Chapter 1:
Muskaan walked towards Udaipur bus station rolling her bags in the state of shock with recent turn of events. A horn from the car passingby broke her trance as she realized that she had involuntarily walked to herdestination in 30 minutes. She got the tickets for her bus to Shimla (it doesn’t make sense to have a bus directly to Kasauli). Her bus leaves in two hours. Anincident from today evening’s sangeet function flashed by mind as she settledin the station waiting for her bus.
Two hours ago, Muskaan was out of the hall near pool area to get some fresh air. The whole idea of lavish wedding right after her brother’s demise was making her uncomfortable and the idea, she was attending it was making her guilty. She was suffocated while everyone else celebrated. Akshara came there looking for her, stating she wants to talk to her. She started offby saying that she understands my feelings, before she could continue, Muskaan cut her off saying she would come in after some time and to leave her alone.She was annoyed at Akshara Bhabhi too for constantly forcing her to partake inthe wedding rituals even after her strong refusal and disinterest. Probably, she was rude. Akshara had just started moving towards the hall understanding space Muskaan needed. In the meantime, Abhir who was playing around the place slippedinto the pool, that too in the deeper side of the pool. He shouted for helpcatching attention from Muskaan and Akshara… Akshara screamed out Abhir and ran towards him, but Akshara’s steps froze for a few seconds right before she was to jump in. Muskaan was confused but she ran towards the pool and took a dive.She got Abhir out from the pool and Akshara ran towards them crying, Muskaan and Akshara tried to help Abhir grasp fresh air. Roohi had seen Abhir fall into the pool and went in to inform all.
Abhimanyu took Abhir inside in safer place and Akshara followed along with Arohi and Roohi. Everyone else stood by pool looking at Muskaan who was shivering less because of being wet but because of incident.Manjiri confronted Muskaan and accused her off using Abhir to create problems in the wedding. Muskaan was shocked as she tried denying anything of her.Manjiri continued her baseless accusations while rest of the family looked on silently at her accusation. Muskaan tried defending herself saying that Abhir fell in the water accidentally and she was just trying to help but Manjiri wouldn’t hear a word from her stating how she has been so obsessed with her Bhaijee and Bhabhi’s jodi that now she cannot see them happy. Hence, she has purposelydone something or else why would Abhir come till pool from the hall by himself.Muskaan kept denying by no one took stand for her. Kairav looked angry at Muskaan too. It was kind of confirmed that he also believed that she tried risking Abhir’s life just to stop the wedding. Everyone went in, except Goenkas, Sureka claimed how Manjiri was right all along and that Muskaan should stay away from wedding functions completely. Muskaan begged them to believe her but no one did. Kairav rather dragged her to Goenka Ancestral House and told her to just pack her bags and get lost. He wouldn’t want to see her face again. He never imagined that she would cross all her limits in her anger and he completely regrets marrying her. He barges in, and puts out bag and removes her clothes from cupboard,angrily dumps them in the bag and hands it to Muskaan and he leaves for hall again.
Back at bus-stop rears rolled down Muskaan’s eyes on how it still hurts hearing those words of her marriage from him. She wiped her tears and saw her bus. Before boarding, Muskaan takes a glance of the place looks back one last time to the place where she came almost an year back and this wasquite this bus stop was indeed the place where she had met her Bhairav Ji for the first time. She came here for job, fell in love, got married, and now going away from all those things. She will be dropping in an email from Kasauli very next morning to move to different location. She boarded the bus and settled down.
Meanwhile, at the party hall, Abhimanyu informed Akshara that Abhir is Okie, and Akshara thanked god for his safety. She came down running to the hall to inform everyone, and everyone was happy at the news. Akshara looked around for Muskaan but was surprised to not find her anywhere.She inquired about her and Bade papa told her that we have sent her home because of her presence everything bad was happening. Akshara was shocked, and Kairav built on it, she is not just at home, but he has asked her to just leave Udaipur now as she crossed her limits. Everyone else was shocked and Akshara was taken aback by action that Gorilas took!
