The girls were waiting for Siya as she was in washroom.
SHRUTI- dii..
Shruti calls for Manvi and Urmila.
SHRUTI- kya lagta hai.?
Asked Shruti smiling nervously. Urmila nodded her head in an unknown expression while Manvi indicates her to be quiet.
MANVI- sshhuu.. wait for some time..
Their conversation interrupts when Siya opens the door of the washroom. The girls moves towards her excitedly looking at her with a hope.
URMILA- dii..??
Siya looks at the girls and sighed heavily.
SIYA- negative..
Siya nods her head in disbelief while the girls looks disappointed.
SHRUTI- that means... No good news for now..??
Shruti looks sad and moves towards the bed to sit. Siya smile in disbelief.
SIYA- mene to pehele hi kaha tha. That there is nothing like that.. but you three.. tum tino ne apni hi koi story build up kar li..
Said Siya moving towards Shruti to sit beside her. Urmila and Manvi looks at each other and then at Siya.
MANVI- sorry dii.. but.. aapki good news ke bare me sochkar we became crazy like anything..
Manvi apologized moving towards Siya.
URMILA- ha dii.. you know what, humne to babies ke names bhi soch rakhe the..
Siya's eyes goes wide hearing her. She looks at the girls who were smiling disappointedly.
SIYA- mad you all are.. kuch confirm bhi nahi tha and you all already thought about the names.?
The girls bows down and Siya nods in disbelief.
SIYA- mujhe to sochkar hasi arahi hai.. stupids..
Siya started laughing at them and the girls felt more embarassed. Urmila sits beside siya.
URMILA- dii.. bas na ab.. samajh agaya that.. we were unnecessarily thinking this. What's that called..? "Rai ka pahad banana." That thing...we were doing..
Said Urmila and Siya nods in agreement.
MANVI- but dii.. hamari soch to wrong nahi thi na..
Said Manvi and Siya looks confused.
SIYA- matlab.?
MANVI- matlab ki.. aap dekhiye na. Baby ke bare me sochkar sab kitna khush hogaye.. not only three of us but Bharat Lakshman and Shatrughan too..
Said Manvi and Siya looks shocked.
SIYA- what.? You girls told them too.?
Siya gets up from her place almost yelling.
SHRUTI- sshhuu...
Shruti makes her sit back at her place by pulling her.
SHRUTI- we didn't tell.. un logo ne hamari bate sun li thi..
Said Shruti while siya still looks shock and angry.
URMILA- but didi.. un sab ne bhi aise hi hamara mazak udaya. Jab unhe pata chala ki.. the news is not confirmed.
Accepted Urmila bowing down while Siya nods her head in disbelief.
SIYA- acha kiya.. that's like my devars..
MANVI- wo jo bhi ho dii.. 5 minutes ke liye hi kyu na sahi, but they were happy with your pregnancy..
Said Manvi smiling which makes Siya think about her words.
SIYA- what you want to say Manvi..?
URMILA- Manvi dii kehna chahti hai.. ki.. ab aapke shadi ko one year complete hone wala he. To... I mean.. you understand right...?
Urmila tried to say but Siya didn't reacted to her words. She very well know what these girls wanted to say.
SIYA- no.. I didn't understand.. please clarify..
Said Siya folding her arms.
SHRUTI- uffo dii.. ye dono kehna chahti hai that you and jiju should start thinking about the baby now..
Said Shruti excitedly making Manvi and Urmila shock.
SIYA- wah.. baki chize to samajhne me aapko bohot time lagta hai Shruti madam.. this you easily understood..?
Said Siya almost in a taunt while Shruti bows down smiling.
URMILA- but she is right na didi..
Siya turns towards urmila who was smiling at her too.
MANVI- ha dii.. baby ke bare me sochne me harz hi kya hai..
Manvi kneeled down to her and Siya shook her head.
SIYA- there is no problem my dear sisters.. but.. I and Ram have not discussed about the baby yet..
Said Siya while the girls looks at each other and then again at Siya.
URMILA- to ab discuss karna start kariye na dii..
Siya gave a look at her.
URMILA- please don't think the other way. We are not forcing our thinking to you..
MANVI- aur dii.. hume pata hai aapko babies kitne pasand hai. To aap to already ready hongi iske liye right.?
Said Manvi while Siya thinks about what they were trying to say.
SIYA- but I don't know about Ram..
Siya gets up from her place and the girls moves towards her.
SHRUTI- to usme konsi badi bat hai.? Aap dono kitne mature hai..you both can take this decision together with maturity..
Said Shruti smiling and the other two nods in agreement.
URMILA- dii sach kahu to.. ye baby ki bate sunke ab sachme dil kar raha hai .. ki hamare ghar me bhi ek chotu sa baby ajaye..
