PART 2
Shivani in her nightie, is pouring tea into cups while talking to her sister in law. While Ashwini is technically her sister in law, her motherās death when she was 10 and her sister in law bringing her up like a daughter, always finds herself calling her Aai instead of Vahini, which makes sense because her niece and nephews call her Tai. Her SIL is chopping kotmir to add to the pohe. And Shivani can sense the uneasiness.
āToh basically, aapke dono bete nikamme nikleā Ashwini turns her nose and irritated at Shivani, āTu humesha meri mazaak udaati hai, lekin tu bhi jaanti hai ki jo Samrat kar raha hai, sahi nahi hai, aur voh ladki aise kaise chali aa rahi hai? Sharam laaj nahi hai kya?ā Shivani laughs āAshwini Aai, aapko na award milna chahiye, itni modern hotey hue bhi, startv ki saas ki tarah baat kar rahi ho, jab mai apne boyfriends ko ghar leke aati hun, tab aap pure mohalle ki auntiyan ko kehti hai, jab Ashwini aapke ghar mei rahegi tab aap uss pe ungli uthayiyega, voh apni marzi ki karti hai aur humei uss pe naaz hai. Aur abb kya hua?ā Ashwini makes a face and is about to reply when a deep male voice distracts her.
āMaa, pohe ban gaye ya Mai niklu, mujhe deri ho rahi haiā . Shivani giggles while Ashwini glares at her son, Virat, āIsse dekho, apne ma baba aur family ke saath rahega nahi, lekin pohe khaane subah paunch jaayegaā Virat rolls his eyes, not this again. In the meantime, his younger sister, Devyani comes rushing down the stairs, waving her phone āAai dekh dekh, Samrat dada ne photo bheja hai, ladki kaā his mother serves him pohe which he is about to start eating, when Ashwini yelps āDikha dikhaā the two girls stare at the pic on the phone, āNot bad- achi dikh ti haiā..āHai na? Thode kapde thik thak hai lekin medical college mei time nahi milta hogaā. Just then, his father Ninaad joins them, āKya halaa mach raha hai, Arrey Virat, tum yaha? aaj pohe bane hai kya?ā Virat has a small smile which is taken over by his sisterās Yelp again, āArrey wow! Yeh toh state topper thi, Abhi Maine google kiyaā Ninaad looks on, āKya chal raha hai?ā He watches his mother answer with indifference, āSamrat ne ladki ka photo bheja hai, aapka beta usse weekend hamare saath guzarne ke liye leke aa raha hai.ā Ninaad nods, āAcha. Zara mai bhi dekhu ladki ki tasvirā. He gets up after eating, takes his plate, his mother stops him and takes it from him, he sighs walks to the bathroom to wash his hands. He needs to rush back to his apartment to get ready and leave for his meeting. He comes out and all of them are huddled around the phone discussing the girl. He can hear the conversation, he is not surprised by his motherās tone at all and he knows there is only so much his father can placate his mother.
Ninaad says, āArrey Ashwini, usne apna choice decide kar liya hai, toh hum Kuch nahi kar sakteā Ashwini refuses to agree, āAise kaise decide kar sakta hai? Usse pata hai ki maine hamesha Pakhi ko apna bahu maana haiā His sister Devyani pipes in āOf course poor thing Pakhi, voh kitni hurt honey vaali hai, yeh ladki cute hai aur doctor bhi hai, isse toh koi bhi mil jaayega, Samrat Dada ko hi phasana thaaā Thankfully his Shivani Tai maintains some sense āWhat rubbish! Iss ladki tere Samrat Dada pe pistol rakhke nahi kaha ki mujhse pyaar karo, Dada sahi keh rahe hai, agar Samrat ki pasand yeh ladki hai, toh hum Kuch nahi kar sakteā. He walks to the dining table, kisses his motherās forehead ā Ladki ka naam Sai hai aur Jaise Tai aur baba ne kaha ki agar yeh ladki tumhari bahu banegi toh yehi sahi, Aai sabki life control karna bandh karoā
His mother is placated for now, but he knows she will be back to some tricks and rope in everyone else. He gets into his jeep and drives to his apartment. He parks the jeep in front of the building, the guard salutes him, he nods and enters the lobby where the girl at the reception desk smiles at the most good looking man she has seen, who only opts for the morning shift so that she can see ACP Virat leave the building in his fulll uniform everyday. He waves at her, making her day. He pressses 25 on the elevator and as soon as he opens the door, he pulls his Tshirt off his body and the same to his jogging pants and steps into the shower. Itās his daily routine, after work drive to his parents place, park his jeep there, have dinner with them and then walk back to his apartment, get up in the morning jog to his parents place, have breakfast with everyone and drive the jeep back. It changes when he has too much work or he is traveling. This was the arrangement or compromise his dad arranged with his mom when he wanted to start living by himself. His travels all around the state began to claw at his motherās worried mind and this way, she gets to see him enough and he doesnāt have to deal with her constant nagging. He wonders if he should ask for an out of town assignment for this weekend, away from the family antics and drama, but a part of him knows he wonāt be able to escape it.
