Remember when Chandni had come to Mumbai, how he had approached? He connects with people without intro! And he is adorable.
Pooja's happiness will face lot of hurdles. Not easy, long wait expected. But at the end all will be happy.

Yup! That banter was so sweet! Even we remember!
This incident has impact further.
When one too much thinks of something, wants something; one doesn't get it. But suddenly when you almost forget about it, god sends the gift your way. So keep reading. Good news will come after honeymoon but interim lot to happen.

Miku Shikha right here. When Dev Chandu left , they were sleeping. After Darsh came, they were in the group. Their part coming n next chaptersđ
Why you shouldn't be able to hit like or use smileys is not clear. Try logging out and then re-login. Maybe your ID will get refreshed.
Otherwise as I do repeatedly, report issue on Global announcement issue thread to Vijay. Many are doing it and he responds.
In this chapter I used the song, when Advay can't resist looking at Chandu's pic.
Love so Potent it becomes toxic
Tu jo najaron ke saamne kal hoga nahi
Tujhko dekhe bina mar na jaau kahi
(Just if you won't be there in front of my eyes, I fear I might die without having seen you)
Exact lyrics chosen; when love goes wrong.
Only Barun can portray the pain.
The song Roke na ruke naina, is beautifully sung by Arijit. Do enjoy. For lyrics translation you can use the chapter/ or google.

Picturisation of the love going wrong. Saw the movie with my daughter just yesterday. A series of sequences in film; but in Adni saga, Barun portrays Advay's heart experiencing the whole range of emotions.
Trials of Fire!!! Adni Untold Saga Chapter 54
IPK3 Season 2 Episode 124
It was a lively brainstorming session between close buddys!
Advay could not believe that his carefully calculated scheme was about to fall apart simply because he could not decide the right female to stage the plan. He had assumed that this would be the simplest, most straightforward part of the plan. Instead, it was proving to be astonishingly complicated with options getting rejected one after the other.
âLook AD, letâs not hassle ourselves over this. As such, one matter is decided. The entire operation has to be a surgical attack. No giving time to breathe........ because if he does, we will not be allowed to!....... So letâs take time, plan well and execute fast!â
Advay nodded with a smile. He knew he could trust DD with planning. DD possessed intellect sharp as a pair of shears. But of course, he would never put his friend in any risk of the execution part.
âYes I agree! You do the planning component, Iâll handle the execution.â
Darsh stood in front of Advay with his fists on his hips in a battling mode.
âDD-ADâ we are a pair and we stay a pair! We both plan and we both execute. Thatâs it! I am not leaving you alone. You know me already!â He continued as Advay smiled giving inâŚ.
aye saala
Dude...
abhi abhi huaa yakeen
ki aag hai mujh mein kahi
hui subaah main jal gaya
suraj ko main nigal gaya
roo-ba-roo roshni
roobaroo roshni hai
Just now the realization hit me
that I have a fire inside me somewhere
It's a new morning and I am aflame
I just swallowed (overpowered) the sun
I'm face to face with light
Advay smiled wide and joined in the singing hugging Darsh.
It was their faith in themselves and their unity that would empower them to achieve this mission successfully!
Pooja looked outside the window, âSo what are our plans for the remaining part of the day? Letâs ask Aadi what he wants to do!â
Naani spoke immediately,âAadi comes with me and Leela. Our friends have come here and some have brought their children as well; So we will decide what to do in groupâŚâŚ
As such, Aadi and I had agreement way back in Mumbai that he would show me around Europe! Chiku has gifted you this trip to enjoy your dream of college days. So go ahead and enjoy like a college girl!â
Poojaâs eyes sparkled with excitement, âReally, Naani? You called your friends here? So YOU planned everything?â
âIf my grandson can plan and bring Darsh here; then I am his grandma, after all!"
Naani held her head high smugly. Chandni and Pooja both laughed heartily.
" And I do have special plans for our lovebirds couple; so all of you keep one day free for my plans. I'll tell you when!â
Chandni got into guessing Naani's plan.
