At night,AkshAn were sleeping peacefully...After sometime,Guddan saw a nightmare..She got the flashes of the Ganga-Avinash incident..She started becoming restless..Suddenly she woke up with a jerk..She was breathing heavily..Just then,she looked at her surroundings and found everything normal..She sighed in relief that her Jindal Sahab and her daughter are safe and sound...She found that Akshat was sleeping peacefully there...She was still restless..So she decided to take some fresh air by coming out of the room..Without disturbing Akshat,she left the room and went to the garden...

In the garden,she was sitting on the bench looking at the sky..She was admiring the stars..Just then,someone covered her with a shawl..She turned back to look who it was..It was Akshat..Akshat came and sit near her..

Akshat-Itni raat ko yahaan baithogi toh thand lag jaayegi!!Kyun baithi ho yahaan??Kya soch rahi ho??

Guddan-(looking at him)Humnein galat kiya kya??

Akshat-(confused)Kya galat kiya???

Guddan-(getting emotional)Bhaiya Bhabhi ki jaan lekar!!Humein apni beti ko bachana tha!!Humnein unki jaan kyun le li!!!Yeh toh galat hai na!!Jab hum kisiko zindagi de nahin saktein toh kisiki zindagi lene ka haq humein kisne diya!!??Humein yeh nahin karna chahiye tha!!Hum kaise kiski jaan le saktein hain!!!(crying)Yeh kya ho gaya humse!!Chahe jo bhi ho,the toh woh humare apne hi na!!Aapke bade bhai-bhabhi!!Teeno beton ke Mata Pita!!Maa ke bete!!Kaise ho gaya humare haathon itna bada gunaah!!!Hum aise toh nahin the!!

Akshat-(Cupping her face)Guddan,dekho meri aor!!(wiping her tears)Kuch galat nahin kiya tumnein!!Dhyaan se suno meri baat!!Kuch bhi galat nahin kiya tumnein,samjhi tum!!(with gravity in his voice)Pehli baat,na toh woh mere bhaiya-bhabhi hain aur na hi tumhare Jeth-Jethani!!Aur na hi woh apne beton ke pita kehlane ke layak hai aur na hi meri Maa ke bete kehlane ke layak hain!!Toh yeh baat tum apne dimaag se nikaldo ki woh humare apne the!!Woh sirf aur sirf humare parivaar ke gunaahagaar the!!Aur dusri aur sabse zaroori baat,tumnein jo kuch bhi kiya woh humari bacchi ko bachane ke liye kiya,Guddan!!That was not a crime or murder!!Woh self defense tha!!Tumnein jaan bujh ke unki jaan nahin li,Guddan!!Humare paas tab koi aur option nahin tha!!Agar tum aise nahin karti,toh shayad aaj hum saath nahin hote!!Humari Princess humare saath nahin hoti!!Accha chalo thik hai!!Agar tumhein abhi bhi tasalli nahin ho rahi hai,toh ek kaam karo!!Apni aankh band karo aur unn kuch dino mein humnein aur humari beti ne kya kya saha hai woh sab yaad karo!!(Guddan looked at him being shocked)Haan!!Yaad karo,Guddan!!Har cheez har dard yaad karo!!Aur phir apne dil se yehi sawaal karo ki jo tumne kiya woh sahi tha ya galat!!Phir dekho dil kya jawaab deta hai!!Tum hi kehti ho na,ki dil kabhi galat nahin hota!!Tumhara dil jo jawaab dega usse tumhein tasalli zaroor hogi!!Come on,do it!!!

Considering his advice,Guddan closed her eyes and remember all the happenings of those 3 days..She got flashes of all the incidents..How Choti was snatched from them,how she was kept hungry until and unless Guddan would complete Ganga's challenges,how she had to whip her Jindal Sahab,how her bahus had to suffer in order to support and protect their Saasu Maa and Choti,how Akshat had to disguise himself as Diljeet Singh,how Choti was again kidnapped by Avinash,how Akshat had to bear a lot of pain and injuries,how Ganga tried to kill her daughter,how they hid from Ganga-Avinash to protect themselves,how Ganga snatched Choti from her forcefully and asked Avinash to shoot her.....Each and everything was clear in front of eyes...She could feel the pain of what she and her family had to go through...She opened her eyes with a jerk and began to breathe heavily...Akshat could feel her restlessness and he gave her the required support...

