Soumya calls Rudra as soon as her call with Rohan got cut. Rudra attends the call.

Rudra - "Haan Soumya. What happened? Did you talk to Rohan bhaiyya?"

Soumya - "Did you notice something? On that day... Ayaan was coming out of the park when we both were entering the park. It could be possible that Ayaan could have done something to bhaiyya."

Rudra - "But it's just an assumption, right? He doesn't have any direct motto to do anything as such."

Soumya - "Ayaan is Vikas's brother. Vikas is Rohan bhaiyya's competitor. If Rohan bhaiyya couldn't win against Vikas, the gain is for Vikas, right?"

Rudra - "I feel like you're right but still..."

Soumya - "I understand that you don't want to come to a conclusion soon. That's fine."

Rudra - "Glad you got it. First we brothers need to talk. Like, why is he suddenly like that?"

Soumya - "You're right."

Rudra - "Okay Soumya, I'll call you later. There are some works pending."

Soumya - "Yeah you can go. Will meet you at mehendi ceremony this evening?"

Rudra - "Didn't you doubt if you're here for research or vacation?"

Soumya laughed.

Soumya - "Seriously, I even have the question. Out of 18 days, 5 days are blocked are engagement, sangeet, mehendi, wedding and reception. At the same time, we have to overwork in the rest of the 13 days."

Rudra - "That's hectic."

Soumya - "True though. Bye."

Rudra - "Bye."

Das house

Nandini opens the knocking door. Anjali is standing at the door. 

Nandini hugged Anjali and let her come inside.

Anjali - "There is something important I need to talk to you."

Nandini - "Yeah fine. Sit at the sofa. Let me bring some snacks."

Nandini made Anjali sit on the sofa and she brought some fresh juice for her.

Nandini - "Drink it, Anjali."

Anjali drinks the juice.

Anjali - "I need to talk to you something important."

Nandini looks on.

Anjali - "I am in a relationship with a guy."

Nandini looks at Anjali in shock.

Anjali - "I know it is difficult for your to accept this fact. But it has been two and half years since we were in a relationship."

Nandini - "Do you feel that he'd keep you happy forever?"

Anjali nodded with a surety.

Nandini - "That's good. Now-a-days, children take their own decisions without talking to their parents. We can't blame the children too. Time has changed and people have evolved. But old generation remains the same."

Anjali - "Mom... please. It's not like that. We were not in terms that time because...."

Nandini - "Because..."

Anjali stammered.

Anjali - "Because I changed my religion along with my dad."

Nandini - "So you think that I was against your religious conversion, do you?"

Anjali didn't speak anything.

Nandini - "Its actually no. I don't have any problem with your conversion."

Anjali looks on.

Nandini - "What happened?"

Anjali - "I thought you were upset because of that. Then, why were you upset, mom?"

Nandini - "Because you never felt like asking my opinion before doing anything. It was such an important thing and you forgot your mother."

Anjali - "It's not like that, mom."

Nandini - "Then what, Anjali?"

Anjali - "I thought you would protest."

Nandini - "Did you recieve the letter I sent you when you came here for your father's funeral?"

Anjali - "Yeah."

Nandini - "In that letter, I clearly mentioned that I have no importance in your life. And that's the straight meaning. I didn't write it because of religious conversion or so. Have you ever written a letter for me when you were in Canada? No, right? Because you thought that your mother holds ego and grudges."

Anjali - "No mom, it's not like that."

Nandini - "You might be thinking why I didn't write a letter to you. Because no one over here knows how letter services to abroad works. I tried my best to send letters but none of them reached you and returned back."

Anjali hugged Nandini. Nandini and Anjali cries.

Anjali - "I'm sorry, mom. If I had a proper communication with you, this wouldn't have happened, mom."

Nandini - "It's not entirely your mistake too. Even I did mistakes. I should have come to you for consoling you on that day."

Anjali breaks the hug and wipes Nandini's tears. Nandini wipes Anjali's tears.

Nandini - "But still... I know that your decisions are right. I trust your intuition. That's why I don't oppose your decisions logically."

Anjali smiled.

Anjali - "You're actually right, mom. I'm telling it because he is not only caring me but also Rudra and you. He had helped Rudra in getting a job in a Event Management company such that he is earning a good amount of money. Also he helped me to talk to you to resolve our differences.

Nandini is in awe.

Nandini - "Now tell me. Who is that guy?"

Anjali - "He is here, mom. Shall I call him inside?"

Anjali asked her shyly. Nandini is surprised.

Nandini - "Yeah."

Anjali dialed his number and asked him to come inside. Rajveer knocks the door and Anjali recieved him inside.

Rajveer greeted Nandini with folded hands and takes blessings from her. Nandini blessed Rajveer. 

Rajveer - "Hi aunty, I'm Rajveer Sen. I'm that blessed guy whom your daughter loves."

Anjali shied away. Nandini smiled.

Nandini - "You're a businessman, right? I have seen you in newspaper and magazines."

Rajveer - "Yes, aunty. I am businessman and I was brought up in Canada. Anjali and I met in a party that was organized by our friends. I fall in love with her in first sight itself. We befriended each other and soon our relationship progressed such that we cannot live without each other. Though I fall in love first, she proposed me on my birthday. And see, now I am in front of you."

Nandini smiled.

Rajveer - "I lost my parents long back in an accident. I have a very small set of relatives and they are in Canada. These are about me. Now, I request you to let your daughter marry me and accept me as your son-in-law."

