wajah se yeh sab hua. Apne bache ko kaise sikh diya aapne?

Ashok: Ishita. Abhi bhi visitation rights hai humare pass... Isliye udne ki zaroorat nahi hai. Yaad rakho Raman... Main tumhe khush nahi rehne doongi...

When he was thinking about all this, he was interrupted by the most irritating voice. Shagun was calling Ashok...

Ashok: Kya hai? Kyon disturb kar rahi ho? Ek baar jab keh diya ki main raaste mein hoon, tumhe baat samaj mein nahi aati kya?

Shagun: Abhi hume andar bulane wale hain.

Ashok: Toh andar jao. Do din se mera dimaag kharab kaa rahi ho Shagun. Kya hogaya? Kya nayi rishtha jud gaya Raman ke bache ke saath... Agar kuch poochtha hoon toh Adi ka jap shuru kar deti ho... Aksar ghar se gaayab hoti thi na. Kisi baba ke ashram mein join kar diya kya? Isliye yeh punar janam, prayashchit... yeh sab bakwaas kar rahi ho? Kyon?

Shagun: Tumhe jo samajna hai samjo... Yeh mera Adi hi hai... Kahan tak aaye hue ho?

Ashok: Mudkar dekho...

Finally, Shagun and Ashok entered the court room with Arjun. In a few minutes time, Judge entered the court room and the proceedings started... Ishita was called to the court stand again to know if her opinion remains the same. Ishita had to lie again... This time, the judge was quite convinced with Ishita's decision. Ashok was finally happy with Shagun... She helped him to trouble Raman again. He started planning for the evening party. Ishita got back to her place and sat near Raman with her heads down. She couldn't face anyone anymore... She killed their hopes...

Ashok's lawyer: Shagunji kuch kehna chahti hai...

Judge: Ab? Judgement ke waqt? Teek hai

Ashok: Kya karnewali ho? Bache ko mere haath de do...

Shagun didn't respond to any of Ashok's questions and took Arjun along with her to the witness box.

Shagun: Mam... Mujhe kuch kehna hai. Mujhe iss bache ke custody nahi chahiye...

Everyone was shocked... Everyone's eyes were fixed upon Shagun...

Judge: Kya. Pehle Ruhi Bhalla se shuru kiya aur iss beche pe aakar rukha. Itne chote bache ke saath aap log kya khel rahe ho? Ek taraf uske ma ne uske jimmedari apnane se mana kar diya aur ab aap bhi... Kaise ma ho aap dono? Yeh court hai. Koi playground nahi jo mann kiya case file kar diya aur ab judgement ke waqt aake keh diya bache ki custody nahi chahiye. Kitna ajeeb case tha aur kitna sochna pad raha tha... Lekin, ab apko ehsaas ho raha hai...

Shagun: Sorry for interrupting mam lekin Ishita ki koi galti nahi hai isme... Maine usse dhamka diya... Ruhi ke naam ka... Isliye, Ishita ne yeh kadam utaya. Woh sapnon mein bhi aise soch nahi sakthi hai... Arjun, jaan hai uss poore parivaar ka... Mere iss boyfriend, mere live-in partner, Ashok Khanna ke kehne par maine yeh kiya. I am sorry. Main Arjun ko Ishita ke haath soumpna chahti hoon...

Yes, Miracle... It happened... After Shagun's confession, Judgement was quite obvious. Ishita and Raman's happiness knew no bounds... Judge warned Ashok and Shagun to keep a distance from Raman's kids... The next case was announced making Bhallas and others go out of the court room.

Ashok: Shagun...

Shagun: Ek minute... Aaj tak tumhe mujhe bahut sunaya aur maine bahut kuch sun liya... Ab mujhe kuch kehna hai tumse lekin usse pehle mujhe kuch karna hai...

She went near Ishita and gave Arjun in her hands after kissing his forehead for one last time...

Shagun: Ek minute Ishita. Yahan se mat jao. Mujhe tumse aur Raman se baat karni hai.

She turned towards Ashok.

Shagun: Mr.Ashok Khanna. Main jaanti hoon iske baad kya honewala hai. Ab tak tumhare bunglow mein doormat ke darjah diya ab woh bhi nahi milega aur ghar se phenkna chahoge. Lekin, afsoos... Main khud jaa rahi hoon... Mujhe naukri mil gayi... Main uss naukri ke baare mein details de sakthi hoon lekin tumhare samaj ke bahar hoga. Isliye, rehne do... Itna samaj lo ki main apne galtiyon ko sudharne ke liye kahi jaa rahi hoon.