Akshat-(keeping his one hand on one of her shoulders and holding her hands with his another hand)Kya hua???Kya jawaab diya dil ne?

Guddan-(with determination on her face)Dil ne kaha ki humnein bilkul sahi kiya!!Kuch galat nahin kiya!!(looking at him)Sahi kaha aapne!!Humnein jo kuch bhi kiya apne parivaar ke liye kiya!!Woh gunaahagaar hain humare apnon ke!!Humnein sirf unhein unke kiye ki saza di!!There is nothing wrong in it!!Nothing wrong!!Humein guilty feel karne ki koi zaroorat hai hi nahin!!!They deserved it!!

Akshat nodded at her and cupped her face assuring her that she was absolutely correct...Guddan hugged him immediately and Akshat hugged her back lovingly..He caressed her back and gave her the assurance that he is with her all they time...Guddan calmed down in his embrace...They remained in each other's embrace peacefully...

Next day,in morning...Guddan was getting ready looking at the mirror..Just then,Akshat came there,carrying Choti in his arms..

Akshat-Guddan!!

Guddan-(still looking at the mirror while getting ready)Hmm!!

Akshat-Zara idhar toh dekho!!Kaun aaya hai tumse milne!!

Guddan looked at the door...She got overwhelmed seeing her daughter in her husband's arms..She got emotional and ran to her...

Guddan-(touching her face)Choti!!

Choti giggled at this..She swung her hands in air in happiness..Akshat laughed at this..Guddan could not control anymore and took her into her embrace..She hugged her tightly and kissed her numerous times...Choti hugged her Mumma and didn't want to leave her..Akshat was overwhelmed seeing his lifelines together after a long time...He hugged them and the trio were happy in each other's embrace...Akshat kissed their foreheads...

Guddan-I am sorry,Baccha!!Mumma ne bahut sataya na aapko!!Aapne bahut miss kiya na Mumma ko!!I am so sorry!!Abhi na Mumma aapko chodke kahin nahin jaayengi!!Pinky Promise!!Ab se Mumma,Papa and Princess,humesha saath rahenge!!Okay!!(she kissed her cheeks)

Akshat-(in a teasing way)Dekho toh zara!!Kitne kass ke hug kiya hai usne apni Mumma ko jaise kahin nahin jaane degi!!Bhai yeh accha hai!!Mumma ko dekh kar Papa ko toh bhul hi gayi madam!!Papa ki aor dekh bhi nahin rahi hai!!Not fair,Princess!!(saying this he frowned)

Guddan-(talking to her daughter)Accha ji!!Shona,dekho zara!!!!Aapke Papa kitne jealous ho rahe hain!!Papa na humesha jalte hain Mumma aur Princess ko saath mein dekh kar!!Par unhein kya pata,ki Shona toh Mumma se zyaada pyaar karti hai,hai na!!!

At this,Choti giggled which amused AkshAn...Guddan winked at Akshat at her victory while Akshat was making sad faces...He was about to leave,just then Choti held his coat with her tiny hands..She didn't want her Papa to go being sad..Akshat was surprised at this and looked at Guddan...Guddan nodded at him and assured him that his princess loves him a lot...She is not partial for her Mumma only!!After that,AkshAn kissed at both the cheeks of Choti and shared a perfect family moment...

After breakfast,everyone dispersed to their respective work while Choti and Aarav were with Daadi...Men were doing their work from home...While the ladies were busy in the kitchen..Just then,Guddan entered the kitchen to help her bahus...As soon as her bahus greeted her,Guddan and Saraswati came face to face..Seeing Saraswati at home in front of her eyes,Guddan remembered her bad deeds...She looked at her angrily..She completely ignored her and got busy in doing her work, though Saraswati tried to say something to her...Durga and Lakshmi could understand it completely and decided to change the environment of this unpleasant silence...Saraswati felt bad at this and left the place...

Lakshmi-(murmuring)Accha hua chali gayi!!Warna shayad Saasu Maa yahaan se chali jaati iski shakal na dekhne ke liye!!

