Kashi: 'Don't let your father break your dream, I will do what I have to do!'

Rakesh Pujara comes and gives the Kashi trophy to Rukhi. Rukhi, Kashi and Ganga bow their heads after placing the trophy before God and Rukhi takes Kashi's avarana. Kashi now talks about how her first match was today. This word is also spreading in the village that Kashi of our village became the player of the match in the district selection match and now she will go to play at Gujarat level. Some people are happy with the fact that the daughter has brightened the name of the village and some people's mouths are raised. Nathu did not care about these things. He just wanted to fulfill Kashi's dream. Now all four prepare to sleep. The next morning, Kashi leaves with the trophy and Nathu gets ready and goes to the factory. In Nishal, Kashi shows the trophy to Acharya and walks away and everyone respects Kashi with applause. Nathu also goes to the factory and talks about Kashi becoming player of the match and everyone gets happy. Now, it is four o'clock in the evening and the postman calls home. 'Kashi O Kashi, if your letter has come.' Kashi runs and takes the letter from postman uncle. Signing and asking, 'Whose is it?' The postman uncle says, 'If you are educated, read it'. Kashi reads the letter and starts shouting, 'Ma… Oh Ma.. If the letter has come from Gujarat State Cricket. I have been called by those people for selection.' Hearing this, Rukhi and Ganga get happy. In the evening Nathu comes home ringing the bell and hearing the bell Kashi runs in front and tells Nathu that, 'Bapu, G.C.A. A letter has arrived from He has called me in the selection.' Even hearing this makes one happy. All the four people dance happily and shortly after the dance, Kashi and Ganga fall asleep and Nathu goes to Rukhi's side and puts his hand on her shoulder and says, 'What if I quit my job now?' Rukhi sat down, 'No, no, your brain is gone, isn't it? If you quit your job, why will the house be built…' says Nathu. Rukhi: So whatever you think is fine, but do it with some thought. Nathu: Everything will be done you see. Now the next day Nathu does not go to work and posts his resignation letter. Kashi gets dumbfounded when he knows this and asks after a few minutes. Kashi: Hey Bapu, why will the house run? Nathu: Me and your mother have thought of everything. You focus on your game. This morning Kashi is getting happy and getting ready. Going for selection in GCA today. Nathu also stands ready. Both of them leave in the first bus to Bhuj and on the way Nathu tells them what to watch out for and to be very disciplined. Bhuj reached there and walked from there to the ground. There are 45 girls standing with Kashi after registration and all are standing in line. Coach madam comes and congratulates everyone that reaching from district to state is a lot of hard work and congratulations to all of you for making it this far. Now there will be a fitness check. All have to play 20 rounds of this ground in groups of five each. Then turn on crunches, hinies, sprints and all… Everyone starts running. Coach madam and judges are watching everything. A physiotherapist is also present. He will also inform if one's way is wrong. Now by the time of lunch break everyone had a fitness test. After lunch everyone was asked their first job and practiced accordingly in the net and the coach madam, judges and physiotherapists were all focused on each girl and her every movement. Coaches and judges write down some names during everyone's practice. Those who make small mistakes are explained by the coach but really, and a very good practice lasted until the evening. Then coach madam makes everyone stand together and tells. After giving guidance, he says that you all go home now. Those who have been selected will be informed by calling or writing a letter. Everyone now leaves for home. Kashi and Nathu have boarded the bus from Bhuj to the village. On the way Nathu explains that you had 45 girls today. Four-five of them could not complete the fitness, so the remaining 40 and out of those 40 will be two squares of 15-15, so 30 girls will be selected. Kashi: Ok. As happened in the district. Nathu: Yes son. The mode of selection is same till National. Kashi: Hey Bapu, will I get selected or not? Nathu: So a good player like you doesn't mind. And I also pray to God that you get selected. Now the bus stand of the village had come. Both of them got off the bus and started walking towards home and some people in the village were very happy and some continued to taunt or if they had not seen the Indian cricketer, they became big. And then everyone started laughing. Nathu and Kashi blindly reached home and Nathu said, 'Kashi's performance was very good today.' Rukhi happily said, 'Take it. May Mataji protect my home. I will put the tea on while you both wash your hands and feet.' Kanu kerosene sarpanch and village panch were coming towards Nathu's house with the villagers from the front. Seeing this, Rukhi said, 'Why are all these people coming to our place together like this?' Hearing this, Kashi and Nathu also looked at him anxiously and the sarpanch came and shouted, 'Ai Nathu…' Nathu went closer and said, 'Speak, Sarpanch.' Sarpanch: Nathu, even after persuading you, he did not listen to us and continued to play cricket leaving you. Therefore, the village committee has decided that the supply of water will be stopped in your village for six months from now. From now on, no one will deal with you in this village, and the village will take such a harsh decision. Kanu Kerosene was very happy about this and Rukhi, Kashi, Ganga kept looking at Sarpanch in surprise. Nathu replied to the sarpanch and said, 'Whatever you and the village panch think is right is true. I accept your decision and am ready to suffer any punishment for my daughter. All of you go.' After everyone calmed down, Nathu started explaining to Rukhi that you guys don't worry, I am… I will bring water and required food from the nearby village. You all don't worry Kashi… Saying that he notices that Kashi is not in the courtyard. Nathu went to the house and started searching, 'Kashi o Kashi…' There was no Kashi in the house. Even behind the house, Kashi shouted and looked, but Kashi was nowhere around the house. Rukhi started worrying where she had gone. Nathu said, 'You prepare dinner, I will call Kashi.' Search everywhere even in the village. Kashi was nowhere. Then Nathu reached the sun setting on the sea shore and there Kashi was sitting on a boat and later Nathu went and put his hand on her shoulder and said, 'Kashi, why do you keep coming here? What happened?' Then Kashi took Nathu's hand from his shoulder and looked at the sunset and said, 'Bapu, how much do you have to suffer because of me…? If so, I am ready to quit cricket.' Nathu placed his other hand on Kashi's mouth and stopped speaking and said, 'No my son… you have to do this adventure. No achievement without adventure. Just trust your father. Whatever happens, don't let your father break your dream. I will do whatever I have to do, but you have to play cricket. If you reach the star sky, then all this will stop talking. You don't have to worry. Let's eat at home now.' The two came home after wiping each other's clothes and started talking comfortably on the floor. In which Nathu explained to everyone in the house, 'No one should worry about anything. I will see to it all.' Now everyone was sleeping and Nathu was sleeping outside on the cot in the courtyard thinking that he had quit his job and now the shops have closed. Don't know what God is sitting to do.
