Recap: months are passing after laksh’s death…

Today was again karwa chauth after laksh’s death…. Both ap and dp were tensed….

Ap: I hv always celebrated this day as a festival… N today also i’ll perform every ritual by my heart but….. But wht will I say to ginni…

Dp signs her to stop… They look at the dining table where ragini is eating heR sargi….

Dp: wht is she doing???

Dp moves forward.

Dp: ginni beta wht r u doing??

Ragini ( teary eyed but still smiling…): papa… Today is karwa chauth na so I’ll keep this vrat to get lucky in all my births. ….. U only told na that by keeping this fast i’ll get lucky in all my births….. So wht if he left me In first birth itself ?? I’ll keep this fast till my last breath so that I get him in my every birth…..

Ap and dp looks on teary eyed…

…. Say na papa.. I’ll get him na?? Lucky always used to say that his buddy never lies. …. Say na papa. …. Say na…

N she burst out crying….. Ap goes n hugs her…. Dp stands there still looking at the broken state of his daughter… He goes from there while ap consoles her.. ….

Dp comes in the balcony of laksh’s room…. He looks above at the shining stars….. A layer of tears forms in his eyes…..

Dp: when I was a kid I used to search my mom dad in these stars and today I’m searching u my son…… ( pause ) where ever u r….. Ginni’s questions… Ginni’s tears… . R troubling u also like me….. When I lost u I thought that I hv got the biggest pain of my life…. But seeing ginni I realised my pain was nothing in front of her’s……… Nothing……. After loosing u she has forgot to smile…… With each passing day she’s getting away from life…. N I don’t want to lose her………. That day… ( he closes his eyes recalling the deadliest day of his life…) that u wanted….. Ur eyes wanted to say something to me….. But I couldn’t understand due to the pain n fear of losing u……. But….. But now I hv understood wht u wanted to say………….. ( he looks up..) u r happy na buddy????? U r happy na???????

He looks at the stars for sometime as the tears in his eyes dried…….

After few days Dp came to gadodias house…. He looks at the photoframes kept on the chest of drawers…. He picks up the frame of sanskaar’s pic’s ….. Shomi comes there….

Shomi: arre bhaisaab when did u came?,

Dp: yeah just now…..

Shomi: How’s ginni,,,????

Dp sighs.): she’s not the same girl now whom we took from this house…….

He looks at the frames….

Dp: this….. This boys whts his name?? Ginni’s friend??

Shomi: sanskaar…

Dp: hmm…. Sanskaar….. Where is he now a days??

Shomi: after ginni’s marriage he shifted to London so may be he’s there only….

Dp: London……..

Dp’s pov!

I knew beta u were in London as u hv told me but I wanted to see whether u hv told abt ur whereabouts to anyone or not??? Beta I’m coming…….. Ur love was true…… Very true………………

After few days in London!!!!!

Dp comes in an auditorium where it was all dark….. Music starts playing in….. He sits on the chair……

(((( on the stage a person’s back is shown as he comes down from above with the help of wires……… He turns around and starts singing…… Dp looks on….))))

Har Manzar Har Lamhaa, Ye Paagal Dil Tanhaa – 2
Betaab Rehataa Hai Ye Kehataa Hai Ha Kaheta Hai
Mahafil Main, Akele Main – 2 Tujhe Yaad Karta Hai, (Ha Karta Hai) – 2
Har Manzar Har Lamhaa

(((((( sanskaar sings as everyone hoots for him…….. Pain, loneliness, anxiety everything can be clearly seen on his face in his eyes………. ))))))

Tu Door Rehake Bhi Paas Rehati Hai
Tu Bin Kahe Bhi Kuch Kehati Hai
Main Bite Khawbo Main Doob Jata Hun
Main Har Jagah Bus Tujhako Pata Hun
Har Khushbu Har Mausam, Har Saayaa Har Aalam
Betaab Rehataa Hai, Ye Kahata Hai, Ha Kahata Hai
Mahafil Main, Akele Main – 2 Tujhe Yaad Karta Hai, (Ha Karta Hai) – 2
Har Manzar Har Lamhaa

#(((((( the girls dance around him as he continues to sing. . . Dp looks on at the rockstar!!!)))))))

Ye Keh Rahi Hai Ab Wafaa Meri, Naa Bewafaa Tu Naa Khataa Meri
Hai Rahen Mujhase Ab Judaa Teri, Tu Khush Rahe, Hai Duaa Meri
Har Dhadakan, Har Sapnaa, Har Chaahat, Har Aarmaa
Betab Rehataa Hai, Ye Kaheta Hai, Ha Kaheta Hai
Mahafil Main, Akele Main – 2 Tujhe Yaad Karta Hai, (Ha Karta Hai) – 2

(((((( sanskaar sings and dance like a star and at the end sees dp sitting there…. He wonders what he is doing there….))))))))

He’s giving autographs to his fans when dp waves his hand towards him. Sanskaar excuses himself and comes to dp…

Sanskaar ; hey uncle…

Dp: So u recognised me??

