Nanu glares angrily to three of them sitting with lowering their heads.... he turned to Vivek and said in firm voice, "Vivek, kal shaam ko taiyaar rehna, hum Naina Preeti ke ghar jaa rahe hai, sagaai ki date final karne.. mein Anand ko bol dunga voh apne pandit ji ko bula lenge..." he turned to others, "aur haan, ab iss maamle mein mujhe kisi se na kuchh kehna hai na puchhna... jise bhi chalana ho voh kal chup chap taiyar ho jaaye varna mein akela bhi ja sakta hun... abhi inti taakat hai mujh mein ki mein apne bachche ki Khushi usey de sakun... vaise bhi Sameer mera eklauta waaris hai, legally bhi.. aur Rohan, usake liye faisla maine usake baap se puchh kar liya hai, toh jise jo samjhana hai samjhe".... he starts leaving to his room and turned back, "aur haan, yeh dhyan rahe sabko ki yeh rishta maine joda hai, maine vaada kiya hai, toh koi aisi baat ya galat kaam na ho jisse rishton mein daraar aa jaaye... baaki aap sab log samjhdaar hi ho"... he left to his room closing the door.

Vivek turned to them, "aap log bhi ab bas kijiye aur samajhiye ki bachchon ki Khushi kis mein hai... mein in donon rishton se khush bhi hun aur mera aashirwaad bhi hai... Vishakha mujhe lagta hai ab tumhein bhi apni zid chhod deni chahiye... aur Kamlesh bhai sahab, business mein tarakki ke liye mehanat ki jaati hai, bachchon ki khushiyon ko becha nahin jaata... hamare donon bete bohot laayak hai aur apni mehanat se ek din business ko aur unchaiyon par le jaayegne... aap log thande dimaag se soch lijiye... kahin aisa na ho ki aaj jo samman mil raha hai voh kahin apmaan mein na badal jaaye..." he was going to his room when saw Rohan & Sameer standing there... he smiled and patted on his shoulder and left...

Rohan Sameer too left out with Deepika for her request to have ice-cream... they called Munna Pandit too and enjoy outside, having fun with their little munchkin....

Vishakha was sitting alone in terrace when Prabha came, "didi aap chinta mat kijiye... abhi sirf sagaai ko hi toh baat huyi hai, aur phir us mein bhi toh waqt hai... hum sab mil kar koshish karenge toh sahayd waqt rehte sabko ehsaas dila saken ki yeh rishtey theek nahin hai... bas aapko thodi himmat rakhni hogi"..

Vishakha replied taking a deep breathe, "pata nahin Bhabhi, kabhi kabhi lagta hai kahin mein hi toh galat nahin hun... jab Papa aur Vivek bhi khush hai toh mujhe bhi maan hi jaana chahiye... shayad kuchh samay baad mein bhi Naina ko pasand kar paaun... aur nahin bhi kiya toh kya, kam se kam Sameer toh mujhse naraaz nahin hoga.. aaj tak kuchh bhi huaa ho par mere bete ne mujhse kabhi unchi awaaz mein baat nahin ki par ab shayad voh badal gaya hai, usake liye apni Maa se jyaada Naina pyaari ho gayi hai.... kahin mera zid mein mera beta mujhse dur na ho jaaye.... aur Rohan, jise maine bachpan se god mein paala hai, aaj voh toh meri shakal tak nahin dekhna chahta... mera hona ya na hona jaise ab kisi ke liye maayane hi nahin rakhta... aapko pata hai aaj pehli baar Vivek ne mujhse aise baat ki hai..."

