Katra Naresh, the rude hyena, woke up his sleeping wife Kesar and asked her to move to the open terrace of the Niwas for the night. He didn't think his wife worthy of sharing his bed bec' as she had slighted him and chosen to have his baby instead. Talk about being delusional!π· He had invited his kote-wali friend to share his marital bed instead.π· What a piece of work! π He ordered his wife to make sure no one knew about his undercover activities at home. On her way to the terrace, Kesar ran into her devar, the young lion king Krishna who wanted to know why she loitering around in the middle of the night. Kesar gave him a cover up tale and headed for her bed with open views of the midnight skies.
Krishna walked into the room where his sherni hurriedly reminded him that he had kept her waiting while she was so pareshaan all evening bec' she was anxious to share some important information with him. Tsk, tsk, tsk, Prats's got to pay more attention to her husband's moods when he walks in the door from now on.ππΌ Why does it have to be all about you all the time, beta?π² She needs to get over herself, at least once in a while, please! Krishna was determined to be the first to have his say tonight after spending hours alone, contemplating on the sorry state of his existence in the animal kingdom recently. He told her he realized that the current situations and her actions to address them were not her fault. As a husband he had listened to her and done so much for her but could she in all honesty give him one instance when she had done one thing he wanted of her? What had he got out of this marriage? So why did he deserve this kind of treatment from his wife who to this day wouldn't let him touch her? Good questions Baba!ππΌπππ You are on a roll, dude, keep going! That's something many of us have been raking our brains over for months now. He continued explaining that bec' of her behavior, the other animals in the family no longer treated him as the respected lion king but as a pathetic bleeting scapegoat. What had he not done for her?π² In return, could she name ONE INSTANCE when she had done what he had asked of herπ²?π€ Sherni Prats couldn't come up with one. She listened quietly and let the lion king have his say. Hard to say whether she was mad, shocked or a wee remorseful there.π He threw down the gauntlet with an ultimatum that whatever she wanted to say would have to wait. First she had to prove that she gave a toss about him by consummating their marriage.π€ Flowers on the bed or a sign on the wall would clue him in. π³Short, precise and succinct, Baba sounded more like Perry Mason in a courtroom than an illiterate today.πππππ
Baba asked Prats to prove he mattered to her.π€ Terrified,π² she pushed him away and challenged his "tareeka" of making his point, as expected. For a comeback she went back into her offensive mode and told him to listen to her instead bec' what she had to tell him was very important to the future of their marriage. Baba was tired of listening to the same tune. The lion king was back. He took charge and told her he was doing it his way now.
On the other side of town, Komal served her sasural another dose of reality without batting an eyelid. Way to go girl! Goes to show even an illiterate can teach the educated ones a thing or two. She called them out for trippng over themselves and treating the new lawyer in town like their new damadh who had just dismounted his horse. She reminded them of their hypocrisy in not giving their asli damadh the same hospitality. The Sax family's long forgotten manners and etiquette sorely missing esp. in the presence of a Takur, was reawakened by the presence of one of their own, an educated dude. The entire Sax clan ignored Komal as did the guest enjoying his hot cup of chai. Having made her point & flicking a snack off the plate served to their guest and went back to her room. Saxenas expressed their gratitude to Mathur in their own ways. Dadi blessed Mathur for getting a date for her Shamu's trial. Nainaji invited him to a meal which Mathur gracefully declined with a rain check to join them once Prof came home. Arushi drooled a tad at Mathur who quietly ignored her and left the house in a hurry.π
Piasiya finding a paayal on KN's marital bed decided not to miss an opportunity to expose the Takur family's skeletons. She announced the finding of Kesar's paayal holding it like a smelly dead rat.π‘ KN looked at it with fearπ² in his eyes like a man who had been caught with his hand in the cookie jar. What will SS do when he finds out about KN's extra-marital activities under the family's roof?
The next morning, persistent Prats wanted to tell Krishna
about the kidnapping again. He reminded her calmly he'd listen to anything she
had to tell him when he was no longer a naam ke vaste pati to her. π
Adarsh couldn't get wait to tell little sister Prats about Papa's date for the
court hearing. But Nainaji wanted to make sure things were fine with Prats
after she had told Krishna about the kidnapping. So when she called Krishna
rudely told her to save her inquiries to the well being of her daughter.
Krishna,come on dude,that's no way to
win over your in-laws to whom manners were of paramount importance!π
How was Komal not hearing some of this talk when she lived in the same house? πWas she not curious to figure out what her sasurals were hiding from her?π²
What a treat it was to watch the buzurg Takur and his young lion sparring with each other after a while! πππSS was back to his condescending way of talking to his wife and Baba. Baba walked out after reminding his bauji not to ask him questions to which he already had the answers. Bauji however had the last word when he called Krishna the deadweight of the world as he left the Niwas.π€’ππ²
Preview: The sher got off his bike to the accompaniment of his famous "Krishna Krishna Krishna" background music as he approached Mathur with a smirk on his face. Mathur like his client was enjoying his cup of chai leisurely. The two rams are about to lock horns come Monday.π‘
