Dipika touched the room door and slowly pushed it open.. The nurse was beside Sri's bed checking the tubes.... She was just about to pull up Sri's blanket when Dipika caught it and pulled it up herself.. The nurse looked at her smiling and went off to get the medicines from the ICU..
Sri's eyes were closed but moving slightly. Dipika went over to her and smoothing her forehead softly called out.
Dipika: Sri! 😛 😭
Slowly Sri opened her eyes. She should have felt it heavy as she closed it again and after few seconds opened it. She looked at her mother and gave a feeble smile, calling out in a feeble tone.
Sri: Mamma! 😊
It was all Dipika wanted! She felt as if she found herself alive again. Like she was breathing for the first time ever in the past 36 hours.. A long wait and struggle. Even though knowing Sri was okay she was not fully satisfied One word from Sri's mouth was all she had wanted. And that was all she had got to make her deep down believe that, yes Sri was okay. 😳
Sri tried moving her left hand but Dipika caught it hurriedly and said.
Dipika: Nai beta..... Doctor ne needle lagaya hai...... Haath mat hilana!
Sri: (Feeble) Mamma.... Haath heavy hai!
Dipika understood her pain and just soothed beside the needle to ease the stress the needle had given!
Dipika: Hota hai beta.... Aapki tabiyat theek nahi hai naa, isliye ye zaroori hai.... Theek hone ke baad nikaal denge!
Sri: Mamma..... What happened?
Dipika: (Smiling) Nothing...... Ab sab kuch theek hai........
Sri: Phir why mommy crying? ❓
Saying Sri lifted her right hand to reach out to Dipika who caught her hand...... Only then did Dipika herself realize that tears had automatically flown down her cheeks, seeing Sri back to normal again.... She wiped her tears and said....
Dipika: Nothing beta..... Bas aankhon me kuch chala gaya!
Sri: (Smiling) Mamma don't know to tell lies!
Dipika smiled at Sri's guessing....... She did know her mother well enough for what a little child like her would know....... Because their relationship was like that...... ⭐️
Dipika: And I get caught by you..... Such me beta everything is fine now..... My baby was just a little, teeny weeny bit unwell..... Now you are fine.... Lekin ek promise karna beta, aap phir se kabhi aisa mujhe trouble nahi karogi.......... Mujhse aapko is halat me dekha nahi jaata...... You know Mamma loves you very much...... ❤️
Sri just nodded lightly when the door opened and the children's specialist and Sandhya with a bouquet entered....
Doctor: Hello! Good Morning! So how is little Srishti?
Sri just meekly looked at the doctor not saying anything..... The doctor and Sandhya just looked at each surprised..... Because Sandhya knew Sri was very naughty and didn't fear doctors at all....... Sandhya said him to start the check up..
Sandhya: (To Dipika who smiled in response) Good morning! (To Sri) Good Morning Sri beta! Ye aapke liye! 😊
Saying Sandhya extended the bouquet to her but Sri just turned away her head not even looking at Sandhya....
The other doctor took Sri's hand for checking her pulse but she just jerked of her hand.... 😡 The doctor looked at Sandhya who indicated him to wait......
Dipika: (Sternly) Sri! Kya kar rahi ho?
Sandhya: Dipika! Its okay! Bachchi hai..... Something is troubling her...... And Sandhya aunty will find out what? (Bending down) Sri beta! Sandhya aunty se aap naraaz ho?
Without looking at her Sri just nodded her head......
Sandhya: (Smiling) Aunty ne kuch wrong kiya?
Again Sri just nodded while Sandhya just smiled....
Sandhya: Aap aunty ko nai batayengi ki humne kya wrong kiya hai?
Sri just shook her head still without looking at her..... The other doctor just watched on as Sandhya tried to pacify Sri to get her check up done......
Sandhya: (Thinking) Theek hai.... Lekin aap agar nahi batayengi ki humne kya wrong kiya hai, to hume pata kaise chalega? Phir hi hum wrong ko right kar sakte hain naa?
