(A/n: First of all, really sorry for disappearing like this but kya kare we both were busy . Secondly, A long chapter ahead. So, happy reading. We expect a lot of input comments. Thirdly, a good news , we are coming back with our regular weekly update.  Have a great day guys and happy Holi in advance.)

Early morning, Ranchi:

Two men can be seen walking in the garden  looking at the dew that is slowly settling on the lush green grass.

Man1: Sonu, Tujhe kya lag raha hai, Brazil jeete ga ya Italy?

Man2(in deep thought):Hm....

Man1:Arey, hmm ka kya matlab hai Sonu. Kya soch rahe ho tum??

Man2(snapping out of his musings):Ha, kuch nahi Yuvi.

So, these two are Yuvi Paa and Sonu aka Suresh Raina.

Yuvi knowing that there is something which is actually gnawing his friend's thoughts remained silent, thinking alas kitna Kuch badal gaya.

Almost after an hour, their unproclaimed peaceful silence is disturbed by a huffing girl of nearly 9 years .

" Papa...Yuvi chachu , Mumma aur Maasi are calling you...woh chachus aaye hai" The small girl says slowly and ran away quickly.

Sighing a breath, both Raina and Yuvi left for the living room where they are greeted to the presence of ICT.

" So what can we do  for the famous ICT and what did we do  to owe this pleasure of your darshan" Sonu asked quickly composing himself and remarked sarcastically.

"Sonu Bhai--" Deepak is cut off by Yuvi who showed his hand and said "Bhai mat bolo tho behtar hoga Mr.Chahar and without wasting your or our time ,can you guys let us know the purpose of your visit??"

" Woh ....woh...."  Jassi is abt to say something but stopped saying not finding the exact  words.

" Woh Woh  kya hai Mr.Bumrah, please do elaborate." Sonu asked glaring at the ICT.

" Woh we are here because we wanted to visit Mahi bhai ka ghar." Yuzi said nervously.

"As u can see, neither your Mahi bhai is here  nor  your Mahi Bhai lives here anymore . All thanks to you guys . " Yuvi said angrily.

"We just wanted to feel bhai ka ehsaas-----" Shreyas said leaving the sentence in between.

"Well, toh fir dekh liya hoga aap logo ne. Apke bhai ka ehsaas isn't there , isn't here. Humne unka sab kuch remove kardiya yha se ISS Ghar se , ISS jagah se. So,I am asking you guys to respectfully leave from here nahi tho mujhe trespassing ka case lagana padega tum logon ke upar ." Sonu said with anger quite evident in his voice.

" Please guys--" Yuvi said folding hands in namaste showing them the door.

After they left albeit unwilling, Sonu and Yuvi climbed the stairs quickly and shut the doors of  a room crashing to the floor with their backs to the wall in a room full of memories...their best friend memories...their chota Bhai Ka memories..Their Mahi and Cheeku ka memories.

******************************

At the same time , there are two girls who are reminiscing what happened in Dharamsala after the wags meet.

"Ritsy bhabhi, Abhi aap ko hi Junn se baat karna padega jo idea wags meet mein aaya na uske baare mein." The first girl said .

" Kaunsa idea chudail Ru" said Arjun coming out of the shadows at once and trying to scare Ahankara .

"Gadha...aisa koi aata hai kya." Ahankara said frightened.

"Kyun tu dar gayi kya??" Arjun asked raising his eyebrows.

" Me aur dar.. kabhi nhi...no...never...you are forgetting who I'm MR. Duffer." Aru said.

Finally Ritsy had enough and she tries to resolve it by clearing her throat .

"Ab tum dono ka Bharat milap khatam hogaya ho tho hum kaam ke bare mein soche because you very well know Ro won't stay much longer ." Ritika said.

"Ha bhabhi , we know Sorry...sab iski galti hai ." Aru said making puppy eyes and putting all the blame on Arjun.

"Mera??bilkul bhi nahi, sab tera kaam h " Arjun retorted back .

"Ok kindergarten kids...coming to the point Junn,we have an idea but we need your help." Ritsy said.

"Ha bolo Ritu." Arjun asked becoming serious at once.