Prabha hold her from shoulder and said, "kya Didi aap bhi na, itani jaldi koi haar maanta hai kya... dekhiye ghar chalana aur duniyadari nibhana hamesha se hi aurton ka kaam huya hai, aadmiyon ko kya pata ki ghar kaise chalta hai jo voh jaakar ghar ki bahu pasand karenge... agar voh galti kar rahe hai toh humein hi unhein samjhana padega na... hum kuchh soch lenge bas aap haan kah dijiye, aur hamara saath dijiye... ab aap hi sochiye na jis bete ne kabhi unchi awaaz mein aapse baat nahin ki voh aaj apni zindagi ke itane bade faisle mein aapki razamandi ki parwah bhi nahin kar raha aur Rohan us par toh jaise kisi ne jaadu kar diya ho, kisi se seedhe munh baat tak nahin kar raha, aur toh aur apni Dadi ka bhi intzaar nahin karna chahta voh... yehi sabut hai unaki galat sangati ka... aur maine suna tha Ramdhari bata raha tha ki Naina iss ghar mein aati jaati hai kai baar, ab socho aise jab ghar mein koi aurat nahin hai toh uska yahaan aana kya theek hai... apne bholepan ke dikhawe se hi usne sab ko bewkoof banaya hoga"...

Vishakha again starts thinking in wrong way and agreed with Prabha, "par hum kar bhi kya sakte hai Bhabhi... hamari koi sun hi nahin raha... theek hai, jaisa Papa chahte hai hum kal chalte hai unke ghar... dekhe kaisi khaatirdaari karenge voh middle class log hamari... unhein bhi toh pata chale ki itane bade pariwaar mein rishta jodna aasaan nahin hai.. unhein unki aukat bhi toh batani hai...." Kamlesh was listening their talk standing from some distance and smirks evilly...

In night, Nanu went to Sameer's room who was standing near window looking outside, Rohan was out in garden talking with Preeti on phone...

Nanu, "Sameer kya hua, kya soch raha hai.. Vishakha ke baare mein.." he turned and hugged him, "kyun Nanu, har baar meri hi khushiyaan kyun nahin nazar aati mummy ko... aap jaante ho na mein kitna pyaar karta hun Naina se, phir kyun voh ek baar sab bhool kar meri Khushi ke liye dil se nahin raazi ho jaati... kya duniya dikhawa hi sab kuchh hai unake liye... kya soch kar aaj unhone Sunaina ko iss ghar mein bulaya tha... Mamaji ne ek baar socha bhi nahin ki aapse izazat le le... meri zindagi un sab ke liye ek business deal ban gayi hai..."

Nanu caressed his hair and said, "tu kyun chinta karta hai, mein hun na abhi tere liye... tum donon ki khushiyaan anmol hai mere liye, aise kaise koi paise ke tarazu mein tol sakta hai... aur voh Mr Parekh, ab toh galti se hamare ghar ki taraf mud kar bhi nahin dekhega... voh jaanta hai meri baat na manane ka nateeja..."

Sameer smiled when Nanu asked hin, "dekh agar tu kahe toh mein accident wali baat bata sakta hun Vishakha ko, par ..."

Sameer cut his sentence in between, "nahin Nanu, please aisa mat kijiyega... aapko pata hai na Naina nahin chahti ki kisi ko pata chale, us ne toh mujhe hi kitni mushkil se bataya tha... aur phir mein bhi chahta hun ki Mummy usse dil se apnaye, sirf ek ehsaan utarane ke liye nahin.. iss tarah toh kabhi bhi dil se rishtey nahin jud payenge..."

he paused and said, "Nanu us ne bohot kuchh saha hai aur mein nahin chahta ki usaki achchhai, usaki neki kisi ehsaan ke bojh se dab jaaye... aap janate ho agar baat khuli toh usake apne ghar par bhi pata chal jayegi... Chachaji ko kitna dukh hoga ki usane unhein kuchh nahin bataya aaj tak... aap please yeh sab kisi se mat kehna..." Nanu too agreed saying, "shayad tu sahi hi kah raha hai... mein bhi chahta hun ki yeh log usako dil se apnaye na ki taras kha kar... vaise bhi voh laakhon mein ek hai, ussey koi majboori mein apnaye toh yeh usake saath bhi nainsaafi hogi... usse usake haq ki khushiyaan milani hi chahiye...." they only Rohan came inside, "aur kya Nanu... meri Bhabhi sabse best hai... ab yeh log nahin samajhate toh na samjhe... humein kisi ki parwaah nahin... hum hai na dil khol kar unka swagat karenge iss ghar mein... jalane wale jalate rah jayenge... kyun hai na Sameer.... dekhna jis din Bhabhi iss ghar mein aayengi, poora Ahmedabad dekhega ki swagat kise kahte hai... aisi dhoom machegi ki logon ke kaan ke parde phat jaayenge.... aur haan... kisi ke Mumbai tak awaaz jayegi..." trio laughed and hugged....

