SUBTLE WORDS UNTIL THE DUSK : TEN SHOTS AT KRIYA [SHOT -7]

AT PRATIGYA’S HOME

Paapa : Pratigya, are you fine ?

Pratigya : If I say truth then you will feel sad Paapa.

Paapa : And if you don’t say truth I will always feel sad beti.

Pratigya : After Daksh’s arrest and my recovery you all suggested me to apply for job transfer. Because you all want I should change my mind set. And moreover this village people were showing fake sympathy over me because my marriage was broken . And who will give their son to this house for marrying this unlucky girl so and so……I never bothered about what they said but I felt much pain when my Paapa suggested me to go Mumbai and to stay at Chaacha’s house. I felt I am a coward who is vanishing somewhere , even though I am not very bold . But after seeing the harsh reality now I can suffer the toughest phases. I obeyed my Paapa’s wish leaving my Maa at this ill state with my Paapa with a heavy heart. The bitter fact is every time I am feeling much pain Paapa. But when you said that third rated criminal is been released by law’s loop hole and now with the support of some corrupted politicians he got much money and he is building a big flat before our home my anger went to peak level. I was out of control. But I respect my Paapa’s words and have kept a silence on watching his evil deeds without raising a question. This is troubling me a lot , Paapa. Apart from the dark memories Iam grateful to that lady and God who bought truth to us. Other wise things would have went worse. Our home got saved from his dark hands. And whenver I thinks about you and Maa I feels what kind of daughter I am who left her parents alone at their sorrows ? How can I be fine then Paapa ?

Paapa : Pratigya!!

Pratigya burst out tears and she hugged her Paapa

Pratigya ; Paapa when will all these problems get a solution ?

Paapa : God always give tests , we need to go through it Pratigya. Certainly a ray of light will arrive at our lives. I believe so . Don’t lose hope.

AT MUMBAI [ NEAR ATHARV’S HOME, NEXT DAY MORNING ]

Atharv : Vividha tum yahan ?

Vividha : Happy Birthday Atharv

Atharv : Thanks But how you came to know that today is my birthday ?

Vividha : Atharv will you drop me at a place ?

Atharv : Yeah sure. But you haven’t answered my question.

Vividha : I will tell you everything . Here at this road side I can’t tell much.

Atharv : Okay

Vividha sits at Atharv’s bike.

Atharv rides the bike . He dreams Vividha holding him tightly and lying at his back while the ride

Jaana naa dil se door title track plays.

After a while at Vividha’s instance Atharv stops bike near a temple which was at a hilly area. They visits the temple and while walking down Atharv holds Vividha’s hand

Atharv : Vividha , are you alright ? You seems confused

Vividha : I am alright. Please take your hand back.

Atharv : Oh!!

Vividha : Atharv I want to tell you something . Before that I was praying to God to know if this is the right time to tell you or not ? And I was able to take the right decision . I mean if now I won’t tell it then things will be much late and we will lose ourselves.

Atharv : I didn’t get you.

Vividha handovers a key chain .

Vividha : This is my gift to you, Atharv. Do you remember it ?

Atharv : Oh my God!! This is …

Vivdiha : Your Paapa always run a scooter and it’s key had a key chain at which his one and only son’s name is been carved. Whenever he runs this scooter and looks the key chain he used to feel that his son is sitting before him which will make his ride happier. He never changed this key chain. But one day he give this key chain to some one.

Atharv : Who was very much important at his life. Paapa told me that I will find that person one day whom Paapa had given this one . He told me that person is my well wisher. Hey naa ?

Vividha nodded her head.

Atharv : Itne saal kyun chup thi tum ?Vividha ?

A FLASH BACK IS SHOWN [FEW YEARS BEFORE WHEN VITHARV WERE AT THEIR RESPECTIVE COLLEGES]

Atharv : Hi Vividha

Vividha : This is girls only college. And why you came here Atharv ?

Atharv : Vividha , I told you early I won’t leave you until I gets the clear reply from you.

Vividha : Your college is almost 25kms from my college. That means you have bunk your morning classes and has arrived after noon break just to meet me.

Atharv : Classes kaa kyaa hein ? Professors aayenge, bak-bak karenge aur jaayenge. This time is for enjoyement .

Vividha : I am not interested in any sort of enjoyment by bunking classes. I give priority to my studies. So please you may leave .

Atharv : Vividha

Vividha : Tumne suna nahi ? Should I need to complaint to Principal Mam ?

Atharv : No no….I am going. But when you gets free time just think about me. Okay

Vividha : Out!!! Please…..

Atharv ; Yeah, bye….

Atharv leaves. Vividha turns back to college entrance.

Right after his exit a middle aged man arrived there.

” Vividha ”

Vividha : Ji

” Mein Atharv ke Paapa hoon. Mera beta kuch zyada hee pyaar mein paagal hein. Lekin dil ka accha hein, Tumhein disturb karta hein naa , Uski taraf se mein tumse maafi maangta hoon .”

Vivdiha : Uncle Please. You are elder than me. Please don’t say sorry . What you said is right. Atharv is good guy and I know it much well. But I don’t want him as a wandering guy by bunking classes.

Paapa : What do you mean ?

Vividha : Uncle I think this is not the right time for these kind of things. I mean we are studying in final year and this last semester is much important . We need to gain good marks so that we will get better opportunities. I want to do something for my brothers who took care off me so well. My bade bhaiya who dropped his studies and went for work so that our family could become financially stable , my other two brothers are hard working and they want me to study well and that’s why I am here. I won’t lie uncle if I will also render my heart’s feelings to Atharv then that crazy guy won’t stop climbing on the madness of love. He will push me also towards him which will certainly distract minds and I won’t be focus at my studies. But it doesn’t means that I have skipped all feelings . Certainly it’s at my inner soul not from now right from that day when he frankly expressed his heart’s desire before me at our school days. Please don’t get me wrong uncle. I want to finish studies, do well, achieve a career and certainly I think that will be the right time when I can open my heart to Atharv.

