Part 2...
Kunal keeps staring at the number on the paper; too shocked to even remember that he was still on the phone with the journalist. "hello Sir, aap ho... Sir?" "Haan haan, main hoon. Kya tum sure ho ki yehi number hai?" "Ji sir," "Theek hai thank you. Tumne mere bahut madat ki" and Kunal cuts the call. Rooted to the spot, Kunal stares at the number, remembering his and Richa's discussion over coffee regarding the media byte and her concern.. "Toh woh sab ek dikhawa tha Richa..tum hi thi iss news ke peeche.. main tumhe apna dost samajhta raha aur tum..." Kunal thinks to himself, seething with anger. He goes out tells his father that some urgent office work has come up, takes the family car and goes to Thakral house to talk to Richa.
On entering Thakral house he runs into Ramlal, the Thakral's cook. "Ramlal, Richa kahan hai?" "Bibiji toh Rohit baba ke kamre mein hain, bulaoon?" "Nahin theek hai, main khud jata hoon" and takes the steps to Rohit's bedroom. On reaching the room, just as he is about to knock, he hears Raveena's name..."Raveena..ka naam Rohit kyun le raha hai..." Kunal thinks and keeps quiet (dekha... agar smart na hota...toh he would have barged in...😆), standing near the door in order to better hear the conversation going on inside...
"Rohit jab tak Raveena ki shaadi nahin hoti, tum iss ghar se nahi nikhal sakte samjhe..." "Di aap samajthi kyun nahin. Main Raveena se bahut pyaar karta hoon aur woh bas meri hogi, kissi aur ki nahin. Agar yeh Nisha ka case hum nahin harte toh woh kabhi meri zindagi se jaati hi nahin. Yeh sab uss Nisha ke karan hua hai...mera bas chale toh main usko maar doon! 😡" "Rohit, suno tum aisa kuch nahin karoge.. tumhe apni Di pe bharosa hai na.. Main sab theek kardoongi." "Aap kya theek karogi? Jab aapko pata chala ki main gunhegar hoon toh aapne kya kiya apne bhi toh mujhe thappar mara.." "Haan kyunki tum galat the aur main ab bhi kehti hoon ki tum galat ho, par Rohit maine phir bhi tumahar saath nahi choda...Agar choda hota toh woh CD Kunal tak main pohunchati Siddhi nahin...Aur woh CD hamare haat lagi bhi meri hi wajah se thi. Maine hi Raveena ko behlakar aur phooslkar manaya tha ki who CD ko chori karrke mujhe de.. aur tum mujhe..." "Agar aap mere saath ho Di, toh phir abhi aap mere kihaaf kyun khade ho?" "Rohiiit, yehi tumhari problem hai... Main abhi bhi tumhare saath hi hoon... Bas hame game thodi hosiyari se khelni padegi. Police ne tumhe Raveena ko phone karne se ya milne se roka hai... mujhe toh nahi...tum vishwas rakho. Raveena tumhari thi aur tumhare paas who khud aake kahe ki.. "ki main apni shaadi se bhag aayi tumhare liye Rohit. Ek poora hafta hai hamare pass' Vishwas rakho mujhepe." "Sachi di." "haan baba...aaj tak kabhi jhooth bola hai maine tumhe? "
Kunal hears all this while standing right outside the door and is infuriated as hell.
"Game, Richa meri behan ko shaadi se bhagane ke liye game khel ne ka soch rahi hai.. kya yeh wohi Richa hai jissme main itna pyaar karta tha.. nahin kartoon hoon? Aur Raveena aur Rohit.." Heartbroken and angry beyond words at what all he has just heard and seen, Kunal leaves Tharkral house, not trusting himself to face Richa without probably strangling her. Back in his car, he drives around for sometime hoping to clear his head but to no avail. Frustrated, he thinks of sharing the problem with someone and thinks of calling Siddhi..."nahin Siddhi ko main pareshan nahin karna chahta...Main Seema ko phone karta hoon.. "
He calls Seema "Seema tum abhi ghar pe ho?" "Ji Kunal bhaiyaa, kuch kaam tha? " "Uncle aur Vikram kahan hain" "Bhaiyya woh dono kissi business party pe gaye hain... kuch kaam tha aapko unse?" "Acha main tumhare ghar aa raha hoon, mujhe jarrori baat karni hai. " "Ji Bhaiyya par sab theek toh hai? " "Main tumhe aake batata hoon" and he turns the car towards Seema's father's house. Seema takes one look at Kunal's face and is alarmed "Bhaiyya kya hua apko" "Mujhe tumse bahut zarorri baat karni hai.. Ishani aur Anokhi kahan hai" "So rahi hai...dono" Saying so she steers him to the living room. Kunal sits on one of the chairs and recounts everything to Seema.. the media byte incident, how he blamed Siddhi, and how he found out about the true culprit. Seema's reaction too mirrors Kunals and she says "Bhaiyaa main jaanti thi ki Richa ziddi aur bigadi hui hai... par woh itna gir sakti hai.. yeh toh maine kabhi socha hi nahi tha... Aapki baato se saaf zahir hota hai ki woh aapke aur Siddhi ke beech mein misunderstanding create karna chahti thi.. aur kuch hadh tak woh safal bhi hui. "
