Recap: Miilee asks Dadima why she gave her so much love, that it became so hard for her to leave Dadima. Dadima says that if this is the case, then why did Miilee fill so much love in her heart for Miilee. Miilee goes to Rahul angrily and says that he thinks that Miilee is poor, she's stupid, and that he will do one thing and she will happily come to him. Miilee asks Father Manuel that he knows everything, why did Vishal leave her here? Miilee goes to the party that Vishal has thrown and says that she has found out his truth, the truth, the reality, that his whole family wants to hear. Will he tell them the truth, or should she?
Miilee: I asked, will you tell them, or should I?
Vishal: Yes - I will.
Everybody looks around at each other.
Vishal: She is my - my - my -
Miilee: Why did you stop? Tell them!
Vishal: Yes, I am telling them!
Miilee: OK! Let me tell all of them!
Vishal is shocked.
Miilee: Mr. Rastogi left me at the Convent because ... because he didn't have enough money to pay my salary!
Everybody is shocked, and the guests all laugh with one another.
Miilee: He told Father Manuel that his business is going into a loss! And in such a big house, he felt that my salary was a worthless spend! Sir, you don't have to worry about my salary. I don't work for your family in this house, I work for Dadima. And Miilee's heart is just big enough, Sir, that she doesn't take money from you for that! I love Dadima a lot, Sir! And you can't keep me away from her!
Dadima: So Vishal made Miilee leave for this reason?
Hiralal: Yes, Dadima.
Dadima: No. There must have been some other reason. We know our son.
Hiralal: Dadima, whatever the reason is, the fact is that bag of mischief is back!
Dadima: She is a bag of mischief! But, we like her a lot.
Dadima sits down. Hiralal gathers up some folded clothes and is going outside when Miilee comes running in and bumps into him! He drops the clothes. Miilee gathers them up quickly and goes running to Dadima.
Miilee: Dadima!
Miilee hugs Dadima.
Dadima: Where were you for two days? You didn't remember us?
Miilee: I did miss you! But I was very angry at Vishal Sir! And at you!
Dadima: At us! But why?
Miilee: What else! You're his mother! You didn't teach him any manners in his childhood or something? Didn't say anything, just grabbed my hand and took me to the Convent! Is this any way?
Dadima: He did wrong! We will talk to him!
Miilee: Yes, do talk to him. And tell him that Miilee doesn't work for Dadima for money! And I even said in front of everyone, that I will do Dadima's work for free from now on! Like the members of the house do!
Dadima smiles and kisses Miilee's forehead.
Sagar and Babita are talking.
Babita: That Miilee! "I don't work for Dadima for money!" Miilee! What a plan!
Sagar: But not a better plan than yours!
Babita: I'm not joking.
Sagar: I have an idea! If Miilee works for free, why don't you pay for working!
Babita: Pay for working!
Sagar: There can't be a better way to show up Miilee.
Babita: Your eye is just on money, isn't it!
Sagar: Lie. Absolutely untrue. It's on you as well.
Babita: Only your eye is on me! You don't do anything else at all! How about dinners, restaurants, pubs, maybe even a small party for me!
Sagar: P-party! We'll have a big party in the house! All the rich people, politicians will come!
He hugs Babita.
Babita: You're talking as if it's our wedding reception!
Sagar is shocked.
Babita: What happened? Overcome with shyness?
Sagar smiles and nods.
Babita: Then don't be shy! Because I don't have time for all these things! Think what to do with that Miilee, that she'll go away from this house and Rahul forever!
Sagar nods.
Miilee is dusting when Rahul walks in.
Rahul: You had gone, hadn't you? Then why did you come back? Oh - you must have been missing me terribly! You can't live without seeing me!
Miilee: Yes, my Rahul. Nothing seems good without you!
Rahul: Aw.
Miilee: The thing is actually, that reading a comic isn't allowed in the Convent!
Rahul: You're so old, you still read comics!
