8 months before...

The Arora household's dinning table was all set up for a big afternoon feast. Dushyant and kavin seated on the opposite sides of the table, casually chatting and giggling, as sameer was completely disinterested to be here. Meanwhile, neelu arrived in her wheelchair, as ishita had just arrived with the casserole in her hand, full of chappatis, she bent down to touch neelu's feet. 

"arre kya kar rahi ho!" exclaimed neelu, immediately moving her wheelchair back, confusing ishita, as kavin, dushyant and sameer's glance moved over to them. 

"mummy ji main toh bas..." attempted ishita to respond, completely puzzled at this point. 

"rakho usse table pe!" commanded neelu, as ishita immediately kept the casserole on the dinning table, and even purvi arrived by this point. 

"abhi-abhi honeymoon se aayein hai dono, chouda pehne hue usse kaam karwana acha lagta hai!" scolded neelu, as purvi placed her hands on her hips and stared at ishita.

"maine bhi isko yahi bola! ab humne bulaya hai tumhe, baith jao aur khaalo shaanti se par nahi!" argued purvi, as now they both were glaring at ishita. 

"mummy ji main ghar pe toh kaam karti hi hoon, yeh bhi toh mera ghar hi hai.." responded ishita with a light chuckle, as neelu glared at dushyant. 

"shabash! tu bhi apne baap pe hi gaya hai! saara kaam biwi se karwata hai!" rebuked neelu, as dushyant scoffed. 

"mereko kuch mat bolo, yeh toh ek plate maggie bhi khilati hai, toh uske baad saare bartan mujhse dhulwati hai.." remarked dushyant, as ishita looked at him in disbelief. 

"aur maine tumse aisa kya ghar ka kaam karwaliya? khaana hi toh banana hota tha!" argued sameer, as kavin patted on his shoulder, and signaled him to just let it go and not argue with them. 

"isne toh meri maa ko bhi mere khilaaf kardiya hai, dono aurtein mere pe zulm karke kaam karwati hai ghar ka...yeh toh phir bhi uski hi maa, aap kyun panga le rahe ho?" advised kavin, as purvi looked at him in disbelief.

"yahan toh tumne bol diya, abhi dekhna beta hoga na mera, woh batayega tumhe jab mujhe aisa kuch bologe...." retorted purvi, as kavin just took a long, deep sigh. 

"mere bete ke paas toh tum log aana hi mat! batao mere dukh ke saathi ko bhi apni side mein karne mein lagi hui ho!" argued kavin, as dushyant raised his brow.

"ek second, abhi kahan se tum dono ka beta aa gaya?"  questioned dushyant, as purvi and kavin exchanged a shy smile, ishita looked at purvi as if asking if she was really pregnant, to which purvi nodded in agreement. 

"actually, hum sabne isliye hi aap logon ko aaj lunch pe bula liya, ki jaise hi dushyant aur ishita lautein honeymoon se, toh hum batayein aap sabko ek saath...uhh, main baap banne waala hoon..." stated kavin, as everyone was shocked and happy at the same time. 

"chal saale ab uth bhi ja, gale nahi lagna!" exclaimed dushyant getting up from his seat with a huge smile, as kavin reciprocated with a giant one too, while they hugged,and dushyant patted kavin's back in it. 

"congratulations! ab tujhe sach mein pata chalne waala hai ki purvi kitna bada sardard hai..." remarked dushyant, as purvi glared at him. 

"ishita, please puri duniya pe meherbaani karke inke saath bacha mat karna, bhagwaan bhi resign kardein inke jaisi ek aur galti ko dekh kar!" retorted purvi, as neelu rolled her eyes. 

"tum dono sharam karlo thodi, shaadiyan ho gayi hai, ek ke bacha ho raha hai, par abhi bhi 10 saal ke bachon ki tarah harkatein karte ho!" rebuked neelu.
