My Word is My Bond… Part – 24

Scene – 50:
Sammy: Yes Neil Sir… They are right… It is better you move forward letting go of me…
Ladies were literally shocked. They were even more shocked hearing to Neil’s words.
Neil: Right Sammy… It is better for me to move forward… And I’m doing that…
All were like ‘what is wrong with him’.
Neil: (He walked forward with his eyes fixed on her.) And I’m doing it right now… (He carried her in his arms shocking every single soul and walked forward.)
Sammy: (Was dumb-struck seeing his action. She wasn’t able to even react.)
Pinky: Oh my mata… Iss ghar mein kya ho raha hai…? Aapa, Jethani ji…
Dilshad: Relax Pinky… Mujhe mere beta par poora bharosa hai… Voh meree bahoo ghar laega…
Sakshi: If that is going to happen, trust me, I’ll be the happiest person… Kam se kam meree betee ka zindagi tay ho jaega…
Payal: Ma… Sab theek hoga… Please don’t stress…
Anjali: Mein ek baath bol hoon…?
Arjun: Haan doll bol…
Anjali: Nikki bhai ne tho aap sabsee romantic or best nikala… Kuch seekho… (And eyed Krishna dangerously at the end.)
Haider: Maana padega yaar… Nikki ne tho… He did something beyond my expectation…
Radzie: Going out of his character…
Anika: I just hope she doesn’t complicate things being stubborn…
Sakshi: Your fear is right… She is too stubborn like her mother…
Shaurya: (Who was stepping in the house.) Who is stubborn like whom…?
Sakshi: You… You’re stubborn like me… Happy…?
Shaurya: Stop being a baby mom… (His eyes were searching for someone.)
Payal: (Understanding his mind.) She isn’t here…
Shaurya: (Nodded his head affirmative.)
Sakshi: Ok Dilshad, I think I should take a leave… Want to get the dresses altered too… Your other daughter-in-law too got her dress selected and few alterations are required… I’ll make sure dresses reaches you before time…
Dilshad: Okay… Please be here on time tomorrow… As a family…
Sakshi: Sure…
Raj: (Who entered in.) Sakshi, what was happening here…?
Sakshi: What…? I was having a word with Dilshad regarding the costumes… And she invited us…
Raj: Don’t try to be over-smart Sakshi… I pretty well know that you understood what I’m asking you… So speak up… And yeah, I saw a guy with Maira just now… It was clear that she was avoiding him…
Sakshi: (Puffing.) Because she has gone mad…
Shaurya: Mom… (Sternly.)
Sakshi: Oh please Shaurya… Don’t show me your attitude… And yeah, it is for both of you, stop being over-protective on her… She is in safer hands… She just needs two tight slaps so that she comes out of her self-hurting trauma…
Shaurya: One sec… Are you by any means trying to say that the guy whom dad saw with her has some kind of feelings for her…?
Sakshi: Congratulations… You found it…
Shaurya: (Rolled his eyes.) Mom… Take it as my concern or warning, if she feels same for him, well and good… If not, I’ll be the end of people who try to hurt her… I’ll not let any such things to happen where she is forced… (And walked off.)
Sakshi: (Slapped her head.) (To Raj.) Now what are you waiting for…? Speak what you want to… (Huffing.)
Raj: Sakshi I understand, you want happiness in our kid’s life… But let me remind you Shaurya’s words… I’ll not let any such things to happen where she is forced… Otherwise, I’m the most happiest person like you… Let’s hope for the best… (Even he walked off.)
Sakshi: Hey Durga maa… I don’t know what you were thinking when you created this father-son duo…
Meera: Relax mam… Everything will be fine… If not, what are we for…?
Sakshi: Hmmm…
Gauri: Aur maa ji… Sammy di is lovely and was been craving for love since a long time… She won’t let it go…
Sakshi: Hmmm… But a stubborn head too… That is what worring me… Anyways, let me take a leave, need to get the dresses ready on time… See you all…
Anika: Aunty ji…
Sakshi: Yes dear…?
Anika: (Holding her right hand, she placed a little pouch on her hand and closed her fist.)
Sakshi: (Gave her an questioning look.)
Anika: (Understanding.) Sammy always wanted to give this to her mother, unfortunately who is no more… But I remember her saying she does have a mother whom she can offer this… I’m pretty sure it is you… I even know her, she would love to see you wearing this, but will never dare to give this to you… So, I thought I’ll help her out…
Sakshi: (Smiling with tears. She cupped Anika’s face in her palms and kissed her forehead.) I don’t know how long you had been with her, but I’m sure after you entering her life she would have been happy…
Anika: (Shaking her head right and left.) No Aunty ji… She was having a happy life even before life got us together… And the reason for her happiness are right over there… But yes, we do have our own bonding, an extremely strong one…
Shivaay: Yeah… An extremely strong bond… And you both are same, would never want to give a chance to your own happiness… (And stormed out.)
