"Aaaaaaaccccccchhhhhhhhhhhuuuuuuuuuuu"

What would happen to you after soaking yourself from head to toe, in rain and on top of that you drench yourself on a chilly evening of Jaipur, having a temperature of 15℃.

You get cold!

And that's what happened to our Mrs. Maheshwari.

The moment she sat inside the car, and Sameer clicked the ignition, she sneezed. Thinking it to be a genuine one, Sameer ignored but by the time they reached the Haveli, Naina sneezed 5-6 times. And now she was sitting on the bed, wrapped up in two thick blanket, and was holding a tissue paper in her hand.

Sameer entered into the room with a steel glass in his hand, which he held with the help of a hand towel.

Sameer: Naina, chalo phataphat yeh pee lo.

Naina kept the tissue paper on the side table and tried looking into it. But couldn't understand what it is, as it is a dark colored liquid.

So, she took a sip and the next moment she scrunched her nose and closed her eyes in disgust. Forcefully she gulped the sip and coughed badly.

Naina: Yeh kya tha Sameer Ji? Itna kadwa! Yuck! Mujhe bilkul pasand nahi aaya 🤢🤢.

Sameer placed the glass near her lips, and said: Isse hindi mein kadha kehte hai. Aur yeh jo tum chinkh rahi ho na, aur halka bukhar jo chadhne laga hai. Usse thik kar dega.

Naina pouted her lips and looked at him with puppy eyes and said: Par mujhe iska taste pasand nahi aa raha hai Sameer ji. Main isse nahi pee sakti. Aap please kuch aur de dijiye par kadha nahi....

Sameer: Naina, tumhari yeh cute face wali trick nahi chalne wali. Aur barish mein bhigke jo tabiyat kharab ki, uska hi natija hai yeh. Ab acchi bacchi ki tarah isse pee lo.

Naina: Nahi na Sameer ji. Main acchi bacchi hun, par yeh kadha nahi pee sakti.

Sameer: Naina maine iss kadha mein mishri milaya hai. Aur woh bhi itna saara. Dekho tabiyat kharab hone par dawai khate hai, zidd nahi karte.

Naina: Par....

Sameer: Par war kuch nahi. Apne naak ko pakdo aur ek ghunt mein pura khatam kar do. Main waada karta hun ki main tumhe chocolate dunga woh bhi bada wala.

Naina sulked and said: Mujhe chocolate nahi chahiye!

And looked other side with pouted lips and grumpy face.

Sameer: Hmmm.....

Sameer kept the glass on the side table and sat infront of her on the bed. He looked at her lovingly, and held her hand softly in his.

Sameer: Toh phir kya chahiye kya meri jaan ko?

Naina's eyes shot up, and she looked at Sameer. Seeing him smiling sheepishly, Naina's cheeks turned pink and see again turned away her gaze and looked here and there shyly. Sameer chuckled. He curled his finger under her chin, and lifted her face.

Sameer: Kya galat kaha maine? Jaan hi toh ho tum meri. Tumhe bina dekhe, dil ki dhadkan ruk jaati hai, tumhare muh se Sameer ji sune bina, din nahi katta mera. Kaise yeh 2 saal kaate hai, mujhe hi pata hai.
Ab tak ruka tha kyunki sure nahi tha ki tum mere paas aane se kya react karogi. Tumhe mujhse pyaar hoga ki nahi. Kahin mujhe chodke chali toh nahi jaogi. Lekin ab jab jaan gaya hun ki tum mujhse dur nahi jaogi, mujhe ek pati ke nazar se dekhne lagi ho, mujhe pasand karne lagi ho, mere bina tum bhi nahi reh sakti, toh kaise rokun khudko? Hmm?

Sameer's intense gaze and hoarse voice sent shivers in her body. This was the first time a man was so close to her, his eyes were dark with desire and his voice held love and desire for her. She felt unfamiliar sensations inside her system, her stomach was forming knots and her heart fluttered, feeling his soft touch on her face. And her cheeks reddened instantly when his lips meet her sweaty forehead.

Sameer's adoration and Naina's shyness came to a pause, when they heard a knock on the door. Sameer groaned and went to open the door, to find Pranati standing in front of him with a tray in her hand.

