In the palace
The palace was in total hustle-bustle as today was the engagement of not one but three children of the house & also of such a prestigious family, so the hustle bustle was quite expected & the elder ladies of the house were not letting the others rest for even a single minute.
Kabir : bhabi, aaj toh meri aisi ki taisi ho gyi, yeh bhai ko engagement krni hi kyu thi, engagement honi hi nhi chahiye yrr, maar dala iss chotte se bacche ko itni mehnat kn krwata hai ( he said making crybaby & total nautanki faces)
Riya & malika : awww, mera baccha, gappu ja tu thodi der rest kr le, hum sambhal lenge yaha, aur tune kuch khaya( looking at his face), pta tha humein,
Riya : mein abhi tere liye kuch bhijwa deti hu, aur gappu ese khana skip mat krna ok
Kabir : bhabi, I just love you both, so much, mein aap dono ko chodkr kbhi nhi jaunga, you both are my world, aapk siwa koi aur samajhta hi nhi mujhe, kisi ko meri fikr hi nhi, huh ( total nautanki)
Sid : oye, nataunki, itni over acting mat kr bhai, kiya kya hai tune, aise react mat kr jaise hum kuch kr hi nhi rhe
Kabir : bhabi, bhai ko dekhna
Malika : shut up, sid kuch mat bolo mere bacche ko, aur aap toh aise bol rhe ho jaise subah se kaam kr rhe ho, sara kaam toh gappu ne kiya, kbse humari help kr rha hai, aap sb toh gayab ho, so ab rest krne do usse ( ab bichara sid apni wife ko kya bole ? & upar se kabir hugged his bhabi & showed his tongue to sid & happily ran away to his room)
The whole scene was witnessed by the oberoi ladies who were sitting with siya rana & sumitra randhawar who were shaking their head at kabir’s reaction
Dadi : kabir, riya & malika are really close
Siya : don’t ask aunty ji, he has given them the place of a mother in his life, they are motherly figure to him, he is always there to help his bhabi’s , it’s like their wish his command while the girls don’t leave a chance to spoil him, he is like their own baby
Jhanvi : yeah, like rudra is to shivom, their baby, the child of the house
Sumitra : well, in our family, all of them are grown up kids only, I don’t sometimes how they manage to live without us for a day also, you have seen arjun, ani, kabir fighting over the food at breakfast table that day, you should see how they all behave during festivals or sleepovers, they are just our kids
Dadi : you don’t like living without them ?
Siya : you see aunty ji, we both were raised in a joint family, with so many members, the house was always filled with joy & we never felt alone, after marriage we felt lonely till surya, vikram, dev decided to live together, anamika, sumitra & me were best friends & living at same house our bond become more strong, we were like sisters & they brothers, even when they become successful & we had so many bunglows, we wanted to live together, property, fame, money never mattered to us, you know b/w us there was nothing like its mine, it was always like it’s ours, but after that accident we had to separate, surya & anamika come here to live in their ancestral land, me & vikram in Mumbai while sumitra & dev went to banglore, we were still in contact, we were about to meet again but everything destroyed someone snatched our anamika from us(while saying so siya & sumitra both has tears in their eyes) , but see now we are here again as a big happy family with all those kids & like us for them also it’s their family & like anamika wanted we all are parents for them, they all call us mom & dad never differentiating
Dadi : you are really lucky to have such friends & kids in your life ( while dadi, pinky & jhanvi were thinking about their own family, this family is made of frnds still has such a unity while their own family which is blood related always fought with each other, pinky thought how she wanted everything for her, she wanted shivaaye to be the heir, she always differentiated b/w shivaye, om & rudra, they were always after the money & forgot the imp of relationship, another thing that they realized was why blood, name, status didn’t mattered to anika even though she was a royal, because of her upbringing they were not taught to discriminate, they were taught to love & care)
Jhanvi : you, guys got a lovely family
Siya : and now, you’re part of that family, have anyone checked the food department, I don’t want any dish to be missing, I wanted a fav dish of each of them & I just hope the cooks got it right
Pinky : oh my mata, wasn’t the ring going to come till now, where is that jeweler now
Dadi : yeah & see the garden is also not decorated till now
Riya : what, happened mom ??
Siya : riya beta, dekho na itna kaam pra hai, I don’t know, how will it all be completed before evening
Riya : don’t worry mom, me & mallika are handling all inside, rings ki delivery kyu nhi huyi yeh checkout krne I’ve sent sid & arjun & gardens decoration gauri is getting some new decors so after sometime, it all will be done, so don’t worry
Sumitra : ab aap yeh bhi bta do hum kya krey fir ?
Riya : ( laughing ) aapka sbse imp kaam rest & humein supervise, mom aap mera ek kaam karoge pls
Siya & sumitra : bolo, na baccha
Riya : can you pls decide for me, what should I wear in the evening, I can’t decide anything & your choice is best after all
naira : mine too mom, you know something dashing, akhir mere bhai aur behen ki engagement hai, mere designer ne itni dresses bhej di, I’m confused yrr
Siya : seedha- seedha, bolo na tum sbki dress humein hi select krni hai, humesha ki tarah
Riya & naira : you know us mom, accha hum cooks k paas ja rhe hai, do you want to add anything else in the menu
Jhanvi : no beta
Riya & naira : just nodded & left from there
Sumitra : chalo, siya inki dresses decide krne mein hi time lagega ab toh
Jhanvi : mtlb
Siya : voh kya hai na, har function mein yeh kya pehne wale hai yeh humein hi dekhna prta hai
Pinky : oh my mata, aisa why’s, they are big baccha’s why not choose their own & your bahus too
Sumitra : well, we don’t know about it ourselves but this kids are crazy that way
Siya : we will meet you guys after sometime, first let us check, what they actually want
After they left
Dadi : I wish my family was like this also, meine itna pyaar sirf apne poto mein dekha tha jitna inke pure pariwaar mein hai
Jhanvi : ha, mummy ji , our children were never dependent on us, we were never part of their lives, we were in their lives but we never knew what they wanted, they grew up without
us & when now we want to be part of their lives they are so distant from us, they say a mother knows her children best but we don’t know anything about our own children, our own children are strangers to us.
