Hi Guys...😊
I have written the longest chapter by far.. and that's saying a lot.. this one has less KaYu.. sorry about that..🤢 i am kinda depressed as the manga I was reading was axed off in the middle.🤢

Chapter: 8

Leela saw that low caste girl get in temple.. Hey ram.. why did this arrogant girl come now?..She better not touch her or else this kriya would be wasted.

Kaali came near panditji and enquired about the list. Panditji looked at Aman. He had to lie to such innocent girl. But he knew shri Ram wold forgive him as it was for a good thing. He gave her the list and went off. Kaali stood in front of Ramji... Why? Why was Yug doing this? Why doesn't he realise by doing this he is not just hurting his Dadi but he is hurting even him. What should she do to make him understand...

***********

Gauri started crying. The brakes failed. She couldn't control her car. She was going to die. She was going to die in a horrible manner. The car was speeding towards a slope. She wanted Kaali near her. If Kaali was with her she would have been safe. "HELP ME!! KAALI... SAVE ME!! SAVE ME PLEASE... KAALI!! WHERE ARE YOU... SAVE ME..."

**************

Kaali suddenly felt her heart beat fast. It felt as though someone was calling her. She turned to find no one behind her. Somehow she felt restless. Her thoughts settled on Gauri. "Hey Ramji.. Why is that I am feeling scared all of a sudden.. Hope Gauri is not in any danger...please don't let Gauri be in any trouble... Please protect my family and friends". She thought to call gauri to make sure she is safe. Just when she was about to leave the temple to call Gauri, a coconut rolled towards her. She picked it up and saw that it was from an old woman. Someone just collided with her and the coconut fell off from her thali. Kaaali went to return it. "I think it is your coconut." The old lady turned to reveal herself. It was Dadi. The moment she saw Kaali she started screaming. "HAI RAM!!! AYE LADKI.. WHAT DID I DO TO YOU? WHAT ENIMITY DO YOU HAVE AGAINST ME? WHY DID YOU TOUCH THE COCONUT.." Dadi was screaming and scolding Kaali in front of everyone.

**************

Gauri didn't know what to do other than screaming. "Gauri??" A voice came as a relief for Gauri.

"Gauri.. what's happening.." It was Yash on a Jeep. He looked really worried. Gauri screamed, "Yash!!!.. The brakes.. Save me... Please help me.. save me..". "Don't Panic!!" Yash screamed at her. "Don't panic??? How can I not?? I am going to die...I am really going to die.."

Yash shouted at her. "Gauri.. SHUT UP!!! Listen to me.. no matter what happens... I'll not let you die... Do you understand?" Gauri looked at Yash. He was driving beside her. She nodded. Yash looked ahead. There was a steep slope in front of them. He should do things fast. "Gauri... Turn the car to low gear first." Gauri nodded and changed the gear. The car went a little slow but it was still not stopping. Yash asked, "did you try the hand brake.." She tried. But it was in vain. The car was still moving. "It's not stopping.. What should I do? Yash!! Save me.." Yash looked at the slope. There was no way he could push her into a safe spot now. He had no other choice. It may be dangerous but it may still work. "Gauri.. I'll drive closely.. Open your door and get into the Jeep." Gauri screamed, "What? With the car still moving? I'll fall off and die.. Nooo.. just stop my car..."

Yash shouted at her again. "Gauri don't waste time.. Just trust me.. I'll not let you die.. open your door. Gauri there is no time left. Gauri.. open... NOW!!!" Gauri removed her seatbelt and opened her door. Her heart raced. She felt scared. She tried to reach the Jeep. Yash hold her hand. He was steering with one hand and pulling her with another. And after a lot of effort, Yash managed to bring Gauri in his Jeep. He stopped the jeep. Gauri's car moved down the slope.. after sometime it tumbled and rolled down. Gauri looked as her car crashed down. She would have been in that crash if it wasn't for Yash. She would have died.

