Hey people…..
Thank you for all the love and support till now…
Moving on to the 23rd part of the story….
The episode begins with Viplav looking at the night sky shining bright in the moonlight.He then closes his eyes…and he sees Richa approaching to him smiling while he hears her same words of moving on which Richa said in his dream before his wedding with Dhaani…He smiles and thinks “Richa,I hope I am doing right.I think I am in love with Dhaani…” and opens his eyes… On turning back,he sees Dhaani looking at him. He looks on and gives a slight smile…Dhaani looks at him..and slightly smiles…not saying anything…She then looks at him and asks him to sleep as its quite late… Viplav nods saying he would sleep after few minutes… Dhaani nods…and lies down to sleep….Viplav sighs… Dhaani turns back to him and wishes him good night….Viplav smiles and replies “Good Night”
On the other hand,Dhaani closes her eyes and goes to flashback….
FLASHBACK:
Dhaani and Shaalu are bringing the stuffs and setting the table for the lunch after Viplav and Raj came home and broke the news of the new deal that they cracked.Dhaani then gets busy with cake and stuffs…When she goes behind kids asking them not to run fast,she comes across Viplav and Raj who are talking about her and Viplav… She hears them talking…
Raj: Viplav,you have hurt Dhaani Bhaabhi…now genuinely apologize to her and yes…tell her your feelings…
Dhaani gets attentive hearing HIS FEELINGS..
Viplav:Shh!!Raj… Dhaani will hear… I know I need to apologize to her…whenever I talk to her about that day,either she walks off or shuts down herself from me.
Raj:Viplav…being a fool,you made a mistake,now just fix it…
Viplav: I will do it… I just want Dhaani to forgive me..and I want our relation to be something else… I can’t see her weeping hiding from everyone…She thinks I don’t know it…but I know..I can’t see her crying face,Raj.I can’t see her upset…Seeing her in that state makes me miserable.I want that genuine smile on her face when she is with me…
Viplav stops in the middle while a lone tear escapes from Dhaani’s eyes…who thinks she had been harsh on Viplav…thinking about her sorrow only…He did shout on her…but that was the heat of the moment which made him do so…Before she could think anything more,she further hears….
Viplav:I won’t force Dhaani to forgive me. I just want her to talk to me…with that smile…
Raj fakes a cough and teases Viplav…while he sighs saying… “I hope Dhaani forgives me soon…and we become friends again.”
Before Dhaani could register his words,kids come calling Dhaani and Viplav….
Dhaani wipes her tears and thinks about Raj telling about Viplav’s feelings for her.. She fears if it is that feeling..but then thinks otherwise…
Flashback ends…
At present time,Dhaani thinks “Viplav,I want to forgive you… I can’t see you defeated everytime when you try to talk to me…I need some time…nI really do….” Soon sleep consumes her. Viplav looks at Dhaani’s sleeping figure…and then looks back at the night sky…He sighs… and thinks “Hope the new morning brings something new….”
Next morning, Viplav wakes up to find Dhaani sleeping with few strands of her hair covering her face. He smiles and forwards his hand to remove those strands off her face.. He does it slowly..and smiles looking at her once again…and wishes her good morning in his mind.. He then gets down from the bed and walks off to freshen up… Dhaani slowly opens her eyes… and a lone tear escapes her eyes..thinking something..Soon,she wipes her tears on hearing the door of the washroom opening and Viplav’s footsteps approaching her…She gets up…. Viplav looks at her and smiles… Dhaani too slightly smiles…Viplav sighs sensing her forced smile rather than the cheerful one which she used to give before….. Dhaani looks at him when he heavily sighs… and looks on when he walks off without saying anything….
