My Papa
Pihu was upset with Mr Khadoos. He went back to being mean to her mom instead of her caring Prince Charming. She was so mad at him that she even refused to talk with him earlier when he got her cupcakes.
Pihu doesn't like anyone who upsets Ms Sood even if it was her Prince Charming. So she was being sad at Sara Maasi's wedding because her mumma told her that they would be leaving after today.
Pihu didn't understand the complex emotions she felt at Ms Sood declaration. Ms Sood said Pihu will have more adventures with just the two of them. But it would mean she won't see Mr Khadoos anymore and that made her sad even if she was mad at him.
So Pihu was eating an cupcake to soothe her sadness when Maithri Maasi screamed and everyone rushed to her. Everyone kept shouting the baby is coming. Pihu got excited and wanted to see the baby so she ran towards Maithri Maasi, but Ishaan bhai lifted her up and said Pihu can't meet the baby yet.
Ms Sood and Mr Khadoos took Maithri Maasi to the hospital leaving Pihu with the rest of them. Pihu didn't know how they could fight with each other and make up with each other so soon, when Pihu was still mad with Mr Khadoos.
It must be because Ms Sood was so forgiving Pihu decided and felt little happy that if Mr Khadoos and Ms Sood didn't fight anymore then she doesn't have to stay mad at Mr Khadoos as well.
Pihu didn't want to spend her last day fighting with Mr Khadoos. She decided to make him a friend card again and give it to him to patch up.
So she went in search of her Nani, her mumma recently told her that she is the world best Nani, so Pihu hoped her Nani would have the items she needed to make a new card.
But her Nani was busy talking with Sara Maasi, they were both crying that Pihu didn't want to disturb them. She decided to ask Mr Handsome instead and turned to leave when her Nani told something to Sara Maasi that surprised Pihu.
"Neeraj is going to miss his baby's arrival. Just like Ram missed Pihu's. But what could we have done back then, we were helpless and couldn't make Ram meet his daughter. But trust me Sara, soon everything will get better with the arrival of my new grandchild. Ram and Priya will get back together and Pihu will finally get to have her Papa back in her life. " her Nani spoke up and then cried some more while Pihu walked away more confused as she wondered why Ms Sood never told Pihu that Mr Khadoos was her Papa.
Pihu didn't get to make her friendship card that day because she was too sad. But the next day, her mumma told Pihu that they would have to attend the interview first before leaving since they don't break their promises.
So Ms Sood got Pihu ready and let her play with her craft making items. Pihu remembered that Mr Khadoos brought her this one when she got back from the hospital and played with her the whole day.
He even gave her a coupon, but she already used it for her Mumma's birthday wala surprise. So decided she could make him a coupon this time before leaving as a gift.
Pihu didn't show even show it to Ms Sood because she wanted to give it to her Papa by herself. If Ms Sood and Mr Khadoos were no longer fighting, she hoped that Ms Sood would allow Mr Khadoos to join her in their adventure as well.
Pihu believed that it would be more fun with Ms Sood and Mr Khadoos together with her on their adventure.
*****************
Priya knew things were tense in the Kapoor Mansion. All her plans to help had backfired and Mr Kapoor is mad at her. The best thing to do would leave as he asked, but she wanted to help him with the interview.
So she joined the interview with Pihu and for the most part the interview went well, even Pihu acted her part easily calling Mr Kapoor as Papa. Priya thought Pihu was mad at Mr Kapoor yesterday, but they both seemed to sorted it out because Pihu refused to leave Mr Kapoor's side throughout the interview.
"Is Pihu really Ram Kapoor's daughter? . There is a rumour that you had an affair and Pihu is the result of it" the interviewer asked Priya suddenly that she was too shocked to respond as she turned to look at her innocent daughter hoping she didn't hear the question.
But Mr Kapoor definitely heard the question as he got out of the chair in anger asking the interview to leave immediately and that they had no sense and how dare they act insensitive questions with a child in their midst and so on.
All the while Priya worried about Pihu's reaction. But her daughter looked completely at ease even a shouting Mr Kapoor doesn't seem to startle her. Then she got down from her chair and walked to the interviewer on her own that Priya rushed to stop her, but she was too late.
