Shaan: Hope u enjoying very well, ohhh!!! Mein to puchna bulgaya how was your date, i mean your first date.

Khanak didn’t understand what shaan was talking about; she was in shock with his sudden   

behaviour

Shaan : areh abto shadi kar rahiho toh bohut shari date bhi hongi .” he was saying all this loudly that anyone round can hear him

Sunil was there on pool side as he was worried thinking about them and shaan’s strange behaviour after returning from Pune , he heard sound coming from terrace other side and move to have a look who was shouting and saw shaan and khanak

Sunil : to himself “ Yeah dono yaha iss waqt aur ese kese baat kara hehe”

Khanak  was confused and  just stare at him, “ shaan tum yeh sab kya keh raheho  shadi, date and  ....

 Shaan : ohhh!!!! Come khanak mujse chupaneka kya faida and griped her tight on her upper arm

Khanak saw him pressing hard on her arm , shaan u are hurting me and her eyes become  watery.

 Shaan saw her eyes filled with tears, he jerked her and move a distance, he started shouting on her and said “ u r getting married to Romit n u didn’t even bother to tell me, i didn’t  know u have changed so much khanak , and u said i m hurting u.”  

Khanak: shaan yeh tum ............ ( confused )

Shaan: oh come on khanak stop it....abh chupane ka kya faida, sabko pata hai tumari shadi ka sirf mujse chupaya

Khanak: shaan tum yeh kya keh raheho....... shaadi and all

Shaan: forget it khanak .......... he didn’t listen to khanak and  left from there

 Khanak was dumb stuck hearing; she and Romit are getting married. She was more confused now hot tears run down her cheeks

 Sunil witness what had happened between them, and he too was shocked when shaan 

 related khanak with Romit.

After some time khanak left from there and sunil kept wondering what shaan has said

Sunil realised, shaan has taken all wrong and make his own story, he smiled thinking his son is really burthal, khanak was right when she called him burthal

He too head to his room with tension free but now how will he make shaan  confess his love to khanak, Madhvi saw him in deep thought and she ask him “is everything ok.” sunil looked at her wife, smiled and start laughing at his son act

Madhvi: sunil ese akele akele kyu hass raheho

Sunil: Madhvi, khanak sahi hai, tumara beta bilkul burthal hai ....( laugh loud )

Madhvi: sunil kya hai.....saab jag jaenge.........abh batao bhi kya huwa hai

Sunil: Tumara beta yeh samaj rahahe khanak ki hum shaadi karwa rahehe

Madhvi: khanak ki shaadi kisse ......yeh kya kehraheho tum sunil

Sunil: Madhvi puri baat toh suno

Madhvi was confused and then sunil narrate her all

Madhvi : OMG!!!!! Sunil !!!!!!  and she too laughed, and said My Poor baby

Sunil: ha tumara poor baby....( both laughed talk for sometime )

Next morning on breakfast

Sunil narrate all this to dadi and she was too shocked

Dadi : ufff yeh ajkal ke bache bhi .............  (smiled )

Sunil and madhvi : toh maa aabh hum kya kare

Dadi thought of an idea and it stuck her mind, mean while dadi was explaining his plan and other member join them, except khanak, Riya and shaan.

Akki and boo asked what’s going on and they too narrate to them

Khushboo was very happy

Khushboo: muhje toh pehle se hi pata tha ke they love each other paar didn’t no shaan will think like this ..........  (smiling )

Dadi : toh suno aab hame in dono koh paas lana hoga uske liye  saab ko thori acting karni padegi

They decide to involve Romit and Janvi in the act coz all misunderstanding was caused by Romit.

Shaan , Khanak and Riya joined them later and all eyes looked at shanak

Shaan: Good morning every one

Sunil: Good morning........ wese shaan kaal neendh toh achi ayi nah ...( control his laugh, Madhvi glare at him )

Shaan: kyu ..dad aap esa kyu puchraheho............. (looked at khanak )

Khushboo:  areh Khanak betho nah.......... khari kyu ho aur tum aaj puja mein kyu  nai ayi tabiyat toh thikh hai na tumari...........   ( hide her smile)

Khanak: bhabhi mein thikh hu ........ woh baas saar mein dard horahatha

Dadi: saar meh dard horahatha !!........... thikh se neendh nahi ayi kya

Khanak: nahi dadi mein thikh hu

All were having breakfast steeling glanced on both khanak and shaan

Dadi gesture sunil to start a conv

Khushboo: Khanak zara shaan koh parathe toh serve karo.......... kuch khahi nahi raha

Khanak served him but shaan gesture by his hand that he doesn’t want, khanak felt very bad

 All saw the action of shaan and then sunil started

Sunil : Khanak beta, woh muje tumse kuch baat karni hai

Khanak was sitting opposite shaan now “ Jee adda, kahiena .”

Sunil : woh khanak beta....  agar tumare dad hote toh unone tumari

Shaadi ke bare me socha hota, toh hum ne bhi ................

All eyes were own shaan

Khanak : Adda yeh aap........ (and looking at shaan )

Sunil: nahi khanak beta, humne tumare liye ek ladka pasand kiya hai ,woh mere ekk dosto ka beta hai, bahut acha  hai aur woh ladka tume do din baad dekhne arahahe, aur  usi din saab fixed kardege . mene unlogo ko tumari photo dhikhai toh unone tume pasad kar liya hai.

