Around three in the morning everyone went inside their rooms. Armaan without changing clashed on his bed "at least change" Riddhima told him.
Armaan yaws...
Geet sighs..
Maan quickly changed and looked at Geet...
Geet: Oh teri! You sleep on the bed. I'll sleep on the ground.
Maan: Why?
Geet: Um!
Maan: I know what's the status of our relationship, but I don't mind sharing a bed. Since you are my wife now.
Geet nods her head...
Tani stood on the roof...
sighs...
"Finally" "So you were waiting for me?" Prithvi asked.
Tani: What else have I done? Only wait for you.
Prithvi: Tan
Tani: What Tani?
Prithvi: Ek baar
Tani: Nope..
Prithvi: Please...
Tani turn to leave...
Prithvi held her wrist "just once" Tani looked at him with moist eyes.
Prithvi: Tani.. woh
Tani covered his lip with her finger "ssh.. let our silences talk " only want to feel each moment of togetherness. Prithvi hugged her tightly.
Both settle down on the swing together watching reminding night fall.
Maan woke up, saw Geet dressed in deep green pure silk sari with blouse (that is red). He couldn't remove his eyes of her. She looked breathe taking away.
Geet: What are you looking at?
Maan sighs..
Geet: What?
Maan: Nothing... wondering where you get these type of combination?
Geet: Kyun? Don't I look nice?
Maan: On normal people it would look nice, but not on monkeys.
Geet: Okay
Maan get up to leave..
Geet: Ek minute...
Maan: Kya
Geet: What did you say?
Maan: Thank god! You ain't my secretory anymore..
Geet: Why?
Maan: Just realized now... how slow your mind work..
Geet run after Maan...
Maan running to save himself from Geet. Both end up falling on the ground together.
Geet entire face covered with her hair..
Maan tucked her hair behind her ear...
Both looking at each other... Maan slowly leaning forward "Geet" voice shouted.
Both of them jump apart...
Geet ran away leaving Maan confuse about his action.
Geet: Did you shout? Armaan
Armaan: Yes..
Geet: Why?
Armaan: Just wanted to confirm that you'll guys coming today with us.
Geet: Yes.. Prithvi's exam starting and plus important deal for Khurana construction. We both need to prepare for it. Book us direct flight from Mumbai to Delhi.
Armaan: Okay.
Tani twist away from sunlight in Prithvi's arms. (Entire morning they slept together on the roof) Prithvi smiles. (Yep, Prithvi woke up earlier for a change or you could say he hardly slept).
Tani finally lift her head up "good morning" Prithvi said.
Tani looked puzzle for awhile than remembered last night event. Her frown switched into smile "good morning" Prithvi invited her in his arms.
Tani hides herself in his arms before breaking away "got to go before anyone finds out that I wasn't in my room otherwise huge storm"
Prithvi just smiled "ab daar kyun" Tani stood up "jab tumhara Bigde Rahees hai" Tani saw smirk on Prithvi's face started walking backwards "aur phir" she provoke him.
Prithvi stoop up "do you want me to show you a demo?" "if you are man enough" Tani ran away "cause I doubt if you are straight"
Prithvi just smirked than ran after her.
Tani ran down the stairs "what did you say?" Prithvi shouted behind her.
Tani: Nothing
Continued running.. now inside the kitchen.. hide behind her Baa "kya karra ho?"
Prithvi: Iss jangli Billi se pucho..
Tani: Baa maine kuch nahin kiya. Iss Bigde Rahees se pucho.
Before Baa couldn't understand anything they ran again upstairs.. now they are inside Maan's room. Maan who just got up from the floor was pushed again on the floor.
Maan glared.. unknowingly at Prithvi than Tani...
"What's going on?" Maan shouted
Tani stopped.
Prithvi stopped.
Together they started explaining..
Maan: One at time
Tani explained but Prithvi interfered "Dad woh"
Tani stood frozen.
