ch1:
Subbu was standing alone in the balcony,his hands on the railing,facing the beach. His eyes were closed tightly. He was thinking about his life,when he lived with his Lakshmi and his son,happily,until that unfateful day which snatched his happiness away. Since then,he was broken and hurt from inside..
Life gave him a second chance in the form of Simmi and Ananya. Simmi had just been freed from the shackles of a broken yet useless marriage with Param. Subbu had started growing an instant liking towards that little angel,Ananya,who had no fault yet had to bear so difficulties in this stage. Subbu wanted to give her everything as he would have given to his son,who died in the accident.
Simmi knew that Subbu wont be able to forget his first wife and his son.She was ok with it and happily accepted the fact,but,one major fact still remains,that,whether she will get the love she expects and deserves from Subbu?
Simmi was inside the kitchen,boiling milk for Ananya. She was lost in thoughts. Recently,Simmi had to bear the brunt of Subbu's anger,when she accidentally touched some of Lakshmi's stuff.. In that anger,Subbu revealed that the accident of his wife and son was related with Bhalla family. She was shell shocked at the revelation but still tried to calm him down,but,in that process,Subbu pushed her due to which she got hurt. Mrs.Sujata held Simmi and helped her to get up while she ran to bring Subbu's medicines. In this course,he didnt realise the way he behaved with his second chance.
Simmi was so lost in her thoughts,that,she didnt even realise the milk spilt out,burning her hand slightly,due to over boiling. She yelped a bit. Tears brimmed in her eyes. Tears were about to fall but then she realised that a palm forwarded to catch her fallen tears.
Moments back,as Subbu was in his balcony,he felt a soft hand on his shoulder. He knew the touch.
''Yeh sab kya hai,Subbu? Tum abhi bhi uss bechari Simmi ko saza de rahe ho. Uski kya galti hai? Mere aur humare bete ka accident ka gussa uspar kyun nikal rahe ho jabki tum jaante ho it was an accident? Woh bechari iss bharose ke saath tumse shaadi karke yaha aayi taaki tum usse thori pyaar aur izzat do jo usse apne pehle shaadi ke waqt nahi mili. She deserves all these. Murugan hume har waqt chances dete hai aur sabko second chances nahi dete hai,sirf giney chuney logo ko hi dete hai. Tumhe mila hai woh second chance.. Usse gavao mat.. Aisa kuch mat karna jiske wajah se uski feelings aur dil ko thhes pohuche. Main tumhari ateet hu aur Simmi tumhari aaj aur kal. Gusse mein aake apne apne aaj aur kal ko mat ujardo jiske liye tumhe baad mein pachtaane ka mauka bhi na mile...'' Saying this,she vanishes in thin air.
Subbu realised his mistake and thought a lot about Lakshmi's words. Suddenly,a tug happened to break his thoughts.
''Appa,Mumma..'' Ananya spoke.
''Kya hua,princess? Mumma ko kya hua?'' Subbu asked with concern.
''Mumma..kitchen..haath...dard... Mumma ro rahi hai...'' Ananya spoke.
Subbu ran towards the kitchen and then he saw Simmi,who was on the verge of crying,thats when he caught her tears,making her realise his presence there and her importance.
Precap: Subbu-Simmi new fresh start.
