*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*
Annapurna chokes putting a hand on her chest, Sujatta screams putting her both hands on her mouth, Ragini too… everyone starts talking around not understanding what is happening, Ram Prasad stops his wife from running to her son shouting:
“- what’s all that Sanskar! How could you do that to us?…”
Keeping his eyes straightly rived on Adarsh ones, he says:
“- I’m sorry Dad… sorry Mum … sorry everyone… but I had to… Baihya has played so many tricks to our family… has made us a drama family serie to watch on TVs’ primetimes…”
He goes to the table on which the just signed papers were laying and brings him with a remote in his hand which he put in his backside pocket, as Adarsh tries to take the papers from his hands, Sanskar frowns saying:
“- Don’t worry… I’ll not tear them… ek second…”
He takes his phone and makes a call:
“- all done, Nikhil… go ahead…”
Adarsh frowns not understanding, he starts:
“- Sanskar! If you think that I believe in…”
Sanskar puts his both hands on his shoulders muting him and brushing away invisible dust there he says :
“-Baihya … I know that Sulikha aunty, to save her daughter’s marriage had turned this story upside down so my sweet kind gentle elder brother became devil from day to other… but I’ll not blame her… haa aunty… ha babhi… believe me! Problem isn’t yours… problem is in my so called Baihya …”
Showing a first signed paper to him, he says:
“- you didn’t even read those papers while signing, hai na bhaiya?… do you remember this?..”
He brands a paper at his face:
“- this is a demand to court, you know it na?… you proposed this paper to bade papa, five years back when he asked you what to do with this young son who didn’t to listen to elders… I blamed Laksh and bade papa for what happened then… but what I forgot was… was that I had my elder brother who kept supporting me… saying that I should follow my heart… the same elder brother who proposed the perfect punishment to his dad… take off name, wealth, rights and everything…”
“- I started working in the family society during my studies when I was only seventeen and you kicked me out for my so called mistakes… I made my own society and gave it to this family on a golden plate and you just snatched it saying that I was wanting YOUR money!… payback time, Baihya … payback time!”
Sanskar looks back to Laksh who standing stunned in his place and claims:
“- Lucky!… remember Lucky… who helped you going out in nights behind bade papa’s back… who enjoyed seeing you follow my track and eagerly called the lawyer to apply the same punishment…”
Taping Adarsh’s cheek with a small smile, he says:
“- payback time Baihya … long time before the awful past months… you were already just like him!… you wanted to ban the two other sons from this family… our dear bhabi tried to end your work with the unique daughter we have!”
Looking around to the guests he says:
“- I’m sorry to wash our dirty clothes in public but kya karo… I had to end the show mera bhai started months ago…”
Returning to Adarsh he continues:
“- how do you find my show, Baihya? The last act of the play you started it months ago… blackmailing Ragini… kidnapping a baby… trying to kill him… raising your hand in your father’s face… treating your mother as a servant… and what? You appeared on TV wiping your tears and saying that this family tortured you taking off your rights… do you remember this interview Baihya … bade papa was watching your performance when he had a heart attack and what you did? Mock his death… here in this house… I was so shocked to see you heartless… I mean… he was your FATHER… or oops! Sorry… now I understand… he wasn’t… you have your “baba” hai na…?”
Pushing him back almost making him fall he saying his tone filled with disgust:
“- YOUR CRIMINAL blo*dy BABA!!!”
Showing out another paper at his face, he adds:
“- this one deletes all the transactions you made with his black hidden traffic societies… “Maheshwari and sons” never washed dirty money in their work!”
Taking the remote from his backside pocket, he switches on the big plasma TV on the wall saying:
“- this last paper is the most important… because ha… Maheshwaris never let their revenge…”
On the news channel was images of police raids on hangars, societies, parks… seizing goods, arresting people… the journalist was announcing:
“-… as per sources… after a reign of decades, the greatest bengalan godfather seems trapped after one witness finally gets courage to denounce him… reports are saying that those operations are going in synchronization all over the country…”
Sanskar smiles at the fearful expression covering his brother’s face, he says:
“- ha Baihya … YOU ARE THE WITNESS and THIS IS YOUR DEPOSITION…”
Parineetha runs to sustains Adarsh who lose balance and exclaims:
“- you can’t do this to your him, Sanskar! How dare you!?… he’ll kill him… papa ji… mummy ji… Adarsh has always been a son for you how can you do this to him?… Sanskar… Laksh… Adarsh is your brother…”
Annpurna makes some steps toward them, standing at Sanskar’s side she says with a shaken with tears voice:
“- when he obliged us to reject Sanskar and Swara, he wasn’t his brother? When he threatened to burn all badi at night to kill them… he wasn’t their brother?… when he paid police to beat Laksh all the night, he wasn’t their brother?… when he mocked the sacred sindoor promising his sisters in laws and promised that one of them will be killed , the other jailed… he wasn’t their brother?… tell me Adarsh… what have I failed in, so your heart filled with all this hate toward them?”
