Guddan reached home along with Choti..All the ladies of the house were sitting in the hall and having a chitchat..They saw Guddan returning home..Durga stood up and approached towards her..

Durga-(heading towards Guddan)Are,Saasu Maa!!Aa gayi aap!!Aap jaake fresh ho jayiye!!Main Choti ko fresh kara kar uske kapde badal deti hoon...Laayiye dijiye..(saying this,she forwarded her hands to take Choti in her arms)

Guddan-(suddenly jumping away backwards,screamed)Are,are!!!Durga bahu!!Kya kar rahi hain aap!!

Everyone was shocked at this..They couldn't understand why did Guddan behave like that!!

Durga-(confused)Saasu Maa!!Kya hua??Maine kya kiya??

Daadi-Kya hua,Guddan beta???

Guddan-Maa!!Durga bahu!!Hum bahar se hokar aayein hain!!Aapko pata hai na bahar kaisa maahol hai!!Jab tak hum acche se fresh nahin ho jaate,kapde nahin badal dete aur sanitize nahin kar dete haathon ko,aap sab ka humse 6 feet durr rehna hi sahi hai!!Aur Choti bhi toh humare saath gayi thi na!!Toh use aap kaise fresh karwa sakti hain!!!Yeh bhi humein karna chahiye!!Khamakhan aap kyun bimari ko nyota de rahi hain!!Hum abhi jaate hain aur fresh ho kar aate hain!!

(asking Durga to be aside)Side,side!!Durr rahiye humse!!

Saying this,she ran to her room straight,holding her daughter in her arms,without touching any furniture of the hall...

Everyone nodded at Guddan's behaviour and awareness..

Durga-(sighs)Saasu Maa bhi na!!Sabka khayal rehta hai unko!!Jab se Corona shuru hua hai,tab se woh hi hain jo sabse zyaada satark rehti hain!!Bina sanitation ke woh kisiko andar hi nahin aane deti aur na hi kuch choone deti hain!!

Lakshmi-Haan,Durga di!!Saasu Maa toh iss maamle mein AJ se bhi zyaada kadak ho gayi hain!!Aur agar koi galti se sanitize karna bhul gaya,toh kya daant padti hai use!!Yahaan tak ki AJ ko bhi daant padti hai😂!!

The bahus and Daadi laughed at this..After sometime,Guddan came downwards,getting herself and Choti freshen up..She also made Choti asleep after feeding her as the latter was tired..Guddan came and sat with her mother-in-law and bahus..Durga gave a glass of water to her..

Daadi-(teasing Guddan)Kya hua,Gudiya!!Acche se sanitize kardiya na khudko!!Dekh le zara!!Kahin virus toh nahin hain na peeche!!

Guddan-Maa!!Kya aap bhi na!!

All of them had a laugh at this..

Guddan-Bahaar se lautne ke baad sanitize karna bahut zaroori hai iss maahol mein!!Khaas kar tab jab aap hospital yaa kisi public place par gayein tab!!

Lakshmi-(confused)Saasu Maa!!Woh sab toh theek hai par...aap public place ki baat yahaan kyun kar rahi hain!!Aap toh apne maayke hi gayi thi na!!Woh thodi public place hai!!Wahaan bhi toh Uncle ji,Aunty ji aur Revti ghar par hi rehte hain,kahin bahaar nahin jaate aur sab precautions lete hain!!!Toh phir aap kyun...

Guddan-Are!!Haan,Lakshmi Bahu!!Hum gayein the toh ghar!!Par lautte waqt humein hospital jaana pada!!Hospital gayein the hum!!

Akshat-(who had just arrived from his restaurant,overheard this and screamed)HOSPITAL!!!!

Everyone got a jerk at his scream and looked at the door...Guddan,who was drinking water,spilled it at her saree...She looked at her husband with a great shock😂!!!

Akshat ran to her and was about to touch her..Just then...

