Nandini looks at Bulbul and asked "Tum thik ho na?"

"Mumma I am fine.." She assured her.

"Beta.. waha zyada pareshan toh nahi kiya tumhe?" Karan questioned in concern.

"Nahi Papa.. haan agar kuch din rehti toh zaroor karte pareshan.." Bulbul replied.

"Bhagwaan ka lakh lakh sukhar hai tumhe bail mil gayi" Nandini goes to the temple and lights up the Diya.

She turns towards Bulbul and performs the loading of the evil eye (nazar utarna) a strong belief in Hindu culture. Bulbul grabs her hand and says "ye sab karna bekar hai maa.. Jo hona hota hai wo hoke rehta hai"

"Chup.. itna sab ho raha hai tere saath.. Nazar toh utarni hi padegi" Nandini said.

Aarav made a face and mumured "agar nazar utarne se sab thik hota toh koi bhi musibat rehti hi nahi"

Karan slapped his forehead from behind "abhi Maa ki maar khayi hai na.. Chup khada rah" he warned him.

Aarav crosses his hands across his chest, Bulbul said "ho gaya toh main baat karun?"

"Dekh Aarav ki tarafdari karna bhi mat mujhse! Jo ijzat gawahi thi samaaj mein 5 saal pehle tere doctor banne pe wapas paayi thi humne.. Ye toh kah sakte they beta nahi toh beti ne apna farz nibhaya hai.. Lekin aaj sab khatam ho gaya!" Nandini said angrily.

Bulbul had it enough "bas mumma.. Ye sab jo maine khoya hai wapas aa sakta hai lekin 5 saal pehle jo main khoti wo wapas nahi aa paata.. Aur doctor to kya... Shayad college se bhi nikaal di jaati" she revealed.

Aarav comes to her and stops her "Di... kya tum bhi khadoos ki baatein sunne ki maar khane ki aadat hai mujhe! Chalo upar rest karo thoda"

Bulbul turned and stared at him with a firing gaze "enough Aarav.. 5 saal pehle jo hua usme puri tarah se tumhari galti nahi thi......"

"Di.. humne decide kiya tha uske baare mein baat nahi karenge" he said fearly.

She cupped his face and replies "aaj karni hogi Aaru, nahi sun sakti main ki tum ache bete nahi ho ache bhai nahi ho! Aaj tak tumne apne bhai hone ka farz nibhaya hai lekin ye duniya tumhe hi galat samajhti hai."

"Bulbul.. Kya farz nibhaya hai isne bhai hone ka? Haan? Mere mana karne ke bawajud tujhe party mein leke gaya... maar peet ki aur jail gaya! Teri papa ko haath pair jodne pade isko chudane ke liye.. Ye sab" Nandini reminds her.

Bulbul turns towards her and nearly shouts "haan jaanti hun ye sab hua mumma.. Par ek sach hai jo koi nahi jaanta sirf main aur Aarav jante hai! Aaj main doctor bani hun na toh sirf iss ek sach ke chupe rehne ke kaaran bani hun.. Aur aaj agar sab khatam bhi hua hai issi sach ke kaaran" tears brimmed down her eyes.

"aap hi batao maa kyun gaya mera bhai ek baar mein ghar chodke? Mujhse zyda pyaar fikar toh aapne Aaru ki hai na... Kabhi usko akela kahi nhi jaane deti thi aap... Uski itni si bhi kharoch aati thi aap daanti thi use par aansu bhi nikalte they aapki aankh se? Socha aapne kabhi kyun ye chup chap sab sunta hai? Galat hai isliye nahi mumma... Mujhe protect kar raha hai... Apni rakhi ka farz aada kar raha hai" tears brims down her eyes.
