Sajeeri : Yeh kaada toh bahut kadwa hein Shivam Ji . Please mujhe nahin peena yeh sab..
Shivam : Jab dekho tab apni manmani karti rehti ho ….Chupchaap pee lo isse. Shaam ko jab mein lautunga toh mujhe tum aise bed pe nahin dikhni chahiye….Theek hona hein naa toh pee lo isse…
Sajeeri nods her head and gulps the bitter medicine.
Shivam got ready for his work. As Shivam’s mother Nalini arrived there he holds her hand and said : Maa aap hi sambhal lo apni gudiya ko. Meri toh bilkul sunti nahin yeh ….
Nalini : Shivam ..Are you the same Shivam who used to scold Sajeeri for each and everything ?
Shivam : Maa…
Nalini : Beta …..Don’t worry I will take care off her.
Shivam : Bye Maa.
Nalini : Bye beta.
Nalini goes near Sajeeri. Suddenly Sajeeri rise up from bed
Nalini : Sajeeri beta you are suffering from fever. Take rest .
Sajeeri : But Maa Shivam ji has said I should not be in bed when he arrives at evening.
Nalini : Beta Shaam hone mein abhi waqt hein. There is no need to bother about it.
Sajeeri : But he will scold me …
Nalini : Beta you still feel fear on my son ?
Sajeeri : Not like that. But sometimes his anger just burst like fire and I feels much fear .
Nalini : Mera beta rakshas thodi hein joh itna dar rahe ho ?
Sajeeri : Rakshas toh nahin but thoda khadoos hein…..But Maa mein kaam hi aisi karti hoon kee kabhi kabhi kuch gadbad hoti hein..
Nalini : Not at all. When you do work without stress and focused mind your work will always become perfect . Just remember it…Okay?
Sajeeri : Ji Maa…Aap nahin aati toh mein kisi orphanage mein rehti …..Meri maa ke guzarne ke baad ek aap hi thi jihnone mujhe samjha aur aapne toh aapke bete se meri shaadi bhi karwayi.
Nalini : Beta Devyani is my childhood friend and how can I leave her daughter alone ?
Sajeeri : But Maa Shivam ji ….Will he ever love me ?
Nalini : Beta let him give some time….Today he made medicine for you though it’s bitter it shows he cares for you….Kya pata aise hi khatte dawa ke saath kal tumhare liye woh koyi meetha sa mithai bhi banake de ….Mmhhh..
Sajeeri : You really think it will happen ?
Nalini : Yes. Beta don’t over think . Just take rest now. I will be back soon.
Sajeeri recalled the day of her marriage with Shivam
Shivam : Sajeeri I married you because my mother promised to take care off you . And I can’t disappoint my mother. So don’t expect anything from me.
Sajeeri feels sad.
Next day
Shivam shouts in anger : Sajeeri !!
Sajeeri ; What happened Shivam Ji ?
Shivam : Why you kept your Sarees here ? Don’t mix your clothes with my shirts and suits …
Sajeeri : I am sorry . But I didn’t find any cupboard to keep my dresses. How long I will keep my dresses in suit case only ?
Shivam brings a stand at his room.
Shivam : Will you stare me only ? Help me in arranging this .
Sajeeri : Okay
They both arranges things together and Shivam puts his shirts in the stand .
Shivam : Is this okay now ? You can use that space in my cupboard to keep your sarees .
Sajeeri smiles and looks him without saying anything.
Shivam : Sajeeri !! Sajeeri !! Are you listening me ? Is this convenient to you ?
Sajeeri was almost lost in Shivam and she was staring him without saying anything.
Suddenly Shivam pulls her two sided hair strands
Shivam : Oh Hello
Sajeeri : Shivam Ji aap kuch keh rahe the …
Shivam : Thank god …..And what’s this ? Why you are making two strands for hair after marriage…
Sajeeri : Aap kya kar rahe hein ? Ek yahi toh hein joh mujhe mere Baba ki yaad dilate hein….Baba jab mein bacchi thi tab roz school ke liye mere baalon ko aise hi banate the….
