You know the drill. Here's the thread for today. If you refresh occasionally like you do for written update, you might be able to read as I update. I will start updating as the episode gets uploaded. You guys can continue your discussion. I will update as I go. Today I'd like to share an incident from my life. I had many times repeated how important to build a solid foundation of honesty and trust and maintain balance in relationship. So I thought I'd also share how it benefited me personally to build and maintain stronger and more loving relationships.
Those of you who had been reading my post since the beginning know that I got married twice to the same man. We had a small, intimate wedding at my husband's parents' house in 2012 where my father-in-law gave me away and then we had a grand big fat Indian wedding in 2014 in Udaipur, India.
It took me two years to plan the big wedding. Since we were planning to move to Toronto from Calgary anyway, we sold our house and went to India for the wedding plus travel for 4 months coast to coast trip.
When we came back in March of 2014 after our journey, we stayed at my in-laws place since we had sold the house before leaving for our trip. We were planning to wait until weather gets better before driving across country which considering how vast Canada is, would have taken us 4 whole days of driving to go from Alberta to Ontario. So we wanted to make sure that there was not too much snow on the ground before making that trip.
Anyhoo, at that time, my mother-in-law were having some health issues which she hadn't shared with us. What happened to her though that she got irritated with everything, make fuss about nothing and generally was being unpleasant. In short, she was being completely different from the adoring and loving person who just one month ago was a sweetheart when we were in India.
I didn't know what was going on, but then this was an out of character behaviour for her. So I decided to be pleasant for the duration I am under her roof. Besides we were moving across the country and I didn't want to leave with unpleasant memories.
However, that wasn't the case of my husband. He didn't understand what was his mother's problem. But he was also getting irritated by her. The difference is that she was not only irritable with me. She was irritable with every one. My father-in-law, brother-in-law, my husband, me - there was no exception. So it was not as if any of us was singled out.
But whereas everyone was getting upset with her, I was being neutral keeping in mind her earlier behaviour.
One day, my husband had a row with her for some reason. I came down from upstairs when they were arguing and grabbed a chocolate pudding cup from the fridge for snack. Mom told me that my husband's nephew loves that snack so I can take some other snack. I put the pudding back and took out a fruit yogurt cup instead since what I have wasn't a big deal for me.
But my husband who was already on a slow boil due to his problems, immediately used this incident to get mad. He said why can't I take the snack I want. If we run out of snack, he will go and buy some more. Why the house rules will be different for anyone?
Mom got offended. She said that if I had no problem, why did he interfere?
So it went back and forth. So she turned to me and ask if I was complaining behind her back to my husband.
Now since now I was dragged in between them for whatever is their problem, I had to speak up.
I told my husband that he should not use my problems to justify his. I can answer back on my own. If the pudding was a life and death situation, I'd have spoken up. But it wasn't. So I didn't make a big deal about it.
And I told Mom that I think of her as my mother. Is she behaving strangely? Yes. I don't know why. But I understand that she will share with us when she wants to. If I have anything to say to her, I will tell her directly. I won't instigate my husband.
But at that time, she was not in a good place. So she asked my husband to leave her home. She also at the same time said that I can stay there but not my husband.
I could not stay where my husband wasn't welcome. I told her that and said that I am holding no grudge against her. But I have to go where my husband goes. She understood.
So we left for Ontario on April of 2014. Of course my husband complained the entire way about how his mother treated him and how she was not behaving well to anyone. I didn't take sides. I just listened.
Now, less than a month later was Mother's Day. I called my mother. So I called Mom as well. She started crying and told me that she was not happy since we left and kept apologizing. I told her that everything is fine. I am not upset and I love her. Then I handed the phone to my husband and made him talk to his mother.
They talked for 2 hours and they agreed to forget and move in. In October of the same year, Mom and Dad came to Ontario to see us.
