Pooja and Anoop were discussing about Aniket's health.

"Dekho toh Pooja kaisi ajeeb bimari hui hai Aniket ko, sab kuch yaad hai usay lekin jis ladki se usne hamari marzi ke khilaf shadi ki usi ko bhulaye baitha hai kambakht" Anoop said worrying about him.

"Mujhe toh Nitya ki chinta ho rahi hai, jis pati se itna pyar karti hai wahi usay bhulaye baitha hai" she said worriedly.

"Matlab ab tumhein koi narazgi nahin hai Nitya se"

"Arey main kyun naraz rehne lagi bhala usse, kitna pyar karti hai vo Aniket se,baithe bithaye mujhe itni achhi bahu mil gai, Duggu ki tarah kam se kam mehnat toh nahi karni padi" she said smiling.

"Matlab tum sab kuch bhool gai?" Anoop asked.

"Haan baba sab bhool gai main toh, mujhe toh uspe taras aa raha hai, kaise rahegi Aniket ki is haalat ke saath isliye toh ye hawan rakhwaya hai uske loye" she said

Nitya had heard this and she came inside "Aap meri chinta mat keejiye maa, naa hi Aniket ki, Aniket apna wada nibha rahe hain, jo unhone aapse kiya tha" she said.

"Kaisa wada ?"

"Mujhse door rehne ka ". Nitya said and it reminded Pooja of the promise she had taken from Aniket.

"Par main nahi chahti ki ab Aniket aur us waade ko nibhaye, usay jald se jald sab yaad aa jaye, main toh yahi prarthana karti hoon" said Pooja, Nitya smiled and hugged her.

"Nitya beta tum na uske nazron ke saamne raha karo, ho sakta hai usay sab yaad aa jaye, dekho jab vo hamein bulaye toh tum chali jaya karo uski madat karne" Pooja said with a smile.

Later the Pandit arrived and the family members sat for the hawan.

"Dekhiye yajmaan aap sabhi log jode mein baithiyega, tabhi ye hawan safal hoga"

"Par meri aur Dada ki toh shaadi hui nahi hai hum kaise jode mein baithenge?" asked Aniket

Nandini said "Ani tu yahan aakar baith hamare saath" and Aniket sat next to Karan and Nandini. Aarav sat beside Aniket and Nitya, Manvi sat behind Pooja and Anoop.

The pandit requested them to join hands and pray. Aarav opened his eyes and looked behind, he pulled Manvi's saree. Manvi opened his eyes and looked at him and signaled her to call Nitya. Manvi nudged at Nitya and she opened her eyes. Nitya raised her eyebrows to ask what it was. Aarav indicated her to sit beside Aniket so they could exchange their positions.

Nitya agreed and they quietly exchanged their positions.

"Dada aap chaho toh Manvi ji ke paas jaakar baith sakte ho" Aniket said, he hadn't opened his eyes.

"Aapke Dada wahin baithe hain" Nitya said and he immediately opened his eyes.

"Aap yahan kyun baithe hain?" Aniket said loudly.

"Ani chup pooja chal rahi hai" Nandini said.

"Aap yahan kya kar rahin hain Chandralekha ji?" asked Aniket softly.

"Arey wah, itni der se aap keh rahe thay Dada aapko baithna hai aap baith sakte ho, agar main nahi baithti yahan toh vo kaise jaate wahan?" she asked.

Aniket was annoyed but he didn't say anything. The pandit called everyone for hawan in pairs, first it was Anoop and Pooja and then it was Nandini and Karan.

Aarav raised his eyebrows asking what was to be done. Pooja assured him and then Nandini took the hawan plate and said "Ek kaam karo tum chaaron ikattha aahuti dedo haina"

Both Manvi and Nitya smiled as they got the chance to perform this ritual with their respective husbands

Manvi was cooking the prasad, Nitya was also there helping her with it. She noticed that Aarav's eyes were all on Manvi. She smiled and slowly moved out of the kitchen. Aarav slowly walked inside the kitchen.

Manvi turned and was about to take Nitya's name but she was startled as she saw Aarav there.

"Kuch help karun?" He asked.

Manvi nodded in denial.

