"Bela... Are you out of your mind??"
"Bela... Are you serious?"
Vishakha and Anushka asks in shock, their eyes out of the socket and jaw dropped, both were replicating each other's expression as Bela tells them about her going in SS Palace as a governess.
"How?"
"Why?"
"Because I thought I would prove Baba that he's not good for me.......... but then.........", Bela narrates them about everything happened in SS Palace while coming to the end, tears make their way down her cheeks.
"Oh God Bela!! That bastard!!"
"I will kill him!!"
"How dare he?"
"Thanks God Jeeju saved you!"
Vish and Anu hugs her, making her sandwich.
"I'm sorry Vish! Maine tumhara name use kiya SS Palace jaane ke liye..", Bela sniffles.
"It's okay Babes! Chhod na. I'll manage.", Vish smiles assuringly at her.
"But Bela! Mere yeh baat samjh nahi aayi ki tumne Mahir Sehgal ka rishta yeh soch kar thukrana chaha ki apko rural environment mein nahi jaana..", Anu asks in shock.
"Anu! First of all! It's Mahir Shekhawat not Sehgal and second thing..", Bela says.
Anu cuts her off - "Oh please Bela! Don't say that you don't know, he's Mahir Sehgal who won Entrepreneur of the Year. And it's Shekhawat Mahir Sehgal, not Mahir Shekhawat..", Anu rolls her eyes.
Bela looks at her in shock and gasps.
"What??"
"NOOO!!"
Vish and Anu jumps up horrified on seeing her horrified expression.
"Main sach mein nahi jaanti thi..", Bela whispers as tears roll down her eyes.
"Kaash! Main wahan nahi jaati toh aaj itna dara hua feel nahi karti.. Ab main kya chehra dikhaungi sabko kal..", Bela cries.
"Koi baat nahi Bela. Kuch nahi hoga. Hum hain na tumhare saath.", Anu hugs her, wiping her tears.
"Arey pagal! Tu yeh soch ke itna dull chehra lekar jayegi sabke saamne. Especially Jeeju ke saamne.. Zara aaina dekh toh..", Vish teases her.
Bela goes to mirror and looks at herself. Dull skin, dry hairs!! Without wasting a moment, she quickly dials on phone and takes an appointment of parlour. Her mind replayed what he said about Mrinal, achchi, genuine aur beautiful.
Uday and Anushka had come India two days aback. Bela was so ecstatic on meeting her sister cum bestie after a long time. She was going to stay here till her supposed wedding.
Uday had called Bela to know her answer within an hour after reaching India, "I hope beta! Aapne apna faisla le liya hoga. Bahot hi der lagayi aapne par ab jaldi se humein apni rai confirm kar dijiye..", his eyes were shining to know.
"Baba! What the difference in yours and mine decision! Whatever you decide, main inqaar nahi kar sakti. Mujhe aapke faisle pe pura yaqeen hai.. umm.. Main raazi hoon, Baba!!", she told him in low voice, looking down.
Uday hugged her in happiness - "Jeeti raho beta! Maa-baap ke faisle mein uparwale ki razamandi shaamil hoti hai.. Maa-baap apne bachchon ke sahi faisla hi karte hai. Humesha khush raho.. Mahir tumhe bahot khush rakhega. Main jaanta hoon use!!", his words were laced with satisfaction.
Sometimes later, he told Bela that Shekhawats would come to meet them after two days - "Woh sab tumse milna chahte, tumhe dekhna chahte hain.."
From that she was worked up how to meet them after the blunder mistake she did due to going there as a maid. Eventually, seeing her in worry, Anushka asked her about the matter and at last she called Vishakha to tell both of them the truth.

"Mahir!! Tumhare liye ek khushkhabri hai!", Paridhi beams in cheerfully the moment Mahir steps in the living room.
"What??", Mahir makes a confusing face.
"Mahir beta! Uday Bhaisahab ne phone kiya tha..", Sumitra says but Pari chimes in - "Tayyar ho jao apni dulhaniya se milne ke liye.."
Mahir looks at her bewildered.
"Bela ne haan kar di hai.", Sumitra informs looking at his expressions.
"We will be going day after tomorrow to meet her.", Andy says sipping his tea.
"I'm glad that we are having Bela as your wife. Uday ki beti humare ghar ki chhoti bahu banegi.", he smiles and then drowning in the memories he says - " Sumi tumhe yaad hai, Megha bhabi chahti thi ki jab woh badi ho toh uski shaadi isi ghar mein ho."
"Jee Andy! Par unke jaane ke baad sab kitna badal gaya. Uday Bhaisahab Dubai shift ho gaye aur hum apni life mein itne busy ho gaye ki kabhi Bela ko dekha hi nahi. I'm very excited to meet her.", Sumitra says with a sad smile.
"Yeah Sumi! But ab se woh humari bhi beti hai. Tumhe usko ek Maa ki tarah pyaar karna hai..", Andy says her while Sumitra looks at him in shock and says, "Do you really need me to tell this? I'll love her so much that you'll watch!"
"Haan bhai! Mujhe bhi ek Behan mil jayegi. I'm also very excited.", Paridhi says.
Mahir listens them silently with a small smile.
"Congratulations Bhai! Ab dekho tumhare bachelor wale din jaa rahe hain. Ab se tumhe control karne wali aane wali hai.", Ranvijay teases him.
"What do you mean? I control you?", Paridhi asks offended.
"Dad! Let's leave. Isse pehle ki jwalamukhi phatt jaye.", Ranvijay goes with Andy for office and everything laughs out loud.
Sobering up, Mahir says in a serious tone, "Mom, Bhabi!! I need to tell you something but please aap dono over react nahi karna aur kisiko mat batana......"

Sehgals has been here in Shergill Mansion for some pretty half and hour now. They were welcomed by Uday, Anushka while Yukti was looking after the preparations in kitchen.
Bela was all getting worked up in her room. She looks herself in mirror. After having a spa, she felt her old self was back.
The sound of laughter filled with jollity and delights were making her heart beat erratic.
"Bua kabhi bhi bulane aa jayengi.", she thinks and runs to the lawn through the back stairs followed by the balcony attached with her room. She sits on the bench.
"Kaash! Wahan nahi gayi hoti main toh aaj pure confidence se sabse mil rahi hoti.. Yoon munh chhupa kar yahan nahi baithna hota mujhe"
"Par agar jaati nahi toh yoon hi apne inqaar wale stupid decision pe atki rehti."
The dry leaves in the lawn crackled as someone walks over it. Bela comes out of her thoughts hearing the sound. She looks up and gasps in shock.
He is here..!!
"Hey! Kaisi ho??"
..................
