Part 8
Rashi: Dad, I knew you will definitely come for the engagement party.
Harbans: You are my only daughter. Nothing is more important to me than your happiness.
Ahem and Rashi is waiting for Gopi and Jigar. Both are trying their numbers. Jigar and Gopi are on their way to reach the venue. They are coming by taxi. Gopi and Jigar find Ahem’s & Rashi’s number ringing. They pick the call
Ahem + Rashi: Where are you Gopi? The guests are coming.
Gopi + Jigar: I’m on my way. There is so much traffic.
Ahem + Rashi: Fine, come fast. We are waiting.
Jigar and Gopi are coming with Jigar’s uncle, Param who is the only responsible person from his side. For Gopi, it is her uncle, Jeetubhai. Suddenly, they find the crackers are bursting. Gopi and Jigar get down from the car and find some people are bursting crackers. Jigar goes to stop them while some goons kidnap Gopi, beating up Param and Jeetubhai.
Jigar comes and sees that both have fallen unconscious with Gopi nowhere to be seen. Jigar gets some clues as to where Gopi is. He immediately calls up Ahem who is unable to pick the call. He tries Rashi’s number. She picks the call.
Rashi: Where are you Jigar?
Jigar: Gopi was with me. She is nowhere to be seen.
Rashi: OMG, Ahem, Gopi is missing.
Ahem: What? Just now I spoke to her. How ridiculous?
Rashi: We need to go to Jigar.
Ranjit: Don’t worry, they will definitely come.
Harbans: Ranjit is right. There is still plenty of time. You wait. They will come.
The goons tie up Gopi. One of them cuts her dress with the scissors.
Jigar reaches the spot and beats them up, rescuing Gopi who is in tears. Jigar consoles her. Some of them take their pictures together without their knowledge. They reach the place after Gopi wears another engagement attire.
Ahem & Rashi: You have come so late? We know there is plenty of time for our engagement. But we could have spent more time together.
Ranjit: You guys can still spend time. It is in the evening. The ones who came are from abroad. In the meantime, go and enjoy yourselves.
All of them go to the coffee day.
GoHem
Gopi: I know you are angry with me.
Ahem: Yes, I am. I was expecting you much earlier.
Gopi: We were on our way but some people had burst crackers on the way. When we came out, some goons had kidnapped me.
Ahem: We were talking over the phone & I suddenly heard your screams.
Gopi: Jigar saved me on time. Those people had torn my dress. I had to change my dress.
Ahem: No problem. after the party, we will find out who is behind this.
RaJi
Jigar: Some people had burst crackers. when I went to stop them, some goons had kidnapped Gopi. I had rescued her otherwise, I don’t know what would have happened to her.
Rashi: Good you saved her. Can you identify the person who did that?
Jigar: Yes, I can. We will investigate after the party.
Meanwhile, Ranjit & Harbanslal bribe Param with Rs.2,00,000/- to tell a lie against Gopi & Jigar.
Jeetubhai: What are you doing? Why are you bent on spoiling their lives?
Param: I am taking it because I need money. I will pay them back.
Jeetubhai: You give them back the money right away.
Param searches for them but he could not find anyone.
All 4 of them come back. Ranjit said, “Before starting the ceremony, I would like to introduce our children.
Ahem: What is the need for this dad?
Ranjit: I want to do it in a grand way.
He opens the projector with the presentation. All ae happy with their childhood pictures. suddenly, there is a slide in which it shows Jigar consoling Gopi.
Ahem: What is all this?
Harbans: Still you don’t know what these people are doing behind your back?
Ahem: Gopi has told me what happened. I know the story.
Rashi: Yes even I know.
Harbans: This is only one part of it. What proof do they have to say they are kidnapped? Did you ask them?
Jigar: Yes, I have. Uncle, please tell them what happened with us.
Param: what should I tell.?
Gopi: For God’s sake please don’t lie.
Jeetubhai: Yes, tell them.
Harbans comes there and said, what are you murmuring? Tell what happened.
Param: Gopi is a characterless woman who has been having an affair with Jigar. We were ready to get them married but both of them have other plans. They wanted to capture the property and run away. Gopi had even aborted Jigar’s child.
Jeetubhai & Jigar held his collar.
Jeetubhai: He is lying. I had seen him discreetly.
Ranjit: We didn’t give him any money. He came and told us the truth.
Jigar: Ahem, at least you believe me.
Ahem does not respond.
He goes to Rashi: At least you believe me.
Rashi: Don’t touch me. Ahem, tell them to leave.
Ahem: Please leave before I lose my temper.
Jigar: I won’t go unless I prove our innocence.
Ahem: Then your dead body will go.
Both start fighting.
Ranjit & Harbans smirk.
Gopi tries to stop te fight.
Ahem pushes her: Get lost
Jigar: Yes, we will go & come back with the proof. That is my challenge.
Gyanesh had recorded the conversation silently but he believed Ahem & Rashi would understand. But he is disappointed. He said, “They have told you, what they know but you are not believing them. You have broken 20 years of friendship with him.”
Ahem: I didn’t break.It was Jigar who did that. They have broken my trust. I have loved him as my own and this is what he did to me.
Jigar & Gopi leave.
Jeetubhai: You can stay with us.
Jigar: I don’t want to be a burden on you.
Jeetubhai: We have considered you as a family member. I trust you fully.
Param: I’m sorry.
Gopi: You have done what you wanted. Can you take back what you have told?
Everyone goes home.
