After Bela's demand,Raj was adamant to fulfill her wish no matter what,this was the first time his daughter had asked him for anything and what kind of a father would be be if he can't fulfill her wish.
"Aap logo ko manna toh padega hi,meri beti ne pehli baar mujhse kuch manga h,aur mein usse har haal mein woh dunga,chahe kuch bhi krna pade"Raj said with finality in his tone.
"Arre toh yeh bhi toh dekh ki woh kuch reasonable maang Rahi h ya nhi???sirf kyuki usne tujhse kuch manga h iska matlab yeh thodi h ki tu usse woh dede??"Bela's dadi said.
"Maa thik keh rahi h Raj, Kedarnath is way too risky"Bela's mother also said.
"Maa,kitne log jaatein hi h na waha hrr saal,unhe toh kuch nhi hota"Raj retorted.
"Arre pr kyu risk lena,kahi aur chale jayenge,mana thodi kiya h jaane se?"Bela's dadi said.
"Hum kyu negative soche??? positive sochte h na!!!!aur wese bhi Kedarnath toh jaana hi chahiye zindagi mein ek baar,aur bhagwan ke yaha jaane ke liye mana thodi krte h?"Raj tried to be diplomatic now.
"Aur tu kabse itna dharmic hi gaya??"Bela's dadi asked and Raj asked.
"Maa,maan jaiye na??jaane mein problem hi kya h???acchi jagah h pahad waghera h,nature se close h, perfect h ek vacation ke liye bhi,busy schedule se sabko break bhi mil jayega aur family ke saath quality time bhi spend kr lenge,aur bhagwan ke darshan bhi ho jaayenge,sab ek saath"Raj said.
"Aur Bela itne kese chadegi???"Bela's dadu asked this time.
"Abhi thodi jaana h??jab woh thik ho jayegi tab jayenge"Bela's dad said.
"Dad woh aise hi zidd kr rahi h,aur aap h ki sabko manane beth gaye"Ritik said.
"Tu chup kr,meri beti ne mujhse kuch manga h,mere aur uske beech ki baat h,mein Puri toh krke rahunga"Raj said determinantly.
"Hayee woh toh jhalli h,tu kyu itni Dil se laga raha h uski baatein,aise toh bht saari cheezein mangti rehti h woh uske dadu se,saari toh Puri nhi kr sakte h na?"Bela's dadi said trying to make her son understand.
"Pr mujhse toh peheli baar kuch manga h na maa??mein woh bhi pura na karu??aage se kuch mangegi bhi nhi mujhse phir woh!!!!agar mein Zoya ki wishes puri kr sakta hu toh uski kyu nhi???woh bhi toh meri hi beti h!!!!"Raj said now blackmailing them emotionally.
"Haye ab tu dramae kr raha h!!"Bela's dadi said.
"Ha toh Jo bhi Lage aapko,Jana toh padega hum sabko Kedarnath,Bela ki wish toh mein Puri krke hi rahunga"Raj said.
"Ab hum sab kya sirf uske liye itni durr jayenge "Bela's chachi said.
"Jiski iccha ho aa janaa,na ho toh mat aana,aap dono ko,Ritik,Zoya,Adi,Ansh aur Asha aur mujhe toh jaana hi h"Bela's dad said indirectly not bothering to even look at his sister in law who loved to be a pain in ass at all the times.
"Mein bhi aane hi wala hu bade papa"Angad said and Amrita and Divya nodded too, Bela's chachi made a face at that then.
"Ab bataiye aayenge aap dono??"Bela's dad again turned to Bela's grandparents.
"Tu maane wala nhi h?"Bela's dadi asked and he shook his head.
"Thik h bhai chalt eh phir,aakhir Bela ki iccha h,usse kon taal sakta h"Bela's dadu agreed finally.
"Haa,nhi toh usne Ghar sarr pr utha dena h"Bela's dadi added.
"Woh Zoya di jitne dramae toh nhi hu karegi"Ritik said.
"Haa beta phir tu usse acche se jaanta nhi h,bht ziddi h woh,thaan li h toh krke hi daam legi,khoon toh aakhir ek hi h tum sabka"Bela's dadi said.
"Meri galti nhi h,dad ziddi h isliye mein hu"Zoya said justifying herself.
"Teri maa koi kam nhi h beta"Bela's dad said.
"Haa toh krna h toh krna h"Bela's mom said proudly.
