Rathore takes takes out his card and says it has my number. You can contact me if you see or hear anything about them.
Agrath hands over the card to Nirbhay. He agrees he will tell for sure.
Meethi is walking towards them. Nirbhay looks at his dad while Meethi is only a little distance away from them. Both father and son look in her direction while Meethi continues walking looking down.
Nirbhay steps in between them and Meethi in time so that Meethi cant see the guests. Agarth assures them that he will call them right away in case he gets his hand on any info.
Both get up to leave. Jogi turns to thanks them while in turn Meethi turns to go back inside. Nirbhay watches her go. Agarth closes the door and is angry.
As soon as they step out of the haveli, Jogi gets a missed call alert by mausiji. Rathore says hope all is well. They both head to a PCO as their phones have no network.
City Hospital, Mumbai & Thakur House:
Nani is trying Jogi’s number again and again but it is unreachable. Puja is going on in Thakur House. She tries calling everyone at home but no one picks. Surabhi disconnects the landline call too. The driver comes with food. Tappu tells him to go and come back again later to pick the things. They will return home today. Its been so many days that she is here. She cant wait anymore.
Nani is tensed.
Scene shifts to Thakur House where everyone is praying for Iccha. Tappu and Nani are on their way. Tappu says it feels good to be going back home. Who are you trying to call? Listen to me Nani you know my anger. My heart is already weak what is something happens to me.
Nani gives in to her. Tappu tells her to let it be a surprise. They will be very happy to see me. Nani agrees not to share anything with anyone.
Aatishgarh & Thakur House:
Rathore and Jogi reach the PCO (same PCO where Meethi had come after running from home I guess). He rings up Nani. She replies in one word only. Tappu signals her not to tell him anything.
Jogi asks if everything is ok. Have the reports come? She says doctor has told Tappu can go home now. jogi says why do I feel that you are trying to say something but are unable to?
Rathore asks him if everything is fine back there. Jogi tells Nani tell Tappu I will come to meet her at hospital tomorrow. Tappu nods happily ok.
Jogi has a shock. He asks are you taking her home right now. You know there is teravin’s puja going on in the house. Nani cant say anything straightaway, yes I haven’t told her anything.
Jogi shares with Rathore she must have insisted for it. Rathore is also taken aback and worried for her. Before Jogi can say anything else, the line gets disconnected.
Tappu says to her, tell papa not to come to hospital to meet me. He should come in my room. She smiles happily.
Thakur House:
Pandit ji says the shanty puja is done. Now they must stand up and pray for the dead by keeping quiet for 2 minutes. All stand to pray. A car comes and Tappu steps out wearing a beautiful green saree (she is looking pretty!) with Nani in tow. Nani puts her hand forward to support her but Tappu says she wants to walk without support. She holds the Tulsi plant and touches the kalash lying there unknowingly. She feels happy to be home. The scene keeps shifting focus from inside and outside.
Tappu spots slippers outside. She says so many people have come? Oh yes, ma told there is a puja at home today. She enters inside happily but stops in her tracks when she sees people wearing white. They are standing in front of a photo and praying.
Tappu says what kind of a puja is this? Nani thinks Ram hi Rakhey, what would happen now?
Tappu starts moving ahead. She moves people aside one by one. Nani starts coming after her but stops herself.
She sees Iccha’s photo with a garland on it. She is shocked out of her wits and stands still as if lighting has struck her. Mukku notices her and pats Divya. She looks and rushes to her. She asks Tappu to come inside. But Tappu stands there motionless.
Divya goes to Nani and shouts at her. What did you do? You told her everything? The doctor had told not to. You could not take care of my daughter for one single day?
Nani cries she dint tell anything. Divya questions then why you let her come like this?
Damini tries to take Tappu inside. Tapu faints calling for Iccha. Om trayambhakam mantra starts playing in the background. Everyone else rush to her. Divya again shouts at Nani.
Nani cries hard. She is stubborn you know. I called everyone but no one picked up. Divya asks to call doc. Kanha leaves to make the call.
Damini says I have lost my one daughter I cant lose my another daughter. Open your eyes baby ji. You have to.
-Break-
Damini continues trying to wake up Tappu. You have to get up for your friend….for your Iccha. You will have to.
A dream sequence happens. Iccha is in front of the Tulsi plant. Tappu comes to her and asks where you are going. Why are you leaving me? You cant go without telling me. I too will come with you.
Iccha replies, no you cant come with me. Where I am going, I have to go alone. No one can go there with anyone. She turns to leave.
Tappu again stops her. You went to temple to pray for me then how can you go leaving me like this? Till date you haven’t decided anything about your life. I did. Right from what to eat / clothes / school/ our playtime everything has been decided by me only. I will come with you. I cant live without my friend.
Iccha declines. It isn’t mine but God’s decision. He wants me to leave. My time if over now. I have fulfilled all my responsibilities. You stayed away from everyone for years. It is your turn now to spend quality time with your family.
