Khushi : Gosh .. I should not have gone with you ...Can you believe these two were all awake taking the whole house on head ... ( she let out a sigh ) Now look at them how innocent they look ...

Panchi : So you are not liking your stay over there ? Sasuraal pasand nahi aa raha hai kya ?
Khushi : It's not like that ... Everyone seems to be nice except Arnav's mami .. She is very peculiar .... and my kids will run their nose ino her matters ... Arnav himself does not have any good rapport with his Mama and Mami ..
Panchi : I know .. Aman has told me once ....So what about your Blogging ? You have not upload anything for few days ..

Khushi : You think I am going tolerate the black spot in my household for long ... Let Raj handle her ...
Panchi : khushi you should speak about your insecurities with ASR first .. Why I think this is going to create a big impact on your marriage ... Hope I might be wrong ...
Khushi : Unko pata chalega tab nah kuch bolenge ... It won't be reaching his ears soon ..and I request you please don't open your mouth infront of Aman too ...
Panchi : Be assured ... ( She let out a sigh ) But is it a right decision to destroy someone's career like this .. Dekh tujhe jo thik lage ...
Khushi : Do you think I am a wicked witch here ? ... but then I am left with no option ... I cannot ignore her anymore ...It's enough ...
Khushi said rolling her eyes as she stood up from the bed

Anjali : Where are the kids ? They are not been seen around
Khushi : They have gone out to have Coconut water with their Papa ... Dusro ke ghar mein Chocolates lekar jhagra hota hai par mere ghar mein Naryal Paani ko lekar  ...

Don't you see in News Paper .. jaise look at our Arnav Bitwa .. we hardly get to know when he divorce his first wife and got  married again ... Shaadi bhi ki hogi na tum dono ne 
Khushi closed her eyes feeling humliated as Mami shrugged her shoulder walking away as Anjali placed her palm on her shoulder
Anjali : Please don't take her words by heart .. She is not bad by heart ..
Khushi : don't worry I know the way all the  five fingers of our hand are not same similiary everyone in family has a different openions ..And we have to walk together accepting it .. That is what family is .. ( She smiled before she heard  her kids voice ) Kids have returned ...

The whole family has gathered around the living room along with the Bride Family who have come and was discussing on the marriage dates with the family ...
Nani being the head of the family was conversing with the Bride's gurdian who is her Uncle while Manorama Mami never left a chance  to make them aware about the differences in their standards
Nani : Anjali Chotte kaha hai abhi tak aye nahi ..?
Anjali : They are coming ... Aru was getting cranky ..thus it took time ..
Nani :  I was talking about the elder son of this house ..Apparently my Elder grandson and his family are here among us today ... lo here they came .. Aiye chotte .. Meet him .. He is Sashi ji Payel's Bare Papa ...
Arnav frowned looking at the elderly couple in front of him ..  the faces seems to be very familiar .   He have seen then  somewhere ,but where .?
Something struck into his mind before he find his wife clutching his arms tightly ... Shit !! Holy Fuck.  . He looked up at his wife who stood numb loosing all the color from her face ...
Akash is getting married to none other than Khushi's cousin Payal ..
Mami : Arnav bitwa we are waiting for you only ..what are you staring at them Gupta ji .. He is my nephew ... and she  his wife .Khushi ..They are a very big name of Bollywood ..

Anjali : Do you people know each other ( Anjali asked observing the way they are staring at each other ) You are also from himanchal  pradesh Hai nah Khushi ..
Khushi herself don't know how to react on the situation .. She opened her mouth to say something ...but it was Mami who interupt ..
Mami : Anjali .. Arnav bitwa is a global star who will not know him ?
Sashi : We have seen them on TV ... Payal must be taken back by surprise seeing the celebrety couple here ..
Garima : We are just ordinary people how would we know them .. Namaste  ( she greeted joining her palm together )
Arnav just looked at them bewildered! How cannot they recognise their daughter ...isn't this going too far
Khushi let out a sigh before her eyes fell on Arshi and Musky who were about to reach Payal .. They must be excited to meet the bride but she cannot let her kids to humilated .
She instantly hold the kids from going there eyeing them who lowers their eyes ..
Khushi : Kids .. you should not loiters around that is a very bad habit ...Anjali Himachal Pradesh mein kya mein sabko pehchanungi ...I left that city and the people over there long back .. 
Nani : Chotte ..  Come and join us we are finalising on the marriage date ..

Khushi : Akash .. It seems your inlaws doesn't like our presence here ... Dekhiyega Gupta ji ..  Yeh iss Ghar ke bare Bete hai ..soch samjh ke boliyega inke baare mein  ..akhir apke beti ka hone wala sasural hai ..
