Thank you for seal on the deal Nisha.

Can you please also show Dhru's reaction?

Want to hear the child think or talk aloud.

My heart is melting ❤❤

Love & Lament

What a shock to Mru's system. She didn't see that coming. She must have expected to be blasted.

Somesh did the unthinkable already. But still how will he react to her family situation?

Poor Atty. Sweating and in panic mode. He has no idea.

Shocked & Sealed

You can breathe now Atty. Your dad has finally come around.

She has the approval but she is still scared. Not everything is out yet. Still a chance for things to derail.

Yes Tonight's part will be about Dhru's reaction

Three good things

“Are we going to Bangalore?” Jaidrith demanded curiously sitting next to his grandpa

“Umm.. if you want to” Aatreya smiled

He was relaxed and happy, stretched out on her divan yawning intermittently

She was inside texting Sameena begging her to stop her if she shouldn’t be marrying Atty

“I wont be hurt, just tell me OK?” “I don’t want to do this if this is a trap” “Do you feel this is a trap?”

Sameena was reassuring her between smiles

“I suspect you are going to be so happy you are even going to forget you asked me all this”

“Why? Did he say something?” “Do you know something?” she panicked

“Go spend the evening with your love, my mother will kill me if I talk to you some more I have to go eat dinner”

“can I get an emergency appointment tomorrow?” she was anxious

“No you may not, you are going to be fine”

“How do u know that”

“Because… I have no reason to suspect Aatreya of foul play”

“Apurva is not pregnant yet, Dhru goes back Monday for a few days, what if they all leave town with my Dhru”

“We can find them” “I even met Sharam Mhatre Aatreya’s boss”

“WHEN?”

“One day casually when I went to meet a friend at his bank”

“Oh”?”

“Please go Mrunal”

“Umm”

“Bye”

Sameena silenced notifications

Aatreya told his Amma and Apurva and Mihir the good news did a FT call

Somesh started reading newspapers on Mrunalini’s ipad

“Are you going to live in my mother’s house?” Dhru was a constant source of interruption

“No u will live in my son’s house” Somesh winked

Aatreya was seeing a new side of Pa

“Will you stay in this house then?” Dhru’s next question

“No… I will take Ajji and go back to Bangalore”

“Then who will live HERE?”

“Umm..” he looked up at his son

Aatreya smiled gently

“Hey bud… we can come by to get stuff whenever we want”

“But… my FRIENDS live here” he pointed to the now shut front door and began to wail loudly

Mrunalini rushed outside

“Dhru… shakkara”

Aatreya jumped up to go hold his son

“I cant leave this house Aai…majha yete mitra aahet (I have friends here now)

He let Aatreya hold him in a warm hug and was sobbing uncontrollably

Aatreya looked at her for transalation

“He has friends he is saying” Mrunalini was confused

“He asked me who will live in this flat” somesh came clean

“Shakkaraaa” Mrunalini was tearful too

This was all a big change

She owned everything here

She had shared nothing

“Umm.. Dhru” she whispered gathering him from Aatreya

“Aaai…. Āmhī gharālā kulūpa lāvū śakata nāhī” (We cannot lock this house)

“I get it” she nodded

“I can live here” he said quietly

Mrunalini was shocked

“In this flat?” she asked him as Somesh left to go use the bathroom

Aatreya nodded

“Its not big”

He looked at her meaningfully causing her to blush

“I am not talking about the bed” she mumbled

“I am saying I will be fine” he muttered gently stroking her cheek

“For how long?” she demanded

“Until he is ready to go back to Versova”

“So we are getting married?” she sought confirmation

“I hope so” he laughed

“Dhru… Dhru” he dodged burying his face in her belly “ata maajhe aika” (listen to me now)

“Aaai”

“Aata Maajhe aika” she whispered

Spent the next 20 minutes explaining how they both would learn to change

He only wanted Ulhas and Utkarsh, he had had no friends, he was getting two friends and a Dad all at the same time

Good things did come in threes

Innocence of child. Love Dhru.