Pranati: Woh....main soup laayi thi, tum dono ke liye. Naina ko bukhar chad gaya tha, aur mausam bhi kharab jo raha hai. Toh.....kahin tu bhi bimaar pad na jaaye isliye.

Sameer: Maine Naina ke liye kadha bana liya tha. Aur woh....

Naina: Thanda hogaya hai! Bhabhi, aap apna soup mujhe de dijiye. Inke kadha se better hai aapka soup.

Sameer widened his eyes and looked at Naina, who cutely scrunched her nose looking at the steel glass containing kadha.

Pranati smiled and stepped in, and kept the tray infront of Naina. Naina happily picked the tray, and blowing on spoon, she started to drink the soup.

Pranati: Sameer, main jaanti hun aaj meri laparwahi bahut mehengi pad sakti thi, hum sab par. Main bahut sharminda hun. Please ho sake toh mujhe maaf kar dena.

Sameer: Pranati, main hairan hun. Tujhse aissi laparwahi ki ummid nahi ki thi maine. Naina sirf meri biwi nahi hai, teri bhi kuch lagti hai. In fact mujhse pehle uska rishta tere se juda tha. Tu aisse kaise? Chal chod!

Anjali: Nahi Sameer! Maat chodo iss baat ko! Hum teeno se galti huyi hai. Infact gunah hua hai. Aaj agar Naina ko kuch ho jaata toh hum tumhe muh nahi dikha paate.

Swati and Anjali entered the room, and sat infront of Naina.

Swati: Naina, hum mein se koi nahi samjh sakta tumhare pe kya beeti hogi unn 5 ghanto mein. Tum kis darr ka samna ki hogi, yeh hum sab imagine bhi nahi karna chahte. Ho sake toh tum bhi hume maaf kar do.

Naina: Bhabhi...galti insaan se hi hoti hai. Haan, aaj jo hua woh bahut badi galti thi. Par main aap sabke paas wapas aa gayi na. Bas, wohi bahut hai mere liye. Aur rahi baat maafi ki, toh maine aapko maaf kabka kar diya. In fact, main aap sab se naraz thi hi nahi.

Anjali: Tum itni acchi kyun ho Naina?

Naina: Ismein accha hone wali kya baat hai Bhabhi? Sach hi toh kaha maine.

Sameer: Naina ki tabiyat thik nahi hai. Usse aaram ki zaroorat hai. So, please aap teeno bahar jayiye. I guess jo baat karni thi aap teeno ko, woh ho chuki hai.

Naina: Sameer ji.....

Sameer looked at Naina with stern expression which made her quiet and she pouted her lips in annoyance. Though Sameer didn't want Naina to be annoyed but right now, he didn't want the topic to be stretched.

Understanding Sameer's stand, Pranati, Swati and Anjali left Samaina's room. Sameer locked the door and sat next to Naina.

Sameer: Lo, dawai kha lo. Aur leet jao.

Naina quietly took the tablet and gulped it with a glass of water. Sameer switched off the lights and kept the bed lamp next to his side, switched on. He weaved his fingers through her hair and massaged her scalp to help her sleep, and Naina was looking at his deep dark orbs. And slowly she felt her eyelids drooping and darkness spread infront of her eyes.

Seeing Naina in slumber, Sameer kissed her forehead. And was still weaving his fingers through her hair.

Sameer: Mujhe pata hai Naina, tumhe meri harkat bachon jaisi lag rahi hogi. Yeh baat itni badi nahi hai, jitna main bana raha hoon. Par mere liye yeh bahut badi baat hai Naina. Aaj mujhse sirf meri biwi nahi chinh sakti thi, mera sab kuch chinh sakta tha. Jaisa 18 saal pehle hua tha. Tab main 10 saal ka Sameer tha, kisi ko khone ka dard mehsoos hote huye bhi samjh nahi pata tha. Par ab jab umra ke saath samjh badh gayi hai, toh uske saath darr bhi badh gaya hai. Apno ko khone ka dard. Naina, mere paas apno ke naam par gin chune log hi hai. Aur main yeh ginti kam nahi hone dena chahta. Janti ho, mujhe tumse itna pyaar kyun hai, kyunki tum mein mujhe meri Maa dikhayi deti hai. Tum bilkul unki tarah ho. Tumhara ehsaas bilkul unki tarah hai. Jis pyaar, kadar aur ehsaas ko main 18 saal se dhundh raha tha, usse mil jaane ke baad wapas kho nahi dena chahta.
Aaj ek galti mujhse mera sab kuch wapas chinh leta humesha humesha ke liye. Aur iss baar, main bikharne ke baad wapas judd nahi pata Naina. Nahi judd pata.

