I still haven't found what I'm looking for ~ U2
The hunger for love is much more difficult to remove than the hunger for bread. ~Mother Teresa
Love cannot endure indifference. It needs to be wanted. Like a lamp it needs to be fed out of the oil of another's heart, or it's flame burns low. All true love is grounded on esteem.! Georg Buckingham
Kesar watches KN literarily stuffing his face with puffed rice. She tells KN that she is just returning after inquiring Prats about Adarsh. Kesar says "Krishna and Prats are very loving and playful". He holds her in such way that I felt shy. They are so much in love. I want us to be loving like them. I wish we could also be loving, talking, in the end love is something worth it." KN mocks "What will I do sitting next to you? All this talk about love, mohabbat that you want to hear about it is nothing but a waste of time. Before I touch you, you need to get your strength back bec' you are weak." He offers her a fistful of puffed rice, while continuing to stuff his face, then with a mocking laugh showers it on her head and walks away. A flicker of recognition that her husband is still the same lying scumbag flashes across her face. He makes a mockery of her genuine wish to have a loving relationship with her husband. Poor girl watching Krishna and Prats together in love is giving her ideas and making her hope in spite of the miserable marriage she has had to this day. There is only one thing on his mind when it comes to his wife. Grrrrrrr! As long as KN is in her life it seems an impossible dream. Move on Kesar, dump this sorry loser and find yourself a good man who will treat you with precious care.
The willingness to accept responsibility for one's own life is the source from which self-respect springs. ~Joan Didion
Most of us can read the writing on the wall; we just assume it's addressed to someone else. ~Ivern Ball
Krishna and Prats arrive at the hospital. Krishna greets his sasuma and inquires Adarsh about his well being. Adarsh replies he is doing better than before. Nainaji informs Prats "Your sasuma came. She is very angry with you. She made some complaints about you to me. Prats I want to say that family fights should stay within the house so that things will be good. You taking your family to the police didn't feel right to me. Prats looks at Nainaji disappointed, Komal seems pleased, after all she forced Kesar and got her mother and brother off the hook. Krishna reflects for just a moment and his instinct to protect Prats comes to the fore he says "what did Prats do wrong? She did nothing wrong. What my mother did was wrong."Baba do you realize Amma's secret agent Komal is in the room. You better hope she is busy helping Adarsh recuperate and does not have a moment to pick up the phone and tattle on you to your Amma. She has a funny way of doing the unexpected thing at the wrong time. But then you'll figure out who the messenger was if Amma ever questions you about this.Adarsh and Prats are reflecting on the interaction. Nainaji, do you really have to bring it all up right now just after they come in? She tells Krishna "I understand what you are saying. But Prats has to live in that house na? Living there and *^*&( (sorry sound was bad, couldn't catch the word) is not right. Shamu walks in and overhears the convo. Krishna assures Nainaji "why are you worried? I am here na? If something untoward Prats I will leave the house. Komal looks like she is backing her sasuma. She really has changed her alliances pretty fast. No wonder Takurain is expecting Prats to follow her lead. That's the Takur way. But did Takurain ever follow her sasuma's lead. Oh, Ganti Dadi, please speak, we want to hear the stories you have to tell about your one of a kind, venomous bahu. 😲Prof. tells Krishna you will put an end to the troubles but after that where will you provide a home for my daughter? Krishna is reflecting, Prats is concerned as well watching Krishna's lack of answer, Nainaji looks concerned, Komal watches like she has a question on her mind "yeah Krishna bhaiyya, a valid question, if you left the house where would you go?" Adarsh is waiting to hear Krishna's response. Reality Check # 1. This officially begins the running tally of reality checks for Krishna starting today, seems there are plenty coming his way in the next few weeks and months.

