Purvi looked around through her tired eyes, women in revealing clothes peeping through the balconies, curious eyes on her. She now looked at her blood filled hands.
Flashback*
Purvi went to kitchen and started crying. Abhi's words and action both had broken her heart. She never in her life had imagined that such a day would come, he will raise his hand. She was crying when she heard something breaking...some object or something. The sound came from her room. She rushed to her room and peeped inside. She was shocked to see the view, Abhi was sleeping, leaning against the wall and his hand was severely injured, it was bleeding profusely.
Purvi ran towards him but without making any sound. She sat beside him and held his injured hands. Now her hands were covered with his blood. She immediately rushed outside to get the first-aid box but before she could do his first aid there was a sudden knock at the door.
Purvi: Itni raat ko kaun ho sakta hain?
She thought and went to open the door, keeping the first aid box aside. As soon as she opened the door, few men rushed inside and grabbed her. Before she could call Abhijeet, a mascular hand covered her mouth. She tried her level best to call Abhi but her mouth was tightly covered. Those men force fully dragged her out of the house. The last sight was the first aid box kept on the table. She wished she could apply the medecine on his wound before opening the door. She still tried hard to make some kind of noise but failed.
Flashback ends*
She looked at her blood filled hands and slowly applied it on her forehead. The car stopped and they pulled her out of it. She looked around and immediately understood what kind of place this is.
Nihar held her hand and pulled the to the main haveli, the Brothel. The golden hall with ancient artifact's and a large jhoomar above. People bowed to him as he entered the hall. Girls in lehenga were practicing dance when they stopped and bowed to him.
From the wide stair case walked in a lady in her 50s dressed in jewellery and revealing clothes just like other girls. She was chewing pan. She stood in front of her.
Lady: nihar aakhir le hi aaye itne dino baad koi chidiya.
she said and looked at her. Purvi looked at her through her tired eyes, her face had sweat and tears. She held her chin.
Lady: naam bata apna?.
Purvi: Mujhe jeet k pass jana hain.
she whispered innocently. That woman laughed at her.
Lady: tum ne bataya nehi nihar ki yaha aate to hain do pairon pe par nikal te hain char kandho pe. Awaz mein itni khanak hain, sharir mein itni jawani hain, kya chiz laye ho iss baar.
Said the woman while rubbing her fingers on her cheeks.
Nihar: Ae Nadia isko kuch nhi hona chahiye, yeh chabi hai hamare bachne ki.. dhyan rakhna koi chhu bhi na paye isko.
Purvi looked at them in confusion.
Nihar: Sunn meri baat , tere pati ne takkar liya hai hum logo se jab tk wo haar nhi maanta tu yahin rahegi. Samjhi..
Now Purvi understood Abhi's concern. She was hating her self now.
Nadia: Aee ladkiyon le jao isko aur kya karna hai jaanti ho na??
Few ladies took her with them and pushed her into a room.
Purvi: Please jaane do mujhe yahan se...
She requested but they laughed.
Cid bureau*
Everyone working when abhi enters.
Dcp: are yeh kya? Itna late aaye ho aur wo bhi ye kya bankr aaye ho lagta hai nahaye bhi nhi.
Acp: sir ek minute mai baat krlu. Abhijeet kya hua beta?? Sab thek hai na.

Dcp: Koi tumhari madat nhi krega... sunn lo tum log agar iski kisi ne bhi madat krne ki koshish kri toh mai usko suspend kr dunga.
Daya: Lekin sir purvi bhabhi...
Dcp: Daya apni shreya aur dedh saal ke bete ki chinta nhi tumhe? Aur ek minute ke liye agar tum logo ne iski madat kri bhi apne pariwar ki jaan dav pe lagakr uske khilaaf lade bhi toh kya fayeda hoga? Jab wo firse 3 din baad khule aam ghumega aur wahi kaam krega toh apne pariwar ke liye rote firoge.
All down their heads.
Dcp: Dekho abhijeet main abhi bhi keh raha hu tumse case wapis lelo aur apni biwi ko le aao..
Abhi: Bilkul bhi nhi.. unn masum bachiyon ki zindagi ka sawal hai sir aur agar mai case haarke purvi ko le bhi aaya tb bhi use paakr kho dunga. Wo nafrat kregi mujhse jab usko pta chalega ki maine unn bachiyon ki jaghe usko chuna aur unki life dav pr lga di.
Dcp: toh thek hai jeet jao case aur kho do apni biwi ko.. pr bhut pachtaoge jab fir bhi uss dhariya ko khule aam ghumte dekhoge.
Abhi: Aisa kabhi nhi hoga.. waada hai mera mai usko uske karmo ki saza bhi dilvaunga, unn bachiyon ko uss nark se bhi chhudvaunga aur apni purvi ko bhi sahi salamt wapis lekr aaunga.
He said and left from there.
Dcp: tum log commissioner ki beti ko dhundo clg se kidnap hui hai wo.. chalo lago case pe.
On Otherside*
A woman in decent saree walked in and sat beside her patting her head.
Lady: Purvi main Chandni, utho aansu poncho pehle.
Purvi: Aa..aap kon??
Chandni: Main nihar ki biwi hu..
Hearing this she moved away.
Chandni: Daro mat mujhse kuch nhi karungi.
She gently rubbed her face with her pallu.
Purvi: Mujhe mere Jeet ke pas jaane do..
Chandni: Tum jaaogi zaroor jaogi pr tab jab wo case wapis le lenge...
Purvi: Nhi lenge.. wo yeh case wapis nhi lenge aur mai jaanti hu wo apna wada zaroor nibhate hain.. dekhna wo case pura bhi karenge aur mujhe bhi lekr jayenge yahan se...
Girl: Chandni madam kyu ise sar pr chadaa rahi hain nadia amma ko pta chala toh jaanti hain na kya hoga.
Dhairya and his son Nihar is involved in woman trafficking. Nadia runs brothel and Chandni is Nihar's wife. When Nadia was 16 she was also sold to brothel by Dhairya and now she runs it.
