Abhishek Nigam, A perfect combination of pain, guilt, anger and hurt. He has past which is still connected to him.
Vaishnavi Rao, definition of mess and miserable life. She lost all the hopes of love, happiness, living life.
Both have a tregedy....
...
Abhishek, Vaishnavi reached orphanage with Reem. Reem saw warden and tried to jump towards her.
Warden (taking reem in arms): You are here for her adoption formalities?
Abhishek: Yes...
Warden: Vaishnavi told me she is your daughter. So, may I know why you left her in orphanage at first place?
Abhishek (nervous): Umm.... That was personal matter.
Warden: This isn't valid reason. I am not considering. I need to know proper reason and have to take action accordingly.
Abhishek: My parents don't want daughter. They were not ready to accept her.
Warden: Now they are Okay?
Abhishek: No...
Warden: How can I trust you? I mean what if in future again your parents will create problem and you will drop her back in orphanage.
Vaishnavi: Ma'am-
Warden (cuts her): I want him to answer. You are her step mother. Even, if you will take such action. There will not a big deal. Step daughter bol duniya chor degi tumhe. I want to know what her real father can do.
Abhishek: This is not gonna happen again.
Warden: Maybe then you will not treat your daughter they way she should be treated.
Vaishnavi: Ma'am why don't you ask this question to those who comes here for adoption. Someone adopted me from here. Ever you checked on me then how that person was treating me?
Warden: Vaishnavi... Mr. Sinha is a trust worthy person. Necessary precautions were already taken.
Vaishnavi: Oh correct! He was a trust worthy person? Trust worthy to use me as sex worker against my will?
She demanded for answer with confidence but Abhishek was stunned by her words. He blink his eyes for few times. Warden was in shock. She was left with no word. Atmosphere was thick.
Vaishnavi: Maybe you have doubt on Abhishek but you know me. Don't you think I am trust worthy like your Mr. Sinha? Can't you give her to us with some trust on me the way you trusted Mr. Sinha? Actually fact is something else. Let it be. I don't want to drag topic. We are here for her adoption.
Warden: Okay! You need to complete the formalities and pay the amount.
Abhishek nodded. He completed the formalities.
Abhishek: Anything else?
Warden: No... You can take her home now.
Vaishnavi: Thanks...
Abhishek took reem in arms but she was looking at warden sadly. Abhishek, Vaishnavi and Reemi left from there. They settle in car. Whole time reem was sad.
Abhishek (caressing her cheek): Rimi Timi....
He called her with soft voice. She looked at him.
Abhishek: Rimi Timi papa se gussa hain?
She started playing with collar button of his shirt.
Vaishnavi: You have to drive na. Give her to me.
Abhishek nodded. Vaishnavi took Reem on her lap. Reem saw Vaishnavi's nuptial chain. She held it, playing with it. Abhisek drove off. Soon, they reached home.
At entrance, Vaishnavi asked them to stop. Maid came with aarti ki thali. Vaishnavi took it.
Vaishnavi stood in front of Abhishek and Reem. She starts rotating thali. Reem was staring at flame. She raised her hand, trying to touch the flame. Abhishek and Vaishnavi got shock. Abhishek took her hand back and took step back.
Reem giggle. According to her, this is like game. She was wiggling in Abhishek's arms, trying to touch the flame.
Vaishnavi took the plate away from reem. She went in kitchen.
Reem (loudly): Bababababababa.....
Abhishek was staring at her. She looked at him with pout. They went in.
Vaishnavi: Breakfast ready hain.
Abhishek: Reem ke liye boil aaloo ya cereal prepare karna.
Vaishnavi: Aunt have already prepared boil aaloo. We need to go for shopping for her food and necessary things.
Abhishek: I will take leave from office. In evening we can.
Vaishnavi: Hmm... You need to clean your room. I mean throw all the liquor and cigarettes or reemi will stay with me in my room. I mean that room isn't good for her. Suffocated kind off.
Abhishek (nodded): I will clean it. Anyways, need to bring chair and toys from store room. You please take her.
Vaishnavi took her and went in kitchen.
Maid: Here is princess of this house.
She pulled her cheeks.
Reem (irritated): Eeee!!!!
Maid (scrunching her nose): Eee!!!
Reemi giggle. Vaishnavi smiled.
Maid: You know beta when she used to be here. She used to make sir run behind her all the time. Her loud voice, chuckles used to echo in this house. After reem madam's death. She gave him reason to live life. In past few days. I have seen him too broken but trust me. Still he was calm. She need to be with him.
Vaishnavi nodded. Reem started making noises to gain her (Maid's) attention.
