Amma says, dont says such things (Nazar mat lagao mori poti ko)....She says, in fact Vishaka lost weight going to Mumbai....Now that she is here, she will be healthy again......
This puja was done for her only....And she says, any ways, this puja was never for me....Vivek says, you are forgetting that when we were newly wed and you were the new bride, this brishpati puja was kept for you too, but then this puja, clothes and jewellery of PB were very down market for you..............Mrin is shocked.....Vivek continues, look what we got not doing the puja............Vivek is in tears, while Mrin is upset....and walks to him and says, are you saying, that we have no kid because I did not sit for the puja....But let me tell you, why we dont have kids......this happened because, just few days after wedding, you met with accident and you had to become dependent on the wheel chair (she is quite upset, visibly shaken and she is lashing out at Vivek, almost shaking him, while Vivek looks down and is quite upset)...........
It is because of you, that I never got any respect in the house, the respect that this Radhika is getting today............Vivek says, Respect is not given like alms, it has to be earned (Izzat beek mein nahin milthi, izzat kaami jaathi hain Mrin..........so, true....Jo Samman Radhika ko is ghar mein mil raha, voh uska haq hain....yehi farq hain tum dono mein, voh is halat mein nahin thi, ki voh puja mein bet sake, per voh phir puja mein aayi...per tum achi rethi huyi bhi puja nahin ki.....) i.e. the respect that Radhika commands today in the house, is because she deserves it, that is the difference between both of you....She sat in the puja even though she was sick....while though you were fine, you insulted the puja............Now very soon, they will give waaris to the family, and no one can come between their happiness...........Mrin looks so unhappy...........In a way, Vivek's words are like rubbing salt on the wound............She will def try to pounce on Radhika...................
Radhika is in front of Radha Krishna idol, Dev walks in there....Dev prays to God and then turns towards Radhika and says what are you doing?
She says, I am doing morning prayers, I have lit the deeya, and offered jal to Tulsiji....only aarti remains....
Dev says, have I not told you not to do anything till you are completely better.....Radhika replies, I am much better now and now with your prayers
I feel much better now....Dev says, all that is fine, but till you get compelely better, you will not do any work.....Come let me take you to your room....Radhika says, please don't do that....
I want to do all the duties, I want to live up to everyone's expectation...........Dev says everyone in the house, everyone knows you are sick and presently they dont have any expectation from you....
Just then Devki walks in with milk...but he refuses the milk....Devki replies, why have you stopped drinking milk in the morning completely? Shastriji replies, after Radhika's bidaai, my life has changed, why talk about the routine.....Devki replies, so what, betiya is coming for pagphere.....This Amma's brain has already started to work....Shastriji smiles.....while Amma thinks when Rads comes for Pagphere, then she can get Vishaka home....it was this same Radhika which convinced him during wedding to let Vishaka stay, so even this time it will Radhika again who will be able to convince him to let Vishaka stay at home....She says, if you want to go to get her, go today itself, else then from tomorrow Krishna Paksh will start then you cannot go for fornight (Krishna paksh and Sukhla paksh are two week each, I will post on this later, if anyone is interested)....Shastriji is quite happy and says, whatever you are saying is quite right, I did not think about this...and he gets to get ready.,....Scene again in PB, where Radhika is offering prayers, and drawing Swastik with Kumkum and is doing puja of the Chulha ( ritual of rasoi puja, one offers prayer to the stove on which you cook).....Vaishali is pensive while Deepika and dadi are happy....Mrin taunts saying, what a pleasant surprise?? How come Dev is not here already looking for his Radhika Rani....
Does he know that his wife is working today....Radhika is silent...Vaishali looks little distrubed....but no one replies....Dadi tells Rads, Choti bahu, please boil the shagun milk and meanwhile I will send Urmi and Chandri for help.....Mrin taunts, when she is going to take help of maids, then why this drama of first rasoi...
