Jab They Met !

Ahmedabad Central Jail ( 10AM )

Post the wedding of Raahi and Prem, Anupamaa being free from all her responsibilities and priorities got herself busy in her catering service completely.

And the very next order post the Wedding she got was of the Catering to be done for the prisoners and staff members of "Ahmedabad Central Jail" so to finalise and check all the necessary details before signing the contract, Anupama visited the Police Station herself.

"Theek chee Enspecter Sahab [ Inspector ] main kal se hi apna katering [ Catering ] ka kaam shuru kar dungi... Main aur meri teem [ Team ] Kal subah 8 baje hi aajayege. Woh pakwan shuru karne se pehle tayariyoon main waqt lagega ne.. Ok che ?" said Anupamaa while signing the Contract finally smiling professionally.

"Ok No problem Mrs Kapadia... meri team aapki poori madat kardegi catering ka kaam start karne main.." replied the on duty Inspector, Inspector Vishal while taking the Contract Papers from Anupamaa smiling professionally too.

"Aap agr chahe toh phir se humare cooking area check karsakti hain taaki aap pehle se hi decide karsake ki kab aur kaise kya karna hain.. aur aapku kal ka menu bhi bata diya jayega wahi pe." continued the Inspector while intercoming a sub constable at cooking area immediately.

Anupamaa on the other hand nodded her head positively thanked the Inspector before leaving the cabin sighing deeply.

"Thank You Kanha Ji aapne sab kuch acche se karwa diya haa..main toh bekaar main darr rahi thi bolo.." spoke Anupamaa all to herself while folding her hands and thanking Kanha Ji for his help sounding relieved.

"Abb fata fat cuking [ Cooking ] area dekhkar aur meenu [ Menu ] lekar ghar ke liye nikalti hu ha. Baa aur Bapuji ke dawai ka waqt bhi horaha hain aur bahoot saari tayariyaan bhi toh karni hain ne kal ke liye," talked Anupamaa all to herself yet again while planning and executing her schedule for today for tomorrow's big day excitedly.

Soon Anupamaa reached the cooking area and with the help of the Sub Constable present there for duty got herself very clear about her execution for tomorrow's cooking smiling widely.

"Thank U haa Bhai.. Aap fikr mat kariye haa main kal ka khaana acche se pakaogi aur khilaogi bhi.." conveyed Anupamaa to the sub constable thanking him for his help assuring him for tasty food tomorrow smiling confidently.

"Ek kaam kyu nhi karti aap Anupamaa Ben, aap apne bartane, pateele aur jo kuch bhi samaan hain jo kal use hoge woh aaj hi yaha rakh wa dijiye aapku kal ke liye asaani hogi aur aapka time bhi bach jayega..." advised the Sub Constable smiling warmly.

Anupamaa on the other hand thinking about the advice and the words of the Sub Constable, agreed and dialed up one of her team member instructing her about the plan dedicatedly.

30 Minutes Later

It's been 30 minutes since Anupamaa had informed her team about her plan. Since the utensils were heavy and more in quantity, the arrangement of transportation was taking some time and Anupamaa having no option stayed back in the station waiting for her team members to arrive patiently.

"Beta yeh Radha Krishna ki locket kaha si li tumne ? Bahut saras che..." asked one of the Lady Prisoner eyeing Anupama's locket admiringly.

"Woh yeh mere Pati ne di hain mujhe humare sagai ke din Maa Ji. Aisa hi ek looket [ Locket ] unke gale main bhi hain. Yeh hum dono ki sagai ki looket hain. Aksar Sagai main Dulha Dulhan angoothiya [ Rings ] dete hai ek dusre ko per maine aur mere Anuj ne ek dusre ko yeh Radha Krishna ki looket dene ki sochi bolo.." smiled Anupamaa widely holding the locket in her palm reminiscing Anuj cheerfully.

"Bahut saras chee Beta.. Waise karte kya hain tumahre Pati ?" asked the Lady ahead casually.

The question made Anupamaa stand blank and frozen. She for a moment wasn't able to answer the question of the old Lady infront of her staring her speechlessly.

She inspite of being wife of Anuj Kapadia herself wasn't aware about the where abouts of her own husband since last 20 year's and the fact that Anuj has left her all of a sudden breaks her every second but this time learning from her past mistakes and stupidities Anupamaa this time kept full faith on her Kapadia Ji and her Love for her Anuj too kept on increasing with the each passing minute ignoring all the negative taunts and statements from others every day.

"Woh ek bahoot bade beeshnesh [ Business ] Man hain Maa Ji. Bahoot bade vyapaari hain woh lekin kuch samay se unka woh vyapar band padha hua kisi wajeh se. Pata nhi kab unka vyapaar shuru hoga phir se aur phir kabse woh se raj karege duniya pe." replied Anupamaa sadly with few tears welling up in her eyes emotionally.

"Fikr mat kar Beta.. Sab theek hojayega.. Kanha Ji hain na woh sab theek kardenge.." consoled the old Lady keeping her palm on Anupamaa's head blessing Her genuinely.

