Sachin and Purvi rush to the hospital where Aabha has been admitted. Kaaki and Aakash are standing outside.
Aakash (scared, crying):Mummmyyy…Aabhaaa theekh ho jaayegi naa..mujhe darr lag raha hai..
Purvi (controlling):Kuch nahi hoga Aabha ko…Kaaki..aap..aap Aakash ko ghar le jaayiye…main hoon yahan
Kaaki:magar tum akeli..
Sachin: main hoon yahan Purvi ke saath…she looks at him sharply..Please Purvi..mujhe yahan rehne do..
Kaaki (softly): haan Purvi..iss waqt yehi sahi hoga..tumhari madat ho jaayegi..
Purvi looks through the window at Aabha. She is lying, breathing difficultly, she places a hand on the window and cries softly. Kaaki leaves with Aakash.
Purvi watches Aabha continuously. Sachin gets a phone call.
Sachin (whisper):maine kaha naa..meri meetings cancel kar do…main abhi nahi aa sakta
Purvi (wiping tears): tumhe yahan rehne ki koi zaroorat nahi hai…tumhe bahut kaam hoga..main manage kar loongi..
Sachin (genuine): Its okay Purvi..maine meetings cancel kardiye…main yeh karna chahta hoon
Purvi (angry):Kyun? Kyun karna chahte ho? Tumhara hamare saath rishta kya hai?
Sachin: rishta kya hai yeh toh nahi jaanta..magar iss waqt tumhe akele chodne ka mann nahi kar raha..tum yeh sab kaise sambhaalogi?
Purvi: 8 saal se yeh sab akele hi karti aa rahi hoon..tab toh tum nahi the naa…aaj bhi sambhaal hi loongi…aur hamesha bhi..she wipes her tears…
Sachin (confused, mind): mujhe aisa kyun lagta hai jaise mera kuch gehra rishta hai inke parivaar ke saath..
Sachin is about to speak, the doctor arrives.
Purvi (quickly):Doctor..Aabhaaa..Aabha kaisi hai?
Doctor (scolding):Kitni baar..kitni baar aapse maine kaha hai…no Ice cream, no cold drinks..Aabha ki lungs weak hai…uski condition pehle se zyaada aggravate ho gayi hai…Ms Purvi…we have to do the transplant soon…aap jaanti hai warna kya ho sakta hai ..
Purvi sobs uncontrollably and sits on the bench. Sachin runs behind the doctor.
Sachin: Excuse me..doctor..one minute please..the doctor stops…Hello..he forwards his hands. I am Sachin joshi..main Purvi ka..he hesitates..family friend hoon..kya aap mujhe bata sakte hai Aabha ko kya hua hai?
Doctor:Aabha ke lungs paida hone se hi bahut weak hai. Aise me usse bahut jaldi respiratory problems ho jaati hai..jaise jaise uske age badh rahi uski lungs ki power utni hi kam ho rahi hai…and she can only survive agar uski lung transplant ho..main yeh baat kayi baar bol chuka hoon Ms Purvi se..filhaal toh bachi roz medicines ke sahaare jee rahi hai..but its getting impossible now..aisa chalta raha toh…he shrugs his shoulders..
Sachin (worried look):Kya doctor? Aisa chalta raha toh?
Doctor (sympathy): I am sorry to say..but yeh bachi zyaada din tak zinda nahi rahegi..
Sachin stands there shocked at the news! He cannot imagine that the sweet little girl whom he has just met is going to die soon. He walks slowly to the window of the door. His eyes brim with tears as he watches Aabha breathing slowly with the help of machines.
He remembers her sweet, innocent talks and turns to console Purvi.
Sachin:Purviii..please ronaa bandh karo..maine doctor se baat kar li hai..Aabha ka lung transplant karna hai..woh theekh ho jaayegi
Purvi (sobbing): Main yeh baat jaanti hoon..tumhe kya lagta hai mujhe Aabha ki fikar nahi hai…main nahi chahti ki Aabha jeeye..agar mere bass me hota toh main kabka Aabha ka ilaaj karvaa leti..