When Mom saw me, she hugged me tight and rocked back and forth and kept apologising. I had already forgiven her. I told her that. She said that she is thankful that I could have turned her son away from her, but I didn't. I also told her that I will never do that. But I also asked her to see a doctor for her health.
My mother-in-law procrastinates a lot. She finally went to see a doctor in mid 2015.
Next year (December 26, 2015) she asked us to fly in to their vacation property in Phoenix for family vacation. Our flight was through Chicago which got cancelled due to snowstorm while we were sitting in the airport. We were ready to come home. But she insisted to buy any ticket regardless of price.
So we paid a small fortune for one way flight ticket to Phoenix (since we already had our return flight booked).
When we went to Phoenix, we found out the reason. Mom had cancer. My husband was devastated and I was too. He did what he does when he worries. He researched everything he could possibly know about Colon Cancer and started to formulate a treatment strategy.
And I just held her hand and sat by her in the couch silently. She asked if I had any questions. I said no. But if she wants to talk, I am here to listen.
Thankfully, Mom is cured now. But 2016 was a difficult year for us with her fighting with Cancer across the country and us being away. We called each other a lot. She used to get tired and could not talk. So I rambled on to keep her company about my day and what was her son was up to.
However, I am thankful that I didn't treat her like a mother-in-law back then. I treated her like how I treat my mother. So now, we are as strong as a mother and daughter should be. There is nothing I can tell my own mother that I can't tell her. Freely, honestly, no holds barred.
But it was not one sided. No relationship is ever one-sided. If she wasn't so welcoming, so loving to me when I first came in her son's life, may be I'd have got irritated back then when she was not behaving well. But because she was loving to me previously, I took a step back and forgave her.
So the reason it all worked out is because we each built a solid foundation of comfort and honesty between us. I didn't behave like an in-law, neither did she. So in troubled time, I didn't treat her any differently than my own family which went on to build the balance in our relationship.
Also, while I appreciated my husband's support, the support he gave me wasn't for me at that time. It was to justify his problem. That was unfair to both Mom and I. Again, I made sure that he knew that I don't appreciate being used to fight his battles. Had it been such a big issue for me to let go of the yoghurt, I'd have told Mom myself. I am not a shy person when it comes to speaking my mind.
I also made sure to not encourage his venting and told him straight that I won't be picking sides in this instance because even if he wins here, he will lose and I can't let that happen. That balance helped me to bring them back together.
Yesterday, the problem with Saurabh wasn't that he behaved differently from Dev. But he behaved like Neha who used petty issues to vent out her frustration. If he had perceived himself to be neglected and his problems trivialised, he can certainly bring it to his parents' attention. However, he used Ronita's feelings as a scapegoat. It was not fair to his parents or Ronita.
In any other family, Asha could have assumed that Saurabh's changed behaviour was due to Ronita and she is the reason for his outburst. But she didn't do so. She didn't blame Ronita for Saurabh's behaviour and instead clarified to Ronita their side of the story which also made Ronita forget the issue.
However, since Asha shells out advice so generously, I'd have appreciated her giving advice on balancing relationship to Saurabh as well. But may be I am expecting too much.
EPISODE: The episode starts with Bhaiya returns featuring his bottle of joy containing alcohol doing what he does best - whining, complaining and blaming Sonakshi.
Me: Nope. Nothing new. In fact that's exactly what I expected.
Bhaiya: So that's what you wanted to be and that's what you have become. From now on, you will always be Sonakshi Bose for me.
Bhaiya thinks about Sona and Jatin.
Me: Bhaiya, aaj se Sonakshi Bose? To pehle kya thi? Lekin kya aap apne aap se kiya hua promise nibhayenge ya wahan bhi locha karna hain? Abhi tak aap ne Jatin bhaiya ko cauliflower nehin diya.
