THE OBEROI UDAIVILAS, UDAIPUR,
Only a week was left for the wedding. All were enjoying themselves along with doing the arrangements for the wedding functions. Everyone had gathered in the lawn because
Dadi had called them.
Aniruddh: Dadi, you called all of us here? What had happened?
Dadi: I am seeing you all are very busy with the arrangements and working hard….
Rudra: Right Dadi…. They are making me work a lot…. (He gets into dramebaaz mode)….
ShivKara: Shut up Rudra….
Yash: You continue Dadi…. We all have grown used to this now….
All laugh hearing this.
Dadi: I want you all to take a break and have some fun…. So I have arranged badminton game for you all….
Ahana: Badminton…. This will be fun…. You are the best Dadi (She hugs Dadi)….
Dev: Now this is going to be fun….
Meera: So then get started…. We’ll watch you all….
Dadi: This is not only for my grandchildren only but for you all also….
Sumitra: For us…. Maa, you want us to play….
Shekhar: Maa, leave it…. These old ladies won’t be able to play but we’ll definitely play….
Vikram: Right Shekhar…. Let them rest…. We’ll show them what fitness is….
All elder men laugh while their wives stare at them.
Janhvi: I think you all have some great misunderstanding but don’t worry…. We’ll clear it….
Sandhya: Right Janhvi…. Let us see who is fit….
Sonakshi: Okay…. Then let us have Girls vs Boys…. It’ll be fun….
Arjun: But we are so many so let us play doubles…. We’ll divide ourselves into pairs….
Vidhi: But we are in odd number…. How’ll we pair up…?
Shivaay: Don’t worry…. I can play twice….
Anika: And so can I….
Sahil: Dadi and I’ll be the umpires…. So no cheating happens….
Dadi: Haa…. Now come on start….
Dadi and Sahil take their seat. Others divide into pairs.
Sahil: So the first game is Shivaay Jiju and Tej Uncle against Anika Di and Janhvi Aunty….
Others cheer for them.
Tej: Get ready to lose Janhvi…. Everyone knows Shivaay and I are the best team….
Shivaay: Absolutely right Bade Papa….
Janhvi: Tej…. It is better you concentrate on the game rather than your self-praising….
Anika: Badi maa is right…. Shivaay…. First play then say these talks….
The games starts, both teams were playing equally well, none was ready to lose; now only one point was needed to win. Janhvi thinks something and smiles looking at Tej, she winks at him and Tej is shocked and doesn’t hit the shuttle cock, Anika is happy to see this while Shivaay is shocked. Shivaay was looking at Anika and didn’t notice what Janhvi did. However Priyanka sees what Janhvi did and smiles.
Dadi: So Janhvi and Anika are the winners here….
Shivaay: Bade papa…. What did you do?
Tej: Maa…. Janhvi did cheating….
Janhvi: What did I do Tej?
Sahil: Uncle…. What did aunty do? We didn’t see anything….
Tej: Woh…. She….
Dadi: Chup kar Tej…. Now go and sit…. Next teams come….
Janhvi laughs seeing Tej’s condition.
Sahil: Next team is Vikram uncle, Aniruddh Jiju and Meera aunty, Ishu Di….
The game begins and both teams play well. Finally Vikram and Aniruddh win.
Other games continue,
Meenakshi-Soumya wins against Rajesh-Rudra.
Sumitra-Sonakshi also wins against Shekhar-Dev.
Shakti-Arjun defeat Ahana-Pinky.
And Omkara-Sanjay defeat Gauri-Sandhya.
Sahil: So now the score is Girls team – 03 points and Boys team – 03 points….
Dadi: Now next team is Ranveer and Karan against Prinku and Natasha….
Rudra: Guys, we have to win no matter what….
Soumya: I know girls are only going to win….
Natasha: Correct Soumya….
Ranveer: Let us see….
The game begins, both teams were playing well. Priyanka thinks something as she remembers something, she looks at Ranveer and blows a flying kiss with her lips, Ranveer is shocked and stumbles, he falls down and the shuttle falls on him. All are shocked seeing this while Priyanka controls her laughter. Janhvi saw what Priyanka did and is shocked, she looks at Priyanka who just winks at her, Janhvi smiles at her daughter, after all she learnt from her mother only. The girls are laughing seeing Ranveer while the boys hit their head at Ranveer’s state.
