In Shukla house...
"Bacche itni der se aaya office se..tu thik toh hai na?"asked Rita ji being concerned.. caressing Sidharth 's face lovingly..
"Ha maa main thik hoon..aur jaise main ekdum accha hu..aap bhi jaldi hi Khushi se uchlengi..."said Sidharth happily..
"Aisi kya baat hai bacche..Zara maa ko bhi bata"asked Rita ji curiously...
Sidharth smiled and stood aside..Rita ji looked at the door..only to get biggest happiness of her life..there her daughter..her bahu..her another lifeline was coming inside.. walking towards her slowly.. looking at her with tears in her eyes and a blissful smile on her face...
"Maa.."whispered Shehnaaz coming towards Rita ji...
While Rita ji broke into painful sobs.. looking at her daughter after the long wait of 7 years..
She without saying anything.. hugged Shehnaaz close to herself...and continued sobbing.. caressing her hair.. kissing her forehead.. holding her tightly..as if she would vanish..if she leaves her....
After breaking the hug..Rita ji kissed Shehnaaz 's whole face crying..while asking.."Kaha thi meri beti..kaha chali gayi thi..apne maa ko chodkar?Ekbar bhi is buddhi maa ki yaad nahi aayi bacche?Tere bina..yeh Ghar aisa ban gaya tha..jaise ki yaha koi jaan hi nahi hai..main..Tera Siddharth..tere Bhai ..teri didi...sabhi bejaan hogaye the beta ..bejaan hogaye the..."saying so she sobbed slowly looking down .while Shehnaaz too cried looking at her maa 's state...
Sidharth wipping off his tears came forward and told the whole story..while Rita ji shivered listening about Sukriti and Sana's case...
She immediately.. looked wholly at Shehnaaz... confirming if she is ok or not...
Shehnaaz smiled and hold Rita ji from shoulder saying..."Maa main thik hoon...aaj agar aapke saamne ekdum mast khari hoon toh sirf..mere aur ek parivaar ke wajah se...jinhone mujhe maa baba ka pyaar diya..har khushi di..jo woh de sakte the...mujhe apne beti jaisa pyaar aur samman diya..ab meri ek maa nahi ..mere do maa aur ek baba bhi hai ..."
Listening her words... Rita ji smiled and said.."Mujhe bahut khushi hogi..agar main unse mil pau.."
"Zaroor maa..main aapko unse milaungi..par usse pehle hume unhe diya hua waada pura karna hoga...Sukriti ko nyay dila kar..."said Shehnaaz with strong determination on her face...
Both Rita ji and Sidharth smiled being proud on her thought process...on her determination....
Rita ji kept her hand on Shehnaaz 's head saying.."Mera saath aur aashirwad dono tere saath hai..tu zaroor us masoom si bacchi ko nyay dila paayegi...mujhe meri uparwale par pura bharosa hai..."
Shehnaaz smiled and hugged her tightly...while Sidharth showing his fake anger said..."Beti ko milkar..bete ko hi bhul gayi maa..mujhse toh koi pyaar hi nahi karta ..."
Both Rita ji and Shehnaaz laughed looking at their Ghar ki satayi hui bahu....
"Maa apne baccho ko kabhi nahi bhulti..tu bhi aaja nalayak..."saying so Rita ji extended her other hand...while Sidharth immediately goes towards her..and the trio shared an emotional hug..after their long time painful separation...
After breaking the hug ...Rita ji looked at Shehnaaz with a serene smile on her face saying..."Aaj mere ghar mein itne saalon baad Lakshmi lauti hai..toh aarti kare bina..uska grahan pravesh main nahi kar sakti.. isliye tujhe bahar Jana hoga beta..."
