PS: Continuation of the last one.

-----------------------------------------------------------

Anubhav who looked at Gungun's action was quite much taken aback, and specially after hearing Maya he was more doubtful if Gungun had any connections with science which was ruined?

Whereas Maya who was standing outside, made her way inside while Gungun looked at the project she made and then at Maya as Maya spoke up yet again, "Btao, kahin phir se interest toh nahi aagya tumhara science mein?"

"Interest usme aata hai jisme ya toh khatam hua ho ya kabhi hua hi nahi, and mera interest Science mein vapis kaise aasakta hai jab voh khatam hi nahi hua ho? Who knows better then you, ki Science aur mera kya connection hai!" said Gungun sarcastically.

Maya looked at Gungun rolling her eyes as she said, "I am your Mom, maine jo kiya tumhare ache ke liye kiya!"

That's it, Gungun lost all her calm composure, as she was sitting on the ground, she ended up throwing the cushion somewhere as she got up, with the anger flowing down her veins, and tears of anger gushing down her eyes when she spoke up in the most sarcastic voice, while clapping her hands, "Ache ke liye kiya!? Aapne mera career mere ache ke liye barbaad kiya?"

The Kulshresths looked at Gungun bewildered, thinking what she meant while somewhere Anubhav already knew what was she saying, when Gungun yelled, "Aisehi maine aapke pyaar aur Science ko compare nahi kiya Doctor Maya! Aap imagine bhi nahi krsakte, ki mere 10th ka result, kitna unfortunate tha mere liye! Maine Top kiya tha, sirf ek class mein nahi, sabhi classes mein! Mere paas option tha, science pursue krne ka, mera interest pursue krne ka! Lekin! Thanks to my fate, ki meri us Parents Teacher Meeting pe aap gyi thi, jisne mujhe science nahi leni di! Mera sapna tod diya!"

The Kulshresths weren't clearly able to say anything, they didn't knew that a Mom could stoop this low, to play such tactics on her daughter as Gungun added, "Sabko B.A fail ladki dikhti hai, lekin kisiko kabhi voh topper kyun nahi dikhi!? Aapne Papa ko yeh tak nahi pta lagne diya ki maine top kiya hai! Aapko kya lagta hai, ki main B.A top nahi krsakti? Main krsakti hoon Doctor Maya!"

Gungun took a deep breath as she looked up and said with a sigh of disappointment, "Ek galti huyi Doctor Maya..."

Maya had a grin on her face when she heard that Gungun made a mistake and would apologize, while the Kulshresths weren't able to comprehend when Gungun said, "Aapka mere liye aur mera science ke liye pyaar kabhi compare nahi kiya ja sakta, kyun aapka mujhe chodna choice thi aur mera science chodna compulsion."

"And, choice and compulsion are poles apart Doctor Maya, only if you knew it! Please leave! Jaiye yahaan se!" yelled a furious Gungun as Maya looked at her as she said, "Main yahaan se ja rhi hoon but remember, tumhari wedding tak main yahin hoon."

Maya left from there with her attitude while Gungun turned to face the Kulshresths again, this was another thing which she hid for so long. Turning to them, she passed them a tired sigh, she was so done with Maya, that she didn't even wanted to say anything about her anymore, she hadn't lost all her interest in Science, but now she didn't wanted to pursue it anymore, her past forced her to do what she's doing today.

Gungun gave the Kulshresths a bright smile, who were looking worried for her as Charudatt enquired, "Gungun, beta tum thik ho?'

"Mujhe kya hoga Bade Papa? Main toh perfect hoon!" came an instant reply from Gungun with a bright smile.

While everyone looked at Gungun with a look which said, 'we know you aren't, now tell us what happened', while Gungun sighed as she said, "Thik hai, sab btaungi, but pehle aap log beth jaiye, then I will start. Kaafi lambi story hai..."

Everyone got seated in the hall on couches and the youngsters in floor, including Anubhav as Gungun took a deep breath and started, "Mujhe bachpan se hi science bohot pasand thi, science aur mera ek different sa connection raha hai. Sirf ek sapna tha mera, Scientist ban-ne ka, apna career pursue krne ka. Main apne school mein ek all rounder thi, mujhe us time sirf do chizen pasand thi, Science aur Gymnastics."

