Next day:

A phone is continuously ringing from the bean bag in the theatre room waking a very cranky person who was resting on it. Picking it up on finding the caller to be some 'Inder',the cranky person replied "Aap jo insaan se sampark karna chahte ho wo abhi theatre room se bahar hai,kripya thodi der baad kijiye" and cut the call.

Getting off the bean bag after 2 min, realising at once the blunder he had committed,he started shouting for the mobile's owner "Kaashu....Kaashu...Kashvi" and ran out of the room finding her..

Finding her after a frantic search of 10 minutes,he said huffing "Kaashu yeh le teri phone.Someone named Inder called.You have left this in the theatre room itself after we saw the movie there" and explained the entire fiasco.

Listening that she got a call, Kashvi very quickly snatched her mobile at once and muttered a bit angrily "Viraj bhai,yeh sab na aapki wajah se....Na aap force karte movie dekhne ke liye ,na mein bhul jati waha pe...Ab dekho aap ne kya kiya....Kyun answer kiya Veer bhai aapne...Aap bhi na"

Viraj followed the woman saying "sorry na Kashu....I was sleepy" and tried convincing her throughout their walk in the corridor.Reaching the end of it ,neither of them had seen Rana sa and dashed into him causing all three of them to fall down.

Rubbing their backs,all three of them got up cursing all the deities in existence. Then out of blue, Rana sa said "Well accha hua....Glad I met you both here itself..Viraj,Kashvi you both should attend the Bi-Annual Army Congregation along with Abhi that is going to be held at Udaipur."Seeing that Viraj is about to protest,he said with a tone of finality "No Viraj you have to go there both as Major Viraj Rathore (Rtd.) and also representing our royal family as it is being held on our domain.No more further questions. Understood??"

Understanding that there is no way for him to slither out of this,Viraj reluctantly gave his nod

2 hrs later:

The entire gallery and grounds were decked in tri colour from the top to the bottom and the program started with the age old usual song of Kadam Kadam Badhaye Ja.

Kadam kadam badhaye ja
Khushi ke geeth gaaye ja
Yeh zindagi hai qaum ki
Tu qaum par lutaye ja

Tu sher-e-hind aage bad
Marne se tu kabhi na darr
Udaake dushmano ka sarr
Josh-e-vatan badhaye ja...

After that the gallantry awards were presented of which Viraj was a recipient too. He was awarded one (unsurprisingly to Kashvi and Abhi but surprise to him) along with one other awardee Major Aditya Saha who was awarded posthumously (apparently collected by his brother). The entire programme concluded with the final customary .

Raj Rif ke veer hum,
Kaal ke bhi kaal hai
Khudte hai yudh mein
Tho karte bhumi laal hai

song of Rajputana Rifles regiment followed by The National Anthem.

While traversing the grounds with Kashvi,he was suddenly hugged by a ball of energy shouting "Vi chachu'.

Chuckling,he replied in an equally enthusiastic way "Anvi" and both of them started talking so fastly without even realising the importance of stopping in between to take a breath. This made Kashvi clear her throat saying "Hum bhi hai yaha pe.." and Anvi sheepishly greeted her. On Anvi's insistence of wanting to meet Abhi,both Viraj and Anvi left after telling Kashvi to let Anvi's father know.

Upon finding the person,who is asking nearby people whether they have seen a girl of 12 years, Kashvi went introducing herself "Hello Mr.Saha. I am Kashvi Malhotra. Your daughter Anvi has gone to meet one of my friends."

Wriddhiman Saha (angrily) : How can you do that??Zara sa bhi common sense nahi hai kya aap mein?? That you have to let the parent know??

Kashvi (controlling herself) : Pardon me Mr.Saha. Your wife Mrs.Saha attends this function every 2 years and through her we know Anvi very well and vice-versa. Just because aapko pata nahi it doesn't mean we don't have common sense. I understand your concern par baat thoda sambhal ke if u can please And let me explain...

Before she could complete her words,at the very moment Anvi came along with Abhimanyu saying "Papa aap Kashvi di se mila?? Aur pata hai yeh chocolate mujhe Vi chachu ne diya aur yeh flowers bhi "

Wriddhi: Anvi beta...Vi chachu ...?