**************

Manjiri looked at Yug as he was talking to Chachi. When she asked Yug about the phone call, he just replied with a smile, "Pishimaa.. I can't say you anything because you may disagree with my methods. But Pishimaa... I ensure you that I am not doing anything wrong.." Manji knew her Yug, he wouldn't do anything without thinking. But what was he planning? Yug was eating matar. He asked after sometime, "Chachi.. Why are you training Di in cooking... It's not necessary.. there are servants in Jha house.. There is no need for her to cook." Chachi and Manji was busy cooking the lunch. "Yug, You don't understand. These are some qualities a daughter in law of the house. If she can cook then she can bring the family together." Yug nodded. "So... Di should learn only how to cook. There is nothing else.." Chachi shook her head, "No.. yug.. There are more things she have to learn. She have learn how to do pooja, how to talk to people.." Yug smiled. "So... as she is going to be Bahu of a big astrologer.. Everyone will expect her to know all the vidhi and kriya.. right?" "Not everything but she should know the basics.. " "Like the arrangements for tomorrow's Barsi.." Yug asked.

Chachi nodded. "But Chachi.. I don't think Di is capable for doing that.." Yug said as he ate more matar. Chachi defended, "Why not? Your sister will do it... Arree!! she is going to be the Bahu of that house.. If she can't do small arrangements for Barsi.. then Jha babu and his family would think bad of her. I'll make her do it. I'll also ask Maaji's permission. Sharmila should understand her position." Chachi said with determination. Manji looked at Yug. Yug should know that Sharmila would not like to do it. Why did he make chulbuli think that? What was his plan? Yug had a quick lunch. When he was about to leave Aman called him and informed about the success of his plan. "Of course.. Kali acted just as I thought.. It's her nature.. Thanks Aman.. Now you better leave the place before Kali see you.. I am off to do next part of the plan." Manji listened to everything. She had no idea what Yug's plan was. Where was Yug going?

*****************

Dadi was screaming, "WHY DID YOU TOUCH THE COCONUT?? A person who doesn't know her caste or kull... you are the worst of all kind... If you touch the coconut, it would be impure now.. just like you.." Kali turned to leave. She didn't want to make dadi any more angry.. She felt hurt but she did not want to say anything back. "What an arrogant old woman.." said a person in the temple loud enough so that everyone can listen to it. Dadi looked at the person. She was angry, "What did you call me? Do you know who I am?" "You are nothing but an old miserable creature who keeps hugging her caste.." said that person. The girl beside him agreed, "Yes, that girl was only trying to help you but you insulted her... You are really cruel... " Dadi looked shocked but did not say anything. Another woman in the temple insulted her, "A heartless person like you should not have entry in this temple..How can you even call yourself Ramji's Bakth.." "These kind of people are the reason our country is not progressing." Everyone in the temple was using harsh words at Dadi. She was never insulted this way before. Tears started welling up in her eyes. "How come her family puts up with her." "She don't even have love in her heart, it's only caste and andhvishwas.." "Why doesn't she just die?" said a guy.

"STOP IT!!!" It was Kaali. She went and slapped that guy. "Just stop doing this.. agar aap logon me se kisi ne bhi kuch aur kaha toh mujhse bura aur koi aur nahi hoga... What happened to you all? Can't you see she is as old as your grandmother?.. How can you treat her like that?" Dadi looked at it. That low caste girl was protecting her. That guy who got slapped retorted, "Why you? I was supporting you and how dare you slap me?" Kaali looked at him with disgust. "No.. You were not supporting me.. You were just insulting her. And I will not allow it. She is a person who is greatly respected by my father. She is the Grandmother of my friend and I respect her a lot..." Dadi couldn't believe her ears. That girl, the girl who was always against her work, respected her. How was that possible?

"You respect her? This woman is full of superstitions... she just insulted you in front of everyone and you are supporting her. Our country is rotting because of people like you.. Instead of fighting against superstitions, you are protecting these kind of people..."

Kaali said, "So what should I do? Insult elder people? I don't wish to stoop that low. What would you do if it was your mother who was standing here instead of her? Would you just stand there letting everyone insult her? Answer me... You would not... Same way she is also a mother.. a grandmother.. she loves her family just like every mother in the world. And insulting her is just like insulting your mother." The was about to say something but Kaali silenced him by raising her finger, "Just remember, Ramji would not ever forgive those who hurt someone this cruelly. If you ever want to live peacefully then ask for her forgiveness." The guy just looked at Kaali and then Dadi. "I'm sorry." He muttered. Dadi looked away from him. She turned to leave. The things told by those people were still haunting her. Their words were raising many questions in her heart. Was she such a burden for her family? That girl protected her even though she would never like her presence. When she reached near the car she heard a call, "Choudrainji.. Please wait" Leela looked. It was that girl. She didn't address her Dadi', that means she remember what Leela had asked her to do. Kaali stood in front of her and folded her hands. "I am sorry. If I had not touched the coconut then this would not have happened. I am really sorry. Hope this doesn't affect the wedding." Leela looked at her. This girl really liked her sister and her family. "I'll do anything but please do not let this affect Gauri's life. Please.."

