Both daya and shreya did not talk much all the way..infact shreya pretended to sleep in flight just to avoid talking to daya…finally the flight landed at Mumbai airport…abhijeet and nikhil were again there to receive them…as shreya see nikhil she just hugged him…daya also came and hugged both abhijeet and nikhil…

Abhijeet: welcome back to Mumbai…to shreya kaisi rahi trip?

Abhijeet: are yaar daya abhi abhi to aaye ho ..saans to le lo case ki baate to hoti rahengi..chalo pehle ghar chalte hain…sab tum dono ko bahut miss kar rahe hain…

Shreya came and hugged taniya…The way shreya gugged her, Taniya got that shreya is disturbed with something…

Taniya: shreya, kya hua beta…tu pareshan lag rahi hai…

Shreya separated from hug..

Shreya: nahi mom kuch nahi…maine aap logo ko bahut miss kiya..

Purvi: bhabhi jhooth mat bolo…bhaiya aapke sath the to aap hume kyun miss karegi bahla?

Pratima: tu chup kar purvi…aate hi use chedna shuru kar diya.. and she went and hugged shreya….beta achha hua tum dono aa gaye…tum dono ke bina aisa lag raha tha…jaise ghar me koi ho hi na…

Tarika also came and hugged shreya…

Tarika: sach shreya…ye 2 din tum dono ke bina bahut soona soona lag raha tha..

Daya (coughing ): shreya ke sath main bhi aaya hu…koi jara humari taraf bhi dekh lo…

And then everybody looked at him and smiled…

Dadi maa: are han…hum dekh rahe hain tujhe bhi…tujhe jalan kyun ho rahi hai shreya se…idhar aa…

Daya went and hugged dadi maa..

Dadi maa: mere bachhe wapas aa gaye…bas ghar me raunak aa gayi…

Pratima: tum dono thak gaye hoge…jao aram kar lo..

Purvi: are aise kaise aram kar lo…aap log bhool rahe hain shayad..aaj hume shoping ke liye jana hai…

Daya: shopping? Kiske liye…

Purvi: bhaiya meri shadi ke liye…aap aise kaise bhool sakte hain..aur aap chalenge hum sab ko leke…yaad rakhiye jab tak meri shadi nahi hogi…aapki bhi nahi hogi han…

Daya: are lekin main kyun jaun…ladies ke sath shopping jana..itna bada torcher kyun?

Pratima: theek hai mat jana tu..nakhrebaaj kahi ka…

Divya who was silently observing shreya came to her…

Divya: shreya…tu thak gayi hogi na..chal room me chalte hain…

And they both moved from there…here abhijeet dragged daya in a corner…

Abhijeet: oye baat kya hai..tune theek se propose kiya na shreya ko…

Daya: bhai maine use sab kuch bol diya…apna dil kholkar rakh diya uske samne..but shreya ne kuch bola hi nahi…

Abhijeet: are yaar..ladki hai wo…sharma rahi hogi…thoda intejar kar, jaroor bolegi..

Abhijeet: kuch nahi wo…case ke bare me kuch baate kar rahe the..

Daya: bhabhi cid officers araam nahi karte…aur dekho main to ekdum fresh lag rah hu hai ki nahi…

Tarika: whatever…

Here in shreya's room…

Divya: shreya kya baat hai, koi problem hai…?

Shreya imeediately hugged divya…and started sobbing..divya separated her from hug…

Divya: what happen shreya, tu ro kyun rahi hai, kya baat hai…

Shreya: divya…main bahut buri hu na…

Divya: what? Kya hua kya hai…dekh main tujhe dekhte hi samajh gayi thi ki kuch problem hai tujhe..ab jaldi bata kya baat hai…aisa kyun bol rahi hai tu?

Shreya: divya..kal daya ne mujhe propose kiya…

Divya (smiling): kya..really, to ye to khushi ki baat hai, tu ro kyun rahi hai stupid?

Shreya: divya…kal maine unki aankho me apne liye itna pyar dekha …, kal unhone apna dil kholkar mere samne rakh diya, wo mujhse bahut karte hain ….aur main?, divya mujhe lagta hai…main unhe dhokha de rahi hu…main unke layak nahi hu….wo ek aise insaan hain jisse jitna pyar kiya jaye, utna kam hai…wo deserve karte hain ki koi unse dil se pyar kare…wo deserve karte hain ek aisi ladki ko jiska dil unhi ke jaisa saaf ho…aur main wo ladki nahi hu divya…

Divya banged her head..