SIYA- then you take the chance yourself.
Urmila giggles at her while Siya nods smiling.
MANVI- wo to hoga hi dii. But.. how can we think before our big brother and bhabhi.?
Manvi winks at her making Siya embarrassed.
URMILA- but.. seriously dii. Aap hum tino ko wo typical aunties mat samjhiye.. jo baby ka pressure build up kar rahi hai..
Said Urmila apologising while siya shook her head.
MANVI- ha dii. All we want to say is..that.. you can think about it.. and why not.?
Siya nods in agreement. While the girls smile at her.
SIYA- ab chale.? Let's prepare for the lunch.? And then we have con-call with clients..
The girls nods at her in agreement. Siya smile thinking about the new topic in their life- baby..!!
*****
Ram was in his cabin with the boys as they were heading to have their lunch. He was in a deep thought and was not having much attention to their talks.
LAKSHMAN- wow.. palak paneer smells best when choti maa prepares it...
Said Lakshman opening the lid of the tiffin.
SHATRUGHAN- bohot zor se bhuk lagi hai bhaiya. Ab jo bhi khana hai, I just want to eat..
Said Shatrughan coming towards them, wiping his hands with the hand towel.
BHARAT- bhaiya.. please come.
Bharat calls for Ram as he was sitting on his chair. The boys looks at Ram as he didn't replied them back.
LAKSHMAN- bhaiya..
Lakshman yells for him and his concentration broke.
RAM- huh.?
LAKSHMAN- khana..
Ram nods in yes and moves towards them. The boys looks at each other getting confused about what has happened to Ram.
SHATRUGHAN- bhaiya.! Are you fine.?
Ram smile at him nodding his head.
BHARAT- to aap itne pareshan kyu lag rahe hai.? Kuch hua hai kya.?
Asked Bharat getting worried. Ram looks at three of them and smile.
RAM- there is nothing like that. I was just getting worried about Siya..
The boys looks at each other and then at Ram as he expressed his fear.
LAKSHMAN- about what bhaiya.?
RAM- Siya's health.. she is not well.. to bas soch raha tha usi ke bare me..
Said Ram wiping his hand with the towel and keeping it back to the table.
BHARAT- bhaiya don't worry. Bhabhi is fine. Meri thode der pehele hi Manvi se bat hui hai. She said that bhabhi is feeling better now..
Disclosed Bharat and Ram nods in agreement at him
RAM- I know. I too had called siya. But wo kehti hai wo theek hai aur hoti bimar hai..
Ram nods in disbelief at Siya's habit while the boys smile looking at his care for their bhabhi.
SHATRUGHAN- it is just a normal flu bhaiya. Bhabhi ka to test bhi negative aya hai..
Ram stops in between and looks at him in confusion.
RAM- test negative..? Matlab..?
Ram asked the three of them while they look at each other.
LAKSHMAN- oh.. aapko bataya nahi kya bhabhi ne.? We thought you know..
Said lakshman making Ram more confused.
RAM- about what ?
BHARAT- kuch nahi bhaiya.. ye ladkiya na..!! Kuch bhi sochti rehti hai..
Bharat nods in disbelief complaining about the girls.
BHARAT- bhabhi ki tabyet kharab thi to inko laga ki... Might be.. bhabhi is... Expecting...
Said Bharat smiling making Ram surprised.
RAM- what...??
Ram exclaimed smiling unknowingly.
LAKSHMAN- but... Aisa kuch nahi hai.. negative result aya hai..
Said lakshman immediately making Ram's smile to lessen.
RAM- aur tum sabko kaise pata hai ye.?
SHATRUGHAN- we heard them talk..
Disclosed Shatrughan while Ram pouts at them.
RAM- aur kis kisko pata hai iske bare me.?
Asked Ram folding his hands.
LAKSHMAN- bas hum teen and wo teen.. that's it bhaiya..
RAM- and no one cared to tell this to me. ?
Asked Ram getting a little disappointed.
BHARAT- bhaiya.. how can we tell you.? I mean humne to pehele hi un tino ke predictions ko rok diya tha. And we thought bhabhi would discuss it with you..
Said Bharat while Ram thinks about Siya nodding his head.
LAKSHMAN- waise bhaiya.. if this news were true, then... I mean.. you would be happy right ?
Asked lakshman noting Ram's expressions.
RAM- lakshman..??
Ram lightly shouts at him and then hides his own smile.
SHATRUGHAN- dekha..?? Khush hote na aap..? That means we can get this news anytime soon..
Shatrughan giggles at him and Ram hits him lightly.
RAM- stop teasing me. I'm your big brother..
The boys nods at him still giggling at his reaction.
RAM- chup chap khana khao sab..