Prithvi: Dad don't worry its our old-time teasing game. You relax but what were you doing on the floor? Are you hurt? Do you want me to call Armaan Mamu or any docs available?
Maan: Nothing.
Tani silently walk out..
Prithvi excused himself behind Tani...
Everyone gather around dinning table.
Tani avoid looking at Maan or Prithvi..while serving everyone.
Amit: Tani, are you sure?
Prithvi: About what?
Amit looked at Prithvi than smiles..
Sapna: If Tani is leaving today or staying another few weeks with us?
Prithvi: What's the reason of arguing? Of course Jangli Billi is coming with us.
Tani shot glance at Prithvi.
Vicky looked stun..
Amit: Par
Prithvi: Par Var nothing! Chachu. You know that Tani's exams are coming and she needs to study too. I've already talked with her professors and they said.. it would be great opportunity if Tani do well in her exams. Also its her final term year.
Everyone on the table looked surprise..
Geet plus Amit: How do you know?

Geet: Prithvi
Prithvi: Sorry Mom.. How could I forget? Oye Jangli Billi
Tani: Ab Kya?

Prithvi: We can argue later! And yes its your job. Now where can I find them?
Tani: I don't now?
Prithvi: You should
Tani: Oh hello! They aren't my friends, but yours.
Prithvi: Agreed! Chand, Punder, Arjun, and Sanjam are my friends, but they share relationship with you as well?

Sapna mumble something unheard by everyone except for Vicky. Vicky looked hurt by Prithvi's departure.
<><><>
Both of them rushing down the stairs while teasing one another "why don't you take Vicky along?" Smile vanish from Tani's face.
Prithvi notice that "Mom I wouldn't mind but you know Tani wants to visit her friends too. So first we're gonna go mandir than meet her friends and my friends and Vicky Chachu might get lonely with us. Plus I don't have a car only a motor bike."
Vicky: Its okay
Tani: Prithvi its fine!
Prithvi: You sure..
Tani: We'll walk
Prithvi: Alright than Vicky lets go.
Prithvi leading the way and talking with Vicky by showing him around. Tani looked annoyed. She wanted to spend some time alone with Prithvi par
Prithvi interrupted her thought "what are you thinking" he whispered
Tani: Nothing..
Prithvi knew what's the problem.. Vicky Chachu lets go over there pointed at the field. Vicky nods his head. Prithvi confused him for a second and grabbed Tani's hand.
Tani: What are you doing?
Prithvi: Doing what my dear wifey desire about going mandir together as husband and wife but not fully.
Tani hugged him.
Tani and Prithvi completed their prayers together and sneaked up behind Vicky. Vicky shouted in fear.
Prithvi burst out laughing...
Vicky chase Prithvi around the field...
Tani just smiled after few minutes they clam down. Tani nudge Prithvi "kya" Tani with her eyes reminded him about his friends.
Prithvi walked between Tani and Vicky while they looked for his friends who were with Tani friends at big house. His friends came running to hug him even Tani's friends.
Vicky just stood silent.
Prithvi after some time introduce everyone to Vicky and Vicky to them.
Sanjam whispered in Prithvi's ear..
Prithvi nods his head..
Prithvi walk toward Tani "Tani me and the rest are going for horse ride. Its been while and Vicky will stay with you guys since he's allergic"
Tani: Okay! Come soon
Prithvi nods.
Prithvi leave with his friends...
Maan saw Geet packing their bags "what are you doing?" he asked her. She looked at him confusingly.
Maan takes deep breathe.. walks toward her and take her by the shoulders make her sit on the bed... "I know how mach expectation you have from me... this place is connected with your soul.. I don't mind staying for another three days and see your home town through your eyes" Geet just looked at him... afterwards she hugged without saying anything.
Two minutes they stay hugging one another for while afterwards Maan slowly moved away. Geet looked confused.