Tumhara doosra sawal yeh hoga ki maine tumhe yahan kyon bulaya? Kyonki main ek baar, sirf ek baar tumhe haarte hue aur Raman ko jeethe hue dekhna chahti thi... Meri wajah se...Woh bhi hua... Ashok, tumne Raman ke saath jo kiya sab galat tha lekin mere saat... nahi. Sab sahi tha kyonki galti tumhari nahi meri hai. Maine choda Raman ko... Uske sar jhukakar tumhare saath rehne ka faisla kiya... In short, bhaag ke tumhare pass aayi... Usse bhi gandi harkatein ki hai... Raman ke patni hokar bhi tumhare saath... Aaj usse kehte hue bhi sharam aati hai. Tum jao... Shagun tumhari zindagi se chali gayi... Phir se kisi shaadi shutha aurat par nazar mat daalo. Har koi Shagun nahi hogi... Jhoote se maregi tumhe...

Yeh bhi soch hi rahe hoge na ki Shagun ajanak kaise badal gayi. Ajanak kuch nahi hua...Kaafi dino se soch rahi thi aur jab Ishita aur Raman ke achayi and pyaar ke nishani humare ghar aaye, sorry, tumhare ghar, mujhe samaj mein aa gayi. Infact, aani chahiye warna kabhi mera kuch nahi ho sakta tha...Tum bhi sudharne ki koshish karo...

When Shagun stopped there, Ashok left from there without saying a word in anger. Shagun and others present there understood that Ashok can never change. Shagun turned towards frozen Ishita and Raman.

Shagun: Ishita aur Raman... Jitne bhi maafi mangne ki koshish karoon, kami toh hokar rahega... Kitna sataaya tum dono ko, dus minute ke pehle tak kitna dukh diya. Lekin Raman, acha hi kiya maine tumhe chodkar. Tum meri jaisi nahi, Ishita jaisi biwi ko deserve karte ho. Jab tum dono ke beech mein woh pyaar dekhti hoon na, pehle bahut jalan ho rahi thi lekin ab nahi... Meri samaj mein aa gayi ki main kabhi Ishita ki tarag tumhe pyaar nahi de sakthi... Shayad mujhe tumhari zindagi mein aani hi nahi chahiye... Kitna bezzati kiya aur karwaya... Dimaag kharab ho gayi... Tumhare pyaar ke alava sab kuch dikh raha tha mujhe... Natheeja dekho... Aur Ishita, tum, tum toh iss equation mein thi hi nahi phir bhi tumhe takleef diya... Isliye kyonki tum meri beti se pyaar karti thi...i mean,karti ho... Kitni boori ma hoon main... Adi ke mann mein tumhare aur Raman ke khilaf zeher baraya... Kya kuch nahi kiya... Tumhari rishthedaaron tak... Sab ko tang kiya... Maafi mangte hue bhi sharam aati hai. Tumhari nazar se nazar nahi mila paa rahi hoon main...

(Looking at others)Zaroor yeh kaafi nahi hai phir bhi maafi maange bina nahi jaa sakthi hoon. Aap sab maaf kijiye mujhe... Sabke pyaar ko dhoka diya, aap logon ke weakness ka faayda utaya... I am very very sorry...

Ishita: Lekin Shagun, aap kahan jaa rahe ho... Aapko jaane ki kya zaroorat.

Shagun: Yehi toh tum ho Ishita... Maine tumhare saath buraayi ke alava kuch nahi kiya par tum... Main ek orphanage mein caretaker ka job karne jaa rahi hoon. Ek bache ke saath jo paap kiya uska prayashchit inn bachon ko seva karke karna chahti hoon. Infact, Arjun ke janam ke din mein wahi, ussi hospital mein thi kyonki humare home mein ek bache ko chot lag gayi. Wahan tum logon ko dekhkar pata chal gaya ki tumhe Arjun hua hai. Dheere dheere mujhe inn bachon ke seva karte hue ek sukoon mila... Ab kahi shift kar rahe hain humare orphanage ko... Funds ki kami reh gayi...Main wahi jaa rahi hoon... Yeh mat poocho ki kahan jaa rahi hoon. Batana nahi chahti hoon. Bahut interfere kar diya tumhare zindagi mein... Ab bas... Bhool jao mujhe...

Ishita...aur ek baat. Mihir ke sangeet tak jo kuch maine kiya tha, woh badla lene ke liye tha. Lekin, Arjun... Arjun ko badla lene ke liye tumse nahi cheena tha... Mujhe kuch baand raha hai Arjun se... Genuine feelings... Main bhi yeh baat samaj nahi pa rahi thi aisa kya hai jo mujhme yeh badlaav lekar aaya. Main, jisne apni bachi ko rulathe hue chod diya mujhse, mujhse Arjun ke choti se choti takleef dekha nahi jaa raha tha. Mujhe Adi dikh raha tha Arjun mein. Maine Adi ko bhi nahi paala. Toshi aunty ne hi kiya lekin Arjun ko paalne ka mann kiya... Isliye, usse cheen liya... Bahut galat kiya... Mujhe lag raha tha ki yeh sab galat hai lekin ek obsession jaisi ho gayi... Arjun ne mujhe sahi raasta dikhaya Ishita...