-Break-
Iccha tells her. All responsibilities are on you now. The biggest one is Mukta & Meethi. They are your responsibility now. Take good care of both of them. They need you the most. Always remember when a person leaves from this world everyone is left with memories only. When you leave, leave with the satisfaction that you did the right thing. I have to go now. You too have to go now. Everyone is waiting for you. Take care of everyone go. Saying so, she pushes Tappu slightly.
In the background, everyone is trying to wake up Tappu.
Damini says, you have to wake up for your friend. Tappu opens her eyes. She still looks blankly at them. Divya kisses her. Mukku asks if she is ok.
Damini says Thakurayin maybe it is God’s wish only. This isn’t the time to hide things. This is the time to tell her the truth. Surabhi gives uninterested looks.
Damini tells tappu, baby ji aapke seene mein meri Icchki ka dil hai (you have my Iccha’s heart in you). Tappu looks at her in utter shock. Mukku cries at Damini’s shoulder.
Damini says Thakurayin maybe it is God’s wish only. This isn’t the time to hide things. This is the time to tell her the truth. Surabhi gives uninterested looks.
Damini tells Tappu, baby ji aapke seene mein meri Icchki ka dil hai (you have my Iccha’s heart in you). Tappu looks at her in utter shock. Mukku cries at Damini’s shoulder. She gave it to you while leaving this world so that she can stay with you forever. She stays with all of us. She cries.
Tappu asks her, I have Iccha’s heart in me? Damini slightly nods her head in a yes. Tappu looks at Iccha’s photo. I had gone but am back now. You left leaving me all alone. Tappu closes her eyes while crying. Divya and Damini tell her to come inside with them. Tappu declines everyone. I wont leave my friend alone in her last journey. I will stay by her side.
On the way from Aatishgarh:
Rathore tells someone (guess the police inspector – PI for short form ahead) we have to go back urgently. But you keep me informed and keep searching. He disconnects the call. Jogi asks him about it. Rathore replies in negative they couldn’t find anything.
Jogi says I fail to understand what I should do. At one side, Iccha left us while on the other, Meethi is missing. What will I tell to Damini or Mukta? Rathore puts his hand over his to lend his support to him. Jogi is sad we couldn’t find Meethi. Rathore tells him they tried their best. They aren’t going back without searching properly. The search is on and will be till we don’t find Meethi. We are just going back to stop Tappu….before she reaches home. If something happens to her then your one daughter’s sacrifice for your another daughter will go waste. Meethi will be back. I have promised I will get her back safely. And I don’t forget my promise. I just wish if she is in some trouble then she doesn’t give up…just like her mother. Jogi nods in agreement and pats at his hand.
Aatishgarh Haveli:
Maiyya is cutting supari and asks Agarth, he dint doubt on me na? Agarth nods no. I have turned them around so well that they wont go in any other house in Aatishgarh to check about her. Nirbhay adds they had a very close shave. Agarth says there was a moment when we thought we will be caught. But then we stood in between them like a wall. Neither Meethi nor they could see each other. Nirbhay says he fails to understand one thing. How did they reach here?
Agarth replies that I don’t know. But the stars are certainly not in their favor. This time we got saved but next time they will come with police then ever we wont be able to do anything. Maiyya is disturbed and thinking about what he has said. Maiyya tells Nirbhay to call Akash. He goes.
Akash is roaming in the corridor. He is lost thinking about Kajri’s words. He worries about Meethi. She has seen the love in his eyes. He cant negate the truth for long. He will have to accept the truth sooner or later. Next he recalls Meehti’s words. The Maiyya who has raised you up, I can even sacrifice my life for her. Ma had come in dream and was scared to see my wound. Told her not to worry for Vishnu is with me. He breaks a flower vase by mistake and comes back to reality.
He bends to pick the flowers. Meethi calls for him. You were taking them for me and dropped them by mistake right? Sad tune plays in the background while Akash stands at a loss of words.
Meethi takes the flowers from his hand. They are beautiful. You are standing as if I am your teacher and you are my student. And the teacher is about to punish you right now. She smiles. I wont say anything to you. Move aside or you will get hurt by the glass.
He keeps looking at her and bends down to help her in cleaning the mess. He thinks what I am doing. How can they take revenge from this sweet innocent girl? Just like I lost my father in my childhood, she too has lost her mother. Poor she, she couldn’t even meet her for the last time. She should go back home. I will speak to Maiyya. I will tell her to let Meethi go back to her home. She is not to be blamed for any of this. I know she will agree to what I say.
Nirbhay was coming downstairs and looks at both of them. He calls out to Akash. Come Maiyya is calling you. She has to discuss something important with you. Come. Akash nods. He tells Meethi he will be back soon. She nods and he leaves with Nirbhay. CONTINUE READING FROM NEXT PAGE 2
