At night in Tiwari Killa , dining table
Nanu, preeti and suman having their dinner, there is complete silence only sound of spoons and bowls while serving food
"To es ladke ko bhi mana kar diya?" finally nanu break silence suman opened her mouth to explain but he raise his hand indicating not intrested and continued "Mein kisi explaination me intrested nahi hu bas reason bata de"
"Nanu wo wo meine usaka FB status padha tha usame likha tha k MEDICINES AND GIRLSFRIENS COMES WITH AN EXPIRY DATE jisaki soch aisi ho usake sath mein adjust nahi kar sakati and in first meeting only he was trying to give me suggestions which i didn't like at all" said sumo and get up to leave as she finishes her dinner
Nanu and Preeti just gave "Esaka kuchh nahi ho sakta" look to each other and continued with dinner.
After dinner nanu was thinking how to get way from this situation then he remembered Devender Khosla (Suman's Boss). Khosala is such a nice person he always cared and respect suman so much because as per him she is the most hardworking and talented employee in his office. Many times he shown his concern about suman's attitude towards boys to nanu, he also wanted suman to settle down in her life with nice guy but never dared to touch this topic directly infront of suman. Nanu dialed his number and waited for response
Nanu - "Hello Devenderji mein Raghuvir Tiwari bol raha hu"
GHos - "Are namaste tiwariji kaise hai aap?"
Nanu - "Bhagwan ki daya se sab kushal mangal hai"
Ghos - "Aaj achanakse es nachiz ko kaise yaad kar liya?"
Nanu - "Are aap to sabse kaam ki chich ho...hahaha"
Ghos - "Haha...aap bhi na tiwariji badehi majakiya kism ke insan ho...banda hajir hai aapke sewame boliye kaise yaad kiya?"
Nanu - "Actually muze suman ki bahot chinta hoti hai aaj bhi reject karke aayi ladke ko kaise samzau es ladki ko muze kuchh samaz me nahi aa raha hai" said sadly
GHos - "Haan tiwariji muze bhi usaki chinta hoti hai meine aapse baat bhi ki thi na es baare me"
Nanu - "Haan esiliye meine aapko phone kiya aapko kuchh rasta suz raha hai kya?"
After thinking for sometime
Ghos - "Tiwariji ek kaam kariye aap suman ki kundali aur ek achhasa photo muze dijiye hum logo ke ek panditji hai trivediji wo bahot achhe hai matchmaking me mein unako deta hu dekhate hai muze lag raha hai es baar jarur baat ban jayegi"
Nanu - "Agar aisa hua na ghoslaji to mein aapko specially desi ghee ke laddoo khilaunga bas meri suman ka ghar bas jaye mein kal hi aata hu aapke office me" said happily
Ghos - "Ji bilkul neki aur puch puch to kal milate hai aap muze ek bar call kardijiyega aane se pahale mein suman ko kisi kam se bahar bhej dunga nahito aapko pata hai usaka ghussa"
Nanu - "haha...Ji bilkul kal milta hu aapse abhi ijajat dijiye rakhata hu" and hang up
-----------------------------------------------------------
Next morning Malhotra house
Everyone was little upset from yesterdays fiasco shravan wanted to start some casual conversation but none responded him rather they highly disregarded him, he got more irked and left for office without having his breakfast.