Nadia: kya ho raha hain yaha?
Girl: Amma dekho na ye ladki nautanki kar rahi hain.
Nadia: Kyu re kya sach keh rahe hain ye log?
Chandni moved aside as Nadia sat beside her.
Purvi: Mujhe Jeet ke pass jana hai.
Nadia: Fir se bol?
and slapped her hard.
Nadia: Ae koyal...(she addressed to another girl)..samjha isko ki meri baat na manne ki kya anjaam hota hain.
Chandni: Nadia didi neyi hai sakhti se pesh mat aaiye.
Nadia: Sun chandni, sirf isiliye ki tu nihar ki biwi aur bade maalik ki bahu hai, tujhe kuch nhi kehti iska tu fayeda mat utha.
She said and went away. All of them left her and locked her in the room.
She bend down her face and started crying.
Purvi: J..jeet Jo huya mere sath accha huya, maine apki baat nehi mani, apko itna sunaya, aisa hi hona chahiye mere sath.
Abhijeet's House*
Abhi took out the shirt which had her footprints and hugged it tightly.
Abhi: Mujhe maaf krdo purvi.. please mujhe maaf krdo aur wapis aajao..
Then he start watching last night cctv footage he saw she come to do his bandage but before she could do, that monsters take her with them.
Abhi: Itna sunaya maine tumhe, kitna danta aur dil dukhaya, uske baad bhi tumhe sirf meri hi chinta thi...
Meanwhile in Chaturvedi Haveli*
Nihar: Baba kaam ho gya.. le aaya mai use ghaseette hue aur fenk diya nadia ki haveli mai..
Dhairya: Nadia se keh diya na ki koi use chhu bhi na paaye, aur na hi buri nazron se dekhe..
Nihar: Han baba..
Dhairya: Kyunki uss haveli ki har ladki pe pehla haq mera hai..
Nihar: Lekin baba.. agar wo abhijeet peeche hat gya toh hume usko jaane dena hoga..
Dhairya: Bss wo ek baar case se hatt jaaye aur sab saboot hamare hawale krde.. na hi hum fasenge aur na hi uski patni ko jaane denge.. pta hai na yahan aate toh 2 pairon pe hain pr jaate chaar kandhon pr hain..
On Otherside*
The locked room had no way to hope. An intoxicating smell of paan, cigar, and alcohol were in the air. There was only a small hole on the window through which she looked at the outside world. She was shocked to see that small girl with cheap men. Women calling them and those lustful eyes. She immediately looked away from the frightful sight.
She heard a sound at the door. Nadia along with few girls entered with clothes and jewelry.
Nadia: Yeh le aur jaldi se tayyar hoja..
Purvi: Main yeh sab nhi pehnungi..
Nadia: Dekh aaj bade maalik khud aarhe hain tujhe dekhne.. mujhe koi nakhre nhi chahiye warna baat manvana bhut ache se aata hai mujhe..
Purvi (yelled): kaha na mai yeh sab nhi pehnungi.
Two girls held her hand force fully.
Purvi: Chhodiye.. khud aurat hokr aap log aisa kaise kr sakti hain?
she cried. She tried to free herself but they were more in number. One girl force fully opened her saree and threw it away. She yelled but no one helped her. They made her dress like them.
Finally they left her after making her ready.
Nadia: Kuch thik nehi lag rahi.. are aise jayegi tu bade maalik ke samne? Yun maang mai sindoor dalkr?
Hearing this Purvi's eyes widened.
Nadia: Aree yaha jo rehete hain unhe ateet ko dho dalna parta hain, pocho ye sindoor.
Purvi (begged): Nhiiii...please aisa maat kijiye.
Those girls took a piece of cloth and rubbed her forehead forcefully. She cried and panted but they rubbed it off and went away. She sat on the floor immediately.
After a while there was another knock at the door.
Chandni: Purvi.. main Chandni..
whispered Chandani from other side of the door.
Chandni: Kuch dene aayi hun...
Purvi went to the door and she passed a small box from below the door.
Chandni: Sindoor laayi hu laga lo..
Purvi's eyes glimmered with joy. "Thank you didi" she whispered and applied the sindoor.
Purvi: aap kyun kr rhi hain meri help?
Chandni: Bss apne pati ke paapo ko thoda km krna chahati hu.. acha mai chalti hu, subhe aaungi tum bs apna khayal rakhna..
Later at night
At chaturvedi Haveli*
Abhi: Purviiii...
Guards stopped him but he was mad. He pushed them away with all his might and strodded in, shouting her name.
Dhairya: Aree abhijeet ji aaiye aaiye..
Abhi: Dhariya.. meri biwi kahan hai??
His eyes were as red as blood due to anger.
Nihar: biwi?? Yahan meri biwi chandni ke siva kisi ki biwi nhi hai..
Abhi (yell): Jhooothh... Purvi tum bahar aao.. ...
Dhairya: Ek kaam kro abhijeet babu.. jaao aur jaakr dhundh lo apni biwi ko puri Haveli main mil gayi toh hume bhi btana..
He sended two men with Abhi who had guns with them.
Abhi: Purviii.. aawaz do please..
he called her and searched for her the whole haveli but failed to find her. Dhairya whispered in Nihar's ears.
Dhairya: Isko pata nehi chalna chahiye ki wo ladki yaha nhi kothe mein hain, aj raat ko ja raha hu mein waha, usey apna banane.
And both laughed wickedly. Abhi now came in front of them.
Nihar: Dekha abhijeet ji nhi hai yahan..
Abhi: Mujhe bhut ache se pta hai ki meri purvi tum logo ke pass hi ha.. jaldi hi lekr jaunga main use..
Nihar: Dekhna kahi zyada der ho gaya to ghar le jaane ki layak hi na bache.
as soon as Nihar said that Abhi held his colar. All the men loaded their gun but Nihar gestured them to keep it down. Now he removed his hand.
