#Episode2

Gulki: achaa (asked with a questioning look)

Mummy: bilkul, acha ab mujhe nahi pata achanak kya kaam aa gaya unhe Jo tujhe aise bula liya, par acha hi hai na, isi bahane hume time mil gaya...

Gulki: haa, ye bhi sahi hai (said Gulki, still being in thoughts of why her father called her suddenly like this, he said it was very important)

Mannat's Pov:

Aaj subah se sab unusual sa ho Raha hai, I mean, mai Aaj jaa rhi hu, to my so called new family... Mai yaha 8 years se hu, is orphanage mei... In 8 years mei almost har 6 months mei kisi na kisi family ne merko adopt karne ka Faisla liya... Par fir us faisle ko unhone khud hi khariz Kiya..Mai takriban 15 gharo mei Jaa ke vapas aa bhi chuki hu... kyuki kya hai na, unke  according mai bohot badtameez hu, mere bohot drame hai, mai sabse alag hu, ek alag bachhi hu, aur mai unki reputed family ka naam kharab kr dungi na.. honestly speaking, I agree, mai bohot dimaag kharab karti hu, and I am almost sure ki ye family bhi mujhe vapas bhej degi... Almost hai, pakka nahi malum, kyuki ye log ajeeb hai, I mean, ye Mumbai mei rehte hai... Vaha bhi toh kitne orphanage honge, vaha se bhi toh adopt kr sakte the..aur pura desh chodh ke, unko Kolkata ke ek orphanage se, mai hi mili... Strange, very strange...

Gulki's Pov:

Mai soch hi rahi thi about Papa's weird behaviour when my and mummy's chain of words and random chit chat was broken when papa entered with a black file and took a seat opposite to me.

(They sat on the sofa:

                 Papa
         
Mummy Gulki

Beech mei centre table hai bhai)

Gulki: kya important kaam tha aapka papa? Mummy toh keh rhi hai ki there's nothing as such

Papa: there is (in a serious tone)

I and Mummy sensed and understood the seriousness of the situation and changed our perspectives and were now attentively listening to Papa.

Gulki: kya baat hai?

Papa: we found her

He what, how is this possible, matlab... It's been 8 years and now... No no, I can't see her that way... D.. dead, thought Gulks being scared in her mind

Mummy: whattt?

Gulki: you mean... Her... Her b... Body

At this, Papa nodded his head in disagreement, why the hell was he creating suspense, humari jaan atki hai idhar

Mummy: ye aap kya keh rahe hai? Koi mazak ka topic nahi hai ye

Papa: ofc nahi hai, mai koi mazak kar bhi nahi Raha hu, she's my DAUGHTER afterall

Gulki: for God's sake please clearly bataiye, she's MY SISTER as well, kya bol rhe hai aap?

Papa: firstly cool down both of you

Papa really thinks we can cool down now? At this moment, nevertheless, I take a deep breathe but mumma is still adamant so papa begins to narrate

Papa: shuru se shuru karte hai

I and Mummy nodded at this allowing him to continue

Papa: 8 saal pehle jab Mannat kho gayi thi and humne uski missing report file ki thi, fir khabar aayi thi ki ek accident mei we lost her, right?

I and Mummy nodded again in response and he continued

Papa: fir hum jab body dekhne gaye the toh

Gulki (interrupted): aap hume nahi leke Gaye the kyuki hum chhote the, sirf aap aur mummy gye the

I remembered this very well, I was 17 years old, still they didn't take me so that I don't get traumatized, I understand them, but vo merko nahi leke gye na ultimately. To this, Papa nodded

Papa: right, toh hume kaha Gaya tha ki face pura damage hai, isliye humne face nahi dekhaa tha, Mannat ke paas jaisa bracelet hota tha, postmortem ke baad sirf ek vo bracelet hi tha jisse prove ho Raha tha ki she's Mannat, there was nothing else. So we...

Gulki: bolo papa, you what?

Papa: tab tum bhi zidd kar rhi thi na, ki since we didn't see the girl's face, we shouldn't conclude that it's Mannat, toh considering your zidd and our conclusions, me and your mother, hum dono ne firse missing complaint file ki thi... Kyuki we knew that the body found wasn't Mannat's and now, after 8 long years of search, we have found her, our daughter, your sister, Mannat Joshi

I was dumbstruck at this confession of papa. How could they do this to me? Maine personally kabhi beleive nahi Kiya tha that Mannat is no more... I always believed she's there somewhere but where, pata nahi... But inhone merse chupaya sab kuch, I looked at mummy, she was crying while hugging papa out of happiness

Gulki: aapne ye baat hume kyu nahi batai Aaj Tak? (Said Gulki with a cracked voice, she could visibly burst out crying any time soon)

Papa: tum already itni mushkil se apni life mei aage badh rhi thi, this was just a hit and trial thing, we never knew ki Mannat milegi ki nahi... Tumko batane se you would have put your life on hold, tum aage hi nahi badhti... Now atleast you are growing in your life, your career, everything because of Mannat only...

I huffed in response, I didn't know what to say, I was speechless, confused, I had mixed emotions going inside, on one side I was angry with everyone for hiding about the FIR, then I was happiest knowing that Mannat, Mahi, my bachaa was still alive, she's there, and soon she'll be here with us too... Wait? Will she? What will she think about us? About me? About her didi...

My thoughts were broken when the door bell rang, mummy opened the door and there stood a lawyer, I looked at papa in a questioning manner

Papa: meet him, he is Mr. Kapoor, our lawyer, he will help us to get the legal things sorted in regard with Mannat, her custody, legal guardianship and everything

I and Mummy nodded in response and Mr Kapoor took a seat on the sofa

Aajke liye bas itna hi...

Kya lagta hai? Kya hoga aage?

Sochte rahiye...