Next morning, Nanu called Anand and told him about their plan to come and fix the date for engagement...

Anand, "Bela, Jaiprakash ji ka phone aaya tha, voh aaj poore pariwar ke saath aa rahe hai sagaai ki date fix karne... jaldi se saari taiyari shuru karo, bohot kam time hai"....

Bela asked nervously, "voh sab toh theek hai Priti ke Papa par abhi tak humne ghar ke badon ko toh bataya hi nahin hai, ek baar baat toh karni hi padegi na... aur phir Rakesh bhaisahab Naina ke Papa hai, unhein toh aana hi padega na aaj baat karne ke liye"...

Anand looked at her and said firmly, "Bela meri betiyon ki Khushi un logon ki mohtaaz nahin hai jinke dil se kabhi unke liye aashirwaad tak nahin nikla... haan batana jaruri hai toh mein abhi jaakar bata deta hun... uhnein aana hoga toh aayen varna mein akela hi kaafi hun, par agar voh sochenge ki mein unke paer padun ya request karun toh voh ab mujhse nahin hoga.... chalo abhi bata aate hai, phir taiyari bhi toh karni hai..." saying this he left to Taiji's house followed by Bela... they knock the door and went inside...

Taiji make faces seeing them and turned to other side adjusting her pallu, "aaj aaye hai humse maafi maangne... ab aayi na akal thikane donon ki...."

Anand looked at Bela and turned to Tauji & Rakesh, "Bhai sahab, voh mujhe aap logon ko kuchh batana tha... dar asal Naina aur Preeti ke liye rishta aaya hai aur aaj shaam ko ladke wale ghar aane waale hai"...

Tauji asked rudely, "haan toh tum toh ghar ke bade ho na, apne aap sab tay kar lo, tumhein hamari kya jarurat hai"... Rakesh too said in same tone, "aur vaise bhi ab mera uss ladki se koi rishta nahin hai toh phir mere hone ki kya jarurat hai"...

Anand, "bhai sahab, aap maane ya na maane par uss din jo bhi hua voh sarasar galat tha, par ab mein uss baat ko bhool chuka hun kyunki meri beti bach gayi un ghatiya logon ke ghar jaane se.."

Taiji cut him in between and said, "O bai... haan toh ab kaun sa kisi Rajkumar ka rishta aaya hai us karamjali ke liye.."

Anand smiled looking at Bela, "voh Bhai sahab aap toh jaante hi honge, Jaiprakash Maheshwari ji ko, unhi ke bade naati ka rishta aaya hai Naina ke liye, aur unke chhote naati ka rishta Preeti ke liye.. bachche ek hi college mein hai aur ek dusre ko pasand bhi karte hai"...

Tauji got shocked when Taiji abruptly said, "O bai, Maheshwari... Anand babu aapka dimaag toh kharaab nahin hai... gair biradari mein shaadi karwa kar naak katwayenge aap hum sab ki... kuchh bhi ho jaaye mein yeh rishta nahin hone dungi.." she jerked her husband who was still in shock, "dekha aapne ... mein na kehti thi ki yeh ladkiyaan ek din pakka hamari naak katwayengi... aur bhejiye inhein college padne ke liye.."

Tauji came back to sense and asked, "Anand, yeh wahi hai na Maheshwari Industries wale.."

