Dil ke Rishte..
“Ji Arnavji, hum sab thaiyyar rakhenge. Aap chinta mat keejiye, aapke pohonchne tak sab packets ready karke rakhenge.”
********************************
It was a normal weekday at Shantivan with the menfolk at work. Anjali, Khushi aur Devyani having gone to Prateeksha, it was just Manorama and Payal at home. All the associated confusions and heartbreaks post her wedding resolved long back, the past two years had brought about a sea change in the relationship between saas aur bahu. Her gentle nature, patience, and never ending sensibility having become an apt counter to Manorama’s impulsive, short-tempered nature, the eldest and youngest bahus of the Raizada khaandaan had become fast friends in addition to being a fond saas-bahu jodi.
After sending the other three off, Manorama and Payal had settled down for their routine movie session. Payal had been running a slight temperature and Manorama was busy fussing over her in between commenting at the movie. Usually, her mother-in-law’s running commentary countering all the dialogues on screen kept Payal in splits. However, today, every bout of laughter was making her feel sore and tired, not that she was showing it. Manorama only noticed that her bahu was slightly subdued, and kept gazing at her in between, cracking more jokes to lift her spirits.
It was in between this that Payal’s phone rang. Wincing slightly as she leaned forward to attend it, she looked at the caller image in surprise. It was unusual to get a call from her Jethji at this time of the day.
“Hello, boliye Arnavji.”
The smile evident in his voice as he talked to one of the women in his life with whom he shared a very warm relationship and friendship, Arnav replied, “Hi Payal, maine tumhe disturb toh nahi kiya?”
“Arre bilkul bhi nahi. Boliye, iss time pe call kaise kiya?”
“Actually Payal, I’m on the way to Prateeksha and wanted to take a few things. Maine Khushi ko subah bolna bhool gaya tha ki jaate waqt ye sab bhi le jaaye. There are bunch of packets with books for the children kept in the library. Can you please get Hari Prakash to keep it by the door. Waise bhi I’m running late, I’ll just make a quick stop and collect them on the way.”
“Ji Arnavji, hum sab thaiyyar rakhenge. Aap chinta mat keejiye, aapke pohonchne tak sab packets ready karke rakhenge.”
“Aur haan, Akash had to go for an urgent meeting at ARH Gurgaon with NK, tumhe update karne ko bolke gaya mujhe. He couldn’t call in his hurry. Woh wapis aane me late hoga.”
“Ji shukriya Arnavji.”
“Okay then, see you soon.”
Keeping the phone down, she turned, “Maaji, Arnavji aa rahe hain, Prateeksha me kuch saamaan le jaane ke liye. Hum neeche jaake sab taiyyar karke aate hain.”
“Tum hilo bhi mat, hello-hi bye-bye. Waisan bhi tabeeyat theek naahi hain aur kaam bhi karne jaa rahi ho. Sit down, Payaliya, me Manorama will paick up books for Arnav bitwa.”
Smiling at her concerned maaji, Payal replied, “Nahi Maaji, aap takleef may uthaayiye, hum theek hai ab. Waise bhi Hari Prakshji kar denge sab. Hume bus unko dikhaana hai ki kaunsa saamaan lena hai aur kahan rakhna hai. Aap film dkehiye aur hum abhi aate hain.”
Knowing full well that if she went down, Payal would accompany her anyway, Manorama sat back grumbling, masking her concern as she noticed that Payal was looking slightly pale. Deciding to call their doctor home to check on her once Akash or Anjali reached back, she waved her bahu on her way, her focus shifting back to the movie.
********************
By the time all the packets were sorted and kept ready by Hari Praksh, Payal was feeling decidedly unwell and dizzy. Her stomach was hurting and her entire body feeling tender to touch. She had just sat down to wait for Arnav when the door slammed open and he walked in.
She quickly got up to welcome her Jethji and smiled at him, “Aa gaye aap? Aap kuch lenge khaane ke liye, Arnavji? Ya chai bana doon?”
Smiling back at her as he walked in, Arnav replied, “No thanks, Payal, I just finished lunch. I’ll just get a file I forgot from the study and leave. I’m running really late.”
“Toh hum laate hain na. Aap ye sab saamaan gaadi me rakhvaayiye, hum file leke aate hain. Woh table pe padi blue folder hai kya?”
Eyes widening in surprise, Arnav asked, “Ye tumhe kaise pata?”
“Woh hum books lete waqt dekha tha ki ek file aisi padi hai table pe. Baaki sab cupboard me rakhe hue hain na.”
“Oh right, that why I forgot to take it. It got left out from the rest of the bunch. Thanks Payal, that’s the one.”
Payal turned and left for the study when Arnav realised that she was looking a little tired. Feeling slightly guilty as he imagined that he had disturbed her afternoon rest, he started directing the Prakashs to load everything in the car.
“Hello-hi bye-bye, Arnav bitwa. Itti jaldi me kahan daudat ho?”
Smirking as he turned to greet his Mami, Arnav replied, “I’m running late, Mami. I have to reach Prateeksha before the afternoon session starts.”
“Achcha… waisan hum sochat rahe ki Doctor sab ko bula lete hai ghar ma. Akash bitwa kab home reach karega, tum ko pata hai ka?”
“Doctor ko?! Kyu Mami? Aapki tabeeyat theek nahi hai kya?”
Smiling at his concerned face, she quipped, “Me Manorama is fit as a fiddly. Woh humri naazuk khoon-bhari-tang-wali daughter-in-laws hai na, she ijj feeling bimaar.”
“Oh Damn it. And I gave her more work. Ussne kuch kaha kyu nahi?”, grimacing as he noticed Manorama’s incredulurs expression, he commented, “Yeah I know, Payal kisi bhi cheez ke baare me complain karti hi kahan hai?”
“I’ll call the doctor now itsef, Mami. And maybe I should cancel my Prateeksha trip. Akash is in Gurgaon, aur ghar pe Khushi, Di aur Nani bhi nahi hai.”
“Nahi nahi, Arnav bitwa, I, Manorama will manage. Tum hoike aao.” Turning in a circle looking for her, she askd, “Waisan Payaliya hai kahan?”
Frowning now, Arnav replied, “Actually she went to take a file from the study. Kaafi time ho gaya. Let me go and see.”
Manorama stood for a second staring at her nephew before sitting down, only to jolt up again at Arnav’s shout. She could barely move as Arnav came running out, cradling an unconscious Payal, calling for her to alert the hospital that he was bringing her in immediately.