Ram scolds them further and everyone follows him. He thinks about Siya and then smile unknowingly...
*****
In the garden area, the girls were busy with their office work. Siya and Manvi were discussing something in the laptop while Urmila was busy in her file. Shruti was sitting beside her, writing something down. Suddenly her cellphone rang.
SHRUTI- taiji ka hai..
Exclaimed Shruti and the girls looked at her. She answered the call keeping it on speaker.
SHRUTI- hii taiji..
SUNAINA- jab betiyo ka call na aye iska matlab hota hai that they are very happy in their sasural and have forgotten their own house..
Said Sunaina complaining while Chandra laughs who was sitting beside her.
URMILA- kya maa aap bhi.. konsa TV serial dekh rahi hai aap.?
Joked Urmila and the girls laughs at her.
SIYA- maa.. don't mind.. ye sab to aise hi hai.. tell us how are you all.?
SUNAINA- we are fine. You all tell us.. how is everything there.? Bali se ane ke bad ache se bat hi nahi ho payi..
Asked Sunaina while the girls smile looking at each other.
MANVI- we all are doing well taiji. Bali se ane ke bad time hi nahi mila aram se bethne ka..
Said Manvi in a pout.
URMILA- yes maa. Sab log office ke kam me busy hogaye. And Siya dii is also not well..
Siya hits urmila's hand as she told Sunaina about her health. Urmila bite her tongue apologizing.
URMILA- sorry..
Urmila whispered while Siya nods in disbelief.
SUNAINA- Siya is not well.? What happened to her..?
Asked Sunaina getting tensed. Siya takes the phone from Shruti and talked herself.
SIYA- maa. I'm fine..
SUNAINA- don't lie. Ye Urmila kya keh rahi hai..?
Siya gave a look at Urmila and then continue talking.
SIYA- I was feeling little dizzy. But that was till yesterday. I'm very much fine today maa..
Said Siya while Sunaina gave a worried look at Chandra.
CHANDRA- siya.. me bol rahi hu..
SIYA- ya.. hii chachi..
Siya smile hearing Chandra.
CHANDRA- you know your maa right. ? She get tensed easily.
Said Chandra nodding at Sunaina.
SIYA- I know chachi. I'm really fine.. may be it was because of exertion.
Said Siya and Chandra smile thinking something.
CHANDRA- exertion.. or else...?? There is a good news...?
Siya looks surprised by Chandra while the girls giggle looking at her. Sunaina's expression turned from worried to a little happy.
SIYA- no chachi.. there is nothing like that...
Chandra sighed hearing that there is nothing like a pregnancy news from Siya. Sunaina takes the phone from chandra.
SUNAINA- then when are you planning for that.?
Siya again looks surprised by Sunaina while the girls burst into laughter.
SIYA- maa.?
SUNAINA- sorry for being so direct.. but siya.. don't you think that now you should start planning for this thing.?
Said Sunaina while Siya nods in disbelief.
SIYA- I don't know what had happened to you people. Yaha ye charo bhi mujhe yahi keh rahi thi. Aur aap bhi..
SUNAINA- ya then what's the problem .?
Sunaina interrupts in between while Siya don't know what to say.
SUNAINA- dekho siya.. I'm not forcing you for anything. But as a mother it's my responsibility to tell you regarding this.
Siya smile lightly and bows down understanding her words.
SUNAINA- Ram is very understanding and mature. And I think you should have a talk with him. Feel free to discuss these things with your husband. Otherwise your saas will talk with you regarding this soon..
Siya gets little shocked hearing this.
SIYA- kya matlab.? Did maa said anything to you.?
SUNAINA- not directly.. but... Tum log jab Bali gaye the tab hamari bat hui thi. And Kranti bhabhi is quite excited about her grandchildren. She has already started planning things for them.
The girls became happy hearing Sunaina and looks at Siya. While siya took a deep breath and smile.
SUNAINA- Siya.. I'm not asking you to plan this thing immediately. But atleast you both can have a talk. Right.? Bat karne me kya burayi hai.?
Siya nods in yes hearing her mother's words. Yes she loves kids for sure. But then discussing these things with Ram was something different for her.
SIYA- ok maa.. I will think about this. But for now got to go..
SUNAINA- ok beta. Take care you all..
Sunaina disconnect the call and Siya looks at the girls.
SHRUTI- dii. We swear we didn't discuss anything about this with maa and taiji.
Said Shruti nodding her head while Siya smile at her.
SIYA- I know.. itna bharosa to hai mujhe.
Said Siya mockingly and the girls laughs.
MANVI- lagta hai.. ab hamare ghar me yahi topic har taraf rahega.. Baby..
Said Manvi making her hands in air while Siya nods in disbelief...