"Bas phir khandani problem hi h"Zoya said and everyone agreed and chuckled at it.
"Bata dena usse phir kal,nhi toh mujhe sadakr bethi rahegi pure din"Bela's dadu said and Raj nodded.

Next day,
Raj had made another sandwich for Bela for breakfast and had added sauces in small proportions to add taste to it.
Bela smiled seeing the sandwich and happily munched on it,while Mahir drank his usual black coffee.
"Ha toh sasurji kya hua aapke promise ka??"Mahir asked teasingly and Bela looked at Raj with hope in her eyes waiting for a positive answer.
"Ha toh jayenge hum saare"Raj said simply and Bela widened her eyes at that.
"Kedarnath!!!!"Bela asked.
"Ha Kedarnath"Raj said.
"Sab log na???dadi dadu aap bhi???sab log jayenge????"Bela again asked and Raj chuckled at her questions.
"Ha baba sab jayenge"Raj said and Bela smiled widely at that.
"Toh phir bht saari shopping krni padegi,aur kitna maza aayega hum sabko,mujhse toh wait hi nhi ho raha h!!!"Bela said excitedly.
"Aa jaakr ladkiya Shopping par hi atak jaati h!!"Mahir said and all the men laughed at that.
"Shruti bhi aayegi hum sabke saath"Bela said making it clear before handed.
"Haa bhai usse toh aana hi h,yeh bhi koi puchne ki baat h"Bela's mother said and Bela nodded.
"Haa wese bhi kabhi kabhi lagta h,in dono ki shadi hui h aur mein third wheel hu"Mahir said and Bela rolled her eyes at him.
"Hayee puttar ab Shruti na toh hum mein se koi bhi kuch nhi kr skata,dono hamesha gum ki tarah chipki hi rehti h"Bela's dadi said and he nodded.
"Aap bhi Shivaay bhaiya ko sab kuch hi bolte h"Bela retorted.
"Aur tum Shruti ko"Mahir retorted.
"Tum Shruti ko mujhse pehle baatein batati ho lekin"Mahir said.
"Aur aap bhi toh wahi krte h,kitni saari aisi baatein h jo aapne shivaay bhaiya ko mujhse pehele batayi h"Bela said.
"Bela yrr shivaay toh shivaay h tumhe pata h mein usse kuch chupa nhi sakta!!"Mahir said.
"Ha toh bas equal ho gaya,kyuki mein bhi Shruti se kuch chupa nhi sakti"Bela said and Mahir nodded at it then.
"Tum dono kitna jhagdte rehte ho,thakte nhi kya??"Ritik asked because he has had seen them only bickering since the time Bela had been discharged.
"Yeh h jo hamesha shuru krte h"Bela said.
"Ha toh tum chup raho,baat aage badhegi hi nhi"Mahir said.
"Mein kyu chup rahi??aap hamesha hi galat baat krte h"Bela said.
"Waah bhai wahhh,mein hamesha galat aur tum sahi!!"Mahir taunted her.
"Ha because wife is always right"Bela said.
"Aisa kuch nhi hota h,tum hi hamesha galtiyan krti rehti ho"Mahir said.
"Haa kyuki galti krne ke liye insan ko kaam bhi krna padta h,aap h hi itni aalsi ki koi kaam krte hi kaha h?"Bela taunted him.
"Ohh ab mein aalsi!!!!mein kya koi kaam nhi krta??"Mahir asked.
"Aap krte hi kya h khud hi soch lijiye??na aapko khana banana aata h,na aap baaki kisi kaam mein help krte h meri"Bela said.
"Just because mujhe khana banana nhi aata iska yeh matlab nhi mein kuch nhi krta,aur mein chopping mein help krta hu tumhari"Mahir said.
"Aisi chopping krte h ki kya batao"Bela said.
"Mere mom dad ne mujhe kabhi kaam krne Diya hi nhi isliye mujhe aata hi nhi"Mahir said.
"Sab kuch koi sikhata nhi h,kuch kaam Banda khud bhi seekh leta h"Bela said.
"Bela ab zyada ho raha h ha??tum meri cooking ka mazak nhi uda sakti "Mahir said.
"Aur aap jo meri hrr hi cheez ka mazak udate h uska kya??"She said.
"Aache bhale dono chup bethe the maine faltu main bol diya aur yeh world War shuru ho gya " Muttered Ritik.
