If Not Sayi, then Someone Else – Episode 7 – Will Ishita accept the alliance?

Hello, my dear friends. How are you all? Let’s be back to the episode.

The episode starts…

Chavan Niwas is shown. Enduring in darkness. A dark shadow of a dark soul roaming in the lawn of house. Walking all through the grass, stamping the grass wishing it to be Sayi. Wish, it could be Sayi, her love’s wife. The moon is hidden in the dark sky and the dark thoughts coming in her mind.

Vahini, you are not servant who everytime brings food, juice, water or medicines for me.

If you don’t follow these rules, then you will be fired. And one more thing, please don’t insult the word “insult” by using the word with you.

Don’t insult the word “insult”

Pakhi Vahini…

Those words of Virat were echoing in her mind which was growing her anger and raising her emotions. Suddenly the phone rings which breaks her thoughts.

Pakhi’s mother : How are you, dear? You hadn’t even messaged me since long? I even tried to contact you but everytime your phone seems to be switched off! Everything is fine, right?

Pakhi : Yes Mom, Everything is fine. How are you and how is baba?

Pakhi’s mother : Fine.

Pakhi : Okay, mom. I need to sleep. Bye.

Pakhi’s mother : Beta, but I had called you just now? Aren’t you interested in talking to your mother? Is everything alright? Did that Sayi told you anything?

Pakhi thinks of how Virat and Sayi broke their relationship infront of her eyes and smirks nastily.

Pakhi : What will she say, mom! She left this house. Alas! There is at least some peace in this house.

Pakhi’s mother : Pakhi, your baba contacted Verma Sahab. Remember baba’s friend and Chief Brigadier of Command.

Pakhi : So, what mom?

Pakhi’s mother : So your baba contacted him and was discussing about Samrat’s whereabouts. Verma sahab (sahab refers to Sir or in general used for giving respect) told that the troop in which Samrat left was recently traced in Shimla. So, you don’t need to worry for him.

Pakhi : Mom, don’t you have anything else to talk? Everytime it is about Samrat only. The person, I don’t even know. Why should I worry for him?

Pakhi’s mother : Dear, he’s your husband. Don’t talk such rubbish.

Pakhi : Do you know, Mom? Even if he die, I won’t care. Bye

She cuts the call and goes from there, but oblivious to the fact that Sonali had heard everything.

Sonali : Deva re Deva! She was talking about our Samrat. She was cursing Samrat. No! How could be I so sure! First, I need to thoroughly find out does Patralekha really thinks such way. Or it is just my thoughts. Something is fishy here.

_______________________________________

The sun already rose and Chavan Niwas had also blossomed. Everything was normal, just one change can be observed. We weren’t able to hear any voices of taunts from this house. And soon, everyone adjusted themselves on couch while some ladies were busy giving them tea. Sometimes one question also arises in my mind that if they’re so rich, living in luxurious house, then can’t they afford even one maid? So I think they are top class misers.

Footsteps at their doorsteps can be heard. Ishita had taken her steps forward in the Chavan Niwas with her luggage. All the family members stand up as if they saw a teacher coming and they need to say Good Morning to her. Ishita comes forward and takes the blessings of all the elders. Family members are shocked as they can’t recognise her.

Ninad : Hey! Who are you?

Omkar : Because of this Sayi, even strangers are coming in our home.

Bhavani and Pakhi gives their usual facial expressions.

Ashwini : Why you all are taunting Sayi, even if she is not living here? I don’t understand what kind of enmity you all have with that innocent girl?

Bhavani (to Ishita) : AE! Who are you?

Ishita : Nobody has the ability to recognise me! She pouts.

Pakhi : Here everyone are asking you who are you. And you are counting the abilities of everyone here.

Ishita : You are Pakhi, right?

Pakhi : How do you know me?

Ishita : Virat told me about your habit of taunting. It’s a very bad habit, yaar. Leave it soon.

Pakhi gets irked.

Virat comes there.

