10 years later:
Sagar went to Dehradun first and then to London. Gangaa is stil waiting for Sagar’s return. She is doing B.A. She tops in Banaras. She thinks of Sagar whenever she wins any prize.
Mehri calls out for Gangaa. Maharaj ji tells her to wait. She will come. She has never skipped the morning bath since Amma ji has asked her to keep fasts.
Gangaa takes bath in the Ganga river. Gangaa talks to her friend (Pooja) about Aaradhya (those who we worship). My Aaradhya is only Sagar. Later, she puts vermilion in her maang/forehead when no one is looking her way. She hides it under her hairs. Gangaa asks Kanha ji (goddess) when her Sagar will be back? For how long will Pooja continue to question me? For how long will I put vermilion in my head like this? When Sagar comes back, this Pooja will also understand that our relation is just likes yours.
Gangaa finishes her prayer and leaves with Pooja. Pooja can see that Gangaa loves Sagar with all her heart. But I worry for you. Sagar is in abroad. He might have changed. Gangaa smiles at her. You worry too much for me. She tells Pooja about her relationship with Sagar. Pooja tells her to ask Sagar directly if he loves her or not? Gangaa says we both know it already. Jalebi Prasad barks. Gangaa corrects Pooja. Sagar suggested I call him JP. She plays with JP. A few men look wrongly at her. Gangaa notices their stare. She directly asks them if they come here to tease girls? Should I call the inspector and get you arrested? They leave from there fearfully. Pooja says you haven’t changed at all. Gangaa says I have learnt it from my Bappa and Sir to never be scared of injustice. She hears the sound of conch. It is 9:30am.
Maharaj ji and Mehri hope Gangaa comes soon. She only advises them what is to be done in the kitchen and the other work. Niru calls out for Gangaa. She still isn’t home. Raghav ji tells Niru about his schedule for the day. Maharaj ji gives tea to Niru. Gangaa and JP comes just then. Gangaa guides Mehri on what clothes are to be washed now. Gangaa next reprimands Niru for eating parathas. Niru remembers the young Gangaa telling him the same thing. Gangaa takes the plate away. She next questions Maharaj ji. Maharaj ji says Niru was asking for tea. Niru gulps down the tea quickly. Gangaa scolds Maharaj ji for giving Niru tea. Sir has diabetes. He shouldn’t drink all that. Now he will have to drink bitter gourd juice. Raghav ji laughs. Niru murmurs that Gangaa will not let him eat anything good. Gangaa checks the key points of today’s case. There are 4 spelling mistakes. Niru asks Gangaa why she doesn’t speak in English when she knows it so well? She says she isn’t proficient in speaking it. I will speak when Sagar is back. Raghav ji is irked with Gangaa, but she brings a smile on his face. I have to study LLB after BA. Madhvi calls out for Gangaa. She tells Niru she has informed them in his office not to give him tea with sugar. Niru smiles. The storm in the house continues even in times when Gangaa is in the house and not!
Gangaa recalls what all Madhvi had instructed her. Madhvi gives her the storeroom keys. You only handle them now. I don’t want to get in all this. Gangaa is surprised. Madhvi says I want to rest. You should look after this! Gangaa looks at the key in her hand. She realises she is late. Amma ji will do prayer now.
Amma ji mutters about Gangaa. On the other hand, Gangaa too is saying the same dialogues to herself. She remembers them all too well. Amma ji talks about widow life. A widow’s one day equals to a year. Gangaa corrects her. I am not a widow. Amma ji recalls what happened 10 years ago. Gangaa goes away on the pretext of doing some work. Amma ji is confused at her words. Sagar put vermilion in her maang/forehead in childhood. Is she still thinking about it? No, she has been denying her truth (of being a widow) since beginning. It was a game of childhood. Gangaa isn’t foolish to accept it as the truth. I am wrong to think so!
Gangaa talks to JP. It wasn’t a game. I was right in saying I am no widow. She isn’t mistaken. She doesn’t know I still put vermilion of Sagar’s name in my maang/forehead. Sagar will tell me when he will be coming back himself. She shows the keys to JP. I got all the responsibilities. Now I will put it in my saree and walk with pride, just like Madam (Madhvi).