Moments later,Raj is seen entering inside happily. Shaalu looks at him and asks “Bhaaiya Congratulations… I am so happy for you….” Raj says “Thank you Fatso…you also got to know…anyways where is Viplav?”Raj grabs the glass and pours himself a glass of water. Shaalu says “Bhaai,by the way who is the girl?” Raj asks “Which girl fatty?” Shaalu says “Don’t act ..I know you are getting married…that’s why this glow and happiness is in your face… By the way you are so chupa rustom…you did not tell it before …..Hearing this,Raj spits the water he was drinking and coughs…Shaalu asks him what happened…Kanak,Dhaani and Viplav come out hearing them… Viplav goes to Raj…Raj looks at him and then Shaalu …and asks “Are you mad??Who told you I am getting married… I was here to… “ He wipes the water around his blazer and huffs…Everyone laugh..while Viplav giggles seeing Raj patting Shaalu’s head…and Raj says “Don’t say that from now on Fatso… heart attack se marr jaata mein(I would have died of heart attack….) Shaalu giggles.. Viplav and Raj pat her head..then she huffs in irritation… Dhaani smiles looking at them….
Raj then informs he was there to tell them something…but this fatty and her nonsense …uff..Shaalu huffs in irritation and whines looking at Viplav asking him why don’t he say anything to Raj Bhaai… Viplav says “My dear fatty…you…” Before Viplav could say anything… Shaalu says “I hate you both…you always call me that… “ and goes to Dhaani whining like a kid.. Dhaani hugs her…Raj and Viplav look at each other…Then they proceed to Shaalu and catch their ears to ask for a ‘Sorry’.. Shaalu giggles… Both of them smile and hug her… Shaalu gets happy to get pampered by her brothers like that.
She releases herself from the hug and then goes to Dhaani who is smiling seeing their bond with teary eyes… Dhaani wipes those tears before Shaalu could question her.…Viplav looks at Dhaani…but Dhaani rushes inside …Shaalu goes behind her and Viplav sighs..Raj makes him look at him and asks him to give some time to Bhaabhi…he is sure there would be some improvements soon.Viplav nods and then asks about the foreign delegates.Raj replies “Foreign delegates informed that they are arriving tomorrow and formal announcement of the deal would be made soon…” Viplav gets happy.. Both of them then make plans of making the venture successful….They inform the family about it… Kanak blesses Viplav and Raj while Dhaani gets happy for them.She happily goes to bring some sweets for them. She brings sweets and Raj thanks her.She congratulates him and goes towards Viplav…She mouths Congratulations in a mere whisper..Viplav smiles… and thanks her for the sweets….
Later on, Dhaani is seen with kids in the school premises. She hugs both of them and asks if they ate their tiffin well… Kids nod happily…She kisses on their foreheads… She watches them happily holding their hands…She takes them towards the car…and makes them sit inside… She then buckles up their seatbelts..and comes to her seat and drives off buckling her seat belt up…Soon,they reach home… On reaching home,kids get excited as they see Viplav… Dhaani wonders if he did not go office today…. Once kids come out of the car …they run to reach Viplav…He opens his arms happily to hug his children… Dhaani comes to them…Viplav looks at her… Dhaani too looks at him…Dhaani stands there hesitant to talk…Kids see that and ask Viplav…if he hasn’t said sorry to their mommy yet… Dhaani looks on…Viplav looks at Dhaani and back to the kids… He says “Babies,you ask your mommy..” Dhaani looks at him….Kids too look at Dhaani innocently…She then asks “Who wants yummy pancakes…hmm?” Kids squeal me me…in excitement…Viplav watches them with a smile… He puts kids down from his arms…and they run….Dhaani walks behind them asking them to not run… She stops and turns to Viplav…She says “Next time,if kids ask the same question…then tell them that mommy needs time to forgive daddy….” She goes… Viplav looks on….and smiles slightly…thinking Dhaani talked atleast….
Later,Viplav is talking to the delegates on call… He is talking about some party…He hangs up the call..and then makes a call to Raj…
Raj: Kya hua bol Viplav?(Tell Viplav…what happened??)