Karan: What yaar Ranveer…. I thought this was an easy thing for you….
Ranveer: Woh…. (He couldn’t say anything and sees Priyanka laughing at him)
Sahil: So now girls have 04 points and boys have 03 points…. Now let’s see if girls win or boys can make it a tie….
Dadi: So now the final match between Shivaay-Yash and Anika-Vidhi….
Priveer were walking to their seat when Ranveer holds Priyanka’s hand, they were away from the others, so no one could hear them,
Priyanka: What has happened Ranveer? How are you feeling after losing?
Ranveer: You very well know what you did…. That is cheating….
Priyanka: Then tell everyone and I’ll take my punishment….
Ranveer smirks and Priyanka looks at him confused,
Priyanka: What are you thinking?
Ranveer: You’ll know soon…. And you’ll definitely get a punishment….
He smiles and leaves Priyanka confused.
Now the final game starts, both the teams were playing very well, however while playing Shivaay twists his ankle and falls down, Anika sees this and immediately runs to him, while doing so she bumps into Vidhi, who fails to hit the shuttle cock and thus the boys win the game.
However Anika doesn’t think about that and sits beside Shivaay, he is looking at her and smiles seeing her concern,
Shivaay: Anika…. I am fine….
Anika: No Shivaay…. Show me…. I know it is hurting you….
Shivaay: But Anika…. You lost the game….
Anika: Shut up Shivaay…. You think that winning a game in more important than you…. You are naa Stupid Singh Oberoi….
Shivaay: Anika…. I was just saying like that…. Sorry yaar….
Anika: Come…. I’ll apply ointment….
All come to Shivika,
Pinky: Shivaay…. Why are you so careless? Who told you to play like this?
Shivaay: Mom…. I am fine….
Pinky: From childhood, you are like this only…. Always increasing my blood pressure….
Omkara: Relax…. Choti Maa…. Shivaay is fine….
Shakti: Om, take Shivaay to the room…. I’ll arrange for the ointment….
Shakti and Yash go to the reception while others take Shivaay to his room.
OTHER SIDE,
Sakshi and Vikrant were seeing all this from a distance,
Sakshi: Look at them…. How they are happy together as one family and enjoying…. No one remembers me…. No one thinks of me…. All they care about is that Omkara and that Aniruddh….
Vikrant: Relax Sakshi…. How many times I have told you not to think like that…. I still think that something is missing…. Maybe it is not all their fault….
Sakshi: Really Vikrant…. You still think they are not fault…. Even after you know what they did….
Vikrant: I didn’t mean like that….
Sakshi leaves from there and Vikrant follows her.
SHIVIKA’S ROOM,
Shivaay sits on the bed, Anika and Pinky sit to his either side; Yash and Shakti come with the ointment. Omkara applies the ointment, all smile seeing his gesture and love for Shivaay.
Meera: Shivaay, you take rest…. We’ll meet later….
All leave one by one leaving Anika with Shivaay.
IN THE CORRIDOR,
Priyanka was walking towards her room when Ranveer comes and holds her hand; she turns and looks at him surprised,
Priyanka: Ranveer…. You….
Ranveer: Priyanka…. Did you forget you have a punishment to bear?
Priyanka: Oh so you are here for that…. (She circles her hands around Ranveer’s neck who looks at her surprised)….
Ranveer: Priyanka….
But before that Prinku leaves him and runs away from him, Ranveer comes out of his trance and understands her trick, he follows her, while running Priyanka bumps into Natasha, who in turns falls on Karan, Karan holds Natasha and they are lost looking at each other.
Priyanka is shocked seeing them lost and smiles, Ranveer comes there and is shocked seeing the scene, he looks at Priyanka and she smiles seeing them, Ranveer also smiles.
Priyanka: I think we have to bring them back to this world….
However Karan phone rings at that time, and they break the trance. Karan picks the call and goes away before Priveer could stop him; Natasha doesn’t know what to say,
Natasha: I have some work…. See you both later….
She leaves from there and Priveer laugh seeing their state.
Ranveer: I always knew that they like each other but now I think….
Priyanka: They love each other…. Their eyes said it all….
Ranveer: We have to do something…. Otherwise these two will never say anything….
Priyanka: I have a plan….
She tells something to Ranveer and both smile.