Akshara tells everyone of how Muskaan is the one who saved Abhir and what happened. Roohi started off by saying that Abhir had dropped the ball from first floor it was exactly in the pool but near plant area. Abhir hadgone there to pick up the ball and there was some water around diving area, andhe slipped. Akshara said something stopped her, but Muskaan instinctively jumped into the pool to help Abhir. Not even once worrying about her own health. Kairav nodded his head in denial as realization jolted him.
Goenkas trashed Kairav, who was already shocked, for asking Muskaan at such time, Kairav had tears in his eyes. He couldn’t believe himself at this point. All those times he had argued with Muskaan came by and how she hadalways mentioned “Abhir ke liye mein apni jaan bhi de sakti hoon…” Kairav races outside the hall and gets into the car. Abhimanyu, Akshara and Manish (gonna call them other members) try to follow him in another car. Manjiri is shocked,and Surekha comes and taunts her on her reckless accusation. Arohi states how everyone is to be blamed for this incident and not just Manjiri. Manjiri continued,“Yeh sab jo ho raha hai, woh uski badua ka asar hai… Abhir ka iss tarah sepaani mein girna aur…” her words are cut short by Arohi who defends Muskaan. Rohan,who was along with Arohi and Abhimanyu, adds on how Muskaan performed right action at right time to even help Abhir chock out some water. Everyone had tears in their eyes and prayed that Muskaan be safe.
Kairav thinks to himself, “How could I blame her? Maine aise maan bhi kese liye ki Muskaan Abhir ko hurt kar sakti hai… Please Muskaan kahin mat jaana…” Kairav frantically tries calling her, but she is does not respond to any of the calls. Kairav prays while driving asking god to just take care Muskaan and to help him reach her soon.
Kairav and other members reach the bus stop, and information centre informs them that bus to Shimla has just left. Kairav does not waste a second to run back to his car and aims to follow the bus. Goenkas are shocked at his action,and they try to stop him, but it’s too late. Akshara is trying to be super careful while following Kairav’s car with other members, “I cannot take any risk this time!” she thought to herself. Roads were relatively empty. Kairav finally sees the bus and drives rashly shocking other members in the other car and manages to overtake the bus to finally be in front of it and stopped. Akshara shouts “Kairav Bhaiyaa…” from her car and other two members were also shocked by Kairav’s stunt. Bus driver applies the break and Muskaan (along with other fellow passengers) jerked forward. She wondered what happened suddenly, while driver shouted, “Marrnaa Hai Kya??” at the psychopath in the car!
Kairav got down from the car and started calling out Muskaan. Muskaan could sense her name being called out but couldn’t hear it as you know comfortable bus hai, AC wala, door-windowsab bandh hai! Kairav walks towards the bus and Akshara, Abhimanyu and Manish got down from their car and walked towards Kairav who couldn’t just hear anything. He starts banging bus door, driver opens it very angrily constantly asking him his intention, and he just gets into the bus to call out Muskaan again! She looks up and is surprised to see Kairav! She gets up from her seat as tears well up again! She is about to excuse herself out to him, but stops herself and settles back down trying to ignore Kairav. Akshara, Abhimnayu and Manish also gets into the bus infuriating some passengers. Kairav goes towards Muskaan’s seat and tries to talkto her, “Please ek baar meri baat sun lo… Mere saath chalo…” and Akshara and Manish also tried talking to her but Muskaan remained unaffected except welled up tears made their way out, which she quietly wiped off. Passenger next to her politely gets up making space for Kairav.
Other passengers request Muskaan and everyone to take the drama outside the bus as they really should be off to Shimla… Some complained about urgent meeting, and some spoke about ill family member. Muskaan quietly got up from her seat, as Kairav held her hand while she tried slipping it off. Other members also deboarded the bus, Abhimanyu got into Kairav’s car and parked it aside for bus to move away while coordinator helped released Muskaan’s baggage. Kairav looks at her helplessly, and drags her towards the car, “Chalo!”. Muskaan jerks off her hand from his grip and shouts at him, “Aapne mujhe samaj kya Rakha hai,Bhairav Ji?” Kairav looks at her, “Dekho, tumhe mujhe sab suna ne ka haqq hai Muskaan, chahe toh do thappad mar lo, yaa joote se… Par abhi ghar chalo…” he said while trying to hold on to her hand and she takes it away… She tells him that she is booking cab now and cannot even think of going back to that place anymore! Kairav snatches her phone, and asks her to just listen to him once. He begs her forgiveness, but she remains adamant, Manish steps forward to support Kairav and request Muskaan, but Muskaan joins her hand in front of him and nods in no.
