All Raman says is "relax...overreact kyun kar rahi ho? its okay.." when Ishu charged him, as to why he is not letting her talk with Adi."Adi alag hai...he is at a different age...na baccha na bada hai"
Ishita reminds him of the past deeds he has done...the accident, the petty stupid things he had done that had serious consequences...and urges him to take it seriously...although, one thing I agree with -
"Adi mera beta hai...main jaanta hun...aur agar koi uske saath strict hone ki koshish karega toh woh uski band baja dega" SO TRUE. Raman poori tarah se waaqif hai Adi ke nature se...he is not the docile, obedient kind...he may love and respect his parents, but he is the rebellious kind...I completely relate to this school of thought, ki agar mujhe pyaar se samjhaoge, toh Ill do anything...even grow a beard😉😆..and you try being strict or intimidating with me, and I'll do just the opposite...in fact, Ill make sure I create a ruckus and piss you off as well coz you were sitting over my head, sermonizing and bulldozing me into doing something I didnt wanna do😆
Of course, that was bachpan...though some of the traces still remain😃..and this generation is REPLETE with such kids. They are so aware of terms like independence, privacy, boundaries, this and that...stuff we didnt prolly knw about back in our teens or were doubtful of...when parents used to say - My house, MY rules. You will do as I say coz I AM the parent.
Gaye re gaye, woh sukh ke din😆
Anyway, he decided to speak to Adi
Raman went to give him milk...Adi confessed...that he was about to tell the truth...but he got scared seeing Ishima upset..and decided he will tell the truth later...he also complained ki Ishima shudnt have spoken to her friends like that..emphasizing on, "jiski galti nahin thi use bhi daant diya"
"I know Ishita mein thoda problem toh hai yaar...par yeh problem duniya ki har maa mein hai...woh bacchon se bahut pyaar karti hai...hum dad kya karte hain, sif bacchon ko bigaadte hain..lekin jab taqleef aati hai naa, toh woh chattaan banke apne bacche ke saamne aa jati hain" Raman explained to him. This was quite touching. I mean, its true...fathers are of a diff bent of mind - less fussy, less provoked, less concerned...but Moms can be BALLISTIC and snowball tiny issues, and sometimes non-issues. The only defense being, they really do love us and dont want any harm to befall us. Im glad he didnt make it sound like he was AGAINST Ishu, on this count.
Amma has gone out for her Naturopathy treatment...a new lady has been called in to do ghar ka kaam-kaaj... Mihika was sulking about not receiving a single call from ACP
Adi is still wondering how to speak to Vinnie...he is feeling guilty about what happened in the class..he is trying to write her an apology letter...
Vandu has come to meet Appa...Ayyoyo..i feel sorry for her now...she looks SO FRICKIN' PREGNANT...her baby bump looks OMINOUS now! As she sat talking with Appa, Mihika came rushing downstairs...cribbing that she couldnt find her bangles, kept below her pillow...even the money Amma kad kept stashed in the kitchen dabba (WHO KEEPS MONEY IN A DABBA IN A KITCHEN😆) ... even Appa's fountain pen was gone...
The Iyers come to the conclusion that its the new and one-time maid, Veelamma who has conducted the theft...
Just then, ACP takofied...Mihika looked struck...
"chori hui nai ki police aa gayi" Vandu commented...God...Vandu looks so naughty naa! 😆
ACP tried to keep a straight face and said he had come to check on her...if she's okay...
"ohh...aap mujhe dekhne aaye hain?" Vandu asked, eyebrows raised, and that wicked smile glinting... "Aapne keh diya maine maan liya ki aap mujhse milne aaye hain"😃
Vandu informed ACP about the theft...Mihika explained in detail
"kuch batayiye uske baare mein...kaisi dikhti thi...kya pehna tha?" ACP started the investigation
Appa told him everything ...nayi maid thi...kahan kahan se usne kya kya churaya...
