Shakti,Pinky and Shivaay went to Annika's room.

Sh-(in mind)-"Mujhe kuch na kuch karna hi hoga yeh shaadi rokne ke liye. Me us ladki ko apne bete ki jindagi me nahi aane dunga."

P-"Kaha kho gaye aap Shakti ji? Chaliye na."

Sh-"Ha.....ha ha chalo."

In Annika's room,
A-"Pata nahi uncle aur maa ne kya kaha hoga? Wo maanenge bhi ya nahi?

P-"Kya hum andar aa sakte hai beta?"

A-"Ma.....Maa.....aap?? Aa.....aayiye na."

      She welcomed them and looked at Shivaay. He kept his face serious,this scared Annika.

P-"Annika,mujhe tumse baat karni hai."

A-"Ji maa"

P-"Abse jo me kahungi wahi tum karogi,meri har baat maanogi. Kabhi mujhe ulta jawaab nahi dogi tum. Har woh kaam jo me kahungi wo karogi,samjhi?"

A-"Ji??? Matlab?"

P-"Are ab saas hu na me teri,toh saas ki har baat maanana bahu ka farz hota hai,hai na?"

A-"Ji. Wo sab me..... Ek minute..... Iska matlab.....ki....."

      Pinky smiled at her and hugs her tightly.
P-"Ha beta. Aajse tum meri bahu ho. Shivaay ne jindagi me ek hi kaam accha kiya hai ,tumhe propose karne ka."

S-"Mom....."

      Annika smiled and angrily looked at Shivaay. He winked at her and smiled. Annika came to Shakti and Pinky and took blessings from them.

Sh-"Khush raho,khush raho. Aur ha aajse mujhe uncle nahi Papa bulana Shivaay ki tarah."

A-"Ji. Thank you Papa."

Sh-"Hmmm. Accha mujhe tumse kuch baat karni hai. Kuch puchna tha."

A-"Puchiye na?"

Sh-"Tumhare pati ka naam kya tha?"

      Annika's expressions changed from smiling to worried. She don't know how to answer. She looked here and there.

P-"Beta dukhi mat ho. Shakti ji toh aise hi information ke liye puch rahe hai,batao."

A-"Ji.....ji....woh....."

      She looks here and there and saw one novel in the book stand,'peshwa Bajirao'. She looked at the name and said,

A-"Unka na.....naam Bajirao tha."

Sh-"Bajirao? Ok,aur surname?"

      Annika again don't know how to answer. She again looks here and there and saw a bird nest behind the window,she said,

A-"Ghosla"

Sh-"Kya?????"

A-"I.....I mean khosla ."

Sh-"Oh. Kya kaam karte the woh?"

A-"Woh.....woh..... Ha woh Indian army me the captain, Captain Bajirao Khosla ."

Sh-"Ok. Par unki maut kaise ho gayi?"

A-"Woh..... Woh ek war me maare gaye. Soda water ki bottle lagi thi unko."

Sh-"What??"

A-"Ha,aur usi me unki maut ho gayi ek war tha tab."

Sh-"Ok. Unki photo hogi na tumhare paas? Jara dikha dena hume bhi."

A-"Ph..... Photo???"

P-"Ha beta,photo. Photo toh hogi na?"

A-"Ji..... Ji hai na. Par iss waqt nahi hai. Mera saaman orphanage me hai na,wahi hai photo bhi."

Sh-"Ok. Kal le aana."

A-"Ji???"

Sh-"Ha. Hume bhi toh pata hona chahiye na tumhare baare me sab."

A-"Ji... Ji kal laaungi."

Sh-"Ok. Ab aaraam kro. Kaafi raat ho chuki hai. Chalo hum yaha se chalte hai ab."

      Pinky and Shakti went from there.
Sh(mind)-"I am 100 percent sure yeh ladki jhooth bol rahi hai. Dekhte hai kal kya karti hai yeh ab."

      On the other side, in Annika's room, Shivaay hugs her.

