Kishori is taking music classes for her students in the music room.
"Ammamma..." Anurag's voice made Kishori look at him, but then she resumed her class, ignoring him.
Anurag hesitantly entered the class and walked towards her. Then he kneeled down in front of her, touching her feet.
"Ammammaa...please?!"
She canceled the class and the students also dispersed. Kishori stood up and about to go, but Anurag stopped her.
"Ammammaa... please meri baat suniye..?! yeh sab kuch ithna jaldi ho gaya, ki mujhe vakt hi nahi mila.."
"13 saal kya kam pad gaya tha?!"
"Main jaanta hu, aap mujhse bahut naraaz ho, hona bhi chahiye.... agar aapki jagah main hota, toh main bhi yahi karta.... par Ammammaa, mere situation ese tha... bachpan mein darr tha, kahi uss aadmi mere Maa aur Baaba ko kuch karlenge, isiliye chup tha.... phir jab, mujhe himmat aaya toh usse jald se jald police ke hawaale karna tha....maine isiliye Kolkata gaya tha..... Uss aadmi ko uske kiye ka saza mile, aur voh poora hote hi, main aapke paas vaapas aa jaate....par.... jab mujhe yeh pata chala, ki jo Anurag mere ghar mein tha, voh Manik hai....and mujhe apni Nanni ki khushi ke liye yeh sab...."
Kishori silently heard everything, and then she placed her palm on his cheeks, lovingly. Kishori is sitting on the sofa, with Anurag beside her.
She looked at the photo frame on the wall,

"Jab Ram and Priya tujhe iss ghar mein lekar aaya tha, tab mujhe tumhe apnane mein bahut vakt lagi... main iss dhuvida mein thi, ki kahi Ram ne tumhe apna beta bana kar koyi bhul toh nahi kar raha hai, khoon ka rishta nahi hai na!!,.... par dheere dheere, tum apna vyavahar se, apna pyaar se meri sare dhuvida door kar di... tujhe apni pota bana ke garv mehsoos huyi. Aur aaj bhi jab tumhe dekhta hu, toh mujhe meri Ram ki yaad aati hai.... tujh mein uska jhalak nazar aati hai.......
Par...aaj main phir se ek dhuvida mein phass gayi hu.... aaj achanak main yeh kaise maan lu ki tum mera pota nahi hai?!..."
"Nahi Ammamma.... main aaj bhi aur aage bhi iss ghar ka hi rahega..."
Kishori smiled, "Main jaanti hu... bas main yeh kaeh rahi thi ki main tumhe Anurag nahi maan sakti, tum humesha mere liye mera Sidhart hi rahega"
Anurag hugged her....
"Aur tum jab chaho Anurag ban kar uss ghar mein bhi reh sakte hai, aur Sidharth ban kar iss ghar mein bhi"
"Amms..." Kishori immediately looked at her right and saw Nandini standing there with her most soulful smile. She noticed the glow on her granddaughter's face...her eyes brimmed up with tears of happiness.
Kishori stood up and hugged Nandini, "Mera Kanna... Nandu... kitne mahine ho gayi!...aur yeh... muskurahat, yeh toh saalo baad dekh rahi hu"
She then kissed her forehead, "Nandu, Manik!!...kya sach mein?!"