Nihar: Haar maan jaao aur le jaao apni patni ko, simple...
Abhi: Main yeh chunauti jeetunga bhi aur apni patni ko bhi chhudaunga.. yeh wada hai mera..
At night*
Purvi, who had no idea what was written in her fate was sitting on her bed bending her head down and murmuring one name, "Jeet".
She heard a slow foot steps and looked up. An old man in in his 60s dressed in royal attire walked in with a wicked smile. He closed the door behinde him. Purvi's heart started ponding faster. She gulped and clutched the bedsheet. She was scared to the core, her soul was shaken, she had goosebumps.
Dhairya: Sahi kaha tha Nadia ne khoobsurat toh bhut hai..
He smirked and push her hard, making her lie on the bed. She tried to get up but he pushed her again. Tears rolled down her eyes as she was helpless.
She helplessly lied on the bed as dhairya almost jumped on her but she immediately pushed him aside and got up.
Flashback*
4 years ago.
Abhi: Dekho purvi aaj self defense ke baare mai btata hun..
Purvi: Abhi thodi hi na jaa rhi hu mai cid mai pehle clg admission lekr pdhayi puri krungi uske baad jaungi na..
Abhi: Zaroori nhi tum cid mai jaaogi toh hi yeh sikho.. roz ki zindagi main bhi yeh kaam aasakta hai.. aaj kal toh har ladki ko aana chahiye..
Purvi: Achaa..
Abhi: Han aur bhagwan ne har kisi ko apni aatmraksha ke liye power di hai.. jaise madhumakhi dank marti hai, gaye seeng maarti hai aur insan ko toh sabse bda hathiyar diya hai..
Purvi: Haath.. hai na??
Abhi: Nhi.. dimaag..
Purvi: Dimaag?
Abhi: Han dimaag sabse bada hathiya hota hai insaan ka.. maano hum kisi aisi situation mai fans gaye jahan hume hathiyar ki zaroort hai.. tb hum apna dimag chalakr kisi bhi aam si cheez ko apna weapon bana sakte hain..
He took out a pen from his pocket.
Abhi: Jaise iss pen se hum chot pahunch sakte hain..
She picked up a stone.
Purvi: Isse hum sar bhi fod sakte hain..
Abhi: Are wah bhut jaldi sikh rhi ho...
They giggled.
Flashback ends*
She looked around and saw a lantern burning. She picked it up and poured the oil on herself.
Purvi: Agar ek kadam bhi aage badhaya toh jala lungi khud ko samjhe...
Dhairya: Aee u..usse neeche rakho..
Purvi: Khabardar.. pas bhi aaye toh khud ke saath saath tumhare iss kothe ko bhi jala dungii yaad rakhna...
Dhairya: Ae Nadia.. saare idher aao dekho pagal ho gayi hai yeh..
Purvi: door... Bilkul door...
Dhairya opened the door and ran outside. Purvi now sat on the floor and broke down completely. She knew that now she will be punished but who cares, she saved herself.
Suddenly she covered her mouth and rushed into the bathroom and started vomiting. She now came out of the bathroom but again rushed inside to vomit. This happened several times that night.
Next Morning*
Nadia: kyu re ladki ek baar main tujhe baat samjh nhi aati? Tujhe pta hai bade maalik ko gussa dilaane ka kya anjam hoga? Ab yeh gussa yahan ki har ek ladki pe utrega.
Purvi sat quietly like a dead. Koyal shook her.
Koyal: Tu sun bhi rhi hai.
Nadia held her throat.
Nadia: Jab baat ki jaaye toh jawab diya kar. Aur ab tk tere pati ne case wapis nhi liya lagta hai tujhse pyaar nhi krta.
Purvi: mujhse pyaar krte hain isiliye case wapis nhi liya kyunki wo jaante hain mai unhe kabhi haarne nhi dungi.
Nadia: bade maalik ka order na hota toh tujhe bhi teri batmeeziyon ke liye baakiyon ki tarah maar maar ke sidha kar deti.
She said and went away with few girls but three little girls were still in her room. One was 5 years old and the other two was approximately 10-14.
Girl: Didi wo log aapse aise kyu baat kr rhe the??
Purvi: Tum log.. kitni chhoti ho aur yahan ho? Naam batao apna?
Girl: main nikku.. said the youngest one.
2nd girl: Main payal aur yeh vishali.
Vishali: Didi aap bhi yaha hmari tarha hi aye hai??
Purvi: Tumlog kaise aye?
Payal: Mujhe mere papa ne bech diya, mumma nhi hai meri aur koi pyar nehi karta tha, beti hu na.
Vaishali: Mujhe kidnap kiya gaya tha. Aur yeh nikku yeh toh yahin rehti hai kyunki iski maa yahin ki hai.
Purvi was stunned to here all these.
Nikku: aap kaise aye didi?, apko bhi apno ne bech diya kya? apko bhi pyar nehi karta koi?
Purvi: Pyaar? Huh.. mujhe is duniya mein sabse zyada pyar karte the wo, duniya ki saari khushiya mujhe dete the.
Vishali: fir aap yahan kaise??
Purvi: Chhen liya inn logo ne mujhe unse, zabardasti le aaye mujhe yahan. Nhi maani maine unki baat, galat samjha unhe.
She broke into tears.
Chandni: Purvi...
She looked towards the door and found chandni standing at the door with food. She entered and sat beside her.
Chandni: Kuch khaa lo purvi.
Purvi: Mujhe nhi khaana.
Purvi turned her head away.
Chandni: Purvi yun khaana peena chhodogi toh bimar pad jaogi.
Purvi smirked painfully.
Purvi: kya fayeda aise jeevan ka bhi jisme jaan hi na ho.
Purvi stood up but suddenly she felt dizzy. She held her head and collapsed on the floor. Vishali brought water and the sprinkled it on her face. Showly she opened her eyes.
Chandni: tum thek ho na??
Purvi: Pta nhi kya ho raha hai bhut chakkar aarhe hain aur kal bhut baar ulti bhi hui thi.