While Anupamaa smiled feeling overwhelmed. She wiped off her tears while thanking the old Lady shifting her gaze towards the back of a Man all of a sudden who kept fighting with someone furiously.

"Maa Ji...hain kaun yeh Aadmi ? Usse dekh kar lagta hain ki woh ghusse main kisi cheez ko lekar..." questioned Anupamaa trying to get the clear vision of the long haired Man curiously.

"Pata nhi Beta woh kaun hain.. 20 saal hogaye usse yaha iss Jail main aake per aaj tak uska naam aur pata kisi ko bhi nhi pata. Bas yeh Police wale hi jaante hain ki yeh kaun hain. Na uss Aadmi ne kabhi hume bataya ki woh kaun hain, kaha se aaya hain aur kis jurm main usse saza mili hain aur na humne kabhi zaroorat samjhi usse poochne ki. Bas jiss din se aaya hain uss din se yeh bahut hi khamosh aur chidchida sa rehta hain hum sab se. Jab dekho jab bas kisi na kisi se jhagda karte rehta hain." replied the Lady making annoyed faces staring the Man irritatedly.

Where as Anupamaa frowns confusingly and an unknown pang hits her heart trying to see the Man clearly being all curious and anxious.

"Khair tum chodo usse Beta. Tum jao aur apna kaam karo jo karne aayi ho. Abb toh tum hume roz yaha dhikhogi toh aaj nhi toh kal tumhe uske baare main pata chal hi jayega." said the Lady ahead bringing back Anupamaa from her curious land smiling warmly.

Anupamaa while on the other hand nodded her head positively and marched towards the other direction to call her team mate still turning back frequently gazing the Man's back restlessly and anxiously.

1 Hour Later

Finally after an hour of wait and patience, the team mates of Anupamaa were in the Ahmedabad Central Jail with the utensils and other necessary items needed for tomorrow's big day.

Everyone were all busy in doing their own work along with helping eachother in arranging the utensils at their correct places sincerely and honestly.

While Anupamaa was check listing the Items and Utensils brought from their Catering Company for their easy reference in keeping the record of the Utensils and items they have brought in the Jail.

"Aahhh !!!" yells Anupamaa all of a sudden feeling a sudden pull and a knife around her neck from back by a Man shockingly.

The book and the pen held in the hands of Anupamaa fell in no time in the ground and she held the hands of the Man sweating profusely. Her hands shivered and her body trembled due to utmost fear and panick shocking each and every one present there.

"Doorr Doorrr... mere khareeb matt aana tum log warna main iss Aurat ka gala kaat dunga... doorrr.." said the Man while moving backwards with Anupamaa in his trap while keeping the knife on Anupamaa's neck and then showing it to the Police Men simultaneously warning them fearlessly.

The environment inside the Jail tuned all horrified and the Prisoners present there gathered scattered fearing immensely.

"ANUJ !!" whispered Anupamaa in utmost fear while closing her eyes and remembering Anuj and their beautiful moments for the one last time smiling widely.

She then remembered Choti Anu's journey right from her entry in their lives to the recent occasion of her marriage feeling nostalgic and overwhelmed. She tried her best to rescue herself but feeling weak infront of the powerful Man behind her, She prayed for her to meet with her Anuj atleast after her death crying silently.

"Aahhh.." yelled the same Man feeling a knife on his Neck leaving Anupamaa's Neck and dropping His knife in a go all shocked and panicked.

While Anupamaa jerked infront holding her Neck coughing severely.

"Jab koi Insaan kisi jagah ke hisab se tayar na ho na toh usse waha aana nhi chahiye." said the same long haired Man whom Anupamaa saw few minutes ago throwing the attacker criminal towards the Police Men staring Anupamaa sternly and emotionlessly.

Anupamaa on the other hand averted her Face towards the long haired Man and stood there all shocked. The floor beneath her slipped and her Eyes welled up widening Her Eyes seeing the Man numbly.

Soon the Man left passing by the shocked Anupamaa leaving her all terrified and blank.

2 Hours Later

Anupamaa post the few seconds confrontation with the long haired Man immediately rushed towards the cabin of the Inspector and requested him to meet the Man urgently. Inspite of several requests and begging Anupamaa still had faced continuous rejection from the Inspector keeping the rules and policies of the Jail authorities.

But still Anupamaa being stubborn and curious to meet the Man had finally got the permission from the authorities after a long wait of 2 Hours post several requests and begging.

"ANUJ !!!" whispered Anupamaa slowly yet only audible to the Man, who stood inside the criminal cell staring stars blankly.

While Anupamaa stood right out of the criminal cell holding it's bars crying silently. Tears continuously flowed from her eyes and her lips shivered wanting to call out Anuj's name again and again after years. Her hands too trembled and craved to hold her Anuj's palms in her hands like before. Her arms cried loudly as well to get engulfed in the rough and tough yet secured arms of her Kapadia Ji feeling miserable.

"Aaannujjj.. Main jaanti hu yeh aap hi hai. Haine ne ? Kuch toh boliye ne Anuj.. Kya hua hain ? Aap yaha kaise ? 20 saal Anuj... 20 saal hogaye hain aapke bina..." said Anupamaa being all emotional staring at Anuj sadly.

