Sachchi kaha tumne Jigyasa lekin woh kaha mil rahe mujhe, mera utna naseeb kaha…Needless to say Jigyasa brought the house down, even Jai Walia had to admit that this time Aditya did go over the top, Aditya looked serious, I know Jai but at times I also lose my patience, after all I am human too….
Jai patted his back…You are right Aditya…I understand….
+++
Jai and Bani completed the formality of giving Rashi away, Bani felt good, she felt they truly have done an honourable job made someone happy, freed a girl from the ills of the society and encouraged her to make her own future…
Areh Aditya tumne Nachiket ko dekha, I mean I am still yet to see him…
Nehi Jai, but I heard he left this place quite late, supervising, traffic bhi kafi…..
Waise I must say Mr Walia, aap aur aapki family ko ek achcha muft ka flower designer mila…
He is a family Arushi, aur family ke liye sabhi karte hai…
Oh really then why does he still stay separately, I mean it only projects he is not yet comfortable with his new found family…
Woh baath nehi hai beta, Nachiket is very much a part of family..Aditya started to justify…
Ahh talk of the devil, there he is, Jai pointed out and so it is the girl I guess at last…..
Girl keya girl, Aditya was surprised to see Nachiket entering holding the hand of a pretty girl…
Areh usdin Bani keh rahi thi, Nachiket is really interested in someone at last….come come lets go and find out, Jai pulled Aditya away….Arushi stared at the entrance with horror filled eyes….yeh kaise huwa, Jigyasa auntie ne toh kuch nehi batai, of course Bani madam will know, apna payara dewar jo hai…she watched Nachiket introducing the girl with his family, aur keya ladki hai gir gir kar pair chhu rahi hai, ekdin me sabko jeet lena chahati hai, Bani came and hugged her, wah wah another one added in her camp….yeh kaun ladki hai aur keya karti hai pata toh lagana hi hai…Arushi saw Nachiket taking the girl towards Purva and her chachi who were sitting in a corner, unwilling to come but Raashi insisted…saying I am calling very few people just our near and dear ones who will really be happy to see me once again start a new phase of life…
Purva had declined but Raashi said nothing doing Purva, you have to come, kuch der ke liye hi sahi….oh how sweet, Nachiket is taking extra care to introduce his new girl friend with his old one…Arushi wished she could throw something hard at the girl…
++++
Bani hugged Raashi and wept when Jai took her and saw off at the car, they were taking the late night flight to Europe for their honeymoon, while returning both had enrolled in a short course at Paris for advanced makeup. ….We now want to open our new saloon and train our own people, bahut ho giya ghum ghum kar kam, Raashi had informed Bani…as they waved the flower decked car, Bani felt the pain which she thought she would have felt for Pia, lekin Pia did not give her the chance and nor did Rano….
Mama aap kiyu ro rahi ho, Atharva questioned Bani…
Raashi masi ke liye ro rahi hai beta…
Kiyu…
Abh shadi ho gayi, masi abh apne pati ke ghar chali gayi, isiliye row rahi hai, Aditya clarified…
Kiyu…
Beta kiyu samaj ne ke liye tumhe thora bara hona parega, bus yeh samajlo Krishna bhi chali jayegi ek din is tarah…as soon as Aditya uttered those words, tears sprang into Jai's eyes, he blinked them hard…. Bani touched his arm, chaliye Mr Walia ghar chalte hai, bachcho ko sulana hai aur abhi Krishna bahut chhoti hai….
++++
Jai gave a satisfied sigh as he retired to bed, things went as per plan hatched by Nachiket. The new actress acted well and Nachiket really looked in love, nothing was overdone, very normal introduction with the family when Nachiket told Reshma, abh toh koi sharam nehi hai hamare ghar jane me...Bhaiya/ Bhabi sab se mil liya tumne, Reshma duly smiled coyly...Aditya good old Aditya he did not even find anything amiss...infact was genuinely happy to meet her....aur Arushi's face was worth watching, burning with jealousy she could not put up an artificial act of looking please lekin Purva...as usual she hid behind her mourning look, wearing white covering her head with pallu, her face barely visible....
Bani came and put her head on his chest....Good job Mr Walia...
Good planning Mrs Walia....Jai ran his fingers through her hair....

Areh maath row maath row, Jigyasa muttered clenching her jaws...Arushi was howling....you never knew about the affair and how come you stay in the same house....she accused Jigyasa.....
Well ...I do stay with Bani but Niachiket still lives elsewhere...
Ha aur iss bare me aap abhi tak kuch nehi kar paye.....I think Auntie I should not have depended on you, I forced my ex husband for a quick divorce taki I can be with Nachiket, this time nothing will go wrong you promised...
Stop it Stop it, stop accusing me....mai hu na...Shaadi toh nehi kar liya hai Nachiket ne, mai abhi mari nehi hu....
Keya pharak parta, result to wohi hai na....
Jigyasa threw the phone away....looked at Ranveer...how come tum itna dino me us ladki ke saath Nachiket ko nehi dekha....
That is the point I have been trying to tell you Ma...how come....I mean naya naya pyar hai, kam se kam ek baar toh dekhi hi jati....
You are right....dal me kuch kala jaroor hai....ha shaadi ka season hai, Nachiket is unusually busy lekin iske matlab yeh toh nehi....
