It was almost dinner time & everyone wanted to eat barbecue & kebab so it was arranged in backyard. For a change today younger clan were on holiday as elder ladies wanted to cook. Zala came with Pooja & both busy in discussing something. 

UMA: So sab khud loge ya hum serve kar de?

PRITHVI: Hum sab khud le lenge beta. 

UMA: Okay Mama Sa...

Prithvi made Neela sit on sofa & said,

PRITHVI: Aap bethiye hum aap ke liye plate lekar aate hain Rani Sa..

NEELA: Rana Sa hum le lenge...

Prithvi ignored & left to take plate for her making Neela smile. Others admired the love between them. Soon after dinner everyone was sitting & Vardhan came with lots of bags.

VARDHAN: Siya Mam aap ne jo order kiya hain woh sab aa gaya hain kaha rakhu?

SIYA: Thank you aap yeh sab yaha rakh dijiye...

Vardhan nodded with a smile & left keeping the bags. 

SIYA: Pooja yeh sab tumhare liye hain. Dekh lo ek baar kuch changes ho toh change kar dena. 

POOJA: Par Bhabhi aaj hum shopping gae toh the phir ye sab????

KIYAAN: Pooja kinni baar bola si tenu ki jo acha lage si voh le liya kar... 

POOJA: Bhaiyu aaj shopping kari maine sachi mein..,

Angre shook her head & side hugged her,

ANGRE: You don't need to think once about purchasing anything that you like bacha. You don't need to stress about anything. Let yourself free....

Riddhima was sitting beside her so cupped her face,

RIDDHIMA: Bacha I know we faced tough times but now those days are gone. Tum sab ne mera saath diya & the way you all four stood by me I'm proud of you all. Mere saare bache bahot samajhdar hain. Chotu now toh you yourself are self dependent & so is all of us. Also we are secured in all the ways so don't need to restrict yourself & be this rigid. Ab koi tension lene ki zaroorat nahi hain chotu hum sab hain you just live your life & be happy. 

She bobbed her head with moist eyes remembering those days & hugged Riddhima. She caressed her hairs & kissed her hairs. 

RIDDHIMA: Chalo go & check Siya ordered things for you....

She nodded & went & checked everything.

POOJA: Siya Bhabhi yeh sab toh...

SIYA: Tumhein pasand tha na???

POOJA: Bhabhi but yeh kitna saara hain....

SIYA: Kuch bhi nahi hain. My baby you'll get everything you like now no more discussion. Kuch reh gaya ho toh bolo...

Pooja shook her head & hugged Siya & thanked her.

RIDDHIMA: I was thinking ki we will have our breakfast & lunch at Kapoor Mansion & phir hum waha se hi Haveli ke liye nikal jae toh???

CHANCHAL: Nice idea beta. 

RIDDHIMA: Also I was thinking ki Vansh ke friends jo humari shaadi mein aae the unko bhi invite karein. Shivina is toh daughter of this family so usko aur Hiren ko toh hum invite karenge na...

UMA: You sure, you'll be comfortable beta????

RIDDHIMA: Haan Maa...

RUDRA: Alright bacho chalo then packing karlo phir so jana. Subhah kuch na kuch chod doge phir...

REHAAN: Dadi aap meri packing kar doge mera sach mein mood nahi hain packing karne ka????

ARYAN: Tera kab man hota hain?

AJAY: Before going I have something to discuss? Rehaan do you have someone on your mind, in your life. Tumhare liye rishte aa rahe hain. 

REHAAN: Papa I've no one in my life or in my mind. It's just I'm not ready for it. Marriage is not on my plans at least not for this year. 

AJAY: Okay...

Before Riddhima could speak Angre rushed inside with an excuse of urgent call. She huffed & glared the way Angre went inside making Vansh & Kiyaan chuckle. 

VANSH: Let him be Riddhu...

RIDDHIMA: What let him be Ansh??? Baat sun ne ko taiyaar hi nahi hain. 

NEELA: Kya hua???

RIDDHIMA: Mami Sa samjha dijiyega usse 6 mahine hain uske paas ya toh woh khud ladki dhund le yaa phir main uski arrange marriage karwa dungi. Had hain shaadi nahi karne wala, shaadi nahi karne wala kehta phirta hain. Kab tak ese akela rahega???

PRITHVI: Dekhiye Rani Sa kaun bol raha hain? Aap ussse bhi zyada ziddi thi iss baare mein beta yeh toh Vansh ke pyaar ne aap ko badal diya hain...

