Five months later…

KS was walking around MPT, dressed in a pretty, pink-colored anarkali, holding her baby bump while PS was following her… “KM baat suniye humari…” PS said… “Humko nahi khana hai aapka laddu… Kitna kadva hai…” KS whined… HM came out to see what was happening… “Ek min… ek min… Shant ho jaiye dono aur hume aaram se bataiye kya hua??” HM asked… “Dekhiye na MS… Hum kab se koshish kar rahe hai inhe laddu khilane ki lekin ye humari baat maan hi nahi rahi hai…” PS complained… “Humko nahi khana hai MS inka methi wala laddu… Bohot kadva hai… Khud to golgappe ki teen teen plate tika ke aayi hai aur hume ye khila rahi hai…” KS said pointing at the laddu in PS’s hand… “KS… Yeh aapke aur Baby ke sehat ke liye ho raha hai na?? Kha lijiye please…” HM tried to convince KS… “Nahi na MS…” KS making a sad pout… Her mood swings were at an all-time high… “Acha thoda sa khaiye… Please… Hum khilate hai rukiye…” HM said and took a piece from the laddu and forwarded it to KS… KS looked at HM who gave her the best pleading eyes… KS relented and took the bite… “Waise aaj aap thane mei kyu hai?? Aapki toh leave shuru ho gayi hai na??” HM asked… “Hum hi inhe saath le aaye… Akele ghar pe kaise chod sakte the…” PS said… “Baat toh aapne sahi kahi Pushpa ji… Lekin aise thane aati rahi yeh toh aaram kaise kar payengi??” HM said worried about KS’s health… “Lekin MS kare bhi toh kya??” PS asked… “Ek kaam kyu nahi karti aap KS… DSP sir ke ghar chali jaiye delivery tak… Maa… Humara matlab aunty ji hongi pura din aapka khayal  rakhne ke liye…” HM suggested… “Kya idea diya hai MS… Hume pehle kyu nahi sujha… Sahi hai… Karishma aap aaj hi chali jaiye DSP sir ke ghar… Aaj kya abhi jaiye… Hum shamko lalla ke haaton aapka saman bhijwa dete hai…” PS said… “Lekin…” KS tried to say something but HM her… “Koi lekin nahi… Chaliye hum aapko chod aate hai…” HM said and guided KS towards her jeep…

HM dropped KS at AS’s house and returned… She met with chaos as she entered inside… “Yeh sab ho kya raha hai??” she screamed to grab everyone’s attention… “Dekhiye na MS inhe… Khud ki jaan dene ki koshish kar rahi hai kab se…” PS said tensed… A woman was standing on the table… She was holding one end of the dupatta which was turned into a loop, while the other end was tied to the ceiling fan… “Lekin yeh jaan de hi kyu rahi hai??” HM asked horrified… “De rahe hai hum jaan… Kahe jiye hum bataiye jab humko pata hai humko kabhi insaaf hi nahi milega…” the woman said crying… “Dekhiye… Aap pehle niche aaiye… Hum madat karenge aapki… Aapko Insaaf dilayenge…” HM said trying to calm the woman down… “Sab aise hi bolte hai… lekin fir palat jaate hai… Lairs hai sabke sab…” the woman said in her broken english… “Lekin hum aapse wada karte hai… Hum nahi paltenge… Please niche aa jaiye…” HM said… “Pakka na??” the woman asked again… “Ji… Pakka…” HM replied… “Thik hai… toh fir hum niche aa rahe hai…” the woman said, and PS helped her get down…

