"Ji Maa ji... 4 saal pehle ek accident mein Manik coma mein chala gaya. Main usse lekar London chala gaya, ta ki voh jaldi se theek ho jaaye... uss vakt bhi hum apne Anurag ki khoj mein tha, tab ..... " Then Moloy told the entire story.
Kishori, Venkatesh, and Shanno are now in a mixture of emotions...
"Meri Nandu!....meri bachi kaisi hai?!, usne Manik ko dekha kya?!....Voh ab!!" Kishori asked in concern
"Haa, Ammaa, ab sab theekh hai.... Nandu bahut khush hai... aur jaise hi hume pata chala ki humara Sidhart hi Anurag hai, khushi toh dugni ho gaye"
"Nandu aur Sid kaha hai? aur Manik!!? .... nahi aaye?!" Shanno asked with expectation
"Bache...sab kal subah pahunch jaayenge" Moloy informed them
"Ab hum shaadi ke baat kare?!... do do shaadiya karwaana hai" Moloy lightened the situation
"Moloy beta.... Sidhart ko jab Ram ne pehli baar iss ghar mein le kar aaya, tab se lekar voh humara pota hai.... iss ghar mein jo bhi faisla hue hai, voh sab uske decisions ke mutabik hue hai.... aaj iss tarah achanak meri Sidhart ko Anurag bana liya!!,....matlab, main khush huki meri bache ko uska Maa-Baap mil gaya, par... humare liye voh humara Sidhart hi hai"
"Ji Maaji, hum samajte hai... isiliye hum yaha khud aaye hai....aap se dhanyavad bhi kehna hai...aur hum dono se zyaada uss par aap hi ka adhikaar rahega" Moloy said
Mohini felt a bit uncomfortable, with the above conversation. The selfish mother inside her made a bit sad feeling.

"Packing sab ho gaye na?!" Zubin asked
"Yeah, almost.... ladkiyon ke baare mein pata nahi"
"Hum toh kabse ready hai"
"Zubin, voh jo meeting tha, uska toh kal.."
"Don't worry Sid, main hu na... I'll handle it man.... tum befikr ho kar jaao, aur Amms se baat karo. Okay?!"
"Hmm... jaise hi meeting khatam ho, phir ek minute ke liye bhi yaha mat rukna... okay?!"
"Yes Boss... tum mujhe Mangalore mein dekhoge"
"Main bhi hu.... main bhi Zubin ke saath hi aa rahe hai" Anupam came there saying this, with Nivedita.
"Really?!, then toh mujhe company bhi mil gaya na... inn logon ko jaane do, hum aaraam se aayenge" Zubin and Anupam put their hands on each others shoulders.
"Tum log yaha baate kar rahe ho, flight ke liye late ho jaayenge....Chale?!" Prerna, Nandini, and Shivani came there with their luggages.
"Tum log yaha kyun aaya?!, hum raaste mein pick kar lete na?!" Manik asked them
"Aur ha Cabir, kya last vakt tickets cancel karwa sakte hai?! meri aur Anupam ki!" Zubin asked
"Of course, don't worry... main kar dunga, and tum log kal aa rahe ho na, so I will postpone your tickets."
"Cabir... tum airport authority ko apne haath mein liye hai kya!? kal se sunn raha hai!" Manik taunted him
"Ha ha ha!{Cabir laughed like a king}, Manik, tumhe yaad hai, Shahid, humare college mein tha!?...{then he turned to Nandini} Tumhe toh yaad hogi na, tum logon ki NH4 ki Shahid!"
"Haa!! Shahid... voh ab kaha hai?!... usne kaha tha ki voh college chod raha hai.... phir koyi ata pata nahi"
"Haa, vahi Shahid ab Airport mein work kar raha hai, Ticket department mein...ussi se kaam ho jata hai" Cabir raised his eyebrows in victory
"Hoo, Cabir... uss bechare ko abhi toh chod do.... tum Fab5 ke vajaise voh bichara suicide tak karne jaa raha tha,...tab Nandini aur maine usse bachaya tha" Navya said to everyone
"Haa, ragging kar kar ke ab dekho vahi tum logon ka kaam aa gaya" Nandini supported Navya
"Hmmm....ragging ke baat tum mat karo...ussi ragging ke vajaise hi ab hum Mangalore jaa rahe hai, shaadi karne" Manik teased Nandini
In between all these, Mukti dragged Zubin to one corner, without being noticed by anyone, except Aliya. Aliya confirmed her doubts seeing them and then smiled
"Arrey arrey...Ms.Sherni Vardhan, aap iss tarah mujhe yaha drag kar ke kya karne waali hai?! Dekho, meri shaadi nahi hua hai abhi tak" Zubin taunted her
"Oye, Chup kar... tumhare iss tedi dimaag mein bas yahi sochta hai kya?!"
Zubin laughed and then pulled her towards him, along with her angry actions, "Vaise...agar tum kuch karna chahti ho, toh mujhe koyi problem nahi hai, I'm ready"
She pushed him from her, "Hmmm, tumhe na ek dhappad ki zaroorat hai"
Zubin laughed and then crossed his hands over his chest, "Hmm... so, kyun laaya mujhe yaha?!"
Mukti hesitated a bit, "Voh, tum nahi aa rahe ho kya?!...matlab, tumne hi toh message kiya tha kal, hum dono ko...ek dusre ke sath time spend karna hai, samajna hai and all that crap...phir?!"
"Hmm, so problem actually yeh hai, ki tum mujhe miss karungi, hai na?!"
Mukti got angry, "Fine, mat aao", and then she was about to go, but Zubin held her hand
"Hoo angry young lady... voh....ek urgent meeting hai, Sid yaha ruk nahi sakta na, and Manik bhi jaa raha hai....So, I need to be here...ta ki Sid ko office tension na ho"
Mukti looked at him in admiration
