Erica was thinking about smirit's words....from the very beginning she felt something was off between her mother in law and Kabir but today when she called Anay her only son she felt there is something she doesn't know about!!!!
The way everyone is so intimidated by him...she wanted to know about Kabir but whom she can talk to...none tells him anything about him!!!! She decided to know about him .
In the evening when Erica came down stairs she got to know everyone is out of the house for some inauguration, so she went to make a coffee for herself when Sarita tai came and said "bahu give me the cup I will make it"....Sarita Tai is a 57 year old woman who works for the randhawa family for decades.
"No , Tai I will make it myself let me make a cup for you too and don't bother I come form a middle class background, I'm habitual to do house chores " Erica said
"But now you are Kabir Baba's wife you are not an ordinary girl" saying this she took the cup and made the coffee for both of them.
"Tai, from when you are working here" Erica asked
"It's been years since I was 25-26 I m working for them " tai said
Sipping the coffee Erica hesitantly asked "may I ask you something to you tai??"
"What do you want to ask about bahu?? She said
"Why is Kabir so distant, why is everyone so scared of him and today smriti aunty called Anay his only son , is Kabir not her child " Erica asked
"Bahu , you should not get into these things... it's not important all I want to say Kabir baba has a good heart..he is not like everyone perceives him to be...you just give him sometime..he is like coconut - the shell is so hard but inside he is a gem...I know this" she said avoiding the other question
"Pls tai I beg you please tell me about him you know in what situations we got married and to give this marriage a chance I have to know him ..plz else our marriage will fail , tai please...I will not tell anyone about this please" Erica tried to persuade her
After seeing Erica's pleadings tai took a long pause and then said " Kabir baba is not smriti madam's child ..he is Surekha jiji's son... Sahab's first wife....she was a gem. She died when Kabir was just 10 years old . You haven't seen the child Kabir , he was so soft spoken, innocent, caring and loving ..he was such a happy child" Tai got emotional
Further she said " but after her death everything changed sahab got busy with his office and Kabir baba got so alone..he used to cry in my lap because of the nightmares he was mostly awake at night ...sahab was a good father but he was busy so he couldn't coax him all the time ...Kabir became distant with time...he became very quiet ...after 2 years sahab got married the second time Kabir was not happy with a different woman living in his mother's room.
Smriti madam initially tried to get friendly to him but he never responded slowly she also gave up...now they rarely talk ... Kabir's anger increased with time he started breaking things when he used to get angry he instructed everyone to not interfere in anything which is related to him".
"Kabir is a part of this family but he is only connected to his father that too not so much and about Anay , they both never got along .. neither Kabir likes him nor hates him ..he just doesn't care about him!!!" Tai sobbed a little and then said "and with this you found the new Kabir baba whose only interest revolves around the business empire and nothing else! Tai finished speaking
Erica's eyes welled up after listening to all this , she became so emotional...