Bhaiya: I am so mad that I am getting affected by the relationship which broke years ago. I thought that there is nothing left to be broken. You again broke my heart. You didn't even feel a little pain when you lied to me. You looked into my eyes and kept lying and I believed you. I trusted you. But now no more. Now Dev and Sonakshi can never be together. Never.
Me: Okay. To Bhaiya, aap proud nehin feel kar rahe hain? Jaise 7 saat saal pehle aap Sonakshi ki aankhon mein dekh ke jhooth bolte the, ab Sonakshi waisi hi aap ko jhooth bolti hain (or so you think). I understand why it was so easy for you to believe her because her track record doesn't have broken promises and lies. However, now I can't trust you that you will even keep your promise to yourself to never bother her again. Because jhooth to aap apne aap se bhi kaafi bol lete ho.
Waise iss incident se pehle, aap ki harkaton se mujhe aisa feel nehin aa raha tha, ki aap reconciliation ke chakkar mein the. Aise taana deke, insult karke, uske saamne ladki ghumake, saara blame uske mathhe maarke kaun sa patch up ki koshish kar rahe the?
Behena to the rescue comes farmhouse and sees Krishna ki bansuri (as in bhaiya ka bike). She thinks to herself, if bike ithhe, to bhaiya bhi itthe.
She also sees Khatri (jo itni der kuch nehin kiya) abhi issi waqt door bell baja raha hain.
She is worried.
Inside Bhaiya is pissed for interruption in alcohol consumption and Sona's blamathon. He opens the door and no one is there. Behena missing along with Khatri.
Now you must be wondering ki how behena became Ms. India?
No, dearies. Behena became Lady Hulk. She pushed at least twice heavy Khatri and he fell like Aishwarya fell on dhol in the song Dholi Taro when Salman bhaiya push-pull-whatever her total ooi maa style.
Me: Don't believe me? Why don't you go to youtube and compare the scene.
Khatri in full tashan: So lamb reached here as well.
Sonakshi in full Savitri mode to protect her Suhaag-who-not-give-a-damn: I can cross even seven seas to protect Dev. (*SNORT*)
Khatri: What relationship is left between Dev and you?
Sona: Maan ka (as in of respect which neither of them have for each other's teeny-tiny brain), maryada ka (as in decorum jo kab ka Halwa ban chuka hain), dosti ka (as in friendship which Sona has more with Jatin than Bhaiya) which people like you can't even recognise.
Me: Uh, excuse me behena. Waise to mere ko bhi maan, maryada aur dosti aap dono mein nehin dikhi. Waise apmaan, amaryada aur D for dushmani jaroor dikhi many times.
Sonakshi: Why did you come here?
Khatri: I had told you that if you don't tell me Ishwari's location, I will come to Dev and tell him everything.
Me: Oh ho, bechari ki ab aadat nehin hain naa ki koi promise karke usse nibhaye. Lekin dekho behena, Khatri jaisa lalchi bhi apna promise poora karta hain.
Sona: What will you get from Dev?
Khatri: What Ishwari had been giving me in small instalments. I had kept her under my thumb for so many years. Now it's her son's turn. She had got such a big pay out that because of it her and her whole family got out of poverty. When I deserved to get the pay out. That's why I had been taking interests from Ishwari for so long.
Me: Arre wah? Isse kehte hain uparwale ke ghar mein der, but no andher. Ishwari used to blackmail Dev using her mamta and Khatri used to blackmail Ishwari using his kshamta.
But wait a minute. Abey Khatri, to phir tune Sona se paise kyun nehin liya bey? Tu kya blackmail bhi instalment mein karta hain? Abey tu to easily uske paiso se retire ho sakta tha. Ishwari ne Rs. 5 crore to nehin loote honge uss jhopad wali ghar se. Lekin phir bhi tu wohi chindi jaise paison ke liye door to door salesman bana phir raha hain.
Kya yaar, CVs. Concept to believable banaya karo. Villain ka bhi no akal. Aisa kaise chalega? Kaun sa villain itna mehnat karke paisa kamata hain easy scheme chod ke?