Guddan-(screamed,showing his hands to stop him)Ek minute!!

Akshat-(putting a brake to his pace)Kya hua!!

Guddan-(annoyed)Kya kya hua!!Baahar se aayein hain aur bina sanitize kiye humari aor aa rahein hain aap!!Jayiye haath sanitize kijiye pehle🤨!!

Akshat realized the same and whispered a sorry..He went and sanitized his hands..As soon as he went towards Guddan again,Guddan again stopped him..

Akshat-(confused)Ab kyun roka!!

Guddan-(annoyed)Kapde bhi toh badalne chahiye na!!Waise toh pura din bade gyaan dete phirte hain humein awareness ke!!Khud kya kar rahein hain abhi!!Haan!!!Kuch nahin toh apna coat toh nikaliye!!

Akshat did the same..Daadi and bahus were laughing at the cute banter of their favourite couple..

Lakshmi-(whispering to Daadi and Durga)Dekha!!Kaha tha na!!AJ ko daant pad jaati hai aaj kal🤣!!

The trio laughed at this and then got quiet before getting caught...

Akshat-Ab jaa sakta hoon aapke paas yaa phir aur kuch baaki hai!!!

Guddan-Nahin kuch nahin!!Ab thik hai!!

Akshat-(kneeling on the floor near Guddan,worried)Kya hua???Tum hospital kyun gayi thi??Theek ho na??(cupping her face)Haan!!Tabiyat thik nahin lag rahi hai kya???Doctor ko bulaun???Princess thik hai na??Use bukhar hai kya??Batao na,Guddan!!!Chup kyun ho!!

Guddan-Aap kuch batane denge toh hum bataayein😒😶!!!

Akshat got quiet at this and nodded..

Guddan-Aap bhi na,Jindal Sahab!!Zaroori thodi hai ki har baar insaan jab bhi hospital jaayein toh patient hi bankar jaayein!!Attendant bankar bhi toh jaa sakta hai na!!

Then Guddan explained them everything..From how she met the family till she made the person admitted in the hospital..She narrated everything..

Akshat-(sighed in relief)Thank god!!Pehle batana chahiye tha na!!Main kitna darr gaya tha pata hai!!!

Guddan-(confused)Aapne batane hi kab diya humein😕!!!

Akshat bit his tongue at this..Everyone else was laughing at this...

Daadi-Beta!!Woh log kaun the??Aur jinhein tune hospital mein admit hone mein madad ki ab unki sehat kaisi hai??

Guddan-(disappointed)Wahi toh nahin jaan paayein,Maa!!Aakhir tak rukne waale the par ruk hi nahin paayein!!

Akshat-(confused)Kyun??

Guddan-Aapki laadli princess ke wajah se!!Humein rehne hi nahi diya!!Madam ki neend tut gayi aur bhookh lagi!!Toh rone lag gayi!!Humein majbooran wapas aana pada!!

Akshat-(possessive)Ek minute!!ek minute!!Meri princess ko kuch mat kehna,okay!!Main kuch nahin sununga uske baare mein!!Use bhookh lagi toh woh apni Mumma ko kahegi na!!Ismein uski kya galati!!

Durga-Haan,Saasu Maa!!Aap Pari ko kuch mat kahiye!!Mujhe accha nahin lagta !! (With a sad face)

Guddan-Accha ji!!Han,bhai haan!!Dekha,Maa!!Itna sa kya keh diya humein,yeh sab toh humse ladne baith gayein!!Apni laadli ke baare mein inn sab ko kuch nahin sunna!!Toh sochiye!!Jab woh thodi aur badi ho jaayegi toh yeh sab milkar use kitna bigaadenge!!Sar pe bithayenge!!Aur phir woh apni Maa ki ek nahin sunegi!!Waise bhi kaunsa sunti hai!!Jab dekho Papa ke paas rehna hai usse😒!!

