10:00 am

A drowsy Ajey peeked at his watch for the zillionth time and grumbled “Mummy yaar yeh aapki best friend ka ghar aur kitni dur hai??”

Irked by Ajey’s constant nagging, Sia asserted  “arrey thodi si shanti rakh….hum bass paanch minute mein pohachne wale hai!!!”

Whining like a baby, Ajey complained “yeh aapka paanch minute wala scheme naa pichle ek ghante se chal raha hai!!!!…akhir yeh aapki best friend ka ghar Mumbai ke map mein hai bhi ki nehin??”

Sia was all set to thrash her son, when Jai stepped in to save the day “agar tum maa-bete ka hogaya ho...toh humlog finally humare manzil taak pohach gaye hai!!”

Sarcastically Ajey remarked “arrey waah kitni jaldi pohach gaye naa humlog papa!!!!”

Scowling at Ajey, Sia spoke to her husband “ratti bhar bhi patience nehi hai iss nalayaak mein…bilkul tum pein gaya hai!!!”

Jai retorted “yeh kaisa logic hai??...agar iss ne kuch accha kiya ho toh tumhara beta…aur galti se agar kuch bura kar de toh woh jhaat se mera beta baan jaata hai!!!…arrey tum toh doctor ho naa..phir yeh baat bhul kaise jaati ho ki iss nalayaak mein hum dono ke equal chromosomes hai!!!”

Rolling her eyes Sia concluded “mujhe iss baat pein koi behes hi nehin karni hai!!!...kaha bhagwan ji se phool si beti maangi thi …par naseeb mein doo karele jaise bete mil gaye”

Delivering her punch line successfully, Sia stepped out of the car, leaving Jai and Ajey thoroughly perplexed.

Yash and Tanmay who were sleeping throughout the entire journey were suddenly wide awake and mutely witnessed the family drama unfolding in front of them.

Smacking Ajey’s head, Yash rebuked “tu hoga India ka no one roast king!..but ghar pein naa sirf mummy ka barbecue chalta hai!!”

A vexed Ajey snarled “theek hai naa… ab agar mummy ko phool jaisi beti chahiye….toh tu papa ko bol!!!”

At once Jai countered “oh hello papa ko bol ka matlab kya hota hai!!!...ab beti kya papa Amazon yah Flipkart se mangaenge!!!....ek taraf tumhari mummy ke taane aur dusri taraf tumhare unrealistic farmaishe!!!....pareshaan ho gaya hu main!!!....issliye kaan khol ke sunn lo …ab humare ghar mein beti nehin sirf bahu aayegi!!!...yah toh tum dono aapne liye ladki dhoondh lo warna naya ghar dekh lena”

Hurling his threat at them, Jai got off the car. While thinking about the impending doom Yash and Ajey got super distressed.

Trying to cheer them up, Tanmay said “ arrey guys chill…Ajey ke liye ladki toh mil gayi hai!!...ab Yash ke liye bhi dhoondh hi lenge!!!”

An embittered Ajey bellowed “bhai kaha mili ladki!!...poore  Mumbai mein main usse dhoondhunga kaha!!!”

Slow clapping Yash pointed out “happy realization baby bro!!!....kal raat ko jab maine yeh same baat boli thi …toh tu saapne mein bhabhi se milne ke liye maara jaa raha tha…ab kya hua??.. saapna toot gaya ki nasha uttar gaya????”

A boiling Ajey replied “theek hai naa!!!...subha hote hi tumhari bhabhi saapno mein tata bol ke chali gayi!!!...ab yeh soccho ki woh real life mein akhir milegi kaha!!!”

Their super important discussion was interrupted by the sharp call of Jai “arrey jaldi car se bahar aao…dekho yaha aunty uncle tumlogo ka wait kar rahe hai!!!”

Keeping aside all their worries for the time being, the trio made their way towards the entrance of the house.

Sia and Jai were happily chatting away with their old pals.

As the trio reached there Sia started introducing them.

Pointing at Yash and Ajey, Sia said “mere doo laadlon ko toh tum jaanti hi ho Nyo….aur yeh Tanmay hai unnka dost..”

Straight away Nyonika came in front of the Nagar brothers and patted their heads “last time jab main mili thi toh Yash ne school jaana start hi kiya tha…aur Ajey toh diaper mein tha!!!....ab dekho kitne bade ho gaye hai!!!”

Raj jumped in the conversation “kya tum bhi school aur diapers ki baatein leke baith gayi!!!...chalo innhe leke andar chalte hai!!!”

All of them were about to move inside, when they spotted a young couple moving towards them.

Nyonika grumpily exclaimed “finally tum dono ko aane ka waqt mil gaya naa!!!!...poore ek ghante late ho!!!”

Hinting at her husband the girl declared “aunty meri koi galti nehi hai…aap iss se poucho!!...kitni baar maine subha ko isse jaldi uthne ke liye bola…par nehin…meri kaun sunnta hai!!!...”

