Part 17
Rathore halt vehicle outside his flat.
He look at Arjun lost in his thoughts. He know its difficult for him to step inside his home after the argument they had. The argument was about his anger that lead Roshini to its death.
Rathore sigh the moment he saw Sakashi's reflection in the mirror. He brush his thoughts away and got down from the car.
20min later
Rathore stood inside his house taking pictures while his mother welcome Sakashi into their home. His mother Anvesha Singh Rathore might be modern by her attitude, but from her heart extremely tradition after marrying his father Vikrant Singh Rathore.
He saw his mother directly Sakashi into their home. She made Sakashi tap kalash filled with rice. He saw Sakashi brought out her right foot and tap kalash filled with rice. Rice fell onto the ground spreading smile on his mother's face.
Than he notice his sister Siya coming out from the puja room. She hold tali filled with red liquid. She place that tali on the ground in front of the kalash afterwards she come and stood beside him.
2min later
Sakashi got confuse seeing red liquid in tali on the ground. She look at her husband, but he's lost in his own world.
Her eyes wanted to thank Arjun for making her change. It would look odd wearing western clothes and doing these stuff.
She smiled when Arjun's Choti Maa explain her to step inside the red liquid and leave her foot prints behind her and enter bringing goodness into their home and mostly Arjun's life.
Sakashi step inside the red liquid and enter inside after she took blessing from Arjun's Choti Maa.
3min later
Anvesha smile "god bless you my child" she bless Sakashi and kissed her forehead. Her eyes look at Arjun standing by the entrance.
She goes directly toward him and touch her his shoulder "why are you standing outside like unwanted guest? Aren't you going to take blessing from me" Arjun bend down taking blessing from her.
She bless him "god give you strength of understanding relation and respect them" Arjun smile for his Choti Maa.
His Choti Maa hugged him tightly "how is my son? Hasn't he once thought about me? Look at yourself (Sameer roll his eyes) and that little anger of yours always stay on your nose" Arjun pout in his poker face "Mom, Arjun Bhai isn't going anywhere that you need to act this much" He smile at Siya, but her eyes hold many questions.
He sighed and go toward Siya.
Siya excuse herself, but Arjun hold her wrist "are you mad at me" Siya stare at him with moist eyes "why would I be mad at you? Why would you care if I missed you or not" her tears shatter her. Arjun just toke her in tight hug "I missed you so much Arjun Bhai" "I miss you too, Guriya" "that you hardly came to check on me" Siya complain.
Arjun: So my sweet little Guriya mad at her Arjun Bhai than I'll give this chocolate to someone who cares for me maybe Sheen would like it.
Siya grab her chocolate "who said I am mad. I love my chocolate" she smiled.
Sameer had quick smile, but cover it. He roll his eyes and went inside his room to fresh up.
6min later
Anvesha settle in the living room with her kids. She wouldn't let go of Arjun's hand. She fear that if she's let go off his hand than he'll leave her again.
Sakashi stood far away from Arjun and his bonding with Choti Maa. She miss the moment with her siblings and mostly her Beeji.
Anvesha notice Sakashi "beta, why are you standing over there" everyone look at Sakashi who stood alone.
Arjun: Why are you standing over there? Come here.
Sakashi: I am fine.
Sakashi's phone rang and its in Arjun's shirt pocket.
Sakashi go toward him "mera phone" Arjun gave her phone too her. She answer it "hello" hearing the voice brought smile on her face "omg, Uday" she couldn't stop smiling.
Uday: How you doing?
Sakashi: I'm great. And you?
Uday: I am doing fine. Just wanting to know are you coming
Sakashi: Uday, I'll talk with you later. I am busy at the moment. Can't say if I am coming or not. Bye
Uday: Bye
Sakashi hang up and meet the eyes of her husband and his family. She smile at them "Bhabhi, who was that and where are you going" Siya asked sweetly.
Sakashi: Siya, its my friend Udayveer. He wants to know when I am free so we can go shopping for his sister's wedding.
Anvesha: What's the matter in that? Shopping only take few hours that why didn't you agree?
