["Sidanth Chopra", a prosperous, handsome elite class successor of Chopra family, residing in London, is stuck in a world of question and uncertainty..!
While,
"Shanaya Agarwal," a beautiful, talented Indian artist known for her commendable painting...
"Aap log baithiye..main abhi Sidanth ko bulake lati hoon! So raha hoga..!.. says Mom..
"Aunty rukiye.. Sidanth ko maat bulaiye! Humein aap se baat karni hai!"... Says Shanaya..
Maya Mom becomes a little curious..
"Haan ji..".. she sits on the bed before Nikhil and Sonam..
"Main Nikhil hoon Aunty, Shanaya ka Bhai aur ye Sonam, my wife.."
"Hello beta! Sorry Shanaya ne pehle se kuch bola nehi toh I wasn't prepared.."
"Nehi nehi Aunty.. humein actually aap hi se baat karni hai..".. says Sonam..
"Haan ji beta bolo.."
"Aunty kal raat Shanaya ghar laut k bohot padeshan thi. On asking her, she informed us about your health issues. Lekin aap padeshan maat hona, we are not going to say a word to Sidanth. Isiliye taki usse shak na ho, hum apni beti ko school drop karke straight idhar agaye.."
"Okay..but beta baat kya hai? "
"Main batati hoon..".. Shanaya moves forward to sit, close next to her..
"My Mom passed away when I was only 14! Tabse Bhaiya hi sab kuch hai mere leye! I couldn't do anything for her! Aur aaj Bhagwan ne mujhe second chance diya hai and I want to use that wisely!"
Mom is still confused and looking at all of them to read their eyes..
"Aunty kal tak main darti thi ki jab Sidanth chala jayega wapas London, how am I going to survive?! But I never knew God always keeps his best plan for you! Sidanth ki jaan basti hai aap mein! Aur usmein meri! If anything happens to you, he will break! Isiliye maine Bhaiya ko mana liya hai, after he leaves for London, I will come to Mumbai to live with you. Jo Sidanth ko karna chahiye, as his to be partner, woh main karungi! I want to take care of you! Aur mujhe yeh haq chahiye!".. Shanaya says what she had to say with utter conviction that leaves Maya teary!! 🥺
(P.S: I absolutely adore the way Shehnaaz and Aunty have taken over the responsibilities of each other! Regardless, of having a family in Punjab, she chose her over them! Surreal man! No words! I would bow down before these two ladies at any given time!)
"Ma..in kya bol..un?"...she stumbles on her words..
Shanaya holds her into a hug...."You had been fighting alone! I can't even imagine how strong you are! It must have been so painful! Aaj se aap ho meri Idol, my super Mom!"...she smiles and kisses on her cheek..🥺💞
"Mera Sidanth sach kehta hai! Tere sath uska kuch alag hi hai! Kuch alag hi hai!"...she takes her to her embrace..❤️
"Aap ko pata hai Aunty! Main hamesha se sochta tha, if I am going to get a good partner for her or not, kyunki yeh dil ki bohot achhi hai! Lekin aaj Sidanth aur aap ko dekhneke baad mera bhi yeh manna hai ki inka kuch alag hi hai!"...Nikhil says spontaneously..
"Lekin beta Sidanth told me about your higher studies..uska kya? Life mein practical hona bhi toh zaroori hai na?"
"Karungi na..! Ofcourse karungi..lekin abhi main khud mentally prepared nehi hoon iske leye! Main jaungi lekin mere sath aap aur Sidanth bhi jayenge..so let's wait for the right time..".. Shanaya's confidence is something amazing to witness!
Meanwhile, Shanaya's phone rings..it's Sidanth..
"Sidanth ka call hai..ek second aap log baat kijiye..I will just come.."..she goes outside in the balcony to receive the call..
"Hello..?"
"I love you!"...says Sidanth being a complete love sick puppy..
"Haaye haaye! Dil pe baja!"...Shanaya giggles..
"Romance ka ma behen kaise karte hai yeh tumse sikhna chahiye!"...Sidanth chuckles..
"Yeh dekho..kisne kaha isko Hindi nehi aati..!"..Shanaya plays along..
"Hmm..."..he sounds super enticing in the morning..
"Sunoooo!"..Shanaya stresses on the word..
"Sunaoooo?"...he replies..😂
"Main thodi der baad call karti hoon.."
"Kyun? No! Talk to me!"
"Baby..5 mins baas..I will be back.."
"Theek hai, take your time, I will just go and check on Mom"
"Arehh nehiiii! Ruko!"
"Ab kya hua?"
"Tum thodi der mere leye room mein ruk nehi sakte?"..she deliberately tries to be cute..😂
"Drama Queen, chal kya raha hai dimaag mein..aaj bhi surprise dene ka plan hai?"
"Shayed!"
"Toh phir be ready to witness the wild Sidanth! I am still not over with that saree look of yours!"
"Sidanth..5 mins..bye..stay in the room.."
"Okay!"
*********************
Shanaya comes back to the room and asks her Bhaiya and Bhabi to go downstairs..
"Nikhil and Sonam, tum log mere sath breakfast karoge.."..says Maya Mom..
"Aunty hum log breakfast kar chuke hai!"
"Main kuch nehi sunna chahti hoon, chalo mere sath..!"
"Lekin Sidanth..?"..asks Nikhil..
"Yeh sambhal legi!"...replies Maya Mom..