All were enjoying the scene and control them self not to laugh

Khanak didn’t know what to say as she was shocked

 Shaan was shocked looking what sunil had said and then at khanak

Shaan in his mind “ khanak ki shaadi lekin phir woh romit ka kya chakar hai, shaan yeh yaha kya horahahe agar 10 din baad khanak ki shaadi nahi hai toh phir majra kya hai.”

madhvi: haa khanak , mein tumari shadi mein koi kasar nai chorungi woh saab hoga joh  eek maa apni beti ki shaadi ke liye karti hai hum woh sari rasam nibhaenge

khanak didn’t know what to say and she looked at shaan

shaan to himself “ khanak ko ladka dekhne arahahe toh wo Romit.” and he kept thinking and was confused , he start wondering  whose marriage was going to take  place

after 10 days, if it’s not of khanak and Romit

khanak didn’t know what to say as Sunil and Madhvi  didn’t let her think of her parents ,  since she was 6  they were her parents and they gave her equal love as shaan and Akshay bhaa got from them

Dadi:  haa madhvi hum woh saab karege aur phir meri ladoh apne sasural chalijaegi ....( smiling )

 All wanted to have a loud laughter but control them selves

Jay, Boo and Akki too tease khanak about her marriage but her gaze was fixed on shaan

Jay: di i will miss u so much, aabh meh apni problem kiske saath share karunga  but koi baat nahi mein apse milne apke sasural zarur aunga kyu Bhai ( shaan)

 Shaan gave Jai a stern look and make his hand into a fit to hold his anger

 Jay hold his laugh and said koi baat agar bhai nahi ayega toh hum saab apse milne ayenge

 Khanak was still looking at shaan and her eyes became watery but she hold them back

Khushboo: areh Jay u don’t worry mein hu nah kyu Akshay ............

Akshay: haa hum hai na khanak u don’t worry hum tumse milne zarur ayenge, shaan bhi ayega ........ kyu chotey

Shaan in his mind “ bhaiya mein apko bhi dekhlunga lekin pehle pata toh chale yeh kya horahahe, pehle romit abh yeh shaadi.”

Akshay: areh chotey tum kuch bol kyu nahi rahahhe........ tum bhi kuch bol........ ( hide his chuckle )

Shaan just smiled to him and khanak looked at shaan

Riya: wow!!!!!!!!! Shaadi ................congratulation khanak, muje nahi patatha keh muje yaha ake shaadi meh shamil hona milega

 Shaan glared at her angrily

Jay: haa riya tume yaha mohut mazaa ayega

 They all finished their breakfast and sunil and Akki left for office

Before they left,

sunil : ok shaan are u done, chalo saath meh office chalteh hai

After what happened,  shaan was not in mood to go office, he wanted to clear his confusion and talk to khanak, he wanted to know whose marriage is after 10 days

Shaan : nahi dad woh muje aaj office ke bahar kuch kaam hai toh , aap log jaeye  and he left from there to his room .

 All left, khanak didn’t go to kitchen, instead she went to her room, she was thinking about the proposer of sunil

Shaan in his room

Shaan:  khanak ki shaadi ese kese koi ladka use dekhne arahahe, lekin mein kaal raat jistara uske saath behave kiya woh muhje nahi karna chahiye tha, lekin mein bhi kya karta usne muje kuch bataya hi nahi .....( passing in his room )

Shaan conscience “ dude tumne use bolne ka moka hi kaha diya keh woh tumse baat kar sake,aabh toh use koi aur dekhne arahahe aur uski shaadi romit se nahi horahihe.”

Shaan: ese kese uski shaadi kisi aur se hogi woh sirf meri hai samja tu

Shaan conscience “ acha jab woh tumare pass ayithi kaal raat tabh toh tume uske saath rudely behave kiya aur uski baat nahi suni aabh suddenly woh sirf tumari hai, aur bhulgaya tumne Pune meh bhi uske saath joh kiya woh  .”

Shaan: kaal raat mein ne khanak se acha bartav nahi kiya, muje use baat karnihogi abhi isih waqt .”

 Madhvi, boo and dadi were in the hall they were chatting and laughing and see their plan was working, Madhvi called Jaanvi and Romit, she explained their plan, they were too shocked knowing what shaan thought. Madhvi told them to come and joined them for dinner and take they plan ahead

Khanak came from her room deep in thought, Madhvi called her and make her sit with her, shaan too came from his room

It was her plan to go shopping with Jaanvi but she called her and cancelled it. Dadi and madhvi saw shaan and they start again, shaan move to them

Dadi : Madhvi mein soch rahithi ke khanak ke jane ke baad yeh gar kitna suna suna  hojaega................ ( sadly but happy in side )

Madhvi: haa mummy jee aap thikh keh rariho hum isseh bohut miss karenge

Khanak didn’t know what to say, she kept quite as many questions were still troubling her

Madhvi: areh shaan awoh ma beta, hum khanak ki baat kar rahethe , hum khanak koh bohut miss karenge uske janeke baad .

Shaan looked at khanak ,he wanted to talk to her and raised her head to looked at shaan Madhvi: mummy jee mein soch rahithi ke khanak chalijaegi , toh kyu na hum shaan ki bhi shadi karwade , khanak ki kami hame zyada mehsus nahi hogi

Iss gar me hamari choti bahu ajaegi ............ (Smiling seeing shaan looking at khanak)

Shaan in his mind “ what ??? meri shaadi no way mom please aap log jaeye na yahase muje khanak se baar karni hai .”

Khanak looked at shaan, khushboo saw them looking at each other and smiled

They stare at each other; dadi and madhvi were smiling seeing them

 Shaan gently massage her forehead and both stared into each other’s eyes, they were lost in their world, khushboo was just looking at them lovingly and enjoyed the scene, then after few minutes khanak  slept, last night she didn’t  slept well so when shaan massage her fore head she slept peacefully

Khushboo: acha huwa tum agae..........warna yeh kabhi nahi maanti....abh sogae hai toh thora aram milega

 Khushboo thought to tease shaan and see his reaction