Tear rolled down his cheeks, and luckily fell on the thick blanket wrapped around Naina. He quickly wiped it and after placing another long kiss on her forehead, Sameer went to washroom to wash his face.

After freshening up, Sameer sat next to Naina with his back against the headboard, and his palms on Naina's head. He was looking at Naina lovingly and time to time, was checking Naina's temperature through her forehead.

Meanwhile in Swati and Munna's room. Munna was sitting near the window, and Swati just entered from washroom.

Swati: Munna, tum abhi tak wahin khade ho.

Munna: Hmmm

Swati: Accha aao, so jao. Aaj ka din bahut hectic tha.

Munna: Hmmm

Swati: Kya hmmm, aao!

Munna: Hmmm

Swati got annoyed seeing Munna's monotonous reply, she marched towards him and noticed he was in deep thoughts and was absent minded.
She kept her hand on his shoulder, which pulled him out of his reveries.

Swati: Kya hogaya Munna?

Munna: Kuch khas nahi, bas aaj jo kuch hua ussi ke baare mein soch raha hun. Tum bhabhi ko milne gayi thi na. Kya kaha unhone?

Swati: Baarish mein bheegne ke wajah bukhar chadh gaya hai Naina ko. Sameer ne kadha banaya tha par jab tak woh Naina ko samjha ke pilane ja raha tha, kadha thanda hogaya tha. Phir Pranati ka banaya soup pilke aaram kar rahi hai.

Munna: Oh...Kal subah tak thodi behtar ho jayegi unki tabiyat hopefully.

Swati: Woh toh ho hi jayega, Pranati ke haath ka soup Babaji ki booti se kaam nahi hai.

Munna: Pranati ka soup Naina bhabhi ka bukhar toh utaar dega. Par Sameer ke mann mein jo tees paida hogayi hai aaj ke incident ke baad, uska kya kare...

Swati: Munna....ek baat bolun. Maana ki humse galti huyi aur Naina ghum gayi. Par itni bhi badi baat nahi huyi hai jo ab tak woh muh bana ke baitha hai. Naina mil gayi aur upar se usse kuch hua bhi nahi tha.

Munna was shocked hearing to Swati. He immediately turned towards her and replied.

Munna: Swati! Mere saamne aissi baat kar li. Kisi aur ke saamne maat karna. Khudko ek baar Sameer ki jagah par rakhke dekho. Humari zindagi mein ek perfect family naseeb hogayi. Par uss bechare se uski perfect family usse chinh gayi hai. Badi muskil se usse Bhabhi mili hai. Uski perfect family ka sapna bura hone aaya hai. Agar aaj Naina bhabhi nahi milti, toh wapas Sameer unhi andhere mein chala jaata. Aur iss baar shayad usse uss mayusi se nikalna muskil hota.
Tumne ya Anjali ne nahi dekha hai uss Sameer ko jo baaki bacchon ki family tree ko sundar bana dekh, gussa ho jaata tha, tum dono ne uss Sameer ko nahi dekha jisne college mein ek ladke ko sirf isliye peeta kyunki usne galti se Dadaji ko dhakka mar diya tha. Sameer ke paas ke rishte bahut kam hai, infact ungliyon mein gin le, utne hai. Aisse mein agar ek rishta bhi kam ho jayega, toh woh toot jayega Swati.

Bhale aaj jo hua, woh bahut badi baat nahi hai tumhare aur mere liye, par uske liye bahut badi baat hai.

With that being said, Munna went to the bed and lied down. Sameer's past behaviour and today's state flashed infront of his eyes. Today the way Sameer was acting, gave a short flashback to Munna and reminded him how impulsive Sameer was few years ago.

A similar scene was played in Pandit and Anjali's room where Pandit got upset seeing Anjali's nonchalant response. And he too lied down on the bed and thought of ways to mend Sameer's mood.

