Daadu room

Dushyant (feeling sad, tears): Daaduuu..Ishuuuu…Ishuu chali gayi….mujhe bataya bhi nahi..

Daadu: Kya? Chali gayi? Tu ghabra mat…waapas aa jaayegi..1-2 din ke liye gayi hogi..waise gayi kahan hai?

Dushyant (guilty): woh apne daadi ke saath gayi hai…Guruji ke ashram..3 mahine ke liye..

Daadu (laughing): Ishuuuu? Aur uss ashram me…1 din bhi nahi tikegi..dekhna kal subah tak bhaag ke aa gayi hogi yahan….aur uss 1 din me uss Ashram me bhuchaal machaake aayegi..hahahaha…he laughs.

Dushyant (cutting him, serious): Nahi Daadu…iss baar..iss baar mamla serious hai..mujhe nahi lagta Ishu jaldi waapas aayegi..

Daadu (stops laughing): Puttar….tu yeh kya keh raha hai? Kya serious hai? Bol puttar..

Dushyant hugs his daadu and starts sobbing.

Daadu (worried): Puttar…tu ro kyun raha hai? Kya hua?

Dushyant (crying): maine Ishu ka dil dukhaaya daadu.. main bahut bura hoon..

Daadu (patting his back): arrreee…maajra kya hai…mujhe batayega bhi..

Dushyant (eyes down):Daadu..kal…kal raat…maine…woh..he feels it difficult to say..

Daadu (tension): Dekh puttar…mera heart bahut weak hai..jaldi bata kya baat hai..

Dushyant (closing eyes): Kal raat maine Ishu ko kiss kar diya Daadu..maine use kiss kiya…he says with a shame face. The image of them both kissing on the road pops up in his mind.

Daadu (shock): Tune..Ishuuu..ko kiss kiya?

Dushyant: haan Daadu..

Daadu (hugging him): arre..itni badi baat ho gayi…toh tu ro kyun raha hai? Iska matlab tum dono ne apni dil ki baat bataa di ek doosre ko…arre..waaah..aaj toh ghar me jashn hona chahiye…bahu ko bolo aaj ekdum shaadi waala khaana banega..Chicken, rasmalaai, Makke ki roti..

Dushyant: Daadu….be serious. Aisa kuch bhi nahi hua..hum dono ne koi dil ki baat share nahi ki…Ishu kal raat Dhruv ke saath thi aur main Gehna ke saath.

Daadu: Kyaa? Tu gehna ke saath gaya tha? He shakes his aaj kal ke bacho ka kuch samajh hi nahi aata mujhe…arrre tum pyaar karte ho yaa musical chair khelte ho? Aaj iske saath dinner peg aye..kal kisi aur se pyaar kiya..aur kiss kisi aur ko hi karte ho…ab bol bhi do shaadi kiss ladki se karne waale ho?

Dushyant (getting up): daaduuu…I love Ishuuu..woh mera pyaar hai..main kisi aur ladki ko who jagah de bhi nahi sakta..but..

Daadu: magar kya?

Dushyant: Ishuu shayad Dhruv ko pasand karti hai…

Daadu: main nahi maanta..usne mujhe aisa kuch bataya nahi…naaahh….ho hi nahi sakta..arre 100% who tujhse hi pyaar karti hai

Dushyant: aisa usne kaha aapse?

Daadu: nahi…aisa theekh se toh kaha nahi..magar main jaanta hoon…tu hi uska hero hai..

Dushyant: Nahi daadu…main hamesha se bass uska best friend tha..aur kuch nahi…shayad kal ki harkat ke baa dab uski nazron me villain ban chuka hoon..isliye toh who mujhse bina kuch bole chali gayi..

Daadu: Dil chota naa kar puttar…chali gayi hai toh waapas bhi toh aayegi naa..sab theekh ho jaayega..

Dushyant: nahi daadu…everything is over..yeh story…hamari friendship..sab kuch..he hugs his grandfather..

Daadi and Ishu

They have reached the ashram after a tiring journey. Ishita has been quiet in the whole journey. Daadi is surprised.