Arjun: (Sighing highly, walks to Anika. She never raises her head from the floor. He pulls her into his arms.)
Anika: (She willingly surrenders herself in his embrace and breaks down completely.)
Arjun: (Tightens his grip on her every passing second, as she sobs hard.)
Sakshi: (Steps forward, caress her hair and once again kissed her head, and walked off, wiping her own tears.)
Arjun: (His gaze fell on Dilshad.)
Dilshad: (Gestured him to take her to her room.)
Arjun: (Nodded affirmative and took her with him.)
Breaking the silence,
Jhanvi: Meera… Dear, I have some work on arrangements, would you please help me around…?
Gauri: Arre… Maa ji… Why are you asking…? Just let us know what is to be done, we’ll do it in an instance…
Pinky: Tum jethani jis kee nahi, mere helps kar… Chal…
Gauri: Jaisa aap kahen…
(Pinky and Gauri walks upstairs.)
Jhanvi: Meera, chal hain…?
Meera: Ji…
(Meera and Jhanvi too leaves, towards study room.)
Dilshad: Radhu… Baccha, go get some rest… I want you to be fresh tomorrow… Anju, take her to the room and even you rest darling…
Radzie & Anjali: Ji… (And walked to their room.)
Dilshad: (To Krishna.) And you… I think, I asked you to meet me once you’re done with your work… Why didn’t you meet me…?
Krishna: Sorry mam…
Dilshad: Meet me in my room, exactly after ten minutes… Understand…?
Krishna: (Nodded affirmative.)
Dilshad stepped out leaving Krishna with Om and Haider.
Krishna: (Shaking his whole body vigorously.) Ufh… She is extremely the same as he described… Yeh mujhe bhaaree padenge…
Om: (Slapped his back and pulled him into an arm hug.)
Krishna: (Hugged him.) Omi bhai, mein toh mar gae…
Om: (Ruffled his hair and chuckled, hugging him back.)
Haider: What is happening here…?
Krishna: (Giving him a bored look.) (To Om,) You didn’t tell him yet…?
Om: No… Yet to reveal the truth to Shivaay and Haider…
Shivaay: (From behind.) What truth…?
Om: (Cutting him off, Krishna speaks.)
Krishna: You tell them the truth… I’ll go meet Ammee, if not my death statement is for sure… (And ran upstairs.)
Shivaay: Om… What was that…? And why was he calling Ammee…
Om: (Cutting him off.) Because he has all rights too…
Haider: Simple se savaal poochha tha par tum usse kitana complicate kar rahi ho Om…?
Om: Chal… We’ll talk in my room…

At once they reached Om’s room, Arjun and Neil too joined them in a row.
Haider: At least now speak up you long hair creature…
Om handed them the pics Krishna showed them on the other day. They were shocked looking at the pictures.
Shivaay: Yeh…
Arjun: Yes Shiv… He is our little K…
Om: He is yet to reveal many truth… But we preferred to give him some time, as he asked for…
Shivaay: Can’t wait to meet RK uncle…
Haider: (Was silent the whole time.)
Neil: Haider… (And touched his shoulder.)
Haider: (Came out of his shock, wiped his tears and rushed out of the room.)
The rest followed him.
Haider spotted Krishna in the corner of the hallway, he approached towards him. Without any warning, pulled Krishna into a tight hug. Krishna was initially startled, later understood the reason and reciprocated the hug. Shivaay, pulled him away from Haider and hugged him tight.
Krishna: Arre yaar… Aap log itnee imotional kab se ho gai…?
Collective voice: Shut up…
Krishna: (Showed a puppy face.)
The rest chuckled.
Krishna: Ok fine, before anyone spot us together and raise questions, we should spread out… So see you bhais, bhai jaan… (He ran from the spot not waiting for their response.)
Haider: Guys… Something is really worrying me now…
Shivaay: What…?
Haider: If he is our K, where was he and how was he leading his life…? We all know what happened years ago… All thanks to God that RK uncle is safe and sound, but the struggles they could have faced is… (He couldn’t complete it.) You guys can guess…
Om: He has a point… I don’t want him to struggle anymore… At least not alone anymore…
Shivaay: (Noticing Arjun in deep thoughts.) Ajju… What are you thinking about…?
