Manvi streched her arms in air and rubs her eyes as she got up from the peaceful last night sleep. She finds herself getting up from the bed of her room. She thinks about last night when she was with Bharat at terrace and smile thinking that he must have brought her in their room carrying in his arms. Suddenly she heard a sound and turns towards her left to find Bharat near the wardrobe. She looks confused when she find him searching something. She slowly gets down the bed and moves towards him when she realised that he is dressed in his office wears. She became surprised at the very instinct. Bharat turns around with his tie in his hand and finds Manvi in front of him looking confused.
BHARAT- good morning..
Manvi's thoughts break as Bharat wished her. She looks at him who was already smiling looking at her.
MANVI- g..good.. mo..rning..
Manvi tried to reply him back but still she was feeling confused and happy both at the same time. Bharat understood her expressions and moves towards her. He keeps his tie around her neck and holds her shoulders with a smile on his face.
BHARAT- I know what you are thinking...
Manvi gulped hearing him. She was waiting for the moment when he himself tells her about what she is thinking.
BHARAT- get ready to hear those words which you are waiting for..
Said Bharat in a more dramatic way making Manvi impatient..
BHARAT- me office ja raha hu...
Bharat finally said with a satisfied smile making Manvi happy. A slow smile started forming on manvi's face while Bharat observed her.
MANVI- ss..sac..sach..?
Manvi stammered to clear her doubts while Bharat nods his head in agreement. This itself makes Manvi the happiest person to the core. She covered her mouth and looks at him getting excited. The next moment she wraps her arms around him in a hug.
MANVI- thank you so much Bharat...
Bharat smile at her and pecks her forehead. She released him from the hug and started knot-ing his tie which was around her neck. Bharat moves towards the couch and started picking the files.
BHARAT- I have not told anyone.. except Ram bhaiya..
Manvi completes her work and moves towards him.
BHARAT- wo bhi bohot khush hai..
Said Bharat with a wide smile while Manvi blinks her eyes in assurance. She makes him wear the tie properly.
MANVI- give me ten minutes.. I will freshen up.. and then.. we both will together give this good news to everyone..
Said Manvi in a request while Bharat nods at her in agreement. Manvi was about to leave towards the washroom and he continued looking into his files. She moves near him and pecks him on his right cheek.
MANVI- I love you..
She runs from there in the washroom while Bharat kept on smiling at her nodding in disbelief...

Siya was preparing the breakfast for Ram and Lakshman while both the boys were sitting at dinning table. Lakshman looks at Siya first and then at Ram.
LAKSHMAN- ehm..ehhh..
He cleared his throat to gain Ram's attention. Ram stopped sipping his coffee and turns towards Lakshman. He again looks at Siya busy in her work and started indicating something to Ram. While Ram was not able to understand what he is trying to say. Lakshman again tried to whisper something but it was inaudible to Ram.
SIYA- you don't have to whisper Lakshman...
Siya interrupts between the brothers making both of them to look at her.
SIYA- jo bhi hai.. zor se bolo..
Said Siya pouring the juice in the glasses. Lakshman gulped hearing her while Ram pressed his smile at his smart wife.
LAKSHMAN- no.. nothing bhabhi.. I was just asking bhaiya.. ki aaj unki meeting hai.. mera kuch jyada kam nahi hai.. to.. me... chutti le lu...
Lakshman questioned the last line looking at Ram. He indicates his elder brother to nod in agreement while Siya catches him doing that.
SIYA- puch rahe ho ya bata rahe ho.?
Lakshman bows down hiding his eyes from Siya who nods at him in disbelief. She takes the two glasses near the table and looks at Lakshman.
SIYA- I have already told na.. no one need to stay home to look after me..
Said Siya folding her hands. Though Ram and Lakshman had a discussion that Siya is fine, Lakshman still was getting worried for her security. He requested Ram that one of them should stay with her but Ram was not sure about Siya's reaction. He knows that she will not allow them to behave in such a toxic way. Lakshman looks at Siya first and then at Ram who was already looking at him.
LAKSHMAN- ha bhabhi.. ofcourse.. you don't need anyone to take your care.. but.. kuch dino ke liye.. I mean..
SIYA- no...
Siya interrupts him not allowing him to complete his sentence.
LAKSHMAN- bhaiya.. say something na..