Sanskar holds her shoulders as she’s about fainting and says:
“- leave it bade ma… he did worst… he trapped Laksh in mafia traffic…”
Turning to his younger brother, he explains:
“- ha Lucky… that newspaper wasn’t there by coincidence… that dirty work wasn’t offered by coincidence… the case you were involved in brought you to Banares… where I met with Dida… and it was her who filled the blanks when I told her all what our family had lived… diamonds traffic… family destruction and a name came out… a name which meant a lot for Maheshwari family!… Laksh’ is closely protected till now without his knowledge… no one escapes mafia wars!”
Submerged by anger, Laksh takes Adarsh by his collar shouting:
“- how could I be so blind!…”
He gives him a punch in his left cheek throwing him to the ground
“- Adarsh!”… Parineetha runs toward him to help him standing straight, Laksh adds:
“- I’m ashamed to have called you once, Baihya!… chii!”
He’s about beating him again but a hand on his shoulder stopped him, Sanskar’s eyes meet with his:
“- nahi Lucky… don’t mess your hands with him… he doesn’t deserve that…”
Laksh remembers the last time they met months ago… he remembers their dead fight and the words they exchanged… how much he tried to explain him… even today he’s saving his life from that gangster’s life…
His eyes fills with tears as guilt overwhelms him and they both plunge in each other embrace… when they get apart, Laksh hits on his chest with his both hands saying:
“- I’m mad at you too!!! How could you make us live in that hell!!!!!???”
He hits him again making him back off more and adds:
“- what were you trying to prove, ha?”
Another hit almost makes him fall, he continues:
“- … That we can’t live without you? Ha!”
Shekar helps Sanskar to take his balance, he says calmly:
“- bas beta… bas… your brother did all that for you and your family…”
Durga Prasad precise:
“- ha Laksh’… Sanskar was in mission with police to finally catch that man! He couldn’t risk anyone’s life doing all that and had to appear like dead to approach him…”
Sanskar walks toward Adarsh saying:
“- ha… what kept this man safe for all those years was his no relationship with anyone!… no one could approaches him… but his son…”
He puts a hand on Adarsh’s shoulder smiling:
“- his unique heir… has access to everything…”
Fixing his eyes, he says:
“- and I had the access to his son!… hai na, ji?”
On the last word Adarsh widens his eyes surprised, he reorganized his body guard and driver Aman on the tone of voice and the eyes in front of him, he pushes him away shouting:
“- son of…”
“- ADARSH!!!”
Durga Prasad’s angry voice stopped him, Sujatta escapes her husband’s grip and comes to him, she slaps Sanskar hard on his cheek saying:
“- how dare you, ha? Didn’t you think about me…”
“- mum…”
He tried to calm her unsuccessfully; she keeps hitting on his shoulder saying:
“- you didn’t care for our hearts? Who do you think yourself? Superhero…?”
“- mum, please…”
He just hugs her tight to stop her when she burst out crying in his arms, he caresses her hair soothing her and says breaking their embrace:
“- I’m sorry… but I swear I couldn’t do other way, if Adarsh didn’t think I was really dead… so he would always be on his guards, they were keeping an eye on Laksh who didn’t know anything about that…”
Durga Prasad explains:
“- when Shoba ji came back from Banares with Sanskar and told us about her theory about that gangster and regarding the risks on family members, we decided to let this secret just between the four of us… Even Shekar ji never talked about that to Sharmista ji…”
Ragini approaches them shattered about all the situation and says wiping her eyes:
“- and was it that much wise, Sanskar?… did you really think about ALL the consequences?”
Parineetha smiles evilly saying to Adarsh:
“- Don’t worry Adarsh… their paper is nothing, if you deny everything at court, then nothing can happen to baba…”
Shekar smiles replying:
“- you can retire the deposition about all your “baba” traffic but you forget that he’s researched for your mother’s murder since fifteen years…”
Shomi adds:
“- ha! He may stop any kind of pursuits against his traffic because no one had ever had courage to witness against him but since fifteen years… there is a witness who informed police about this affair… witness with proofs…”
Parineetha smirks while Sujatta starts complaining again:
“- all this police drama isn’t for our family… I’m sorry bhai sa… I don’t mean that this murder isn’t important or something like that but yet… how could you let this chore play with our hearts like that?…”
She hits Sanskar’s shoulder again adding:
“- I know you never consider my poor heart! But at least you should think about that poor chore you broke her heart for the past month… she could have died…”
Sanskar looks back… around… frowning suddenly realizing that Swara didn’t come to scold him like he was expecting…
“- Swara…!?”