Wohi Ma, that is the point....and now I think the sudden meeting with Raashi, o.k. he did her mandap lekin he was not required to meet her personally, they could have discussed it over phone...or Nachiket could have sent the album over...
Even if they have met, so what lekin itne dino me ladki dekhai nehi di....are you sure you have not seen the girl ....
I swear Ma, I have not seen the girl, not the girl whose photo Arushi has sent from her mobile....or any girl for that matter of fact on whom Nachiket can be interested...
++++
Daksh was getting ready to leave the house, he had an appointment with a buyer, a breakfast meeting with him....Daksh picked up copies of his profile, put them in his side bag, then opened that drawer wherein he kept some sketches and paintings of his to be given away as gifts specially to people like this, incase the meeting is successful...he went through the pile and stopped, there was a painting of Jai and Bani, done by him during the days he was not too well, when he had spied on Bani, Bani sleeping with Jai, on his arm as pillow, the scene had tortured him so much, he wanted to kill the man with bare hands ...he wanted to draw him as a monster sleeping with his captive Bani....but somehow it turned out to be different, he ended up painting Jai as Jai inspite of not wanting, sleeping peacefully with his wife, he put it in the bag alongwith the other painting he picked up...
Daksh...his chacha called out for him....
Ji chachaji
Dekho Daksh Arushi is very upset, dekho she did make mistakes in the past but after one divorce she is a changed person and this you have to convince Bani....
Mai kuch samjha nehi, Daksh looked around the drawing room wherein the other family members were siting....Arushi was looking sick
Arushi wants to marry Nachiket, you surely know about that?
Is it so well I do not know......but I thought I saw Nachiket yesterday with another girl....
How can he marry that girl, she is a muslim , Reshma naam hai uski....Arushi jumped up...
Why not and who are we to object I mean it is for his family to decide
Dekho Daksh, his chacha called out...you have to speak to Bani, Arushi wants it and I want it too, I mean since Arushi wants it, I would like to see you and Arushi getting married on the same day....you with Purva and Arushi with Nachiket, you have to convince Bani, once Bani is convinced Nachiket and Walia will come around, she has strong holds on them....
I am sure definitely not on.....Daksh's eyes fell on Purva, he saw she was gesturing him to be quiet....Daksh frowned for the first time since the family wants to them to marry this is the first time Purva has looked directly towards him, trying to conveying something, all these days all he got to see a girl covered up in white sari with her head bowed...

Bani entered the kitchen early in the morning to heat some water, her children had feast of icecreams yesterday and were coughing away, she was surprised to see Rano already sitting there having a tea....tum Rano itna subah....
Well Di, could not sleep
Me too, the children are coughing as hell, too much of icecream, Varun bhi keya
No di, Varun is all right....it is just my thoughts that are bothering me....
Kaise thoughts Rano, Bani quickly made a concussion with tulsi leaves, honey etc
I think I will resign Di....
Kiyu, Bani looked at her sister
Well it is like this Sahil wants to move his base to a hill station, he is liking his job a an adventure guide, he is not good in marketing but he is getting many repeat clients who want to go with him to the mountains...from Mumbai...I mean the distance is too much for him up and down and bekar ki kharcha...
So?
Varun is growing up, needs his father so I was thinking I should move out and stay with Sahil in the hills, it makes sense at least during season time....
You have a good career Rano and Mr Walia depends on you, though I know your priority is with your husband but knowing Sahil....
Di I think Sahil has found something at last, I mean this time even I am convinced....
Yes of course Rano, you know the best...Bani swallowed hard, both her sisters will no longer be with her...Pia and now Rano....there dream to live together...
Areh Bani kaha reh gayi tum, she heard Jai calling out for her....
Bus abi ayi...Bani picked up the tray, yesterday when Raashi got married she had become emotional now with Rano going, for the first time in their lives they will separate...hey bhagwan mujhe shakti do....
++++
Jai Bhaiya....Jigyasa called out....
Ha bolo...Jigyasa ....
Now that Nachiket has got a girl friend and is about to get married, don't you think we should now insist that he should move in with us....
Kiyu...what is the problem if he stays away?
No problem only the clear demarcation is still visible, he uses his mother's name, koi baath nehi after all he is not legitimate so to speak....lekin though we say that we are one family, does it really reflect....
As long as it reflects within our heart, I have no problem what say Aditya.....Jai looked at his friend
I am with Jigyasa, I mean we have accepted Nachiket now if he wants to get married, very good, he should move in to the house, I mean Bani surely you can accommodate Nachiket in this house, after all ek saath rehne ka kuch aur hi maaza hai...what say Bani....
Ji ji, Bani smiled ...Jigyasa observed the smile was strained...she felt elated....
Theek hai, if you all think this is the best...Bani today evening you and I will go to Nachiket's office and convey the same...inform him to expect us....Jai Walia got up....
++++
Purva looked at the receiver, she seldom made phone calls but today her mother in law had gone for bath and with no one around, she thought she will make a quick call to her mother, she had picked up the receiver quietly when she heard a voice on the other side informing that Jai and Bani will meeting Nachiket today in his office at 4 p.m.....the voice felt familiar but whose it can be....then she heard Arushi saying, Ji Jigyasa auntie, thanks for the information lets see....Purva kept down the phone...Jigyasa and Arushi...lekin kiyu....
