Shanky entered the hotel... Yet same name is hammering vividly against the...Rahel!!! Rahel!!! And Rahel!!!
Shanky : Is Nandita gone mad...Who is Rahel ?? Man??? Ek minute (he imagines Nik is intimate to Pallavi with 5 kids..and imagines Nik is saying " Lets have our chotu ice- cream after Dahi vada.. Last time naa...maan jao...and Pallavi shy away) ....and makes fun of Nik making faces ...
By then Nik comes...
Shanky just pats his back and mocks..
Shanky: Arrey O Nik kitne bacche they???
Nik mockingly says ..
Nik: Paanch!!! Kyun...tumhe memory loss hai...
Shanky: Nahi...Rahel kon hai re??? Koi kumbh ke me mein bichar vichar gaye they kya??? Aur Pallavi keh rahi honge mere Rahel aayenge!!!
Nik : Just Stop!! Damn It!!! Kya fizool ki baat laga rakha hai...Kon Rahel???Kaisa Rahel???
Shanky : Yaar jab se hotel aaya hoon tab se deewar ki uss paar naa jaane sirf ek naam sun raha hoon Raahel!!!!!
Nik : You must have gone mad....just go to doctor...
Shanky : No...Man!! Tum sun lo naa..haa abhi hogi bhi yaa nahi?? (Peeps of the door)..
By then Nandita comes out and dite on couch lil distant..with magazine in hand...
Nik: Please make my ticket...I am off to New York... Michelin mein kuch kaam hai...please do take care..ki yaha kuch gadbad naa ho..Pallavi kabhi bhi bulaye toh jaana..she may need help...
Shanky: Oye!!! hoye!!! Bada pyaar aa raha hai pabbi pe...hmmm!!!(mockingly)..
Nik just see him like nothing...
Nik : Aur haan!!! Mere aane tak koi bhi custody, court ki karwayi nahi hogi...koi procedure shuru naa ho..Got it....
(by then Shanky got busy in munching new biscuit he got at party)
Nandita heard it carefully and again goes for call
Shanky: Hm..hmm...(he barely heard)
Nik went out...Manna came in ...
Manna: Shanky spy!! (Thats what she called him in childhood while playing Spy Police) what's up???
Shanky: Nothing much..take this wafer biscuit with coffee..Btw!! Mannu ... Yeh ab Rahel kon hai??? Any idea??? Suna kabhi unke mooh mein???
Manna remembers but couldn't find anything..
Manna: Kyun ..who said...Dad??
Shanky: Your aunt Nandi!!!
Manna found it lil fishy...but leaves casually...
Shanky: Mannu Spy!!! Did your tell anything to me else,you heard...
Manna: About what???
Shanky mistakenly utters the court, custody issue to Manna...
Manna was sad a bit, as she was also living with Pallavi and family..and didn't wanted any mess...
Manna : Why dont you ask dad.. What he told you?? You ring him ...
Shanky: But ab tak 1 ghanta ho gaya...airport pohoch bhi gaya hoga..airport saamne hi toh hai...phone bhi switch off kar bhi di hogi..jaate jaate busy bhi ho jayega.. Kya bola tha yaar isne...kuch ta shulta ho gaya.. toh gaya main...maar padegi, uss store room din jaisi...uhhh!!! (In pain..🤣🤣)
Nandi: Shanky !! Wasn't he telling of court related to court, custody ....
Shanky: Yeah!!! Haa ...haa..court, procedure..
Nandita (smirks): He told you to make papers of custody case of Gagan & Badal...soon he will start of filling for custody... He fixed the lawyer too...here ...see!!! (She shows profile)
Shanky was lil sad.. As she adored Pallavi as his sister-in-law..
But he has to do it...
Manna left too seeing the matter...she felt hopeless of having a 'normal family' .. So she waz back to "Hell Pub"...
Home is alone..Nandi gave every servant leave...and locked the door and put on the curtain
Nandi again called someone...Woh din door
Nandi : Kaam ho gaya...woh din door nahi jab Rahel ..is restaurant... Business ka maalik hoga..humara beta maalik hoga...naaki Nik yaa uske bacche....naa Pallavi...sab bikhar jayegaa... ...Aur kisiko pata tak nahi chalega...Mujhe saari zindagi Nik J ka bacche ki caretaker nahi banni...Hum teeno hi milenge..But till then Keep Rahel in control, else ...kuch nahi hoga...ussey jo karna hai business lene ke baad karna hoga...Not now...I dont want to loose this time just for his nonsense!!!
She cut off the phone...and opened the door ....