Geet: I'm sorry. I just got emotional. But you don't have too.. we can leave tonight since the Prithvi, Vicky and Tani's exam are gonna start soon and plus your meeting that's on halt.
Maan: um.. my meeting are important but not that much than storing those moments for my dear wife... two days won't hurt my business...
Geet just kept on packing and Maan kept on taking out the items..
Five of them.. wandering around the jungle dressed in black vest.. tattoos on their right side arm... baggy dhorti (colour white)... and swords in their left hand...
... looked at one another than smirked at each other.
"I miss this" I told my friends "nothing is compared to our adventure" his friends agrees with him "haan Prithvi"
Prithvi looked around the jungle afterwards him and his friends practices with their swords.
Arjun: How does your time go without us?
Prithvi: Um.. alright. Just its painful hiding your true identity from other.
Sanjam: Woh toh hai. Even without you.. our life is dull
Prithvi: My life was dull before Tani's arrival but now everything is bright.
Prithvi enjoyed his nature experience with his friends afterwards he came back where Tani sat on the rock chatting with her friends and Vicky as well.
Vicky granted his teeth "let's go. Bhabhi called three times now" Prithvi nods his head. Tani walked on left side of Prithvi and Vicky on the other side.
Geet finally agreed about staying two days under Sapna's request.
Maan smiled.
Everyone retire back to Delhi except for Vicky, Prithvi and Tani cause their going back with Maan and Geet. Prithvi laid his head in Sapna's lap and Tani laid her head in Geet's lap.
Prithvi: Oye Jangli Billi
Tani: Kya hai
Prithvi: Let's go out
Prithvi saw Geet's glare...
Prithvi: I mean the temple you wanted to go and break your fast
Geet jumped up "what fast?"
Tani cursed Prithvi under her breathe "woh Ma I mean Masi woh" looked at Prithvi for help.
Prithvi: Mom.. its related regarding our relationship. So can we?
Sapna: Haan beta
Geet: Par
Sapna: Let them go..
Geet nods her head.. knowing something is fishy. Tani or vrat.
Baa suggest that they all should go temple with Prithvi and Tani..
Geet: Baa is right
Prithvi frown "ab kya hoga mera" he thought to himself.
Everyone arrived at the temple.. Tani kept on starring at Prithvi for answers.. Prithvi avoids looking into her eyes.. Geet stood beside Maan while they prayed individually.
Geet's prayer: What's happening? Why am I worried for him after our marriage before it was different. Always ready to strangle each others neck.
Maan's prayer: Why am I not arguing with Geet anymore? Why am I slightly changing for her? Its because of this place and that Armaan guy.
Geet's prayer: Why do I feel storm coming into my life soon? Maybe because of the silent moment of peace I am living at.
Both of them looked at each other before taking blessing from the panditji.
Tani stood between Prithvi and Vicky... Vicky kept on looking at Tani while Tani pray silently inside her mind..
Tani's prayer: Thank you for returning back my childhood love. I can never stop thanking you par why am I afraid of loosing Prithvi deep down inside. Please god protect my suhaag in every sense.
Prithvi's prayer: Please and thank you for giving happiness to my Mom. Even Dad is so nice. Always keep them together and happy in every sense. Also Tani's smile means the world to me. Please make sure her dreams come true and I can always protect her innocence.
Both of them open their eyes and looked at each other. Before taking blessing from the priest separately.. Sapna called Tani...
Tani: Haan Chachi
Sapna: Come here
Tani came towards Geet and her Chachi...
Tani: Did you need anything?
Sapna: Nahiin
Tani: Than
Geet: You remember that tree over there (Tani looked at Geet's direction)?
Tani: Haan! What about it?
Suddenly some moments flash in her mind.. she couldn't stop blushing. Geet and Sapna saw Tani blushing and decide to tease her.
Geet: Kya hua?
Tani: Nothing!
Sapna: Are you sure?
Tani nod her head than excuse herself...