Lakshman requested Ram to speak something and make Siya understand that they are getting worried for her. He sighed and was about to reply to Lakshman when Siya again interrupts.
SIYA- what your bhaiya will say.? Mene ek bar keh diya na.. that's it..
Siya said in a typical wife pitch while Ram makes a puppy face and looks at Lakshman who nods at him in disbelief.
LAKSHMAN- joru ke ghulam..
Lakshman muttered under his breath looking at Ram while he widens his eyes in shock. He looks at Siya who was staring both of them. Lakshman sighed and gets up from his place and holds Siya's shoulders.
LAKSHMAN- don't get me wrong bhabhi. Me aap par nazar nahi rakhna chahta.. it's just that I worry for you..
Said Lakshman in a genuine tone while Siya kept on looking at him.
LAKSHMAN- you are the eldest bahu of Raghuvanshi family. Hamare family ka pride hai aap.. agar aapko kuch bhi ho, to hum sab darr jate hai..
Siya smile at him lightly and takes her hand near his face. She lightly caresses his face while Ram smile at them.
LAKSHMAN- I know you are strong. But kuch chize hoti hai.. jo genuine hoti hai.. you can't stop us from pampering you..
Said Lakshman in a pout while Siya bows down not understanding how to explain him. He watches her expressions and then looks at Ram who indicates him to not say anything further. Lakshman nods at him lightly.
LAKSHMAN- oh kk.. as you wish bhabhi. I will not force you.
Said Lakshman leaving her from the hold while Siya didn't look at him.
LAKSHMAN- bhaiya.. I am waiting for you downstairs..
Lakshman picks up his blazer and bag while Ram nods at him. He leaves from there again looking at Siya for one more time. Ram looks at her and gets up from his place. She turns to face him.
SIYA- am I troubling you both.?
Ram's expression changes suddenly hearing her words. He looks startled while Siya looks disappointed.
SIYA- meri wajah se.. aap dono ko taklif horahi hai na.? I am making you all to get worried about me..
Said Siya getting emotional while Ram looks down. He moves towards her and takes her hands in his.
RAM- you are not troubling us... Understand this..
Said Ram with a smile while Siya still looks unconvinced.
RAM- jisse hum pyar karte hai na, uske liye hamare dil me pareshani and worries apne aap ajati hai..
Ram tried to explain her Lakshman's point of view while Siya bows her head down.
RAM- Lakshman.. Mumbai me sab log.. yaha Rajrishi house me everyone.. they all are worried for your safety.. that's it..
Siya nods her head lightly while Ram tightens the grip on her hand making her to look at him.
RAM- we all know that our Siya is very strong.. and she can handle every situation by her own.
Ram gave her some confidence praising her while she streched her lips to smile lightly.
SIYA- you trust me right.?
Asked Siya while Ram smile at her question. He kissed her palms softly and Siya waited for his response.
RAM- you have any doubt on that ?
Siya's smile widened hearing his words. She wraps her arms around him in a hug while Ram caresses her back.
RAM- don't worry.. bas apna khyal rakhiye.. aur safe rahiye..
Said Ram while Siya nods her head in agreement. He leaves her from the hug and cups her face.
RAM- why don't you continue your dance ? You will feel better..
Siya smile at him lightly and nods her head lightly.
SIYA- waise to.. unn tino ke bina I will not feel satisfied. But still.. I will try..
Ram nods his head lightly. He picks his blazer and bag from the chair and looks at Siya.
RAM- I will go.. take care...
SIYA- you too..
Ram leaves from there while Siya moves behind him. He instructs her to lock the main door properly and she smile at him nodding in agreement. Finally he leaves from there while Siya smile thinking about everyone's concern for her...

SUMITRA- Shruti ..
Sumitra calls Shruti while moving towards the dinning table from the kitchen. She was carrying a heavy tray and hence called Shruti for the help. Shatrughan and Shruti were already present there, Shatrughan working in his laptop and Shruti arranging the plates.
SHRUTI- areh choti maa...
Shruti runs towards her and helps her to carry the tray towards the dinning.
SUMITRA- thank you..
Sumitra smile at her and then looks at Shatrughan.
SUMITRA- oye.. dinning table pe office work not allowed..
Said Sumitra scolding Shatrughan while he immediately closed his laptop getting fear. Shruti giggles at him and he gave her a stare.
