2 Family Bonding

•Mehta Mansion

Third person Pov;

It's Sunday Morning 7:30 am !!!

A lazy day of the weekend. There is a different hatred towards the alarm (sleep spoiler).

“Beeping Of Alarm”

“Shut up! You sleep spoiler.” A girl said groaning by laying on her bed.

Her mom adjusting the messed up things in her room and she had taken the sleep spoiler word on her

and said firmly ,“Did you just said sleep spoiler to me?” and the girl ignores.

Oh!! Palak Mehta, “Gett off from your bed right now”. Her mom ordered

“Mumma please!!! Let me sleep for some while, it's Sunday yaar and not the typical working day.”

Palak replied while hiding her face in comforter.

Smita lefts Palak's bedroom and head towards the dinning room where Palak's father & dadi (Shekhar &

Savitri) having breakfast(Dhokla, Fafda and Jalebi with Kadak Kadak chai).

“You have spoiled Palak” said Smita with irritation and sit for her breakfast.

“She had a hard week days during office hours, it's Sunday, let her sleep for some while more”. Her

father replied defending her.

Her grandma (dadi) also defended her saying, “ Rather than complaining you should be proud of your

daughter, besides having a son, your daughter is ready for handling the business set up by her father.

Even if she sleeps for some while there is nothing wrong in it, she needs a beauty sleep as wholesale

package of the week!!”

There her Bhabhi(Kavya) entered in dinning room and taken side of dadi and described Palak as hard

working & ambitious girl of the family.

“She had chosen her carrier herself, we hadn't forced her into the business! Even if she is working hard

its her choice and if she quiets we don't have any objections.” Her mother said

Due to these arguments between family members Palak wake up and head towards the dinning room

yawning and asked everyone, “What's the matter? Why are everyone arguing so much on the Sunday

morning & where are bhai & my cutie pie viaan ?”

“It's the matter on you that the way you are working hard to make our business more successful. Veer

had an urgent meeting at Delhi in the early morning that's why he already taken off yesterday late night

by flight and your cutie pie is having his sweet sleep”. Kavya replied.

Palak requested all of them to stop talking about her and be there whenever she needs their support.

Smita said to Palak,“Go get a bath and get ready as we all are going to temple within hour.

Palak left the dinning room and go to her room to get ready.

MEANWHILE AT OBEROI VILLA:

Everyone in Oberoi family is fitness & health conscious and even at Sunday everyone is working out.

Paramveer (Dadu) loves gardening a lot and spend his utmost time in the garden. He had given different

names to different plants. He is in garden watering the plants in the morning.

Kaushal & Asha, Kushan & Roshni went for an early morning walk to nearby garden. Ritwik, Ruhani,

Manav & Jenny are working out in their home established gym.

Brothers & sister have a strong bond with each other and are together.

In the gym Ritwik started a conversation, “ Bhai, I have misplaced an important file of new investors. If

Dad found this that I have misplaced such an important thing of the Business, he'll get angry!!”

Manav advised Ritwik to get married

Ritwik said, “Yarr!! Is there any connection between the marriage and the misplacing the file? ”

Manav replied, “ If you are married, your wife is there to organize the things of yours and even keeps

the things at the right place where you can find them easily.”

Jenny is on the treadmill besides Manav.

She hits on the shoulder of Manav

“Ooww”, Manav groans and asked, “Why are you hitting me woman?”

She replied,“ Oh hello! I'm not your caretaker. I'm your wife.”

Listening to their banter Ritwik and Ruhani started laughing.

“That's the reason, I'm not ready for the marriage right now." Ritwik said.

“But Bhai one day you have to marry."Ruhani said teasingly.

Manav stopped his treadmill and head towards Ritwik, putting his hand on Ritwik's shoulder and

said“Yaar Ricky I have one doubt."

“What?”

“Have you ever dated a girl?”

“No"

“Then you sure you are straight?"

“Main dumbbell utha ke marna hay tere ko." Ritwik said showing dumbbell.(I will beat you with

dumbbell)

“Tere marne se sachai nai badal Jani." Manav said.(The truth doesn't change by beating me)

“Hato chalo mere naal room main dikhata hu aapko." Saying this Ritwik drags Manav out side the

gym.(ok then come with me in my room I will show you)

Listening to their conversation both Jenny and Ruhani laugh hysterically.

“Stop arguing like kids!!" Jenny exclaimed with irritation.