Anand nodded in yes and smiled... he asked further, "theek hai tum jaao, hum shaam tak soch kar batayenge".. Anand and Bela left and gets busy in preparation...

Taiji, "O Bai, yeh aap kya kah rahe ho... hum nahin jayenge aise rishtey ke liye haa kehne.. ab iss ghar mein prem vivaah honge, bas yehi din dekhne ko rah gaya tha kya..."

Tauji shouts on her, "chup raho Beena... bas baatein karwa lo tumse toh... jara bhi dimaag hota toh tumhein pehle pata chal jata ki ladkiyaan ghar ke baahar kya kar rahi hai, kisse milti julti hai.... itni badi baat ho gayi aur tum baith kar Bela ke haath se banwa kar khaana khaane mein hi busy rahi... aaj tumhari bewkoofi ki wajah se woh log Anand se rishtey ki baat kar rahe hai, ussey samman de rahe hai.. tumhein pata bhi hai voh log kaun hai... Ahmadabad ke sabse bade sabse raees log hai who.. poore Ahmadabad mein koi unki baat nahin taal sakta, toh tum aur mein toh cheej hi kya hai... itna bada aalishaan bangla hai unka, naukar chaakar, gaadi, factory... Naina ke toh bhaag hi khool gaye... raani ban kar rahegi uss ghar mein.... mujhe pata hai unka eklauta vaaris hai voh ladka... hum jaiso ko naukar rakhne ki haisiyat hai unki..."

Taiji sits on sofa with a thud voice holding her head, "O Bai... iss karamjali ke itane thaath honge aur hum yahaan garibon ki tarah rahenge... yeh toh mein kabhi hone nahin dungi.... dekhti hun kaise woh log is rishte ko jodte hai"...

Tauji shouts on her, "chup raho aur ab koi bewkoofi mat karna... tumhein kya lagta hai agar baat rishtey tak pahunchi hai toh tumhari razamandi ki kisiko parwaah bhi hogi... ulta hamara bhala toh isi mein hai ki hum koshish karen ki iss rishtey ka saara credit humein hi mile na ki uss Anand ko... agar aisa huaa toh samaaj mein aur mere kaam mein mera bohot naam hoga... Jaiprakash ji ka samdhi hona hi apne aap mein bohot badi baat hai... log tarasate hai unse sirf ek mulaqat karne ke liye... toh khabardaar iss rishtey ko todne ka socha bhi toh.... agar hamara faayda ho raha hai toh hone do na, issey hamare Pralay ka bhavishya bhi sudhar jaayega... mujhe pata hai ki uss ladke ka apne Nanaji ke alawa koi aur nahin hai, toh achchha hai na, hum jo kahenge sar jhuka kar sun lega... usse apni mutthi mein karna hai bas, phir dekhna hamare kya thaath honge... ab toh tum koshish karo ki in sab mein hamara faayda sabse jyada ho, bas hamara hi naam aaye har jagah poori shaadi mein... samjhi kuchh"

Taiji smiled evilly, "ab dekhiye ki yeh Beena Aggarwal kya karti hai... kaise sabko apne sheeshe mein utarti hun... itna achchha mauka kya mein aise hi jaane dungi ... uss Bela ki toh vaise bhi awaaz hi nahin nikalti mere saamne... par ek baat bataiye, in Rakesh Babu ka kya karein jo munh fula kar baithe hai... kahin inki wajah se rishta toot gaya toh"

Tauji, "tum chinta mat karo, voh toh vaise bhi bewkoof hai, jo mein kahunga chup karke maan lega... mein mana lunga usko aur koshish karna ki voh vahaan sirf baithe, apna munh na khole... jab munh kholta hai aag hi ugalata hai... aur tum bhi soch samajh kar munh kholna... bohot bade aadmi hai voh.. kuchh bhi ulta seedha kiya toh jhat se bhaanp lenge... samjhi bewkoof aurat..."

They made their evil plans, how to take the credit and smiled thinking on their victory...