"Tum yahan kya kar rahe ho?" She asked.

"Main, ye lene aaya tha ye, mera matlab hai chakhne aaya tha ye halwa..." he said, took a spoon and was about to taste it but Manvi hits his hand .

"Arey...prasad hai"

"Toh kya hua main pehle chakh lunga toh bhagwan ji bura nahi manenge" said Aarav.

"Shut up, pehle bhagwan ka bhog lagega" she said scolding him.

Manvi took the prasad and placed it in a bowl, she then gave it to the pandit and returned to the kitchen.

"Lag gaya bhog? Ab mujhe mil sakta hai?" asked Aarav, all irritated.

Manvi smiled and in a big bowl gave the prasad to Aarav. He smiled seeing it, he started having it. Manvi smiled seeing him like that he looked cute just like a kid.

"Halwa achha bana hai"

She thanked him. He finished the bowl and washed his hands.

"Aur kuch madat karun tumhari?" He asked.

He looked around and without informing her he picked up a hot pot.

"Mummy mummy" he screamed as the pot was extremely hot and placed it back

"Ye tum kya kar rahe ho Aarav, jal gaya na haath" she said and took his hand in hers

"Kitna jal gaya hai" she said and brought his hand under running tap water.

"Kya kar rahe thay?" Manvi said almost scolding him, she realized that she was shouting at him.

"Sorry wo main..."

"Sorry kyun? Apna maankar hi toh daant rahi thi na" he said and Manvi blushed at this.

"How cute" Nitya commented slowly without getting noticed. She then saw Aniket approaching the kitchen and she stopped him.

"Kahan jaa rahe ho?" She asked

"Kitchen mein paani peene" he replied.

"Nahi tum nahi jaa sakte" she said and stood in front of him.

"Arey kamal kar rahi hain aap Chandralekha ji mere hi ghar mein, mere hi kitchen mein mujhe hi jaane se rok rahin hain" he said.

"Arey toh har baar zaruri thodi hai ki tum apne bhai bhabhi ki love story me kabab mein haddi bano" she said and immediately bit her tongue for whatever she had said.

"Kya bhai aur bhabhi?" Aniket asked confused.

"Mera matlab tha ki tumhein aisa zyada chalna firna nahin chahiye, main doctor hun na tumhari, tumhein paani chhaiye main lakar deti hun na" Nitya said.

"Ab toh main andar jaakar rahunga, dekhta hun kaise meri doctor mujhe rokti hai" he said and moved forward. Nitya slapped her forehead.

Manvi had folded her hair and clutched them together but Aarav opened her hair and pulled her towards him.

"Aise bikharte huyi lat achhi lagti hain tumhare chehre par" Aarav said to which Manvi blushed more.

Manvi served the prasad for all in a tray. She was about to move outside when Aarav again held her hand.

"Aarav mujhe jaane do, bahar sabko prasad dena hain"

"Ek minute" he said and again tied her hair with the clutcher.

"Ye kya?" Manvi asked.

"Bikhre khule baal sirf mere liye " he said lovingly.

Manvi smiled and moved out of the kitchen. Aniket had watched all this from the other side of the kitchen. He walked away with a smile. Nitya was still there, her eyes closed and holding her head.

"Chandralekha ji, aap bilkul thik keh rahi thi" he said and she opened her eyes.

"Kya matlab?"

"Matlab andar wakai mere bhai bhabhi hi thay" he said and left the place.

"Aniket ko sab yaad aa gaya kya?" Nitya thought, then another thought came to her mind "Nahin nahi aisa hota toh vo mujhe Chandralekha thodi bulata, lekin confirm toh karna hi hoga, kahin khel toh nahin raha"

Later that night Aniket called Pooja for help "Maa, choti maa, meri medicines kahan hain" he shouted to ask.

Pooja looked at Nitya and instead of them she went upstairs.

"Bolo kya chahiye tumhein?" She asked, knocking at his door.

"Chandralekha ji aap? Aap yahan kyun aai hain? Maa kahan hain?"he asked.

"Kyun ? Main yahan aa gai toh koi problem hai?" She asked.

"Aap maa ya choti maa ko bhej deejiye aur aap jaiye yahan se" he said.

