[NOCOPY]What's up peeps ?

Warning : ¾ of the chapter is about SaiRat. Haan khush ho jaao sab. 

I don't know why I loved writing their scenes, more because of Sai. I don't want to spoil it but I really hope you will like her as much as I loved writing on her.

It's revolution time. All the Chavan siblings want change. 
Enjoy the new Mohit and start guessing what will be Karishma's answer.

That's all for today. Enjoy the read.

Bhavani insisted on organzing a puja for Samrat's protection. On his last mission, he went missing in action for more than six months. This time also she wanted him back in one piece. Everyone woke up very early to prepare the puja before his flight at ten o'clock.

Virat came back to his room for Sai. Everyone was waiting for her to start the puja. She came out of the washroom in an elegant sky blue color saree. She looked so beautiful that he couldn't stop his smile. She found him weird. Not only was he smiling like an idiot but also seemed far away in a parallel universe. She held his hand to take him out of the room but he pulled her against him. With the same smile he held her closer and moved her mangalsutra to make it sit perfectly in the middle of the collarbone.

« We are getting late because of you. Kaku will again yell at us. », she said.
« Excuse me ? Because of me ? Who was taking so long to get ready that I had to come to get her ?», he replied.
« Haan haan theek hai. Ab chale ? », she said.

Before starting the puja Bhavani didn't forget to taunt them but Ashwini urged everyone to start the puja if they didn't want Samrat to miss the flight. Everything went smoothly till the end and when everyone was about to leave Virat again held Sai's hand and pulled her against him. Placing his hand behind her back he kept her closer to him. Everyone's eyes on them, Sai was embarrassed and thought that Kaku who was already pissed with them for their childish behavior will get pissed even more with this kind of behavior. He managed to pick a pinch of the kumkum and apply it on her forehead. According to his inner voice now she looked just perfect. He wondered why didn't he realize that if he always loved her with sindoor it was only because his heart had already accepted her as his wife since the first day of their marriage. This act of his was so soothing for the soul that she closed her eyes. A smile appeared on everyone's face. Can anyone mind a husband applying the vermilion on his wife's forehead ? Virat replaced her mangalsutra.

« Uffff Virat Sir can you stop playing with my mangalsutra ? », she asked.
« Can you wear it properly ? You stress me out with your tedha medha mangalsutra ? », he replied.
« Why do you even look at my mangalsutra if it stresses you out ? », she said.
« Who else's do you want me to look at ? », he asked innocently.

She was taken aback by his answer. Suddenly their conversation turned into such a intimate one that everyone looked down embarrased.

« Haan Vahini aap toh dada ki ek lauti biwi ho. Aapka nahin dekhega toh kiska dekhega ? », Mohit approached them to tease.
« Chup ho jaa mere bhai. », Virat pleaded wih him embarrassed by the blunder.

Biting his tongue he went to his room to get ready. Samrat also went upstairs for the same. A while later both the brothers came down at the same time. Samrat wanted to book a cab but Ashwini asked Virat to drop him off at the airport. Knowing the tension going on between them she thought it would give them the opportunity to sort out their differences. Bhavani and Mansi who understood her plans encouraged her.

In the car there was a big silence till Samrat broke it, « Do you love Sai ? »
Taken aback, « She is my wife so of course I do love her. »

The way he replied, it sounded like he didn't want to talk about it. Samrat remembered that he always wanted him to stay away from his personal life. He didn't insist on elaborating. Virat didn't want to tell anyone about his feelings before confessing it to Sai first.

Once dropped off, Samrat was joined by Luna. Both were taking the same flight. Their paths were tied till the landing then they were going to separate for how long that none of them knew.

Sitting on the passenger seat, Virat looked outside lost in his thoughts. She looked so beautiful today. He made fun of himself in his head. The way he was behaving with her was too obvious that he was in love with her. As much as he loved seeing her shocked, confused and taken aback by him, he also didn't want to scare her away. Anything was possible with her.

Sai spotted Virat two benches away from her giving his back to the professor and winking at her. Shocked she opened her mouth wide open. What was he doing there and what was this shameless behavior ? What would the professor and her mates think ? Elbowed by Kalpana, she looked at her friend.

« Kya ho gaya ? », she asked seeing Sai's mouth wide open.
« Virat Sir... », she started to explain pointing her fingers at him.

But he wasn't there anymore. She looked back at her friend who was still staring at her confused. She shook her head to tell her to forget about it. She looked back at where he was sitting a few seconds before and smiled at her own stupidity. As if he had so much spare time to be around her all the time.
Later in the library with a book in her hand she was revisualizing how he applied the vermillon on her forehead. She touched her mangalsutra with a smile. Someone in front of her took gently the book from her hand.

« Mein theek kardoon ? », he asked.
« Phirse ? Virat Sir aap toh mere mangalsutra ke peeche hi padh gaye hain. », she stopped him from touching it.

Exhausted by the studies, Aniket sat in front of her with a thud bringing her out of her reverie. Virat had disappeared again. She couldn't understand why she was seeing him everwhere. She put her hand on her heart as it was running fast.

After the dinner, Virat made sure that everyone went upstairs before going to his room.

« Sai. Saiiiii... Saiiiii. », he stormed in the room.
« What happened Virat Sir ? », she asked worried.
« Come, it's urgent. », he said.
« Where ? », she asked.
« Finger on your lips. Just come. », he dragged her outside.

