Tere dil ka mere dil se.. Rishta puraana hai..
Ram woke up from his nap.. Vik Neha were still asleep..
Chaya: Ram bhaiyya.. Dekhiye na yeh Kamal.. Kitna chedtha hai..
Kamal: Arre mein kuch galat kaha.. Dekho apne aap ko.. Bhai se bhi moti hogayi ho..
Chaya: oye.. Tujhe na mein baad mein dekhlungi..
Rishab: Chaya didi.. Aap narraz mat hoyiye.. Ram bhaiyya.. Aap apne chasme isse dedijiye yeh jee bharke Kamal ko dekhlenge..
Everyone burst out laughing.. Ram nodded in negative as he giggled along..
The children were engrossed playing chinese whisper..
Nutz: Finally hum bhabi se milenge..
Ram looked astonished: Bhabi? Shilpa toh aage baiti hai..
Nuts and Rishab look at eachother and smile.. Shilpa turns and gives all of them an angry look..
Shilpa: Kya bhabi bhabi laga rakha hai.. Pehele toh Ram bhaiyya ko milne do unse..
Ram stared at all of them.. Kisse? Yeh kya baatein horahi hai.. ?
Rishab: Aamm.. Woh.. Bauji.. Aap bauji se puchiye..
Amarnath: Haan Ram beta humne tumhaareliye rishta pakki kardiya..
Ram with a shocked expression.. Par bauji..
Amarnath: tumhe koi aitraaz hai Ram?
Ram: Nahi bauji.. Jaise aap aur maa tik samjhe.. He looks out of the window.. Thinking.. Mereliye jeevan saathi chunliya sab ne.. Aur ab bata rahe hai.. He smiles..
Kamal: Ahem.. Bhaiyya.. Waise bhabhi na dekhne mein na.. Woh..
Rishab: haan.. Bhai.. Woh bhabi naa..
Ram is waiting to know how she looks.. Haan bolo..
Nutz: woh kya hai na.. Chaya didi jaisi hai.
Ram widens his eyes.. Kya..?
Chaya: Arre jao jao.. Mein unke jaisi bilkul nahi hu..
Everyone starts laughing..
Krishna: haan.. Tumhaari jaisi bilkul nahi hai.. Bohot acchi hai..
Ram: whispers.. Kamal tere paas photo hai..
Kamal loudly.. Bauji.. Aapke paas bhabi ka photo hai.. Everyone laughs loudly..
Amarnath: oho Ram beta. Vikram ke paas hai.. Lelo..
Ram smiles embarassed..
Kamal holds his ears.. Sorry bhaiyya..
Everyone giigle..
Rishab: Vikram bhaiyya utiye..
Vikram wakes up.. Kya hai Rishab..
Rishab: Hume woh bhabi ki tasveer dijiye...
Vikram gets up with all enthusiasm.. And smirks at Ram.. Oho toh Ramji ko apne begum ko dekhna hai..
Ram: In an angry tone.. Haan toh..
Vikram takes a picture out and Chaya snatches it..
Chaya: Haaaww.. Yeh bhabi hai.. Shilpa snatches it from her..
Shilpa: Kya.. Impossible..looking at the photo..
Kamal and Rishab take the photo from her.. They kiss the photograph.. Bhai.. Uff!
Ram thinking.. Yeh sab aise kyu react karrahe hai..
Nutz takes the photo: Kya?! No ways.. Vikram bhaiyaa.. Aap yeh kaise mazaak kar rahe hai? And giggles..
Vikram: Arre koi mazaak nahi hai.. Waise yaha kisiko pata hai ki bhabi ka naam kya hai?
Ram: Arre pehele photo toh do mujhe..
Nutz: Arre puri zindagi unke saat hi bitarahe hai.. Toh abhi kya jaldi hai..
Everyone giggle..
Krishna: Arre ram beta.. Ab toh hum aagaye.. Khud apni biwi ko pehechaano.. And she takes the photo from Nutz..
Vikram: haan yeh hui na baat.. Dekthe hai.. Ahem..
Neha gets up.. Yawns.. Arre wah.. Were almost there.. Chalo baccha party..
Shruthi looks at Ram..Papaa.. And smiles.. He lifts and pulls her into an embrace.. Bolo..
Shruthi: hum mumma ko dekhne jaarahe ?
Ram turns red.. Everyone laughs..
Ram: Haan.. And scratches his temples.. Shruthi smiles at him..
They enter the large gates open for them..