" So,ab yeh sab khatam hone ka ek hi rasta h...Mahi bhai...So it's time for MMBD." Ritika said .

"Bhabhi, what's MMBD??" Aru asked confused.

"Arey... Mission Mahi Bhai Dhundo." Ritika said.

"Ok, I'll get to it . But it will be only me looking for him. Trust me and you two are not gonna do anything  . Am I clear to you two" Arjun said after thinking a lot.
Getting an agreement from both,all the three disbanded that day.

****************************************
In a room facing the  window,Aru stood thinking for a very long time and finally said

Aru: Rahul....

Rah: Ha Aru...kya hua..

Aru:Tumhe yaad hai jab hum ek baar ghumne Gaye the toh uss time Nidhu ki nazar ek toy tiger ki Tarah gyi thi Jo usne Hume dikhaya tha  and Bhai ne pura Hamleys  ka animal collection aadha ghanta mein hotel me deliver karva Diya tha.

Rah:Hmmm

Aru: Aur tumhe ye yaad hai?? Jab Ro bhai ne Sammy ko chocolate dene se mana kiya tha, kisine bhi usko nahi diya tha and fir bhai ne khud chocolate cake banake Sammy ko Apne haath se  khilaya tha??

Rahul looked at Ahankara startled not knowing what is going on  in her mind because it's almost become an unspoken rule in the last 2 years that none of the two will initiate any conversation about Veer and Nush bhabs on their own. So,what changed today???

Rahul(testing the waters):Aru....kya hua...Aaj achanak do saal baad??

Ahankara not meeting his eyes said "kuch nahi ."

Rahul(holding her shoulders and looking into her eyes):Look at me....Wahi mujhe dekh ke bolo.

Ahankara(with tears in her eyes and sobbing:He never wanted this....He will not like this...He will be cursing himself...He will be broken seeing this happen.He...will...never...forgive...himself.

Rahul(rocking her back and forth): Sh...sh....relax sh.....

After a very long time which in reality is only 10 minutes, Rahul asks Aru:Ab bolo Ru..kya hua...achanak Veer bhai??

Ahankara proceeds telling the flashback to him and said:He always loved kids...And it's not only Nidhu, Gracy, Zivu and all but even you guys .You know right, you guys were also like kids to him. He used to eat my brain saying aaj Rishu baccha ne aisa kiya, Kul ne waisa kiya. It's worse that his kids are already divided par aaj it even extended to next generation Rah. His heart would have broken seeing this and he would have been cursing himself. How did things become like this Rah???(putting her head on his shoulder)...Jo hua wo hogaya atleast ab tho we have to get the team as one...Rah.

Seeing he was about to protest, she said the three words which even he know he can't say no to .

"Atleast for Bhai.

And for that we have to find Mahi bhai."

Rahul just nodded his head not knowing what to do.

***************************
Meanwhile,
Nearby Jodhpur,
In Chandragarh:

श्री वक्रतुण्ड महाकाय सूर्य कोटी समप्रभा।
निर्विघ्नं कुरु मे देव सर्व-कार्येशु सर्वदा॥

Shree Vakratunda Mahakaya Suryakoti Samaprabha।
Nirvighnam Kuru Me Deva Sarva-Kaaryeshu Sarvada॥

The king accompanied by his queen and siblings can be seen doing puja. After half an hour , the puja is finished.

" Rana sa Hukum, The local people want to meet you." Abhimanyu said.

" Abhi what's with this Hukum , you are allowed to call me with my name , so please do that only. And chalo, chalke milte h " said the Ranasa.

Meanwhile , near the steps, Ishika can be seen munching  Dairy Milk and seeing Krishika and Ananya  near her, she offers them too.

" Jijisa  aap aur Bhabhisaa chocolates khaoge kya " Ishika asks cheerfully.

Before even Krishi can reply, Viraj comes and snatches the chocolates from Ishika saying " Ishu, you are offering chocolates to the wrong people, share it with me, not with someone who has jaani dushmani with chocolates. I don't know how can someone not like chocolates. Chocolates are bae"

" Yaa, yaa, chocolates are bae😏. And  here I'm wondering how can someone love chocolates so much. Ishu, you aren't sharing this with Veer." Ananya said strictly..

