Chapter - 5. The Acceptance

Bhopa becomes mad at Babaji-

Tujhe kya jarurat thi thand mein ghumne ki??? ....Aisa toh kabhi nhi hua pehele....chakkar kya aare, bimaar kya pad raha hai?

Sab uss Doctorni Ridhimaji ki wajah se..

Jaha se mein dekh raha hu na...yeh sab peheli baar ho raha hai..

Tere saat bhi aur mere saat bhi...

Tu uske kareeb nhi ja sakta aur mujhe tujhe warning bhi nhi deni pad rahi..

(Bhopa feels eased).

Ridhima looks after Babaji as Dr Sharan

is out of town. She attends Pratah Aarti along with him.

Day after day Babaji feels like he is coming closer to Ridhima knowing her in-n-out. Dialogue between them furthermore improves.

One fine day Babaji asks Bhopa what he feels about Ridhima.

Bhopa-

Lagna kya hai..Ek baat hai...

Chup chup rehti hai...aapne kaam se matlab rakhti hai...

Wo baki aaurto jaisi nah hai..khass karke wo Babita, Sonia aur parjaie..

Padhi likhi hoke bhi ghammand nah hai use...Meine kitna kuch kaha usse ..phir bhi kuch nhi boli...

Wo Pammi khudko meri biwi samajne lagi hai...aacha hua jo tujhe waqt rehete samaj aai ...nhito paglaa gaya tha tu.

Vaise ek baat bata Pyaar ho gaya hai na tujhe Ridhima se?...

Lekin ek baat samaj nhi aari....Pammi se badi dosti hogai uski, kaise?? Aur kyu?? Kisi se bhi baat nhi karti sivaay Pammi ke...Pehele Aarti mein bhi nhi aati thi ab aane lagi hai..Satsang bhi aati hai...

Kuch baate hai uski jo khatakti hai mujhe...Baki thike..

Babaji- Teri toh aadat hai ...humesha se zyada sochne ki...Mujhse bhi toh baat karti hai..

Bhopa- Suruvaat toh Aapne ki thi nahh..

khud se toh nahh aai wo...baate karti haii...

On Natasha's request to Ujagar, they both come to a place somewhere near Niraladham wanting to meet Pammi but Bhopa allows her to go out only for Aashram-linked work. So they are unable to meet her. Tinka and Rocky talk to Sundarlalji wanting to join their cabinet. After a long discussion, he agrees to the same.

Babaji & Ridhima meet to discuss some medicines which need to be ordered for the treatment process in Nasha Mukti Kendra and also inquire about Bhopaji's health. Babaji asks about her friendship with Pammi which has developed in a short span.

Ridhima to Babaji-

Pammi ka koi nhi hai yaha, wo akela feel karti hai. Isiliye baate karte hai hum dono. Shadi hone ke baad bhi wo normal couple nhi lagte. Bhopaji ka ravaiya uski taraf thik nhi hai. Pammi unke liye apne dil mein feelings rakhti hai.

Babaji- Aacha...Mein baat karta hu usse.

Ridhima- Aap unke dost hai..unhe samja sake to samjaiye.

Babaji to Bhopa- Pammi chahati hai tujhe??

Bhopa- Hogi to, kisne bataya tujhe..teri Doctorni ne..toh yeh vartalab hota hai unke beech mein.... Phir kya chahati hai wo aur tu kya chahata hai??

Babaji- Ridhima chahati hai ki mein tujhse baat karu aur samjau tujhe Pammi se aacha ravaiyaa rakhne ki. Mein toh Ridhima ko chahata hu.

Bhopa- Hmmm....Dekh liya 'pyaar ka bukhar' kaise hota hai.

Sadhvi getting insecure day by day on noticing frequent converge between Babaji & Ridhima has a full-proof plan this time.

Hukum, Sonia, Banno and Babita meet at Niraladham after Satsang.

Sonia tells them that their 'Swarg Bhoomi' project proposal has been rejected although they are thinking about planning something big this time says, Hukum.

Babita says that she is also making an effort to talk to Ridhima to include her in their plan.

Sonia notifies of knowing Ridhima while trying to get a whiff but is unable and at the same time is unsure of Ridhima helping them as having a very different attitude she just minds her own business.

Here Hukum feels that joining hands with Sundarlalji while bringing in 'Samjhota' is the only way to uncover Baba Nirala.

Babita is unlikely about Sundarlalji supporting them against Baba Nirala as he has got what he longed for.

Banno keens on her observation and senses something unusual this time between Baba Nirala & Ridhima's relation if any hence she stands unsure about Ridhima presently but agrees with Hukum's plan.