Yes... Arjun ke masoom chehre ko dekhkar hi mujhe pata chal raha tha ki kitni badi guna kar rahi thi. Agar Arjun mere saath rahega toh usse kya milega... Kya naam de sakthi hoon usse... Ashok Khanna ke girl friend ke adopted son. Koi pehchan nahi milnewala... Lekin, tumhare aur Raman ke saath voh Arjun Bhalla bankar sar uthakar jee saktha hai. Tumhare aur Raman ke parvarish... Yeh sab bina kisi galti usse kaise cheen sakthi hoon. Main Arjun ko woh sab dena chahti hoon jo Adi ko nahi de paaya. Adi ko hamesha materialistic pleasures ke nashe mein dubake rakha. Isliye woh tumse turanth judne laga jab tumne usse sache pyaar ka raasta dikhaya. Main Arjun ko yehi sikhana chahti thi. Uske liye sabse zaroori yeh hai ki woh tum logon ke pass rahe... Aise samaj mein aaya Ishita...

Ishita: Thank you Shagun... Thanks a lot...

Saying so, Ishita hugged Shagun. Shagun reciprocated the same.

Shagun: Toh main jaa rahi hoon... Tum sab ke zindagi se bahar. Ruhi ko meri bye bol do... Bye Raman... Again, sorry for everything... Bye Ishita... Bye...

Saying so, Shagun left from there hiding her tears from everyone... Ishita came back to the real world, hugged Arjun and showered him with kisses. Raman took him from Ishita and kissed him. Later, others took Arjun from Raman to hold him for a while... Ishita hugged Raman to express her happiness...

Raman: Kya kar rahi ho yaar? Yeh court hai aur wahan poora family hai...

Ishita: Badla lene ka koi mauka nahi chodte ho na?

Raman: Aakhir meri Ishita ka Raavan kumar hoon...

Ishita: Raman... Bas... Chodo... Gently hug kiya aur aap... Mere haddi tudvavoge kya... Chodo... Ruhi Ruhi...

Raman: Phir se jhoot...

Ishita: Sachi... Wahan dekho... Mihir ke saath aa rahi hai...

Ruhi came running towards Ishita and Raman.

Raman: Arey Ruhi... Tum... School se aa gayi kya... Kaise...

Mihir: Bhai. Maine gaadi bheja. Ruhi ko Arjun se milna tha na.

Ruhi: Haan papa... Arjun kahan hai...

Ishita: Dadi ke pass jao...

Ruhi and Mihir moved near Arjun finally giving privacy to Ishita and Raman.

Raman: Kya hai?

Ishita: Sab teek ho gaya...

Raman: Kaha tha maine...

Ishita: Maan gayi... Lekin...

Raman: Jaanta hoon. Shagun ne itna sab kuch kaha lekin main chup tha... Usse maaf karna chahiye aur... Ishita, nahi ho raha hai mujhse... Waise, tum expert ho lecture dene mein... De do...

Ishita: Seriously... Lecture lecture lecture ka jap karke tum mujhse behtar lecture dene lage ho... Poori baat suno...Main thanks kehna chahti thi...

Raman: Acha... Kisliye?

Ishita: Kyonki aap ne Shagun ke har baat chup chap sun rahe the... Raman, Shagun aaj badal gayi lekin jo kuch unhone aapke ke saath kiya, won maafi mangne ke laayak bhi nahi hai. Mujhe lag raha tha, aap phir kuch ulta seedha bologe lekin aisa nahi kiya... Aapne unke feelings ka respect kiya... Thoda bahut sensitivity toh aa gayi hai aap ke andar... Acha hai...

Raman: Hello... Tumhe yeh sab aaj dikh raha hai... Bas... Mein toh hamesha se aisa hi hoon...

Ishita: Jo bhi ho... Acha laga... Shagun ko aise dekhkar...

Raman: True... She's turning over a new leaf Ishita...

Ishita was smiling when she heard a familiar voice...

Toshi: Oye... Madrasan... Kaha tha na maine? Meri bahu kabhi galtat nahi ho sakthi... Dekha, mil gaya mera Arjun.

Madhu: Kyon. Tum se bhi galtiyan hoti hai na. Kitni baar bewaja scold kiya hai mere Ishu ko?

Toshi: Woh toh choti moti ghar ke jagde the... Inna vadda sa maamle mein toh uska saath diya na...

.

Raman: Baap re... Badi musibat toh chali gayi lekin yeh choti musibat... Inn dono ka kuch nahi ho sakta...

Ishita: Arey...Film thodi hai jo ending ke waqt sab teek jayega... Parivaar hai... Aise achi hai...

Raman: Phir aa gayi form mein...

Ishita smiled at Raman... So, we end it here...

I would like to thank each and every person who liked my ss and commented on the same... It really really meant a lot to me... You guys helped me draft this wonderful ss. Your feedback and comments gave me the push... My main motive behind this ss was to bring into limelight how it will turn out to be if Shagun changes for good...
