REVATI'S ROOM,

Bhushan and Kaushalya were talking to Revati about everything which they had missed in these 6 years. They were interrupted by a knock on the door. It was Akshat.

AJ: Revati, jaao Maa bula rahi hai aur apni Mummy ko bhi saath le jao.

She nodded and left the room with her mother.

AJ: Papa,.....

Bhushan: Nahi, wo kehne ka haq aapne usi din kho diya tha jis din aapne meri beti ka haath chhod kar kisi doosri aurat ka haath pakad liya tha.

AJ: Papa, mai jaanta hun ki maine bohot galtiyaan ki hai aur aapka mujhse naraaz hona bhi sahi hai. Har baar maine galti ki hai lekin aapne aur Guddan ne har baar meri galti ko maaf kiya hai lekin is baar meri galti ki koi maafi nahi hai. Lekin jo saza mujhe bhagwaan ne di hai wo bhi mujhse bardaasht nahi. Chahe to wo meri jaan le lete lekin Guddan se doori mujhe bardaasht nahi hai.

Bhushan: Lekin is baat ko to nazar andaaz nahi kar sakte na ki unhone meri beti ko mujhse chheen liya hai jis ka kaaran aap aur aapka ye parivaar hai. Kitna bharosa kiya tha maine aap par ki maine apni donon betiyon ko aap ko saunp diya tha lekin us ek din ne mujhse meri donon betiyon ko door kar diya. 6 saalon baad aaj mujhe ek khushi mili hai apni ek beti ko paa kar lekin ek dukh ka pahaad bhi mere sar par hai. Mera dil to ye maanne ko taiyar hai hi nahi ki Guddan mujhe chhod kar chali gayi hai lekin jo sach dikh raha hai use andekha bhi to nahi kar sakta na. Bachpan se use apne palkon par bitha kar rakha tha maine lekin aapke saath shaadi hone ke baad use kaanton par chalna pada. Lekin phir bhi usne wo khushi khushi kar diya sirf aapke aur aapke parivaar ke khaatir. Lekin kabhi bhi uski kisi bhi koshish ko saraaha nahi gaya. Har baar use beizzati sehni padi. Koi aisa pal nahi tha uska is ghar me jab usne apne aap ko saabit karne se apna ek kadam peeche rakha ho. Lekin phir bhi har baar use galat saabit kar diya jaata aur har baar use hi aapka aur aapke parivaar ka bharosa jeetna padta tha. Guddan ne itni kam umar me ek bahu, ek saas, ek patni ki saari zimmedariyan nibhayi aur usme safal bhi huyi. Lekin had to tab ho gayi na jab use apni hi mamta ka saboot dena pada. Ye saabit karna pada ki wo, ek Maa apne bachhe ki qaatil nahi hai. Ek baar soch kar dekhiye, agar koi aap par aisa ilzaam lagata to? Mujhe is dard ka ehsaas hai lekin aap nahi samjhenge. Agar aaj Guddan yahaan hoti to shayad uska dil itna bada hai ki wo aapko is baat ke liye bhi maaf kar deti lekin mai ek Pita hone ke kaaran aapko nahi maaf kar sakta. Mujhe mere dard ke saath, apne beti ke dard ka bhi ehsaas hai. Isiliye jo aapne kiya hai uske liye mujhse maafi ki ummeed to mat hi rakhiye.

He left the room without even listening to his reply. He was crying for the ill fate his daughter had.

DINING ROOM,

Everyone were on the dining table for the lunch but a seat was empty. Dadi was not feeling good to see the chair empty. It was none other than of AK's. So she asked a maid to summon her for lunch only if she is feeling well. The maid returned and said that she will be here within few minutes.

AK came and took her seat.

Dadi: Teri tabiyat ab kaisi hai?

AK: Mai thik hun Dadi.

She saw all the dishes on the table but didn't picked any of them as she didn't liked any of it. She just served some rice for herself and was playing with her spoon as she was least interested in eating the food present in front of her.

Ahaan: Mumma, wo real snake tha?

AK: Nahi bachha, wo ek toy thi.

Ahaan: To phir ab wo kahan hai?
