" Sweeet?? Me ?okaayyy, What ?? Waaaiiit ! She's gone mad. Well! It is possible that she might have lost her mind due to shock - back to back shocks - love confession, my identity revealation, her secret revealed, her mother decided to kill me, she decided to marry me, I decided to left her - that's a lot for anybody so yes she has all the rightto go crazy. Afterall she has all the symptoms" and Raj started counting,mentally ofcourse :
- first, she started laughing and can't seem to stop and he can't remember if he'd cracked any joke there - nope !
- Second, the she tried to outsmart his father and her own uncle,no! she did outsmart them with her verbal speech there.
- Third, no sign of horror or guilt or regret or sadness. Her biggest secret is out and she is laughing. Everybody else is shocked even horrified that they even react properly.
- If this doesn't scare her than what does !!? Is she even a girl ! Is she even a normal human ! I
- Fourth, for the first time Preet stand against her mother and proven wrong the next moment. Her mother is on the ground, broken, shattered, disheveled and in a daze.
- And this girl don't spare a look. "Did I marry the right girl ! Is this the same manu he'd known since childhood"
- Last but not the least, he just confessed that he played with her feelings and even snatched her wedding band and she is acting like she has no care in the world.
But this isn't the end of. Raj's dilemma infact it's the start ! " How come all this lead to her calling him SWEET ! and not to mention that DARLING HUSBAND TAG ! It does sound good though especially since it came from her mouth. Shut up Raj ! Shut up "Raj looked at her.
She must be aware of his inner battles because she had this satisfactory victory smile on her face. And before Raj could maintain his composure she started again - " okay fine !! No more teasing ! If you guys are really that stupid to need an explanation you'll have it "
Raj tried to open his mouth but she stood up and walk towards his father.
"It's true ! I wanted him to join hands with you and I am glad you two made up !! But let me say this you never appreciate my husband's ability just because you thought he was crippled. you discount the only educated and mannered Bajwa in the family and see what your ignorance does to him !" Preet inclined close to his father's ear as if he was her best girlfriend and muttered in a low but audible voice " he used to be a lot smarter in school " He used to be a lot smarter in school !"
Raj raised his eyebrows at that. He was about to voice his offence when she threw him a pity look. "What ??now she will tittle tattle about him WITH HIS FATHER !! Seriously!??" He thought.
She leaned back straight again ready to chide his father again!
" And I mean no offence because you are my father - in - law and I respect you for that but it is my duty as a wife to take a stand for my husband !! Anyway it's all lively now ! You all are here ! He is all TALL STRONG & HANDSOME !! independent and married ! I'll let it go" She cheered on that smiling so brightly that even the traces of tears on her cheeks from few seconds before shined.
" anyway since everything is better now what are you people are doing here " she addressed the Bajwa goon clan trying to shoo them with her hands when she ordered-" go ! Go home and prepare! Your new shahini is coming so don't leave out anything !! Hurry up and prepare "
Raj couldn't take it anymore so while she was rambling - the proof of her newly discovered insanity- he cover the distance between them in two big steps, hold her hand and turned her towards him - " have you gone mad ?? Who shahini !! What are you talking about !"
He tried to look for a little flutter of emotion but no luck instead she smiled calmly ! God ! Why can't she stop smiling for a second. Suddenly he felt her free hand holding his - " Yara ! (Friend) ops sorry I mean PATIDEV ! We are married and PA-PA-JIII just announced you the waaris - the shah of bajwas - so that made me shahini na " she explained like it was most obvious fact in the world, " and since we are married now it's time for my grahpravesh ( ritual when bride first entered groom's house) " Raj grabbed her hand which was creeping it's way to his Neck and pushed her away - " whhaattt ! "
This time he didn't tried to hide his confusion. He doesn't have to because she has gone mad. There is no other possible explanation for this behaviour and by the look on audience face he can bet they all would happily agree with him.
10 minutes earlier when he was talking - explaning to her the whole facade! which part of HATE - ANIMOSITY- BETRAYAL she didn't understand. He was busy with his analysis when he heard her scoff a laugh - " what - what !! " She laughed - "oh ! I see" her laughter turned into grave voice in a milliseconds " I that case - Well! I have no problem and neither do mummy or chacha if you live in our house we are quite rich you see. " Then she switched her glance between and Raj and herjeet " but I don't think people will appreciate the fact that 'the lion of bajwas' choose to be a ghar jamai ( groom in bride's house)"
" Enough !" Came a loud thuddering voice of harzeet bajwa. Raj
"Oh! No ! She's dead ! " He thought when he looked at his boiling father and prayed for the wellness of his stupid wife.