Durga nodded at this and gestured her to not say anything further about this in front of Guddan...Lakshmi agreed..

Durga-Saasu Maa!!!Aapko pata hai humnein aapko kitna miss kiya!!Aap paas hokar bhi humare saath nahin thi...Yeh baat humesha khatakti thi humein!!

Lakshmi-Haan,Saasu Maa!!Aap ke bina kuch accha nahin lagta tha!!Yeh ghar bejaan ho gaya tha!!Bahut yaad aati thi aapki!!

Saying this,they both became emotional...Seeing this,Guddan gestured them to share a hug..They both ran to her and hugged her tightly..They both were crying..

Guddan-Are are!!Aap dono ro kyun rahi hain!!Ab toh hum aa gayein hain na!!Abhi kyun rona!!Jo ho gaya so ho gaya!!Bhul jayiye use!!Ab sab thik hai!!Aur ab na hum aapko chodke kahin nahin jaayenge!!Kahin bhi nahin jayenge!!Kabhi nahin!!(They parted)Abhi na rona band kijiye aap dono!!(wiping their tears)Humein na lunch banana hai sabke liye!!Chaliye!!Humari help kijiye!!Warna sabko bhukha rakhenge toh Lord Krishna naraz ho jaayenge humse!!

Durga and Lakshmi laughed at this...The Saas-Bahu trio began to make food for the lunch..They gossiped with each other..The kitchen was filled with their laughter...This scene was witnessed by Daadi...She sent a silent prayer to her Kanha to keep her family united and happy like this...Then she left from there happily...While Saraswati was feeling dejected witnessing this...She left from there silently..

The sons and Akshat were working together for an upcoming project..After they ended their discussion,soon they got engaged in their respective laptop..But Akshat get into thinking something...He decided to talk about this with his sons...Though he had consoled Guddan about killing Ganga-Avinash,but somewhere he was feeling guilty for his sons...He felt that injustice had happened to them!!

Akshat-Kishore,Vardaan!!Mujhe tum dono se kuch baat karni hai!!

Kishore-Ji,Papa kahiye na!!

Vardaan-Kya hua,Papa??Aap pareshaan lag rahein hain??

Akshat-(folding his hands)(emotionally)I am sorry!!Mujhe maaf kar do!!

Kishore and Vardaan-(holding his hands)Papa!!!Yeh kya kar rahein hain aap???

Akshat-Perhaps I couldn't be a perfect father to three of you!!Maine socha shayad tumhare liye apni zimmedaari ko pura karna hi mera farz hai!!Par main bhul hi gaya ki tumhein sabse zyaada zaroorat ek pita ke pyaar ki thi!!Shayad main woh nahin de paaya!!Aur ab jab saalon baad tumhare Pita wapas aayein toh,main unhein tumse dur kar diya!!I am really very sorry!!Mujhe pata hai tum dono kuch kehte nahin ho,par dard tumhein bhi hua hai!!Uss waqt mere aur Guddan ke paas koi raasta nahin tha iske alawa!!Ho sakte toh mujhe maaf kar dena!!Shayad apni beti ka baap bante bante apne beton ke saath nainsaafi karna pada mujhe!!Kitna ghatiya mazaak kiya kismat ne!!

Kishore -Aisa kuch bhi nahin hai,Papa!!Please don't apologize!!Aapne aur Guddan Maa ne kuch galat nahin kiya!!Uss waqt jo sahi tha aapne wahi kiya!!Humein toh sharam aati hai unhein apna pita kehte hue!!Na hi woh wapas aatein aur na hi hum sabko,specially aapko,Maa ko aur humari behen ko yeh sab sehna padta!!Pita kehlane ke layak nahin hain woh!!Aapne humare liye itna kuch kiya,aur uss baat ka ehsaanmand hone ke bajaye unhone aap hi ko dhokha diya!!Aap hi ki aulaad aapse cheenne ki koshish ki!!Aapne aur Maa ne unhein aur unki biwi ko maaf kiya,iss ghar mein jagah di,parivaar ka darja diya!!Par unhone kya kiya!!!Unki biwi ne Guddan Maa ki pregnancy ke waqt Choti ko unke kokh mein hi maarne ki koshish ki!!Phir bhi aap dono ne insaaniyat ke naate unhein dusra mauka diya!!Par woh kehte hain na,ki kuch log humdardi aur daya ke layak nahin hote!!!Dikhadi unhone apni asliyat!!Uske liye aapko guilty feel karne ki koi zaroorat nahi hai,Papa!!Woh isi ke layak the kyunki woh aapke gunahagaar the!!

