Thursday On “Hello Pratibha”- Episodes 1- 3

The bridal dress and jewellery lie on the bed. A girl calls on Mahir to meet him. He asks Pratibha how he can, as they are leaving for wedding. She says it is so urgent, he must come to the roof. Mahir thinks for marrying, he has to climb the pipes as well. He climbs up, but was about to fall when Pratibha holds his hand. She thanks him, then tells him she can’t marry him. He is shocked, turn her to face him but she says she wants to do a lot in her life, how will she live this way. He asks if she is crazy, only 3 hours are left. She asks him to tell everyone, and not to take her name. He says he won’t do it, she says she will do it herself. He leaves angry and wonders what he will answer to his mother and friends. She laughs aloud, wearing his sunglasses and says it is so easy to make fool of him. He comes to her, she runs and enjoys.

The day of wedding is the most special day of ones life. Does this day become special for the girl only for this reason, no; but it is because of the husband standing besides one. A woman gets his love and the children’s bliss then, but it never remains always. Prathiba carefully goes from the bed, but Mahir gets up when the glass fells down. He asks why she is disturbing her. She prepares for all the necessary morning chores. She comes to Anmol, their son. He uploads his photo as soon as he wakes up, and when Pratibha stops him he says there are somethings other than kitchen in life.Rashi is Pratibha mother in-law. She comes to Pratibha and complains her about not getting tea. Pratibha says she went to temple, but Rashi complains and asks her to get one steamed. Pratibha brings the tea at once, but Rashi complains about the tea and asks Pratibha to leave.

Pratibha prepares the breakfast for all the house members, separately. She makes special roti for Mahir, with extra potato and extra spices. She prepares the table, and looks for Peehu. Peehu is on the roof with her Chachi ( aunt ). Peehu tells her Chachi that no one will get to know about it. Her chachi tells her to sign the approval, Peehu is Pratibha’s daughter but is more friend with chachi as she is cool. Pratibha comes to call Peehu, and dislikes her intimacy with Sunita. Sunita comes to help Pratibha, calls everyone getting credits for breakfast. She tells Pratibha she has to manage her boutique, home and a number of works. Mahir comes to the table, Pratibha serves his paratha. He enjoys it, but Rashi observes and asks who makes better paratha, his wife or mother. Mahir says he doesn’t want to give his mother pain in this age. The other brother ask Rashi to make something for him, but Rashi gets angry at this saying. She says this will further give rest to her daughter in-laws. Sunita gives her looks and Rashi is afraid of her. Pratibha listens to all the accusations without speaking up. Mahir leaves informing Pratibha he will be busy in meeting and leaves dryly. Shalu, her maid brings her a fresh paratha to eat for breakfast. Days will pass on like this, but till when. There is something wrong; she has lost the Pratibha who was full of life. She asked for love of her husband and children and got it. But then she forgot to ask, and now her family loves her only as per their own desire.

Their needs to be a change in the life, a change which must get all the dirt off her life. The school permission letter fly from wind and comes down. Pratibha wonders today is Peehu’s PTM. Shalu comes and Pratibha asks how did Peehu forgot to tell her father about it. Mahir is caught in meeting the whole day. Shalu asks her to go there. Pratibha says she has never gone to her school, she doesn’t know how to handle meetings. Shalu says she has attended schools in childhood. Pratibha is worried what if Peehu dislikes it. She thinks about going there, where she is to face a new truth of life. But that very truth will be giving her the courage for change.

At school, Peehu’s friends were excited to meet her mother. Peehu calls mom and runs to Sunita hugging her. She introduces her to her friends but the fact is that Pratibha’s daughter Pihu is ashamed of taking Pratibha to the parents meeting, so she asks her aunt Sunita instead. Pratibha appears from behind the wall and is shocked to see Peehu introducing her as her mom. She cries that these days must change, and she will be the one to change them.

Pratibha hides herself as Peehu comes with Sunita after meeting. Peehu thanks Sunita, Sunita says she will never let her down. Peehu tells her that her teacher asked her to bring her mom but her mummy doesn’t know how to behave in front of anyone, she would have been embarrassed in front of her students. Pratibha hears this all. Back at home, Peehu asks Shalu where her mother is as she and Sunita come home. Sunita laughs and says she must be in kitchen as it is her favorite place. Pratibha gets tea tray from kitchen, Shalu asks why didn’t Peehu come back home with her. Pratibha is quiet. Rashi comes and asks why she left her Anmol back there. Peehu says she is also her granddaughter, and she should think about her sometimes too.