URMILA- sorry choti maa...
Urmila came there running and apologize to Sumitra.
URMILA- I got late today.. subah subah laksh ka call agaya tha na.. isliye...
Said Urmila apologizing while Sumitra smile at her nodding her head.
SHATRUGHAN- chalo then.. I have to leave early too..
Said Shatrughan packing his laptop when he heard Bharat's voice.
BHARAT- Shatrughan..
Everyone looks at the stairs from where Bharat and Manvi were coming downstairs. Shatrughan gets up from his seat looking at Bharat dressed in his office wears. While Shruti and Urmila smile looking at the happy Manvi.
SUMITRA- Bharat...?
Sumitra looks at him in confusion. Bharat moves towards her and bends in front of her to take her blessings.
BHARAT- ashirwad dijiye choti maa.. I am going to office..
Sumitra gets happy hearing him. She caresses his face lovingly while Shatrughan too gets emotional feeling happy about his decision. Shruti looks at Dashrath's room and runs from there to inform him.
SUMITRA- I am so happy today... Aisa lag raha hai ki.. after a long time, something good has happened..
Said Sumitra feeling emotional while Bharat embrace her in a side hug. Kranti was too feeling happy as she witnessed them from upstairs standing near the railing.
KRANTI- a ton of thanks to you god..
Said Kranti praying God and smiling happily for Bharat's decision.
DASHRATH- Bharat...
Everyone looks at Dashrath who was coming towards them with the help of Shruti. Bharat moves towards his father and bend in front of him to take his blessings.
DASHRATH- khush raho beta... Hamesha khush raho..
Said Dashrath holding Bharat's shoulders. Bharat could witness a proud smile on Dashrath's face. He was indeed happy after a long time. Dashrath looks at Shatrughan and opens his arm to call him near him. Shatrughan wipes his tears and runs towards his father, wrapping his arms around his waist in a hug. Bharat too hug him and Dashrath caresses both of theirs back. Kranti wipes her tears of happiness looking at the sons and father. After a moment, he released both of them from his embrace and watches both of their faces.
DASHRATH- go my kids.. make your Ram bhaiya feel proud of yourselves..
Bharat and Shatrughan smile hearing his words. Kranti bows down hearing Ram's name from him. She knows that slowly and steadily everything and everyone are getting normal. But still the absence and void of Ram and Siya can be still felt in everyone's eyes. Urmila looks at Manvi who was happily smiling looking at them. She moves towards her and whispered near her.
URMILA- dekha..? I have told you na.. hum patniyan hi apne patiyon ko line par la sakti hai..
Said Urmila in a smirk while Manvi laughs at her words lightly. They look at their around to check if anyone has heard them and again giggles looking at each other.
URMILA- I am happy for you..
Said Urmila smiling at Manvi who keeps her hand on Urmila's shoulder.
MANVI- and I am thankful to you..
Urmila blinks her eyes in assurance. Both of them again looks at Dashrath who was caressing and instructing Bharat and Shatrughan. Shruti looks at her side to observe Sumitra who was being emotional.
SHRUTI- choti maa..?
Sumitra immediately clears her tears and smile looking at Shruti.
SUMITRA- tears of happiness..
Said Sumitra making Shruti to smile. She looks at front and continued talking with Shruti.
SUMITRA- ab mujhe aur bhi jyada vishwas hogaya hai.. sab jald hi theek hone wala hai..
Said Sumitra with a confident voice while Shruti too nods at her in agreement. She embraced Sumitra wrapping her arms around her waist from back while Sumitra caresses her face watching Bharat happy. Kranti looks at everyone and smile sadly. Somewhere she knows that her heart is feeling the absence of Ram and Siya...

Siya was working in the kitchen cleaning the plates after their dinner. She was cleaning the vessel when it's pointed edge scratches her index finger.
SIYA- aah..!
She shouted it pain and within a microsecond the blood started oozing from her finger.
RAM- Siya..?
Ram enters the kitchen hearing Siya's voice. He was in living area busy with his work when he heard Siya's shout.
RAM- kya hua ?
Asked Ram moving towards her. She turns to face him and he looks at her blood filled finger.
RAM- oh god.. Siya...
He immediately took her hand in his and gets panicked looking at her injury. He opens the tap and places her finger under the running water.
