1. THE CONFRONTATION AND COMFORT

PS: From the precap, when we see Maya insulting Kulshrestha's, but what if Gungun comes from behind and hear her arguments with them.

-----------------------------------------------------------

Maya and Riddhesh stepped inside the Saraswati Nivas, as Riddhesh introduced Maya to Anubhav and the whole family who were present there along with Charudatt, "Yeh hain Dr. Maya, Gungun ki Mom."

Everyone smiled looking at Maya as they welcomed her, when Anubhav went closer to her, as he bent down to take her blessings and touch her feet, and said, "Namaste!"

Maya immediately stepped back as she said, "Thanks, but don't. Yeh sab bohot outdated practices hain..."

As Riddhesh introduced Anubhav to Maya as he said, "Yeh hai Anubhav."

Maya shortly smiled at him, as the others asked them to get seated, when Chandragupt spoke up, "Chavvi, Neeti jaake Chachi ke liye juice leaao..."

"Chachi!?" exclaimed a bewildered Maya, as she took a moment to compose herself as she replied, "Aap log mujhe Maya bula sakte hain, instead of anything else...."

Riddhesh slightly shook his head disappointedly, as Goli replied coming forward, "Maya ji, humare yahaan toh postman ko bhi Chacha kehte hain aur dukaandaar wale ko bhi Bhaiya. Hum toh unke saath bhi rishta jod lein jinse hum mile bhi nahi, lekin aapse toh pehle se hi ek rishta hai...."

Maya smiled fakely looking at Goli, when Neeti and Chavvi came back, and handed over the juice to Riddhesh and Maya as Maya questioned Anubhav, "Riddhesh ne mujhe btaya ki tum Scientist ho?'

"Ji haan." replied Anubhav with a decent smile.

Maya smiled as she said, "Yaani tum bhi abroad shift hone ka soch rhe hoge, right?"

"Ji nahi." Anubhav replied straight leaving Maya startled as she enquired, "Lekin kyun? India ke 99% Scientist abroad shift hona chahte hain kyunki vahaan scope hai...."

"Humare Anu ko America ki bohot badi company se job offer hua tha lekin usne mana krdiya." said Charudatt, much to Maya's displeasure as she turned to Anubhav.

Maya took a moment as she said, "But vahaan pe kaafi scope hai."

"Aur main yahaan scope banana chahta hoon, Scientist hoon Ma'am, practical decision hai mera, meri family ke saath rehne ka...." said Anubhav in a taunting tone.

Maya this time turned to Riddhesh who was drinking juice, as she said, "Aise logon ke saath tumne Gungun ka rishta tay kiya hai. Jab yeh log mujhe aise treat kr rhe hain so I can imagine ki meri Beti ko kaise treat krenge..."

Anubhav interrupted Maya, not letting her complete as he said, "Jab aapki beti yahaan aati hai tab voh sabko respect deti hai, aur jo hume respect deta hai hum unki respect vapis bhi krte hain."

Maya turned to Riddhesh as she said in a louder voice, "I still don't understand ki Riddhesh tum Gungun ka rishta es parivaar mein kaise kra sakte ho!?"

While Anubhav who was standing with Yug said, "Toh phir aap ek baar mein bol kyun nahi deti ki aapko yeh rishta krwana hai ya nahi?" whereas Maya replied, testing his patience, "Sochke btayenge."

Till now Riddhesh who was quiet got up and looking at Maya he said, "Esme decide krne ki koi baat nahi hai. Yeh rishta already fix ho chuka hai." Whereas Maya frowned as she said, "Lekin mujhe yeh parivaar pasand nahi hai!"