Daadi laughed at the cute complaints of her daughter-in-law..Akshat laughed at the cute jealousy of his wife cum the mother of his daughter..

Akshat-Thik hai,bhai!!Aap sab apni baatein continue kijiye!!(standing up)Main toh chala apni princess ke paas!!(teasing Guddan)Dhoondh rahi hogi woh apne Papa ko!!Aur ab,Papa and Princess milkar dher saara time spend karenge and Papa aapni princess ko aur bigaadenge!!Main toh chala!!

Saying this,he left from there and went to his room..

Guddan-😒😒

Others were enjoying this..Soon,everyone departed to their respective works..Daadi also went to read her scriptures..

Daadi was sitting in the hall,talking to her grandsons..Akshat was doing some work in his study room..Guddan and Lakshmi were in kitchen..Durga was with Aarav and Choti..

After sometime,a woman and her husband entered Jindal Bhavan..

Woman-(to dadi)Jiji!!

Daadi looked at the entrance upon hearing the call and got surprised..She got super happy seeing the couple..

Man-(to daadi)Hum aapko yaad toh hain na,Bhabhi!!

Daadi-(happily)Are!!Satish bhaisahab aur Aparna😃!!

Yes..They were Satish Jindal and his wife,Aparna Jindal..They were Daadi's Devar and Devrani respectively..And they were the same family,whom Guddan helped on her way back to home..

(Sorry,readers!I am unable to upload the pics of the characters as it is already present in the my previous update entitled "CHARACTER SKETCH"..You can refer to that update if some confusion is there in your mind regarding the new entries..And yes!!I wished Sachin Pilgaonkar to play the character of Satish Jindal as he is my one of the favourite actors and also,the kind of character I have described for Satish,he will be perfect for this character..I hope you all will understand my point of view ☺.)

The couple entered inside and touched Daadi's feet to take her blessings..Just then other family members also arrived there,except AkshAn..While the sons were thrilled upon seeing them,bahus were confused as they haven't met them ever..Daadi introduced all of them to each other..The youngsters took the blessings of Satish and Aparna..

Daadi-Aaj main bahut khush hoon,aap dono ko yahaan dekhkar..Aaj itne dino baad aap dono ko dekhkar bahut accha mehsoos ho raha hai..Maano mera parivaar ek saath aa gaya humesha ke liye!!

Aparna-(holding Daadi's hands)Hum bhi bahut besabri se intezaar kar rahein the aapse milne,Jiji!!Hum toh bahut pehle aa jaate!!Par aap jaanti hain na,iss Corona ne sabko rokdiya!!Isiliye inhone(Satish) kaha ke lockdown khulte hi sab India chalenge aapse milne!!

Satish-Ji,Bhabhi!!Hum toh aaj subah hi pahunche US se!!Yaahaan bhi bahut pehle hi pahunch jaatein par....

Daadi-(puzzled)Par!!???

Then,Aparna narrated her everything..Everyone was shocked but later they were relaxed as they found Satish safe and sound..

Daadi-Hey,Kanha!!Tera laakh laakh shukar hai!!Mere parivaar ki raksha kardi tune aaj!Itni badi musibat taal di!!

Satish-Bhabhi!!Shukriya sirf Kanha ka hi nahin,uss bacchi ka bhi kijiye,jisne meri jaan bachayi!!

Aparna-Haan,Jiji!!(emotionally)Woh ladki humare liye farishta bankar aayi thi!!Agar woh nahin hoti,toh pata nahin iss anjaan sheher mein kaun madad karta humari!!

Durga-Bhagwaan unhein lambi umar dein!!Unhone waqai mein bahut bada ehsaan kiya humare parivaar par!!

Meanwhile she looked at Lakshmi who was scratching her neck in confusion..

Durga-Lakshmi!!Tumhein kya hua??Kya soch rahi ho??