Anger is a bad counselor. ~French Proverb
Amma enters the Niwas and riles into Piasiya for stalling on her request for a drink of water. Want to wash that anger down a little eh, Takurain? SS is lying on his cot strking a MahaVishnu pose and taking a quickie nap, his wife of course by his feet but a distance away in another chair. He wakes up at his wife's angry tirade "Why are you angry at her? Give me good news. Why are you after her like a cat after a fish. What happened?" Takurain spoke the three magic words "Prats's father Prof." SS's face immediately transforms into a vengeful tyrant. Amma fans the flames of his rage "At the hospital he said such things if you have been there you would have done his panchanaama right there." She piques his curiosity "What did he say?" Takurain elaborates " He said Prats can never be wrong. Yeah. Can you imagine, we have an infallible bahu, how can that we when all we do is nothing but fail at every turn since she came into this family" "We all got together and did the wrong thing. All her mistakes combined are small compared to the one thing we did. coal face paint her. He stood there and called us sinners, not me but all of us." Takurain at least the Prof. did speak the truth, you guys commit sins right and left with out warning. You've done it. The flames are raging in him now so stop and listen to his plans for vengence. He tells his wife " Prof.'s getting guts and he is showing us. His daughter is doing her jig here, and her father is doing his routine there so something has to be done. SS presses his eyelids making his eyeballs bulge. 😲 "Been a long time SS has come into his colors,[what colors would that be Takurji? You sound like a chameleon. Time to make arrangements for this baap-beti, a solution has to be found. Amma is pleased her smile breaks on her face, after all her husband is ready to make plans to put her need for vengence into action.😃
Love has nothing to do with what you are expecting to get - only with what you are expecting to give - which is everything - ~Katherine Hepburn
Nainaji invites Aman and Krishna to have a seat and offers to bring nastha and chai. Finally! Krishna is going to be served his first cup of chai at his sasural. Aman, the wannabe damadh has had his free chai served here one too many times already. About time he got some maan-maryada as damadh of the Green house. Prof. thanks Aman once again for taking Adarsh to the hospital on time. Aman tells Prof. not to embarrass him. But Prof. seems to keep doing this anyways. Wait till you find out your little Jai Bro was behind Adarsh's hit and run, what will this gratitude turn into at that point? Krishna tells Aman "Adarsh is fine what about you? You keep coming and going to Prof. house all the time. Are you going to do something about it?" Everyone including Prats is looking on in confusion. "Why are you looking at me that way? I meant when are you going to move the rishta forward?" Everyone including Prats lare relieved. With Krishna there are no filters, you never know what he is going to say next.😆 Aman tells them he is also waiting for that time. Wonder what that time is! With all the drama gathering steam around him without his knowledge any one of them can blow a pipe right at that "time"'.the time of your wedding, Aman babu. Aman clarifies "Uncle I has spoken to my parents and they will be coming very soon." Really, didn't we hear you say the same thing from the purple office before Kesar even lost the baby and that was weeks ago. What's taking them so long? Car trouble? Are they walking from their home to Mumfordgunj? We need a better excuse than that vakil babu. Krishna is pleased. Adding a dash of self-praise he says "Sabash, very good, you are like me, very fast." Not really Baba! you were much faster, this vakilwa is just happy letting things simmer and getting free cups of chai. "But understand one thing, if you love Arushi half as much as I love her sister (Prats) then your film is a bit hit." Trust Krishna to say it like this. I thought he didn't like laundiya type movies but preferred kabaddi instead. How come he knows so much about film vilm so much? Arushi shows her talent to everyone in the room, that she is the girl with the runaway mouth. "Why would he love me only half he has to love me fully", even Krishna is confused by her outburst😆. I was waiting for Baba to say "matlab"? but he didn't. 😕 Daadi alerts Arushi by tugging on her arm that puts the breaks on her motor mouth. Chagrined she runs away to her room. Krishna tells Aman "my saali sahiba is like me, ek dum clear cut. You will understand all that later." Baba's recently been adding a lot of Angezi words to his vocabulary😆. It's not Prats's influence so where is he learning all this from😲? Surfing the web on his cell phone?😕😲 But why is Aman blushing?😳 Krishna turns to Prats and says"you should learn too, sometimes learning from someone younger than you is good". Krishna wants Prats to shout out to the world that she is in love with him, he is not just happy with her loving him and expressing it to him in private. He wants her to open all the doors and windows and shout it to the world. 😆Prats smiles at him, loving him for who he is. How times have changed not too long ago, she hated his guts and wept in that very same room at the thought of getting married to him to save her family's izzat. Krishna is on a roll today at his sasural taking the floor and leading the conversation.