S-"I know Annika, tumhe bura laga phirse past ke baare me yaad karke. I am sorry. Par me kya karta,dad ke saamne?"

A-"It's ok Shivaay. Unka bhi toh haqq hai na sab jaanane ka. Actually mujhe aapko kuch batana hai."

S-"Abhi raat bahut ho chuki hai. Tumhe aaram karna chahiye. Subah baat karte hai."

A-"Par Shivaay important baat hai."

S-"Tumhare health se jyada important kuch bhi nahi. Chalo so jao. Kal pakka baat karenge."

A-"Ok. Good night."

S-"Good night"

      Shivaay left from there. Annika laid on the bed. But sleep is far away from her eyes. She is very afraid to loose Shivaay. All night she keep thinking about how to bring a photo.

Next day,
      Shivaay came to Annika.
S-"Good morning love."

A-"Good morning. Kya hua kuch kaam tha?"

S-"Are woh tumhe orphanage jaana hai na? Chalo me chod deta hu office jaane se pehle."

A-"Nahi nahi. Me khud chali jaaungi."

S-"Are par....."

A-"Aap jao office me chali jaungi. Aaj waise bhi me nahi aane wali na office."

S-"Ok"
      Shivaay left from there.

A-"Sorry Shivaay. Par me kya karu? Kaise bhi karke mujhe woh photo laani hai. Par kaha se lau? Kuch soch Annika. Ha Ratan chacha ko puchti hu iss baat ka solution toh wo hi de sakte hai."

At Ratan's boutique,

Ratan-"Are Annika, tum yaha? Kya hua?"

Annika narrated whole story.

A-"Ab aap hi batayiye chacha,kya karu me? Kaha se lau photo?"

Ramu-"Ek idea hai mere paas."

A-"Toh jaldi batao na Ramu dada."

Ramu-"Sahab woh jo ladke hamare yaha se rent or clothes le jaate hai na unki drama company ke liye,unke photos hai na humare paas,usme se ek de dijiye."

Ratan-"Par agar kuch gadbad ho gayi toh?"

Ramu-"Are kuch nahi hoga. Waise bhi woh toh mar gaya hai na unki nazar me,toh koi puraani photo de dete hai. Kuch nahi hoga."

A-" Ha chalega. Dekhayiye na photo."

      Ratan brought one box. There are many photos of boys. Annika rejected many photos. Then her gaze turn towards one photo.

A- "Yeh kaisa hai"

Ramu- "Ha accha hai."

Ratan- "Ha yahi le jao. Purani hai ye kaafi."

A- "Ok. Thank you.bye."

R & R- "Bye. Take care."

At Oberoi house,

      All came to the hall.

Sh- "Annika layi kya tum photo?"

A- "Ji"

Sh- "Dikhao"

A- "Ye lijiye."

      Annika gave photo to shakti. Shakti sees the photo.

Sh (in mind)- "Aisa lag raha hai isse kahi dekha hai. Par kaha? Mujhe yaad karna hi hoga ki ise kaha dekha hai maine."

S- "Dad"

Sh- "Ha... Haa"

S- "Dikhao photo"

      Shakti gave photo to Shivaay. Shivaay & Pinky sees the photo.

The photo :-

      Annika stood there looking at their faces. Shivaay and Pinky smiled. She takes a deep breath.

P-"Ab toh dekh liya na photo aapne Shakti ji? "

Sh-"Hmmm"

P-"Toh ab to permission do."

Sh-"Ha?..... Ha ha kyu nahi. Jald se jald shaadi ke liye muhurat dhundho."

S-"Thank you,thank you so much."

Sh-"Par ab Amit ko na bolna padega."

S-"Amit uncle ko na,matlab?"

Sh-"Maine tumhare aur Gauri ke shaadi ke liye usse baat ki thi,par ab toh....."

S-"Hahaha. Dad me aur Gauri,kuch bhi ha. Hum sirf acche dost hai. Aur Gauri bhi kisi aur se pyaar karti hai."