Daadi: ishuuu…baith beta…daadi ke paas aa..

Ishita sits quietly with daadi.

Daadi: tujhe itna chup pehli baar dekha hai..kya baat hai beta?

Ishita (eyes down): Kuch nahi daadi..main bass thode din ke liye..uss sabse door rehna chahti thi…main..main thakk gayi thi daadi..

Daadi: Thakk gayi? Kiss cheez se beta..

Ishita: pata nahi daadi…shaayad sab logon ki baate sunke..sabne itni umeeden rakhi hai mujhse..aur main..aur maine kuch bhi sahi nahi kiya..

Daadi: aisa kyun bol rahi hai?

Ishita: papa chahte the main unhe business me help karoon..magar maine animal center joi kar liya..Maa chahti thi main ek achi ladki banoo..ghar ke kaam karoon..ache kapde pehnoon..aur main..main toh ekdum cartoon ban gayi..aap chahti thi main ache se padh likh loon..lekin maine aapki bhi baat nahi maani..kabhi serious nahi huyi studies ke liye..Gehna chahti thi main ek badi bahen banke uska khayal rakhoon…aur main usko hi chot..she has tears in her eyes..

Daadi: tumne Gehna ko chot pahunchaayi? Yeh kya bol rahi ho?

Ishita (sobbing): daadi..Gehna..Gehna shayad Dush se pyaar karti hai..

Daadi: kya? Dushyant se? tujhe usne kab batayi yeh baat?

Ishita (sobbing): Nahi..usne mujhe bataya nahi..magar who keh rahi hai aisa bahut jald ho jaayega..Dush Gehna ko pasand karta hai.

Daadi (smile): aur tum Dushyant se bahut pyaar karti ho..hai naa?

Ishita (shock): main? Dush se..Dush se pyaar..nahi…she tries to deny it.

Daadi smiles and hugs her gently. Ishita breaks down.

Daadi (fondling her hairs): Ishuuuu..tu bilkul paagal hai..magar dil ki bahut achi…tumhare aankhon me saaf dikhta hai..tum Dushyant se bahut pyaar karti ho..jisse tum dosti samajhti ho..woh pyaar hi hai….

Ishita (sobbing): Haan Daadi..I..I love Dushyant…magar Gehna?

Daadi: ishuu..ek baat boloon..pyaar toh sabko ho jaata hai…magar pyaar ko poora karne ke liye hume bhi koshish karni padti hai..jab tak tum apni dil ki baat nahi bologi…tab tak tumhara pyaar poora kaise hoga? Kya tumne Dushyant ko apne dil ki baat bataayi?

Ishita nods her head as No.

Daadi: phir toh galti tumhari hai..tumhe usse batanaa hoga tum kaisa feel karti ho.

Ishita: main…main Dushyant ko face nahi kar sakti…main Gehna ka dil nahi todd sakti daadi..

Daadi: Ishuuu lekin..

Ishita (stop crying): Kya Daadi….hum aaj hi toh aaye hai…aap yeh sab baat karke kyun hum dono ka mood bigaad rahi hai..chaliye naa..mujhe woh farm house pe jaana hai..wahan pichle baar cute se rabbits the…chalo naa…

Daadi: Ishuuu..

Ishita (smile): don't worry daadi…main theekh hoon…maine socha wahan sab ke saath rahoongi to iss sab ke baare me sochne ka mauka hi nahi milega..yahan sabse door..yeh teen mahine..sab kuch sort out ho jaayega..aap dekhna…yahan se jab main wapas jaoongi..toh ekdum samajhdaar, suljhi huyi brand new Ishita banke jaoongi…she laughs..

Gehna and Dushyant

Gehna: Dushyant..kya tum aaj aa rahe ho Kavita ki party me? Sab log jaa rahe hai..

Dushyant: nahi mera mood nahi hai..

Gehna: actually party club me hai…main kabhi club gayi nahi hoon aur Kavita ne kaha..party me ek partner ke saath hi aana hai..toh kya tum please mere saath chaloge?

Dushyant: I am really sorry..mera mood nahi hai..

Gehna (disappointed): Okay…fine..main Kavita ko bol deti hoon..main nahi aa rahi..

