🤣 wildcat

Kalpana

Such a lovely song... wow! I forgot what the tune even was, I havent listened to it in years I think.

Yeah Satyen realizes his wife is not a teddy bear, he is a shrewd man, he read the room, he probably observed how his wife interacted with Anubha at Shrivastavs

He knows having her with him when he genuinely wants to enjoy the Mathurs, is not a good idea afterall

Its going to be very messy when the rishta happens

You cannot help empathize with Viveka

Just the polite manner in which Satyen offers the battery charger to Aakash shows what a gem of a person he is.. more so when put in contrast to his wife!

The relationship Aakash and Viveka share is precious ❤️

Again, the way Aakash is careful not to dump all the Parashars in the same lot is commendable.. such objectivity isn't that easy when instances of personal affront are involved!

He calls out Raanav for his arrogance just as he's mad at Abhishek for not being careful with his daughter or appreciates Satyen's down to earth nature!👏

I'm unable to figure out Satyen's motives. Is he hoping to lay the groundwork for the couple's future (knowing his wife's opinion)? Is he clued in to Raanav's interest? Or does he just want to interact more with a family/ people he likes? Pata nahi..

Satyen knows the family is not comfortable with Smrita. So he invited them when she is not around.

If smrita does end up being the mean mother in law, will Viveka straighten her out along with Raanav?

I doubt Abhishek is deep or thoughtful when it comes to females. He is a player, he likes her too for the same reasons Raanav loves her, her mind and her ability to have such engaging conversation

But he is definitely not serious about her... or only about her.

She is confused about what she feels for Abhishek now, since Raanav opened a box of feelings she didnt know she could feel.

She repeatedly goes back to those to ask herself "Arey wahan par mujhe aisa sab kyon feel nahi ho raha?"

Abhishek is so much like me, yet I dont feel that magic"

I understand that Abhishek may not be very serious about her and that he's not very thoughtful when it comes to females.... maybe be never had a chance to care for one, to put it in perspective for him?

But after learning of the night's incidents, his concerns seem very callous! Something strikes me when you talk of Viveka questioning herself..

When she was in trouble, she didn't once think of contacting him for help. The first people we turn to in need are those whom we trust..

She even wonders that she's safe until Raanav decides to assault her AND Raanav offers her a choice between going home with him or his driver..

On the other hand, Abhishek doesn't bother much about why she didn't give him a call if she was stranded mid way between his place and hers! I mean, if her cared for her, he should want to be the one she counts on, nahi?

My idea..

I'm imagining Viveka's cool composure breaking the news to Smrita's horrified disgust! The thought of Smrita's agitation at her insults bouncing off Viveka's good humor tickles me to no end! 😆

About Dadi, I genuinely feel she doesn't bear the girls or even Anubha any ill will.. she's just very sure that her way of life is the right one, the best one and should be the only one! She seemed just as agitated about the grandson's marriage as she is for the girls. Her only drawback is the refusal to see another's POV.

Well, as long as the girls have their parents support and the couple has their kids support, all other loudspeakers can keep on blaring!

Best choice

“I try not to be judgmental about it” Satyen linked his fingers and tapped his thumb

Mathurs sat in the famous courtyard, Anubha had been before but not Akash to say he was awestruck would be an understatement

“Jee” Akash nodded

“I am not going to order Inder not to date, it’s the 21st century if he likes your daughter and you have no problem with it then so be it”

“Arey hamari kaha sunte hain bache”

“Who baat aapki 100/100

“Rakshit ki sagai ho chuki hai, winter mein hai shaadi

“Arey wah congratulations

“Haan.. he let his mother pick… still.. I mean the girl is amazing”

“Congrats” Anubha smiled joyfully

“Aapme mein ek maturity aur calmness dekhta hoon… jo bhar bharkar aapki Viveka mein hai”

“Viveka is not callm” Anubha laughed

“I mean… she has a positive outlook… I have never seen her be negative… we are unable to offer half the things I was hoping Power Engineers would, when she… I should say “I” approached to sponsor her NGO”

“uh ho” Akash’s face registered the disappointment

“She keeps going Akashji… unfettered… she just is doing more home work to sign up 3 more large corporations…. Kal Friday ko India Habitat Center mein jo pitch tha unka… it was very good”

“she is smart and engaging”

“I agree Mrs Mathur” “I enjoy talking to her” Satyen raised his glass of wine

“You have fed us so much already I doubt I can eat lunch”

“I enjoy talking to her AND I enjoy talking to my elusive son” Raanav and Rakshit walked in after a brief two day trip to Yavatmal

“Hello” they nodded politely

Anubha gave Raanav a almost full smile

Rakshit was not as tall, he was he was almost like Inder, well built and a bit beefy

“Hello” He reached politely for Akash’s hand

“Aap nahi jaante, shaayad, but Mr Kamal Shrivastav ke BIL hain ye” Satyen explained

The men excused themselves to go freshen up

“Smrita does not want to be a grandma but I DO…. A million times over”

Anubha felt he was her soulmate, she wanted it bad too

But for her, there was no pot of grandchild gold

Oldest wanted a PhD more than kids

Younger one… umm.. she wanted s—more than kids

“I just let them be I guess” Anubha muttered even tho he never asked her

“Jaanta hoon… career is supremely important” he smiled not shaming her at all

“Yeh nikal rahin hain raat ko Berlin 3 hafton ke liye”

“Kidhar?”