Hearing this Chandni's eyes widened.
Chandni: Kal raat se??
Purvi: Han..
Chandni: Mujhe kisi doctor ko bulana padega
She thought and rushed outside the room but bumped into Nadia and Nihar.
Nihar: kahan ja rhi ho tum??
Nadia: usko bhagne mai madat kri toh humse bura koi nhi hoga.
Chandni: nhi wo...wo...mein doctor ko bulane ja rahi thi.
Nadia: ab kya ho gya uss maharani ko..
Chandni: Wo.. shayad purvi maa banne wali hai..
Nadia: Kya.?? Kya kaha??
Nihar: ae chandni tune usko bataya?
Chandni: Ji abhi nhi..
Nihar: Aur batana bhi mt.
Chandni (shocked): Kyuu??
Nadia: aree o koyal.. aaj se khaana pani band kr uska..
Chandni: aap log pagal hain? Aisa mt kro are bhagwan se daro. Aapki dushmani abhijeet se hai uski saza aap uss masum ladki aur uske hone wale bacche ko de rahe hain jo iss duniya mai aya tk nhi hai..
Nihar: Zaada gyaan mat de hame samjhi.
Nadia: chandni, iss kothe mai sirf najayaz aulaad palti hai jayaz nhi...
She gave a wicked smile, scaring Chandni more about her future intentions. Nadia and nihar went from there.
Chandni: nhi mai yeh nhi hone dungi, mujhe bhut ache se pta hai bacche ko khone ka dard. Mujhe kuch krna hoga. Han mai purvi ko yahan se niklne mai madat nhi kr skti pr mai inspector abhijeet ko yahan zaroor laa sakti hu..
Chandni called Nikku.
Chandni: Nikku tum ek achi bacchi ho na sab baat maanti ho. Mera ek kaam kroge? Kitchen mai jaakr koi shararat kro pleasee...
Nikku: sab mujhe shararat krne se mnaa krte hain aur aap toh ulta keh rhi ho...
Chandni: Nikku jitna kaha hai utna karo. Taaki sabka dhyan bhatke aur wo jo neyi didi aayi hai na tb tk mai unke liye kuch khaane ko lekr jaungi.
Chandni somehow sneaked some fruits and a half cup of warm milk for Purvi.
Chandni: Purvi.. chalo kuch khaa lo..
Purvi: Mujhe nhi khaana didi..
Chandni: Purvi zidd mt kro.. dekho tum mujhe apni didi maanti ho na.?
Purvi: Han pr mera sach mai mann nhi..
Chandni: Tumhe meri kassam...
She said and made her drink the milk.
Purvi: jaante ho didi, mere Jeet bhi aise hi...
She couldn't complete the sentence and broke into tears.
Chandni: Purvi.. purvi chup ho jao. Tum itna rougi toh bura asar padega uspe... M.. me..mera matlab hai ki tumpr bura asar pdega..
Purvi: dii aap mujhse kuch chupa rhi hain??
Chandni: N..nhi aisa kuch nhi hai..
Purvi: ohh..
Chandni: Pta hai purvi.. jab rishab ne pehli baar...
Purvi: Kon Rishab??
Chandni: Mera beta.. jo mujhe chhodkr chala gya.. apne baap ke bure karmo ki wajah se mera beta kuch mahino mai hi hume chhodkr chala gya...
Purvi: Yeh toh bura hua...
Chandni: hmm.. han toh kya keh rhi thi mai.. maa banna ek bhut khaas ehsaas hota hai. Pati patni ke pyaar ki nishani hota hai yeh.. jab ek nanhi si jaan ek aurat mai palti hai.. jab ek maa ke shareer mai uske dil ki dhadkan sunai deti hai, jab hum hanste hai wo hansta hai jab hum sote hain tab wo bhi sota hai.. fir chhote chhote haath pair bante hain...
Purvi: Pr dii aap yeh sab mujhe kyu btaa rhi ho??
Chandni: Kyunki.. kyunki tum maa banne wali ho purvi..
Hearing this Purvi went numb. Only her lips made a sublte movement but no voice came out. She looked at herself and placed her both hand gently on her stomach. She closed her eyes and tears rolled down her cheek. Her tired and exhausted face shone brightly. "Humara baccha" she whispered.
But the very next moment she again broke down into tears holding her stomach.
Purvi (cried): Jeeeeeett..
"Wah! " entered Nihar clapping sarcastically and pulled Chandni out of the bed.
Nihar: Kaha tha na muh mat kholna.
Now he approached Purvi.
Purvi: Mere bacche ki taraf ankh uthake bhi mat dekhna, jaan le lungi mein, pass maat ao.
Chandni tried to stop him but he pushed her away and grabbed Purvi's hand and pulled her out of the bed.
Nihar: tere pati ko kabhi pata chalne denge kya hum ki tu kaha hain, aisi jagah chupayunga tera pati tujhe 7 janom tk nhi dhundh payega...
He laughed and dragged her outside. Chandni followed them.
Purvi: Chhodo..
She jerked off his hand and picked up a vase.
Purvi: pass bhi mt aana warna jaan.. lelungi mai tumhari..
Nihad was ofcourse stronger and gripped her hand tightly and slapped her hard. All were watching them in horror.
Purvi: Jeeeet..
She yelled but he pulled her across the whole hall and now down a dark narrow broken staircase and then into a small room. He pushed her in and She fell down on the floor but immediately held her stomach, to protect her unborn child. He locked the door from outside. A room which had no light, no windows, no facilities only four walls. A room that was so deep that even if police ever raid the place, or Abhijeet searches for it, they wont be able to find it.
Nihar: Yaha jitni marzi chilla lena, awaz bahar nehi jaati aur kisiko is kamre k baare mein pata nehi to maa aur baccha mazze karna thik hain.
She touched her stomach.
Purvi: tum chinta maat karo, mumma tumko kuch nehi hone degi aur papa bhi jaldi a jayenge hume lene dekhna.
