Gauri mutters.
G: didn't allow me to ask and when I tried to cover up, came out of nowhere and making me a liar.
Gauri sits in her cabin reading a file.
O:,Gauri
Gauri in anger: kya hein
She sees Om and gets up nervous and looks down. Om sighs.
O: vo I need a help
G: ji
O: I have a meeting in an hour, the file is in my home , can you please go and get it
Gauri nods and walks. Om was standing in the door looking at her. Gauri stops in front of him.
G: sir, hatiye
O:,huh? Ohh haan
Om moves. Gauri goes. Om hits his head on the door.
O: kya kehne aaye the aur kya kaha
Gauri goes to Oberoi mansion. Gauri sees Pinky sitting in hall gloomy, lost in thoughts.
G: good afternoon aunty ji
Pinky doesn't hear as lost in thoughts. Gauri waves her hand in front of her. Pinky looks at her.
P: arre tum
Pinky wipes her tears.
P:when did you come
G: bas now, what happened
Pinky smiles: what happened? Nothing, I was bored toh bas. Tu bata how come you here at this time
P:,did you have lunch? I have made khadi chawal, will you have? Vo
Gauri looks at her.
G: Its easy to say the problem than acting coz its not working
P: acting? Why will I act that is Rudra's department
G: haan that's what I am also saying, why acting.
Pinky shook her head.
P: tu bhi na
Pinky stands up and walks.
G: won't tell your best friend too?
Pinky stops and looks at her. Gauri touch her shoulder.
G: did Jhanvi maam said something
Pinky cries and looks down.
G:, kya hua
P: vo day after tomorrow is Om's birthday. We wanted to give him a surprise that will make him really happy. Shivay found out his art works in store room and shared an idea of exhibiting it here along with the party, its his dream.
G: haan toh achi baat hein na
Pinky nods no. Gauri raise her eyebrow.
G:Jhanvi maam didn't allow?
Pinky nods.
P: she said I want to make Shivay the head of the empire toh again trying to divert Omki's mind. Aisa nahi hein,,I cant see him trying hard to be happy sacrificing his passion. I dont know how to say all I couldn't convince jhetaniji, if Omru knows about our talk toh you know na what will happen. I dont know what to do.
Khanna comes.
Kh:pinky maam. Yeh lijiye vegetables.
Pinky takes vegetables and actions Gauri she will come after keeping it.she goes
G:,khanna bhaiya
K: ji?
G: will you take Metra industries file from office room.
Khanna nods and goes. Gauri goes up and sees Jhanvi on the balcony reading a book.
G: maam
Jhanvi looks at her.
J: you? How come you here? At this time?
G: I need to talk to you
J: what is it
G: maam vo Omkaraji I mean sir's birthday
Jhanvi rolls her eyes.
J:great ,ab I have to hear advice from an employee too. Pinky had sent you here na,how can she think so stupidly that I will listen to you. Listen I have no time for all this.
Jhanvi gets up.
G:I also don't have time maam,I should reach office soon, five minutes.
J: I will help you to save that five minutes too,you may go
Jhanvi walks.
G: how long will you escape from problems like this maam kab tak
Jhanvi looks at her.
J: excuse me
G: dont do this, you are making the problem worse by this
Jhanvi smirks:problems? What do you know about my problems. So just
G: I know your problem, you are jealous of Pinky aunty.
Jhanvi looks at her stunned:you
G: Its not your fault too, no mother can tolerate their children being closer to someone else than them. But you very well know Pinky aunty is such a good soul and she deserves it. Phir bhi to satisfy your mind and ego you try to believe and make others believe she needs the properties. Kyun maam.
Jhanvi looks here and there not having any reply.
G: you are not realising maam,by doing all this you are increasing the distance between you and them. Blaming pinky aunty and making her bad is not the solution to your problem. You know why Omkaraji have problems with you? Do you realise what all he lost in life because of you both.
Gauri emotional.
G: his childhood, he had to fulfil the duty which you left. Being a parent to Rudy sir, he did not have a chance to enjoy his childhood. Sochiye na what a 12 year boy was supposed to do and what he had to do. His insecurities, grief, jealousy of seeing a happy family. In sabke bawjud bhi if he is a nice person its all cos of Pinky aunty.
G: you even didnt allow to pursue his passion na. Jaante bhi hein aap,now also he draws and sculpt. His passion is now just a hobby. You have snatched the most two important thing from his life maam.
Jhanvi looks at her .
G: I know you didn't do it intentionally, you love him a lot. You regret your deeds. Just thinking about the past and crying is not enough maam. You should show that in your actions. You are trying to make him do business coz you want him to be wealthy na, for a secured life. If a person is not happy then what security he gets in the money. His happiness was in small small things. You know it was his dream to exhibit his paintings. The works which are precious, his passion which should be in this living room or in an exhibition was in the store room all this years. Ab if Shankarji is giving an opportunity to make him.happy, a way to be close to your son, why are you rejecting it.
Gauri wipes her tears.
G: my five minutes is over. Rest is up to you, to let go or grab this opportunity. Have a nice day maam
Gauri goes. He takes the file from Khanna and smiles.
G: thank you bhaiya
Gauri sees Pinky and hugs her.
G: relax everything will be fine
Pinky sighs.
P: Shivay and Rudy will come in an hour. I dont know what will I say them so that there will be no Hungama
G: arre miracles can happen in seconds. One hour is long time.
Pinky shook her head. Gauri goes. Gauri reaches office and gives him the file.
O: thank you
G: welcome sir, I will check the meeting room .
O: ok
Gauri goes. Om sighs.
O:,let it be Om,,lets not complicate it by saying to forget about what happened on karvachauth.
Rudy and Shivay come to pinky eagerly.
Shi: maa did you talk to badi maa
Ru: what did she say
P: did you have lunch? I have made khadi chawal.
Shi: mom first reply, then khadi chawal
Pinky sighs:beta vo
Pinky looks wide eye seeing servants taking Om's painting. Shivay and Rudy too looks surprised.
Kh: careful
P: Khanna, where are you taking this.
Kh: jhanvi maam told to dust it and give for framing
Pinky looks wide eye. Rudy and Shivay grins.
Ru: mom agreed?
Jhanvi comes down.
J:khanna, please hurry up. We have less time,only one day is left. Shivay tell Anika to show me the interior of the exhibition room. It should go with the paintings na.
Shivay and Rudy hugs her facing their back to Pinky. Pinky in tears smiling.
Ru: thank you mom
Shi: thank you so much
Jhanvi smiles and looks at pinky. Pinky nods smiling. Jhanvi too smiles.
J: stop being emotional, lets plan for the party chalo.
Jhanvi walks with Shivru discussing.
P: (miracles happen in seconds. So true, thanks Shankarji)
Jhanvi turns to her.
J: what are you looking at
P: huh? Kuch nahi, I was just
J: chalo, let's discuss
P: me? What will I do in between you three.
J: you know Om's likes and dislikes more than me na toh come
Shivay looks surprised and happy.
