" What the hell, Raj stop it " is Simran's first reaction when Neil runs out of the room after asking Raj for his sister's hand and Raj runs after him, taking off his shoes and throwing them at Neil
Simran and Avni go after them, and Simran tries to stop Raj but while running after Neil, Raj picked up what he was getting in his hand and was throwing it on him.
Chasing after each other, the four reach the hall and Avni is really scared as Raj tries to catch Neil but Neil is running away from him
" Dekh, pehle meri puri baat sun, fir ye ladai jhagda karenge..." Neil says this while looking at him who is on the other side of the sofa.
" Mujhe teri koi baat nahi sunni, teri himmat kaise hui meri behan ke liye aisa kuch sochne ki " Saying this, Raj again throws the shoe at him but Neil bends so that the shoe does not hit him.
But then at that very moment Neela arrives there and sees them fighting like this.
" Raj ye kya kar rahe ho...." Hearing Neela's voice, both stop running and stand next to each other and sees Neela
" Raj ye tarika hai Neil se pesh aane ka... bhulon mat Neil ab tumhara sirf dost nahi, Simran ka bhai bhi hai... is naate uski izat karo..." Neela said standing in front of them
" Wahi to aunty...... aur ab to iss ghar ka damaad bhi banne wala hu... izat karo meri saale sahab " He leans towards Raj and whispers last line in his ear, to which Raj glare at him angrily.
" Mom, aapko pta bhi hai isne kiya kya hai" Avni's eyes get big when Raj is about to tell this to Neela.
" Kya kiya hai ? " neela questions him
" Isne... Raj is unable to say anything further when Neela's phone starts ringing, Neela looks at the phone and says
" Accha, Simran beta main n thodi der ke liye market jaa rahi hu... meri friend baahar intezaar kar rahi hai... tum bachche apna khayal rakhna aur haan... Raj, Neil se acche se pesh aana..." Before leaving Neela gives him a warning.
" Aur Neil beta raat hone waali hai, to tum rukna.. dinner humare saath karke jaana"
" OK aunty " He says with a smile, while Raj is trying to control his anger...Avni sees Raj's face and understands that at this time he is very angry... what should she do now....
And then asks Neil to stay for dinner there, Neela leaves all four of them at home and goes out.
After Neela leaves, before Raj says anything, Neil says
" dekh.... I love her and she loves me too. that's why try to understand before jumping to any conclusion." Neil tells him to which Raj does not answer him but turns towards Avni knowing that she also loves him.
" Avi " When Raj says this, Avni looks at him who is looking down and their eyes meet.
" Avi, Ye sab kya hai... ye kya bol raha hai... ? Tum Neil se pyar karti ho ?" He asked softly
Avni remains silent on this question of Raj and Simran who is standing next to her puts her hand on her back, Avni looks at her and Simran blinks her eyelashes indicating her to tell the truth....
Meanwhile, Neil is also praying that Avni will not step back out of fear.
Whereas Raj notices Simran how she is signaling to Avni, which means she also knows all this.
" Wait, tumhe ye sab pta tha ? " He asks Simran to which Simran gulps, If she had said yes, he would have been angry with her too, but now what is the use of lying, she is ready to face his anger.
" Haan " Raj is shocked at Sirman's answer...she did not consider it necessary to tell him this.
" Aur tumne mujhe ye btaana jruri nahi samjhaa aur ulta iss chiz ko encourage kar rahi thi ? "
" Aisa kuch nahi hai aur mujhe ye sab kal hi pta chala hai... aur...
" Aur kya ?" Raj ask
" dekho, itna over react karne ki jrurt nahi hai... kya galat hai iss chiz me, pehle inki baat to suno... bina soche samjhe react mat karo... Neil ko puri baat to karne do pehle..." Simran says this
" Mujhe tum dono bhai behan ki koi baat nahi sunni ab...." Saying this he looks at Avni
"Avi main tumse kuch puchh raha hu....ye sab kya hai... i know tumhare side se Neil ke liye kuch nahi hoga..." Raj again ask, he's asking this to her with calmness
" avi, main kuch puchh raha hu, chup kyon ho... jawab do ?"
Neil sees her on her silence and about to says something but before that Avni speaks
" Bha...bhai, Neil jhooth nahi bol rahe hai " she said this only and there Neil heaves a sigh of relief after hearing this and a smile appears on his face as she finally confesses it to her brother.
Wherein Raj gets shocked: listening to her, he cannot believe that his sister is in love with his friend.. How did all this happen between them and when ? Both of them never even talked well, they used to meet only because of family but then he remembers something
Flashback
During their college days, whenever there was talk of their love among their friends, everyone would tell their own story but Neil never took the name of any girl but he always kept smiling lost in someone's thoughts.