Kashvi(quickly):Viraj Rathore...Mr Saha...aapka bhai Aditya Saha ka best friend in the regiment...Actually I'am Viraj's family friend and we were close to Adit as well...Isilye Anvi along with Mrs Saha knows us and I was about to explain it to you but aapne nahi suna...(Turning towards anvi) Anvi beta, Vi chachu kaha hai??

Anvi: Call pe hai di...

Kashvi finally extended her hand towards Wriddhi saying:It's nice meeting you Mr.Saha...

*Knock knock*

"Haa Deewan Saab"

" Hukum aapse milne ke liye koyi Mr. Ganguly aaye h "

" Bring him inside," replied Ranasa.

Mr Ganguly was escorted by the Deewan to Ranasa's meeting place. Getting a nod from Rana , the Deewan went away .

" How ?? How could you do this to me ? You knew about my Mahiya all along .Inspite of it you were calm and didn't even bother to tell me..mein yha pagalo ki tarah usse pichle Do saal se dhund raha hu and tum ye jante hue bhi chup the." Dada aka Mr. Ganguly asked Ranasa holding his collar.

Before Ranasa could say something, the door of his cabin opened, seeing that a smile appeared on his face because he knows only one person can walk inside now, his wife , she must have come to know about Mr . Ganguly. His wife came inside and seeing the scene before her eyes made her anger shoot up . Pushing Mr Ganguly away from her husband she said angrily " How dare you , mere ghar mein khade hoke ,mere pati ki collar pakadne ki himmat kese huwi, bhul gye hai aap kha khade hai, kisse baat kar rahe hai. Jinki collar aapne pakada na,yeh yha ke Ranasa hai , yahan ke log inse bahut pyaar karte hai aur sirf pyaar hi nhi inki boht ijaat bhi karte hai, jara sochiye unhe pata chalega ki Aapne unke pyare Ranasa ki girban(collar)pe haat daalne ki koshish ki hai toh kya hasn aur haalat karenge aapka..
woh mujhe batane ke jarurat nhi hai shayad But kher chodiye ,woh toh badme karenge ..first let me do things my way , akhir aapne mere Arjun ki collar pakdi hai, Aise soch bhi kaise aaya aapke dimag mein?"

" Ayu shant ho jao Jaan!"

"Nhi Jun... kisne inhe wo adhikar diya ki yeh mere Arjun ki collar pakade " Turning towards Dada "Aap honge president bcci ka...par wo sab iss territory se bahar.. Iss territory me sirf Arjun ka raaj chlata (Note: Though our constitution has abolished royalty, the royalty still has immense respect, power and control in their respective territories and we are assuming this in our story. And mind it we don't promote it just for the sake of story assuming this.) sirf Arjun ka hai...chahe aap jitne bhi bada aadmi ho yaad rakhiye ga ki Arjun Singh Rathore uss se bada ha...Aur yaha aane se pehle aapka pura ghamand chod ke aana padega... yha ek pattha bhi Arjun ki marji ki bina nhi hilta. Just because wo dikhata nahi don't think you can f***ing walkover him. And Zara rewind kar dijiye flashback ko Ganguly Saab,Mahi sir ka jaana aur uske saath ya pehle Jo kuch bhi hua usmein jyada dar aapka bhi haath tha ... So kyu bataye aapko , hote kon ho aap.?" She said, throwing daggers through her eyes .

"Yaha ka MP bhi Arjun ke baat pe nachte hai if u know what I mean" She said smirkingly and "for the record..Aap ko tackle karne ke liye Mr.Arjun Singh Rathore ki jarurat nahi hai i guess sirf aur sirf mein Mrs.Ayanshi A Rathore kaafi hun..And mein aapse bahuth izzat deke baat kar rahi hu,behtar yeh hoga ki wo izzat aap salamat rakhe and mujhe mazbur mat kijiye ga ki mein kuch ulta seedha Karu..Arjun hoga thoda kind hearted par mein nahi hu...aur mere pati ke maamle mein bilkul nahi..."