Gungun looked up to see their reactions as she continued, recalling the old days with a sad smile, "But you don't get everything you want, ek insaan ki har chahat puri nahi hosakti, meri bhi nahi huyi. Meri 2 wishes incomplete reh gyi, voh 2 wishes Jo mere liye sabse zaada matter krti thi...."

The Kulshresths looked at her, asking her to continue, as a tear rolled down Gungun's cheeks when she said, "Perfect family and Scientist. Yeh 2 sabse badi wishes thi meri, and dono hi incomplete reh gyi..."

The Kulshresths now realised what everything meant, what made her stubborn, as Gungun continued honestly, "Doctor Maya ne mujhe science pursue nahi krne di, meri life ki sabse important day pe, unhone mera support nahi kiya, and mera studies mein se interest chala gya. Only thing I am left with is gymnastics. Doctor Maya ko lagta hai unhone mera interest khatam krdiya, main science se ab connected hi nahi hoon, but she forgot, ki mere paas phones hain, technology access krne ka power hai, sab kuch hai! I am still surrounded with Science, but the thing is, ki ab main scientist nahi ban sakti, infact ab main voh ban-na nahi chahti, cause mujhe ab apne aap ko, apni essi field mein prove krna hai!"

The Kulshresths looked at Gungun with a proud smile while Golu spoke up to lighten up the mood, "Gungun scientist na sahi, lekin tum Mr. Scientist se shaadi toh kr rhi hona, Anubhav Kulshresth, Scientist Of The Year!"

"Round Chachuuuuu..." whined Gungun on hearing about her marriage.

Gungun pouted as she showed tongue to Anubhav, while Anubhav gave her a fake angry glare, while the others bursted out laughing seeing their antics, as they stopped but then saw Gungun laughing carelessly and freely as Anubhav thought to himself while looking at her, "Aaj ek promise hai mera, I will always support you in whatever you do."

Time passes like the flow of water when with your loved ones, same happened with Gungun as she was spending her day with Kulshresths, a few hours passed as it was 1 in the afternoon, Gungun and Kulshresths were talking as Neeti questioned randomly, "Gungun, tumhare recent mein aisi kaunsi chiz hai jisse tumne kabhi miss nahi kiya, kisi bhi haalat mein?"

Gungun smiled at her question as she replied back with a smile, "Gymnastics, maine almost life mein har chiz pe give up kiya hoga, even my studies and my interests, lekin Gymnastics pe kabhi nahi. Because, gymnastics hi ek aisi chiz hai, jispe maine apna saara frustration nikala hai. Whenever I am bored ya frustrated, ya phir gussa bhi, toh main gymnastics krti hoon....

So, maine kabhi bhi apni gymnastics ki class miss nahi ki, and baaki toh aap samajh hi gye."

Everyone smiled as Yug said, "Tumhe sach mein gymnastics bohot pasand hai na"

Gungun instantly nodded her head in a "yes" like a child, when a number flashed on her screen making her frown, as she uttered Without picking the call, "Doctor Maya."

Gungun looked at the Kulshresths before picking up the call, as she picked it and got it near her ear, when Goli went to her and placed the phone on speaker as Gungun nodded as Maya said, "Gungun, kahaan ho tum abtak!?"

"Vahin jahaan mujhe hona chahiye, Kulshresth Bhawan." replied Gungun, being in no mood to converse with her.

Maya from the other side replied to her in a sarcastic tone, "Tumhe es vakt yahaan hona chahiye, apne ghar pe. Ya phir shaadi se pehle hi sasural mein basne ka plan hai tumhara?"

Gungun sighed at her tone and words, she just didn't wanted to ruin her mood when Sargam said from behind, "Yeh sasural nahi, uska apna ghar hai Maya ji! Yeh ghar Gungun ka bhi utna hi hai jitna ki Anu ka hai."

Gungun smiled at Sargam, knowing she wouldn't have to reply till the time she knows that she have Kulshresths on her side as Maya said, "Gungun, tumhari harkaton se pta chal rha hai, ki kitni badtameez ho tum. Apna call kisi aur ko pakda diya, aur voh bhi apni Ma ka call!?"

"Maaf kijiyega, lekin badtameezi ki hadh toh aapne paar ki hai Maya ji." replied Divya from behind.