Rashi says she has nothing like a granddaughter in her manners; and asks if she have ever put oil in her head or press her legs sometimes. She asks where are they both coming from. Peehu is worried, Sunita smiles and says she should relax, they both went somewhere and it is a secret between her and Peehu. She hands a chamarprash to Raashi. Raashi says she is the one who cares for her, else in the house no one ever listen to her. Sunita asks Pratibha to serve food soon as she is really hungry. Shaalu says she should scold Sunita as she is teaching Peehu to lie and should also tell everyone the truth, but Pratibha looks at Sunita and is quiet. She watches Peehu and Sunita hug each other, she moves towards them as she is hurt.

Meanwhile, Shalu gets ready for a fight, Pratibha comes to Peehu, Sunita looks up at her and stands to confront her. She asks what Didi (sister). Pratibha begins to say something when Raashi gets a cough. Pratibha asks if she should put pakori in the yogurt. Shalu regrets her action, Sunita says she should do anything she wants to and leaves. Anmol comes home busy with his cell phone. He falls on the floor as soon as he comes in. Rashi goes to help him, and scolds Peehu if she can’t come to his help. Anmol tells Daadi the story about a play in the school, it was about Peehu. He says one of the person asked the second to be what she wasn’t, the second agreed but with some condition like cleaning the room. Rashi says she doesn’t understand anything, but Anmol says he has taken a photo of someone red handed. Peehu takes Anmol inside, saying she will put medicine on his injury. Rashi curses Peehu for taking Anmol inside. In the room, Peehu runs after Anmol for mobile, he says he will tell everyone and share the photo on internet. Peehu make him quiet, and begs him not to tell anyone. She tells him that she will get him new headphones if he keeps it a secret.

She asks for Anmol’s mobile to delete the photo, he says first she should bring him headphones and should also go and clean chachi’s room. Peehu sets all Sunita’s clothes in wardrobe, and decorates her things. She goes to the dressing table, and drops a bottle on the floor. The baby wakes up and cries. She runs to him and asks her to sleep again, caressing her. She is worried that Sunita must not know he has waken up because of her. Pratibha comes calling Peehu into the room, she looks at Peehu for a while and comes to caress Bubu. She asks Peehu what she is doing here. Peehu says she was setting the room. Sunita comes there and says she has forbidden her so many times but she never listen to her. She points through Peehu eyes to leave. Peehu runs, Sunita comes calling Bubu and takes him in her lap. Bubu calls Pratibha to stay while Pratibha says at this time bari mama ( big mother ) is going to cook his favorite Sooji ki Kheer. Sunita goes to get so many toys for Bubu, Bubu says he needs bari mama only. Sunita asks Pratibha to look after him, and goes to get fresh. Pratibha plays with Bubu.

At night, Mahir comes and tells Pratibha that the vegetable is left in the lunch box. She asks if he didn’t like it. He didn’t reply and asks her to send tea for him in study.

Pratibha looks at the letter, she is unable to either say anything to her sister in-law or her daughter. She should just pour her anger by burning it, she is about to put it in the stove when Mahir calls her. She places the letter aside and gets the tea. He asks her to get his dress, she opens the wardrobe and gives it to him. He gets hold of her hand and asks what happened to her, that she brought saree instead of his kurta. She looks at it, and says she has just gone crazy. She takes his kurta to him. He asks if the aalu masala is left for evening, it is very tasty. She smiles in elation, and this is the best thing in the whole day for her. She comes out of the room very happy.

On the table, Pratibha serves food to everyone. Sunita whispers and asks Peehu if Didi (sister) knows about it. Peehu says she doesn’t know, and comes to Pratibha in the kitchen. She says sorry Didi, Peehu is insisting what she could do about it. She doesn’t know why Peehu didn’t want to take her. She says she can’t deny anything to Peehu, as she loves her like her own daughter and Peehu also loves her. Pratibha is still quiet, takes a jar from the kitchen cabinet and says that the elder are the first ever class of their children, whatever they do or become in life is because of the family. It isn’t the question that Peehu takes her along to PTM, the question rather is that she lied to her friends that someone else is her mother and she is with Peehu in that. Sunita remains shocked while Pratibha comes back to the table.

Sunita comes to the table where everyone is eating, cheerily. Her husband asks her to sit down as the kofta are so tasty. He praises Pratibha for the good cooking, Sunita looks at him without saying anything. Mahir says he always praise Pratibha but he is doing it a lot today. He tells Pratibha that today she went to Peehu’s PTM, and proved that she isn’t only the household woman and has other capabilities as well. The brother in-law also appreciates Pratibha, that up til now she looked after kitchen but now she will also be working in outer world. Sunita heard all this while still standing there. She tells Mahir that she has something to tell him. Sunidhi ( Sunita ) spills the beans in front of Pratibha’s husband and tells him that she had gone for Pihu’s PTM instead of Pratibha. Peehu at once hold her head while everyone look at each other.

