Mehra Mansion

Pragya: "Ronnie, come in please," she shouts

Everyone turns to the entrance as Ronnie walks in. He comes up to Pragya with folded hands and greets her, "Namaste Didi, I am ready to work"

Pragya: "Thank you Ronnie, I was just about to assign everyone with their respective tasks. Please make sure to keep note of it as well."

Ronnie: "As you say di."

Pragya faces the family with a happy smirk and starts to dish out the much awaited chore sentence. She has been dying to put the ungrateful few that take advantage of Abhi to work ever since she married into this house and finally, the time has come!

"For the next few months I have allowed all the house servants as well as maintenance servants to go on leave. When this will end will depend on the success of our famous 'Abhi the rock star's' next album. So without wasting anymore time" she says turning to Dadi and Dasi...

"As everything starts with elders, it is only fitting that I start with Dadi and Dasi. The 2 of you will be responsible for the mandir. It needs to be kept clean daily, diya lit on time in the morning for aarthi and puja stock needs to be maintained. Important and big functions such as Dushera / Diwali etc, which are coming up, you will need to ensure that planning is top notch, I will be getting major sponsors for those event and we cannot afford for anything to go wrong. If anything runs out or you need help with any planning, let Ronnie or Robin know immediately." She says with a straight face even though her heart breaks. She never wanted to give Dadi of all people work to do, but needs to make sure that those 2 chudails don't get suspicious.

"Thaiji, you will be responsible for maintaining the garden. Do you know that the world's most leading incurable disease is diabetes and this comes from being obese. By working in the garden all day it will help you maintain your weight and keep you fit. After all it is not healthy to sit around all day eating someone else's hard earned money and you can be sure that I will not allow that! And before anyone thinks of starting their but she is old jaap, rather save your breath, even Dadi and Dasi are doing work, no exceptions! I will no longer fit the bill for lazy people in this house!"

"Mithali bhabi, seeing as though you love fluttering around everyone's rooms picking up gossip and violating their privacy, you can start picking up something else whilst you're there, each person's clothes! You will wash them by hand, dry, iron and return them back to the owner's rooms. And please be careful with the amount of detergent you use, we are on cost cutting" she says with a smirk watching Mithali's eyes bulged out of their sockets. "Also bhabi, you need to make sure that breakfast, lunch and supper is prepared on time every day. Tanu will be helping you. Whatever food is cooked must be enough for every member of this house. Wasting will not be tolerated. If anyone misses a meal, you will wait till the next one or starve for all I care." She says while holding back her laugh. She has been dying to teach Mithali a tough lesson since the MMS drama!

"Raj Bhaiya your responsibility will be the kids. If there is anything else I think you can help with I will let you know. " She does not think he deserves anything worse as he has always been kind to everyone and is a man who lives by principles. But little does fuggi know that Raj is the mastermind behind this whole game.

"Tanu you will help Mithali bhabi in the kitchen with whatever she needs. And whatever means chopping vegetables, cooking the food, washing the dishes, drying and putting them back in their rightful place. You also need to help Alia with the washrooms." She says while picturing her squatting over a toilet. Oh how her hearts laughs at the sight of this. Tanu is about to retort but Pragya turns away and starts with her last target before she even gets a chance to say anything. Bechari chudail!

And finally Alia, you have the most important job in this house, you see we will be having clients over very often and the house needs to sparkle, I mean really shine. We don't want to ruin your brother's reputation now do we? So you will, by hand, sweep and mop this entire house top to bottom, you know, jhadoo poncha, (God how I wanted to see this happen for real) and, you will also clean everyone's washrooms. And be clear that if I see a speck of dust anywhere, you will redo the entire house again until I am satisfied!" The smirk is now permanent on her face, her heart feels so light. She knows this is nothing compared to what they have planned and is still planning for her love but just the idea of seeing them miserable makes her very happy.

Abhi POV

Wah mera Sherni! What punishment you have dished out. I am so happy I could just kiss you right now fuggi. Control Abhi; don't do anything that will fail your plans! But damn my fuggi yaar, she proved she is a teacher. What a detention she gave them, I just want to laugh out loud thinking about Alia and Tanu especially. Hahaha, Jhadoo poncha and everything nice, it's always good to add in spice! Wah kya rhyming Abhi, you should make a song about this! Well done fuggi jaan!

End of POV

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

Once she is done with Alia, uproar of shouting takes place, everyone screaming on top of each other ...

Alia: "Who the hell do you think you are to order me like this? Me, Alia Mehra, Jhadoo Poncha, no ways sweetheart. I will never accept any of your rules. "

Mithali: "Wash clothes, and that too for this whole house and by hand and still cook food, I will never do it. What the hell do you think of yourself Pragya?"

Tanu: "You middle class scum behenji, you think I will do whatever you say? No chance, Abhi will never allow me to do this", and she turns to him, "am I right baby? I am carrying our baby, how can I do work? Pregnant ladies should not do anything but relax Abhi, please sort this behenji out!" She screeches will Abhi looks on pretending to not hear her!

Thaiji: "Have you no shame Pragya? Is this how you behave towards your elders? This is all your mother's fault. Such a poor upbringing she gave you. No wonder you are doing all of this today. Fatherless children will always stray from their values."

And that does it; that strikes a nerve with Mogambo. As soon as her mother's name was mentioned and her upbringing questioned, her blood started to boil. Picking on her is one thing but Pragya can never control herself when it comes to her mother. She will not spare anyone.

Pragya: "Everybody shut up NOW!!!" she shouts out in fury. Pin drop silence descends over the mansion. Her breathing heavy as fury pulses through her veins. She has had enough of them and wants to teach them a lesson on the spot.