“Keep your lame talks with yourselves, I'm hungry so I'm gonna grab breakfast." Ruhani told everyone

who are present in the gym.

When Ruhani was going towards her room to take a shower, there she saw her father, mother, uncle

and aunt coming towards her.

Everyone is going to be freshen up and then have breakfast together.

Everyone is going to be freshen up and then have breakfast together.

In Dinning room,

Everyone is having breakfast expect Dadu with mild talks.

Kushan started a conversation by telling that the walk in the today's morning is so refreshing and

energetic. There Kaushal asked Ritwik,“Are you comfortable in the business or getting some trouble at

point?”

To which Ritwik replied, “Don't worry Bade papa, I'm all good and business is functioning much better. ”

Paramveer entered the dinning room and listening to their conversation he said,“No business talks

during family time specially when there is Sunday and we are having breakfast together.”

Paramveer came and sit on the chair for breakfast there he gets a call from Hemangini (buva) from

which he get to know that his daughter is coming to Oberoi villa to meet all of them after a long time.

He told everyone that Hemangini is coming for lunch with her family. Everyone is very happy by listening

this.

At meantime Manav gets a call from his workplace.

He have to receive the call as it is from his manager. Dadu interrupted in between his call and told him,

“Ooye bandh kar yaar, maine bol diya na! Koi kam ki baat nai. Toh rakh aapna phone varna maine na

maar dena tere kaan ke nichhe!!” ( Put your damn phone off, told you that no business talks on right

now orelse I'll gonna slap you)

“OK Dadu”. Manav said cutting his call.

After this Dadu announced that,“ Aaj jisne bhi call receive kiya usne mere haath se chaped khana hai! ”

(I'll gonna slap who receives the call)

Ritwik replied to this announcement,“Ae toh koi sahi gaal nai hai!” (It's not the right thing)

“Chup kar khote da putar!” Paramveer told Ritwik(Shut up you son of donkey)

“Papa, mainu kyu bichh me gashid rahe ho?” Kushan asked Paramveer. (Why are you dragging me in

between?)

There Ritwik's phone ringing and it's call of his best friend Ishnai Grover. He sees towards his Dadu with

hopeful eyes to let him receive the call.

Dadu strictly said not to receive any call of anybody and even put your damn phone on silent.

Ishnai keeps on calling Ritwik but he is unable to receive the call due to warnings of Dadu.

After many failed attempts of her calling Ritwik, she called on land-line to which Paramveer is going to

receive but everyone is seeing him with accusing eyes.

So he said, “Aare aise kya dekh rahe ho mainu, land-line pe kisine call kiya hai important hi hoga!” ( Why

are you all looking me like that, someome is calling on land-line which means it must be important)

Dadu received the call and it's Ishnai over there.

Ishani started a conversation by greeting Dadu,“Hello Dadu, How are you, How is your health and why

Ritwik is not picking up my call? ”

To which Dadu replied,“Hello beta. I'm fit & fine. I have told everyone that not to receive anybody's call

during family time, by the way is there anything serious for Ritwik to know?”

“Nothing serious Dadu, I just called Ritwik to invite all of you for Lunch today at my place.” Ishani said.

“I'm sorry beta but Hemangini is coming today, so we can't.”

Paramveer answered.

“Oh great! Buva is gonna come!! OK fine than I'm inviting buva and her family too, so please come for

dinner tonight at my place.” Ishani said by inviting all of them.

After completing the call Paramveer told everyone that today is family friendly day. Ishani and her family

invited all of us for dinner.

Everyone is talking and having fun after some time buva & Niharika (Ritwik's niece or buva's grandchild)

came.

Everyone is so happy when niharika comes with buva. Ritwik rushed towards her and take her in his

arms.

“Chachu!! I missed you alot, Why don't you come to meet me? ” Niharika asked innocently.

“ Chachu also missed his nihu a lot, I'm sorry for not meeting nihu but I was very busy.” Ritwik replied

Putting Niharika down for some while, Ritwik bow down to his buva and again take Niharika in his arms

and head towards the living room and greets everyone.

Ritwik sits on sofa with nihu but she run towards bade nanu.

Roshini asked Hemangini,“How are you Didi and how's everyone at home?

“I'm fine & everyone back home are also fine.” Hemangini replied.

Nihu said,“I want to watch movie.”

“OK then! Let's go to home theatre room and watch the movie which you want to.” Manav said taking

her in his arms.

“No! I don't want to watch at home. I want to go out Manav Chachu.” Nihu told by telling her wish.

