Kalyaniwas heartbroken when her Pillu’s custody washanded over to Sampada and thejudge had ordered Malhar and Sampada to staytogether and raise her Pillu together.
“ Aai mai na thode din Mumbai jaarahi hoon. Pleasekisi ko bhi yeh baat mat batana. Please aai.” She pleaded withAnupriya.
She was in a desperateneed for change. All this drama had taken a heavytoll on her.
“ Par Kalyani tum Mumbai akelekaise rahogi?” Anupriyaasked, panicking.
“ Aai, mai koi doodh peeti chottibacchi thodi hoon kiakele nahi rhe sakti? Aur waise bhi, bas 1 week ki hi tohbaat hai. Uske baaddekhna tumko wohi Kalyani milegi jisko tum roz meri aankhonmein dhoondhti ho. Promise.”Kalyani answered.
“ Theek hai Kalyani, par agar koimujhse poochega tohmai kya bolungi ki tum kaha gai ho?” Anupriya asked, alittle unsure.
“ Tum bol dena ki mai kuch dinapni dost ke ghar Punegayi hoon.” Kalyani answered.
“ Aur rahogi kahan?” Anupriyaasked.
“ Mumbai mein Baba aur Madhuri neek farmhouse liyatha. Wahi pe.” Kalyani told Anupriya honestly.
“ Tum dil mein 2 baar phonekarogi, time par khaanakhaogi aur ro gi nahi.” Anupriya schooled her.
“ Done.” Kalyani exclaimed,hugging her aai.
Unknown to this mother- daughterduo, Malhar had heardeverything, he was dying to confess his feelings to Kalyaniand saw this as aperfect opportunity do so in Mumbai.
Malhar went to his room andanimatedly started talkingto Moksh.
“ Mokshh, tere baba ko ab Kalyanise….nhi nhi matlabteri aayi se bolna hi padega warna Mumbai jaa kar wo mujhkotoh pakka bhul hi jayegi.Chalega na tu apne baba ke saath Mumbai?” He asked.
Pillu giggled.
“ Malhar, I am going to Delhiwith Atharv for somework for 2 weeks. It is your responsibility to handleMoksh. Here is the courtpermission.” Sampada entered his and Kalyani’s room,shouting.
“ Haan toh chilla kyu rahi hoSampada? Yaha koi bhibehera nahi hai.” Malhar taunted her.
She made a face and dashed out ofthe room.
“ Ek dum chudail hai yeh.” Malharsaid to Moksh in ababy voice.
Pillu giggled again.
This was the perfect opportunityfor Malhar to go withKalyani to Mumbai.
Malhar then went to Anupriya.
“ Maayi, maine aapki aur Kalyaniki baatein sun lithi. Please mujhe address de dijiye Mumbai farmhouse ka.”Malhar said.
“ Malhar, kuch dino ke liyeKalyani ko akela chod do.Usko zaroorat hai.” Anupriya said.
“ Maayi, mujhe Kalyani ko bataneki zaroorat hai kimain usse pyaar karta hoon. Abhin ahi bataya toh wo mujhegalat samaj baithegi.”Malhar said.
Anupriya understood and nodded.
“ Haan Anupriya ji, iss gadhe koaddress de hi dijiyepar isske saath hum dono bhi jaayenge warna pata nahi yehkya kare wahan? Kalyanipar robb jhadne laga toh?” Saarthak said, entering theroom.
“ Kaka, kuch bhi?” Malharexplained.
“ Saarthak ji, Malhar toh bahutsamajhdaar hai, mujhetoh Kalyani ke reaction ka dar hai. Woh pyaar shabd se hidoor bhagti hai jabseuske, wo kya kehete hai angrezi mein….., haan boyfriend sejhagda hua hai.”Anupriya revealed everthing without realizing.
“ Kya! Kalyani ka boyfriendhai!!” Malhar shouted.
“ Malhar 2 din ka boyfriend jabvoh Pune mein rehtithi. “ Anupriya cleared the confusion.
“ Uk ladke kit oh mai…” Malharcouldn’t complete hissentence.
“ Aayi….aayi.” Kalyani wasshouting for Anupriya.
“ Malhar, tum chup jao warna Kalyaniko pata chaljayega.” Saarthak said and Malhar immediately hid under the bed.
“ Kaka aap?” Kalyani asked,entering the room.
“ Haan woh Anupriyaji se kuchbaat karni thi. Tum kahijaa rahi ho?” Saarthak immediately changed the topic.
“ Haan bas kuch din apni dost keghar Pune jaa rahi hoon.”She lied smoothly.
“ Theek hai. Dhyaan se jana.”Kaka said.
She nodded, hugged her aayi andwent away to the taxi.She wanted to see her Pillu but she knew that she won’tbe able to leave afterseeing him so she sat in the taxi.
“ Bhaiya, airport chaliye.” Shesaid.
She had lied to her aayi too. Shewas going to leave Aurangabadand shift to London permanently. She had got hervisa done a week before.
But unknown to her, the car shewas sitting in was nota taxi. Actually Malhar had asked one of his constablesto take Kalyani toMumbai for her safely.
The constable was confused butstill nodded butmessaged Malhar that Kalyani had asked him to take her to theairport.
When Malhar read this message, hewas furious.
“ Kalyani! She is going to theairport.” Malharannounced in front of Anupriya and Saarthak.
