OM, Mumbai, India
Mami: Rishi ... Ravi ... are you guys ready? ... we have to leave in half an hour
Rishi: Yes Mom ... by the way, where is Dad?
Mami: He is having his breakfast ... you guys also come ... otherwise, we will be late. And Ravi ... had you asked Tania to come here?
Ravi: Oh I forgot mom ... don't worry I will call her now ... you guys proceed
Mami: You forgot? Ravi ... how will a girl be ready in this time?
Ravi: (Shrugging his shoulders) she has to be ... as always ... anyway, her luggage will be packed for the business trip we planned before... so
Mami: Okay ... if you are saying so ... anyway call her immediately and tell her to be ready
Rishi: And hey ... don't scold her Big B
Ravi: Oye she is my PA ... not yours ... I know what to do
Rishi shrugged and he and Mami walked away. Ravi called Tania and she took the phone when it was about to stop.
Tania: (In a sleepy voice) who the hell is this ... calling me early in the morning disturbing my beauty sleep?
Ravi: (Little angry) it's me ... Tania ... didn't you recognize my voice?
Tania: Me? ... who me?
Ravi: (Gritting his teeth) it is Ravish Singh Oberoi ... Ms. Ganguly
Hearing the name she sat up straight and said.
Tania: Aap (You)? ... what happened ... any problem with the presentation I gave yesterday?
Ravi: It is not that Tani (He bit his tongue for his foolishness and immediately added an 'a') ... today is my brother's wedding reception and we have to leave for Delhi
Tania: What? ... your brother got married? I mean at least you could have told me ... oh yeah what a fool I am ... I understand ... it happened in Delhi so how would you know, right? By the way who did this? Rishi or Rudy? Maybe Rishi ... I mean Rudy is just a college-going guy ... but Rishi is a matured guy so why will he do this? (Sighing and then gasping) ... oh no ... Dadi must be very sad right?
Ravi: Is yours over? ... will you let me speak now at least?
Tania: Huh?
Ravi: By 'brother' I meant my cousin who is married and was settled in America. And yeah ... I didn't call you for the wedding because they married three years ago ... and as it happened in America the people here aren't aware of that ... so Manav uncle decided to call a reception ...
Tania: Manav uncle's son?
Ravi: Yes ... Arnav. Okay leave all that and go and get ready ... we have to leave in an hour ... the flight is in one and a half hours
Tania: But you had told me about Arnie only ... so who is this Arnav now?
Ravi: It is him only ... we call him Arnie ... and Tania now please stop your interrogation ... go and get ready ...
Tania: But ...
Ravi: No ifs and buts ... go and get ready. Me, Rishi, Mom and Dad all are ready... waiting for you only ... so will you get ready or shall we go?
Tania: Then go na ... who asked you to take me ... like that also it is not a business party ... so
Ravi: Tania ... Dadz wants you there ... she told about some promise and all
Tania: Dadi remembers her promise ...
Ravi: I will be there in half an hour ... if you are ready you can come otherwise sit there and finish your interrogation
Saying this he cut the call and she was, as usual, finding words to fill in the place of R of RSO like Rude, Rock, and Rakshas, etc.
In RM, New Delhi, India
In the early morning itself Anjali and Chachi went to the parlor of Anjali's one friend waking her early morning for their beauty treatment tagging Payal along with them. They wanted to take Sheetal too but seeing her in Kitchen and realizing somebody is needed for preparing breakfast leaving her the three went.
Arnav with Manav, Kiran, Nikhil, and Rudy, as usual, went jogging and the sleepyheads, Lavanya and Khushi woke early today and accompanied Nani for the Mass in the church. When they returned back from jogging the DR was engrossed in the morning Puja and due to the call for an urgent bath everybody went to freshen up.
One by one everybody got ready and came down. The breakfast was getting ready and everybody was settled in the living room. Anjali and others too came back from the parlor and seeing their over makeup Rudy and Kiran couldn't control their laugh and everybody looked at them except Arnav who himself was controlling his laugh under the newspaper as if they are mad. But shrugged it off thinking it is some new stupidity of them.
Sheetal noticed Kiran and Rudy looking again and again in their direction and laughing and understood the reason now knowing about them. Anjali too noticed it and gritted her teeth but controlled not wanting to make Manav angry.
Kiran started her nonstop talk with Manav filling him about what and all he missed and DR, Shyam and Sheetal though expected was amused hearing all that about Arnav. And ASR did the best thing to avoid their stares ... buried himself more in the paper not giving them a chance to see his face. Later as usual everybody was listening to Kiran with great interest including Rudy who was finding chances to mock her.
Seeing their fight Anjali sometimes tried to make them against each other by her sugar-coated words only to find herself being mocked by them. Arnav wanted to laugh at her irritated face and be their partner in mocking her remembering her cheap plans to separate him and his Kiya but kept quiet as they were doing it very well.
Nani and her lovely granddaughters choose that moment to return and Anjali fumed seeing their happy face. Arnav looked at Khushi appreciatively seeing her attire and Lavanya too blushed under Nikhil's gaze. Khushi moved forward giving the holy water to Manav, Nikhil, Rudy, and Kiran, they all received it and crossed themselves and the youngsters except Anjali looked at with awe as they haven't seen anybody doing it this close. At last, she reached Arnav who didn't reach for water making everybody confused and Anjali happy as he refused Khushi.