Dadi stopped her. "I do not wish to cancel this wedding but day after tomorrow, on the day of Pooja there should be no bad omens. Do you understand? Hawa mein baat nahin kar rahein, Pati ghoye hain hum.." Kaali nodded. Leela couldn't understand this girl. "Aye ladki.. Just tell me something, you are also like them. You also think my beliefs are stupid. You stopped me from taking Agnipareeksha of Gauri. Then why did you not stop them from insulting me. After all what they were saying was exactly your words." Kaali shook her head. "Choudrainji... I don't know what you feel about me but there is no way I would let you be insulted. My Badke Papa respects you. You are my friend, Yug's grandmother. He respects you a lot. If you get hurt then your family would also get hurt. And no matter what everyone says, I know you love your family very much... More than your life.." These words touched Leela's heart. Kaali continued, "And about superstitions... I am still against the belief that works against humanity. If I don't I would be cheating your grandson, Yug. He was the one who asked me to fight for what is right. I was supported by him each and every time I was in trouble. So I would be fighting against your beliefs if ever it threatens to hurt my loved ones. But I do not believe fighting fire with fire. Superstitions cannot be removed by force. It can only be destroyed by the power of knowledge and love." Leela did not say anything. She sat into the car and left. This girl was surely a puzzle.

*************

Yash drived down the slope and stopped beside the Gauri's car. It was a disaster. He took out a kerchief and covered his face. He took the important things such as mobile and license and other important stuff. When he returned Gauri was vomiting. She was way too scared. He gave her the water. "This water tastes different." She said as she drank it. "Naturally.. That water is 4 months old.." "What?" Gauri spit the water. Yash started laughing, "I was just joking.. Chachi mixed ORS into it. It is fresh.." Gauri couldn't understand him, "I was about to die and you are joking..."

"But the important thing is you did not die... so enjoy that part now. Cheer up." Gauri hugged him. "Thanks Yash.. I was.. I was really scared. I thought I would die. I didn't want to die.. I shouldn't have left without Kaali.." Yash patted her. "You know what? When Bhai told me about your Kaala Teeka superstition, I thought you were stupid. Really a big stupid. But seeing this, I cannot blame you. Maybe you were saved by Kaali almost every time you were in danger, making you believe that belief. Even if I had those experiences, I would also have believed that. But that's just wrong...Kaali is not your Kaala teeka." Gauri left him. "But Kaali saves me every time. She even feels it when I am in some kind of danger. When I am with her, I feel protected." "And when I am with Bhai I feel protected. If Bhai hadn't intervened then I would have been married at my 11^th standard. When Sheena's dad caught us red handed doing..."

He looked at Gauri and cleared his throat. "The point is...I am not married yet and Bhai has always saved me from sticky situations. But that does not mean he is my Kaala teeka. Kaali saves you because a) you are a damsel in distress and b) she loves you so much. Heck I just saved your life does that mean I am your Kaala teeka?" Gauri looked at him thoughtfully. Kaali was not her Kaala Teeka? "Let's go.. we need to buy you a band-aid and a dress. It's torn in the behind." Yash got into the Jeep. "Why didn't you say so?"