Sachin: I agree Purvi…tum Aabha ki Maa ho..she looks up sharply..look, its none of my business, but Aabha ke dad kahan hai? Tumhare husband I mean…
Purvi (mind): yeh tum pooch rahe ho? Aabha ke pitaa tum ho Sachin Joshi…
Purvi (sniffling): Mera koi pati nahi hai..she wipes her tears..
Sachin (feeling sorry):Ohh..I..I am sorry..main imagine bhi nahi kar sakta tumne kitni mushkile sahi hongi..inn do bacho ko bada karne me..
Purvi: Hmmfff..tumhe samajhne ki zaroorat bhi nahi hai..
Sachin (feeling awkward):main…main chalta hoon..
Purvi: Theekh hai..
Sachin looks one last time at Aabha. He prays for her speedy recovery. He leaves the place with a hevy heart. He walks few steps and comes back to Purvi. She is again watching Aabha from the window.
Sachin (hesitating):Purvii..she turns to look at him..agar tumhe kuch bhi zaroorat ho toh mujhe bata sakti ho..I..I will be happy to help.
Sachin leaves finally. Purvi sits and sobs again.
Purvi (sobbing, mind): Kyun aaye ho tum hamari zindagi me Sachin? Kyunnn? Agar tum 8 saal pehle yahan se nahi gaye hote toh sab kuch theekh raha hota…Aabha aur Aakash ko unka poora parivaar mila hota..kitne khush hote woh tumhare saath…sab saath me hote…she wipes her tears…Aakash, Aabha,uske papa – Sachin aur uski Maa – NIRVI….
Flashback
Purvi's father and Purvi return home after the talks with Sachin's father. Purvi's father storms inside the house and rushes inside the bedroom to roughly pull a girl, slightly older to Purvi – her elder sister Nirvi.
Nirvi (scared, shocked): papaa..aap kya kar rahe hai? Mujhe dard ho raha hai…
PurviF (angry): Abhi ke abhi mere ghar se nikal jaa..meri poori izzat mitti me milaa di hai tune…yeh sab sikhaaya tha tujhe maine? College me yeh sab karne gayi thi tu?
Nirvi (crying):Papa….main Sachin se pyaar karti hoon Papa…aap samajhte kyun nahi…kya kaha uske papa ne? Sachin aa raha hai naa…boliye naa..
PurviF (loudly, angry):Nahi…who nahi aa raha hai waapas…bhaag gaya who tumhe chodd ke..tumhe aur tumhare hone waale iss bache ko..he pushes Nirvi in anger. Purvi holds her just in time
Purvi (shocked): papaaaa..pleaasee…Di Maa banne waali hai…Di aap baithiye..she makes her sit and gives her water.
Nirvi (sobbing):Purviii…Purvi bola naa…kya yeh sach hai? Sachin ne tujhse baat ki? Bataa na?
Purvi (holding her hands): Dii..Sachin India me nahi hai…aur woh shaayad waapas nahi aayega..aapko iss baat ko maan lena chahiye…Nirvi looks at her shocked…
Nirvi (whisper): Toh iska matlab..main akele iss bache ke saath..she looks at her 4 month old belly..she gets scared. Purviiii…Purvi mera kya hoga? Main yeh sab kaise karoongi akele…bol naa…
PurviF: tu yeh sab akele nahi karegi..Purvi isse tayyar kar abhi ke abhi..hum kisi doctor ke paas jaate hai..iska abortion karwaate hai…chal Nirvi…he gets up aggressively and comes to his daughters.
Nirvi: nahi…nahi…main mere bache ko nahi maroongi…nahi….Their neighbours start crowding hearing the commotion and their secret is out. They take Nirvi to a doctor who says that it will be life threatening to perform abortion. They have no choice but to take Nirvi back. She has to hear lots of insults from neighbours and the society in whole. Her father and family refuses to talk to her and islolate her. Only Purvi stands beside her.
The continuous insults and taunts have a negative impact on Nirvi and she starts hating the babies even more.
After their birth
Purvi (happy): Diiii…dekho naa..yeh gudiya kitni pyaari hai..she is cuddling her niece…the other baby cries..Purvi tries to balance both of them…Diiii..she calls..aap zara baby ko sambhaliye..main nurse se aur diapers leke aati hoon
Purvi comes back after some time. She is shocked to see the scene in front. Nirvi is trying to drown one of the babies in a tub of water.
