JINDAL BHAVAN,
NEXT MORNING,

AK wakes up from her sleep which she had hardly caught for just 2 hours because of the bad headache she was having since last night. She got up from the bed and started searching around her room but she couldn't find anything and then she remembered that now she is in Jindal Bhavan and not in her own house. She gets out of the room to go to Revati's room but was welcomed by none other than Antara. Antara was hell shocked to see her in AJ's shirt.

Antara: Ye to Akshat ka shirt hai na, tumne ise kyun pehna hai?

AK: Subah subah tumse jhagda karne ka mood nahi hai mujhe. Ja kar apna kaam karo(she said holding her head)

Antara: Jhagda to karungi hi na tumne mere pati ka shirt pehna hai. Ab jab tak mujhe mera jawaab nahi mil jata mai yahan se nahi jane wali.

AK: Oh, I am so sorry. Mujhe to yaad hi nahi tha ki unki koi patni bhi hai.

She walked past her to the stairs trying hard to ignore her.

Antara: Baat ghumane ki zaroorat nahi hai. Seedhe seedhe jawaab do, kahin aisa to nahi ki tum mere pati ko apne khoobsurati ke jaal me phasana chahti ho.

AK: Shut up!! Just shut up! Tumhari bakwaas sunne ke liye nahi hun mai is ghar me. Isiliye behtar yehi hoga ki tum abhi isi waqt mere saamne se chali jao.

Antara: Kyun jaun mai? Ye mere pati ka ghar hai to mai yehi rahungi. Tum jao yahaan se.

AK: I said just keep your creepy mouth shut! Just leave me.

She felt a hard pain at the back of her head. It was like someone was continuously hitting her hard from a hammer. She walked down few steps holding her head but each step of hers increased her pain more than ten times. Giving up, she sat on one of the steps, resting her head on the side railing and pulling her hair expecting that it would reduce her pain. She started screaming coz of her pain. Each scream echoed in her ears which only helped to intensify her pain. She screamed louder this time which made all the members of the family rushed to her. AJ and Revati went to her side. She was looking devastated with her messed hair, swollen-red eyes, wet cheeks and bleeding lips which she had bite to reduce her pain.

Revati: Di, kya hua?

AK: Me..mera.... sar... Uhhhh.... Nah..nahi......ho...ra...

Revati: Di, please shaant ho jaaiye. Kuchh nahi hoga.

AJ: Revati, ise hospital le jana hoga. Vardaan, gaadi nikalo.

Revati: Nahi, please doctor ko yehi bula lijiye. Please...

AJ: Haalat dekho iski.

Revati: Please inhe room me le chaliye aur doctor ko bulaiye. Pleaseeeee...

AJ: Ok.

He picks her up in his arms while she snuggled into him clutching him tightly as if her life was dependent on him. She was crying uncontrollably. He took her into her room and laid her down on the bed. He was about to leave but she holds him close and starts crying more. He tries to console her but to no avail. She pushed her head back into the pillow expecting it's softness to reduce her pain. She crushed the bedsheet in one of her fists enduring the pain and the other was holding his hand. She started crying more and more and atlast she fainted as the pain became unbearable for her.

Doctor: Abhi behosh hai ye, kuchh der me inko hosh aa jayega. Shayad, inhone apni daily medicines nahi li isiliye unki ye haalat hai. Jaise hi inhe hosh aaye aap unhe unki medicines de dijiye. Aur dhyaan rakhiye ki ye zyaada stress na le.

AJ: Thankyou doctor.

The doctor leaves.

Revati: Di ke medicines yahaan nahi hai, mai abhi ja kar laati hun.

AJ: Revati tum yehi ruko, Vardaan chala jayega. Tum use us medicine ka naam batado.

Revati: Naam to yaad nahi hai. Saari dawaiyan us ghar me hai. Shayad, is medicine ki pic hogi mere paas. Mai check karti hun.

AJ: Ok.

She finds the pic and shares it to Vardaan and he leaves to bring the medicine.

AJ: Matlab isi dawaayi ke liye wo kal raat tumhare paas aana chahti thi.

Revati: Mere paas? Kal raat?

AJ: Haa.

Flashback,

After speaking to him, she goes back to her room to sleep but she starts searching for something. He observes her and questions about it but she ignored him. She was about to leave the room to go to Revati but he stopped her.

