The funeral pyre was all set to catch a body....
As it set on fire...the cemetery heard a loud shout...

Covering mouth with her pallu...
A wife...still waiting for her husband to come...
Still waiting to be with him...

With the body....her dreams burnt into ashes....

Mind battling with the storm of emotions....
She rushed towards the fire..

Va- Pakhiii! Sambhal khudko!

Vaishali pulled her in her embrace....

P- Aaaaiii! Rohhk...rokiye na!! Samrat ko bulaiye na waapis please...!! Ky...kyun kar Raha hai wo aisa!
Jhutha hai wo! Usne kaha tha wo mere saath rahega humesha!
Wo humesha bhag jata hai!
Kyuun!!??

The group of neighbours were standing there....

W1- Sach to ye hai! Ki pati ki umar bhi patni se Judi hoti hai!
Zaroor is bechari ki hi kismat kharab hai!
Isse shadi hone ke kaaran Bechara Samrat...
Chodo! Ram ram ram!! Tauba tauba!

W2- Galat to nahi keh rahi tum! Upar se bechari Sai par chilla rahi thi!
Iske pati ki umar nahi thi to uspar kyun chillaya!?
Suna hai bahu ulte pair aayi thi!

Their silent talks were not limited to them....but the other ladies of CN as well...

Maybe their perception had changed...

Bk- Sahi keh rahi hai ye log!

So- Ye waqt nahi hai aisi baatein karne ka! Kinki sunn rahi hai aap?

A- Is baare mein hum baad me baat karenge!

The rituals were now over and everyone returned to the house...

The Big Photograph was kept in the Sabha....and all the members were sitting there....

While all were busy here and There...Pakhi was Standing near the photo frame...
Looking at it...

Va- Pakhi! Baith ja beta!

Without giving any answer she sat on the mat...

The rituals were now done...

Va- Pakhi! Mai aati hoon...
Kuch der baad,bahar ek kaam hai!

Without uttering a single word she retired to her room...

She opened her wardrobe and took the necklace set he gifted to her....

She took his shirt and hugged it tightly...

P- Kah..kahan gaye mujhe chod ke tum?
You...you know what??
I had...planned so so much for us!
Tum na bahut bade jhoothe ho! Bahut bade cheater ho! You promised ki...tum! Tum!!
Kyun Samrat! Come and answer me...
I want you....I need you...
Mujhe tumhare paas aana hai!
Tumhare bina nahi reh sakti mai!
Please...

She kept his shirt aside and took her mangalsutra....

P- Please mujhe ye pehna do! Ek baar! Mai kabhi tu...tumhe kabhi nahi sataungi! I am sorry! Maine past me jo bhi kiya uske liye!
Humari trip ka kya?
Solo trip! Ek solo trip bas hum dono ki! You promised me...please..

She could hear noises from down...

She stepped down and went towards Mansi who was sitting with no expressions on face...

P- Aai?

She kept her hand on her shoulder...

M- Patralekha! Tu bhi to ulte pair is ghar me aayi thi na?

P- Aai?

M- Tujhe yaad hai na?

P- Aap kya keh rahi hain Aai?

Bk- Yahi ki ye sab tere kaaran hua hai!

P- Badi mami....aap bhi?

Bk- Jabse tu ulte pair ghar mein aayi hai tabse sab bura ho raha hai!
Pehle Samrat tere kaaran chala gaya aur phir aaj wo hum sabko chod ke chala gaya!

Everyone was standing there listening to them..

P- Badi mami! Wo itni...

Bk- Mujhe teri koi baat nahi Sunni!
Jaa!

P- Aap sab aise kyun khade hain! Apko bhi lagta hai Ki Samrat mere kaaran?
Chup kyun hai boliye Na?

She started yelling...

P- Ab kyun chup hai! Boliye na!
Samrat aaj hote to koi bhi mujhse is tarah baat nahi karta!
Mohit...bolo na...Virat...Karishma...arey koi to bolo!
Theek hai!!
Mat bolo! Aur ab koi mujhe kuch bolega bhi nahi!!

She went back to her room and locked the door...

Here Vaishali came back With Shailesh....

Va- Pakhi kahan hai?? Room mei hai kya?

S- Humein..

Va- Tumse nahi pucha! Karishma?

K- Wo Patralekha bhabhi na room mein abhi gayi!

Va- Accha!

Here...

P- Tumse maine kaha tha na...ki mai tumhare bina nahi reh sakti! To kyun Gaye Tum?
Mai...
Mera pyaar humesha adhura raha hai! Aur aage bhi rahega! Haina??

She was continuously crying hugging his photo...

And here....

M- Mai keh rahi hoon ye Sab uski wajah se hua hai! Wahi ulte pair is ghar me aayi thi! Mere bete ko kha gayi wo!

Bk- Tu sahi keh rahi hai Mansi!
Humein inki shadi karani hi nahi thi!

Va- Kya??
Ye kya bakwaas kar rahe hain aap dono?

A- Apko puri baat pata nahi hai Na Vaishali ji! Par Patralekha ke grihapravesh me jo kalesh hua tha na uska hi nateeja hai ye!

Va- Agar aisa hi hai to mai Pakhi ko yahan se le jaati hoon!

Bk- Nahi! Wo Samrat ki vidhwa hai! Wo kahin nahi jaayegi!

Va- Aap aisa keh bhi kaise sakti hain!?

Bk- Jaise mai rahi thi Patralekha bhi waise hi rahegi!

So(to Karishma)- Ek baar Patralekha ko dekhkar aaja Karishma! Kuch lekar jaa usne subah se kuch khaya nahi hai!

K- Ji Aai!

She took a tray with a glass of juice and some snacks...
And knocked at the door...

K- Patralekha bhabhi!

She tapped on the door...

K- Patralekha Bhabhiii!

She started shouting...
After a zillion shouts she did not get any answer....

K- Aai! Patralekha bhabhi darwaza nahi khol Rahi!
Lock kar diya hai!

So- Agha! Karishma darwaza khulwa!

Everyone came at the door...

Bk- Patralekha darwaza khol!

M- Patralekha!! Khol darwaza!

Va- Pakhi beta please darwaza khol!

She started beating the door...

V- Pakhiiii! Open the door...

S- Pakhi didi! Please darwaza kholiye. Khamakha daraiye mat sabko!

D- Please Sai! Tu aise mat bol!
Patralekhaa! Please darwaza khol...mai ab tujhe kabhi bura nahi bolungi! Please! Khol...Tu to mujhe Tai bolti hai na! Khol! Please!

Mo- Humein darwaza todna hoga!
Aap sab side ho jaiye!

Everyone moved aside...

D- Pulkit! Patralekha ne kahin...

Pu- Devi! Nahin!!!

Virat and Mohit banged on the door numerous times and finally opened it...