"Arey tumhein kya chahiye tum mujhe bol sakte ho na, chalo batao kya chahiye" she asked.

"Arey aap kya ye zabardasti" Aniket said, getting away.

Nitya came near him and he moved behind, she stepped further and he moved behind.

"Tum nahi bataoge ki tumhein kya chahiye" Nitya asked in a seductive tone.

"Chandralekha ji dekhiye aap door rahiye please" he said, but she didn't move

"Achha thik hai main batata hun, lekin aap please thoda" he requested and Nitya moved away with a smile.

"Ab bolo"

"Mujhe meri dawaiyan nahin mil rahi hain" he said.

"Oh tumhari dressing ka time ho gaya na, ruko main karti hun tumhari dressing" said Nitya and Aniket was astonished listening this.

"Aap dressing karengi?"

"Haan, ab main doctor hun toh main hi dressing karungi na, chalo shirt utaaro" Nitya replied.

"Arey aap ye kya keh rahi hain? Dekhiye Chandralekha ji aap bas dawaiyan dhoondh deejiye baki main khud kar lunga" he requested.

"Lo aise kaise, main doctor hun na tumhari, toh main hi dressing karungi, chalo utaro shirt" she said.

"Arey lekin"

"Lekin kya, chalo utaaro shirt"

"Chandralekha ji ye kya zid hai " he said and Nitya moved forward. She moved near him and he moved behind. She took out the first aid kit from the side table. Nitya started to move near him but her feet slipped and she fell with Aniket on his bed. Aniket was lost in Nitya's eyes. She was captivating to him and he was in a trance.

A while later both came out of the trance and Nitya sat in her place. She started opening the buttons of his shirt.

"Arey ye aap kya kar rahi hain Chandralekha ji?" He asked nervously.

"Tumhari dressing karni hai toh ye toh karna padega na" she replied.

"Lekin Chandralekha ji, aap ye kyun kar rahi hai aise achha lagta hai kya?" Aniket asked innocently.

"Achha lagta hai isiliye toh kar rahi hun" Nitya replied but immediately regretted what she said.

"Matlab Chandralekha ji aapko meri shirt utarana achha lagta hai?" He asked in confusion.

"Arey nahi baba apne patients ka dhyan rakhna mujhe achha lagta hai" she said taking out the bandage and medicine from the first aid kit.

Aniket covered his chest with his hands although he was wearing a vest below it.

"Arey tum toh aise sharma rahe ho jaise main pehli baar dekh rahi hun tumhein aise" Nitya commented laughingly.

"Pehli baar matlab? Nanga dekha hai aapne mujhe ?" Aniket asked nervously.

"Chi! Nanga nahin kehte baba, bina kapdon ke kaho na" Nitya replied with a smile.

"Haan matlab aapne mujhe bina shirt ke kab dekha?" He asked innocently.

"Tum kitne sawal karte ho, arey hospital mein jab tum behosh they, tumhari dressing main hi toh karti thi" Nitya replied.

"Aap karti thi?"

"Hmm, aur ab ek sawal nahin chupchap dressing karwao"

Nitya started dressing his wounds, first she dressed his head and then she started dressing the wounds on his chest. Nitya could sense his heartbeats that grew faster when she placed her hand on his chest.

Nitya got up from the bed and placed the first aid back to its position.

"Thank you Chandralekha ji" said Aniket.

Nitya got his medicines and gave it to him with a glass of water.

"Aur ye Chandralekha kya laga rakha hai, tum mujhe pyaar se Chandra ya fir Lekha bhi bula sakte ho" she said with a flirty smile and he turned aside. Nitya ran away from his room laughing all the way downstairs.

Manvi noticed this and she asked " Aise khilkhilakar kya has rahi hai hua kya? "

"Arey Mannu, bade logon ki full permission ke sath, apne hi husband se sabke samne flirt karne ka maza kya hai tu nahi jaanti" saying this she left the place.

"Achha main bhi try karu?" Manvi thought and hits her head for stupid thought.

Next morning everyone was on the breakfast table except for Aniket. Just when Aarav was about to get up from the breakfast table they heard Aniket's voice calling him as if he had seen something.

