Continues.....
Lakshmi was sitting on the bed regretting on her decision of marrying in the Mandir.
Scene shifts to the kitchen,
Rishi was preparing food for Lakshmi when the door bell rang.
Rishi went and opened the door only to find Neelam there.Rishi: Arrey aunty.....aap yaha?
Neelam: Vo....yeh tumhara ghar hain?
Rishi: Haan....Manoj uncle ne khareed kar diya tha.
Neelam: Oo......mujhe yaha kaam milega kya?
Rishi: Aunty.....
Neelam: Dekho naa mat kehna. Mujhe kaam se nikaal diya gaya........aur agar ek bhi ghar ka kaam kam hota hain toh ghar nahi chalta hain.......
Rishi: Aunty aap aise mat boliye please.....aur aap paise ekattha kiske liye kar rahi hain?
Neelam: Humare baaju waale ghar mein na ek ladka hain....uska illaj chal raha hain. Poori basti ke log uski maddat kar raha hain toh maine socha ki kyun na main bhi kar doon.
Rishi: Arrey wahh....yeh toh bohot acchi baat hain. Aap yaha rahiye.....aapko kaam karne ki zaroorat nahi hain....aapko harr mahine ke aakhir mein mil jaaega paisa.
Neelam: Nahi nahi...bina kaam kiye paise nahi le sakti....kaam karna hain......
Rishi: Theek hain toh main jab job dhoond ne jaaunga na tab aap Lakshmi ka dhyaan rakhengi please? Actually uska paer toot gaya hain.
Neelam: Haye!Kaise?
Rishi: Vo mandir ki seedhiyon se neeche gir gayi thi aur........
Neelam: Theek hain beta....main uska dhyaan rakhungi.
Rishi smiled.
Rishi: Accha waise aap kya khaengi? Main Lakshmi ke liye aur mere liye khana bana raha tha......
Neelam: Main bana deti hoon.....
Rishi: Nahi nahi....maine Lakshmi se kaha hain ki main uske liye khana banaunga toh main hi banaunga😊
Neelam smiled seeing Rishi's love for Lakshmi.Rishi quickly prepared food for trio and served it. He feed it with his own hands but Lakshmi hated the food as it was not made by professional chef and bursted on Rishi.
This continued for months.......Rishi took full care of Lakshmi without expecting anything in return but Lakshmi always insulted him. Neelam felt extremely bad seeing this. Only Neelam saw that Rishi used to cry after getting hurt for several days but he never said anything to Lakshmi.
Finally......one day when Rishi was in a hurry to leave for his office....Lakshmi made him sign the papers without allowing him to read the papers and Rishi signed as well because just a day before that Lakshmi arranged a dinner date and said that she loves Rishi.
Then the next day after signing the papers...Rishi left and Lakshmi left by making an excuse infront of Neelam and then left Rishi forever.
That was the worst night in Rishi's life. He completely broke down but he didn't shed even a single tear. He thought it to be his fate first but then realized that Lakshmi wrote it as his fate and since that day he started hating Lakshmi to the core.
But does he really hate Lakshmi?
Flashback ends.In the kitchen,
An awkward silence paved it's way as Lakshmi completed narrating everything.Rishab: Lakshmi jii.....kya aap Rishi se...I mean...kya aap usse pyaar karti hain?
Lakshmi(with a smile)(teary eyed): Pyaar toh mujhe usse bohot pehle hi ho chuka tha bas realization itni der se hua ki tab tak....sab khatam kar chuki thi main. Waise....main bohot khush hoon.....ki Malishka Rishi se pyaar karti hain. Koi toh hogi Rishi ki life mein jo use kabhi dhokha nahi degi aur saccha pyaar karegi.
Rishab didn't said anything and left.The whole night Rishab thought about Lakshmi and Rishi's broken relationship.
Rishab's conscience told him one thing......which made him realize that Rishi and Lakshmi were made for each other but the worldly desires created rift in between them.
Rishab(in mind): Lakshmi aur Rishi ka rishta toota hain Lakshmi ki wajah se.....par Lakshmi ko apni galati ka ehsaas hain.....infact she loves him. Aur jo insaan kisi se nafrat kar sakta hain.....usi insaan se shiddat se pyaar bhi kar sakta hain. Aur waise bhi.....inn dono ka rishta toh janmo janmo ka hain.....toh inhe toh milna hi chahiye at the end. Aur yeh kaam karne ki zimmedari ab meri. Par usse pehle...........
Next Morning,
Rishab narrated everything to Malishka.
Malishka: Main samajh gayi.......par tell me one thing.....tum Lakshmi aur Rishi ko milaoge kaise?
Rishab: I have some plans.....dekhte hain work karta hain ya fir nahi.
Malishka: I am in....main bhi tumhara saath doongi. Bhale hi mujhe mera pyaar nahi milega lekin....Rishi toh khush rahega.
Rishab smiled hearing this.Scene End.
Precap: Last Part.