Nihar now came to the main hall.
Nihar: kisine bhi uski madat karne ki koshish ki to jaan chale jaygi, ab mein dekhu is bacche ko kaise bachati hain.
Chandni: Aap ye bhul rahe hain kaid mei janm ya to Durga (yog maya) leti hain ya to shree Krishan.
On Otherside*
Abhi: Bhai sahab aapne iss ladki ko kahin dekha hai?
Man: Nhi..
Abhi: Dhyan se dekhiye na kahin toh dekha hoga..
Man: Are kahan na nhi dekha hai.. ajeeb pagal ho..
Abhi: Purvi...
He continued to call her name in middle of the road. Suddenly something hit on his head hard. He saw a paper wrapped in a stone he picked up and read the paper.
The letter and photo of hers fell from his hand. A sudden ghust of fear crept into him. His sole shivered out of fear reading that one word.
Abhi entered the red light area. On seeing such a hell residing on earth, he froze in fear.
"Oye idhar aaa" a girl called him bitting her lips. He ignored her but she held his hand.
Girl: Nazre kaiko chura rahe ho, rokhra do aur ayashi lo.
She said and touched him, making him uncomfortable. He pushed the woman away. She frowned and went away.
Girl: Ajeeb insaan hai..
Abhi: Ye kaisi nark mein a gyi tum purvi.
He was about to enter the main palace but the guards stopped him.
Abhi: Purviiiii..
He shouted and pushed the guards away. They held his hands but he, with all hiss might pushed them away and bang!!! Opened the door.
These chaos drove everybody's attention towards him.
Chandni (smile): Aaj ek pati ka pagalpan aur pita ka krodh dekhenge yeh log...
Hearing his voice Purvi banged the door.
Purvi: darwaza kholo!
Abhi: Purvii.. purvi kahan ho tum?
Nadia: Aree inspector sahab aaiye aaiye...
She said and sat in front of him like a queen.
Nihar: Tujhe kya hai re?? Ek case hi toh wapis lena hai. Lele aur bachakr leja apni patni ko...
Abhi looked at the small girls.
Abhi: Inn bacchiyon ke liye ladd raha hu mai.. aur ladunga.. apni purvi ko bhi yahan se chhudaunga..
Nihar (laughed): Kon Purvi? Ooohh meri rakhel??
Abhi (yell): Nihaar zaban sambhal krrr..
Purvi: Jeet..
She yelled and banged the door but nobody could hear her.
Nadia: Aree sir ji yeh na kotha hai yahan jo aata hai hamesha ke liye kaid ho jaata hai..
Abhi: Main apni patni ko chhudakr hi rahunga..
His eyes had turned red. He was burning, a fire of rage, aggression was visible in his eyes along with pain of seperation.
All guards approached him and started hitting him. He fought with them with all his might. then the final blow of stick on his head. He held his head. It was Dhairya.
He collapsed on the ground.
Meanwhile Purvi started feeling dizzy again and collapsed on the floor. "Jeet" she murmured before closing her eyes. Tears dropped from her closed eyes.
Dhairya leaned towards him.
Dhairya: waise to hum tujhe goli se bhi thok sakte the par maarne se pehele ek baat bata du tujhe, teri patni ko to hum marne nehi denge aur tere bacche ko jeene nehi denge.
As soon as she heard the word, "baccha" he forced his eyes open and murmured, "Purvi", then and there Dhairya he stabbed a knife in his abdomen.
All went quiet and horrified by the incident. They laughed evil laughter.
After some hours*
They threw the blood filled watch towards her.
Nadia: Are re bacche k saar se to pita ka saya hi chhin gaya..
Nadia teased a subconscious Purvi She, with her trembling hands picked up the watch and rubbed it gently with her pallu.
Purvi: Kuch nhi hua hai unhe.. pura yakeen hai mujhe.. wo aayenge bhi aur hum dono ko yahan se lekr bhi jayenge.. tum jaise hazaron ne aisi nakaam koshishen ki hain..
She said softly ignoring those wicked demons.
Nihar: Lagta hai yeh pagal ho gayi hai apne pati ki maut ki khabar sunkar.. abhi bhi khayali pulao bana rahi hai.. chal nadia sadne de ise yahin..
He said and they went away. She now held the watch near her stomach.
Purvi (smile): tumhare daddy ka hai yeh.
On Otherside*
He faintly opened his eyes and murmured her name..
Abhi: P..pur...viii..
Girl: Are aram se inspector sahab..
Said a girl and made him sit comfortably on the the bed. He looked closely, she was the same girl who called him instead of money when he first came here. He moved away from her a little.
Girl: Maana hum galat kaam krte hain lekin insaan bure nhi hain hume. Touch ho sakte hai aap humse
She said with a smile. Abhi faintly recalled the moment when he pushed her away..
Girl: Main Neha..
2nd girl: Shukar hain hosh aagya aapko. unlogo ne manori beach pe fenk diya tha, hum hi le aaye aapko yahan.
He looked around and found many girls of there.
Abhi: Aap log kyu madat kar rahe hain meri?
He asked in a faintly audible voice.
Voice: Kyunki aap inn logo ke liye ladd rhe hain..
A lady entered.
Lady: Main chandni Nihar ki patni.. Pr ek insaan pehle..
A little girl of 4-5 years of age said..
Girl: Aap Jeet ho na??
Hearing this word, 'Jeet' he got hyper and tried to get out of the bed immediately.
Chandni: Mat uthiye lete rahiye...
Abhi: Kya yeh sach hai ki Purvi... He almost choked.
Chandni: Han aap papa banne wale hain.
Chandni smiled at him and handed him a glass of water.
A sudden smile crept into his lips, his eyes shone brightly with tears of joy, "Papa banne wala hu" he whispered to himself. Tears rolled down his eyes but soon his smile transformed into utmost pain.
Neha: Chandni madam ne hi toh khayal rakha hai aapki purvi ka.
Abhi folded his hands. He almost cried.
