We have been to the streets of Chandni Chawk, discovering the different tastes, and cultures and meeting the upper-middle-class family "Malhotras". Delhi also has some posh areas and one of them is Vasant Vihar, it is considered an upscale posh locality with many good schools, hospitals, and 4 malls in the colony catering to the rich, upper-middle-class society.

In this posh society lives "the Wadhva's". They owned a 4BHK fair-sized house built of red Lyons sandstone with the most god-awful-looking picket fence ever seen. The nameplate was shining and clearly displaying the name "NiVi Mansion". These were the initial of their daughters "Nitya" and "Manvi" who are the life of this house.

A car stops in front of the main entrance which is so huge that it could fit in a giraffe family, as soon as it senses the car the door opens towards the left. The boundary was arched twenty feet high.

An elderly man in his early 50s steps out of the car and walks inside. He glanced to his right and a beautiful small garden was very well maintained with green grass on the floor and flower pots decorated out layering it. A girl in her mid-twenties, her hair was touching her waist. She was wearing a beautiful Anarkali and watering the plants. He recognized her and said "Nitya beta"

She turns and smiles looking at him. She keeps the hose on the floor and turns off the tap. She then hurries towards the person and hugs him "Papa.. aaj aap itni jaldi kaise aa gaye?" she asked.

"Aaj koi major surgery nahi thi na.." He replies and both of them head towards the entrance of the house.

He was Mr. Vivek Wadhva, a famous cardiologist in the hospital in Delhi. Everyone respects him and especially his down-to-earth nature. He might have earned a lot but always stayed in his roots.

As they enter in, they heard a sound of the lady "kitni baar kaha hai maine ghar ka samaan idhar udhar na kara kare par koi sunta hi nahi hai meri"

She arranged the living area properly, Vivek smiled hearing her words. Nitya whispers in his ear "Maa is in a very bad mood.. All the best" she says and rushes upstairs to her room.

Vivek sighed deeply, he approached closer towards his wife. She had felt his presence, she turned and shot a deadly glare at him. She is Sadhna Wadhva, a housewife and dear mother of Nitya.

"Aa gaye aap.. Aaj itni jaldi kaise fursat mil gayi aapko apne patients se?" she asked.

"Jab main der se aata hun toh mujhe daant lagati ho.. Jaldi aata hun toh daant lagati ho? Main karun toh kya karun?" he asked innocently.

"Beti ke liye ladka dundhne ka kaam diya tha aapko.. Aap wahi kar denge na main ganga naha aungi" she said, folding her hands in front of him.

Vivek grabs her hand and says "Aasan thodi hota hai beti ke liye ladka dekhna! Aur iss ghar mein tumhara ladla devar bhi toh hai usse kyun nahi kehti ho madad karde hamari"

Just then another lady comes out of the kitchen, placing a tea tray on the table. "Bhaiya Rishabh

se koi umeed to kijiyega hi mat aap! Ek hafte se unhe bol rahi hun Aman ko laptop dilwa lao lekin unki toh meetings hi khatam nahi ho rahi hai.. " she complains.

"Ye Rishabh bhi na.. Aane do khabar leta hun uski main" Vivek says.

"Aap toh rehne hi dijiye.." Sadhna speaks.

They hear the familiar voice "offo aap sab phir se shuru ho gaye..."

They turn and see Rishabh standing at the door. His wife, Prerna moved to him and shot a deadly glare "Ghar mein aana mana hai..."

"Kyun?" he asked.

"Laptop! Aman ke liye laaye ki nahi?" Prerna asked.

He bits his tongue out and says "Kal pakka la dunga"

"Acha.. agar beti ki baat hoti toh aap nahi bhoolte.. Aur uss ladki ka CA ab tak khatam nahi ho raha hai" she comments.

Rishab glances at her and replies "mehnat kar rahi hai.. Aur final year hai uska! Dekhna iss baar meri beti top karegi"

"Wo main dekh lungi.." Prerna said.

"Prerna unko andar toh aane do" Sadhna spoke.