But Arnav had other plans ... he dropped the paper and looked at Khushi. Khushi shook her head at his childishness and without any problem went behind him and bend down to his level keeping her chin on his shoulder and brought the water to his lips herself and to the astonishment of anybody who waited for the explosion had to blow off their dreams as he accepted it obediently like a child. Then she had crossed him by herself as if crossing both of them and he flashed his charming smile at her and then turning to her side kissed her on cheeks wishing 'good morning'. She too wished him and stood up, Shyam too showed his hand making Khushi smile at him. She then asked Sheetal if she would like to take this and she too received it exactly imitating her Bhaiyya making everybody except DR smile at her.
Khushi: I told you Arnav ... there is special worship this week due to some feast. It is worship with candles and today there were ten Lakhs of candles lightened and the sight was mind-blowing
Arnav: Really? ... you liked it? ... okay then let us do one thing ... we can have a worship tomorrow with a hundred Lakhs candles? ... what say?
Khushi: Can we?
Manav: Of course ... we all will go and do it
Sheetal: Can I come too?
Nani: Of course Sheetal ... by the way, why didn't you come today?
Sheetal: That ... I ... breakfast
Nani: There are servants to do that Sheetal ... or are you one here? No right? ... so don't make yourself one.
It was an invisible slap for DR. To avoid more such situations Dadi intervened.
Dadi: Suhasini ... shall we move for breakfast?
Nani: Yeah .. let us check what Sheetal had made today
Sheetal: Di ... I made everybody's favorite. It was easy as you yesterday said who likes what
Anjali frowned why Sheetal is calling her as Di and turned to ask when did she said that only to be red in anger realizing she was talking to Khushi.
Khushi: Really? ... but Sheetal you didn't have to take the pain alone ... I mean we could have made it while all of us will cook together
Nani: Kiya ... (Looking pointedly at DR) I think it has become her habit working all alone.
Anjali wanted to tell something very bad to her for pointing at them but controlled herself as she doesn't want Manav to cancel the party and an opportunity to see herself on TV.
They all moved to the dining table and Khushi, Lavanya, and Payal laid the table giving rest to Sheetal. Khushi was serving Rudy when suddenly Rudy caught her hand and she frowned at that.
Rudy: Khush ... new tattoo? ... when did you do this?
Khushi: Last time when we went to Paris
Kiran: Rowdy ... it's a couple-tattoo
Rudy: Really show me yours too Arnie
Arnav showed him and he awed. Nani couldn't see as she was sitting across the table and others were amused seeing it as they had seen it only in cinema except for Akash and Shyam.
Nani: You didn't tell me about it, Arnie ... anyway, now show me both of you
They showed their hands together.
Sheetal: This thing ... I mean tattooing is painful right?
Khushi: It is Sheetal ... but it wasn't a first time for us ... so
Sheetal: You two have tattoos already?
Rudy: Yeah that was done with us. You see we have the Oberoi's 'O' tattoo. And that time with us Arnie made a 'Khushi' tattoo on his shoulder blade and Khush had an 'A' in her wrist.
Sheetal: Really?
Khushi: Yes ... here ... see
Kiran: And look there ... the 'K' of Khushi can be seen
Kiran said pointing at Arnav's shoulder and that's when everybody looked at Arnav. And for the first time really realized what it was on his shoulder.
Anjali who was red with anger stormed to her room as she couldn't take it anymore. Because once she had asked Shyam to have a tattoo with just 'A' in his hand seeing it in a film but he refused and here Arnav had a tattoo with Khushi's full name that too on his shoulder. Shyam understood the matter but cared less and others were confused with her behavior.
Later Anjali many times tried to sweet talk to Sheetal but Sheetal who was well aware of the truth completely ignored her. Anjali even though angry was keeping everything inside her deciding to teach her a lesson after the party. Anjali, Payal, and Chachi were then engrossed in selecting Sarees and accessories for the party came down only to see Arnav's gang along with Sheetal engrossed in some game and seniors watching them affectionately engaged in their own gossips. This time for a change Akash and Shyam too joined them for the caroms play and they too were enjoying the game and teasing very well.
Around noon the bells of RM rang and HP opened the door. Mama-Mami, Rishi, and Ravi along with Tania appeared.
And before anyone knew Ravi was taken in a bear hug by his three sisters. He stumbled back due to the force of their hug but hugged them back with equal happiness. The three squealed together.
Lavanya, Khushi, and Kiran: We missed you Big B ...
Ravi: I too missed you my cuties. (Breaking the hug and looking at Khushi and Lavanya) ... Welcome to India Dr. Raizadas ... tell me how was the convocation?
Lavanya: Awesome ...
Ravi: Really? ... then where is my treat guys?
Khushi: Big B now you are here, we will give you anything you want
Kiran: (Pouting) Big B ... you forgot about me?
Ravi: No way ... how will I forget about my cutie pie? ... so tell me how was your prom? (Winking) got any BF?