Villain bhi khuddar. Haan hoon main blackmailer. Lekin apni mehnat ka khata hoon. Main aaj bhi bina mehnat ke blackmailing ka wasooli nehin leta. Hain?
Sona: For so many years you had been blackmailing Mrs. Ishwari Dixit. Now at least spare her son.
Khatri: I used to collect money from Ishwari saying that I will tell the truth to her son. And now I will collect money from Dev saying that I will expose Ishwari to the whole world. I know that Dev's fear will be more than Ishwari's crime and the bigger the crime, bigger the payment.
Me: To phir Sona ko kyun nehin bola bey ki kitna jyada paise chahiye? Woh to dene ke liye khari thi. Lekin Khatri ne apna phati hui chatri jaisa dimaag chala ke aati hui Laxmi ko rail ki patri pe sula diya.
Ab aaya hain double mehnat karke wohi paisa kamane. Main pagal hoon ya script ki Dev-Ishwari ban gaya hain?
Sona: You don't know Dev Dixit. He worships his mother. He won't believe you. So you just leave.
Khatri: Did you think I am a raw player? I knew you won't believe me. Ishwari's confession is recorded in this CD (shows the CD). Dev may not believe me, but he will believe his mother. In this CD, his mother is asking for forgiveness in front of God which is clearly visible and you put so little money in so tiny bag to shut me up? No one makes butter chicken of golden egg laying chicken.
Me (Facepalming hard): Okay, to us din kyun nehin bataya Sona ko ki kitna paisa chahiye? Ishwari murgi to kabhi bhi upar khisak legi aur alcohol pee pee ke Bhaiya bhi jyada din Devdas ki conclusion se door nehin hain. To phir yeh nayee wali taazi aur healthy murgi ko kyun nehin appoint kiya as new chicken? Yeh to apni health ka itna dhyan rakhti hain ki 100 bhi cross kar jayegi.
Sona (scared): I will soon find Ishwari ji.
Khatri: One aim and three preys. You, Ishwari and Dev. Now you watch how I make you dance on my fingertips. Move from my way.
Sona tries to stop him. But Khatri goes to the door of the farmhouse when he sees Dev, the mountain man is standing on his way.
Bhaiya in full gussa mode thinking of past.
He sees Sonakshi running after Khatri. Bhaiya tries to choke Khatri, Sonakshi tries to stop him from killing him.
Bhaiya: How dare you take my mother's name with your dirty mouth?
Then he turns to Sona: Shut up. What is this new trick? How far have you fallen? You have teamed up with my enemies to ruin my life.
Me: Bhaiya, Sonakshi doesn't need to plan to ruin your life. Uske liye to aapki Mummy aur aap hi kaafi ho. Behena agar sirf Jatin ke saath ek hotel room mein poori raat bad ludo bhi khel le to sharab pee pee ke aap apne aap hi upar sidhar jayenge.
Sona: I haven't teamed up with anyone.
Dev: You are lying.
Sona: What you are thinking is not true. Let him go.
Bhaiya is thinking what Mummy said to let him go. He says: I had spared you because Mummy said so. But today I won't listen to her. I will finish it today.
Sona: Dev, what are you doing? At least hear me out.
Khatri: He is crazier than before.
Dev: If you say one more thing, I will kill you.
Sona: Dev, leave him.
Dev: What happened Sonakshi? He is losing breath and you are getting worried?
Sona: I am telling you everything. I don't want you to go to jail on charge of this sick man's murder. Now will you listen to me?
Dev: What? What do you want to say?
Sona: Dev, I have never in my life...
Stops, rephrase time: Dev, I have never trusted anyone as much as I have trusted you. This man knows about Maa...
Re-stopping, re-phrasing: This man knows something about auntyji that even you don't know. He used to work where auntyji used to work.
She starts telling everything.
