Scene starts in RV's house,

Rajvansh was in his room....working on his laptop. His face stiff, a frown forming on his forehead as he concentrated on his work.

Just then he heard the sound of the turning of the door knob. A cute girl of 7 years of age came inside with a cute pout. She was revealed to be Prathna, Rajvi's 7 years old daughter.

Prathna: Papa.....

A genuine smile appeared on RV's face and he pulled Prathna in his arms.

Rv: Aaj neendu nahi aa rahi kya meri cutie pie ko?

Prathna: Papa...maine aapko kitni baar bola hain ki mujhe cutie pie mat bulao....mera naam Prathna hain.

Rv(chuckling): Accha baba nahi bulata....bata...ab tak soyi kyun nahi?

Prathna: Mujhe neend nahi aa rahi hain....mujhe Harry potter dekhna hain.

Rv: Par abhi toh raat ke 12 baj rahe hain...kal school nahi jaana?

Prathna(hiting RV slightly): Buddhu! Kal toh Saturday hain. Saturday ko school thodi hota hain?

Rv: Oh haan.....par itni raat ko main aapko screen time nahi de sakta baccha. Par main aapko padh kar suna sakta hoon. Kyun? Chalega?

Prathna: Okay....par theek se padhna....taa ki mujhe acche se feelings aaye🤌

Rv(chuckling): Done...par pehle aapke baal baandh doon?

Prathna agreed. Rv settled Prathna down on the bed and started tying her hair.

Prathna: Pata hain aapko papa....aaj school mein jo Rayan hain na....usne mujhe propose kiya.

Rv choked on air hearing this.

Prathna gave him some water.

Rv: Kya? Tu ne teacher ko complain nahi kiya? Arrey usko toh class ke bahar dono haath aur paer upar utha kar khada kar dena chahiye tha.....(making a cute yet angry pout)(mumbling)....batameez kahi ka.

Prathna stood up from RV's lap and spoke.

Prathna: Calm down papa...calm down. Apni yeh pessessionness....

Rv: Possessiveness.....

Prathna: Baaton ko mat pakdo....uske peeche ki feelings ko samjho papa.

Rv nodded.

Prathna: Rayan koi mera boyfriend nahi hain fr.....

Rv(frowning): Fr ka matlab?

Prathna: Don't interpret.....

Rv: Interrupt?

Prathna: Fir se words ko pakda?

Rv: Accha sorry...continue.....

Prathna: Haan....toh yeh Rayan jo hain vo mera current bf nahi hain. Mera koi bf nahi hain....aur na hi kabhi tha.....par ho sakta hain ki vo baad mein aapka damaad bann jaaye par usmein abhi bohotttttt der hain....tab tak chill....

Rv(in mind): Itna bada jhatka de kar kehti hain "chill". Mera bas chale toh uss Rayan ko "cheel (eagle)" ke saath India se bahar bhej doon.

Prathna swapped her fingers bringing Rv back from the trance.

Prathna: Kya soch rahe ho mann mein? Keh deti hoon....usko mann mein bad things nahi bolna. He is still my friend.

Rv(sighing): Accha baba theek hain....nahi sochta main kuch mann mein. Ab chale? Harry potter padh kar sunau?

Prathna: Hmm.....

Rv: Kaunsa waala?

Prathna: Vo 4th waala....
Rv: Okay....baith jaa bed par jaa kar...main bas abhi aaya book le kar.
Prathna: Okay.....

Rv left to the library.

Just then Rv's phone rang. It was from an unknown number. Being Rv's daughter....Prathna loved to mess with loan agents who offered just loan and gave free headache.

Prathna: Mere papa ko pareshaan karne ke liye hamesha phone karte rehte hain. Abhi batati hoon.

Prathna picked up the call and was about to speak but before she could....hearing the words, "Mr.RV.....Mrs.Poorvi coma se bahar aa gayi hain. Aap jaldi aa jaaiye."

The phone slipped from Prathna's hands....her eyes were teary and there was a wide smile on her face. Since birth....she has always been said that her mother, Poorvi got into an accident when she was pregnant and was in coma since the last seven years. Even though Harleen, Vishakha and Deepika loved her a lot but still....no one could fulfil the craving in Prathna's heart for her mother's love.