In office, he called rakesh in his cabin "Rakeshji suniye ye kuchh case papers hai envelope me aap ese personally jake london ke office me courier kar dijiye i dont want any mistake okay?" Rakeshji noded and turned to leave
"aur haan wo Ghoslaji ke office jake ye unaki case file hai meine sare evidances note kiye hai ek baar unase discuss kar lijiye once he agree we will file case and please do it today only i don't want any delay"
"Ji sir" again rakesh turned to leave "Achha rakeshjji suno kuchh achhasa nashta mangwa dijiye bahot bhuk lagi hai"said while going through his files this time rakesh noded and just waited for a while,
shravan looked up from his file "Ab yaha statue banke muze dekhane ka irada hai ya kuchh kaam bhi karenge aap?" said annoyingly rakesh hurriedly left his cabin and started his work in full action
------------------------------------------------------------------
In Suman's office
"Ye aapne achha kiya ghoslaji jo suman ko bahar bhej diya nahi to muze yahi kachha chaba jati wo" said nanu with smile "Ye lijiye es envelope me suman ka photo aur kundali hai" take out envelope from his bag
"Are wo aapko to kya muze bhi kachha chaba jati bina namak ke kon sherani ko chhedega baba" said ghosala while touching his both ears with right hand and laughed "meine aapki nahi aapni jaan bachayi hai, ye mein trivediji ko de dunga aaj hi meine waise unase baat karli hai phonepe"
"Mein aapka shukriya ada kaise karu samaz me nahi aa raha hai...achha ab mein chalta hu" nanu left cabin
After 5 mins
knock knock..."May i come in sir?" asked rakesh and peep in from ghosla's cabin door "Ya come in"
"Sir mein Malhotra and Associates se aaya hu shravan sir ne bheja hai aapse case ke kuchh evidences discuss karne hai" said rakesh and hurriedly took out file and in this process he dropped envelope which shravan gave him and settled down on chair next to ghosla
"Arre haan wo unhone muze bataya tha dikhaiye hum log discuss kar lete hai this case needs to be filed ASAP...its pending from long time" rakesh handover file to ghosala but fumbled and dropped envelope which nanu kept on ghosla's table, both envelopes lying on floor side by side.
Rakesh got confused and exchanged envelopes, put nanu's envelope in his bag and handover shravan's envelope to Ghosla and said sorry
--------------------------------------------------------------------
Next day evening shravan again called rakesh "Rakeshji aapne wo papers courier kiye jo meine aapko diye the kal?" with anger
"Wo sir mein mein" rakesh stumbled "Kya mein mein kar rahe aap bakri ke tarah?"
"Sir sorry wo late ho gaya tha kal to bhul gaya" said while looking to his feet
"Appko pata hai wo kitna important that ek kaam kariye wo muze dijiye aap logo se ek kaam dhang se nahi hota...ab jaieye jaldi muze jana hai"
Rakesh hurriedly went out and came back with the envelope and hand over to shravan. He took that and left for home
Nirmala, Kamini and Vandy was chatting in the living room when shravan entered,
"Maa ek kaam kariyena please aap kamaljise kahake ye envelope courier kar doge bahot important hai?" shravan said casually while coming to nirmala and hold envolope infront of her she just gave him a stem look and took that envolope "Okay"
shravan headed to his room "aur haan maa please ek coffee bhej dijiye mere room me" he said while walking
"Dekho to kamini kaise order zad rahe hai mahashay aise baat kar rahe hai jaise kuchh hua hi nahi hai kisi ki parwa nahi hai ese itanahi order dene ka shauk hai to biwi kyu nahi le aata... ek din ki fursat nahi hai muze kabse sas banane ka sapna dekh rahi hu lekin lagta hai sapna hi rahega" said irked nirmala looking toward kamini,
she got up in jolt and that envolope dropped from her lap "Ye lo ye aur ek naya kaam deke gaya hai" nirmala bend down to took that envelope but something came out from it so she just emptied that envelope on table curiously and gasped...