" Bhabhi--" Ishika was about to say but Viraj beat her to that by  saying " Please Anu let me have na ."

" No , Veer I won't , sometimes I wonder you should have got married to chocolates Instead of me." Ananya said making an angry face .

" Ohho someone's getting jealous but you know me na Anu how much I love chocolates , I will happily get married to them. Chocolates are my first love." Viraj said teasingly..

" Oohh reallllyy then go , marry your first love , I'm going from here" said Ananya and left from there stumping her feet.

" Anu Bhabhi !"
"Anu Bhabhisaa!!"
Krishi and Ishika said .

" Bhaisa, aap kiu Bhabhisaa ko pareshan karte h , aab jaieye unhe manaiye." Ishika said .

" Arre Ishu aapki Bhabhisaa ko na pareshan Karna Hume boht Acha Lagta h and Rahi baat manane ki first let me finish this chocolate" Veer said continuing eating dairy milk.

" Bhaisaa, aapko toh bolna hi bekar h , Ishu I'm coming in a while." Krishika said going after Ananya.

" Bhabhisa, aap kiu Bura maan Rahi h , please Bura maat mano, aap toh jante ho na , Bhai loves you more than anything else and loves to tease you up." Krishika said in a bid to cheer up Ananya.

" I know Krishi but still----" Ananya was about to say but was interrupted by someone.

While Ananya and Krishi were talking standing near the car, a boy in his late twenties comes from behind and said " Anu, Mene kha tha na , you should have married me instead of Veer. Bachpan se Aapka deewana Hu madam ji , sirf aapka but still you broke my heart Anu" He said making a crying face. To which Ananya and Krishi just have him a look as if asking ' Are you done with your acting?'

" Sudhar jao Mister, inspite of being married to me , you are still trying to flirt with my best friend's sister.  Very bad , Maan aaj toh tum gye " said another person coming from behind.

" Aab bolo Manas, aaj toh gye aap , Kashvi won't leave you." Ananya said chuckling , immediately forgetting that she was angry on her husband a few moments back .

" Not done Bhabhi's you all can't gang up on my Manas Bhai like this " said  Krishika

Hearing this Manas's face lit up at once but it fell at the same lightening speed as Krishi finished her sentence saying  " I will also accompany you."
" That's my girl" Kashvi said hi-Fi-ing with Krishika.

"It's not done Krishi" Manas said.

" Everything's fair" Ananya said.

" Bacho tumlog ne Veer ko dekha " Choti Rani MaaSa asked coming near them.

" Choti Maasa aap pareshan lag Rahi h, kuch huwa kiya" Krishika asked.

" Woh Krishi beta , hum Soch rahe the Veer ke haathon se hi hum yeh dakshina dilae, par Woh h kha , pata nhi." Choti Rani MaaSa said .

"Khama Ghani, Choti Rani MaaSa, Aap aese kiu bol Rahi h ,Veer yhi Kahi  hoga" Manas said taking blessings from Choti Rani MaaSa.

" Yhi Kahi h par Kaha " Choti Rani MaaSa asked.

" Choti Maasa Hukum, Kunwarsa yahi pe corridor mein honge yaa shayad neeche steps ke pass chocolate khaa rahe  honge" Kashvi said.

" Yeh Veer bhi na , iske bachpan ki aadat aab tak nhi gyi, chocolates se koi itna pyaar kese Kar Sakta h , bachpan me Meera jijisa pareshan ho jati thi" Choti Rani MaaSa said remembering how little Veer always used to run behind her Jijisa for chocolates and she has to hide them but finally  will always have to give him seeing his puppy eyes.

" And aab hum hote h Choti Maa" Ananya muttered in her breath which only Krishika heard. To which she Said " Bhabhisaa please upset maat hoiye Bhaisaa se "

This was heard by Choti Rani MaaSa. She asked " Did Veer again do something?. Let me guess. He again teased you." Choti Rani MaaSa said smilingly and then added " You know na uski bachpan ki aadat h yeh , jinse Woh pyaar karta h unhe chedna usse Acha Lagta h " .To which Ananya nodded in yes.

Precap:

"Vi, sambhal ke , where are you going?"

" Mahi" Vi replied.