He asked her to get in the car and drove for a while. Curious and impatient, she kept questioning about where he was taking her and what was the emergency that it couldn't wait. He parked the car and helped her get out of it. He held her hand and took her inside a bakery shop. He ordered two invidual chocolate cakes. Sai stared at him amazed by his craziness. He was sometimes crazier than her.

« That's the emergency ? Eating cake in the middle of the night. », she asked digging into the cake.
« I needed something sweet. », he replied.

He lied to her. The emergency wasn't the cake but spend time with her and create beautiful memories with her. Sai didn't want to complain. She herself loved the idea of spending such precious and unique moments with him. She never thought that one day he would take her out in the middle of the night for a chocolate cake.


Virat wanted to experience all the things that a husband and wife experience. He didn't have the courage to confess his love, fearing her reaction. Till he wasn't ready to share his feelings with her, he wanted to live the best days of their lives. Two days later, he took her to the movie theatre after her college. This was the first time that they were watching a movie with someone else other than their firends. It was a different kind of experience. After the movie they had dinner outside. In Chavan Niwas Bhavani fumed after Ashwini informed them that the couple was outside. She was the head of the family. Virat should have imformed her not his mother. She lashed out at her for allowing them to have dinner outside without her permission.

« Virat is my son. I think I have more rights on him than you. When it's about my son, I don't need anyone's permission. », Ashwini made it clear.

Bhavani was angry but she wasn't the only one. Pakhi hated the fact that Virat was falling in love with his wife.


A few days later, Virat and Sai went on a long drive. They stopped at a nice place and lay on top of the car to contemplate the moon and the stars.

She sat up and said, « May I ask you something ? »
« Yes, anything. », he replied.
« Why did you bring me here ? I am not an expert but according to the movies and books you don't bring any random person to watch the stars and the moon then why me ? », she asked.
He sat up and looked at her, « You are not any random person. You are very special to me, Sai. »

His words made her heart flutter. Being special in his eyes gave her a weirdly beautiful kind of feeling.

While sharing an eyelock with her he added, « I have a lot of things to share with you. »
« Then share them. I am listening to you. », she said.
« Not today. I don't know how to say it. Where to start it. I don't even know if you will understand me but I will tell you everything soon. », he said.
« Why won't I understand ? », she asked.
« With you there is no bharosa. », he teased her.

She sulked. He laughed. Then they lay back to continue to enjoy the beautiful view.
They reached home just a little before midnight and found the entire family waiting for them.

« It's time that everyone gets back to the old rules. », Bhavani said. « No one leaves the house after seven o'clock unless it's urgent and I want everyone to report to me where they are going. », she added.
« If there is someone I have to report to then it is Aayi. And she knows where I go and with whom. I don't think I have to inform anyone. I am taking my wife out not any stranger. », Virat made it clear.
« Godu shaant. Please, now that they are back we can go to sleep. », Ashwini intervened.
« There are certain rules that... », Bhavani wanted to set the rules.
« Time to change the rules specially the rules made by you. », Virat interrupted.
« Virat, how dare you talk to your kaku like this ? », Ninad asked.
« People doing wrong shouldn't talk about following the rules. Time to live and let live. », Virat replied.
« Wow, what a lucky woman you are Sai. You have successfully turned Virat into a joru ka ghulam. He is ready to fight with his own family for his queen's desires and wishes. », Pakhi applauded sarcastically.
« First of all Pakhi didi, thanks for considering me the queen. And secondly, Virat Sir is a smart man and a talented IPS officer, he doesn't get influenced by anyone. », Sai retorted. « Am I right, kaku ? Will you allow the pride of the house to get disrespected. », she asked to Bhavani.
Proud of his wife, Virat said, « Pakhi an useful advice. Your expiry date is nearing in this house so maybe you should start praticising to keep yourself away from the family matters. »
« Chup sab chup. It's quite late. We can have this conversation tomorrow. », Ashwini stopped the arguments.
« See I am the only daughter-in-law who doesn't fight yet I get bashed the most. », Karishma murmured.

Heard by everyone, they all stared at her. 

Mohit paced up and down in his room while Karishma was sleeping. There were a few things that he needed to bring the change. He didn't want to face the injustice anymore.
The next day, Mohit asked Karishma to get ready. She reminded him that they weren't privileged like Virat and Sai nor like Samrat and Pakhi. Going outside without taking permission from Bhavani will be the end for them. He told her not to think too much about it. He took her to a restaurant and let her choose anything she wanted. She got scared seeing this change in him. Was he trying to announce a bad news by treating her nicely ? Was he going to follow his elder brother's footstep and divorce her too because he was unhappy with her ?

« We need to talk ? », he started.
« Are you divorcing me too like your brother ? », she asked in panick.
« What ? No. Listen, we got married because we were in love right ? Then why do I feel that you don't love me anymore ? », he asked.
« Maybe because your entire family is against love. », she replied mockingly.
« I know my family has never been nice to you and I am sorry for that. They have wronged me too because of my lack of competence. », he said.
« I agree. », she said.
« I expected you to support me instead of demeaning me but I guess I am used to it now. Even my own parents don't miss a chance to insult me. I was hurt and kept distancing myself from you but I thought a lot about it. », he said.
« Are you going to leave me ? », she asked worried.
« I don't know if I failed to understand you and you are actually a selfish and greedy person or you have become one because of the situation. I am yet to understand what's the problem between us. If I put some efforts to make your life a little better will you do the same to be the girl I fell in love with ? », he asked.
« I didn't get you. », she said.
« I will treat you better and will try to take a stand for you and in return I want you to treat everyone equally and improve your relationships with the people who are close to me. I want you to be my support system not put me down for each and everything I do. », he explained.