Whereas the day in Maheshwari Mansion was very much eventful for Maheswari family and Agrawal family, but was laborious for Vishakha, Kamlesh and Prabha. Let's see what had happened there.

Jaya: Vishakha bahu!

Vishakha and Prabha had just sat in Prabha's room to take a breather after frying 2-3 batches of fritters when Buaji hollered them out.

Vishakha: Oh god! Phirse budhiya bulane lagi.
Bhabhi, tum jaake dekh aao na please, mere pair dard karne lage hai. Aissa lag raha hai ki fracture hogaya hai.

Prabha: Nahi, main nahi jaane wali. Budhiya tumhe bula rahi hai. Tum jao.

Vishakha: Khud jaogi, ya main dhakka maarke nikalun?

Prabha sighed and got up from the couch, and walked out. Buaji was sitting on the dinning table with Bela and Beena, and was giggling on something.

Prabha: Dekho toh budhiya aur inn dono middle class devrani jethani ko, kaise khi khi kar rahe hai. Mann toh kar raha hai, teeno ke dant tod dun.

Buaji: Udhar khade hoke sunane se behtar hai paas aake suna de jo sunana hai.

Prabha widened her eyes, and got nervous seeing Buaji read her thoughts accurately.

Prabha: Yeh aap kya keh rahi hai Buaji! Main kyun sunaungi aapko? Aapko sunane se pehle meri jubaan na jal jaaye!

Buaji: Accha! Woh hi main sochun, teri zubaan din ba din kadwi aur jhoothi kyun hoti ja rahi hai.

Prabha: Matlab Buaji? Main samjhi nahi.

Buaji hit her forehead lightly and shook her head in disbelief.

Buaji: Tu kaise janegi? Tune rasoi mein sirf diet khana banaya hai. Humara deshi tel masale wala khana kabhi banaya nahi hai. Toh kaise samjhegi.
Chal main hi samjha deti hun. Jab khana jal jaata hai na, tab swaad kadwa aane lagta hai. Abhi tune kaha na, mujhe sunane se pehle teri jubaan jal jaaye, toh tu itna sunati aayi hai mujhe ki teri kadwi ho gayi hai.

This statement made Beena and Bela hide their smiles, and Prabha's eyes widen. She didn't expect such mockery infront of Agrawal ladies.

Buaji: Chal chod iss baat ko. Maine Vishakha bahu ko bulaya tha, Chammak challo, tu kyun aagayi. Na tera naam Vishakha hai aur na hi tu iss ghar ki bahu hai. Ja apni nanand ko bula la.

Prabha: Buaji, woh Vish aaram kar rahi hai. Mujhe batayiye kya baat hai? Kya chahiye aapko?

Buaji: Tu na Vishakha hai aur na hi iss ghar ki bahu! Toh main tujhe kuch batane wali hun nahi. Aur ghar mein rishtedaar aaye hai, aur woh room mein aaram kar rahi hai! Aissa koun sa kaam kar liya usne jo kamre mein maharani aaram farma rahi hai!

Jaake Vishakha ko bula la!

Prabha: Buaji, woh nahi aane wali....aap mujhe bol dijiye!

Buaji stood up from the chair, and without uttering another word marched towards Prabha's room.

Buaji: Kyun re Vishakha bahu!? Tune pathar tode hai kya? Jo yahan AC mein baithke aaram kar rahi hai!

Vishakha: Nahi Buaji, aissi koi baat nahi hai. Woh....Aisse kabhi pakode woh bhi itna saara banaya nahi hai. Isliye, thodi der ke liye aaram karne aa gayi.

Buaji: Hmmm....baat toh sahi bhai. Itne saare pakode the.

Vishakha smiled seeing Buaji agreeing to her for the first time in 18 years. She mentally raised her imaginary collar, and gave Buaji a flashing smile.

Buaji: Main bhi na....bhul gayi ki teri umar ho aa rahi hai. Haddiyan kamzor hoti ja rahi hai. Upar se jo ghas puss khati hai tu, usse haddiyan majboot thodi hoti hogi. Koi baat nahi, main tujhe desi ghee ka khana khilake, pura fit and fine kar dungi.

Vishakha: Buaji aap yeh kya keh rahi hai. Meri haddiyan bilkul thik hai.