âCome on, Chandni! Let us then enjoy ourselves! Iâll take you guys around. Tell Miku, Shikha, Murli everybody to get dressed. We gonna enjoy nightlife in Paris!â
âBut Di, do you know your ways around? You have never been to Paris.â
âSo what, Chandni?I have lived in London, havenât I? Trust me and more than me, trust the Maps. Iâll give you one. Always keep with you and then it's just a matter of having faith in yourself.â
âBut Di, your Bhaiyya and Darsh?â
âWeâll take them on the way, no issues! Now stop whining and just letâs all get ready!!â
Everybody laughed. Naani was most happy, that old Pooja who had been the life of the family was seen again.
Pooja went to her room and locked herselfâŚâŚ.The cloak of chirpy bubbliness falling away and dark shadows falling on her faceâŚâŚ
What was all that about? Why did I feel like Darsh looked into my very soul during the song today?...... And WHY? Why did my heart leap for a moment? That too, after all these years?
No man rattled her, not any more!
Her mind took her down the memory lane in those College years when her womanly awareness had changed with DD. The childhood friendship had turned into something like a dreamy desire. In those naive years, she had believed him to be feeling same way as hers. But then nothingâŚ..just nothing had further happened, whatsoever.
In utter disappointment and some angry defiance, sheâd been foolish enough to fall for another guy and the lessons learned eleven years ago courtesy of her firstâand so called onlyâproclaimed love ensured, she didnât sweat the small stuff anymore. What sheâd endured with her husband, and the resultant fallout, had hardened her to the point of complete and utter cynicism.........at least for herself and especially for herself!
Not a great trait for finding any kind of lasting happiness; but then again, her husbandâs deliberate destruction of her naive love meant she didnât believe in anything long-term so it didnât fuss her.
No man perturbed her; she didnât let anyone get close enough. Yet DD, with his broad shoulders, smouldering dark eyes and his cheeky song had her discombobulated since the moment heâd strode in and acted as if they were the young dreamy collegiates even now.
Angry tears sprung up in her eyes in defiance. Damn the man! Damn him for making me feel more flustered than I had in years.
Suddenly her tears got the sad colour of anguish. Why, DD? Why did you not come then and say to me, that 'yes, there is something special between you and me."
As always, she allowed her sadness to flow through her tears, then wiped them resolutely to steel herself to get ready.
The gang stood at the doors of Le Truskel. Pooja had led everybody to Champs De Mars and from there, having met Advay and Darsh, all had proceeded to the nightclub.

Advay pulled Chandni closer, âI want you to enjoy this whole thing, OK Chandu?â
His arm was around her, protecting her, assuring her not to panicâŚ..His own heartbeats fast with worry with the memory of her last pub incident in Allahabad; though his lips maintained a happy smile for her sake.
She smiled up in his eyes, âWith you, Dev, there is no moment I donât enjoy!â
She looked around. It was crammed and cozy, with loud music and people dancing as if it was some party. Luckily, Advay with his arm around her manoeuvred her through the crowd. He explained all activities going around and the indie, electro-pop and punk music culture.
After some time, Advay felt her nerves relaxing under his palm and then he released her to go with Pooja, Shikha and Shilpa who were already enjoying themselves.
Darsh came looking for Chandni and Advay.
âHey listen, CD! Just listen to this song!â
âWhy are you calling me CD again? I told you not to.â
âOh come on! For our friendship sake, you can allow me one endearment. After all, AD must be calling you something special, right?â
Chandni blushedâŚ. Devâs endearments were so many and all her favorites.
âLook CD, you are not allowed to mind. These are My ways!"Darsh crossed his arms smugly, "And My ways, Always!â .
Chandni smiled. Darsh was a type of guy you couldnât deny much.
âWhat song are you talking about and why?â
âYou must understand this song female part and then sing with AD.â
âKaraoke you mean?âAdvay asked.
âYes!â
âMe? singing on stage?In front of people? Impossible!â Chandni turned away to rush from there.
Advay stopped her. âChandu. You can! I am with you.â
Chandni looked at Darsh,âWhy donât you sing? You are much better.â
DD was in a jolly mood, âI wish I could and for you, I surely would!
I have a concert planned here and as per the contract I canât sing in public places. You heard me already at home, next you can hear me at concert.