"Ab kya hua" all said in unison

"Dada" he called out again.

Aarav went upstairs and he saw Aniket standing in front of his wardrobe holding shocked expressions.

"Ab kya dekh liya isne?" He thought.

"Dada ye main kya dekh raha hun?" Aniket asked.

"Kya dekha tune?" Aarav asked suspiciously.

"Ye itni branded shirts aapke cupboard mein kya kar rahi hai Dada?"he asked and started taking out the shirts one by one.

"Oh? Yeh shirts meri hi toh hain"he replied

"Aapki? Dada mera accident hua tha, lekin main pagal nahi hua us accident mein, yeh shirts aapki? Aapne kabse aise kapde pehnne shuru kar diye?" He asked.

"Arey tu bhi na pagal hai ekdam ye shirts meri hi toh hai teri bhabhi ne dilwao thi mujhe ye..." Aarav said and realized what he had said.

"Bhabhi?" Aniket peered at him

"Mera kehne ka matlab hai ki..."

"Iske kehne ka matlab hai ki iske office mein hai na kuch dino se iski boss ki biwi ne join kiya hai, ab tumhein toh apne bhai ki dressing sense ka pata hai, vo dekhte huye boss ki biwi yane ki iski bhabhi ne isko ye shirts gift ki hai" Manvi who had just entered the room said.

"Boss ki biwi? Kya utpatang baat hai ye hai? Mere liye toh aapne kabhi aise shirts nahi pehne" Aniket said.

He looked at both of them and said " Mujhe pata hai aap log zaroor kuch na kuch mujhse chupa rahe ho, us din wo sandal aur aaj ye shirts, main maa se puchkar aata hun" he swore and left his room.

"Aaj toh pakka mar gaye" said Manvi

Nitya was coming from the other end and Aniket was stepping down. He collided with her.

"Chandralekha ji aap hamesha aise mujhse takrati kyu rehti hain?" He asked annoyingly.

"Maine kya kiya?"

"Arey aap hatiye mujhe zara important baat karni hai maa se" he said.

Nitya saw that Aarav and Manvi were indicating something to her, they pointed towards the shirt and she understood what must have happened.

"Aapko kya baat karni hai?" She asked.

"Mujhe maa se puchna hai, arey zaroor Dada mujhse kuch chupa rahe hain bas" he replied.

"Tumhe sach janna hai na, main batati hun tumhein" she said

Aarav and Manvi's eyes widened out of shock and fear. She held Aniket's hand and took him to his room.

"Arey kya sach batane wali hai Nitya" asked Manvi.

"Kya pata kya pak raha hai tumhari behen ke mann mein, chalo chalkar dekhte hain" said Aarav and they followed her to Aniket's room.

"Tumhein sach janna hai na Aniket?" Nitya asked.

"Haan, aap agar sach janti hain toh please bataiye na Chandralekha ji" Aniket requested.

"Main batati hun" Nitya said.

"Nahin please mat batana!" Both Aarav and Manvi screamed.

"Aaj nahin toh kal mujhe sach batana hi hoga na Aniket ko bhaiya" Nitya said.

"Haan Chandralekha ji aap bataiye, kya chupa rahe hain ye dono" he asked looking at both of them suspiciously.

"Dekho mujhe pata hai us din se tumhare mann mein kai sawal hain, aaj sabke jawab deti hun main tumhein, darasal"

Nitya looked at Manvi and Aarav who were nodding to not to tell the truth.

"Main tumhari doctor hun, isliye tumhein sach batana mera farz hai, baat ye hai Aniket ki tum pichle ek saal ki baatein bhool chuke ho, tumhari pichle ek saal ki yaadasht jaa chuki hai" she said.

Both Manvi and Aarav held their heads as if their nightmares were coming true.

"Kya pichle ek saal ki yaadasht jaa chuki hai?" Aniket asked with a shocked reaction.

"Haan Aniket, dekho is ek saal mein zyada kuch nahi badla hai bas thode bahot changes aaye hain jo tumhein naye lag rahe hain aur tum baar baar shock ho rahe ho" she said. When Manvi and Aarav heard this they sighed.

"Matlab?"