Abhi: apka jitna abhar vayakt kru kam hai. Bss ek ehsaan aur kr dijiye purvi kahan hai yeh bata dijiye...
Chandni: apke aane se pehele wo log Purvi ko kahi aur le gye, Haveli mein hi par kaha kisiko pata nehi.
Payal: han didi bohot ziddi hain, kisi ki baat nahi manti thi, kabhi aag laga deti thi to kabhi vase uthake maar deti thi isiliye saza mila hain unko, sab ye kehrahe the.
Hearing this Abhi closed his eyes in rage and closed his fist so tightly and every vein on his arms were evident now. How could a person be so heartless to mentally torture a woman that too pregnant.
Neha: Yeh dekhiye...said Neha pointing towards nikku,
Neha: Uss kothe mai jo bacche janam lete hain wo bade hokar humme se ek ban jate hain, ye meri beti hai aur kya koi maa aisa chahegi ki uski beti aisi jaghe mai rahe aur yeh kaam kre...
Abhi: Tumne mujhse kaha tha na mein tumhe paisa dunga aur tum mujhe ayashi, ab suno tum mujhe meri purvi doge aur mein tum logo ko azadi..ab chahe meri jaan hi kyu na chale jaye, jin logo ne meri patni ko rulaya, mere bacche ko takleef di unhe mein nahi chodunga.
Chandni: Unn logo ki sabse badi galti yeh thi ki unn logo ne inhe yeh btaa diya ki yeh pita banne wale hain... Ab ek pita ka gussa jalayega inn logo ki lanka ko..
On Otherside*
Purvi held her stomach.
Purvi: Galat wakt pe a gye tum, par papa ayenge toh, humey yaha se le jayenge dekhna, kuch nahi hone denge. Jante ho ek bhaiya bhi hain tumhare, Dhruv, aur dadu bhi hain, daya chachu, shreya chachi, tasha bua sab hain.. jaldi se papa aajayen tumhare fir Papa, mumma aur baby sab sath mein rahenge.
She now started singing a lullaby and patted her stomach softly. Even in the dark room, her unborn child was giving her much positivity to survive.
On the other hand Abhi was dead from inside but the news of him being a father was keeping him alive. In the darkest of times, his unborn child was helping him to survive.The little life was generating a positive energy to both of them, showing them a silver linning.
Abhi remembered an incident when once he got injured and Acp sir was panicking too much. When he said that there was nothing to panick about, it is just a small injury Acp sir smiled at him and had said to him.
Acp: Jab apni santan ko ek kharoch tak lagti hai na to wo dard yaha is dil mein jake chubhta hain, tum jab khud pita banoge tab samjh aayega..
Today Abhi's heart was bleeding. Agony, pain all these words are less to explain his state. He wished to go back to the time when he agreed to let Purvi accompany him, to not hurt her. Everytime its his problem but Purvi has to suffer but this time his wife and unborn child, both were suffering.
At Night*
Purvi woke up crying in pain. She held her stomach due to severe pain. When the embroyo develops in the womb, the uterus expands, causing severe cramps.
She held her stomach and cried continuously and collapsed on the ground. She lied on the floor and cried the whole night but nobody came to her rescue.
With every tear of hers, ran agony in Abhi's blood. Abhijeet felt a certain invisible pain in his soul the whole night. His conscience immediately made him understood that Purvi might be going through a lot of pain and torture but he was helpless.
That son and father duo enjoyed girls dancing for them, Nadia enjoyed her money but mostly they enjoyed her screams. Dhairya ordered the musicians to increase the volume in order to prevent her voice from entering the hall.
She held her stomach closed her eyes tightly and screamed. Unable to bear the pain of cramps any more she became unconscious.
On other side*
Abhi comes out of washroom, the girls shocked to see him.
Neha: Are wah Abhijeet babu aap toh bilkul pehchan mai nhi aarhe hain..
He looked in the mirror and tying the bandara around his head.
Abhi: Ab kya??
Chandni: Subhe kuch log ladkiyon ko khareedne aarhe hain aap bhi un mai se ek grahak bankr aaiyega.
Neha: Mai aur baaki ladkiyan unka dhyan bhatkayengi aur aap Purvi ko dhundh lena..
Abhi: Okk..
Neha: Pr wo log kuch din se aap pe itna dabav kyu daal rahe hain?
Abhi: Parso case ki sunvahi hai aur mere pas saare saboot hai..
Aakriti: Inspector sahab aap hamare liye yeh sab kr toh rhe hain pr aapko pta hai na yeh log kitne khatarnak hain. Mujhe darr lagg raha hai agar yeh bach gaye toh hum logo ki kya haalt krenge? Aur aapko...
Abhi: Chinta mat kro... Mai puri koshish krunga ki yeh dono baap bete bahar na aasake.. pr agar aisa hota bhi hai toh mai usse pehle hi tum logo ko india ke bahar bhej dunga...chahe mujhe khud ke paise lagane pade ya khud ki jaan...pr tum logon ko kuch nhi hone dunga..
Everyone smiled and feel relaxed after hearing his words.
Neha: Hum log chalte hain subhe hone wali hain nadia dii ko pta chala ki hum log gayab hain toh hungama ho jayega..
Next Morning*
Purvi became unconscious after bearing a lot of pain. When she woke up, she sat up, leaning on the wall and wrapped her hand on her stomach. She cried looking at her stomach.
Purvi: Jab tk papa nhi aajaate, tb tk kuch nhi hone degi tumhe mumma.. promise..
Abhi entered the hall in disguise, "Nadia ji" he said in a wierd way and cackled.
He opened 2 bags full of money.
Abhi: iske badle sabse khoobsurat ladki mangta hain hume.
Nadia's eyes were now filled with greed.
Nadia: Itne paise...
Abhi: Aur bhi deti agar tum humko sabse khoobsurat ladki deta idher ka...
Nadia: a..haa aaiye tashreef farmaiye.. ladkiyan abhi taiyaar ho rhi hain thoda samay dijiyega unhe...