Sakashi: Auntie, our shopping doesn't last for hours, but entire day and mostly its not possible at the moment cause our shopping only happen in Delhi not here.
Anvesha eyes get moist remembering few things, but display a smile. Siya divert everyone's mind.
Siya: Mom, when is your guest coming? I am starving of hunger.
Arjun got confuse.
Rathore came out of his room and heard his mother "Mom who else is coming" he asked to clear out confusion.
Anvesha: I forgot to mention that I invite Virat and his family.
Hearing Virat's name brought a smile, but suddenly remembering her sister she gulp down her fear. Before she could open her mouth door bell rang. Siya rush to open the door and greet Virat with hug.
Sakashi stood behind Arjun gripping onto his shirt. Arjun found it strange. He watch Virat take blessing from Choti Maa than introduce his family to Choti Maa.
Anvesha bless them and took them inside. She notice Sakashi hiding behind Arjun looking upwards mumbling something. Her act reminds her of her Bhabhi who always look upwards mumbling something to her Babaji.
Virat tap his Auntie's shoulder "Auntie, what's" than his eyes caught Sakashi hiding behind Arjun Sir. His eyes spark up with naughtiness.
Virat st: Oh boy! I am going to love the next few hours. I still remember Sakashi made me and Partner clean up yesterday. Now its payback time. Let's get started.
Virat took his phone and message his partner in crime.
Maanvi phone beep. She got confuse and look at the message from Virat. She gave Virat a look and saw him smiling. She knew something is crawling in her partner's mind. She gave him a smile too and read the message. Her smile grew bigger, but control her mouth. She type Virat a message.
Viren, Jeevika, Rathore, Anvesha and Virat settle on the sofa except for Arjun cause of Sakashi.
Maanvi: Um, Auntie
Anvesha look at Maanvi
Maanvi: Auntie, can you please tell me where is the washroom?
Anvesha: Siya beta, why don't you show Maanvi where the washroom is?
Siya: Yes Mom
Siya took Maanvi with her.
Viren got himself engage into conversation with Rathore. Jeevika wanting to ask her Jiju about Sakashi, but got herself into discussion with Anvesha Auntie.
Virat sly smirk: Arjun Sir, why are you standing? Please join us!
Arjun glare at Virat, but his glare isn't going to stop him. He stood up and march toward Arjun.
Arjun st: Why is Virat coming over here? And why is Sakashi hiding from her sister? Something is missing!
Virat got message and smile.
Sakashi saw his smile and knew something isn't right. His smile mean trouble (she shriek) "got you Di" Maanvi shouted in her ear.
Sakashi knew she's dead by the look of her sister's face. She look at her sweet Jiju for help, but his eyes also glaring at her.
Sakashi step forward toward her sister who cup her face in concern "Di, I" "chup" Jeevika shouted.
Sakashi: Par Di
Jeevika: I don't want to hear anything. How can you be so careless and hiding behind Arjun Jiju isn't going to save you from my anger?
Sakashi: Relax Di! I am fine. Its just small wound and it will heal soon. Please don't stress yourself.
Sakashi looking at her Jiju with pleading eyes.
Viren sigh.
Viren: Jeevika, please clam down.
Jeevika: How can I clam down knowing my little sister and her careless acts. You remember the time she got fever and yet she never told anyone until she fainted and we admitted her in the hospital than we came to know about her fever.
Maanvi hearing Jeevika got emotional and start crying. Her cries make everyone look at her.
Sakashi sigh and took Maanvi in her arms "Manu" Maanvi hide her face in Sakashi's blossom "Meri Manu is strong girl than why shedding tears. Look at Di" Maanvi finally look at Sakashi "I am absolutely fine" she looking at Virat for help "look nothing happen to me" Virat came closer to the girls "Tweety, let her cry cause Bandariya always cries" hearing Bandariya got Maanvi into fighting mode "oyee chup Bandar otherwise" "otherwise what" Virat tease her to limit.
Maanvi flung herself out of Sakashi's grip and start running after Virat. Virat run out of the building and Maanvi follow him.