Divya: oh god shreya…ye kya bol rahi hai tu..senti kahi ki…aisa kuch nahi hai…aur tu unhe koi dhokh nahi de rahi hai…agar tu aisa siddharth ki wajah se keh rahi ahi to…tu us se mili hi kab…sirrf text messages ke through baat ki hai us se…har kisi ka past hota hai…bhool ja use…aur sirf aur sirf jeeju ke bare me soch…wo tujhse bahut pyar karte hain…aur bahut jald tujhe bhi unse pyar ho jayega..ab faltu ki baato ko apne dimag se nikaal de ok..now smile..

Shreya smiled a little..

Divya: good…ye hui na baat… aur ha mujhe photos dekhni hain…dikha na..

Shreya took out the envelope containing their pictures..and showed to divya…

Divya: oh my god shreya…its so beautiful…tum dono kitne pyare lag rahe ho sath me…so cute…chal neeche chalke sabko dikhate hain …

and she dragged shreya with her…because she knew that if shreya is left alone she will keep thinking bad things…they came in the hall…

Divya: aunti…tarika bhabhi…dekhiye to jara mere hath me kya hai…

Nikhil: kya hai?

Divya: nikhil…mere paas shreya aur jeeju ki pictures hain…

Purvi: oh woow…dikhao dikhao…

And divya showed them the pictures…

Tarika: this is so lovely…kitne cute lag rahe hain na dono…

Dadi maa: are bahu dekh to jara…kitni khoobsurat jodi lag rahi hai dono ki…kisi ki najar na lage…

Pratima: lagege kyun nahi..inki jodi seedhe aasman se jo bankar aayi hai…

And she kissed shreya's forehead…everybody was engrossed in seeing and admiring the beautiful pictures of daya and shreya…..shreya silently took one of the pictures in her hand in which they both were standing together….she kept staring at the picture…..while the voices were continuously falling into her ears…like "Ram milayi jodi", "Made for each other" "Do hanso ka joda" and all that…shreya was listening them and at the same time staring at the picture to see how much truth is their in those phrases…just then daya came out…purvi immediately went to him and caught his hand and dragged him with her in the hall…

Purvi: lo bhaiya bhi aa gaye…

and intensionally made him sit beside shreya…shreya did not look at him…

Tarika: ab tasveero ko chhodiye…jab ye do hanso ka joda khud humare samne hi baitha hai to..

Divya: jeeju hume bhi to bataiye aapki trip ke bare me...

purvi: han bhaiya pictures dekh ke to lagta hai ki….ekdum romantic wali trip thi..bataiye na…

daya : tu chup hogi tab bolunga na…and he started telling them about their trip…all were enjoying it…

dadi maa: chalo ye to bahut achhi baat hai…isi bahane tum dono ek sath ghoom bhi aaye..

pratima: daya..tu aaj duty pe nahi hai to hum chahte hain ki tu humare sath shopping karne chale…

daya immediateky stood up…

daya: maa maine pehle hi bola tha…mujhe nahi aana aap logo ke sath shopping…

pratima: chup kar tu…kaan pakad ke le chalungi…jyada nakhre kiye to…abhijeet aur tere dad kaam me busy hain…unke liye kapde tu select kar lena…aur waise bhi tum dono bhaiyo ki pasand to tumhi dono samajhte ho…hai ki nahi…

dadi maa: ha beta…teri eklauti behan ki shadi hai…roj roj thodi na hogi…

daya: oho dadi maa ab aap log emotionally blackmail mat karo..theek hai main chalta hu…

and they all went for shopping…

taniya: jayant, nikhil aur daya beta…aap log jake apne liye kapde select kar leejiye..hum ladies ke sath aayenge to pagal ho jayenge..

jayant: waah taniya..kabhi kabhi tum kitni achhi baate karti ho..chalo beta hum log chalte hain…

taniya gave him a look and everybody laughed at this…ladies moved to ladies section…

tarika: pehle humari dulhan ke liye select karte hain…maa…aap log jewellery select kar leejiye..hum lahange aur baki cheeje dekh lete hain…

pratima: han ye theek rahega..chalo taniya…

and they moved from there to jewellery section…

tarika: purvi, bata kaisa colour chahiye tujhe..

purvi: bhabhi mujhe na bas pink chahiye…

tarika: kya? But tujhe to pink bilkul pasand nahi hai na..