Anyway, the point is that of the song. Whoâs the Lovey-Dovey honeymoon couple here? Itâs you!â He pointed at Chandni.
Advay looked at what song DD was suggesting and commented nonchalantly,
âSo while you came to meet me here, DD, you also fixed up a concert during your visit.â
DD was prompt in reply, âAfter all, I learn from the best multi-tasker!â He pointed back at Advay.
"Honestly, they had been requesting for a concert for a long time but I could not fit in my schedule. For you, I already rearranged my entire schedule, So may as well give the guys some time.â He shrugged throwing his hand in air.
Advay turned to Chandni, âChandni, you must check the song heâs showing. I am all for it.â
Chandni looked at the song. Yes! It was something her Dev would want her to sing. After a little while Chandni and Dev sang on stage.
I can show you the world
Shining, shimmering splendid
Tell me, princess, now when did
You last let your heart decide?
I can open your eyes
Take you wonder by wonder
Over sideways and under
On a magic carpet ride
A whole new world
A new fantastic point of view
No one to tell us no
Or where to go
Or say we're only dreaming
Chandni gathered her courage. Advay pressed her hand gently.
A whole new world
A dazzling place I never knew
But when I'm way up here
It's crystal clear
That now I'm in a whole new world with you
Now I'm in a whole new world with you
Unbelievable sights
Indescribable feeling
Soaring, tumbling, freewheeling
Through an endless diamond sky
A whole new world (Don't you dare close your eyes)
A hundred thousand things to see (Hold your breath, it gets better)
I'm like a shooting star
I've come so far
I can't go back to where I used to be
A whole new world(Every turn a surprise)
With new horizons to pursue (Every moment, red-letter)
I'll chase them anywhere
There's time to spare
Let me share this whole new world with you
A whole new world (A whole new world)
That's where we'll be (That's where we'll be)
A thrilling chase
A wondrous place
For you and me
Everybody clapped at the duo, but the loudest ovation came from the front row where the entire family stood clapping loudly and hooting for their loved honeymoon pair.
âBhabhi, you were miraculous!â Pooja exclaimed hugging Chandni as she stepped down the dais.
âYes Jiji, I couldnât believe you singing this song suddenly.âShikha was surprised.
âDi-Shikha, shall I share a secret?â
âYes!â All three Pooja, Shikha and Shilpa spoke in unison.
âFirstly, I knew the song from the animated movie of Alladdin. And then, between Dev and me, whenever I get scared, he presses my hand gently assuring me and then all my fear goes away.â
âOhhhhhhhh! So thatâs the loving secret!â Pooja was very happy for her sis in law.
âDidi, where are all the men gone?â Shilpa asked.
All three turned around only to find that the men had all disappeared.
âOk! Let us give them some free time. In the meanwhile let us girls enjoy by ourselves.â Pooja consoled the crowd.
After a short while, Chandni got up from the gang, âIâll just check for Dev once and be back.â
Shikha got up, âDonât go alone, Jiji. Iâll come with youâ
As both of them walked a little to look for the menâs gang, Darsh came towards them.
âHi! You girls enjoying?â
âYes! Darsh where is..â
âCD, you sang damn well. Iâm proud of you,girl!â
Shikha leaned against Chandni, âMy Jiji is the coolest one!â
âOh! I thought she is the hottest one, arenât you CD?â Darsh teased Chandni.
âStop it, Darsh! Just tell me where is..â
âWhy are you two moving around? Where are the rest two?"
âWe just came to seeâŚ.â
âNo, No! You must all four stay together. Go back!â
âBut we came to seeâŚ..â
âMe, right? So you have met me, now go back.â
Darsh almost pushed Chandni and Shikha back.
Shikha was suspicious immediately, âJiji,something is suspicious. Daal mein kuchh kala hai.â
Chandni was suddenly scared. Has Dev met some of his old women?
Both went looking for Advay and Veer. As soon as the brothers saw them, Advay got up and went to the other side of the couch before they reached.
Chandni was first relieved that it was just him and Miku and no obnoxious females lurking over Dev.