But after seeing the happiness on his face, everyone asked him who he remembers and keeps smiling, to which he replied that there is someone special in his life whose name he cannot take but he is always happy remembering that special person.
And the same incident happened a few days ago also, when there was Raj's bachelor party before the marriage... There Raj, Neil along with some of his close friends from college were there.
And by then Simran had also confirmed to Raj that Neil really has a girlfriend.
So they were having a casual conversation among their friends and at that time one of their friends said
" yaar Neil, ab to Raj ki bhi shaadi ho rahi hai... tu kab kar raha hai ? aur haan yaad aaya teri life me to already koi hai... to tu ab km se km hume apni special one ka naam to btaa de " Neil smiles after hearing this from one of his friends.
" Ye lo fir se sirf smile, kabhi unka naam bhi le le jo teri is muskurahat ki wajah hai " his friend again speaks and before Neil speaks something on this, Raj speaks
" haan Neil, ab to bhabhi ka naam btaa de..." Raj also says this to him to whom Neil smiles awkwardly....., now what should he tell him now... the one whom he wants to make as Raj's bhabhi is his own sister.
" Naam bhi btaaunga, aur tum sabko us se milwaaunga bhi.. aur Raj tujhe to jab main us se milwaaunga n to tujhe yakeen hi nahi hoga ki main kis se pyar karta hu" Neil says this to Raj on which Raj looks at him
" Kyon ? Kya main use jaanta hu " Raj asks him
" Waqt aane par sab pta chal jaayega " After this Neil does not say anything and their talk on this topic ends there.
Flashback End
Raj understood today that why Neil never took the name of his special person in front of him and why he used to say that when he would introduce her to him, he would not believe it....Remembering all this, his anger increases and in the end he asks only one question to Avni
" Tumhe puri duniya me yehi mila tha pyar karne ke liye ? " Raj, shocked to hear the truth from his sister, so he asks this question to her
And while Avni can answer this question, before that, Neil speaks who's shocked by his question
" what do you mean by yehi mila ? Kya buraai hai mujh me ?" Neil questions him
Raj looks at Neil's question.
" mujhe nahi pta tha teri soch aisi hai meri behan ke liye.... mujhe to humesha se lagta tha ki tu use bhi apni behan maanta hai...." Neil's eyes widen hearing this
" Oh, ye kya bekar ke rishte jod raha hai.... Meri is puri duniya me ek hi behan hai jo mere liye kaafi hai... " Hearing Neil words Raj sees him
" aur kya... mtlb kya hai tera.... ki meri soch aisi hai... Avni ke liye meri soch bahut acchi hai... pyar karta hu main us se.... to please itna over react karne ki jrurt nahi hai..." Neil clear his things
And before Raj can say anything, Neil speaks again
" Aur kya... ho kya gya hai.. Tune meri behan se pyar kiya, shaadi ki... maine kuch kaha ? Nahi... to ab tu itna over react kyon kar raha hai jaise pta nahi maine kya kar diya hai...tujhe meri behan pasand hai, mujhe teri.. simple "
" Oh mtlb tune revenge liya hai...? Maine sirman se shaadi ki to tune meri behan ke saath aisa kiya....?"
" Kya pagal hai, main aisa kyon karunga.... main bas kehna chahta hu ki ki jab tumhara aur sirman ka rishta sahi hai fir tumhe mere aur avni se kya problem ho rahi hai, itna kyon react kar rahe ho, pahle humari baat to suno... puri baat kya hai....?
" mujhe teri koi aur kahani nahi sunni...... aur meri aur sirman ki baat alag hai... humara rishta dosti se badhkar yehaan tak pahucha hai... par avni.... Avni aur tumhara koi mel hi nahi hai "
" aise kaise mel nahi hai.... dost to hum bhi hai.... dheere dheere humara rishta bhi shaadi tak pahuch hi jaayega... aur fir...." After this Neil becomes silent when he realizes what he is about to say, He is going to talk about their children which is a very serious topic for him.
But Avni and Simran look at him... In such a tense situation, he is thinking of a joke... Can't he talk seriously?
" I mean hum bhi dost hai " After speaking all, Neil cuts his answer short.
" Nahi, Tune jo kiya hai wo dosti nahi dhokha hai.... Avni tujh se kitni choti hai, Tune kuch bhi karne se pahle ye nahi socha, apni umar nahi dekhi ?"
