Anandi rushes to the bedroom. Shiv is uneasy.
S: Oh! Main toh bhool hi gaya tha.. Mujhe Anandi ji ke signatures chahiye the inn papers par... 😳
He waves random papers in front of everyone. They all understand his bluff but don't say anything. He goes upstairs.
J: Anandi, tum baar-baar kahaan chali jaati ho? Mujhe bhook lagi hai..
A: (picks up the plate kept on the side table) Toh ye lijiye naashta...
J: (evil expression) Arre tum khilao na..! Mere haathon mein dard ho raha hai. 😉
Anandi doesn't know what to do. As she stares at the plate in indecision, the green-eyed monster of jealousy is surging through Shiv. He ends up breaking the pen in his hand. 'Get a grip, Shiv, control...!' he says to himself. But the broken pen gives him an idea. As Anandi picks up the plate-
S: Anandi ji! I'm so sorry, main aapko yeh papers dena bhool gaya. Aap please iss par aapke school ki ladkiyon ke naam likh dengi? Woh project plan ke liye chahiye na.. 😉
A: Project plan...?? Kaun-
J: Arre yeh sab baad mein, mujhe bhook lagi hain... 😡
Shiv thrusts the pen and papers in her hand while Jagya looks on in confusion.
S: Woh Project Anandi ji... woh... (then he looks at her hands) Oh no! Aapke haath kitne gande go gaye! 😛
Shiv had purposely opened the barrel of the ink pen so that ink spills on her hands and she can't feed Jagya.
A: Main haath dho kar aati hu... (she looks at Jagya) Main aakar khilati hu..
S: Nahi nahi Anandi ji. Jagdish ko bahut bhook lagi hain na.. Main khilata hu na! 😆
A: A-aap? 😕
J: Iss ki koi zarurat nahi! Anandi ke liye main wait karunga...
S: (with innocence) Arre aap mujhe paraaya samajh rahe hai! (takes the plate from Anandi and winks at her) Aap jaiye... (as she's leaving from besides him, he whispers) late aana... 😉 😳
Now Anandi understands the direction of his thoughts. She's amused and leaves. Shiv begins to feed Jagya! He bores him to no end and Jagya ends up saying-
J: Ab mujhe theek lag raha hai. I'll eat.. Thanks..
S: Great! 👏
Anandi enters and hands the papers n the pen to Shiv. Shiv sees that she's written something on it. It says - Aap mujhe 5 minute mein guestroom mein miliye. Please. Shiv is surprised but gives her a slight nod and leaves. Anandi waits for sometime and then makes an excuse and follows him. Jagya is fuming that nothing is working out! But he doesn't suspect anything.
In the guest room-
S: Kya baat hai Anandi ji?
A: (sighs) Kya aapko mujhpar bharosa nahi hai, Collector Sahab?
S: What? I trust you more than myself!!
A: Toh phir aaj aapne yeh sab kyu- 😕
S: Oh that! (he blushes) Mujhe aap par bharosa hai.. Par mujhe khud pe control nahi! Agar aap Jagdish ko khilati toh main toh unka sar tod deta shayad! (laughs) 🤣
Anandi is confused.
A: Aap aisa kyu keh rahe hai! Aap itne achche hai.. Aap aisa kyu karte...?
S: Jalan (with a cocky grin) Aur kya? 😳
Anandi continues to look on in disbelief. She's thinking- 'Shiv doesn't even have a problem with me acting as Jagya's wife. He doesn't think of me that way! How can he be jealous??'
S: Arre aise kya dekh rahi hai? Aap mujhe dost maanti hongi, but I- (he realises that he's never really said the magic words to her before!) I'm supremely jealous Anandi. Aap mujhse apni Maa ke liye shaadi kar rahi hai. But I'm marrying you because I love you! 😃
A beat of silence. The adrenaline long gone, Shiv now feels awkward.
A: Aap toh meri soch se bhi zyaada achche hai. Aap mujhse pyaar karte hai yeh toh meri khushkismati hai. (she give shim a shy smile) Waise.. Main sirf Maa ke liye aapse shaadi nahi kar rahi hu! Pehle toh main shaadi karna hi nahi chahti thi. Par ab main bhi humari shaadi ki taraf khushi se dekh rahi hu. Main yeh toh nahi keh sakti ki main aapse pyaar karti hu.. Par main aapko bahut-bahut pasand karti hu! I want to marry you! 😊
Shiv is besides himself with joy! He suddenly gives Anandi a hug! They break apart with awkward laughter. 😳
S: Oops.. Sorry!
A: Koi baat nahi.. 😊
They leave the room. As they reach near Jagya's room, Anandi suddenly remembers something.
A: Ek aur baat Collector Sahab..
S: Haan kahiye..
A: Aap toh mujhpar kabhi zor nahi dalenge.. par aap itne achche hai ki aapse pyaar karna mere liye bahut aasaan hoga.. (smiles) Woh kya kehte hai? Falling in love, hai na? Aap jaise pyaar karnewale pati se pyaar karna toh girne jitne aasaan hoga! 😊 ❤️
S: Really? Toh phir main aapko 6 inch ki heels lakar dunga.. Taaki aap jaldi gir jaaye! 😆
Both laugh like crazy people. 🤣
Jagya hears them enjoying so he calls out to Anandi again! AnSh share a moment of exasperation and Shiv turns to leave. But not before he kisses Anandi on the cheek! 🤪 Anandi is left dumbfounded... but she's happy! 😃
Precap: Anandi falls... in heels and love!!!