While Golu who was standing beside Gungun, spoke up in a stern tone, "Aur ek Ma hokar aapne apni Beti ka sapna toda? Aisa kaise krsakti hain aap!?"

"Jab aapko puri baat pta na ho tab aapka kuch na bolna hi thik hoga!" said an furious Maya.

Whereas Charudatt spoke up, standing up, "Gungun hume sab bta chuki hai Maya ji."

Maya took a moment before she said, "Oh please! Gungun tum sach mein itni idiot ho ki tum sabko yeh btake sympathy leti fir rhi ho!?"

Whereas Anubhav who was quiet until now spoke up, raising his voice a bit, "Don't you dare raise your voice on her."

"Yeh humara family matter hai, so, it's better ki aap es sabse baahar rhen!" yelled Maya.

Whereas Gungun, who was finding it hard to control had now lost it, as she yelled back, "They are my family Doctor Maya! Yeh parivaar meri family hai, so it's better ki aap meri family se misbehave na kren!"

"Agr voh tumhari family hain toh main tumhari Mom hoon!" reminded Maya.

"Meri Mom, meri ek dur ki relative hain! You get that!?" said Gungun, as tears were forming in her eyes.

Maya took a moment as she responded, "Well, mujhe tumhe call krke bulane ki zaroorat hi nahi thi, because tum khud aaogi."

"Aur aapko aisa kyun lagta hai ki main aaungi!?" questioned a furious Gungun.

"You have your gymnastics class at 2pm, yaad aaya? And tumhari class ki facilities sirf yahaan hai, vahaan nahi." said Maya as she smirked.

"Emotional blackmail krna bohot ache se aata hai aapko." replied Gungun.

Everyone looked at Gungun, who took a deep breath as she spoke up, with a tear rolling down her cheeks, "You know what Doctor Maya? Aaj main apni life ka ek truth accept krti hoon, jo mujhe pta tha but maine kabhi accept nahi kiya."

"Maine sabko kaha ki I hated you, but mujhe kahin na kahin yeh umeed thi ki aap vapis aayengi aur ek fresh start hoga, but dheere-dheere voh umeed khatam ho rhi thi, but main idiot hi hoon, jo tab bhi chah rhi thi ki mujhe meri Ma vapis mile but congratulations Doctor Maya, meri saari hopes khatam ho chuki hain. My hopes are officially broken and lost now." said a broken Gungun, as she disconnected the call.

Even though she sounded broken, but she didn't had anymore tears to shed, as she went upstairs and locked herself in Anubhav's room without saying anything, while everyone looked at her retreating figure worried.

While Anubhav who was looking at her retreating figure, realised something as he glanced at his watch and then looked at his family members. He looked at them, and told them the whole thing, as a smile adorned everyone's faces as they started to look around and do what he said.

Sometime passed by, as Neeti and Khushi got down, whereas Gungun was down with the conversation when Khushi said, "Ek baar dekh toh lo..."

Gungun looked up, still being at stairs, as she covered her mouth shocked when Neeti said with a smile, "Yeh sab Anu ne krwaya tumhare liye."

Gungun looked at Anubhav who was standing in the hall, while unable to control her emotions, she ran down the stairs, as she hugged Anubhav tightly, her head lying on his chest, while her arms wrapped around his back, as a sob escaped her lips, while Anubhav even though was conscious about being hugged infront of his family, still patted her head lightly.

Author's Note

Hey Everyone.
So, I actually don't know what I wrote here, but I hope that this one will recieve the same amount of love as others.

And about the Science thing, this can be random, as I penned it down after overthinking about one of the dialogues in the show, so it was when Maya returned and she said, "Bohot pyaar krti hoon main tumse" and then Gungun replied, "Thik utna hi pyaar jitna main science se krti hoon?" and then Garima said from behind, "Lekin tumne toh science chod di na..." and finally Gungun said, "Inhone bhi toh chod diya na mujhe!"

So, this could have gone with two meanings like:

2. Gungun loved Science alot, but had to leave it due to reasons.

Most likely, I guess for the show it could be the first one, but I was thinking more of the second one and so I penned it down.

Also, forgive me if the next part takes sometime to come.....

Do vote and comment down your views for the part.

Thankyou.
Yours