As everyone waited Sri still not looking at any of them slowly lifted her left hand.....
Sandhya immediately kept her hand on Sri's to stop her from moving it..... But the action was enough for her to understand......
Sandhya: Oh! So drips nahi chahiye Sri ko? Needle pain de raha hai?
Sri just nodded once.......
Sandhya: Hmm........ Doctor ko daantein? Are needle pain deta hai to kyun lagana?
Sri slowly turned her head to look at Sandhya suspiciously.......
Sandhya: (To doctor) Doctor....... Aapko pata nahi...... Sri is a strong and brave girl.... Use ab is drips ki koi zaroorat nahi hai....... Nikaal dijiye!
Doctor: (Surprised) But doctor.......
Sandhya: (Glancing at Sri) Its okay doctor...... She will be fine!
The doctor agreed....... He told the nurse to get the tray.... As the doctor slowly removed the needle from Sri's hand, Dipika asked......
Dipika: Sandhya, Sri ne kaha isliye drips ko nikaalna!?!? ❓
Sandhya: It's fine Dipika'. Waise bhi bachchon ke hosh me aane ke baad drips rakhna safe nahi hai' Bade haath hilaye bina safe rakhenge'. Lekin bachchon ko iska ehsaas nahi hota'. In a minute if they shake their hands then it would become a problem'.
After the needle was removed Sri looked at Sandhya who just watched her'. After few moments she extended her right hand'.. As Sandhya looked puzzled Sri said'.
Sri: Flowers! 😊
The doctor, Sandhya, Dipika and the nurse all smiled as Sandhya gave the bouquet to Sri and kissed her on her forehead'. 😳
Sandhya: Thank you! Ab theek hai naa? ❓
Sri: Sri also thank you'. Injy was paining'.
Sandhya: (Indicating to the doctor) Haan'. Lekin aapki help ke liye hi tha naa'. Aapko jaldi theek jo hona tha'. Ab aap theek hain to use nikaal diya! (Taking back the flowers) Lijiye' Ise mummy'.
Sri: (Sternly) Mummy nai'. Mamma!
Everyone smiled as Sandhya said'.
Sandhya: (Catching her ears) Oops sorry.... Ise mamma ke paas de dete hain.... Aap check up karva lijiye!
Sri nodded giving back the flowers' Dipika took the bouquet and placed it on the near by table'.. The doctor did Sri's check up while Sandhya and Dipika walked out of the ward'.
Dipika: Sandhya Sri is (Stressing) fine now, right? ❓
Sandhya: Of course Dipika' Doctor se meri baat hui hai'. He'll give the medication today'. Lekin bahut hi high fever tha'. 24 hours continuous fever is not an ordinary matter'. Especially for children'. Actually to be truthful, jab maine parson uske fever aur condition ko dekha to I really was scared'. But she recovered fast enough'. But she is weak naturally' She must take full rest' Thode theek hone ke baad hum discharge kar denge'
Dipika: There is no hurry about discharge Sandhya' I just want Sri hale and healthy as before'.
Sandhya: She is' She will be' Trust me! 😊
Dipika smiled her reassurance when the doctor came out'.
Doctor: (To Dipika and Sandhya) She is fine doctor' Weak hai'. Medicines likh di hai'. Should be under observation for a day, just to be sure she just doesn't get infected again'. Lekin liquid diet start kar sakte hain'. No need solid for now'.
Sandhya: Haan Dipika' Let her take in more of liquid stuffs'. Juice, not cold of course, soups, barley water'.. She should get out the virus full from her system'. Ek ya do din she can start on solid'. (Checking her watch) It is getting late' Mujhe rounds pe jaana hai aur ek operation bhi hai aaj' Will see you after lunch!
Dipika nodded as Sandhya and the doctor left'. Dipika went back inside just as the nurse was leaving'
Nurse: Ab ke liye maine medicines de di hai'. Pharmacy se baaki medicines mangva deti hoon'. Afternoon kuch pilane ke baad baby ko phir se medicine dena hai!