Shivam : But abb toh tum school jaane waali bacchi nahin ho .
Sajeeri : Haan…Par yeh jab bhi karti hun naa tab aisa lagta hein jaise mere baba mere aaspaas hi hein,…Please don’t do it again…
Sajeeri walks away without saying anything.
Shivam : Where is my tab ? Uske bina mein kaise schedules rakhunga meetings ki ? Pura ka pura kamra hi alag lag raha hein.
Sajeeri handovers tablet to Shivam
Sajeeri : It was kept at the table only. I cleaned the room and may be that’s why ….
Shivam ; There is no need to do that . I don’t like if things are misplaced. Do you understand ? By the way I am sorry
Sajeeri : For what ?
Shivam : I should not have did that ….I mean your hair…
Sajeeri : You are not that much Khadoos
Shivam : So you think I am really a Khadoos ….
Sajeeri ; I didn’t mean that
Shivam : I understand everything…After your arrival Maa gives extra attention to you. She makes the dishes which you likes most …When I asks for my favourite dish she says beta today adjust with this . I will make it another day…..Sajeeri likes this Sajeeri likes that…..Only Sajeeri is been heard now everywhere. Now Paapa also has started praising you….
Sajeeri : So
Shivam : You should …
Sajeeri : What ?
Shivam : Nothing…I don’t like the way they are pampering you as if you are a kid to them…..Be in your limits.
Sajeeri : I didn’t understand anything.
Shivam holds Sajeeri’s hand
Shivam : Nothing serious. Just tell maa that today when I will be back from office please tell her to prepare my favourite dish. Please……
Sajeeri nods her head with a smile.
Recalling the sweet and sour memories Sajeeri smiled ….She was now feeling better . So she went to kitchen
She started preparing Shivam’s favourite dish .Unfortunately her hand gets little burnt due to boiling oil ..
Sajeeri screamed in pain…..Maa!!
Soon Nalini arrives there. But to there surprise Shivam takes care off Sajeeri..
Sajeeri : Shivam Ji aap office se jaldi aa gaye…
Shivam started applied ointment on the affected area
Shivam : Why you went to kitchen ? You was suffering from fever.
Sajeeri : But you only told that by evening I should not be in bed.
Shivam : I meant to say Get well soon only…
Sajeeri : But I felt that you are commanding me ….
Nalini smiles seeing their nok jhoks
Shivam : So whatever I will say you will follow it word by word
Sajeeri : Yeah ..
Shivam : And if I will tell you to jump in river will you do that also ?
Nalini : Shivam !
Shivam : Maa see this girl ….What was the need of going to kitchen ? And the servant who is standing behind you , Madam aap kya kar rahi thi…
Nalini : Why you are scolding every one Shivam ? This was unexpected ….Sajeeri beta go with Shivam to room and take rest …
The reparing work of outhouse was going on at the morning and without knowing it Shivam went there and his leg slipped and he fell down at muddy area.
Sajeeri : Shivam Ji …..I will help you.
She came forward to held his hand but she also slipped and she fell over him
They both had an intense eyelock
Vikram and Nalini were stunned to see them like these
Vikram : Now both of you should take a bath.
Shivam : Paapa !!
With the help of some workers both Shivam and Sajeeri got rescued. Nalini orders them to go bathroom together.
Sajeeri ; But Maa hum donon ek saath kyun jawun ?
Vikram : Kyunki ek saath tum donon gire ho toh ek saath hi …
Nalini : Vikram Ji…
Vikram : I mean you both should go together.
As soon as Shivam and Sajeeri entered inside together Nalini and Vikram locks the bathroom from outside.
Shivam : Maa what’s this ?
Nalini : Beta ..I know you…You will leave bahu alone and go away….And we don’t want that.
