Anjali gets up from the bed.. paces in the room.. restless.. worried.. thinks, "The doctor must have left by now! I cannot just sit here! I must quickly.." she rushes out of the door.. into the corridor.. with worried heart, she peeks into Dadi's room. The door still open.. no one is to be seen.. She is taken off guard by NK, "Hey, Di! What's up?" Distracted, she says, "Nothing!.. Nothing at all!" "But, what are you doing out here?" NK asks, "You rest in your room, Di!.. and why are you so 'Haiwan-Pareshaan".. "Inhuman.- worried?" Anjali does not correct NK, does not say that it should be "Hairaan"..instead of Haiwan ' "Jittery.. agitated" Hmm.. will NK realize this? Anjali just says, still distracted, "Nothing at all! I am perfectly alright! Don't you worry!" NK explains with a smile, "It's just that, Di, someone just told me that you need to rest.. so, come on, Di! Rest, please!" Anjali tries to find a way out, "Ahh.. where is Dadi ji?" NK tells her, all animated, slurps an all, 'Dadi ji.. is downstairs.. having her tea with everyone!" NK turns around to take her to her room.. just then walks in Dadi ji.. into the hallway..
Worried, Anjali exclaims, "Dadi!" Bang comes up the "Stop" hand.. She tells Anjali, "I am going to my room!" and gives a stern look to Anjali.. that shuts Anjali up and surprises NK! Yes, normally Dadi is gentle on Anjali.. but, not now.. NK and Anjali watch her enter her room.. Anjali's breath stuck in her throat.. ! Nk says, "Di, shall we? Need rest, right? Let's go!" Anjali now worried, her eyes try to look inside the room, says, "..Aaa' aa.. NK Bhai, I was thinking of having the turmeric milk' that's what I was going to tell Hari Prakash ji.." "Oh, don't worry, Di! I am here! I will go!" Nk volunteers.. , "Let's go, come on!" tries again to bring her to her room..inside the room, "Sit down, Di!.. take it easy..OK.. That';s great!.. " then again all animated says, "Di. I will go like this and be back like it!.. You.. don't move from here! OK? " Gives her a thumps up and leaves.. Anjali makes sure that he is out of eye sight.. Gets up and leaves..
Shyam paces restlessly in Dadi's room.. He notices her coming to the room.. rushes to hide behind the long curtains.. Dadi walks into the room.. Pulls curtains closed behind her'The phone.. most likely Shyam's is still in her hand.. Anjali rushes worried to Dadi's room.. Dadi puts the phone down on the table when Shyam peaks in from behind the curtains to see who it is in the room..
At Buaji's: Khushi looks at the earrings Garima gave to her.. a smile flickers on her face.. she goes to put the earring into the pouch when her phone rings.., "Yes, Jiji!" "Jiji?" says Payal from the other side, " Who Jiji?" frowns Khushi at her words. As Payal goes on, "This is your younger sister-in-law speaking, senior sis-in-law!" "OK?" then she gets into the game and says cheerfully, "Oh, alright, younger sis-in-law!.. and whatever you want to say, make it quick! Because, in a few days I will come and snatch the keys from you!" True to Khushi... speaks like in the movies.. "And will make you serve me day and night!.. and I will torture you a lot!" Payal plays along, says in a mellow voice, "As per your command, senior sis-in-law!" Khushi smiles..as she hears Payal say, "By the way, I called to let you know that soon the ritual of your Mehendi will take place!.. simultaneously.. there will be a baby shower for Di!" That drains the happiness from Khushi's face.. Payal asks, "What happened?.. Why did my senior sis-in-law go quiet?" Khushi chirpily answers, "Jiji, it's a good thing that Di's baby shower is same day.. but.. Amma-Babuji won't be there!" "What?.. why?" asks Payal..
Buaji tells Garima as she wheels Shashi, "Garima, I have packed the tiffin with pickloes, dry potatoes and poories.. for the travel..Have it on the train, Shashi!" she says cheerfully. Then she asks, "Garima, did you talk to Arnav's folks?" Garima says, "Jiji, I called but no one picked up. May be they went out.." Just then walks in Khushi, on phone with Payal.. sits down to watch TV.. Buaji says, "Haye Nand Kisore.. you could have called again!.. Could have tried on the cell phone!" Calls Khushi, "Hey, Khushi! Give me the phone! .. Call Payal and have her talk to your Amma!" Khushi does not hear her, busy in her own conversation with Payal, "No, Jiji! The doctor is there for only a week! That's why Amma- Babuji must go now for the treatment!" "Means, Khushi.. Amma-Babuji won't be there for your wedding?" Payal asks in a mellow voice.. Buaji looks at Khsuhi with wide eyes.. , "Hey, Sanka Devi, what am I saying! Garima, take the phone from her and talk to them!" Khushi pays no attention to Buaji between the phone and TV.. next news captures her attention..Buaji and Garima's too..
