Note: Just like my previous few stories here too Krishuv ( Krishna+ Akshu + Kairav ) never accepted Sirat and Arohi. They were cordial with Arohi but after Akshu was blamed by her for Sirat's death the trio started hating her. All the elder Goenkas( except Manish, Surekha and Luv Kush ) loved Arohi a lot but not like how they loved Krishuv coz the trio are Naira's kids who is the jaan and pride of the Goenkas even after 3 decades of her death so obviously her kids will be very special only na. Manish, Surekha and Luv Kush were the only people beside Krishuv who never accepted Sirat and Arohi, they hated her to the core for what she did with Akshu. Here too Arohi is Ranveer's daughter which no one knows about except Kartik, Sirat and Ranveer and with their death this secret also is buried forever. After Sirat's death Mimi, Swarna and Akhilesh were upset and angry with Arohi as they had to send their Akshu away from them to Singhanias with Gayu and Vatsal for 12 years but nevertheless they still loved her. But when Arohi blamed Akshu for Neil's death that day they were really furious with her, they would have broken all relations with her if it was not for Ruhi. For Ruhi's sake they have still kept relations with Arohi and the Birlas as they don't want that innocent kid to be deprived of her maternal family's love just because of her mother's mistakes. Here everyone calls her Arohi only, Aaru only that sadakchap Sirat called her. Here no Abhimanyu in Kasauli, AkshNav are happily living their life in their small world. None of the Birlas know Abir's truth, only Goenkas and Prarish know it from 3 years. Akshu has moved on with Abhinav and is in love with him. They confessed their feelings 3 years before and remarried again in a temple. Here Surekha is positive and loves Akshu the most as she is the last remembrance of her dear daughter Naira who she loved more than her own daughter Mansi. She is not against MusRav but infact she is really happy that finally Kairav has got love and happiness again in his life in the form of Muskan.
Let's get into the story.
Next morning
Kairav wakes up with a heavy headache. He looks at his surroundings and realises that he is in an unknown place.
Kairav: Yeh main kaha hoon, pata nahi kiska ghar hai yeh. Mujhe kuch yaad kyun nahi aaraha hai ki main yaha kaise aaya. ( Notices his clothes ) Aur yeh kapde toh mere nahi hai, maine toh kal kuch aur hi pehna tha phir mere kapde kisne badal diye.
He tries to remember what happened after he walked out of the hostel but he doesn't remember anything except that he had got heavily drunk. He closes his eyes as his head was bursting due to hangover so he fails to realise someone's presence in the room. Pratha enters the room with medicines for headache when she sees Kairav awake clutching his head with his eyes closed.
Pratha: Kairav.
Kairav opens his eyes and sees Pratha there.
Kairav: Krishu didi aap yaha. Matlab yeh aapka aur jiju ka flat hai na jiske baare mein aapne bataya ki aapne kuch samay pehle hi kharida tha. Aapne bataya nahi ki aap Udaipur aane wali thi.
Pratha(strictly): Baate karna bandh kardo aur yeh dawai khaalo, tera sar dard kam hojayega.
Listening to her strict tone Kairav shuts his mouth and immediately has the medicine like an obedient child. Pratha keeps the water glass on the side table and glares at Kairav which he doesn't notice.
Kairav: Didi main yaha pe kaise aaya.
Pratha doesn't reply to this instead she just slaps him tightly making him shocked. This is the first time in his entire life that his sister has slapped him, he wonders what is the reason that made Pratha so angry on him.
Kairav(shocked): Di
He was about to speak when Pratha cuts him in between.
Pratha(roars): Chup ek dum chup, tere muh se mujhe ek shabdh bhi nahi sunna samjhe tum. Samajhte kya ho tum khudko Mr. Kairav Goenka ki tu joh chahe woh kar sakta hai aur koi kuch bhi nahi kahega tujhse, agar tujhe Aisa lagta hai then you are wrong got it. Aisi kya naubat aagayi thi ki tujhe puri tarah nashe mein dhut hoke gaadi chalana pada. Tujhe pata bhi hai tu kitni tez gaadi chala raha tha, arey tera accident hojata aur tujhe kuch hogaya hota toh? Tunhe ek baar bhi humare parivaar ke baare mein nahi socha, agar tujhe kuch hogaya hota toh unka kya hota. Tujhe toh apne parivaar ki koi chinta nahi hai, mujhe tujhse baat hi nahi karni.
Kairav(guilty): I am really sorry didi.