purvi: han bhabhi, but rajat ka kehna hai ki mujhpe pink sabse jyada suit karta hai..aur unhone kaha hai ki shadi ka joda pink hi hona chahiye…nahi to shadi cancel…

shreya and divya: ooooooo…to ye baat hai…

purvi: ab kya karu…aur sach kahu to ab mujhe bhi pink achha lagne laga hai…

divya: that's true love…yahi to hota hai pyar me …humari pasand aur napasand sab badal jati hai…

purvi: achha! Divya tumhe bahut knowledge hai pyar vyar ke bare me…

divya: tum bhi na purvi…

and they laughed…shreya also laughed with them but she was lost somewhere…

shreya(POV): kya sach me aisa hota hai…pyar insaan ki pasand napasand ko badal sakta hai…she came out of trance with tarika's voice…

tarika: shreya…dekho ye kaisa hai..

shreya: bahut pyara hai bhabhi…ye purvi pe bahut achhha lagega…

tarika: ok are divya tum aur shreya bhi apne liye dresses pasand kar lo…

divya: sure bhabbi I am so excited…shreya idhar aa…hum dono bhi dekh lete hain…and they started checking dresses but shreya was not liking any of them…

divya: shreya, mera to final ho gaya…ab tu bhi jaldi se koi select kar le na…

shreya: divya, mujhe kuch samajh me nahi aa raha…kaun sa lu…tu hi select kar de na mere liye bhi…

purvi: divya, shreya bhabhi aap logo ka ho gaya?

Divya: mera to ho gaya…but aapki shreya bhabhi ko kuch pasand hi nahi aa raha…

Tarika: lo bhai…shreya ab jab tum khud kuch pasand nahi kar paa rahi ho..aur humari choice bhi tumhe nahi pasand aa rahi tab to ek hi insaan hai..jiski choice tumhe pasand aayegi…

and she looked at purvi and divya and they all gave a mischievious smile to shreya…

Shreya: matlab , main kuch samjhi nahi bhabhi…

Divya: abhi samjhati hu…and she called someone on her phone…hello…jeeju, main divya bol rahi hu…jeehu kya aap please 2 minute ke liye yaha ladies section me aa sakte hain kya…wo kya hai na kisi ko aap ki help chahiye…

Shreya was shocked…

Shreya: divya..pagal ho gayi hai kya, daya ko bulane ki kya jarurat thi…unhe apni shopping bhi to karni hai na…

Tarika: apni shopping kare ya tumhari…ek hi baat hui na..

and they gave a hi-five to each other…

Shreya was helpless ..she nodded her head in no…and started seeing some dresses..just then daya and nikhil came there…

Divya: woow..jeeju aap aa gaye…idhar aaiye…

Daya: kya baat hai…abhi tak aap logo ki shopping khatam nahi hui…humari to kab ki ho gayi…

Tarika: ji humari bhi kab ki ho gayi..lekin aapki shtreya ji ko na koi dress pasand hi nahi aa rahi hai…isliye humne aapko bulaya unki help karne ke liye…

and tarika , purvi and divya giggled at them…daya and shreya looked at each other…

Daya: han han bilkul.

.and he moved near shreya…observed the dresses kept there and then picked a dark shade of orange…and forwarded it to shreya…

Daya: ye kaisa hai…

Shreya looked at that..and she was surprised on his choice…it was really beautiful…

Shreya (in a low voice): achha hai…

Divya: kya kaha tumne shreya…, achha hai…abhi jab maine wahi dress di to uski taraf dekha tak nahi…aur ab jeeju ne dikhaya to turant pasand aa gayi han..

Tarika: waah daya, maan gaye..kya baat hai…

Daya looked at her and gave her a proud smile raising his coller…meanwhile jayant, taniya nd pratima also came there…

Pratima: are tum logo ka ho gaya to chalen ab…main bahut thak gayi hu…

Taniya: seriously…bahut thak gaye hain hum…chalo ghar chalte hain…..

And they all returned home…then they started checking the dresses and other items…

purvi: maa aap ko pata hai main bahut khush hu, jaisa socha tha…bilkul waisa lehanga mil gaya… ye dekho…

tarika: aur maa ye dekhiye…ye sngeet ke liye aur ye haldi aur mehandi ke liye…

they all unpacked the dresses and started showing them to dadi maa…

shreya was feeling tired so she moved to the washroom which was in common use…there was some problem in the tap…and water was coming with a low speed…shreya rotated it and in doing this she applied a high pressure…and accidently broke the tap…now water was directly coming from the pipe…and falling on shreya..she screamed..and tried to stop the flow of water with her hands but it was of no use…

everybody rushed towards the washroom…and saw shreya struggling with the tapwater…but she was getting more and more wet…