Dipika: Ji thank you.... Main dekh loongi!
The nurse left!
Dipika went to Sri smiling'. Sitting down by the bed she said'.
Dipika: Bad Sri! Sandhya aunty se is tarah kyun baat ki? Wrong hai naa? Aunty agar bura maangayi to? ❓
Sri: (Shaking her head) Mujhe haath se injy remove karna tha naa, mamma'. Also Sandhya aunty is very nice to kids' Vo kabbbhi nahi dantegi'.
Dipika: (Ruffling her hair) Haan! Jaise aapne dekha hai'. Tumhe kaise pata? ❓
Sri: Vishal uncle ne bataye hai naa!
Dipika: (Mildly surprised) Kya? Vishal ne kaha? ❓
Sri: Haan'. Uncle one day bahut gusse me the'
Dipika: Kab? ❓
Sri: (Thinking) Usi din mamma'. Uncle ne last week phone ki thi' Mujhse baar karne!
Dipika: Uncle ne aapse Sandhya aunty ke baare me baat ki? ❓
Sri: Haan' Uncle voice bahut dull tha maine poocha kyun? ❓
Sri: Haan mamma' Bas keh rahe the ki wahan ek aunty uncle ko bahut pareshaan karti hain.... Unhe bahut' Hmm'
Dipika: Kya? ❓
Sri: (Thinking) Nai' Hmm' Uncle ko kuch karti hain, jisse uncle bahut gussa ho jaate hain!
Dipika: (Guessing) Irritate? ❓
Sri: (Excited) Haan'.Wahi' Irr' (Pausing not getting the word again)
Dipika: (Smiling) Irritate!
Sri: Oh wahi mamma'.
Dipika: Uske liye uncle ne kya kaha? ❓
Sri: Uncle ne nahi maine kaha'. Ki aunty bad hain, to uncle ne kaha ki vo bad nahi hain'. Bas very...
As Sri paused for another word, Dipika guessed it again....
Dipika: Stubborn? ❓
Sri: (Nodding) Hmm' Aur unhe bachche bahut pasand hain'. Vo unhe trouble hi nahi kartein!
Dipika: (Thinking) To isliye us din aapne aunty ko pahechaana?
Sri nodded as Dipika said to herself'.
Dipika: Achcha.... To he does know her likes and dislikes' Hmmm'. 👍🏼
Sri: Mamma'. Sri is feeling sleepy! 🥱
Dipika: Oh.... Beta! Chaliye phir'. Aap so jao!
Saying Dipika got up from the bed and adjusted Sri's covers'. She stayed beside for a while Sri slept'.. Then she went to sit by the couch near the bed'.
Past few days were busy in many terms for Dipika'.
She had taken her days off from office'. Gone to Pune'. Got Sri' Shopping' Planning'. Sri's illness'. But the unexpected was Aryan's visit to her house'. She had not expected it but now in a way felt relived because he knew the truth'. At least half of it' She wondered when she was going to tell the remaining truth to him and wondered how he would react to it? But if she knew him well enough this would not be any matter to him' 😊
She smiled as she thought' Here she was unsure of her own future and she was all set to make Vishal's future'. But life has to go on' No one stops for anyone'. And she would never want Vishal to stop for her'. Because if he was alone nothing was wrong but someone else was dependant on him'. Then she remembered that she and Sandhya had planned something'.. Vishal's mom was also in town which meant Sandhya should have gone home that day'. She had to ask about his reaction'. 🤔
That Day''. The day Dipika had returned to Mumbai with Sri'.
Dipika opened the door smiling as Sandhya entered the house'.
Dipika: Hi! Come in! 😊
Sandhya came in and Dipika showed her the couch to sit'.
Dipika: Hot or cold? ❓
Sandhya: Cold' Actually abhi lunch karke aayi hoon' But outside is head splitting heat!