She steps to the side and Rishabh walks inside. He takes out the new laptop from his bag and says "Aa gaya inke laadle Aman ka laptop.. Main apne dono bacho mein koi farak nahi karta hun! Beti se bas thoda zyada pyaar karta hun"

Prerna smiled, she moves to him and hugs him from behind "Jaanti hun isliye main apne bete se aapki beti se thoda zyada pyaar karti hun"

"Wo sab toh thik hai lekin ghar ke dono bache hai kahan pe?" Vivek questions.

"Aman ko leke chandni chawk gayi hai.. Iss ladki ko har dusre din waha jaana hai.. Hamare yaha bhi toh itna acha khana milta hai" Prerna responses.

"Lekin jo khane ka swad Chandni Chawk ke khane mein hai wo kahi nahi hai" a girl speaks while entering the scene.

She rushes towards them and keeps the Samosas on the table "sabke liye samose laayi hun main"

Aman picks up one but Manvi hits his hand "nahi.. Abhi itna khake aaye ho aur nahi milega"

"Main Nitya Di se complaint kar dunga phir aapki" he threatened her.

"Jaake kar de.." Manvi spoke unaffected with his threat. He goes upstairs and Manvi runs behind him leaving the elders with a laugh.

Aman rushes into Nitya's and Manvi's room. "Nitya Di.." he calls her.

Nitya, who was working on her laptop, keeps it away and turns towards the 18 year old teenager "Haan Aman.."

"Aapko pata hai aaj Mannu di ne na.." he paused when Manvi interrupted.

"Aman.. papa new laptop laaye hai.. Jaake dekho" she said.

Aman was excited, "Sach mein?" he asked.

"Haa.. neeche hi toh hai jao jaldi" she told him and pushed him out of the room. Manvi had a sigh of relief, she turns and sees her sister glancing at her crossing her arms across her chest.

Manvi smiles innocently "Nitu.. dekho"

"Mannu.. Maine kitni baar kaha hai tumhe bahar ki pani puri suit nahi karti hai! Phir bhi tum wahi khane jaati ho" Nitya said angrily.

"Lekin wo mera pyaar hai na Nitu! Ab main roj roj toh maa ko nahi bol sakti hai ghar mein bana do mere liye.. Waise bhi mujhe padhai ko leke sunati rehti hai '' she replies.

"Tumhari chinta hai unhe" Nitya said.

"Chodo.. Ye batao tumne US mein apply kiya tha na MD ke liye kuch response aaya??" Manvi asked.

"Haan mera application accept ho gaya hai! Par samajh nahi aa raha maa papa se kaise baat karun? Inhe toh bas meri shaadi karwane ki padi hai" Nitya says as she had often seen her parents speaking about her marriage.

"Lekin tumhe toh MD karna hai na.. Bade papa aur Badi Ma tumhari sunne se rahe.. Main toh kehti hun ghar se bhaag jao" Manvi said.

Nitya asked "Acha tum kyu nahi bhaagi ghar se ab tak? Chachi bhi toh tumhe sunati rehti hai kehti rehti hai iss baar exams nahi nikle toh shaadi kara dungi and all"

"Papa ka naam thodi kharab karungi main.." Manvi replies and Nitya raises her eyebrow.

Manvi holds her ears ''jawab maine khud diya.. Aur abhi tak koi rishta aaya bhi nahi hai! Jaisa ladka yeh log dundh rahe hai na waise iss zamane mein exist nahi karte hai so chill"

"Acha?? Toh kaise ladke exist karte hai?" Nitya asked.

"Mujhe nahi pata.. Lekin jo ladka mere liye hoga na wo hath ke hoga ek dum! Cool, smart, handsome dashing.. Romantic toh bahut hona chahiye! Maa ka laadla type bilkul nahi chahiye.. Ek dum Papa ki tarah hoga.. Sabko jawab dene waala" she described the personality she wanted.

Nitya smiled hearing her words "bhagwaan kare tujhe aisa hi ladka mile.. Aur bhagwaan kare mere liye koi rishta aaye hi na.. Aur main US jaa sakun padhai karne"

They hear a sound from downstairs, Manvi rushes towards the balcony and sees a car stopping in front of the house. She was shocked, she turned and informed "Nitu.. bhagat chachu aaye hai"

Nitya was nervous hearing her words. Bhagat Sharma was a close friend of Vivek and he has been granted work of looking for alliances for Nitya.

