She told him she is not interested. She didnt insult him or throw a hissy fit. She gently told him "You dont know me" "I dont even understand your love"

Now, I'm even more curious about how you would bring them together. Will Raanav up his game or will parents intervene?

Classic

“This car started but its making aclicking sound Diyu cant go to JNU and come all the way back to the Mall

“I WANT to get my ID made today” Diyuscreeched

“It’s a JOB ID yu will get to have onefor 40 years” Viveka chuckled;

“Jaanti hoon DEE pleez”

“I CANT… you know I am doing three things…substitute”

“Yeah yeah yeah” Diya interrupted her

“Well if you don’t even want to listen”Viveka manouvered the tight gallis in Rohini to avoid hitting people on twowheelers

“Deee please, Naina Didi wont take usanywahere”

“To KAHO Ma se bache”

“She already gets in SO much trouble” Diyabalked

Viveka looked sideways

The sisters were indeed a tight bunch

She smiled to herself

They all had each others’ backs

They were not selfish and catty

Sigh!

“I could hug you right now” Vivekamumbled

“So you are COMING?”

“Umm no” she laughed

Her mind wandered from Naina on to Inder to their relationship, then towhat she had heard from Abhishek to what he had said about the Parashars, andRaanav

And the declaration of love

She looked in her rear view mirror andchanged lanes shaking that thought off

“How can anyone love someone aftermeeting them 5 times and each of those 5 times insinuating the class difference?He thought I was a nanny at first, then he is in love? HOW?”

Her mind wandered to his physicalappearance

Someone honked

“Uff…. Shitt” she cursed

“Diii you are going to get us killed”

“I know I know I am sorry”

“I haven’t even worked at a cool storeyet”

First world problems, Viveka giggled

Where were we?

She put a lid on that thought until shegot to campus and walking from parking to her shared wannabe lecturers’ office area, she didn’t thinkabout it any more

“How does that work?” she booted hercomputer

“HOW can you be “hopelessly” in love?”

Naina had gushed ad hominem about howgood looking Raanav was, slim fit trousers button down shirt, the neat sideparted hair, the classic stunning handsome face… the look influenced by 1960sBritain, later popularized by Ivy League trust fund kids across America. Heepitomized glamor, sex and power…. Ruthless and unscrupulous

He stood out in the crowd at Abhishek’s, Asif on cue he texted

She smiled as she read his message, Hewas comfortable, cozy and warm, cared about economic and social development

“Uff,,, there is NO comparison dude”

Around 5 diya had sent her 10 beggingtext, she had snuck off from college despite Anubha’s instruction that shecannot be wandering the Mall in the evenings or take a Metro alone at night

She wanted her ID card so desperately

“I cant cover for you. Ma is in town…dekha kal tumne kitni pitaya hui Naina ki?” Viveka growled

The twins had left for college by thenwhen Anubha had grilled Naina at the breakfast table”

She had had a long day, and had asomewhat of a lovers tiff with Abhishek over what their plans were for theweekend

Papa had invited him for dinner over theweekend

Instead Abhishek wanted to go someplace

“Weve always been doing what you wanted” sheaccused

“Whoa?”

“I have gone across town every time tomeet you”

“Kya karoon yaar tere main Naukri chhoddoon?” he had barked

“It was a simple request Abhishek” shehissed when she realized there might be people watching them

“You have not..”

“Ruko bas” she ordered

“Keh raha hoon main aa jaaoonga… I amdoing a weekend office hours” “I have to help these girls out”

“I texted you last night… you agreed”

“But jaanta hoon yaar… help maangegi tokaroonga nahi kya?”

“Its your students and it’s the WEEKENDYou are supposed to be OFF”

“I didn’t get a PhD for taking a break”he took a swipe at her, in a classic misogynistic way

“Really?”

“Baad mein baat karta hoon” he hung up

Diya demanding she get picked up or “escorted”at 7 after ID card work was just the limit

Anubha had already called Viveka twice

There was so much fear and paranoia inher as a parent

“She was working with a friend in collegeI spoke to her Ma… she left her battery juicer in the car she called me” Vivekamixed truth with lies

They were one sibling tribe right?

“You wore that lovely green saree you didn’tshow me” Anubha texted as she walked towards her car staring a work email

She paused took a selfie and texted it toher mother

It was a gorgeous parrot green Chandericotton, with a large orange bird just in the pallu, paired with a blouse thathad the bird on both arm

She was known to wear the most classicand elegant sarees at the university she was part of a “secret society” of mucholder women that shared pictures and thoughts about true loom sarees

“Sorry rey I cant make it this weekend”

“Thanks for canceling after confirmingtwice” she bit at him snarky

MENN!!”