He laughs

Vividha : Uncle you are laughing, I am serious.

Paapa : Beti, Why can’t you say it directly to my son ?

Vividha : If I will say this he won’t agree. He will make fun of me. But if you will say then I am sure he will listen you Uncle

Paapa : Me, but how can I say your heart’s feelings ?

Vividha : Not the whole thing. You just tell him to focus on his studies and warn him that he should not bunk classes. And it’s not his sole ambition, it’s the dream of his parents. Uncle you have worked much hard for your son’s upbringing. Now it’s his time for him to look after you. For that he need to stand at his feet. And I promise when that time arrives I will certainly reveal everything to him. For now you just tell him that apart from you a well wisher certainly wants to see his growth, his success .

Paapa : Children grows up soon, I realized that truth today only. Even though I used to scold him slightly when his marks came low I won’t paid much attention towards his life. But now I have to seriously think about it. Meri hone waali bahu ne joh command kiya hein usse follow karna hee padega

Vividha : Uncle, aap ….Mujhe bahu kaha . Maine apne dil kee baat sabse pehale aap se kahi hein Uncle.

Paapa : I respect your decision Vividha and I am so happy that my son’s choice is the best. Better than you no one can leave . One thing when he will ask me about who is the well wisher what I will say ?

Vividha : Uncle , give that key chain

Paapa : Beti iske bina toh mein reh nahi pawunga.

Vividha : I will keep it as precious. This is the identity of the well wisher. At the right time well wisher will gift this to Atharv. It’s my promise.

Paapa : Done .

Vividha touches his feet and seeks blessings .

FLASH BACK ENDS

Vividha : When I heard that your Paapa is no more, my hands were trembled. I was unable to believe myself that the man whom I left a week has gone away. I cried a lot ,but didn’t had the guts to arrive your home and see him finally. Atharv after his demise I saw a progressive change in you. You started doing part time job with studies , you became topper of the college and finally you got a successful carreer also. You were certainly not a wandering guy, but you hadn’t left the habit of following me . Whenever you came infornt of me I wished I could express everything. But seeing your witty and playful face, I keep pretending ignorance and anger by making you wait . So that you will again come and propose me. Every time you did it in new ways and trust me it bought so much happiness to me and I never realized time is passing. That day when you came home and I served you coffee I understood that destiny had bought you for me. I said everything with much guts to your Paapa , but I can’t say it by looking at your eyes, Atharv….I am…..

The clouds went rainy and Vividha’s eyes were clouded with tears of feelings. Atharv looked her keenly.

Vivdiha also looked Atharv’s eyes keenly.

Atharv : It’s not too late, it’s the beginning of our journey. I am proud to say that I got a true soulmate. My paapa was right. Better than you who can love me these much deeply from heart ?

Vividha : I am sorry for making you wait.

Atharv : The more you made me to wait my desperate desire to make you as mine increased only, it had grown up much. For you I will certainly achieve more and more. You valued me very much , especially you give respect to my Paapa who was a motivation to so many people. But being a lazy son I always put my playful smile over his advices and you motivated that man to motivate me which is really great , Vividha. My paapa will be seeing this from heaven and he will be blessing you, I am sure.

Vividha : Atharv ……

Atharv : Thanks for coming to my life, Vividha …….Words doesn’t need to express always as your eyes are telling and I can see full of love in them for me. That’s enough for me. I love you Vividha….

Vividha : Atharv!!

They hug each other passionately

Vividha : I can’t live without you, Atharv… I waited for this so long….

Atharv : I am always with you Vivdiha.

He wiped her tears and kissed at her forehead

Atharv lifts her in arms and they get more closer

AT RADIO STATION

Krishna recalls his moments with Pratigya.

What’s happening with me ? Why I am still thinking about her ?

Suddenly alarm of the clock hits at 6 pm and he realized that now it’s time for him to present SUBTLE WORDS.

“Oh No, Atharv is on leave today. That’s why I forget , but what I should talk now. He close his eyes for a while and Pratigya’s smiling face comes to his mind

Krishna starts his programme . Mean while at Gujarat Pratigya also switches on the radio to listen him

“Hi friends, It’s me your RJ Krish. I hope all of your day went well. Friends some one told me that If a person can be the reason of smiles at many faces then certainly he is doing a wonder ”

Pratigya’s mind voice : Yeh toh maine kaha thaa Krishna se.

” Friends, Today we will going to talk about just one word – SMILE !!! Wow when you hears this word many of us would have smiled and that’s what this RJ Krish. There can be a lot of problems, pains , but if you keep a smile at your face and show it to your family, your loved ones they will become happy. Just a small task., widen your lips and if you want to show teeth definitely you can. And if you feels your teeth are not good , then just hide it and smile. Miles can keep apart but smile can bring you and your loved ones closer. ”

While listening this programme Pratigya observes that her Maa was smiling.

Pratigya ; Maa !! you are smiling. Paapa come fast .

Paapa : What happened beti ?

Pratigya : Paapa, Maa …See Maa is smiling….

Both of them looks her emotionally.

” Smile is like a medicine which can give thousand of hopes to that person who is infront of you. ”

Paapa : Who is this guy ? After so many months finally we see a ray of positivity and it happened because of this guy’s inspiring words.

Pratigya : Paapa he is and RJ. I know him. He is working in Mumbai. His name is Krishna.

Paapa : Beti you need to thank that guy for giving hope to us. May god bless him

Pratigya : Sure Paapa.