"We have just come to know that due to heavy rains, all the trains going to Uttar Pradesh and Bihar have been cancelled! The rails are under water making the travel by trains difficult." Khushi tells Payal that she would cal her later on. Hangs up..Listens to the news.. " Due to the cancellations on trains.. many passengers have been stranded.. Government says that it may take two to three days to see any improvement in the conditions.. The Government has declared their concerns about the difficulties passengers are experiencing.. " Buaji thinks out loud, "Hey Nand Kisore. This means.. .. the night train also won't go!" Garima panics, surprises Buaji and Khushi by her reaction, "How can this happen? We must go!.. This means, we will have to take the bus!.. or.. " Buaji gets up and says, "Have you gone crazy? You will take Shashi on the bus? Won't he suffer?".. Khushi smiles and says, "Seems to me that this is the wish of Devi Maiyya!.. that you be present for my wedding!" Garima shakes her head with despair.. Khushi gently touches her face and says, "Amma, this doctor will go somewhere from Lucknow.. you can go there for Babuji's treatment!" Chirpily she declares, "As it stands right now, it seems to me that you both will be there for my wedding!" Buaji says happily, "All your wishes are coming true, Sanka Devi!.. A great guy.. a nice family.. that you are getting married into.. and. The blessings in your wedding from your Amma-Babujji!.. So, happy now?" Khushi smiles and happily hugs Shashi.. Garima's face gets drowned in worries. As chirpily Khushi says, "I am very happy, Buaji!" Buaji says, "You know, Sanka Devi, you are very lucky! .. Because, Arnav will go any length for your happiness.." A happy smile adorns Khushi's face when something dawns upon her. "Just a minute.. I will be back!" she picks up her phone and runs inside her room.. Buaji keeps asking for the phone as she disappears in her room.. Garima wonders, worried, "What should I do?"
Back at RM: Dadi strolls away from the curtains.. Shyam again peaks in from behind the curtain when Dadi says, her back still to the curtains, "Next time.. be careful with your phone.. Damad ji.. son-in-law!" Shocked Shyam slowly comes out from behind the curtains.. as Dadi turns around to look at him. Her eyes challenging. Mysterious.. Shyam's face apprehensive.. some worry.. a feeling of not knowing what to expect reflects on his face.. he trades the water carefully as he moves forward.. Dadi meets his eye and closes in on the distance between them.. Just then enters the room Anjali.. worried she looks in.. her face changes from worried to shocked when she realizes that Shyam is face to face with Dadi.. Shocked.. she watches what happens next in front of her with disbelief.. Shyam bends down to touch Dadi's feet to seek her blessings.. Dadi says, "Be Happy!" blesses him. Shyam stands right back up.. Anjali is thrown into a whirlwind of unknown.. her vulnerable mind.. gets churning again. With hundreds of emotions and unanswered questions.. She takes couple steps forward, with disbelief, she utters, "You?,' You and Dadi ji..?" Dadi looks at her.. says nothing.. Shyam looks at Dadi.. his eyes ask her a question.. Dadi nods in 'yes'.. Shyam turns around, walks up to shocked, lost Anjali.. looks at Dadi ji again.. Anjali's gaze follows his gaze to Dadi..
