Gauri: The Unborn Page #4

You feel so affectionate

when you see Shivani.

And you are scared to see me.

I wanted love, but Shivani

got the love.

I would think everyday,

maybe today...

...you will feel affectionate

towards me.

But that didn't happen.

Every time you adorned Shivani...

...you would put a 'bindi'

on her forehead.

You would celebrate

her birthday grandly.

You would pick her up

in your arms lovingly.

I would feel jealous of her.

I was in your womb for 3 months.

But I would fear everyday that

you might kill me today.

I would cry, but only God would

hear my teardrops fall.

Now I will do what you did with me.

In the next 3 days, I will

torture you the same way...

...give you the same

fear, that I got.

And on the third day, I

will take your Shivani...

...you dear daughter along with me.

Just 3 days.

Come on.

Where are we going?

Keep quiet dear, we are going home.

And Shivani, won't

you take her along?

Papa. Were you trying

to leave fooling me?

I told you, you cannot go

anywhere before 3 days.

No where.

Mama, did you hear that sound?

Papa, did you?

The sound of Shivani crying.

God.

Papa, go and see where Shivani is.

Go!

Go!

Shivani!

Shivani!

Mama.

Mama.

Mama!

Mama was scared! Mama was scared!

Mama was scared!

Mama was scared! Mama was scared!

Mama was scared!

Mama was scared! Mama was scared!

Mama was scared!

What happened papa.

Nothing... dear.

Then why are you standing here?

We...

I will warm the milk and bring it.

Yes.

Mama.

Mama, do you know what I saw today?

So small, no such a small bird.

It was in the nest.

It was very sweet.

They must have just born.

Where were they before that?

In the egg.

In such a small egg.

Yes, like I was here.

Go to your papa, dear.

"Two little gentlemen

sat on a wall..."

"One named Peter and

other named Paul..."

"Fly away Peter, fly away Paul..."

Papa, why aren't you

reading the paper?

I will tell you dear?

Look.

It is so, the bird,

the mother bird...

...it sits on the egg and hatches it.

And then the children come out.

Did I ask you?

Do one thing Ram Singh uncle...

- Call me Bheem Singh.

At least you call me Bheem Singh.

Fine, sorry.

Bheem Singh, will you

please leave now.

Deepu.

I don't know why, whenever

Shivani comes close.

It feels very strange.

It feels as if...

- She is not our Shivani.

I am very scared.

We are scared of our own child.

Mama.

What happened?

Roshni! What happened?

What happened mama?

Would you like to have an apple?

What happened?

Come.

Come.

Look what I have brought, cage.

Shivani will like it very much.

What has happened to Shivani?

Nothing.

What has happened to Shivani?

Why will anything happen to her?

I was saying that I have brought

a cage for Shivani.

I will go and give it to her,

she will like it very much.

Shivani!

Shivani, look what I

have brought for you.

Cage, why?

The birds that you liked

so much, take them along.

By separating them from

their mother, no!

No!

No matter.

By the way Shivani, when

are you going? - Where?

Won't you go back to

your home in Mumbai?

No Bheem Singh uncle, now

we will stay here.

This is our home.

No, no dear, you are

selling this house.

I wish I had won a lottery, then

I would have bought this house.

If I had bought this house...

...I would have completely

changed it.

Like, how would you have changed it?

What do you mean by how?

The yellow colour on the wall.

I would have coloured

it completely blue.

Just like the sky.

And the curtains, it wouldn't

have been white.

It would have been flowery

like my shirt.

I am telling the truth, dear.

And after that I would roam around

in the house proudly.

With pride.

Don't laugh.

It would seem like a king is coming.

O God!

O God!

O God!

Bheem Singh!

- Ghost!

What happened?

Ghost!

Please forgive me.

I will not buy any house here.

I will clean the house properly too.

What happened, Bheem Singh?

Don't do anything to me.

O God!

Mama!

Mama!

- Shivani!

Mama!

- Shivani!

Mama!

Papa!

Papa! Mama!

Mama!

Mama!

Papa!

Papa! Mama!

Mama!

Papa!

Shivani!

Mama!

Shivani!

That's it.

Here comes aunt's house.

Greetings sir, greetings madam.

Sir didn't tell me you are coming.

Where is Sudeep sir?

Hey Sudeep, Roshni!

You scared me on the phone.

What happened, Roshni?

- Nothing.

Come in, I will tell you.

Bheem Singh, bring the luggage.

No sir, the bush shirt flowers...

- Bheem Singh!

Keep the luggage in the guest room!

Come on.

- Yes.

What's the matter that

you called us suddenly

Hi Sam uncle.

- Hello dear.

My dear, my child how

are you my child?

I missed you dear.

Where were you dear?

I missed you so much!

A magical chocolate

for my little fairy.

Thank you.

- Showing magic to a magician.

What did you say?

- Nothing.

There are flowers on your veil,

you will understand everything.

Bheem Singh.

Yes.

Leave him.

My little girl, she has

been crying all the way.

Hello madam, she is your

mother and not her.

Sameer.

She was just laughing.

- What happened?

Both of you have gone mad?

Speak softly Sam, Shivani

will hear it.

Of course she will hear it.

And she should, so that she knows...

...how corrupt her parents

minds have become!

Sam... - I know Sam it is not

something to be believed!

But... but... we have seen it

with our own eyes.

What have you seen?

The swing disappeared in thin air.

Then Shivani disappeared.

And then they reappeared too.

Wow!

And then, that glass attacked!

This is the most ridiculous

thing I have heard.

But Sam, about Gauri... I

mean about the abortion...

...except for the 4 of

us and that uncle...

...no one else knew about it.

And Shivani didn't

even know about it.

Neena, even you have become

superstitious listening to them.

You really want me to believe...

...that the soul of a unborn

child is troubling them.

Sameer, I know it is difficult

to believe in it.

There is no explanation

to such things.

There is an explanation Roshni.

And it is a very simple explanation.

You come in this isolated

place for vacation.

Incidentally this is the place

where Roshni conceived...

...and both of you took the

decision of abortion.

All the things that papa said,

still echoes in your mind as guilt.

And what happens is hallucination.

Illusion! Delusion!

There is no reasoning for it.

What happened?

Diya.

Don't touch this, take this.

If this would have happened

with your child Sameer.

Then you would have believed in it.

Give me a break Sudeep.

Please.

Where is Diya?

Diya.

- Sudeep.

Sudeep what happened?

- Sudeep.

Sudeep, listen to me.

- Shivani!

Sudeep! Shivani! Sudeep!

Sudeep, what is all this nonsense.

They are children,

they must be playing.

Shivani!

Search her.

What happened? Shivani.

- Sudeep!

Sudeep!

- Shivani! - Diya!

You look there Sameer.

Shivani! Shivani! Shivani!

Shivani! Shivani! Shivani!

Diya.

Shivani! Shivani! Shivani!

- Diya!

Shivani! Shivani! Shivani!

Where is my child?