RIDDHIMA: Par maine ki na shaadi aur woh bhi Vansh ko...

She was going to spill out how she threatened Vansh & stopped herself & bit her tongue making younger clan & Ajay laugh. She pouted & threw cushion at Vansh making him laugh more. 

RIDDHIMA: Bata rahi hu jisko usse samjhana hain samjha lo otherwise I'll go my way & he won't like it. 

Huffing in anger she left to their room. Reaching there room she realised she forgot to ask Uma of she can invite Vansh's friends so she got a call & getting green signal from her she decided to pack first because she knew Vansh & Rehaan both are lazy heads when it comes to packing so she just did everything quickly. She was in dilemma whether to wear the nightwear she brought or not & sighing she shut that topic in her mind & called Himanshu. 

HIMANSHU: Hello who's there????

RIDDHIMA: Hello Mrs. Vansh Raisinghania here.. Can I talk to Mr. Mundhra?

HIMANSHU: Haan Bhabhi boliye na & please don't be formal you can call me Himanshu.

RIDDHIMA: Ya. Actually I've called to invite you. We all are going to our Pushtaini Haveli for Holi celebration so if you would come & join us we'd be really happy. 

HIMANSHU: Thank you for the invitation Bhabhi, I'll definitely join.

RIDDHIMA: Hum sab kal lunch ke baad nikal rahe hain aap agar chaho toh hum sab ke saath aa sakte ho.

HIMANSHU: Okay Bhabhi I'll catch up with you all. 

RIDDHIMA: Great, we'll send the timings tomorrow probably it will be around 3:00. 

HIMANSHU: Done. 

Wishing good night they cut the call. She was missing Shivina's baby so she video called her. 

SHIVINA: Hiii Riddhima...

She squealed excitedly making Riddhima chuckle. 

RIDDHIMA: Hii Shivi. How are you????

SHIVINA: All good.

RIDDHIMA: How's Hiren & champ?

SHIVINA: Hiren is all good. Anjali was having some issue in her project so he's helping her & your champ is here doing all mischiefs troubling her Mumma. 

Riddhima giggled. 

SHIVINA: Wait I'll show you....

She kept the phone on vanity & went to crib to take her baby. Riddhima saw she was wearing nightwear similar to one Siya brought. Riddhima talked with little munchkin & then said,

RIDDHIMA: Shivi woh hum kal Haveli jaa rahe hain holi ke liye tum, Hiren aur baby aaoge toh humein acha lagega. Also kae din ho gae tum ghar nahi aae ho....

SHIVINA: Acha main Hiren se puch leti hu waise toh mana nahi karega but uska office mein koe kaam hain ki nahi. 

Before Riddhima could say Hiren came. He didn't knew she was on call & seeing her he spoke,

HIREN: Shivi looking hot yaar maarne ka irada hain kya? 

Shivi threw cushion at him while blushing.

SHIVI: Shut up you idiot. 

Hiren realised she was on call so bit his tongue. Seeing Riddhima he spoke,

HIREN: Hii Bhabhi, kaise ho????

RIDDHIMA: I'm fine aap kaise ho?

HIREN: All well, Vansh kaha gaya?

RIDDHIMA: Woh neeche hain. Actually I called to invite you trio for holi celebration. Hum sab haveli jaa rahe hain tum teeno bhi humare saath aaoge toh humein acha lagega. 

HIREN: Kab nikal rahe ho?

RIDDHIMA: Kal lunch ke baad...

HIREN: Okay then kal subhah meri ek meeting hain lunch tak khatam ho jaegi we'll be joining you or waise bhi Shivi kitne dino se nahi aae waha uska bhi man tha....

RIDDHIMA: Okay then...

HIREN: Shivi tum aur Bhabhi baatein karo mein baby ko lene aaya tha. Anjali wants to sleep with him so....

Shivi nodded & Hiren went bidding bye to Riddhima. She thought to ask Shivina about her dress so she said,

RIDDHIMA: Shivi ummm...

SHIVINA: Riddhima don't hesitate ask whatever you want waise bhi we're more like besties & sisters so it's okay.

RIDDHIMA: You've a nice dress jo abhi tumne pehna hain woh.. I mean woh...

SHIVINA: Ohh yehh.. woh maine online order kiya tha. I'll send you the link agar tumhein acha laga ho toh. Uss site par bahot ache dresses hote hain...  Abhi new collection next week hi launch hone wala hain. You want to see main kuch aur bhi lae thi... 

RIDDHIMA: If you don't mind....