Bhaiya is shocked.
Sona: Dev, I checked it over and over and this is truth. And this man, tried to blackmail everyone and also me. He was saying that he will tell you everything. Now who will you blackmail? I have told Dev everything. What will you do now? Whom will you make dance on your fingers?
Me: Uh, he can still hand over the CD to the police? That was the trump card, darling. Not your Dev.
Khatri: Eh lamb, what do you think of Khatri?
Sona: Your game is over, Khatri.
Khatri: I will...
He approaches Sona aggressively.
Jatin enters: Even if you touch her, I will put so many charges on you that you will rot in jail forever.
Me: Ooi maa time. Bhaiya was standing like lamp post. And Jatin Bhaiya maaring sixer the second Khatri tried to threat behena. So hot. Kuch bhi bolo. Lekin banda yeh bindaas hain.
Sona is surprised: Jatin?Khatri is surprised: Police?
Me: Khatri ka surprise I get. But I am also surprised. Behena aap ko to inhone hi drive karke laaye the. To aap ko itna shock kyun laga?
Jatin: Yes me. Your confession about how you had blackmailed Ishwari Dixit for so long is recorded in this phone.
Khatri threatens Sona: I won't spare you three. If I don't destroy you, then my name is not Khatri.
Police arrests him and takes away a threatening Khatri.
Sona: Sir, like we talked about, no one's name from Dixit family must be leaked. Specially Mrs. Dixit.
Bhaiya is now staring at behena again with same expression.
The police assures her that they will do as she said. Police leaves from there.
Me: Hain? Police aa rahee hain woh bhi behena ko pata tha. To aise shock kis baat pe hui Jatin aur Police ko dekh ke?
Jatin asks if she is alright.
Sona says yes.
Jatin says that he is going and he thinks that she should stay. He hands over her phone and leaves.
Sonakshi thanks him.
Bhaiya is still staring.
Me: Jatin bhaiya, aap nikal liye? Ab yeh log ghar kaise jayenge? Driver nehin hain naa. Bhaiya is drunk aur behena ko driving nehin aati. Inko ab ghar kaun chodega? Radha ko bhi cab nehin mili.
Sorry, main naa thodi practical types ki hoon.
Sonakshi in begging mode: Sorry Dev. I wanted to tell you the truth. I even asked Elena to stop you. But you left and I could not stop you. So Jatin and I made this plan.
*Flashback* of behena's awesome plan where she says that she believes in her, bhaiya and their whatever. She was sure that he will listen to her and will believe her too.
Me: Naa re, CVs, naa. Ab rulayega kya? Illogical sequence dekh dekh ke ab to hasi bhi nehin nikal rahee hain. Sirf aansoo nikal raha hain.
Kaun sa whatever between them bey? Kidhar se aaya yeh whatever? I mean jo aadmi gaali deke nikal le, us pe kaun sa moron bharosa karti hain? Aur inko kaise pata ki bhaiya hasn't passed out inside and will come out when she coochie coos to him? Uske upar to plan bhi behena ka. To phir yeh surprise kyun hui Jatin bhaiya aur police ko dekh ke? I don't get it. 😕
Bhaiya: This is not Mummy's fault. What could she have done? We'd have come on the road, I'd have been thrown out of the school and we had nothing to eat. My mummy did it for us. My mother can't harm anyone. She doesn't think bad for anyone. My mummy did it for her children. One widow who has four little kids, she has done it for us, for me. It happened because of me. Why I could not see any of this? It's all my fault.
Me *banging my head slowly and painfully on the wall*: Are you frigging serious? Okay. So the statement above is literal translation of Bhaiya's whine and first reaction after hearing everything. Here's a cool quiz for you. Can you count I, me, my and mine mentioned there and tell me how many time they get repeated?
No thought of Behena getting blackmailed, no asking if she got hurt, if she was endangered, why she risked herself, him calling her characterless, never thinking that she was also a single mother who raised Soha alone... Nah as in nada. It's all about main aur meri Mummy jaap.