Purvi (horrified): Diiiiiiiiiiiii….aap kya kar rahi hai…Diiiiiiiiiii…she struggles to release the baby out of Nirvi's strong grip. She calls for help. The ayah and nurse come and hold Nirvi.
Purvi holds the other baby who is already turned blue. She rushes to the doctor.
Doctor: Oh my goddd…iske lungs me toh bahut paani chala gaya hai…she watches helplessly as the baby battles with breathing.
Purvi (angry, crying):NIRVIIIIII Diiiiiiiiiii..aap paagal ho gayi hai kya? Who aapki bachi hai…kyun kiya aapne aisa? Kyun kiya?
Nirvi (angry):Nahi chahiye mujhe yeh bache…inki wajah se kitni jail katti dun rahi hoon main…mera jeena cheen liya..mere Sachin ko cheen liya….main inki shakal bhi nahi dekhna chahti…
Purvi (angry): Hosh main toh hai aap? Jo bhi hua isme inn bacho ka kya kasoor? Yeh dono toh masoom hai..she holds her shoulders..Diiii..aap maa ho Diiii..maaa…apne hi bacho ke saath aisa kaise kar sakti hai…Diiii…Diiiiiii…Nirvi frees herself from Purvi's grip.
Purvi spends whole of the day taking care of the two babies. The baby girl survives, but the doctor warns her of having weak lungs forever. Purvi takes the babies and steps into the room – Nirvi is nowhere to be found.
Purvi: Diiii…Diii kahan ho aap? She checks the whole room, the corridor, the foyer – no one knows where Nirvi went.
They all search for Nirvi, but in vain. Purvi takes the kids home.
PurviF: main toh kehta hoon daal do inn dono ko kisi anaath aashram me..
Purvi (shocked): Papa….yeh Dii ke bache hai..hamara khoon…yeh anaath nahi hai…Aabha ki haalat aisi nahi hai..usse bahut care ki zaroorat hai Papa…
PurviF: toh kya karoon? Inn ka bojh apne sar le loon…tum baat ko samajh nahi rahi ho Purvi…pehle hi Nirvi ke wajah se itni badnaami huyi hai..upar se uske do bache..aur inka khayal kaun rakhega?
Purvi: main hoon naa papa…inn bacho ki maasi…main khayal rakhoongi..
PurviF: Purviii..tu paagal mat bann..abhi teri padhaai bhi poori nahi huyi hai..uss beech yeh bachon ko kaise paalogi? Aur tumhari zindagi ka kya? Kaun karega tumse shaadi?
Purvi: abhi meri shaadi ke liye bahut time hai papa..pehle hame inn bacho ko sambhaalna hai…ooooo…she coos to the babies…main hoon naa..aapki maasi…bilkul aapki mummy ke jaise hi paaloongi tumhe..jiss din tumhari Mummy mil jayegi..uss din unke hawaale kar doongi main…tab tak main tum dono ko har mushkil se sambhaalke rakhoongi..tumhari har ichaa poori karoongi…tumhe dher saara pyaar doongi..
Flashback over
Purvi doesn't wipe the tears from her face.
Purvi (guilty): Sorrry Aabha..maine tum dono ko itne saal jhooth kaha…main tumhari mummy nahi..maasi hoon…aur..aur main bahut buri hoon…main apna waada nahi nibhaa paayi…maine tumse promise kiya thaa..tumhe hamesha sambhaaloongi, tumhari har ichaa poori karoongi…magar kar nahi paayi..she sobs badly..
Purvi (wiping tears): main ek aur promise kiya tha…tumhari mummy milne pe tumhe unhe saunp doongi..tumhari mummy toh mujhe mili nahi..magar…magar tumhare papa mil gaye hai..she sobs again..main kya karoon? Oh goddd…main kya karoon…
She is torn between her love for the kids and the desire for their well being…
Yes, as many of you guys guessed...Purvi is not the mother of these kids..its her sister. That's why Sachin and Purvi donot recognize each other...So what will happen now? Will Purvi tell the truth to Sachin? how will he react?
Keep reading :) Keep loving :)