AJ: Kahaan ja rahi ho?

AK: Revati ke paas?

AJ: Jab mai upar aa raha tha to uske room ka darwaza band tha. Shayad, wo so gayi.

AK: Wo so gayi?

AJ: Ha.

AK: Ok.

AJ: Kuchh.....

Before he could speak further she goes back to her room and lays down on the bed.

Flashback ends.

Revati: Shayad wo mere paas medicines ke liye hi aana chahti thi. Lekin mere paas nahi the.

AJ: Mujhe bhi wahi laga. Kya problem hai ise? I mean aise achanak se kya hogaya ise? Kal tak to thik thi ye.

Revati: Wo Di ko kabhi kabhi aise attacks aate rehte hai.

AJ: Aate rehte hai matlab? Kuchh to reason, koi bimaari ya kuchh?

Revati: Mujhe nahi pata, agar ye apne medicines skip kar deti hai to usually aisa hota.

AJ: Wo medicines kis liye?

Revati: Kaha na mujhe nahi pata.....

AK: Nah...nahi....no....not again....no....plea....please......no....

She was murmuring in her unconscious state. Everyone's attention was back to her. Revati caressed her head to calm her.

Revati: Di, kuchh nahi hua hai. Sab thik hai, ham sab hai aapke paas. Di, aankhein kholiye.

AK: No...no.....na..nahi....NOOO!!!!!

She woke up with a loud scream. She started crying again. Revati just hugged her to provide her with comfort she needed but she wasn't successful in doing so.

Revati: Di, kuchh nahi hua hai. Calm down!! Please. Everything's fine.

AK: Wo...wo car, wo...ac...accii.... accident, w...wo..wo..acci.. accident......mer...meraa...bachha... usne...usne....mere bache....bache ko....maar diya....maar...maar diya usne.....(she spoke between her sobs)

Revati: Kuchh nahi hua hai, koi accident nahi hua hai. Trust me sab thik hai.(she said cupping her face but she jerked her hands away)

AK: NAHI!!! Usne ....usne maar diya...mera...mere bache ko maar diya usne.....us accident me...maar diya usne....MERA BACHHA!!!

Revati was trying hard to console her but she wasn't listening to her. Vardaan returns with the medicines and she forcefully made her have it with a glass of water. AJ was observing her and then he just pulled her into his embrace hiding her in his chest. She was sobbing and he was caressing her hair to calm her. After few minutes, she calms down and when he pulls himself away to see her, he finds her eyes closed and gets worried.

Revati: Ghabrane ki zaroorat nahi hai, wo bas so gayi. Is dawaayi se neend aati hai.

AJ: Ok.

He makes her lay down on the bed carefully and covers her with the blanket. Everyone leaves the room to let her rest.

LIVING ROOM,

AK was descending the stairs speaking to her driver on the phone.

AK: Arey, aap samajh nahi rahe hai, it's a paid leave. Aap ko bachhon se zyaada injury huyi hai. Jab tak aap poori tarah se thik nahi ho jate tab tak aap kaam par nahi aayenge and it's final.

She ends the call and looks at everyone who were looking at her with shock.

AK: Aise kyun dekh rahe hai aap sab mujhe? Aur Revati tumne mujhe uthaya kyun nahi mujhe shooting ke liye jaana hai. Late ho jaati mai agar mai nahi uthti to.

Revati: Di, aap shooting ke liye ja rahe hai?

AK: Ha, aur mera shooting bag kahaan hai? Rajiv ne yahaan kyun la kar rakha tha mujhe samajh nahi aa raha hai.

She asks one of the maids to search for it.

Revati: Aapki tabiyat thik nahi hai, aapko rest karna chahiye. Shooting baad me bhi ho sakti hai na.

AK: Kuchh nahi hua hai mujhe.

Revati: Di, abhi aap...

AK: Revati, wo kuchh ghanto pehle ki baat thi, ab mai bilkul thik hun.

Revati: Lekin Di.....

AK: Dekho pehle hi bohot late ho chuka hai, mujhe pehle mere ghar ja kar fresh bhi hona uske baad set par bhi jana hai. Aur rahi baad shooting ki to pehle hi mai bohot leaves le chuki hun.