"Prathna....vo fourth book....."

Rajvansh was about to speak more but then saw Prathna crying sitting on the bed but with a smile on her face.

Rajvansh: Kya hua Prathna? Kyun ro rahi hain? Maine koi galati ki? Dekh....tu ro mat baccha...main....

Prathna(crying)(happy): Papa mumma ko hosh aa gaya. Hospital se phone aaya tha....mumma coma se bahar aa gayi hain. Aapko bulaya hain hospital.

Rajvansh couldn't believe his ears. A tear flew down his cheeks.

Prathna(teary eyed): Hospital chalo na papa....mujhe mumma se milna hain.

Rajvansh: Haan....abhi chalte hain....chal....

Rajvansh left with Prathna in car. Within half an hour he reached the hospital and rushed directly to Poorvi along holding Prathna's hands.

They opened the door of the room where Poorvi was.

As soon as Poorvi's eyes fell on Rajvansh....her lips curled into a wide grin and her eyes filled with tears.

Poorvi(with a soft smile)(teary eyed): Rv.....

Rajvansh ran to Poorvi and hugged her tightly. Poorvi reciprocated the hug crying.

Rajvansh(cupping Poorvi's face): Poorvi....finally tumhe hosh aa gaya. Tumhe pata bhi nahi hain ki yeh saat saal maine kaise bitaye hain tumhare bina.

Poorvi(teary eyed): Ab mujhe hosh aa gaya hain na? Ab hum dono hamesha saath rahenge.

Rajvansh(teary eyed): Dono nahi....teeno....
Poorvi(teary eyed): Tumhara matlab humara baccha....vo zinda hain?

"Mumma....."

Poorvi's eyes flicked towards Prathna who stood at the door crying. She ran to Poorvi and hugged her tightly.

Prathna(hugging Poorvi)(crying): Mumma aap itne time tak kyun so rahe the? Maine aapko bohot miss kiya. Ab aap kabhi itni lambi sleep par mat jaana....

Poorvi hugged Prathna tightly crying. She kissed Prathna on her head and Rajvansh hugged them all tightly with a smile on his face.

Next day,

Poorvi stood at the entrance of Rajvansh's house along with Prathna and Rv as Harleen did the aarti.

Harleen(teary eyed): Aaj jaa Poorvi....apne subh kadam se...iss ghar ko firse roshan kar de. Iss ghar mein jo itna andhera hain usko durr kar de. 

Vaishali: Bilkul sahi kaha aapne parjai jii. Iske bina toh jaise yeh poora andhere mein doob gaya tha.

Deepika(teary eyed): Par ab aisa kabhi nahi hoga. Meri bestfriend jo waapis aa gayi hain.

Poorvi chuckled teary eyed hearing this and did the griha pravesh.

Just then Harman tried to eat a sweet but Harleen stopped him.

Harleen: Bilkul nahi Harman jii.....aapki diabetes bohot badh gayi hain.
Harman: Arrey aaj toh khaane de Harleen...aaj meri beti waapis aayi hain.

Harleen glared at Harman and he put down the sweet.

Prathna pulled down RV and spoke loud enough for everyone to hear.

Prathna: Papa...taiyaar ho jaao. Pehle toh sirf dadi, choti dadi aur badi Maa the. Par ab mumma bhi aa gayi hain. Aapne agar koi bhi galati ki....toh saath mein daant paregi sabse aur iss baar toh main bhi nahi bachaungi.

Deepika(chuckling): Kyun Prathna? Tu toh hamesha bachati hain na RV ko? Toh fir?

Prathna: Haan....par ab main papa ki team mein reh kar bore ho gayi hoon...isiliye ab se main mumma ki team mein hoon...meri beautiful mumma.

Rajvansh: Accha bacchu? Mumma aa gayi toh team badal di? Abhi batata hoon bacchu.....

Prathna ran in the whole house and Rajvansh chased her to catch her. The whole house erupted in genuine laughter and happiness and the happiness returned again in Rajvansh's house.

Scene End.