" Bol to aisa raha hai jaise main koi budhaa hu....." Raj sees him on his this words
" aur avni choti hai par bachchi nahi hai... use pta hai sahi aur galat kya hai.... agar mera uske liye koi bhi galat intentions hote to wo mujhe accept hi nahi karti... itna bharosha to tu apni behan par karta hoga...." Hearing this, Raj looks at Avni.
" Bachcha, tumhe is me kya dikhaa.... Neil hi kyon ? " Avni looks at Raj on this question, Raj's still talking to her softly
" Bhai.....
" What bhai ? Tumhe pta bhi hai ye kaisa hai.... iski kitni saari girlfriends hai ?" Avni is shocked at this disclosure of Neil by her brother.
Avni looks at Neil shocked and Neil gets scared by her look
" Oh bhai ye kya badnaam kar rahe ho mujhe, meri kab kaun si girlfriend ban gyi.... Avni ye jhoot hai "
" Accha! Bhul gye Neil Khanna college me dinbhar ladkiyon se gheere rehte the...aur abhi bhi... aur wo sab tumhari dost bhi hai "
" Haan to wo sab girlfriends hai... girlfriend nahi.... aur dost to aapki bhi km nahi hai... maine simran ko kabhi kuch btaaya....kya maine simran ko btaaya ki uske pahle tumhari ek crush thi " Sirman's eyes widen hearing this
" Kya ?" Simran asks
" Haan, ab jab mujhe badnaam kiya jaa raha hai to iski bhi sun lo... tumhare pehle kisi aur ko pasand karta tha "
" Ye kya bakwas hai... wo sirf 1 din ki baat thi " simran gets angry hearing this
" Haan to crush to crush hoti hai... ek din ki ho yaa fir zindagi bhar ki.... aur ye sahi hai aap karo to raas-leela, main karu to character dheela...
ye jo baar baar bol rahe ho ki meri soch aisi hai... tumhari jaankari ke liye btaa doon meri soch Avni ke liye bahut sahi hai... pyar karta hu, shaadi bhi isi se karunga...."
" Shaadi ?" Raj asks
" Ji haan, shaadi " Neil confirmed
" tumhe nahi lagta bahut aage tak jaa rahe ho.... Tumhe tumhari age pta hai ?
" Haan.. jo tumhari hai " Neil answers
" maine tumhari puchhi hai... ?" Raj ask
" 28 " Neil answers
" 28... aur avni ki kitni hai ?
" 23 " Neil answers
" aur tumhe lagta hai main avi ke shaadi 23 me karwaanga... dimag khrab hai ? Apni aur uski umar ka koi lihaz kar lete"
" Bro is me sharm lihaz ki kya baat hai.... sirf 5 saal ka faasla hai... koi badi baat nahi hai.... aur ye 23 saal me shaadi naa karwaane ka jo faisla hai tumhara, wo main samjh raha hu...
jab tak wo 28 ki hogi main to 33 ka ho jaaunga.... fir tum bologe ki main avi ki shaadi 33 me karwaaunga... ye koi baat hui...." Raj sees Neil on this
" dekh bhai ab n ye bahut jyada ho raha hai.... waise bhi maine sirf tujhe isiliye btaaya kyonki mujhe lgaa tu samjhega par nahi maine galat kiya... mujhe direct uncle aunty se hi baat karni chahiye thi.... waise bhi final decision unka hi hoga, after all wo avni ke parents hai, tum nahi...."
Neil says this on which Avni gets shocked...he said too much in the flow and Raj also gets a little shocked after hearing this and looks at Avni who is silent even after this.
" Sahi kaha, aakhiri faisla to maa Papa ka hi hoga... main kaun hota hu avi ke liye koi bhi faisla karne wala.. hai n avi ? " He said looking at Avni on which Avni shake her head in No
" Aisa nahi hai bhai... aap galat samjh rahe ho..." seeing Avni fear, Neil speaks on her behalf
" Oh bhai sahab, meri baaton ka galat mtlb nikaalkar... ab avni ko emotional blackmail mat karo... mera kehne ka koi bhi galat mtlb nahi tha... Avni ke liye tum important ho isiliye maine sabse pehle tumhe btaaya par ab main sidhe uncle aunty se baat karunga...."
Raj becomes silent on this words of Neil....but speaks after a pause.
