Karva chauth celebrations

Hame tasalli hai kamse kam aap humari baat manati hai. Ek baar Khushi ko hum raste se hata de toh chote bhi sunege humari.

Bt dadi aap log toh sirf unke bache ko marne wale hai na.

Ha bitya socha toh wahin tha. But kya fayda woh wapas garbhwati ho jayegi aur hume wapas apne haath gande karne padenge. Hum kissa hi khatam karna chahte hai. Shyam ko humne sab samjha diya hai.

Anjali looks at Dadi with wide eyes.

Aap kyu pareshan ho rahi hai Anjali. Aapko kahin sahanubhuti toh nai ho rahi.

Anjalis expression changes to smirk.

Nai dadi. Aacha hai Khushi k wajah se humare pati aur bhai dono chin gaye. Aacha hai. Par Shyamji karne kya wale hai.

Batate hai.

Dadi looks around and closes door and window. And tells Anjali the plan in muffled voice.

........

Arnav gets the tampered medicines and replaces it with new ones. When he feels a hand on his shoulder. He freezes.

Arnavji aap kya kar rahe hai.

Arnav just looks at her shocked.

Kya hua aap toh aise dar rahe jaise humne aapko chori karte hue pakad liya hai.

Nai Khushi bas tumhari medicine dekh raha tha. Tumne li nai na aaj.

Humne toh leli medicine. Di aayi thi dene subah.

What?

Khushi maine tumhe mana kiya tha na aise kuch khane. And tum dawai dopehar k khane baad leti ho toh pehle kaise leli

Ha par Arnavji di k haath se toh hum kuch bhi kha sakte hai. And di leke aayi toh humne kha li.

Khushi. Leave it. Please doctor k pass chalo tum.

Arre bt kyu

Main bol raha hu isliye.

Two hours later, when they come back.

Arnavji, kyu itna tension le rahe hai aap. Doctor ne kahan na sab thik hai.

Ha Khushi I am sorry. Main dar gaya tha.

Khushi senses some tension and tries to lighten the mood.

Aise nai chodenge. Aapko hume kuch dena hoga.

Khushi mera sab toh tumhara hai. Aur kya de sakta hu main tumhe.

Karva chauth ka tofa.

Ohh..

Aap bhul gaye na. Pata tha hume. Aap toh aniversary bhi bhul jate hai. Humara birthday bhi.

She turns facing away from Arnav. When she feels him come near her and covers her eyes.

Yeh kya hai Arnavji. Kya kar rahe aap.

Shhh.. relax..

He guides her to her wardrobe. He opens the wardrobe. And uncovers her eyes. As she sees the wardrobe she sees all new clothes.

Arnavji yeh kya hai.

Khushi tumhe ap tumhare purane kapde pehne taklif hoti hai. Isliye maine mere designer k pass maternity line banwayi hai. Khas tumhare liye. Yeh kapde jyada tight nai isliye tumhe comfortable lagega aur baby ko bhi.