Revati: Aap bas ek din off par thi.

AK: Whatever!

She gets her bag and starts arranging it.

AK: Kuchh bhi nahi hai isme. Kya lekar jaungi mai?

Revati: Di, mai kar deti hun.

AK: Rehne do, mai kar lungi. Kuchh kehna hai to bolo.

Revati: Driver bhi nahi hai aap kaise jaayengi.

AK: Maine cab book kar li hai. It will be here anytime. Aur tum in excuses ke alaawa kuchh bhi bol sakti ho. And yes, mai kuchh der baad Rajiv ko car lekar bhejungi, tum ghar ja kar apna aur Ahaan ka jo bhi samaan lana ho la lena.

Revati: Aur Di aapka?

AK: Mai shooting ke baad wahin jaungi to mai apna samaan wahan se la lungi.

Revati: Di, aaj 20 hai NGO ke account me paise transfer karna hai.

AK: Oh, no! In sab ke beech me to NGO ke baare me bhul hi gayi thi. Checkbook ghar par hi hoga mai Rajiv se check bhej dungi. Thanks yaad dilane ke liye. Aur kuchh?

Revati: Aaj aapka appointment hai.

AK: Kisse?

Revati: Dr. Mathew se.

Ahaan: Doctor se appointment kyun, Mumma?

They were shocked to listen Ahaan's voice as they weren't expecting him to listen it.

AK: Wo bas aise hi.

Ahaan: Mumma???

AK: Wo doctor mere bohot bade fan hai isiliye mujhse milne ke liye appointments fix karte rehte hai. Revati, tum unse keh dena ki aaj meri shooting hai to mai nahi aa sakti.

Revati: Di.....

AK: It's Ok, wo samajh jayenge. Tum keh dena, mai nahi aa sakti.

She gets a message of her cab being arrived.

Revati: Breakfast to kar lijiye jane se pehle.

AK: It's Ok. Mai late ho jaungi. Set par kuchh kha lungi.

She started to leave but turns when Ahaan calls her. He throws an apple towards her which she catches.

Ahaan: Breakfast ke bina ghar se bahaar nahi jate.

AK: Ok boss! Aur haa, Maasi ko zyaada pareshaan mat karna aur medicines time par lena aur haa, rest bhi karlena. No games and no exertion!!

Ahaan: Mumma, aapko late ho raha tha na.

AK: Ja rahi hun, Bye!

He kisses her and she turns to leave...

AJ: Ms. Kapoor, listen...

AK: Mr. Jindal, I am really being late, Talk to you later.

AJ: But...

She leaves.

AJ: Ye ladki kisi ki sunti kyun nahi?

Dadi: Revati beta tumne use roka kyun nahi?

Ahaan: Dadi, AJ uncle, Mumma is on work mode to wo aise hi behave karti hai. Hai na Maasi?

Revati: Ha.

AJ: Work mode?

Ahaan: Ha, work mode matlab Mumma ko set ke alaawa kuchh nahi dikhega aur na hi koi excuse sunayi dega. Kaam se pehle kuchh nahi.

Dadi: Par apni sehat ka to dhyaan dena hoga na.

Ahaan: Kya hua Mumma ko?

AJ: Kuchh nahi, wo breakfast nahi kiya na usne isiliye Maa ne aisa kaha.

Ahaan: Oh, Ok. Mai rest karne ja raha hun. Arya to phir se so bhi gayi.

AJ: Ok.

He leaves to his room.

AJ: Revati, mujhe us NGO ke baare me poochna tha.

Revati: Di ne wo NGO 4 saal pehle banaya tha. Us me rehne wale bachhe di ki zindagi hai. Wo koi normal NGO nahi hai, wo Di ka ghar hai, wo ghar jis me Di ka dil basta hai, jahaan unki khushiyan rehti hai.

AJ: Mai kuchh funds....

Revati: Achha hua ye baat aapne Di se nahi poocha.

AJ: Kyun?

Revati: Kyunki wo seedha mana kar deti.

AJ: Lekin problem kya hai?

Revati: Di ne aaj tak us NGO ko akele sambhala hai. Karan ne bhi bohot baar Di se is baare me baat ki lekin unhone mana kar diya.

AJ: Any specific reason?