*************

Kaali reached house after some time. When she heard Gauri was not in the house, she got tensed. Jogi asked her not to worry, "She would be fine." Kaali thought of Kalyani Taiji.. "I'll just call her." She called Gauri. "Hello Gauri.. where are you?... Shopping?... With yash? Are you alright.. Ok... Ok.. i am not worrying.. come soon." Kaali cut the call and informed Jogi. Purohitji couldn't believe it. "Gauri is really alright?" He asked. Kaali smiled and said, "Yes.. She wanted her revenge from Yash and is making him pay for her shopping..." Kaali couldn't say anymore as a loud noise came from Neel's room. They all rushed towards the room. Neel broke a photo frame. It was Jogi's Photo. "What are you doing?" Jogi shouted. Neel said with his eyes filled with anger, "You are ashamed to call me your son right? But on what grounds should I call you my father? When did you ever fulfil the duties of a father? You left my mother and me when I was not even born.. When my mother left me, you came back but you never tried to come near me.. Your new wife treated me like trash but you never saw it... you never looked out for the kids in this house. You just dumped your responsibilities in the name of your devotion. But let me tell you..you would never get result of your devotion. Because your devotion was a way for you to escape.. escape from your responsibilities.." "Neelu Bhaiya.." kaali tried to calm him but Neel silenced her. "Don't stop me today Kaali.." he looked at Jogi, "Let me say you one thing.. God does not help those people who want to escape. It was because of your negligence that the kids in this house suffered all these years. It was because of you that I became like this. But I will not follow your footsteps.. I will take my responsibility and solve everything." Neel left the room. Kaali went behind him. Jogi didn't understand what Neel said but he knew that the word were true. What did Neel by the torture of kids? Did Kalyani not give them love? With this thoughts Jogi went out. He saw Purohitji talking to someone on phone. Jogi decided to ask him.

"Kalyani bahu.. Your plan failed again.. Gauri is still alive." These words from purohitji shocked Jogi. He hid behind the wall and listened to it. "What do you mean .. it was not my fault.. I destroyed the brakes just as you asked me.. How would I know who rescued her? We don;'t have any other option but to do something on the day of pooja. Plan it carefully if you want Gauri's wedding broken." Jogi couldn't believe his ears. They were plotting against Vishwa? But why would Kalyani do that? Jogi had to find it out.

***********

To calm down Gauri, Yash totally had to give her a retail therapy. Gauri made him buy anything she wanted. They spent the whole afternoon in the mall. Gauri and Yash had so much fun. They joked, played and laughed. Often Gauri caught Yash flirting with some girl.(What? She was just smiling at my joke...) Then Yash took her to his Base'. This was the place where he and his friends met. It was a uninhabited fort.. that too in jungle. As soon he reached there, he left her to join with his gang. Gauri went and sat beside Piya. They talked a lot. When asked if she ever regretted her decision she replied. "I don't ever regret it. It was my dream and I really worked hard for it. It was really hard to make a place in the industry.It was equally hard to convince my parents..." "You parents were against fashion designing?" Gauri asked. "No.. They just wanted me to get married but I did not want to marry at that time..I was rejected by Yash back then. And I couldn't get over that monkey at that time." Piya said looking at that monkey', who was now dancing on one foot as a dare. Gauri looked at her, "You love Yash!" Piya shook her head. "I used to love him. But he rejected me. He said I was only a friend for him. I was torn apart. I couldn't handle it. So I decided to go somewhere far away. Let's just say I was just trying to escape... Then it was mopping around... Mubai.. Fashion designing.. Paris.. Vicky.. his stupid racing...and then Everything just settled itself.. I realised my love for Vicky.. and when he proposed I quickly accepted. I really love Vicky.. "

"Hey.. Gauri... Kaali just called. She strictly ordered me to take you home fast. It seems it's already late." Gauri exchanged quick bye with everyone and they both left. While going back she wondered, how could Yash possibly reject Piyali..

********

Yug reached his house quite late. Paying off those people was really tiresome. Arun, the guy who got slapped, asked more. He went to dadi's room. She was sleeping. He touched her feet and said, "I'm really sorry Dadi for hurting you like this." When he reached outside he felt his determination lag a bit. He called Kali. The phone rang for some time. She did not pick up. He knew she was hesitating. He tried again. This time she picked. "Hello Kali.." kali said a small hello. "Kali.. Can I ask you a something?" "Hmmm.." "Kali.. Do you ever regret meeting me?" Kali didn't even hesitate when she replied, "Of course not.. No matter how much we disagree on our methods, I still feel happy that I know you. I feel I can always depend on you. I trust you and I respect you.." Yug felt elated. He can continue his plan. He wanted to say her how much he loves her."Kali.." "Yug, Gauri has just reached. I'm cutting the call." And she cut the call. Yug smiled. The plan would go as usual tomorrow. He had made the arrangements for it. He had a light dinner and went off to meet his sister. Sharmila threw a pillow at him. "Di what happened?" yug asked. Sharmila took another pillow and started beating him. "I'll tell you what happened. Dadi asked me to do the arrangements for tomorrow's Barsi all by myself.. and all thanks to you.." Sharmila bet him with pillow again and again. Things didn't help much when Yash entered the room with a big "BEDROOM FIGHT!!" and started a three way pillow fight.