Dipika: (Going to the kitchen) I know' Mumbai's hottest time' (Coming out with two glasses) By the way maine aapko disturb to nahi kiya naa? Hospital me kaam bahut hoga!
Dipika opened the fridge getting out the orange juice bottle and poured in the glasses'. Sandhya went up to her and said'.
Sandhya: Nai' Today was a normal day'. Jab operations hote hain tab hi mujhe bahut kaam hota hai'. I finished my rounds in the morning'. Isliye taking few hours from the hospital was no matter'.
Dipika: (Giving Sandhya the glass) But must be a huge responsibility handling such a big hospital!
Both of them walked back to the couch'.
Sandhya: (Sitting down) I know'. Maine D' Souza uncle se bahut kaha ki I am too young to handle such a big responsibility'. (Sipping the juice) Jab main unki assistant thi tab hi I felt very stressed out with the responsibilities'. Ek dar sa reheta hai ki kaheen humse galti naa ho jaye'. As a doctor I am very confident'. But running a hospital!?!?!? But D' Souza uncle and his family have their full confidence on me'. They let me take decisions on my own'. And support them too' That really is a big thing for me at my age!
Dipika: I understand' With the same trust can I we speak freely? About Vishal!
Sandhya looked at Dipika and simply answered'.
Sandhya: Jab aapne mujhe yahan bulaya tha, tab hi main samajh gayi thi ki aap Vishal ke baare me hi baat karna chahathe the!
Dipika: You are smart Sandhya'. Aur tumhare jaisa hi koi Vishal ke liye theek hai'.
At this Sandhya started laughing'.. 😆
Dipika: Why? What is there to laugh?
Sandhya: Actually it is the opposite way Dipika'. For Vishal any one would do, because girls for him are no shortage'. Lekin mere liye sirf Vishal hi hain'. Dipika' Vishal is one of a kind I have seen who respects woman'. Her passion and her profession'. Warna aaj ke zamaane me jitney divorces hote hain unka base unke profession aur ego hain'. My personal experience speaks'. 😕 Meri achchi dost Dipika' Married actually a person she loved'. Both of them were from different fields'. Lekin shaadi ke baad'. No give and no take'. Policy follow karni ki kya? Sochna tak vo nahi chahate the'. Only one year, they got divorced'. Tab se mujhe shaadi ke system me, aaj ke society me belief hi naa tha'. I decided'.. I dedicated my life to my profession'. Many proposals had come'. For love, for marriage'. But for me it was a no no'. (Smiling automatically😳) But Vishal' He was different'. Pata nahi Dipika, our first meeting was an unforgetfull experience for me' In many ways'. You do now'. Uske baad main jab bhi Vishal se mili, it was just fun' Main to jaise har kisi ko chedti hoon, especially guys.' Use bhi maine cheda' Lekin something about him attracted me more to him'. Uske baad kab vo attraction pyaar me badla mujhe khud nahi pata!
Dipika: I understand'. We talk about broad mindedness'. Revolutionary thoughts and actions'. Lekin jab such me use implement karne aate hain tab to koi uske liye ready nahi hain! Ab vo sab chodo' You really like Vishal' Lekin mujhe pata hai usne abhi green signal nahi di'.
Sandhya: (Laughing again😆) Hmm'. Acually red signal yellow me badal gaya hai'. Lekin us yellow signal ke green me badalne par vo rok laga raha hai' Puposefully'
Dipika: Hmm' Pehle usne mujhe reason kaha tha' Lekin mujhe pata hai vo nahi hai!
Sandhya: Haan'. Actually first that may have been one of the reasons'. But there is something else too'. Pata nahi'. Par jaise he wants to stall his yes'. But I know, it's a definite yes from his side'.
Dipika: Matlab?? Haan ya naa hoga'. Lekin he is waiting to give his reply?
