Khushi's baby shower

Payal: If you have a girl give her to me I will keep her like a doll

Khushi: And I will keep Yash like a prince.

Mami: Hello hi bye bye. In this ritual you have to give some blessings in the mother's ear not gossip about the whole town khoon Bhari tang.

Both the sisters laugh. Everyone blesses Khushi in their unique way.

Manorama comes to bless Khushi.

Manorama: Phatti saree. I hope you have a beautiful baby girl. I will not let her wear phate clothes like you. I will get her nice beauty dresses.

Khushi: Thank you Mamiji.

Manorama: Hello hi bye bye. Komal bitya you also bless Phatti Saree.

Komal: My good wishes are always there with you family.

Manorama: Not like these. Say in her ear something unique.

Komal looks at Khushi being tensed. She goes to Khushi.

Komal: wish all the happiness to you and your baby. And I hope your husband stays with both of you forever.

Khushi is shocked to hear her say something like that. She can never imagine her life without Arnav. She can see pain in Komal's eyes.

Khushi: I hope you also get someone special who cares for you and Mushkan like Arnavji cares for me Aarav and this baby. And my heart says it will happen soon.

Komal gives her a faint smile with tears in her eyes. She goes from there pretending to get a call.

.........

All the men are on the terrace as they are allowed to go down. Arnav is getting anxious for Khushi.

Akash: Bhai relax. Everyone is there with Khushi. She will be fine.

Arnav: I know Aakash. It's just as the due date is coming near. I getting scared that when Khushi will need me I might not be around.

NK: Nanav. You have not left her side for 6 months now. It will all be ok. Here have juice.

They continue their chit chat when they see Komal rushing on the terrace with tears in her eye.

NK: Komalji..

She doesn't stop and climbs on top of the water tank.

Arnav: NK what is see doing. Is she going to ....

NK: No... I will go and see

He also climbs up behind her.

He sees her crying very badly.

NK: Komalji are you ok. Did someone say anything bad? Is Mushkan ok?

She doesn't answer. NK sits next to her and carefully places a hand on her shoulder. Suddenly she hugs him and cries louder.

NK: Komalji tell me kya hua hai. Why are you sad.

Komal: NKji. Today seeing this baby shower brought back memories of the hardest phase of my life.

NK: Komalji you can share with me if you want to.

Komal: When I was pregnant with Mushkan. Noone was there with me. I never had a baby shower. Noone to care for me. To care for the baby.

NK: Komalji. If you don't mind can I ask where is Mushkan's dad.

Komal's eyes go wide and nose flares in anger.

Komal: Mushkan's dad. That coward who didn't have the strength to accept his pregnant girlfriend. He gave me some money and asked to get an abortion.

NK is shocked. He couldn't believe anybody in there right mind will not want a daughter as sweet as Mushkan.

Komal: And my parents they disowned me. I had to stay in the NGO. Everyone was very good there. They helped me supported me when my own parents didn't understand my condition. I experienced my pregnancy alone first ultrasound, Mushkan's first kick in my womb noone was there to share these things.

NK: Komalji. You are sad about people who were not there for you. But you should be happy thinking about people who were there for you. The NGO that supported you and after all the struggle you got Mushkan. I am sorry you went through all that but you should only focus on people who matter. About the future you want with Mushkan.

Komal calms down hearing his words.  She looks at the moon.

Komal: Mushkan means the world to me. She gave me the strength to complete my education. Eventually I became a inspector. Everyone started fearing me. I loved the power it gave me to protected other girls like me.

NK: Komalji you are very strict on duty. But when you are with Mushkan you are different.

Komal: She is the only one who connects me to my old self the soft and weak side of me.

NK: Not weak very strong. Now let's go Mushkan must be hungry. I promised her I will make jalebi for her.

Komal laughs.

Komal: Thank you.

As they start moving down. Komal comes down bt NK is still up.

Komal: NKji what happened.

NK: Komalji when I came up I didn't think about coming down. Now I am scared what if I fall.

Komal laughs loudly.

Komal: NKji you look so strong but you are are scared of goons and now of coming down of ladder too.

NK: Komalji. Stop making fun of me and help me.

Komal: Ok Ok. I will come up and hold your hand.

She helps him come down. When they are almost down. Komal slips on her saree and falls. NK falls on her.

They are lost in each other's eyes. NK leans with their lips just a inch apart.

Komal finally takes leads and kisses NK!
