Raghav says "Yesterday, when we were driving to Sammy's hotel, I asked him about Sunaina bhabi and he changed the topic. When we reached the hotel, he was unpacking his things and I was helping him too. I suddenly noticed ghungroos in his suitcase and asked him about it.
***
Flashback...
Raghav says "Sammy, you are learning bharat
natyam?" And he starts laughing.
Sammy gets shocked on seeing the ghungroos in his
hand.
Sammy takes the ghungroos from Raghav's hand and
packs it in the bag saying "It's nothing."
Raghav holds Sammy by his elbow saying "Sammy,
please tell me. Is something wrong? You can share it with me."
Sammy says "Nothing Raghav."
Raghav holds Sammy's shoulders and caresses it saying
"Look at me Sammy. Your eyes and your words don't match. I don't know why
I feel that you bought these ghungroos for....for Sunaina bhabi." Sammy
widens his eyes and Raghav continues saying "These ghungroos are purchased
from the village store as they have the print of these shops."
Sammy's eyes tear up and he says "I bought them
for her...for Sunaina."
Sammy narrates the past events.
After an hour, Raghav sits on the bed and says
"Sammy, it's not your fault to fall in love. It just happened. And bhabi,
I mean she is the best woman I have ever met. She has not only treated me like
an elder sister but has given me the love of a mom. I would be the happiest
person if you and she get together. Do you really want to get married to
her?"
Sammy says "Yes."
Raghav gets off the bed and says "I have decided
what to do. Let's not delay it more Sammy. There are only 5 days for the
fashion show and we need to do something in this short duration itself. Listen
to what I have planned. I will arrange a dinner date tomorrow and tell Kalpi to
call Sunaina bhabi as well as bhabi will never say no to Kalpi. Then I will
take Kalpana to another place so that you and bhabi can spend time alone. I
will tell the manager to organize an opera just like we have in American restaurants
and since you are good in singing, you join the band and show your talent.
Girls love boys who can sign and since bhabi is a dancer herself, she will
surely be impressed, hope so."
***
Sammy looks at his right where the singer is singing
the song "Har kisiko nahi milta yahan pyar zindagi main...." And
notices Sunaina hearing the song and smiling as she relates to the words of the
song "Not everyone gets love in their life...The person is lucky who have
got this spring in life. ..."
Sammy notices the happiness in Sunaina's eyes and the
sadness as well and gets nervous if she will like him singing as well. He had
never done this before and singing in front of such a huge crowd was a big
challenge for him.
***************************
Raghav says "I told Sammy to sing a song for
bhabi."
Kalpana says "What Sammy is going to sing?"
Raghav says "Yes and I hope so bhabi realizes
the love he has for her. Kalpana, you know bhabi has done so much for my family
and me."
Kalpana puts her hand on Raghav's shoulder to console
him and he tears up saying "I still remember the day when bhai....(he
takes a deep breath) bhai was crossing the road and a truck....Dad and mom
rushed to Delhi and they did not tell bhabi anything as they feared that she
might not be able to handle this news. They were afraid that it would harm her
child as well but it was my mistake. I was crying in my room and she came
inside thinking I must be crying because of an injury or something but I by
mistake told her about Bhai. She hears the news and rushed out of the room as
she wanted to go to Delhi. While reaching the stairs, she slipped and was
bleeding. I witness this with my own eyes and took her to the hospital with the
help of a maid and then the baby also died. I was feeling so low and during
that time blaming myself for the miscarriage but bhabi stood strong and
consoled me when she was going through the biggest trauma of her life. It was
my fault else bhabi's child would be alive today. After a day, when bhai's body
came from Delhi in an ambulance, dad was completely broken down and mom too.
Bhabi left the hospital even though she did not get a discharge and she was
feeling so weak. She came home and did not let herself break down in front of
mom and dad. She gave them strength and was their support system. After few
months, I lost mom too. Dad locked himself in a room as losing a son,
grandchild and then his wife as well was not easy for him. He was not able to
eat food nor drink anything. Bhabi was the one who managed the house and me as
well and told dad that he should not lose hope and continue working in the mill
to feed the village people as their house used to run on the money they earn
for the mill. She had lost everything but still she never said a word. Her
parents also had come to take her back but she said that she has a
responsibility of a son, that's me, and of a daughter as well."
Raghav starts crying and Kalpana hugs to console him.
He says "Bhabi has sacrificed her entire life for me Kalpi. I want her to
be happy and settle down. She has never said anything but I know how lonely she
feels when she sees a married couple happy with their child."
Kalpana says "I know Raghav. Bhabi has treated
me like her own daughter and never let me miss my dad nor mom. She has been
more than a mother for me and in this mission, I am with you. Bhabi needs to
get all the happiness and Sammy is perfect for her."
Raghav wipes his tears and says "Yes. Sammy sir
has been very kind to me all these years. In fact he only promoted me in the
office and also helped me financially when I felt lonely in London. He paid the
amount for purchasing the mill as well and I have only paid him 30% of the
amount. He has never asked me back the amount but I will pay him before her
leaves for London. We got only 4 days now Kalpi and I want bhabi to say Yes to
him before he leaves."
Kalpana smiles and says "I am with you Raghav.
Now and forever."
Raghav smiles at her and says "Thanks for
understanding me Kalpi. I love you the way you are. We may fight, argue or get
angry with each other but whenever I needed you as a friend, as a companion,
you have always been there for me. I love you for this."