Viplav:They are talking about a party… kinda success party….
Raj: Arrey…I know about it…But why are you tensed???
Viplav:Because they have invited Mr. and Mrs. Tripathi in the party…
Raj:What’s with this now? You both are invited..so go…what’s the fuss???
Viplav gets irritated…and says : Raj,you so know about the fuss….
Raj: Ask Dhaani if she would go with you… I am sure she won’t deny…Come on….
Viplav: How??
Raj: Viplav… man up..buddy….Tell her that you both are invited….I bet she won’t deny…Did you forget she is happy with the success our company got? She would be happy for this too….
Viplav: But???
Raj: Don’t whine now.. I know she is angry with you….and she has the right to be angry with you…that does not mean you stop trying to seek forgiveness. This is a chance Viplav.You two would get to spend some time and trust me…it will work….
Viplav: Do you think so??
Raj: Yes…now go..and tell her…. Bye
Viplav: Haan Bye….
He hangs up the call and then sighs…
He goes towards his room but does not find Dhaani… He then goes towards kids’ room and sees Dhaani singing lullaby for Rishi and Suhaani…He smiles hearing Dhaani… Dhaani smiles caressing kids’ hair and watches her kids giggling and having a good laugh… Viplav smiles widely and then takes out his cell phone..He keeps the phone in the silent mode…and then clicks a picture….He looks at that picture…and smiles caressing it… Seeing kids’ and Dhaani having good time,he just goes from there thinking he would talk to Dhaani later….
Moments later,when she comes to the room,she finds Viplav asleep clenching his cell phone…She sighs…. And goes near him…She thinks to take the phone from his hand…and forwards her hand… Viplav moves in sleep… Dhaani sighs…She tries to take the phone…She finally takes it… She looks on seeing the wallpaper on the phone…It was her photo with kids… She understands Viplav captured it few minutes back.. She smiles…. And then keeps the phone besides the bed…She then goes towards her side of the bed and lies down to sleep…Soon,sleep consumes her….
Days pass….Viplav finds Dhaani working on her designs…He goes near her… Dhaani looks at him and asks if everything is okay… Viplav says No… Dhaani stands up…and asks again…. Viplav fumbles
You did not even think for a minute before snapping at her and hurting her…and now finding difficult to ask a single question… His mind mocks him…Viplav gets nervous….Dhaani looks at him..and asks if anything is bothering him…then he can share… Viplav looks at her….
Viplav: Dhaani…woh…actually…those foreign delegates…are hosting a party..for their collaboration with us….and….
Dhaani: That’s so nice of them….what’s the problem then???
Viplav: They have invited me… I mean me and you… I mean us….so…
Dhaani: You mean they have invited us??
Viplav nods in yes….
Dhaani then sighs and says “Viplav,seriously…you need to grow up…. I was having dangerous thoughts… and you just wanted to ask about party..”
Viplav looks on… Dhaani then realizes her words…She looks at him….Viplav mouths a sorry… He tells her that he was afraid to ask…Dhaani replies…she is ready to go along with him.. He does not have to worry about it… Viplav says “Thank you Dhaani…thank you so much… You don’t know what you have done saying yes for this party…” Viplav realizes he held her shoulders in excitement…He looks on… Dhaani too looks on…. The trance gets broken when Kanak calls her… She says she needs to go….Viplav nods… Once Dhaani goes,he smiles…Later,he calls Raj to inform that Dhaani agreed to accompany him to the party…
Soon there comes the day of the party…. Kanak and Shaalu were happy to know that Viplav and Dhaani would attend the party as Mr. and Mrs. Tripathi…. Kids also get happy…Dhaani was worried about kids… Shaalu asks her not to take tension and enjoy the party with Bhaai…Dhaani smiles slightly…. Shaalu then goes asking her to get ready… Dhaani gets a call from Viplav…
Viplav:Hello,Dhaani…
Dhaani: Hello Viplav…I was going to get ready… you won’t be late because of me….
