Awesome! THANK YOU SO very much!! Thankyou @canapoem for bringing more and more people to the story otherwise I would just reside in a dark, not so well lit nook of this vast Forum😳

I just observe people all around carefully and note down interesting things mentally and bring them out when I etch characters. Plus us Indians generally are so open with showing our emotions its easy to craft Indian characters😆

I would fail miserably crafting goras, since they are so inscrutable in general.

I might be totally off, but just MO

Uss chiraag ki baat hi alag hai jo andheron mein chalte paaya jaye :)

We are most certainly open in our emotions! And open in foisting them on all around us 😆

Raanav had flown in a day early when Viveka had the flu and fussed around. Today on learning she cried he is at the Mathur's house. A good lawyer hopefully he will not reveal her the reason 😋

I will make a guess here that Naina has sailed through life till now and this is the first setback/crisis she has faced in her life. Maybe being away from it all (Scandinavian course) will help her get some perspective. That she has being naive and self destructive. Maybe she will ponder that being with a man (Inder) who gets swayed by others opinion (Smrita) is not good for her in the long run.

I am looking forward to the next update 😍

Shradha

Naina needs an attitude adjustment. She has no appreciation for what her parents do for her. All she sees is what they do for Viveka. She may be going on a trip paid for by her parents and she is treating it like so what? She can't understand why Viveka did not marry for the money since thats what she was after with Inder. Does she like anything else about him at all? If and when she finds out that Inder does not have any earnings of his own, will she still be interested?

The man heard she was crying and decided to come down to meet up. It shows us he will support her when she needs it.

Kundali Bhagya

Viveka gingerly herded him back to her room, which was not in any better shape, between the twins and Dada Dadi it was wrecked too

“Are we supposed to be doing something in here?” he asked casually yanking one end off her cord unraveling her hair

“Kya matlab?” she smacked him and tied it back again picking upstuff off the floor and bed

“I mean you know” he trailed her like a hungry puppy

Grabbing her from behind finally

“Kya kar rahe ho Raanav… HATO!” she scolded

He held on and kissed her bare exposed shoulder back and let go

The door was open and Karuna saw it passing by she ran into Naina’s empty room giggling

“Are we supposed to do something or not?”

She turned around and stared at him

“Kyaa?”

“Why are we in your room?”

“Because Papa said inko bithao”

“I cant sit in the living room?”

“AREY wahin lekar ja rahi thi tumhe mujhe laga tum bore ho jaogey” she explained totally confused

“I am fine” he shrugged

“Tumne kya socha?”

Then realized what he had implied

Started to laugh

“You thought MY PARENTS wanted us to have some hot interlude at 6 PM?” “Some pagan Hindu ritual?” she laughed

“Not pagan” he shook his head stiffly

She laughed and laughed

“Umm.. no I am not doing it with my whole house awake” she whispered walking over to him

He grabbed her by her waist molding her

She flashed him a sparkling smile holding the open vee of his shirt

“You basically just followed me here so you could get laid?” she whispered

He nodded still hoping

She bend his head down and kissed him fully, a soft moan escaped his lips, he grabbed her firmly as she tried to escape, gently demanding he give her full access to her mouth

After a few minutes of flirting she allowed him access

Diya stepped out to peek after Karuna whispered to her

By then the couple were separating

“Kuch khaogey abhi?” she asked protectively

“Not really” he shrugged

She fixed her delinquent saree and turned to him as she found a couple of interesting journals she had left behind last week when she had packed hurriedly

“Oh so THIS is where it is”

The pile of romance novels he had gifted sat on one of many stools overflowing with books

“Did you read those?” he asked bending down to pick one up

She laughed and shook her head

“Not in your wheelhouse?” he asked flipping through them

“I love smut…” “Which girl doesn’t” she blushed and turned back to her journals

“But?”

“Kahan padhoongi is ghar mein, Dadi hain”

“Well they are not hidden

“I” had hid them, the twins must have borrowed them”

He chuckled

“Di do you want momos?” Diya deliberately entered the room

She turned around

“Hi! Bacha, sure, tum khaogey?” she asked Raanav as she opened her mouth for one juicy sauce dripping treat

“Its hot, its hot” she slurred jumping around the room and then chewed in leisure as her husband watched the sibling love

“Do u want one?” Diya asked him shyly

“No I am OK” he smiled

“BTW I am Diya” she said

Thanks” he laughed

Viveka looked at him funny

“He asked me which one was I at the wedding”

Raanav blushed, ashamed

“Don’t worry I have many siblings” she winked at him walking out of the room

“Where?” he asked

She shook her head in “Stay there but you aint getting no action for now”

Dadi just lunged at him and knocked his breath out… I mean close

“Kaise ho beta?”

“Main theek hoon” he nodded

Akash waited cringing, his mother was going to say something unfunny

“Hamari Biveka ko lekar ghoome ho?” she asked

“Yeah we went to Koh Som”

“Koh kaahe?”