At Niwas, Amma, SS and KN are relaxing on center stage while Kesar serves them a drink. SS tells Ganti Dadi that SS Niwas's real bahu is Kesar. She saves this family from losing face with the court katcheri. Ganti listens with a stern look. When SS starts saying Prats makes plans to get them into trouble Ganti Dadi gives SS a disgusted look [no one seems to catch on, after all she knows their sinister plans now]. He tells Kesar "I am your sasur aka father. Don't feel bad, ask me anything, your wish is my command and your wish will be granted." KN prompts her to speak up. Amma, SS smile in pleasure. Ganti Dadi is the only one who looks on in disgust. After all she knows the truth behind Kesar's loss of her child. Kesar say she doesn't want anything material. "Ever since I got married and came to this house I have not been to maike, so if you will give me permission I'd like to go for a few days." KN sees the problem here. Lots of questions coming your way, you bully, that too Takur style from another Takur. Wait till they hear what you have done to their bitiya. SS smiles like a fool. He is pleased his bahu asked so something immaterial. Kesar, you listen up, girl! Go to your maike and stay there. These past years at SS Niwas is plenty. Don't return where you are not respected or valued. Start healing and regain your self-esteem and respect and stand tall.

SS receives a doctor's report about Kesar's health. He questions who would read it as no one in the house knows how to read. Kesar tells Prats is educated so she will read. The mention of Prats's name gets SS riled "We won't wait for her, we'll call the doctor and have her come and read it." He is finishing his call with the doctor when Krishna and Prats walk in . A concerned Krishna asks SS "Why are you calling the doctor? Are you alright?" SS gives him the cold shoulder. Krishna continues "What is that, letter? It's not a letter it's your sis-in-law's doctor's report" chimes the Takurain. .Kesar and Prats look nervously at each other. Krishna picks the report and SS halts him "there is no need for Prats to read. I am paying the doctor fees she will come and read it". Krishna argues "What is the need for a doctor?" He hands the package over to Prats. Everyone waits with bated breath to hear the verdict in the report. Prats begins reading the report. Amma is scorning. Prats mumbles as she looks at Kesar and nervously struggles to get the words out. She begins "Kesar has been injured badly". Amma immediately butts in "Lo, she is showing off her education again, you got another chance to lift a finger and accuse us, just read it quietly [without blaming us]" How is that possible? Either you go all for superiority complex of being a Takurain or go off the deep end with a bad bout of inferiority complex". Krishna tells his mother to put a lid on her antics and asks Prats to continue reading.
"Shattered dreams are never random. They are always a piece in a larger puzzle, a chapter in a larger story ~ Larry Crabb
Krishna seems to show more concern about the report than his parents, though SS seems nervous. "Read it and tell us if there is something to worry about?" Kesar is visibly nervous.Krishna is the only one who seems to be agitated hearing this "what kind of language are you speaking, tell us clearly what is written". Prats tells them all "Kesar didi serious injury has damaged her uterus". GD is devastated. SS is worried and so is every one else. KN is leaning back sipping his drink like he is at a beachside resort having not a care in the world even when the convo is all about his wife.😡 "Kesar can't ever be a mother." Kesar drops the tray. SS is shocked and Krishna is looking at Kesar with compassion and sadness for her loss😭. Ganti Dadi stands up on the verge of tears 😭and drops her bell in horror. Amma has delayed shock 😲and SS is devastated his eyes filling with tears😭. Kesar looks at Prats tearfully😭.
Preview: People who fly into a rage always make a bad landing. ~Will Rogers
Krishna tells SS "she read what was written. Why would she lie? You've lost it". SS shouts his name and pushes him, drags his arm and tells Krishna "get out of the house" Krishna looks back at SS his eyes angry. There is hardly any sign of hurt in his eyes anymore. The blinders are slowly starting to come off as far as his family is concerned. Pretty soon he is going to see and hear the truth about them. It will be a devastating blow far worse than his reaction when Prats withheld the truth about the kidnapping. This time it's about the very people who gave him birth and raised him with what he thought was unconditional love. His world will never be the same again the day he accepts the truth about the lot he was born into that will make him question who he really is. It will be a powerful moment of self-realization that will change the course of his life forever.
Please post your thoughts! esp. about the reality checks today.😃
