"I thought aap Kalyaan jewellers kahengi! ", Raaghav joked.

Vaidehi gave him a not so funny wala look as she continued," No but seriously, Kalyaan pharmaceuticals? ",Vaidehi was in a state of shock for sure.

" Umm yes! ", Raaghav said scrubbing his neck, his wife looked too cute with those big eyes he thought.

" Pehle kabhi kyu nahi bataya aapne! ", Vaidehi asked, a bit sternly.

Raaghav softly replied, " Kisine pucha nahi toh batana jaruri nahi samjha! Ab aapne pucha toh bata diya! ", exact words of Vaidehi.

She understood, they both were on the same plane. She understood his words, just as he did hers.

" Par sach mei!"Mei toh saadhaaran sa aadmi hu! "Aapne hi kaha tha na! ", Vaidehi asked slightly imitating him.

Raaghav release a chuckle, " Toh jhooth kaha tha isme! "

"Acha ji, one of the top pharmaceutical company in India, that competes in the International front as well, ke owner saadhaaran kaha se huye bhala!? " Vaidehi asked.

"Mei saadhaaran hi hu Vaidehi! Company ka maalik banne se koi extraordinary nahi banta, morever, company mere employees chalate hai! "He said.

" Extraordinary bante hai, Raaghav! Khud ek company khadi kar, usse Kalyaan jis heights par hai, waha lekar jana, is an extraordinary thing. Aur, bhale hi employees ke bohot efforts or contributions hai, lekin it's you too! Jab manzhi( navigator) aacha ho toh, gehre se gehre samundar bhi par ho hi jate hai! ", Vaidehi argued.

" Acha ok! Maan gaya! Fine? "Raaghav gave in.

" Umm! Better! "Vaidehi replied.

They finished their coffee as their talks continued.

After that they retired to bed.

~Next day~

After the breakfast, Soumyawati said directed to Raaghav-Vaidehi and Rutvendra- Aanisha, " Aaj dono jodiya pagphere ke liye Ranawat's ke ghar jayengi. Humne already unn logo ko khabar karwadi hai, toh aap log bhi tayaar hokar nikalye jaldi! "

Saying this, both the couples left for their rooms.

While, Aanisha was excited to visit her house back, for Vaidehi it was never her own.

She was sulking like a child, which didn't go unnoticed by Raaghav. It was clearly shown on her face that she didn't wanted to go to the Ranawat villa.

Still in order to tease her a bit, Raaghav said, "Kya huwa Vaidehi? Aap khush nahi lag rahi? "

Till now they both had developed that comfort zone amongst each other, that they would speak freely, atleast in some matters, so Vaidehi directly told him the dilemma she was going through, " Humme vaha nahi jana, Raaghav!. "

Raaghav was happy, earlier she needed a little persuasion to get things out of her, but slowly she was opening up on her own.

"Par aisa kyu? " Raaghav asked.

"Aise hi! Bas nahi jana! " She chided.

"Arey, par dadisa ko mana bhi toh nahi kar sakte na! "

"Hmm. Jaante hai, par..

" Vaidehi, jana toh padega na!" He again said in a soft tone.

"Hmm.. Hum tayar hokar aate hai. ", she said.

Raaghav, was surely awed by her. She carrying that" uff I soo don't want to this look" was so cute he thought.

Just then he got a call. The one that he had waited for long.

After the call he had a huge smile on his face, which increased in manifold, when he found his wife standing in front of the mirror, wearing a simple suit which somehow looked too good on her.

He understood, that dressing simple, way to odd for the occasion,was her way of showing that she wasn't interesting in going to the villa, but was only doing it out of obligation.

( Vaidehi's attire)

( Raaghav's attire)

He then gaining her attention asked her, " Tumhare bags ready haina? "

Vaidehi, who now knew the reason why he had told her to not unpack them on the night of their marriage just replied in affirmation.

"Good! I'll take them out, hum vaha se hi Chimur ke liye nikal jayenge! " He said.

"Ok" She replied.

Actually, few days back, Vaidehi had finally asked him, about why he didn't let her unpack the bags, and he putting a break on her overthinking mind had told her about the fact that, it was because, they would be leaving for Chimur anytime soon, so it would be tiring to pack and unpack the bags, just for that reason he had asked her not to unpack. With that she even told him, what she herself was thinking regarding it, and they had laughed over it.