Sandhya: Shayad Dipika' Kyunki jab bhi main ussse haan karvane ki koshish karti hoon, uski aankhein ne to keh di hai' Lekin vo un par bhi kaboo pa leta hai' Shayad agar main intezaar karti aur ek do saal baad poochti to shayad vo tab haan karta!
Dipika: Intezaar? Vo to bahut ho gaya'. Sandhya Vishal ka haan karna isliye bhi jaldi hai kyuni aunty ko bahut dar lag raha hai'. (As Sandhya looked on questioningly) Vishal ki maa' She is really worried for him now'. Jab usne police force join ki thi tab to itne missions me nahi jaata tha'.. Ab to its like he's become possessed by it'. Jo koi bhi sting operation ho to he readily accepts it, more like volunteers' Of course, uska kaam aisa hai'. Lekin desh ki seva bahut ho gayi' Ab CBI me rehke bhi vo kar sakta hai'. Sting operations ke liye kayi doosre bhi hain'. Aunty ko lagta hai ki agar uska ek family hota to vo aise risky operations aksar nahi lega'. Aur mujhe bhi lagta hai ki aunty is right!
Sandhya: (Smiling confidently) He will not go anywhere! Never leaving me'. ☺️
Dipika: (Smiling in response) I know Vishal is a goner! Lekin use patana itna aasaan bhi nahi hai!
Sandhya: Wahi to' I get to meet him very less'. Ab milna hi mushkil ho to main kaise use manaoon?
Dipika also nodded and both thought for few minutes'. Just then there was a loud "Mamma" as a little girl came running down the stairs with her Barbie doll in her hand'. 😊
Dipika turned around immediately and hurried to the stairs'.
Dipika: SRI! Maine kitni baar kaha hai ki stairs me bhaaga mat karo! Meri baat to sunti hi nahi'
Sri: But mamma, this was ugent'. Mili ki dress torn ho gayi!
Saying she showed her Barbie doll to Dipika' It was torn at the sleeve'. As Dipika inspected the doll, she asked'.
Dipika: Kya kiya tumne? Itna phata hai'. 😒
Sri: (Guilty) Vo kuch nahi' Bas khel rahi thi'. Dekhna chahathi ki kya Mili ko heights pasand hai'
Dipika: (Looking at her sternly) To Mili ko uchala tumne' Aur jab vo neeche aayi, haath se choot gaya aur uska haath, sleeve haath me aaya! Kyun?
As Sri bent her head down Dipika smiled and said'.
Dipika: Stiching aur uske upar design bana sakti hoon' Lekin Barbie ko fashion bana dein?
As Sri looked on puzzled, Dipika tore off the sleeve.... As Sri looked on stunned Dipika said'.
Dipika: Dekha, one sided sleeve' Ab sab fashion me hai' Humari Mili bhi latest fashion pehenegi' Kyun? ❓
Slowly Sri took the doll from Dipika and looked at it for a long time'. Something seemed to run through her mind' Some idea for a game'. Dipika waited eagerly to know how Sri would react'. Else of course she had lots of stitching to do'. Finally after viewing her Barbie in different angles, Sri looked at her mother and slowly smiled' She hugged Dipika around the waist and said' 😛
Sri: Mili looking great Mamma!
Dipika sighed smiling' Sri then parted from her mother and looked behind a stunned, shocked Sandhya sitting there' Realizing what Sri was looking Dipika turned around' She told Sri'.
Dipika: Sri! Ye Sandhya aunty hain' Doctor hain'. Hello kaho!
Sri went to Sandhya and giving a full view top to bottom, exclaimed surprised'..
Sri: Sandhya!?!? (Stroking her chin) Aap Vishal uncle ki Sandhya hain naa?
At this Sandhya looked surprised as Dipika came over and also asked surprised'. 🤔
Dipika: Sri! Kya kaha aapne? Vishal uncle? ❓
Sri: (Looking up at Dipika)Vishal uncle ne kaha hai naa Sandhya aunty ke baare me'. Aunty bahut achchi docy hain... Likes children....