tarika: oh God shreya…ye nal kharab tha…main aaj plumber ko bulane hi wali thi…par mere dimag se nikal gaya…

pratima: are koi pani ko rook…warna pure ghar me pani bhar jayega…

daya came ahead…and saw shreya struggling with the tap…he moved near the tap…and covered the mouth of the tap in orde to stop the flowing water…in doing this he touched shreya's hands…shreya felt something on his touch…water was still flowing…they both were getting wet…shreya looked at daya…who was looking at the tap and trying to fix the waterflow…they both were again so close to each other…shreya closed her eyes and she remembered their first kiss…there closeness…she came out of her trance with daya's voice…

daya: are aap log aise khade kyun hain…purvi…tarika bhabhi…jaldi se koi kapda laiye..ise tightly bandhan hoga…plumber ke aane tak…

tarika: main plumber ko call karti hu…

purvi went and returned with a strong cloth..and gave it to daya…now daya removed his hands which were placed on shreya's hands till now…he took the clothe and tied it on the tap tightly..now the flow of water was somewhat cotrolled…daya wiped his face..he was totally wet …everyone took a sigh…shreya was also wet as she started to move…she accidently slipped, and she was about to fall…but daya held her from her waist..

shreya: ouchhh!

Daya: shreya sambhal ke…

And they looked at each other and shared a cute eyelock..they would have remained like that…if divya had not interrupted…

Divya: shreya…tu jaanboojhkar to nahi giri na?

and shared a laughter with purvi…

Tarika: kya tum dono bhi na…

daya and shreya blushed ..daya left shreya …tarika extended her hand to shreya..

Tarika: aao shreya…sambhal ke aana…

And shreya came out of the washroom and moved from there…

Tarika went to daya and ruffled his wet hair and gave her a meaningful smile..daya blushed and smiled and he too moved from there…

Here in shreya's room…shreya changed her dress..and divya gave her a towel…shreya was rubbing her wet hair…and again thinking about daya…

Divya: wo kehte hain na…jo hota hai achhe ke liye hota hai…aaj tune tap na toda hota to …wo eyelock kaise dekhne ko miilta hume…

shreya threw the towel on her…

Shreya: tu chup kar…aur ye eyelock kya hota hai…

Divya: achha ji …eyelock kya hota hai..wo kya tha…ek dusre ki aankho me khoye huye..ghar ke sare log samne khade hain par koi hosh nahi…han…kuch samajh me aaya…han..

she started tickling her…shreya started laughing…

Shreya: stop it divya…please

Divya: …achanak se orange colour achha lagne laga…iske peeche kya kahani hai han?

Shreya: koi kahani nahi hai…

Divya: achha..koi kahani nahi hai han?

Shreya: divya..please…stop teasing me yaar!

And meanwhile shreya got a message on her cellphone that…she has received a message on her social media profile…shreya immediately looged in..and she was shocked to see a message from siddharth..

"Hiii sweetheart…kaisi ho…hope khush hi hogi…I am so sorry shreya, wo main thoda kaam me busy ho gaya tha..but mujhe mera waada yaad hai…jaisa ki tumne kaha tha ki tum mujhse milna chahti ho…to theek hai shreya…kal main "love birds coffee shop" me tumhara wait karunga…agar tum ab bhi mujhse milna chahti ho to aa jana…Love you..bye apna khayal rakhna.."

both shreya and divya were shocked , they looked at each other…

divya: nahi shreya, tu siddharth ko mana kar de…mujhe nahi lagta ki tujhe us se milna chahiye…

shreya did not reply her she was lost in her own thoughts

divya: shreya kya soch rahi hai?

Shreya: nahi divya, mujhe siddharth se milna hi hoga..

Divya: are you mad shreya, tu apni life ko aur complicate kyun kar rahi hai…tujhe siddharth ko bhulna hi hoga..

Shreya: main use bhulna chahti hu divya, isiliye us se milna chahti hu…agar main us se nahi mili to humesha usko lekar ek curiosity rahegi ki wo kaun hai..kaisa hai..lekin ek baar us se mil lene par sab kuch khatam karne me jyada asani hogi..

Divya: ye kaisa logic hai shreya…meri to kuch samajh me nahi aa raha…aur tu us se milne jayegi kaise? Ghar me shadi ki taiyariyan chal rahi hain, aise me bahar kaise jayegi tu..

Shreya: mujhe jana hoga divya…ek aakhiri baar sab se jhooth bolkar..main jaungi kaise bhi karke…

Divya: main bhi tere sath chalungi, manjoor.

Shreya : theek hai..

and she again got emersed in her thoughts…