Chulbuli was looking at them with love. It's been such a long time since her daughter has laughed and played. Everything will settle down soon. Her house will regain its happiness. She was sure as she saw her kids played around the room.

Thanks a lot dear.. 😊
I understand that waiting kills.. I try to update soon...

Umm.. About KaYu.. as you would have noticed.. my romance scene kinda sucks...I try writing them fairly... but when I read them, they feel mechanical somehow.. I mean it does not get the right feel to it..
But that's the reason I am writing as much as possible to overcome my weakness..

Of course I'll add more KaYu scenes... I promise.. After all I can't pursue my dreams if I let this genre stop me..
Romance it is my friend.. You said it, you will get it..

I tried my best to keep KaYu realistic and fun.. Please do say how you feel about it. this is also a long chapter.. I am in middle of a break so I have much time..beware this chapter contains spiritual lines too..

DISCLAIMER: i have no much detailed knowledge about pooja and their vidhi..so if you think that i wrote something which may oppress any hindu religious custom, it was purely unintentional. apologies for any one who got hurt.

Chapter 9

"Manji Maa do you know what happened yesterday night?" Kaali asked Manji on the phone the next morning. She was on the way to temple. "Gauri hugged me and said sorry... Yes, She came home with yash and she looked so happy. She hugged and sobbed. She even apologised for the Aryan incident. I think Manji maa.. Our Gauri is still pure at heart. She was feeling bad all this time. Kalyani Taiji did not have much effect on her good nature. " Manji maa agreed, "I know Kali.. both my daughters are avatars of devi maa.. " Kali reached the temple. She cut the call after c. She remembered what Gauri told her yesterday.

"I'm sorry Kaali.. I felt so jealous.. Yug felt cheerful around you. And me too.. I can't put up a proper conversation with him. We always are so awkward with each other... I am so sorry... Because of me.. your life would have been destroyed.. I am so sorry.. so sorry.. Please forgive me.. sorry kali.. "

Kaali prayed in front of the idol. She knew Gauri really regretted her actions. She was also not be blamed. Kaali was also being careless around Yug. She should have maintained her distance. Yug's declaration.. his words... Yug was really determined. Kaali had to stop him. She had to make him understand. But nowadays they were meeting near temple. "Ramji... should I stop coming to temple?" she asked. "Don't punish Ramji because of me.." Yug's voice came from behind. Kaali turned to face a smiling Yug. She remembered yesterday's words. She couldn't look into his eyes. "If you stop visiting him, Ramji may not even feel like brightening up the day.. After all how can he not see his favourite devotee's face." She was still looking down. She tried to move away but he blocked her. He came closer and whispered, "Forget about Ramji.. I can't even eat food if I don't see your face..If I don't hear your voice.." Kaali felt her heart race. Yug was doing it again. She better escape fast. She tried to move again but Yug blocked her again. "Don't worry.. I won't do anything to you today. I am just here to make you meet someone.." Kaali looked up. Yug pointed towards his back. It was Sharmila. "Di wants your help... O.K.. then.. I better go fast before Yash escape..." Yug left. Kaali looked at the retreating figure of Yug. Why did she feel that something was different about him? Yug turned back and winked at Kaali. She blushed furiously. Things didn't escape Sharmila's eyes. Yug, was he flirting with Kaali?

"So... How are you?" Kaali asked after some time. Sharmila didn't have ime to think about her brother's love life, she better start explaining Kaali about everything. "Please Kaali.. Help me.. Dadi would chop off my head if I didn't do things properly. Help me.." Sharmila said after explaining her situation. Kaali looked uncertain. "I have no problem in helping you but... your Dadi.. She would not like my presence." Sharmila smiled. "You don't worry about Dadi. She is out to visit the ashram of some swami. She will come only after lunch. Waise bhi.. the barsi's muhurat is in afternoon. You can just return home before she returns." Kaali did not know what to do. She was trying to keep distance between her and Yug. But now if she go to his house... What if he comes near her? But Sharmila was also helpless. She took a deep breath and said, "O.K. I'll help you but I have 3 conditions. Please don't ask me the reasons for it. If you agree to them then we both can go to my house first to inform Badke Papa and then to your house." Sharmila didn't understand the conditions but still she agreed.