As Sandhya nodded Sri extended her hand for her to shake.....
Sri: Hi aunty'. I am Srishti Gosh'. (Indicating her Barbie) Aur ye Mili hai'.
Sandhya looked up at Dipika who just stood there stunned about Sri knowing Sandhya that too from Vishal'. Sandhya too came out of her double reverie of knowing Sri been Dipika's daughter and Vishal talking to Sri, shook hands with Sri'
Sandhya: Hi beta'. Main Sandhya Agarwal... Aapki mummy...
Sri: Mummy nai' (Running back to Sri and taking her hand) Mamma'.
Sandhya: (Smiling) Oops'. Sorry' Mamma' Aapki mamma ki friend!
Dipika: Sri'. Ab aap upar jao'. Barbie ki fashion nahi dikhana uske doosre doston ko?
Sri looked at her mother eagerly and nodded'. Looking back at Sandhya'.
Sri: (Waving her hand) Bye aunty' See you! Come on Mili!
Saying Sri started to run up, but turning around saw Dipika glaring at her and then slowed her run to a hurried walk' Smiling Dipika turned around and saw Sandhya looking at her confused'.
Sandhya: Sri! Tumhari beti?
Dipika Haan Sandhya' Meri hi beti hai'. 😳
Sandhya asked no further questions as she took time to digest the new information' She had thought Dipika was unmarried' But she had a daughter of six years age! The girl did seem that age'. She must have had her reasons'. It was none of her business!
There was silence for few minutes'.
Then Dipika said'.
Dipika: Sandhya! Vishal ne Sri se tumhari baat ki hai!
Sandhya: I know' Mujhe nahi pata tha ki vo mere baare me kisi se mention bhi karta hai! Sabse kehke phirte hain ki main achchi hoon'. Lekin mujhse!?!? Oh! Is janaab ka kya karoon!? ❤️
Dipika: (Smiling) Is janaab ka mere paas ek hi ilaaj hai'. Maa! (As Sandhya looked on puzzled) Haan Sandhya' Vishal ki mummy keh hi rahein thi ki she should come here and stay with Vishal'. Kuch paanch maheene pehle aayein thi'. Ab sahi mouka hai unhe yahaan bulane ka!
Sandhya: Matlab? Aunty ji ke yahan se kya hoga?
Dipika: Aunty ji nahi' Mummy ji kaho' Maine aunty se pehle hi kaha tha ki unki bahu ready hai'. Ab time aa gaya hai ki tum unse milo' Aur saath saath Vishal ko patayein' Not a difficult task it would be then! 😃
As Sandhya understood she smiled at Dipika who said'.
Dipika: Ek minute' Ek STD call karni hai! Ek bahu ko uski saas se baat karani jo hai!
Saying Dipika rang Mrs. Malhotra in Bangaluru''..
Dipika: Hello....
.......................
Dipika: Namaste aunty.... Kaisi hain aap?
.......................
Dipika: Main? Main to bahut achchi hoon.... Changa'. (Glancing at Sandhya) Aunty maine aap se kuch maheene pehle kaha tha naa, ki samajhiye ki aapko aapki bahu mil gayi?
.......................
Dipika: Haan.... Tab samajhne ko kaha tha, lekin ab yakeen se maan lijiye....
.......................
Dipika: Sandhya naam hai uska.... Sandhya Agarwal!
.......................
Dipika: Baat karengi ussse? ❓
.......................
Dipika: (Laughing😆) Haan... Neki aur pooch pooch! Ek minute'.
Saying Dipika extended the phone to Sandhya'. Sandhya hadn't taken anything seriously till now'. But the thought of talking to her would be mother-in-law made her nervous'.. She looked scared at the phone and Dipika shaking her head' Dipika nodded to her and thrust the phone in her hand.'
Sandhya: (Nervously) Hello! Ji main Sandhya!
.......................
Sandhya: Ji achchi hoon!
.......................