"Seema maine kuch aur bhi suna. " "Kya?" and Kunal tells her about the entire conversation that he just heard between Rohit and Richa regarding Raveena "Raveena aur Rohit ke beech mein kuch...nahin bhaiyya aisa nahin ho sakta... " "Nahin Seema mujhe lagta hai kuch toh hai...tumhe yaad hai..umm... Anand aur Siddhi ki engagement mein yehi problem khadi hui this... " "Bhaiyya ho sakta ho ki yeh sab pyaar vyaar Rohit ke taraf se hi ho. " "Agar Rohit ki taraf se hota.. toh phir Richa yeh kyun kehti ki usne Raveena ko kaha ki woh Rohit ke liye CD churaye? " "Bhaiyya yeh baat toh Raveena hi bata sakti hain. Abhi raat ho gayi hai.. hum kal baat karein iske baari mein" "Nahin Seema aaj hi mujhe saari baati jaani hai. Aur agar Raveena sach much uss Rohit se pyaar karti hain.. toh main khud use maar daloonga." "Bhaiyya aap aisa kuch nahin karenge...har baar aap baat bigad dete hain, apne gusse ke karan, Agar aap mujhe vaada karte hain ki jab Raveen aayege tab aap kuch nahin bolengeaur mujhe sari baat karnedenge.. tabhi main usko yahan bulaongi..." "Theek hai..." Kunal reluctantly agrees. Seema calls Gaurav on pretext of showing some shopping to Raveena and requests him to get her to her house. Gaurav who was anyways missing Seema a lot😊, agrees immediately and promises to be there as soon as possible.
Gaurva and Raveena enter the house to find Kunal already there. "Arey bhaiyya aap, aap toh kaam se gaye the na.. " asks Gaurav😊. "Haan gaya toh tha.. phir socha Seema ko bhi milta chaloon." "Acha hua...ab mujhe company mil jayege; warna inn dono ki shopping mein main bore hi ho jata." and saying so Gaurav and Raveena join Kunal in the living room. Seema sits next to Raveena, puts her hand on top of Raveena's hand and says "Raveena...kya meri ek baat ka tum sachi sachi jawab dongi?" "Ji Bhabhi...kya hua?" "Tumhare aur Rohit ke beech mein kuch tha kya" Raveena is completely shocked and stammers "Nahin woh bhabhi... woh..." "Dekh tu dar mat.. .jo bhi hai bol de... Yahan pe hum sab teri apne hain...""Bhabhi main usse pasand karti thi par ab nahin. Jab se Nisha ke case ka judgement hua hai.. tabse maine use milna chod diya. Please bhabhi mera yakeen kijiye.. main sachi mein Vikram (😍) se shaadi karna chahti hoon... "
"Raveena kya tumne mere kamre se woh CD churaiye thi?" asks Kunal. Raveena is scared, bends her head down and says "Ji...ji bhaiyya... par tab main pyaar mein andhi thi... " Kunal gets up from his seat and moves towards her... as if ready to slap her...Seema seeing this also gets up and comes between Kunal and Raveena. "Bhaiyya aapne vaada kiya tha...aap apna gussa shaant rakhenge. " "Gussa shaant rakhoon apna...is ladki ne ghar se CD churaye.. uss thakral ke liye aur phir jab main Siddhi pe ilzaam laga raha tha.. yeh tab bhi chup rahi.. kya yahi seekha hai issene iss ghar mein reh. Hum logon ne apna sab kuch gawa diya... sacchiye ki khatir aur yeh ladki... " Raveena starts crying "Bhaiyya I am sorry, main tab pyaar mein andhi ho gayi thi... mujhe lag raha tha ki main theek hoon, mujhe Rohit par bharosa tha.. please bhaiyya mera yakeen kijye" Seeing Raveena cry, Seema sits down next to her puts her arms around her and says "Raveena.. agar tum Rohit se pyaar karti ho toh phir tumne Vikram se shaadi ke liye haan kyun kiya?" "Bhabhi kisi anjaan aadmi se shaadi karne se acha hai ki main apne sabse ache dost se shaadi karloo.. isliye maine haan ki. Sachi Bhabhi main Rohit ko bhool chuki hoon, maine Siddhi bhabhi se vada kiya hai.. main Rohit ko bhool chukhi hoon"
