P&P Part III - Page 62

Dog house ? Not Raanav ..so what if he is sleeping upstairs. Maybe Smrita or maybe Nupur (when Viren apologizes) 😋 Whenever you decide to give us a peek 😁

Raanav reaction of non chalance is expected. Wife and mom are both important to him...by profession he needs more information why his MIL made his Mami cry...or if it is even his battle to fight. Or maybe after the kick-start of his love life has realised that Inder does not need to be mollycoddled ..two grown ups can make their own mistakes and bear its consequences. He has grown up too. 😊

Happy Friday Nisha 😍

Ps. Oh Dadi and Ra interactions are a treat to read

Inder and Naina are really hopeless. They have no care or worry about how their behaviors are affecting both the families.

And both cannot take a stand whether they want to be together or not.

I really hope someone knocks some sense into both their brains. Will it be Raanav who will do it? He is seeing how it is affecting both sides.

Dadi and Raanav's interactions are a treat to read. 😃

Lekha will soon become a laughing stock in the entire society. 😆

She should really learn where to throw her weight and where not to. 😆

Are naina and inder so unaware of the situation in both the families because of them or they just dont care for anything else..! Dont they know how their interactions are effecting everyone..

Dont inder know what her mother think of naina and her family and what all she can say to them

Dont they have to be little careful about themselves i

They both need to make some decisions and make quick otherwise it will effect many lives..!

You just cant go like this in your life without caring for anyone and anything

Raanav is growing..which is good. He didn't judge his MIL..instead when he saw Inder and Naina together, he got the point that Naina alone is not to blame. Inder is equally responsible. Satyen is a gentleman, what more to say about him. And Dadi is hilarious 😂

Satyen is stuck trying to manage the family dynamics. If he continues to stand up for the Mathurs, hopefully it will send a message to Smrita to tone down her actions.

Hi Nisha ji!!

I don't think you'd remember me from a few months back, but I wanted to tell you that I thought of you often during this time.. you, your story, your engaging readers and ofcourse, what was up with my favorite characters! ❤️

Many congratulations to you.. for the new threads, the fabulous story and characters and your awesome readers! 👏👍🏼

I couldn't believe that I missed more than an entire thread.. but then I couldn't believe I had an entire thread of updates to read

It was like a buffet served to a famine-survivor😆

Every part, every track, every twist is beautifully put.. reminds me of so many experiences, brings so much to mind.. your brilliant sense of humor! All of it, tempts me so much, but I'd hate to spam your thread!

I hope you and your family, and all the readers have been safe and well! Love 😊

I'm supposed to wake up in less than 4 hours and be very alert.. but I can't resist posting this 😛

I'm so glad Raanav did not pass on his mum's text on to Veev or Anu, like he did the last time.. I think that was just plain suicidal, if he really wants for them to have a cordial relationship! Veev's outrage.. he was asking for it 😕

Again, Nupur or Smrita.. I'd expect them to be quite the posh ladies, well versed with social appearances? Do they not realize that in attacking Veev or Anu regarding Naina-Inder, they're broadcasting the message that their 30?? Umm.. whatever year old, hardworking big name businessman son is out of their control? Is unfit to make their own decisions? Why subject him to such ridicule?

In view of this, cheers to the Mathurs for having Naina's back!!

Umm.. humare yaha ek kahavat hai - bin paindi ka lota! 🤣 It's used for those who only need a nudge to start rolling over and change sides... who don't have any standing on their own! Inder seems to be a personification of it..

Also, @ jaschick.. thanks a lot for the index you created! It was a great help 😊

Pretend

“This expectation is the most basic” Satyen spoke as he grit his teeth

Nupur grunted and sipped her drink

The Dhamijas and SSenior Parashars were in the informal lounge

The family and friends were gathered in the atrium

The music was loud and there was a bunch of laughter

“Am I allowed to say how busy or available my son is? Jeej?”

“You are allowed to say anything Nupur, but you are not allowed to accuse a girl’s mother that she is a gold digger or her daughter is a gold digger”

Smrita shifted in her chair uncomfortably

“WHO told you Satya?”

“The whole lawn heard it my dear, Mahesh, Tilakji, Kanhaiya (the regular help) sabne suna hai”

“Did they complain?”

“Why are you going to fire them?”

“Don’t be silly”

“Nahi, Di aapki bahu ki Mom ne kuch kaha hoga”

“That’s just outrageous Nupur, Vuren aap sun rahe hain inki baat?” Satyen got up wobbling steadying himself with his stick

Smrita jumped up

Nupur didn’t

“Nupur sun le yaar baat”

“HE is hurting me Viren” Nupur began to cry, Di AAPNE kaha tha hum aayen Lohri mein warna between South Africa Lagos and UK I had over a dozen invites”

“Satya kya kar rahe ho aap” Smrita was furious

“How can you watch this whole thing and not offer me support yaar?”

