Punjab...considered the liveliest and enthusiastic place never fails to amaze anyone with its serene nature, peoples' hospitality and its rich culture! 

Punjab is the land of gold, the part of earth there is not less than gold! The synchronized waving of trees, the warm breeze during the afternoon is what makes a person lose his senses and just get melt in the beauty of Punjab. 

In a warm evening of a fine day, the sun was about to set but was still spreading its bright rays. The sand was sparkling like gold in the leftover rays of the sun. There were big havelis built all over in the Lona Pind of Hoshiyarpur. But the surprising thing was the strange water tanks placed on top of all the houses. 

In a huge lavish yet desi haveli, a man could be seen reading a newspaper with a big frown on his face and disgust being reflected from his eyes. He was looking as if he's in his early 60s and had a white long beard flowing from his face. His face had many wrinkles reflecting his agedness & experience of life. He had a turban on his head which was his pride. His anger & disgust was increasing with each passing second when his wife came and sat beside him who was also a beautiful lady in her early 60s. She too had wrinkles on her face, but her pretty smile was compensating it all.

His wife - Sardarji, ki hoya? Inne gusse mein kyu lag rahe ho tussi?

Yes, the man is Dilpreet Singh Shergill, and the lady is his wife, Sanjot Dilpreet Shergill!

Dilpreet - Oye Sanjotte, duniya mein ab pyaar naam ki cheez reh hi nahi gayi! Dekh akhbaar (newspaper) mein kya chhapa hai...Ek bahu-bete ne apne buddhe maa-baap ko haath pakad ke ghar ki dehleej ke bahar kar diya! Sach mein Sanjotte, kalyug hai bhai...ghor kalyug?

Sanjot smiled sadly on Dilpreet's words and kept her hand on his shoulder.

Sanjot - Sardarji, tussi kyu inna bhadakte ho?! Chhaddo bhi ye sab. Chai pi lo!

Dilpreet nodded and was about to pick up the cup of tea, but he saw something which made his blood boil and rage reflected from his eyes. He threw the cup of tea spilling the tea all over the floor and the cup breaking into pieces. Sanjot got extremely scared by this sudden behaviour of Dilpreet and stood immediately. 

Sanjot - K..kya ho gaya, Sardarji?

Dilpreet (angrily) - O iss insaan ka photo mere ghar mein kya kar raha hai?!!

Sanjot - Ka..kaha hai, Sardarji?

Deed teri bus ek paane ko,
Tarse tera desh re...

Dilpreet pointed his hand towards the newspaper which was lying on the table and shuts his eyes in anger & disgust. Sanjot turned towards Dilpreet with her eyes full of tears and some unexpressed pain. She was feeling some ache in her heart witnessing how can someone hate his own blood so much, how can someone hate the person whom he loved more than himself, how?!

Witnessing no change in Sanjot, Dilpreet walked away angrily leaving behind a broken Sanjot. She slowly bent down to the level of the table and very carefully, she picked up the newspaper. In the newspaper, it was her 'Karan puttar's' photo published with an article briefing about his incredible performance in his recent mission which was very dangerous yet important. She caressed the photo with tears streaming down her wrinkled cheeks, she places a feathery kiss on Karan's forehead in the photograph itself.  She also admired how her grandson looks and felt very proud of him. 

Channa ve...ghar aaja
Kyu bhaye pardes re?!

Suddenly, a couple in their mid 20s entered and were very shocked to see Sanjot crying hysterically while hugging a particular page in the newspaper. The couple is NimDeep or Nimrit & Randeep! They quickly ran to her and held her shoulders from either side. 

Rana - Beeji, ki hoya tuaanu? Tussi kyu ro rahe ho?

Sanjot - Rana puttar, te...tere Daarji kyu tere vadde praa (elder brother) se itni nafrat karte hain? Aisa kya hi gunaah kardiya tha mere puttar ne?! 

Hoo...pind ki tarsi ye galiyaan
Dhunde tera nishaan 

Sanjot's words for Karan irked Nimrat and she just rolled her eyes which was definitely noticed by Rana, but he decided to not to react for the time being. 

Nimrit (in a taunting tone) - Kya Beeji aap bhi! Kyu Karan bhaisaheb ke kiye ko chhupa rahe ho? Sirf Darji kya, hum sab jaante hain ki Karan bhaisaheb ne kinna vadda dhoka kitta sab ke saath!