"Paanch missing hain..sirk ek hi hai" Mihika replied, when ACP asked her about how many bangles were missing ...
and then ACP asked her if she could lead him to the place from where the stuff went missing
"Please take him to the room...for the sake of duty" Vandu implored...god...that was so funny..aisa lag raha tha jaise Vandu was expecting Kuch Kuch to happen🤣
Mihika went up to her room, like a nayi naveli dulhan...sans the lehenga and the jewellery and the chunri and the dhak dhak of the first night
And like someone who had lost sense of time and place, ACP asked "Aur yeh hai aapka room? Aur aap yahan soti hain?"
"Nai...main uss taraf bed lagake zameen pe soti hun"😆 Miku retorted
ACP tries to inspect the same, by putting his hand under the pillow...trying to find the bangle
"Aapko ACP kisne banaya? Bangle yahan hai.." Mihika showed her wrist...
"Khare sone ka hai?" ACP asked, examining her wrist...
"Nai..peetal ka hai...har cheez fake nahin hoti" Mihika taunted...
ACP then asked her to give him the bangle...for further investigation ahead...she tried taking it off, it didnt come off easily...and then he didnt take two seconds to use his strength and pry the bangle off...and they had this intense eye-lock...all sizzles everywhere...looked like everything melted away and they were on an island or something, just the two of them...and it might've looked like that...had the stupid 90s BG music not played in the background...
W*F WAS THE Aeeyeyyy...ooo...llaalllalalalaa BG music...sounded like Kumar Sanu crooning to a sweating, gyrating Govinda-Neelam pair🤣 They could've broken into some 90s dance moves ..and wahin pe ek tadakedaar David Dhawan movie ban jati😆
Vandu who came to the room, and stood outside, surveying the scene for a few minutes disturbed them, "Pakda gaya! KYA CHOR! Huh?"😆
Before leaving for science class, Adi apologized to Ishu... "Mujhe accha nai lagta jab bahar ke log tumhare baare mein kuch kehte hain...kyunki main jaanta hun ki mera ADI bahut accha hai..." Ishu said its okay, as long as he realized his mistake. I doubt it will be okay once it happens too many times
and then Adi bumped into ACP outside, who was leaving...his books fell...the letter fell off...he picked up everything, except the note he had written for Vinni
Vandu looked like just DELIVERED her baby! haha! THROUHOUT MIKU-ACP scene, she looked like she was watching a romcom right after her baby popped out🤣
In the class, Vinni came and Hi'ed Adi ..he asked her if it was okay that she was still talking to him..
"Tum toh mere friend ho na..aur yeh toh meri life hai...main kisise bhi baat karun...main kisiko bhi friend banaun" WOW. At barely 12 yrs old, these kids REALLY have a distinctive idea about "My life, My choice"...Of course I remained friends with whoever I wished to be, despite my Mom's warnings and wish..but I never had the guts to tell her this😆 we never had such talks with our baccha-teen frnds either...if we wanted to do something (like befriending someone our parents hated) we did it secretly...like chor-police type...and prayed to God we didnt get caught. 😆 But more often than not, my parents' judgment of the "friends" I had was SPOT-ON...SO, on this count, I MUST give credit to Ishu, for being wary of Vinni and her infleunce on Adi
ADI first tried to say sorry to her, and then verbally apologized to her without giving her the note... the horribly-accented teacher came in and announced the students choose their partners for the science project...
Vinni tells the teacher she will work with ADI on the science project... Adi is excited, but scared too, coz he knows Ishu wont allow Vinni to come home and work on the project...