Abhi: thodi kyun tum pura din lelo pr hum ladki liye bina yahan se nhi jaati...
Nadia: Shukriya.. aaiye bethiye na..
He sat on the royal couches along with other men and watched the girls dance . Men threw money at them while they danced. Abhi's eyes were continuously searching for his pregnant wife.
Abhi: Nadia ji waise tum bhi kaafi khoobsurat hoti.. dil toh krti tumko hi le jaane ki..
Nadia (blush): kya aap bhi.. mujhe le jayenge toh is haveli ka kya hoga?
Abhi: Waise tumhari umar 20 hoti ya 25?
Nadia: kya baat kr rhe hain pachas se thodi si zaada hai..
Abhi: Haa!! kya baat krti? 25 se 1 din upr nhi lagti.. achi achi ladki tumhare aage pani kum lagti mere kuu..
Abhi starts flirting to win her trust. Nadia was continuously blushing that her cheeks started hurting, so she made an excuse and went away from there
The other girls were searching each and every room but nobody found Purvi. Neha gestured him from balcony that they couldn't find her.
Suddenly Nikku noticed Dhairya entering a narrow corridor and she informed this to Abhi. As per plan Chandni pulled the rope out if the great jhoomar causing it to fall and break. The great jhoomar broke into pieces.Soon a chaos broke out, people started running here and there.
Aakriti: Sir nikku keh rhi hai usne bade maalik ko kahi jaate dekha hai.
Abhi: Thek hai tabh tak tum log bhago yaha se.
Abhi started helping them to elope in midst of chaos.
On the other hand*
Dhairya entered the room where Purvi was held captive. Seeing him enter scared Purvi to the core. Leaned towards her. She couldn't bear the smell of paan, alcohol and cigar mixed together.
Dhairya: Suna hain tu maa banne wali hai.
Purvi moved a bit away but he held her feet and dragged her towards himself.
Dhairya: Are dar mt itna bhi bura nhi hu mai..
He said and touched her stomach. She immediately jerked his hands off.
Dhairya: Are bacche ko mehsoos kr raha hu., Tu chinta mat kr, kuch nhi karunga..
He again touched her stomach making her hell uncomfortable.
Purvi: Tujh jaise logo ko mai apne bacche ko haath lagane nhi dungi..
He pushed her down and made her lie on the floor. She tried to get up but he pinned her to the floor.
While she was struggling, Nihar along with three more men entered.
Nihar: Miliye inse Purvi ji..
Dhairya leaned his head to her stomach while she lied on the floor..
Dhairya: sab maaze karenge aj teri maa k sath.
Nihar held an injection in his hand.
Nihar: Tere bache ko toh marna hi hoga..
She cried out and sobbed. Dhairya pinned her to the floor and intentionally applied pressure on her stomach. She screamed in pain, such intense was the scream that it echoed whole haveli..
On the other hand*
Abhi successfully made most of the girls elope only few were left. Koyal injured Nadia by hitting her head. Suddenly Purvi's intense scream echoed the hall.
Abhi stopped whatever he was doing. He froze like a dead hearing her scream, almost petrified. Horror was visible in his eyes.
Koyal: Ye...yeh toh Purvi ki aawaz hai.. niche se aarhi hai..
Abhi: M.muj.. mujhe purvi ke pas jaana hoga..
Chandni: Han aap jaiye hum yahan sambhal lenge..
Abhi immediately rushed to the source of sound. At the entrace he was stopped by two guards. Abhi had gone mad by now. He again heard her scream. Never anyone has seen Abhi in such a state. He held one guard by neck and choked him. That guard became breathless.
The other guard trued to attack him but he immediately turned back and punched that guard on his face. He had become so aggressive that he kept on punching unless his face started bleeding.
Meanwhile In the room*
Purvi was making vigorous feet movement so one man held her feet tightly to prevent her making any movement. Another man pressed her mouth shut.
She couldn't move a inch now. She lied on the floor. One held her hands, other her feet another her mouth, captivating her in their firm hold, to apply the injection forcefully. They were determine to apply the injection and kill the featus. That old Dhairya tried to force himself on her. Her eyes remained wide opene and tears rolled down her eyes. She could neither shout in pain nor make any movement.
When Dhairya tried to force himself on her, and placed his hand on her stomach applying a pressure intentionally, her body rise a inch from the ground in an arch but again fell on the ground in pain.
Nihar pressed the needle to her skin but before he could inject it something happened...
She was struggling but suddenly her movement stopped, she stopped struggling and closed her eyes partially. Her body surrendered to the pain. Those men looked at each other.
Man 1: Marr toh nhi gayi na??
Man 2: Maalik lagta hai bacche ko marne ke chakkr mai humne isko hi mar daala..
They got worried now...
Dhairya (yelled): tum itne laparwa kaise hi sakte ho, itne zor se muh dabane ki kya zaroorat thi.
Nihar: Accha ab mein ghunhegar, apka plan tha ye sab.
On the other hand Abhi was walking through the lane when suddenly his sixth sense worked. He turned back and immediately place a knife at Nadia's neck when she tried to attack him.
Abhi: Aaj pagal ho gaya hu mein, mujhe is kadar majboor maat karo ki mein kuch galat kar baithu, Purvi kaha hain batao...
Nadia got scared: Batati hu... Batati hu..
She leaded him to her room but when he banged the door open, both were shocked by the sight. All four men lied on the floor injured but Purvi wasn't there. Abhi walked in all shocked but then suddenly he chuckled with moist eyes.
Abhi (mummered): My soon to be cid officer...
Flashback*
They got worried now...
Dhairya (yelled): tum itne laparwa kaise hi sakte ho, itne zor se muh dabane ki kya zaroorat thi.
Nihar: Accha ab mein ghunhegar, apka plan tha ye sab.
Bang!!
Dhairya held his head and fell on ground. Purvi stood like a fearless woman behind him, she took out the knife from Dhairya's pocket. When the other two men tried to stop her, she injured them.