Lakshmi-Durga Di!!(looking at Dadi)Daadi!!Guddan Saasu Maa ne bhi aaj aisa hi ek kissa sunaya tha na ki unhone bhi ek family ki madad ki!!Ajeeb ittefaq hai na!!

Daadi-Haan!!Baat to teri sahi hai!!Ho sakta hai woh kisi aur ki baat kar rahi ho!!(shrugging off)Are!!Yeh sab toh theek hai!!Par,Aparna!!Tumhare bete bahu kahaan hain??(sadly)Na main unki shaadi mein jaa paayi aur na hi unhein aashirvaad de paayi!!

Voice- "TOH AB DE DIJIYE NA,TAAI JI!!"

Meanwhile,Satish and Aparna's elder son Raghav and daughter-in-law Avantika entered the mansion..

(Refer to the above mentioned chapter for character sketch, please😅!!)

Daadi became happy seeing them..They touch her feet to take her blessings..Aparna introduced her son and bahu to everyone..

Daadi-(caressing them lovingly)Badi pyaari jodi hai tum dono ki!!Bilkul Mere Akshat aur Guddan ki tarah!!Kanha tumhari jodi ko humesha salamat rakhein!!

Satish-Are,Bhabhi!!Jodi se yaad aaya!!Bhai,aapke bahu-bete Guddan aur Akshat kahaan hain!!??Humein bhi toh unhein aashirvaad dena hai!!Na hum unki shaadi mein shaamil ho paayein,aur na hi aapki bahu se mil paayein!!Ab toh un dono ko ek pyaari si beti bhi hui hai!!Uss nanhi pari se bhi toh milna hai humein!!Mujhse toh raha hi nahin jaa raha hai!!

Daadi-(smiling)Haan,haan!!Bilkul,devar ji!!Main abhi bulaati hoon!!(looking at Durga)Durga Bahu,beta jaa kar Lalla aur Guddan ko bula dey zara!!

Durga-Ji,Daadi!!

Durga went to call them..

Daadi-(looking at the door)Rishabh nahin aaya kya!!?Nazar nahin aa raha hai!!Kahaan hain woh??

Raghav-Tai ji,woh coolie ka kaam kar raha hai abhi😂!!(Avantika hit him)Aaaah!!I mean,gadi se samaan nikal raha hai,aata hi hoga😅!!

Outside the house,Rishabh was taking out the luggages from the car..Just then,Revti also entered through the main gate..She walking fast looking at her phone..Due to which,she collided with Rishabh,who was having his back faced to Revti while taking the luggages..They both collided with each other and fell down..They both looked at each other and gave an irritating look to each other..

Revti and Rishabh-(in unison)Dekhke nahin chal sakte kya😠!!!

They got up and gathered the things that were scattered on the floor due to their collision..

Rishabh-Thik se chalna nahin aata kya!!(looking at his luggage)Mera samaan gira diya!!Kitni mehnat lagi thi iss bhaari luggage ko uthane mein,pata hai!!

Revti-Jab utha nahin sakte,toh laao bhi mat na!!Aur waise bhi,luggage ko gadi se nikaal kar log side mein rakhte hain!!Aise beech mein kaun rakhta hai,yaar!!

Rishabh-Main karta hoon!!Any problem 😏!!Aur yeh accha hain haan!!Ulta chor kotwal ko daante,haan!!Khud phone mein ghuskar bina saamne dekhe chal rahi thi,aur mujhe keh rahi ho ki meri galti hai🙄!!Kamaal hai!!

Revti-Excuse me!!Main phone mein ghusi nahin thi!!Important kaam tha isiliye phone pe kaam kar rahi thi!!Warna main unn logon mein se nahin hoon,jo raaste par bhi apne kadam ke badle phone par nazar dete hain😏!!(after some time)By the way,tum yahaan kya kar rahe ho??Main pehle kabhi toh nahin dekha tumhein 🧐!!