Pinky : jethaniji you’re rights & sorry I’m , for whatevers I’ve said to you in past
Jhanvi : I’m also sorry pinky, but let’s forget about past now & concentrate on our future, our family should be united again, no differences & misunderstandings now
Pinky : jethani ji saying rights, we should also go &gets ready now, mummy ji chale
Dadi : ha chalo ( in mind : thank god, you’ve finally listened my prayer of one united happy family, I wish billu k dadaji was alive today to see his family finally becoming one & moving on the path shown by him, how can I thank this family for coming in our life & changing all the dynamics)
With shakti, tej, surya, vikram & dev
This five people were sitting on the terrace doing nothing, well vikram & dev were planning how they will try to eat sweets in the evening party without getting caught by their wives, which was pretty imp task for them as sweets were totally prohibited to them
Surya : why are you trying in vain, when you know siya & sumitra will caught you both even before you had started
Vikram : And that’s why people say hare k frnd kamina hota hai
Dev : yeah, obviously never support your frnds & down moral them, that’s so mean bro
Surya : oh, drama queens don’t try emotional blackmail with me or I’ll inform your son & then you can eat all the sweets you want
Vikram : have you gone mad, sid will throw all the sweets out of the house & arjun is totally going to support his best friend & kabir will eat all the sweets infront of us , but after making sure their dear mothers is sitting in front of them, so we can’t take any sweet from him
Surya : well, I’ll enjoy that scene for sure, but I just can’t believe Rv has gone so much that he is getting engaged today & my princess ishu too, she was just a kid few days ago also, whenever I come both of them will come running to me & ask baba chocolate or baba lets go for ride
Dev : yeah & dhanush is married & going to be a father, I just can’t believe it, we are going to be grandfathers but it seems like it was just yesterday when I was teaching him to call me dad & now he himself is going to be a dad
Vikram : you remember, when arjun was for the first time learning how to ride his bicycle & he had fallen down, how he had come crying to us, saying the cycle was bad to be precise evil, he will never touch the cycle again
Surya : oh, how could I forget that & after how much tries & consoling he had learnt cycling & now look at him, he gets hurt so badly in many missions but won’t utter a single word of pain. He thinks he is so tough & strong, but he forgets we are his parents & his pain can never be hidden from us
Dev : yeah, right, sid also handles all the burden of business without saying a word, he thinks I don’t understand when he is stress or under pressure, I know everything about him, yet, I can’t describe how proud I feel, when without loosing his calm, he manages everything but I’ll feel more better if he don’t keep it all to himself
Surya : they, never keep their problems to themselves dev, you know it but I still can’t forget the days when arjun was trying to teach ani & kabir how to swim & when kabir & ani come out of the pool & back home they both complained to me saying arjun was trying to drown them & there were monsters in the pool, I can’t explain how much me & anamika laughed at their crazy excuses & more than that at arjun’s face expressions
Vikram : they will always be kids for us isn’t It guys, no matter how much old they become they always will be our small children, whom we taught everything, how to walk, how to eat, how to talk, how to behave, what is right, what is wrong, everything we knew
Dev : do you know, when a guy was troubling naira in college, arjun ,sid, Rv & D has threatened him so badly that he left the city from their fear
Surya : oh, I won’t doubt their ability of threatening people but why is kabir missing from this list, I know my baby boy can threaten pretty good when he wanted too
Vikram : guys, take some pity on the poor guy & kabir was out of station for his concert remember & if he had joined them then the guy, would have gone out of the country from their fear
Dev : yeah, he was one of those rich spoilt kids, who thinks if they dominate & threaten other to show their power than only they will be powerful, I pity their upbringing actually
While this three were talking tej & shakti were deep in thoughts, they were guilty for missing so much of their children’s childhood & envying this three guys, tej don’t know when om first started painting or when om first started talking he couldn’t remember that, he didn’t know whether some random guy was troubling prinku or not & if so then what happened to that guy, he knew shivaye would have looked after that matter as he was more parent to his kids then him, listening to their talks he remember rudra & how child like he is still now, but how mature he becomes when situation demands his children are stranger to him, he don’t when they started doing what, who taught them what they had learnt, cause at that time his concentration was only on how to take his business to a new level, he now regrets it & thinks how would it have been if he had spent sometime with his children also, maybe then om would have been calling him dad instead of that horrid word Mr oberoi, may be then rudra wouldn’t calling him amreeshpuri & maybe instead of om he would have given Rv don’t hurt my daughter ever speech & maybe his children were not stranger to him, his family not so distant, his brother would have been his best friend & his love not so angry on him, the condition of shakti was not feeling any better than tej, for him also shivaye has grown too fast, he was too mature for his age, he has taken the burden of the whole family on his shoulders & no doubt had many secrets buried inside him, he had seen shivaye taking care of omru & prinku, maybe once shivaye also wanted to be cared like that & they were too busy for him, no matter how much they wanted they couldn’t change it all now, not at all……..
Precap : the engagement
