Next day Sameer and Rohan were sleeping till 9 am after coming back late last night, meeting their soul partners. Their sleep disturbed when a chirpy, naughty girl came running to their room and jump on them to wake then... "bhaiyaaaaaaaaaaaaaa"

Sameer & Rohan opened their eyes and saw Deepika was standing in middle of the bed jerking them both... "surprise.... utho na... dekho kaun kaun aaya hai"... they both hold her tightly and had a group hug kissing her on both her cheeks by her lovely brothers..

Sameer said excitedly, "wow.. yeh toh bahut achchha surprise hai... tum kab aayi, aur kiske saath aayi ho"... Deepika replied all excited, "mein Mummy, Papa ke saath aayi hun... Daadi baad mein aayengi... aap donon chalo na baahar.. sab aapka wait kar rahe hai..." They both get up and went outside and greet their parents formally...

After very formal discussions on their where abouts they came back to their room and gets ready for factory...

Nanu asked Vivek, "beta achaanak kaise aana huaa... bata dete toh gaadi bhej deta airport lene"...

Vivek, "bas Papa Deepika donon bhaiyon ko bahut yaaad kar rahi thi aur humein bhi unse mile kaafi waqt ho gaya tha toh socha sabko surprise de dete hai... bas iss baar Diwali yahin manane ka faisla kiya hai, vaise bhi bachchon ke bina tyohar bada suna suna lagta hai... do teen din mein Maa bhi aa rahi hai par voh sirf do din hi rukegi.. Diwali ke liye voh Mumbai ja rahi hai, apani behen ke paas"

Vishakha, "aur haan Papa, meri Kamlesh bhai sahab se bhi baat hui thi, voh bhi dopahar tak aa rahe hai Baroda se... hum ne socha iss baar Diwali sab ek saath yahin manayenge... aur unki bahu Poonam ki god bharai bhi isi hafte hai toh yahin sabke saath hi kar lenge"

Nanu, "arey wah, yeh toh achchhi baat hai... ghar mein raunak lag jayegi... Poonam ki god bharai ke saath hi Diwali party bhi ho jaayegi .... Vishakha tum khud saari taiyari dhyaan se kar lena aur jisko bhi bulana hai bula lena.. Prabha ke saath milkar.. koi kami nahin honi chahiye... aakhir mein par dada banane wala hun"..

(Kamlesh is Nanu's nephew who is handling his Baroda factory with his son Devang... His wife is Prabha, very rude, cunning harsh & strict lady but her daughter-in-law Poonam is very sweet and innocent – same as in serial)

Sameer, Rohan joined them at breakfast table, enjoying & teasing of non-stop chatter box Deepika. Nanu, "are tum donon bhi apne saare doston ko bula lena... do din baad Poonam ki god bharai aur Diwali party hai ghar mein... khoob maja aayega"... Rohan looked at Sameer with some doubts, Sameer blinked his eyes and assured that they will talk later... after breakfast, both left with Nanu for factory assuring to come back soon to Deepika....

At factory, Nanu called them both, "mein tum donon se kuchh baat karna chahta tha, socha ghar par sahi nahin rahega isiliye yahaan bulaya hai"

Rohan, "kahiye na Nanu, aisi kya baat hai jo aapn itne pareshaan lag rahe hai.. factory ka kuchh jaruri kaam hai toh bataiye hum donon jaldi khatam kar denge"...

Nanu smiled, "nahin factory ka nahin, mein soch raha tha ki tum donon parso function mein Naina aur Preeti ko bhi bula lo... ek baar voh donon bhi Vishakha aur Vivek se mil lengi toh achchha rahega... ab waqt aa gaya hai ki unhein bhi pata hona chahiye tumhari pasand ke baare mein... tumhein kya lagta hai"..

Sameer replied, "Nanu agar aap ko lagta hai toh theek hai... mujhe koi problem nahin... vaise bhi chhupane se kya fayda, aaj nahin toh kal pata chal hi jayega aur yeh Naina Preeti ke liye bhi theek rahega, kyun Rohan"...

