Hi everyone, so sorry I couldn't reply to your comments. I read them all though, just didn't wanted to reply in a hurry and then got really busy. I promise I'll reply to them soon. Also I added another stanza to the title track. Hope you guys like it. Dips sending some guests your way. Welcome them. :)😆
Click...Suman turned around to see Shravan looking at her intently leaning on the door with folded arms. She flung herself on him.
"I'm so sorry Shravan". I didn't mean to push you away.
Shhh...
He put his finger on her lips and wiped her tears.
"I'm sorry too Sumo to react this way, I know this is new to us and what you did was a natural reaction. Sorry I spoiled the photoshoot. I messed it up by being grumpy".
You are not mad at me anymore??
"I was but as I saw you disheartened when you didn't find me, I felt bad".
I thought you left.
He swiftly put his arms around her waist, pulled her closer and whispered
"I'm not leaving without you. Never".
Thank You Shravan. She mumbled in his chest.
Let's go outside, everyone must be waiting.
You can change if you want.
It's OK I'll change after we get back home.
Aap ki flight kab hai Nanaji??
"Parso Subah 4:10 AM ko hai, to kal raat me hi nikalna hoga".
"Main aap sabko Airport chod deta hoon".
No Beta we hired a taxi already, you don't worry.
"No Nanu I'm coming to drop you off said Suman with Preeti agreeing with her".
Keep some warm clothes Nanaji Tennessee is pretty cold place.
"Hum ne sab sab ke liye garam kapde rakh liya hai Beta said Mamaji".
Tumhe der to nahi ho rahi na Beta, tum dost ke paas jane wale the na??
Koi baat nahi Nanaji, main phir mil loonga.
They all have dinner together. Preeti and Suman also help Mamiji and Maasi with packing.
OK Nanaji, we'll leave now, see you tomorrow.
Di I'm coming with you guys Pushkar is busy. You are going straight to home right or a friends house?? she winked, making her smile at Shravan's antics.
Home. Let's go.
They reach Malhotra House and find everyone having dinner.
"Arre bachon aa jao sab saath me khana khate hai".
Hum log kha ke aaye hai Lalaji
"To kya hua bhai, bas baith jao hamare saath kuch meetha hi kha lo".
They sat down and Shravan found his Dad and Pushkar stressed out.
You look very tired Pushkar, need any help?
"No" replied Ramnath and Pushkar together making Shravan suspicious.
I mean I'll let you know if I need your help Bhaiya.
Kamini knew Pushkar is trying to hide something from Shravan, she was feeling guilty that Shravan is leaving because of her and even when he needs his brother Pushkar will not ask him for help.
Is your flight confirmed?? asked Ramnath
"Not yet Papa, because I want to meet Maa before leaving, it will be confirmed by tomorrow".
When is Tiwariji leaving??
Tomorrow night
"OK I'll go meet him in the morning"
Just then Ramnath's phone rings from an unknown number
"Kaise ho Ramnath" said voice from the other side
Who's this?
"I'm the one who's giving you sleepless nights. I heard that your whole Firm is trying hard to fight me". Oberoi!! Mukesh Oberoi
Ramnath headed to his room leaving everyone confused but Pushkar had an idea who it could be, just by look at his face.
Why did you call??
To give you an offer
Offer? Where is Berry??
He is doing great, you don't worry about him.
I want to talk to Berry.
"Why bother him, he's resting right now. Let's get to the point right now. You know how busy I am and Bhaisaab is here too".
"Hello Ramnath" said another strong, stern and bold voice
I want to talk to Berry, where is he and his family?
"Ramnath Ramnath!!!! I thought you were a smart lawyer" said the other voice
Suno tum!!
Hey Stop!!! Said Mukesh "No one talk to Bhaisaab like that"
"It's OK Mukesh he doesn't know anything about me, that's the reason he dared"
I know everything about you Mr. Mahesh Oberoi!! everything said Ramnath
"No Ramnath I don't think you do, if you have known about me even 10% you wouldn't have dared to do what you have done. You have no idea how powerful I am for your little Law Firm".
Then what does such a powerful man need from a small Lawyer like me??
"You know what I want"
No I don't, you tell me
"Stop acting when Bhaisaab is talking"
I'm not acting I'm asking
I'll go and check Papa.
Bhaiya!!
"I need your help", think Pushkar come up with something, he thought to himself
Bhaiya it's just that Preeti is upset with me for postponing our Honeymoon. Give me an idea to convince her to extend it for next month.
Why did you postpone it in the first place?? What's going on??
Bhaiya I told you about the case, it involves Berry and Sir want me to lead that case. Don't worry Bhaiya after this case I'll be the one who's gonna rush to Switzerland.
"I'm sure about that!!! Said Shravan. Just don't worry Preeti will not be upset if you just take it easy and explain her everything".
"You are asking too many questions Ramnath. I don't answer to anyone. Everyone answer me".
I want to talk to Berry
Don't you understand Ramnath!!! Screamed Mukesh, you cannot talk to Berry
Mukesh Mukesh!! "Just calm down, Ramnath wants to talk to Berry, we should not stop him, afterall he is his Lawyer and best friend. So Ramnath you give us the papers and take the case back, I'll let you talk to Berry".
Which Papers???
"Com'on Ramnath don't sound nonsensical, why do you think I'm calling you. I NEED those PAPERS".
Pushkar couldn't stop Shravan for long so he just followed him.
Papa is everything OK? Whose call was that??
Ramnath just put the phone on hold and turned to Shravan
Yes Beta it's something related to Berry. I'm fine! You don't worry
Is it Berry on the line?? Let me say Hi to him, he said stretching his arm to take the phone.
No it's not Berry, it's someone related to his case. I'll talk to you tomorrow son. I need to get back on the line. Good Night.