Mihika picked up the note Adi had written for Vinni...hahaha...🤣 usmein likha tha - "mujhe maaf kar dena...meri wajah se jo misunderstanding hui hai uske liye am sorry" She bloats up slightly, thinking how cool ACP's style of apologizing is...ise kehte hain, kahin pe nigahen, kahin pe nishaana😆
Romi gaya tha Sarika ke baare mein pata karne...and the receptionist, pissed that so many people came to enquire about their missing ex-employee informed him of the same..and asked him to go report the same in the police station and not bother them...ab Romi ka dimag chalne laga ki aakhir HAI kaun jo Sarika ke baare mein pata karne aaya tha!
Im wondering - will he pee in his pants when he finds out its ACP?🤣 Conversely, if ACP finds out its Romi who ruined Sarika's life, he wont even GET THE TIME to pee in his pants, he'll be thrashed so badly. 😆
Dunno why, but am very excited about Sarika doing grih pravesh in the Bhalla House...drama galore, I tell you..they dont even NEED the leap with so many interesting angles to be explored
Adi went back home and shared his prob with Raman... "Main Vinni ke bina science project nai karna chahta...aap kuch karo na Papa...aap toh itne smart ho..."
Raman even teased Adi for calling Vinni his "good friend"
"Beta..main tera baap aise hi nai bana...bahut reh chuke hain mere aise gud frnds.."
and then, he agreed to help Adi with this science project thing...now the line is kinda getting blurred...between what is permissible and what is not...Im not sayin a 13yr old cant have a crush on a girl his age..or well, older than him😉 but I really feel Raman should've discussed this with Ishita first..maybe she would've declined...and rightfully so...but this Vinni does have some kind of powerful hold over Adi, leading him to do things he otherwise would not have done...also, like I said yest - IshRa have starkly diff approaches to parenting and if this difference in execution of the same continues, wont be long before Adi comes to his dad for everything and starts feeling his step-mom is a spoilsport, and v v stuck-up...
I really feel Raman shudnt be SO lax about it...Aaj Adi ko ungli pakadne diya hai, kal Adi poora haath hi maangega...today he crossed a line in going to the extent of FORMING A PLAN to help his son get what he wanted...and if the leap happens and ViDi remain glued to each other like they are right now, then am certain she will lead him into drugs and a lot many ugly experiences in life...big drama ahead. And anyway, have we forgotten what too much freedom and leniency begets in the Bhalla family? A 'sapoot' like Romi
ACP is back at the Iyers'...chor pakad liya, Mihika ke bangles bhi mil gaye...Delhi Police ki efficiency?! ho! Its looouuu that's speeding up all these investigative procedures😆
ACP gets a call...and tells Mihika he'l have to go..so he takes Appa's leave...
And Mihika ko lag raha hai ki sorry note likh hi diya hai, toh koi baat nai...munh se bolne ki kya zaroorat hai...Appa caught her looking mesmerized and a bit lost...wont be long before he finds out the truth
Raman has planned a "Sar-par-ice" for all the ladies of the house..sending them off to the spa... Acc, to Toshi is it "REJUDANATE"😆 Anyway, this is basically done so that his son gets some "quality time" with his crush...
Raman says he and Romi will take care of the kids... "Adi ka plan successful ho gaya" he mumbles to himself, even as Ishu tries to catch his words...
PRECAP - More than science project, it looks like ViDi are playing chor-police, pakda pakdi in the living room...as Vinni runs out playfully, she bumps into Ishita, who, for some reason is back early and alone..They all look shocked at each other.

Romi told Toshi that someone else has also been asking about Sarika.
P.S. I miss seeing Ishita- the DENTIST. Really. I understand she's looking after the kids, but I miss seeing that independent, feisty woman who had a LIFE. Aaj bhi she didnt want to go out to the spa coz she was thinking about the kids...speaking of KIDS, WHERE;S RUHI?
P.S. Can we get someone to dub for Vinni? I hate her voice. 😔
P.S. Vandu is so funny! I wish the CVs showed us her brighter, chirpier, naughtier side😉
P.S. I am all for eternal love, but at the age of 12, shudnt kids be away from all this? They can wait till they get to college naeen?