Sunita looks at Pratibha’s face, she later goes on to portray herself to be the righteous one and Pratibha to be the wrong doer saying to Mahir that she thought Pratibha would at least tell him the truth but when she saw that she wasn’t telling him anything she felt bad. She thinks the elders must stand with the truth even in worse situations as well. Pratibha on the other hand is unable to control her tears in front of the family as she is ashamed. Sunita comes to ask Peehu but Pihu leaves the dining table and starts to cry. She comes across Rashi on the way, Rashi asks why is everyone so sad. Sunita smiles and says she will see Bubu who is just crying. She passes by Pratibha and whispers that she wanted to be truthful. Sunita’s husband says it wasn’t Pratibha’s fault, neither was Suniti or Peehu’s; but it was someone’s mistake for sure. He and Mahir leave the table.

Sunita (Sunidhi) comes to crying Peehu. Peehu complains that she didn’t expect this from her, but Sunidhi once again uses her cunning mind to brainwash Pihu against her mother saying that she went to talk to her mother but she didn’t listen. She got her PTM paper and handed it to her father. Peehu stand up and wipes her tears. She says she is right and that her mother took revenge from her because she didn’t let her to come for PTM. She apologizes to Sunita, as she misunderstand her wrong. Sunita (Sunidhi) hugs her and smiles victoriously while Pihu is more angry with her mother, Pratibha. Pratibha comes out from the kitchen, nervous. She looks at her room door, and moves towards it nervously. She turns but then heads to come in. Mahir opens the door and asks hasn’t she been extraordinarily late to come to the room. He calls Pihu aloud.

Sunita cheers that today there will be a big drama. Peehu comes to the room. Mahir asks why she didn’t take her mother there. Peehu explain to her father that her mother never have an experience of going to a PTM and she don’t want to be embarrassed in front of her friends. Pratibha interferes, Mahir tells Peehu that tomorrow her mother will go with her to school and will clarify that Sunita (Sunidhi) isn’t her mother but Pratibha is. He is firm in his decision and turns around. Peehu runs to the room while Pratibha keeps on stopping her. She comes to Mahir and later when, Pratibha tries to speak to her husband and tries to reason with him that she knows Peehu did wrong. But if she goes to her school this way, there will be a drama, she gets scolded by him as Mahir says it is because of her that Peehu feels ashamed of taking her to school. Her husband goes on to tell her that her attitude is the reason behind Pihu’s neglecting behaviour towards her. He gets her in front of the mirror and tells her to look at herself, asks if he marry this woman. He demands that Pratibha fix this that she is going to the school and tell everyone she is Pihu’s mother.

Pratiba comes to Peehu who is crying and later tries to offer food to Pihu, saying that she can at least eat food, even if she doesn’t want to talk to her. But Pihu behaves extremely rude with her mother saying does she think about anything else than eating, she cries that she has created a big problem for her. Pratibha says she doesn’t know how her father got that PTM paper. She assures Peehu that she will make everything well tomorrow. Peehu cries and is worried what will happen tomorrow. Pratibha assures her that she will talk to her father, and if he doesn’t agree she will come to her school and talk to her principal. She then asks what reason could it be that she had to take her Chachi to school. Pihu shouts that these excuses won’t work, and asks her to leave her alone. Sunita cheers that it will be fun if Pratibha goes to Peehu’s school. Pratibha leaves the food on the table. Peehu packs her bag, Anmol comes and teases her for getting scolded. He updates his status that his sister got hit. Peehu holds Anmol’s hand and she had bag in her hand. Anmol asks what is in it, and goes behind her. Peehu warns him to leave, else she will hit him. He leaves still teasing her. Peehu watches the bag.

Pratibha is dusting the table and thinks what Mahir had told her last night that, if he had married such a girl which she has become. Bubu comes to her and says he needs his big mom. Having no other option, Pratibha once again goes to Bubu asking she needs Bubu too, and pours her heart out in front of the little kid asking if he likes his big mother. Why doesn’t anyone else at home like her, does he also dislike her manners. Why she isn’t liked by everyone else then. Bubu says he likes her.

In the morning, Mahir tells Pratibha to go to the school, and Sunita will look after the kitchen. The husband asks Sunita that she is hungry, Sunita goes to the kitchen in a bad mood.