Good Night Papa.
Pushkar closed the door on the way back.
Ramnath went back to call.
Hello are you there?? he questioned
"NO ONE HAVE EVER PUT US ON HOLD. HOW DARE YOU". Screamed Mukesh.
"It's OK Mukesh, Ramnath doesn't know about us. It was a mistake. Let's forgive his first mistake. So Ramnath you give me the Papers and I'll make sure you talk to Berry.
I'll will not call again, my PA will call you about the time and place when you can handover the Papers. Don't act too smart. It will be your loss". Remember WHO WE ARE!!!
Ramnath hangs up and sits on his bed with a thump. What Papers are they talking about?? Where is Berry??
Suman Puttar don't forget to wake up early for your First Rasoi and Puja tomorrow, said Kamini as she saw her going upstairs.
Ji Chachiji.
As she reached to her room, she saw Shravan sitting on the couch deep in thoughts.
Shravan what are you thinking about??
About the case which Papa and Pushkar are dealing. Something's not connecting.
Did Preeti say anything??
No, just that they have postponed their Honeymoon for a month.
How will you find out?
I know how to find out. But we'll talk about it later and he just pulls her making her sit on his legs. He snuggles close to her.
Hmmm..You smell so good
Shravan let's sleep now I'm too tired, have to wake up early tomorrow. Can I change now?
OK let's go
Go where?
To change
What??
You wanted it so I'll listen
Listen to what??
Changing you.
I don't need help!!
But I want to help. Look you are so tired and sleepy and it's my duty to help you, so let's go I'll help you.
Shravan!!!
Sumo!!!
OK let's go says Sumo with a mischievous glint in her eyes
He let's go her hand and stands up but she pushes him back o the couch and runs away to the bathroom. Shravan just smiles running fingers in his hair. After the shower she came out in her long blue nightgown feeling victorious, but couldn't find Shravan in the room.
Now where did he go??
Looking for me?? he said from behind and swiftly picked her up bridal style whispering I was waiting for you!!
Shravan!! She gasped
Shhh... I'm not gonna let you win this time.
Tic!Tic! Tic!Tic!Tic!!Tic!Tic! Tic!!
Suman woke up at the alarm turned off but couldn't move as Shravan was holding her tight and his leg was on her making it difficult for her to move.
Sumo alarm band karo!!!
She stretched out her hand to stop the alarm.
"Shravan I need to get ready and go downstairs, remember it's my first Rasoi".
Few more minutes Sumo
I'll be late Shravan, let me go. You get ready and come down later.
Hmmm...
Shravan!!!
OK I'll let you go, on one condition...
Suman prepares big breakfast for everyone as Preeti gives her company.
She texts Shravan.
Are you awake??
Beep: Almost
Get ready and come down. We have to do Puja before breakfast
Beep: Sumo! Do I have to do Puja
Yes!! It's our first Puja after the wedding. Get ready quickly I made your favorite dessert for breakfast.
Beep: Double treat!!!I thought I already got one before breakfast
Shravan!!!
Beep: OK sorry be right there. Love you.
Bye :)
Suman get's the Puja thaali ready and wait for everyone to join.
Suman puttar sab tayyariyan ho gayi??
Ji Chachiji.
"Chalo bhai jaldi se Puja khatam karte hai taaki itni achi khusboo wala khana kha sake".
Ramnath, Varun, Vandy and Pushkar join them.
Where's Shravan?? asked Ramnath
He's coming replies Suman
"Kya bhaiya kab tak intezaar karaoge, jaldi Puja karo na", said Pushkar as Shravan was coming down.
He was wearing a black Pathani which Suman had kept ready for him. Shravan came to stand next to Suman and sighed. How much he wanted to see her like this. She was wearing an elegant maroon georgette saree with black and golden border. The border had some tiny hangings which looked beautiful as she put the pallu on her head. He was more than mesmerized, he was enchanted by her just being with him, in his house, owning it more than him, with his family making them as hers more than his. She tilted her head upwards as if questioning what's wrong. He just nodded in negative.
(A/N: Please read this in the tune of the EDKV title track)
Khushiyon se jo tumne bhari
Hai meri yeh zindagi
Na koi hai Aarzoo
Ab na koi Tishnagi
Duniya badal di hai meri ek apne izhaar se
Mil hi gaye dil jo bane Ek Duje Ke Vaaste...
Sumo almost finishes the Puja with Shravan still in his thoughts. He comes out of his trace with Pushkar calling Bhaiya!
"Bhaiya jaldi se Aarti khatam karo aur sabka aashirwaad lo, bhook lagi hai".
Shravan then holds the other side of the thaali and does Aarti with her. She then turns to him points to the thaali with her eyes.
What!!
Shravan Suman ki maang bharo said Vandy.
He takes a pinch of sindoor to fill her hairline making her eyes welled up in happiness. She then gives Prasad to everyone and take blessings.
Where is Pushkar??
Di Pushkar must be at the Dining table by now.
Everyone is just surprised on how she made so many dishes for breakfast. Chole Bhature, Sev Ki Sabzi, Special Daal, Roti, Pasta, Bhendi and Moong Daal Ka Halwa said Lalaji happily. Shravan was just in awe of her. Everyone including Ramnath, Lalaji, Kamini, praised her food and gave her Nek.
Suman called Varun, aaj main bhi Nek doonga. Khana sach me bahut acha bana hai aur main Bada hoon na.
Yes Varun you are right agreed Vandy.
"Hey Sumo, tere London jane ke baad hum to taras jayenge aise khane ko"
Shravan and Sumo were quiet and Kamini again felt guilty of her actions.
"Tu darr mat main Preeti ko video chat pe recipes sikha doongi", said Suman making everyone smile.
Just then Ramnath's phone starts ringing AGAIN...