Pratha(shouts): Apna yeh sorry apne paas hi rakho nahi chahiye mujhe tera sorry samjha tu kyunki iss sorry ki koi value nahi hai. Aaj tak maine saari galtiyan maaf kiye hai chahe choti ho ya badi, 3 saal tu Akshu se naraaz tha usse baat tak nahi kiya ek baar bhi aur usse itna hurt kiya phir bhi maine tujhe maaf kiya teri feelings ko samjha even though I was really upset and angry with you par kal joh tunhe kiya woh main maaf nahi karungi samjhe. ( Hurt+ upset ) Mumma papa ko toh already khodiya hai humne, agar tujhe kuch hojata toh mujhpe, Akshu pe aur humare parivaar pe kya beethi iska andaaza bhi hai tujhe. Tujhse toh baat karna hi bekaar hai.
She angrily goes out of the room. Kairav cries hearing this, his eyes then falls on KaIra's photo frame kept on the side table. He picks the photo frame and talks to it.
Kairav: I am sorry mumma papa didi ne sahi kaha, muskan ke rejection se main itna dukhi hogaya ki sharaab peeke rash driving kar raha tha. Agar mujhe kuch bhi hojata toh meri family ka kya hota iske baare mein maine socha hi nahi. Didi humesha chup hoti hai meri galtiyon pe kabhi kuch nahi bolti lekin aaj unhone pehli baar mujhpe chillaya, mujhpe haath uthaya. Didi iss baar bohot hurt hui hai mujhe unse maafi maang leni chahiye.
Hall
After lashing out at Kairav Pratha comes to the hall. Rishabh was keeping the breakfast on the table when he sees Pratha coming out.
Rishabh: Pratha Kairav uth gaya hai ya nahi.
Pratha just hugs Rishabh and cries.
Pratha(crying): Mujhe bohot bura lag raha hai Rishabh aur khud pe gussa bhi aaraha hai mujhe. Aaj maine pehli baar Kairav pe haath uthaya, usse itna daanta maine ki uske aankhon mein aansu aagaye. Maine kitna hurt kiya usse lekin main bhi kya karti, mujhe usse samjhana tha ki iss baar usne bohot galat kiya hai isliye maine aisa bartaav kiya uske saath. Maine aaj khud apne Kairav ko rulaya hai, main apne Kairav aur Akshu ke aankhon mein aansu kabhi bardaasht nahi kar sakti lekin aaj maine khud apne Kairav ke aankhon mein aansu laaye hai. Main Kairav se bohot gussa hoon lekin phir bhi mujhe bohot guilty feel horaha hai usse thappad maarke, uspe gussa karke. Kairav mera pehla baccha hai Rishabh, bacchpan mein mumma ki maut ke baad maine Kairav ko apne bete ki tarah paal poskar bada kiya, uski maa banke usse bohot pyaar kiya aur aaj maine khud apne bacche ka dil dukhaya hai.
Rishabh: Pratha relax pehle toh rona bandh kardo, tumne kuch galat nahi kiya hai toh please guilty feel mat karo. Tumne joh bhi kiya hai Kairav ko uski galti ka ehsaas dilaane ke liye kiya hai. Tum uski badi behan ho aur maa banke paala hai tumne Kairav ko toh tumhe pura adhikaar hai Kairav ko uske galti pe daanta aur agar usne kuch bhi galat kiya toh usse thappad maarna samjhi.
Rishabh wipes her tears.
Rishabh: Chalo ab breakfast karo.
They sit on the table and start to have their breakfast.
10 minutes later
Prarish are having their breakfast when Kairav comes out.
Pratha(taunts): Rishabh agar koi nashta karne mein dilchasp hai toh unse kaho yaha bethke nashta karle ya subah subah bhi kisiko sharaab peeke nashe mein dhut hona hai.
Kairav feels bad hearing her taunt.
Rishabh: Pratha please na rehne dete hai iss baat ko, hogayi na galti Kairav se maaf kardo na usse please. Kairav tum idhar aake betho nashta karne.
Kairav sits with them and silently eats his breakfast.
After sometime
Pratha is sitting in the hall when Kairav comes and sits next to her. He lies down and keeps his head on her lap and starts crying.
Kairav(cries): Aap gussa hai na mujhse di kyunki maine aapko hurt kiya hai, i am really sorry didi.
Even though she is angry with him she can't see him in pain. Spitting away her anger she carresses his hair lovingly.
Pratha: Kairav baby tujhe pata hai na main tujhse zyada der gussa nahi reh sakti. Aisa kabhi hua hai kya ki ek maa apne bacche se gussa hogayi, main toh bas upset hogayi thi teri haalat dekhe. Tu puri tarah nashe mein dhut hoke gaadi chala raha tha Kairav, teri gaadi ka almost accident hogaya hota humari gaadi se agar last minute maine sharp turn nahi liya hota toh. Aur kal raat tu baarish mein puri tarah se bheega tha jiske wajah se tujhe itna high fever hogaya tha, pata hai kitni dar gayi thi main teri haalat dekhe, maano kisine meri jaan hi nikal li ho.(concerned) Kya hua tha Kairav, tunhe itni sharaab piya hi kyun. Please bata mujhe kya baat hai joh tujhe itna pareshaan kar raha hai.