Pulkit is repairing something. He is calling someone side by side. Gangaa teases him. You get so restless when Saloni doesn’t pick your Call. Call her later. Pulkit replies that he has called her 25 times already. No reply. Gangaa talks to him about his work. Pulkit replies he is only trying. I hope I succeed this time or Papa will taunt me again. She shows off her keys to him. I only need a key ring for it. I will walk proudly then. She walks before him in a similar manner. He laughs seeing her thus. Gangaa requests Pulkit to make her talk to Sagar. I have to tell him I got all the responsibilities of the house. It is Pulkit’s turn to tease her now. Is this the only reason to talk to Sagar? She looks for excuses. I have to ask about his exams? Pulkit shows her his watch. She knows about the time difference already. He promises to make her talk to Sagar soon. I have got something for you. She drops the keys in shock.
Gangaa picks up the keys. He shows her a photoshopped pic of her, Sagar and Pulkit. He agrees to give her a printout of the same.
Mumbai:
A pool party is going on. A girl (Janvi) talks about Sagar (her boyfriend). He is carefree and loves to give surprises. Sagar takes the mic. You forgot to tell them that I am unpredictable. No one knows when I will do something. He calls for everyone’s attention! He speaks about dreams. The party starts.
Gangaa looks at the photo in her room. She cuts Pulkit from the pic. She takes only her and Sagar’s pic. She speaks to Sagar’s photo. It’s been so many years we haven’t seen each other. Now these photos aren’t enough. Come soon to your Gangaa!
Sagar meets his friends. People compliment his idea of a pool party. Lucky (at whose house the pool party
is going on) joins his friends. Janvi took a selfie with Sagar. She stops her friend from standing with them. Only Janvi looks good with Sagar.
At home, Gangaa too says a similar thing. Only Gangaa looks good with Sagar!
Sagar checks the date. His joining date is 7th Jan. He will be going to Banaras for a month after which he will go to London. Sagar asks Janvi to come to London as well. She likes the idea. Janvi’s friend asks them about marriage? Sagar laughs hearing it. Janvi and I are trying to understand each other. There is time to plan for the future. It is a big decision. We cannot decide in a haste. I anyways live in the present. Janvi forces a smile. Sagar is not so sure about marriage and the love stuff. Janvi asks him what if she has to decide now? Sagar talks about his dream job. It is waiting for me in London. I don’t want to think of anything else. I want to spend some time with my family and then go to London. She says I was kidding. He is relieved.
Gangaa is in the balcony. The photo falls off from her hands. She runs bare footed downstairs to get it.
Two guys notice Janvi. They go to talk to her. Janvi extends her hand as they greet her. They talk to her on useless things. They ask her for a dance. You would be having 10 boyfriends in London. It is all so common there. Why do you act all simple here? She tells them to get lost! Janvi tells everything to Sagar. He says you should have given it back to them. If Gangaa was here, then she would have thrown them in the pool by now. She reminds him that she is Janvi. You are the cool Sagar, who isn’t scare of anyone. She takes him to the guys. Sagar says I will handle it.
The guys talk badly to Janvi as she stands afar. One of them pushes Sagar. What will you do? Sagar stands on a chair as he asks everyone to come closer. Everyone walks closer. Sagar asks them all to make a video. The video we will record now will be viral on the net. These 2 guys will say sorry to Janvi. Janvi asks Sagar to teach a lesson to both the guys! She leaves from there. The guys refuse to say sorry to Janvi. They too go away.
The photo falls in a fire. Gangaa looks at it in shock.
Sagar beats one of the guys. Janvi is upset with Sagar for not doing anything to those guys. Sagar asks that guy about his friend? It is important to teach you how to respect girls. I am a Judge’s son so I cannot leave criminals. I had to make sure the party is on. Will you trouble any girl from today onwards? One guy says all the girls are my Sisters from today onwards. Sagar speaks about what Gangaa says. One should do one good deed in a day. I have done my bit for the day.
Janvi is looking for Sagar in the party. He comes just then. She is angry with him for not teaching a lesson to those guys. Lucky shows a video to Janvi in which he has beaten those guys. She runs to give him a hug.
Gangaa pulls out the pic out of the fire. It is a bit burnt from the sides. She looks worriedly at the photo. Where are you Sagar?
Gangaa pulls the pic out of the fire. It is a bit burnt from the sides. She looks worriedly at the photo. Where are you Sagar? We are best friends. This is why we love and understand each other so well. We don’t need words. This thing only has bound us in an unbreakable bond.
Sagar gets hiccups. Who is thinking of me? Janvi says I will take everyone’s name one by one. The moment your hiccups stop, that is the person who is thinking of you. Sagar takes Gangaa’s name. The hiccups stops. Janvi looks uncomfortable. His friends ask about Gangaa? Sagar shares that Gangaa is his best / sweetest friend. His friends ask him if it means love? Sagar’s friends tease Janvi. Sagar denies it. She is my best friend. We have been very close since childhood. It is impossible for me to think like that.