“Kaku, you hadn’t recongnised Ishita. She is Ishita… Ishita Burman. Mr. Kamino Burman’s daughter ”

Bhavani : Is she Ishita? Burman sahab’s daughter! Oh! She had grown up. (To Pakhi) Patralekha, she’s Ishita. Ishita and Virat were best friends in their primary school. Ishita’s father is a top businessman and was a very good friend of Nageshji, my husband.

Patralekha listens to her carefully but somewhere jealousy could be seen on her face. Sonali notices it very carefully.

Ishita : Correct! Bhavani Kaku. And now I had came here to live with you all for few days, if you don’t really mind.

Omkar : Come on, Ishita. You can live here as many days you like.

Virat : Come on, Ishita. I will show you your room.

Pakhi : Why Virat? Even I can show her the room.

Bhavani : Patralekha she is Virat’s friend. So she would feel good if her friend gives her the room. You don’t worry.

And this was the time when Ishita and Virat left the scene.

Ishita calls Sayi which Sayi picks up. Whereas Virat was lifting her luggage and was keeping on her bed.

Sayi : Yes, Ishu. You called me? Is everything fine?

Ishita : Sayi… she sees Virat with corner of her eyes. Who is shocked to know that Ishita called Sayi. Though honest, he was missing Sayi.

Ishita : Sayi, everything is fine here. But Virat’s heart is not fine.

Virat gets shocked.

Sayi : Why? What happened to Virat Sir? I know he would have eaten high cholesterol food due to which his heart is aching.

Virat murmurs : Bappa! I think she is the one and only foolish girl in this whole universe.

Ishita laughs.

Sayi : Ishu, what happened to you now?

Virat : Ishu, I am leaving. If you need anything, then Call me.

Sayi : Did Virat Sir told something?

Ishita : Yes. He is missing you. So he’s telling he badly wanna talk to you.

Virat sees her shockingly.

Sayi : Oh! I know Virat Sir. He won’t miss me. He’s just making fool out of me.

Virat curves his eyebrows.

Ishita was talking only when suddenly they hears door knob getting open. Immediately Ishita hides the phone. And the door knob opens revealing it to be Pakhi.

Ishita : Pakhi, you here?

Pakhi : Yes… but why’re you so afraid? Stressing the word “you” so that it indicates her grudge

Ishita : I am not afraid. But you came in suddenly even without knocking the door.

Pakhi : I just came to call Virat. He just came here to drop you but… Leave it! By the way, you had not been given permission to restrict others in your room!

Ishita : To whom, I restricted? I just told you that you could have knocked the door.

Pakhi : Have a look, Virat. How your so called best friend is talking to me!

Virat : What wrong is she saying, Pakhi vahini?

Pakhi : Virat you’re not taking your best friend’s side.

Virat : Pakhi vahini, firstly you only taught me to take best friend’s side. Secondly, I am taking my best friend’s side only. Most importantly I am an officer, I take the side of right. Ishita is right, you should have knocked and come. Even in my and Sayi’s room…

He suddenly backs off from completing the sentence further. Pakhi listens to him noticeably.

Pakhi : Why did you stopped, Virat?

Ishita : Virat, I think you both should go. I wanna have some rest.

Pakhi : Now guests are even giving us permission to go, sleep or etc.

Virat : Pakhi, why…

Ishita stops him.

Ishita : “Pakhi, the fact is that, I am familiar to this house and the family members since childhood. This family has always treated me as the apple of their eyes. Infact, there was even one room for me here few years ago. But as I shifted to London, that room has gone to Samrat. So, in short you are living in my room” “Now you can go from this room”.

Pakhi : You got the permission to live here, not to insult the family members.

Ishita : Oh! So should I take the permission and then insult you?

Pakhi points finger towards Ishita but to her shock, Ishita held her finger and twisted it.

Ishita : From next time, don’t you dare to do it.

Pakhi sees Virat and Ishita to and fro and goes from there. After she goes, Virat laughs crazily and goes from there.

After few days :

Bhavani : I literally love Ishita’s handmade tea.

