Shekhawat Mansion, New York.
"Theek hein Dubey Ji. Agar woh case karna chaahtha hein, toh hum bhi chup nahi rahenge. Usko samjhaayenge ki Shekhawat ke khilaaf jaane par kya hota hein. Aap bad sab tayyaar rakhiye. Aaj shaam mulaakaath honge. Rakhthi hun. Namaste." Nandini Shekhawat hung up the phone.

The elderly women yet amazingly beautiful for her age, wore a long red Saree, nice gold bangles and bracelets in her hands, eyes neatly lined with a black liner, lips reddened with the matching shade of red lipstick and beautiful round earrings pierced in her ears.

"...SWAYAM!" She called out aloud.

" Bhaiyya baahar gaye Ma! Abhi nikle..." Taani said as she came down from the staircase with a book in her hand.

"Bina naasthe ke? .......RONY!!" She called out for their servant.

"Nahi Ma woh, bhai naastha saath leke gaye hein..." Taani said.

"Achcha.. Theek hein phir..." Nandini was interrupted in between.

"Jee Madam!" Rony came in.

"Haan Rony! Swayam kaunsi gaadi mein gaye?"

"Jee madam safed BMW mein...!"

"Humaari gaadi start rakho, iski Tauji se kuch kaam hein..."

"Jee Madam!" He went out quickly.

"Taani! Toh mein keh rahi thi ki tum apni bhai ko bata dena ki aaj shaam ki party ke baare mein."

"Ma aapko pata hein ki bhai ko parties achche nahi lagthe... Abhi tak ek bhi party humaare saath nahi aaya hein..."

"Isliye mein use saath leke jaane ki soch rahi thi. Taani tumhe use manaane hogi."

"Bhai meri nahi sunti Ma... Aur phir kuch na kuch kaaran bataake mujhe bhi apne side mein kar lenge..." Taani sat down along with Nandini.

"Lekin iss baar aisa nahi hoga... Kyunki joh cheez mere bete ko sabse pasand hein, wahi aaj raat pehli baar humaare party mein ho raha hein!" She crossed her hands with a small smile forming on her face.