The woman as seated opposite PS on her desk while HM stood by the side of the table with CC and SS on her either side… After the woman chugged down the glass of water, “Ab thik hai aap??” HM asked… “Ji…” the woman replied wiping her face with the loose end of her saree… “Good… Toh bataiye… Naam kya hai aapka??” HM asked… “Humara name hai Kumari Rosie Rani (KR)… Hum Chandanpur gaav ke rehnewale hai… Pichle hafte hi hamari marriage hui hai…” KR said blushing… HM rolled her eyes… “Toh aap Lucknow mei kya kar rahi hai?? Aur woh bhi akele??” HM asked… “Wahi toh humari problem hai… Pichle hafte humse shaadi karne ke baad humare patidev hume gaav mei chodkar Lucknow aa gaye… 3 din se unka phone bhi nahi lag raha hai… Pata nahi kaha hai… Ab toh humare eyes se water beh jayega, bata rahe hai…” KR said in a crying tone… “Acha… acha… aap roiye nahi… Yeh bataiye ke 3 din pehle aapki unse jab phone pe baat hui toh kuch bataya unhone??” HM asked… “3 din pehle humne unko phone nahi kiya tha…” KR replied… “Abhi aapne toh kaha na ke 3 din se unka phone nahi lag raha hai…” HM asked irritated… “Haan toh uske pehle woh humare saath hi the na gaav mei… 3 din pehle hi aaye hai woh Lucknow…” KR said sadly… HM rolled her eyes… “Ok… Ab aap shuru se bataiye kya hua?? Woh aapko kaha mile?? Kaise hui aapki shaadi?? Unke ghar parivaar mei kon kon hai??” HM investigated… “Batate hai… 10 din pehle woh humare gaav aaye the… Akele hi aaye the… Kuch kaam se…” KR said… “Kaisa kaam??” HM asked… “Woh sab hum ko nahi pata…” “Aapne pucha nahi??” “Ab patidev kya kaam karte hai yeh patni thodi na pucha karti hai…” KR replied blushing… HM shook her head in annoyance while PS hit her forehead… “Acha thik hai… aage bataiye…” HM said… “Humare ghar ke bagal mei jo khali ghar hai waha ruke the… Toh humne unse kaha ke humare ghar aaya kijiye khane pe… Pehle toh mana kiya unhone lekin fir humne pyaar se manaya toh maan gaye…” KR continued lost in her thoughts… “Fir ek din bole humko pasand karte hai… Aur marriage karna hai… Hum ko toh pehle hi din pasand aa gaye the… Humne haan keh diya… Baapu bhi maan gaye… Fir…” KR narrated… “Fir kya??” CC asked… “Fir dusre din Baapu ne humari marriage kara di… 2 din baad humare patidev bole ke unko jaana hai Lucknow… Aur bole ke humko lene wapas aayenge… Lekin na unka phone lag raha hai na koi pata chal raha hai kaha hai…” KR said and wailed…

PS closed her ears while HM moved back in shock… “SS pani dijiye unhe…” HM said coming out of the shock… “Dekhiye Kumari… a…” HM tried to remember her name… “Kumari Rosie Rani…” KR completed for her sobbing… “Haan… wahi… Aap please shant ho jaiye…” HM tried to console her… “Kaisa aadmi hai… Narbhakshak kahi ka… MS… Humko toh yeh fraud ka case lag raha hai… Yeh madam ke saath shaadi kar unko dhokha deke bhaag gaya… Humko milega toh chodenge nahi usko…” CC said angrily… “Shaant CC…” HM tried to calm him… “Baat toh sahi keh raha hai Cheetah… Aur tum KRR… Tumne aise kaise kisise bhi shaadi kar li?? Bina uske baare mei kuch jaane??” PS said causing KR to cry more… “Pushpaji…” HM reprimanded… “KRR… Aapko kuch bhi pata hai aapke patidev ke baare mei?? Unke ghar mei kon kon hai?? Kaha rehte hai?? Matlab koi ilake ke naam suna hai aapne unse??” HM asked… “Hum bas itna jaante hai ke unki ek amma hai aur ek shaadishuda chacheri behen… Aur toh kuch nahi jaante hum…” KR said wiping her tears… “Acha… Shaadi hui toh koi photo ya koi video… kuch toh hoga aapke paas??” HM asked again… “Haan hai na…” “Toh dijiye…” “Ek min…” KR said and started rummaging through her bag… She pulled out a mobile phone, scanned through the Apps and, “Yeh dekhiye… Humari marriage ka video…” she said handing the phone to HM…

HM, CC, and SS turned into a statue after watching the video… PS could no longer contain her curiosity… She got up from her chair and peeped inside the phone… Her eyes bulged out… “Yeh toh…” PS tried to speak but her words died down… “DSP Sir hai…” SS said in a trance while all four kept looking at the video traumatized…