The Evil Envelopes the Vulnerable and the Shrewd: Shaym gently supports Anjali with one hand around her waist on her back and hold another in his hand.. as he walks her over to Dadi slowly.. says in a gentle voice, "Do you remember what you had told me, Rani Sahiba?" He reminds her, "If anyone can understand me in this family, it's Dadi ji!!" Anjali's feet stop for a moment. Dadi nods pleasantly at her.. Shaym walks her over to dadi and dramatically presents her, "Dadi ji!" with a hand stretched.. Anjali's eyes well up .. she looks at Shyam.. his eyes full iof affection.,. his face covered with smile. Looks at her adoringly, as she asks, "You. You.. Dadi ji.." Shyam keeps smiling at her.. Dadi walks over to her and says, "Dear, Damad ji searched for me! Told me about whatever happened here!.. He told me that whatever happened here is a huge misunderstanding!' Anjali's eyes well up further as some tears trickle down her face, Dadi continues, "And I realized right away, that I needed to come here to restore your life! That's why I came here!" Anjali remembers how Dadi had assured her on her arrival that her return was going to fix everything!.. She asks Shyam , "You brought Dadi ji?" then turns to Dadi, "And,.. Dadi, you know everything?" Dadi ji nods with understanding.. Anjali hugs Dadi. Dadi comforts her as the evil watches on.. Dadi says to Anjali as she separates, "Now you know, Anjali, how much your Shyam loves you?" Anjali turns to Shyam and says, "I know! I know how much my husband loves me!" Shyam smiles at her affectionately. Dadi says, "And very soon, the whole family will know this!. I will make them understand that Damad ji. Is a great husband.. a good person.. and a great human being!". She says to Shyam, "I will help you get your position back in this house!" Anjali cries as Shyam looks at Dadi ji with a smile on his face.. "I will fulfill my promise to you!" Shyam immediately says to dadi with a broad smile on his face, 'Thank You, Dadi ji!" dadi nods in acceptance.. Shyam says to Anjali, "I just want my Rani Sahiba.. to be happy!.. and her health.. " then he looks at her with a bit of worry and asks, "Rani Sahiba, what did the doctor say?.. You were not feeling well, right?" Anjali answers, "I am perfectly fine! You know, the doctor said that I don't need to take those medications anymore.. " Shyam recalls the efforts he went through to tamper with her medication.. "Listen," Anjali says with caution, "Chhotey must be coming! I think, you should get going!" "Yes!" says Shyam. Dadi says, "Damad ji, things may get worsen if you meet this way .. sneaking into the house.. In my opinion, you both should go out after a while.." "Yes, Dadi ji!" agrees Shyam.. "I will go out and check if someone might see you while leaving!" "Yes, Dadi ji!" Shyam says.. Dadi adds, "Dear, I just want your and Arnav's happiness!".. Ahh.. little does Dadi know, Khushi mein hi dono ki Khushi hai! "That's it! I am going to hold Anjali's baby shower soon! This will be great for your return home.. " Anjali's face brightens with hope.. Shyam thinks.. smiles back. "I will come!" Dadi leaves them alone..
Anjali says, "I can't believe it!.. There is someone else now to support us in this house! Now you just come back home soon!.. I am very confident that Dadi will help us!" Anjali hugs Shyam.. He comforts her.. raises his ugly head.. his evil eyes.. shower.. rage,.. deceit' and hatred.. He thinks to himself, "Dadi ji, you have not recognized me either!.. You haven't even understood that you have been brought in this house.. only and only for my motive!.. so that I can return in this house with your help! .. But if you feel that just for a simple baby shower the family will accept me then you are mistaken, big time!.. I will utilize you when I will go in for the big thing.. the biggest explosion! That's when I will need you!" Then he separates Anjali from himself and cups her face.. looks at her with adoring gaze but thinks, "Because.. what I will do now is going to be so dangerous that everyone will be left surprised.. stunned.. and they will have no option but to get me back!.. that's when they will listen you!" Dadi comes back..suggests, "Damad ji, you leave from the back door!" "Yes, Dadi ji!" Shyam says politely.. Then he says to Anjali, "Rani Sahiba, I will see you in the evening.. same place.. that we decided on..What is this, Rani Sahiba, why are you so scared? Now we have Dadi ji with us! I will take your leave now.. Thank You, Dadi ji!" He picks up his phone and leaves.. Anjali and Dadi hug. Each other..