Kiran: Eww ... no thanks (Looking at Manav) I am happy with my cute BF
Manav: Yes ... yes I am not allowing anybody to steal my GF from me
Rudy unknowingly frowned at that and Arnav smirked. Arnav, Nikhil and Rudy shared a friendly hug with Ravi.
Rishi: Hey ... we too had come ... somebody notice us too
Arnav: Bro what to do? ... you know, right? ... Big B is everybody's favorite
Rishi: And I am jealous of him for that even though he is my brother
Others chuckled at that. Then Kiran was the first one to come running to Rishi. He hugged her above ground and said
Rishi: How is my superstar?
Kiran: Cool and you bro?
Rishi: Super cool
Then the four brothers shared their signature group hug with Kiran pouting at them for not being a part of it and Rudy smirking at her state.
Khushi came to Mama-Mami and took their blessings who in turn hugged her. After that what everybody can see was a shower of hugs and kisses and at last the volcano called 'Anjali Manohar Jha' erupted
Anjali: Stop it ... stop this nonsense. (Pointing at Ravi) ... who the hell allowed him to enter my house? ... (Sarcastically) hadn't he got enough insult then or want more?
Before Manav can speak Arnav towered over her dangerously and said in a low yet intimidating voice
Arnav: Shut your bloody mouth Anjali ... otherwise, I will forget who you are ... that day you insulted Big B ... I couldn't do anything because it was your life and I can't force you. But don't expect me to be calm while you will accuse my brother. You very well know what he means to me ... so keep your nonsense with yourself and about the house ... the house is not Raizada's ancestral property from where, once you, your Chachu, Chachi and Dadi kicked them out ... it is solely made by my earnings as a gift to my Dad. And I don't need anybody's advice to keep someone in my house or not ... and yeah I believe I made myself clear.
Anjali couldn't take the insult and started her waterworks.
Anjali: How ... how could you say that to me? Aren't I, your sister? ... and what is this? ... you are insulting your own sister for an outsider
Arnav: Khabardar (Don't you dare) khabardar you say it again ... because he is not an outsider, but my elder brother who was always there for me whenever I needed someone and agar dobara aisa bola tho (If you say it again) ... you will see the real ASR who people are afraid of ...
Anjali: Papa, Chachu, Chachi, Dadi ... see this, what he is saying?
Manav: Anjali ... don't create a drama and go to your room. And it is true ... they aren't any outsiders but my family and like Arnav said nobody asked your permission to let them stay here. So stay away and do your work rather than interfering in other's life
Anjali, as usual, ran to her room with her minion following while some DR stood there to start their only duty.
Akash: Arnav ... how could you speak to Anju like that?
Arnav: (Shrugging) I guess I showed you that now
Dadi: Manav ... why are you doing this? ... hurting your daughter again and again? And Arnav how could you say she doesn't have any right here? See you two had hurt her and now she is crying
Manav: Why are you scolding him Maa ... whatever he said is right, isn't it? Bhaiyya destroyed his business for the never-ending demands of his wife and Anju. You all supported her even when I warned many times not to and spoiled her. And about Ravi ... you all may be holding some grudges against him due to the lies your Anju fed you ... but neither I nor Arnav does that. So, understand this ... he is not an outsider he was the elder brother who Arnav always craved for but never had. And if he said something to the people who are trying to hurt his brother I won't ever stop him. (Pointing at Ravi) ... he ... I know him from birth and I believe him ... it is the truth. And if your Anju got hurt hearing the truth then I am sorry, I can't do anything about it
Dadi's mouth shut with that and slowly all DR dispersed as they were at loss of words. Tania and Sheetal even though don't know anything felt pity for Anjali. During the whole talk, Rishi was busy stealing glances of someone who in her emotional state didn't realize that. But that didn't go unnoticed by the detectives Kiran and Lavanya.
After the meet greets Mama-Mami was showed their room while Rishi and Ravi decided to share their room with Rudy. Before somebody says anything Sheetal invited Tania to share the room as per their plan to know her more. The new arrivals decided to freshen up while others decided to relax sometime before lunch.
After some time
Kiran and Lavanya along with Rudy and Nikhil barged into Arshi's room to see them in a very compromising position. All turned their heads and the couple composed themselves. Arnav was irritated while Khushi was busy blushing
Rudy: Err ... at least give it a break, Bro
Arnav: Excuse me ... it is you who barged into a couple's room like that and now pointing at us shamelessly
Rudy: But do you have to have this now only?
Arnav: What the! ... are you mad? ... I mean is it something we do according to time?
Kiran: Stop it you two perverts ... we are here to discuss something ... don't forget that
Lavanya: Yes ... you can discuss every other thing later ... first, hear us out
Khushi: What happened?
Then they explained whatever they saw downstairs. And Arnav too shared whatever Ravi told yesterday.
Kiran: What the! ... you are saying all this now?
Arnav: Err ... I forgot
Kiran: Whatever ... hmm ... okay then I have another plan
Khushi: What is it?
She then discussed her plan and they all shared a group hug deciding to make it Tanish and Sheesh by the end of the day.
