Doctor's cabin
It was the first time that Raghav was going to look how his baby looks like. He couldn't wait to hear him calling him appa.
Raghav : hum hmara baby ko na classical dance sikhayenge....wo kitna pretty lgega.... I can't wait... Pallavi ek kaam kro... Hum baby ko direct nikaal lete hai... Mere se 8 month wait nhi hoyega.
The other expecting parents sitting in the waiting room smiled at the enthusiasm af the new dad to be in town the Raghav Rao.
Pallavi : Raghav... Pagal ho gye ho
Kya khe jaa rhe ho... Mera dimaag mt kharab krne ka
The nurse called for the next patient and they went inside.
Doctor : how are you doing Mrs. Rao
Pallavi : perfectly fine Doctor.
Raghav: no doctor... Ye bhut hyper hota hai... Aur iska mood swings kisi din mera jaan lekr hi maanega
Raat ke 3 bje isko ajib ajib cravings hota hai
Pallavi : Raghavvvv... Muh bnd kro
She was practically throwing daggers from her eyes.
Doctor chuckled at their antiques. It was nothing new for her. She has been handling such patients before.
Doctor : come.... Aap yha lait jaaiye
Doctor moved her uppers to top and started moving the ultrasound machine on her belly.
Raghav started giggling
Doctor: kya hua Mr. Rao.... Aap thik hai na?
Raghav : kuch nhi wo mereko gudgudi feel ho rha hai
Doctor laughed making Pallavi embarassed.
Doctor : ye hai aapka baby... She pointed at the circular structure on the screen.
Raghav : ye baby hai? Ye to baby jaisa dikh hi nhi rha hai... Doctor tum sch mein MBBS kiya hai na?
Doctor : Mr. Rao... Baby initially Aisa hi dikhta hai
Pallavi held his hand and looked at him with teary eyes
Pallavi : it's our baby
Raghav : our baby
They shared a smile.
Juhu chopati
Pallavi ate her extra spicy bhel puri by licking her lips. No feeling is better than seeing your wife eating non stop who is actually feeding you child. How different life would be in next few month.
Raghav was in his thought when he saw pallavi's teary eyes.
Raghav : kya hua baby.... Zyada tikha hai?
Pallavi : Raghav... Tum to bahut ache appa banoge... Pr kya main ek achi aai bn paogi
Raghav wiped her tears with back of his hand and cupped her small face in his big hands.
Raghav : tu acha nhi... Best amma banega..... Samajhla?
Pallavi giggled and continued to eat.
Raghav : main gadi se paani lekr aata hai.... Tum wait krne ka
Pallavi continued to eat her bhel puri when she felt a tap on her shoulder.
Esha : I pallavi
Pallavi : hii
She was in no mood to deal with her husband's ex
Esha : aur.... Sb kaisa chl rha hai?
Pallavi : sb perfect hai
Esha : tum jaanti ho main aur Raghav....
Pallavi : ha.. Raghav ne btaya tha tum whi daayan ho jisne uski life mein tehelka mcha diya hai
Kaafi tarif krta hai tumhari
Esha's expression changed at which Pallavi mentally acknowledged her presence of mind.
Esha : tum jaanti ho na ki Raghav mujhse bahut pyaar krta hai
Pallavi : krta tha
Ab nhi krta..... Tum bs uska past ho aur main uski present and future
Esha : main uski pehla pyaar hun
Pallavi : aur main aakhiri
Esha : wo mujhse aabhi bhi pyaar krta hai... Bs naaraaz hai
Tum humare bich mein aa rhi ho
Pallavi : o. Ho.... Tb sochun ki tumhare sangat mein reh kr Raghav padai mein kamzoor kyun ho gya tha
Waise tum bachpan se hi padhaai mein aisi ho ya kuch samay pehle ye talent aaya..... Kyunki kya hai na tumhare aur Raghav ke bich mein Mai nhi mere ghr grehasti mein tum bich mein aane ka kosis kr rhi ho.
Pallavi took a swift turn and started walking towards the parking area where Raghav went to take the water bottle.
Esha : dil mein pehla pyaar ki jgh hamesha rehti hai Pallavi
Pallavi haulted at her steps.
Esha : main apne Raghav ko tumse lekr hi rahungi.....tum dekhna wo khud mere paas aayega
Pallavi : in your dreams.
She walked away. Raghav was coming with the bottle but was unable to see Esha's presence
Raghav : tum wapas aa gya... Wo ek phone call attend krna tha
Pallavi : bahut ghum liya ghr chlte hai
Without waiting for response... She went on the other side of the car and sat
Raghav : isko kya ho gya
Rak Mansion
Everybody noticed that Pallavi was way too silent since she returned from the hospital
Jaya : doctor kuch bola kya? Sb thik hai na
Raghav : ha amma... Pta nhi Pallavi achanak se shaant ho gya..... Shaam tk to thik tha
Though Pallavi had answered her back with braveness... She was scared by the determination in Esha's voice. Her mind was again and again thinking about her words
She had her dinner quitely and came back to her room
Raghav : pallavi... Tereko kya pareshaan kr rha hai?