“Yes Arnavji, I'll keep everythign ready. Don't worry about it at all, all packets will be kept ready by the time you reach.”

The smile evident in his voice as he talked to one of the women in his life with whom he shared a very warm relationship and friendship, Arnav replied, “Hi Payal, did I disturb you, is it a bad time?”
“Arre, not at all! Did you need something?”
“Actually Payal, I’m on the way to Prateeksha and wanted to take a few things. I forgot to tell Khushi to bring this along with her when she came. There are bunch of packets with books for the children kept in the library. Can you please get Hari Prakash to keep it by the door. By the way, I’m running late, I’ll just make a quick stop and collect them on the way.”
“Yes Arnavji, I'll keep everythign ready. Don't worry about it at all, all packets will be kept ready by the time you reach.”
“And, before I forget, Akash had to go for an urgent meeting at ARH Gurgaon with NK, and told me to update you. He couldn’t call in his hurry. He'll be late reaching back.”
“Okay, thanks for informing me, Arnavji.”
“Okay then, see you soon.”
Keeping the phone down, she turned, “Maaji, Arnavji is stopping on his way to Prateeksha, to pick up a few things. I'll go down and get everything ready.”
“Don't even think of moving, hello-hi bye-bye. You're already not feeling well. Sit down, Payaliya, me Manorama will paick up books for Arnav bitwa.”
Smiling at her concerned maaji, Payal replied, “No, no, Maaji, don't worry, I'm much better now. I just need to direct Hari Prakshji anyway. He will arrange everything.”
Knowing full well that if she went down, Payal would accompany her anyway, Manorama sat back grumbling, masking her concern as she noticed that Payal was looking slightly pale. Deciding to call their doctor home to check on her once Akash or Anjali reached back, she waved her bahu on her way, her focus shifting back to the movie.