Revati: Wo Di ka apna ghar hai, wo Di ke apne bachhe hai, unke apne bhai behen hai. Di ne kabhi unhe anaath (orphan) nahi samjha aur na hi kisi ko un par taras kha kar unki madad lene ke liye tayar huyi. Aksar log aise bachhon par sympathy dikha kar unki help ke liye saamne aa jate hai lekin kabhi unke dukh ko samajhkar unke saath reh kar use door karne ki koshish nahi karte. Aur Di ko ye baat bilkul bhi nahi pasand. Isiliye wo pehle hi in sab ke liye mana kar chuki hai.

AJ: Baat to uski sahi hai lekin phir bhi we can try for once.

Revati: Wo nahi maanne wali. Lekin agar aap chahte hai to aap baat kar sakte hai.

AJ: Ok. I will talk to her.

EVENING,
AK'S ROOM,

AK has already returned from her shoot and was arranging her clothes in the wardrobe when Revati comes to her.

Revati: Di, ye rahi aapki saari medicines.

AK: Thankyou!

Revati: Di!

AK: Bolo kya hua.
Revati: Aap kal se pareshaan hai  sab thik to hai na.

She gets thinking.

Revati: Di aap mujhse share kar sakti hai.

AK: Karan ne kaha ki mujhe sab sach bata dena chahiye.

Revati: Use kaise pata??

AK: Use kuchh nahi pata bas usne mujhse kaha ki jo bhi baat hai mujhe wo bata dena chahiye.

Revati: Dekha jaye to wo sach hi keh raha hai na.

AK: Tum bhi aisa keh rahi ho. Tum jaanti ho na ye sach saamne nahi aa sakta.

Revati: Lekin Di ek na ek din kisi bhi tarah sach saamne aa hi jayega na. Isiliye usse achha ye hoga ki aap hi us sach ko sab ke saamne le aaye.

AK: Nahi Revati, Mai ye sach Ahaan ko nahi bata sakti.

Ahaan: Kounsa sach Mumma?

They both look at the door to find AJ standing with Arya and Ahaan.

AK: Ahaan, aap upar kyun aaye? Aap ko seedhiyan chadhne se mana kiya hai na maine.

She spoke trying to divert the topic.

Ahaan: Mumma, AJ uncle mujhe aur Arya ko lekar aaye. Mai khud chal kar nahi aaya. Aur aap bataiye ki aap kounse sach ki baat kar rahe the.

Revati: Ahaan wo Mumma aapse ek sach chupa rahi hai.

AK was hell shocked as she feared that Revati would spill the truth which didn't went unnoticed by AJ.

Ahaan: Kounsa sach?

Revati: Ye sach ki...

Ahaan: Kya?

Revati: Ki aap ek week tak school nahi jayenge.

AK exhaled her breathe which she didn't knew she was holding for so long.

Ahaan: Kyun?

Revati: Kyunki doctor ne aapko rest karne ke liye kaha na. Jab aap aur Arya thik ho jayenge, tab aap donon school jayenge.

Ahaan: It's Ok, Mumma. Mai achhe se padhayi karunga aur har baar ki tarah is baar bhi first aaunga.

AK: Good! Lekin aap log upar kyun aaye?

Ahaan: Mumma, AJ uncle mere liye new cupboard lekar aaye. Mera saara samaan usme rakhna hai.

AK: Chaliye mai kar deti hun.

Ahaan: Ham sab saath me karenge.

AK: No, you will rest.

Ahaan: Ok, mai sirf dekhunga.

AK: Chaliye.

Revati, Arya and Ahaan left and when She was about to follow them, AJ stops her.

AJ: Tum sach me kuchh chhupa rahi ho na usse?

AK: None of your business.

AJ: Tum kabhi kisi se seedhe se baat nahi kar sakti kya? Ya to aise tedhe jawaab deti ho ya phir jhoot bolti ho.

AK: Nahi kar sakti. Agar aapko itni hi problem ho rahi hai to aap baat hi mat kariye na.

AJ: Mai bhi koi mara nahi ja raha hun tumse baat karne ke liye. Mai to bas itna chahta tha ki tum us bachhe se itne jhoot na bole ki baad me tumhe pareshaani ho.

