1. THE CONFRONTATION AND COMFORT
PS: From the precap, when we see Maya insulting Kulshrestha's, but what if Gungun comes from behind and hear her arguments with them.
-----------------------------------------------------------
Maya and Riddhesh stepped inside the Saraswati Nivas, as Riddhesh introduced Maya to Anubhav and the whole family who were present there along with Charudatt, "Yeh hain Dr. Maya, Gungun ki Mom."
Everyone smiled looking at Maya as they welcomed her, when Anubhav went closer to her, as he bent down to take her blessings and touch her feet, and said, "Namaste!"
Maya immediately stepped back as she said, "Thanks, but don't. Yeh sab bohot outdated practices hain..."
As Riddhesh introduced Anubhav to Maya as he said, "Yeh hai Anubhav."
Maya shortly smiled at him, as the others asked them to get seated, when Chandragupt spoke up, "Chavvi, Neeti jaake Chachi ke liye juice leaao..."
"Chachi!?" exclaimed a bewildered Maya, as she took a moment to compose herself as she replied, "Aap log mujhe Maya bula sakte hain, instead of anything else...."
Riddhesh slightly shook his head disappointedly, as Goli replied coming forward, "Maya ji, humare yahaan toh postman ko bhi Chacha kehte hain aur dukaandaar wale ko bhi Bhaiya. Hum toh unke saath bhi rishta jod lein jinse hum mile bhi nahi, lekin aapse toh pehle se hi ek rishta hai...."
Maya smiled fakely looking at Goli, when Neeti and Chavvi came back, and handed over the juice to Riddhesh and Maya as Maya questioned Anubhav, "Riddhesh ne mujhe btaya ki tum Scientist ho?'
"Ji haan." replied Anubhav with a decent smile.
Maya smiled as she said, "Yaani tum bhi abroad shift hone ka soch rhe hoge, right?"
"Ji nahi." Anubhav replied straight leaving Maya startled as she enquired, "Lekin kyun? India ke 99% Scientist abroad shift hona chahte hain kyunki vahaan scope hai...."
"Humare Anu ko America ki bohot badi company se job offer hua tha lekin usne mana krdiya." said Charudatt, much to Maya's displeasure as she turned to Anubhav.
Maya took a moment as she said, "But vahaan pe kaafi scope hai."
"Aur main yahaan scope banana chahta hoon, Scientist hoon Ma'am, practical decision hai mera, meri family ke saath rehne ka...." said Anubhav in a taunting tone.
Maya this time turned to Riddhesh who was drinking juice, as she said, "Aise logon ke saath tumne Gungun ka rishta tay kiya hai. Jab yeh log mujhe aise treat kr rhe hain so I can imagine ki meri Beti ko kaise treat krenge..."
Anubhav interrupted Maya, not letting her complete as he said, "Jab aapki beti yahaan aati hai tab voh sabko respect deti hai, aur jo hume respect deta hai hum unki respect vapis bhi krte hain."
Maya turned to Riddhesh as she said in a louder voice, "I still don't understand ki Riddhesh tum Gungun ka rishta es parivaar mein kaise kra sakte ho!?"
While Anubhav who was standing with Yug said, "Toh phir aap ek baar mein bol kyun nahi deti ki aapko yeh rishta krwana hai ya nahi?" whereas Maya replied, testing his patience, "Sochke btayenge."
Till now Riddhesh who was quiet got up and looking at Maya he said, "Esme decide krne ki koi baat nahi hai. Yeh rishta already fix ho chuka hai." Whereas Maya frowned as she said, "Lekin mujhe yeh parivaar pasand nahi hai!"
"Tumse tumhari soch koi nahi puch rha hai yahaan, and vaise bhi, tumhe yahaan shaadi ke liye invite kiya gya hai aur agr Gungun ko pta chala ki tum yahaan aake kya kr rhi ho, then tumhe pta hai voh kya kregi." said Riddhesh warning Maya about Gungun, as she wouldn't like her Maya insulting Kulshresths.
The atmosphere was getting heated up, as Golu said calmly looking at Maya with a subtle smile, "Aap Gungun se hi kyun nahi puch leti ki usse humara parivaar kaisa lagta hai?"