Suman's photo and kundali lying on table trio stared it with wide eyes "Didi ladki ka photo aur kundali" said kamini pointing toward photo,
nirmla took photo in hand and nodded, "Lekin ye shravan ke paas kaise?" kamini and nirmala both looked each other and shouted happily
"Didi usane indirectly hum logo ko usaki pasand bata di" said kamini and clapped excitedly
"Haan dekh na kamini kitani sundar hai ese dekh ke muze lag raha hai ke yahi mere shravan ke liye bani hai...pagal kahika etana drama karne ki kya jaroorat thi sidhe sidhe bol deta ke use ye ladki pasand hai hum log mana thodi na karte? bichare ko kitna kuchh bola meine kal se thik se baat bhi nahi ki meine usase" said nirmala with happy tears
"Are didi dekhiye kuchh details hai kya?" asked kamini feverishly "haan" nirmala said while checking details "Suman naam hai kitna achha naam hai kamini...are es photo ke piche number bhi hai...mein ek kaam karti hu maaji ko batati hu wo baat kar lengi wo"
"Haan mummyji ab to mein bahot sari shopping karu..." suddenly vandy stopped in between and pointed toward shravan coming downstairs nirmala come near shravan and kissed his forehead
"sorry beta apani maa ko maaf kar do" and hugged him happily "Vandy beta jara shravan ko coffee de dena plz mein maaji ke paas jaa rahi hu kuchh kaam hai" said nirmala happily and signalled kamini to join her
Both went towards sumitra's room and vandy left for kichen with wide smile leaving shravan flabbergasted
------------------------------------
"Maaji dekhiyena kitani sundar ladki hai" siad nirmala while passing suman's photo to sumitra
"Haan nirmala akhir pasand kisaki hai mere shravan ki sare hiro me se sabse chamakdar hira hi pasand kiya hai usane" said sumitra happily while scrutinizing suman's photo
"Maaji esake piche number bhi hai shayad ghar ka hai aap call karke baat karoge kya?" said kamini excitedly
"Nirmala lagato call aur baat kar shravan ka man badalne ke pahale hum logo ko baat karni hogi" ordered sumitra
Nirmala dialed number and waited for response "ring jaa rahi hai...utha liya" nirmala put phone on speaker
"Hello namaste mein Mrs nirmala Malhotra bol rahi hu" said nirmala over excitedly
"JI Namaste mein Raghuvir tawari bol raha hu kahiye?" nanu responded from other side
"Ji actually hume na aapki beti ka photo mila hai... hum log apane bete ki shadi ke liye ladki dekh rahe hai"
"Achha...kahin trivediji ne to nahi diya aapko" nirmala gave confused look to sumitra, sumitra signaled her to say yes
"Ji haan haan unhonehi diya hai...actually mera beta Shravan usake liye hum log ladki dekh rahe hai aur hume aapki beti suman bahot achhi lagi"
"Ji achhi baat hai...waise suman meri natin hai wo kya hai na darsal usake maa papa ki bachpan mehi car accident me death ho gayi thi tabse use meinehi sambhala hai, waise aapka beta karta kya hai?"
Nirmala, kamini and sumitra get sad on hearing this "Oh sorry tiwariji...mera beta lawyer hai mere pati bhi lawyer hai Ramnath malhotra"
"Kahi aap wo Malhotra & Assc wale ramnath malhotra ki to baat nahi kar rahe hai?"
"Ji haan haan wahi aap janate hai unako?"
"Haan actually mein bhi lawyer tha to esiliye jaan pahchan hai"
"Mera beta shravan usane Oxford se apana law complete kiya hai london me usaki ek firm bhi hai aur ab india me practice kar raha hai"
"Ji bahot achha baki baatein hum log milke kare...to kab mile?"
"Hum log to kabhi bhi milne ke liye taiyyar hai aap bataieye?"

"Ji humara shravan bhi hum logo ki baat manta hai aap bataiye suman se baat karke...ji thik hai rakhati hu Namaste" nirmala hang up happily
-----------------------------------------------------
In night tiwari killa
Suman served dinner to nanu and sit beside on chair and started her dinner...
"Suman beta meri ek akhari baat manegi please esake baad pakka vada kabhi tuze kuchh nahi mangunga" asked nanu while taking bite of his food

"Par nanu ab mein thak chuki hu es sabse muze nahi milna kisise" suman said with sad smile
"Beta ek akhari baar mein vada karta hu esake baad tu jo bolegi wahi hoga...pata nahi kyu lekin muze lag raha hai yehi tere liye sahi ladka hai...