Sanskaar: of course u r laksh’s dad….

Dp smiles.

Sanskaar: So u here coz of some business or wht??

Dp: no.. For some personal work…… From u…

Sanskaar: oh… So yeah tell me….

Dp: I don’t think it’s the right place to talk

Sanskaar: o yeah… Come….

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Dp and sanskaar are walking ? on the streets of London covered with jackets…
Dp: So How’s u??

Sanskaar: bas uncle life is going on…..

Dp: n ur family….

Sanskaar: yeah they r also good…..

Dp: y didn’t u marry till now???

Sanskaar ( chuckles ): someone said that I don’t have marriage in my fate so……. Btw How’s my best friend ginni???

Dp: after so many years u remember her finally??

Sanskaar just smiles sadly.

Dp: she’s very sad…. She’s has forgot to live.. forgot to smile…. Lucky has given her the pain of lifetime……

Sanskaar ( angry ): I hv told him if he made ginni cry then I’ll kill him….

Dp: no… Now u can’t do that also….. ( he looks on confused ) lucky is no more. …

Sanskaar ( shocked ): wht?????

Dp nods….

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Dp and sanskaar are sitting on the pavement… Its night already….. Dp has told him everything how they all were living happily, birth of ansh, raglak’s silly fights.. Everything….. How after laksh’s death the environment of their house changed… How ragini and ansh were affected after the huge loss in their lives….

Sanskaar: ginni was so happy with laksh….. After loosing her love she won’t be able to live……..

Dp looks on…

…… She loved him very much. .

Dp: and you??? How much you love her???

Sanskaar: more than life….. But wht was love for me it was never beyond friendship for ginni……. N my love… My love wanted to see her happy n her happiness was laksh … So after giving her responsibility to laksh I came here.. Very far from her…… But now?? How will she live?? How????

Dp: of course she can live again… If she gets new breath… New direction to her life…. With whom she started her journey of love left her in between from where all the ways have closed and now only sadness, suffocation, suffering is only left…. But I… I hv to find a way for my daughter amd I’ll find one….. And in that I need ur help…….. If u want u can bring back the lost colors of ginni’s life…. If u want u can take lucky’s place……..

Dp looks at him but he remained mum…

…… I know it’s not easy to accept a woman who’s someone’s wife… Who’s mother of someone’s child….

Sanskaar: no uncle… Thas not the thing… ginni is my love… She is my happiness…. But I know she won’t agree…. She will not give laksh’s place to anyone…. Anyone……. N uncle ansh… How can he just give his father’s place to anyone. . He don’t even know me……

Dp: its difficult sanskaar… But not impossible… N abt ansh… Beta he needs his buddy back…. N I’m sure u’ll be his buddy no matter wht….. It can happen if u’ll support me…… So say will u help me in bringing the old ginni back????

He looks at sanskaar with his hand forward… Sanskaar looks at him and then at his hand…. He smiles a bit and then places his hand on his……..

They both hug each other and then leave for the airport to reach their destination….

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

In plane…….

Dp’s pov!

Buddy.. I hv cleared one step for ur wish…. I know it’ll be difficult but for my buddy I can do anything… I know only sanskaar can bring back colours to ginni’s life and I’m proud that u r my son…. My buddy who thought abt ginni even while going… ( his eyes becomes moist ) no buddy I won’t cry coz u always wanted me to stay happy.. …… Buddy I hope now everything will be alright.. Haina?????

Sanskaar’s pov!

Ginni after five years I’ll see you… I don’t know how u will react?? I know ginni u r broken but distancing urself from life will not solve ur problem…. I can’t even imagine how u might be feeling but I assure u that I’ll bring happiness to ur life again….. I know u’ll not give laksh’s place to anyone n I also promise u that ginni i’ll never try to take his place but yes I’ll make a different place in ur heart which won’t affect laksh’s place…… I just want to see u happy n as uncle said that only I can bring that smile back on ur face that’s y i’ll put my life also in bringing back the lost spring of ur life……….. I promise u all that I’ll bring back the old ginni……….

Finally sanskaar is here guys… Ur wait is over….. Pls do comment and tell me how was it….. Ur comments really do matter…..

Ik I’m very late but wht all happened in last few days has totally screwed me up…. I was so frustrated that how our teja’s award was given to someone else who don’t even deserve it… I’m feeling so angry…… n how happily that woman is flaunting the award which she didn’t won but was given as charity… I’m so sorry if there are any die hard HELLY SHAH fans here but I couldn’t stop myself….. I even dont want her in my ffs but u guys know she’s there so we hv to bear it… But I promise she won’t be there in any of my new ffs……… ?????????????? I’m just so fed up with her and her so called dumb fans who don’t leave any chance to degrade teja… ??????? gosh….

Well leaving that matter.. I just wanna say keep loving teja ( ik u already do but still ) and also you all too keep smiling and rocking!!!!