Raj stepped in and tried to divert the bull session “accha baba dono ladna baand karo aur inn se milo…yeh Sia aur Jai hai…humare poorane friends..”

With a broad smile Aliya went and hugged Sia “hi Sia aunty…aapke bareme Nyo aunty se itna sunna hai ki….aap se milne ka wait hi nehi ho paa raha tha!!!”

Nyonika enlightened “Sia yeh Aliya hai humari beti Mukti ki childhood friend…aur Dhruv usska husband”

Once they were done with exchanging smiles, Aliya queried “Nyo aunty Muku aa gayi kya???”

Nyonika assured “arrey woh toh kab ka aa gayi hai…chalo hum sab sidhe garden ki taraf hi chalte hai!!”

Everybody  moved towards the spacious garden which had a pool attached to it.

On seeing the Nagar family approaching, Mukti moved closer to welcome them.

Mukti cheerfully greeted them “hello uncle-aunty…aap log kaise ho??”

Sia and Jai were a bit puzzled and failed to recognise her.

Nyonika guided them “yeh Mukti hai!!!”

Sia burst out with joy “arrey baap re…yeh humari wahi chhoti si Mukti hai kya joh poore ghar mein bhaagti rehti thi”

Giving them a loving smile, Mukti said “aap ne bilkul sahi pehechana…bass ab main nehin balki junior Mukti poore ghar mein bhaagti hai!!!”

Confusedly Sia asked “kya matlab???”

Nyonika filled in with the information “ humari Mukti ko 6 saal ki ek beti hai Maahi!!!”

Gleaming with joy Sia hailed “humari Mukti ko ek beti bhi hai!!!...sacch mein yeh bacche kitne jaldi bade hogaye naa!!”

Smiling buoyantly, Nyonika enquired “waise Maahi kaha hai…dikhai nehin de rahi???”

Mukti (happily) : woh toh ate hi siddha aapne masi se mil ne gayi

Sia ( jumbled ) : masi???

Nyonika briefed “darasal ek hafte pehele hi humari chhoti beti London se wapas ayi hai…Maahi ussi se milne gayi hai”

An overwhelmed Sia complained “yeh kya baat hui Nyo…aaj tak aapni chhoti beti se nehin milwaya!!”

Nyonika apologetically said “sorry yaar aaj jee bhar ke dekh lena usse…filhal toh tum inn se milo”

Sia found a guy standing with a broad smile in front of her.

Holding Sia’s hands in his, the guy spoke “appa kehte hai ki aap world ki best kheer baanati hai!!!”

Totally at a loss of words Sia mouthed "appa????"

Patting Sia’s back Nyonika divulged “ yeh Mukti ka husband hai…Abhimanyu…Abhimanyu Murthy!!!”

Sia literally cried out “arrey humare Shekhar Murthy ka beta Abhimanyu!!”

Nyonika just nodded her head in confirmation.

Abhimanyu asserted “main aapko kisi se milwa naa chahta hu aunty…bass ek minute…main abhi usse bula ke laya!!”

Saying this Abhimanyu left from there in search of someone.

Inquisitively Sia questioned “yeh Abhimanyu kise bulane gaya hai???”

But before Nyonika could answer, Nandini’s sweet voice interrupted “hello aunty…aap ke bareme amma appa se bahut sunna hai!!!”

To clear up Sia’s confusion, Abhmanyu related “yeh meri chhoti behen aur Manik ki wife…Nandini hai!!!”

Blown away by the revelations Sia commented “arrey yeh toh ek ke baad ek surprise mil raha hai mujhe!!!...sahi mein…dosti ko rishtedari mein badalte hue sunna tha…par aaj dekh bhi liya!!!..kya baat hai Nyo!!”

Nyonika giggled “iss mein mera koi haath nehi hai.. bacche apaas mein ek dusre se pyaar karte the..humlogo ne toh baas shaadi karwa di!!!”

Sia jabbered “tu toh rehen de… college time se hum sab ko pataa hai ki tu kitni badi love guru hai!!...akhir meri aur Jai ki shaadi bhi teri hi wajah se hui thi!!!”

And every one of them broke into fits of laughter.

In a matter of fact way Nyonika added “woh joh Sanjeevani Group of Hospitals hai naa…woh Murthys ka hi hai!!!”

Until now the trio was least bothered about their surroundings. But on hearing the word ‘Sanjeevani’, they got highly attentive towards the whole discussion.

Sia bespoke “arrey waah mujhe toh pataa hi nehin tha ki Sanjeevani humare Shekhar ka hospital hai”

Raj further stated “in fact Abhimanyu..Nandini aur humari chhoti beti Sanjeevani ke hi doctors hai!!!!”

That was it, giving Yash and Tanmay a dreamy look Ajey concluded “guys …band baaja book karwa lo…ab toh tumlogo ki bhabhi ka information nikalna aur bhi asaan ho gaya!!”
