Magical water

Virat and Sai try to convince Vinu and Savi about the impossibility of having another sibling, Virat, “Vinu, Savi, you both are there for each other right? Then why you need another brother and sister?” Sai continues, “Yes Bada, you both have each other to shower love on each other, support each other and to share everything with one another then why you need one more brother and sister?” Vinayak dismayed, “Aai, but I can’t do those things with Savi which I want to do with a brother” Savi continues, “And Aai I can’t share those things with Vinu Dada which a girl can share only with another girl.” Vinayak and Savi together weepingly, “Aai-Baba won’t you give us another brother and sister” Patralekha gets furious on hearing that and walks away. Virat tells his children, “Vinu, Savi, there are certain things in this world which we wish to have but cannot have them because Bappa gives his children only that which is rightfully theirs. Same way Bappa has given you both each other as siblings because he knows you both will love each other immensely and will take care of each other. So you don’t need another brother or sister for that, alright?” Savi and Vinayak look disappointedly at each other. Virat hugs his children trying to console them and looks sadly at Sai. She reciprocates.

Morning, Virat and Pakhi’s bedroom

Virat is getting ready when Pakhi comes and asks him, “So how is your family plans going?” Virat was surprised to hear that and asks, “Huh?” Pakhi, “I heard what Savi and Vinayak asked you and Sai to give them.” Virat was taken aback. Pakhi continues, “So that gives you a chance to go back to your ex-wife right?” Virat, “What are you saying Pakhi?” Pakhi, “Why are you so surprised with what I am asking? Haven’t you always been in love with the one and only Sai Joshi even when you married me?” Virat was dumbfounded to hear that because knowingly or unknowingly he knew Pakhi was saying the truth. Pakhi understands the yes behind Virat’s silence and tells him, “Don’t you dare Virat!! Don’t you dare to ever leave me and go back to your ex wife because if you do that then you will see me doing something which you would have never thought about.” Pakhi turns and leaves after saying that while Virat was lost in thoughts. He tells himself, “No matter how much I want Pakhi, I will never be able to go back to Sai because I’m bound to you Pakhi through marriage.”

Devrast School

Vinayak and Savi are disappointedly sitting in their classroom with their hands on their chin after learning of the impossibility of having another sibling. Just then, their friend Shubam comes to them with sweets. Vinayak asks Shubham if it was his birthday that he was distributing sweets. Shubham tells him no but he is distributing sweets because his Aai-Baba gave him a new little sister. Vinayak and Savi get curious on hearing that. Savi asks him, “Wow Shubham you got a little sister, but how did your Aai-Baba give you a little sister?” Shubham gets thinking and tells Savi, “I don’t know Savi, my Aai-Baba were really happy with each other, then after sometime they came and told me that I am going to have a younger brother or sister and yesterday when I went home they introduced me to my little sister.” Savi and Vinayak get excited on hearing that. After Shubham goes to distribute sweets to the others. Savi and Vinayak get discussing, Vinayak, “So that means we have to make Aai-Baba happy with each other to get a brother and a sister?” Savi, “But Aai-Baba hardly ever talk to each other. So in that case how can we make them happy with each other?” Vinayak thinks and remembers something. Flashback Vinayak once catches Omi drinking Vodka and asks him, “What is it you are drinking Aajoba?” Omi gets scared and tries to mislead Vinayak, “Oh Vinu you here? This is a special kind of magical water which makes you really happy.” Vinayak, “Then I too want to drink it Aajoba!!!” Omi tries to distract him saying, “This water should not be drunk by children, it can be drunk only by elders so you can drink it when you grow old understood?” Flashback ends. Vinayak says, “Idea!!! Chote Aajoba has a special magical water which makes elders happy!! I will get it from Chote Aajoba’s cupboard and make Aai-Baba drink it!” Savi, “Ok but how can we bring Aai-Baba together and make them drink it?” Savi and Vinayak get thinking. Vinayak, “Savi we need to bring them together to a place where they can feel happy by drinking the magical water.” Savi, “What about mine and Aai’s room Dada?” Vinayak, “But in the house there are so many people that they may not drink the magical water and express their happiness with so many people around them.” Savi, “So you mean to say that they should be alone and drink the water?” Vinayak, “Yes, but where can we bring them alone?” As they were still pondering Shubham comes there again hearing their discussion and says, “Oh I know of a place where you can get your Aai-Baba together.” Vinayak and Savi together, “Where??” Shubham, “It’s my Aajoba’s friend’s guest house.” Vinayak asks, “But where is this guest house?” Shubam, “It is in the outskirts of Nagpur. The Aajoba who runs that guest house is also like my friend. I can talk to him for you both.” Vinayak, “Yes yes please talk to him and tell us.” Shubham, “Ok I will talk to him and let you know today evening itself.” Vinayak and Savi feel elated.

Sai’s Hospital

Sai is checking one of her patients when Patralekha comes there. Sai was surprised to see her and asks her, “Mrs Chavan you here?” Pakhi to Sai, “Sai I need to talk to you personally.” Sai agrees and takes Pakhi to her cabin.

