Sorry for the delay… I am dedicating this episode to all my awesome readers!!! Special dedication: Archi
Recap:
~Neha’s sasural~
Ranvir breaks Neha’s fast…
Neha: Ranvir… I want to discuss something with you…
Ranvir: What is it Neha?
Neha: Ranvir… I…
Ranvir: Go on… Why hesitating so much?
Neha: Ranvir… I want to start working….
Ranvir: Work? Why suddenly?
Neha: ~feels slightly awkward~ Well… I always wanted to achieve something… ~turns away~ I want to create an identity for myself… I have always felt that Bhai got everything… I have always been identified as Dev’s sister… I wish to be known as Neha….
Ranvir: ~turning Neha towards him~ If that’s what you want, go ahead… I am with you… I know you have that ability in you…
Neha: But I am not as educated as my Bhai…. I want to work, but don’t know whether I will get…
Ranvir: ~cups Neha’s face~ Remember what you felt about learning English? You were frustrated and angry… But once you began learning, there was no stopping you… I agree that initially it will be tough… But, you will get used to it… Before clinching your job, you need to attend interviews… I will groom you on how to clear interviews successfully…
From dressing to common questions that can be asked, I’ll train you…
Neha: ~looking grateful~ Really Ranvir? I am so grateful…
Ranvir: Hey… I am not doing any favour… I need a return payment for my services…
Neha: Payment? What kind of payment? ~smiling softly~
Ranvir: ~pulls Neha close; hugs her~ I need kheer prepared by my lovely wife…. Only then I will…
Neha: ~hugs Ranvir~ Done!
Ranvir: Neha… Please tell ma, once before you apply… That way you can take her blessings too…
Neha: I will Ranvir… ~smiles~
Ranvir smiles…
Neha goes out… ~Neha’s pov~ I am sorry Ranvir… I had to lie… I promise to work hard and support you… If not every other expense, I can at least manage my expenses…
~Hall~
Neha: Mummyji…
Neha’s sasuma: Haan Neha?
~Devakshi Home~
Sona: Dev!!! What’s the surprise?
Dev: Open your eyes now…
Sona: ~opening her eyes wide~ What’s this? Tickets?
Dev: ~hugs from behind~ Yup… It’s honeymoon package… Paris…
Sona: Paris!!! How did you know that I loved Paris as honeymoon destination? I didn’t tell you… ~looks surprised and excited~
Dev: ~scratches his head slightly~ Well, I cheated there… I called Elena to find out…
Sona: ~laughs slightly~ Not bad Mr. Obodhro!!! How long have you planned for?
Dev: 10-15 days… Elena told me that much… I have even applied for our visas…
Sona: Awesome!!! Thank you so much Dev!!! When are, we leaving?
Dev: Haven’t planned yet… Let us decide once the visas come… Okay?
Sona: Okay Mr. Dikshit!!! I am so happy!!! Awww… Mr. Obodhro is so caring…
Dev: ~frowns~ Ms. Bose… Even now I am Obodhro?
Sona: It’s Mrs. Dikshit for you… ~hugs Dev~
Rabi: ~coughing slightly~ See, I told you that she doesn’t miss us anymore… She has her saiyyan now…
Devakshi move away; feeling embarrassed…
Sharan: You are right bro…
Sona: Sharan! Rabi!! What are you both doing here?
Sharan: We thought you will be missing us and decided to come… Here, came and realized that you are enjoying a lot… ~pouts~
Sona: Hey!!! It’s nothing like that… I do miss you all!!!!
Dev: ~winks at Rabi and Sharan; gasps~ Iska matlab… You feel that I don’t love or care enough about you…. You miss your brothers…. ~looks down~
Sona: ~looking exasperated~ Dev!!!! Tum bhi!!!! ~looks angry~
Dev, Sharan and Rabi start laughing…
Sona: ~huffs~ You!!!!
Rabi: Sorry di… ~hugs Sona~
Sharan: Hey!!! Me too… Group hug time!!! ~also hugs Sona~
Sona: ~smiles~ I feel so happy!!! ~stomach growls~ And hungry as well ~looks sheepish~
Rabi: Awww my dear sis… Looks like my sis was starving all day… Jijaji, where’s the food? She’s so hungry…
Dev tries telling…
Sharan: So, unfair that our sis is fasting… No rules for jijaji….
Sona: Awww… Please don’t pull his leg… He’s also on fast… For me…
Dev: ~nods as stomach growls~ Very hungry… Let’s eat… Please
Sharan and Rabi look at each other surprised…
Sharan: Wah!! Superb! This is called love…
Rabi: ~throws arm around Dev~ I am so proud of you jijaji… But are you sure you want lambi aayu of our Sona… Will be very difficult to manage… ~smiles mischievous~
Dev: ~mock thinks~ I didn’t even think about it!!! Oops…
Sona: ~gasps~ Rabi!! Dev!!!
