RECAP - Anirivya's promise to Arnav

Ar - We know Shivomru for a long time, Karan. I know that they are very good at heart and if given a chance they will love our sisters more than anyone could ever love them. I also know that they have faced a lot of problems, like us, in their lives which made them the way they are now. But now.... now it's high time for them to understand their feelings and move on. By ignoring their feelings and holding onto their ego, they are destroying Anirivya's as well as their own lives. And as the brothers of Anirivya, its our duty to take care of them. At first, I thought that they were forced to stay in this marriage and I decided to get them divorce and take Anirivya back to New York. But when I found out they love Shivomru, I was hell confused on what to do. For a marriage to be successful, both the spouses should work on it. In this case only Anirivya is trying to work on their part and it is certainly not enough for their marriage to work out. But I don't want Anirivya to feel that we are being selfish by not letting them confess their feelings to Shivomru. So I am gonna give Shivomru a last chance....which will decide the future of their relationship.

Karan agreed with Arnav.

K - But...but do you think Anirivya will be able to control themselves if everything gets wrong???

Ar - That's my only worry in this situation!!! But our life is filled with challenges. Challenges that we did not create, challenges that happens beyond our control. The difference is how we respond to these challenges. And the best choice we have is to see those challenges as our call to action. We have to face every single challenges that comes our way either if it is a simple one or tougher one. And I just want to tell you only one thing that 'Prepare for the worst, a storm is on it's way to us'. We should never forget that now our responsibility is much bigger than before.

Karan walked and stood beside Arnav, who was standing near the window. They stared into nothing at common through the windows, now with a determination in their eyes. They were now ready to face anything.

Evening

Time passed, but the siblings were unaware of it as they were busy spending time with each other.

OBEROI MANSION

Everyone returned back after their work except Anirivya and Avni.

All were seated in the living room.

Living room

Dadi - Tej!!! Where is Anirivya?? They haven't returned yet??!!

T - (confused) They haven't returned?? I told them to return back by evening!!! Anyways, let me call them!!!

Tej stood up and moved away from there, with his phone.

(Note - No one except Tej knows that Avni is with Anirivya)

P - (disgustingly) For visiting the temple and coming back, they need a full day!!! Who knows where did they went or with whom they are now!!! I had told earlier itself that don't give these illiterate and characterless girls this much freedom!!! Huh, who cares about what am I trying to tell!!! Now see what's happening!!! Even after being a Oberoi bahu, they are not leaving behind their characterless behaviour!!! Such a shameless-

J - (shouting) PINKY!!! Just shut up!!! Don't forget that you are talking about my daughter-in-laws too!!! They are like my daughters and if you again utter a single word about them, I will forget that you are my sister-in-law!!!

P - Jethaniji, you don't know about these girls!!! They are not what you are thinking they are-

D - PINKY!!! Shut up or else I will not hesitate to give a hard slap on your face!!!

Pinky made a disgused expression and went from there muttering something.

Jhanvi sighed exhaustingly. She turned to look at Shivomru who didn't even uttered a single word till now.

J - I can't believe this!!! Someone just said some disgusted things about your wives and you are just hearing it without any problem!!! What kind of behaviour is this, Shivomru??? Are you really our old kids!!! My sons, who couldn't even control the insults given to their mother by their father, is now silently sitting without any reaction hearing someone accusing their wives!!! What happened to you three??!!! Why are you behaving like this!??

Shivomru remained silent trying to avoid the stares they were receiving from their family members.

Jhanvi shook her head disbelievingly and went from there, with tears in her eyes. She failed to notice that her sons had changed this much, that would ruin their own lives as well as the three poor souls'(Anirivya's) too.

Other side

Arnav, Karan, Avneil and Anirivya were chitchatting in the living room, when Karan received a call from Tej. He attended the call.

Phone conversation

K - Hello uncle!!! What happened??!!

T - Karan, are you asking me what happened!!! Did you guys noticed the time??!! It's late evening and Anirivya hadn't returned yet!!!

Karan's eyes widened as he looked at the clock. Everyone followed his gaze as they too noticed the time. They panicked.

K - Oh sh*t!!! Really sorry, uncle!!! We didn't noticed the time!!! We were spending time with each other after a long time...we were so indulged in that, we didn't knew when the time passed!!! We will drop them quickly, uncle!!! Don't worry!!!

T - Ok ok!!! It's fine!!! Just drop them back and drive carefully!!!

K - Ok Uncle!!!

He hanged the call and looked at Anirivya, who jolted up from there position and ran upstairs to take their belongings. Others chuckled.

Av - Bhaiyya, I am staying at my friend's house today!!! So I will be going there!!!

Ar - Oh, ok then!!! Neil, go and drop her!!!

Neil happily agreed while Avni blushed. Anirivya came downstairs with their belongings.

Ar - Karan, you just drop them!!! I need to meet Mr Mehta!!!

Karan agreed.

Anirivya hugged Arnav. He hugged them back and kissed their foreheads one-by-one. They then hugged Neil, who hugged them back tightly and lifted them from the floor together. Anirivya squealed and others chuckled happily. He put them back on the floor and gave them a toothy grin. Anika punched his stomach as he growled at her.

A - This is for putting mine and my sisters' life in danger by lifting us all together. What if we had fallen, you idiot!!!

Neil scoffed at her.

N - (muttering) I should have let her fall intentionally!!!

A - I heard that!!!

Anika glared at him playfully.

K - Ok guys!!! It's enough for today!!! We should leave now.... Or else it will create unecessary problems!!!

Anika and Neil huffed and looked at each other. Others started moving outside. Neil sticked his tongue out at Anika and followed others. A small smile appeared on her face as she followed him outside.

OBEROI MANSION

A car halted in front of Oberoi Mansion. Anirivya and Karan got out from the car.

K - (gently) Take care of yourselves and don't stress too much!!! Remember everything we had told you today!!! We just need your happiness and that is the reason why we are telling all this to you!!!

Anirivya nodded and smiled at him. He kissed their foreheads and hugged them together.

Shivomru, who were in the garden, saw the scene, but were unable see Karan's face.

Anirivya, after breaking their hug,  bid-byed to Karan. He took his car and went back. They turned to see Shivomru standing near the main door. By seeing their faces itself anyone could tell that they were disturbed about something. Anirivya were terrified for a moment but quickly composed themselves. They started moving towards the door with Karan's words ringing on their heads- 'Remember everything we had told you today. We just need your happiness and that is the reason why we are telling all this to you'. They looked at each other and nodded. They walked past Shivomru without even sparing a glance at them as if they were not even present there. Shivomru were stunned and looked at each other.

R - (shocked) What just happened??!!

S - And who the hell was that man?!!!

O - Something is definitely not right!!! Did you guys noticed their change of behaviour?!!

Voice - They had not changed!!! They were always like this!!! It's just that you are noticing it now only!!!

Shivomru turned around to see Pinky standing with an evil smirk on her face.

P - It's not any of our's fault!!! These low class girls are always like this!!! When their eyes catch the sight of a rich man, they will do anything to trap them!!! Maybe now, they got someone richer than you three!!! And now there is no need for me to search for any proofs as you three saw it with your own eyes, isn't??!! Atleast now, kick them out of our house!!! I am telling for your good being only!!!

Shivomru went from there without telling anything.

Pinky smirked.

P - My job is done for today!!! Sowed the seeds of misunderstanding, now it will slowly start growing which will later become a large poisonous tree!!! Eventually, that three illiterate girls will be kicked out from their lives as well as from my house!!!
