Delhi: (Delhi 6 area ' a small house)
This is the Chaudary household. Here resides the widowed Padmini Chaudary with her daughter Madhubala and her son Raj. Knock on the door. Padmini, opens the door to find the landlord of their house.
Padmini: Arey Mishra ji aap? Come in, have a seat.
Mishra: Padmini ji, it is already 20th of this month and you have not yet paid the rent.
Padmini: (a little in tension) I am sorry Mishra ji. I know you have been waiting for the rent for a long time, but then please try to understand. You know na, ki Madhu is going to Bangalore for her studies. It is a new place and I don't want her to feel all out of place when she gets there. So I need to see that I give her some money.
Mishra: I understand Padmini ji. But then we have a family too, we also have commitments, we also have expenses. How will we handle all our expenses if this is the case every month? (in irritated tone)
Padmini: Mishra ji, please I beg of you. I will try my level best and will pay the rent as soon as possible. Please (Pleading). You know that even the rent has been increased in the past month. (Now her eyes are wet)
Padmini ChaudaryMishra: Look Padmini ji, this is the last time I am allowing you to pay the rent late. If this is continued the next month as well then you will have to vacate the building and find yourself a new house. (Sternly)
Padmini: Mishar ji don't say that. Where will we go? You very well know that we have no one in the city.
Mishra: That is left to you to decide. (Without any emotions) I will take your leave now.
Mishra gets up to leave and that is when Madhu enters the house. She is lost somewhere. Madhu gives a smile to Mishra and folds her hands, but Mishra turns his face away and walks from there. Madhu walks towards Padmini. As soon as Padmini sees Madhu she hides her tears.
Padmini: Arey Madhu beta, you came? How was your day at the work place?
Madhu in order to support the family takes up the job of a tutor in a nearby coaching class for small children.
Madhu: It was good ma. (Slightly depressed)
Padmini: What happened Madhu? You look worried and tensed. How many times have I told you to not work. Is there any problem? Did anything happen? (it is as though rapid fire round has started)
Madhu: Aahh, Ma how many question will you ask at once. Atleast take some break to breathe. And ya don't worry nothing happened in the tuitions. Actually while I was coming in the' (She narrates the roadside incident that happened, about how the girl was harassed, how she helped that girl out, how there were these other two girls who joined her)
Padmini: (Proud of her daughter who saved the helpless girl) Good beta, but take care of yourself. I mean what if those goons had harmed you?
Madhu: Aise kaise? I am after all Padmini Chaudary's daughter (in a dramatic way, and hugs her mother from the back). Now forget all this and tell me Why did Mishra uncle come? I mean he looked a little angry too.
Padmini: Arey kuch nahi. He had come to collect the rent. (Tries to change the topic) Where is this Raj? He has not yet returned from his tuitions.
At the same time Raj too enters. Padmini and Madhu turn towards him.
Madhu: Lo, your son is here. Why Bandru? What made you take so long? (In a teasing tone)
Raj: (Not in a mood to take any nonsense) Today again I was teased by my friends for wearing this torn shoes. How many times have I told you guys to buy me a new pair of shoes? But no, every time we have some financial crisis or the other. Why don't we go and meet Trishna didu? But ma always has her own reasons for this.
Padmini as tears in her eyes hearing to Raj and to Trishna's name.
Madhu: Raj, (scolding) Stop talking that rude to ma. You very well know that we have so much of financial trouble. You can buy your shoes even later.
Padmini: No Madhu, don't stop him. Let him continue. (in a sarcastic tone) After all I have not done anything for him. (Crying badly)
Raj: Lo it started. Again ma started with her emotional drama. (Irritated moves from there to his room).
Madhu cannot see her mother crying and she comes and hugs her mother with tears I her eyes too.
Shantivan (Raizada Mansion), Delhi:
In the living room Manorama Raizada (Yuvi and Aakash's mother, Arnav and Anjali's chachi and RK's Mami) is reading her Women's era magazine. She is reading the gossip of the B-Town as though she has to write an exam on the subject. She is all decked up with jewelry and is wearing a grand Benaras Sari. Devyani Raizada (Arnav, Yuvi, Akash and Anjali's Dadi and RK's Naani), Anjali and Radha Kundra (RK's mother) return from the temple.

Manorama Raizada

Deyani Raizada

Radha Kundra
Devyani: Ye lo, Here she is. (Talking about Manorama) Manorama, if you have finished reading your Gossips then take some Prasad, from the temple.
Manorama is too engrossed in the magazine and does not notice the three women standing in front of her.
Devyani: (irritated) Manorama'Manorama.
Manorama startles: Hello, Hi, Bye, Bye. Saasuma, when did you make your enterywa? (slightly embarrassed)
Devyani: You would have known if you concentrate a little on the outer world too. (rudely) By the way when I asked you to accompany us to the temple you had headache, now you don't have headache?
Manorama suddenly keeps her hand on her forehand and pretends to massage her head. Devyani, gives a evil stare to her and walks to her room. Manorama takes a sigh of relief as soon as Devyani is out of sight. On this Radha and Anjali start giggling.
Radha: Bhabhi, you will never change. (giggling)
Manorama: How could I come to the temple? I had to watch Pyar ka Dard hein. I missed it yesterday. Hello Hi Bye Bye You knowing Pankhudi and Aditya's past are related'
Radha and Manorama get into this discussion. Anjali sees this and lets out sigh.
Anjali: Now, these two will not stop with their Serial Puran. I wonder where are these three brothers. Hari Prakash Ji'Hari Prakash Ji
Hari Prakash (HP, the Raizada Servant): Ji Anjali didi.
Anjali: Where is Chote (Anjali calls Arnav Chote), Rishabh and Yuvi?
HP: Didi, they have gone for tennis practice.
Anjali: Okay. You carry on with your work Hariprakash ji. (HP leaves) These three will never understand. I had asked them to start with their packing for college. They have their flight today. In the last moment they will start irritating me. Kya karoon mein inn teeno ka?
Right then RK, Arnav and Yuvi enter from the main door wearing their tennis dress. They walk towards Anjali.
Anjali: You three came? Did I not ask you people to finish with your packing today? What would happen if you guys would have not practiced tennis today?
RK: Waise di, Looks like you had been to the temple? (Seeing the Taal in Anjali's hand)
Anjali: Ya so?
Arnav: Then what would have happened if you would have not gone to the temple today? (with his smirk)
Yuvraj: What happened di? Now answer bhai? (stats smiling at the helpless condition of his cute di)
Anjali: There is no point arguing with you people.
The three of them settle down in the sofa. RK stares at Manorama and his mom who were still busy discussing the serial. He also stares on the Woman's Era magazine, cover page of which was showing the details of the interview of this famous actress Trishna Chaudary. He is irritated. Yuvraj clearly understood this.
Yuvraj: RK, did you buy the tennis shoes you wanted to buy?
Anjali: (understood the situation very well and wanted to divert RK's attention from the serial discussion. All very well knew how much he hated anything and everything related to the showbiz) What ! A new pair of shoes? But you purchased one last week. You guys will never realize the value of money.
Finally, Manorama and Radha too stop with their serial chat.
Manorama: Hello, Hi, Bye, Bye!! So what Anjali Bitya? RK Bitwa wants to buy a new pair of shoes then what is wrong in that?
Then the family starts to chit-chat. Arnav is busy with his BB texting his girlfriend Lavanya Kashyap, who too studies in SBU. The ladies are busy in chit chatting, while RK and Yuvraj are enjoying Manorama's non-stop bickering. Tea is served and they all enjoy the tea.