Shivina smiled & went to her wardobe & showed her many dresses which she had & Riddhima gulped. They talked for sometime & cut the call. 

RIDDHIMA: Shivina was so comfortable in that dress. Siya ne bhi liya aur waha woh jo dusri ladies thi woh bhi le rahi thi. That means it's normal. Also Hiren even said those words to Shivina & she was blushing & her smile was real too. I don't know all this is so confusing. Ab main kya karu????

She was talking to herself being all confused & scared thinking what she should do whether she should wear it or not???? All confused she went to Jahnvi & found she & Chanchal were packing. 

RIDDHIMA: Maa main andar aa jau????

UMA: Arrey bacha aa jao ismien puchna kya hain. Aur waise bhi I was going to call you only. 

RIDDHIMA: Kya hua???

CHANCHAL: We were deciding what to wear? What are you gonna wear???

RIDDHIMA: Maa I want to wear saree, I've got it today only while shopping. 

UMA: Okay what about jwelery.

RIDDHIMA: Maa, Choti Maa I liked oxodised jwelery so I got it. It was going well with saree so main woh pehnu toh??

CHANCHAL: Okay if you like it go for it. 

Riddhima smiled. Gathering courage she asked,

RIDDHIMA: Maa, Choti Maa trousseau main kya kya hota hain???

Uma & Chanchal looked at each other & blinked. Chanchal took her to balcony & made her sit & Uma too joined her.

CHANCHAL: Bacha trousseau in short means everything that a bride needs in her new life. It includes variety of like from clothes, make up kits, skin care, accessories like footwear, bags, jwelery, lingeries & everything she needs & wants. 

RIDDHIMA: Ohh....

She was confused so Uma spoke. 

UMA: Beta aaj yeh question kyun achanak?

RIDDHIMA: Maa woh...

She didn't knew how to clear her confusion on wearing nighties after marriage which was bugging her since the time she went for shopping. 

UMA: Beta if you think you didn't brought it then no need to think like that. Bacha everything here is yours only. Just like Kiyaan said Siya has no need for trousseau because it's his responsibility & duty take care of her needs & wants in the same way it's Vansh & our responsibility to take care of your needs & wants. Don't stress on it...

Riddhima nodded with a smile. 

RIDDHIMA: No Maa it's nothing like that it's just I didn't know & while shopping I heard few ladies talking about it so isiliye maine pucha.

Before they continue their talk other three girls entered & pulled them to Ishani, Pooja & Myra's room who were sharing it. They started showing what all they bought. 

ISHANI: Maa, Choti Maa Victoria Secret has launched a beautiful collection. 

UMA: So what our new brides got from it?

CHANCHAL: Obviously Bhabhi some hot & sexy lingeries....

Siya & Riddhima blushed while others chuckled. 

ISHANI: Siya Di was too shy....

MYRA: & we literally had to push her with things. 

SIYA: Idiots...

She said throwing cushion at them making both girls laugh. Till then Riddhima too came with shopping bags & everyone saw it. Uma & Chanchal noticed she didn't purchased anything from Victoria's Secret & looked at each other.

UMA: Riddhima beta you didn't bought anything from Victoria's Secret. Their quality & collection both is good.

RIDDHIMA: No Maa mere paas hain sab...

She said while stuttering looking down & both mothers understood her hesitation. They decided to have girls talk. 

UMA: Girls go & keep everything then we will have a talk. 

All nodded & came back quick. 

CHANCHAL: Riddhima & Siya you both have already married, Myra is soon going to be married while Ishu & Pooja still has time but let's talk on this.

UMA: Beta it's normal after marriage. Kae girls ko pasand hota hain to wear different types of lingeries & it's total normal. After marriage cheezein aur badal jaati hain. You'll feel changes in your choices, your desires, your likings & dislikings, your expectations, everything will change & it's normal.

Siya knew they were trying to make Riddhima open up so she took initiative. Myra understood & joined.

SIYA: Maa, Choti Maa you know aaj when we were shopping there was few thing I liked but I didn't had courage to wear that so I ditched those....

MYRA: Siya Bhabhi I too liked that one piece swim wear but abhi main kaha pehn ke jau????

ISHANI: That blue one na???

MYRA: Haan... 

ISHANI: Even I too liked it. But maine pehle bhi ek esa leke rakha tha mujhe bahot pasand aaya tha toh but kabhi pehn ne ka time hi nahi mila...

Riddhima was hearing all these with curiosity & Pooja was all way silent being shy. 

CHANCHAL: Alright let's talk jisko jo bhi question aae woh puchega freely. 