Kalpana laughs and says "I too..." Raghav
raises his eyebrows and Kalpana gives a mischievoussmile and says "I
too..." Raghav says "You too...?" Kalpana blushes and says
"I too love..." Raghav says "You too love what...?" Kalpana
wraps her hands around his neck and looks into his eyes saying "I too love
....I too love bhabi." Raghav looks at her with disgust in his eyes and
says "What the...?" Kalpana points a finger at him and laughs saying
"hahaha... what did you think Mr. R." Raghav looks at her and gets
angry. He pulls her towards himself saying "Mr. R. haan? So finally that 8
yr old Kalpi is back." Kalpana's smile disappears and she starts closing
her eyes when he pulls her nearer. He looks into her eyes and says "I love
you Kalpana." She shuts her eyes, thus giving him the permission to kiss
her. He captures her lips into a passionate kiss. Fire crackers burst in the
air and Kalpana opens her eyes and breaks the kiss. She looks up at the
colorful crackers and smiles. Raghav caresses her face saying "Let's
dance."
***************************
Sammy says "Wow! India won the match and hence
people are firing crackers outside."
Sunaina looks at him and does not respond. "Why
is she not talking to me? From when I am trying to distract her so that we can
start interacting but she..."
Sammy says "Sunaina, I know that you are feeling
awkward to sit with me but I only came here because Raghav called me."
Sunaina raises her eyebrows and he says "I mean, I too wanted to see
you...I wanted to talk to you..."
Sunaina says "But I don't want to talk anything.
Please..."
Sammy says "Sunaina but..." and by mistake
his hand hits a glass of water. It spills and the water falls on Sunaina's
dress. She jerks and stands up showing her palm to Sammy who tries to apologize
for his mistake and she leaves the table."
Sammy thinks "Come on Sammy. Be brave and now is
the time you need to do what Raghav told me. Sammy beta, get into action."
Sunaina stops on hearing the song and turns behind.
She gets surprised to see Sammy holding a guitar in his hand and singing:
chak de chak de chak de (Cast it off...)
chak de saare gam (cast
off every sorrow.)
chak de chak de chak de (Cast it off...)
tere sa.ng hai.n ham (I'm
by your side!)
ha.nske to dekh tuu ek baar (Take one laughing look;)
khud hii aa jaa'egii phir bahaar (spring will come again all on its own.)
gaa le na'ii sargam giit ek naya gaa (Sing a new melody; sing a new song.)
aaya naya mausam aaya din naya (A new season has come; a new day has dawned.)
chak de chak de chak de (Cast it off...)
chak de saare gam (cast
off every sorrow.)
Sunaina hears the song and stands silently. Sammy
continues singing the song with his eyes set on Sunaina and playing the guitar
and all the guests cheer him up and listen to the song.
******************
On the top floor, Raghav holds Kalpana's hands and
takes her to the dance floor.
The song starts playing and the DJ chooses
"Sholon si" track to make the atmosphere light and romantic.
Raghav repeats the words of the song and sings
"sholon si (flames like flames)" He careeses her face and Kalpana
shuts her face, feeling soothening with his touch. He continues singing
"tere ankhon ki yeh roshni (this light for ur eyes) kiske liye hai kiske
liye hai (for whom is it, for who is it)" He swirls her around and sings
"chandni chandni, tere chere ki yeh chandni (the moonlight, ur bright face
moonlight) kiske liye hai kiske liye hai (for whom is it)" He touches her
neck and caresses her face again.
He touches her lips with his hand and Kalpana lowers
her eyes. "tera muskurana.. nazar yun jhukana (ur smiling, lowering of
your eyes) tera muskurana nazar yun jhukana (ur smiling, lowering of ur
eyes)" He pulls her closer singing "mere liye hai bas mere liye hai
(its for me only, only for me)" And she looks and him smiling softly at
his words and he swirls her around repeating the words again "sholon si
sholon si tere ankhon ki yeh roshni kiske liye hai kiske liye hai chandni chandni
tere chere ki yeh chandini kiske liye hai kiske liye hai"
The music plays and Raghav smiles and lifts Kalpana,
holding her by her waist and wrapping her around by his arms. She smiles and
blushes as he moves in a circle and he gently puts her down and swirls her
again. He caresses her hair as she turns behind and wraps his hand round her
stomach.
The audience form a circle round the couple and cheer
them by clapping for them. Raghav and Kalpana do not realize that people are
cheering for them and keep dancing.
Kalpana then moves away from Raghav and starts
signing the girls verse "samjho mera joh ishara hai (understand what my
signal is)" She points towards him and then to herself singing "joh
bhi hai mera woh tumhara hai (what ever mine is yours also)..." Raghav
smiles at her and she puts her hair behind singing "samjho mera joh ishara
hai joh bhi hai mera woh tumhara hai ..." She turns around singing
"lehar mein koi hoon khoyi (in some wave i am lost)" She goes towards
him and turns behind with her backing facing his back and sings "manzil
toh hai tu kinara hai (ur the destination and your the shore)" She turns
towards him and holds his shoulder singing "yeh meri adayaein yeh meri
wafaein (these styles of mine and my faithfulness) yeh meri adayaein yeh meri
wafaein" She puts her head on his shoulder hugging him and sings
"tujhko pata hai sabh tere liye hai (u know everything is for u)"
Raghav holds her hand holding his shoulder and turns
towards her and she sings "sholon si sholon si meri ankhon ki yeh roshni
tere liye hai tere liye hai chandni chandni mere chere ki yeh chandni tere liye
hai tere liye hai"
They continue dancing in each others' arms...