Rohan was quiet lost in deep thinking, "Nanu mujhe nahin lagta hamare badon mein itni samajh hai aur unhein hamari khushiyon ki koi parwaah bhi hai... par agar aapko theek lagta hai toh mujhe koi pareshaani nahin, par aap unhein bol dijiyega ki hum sirf unhein milwa rahe hai, faisla ho chuka hai jise ab koi bhi badal nahin sakta... mainly Dadi aur Papa, mujhe pata hai voh toh pakka Preeti mein kamiyaan hi nikalengi kyunki unki expectation toh hi-fi society ladki hi hogi mere liye"...

Sameer, "nahin Rohan, Mummy aur Mr Somani tujhse bahut pyaar karte hai.. voh jarur tujhe samjhenge, dekh lena... aur Preeti hai bhi kitni achchhi, tu chinta mat kar"..

Rohan left the room agreeing on their decision but assure that he will not agree to them even if they didn't like his girl... Sameer went to Nanu, "par Nanu aap mummy ko please pehle hi Naina ke baare mein bata dena.. mein nahin chahta koi tamasha ho, ya Naina ke dil ko thes pahunche... aap samajh rahe hai na.. aur haan please voh accident se judi baatein mat bataiyega, Naina ko achchaa nahin lagega, usse lagta hai ki log iss baat ko ek ehsaan ke roop mein samjhenge "... Nanu smiled, "tu chinta mat kar... mein samajhta hun, jab usane apne pariwar ko kuchh nahin bataya toh phir yahaan bhi kisiko sach nahin pata chalega... vaise mujhe vishwas hai ki voh itni pyaari hai ki koi bhi usse mana kar hi nahin sakta... baaki mein sab sambhal lunga, tu bas usse bata de aur baaki sabko bhi invite kar dena.. saare bachche saath honge toh achchha rahega"...

In afternoon, Mamaji's family too reached at Maheshwari house....

Mamiji : Vishakha didi, mein toh bahut khush hun ki Poonam ki god bharai aur Diwali iss baar sab ek saath yahaan hi manayenge.. kitna waqt ho gaya sabko mile huye... chalo jaldi se saare kaam ki list bana lete hai, ab itna bada function hai kuchh kami nahin rehni chahiye... aakhir Maheshwari's ki party hai, sab kuchh ek dam first class hona chahiye... ab agar Mumbai mein hote toh kya mast taiyari karti par koi nahin, yahaan Ahmabadab mein bhi theek thaak samaan mil hi jayega...

Vishakha laughing, "haan bhabhi, Papa bhi yahi kar rahe the... yeh dekhiye guest list toh taiyar bhi hai... aap dekh lijiye agar kisi aur ka naam bhi likhna hai"... she handed over list to Mamaji...

Mamaji, "mujhe kuchh apne ek-do doston ka naam jodna hai bas, baaki sab theek hai... waise Didi agar aap bura na maane toh, mere ek dost hai yahaan, bahut bade business man hai aur unki eklauti beti bhi hai jo mujhe Sameer ke liye bahut pasand hai... agar aap chaho toh mein unko bol deta hun, voh usse bhi le aayegne function mein, aap mil lena... agle saal college khatam ho jaaye phir shaadi ka bhi soch lenge aur isase hamare business ko bhi bada fayda hoga"

Vivek said coolly, " bhai sahab, ladki achchhi ho toh theek hai par mujhe nahin lagta aise personal aur professional baatein jodni chahiye... vaise bhi jaruri nahin ki Sameer ko pasand aaye, aur abhi padaai bhi kahaan poori hui hai, phir business mein bhi settle hona hai usse abhi... aapko nahin lagta thoda jaldi ho raha hai"..

Mamaji, "are jijaji mein kahaan kah raha hun ki aaj hi shaadi kar do... baat chalate hain, baaki sab baad mein dekh lenge, aur phir business families mein toh rishtey hote hi hai, aakhir barabari mein hi toh shaadi byaah hota hai.. phir bachchon ko in sab ki kahaan samjha, ab hum bade hi toh dekhenge yeh sab ki unki bhalai kis mein hai "

They discuss some more time and finalize the preparation for functions ...