He whisper was a worried plea; he looks to his baba then Dida who says:
“- she went in kitchen when someone called her on phone…”
Ragini runs to the kitchen, she comes back alone shouting:
“- SWARAAAAA!”
Sanskar had already checked in their bedroom, he descends screaming:
“ – SWARAAA…”
Shekar takes his phone and tries to call her… unavailable…
Parineetha laughs sadistically and says:
“- kya hua?… where is your protected princess?… that precious unique witness?”
***
At badi entry…
Swara parks her car and gets out hurriedly, she runs toward their home shouting:
“- maa… maaa… ma… maa….”
She crushes into her grandmother who looks to her expressionless. Swara looks here and there behind her and asks again:
“- where are they, Dadi ma!!!?? What have you done to ma and choto!?”
A baby’s cry comes from up, she looks around startled and rushed out looking on the terrace:
“- ma!?… Ayush!!”
She run upstairs almost falling in steps and arrives up, the little Ayush was just there on the ground crying, her mother nowhere to be seen. Taking him in her arms to calm him , she shouts again:
“- ma!?”
Dadi arrives there, Swara asks her angrily:
“- where is ma, Dadi? What have you done?…”
Walking toward her making her walks back, the old woman replies smiling:
“- I’m just finishing what I started long time ago..”
In flashback, Swara recalls when long time ago, her Dadi pushed her from this terrace almost killing her, she was thinking that she’s her mother.
***
Maheshwari Mansion…
Parineetha starts laughing madly at their anxious faces, she says:
“- kya hua Sanskar?… you think yourself so smart hai na?… you kept Swara sealed at this fortress and posted armed men all around the castle you offered for your princess’ birthday… but kya hua?… where is she?”
Ragini forces on Parineetha’s hand asking:
“- what do you mean, bhabi?… Swara ka ha hai?”
Parineetha frees her hand pushing her almost making her fall:
“- don’t touch me, Ragini!… ask your second half’s husband, where is his lovely Swara?”
Sanskar grips on Adarsh’s neck strangling him and says while Laksh, Shekar and his father try to free him from his hands:
“- where is she Adarsh? I’ll kill you… I swear to God… if something hhappens to her! I’LL KILL YOU”
The three men hold Sanskar’s shoulders and arms in vain, he just doesn’t stop:
“- SANSKAR! Let go of him… Sanskar he’s suffocating…”
Parineetha shouts:
“- let him Sanskar! You’ll kill him…”
Durga Prasad tries to reason him:
“- Stop it Sanskar… I said…”
“- nahi bade papa! I know he’s behind this… Swara ka ha hai, Adarsh! Bole! I’ll kill you…”
Parineetha yells:
“- he doesn’t know!”
Sanskar mad eyes turn to her freeing his brother who falls on the ground choking… Ram Prasad gives him a glass of water.
She makes a step back afraid, saying:
“- stay away Sanskar… or I’ll never tell you…”
He stops tightening his fists, his face red with rage and his hair covering his forehead, he was panting and blood filling his eyes…
Ragini cries out:
“- talk bhabi! What are you hiding?… Swara ka ha hai?”
“- she’s at badi… your Dadi is back…”
Shekar frowns whispering:
“- ma?”
Shomi exclaims:
“- what does this mad woman wants from my Soru?”
As she keeps quite, Annapurna drags on her elbow ordering her to reply:
“- Parineetha! Talk!”
Parineetha keeps looking toward Adarsh who was trying to find the way to breath normally again:
“- don’t worry Adarsh… nothing will happen to baba… tonight, he’ll erase the last witness forever…”
***
At badi…
Swara looking everywhere to find her mother shivers at the idea of something had happened to her, Dadi walks more further toward her making her back off more… suddenly she frowns, a familiar scary smell fills her nostrils and before she could react she feels bumping in someone behind her, she turns around and says with a trembling voice:
“- Aap?”
The man with the scar was just facing her, a smile on his lips, a hand caressing his marked cheek while the other hand was holding a gun… he smiles wider to her fearful expression and says:
“- how are you mere chote Shona?”
“- b… ba… baba…”