Raaghav, had wanted to return back to Chimur since a long, that mahal felt like home to him. Morever, now for the additional reason that dadisa would not let Vaidehi work for here, so Chimur is the best option, acknowledging the fact that it was close to the hospital as well.

After that Raaghav himself got ready, asking Vaidehi to wait for him downstairs, he left to go somewhere.

Vaidehi was waiting for Raaghav downstairs along with Aanisha and Rutvendra. Damyatti was also present.

Aanisha commented in Vaidehi's ear , "Aaj toh ache, mehenge kapde pehen leti! "

Meanwhile, Raaghav had gone into his grandfather's room. Seeking permission he went inside.

"Yeh lijiye dadusa! Sugar free hai! " Saying this he extended a piece of mithai towards his dadusa, Rana Amrendra's mouth.

Rana Amrendra not understanding, ate the sweet.

Next Raaghav turned towards his dadisa and again extended another piece towards her.

"Kis khushi mei mithai baat rahe hai, Raaghav? Biwi ke maike jaane ki itni khushi? " , she asked hautely

"Tsk.. Tsk.. Tsk.. Kya puch rahi hai aap dadisa! Kisi bhi naye navele dulhe ko aapni biwi ko dur bhejna bhayega kya! Bilkul bhi nahi! " He said, giving her a disapproving expression.

"Toh phir? " It was Rana Amrendra who asked.

"Shantidhara Aur Chimur palace ke jo legal procedures thay woh bhi pure ho gaya hai aaj. Puri tarah se humare ho gaye hai woh dono. Ussi ki khushi hai bas! " Raaghav replied.

Hearing this, Soumyawatti was reminded of a loss that she suffered by losing these two properties. She was fuming.

She immediately said, " Itni hawa mei maat udye Raaghav! Kab pankh tootenge pata bhi nahi chalega! Aur muh ke bal girenge aap. "

"Jyada lagta hai kya? " Raaghav requestioned her.

"Huh? "

" Nahi, woh aap muh ke bal giri he na! Experienced hai! Toh waise girne se, lagti jyada hai kya? "He asked with a questioning look.

Rana Amrendra, if it was anyone else would  have fired that person. But here, it was the man who somehow amazed him. He could actually find himself as a smaller person in front of Raaghav. He strongly believed that it was something with the aura that his grandson, who probably hates him, carried.

"Aur waise bhi, khud panko ko sicha hai, itni aasani se tootne wale nahi hai!.. Dadisa.. ! " , Raaghav said sarcastically.

Then turning to Rana Amrendra he said, "Hum aur Vaidehi aaj Chimur ke liye nikal rahe hai! "

Rana Amrendra just hummed. He was not happy over Raaghav leaving again, just like every other time.

He was moreover sad for his son,Randhir, Raaghav's father. All this time that Raaghav was here, with the family, Rana Amrendra had noticed, how his son would have a spark in his eyes, it was going to get lost...again!

"Mahal toh aapne humse chin liye. Par socha hai, itne bade mahal mei sirf do jeev rahenge kaise. Kahi mahal ki badi badi deeware rishte mei deewar khadi na kar de. Waise bhi aap aur aapki biwi, rishte toh dono ke  sare ke sare hi kacche hai. Shayad iss naye rishte ka bhi unn dewaaro or kamro mei khona hi likha hai! ", Soumyawatti commented.

" Mei aur meri biwi, apne rishte ko sambhalna bhi jaante hai, aur sawarna bhi! Acha laga yeh jaan ke ki aap.. Aapko humare rishte ki padi hai, par i assure you, deeware kitni bhi badi ho, kamre kitne bhi door, duriya aane ki gunjayish bhi nahi rakhunga! "Raaghav said, directly looking into Soumyawatti's eyes.

" Itna barosa, khud pei yaa phir apni biwi pei, Raaghav! "

"Dono pei! "

"Bhulye maat, ek replaced groom hai aap! "

"Bass! " It was Rana Amrendra who interrupted.

"In logo ko pagphere ke liye bhi jana hai! " He said.

"Aur tumhe phir Chimur ke liye bhi nikalna hai na?! " He again said looking at Raaghav.

" Niche chalte hai sab wait kar rahe honge! " Saying this he started walking towards the hall.

Just as he had  said, everyone was actually waiting there in the hall.