Buaji: Toh phir thode si pakode talke tu thak kaise gayi! Apni umar dekh aur meri umar dekh! Subah hi Shirdi darshan se aayi hun, aur lagi hun kaam pe. Main toh nahi thaki. Tu subah kamre se nikalke , rasoi jaake thode se pakode talke, wapas kamre mein aagayi aaram karne. Budhapa jaldi aa raha hai tujhe Vishakha!

Vishakha didn't want Buaji to humiliate her anymore as the Agrawals might not be there in this room, but Buaji was speaking in such a loud voice that it might be audible to them and plus the ladies were sitting just outside of the room.

Vishakha: Boliye Buaji, kya kaam tha mujhse?

Buaji: Ghadi dekh rahi hai! 11 bajne ko aaye hai. Lunch nahi banana?

Vishakha: Ramdhari bana raha hoga....

Buaji: Ramdhari Radha ko leke hospital gaya hai. Uska X-ray aur bahut saare tests karane. Aur tu yeh kya keh rahi hai. Bahu ke hote hote, rishtedaar kisi aur ke haath ka khana kyun khaye bhala? Maana Ramdhari ghar ka hissa hai, par hai toh bahar wala hi na. Chal kaam pe lag ja phataphat.

Vishakha: Buaji abhi aapne kaha na bahu ke hote huye koi aur khana kyun banaye. Toh Poonam hai na. Usse bol deti hun khana banane.

Vishakha was about to pass Buaji, when Buaji held her hand, and pushed her back.

Buaji: Poonam iss ghar ki beti hai. Bahu nahi! Aur tune suna nahi tha kya? Bhaiya ne subah jo kaha tha! Doctor ne Poonam ko 1 hafta aaram karne kaha hai. Toh Poonam na khana banayegi aur na hi koi aur ya kisi aur ka koi bhi kaam karegi. Yeh baat apni moti khopdi mein daal de!

With that being said, Buaji left Vishakha's room, she saw Prabha eavesdropping them. She held her ear and gave her a stern look.

Buaji: Mujhe tere aur teri nanand ke haath ka shudh bharatiya khana dining table par agle dhae ghante mein chahiye! Aur jo mujhe khana nahi dikha, toh mujhse bura koi nahi hoga!

Prabha gulped the lump formed in her throat, and after Buaji left. She sprinted inside the room.

Prabha: Vish, time kam hai. Aur hume khana bahut logon ke liye banana hai. Chalo. Kaam pe lag jaate hai.

Vishakha: Main koi khana wana nahi banane wali. Bhookhe rahe sab, I don't care! Tumhe banana hai toh banao. Waise bhi 18 saal pehle tum yeh sab toh banati thi. Experience hai tumhe.

Prabha: Haan haan, kyun nahi! Aur koi hukum rani sahiba! Dekho Vish, acchai ismein hai ki tum aur main milke khana banaye. Kyunki agar budhiya wapas aayi, aur tumhe aaram karta dekhi toh iss baar pure Agrawal family ke saamne humiliate karegi.

Aur agar bacchi kuchi izzat pyaari hai toh chalo kitchen mein.

Prabha left with waiting for Vishakha, whereas Vishakha continued sitting there thinking over the things Prabha just said and went.

Vishakha: Baat toh sahi hai iski.... Agrawal family ke saamne accha reputation maintain karna padega. Naina apni family ki baat manti hai. If also, Sameer ya kisi Maheshwari ne Naina ko kuch bataya hum teeno ke baare mein, toh woh apne family se pehle baat karegi. And wahan I am sure conflict honge statements mein......And mujhe thodi mehnat Maheshwaris ke upar humare reputation ko sudharne mein karna hoga.

Vishakha fixed her look infront of the mirror, and went to the kitchen where she found Prabha washing the rice grains and dal. She also noticed that Prabha had taken out mushrooms, cabbage, tomatoes and potatoes, and had kept them on the kitchen counter.

Vishakha: Arre waah! Tumne itni jaldi itna saara kaam kar liya! Accha hai. Chalo phatak se khana bana lo. Main salad kaat deti hun. Aur jug bhar deti hun.

Vishakha had just finished the salad, when Buaji called Prabha. Prabha had just put the rice cooker on the stove and was about to cut the cabbage for the cabbage potato curry.

