This is after Pallavi moved to deshmukh house… Raghav was heartbroken… he tried everything that he could and then when he realized that he has become a mess and its not worth it…. suddenly next day he brushed himself off, stopped calling Pallavi begging her to come back and got involved in his work forgetting everything that is happening with Deshmukhs and traveling mostly to keep himself occupied…sometimes too busy to forgot to charge his phone and be reachable… Pallavi was also too occupied with taking care of Deshmukhs and Mandar which is very demanding so often did not get time or think to even try to call Raghav..
few weeks later…
Pallavi decides to surprise Raghav as its been few weeks since she is at deshmukh house so she took permission of Mandar and Baba to go visit RR mansion… they were reluctant but mandar agreed because he wanted to create an impression on pallavi and baba asked to come back as soon as possible and definitely within 7 pm… so she left for RR mansion to surprise Raghav…
she told amma that she is coming.. amma has informed her that Raghav has gone out of town for a week and will be coming back this afternoon… so she went up to their room and thought will surprise him. Raghav came back… he hugged amma and both were very happy to see each other…he asked about her health and told her that he has an important lunch meeting and one of his friend/colleague is coming to meet him.. this is very important designer and if there is a partnership, it will be very beneficial for Jayati jewels.. so he went to his room to freshen up.. to his surprise he saw Pallavi there.. he was surprised and asked her how come is she here ? is everything alright? She said she came back to surprise him and is here for few hours and she was missing him. she moved forward to hug him but before she could hug him Raghav went to get his clothes from cupboard and nonchalantly said cool … I have a friend coming over for lunch if you wish you can join else you can rest …
he went to washroom to freshen up… Pallavi was confused because Raghav showed no excitement on finding her back … there was no love in those eyes just polite indifference … Raghav came back and has changed into fresh clothes already inside the washroom…pallavi was confused as Raghav leaves no chance to flaunt his abs while he comes out of washroom… he told her to take care and went down… Pallavi was disappointed but thought may be its an important friend… let me dress up… I will be the perfect hostess…may be we can spend some time after lunch together…
so she dressed up elegantly and came down to welcome his friend and the scene that she saw shook her entirely… Raghav’s friend is an extremely beautiful, talented and renowned Jewelry designer Anusha Reddy… she has an athletic frame, long legs, glowing olive complexion… she is very dreamy just like Raghav … in an alternate world they would have complimented each other well… pallavi hit her mentally what is she thinking… Raghav is her husband and they both love each other dearly she is just a friend…
here Raghav and Anusha are all chirrupy and telling amma their various rendezvous of childhood plus business trips they had together… Raghav was laughing like a small kid and interrupting Anusha in her tales here and there..pulling her leg and she is always ready with a comeback… it seems Pallavi is invisible to them… they did acknowledge amma who knew her since she was a childhood friend to Raghav and also engrossed in their conversation… though Raghav did introduce Pallavi when they were exchanging pleasantries but after that no one even took any notice of pallavi… she was jealous and seething with anger like anything but can’t do anything… around 6:30 Raghav reminded pallavi that she should better start for deshmukh house as it will take around half an hour to reach back … driver will drop him and then asked Anusha to stay for dinner so that they can catch up more and discuss about new line of jewelry designs they are planning to launch together as a joint venture.. Pallavi left with a heavy heart she had a sinking feeling that her actions might have costed the love of her life… Raghav has definitely changed and did not look at her the same way he used to before… she came back to deshmukh house but she is feeling very low.. she hated herself to put them into this situation … her mind started conjuring weird images of Raghav and Anusha flirting, laughing and may be romancing… it was too much for her to bear … she got down from the car, closed the door pretty hard that even driver got scared and stomped her feet inside Deshmukh house … there he is with a creepy sugary smile … Mandar wasted no moment and as soon as Pallavi is in started talking incessantly… he wanted her to go to the cafe where they used to chat pre engagement so that it might bring some memories back… Pallavi was so pissed off that she is no mood to do anything so she declined… Mandar was shocked.. Pallavi has never declined any of his requests so he pressurized her a little … telling her how important its for him to regain his memories so that he can take care of his family, take care of her instead of her taking care of him… but Listening this Pallavi had enough… she could not shake off the image of Raghav and Anusha laughing together and Mandar offering to take care of her was the last nail in the coffin… she burst out that who the hell does he think he is to take care of her .. she is married and she herself and her husband are very well capable of taking care of her and she is here leaving her home behind so that he can get well … everyone was shocked at her outburst .. baba jumped in and scolded her for talking like this to Mandar … after all he is her husband… she was appalled…and said he is no husband to me… I have a husband who loves me so much… I was here to fulfill my duty… baba reminded her yes her duty as a daughter in law of the house….then it dawned on her that how she was played by her so called baba .. she immediately decided to leave but Mandar came in between, held her hand and told her firmly to go to her room … she cannot go anywhere this late and without their permission… she looked expectantly towarda Aai and Kaka but after failing repeatedly trying to make pallavi understand that what she is doing is wrong and unfair to raghav.. they had given up and is in no mood to interfere… pallavi now understood the gravity of her mistakes and before she knew she has started hitting Mandar … first a slap, and got herself loose from his grip and then when Mandar got angry and came towards her..she took off the nearest available weapon that is a wiper and told him not to come forward she is wife of a don and pallavi raghav rao … she won’t hesitate to kill him off … even if it means to throw him out of the same terrace from which he once pretended to jump in trance…mandar laughed in her face after all she is very petite girl.. what can she do? but he misjudged and Pallavi got furious and chased him throughout the house hitting him with whatever she got ignoring the pleas of whole deshmukh clan….
I know its not as hilarious as I wanted it to be as I am no writer but honestly that will be fun to watch pallavi’s outburst on mandar…
