Aye zindagi...

Back with Bang

Raghav came back Home only to be welcomed by darkness. Raghav silently went to his room. Locked the door. He looked at the mirror and stood there like a dummy for sometime and then punched the mirror hurting himself.

Ra : Ahhhhh!!! Kya kar diya maine.... (He sat holding his head) Maine kyu kiya aisa.... Nahi hai main aisa... (He's crying). Pallavi,dekho... Tumne mujhko kitna mazboor kaar diya... Kitna gira diya... Main khudki parchai seh hate karta hai aab... Blinded by my anger I almost destroyed you... No,no,no... How could I... Main Amma ko face nahi kaar Sakta... (He looked at the broken mirror. Reflection of his hedious act was there) no, I can't... Aaaaaaa... Kya karu main... Nahi hai main aisa... Nahi... (He took a Bootle if alcohol and drank...all drunk in pain,he slept off)

Next morning, Raghav woke up to find Farhad looking at him with tenced look. Raghav looked at Farhad and stood up.

Ra : Kya hua Farhad, Amma?
Fa : Anna, Amma is fine... But...
Ra : But?
Fa : Aap balcony mein chaliye...

Raghav and Farhad went to the balcony. Raghav was shocked and now he understood why Farhad is tenced. Pallavi. Pallavi Deshmukh was standing at his gate like a statue. Looking at her condition,one could easily say she was standing at his gate full night. Raghav looked at Farhad and rushed down. He opened the main gate. Pallavi was looking at particularly no direction. She was void of any emotions. She walked inside the mansion. Raghav and Farhad looked at each other. They follow Pallavi.Sge stood at the hall

Fa : Pallavi ji,aapko kahi jana hai? (He looked at Raghav who's all shocked)
Pa : Raghav's room? (Farhad just pointed at Raghav's room. Raghav was continuously looking at her)

Pallavi went towards Raghav's room. Both boys followed her. Pallavi entered the room and held the door.

Pa : Farhad,mujhe Raghav seh baat karna hai. Sirf Raghav seh...
Ra : Farhad,tu Amma aur Keerthi keh pash ja..
Fa : Ji Anna (he left)
Pa : Door lock karo Raghav.

Raghav looked the door and was shocked turning around. He took few steps back. Pallavi has removed her pallu and was standing in front of him.

Ra : Yeah, kya kar raha hai tum
Pa : Vahi jo tum adhura chor ke aye ho
Ra : (he stumbled) Main...main... Koi excuse nahi dega, I know whatever I...I . did was beyond any apology... But,main janta hai... Dekho...mujhe pata nahi kya ho gaya (Pallavi was blankly Looking. She was just like a soulless body). Tum,yeha, tumhara ghar pe...
Pa : Main saab chorke ayi hu...
Ra : Matlab...

Pallavi didn't say anything,she just went to Raghav's bed and lied on it. Raghav was feeling disguist on himself.

Ra : (walking to her) yeah kya kaar raha hai
Pa : (opening her Saree) tumhara kaam aasan
Ra : Stop, just stop it (holding her hand) I beg of you... Bash karo... Pata hai main galat hai lekin... Tum kya kar raha hai...
Pa : Mai bhi aise boli thi,ruko,girgirai thi... Tumne suna nahi... Raghav, tumne ek bahu,ek beti,ek didi... Meri atma ko maar diya kaal. Aab iss body ka mai kya karu... Apne Ghar vapish jane layak nahi rahi... Toh socha yeah sarir bhi tumhe dedu,ishe bhi end kaar do..
Ra : (Crying) I'm sorry... (He felt on her feets) I'm sorry Pallavi... Maine galti kiya... Maaf kar nahi saakta tum, I know... But ... Kya kaar sakta hai... Jaan dedu?
Pa : De paoge?