She turns to Thaiji: "How dare you pick on my upbringing? Who are you to question me or my mother? She may not accept who I am right now, but she is still my mother and I will not tolerate a word against her, do you get that? I had respect for you as an elder, but you just lost that today by uttering such nonsense out of your mouth. You have a greedy nature that I knew when I married into this house, but I never though you could stoop this low as to assassinate someone's character who never did anything wrong.

Tell me, is this what you taught your kids? Oh no wait, you just taught your one son that it's okay to marry a girl, make her pregnant and leave her behind so he can marry someone else who has money and status. While shunning away his responsibilities as a parent of a child that you claim has 'filthy blood' but you never stopped once to think that the same 'filthy blood' running in that child's veins runs in yours to!

And you taught your other son that it is okay to sign papers, abusing their job authority, illegally changing ownership of 1 person's property over to a man who used it as blackmail to marry a girl that detests him and destroy a family's happiness and livelihood that they worked hard for!" She says with fury to Thaiji, spewing out all the venom from within that she had been holding back.

Her chest heaving and she gathers her breath back after her outburst. She turns away not wanting to say anything else as she fears losing herself in the process and becoming one of them. Though it is acting for her, the past has flashed in her mind and fueled her anger. Raj and Mithali were the reason for Neil coming into their lives and the gun shot scene is all she can see. Her love getting shot and almost dying in her arms replaying in her mind causes tears to build up which she quickly wipes away.

Pragya: "ROBIN" she shouts out, and he makes his way to her.

Robin: "Ji ma'am" 

Pragya: "Go up to the following people's rooms, pack their belongings and throw it out of my house with them right now, Alia, Tanu, Mithali Bhabi and Thaiji. Do it right now. Ronnie, go and help him!"

Robin: "Ji ma'am I will do it now" With a happy smile on his face. 'Yes, they will be out of this house, the very people that make me want to leave this job everyday! If it wasn't for Abhi Sir, Pragya ma'am and Dadi, I would have left a long time ago' he thinks to himself as he marches up stairs.

Stunned silence, the four can't believe what they just heard and each one terrified of the thought of leaving the house. Where will they go? How will they survive without Abhi's money? This is the thoughts running through their minds. They know that they will have no choice but to accept her rules and chores. Their fear of having nothing scares them and moreover, Alia knows her plans will flop if she is out of the house.

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

Mithali: "No, no Pragya, I just said that out of shock, I am happy to do whatever you tell me to do, I can even worship at your feet" and she runs to Pragya and bends down with folded hands, "Please my Devi Ma Pragya, please forgive me."

Thaiji: "Pragya I am sorry, I never meant to, I mean I should not have said that. Please forgive me; I said everything out of frustration, I am happy to do as you say"

Alia: "We will do as you say, he na Tanu", she turns to Tanu and pleads with her eyes to just go along with it as she needs to be in this house in order to complete her plans. But also a part of her does not want to be away from her bhai and dadi, though she will never admit this out aloud.

Tanu: "Alia how can we stay here and do all this? Are you mad? I am a super model, I have an image to keep up, and I can't be doing house chores. And I am pregnant Alia, did you forget that?" she whispers back to Alia in fury

Alia: "Miss model Tanu, might I remind you that you don't have a place to stay in and you sure as hell are no super model anymore, no one in the industry wants to work with you let alone look at you. Idiot, just shut up and agree otherwise all our plans, and your dreams to marry my brother will be just that, dreams! Duffer kahi ki."

Tanu wants to fight back but Alia silences her with the last line as she remembers how important it is for her to marry Abhi. Fear takes over as she sees Robin and Ronnie walking down with the bags and starts moving towards the door with it. She thinks to herself 'No I will only marry Abhi, he is my ticket to having everything I want in my life, and I can't lose this opportunity now. And once we get married I will teach this behenji a lesson. You have to grovel Tanu...'

Tanu: "Pragya please, let us stay here, we will do as you say, please I have nowhere else to go and I am carrying the Mehra family heir, please let us stay, I am sorry for everything I said."

Pragya: "Let this be a lesson to everyone in this house that Pragya does not play games. If any of you dare mess with me, you will find yourself on the streets. Do you get it?" And they all nod quietly though upset and angry by what they have to face because of her.

Pragya: "Mr Mehra, how nice of you to join us, I knew that you would not stay away for too long, after all you have no choice but to accept everything as it is!"

Abhi: "Oi lady Mogambo, I am not here for you, I am here because this is my house and my dadi is here, she means more to me than anything and I could not sit in happiness while knowing that you will do something to trouble her and I was right. Get this in your mind, I will get my property back and when I do, you will pay for everything you are putting my family through!"

Pragya laughs and say: "Let's see Mr Mehra although the chances of that happening are impossible. Well then, this was a lovely morning show, time to get to work. Come Mr Mehra, time to teach you a lesson as well." With that she walks out of the house stopping to tell Robin to take the bags back inside and Ronnie to keep an eye on everyone in the house.

Abhi stalls a bit wanting to check on dadi but gets pushed out of the house by Tanu who is now terrified after the morning events and does not want him to do something that could ruin their plans.

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

They reach the office and start looking into the accounts for the past few months. They go through each detail and both sit back shocked at what they have discovered. Pragya immediately calls the bank manager and requests a stop on all accounts that are receiving funds from the company while Abhi cannot control the tears streaming down his face seeing how his hard earned money is being squandered each day. He thought he could trust Alia and made her in charge of his finances never expecting that she would hurt him this badly.

While the 2 are discussing everything they have found, a pair of eyes is watching everything from outside their cabin and recording what he can. Abhi sees this from the corner of his eyes and decides to catch the person unaware. He succeeds and questions him. The story they both listen to rocks their world and Abhi can't believe that Alia would stoop this low. They look at each other with worry on their face, both thinking 1 thing..... 'How are we going to fix this mess?'

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