Arjun: The same… I had the same doubt since he revealed him being our little K… So, I had asked Arjun, our ACP sab to look into his past… Hopefully we’ll get the details soon…
Neil: Good that you did… In the joy of getting him back in our lives, nothing reached my head…
Om: Hmmm… Same…
Shivaay: But when did all this happen…? And why weren’t we aware about it…?
Arjun: On the same day Sammy was hospitalized… Just few hours before reaching hospital on the other day… Thought of letting you all know at once we reach hospital, but there came so many other concerns…
Haider: Does Radzie and doll know about him…?
Neil: Radzie, yes… Doll, no…
Haider: Hmmm…
Om: By the way, Mr. Malhotra, what happened with Sammy…?
Neil: (Sulking.) She is really one stubborn head… Was repeating the same thing again and again, “I’m not the right person for you… Please let go of me…” At one point, I lost my sense and screamed back not to take decision on my behalf, I know what is right for me and not… Ziddee ladki…
Arjun: She is not wrong Nikki… And I can understand what is making her do that… I think, I should speak to her…
Neil: Kuch toh kar… But please uske dimaag mein yeh baath zaroor daal do ki voh mere liye bahut important hain… Please… (And folded his hands and bowed his head in front of Arjun dramatically.)
Shivaay: (Knocking his head from behind.) Dramebaaz…
Neil: Whatever…

Cutting off every single soul’s trance,
Arjun: Shiv, you remember right tomorrow is your engagement too… With a girl, who is not Anika…
Shivaay: Excuse me… (He was about to walk off.)
Haider: Stop running from the truth Shiv… Either accept the truth or fight for what you love… Don’t be idle… You may loose something very precious…
Shivaay: I lost it even before gaining it Haider… There is nothing more to think… (He walked out.)
Haider: Great… (With sarcasm.)
Om: Guys, I want his life settled and happy… And it is possible only with Anika and kids… Ajju…
Arjun: We can’t rush Om… We’ll see, what could be done… Let’s take it slow… And trust me, we’ll not let anything to be forced on any of them…
Haider: Hmmm… Above all, I want the dirty ass to be out of her life and kid’s life… It is trouble to have him near them…
Arjun: I know… But no idea, how to keep him far away from Anika and kids…
Neil: No Ajju… He should be close to them…
Haider: What rubbish…? Had you lost your mind Neil Malhotra…?
Neil: Chup re… Listen to me completely… We want him, to pull Ani and kids out of his clutches safely… We want him, to provoke Shiv to fight for his love… Kuch samajh main aaya…?
Haider: Samajh mein toh aah gai… Par… Nikki, it is hell risky… We all know what kind of monster he is… We can’t risk their lives…
Arjun: Haider, I agree with you… But we have to take risk to put an end to this mess… And we all are here right, we’ll be careful…
Haider: (Sighing deeply.) Fine… I just hope, we don’t fail them…
Om: We won’t… Now let’s leave, we have two engagement tomorrow, at least one is to be celebrated…
Arjun: (Smiled.)
All turned towards the voice to find Meera,
Meera: You guys are here…? I’m searching you all since eternity… (And huffed.)
Neil: Kyun…?
Meera: Chaar thappad dene ke liye… Chaahie…?
Neil: No thanks… Voh tum usse de do… (And pointed towards Haider.)
Meera: (Smiled.) Hogai tera…?
Neil: Yup…
Meera: Ab chup… (To Arjun.) We started with the decorations, if you have any likes/dislikes or any allergies, please tell me so that I can arrange accordingly…
Arjun: Nothing in particular Meera… But do ask Radhi, maybe she would love to say you something…
Meera: Oh hell yes… Madam had given me a long list…
Neil: Then get started with them… Maybe, at the end of the day, you find time insufficient…
Meera: Sure… Where is the other groom…?
Om: I think he is downstairs…
Meera: Oh ok… By the way, do any of you have any allergies particular on flowers/food…? Please let me know, so that I can avoid them…
Neil: Nothing from our end… But Haider is…
Meera: (Was marking down some points, and spoke in her own trance.) Haider is allergic to marigold flowers and peanuts too… That is already marked… Anything else…?
Neil: How do you know about his allergies…?
Meera: (Realized her mistake and lifted her head to find Neil with a teasing smile.) Voh… I have to make a call to the caterers, I’ll be right back… (And rushed from that place not waiting for any response.)
Haider: (Smiled wide.)
Rest laughed at her antics.
Neil: Bhai… Tujhe toh abhi vakt hai… Manage to get through it…
Haider: I hope I don’t turn around things more complicated…

Lots of Love,