" Congratulations Avi, you have really grown up...you have chosen a right guy..." he says while taunting Neil on which Neil looks at him
" Tumhari life me aate hi meri importance kam kardi... but its ok, waqt ke saath chize badalti hai... aur ab bhai ki kya jrurt, tumhare paas to tumhari ye bhabhi hai.. tumhe insab ke liye encourage karne ke liye, apne bhai ka saath dene ke liye...." He also taunts Simran because even after knowing all this she did not stop her brother but encourages them.... on his words Simran looks at him and before she can say anything, Raj speaks
" par sorry avi, jis trah pehle tum teeno ne mujhe is topic se dur rakha to yun samjh lo abhi bhi mujhe kuch nahi pta hai...... " Avni sees him emotionally, tears start forming in her eyes...
" aur jab tumhare is dost ko mere kisi faisle se fark hi nahi padega aur maa papa ka final decision hoga.... so now it is useless for me to say anything...That's why now you all keep me away from these things...."
" Bhai aisi baat nahi hai, main..... Avni is unable to say anything further when Raj turns and starts leaving from there. Avni is about to go after him but Neil holds her wrist...Avni doesn't turn towards him and Neil looks at her back and speaks
" Bhai aur mujh me chunna pad gya to ?" Avni hears his question and turns to him but doesn't answer... Sirman looks at them but at this time she doesn't say anything between them.
" Main kuch puchh raha hu.." Neil speaks
" Mujhe kisi ko chunne ki jrurt nahi padegi... I know bhai gussa hai... par main unhe mnaaungi aur wo maan bhi jaayenge... par is waqt ab aap unse aur kuch mat boliye... already aapne unhe bahut hurt kar diya hai, meri life ka decision lene ka unhe bhi utna hi haq hai jitna maa papa ko hai"
" Arre yaar I know... wo flow me mere muh se nikal gya... mera use hurt karne ka koi iraada nahi tha...
main kya jaanta nahi hu uski importance tumhari life me.... aur isi wajah se maine sabse pehle use hi btaaya.... agar wo important nahi hota to use kyon kuch btaata, sidhe uncle aunty se baat karta n... ho gyi galti mujh se... ab tum is baat ke liye mujh se gussa mat ho jaana "
" Main aap se gussa nahi hu... par ab aap jao yehaan se... mujhe bhai se baat karni hai.... Saying this, Avni removes his hand from her hand and goes away from there.
Neil sees her leaving, and Simran looks at him. She knows even though Neal is still showing himself to be very strong but somewhere inside he is afraid that Avni might choose Raj over him.
" Neil... Simran is unable to speak further when Neil sees her.
" Avni ke paas jao, aur haan uska khayal rakhna, main theek hu.... " Saying this, Neil immediately turns from there and goes out of the house and Simran doesn't understand what to do now... Raj has really overreacted but somehow his reaction is right... Argh, she doesn't understand whom she should support... On one hand, there is his brother, on the other hand, her husband and Avni in between... it would have been so nice if Raj had happily accepted their relationship, then all four would have been happy. she thinks.
On the other hand Avni reaches Raj's room where Raj is standing in the middle of the room.. He sees Avni at the door but turns away from her, Avni feels very bad because for the first time in her life, Raj has turned away from her and before this Avni comes in or says something, Raj speaks.
" Yehaan se chali jao, mujhe is waqt tumse koi baat nahi karni " Hearing this, Avni comes straight to him, goes in front of him and hugs him.
" Bhai please, I'm sorry... main aapse kuch chhupana nahi chahti thi par...
" Par Neil ne mnaa kar diya hoga, right ,
" Nahi bhai, wo to aapko humesha se btaana chahte the Par maine unhe mnaa kiya tha... kyonki mujhe aapse darr lag raha tha... mujhe nahi pta tha aap kaise react karoge... aur dekho... aap mujh se gussa ho gye "
Hearing this from her, Raj gets more angry... It was his sister's decision, to lie, to hide the truth, all this was his sister's decision... But why... Didn't she have enough faith in him that he would understand her all these things..
Yes, he admits that he was overreacting at this time, but maybe Avni had told him all this well or told the truth, then maybe the situation would have been different
But still at this moment he is not able to think anything because he is hurt by Neil's words that he does not have the right to take decisions in Avni's matter...
And in all this confusion and anger, he does not want to talk to Avni about this, that is why he separates her from himself and says
" Tumhe jo sahi lgaa wo tumne kiya par is waqt sch me yehaan se chali jao... chahe jo ho main tum par gussa nahi karna chahta isiliye mujhe akela chhod do... baad me baat karenge... " Avni listens to him....she doesn't know whether he will talk to her later or not but if he is saying this so nicely so it is her duty that she should listen to him, that's why she starts going out of there while agreeing.
After she leaves, Raj turns towards the door where Simran is standing....Their eyes meet but Raj turns his face away from her and sits on the bed, on which Simran rolls her eyes and sighs.