RAM- what were you doing Siya. ?? Kitni bar kaha hai aapko, to do everything steadily.. but you don't listen to me..
Ram started complaining while she looks in pain. He removes her finger and turned the tap off. He takes the turmeric powder jar from the counter and moves towards Siya.
SIYA- nahi Ram..
Siya stops him from opening the lid while Ram looks at her.
SIYA- bohot dukhega..
Said Siya with a pout while Ram gave an angry stare at her.
RAM- it's necessary.. I am not going to listen to you regarding this..
Said Ram and opens the lid of the jar. He took a pinch of the turmeric powder and applied it to Siya's finger.
SIYA- aahh Ram...
Siya closed her eyes tightly as she felt burning sensation. Ram watches her with painful eyes and pulls her near him.
RAM- bas.. thodasa dard hoga.. relax...
Said Ram caressing her back while she kept on closing her eyes and shook her head bearing the pain.
RAM- aap mera bilkul nahi sunti hai Siya.. I don't know in which hurry you always are..? Aram se sab karna chahiye na..
Ram kept on scolding her while she opens her eyes slowly watching his reaction. He blows the air on her finger as the blood stopped oozing further.
RAM- kyu samajhti nahi hai aap.? Looking at you like this, gives me pain..
Said Ram in a worried expression while Siya scrunched her eyebrows.
SIYA- theek hai na.. daant kyu rahe hai..?
Ram motioned his eyes to look at her who was seems to be angry too. She pouts at him and looks at other side.
RAM- datunga hi. If you do not take your care then.. mujhse bura.. koi nahi hoga..
Said Ram acting to sound strict. Siya looks at him and giggle at his reaction. While Ram watches her in disbelief.
SIYA- sorry..
RAM- hmm...
He looks at her injury feeling tensed. Siya watches him getting worried.
SIYA- it's ok. You're being over possesive...
Said Siya taking her hand back from his hold.
RAM- if this is going to satisfy you then yes I am being over possesive..
Siya smile at him in disbelief. Ram looks at the sink and then at Siya.
RAM- you move aside.. I am doing this..
Said Ram indicating her to keep her hand away from the dishes as he is going to clean that.
SIYA- aap karenge .?
Ram looks at her and found her expressions to be shocked.
RAM- why..? Kyu nahi kar sakta.?
Siya pressed her smile and folded her hands.
SIYA- Ram Raghuvanshi is going to clean the plates..??
Ram smile at her and takes a plate in his one hand and the sponge in other hand.
RAM- Ram Raghuvanshi can do anything for his Siya..
Siya feels touched hearing his words. Unknowingly or knowingly, Ram always makes her feel special and loved.
She kept on looking at him smiling while he started cleaning the plates and vessels.
Seedhe saadhe sara sauda seedha seedha hona jee
Main ne tum ko pana hai ya tum ne main ko khona jee
Aaaja dil ki kar saude bazzi kya narazi Aa re aaa re are aaa...
Ram's eyes falls on her who was staring him with a smile. He smirked at her while she blushed with his sudden naughty reaction. She moves towards him and wraps her arms around his shoulders from back, resting her head on his back while he continued his work.
Seedhe saadhe sara sauda seedha seedha hona jee
Main ne tum ko pana hai ya tu ne main ko khona jee
Aaaja dil ki kar saude bazzi kya narazi Aa re aaa re are aaa...
Shruti enters the study room and finds Shatrughan working, busy in some files. She keeps her hands on her waist and watches him in disbelief. She moves towards him and patted his shoulder to gain his attention.
Sauda hai dil ka yeh
Tu kar bhi le
Mera jahan bahaon mein tu bhar bhi le...
He looks at her while she asked him how much time will he take to complete his work. He looks at the watch and indicates her that he will be back in sometime and then again gets his head into the file.
Saude mein de kasam
Kasam bhi le
Aake tu nighaahon mein sawar bhi le...
She made a face looking this workaholic Shatrughan and thinks for an idea. She goes near the door and rests herself on the wall and cleared her throat to gain his attention.
Sauda udano ka hai
Ya Aasmano ka hai
Le le udanein meri
Le mere Par bhi le...
Shatrughan turns around to look at Shruti and found her smirking at him with a naughty stare. He gets up from his chair and his jaw drops looking her actioning him. She calls him with her finger, biting her lower lip while Shatrughan gulped looking at her.
