SUBTLE WORDS UNTIL THE DUSK : TEN SHOTS AT KRIYA [SHOT -6]

AT PRATIGYA’S HOME

Pratigya ; Maa please speak to me , Please say something.

Paapa : How can she speak beti ? From that day onwards she has went to depression. She is leading a mechanical life , I tried a lot. Neither medicines worked, nor treatement and none of our consoling words helped her to recover from this state of mind.

Pratigya recalls the flash back.

She was dressed up in her bridal attire . A guy named Daksh was going to marry her

The marriage rituals were going on. Suddenly a lady comes with her child .

Lady : Stop this marriage soon. This man is a cheater. He is my husband. He is the father of my child.

Pratigya : Yeh sab kya hein Daksh ?

Daksh : She is just blaming me , don’t believe at her words. I am seeing her just now only .

Suddenly her kid calls him Paapa

Lady : Still you can say you are not her Paapa ? Mr. Daksh Khurana ? You betrayed me because I was from poor family and I haven’t given dowry full as payement . How cruel are you daksh ?

Maa : Daksh I considered you as my son rather than my son in law. Chee !! You are money minded person . You are educated person naa, How can you cheat a woman for not bringing dowry ?

Pratigya : I didn’t expect this from you Daksh.

Paapa : Daksh , when your proposal came I didn’t enquired much. You are educated and having job at a private company and that was enough for me to give my daughter’s hand to you.

Daksh : This lady is mad. She is doing fake dramas only. I am seeing her for the first time . Do you have any proof that I am your husband ?

Lady : This is our marriage certificate

She handovers it to Pratigya’s Paapa.

Paapa checks it.

Paapa : What’s this Daksh ?

Daksh : Everything is happening because of this stupid woman Priya and her child Rupali. I will kill them

Pratigya ; How you knows her and her child’s name Daksh ? You said you don’t know her .

Daksh : Woh…

Daksh turned angry and he moved towards Priya. He slapped her .

Paapa : What are you doing Daksh ? Is this is the culture you have born and bought up ?

Priya : He is a fraud, Aunty. He has tortured me in various ways. The parents which he bought here are not his real parents . They are fake . He was cheating your daughter.

Pratigya and her Maa gets shocked

Pratigya : That means you lied to us. My paapa believed in you and that’s why he was going to register this home at your name . I was trying to stop paapa not doing that thing in a hurry. But now I realized why you was behind me , you are a thrid rate criminal. Instead of asking dowry directly you manipulated my paapa’s mind and he blindly trusted you thinking that all of his property will be owned by his one and only daughter and it will go eventually the one who marries her. What a cunning man you are ?

Daksh in anger takes a pistol from his coat’s pocket. He moved towards Rupali and pointed gun at her forehead.

Paapa : What are you doing ? She is your daughter .

Priya : Please don’t kill my daughter.

Daksh : I warned you not to stand as hindrance at my way. But you did it. Now you will face the consequence.

Pratigya comes forward and holds his hand.

Pratigya : Daksh I hate myself for trusting you . My heart has burned now for loving you without knowing you in real sense. But I am leaving all my pains is standing for the right of this woman and her child. You are not supposed to do that.

Daksh again tried to kill the child, Pratigya was trying to stop him.Mean while Pratigya’s dad make a phone call to the police . In between all these happenngs his finger went on trigger and a bullet was shot on Pratigya’s neck.

Maa : Pratigya !!!!

Pratigya’s maa fainted on the spot. Pratigya fell down as unconscious.

Paapa : Pratigya, Neha !!!!

FEW DAYS LATER AT A HOSPITAL

Doctor : Dpn’t worry bullet is been removed. Your dad bought you and your Maa at the right time .

Pratigya : How is my Maa doctor ?

Doctor : She has underwent depression. She saw her daughter being gun shot before her eyes. It has adversely affected her brain. And at that shock she has become

Pratigya : What doctor ? Please tell me the truth .

Paapa : Your maa will never speak Pratigya. She has become silent and her silence of face is giving more pain rather than what all tragic things happened at our lives.

Pratigya : What ?

Doctor : She has lost the capability of speaking Pratigya. Now let’s pray to God. Apart from medical science human mind and heart are definitely unexplained. Let’s pray well. I will give medicines. But I can’t assure anything .

FLASH BACK ENDS.

Pratigya wipes her tears.

AN : DUE TO MY ILL HEALTH EPISODE IS DAMN SHORT. I WILL GIVE UPDATES WHENEVER I FEEL WELL.
