Friends, below is step 4 of my "Bholu(Dev) Istyle Courtship" theme. There are 12 steps. I don't think I would be able to post them by the end of this week as it is taking a long time to make one step. But will try my best to finish it within a week. Hopefully, the forum doesn't close rightaway.
Anyway, here is the backstory of how all this happened and why Dev is writing this 12-step manual.
Note: I am using Misti's names for characters in this spoof. So Dev is either called Bholenath or Bholu (short form of Bholenath) and Radhika is either called Phuljhari or Phullu (short form of Phuljhari). So far, I am calling Rohan as psycho half-bhai throughout the first 4 steps. But Misti had named him Bhasmasur or Bhasu for short. I may be using that name in remaining 8 steps.
Basically, Dev and Rohan's relationship is also like Shivji (Bholenath) and Bhasmasur (demon) where Shiv is the one who gave powers to Bhasmasur. Instead of using them for good cause, Bhasmasur used them to try to destroy Shivji. So here Bholu had done the same. He didn't realize that Rohan was not worthy. He gave him everything and Bhasu (Rohan) tried to take everything from Bholu (Dev) and tried to destroy him.
Background of how the idea for the manual came to Bholu Raj Purohit
Senior RB and family were missing Radhika and so decided to visit her. Also after going to Mumbai, senior RB started reflecting on things and decided that Radhika's in-laws were very selfish and take advantage of her good nature. He especially didn't like Padma/Dai after he found out their behavior towards Radhika. Also even though he had accepted Dev as Radhika's husband, he still had doubts about him. After Dev's nice treatment of Ruby, RB decided that Dev has a potential to be a good husband and needs his guidance. Since RB and Dev just tolerate each other for Radhika's sake, he decided to be discreet about the whole thing.
So he decided to revive his resort project in Mathura by buying another land close to Muth property. Since Ruby is now managing his empire in Mumbai and is busy with her Kanha work, he decided to go to Mathura and asked Radhika to be his partner in his venture as she was the 50% owner of Bhardwaj empire. Now since senior RB is not after Muth property, Radhika readily agreed as she decided that it would get them new tourists and who could also be solicited for getting more donations for RP trust.
So RB moved to Mathura and is now living in PB with Sonia. Jolly and Ruby visit the house from time to time as it is their sister's house. So none of PF members can object as Radhika is the owner of RP trust and also because Padma/Dai are highly impressed with Bharadwaj family because of their status. Now Madhavi has gone for good and Rohan after getting his beatings is now staying at PB due to Padma once again emotionally blackmailing Dev and Radhika. But Dev is really angry with Rohan and has now made him a peon at Muth even though Padma objected to that too.
Anyway, initially Dev was not thrilled about RB staying with them for such a long time especially as RB had a tendency to monopolize Radhika's time especially when Dev was at home. In fact, Dev was suspicious that RB was doing it intentionally. But over time, Dev is getting pleased about RB's visit because Sonia and Maheswari have become fake friends who really hate each other. But they think that joining together they can bring down Radhika. So both are going to same parties with both making jabs at each other constantly. That has freed up Virat who is now spending more time with Mohini and is also busy plotting against Dev. But Dev has smartened up and is aware of Virat's games. Hence Virat is still unsuccessful in his plans.
But Dev is happy with RB especially because Padma/Dai are now just paying attention to RB and doing many things to please him. So he has mellowed so much that he has no problems with RB's social drinking. Also he has allowed a kitchen to be made in the outhouse where non-veg food can be served once in a while. In any case, Dev is more accepting of different value system than Radhika who is trying her best to "reform" her father/brother/sister. In fact, Phullu is the only one whom he imposes his own values but that is his way of showing Phullu that he loves her intensely and only considers her (and their kids) as his true family.
Now Radhika's latest action in her "Reform Pitaji" project is to make sure that RB stops drinking. So she decided to enroll him in "AA" program (Alcohol Anonymous) to get him away from his "addiction". Now RB is no alcoholic but he decided to enroll to please Radhika. But instead he is going to Muth to straighten up Mutthadeesh whom he has made his fake buddy.
Jolly also has convinced Padma/Dai to add a new ingredients to Radhika's recipe of ladoos and that is Rum. So now Padma/Dai are making rum ladoos for Jolly and RB without Radhika's knowledge. Both themselves are addicted to these ladoos as Padma is eating them to get over her grief of seeing Rohan as peon and also because even the second wife of Rohan turned out to be his fake wife. Dai is eating laddoos because she is feeling insecure about Radhika taking Dev from her especially now that Radhika is having a baby. So anyway, RB instead of going to "AA" meetings is going to Muth and sharing those ladoos with Mahant who is now RB's best buddy. As a result, RB is getting all insider information from these three - Padma, Dai and Mahant.
Dev is happy because now Padma/Dai are not calling him their Kanha. Also Mahant has stopped bugging him and he is now bringing up more progressive Mahants to managment position. Also since Padma/Dai have left him alone, he is getting a lot of free time with Radhika. He has also started searching for Chaya. RB is helping him in this search because he wants Radhika to have a nice real MIL instead of two fake MILs. Also he was outraged at Dada's behavior and wants Chaya to have justice. Radhika/Ruby are investigating about Savitri's death as well as helping Dev/RB in finding Chaya.
Now RB and Radhika have one similar quality. Both think they know what is good for the other. So RB actually wants to make Bholu worthy of Radhika. He feels that Bholu hasn't shown true remorse for treating his princess Phullu in that atrocious way. So he is keeping Padma/Dai away from Bholu to take away their destructive influence. As a result, Dev is now getting enlightened about Padma/Dai as well as have started thinking that even though Dada loved him, he was quite manipulative and adharmi person. So he is learning to separate feelings from rational thinking. Senior RB on the other hand is having fun in this PB as he is able to have his resort project, reform Dev as well as can spend time with Radhika. In fact, he and Bholu keep on clashing in Radhika's absence. They still insult each other when Radhika is not present but act quite friendly when Radhika is there.
Both get upset with each other (Bholu and senior RB) when Radhika makes a favorite food for the other person. Senior RB starts reminding Radhika that she is like Savitri and hence he is relying on her because she is his wisest daughter. Bholu starts throwing tantrums and stops talking to Phullu when he thinks she is giving preferential treatment to senior RB. So Radhika has started making two favorite dishes per day - one for Bholu and one for senior RB. The rest of the cooking is now being done by Padma and Dai. Then Bholu and senior RB are fighting for Radhika to sit next to them at the dining table. So now Phullu has compromised where she is at the head of the table with senior RB sitting on her left and Bholu sitting on her right. The only exception is that she only serves Bholu and nobody else to show Bholu that he is the most special person for her. Dai/Padma serves the rest of the table including Phullu. In fact, both fight over who is going to serve senior RB as both are running after him now.
But Radhika is having some other issues. She is now concerned about her father. So she decides to quiz him as she is suspicious that he is not going to AA. RB who is quite smart read about "AA" program and could tell her details after reading about it online. So he told her that there are 12 steps that one has to follow in "AA" program before one becomes free of their addiction.
So Bholu (Dev) who was listening to all this was impressed with this program. He started thinking that one should also write a manual (12-step process) on how to win one's soul mate. Then he decided that he is the expert in this field as he got the most beautiful and special girl (Phullu or Radhika) in the world. He was thinking about it when he fell asleep. Kanha appeared in his dream and that's how the whole thing started.