"Haan, and vaise bhi yeh Gungun se better kaun bta sakta hai ki usse humara parivaar kaisa lagta hai..." said Yug, but was interrupted by Maya, as she questioned him, "Aap kaun?"
"Main, Yug Kulshresth, Anu ka bada bhai." said Yug as Maya enquired again, "And aapki qualifications kya hai?"
"Maine B-Tech ki hai, and filal main ek irrigation engineer hoon." replied Yug, while the conversation was heating up Anubhav.
"Aapki salary?" Maya questioned but this time she was interrupted as Anubhav cross questioned her, "Aap itni information ka kya krengi? Rishta krana hai mere bhai ka? But he is already married, yeh hai meri Neeti Bhabhi." he completed, pointing towards Neeti.
Maya glared at Anubhav, as she replied back, "Main sirf esliye puch rhi hoon, because I wanna know, ki yahaan ki income kitni hai?"
"Mere Bade bhaiya aur Chote Bhaiya retired hain, ghar mein main, Anu aur Yug kamate hain, aur meri dono bhabhi aur meri patni housewives hain. Aur Goli didi teacher hain." replied Golu straightly looking at Maya, in the most calm way he could.
Maya rolled her eyes when Sargam said, "Main aapko pura ghar dikha deti hoon."
"Pura ghar nahi sirf voh room jahaan Gungun rahegi." replied Maya as she stood up when Goli said, "Voh room ab tak ready nahi hua hai."
Anubhav wasn't in mood to argue with Maya anymore as he was about to leave when Yug, Neeti, Chavvi, Khushi stopped him, saying that it would mean of him to leave when what Maya said next infuriated Anubhav, "Toh meri beti ko aap kahaan, yahaan angan mein rakhenge!?"
"Humare yahaan Bahu ko lakshmi maana jaata hai, aur Lakshmi ki izzat ki jaati hai, uska sam-maan kiya jaata hai. Gungun ko hum yahaan bohot pyaar se rakhenge..." said Divya softly looking at Maya as Sunanda added, "Aur vaise bhi Gungun bitiya humare yahaan Bahu se zaada beti banke aarhi hai. Aur aisa lagta hi nahi ki voh Bahu bani hi nahi, kyunki hum to usse pehle hi es ghar ki bitiya maan chuke hain..."
"And agr voh room Gungun ke comfort level ke hisaab se nahi hoga, toh kya krengi aap, Ma'am?" questioned Anubhav sarcastically.
Maya looked at Anubhav, as she said with the sarcasm dripping in her tone along with the attitude, "Toh main us room ko Gungun ke hisaab se design krwaungi, us room mein cosy, luxurious bed lagwaungi, saath mein, wardrobes, hair dressers and baaki sab kuch."
Everyone looked at Maya, purely surprised, when Maya added, "You know what aap log kaafi outdated hain, so please update yourself."
This made everyone baffled, as Riddhesh was about to apologise to Kulshresth's for Maya's unpleasant and harsh behaviour when a yell interrupted him,"Enough Doctor Maya!"
Everyone looked at the owner of the familiar voice, as the person is none other then Gungun who stepped inside, clenching het fists, she was so done with this lady as she directly went and stood infront of Maya, her back faced Anubhav, as she started, "Aapko koi hak nahi banta ki aap mere In-laws ki disrespect kren, unse es tarah baat kren! You get that!?"
"Gungun, tum seriously es family se rishta jodna chahti ho!? Like, they are so outdated....." said Maya but was interrupted when Gungun yelled, "Yeh koi phone nahi hain Doctor Maya, jo update ho, they are human! And human evolve hote hain!"
"Gungun, tum point samjho. Yahaan teen kamane ke log hain aur terha (13) khaane ke! Do retired hain, aur sab government schools se padhe hain! Sirf yeh ek Anubhav hai jisne scholarship pe Msc. ki hai aur voh bhi kisi kaam ki nahi jo ek mamuli institute mein padha rha hai...." said an disgusted Maya.
Whereas Gungun who was so done with Maya's insults towards the Kulshresths tried her best to said it in the most calmest way as possible, trying not to do anything infront of Kulshresths, "Doctor Maya yeh meri last warning hai, don't you dare say another word against MY family!" as she stressed on "My".
While Maya was startled as she kept her hand on Gungun's shoulder as she started, "Gungun..."
