dadi was satisfied with anika's answer  ,  shakti was very disturbed  . om wanted to drag anika and keep her locked up in his room away from dadi's vulture eyes . only pinky and rudy were enjoying the whole scene , shivaay's eyes were just hooked to anika he was not at all interested in dadi's talk . rudy's peace of mind was disturbed as soon as bhavya entered . pinky saw her son's reaction and chuckled ,

pinky  (self thought ) : there love story will be one hell of a love story . thank god my son's will get there happy ending and i will make sure all my children have there happy ending . 

pinky thought this eyeing omkara who was busy glaring at dadi .

pinky chuckled , she love her omkara very much and will do anything to keep him happy . she need to talk to shakti .

BHAVYA  : good morning everyone !

everyone cheerfully greeted her except rudra and dadi .

DADI : who r u ? 

dadi asked rudely .

she was getting annoyed , these days all charity cases are entering oberoi mansion without her permission .

bhavya was taken aback by dadi's rudeness , she was about to say something but was disturbed by a voice ,

RUDRA : she is priyanka's friend dadi and i want you to respect her  . why do u have to be so rude everytime  ?????

rudra didn't like dadi's tone with bhavya .

bhavya was again shocked for the second time in a matter of 5 min . rudra was supporting her .

SHIVAAY : she is gonna stay here only dadi . she is like a sister to me and om just like priyanka i think i have made myself very clear  .

shivaay was very serious in the starting but eventually a smiled played on his lips once he mentioned that bhavya was like there sister , rudra became restless immediately thats why he mentioned his and om's name . he saw relief on rudra's face . 

bhavya was very touched , she already love shivaay bhaiya but om bhaiya is yet to discover .

BHAVYA : namaste dadi ! my name is bhavya i am priyanka's friend , i am an orphan but but but .....i am self sufficient and i rather take my job very seriously , really thanks for the great welcome by your side .

all were blown away by her reply ,

pinky and shakti looked at each other , pinky's eyes were twinkling 

SHAKTI (whispering) : bang on analysis , she is best for rudra i like her already ......

PINKY : i can't believe all our children are of marriage age only priyanka is left , i so wish she finds her match as soon as possible . 

DADI was perplexed ,

shivaay and anika exchanged looks , anika was actually confused she needs to talk to shivaay .

in all this mess nobody observed priyanka passing her mobile to omkara .

omkara smirked , its like his mini revenge from dadi .

OMKARA : by the way dadi bhavya pratap rathode is the new ACP of mumbai saying so he passed priyanka's phone to dadi who was already  slipping off her chair .

all were astonished with the new found information . especially rudra , he was actually proud why ? i think he still need to figure that out :P 

just then ragini enters :

DADI : oh come ragini beta , sit beside shivaay thats the place where you belong .

anika and shivaay very stunned by dadi's stunt , ragini gave her sick smile and tried to move towards shivaay's side shivaay was about to protest but suddenly they saw ragini falling flat on floor and bhavya helping her get up . rudra could not control his laughter he laughed out loud with priyanka .

BHAVYA : look where you are going miss !  it could be a dead end or worst anyone else territory .

bhavya said meaningfully looking at shivaay and anika , she winked at anika , anika gave her full blown smile to bhavya .

RAGINI : its ok i think i slipped because of something on floor , 

said an embarrassed ragini .

shivaay got his clue and left the table immediately .

DADI : its ok ragini . come sit we have to discuss your marriage preparation as all are present here only .

SHAKTI : what marriage ?

DADI : shivaay's marriage shakti , that too in 8 days .

SHAKTI : and u don't think its important for you to discuss my son's marriage with me maa ?

shakti was at the end of his patience know what is happening in this house first he is worried sick for anika and know shivaay . 

pinky hold his hand under the table to calm him and said .

PINKY : do whatever you want mother - in - law i am getting late for my meeting . 

SHAKTI : wait pinky i am also coming with you need to discuss about the meeting with you ,

 said shakti sarcastically .

before leaving both looked at om and anika and signalled them to leave the breakfast table that instance .

both follow there orders like obedient kids .

RAGINI : SEE dadi nobody likes me ... she said mock hurt in her voice .

DADI : you don't worry ragini just try getting close to shivaay and yeah just keep that anika away from shivaay i don't trust her .

RAGINI : but she is married na dadi ?

DADI : yeah but still staying here for 3-4 days . she can manipulate shivaay .

RAGINI : i won't let that happen dadi no worries . after 8 days ill be mrs shivaay singh oberoi .

DADI : god bless you .... 

RAGINI (self thought) : just wait and watch old hen just 8 days then u will be in old age home with your son and daughter - in- law . 

..............................................................................

SHAKTI : what is happening in this house pinky ? why are you so calm ? shivaay will be married to nagini in 8 days ....

PINKY : ragini not nagini .... smiled pinky , although she is a snake but still why take wrong name ?

SHAKTI : whatever ... you are not worried about shivaay ?

PINKY : nope i trust my son , i know for him love and family come first he is not like me . 

pinky was about to leave 

SHAKTI : i knew about your and abhishek's love story ...

said shakti out of blue ,

pinky was shocked first but then she composed herself and said ,

PINKY : it was not a love story shakti , it never was , i was way too selfish to even love anyone . abhishek loved me truly but i ditched him . i got married to you just for convenience , i thought for living a happy married life i have to find someone who was well settled and rich , how wrong i was . but trust me shakti when i say that i was too young to decide what love was at that time . i never betrayed you infact when i first saw abhishek years after with little anika i was about to tell you but he stopped me . i never loved anyone shakti , i thought i was not capable of love but ....

pinky was cut short .....

SHAKTI : when abhishek told me about your relation , i was mad pinky , i was guilty but abhishek told me that it was never love , if you loved abhishek enough u would have being with him only . but it never happened . you know why me and abhishek were great friends that was because he was the only one who understood my loneliness . being rich does guarantee u a crowd but a true friend is very rare to found . abhishek was that rare friend to me . i never distanced myself from you because of your past , i did that because i never wanted maa to bother you with her nonsense talks thats why i decided to let you handle the business and me the kids , but today while looking at our kids pinky i realised what a great disaster we have done . we failed being best parents because we were never best partners . 

pinky was crying by know , what have they done to there life , there 27 years of married life ?

SHAKTI : i have realised one more thing pinky , i don't know about you but i loved you always . you are the best mother i could ask for our kids , u loved om as your own ,

PINKY : he is mine snapped pinky , pouted cutely and rubbed her eyes to stop her tears .

SHAKTI : ok ok he is yours . all i am saying is me , our kids , our future daughter-in-laws , our future son-in-law , this house , all is yours never think that you are not meant for love . we all love you truly because you are gem of a person the only thing which we lack was lack of communication , but pinky know i don't want that i want to the best father but for that i need you as my support my better half will you help me ?

PINKY : YOU are so bad old man in 27 years of married life i was alone but u never make me cry but today u are asking for my support and u make me cry . pouted pinky cutely.

SHAKTI : oh gosh i love this child women !

PINKY : same goes to u too OLD MAN ! correction MY OLD MAN ! 

saying that both laughed out loud . both were ready for there 2nd innings and were more then willing to be the best parents of the world ! 

..................................................................................

shivaay's room :

ANIKA : shivaay what will you do about ragini ? 

SHIVAAY : don't worry nothing will happen , you trust me na ?

ANIKA : ALWAYS !