She quickly got up to welcome her Jethji and smiled at him, “Oh good, you're here! Shall I get you something to eat? Or drink?”
Smiling back at her as he walked in, Arnav replied, “No thanks, Payal, I just finished lunch. I’ll just get a file I forgot from the study and leave. I’m running really late.”
“I'll get it for you, then. You can get t\all this loaded, and save some time, Arnavji. By the way, was it the blue folder lying on the table that you wanted?”
Eyes widening in surprise, Arnav asked, “How did you know that?”
“I had gone to take a couple of books and saw it lying there, while all other files were arranged in the cupboard.”
“Oh right, thats why I forgot to take it. It got left out from the rest of the bunch. Thanks Payal, that’s the one.”
Payal turned and left for the study when Arnav realised that she was looking a little tired. Feeling slightly guilty as he imagined that he had disturbed her afternoon rest, he started directing the Prakashs to load everything in the car.

Smirking as he turned to greet his Mami, Arnav replied, “I’m running late, Mami. I have to reach Prateeksha before the afternoon session starts.”
“Achcha… by the way, I was thinking of calling the Doctor sab home today. Do you know by what time Akash bitwa will reach home?”
“Doctor ko?! Why Mami? Are you not well?”
Smiling at his concerned face, she quipped, “Me Manorama is fit as a fiddly. Our dear khoon-bhari-tang-wali daughter-in-laws ijj feeling ill.”
“Oh Damn it. And I gave her more work. Why didn't she say something?”, grimacing as he noticed Manorama’s incredulurs expression, he commented, “Yeah I know, when does Payal complain , if ever?”
“I’ll call the doctor now itsef, Mami. And maybe I should cancel my Prateeksha trip. Akash is in Gurgaon, and Khushi, Di and Nani are also away from home.”
“Nahi nahi, Arnav bitwa, I, Manorama will manage. You go and come.” Turning in a circle looking for her, she askd, “Where is Payaliya ?”
Frowning now, Arnav replied, “Actually she went to take a file from the study. It's been a while. Let me go and see.”
Manorama stood for a second staring at her nephew before sitting down, only to jolt up again at Arnav’s shout. She could barely move as Arnav came running out, cradling an unconscious Payal, calling for her to alert the hospital that he was bringing her in immediately.

Edited by AparnaRenu - 3 years agoWow!
You had told me that Arnav - Payal is coming up but I didn't know it's going to be exclusively them. Of course Mamiji is also present but still no Akash or Khushi!
Arnav - Payal relationship is so subtle. They both care for each other but it doesn't require grand gestures or words.
Along with that, I'm so glad to see Mamiji and Payal bonding. Contrary to what some believe, I think Mamiji did thaw down towards Payal and Khushi. She may have kept on calling them Khoon bhari tang and Phatti sari, but it was a bit like how Lavanya kept on calling Khushi as Chamkeeli even after they became friends. It just turned into a nickname later.
And Mamiji is also like Arnav - a Coconut 😉. Or maybe a Jackfruit 😆. She appears hard and prickly but she is quite soft and emotional internally. And her care and concern is evident in ways that are not so visible.
Arnav and Payal bonding was something I was already appreciating and you have given me Mamiji - Payal too 😃. Isliye maaf kardiya... for not showing their vacation right now 😆.
Continue this soon. Waiting for next part eagerly! 😳
Love,
Stuti
Edited by ssttuuttii - 3 years agoWell hmmm 😳 you stopped my fav story midway! Well well... Hope you have something wicked up your sleeve for that one, if so I don't mind waiting.
But OMG this one! Hope Payal is well... Manorama - Payal bond is also something I missed sorely in the show. Waiting to see how this unfolds.
Thank Aparna for fast updates 👍🏼

Thanks, honey!
I agree, they are similar in certain ways and that gives a solid footing to their relationship... I was so very glad to explore it in "Understanding Payal".
And don't worry, the others will show up. This MS is laying foundation for something else that will eventually show up in TKD.

Aruni!!!!! I'm so so happy to see my old friend's comments !
Yup, things are definitely up my sleeve... that's plural, mind you 🥰
And you're going to see a lot of Mami, Arnav and Payal in this one.
What happened to our dear Payaliya?? loved to see mami so sweet to her dear nazuk khoon bhari tang wali daughter-in-law.. Payal bhi na Nahin toh bolna aata hi nahin.. Arnav is feeling so guilty to make her work when she is not feeling well.. waiting to see our payaliya all fine.. Awesome start.. loved it 😊
Happy Diwali to you and your loved ones Aparna ❤️