Pallavi : kuch nhi
She tried to lie but her eyes ditched her.
Raghav : please Pallavi.... Tum mereko nhi btaayega to kisko kahega... Kya pareshaan kr rha hai tereko
Pallavi : Esha ne kha hai ki wo tumhe mujhse chin legi.... Rum uske paas khud chle jaauge... Main is baby ko akele nhi sambhal paogi Raghav..... Main tumhare bins nhi ji paungi.
Raghav : kha mila tumko wo... Aur tum mereko bataya kyun nhi?
Pallavi was sobbing hard leaning on his chest. Raghav's blood boiled at how can that girl dare to threaten her wife with such words.
Raghav ensured Pallavi that he won't ever leave her side and she fell asleep in his embrace
Raghav : mereko ye issue ko jldi se jldi khtm krna hoga
Next morning
Raghav sent Pallavi to her store so that she can divert her mind from previous occasions.
He texted Esha that he wants to meet her to which she replied in in creepy manner " Sure baby" Raghav did not reply her back and only sent her the address.
Sawant jewelery store
Pallavi felt nice after coming to office after so many day. She was in her cabin when someone barged in her cabin
Esha : how are you Pallavi
Pallavi : how dare you... Tum yaha aane ka sochi bhi kaise
Esha : calm down... Main to ye bataane aayi thi ki Raghav mere bina ek din bhi nhi reh skta... Dekho usne khud mujhe milne ke liye bulaya hai
Pallavi : mujhe pagal smjha hai
Mera Raghav tumhe apne jutee na de... Milne kya bulaayega
Esha : visvas nhi hua dekho.... She showed her the chats.... Ye dekho maine baby likha aur usne objection nhi dikhaayi
Tum aa skti ho.... Apni sautan anr pati ka milan dekhne
I won't mind it
Pallavi : security... Iss aurat jo yha kya mere ghr tk mein ghusne mt dena
The security dragged Esha out but she was still smiling like a maniac
Pallavi knew this can't happen but her hormones weren't helping her.
Evening time
Cafe
Pallavi came to the cafe just to asure herself.
She entered the cafe to only get a shock. Raghav and Esha were sitting together and she was giving off the smile.
Esha noticed her and started hitting his shoulder occasionally between their chats.
Pallavi wasn't able to process the event which just happened and she quickly rushed out of the cafe asking the driver to drive her home
Raghav : mereko Aisa baar baar touch krke baat nhi krne ka
Esha : I know Raghav you still love me.... Please..
Raghav : no Esha.... I don't..... Haa ek waqt pr krta tha.. But not now
Bahut mushkil se mereko ek family mila hai
I can't afford to loose it
Please Isha mere life se dur chle jau.. You will find someone better than me
Raghav left the cafe leaving behind Esha who was lost in her thought tinking whether she is doing right by trying to break his marriage or not.
She brushed away her thoughts
Esha : I just want you Raghav... Aur koi nhi
Rao mansion
Raghav : pallavi... Pallavi... Tum kha hai.. Main kuch laya hai tere liye
He has brought her favorite Chinese food. He too did not had his lunch in nervousness what will he do if Esha denies.
Jaya : pallavi sbhi tk nhi aaya
Raghav : nhi aaya ka mtlb
.. Uska car to aa gya hai
Raghav rushed out to ask the driver about his wife followed by Jaya
Raghav : Pallavi kha hai?
Driver : ma'am ko apne ghr jaana tha.. Maine kha ki pehle mansion aane ke liye nhi to aaplog pareshaan ho jaaiyega but wo meri baat nhi suni
Wo cafe se nikl kr direct apne ghr chli gyi
Raghav : cafe... Kon sa. Wain... O shit....
Amma main aata hai
Jaya : ek minute hua kya.. Kaisa cafe?
Raghav told her how he met Esha at the cafe and may be it was Esha who called Pallavi so that she could predict something else.
Jaya : Raghav... Tu mat jaa
Ladies pregnancy mein sensitive ho jaata hai... Aur koi bhi apne husband ke ex ke aane pr pareshaan ho jaayega
Main tum pr bharosa kr rha hai... Tu sch bol rha hai na
Raghav : aapki kasam amma... Main sch bol rha hai
Jaya : Tu ghr pr ruk... Main Pallavi ko jaa kr manata hai
Jaya left. Raghav came inside but he has no appetite. He went in his room and lied down on her side of the bed inhaling her intoxicating fragrance. Even his room have her fragrance now.
He wondered why anyone cannot trust him for once without asking for the justification? Is he that bad?
He took out his limited edition for first time in last 3 months and gulped all of the bottle at once.
Raghav : 7 saal baad main apna birthday ache se bnane wala tha kl.... Wo bhi kharaab ho gya
Bhagvaan mera khushi dekh hi nhi skta... Thinking so he slipped down in deep slumber.
