Sameera is sat down on her bed glancing at the pouring rain throw window of her room. She had made her eyes puffy and red by continually crying from past few hours.

It has been 2-3 hours that no one entered in her room after that incident. Which made her scared to death. Usually Jigyaasa used to slap her whenever she does something offensive or goes against to her will. However this time, her silence and not giving a damn reaction to that incident somehow haunts Sameera.

Sameera: Why God? Why? Hmesha mere sath hi itna bura kyu hota hai? Papa kehte the bhagwaan hard time unhi ko dete hai jo strong ho pr ab mujse Or yeh sab bardaasht nhi kiya jata.

She took the photo frame from the side table that has portrait of her parents. Sameera traced her fore fingers on its and tear sliding down to her cheeks fell down on it.

Sameera: Why? Kyu aap dono mujhe akela yaha chodd ke chle gye? Mumma ka pyar to shayad meri kismat mein hi nhi tha... But papa aap.. Aap kyu gye? I miss you papa. Is ghar mein meri itni bezti hoti hai aur aaj to kaaki mujhe.. Mujhe bechne wali thi.


Scene shifted to a porch:

Jigyaasa wearing a black color saree is sat down on a wooden chair while sipping on her tea. It seems like the incident which took place a while ago didn't bother her at all.

Because whenever Sameera did or do something, the beast in Jigyaasa wake up and always ready to either physically beat or verbally abuse her. However this time she's just chilling that somewhere scare or make others suspicious too.

There was a pin drop silence in the area when Mukesh aka right hand of her husband broke it down.

Mukesh: Maalkin aapka is trah se chup baithna aur kuch na krna.. Mujhe kuch thik nhi lag rha.

Jigyaasa: Kis baat ke liye?

Mukesh: Abhi jo Sameera ne Vinay Chaudhari ko tamaacha mara uske liye.

Jigyaasa put her cup of tea on the wooden table and showed her dirty playful smirk to him.

Jigyaasa: Kisne kaha mai kuch kar nhi rahi?

Mukesh: Mai kuch samjha nhi.

Jigyaasa: Us Sameera ne Vinay.. Vinay Chaudhari ko thappad maarke na sirf Chaudhari khandaan ki bezti ki hai balki hmare unke sath sambandho ko bhi khtm krdiya hai. Us do take ki ladki ko pta ke ab hmare kaarobaar ko kitni killat jhelni pad sakti hai.

A male almost 7-9 years older than Jigyaasa flat down the newspaper on tea table. He removed his glasses before speaking.

Male: Par tumhe kaha bhi kisne tha Jigyaasa ke Sameera ko jabardasti is rishte ke liye raazi kro?

Jigyaasa: Aap to rehne hi dijiye. Agar yeh kaam aapke bharose chodd diya to na jaane kab tak vo manhoos humare ghar, humare hi tukdo pe palti rahegi.

Male: Par vo aakhirkaar humari hi zimmedaari hai Jigyaasa. Humne bhaisahab ko waada diya tha ke hamesha uska khyaal rakhenge. Agar logo ko pta chalega ke humne zabardasti Sameera ki shadi tay kri hai to kya ijjat reh jayegi humari Jayraaj thakur aur humare khaandaan ki?

Jigyaasa: To iska mtlb hai aap bhul rahe hai ke jisse aapko itni humdardi ho rahi hai vahi aapke bhai sahab ki maut ki wajah hai. Paida hote hi apni maa ko khaa gyi or phir bhai sahab ko.

Jayraaj: Kuch nhi bhula hu mai aur na kabhi bhul paunga.

Mukesh: Par maalkin ab aap karegi kya?

Jayraaj glanced at her face which shows nothing but evilness dripping from ever inches of her face.

Jigyaasa: Tumhe yaad hai Mukesh kuch dino baad humare gaaon mein Khanna parivaar se unka eklota beta aane wala hai to bass.