"Mein sirf mazak krta hu tum chidd kyu jaati ho??"He asked and before Bela could counter attack, Bela's dadu intervened and said.
"Shhh....bas,alag se jaakr jhagda kiya karo, dining table pr yeh sab nhi chahiye mujhe"Bela's dadu said and both kept quiet then.
"Tumhe daanta"Mahir whispered to Bela.
"Aapko daanta h"Bela retorted loudly.
"Bela yrr bas ab,kitna jhagda karogi??? Tumhe toh kaam wa h nhi,mujhe bht kaam h,mein chalta hu chalo byyy"He said and got up from his seat giving her a teasing smile.
"Matlab mein faltu bethi hu??"She asked.
"Dadi yrr dekhiye na isko??hrr baat pr jhagdti rehti h mujhse"Mahir said.
"Hayee Bela woh kaam pr jaa raha h,aur tu h ki jhagda kr rahi h usse"Bela's dadi said.
Bela pouted while Mahir smirked at her and left bidding them byy.
_______________________
Bela called Mahir because she was getting bored,her mother was doing some work sitting in the living room itself while her dadi was having an afternoon nap,her dadu and dad were at work,so was Ritik and the rest of the family.
"Hmm,bolo"He said from the other side.
"Kuch nhi aise hi call Kiya tha,aap busy the kya??"She asked him.
"Hmm,kaam hi kr raha hu"Mahir said.
"Mujhe bore ho raha h Mahirji"She said.
"Ha toh dadi se baatein kr lo"Mahir said busy checking some reports.
"Woh so Rahi h"Bela said.
"Ha toh Ritik waghera koi toh hoga?"He asked.
"Sab kaam pr gaye h,mom h but woh bhi ka kr rahi h"Bela said.
"Bela mein abhi zara busy hu baadmein baat krta hu,tum ek nap le lo"Mahir said and hung up and Bela sighed.
"TV dekh le"Bela's mother said and Bela shook her head at that.
"Garden mein walk ke liye chale??"Her mother again asked.
"Mein wall nhi kr sakti"Bela said,she was getting utterly bored and felt useless as she couldn't even go anywhere without anybody's help.
"Toh kya krna h??"Bela's mother asked and she sighed but didn't said anything.
Her mother then excused herself and left the living room.She did came back in a few mins though and tried to cheer up Bela but it failed.
"Bhabhiiiiiiii!!!!!!!!"Ishan shouted and Bela immediately turned her wheelchair and saw Ishan,Rudra,Kunj and Shivaay standing at their doorstep.
"Aap log yaha kya kr rahe h???"Bela asked and they just shrugged their shoulders.
"Koi toh bht bore ho raha tha,isliye hume bulaya gaya h"Kunj said and Bela smiled at them because she thought Mahir had asked them to visit her.
"Chaliye hum abhi ke abhi mall jaa rahe h"Rudra said and she looked at her mother as if asking for permission.
"Jao maze krke aao,pr jaldi wapas aa jaana,aur aaram se jaana"Bela's mother said smiling at them all.
"Aunty aap bhi chaliye saath,yaha kya karengi akeli??"Shivaay said and Bela's mother looked at Bela now,as if asking for permission.
"Aap aana chahe toh aa sakti h"Bela said giving her the authority to decide.
"Mein abhi aati hu bas"Bela's mother said and left.
"Mein bhi zara change krke aati hu"Bela said and called the nurse who took her to her room and helped her get changed.
"Chale???"Shivaay asked once the mother daughter duo came after getting ready.
"Hmm"Bela's mother said and Rudra pushed Bela's wheelchair towards the door and then he along with Kunj picked the wheelchair while Bela sat on it and brought it down the stairs.
"Tum dono pagal ho,mein girr jaati abhi"Bela repramined them.
"Oh come on bhabhi,aapko humpr bharosa nhi h kya??"Rudra asked and Bela shook her head,he dramatically gasped at it then.
"Nautanki kahi ka,chal"Kunj said.
They all helped Bela into the car and then kept her wheelchair in the car trunk.Bela sat on the front seat comfortably while Asha sat in the back seat with Kunj and Rudra and Ishan sat at the last as it was a 7 seater car.
The ancar ride was comfortable as they all reached the mall with chitchats.
"Toh aapko kaha jaana h??? shopping krni h??"Kunj asked and Bela shook her head at that.
"Toh bhabhi chalo na game zone chalte h"Ishan said excitedly and Bela nodded positively at that.