Raghav just stood up and Went to his balcony. He stood on the railing and is about to jump when

Pa : Asan saza chahiye tumhe!!
Ra : Kya?
Pa : Andar ao (she went inside)
Ra : (Coming in) Kya?
Pa : Maine kuch nahi kiya thaa... Firh bhi you punished me... But, I will not let you live peacefully... Ek...ek baar bhi nahi suni meri (She is loosing,her voice breaking) Lekin, I'll make sure,your life becomes a living hell. I will not forgive you (she's now crying) never... Kabhi nahi (she sat on the floor)... Galti kya thi meri... Tumne mujhse meri izzat chin li!! Raghav Rao... Aajse har ek pal mai tumhare ankho ke samne rahungi. Mera dukan,ana jana saab tumhari responsibility. Tum loge meri zimedaari. Ek bhi galti aur main Amma ko saab bata dungi saab kuch...(with that she left)
Ra : (Losing all hope) God!!! Main itna galat kaar gaya!! Nahi... I'll do it... Main apna punishment pura karega... Tum Yehi cahata hai na,tumko apna samne dekhke mai tut jaye Pallavi. Toh yeah promise hai mera ... I'll break into pieces.

Pallavi returned home. She didn't say a word to anyone. She just got ready and came out of her home. Not finding Raghav's car yet, Pallavi walked towards a busy road. She's about get hit by a truck, Raghav pulled and saved her.

Ra : Pagal hai kya! Maar jata
Pa : Tumhare chehere pe yehi dar sari life rahegi. Jab jab tum ek minute bhi late rahoge, I'll walk to death.
Ra : Saza mujhe dena hai na... Toh khudko kyu  khatam kar raha hai.
Pa : Main zinda Lash hu...

Raghav gave up the fight. He drove her to the shop and went to his office. Raghav was doing his work when he got a message from Pallavi "5 minute mein dukan. Else,I'll burn myself" Raghav knew, she's very much capable of burning herself to punish him. He literally rushed to the Shop. But,common, whom is he fooling,the distance takes 15-20 minutes minimum. Raghav drove at high speed. Pallavi had given off to krishna because Krishna had to go her Village home for some days. Pallavi lied to her family that she was at Krishna's house. Raghav somehow managed to make it within 10 minutes. He parked his car and rushed to Pallavi's cabin. The scene almost made him loose his sense. Pallavi has set her saree on fire.

Ra : Pallavi...( There's no water in the room. Pallavi is just standing staring at him. Finding no other option he tamed the fire with his hands burning them in the process).
Pa : Tum 5 minutes late ho
Ra : (shaking his hands in pain) Pani,pani...
Pa : Washroom waha hai...(she pointed at the washroom. Raghav rushed. He came back but his hands already had blisters.) Dard ho raha hai na!
Ra : Tum kyu khudho Khatra mei daal raha hai.
Pa : Burnol hai... (Bringing a Burnol and bandage) bandage laga deti hu..
Ra : Are you even listening to me!
Pa : (After bandaging his hands). I'm... Ragha. Tum humesha daar meh rahoge...maut ka daar... Pray karoge to die,but,you won't die. Raghav Rao,jo pain maine feel kiya, vo pain tum haar lamha feel karoge. I promise that.

Raghav just looked at her. She left the room. Suddenly Sulochana came. She saw Pallavi and the. Raghav.

Su : Tum,tum yeha bhi aayage gulchare urane...
Ra : Xcuse me! Who are you Mrs. Bara Bindi?(Sulochana wears big bindis)
Su : Kya bola?
Ra : Kyu behera hai?
Pa : Kya hai Kaku?
Su : Yehi toh main jaana cahati hu...yeah kya behudgi hai...
Pa : Raghav,jawab do...
Ra : Main, main kya bolega... Dekho Bara Bindi,tum galat samajh raha hai... Bolo na Pallavi...( Pallavi just walked away)
Su : Main aaj hi Dada ko bolungi .. (she left)
Ra : Yeah kaun tha.... Pagal insan
Pa : (Getting in) meri kaku hai voh...
Ra : ???
Pa : Baba ke bhai ki biwi...
Ra : Oh... Okay...
Pa : Khare kyu ho...
Ra : Mujhe laga,tum...kuch bolega....
Pa : Get lost... Next time if you're late, you'll see me dead
Ra : Pallavi....
Pa : Don't waste my time. Else, I'll cut myself with the scissor. (she took scissor and placed on her wrist)
Ra : Fine...(he leaves)
Pa : (Closing the door) nahi... Nahi... Jena mujhe (she sat down crying) Kyu kiya aisa Raghav... Kyu.... (Rubbing her tears) I will make you feel death every moment.