She questions them again, “Kya mein koi khilona hoon? Jisse jab chahe aap use kar sako?” she paused trying to just control the build-up frustration, but couldn’t and she had to vent out, “Kabhi ghar ke bahar ghasitkar le jaate hai, toh kabhi room se bahar kar diya jaata hai, kabhi kaha jaata hai yeh khushiyo wale mohol se mein dur rahoon toh kabhi mujhse rasam ki Umeed rakhi jaati hai aur jab man chahe tab yeh shaadi ko ek galti kehkar ignore kiya jaata hai toh, kabhi expect kiya jaata hai ek patni ka farz nibhane” Manish and Kairav looked down partly in embarassment, “Che mahine… Che mahine bhi nai hue hai Bhaijeeko gaye, aur yahan jashna mana raha jaa raha hai, unke biwi ki dusri shaadi horahi hai… aur mujhse expect kiya jaa raha hai, ki mein bhi usmein shaamil hojau… Khilone ke tarah bass chalaya jaa raha hai mujhe! Aur mein jootha dikhawanai kar paati hoon jee, jo hai sabke saamne hai, mein khush nai hoon iss shaadi mein toh nai hoon jee, par phir bhi mein sirf aap sab ke liye yeh events mein aati hoon, jaise expect kiya jaata hai, waise karti hoon, naa chahte hue bhi!!” Muskaan breaks down on the ground as she cries her heart out.
Kairav tries to hold her up, but she shows him her hand and stops him, “Naa chahte hue bhi koshish kar rahi thi… Kyunki Amma ne kaha tha ke aap sab, yeh family meri gift hai… Yeh parivaar mujhe Bhaijee ke ek taufa hai jee, ek akhri taufa… Aise mein khud iss baat ko itna seriously lene lagi ke koi bhi mujhe isse alag karta lage usse mein darti thi, phir chahe koi inke kaam mein ho, yaa otherwise – meri galti thi jee… Usually taufa who hota hai, jab woh khud ka ho… Par yeh family toh khud Bhai Jee ki nai thi, toh Bhaijee mujhe isse tofe mein kaise de sakte hai…” Akshara stands shocked with accusation and tries to get down to her. “Muskaan…kaise baatein kar rahi hoon, tum aisa kaise keh sakti ho? Mein Abhinav se, tumse aap sab se sach mein bohot pyaar karti hoon” Muskaan continues to cry as she gets up “Mein bhi karti hoon jee, mein aapke faisle se khush nai hoon, par mein kabhi bhi aapko ya Abhir ko nuksaan nai pahuncha sakti, aap sabne yeh sochna toh dur ki baat hai, yeh baat par aap sab ka pura vishwaas tha ki maine Abhir ko....!” Muskaan couldn't complete her sentence....
Akshara wipes her saying, "I know", and Kairav steps in to apologize but Muskaan is not ready to listen to anyone anymore. “Mein wapas ab uss ghar mein nai aa sakti jahan na meri yaa mujhe lage jahan mere bhai jee ki bhi izzat na ki gai ho” she said joining her hands. Kairav held on to her hand and said, “Dekho Muskaan…” Muskaan cuts him off…
“Nai jee, maine bohot pehle se kehti aayi hoon ki Bhabhi aur yeh” she shouted, pointing at Dr. Birla, “hamesha saath dikhte hai, and aap sabke mann mein bhi wahi tha isiliye galat sirf mein hi banti aayi hoon, but yeh sochiye ke itne time se Arohi didi bhi toh akeli hai, Roohi bhi toh akeli… Kya unhe parivaar ki zaurat nai hai jee?”
