A knock was heard on a stormy night and Pallavi got a little scared and alert, she slowly went towards the door with a kitchen knife in her hand and opened the door slowly only to see a totally drenched Farhad holding Raghav who was drowned in blood and rain, he passed out on Farhad and was going to collapse when Pallavi held him and made him lie on the bed.
Farhad immediately arranged for medical help and they all started dressing Raghav's wounds.
P: Farhad ye sab kya hai?
F: Bhabhi, bohot bada problem hone waala hai aur sirf aap anna ko bacha sakte hai
P: matlab?
F: bhabhi anna ka ye halat Vedant ne kiya hai
P: wo jail me tha na?
F: nahi bhabhi wo jail se nikal gaya aur ek aur baat ye hai ki usne anna ke drink ko spike karke gundon se pitwaya taaki anna khud ko defend na kar sake.
P: par ab usse kya chahiye?
F: badla lena chahta hai bhabhi, aur vedant sahi insaan nahi hai. Wo har cheez cheat karke haasil karta tha college se leke ab tak. Wo dope drugs leke khelne jaata tha state level championship me, anna ne uska pardafaash kiya, tabse ye anna ke peeche pada hai
P: usse pata nahi chalega kya ki Raghav yaha hai?
F: nahi bhabhi, kyuki usse lagta hai ki aap abhi kolhapur me hai, maine apne aadmi ko uske peeche laga diya hai taaki uska har move track kar saku
P: lekin usse pata chala toh? Ki main hyderabad me hu?
F: nahi chalega bhabhi, kyuki aap kolhapur se jab aayi thi, aapne apne naam pe ticket nahi kiya hoga na
P: nahi dada ne apne naam pe kiya
F: isiliye usse lag raha hai ki aap kolhapur me hai
P: par aise kab tak Farhad?
F: bhabhi, pehli baat toh ye hai ki isse zyada safe place Anna ke liye kahi nahi hai, wo anna ke saare properties ko track karta hoga aur har farmhouse aur flat search karega jo anna ke naam pe hai, aur bhabhi ek aur problem hai. Mere aadmi ne mujhe bataya ki wo Krishna Rao ke saath haath milana chahta hai.
P: ye krishna Rao kon hai?
F: bhabhi, Krishna Rao ke dhokhe ke wajah se anna ne apne papa ko kho diya hai bhabhi, isiliye amma aur keerti 10 saal se anna se naaraz hai aur jab se aapne ghar choda hai, amma aur keerti wapas chale gaye. Aur anna aapko rokne aaye bhi they bhabhi but aapka train choot gaya tha tab tak.
Pallavi is not able to take too much information, Farhad explains everything to Pallavi in detail as in how and why he lost his father 10 years ago and why he is behind his mother for forgiveness.
F: bhabhi, aapko ek aur baat bataani hai, anna ko apni galti ki ehsaas hui hai, haa, mujhe pata hai ki itna aasaan nahi hai unko maaf karna, aur aapke saath unhone jo kuch bhi kiya, aise insaan ka ya unki galtiyon ka koi maafi nahi hoti hai. Lekin unhone jo bhi aapke saath kiya galat fehmiyon ke base pe kiya. Wo aur bhi galat baat hai, yeh mujhe bhi pata hai. Main ye bolne nahi aaya ki anna ko aap maaf kardo. Main ye bolne aaya ki aap dono ke beech jo bhi rishta hai, aap safe hai. Anna ke wajah se aapko koi pareshani nahi hogi. Main Rama ko bulaunga jo subah se raat tak anna ke caretaking ke liye. Aap please yeh ehsaan kardo mujhpe.
Pallavi's head was spinning due to so much information and so much happening around.
Doc: Mr Farhad, sir well built rehne ke wajah se fractures nahi hue but kuch ghaav bohot hi zayada gehre pade hai aur kuch hafte lagenge heal hone me. Aur ye jo unke back pe chot hai wo kisi sharp lohe ke cheez chubi hai aur luckily spinal cord ko kuch nahi hua, but ye ghaav deep hai aur time lagega heal hone me.
F: ji doctor.
D: main apne intern ko dressing ke liye roz bhej dunga aur wo roz saare wounds ka dressing karega.
F: ji doctor.
The doctor leaves and Farhad leaves, assuring Pallavi that he'll be back by the break of dawn.
Pallavi lies down on the cane sofa in the hall as everything that happened in the last 1 hour starts spinning in front of her. She remembers the first time she met Raghav, in the middle of the road as he burned her stock down and again, after she decided to leave him and gathered herself to start a new life again away from all this nonsense becoming the old resilient self again, he is back in her life. Why? Why can't he leave her? She mentally decided that once he recovers, she'll sign the divorce papers, it won't be easy for her, it's already not easy for her striving with the bad luck she has becoming a widow once and a forced marriage the second time.
—------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
He slowly opened his eyes trying to adjust to the light of the room, as he craned his neck to the side, he could see Farhad waiting patiently for him to wake up.
He could feel every inch of his body pulsing in pain,
R: Aaaaagggghhhhhh
F: Anna, aaraam se
R: me kaha hu Farhad, ye kiska ghar hai?
F: bhabhi ka?
R: kya?
F: ji anna, bhabhi ab yahi rehti hai.
He looked around only to see no or minimal furniture, her sarees were in the shelf which doesn't even have doors and the house also seemed 10 years old.
R: yaha rehti hai?
F: ji anna
R: kaha hai? Abhi hai ghar pe?
She enters the room with two plates full of kanda poha, his eyes tear up immediately as he swallows the lump in his throat, scared that a sob will escape his throat.
R: Pallavi...
Her name rolled out his tongue, it was not those hateful and disgusting gaze nor his voice that had venom laced to it. It came out so pure, out of unending yearning, Pallavi was on the verge of losing into his eyes but composed herself. She gives the plates to Farhad
F: bhabhi
P: ab kya chahiye?
F: sorry bhabhi... par maine suna hai ki aap kisi aur boutique me kaam kar rahi hai
A slight crack split in his heart as he heard what Farhad said,
P: haa, kar rahi hu (very cold and serious tone)
F: aur aap weekends pe catering bhi kar rahi hai
P: haa kar rahi hu
F: par bhabhi, aap akeli kar rahi hai khaana banana? Itne saare logon ke liye?
P: haa
F: bhabhi aap chahe toh staff ko bulau?
P: mere life ke decisions bhi tum loge farhad ab?
F: nahi bhabhi, main bas
P: tum apne anna ka dhyaan rakho, main jaisi bhi hu, bohot chain se jee rahi hu
F: sorry bhabhi
Raghav was in tears, those were all directed towards him, indirectly telling them to not interfere in her life. She's right, in all ways he broke her and she is still coping up with the trauma he put her through. Can this pain ever fade? He scarred a beautiful soul for a lifetime.
Ra: sir?
F: Rama? Aao aao, tumhare liye wait kar raha tha
Pallavi was leaving when
F: bhabhi!
Pallavi turned around with fire blazing in her eyes
F: Sorry bhabhi, wo hum apna samaan khud layenge, aapki kitchen ki zarurat padegi. Kyuki mansion se khana aayega toh ved ye location bhi trace kar lega.
She went out silently.
The pain his heart was going through is 1000 times more than the wounds he is having on all over his body. He felt he could have died in peace than living like this.