“Okay! We'll go to theatre and will watch movie with popcorns.” Ruhani told everyone.

“After movie we will go to our nearby hotel and there we'll take lunch. Is it okay with you all?” Jenny

suggested everyone.

Asha agreed, “ Nice idea, we'll do that."

Kaushal said, “ Agar bachcho ka mann hai toh theek hai ji, chalte hai.” ( OK then! If kids wants to go out

then let's go.)

Paramveer said, “ OK fine, everyone go and get ready.”

“Nihu! Come with me.” Ruhani told nihu.

“OK buva.” Nihu said happily.

After half an hour everyone is ready and went to theatre.

*************

At Mehta Mansion

After having breakfast with lots of talks & fun with viaan

Everyone is ready and went to Temple.

They worshipped there and spend some time by chanting for God.

After sometime they left for Garden. Everyone was sitting in grass. Palak was playing with Viaan.

Viaan stand up slowly from Palak's lap and go towards his mom. Palak called him back.

“Viuu, bua k paas aao.” Palak said ( Palak called viaan to him).

Viaan ran towards Palak.

Meanwhile Kavya gets a call from Veer.

“Hello Veer."

"Hello dear, How are you and everyone?”

“ I'm fine and everyone are also fine.”

(The sound of children playing in the garden)

"Where are you?"

"We all had went to Temple and now we are at garden."

"What's our baby doing? "

"He is playing with her bua and is very happy by seeing the surroundings."

"OK I'll have to do some work and will be home by tomorrow morning."

"OK bye dear! Take care."

Kavya cuts the call and tell everyone that tomorrow morning veer will be back home.

After sometime they all went for lunch.

After completing the movie Oberio family also go to Oberio's Hotel.

Both the familys are stuck in the traffic but at different areas.

After sometime they reached hotel but a time gap of half an hour. Mehta's are having lunch. Oberio's

are in private lounge and having VIP services. Ritwik gets a call which is important to receive so he

excuse himself and he is going out of private lounge.

There Palak is searching restroom for viaan and reached the private lounge of Ritwik. She opens the

door and Ritwik is right ahead talking on his phone. Then he see a girl standing in front of him. A minor

eye contact happened between them, there viaan touched Palak's cheeks and she come out of the

trance.

Ritwik's POV

I got an important call so I came out in lobby. When I finished the call and turned to the lounge I saw a

girl standing in front of me. She is simple and beautiful, having long and silky hairs, her almond shaped

brown eyes and wait a second, is she carrying a baby? Oh God shit! Ritwik put a grip on your thoughts

she is married. Why she came here towards my private lounge. She was going to open the door and I

stopped her at the door.

I said, “Oh hello Mam, stop right there.”

“What's your problem mister? ” she said annoyingly.

“That's my private lounge and outsiders are not allowed to enter.” I replied little rudely.

“Sorry, I'm not aware of it, I was finding a restroom.” she said politely.

“Okay! If you are finding a restroom then it is at right side of the lobby.”

“Okay! Thank you.”

She is so polite with me even when I talked little rudely, there are less girls who are polite with someone

even someone talked rude with them.

I was watching her retreating figure. Then I joined everyone for lunch. When I was having lunch I felt a

strong gaze on me. When I noticed, Dadu was shooting daggers at me. I asked confusionly,“What

happened Dadu.”

“Khote da puttar, main boliyasi na family time me koi call vall nai!” Dadu told me little sternly (I told you

not to receive call while having family time.)

“Sorry Dadu, It is an important call that's why I have to take it.” I said innocently.

“Fine! This time I am sparing you but from the next time I won't do that. ” Dadu said.

End of Ritwik's POV.

Third person POV

All of them were having lunch with alot of fun and pulling eachother's leg. At the other side Palak was in

restroom with viaan, after sometime she left the restroom and head towards her family.

After having the lunch Mehta family departs from the hotel.

There Ritwik's head strikes an idea to go for the surprise visit of his staff and to know how they are

working in his absence. He told everyone this idea and asked permission from Dadu. Dadu is happy to

see that his grandson is serious to his work.

Dadu give permission of this to Ritwik.

Palak and her family is sitting in their car and Palak is handing viaan to kavya.

Meanwhile Ritvik was passing by the lobby from there he notice palak near the parking and kept looking

at her and thought that she is the same girl who didn't know her way to restroom but then he

remembers that she is married. He kept looking at her till she sits in the car. After that he went towards

his staff so that he can check on them.

So here is the end of first chapter.
