Continuing from previous part

Same morning kuljit call laksh from Bhopal , laksh pick it in second ring and utter a quick " good morning papa "  , kuljit smile a little hearing his voice and reply " good morning beta 🙂 ghar pe ho  abhi? "

Laksh say while typing on his laptop " nahi office mein hoon kaam kar raha hoon woh Saklani wali deal thi na usski report shaam tak ban jaygi , phir Kutharis wala project bhi karna hai(no I'm at office working that Saklani's deal report will be ready till evening then I'll work on Kutharis project too)" .

Kuljit say with little heavy voice " laksh saara din kaam hi karte rahte ho aaram kab karoge , zindagi bahut choti hoti hai isse sirf kaam karke waste nahi karna chahiye( laksh you'll work whole day when you rest , life is very short you shouldn't waste it by doing work only)" .

Laksh sense he dad is sad or depressed about something so he directly ask " papa kya hua ? Koyi problem hogyi hai kya wanha ? Aur aapke woh dost woh kaise hain?(papa what happened? Any problem in that place? And how's your friend ?)

Kuljit's eyes filled with new tears as he say " laksh jeete----jeete abh iss duniya mein nahi raha . Socha tha uske samane naak ragadh kar bhi maafi mangni pade toh maang lunga lekin aakhari baar bhi nahi dekh paya usse(laksh jeete----jeete is no more . I thought that if I have to bend on knees and then ask for his forgiveness then I do it but I was so late that can't see him in last time)"

Laksh felt bad for the deceased man and for his papa , he say in consoling voice " yeh toh bahut bura hua papa maine kabhi kaha nahi par janta hun aap unhe yaha waapis laana chahte the khair aap apna dhyan rakhiyega main wanha pe aaoon ?(that's really sad thing papa  , I never said it but I know you want to bring him back here anyways please take care of yourself should I come there ?)"

Kuljit wipe his tears off and say " nahi nahi beta tum wahan par ruko waise toh maine bhabhi ji aur bachiyon se kaha tha ki mere saath Mumbai chale lekin unohne mana kar diya phir main kya kar sakta hoon dus din baad aa jaaunga ghar waapis (no no beta you stay there , I told bhabhi ji and kids(girls) to come Mumbai with me but they refused so what I can do I'll stay here for 10 days then come back home)" .

Laksh hmmmm in reply and say " papa woh Kutharis ke project ke liye mujhe Delhi jaana tha do din ke liye par aap wanha hai toh kya abhi meeting cancel kar doon?" ( Papa I have to go for Kutharis project to Delhi but you are there so should I cancel the meeting?)"

Kuljit say " nahi tum jao mein aa jaunga okay acha meera kaise hain?(no you go I'll come back soon and safely okay how's meera ?) "

Laksh say " aunty thik hain jaldi aa jaiye (aunty is fine you come soon)"

Kuljit shook his head on him still mentioning meera as aunty but he can't do anything about it , they cut call and kuljit get ready to visit jeete's well now Santosh bhabhi house , he decided to give them 20 lakhs cheque for help but tell them it's Surjeet's committee money he done 15 years ago before coming here in Bhopal and he come here with that money only this way they won't doubt him and take money too .

At ragini's house

Santosh give bread butter to both girls and say " acha dhyan se jaana dono thik hai aur Ragini college se sidhe ghar aana( okay go safely both of you and Ragini come home straight from college)"

Ragini nodded and hag her bag on shoulder ready to leave with bittu but three of them hear loud knocking sound on their door so Santosh open it and find landlord standing there with two more men and say " ghar khaali karo bahanji ( leave this house bahanji)" ...

Santosh look at them shock but still maintain a strong voice to say " bhaisahab dekhiye main teen aur din mein kiraya de dungi ( bhaisahab I'll give you rent in three days)"
But he didn't agree on it and say " bahanji maine pehle hi chaar mahine ka time de diya tha aap logo ko lekin ab aur nahi makan khali kariye aur mera paisa dejiye waise bhi aap logo ki kaafi shikayate aati hai , pata nahi kaise log ho tum log ( bahanji I have already give you people four months but any more leave the house and give me my money besides there are many compliments about you people from neighbors , don't know what kind of bad people you are)"

Hearing this ragini felt anger rushing into her mind she say " kaise log matalb uncle hume itne saal ho gaye hain yaha rahte aaj tak toh kisine kuch nahi kaha par do din mein achanak se humari shikayate bhi anne lagi ! Kyu bin wajah baat ko badha rahe hain uncle (what kind of people means? Uncle we have been living here from many no one said anything before but in two days people suddenly started complaining about us ! Uncle why you making this a big thing)"

Landlord say " pehle toh tamiz se baat kar aur dusri baat ghar toh aaj hi Khali karna padega tum logo ko nahi toh dhake maare ke nilak dunga (first talk in correct way and respect with me and second thing you people have to leave this house today only or else I'll have to kick you out)"  he nod to his men to enter in house and pull the girls out but kuljit arrive there and in one loud angry voice call them to stop 😡

He pushed the men out from door then ask what happened from Santosh , she narreted every thing and kuljit give money to landlord clearing their due .

After half an hour
Landlord take money but still want them to leave this house , Santosh is worried thinking where to rent house next ? Kuljit again suggest " bhabhi please main aapse kah raha hun Mumbai chaliye wahan mera ghar hai Meera bhi hai , wahan parivaar ke saath rehke aap aur bache safe rahegy yaha akele toh koi bhi baat ho sakti hai ( bhabhi please come Mumbai with me to my house live with me and Meera , you and kids can live there safely with family here alone anything can happen to you)" .

He does has a point if Surjeet was alive that landlord doesn't dare to talk with them in such manner besides they doesn't have enough money to give advance for new rented house so Santosh agree to kuljit and he ask his agent to book four tickets of first AC train  .

Ragini still don't want to leave this town but have to face reality that they have no money nor roof on head so she agreed with half heart to live in Mumbai .....