She arrived at the Mall around 7:45, rushhour traffic in Delhi was insane… on college days the girls were supposed to behome by 6

The store was on near a Zara… there wasenough foot traffic to make it seem like they were were giving away stuff forfree

She paused near Zara after spottingsomeone she thought was Diya, the twins wore the most trendy clothes to college

Far cry from how Naina and Viveka haddressed 12 years ago, Anubha had definitely relaxed and “let go” a bit

She spotted the 1960s catalog dude,refined and polished… wearing a navy cotton trouser paired with an elegant palepink cotton shirt with navy Toms on his feet, checking out a shirt a young ladywas showing him grinning and nodding and going back to his phone

Something struck her unreasoningly

She charged towards him

“Does your girlfriend know you havedeclared love to random acquaintances?” she accused pushing her glasses up hernose

He was startled at first but settled downquickly a look of searing admiration passing over his face

“What?”

“Does your girl friend know you are “hopelessly”in love with me?” she asked with a smile trying to bring a smile afteraccosting a man she had no personal relationship with

“Kalyani is a Parashar… she is my Dad’sbrother’s daughter” he said plain and simple

Viveka wanted the earth to part andswallow her

“Ufff” she cursed herself

Not giving him another look turning awayand walking off with her cheeks ablaze

He smiled slowly watching her walk away.Maybe he knew this was the moment from when Viveka would no longer be unawareor oblivious of his presence

There is trouble in paradise already. Who are the girls Abhishek is supposed to see on the weekend doing his office hours? He bailed on Viveka for them.

She had to go confront Raanav about the girlfriend. There isn't one. Slowly the scales are tipping in Raanav's favor.

Something struck her unreasoningly

She charged towards him

She's so spontaneous 😃 a crusader

“Does your girlfriend know you havedeclared love to random acquaintances?” she accused pushing her glasses up hernose

He was startled at first but settled down quickly a look of searing admiration passing over his face

“What?”

“Does your girl friend know you are “hopelessly”in love with me?” she asked with a smile trying to bring a smile after accosting a man she had no personal relationship with

“Kalyani is a Parashar… she is my Dad’s brother’s daughter” he said plain and simple

Viveka wanted the earth to part and swallow her

yay then she's embarrassed

“Ufff” she cursed herself

Not giving him another look turning awayand walking off with her cheeks ablaze

He smiled slowly watching her walk away. Maybe he knew this was the moment from when Viveka would no longer be unaware or oblivious of his presence

The guy is slowly relieved as he begins to see some hope and we are seeing hope too. 🥳

Is Abhishek trying to seduce young students🤢 😡???? He wants to have his cake and eat it too... hope Viveka finds out soon and give him a piece of her mind...

Hope your navratri poojas are going good Nisha loved the long awaited update 😉

Thanks for another amazing update . Raanav seems to be relief that someone will be aware of him from now on. 😍😍 I am relief too !!.

Slowly but surely he's starting to grow on her. He's beginning to have his presence felt even when he is absent from her radar. Charging electrons and bonding is going to take some time but the classic atom is making its moves .

Whether you are Dadu, bua savita , Smrita or Anubha or viveka, social media, no social media , this generation ,that generation , PhD , no PhD the first instinct you see someone with a girl, oh it's the girlfriend!!! Ha Ha Ha!😆

He's absolutely not going to mind it though coz he's starting to get some footage! She's has started to think about his looks folks😳

Oh I am so waiting to see viveka unravel and Raanav starting making his move guys.... stalking this page repeatedly inspite of being super busy.......

Nisha you have made me an addict 🥰

Viveka is known for her equanimity. Her emotional stability, her calmness and temperament when things are trying for her is her strength and gift.

That said, the biggest battles, biggest conflicts are internal, the ones you fight with yourself within. The choices that you make for your growth ....personal and otherwise are also yours.

It's a double whammy for Viveka. It's not for one minute about Abhishek that's her battle.For me it's utmost a temporary conflict. Her biggest battle is her life with Raanav in the future.

A socialist crusader's conflict with her personal beliefs, growth and happiness while staying married to a life of opulence in the near and foreseeable future fighting against income Inequality when her future partner is the guy who believes entrepreneurial creativity has to have enough incentive to thrive and sustain which by nature is an inequality driven concept.

happy dussehra to you all