But this time, Gungun's anger had reached its peak, as she shrugged off her hands and said glaring at her, "Riddhima! Riddhima Bhatnagar!"
And that's when, a realisation dawned the Kulshresths as they realised her real name is "Riddhima", it's just they were habitual of Gungun as they looked up worried at Gungun, whereas now Anubhav wasn't sure if Gungun would calm down now.
A startled Maya looked at Gungun, as she started, "I am your Mom..."
"Voh Mom jo saalon pehle mujhe chodke chali gyi thi!?" said Gungun sarcastically as Maya was about to say something when Gungun stopped her, showing her hands, as she started, "Aapko koi hak nahi banta ki aap Chant Chashmish, ya yahaan es parivaar ke kisi sadasya ko kuch bhi kahen!"
"Chant Chashmish? Gungun, tum pehle dusron ki respect krna seekho, jiski side le rhi ho atleast uska naam toh dhang se lo." said an infuriated Maya, as she looked at Anubhav and Gungun simultaneously.
While Gungun clapped her hands sarcastically as she spoke up, "Main agr apni family ko us name se bulaun jo maine diya toh voh unki insult! Aur yeh baat aapko itni der se samajh nahi aayi jab aap essi family ki insult kr rhi thi!"
Maya was about to say something when interrupted, "Wait, aapki tasalli ke liye main hi yahaan puch leti hoon ki agr yahaan kisiko mere names se problem hai!? Round Chachu, Musical Aunty, Bullet Bua, Neeti Bhabhi, Yug Bhaiya, Ankit Bhaiya, Khushi, Chavvi, Bade Papa, Badi Mummy, Chant Chashmish! Aapme se kisiko koi problem hai ki main aapko aise bulati hoon?"
Everyone immediately nodded their heads in negative, even Anubhav as he had got used to her addressing him as 'Chant Chashmish', as Sunanda said, "Bitiya hum sabko kya pareshaani hosakti hai balki humko toh acha lagta hai..."
Gungun shortly smiled at Sunanda as she turned back to Maya who was rolling her eyes as Gungun spoke up, crossing her arms, "Ab aap meri baat suniye! Jaise aap yeh makeup mein foundation lagati hain na vaise hi Bade Papa aur Badi Ma es ghar ki foundation hain!"
Sunanda and Charudatt smiled emotionally at Gungun's words while the other Kulshresths smiled lightly as Gungun added, "Bhai, yeh shabd toh maine apni life mein bas suna tha, kabhi feel nahi kiya but yahaan, mujhe do bhai mile, Yug bhaiya and Ankit Bhaiya, voh kisi bhi fight mein Chant Chashmish ki side nahi lete, voh meri side lete hain, mujhe pamper krte hain!"
Both the brothers looked at Gungun, with the affection visible in their eyes, when Gungun started again, as she got her hands near her chest, "Khushi, Chavvi, Neeti Bhabhi, they were alwaysย on my side! They are like my sisters now, infact they are my sisters!"
The three girls smiled at her emotionally, as Maya was about to interrupt Gungun when she stopped midway, as Gungun warned her through her reactions to not to interrupt, "Dad mere saath humesha nahi the but yahaan aake jinhone mujhe beti ki tarah pyaar diya voh hain Chant Chashmish ke Papa! Unhone Chant Chashmish ko meri vajah se daanta hai!"
"Aapke phone mein toh smiley ka emogi na ho but yahaan es ghar mein toh full on laughter happiness ka living example hain Round Chachu! Bullet Bua is the perfect example for Feminism, aap nahi!
And aap kehti hain na ki aap Ma hai meri, jaanti hain Ma kaisi hoti hai? Musical Aunty jaisi! I can assure you, ki aapka aur Musical aunty ka koi comparison hi nahi hai! Because, Musical Aunty ne meri bhi Ma ki tarah hi care ki hai!" said Gungun looking at Maya, as she was shooting daggers.
While Maya who didn't even cared of what Gungun told her, said with the attitude, "Aur kuch bhi bacha hai!"
Everyone was surprised at her reaction except Gungun, the Kulshresths couldn't believe that someone could be this low, as Gungun said, "Anubhav ke baare mein nahi sunengi?"
Anubhav who was standing behind her was startled as he heard her say his name for the first time while Maya frowned at her sentence.