Nandini - "Honestly, this generation people are very fast in everything. But we cannot be as fast as you, people. I have to discuss this with my family. And then only we can proceed for engagement."

Rajveer - "Engagement? So it is a yes."

Nandini - "It will be a yes. Who will reject such a good-hearted son-in-law? And get ready to call me as maa instead of aunty, Rajveer."

Rajveer, Anjali and Nandini laughed.

Basu Mansion

Vikas is working out in the home gym. He is lifting heavy weights. Ayaan comes there and accompanies him.

He started running in the treadmill.

Ayaan - "How is your training for the upcoming National Athletics competition?"

Vikas - "Yes, it is going good."

Vikas replied grumpily.

Ayaan - "Can't you tell that with a smile?"

Vikas - "How does it make a difference?"

Ayaan - "It is useless talking to you."

Vikas - "Then just get lost. I didn't plead you to talk."

Ayaan - "You're sick, Vikas. You're just overconfident. Don't forget that we are behind your success."

Vikas throws the dumbbells and comes to Ayaan and stopped the treadmill.

Vikas - "I am not overconfident. You and your dad are underestimating my talent."

Ayaan laughed.

Ayaan - "Only when you loose to someone, you'd understand that you're use for nothing."

VIkas - "Has that ever happened? Has the people you put down ever defeated me? You sick trash!"

Vikas strangualted Ayaan's neck and held him in air.

Ayaan shouts. The servants and Naveen came and calmed Vikas down.

Naveen slapped Vikas.

Naveen - "Is this how you behave with your elder brother?"

Vikas - "It's better if you just shut up. Else I forget the fact that you gave birth to me."

Saying this, Vikas leaves. Ayaan and Naveen fumes in anger.

Naveen - "If he didn't stop being like this, I also should forget the fact that I gave birth to him."

Ayaan - "We cannot do anything. He is the brand ambassador of our products. Until we get someone better than him, we couldn't do anything against him."

Mukherjee's house

Shraddha have a video-call conversation with Soumya. Soumya is flaunting the dresses that she is wearing.

Soumya - "How is this saree, pishimaa?"

Shraddha - "It's very nice. When did you start wearing sarees? And in fact, who taught you wear this?"

Soumya - "Obviously my colleagues helped me."

Shraddha - "That's good."

Soumya - "Pishimaa, do you know onething?"

Shraddha - "What?"

Soumya - "Rudra had proposed me."

Shraddha - "Are you serious?"

Soumya - "Yes pishimaa. I too accepted his proposal. It happed just a few days back. I'm so happy."

Shraddha - "You're loving him?"

Soumya - "Yeah since a very long time. But he had fallen for me quite a few days back."

Shraddha - "That's nice to hear. So you were crying for him on that college's last day."

Soumya - "How did you find?"

Shraddha - "What do you think about your pishimaa, Soumya? Your friends were gossiping about Rudra and Romi's relationship as he proposed her on that day. I doubted if you were after Rudra. But I brushed away those thoughts as I felt you were more of friends."

Soumya - "But no. I was in love with Rudra. You know what, that headache Ayaan was pestering me for marriage and he even called me recently. Rudra talked to him in a way such that he deserve it."

Shraddha - "Hope Ayaan doesn't disturb you anymore. Even I don't like that guy. He is very money-minded."

Soumya - "Yeah. Let's not talk about him."

Shraddha - "True though. Let your mom speak to you."

Shraddha goes to Janvi's room and sits with her.

Janvi - "Pishimaa romance is over, Soumya."

Soumya and Shraddha laughed. 

Soumya - "Mom, I can romance only with you."

Janvi - "You cheesy girl."

Shraddha and Janvi laughed. Soumya pouted.

Soumya - "Mom, I have worn a South-Indian saree. Please tell me how is it."

Soumya moves the camera from top to bottom to show the saree.

Janvi - "I'm spellbound, Soumya. You certainly have my genes in you."

Soumya - "Yeah mom. Tomorrow I will remove the genes and lock it in cupboard and put father's genes in my body."

Janvi - "You're just impossible, Soumya. Wish if you get a talkative husband such that you lose to him at every argument."

Soumya - "I'm fulfilling your wish, Ms.Beautiful."

Janvi - "Dramaqueen. Anyways, for this outfit, let your hair be plaited. It will enhance your look. Otherwise you're perfect."

Soumya - "Yeah sure, mom. I'll plait my hair."

Janvi - "Rock the wedding, Soumya."

Soumya - "Certainly. Also, I have a surprise for you."

Janvi - "What surprise?"

Soumya - "Keep guessing. I'll tell you only by night."

Janvi - "You nautankii kahinki!"

Soumya - "Bye maa... Bye pishimaa..."

Next day

Playground

Rohan is running in the ground as a part of his practice. He is practicing passionately. As he is running, he saw Vikas in the ground looking at him. He runs to him.

Vikas - "Hope the practice is going well, Rohan."

Rohan - "Yes, it is going well. I'm surprised to see you here."

Vikas - "Yes. I just came here to ask if there is any improvement in your side of investigation."

Rohan - "Not much, but Soumya and Rudra noticed that Ayaan was coming out of the park at that time when I was inside unconscious."

Vikas - "That's a great improvement. What's your next move? Police?"

Rohan - "Will that work?"

Vikas - "I don't know."

Rohan - "It's quite difficult to make our first move."

Ayaan is looking at them from distance.

To be continued...