"Siddhi ko yeh baat pata hai" asks Kunal, surprised to hear Raveena mention Siddhi's name. "Ji bhiayya" "Aur usne mujhe batana zaroori nahin samjha?" thinks Kunal loudly clearly annoyed. "Bhaiyya bhabhi aapko batana chahti thi par maine unko rok diya...unki koi bhi galti nahin hai... infact unhone mujhse kaha tha.. ki main yeh sab Vikram ko shaadi se pehle bata doon... bas main abhi tak himmat nahin juta paayi. Aur jab Rohit ne mujhe pareshan karma shuru kiya.. toh phir Siddhi bhabhi hi police lekar usske ghar gayi thi warning dene." "Kya Siddhi police lekar Thakral ke ghar gayi thi?" asks Seema. "Ji Bhabhi. Please mera yakeen maniye main sach mein Vikram se hi shaadi karma chaati hoon". Seema pats Raveena's hand and says "Par hame yeh baat Vikram se nahi chupani chaiyye. Kya tu chahati hai ki main baat karoon usse? " "Kya aap kareengi bhabhi? Maine koshish ki hai.. par himmat nahi juta paayi" "Main kal hi Vikram se baat karoongi. Aur ab rona band" saying so Seema wipes Raveena's tear stained face. "Honewali Dulhan ke chehre pe smile achi lagti hai...udasi nahin. Gaurav aap please Raveena ko ghar lejayenge mujhe Kunal bhaiyya se kuch baat karni hai. "
Once Gaurav and Raveena leave, Seema sits next to Kunal and says "Bhaiyya, aap Richa ke bare mein soch rahe hain na?" "Haan Seema, kaise Richa ne aisa kiya mere saath? Dost hote hui bhi.. Pehle mere aur Siddhi ke beech mein misunderstanding create ki aur ab meri behan ko shaadi se bhagane ka plan bana rahi hai. Kya yeh wohi ladki hai jisse main itna pyaar karta tha?" "Kunal Bhaiyya, aap jante hain ki Maa hamesha kya kehti hai? Maa kehti hain ki pati-patni mein itna pyaar hona chaiye ki unke beech mein mis-understanding ki koi jagah hi na ho. Aur aapke aur Siddhi ke beech yeh pyaar aur jo pyaar ke saath vishwaas atta hai woh hai hi nahin" "Seema tum janti ho hamari shaadi kin halat mein hui thi.. Siddhi, Anand ki mangetar thi"
"Thi bhaiyya... hai nahin... Siddhi Aanad ki mangetar thi.. par ab woh aapki patni hai... Aur agar aap yeh soch rahe hain ki aap Anand ke aakri isha poori kar rahe hain Siddhi se naam ki shaadi karke.. toh aap galat hai. Anand yeh dekh kar bahut dukhi hoga ki aap aur Siddhi ek naam ke rishte mein bande hue hai...Woh Siddhi se itna pyaar karta tha ki usse duniya ki har khushi dena chahta tha.. aur aap bhaiyya Anand ki sabse badi khushi the... issliye jaate hue Anand ne apni khushi ko kaha ki woh uske pyaar ko khush rakhe.." Kunal hears this and tears fill his eyes.. "Seema... " "Bhaiyya main wohi keh rahi hoon jo main shuru se sochti aayi hoon... Warna aap sochiye.. uss din Anand ne aapko hi phone kyun kiya? Gaurav ko nahin kar sakta tha? Maa ko? Papa ko? Siddhi uska pyaar.. Bhaiyya agar aap Siddhi ki taraf kadam badhenge... toh Anand aaj jahan kahin bhi hoga usse khushi hogi... ki uske pyaar ko khushi mil rahi hai..."
Kunal listens to all this with his head bowed down. Seema continues "Bhaiyya Richa ke baare mein aapko pata hi chal gaya.Kya aap apni saari zindagi ek aisi ladki ki yaadoin mein bitana chahte ho jisne iss hadh tak jaake aapko pane ki koshish ki, jhooth bola,fareb kiya? " Kunal finally looks at Seema and says"Nahin Seema tum theek kehti hoon, Richa is layak nahin ki main apni poori zindagi uske naam kardoon. Voh akele zidd karke haasil karma jaanti hai..." "Toh kya aap bhaiyya...Siddhi aur aap... " "Main apni taraf se poori koshish karoonga Seema aur main kadam badonga... " Seema starts beaming at Kunal and hugs "Bhaiyya aap akdoo hai par ache bhi hai... Par dekona bhiyya... main maayke kya aaye, Chopra house mein aanson ki naidya behne lagi 😭😭. Aap ki aankhon mein aanson... Raveena roo rahi thi...uff! Mere bina kya hoga aap logo ka? " Kunal smiles at her and says "Bilkul theek... tumhare siva hame rasta dikhayega wala aur koi nahin hai... " and the two continue chatting.
After sometime Kunal takes leave and on his way out says "Seema thanks...tumne aaj meri bahut maddad ki varna main itna gussa mein tha...ki mujhe khud pata nahin tha ki mai kya karjata. " "Bhaiyya... sab theek ho gaya na.. main kal Vikram se baat karloongi, aur phir shaadi tak hame bas Richa ko Raveena ke kareeb aane se rokhna hai.. aur haan Bhaiyya aap abhi Richa ko kuch mat kahiye...ekdum normal act kijiye.. usse shak nahin hona chaiye ki hum uski asliyat jaante hain. " "Par Seema, tum jaanti ho mujhe.. main nahin kar paaonga. " "Bhaiyya itna toh aapko karma hi padeg. Richa ko ab aasani se nahi chodege hum... "