Every damn thing comes back circling to that one thing. I, me aur meri mummy.
But behena, the tissue for all issues is ready. She consoles: This is not your fault. Don't blame yourself. You were very little then.
Dev: A son remains a child until he has a father. But when father dies, he no longer remains a child. I should have held my mother's hand...
He leaves and this time Vodafone part 2 follows.
Bhaiya goes to a wall and cries there: I should have helped mummy. But I was busy blaming God. This is all my fault.
Sonakshi consoles him: Dev, you were a child then. And as far as I understand, we become adult when we turn 18. Whatever happened before that, it was unfortunate. It was bad. But Dev, you can't be held responsible for someone's life or death. Just leave it Dev. It's not your fault.
Dev: No, Sonakshi. Let me whine some more. Now that I found out how much of a jackass I had been to you and really not interested to look like a fool, I'd rather whine about my woe-is-me past and my poor innocent mummy while you shower your sympathy and attention on me.
Me: No. Bhaiya didn't say that. It was just what I hope he had said. Kabhi kabhi to apni man ki likhne ka man karta hain naa. CVs to meri sunte nehin.
Dev: Why are you defending me? Why are you saying this to me? What have I done for you? Tell me what have I done for you?
Sona: Me?
Dev: Yes, what have I done for you? I loved you, but didn't trust you. I married you, but didn't stand by you. What did you want from me? You just wanted me to be there for you, stand by you. That's all you wanted from me, right? I stand by you in every happiness, in ever trouble, in every sadness.
Sona (teary eyed): Please...
Me (wiping tears): Abey shush. Bhaiya ne finally muh khola. Ab to beech mein mat bol. Bhaiya, continue. Kaan taras gaye the aap ke muh se yeh sunne ke liye. Aur bolo Bhaiya. Hum sun rahe hain.
Dev: Please what, Sonakshi. You have done so much for my family. You are still, after everything that happened, is protecting my family. But what have I done? I have even blamed Jatin and your relationship. What have I not called you. And you? You are still defending me? Why? Sonakshi, I met my daughter after six years and even left her behind. Then why are you defending me? Why? Don't.
Sonakshi: Because I know you Dev. I know that you won't be able to handle this situation.
Me: No, seriously behena. Shut it. Bhaiya gotta speak and we gotta see results of our weeks long ranting. Arre koi duct tape lao yaar. Bhaiya you to continue.
Sona: I know what your mother means for you. (Me: There she goes again). Because I know when you saw Jatin and me together what you went through (Me: Yep, same as when you saw Bhaiya and Shruti in a hotel room, playing chess). Because 8 years ago, you were not the only one who left me. I left you too. (Me: And 8 plus few months ago too, he left you). All this isn't your fault. And why do you always blame yourself for all life's problems? Stop blaming yourself, Dev.
She holds his arms: It's fine. It's okay.
Bhaiya wipes tears.
Me (wiping tears): Me too. Prime time tha bhaiya ki baat sunne ka. Behena ne us mein 8 saal purani stale tadka maar diya. Apna muh do minute bandh nehin rakh sakti yeh ladki.
(Brightens up): But hail enlightenment!!! Bhaiya ki batti jali.
Dev: I am sorry, Sonakshi. I am really sorry.
Me (jumping up and down): Haila, sorry bhi? Aaj to lottery lag gayee hamari. Party time!!! 🥳
Sona: It's okay, Dev. You must have misunderstood when you saw us. But now you know everything. It's okay.
Bhaiya stares.
Me: Lekin ek baat batao, yeh log ghar kaise jayenge? Jatin bhaiya to gadi leke nikal gaye. Bhaiya is drunk aur hain inke paas sirf ek bike. Cabbie not around.