Viplav: Oh… I would come soon and pick you up…
Dhaani:Ok..then…
None of them speak for a minute… But then to cut it short…Dhaani says she is going to get ready for the party….and will wait for him… Viplav says okay…and hangs up….
Moments later Dhaani comes getting ready in a pretty gown…She looks at herself in the mirror and reminisces the flash back….
Few days back,when Dhaani came out of the washroom while towel-drying her hair,she saw Viplav with some package in his hand…. On seeing Dhaani,he keeps his hand back and hides the package…Dhaani asks if he is okay…Viplav says Yes… he is fine… and moves back.Before Dhaani could question him,Rishi comes calling her…and she goes… Viplav then sighs…and looks at the package…He then opens the wardrobe and keeps the package inside… He then smiles…and goes out… Dhaani comes back and opens the wardrobe only to find a beautiful blue gown…She looks on…and thinks Viplav was hiding this…and smiles… She keeps the packet back..and goes….
At present time,Dhaani looks at herself in the mirror…and smiles slightly… PLEASE HAVE A LOOK AT DHAANI’S GOWN….
Shaalu sees Dhaani ready…and exclaims in happiness…Dhaani smiles..Shaalu says “Bhaai would go mad seeing you like this….he is toh gone now…. “ and nudges Dhaani…Dhaani blushes…Shaalu smiles…and hugs her….Dhaani looks at her one last time…and then goes along with Shaalu…
Soon,Viplav comes home…and goes to freshen up and get ready….. PLEASE HAVE A LOOK AT VIPLAV’S ATTIRE

He looks for Dhaani once he comes out getting ready in his tuxedo…all set for the party… He then comes out of his room…There he sees Dhaani all set,looking mesmerizing… Viplav keeps looking at her lovingly…
Rang jo laagyo( From Ramaiya Vastavaiya) plays in the background…[Listen to this song while reading the scene please…hope you would love it…HONESTLY..I DID LISTEN TO IT WHILE WRITING THIS SCENE….]
He moves towards Dhaani… Dhaani looks at him…Viplav’s eyes too are fixed on Dhaani.. He stops near her…He says “You are looking gorgeous Dhaani….” Dhaani blushes…and looks down…But then looks up immediately and mouths a small ‘Thank you.’ Viplav smiles….and forwards his hand to take Dhaani’s hand… Dhaani gives him for hand…and together they descend… Kanak and Shaalu get happy seeing them and wave at them..asking them to have fun….They smile…and proceed towards the door….
Viplav and Dhaani…are now in the car…Soon,they reach the venue…. Raj comes to them…and dramatically feigns a heart attack saying “Bhaabhi..you are looking fab…” Dhaani smiles…and thanks him…Viplav nudges Raj and says “Nautanki…no more flirting with my wife….” Raj smiles…and all three of them..go inside…. They are welcomed…. All the eyes are on Mr. and Mrs. Tripathi…as this is the first time…they have come up together in any event….Dhaani gets nervous with all eyes on her…. Viplav looks at her..and holds her hand..assuring her that he is with her…no matter what… She looks at him when his hands get intertwined with hers… Few people come to them…and compliment about them… Viplav and Dhaani talk to them…with Viplav still holding Dhaani’s hand..and Dhaani too not resisting at all…. Raj is watching all this and gets happy…
Soon there is an announcement for dance… Viplav hesitates seeing Dhaani hesitating when a person asks them to join…When few of them insist,Dhaani looks at Viplav.Viplav too looks at her and assures her that he is with her… He takes Dhaani’s hand ….and both of them proceed towards the dance floor… Dhaani looks hesitant…But Viplav asks her not to worry… He asks her to place one hand on his shoulder and he holds her other hand…intertwining with his hand… Dhaani looks on… Viplav smiles…Dhaani too passes a slight smile….Soon the song begins….