UMA: Okay so first thing is your comfortableness. If you feel comfortable enough then go for it. You all are aware about how to dress with modesty. It's not the piece of cloth is appropriate or inappropriate but the place decided it. 

RIDDHIMA: So is it normal to wear those things?

CHANCHAL: It's completely normal beta. Lingeries are a necessity just like food, water, shelter & all. 

RIDDHIMA: Par there were many pieces that were too I mean woh sab...

UMA: Beta it's pretty normal. All those things include in trousseau too. Even me & Chanchal had in our trousseau & still we have collection of many lingeries. It's upto you ki what you want & what not. Many people are bold enough to wear in front of public which we feel is not modest but it's their choice. 

CHANCHAL: Yaa same like you see on many beaches, near swimming pools, even many do photoshoots & ramp walkss in those outfits which we don't feel comfortable. But wearing infront of the man you love, your husband is a pretty normal thing. If you are comfortable wearing those things, enjoy wearing those things, it's no bad when you both are alone. Every couple has their own private space, their own private moments, their own understanding & comfortableness & it's upto them. 

RIDDHIMA: But agar humein nahi pehn na ho toh???

UMA: Then you should not wear it. No matter what I repeat to all of you no matter what you all will never do any things that you don't want to. Remember this & fix this in your mind. Consent is one of the most important pillar of any relationship. Ever confused ask your heart & mind about it. Your No means no, your may be means no, your silence means no, only your yes means yes. Whatever it is whether it's choice of lingeries, outfits, physical intimacy or any other thing both's consent is must. 

Siya looked at Riddhima & found her confusion getting little clear so she asked on behalf of her.

SIYA: That means Maa, Choti Maa you both too have the lingeries similar to I have.

Uma & Chanchal looked at Siya all confused because they didn't expected this question from her. They raised their eyebrows & she blinked & signalled towards Riddhima. Riddhima was unaware of these little eye talk & was waiting for answer with curiosity to get her confusions cleared.

CHANCHAL: Yaa we both have... Last main aur Bhabhi shopping gae tab we even bought new ones too.

Uma & Chanchal knew something was off. Their  motherly instincts were telling her that her daughter needs to know so she opened up bit more.

UMA: Beta it's upto you. I love to try new styles so I wear it. Marriage is a thing which requires efforts from both the partners along with understanding. I have few sets of bold swim wears too which I usually wear during our couple vacations or stays that doesn't mean it's a bad thing. I'm comfortable around Ajay & we both usually have our couple time so it's okay. 

CHANCHAL: In starting I was shy so I ditched but once comfortable I too wear sometimes during our couple time. 

Riddhima's doubts were clear that it's normal. Neela came there & said,

NEELA: Bacho chalo go & sleep kal phir thak jaoge saare....

All nodded & after kissing girls forehead they left. Riddhima & Siya too went & found Vansh coming out of closet after changing. She closed the door & he back hugged her kissing her cheek. She kept her hands on his & leaned on to him.

VANSH: How was your day Baby????

RIDDHIMA: It was good. I did so much of shopping that I was tired. Shopping with Myra & Ishu is a big task.

She huffed & pouted & Vansh smiled at her. He loved how she lives her life in her real form without any tension & worries, how she throws tantrums, how she demands attention & how she loves to get loved & pampered. 

VANSH: Chalo let's see what all you shopped today???

Riddhima excitedly nodded & showed her things she shopped for him & also her accessories. 

VANSH: Riddhu tumhare liye shopping karna tha tumhari cheezo se zyada toh meri cheezein hain....

She giggled & sat on his lap keeping her legs on his both side & his hands intsantly got wrapped around her waist to hold her. She cupped his face in her both hands & rubbed their nose & bit his nose & giggled. He smiled & rubbed their nose. 

VANSH: Aaj mera bunny shaitani karne ke mood mein hain....

She again giggled & bobbed her head & kissed his nose where she bit. 

RIDDHIMA: I bought some oxidised jweleries & a saree for holi. That will be surprise for you so you need to wait. 

VANSH: Okay so I guess I'm gonna wear this white shirt & pant on holi that you bought today.

Riddhima again bobbed her head. 

RIDDHIMA: You know Ansh aaj na mall mein hum logo ne brunch kiya tha. I had burger & it was so so so good. I loved it. Someday na we both will go there to eat burgers.

VANSH: Okay we'll definitely go... 

RIDDHIMA: I even called & invited your friends & they'll be coming with us. I'm so excited to play with Shivi's baby. 

Vansh kissed her cheek & both stayed in each other's arms.