Sorry. Main thodi practical sochti hoon. Drinking and driving is a big no no. 😳
At Dixit house, Soha is sleeping around party supply. Elena comes there. Vicky hugs her from behind: They are both sleeping. How long should we wait?
Elena: They got tired of waiting for Dev bhai and Sona and fell asleep. They have decorated everything so cutely, no?
Vicky: I am thinking the same thing. They have decorated everything so cutely.
Elena shushes him: If you talk so loudly, they will get up too. They are sleeping, now you go to bed too.
Vicky rolls his eyes. Elena: Aww, you got mad?
Soha wakes up: Papa...
Elena says: Soha, are you okay?
Soha asks for her dad.
Elena says that her Papa is not here. But he must be on his way.
Soha: He is sad, that's why I want to go to him. If I am with him, he won't be sad.
Elena tries to pacifies her. But she insists on going to her dad. She had a bad dream that she didn't celebrate her parents' special day.
Vicky tries to say that what is left to celebrate. But Elena stops him. She again tries to console Soha. She offers to call her mother.
Me: Poor Soha. I am feeling so bad for her. Until now, Golu was the neglected child despite his two parents being together. Now Soha is on the same place as Golu despite her parents trying to be together.
Anyhoo, Dev holds Sona's both hands: Not for that, I am sorry for everything. Look, how much you have changed. You used to be happy. You used to laugh even at my stupid jokes. Now see, you have become like me. Whatever I touch, it becomes bad. Remember you had said that here not one heart, but two hearts broke. But I didn't believe you. You still tried to protect my family. You tried to protect me. You tried to protect my mother. Why?
Sona tries to pacify Dev here just like Elena is doing to Soha: I did for you what you had done for me in my house. You weren't the only one who changed. May be because of each other, but we both changed. Then the fault can't be yours alone. Dev, I had said I love you. I had said that whatever happens I won't leave you. But one problem came and I gave up.
Dev thinks about Sona's promise.
Sona: Our relationship broke because I didn't trust you. I didn't trust in our love.
Then back to staring.
Me: Let's see here now. CVs, kuch bhi mat bulwao okay? Sona ki life mein ek problem nehin aayee. Bahut saari aayee. Aur trust usne Dev pe is liye nehin kiya kyunki Bhaiya apne jhooth aur broken promises kar kar ke apne marriage mein hole bana rahe the.
Kuch bhi, hain CVs? Bhaiya ko thodi aur bolne dete. Kaafi saalon se pending hain.
Radha is staring at them.
Me: Ab isko kaise pata chala ki yeh log yahan hain? Ab yeh bhi Dev ko sabse achhe se jaanti hain?
Sona: Dev.
Dev (breathless): Sonakshi.
Sona: Dev, you will have to tell your mother the truth. About the danger. But you can't react like this like you did now.
Dev: Thank you, Sonakshi for protecting my family.
Sona: No need to say thank you. This is my family too.
She stops. Rephrases: I mean, the people are very important.
Bhaiya ke man mein laddoo, jalebi, peda phooting. He hugs behena.
Radha ka ho gaya barbad mahina.
But behena no huggy back. More like, Ookay, now. That's enough.
Bhaiya ko phir bhi no problem now.
He finally registered that behena no giving bhav.
Lekin doobte ko enough hain adha nao.
PRECAP: Radha comes home and tells Vicky that she saw them hugging.
Dev and Sona separate from hug.
Me: Hain? Itni der tak hug kiya? Radha bina cab ke ghar bhi aa gayee, aur yeh dono abhi tak wohi hain?
Elena calls: Hello, Sona. Everything is okay between you two?
Sona: Yes. We are leaving now.
Elena: Did you two patch up?
Sona looks at Dev.
Me: How about Elena you first patch up with your son, hmmm? If he could, he would have divorced you from his mother's post already. But you don't have time for your marriage, your husband and your son. Instead, you are poking your nose in Sona's business. Seriously, lady? Get a life.