Vardaan-Haan,Papa!!Aur please,yeh kabhi mat kahiyega ki aap humare liye acche pita nahin ban paayein!!Aap iss World ke best Papa ho!!Aapne jo humare liye kiya hai,woh iss duniya mein koi nahin kar sakta!!Hum toh bhul hi gayein ki aap humare Chachu ho,humein sirf yeh yaad raha ki aap humare Papa ho!!!Aapne aur Guddan Maa ne jo humare liye kiya hai na,woh koi nahi karta apno ke liye!!Hum bahut lucky hain ki hum aapke bete hain!!Please aisa kabhi mat sochiyega ki aapne humare liye kuch nahin kiya!!!Aap hi humare liye humara sab kuch ho!!Bas,baat khatam!!Abhi hum unke baare mein koi baat nahin karenge!!!

Akshat got emotional by this and he hugged his sons...The trio shared a perfect father-son moment...This scene was witnessed by Guddan,who got very happy seeing this..She was relaxed as she felt the burden of guilt ,that her heart was carrying till now,got released...She wiped her tears of happiness and left the place as she didn't want to disturb the father-son trio...

At night,Daadi was praying at the temple in front of Lord Krishna,closing her eyes...Akshat came there and saw her praying...He went to her,sat on his knees behind her and hugged her from back like a small kid...Daadi felt her Lalla's touch and opened her eyes..She smiled and caressed his head...

Akshat-Kya kar rahi hain aap yahaan???Itni raat ho gayi,neend nahin aa rahi???

Daadi-Kuch nahin,beta!!Bas Kanha se dil ki baat kar rahi thi!!Prarthana kar rahi thi!!

Akshat-Kya kaha aapne Kanha se???

Daadi-Saari baat!!!Dil ki khushi,gum,kashmakash,pareshaani....sab baanti maine Kanha se!!!

Akshat-(looking at her,being confused)Kashmakash!!!Kaisi kashmakash,Maa???

Daadi-Yahi ki kitni ajeeb kismat di usne mujhe!!!Teen beton ki Maa banne ka saubhaagya diya!!!Par use main thik se jee hi nahin paayi!!Mera bada beta iss ghar ko,apne parivaar ko pehle chodke chalagaya,bhaag kar!!Mere Chote bete ko mujhse durr rehna pada ek galat insaan ke dhokhe ke wajah se!!Aur Kanha ki leela toh dekh!!Mere dono beton ko mujhe lautaya bhi aur cheen bhi liya!!(emotionally)Uss dayan