AK: Pareshani mujhe hogi na to mai sambhal lungi. Wo mera beta hai to mai handle kar lungi. Aapko apni naak beech me ghusane ki zaroorat nahi hai. Isiliye aapki naak itni lambi hote ja rahi hai.

AJ: Meri naak mere paas hi hai, aur lambi bhi nahi huyi hai.

AK: Ha, haa, mujhe to dikh hi raha hai.

AJ: Tum kuchh.......

Their argument came to halt when they heard Arya and Ahaan calling them from downstairs.

ARYA'S ROOM,

AK and Revati were arranging his clothes and all other things in the cupboard while AJ was sitting on the bed with Arya and Ahaan sorting out their toys. Ahaan was keeping some of his toys aside from which a spherical box was about to fall off the bed but before it could fall AK holds it in time.

(Remember Zoya's musical box from Qubool hai🤭)

AK: Ahaan, kitni baar kaha hai aapse ise sambhaal kar rakhiye.

Ahaan: Sorry Mumma.

AK: It's Ok. Agli baar se dhyaan se rakhiye.

Ahaan: Mumma, aap ise apne paas kyun nahi rakhte.

AK: Ye mera nahi aapka hai Ahaan, isiliye ise aap hi rakhenge. Lijiye.

Ahaan: Mumma, aapne kaha tha ki wo box itna bada isiliye hai kyunki aise do sets the, aur ek kahaan hai.

She gets thinking about his words but his call bring her back to her senses.

Ahaan: Mummaa!!

AK: Haa, Wo doosra set bhi aapke paas jald aa jayega, aapki Mumma uske liye bohot mehnat kar rahi hai.

Ahaan: Wo kahin kho gayi hai kya?

AK: Bas chhup gayi hai, kisi ke saamne nahi hai. Lekin aap tension mat lijiye aapki Mumma use aapke paas jald layengi aur sab ek kar dengi.

Ahaan: Ok. I will be waiting for it.

DINING ROOM,

Everyone was having dinner and then Dadi clears her throat to grab everyone's attention.

Dadi(to AK): Beta, kal to teri shooting nahi hai na.

AK: Nahi, wo kal Maha Shivratri hai na usi ki chutti hai.

Dadi: Mai janti thi isiliye pehle se hi sab intezam karwa liya tha.

AK: Intezaam? Kis liye?

Dadi: Kal subah hamare ghar me Maha Shivratri ki puja hogi.

AJ: Wo to har saal hoti hai na, Maa.

Dadi: Tu pehle meri poori baat sunega.(he nods) Maine Pandit ji se baat ki thi, Bachhon ke suraksha ke liye ek pooja rakhne ke liye. Unhone kaha ki kal ka mahurat sahi rahega. Isiliye shaam ko pooja rakhi jayegi.

AK: Thankyou Dadi. Maine to socha hi nahi tha aur aapne kar bhi diya.

Dadi: Tere liye kuchh bhi meri bachhi. Aur khaane ke baad mere kamre me aa jana, tujhse kuchh kaam hai.

AK: Ji zaroor.

DADI'S ROOM,

AK comes to her room and finds Dadi arranging some clothes and jewellery on the bed. She knocks on the door.

Dadi: Andar aa ja, ye sab karne ki zaroorat nahi hai tujhe. Kabhi bhi aa sakti hai tu.

AK just smiles in return.

Dadi: Ye tere liye.

She hands her a saree and a box of jewellery to her.

AK: Dadi, lekin ye sab...

Dadi: Tu Dadi bulati hai na mujhe(she nods) to mere taraf se tere liye ek tohfa samajh bas. Kal hamare ghar ki pehli puja hai tere saath to itna to kar hi sakti hun na.

AK: Lekin maine to pehle bhi pooja ki hai na.

Dadi was some what shocked as she thought that she was really Guddan.

AK: Pehle din aate hi aarti ki thi na maine.

Dadi: Wo to bas aarti thi, ye puja hai jo tu karegi.

AK: Aapki bahu ke hote huye puja mai kyun karungi. Mai to bas baaki sadasyon ki tarah us pooja ka ek hissa rahungi.

Dadi: Jaisa tu samjhe, lekin ye pehen kar puja me aana. Mujhe achha lagega.

AK: Ji zaroor.

Dadi kisses on her forehead and AK leaves to her room.