"Mr Khadoos is my Papa. Even my Nani told so. Right Mr Khadoos. Tell them you are my Papa. " Pihu spoke up and looked up to him excitedly.
Mr Kapoor looked surprised by her statement and went silent a little. It must have been only few seconds, but his lack of response made her daughter so upset.
"Why aren't you telling them, you are my Papa. Ms Sood didn't tell me you are my Papa either. Tell them, you are my Papa, Mr Khadoos" Pihu began to demand rather loudly at his silence. Priya tried to console her daughter, but she paid no heed to her words and kept crying in her arms.
She become so inconsolable that Mr Kapoor had to lift her up in his arms and assure her that she was right and he was her Papa that she needs to stop crying because it was breaking his heart.
Only then Pihu stopped crying, but still clinged to him the entire day. Priya's plan to leave came to a stop because she couldn't seperate her daughter from Mr Kapoor the entire day, even now she was sleeping in the guest room with him by her side.
Priya didn't know what was going on Mr Kapoor's mind either on Pihu's outburst. She fretted and fretted some more, she called and shouted at her mother and asked her if she told Pihu the truth.
But her mother declined doing so and even then Priya couldn't believe her. It stung that just when Priya thought she was over her mom's betrayal, this instance reminds her that she still couldn't trust her.
Then Mr Kapoor knocked on her door and Priya feared that she would have to answer him about Pihu's sudden outburst. She didn't know what she could tell him.
Priya obviously can't tell him the truth and lose Pihu, but he must have lots of questions regarding Pihu's behaviour. So she didn't expect Mr Kapoor to say sorry first.
"I am sorry Priya. I was selfish and for a deal, I made the little girl confused about everything. I shouldn't have agreed to ask your help in the first place. I know Krish would be angry by what I done today, but I couldn't see her so upset. I do wish she was my child, but we both know that isn't the truth.
I don't like talking to you about Krish. And I am no one to give advise to you either. But for Pihu's sake, you better tell her the truth about Krish. She would only be happy to know her, Mr handsome is her Papa. You know how Pihu and I always get on the wrong foot, even yesterday she was mad at me over something I don't know what, but this whole interview and pretending obviously confused her.
She keeps calling me Papa and asked me everytime to assure her that she was right. So obviously you can't tell her anything soon, but don't wait for too long either. She is asleep now and you can go and sleep with her. I will have to go to office to sort out the minister's issue. Don't worry about me, Adi told me, Pihu's outburst worked in our favor and minister seems to believe we are family and willing to sign the deal asap. "Mr Kapoor spoke up and walked away from the room leaving Priya distraught by his words.
Priya assumed she would be enough for her daughter and that the two of them would be all the family she needs, but Pihu's outburst and now Mr Kapoor's words made her question everything.
The guilt and regret consumed her as she walked towards the room, her daughter was sleeping and sat beside her. Everytime Priya tried to close her eyes, her daughter's outburst calling Mr Kapoor Papa kept running through her mind and she couldn't even sleep.
Because until now, Priya believed she could walk away from Mr Kapoor after helping him. But now, she didn't know if she can keep him in the dark anymore not when her daughter gotten too attached to him.
Just then her eyes flickered to the pocket in Pihu's dress where she hid the card, she made for Mr Kapoor earlier. Priya reached out to check on it and found her heart breaking apart at the sight of the card her daughter lovingly made for her Papa.
It was a simple card written and decorated by her daughter. But each line written on them only made Priya realise what a fool she had been to deprive her daughter from having a father.
"I am so happy you are My Papa, Mr Khadoos. I only had time to make one coupon but I already written what I want to do with you in it. I want you to join, me and Ms Sood in our adventures. You are my genie right, so you got to fulfill my wish. "
As Priya clutched the card and cried that night over her daughter's pain and how she inadvertently caused everything. She didn't know Mr Kapoor was doing the same as he kept replaying Pihu's words over and over again in his mind.
While Pihu slept, her two parents remained wide awake by her single outburst. And maybe it was all that was needed for them to work their way back to each other for their daughter's sake.