She walks to the door of his cabin.

Dushyant (sighs): Gehna..rukoo..she turns…Dushyant gives a small smile..kitne baje jaana hai party me?

Evening, party

Gehna and Dushyant make an entry together in the club. Everyone looks at them in awe.

Kavita: wow! Gehna..you are looking cute..aur tum Dushyant sir ke saath? Bahut ache lag rahe ho tum dono..

Gehna: Thanks..waise baaki sab log kahan hai?

Kavita and Gehna walk up to other girls from their office. Dushyant goes to the bar and orders a drink.

Dhruv (voice): one on the rocks for me too..

Dushyant: Dhruuuv? Tum? Yahan..

Dhruv: hey Dush…nice party haan..khair main toh bass yuhi timepass karne aaya tha..kuch aur tha nahi karne isliye..

Dushyant: tum kiske saath aaye ho?

Dhruv (smile): akela hoon..soch raha hoon…kisise dosti kar loon..hai koi ladki tumhare nazar me?

Dushyant (drinking): nahi..

Dhruv: hmm…sahi kaha…kisime bhi who baat nahi..

Dushyant: kaunsi baat?

Dhruv (coming closer to him): Ishita waali…he smiles at Dushyant…cheers!

Dushyant (stops drinking): what?

Dhruv (smile): Come on dude…tum achi tarah se jaante ho…she is special…she is..she is hot..sexy..wild cat…..isse pehle ki kuch action hota..chali gayi mujhe akela chodd ke..Hey Dush…bol naa? Is she good? You know…he winks..

Dushyant (getting angry): just shut up..

Dhruv (lazy smile): Relax brooo…tum toh aise bhadak rahe ho jaise tum uske aashiq ho? He winks..ho kya?

Dushyant throws his glass on the floor and holds Dhruv's collars. He is about to punch him.

Dhruv (smile):hey..hey heyyy..chill dude..itna gussa kis liye? Main toh bass aise hi pooch raha tha..tum Ishita ko bachpan se jaante ho..isliye..nothing else my boy!

Dushyant takes his hand down, he places his hand on his head. He is feeling dizzy.

Dushyant (taking his coat): I think..I need to go…I need to go…he rushes to the exit of the club.

Gehna comes running after one of her friends informs about the fight.

Gehna (surprised): Dhruv…tum..tum theekh ho? Aur Dushyant…Dushyant kahan chala gaya? She searches for him

Dhruv (straightening collars): Dushyant chala gaya..uski tabiyat theekh nahi thi..

Gehna (panic): what? Chala gaya? Mujhe bina bataaye…ab main ghar kaise jaoongi?

Dhruv (smile): Relaaax..main hoon naa…I will drop you..tumne..tumne kuch khaaya? He asks with concern.

Dushyant, driving back

He is reminded of Ishita…their fun times in school, her funny antics, how she helps his daadu, the time when he said 'I love you', their fights..and their 'kiss'.

He brakes his car. He looks around it's the same spot where he had kissed Ishu. Dushyant steps out of the car. He can see Ishita and him kissing just the same they did.

Dushyant (tears flowing): I miss you Ishuuu…agar uss din maine apni dil ki baat phir se bataa di hoti toh kuch badal jaata hamare beech?

Dushyant imagines..

Dushyant (after kissing): Ishuuu..I…I love you…Do you love me?

Ishita (pushing him): Whattt? Noo..main…main Dhruv se pyaar karti hoon..she sobs..

Imagination over

Dushyant feels his heart breaking and sits down against the car and sobs.

Dushyant (loudly): Nahi jhel sakta main iss baat ko..nahi bardaast hota yeh…kyun Ishuuu? Kyun mujhse pyaar nahi karti? He sobs…

He gets up and angrily opens the door and drives off.

Dushyant Home

Dushyant: papa..mujhe aapse kuch baat karni hai..

DushyantF: bolo beta..

Dushyant: Main…main yahan se jaana chahta hoon…kahin doooor..

DushyantF (worried): kahan?

Dushyant (sighs): California…ek business school course hai..6 mahine ke liye….next month shuru hoga..

