*Third Person's POV*:-

"Nishtha kaha hain, Ranvijay ?," Gayatri devi's voice rang across the living room startling everyone. Ranvijay who was drinking water chked on it and spilled the water on his laptop while Veer fell down from the sofa.

"Ranvijay aap se kuch puch rahi hu main ! Nishtha kaha hain ?," (Ranvijay I am asking you something ! Where is Nishtha ?) Gayatri devi asked glaring at Ranvijay's perplexed look.

"Na..nani !," Ranvijay stuttered and others had their jaws touch the ground seeing Ranvijay lost for words.

Meanwhile Viraj just smirked while reading the newspaper, he very well knew what a lady don his mother-in-law was. He had been experiencing this fear for 32 years of his marriage with Naina.

"Where is Nishtha ?," Gayatri devi shouted and everyone turned frantic.

Everyone looked at one another for answer until Meera replied, "Bhabhi hospital gayi hain. She didn't get leaves." (Sister-in-law has went to the hospital.)

Gayatri devi nodded and everyone sighed before getting back to their works. Just a few seconds of silence was again broken.

"Ranvijay go pick up Nishtha right now. Shaam ko mangani hain devar ki. Aur inhe kuch fikr hi nahi.," (It's her brother-in-law's engagement in the evening and she is not even worried about it.) Gayatri devi said pacing around the hall.

"Nani sa I have an urgent meeting to attend. Why don't I send a driver ?," Ranvijay reasoned, keeping his side of mic shut. He already was forced to sit amongst everyone and attend the meeting from home. But skipping the meeting was impossible.

"Thik hain phir. Jamai sa !," Gayatri devi called out to Viraj who instantly stood up and out aside his newspaper and tea.

"Itna toh main Major ke chillane par nahi darta tha jitna bhai sa dar rahe hain.," Virat whispered.

"Did Nani sa indirectly call Baba a driver ?," muttered Rudra with a blank face but the amusement lacing his tone caused Veer and Ekansh to stifle their laughter, seeing the 'Jamai sa' this scared of their Dadi sa and Nani sa.

"Yes Ma," Gayatri devi rolled her eyes at the loud voice. "Viraj Jamai sa, can you please go and pick Nishtha up ? It's already after past noon and she isn't home yet.," Gayatri devi specified.

Though confused at the sudden intructions but what more could Viraj do rather than nod ?

"Jhoru ki mummy ke gulaam," (Slave of your mother-in-law) Ranvijay whispered rolling his eyes at his dad.

"Tumhari baari aane do beta ji, tab dekhenge kaun kiska gulaam banta hain.," (Let your turn come son, then we will see who is the slave.) Viraj whispered in Ranvijay's ears as he passed behind the sofa.

Viraj drove the car to the hospital address Meera had sent him and waited out. He had taken Nishtha's number from Meera and already texted her about his presence.

Within a few minutes of wait Viraj saw Nishtha come out of the glass doors of the hospital. Viraj was about to bring his car out when his eyes fell on the man behind Nishtha who was calling her out.

Anger bubbled inside Viraj at the sight of the old acquaintance, his hand gripped the steering wheel tighter as he saw the interaction between Nishtha and the man.