Nitya looks at her laptop, she was filling up her visa application for the US and if he actually brought a marriage proposal then her dream will be left unfulfilled.

Meanwhile, downstairs Vivek welcomes Bhagat into the house. Sadhna gets coffee for him and asks "bhaisab.. Nitya ke liye koi acha ladka mila?"

Bhagat smiled broadly "haan bhabhiji.. Darasal aaj subah main apne ek dost se milne gaya tha aur itefaq se wo bhi apne bade bete Aarav ke liye ladki dundh rahe hai.. Phir maine unhe Nitya ki tasveer dikhayi aur wo log aap sabse milna chahte hai" he informed.

Sadhna was thrilled to hear the news, Prerna kept her hand on her shoulder "maine kaha tha na Didi... Ye kaam bas yahi kar sakte hai.. "

"Naam toh bahut hi pyara hai ''Aarav" kaam kya karta hai?" Vivek questions.

"Architect hai.. Apne pure parivar ki zimmedari utha rakhi hai ladke ne.. Itna hi nahi apne chote bhai ko padhne ke liye videsh tak bheja hai usne! Bahut hi seedha saadha ladka hai, bado ki izzat karta hai aur parivar hamesha pehle aata hai uske liye! Jaisa ladka aap log Nitya beti ke liye dundh rahi hai waisa hi hai" Bhagat informed.

He forwards Aarav's photo to them which he collected in the morning from Anoop. Vivek looks and smiles "toh der kis baat ki hai.. Unhe ghar bulwayie" he said.

"Ji.. lekin wo log chandni chawk mein rehte hai aur.." Bhagat paused.

"Bhaisab.. Aap jante hai hamare liye parivar maan samman pyaar zyada zaroori hai! Aur aapne kaha ladka apni Chacha Chachi se kitna pyaar karta hai!" Sadhna said.

"Thik hai toh.. Main kal hi unhe bulwa leta hun" Bhagat suggests.

"Haan.. kal waise bhi Sunday hai toh mujhe hospital jana nahi hai!" Vivek agrees.

Bhagat has a conversation with the family and then leaves. Manvi who was hiding behind the pillar had heard the conversation.

Prerna was aware of her presence, she says "chupke chupke bado ki baat sunne ki aadat gayi nahi hai tumhari"

Manvi comes out from the hidden place and makes a face. She walked towards Sadhna and asked "badi maa.. Itni jaldi kya hai Nitu ki shaadi karne ki? Abhi usko MD karna hai"

"Beta.. MBBS ho gaya hai uska pura.. Doctor ban gayi hai! Isse zyada aur kya chahiye? Umar ho chali hai uski shaadi ki.. Kayde se tumhari bhi" Sadhna said meaningfully.

Manvi frowned "Offo.. I am 8 months younger to her.." she replied.

"Haa.. pata hai! Ab jaake padhai kar room mein! Kal Nitya ko dekhne ladke waale aayenge.." Prerna speaks. Manvi sighed deeply and walked upstairs to the room.

"It's confirmed.. Kal koi boring sa ladka aa raha hai tumhe dekhne" she said looking at her kneely.

Nitya gets sad hearing her. Manvi sits down beside her, Nitya looks at her and says "Mujhe nahi karni hai abhi shaadi.."

"Ye baat main jaanti hun samajhti hun.. Par hamare pyare gharwale hamari nahi sunenge! Main toh final ki wajah se bachi hui hun ab tak thank God" she murmurs.

Nitya hits her arm lightly "Yahan meri kal lagne wali hai aur tujhe mazak sujh raha hai"

Manvi tends to think about something. A smile appears on her face "Idea.. Agar ladka khud mana kare toh?" she asked.

"Wo kaise mana karega?" Nitya questions.

Manvi says "Dekho jaise Bhagat Chachu ne bataya.. Wo ladka mujhe senti lagta hai! Seedha saadha hai toh aasani se baat maan lega.. Tum keh dena tumhe shaadi nahi karni hai padhai karni hai.."