Rishabh-Kyun!!Tum kya yahaan ki chowkidaar ho jo aaye jaayein sab par nazar rakhti ho!!(irritating Revti)And by the way!!Yeh sawaal mujhe puchna chahiye ki tum yahaan kya kar rahi ho??Kaam karti ho yahaan??

Revti-Ji,nahin!!Main yahaan apni behen se milne aayi hoon!!Meri behen ka ghar hai yeh!!

Rishabh-(confused)Behen ka ghar!!Tum apni behen se milne aayi ho!!Par aisa kaise ho sakta hai!!Tumhari aur tumhari behen ka ghar alag kaise ho sakta hai🤔!!Tum dono ek ghar mein nahin rehte kya??

Revti-🤦🏻‍♀️!!Alag ho sakta hai!!(taunting him)Woh kya hai na,jab ek behen ki shaadi ho jaaye aur woh apne sasuraal mein rehne lag jaayein,toh do beheno ka ghar alag ho jata hai!!Samjhein???

Rishabh-Oh!!Are haan,main samajh gaya😅!!

Revti-😬!!Khari!!Tumhein jo karna hai karo!!(looking at her watch)Already mera time waste kar chuki hoon tumhare saath behes karke!Main jaa rahi hoon andar!!Bye!!

Rishabh-(stopping her)Are suno toh!Woh kya hai na,tum bhi andar jaa rahi ho aur main bhi andar hi jaane wala hoon!!Toh kya tum please zara meri madad kar dogi!!Yeh ek do luggage le jaao na zara apne saath please !!(Revti glared at him)Kya!!Ghur kya rahi ho!!Tumhari bhi galti thi samaan girne mein!!Thodi toh bharpaai karo!!Pakdo ise!!(handing her a bag)Follow me!!

Saying this,Rishabh walked ahead with some stuffs,forcing an annoyed Revti to follow him with the other stuffs..

Both of them entered Jindal Bhavan and Rishabh went towards Daadi to take her blessings..Revti put the luggage there and took a sigh..Rishabh was introduced to everyone...

Daadi-(caressing his face lovingly)Kaisa hai tu??Bade din ho gayein the tujhe dekhe hue!!Aankhein taras gayi thi apne Rishu ko dekhne ke liye!!(emotionally)

Rishabh-Ab aa gaya hoon na!!Mann bhar ke dekh lena!!(side hugging her)

Daadi-(looking at Revti)Are!!Revti beta!!Tu kab aayi??Idhar aa na!!

Revti went to her and took her blessings..

Revti-Main bas abhi abhi aayi,Daadi!!(glaring at Rishabh)Kisiki madad kar rahi thi saamaan uthane mein!!Gir gaya tha na,isiliye!!

Rishabh-😏

Daadi-Accha thik hai!!(introducing Revti to Satish's family)Yeh Revti hai!!Guddan ki choti behen!!(to Revti)Revti!!Beta,yeh Lalla ke Chacha-Chachi hain!!Aur yeh unke bete bahu!!

Rishabh-(thinking)Oh accha!!Toh yeh Guddan bhabhi ki behen hain!!

Revti took their blessings and greeted Avantika and Raghav..

Meanwhile,Durga came along with AJ and Guddan..Durga was carrying Choti in her arms..

Durga-Daadi!!(signalling her the arrival of Akshat and Guddan..

Akshat-(happily)Chote Papa!!Choti Maa!!

Saying this he ran to them and took their blessings..Meanwhile,Guddan was standing there puzzled as she was surprised seeing the same family she helped at her house!!

Satish-(blessing Akshat)Jeeta reh!!(hugging him)Kaisa hai tu??Bahut miss kiya tujhe!!

Akshat-Maine bhi,Chote Papa!!Ab jab aap gayein hain na,toh kahin nahin jaane dunga!!Humein saath mein Chess bhi toh khelna hai😉!!(hi-fied with Satish)

(Looking at Aparna)Choti Maa!!(side hugging her)Aapko pata hai kitni yaad aati hai mujhe aapki!!Aur aapke haath ke bane halwa aur kheer ki!!

