Recap: Mr.Singhania at Sanchi’s school…..A sweet act by the members of my kanchi family on the eve of Diwali….
Present time…..Rishikesh….

It ‘s the same day…evening time…..Kabir was sitting in the lawn & was thinking something…suddenly Veer came & patted on his shoulders & this made Kabir come out of his thoughts….
Veer: Bhai, what happened & what are u thinking???
Kabir: Chote…I think that I should confess about my feelings to Sanchi…..(Veer immediately hugged Kabir in excitement & breaking the hug)
Veer: Bhai, u r right….even I was thinking the same that when will u propose bhabhi…..(he again hugs Kabir)….I’m very happy bhai…..now Sanchi will be my bhabhi….
Kabir: But what if she says no???

Veer: Offo bhai….not only Rishikesh…but there is not a single girl in this whole world who can say no to my bhai…(Kabir gives a “kuch bhi” waala look to Veer) & about Sanchi, u don’t need to worry…. I have a feeling that she also likes u but is not confessing……Arey it’s every girl’s problem…they feel that it should be the boy who should propose first…as if their image will be down if they will confess ….But anyways, if u have made up your mind, I won’t stop u from confessing…..

Kabir: But chote, I want to reveal my real identity to her, my mission, my past….everything…. but tumhare kasam ki wajah se, I stop myself from confessing….I want that our relation should be based on Truth…..Trust & Honesty are the foundation principles that binds all relationship, without which no relationship can ever exist…& I don’t want that….so…
Veer: ok ok bhai….I understood…..chalo, maine aapko apne kasam se azaad kiya…(Kabir smiles)….but yeah, I’ve two conditions…

Kabir: & what is that???
Veer(keeping his arms around Kabir’s shoulder): My first condition is…..Even though the date & time of ur proposal will be of ur choice, but the place & everything will be of my choice…. I would make all the arrangements…
Kabir: Agreed…..what’s the second one???
Veer: You would reveal ur identity at the end, only after Sanchi bhabhi says yes to ur proposal…
Kabir: Agreed…..aur kuch???
Veer(pretends like thinking): Hmm…..no….only this much for now……
Kabir: Ok chote miyaan….& they both laugh….

Now scene shifts to Mr. & Mrs.Singhania…..Since due to some technical faults, their flight has been cancelled, but as Kritika(KS) was adamant to reach Delhi for her children at any cost…So, Vikram(VS) & KS were returning to Delhi through a car…..(& yeah….only VS & KS….no driver….)…..Suddenly their car broke down in the middle….VS came out to check the faults….in the mean time, while looking here & there, KS’s eyes fell on a little puppy which was injured…she came out of the car & picked up the puppy….it’s legs were bleeding….she tied her hand kerchief to the legs of the puppy & was moving towards the car when suddenly a car came & hit Kritika…..Vikram was hell shocked at this…..”Kritika!!!!!!!!!”…..shouted VS & immediately rushed towards her…..Kritika was in a pool of blood….VS placed Kritika’s head on his lap…The person who hit KS, immediately stopped his car & came back towards KS….

Vikram(looking at the man): Are u blind? Don’t u know how to drive? How….KS stopped him by saying,” he was… not to be… blamed….It was… all her fault….”…..she said this with a lot of difficulty…

Man: I’m very sorry sir….Actually my child is ill & I was taking her to the doctor….I was in a hurry…so…I’m sorry….very very sorry….KS interrupted him in the middle….
KS: No bhaiyya….u don’t… need to apologize….It was… all my fault, I should have…. been careful….U plz go… fast….ur child…needs u….
Man(folding his hands in gratitude): Thanku so much madam jee….I don’t have words to describe what u have done for me….All I can say is….Bhagwaan aapki har ichchha ko poori kare…aapka aur apke bachhon par kabhi koi musibat na aaye….hamesha khush rahein…saying this he leaves from there…..
Vikram: Kritika…..(he was crying badly)
(bg music….Kal Ho Na Ho sad waala music)

