~RING RING~
"hello who is it" asks Nani
"Namaste Nani Ji, I'm Anj speaking, how are you Nani ji" speaks Anj
"hum theek hain bitiya, how are you and how is Kushi bitiya" asks Nani
"she is fine Nani, I need to meet you, will you be able to come to the Mandhir" asks Anj
A voice is heard in the background
"Nani whom are you talking to???" queries Anjali
"oh Anjali bitiya it's Anj bitiya who came home the other day remember" replied Nani
"oh okay Nani, please give my regards to her" said Anjali "achcha Nani, Shyam Ji and I will be going out for some time, I have asked HP to prepare the meals for you and he will give you the medicine"
"theek hain Anjali bitiya"
"Bye Nani" said Anjali and left Raizada Mansion along with Shyam.
"hello sorry bitiya, it's just that Anjali bitiya and Damaad Ji were going out" spoke Nani
"this is so great Nani Ji, then we will meet you at home" said Anj and hung up
**********************
"Anj have you told them about their meet with Nani Ji"
"No Vansh, I want it to be a surprise, and what's more exciting about it is, they will be meeting at their own house" spoke Anj with utmost excitement
Vansh hugged Anj, and she was taken aback by Vansh's reaction and her cheeks turned red.
***********************
"kru, get ready girl, jaldi"
"oh gosh Anj, what is it??? Wait wait, now what are you upto??"
"don't ask me questions Kru baby, let me select a dress for you"
Anj took out a lavishing Salwar Kameez, typical Kushi wala style and got Kruti to wear it.
(On the other side)
"Dude, hurry up, we will get late" said Vansh pushing Amar into the washroom
"What the ** what's wrong with you dude, stop poking me like this"
"Amar, can't your realize my excitement, jaldi get ready dude"
"Okay okay, where are we going?? Don't you wanna tell me???"
"Amar okay, you're making me speak out, fine, to celebrate mine and Anj's alliance I'm taking you to a strip club. Cool na"
"Are you out of your bloody head you moron, what if Kru and Anj get to know, I ain't coming no way" Amar pushed Vansh aside
"Oye Mr. Amar Rana, listen up dude, you and I are going to a strip club and it's only you and I who know it, so how on earth will bhabhi Ji get to know if you and I don't tell them about it" grinned Vansh
"you're unbelievable dude, okay give me a couple of minutes to get ready"
*******************************
"kru are you ready"
"coming Anj"
Kruti came out dressed in the Salwar gifted to her by Anj, she was stunned to see Kruti, who looked just like the Kushi she saw in the pictures shown by Nani
"kya Anj, why are you looking at me as if you're falling in love with me"
Anj hugged Kruti, "you look so divine Kru"
Kruti was feeling utter confused at her friends reaction "Chaleii??" said Kruti
~~~~
"Vansh I'm doing this for you, but if Kru gets to know about it I will kill ya"
"cool dude, nothing will happen I promise"
~~~~
"Anj, where are we going to, you did not tell me anything about our sudden venture"
"you will know very soon Kru"
~~~~ "Vansh, erm, why are you driving on a road away from the city? Is this strip club in a place where no one goes to???"
"ha ha ha dude funny, you will know very soon"
***********************************
A gushy wind started blowing heavily at the Raizada Mansion, Nani was feeling strange about the winds. "hey Thakur Ji, what surprise are you planning today" spoke Nani
"HP, please lock all windows, so that the storm that's heading this way will not create any damage to the things inside"
"Ji Nani ji"
"where is Anj bitiya, I hope she comes before these two evil heads turn up" nani spoke to herself
There was a knock on the door, "let me see who it is HP, you please lock up all the doors and windows"
Nani walked upto the door slowly and opened it. She was surprised at the sight, "Kushi bitiyaā¦ā¦ā¦ā¦ā¦ā¦ā¦ā¦ā¦ā¦."
Tears rolled down kruti's eyes, "Nani Ji, I missed you a lot" she hugged Nani.