Prabha: Ji Buaji, apne bulaya.

Buaji: Haan, woh kya hai na. Sar aur paon mein dard ho raha hai. Jab tak Vivek sabko garden aur chatt dikhake aa jaata hai, tu zara daba de.

Prabha: Buaji, khana.....

Buaji: Vishakha bahu bana legi. Waise bhi, mehmaan ko bahu khana banake deti hai. Bahu ki bhabhi nahi...

Prabha: Accha, main batake aa jaati hun Buaji phir...

Buaji: Koi jaroorat nahi hai! Tu mere saath mere kamre mein chal. Vishakha bahu khud samjh jayegi.

Not finding any other option, Prabha silently followed Buaji to her room. Whereas Vishakha after finishing the salad and filling of jugs, stood near the stove and was wondering where Prabha was, when the rice boiled and starchy water overflowed and splattered around the stove. Vishakha didn't know what to do and mistakenly instead of turning off the stove, she increased the flame. And the rest of the starchy water too overflowed.

Vishakha: Pata nahi yeh Prabha kaha reh gayi. Ek toh pata nahi mujhe ab kya karna hai upar se yeh gayan hogayi. Ek kaam karti hun, iss patile ko uthake side mein rakh deti hun aur gas bandh kar deti hun.

Inattentively, Vishakha picked by the vessel directly which resulted in her, dropping the vessel and the cooked rice spreading all over the floor. She didn't pay attention to the wastage of grains but to her fingers which had not got burnt at all.

In rage, Vishakha walked out of the kitchen and started hollering Prabha's name, and when she saw Prabha walking out of Buaji's room she marched towards her.

Vishakha: Tum khana banane wali thi na....Kahan gayab hogayi thi!!

Buaji came out of her room hearing Vishakha's voice, and made an irritated face seeing Vishakha's annoyed face.

Buaji: Kya hogaya? Kyun chilla rahi hai?

Vishakha: Buaji, aapne mujhe aur Prabha bhabhi dono ko khana banane ko kaha tha. Aur yeh, beech mein mujhe chodke chali gayi.

Buaji; Itni si baat hai! Prabha ko maine hi aane ko kaha tha. Main usse meri maalish karne ke liye rok liya tha. Aur waise bhi, mehamano ko ghar ki bahu khana banake khilati hai. Prabha iss ghar ki bahu thodi hai. Woh bhi ek tarah ki mehmaan hi hai iss ghar ki.
Woh baat alag hai, 18 saal hogaye woh apne ghar wapas gayi nahi. Yahin reh gayi hai. Par phir bhi, hai toh mehmaan hi na. Toh koi aur tamasha bina kiye, jaake khana bana. Tere paas 2 ghante se bas dedh ghanta baaki hai. Thik 1:30 baje mujhe table saja hua chahiye. Jo nahi hua, toh main Vaishali se kiya waada bhul jaungi.

Vishakha: Par Buaji, mujhe Indian khana bana nahi aata thik se. Mujhe bhabhi ki help chahiye hogi.

Buaji: Waqt aagaya hai Vishakha, akele kaam karne ka! Prabha ke sahare maat reh. Ja jaldi. Nahi toh dedh ghante se sirf 1 ghanta reh jayega.

Vishakha (in her mind): Baat toh sahi kahi iss budhiya ne. Waqt aagaya hai akele kaam karne ka. Inn do namuno ko saath leke chalti hun isliye 18 saal se mera kaam nahi ho paya.

Before Buaji could say anything else, Vishakha went to the kitchen. Taking a deep breath, she rolled her perfectly set hair into a bun, and searched for an apron so that her expensive saree doesn't get stained while cooking.

On the other hand, a huffing and puffing Kamlesh walked into the Maheshwari Mansion with 5-10 bags, and his forehead was wet with sweat. He dumped the bags and himself on the sofa.

Kamlesh(To himself): Yeh kya din dikha diya bhagwan! Naukaron ki tarah bhag daud karni pad rahi hai mujhe. Yeh Vivek ki Bua ki toh main!

Kamlesh: Poonam! Poonam!

Hearing Kamlesh's voice, Poonam walked in slowly, and was worried seeing Kamlesh's red and sweaty face.

Poonam: Ji...ji Papaji.