Aparna-(caressing his face)Mujhe bhi bahut yaad aati thi tumhari!!Aur yeh kya!!Itne bade chef ban gaye ho!!Abhi bhi mere haath ka khaana hai!!Are bhai,bas mere haath ka khaoge hi yaa khud banakar khilaoge bhi!!

Akshat-Are kyun nahin!!Aap jo kahengi woh khilaunga!!Par aapke haath ka bana khana bhi khaunga!!Main chahe jitna international level ka chef ban jaaun,Maa ke haath ka khaana na bana sakta hoon,na kahin khaa sakta hoon!!

Daadi-Hmm!!(pretending to be sad)Ab tum as gayi hona,Aparna!!Ab toh yeh apni Maa ko bhul ho jaayega!!

Akshat-(teasing her)Woh toh hai!!

Daadi-😮😳!!

Everyone laughed at this..Akshat hugged his brothers and was introduced to Avantika...Meanwhile Avantika's eyes fell on Guddan..

Avantika-(surprised)Are!!Aap,yahaan!!

While Guddan's family looked at Avantika,the gaze of later's family moved towards Guddan..

Lakshmi-(to Avantika)Aap jaanti hain Saasu Maa ko??

Aparna-(surprised)Are!!(to Daadi)Jiji!!Yehi toh hain jiski main baat kar rahi thi!!Isine toh inki jaan bachayi aur humari madad ki aaj!!

Rishabh-Haan!!Hospital jaane mein madad bhi inhone hi ki thi!!

Daadi and others were surprised,while Akshat was confused..Lakshmi gave Durga an "I told you" wala look..Raghav explained everything to Akshat and the later joined the dots of the incident that Guddan had described after returning from her Maayka..

Daadi-(proudly)Aparna!!Yahi toh hai,meri bahu,mere Lalla ki patni,India ki superstar aur India ki youngest saas,Guddan Akshat Jindal..(to Guddan)Guddan!!Beta,yeh Lalla ke Chote Papa-Choti Maa hain,yaani tere Chacha Sasur-Chachi Saas..

She gestured Guddan to come forward..Guddan did so..Aparna went to her..Guddan took her blessings and Aparna caressed her head lovingly..

Aparna-Uss waqt tumse milna chaha,par tum chali gayi thi!!Soch rahi thi,kaise miloon aur shukriyada karoon!!Par pata nahin tha,ki tum toh meri bahu ho!!Waqai mein,Jiji bilkul sahi kehti hain!!Tum iss ghar ki Lakshmi ho!!Tumhare acchai ke baare mein sirf suna tha,par aaj dekh bhi liya!!Kitna nek dil aur nek neeyat hai tumhari!!Bhala,anjaan logon ki madad koi aise hi thodi karta hai!!(folding her hands)Main aur mera Parivaar tumhara ehsaanmand hai!!Aaj jo tumne humare liye kiya,woh koi nahin karta!!(emotionally)Agar tum nahin hoti toh shayad aaj....

Guddan-(holding her hands)Are nahin nahin!!Yeh aap kya kar rahi hain!!Please aisa mat kijiye!!Aap badi hain!!Bado ka haath aashirvaad ke liye uthe toh hi Choton ki khushkismati hoti hai!!Maafi maange toh Chote hi sharminda hote hain!!Humnein jo kiya humara farz tha woh,insaaniyat ka farz!!Humare Papa ne bhi humesha humein yahi sikhaya hai,ki jab bhi tumhein kisiki madad karne ka mauka mile,toh kabhi peeche mat hatna!!Hum toh bas wahi karte hain!!

Aparna and rest of the family members were amused at her innocence and goodness..Akshat was adoring his Guddan proudly..Satish came forward and kept his hand on Guddan's head,in order to bless her..
