At evening, the door bell of Haseena's House rang and Haseena knew who it might be and ofcourse their purpose of coming.

She looked at Maa who was sitting with an excited face, she knew the happiness on her face was soon gonna vanish as soon as Chandramukhi and team will reveal the truth of Anubhav's condition to her. She felt tensed, but again...she can't help it, she looked at the MPT members who looked equally tensed.

She exhaled forcefully.

She turned towards the door again and opened it.

Haseena : Mam, Sir, ap sabhi ka bohot swagat hai.

All smiled and entered the house.

As soon as they entered, Maa immediately hugged Bajrang Pandey and Chandramukhi Chautala togather.

After a while the trio seperated.

Maa: mai bata nahi sakti itne dino baad tum dono ko dekh ke kitni Khushi mil rahi hai mujhe, bhul he Gaye ho na tum dono apni iss budhi maa ko?

Bajrang: are hum humari maa ko kaise bhul sakte hai? bas kaam mein Yun uljhe rehete hai ki kya bataye.

Chandramukhi: aur kisne kaha ki yo young lady budhi ho gaiee hai?

She pointed towards Gopi.

Chandramukhi: Yo dekh rahi hai ap Budhau...Buddhapa isne keheve hai.

Gopi: well...(making crying face) carry on!!

Ammi: Accha ap sab haath dho lijiye khana lag gaya hai.

All washed their hands and were now sitting on the dinning table and having their meal.

Gulgule: kya baat hai! Aunty , kasam se apke haath mein Jadu hai, kya Shahi Paneer banaya hai apne! Waah!

All smiled and agreed.

Gopi: ya...it is very tragic is the!

All looked at him in confusion.

Chandramukhi: Tasty!

Gopi: Ya This one!

All then understood.

Suddenly Billu's eyes blinked and he forgot.

He stood up

All looked at him

He walked towards cheeta and held his wrist.

Cheeta got up.

Cheeta: k..kaa? Kaa? Kaa hua Billu Ji? Ap humara haath iss tarah kahe pakad liye?

Billu: (emotionally) Basanti !

Everyone's eyes went wide while the Imaan Chouki members rolled their eyes.

Cheeta: (confusion) Basanti?

Billu: tum fikar mat karo Basanti, ye zalim duniya...hume alag nahi kar payegi, hum aaj he ye gaon chhod kar bhaag jayege.

All the MPT members stood up in confusion.

Karishma: Ama e ka Bakaiti hai?

Haseena: haa ye apke constable Billu , Cheeta ko Basanti kyu bula rahe hai?

Pushpa ji: Billu beta, ye kya kar rahe ho? Aise kisi ko khate samay nahi uthate.

Billu:(showing his finger) ap beech mein mat boliye Churi Chachi.

Pushpa ji: hum churi chachi?

Billu: haa ap...ap he ke karan ye sab ho raha hai, ap he ke karan mujhe aur meri Basanti alag huee the. Lekin ab aur nahi,  mai aur basanti ab yaha se bhag jayege. Hum do jism ek jaan hai...

Cheeta:(crying) maddam sir hume bachaiye...ye constable bohora gaya hai.

Karishma: ama is ki maiya ka sasu maiya...

Bajrang: ek min...marna mat.

Chandramukhi looked at Gulgule and Gopi.

Chandramukhi: eb vo Basanti ne Bhaga le jayge tab umetonge iske kaan?

Gopi immediately ran towards Billu and screwed his ears and he again blinked his eyes and now was back to reality.

He then looked at his hand griping Cheeta's.

He immediately left it.

Billu: kuch hua tha kya?

Cheeta: hua tha? Bhaiya apne hume Basanti banakar chuaa tha aur bhagane wale the.

Santu: Cheete tu pichle janam mein Basanti tha? Tune mujhe bataya nahi.

Cheeta: ufffff! Ye masumiyat.

Gulgule: are nahi koi pichle janam ka system nahi hai vo toh iss bilu ko short term bhulne ki bimari hai.

Cheeta: are bhulne ki bimari hai toh kya kisi ka bhi haath pakad lenge?