While the Man still stayed all quite and stood there in same position facing his back towards Anupamaa even now sternly.

"Anuj dekhiye agar abb aapne kuch bhi nhi bola ne toh main yahi khadi rahugi... Kahi nhi jaogi jab tak aap mujhse baath nhi karte.." conveyed Anupamaa yet again but this time being all stubborn and dominating glancing the Man firmly.

"ANUJ ! Boliye ne kuch toh... Aapko aapki Choti aur humare Pyaar ki kasam kuch toh boliye.." fired Anupamaa having no option using Her masterstroke helplessly.

Whereas the Man folded his palms fisting it tightly still staring the Stars blankly and emotionlessly. Anupamaa too on the other hand kept staring the Man crying silently still waiting for the response from Man hopefully.

"Ma'am aapka milne ka waqt khtm hogaya hain.. Please chaliye yaha se.." interrupted one of the lady constable requesting Anupamaa to leave the spot immediately.

"Ekach minute haa.. Pleajjj Ekach minute Ben.. Yeh mere Anuj hain.. mere Pati.. Main jaanti hu ne.. Pleajjj.." requested back Anupamaa too folding her both palms infront of the lady constable crying bitterly.

"Nhi Ma'am please chaliye yaha se aap. Aapku itna bhi time mila hain milne ke liye wohi bahut hain. Warna hum usually iss Jail main kisi ko milne nhi dete. Yeh dusre thaane ki tarah koi normal thaana nhi hain jo aap kisi se bhi jab chahe tab mil sakti hain. Yeh Ahmedabad Central Jail hian jaha woh log rehte hain jiska jurn saabit hogaya ho aur unse milna utna asaan nhi hain. Phir bhi aapku itna bhi time mila woh bhi jab ka jab woh hi bahut badi baath hain. Isiliye abb chaliye aap.." ordered the lady constable dragging already crying Anupamaa along with her harshly following Her rules and orders sternly.

Where as Anupamaa kept yelling and screaming out Anuj's name crying bitterly. She tried her best to rescue herself from the tight grip of the lady constable while getting dragged but getting miserably failed, She frequently turned and kept staring the same long haired Man's back restlessly.

Finally Anupamaa left without any option and the Man finally turned towards the criminal cell staring the retreating figure of crying Anupamaa blankly.

Kothari Nivas

After leaving the Ahmedabad Central Jail, Anupamaa somehow reached the Kothari Nivas all devastated. Her Face was all pale and small due to continuous crying in happiness for getting Her Anuj back, but unfortunately Her happiness over powered Her sadness witnessing Her Anuj not recognising Her at all. Her Eyes were swollen up due to non stop crying turning it all Red and blank.

She with trembling steps entered inside Kothari Nivas scanning the entire Kothari Nivas for Her daughter Raahi desperately. While both Shah Family and Kothari Family were already present chit chatting with Moti Baa and Parag Kothari casually.

"Arrey Baa dekhiye Anu Maa aagayi..." informs Ansh as soon as He sees Anupamaa standing at the entrance of Kothari Nivas searching for someone silently.

Everyone turned and were shocked seeing Anupamaa in such a state worriedly. Her Hair were all messy with Her Hair strands peeping out of Her Bun messily. Her Saree was not pinned properly with Her Pallu half touching the ground.

"CHOTI... CHOTI... Kaha hain tu Meri Bebli..." calls out Anupamaa loudly searching for Raahi excitedly and happily.

While Shah Family including Kothari Family all were shocked seeing Anupamaa yelling out manaicly. Shah Family was shocked and confused thinking why is Anupamaa calling out Raahi with Her old name all of a sudden, while Kothari Family were confused and shocked thinking who is Anupamaa calling out in their House.

Soon Raahi comes out and is shocked seeing Her Mummy in such a vulnerable state rushing towards Her immediately. Her Heart too skips a beat hearing She being called out as Choti after Years.

"Mummy... Mummy... Kya hua hain aapku ? Aur yeh sab ? Kaise hui aapki aisi halat ? Aur yeh Khoon " cries Raahi being all shocked as soon as She reached near Her Mummy holding Her both Arms and witnessing Blood oozing out from Her Mummy's Neck continuously.

"Choti... Choti.. Woh... Aaannujjj... Tere Paappaaa..." murmured Anupamaa slowly yet audible to each and everyone in the Hall fumbling restlessly.

Raahi on the other hand hearing something about Her Papa stood  frozen on Her Feet all stunned. Tears welled up in Her Eyes turning all blank and speechless.

"Haa Mummy boliye... Kya ? Anuj Papa kya ?" speaks Prem understanding the situation of Raahi responding immediately.

"Wohh.. Aanujj... Mere Kaapaadiiaa Ji waha.. woh.." speaks Anupamaa slowly yet again while rising Her Fingers and pointing towards the exit of the Kothari Nivas feeling weak.

And before She could continue or speak anything, Anupamaa looses Her senses falling in the Arms of Raahi all pale. Where as all others stood there shocked and blank staring each other confusingly and numbly.