"Matlab ke jaise un sandals ka aur books ka Aarav bhaiya ke room se milna, vo isliye kyunki, tumhein yaad hai tumhare ghar ka renovation chal raha tha? " Nitya asked and he nodded.

" Tumne itni saari cheezein puchi lekin ye nahi pucha ki ghar ka renovation kab hua? Aniket jab Manvi yahan rehne aai thi tab is ghar mein renovation ka kaam complete nahi hua tha guestroom ki repairing chal rahi thi aur isiliye kuch din Manvi Aarav bhaiya ke room mein rehti thi, isliye uska kuch saaman wahan choot gaya, what's the big deal" Nitya explained.

"Achha?Ye wajah hai?Lekin wo shirts" he questioned

"Oho tumhein toh pata hi hai tumhare bhaiya ke office mein kitne international clients bhi aate hain, unhi ki wajah se unhone apna dressing style change kiya hai"replied Nitya.

"Iska matlab Dada" he came towards them and said "main bahot kuch bhool chuka hun"

"Vo toh hai Aniket" Manvi said, eyeing Nitya.

"Tumhein dhakka na lage isliye toh sab tumse sach chupa rahe thay" she continued.

"I am so sorry Dada, lekin aap mujhe sach bata sakte thay na, vo toh achha hai main is ek saal mein koi important cheez nahin bhoola hun" he said and hugged his brother.

"Tumhein kya bataein Aniket ki tum kya kya bhool chuke ho" thought Aarav and he eyed Nitya too.

"Dada main aapki un branded shirts mein se ek le raha hun ek important kaam hai" he said

"Haan zaroor" Aarav replied and Aniket left

"Nitya tune toh hamein dara hi diya, hamein laga pata nahi tu usay kya batane wali hai " said Manvi.

"Main uski doctor aur biwi dono hun Mannu main usay kuch aisa kabhi nahin bataungi jis se uske dimag par bura asar pade" Nitya said sadly

"Waise Nitya tumne usay memory loss wali baat kyun batai? " Asked Aarav.

Nitya took out a letter from the desk and showed it to them.

"Wo jo MNC thi jis se usay appointment mila hai uska letter hai ye, vo chahte hain ki Ani jald se jald join kar le, aur vaise bhi bhaiya vo itne sawal kar raha tha, mujhe dar tha kahin vo khud ko pagal na samajh baithe, isliye uske liye ye janna zaroori tha ki usay hua kya hai, details dena na dena ye hamare haath mein hai na" she replied.

Aarav came to her and kept his hand lovingly on her head "Meri Ani ne bilkul sahi ladki chuni hai apne liye, god bless you"

Later that night Manvi couldn't sleep properly in her room so she walked up to Aarav's room again. She knocked at his door. Aarav opened the door and was amazed to see her there.

"Tum yahan kya kar rahi ho?Aniket ne dekh lia toh?" Aarav asked.

"Mujhe neend nahi aa rahi" Manvi whispered.

Aarav quickly pulled her inside. Manvi took out the extra pillow from the wardrobe and placed it beside his pillow on the bed.

"Kya kar rahi ho?" Aarav asked.

"Mujhe na wahan neend nahi aa rahi, isliye main yahin soungi" she said

"Arey lekin Ani ne dekh lia toh?" He asked.

"Main subah jaldi uthkar chali jaungi" she replied.

"Arey lekin wahan kya problem hai, kyun neend nahi aa rahi tumhein?" He asked

"Kyunki mujhe is kamre ki aadat hai aur waise bhi jabse Aniket Nitya ko bhoola hai na vo meena kumari ban gai hai, har waqt roti rehti hai, mujhe bilkul achha nahi lagta" she replied.

"Arey tumhein toh uske saath rehna chahiye na"

"Vo sab mujhe nahi pata mujhe bas yahin sona hai '' she replied and before Aarav could ask further she laid on the bed. Aarav smiled and lay next to her.

Dil To Paagal Hai

Dil Deewana Hai

Manvi couldn't confess that it was neither the room nor Nitya that she couldn't sleep, it was his absence that made her restless. Aarav too couldn't sleep for two nights because of her absence.

Dil To Paagal Hai

Dil Deewana Hai