“Hua kuch bhi nahi hai” smriti was adamant

“Yahi baat Tandons ke saath hui hoti baat Rumi ke poker group taq pahunch jaati to to tumhe kaisa lagta?”

“Rumi is my best friend” Smrita was sure

“Anu Mathur ko aap please basic izzat to dein”

“I AM RESPECTFUL”

“No you are not, she has either been talking to her daughters or to our friends, both Tandons and you and Dhamijas were not talking to them the whole evening

“Were you spying on me?”

“I WAS”

“SATYAA”

“There is no need to make a big theater out of this

“Aap RUK nahi sake guests ke jaane taq”

Viren sat staring with a blank expression on his face

Nupur was frantically texting

“Nupur PLEASE don’t prepone your ticket”

Satyen rolled his eyes and ambled

“Arey we thought we will see Jeej and spend time with the newly wed couple”

“COUPLES” Satyen turned “I have two boys, both are married”

“To hum kahan kuch aur keh rahe hain jeej”

“You clearly said couple…. That girl Lekha doesn’t even talk with you, Viveka Mathur is beyond accomplished, I don’t understand the treatment she gets in this house”

“Raanav treats her fine” Smrita reminded her husband

“Do you want him to mistreat her?”

“He married her because”

“I know you have not liked the Mathurs since the first visit to Shrivastavs”

“No…

“Inder’s trip to Jaipur made everything go down the toilet for you”

“Inder should be allowed to choose, he doesn’t want to be with Naina”

“Phir aapne unki Ma ko yoon hi taana maara?”

Nupur was quiet

“Bhaisaab main sorry keh deta hoon” Viren stood up abrupty

“Hmm… sigh! Hmm…. Aapne kuch kaha nahi, but I guess it will do for now”

“Do you want her completely humiliated Satya??” Smrita was shocked

“I am begging for you and Nupur to respect the Mathurs just like you respect the Tandons, you may not love them, that’s fine, I doubt they would love us back” satyen chuckled derisively

“We are not horrible human beings Satya, that is plain mean” smriti was hurt

“I am sorry” he squeezed her elbow, or at least tried to

She pushed his arm off

“This is just such a mess”

“Di I will say sorry, par aap hamein rok nahi saktin if we want o leave tomorrow” Nupur threatened

“You don’t have to Nup, I WILL” Smrita flexed her shoulders as if she was going to go fight a war

They joined the guests, Satyen was all smiles

Akash Mathur looked at Smrita, Smrita tried to smile awkwardly

She approached her tentatively

“Umm… did you get something to eat?” Smrita asked politely

“We have been eating from the moment we got off the car” Anu smiled genuinely

“I am sorry if it got a bit heated with Nupur she is very possessive about her boys” Smrita reached for Anu’s hand

Anu was in complete shock

“Umm… uh… oh?”

“Yeah I am sorry” Smrita was almost inaudible

“Oh please don’t apologize we are all protective about our kids, I didn’t need an apology” Anu was in shock

“Oh pleez stop lying! You were insulted enough to complain to your husband or daughter, who inturn complained to my husband, and now he is pretending he overheard the help gossip” Smrita fumed

“Where are the kids” Smrita turned her head and pretended to look for her kids

“Viveka stubbed her toe, so she went to put a bandaid on it”

“Oh?”

“Yeah, it was just a broken toe nail”

“You already have so many guests maybe the girls can stay over some other night”

“ABSOLUTELY NOT” satyen ordered loudly joining his wife

“I mean”

“Biwi hamari naraaz hai hum soch rahe hain aapki betiyon ke saath movie wagerah dekh lenge”

“Oh?” “Um” Anu turned red

“I am not Satya is annoying” Smrita blushed

“Aapke jaane taq ruki hain aaj raat ko hum ya to couch pe ya khulli chhath par, Kidhar hain Akashji? “

“He has no experience sleeping on the couch if that’s what u were hoping to find out, I just send him to his sister’s at Rajouri Garden” Anu laughed hysterically

“He looks like a happy man”

“AND he is a good actor” Anu smiled

Anu and Satyen stared at each other for a minute

“SATYA” Smrita pulled on his arm

“Batao?” he turned to her

“What will you eat” Smrita cooed turning a little green

Raanav taped up her toe as she read a blog post of a author she followed in the dev sector on her phone

He gently teased the center of her foot

“Raanavvvvv” she squeaked dropping her phone

He got up and lowered himself on the plush chair

“Kya kar rahe ho”

“Lets pretend you are in pain” he whispered nuzzling her neck
