Ana and Rohit dined together and went to their love nest. Rohit slept immediately but Ana was feeling insecure. She immediately wanted her marriage to be registered. She wanted to throw a party. She spoke to lawyer JK and though he was a criminal lawyer,  he assured that all the legal procedure and dates he will finalise within a week's time. He had lot of hold in the legal world and Ana was happy. She started designing her wedding  invitation card and slept  with the rising dawn.

Poonam had cried the whole night but she told Sheena that her boss Abhimanyu is handsome. He is flriticious in nature. There is a strong friendly connection between them. She was getting positive vibes.

" Go date him. " Sheena was excited.

Poonam argued with her. More than 20 years she had given to Roh and in return she was kicked out.  Abhi will not date an Aunty kind of lady. His receptionist Miss Glady is like Priyanka Chopra.  She had her inferiority complex when she
looked into the mirror.

She had chubby cheeks and she was dieting these days

She had chubby cheeks and she was dieting these days. She had a guilt of hogging burgers and fries 🍟

Once, Nikki gets married, she decided to plan a fitness regime for her.  She was again thinking of Rohit. He is really fit and fine. He loved eating but he worked it out.  He was always referred to as Bani's brother by strangers.

"Ana is slim and beautiful. I am not attractive. " She cried and drank a quarter of Old Monk to induce sleep.

Early morning, unwillingly on Sheena's request she created profile on "Together." It was a famous marriage portal. Immediately a proposal popped up. It was from a divorcee. She declined. 

"I am mother of two grown up girls,  one is married and other is getting married. A grandma too.
" I will not get a good looking or a young husband. I should compromise but why?" She deleted her profile in frustration and decided she will remain single and she can't replace any other man with Rohit.

She  dressed up in a gown and was excited to join her office. She lied to Maa that she was going for an engagement party. Maa will not encourage her to work, she pondered. She was driving and in the short cut lane she saw Ana was waiting for someone. She looked beautiful in white gown while she sat on a road divider.

Poonam got down from her car and greeted her. They spoke for a while and a car honked.  Ana said a quick bye and sat in that car. Poonam thought it was Rohit.

To her surprise it was not Rohit

To her surprise it was not Rohit. She met him at the signal.

Poonam was confused 😕 who was the similar looking guy with Ana.  May be she hallucinated,she thought. It was JK and after all she did not know about him. 

She received a grand welcome at her office. But she was missing Abhi. He had gone to London for a week. Poonam was supposed to handle all his internal communications from India for Abhi. She was nervous. Her colleague Mrs Riya assured her that she will guide and assist her for a month. She need not worry and working here is lot of fun. She was introduced to all 50 people in a special induction followed by lunch.
Pooh was feeling more confident now.
She did not even understand that her office hours 10 to 4 is over.  She rushed home and wondered what should she lie next day?  Rohit had already told his mom about her job. Her mother in law was happy for her.
She wanted her daughter in law to disclose about her new happenings in life. Maa kept mum.

Nikki was going out and Poonam thought she was going to meet Takshu. She warned her daughter that it is not good to meet Takshu over and over.  They were still not engaged. 

"Maa I am going to meet Suhani. I am not that crazy to meet Tak -Tak. Bye. "
She ran out making a funny face.

Nikki was planning to meet Ana. She wanted to say Sorry to her for Bani's misbehaviour. She knew Bani was behaving stingy.  Ana had just used her bathroom and shampoo. The drain was clogged and Bani blamed Ana's hair for clogging. They fought, argued like cat and mouse. Bani insulted Ana. She called her step mom,  mistress and at last slut. Ana was really hurt and Nikki wanted to make her happy. She bought a box of muffins and a purse as a gift.  She went to love nest but Ana was not there.  Nikki waited for an hour at Pami aunty's house and aunty had eaten up all the muffins. Nikki was bit upset but Aunty treated her with Pizza. Aunty also gave her first night tips and Nikki was blushing.  Nikki bade bye to Aunty and was happy to see that Ana's door was unlocked.  She rang the doorbell.

Oops!  Rohit opened the door.

"What are you doing here Nikki?" Rohit questioned.

Nikki shared with dad about the Tom and Jerry fight over a cup of coffee.
Rohit understood why Ana behaved cranky since morning? Rohit thought it was pregnancy symptoms. Anger syndrome and frustration were making her stress levels go up. He was planning to take her to Qatar for holiday.  He had already booked tickets. Takshu's parents had a business tour and the engagement was fixed over phone in next 15 days. Rohit wanted to inform Poonam but she was rejecting his calls every now and then.

"Mere dono biwi - Pehle aur dussri mujhe gila kapda samjh ke tang deti hein dhoop mein sukhane. I am fed up." ( I am hanged like a wet cloth to dry by my Ex and current wife)  Rohit had just complained about it to his bestie Gurri. He was restless when both wives continuously rejected his calls,  more than 5 times. He had lost his patience but he had kept calm.

"Yaar tension mat le warna heart fail Ho jayega.  Tu tapak gaya toh mere saath sharab kaun peyega. " Gurri Paji had told him. (Don't stress or you may fall dead with heart attack).

Rohit had punched Gurri then. He did not even have a drop of alcohol.

"What if he really falls dead?" Scared him. He had then come to Love Nest for some peace. God had sent Nikki for his solace.

Rohit was upset and he asked Nikki baby to stay with him. She was very happy. She knew dad will sleep early and she decided to chill the night with Ana. They enjoyed each others company. They were friends though they had age gap.

" Niks, inform your mom. She don't receive my call."  Rohit commanded his daughter.

"Okies." She replied with a mischievous smile. 

She sat chatting with Suhani while Karthik was busy with patients. Ana was offline. She wondered where she was?

"Hey wait Ananya is here for check up and where is your dad? " Suhani yelled over the phone call.

"I think Ana did not tell him about the check up.  He should go with her but how would I tell this to my father. " Suhani disconnected the line as Karthik was calling the patients one by one.

Nikki did not have a clue that check up was just an excuse. Ana was there to ask payment from Suhani Khanna.

"Dad, Ananya... I mean..." She fumbled.

Rohit was baffled "What his daughter wanted to say?