Nitya thought for a moment about it. Nitya said "lekin ye.. Uski feelings ko hurt karna hoga!"

"Tumhe apna sochna hai! US jaana hai ki nahi?" Manvi asked.

Nitya nods her head yes.. Manvi smiled and said "toh uske dimag se khelna hoga samjhi."

Nitya hugs her tightly "Thank you behena.. I love you"

"I love you too! Acha main padhai kar leti hun ab tum tabtak apna U.S. ka visa application pura karo'' Manvi replies.

She moves toward the study table while Nitya completes her Visa application.

Malhotra Niwas

Sharad, Karan, and Anoop were watching IPL, and the landline phone rings. Karan stands up and goes to pick up the phone. He lifts the receiver and places it to his ear "hello.. Karan Malhotra here"

"Namaste Karan ji.. Main bhagat bol raha hun" the voice said.

Karan keeps his hand on the receiver and says "bhai.. Zara tv band karo.. Bhagatji ka phone hai"

Anoop turns off the television and comes to him. Karan again asked "ji kahiye.."

"Wadhwa Ji ne kal aap logo ko apne ghar pe bulaya hai! Thik shyam 5 baje pahunch jayega..." he said.

Karan was elated hearing the news "ji.. Ji hum pahuch jayenge! Aap bas unka pata Aarav ko message kar dijiyega"

"Haan wo main abhi kar deta hun" he said and disconnected the call.

Anoop asked "kya hua Karan?"

"Bhabhi.. Nandu.. Sab log bahar aao" he shouts.

Everyone comes out leaving their work. "Kya hua Karan?" Nandini asked.

"Subah bhagat ji ne jis rishte ke baare mein bataya tha na! Kal bulaya hai hame" Karan shared.

Ishika spoke jokingly "matlab phir se Aarav bhai ka popat banne wala hai!"

Anita hit her head from behind and said "Aise nahi kehte hai!"

"Kalse bahut chedd rahe ho tum aur Ani usko.. Bura maan gaya na toh ek bhi ladki dekhne nahi jayega!" Pooja said, looking at Aniket and Ishika.

"Isme hamari kya galti hai? Namune rishte hi aa rahe hai Dada ke liye! Unki shaadi hogi toh mera number aayega.. '' Aniket replies.

Aarav enters home, he removes his shoes. Ishika sees him entering, she goes and pulls him "Aarav bhai.. Kal hum aapke liye ek aur ladki dekhne jane waale hai"

Aarav smiled lightly at her. "Haa.. doctor hai ladki! Iss baar toh rishta pakka ho hi jayega" Pooja spoke confidently.

"Dada.. aapki new shirts hai na.. Wo blue waali pehenna usme bahut smart dikhte ho aap" Aniket ordered.

"Acha.. Bhagat ne address bheja hoga zara phone de.. Pata toh kare rehte kaha hai wo log" Karan asked.

Aarav takes out his phone and hands it to him. Karan opens and they locate the address on the google maps.

"Haye daiyaa.. E log toh bahut hi badiya colony mein rehte hain main toh apni nayi waali saree pehen ke jaungi" Anita said.

"Haa haa wo log toh Aarav ke bajaye ye dekhenge na uski mami ne kya pehna hai" Sharad comments leaving everyone laughing.

Aarav moves upstairs, Nandini watches him. She follows him, Anita said "jiji.. Tumhe jaana chahiye na"

"Anita.. Nandini sambhal legi! Chalo kitchen mein madad karo meri" she pulls her towards the kitchen.

"Dada toh kuch bole hi nahi.." Aniket said

"Thak gaya hoga na.. Kaam bahut tha usko aaj office mein" Karan made up the excuse.

Aniket was smart enough to understand, he was about to go upstairs but Karan pulled him back.

"Maa bete ko baat karne do" Karan concluds.

"Thik hai.. Choti maa se maan jaate hai toh thik warna mujhe aate hai tarike unhe manane ke" Aniket replies.

Anoop turns on the television and they continue watching the IPL match.