Kamlesh: Dikh raha hai ki main bahar garmi se thak ke aaya hun, toh puch kya rahi hai? Jaake paani la ek glass. Aur haan, saath mein kuch khane ko le aana.

Poonam: Ji Papaji

Poonam slowly walked towards the dinner table where the water jug was kept. Seeing her slow pace, Kamlesh got irritated.

Kamlesh: Yeh kya kachhue ki tarah chal rahi hai! Thoda jaldi kaam kar. Paon mein mehendi lagi hai kya?

Buaji: Kamlesh!

Buaji was angry seeing Kamlesh lashing at Poonam. She immediately made Poonam sit on the chair and shot daggers at Kamlesh.

Buaji: Umar ke saath dekhne ki shakti kamzor hogayi hai kya? Dikhai nahi de raha kya ki Poonam kamzor hai aur uski tabiyat kharab hai!
Tu ki muh se usse kaam karne bol raha hai! Tujhe uski sewa karni chahiye ulta tu usse sewa le raha hai!

Kamlesh: Kuch tabiyat kharab nahi hai iski Buaji! Bahana bana rahi hai yeh.

Buaji: Accha! Thik hai yeh bahana bana rahi hai. Toh phir woh kya hai jo teri biwi aur behen bana rahi hai subah se khana na banane ke liye. Aur jo tu banake gaya tha bazaar?

(Mimicking like Kamlesh) Buaji, mujhe kahan market ka bhao pata hai. Mujhe kapde kharidna nahi aata.

(Mimicking like Prabha) Buaji, hotel se khana manga lete hai, mehmaano ko kya pata chalega ki hotel ka khana hai.

(Mimicking like Vishakha) Buaji, itne saare pakode tal diye hai ki aaram kar rahi hun.
Buaji, mujhe kahan Indian khana banana aata hai.

18 saal pehle kaise rehte aur khate the? Bahana isse kehte hai. Aur tu, teri biwi aur teri behen yeh cheez yaad rakhna ki Poonam ek hafte tak aur uss ek hafte ke baad, zaroorat se zyada kaam nahi karegi. Aur yeh baat pathar ka lakir samjh lo.

Kamlesh: Buaji......

Buaji: Chup! Zubaan ladhayi toh zubaan khinch lungi. 18 saal se zhel rahe hai iska matlab yeh nahi ki zindagi bhar zhelte rahe.

Aur paani chahiye tha na. Ruk!

Buaji picked up the glass filled by Poonam, and threw it in the washbasin, and kept the empty glass infront of him.

Buaji: Khud bhar aur pee!

Seeing Buaji's volcanic anger, the evil trio gulped and quietly completed the work. Within the next 1.5 hours, Vishakha had finished cooking Jeera rice, Dal, Cabbage Potato curry, Mushroom fry and salad. Prabha had given a nice and relaxing massage to Buaji and Kamlesh quickly wrapped the gifts he bought for the Agrwal family.

After making sure that everything is alright, Vishakha went and called everyone for lunch.

Buaji: Hmmm......accha hai ki time se khana bangaya. Chalo dekhte hai ki kya aur kaise banaya hai.

Buaji took the lids off, and disgusted seeing the dishes. And she was worried about getting embarrassed infront of the Agrawal family.

Buaji: Yeh..... Yeh kya banaya hai!? Sabzi mein tel daala hai ya tel mein sabzi. Aur yeh daal! Daal hai ya pila paani?

Khana banana aata nahi aur chali hai saas banne.

Jaiprakash: Ab jo hogaya Jaya, usse jaane de. Yeh soch ki Bahu ke gharwalon ko kya khilayenge?

Poonam: Dadaji! Maine woh.....

Poonam looked behind her, and Ramdhari walked in with a trolley having dishes under cloche.

Poonam: Dadaji Dadiji, maine Kakaji ko call karke bahar bhojnalaya se khana mangwa diya.

Buaji: Shukar hai! Ramdhari, Poonam! Itna bhaddha khana banane ke liye Prabha aur Vishakha ko aaj kuch khane nahi milega. Aur Kamlesh tu! Tu teri behen ke haath ka khana khayega na hi bhojnalaya ka!

The evil trio looked at each other in shock, and controlled their anger as they saw Vivek coming with Agrawal family.