In Sai’s Cabin

Once Sai and Pakhi take their seats in Sai’s cabin, Sai asks Pakhi what was the matter. Pakhi tells Sai, “I hope I don’t have to remind you everytime that Virat is my husband.” Sai was bewildered to hear that, “What do you mean?” Pakhi, “I know your children are asking you for giving them another sibling. But for fulfilling that, will you use my husband?” Sai angrily gets up from her seat and says, “Mrs. Patralekha Chavan, let me clear out to you one thing, I have no interest in your husband.” Pakhi, “Oh really? Is that why you are still single and staying in my husband’s house?” Sai replies, “My staying single has nothing to do with your husband and I’m staying in Chawan Nivas for my children, not for him.” Pakhi gets up saying, “I hope that you keep your word Ms. Sai Joshi and will not try to snatch my husband from me.” On saying that Pakhi turns around and leaves. While Sai keeps looking at Pakhi from behind and says, “There can never be anything now or ever between me and Mr. Chavan!!!”

Chavan Nivas

Vinayak and Savi had returned home and were doing their homework when Vinayak’s phone rings. It was Shubham on the other side. Shubham tells Vinayak, that the owner of the guest house was ready to help them. Vinayak feels elated and informs the same to Savi. Both jump in joy. Savi, “Vinu Dada, I think we should meet that Aajoba and tell him about our plan.” Vinayak agrees and asks Shubham to send him the location. In a few minutes, Vinayak gets the location in his phone. Vinayak asks Savi, “But how will we go there Savi?” Savi gets thinking.

After a few minutes, Savi and Vinayak are seen sneaking out from their room. Pakhi catches them and asks, “Where are you both going?” Vinayak, “Mumma, we are just going to Shubham’s house to play.” Pakhi, “Ok I will drop you there.” Savi, “No Pakhi Aunty, what will you do by coming there with us after all only we kids are going to play?” Pakhi asks, “Han but how will you go there alone?” Vinayak, “Mumma we both are together and not alone so don’t worry we will go with the driver and come back soon before it becomes late.” Pakhi was not convinced but however gives in to the children. She tells them, “Okay fine, but give me a call once you reach there and return home before it gets dark.” The kids shake their head in agreement and leave. Pakhi looks at them suspiciously from behind.

Guest House

Vinayak and Savi were thrilled to see how everything in the whole guest house was well arranged. Savi says, “Wow Vinu Dada, this place is wonderful. Aai-Baba will surely be very happy when they come here.” As she was still speaking, the old man who was the owner of the guest house comes there. He says, “Hello my kids, Shubham told me that you wanted this place to make your parents happy. But why do you want them to make them happy?” Savi replies, “Aajoba, Shubham said that his Aai-Baba gave him a little sister when they were really happy with each other so we want our Aai-Baba to be happy like that.” The old man blushes on hearing and lets out a laugh. Vinayak and Savi were confused seeing him laugh. Vinayak innocently, “Aajoba why are you laughing?” The old man, “Nothing bada, so you both want your Aai-Baba to be happy together so they can give you another sibling?” Vinayak and Savi nod. The old man continues, “But will they be happy here?” Savi, “We have a magical water to make them happy here.” The old man, “Magical water?” Vinayak takes out the vodka bottle which he had slyly stolen from Omi’s cupboard and shows it to the old man. The old man sniffs it and realizes it was Vodka. He laughs again. The children were confused. The old man, “My my, you both are really smart. I wish that Bappa will surely grant you your wish soon.” Savi, “But Aajoba how will we bring our Aai-Baba here?” The old man thinks for a while and says, “Well I can help you plan that out!!” The old man, Vinayak and Savi discuss together about their scheme.

Few minutes later, Commissioner Officer

Virat receives a call from Vinayak. He picks up the call and hears Vinayak crying on the other side. Virat gets worried, “What happened Vinu, why are you crying?” Vinayak says, “Baba, Me and Savi had come to Shubham’s Aajoba’s guest house to play and now Savi is nowhere to be found. Virat gets shocked and shouts, “What? How could you lose her?” Vinayak, “I searched for her everywhere Baba but could not find her.” Virat, “Send me the location. I will come there in a few minutes.” Vinayak sends him the location.

Few minutes later, Guest House

Virat as promised reaches there in a jiffy. He sees Vinayak and asks him, “Where were you both playing?” Vinayak, “Inside the guest house, Baba!!” Virat tries to rush into the guest house, when the old man stops him saying, “Sorry Sir, but you can’t take your phone inside.” Virat, “What??? What kind of a rule is that? And do you know who I am?” The old man, “Sorry Sir. I know you are the DCP of Nagpur but even if you are the chief minister you have to follow the rules because every place has it’s own rules and regulations.” Virat reluctantly gives his phone and rushes inside. After he goes in, Savi comes out and gives a thumbs up to Vinayak and the old man.

Inside the guest house

Virat is desperately running inside when he collides with Sai, their heads bang each other. Sai screams, “Ouch!!! What is wrong with you Virat? Can’t you see and walk?” Virat asks her, “Did you also come here looking for Savi?” Sai confusedly, “Savi?? I was called by Savi and told that Vinu was lost.” Virat was shocked and says, “And I was called by Vinu and told that Savi is lost.” As they kept gazing at each other in shock and confusion, the door of the guest house was shut behind them. Virat and Sai run towards the door. Virat shouts, “Vinu, Savi, What kind of prank is this? Open the door!!!” Vinayak and Savi together, “We will not open the door until you promise to give us what we want.” Sai asks, “What do you want?” Vinayak and Savi together, “A brother and a sister!!!” Virat and Sai were shocked to hear that.