***********

Yug got the message that Kaali was coming. Dadi had gone to Swami's place. He knew things would go as planned there. Ramji would surely help him. He was sure that Chachi would have prepared everything as always. "I'm really sorry Chachi.." yug said as he entered the kitchen with a smile.

*************

Vishwa was surprised to see Sharmila with Kaali. Kaali explained the situation to Vishwa, "So.. Badke Papa.. Can I go?" Vishwa smiled, "Of course, I have no problem but Kaali, You have to study too. BSU entrance test is hard. If you keep doing other stuff, When will you have time to study?" "Badke Papa.. This will not take much time. It will be completed in 2-3 hours. I'll come home and study after that." Vishwa nodded. "O.K.. I'm going to BSU to submit the application form. I'll be back before afternoon." Vishwa was about to leave when he heard Kaali clear her throat loudly and pointedly. He turned and saw her holding up the tablets. Her eyes clearly said, "Don't think I'll let you escape just like that.." He sighed. "Seriously Kaali, you would never forget it." And he had the tablets without any more complaints.

**************

Kishen Kaka came rushing into the kitchen as he heard a loud crash. The container which had all the ladoos was on the floor. "Yug baba.. what happened?" Kaka asked Yug. "A cat.." Yug said with a smile. Kaka looked surprised. "A cat? But.." Yug said. "Yes Kaka.. A cat came in and it pushed the ladoos." "But how is that possible?" "Why? It just pushed the ladoos the same way it pushed these Barfis.." CRASH!!! The plate of barfis came down with a loud sound. "Yug Baba!!" Kaka looked horrified. "The cat even destroyed the katchoris.." and yug pushed the plate of katchoris... CRASH!! Kaka couldn't see any more. Yash came in. He saw everything and asked innocently, "What happened Bhai?.. Did a cat get in?" Yug smiled. "Yes my dear younger brother. It did such a mess." Yash didn't know why his brother was doing this but who cares.. He too wanted to break stuff.. It looks so much fun. "I see.. the cat pushed the jelebi's too. Right?" CRASH!! "and the gulab jamoons too.." Yash's hand extended towards the bowl. "Please!! Stop!!!" Kaka cried. Yash and Yug stopped. They both asked with a devilish innocence, "What happened, Kaka??" Kishen Kaka gulped. These boys were monster. "A cat.. A cat got in." He said defeated. Yug smiled. "I thought so..."

*************

Leela touched Swamy's feet. Leela came here every year on the day of my husband's death. She did the charity every time. It was his last wish and Leela did not wish to keep it unfulfilled. Swamy saw as Leela distributed the clothes and food to the poor people. He could see that she face was clouded with doubt. It was a new thing till now. Leela was always confident. After everything Leela came near Swamy and asked for leave. Swamy blessed her and she turned to leave. When she reached near the gate she turned back and came near Swamy. "Swamy.. I try my best to keep my family protected and happy. I have never doubted the Shastras. I have always believed that our Shastras said only but truth. But now.. The new people of these days do not understand these values.. My family itself is against me. And happiness of my family is being eclipsed. I want to do something. I want my family to be safe and happy. Who is responsible for it?"

Swamy smiled. It was exactly as her grandson said yesterday. He had come here with a request.

"So..You want me to advice your grandmother against her beliefs." The boy nodded. "No.. I don't want to do that. If you had asked me do it for the sake of your grandmother then I would I have agreed. But now this time it is for your selfish desires you are asking it." The boy looked unnerved. "If I was really selfish, then I would have married that girl in some temple and forcefully get into my house, but no.. I will not do that. The girl whom I love will not agree on that and I love my family. I want them to accept her without any force or emotional blackmail. I know what I am doing is right. By accepting Kali, Dadi would overcome her beliefs and see beyond that. I am doing this for my Dadi.. How long can she remain blind to her surroundings.. If you don't want to help me, it's fine... I would find a new way." The boy turned to leave. Swamy looked at him. His determination was commendable. His words were sincere. When the boy reached the door he said, "I would not say anything unnecessarily because no matter how much I say, if people don't feel they have to change, they cannot be changed. I will answer your grandmothers questions, but it is the responsibility of your grandmother to ask the right questions." The boy smiled and said, "She would. Swamy.."