"Game zone I guess 4th floor pr h,lift le lete h hum"Shivaay said and pushed Bela's wheelchair towards the lift.
"Khanna make sure ki lift khali ho"Shivaay ordered to his PA and chief security head and Khanna nodded and went ahead with a few guards and did as said.
"Shivaay bhaiya hamara mall thodi h,aur kya farak padta h ki lift khali ho ya na,hume toh sirf 4th floor tak jaana h"Bela said and Shivaay shook his head at that and said.
"Aap nhi samjhengi bhabhi"Shivaay said and Bela shook her head at his antics,he was way too private and always wanted lil interaction with strangers.
"Sir,lift khali krwa di h"Khanna said as he came back and Shivaay nodded and pushed Bela's wheelchair into the lift,Asha,Rudra,Kunj and Ishan just followed them.
"Aapne liftman se baat ki??"Bela asked.
"Nhi,iss mall ke owner ko bade papa acche se jaante h,mein bhi ek do baar Mila hu kaam se,so direct baat ho gayi unse"Shivaay said and Bela hit her forehead with her palm.
"Bhabhi aap Shivaay bhaiya se aur kya hi expect kr sakti h?"Rudra said and Bela nodded while Shivaay ignored them as he always does.
They reached the game zone and started trying all the games and Bela wasn't able to win even one of them,she liked a teddy bear way too much and tried to pull it out of the machine a lot of times but each time she missed it.
"Rehne do ab nhi aur try karungi"She said and they moved further to another game.
Like this they spent almost 2 hours their,the boys all even bowled while Bela and her mother just stared them,Rudra even made Bela's mother try some of the games.Tired of all the games because she didn't won even a single one of them Bela asked them to head towards the food court.
"Kuch bahar ka nhi khaa sakti h tu Bela"Bela's mother already warned her and she sighed and looked at Shivaay and her other brother in law's for assistance.
"Sorry bhabhi, but aapke vomiting wale incident ke baad toh bilkul nhi,aur wese bhi yeh sab bht unhygienic hota h,aapko sab healthy hi khana chahiye abhi"Shivaay said and she pouted.
"Ice cream??"she asked and Shivaay sighed.
"Mahir se puch leta hu ek baar"Shivaay said and dialled him and Bela sighed because she knew it would be a no.
"Okh,thik h"Shivaay said and ended the call.
"Ice cream kha sakti h aap,but ek scoop hi"Shivaay said and her face brightened at that.
They all headed towards an ice cream parlor and Bela chose a double chip chocolate cookie ice cream and the rest ordered according to their own tastes.
They all sat and had their ice creams.
"Toh tumhari shadi kab h beta??"Bela's mother asked looking at Shivaay because they knew his roka was done.
"Dekhte h fix nhi h abhi kuch aunty"Shivaay said and his brother's teased him a lot about it.
"Bhabhi thik ho jaye uske baad hi krte h,wrna tuti hui taang ke saath dance krti Hui yeh acchi nhi lagengi"Kunj said and everyone laughed at that while Bela pouted.
"Tum bada mazak uda rahe ho Aaj kal mera"Bela said.
"Meine apne bade bhai se hi seekha h"Kunj said.
"Bhai aap sabko zyada pareshan toh nhi kr rahe h na aunty??"Rudra teased Bela's mother.
"Woh bichara toh itna seedha h,koi demands hi nhi h uski toh,yeh madam h jiske tantrums khatam hi nhi hote"Bela's mother said pointing towards Bela.
"Ab toh aap jamai ki tarafdaari kr rahi h"Kunj said.
"Nhi nhi,sacchi Mahir ke bilkul koi natak nhi h"Bela's mother said.
Their talks ended once they all finished their ice creams and then they decided to head home.
Shivaay and his brother's dropped Bela to Singhaniya Mansion and then left after they met Mahir obviously.
"Achanak kese mall ka plan bana??"Mahir asked as she sat in the living room once Shivaay and the rest left.
"Aapne hi toh unhe bheja tha na??"Bela asked.
"Nhi,mein toh busy tha aaj pure din,meine kisi ko nhi bheja"Mahir said.
"Phir unhone hi kaha mujhe ki kisine unhe kaha ki mein bore ho rahi thi isliye woh yaha aaye h?"Bela said.
"Tumhari mom ne bulaya hoga phir"Mahir pointed out the obvious thing and Bela was hell confused,would her mother do that????did her mother really do that????