Sharan, Dev and Rabi laugh again…
Sharan: Achcha, we will leave now… We brought few gifts… Here’s for you both… ~hands small boxes~
Dev: Thank you so much…
Sharan and Rabi: Bye!!!
Sona: ~feels emotional~ Bye…
Sharan and Rabi leave…
Sona: ~pulls Dev’s ear~ What was that?
Dev: Sona!!! Ouch… Sorry… I was just having fun…
Sona: ~twists some more~ So bad… Mr. Obodhro!!!
Ishwari: ~coming out; looks shocked~ Dev… Sona… What are you both doing here? The fast has been broken na? Shouldn’t you both be inside for dinner?
Sona releases Dev’s ear…
Dev: Ma… We were just coming…
Devakshi enter the home feeling sheepish…
Ishwari shakes her head…
~Dining room~
Everyone sit and Sona starts serving…
Ria: Yummy… The food smells so amazing…
Nikki: Yes… I feel so hungry… I can a whole person now…
Mamaji: ~laughing~ Eat na… Arey Sona bahu, sit down… Start eating…
Sona: Ji Mamaji…. ~sees Ishwari~ Ma… Please sit down… I will serve…
Ishwari enters and sits… Sona starts serving…
Finally, Sona sits to eat…
Dev: Mamaji… Ma… We have planned to go on our honeymoon… Paris ~looks slightly nervous~
Ishwari: Honeymoon?
Ria and Nikki: PARIS!!!!!
GKB (Radha Rani): Waise Parys? Yeh kahan pe aata hai? Assam ke paas? People keep weird names there…
Mamaji: Radha… Paris, Assam ke paas nahi hai… Videsh… Out of Bharat… That’s amazing Dev beta… When are, you planning to?
Dev: Will decide as soon as the visas come Mamaji… Had applied 20 days ago… It should come any moment now…
Ishwari: ~looks uncomfortable~ For how many days?
Dev: About 10-15 days? You should ask Sona… She has planned a huge list of things…
Ishwari: ~looks at Sona~ So Sona decided this trip?
Dev: Nahi ma… I gave Sona a surprise! Elena told me about Sona’s dream… I thought why not fulfil it?
Sona looks at Dev gratefully and feels proud…
GKB (Radha Rani): 15 days? ~looks at Ishwari~ Par jiji se pooche bagair? How can you do that? How can you take decision on your own? And Sona has a huge list of things – matlab you will ask Sona and decide everything?
Dev: Wo…
Mamaji: Radha!!! It’s honeymoon trip… Newlyweds go on the trip… Dev will obviously look for wife’s approval na? Sona has to go with him… Not me, you and Ishwari… Dev beta, you don’t take tension… Just plan for the trip… Okay?
Dev: Ji Mamaji… Ma, tu teek hai na…. I wanted to surprise Sona… So, kept it a secret…
Ishwari: ~nods uncomfortable~ It’s alright… ~Ishwari’s pov~ Dev decided everything… How can he stay away from me for such a long period? Maybe he didn’t think of it… I will talk to him, then he will understand…
Nikki: Bhaiyya…. Bhabhi… We want loads of things from Paris… Bhaiyya I am going to give you a huge list…
Ria: Not just you… Even I will…
Dev: No problem… Whatever, you want write and give… We will get them all… Perhaps, give it to Sona… She knows about girl’s fashion more than me…
Sona: ~smiles~ Yes… Otherwise, you will have to adjust with dull and boring colours like grey…
Nikki: No way… Bhabhi, you have to do shopping for us… Waise, we are very happy to see this side of bhaiyya…
Ria: Ya… He never used to go for shopping… Attend business meetings and come home straight…
Dev: ~smiles~ Waise, we have to go for shopping before we leave for our honeymoon… I will take off for couple of days…
Sona: ~nods~ Teek hai… Not just for Ria and Nikki… We will get gifts for everyone… ~smiles brightly~
GKB looks pleased…
Soon everyone finish their dinner and leave to their respective rooms…
~Ishwari room~
Ishwari paces around; feeling tensed… ~Ishwari’s pov~ First the vrat… Now this… My Dev is deciding everything on his own… Has he forgotten me? Am I not very important for him anymore? How shall I find out?
Ishwari feels nervous…
~Neha’s sasural~
Neha: Mummyji…
Neha’s sasuma: Haan Neha?
Neha: Mummyji… I want to start working… Find a job…
Neha’s sasuma: Job? Achanak?
Neha: Ji mummyji… I want to create an identity for myself… Khud ke pehchaan… ~looks down~
Neha’s sasuma: Did you speak to Ranvir? What did he tell?
Neha: Haan mummyji… He has no issues…
Neha’s sasuma: Then how can we have issues with that? Go… Find a good job and start working…
Neha: ~feeling relieved; bends to take blessings~ Thank you, mummyji…
Neha’s sasuma: Arey re… No touching my feet… You are my beti… ~lifts her~ I want you to succeed in your job… My aashirwaad is with you…
Neha smiles