At GH: Khushi sits in front of Devi Maiyya.. counts money.. says to Devi Maiyya, "Devi Maiyya.. Aranv ji did so much for me.. agreed to all the rituals.. he even came to the temple for me.. Prayed.. accepted 'teerth'.. the holy water..! So, I must also do something for him! For that.. " she shows the money.. A beautiful smile adorns her face'.as she puts the money away, a thought occurs to her.. she says to herself, "Wow, I did not know that I was so rich!" She starts counting money again.. then stops and picks up the phone.. dials.. Arnav picks up the phone.. in office.. his eyes till on his computer screen.. "Hello!" Khushi clears her throat and says in a bold, strong voice, "Mr. Arnav Singh Raizada, what are you doing in two hours?" Amused, Arnav answers, "I have a video conference in two hours.." "No! In two hours, you are meeting with me at.. hotel the purple.." she struggles to see what is written on a small piece of paper.. apologizes, " Forgive me!.. I mean' 'Purple Orchid' .. exactly in two hours!" "What?" Arnav asks surprised.. "What the!.. Will meet at 'Purple Orchid'.." Khushi says and shuts the phone off! With a faint smile on his lips Arnav puts the phone away.. about to start work when the phone rings again.. He picks it up, "Hello!" Now speaks the cute, sweet Khushi, "Arnav ji, you will come, right?" "Yes.. I guess.. " he says.. brings a smile to Khushi's face'she hangs up again..
Arnav walks into his room.. throws his jacket away.. rushes to his closet' starts going through his clothes.. he hears a crunch of sound.. he turns around to find NK.. walking in
.. munching on his chips.. Arnav goes back to looking through his clothes.. Nk calls, "Nannav.. Mere Bhai.. My bother..Selecting clothes?" Arnav answers in his own style' "What will I do otherwise in a cupboard?" "Oh, sorry!" Nk apologizes.. Aranv turns again. NK goes, "By the way,.. what's the matter?...what is it today.. something big?.. big date..?.. a..aa'big date/" he pokes Arnav in the back several times while asking'"Yes!" comes Arnav's answer.. NK's eyes go wide, "Haaan'. With whom?" Even though he really should not be talking, Arnav answers, 'Obviously, with Khushi!" "Wow!" NK gets all excited.. puts his chips away on the bed and grabs Aranv on the shoulder, asks, "Where?,.. where.. where?" "Purple Orchid!" Aranv reveals..
Anjali .. all dressed up in a beautiful blue saree.. on the phone.. says, "Yes, I know, where Purple Orchid is!" Shyam says, "I feel so bad, Rani Sahiba! I am bothering you in such condition of yours!" "Oh, No! No!.. You know, in fact, if I don't see you then I get upset!" Anjali says, "But today!.. I was very scared today! What if anyone would have seen you?" "Rani Sahiba, in this condition, any kind of stress is not god for you!.. Do one thing,.. Get to Purple Orchid. We will sit and talk there peacefully..alright?" Shyam suggests. .. "OK, see you!" Anjali says. An evil smile appears on the face of Shyam..
NK looks at the spread of clothes Aranv has on the bed.. he gets up and says, 'Wow, Nannav! That's great! But tell me one thing! Do you have nothing else in your life other than black suits?.. I mean.,. What the!" Arnav looks at him, says, "Of course, there is!" He picks one up, "Gray Suit!" NK reacts to it with sarcasm, "Oh! This gray suit.. like.. Wow, Ya?.. Anyways.. anyways.,. let it be' You know, Nannav, you need to borrow clothes from me!" Arnav looks at him with surprise.. eye brows raised.. , "Relax, Ok!" says NK, "Cool down! .. it's like.. you won't be able to handle my style!" Arnav looks at him with amusement and apprehension mixed as he continues, "If you want to look a bit different then.. if need some change.. then also you put on black!... It's just that.. black is better than black!". He giggles and pokes Aranv into his belly several times.. Arnav clenches his teeth, says, "Stop it!" NK pretends to stop and pokes once more before leaving..
Late into the evening.. Anjali descends the stairs.. when comes a voice, 'Di!" Anjali's feet stop with worries.. it's Arnav.. Arnav gets down to her, "Where are you going?" Being asked unexpectedly, she thinks for a moment before answering, "Chhotey, I thought of giving invitations to some friends for the baby shower myself!.. That's why.. I was leaving.. " "Come, I will drop you off!" Arnav offers' "No, No, Chhotey! No need.." Arnav looks at her with surprise, but controls himself quickly, says, "That's OK, Di! Relax!.. By the way, where were you going?" Anjali again thinks for a few moments.. "Vasant Kunj'" "Great!" Arnav says, 'That's on my way, come!" he holds her lightly, as they turn around and start climbing down the stairs, "What did you think, that I would let you go alone this late at night?" Just then comes a stern voice, "Who is going alone, Arnav?" Anjali and Arnav turn around.. it's Dadi!