"You did not ask what the cause was but instead you asked for who is causing it.. Is it because you are doubting yourself for it." Leela did not answer. Swamy smiled."Our mind is connected with our soul deeply. If you do something bad your conscience would keep haunting you. Why do you feel you have done something bad? " Leela did not answer again. She looked away from Swamy. "Khair.. You can say me what you feel like when you feel like. But to answer your question, Your house will remain happy as long as everyone in the family is treated equally. Everyone is loved equally and when humanity is restored in that house. After all Ramji treated everyone equally. For people like us, we know Ramji dwells in every living and non-living thing so we cannot do any har to others.. Because harming them means harming Ramji... Do you understand?" Swamy left the place. Leela had many questions in her mind.

**************

As soon as Sharmila and Kaali reached the Choudary house, they heard a big scream from the kitchen. Chachi was really making a scene. "Maa!! What happened? Why are you screaming?"

Yug came down. He smiled at Kaali. Kaali did something strang. She hid behind Di. "Aree!! A cat came in and see, what it has done? Now what should we do? Prepare everything again?" Chachi said. Sharmila said,"A cat came in? But..." Di then looked at Yug's direction, he could see Di's thoughts getting near to the truth. He acted swiftly. "Chachi.. Don't waste time crying over spilled mil...I mean food. Start preparing something fast. You, Pishimaa, Kaka, Di.. All can work together. Even Kaali will help you guys.. Right Kaali?" Kaali was startled when her name was mentioned. She looked at Yug. He winked at her. Again she hid behind Di. But after sometime wasted on convincing, it was decided that Kali would also help.

Ladies and Kaka together started cooking. Something strange was happening. Every time he tried to go near Kaali, Di would come in between them. It happened every single time. Kaali hid behind Di every time she spotted him trying to make a move. Yug had enough of it. "Di.. what are you doing?" He asked after pulled Di from the kitchen. "What? I am just doing what she asked me to do.. before coming here she had 3 conditions. 1) she will not touch any pooja things, she will only instruct me the procedure. I understand that was because of Dadi... 2) I should not let you come near her or even let you talk to her. And 3) I should not leave her alone. Frankly at that time, I didnot understand the reason but now I understand. Pyaar karte ho na usse?" She asked smiling.

"Yes, a lot.." Yug replied. Sharmila pulled his cheeks. "Aww...Cho chweet... But my brother, She is Guari's sister. You need to sort out that first." "I will." promised Yug. "And till that time... apne aashiqui ko control mein rakho. She is scared of you. She had said that if any of the condition breaks she would go home. So Behave yourself" "Di... I am asking you to back off. I'll do what I want." Sharmila accepted the challenge. "Yug.. I'll not Back off.. let the battle begin."

Vishwa was irritated. The car broke down in middle of the forest. They were far away from BSU. He barked at Purohit. "It's all because of you.. If you didn't know the way then we could have asked some one.. but now with car broken here.. what are we supposed to do? How will I submit Kaali's form?" Purohit smiled internally. Now who would explain Vishwa that it was all kalyani's plan. Kaali would not be able to study. Vishwa looked at the form. Kaali's face came into his mind. That girl.. she worked so hard.. how could he break his promise..Vishwa said after some time. "Purohitji.. you find a mechanic.. till that time I'll go by foot. I need to submit this form." Purohit asked incredulously "arre!!! Pagal ho gaye ho kya Vishwa.. The place is really far away.. you can't make it on time. Listen to me and let it go... Kaali bitiya can study next year." Vishwa shook his head. "No.. I have decided. I can't let that poor girl's talent go waste." He left. Purohit knew Vishwa would be unsuccessful.

