The political connections who is pushing for this, why don't they give their own money to the couple?

Conflict of interest. Thats a smart way out of this for Atty. But he is right that the bank will get pushed into making a bad loan.

Atty mentions meeting someone and the first thing Mru thinks is she will be meeting a girl. A competitor.

2 boys 1 girl & Atreya

Mallika Mhatre was cheerful and talkative, she in fact opened the door

Aatreya was trying to set something in the oven so didn’t run to the door fast enough

She was smitten by Dhru

“You both look like twins” she smiled at Mrunalini

“20 years apart, 23… no 24”

She stared at Mallika dumbfounded, she wondered how long she knew Aatreya and why Aatreya didn’t tell her anything about this woman

“I got here early” she shrugged

“I had to take a train all the way across town from Chembur”

“That’s not too far” Mallika nodded

Aatreya turned off the exhaust and stepped out

“Where is Dhru” he demanded

“In his room” Mrunalini pointed, the door was shut

“Hate sthe exhaust?” he laughed

“Hmm”

Mrunalini looked at Mallika pointedly

“Oh yes… Mallika Mhatre, Mrunalini Ghatge” he smiled

Both women shook hands

“Ive done all the talking BTW” Mallika reminded him poking his arm

“Oh?” “Well I know she talks”

“Do u” Mrunalini smiled

She wanted to know who this woman was

Mallika trailed them for the next 20 minutes, then suddenly got a call and stepped into the ocean front balcony

“Who is she?”

“I just intro—”

“I mean WHO is she?” Mrunalini smiled “She has ur nature… extrovert and funny”

“Thanks?”

“Dhru didn’t know her”

“Oh?” Aatreya tried not to laugh

“Does she work with you?”

“Nope” he was just busy cooking… laa-dee-daa

She was anxious and irritable

“Do u want Dhru to stay?”

“Umm.. if u wish” he shrugged looking at her holding a ladle

That’s it! He wants to have a peaceful romp in the bed

Ughhh!!

“No huh?”

“Umm.. ur choice” he muttered going back to look at his recipe”

“WHAT are u making”

“Just simple Italian”

“Simple huh?”

“Are u upset?” he growled

“Umm.. no… just having a bout of anxiety” she looked out into the balcony off the kitchen window

“she is great u will like her I promise”

“Are u paying her to like me?” she chuckled

“Not yet” he said grimly, his eyes cold

“I am sorry”

“Grab a drink and be quiet, I am not going to fight with you now” he whispered

“It would be funny if she came in and found us screeching and clawing each others’ eyes out” she chuckled

“She wouldn’t mind”

“U think? Co parenting is tough I guess” Mrunalini agreed with him

“Do u want her to like u?” he was still mocking

“Umm.. no… nobody likes me usually” chuckling

He was ready to explode at such self pity comments

“I know Dhru hates u the most” he muttered

“Did he say anything?” she held his stirring hand

“Would u stop?” he warned

“My son doesn’t like me and its normal?”

“I was joking” he gestured with his left hand

“Umm..”

“Get out and grab a drink, I stuck 3 bottles of wine in the fridge”

“Did she bring?”

“No she brought nothing”

“Ur women usually show up empty handed?” laughing

“So u ARE MY woman?” he clapped back

Mallika accosted her

“My kids” she rolled here yes

“You have KIDS?” Mrunalini was not happy”

Dhru was going to be bullied now

“How could he date a woman with KIDS?”

She was fuming

“How old?”

“14 and 11” “ boy and a girl”

“Nice”

NOTTTT Nice… her inside voice screamed

“They will be here soon, u will see” Mallika uncorked a wine

“My son is very shy” Mrunalini accused

20 minutes later, when Aatreya was stepping out of Dhru’s room after chatting with him and handing him some appys

There was aknock on the door

Mrunalini was ready to be sick she headed to the bathroom

Two boys anda girl and Aatreya? she hated that very thought

Sharan brought his kids from the soccer game……..

Two boys anda girl and Aatreya? she hated that very thought

🤣

Would be super fun when Jealous Mrunalini comes to know the truth.

“How could he date a woman with KIDS?”🤣

matlab he would introduce you: the woman he has proposed to for marriage, to the woman he is dating🤣

VP hai yaar bank ka kuch toh izzat kar Mru

“men will never take u seriously”

Atty has just proved her Mom wrong.

Right from the day he accepted to himself about how he felt for her, he has been proving Falguni wrong.

But the imprint left by uncaring and vicious behaviour of her mother are too deep.

“I know Dhru hates u the most” he muttered

Whenever she starts getting these jokes of Atty, it would indicate how secure & comfortable she now is with him.

Mallika opened the door while Atty was in the kitchen. Probably reminded Mru of the time Shy opened the door like that.