The door opened with a loud bang seeing which Arjun didn't know whether to laugh,bang his head or scold Ishika who is dragging a person like he is a cattle(cow/ox)..

This scene made one of the two other occupants go into a shell shock and the other laugh on the shocked person.

Not bothering with any of these,Ishika said: Kabir bhai...aao na baitho...aur Arjun bhaisa pata hai aapko Kabir bhai is waiting in the common room as if he is someone paraya to us...daanto acche se unhe...

Arjun(controlling his laughter):Abey Bira...tum kyun wait kar rahe ho...aur tujhe kab se appointment ki jarurat padi...

This made Kabir sign towards dada ,to which Ayanshi immediately replied:Bira ..waise bhi Mr.Ganguly ka kaam ho gaya ..Wo jaane hi Wale the ..aur dusri baat wo hai bhi tho you will never ever require appointment to meet Arjun"and raised her one eyebrow looking at dada as if saying "dekha ...jo maine bola"

Sussex,England:

Commentator:
And that is a 6...Curran swings it and Pant hits it down the boundary for a double...Pant and Thakur seem to be having a fantastic partnership here against Worcestershire. Slowly the sun is sinking down and with that it's stumps for Day 3 Worcestershire 491 allout (with S.K.Yadav 169 not out) and Sussex 358/6(R Pant 123* and S.Thakur 54*). It's always a pleasure to watch this young man bat. The way he evolved in the last 2 years from his destructive live by sword,die by sword tendencies to being the fulcrum of a test team,batting with grit,resilience and patience.

Meanwhile ,a person shouted from the opposite side of the stairs:

Oye....Spidey....

To which Pant craned his neck at a breaking speed but immediately relaxed after finding the person who called him so and muttered Surya bhaiyya..

Surya:Hey Shar,hey Rishu....
Hugging both of them...

Shar:You know what sometimes I feel we kinda lucked out...

Understanding why he said that all three of them went into the dressing room silently

Divya:Aisa nahi hai di....Aap galat soch rahe hai....

Sakshi:Don't bluff me even now Divya ..Tell me why....Mein Mahi ko nahi bataungi ..Just tell me and I will let you go ..Mahi ko nahi bataungi and you can just leave...

Divya:Nahi di...Aap galat kar rahe ho aur soch rahe ho ...

At the sametime,both of them are startled by another voice which is very angry and has been listening to the convo since the last 2 min...

Voice:How dare you...How dare you backstab Sakshi...The one who brought you here.....Hote kaun ho mere ghar ke mamle mein interfere kar rahe ho and Sakshi what is she hiding??And what r u trying to hide...

Sensing no response,he shouts koi mujhe kuch bolega...??

Divya with a frustrated voice:You asked me how dare you na...I dare because I'm family JIJU....because we are family....Aapne teekh nahi kiya..Ram ke paas sirf Lakshman hi bhai nahi tha unke paas aur dho bhai the...Aur yaha ka Ramayan mein Ram ne wo dono ko tyag kardiya lakshman ke baad....Kya Lakshman ko accha lagega ye??

Voice:Shut up....what Ram and all and first tell me who are you?? Don't make me throw you out of the house....

Divya:Mein sach bol rahi hu JIJU....We are family....

Rajpath Road,Delhi 9 pm:
This is Bhavika Mishra from Zee Media with Cameraman Ankush Sen reporting the emergency cabinet meeting which is being held right now at the Janpath 10.According to our confidential sources,one of the agenda's of this meeting is the reinforcement of forces in the Galwan border . Only time will reveal whether this piece of information is true or not. Is this a ploy to divert the opposition or another masterstroke from the 5 point agenda of our PM.It's still a surprise to the entire media community as well as to the country after almost 2.5 years ,the way Mr.KD's(as he refers to himself as) candidature was put forward for the PM nominations. Out of nowhere due to excruciating circumstances he had to step up. But what a ride it's been . It's not an exaggeration to say he is the most beloved leader in our country at the moment.Three words: Approachable, Diligent, Ethical. We at Zee Media hope he has a successful career even ahead and wishing him a very happy birthday.