She explained where and what she would do etc

They spent 30 minutes discussing since Ingersoll was also a Engg company

The men stepped out after a shower and change of clothes

Anubha could not help look at Raanav

There was no way Viveka would even care for him

Why do the wealthy almost always have the looks to boot?

“Sonu beta khaana lag gaya?” he asked the helped who showed up to clear appy plates

“Jee sir”

“chaliye jee khaana khaayen”

I really cant

“I will take it to mean that you don’t love my sons” satyen laughed

“I like your kids” Anubha turned red in shame

They were served a king’s feast

“Aur? Number diye hue 3? Din ho gaye? Kee koi argument?” Satyen poked Raanav

He laughed out loud

A deep rumbling sound

He looked so good Akash thought

“Not really”

“Now is good as any time… I can give you a topic” Satyen said

“No thanks”

“Kya baat ho rahi hai?” Anubha quizzed

“Well… your daughter and my son frequently butt heads on various topics”

“Oh yess” Anubha lowered her gaze self consciously

“Don’t be” Satyen laughed

“She is not the one to give up a good debate”

“What she a debater in school?

“I don’t think they even had a club for it” Anu looked at Akash… “ALL self taught”

“Nice” Raanav smiled

“So? Have you even said hi?”

“No I haven’t” he smiled not falling for the bait

“Ive done my job… now you have to light the phone on fire” he shrugged and looked at the Mathurs mischievously

“I don’t think I eat so much even at a wedding” Anubha gently pushed her plate forward

“Arey nahi” Satyen waved at the help

“Meetha lao beta”

“Absolutely not”

The men talked about banking regulations and Satyen cleverly steered the convo to drawbacks of working for a large multi national company, but bringing in his challenges in working with Caterpillar

Anubha suddenly felt engaged all over again

He appeared to be genuine concerned about Akash’a parents

Raanav mentioned having met Dadi

Anubha cringed

Akash came out with it

“Hamari Ma ekdum tez hain… who apni potiyon se pyaar kartin hai, itna ki koi meri daughters se mile to samjhenge “Arey Dadi ne itne taareef ke pul baandhe… she is a queen of exaggeration

“Must get it from my wife” “she does that with her sons” Satyen laughed wickedly

Raanav’s lips twitched

“Are you sure Raanav is not recording this convo” Rakshit mumbled

“No I am not”

“I am happy we have a good friendship Mrs Mathur… I hope you will give us another chance” he folded his hands

Anubha turned bright red

“she is very self confident bhaisaab some times people mistake that for”

“Arey nahi nahi… I am sorry I did not mean to imply that… I meant… she has very high standards just like her daughter”

Anubha began to laugh

“Aapko hamari baat par hasi to aayi”

“I am sorry… I need to be open minded about strangers”

“We all need to be” Satyen looked away wistfully channeling Smrita

Satyen texted quickly

“we have to go”

“sonu beta who le aa”

Sonu brought a large box…

“Arey itna bada charger?” Akash was confused” Just a emergency kit for the car”

“We have everything el” Akash began to protest

“This is the best choice akashji, we have had this brand for 20? Years now?” he looked at his boys

They nodded amused

“Mr & Mrs Mathur… I am in love with your daughter would you be willing if I want to marry her?” Raanav spoke, clearly, boldly and with a smile❤️👏☺️

Satyen leaned back and smiled, his eyes sparkling

Anubha crashed back on to the chair

Akash froze in shock holding the battery charger pack, as it slipped out of his hand and landed on the marble floor

That was a super proposal !!!

Specially with A&A secretly hoping their daughter would find ‘someone’ like Raanav....

So Satyen was in the know of how things were and played the ultimate card of marriage brokering!
Just one thing seems to not be in place.....all this being done in the absence of ‘ mother dear ‘ , specially when it was more than obvious that she is extremely vocal on her opinion of the Mathur....

Rocky rocky road ahead !!!

WHAT...WHAT....WHAT..WHAT..WHAT..EHAT...WHAT.........

WHAT JUST HAPPENED??????????

U NEED TO GIVE US ANOTHER UPDATE...A LONGISH ONE..

PLEASEEEEEE