Kairav tells her everything that happened in the past few days till the yesterday night incident where Muskan said she doesn't trust him. Pratha is shocked hearing all this and feels bad for Kairav.
Pratha: Kairav i understand your feelings lekin Muskan bhi apni jagah pe sahi hai. Jis aadmi ne usse itna hurt kiya woh itni aasani se uss aadmi pe phirse trust kaise karsakti hai. Lekin tu dil chota mat kar, Muskan ke liye tera pyaar sacha hai yeh mujh saaf saaf dikh raha hai aur sacche pyaar ki humesha jeet hoti hai samjha. I am so happy Kairav ki tujhe phirse pyaar hogaya aur iss baar tera dil nahi tutega I am sure of it. Main jab bhi Akshu se milne Kasauli jaati thi tab main Muskan se bhi milti thi. Bohot bholi baari pyaari ladki hai woh aur straight forward bhi. Joh bhi uske dil mein hota hai woh hi uske zubaan pe bhi hota hai. Mujhe toh tere biwi ke roop mein Muskan bohot pasand hai, I am proud of your choice Kairav baby.
30 minutes later
Women's Hostel
Muskan is outside the hostel gates talking to her friend when Pratha comes there and calls out to her.
Pratha: Muskan
Muskan turns around and sees Pratha.
Muskan: Arey didi ji aap namaste ji kaisi hai aap. Aaj bohot samaay baad aapse mil rahi hoon ji.
Pratha: Namaste Muskan main theek hoon. Muskan mujhe tumse ek zaruri baat karni hai akele mein toh kya tum mere saath chal sakti ho.
Muskan: Ji theek hai didi ji.
Pratha: Yaha paas mein hi ek cafe hai waha chalte hai.
Muskan nods and they both go to the cafe nearby.
Cafe Boho
Pratha and Muskan enter the cafe and sit on the table. The waiter comes to take their order.
Pratha: Mere liye ek Espresso aur Muskan tum kya logi.
Muskan: Nahi ji mujhe kuch nahi chahiye thank you.
Pratha: Oh common Muskan itni formal hone ki zarurat nahi hai, hum ajnabhi thodi na hai balki hum toh family hai. Batao tum kya logi.
Muskan(smiles): Main ek cold coffee lungi ji.
Pratha: Theek hai toh ek cold coffee aur ek espresso please.
Waiter: Anything else maam.
Pratha: No thank you.
The waiter goes from there.
Pratha: Dekho Muskan main seedha point pe aake baat karungi. Mujhe sab kuch pata chal gaya hai inn dono kya hua tha tumhare aur Kairav ke beech, usne mujhe khud bataya tha aur kal raat ko kya hua tha yeh bhi bataya usne.
Tum please ek baar meri baat sunlo aur phir uske baad tumhara joh bhi decision hoga main usme tumhara saath dungi. Sach jaanne ke baad Kairav ko ek second chance dena hai ya nahi yeh sirf tumhara faisla hai.
Muskan: Ji boliye didi ji main sunne ke liye taiyaar hoon.
Pratha: Kairav joh hai na ab bohot rude aur arrogant hai, gussa uski naak pe 24x7 hota hai lekin tumhe pata hai Kairav pehle aisa nahi tha. Mera Kairav na bohot sweet, bhola bala aur shararti tha bacchpan mein, bohot bada nautanki tha woh aur usse shararat karne mein bohot maja aata tha. Bohot bada prankster tha har roz kisi na kisi pe pranks karta rehta tha woh. Ek din na jab Kairav sirf 6 saal ka tha tab mumma ki maut hogayi.( Teary eyed ) Humare saamne hi mumma uss khaai mein gir gayi aur unki maut hogayi. Kairav mumma se bohot pyaar karta tha, sabse zyada toh woh mumma ke hi close tha. Mumma aur Kairav toh best friends te, Kairav ka pehla pyaar toh mumma hi hai. Jab mumma ki maut hogayi thi tab unke saath mere cute, funny aur prankster Kairav ki bhi maut hogayi thi. Uske baad joh Kairav humare saath tha woh bas ek chup chap rehne wala baccha tha jisse hasna muskarana nahi aata tha. Jaise woh bada hota gaya woh aur bhi introvert bangaya, apne gusse ko dhaal banaake woh apna dard chupata tha. Phir uski zindagi mein Anisha aayi aur usse Anisha se pyaar hogaya. Anisha Abhimanyu ki choti behen thi. Kairav aur Anisha ki sagaai hogayi thi aur woh dono shaadi karne wale te.