Miilee: No! I don't need to, because I see you instead! Cartoon!
Rahul: Hey, why are you calling me a cartoon!
Miilee: Because I've never been to the zoo, that's why.
Rahul: Say whatever you want! But one day you'll be friends with me. Right?
Miilee: Rahul, can't you live without betting on me or challenging me?
Rahul: No! I can't live without winning a challenge from you!
Miilee: Then you're dead!
Rahul: This time, I will win.
Miilee: Hmm?
Rahul: Hmmm!
Scene 5
Miilee enters Dadima's room.
Miilee: Dadima! Hot tea, hot tea, hot tea! Dadima?
Dadima: Yes?
Miilee: Now I'm back, but why are you still so worried?
Dadima: Miilee, what you said yesterday, that you will work for free -
Miilee: Not for the house, I said that I'll work for Dadima for free. But why are you getting worried about it?
Dadima: Not worried. Our love for you is very special. That's why, we want to do something for you as well. We've decided, that in three days, we will have a party here. And we will introduce you as a member of the Rastogi family.
Miilee: Dadima, what's the need for that?
Dadima: There is a need for it. Who works for free in the house?
Miilee: Who are members of the house.
Dadima: So if you're a member of the household, then it is necessary to introduce you to everybody else!
Miilee: Dadima, just let me be like this. I came here as a maid, didn't I?
Dadima: But you're not a maid now! You said yourself, that you are my granddaughter!
Miilee: I said it, but I am your fake granddaughter! Just let this matter be between me and you, please.
Dadima: No. This relationship is not artificial for us. And then, we have decided!
Vishal and Father Manuel are sitting at a table.
Vishal: We had decided that Miilee will live here, in the convent. But why didn't you stop her, when she came back?
Father Manuel: Mr. Rastogi, has anyone ever been able to stop a storm coming from the sea? The storm inside Miilee has a relationship with you, with your house.
Vishal: How do I explain to you, Father, that Miilee living in my house right now is a very big worry for me?
Father Manuel: Then accept her! Just once, Mr. Rastogi, just once make the courage to face the truth!
Vishal: Father Manuel, to gain success, a person has to take great care before treading one step.
Father Manuel: Then go, Mr. Rastogi, go. Climb the ladder of success. Miilee is your daughter, but I have raised her. If you are her father then even I am. Any one of us will have to take a decision. And I'll tell you, Miilee will never come in the way of your success.
Vishal: You have so much belief in yourself?
Father Manuel: I have trust in Miilee. Because she is the daughter of that woman, who, had she wanted, could have come in the way of your success years back. But she didn't do this.
Miilee is making Dadima try out necklaces. She picks one and tries it on Dadima.
Miilee: Wow!
She takes up a golden sari.
Miilee: Dadima, this color will look so good on you, won't it?
Dadima: Miilee, everybody will be looking at you in the party. And you're dressing us up! I'm thinking of getting you a very beautiful dress!
Miilee: Dadima, I have that pooja dress, don't I?
Dadima: No, not that.
Rahul walks in.
Rahul: Dadima -
He sees Miilee.
Rahul: Was this lizard complaining about me?
Miilee: Dadima, tell this vegetable that Miilee doesn't need to complain to anyone to get things done! She can do them herself!
Rahul: You called me a vegetable!
Miilee: You called me a lizard!
Rahul: Fox!
Miilee: Bear!
Dadima: Can we say something? Rahul, we want you to introduce Miilee as a member of the family in the party.
Rahul: Introduce Miilee!
Miilee: Why? Do you have any problem?
Rahul: Yes! I don't introduce enemies!
Miilee: Why did you send me that teddy bear?
Rahul: I didn't send you that teddy bear!
Miilee: Liar!
Rahul: Liar!
Dadima: Enough!
Miilee: Dadima, this boy doesn't know anything except fighting.
Rahul picks up a pillow and throws it at Miilee. Miilee runs off behind him, making faces at his back.
Dadima: Listen to us.
Rahul: I'll introduce Miilee. And this fighting with Miilee will continue! Dadima, what you're doing, giving Miilee so much love, is really good. Dadima, you're so sweet.
Dadima: Now we only have a wait for that party.
Vishal, Kamini and the servants are standing.
Vishal: There should be no mistake in this party.
They nod and go.
Vishal: Kamini?
Kamini: Yes! I've heard what you said to me and Rahul.
Vishal: One more thing. Tell your son that he shouldn't do any of his rudeness in this party.
Kamini: My son Rahul doesn't do any rude thing without a reason.
Vishal: So you mean to say that I am the reason for his rudeness.
Kamini: Yes, you are. Your hatred is the reason for it.
Vishal: What should I do? Not hate him but clasp him and hug him? That child whom I gave my name...
Kamini: Thank God he isn't your son! Otherwise he would have been like you! Selfish!
Vishal: Stay within your limits, Kamini!
Kamini: Which limits? Those limits, which you force servants to stand in? Or that limit, in which I have to hear things about my child repeatedly? Knowing that even you have an illegitimate child!
Vishal: My child isn't illegitimate!
Kamini: No! You're right! Your child isn't illegitimate! And that's why you don't even know which corner of the world your child is in, begging!
Vishal: KAMINI!
Kamini: And even if your child comes in front of you one day, Vishal, then I'm sure that you'll refuse to accept it!
Vishal slaps Kamini.
Vishal: Kamini, I'm - I'm -
Kamini: Vishal, I want a divorce.
Hiralal is telling the other servants what to do.
Hiralal: It should be completed within an hour.
Miilee: Anything else, Chashmish?
Hiralal: Miilee, why do you always insult me? I'm giving you a last warning!
Miilee: Oh, Hiralal! It's Miilee's habit to do fun and jokes! You're like my father! Why do you feel bad?
Hiralal smiles and leaves.
Miilee: Stupid. Chashmish.
Madhubala: Oh Ram! You were saying that he is like your father! And now!
Miilee: The thing is, Madhubala, that any stuck-up person I meet, I call them like my father!
Madhubala: Miilee, fathers are fathers. Understand?
Miilee: Yes! They are! If I meet him one day, even I don't know what I'll do to him!
Madhubala: Oh! When he comes in front of you, and says your name once, your anger will vanish.
Miilee: Really? Let him take my name even once!
Miilee serves Vishal tea. She is going.
Vishal: Miilee. I had left you at the Convent. Why did you come back?
Miilee: I told you, didn't I, sir? In front of everyone. What you said -
Vishal: That's not important. The important thing is that I don't want you to live here.
Miilee: That's what I want to ask you. Why don't you want me to live here?
Vishal: Why don't you go and live in the Convent, where everybody loves you? Whereas - whereas -
Miilee: What?
Vishal: Whereas everybody hates you over here.
Miilee: Hate me? Who hates me? Dadima? Hiralal? All the servants? Or YOU? Do you hate me?
Vishal stands up.
Vishal: Yes, I hate you.
Miilee: You're lying! Your eyes are betraying your words! You used to hate me at first, but then something happened. When you took me to the Convent, you didn't hate me even then!
Vishal: You're only saying what you want to believe!
Miilee: Then what is the truth! Do you hate me? And because of this, I should leave and go? My father had taught me how to live with hatred before I was even born!
Vishal: Miilee!
Miilee: I won't stay quiet, today? I told you that we have something in common! We both get angry quickly! Today I found out something else. You and my father have something in common too! You BOTH hate me!
Vishal is shocked.
Miilee: I can't fight with my father's hatred because I never met him! But I can fight with yours! I won't leave this house! I will live here! In your house, in front of your very eyes!
It was an overall good episode today, with good acting by everyone. And Vishal getting taught a lesson in almost every other scene!