âWhat are you doing, Dev?â
âNothing Chandu! Just attending some important calls in office.â He had earphones on him.
âI took away your Bluetooth and you still are attending office calls with some earphones? When will you relax?â
âAt home with you!â Advay winked at her.
Chandni hated it when he overruled her wishes for his relaxation and was so raunchily smug about it.
Miku smiled bright at both of them.
âWhy are you smiling so much?â Shikha was suspicious but couldnât pinpoint what it was.
âHappy! I am happy! We are all here in Europe.â
Miku was suspiciously prompt in his answer. Shikha got a feeling she was missing something..... something important!
âShikha, you girls are enjoying yourselves,right? I hope no issues!â Advay asked diverting her focus.
âNo Jiju! We are enjoying. But why are you people not joining us? Why sitting here?â
âJust like that! Trying to relax! You can go and sit with Pooja. Donât separate from the other girls. It will be difficult to trace otherwise.â
Chandni and Shikha both left, not completely satisfied but neither able to pinpoint anything objectionable.
As soon as they left, Advay passed the hidden beer glass back to Miku. Both clicked together with cheers! Darsh had urged all to take drinks. Advay was used to drinks before from London days. For Miku, it was new experience. But he enjoyed it!
When Chandni and Shikha returned back to Pooja, she was engrossed in some talk with Darsh. Shilpa was not to be seen.
Chandni stopped Shikha from approaching the duo. âCome, letâs check where Shilpa is?â
Both found Shilpa with Murli who was urging her to dance. They were in jolly mood.
Chandni firmly instructed Murli not to leave Shilpa alone.
When both Chandni and Shikha returned back, Pooja sat alone.
âDi, where did Darsh go?â
âBack to Bhaiyya. Perhaps they are dancing.You want to go and see them?â
âWe just met Miku and him. Letâs sit for a while. Weâll go later.â
âSo tell me, girls! Are you gals enjoying?â
âYes Di! Hugely enjoying!â Shikha answered promptly with so much excitement that both Chandni and Pooja laughed.
âYou, Chandni?â
âItâs nice! But I am not used to such enjoyment. In Allahabad, Shikha, Meghna and I used to have our own fun! I prefer that kind of enjoyment.â
âYes Didi! Jiji used to play Frisbee with plates in kitchen and once Jiju had been cut.â
Pooja laughed, âTeer nishane pe, hai na Chandni?â (Dart on the target)
Chandni blushed. Suddenly she wanted to be back with Dev.
âCome Di! Letâs go and check what our men are doing.â
They saw Darsh first! He was dancing in the crowd. People seemed to know him well and everybody crowded around him dancing. His rhythm was so fast, Both Chandni and Shikha were mesmerized. But Pooja noticed the sad eyes raised to the sky, perhaps holding back tears from rolling down.
They watched him for some while. But then Chandni wanted to go and see Dev. She left Pooja and Shikha and moved away.
He was not where she had last seen him. A little farther, she saw Miku and asked him to go where Shikha was standing.
Chandni went searching for Dev. It took her a while and before she could see him, he saw her, his eyes pulling her towards him like a magnet.
âWhat happened, Chandu? Are you hungry or something? You look tiredâŚ.. whatâs the matter?â He was concerned with Chandni's tired look.
âMaybe itâs too loud for my liking? Could we possibly go home, please?â
âOf Course, we can! Letâs check if anybody else wants to join us otherwise let them continue enjoyment.â Advay reached for his phone.
In a short while, Advay and Chandni were home. Chandni prepared coffee for both and they stood chatting in the open terrace of their bedroom enjoying the peace.