Nihar held her hand forcefully and snatched away the knife. She picked up the injection and stabbed it in his arms. He fell down immediately. Now she leaned towards him...
She picked Up Abhi's watch and went outside.
Flashback ends*
Abhi pushed Nadia into the room with these injured men and locked the door from outside.
In the hall, the jhoomar had fallen causing shot circuit. Fire broke out in the haveli. Girls waiting for Abhivi became tensed now..
Chandni: aag lag gyi par dono abhi tak bahar nhi aye.
All the girls started praying God. There was fire everywhere. The white haveli had already turned golden due to refraction of flames on the mirrors.
Purvi reached the main hall but was surprised to see a burning haveli. She now started feeling weak and dizzy. She held her hand and tried to escape the fire but failed...
Abhi: Purviiiii..
Abhi called her name again and again. There were dark smoke all over the hall. Purvi was unable to breath properly and she knew how harmful it will be for her child if she inhales it. She covered her nose with her pallu and started coughing. She had no idea that Abhi had come. She could not wait more and was determined to save her child at any cost.
Abhi did not care that he has put a whole haveli on fire, locked people inside. All he could think of was his wife and child.
Purvi suddenly felt dizzy and was about to fall but was held by firm protective hands.
Yes, it was Abhijeet who spotted her struggling to escape the fire. Without wasting much time, he wrapped his coat around her ,picked her up in his arms and managed to escaped the. He got severe burns in his arm but he was least concerned about himself.
Chandni and other girls who were waiting outside, were relieved to see them comming.
Abhi came outside and made her lie on the floor itself. All got tensed seeing her in such a condition.
Abhi: Purvi.. purvi aankhe kholo please...
He said rubbing her hands.
Chandni: Yeh aankhe kyu nhi khol rhi hai...
Koyal: Bacha toh thek hoga na??
Abhi: Mere liye purvi ki jaan sabse pehle hai fir koi aur...
He sprinkled water on her face but she remained the same.
Abhi noticed that her other hand were closed. He opened her palm and found his watch. She held his watch tightly.
He placed her head on his lap. Just then cid team also arrived.
Time Skip*
Acp: Abhijeet khayal rakho apna bhi aur purvi ka bhi...
Daya: Zaroort pade toh hume bula lena..
Abhi: Hmm..
Acp: Chinta mat kro hum court mai yeh sabit kr denge ki achank aag lagi thi jis wajah se sab mare gaye... Ladkiyon ka aur chandni ka naam nhi aane denge..
Abhi: Okk sir...
And they left...
Doctor: Thank god featus wasn't that developed, it was still in embryonic stage isiliye maa aur bacche ko kuch nehi huya par you will have to be more careful now Mr. Abhijeet., dawai maine likh di hain time se dete rahiye ga, n abhi to hosh nehi hain but chinta ki koi baat nehi, a jayga.
Abhi: Thankyou doctor..
She smile and left, Abhi entered her room where she was lying unconscious on the bed. He sat beside her, held her hand, and looked at her innocent face. All he could remember was his harsh words for her, how he was about to raise his hands on her, her painful screams in Haveli. He kissed her forehead gently.
She slowly opened her eyes and found him in front of her. That is what she wished for all these days. She sat down and looked at him blankly. Both had no words to express their feelings. She looked at him for a moment and suddenly hugged him tightly, placing her head on his chest and broke into tears. He couldn't control himself anymore and started crying too.
They cried for a long time. He gently touched her head and patted her. She clutched his shirt tightly. He could feel his shirt becoming wet due to her tears.
Abhi: I'm so sorry.. sab meri wajah se hua hai, kitna kuch sehna pada tumhe meri wajah se...
She nodded her head in no, while they remained in the same position. Suddenly Purvi recalled something and parted away.
Purvi: Je..Jeet hamara baccha.. wo thek hai na?? Kuch hua toh nhi usko??
Abhi saw a visible terror in her eyes, terror of loosing the child. He nodded his head in no.
She now realized that he had bandage on his head.
Purvi: Aapko toh chot lagi hai.. rukiye mai abhi dawayi lekr aati hu..
She panicked and was about to get up but Abhi made her sit again.
Abhi: Main bilkul thek hun tum betho..
Now he looked towards her stomach.
Abhi: Main.. chhu sakta hun..??
She smiled and held his hand and placed his hand on her stomach. His hands were trembling out of nervousness. The moment he touched hi, it was a different sensation, most beautiful feeling he has ever felt as if he was touching his most precious thing. He closed his eyes for sometime, to feel his child properly.
Purvi: Aap khush toh hain na?
He didn't reply to her question. He pulled her towards him and embraced her with love.
Abhi: Thankyou so much mujhe itni khushi dene ke liye...ab yeh batao tisrii khushi kb de rhi ho?
Purvi (blushed): 1 toh ho jaane dijiye.. teesre bacche ka baad mai sochenge..
He slapped her head lightly.
Abhi: Mai teesre bache ki baat nhi kr raha...
Purvi: Toh fir konsi teesri khushi dungi mai aapko??
Abhi: Pehli khushi tumhe paana hai, dusri yeh aur teesri tumhe kamayab dekhna...
Purvi: Ohh..
Abhi: Kabse join kr rhi ho cid?
Purvi: Ek saal rukk jaate hain na.. baby ho jaaye uske baad krungi..
Abhi: Okk.. chalo ab so jao kaafi time ho gya hai..
Purvi: Good night..
After a few months she gave birth to a beautiful baby girl. Abhi gave his old house to those girls and helped them get jobs, and enrolled those little girls in school.
After 1 year*
Cid bureau*
Everyone was working when they saw a new officer entering.
Acp: Welcome to Cid Mumbai.
She: Thankyou sir.
ACP signals her to go to Abhi. She went and stood in front of him and saluted him.
" Inspector Purvi reporting on duty sir"
He smiles with moist eyes. Everyone is happy but Abhi is feeling very proud and happy to see his wife as a CID officer.