"Maa iski kya zarurat hai..main laut aayi hoon na ..wahi kafi hai..aap itna sab mat karo.."said Shehnaaz to which Rita ji said.."Maa ka kehna manna chayiye..tu aur Sidharth bahar khare ho ...main tum dono ka aarti ke saath griha pravesh karungi..."saying so she hurriedly goes inside their house 's small puja mandir to do some preparations...while Shehnaaz looked at Sidharth..who was already looking at her with love filled eyes...
Seeing his intense gaze..she while blushing.. looked down..
Sidharth smiled looking at his wife's blushing face..and made her look towards him.. holding her chin lovingly saying..."Ab mujhse kya sharmana jaan..Tera hi hoon main..."saying so he forwards his hand..while she smiled and holds his hand lovingly...
Holding eachother's hand..they go outside....
While Rita ji brought Kalash filled with rice , aalta ki thali, a white cloth and aarti ki thali...just like the ritual done while welcoming a newly wedded bride to her in-laws house..
Rita ji lovingly did aarti of both Shehnaaz and Sidharth..
After doing the aarti..she asked Shehnaaz to kick the kalash and enter their house with her divine feets..again feeling life to the already lifeless house...
"Lachmi ji vaaro..naazar utaaro..
Aaj mere Piya Ghar aavenge..
Aaj mere Piya Ghar aavenge.."
Kicking the kalash slowly.. Shehnaaz dipped her legs into the aalta filled legs...and slowly started coming inside the house..while her red footsteps were imprinted to the floor.. showcasing arrival of Lakshmi in the house...
Shehnaaz looked around the house while coming inside.. getting flashback..of her first entry to the house...
How everyone welcomed her wholeheartedly..gave her immense love ..never let her feel..that she had no one in this world..rather gave her everything..what she desired..treated her like a queen...
"Rangon se raang milee..nae nae dhang khile..
Khushee aaj dwaar mere daale hai dera...
Pihu pihu papiha rate..kuhu kuhu koyal jape..
Aangan aangan hai pariyon ne gheraa.."
This house of Delhi holds many memories of their married life...but to handle their buisness in Mumbai too..they had to shift to Mumbai's house...but returning to the place from where her journey started after sometime many years made her nostalgic.. bringing happy tears in her eyes..
"Anahat naad baajao ri saba mil..
Anahat naad baajao ri saba mil..
Anahat naad baajao ri saba mil.."
Reimincing every memories..she goes to their puja mandir..where the trio prayed for the better future..and also a win over evil..so that Sukriti can get her deserved justice..
After that...Rita ji told both of them to go inside their room...
Entering their room.. Shehnaaz touched every wall of the room.. feeling the memories..which they made here..in their early married life...
Suddenly she felt two muscular hands hugging her from back...she smiled feeling the touch..and whispered.."Sidharth.."
"Hmm.."responded Sidharth in his whispering tone..
"Itne saalon baad yaha aakar bahut accha lag raha hai..maano dil ko sukoon mil gaya ho..."saying so she turned to him..and hugged...
While he closed his eyes.. resting his chin on her head.. saying.."Hmm.."
"Sidhu.."called Sana being irritated by his constant one word answers..
"Ha Sanu.."said Sidharth lovingly..
"Sidhu.."
"Sanu.."
"Sidhu.. Sidhu ..Sidhu.."
"Sanu ..Sanu ..Sanu.."
With this they both burst into laughters .. laughing on their childish behaviour...and falling on the bed together..they laughed wholeheartedly...while Sidharth stopped laughing...and looked at his love..who was finally in his arms .. laughing wholly after their long time of separation...he smiled looking at her happiness..
Feeling his gaze...she stopped laughing and looked at him..who was smiling with tears in his eyes..
Nodding her head on no..she wipped off his tears lovingly...while he closed his eyes.. feeling her touch.. whispering..."I missed you meri jaan...I missed you a lot..."
Saying so he hugged her tightly sobbing in her embrace.. while she took had tears in her eyes . feeling his pain..and continued caressing his hair.. whispering sweet words..so that to..some extent his pain could be subsided......