"Anj bitiya said she was coming to meet me but she never said that she was bringing you home to me" cried out Nani
Kruti turned to look at Anj with tears in her eyes, she walked back towards Anj and hugged her tight, "this is not fair Anj, you should have told me you were bringing me home"
Anj looked at Kruti and said "if I had told you Kru, how will it be a surprise then"
"I love you Anj" said Kruti and hugged Anj once again
Kruti sat on the sofa with Nani and she placed her head on Nani's lap "it feels so good to be home Nani Ji. But where is Di and Jeeju??" asked Kruti
"why do you wanna address them as such Kushi bitiya, when they themselves destroyed you" asked Nani "you have not changed Kushi bitiya, coz you were one person who never wished bad on people"
Kruti sat up straight on the sofa.
Sound of a glass falling and breaking into pieces were heard, frightening Kruti.
Two familiar eyes, dampened in tears looked at Kruti
"Kushi Didi" spoke HP
"Hari Prakash Ji, how are you" asked Kruti
"this is such a big surprise, Kushi didi, today I have realized that god really exists, I'm so happy to see you, this is like a miracle"
"Haina Hari Prakash Ji, I'm so glad to see you"
HP wiped off the tears and spoke with excitement "I'm gonna make your favourite Jalebi didi, I'll be back soon" saying this HP headed towards the kitchen
"Kru, you and Jalebi, that's like a huge surprise, which means you loved Jalebi since then" anj spoke confused
"did you know bitiya, whenever Kushi bitiya was tensed over some thing or whenever she was thinking of something, she used to make plates and plates of Jalebi, ha ha ha, but the best part of it was she used to eat all of it without giving any one of us" both Nani and Kushi laughed out loud
Anj was very happy to see them,
"Nani Ji, may I use the washroom please"
"of course bitiya it's to the right of the library" replied Nani
Kushi hugged Naniā¦ā¦.
~~~~~
"dude, this is a bloody mansion, and it looks so familiar"
"vansh looked at Amar and smirked"
"this is my house Vansh, and has that bloody Shyam Manohar Jha made this a strip club" spoke Amar with gritted teeth
Vansh wanted to laugh out at Amar's comment, but he had promised Anj not to tell Amar anything until he met Nani.
Amar got off the car and walked around Raizada Mansion, the smell of the soil made him feel relaxed, but that one thought of this Mandir turned into a strip club made his blood boil. He walked upto the garden, where he used to nurse his plants, he was feeling very hurt to see the garden full of grass and weeds grown. His garden had died with him.
"you know Vansh, I used to nurse my plants here, it was my hobby" said amar
Vansh was surprised at what he heard, "dude but surprisingly now you do not do any sort of thing as such"
Amar walked towards the door of the Raizada Mansion.
Nani felt a chill, "CHOTE" she called out
Kushi lifted her head up from Nani's lap. Nani got up from the sofa and started walking towards the door.
"Nani Ji" called out Kruti But it was all invain,
Nani started pacing faster towards the door. Kruti looked on at Nani, feeling confused, she was about to get up and walk behind Nani, when a hand held on to her shoulder. Kruti turned around to see Anj was holding on to her. Anj nodded at Kruti assuring her everything was fine.
Nani walked upto the door, took in a deep breath and opened the door.
Outside stood Amar, he was surprised at the sight, not a blink of an eye, he stared at the figure who stood near the door, a tear rolled down his eye, he could not move a limb. He felt his knees becoming weaker, he felt like hugging the figure but he was not sure whether he was imagining it or whether it was for real
"CHOTEā¦ā¦.." spoke Nani
Kushi got up from the sofa, tears were rolling down her eyes
Amar looked on, eyes still open, filling up with tears, Nani reached out to touch Amar's face. Nani's soft hands touched Amar, although his eyes were filled with tears, he did not breakdown.
Amar eventually gave in and hugged Nani tight. Nani cried out, "Thakur Ji, you have answered my prayers, you have brought back both my children"
Vansh and Anj were in tears, Anj held onto Kruti who was crying watching all this.
Nani pulled out of the hug and started kissing amar all over his face, "I'm so happy my Chote is back, for how long I had been waiting until this day arrived, I cry out almost everyday, sleepless nights, days of hunger, I used to pray to Thakur Ji to bring you back to me chote, I'm so happy today, my prayers are answered, my children are back"
Amar finally gave in and broke down "Nani I love you so very much"ā¦..
Kruti ran upto Arnav and Nani, "Arnav Ji" called out Kushi
Nani smiled seeing both Arnav and Kushi together and all three of them pulled into a family hugā¦ā¦.