Bajrang: Abe sukr manao be...tum toh sirf basanti Bane ho, hum toh Hetal, iski biwi, chachi, mummy aur na jane kya kya ban chuke hai.

Haseena Cleared her throat.

Haseena: aap sab please ... Continue with the dinner.

All again sat and started with the meal.

After the Dinner, all were sitting in the living area, talking to Maa, actually struggling to tell her the truth.

Bajrang: Maa...hume na apse ek baat karni thi.

Maa: are toh bol, tu kabse mujhse hickichane laga?

Chandramukhi: maa vo ...darsal...Anu ...

Maa: kya Anu? Ane wala hai kya? Tumhari baat huee thi uss se.

Karishma: nahi maa vo...baat ye hai ki...Anu Bhaiya

Maa then notice the tense faces.
She got up with worry.

Maa: kya hua Anu ko? V..vo theekh hai na?

All stood up.

Haseena: maa...ap pehele Shanti se baithiye...hum bata te hai n.

Maa: Haseena kya hua hai? Bol n.

Pushpa ji: Samdhan ji ap pehele baithiye toh sahi.

She sat and Haseena sat on her knees.

She looked into her eyes, she was about to tell everything and that's when she remembered the scene when she shot him.

She immediately left Maa's hand.

How can she tell her that? She is the one who had done it to him, though whatever the reason might be, but she's the one who has injured his son.

She gulped and stood up and left from their.

Maa: I..isse kya hua? Anu theekh hai na? M..maine dekha Haseena ro rahi thi, kya hua hai?

Chandramukhi now held Maa's hand and sat on her knees.

Chandramukhi: maa...Anubhav ne...Goli lagi hai,

Maa stared at her blankly.

Chandramukhi: aur vo...Coma mein jaa chuka hai.

Maa immediately stood up.

Maa: kya?

Her legs trembled and she went unconscious.

All rushed towards her and listening the noise, Haseena too came and immediately held her head in her lap.

Ammi immediately brought water and Haseena Sprinkled it on her face.

Maa opened her eyes.

Haseena made her drink the water.

Haseena: Maa...iss tarah kamzor padne se kuch nahi hoga. Hum sab apke pass isiliye aye the kyu ki ek ap he hai, jo Anu... Anubhav ko hosh mein laa sakti hai.
Anubhav coma mein hai, par hum sab ki awaz sun sakte hai.
Maa...ap unki Jaan hai, ek baar ap unse mil lijiye, sab theekh ho jayega.

Maa:(crying) tu.. tune...tune koshish nahi ki usse uthane ki? Vo..vo toh tujhse pyaar karta hai na? Vo Teri baat zarur manega.

Haseena blankly looked into Maa's eyes.

She remembered his attempt to kill her, she remembered him saying that he will shoot her till her soul leaves her body.

Haseena:(gulping) maa...shayad, Humare dil ki baat Anubhav tak pohoch he nahi paiee.

All exchanged glance.

Karishma: Cha.. chachi isiliye hum sab chahate hai ki ap hum sab ka saath Hospital chaliye.
Ka hai na...

She remembered the evil Change happened to him.

Karishma : pyaar ki pukar toh unhone unsuni kardi, shayad Maa ki Pukar se vo jaag jaye.

Maa noded.

Maa: cha..chalo...abhi chalo, mai, mai Anu se baat karugi, vo meri baat kabhi nahi taalta, usse...usse uthna hoga.

Tears rolled down her eyes.

Haseena immediately hugged her, creasing her back.

All then immediately rushed her towards hospital.

Tough all wanted her to wait for tonight, but she is a mother, how can she even lay her back on her comfy bed when her son is in so much pain?

After 45 mins they reached the hospital and immediately rushed to the ICU where he was kept from past 1 month.

As soon as the door opened,

Maa went nub, she felt her legs rooted on the ground, she felt as if they got freezed and won't be able to take further steps.

Her cheeks got all drenched with the hot tears and she was again about to fall when Kareena held her shoulder by each side.

Haseena wiped her tears.

Haseena: Ap kamzor nahi pad sakti maa, Aapko Anubhav ko takat Dena hai.

Maa noded.

The trio walked inside ,while both Kareen supporting Maa to walk.