Aarav's Room

He places his things and takes out the trouser and t-shirt from his wardrobe. He removes his shirt and wears the t-shirt. He turns and sees Nandini placing the bag properly on the side.

"Duggu... tu pareshan mat ho! Ye rishta pehle waalo jaisa nahi hai.. Ladki doctor hai" Nandini informed.

Aarav folds the shirt and places it into the laundry bucket "Kya farak padta hai choti maa? Jo pehle hua hai kal bhi wahi hoga" he said.

Nandini moves to him and makes him sit on the bed. She held his hand and said "aisa kyun soch raha hai duggu? Ek - do ladkiyon ne tujhe reject kar diya toh kya mere bache ko koi ladki pasand nahi karegi haan?"

"Chodo na choti maa.. Mujhe nahi jaana hai kal! Peechli baar kitna embarrassing tha.. Ani aur Ishi ab tak mujhe chedte hai '' he said.

"Wo dono toh aise hi hai! Unki baat kab se tujhe buri lagne lagi? Haan?" Nandini questions.

"Choti maa.. Un dino ki baat ka bura maine kabhi nahi maana hai! Par mujhe nahi jaana hai aur ladkiyan dekhne aap please sabko bol do zyda uchle na kal ke liye" Aarav said.

Nandini smiles hearing his words, she says "Tu jaanta hai.. Tere chote papa ke dekhne se pehle char ladko ne mujhe mana kiya tha!"

Aarav was shocked hearing that, he glanced at her and Nandini said "haan.. Main bhi aise hi bahut upset hui thi.. Lagta tha kami hai mujhmein par aaj sochti hun toh lagta hai! Agar wo chaar ladke mujhe reject nahi karte toh tere chote papa kaise meri zindagi mein aate? Isliye jo hota hai na ache ke liye hota hai duggu.."

Aarav silently heard her, she smeared his head and said "aur ladki ke reject karne se hum tujhse pyaar karna thodi kam kar denge? Jab Tak perfect ladki nahi milegi hum haar nahi manenge samjhe"

"Matlab aap log mujhe suli pe chada ke hi maanoge" Aarav asked, raising his eyebrow.

"Yess...." he heard the loud voices of everyone.

He glanced towards the door and found everyone standing there. Aniket enters and jumps on him from behind "dada.. Maante hai ki aap choti maa aur maa ke pallu se bahar nikle nahi ho abtak.. Lekin hum bhi dheeitt hai aapki shaadi karke rahenge"

Aarav smiled hearing his words.

"Aur kya Aarav bhai.. Bhabhi toh laake rahenge" Ishika says, giving him a side hug.

"Chalo ab sab khana khane.. Kal ki taiyari bhi karni hai" Pooja said.

Everyone moves downstairs, Aniket warns Aarav "Dada.. kal ladki ne aapko reject kiya na toh ghar mein ghusne nahi dunga samjhe!"

"Acha.. mujhe ghar mein aane se rokoge?" Aarav asked.

"Haan dada.. Seedha aapko leke jaunga US! Waha pe kum se kum aap kuch dekhoge toh sahi.. Naak katake rakhi hai apne chote bhai ki '' Aniket complaints.

"Beta.. tera number jab aayega na tab baat karunga" Aarav said, slapping his back from behind.

"Excuse me.. Mujhe namune rishton ki zaroorat nahi hai! Ani apne liye ladki khud select karega.." Aniket spoke.

"Wo main ache se jaanta hun! Kamse kam tum mere jaise nahi ho.. Maa papa sabko itna pareshan toh nahi hona padega.." Aarav said.

"Dada.. aap aisa kyun keh rahe ho? Hame bhi toh ek perfect ladki chahiye aapke liye.. Aise thodi kisi se muh utha ke aapki shaadi karwa denge.. Bharosa rakho kal zaroor haan hogi" Aniket spoke confidently.

Aarav ruffled his hair and both the brothers commenced downstairs. Everyone was having dinner and discussing tomorrow.

Aarav thought "kal toh haan kar hi dunga.. Gharwale kitna pareshan ho rahe hai! Aur rishte nahi dekhne hai mujhe bahut ho gaya ye tamasha"
