Merry Christmas ❤️

Thanks a lot Nisha.And merry Christmas guys

Its obvious to everyone that Smrita is not on board with this relationship. No parent wants to see their child not being welcomed into their new family. Anu and Akash are dealing with that big time.

Merry Christmas 🎄

Merry Christmas to all !!

Nisha waiting for Christmas bonanza ...please do give few updates today .

Hey Kalpana

You mentioned a great point last night that Mathurs were treating Naina unfairly

SPOT ON!

Inadvertently they are favoring Viveka

YES!

Naina's relationship was seen a frivolous immature dalliance while Viveka's is accepted unconditionally

It is going to go badly

They mean well but they have treated Naina poorly.

I doubt even Viveka is even realizing that at this point😭

Nisha the way Naina have handled her relationship with her parents was not truthful. She was lying and behaving totally immature where Viveka have been fair and truthful to her parents. Naina totally ignored her family just for a boyfriend where Viveka thinks of her parents and their respect . Inder was just a boyfriend where Rannav and Viveka marriage is fixed and relationship began with commitment. It’s natural for parent to believe in couple who walk on right path. Rannav gained more respect as he asked for Viveka hand in marriage from her parents

Place & Time

“We cannot have them marry at a Registrar’s office” smriti spoke haltingly testing the room

“We agree” anubha nodded softening

“Oh? Do you?” Smrita’s eyes lit up

“She is our first Mrs Parashar”

“Arey call her Smrita” Satyen ordered

“”Ha ha… sure” Anubha smiled

“Aapka khayal kya hai?” akash probed

“We were hoping both boys marry at a destination wedding” Smrita was bolder now

“Umm.. who to ho nahi paayega” satyen was firm

“You don’t have to say that” smriti was a bit irritated now

“aap suno” Satyen leaned back and asked her to be patient waving at Anubha

“What does Viveka like?”

“She wants a simple wedding, she will never agree to wasteful expenditure”

“Umm.. but most people these days get married that way” smriti had a “are u guys stupid” expression

“Not in our families” Anubha smiled

“Umm.. how can u say that, Kamalji’s son is getting married in Mauritius on Dec 15 isnt he?”

Anubha was caught off guard

“But you see they are, umm.. how can I say this”

“Unki level alag hai bhabhiji” Akash completed it for her

“satya we have a reputation to upkeep”

Rakshit and Lekha walked in, Smrita spent a good 20 minutes talking hugging and kissing Lekha and coddling her and explaining every bit about her “empire” to Anubha

Carefully leaving out introducing the Mathurs

“We went out for breakfast” Rakshit was polite as he bend down to greet the Mathurs

Lekha was certainly gorgeous Anubha noticed

“How can wealth, style and looks all converge in one spot? Why does it always do that?

Anubha explored metaphysical? Questions at that moment

Lekha looked at them curiously

“as you know ur BIL is in love” Satyen joked “These are the parents of the bride”

“Is he ENGAGED?” lekha asked in an affected way

“Yes, Raanav has proposed and she said yes” Satyen was very happy

“Oh wow! Nice”

“Where is he?” Rakshit wanted to know

“they went out for a walk, miley nahi?”

“Nope”

“Hi!” ekha just waved at Anubha

“Hello”

“And this is the Director of Engineering at I&R, he heads Fraud?”

“Online Banking Security & Regulations” Akash smiled amused

“Yes yes…” Akash spent a good 10 minutes explaining

“So great” Lekha’s eyes glazed over

“You have to meet their daughter beta” Satyen insisted

“Oh yeah?”

“She teaches” Rakshit smiled

“Awww… cute”

“No, she is a Lecturer at JNU” Anubha said softly

Smrita shifted uneasily

“What is JNU?” Lekha asked Rakshit

“She studied abroad” Smrita reminded

“Great” Anubha smiled

“Chaliye khaana khaaya jaaye”

“Mumma I wont eat, I had a BIGGGG breakfast” Lekha cooed

Smrita got up to hug her “mera shonooo you have a tiny belly” she patted the young girl’s washboard abs

“Can u call him?” Satyen requested Rakshit as he led the way to the formal dining room

Anu texted Viveka

“Your new SIL is here” she texted

“Great”

“Come back everyone is waiting o eat”

Viveka and raanav returned 20 minutes later after they were all seated at the table

“Hi! I am Lekha…. Wowww saree, you must show me how to wear” Lekha insisted

“Sure, anytime” Viveka smiled

She sat between her parents, Raanav sat across from her

Smrita had planned that for hours

“Mumma I will just have a salad

“sure baby” Smrita nodded

And summoned the help

Viveka ate like a fiend

“She can teach you how to wear a saree you can teach her how to protect her skin” Smrita lifted a buttered naan and waved

“Khaane do yaar” satyen growled

“Don’t worry I have never let talks about health talk deter me in my gastronomic quest” Viveka nodded confidently

“Ur Dad wanted Indian too beta so you are not alone” satyen pointed to Akash

“Apna khaana best hota hai bhaisaab”

“I even have a teeshirt “In khichdi we trust” Viveka smiled

The Balmain wearing MIL and DIL duo just could not identify with that

Raanav and Akash and Rakshit talked about commercial financing, Satyen dug deep into Anubha’s promotion

Smrita HAD TO chat with her future DILs

“When is the wedding Mumma?”

“Umm we don’t know yet” Smrita smiled happily

“You guys should get married with us in January in Rome” Lekha insisted

“That sounds lovely”

“Oh yeah, its amazing” Smrita agreed

“The people I work with could never afford it so probably not” Viveka smiled

“Not everyone gets to go to every wedding…. There is a place and time for everyone and everything” Smrita announced her life’s motto

“Everyone I love belongs in “my place” Viveka smiled graciously

Battle lines were drawn…