Antara ne mere bacche ki jaan le li,use cheen liya humse!!Aur mere bade bete ne,mere dusre bete ki zindagi barbaad karne ki koshish ki,use uski khushiyaan cheenne ki koshish ki!!Apni patni ke saath milke mere Lalla aur meri Gudiya ki khushiyaan cheenne ki koshish ki!!(caressing his face)Lalla,tu yeh mat samajh ki main tujhe aur Guddan ko dosh de rahi hoon ki tum dono ne Avinash ki jaan le li yaa use mujhse cheen liya!!Tum dono ne jo kiya woh bilkul sahi kiya!!Apni aulad ki jaan bachane ke liye Maa-Baap ko jo karna chahiye waho kiya tumne,apna farz nibhakar apni bacchi aur apni jaan bachayi!!Bas dukh toh iss baat ka hai ki usne apne haath se hi apne liye kabar khod li!!Apne Chote bhai aur bhabhi ka ehsaanmand rehna toh durr ki baat,ulta unhi ko maarna chaha,unhi ki khushiyaan cheenni chahi!!Uski biwi ka pagalpan use bhi le dooba!!Aankh mund kar apni biwi ka saath deta raha,yeh jaante hue ki woh galat hai!!Jis tarah se maine apne bete ko khoya uss baat ka gum hai!Tum dono ne unn dono ko maaf kiya,parivaar mein jagah di,ghar mein jagah di par unhone kya kiya!!!!(after a silence of some moments,Daadi wiped her tears and continued)Toh kya hua agar Kanha ne mujhse mere teen beton mein se do bete cheen liye toh!!Unhone mujhe ek aisa beta diya hai jo ki dus beton ke barabar hai!!Jiske wajah se main din raat yehi dua karti hoon ki har Maa ko aisa hi beta mile,mere Lalla jaisa(caressing his face)!!!Aaj tak ek pal ke liye bhi tune mera saath nahin choda!!Apna farz nahin bhula!!Humesha meri har baat ka maan rakha,mujhse pyaar kiya,meri izzat ki,meri har iccha puri ki!!Maine Shravan Kumar ko nahin dekha,par maine tujhe dekha hai!!Pata nahin,kis janam mein kya poonya kamayein the,kya dharam kar kiye the,jo iss janam mein aisa beta aur aisi bahu mile hain mujhe!!Sarvgunasampanna!!!Main bahut kismat waali hoon,mere bacche!!!Sach mein!!Lalla,ek aur baat kehni thi mujhe tujhse!!!Abhi maine kuch der pehle jo sab tujhse kaha uske baare mein Guddan ko pata nahin chalna chahiye!!Warna woh khudko dosh degi!!Woh bhi ek Maa hai aur mera dard woh acche se mehsoos kar sakti hai!!!Main nahin chahti ki meri bacchi bewajah khudko kose!!

Akshat-(holding her hands)Maa,aap bilkul fikar mat kijiye!!Guddan ke saamne aainda inn baaton ka zikr nahin hoga,I promise!!(and to lighten her mood)Aur yeh kya senti baar lekar baith gayi aap haan!!Jo kuch hua use bhul jayiye!!Aur naye sire se shuruaat karte hain zindagi ki!!Aur mujhe na abhi ghar mein sirf khushi hi khushi chahiye sabke chehre par bas!!Aapko pata hai na aage tyohaar ka season aa raha hai!!Diwali,Dhanteras,Christmas,New year.....Humein apno ke saath tyohaar manana hai,jashn manana hai!!!Aur aap toh jaanti hain,yeh saal humare liye kitne special hain,specially for me and Guddan!!After all,yeh saare tyohaar meri princess ke pehle tyohaar honge!!Aur main chahta hoon ki meri princess apni life ke sabse pehle tyohaar apne parivaar ke saath,apne Mumma Papa ke saath dhoom dhaam se bilkul shaandaar aur anokhe tareeke se manaye!!!Main apne parivaar ko hasta khilkhilata dekhna chahta hoon,Maa!!Aise mein ghar mein yeh mayus aur utre hue chehre nahii dekhne mujhe!!!Samjhi aap!!(smiling)

Daadi-(smiling)Haan,Lalla!!!Mujhe bhi pata hai!!Main bhi chahti hoon ki Meri Gudiya Rani apne parivaar ke saath saare tyohaar khushi se manaye!!Par,Beta!!!(tensed face)Tu toh jaanta hai na!!Yeh Corona ne sabkuch rok ke rakha hai!!Na bahaar jaa sakte hain na kuch shopping wagera kar sakte hain!!Aise mein taiyaariyan kaise hongi!!Tyohaar kaise manega!!!Aur servants ko bhi toh naye kapde dene hain bonus ke saath!!Woh sab bhi kaise hoga!!!??

Akshat realised that his mother was saying correct...He didn't think about that problem!!The mother-son duo started thinking what to do!!Meanwhile,unknown to them,their entire conversation was overheard by Guddan,who was on her way to bring water from the kitchen after she made her daughter sleep...She was having mixed emotions listening to them..At last,upon overhearing their problem,she decided to do something as she didn't want her family's happiness to get spoiled due to this virus...Moreover,she also wanted to celebrate her daughter's first ever festivals with a lot of happiness...Suddenly,an idea came to the mind of our Jugaadu Guddan..She decided to execute it..Soon,she went to her room to sleep leaving Daadi and Akshat to spend some time together...