For a while it felt that Anubhav was able to sense the presence of the three important ladies of his life, because the machines started beeping.

Kareena made Maa sit on the chair and looked at Anubhav, who was laying on the bed, with the Support of Oxygen mask and Saline on his nerves.

Here Maa looked at his chest rapped with bandages, that told her the spot of Bullets.

Kareena following Maa's gaze again remembered the Bullet shot scenes.
It was 1, 2, 3 bullets at CONTINUATION and his face was depicting that how badly he was shocked.

Maa slowly forwarded her hand on the bandaged and Suddenly the machines started making noise again.

All looked at the machines.

Chandramukhi: Gulgule...yo dusri baar machine timtimaiee, jaa jaldi Doctor ne bula ke laa.

Gulgule immediately rushed to call the doctor.

Maa again looked at Anubhav with hope.

Maa: Anu...Anu beta tujhe pata hai na mai yaha hu? (Crying more) tu mujhe sun sakta hai na? Hai na? Dekh beta aakhe khol de, mere saath aisa mat kar, tere sahare toh jeeti hu, tu he chala jayega toh kiske sahare jeeugi?
Aakhen khol na baccha.

Everyone's eyes developed tears.

Maa: Anu...dekh mujhe pata hai tujhe mujhe satana bohot accha lagta hai, aur tu satata bhi hai par aise mat sata na, uth Jaa... Tu toh meri haar baat maanta hai na? Meri baat kabhi nahi taalta, phir tu Apni maa ki ye baat nahi sunega? Uth Jaa...

Maa kept her head on his hand.

Maa: uth Jaa, dekh teri har thitholi mujhe aaj tak pyaari lagi hai par ye bohot bura mazak hai. Chal jaldi uth ab.

She waited for him to get up.

Maa: nahi manega tu meri baat? humesha apni he man ki lagata hai na? Toh theekh hai , aj ke baad mai bhi teri koi baat nahi sunugi, na daviya lugi, na tere uss niyamit jaach keliye jaugi.
Suna tune?

She again for him to get up.

Maa: (shouting) Anu abhi ke abhi uth.

Now she got frustrated very much.

Karishma and Haseena immediately hugged her.

Kareena looked at Anubhav.

Karishma: Bhaiya, Chachi ro rahi hai, uth jaiye na!

Haseena: Apko Apki Maa ki Kasam hai Anubhav, Uth jaiye. Humare liye na sahi, Karishma Singh keliye Naa sahi, Maa keliye uth jaiye.

Maa again shouted.

Maa: are in dono ki toh sun le! Uth Jaa! Nahi jee paugi tere bina.

Suddenly the machines started beeping.

The doctor came.

He checked the machine.

Doctor: Maa ji ap baat karti rahiye, lag ta hai vo uth jayege.

Maa: Anu...dekh doctor bol rahe hai tu uth jayega, uth Jaa...tu meri baat sun raha hai na? Dekh beta ut jaa, uth na...

Maa again Hugged him, but immediately seperated when she felt his hand moving.

Maa: Anu...Anu ne abhi apna haath hilaya...vo uthne ki koshish kar raha hai, vo uth Raha hai.

She held his hand firmly.

Maa: Anu... beta uth ra hai na tu? Uth Raha hai na?

And...he finally reciprocated the grip on his mother's hand.

All smiled.

All looked at him, when his eyes felt moving and yes they were moving and finally...he slowly slowly opened them.

For a while he struggled a bit to have the clear view as his eyes had opened after a long gap of a month but when his eyes were finally able to resist the light around he fully opened them,

He looked at his mother whose face had a relief ... finally!

Maa immediately hugged him.

He was weak, so weak that he wasn't able to move his hand but still, he managed to reciprocate the hug with his one hand.

His eyes then went on Kareena who was having moisture in their eyes either.

He didn't wanted to but couldn't help blink at them with assurance and they noded smiling.

Haseena: A..Anubhav!

He looked in her eyes and he knew why he took his name.

He again didn't wanted to but then the tears of Kareena was melting him.
Thus, he blinked his eyes as yes and Kareena immediately hugged him from other side and he tried to reciprocate them both.
