A peaceful Sunday morning unfolds in Maheshwari Mansion(which of course we all pray for as ardently as farmers do,😔 for crops in Ethiopia). After gorging on a delicious breakfast cooked by Parineeta---everybody is set on enjoying themselves, relaxing from the Week That Was. Unwinding themselves from kidnaps, and goons and horrors of bomb blasts which are a regular feature of this house.🤪
DP-AP, RP-Sujju, go and put their deck chairs out. They will see and get entertained. I forgot to mention, in my imagination, there is a pool in MM..with cool clear water. Blue skies, sunshine...and everyone lazing beside a pool...with lemonade in glasses for when they get thirsty.
DP looks dashing in Bermudas and a red tee. He has his aviator shades on. AP has put on her swimsuit, but being the old fashioned lady she is, she has draped a dressing gown over it. After all she has her Devarji and grown up sons there..and she has no wish of fraternising with Devars like the modern Swara does.
RP, has his swimming trunks on...he wants to take a dip. Suju has her swimsuit on too...she will accompany him. Water romance. You see, they have their anniversary today. We know how charmingly cootchie-coo this couple are...they are after all the creators of drool-worthy Sanskaar.
AP: Tel do nah Sujata.
Suju: Haan jiji...ye lijiye.
See, DP and RP's late father...Mr. G.Maheshwari, had everything he wanted in life. A lot of money, reputation, able sons to carry on his name...and their mother. He only had one pet peeve🥺. He had a bald shining pate ever since he turned 30. His father had the same. His father's father had the same. His father's father...yeah, the taklu gene runs among the Maheshwari male line since Adam Maheshwari wed Eve Gadodia.(yeah, they found no other girls for their sons. Just the mental Gadodia sisters😒)
RP however is 54 years old...and still has a head full of hair. (DP has often wondered whether his brother was exchanged at the hospital, but considering he does have their father's nose and mother's eyes, he has to firmly reject the thought.)
Suju brought this hair oil for him after they got married😛...and has been massaging him these last 30 years of marriage every Sunday. Sanskaar and Adarsh knew this..and to guard themselves against the fate of their poor ancestors, they have lathered themselves with this oil since childhood. Ergo, both have strong rooted hair😃...which even Parineeta's clawing when they do umm-umm.😉.and Sanskaar pulling at his when he acted crazy, has not worn thin. Laksh hates the smell😔..he never shared in it, even when his brothers offered it. This impulsive behaviour will someday cost him. The curse😡 which was given by a chamatkari baba on the first living AgniPurush of the Maheshwari family, because he sold the jata of the baba to make two pice(you know how business minded Marwaris are😃)...will befall him someday😈.
AP is still trying to raise a crop of hair on her revered husband's head. So she borrows it from Sujata. I strongly suspect, DP's hair was too far gone already. The oil never has any effect.😕
DP: AnuPunu😊...(lovingly, no one else is nearby)...iss tel se kuch nahi hota. Bass badbu.(**wrinking his nose**)
AP: Dugguji.😊..thoda maalish hi toh hain. Ummeed pe duniya teeki hain.
DP does not argue further. He loves AP's soft hands massaging his head. Ahhh. He sits back, relaxes...and sighs comfortably with the sports news page. A sweet soft breeze, plays on his head, deftly being in tandem with AP's fingers...lulling him to rest.
Bahar bacche lawn mein khel rahe hain.😃
Laksh is running. Fast. He is a late riser...and seldom wakes up before ten on Sundays. Today however its barely 9.45..and he is out of bed.😳
"Bhai...bhai.." tries to hide behind Sanskaar.
Sanskaar rolls his eyes. He knows, whenever his cousin calls him Bhai..it means either a horse is trying to attack him😆...or he needs something from him.
"Kya hua Lucky?" Sanskaar looks up from his gardening. He had been teaching Swara to plant seeds. Swara kept wanting to take the pots to her Ma Baba.🤔.and Sanskaar has firmly put his foot down. He wants them for his plants.
"Ragini...heeheehee" Laksh is shivering.
"OMG..what did you do my behna?" Swara glowers at him.
"Do to her???" Laksh shrieks. "Ask what she did to me. Your sis is no fluffy toy Bhabhi."😭
Ragini strides across the lawn, armed with some buttered crumpets. She is smiling exotically, with a smile like a cat fed on pudding.😈 I think they call it Cheshire Cat.
"Lakshji...ye lo." Offers him some.
"I am not eating them. Bhai..." Laksh starts crying.😭
"Kya hua Lucky?" Sanskaar puts an arm around his shoulder.
"Iss ne kal meri izzat..."
RP-Sujju, pop their heads out from underwater at this."Loot li? Loot li???"
"Loot Li." Ragini confirms, with an appeased grin👍🏼. Swara hugs her.🤗
DP-AP clap hard. Their Sanskaari ears will not have to hear the words haq😃' being demanded like breakfast, every morning now, in their dining hall.
"Congratulations, Ragini." Sanskaar gives his hanky to Laksh...Swara gets jealous😡, snatches it back...and gives him the gardening towel instead to blow his nose.👏
Ragini smiles at both of them. She figured, her only interest was her haq...and she hardly needed to go on with her revenge any more. After all Swara and Sanskaar were happily married..and Laksh had nowhere else to go to, but her.😊
Laksh calms down..and takes a buttered crumpet.
"Ragi???" hugs dripping from his voice.😳
"Hmm.." Ragini answers.😳
"Lets do it again."👏
"Chalo." Ragini links his arm with his...and they move inside. Ragini winks at Swara.😉
"What happened to Laksh? and why was she winking at you?" Sanskaar questions.
"Mission Accomplished Gadodia Sisters Wink that was." Swara explains.
Swaraginiii..Swaragini...background music plays...⭐️.
Sanskaar yawns, bored hearing the word mission already.🥱
"Arre...we mixed those love potion wala drugs which RS dayaans brew in their cauldrons. Amortentia(I love Harry Potter⭐️). It got Laksh to do what Voldemort's father did with his mother😈."
"and we-know-who was born." Sanskaar had already planned on building a steel armour for his baby..to protect him/her from the RagYa baby.😎
"Chalo nah." Swara tugged at him.
"Where? You may want to see your behna doing it again. I do not." Sanskaar firmly refused.😡
"Dhat. I have another mission."😉
"What?" Sanskaar groaned. He would have to watch over her again. He loved her after all.
"huhu. WE should do it too."
SwaSan fans, who were hiding in the bushes, like paparazzi on Kristen Stewart and Rob Pattinson...all stand up in shock.😲
Sanskaar: "we will do it?"😲
MM swimming pool gets a gallon of water added onto it. Khushi ke aansoon of India Forum SwaSan supporters.
"hmm..hubby." Swara has no more missions for now. Last assignment.🥳