âWhat was it, Dev, about you saying the place is Darshâs?â
âYes Chandni! Darsh owns this penthouse. But as he mentioned thereâs nothing mine and yours amongst the two of us for material stuff.â
âIs he very rich?â
âIf we start comparing notes, heâll be a couple of millions more! And yes, in real estate, heâs hugely invested, any day more than me. But he never flaunts his wealth or power like many men of his ilk.â
âNeither, do you! Is he same age as you?â
âNo, heâs two years senior to me! It was like him, then me, then Pooja and now itâs you!â
âNot just me! Itâs like me, then Miku, then Shikha and of course, we have Adi!........His parentâs story is great, isnât it? Heâs so lucky to be born to them.â
âIndeed! But sadly his mother is no more! She died of a hereditary disease when he was in his early teens. Thatâs why his choice of profession. But apart from being a scientist, he also supports his father in business. And of course, music helps him get his solace!â
âYes, he has a gifted voice.â
âBut he didnât take to singing earlier. It was after his motherâs death that Pooja helped him find peace in music. She encouraged him to sing. And thatâs how she got included with us as a group.Originally, we were just a pair. The two of us!â
âYou two are quite close, arenât you?â
âChandni, when I was brought to London, I was completely burned from inside. He was the one who helped me believe in humanity again. Somehow he connected with me and then stayed with me in spite of all my arrogant, angry ways.â
âBut then, you didnât contact him or meet him interim, he said.â
âI donât know, Chandni! We three were inseparable originally. Somehow, Pooja got married and then we kind of fell apart, even the DD-AD pair. He got a good university offer here and shifted to Paris. I was perhaps obsessed with you and he didnât share the same anger that I felt. And then maybe, also life caught up with us.â
âIt would have been great if he and Pooja were a couple, wouldnât it?â
âAre you mad, Chandu?" Advay's eyes widened in bewilderment with the mere thought. ..... "or maybe You are just born romantic!â
Advay laughed at her, "As I said, we three were great friends, Just FRIENDS! I donât think any one of us would think that way and I surely wouldnât expect him to marry Pooja just because we were friends. ....."
âWhy not? We two were friends, too!â
âWell, maybe more because; we two had been friends and then I had imagined betrayal with you such that I was not ready to lose his and my friendship by putting it under restriction of a relationshipâŚâŚâŚ
And also, heâs different from me in that matter. While I had many female friends, he had just one, Pooja. He never allowed anybody else to come closer to him.â
âHummâŚâŚ you surely had many babes!â Chandniâs raised her brows in disdain and her face drained of all her earlier happy enthusiasm.
âChandni, didnât I explain you that already?Tell me, when you came looking for me today, you were worried that I was with some other women, werenât you?â
Chandni kept her eyes glued to his feet, her eyes were shimmering with unshed tears. Advay reached out and held her close to his heart, patting her head softly.
âChandoooo, I told you before and I repeat again. Learn to trust me! Itâs so important for me that you do; so you must!â
He lifted her up in his arms and returned to the bed.Then he proceeded to explain his words in 'detailed action' to her.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
So Surgical Attack Planning is on! Let's hold our breaths and see what happens next.
While Advay wants to protect his Friend, Darsh wants to stand equal with him in every battle. True Comradeship and fear of nothing as portrayed in the apt song!
What plans does Naani have in Mind? Let's join Chandni in guessing.
Darsh's backstory is unfolding slowly. Do you gals have any guess/any ideas as to why he never disclosed his feelings to Pooja earlier?
Guys enjoyed a beer. Kind of men's thing! But what happens when Chandu and Shikha find out..... keep reading next chapterđ
Don't miss the pleasure of Darsh's song on you tube. The verse signifies when one finds the fire within oneself and is ready to take up any challenge and the picturisation shows the kind of comradeship that exists between Advay and Darsh!
The dialogue at 1:51 by Sharman is so beautiful, don't miss!
The song sung by Advay Chandni in karaoke , worth another post, do check!
Sharing from my heart!
My daughter's exams got over and I accompanied her for a movie of her choice, "Aladdin!" She and I had checked the trailer earlier; but the movie turned out to be far far better than my expectation.
We all have a cartoon image of Genie in our mind's eye and I was worried it would become a caricature if a person was made to enact; but Will Smith nailed it...... he went and created truly a whole new world of Genie magic in front of us. Now suddenly the cartoon doesn't appeal so much. I am all for Will Genie.
The casting of the film is perfect and the presentation mind blowing!
Couldn't resist the temptation of using the song for my loved AdNi pair going on honeymoon, especially after the imagery he created in front of her and our eyes with the new globe gifted to her.
If you have daughters or sons, please do take them for this movie and you'll find the child within you!