Akash laughed “And … there we go”

“Koh SOM?” Raanav explained

“Dweep hai?” Dadi asked curiously

“Umm.. I don’t know” he looked at Akash

“Haan Ma who bhi ek dweep hai, ISLAND”

“Ah”

“Khush khabri sunaogey jaroor iska matlab” Dadi patted his shoulder

“Ammmmma” Akash warned shifting newspapers pointlessly on the coffee table

“To nahi karenge kya bacha?”

“Ammma 10 din hue hain”

“BATAO? Bacha nahi karenge?” Dadi was insistent

Diya and Karuna watched Raanav with amusement after Karuna brought Dadu back from his walk

Dadu asked him intelligent questions Akash relaxed a bit leaning back on the sofa and breathing a sigh of relief

But Dadi as you know is a fiend she did her thing

But the Parashar kid was unfazed, the next hour or so he explained everything he did for a living, showed her island pictures, showed her Cleo’s pictures and got told “Hinduon mein ghar par kutta rakhna achha nahi maante beta, de do kisi ko, yah chhod do” “Darwaza khulla rakho ghanta bhar aap hee bhaag jaavegi”

Akash was chewing on the throw pillow by now

He tried to distract Raanav with politics economy

Mmm…mmmm Dadi harassed him until Savi walked in with Piyush and Kamal ji

Viveka went in and out of the kitchen but could not do anything about Dadi

Anu tried to pull Dadi in asking about a recipe

But Dadi told Anu “Itne saalon ki grahasti mujhe pooch rahi hai BATAO” she asked Raanav for endorsement

“We are what he and his mother fears Veev” Anu panicked in the kitchen

“I did not invite him, he came by himself, not sure why” Viveka said glumly

“Naina bhi nahi aayi ghar” Anu fret

“Hmm.. text karoon?” she asked lifting her head up from the roti making

“Nahi ruk jaate hain” Viveka realized her mother wanted Raanav and her to leave

It hurt her, broke her heart but she knew why

“Aur jee Dulhan aayi hai” Savi peeked

Viveka smiled hugged and greeted

“Apron suna hai toone?” Piyush whipped a hand towel on her belly as atta flew all around

“Mental… roti se aata nahi chikega to” Viveka smacked him

They began fighting in the kitchen

And chased each other out

Diya and Karuna went in for back up into Naina’s room they all cackled

Anu peeked

Kamal anD Akash and Raanav were chatting about some article on the ipad

“Phewww”

“Kya hua Jeeji”

“Amma dimaag kharab kar rahin hain Raanav ka” she said bitterly

“Kya bolin?” savi asked worried

“Tumne test karwaya hai na, bacha ho jaayega kyon?” Anu whispered

Savi sat on the floor and smacked her forehead

“Hamari Biveka ki kundali mein 7 bache likhe hain”

Savi was horrified

“Agar mujhe pata hota, main aapke ghar bhej deti shaam ko” Anu was firm

“Sorry Jeeji”

“I think she mostly does this knowingly” Anu said bluntly

“Chalo chhod do aap, Ma ki bhi age ho rahi hai” Savi went on the defensive

“Mujhe ya mere bachon ko insult karte waqt mujhe lagta nahi Savi”

Dadi is such an item 😆

Atleast dadi should close her mouth in front others. Poor Anu

Curious to see how the evening goes.

Ranaav is smitten. He loves and cares. Only problem is his upbringing done by Smrita. It’s not easy to get rid of once own biases.

Let’s see how this one copes now.

Viveka did accept chauffeur driven car without argument and am happy about that.
Nisha, even I want to see Viveka being pregnant before Lekha. Would be interesting to see how these two react about being parents. Ranaav would be happy for sure.
viveka would have reservations as she is yet to complete her PhD.

Viveka's kundali says she can have 7 kids!!

What's your rashi, yeh toh batade na? 😆

Anu fears that their family looks like exactly what Smrita dislikes. But I think Raanav would love this family. Hope one day Anu and Raanav can laugh remembering this day.

Dadi is just being herself.

"“I doubt it” Viveka sighed leaning back shelling peas, with a yawn (severely sleep deprived), aiming peas into the bowl set on the floor while she sat on the swing

Did a Michael Jordan like cheer each time the tiny pearl landed in the giant a—bowl😆"

Simple pleasures. Pea from a pod hooped into a bowl . It's great as if you dunked the ball into a basketball hoop/ net. Yeah! Do the flex babe !!

Though I felt , it was very thoughtful of Viveka to not do Jordan kind of flex in the parking lot. Defining moments pass by the most everyday circumstances but when you sit back and cry like how Viveka couldn't help herself in the car, you realize they are those life moments or life modes when you know that things have FUNDAMENTALLY changed. Two sisters feeling the weight of the change where Naina with a resigned smile acknowledging the change walks away from the parking lot as she watched her dear sister get into the chauffered LV.

That was the most moving, most defining moment of the chapter for me. This title chapter like kundali Bhagya was also good.