Sauda umeedon ka hai
Khawaabon ka neendon ka hai
Le Le tu neendein meri
Naino mein ghar bhi le...
He throws the pen he is holding in his hand and shut the files loudly, keeping his work aside. He runs towards her and caged her between the wall and him while Shruti giggles at his reaction. She holds near his collar of the t-shirt and takes him to their room while Shatrughan became happy.
Seedhe saadhe sara sauda seedha seedha hona jee
Main ne tum ko pana hai ya tu ne main ko khona jee
Aaaja dil ki kar saude bazzi kya narazi Aa re aaa re are aaa...
Manvi moves towards Bharat who was busy with his painting. She looks at him who was smiling doing his work and then looks at the painting which he was drawing.
Dil kahe tere main hoonthon se
Baaton ko chupke se loon utha...
His eyes falls on her who was looking at the sun rise painting. He holds her hand and pulls her towards him while she looks startled at his reaction.
Uss Jagah Dheere se haule se
Geeton ko apne mein doon beetha...
He smile at her while she looks confused. He back hugs her, keeping his one hand on her waist and continued his painting while Manvi smile looking at him.
Hoo Dil kahe tere main hoonthon se
Baaton ko chupke se loon utha
Uss Jagah Dheere se haule se
Geeton ko apne mein doon beetha...
Manvi pecks his cheek lightly while he smile not looking at her while continuing his painting. She observed him and then looks at front at the canvas.
Sauda taranon ka hai
Dil ke fasano ka hai
Le Le Tarane mere
Hoothon pe ghar bhi le...
Bharat tightens the grip on her waist keeping his chin on her shoulder while her smile widened looking at his gesture and then at his painting.
Sauda Ujjalo ka hain
Roshan Khayalon ka hai
Le Le Ujjale mere
Aaja Nazar bhi le...
She rests her back completely on him while he pecks her side of the head. She started instructing him about something regarding his painting while he nods his head hearing her.
Seedhe saadhe sara sauda seedha seedha hona jee
Main ne tum ko pana hai ya tu ne main ko khona jee
Aaaja dil ki kar saude bazzi kya narazi Aa re aaa re are aaa...
Urmila was continuously waiting for Lakshman's call by roaming in her room. She was feeling frustrated and sleepy when suddenly her phone rang. It was a video call from Lakshman and she accepts it looking angry.
Main kabhi Bhoolunga na tujhe
Chahe tu mujhko dena bhula...
She was about to shout at him but stops herself looking at him already holding his ears. He had a smile on his face with his hands holding his ears for apology as he called late.
Adatein jaise hai tu meri
Adatein kaise bhuulon bhala...
She smile at his gesture first and then at the other moment started laughing at his gimmicks. He too smile looking at her laughing face.
Ho Main kabhi Bhoolunga na tujhe
Chahe tu mujhko dena bhula
Adatein jaise hai tu meri
Adatein kaise bhuulon bhala...
She stops her laugh and found him staring her. She folded her hands and acted to be still angry while Lakshman blows a kiss to her.
Sauda yeh vaadon ka hai
Yaadon irradon ka hai
Le le tu vadeein chahe
Tu to mukar bhi le...
She shook her head saying that she doesn't accept his apologies while he kept on pacifying her while doing n number of things making her to laugh.
Sauda ishaaron ka hai
Chahat ke maaron ka hai
Le le isharein mere
Inka asar bhi le...
Finally she smile at him nodding her head while Lakshman keeps his hand on his heart and acts to get unconscious by her beautiful smile.
Seedhe saadhe sara sauda seedha seedha hona jee
Main ne tum ko pana hai ya tu ne main ko khona jee
Aaaja dil ki kar saude bazzi kya narazi Aa re aaa re are aaa...
Ram takes Siya to their room holding her hand. He makes her sleep on the bed and covers her with the comfort. She smile at him lovingly for his care. He was about to go towards his side when she holds his hand to stop him.
Seedhe saadhe sara sauda seedha seedha hona jee
Main ne tum ko pana hai ya tu ne main ko khona jee
Aaaja dil ki kar saude bazzi kya narazi Aa re aaa re are aaa...!!
He smile at her and sleep near her embracing her in a hug and covering him under the comfort while she giggled at his gesture. He kissed her neck while she kissed his shoulder and both of them went to sleep holding each other...