..Dadi replies, because the circumstances are different, hence we need to help her....Mrin replies back saying...but this is the rasam of first rasoi...Radhika replies, Didi is right Dadima, I will do it all myself....Just then Dev walks in saying, there will not be any first rasoi here....Mrin is smiling....while everyone is surprised....Radhika walks to him and Dev says, did I not tell you Radhika?? Radhika replies, today is my first rasoi, this is my bahu-dharam, please let me fulfill it....Dev replies, listening to husband is also your dharm....You come and rest please....She says, I am your wife, but also, I am the choti bahu of the house....this house and people of this house have the right on me as much as you do......
(As much your noble intentions are Radhika, this is a very delicate line that you are walking on, please DO NOT disobey your husband in front of everyone).....
Birju teases him and says, dont complain about my bahuji (radhika)....Dev says, now you have got your bahuji, then you have forgotten your bhaiyya.....HE says, Yes, I have forgotten my Bhaiyya......what will you do?? Dev is faking anger with Birju, just then Radhika walks in......Birju says, now you convince him and walks aways......Dev is looking soooooooooo cute....he has his hands folded across his chest ............He is looking so adorable.........Radhika looks at him and smiles, and asks him, are you not going to eat food....He says, no I am not going to eat....She is smiling...She says, okay, I have made food, but I will not feed anyone, I will stand here itself....Dev looks surprised, and says okay let us go....Radhika is smiling.......
Meanwhile Mrin is in the kitchen and applying ghee(butter) all over the container, so that it becomes slippery....and it should fall when Radhika holds the container....She comes and sits at the dinning table, while Chacha is having evil smile...Dev and Radhika walk in and she says to him to sit and she will go and get the kheer (sweet pudding)...meanwhile one maid is carrying the sweet bowl in the container which is on the plate.....Mrin is indicating to Chacha to watch the scene....
Radhika walks up and picks up the kheer bowl from the plate, and as it slips out of Radhika's hands as she tries to pick it up, Mrin is smiling...but Dev gets hold of the container....everyone looks shocked.....while Mrin is upset.....Dev says that is why I ask you to rest.....Dadi says it is alright,. Kheer did not fall.....Nothing bad has happended..... Koi apshagun nahin huya.....Dadi asks her choti bahu to serve kheer to Dev......Dev is still upset....She is trying to feed him, he turns his face away....but then she goes to other side and this time he eats....Radhika is smiling.....everyone is eating kheer.....Dadi says, come here Choti bahu, this is your nek for first rasoi.....Kheer was awesome.....Mrin is making face....everyone
gives her gift.....When she goes to Mrin, she says, no need to touch my feet, I will give you anyways, and give her a coin ( I think it is 25 paise or something)...Dev looks upset....but does not say anything.,...Vivek is upset too....But Radhika smiles and keeps the coin to her forehead as a blessing.....and then Birju is teasing Dev, saying will you not give any nek.....Dev is still upset....Dadi says to Birju, is the TulaDaan rasam's preparation done?? Birju says, it is done, Panditji will be coming now...Dadi says, please eat food and get ready soon, we have to do the puja.....Radhika says yes......She is now in her bedroom, thinking, he is so upset with me that he has not given me the nek of first rasoi...........it is my fault that I did not pacify him properly.....while Dev walks in from behind (she is already dresses in blue saree, looks pretty)...
Dev is in the room.....There is a maid in the room who is helping Radhika with the saree.....Radhika requests her to go, now that the work is complete...Radhika calls him saying, Suniyee.............She says, are you still angry with me?
Will you not even talk to me? Will you not forgive me? she is holding her ears....He is about to say something, Birju walks in, saying Radhikaji...you father is going to come....Dev is surprising, saying Why?? Birju says, for pagphere rasam, he will take her for few days.....Dev is very upset....and so is Radhika ....Dev says right now?? Birju replies, yes now.....Birju asks Radhika and Dev to come downstairs.....