Sanjot & Rana couldn't argue further with Nimrit as they also somewhere know that whatever she's blabbering, is the ultimate truth but they definitely eyed Nimrit with hurtful eyes. 

Rana - Vaise akhbaar (newspaper) mein kya chhapa hai Beeji, jo aap aise ro rahe ho?

Sanjot then remembered why she was crying and immediately wiped off her flowing tears. With immense happiness reflecting from her face, Sanjot forwarded the newspaper to NimDeep. They were shocked to see Karan's photo being published in the newspaper and were even more shocked when they read the article.

Rana (in shock) - O Beeji! Karan praaji ne to kamaal hi kar ditta! Unhone enna vadda (big) mission complete kitta, ghabraye nahi honge kya vo?!

Nimrit (in not so interested tone) - Jab apne parivaar ko, pind walon ko, yaha tak ki apne buddhe dada-dadi ko dhoka dete hue dil nahi ghabraya to mission par kya hi ghabraya hoga?!

Rana glared at her intensely with anger and Nimrit went away giving him a 'Bhaad mein jao' look. Sanjot stood up from the floor along with Rana and just walked off to her room with disappointment. 

In her room, she stood in front of the old family photo of the Shergills having Dilpreet, Sanjot, Rana & Karan looking very happy as they were together and united, unlike today. Sanjot went near the photograph and caressed Karan's face, while her eyes were shedding tears of longingness. 

Ho...jinddi ye sunni laage
Das de tu hai kahan...

Sanjot - Haye mera puttar, inne vadde-vadde mission karda hai! (She took his balayein) Waheguru ji karein mere puttar pe kabhi aa..aanch na aaye! Aur...

A voice - Aur kya?

Sanjot stopped as she heard a hard, dominating voice from behind and as she turned, she was surprised to see Dilpreet standing on the door with sad and angry face. 

Dilpreet (angrily) - Aur kya, Sanjotte?

Sanjot - Sardarji vo...

Dilpreet (interrupting in between) - Oye Sanjotte, mana kiya tha na iss shaks ki tasveer se bhi baat karne se! Kyu ni maanti tu meri baat kabhi?!

Sanjot (crying) - Aa..aap bhi to meri baat ka..bhi nahi maante!

Dilpreet - Tere se behes (argue) karna fizool hai. Roti reh apni 'puttar' ke saamne! Aane nahi wala vo, bahot khush hai apni zindagi mein vo dhokebaaz!

Announcing so, Dilpreet went away leaving behind a crying grandma with a broken heart. She leaned to the wall and slowly glided down and sat on the floor with the newspaper in her hand. She again looked at the photo and smiled painfully.

Rasta dekhe munder ve
Tu baitha muh pher ke...

Sanjot - Puttar! Tere Darji kuchh vi kahe, pyaar karte hain tujhse, vo bhi sache vala. Lekin puttar, teri Beeji ka dil jaanda hai ki tu vi apne Darji nu, Beeji nu, parivaar nu, pind nu yaad karda hoga. (Begging tone) Puttar, aaja na Ghar vapis!

Sanjot saw her Karan's reflecting in Waheguru Ji's photograph that was hung exactly opposite to Shergills' family photo. She immediately stood up & covered her head with her dupatta and joined her hands in front of Waheguru ji.

Kiske sang bol ve,
Main karaan...

Sanjot - Baba ji, jis din mera putt mere kol (kareeb) hoga, apni Beeji nu pukarega or jhappi payega..uss din main gurudware mein 100 bhuko ko khana khilaungi! Aapne to vadde-vadde chamatkar kiye hain, iss maa ki bhi ardaas sun lo na..Baba ji!

Dil Diyaan Gallan...

With a heart full of hope & belief and brain filled of doubt, Sanjot left Karan's room and made sure to lock it as it's only her right to go in his room and do heart to heart talks with him. Also, it's her daily routine to come in his room, do some Puja there, feed Karan's photo whatever food she has made for the whole family and then to again close it.

Hoo...
Dil Diyaan Gallan!

It seemed as if she's nurturing him but without him being actually there. Only a mother or grandmother can do this!❤️

Note - I've used only some part of the OST of Dil Diyaan Gallan & it'd be frequently used as it's the official song of the serial. I hope you guys won't mind!