Sandhya: Main doctor hoon...!
.......................
Sandhya: Vo mere ghar ke paas ek raid ke liye aaye the tab mili thi....
.......................
Sandhya: Aapke bete? (Looking at Dipika) Abhi tak maane nahi hain! 😔
Dipika nodded to her and took the phone from Sandhya'..
Dipika: Aunty main Dipika!
.......................
Dipika: Haan.... Aunty wahan ek choti si problem hai... Usi ke liye aapki madad chahiye thi!
.......................
Dipika: Lekin wahan Bangaluru me reheke kuch nahi hone waala! Aapko yahan aana padega!
.......................
Dipika: Sandhya to ab tak cheh maheene se uske peeche padi hai, lekin aapka beta hai to'. Haan nahi'. Lekin naa bhi nahi keh raha!
.......................
Dipika: Aapko to pata hai hi ki vo waisa hi hai!
.......................
Dipika: Isliye keh rahi hoon... Aap please yahan aayiye'. (Glancing at Sandhya) Humare paas ek plan hai'. Jisme aapki help bahut zaroori hai! Sandhya jitni door Vishal se rahegi, utna to vo use yaad nahi karega'. Use uske aas paas hi rehena hai' Aur vo tab hi hoga jab aap yahan hogi' Kyunki aap hi ek hain jinki baat vo bina argument se maanta hai' Meri baat mere saamne maanta hai aur peeche nakaar deta hai!
.......................
Dipika: Such!?!?!? 😛
.......................
Dipika: Tab to theek hai... Parson main aapko airport pick karne aa jaoongi!
.......................
Dipika: Theek hai....
Dipika extended the phone to Sandhya saying'.
Dipika: Aapki saas aapse baat karna chahati hain!
Smiling Sandhya took the phone'.
Sandhya: Hello!
.......................
Sandhya: Ji aunty ji....
.......................
Sandhya: (Blushing a little😳) Ji mummy ji!
Saying Sandhya cut the call and looked at Dipika and smiled'.
Dipika: Are wah! Mummy ji!?!?!
Sandhya: Unhone ne hi kaha tha.... (Seriously) Dipika! Vishal ki mummy ko main pasand to aaoongi naa? I mean main'.
Dipika: (Understanding and taking her hand ) Vishal ki maa bahut achchi hain'. You are lucky to get such a mom-in-law'. Bahut hi sweet and jovial hain' Agar tum Sandy ke baare me soch rahi ho to, no worries'.. Vishal ki maa bhi thodi bahut naughty hain hi' Isliye to humare plan me humare saath dene ko taiyaar hui hain! (With a challenging expression) Ab dekhna Mr. Vishal Malhotra'. Tumhe itna pareshaan karenge'. Itna pareshaan karenge'. Ki aap to haan kahenge hi'. Aap ko haan keheni hi padegi'. Aap se haan kahelvaake hi rahenge! 😈
Saying the two ladies had a good laugh'. Poor guy! Guys are always in problem with a lady'. And that too when three of them get together'. Even God is at mercy! 😃
Two days later Vishal's mother had come to city'. Dipika and Sandhya met her at the airport and Vishal's mother instantly liked Sandhya'. Dipika narrated all the incidents about Sandhya and Vishal' Including Sandhya's first bitter experience which led to her meeting Vishal'. Vishal's mother was very understanding' She too had the confusion as to why Vishal avoided Sandhya even though he seemed to like her'. She intended to find out!
The plan had begun... Their first plan.. Sandhya's cooking.... Easy isn't it? To win a man's heart get through his stomach! And it was no need to mention that Sandhya was an excellent cook... She just had to make him taste it! 😉
Coming out of her thoughts. That day Sandhya must have gone to Vishal's house.. She again wondered what had happened?? She would ask Sandhya when she met her next time..😊
Dipika looked over at Sri sleeping peacefully...
Sri's first time in Mumbai had started well! Dipika just hoped that her vacation goes well too! 😳
