Though Rakhi rang up Bani,Bani hid from her about Aakesh’s condition and asked her to continue in Kasi.
Bani took care of Aakesh in the hospital.Aakesh was speechless seeing how Bani was taking care of her.Bani went to pharmacy to buy medicines.
The nurse told Aakesh:You are lucky to have a loving wife.These days no wife will tolerate an alcoholic husband who has no health.But she is so patient with you.
Aakesh was moved by her words.
Bani returned and gave him medicine.Aakesh had the medicine.
Aakesh:Bani,I have always hurt you.Then why do you care for me?
Bani:For my Rakhi Maa.
Aakesh looked at her emotionally.
Bani:I have decided to take you to the alcohol rehabilitation centre.My friend Veeranshu has talked to them about you.Don’t object it.This time I will not listen to you.Atleast think about your mother who does’nt even know that your health has worsened.If you really love her,try to improve your health for your mother.
Aakesh:I will not object it.Because now I feel that I should get well for someone who cares for me..you.
Bani looked at him in disbelief.
Aakesh:You have opened my eyes Bani.I realized how much I hurt my poor mother. I will try my best to improve my health.
Bani smiled slightly.
Bani took him to the alcohol rehabilitation centre.Surprisingly Aakesh tried his level best to be away from drinks.Bani took care of him very well as well gave attention to the family business.This made Aakesh’s heart melt.
Aakesh:Again I am asking you Bani.Why are you taking care of me so sincerely?
Bani:I already told you.It’s for Rakhi Maa.
Aakesh:Just for Maa or any other reason is there?
Bani:What reason?
Aakesh:The nurse in the hospital had told me that only a loving wife can do the things which you do for me.
Bani was silent.
Aakesh:Do..Do..you..have feelings for me?
Bani was stunned by his question.
Bani:I really care for you and I genuinely want you to be healthy.Other than that I don’t know anything.
Aakesh:You are honest.No wonder that you can’t love me.No woman will love a gone case like me.
Bani:Why are you talking like this?
Aakesh:It’s true that I am a loser.
Bani:Don’t think like that.Rakhi Maa told me that suddenly you started drinking.But why?
Aakesh became upset.
Aakesh:I loved a woman named Monisha.But she betrayed me.I could not bear her betrayal as I loved her more than myself.I lost myself.I decided to commit suicide and purposefully I drove carelessly seeing a truck coming on my way.But unfortunately I did not die.But I became physically unfit.I completely depended on drinks.Bani…if you had entered my life earlier I would not have travelled on the wrong path.
Aakesh’s eyes were full of tears.
Bani wiped his tears.
Bani:Aakesh,don’t think about your past.Just start afresh. You should take care of your health and be a responsible son.Take care of your mother and family business.
Aakesh held Bani’s hand and said:I promise you that I will be a changed person for better.
Bani smiled.
Aakesh was lost in her sweet smile.
Aakesh:Your smile is very pretty Bani.
She smiled again:Your smile too.
They both smiled.
Aakesh looked at Bani sleeping.
He caressed her face lovingly which Bani did not know.
He went to his imaginary world where only he and Bani were there.
He imagined him and Bani in so much of love with each other.
Mujhe tum chupke chupke
Jab aise dekhti ho
Achchhi lagti ho
Kabhi zulfon se kabhi
Aanchal se jab khelti ho
Achchhi lagti ho
Mujhe dekhke jab tum yun
Thandi aahen bharte ho
Achchhe lagte ho
Mujhko jab lagtaa hai
Tum mujhpar hi marte ho
Achchhe lagte ho
Tum mein ai.. Meharbaan
Saari hain.. Khoobiyaan
Bholaapan saadagi
Dilkashi taazgi
Dilkashi tumse hai
Taazgi tumse hai
Tum hue hamnashin
Ho gayi main hasin
Rang tumse mile hain saare
Taareef jo sunke aise
Sharmaa jaati ho
Achchhi lagti ho
Kabhi hans deti ho aur
Kabhi itraa jaati ho
Achchhi lagti ho
Mujhe dekhke jab tum
Yun thandi aahen bharte ho
Achchhe lagate ho
Khoye se tum ho kyon
Soch mein gum ho kyon
Baat jo dil mein ho
Kah bhi do kah bhi do
Sochtaa hoon ki main
Kyaa pukaaroon tumhen
Dilnashin naaznin
Maahroo mahjabin
Ye sab hai naam tumhaare
Mere itne saare naam hai
Jab tum ye kahte ho
Achchhe lagate ho
Mere pyaar mein jab
Tum khoye khoye se rahte ho
Achchhe lagate ho
Mujhe tum chupke
Chupke jab aise dekhti ho
Achchhi lagti ho
Kabhi zulfon se kabhi
Aanchal se jab khelti ho
Achchhi lagti ho
Achchhe lagte ho
Achchhi lagti ho
Achchhe lagte ho
Achchhi lagti ho
Achchhe lagte ho.(Kuch Naa Kaho).
Veeranshu visited the rehabilitation centre to enquire about Aakesh.
Veer:How do you feel now Aakesh?
Aakesh:Because of Bani’s dedication I am feeling much better.
Veeranshu smiled at Bani.
Veer:Aakesh,Bani is your luck which only you got as your own.Please don’t make her eyes wet in any way.
Aakesh:Never!I swear…I will never hurt her.
Veer and Bani smiled.
Veeranshu and Bani got out of the room.
Veer:God has heard your prayer.Aakesh is getting well.
Bani smiled.
Bani:It’s because of you and Vandana’s husband Dr.Rahul.
Veer smiled.
Veer:Ok. I am leaving.
Bani:Veeranshu,just one second.
Veer:Yes Bani.
Bani:Why did you lie that Vandana proposed you?
Veer:It was a joke Bani.
Bani:But why did you do such a stupid prank on me?
Veer:I told you that it was just a joke.
Bani:Can anyone say such a cheap joke?
Veer:It was a useless joke on my side.Sorry.Anyways Bye.
Veeranshu walked off.
Bani was left confused.
Bani:Why I am unconvinced with Veeranshu’s answer?Why do I feel that he is hiding something from me?
Unknown to her,Aakesh was watching them.His face was dull.
Later Aakesh got cured and got discharged.
Rakhi too retuned home.Aakesh told her everything which happened in her absence.
Rakhi was stunned.She hugged Bani and wept.
Rakhi:You are the most precious thing we could get.Thank you so much for making my son normal like before.Because of you I got my son back.
Bani smiled:But please don’t thank me Maa.
Rakhi kissed her forehead.Aakesh smiled seeing their bond.
Bani was brought to the living room by Aakesh.She was surprised to see Veeranshu there.
Bani:Veeranshu!
Veeranshu:Actually Aakesh called me here.
Bani stared at Aakesh.
Aakesh:I only called Veeranshu here to surprise you both.
Veer-Bani were confused.
A lawyer came with some papers.
Aakesh:These are the divorce papers.
They were stunned.