Muskan(shocked): Sagaai hogayi thi toh unhone shaadi kyun nahi ki ab tak aur yeh Anisha kaha hai ab.
Pratha: Anisha iss duniya mein nahi hai ab. Shaadi se pehle Kairav aur Akshu ko pata chala ki Anisha ka kisi shaadi shuda aadmi ke saath affair hai aur woh Kairav se shaadi sirf apna affair continue karne ke liye kar rahi thi. Kairav ko yeh dhoka bardaasht nahi hua aur usne Anisha se shaadi todhli. Usne kaha tha Anisha se ki woh apne parivaar ko sab kuch sach sach bataye lekin Anisha ne uski ek nahi suni. Agle din woh Goenka Villa pahunch gayi apni family ke saath mehendi function ke liye aur tab Kairav ko bohot gussa aaya aur usne wahi pe sabke saamne apni shaadi todhli aur Anisha se kaha ki woh apne family ko sach bataye. Lekin Anisha badi dheet thi apne family ko sach batane ke bajaye woh Kairav ke peeche bhaag gayi terrace pe. Usne Kairav se bohot request kiye te shaadi na todne ke liye lekin Kairav uski baat nahi maan raha tha toh usne suicide karne ki dhamki dedi. Railing pe khade hokar woh Kairav ko blackmail kar rahi thi ki agar usne shaadi todhli toh woh suicide kar legi par achanak se uska paer fisal gaya aur uski maut hogayi terrace se girne ke baad. Kairav ke aankhon ke saamne hi Anisha ki maut hogayi terrace se girne ke baad. Yeh incident bohot traumatizing tha Kairav keliye pehle usne apni maa ko khai mein girke marte hue dekha aur phir apne pyaar ko chath se girke marte hue dekha. Anisha ke maut ke liye Birlas ne Kairav ko blame kiya, usko Anisha ka khooni kehke arrest karwaya aur jail bhejdiya. Waha jail mein Mahima Birla ke kehne pe bohot torture karte te police Kairav ko aur usse maarne ki planning kar rahi thi Mahima Birla. Police ke haathon ek fake encounter mein marwana chahti thi woh Kairav ko. Yeh baat jab Akshu ko pata chala tab usne Kairav ko jail se bhagaya aur woh dono Mauritius chale gaye. Mahima Birla ke wajah se mere Kairav aur Akshu ko desh chodke bhaagna pada. 1 saal tak dono Mauritius mein ek gumnaam zindagi jee rahe te ghar parivaar sabse dur. Uss ek saal mein Kairav ki maansik halat bohot kharab hogayi thi, usse social anxiety hogayi thi aur anjaan logo se darne laga tha woh. Bheed bhaad wali jagahon ka phobia hogaya tha usse aur kaanp utha tha woh bheed ko dekhe. Akshu chupke se uska treatment karwa rahi thi psychiatrist se aur jab woh theek hua toh dono phirse wapas India aagaye Kairav ke innocence ke sabooton ke saath aur Kairav ko begunah saabit kar diya unhone. Anisha ke diye dhoke ke baad Kairav ka bharosa uth gaya pyaar pe se isliye inte saalon tak usne kisi se shaadi nahi ki. Phir tum aagayi uski zindagi mein aur usse tumse pyaar hogaya hai ab.
Muskan is shocked hearing Kairav's painful past. She now understands the reason behind his rude and arrogant behaviour.
Goenka Villa
Muskan comes there and sees Kairav there in the hall.
Muskan: Bhairav ji I love you, main aapse shaadi karne keliye taiyaar hoon.
Listening this Kairav gets happy and makes her wear the paper ring. Everyone else also gets happy hearing this. Mimi goes to Muskan.
Mimi: Muskan beta apne haath aage karo.
Muskan forwards her hand and Mimi makes her wear kangan in both her hands.
Muskan: Mimi yeh kangan.
Mimi: Yeh koi aise waise kangan nahi hai bohot khaas hai yeh. Yeh kangan Naira ki hai, Naira Kairav ki maa hai. Yeh kangan usne apni bahu ke liye rakhe te toh aaj main yeh tumhe derahi hoon shagun ke roop mein. Isme tumhari saas ka ashirwad hai.
Muskan(emotional): Yeh kangan toh bohot sundar hai, thank you Mimi ji.
Later Muskan informed the Sharma's also about her relationship who were very happy and decided to get MusRav married as soon as possible.