The battle had begin in choudary kitchen. Yug saw kaali preparing matar for katchories. It was his chance. He was almost near her when Di blocked him. "Chachi.. see this. You know how I love Matar..and Di is not letting me go near that." Yug cried innocently. Chachi said without looking, "Arre sharmila.. Let yug go near that.. why are you stopping him?" Sharmila was also ready. "Maa... look at this idiot.. he is not helping and he is disturbing me... Anyway we don't have enough matar and if he eat this then what will we cook?" Chachi agreed. "Yes yug.. sorry you can eat matar tomorrow but now let us work.. Go out..." "But Chachi..." "Go out.. yug.." Yug went out defeated.

Yug was determined. He cannot let Di win. Sharmila was feeling really happy. For the first time, she was enjoying in kitchen. It was fun to make things with everyone. Every one made jokes while preparing food. Team work was so enjoyable. And not to mention stopping Yug and winning was also fun. Kaali was not a timid girl as she thought her to be. She was quite cheerful and she even helped her learn few tricks while cooking. Sharmila could easily bond with her in that busy kitchen. They both started the preparations for Barsi. When Kali asked about the kalash she replied it was in the storeroom. "Will you go and bring it? I am busy with this right now..Oh I forgot.. you won't touch anything.. right?" She saw yash busy in his laptop.. "Yash.. Go and bring the Kalash from storeroom.." Yash groaned. He started refusing. Just then he got a message. "O.K fine... I'll go but only if Kali come with me... The storeroom is scary." Kaali agreed. They went to storeroom. Yash took the kalash and went off. Kaali was also leaving but then her hand was suddenly pulled. It was Yug. He pulled her inside the storeroom. He pinned her to the wall. Kaali was about to say something but he covered her mouth. "All I wanted was sometime with you.. but now you have called Di into it. You left me no other choice other than to use yash." Kaali didn't know what to do? They were in a closed room all alone. She felt Yug's hand leave hers. She felt her heart beat fast. Yug came closer. "Tell me kaali.. are you scared?" Kaali didn't know how to answer this question. She nodded. He came even closer. He wiped her tears which she didn't realise she had shed. He wiped them with much love. Her whole body felt shivered at his touch. "Now... Now are you feeling scared?" she looked at his eyes. She did not feel scared anymore. She shook her head. Yug smiled. He came closer... and closer... Just then the door opened. It was Di. "I should have realised. Yash was always your chamcha.." Kali ran and hid behind Di. "Sorry Kaali.. Next time I'll be more carefull.." Di took Kaali away. Yug was still smiling. Victory for Ram..

SHARMILA:1 YUG:1

Sharmila felt irritated. Yug won. She won't let that happen now.. Kaali was totally shaken. Sharmila took her to her room. "See.. Whatever is between you and Yug is none of my business. But I promised you, I'll not let Yug come near you. And I'll fulfil my promise." Kaali nodded. She decided she will not leave. They came down and busied themselves with bothkitcen work and pooja work. During that time, Yug had another plan. He asked Yash to send Kaali to pluck flowers for the pooja. He waited sometime in the garden. He saw a shadow approaching him. Without thinking much he pulled her by hand. "Di?" he asked as he saw his sister. "What are you doing here?" Sharmila smiled, "Waiting for your Sita to pick flowers, Mr. Ramji?.. Unfortunately.. Your Lakshman was easily bribed for 5000.. Now he is in my team. And if you try to make any move on Kaali.. I'll tell everyone who the cat was.. Understood my cute little Romeo?" She left to the house leaving behind a defeated Ram

SHARMILA:2 YUG:1

And then yug did nothing else other than steal glances at her.. She looked so happy working with everyone. Di was also enjoying. Yug could already see a bright future for him with her and his family. After much time most of the thing were remade. Chachi was delighted. It was time for Kaali to leave. "I'll drop her." Yug said as soon as she was about to leave. She shook her head looking at the ground. "No need. I can go by myself." Sharmila understood her brother's plan. "Yash!! Drop Kaali.. " Yash who was busy playing in his laptop rejected. "Let bhai do it.. He is free.." Di went near him with a hot ladle, "Would you just do what I say?" Yash was scared of hot stuff like hot ladle in the hands of a hot headed sister. So he agreed. "O.K fine.. Let's go Kaali.." Kaali thanked her. "Hey.. you were the one who helped me.. now Dadi will not scold me.. Thank you.." And Kaali left. Yug looked at a mug sharmila..Her eyes clearly said:
