— Aarohi!

Abhimanyu comes running towards Aarohi...

— Kya hua Abhimanyu?

— Woh Neil...

— Neil kya Abhimanyu?

— Neil hum saabko dhoka deke chala gaya Aarohi!

— What!

— Ha! Hum ushe bacha nahi paaye...

Aarohi gets freezed... After sometime Abhimanyu fades... Aarohi now can see Neil standing infront of her...

— Neil! Mujhe pata tha tum mujhe, Rooh ko chodhke nahi jayoge... Neil, tum thik ho gaye! Tum...

— Mein ja raha hu Aarohi, Rooh ka dhiyan rakhna... Alvida Chipkali!

— Nahi Chamgadar you can't do this... Neil!

Aarohi watches that Slowly Neil is fading from her eyesight...

— Neillllll!

Akshara comes running... Then she calmly tries to wake her up...

— Neil, tum thik ho gaye!

Aarohi wakes up jumping...

— Nahi aaru, mein hu...

— Oh... Me... Mera Neil?

— Same condition hai... Rooh call ki hai uthale...

Aarohi picks up the call...

— Matashree, papa kaise hai?

— Papa acche hai beta... Woh abhi so rahe hai...

— No no Matashree... Mujhe papa se milne hospi jana hai...

— Nahi beta, aap nahi aa sakte... Yeha bacche allowed nahi hai...

— Yeah kaisa hospi hai! Bad hospi...

Roohi cuts the call... Aarohi again starts crying...

— Akshu, kitne din jhooth bolungi? Neil kaab thik hoga? Rooh ko kya jawaab dungi? Kaam kaise karungi?

— Aaru, calm down... Saab thik ho jayega...

— Jaab bolti thi chup ho jao taab bhi Neil bolta tha, ajj bolne bol rahi hu to chup hoke baitha hai... Ajeeb ladka hai...

— Aaru... Plzz ghar chal... Rooh needs you...

— Nahi... Mein Neil ko chodhke nahi jaungi...

— Aaru, raat ho gayi hai... Abhi, tauji, papa saab hai... Tu chal, kaal hum Neil ke naam pe puja denge mandir jaake... Dekhna Neil bilkul thik ho jayega...

Aarohi agrees... She goes to watch Neil for the last time... And says herself,

— Neil ko lautna hoga... Mere paas, Rooh ke paas aana hoga...

********************

Its the next day... Aarohi and Akshara along with Manjiri and Swarna goes for Puja... Mimi is unwell due to Neil's condition so she is in home...

Akshara is driving the car and Aaru silently watching outside the window...

When they arrives in the mandir, Akshara says,

— Aaplog aage jaiye... Mein aati hu gadi park karke...

Everyone agrees... Aarohi goes to the mandir and a flashback comes in her mind...

Flashback.

Aarohi and Neil came in the mandir for puja because at that time they were newly married couple... After the puja theu were leaving when pandit ji said,

— Beta, yeha ek rasam hai... Kehete hai ki agar koi pati apne patni ko uthake iss mandir ki paanch chakkar lagata hai, unki jodi shiv parvati ki tarah janmo janmo ka reheta hai...

— Nahi Pandit ji... Neil ko yeah saab karne ki zarurat nahi hai... Agar relationship mein understanding ho to hazar saal bhi ek saath guzar lete hai or agar na ho to aise chakkar lene se kuch nahi hoga...

— Jaisi tumhari marzi beta...

— Neil cha... Kya kar rahe ho!

— Chup chipkali... Tum nahi amnti but mein to manta hu... Mein chakkar lagaunga... Waise tum itni bhari kaab ho gayi?

— Kya! Tum mujhe moti bol rahe hai.. Neil...

— Abb na ladke hum chakkar mein concentrate kare?

— Tumhari marzi...

After completing the chakkars Neil and Aaru were leaving when Aaru saw some woman having chakkars on a path full of kaanchs ( glasses )

— Yeah log kya kar rahe hai Neil? Kaanch ke upar kyu chal rahe hai? Woh bhi matka leke...

— Yeah ek maanta hai bol sakti ho... Yeha mante hai ki agar pati ki tabiyat kharab ho yeah uspe kuch bhi danger aaye to unki patniya aise matke leke kaanch ke upar chalti hai or apne pain ke aage apne pati ka valai chahati hai....

— Bapre! Typical wifes!

— 😆😆

Flashback ends...

— Aaru, kaha kho gayi?

— Mujhe woh karna hai!

— Kya?

— Kaanchwali rasam...

— What! Aaru pagal ho gayi hai kya? Yeah bohot dangerous hai...

— Mujhe maut nahi aayegi Akshu... Agar isse Neil thik ho jaata hai to mein yeah karungi...

— But Aaru... Aaru ruk... Aaru...

Aarohi straight goes and takes a matka on her head and starts walking on the kaanchs with bare feet... She starts mummering,

— Bhagban, mere Neil ko thik kar do... Uske badle mujhe jo bhi dena hoga mein dungi... Mujhe mera Neil wapas karo... Woh apne Chipkali or butterfly ko chodhke nahi jaa sakta... Mein ushe apke paas jaane nahi dungi... Agar iske liye mujhe apse ladna padhe to mein ladungi...

Akshu, swarna and Manjiri watches Aaru silently...

— Aarohi kabhi aisa karegi socha nahi tha...

— Aaru Neil ko abb bhi bohot pyaar karti hai... Baas unke beech ki dooriyan dur ho jaaye...

— Filhaal Neil thik ho woh hi bohot hoga...

— Ji...