"De mein bahot khush hu muze lagta hai k aapko finally aapka prince charming mil jayega" said preeti while hugging her,she rolled her eyes and hugged her back with fake smile
-----------------------------------------------------------
Shravan working on some case file when Nirmala entered his room with smile and holding something in left hand behind her, she put her right hand on his head tenderly and run fingers through his hair
"Are maa app kab aayi?" he kept his file aside and looked at her with smile
"Abhi aayi beta kitna kaam karte ho...i am sorry beta muze maaf kar do meine tumase kalse thikse baat bhi nahi ki na?" sadly
"Are maa aap please sorry mat boliye" shravan removed her hand from his hairs and take in his hands "waise kya baat hai aaj kisiko bahot pyar aa raha hai apane bete pe?" said teasingly
"Mera beta hai hi aisa sabke baare me etna sochata hai specially apane maake baare me, sidhe nahi kah sakata to indirectly bata diya..huh?"and chuckled
"haan woh hai k sabse jyada i care for you but ek min meine kya bataya indirectly?" said in astonishment
"Muze sab pata chal gaya tu kitna bhi chupane ki koshish kar maa hu sab samaz jaati hu bina tere kuchh kahe" with broad smile
"App kya samaz gayi maa muze kuch samaz me nahi aa raha hai aap kis bare me baat kar rahi hai" gave oblivious look to nirmala
"Are bhai aap to badehi chupe rustam nikale huh...chupke chupke ladki bhi pasand kar li aur apane chote ko bataya bhi nahi?" said overexcited pushkar while entering his room
"Chup kar chote kuchh bhi bolta hai...lagta hai aaj party karke aaya hai" gave him quizzical look
"Wah bhaiyya aap sab karo aur mein party karke aaya hu not fair bhaiyya" pushakar settled dowm on his bed grinningly
"Pushkar mere bete ko pareshan mat kar...ab to ese zindagi bar pareshan hi hona hai" said mischievously "Waise shravan muze suman bahot pasand aayi" nirmala settled beside pushkar, both staring suman's photo with grin
"Haan badi maa muze bhi bahot achhi lagi bhabhi" and winked to shravan who was looking them amazement
"Maa ab ye kya naya scene hai kon hai ye suman aap log kya baat kar rahe ho?"
"Achhaji hum log kya baat kar rahe lo pushkar dekh le apane bhai ko khud ladki pasand ki usaka photo aur details hum logoko di aur ab ye suman kon hai...wah"
"Are badi maa baiyya lagta hai sharma rahe hai kyu bhaiyya?"
Shravan starred him angrily and gave him "shut your mouth" look "Maa aapko lagta hai koi mu hui hai aisa kuchh nahi hai"
"Achha thik hai aisa kuchh nahi to thik hai kal mil lena suman se okay...tab waisa bhi ho gayega" nirmala handed sumans photo to shravan and chuckled and left room with pushkar
Shravan glared suman's photo and thought "ab ye kya nayi problem hai...bhagwan please bachao muze"
"Badi maa mein aapko ek baat bolu please jara dhyanse suniye" said pushkar grimly
"aap aur bade papa please bhaiyya ke sath jaiye suman se milne ke liye, i mean i bet ke bhaiyya pakka kisi bhi ladkise 2-3 min se jyada baat nahi karate honge kyuki wo reject karne ka man pahalesehi banake rakhate hai"
He pasued for a momemt "Muze lagta hai aaplog rahenge to atleast thoda baat to karenge ladkise aur staight forward mana nahi karenge"
Nirmala sighed "Hmm...pushkar muze lagta hai you are correct mein abhi tere bade papase baat karati hu...thank you beta" and left to her bedroom
"Suniye muze aapse bahot imp baat karani hai, please apani file band kariye" ordered nirmala crossing hands to her chest
Ramnath taken aback and without any argument he closed his file and concentrated on nirmala "Haan bolo kya baat hai?"
"Muze lagta hai hum logo ko kal shravan ke sath jana chahiye suman se milne ke liye"
"Lekin aise kaise nirmala hum log bachhoke sath jaa sakate hai wo log hum logo ke samne baat bhi nahi kar payenge thik se"
"ARe suniye to puri baat aap tiwarijiko call karke unhe bhi aaneke liye boliye hum log alag table pe baithenge"
"Aur usae kya hoga?"
"Usase ye hoga ke atleast hum logo hai waha yeh dekhakar to shravan suman se thodi der baat karega nahito 2 min me koi stupid sa reason deke reject karke aa jayega" said nirmala with lil annoyance
After thinking for somethime "Hmm shayad tum thik kah rahi ho aur agar shravan aane ke liye mana karega to bol dunga ki mein tiwariji ko janta hu aur wo bhi aa rahe hai to wo mana bhi nahi kar payega" said with confidence
"Thik hai aap abhi baat kar lijiye tiwariji se thik hai"
Ramnath called nanu and explain him all the plan nanu also agrees promptly because he also very well aware of suman intentions.
