Aye zindagi...

Sudden change

Raghav was driving the car and suddenly took a different direction and stopped on an abandoned road.

Pa : Yeah kya kar rahe ho. Mujhe yeha kyu laye?
Ra : Pallavi..(Pallavi looked at him) I need to clear something.
Pa : Kya?Aur abhi?
Ra : Ha abhi ka abhi. Niklo....
Pa : (Getting out) bolo Ghamandi Rao aab kya hua hai.
Ra : (Standing in front of her) dekho... Main bush apna doubt clear kaar raha hai. I'm not blaming you.
Pa : Bologe?
Ra : Vo jo set aaj tum return karne aya tha... Vo...
Pa : Oh! Hello.. lene nahi debe ayi thi...
Ra : Pata hai,but, that's the same necklace jo chori hua thaa kaal aur employee neh bola tum chori kiya tha. Tumhara naam seh chori hua tha. So, I just want to confirm if this is a mere misunderstanding....
Pa : ( she's silent for sometime.she thought if Raghav comes to know Amruta did this, he'll surely punish her.) Vo Raghav... I'm sorry
Ra : Kya? Sorry? Mane?(Suddenly his phone rang) Hello! Ji .... Kya? Nahi nahi aap dekh sakta hai,aisa kuch nai... someone's pranking you. Yes,bye. ( Raghav closed his eyes to control the anger and opened again.) Pallavi,mai ache seh ask kar raha hai? Did you really steal the necklace ? Tum sorry bol raha hai?
Pa : Raghav, I need to go. Bye.
Ra : Pallavi... Jawab do?
Pa : Mai...main chalti hu...(she's about to go but Raghav held her hand and pinned to the car)
Ra : Pallavi Deshmukh, did you steal to defame me?
Pa : Haaa (Loudly) Ha kiya maine chori. Ha, karna chahti thi Tumhe defame? I was taking revenge
Ra : Pallavi (he's about to slap her but controlled.He punched the car. Pallavi who closed her eyes and opened at the noise of the punch)
Pa : Ha, yehi kaar sakte ho tum... Yah toh kiss karke gussa nikalna yah to firh punch... And, you're about to slap me... Seriously....
Ra : Chup!!!! Bilkul chup.... Tum pagal hai kya? Kaal raat bola tha na mai... No more grudges... Firh kyu kiya? I trusted you damit!
Pa : (Pov - Sorry Raghav for breaking your trust but mujhe Amruta ko bachana hoga). Ha... Toh! Maine bola tha... "Raghav trust me" tumhari galti hai...
Ra : Gari mei baitho...
Pa : Ha?
Ra : Gari mei baitho,tumhe ghar drop karna hai. Raghav Rao jo bolta hai karta hai.. (almost reading her mind he said) don't worry. Khun nahi karega...

They reached Pallavi is about to go out when Raghav spoke. They were silent full way.

Ra : You're right! Galti mera hain... Socha tha tum acha hai... Lekin main bhul gaya, Trust always break hota hai.... Aab galti mujhse hua toh correction mai hi karega...
Pa : Tum kya karna cahate ho... Dekho... Meri family ko kuch bhi...
Ra : Shut up and get out... Niklo...

Pallavi felt insulted and went out. As soon as she came out Raghav drove off almost hitting her. Pallavi took a few steps back in fear.

Pa : I know, maine jhut bola. But, I can affort a fight with him. But not a problem to my family. Raghav seh bachke rehena hoga. Na jane kya kar de... In the mean time, I need to know Amruta ko Kaun fasaya.

Pallavi entered home and saw everyone's in the hall surrounding Amruta and Sulochana.

Mi : Sulochana, itna niche girh gayi tum... Areh apni beti ko toh chor deti!
Am : Mom,apki wajah seh aaj Vahini itni bari problem mei hai...
Su : Tu chup kaar... Pallavi Pallavi.... Har koi uski ki suno... Meri toh koi socho bhi maat haina....
Pa : Kaku,aab aapne kya kiya?
Ma : Pallu,tujhe pata hai, Ayi neh kya kiya!
Sa : Hadh paar ki hai!
Am : Vahini, voh, necklace waha harkat mom ka tha.... She planned all these to trouble you.
Pa : What???
Vi : Ek minute! Pallu, tujhe pata hai? Bataya nahi kyu? Ish aurat ko kyu guard kaar rahi thi?
Pa : Baba,main khud nahi janti thii.... Really...
Su : Aap saab mujhe kyu blame kar rahe ho? Pallavi ke ilawa kuch dikhta nahi kisiko...
Mi : Sulochana (he's about to slap but Pallavi held his hand)
Pa : Nahi Kaka,inka koi bharosa nahi... She'll not think twice before making domestic violence case. Maine saab thik kaar diya. Aur aap Kaku, apni harkato peh lagam kijiye... (Pallavi left and the rest left as well)
Su : Nahi Pallavi,tujhe toh main sabak sikhake rahungi.

Evening... Raghav came back home all mad and angry. Farhad followed him

Fa : Anna,Anna please calm down. I understand galat hua but...
Ra : But kya Farhad (loudly) I trusted her and she broke it like anything. Main bola tha koi aur revenge game nai... Still she did this... Firh bolta hai... Galti mera hain ki main uspe trust kiya.... You know what, galti mera hi hai... Trust kisipe nahi karna chahiye...
Fa : Anna...aap bohot gusse mein ho. Aap Santh ho jaiye firh hum sochenge
Ra : Farhad,mereko thoda der keh liye Akela chor. Main thori der baad ata hai

Farhad came down. Raghav closed the door.
Farhad was going in his room to change when Keerthi called him.

Ke : Farhad, Raghav ko kya hua?
Fa : Kuch nahi Keerthi. Thora workload. (Both left to their rooms)

Raghav changed to tracks and tanks. He's punching the punch bag in anger and remembering what Pallavi said "Maine bola tha : Raghav trust me" "Ha.. Maine kiya yeah saab." "I wanted to defame you". He's continuously punching with force. After a while he stopped.

Ra : ( looking down and panting) Pallavi Deshmukh, tumne mera saath bohot galat kiya. Paani me rehkar magarmach seh Dushmani acha nahi hota.... (He looked up. One could see hatred and darkness in his eyes). Aab main tumhein samjhayega Raghav Rao seh Dushmani acha nahi... (A smirk played on his lips.)