In factory, Sameer called Naina to inform her and invite for the function,

Samaina said together, "Hello"

Naina, "kya hua iss waqt phone kiya, sab theek toh hai na... tum toh hamesha raat ko hi phone karte ho"

Sameer, "bas tumhari yaad aa rahi thi, ab yaad koi waqt dekh kar toh aati nahin, vaise bhi kal raat ke baad se tumhari bahut yaad aa rahi hai, milne ka man bhi kar raha hai par yahaan factory mein bahut kaam hai varna abhi aa jaata milne... kal man hi nahin kar raha tha vaapas aane ka"

Naina to tease him, "kyun kal aisa kya tha... kuchh khaas occasion tha"

Sameer, "haan mere liye toh bahut khaas tha, kyunki kisi mere apne ne meri salamati aur khushiyon ke liye poore din bhukhe pyase rah kar prarthna jo ki thi... sach Naina, mein bahut lucky hun jo tum meri zindagi mein aayi.. kal jo tumne kiya voh toh mein sapne mein bhi soch nahin sakta tha... kaise kar paati ho tum yeh sab.. vaise ek baat thi, tumhein toh saare din wait ki jarurat hi nahin thi, tumhara personal chand toh din mein bhi aa sakta tha, bas ek baar bula leti pyaar se.."

Naina, "dhat... tum bhi na, kuchh bhi kehte ho... yeh toh mere dil ne kaha aur maine bas kar liya, aur dekho na kal tum bina kahe, bina bataye aa bhi gaye mera vrat poora karne, ab jab tum mujhse itna pyaar karte ho toh itna haq toh hai tumhara bhi ki meri har duaa tumhare liye hi ho.... achchha yeh sab chhodo pehle bataao khaana khaaya, kaam ke chakkar mein bhool toh nahin gaye"...

Sameer smiled, "haan kha aliya... achchha suno mujhe abhi jaana hai kaam se, maine tumhein yeh batane ke liye phone kiya tha ki Mummy aayi hai aaj subah, aur parso Poonam Bhabhi ki god bharaai ki rasam hai ghar par, tumhein, Preeti, Swati aur Priya ko aana hai, Nanu ke kaha hai"..

Naina nervously, "nahin Sameer, matlab tumhare ghar function par, sab kya kahenge, kya sochenge, please mein kaise aaungi"..

Sameer, "ji nahin koi bahaana nahin chalega, aur phir mein, Rohan, Nanu sab hai na tumhare saath, saare dost honge, tum ghabrao mat, bas time par aa jaaana.. aur haan mera ek kaam karogi... tum please voh jo tumne Mount abu mein white suit pehna tha, jis tarah tum taiyar hui thi, theek vaise hi taiyar hokar aana... mera bahut man hai tumhein phir se ek baar vaise hi dekhne ka... please aaogi na" she smiles and assured him... they disconnect the call and Sameer left to complete the pending jobs in hand...

Next day in evening at Maheshwari mansion, Nanu came back early and discussed for all preparation with Vishakha..

Vishakha : Papa aap chinta mat kijiye, saari preparations mein khud dekh rahi hun, sab achchhe se hoga, sabko invitation bhi chale gaye hai"

Nanu, "voh Vishakha, mujhe tumse kuchh baat karni thi, darasal Sameer aur Rohan ke baare mein"

Vishakha asked worriedly, "haan Papa boliye na aisi kya baat hai jo aap itna soch rahe hai, kahin yeh donon aapko jyada pareshaan toh nahin karte"

Nanu, "arey nahin aisi baat nahin hai, donon toh ulta mera bohot khayal rakhte hai.. asal mein kal ke function mein maine in donon ke sab doston ko bhi bulwaya hai, tumse milwane ke liye"

Vishakha, "haan toh mein jaanti hun na Munna Pandit ko, ab Munna toh pariwaar ka hi bachcha hai, usake mummy papa bhi aayenge kal function mein".

Nanu, "haan voh toh hai par maine Naina Preeti ko bhi bulaya hai, badi pyaari bachchiyaan hai aur Sameer Rohan ko pasand bhi hai... mein chahta hun ki kal tum unse milon"

Vishakha smiled widely, "oh toh yeh baat hai, girlfriends ... mujhe laga hi nahin ki mere bachche itne bade bhi ho gaye... mujhe pata hai in donon ki pasand sabse best hi hogi... achchha hai meri yeh chinta bhi inhone khud hi dur kar di"...

