Aap jo keh rahe hai, shyad theek bol rahe hai lekin Mr Walia not in this case, Veer ke saath khoon ka rista toh mera bhi haye, masi hu uska, lekin Veer wapis aya hai aap ke liye, Pushkar nehi aap uska pitah hai, Pushkar is just a biological father whereas you, you are the true father, khoon ka nehi janmo ka rishta hai aapka Veer ke saath, aap ne usko apna sine se laga ke pala hai, Krishna aur Atharva se jaida uska kheyal rakha hai, Veer ko toh ana hi tha wapis......Bani pushed the calling bell of the Randheria House...

Purva was looking like a overworked maid, haggard and tired...while Bani handed over the presents to the baby, her mother-in-law hovered around, Bani tried to shake the lady off but she stuck on while Purva was made to go to the kitchen get some refreshment for Bani...while Bani showed her best behaviour she cursed within herself...all she needed two minutes to talk to Purva...

OOOps this is my favourite suite, Mr Walia had given it to me during my last birthday....Bani dropped the juice on herself....Purva can you show me the bathroom please...

As Purva showed her the toilet, Bani pulled her inside....tumne Nachiket ko aisa message kiyu bheja Purva, she asked fiercely undertone...

Toh mai keya karti, Purva bit her lips...

Keya matlab...

Bahu, jara suno toh....her mother in law called out

Hai hai yeh kaun aye...keya rasta bhulkar idhar ayi ho Bani Mami, Arushi greeted...

Bani wiped her hands, not exactly, bahut din se Purva se mulakat nehi hui thi, had come to see the baby too, kitna bara huwa dekhne

Mr Walia ane diya, woh bhi keya aye hai, dikhai nehi diye...

Woh office gaye hai, he has to work to make our lives comfortable you know, waise tum abhi tak yehi ho Arushi, I thought you must have gone back to your husband's house....Bani smiled sweetly...

Arushi turned and left, Bani thought no use of loitering around but definitely something is fishy, she picked up her bag took leave....as she was about to get into the taxi, she saw Daksh getting down from one....

Hello Daksh, kaise ho? She greeted

Hi Bani, bahut din baad....

How are you....

Not bad Bani, slowly we are coping with Apurva's death

Are you, I mean Purva looks down

Daksh looked away, well she is young and with a child, in this condition to lose a husband....

I know I know, Ok will catch up later.....bye Daksh....Bani left....

Kaise pata karu keya baath hai...Nachiket looked at Bani...

Abh mai roj roj to udhar ja nehi sakti toh sakh karne lagenge aur...

Aur....

I mean phone karne se bhi koi faida nehi, mujhe lagta hai her phone calls also might be monitored...

Idea!! Bhabi, best thing is you pose as Purva's mother and call that call might not be monited, Nachiket stated excitedly...

Keya faltu idea hai, first since she might be calling regularly, people might know her voice, secondly what is the guarantee when I call, she is not on some other line speaking to Purva...I mean itna bara ghar hai, quite a possibility....

Toh keya karu....

If you are serious about her, toh socho, Bani got up, she picked up a few white lilies...

Bhaiya se dosti nehi hui keya...Nachiket frowned looking at the same...

Ho gayi, lekin tum itna kanjus kab se ban gaye..

Kanjus nehi, I was getting worried kitna din yeh cold war chalega...

Dosti ho gayi, lekin kabhi kabhi ghus bhi dena parta hai, pati hai toh keya huwa, kabhi kabhi ghus pane se khush ho jata hai admi...

Maine toh socha kal raat ko hi mil giya hoga unhe...Nachiket replied in a poker faced

Bani blushed....

Nachiket smiled, chaliye bhabi mera ek appointment hai, aapko chhor deta hu....

As Nachiket drives her towards Walia Mansion, Arushi passes in her car...seeing them together she frowns, why did Bani come, just to enquire about the baby or some other motive. Though nobody said anything but many a times she felt Nachiket had weakness for Purva, these things seldom misses a woman's eye .

It was 'Janmastami' and the Walia's wanted to celebrate it in a big way. Their house was now filled with little ones so dadi and masi had another reason to celebrate. They got special dresses and flutes for the occasion. Krishna being the only daughter, Jai got her a matching jewelry set to go with the dress. The children were excited, every half an hour they wanted to know when can they dress up in their new dress.

Nachiket with his men were decorating it with flowers, when Raashi and Vijay entered.

They wanted to invite the family for their forthcoming registration. Jigyasa was fuming, about to burst when Arushi entered...

Aaj 'Janmastami' hai bachcho ke liye kuch gifts layi hu....

Beta keya jaroorat tha, lekin yaad se layi ho toh iskeliye sukriya, kush raho, tumhare ghar me such / santi wapis aye yehi parthana karoongi....Masi blessed Arushi...

