15 years later
The atmosphere in the Gill Mansion was tense..
Inder Gill had just been brought back home from the hospital
15 days ago he had faced a massive cardiac arrest..
He was saved by Gods grace but his condition was very critical
The doctors had saved him this time but they also made the revelation that this might be the last time he has survived.
His heart is becoming old and weak.. he might not have a lot of time left with him.
-----------------------------------
The entire Gill Family including Maya Khurana were summoned by Inder Gill to his room.
Everyone were present but with confused faces.
No one knew why was this sudden "meet" was called for.
Kalyani Gill was sitting next to her husband.. always in his support
Shashi Gill was the one to break the silence
Shashi: aapne hum sabko yaha kyu bulaya hai 1 sath? Kya baat hai?
Inder Gill looked at him in a very calm expression.. he then looked at his wife.. she nodded her head in approval..
Inder: tum sab jaante ho ke mere paas samay ab zyada nahi hai..
But he was cut in between by his daughter
Maya: nahi papa.. please aap aisa mat boliye.. aapko hum sabki umar lagegi.. aap kahi nahi jaayenge hume chodke
Saying she started sobbing..
Kalyani: pehke inki baat puri hone do.. bechme koi nahi bolega tabhi tak..
Kalyani Gill was the iron lady of the house.. when her husband was working day and night for their better future.. she handled the house and the children
She was the backbone of Inder Gill then and she shall be it forever
Inder: toh jab mere paas samay nahi hai zyada.. mai apni bachi zindagi mere pure pariwar ke sath bitana chahta hu.. shanti se
Every family member understood what he meant by Maya who was in her crying zone spoke without realizing
Maya: pura pariwar yahi toh hai.. sab satme hi rahenge..
Kalyani Gill gave her a sharp look and spoke
Kalyani: meri Sana nahi hai yaha.. uske bina mera pariwar adhura hai.. tum usse bhool gayi hogi.. mai nahi bhuli
Listening to her name Maya Khurana lost her grip on her tears and scowled
Maya: woh ladki yaha nahi ayegi..
But Kalyani Gill was not the one to back off
Kalyani: woh mera aur mere pati ka failsa hoga.. 15 saal pehle humari gairmohjudgi mai 1 faisla liya gaya tha.. jisko aaj tak tum mai se koi sahi sabit nahi kar paya..
Iss baar mai woh galti nahi karungi.. meri bachi wapas iss ghar mai ayegi
She roared... like a wounded lioness..
Who was craving for her grand daughter
Everyone looked at eachother..
The entire situation of the past came in front of them like a movie..
What happened.. how they reacted.. what decisions were taken..
Everyone only had 1 doubt in their minds
"How will they face her?"
Vikram: par papa..
He wanted to try one last time and convince him
Because this time he will not be able to make himself strong enough to send his princess away from himself
Inder: meri aakhri icha hai yeh
This statement of Inder Gill knocked out the air from all the members of the Gill family
Only Roma was happy.. finally she will be able to meet her gudiya
Roma: Vihaan.. usse phone karo.. wapas leke aao.. please
Vihaan who had happy tears nodded frantically and left the room to bring back his best friend.
Varun and Rudra left behind him but stopped at her room.
From the past 15 years they stand in front of her room.. but none of them have ever had the courage to go inside
Because the last time they entered the room they had seen their Buaji lying unconscious on the floor in the pool of her own blood .. because she was stabbed by their sister
In fact none of them had the courage to go to her room..
They knew once they go inside they will fall so weak that they will rush and get her back.
Rudra: aaj bhi himmat nahi ho rahi na bhai?
Varun: kehne ko mai Don hu.. Don of Punjab.. par aaj bhi mera dil mujhe maaf nahi kar raha.. meri bachi ko usse door karne..
Humne sahi decision toh lia tha na Rudy?
Before Rudra could answer their conversation was interrupted
Vihaan: Iska jawab decision lene se pehle sochna chahiye tha bhai.. it is too late now.
Listening to this both Rudra and Varun turned towards him
Their hearts started beating faster looking at a broken Vihaan
Varun was 1st one to reach him and ask
Varun: what do you mean it is late now? Kaha hai meri bachi?
Vihaan kept shedding silent tears.. unable to answer
Rudra: speak up Vihaan.. where is she?
Vihaan: I dont know.. we dont know where she is
Varun: what do you mean? Call the school.. you know what wait.. obviously woh bhaav kha rahi hogi.. tantrums show kar rahi hogi.. haq hai uska.. you know what phone chod.. mai khud jaakar launga usse wapas..
Rudra: mai bhi chalta hu..
They turned and started going towards the door but were stopped by Vihaan
Vihaan: koi fayda nahi.. mai call kar chuka hu school mai.. she is not there
Listening to this they stopped in their tracks and turned around
Before they could speak anything Vikram and Shashi came there
Shashi: bolna kya chahte ho Vihaan?
Vihaan: mai yeh keh raha hoon ke Sana waha nahi hai.. infact woh school mai Shehnaaz Gill naam ki student na abhi hai aur na kabhi thi..
Woh kaha hai hume nahi pata papa.. hume nahi pata humari princess kaha hai..
Saying he fell on his knees and broke down.
Vikram Gill took 2 steps back with the shock..
Deepali and Roma Gill who had just reached there could not take it..
Roma the mother was not able to handle and she lost consciousness in the arms of Deepali
Shashi: Bhabhiiii.. oh god.. Rudra call the doctor now!!!
Rudra was quick enough to go and lift his badimummy in his arms...
He went and kept her on her bed... and Deepali till then called their family doctor
------------------------------------
Here outside Vikram and Varun Gill had not moved from their place
Their mind could not process what their ears heard
Vikram: how is it possible Varun? Kaha hai meri bachi?
Varun: mai dhundhunga papa usse.. I promise..aap please mummy ke paas jaao.. she will need you when she wakes up..
Vikram nodded and left to his wife..
Here Varun called his best man..
On call
Varun: Neel
Neel: boss
Varun: find my sister
Neel was surprised listening to this.. from the past 15 years no one had taken her name and today he has been asked to find her
Neel: are you sure sir?
Varun: yes.. please find her
He was trying to stay strong but his helpless self was over powering his facade.
Neel: on it
Saying he disconnected the call
Varun: please princess.. please be safe my baby.. bhaiya is coming to get you.. this time I promise mai sab theek kar dunga.. please god please meri bachi ko safe rakhna.
Saying this a traitorous tear fell from his eyes
Varun Gill.. the king of Punjab.. before him the entire state bows down..could not control his emotions when it came to his sister
------------------------------------
In Maya's room
Maya: no no no... woh ladki wapas nahi aa sakti..
Badi mushkil se maine usko yaha se nikala tha..
Mujhe kuch karna hoga.. agar yeh log usse laane gaye toh sari sachaai pata lag jayegi unhe..
15 saal tak jo hakeekat ko mai chupakar baithi hu woh bahar aa jayegi.
Mai aisa nahi hone dey sakti... mujhe kuch karna hoga... I need to make sure ke inhe woh kabhi mile hi nahi...