She paused, “Che saal! Che saal! Ek commitment mein rahe hai didi, aur woh bhi toh shaadi sirf Roohi ke liye hi kar rahe thena… par phir bhi kisi ne kabhi itna dhyan nai diya!” She looks at Kairav, “Aap ka yeh kehna hai ki ek bacche ko dono parents ki zaurat hoti hai… toh kya Ruhi ko nai thi?”
Muskaan couldn’t stop herself today, “Log bahu aur beti mein fark karte hai… par yahan Goenkas andBirlas toh do betiyon mein hi itna fark karte hai!” she accused Goenkas ofhypocrisy, Manish tried intervening, “Beta, Arohi aur Ruhi apne aap mein khushhai, woh akele nai hai, Birlas aur sab unke saath hai aur…” Muskaan cuts him, “Par hum sab koi nai hai na Bhabhi ke? Bass khoon ka wahi Rishta sabse upar jo Abhiraur iss insaan ka hai….” She said glaring at Abhimanyu. Kairav, Manish andAkshara looked at her slightly feeling on lower side. But, Muskaan continued, “Iss insaan aur inke maa ka sapna hi Akshara Bhabhi aur Abhir ke saath ek family karaha hai.. aur badi chalaki se yeh mere Bhaijee ke saath pahad par chale gaye,aur wahan sirf unhe sharab pilayi! Ek video dekhkar sab ne maan liya ke woh sirf ek accident tha… par mein aaj yeh phir se kehti hoon… yeh inki sochi samjisaazish thi…” Abhimanyu calmly tried calling her out, “Muskaan… Sach mein woh ek hadsaa tha mera iraada nai... Bass… Mein aisa…” Muskaan again showed him her hand, and continued, “Mein kisi se kuch nai kehnachahti hoon, par ab mein wapas kabhi nai aa sakti…” she said wipping her tearsand taking her bags in her hand… Kairav held her hand, “Ruk jao… please…” he said, “Hum ghar chalkar baat karte hai… tumhe mujhe jo sazaa deni hai, dedena.. but please ghar chalo….” Tightening his grip with hope to convince her.
Muskaan couldn’t care less at this point. She remained adamant as she started freeing her hands from his clutches. Kairav looked at their separated hands with tears in his eyes.
“Muskaan!” she heard Akshara callout, “Humare liye naa sahi.. Abhinav ke liye hi sahi…” Muskaan was infuriated at Akshara’s words, she started walking towards “Bass Bhabhi! Aap sab, including amma,sirf aur sirf Bhai jee ka naam le le kar mujhe emotionally sirf blackmail karte aaye ho! Aur mein…” she said, wiping her tears and smiling sarcastically, “mein emotional fool banti aayi hoon!” She nodded in no, “Par ab nai, ab mera faisla nai badlega!” she said as she finally reached face to face with Akshara. She was about to turn, when Akshara held her hand and placed it on her belly, “Iss aane wale bacche ke khatir jo sach mein Abhinav ki shayad akhri gift ho! Iskekhatir ruk jao, Muskaan!” Akshara declared her pregnancy with Abhinav there infront of Muskaan, Manish, Abhimanyu and Kairav who were all shocked. Their eyes widened with shock, and Muskaan looked at Akshara with mixed emotion, Akshara smiled as she continued, “Yeh baat mujhe aaj hi pata chali hai jab Dr. Tintin ne mujhe bataya! Mein yeh baat sabko batana chahti thi, isiliye tumhe bahar bulane bhi aayi thi, Muskaan…” Muskaan recalls how Akshara came to meet her by the pool… “Mein isiliye iss baar Abhir ko dekhkar bhi ek second ke liye kadam rukse gaye aur dimaag chalne laga kaise bachaye usse…” Muskaan is shocked as she recalled how Akshara had stopped mid-way, “Muskaan, Abhir ki jaan bachane keliye thank you,” she said holding her hand, “Ab iske liye bhi ruk jao…” Muskaan was stunned at the request.

I really don't know at this point what will Muskaan decide, but she can stay back and meet Dr. Rohan in the background till baby is here.