“ Usne jhooth bola mujhse. WoLondon jaa rahi. Uss dinjab maine usse poocha tha ki uske bag mein UK ka koipaper kya kar raha that ohuske chaalaki se baat palat di. Mujhe laga ki apnekhurafati dimaag mein kuchpaka rhi hogi par aise bhaagna.” Anupriya said,breaking down.
“ Anupriya ji, sambaaliye khudko. Hum sab abhiairport chalenge aur tab aap Kalyani ko jee bhar ke daantna.”Sarthak tried toconsole her.
“ Malhar, Moksh ko jaldi lo aurchalo.” Saarthak said.
Malhar nodded.
On the other hand, Kalyani wassilently crying in thecar. She was leaving behind the most important relationto her in this wholeworld. She was leaving her aayi, her Pillu and Malharji butshe had to do it sthat everyone is happy.
She hoped that for Pillu’s betterfuture, Malharji andSampada reunite and give her Pillu the world’s happiness.
She was in denial mode. She didnot want to fall inlove, yet she did with Malharji. But she will never acceptit, not to anyone,not her her.
She will never be vocal about anyof this and leavefor the greater good.
“ Madam, airport aa gaya hai.”The driver said.
She paid him and then wenttowards the entrance whenshe heard a very familiar cry. It was her Pillu.
She immediately turned in theopposite direction whereAnupriya, Saarthak and Malhar were standing with Mokshin his arms who wascrying badly.
In that very moment, she couldn’tsee anyone. Not heraayi, not her kaka and not her Malharji. All she couldprocess was her babycrying and she ran in their direction and snatched Pillufrom Malhar.
“ Mera bacha, kya hua? Kisnerulaya mere Pillu ko? TeriKalyani usko aisa dhoyegi na ki yaad rakhega whoinsaan.” Kalyani talked toMoksh.
“ Iski aayi ne rulaya hai isko.”Malhar answered.
“ Bas bahut ho gaya iss Sampadaka ab. Main uske haathtod dungi.” She shouted.
“ Tumne shaayad theek se sunanahi Kalyani, maine kahaki uski aayi ne isse rulaya na.” Malhar said again.
“ Haan Malharji, maine exactlyyahi suna.” Kalyanisaid with full attitude.
“ Tab toh tumhe pata hona chahiyena ki Moksh ki aayikaun hai.” Anupriya said.
“ Haan aayi…” Kalyani started.
“ Moksh ki aayi tum ho Kalyani,wo Sampada nahi.” Saarthaksaid.
Then realization stuck her.
Her Pillu was crying because ofher.
“ Pillu, I’m so sorry but I haveto go beta. I knowthat you will not trouble your baba and nani. I love you.”Kalyani said,handing Pillu over to Anupriya and made a run back to enter theairport.
“ Aise toh mai tumhe jaane nahidoonga Kalyani.”Malhar said, holding her wrist.
“ Dekhiye Malharji, ,mera jaanabahut zaroori hai.Please samajhiye.” She said with tears in her eyes.
“ Tum samjho Kalyani. Hum sab kotumhari zaroorat hai.Maayi and Moksh ka ro kar bura haal hai, kaka ne mujhedhamkee di hai ki agarunki beti chali gayi toh vo mujhe kabhi maaf nahi karengeand mai….” Malharsaid, making Kalyani turn towards him to come face to face.
“ Kabhi socha hai mere baaremein? Kya hoga mera jab tumchali jaogi? Ek baar tut chuka hoon Kalyani aurtumne waapis joda hai. Ab agartum chali gayi toh jhalaad ban jaunga.” Heconfessed honestly.
“ Dekhiye Malharji, aap Sampadake saath rahiye aurMoksh ko acchi parvarish deejiye. Mera koi kaam nahi haiyaha.” Kalyani said,attempting to break through the grip of Malhar’s hand onher waist.
“ Toh tum waapis nahi chalogi?”Malhar asked.
“ Nahi.” She replied.
“ Theek hai, phir tum mere paaskoi chaara nhi chodtiho.” He said, picking her up in bridal style.
“ Malharji, chodiye mujhe.”Kalyani started kickingand punching.
“ Ladki ko chod.” A man said.
“ Meri biwi hai, aur kuch kehnahai?” Malhar asked theman angrily. The man went away.
“ Yeh zabardasti hai Malharji.”Kalyani said again.
“ Malhar tum iski mat suno. Gaadimein bithao aur gharchalo. Iski khabar toh main ghar pe lungi.” Anupriya said,sitting back withSaarthak in Malhar’s jeep.
Malhar started driving.
“ Aayi, tum gussa ho?” Kalyaniasked turning back.
Sarthak covered his face with hispalm and Malharapplied the break all of a sudden due to Kalyani’s stupidity.
“ Nahi Kalyani, gussa kyon hongimain? Ulta main toh gharjaakar tumhari aarti utarne wali hoon……chappal se.”Anupriya said.
Moksh laughed loudly.
“ Haan beta…..sahi hai. Hans letu apni Kalyani ki majboori pe." Kalyani said, looking at her Pillu.
" Kalyani, mera beta apnimaa ko uske naam se hi bulayega isliye uske samne Kalyani Kalyani mat kiyakaro. Ya toh apne aap ko uski maa bolo ya aayi bolo." Malhar said sternly.
" Lo phat gaye atombomb." Kalyani muttered.
" Kya ?" Malhar asked.
" Ma...Ma...Meramaatlaaab..." Kalyani started stammering.
" Apna matlab apne paas hirakkho." Malhar said.
At the back seat Anusar gave eachother looks indicating, ' inn dono ka kuch nhi ho sakta' and our Pillu had avery cute smile on his face.