DushyantF: 6 months? Are you sure?

Dushyant (looking into his eyes): yes Papa..I am sure..

Later dushyant room

Dushyant: ishuuu..jaise tum mujhe face nahi karna chahti thi…waise hi main bhi tumhare saamne nahi rehna chahta..main tumhe kisi aur ke saath nahi dekh sakta..shayad yeh doori hum dono ke liye achi hogi..he shuts his eyes, his tears fall down..

After a month, Dushyant leaves for his course.

3 months later,

Ishita and daadi arrive back at their house. Everyone is surprised at the changed behavior of Ishita. She is now more mature and talks wisely.

IshitaM (tears): Mujeh toh yakeen hi nahi ho raha ..yeh hamari Ishita hai? Kitni samajhdaar ho gayi hai..

GehnaM: haan bhabhi..main toh kehti hoon jaldi se koi acha rishta dhoond lijiye..Ishita ke haath peele kar dijiye..

Ishita: maa…Gehna kahan hai? Woh ashram se Prasad laayi hoon…Dush..Dushyant ke ghar dena tha.

GehnaM: Gehna toh office se aayi nahi abhi…aaj kal bahut der se aati hai..uska kaam badh gaya hai..Dushyant ke naa rehne se saari zimmedaari usse de di hai.

Ishita (surprise): Dushyant? Dushyant kahin gaya hai kya? Naa rehne se matlab?

IshitaM : arre haan…tujhe toh yahan kya ho raha hai..kuch bhi nahi pata naa…Dushyant California gaya hai…padhaai karne…tere jaane ke ek mahine baad hi who bhi chala gaya..4 mahine baad hi aayega..

Ishita (mind): Dushyant 6 mahine ke liye gaya? Kahin mere wajah se toh nahi?mujhe Gehna se baat karni hogi… I hope sab kuch theekh ho..

Evening, Gehna room

Gehna is talking softly to someone. Ishita knocks and enters. Gehna doesn't realise.

Gehna (smiling, shyly): Tumne mujhe miss kiya? Come soon naa..she sighs..I know..its tough..yeh time jaldi kyun nahi jaata..aur tum itne door bhi ho..

Ishita realizes she may be talking to Dushyant. She feels a stabbing pain in her heart and starts to walk away to the door. Her hand hits Gehna's diary and something falls out. Ishita bends and picks up..its a golden card…

Ishita (mind): Card? She opens it…there is a heart drawn inside of which its written – To my angel – gehna, Love…D

Ishita looks at it in shock. Her eyes brim with tears.

Gehna: ishitaaa..tum? she rushes to her and hugs her tight.

Gehna (happy): kaisi ho tum? Tumhe bahut miss kiya hum sab ne..

Ishita (fighting her tears):maine bhi miss kiya…kaisi hai tu? Taaiji bata rahi thi..bahut kaam hai aaj kal

Gehna: haan yaar…tumhe pata hoga naa Dush California me hai…itni doooor..padhaai karne..ab who nahi hai toh sab kuch mujhe karna pad raha hai..

Ishita: hmmm…toh tumhari baat hoti hai usse?

Gehna: haan…abhi 5 min pehle ussi se baat kar rahi thi main..Ishita realizes Gehna is going around with Dushyant.

Ishita: ohh achaa…kaisa hai Dush?

Gehna (smile): Bahut acha hai…magar bahut busy hai..abhi kal se tests hai uske…agle 2 hafte tak contact nahi karega woh..tum baat karna chahogi usse?

Ishita (quickly): Nahi…mujhe baat nahi karni hai..I..I donot wish to disturb him…

Gehna: okay..cool with me…chalo aaj sab saath me dinner karte hai…she pulls Ishita away for dinner.

Later, ishita room

Ishita (mind):Main waapas aa gayi..toh tum chale gaye Dush…kitna kuch badal gaya in 3 mahino me…acha hi hua..tum aur gehna…main..main khush hoon Dush…bahut khush..

She shuts her eyes and tears fall like rain !

So Dushyant is with Gehna? or is he? What will happen when Dushyant comes back?