Aap logo ki duya se lagta hai abh wapis a jayega...

Achha keya tu apna sasural wapis ja rahi hai....Dadi asked....

Nehi dadi abh bahut der ho chukka uske liye, mai matlab, kaise batayu...ek ke baad ek hadsa ghar me...aisa hai humlog soch rahe hai Purva aur Daksh Bhaiya ki shaadi karwa di jaye...ghar me bare log razi ho gaye, Daksh Bhaiya bhi na nehi kaha ....

Bani darted a quick glance towards Nachiket who was decorating the jhula, now his ears alert, hands still...aur Purva, Purva razi ho gayi....Bani asked....

She knows what the family wants Bani Mami aur Daksh Bhaiya aur Purva dono a me similarity toh hai, they also know each other well and as a mother she should know that her son should not be deprived of his family, theek hai ki nehi....

Bani gave a feeble smile....

Jaise Ghar ki baath ghar me hi rahe waise ghar ki members ghar me hi rahe, isse aur achha keya ho sakta hai...

So toh hai, abh tera ghar bas jaye, yehi duwa karenge aajke din...Masi stated...

Arushi took leave....

Nachiket gulped down the peg in one shot...

No wonder she sent a message like that....he stated...Bani sighed...yes women do tend to crumble under such pressures and suppress their own feelings...

Abh keya karu bhabi, Nachiket sounded helpless...

Kuch jaida nehi, bhul jayo, forget it, Jai Walia stood up to pour another peg to Nachiket...

Yeh aap keya keh rahe hai Mr Walia, Bani frowned...

Wahi which will happen....see Nachiket while Purva was married to Apoorva you loved her silently, now when she has become a widow, you want to get married and was wanting to pop up the question after a decent time has passed but now seems the family has some other plans for her, which she seems to be inclined to accept, in not for herself then for her child, the heir his family....

Mr Walia, you are once again sounding like a heartless businessman

Wahi to mai hu Bani, anyway see the situation, judge yourself unless and until Nachiket can convince Purva or Purva takes a stand for herself, we can do nothing....

Atlest I can speak to Daksh, can't I....

Yes you can, Bani but before speaking remember Daksh is your good friend, don't you want him to be settled? don't you think he has mourned enough for Anamika and move on in life, have a wife and child?

Lekin bhaiya Purva is not in love with Daksh...Nachiket sounded desparate....

I was also not in love with Bani when I got married, now do you doubt my feelings towards your Bhabi, Nachiket?

Toh?

Toh Nachiket either you find a way to convince Purva or wait for Purva's next move....

Nachiket pushed the drink away and left the Study...

Puja ke din aapne Nachiket ko hurt kiya Mr Walia....

I have just told him the practicality, devdas banne ke bhi ek hadh hota hai, everytime somebody or the other will come and snatch his love away and he will watch silently.....

Mr Walia, Bani sounded distressed

No Bani, tum kuch nehi karogi, chupchap dekhti rahogi, it is his call, let him take it....

Bani followed Nachiket out and closed the study door with a bang behind her....

+++

Jigyasa smiled, well now Bani, abh ayega maaza, you thought you will play Mother Teresa, solve everyone's problem, well here is a new one for you...Nachiket is not known for his aggressiveness and Jai Bhaiya all said and done he is a practical person and knows when to withdraw....Jigyasa went up to her room, closed the door and dialled...

Yes Jigyasa Auntie, what is the reaction

Jigyasa quickly narrated what all she overheard in the study.....

Well auntie I must thank you for the idea, as per your idea I had told chachi about Purva and Nachiket's softness towards each other, chachi now doesn't let Purva out of her sight, no way she wants to lose her grandchild aur maine jab do din pehle yeh idea diya, well the elders outright accepted the proposal, taoji has also consulted a panditji I have heard, it is now only Daksh Bhaiya who has to say yes....Arushi concluded...

Arushi, now you stick to our plan and ensure that Daksh is also convinced.....you know once Purva gets married again, Nachiket will have no other option, tabh mai tumhari baath rakhungi....now follow the plan...

Ji Jigyasa Auntie oops didi should I call you from now...

Auntie is fine till everything is materialised....

If she can finally get Nachiket married to Arushi, she will ensure Bani has enough problems in hand to keep the house in order, Bani disturbed, Jai Bhaiya disturbed aur mera kaam.....she smiled

Raashi was about to spoil her day but Arushi made it, Bani gave indulgence to Rashi, who left the house, her son, the spite of the girl, who could not speak two sentences properly is now thinking of 2^nd marriage and having a successful career too...well Bani, mai bhi kuch kam nehi hu, if I can bring Arushi in this house, but before that Nachiket should move in from his apartment to Walia Mansion
