Episode 21
Jugs: Nai maa, bandar papa main ghar aa gai, kahan ho sab ke sab?
Pranati: Yahan hoon dadi amma.
Pranati came out of kitchen and and helped her remove her bag.
Pranati: Kaisa raha school?
Jugs: Bohot boring, sirf padhai padhai padhai. Bandar papa kahan hai?
Pranati: Apne room mein, pehle jaake change kr lo fir unke paas chale jana.
Jugs: Okay
She ran up to her room and changed and then walked to Reyansh's room.
Rey: Aa gai ninja? Dekh tere papa ne teri wish poori kar di. Woh rhi photos. Chal dikhata hoon
They both sat on the bed with the box and Reyansh pulled out a few loose photos and album.
Maan: Arre humaare bina masti? Rey bhai yeh toh galat hai.
They saw Armaan and Maan on the door with folded arms.
Rey: Ab aa hi gaye ho toh baithh jao.
They all sat and started looking at photos.
Pranati: Yaar yeh kya? Tum apne chauthe bhai ke bina masti Kaise kr sakte ho?
Armaan: Chautha bhai?
Pranati: Haan, chautha bhai, 'Khana'.
Saying this she threw few packets of chips towards them. Riya came behind her with drinks. They all sat together and started telling stories behind their childhood pictures. That was the best family view anyone could ever see but someone didn't like it at all. There was dadi looking from far away with glass of whiskey in her hand. Her anger had no bounds seeing it. She was seeing her kids going away from her and she couldn't live with that fact.
Dadi: Iss Pranati ka kuchh krna hi padega.
Maan: Rey bhai humara purana camera aapke paas hai?
Rey: Haan, woh almirah ki third drawer mein hai.
Maan got up and pulled it out.
Maan: Is moment ki picture toh bnti hai na?
They took a lot of pictures with old school camera. Armaan volunteered to get them developed. They had a proper lunch after that. Pranati helped Jugnu complete her homework fast so she could practice football with her father.
Jugs: Bandar papa yeh jogging ki kya zaroorat hai? Seedha practise krte hai na.
Rey: Beta sirf ball ko kick krna football nhi hota, tu jis speed se bhaag rhi hai na usse 20 times zada bhagna padega. Peechhe hatna hai toh abhi bol de.
Jugs: Aap mujhe challenge kr rahe ho?
Rey: Yahi samajh le
Jugs: Dekhte jao, aapse bhi zada trophies hongi mere paas.
She restored her energy and ran with her father. At the end of the day they were really tired.
Pranati entered her room to see the cutest scene of all time. She saw Reyansh and Jugnu on her bed sleeping. Jugnu was on her stomach with one arm around Reyansh while he had his one arm around too. She gave a sweet smile and moved towards her cupboard. She opened it and a calendar is shown inside it. She crossed out a date which was right before a circled one. Her head turned towards both of them and a lone tear escaped her eyes. Just one word came out of her mouth like a whimper.
Pranati: Thankyou...
Without saying anything else she walked out of the room with a few more tears in her eyes.
Next morning Reyansh woke up and checked his phone. There was a message from Pranati.
'Mujhe kuchh kaam aa gaya, court mein milte hai.'
That was when Reyansh finally checked the date. Today was indeed the hearing of Jugnu's solo custody case. He looked at Jugnu who was still hugging him.
Rey(whispering): I'll miss you yar Ninja.
He got out of her arms carefully not waking her up. He moved towards the bathroom and readied himself. He came out of washroom to see Jugnu waking up. She rubbed her eyes lazily.
Jugs: Papa time kya ho raha hai?
Rey: 9 baje hai Jugs
Jugs: Kya???? Main school ke liye late ho gayi. Nai maa toh meri jaan le leingi
Rey: Jugnu aaj hum school nhi, court ja rahe hain
Jugs: Court? Per kyun?
Reyansh didn't know what to say further. How can he tell his daughter that she is going away from him when he can't tell the same to himself? He tried to look away from Jugnu but he forgot that his daughter is more intelligent than he thinks she is.
Jugs: Mujhe aaj chunna padega aapke aur nai maa ke beech mein?
He finally looked towards her and saw that she was crying. He suddenly got worried and ran towards her. He cupped her face and wiped her tears with his thumbs
Rey: Arrey ninja aise rote nhi hai. Tu toh bohot strong hai na?
Jugs: Mujhe nhi chunna papa
Rey: Tu pehle rona bnd kr aur meri baat dhyaan se sun. Aaj kuchh bhi ho, main tujhe hamesha protect karoonga. Tu meri beti hai aur court ka koi bhi faisla iss baat ko nhi badal sakta. Main hamesha hamesha tere saath hoon. Promise kr tu ab sad nhi hogi.
He forwarded his hand and asked for a promise. She wiped her tears and placed her hand on his. They gave each other a tight hug and he helped her to get ready. There was a lot of drama waiting for them...
