#Episode106

Flashback (continued):

Santu was concerned, seeing pushpa ji so worried about her. She didn't like it, she didn't wanna trouble her amma, but here she was, lying on the bed, trying to recover.

The fever had now gone, 3days since they returned. Haseena had called up Pushpa ji to enquire about their journey.

She did check on them through WhatsApp but couldn't make the time to call being stuck up between Karishma's health and academy work.

On call conversation:
(When Karishma was kneeling in Haseena's room, as a punishment, this conversation took place. While Santu is mindlessly scrolling through her phone, unaware of the upcoming danger)

HM: jii pushpa ji ab chhoti behtar hai

PJ: hume toh ye nhi samajh aa rha, ye dono ne aisa kya kiya jo saath mei bimar padh gayi

HM: aapko nahi pata? Santu ne bataya nahi?

PJ: kaha bataya, kabse puch rahe hai usse, indirectly, directly, kuch bata hi nahi rahi sahi se... Hume toh shuru se lag rha tha kuch gadhbadh hai...

HM: gadhbadh toh hai

PJ: haina, aapko pata hai kya hua tha? Aap bata dijiye hume?

HM: hmm, jaante toh hai hum, par aise nahi, Santu kya kar rhi hai?

PJ: apne room mei, phone chala rhi hai

HM: jaaiye uske paas phone leke, baat krte hai usse

PJ: par baat kya hai maddam sir?

HM: aap jaaiye toh sahi

Pushpa ji went to the room where Santu was seated. Pushpa ji sat across her, on the edge of the bed and put the phone on speaker:

PJ: dekho, maddam sir ko baat krni hai tumse koi

Santu jumped excited and sat beside PJ

SS: Haseena didi? Hellooo, kaise ho aappp?

Her happiness was short lived as Haseena's tone clearly depicted how upset she was with them, she didn't answer Santosh, instead straight away questioned her

HM: tumne Pushpa ji ko sach kyu nahi bataya?

Santosh hesitated, she knew where this was leading to

SS: konsa sach?... Kya... Kya bol rhi hai aap?

HM: Amma hai vo tumhari Santosh, she deserves to know every bit of your life, no matter how right or wrong you've been

SS: uhm

HM: zyada se zyada kya hoga? Daant khaogi? 2 thappad kha logi? Bas na? Uske liye tum jhuth bol rhi ho apni amma se? Aur itna hi darr tha toh galti karne se pehle sochte kyu nahi ho tumlog? Tab toh himmat saatve aasman pe hoti hai, haina? (Stated Haseena angrily)

SS: uhmm... Sorry didi, hume laga nahi tha ais....

HM (interrupted her): hume aapke jhuthe sorry nahi chahiye Santosh

SS: jhuth nahi bol rhi

HM: nahi santosh, you aren't even guilty about it

SS: I am didi, trust me, I am, amma ko aise train mei pareshan dekh ke hume kaafi guilty feel hua

HM: fir bhi tumne ab tak unse sab chupa ke rakha? Unke puchne ke bawjood?

Santosh bowed her head in guilt, she knew she was wrong, it was her fault. She glanced at her amma, who was listening to the whole conversation, and observing keenly

Santosh couldn't read her eyes and expressions this time, so she hesitated and asked

SS: Haseena didi, aapne amma ko bata diya kya sab?

HM: nahi santosh, galti aapki hai, kubul karna bhi aapko hi seekhna hai... Aur hum call pe hai, aap abhi batayengi Pushpa ji ko puri baat

SS: par

HM: abhi Santosh (sternly, she ordered her)

And this time, Santosh knew, there was no escape. She glanced at the phone screen and then at her amma, she began with an apology, then continued to explain the incident, she also concluded it with another apology

"Amma hume sach mei nahi laga tha tabiyat itni bigadh jayegi, humara intention aapko pareshan karne ka bilkul nahi tha, hum toh bas thodi si masti.... " Her voice trailed off as 'thudd' a sound came, Pushpa ji had slapped Santosh, for the very first time.

And Santosh was blank, it was then, when Haseena barged in

HM: Santosh ne ekdum sahi kaha Pushpa ji... In dono ke dimaag mei pata nahi konsa masti ka bhooth sawar tha... Khair jo bhi, achi baat ye hai ki dono swasth hai abhi... Humne chhoti se deal kar liya hai apne hisaab se... Aur Santosh

SS: uh... Jii didi?

HM: aapne jo di gayi freedom ka misuse kiya hai, uske liye you'll write an essay (she then described the details as mentioned earlier).... Clear?

SS: jii didi, I'm sorry

HM: baaki Pushpa ji, aap iski amma hai, aapko jaise jo sahi Lage

Pushpa ji, who hadn't spoken anything yet, she just thanked Haseena for the information and cut the call

She didn't even glance at Santosh and stood up to leave. That's when santosh caught her, by her wrist

SS: Amma pls

Pushpa ji placed another tight slap, shaking Santosh to the core

PJ: himmat kaise hui tumhari? Apni health ko mazak bana ke rakha hai? Jaanti bhi ho hum kitna darr gaye the? Kitna ghabra Gaye the? Humare paas ek lauti tum hi ho, jeene ki vajah, tumne use kaise jokhim mei daala?

Santosh's lips quivered, she had never seen her amma this angry

SS: firse...

PJ: firse hone ki naubat aani bhi nahi chahiye...

Pushpa ji warned her. She then took out a wooden scale from the drawer and pointed it at Santosh

PJ: situps start Karo, and at every situp you'll say that you won't risk your health

Santosh looked at her with wide eyes

SS: but amma

PJ: no ifs and buts, I need 30 of them, and if you stop in between, the scale does the talking, an entire tub of icecream is no joke, and I won't let it slide so easily (pushpa ji declared, her voice signifying the authority she held)

Santosh was too scared to disobey or even stop, she managed to complete the entire punishment without any scale strokes, she didn't wanna have a taste of it, atleast not yet.

By the 30th situp, she collapsed on the floor, pushpa ji then felt bad, she didn't wanna hurt her daughter, her reason to live and smile. But she didn't want her to develop such health risky habits either. She wanted her to understand, she and her health are precious, to Pushpa ji, more than she thinks.

With that the duo hugged wiping out the worries and tension in the air.

Santosh made it a point to complete Haseena's punishment on time as well and apologized to her about the matter later.