Ninad : Ho na, Vahini. 1 cup of Ishita’s tea makes the whole day peaceful.

Pakhi : Isn’t it wonder, Ninad Mama? Some days before you loved my handmade tea. And now Ishita’s tea became your favourite.

Bhavani : Patralekha, your tea is always best.

Pakhi gets happy hearing that she’s still their favourite.

Bhavani : But Ishita’s handmade tea has some magic which make us forget all our tensions and…

Pakhi : Badi Mami, what kind of tensions are you having? The tension giver is already gone from here.

Sonali : Patralekha, why are you being so jealous of Ishita? Is it because she is also the best friend of Virat?

Pakhi : Sonali Mami….

Bhavani : Sonali, (she shouts) you also got the tongue of that jungli murgi or has she done any black magic on you?

Sonali : Vahini, I was just…

Bhavani : Gappa bass (Shut up). Patralekha, you’re worrying unnecessarily. I think you’re taking loads of mental stress. So you need some rest.

Pakhi : Badi Mami…

Pakhi goes from there. Everyone sits and enjoy their teas. Ishita makes coffee for herself when Ashwini comes from behind and says

“Everything is going as planned. Mission Winning Hearts Successful.”

Ashwini goes from there and Ishita smiles

Bhavani : Ninad, Omi… I was thinking Ishita is a good girl. Well – mannered, rich, beautiful, well – educated. And also she handles her father’s business so well.

Omkar : So what, Vahini? We all know about her qualities. Why you are telling us all suddenly?

Bhavani : Ninad, don’t you think she will be a good pair for our Virat?

Ninad : Vahini, this is such a good idea. Infact I was also thinking that I should get my Virat married to such girl who high ethics.

Bhavani : Ninad, if you’re ready for your son’s alliance. Then we should firstly make Virat ready for his marriage. I don’t think he will say yes so easily, after all that Sayi had mixed poison in our innocent Virat’s life.

Ninad : We can do that easily by using Ashwini as a third person.

Omkar : But what about Ishita? Will Ishita accept the alliance?

Ninad : Let’s see.

Virat : Lioness Sayi is studying tonight with whole concentration.

Sayi : Virat Sir, you’re disturbing me even in hostel. Who told you to come today?

Virat : Why? Shouldn’t I come? Or should I take your permission and come? But why? You know I am your husband, pati parmeshwar, shohar. And husbands don’t take permission, they only order.

Sayi stamps Virat’s foot.

Ouchhhh….

“What happened Pati Parmeshwar? Did it hurt? Shall I massage?

She bends and hardly punches Virat feet.

“Ouchhh… What are you doing, Sayi?

Sayi : Now will you order me?

“No”

“Will you hesitate to take my permission?

“No, maajhi aayi. Forgive me”

They both laughs heavenly.

Sayi : How is our plan working?

Virat : Good pace and good direction. My I.P.S. mind says my and Ishu’s marriage will be discussed tomorrow only.

Sayi : If you are telling, then definitely it won’t happen.

Virat : You are doubting my profession, Mrs. Virat Chavan?

Sayi : Ohooo! Sir, you’re addressing me as Mrs. Virat Chavan!

Virat : Obviously! You’re my wife.

Suddenly, Sayi’s phone rings. The phone turns out to be of Ajinkya’s.

Sayi : Hello, Ajinkya. How are you?

Virat listens to their conversation very interestingly. Meanwhile Sayi goes from there to talk to Ajinkya. In a short time, Sayi comes back.

Virat : What he was telling?

Sayi : Is it necessary to tell you?

Virat : Obviously, I have a right to know.

“But why are you so interested in Ajinkya?” asked Sayi.

“Me… Why should be I interested in that donkey?”

“Awww! You are telling my best friend donkey?”

“Obviously.”

“Okay! So why should I say anything regarding donkey? Now you go to your home. Bye”

She makes Virat out of her room and closes the door.

I am not outing anyone but still I am closing this episode. Next episode to be soon. Goodbye…