Kritika: Shhh…..let me….let me say…. u ‘ll never cry….always…. remain happy…u’ll take….care of urself &…..our children….Raj….never remembers to….take his…lunch box….make sure…he takes it….he doesn’t open up…his problems….so easily….u need to…behave like a….frnd with him…for this…Vishal(he’s minor asthma case in my ff) needs his…pump occasionally….so make….sure he has it….all the time…. give one puff… from the inhaler, always with….a spacer….ask him to….take four breaths from….spacer….give three more puffs, with…four breaths….between each.& make….sure…to keep an….additional one…pump… in his….drawer….in his…study table….Ruhi sleeps…only when she….listens to a….lullaby or….bed time….stories….her bed time….story book….is kept in the…drawer of ….the desk at…the side of the…bed…& make sure….her bella(her teddy) is….with her….without bella…she never sleeps….(Vikram is still crying…& saying,”stop it…nothing will happen to u”…Kritika says….”let me complete”)….Juno is….fed twice….once….morning & then…in the evening….Robin….should follow…his study chart &….abt u….u don’t take…much stress in ur…work…take….ur bp medicines in….time…..& she starts breathing heavily….

Vikram: No Kritika….plz don’t say this, I’ve already informed, doctors would be here any moment….u plz stop saying like this….
Kritika: I just have….one unfulfilled….wish….apne bachchon ko bade….hote hue nahi…dekh payi….but I know….our…kids will be fine…when u r….with them…..

Vikram(still crying…keeps his hand on her hand, with other hand below her hand): Promise….
Kritika smiles & her hand slips from his…..”Kritika….Kritika”…..Vikram calls her shaking her….Doctors arrive at the place & check her…”I’m sorry….She’s no more”……..Vikram broke out into tears holding Kritika’s deceased body in his arms…..(bg.Kal Ho Na Ho music still playing…)

Next day morning
Scene shifts to Delhi….where the three children r eagerly waiting for the arrival of their parents…in their new dress….off course, it was Diwali….
Ruhi: Offo bhaiyya…when’ll mamma papa arrive?….I want to show them my new dress…& she flaunts her dress in style….
Vishal: Yes bhaiyya…even I can’t wait any more…
Raj(Making Ruhi sit on his lap & Vishal by his side): Don’t worry…they’ll come soon…now I’ve to go & help Robin bhaiyya with the decorations….who’s going to come with me?
“ME”….both Ruhi & Vishal said by raising their hand…..They left for decorations & all…& Juno also followed them….

Suddenly the calling bell rang
Ruhi, Vishal: Mamma & Papa came!!!…& the three children ran towards the door…Robin opened the door…& on looking at the view, stood there like a statue….dumb struck…Vikram was standing outside with two people behind him(hospital ward boys)…held Kritika(dead body) in a litter(stretcher)…The children were confused looking at Robin, so they themselves came to the door to see outside…..yes….they faced the worst situation(or gift) on this Diwali…..they lost their mother….The ward boys placed Kritika’s body & left…..everyone was in a big shock…. Vikram….children…. all stood there like a statue….just like the time has stopped in that moment……The children left from that place crying….Vikram went after them….hugged them….consoled them….even if he was crying from inside, he was consoling them….finally the children came down….hugged the corpse of their mother…broke down into tears…..After some time, the last rituals were performed….Vikram hugged his sobbing children….Robin & Juno were also present there…& finally they returned to their home…

Pragya(shook Sanchi…making her come out of her sapnon ki duniya…hehe…): Abeo….What r u thinking so deeply?
Isha(with a smirk): Or rather we can say…SOMEONE?…& she winks
Sanchi(blushing): No…Nothing like that….I’m not thinking abt Kabir….(she bite her tongue realizing what she just said)…
Pragya: Oh ho….Kabir……But Sanchi, when did we mention his name?
Isha(keeping her arm around Sanchi’s shoulder): Tell us…what’s all this?…We r besties right…no secret between us…..

Sanchi: Ok Ok……Guys, I think….I think I’m in Love….I’m in Love with Kabir…..
Isha: Really?…..Sanchi nods her head in approval…..the trio smile & have a hug….
Pragya: Does he know?…..”No”….said Sanchi
Pragra: Then what r u waiting for? Go & confess ur luv for him…
Isha: But Pragya…it should be Kabir who should propose first, not Sanchi….
Pragya: Ok Isha devi jee……(Pragya thinking something & then)Sanchi, u do ur work….me & Isha r having some work, we’ll just come in some time(Isha looked confused)….
Sanchi: What? Anything important? Need help?
Pragya: No No….just like that…..u do ur work….& she leaves the place dragging Isha along with her….