It seems like an endless garden.. With mexican grass.. Bushess.. Flowers.. And trees.. The place looked lush green and colourful with various species of plants.. They parked the vehicle and got out.. Ram looks at the huge farmhouse.. It was bigger than any of his farmhouses.. It had a beautiful portico with hanging pots.. All of them got down.. He recognised.. Sudhir Sharma and Karthik Sharma.. As they greeted the family.. With Shruthi in his arms.. He managed to just smile.. He saw a woman coming out of the farmhouse.. Rishab Kamal and Natasha ran to her.. Shouting.. bhabi..
She smiled. As they took her blessings and hugged her.. Shruthi distracted him..
Shruthi: Papaa.. Aapki chasma do na..
Ram: Nahi shruthi.. Tum jao.. He puts her down and she runs along with the kids.. Everyone goes inside as he walks towards her.. She took blessing from everyone..
He looked at her.. Shruthi.. Went up to her hugged her and kissed her on her belly.. She huged shruthi back.. Shruthi looked at her.. And smiled.. Everyone else walked inside.. Ram walked up to her.. He smiled to her.. She carried herself with dignity.. She looked flawless.. Her eyes twinkled neatly kohled.. She looked divine in the peach saree.. He put his hands forward..
She did a namaste.. He bangled clashed with each other.. Her bindi was a big one with intricate designs.. He was lost in her beauty.. Simplicity.. The traditional values she had..
Ram smiled.. He too did a namaste.. Mein Ram hu.. Aap ?
She looked at him and smiled.. Mein Priya hu.. Andar aayiye..
She turned around.. Her hair was ver long.. Straight silky and shiny.. Her perfume was enchanting.. It wasnt rose.. His sisters never used this he thought.. He smiled at his thought process..
Everyone stood before god.. Ram left his foot wear and came..
Maaji: Priya..
Priya smiled.. Ji maaji.. And went to her..
Maaji: Aaj meri badi bahu aarthi karegi.. Ram aao.. Bahu ke saat aarthi karo..
Ram walked towards Proya who took the magalaarthi in her hands.. He held her hands.. her skin wasnsoft.. his heart skipped a beat.. as she moved her finger avoiding his touch.. he held her hands firmly purposely.. and they did aarthi together.. He looked at her.. And she smiled while she looked at god.. Her ears turned pink.. Her cheeks flushed..
There were no exchange of words.. They hadnt met before.. But her acceptance made her his..
Shruthi came running.. And hugged Priya.. Mumma mein bhi karu?
Priya helped her hold the aarthi.. And made her do the aarthi.. Everyone smiled.. Ram observed her care and love..
Kamal: Bhabi mujhe bhi karvaayiye na..
Rishab: mujhe bhi. Nutz rushed along with Kamal and Rishab as the all held her hands.. She giggled..
Ram smiled..thinking.. Risthe jodne se pehele hi.. Bhabi, maa aur meri dost bangaye.. He smiles.. There was something about her.. So much love and calmness in her.. He snapped out of his thought process.. As she placed prashad in his palms..
Shruthi skids and crasshes into Ram and Priya: Ouch..
Both Ram and Priya: Sambhal ke.. They looked at eachother.. And smiled..
Kamal: Ahem.. Bhabi.. Waise shaam ko shaadi hojaayegi.. Toh aap offically Shruthi ki maa.. Ram Bhayya ki ardhangini.. Aur khas karke meri pyaar bhabi banjaayenge..
Priya smiles.. Ram: Shaam ko shaadi? He smiles..
Rishab: Bhabi chaliye na.. Mehendi lagalijiye.. Bohot saare rasme hai..
They pull her away.. Shruthi runs behind her holding her pallu..
Ram smiles..
He watches her walk.. He is lost incher beauty.. Thinks.. Ek baar mudho.. Sirf mereliye..
Priya feels like Ram had called her.. She turns to look at hime.. He smiles miming a thankyou.. She smiles back..
Chaya puts on some instrumental music..
Everyone turn to Ram.. And together they shout.. Bhabi keliye ek gannaa..
Ram:
Tere dil ka mere dil se..
Rishta puraana hai..
In aankon ke har aansoo..
Mujhko churaana hai..
He looks at her.. There is a sudden emptiness in both of them.. It felt like they had been separated.. And longed for each other..
Tere bechaini kaa..
Tere tanhaayi kaa..
Ehsaas hai mujko sunn...
Priya: looks at his eyes.. They cared.. They loved..
Mein joh saath tere hu..
Phir tujhe hai kaisa ghum..
Dar baatlenge hum sun...
In palko mein khushiyon ka..
Sapna sajaana hai..
Everyone was delighted.. Everyone was busy with the preparations..
Her voice had translated his hearts emotions.. Their hearts.. It was a new safar.. Joh was saath mein tai karne jaarahe the..