Nanu, "haan mujhe pata hai tumhein dekhte hi pasand aa jaayegi... mein mila hun donon se kai baar... par mujhe tumhein kuchh aur bhi batana hai"...

Nanu was about to tell her about Naina when Prabha came and take Vishakha along with her, "arey didi aap jaldi chaliye na, Poonam ki saari decide karni hai... ab uska function hai toh usse toh sabse achchha lagna hi hoga na"... Vishakha left with Prabha saying, "Papa aap chinta mat kijiye, aapki pasand meri pasand hai... baaki kal toh mil hi lungi"

Later Vishakha shared her excitement with Prabha, who created a doubt in her mind, "didi dekh bhaal kar decision lena, inka kya hai, yeh toh bachche hai, par aapko toh society aur status ka dhyan rakhna padega na.. zindagi bhar ka sawaal hai.... phir kal aapki saas bhi aa rahi hai, Rohan ke liye toh voh vaise bhi jyada hi possessive hai"... she left Vishakha in tension.... Vishakha informed to Vivek who assured her, "Vishakha agar papa kah rahe hai toh jarur ladkiyaan achchhi hi hogi, tum chinta mat karo, agar sab theek lagega toh mein khud Mummy ko mana lunga.. hamare liye bachchon ki Khushi se badkar kuchh nahin hona chaahiye, vaise bhi donon hi humse kitna dur dur rehte hai, anjaano ki tarah" he wiped corner of his eyes and left in garden to control his emotions...

Nanu came to him and put his hand on his shoulder, "arey Vivek yahaan akele kya kar rahe ho... kuchh pareshaan lag rahe ho.."

He plastered a fake smile, " voh bas kuchh nahin Papa ji.. aise hi soch raha tha ki kya kabhi mein apne pariwar ko ek saath dekh paaunga... meri ek galti ne sab barbaad kar diya.."

Nanu looked him surprisingly, "mein kuchh samjha nahin.. kya baat ho gayi.."

Vivek, "bas aaj jab apne beto se mila toh ehsaas huaa ki voh mujhse kitne dur ho gaye hai, aisa laga jaise formality ke liye paer chhuye ho... maine galti ki jab Sameer ko bachpan mein sabse dur kiya, akele chhoda aur uska ehsaas mujhe Rohan ke dur jaane se hua.. pata laga bina pariwar ke rehna kya hota hai.. aaj sochta hun toh sharam aati hai ki Sameer ne apna pura bachpan kaise akele kaata hoga, mujhse toh Rohan ki kuchh dinon ki duri hi nahin jheli gayi... pata nahin kaise sab theek hoga, apne guilt ki wajah se hi maine kabhi Rohan ko vaapas bhi nahin bulaya aur uski yahaan aane ki zid bhi maan li... par sach bohot yaad aati hai donon ki... uss ek saal jab Sameer hamare ghar par raha toh ghar kaise hara bhara sa lagta tha... maana maine kabhi jyaada baat nahin ki par apne aas paas usse mehsoos karke hi itni khushi milti thi ki kya kahun... aaj dekhiye teeno bachche ek saath kitne khush hai.. kaash yeh khushi ki awaaj mein apne ghar mein bhi sun pata... par ab mein poori koshish karunga apni galti sudharne ki... isiliye iss baar yahaan aakar Diwali manane ki sochi, shayad kuchh theek kar paaun..."

Nanu patted on his back smiling with tears, "mein khush hun ki tum apani galti samajh gaye... haan naraaz tha mein tumse pehle par koi nahin... abhi bhi der nahin huyi hai... koshish karoge toh sab theek ho jayega... vaise bhi bachche hain, kab tak apne maa baap se naraaz rahenge..." he thinks in his mind, "bhagwan jaldi hi in sabka roshta theek kar dijiye... mein iss duniya se jaane se pehle apne bete ko ek bhara pura pariwar dena chahta hun... Naina hogi usake saath par maa baap ki kami toh rahegi na.. kaash jaldi se sab theek ho jaaye...."