P-"Kya? Chal yeh toh acchi baat hai phir,hai na?"

Sh-"Ha. Ok, chalo ab sab shaadi ki tayyari kar lo."

      Shakti and Pinky left from there. Shivaay came to Annika and pulled her towards him by her waist.

S-"Congratulations would be Mrs.Annika Shivaay Singh Oberoi ."

      Annika blushed at his sentence. She looked at his eyes. Both have an eyelock.

A-"Thank you Shivaay"

S-"Thank you kis liye?"

A-"Meri jindagi me aane ke liye."

S-"Toh phir thank you toh mujhe bhi bolna chahiye. Par tumne toh kaha tha na ki dosti me no sorry no thank you."

A-"Ha wo to dosti me,abhi toh hum cou....."

      She stopped and bite her tounge. Shivaay laughed at her.

S-"Kya? Ab hum kya? Aage bhi toh bolo."

A-"Kuch nahi."

      Shivaay smiled and kissed her forehead and hugs her.

S-"I am very happy today."

A-"Me too."

S-"Ek baat batao?"

A-"Kya?"

S-"Ab toh me hi aata hu na tumhare sapne me? Ya abhi bhi tumhara pati"

A-"Ummmm...... Jayiye nahi batati me aapko"
      She said and ran from there. He smiled at her and went to his room.

Next day,
Shakti came to Amit's office to meet him.

At Amit's cabin,

Sh-"Toh yeh sab aisa hai Amit. I am sorry."

A-"Are isme sorry ki koi baat nahi. Baccho ki khushi important hai."

Om comes there. Shakti saw him and he remembered the photo which Annika gave to him. He thinks for a while.

Om-"Sir ye files"

A-"Keep there and go. I'll sign and then call you."

Shakti plans something. Om goes from there.

Sh-"Ab me chalta hu."

A-"Ok bye. Shaadi me bulana."

Sh-"Ha jarur. Bye."

      Shakti came out of Amit's cabin and started searching for Om. He saw Om at his table. He goes towards him.

Sh-"Excuse me"

O-"Ji sir"

Sh-"Mera ek kaam hai tumse"

O-"Ha boliye na phir sir."

Sh-"Yaha nahi chalo mere saath."

      He drag Om to the canteen.

O-"Ji sir,boliye kya kaam hai?"

Sh-"Ek kaam hai"

O-"Boliye"

Sh-"(muted conversation)"

Om stood up from the chair.

O-"WHAT????? Me...me yeh nahi.....bilkul nahi."

Sh-"Please"

O-"N.....No no."

Sh-"I'll give you 1 crore."

O-"WHAT???"
      He shouted. Shakti indicate him to stop shouting and made him sit on the chair.

Sh-"Me tumhe 1 crore dunga. Upar se 1 flat bhi well-furnished. I know tumhe rehne ke liye jagah nahi hai."

O-"Par agar meri gf ko pata chal gaya na toh woh to mujhe maar hi daalegi."

Sh-"Sh..... Use kuch nahi bataoge tum nahi use baat kroge yeh kaam hone tak. Aur ha kal se office bhi mat aana."

O-"Par meri job??"

Sh-"Sh..... Agar chali gayi toh me dilwa dunga phir se. Jaante ho na ke me aur Amit best friends hai. Toh ab soch lo 1 crore aur ghar bhi. So are you ready?"

O-"Par meri gf? Me usse sirf ek baar baat karta hu na please."

Sh-"Nahi bilkul nahi. Use pata chalega toh gadbad ho jaayegi."

O-"Matlab? Uska isse kya connection?"

Sh-"Woh me tumhe baad me batata hu. Ab bolo jaldi,manjoor hai yeh deal??"

O-"O.....Ok,done. I am ready."

Sh-"Good. Toh kal se plan start."

      Shakti patted on his shoulder and smiled thinking about his plan.
