P&P with a twist IV - Page 11

Nisha, can we have few more and this Smrita soon made to realise how awe full a human being she is.

So Smrita changed from "Insults" to "Indifference" attitude towards Viveka?

Nothing will change unless Raanav stands up for his wife.

If he keeps laughing (all the hurt thrown towards his wife) it away, his mom will continue or even increase it.

Psychology of Disappointment

Smrita knows that her words are being watched and analyzed by Satyan and she will have to watch it. What will fix her in no time is if Raanav was the one feeling that. She thinks she can manipulate Satyen, but not so with Raanav.

Getting rid of rare things

Viveka is a rare gem not only for her own family but for theirs too. Smrita is just too blinded by money to see it.

Breakfast & Babies

Well Smrita. Newsflash. Your sons have middle class genes too. So do you.

“Not ours”

The big question is how much has Raanav noticed his mom"s behavior? And why not?

New..

“She has a new job” Anu stirred the pot peeking down into it, she was making halwa, there was going to be a havan and a pooja at home

Bua was already here, Piyush and her were stringing marigold all over

Viveka felt another poke of strong envy for Naina

Just for a job?

Chachu had made a recommendation with someone that was related to Garima Chachi that owned a large design firm in Punjabi Bagh

Papa had shot it down knowing Chachi will make it appear like she had gotten Naina the job at double the pay

Why?

Did everyone give up on her?

Are they trying to cheer her up?

“Kidhar hai Ma?”

“Oh?” Diya Karuna Varshu ke saath Mall gaye hain to check out outfits for god bharai,”

“THEY went?” Viveka knew her twins

“I know right? They didn’t want to, Chachu said they could get an outfit”

“Papa ne jaane diya?” Viveka was even more shocked

What was going on in this house?

“U know, he will return it as some jewelry or something for the baby shagun mein chala jaayega” Anu whispered

“Ah”

“But Dadi will milk it no?”

“Ab Dadi LAUT nahi rahi Lucknow, kya karen? Jeena chhod dein?”

“sheesh Mum”

“Mum?” Anu giggled “Mum keh rahi ho?”

“Haan wahan unke saath Aurangabad jo rehkar aayi”

“Haan kaisa tha?”

“They want me to work for them”

“To ACHHA hai na? Le leti beta” anu turned holding the ladle in one hand turning to her

“Seriously?”

“They are ur in laws, why not?”

“Paapa ko achhi lagti yeh baat?” Viveka thought her parents had been kidnapped and replaced with some aliens

“they are your family” Anu looked puzzled

“Ma I want to do my PhD”

“Haan who baat alag hai beta” “Hand me that square bowl, Dadi doesn’t want what ever is cooked as usual she only wants khichri, Guddi is out buying paneer I have asked her to make it when she returns”

“Is she cooking every meal now?” Viveka hugged Anu

“Haan she stays here, her mother u know jo, Sharmila aunty ke yahan karti thi, kya naam hai uska, “

“Lochan?”

“Haan she is happy her daughter will be at a house with girls”

“tell Dadi we are the home of choice” Viveka and Anu laughed

“At least for ONE thing”

“Dadu was all praise for me two nights ago” Anu narrated the story

Viveka waited for Naina to return to hear all about it

Papa was delighted to see her as always they argued loudly over how RBI’s monetary policy announcement will affect bond yields

“Kidhar hain bhai aapke?” Papa was exhausted as they drank chai together

“They were all making some org structure changes in Aurangabad, and I think some case had a hearing, so busy I think

“Aaayenge na shaam ko pooja mein?”

“Papa main khud Shahpur Jat hokar 3 baje aayi”

“That’s fine, bulao beta I texted Satyen ji and Smrita ji”

Viveka texted Raanav

“Will you be able to make it?”

“U don’t want me to?” he sent a wiiide grin emoji

“What do u mean?” she pretended not to get his sarcasm

“See you at 7 Viveka Mathur”

“Thanks Parashar” she returned

He sent her many laughs

“Its for Naina’s job” she said after a while

“Ah”

“can I stay the night?’ Unusual to ask for permission about it… she was her own boss usually, he didn’t really keep tabs on where she went and did not

“You may not” he responded, exercising the power she had just granted him, Her heart skipped a beat

Naina walked in looking stunning as always, a bit startled to find Viveka she quickly gathered herself

I feel this urge to wrap up Raanav and Viveka under a blanket and just hide them somewhere.. faaaaarrrr faaarr away!! Particularly, Veev.. 🤗

They're uber cute!!

Viveka while birdwatching Smrita, her conversation with herself and Raanav when he's teasing her, messing with her.. verbally or physically ♥️♥️

“THEY went?” Viveka knew her twins 😆

“tell Dadi we are the home of choice” Viveka and Anu laughed 😛

It's great that Naina finally has things going for her.. but I don't understand her problem with Viveka. It's ironical that the one person who has been the most supportive and empathetic to Naina gets kicked the most by her!

I'm still waiting for the Naina that Viveka seems to be looking for..

Btw, I wish Smrita doesn't show up.

Nishaji, I love how you include simple family dynamics in your story.. I can't seem to say it enough, it makes it very real and relatable to me! ♥️

Growing up, we were pampered a LOT by our aunts and uncles on both sides of the family, still are... But I've always noticed my parents being extra cautious about reciprocating gifts, favours and such asap!

A very common thing, but this rarely comes up..

can I stay the night?’ Unusual to ask for permission about it… she was her own boss usually, he didn’t really keep tabs on where she went and did not

“You may not” he responded, exercising the power she had just granted him, Her heart skipped a beat

the warmest lines expressing their love and exercising the right they have over each other.

Viveka didn’t directly tell him she would love to go back with him but he sensed it 😍.
Nisha, it’s so so true. If someone is exercising right over you it’s due to our own power given to them.
This could work for and / or against you.
The power Ranaav have to Smrita over him, she is using against him. She might not think so but she is.
actually last update she was Lalita Pawar 😡.

I just want Ranaav to ensure that he keeps giving reasons to Viveka that she lets him exercise his rights over her.
